HIGH POINT – Federal stimulus money channeled through the Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation will benefit the city of High Point on a pair of transportation fronts. PART, the mass transit agency for the region, will establish a parkand-ride commuter lot at N. Main Street and Old Plank Road in northwest High Point. The lot will be on vacant land directly across from a Citgo service station and a commercial property
that includes an Aldi grocery store. The contract, which includes grading, paving and landscaping the land for the lot, will benefit a city company. The low-bid contract was awarded Wednesday to M&M Builders Inc. of High Point for $327,500, according to PART. The park-and-ride lot should be finished by the spring of next year, depending on winter weather interfering with work, said PART Executive Director Brent McKinney. Initially, the lot will serve commuters who

Spooktacular bargains Retailers say Halloween sales aren’t so frightening
PARKING RELIEF: Area college gets funding. 1B
BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – Halloween may be putting an end to ghoulish retail sales that have been recorded in the past year, according to local stores. The National Retail Federation is expecting consumers to spend an average of $56.31 on the holiday this year, down from $66.54 last year. But area stores say they’ve seen an increase in business as consumers make big plans for Halloween, which falls on a Saturday. Robert Hayes, store manager for Kmart at 2850 S. Main St., said costumes were the biggest seller for the holiday, but outdoor decor sales also increased. He said he believes this is largely due to Halloween taking place on a Saturday. “Consumers have been spending more this year than last year,” Hayes said. “People are wanting to decorate more. That might be due to the fact that the holiday falls on a weekend this year.” Joe Harmon, sales floor executive for Target at 1050 Mall Loop Road, said costumes had been one the store’s biggest sellers for the month. Consumers may have ditched the frugality they adopt-

The most popular costumes for kids this year stem from television shows and blockbuster movies including “Hannah Montana” and “G.I. Joe.” “Parents may be doing without themselves, but their child isn’t
going without a costume this year,” Hayes added. One of the year’s most popular Halloween masks for adults is a mask of Bernie Madoff, the financier recently convicted of one of the largest investment frauds in Wall Street history. Michael Jackson costumes also are expected to be popular this year in light of the pop star’s recent death. Candy and the last of the cos-
tumes will fly out the door a few days before the holiday, according to Harmon. Hayes said sales thus far for Halloween, the third-largest holiday for the retailer, gave him hope that holiday sales for the remainder of the year would continue to perform well. “I think it’s going to be at least equal to last year,” he said.

Cars seized in street racing bust up for auction BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – The blue Honda Civic parked inside a garage at Mendenhall Auto Auction Wednesday didn’t look particularly threatening. But last year, it caught the attention of state troopers in a big way. It’s one of more than 30 vehicles seized after a two-month N.C. State Highway Patrol undercover investigation into illegal street racing on N. Main Street in High Point and U.S. 311 in Forsyth County. The Civic, which at one time was modified to hit speeds well over 100 mph, will be auctioned off at the business this weekend, along with a Nissan 350Z, a BMW M3 and some of the other seized vehicles. “It should bring $15,000 to $18,000,” Forrest Mendenhall, founder and owner of Mendenhall Auto Auction, said of the Honda, a 2008 model with about 15,000 miles. “They all seem to be

Of course, they only used them for toys.” Troopers seized 34 vehicles and filed 188 charges after a sting operation caught a group of racers planning and carrying out races on video and audio recordings in November 2008. Most of the defendants were convicted of prearranged racing, which allows for forfeiture of the vehicles involved and the loss of driver’s licenses for up to three years. Some were
convicted of the lesser charge of spontaneous racing, which does not allow authorities to seize their vehicles but results in a license suspension. The sentences also carried probation and fines. “The testimony from the troopers was there were easily 100 races a month being run on that road, and it was just a matter of time before somebody would have been hurt or killed,” said Guilford County District Court Judge

Tom Jarrell, who presided over 18 of the defendants’ cases. “The Highway Patrol was extremely prepared for these cases.” The proceeds from the auction will go to Guilford County Schools after any liens are satisfied. Several of the seized cars will be auctioned in Forsyth County, where the remainder of the cases were handled. The Highway Patrol mounted the investigation after receiving numerous complaints about the races, which were typically held on Friday and Saturday nights by groups that used radar detectors, text messaging and other means to evade law enforcement. Some of the cars involved had tens of thousands of dollars of work done to soup them up for racing. Mendenhall Auto Auction is scheduled to auction some of the seized vehicles Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. at its facility at 6695 Auction Road.

GUILFORD COUNTY – Now that county leaders have accepted an $85 million price tag for the county’s new 1,000-bed jail annex, the bills and construction plans are starting to come in for approvals.

RALEIGH (AP) – Premier Inc., a health care purchasing and data company, announced Wednesday it’s moving its headquarters from California to Charlotte while increasing its work in North Carolina’s largest city by 300 jobs. A state economic incentives panel approved an agreement with Premier that could pay the company $4.1 million over the next nine years if it creates the jobs over the next five, keeps them through 2018 and meets investment targets. Premier, with 750 of its 1,250 workers already based out of Charlotte, will shift its headquarters from San Diego to Charlotte in part because many executive team members and its three divisions already are there, company spokesman Alven Weil said. The new jobs will be created due to the company’s growth and
sive single construction project. Balfour Beatty teamed with D.H. Griffin of Greensboro and Daniele Co. to bid for the project. As construction manager, Balfour Beatty took bids from subcontractors to tabulate the final price. The county’s contract calls for the firm to collect a 3 percent management fee on construction costs. The company will be responsible for any project cost overruns. Balfour Beatty representatives have said they plan to hire more than 50 subcontractors who could employ 1,200 new workers.
Stimulus funds to boost violence prevention ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
GUILFORD COUNTY – Gang violence prevention efforts will get a boost soon from federal stimulus funds. The Governor’s Crime Commission applied for $5 million through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) for North Carolina. Guilford County’s share so far is $139,500 for community-based youth gang violence prevention. Unlike many state grants, the ARRA-based grant requires no local match. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners is expected to approve the grant tonight during a 5:30 p.m. meeting in the Old Courthouse.
GANGS
----
Locals: Several large, national gangs found in most cities, such as the Bloods, Crips and MS-13, have members in High Point. The money will be distributed to the county’s court alternatives program, which works to find alternatives other than jail for defendants. Also on the list are Youth Focus, a non-profit agency which helps young people and their families learn to deal with gang pressures, and One Step Further, Inc., which recommends sentencing for juve-
niles, and provides conflict-resolution opportunities for them and their families. The state Street Gang Prevention and Intervention Act gives local Juvenile Crime Prevention Councils the task of developing programs to tackle delinquency, substance abuse and gang prevention. Sheriff BJ Barnes, who has been involved in the programs for years, claims that stopping young people from joining gangs or getting them out of gangs can make a difference. The sheriff’s office has a threemember gang unit that goes into schools and works with students, teachers and others in intervention and prevention efforts.

Afghan election runoff would face challenges KABUL – Afghan officials would face a daunting task in organizing a runoff presidential election before the arrival of winter – including hiring unbiased staff and securing polling stations in areas under threat of Taliban attack. The problems are unlikely to end there. Even if the Afghans were to pull it off, there’s no guarantee that another ballot – which seems increasingly probable – would produce a reliable partner for the U.S. and its allies in confronting the Taliban-led insurgency.
UNITED NATIONS – The Palestinians called Wednesday for global action to punish Israel for alleged war crimes during its military assault on Gaza last winter, warning the credibility of the United Nations and international human rights law was at stake. The demand was based on the findings of a commission headed by former South African judge Richard Goldstone that accused both Israeli forces and Palestinian militants of war crimes and possible crimes against humanity during their Dec. 27-Jan. 18 war.
Honduran factions agree on key point in talks TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras – Negotiators reached a tentative agreement Wednesday on whether to return ousted President Manuel Zelaya to office, but both the deposed Honduran leader and the coup-installed President Roberto Micheletti responded to the plan only by saying that talks would go on. It was unclear exactly what the proposed agreement entailed. Victor Meza, a negotiator for Zelaya, declined to give details.
Brown pledges more Afghanistan troops LONDON – British Prime Minister Gordon Brown pledged Wednesday to send more troops to Afghanistan but only if NATO and the Afghan government do more to help fight the Taliban. Brown said his government would increase British troop levels to 9,500 – an increase of about 500 – on the condition that President Hamid Karzai reduce corruption and improve his government’s performance.
Iraqi shoe thrower says he would do it again GENEVA – The Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at President George W. Bush said Wednesday he has no regrets and would carry out his brazen protest again, even if it cost him his life. Muntadhar al-Zeidi told Swiss television station Leman Bleu that, after being mistreated in Iraqi custody for two days following his outburst last Dec. 14, a judge asked him whether he regretted the gesture.

Israel: Turkish TV paints troops as child-killers JERUSALEM – Israel’s foreign minister has ordered ministry officials to summon Turkey’s ambassador in Israel and protest to him over a Turkish TV series that reportedly portrays Israeli soldiers murdering children, the Foreign Ministry said Wednesday.

U.N. food agency: Record 1 billion go hungry NAIROBI, Kenya – Parents in some of Africa’s poorest countries are cutting back on school, clothes and basic medical care just to give their children a meal once a day, experts say. Still, it is not enough. A record 1 billion people worldwide are hungry and a new report says the number will increase if governments do not spend more on agriculture. According to the U.N. food agency, which issued the report, 30 countries now require emergency aid, including 20 in Africa. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Pakistan’s army bares its teeth in U.S. aid flap ISLAMABAD (AP) – Just last week, Pakistan’s foreign minister was playing down his army’s objections to a multibillion dollar U.S. aid bill. Days later, after a session with the army chief, he was back in Washington urging U.S. lawmakers to address the very concerns he had dismissed. The about-face shows the delicate dance between Pakistan’s fragile civilian government and the powerful military. The proposed aid package would provide Pakistan with $1.5 billion a year over five years to spend mainly on economic and social programs.

BAGHDAD (AP) – Iraq’s government said at least 85,000 Iraqis were killed from 2004 to 2008, officially answering one of the biggest questions of the conflict – how many perished in the sectarian violence that nearly led to a civil war. What remains unanswered by the government is how many died in the 2003 U.S. invasion and in the months of chaos that followed it. A report by the Human Rights Ministry said 85,694 people were killed from the beginning of 2004 to Oct. 31, 2008 and 147,195 were wounded. The figures included Iraqi civilians, military and police but did not cover U.S. military deaths, insurgents, or foreigners, including contractors. And it did not include the first months of the war after the 2003 U.S.led invasion.

Obama says he’s looking at any way to create jobs SPRINGFIELD, Va. (AP) – Standing at the site of a highway project funded by his massive economic stimulus plan, President Barack Obama said Wednesday he is committed to exploring all avenues to create jobs. “Middle-class Americans are the ones who built this country,” Obama said. “They deserve leaders in Washington who are willing to work as hard as they work.” Obama spoke after touring a highway construction site in the Virginia suburbs outside Washington. The Fairfax County Parkway Extension project is the state’s largest stimulus-funded project.

President Barack Obama shakes hands with workers during a tour of the Fairfax County Parkway Extension project in Springfield, Va., Wednesday. When completed, it will connect both ends of Fairfax County. Obama first visited the

then is just one example of the work that’s being done to turn the economy around.

Studies: Some nursing home elderly get futile care LOS ANGELES (AP) – A surprising number of frail, elderly Americans in nursing homes are suffering from futile care at the end of their lives, two new federally funded studies reveal. One found that putting nursing home residents with failing kidneys on dialysis didn’t improve their quality of life and may even push them into further decline. The other showed many with advanced dementia will die within six months and perhaps should have hospice care instead of aggressive treatment. Medical experts say the new research empha-
sizes the need for doctors, caregivers and families to consider making the feeble elderly who are near death comfortable rather than treating them as if a cure were possible – more like the palliative care given to terminally ill cancer patients. “We probably need to be offering a palliative care option to many more patients to make the last days of their lives as comfortable as possible,” said Dr. Mark Zeidel of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, who was not involved in the studies.

SBI probe of shooting is proper procedure This letter is in response to The High Point Enterprise’s editorial headlined “Citizens still in dark about shooting” on Oct. 2. The Enterprise indicated Archdale police have jealously guarded documentary information after Randolph County Superior Court Judge V. Bradford Long refused to release police dashboard video footage of an incident involving UNC-Chapel Hill student Courtland Smith. The writer also indicated that there is a plethora of questions by the media and the public since the shooting. When did the media and the public start investigating or determining fault of law enforcement officers involved in shootings? It is normal practice by most law enforcement agencies to request an investigation by the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation when officers are involved in a deadly force situation.

Trinity election gets hot

A
s an incorporated municipality, the city of Trinity is almost a teenager (incorporated in 1997). But in the area of political intrigue, the Randolph County community of nearly 7,000 surely has reached adulthood. Tonight, residents of the city – and even interested parties who don’t reside inside city limits – will get the chance to view firsthand the political doings in this year’s mayoral and City Council races. The League of Women Voters of the Piedmont Triad is sponsoring a candidates forum featuring candidates for mayor and the four ward seats up for election this year. The event begins at 7 p.m. at Trinity City Hall. This year’s municipal election in Trinity has taken some unusual twists. Earlier in the summer, Councilwoman Barbara Ewings resigned her Ward 1 seat after a successful challenge of her residency by now mayoral candidate Carlton T. Boyles. Later in the summer, elections officials were forced to extend the city’s filing period in order to seek at least one candidate in the race for the seat formerly held by Ewings. Debra L. Frazier and Kristen C. Varner obliged and the Ward 1 race was on. In Ward 3, incumbent Karen Bridges, Thomas Michael Robertson and James Robin Russell Sr. are hotly campaigning for that seat. In Ward 2, incumbent Barry Lambeth and in Ward 4, Thomas Hayes Johnson run unopposed. But the most intriguing development in Trinity’s election came just this week, only three weeks before the Nov. 3 vote. Ward 1 Councilman Kelly Grooms, whose seat is not up for election this year, announced that he is launching a write-in campaign for mayor, making that now a three-way race for the city’s top elected post. Mayor Fran Andrews, in seeking re-election, already was being challenged by Boyles. But with the entry of Grooms into the mayoral fray this week, political junkies who get excited about local government now can spend time assessing the Trinity political scene. And tonight, at the League-sponsored forum, the candidates will be in the spotlight.

Obama’s prize is for a vision of a better America
S
o I guess now he’s a socialist-terrorist-secret-Muslim-radical-Christian-Hitler-clone and Nobel Prize winner? Forgive me for laughing, but half the fun of Friday’s surprise news that President Obama had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize lay in anticipating how his political adversaries would react. They did not disappoint. Rush Limbaugh pronounced the award “a greater embarrassment” than Chicago’s failure to land the Olympics. Titular GOP leader Michael Steele said the honor reflected only the president’s “star power.” Blogger Erick Erickson called it “affirmative action.” Of course, not even Barack Obama’s fiercest defenders – or, for that matter, the president himself – could argue with a straight face that he’s accomplished anything that merits this prestigious prize whose previous recipients include Desmond Tutu, Elie Wiesel and Martin Luther King Jr. “To be honest,” said Obama, “I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who’ve been honored by this prize.” He’s right, of course. But then, one suspects that what is really being honored here is not Barack Obama at all – and that “honored” is probably the wrong verb, to boot. I suspect that last week’s award was intended less to honor than to remind. As in, to prod a sometimes amnesiac nation into remembering and reclaiming its very best self. There has always been something rather bipolar about the United States of America. We have periodically seesawed between competing extremes. We’ve been the visionary and greathearted America that declared life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness inalienable rights, that fed and rebuilt Europe after a world war, that went to the moon, that inspired the world through the force of its ideals. And we’ve been the paranoid, reactionary America too small for those same ideals, the xenophobic, fraidy-cat America that wiretaps and witch hunts and sees Reds behind every lamp post, illegals on every street corner, terrorists at every bus stop. The latter America has asserted itself em-
phatically in the years since Sept. 11, 2001. Encouraged by President Bush and his endless appeals to expedience and fear, we retreated from our ideals the way you do from a house afire; indeed, we openly questioned whether ideals were still tenable in this frightOPINION ening new era. In the absence of ideals, we tortured, detained, Leonard spied, lied, alibied, all to a chorus Pitts of demagogic appeals that would ■■■ have done Joe McCarthy and Charles Coughlin proud. Meantime, the world watched and wondered what had become of the other America, the better one. Then along comes Barack Obama promising hope and change. Yes, it was just a political slogan. Except that this slogan from the campaign of 2008 doesn’t recede into irrelevance quite as readily as others before it – mainly because it was not what they were. Not, in other words, simply a tool to be used in a contest between competing political visions. Rather, it was a clarion call for people left bereft by the loss of the better America. It was an invitation to feel clean again for the first time in years. And if the invitation was powerful enough to get Obama elected, it was also powerful enough to lift a world that needs the better America and was beginning to wonder where it had gone. So this prize seems to me less an endorsement of Obama than a stamp of approval for a vision of our national greatness many had feared lost for good. Granted, hope and change don’t write health care bills or silence tea party extremists. But they do remind us of the values that are supposed to shape us and of the better America we can sometimes be. Barack Obama’s election suggested that some Americans have missed that America. His Nobel Prize suggests they aren’t the only ones. LEONARD PITTS JR., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald. E-mail him at lpitts@miamiherald.com.

Honduras and the United States: What’s wrong with this picture? BY MARK W. HENDRICKSON
A
s this is being written, Manuel Zelaya, the ousted and exiled ex-president of Honduras, is holed up in the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa, the Honduran capital, having been smuggled there on Sept. 21. His followers acted like the anticapitalist protesters who haunt G20 meetings, smashing windows, spraying graffiti, attacking police cars and suchlike. Here is how we got to this point: Zelaya was elected president of Honduras in 2005. His administration has been plagued by charges of corruption, with the impartial group, Transparency International, ranking Honduras under Zelaya as corrupt as Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Libya. In 2008, Zelaya joined the Bolivarian Alternative of the Americas, the anti-American political and economic bloc of Latin American countries led by Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, who has succeeded Fidel Castro in becoming the leading leftist autocrat in Latin America. Zelaya has received financial aid from Chavez, and has been alleged to be involved in the illicit drug trade. On March 28 of this year, Zelaya initiated steps to alter the Honduran constitution. He wanted to change the provision stipulating that presidents are limited to one term. Article 239 of that constitution explicitly states that a president who takes any steps to tamper with that provision forfeits the office. This may seem jarring to North Americans, but if one is familiar with Latin American history, which has been plagued by the caudillo syndrome (a “strong man” installing himself as leader for life), one can see why a freedom-loving people would institute such a safeguard. Venezuela’s Chavez publicly endorsed Zelaya’s bid to revise the Honduran constitution. Chavez has a long record of intervening in the domestic affairs of Latin American neighbors, granting millions of petrodollars and sending “community organizers” to perform on-the-ground legwork. He has helped install leftist allies into the presidencies of Bolivia, Ecuador and Nicaragua, and clearly had Honduras in his sights. Zelaya was warned by Honduras’ supreme court to cease stirring up mobs in support of his bid to prolong his presidency. He refused. On June 28, the court – backed by both political parties (including Zelaya’s), the congress, the Catholic Church and the business sector – removed Zelaya from
office. In a desire to avoid violent clashes with Zelaya’s allies (antiZelaya crowds of Hondurans had already begun public protests), the court asked the military to fly Zelaya to Costa Rica. The military complied. Then the constitutional successor, Roberto Micheletti, was sworn in as president. From day one, Micheletti has promised to yield to his constitutional successor, who will be elected in November. Also from day one, Chavez has worked to return Zelaya to power. On the day of Zelaya’s expulsion, Chavez immediately called on the Honduran military to mutiny, contacted Zelaya allies in Honduras to fight, and vowed to depose Micheletti. In short, Chavez
Do we want to send a message to Latin America that Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez is its future and we no longer care if our Latin American friends lose their liberty? showed himself to be an enemy of the Honduran constitution, the rule of law, and the aspirations of the Honduran people to live in freedom instead of under a strong man. And where does the Obama administration stand on this? On the day Zelaya was deposed, the White House and State Department demanded Zelaya’s return, declaring him to be the legal president. An August report by the Congressional Research Service concluded that Zelaya’s removal was entirely legal; nevertheless, in September, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton terminated U.S. aid to Honduras. She declared all those Hondurans who participated in the constitutional process to depose Zelaya to be persona non grata in the United States. Furthermore, the Obama administration vows not to recognize the winner of Honduras’ November presidential election. What’s wrong with this picture? Is it honorable for the Obama administration to break its promise not to interfere with sovereign matters? Is it consistent with American values to support a law violator, repudiate constitutional government, and subvert a country’s institutional safeguards
against would-be despots? Is it in our country’s interest to ally ourselves with Hugo Chavez, and indeed, to increase his pernicious influence by actively supporting one of his antidemocratic campaigns? Just as jihadist terrorists accelerated their aggressions against American interests before 9/11, when they concluded that we didn’t have the backbone to resist them, do we want to send a message to Latin America that Chavez is its future and we no longer care if our Latin American friends lose their liberty? We ought to be worried by the fact that Zelaya has chosen the Brazilian embassy as his base of operations, because it signals that Brazil’s president, Lula da Silva, has abandoned his prudent, pragmatic policy of not wanting to offend either Chavez to his left or the United States to his right. Lula must now feel constrained to appease Chavez’ antidemocratic ambitions, because clearly, if the United States is not willing to stand up against him, how may Brazil risk getting on the wrong side of Chavez? Does President Obama really want to drive Brazil, the largest and wealthiest South American country, closer to Venezuela? Do the American people want their government to take the side of antidemocratic bullies against the freedom-loving people of Honduras? Everything is wrong with this picture. Our Honduras policy is unconscionable. MARK W. HENDRICKSON, Ph.D. is an adjunct faculty member, economist and contributing scholar with The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College, on the Web at www.visandvals.org.

t’s time to clean house! I hope you remember that phrase when the 2010 elections come around, and I plan to continue giving you reasons why our “federal house” needs cleaning. If you are fortunate to have employment, and you pay your taxes, it is alarming how quickly Washington spends our tax money. I also hope boredom is not a problem as you read these reports of Washington’s behindclosed-door dealings, because it’s time to expose the suspect transactions. Recently, I read part of HR2996, which was passed on Sept. 24. This bill is “making appropriations (money) for the Department of the Interior, environment and related agencies for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2010, and for other purposes.” The bill didn’t sound too bad until it came to that last phrase – “and for other purposes” – uh oh, what did that mean? I clicked over to the bill itself and began reading and found a section that said: The administrator can transfer up to $475,000,000 from the environmental programs and management account to the head of any other federal department or agency (including but not limited to the Department of Agriculture, Army, Commerce, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, the Interior, State and Transportation) and it goes on to say as long the activities can show a connection that would support … blah, blah, blah. And in another spot – $1,306,541,000 –“funds under this heading (Hazardous Substance Superfund) may be allocated to other federal agencies.” I added up the monies slipped into this section, which totaled $11,233,812,000!

understand why I say Congress is spending our money so fast I can’t even keep up? Most of the time we, the average citizen, have no idea what is happening. I found something else very interesting for those of you that are Native Americans. You might be interested to know you have had $143,000,000 permanently rescinded. This statement is in the same section that allows funds to be transferred to other agencies. I suggest you check into this for the reasoning behind your cancellation of funds. The above legislation happened in the Senate. On Sept. 25 in the House of Representatives, HR2918 and HR772 both were passed and both allowed for appropriations (that magic word for money) for the Legislative Branch in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2010, and “for other purposes.” For example – the Government Printing Office shall have available for the hire or purchase of not more than 12 passenger motor vehicles. Now how is that necessary to do their printing job? Can we again say excessive spending? House and Senate – we are fed up with pork and piggy-backs. We are calling you out on how you spend your time while you are on our timeclock in Washington. Stop behind-closed-door deals. Write your own bills and have them stand on their own merit. Be honest with your time and our money. Elections are coming fast and your constituents (at least here in High Point) are getting fed up with your performance!

No quiet fadeaway for fed insurance option WASHINGTON (AP) – Fears about high costs of the health care overhaul and mistrust of insurers are rekindling interest in letting the government sell health insurance as part of the plan. The leading congressional proposal as of Wednesday – a Senate Finance bill that relies on private coverage with no new government plan – could price out some 17 million Americans. And
the insurance industry may have unwittingly helped the case for public coverage with a report over the weekend asserting the Finance bill would raise premiums for everyone. Business groups and conservatives remain steadfastly opposed to government insurance – formidable political opposition that shows no sign of weakening. So advocates are getting creative, trying to reformu-
late the “public option� in a way that can gain the 60 votes needed to clear the Senate. Instead of an all-or-nothing approach, they’re trying to provide choices. What if each state could decide whether to offer public coverage instead of having it decreed from Washington – as proposed by Sen. Tom Carper, DDel.? What if states had a menu of options, from
nonprofit co-ops to using their own employee health plans? What if public coverage were offered only as a backstop in areas where one insurer has a lock on the market? “We are all talking together, trying to find something that not everyone will love but the entire (Democratic) caucus will come to agreement on,� said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

Board pardons 2 men executed 94 years ago COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – South Carolina pardoned syndicated radio host Tom Joyner’s great-uncles Wednesday, nearly a century after they were sent to the electric chair for the 1913 murder of a Confederate Army veteran. Officials believe the two men are the first in the state to be posthumously pardoned in a capital murder case. Black landowners Thomas and Meeks Griffin were executed 94 years ago after a jury convicted them of killing 73-year-old John Lewis, a wealthy white veteran living in Blackstock, a Chester Coun-
ty town 40 miles north of Columbia. Two other black men were also put to death for the crime. “This won’t bring them back, but this will bring closure. I hope now that they rest in peace,� Joyner said. “This is a good day.� Joyner, who lives in Dallas, and his attorney made a presentation to the state parole and pardon board on Wednesday, then left the room while the board voted. Family members who flew in for the hearing included his wife and sons, of Dallas, and brother and his family, from Jackson, Miss.
Though he talks to roughly 8 million listeners on the radio daily, Joyner said facing the seven board members “scared me to death.� When he was told how they voted, he said he waved his hands and hugged family members in a flood of relief and joy. He also called in to his radio show. Joyner learned about his uncles’ fate two years ago during filming of the PBS documentary “African American Lives 2,� which traced his lineage and 11 others’ through the research of Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr.
Kids under 10 may need 2 swine flu vaccine doses THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Test results of its swine flu vaccine suggest that children under 10 may need two shots to be fully protected, vaccine maker Sanofi Pasteur said Wednesday. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the news is not surprising, since this age group needs two doses of regular seasonal flu vaccine for full immunity to develop. The new Sanofi results back up what government tests are showing, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director

of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. For younger children, the protection from one shot is “modest but not sufficient to allow for one dose to do the trick,� he said. Sanofi is the only company licensed in the United States to make vaccine for children as young as 6 months old. The company tested two strengths of
the vaccine, given as two shots 21 days apart. The vaccine was tested in 474 children ages 6 months through 9 years old. Only half of children 6 months to 3 years old had enough protection after one shot of the higher strength vaccine, as did three-fourths of children 3 to 9 years old, Sanofi reported.

Davidson board OKs land-use plan BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
Hunt, Davidson County Community College vice president of financial and administrative services. “The additional parking will add approximately 75 to 100 spaces to the north side of campus. The additional parking needs are due to higher-thanprojected enrollments. The college’s enrollment is at its highest level in history.” According to Hunt, construction will be planned to minimize disruption to students, but the college expects to complete the gravel parking lot in the late fall. “This additional parking will certainly help reduce our short-term parking issues,” Hunt said. “However, we do anticipate other parking expansions in the future.”
DAVIDSON COUNTY – Updates to Davidson County’s land-use plan were approved by the Davidson County Board of Commissioners Tuesday night. Last month, commissioners voted 6-1 to table the land-use plan until this month so staff could make corrections to it. On Tuesday, the board approved the land-use plan by a vote of 4-3. Commissioners Fred McClure, Don Truell and Larry Potts voted against the updates to the plan. According to Guy Cornman, Davidson County’s planning director, county planners and several groups have been working on updating certain sections of the plan since April 2008. Updates were made to sections of economic development, farmland, open space preservation, school facilities, how to pay for growth, and water-quality protection. “It’s there to act as a recommending guide of the physical development of our county,” Cornman said of the plan. “It’s there for the planning board and commissioners to use, but it’s also there for developers and property owners to use if they have an interest in pursuing a zoning request. It’s there for everyone.” McClure, chairman of the Davidson County Board of Commissioners, said he voted against the land-use plan because of wordage in a section to establish a joint commission with the school district “to investigate potential funding mechanisms to pay for growth.” The section would have allowed the school district the authority to impose taxes, but commissioners decided to nix that part of the section. “I voted against it because it had language in there on smart growth, which said we are going to concentrate development around the cities,” McClure said. According to Cornman, the land-use plan means the county will have to update some of its zoning ordinances. “We need some changing in (zoning ordinances),” he said. “I think some of the commissioners are interested in possibly addressing abandoned properties, so we will be looking at that. We had a lot of phone calls this year about tall grass and that kind of thing, so we will be looking at that. We will be looking at enforcement capability.”

More space DCCC gets additional parking for record enrollment BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
LEXINGTON – With Davidson County Community College having a record enrollment this fall, the Davidson County Board of Commissioners has provided some temporary relief for the community college’s parking issues. At its meeting Tuesday night, the Board of Commissioners agreed to an appropriation of $50,000 for the community college to add gravel parking lots. The board also appropriated $14,000 to upgrade water and sewer for a building that houses the Davidson County Economic Development Commission, which is located on the campus. “The board felt like the main thing was creating the parking spaces, even though they might not be paved,” County Manager Robert Hyatt said. “They would be something that the students could use and get them off the side of the road, where they have some problems right now with

With the request coming after commissioners approved a budget, the board decided to help with the college’s immediate needs, said Fred McClure, chairman of the Davidson County Board of Commissioners. “The college is pleased that the commissioners continue to support the college and our students, and recognize our need to expand parking to support our record enrollment,” said Rusty
Some displaced TFI workers may get more help ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
TRIAD – More than a dozen workers who have lost their jobs from Thomasville Furniture Industries’ Winston-Salem satellite warehouse since May 2008 may be eligible for additional assistance from N.C. Employment Security Commission, a spokesman with the agency said Wednesday. Moses Carey Jr., chairman of the ESC, recently made the announcement following notification from the U.S. Department of Labor concerning approval of a Trade Adjust-
ment Assistance petition filed by a company official. According to the ESC, the Federal Trade Act provides special benefits under the Trade Adjustment Assistance to those workers who were laid off, or had hours reduced because their employer was adversely affected by increased imports or services from other countries or, there was a shift in production/supply of services to other countries. Displaced workers may be eligible to receive benefits, such as the cost of up to three years in a
training program (tuition, books and fees), up to 156 weeks of weekly unemployment allowances (while attending training), job search and relocation allowances, and Health Coverage Tax Credit. “For a lot of them, they are able to go back to school,” ESC spokesman Larry Parker said. “They are allowed up to a large number of weeks of unemployment allowances while attending training. Not only can they be going to school, but can still be getting unemployment. They get some health coverage tax credit as well, which helps

them get health benefits while they are training.” According to the ESC, the average cost of an agency approved two-year training program in North Carolina currently is $5,000 to $6,000. Workers who are 50 and older may be eligible for the Re-employment Trade Adjustment Assistance program, which is an alternative for older workers who wish to return to employment. Those who believe they are eligible for funds should contact their nearest ESC to request benefits.

Gifts for grandchildren can be fun, practical D
ear Abby: This is in response to “Where’s the Fun in Upstate New York” (July 26), whose husband, “Hugh,” insisted they buy their grandson a $100 savings bond for his first birthday when she wanted to splurge on toys and clothes. I understand her frustration. Couples should decide together what to do, not tell the other what will be done. That said, I agree with Hugh that $100 to $150 on gifts for a 1-yearold is excessive. The child’s room will soon look like an overloaded toy store. I have seen this in our extended family. At Christmas it took 21⁄2 hours to open all the gifts. Egads! We’ve become a nation of excess, and kids expect it. Years ago, I approached the parents of our godchildren with the offer of savings bonds on holidays, which they gratefully accepted. Two of the “children” are now in college, and we’re pleased we lifted a bit of the burden of the cost they’ll face. I know it’s not a “fun” gift, especially for the little ones, so we always include a token present for “now.” I hope that couple can reach a similar agreement and not let this drive a wedge. – Sensible in Iowa Dear Sensible: The majority of those who wrote to comment on the letter from “Where’s the Fun” were – like you – as concerned about the state of the woman’s marriage as the gift issue. Read on: Dear Abby: It’s not like you to miss the warning sign of a controlling spouse. If Hugh is truly
“wonderful in every way,” then they should agree to disagree on this issue. She should ADVICE spend what she wants, Dear within Abby reason, on ■■■ gifts of her choice for their grandson’s birthday. If he feels strongly about the savings bond, which is also a wonderful gift, then they should get that, too. Because they are financially comfortable, and this is the only area of disagreement, surely Hugh can compromise. I am alarmed that he has already decided what they’ll be giving the child for every birthday. Grandparents traditionally engage in a mixture of indulgent and practical gift-giving. She was not looking to buy a wildly over-the-top gift. Hugh needs to relax and be a partner, not a dictator. And by the way, “fun” is not a dirty word. It’s Baby’s first birthday – lighten up! – Melissa in New York Dear Abby: Some spouses suffer from “economic abuse” when one partner dominates financial decisions. I agree that a baby won’t be impressed by pricey items, but this woman’s gift choices are a form of selfexpression. She should be allowed the joy of choosing presents and enjoying her grandbaby, especially since she contributes to household finances, but even if she didn’t. Sometimes these gifts become
treasured keepsakes passed through generations. – Giving My Two Cents’ Worth in Abilene Dear Abby: While the adults in my life did give me toys and material things for my birthdays and holidays, I am 26 now and I have little recollection of what they were. What I know now is that because of the generous gifts of savings bonds from those loved ones, my fiance and I were able to make a down payment on a beautiful home without being “house poor.” Those bonds allowed us to make a major step forward in our lives and be comfortable and secure. It means the world that the adults who loved me and are no longer with me are part of this house and my new life, even though they could not be at my wedding. – Sarah in Houston Dear Abby: My husband and I decided early on that we’d open a joint bank account and place half of each of our earnings into it. I opened another account in my name only for the other half. That way, if we disagreed on something – such as a gift – I could buy it myself. It has worked well. I do agree that for the child’s first birthday, Hugh’s idea is best. The child will appreciate it when he’s older. – Deborah in Marietta DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

They Mary are all Bogest good news! ■■■ Whoever said that “no news is good news”? These “good news” events all show a love of our community and all in different ways. First to the “Designs to Fight Hunger.” I think that I have been unofficially designated as the “kudo-keeper” in High Point. I try not to give out kudos indiscriminately but with careful consideration. This week, the big “kudo” is deservedly awarded to High Point architect John Anderson. This is the 13th year that Anderson’s passion has spearheaded the project, “Designs to Fight Hunger” sponsored by the Rotary Club of High Point. You may remember it as Canstruction. The “cans” are cans of food ... soups, beans, etc., etc. All food is then donated. This year the name of Canstruction was dropped because it is a trademarked name ($) and Anderson and the Rotarians wanted every dollar raised to buy food. That was Anderson’s
promise and he kept it. Let me take you on Anderson’s journey from start to finish in the creation of the sculpture comprised of canned food and an array of other sundry items. Step one. Anderson calls upon friends, Rotarians and anyone else he can think of to solicit both donations to buy the food and to solicit other groups to also build a sculpture. Shopping day fast approaches. Mark Pierce, president of the Rotary Club of High Point told me, “John has designed the entries since the program began in High Point 13 years ago. He coordinates can size, color schemes with an architectural rendering centered on a particular theme. John is the driving force behind this project and it would never happen without his dedication and creativity.” After that quote, I was anxious to see the creMARY BOGEST | HPE ation of cans for myself.

Vitamins can slow progress of dry macular degeneration
D
ear Dr. Donohue: I am turning to you for help. My mother tells me that her eye doctor says she has macular degeneration. Already she’s preparing to live in a nursing home, since she says she faces blindness. Yesterday she was driving a car, keeping house for herself and had an active social life. I can’t believe this change could happen in one day. Does it? – L.M.
BLONDIE
The more-common kind of macular degeneration, the dry kind, doesn’t usually lead to such profound loss of vision in one day. I believe your mother is drawing some premature conclusions about what she faces. The macula is a small area on the retina, the back part of the eye that turns incoming light signals into electrical signals that are sent to the brain to allow us to see. The macula is about the size of a newsprint capital O. Small as that retinal area is, it carries on one of the biggest vision jobs. It’s responsible for clear central vision, the kind needed to read, to watch TV, to recognize faces and to drive. Age is one important factor in developing macular degeneration. The condition is formally called age-related macular degeneration. Genes have a role. So does cigarette smoking. Wet macular degeneration comes about from

the sudden sprouting of fragile blood vessels in the macular area. Those HEALTH vessels leak fluid, Dr. Paul which Donohue interferes ■■■ with macular function. This kind of macular degeneration can progress rapidly. There are more ways of handling it than there are of handling the dry variety. Slow your mother down. She is acting far too prematurely. Her vision might never progress to the point where she has to give up driving and is dependent on others. A combination of high doses of vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene (a vitamin A relative), zinc and copper can slow the progress of dry macular degeneration. People shouldn’t treat themselves with this vitamin mixture. Their doctors will tell them when it is appropriate. Currently, more studies are ongoing to determine the place of folic acid, vitamins B-6 and B-12, lutein, zeaxanthin and omega-3 fatty acids in the treatment of this common eye condition. The booklet on macular degeneration answers questions on it in greater detail. To order a copy, write: Dr. Donohue – No. 701, 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: What is dementia? How does it differ from Alzheimer’s disease? – I.W. “Dementia” is an all-inclusive word, like “flowers.” It encompasses all the illnesses that feature a decline in mental functions – loss of memory, the inability to perform simple arithmetic like balancing a checkbook, misunderstanding commonly used words, exhibiting inappropriate judgment (wearing a winter coat in the middle of summer) and the loss of basic skills such as dressing and grooming. Alzheimer’s disease is one kind of dementia. So are many small strokes, and conditions with names like Lewy body disease and CreutzfeldtJakob disease. Roses, petunias, tulips are all flowers. The illnesses I mentioned, along with many others, are all examples of dementia. Each has some distinctive features. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Omission of Pearson, inclusion of younger France sparks controversy CHARLOTTE (AP) — NASCAR founder Bill France Sr. headlined the five inductees into the first Hall of Fame class, a group that drew mixed reactions to the inclusion of France’s son instead of driver David Pearson. France, who formed the National Association of Stock Car Racing in 1947, was the first inductee announced Wednesday in a ceremony that followed a lengthy voting session at the Charlotte Convention Center. Richard Petty, the seven-time Cup champion and NASCAR’s all-time wins leader, was the second inductee revealed by current NASCAR chairman Brian France, who received the five envelopes one at a time from an independent accounting firm. Next up was Bill France Jr., son of the NASCAR founder who spent nearly 30 years at the helm of America’s top motorsports series. “When I seen the two Frances was in, I knew I didn’t have a chance,” Pearson said moments after the ceremony ended. The final two nods instead went to Dale Earnhardt, NASCAR’s other seven-time champion, and Junior Johnson, a former driver and car owner whose early days of running moonshine through backroads of North Carolina stands as a symbol of NASCAR’s start.

former participants and one combined fan vote from NASCAR’s official Web site, the voters had a list of 25 nominees to consider. Petty, who was not on the panel, said he made his own list and had Pearson as his top pick. “Anybody that won 105 races and didn’t make the cut — somebody ain’t adding right,” Petty said of Pearson.
Known as the “Silver Fox,” Pearson ranked second only to Petty’s 200 victories on NASCAR’s alltime win list. The three-time Cup champion had a winning percentage of 18.2 percent in a career that spanned 27 years — but never a complete season. Had he ever run a full schedule, many believed he could have challenged Petty’s marks.

McFarland and will have another starter in senior point guard Ishmael Smith, who served as a backup to Teague last season. Smith, who shapes up as the team leader, said he can’t explain the Cleveland State loss. “I really don’t know what it was,” Smith said. “It was one of those that was so bad that you just leave it in the archive for awhile before you watch it.” McFarland said he is putting the debacle in the past, afraid of the possibility of a repeat. “The loss tore us apart because we knew we weren’t going to finish our dream,” Johnson said. “All season long, Coach Gaudio talked about the Final Four and we didn’t even make it to the final 32. It kills everyday. That’s why, at any moment, you might see guys up here in the gym. We didn’t finish and that’s going to be our big staple this year.” On Wednesday, Gaudio didn’t talk of Final Fours. He talked of winning the ACC Tournament. To do that, he must find a way to make up for the loss of 53.3 percent of the team’s scoring and 67.4 percent of its rebounding from last season.
He must do it with just Aminu (12.9 points per game) as the only double-figure scorer returning. Gaudio said Wednesday that he doesn’t expect one person to make up for the loss of Teague and Johnson, but that he does expect the Deacons to be dependent on their inside game, defense and rebounding while still playing at a fast pace. The emphasis on the inside game places more burden on Aminu, returning centers McFarland, Ty Walker, David Weaver and Tony Woods (all listed at 7-feet or 6-11) and athletic 6-7 wing player Ari Stewart, who was rated by Scout.com as the No. 8 small forward prospect in the country. The emphasis is to improve on shooting after missing 52 shots against Maryland in the conference tournament loss and struggling from the outside so much that the Deacons regularly saw zone defenses. “I don’t want any of those guys thinking they are Jeff Teague or James Johnson or Chris Paul,” Gaudio said. “We’re going to have to do it together.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519
HIT AND RUN

A
fter all the hype and buildup, no surprises emerged from Wednesday’s voting that determined the five people who will be the first class inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame next May. The monumental day resulted in the selection of the Bill Frances, elder and junior, Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Junior Johnson. NASCAR founder France the elder and seven-time champs Petty and Earnhardt were considered slam-dunks. Some clouds surrounded France the junior, not from his accomplishments considering he helped steer the sport from a southeastern favorite to the nation, but from the standpoint that voters might not put both Frances into the first class. But, after all,
it is the NASCAR Hall of Fame. The biggest question surrounded the fifth spot. Johnson was one of the front runners on the strength of his 50 victories as a driver, six championships as a car owner and playing a hand in R.J. Reynolds becoming the sport’s sponsor in the early 70’s, a development that was instrumental in the younger France expanding the sport’s appeal. In the days leading up to the voting, Petty said that he thought the first selections to the Hall should be some of the pioneers of the sport because they laid the foundation for others to build upon. Petty provides some of the link to the early days because he was at the first race for what is now the Cup Series in 1949. Johnson provides a link to some of the
sport’s connection to the hauling of moonshine in its early days and to the early drivers, having made his first start in 1953 and having scored four wins in 1955. For those who remember the early days, there must be disappointment that at least one of the early champions such as Lee Petty, Tim Flock, Buck Baker and Herb Thomas didn’t make it. Now starts the speculation on who might make it next year. More recent drivers such as David Pearson, Cale Yarborough, Bobby Allison and Darrell Waltrip will command a lot of attention as former champions with 80 or more victories. It will be a shame if at least two of the pioneers don’t get in.

– GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
Just 16 days after Stafon Johnson’s neck was crushed in a weightlifting accident, the Southern California tailback is heading home. Johnson expressed thanks and optimism with his eyes and smile at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Wednesday during his first public appearance since the accident. Johnson easily walked through the hospital and exchanged teasing gestures with friends. He also smiled at his mother, Kim Mallory, who hasn’t left his side since Johnson accidentally dropped a weight bar on his neck, crushing his throat and larynx. Tearing up along with her 21-yearold son, Mallory expressed gratitude for a worldwide outpouring of support in cards, flowers and posters – even some from UCLA fans. Johnson’s uncle, Kregg Anderson, read a message written by Johnson. “I am just so filled with joy, as if I am graduating from one stage of life and on to the next obstacles,” Anderson read.

Hamels, Kershaw get Game 1 nods
AP
Pittsburgh’s Mike Rupp (17) scores on Carolina goalie Cam Ward as the Hurricanes’ Joe Corvo looks on during the first period of Wednesday’s game in Raleigh. The Hurricanes forced a 2-2 tie before falling in the shootout.
Penguins rebound from Carolina rally RALEIGH (AP) – Chris Kunitz beat Cam Ward on the 12th shot of a shootout to help the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 on Wednesday night and continue their early-season road success. Evgeni Malkin and Michael Rupp scored goals for the Penguins, who improved to 5-0 on the road to set a franchise record for most consecutive road wins to open a season. Pittsburgh had won its first four twice before, but bested that with its fifth straight win vs. the Hurricanes. Ray Whitney scored twice for Carolina, helping the Hurricanes rally from a 2-0 deficit to force overtime.
It was the first meeting between the teams since last season’s Eastern Conference finals, which Pittsburgh swept by a combined score of 20-9 on the way to the Stanley Cup. Carolina shook up its blue line in the offseason to get bigger defensemen to match up with offensive-minded teams like Pittsburgh, only to see the Penguins again find a way to beat the Hurricanes. But in the end, it wasn’t Malkin or Sidney Crosby who made the clinching play. Instead, it was Kunitz, who had yet to find the back of the net this season before slipping the puck between Ward’s pads in the shootout for the victory. Pittsburgh seemed to have the
game in control heading into the final period. Michael Rupp had given the Penguins the early lead when he took a short pass from Malkin to set up a 2-on-1 rush, then skated in on Ward to flip the puck by him at the right post at 14:24. But Whitney answered with two quick third-period goals to erase the deficit. First, he slipped a shot underneath Marc-Andre Fleury at 4:25, then redirected a shot from Tim Gleason to tie it midway through the period and re-energize the home crowd. Fleury finished with 27 saves for the Penguins, while Ward had 36 saves – including a key stop of Malkin from between the faceoff circles less than a minute into overtime.
Bobcats’ Brown hit with $60,000 fine CHARLOTTE (AP) – Larry Brown became the first major target in the NBA’s zero-tolerance policy toward criticizing its replacement referees. The Bobcats coach was hit with $60,000 in fines on Wednesday and the Charlotte organization was fined another $60,000 after Brown’s ejection from an exhibition game. Memphis Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins was also fined $25,000 for criticism after a game Monday, as the league attempts to
protect its inexperienced officials while it locks out its regular referees in a labor dispute. Official Kevin Scott, who has worked in college and pro-am leagues, whistled Brown for two technical fouls at different times in Monday’s game in Atlanta. After the second technical, with 3:23 left in the third quarter, Brown lingered on the court instead of heading to the locker room. Scott called for security, but Brown then left on his own.
The NBA fined Brown $35,000 for verbally abusing game officials and failing to leave the court in a timely manner. He was fined another $25,000 for publicly criticizing the referees. A Bobcats spokesman said the team had no immediate comment. Brown did not speak to reporters after the game Monday, and he declined to talk specifically about his ejection on Tuesday. Brown did make general complaints about the in-
crease in the number of fouls in preseason games, which average about 7 more per game than last year’s preseason. “There wasn’t an up and back and up in the whole game that I can remember,” Brown said of Monday’s game. “That was hard.” There were 61 fouls and five technical fouls called. The Bobcats played a game against New Orleans last week that included 77 fouls and 95 free throws.
Bum Rush? Limbaugh dropped from Rams’ ownership bid ST. LOUIS (AP) – Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh has been dropped from a group seeking to buy the St. Louis Rams. Limbaugh was to be a limited partner in a bid led by St. Louis Blues chairman Dave Checketts, but Checketts said Wednesday that Limbaugh’s participation had complicated the effort. The group will move forward without him. Checketts said he will have no further comment on the bid process. Limbaugh did not immediately respond to an e-mail sent late Wednesday seeking comment on Checketts’ decision. Limbaugh said on his radio show
earlier Wednesday that he had been inundated with e-mails from listeners who supported him in the bid. “This is not about the NFL, it’s not about the St. Louis Rams, it’s not about me,” Limbaugh said. “This is about the ongoing effort by the left in this country, wherever you find them, in the media, the Democrat Party, or wherever, to destroy conservatism, to prevent the mainstreaming of anyone who is prominent as a conservative. “Therefore, this is about the future of the United States of America and what kind of country we’re going to have.” Limbaugh’s bid ran into opposi-
tion from within the image-conscious NFL on Tuesday when Colts owner Jim Irsay said he would vote against Limbaugh. Commissioner Roger Goodell said the commentator’s “divisive” comments would not be tolerated from any NFL insider. The league tries to avoid getting snared in controversial issues, which has caused Limbaugh trouble in the past. In 2003, he was forced to resign from ESPN’s Sunday night football broadcast after saying of Philadelphia’s Donovan McNabb: “I think what we’ve had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well.”
LOS ANGELES (AP) – The Phillies and Dodgers are back in the National League championship series for the second straight year, making them the closest thing the NL has to a couple of dominant teams. They are the first repeat teams since Houston and St. Louis squared off in 2004 and ’05, and only the third repeaters since Atlanta and Pittsburgh met in 1991 and ’92. “I heard Joe Torre say the beauty of it is always going back and seeing how many times you can win,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said Wednesday of his counterpart. “Believe me, we came back here to win. I have more determination probably than I had last year, and I mean that from the fact that that’s how much I want it, and I think I know how much our players want it.” A year ago, the Phillies took a 2-0 lead at home
and went on to beat the Dodgers in five games in the NLCS before defeating Tampa Bay to win the World Series. Now, they’re trying to become the first repeat World Series winners since Torre’s Yankees did so from 1998-2000. “When you repeat, you basically have to go through a tougher season to get there,” Torre said. “You’ve got a bull’seye on your back. Everyone seems to put on their Sunday best to play you. You always get the best pitchers matching up.” Clayton Kershaw will start for the Dodgers tonight against fellow lefthander Cole Hamels. At 21 years and 209 days, Kershaw will be the third-youngest Game 1 starter in postseason history, according to STATS LLC. The youngest was Fernando Valenzuela, who was 20 in the Dodgers’ 1981 division series.
Old teammates meeting in ALCS NEW YORK (AP) – Mark Teixeira and Bobby Abreu have plenty in common. Smooth swings, sharp eyes, opposite-field power. And something else now. As the Yankees and Angels prepare to meet for the American League pennant, both sluggers can easily recall what life was like in the other dugout. “That team over there, just like us, expects to win every game they play,” said Teixeira, who left Los Angeles last offseason for a freeagent contract with the Yankees. “They’re so professional. They do everything right. They’re meticulous.” And better than ever, perhaps, with Abreu in the lineup. “It’s going to be something. Very interesting,” said Abreu, who spent 21⁄2 seasons in New York. “I was there, and it gives you a lot of emotions, but
right now I represent the Angels.” After going coast to coast last winter, Teixeira and Abreu enjoyed similar success this season – albeit for disparate dollars. Several teams offered big-money deals to Teixeira, who signed with New York for $180 million over eight years. Abreu, despite a durable track record of steady production with the Phillies and Yankees, had to wait and wait just to land a job. Seeking a multiyear deal, he filed for free agency following a solid season with New York. But the economic downturn and a crowded freeagent class left the 35year-old outfielder with few attractive suitors. Right before spring training, Abreu joined the Angels on a $5 million, one-year contract that’s turned into quite a bargain. He earned an additional $1 million in performance bonuses.
Seve seeks comeback in time for British Open MADRID (AP) – Seve Ballesteros is hopeful that his health will allow him to play a round at next year’s British Open at St. Andrews. Ballesteros, who is recovering from brain cancer that has left him partially blind in his left eye, said Wednesday that he is considering an ap-
pearance at the event he won three times. “It’s still a long way before we can make any decisions,” he said. “I would like to show up at St. Andrews this coming year because St. Andrews is a very special place.” Ballesteros, 53, won at St. Andrews in 1984.

Caraway reschedules Southern Mod finale BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
ASHEBORO – George Brunnhoelzl III still must crank his car one more time to win the NASCAR Southern Modified Tour championship. NASCAR officials announced Tuesday that Caraway Speedway promoter Russell Hackett agreed to reschedule the race that was supposed to be the season finale and was rained out last Saturday night. The 150lap event is now set for Saturday, Oct. 24. Brunnhoelzl would have won his first championship if the season had ended. With a 150point lead over Andy Seuss, all he needs to do to win the title is to start. Even though Brunnhoelzl is a virtual lock to win the title, Hackett worked with officials to reschedule because other positions are up for grabs. Burt Myers is 38 points ahead of last year’s champion, Brian Loftin, in the battle for third. Frank Fleming is 33 points ahead of Jason Myers in the battle for fifth. John Smith is 51 ahead of Buddy Emory for eighth. “Mr. Hackett realizes that NASCAR championships are rare, sometimes once-in-a-lifetime events,” Tour director Sherry Clifton said. “Russell felt with so many points positions still up for grabs, it was important to give every team their final chance to do their best, and we
appreciate the Hackett family’s dedication and support of the NASCAR Tour.” Practice for the Fall Classic 150 will begin at 4:30 p.m., with qualifying at 6:30 and the green flag set to fly at 8 p.m. Caraway Speedway will also hold races for its weekly divisions that Saturday, highlighted by a 30-lap Sportsman Division race.
THIS WEEKEND The modified race isn’t the only race left on Caraway’s “regular season” schedule. The track will host one of its biggest events, its annual 250-lap late model season finale, this Sunday. The race is the main event in the “Mid-Atlantic 350” that also includes a 100-lap Late Model Super Truck race. Among the 24 drivers on the late model entry list are track champ Travis Swaim, Brad Brinkley, Tommy Lemons Jr., Randy Benson, Chuck Crump. Mack Little, Cory Strickland, Ryan Rhodes and Ryan Wilson. Robert Johnson, the son of Junior Johnson and a three-time Sportsman winner, is also on the list in what is to be his first late model attempt. Qualifying for Sunday’s race is part of a Saturday card that also includes Sportsman, Mini-Stock, Super MiniTruck, Street Stock, U-Car and Pure Stock races.
Rhodes finds mixed bag in Georgia BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
MOTORSPORTS NOTES: Harrison Rhodes suffered a weekend of mixed results at the Legend Car nationals last weekend at Lanier National Speedway in Braselton, Ga. Rhodes led all but the first lap virtually uncontested in a Race of Champions for 30 or so state champions in the Young Lions division on Friday night. The next day, he was not so fortunate in a race that determined whether Rhodes or Travis Breaden would win the Young Lions national championship. Because they entered the race with the maximum of points, the race served as the tie-breaker. Rhodes dominated the first 40 laps before a caution bunched the field and gave Braden a shot. Shortly after the restart, Braden’s teammate gave Rhodes a shot that moved him out of the groove. Rhodes lost several positions, never caught Braden and lost the championship. Rhodes wasn’t the only local driver to lose a championship on a tie-breaker. Hoyt Demis of Archdale came out on the short end to Clay Hair in the Masters Division. Daniel Hemric, who races frequently at Caraway, won the Pro division title by 30 points.
LMS POSTPONEMENT The forecast of rain and cold weather prompted postponement of the World of Outlaws late model race scheduled Wednesday at Lowe’s Motor Speedway’s dirt track to Wednesday, Nov. 4. “The weather forecast was so dismal that we felt that we made the best decision for all our fans and race teams,” said Seamus Curley, the dirt track’s general manager. “Even in the best scenario, the track surface would not be fit to race.” The race is now scheduled as the precursor to the season-ending meet for both the World of Outlaws late model and sprint car series Nov. 5-7.
HERE AND THERE Tim Allen won the Carolina Clash late model race Saturday night at Lancaster Speedway in South Carolina. Justin Labonte finished 12th. With only an Oct. 24 race at 311 Fastrack near Madison left, Jeff Smith leads Ricky Weeks by 78 points at the top of the series standings. Labonte is ninth. ... . A doubleheader consisting of a 250-lap NASCAR Late Model Stock race and a 250-lap PASS South race is slated Saturday at South Boston Speedway. NASCAR national short track champ Philip Morris heads the entries. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Jimmie Johnson celebrates his victory in last Sunday’s 500-mile race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. The victory pushed Johnson to the lead in NASCAR Cup standings.
Johnson looks for more LMS magic BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
CONCORD – As the Chase for the Championship reaches the halfway point this weekend at Lowe’s Motor Speedway, it is taking on the feel of the past three years. Jimmie Johnson is on a roll, having won two of the past three races – for a total of 16 in all Chases – and now holds the lead in the standings, sparking questions as to whether he can be stopped from winning a fourth straight championship. Johnson claims that he continues to be amazed by his playoff success. If there is a secret to how he and crew chief Chad Knaus have discovered such potency in the playoffs, Johnson isn’t telling. Instead, he credits his playoff runs to racing at tracks where he routinely wins. “I think it really boils down to the fact that the tracks in the Chase
are my strongest tracks,” Johnson said after becoming the winningest Cup driver at Auto Club Speedway. “If you look at Martinsville (where he goes for his fifth victory in six races next week), you look at all of them – Lowe’s Motor Speedway, this track – you go through them and they are tracks that we win at. “So far the last three years I’ve been very proud of the team and how we’ve been able to keep our composure with the pressure that’s come our way. There are still six more times to stub our toes. So we’ll have to stay on top of things and hopefully do what we’ve been able to do in the past once again.” The opposition can take heart that the toe-stubbing could come in Saturday night’s NASCAR Banking 500. Johnson does own five LMS wins, but all of them came in a six-race stretch from 2003-05. In his last five LMS starts, a sixth has been John-
son’s only finish better than 10th. In the races since Johnson lost his LMS magic, Kasey Kahne found enough of it to win three times in the past seven races. Kahne desperately would like for the magic to return to take away some of the sting of last Sunday’s wreck that knocked him 306 points behind Johnson and out of championship contention barring a strange turn of circumstances. “We have Charlotte and Texas and some tracks where we have ran really well in the past,” Kahne said. “So it’s pretty easy for me to get over (the wreck at California) knowing that I have these next races coming up and we still have opportunities to win. We probably don’t have an opportunity to win a (championship), but we definitely have opportunities to win, and so I’m excited about that.”

Third place can pay for Button SAO PAULO (AP) — Jenson Button can clinch his first Formula One title by playing it safe in Sunday’s Brazilian Grand Prix. With a comfortable lead in the drivers’ standings, Button only needs to avoid disaster and stay near the front to lift the trophy with one race to go in the season. A third-place finish at the 2.6-mile Interlagos track will be enough to put the title out of reach for Brawn GP teammate Rubens Barrichello and Red Bull’s Vettel, the only other drivers still in contention. Button arrives in Brazil with 85 points, 14 more than Barrichello and 16 more than Vettel. Button can secure the title even if he finishes out of the top three. A fifth-place finish will do if Barrichello fails to win.

ACC Atlantic football: Parity or parody? WINSTON-SALEM (AP) – Wake Forest has taken its turn atop the Atlantic Coast Conference’s “other” division. This year, that might not be much to brag about. The ACC’s power appears concentrated in a Coastal Division with three ranked teams, two of those in the top 10. Meanwhile, the Demon Deacons are in charge of an Atlantic Division that at best is a step behind. It’s a division devoid of star power, where teams have risen in the standings seemingly by default. Florida State, the preseason favorite and standard-bear-
ing program, is winless in the league – mired in its worst season in three decades. The trendy dark horse, N.C. State, hasn’t won an ACC game, either. Barring a flurry of upsets, the division winner figures to have two or more league losses. The quagmire raises the question: Is this a supremely balanced division or simply a collection of six average teams? “Any given week, a team can go up from the bottom or down from the top,” Wake Forest running back Josh Adams said. For now, first place belongs to the Deacons, who along with Maryland (52-13 losers to Cali-
fornia) are the Atlantic’s only teams with just one ACC loss. Bringing up the rear are FSU (0-3) and N.C. State (0-2). All six teams in the division went to bowl games last year, while this season only two teams are above .500. The silver lining: The gap between first and worst in the Atlantic appears narrow, at least compared to the Coastal, which is dominated by No. 4 Virginia Tech, No. 9 Miami, No. 19 Georgia Tech. And North Carolina, a team that spent much of the season in the polls before dropping out, is lurking in the wings. Not that the Coastal teams are
caught up in any our-divisionis-better chatter. “It just kind of happens that’s the way it is maybe this year, and there’s still a lot of football to be played,” Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said. “Who knows? That could change in a week, too. All the Atlantic teams could beat the Coastal teams this week. ... You’re dealing with 18- to 20-year-olds. No one knows what to expect one week to the next.” Still, whoever wins the Coastal Division figures to be a considerable favorite in the league title game. “You’ve got a side that’s kind
of beating each other,” Wake quarterback Riley Skinner said. Maybe, but they’ve had trouble beating anybody else lately. Atlantic teams are 0-5 against the Coastal. And while the Coastal has claimed its share of marquee wins so far, with Miami beating Oklahoma and Virginia Tech topping Nebraska, the Atlantic’s best victory might be N.C. State over Big East favorite Pittsburgh – the Wolfpack’s only win against a Bowl Subdivision team. “Just because you lose a couple games doesn’t mean you’re a bad team,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said.
UNC readies for second half BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU
CHAPEL HILL – North Carolina’s bye week couldn’t have come at a better time. The Tar Heels are halfway through their season and enter their off week sitting at 4-2 overall thanks to a 42-12 victory over Georgia Southern on Saturday. But while UNC boasts a winning record overall, it sits at the bottom of the conference with an 0-2 mark against ACC opponents. The Tar Heels have a chance to climb back into the Coastal Division title race, however, as they close out their season with six consecutive ACC games – starting with next Thursday night’s matchup against Florida State. “We’re not so much satisfied with the 4-2,” junior cornerback Kendric Burney said. “We definitely wanted to be 6-0 going into (the FSU) game, but things didn’t work out that way. But we’re still in a good position. This stretch right here is going to be as tough as it gets. We’ve got to get together, and we’ve definitely got to become a better team.” Here’s a look at the Tar Heels so far and what they face:
HOW THEY GOT HERE UNC might boast a win-
ning record through the first half of the season, but two of the wins were against Football Championship Subdivision teams and both losses were against ACC opponents. UNC started 3-0 for the first time since 1997, thanks to a blowout over The Citadel and victories over Connecticut and East Carolina, but stumbled after that. The offense failed to show up in the ACC opener at Georgia Tech and again at home the following week against a previously winless Virginia squad. UNC scored a combined 10 points in the back-to-back losses and managed just 56 yards rushing combined. The Tar Heels, however, ended the first half on a high note with another rout of an FCS team.
WHERE THEY ARE NOW The Tar Heels began the year with aspirations of an ACC title, but six weeks into the schedule, they are still looking for consistent production from their offense and a conference victory. The offense got a shot of confidence from a blowout win over Georgia Southern, but it still looked shaky at times. There is no question the offense has been hurt by a slew of injuries, but it will need to improve if the

The Eagle is about to land: North Carolina’s Johnny White prepares to plant Georgia Southern’s Ronnie Wiggins (23) into the Kenan Stadium turf on a punt return during Saturday’s game in Chapel Hill. Tar Heels hope to win any more games. The defense, on the other hand, has been impressive through the first six games, ranked No. 5 in the nation and keeping UNC in the games against Georgia Tech and Virginia when the offense struggled. The defense also seems to have solved its turnover woes, forc-
Cary farmer’s corn maze a tribute to Kay Yow CARY (AP) – A North Carolina man who’s trying to keep his family’s farm afloat during the tough economy said Wednesday he’s getting help from late women’s college basketball coach Kay Yow. Michael Phillips of Phillips Farms in Cary said he and several family members spent the summer months building an eight-acre corn maze that looks like Yow from an aerial shot. Yow was the N.C. State women’s basketball coach until she died in January after a long fight against breast cancer. Phillips said since the Sept. 4 opening, up to 2,000 people have traveled through Yow’s ear, navigated through her hair and necklace, and exited her right shoulder. The entire maze, which includes a breast cancer symbol, takes about half an hour to complete. Phillips, a 21-year-old former business major from Campbell University, said he wanted to find a way to give back to Yow and help his family’s farm. “I thought of her struggles. And really, in her struggles, she was able to look into the good of her situation and build on it.” Phillips said $1 of every admission is going to the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund. Adult tickets are $10 and tickets for children and seniors over 55 are $6. “Between all the stay-cations, you can spend a whole afternoon here and spend less than $50, and have dinner,” Phillips said. “You really can’t find that anywhere else, and you’re participating in a great cause.” Phillips said his family, which has run
‘... In her struggles, she was able to look into the good of her situation and build on it.’ Michael Phillips On Kay Yow’s inspiration for his family’s corn maze the farm for four generations, has been losing business due to another corn maze farm nearby. He said he wanted to branch out. “I really wanted to try something that’s unique and popular with everyone,” he said. “This is really what I came up with.” Phillips said his family was initially skeptical of the almost $10,000 investment. But some financial backing and planning made the project possible. Life insurance company Modern Woodmen Fraternal Financial helped back the project. The Maize, a Utah-based company that specializes in corn maze design, created a computer mock-up. “They were kinda uneasy about it,” Phillips said of his family. “But then I did some research on it. Now they’re just hoping and praying that I just keep doing like I am doing.” Phillips said Yow’s maze is scheduled to close Nov. 1, but he’s hoping the weather will permit him to extend it. Yow, who lived in Cary, led N.C. State’s women’s basketball team to more than 700 wins during a career that spanned more than three decades.

Meineke Bowl inks Big East CHARLOTTE (AP) – The Meineke Bowl has renewed its deal with the Big East that will send the conference’s third selection to the North Carolina bowl game through the 2013 season. The agreement announced Wednesday comes as bowl officials continue discussions with the Atlantic Coast Conference about extending its tie-in with the game. The bowl at Bank of America Stadium, home
of the Carolina Panthers, has pitted teams from the Big East and ACC since its inception in 2002. Last year’s game was a sellout as West Virginia beat North Carolina. This year’s Meineke Bowl is slated for Dec. 26 and will be televised by ESPN.

Company to sell Viacom, CBS shares NEW YORK (AP) — Media mogul Sumner Redstone’s holding company, National Amusements Inc., said Wednesday it is selling a portion of its stake in CBS Corp. and Viacom Inc. to pay off its debts. The move appears to alleviate concerns that National Amusements could lose control of the companies or run into trouble with its creditors, allowing it to meet a $500 million debt payment coming up later this month.
Retail slides after clunkers WASHINGTON (AP) — Retail sales declined in September by the largest amount this year as car sales plummeted following the end of the government’s popular Cash for Clunkers program. But outside of autos, sales were better than expected. The Commerce Department said Wednesday that retail sales dropped 1.5 percent last month. That’s smaller than the 2.1 percent fall economists
had expected, but still the biggest setback since sales dropped 3.2 percent in December. Car sales plunged 10.4 percent, but excluding autos, retail sales rose 0.5 percent. That’s better than the 0.2 percent increase analysts expected. Consumer demand, which accounts for 70 percent of total economic activity, is being watched closely by economists who worry that any recovery from the recession could
stall due to the strong headwinds that households still face. “The increase in sales excluding autos is still fairly modest by normal standards,” Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Economics, wrote in a research note. “Moreover, with households’ finances likely to remain constrained by falling employment, declining real incomes and tight credit, we doubt that consumption will con-
tinue to growth at such rates.” Analysts had expected increases at general merchandise stores following reports last week from the nationwide retailers that sales grew in September at stores open at least a year compared with activity in September 2008. It marked the first year-over-year rise in sales after a year of declines, according to data from the International Council of Shopping Centers and Goldman Sachs.
Duke makes deal on rate hikes
Report cites impact of W.Va. plastics CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The recession persists in West Virginia, but a new report touts the impact of its plastics industry. Marshall University’s Center for Business and Economic Research crunched the numbers for the study released Wednesday at the state Capitol. The more than 75 companies that make plastics and polymers account for 3.6 percent of the state’s gross domestic product. They employ 8,000 people directly and provide $1.19 billion in personal income along with $178 million in taxes.
Humira, nutrition sales lift Abbott NORTH CHICAGO, Ill. (AP) — Abbott Laboratories said Wednesday it beat its own expectations for the third quarter as sales of its drug Humira continued to climb, along with sales of medical products and nutritional formula for children. The North Chicago company said strong sales of Humira, an injection for rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases, made up for weaker sales of other drugs. Humira revenue climbed 24 percent to $1.49 billion, and nutritional sales grew 10 percent to $1.39 billion.
Oil continues gains against weak dollar NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices on Wednesday soared to new highs for the year because of a weak dollar and the upcoming holiday shopping season that could bring more traffic to the roads. Benchmark crude for November delivery added 78 cents to $74.93 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices jumped as high as $75.40 a barrel earlier in the day.

Shoppers are hungry for markdowns, looking for sales signs at stores, while cashing in on a tax credit for firsttime homebuyers and low mortgage rates and home prices. A late Labor Day and delayed school openings also helped retailers last month because consumers purchased some items in September that they would normally have bought in August.

A Chase bank branch is shown in New York recently. JPMorgan Chase & Co. reported a $3.59 billion profit Wednesday.
JPMorgan reports strong earnings NEW YORK (AP) — JPMorgan Chase & Co. reported strong thirdquarter earnings Wednesday as its thriving investment banking business more than offset rising loan losses that the bank warned would continue for the foreseeable future. JPMorgan, the first of the big banks to report earnings for the July-September period, reported a $3.59 billion profit but also said it roughly doubled the amount of money it set aside for failed home and credit card loans in the quarter.
The bank’s earnings cheered investors, who sent JPMorgan stock and the overall market higher. Still, the bank’s performance shouldn’t be taken as a forecast for how well other banks did during the quarter. Many financial companies don’t have such big investment banking operations, which includes trading of stocks and bonds and allowed JPMorgan to overcome its loan losses. Banks including JPMorgan have predicted for some time that their loan losses would keep ris-
ing. And in JPMorgan’s earnings statement, CEO Jamie Dimon confirmed that this trend continues. “Credit costs remain high and are expected to stay elevated for the foreseeable future in the consumer lending and card services loan portfolios,” Dimon said. In its earnings statement, the bank also described the near-term path of the economy as uncertain. The company said for the second straight quarter that there are
some signs of stabilization in delinquencies among consumer loans that are only recently past due. But Chief Financial Officer Mike Cavanagh said during a conference call with reporters that the bank “can’t at the moment be certain” that the trend will continue. JPMorgan may be able to raise its 5 cent per share quarterly dividend to as much as 25 cents if loan losses stabilize and the company’s credit costs fall, Cavanagh said.
Watchdog: Treasury, Fed failed in AIG oversight WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is “ultimately responsible” for regulators failing to rein in massive bonus payments at American International Group because he led the agencies that provided AIG’s lifelines.
That’s according to Neil Barofsky, the special inspector general for the government’s $700 billion financial bailout program. Geithner, who was president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York before tak-
ing over at Treasury, said he did not learn until March about the $1.75 billion in bonuses and other compensation promised to AIG employees. But Barofsky’s report shows officials at the New York Fed learned of
the payments in November, when Geithner was still at the bank. In testimony before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Barofsky says: “This is a failure of communication and a failure of management.”
CHARLOTTE (AP) — Duke Energy has reached agreement with North Carolina’s utility consumer advocate on how much to increase electricity rates in the state. The North Carolina Utilities Commission on Wednesday agreed to postpone a Monday hearing on the rate increase for two days to allow final details to be worked out. Duke Energy wanted an overall increase of nearly 13 percent for its nearly 2 million North Carolina customers. It would be the Charlotte power company’s first general rate increase since 1991. The commission’s Public Staff said that Duke deserved only an overall increase of about 5 percent.
FAA proposes airline fines WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Aviation Administration wants to levy multimillion dollar penalties on United Airlines and US Airways for safety violations. The FAA said Wednesday it has proposed a $5.4 million fine against US Airways for operating eight planes on a total of 1,647 flights from October 2008 to January 2009 in violation of safety directives or the company’s own maintenance rules. The agency also is proposing a $3.8 million fine against United for operating an aircraft after the carrier had violated its own maintenance procedures.
Mattel lead settlement could cost millions SAN DIEGO (AP) — Mattel Inc. and its Fisher-Price subsidiary have agreed to settle a consumer lawsuit for what could total more than $50 million over the 2007 recall of millions of toys made in China that were found to contain high levels of lead, the company said Tuesday.
The proposed class action settlement will resolve 22 suits filed against Mattel and Fisher-Price and major retailers on behalf of millions of families who purchased or received the defective toys as gifts before they were later recalled or withdrawn from market.
In the settlement, filed in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Mattel and Fisher-Price agreed to provide refunds or other reimbursement to those who purchased the Chinese-made toys, said John J. Stoia Jr. of plaintiff law firm Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Dow Jones industrial average is back above 10,000 for the first time in a year. The Dow crossed five figures Wednesday seven months after it hit a 12year low of 6,547.05 on March 9. The comeback by the stock market’s best-known indicator is the most visible sign yet that investors believe the economy is recovering from the financial crisis and recession. Cheering erupted from traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange as stocks first moved above the psychological barrier. “People feel more comfortable and feel like there’s less risk in the market when you get above a psychological point like 10,000,” said Carl Beck, a partner at Harris Financial Group. Upbeat earnings reports from chip maker Intel Corp. and banker JPMor-
gan Chase & Co. Wednesday gave the Dow its final push past 10,000. Investors are increasingly shaking off lingering doubts about the economy. However, analysts still warn that problems like rising unemployment and a weak housing market pose a threat to a solid recovery. The Dow is now up 53 percent from its March low. But it remains 29 percent below its peak of 14,164.53 hit in October 2007. The Dow rose 144.80, or 1.5 percent, to 10,015.86. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 18.83, or 1.8 percent, to 1,092.02, and the Nasdaq composite index rose 32.34, or 1.5 percent, to 2,172.23. Three stocks rose for every one that fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 431 stocks hit new 52-week highs and only two hit new lows. Volume on the NYSE came to 1.3 billion shares.

Pepsico gets backlash on iPhone campaign Spokeswoman Nicole Bradley said the application is available only to people 17 and older who “choose to opt in to the experience.” “The application was designed to entertain and appeal to Amp’s target. We’ll continue to monitor the feedback from all parties and act accordingly,” she said. The free application, released in the last week, was still available Wednesday morning. PepsiCo probably won’t
take the application down immediately, so the chatter can continue, said Kevin Dugan, director of marketing at Empower Media Marketing in Cincinnati. “I think their goal was to get noticed and, well, it looks like that strategy has paid off,” Dugan said. The application lets users select from stereotypes of women, like the “foreign exchange student” or “nerd” or “cougar.” Then it offers possible pickup lines like, “Wasn’t
I in Space Academy with you?” for the nerd. It also offers other hints, like links to world news for the foreign exchange student. For the “rebound girl” — who has just broken up with her boyfriend — it offers maps of local ice cream shops. The app then lets users add women — along with name, date of the conquest and comments — to the user’s “brag list,” which can be shared online on sites like Facebook and Twitter.
Survey says airlines face balancing act SOUTHLAKE, Texas (AP) — Airlines are challenged by weak revenue and volatile fuel prices, but many executives think keeping loyal customers happy is the best way to improve their business, according to a new survey.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — PepsiCo Inc. is facing criticism for an iPhone application that promises to help men “score” with two dozen stereotypes of women by giving users pickup lines and a scoreboard to keep track of their conquests. An apology by the company — which is using the app “Amp up before you score” to market its Amp energy drink — is igniting more online criticism. But the company is sticking by the app.

technology company Sabre said Wednesday that it surveyed 90 airlines around the world, and 86 percent said efforts to maintain and build customer loyalty were had the most positive impact on their business. In the same survey, 58 percent said merchandising and extra revenue from sources such as fees for checking baggage would help them financially.
A study released in June by consulting firm J.D. Power and Associates found that customer satisfaction with airlines had fallen this year partly because of new fees. Gordon Locke, a marketing vice president for Sabre, said airlines were trying to introduce fees to generate needed revenue without hurting their image.
“The airline that finds that magic balance will become a model for the rest of the industry,” he said. Locke said airline customers are less brandloyal and quicker to switch carriers than ever before. Sabre was the reservations-technology arm of American Airlines until it was spun off into a stand-alone company.

China’s trade slump eases in September SHANGHAI (AP) — China’s export slump eased in September as global demand showed signs of recovery and banks stepped up lending to help fuel a turnaround in the world’s No. 3 economy. Exports fell the least in nine months, dropping 15.2 percent from the year before to $115.9 billion, the customs agency said Wednesday. Imports slipped 3.5 percent to $103 billion, the smallest drop since they began falling in November of last year.
EU warns Britain, others of rising debt BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Commission warned Britain and four other EU nations Wednesday that their economies are at high risk because soaring public debt may hurt their ability to meet future needs, such as paying pensions. It told all EU nations that they could not rely on fast economic growth to reduce debt because Europe faces a problem that will “dwarf the effect of the crisis many times over” — an aging population where fewer workers will pay higher pension and health care for more retirees. This means that governments have little choice but to make budget cuts and labor market reforms that could raise potential growth, it said.
JPMorgan, Intel send world markets higher LONDON (AP) — World stocks rose Wednesday after upbeat earnings statements from bank JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Intel Corp., the world’s largest chipmaker. Signs of recovery in China and good U.S. retail sales data also helped push stocks higher. In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was up 1.7 percent at 5,241.67, while Germany’s DAX jumped 2.1 percent to 5,833.09. The CAC-40 in France was 1.6 percent higher at 3,862.63.

Debris from a mudslide covers a car outside a home in Corralitos, Calif., Wednesday, after a major storm hit the area.
California mudslide menace eases as storm weakens A dozen other homes were isolated because fallen trees and debris blocked roads. “We can’t get in, they can’t get out,” Hirsch said. A snarled commute was the storm’s biggest immediate impact in Los Angeles County, as vehicles collided on wet pavement and water pooled on some routes. The California Highway Patrol tallied 186 crashes between midnight and 6 a.m., nearly 10 times more than in the same period a
week earlier. The storm, however, lost momentum by the time it reached Southern California.

LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE, Calif. (AP) – A powerful fall storm packing strong winds and rain eased Wednesday without causing the widespread mudslides and debris flows that California residents had feared. The storm delivered its biggest punch to northern and central areas, knocking out power to nearly 700,000 utility customers from Bakersfield in the southern San Joaquin Valley to Eureka on the north coast. A mandatory evacuation order remained in effect for residents of about 40 homes in central coast mountains near Watsonville, east of Monterey Bay, due to mudslides, said Chris Hirsch, a spokeswoman for Santa Cruz County emergency services. A house in Corralitos was left surrounded by mud that buried cars up to their windows and a basketball hoop up to the net.

Jazz club to be open evenings during High Point Market BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
H
IGH POINT – High Point Market is providing the High Point Area Arts Council an opportunity to test a dream. A jazz club, Arts on Main, will be open Saturday through Wednesday evenings on the streetlevel floor of Enterprise Center at 305 N. Main St.
The building’s owners are allowing the arts council to use the first-floor space for free. The arts council rents space on the second and third floors of the building, and the first floor currently is vacant. The building’s owners at Marketplace Management, Coy Williard and Maurice Hull, are allowing the arts council to use the firstfloor space for free. Arts council leaders hope to one day buy the building and open the firstfloor space as a permanent club with music performances in various genres and a shop where art and crafts items by local people will be for sale. “We want to introduce this to High Point, so this isn’t just for market. During market it will be every night, and we hope to do it permanently eventually,” said Debbie
Lumpkins, arts council executive director. “Marketplace Management is giving us the opportunity to introduce this to High Point. We want residents, city officials, everyone to come and see what High Point could have on an ongoing basis.” The club will feature nightly performances during furniture market by regional and national jazz performers. Locally made desserts and beer, wine, sodas and coffee will be available to purchase, and proceeds benefit the arts council. Volunteers and employees will staff the club. Coincidentally, the arts council also will sponsor a salsa social on Oct. 23 in the same space. Lumpkins hopes the club – both during market and in the future – will enliven the downtown area and draw customers to downtown restaurants. Several local businesses will help in the trial run. The 5,000-square-foot space formerly was a showroom for L’Origine. The area closest to N. Main Street has a hard floor, and the area at the back of the building, where there is parking, is carpeted and divided into small spaces. Music will be performed in the front of the space, and entry is through both front and back doors. KI (Krueger International), a furniture company in High Point, is providing for free furniture for the bar and music area, and it will introduce a new line of soft furniture in the car-

Zaki Khalifa, owner of Zaki Oriental Rugs, will exhibit rugs on the walls of the area, and they also will serve as sound baffling for the music performances. Photography, paintings and stained glass pieces by local artists will be displayed on the walls, and they will be for sale. The arts council secured the necessary permits to sell alcohol, and the fire inspector has approved the space for occupancy by 250 people, Lumpkins said.

Ballet dancers often seem so otherworldly and ethereal that it’s a shock to see them looking and acting like the rest of us normal slobs. And so it was fascinating to walk into Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall before one of last week’s performances and watch American Ballet Theatre’s dancers lounging onstage in their hodgepodge warmup clothes, chatting and testing their leaps and turns. The welcome glimpse into what usually goes on behind the curtain was a function of the space’s limitations: Avery Fisher is a concert hall with no wings, normally home to the New York Philharmonic. Usually ABT holds its fall season about 10 blocks south at City Center, but this year, expected renovation work there (it didn’t happen) made the company look elsewhere. The fortuitous result – a four-day run at Avery Fisher that ended Saturday – was satisfying, and not just for those unexpected warmup sessions. The season brought three new works into view, the best of them by the Bolshoi Ballet’s Alexei Ratmansky, an artist in residence at ABT. Set to piano music by Domenico Scarlatti, “Seven Sonatas” was a simple meditation on love in the form of a frolic for three couples dressed in bright white, separating and coming together in mesmerizing ways.

Thursday, October 15, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Paige Davis, 40; Vanessa Marcil, 41; Sarah Ferguson, 50; Emeril Lagasse, 50 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: There is no more time to sit on a fence, allowing others to make decisions for you. The chance to make your life better is now and, if that means making a move or changing your circumstances, start doing so. Strength and courage are required but, once you take action, everything will improve. Your numbers are 8, 15, 17, 23, 26, 39, 44 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can make an interesting career move that will encompass your creative skills in an unusual way. Check out the opportunities in an industry that offers more benefits, higher wages and future growth potential. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t think about the things you want to do, prepare to make them happen. Your actions now will determine whether you are a leader or a follower. A short road trip or telephone calls will be required to take care of a family matter. ★★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Before you lash out at someone who isn’t living up to your expectations, consider if you are pulling your own weight. Expect opposition and a reluctance to give in to ultimatums or demands – and consider how you can turn things around. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take part in the activities going on around you or you may miss out on a very special encounter with someone you care for. Conversations will lead to something you least expect. Share your thoughts and ideas about the future. ★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t sit back if someone offers you a good deal. Take advantage of any change that will benefit you professionally or financially. You’ll regain your enthusiasm if you incorporate something new into something you are in the middle of doing. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You will lack concentration and will find it hard to finish what you start. Consider what’s really important and make whatever adjustments are required to work at top speed. Shirking your responsibilities will not help form important alliances. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your intuitive thoughts will lead you in the right direction if it has to do with a financial matter. Don’t let someone’s lack of vision or originality frustrate you; take over and complete what needs to be done. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are in the right place at the right time. A meeting with someone you respect will lead to a lasting relationship. If there are changes in social plans, don’t be afraid to go it alone. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Ulterior motives are present and must be considered when you opt to take on something that you aren’t positive you want to pursue. Protect yourself and your assets from anyone who is too aggressive. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The more informed you are, the better equipped you will be to take on a task that is heading your way. Once you establish your position, others will come to you for help and advice and to offer assistance. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your ability to accept responsibility will alter your life and help you plan for a better future. Getting rid of debt and asking for reimbursement for the things you do will all contribute. Invest in yourself. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Socialize and network but leave time for love and romance. Whether you are single or in a relationship, you can make your life better with someone who complements you. If you aren’t happy with your current situation, now is a great time to make a change. ★★★

Wendy, my club’s feminist, defines gross ignorance as 144 men in the same room. “Men are so dumb,” Wendy told me. “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but a man’s best friend is a dog. Which is the smarter sex?” In today’s deal from a penny Chicago game, Wendy was West and led the jack of diamonds against South’s contract of three hearts: three, seven, deuce. “Diamonds really are a girl’s best friend,” Wendy chirped as she continued with the ten. East overtook with the queen and cashed the ace, on which Wendy threw a spade.
MAKING THREE East next led the nine of diamonds, for want of anything better. South ruffed in dummy, drew trumps, lost to the ace of clubs and claimed. Making three. Wendy was blinded by the diamonds in her eyes and booted the defense. After her jack of diamonds wins, she can cash the ace of clubs before leading another diamond. When East takes the queen and ace, Wendy discards her deuce of clubs and ruffs the club return for the setting trick.
DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K 10 5 4 H 7 D A Q 9 7 C 6 5 4 3. Your partner opens one club, and the next player overcalls one heart. What do you say? ANSWER: In a casual game, most players would respond one spade. In an experienced expert partnership, responder would make a negative double, promising enough values to act and four cards in spades. A bid of one spade would show five or more. Discuss negative doubles with your partner before adding them to your arsenal. North dealer Neither side 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.
