LEXINGTON – A 50-ton sand sculpture being erected in Uptown Lexington could only mean one thing on Wednesday – the 27th annual Lexington Barbecue Festival is days away. “It’s by far one of the most popular attractions that we have at the festival for people to see,” Stephanie K. Saintsing, the festival’s executive director, said of the sculpture. “I think visitors especially love that they can see it transform throughout the week, sort of see it take shape and have fun guessing what it might be.” Saintsing said Californiabased Sandscapes started work on the sculpture Friday and will continue to put finishing touches on the sculpture at the festival. The festival, which is expected to attract 125,000 people, will be held in Uptown Lexington from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday. “We know that the crowds are going to be massive,” Saintsing said. “We hope certainly for a safe day and an enjoyable day with visitors being able to appreciate our Lexington-style barbecue and celebrate our famous hometown heritage.” Saintsing said the festival

Speedy’s Barbecue, Stamey’s Barbecue, Smokey Joe’s BBQ, The Barbecue Center and Jimmy’s Barbecue are the participating restaurants for this year’s festival. Sonny Conrad, owner of The Barbecue Center, said 15,000 pounds of barbecue will be served on Saturday. He said his restaurant this week is working on getting all the equipment ready and all of its
stock in for the festival. “We look forward to it, and we look forward to it leaving,” Conrad joked of the festival. “It’s a lot of work.” The Lexington Barbecue Festival was established in 1984 by Saintsing’s late mother, Kay, who died suddenly in 2002 with a heart condition. Saintsing has continued the popular festival ever since in her mother’s memory. “That’s gratifying that I can continue that in her honor, in her memory,” Saintsing said.

noon and see if the change might help us bring more people out to the parade,” said Sharon Smith, parade manager. “Last year, we had a wonderful viewing audience, but it seems that an evening parade maybe creates a little bit of a safety issue, so we’re going to try it this year and see what happens. I think the viewing audience will enjoy a Sunday afternoon parade.” Another change will involve the community tree-lighting ceremony, which has traditionally been held at the High Point Depot prior to the parade start. This year, it will take place at the
High Point Neal F. Austin Public Library immediately following the parade. The High Point Area Arts Council Children’s Chorale will sing and Santa Claus will be in attendance for photo opportunities. “There is a tree that’s going to be planted there that we’ll be able to use every year,” Smith said. “Hopefully, we will have some of our local dignitaries there also.” As in the past, the parade can accommodate up to 180 entries, and organizers expect the same type of participants this year, such as high school bands, a variety of professional floats, dance
schools and church youth groups that build their own floats. Smith said she expects all 180 spots to be filled, as they typically are for the parade, which is a production of the Guilford Merchants Association and has a primary sponsor this year of North State Communications. Organizers will start a waiting list once all 180 spots have been filled. Applications will be accepted until Nov. 5. Go to www.highpointparade.com to obtain an application.

HIGH POINT – The High Point Market ends today with some mixed reports from exhibitors, though most said they were satisfied with the orders they wrote at the event. It wasn’t about expecting phenomenal results, but about being realistic, exhibitors told The High Point Enterprise at the beginning of the furniture market. Those who kept that mindset say they got what they expected. “I really would compare it to the last (April) market,” said Meredith Younger Spell, a spokesperson for Thomasville-based Younger Furniture. “We’re about on track traffic wise. Last market, the feeling was things were becoming more positive. It’s the same this time. I wouldn’t say we were better or worse, but it’s been the same for us.”
YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.
At the High Point Market Authority’s quarterly meeting on Wednesday, two retailers also said that market was stable. “I found market to be good and consistent,” said Keith Koenig, president of City Furniture who joined the meeting through a conference phone call. “I don’t think it’s been anything other than a pleasant experience for everyone involved.” Still, other showrooms said they saw some boost in business this fall. “Business has been excellent and traffic has been consistent,” said Ed Tashjian, chief marketing officer with Home Meridian International, parent company of Pulaski. “Our biggest dealers were here last Wednesday (Oct. 13). The big accounts get here early. But our dealers are optimistic and believe the

Seven students, bus driver suffer minor injuries
Officials: Slight budget cut didn’t affect market BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – The High Point Market Authority was one of numerous entities that experienced funding cuts from the state in an economically uncertain year, but those cuts didn’t touch the success of the fall furniture market, organizers said at the High Point Market’s quarterly meeting Wednesday. The High Point Market received about $600,000 less from the North Carolina Department of Commerce this year compared to last year. To combat the loss, some cuts were made in various amenities offered to marketgoers, such as entertainment.
But focus was left on the trade show’s bus transportation system and its marketing campaigns that recruit buyers to the bi-annual event, said market authority president Brian Casey. “Our cuts are not coming from marketing, but entertainment,” he said. “That way we can get as many from around the world as possible. We’ve been able to manage those cuts without hurting the bottom line.” Tammy Nagem, market authority director of operations, said ridership on the bus system was “tremendous,” and what she calls “rescue vehicles” had to be sent out to keep up with the demand on Monday.
But market authority board members agreed that the cuts made in entertainment seemed practically unnoticeable to marketgoers. “As someone who’s talked with a lot of dealers, I don’t think there is any perception out there that we’re making cuts,” said Doug Bassett, representing VaughnBassett Furniture. Mayor Becky Smothers said at the meeting that fall elections could affect the market’s funding in the future. Because the legislature has been controlled by Democrats since the market authority was formed in the last decade, they’ve relied on those leaders to spearhead campaigns for market funding. If
ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
Republicans take control of the legislature in upcoming elections, however, the market authority may have to seek out new political figures to secure its funding. “It remains to be seen the results of the election and its impact on all of this,” Casey said. “Where you want to be is in the governor’s budget,” Smothers added, citing Gov. Bev Perdue as a strong supporter of the furniture market. Casey also said international attendance seemed stronger at the market compared to last year. Official attendance numbers will be released in the coming weeks. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

worst is behind us.” Tashjian said that youth and millennial furniture were the current biggest sellers in the industry. Some exhibitors also said they believe that the High Point Market has surpassed the Las Vegas Market when it comes to hospitality to marketgoers and
the number of major buyers that attend the event. One exhibitor said those factors may have increased traffic at the show. “I’ll say that with Vegas not being as popular as it once was, it drove some extra traffic through our store,” said Bob Vogel, a marketing representative with
La-Z-Boy. “The major accounts are here. The majority of our accounts were here by Tuesday.” The furniture market’s busiest period seemed to arrive early this year, with Tashjian and Vogel citing Friday, the day before it officially opened, as being one of their most hectic. And the short spray of rain
that fell on the city on Wednesday didn’t halt traffic either on the event, which takes place across numerous showrooms in High Point’s downtown area, they said. “Overall, it was a good market for us,” Vogel said. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617
Stepmom of missing NC girl deemed flight risk NEWTON (AP) – A judge deemed the stepmother of a missing 10-yearold girl a flight risk and raised her bond Wednesday after the woman’s grown daughter testfied that she’s carrying on an online relationship with a man in England who was sending her thousands of dollars. While the bond hearing unfolded, dozens of investigators searched a nearby North Carolina landfill for key evidence in the disappearance of Zahra Clare Baker, but police said they don’t expect to find the girl’s body there. Catawba County District Judge Robert Mullinax Jr. said there were “disturbing and unsettling allegations” in the case as he increased Elisa Baker’s bond from $40,000 to $65,000. Defense attorneys had asked him to lower bond to $10,000, which they said fits legal guidelines for her charge of obstructing justice. Investigators said Baker wrote a bogus ransom note found Oct. 9, the

visited Adam Baker in early 2008 and when she returned from Australia later that year, they were married. Adam Baker also brought Zahra to live with them. But things didn’t go as planned. First, Elisa Baker and her family moved in with the woman’s father, but he kicked her out “over bad checks,” Fairchild said. Then they moved four more times – the last time in September, when they moved to the house where Zahra’s disappearance was reported. “Has your mother ever had a stable residence,” Prosecutor Eric Ballas asked. “No,” Fairchild whispered. Baker appeared by video camera, and two of her other children were in the courtroom. Bellas said Baker has routinely missed court appearances over the last 20 years on previous charges ranging from traffic offenses to communicating threats.

day she and her husband reported Zahra missing. Police have said they think someone killed the girl who used hearing aids and a prosthetic leg because of bone cancer, but have not found her body and haven’t charged anyone with killing her. Testimony from one of Baker’s adult children, Amber Fairchild, helped convince the judge that the woman is a flight risk. Fairchild said she feared her mother after a childhood spent frequently moving houses. Fairfield said that her mother rarely worked and had been sent $10,000 over the last year by a man in England with whom she had an online relationship, despite her marriage to Zahra’s father. She said Baker told her she wanted to leave North Carolina the day before she was arrested. Elisa Baker had also met Zahra’s father, Adam Baker, online. Fairchild testified that her mother

Troopers said they hadn’t received any complaints of speeding in that area and that speed didn’t appear to have been a factor.

• Beth Sykes was 22 weeks pregnant when she came to the emergency room with pneumonia-like symptoms. Her condition rapidly worsened to the point that both Sykes and her unborn child would not survive. Thankfully both she and her baby are now healthy. “To me, HPRHS is a community hospital. Dr. (Peter) Brath is my knight in shining armor.â€? • Tommy Locke works at HPRHS with Dr. Zan Tyson often assisting him in implanting cardiac defibrillators. Little did he know that he would suffer from a very rare heart ailment and require one himself. What was interesting was that, almost every time that Locke referred to HPRHS, he spoke of his “home.â€? “I didn’t want to be transferred to a big experimental hospital where they take rare cases and no one knows what is going on. I stayed here, in my house, in my home.â€? The Heart Center at HPRHS is rated a top ten heart center in North Carolina and is setting the pace nationally. • Cameron Mott suffered from a rare brain condition which manifested with numerous daily seizures at the age of three featured on the Today Show by Dr. Nancy Snyderman. The operation that
removed half of the little girl’s brain was performed at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore but when it came to physical therapy to regain speech and motor skills they chose HPRHS. Cameron has progressed to the point where she does not need therapy. Her parents are more than appreciative to the therapists while Cameron (beautiful little girl) said, “I miss them so much I wish I was back with them but I have to go on my own sometime.â€? • Likewise Maggie Kilpatrick (also a beautiful little girl) suffered a debilitating stroke during surgery to remove a brain tumor. HPRHS physical therapists came to the rescue once again. Both girls benefited from the latest state of the art robotic hand brace, the therapeutic pool and the list goes on. After the video, President Jeff Miller told of many milestones of the past year including the opening of the Premier Medical Plaza. On the other end of the spectrum, he also added that “our charity burden has become a real problem. We live in a community which is still reeling from a recession and we at HPRHS feel it. There is no place to hide from this economy now. Miracles happen everyday at HPRHS. Last year

t was a celebration but also an evening of reflection and thanksgiving. This year’s annual Hospital Gala held recently was all of those things. High Point Regional Health System has a lot to celebrate even among the many new and continuing challenges our community- owned, community-served and community-supported hospital is facing. Reid Marsh, chairman of the board of directors of the Hospital Foundation, welcomed over 300 of the Hospital’s generous donors while elucidating the mission of the evening’s extravaganza, “Tonight is our night to thank you for sharing our goals and aspirations both in your hearts and through your financial generosity. It is also your night to celebrate the great amount of good your gifts do in our hospital for our community.� Don Cameron, chairman of the board of trustees then introduced Dr. Elliott Williams, anesthesiologist and chief of the medical staff. Dr. Williams presented a moving and intimate essay from his personal prospective which underlined the true appreciation and thanksgiving meaning of community support for HPRHS. He kept a daily journal for a week writing his inner feelings both positive and negative. I think it is only appropriate to share with you in Dr.Williams own words: “I feel inadequate because I don’t know what to say to this patient dying of cancer. “I feel angry because yet again I have to get consent for anesthesia over the phone from the director of social services because both of the parents of this 2-year-old are incarcerated. “I feel nervous because I am really worried on how I am going to get this sick elderly patient through this emergency surgery. “I feel uncertain because I don’t know how health care reform will affect my ability to manage my practice and care for my patients. “I feel concerned because a disproportionate number of epidurals that I do are for teenage mothers. “I feel disappointment because neighboring hospitals which for years we thought were our allies have decided to become our competi-

When do we develop a true interest in doing what is good for all Americans? African Americans know, all too well, the sickness of hate and terrorism. We have been believers of “greedy, grinning gods” who deceive us. How long shall we remain asleep? Vote smarter, know for whom you are voting and why. To vote a straight ticket is being uninformed, lazy and foolish. Those who want to take America back frighten me: Take us back to what? Had it not been for action taken by O. H. Leake, W. T.

Moore is best choice for City Council at large As “twenty-somethings” living and working in High Point, we want to urge voters to cast their votes for Britt Moore for City
Council at large in the upcoming election. We both consider ourselves fortunate to have grown up in High Point. We love this city and after both attending college out-of-state, it did not take us long to decide that this is where we wanted to return, to raise our own family along side our extended families. Now, as the birth of our first child approaches, we are considering what she will think of High Point as she grows up, and whether or not she will one day want to return here to live. We believe that High Point is a wonderful city, but there is always opportunity to improve on a good foundation. Moore also grew up in High Point and has seen its evolution over the past few decades as the face of our economy has changed the face of our city. He believes
in increasing job opportunities by increasing our manufacturing base and supporting small businesses that need the active help of their local governments. He wants to help HPU continue to grow and thrive. He wants to increase entertainment and recreational opportunities in the city. He wants to increase the opportunities for our citizens to be involved in their government and he will represent the entire city’s interests. Although new to politics, we believe Moore’s strong love of this city and interest in serving make him the best candidate for our City Council. To paraphrase Moore’s comment at the candidate forum on Oct. 12 – we, the voters, are the coaches. If the best player happens to be a freshman, let’s give him playing time! Please get out and vote for Britt Moore for City Council at large. DALTON & SARA BRITT GREIN High Point

Some need to rethink strategies

U
ntil the rains came Wednesday, High Point Market activity on downtown streets appeared pretty brisk. And that was a welcome sight compared to markets a couple of years ago as the nation’s economy began its downhill run. With today being the last official day of the fall 2010 market, it will be a few more weeks before the full accounting of business activity will be clear, but one thing was plainly evident this week – the physical size of the High Point Market is not what it was five years ago. And there’s documented evidence to back up that statement. The Enterprise reported last weekend, citing city government records kept in relation to a special showroom tax collected to support the market, that taxable showroom space now totals 9.8 million square feet. That is down 2.2 million square feet from the 12 million square feet of showroom space that market officials and others (including the Enterprise) have touted for years. And although those Enterprise reports last weekend put some precise city tax figures before the public, the news that market’s physical size has decreased certainly is not surprising. A walk throughout the market showroom district will reveal a number of vacant buildings that formerly were showrooms. In some cases, signs on vacant buildings alert buyers to moves to exhibit space in the market’s three largest showroom complexes. In some cases, smaller showroom structures – Hamilton Market on N. Hamilton Street, for example – contain barely a few tenants. There’s no question, market space is constricting, not expanding. Certainly, we’d all love for the opposite to be true, but the time has come for property owners in the central part of the city where showrooms predominate to think rationally about the future of their properties – and the values they place on them. An owner whose former showroom has sat vacant the past couple of markets waiting for a high dollar exhibitor to appear needs to begin considering filling that space with a business that would operate – and generate revenue – all year long. The right type of business could feed off of market (providing market visitors with services they desire) and at the same time aid in the City Project’s redevelopment plan for the core of High Point. The same can be said for owners of vacant lots or abandoned or unused buildings. The day of holding out for a high-dollar buyer to come along and build a multi-story showroom structure is gone. A key component of our suggestion for rethinking business strategy, however, is a commitment by the city to develop and fully execute plans that would encourage this type of private investment in the central part of the city. Full buy-in to this idea by the city and acceptance of reality by many property owners, so far, has not occurred. And former showroom properties and potential business sites sit vacant.

Germany’s chancellor is saying Muhammad go home
M
ulticulturalism has completely failed. That’s the assessment of Angela Merkel, chancellor of Germany, in a recent speech before the youth wing of her conservative political party, the Christian Democratic Union. The idea that disparate peoples can “simply live side by side and live happily with each other” has failed, she said. “Utterly failed.” Merkel insisted that Germany still welcomes immigrants, particularly those whose high-tech skills make them valuable workers. But she conditioned that welcome upon a warning: “We feel bound to the Christian image of humanity – that is what defines us. Those who do not accept this are in the wrong place here.” To put that another way: Muhammad, go home. Merkel’s words have yet to gain much traction on this side of the Atlantic, but they have roiled the political landscape in Germany, which – like much of Europe – is struggling to manage an influx of immigrants of Arabic origin and Islamic faith. The U.S. State Department reports that Germany is now home to 3.5 million Muslims. So there are mosques where there were not before – along with women in scarves, people with foreign accents, ghettoized poverty and a fear that some core aspect of the nation’s character, its very “Germanness,” is under assault. Last year, the head of Germany’s central bank published a book, “Germany is Destroying Itself,” arguing that the influx of Muslims was lowering the nation’s intelligence. He was censured and fired, but the book was popular and the country seemed to agree with its thesis. The Guardian newspaper of London reports that, according to one recent poll, a third of all Germans believe their country is being “overrun” by foreigners. And if Merkel’s declaration has received scant notice in the United States, that will likely change soon. Her words will surely be manna to the constellation of xenophobic bloggers and pundits for whom it is an article of faith that Muslims – and Hispanics – are agents of ruin. They would laud her contention that multiculturalism
is unworkable and undermines national character. Of course, America isn’t Germany. America’s mainstream culture is already made, and has always been made, of other cultures. So that if apple pie is quintesOPINION sentially American, well, so are burritos, borscht, Leonard sauerkraut, paella and sweet Pitts potato pie. ■■■ That said, proponents of multiculturalism should concede this much: It is not easy, being diverse. To the contrary, it’s a challenging thing. Diversity raises questions that are thorny and defiant of easy answers. From the Muslim woman whose religious sensibilities required her employer, Disneyland, to design a uniform with a head covering, to arguments over a schoolbook some American Cubans thought painted too rosy a picture of that island, from debate over whether and how to dismantle the “don’t ask, don’t tell policy” restricting gay service in the military, to arguments over how and when Espanol “es hablado” in public, managing diversity often means managing a delicate balance between accommodation and coercion, between expectation and fear, between reverence for what was, then, and sensitivity to what is, now. The only thing worse than living in a nation that seeks to achieve that balance is living in one that does not. So with due respect to Germany, it is impossible not to consider the source here. We should all be alive to the grim historical resonance of a German chancellor declaring the idea of disparate cultures living peaceably side by side a failure. What, after all, is the alternative? Shall Germany officially declare itself a nation with room enough for one culture only? For the record, that’s been tried already. And it didn’t work so well, either.

BY BRITT W. MOORE
I
am Britt W. Moore, 47, candidate for City Council at large. I was born and raised in High Point and enjoy living here now with my family – my wife, son and daughter. After college graduation I chose to come home for many reasons. It was a time of great opportunity in High Point. While this may be about my candidacy, I promise you, this election is about us. I believe we are part of something bigger than ourselves. Assume we are all together in this big sailboat. The winds are unfavorable and quite strong. Question is, how do we set our sails to get out of this storm? Proactive leadership willing to make tough and bold decisions ... now. My career began in the textile and apparel industry. This put me on the front lines of the first industry to experience the devastation we know today as outsourcing. Inflamed by terrible trade agreements, we are living with the unintended consequences of our choices. Because of space limitations, let me use bullet points to share with you my views on a few of our many challenges: • Economy: You and I know what works, we just hit the snooze button as the train left the tracks. Manufacturing is the foundation of job and wealth creation. All sectors are

important to the puzzle, but without the foundation, the puzzle fractures. We should be open to explore and pursue the “jobs of the future.â€? However, I ask you, “Are the jobs of the future paying your bills of the present?â€? With 46 states facing extreme budget shortfalls, I believe we know the answer. • Infrastructure: This is the magnet that attracts businesses. We have a terrific location to land, air, rail and sea transportation. This allows us great leverage in the development of an aerotropolis. It affords us the opportunity, with sound decisions, to benefit in this undertaking. • Education: What’s right with education? HPU. Not just the beauty of the campus, but the philosophic principals instilled in the students. It should be the model for all our schools. I encourage you to visit the campus, talk to the students, you will be impressed with what you see and learn. They demand much from their students and they deliver. We must partner with them in mutual support. They are an integral asset and a key to our future. There is plenty more to cover and I hope to have the opportunity to do so. Though not a scholar in the Bible, I do believe we reap what we sow. We have not sewn very well for many years. Together we must change that. I look forward to the opportunity to serve and respectfully ask for your vote on Nov. 2. It’s about us. God bless. BRITT W. MOORE seeks an at-large seat on City Council.

lmost a century ago, a young High Point couple, William Alexander Parham and his wife, Irah, began raising their five children: Robert, Lois, twins Azlie and Kathleen and Doris. All the siblings graduated from High Point High School, married, and had children of their own. For a while, all lived within a three-block radius of each other, and Sunday afternoons were happy family times spent with young cousins playing together. Then Robert and family moved to Maryland, Lois and family moved to Missouri and Kathleen and family moved to Virginia (although they later moved back to High Point). Thus, the Parham cousins became scattered across the country. That is, until this past weekend. You see, I married into the “Parham family� by marrying Azlie’s youngest son, Gralyn. When we first married and even after our own children were born, the Parham siblings and cousins would gather out at Doris and R.B. Sossaman’s in Jamestown nearly every summer for Brunswick stew and fellowship. Last weekend, it was the cousins who gathered once again. Thanks to cousin Mickey Furr, a plan was put into place weeks ago to gather this past weekend, and all 12 cousins minus just one who could not attend gathered last Saturday out at Aunt Doris and Uncle R.B.’s. We had not seen some cousins for nearly 20 years (many have spent the last several years caring for aging parents), and the anticipation and excitement were palpable as we all gathered. A few things were different at this family reunion, however. There were a lot more people there! After all, many of the cousins’ children have grown up and married, so there were lots of the great-great grandchildren of William Alexander and Irah (better known as Paw-Paw and Mi-Mi) running around, including my own three grandchildren. There were also some notable people missing – namely, Robert and Dot, Lois and Dean, Azlie and Odell and Kathleen. It was really wonderful to have Kathleen’s
husband, Richard, who is now 92 years old, to join us on Saturday. However, when you looked around, LESSONS it was so amazLEARNED ing how those dear parents Paula did not seem Williams to be missing ■■■after all. They were there in the faces and voices and mannerisms of so many of their children and grandchildren, and that was so very special to witness. I think Gralyn and I learned this past weekend that families are like fudge – mostly sweet with a few nuts. The stories that were told were just hilarious. Some were even knee-slapping entertaining. We also learned that, no matter how long it has been or how far away you may live, family is family. There is a bond there that is like no other, and it is one to be cherished and nurtured. After this weekend, I know it will not be another 20 years before we see these cousins again. Call it a clan, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it and whoever you are, you need one. How blessed our family is to have each other. We learned that pictures may not seem so important when taken, but years later they become invaluable. We have many black-and-white photos that Azlie took and painstakingly labeled from the 1940s and 1950s of the cousins playing on Sunday afternoons, and they were the source of much reminiscing and laughter at the reunion. I learned about a new Missouri recipe that I plan to try
soon: it is a 1-1-1 recipe for peanut butter cookies. One cup of peanut butter, one cup of sugar, one egg. Amazingly, that is all! Bake them on parchment paper at 350 degrees for about 14 minutes, and you have the best peanut butter cookies ever! (Of course, you can do 2-2-2 or 3-33.) Family reunions are great for sharing recipes. Finally, we learned that family reunions are great for making new memories. While my children remembered playing at Aunt Doris and Uncle R.B’s as young children, this weekend their own children did the same thing. When it was time to leave Saturday night, my granddaughter, Corrine, did not want to go and did so only reluctantly. She said to me, “Nana, I love family reunions. I think we need to have them more often!� Corrine, I could not agree more. It has been said that you don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you. Even though I am only a part of the Parham family by marriage, I am so proud to claim those 12 cousins as my own and to celebrate with them a rich heritage of hard work and devotion to God that was instilled in them by wonderful parents and grandparents. We felt the influence of those who have gone before us last weekend, and we can only try to carry on the family connections and pass along to our own children the importance of family. Thanks, William Alexander and Irah Parham, for the wonderful gift you gave to High Point in your five children!

Iran reports higher amount of enriched uranium TEHRAN, Iran – Iran said Wednesday it has almost doubled its stockpile of uranium that the country began enriching to higher levels earlier this year in defiance of U.N. demands to halt the program. Nuclear chief Vice President Ali Akbar Salehi said Iran now has 30 kilograms of uranium enriched to 20 percent – almost twice the amount reported in June. The 20 percent level is enough to produce fuel for a medical research reactor but far below the more than 90 percent enriched uranium required to build fissile material for nuclear warheads.
Malaria bigger killer in India than known
US soldier charged with killing troops BAGHDAD (AP) – An American soldier was charged Wednesday with killing two fellow U.S. troops and wounding a third after an argument last month in a former Iraqi insurgent stronghold turned deadly. Army Spc. Neftaly Platero was charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder in a Sept. 23 shooting in Fallujah, about 40 miles west of Baghdad. A statement issued late Wednes-
day by the U.S. military in Baghdad described the killings as premeditated but offered no other details. Earlier, a U.S. military spokesman said Platero was accused of shooting the three soldiers after a verbal altercation. The spokesman, Col. Barry Johnson, did not know what the argument was about.

California, died the day after the shooting. The name of the wounded soldier has not been released, and the statement Wednesday said the criminal investigation of the incident is ongoing. Platero, 32, from Houston, Texas, is being held in pretrial confinement in Kuwait. He will be tried by a military court. He was assigned to Camp Ramadi, in western Iraq, with the Army’s 3rd Infantry Division based out of Fort Stewart, Georgia.

BRUSSELS – A jealous schoolteacher was found guilty of murder Wednesday for sabotaging the parachute of a rival in a love triangle, causing her to crash to her death. The verdict against Els Clottemans, 26, ended a monthlong trial that revealed no hard proof that she had sabotaged Els Van Doren’s parachute so that neither it nor a safety chute opened during a Nov. 18, 2006, jump over eastern Belgium.
Egypt’s president sets parliament vote CAIRO – Egypt’s president set Nov. 28 as the date for the country’s parliamentary elections in a decree issued Wednesday. Authorities have launched a crackdown on the media and government critics in the run-up to the vote, shutting down private television channels and arresting dozens of opposition members. The country’s leading democracy advocate, Mohamed ElBaradei, has called on voters to boycott the election.

Spain says ‘adios’ to smoking in bars, cafes MADRID – Spain, famed for its smoke-filled bars, corner cafes and restaurants, set the stage Wednesday for a tough new anti-smoking law that will rid the country of its dubious status as one of Western Europe’s easiest places to light up. The bill passed by parliamentary commission calls for transforming all bars and restaurants into no-smoking zones, bringing Spain in line with the European Union’s strictest anti-smoking nations and many U.S. states that bar smoking in public places.
Karachi violence death toll rises to 52 KARACHI, Pakistan – The death toll from four days of violence sparked by a contentious local election in Pakistan’s largest city rose to 52 on Wednesday when at least one person was shot and killed despite efforts to restore order. Security forces patrolled the southern city of Karachi to prevent fresh violence and in many neighborhoods, businesses shut down while public transportation was scarce.
Afghanistan throws out nearly a quarter of ballots KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – Afghanistan has thrown out nearly a quarter of ballots cast in last month’s parliamentary elections because of fraud, but it is still far from clear whether the public will accept the results as fair. The full preliminary results from the Sept. 18 poll were released Wednesday after multiple delays as election of-
ficials struggled to weed out results from polling stations that never opened, along with bunches of ballots all cast for one candidate, or suspiciously split 5050 between two people. After last year’s fraudmarred presidential election, the government wanted to prove that it is not mired in corruption but making strides for reform.

Second murder suspect in custody BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – A second suspect in the city’s most recent homicide is in custody. John L. Davis Jr., 31, of Granby Avenue, turned himself in to police Saturday, about three weeks after he was identified as a suspect in the Sept. 24 shooting death of 18-yearold Colton Allen St. Louis at 1515 Larkin Drive. In addition to murder, he has been charged with first-degree kidnapping, possession of a firearm by a felon, robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy. St. Louis was killed in what authorities have termed an apparent drug/robbery-related incident. The suspected shooter in the case, Bobby Alander Bennett, 34, of Barbee Street, has been charged with murder, first-degree kidnapping, robbery with a dangerous weapon, conspiracy, possession of a firearm by a felon and conspiracy to traffic in marijuana, according to court records. Bennett was released from state prison in July after serving 10 years for armed robbery and drug possession. He was on supervised probation at the time of the homicide. Police said he was called in by the Violent Crimes Task Force on Aug. 10 for a violent offender notification session where state and federal prosecutors, probation and parole representatives, police officials and representatives of various community agencies meet with offenders to warn them not to run afoul of the law and offer them help with their transition back into society. The sessions include warnings that, as repeat violent offenders, they face swift prosecution if they re-offend. Authorities are backing up the warning to Bennett by obtaining indictments against him, months sooner than most cases go before the grand jury, according to High Point police Capt. Larry Casterline. The move is an indication authorities intend to fast-track the case in Superior Court. There also is a possibility he could face federal charges. “Clearly, the objective through the call-ins is to deter future acts and (Bennett) did not heed that message,” Casterline said. Bennett and Davis remained in the Guilford County Jail in High Point Wednesday without bond. Police said their investigation into the case is closed. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Thomas Built workers approve union contract BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – Hourly unionized workers at Thomas Built Buses have approved a new labor contract that will last into the middle of the decade. The UAW announced Wednesday that union members at Thomas Built Buses voted overwhelmingly in favor of a new four-year agreement covering 1,049 workers. The vote took place Oct. 16. Members of UAW Local 5287 ratified the agreement by an 80 percent margin, according to the union.
“The contract includes pay progression scale improvements, wage increases, a new vacation scale and health and safety improvements,” the union reports. The contract lasts until Oct. 10, 2014. The is the second contract between UAW Local 5287 and the company, and the union has represented hourly workers since October 2005, said Local 5287 President John Crawford. “This contract is good for workers, good for Thomas Built Buses and good for North Carolina because the improved benefits for workers will protect and help maintain stability in this
community and state,” said UAW Vice President General Holiefield, director of the UAW Heavy Truck and Engine Department. Thomas Built Buses President and Chief Executive Officer Kelley Platt confirmed that the agreement between Daimler Trucks North America, the parent company of the bus manufacturer, and the UAW has been ratified. “The company is pleased that the agreement was ratified by the employees. This agreement is fair for the company and the employees,” Platt said.
GUILFORD COUNTY – If the Guilford County Board of Commissioners approves a proposed animal breeder code on a second vote tonight, it probably won’t have a registration fee. An advisory committee could bring the change to commissioners following a unanimous vote Wednesday to drop the proposed $45 registration fee. Earlier this month, the board voted 8-3 on first reading to approve the upgraded animal control code. Approval requires a second vote during a 5:30 p.m. meeting in the Old Courthouse in Greensboro.

Commissioners may nix breeder fees BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

BREEDER CODE
----
Revisions: The county’s animal control code, which covers Greensboro and unincorporated portions of the county, has not been revised since 1995. The city of High Point operates a separate animal control agency. The new code, aimed at preventing unregulated “puppy mills,” could take effect as soon as Jan. 1. Republican Commissioner Linda Shaw pushed for the reforms following public concern in April for conditions at Rush Kennels near Pleasant Garden, where the owners faced animal cruelty charges. The 18member committee, led by Shaw, represented breeders, humane societies and
county animal control. “The county can set the fee at the cost needed, or below cost,” said County Attorney Mark Payne. “There could be a second vote on the fee after the ordinance is passed.” Several commissioners earlier argued that the fee could be considered a tax. During a three-hour session, the committee had difficulty Wednesday settling on a way to express a
portion of the code requiring breeders with seven female dogs capable of breeding to face annual inspections. The USDA has similar requirements. “We are still struggling with the definition,” said breeder Carl Ashby, representing the Carolina Kennel Club. “Breeders see an ordinance that could create grief. If it passes, they may not want to breed animals anymore.” Dog breeders or others who sell at least 50 puppies a year would be inspected once a year. Also, owners of exotic pets would be required to pay a fee. Penalties could range from educating breeders to fines and seizing dogs. “And we have to figure

this out moderately so that we can afford it,” said Republican Commissioner Billy Yow. Overall, animal breeders and owners would face civil penalties for violations. “Animal control will not be able to force its way in without a warrant,” Shaw said. Shaw said she expected the code to face many revisions. It could take a year to iron out all the details, she said. “If we pass it, we can do more work on it,” Shaw said. “This will take a long time to work out and we don’t want to rush it. It is a good ordinance.” dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Actor who played Tarzan’s Boy dies at 79 CHULA VISTA, Calif. (AP) – Johnny Sheffield, who played the character Boy in the Tarzan movies of the 1930s and ‘40s, has died at age 79. His wife, Patty Sheffield, told the Los Angeles Times that he died Friday of a heart attack at his home in the San Diego suburb of Chula Vista. She says he fell off a ladder while pruning a palm tree four hours earlier. Johnny Sheffield beat out more than 300 other
youngsters for the role of Boy in the 1939 movie “Tarzan Finds a Son!” and went on to co-star with Johnny Wiessmuller in seven more Tarzan films. He later played another jungle boy, Bomba, in a dozen movies but quit the business after the last one 1955. Johnny Sheffield went on to earn a business degree and worked for various companies and in contracting and real estate.

Disabilities no longer death sentence for pets RALEIGH (AP) – When Beverly Tucker’s dog Tobi ruptured a disc in his back, the veterinarian gave her a stark choice: expensive surgery with little chance of success, or euthanasia. Like a growing number of pet owners, Tucker opted for a third choice thanks to medical advances and shifting attitudes about animal care. She bought a wheeled cart specially fitted for Tobi’s hind legs, restoring mobility to her paralyzed pooch. “I would never have my dog put down,” Tucker said. “Our option was the wheels, and we’re going strong ever since.” Pets with disabilities ranging from spinal injuries to deafness still struggle more than healthy counterparts, but their futures are no longer as grim as before. An industry catering to owners of disabled pets has sprung up, offering everything from carts to chiropractors specializing in canine spines. Even in an economic slump, people are willing to pamper their pets. Total spending on pets has grown each year since the recession began, ris-

ists, rescue volunteers and medical supply makers all say they’ve seen a growing willingness in the American public to adopt or care for pets with ailments that once would have certainly been euthanized. Dianne Dunning, director of the Animal Welfare, Ethics and Public Policy Program at N.C. State University, said that shift has shadowed breakthroughs in veterinary medicine.

Wake asks feds to reconsider magnet school grant MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
RALEIGH – Wake County school officials are asking the U.S. Education Department to reconsider the rejection of its $10.3 million magnet school grant. In a letter dated Oct. 11, interim Superintendent Donna Hargens contends that one of the

The reviewer gave Wake a significantly lower score than two other reviewers, knocking the district out of the running the money. Wake had applied for $10.3 million over three years to help new mag-

RALEIGH – The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and MDC announced Wednesday that Raleigh and Charlotte could receive funding to get more low-income young people into post-secondary education that will help them get good jobs. Both North Carolina cities, along with two cities in Texas, have been chosen to participate in a three-year demonstration project that will be funded by the Gates Foundation. They’ve all received grant money to develop
plans for how they’ll help low-income young people. They’ll find out in April if they’ll receive up to $1.5 million to implement their ideas N.C.

Public college e-mail urges help for Democrats
AP
A conventionally constructed home begins to break apart as a fortified home stands fast during a test of home construction materials at the Institute for Business and Home Safety in Richburg, S.C., on Tuesday. Researchers are hoping a new wind facility will help them develop building techniques and products that will make homes safer in a hurricane.
Big fans put 2 houses to hurricane-force wind test shake, the end came seconds later. Reinhold said the stronger house cost about $5,000 more to build but suffered only cosmetic damage in the same winds. Reinhold said builders normally won’t use higher-end materials unless those are required by building codes or requested by homeowners. He hopes the images of one house left standing while another lay in ruins is persuasive. The giant fans simulated the wind profile of three actual storms with gusts up to 100 mph or higher. Both houses remained standing after two tests of less than 10 minutes each, so researchers opened the front door on each house and the conventional house collapsed in less than 10 minutes. “You saw how quickly it went once it started to go,� said Julie Rochman, president of the Institute for Business and Home Safety. “The bottom line question you
have to ask yourself is which house would you rather be living in?� “We want to build better going forward,� Rochman added, noting metal straps in the stronger house secured the building on its foundation — and the roof atop the walls. The conventional house in the test was built to the standard required in the Midwest. Houses in coastal areas would typically have more reinforced construction, Reinhold said. Even with its front door open and the wind buffeting all its walls and the roof, the fortified house had no structural damage, researchers said. In contrast, the conventional house suffered significant damage to its roof, siding and a window in the first two storm simulations. Even if the conventional house wasn’t completely blown away, it would have needed significant repairs, experts said.
Measure of a man doesn’t always turn on height
D
ear Abby: Regarding the letter from “Lost in the Land of Aloha� (Sept. 1) and whether short men are considered less desirable – height is relative. I am 5’3� and dated taller men, usually 6 feet and over, because those were the guys who just were around and seemed to be attracted to me. Then I met my husband. He’s 5 feet 6 inches and absolutely wonderful. Before me, he dated much taller women. He’s kind, loving, showers me with affection, offers me understanding, is a fantastic father and a complete kid-magnet. He cooks, washes dishes, does laundry, changes diapers, and actually picks things up off the floor instead of vacuuming around them. I am the luckiest woman on this planet, and I know it. Never pass up a short guy. They’re not short – they’re fun-sized! – Very, Very Happy Wife in Texas Dear Wife: I received a tsunami of responses to my question, “Does height really matter?� And it shows there’s no “shortage� of support for men like “Kal� (“Aloha’s� friend) and your honey of a husband. Read on: Dear Abby: My husband and I are both 5 feet 6 inches. In the past I was concerned that we didn’t fit the stereotype of the man being taller than the woman, but it has actually worked
out great. We can switch cars without having to adjust the seats and mirrors. ADVICE Our lips line up exDear actly when Abby we kiss. I ■■■never have to stand on my toes! On our wedding day, I wore gorgeous ballet flats. “Kal� will eventually find a woman who appreciates him for the breadth of his heart and not the length of his body. – Seeing Eye To Eye in Illinois Dear Abby: It’s all a matter of personal preference. I need to think the man I’m with will be able to protect me if need be. I don’t have that feeling with a short guy. And it doesn’t matter how muscular he is – it’s the height that counts in my mind. – Likes Looking Up At The Guy Dear Abby: You bet a man being tall makes a difference. I’m an average-sized bachelor who works around many attractive women. I get plenty of flirting and interest, but every time I meet one of my co-workers’ husbands, he’s a tall athletic stud. That’s just the way it goes. – The Short Of It in Longmont, Colo. Dear Abby: This may seem shallow, but height does matter to me. I’m a tall woman, and when I date men who are shorter than I am, I feel
even bigger. It makes me uncomfortable, which does not make for a good date. – Tall Drink Of Water in Eugene, Ore. Dear Abby: Aren’t you aware that the vast majority of females prefer taller men? “Heightism� is a rampant and virulent prejudice. Even if a guy is an inch or two taller than the woman, he will be considered too short if he isn’t taller than she is when she’s wearing heels. Women go gaga over the really tall guys. I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard them brag about how tall their man happens to be. I have never heard a female boast, “My boyfriend’s only 5 feet 6, but he really is all man.� – Roland in Maine Dear Abby: Does height matter? Not a whit! I’m a 6- foot-2-inch guy. The men who catch my eye are in the 5-foot- 7 to 5-foot-9-inch range, but I certainly don’t draw the line. Shorter guys? Bring ‘em on! (One at a time, though.) – Don in California
New NC guard chief gets general’s 2nd star RALEIGH (AP) – The top military officer of the North Carolina National Guard is getting his second star. Army Brig. Gen. Gregory Lusk was slated to be officially promoted Wednesday to the rank of major general by Gov. Beverly Perdue at a ceremony in the old Capitol building in Raleigh. Perdue announced last month that thenCol. Lusk would succeed Adjutant General William Ingram, who led the 12,000-member air and army guard in the state for nine years. State law designates the adjutant general as a major general. Lusk was previously commander of the guard’s 30th Heavy Brigade Combat Team and has served twice in Iraq. He joined the guard in 1979.

RALEIGH (AP) – More than twice the number of government-run liquor store operations in North Carolina failed to turn a profit in the past fiscal year compared to the year before. Statistics presented Wednesday to Gov. Beverly Perdue’s state government reform committee showed 24 local
boards reported operating losses for the year ending June 30, compared to nine the year before. State Alcoholic Beverage Commission Chairman Jon Williams told the panel net profits from the more than 400 stores statewide fell 11.3 percent to almost $51 million.

RICHBURG, S.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Researchers used more than 100 giant fans to create hurricane-force winds in an experiment Tuesday that crumpled an ordinary home within minutes but left a betterbuilt home standing at its side. Authorities said the experiment conducted in the cavernous Insurance Center for Building Safety illustrated the superiority of fortified building materials against materials and methods used in conventional home-building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an opportunity to create demand for better construction,â&#x20AC;? said Tim Reinhold, the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief engineer.

Giving should cost the giver
O
ne of the great ironies of giving is that we tend to find it easier in times of plenty, when the reality is that money is needed most in times of economic hardship. These past two years have been a perfect example of this phenomenon for many of our local nonprofits, and the results have ranged from GIVING 101 very severe beltPaul tightenLessard ing to, â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; in some cases, organizations actually closing. While I am a firm believer in the survival-of-the-fittest philosophy for both the profit and nonprofit sectors, I also see that the mind-set of only giving in times of plenty ultimately hurts both the giver and the receiver. As a community foundation we have made a real commitment to be there in the good and bad times. While we are always cognizant of our fiscal responsibility, we are also keenly aware that we are most needed when the conditions are the harshest. It is hard to talk about this subject and not think about the parable of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;widowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mite,â&#x20AC;? in which the impoverished widow gives what might be perceived to be an inconsequential gift, until it is revealed that the gift happened to be all that she had. This story perfectly illustrates the idea that the purest form of giving not only serves the recipient, but actually costs the giver. Certainly giving from a surplus does indeed help any cause, but giving when it hurts speaks volumes about our character and faith. I have a friend in town who has always had a very big heart, and those of you who know Ed Price will agree that this guy loves to give for all the right reasons. When he was a teenager, he cut lawns for money; however what separated Ed from the rest of us is that he would take the money he earned and use it to buy sports equipment for inner-city kids. Ed understood, even as a teenager, something we all need to understand: In the end all that we ever really keep with us is that which we gave away.

Q
uestion: While pruning my shrubs, I was stung by something I never saw. What could have done this? Answer: At this time of the year I would be very suspicious of the stinging caterpillars. These caterpillars have rather bizarre appearances. Most are quite colorful and attractive. Because of their stinging hairs some local species are known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;asps.â&#x20AC;? The spines on these caterpillars are connected to poison glands. They will produce a painful reaction when touched. Fortunately, these stinging caterpillars are not abundant. There may be only one on a plant, but I
have seen saddleback caterpillars feeding on roses this fall. The four major stinging caterpillars occurring in our area are the puss caterpillar, saddleback caterpillar, io moth caterpillar and hag caterpillar. At this time of the year, if you see these beautiful creatures, leave them be. They cause no significant injury to your plants and will be gone in a few weeks. If, however, you find yourself with a nasty sting, place scotch tape over the affected area and strip off repeatedly to remove spines. Apply ice packs to reduce the stinging sensation and follow with a paste of baking soda and water. If the victim has a history of hay 10463 N.

Poll shows likely voters ready to embrace GOP WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; All signs point to huge Republican victories in two weeks, with the GOP now leading Democrats on virtually every measure in an Associated Press-GfK poll of people likely to vote in the first major elections of Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidency. In the final survey before Election Day, likely voters say
the GOP would do a better job than Democrats on handling the economy, creating jobs and running the government. Most also think the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headed in the wrong direction. More than half disapprove of Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job performance. And even more donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the Democratic-controlled Congress. Neither party is popular. But
likely voters view the GOP a bit more positively than they do the Democrats. Slightly more say they will vote for the Republican congressional candidate in their district over the Democrat. And most think the GOP will win control of Congress from the Democrats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we get some new blood in there who will do what the
people want, maybe this can get turned around,â&#x20AC;? said Sharon Klawender, 70, who lives in rural Kingston in Michigan, one of the most economically troubled states. She hopes Republicans will â&#x20AC;&#x153;get things back under control.â&#x20AC;? Like many others, Klawender bemoans outrageous spending in Washington and dismisses

MORTON, Pa. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Police are searching for a suburban Philadelphia man who allegedly left his 2-year-old daughter behind when fleeing a store where he was caught shoplifting. Police in Morton, Delaware County say 39-yearold Andrew Surplus tried to steal five leather coats costing more than $2,000 from a department store on Saturday. Investigators say a security guard stopped Surplus as he was leaving the store, then flagged down a police officer. Police say Surplus fled on foot, leaving the girl and her stroller behind. The girl was handed over to county youth workers. Her mother tells KYW-TV that the girl was returned to her three days later after a judge granted her full custody. A warrant has been issued for Surplus on charges including retail theft and child endangerment.

girlfriend and forced her to drive to a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clinic, where she was able to slip a note to an employee who got help. She was not harmed. Holt-Reid entered the not guilty plea in Franklin County Common Pleas Court and was ordered held on $350,000

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Anita Hill is refusing to apologize for accusing then-Supreme Court justice nominee Clarence Thomas of sexually harassing her, in an issue that Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wife has reopened 19 years after his confirmation hearings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no intention of apologizing because I testified truthfully about my experience and I stand by that testimony,â&#x20AC;? Hill, now a Brandeis University professor, said in a statement released Tuesday night. Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wife, Virginia, had left a voicemail message on Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phone on Oct. 9 asking her to say she was sorry for the allegations that surfaced at Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; confirmation hearings for a seat
on the high court bench in 1991. In her statement, Hill said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I certainly thought the Hill call was inappropriate.â&#x20AC;? She had worked for Clarence Thomas in two federal government jobs before he was selected for the court by President George H.W. Bush. Virginia Thomas is a longtime conservative activist and founder of a new nonprofit group, Liberty Central, which opposes what she has characterized as the leftist â&#x20AC;&#x153;tyrannyâ&#x20AC;? of the Obama administration.

D
ear Dr. Donohue: My 15-year-old son went for surgical correction of a torn knee ligament and meniscus. The surgery was canceled due to suspicion of malignant hyperthermia. He was rushed to a children’s hospital for 24-hour monitoring. His symptoms were muscle twitching, a rise in body temperature and something to do with CK levels. All this happened within the first few minutes of administering the anesthesia and the drug succinylcholine. At the children’s hospital, his temp came down within 24 hours, so they say he might not have had malignant hyperthermia. We were told there is a muscle biopsy test for this condition that is very expensive and administered at only a few hospitals. How necessary is this? We have two other teens. Should they be tested? Does insurance cover it? If we don’t do the test, should he wear a medical bracelet stating possible MH? – L.H.

HAGAR THE HORRIBLE
Malignant hyperthermia is a genetic condition that leads to a rise in temperature, muscle rigidity and muscle disintegration when a susceptible person is exposed to anesthetic gases of the halothane family or to muscle relaxants like succinylcholine, given in many operations to facilitate the procedure. CK is creatine kinase, a muscle enzyme. A

rise in its blood level indicates muscle damage. All of this happens quickly and can be lethal. Dantrolene is the drug used to counteract
the process. The muscle test is CHCT, caffeine halothane contracture test, and it is the ultimate test for diagnosing the condition. You’re right. It is expensive and is done in only a few places. You have to contact your insurer to see if it’s covered. Since malignant hyperthermia requires only one gene from either parent, all family members have a 50 percent chance of having it. If the test isn’t done, your son and you, your husband and all your children must tell doctors, anesthesiologists and surgeons of the possibility that you all carry the gene. Alternate anesthetics can be given. Wearing an identification bracelet is a safeguard, and carrying this information in a wallet is another way to alert doctors to the possibility of malignant hyperthermia, should a family member be unable to communicate this information. The Malignant Hyperthermia Association has an excellent and informative website at www.
mhaus.org and a toll-free number, 800-986-4287. It will help you make some of these perplexing decisions. Dear Dr. Donohue: For the past year, my blood pressure has fluctuated around 112/58 to 115/60. My doctor says this is around the normal range. It seems low to me. I get lightheaded once in a while, and wonder if this is the cause. – B.W. A blood pressure of 115/75 is ideal. A first number (systolic pressure) of less than 90 or a second number (diastolic pressure) less than 60 is out of the norms. Your diastolic of 58 is so close to 60 that it should not be considered abnormal. I doubt that your lightheadedness comes from having too low a blood pressure. Do you have your own blood pressure unit? They’re not expensive. Why not get one and find out your pressure at the time you feel lightheaded? Hypertension is the exact opposite of this woman’s blood pressure. It’s one of our most common maladies. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Singler, Duke want more fun
I
f he wanted, Kyle Singler could have embarked on an NBA career this fall. Instead, the fellow who was picked as the ACC preseason player of the year on Wednesday came back to Duke University because he loves being on campus. “I just love the experience of college,” Singler said. “The people I’ve met, my teammates, learning from coach Krzyzewski. The whole idea of the college experience is having fun, getting better as a person and learning, and I’ve done that (at Duke). And, I just wanted to have a senior year.” Singler said he would have been a low firstround pick in the NBA draft. That would put in him line for a contract worth millions of dollars. The money wasn’t enough. “I weighed the pros and cons,” Singler said. “When it came to decide, I wanted to come back.” Singler was picked for the preseason honor during the ACC media day in Charlotte on the strength of being the best player and top scorer (17.7 point per game) returning from a team that produced the Blue Devils’ 18th ACC tournament championship and fourth national championship. Duke returns just one other starter, Nolan Smith, but will also feature talented incoming freshman guards Kyrie Irving and Tyler Thornton plus sophomore transfer guard Seth Curry. Frontcourt players Mason and Miles Plumlee and guard Andre Dawkins also return. Singler, who played on the perimeter last year despite being 6-8, expects to be in the paint more this season. To fit into the new role, Singler said he’s kept his weight at about 230 pounds – about 10 pounds more than at the start of last season and about what he weighed at the end of last season. “I think I’m my best at that weight,” Singler said. Aiming for another conference and national title, Singler said the Devils are taking the
“we’re are not defending anything approach.” “We’ve told the younger SPORTS guys to embrace Greer (Duke Smith won the ■■■ national championship),” Singler said. “The freshman coming in are hungry to win a national championship and the veterans are trying to win another one. We’re just trying to stay motivated.” They shouldn’t lack for motivation. The Blue Devils should be one of the favorites to win the national championship again despite losing leading scorer Jon Scheyer and center Brian Zoubek. “We don’t want to put pressure on ourselves. We’ve got to be ourselves. We have the caliber of talent to accomplish what we did last year.” For his final experience in the league, Singler is so familiar with the teams that he doesn’t fear any of them. “Since I’ve been here , if you don’t play well, any school can beat you,” he said. “There isn’t one team that scares me but I know that all of them can beat you.” The challenge of trying to win with a new combination of players was a factor in Singler wanting to take another shot at the college prize. Singler and Smith, who also averaged over 17 ppg, are the double-figure scorers returning. None of the other returners average more than five points per game. “We’re just going to have to do it in a different way,” Singler said. “It’s a different team with different players. It’s one reason I came back. I wanted to experience that. “We can be as good as we were last year. There is leadership involved in that. We might be closer as a unit. We might not be as close. It’s the job of the seniors to work on that. It might take us the whole year to get to where we were last year.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556

Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski embraces Kyle Singler in the closing moments of a 77-74 ACC Tournament victory over Miami last season. Singler was the overwhelming choice for ACC preseason player of the year, while Coach K’s Blue Devils received 61 of 62 firstplace votes in the preseason poll announced Wednesday in Charlotte.
Blue Devils runaway choice for ACC preseason No. 1 BY MICHAEL LINDSAY ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
ACC BASKETBALL PRESEASON POLL
CHARLOTTE – Duke received 61 of the 62 first-place votes Wednesday in the ACC preseason men’s basketball poll. So, who got the other vote? Rival North Carolina. “It has to be a North Carolina graduate who hates Duke,” Tar Heels head coach Roy Williams said, laughing. The Blue Devils were the overwhelming favorite atop the preseason poll, picked by media members during the ACC Operation Basketball in Charlotte. They were first with 743 points, ahead of second-place Virginia Tech with 632. “You’re accustomed to it, and we enjoy being in that,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said of the high expectations facing his team. “Our program, our fans are accustomed to having a target on their backs. I’d rather have it there than not have it there.” Senior forward Kyle Singler, last year’s Final Four Most Outstanding Player, was named the preseason player of the year, joining teammate Nolan Smith on the preseason all-conference team. Smith, a senior guard, and Singler return to the Blue Devils’ starting lineup following a 35-5 season in which they won the school’s fourth national championship. The Tar Heels (622), coming off a down year, were picked third and N.C. State (526) picked fourth. Both teams feature talented incoming classes. N.C. State’s Tracy Smith was also named to the preseason all-conference team, joined by Virginia Tech’s Mal-

F
rom his days as an NBA head coach with the Denver Nuggets, Jeff Bzdelik knows what it is like to deal with a new roster. “In the NBA you have to adapt with the players you have and that can change real quickly,” Bzdelik said on Wednesday during ACC basketball media day. “You might have the GM come in and say I’ve traded your point guard and power forward, and I’m getting you this player and this player. So what we did in the past might not work, so we’ve got to change quickly.” In his first season as head coach at Wake Forest, Bzdelik hopes that ability to adapt will pay big dividends as he faces one of the biggest challenges in the league with a roster
7 2
that features five talented freshman and includes just one returning starter, sophomore C.J. Harris, and just one other who played meaningful minutes, wing Ari Stewart. “I’ve got to take the talent I’ve inherited and find a system that puts them individually in the best position to utilize their skills while it conforms collectively to the team,” Bzdelik said. “I just can’t come in and say I want to run this. ... It’s a work in progress. “Just the other day, I saw something that might work and I tinkered with it and then I came back to my office and said that didn’t work so good because we didn’t have the mentality or skills to make it work in a team concept. We are trying to keep it simple from a defensive standpoint and going from there.”
The work in progress is such that the former Colorado and Air Force coach knows the challenge ahead. “I know how tough this league is,” Bzdelik said. “I’ve been in the NBA and Big 12. I played five ACC teams while at Air Force. We have nice young talent. I know the beast we are up against every night. All I want my players to do is play with great passion and energy in a collective way to get better every single day. I want them to be fearless and play through mistakes. And when the smoke clears we’ll see what happens.” Sounds like a coach who knows the challenges of dealing with a new roster.

This time, James Harrison sacked himself. The unhappy Steelers linebacker was excused from Wednesday’s practice after meeting with coach Mike Tomlin about the $75,000 fine Harrison incurred for a helmet hit on a Browns receiver. Tomlin felt Harrison needed time to cool off. Harrison was so upset with the fine – and the NFL’s stricter enforcement of dangerous hits – that he said he was weighing retirement, although Tomlin expects him to practice on Thursday. Harrison said in multiple radio interviews that he isn’t certain that he can keep playing the way he has been taught, now that the league not only is fining players but is threatening to suspend them for flagrant hits. He was fined $5,000 earlier this season for a hit on Titans quarterback Vince Young. Neither of the Harrison hits that drew fines was penalized.

Purdue F Hummel plans to return next season WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Purdue forward Robbie Hummel thought he did everything right after surgery to repair the torn anterior crucuate ligament in his right knee. That’s why he’s having such a difficult time understanding why the same knee gave out on Saturday, costing him the season and a chance to end his career with fellow seniors E’Twaun Moore and JaJuan Johnson. Hummel spoke to the media Wednesday for the first time since the school announced the injury. He said he landed awkwardly on the knee when he went up for a block during a drill. “I felt it pop again,” he said, “and I knew right away it was my ACL.” Hummel was second on the team with 15.7 points and 6.9 rebounds per game before he tore the ACL this past February against Minnesota. The Boilermakers were ranked No. 3 when he was hurt, then stumbled without him.

Bobcats topple Hornets Els wins the Grand Slam tourney in Bermuda 105-98 in overtime CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Charlotte Bobcats are slowly building momentum going into the regular season. The Bobcats won their third straight preseason game by rallying from a 14-point deficit and beating the New Orleans Hornets 105-98 in overtime on Wednesday. Stephen Jackson led the Bobcats with 25 points and hit two 3-pointers in the final 2 minutes of overtime. He called the victory another step in the right direction. The Bobcats are 3-4 in the preseason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for us to go out there and want to win preseason games,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only way youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get better. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only way youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get on the same page with your teammates. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only way youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go into the season with confidence.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found a way to win today. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a lot of games like that this year, where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to find a way to win. So this was a sign of us growing.â&#x20AC;? Coach Larry Brown was pleased with the defense â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Bobcats forced 25 turnovers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and with the offensive execution down the stretch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are great learning situations,â&#x20AC;? Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way I look at it, these kids are making progress. In overtime, I thought we played pretty darn good to close it out.â&#x20AC;? Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-pointer with 1:19 left in overtime gave the Bobcats the lead for good at 98-96. The Bobcats widened the lead and Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3 with 18.6 seconds left pushed the final margin to seven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a knack for taking big shots all my career, so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind taking them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; make or miss,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said.

SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ernie Els ran off three straight birdies on the back nine Wednesday and turned a threeshot deficit into a one-shot victory over David Toms in the PGA Grand Slam of Golf. Els, an alternate who was filling in for Masters champion Phil Mickelson, closed with a 2-under 69 and earned $600,000. It was his second victory in the 36-hole event for the yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four major champions. Els also won in 1997 when it was at Poipu Bay. This time, he figured he was playing for second place. Toms, another alternate who replaced British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen, chipped in for birdie on No. 12 and stretched his
lead to three shots when Els bogeyed the 13th. Els made the first of his successive birdies on the 14th at Port Royal Golf Course, but his hopes for a two-shot swing ended when Toms again chipped in, this time for par. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When a guy does it once, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Good shot.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; When he does it twice in three holes, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking maybe heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s destined to win this thing,â&#x20AC;? Els said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took a bit of the pressure off me in a way, where I freewheeled it, tried to see how close I could get to him.â&#x20AC;? The turning point came on the 15th, when Els made birdie and Toms bogeyed for a share of the lead. Els pulled ahead with his third straight birdie on the 15th,
and he holed a 10-foot par putt on the 17th to keep his one-shot advantage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Made a very big putt there,â&#x20AC;? said Els, who finished at 5-under 137. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was missing those putts. Maybe I was owed one, and that was it.â&#x20AC;? Toms shot 71 in his first appearance in the PGA Grand Slam since 2001, when he won the PGA Championship. He earned $300,000. U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell (73) and PGA champion Martin Kaymer (71) tied for third, eight shots behind, and each earned $225,000. Els was headed to the Far East for tournaments next week in Malaysia and the week after in Shanghai for the HSBC Champions.

Not so tweet for Wolfpack BY MICHAEL LINDSAY AND GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITERS
NO TWEETS CHARLOTTE – Those wanting to follow N.C. State’s players by Twitter are going to be disappointed. N.C. State coach Sidney Lowe has ordered his squad to shut down their twitter accounts. “I just think it is too much information,” Lowe said. “These guys are on TV and in the papers all the time. So, it is too much information. Besides, who wants to know if you went to eat at McDonald’s.” In the next sentence, however, Lowe implied that one reason for the ban is the wrong people, such as those associated with agents, might want to know if his players go to McDonald’s. “The way the thing is going with people wanting to form relationships with the players, if you say you go to this place quite frequently, that person might go to that place quite frequently,” Lowe said. It’s more bad that can come out of it than good.”
prone by any means,” he said. “In high school, I missed one practice and it was because of a flu shot – and I don’t know why I had to miss that one day.”
TAKING ON THE ROLE Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith now are in the position of being Duke’s senior leaders. So, coming off a national championship, what did Singler and Smith learn from seniors Jon Scheyer, Lnce Thomas and Brian Zoubek that can feed into this season? “Their leadership last year rubbed off on Kyle and me,” Smith said. “One thing that was great last year were the standards we set at the beginning of the year was having a final mentality. That rubbed off on every single player – playing like it’s your last game, practicing like it’s your last practice. When our team took that on, it made a big jump.”
A TASTE OF THE LIMELIGHT
Virginia senior forward Mike Scott has taken up a second sport for the first time. Scott, who is 6-foot-8, is participating in pickup soccer games around campus. “I got interested in soccer playing the FIFA video game,” Scott said. “I thought I could be pretty good at soccer, so I just went out and tried it one day.”
Miami got a pleasant surprise in late August when LeBron James and a few of his NBA pals, including New Orleans Hornets star and former Wake Forest standout Chris Paul, decided to stop by for a scrimmage in late August. With such visits becoming a regularity, the Hurricanes feel even more determined to play well, Malcolm Grant said. “It’s like, ‘Wow, they’re here to see us,” he said. “With guys like LeBron, Dwyane Wade and (Chris) Bosh around, it’s a little extra motivation to win.”
INJURY PRONE
SWOFFORD OUT
North Carolina junior forward Tyler Zeller has been dubbed “injury prone” during his two seasons, after missing a combined 33 games to a broken wrist and stress fracture in his foot. While Tar Heel fans might feel that way, Zeller certainly doesn’t. “For me, I don’t think I’m injury

Yanks roll, force Game 6 NEW YORK (AP) – CC Sabathia pitched like a champion, and the New York Yankees are heading for Texas. A whole lot better than heading home. Nick Swisher and Rob-
inson Cano hit consecutive homers to build an early cushion, Sabathia made the lead stand up and the Yankees avoided elimination, beating the Rangers 7-2 Wednesday and closing within 3-2
in the AL championship series. Rangers slugger Nelson Cruz made an early exit with hamstring trouble, a day after Yanks star Mark Teixeira was lost for the postseason with a hamstring injury.
49ers’ Smith gives advice to benched Panthers’ QB CHARLOTTE (AP) – Alex Smith chuckled Wednesday when asked about Carolina’s Jimmy Clausen getting benched after just three games. The San Francisco quarterback, who will face the Panthers on Sunday, knows a thing or two about being jerked in and out of the lineup as a rookie. “I kind of refer to it as scar tissue, things that stay with you” Smith said in a conference call. “You get put in that tough situation where you have to play and you’re unprepared. If you go out there and play bad in this league and go through some rough things as a young player it can absolutely cause you to carry that scar tissue with you for a while.” Smith built up some of that in his rookie season with San Francisco in 2005, when a combination of inconsistent play and injuries left first-round pick in and out of the lineup. It’s a similar situation to what’s happening now with second-round choice Clausen and the woeful Panthers (0-5). Coach John Fox benched Matt Moore after just two games for Clausen. The former Notre Dame standout then got only three games before he lost the starting job. So despite six interceptions and two lost fumbles in less than nine quarters, Moore is the starter again
Eagles’ Kolb set to start against Titans PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that Kevin Kolb will be his starting quarterback for Sunday’s game against Tennessee. It will be the third straight start for Kolb, and the fourth straight game in which he has seen extensive action, in the wake of the rib injury Michael Vick suffered in an Oct. 3 loss to Washington. Reid also said WR DeSean Jackson will not play against the Titans after suffering a concussion.
despite his 33.3 passer rating. “It didn’t help much,” Fox said of his earlier decision to start Clausen. “We’re 0-5 and we were 0-2 when we made the last switch. Right now, we’re just looking for improvement and we’re going with experience. “Matt did win four out of five games last year. He does have more experience. I think it was time to take a look back at him.” And put Clausen back on the bench. Thanks to poor protection, inconsistent and inexperienced receivers and a running game bogged down by eight-man defensive fronts, Clausen didn’t have much of a chance to succeed. He didn’t come close. Carolina averages a league-low 10.4 points a game and is last in the NFL in total offense. Clausen has three interceptions, seven fumbles and just one touchdown pass. Now, just as top receiver Steve Smith seems poised to return – he practiced Wednesday after missing a game with a sprained ankle – Clausen has been demoted. “They just said they needed to try to get some momentum,” Clausen said. “That’s why they did it the first time, going to me instead of Matt and making the switch. They said he has more experience and will have me go on the sidelines and watch a little bit.”

UNC’s Brown out for year, Burney out vs. Miami CHAPEL HILL (AP) – North Carolina cornerback Charles Brown won’t play this season amid the ongoing NCAA investigation into the football program, while cornerback Kendric Burney will miss this weekend’s game at No. 25 Miami. Brown started all 13 games last season and still has a year of eligibility remaining, though the school didn’t specify why he will sit out the season. Both he and Burney were among six players declared ineligible “for violating school and/or NCAA rules” before the opener against LSU. Neither has played this season. Burney recently completed a six-game suspension issued by the NCAA
for receiving improper benefits connected to trips, but the school says there is an “unresolved issue” for Burney connected to the probe. The NCAA launched an investigation in the summer focused on agentrelated benefits, though that probe expanded to include possible academic violations involving a tutor. The academic cases are being handled primarily by the school’s student judicial system, though privacy laws prevent the school from discussing in detail any player’s involvement in the academic review. Brown is the sixth player to miss the season connected to the investigation, joining defensive tackle Marvin Austin, defensive end
Robert Quinn, receiver Greg Little, and safeties Brian Gupton and Jonathan Smith. The NCAA declared Quinn and Little “permanently ineligible” for receiving jewelry and travel accommodations, then lying about it in three interviews. The school kicked Austin off the team after the NCAA offered preliminary information that he had received $10,000 to $13,000 in improper benefits. As with Brown, the school didn’t specify why Gupton and Smith wouldn’t play this season. In addition to Burney, the status of two other players – defensive end Michael McAdoo and fullback Devon Ramsay – remains in question.

Wells Fargo profit rises, tops forecasts NEW YORK (AP) — Wells Fargo & Co.’s income rose 19 percent in the three months ending in September as losses from failed loans continued to fall. Wells Fargo’s net income after paying preferred dividends was $3.15 billion, or 60 cents per share, ahead of the 55 cents per share analysts were expecting, the San Francisco bank reported Wednesday. The bank earned $2.64 billion, or 56 cents per share, in the same period a year earlier. Like other big banks that have reported results in recent days, Wells Fargo is seeing lower losses from loan defaults, a hopeful sign that American business-

Obama keeps pressure on China WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is continuing to keep the pressure on China to move more quickly on allowing its currency to rise in value against the dollar. A senior Treasury Department official told reporters Wednesday the currency issue would be a major topic at weekend meetings in South Korea of finance officials from the Group of 20 major economies.
Delta posts profit on global strength NEW YORK (AP) — Delta Air Lines Inc. said Wednesday it posted a profit in the third quarter and expects to repeat that in the last three months of the year, as the global travel recovery is driven by international growth. Delta, the leading U.S. carrier to Asia, made 54 percent more money from passengers on flights to and through Asia this summer than a year ago.
es and consumers are becoming more financially stable. Losses from bad loans were $4.1 billion in the third quarter, down 20 percent from the third quarter of 2009. The number of bad loans fell in almost all of Wells Fargo’s business lines: down 26 percent in commercial loans, down 39 percent in commercial real estate, and down 13 percent in credit cards. Wells Fargo is still setting aside large amounts of funds to cover future losses from loans, although less than a year ago. Wells Fargo set aside $3.45 billion for such losses in the third quarter, down from $6.11 billion last year. Wells, one of the na-
tion’s largest banks, also said it saw a 17 percent increase in new loans to businesses and consumers as mortgage applications reached the second-highest level in the bank’s history. Nonetheless, the total amount of loans on Wells Fargo’s books fell to $753.7 billion at the end of September from $766.3 billion in the previous quarter. That’s a sign that overall demand for borrowing is declining. While Wells Fargo has not halted foreclosures, rivals Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. have stopped many of their foreclosure proceedings because of evidence that thousands of documents were improperly handled.
Morgan Stanley posts loss on charges NEW YORK (AP) — Morgan Stanley became the latest investment bank to report weaker results Wednesday from a trading slowdown during the summer. The New York-based bank reported a net loss during the third quarter as revenue fell 20 percent and because of some special one-time charges. Even stripping out the charges, adjusted earnings tumbled from the year-ago period. Morgan Stanley’s CEO James Gorman said in a statement: “Our results in aggregate clearly do not reflect the true potential of Morgan Stanley’s global client franchise and I am not satisfied with our overall performance.” Thebank’ssharesreversed a morning slide and rose 23 cents to $25.62 in afternoon trading as the broader mar-
ket also rallied. Paul Zubulake, a senior analyst at Aite Group, said Morgan Stanley was up against the same problems other investment banks were facing. Economic, regulatory and political uncertainty all factored into a slowdown in trading and market activity, he said. “There’s just less risktaking going on,” Zubulake said. Morgan Stanley was hurt, like competitors Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co., as customers significantly ratcheted back on investing. Everyone from retail investors to large institutions scaled back their trading during the summer because of worries about the health of the economy and a general lack of volatility that often propels trading.

Bank stocks push market broadly higher NEW YORK (AP) – Upbeat news for banks and homebuilders pushed the stock market broadly higher Monday, extending its gains for the month. Better-than-expected results from Citigroup Inc. drove financial stocks up by more than 2 percent, halting a recent slide brought on by questions into how banks have handled foreclosures. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 81 points. Citigroup said fewer of its customers defaulted on loans, an encouraging sign that consumer’s balance sheets may be improving. Citi’s shares rose 5.6 percent, lifting shares of other banks along with it including Wells Fargo & Co. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. Bank shares fell last week as fallout spread from accusations that banks had improperly processed large amounts of foreclosures. The National Association of Home Builders reported that its housing market index, which measures builder confidence in the sales of new, single-family homes, rose by three points in October. It was the first time that the measure had risen since June, which came shortly after the end of a federal tax rebate for first-time homebuyers. This is a busy week for investors, with 113 stocks in the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index reporting earnings.

Safety issues prompt Chrysler, Volvo recalls DETROIT (AP) – Chrysler and Volvo are recalling a total of 36,000 vehicles to fix problems that could pose safety risks. Chrysler’s recall affects about 26,000 cars and pickup trucks that have power steering hoses that can develop leaks. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on its website that steering fluid hoses can separate at the crimped end and leak fluid on the engine, potentially causing a fire. Company spokesman Vince Muniga said Wednesday that Chrysler is not aware of any fires or injuries because of the problem, which was discovered by the company that supplies the hose to Chrysler. The recall affects some 2010 models of the Chrysler 300 and Sebring, the Dodge Avenger, Charger, Challenger and Journey, and some 2011 Dodge Ram pickups. Only vehicles built between June 24 and Aug. 30 are affected by the recall, and others do not have the problem, Muniga said. Chrysler will notify all owners of the affected cars and trucks sometime in October, he said. “We know which vehicles. We’ll send letters to owners letting them know that this is a voluntary safety recall and to bring them in and it’ll be replaced at no cost,” Muniga said. Owners with questions can contact Chrysler at (800) 853-1403.

The Volvo recall affects nearly 10,000 vehicles to fix front air bag systems that may not deploy in a crash. The recall includes certain S80 sedans and XC70 crossover vehicles from the 2010-2011 model year and model year 2010 V70 wagons. The automaker said there could be a problem
with a wiring connector in the air bag system that might prevent the front air bag from protecting the driver in a crash. Volvo also said the vehicles will be fixed free of charge, and the recall is expected to begin in late October. Owners may contact Volvo at (800) 458-1552.

Shakespeare Festival launches sister company in Winston-Salem BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
W
INSTON-SALEM – A group that’s part of the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival makes its debut Friday in Winston-Salem with a production of “The Foreigner.” The new company, Festival Stage of Winston-Salem, is a sister organization of the Shakespeare Festival, with its own nonprofit status and board of directors. It is led by Pedro Silva, managing director of NCShakes (a new informal title), and both groups share High Point production facilities and artistic staff. Performances will be in the Hanesbrand Theatre at the new Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts. Festival Stage is a funded partner of the Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. It received $35,000 for its inaugural year in WinstonSalem and a commitment of $30,000 for each of the next two years. The bud-

IGH POINT – High Point Community Theatre opens its season with a blood offering. Its production of “Bram Stoker’s Dracula,” opening Friday, mixes the traditional frightening themes of vampirism with campy elements, and two special nights offer versions for those more easily frightened or for those who really want to get into the action. Mike Gilbert Singletary, volunteer artistic director, combed through the Stoker novel page by page to create an adaptation as true to the book as possible, he said. By presenting an adaptation, the financially strapped group doesn’t have to pay royalties and fees for the play. In additional moneysaving efforts, Singletary is donating his time, and performances will be given on the third floor of Enterprise Center, which is rented for Community Theatre through October, rather than the High Point Theatre, where performances traditionally are given and rent must be paid.

get to produce this year’s three-play Winston-Salem season is $550,000. Each time NCShakes makes a foray into another city, people begin asking if the professional theater company is abandoning High Point. In this instance, as in the past,
the answer is, “No.” “In no way, shape or form are we leaving the community,” Silva said. “We invested a couple million dollars in Spirit Center (headquarters in High Point), and we’d never have done that if we planned to look elsewhere.”

Singletary’s adaptation falls closer to the Francis Ford Coppola/Gary Oldman version than the Bela Lugosi model, he said. “We’re doing things no adaptation has done before,” he said. “Dracula is a monster, a demon, so we’re playing with the idea that he is coming in and tearing up everyone’s lives that he touches. He is almost a disease. “But with every monster, you’ve got to make him a little bit likeable, so there are some heartbreaking moments with him. You will feel connected with him, but in a way nobody has felt connected before.” The centerpiece for the show will be backdrops and sets created by rear-projection technology loaned by the Natural Science Center in Greensboro, where Singletary is the omnisphere operator. The production generally is for age 10 and older, but in consideration of younger children or those who are easily frightened, a Not-QuiteAs-Scary Night will be Oct. 28. At the other extreme, the Oct. 30 performance will be Blood Splatter

Jon Reep, winner of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” and a native North Carolinian, performs his stand-up comedy at 8 p.m. Friday at the High Point Theatre. A native of Hickory, Reep took to the road a year after graduating from N.C. State University to pursue a career as a full-time traveling comedian. His blend of energy, cleverly crafted characters and witty writing quickly made him a hit in comedy clubs and on college campuses around the country. But Reep never forgot his roots. In fact, they’re one of his main sources of material. Describing himself as a “Metro Jethro,” Reep builds his routine out of the comedic contradictions between his small-town upbringing and his current life in Los Angeles, memories of cruising in his brother’s 1985 IROC Z-28 Camaro and the people you’ll meet at the county fair. He has had a few movie roles, nationwide exposure as the Dodge Ram “Hemi Guy” and appearances on cable stand-up shows, including the special, “Comedy Central Presents: Jon Reep.” Tickets are $30 for seats in the orchestra, $25 in the balcony, and they are available online at www.highpointtheatre.com or through the box office, 220 E. Commerce Ave., 887-3001.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
It’s nice to find effective opening leads (my topic this week), but it may not be enough. You must also be blessed with a partner who can interpret your lead. Today’s West led the seven of spades against 3NT: four, king, ace. South next led a club to dummy’s jack, and East won and hastened to return his partner’s lead: He led the jack of spades. South noted that play with approval and took three spades, four clubs and four hearts, making five.
DAILY QUESTION Good players usually have good partners, but East let his partner down. After South took the ace of spades, East could tell that West’s lead of the seven couldn’t be fourth highest from a promising suit. West had chosen a passive lead and had led a high spade to suggest a weak suit. When East takes the ace of clubs, he should shift to the ten of diamonds. The defense can take four diamonds for down one. West found a good lead. If he leads a diamond from his A-J-8-2, the defense gets only three diamonds and one club.
CROSSWORD
Thursday, October 21, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Matt Dallas, 28; Kim Kardashian, 30; Carrie Fisher, 54; Judge Judy Sheindlin, 68 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You are likely to be faced with emotional decisions. Try not to wear your heart on your sleeve. Control whatever situation you face rather than allowing others to twist things around. It’s being aware that will help you stay ahead of everyone else. Change can be good. What appears to be a hindrance will be a blessing. Your numbers are 5, 9, 14, 25, 27, 36, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Let go of relationships that are not a benefit. Moving on will allow you to befriend someone new with something to offer or share with you. Expressing confidence will help you get ahead. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take heed of what’s being said and make sure you do things by the book. Stand tall and speak your mind. Don’t be afraid to put pressure on someone you don’t feel is measuring up to your standards. It’s time to move forward. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may think opportunity is knocking but, at the same time, you can expect a tailspin that will leave you confused. Insincere gestures of friendliness are apparent. Don’t offer private information unless you don’t care if it is made public. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): There is a time and place for everything and, although you will be a little emotional, take advantage of any possibility. A romantic connection is evident and, whether it is with someone you are already involved with or someone new, the forecast is superb. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t give in to someone who is bossy or standing in the way of your personal progress. Love issues may surface due to jealousy or possessiveness. It’s time to make a decision about the future of a relationship. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take the lead position in whatever event, project or activity you are participating in and you will make new friends and get credit for your contribution. A change in your current income is apparent and is likely to come to you as a surprise, gift or bonus of some sort. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t underestimate what a partner or competitor will do in order to come out on top. Protect your assets as well as your well-being. Problems at home will result in uncertainty and confusion. Don’t show your true feelings. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take action, make changes and concentrate on your goals. Take advantage of any opportunity to network. Plan to spend some quality time with someone you love or whose company you enjoy. There is plenty you will discover. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Give some thought to the people who have supported you. You may want to do something nice to show your appreciation. A surprise will help to seal a deal. Don’t give in to someone who has disappointed you in the past. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Use your will power and you will accomplish all you set out to do. Don’t let someone burden you with something that is not your problem. Put any emotional entanglement in your life on the back burner. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t get mixed up with the wrong crowd. Get serious about something that can help you earn more money or improve your living arrangements. Stick to the rules or you’ll pay the price. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Being passionate about what you do or how you handle a situation will lead to financial freedom. Strive for perfection and present the best possible product, suggestion or service. Your enthusiasm will inspire those around you. ★★★

Series includes three plays FROM PAGE 1D
plays to appeal to a wide demographic and to showcase a professional theater company with actors who are members of Actorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Equity Association. Festival Stage is not a classical company, as is NCShakes, and the initial season is composed of contemporary plays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Foreigner,â&#x20AC;? a multiple award-winning comedy by Larry Shue, tells the story of a visiting Englishman who becomes involved in a mysterious plot in a small town in Georgia. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a proven crowdpleaser, Silva said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lunch at the Piccadilly,â&#x20AC;? scheduled for February, is a new musical comedy based on the best-selling novel by Clyde Edgerton, a North Carolina author with a
national reputation. It includes 25 new songs by Mike Craver that range from bluegrass to Broadway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Piccadillyâ&#x20AC;? follows the antics of three women in a nursing home, and it was chosen partially to appeal to older adults especially, and a broader audience in general. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to reforest the national scene, and I think â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Piccadillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; will be discovered by others and have a successful future,â&#x20AC;? Silva said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Glass Menagerieâ&#x20AC;? by Tennessee Williams, to be performed in May, is an example of classical American theater that is essential to a basic education in drama. It also will be performed in Winston-Salem as SchoolFest productions
for students. The Hanesbrand Theatre is a black-box style space with flexible seating that can accommodate approximately 250, and plays with a small cast were selected to fit the space. Silvaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope is for the expansion into WinstonSalem to also benefit High Point operations. He is chomping at the bit, he said, to return to a multiple-play main season here, and he plans to introduce High Point family theater events in 2011 and to further develop outreach activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything we can do to strengthen ourselves will be good toward developing the home community,â&#x20AC;? he said. vknopfler@hpe.com / 888-3601
