Old Winston widening under way BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Workers have started clearing the way for a construction project involving a north High Point roadway. City officials anticipate starting the bid-advertising process soon for a project that will entail widening a stretch of Old Winston Road between Oakview Road and Hartley Drive. The city is nearly finished with easement and rightof-way acquisition in the area, and crews have started preliminary work related to the project. “Old Winston will be widened

The trees are being removed for the road widening project. with curb and gutter on both sides to eliminate side ditches and maintenance issues we’ve got with that. It will have a center turn lane and right-turn lanes at critical intersections,” said Keith Pugh, High Point’s engineering services director. “It will also have sidewalks the entire length of the project.” Crews also will relocate a portion of the road to align it with Bellevue Drive near the new fire station. The project is expected to take about 18 months to complete. Another portion of Old Winston Road will be widened in a separate project in the future. About

$6.4 million has been approved for the work. The project is one of several being funded with bond money that voters approved in a 2004 referendum. The project will involve a lot of utility work, with the relocation of power lines and the replacement of a water line that runs the length of Old Winston Road, Pugh said. The work comes on the heels of another transportation project in the area that is close to being finished – improvements to a stretch of Oakview Road between Old Winston Road and N. Centennial Street. Sidewalks, curb and gutter, and turn lanes at

critical intersections are being installed along a 1.56-mile portion of Oakview Road. “Once they relocate those utilities, they’ll consolidate them as much as they can, similar to what they did on Oakview Road,” Pugh said. “We will still have overhead wires, but there won’t be as many of them.” Construction crews will try to maintain as much of the existing roadway as possible during the work, but there could be some temporary closures of part of the road during the project, he added. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Wheatmore High School gets interim leader BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

RANDOLPH COUNTY – Just two days after the sudden retirement of Wheatmore High School Principal Daryl Barnes, Randolph County’s newest high school now has an interim principal. On Wednesday, the school system announced Eric Johnson, Wheatmore’s assistant principal, will replace Barnes, who had more than 30 years of experience in education. Randolph County Schools will not be immediately advertising and filling the vacancy because the system will be evaluating the school’s “interim situation,” said Cathy Brady, the system’s assistant superintendent of human resources. “After consulting with (Superintendent Donald) Andrews and the other assistant principal, we felt like this would provide the smoothest transition for our students to continue their education

The students are coming and doing the right things.” Barnes said Monday he decided to retire for several reasons, including the fact that he was due to be president of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association Board of Directors. The retirement of Barnes, vice president of the NCHSAA Board of Directors, allows the athletic

association to have appropriate time to find a new president because the board’s guidelines state retired school personnel can no longer serve on the board. Meanwhile, Johnson started his career with Randolph County Schools at Randleman High School as a furniture and cabinet making teacher in August 2002.

Letters spark outrage. 1A BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRINITY – A candidate for Trinity City Council says he has hired a High Point attorney to begin the process of filing a civil lawsuit against anyone affiliated with circulating anonymous letters that accuse him of child molestation and the authorities of covering it up. Mike Robertson, owner of New Hope Christian Academy Inc., said he believes the allegations are not coming from other candidates, but are strictly personal attacks affiliated from a trial involving the molestation that convicted 19-year-old Gerald Carter II of two counts of indecent liberties with Robertson’s now 6-year-old granddaughter.

Mike Robertson Trinity City Council candidate Carter, of Archdale, was sentenced to 36 months in prison by Randolph County Superior Court Judge V. Bradford Long in August. Efforts to contact family members of Carter were unsuccessful Wednesday night. One of two letters received by The High Point Enterprise, which claim to be from Concerned Citizens of Randolph County, makes reference to the trial and states that members of the group attended the proceedings. “It’s an attempt to assassinate my character,” Robertson said, noting

his suit will claim defamation, libel and slander. “They are trying to ruin me ... The political campaign is the least of my worries. I worry about my reputation as an educator. I worry about the school being able to continue because if people say, ‘There is a child molester at that school, we can’t send our children there.’ That could shut us down.” The letters allege Robertson molested his granddaughters and students at New Hope Christian Academy, allegations that Robertson says are “absolutely false.” The letters also claim Robertson has bribed state officials to cover up the allegations, which he also denies. Authorities in Randolph County, Archdale and Thomasville also have publicly denounced the letter.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A Davidson County man faces several drug charges after an investigation by sheriff’s office vice and narcotics officers. Deputies arrested Joey Lee Brown on Tuesday pursuant to a drug investigation that occurred in the parking lot of 4705 N.C. 150 south, according to the sheriff’s office. The circumstances of the investigation were not disclosed, but authorities reported 90 oxycodone, 38 Opana and five hydrocodone pills were seized following the arrest, along with $4,667 in cash, deputies said. The pills are various types of narcotic pain medications. Also seized were four Ecstasy pills, an illegal psychoactive amphetamine drug otherwise known as MDMA, deputies said. Brown, 27, of Oakdale Court, Lexington, was charged with six counts of trafficking opium or heroin, according to the sheriff’s office. This charge stems from the fact that the pills are derivatives of opium/

LETTERS

Authorities say allegations are bogus FROM PAGE 1

on Robertson. Randolph County Assistant District Attorney Andrew Gregson limited his comments this week concerning the letters, but said his office has “no evidence whatsoever” that Robertson is guilty of a crime. “It’s absolutely false,” Gregson said of the let-

ters. “We don’t even know Mr. Robertson. (District Attorney Garland) Yates doesn’t even know Mr. Robertson ... Quite frankly, it’s bizarre.” According to the Randolph County Clerk of Court’s Office, Robertson has no criminal record.

Thomasville police Lt. Darren Smith and Archdale Police Chief Darrell Gibbs said there are no investigations or pending charges against Robertson. “Anybody who would write a letter like this, it should bring up a red flag right off the bat,” Gibbs

said, adding that the allegations in the letters are “bogus.” Smith said his department hasn’t even responded to a “rock throwing” or “wreck” at New Hope Christian Academy, located at 105 Pineywood St.

media relations representative Diane Wagner. “As always, customers should be suspicious of unsolicited e-mails asking for account information.” The names and identities of other banks have been used by con artists to try to deceive customers.

CHARLOTTE – A man who police say exposed himself to two high-school aged girls earlier this month was arrested Tuesday for indecent exposure – seven months after a similar charge against him was dismissed in a Mecklenburg Courtroom. Raul Gabriel, 41, was arrested at police headquarters for the incidents, which took place just after school ended on October 14.

One sign of a possible con is an e-mail that has a generic greeting or salutation. “Most banks will address correspondence using the customer’s name, not a general salutation,” said Tom Corrigan, media relations coordinator with the Better Business Bureau of Central North Carolina in Greensboro. People should beware any e-mail, online, telephone or mail solicitation that seeks personal information such as a Social Security number or automated teller machine card security codes, the Better Business Bureau reports. “Reputable businesses would not do that for a survey or any other purpose,” Corrigan said.

Both occupants of the car denied ownership and knowledge of the money, which was seized after deputies contacted federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

It also will include storage space for equipment and supplies and living and kitchen space for crew members. PTAR expects the project to be complete sometime this spring.

Karzai’s brother denies getting CIA pay KABUL – Ahmed Wali Karzai, the brother of the Afghan president, on Wednesday denied reports that he has received regular payments from the CIA for much of the past eight years. The New York Times, citing current and former American officials, reported Tuesday that the CIA pays Karzai for a variety of services, including helping to recruit an Afghan paramilitary force that operates at the CIA’s direction in and around Kandahar.

Kurd leader demands control of oil-rich Kirkuk BAGHDAD – The president of Iraq’s Kurdish region demanded Wednesday that oil-rich Kirkuk be incorporated into his autonomous area, as parliament prepared for a showdown on the contentious issue of which of the northern city’s residents can vote in upcoming elections. Massoud Barzani’s comments ratcheted up the pressure on the eve of a vote on the electoral law that will lay the groundwork for January’s key parliamentary ballot.

Supreme leader: Questioning elections a crime TEHRAN, Iran – Iran’s supreme leader said Wednesday that questioning the results of Iran’s June presidential election is a crime, his strongest warning yet to opposition leaders who continue to insist the vote was rigged. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say on all state matters in Iran, did not go so far as to order the arrest of those leaders, as called for by hard-liners, but his words signaled the government could take stronger action if the criticism continues.

A U.S. contractor from Kansas City, Mo., John Christopher “Chris” Turner, said he held off gunmen with a Kalashnikov until a group of guests escaped through the laundry room. One of the U.N. dead was an American, the U.S. Embassy said. It was the biggest in a series of attacks intended to undermine next month’s runoff election. LIFE HAS ITS MOMENTS…

Clinton was a three hours’ drive away in the capital meeting Clinton Pakistani government leaders when the bomb went off in Peshawar. The bomb was directed squarely at civilians, unlike many previous blasts that have targeted security

forces or government or Western interests. While no one claimed responsibility, the bomb appeared aimed at undercutting public and political support for an ongoing army offensive against militants close to the frontier and showing that the government was unable to keep its people safe. The shaky, U.S.-backed government said the bombing had strengthened its resolve to press ahead with the assault in the South Waziristan border region.

Wal-Mart starts selling caskets, urns on Web site

House Democrats prepare to unveil bill WASHINGTON (AP) – House Democrats reached agreement Wednesday on key elements of a health care bill that would vastly alter America’s medical landscape, requiring virtually universal sign-ups and establishing a new government-run insurance option for millions. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi planned a formal announcement this morning in front of the Capitol. Lawmakers said the legislation could be up for a vote on the House floor next week. The rollout will cap months of arduous negotiations to bridge differences between liberal and moderate Democrats and blend health care overhaul bills passed by three separate committees over the summer. The developments in the House came as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., tried to round up support among moderate Democrats for his bill, which includes a modified government insurance option that states could opt out of.

Bay Bridge failure stirs fear, anger over new span SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – When 5,000 pounds of metal broke off the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and rained down on traffic during rush hour, the accident resurrected fears about the safety of a span that millions watching the 1989 World Series broadcast learned had failed during an earthquake.

She swerved and her car spun out as she ran over the rods, which gashed her tires. “I have lost so much confidence in the experts, the millions of dollars that are being spent to reconstruct and build a new bridge,” she said. “I just find it shocking and unacceptable.”

Thomasville leaders must work together for city Well, this year’s elections in Thomasville are certainly interesting. The citizens are represented by the mayor and City Council and do have a voice. It’s as simple as picking up the phone or writing an e-mail. I would guarantee that most municipalities have a similar two-minute limit so all citizens have an equal voice, without meetings lasting all day and night long. When it comes to revitalization, Thomasville has taken the same steps that others have. A city, of any size, cannot buy old buildings to refurbish them, nor can they demand that buildings be brought up to arbitrary visual standards. In every case of successful revitalization projects, it takes a partnership with property owners. Some business owners have already made the investment because it makes good business sense, not because the city compelled them to do so. Many of the candidates are opting to run this year because they believe they can solve the economic problems in Thomasville. If you ignore the fact the economy is down, you’re left with the problem that local governments can only do so much to directly influence business. Many said that tax incentives were the golden key, but we’ve seen with

the recent Dell announcement that this is not the case. Nor can the government invest in or create companies. The city can invest in infrastructure, public venues for entertainment and commerce. These things not only attract business, but help improve the quality of living in the city. The new mayor and City Council should partner with their peers in other municipalities to find fresh and proven solutions to the myriad issues that the city faces. Thomasville needs the best ideas to solve some of its issues, and ego should be set aside to do what is right by the citizens. PAUL J. SULLIVAN Morrisville The writer is a former resident of Thomasville.

works. On some occasions when they have had four-year terms, it seems that if an issue comes up that’s not popular with the citizens of Thomasville, the ones that are not up for re-election will be the very ones to push the issue. If you pay attention, the ones up for re-election in most cases don’t want anything to do with it. And as far back as I can remember, the mayor has been and should stay a two-year term. So I urge all of my friends and neighbors in Thomasville to vote against this referendum. Vote no in the City Council proposal and no in the mayor’s term proposal. Remember, you have to vote no twice against changes proposed in this referendum. DON SWINK Thomasville

in Thomasville I wasn’t going to write, but I felt this was too important of an issue to not say anything. Some of the people on our City Council here in Thomasville would have you think that running for re-election every two years is a bad thing, but I beg to differ. What they don’t like about the two-year terms is they can and will be held accountable to the citizens of Thomasville every two years. I’ve been around a long time, and I’ve seen how politics

reducing itself to a regional party of disaffected Southern whites. Indeed, unnamed White House officials tell Politico.com that it’s OPINION already happening; they point to a Leonard recent Washington Pitts Post/ABC News poll ■■■ which says only 20 percent of Americans now identify themselves as Republican. It’s among the lowest figures in the almost 30 years the poll has posed the question. That Obama has adopted a fighter’s stance must hearten his partisans, who have fretted that he was getting clobbered while playing Mr. Nice Guy. Nor can one argue with a straight face that conservatives have not earned a bloody nose after months of town hall hooliganism, tea party idiocy, and a dumberthan-a-bag-of-lugnuts “controversy” over Obama’s place of birth. And yes, Dunn is right about Fox: Glenn Beck is hardly the second coming of Edward R. Murrow.

All that said, one wonders if a White House that focuses excessively on answering its critics is not a White House that has allowed those critics to get into its head. One also wonders if Democrats who exult over the Post-ABC poll might not want to read it more closely. Yes, it finds Republicans down to a historic low of 20 percent. But it also says only 33 percent of Americans call themselves Democrats, a decline of seven percentage points just since March 2008. So this poll does not suggest an electorate crying, “Yay, Democrats!” so much as one crying, with apologies to Shakespeare, “A plague on both their houses!” Consider: a Rasmussen Reports poll last month found 60 percent of Americans saying “neither” party has the answers to what ails this nation. Seldom has the need for a viable third party been more apparent. Unfortunately, we don’t have that and won’t in the near future. We are left instead with two parties that might better be named Angry and Dopey. One manufac-

related, although he admits he can’t prove it. That fish kill – significant, yes – was discovered in a cove off an arm of High Rock Lake on the lake’s Rowan County side where a reasonable, more objective assessment would say contamination from the Thomasville spill would be extremely unlikely. The area is many miles from where one would suspect a fish kill possibly could be tied to the Thomasville spill. And besides, tests by state water quality officials of water in the cove revealed no evidence of possible sewage contamination. The most logical reason for the kill, officials say, is a rapid decrease in the water’s oxygen levels caused by natural environmental changes.

OUR MISSION

GOP, Democrats aren’t very popular right now ou figure the White House is probably feeling pretty good about itself right now. After spending much of the summer as a punching bag for conservatives, Team Obama has begun throwing punches of its own. It has unleashed its marquee figures to tee off on high-profile GOP personalities and institutions in a coordinated effort to marginalize the opposition. For example, you have communications director Anita Dunn saying of Fox News and its anti-Obama agenda, “We don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave.” Then there’s the administration’s combative stance toward the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, painting it as more a conservative front group than a lobbying organization and refusing to do business with it. White House officials have said this grows from a decision to be more aggressive in defending against conservative attacks. One doubts it would break Obaman hearts to help the GOP tumble further down the hill it slid upon in the November election,

Appeasement or hope Is President Obama generating the right message overseas? BY R.B.A. DI MUCCIO

I

n his inaugural address, President Barack Obama reached out to the world’s rogue leaders, telling them, “We will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.� No doubt, this sentiment and the worldview that underlies it have endeared President Obama to some, including the Nobel Committee. But it has also exposed his administration to charges of “appeasement.� That, of course, is a very strong term. What does it really mean? And does it really apply here? Unfortunately, appeasement has become a loaded and misused concept, going back to historians’ efforts to understand British policy toward Germany in the 1930s. Today, the “appeaser� claim is often just lazy shorthand for policies judged to be insufficiently resolute. This is not only unfair, but it has contributed to the very dilution of the term. So, it’s important to clarify what appeasement is and is not. Appeasement is not just any “weak� approach to any type of international actor. It is also not the pursuit of so-called “reciprocal influence strategies� between actors that share “mutual interest and mutual respect.� Both types of approaches to foreign relations certainly exist and happen all the time. But both are distortions of what appeasement really is. The former emanates from the tired hawkish refrain already mentioned. The latter coincides with the rise of neoliberal political science and ideology. The neoliberals twisted themselves into tautological knots to divine a rational reason for Neville Chamberlain’s stubborn accommodation of German aggression. But the “Munich� analogy has become appeasement’s exemplar precisely because it was neither a randomly irresolute response to the German threat, nor an attempt to use reciprocity to influence a like-minded fellow player. What it actually was is very instructive. In reality, appeasement is a unique form of international relations that displays three necessary ingredients: The first is a rogue actor that seeks to upset a given status quo. This actor does not accept as legitimate existing power structures or prevailing norms, as these are the very root causes of the actor’s dissatisfaction. The second is a central status quo actor that views the rogue actor’s grievances as legitimate and its aims as rationally limited. Finally, the status quo actor believes that the rogue actor’s “limited� aims must be disposed of through accommodation or concession, rather than through direct confrontation. Needless to say, foreign policy is an incredibly complex phenomenon not easily reduced to simplistic characterizations. Nevertheless, rarely since the 1930s have these core traits of appeasement more fully come to

life than in the Obama administration, or more specifically in its handling of Iran. Consider: We have the perfect rogue actor in Iran, which is clearly an anti-status quo state, not least in terms of its obvious taunting of the nuclear non-proliferation regime. We have a classic foil in the Obama administration, which has repeatedly suggested that Iran’s grievances have been partly caused by the West’s own actions and which has stated time and time again that Iran’s desire for “peaceful� nuclear technology is “legitimate.� Finally, the conciliatory farce that culminated in direct negotiations last month in Switzerland was only the most recent manifestation of the administration’s belief that Iran can be “incentivized� out of its nuclear-weapons ambitions. The unmistakable reality that

The unmistakable reality that will eventually confront President Obama is that Iran’s successive demands are simply links in a chain at the end of which is the very overthrow of the status quo. will eventually confront President Obama is that Iran’s successive demands are simply links in a chain at the end of which is the very overthrow of the status quo. The Iranian regime has indicated repeatedly that its nuclear aims are not limited; and this means by definition that its aims are not legitimate. It seems that only the Obama administration has not become aware of these truths already. Moreover, the Iran example shows that while the appeasement of rogue states is counterproductive in principle, it has the added windfall of sometimes being utterly immoral in practice. All at once, appeasement rewards recalcitrant actors for their bad behavior while guar-

anteeing the abject sell-out of oppressed groups within the rogue state. We saw this play out in sharp relief with the Obama administration’s wholesale abandonment of the Iranian prodemocracy movement. To be fair, Obama is not the first modern president to engage in bona fide appeasement. Both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush used essentially an all “carrot� and no “stick� approach to dealing with North Korea, causing an unending cycle of successively more dangerous crises in the process. Incredibly, Obama appears to be doubling down on this approach. President Obama’s inaugural flourish has turned out to be the exact opposite of his actual strategy for dealing with the world’s tyrants. Rather than first establishing that rogue actors have unclenched their fists, the Obama administration first extends its hand in the hope that the bothersome players will somehow see the light and fall into line. Unfortunately, these overtures are being made to precisely actors that are perfectly built to be emboldened by them. As a result, we know in advance what the tragic outcome will be. It may have been Obama’s talk of “hope� that won over the Nobel Committee. But hope cannot be the strategic underpinning of U.S. foreign policy, any more than it should have been the lynchpin of Neville Chamberlain’s approach to dealing with Hitler or of successive U.S. administrations in handling Pyongyang. Today, as then, the stakes are far too high. R.B.A. DI MUCCIO, Ph.D., is a guest commentator for The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College.

ow that her man is in the White House, liberal writer Kristine Kaiser, in her column on Oct. 18, discovers distinguishing good and bad isn’t quite so easy. Well! The world has never been black and white. But murky thought isn’t the antidote to its difficulty. Kaiser suggests we “embrace� the gray areas as change comes. No; it is far better to grapple with them, clear the fog and uncover truth, which never changes. In foreign affairs, considering another’s interests is dandy if results are in our own country’s interests, which are, above all, the main consideration, humanitarian goals notwithstanding. Though Kaiser desires we be all warm and fuzzy toward those individual citizens around the globe who are probably just nice folks, diplomats don’t deal with them but the ideologues of their governments. We are bound by the U.S. Constitution to defend it in these dealings. Do you realize that it is the oldest written constitution in continuous operation in the world? Two-thirds of the world’s constitutions have been written only since 1970. “We are the oldest representative democracy on the planet,� wrote the late Tip O’Neill. What respect we should have for this lasting, superior document! This is what makes us exceptional, not ourselves. It is why it’s not what world organizations or other nations want or say but the Constitution that points to our position.

ish ways of the arrogant conservatives, until then nonchalant about people’s needs. I wondered why the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 – which flattened Galveston, Texas, and killed 6,000 to 12,000 people – hadn’t already demonstrated this, if it were true. I also wondered how nonchalance was responsible for our billions in foreign aid. President George W. Bush had doubled AIDs relief to Africa. The Galveston Hurricane of 1900 doesn’t count because it occurred when any help the government mustered was gratefully received or proudly refused. There was a common morality, also embodied in constitutional principles, that bound the nation into a society. In the last 40 years, the dismantling of that morality by the Left’s unrealistic battle for “made-up� rights, meaning those not enumerated by the Constitution, has politicized everything and fueled the immaturity typifying many recipients of government aid. It has been figured that the billions that flowed into New Orleans following Katrina amount to $200,000 per resident. Volunteers of every political stripe helped. Yet four years later, complaints continue. The world does change. But change from what the Founding Fathers established to that wrought by leftist illusions of Utopia has turned this country upside down. One result is the attitude toward government’s role described above. I hope to be able to delve into others another time. CAROL COX lives in High Point.

(AP) – For two decades after her son’s bomber went down in the Pacific Ocean during World War II, Vella Stinson faithfully wrote the U.S. government twice a month to ask if his body had been found – or if anyone was looking. The mother of six strapping boys went to her grave without the answer that has finally reached her two surviving sons 65 years later: the remains of Sgt. Robert Stinson are coming home. Military divers recovered several pieces of leg bone from the wreck-

age of a B-24J Liberator bomber found at the bottom of the ocean off the coast of the island nation of Palau. DNA testing showed the femur fragments belonged to the 24year-old flight engineer who died in combat on Sept. 1, 1944. Stinson’s remains arrived under U.S. Air Force escort Wednesday and will be buried Friday at Riverside National Cemetery with full military honors. In between, the body will be kept at a mortuary less than 100 yards from the home where Stinson grew up with his brothers.

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. (AP) – Two teenage brothers were home alone in their suburban neighborhood when an argument over loud music spiraled out of control, police said, leaving one brother dead from a knife to the chest and the other accused of killing him. William Gorzynski, 15, was being held in juvenile custody on suspicion of second-degree murder in the Monday afternoon death of 14-year-old Matthew Gorzynski. According to police in Coral Springs, about 45 miles north of Miami, Matthew was playing music on a home computer. William was watching television nearby and complained the volume was too loud. He told him to turn it down. Matthew refused. The two yelled at each other, then fought. Then William went to the kitchen, grabbed a 7-inch knife and stabbed his brother in the upper left chest, Sgt. Joe McHugh said. William called 911 soon after.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) – NASA’s newest rocket successfully completed a brief test flight Wednesday, the first step in a backto-the-moon program that could yet be shelved by the White House. The 327-foot Ares IX rocket resembled a giant white pencil as it shot into the sky, delayed a day by poor weather. Nearly twice the height of the spaceship it’s supposed to replace – the shuttle – the skinny experimental rocket carried no passengers or payload, only throwaway ballast and hundreds of sensors. The flight cost $445 million. NASA said the flight was a tremendous success, based on early indications. Wednesday’s launch, three years in the making, represented the first step in NASA’s effort to return astronauts to the moon. The White House is re-evaluating the program.

HIGH POINT – It isn’t the concept of a Market Overlay District that bothers some showroom owners who spoke in opposition of the district at Tuesday night’s High Point Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. It’s the few hundred feet that separates their properties from the district’s boundaries. City planners said the largest concentration of showrooms in downtown High Point is included in the proposed district. Fifteen people spoke in opposition of the district at the meeting, however, citing its boundaries as an issue. Planners unanimously approved the proposal, which now must be approved by the City Council. Libby Cheek, co-owner of a small building on Church Avenue, two blocks west of the district, said the only tenants who had shown interest in renting the property had been furniture companies looking for showroom space. If the property was not included in the district, those companies could lose interest and the building would remain vacant, she said. “It’s disheartening to think our property value would be lowered from what it is now,” Cheek said. The World’s Largest Chest of Drawers at 508 N. Hamilton St. also is not included in the district. Pam Stern, an interior designer who owns the bureau and several properties in the downtown High Point area, argued that her properties should be included in the district because she made investments to remodel the buildings. After buying the bureau in 2007, she said she bought surrounding properties where crime was prevalent and invested in cleaning up the area. The building has served mix uses since her purchase,

Officials say proposal could revitalize downtown. 3B where banquets and other events are held. She said she had hoped to turn the building into a showroom one day. While the district plans allow current showrooms to be grandfathered in, they prevent new showrooms from being built outside of the boundaries. Ron Sock spoke in opposition of the district by reading statements prepared by officials of

Randall Tysinger and Stickley Furniture, both located outside of the district on Elm Street. If passed, the companies said they would reconsider showing at the High Point Market. Cathy Hinson, building manager of Union Square, also excluded from the district, said after the meeting she was concerned about the showroom tax, which each showroom pays to the city. She said showrooms not in the district’s boundaries should have to pay the tax, and she plans to seek legal advice regarding the matter. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

MARKET DISTRICT

–

Purpose: The Market Overlay District is based on a City Project plan that recommends limiting the development of new showrooms to one area within the city, thereby allowing a more concentrated area for the High Point Market. The plan also states that a defined district will help reduce real estate speculation in the adjacent areas and allow for the development of non-showroom uses that benefit both the High Point Market and the general community. The district also will include site standards, but not architectural standards, to ensure all new development is consistent with City Project recommendations. Who’s included: The Planning and Zoning Commission said there is an estimated 11.5 million square feet of showroom space in downtown High Point. About 88 percent of that is included in the district. The boundaries extend north to E. Ray Avenue, south to Grimes Avenue, east to Park Street and west to High Avenue. Planners said they included showrooms in an immediate, walkable area for marketgoers.

Agency faces growing service demands BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – The lingering weak economy means doubledigit caseload increases for the Department of Social Services and more stress for the workers who handle them. The demand for food stamps and other services has exploded as more people turn to the agency for help, agency leaders said Wednesday. Since March, food stamp distribution has increased from $6.8 million to $8.9 million in September. “That’s a lot of money,” Diane Poe, DSS division director of economic

Assistance: To receive food stamps, a family of four must not make more than $2,297 a month. A family of four can receive a maximum of $588 in food stamps a month.

services, told the DSS Board. The number of households receiving food stamps has increased 48 percent since the 2000 U.S. poverty estimate to more than 30,000. In 2003, it was just 12,000. Meanwhile, energy assistance has

increased 17 percent over the last year. Medicaid cases have grown by 15 percent to 34,400 and the number of clients by 9 percent to 53,000. “This economy is not moving,” said DSS Director Robert Williams. “We see about 125,000 people a month.” With county budget cutbacks, DSS leaders don’t expect to see additional funds to hire enough social workers to relieve the stress. “The errors will go up and the client complaints will increase,” Poe said. Workers also have to worry about audits, Williams said. The agency faces state “corrective” actions and penalties if it can’t handle emergency food stamp applications within seven days, for exam-

ple. “The feds have not backed off on their standards,” Williams said. Williams said the agency needs 25 to 30 additional workers, or a technology upgrade to move information faster. The state is working on an upgrade and county officials are considering one also. The agency’s information processing equipment is more than 20 years old, Williams said. “Many clients apply for multiple programs and support documents don’t always get filed for all of them,” Williams said. “We need a way to handle that information once for all programs.” dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Special-needs children require special parents

D

Dear Mom: I heard from the parents of many special-needs children who echoed your sentiments. And you’re right -- it does take a very special parent not to crack under the stress. Read on: Dear Abby: I am the mother of two boys with special needs who are around his age, and I can assure you, that woman is already “very involved”

in a way her sister cannot even begin to imagine. It is a labor of love that requires ADVICE intense attention to Dear their every Abby action and ■■■ potential need. Perhaps “Raising Money” should spend an entire day being the primary caregiver for her nephew while trying to complete household responsibilities or work. I cannot tell you the number of times I have cried in my car out of sheer fatigue (I now carry tissue in the glove box). The most charitable thing this aunt could do is to show up on her sister’s doorstep with dinner, an offer to do the laundry, and a long, comforting hug. – Cindy In Austin, Texas Dear Abby: No one fully understands what a parent with a child with a disability goes through from day one. First there is the emotional aspect. We grieve. It’s not the kind of grieving you do after a death. This is grieving that never ends. It cycles over and over. If you’re not crying, you’re angry. Some days you can accept and breathe; other days you just can’t. Anything can set you back, and suddenly you’re sobbing again. Not only is there the dayto-day caring for the child -feeding, dressing, hygiene, to name a few -- but also

phone calls, meetings, doctor visits, therapies. When the kids are little, many of these things aren’t too bad. But as they get older, larger, stronger, it breaks the caregiver’s body and spirit. There is also the problem of not being able to get needed services. In many states, once children are out of the school system and on the waiting list for adult services, they sit and languish at home with NO services until they qualify for accommodations. In some states that can be many years. And there’s no portability of services between states, so if you must relocate, you go to the bottom of that state’s waiting list. Living with that, we often can’t get or hold jobs. Day care is a huge problem for us and our kids. If that woman really wants to help, she should offer respite care and get involved with the waiting list issue, which is as important as research. – Sonja In Colorado Dear Sonja: In this time of draconian cutbacks everywhere, I hope our politicians will direct their thinking away from divisive politics and being re-elected to what must be done to help our most vulnerable citizens.

The airplane flights, a car leased to the campaign and other issues surrounding Easley and his wife have drawn attention from state and federal investigators. Easley said Campbell, the board’s star witness, was wrong. “He never, ever mentioned anything about repairs to the house along with any invoices. They were all separate,” Easley told the board, adding there was no conversation “where he could imply, read my mind or anything else ... for him to submit bogus invoices.” The contradictions in testimony come as election board members are expected to decide Thursday at the close of an investigative hearing what actions to take, if any, against Easley’s committee and the state Democratic Party. The board could exonerate his campaign, order it to pay fines or refer the case to prosecutors for criminal charges.

RALEIGH (AP) – Out of office for nine months, former Gov. Mike Easley appeared in public Wednesday to reject testimony from a friend and political ally about airplane flights and home repairs being investigated by the State Board of Elections. In more than four hours of testimony, Easley denied he told McQueen Campbell to use bills for campaign flights piloted by Campbell to hide thousands of dollars in reimbursements from campaign funds to pay for repairs Campbell took care of on the governor’s home. “I don’t know where he got that idea but he didn’t get it from me,” Easley told the board. Campbell, a longtime family friend whom Easley appointed to the N.C. State University trustee board, testified Monday that the governor had suggested the idea to him and that he filed two false invoices totaling more than $11,000.

ear Abby: On Aug. 10 you printed a letter from an aunt who was upset because her sister, the mother of a child with autism, doesn’t have time to join in fundraising with her and the rest of the family. While I commend the writer and her family for raising money for autism research, that woman needs to cut her sister some slack. Very few parents (thank goodness for them, though) have the emotional energy, not to mention time, to advocate for their child’s special needs. I commend you for giving the writer of that letter the answer you did. I would challenge anyone who thinks he or she could “handle it” to walk a mile in our shoes. Our entire lives center around our children and their doctors’ appointments, therapy, special schooling, adaptive equipment, etc. The last thing we need to hear is some self-righteous know-it-all putting us down for something we were hand-picked by God to do. – Special-needs Mom In Alabama

HIGH POINT – City leaders said they supported the Market Overlay District at Tuesday night’s Planning and Zoning Commission meeting because it could revitalize downtown High Point. Unanimously passed by the commission, the overlay district is part of the Core City Plan that was adopted in February 2007. City planners said they took that plan and conducted a study in the concentrated downtown

formerly known as the Core City Group, said at the meeting that a market district was needed in order to bring life to Main Street and its surrounding areas. “We recognized that we needed to do something to encapsulate the market district for many reasons,” he said. “We’ve been blessed with the furniture market because it is very important and vital to our city. The curse is that after market folks leave, our traditional downtown area is dead.” Clinard said the City Project had a vision to bring restaurant and retail establishments to the downtown area. “I’ll leave the boundaries in your hands,” he told the commission. Commission member Jay Wagner said a market district has been needed for many years as showrooms began to spread across downtown. “Current showrooms still can operate their showrooms until the end of time,” he said about those that would be grandfathered in. “There isn’t a better time to do this than now.” “The (boundary) line has to be drawn somewhere,” he said to showroom operators who were not included in the district. The district proposal next will go to the City Council.

The mural was commissioned by High Point Market Authority to commemorate the 100th anniversary of High Point Market this year. It is designed to illustrate memories of High Point Market guests and depict the market as a place that brings together products, people, information and ideas that shape the industry. It was created by Greensboro artist David Stanley, and it features 65 illustrations in Polaroid film, pencil, wax pencil, acrylic and oil on Masonite. It is composed of four 6-foot-high panels, and it was begun during spring market in 2009. In photo above, Stanley points out features of the mural to a marketgoer.

RALEIGH – During the past year State Employees’ Credit Union invested $1.6 billion of members’ funds in N.C. Student Loan Bonds, which helped the North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority and College Foundation Inc. make education loans available to North Carolina students and parents. The credit union recently committed an additional $25 million to help meet the higher demand for student loans for this school year. The two North Carolina private, nonprofit financial institutions and SEAA are also in the planning stages for SECU to help families with questions on completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Students and parents must complete a FAFSA form to be considered for federal and state aid for college. SECU will help CFNC and the North Carolina Association of Financial Aid Administrators offer FAFSA Day at sites across the state in February. Details on the joint efforts of these groups will be announced soon.

Q

uestion: I’m new to gardening and lawn care and am confused by fertilizers. What do the numbers mean? Answer: It’s important to understand fertilizer terms, what the numbers mean and how to figure math problems related to fertilizer. Fertilizers list the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content (expressed as N-P-K) as percentage numbers on the container. This is called the analysis or grade. The nitrogen could be one of a number of different forms, the P is actually P2O5, and the K is actually K2O. A 10-1010 fertilizer therefore contains 10 percent of each of these three major ingredients, or 30 percent total nutrients; the other 70 percent is filler or carrier for the nutrient products. In addition, you will hear the term ratio, which is the relationship of N-P-K to each other. A 10-10-10 fertilizer has a 1:1:1 ratio; a 15-5-5 fertilizer has a 3:1:1 ratio. Sometimes ratios don’t come out quite even, and coming close is all right. For example, a 19-3-3 fertilizer has a ratio that is close to 6:1:1. The value in knowing about ratios is that you can substitute fertilizers when you can’t find the exact product you want, and when fertilizer recommendations are made based on ratio. For example, fertilizers high in nitrogen

with ratios of 3:1:2 up to 5:1:2 are preferred for use in lawns. You can therefore use any fertilizer with a similar ratio even though the analyses differ; either a 15-3-3 or 25-5-10 fertilizer will work; you would simply apply less of the higher analysis product per 1000 square feet. Note that the 15-3-3 fertilizer has a ratio of 5:1:1, and that is close enough to the preferred ratio that it can be used for lawns. Most of the time, gardeners need to think about supplying nitrogen to plants since it is rapidly soluble in most commercial fertilizers and leaches quickly from the soil, as well as plants using up nitrogen in growing leaves and stems. Phosphorus moves very slowly in soil. Occasionally, a soil test will indicate that phosphorus is deficient and will recommend that the gardener apply additional phosphorus and incorporate it a few inches into the soil during preparation. Potassium is rarely deficient in soil, and we aren’t often concerned about supplying this in the garden.

Piedmont Opera provides triumph on stage bards. I know that opera lovers John and Pam Anderson were going but I didn’t see them opening night. Anderson has been on the board of directors for several years and a passionate supporter of the Piedmont Opera. Hush. Hush. The lights darken and the curtain rises. Hansel and Gretel skip onto the stage. I can see the head of Conductor/Artistic Director James Albritten swaying in the orchestra pit as operatic storytelling begins. Although written in German the opera is sung in English. Albritten described why Hansel and Gretel was chosen, “Sure, we could have brought you another dying soprano with a husband looking for revenge but instead I chose a story of two innocents who, faced with the threat of evil overcome it. Why not take a few moments to celebrate the triumph of good over evil as seen through the eyes of children?” And triumph it was! Both good over evil and the production of Hansel and Gretel. Even though the opera ran over 2 hours when it ended, I really didn’t want it to end. But jawohl! (exclamation ... yes) it wasn’t the end of the evening and there are more High Pointers to tell you about. Opening night at the opera was followed by an Opening Night Gala that was held a few blocks away at the Millennium Center. There was a shuttle or one could follow the Pied Piper. Slane (even with spiked heels on) and I followed the Pied Piper. As we approached the Center, we were greeted with cameras flashing and characters from fairy tales as we entered the hallway to “The Enchanted Forest.” With my eyes glistening from the flashes, I felt a hug and a kiss. Under the bedecked fairy tale character was High Pointer Terry Allen. Allen is a long time Piedmont Opera supporter and hospitality coordinator for the Opera’s OPERAtors, which is the volunteer society of the Piedmont Opera. There are all kinds of volunteering opportunities and I love their motto,”A

his week, I will start this column with the quote, “Art is like a border of flowers along the course of civilization,” from Lincoln Steffens. Although I was not familiar with Steffens, an American journalist who died in 1936, I think his quote is insightful. The concept and ABOUT definition of “art” TOWN includes visual art, Mary literature Bogest and the ■■■ performing arts. Last week, I told you about the importance of the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival in our community and this week I will tell you about the importance of our community in the Piedmont Opera. Last summer, I told you a little bit about the Piedmont Opera when Betty Ann and Jerry Hubbard hosted a “cultivation event” at their home. That wonderful musical event was designed to acquaint High Pointers with the Piedmont Opera. Executive Director Frank Dickerson made the comment to me that he wanted to expand the reach of the Piedmont Opera into High Point and invited High Pointers to attend the Opera’s production of Engelbert Humperdinck’s (the German composer not the British pop music singer who adopted the composer’s name) Hansel and Gretel at the Stevens Center in Winston-Salem. How would the High Pointers respond? I know the answer but I will take you to the opera first. Marsha Slane and I joined forces to enjoy our night at the opera. I think I began to feel more inspired just by saying I was going to the opera. There was an opening night aura as we got to Stevens Center and the “buzz” among the operagoers as music from the orchestra filled the hallways as tickets were being taken. It felt special even before we got to our seats ... and we saw other High Pointers. There was Peggy Amos and Bill Phillips and, a few rows over, were the Hub-

Retinal detachment requires prompt treatment

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I have never seen you write about retinal detachment. It’s an important topic. I’d like to tell your readers what happened to me. Since I was in the eighth grade, I have worn glasses for nearsightedness. Through the years, the prescription got stronger and stronger, but I managed well. I traded them in for contact lenses. One day while doing ordinary housework, I saw flashing lights and a bunch of floaters. I called my daughter, who immediately drove me to the emergency room. The eye doctor who examined me discovered the problem and fixed it right away. He said that I would have lost sight in that eye if I hadn’t been treated. I would like everyone to know what this is. – N.H.

Your story is deeply appreciated. Retinal detachment is something all should know about. The retina is the back part of the eye. It’s a multilayered affair composed of special cells and nerves. The retinal cells convert incoming light into nerve signals, and the nerves conduct those signals to the brain. We really see with our brains. The retina can pull away from the back of the eye for a number of reasons. Diabetes, sickle cell disease and eye inflammations can loosen the retina’s attachment. Eye injury is a cause. Perhaps nearsightedness (myopia) is the greatest cause. Nearsighted people can’t see

Everyone has some floaters, tiny black dots that dart around a person’s visual field. A shower of floaters, however, is a sign of retinal detachment. So are momentary flashes of light. Sometimes a curtain descends over the field of vision, and that’s another sign of a detaching retina. As you say, quick treatment is important to preserve vision in the affected eye. Eye doctors can effect reattachment in a number of ways. One popular method is the use of a laser beam to weld the retina back in place. Dear Dr. Donohue: I live alone, and I don’t like to cook. My diet, therefore, is somewhat lacking in vegetables and fruits. Can’t I get all the benefits that come from eating those foods by taking a vitamin pill? Do frozen foods have as much nourishment as fresh foods? – H.K. You probably can meet all your vitamin and mineral requirements by taking supplements, but it’s not the best way to

get them. Vitamins and minerals from food seem to be absorbed more readily. Furthermore, supplements lack fiber, something essential to good health. I don’t want to pass judgment, but people who don’t do any cooking often have a diet high in fats and carbohydrates – not the ideal diet. You don’t have to do much preparation to eat many vegetables and most fruits. Frozen vegetables and fruits often have more nutrients than so-called fresh produce. They’re frozen soon after picking. Canned fruits and vegetables lose a little percentage of their nutrients, but not all that much. Dear Dr. Donohue: My left ankle swelled and began to hurt, but I didn’t injure it. It’s still hurts and is slightly swollen. I haven’t seen a doctor. I have been in good health except for a bout of diarrhea two weeks before this happened. Could these two things be related? I thought I had stomach flu. – B.F. They could be related. There’s such a thing as reactive arthritis. It’s pain and swelling in one or a few joints that comes on suddenly. It follows an intestinal infection or a sexually transmitted infection. Salmonella infections, the same Salmonella you read about as causing food poisoning, can cause reactive arthritis. Joints of the leg are the most often targeted. You need to see a doctor.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) – A grand jury on Wednesday refused to indict a 53year-old man jailed since August on charges that he tried to stalk Miley Cyrus as the teen filmed a movie on the Georgia coast.

NEW YORK (AP) – According to Forbes magazine, the richest dead celebrity isn’t Michael Jackson. Although his estate has been big news since his death in June, the top-earning dead celebrity is French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. Forbes released its annual poll Wednesday. According to the magazine, Laurent earned $350 million in the past year. Laurent died of brain cancer in June 2008. Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein rank second with combined earnings of $235 million, followed by Jackson with $90 million, Elvis Presley with $55 million and J.R.R. Tolkien with $50 million.

Panthers stick with Jake CHARLOTTE (AP) – A miserable seven-game stretch of 18 interceptions and three lost fumbles wasn’t bad enough for Jake Delhomme to lose his job. Delhomme will start for Carolina on Sunday against Arizona – the same opponent in which he began the worst slump of his career. After a couple of days to think about it, coach John Fox said Wednesday he determined the beleaguered Delhomme remains the best option ahead of backups Matt Moore and A.J. Feeley. “The 48-hour rule, you go back and you look and there’s no question that we’ve struggled in that area,” Fox said. “Going through and looking at some of our mishaps, I don’t think it’s one guy. I still think he gives us the best chance to win.” Delhomme was facing the first

AP

Despite his struggles at QB this season, Jake Delhomme was named the starter for Sunday’s game at Arizona by head coach John Fox on Wednesday. uncertainty with his status since he replaced Rodney Peete at halftime of the 2003 season opener and led the Panthers to a Super

Bowl berth. Fox wavered after he threw three more picks against Buffalo Sunday, two of which led to 14 Bills points in a 20-9 loss that dropped the Panthers to 2-4. Fox was noncommittal on Monday, and Delhomme acknowledged he would have understood if Fox benched him. “If he would have went that way, how could I blame him? I mean, let’s be real here, how could I blame him?” Delhomme said. “But I was hoping it would be me. I’m going down swinging. I don’t know any other way to put it.” Delhomme’s downfall has been sudden and striking. He successfully returned from reconstructive elbow surgery last season and led the Panthers to a 12-4 record and the NFC South title. But then Delhomme threw five interceptions and lost a fumble in a stun-

ning 33-13 home loss to Arizona in the NFC divisional playoffs The Panthers gave the 34-yearold Delhomme a five-year contract extension in the offseason that includes $12 million in guaranteed money over the first three years. Rip Scherer replaced Denverbound Mike McCoy as quarterbacks coach and vowed to focus on Delhomme’s fundamentals. Instead, Delhomme has picked up where he ended the 2008 season. Delhomme threw four interceptions and lost a fumble in a Week 1 loss to Philadelphia, and the bad throws and decisions have continued. He has an NFL-high 13 picks to go with only four touchdown passes – none to star receiver Steve Smith. His 56.5 passer rating ranks 32nd in the league, and Carolina’s minus-14 turnover margin is the worst in the NFL.

Pinkney, Pirates enjoy a romp through Memphis MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – Quarterback Patrick Pinkney ran for two touchdowns to help East Carolina beat Memphis 38-19 late Tuesday night. Dominique Lindsay ran for 139 yards for the Pirates (5-3, 4-1 Conference USA), who warmed up for a game against No. 14 Virginia Tech by rolling up nearly 500 yards on one of the country’s worst defenses. “Last night in the hotel room (Giavani Ruffin) and I talked about what we were going to do tonight,” Lindsey said of his road game roommate. “We knew that the offense was going to be leaning on the run and we talked about how we needed to take care of things out here tonight.” The Tigers, who rank 106th in total defense, fumbled twice to set up early scores for East Carolina. Will Hudgens completed 33 of 48 passes for 313 yards and two touchdowns for the Tigers (26, 1-4), who turned the ball over four times. Pinkney completed 14 of 27 passes for 216 yards and a touchdown, and was picked off once. His only carries were scoring runs of 23 and 3 yards, and he wasn’t sacked. Ruffin ran for 87 yards and a late third-quarter touchdown that helped the Pirates pull away and take over the lead in C-USA’s East Division. “It was great to have him back out there because he’s such a warrior,” East Carolina coach Skip Holtz said. “Giavani Ruffin came out really strong for us, too.”

‘Desperate’ Tar Heels visit Virginia Tech BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

CHAPEL HILL – North Carolina defensive end E.J. Wilson didn’t try to mince words earlier this week. “We are desperate for a win,” he said. “We need to get our first conference win, and we really, really need to get back on track because we’ve let a couple games slip away from us that we had a great opportunity to win.” UNC heads to No. 14 Virginia Tech tonight (7:30 p.m., ESPN) still searching for its first conference victory after losing its first three ACC games. The Tar Heels are just one of two winless teams in the conference – the other being N.C. State – and they sit at the bottom of the ACC after talking in the preseason about winning the conference championship. But getting a victory over the Hokies is easier said than done. Virginia Tech (5-2, 3-1) is 9-2 in Thursday night games played at Lane Stadium and has beaten UNC (4-3, 0-3) in the past five meetings. Earlier in the week, UNC coach Butch Davis said he thinks this year’s Virginia Tech team is the best the Hokies have had since the 1999-2000 squad, led by Mi-

chael Vick, that played for a national championship. “Going to Virginia Tech is always a challenge from the standpoint of crowd noise,” Davis said. “It’s something your football team has got to be prepared for. This is probably one of the best Virginia Tech teams I’ve seen probably in the last eight or 10 years.” The Hokies boast the second-best rushing attack in the ACC thanks mostly to running back Ryan Williams. The freshman leads the league in rushing yards and is the seventh-leading rushing in the nation with 119.14 yards per game. Containing Williams will be one of the toughest challenges UNC’s seventh-ranked defense has faced this season, as the Heels are giving up just 102.6 yards on the ground per game. “They’re a very physical offense,” Wilson said. “They like to run the ball downhill, which is my kind of game. I like a physical, downhill running kind of game where it’s mano-a-mano. It’s you either man up or you can’t play this game.” But Williams’ isn’t the Hokies’ only offensive threat. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor is ranked fourth nationally in pass efficiency, having thrown just three interceptions compared to nine touchdowns this season.

olks, it’s time to talk about Iowa. No, we’re not in the middle of another threeyear buildup to the Iowa caucuses. That madness starts in a few more weeks. The Iowa Hawkeyes are making news with their gridiron prowess. While it’s a little early for me to throw my support behind Iowa for a spot in the BCS national title game, it’s way past time to give the Hawkeyes their due. At 8-0, Iowa is off to the best start in school history. Their 4-0 Big Ten record gives the Hawkeyes sole possession of first place in the conference.

Iowa last won the outright Big Ten crown in 1985. The Hawkeyes shared the Big Ten title in 2004. The rest of the schedule favors an Iowa coronation. The Hawkyes have home games left against struggling Indiana, Northwestern and Minnesota. The biggest question mark looming involves a trip to up-and-down Ohio State. The Hawkeyes are a fun team to watch. Iowa needed a 7-yard touchdown pass from Ricky Stanzi to Marvin McNutt as time expired to win at Michigan State on Saturday. Earlier nailbiters included a 17-16 victory over Northern Iowa, a 24-21 escape against

Arkansas State and a 30-28 comeback win over Michigan. But the Hawkeyes looked great in a 21-10 win over then-No. 5 Penn State and dominated Wisconsin for a 20-10 road triumph. With Florida, Alabama, Texas, Cincinnati and Boise State still unbeaten and Southern Cal lurking with only one loss, it’s hard to see a path to the BCS title game for Iowa. There are too many frontrunners to pass. Of course, Iowa is famous for producing shocking underdog winners from time to time, so don’t lose hope, Hawkeye fans.

Clemson distributed 6-foot posters of C.J. Spiller before the season to hype their elusive tailback as a Heisman Trophy contender. After the Tigers’ 2-3 start, many of them were probably rolled up and put into storage. The speedy senior could still make a run at the Heisman, especially in a season when it’s been hard to find a front-runner. Spiller set a school record with 310 all-purpose yards in the Tigers 40-37 overtime victory at No. 18 Miami last week. Included was Spiller’s third kickoff return TD this season and his 18th and 19th career scores of 50 yards or more. With Spiller out front, the Tigers (4-3, 3-2 ACC) have won two straight over Wake Forest and the Hurricanes to put themselves in control of the Atlantic Division. He rushed for 106 yards and two touchdowns, including a 66yard romp, in a 38-3 win over the Demon Deacons. His showcase game at Miami featured a 90-yard kickoff return TD right before halftime.

UNC AT VIRGINIA TECH

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Who: North Carolina (4-3) at No. 14 Virginia Tech (52) When: 7:45 p.m. (ESPN) Line: Virginia Tech by 16 1/2. Series record: Virginia Tech leads 16-9-5. Last meeting: 2008, Virginia Tech, 20-17. What’s at stake: The Hokies are one of three teams in the country to have won 10 games in each of the past five seasons, joining Southern Cal and Texas. With five regular season games remaining, plus a bowl game, the Hokies need to rebound from a loss to Georgia Tech to keep it going. North Carolina is trying to revive its offense to complement a stout defense. Key matchup: Virginia Tech tailback Ryan Williams against the North Carolina defense. Williams is averaging 119 rushing yards and has scored 11 touchdowns, tying the Hokies freshman record set last season by Darren Evans. The Tar Heels’ defense ranks 23rd nationally against the run, allowing an average of just 102.5 yards. Players to watch: North Carolina: QB T.J. Yates was booed last week when he threw for just 64 yards and the Tar Heels squandered a 24-6 lead and lost 30-27 to Florida State. He’s averaging just 112 passing yards in the Tar Heels three league games, all losses, and is likely to face a lot of pressure as the Hokies try to use their defense to whip up a frenzy in Lane Stadium. Virginia Tech: P Brent Bowden, an avid guitar player, has taped his own version of the Hokies’ traditional entrance music, Metallica’s “Enter Sandman,” to be used before the game. Facts & figures: Virginia Tech is 5-0 against the Tar Heels since it entered the ACC in 2004. ... The Hokies are 15-4 in previous Thursday night games televised by ESPN. ... Hokies QB Tyrod Taylor ranks sixth nationally in passing efficiency and has nine TD throws and just three interceptions. ... North Carolina has held five of seven opponents under 100 rushing yards this season. ... The Tar Heels led the Hokies 17-3 last season in Chapel Hill, before the Hokies rallied.

PAC 6 title on the line tonight CARVER AT T. WINGATE ANDREWS

---

Records: Carver 5-4, 3-0 PAC 6 2A Conference; Andrews 6-3, 3-0 Last year: Carver 28-13 Last week: Carver beat Atkins 23-0; Andrews routed Randleman 54-3 Next week: Carver plays host to Trinity; Andrews visits Wheatmore This week: These teams always found themselves in the mix for the Piedmont Triad 3A Conference title and not much was expected to change this year when both saw dips in enrollment place them in the PAC 6 2A. While the Yellowjackets still must contend with a talented Trinity offense, Andrews’ regular season is all but done with the finale at new school Wheatmore. Win tonight, and the Red Raiders are conference champs. Lose – and it could get real interesting. Even if Carver wins tonight, Trinity could really mess things up with a victory next week, leaving the top three schools at 4-1 with no way to break the tie. The Yellowjackets get it done with a swarming defense and patient offense. Carver only managed 23 points against woeful Atkins, for instance, but has played consistently and at a high level all year. The team’s losses came against Dudley (one loss all year to Ragsdale); Glenn (one loss to West Forsyth); R.J. Reynolds (undefeated); and Mount Tabor (losses to Glenn, Reynolds and state 4A No. 1 Butler). Andrews, meanwhile, has surged since opening the year with defeats at Charlotte Country Day and Northeast Guilford, and an offense that was sluggish in the early going seems to be coming around. – COMPILED BY STEVE HANF

Ford will debut new Cup engine this weekend BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

AP

Carl Edwards flips into the catch fence on the final lap of the Aaron’s 499 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Ala., in this April 26, 2009 file photo.

Edwards not worried about Talladega crash B

elieve it or not, Carl Edwards claims he doesn’t have any extra worries about going back to race at Talladega Superspeedway this weekend. It would be understandable if he did feel uneasy, because the last time the Cup Series was at the 2.66-mile track, Edwards’ Ford flew into the catch-fencing protecting those in the main grandstand and then landed back on the track just short of the checkered flag. “I know it sounds silly, but I was thinking about Talladega and going back there and everything that can happen,� Edwards said last weekend at Martinsville Speedway. “(The wreck) wasn’t part of my thinking until I saw a picture on NASCAR.com or something yesterday and I thought, ‘Oh yeah, that was a pretty wild wreck.’ � Wild, indeed. Edwards crashed trying to hold off Brad Keselowski as they raced for the lead heading toward the finish line. Edwards blocked successfully once, but Keselowski put the nose of his Chevrolet closer by the time Edwards tried to block for the second time. Edwards’ car spun after they made contact and then lifted off the ground and started flying toward the grandstand wall. Before it got to the barrier, it was punted by Ryan Newman’s car, with Edwards’ left-rear wheel striking Newman’s windshield. For a split second, Edwards’ car looked as if it might sail into the grandstand. But it caught the catch-fence, turning upside down before falling onto the track on its wheels. Keselowski won the race. “To me, that’s not the thing that’s forefront in my mind going

there, it’s the strategy that I’m gonna use,� Edwards said. “I did learn something about the end of the race – block once. I probably won’t block twice.� Edwards escaped SPORTS injury. He climbed from his car and Greer symbolically ran Smith across the finish line. ■■■“Personally, I feel good about (Talladega),� Edwards said. “I think that wreck showed me you can have a pretty good wreck and walk away from it.� A young girl wasn’t so lucky. Blaine Bobbitt, an Alabama resident, was struck by debris and suffered a broken jaw. Edwards is to meet Bobbitt at the track this weekend. “I hope nothing like that happens again,� Edwards said of Bobbitt’s injuries. “That’s the worst feeling I’ve had in racing when I was told someone was injured.� As a result of the wreck, International Speedway Corporation installed taller catch-fencing at Talladega and the similar Daytona International Speedway. The new fencing at Talladega is 22-feet high, eight feet taller. NASCAR also decided to reduce the diameter of the four openings in carburetor-restrictor plates for this weekend by 1/64th of an inch, which is expected to cause a slight reduction in horsepower. The restrictor plates reduce the flow of the fuel-air mixture into the carburetor. “I think that smaller restrictor plates will keep the speeds down,� Edwards said. “That’s probably

a good move, considering we’re already nose-to-tail wide-open the whole time. I don’t think that will have a detrimental effect. I think making the fence taller and stronger is good. That won’t keep parts from flying through the fence. That could happen at any race track, but it may help keep an entire car out of the grandstands, which would be catastrophic. So that’s a good move as well.� Newman also lauded the two moves, but continued to voice his concerns that NASCAR hasn’t done enough to reduce the possibility of cars lifting off the ground. “My ultimate answer is what can we do to keep the cars on the ground aerodynamically?� Newman said. “I don’t know what has been done. Has the car been in the wind tunnel backwards to see how much lift it creates? Have we, collectively as teams or NASCAR, done those things? When Carl’s car was airborne, it got airborne by itself. ... Whatever we can do as teams, collectively with NASCAR, to try and keep the cars on the ground is the ultimate safety situation in respect to the type of accident we saw (at Talladega).� Edwards might not have any trepidation about racing at Talladega again, but everything points to the same old story at the track – all the cars running in a big drafting pack with the possibility of a big wreck and cars flying. It’s a good thing the catch-fences were raised to let spectators have fewer worries like Edwards, so they have a little less trepidation about a car landing in their laps. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Ford will finally debut its new generation Cup engine this weekend at Talladega. The engine, dubbed the FR9, is the first for Ford not based on production engine design and parts. The rollout will be limited to the Roush-Fenway cars of Matt Kenseth and David Ragan, both of whom are not in the Chase for the Championship. “When we say purpose-built, it ties back to the fact that this engine is designed right from a clean sheet of paper to optimize how we need this race engine to perform, and is unconstrained by any of the production boundaries that the current engine had to deal with,� Ford racing director Brian Wolfe said. Wolfe said the new engine has a lower center of gravity and is expected to have better cooling systems and heat transfer. Wolfe hopes the better cooling will allow engines to survive with less airflow, which would allow teams to put more tape on grills to improve aerodynamics. Doug Yates, co-owner of Yates-Roush Engines which supplies all Ford teams in the series, said Talladega was chosen to help get the engine ready for use in more cars at the Daytona 500 in February. The engine was also used in a recent test at Daytona. “I feel really good about the engine,� Yates said. “After the Daytona test we saw some things that after a normal race weekend we would come back and adjust on – the valve spring load loss was a little bit more than what we would like to see. We made some adjustments around the valve train, and with our test requirements here in-house, I feel really good about going to the race track this weekend with it. Would I be more nervous if this was the Daytona 500 in 2010?

Sure, but I feel pretty good about the engine.� The engine was to have debuted earlier this year. “We were ready to go to Daytona in July, and we actually had some parts that came in that were wrong, so that got pushed back,� Yates said. “But when we did further testing, we found that we were not as ready as we thought we were, so that was a bit of a blessing.� Engines are required by NASCAR to be equipped with carburetor restrictor plates at Daytona and Talladgea as a way to reduce horsepower and keep speeds under 200 miles an hour. Yates said the restrictor-plate races provide a tough test for engines despite a sizable reduction in horsepower. “These engines at Talladega in restricted format turn 9,000 rpm, which is amazing,� Yates said. “When NASCAR brought the COT on and they put more gear in the car so the drivers would have better throttle response, as an engine builder it was really concerning and we had a lot of work to do to take an engine that used to turn 7,000 rpm and make it turn 9,000 rpm. So this is a very demanding track and it’ll be a good test for the engine this weekend.� Yates said Ford hopes to also put the engine in some cars in non-restrictor plate races before the end of the year. He said the goal is to have the engine available for use across the board by the middle of next year. “As we ramp it up and we get more parts in-house, and we gain more confidence in the reliability and the performance of the engine, we’ll start bringing it out with more teams across the board, and work our way into having all the teams running the engine, hopefully, by midseason,� Yates said. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Panel named to find new Dell plant tenant

WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — A panel assigned to find a new tenant for the Dell Inc. computer assembly plant near Winston-Salem includes an official from Dell. The Winston-Salem Journal reported that Mayor Allen Joines formed the task force, whose members include officials from the North Carolina Commerce Department.

Home prices may be at bottom MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WINSTON-SALEM — The two latest national home price reports are moving in different directions. But they show that housing markets are bottoming out, according to a Colorado-based residential real estate analyst. Home prices rose in August for the third straight month, according to the Standard & Poors/CaseShiller home price index

of 20 major cities, released Tuesday. The index climbed 1 percent from July to a seasonally adjusted reading of 144.5. While prices are down 11.4 percent from August a year ago, the annual declines have slowed since February. But the Federal Housing Finance Agency said last week that home prices fell 0.3 percent from July to August and are down 3.6 percent in the past year, despite a 1.69 percent price increase during the same

period in the Wichita Metropolitan Statistical Area. Steve Murray, publisher of Real Trends in Littleton, Colo., says the studies’ meaning is clear: Housing markets are bottoming out, but the impact of federal intervention in the market has destabilized many of them. Murray said unit sales were up 9.2 percent in third quarter over the same period last year. But during the same period, average prices dropped 9.4 percent.

“What that tells us is that unit sales have bottomed out, propped up by the first-time homebuyer tax credit,” Murray said. But, Murray said, the federal government’s intervention in the housing market has stimulated demand and caused inventories to dry up in cities where housing activity has been depressed. “I’ve talked to brokers in California, Florida and Arizona, and they tell me that federal ac-

Yahoo CEO tries to regain respect

GMAC wants more aid

SUNNYVALE, Calif. (AP) — Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz vows to boost the slumping Internet company’s “pathetic” profit margins. Bartz made the comments Wednesday as she kicked off an all-day meeting with stock market analysts. Bartz told them she hoped Yahoo could regain their respect. The meeting marked the first time that Yahoo has provided an extended overview of its strategy in 3½ years. Most public companies hold the sessions, known as “analyst days,” every year or two. AP

Energy prices slide on gas supply jump NEW YORK (AP) — Energy prices slumped Wednesday after the Energy Department reported a higher than expected jump in U.S. gasoline supplies. Retail gasoline prices have ticked upward since the middle of the month, around the same time that crude futures rose above $75 per barrel for the first time this year. Benchmark crude for December delivery fell $1.76 to $77.79 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The rising cost of crude and ensuing production cuts by refiners who are also stung by those prices has helped push gasoline prices higher for 15 days in a row.

UBS ex-client avoids prison for tax fraud MIAMI (AP) — A wealthy accountant convicted of filing a false tax return has been sentenced to a year of house arrest because of his extensive cooperation in the U.S. probe of Swiss bank UBS AG. A Miami federal judge imposed the sentence Wednesday for 55-yearold Steven Michael Rubinstein, the first American charged in the UBS case.

DILBERT

tion is screwing up the market,” Murray said. “Demand is stimulated with the tax credits, but the federal and state governments are blocking inventory to the markets through loan modifications and moratoriums on foreclosures. You can go to some of the hardest-hit areas of the country, and they’re out of inventory at the lower end of the market, where all the activity is in the first place.”

A new development of townhouses is seen in Wakefield, Mass., on Monday.

Housing sales take surprising fall WASHINGTON (AP) — Sales of new homes dropped unexpectedly last month as the effects of a temporary tax credit for first-time owners started to wane. The Commerce Department said Wednesday that sales fell 3.6 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 402,000 from a downwardly revised 417,000 in August. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected a pace of 440,000. It was the first decline since March. Sales in September were off 7.8 percent from a year ago. Despite the surprising de-

cline, the market is up 22 percent from the bottom in January, though down more than 70 percent from the peak in July 2005. The median sales price of $204,800 was off 9.1 percent from $225,200 a year earlier, but up 2.5 percent from August’s $199,900. The drop in sales was driven by a nearly 11 percent decline in the West and a 10 percent drop in the South. Sales rose 35 percent in the Midwest and were unchanged in the Northeast. The report reflects contracts to buy homes, not completed sales. It has been taking longer to

close a transaction this year because it’s taking longer to get approved for a mortgage and to have a property appraised. Those time lags could make buyers nervous they won’t be able to complete the deal before the Nov. 30 deadline to take advantage of a tax credit of up to $8,000 for firsttime buyers. The report “demonstrates the power of the first-time homebuyers tax credit,” said Bernard Markstein, senior economist with the National Association of Home Builders, which has been lobbying Congress to

extend and expand the tax incentive. “We just haven’t gotten the economy back to the point where we can step back and say the housing market doesn’t need any more support.” Congress is considering extending the tax credit through March 31 and gradually phasing it out over the rest of next year. The Senate could vote as soon as Wednesday. “If they don’t extend it, then I think the pullback could be quite significant,” said Brad Hunter, chief economist with Metrostudy, a real estate research firm.

UPS, FedEx spar over labor bill ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — FedEx Corp. and UPS Inc. officials argued Tuesday for the first time face to face about whether a labor bill pending in Congress would create a UPS monopoly or an even playing field for all package delivery companies. The shipping giants squared off over the federal legislation at a Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce meeting. FedEx had asked to speak

at the meeting as part of its national campaign to advance its position on the bill. Chamber officials agreed to hear from FedEx as long as UPS could also have an opportunity to speak. A provision in the House version of the bill would switch FedEx Express employees to the jurisdiction of the National Labor Relations Act from the National Railway Labor Act.

The Railway Labor Act is designed to minimize strike interruptions to railroad and airline transportation. It allows workers to organize, only if all workers vote on a union at the same time, a requirement that has been a roadblock to unions that could not afford national organizing campaigns. Malcolm Berkley, a public relations manager for UPS based in Washington D.C., said about 50,000 Fe-

dEx Express drivers are not covered under the Labor Relations Act. They represent an anomaly in the package delivery industry even though they do the same job as other drivers. “What it’s really about is equal treatment of drivers under the law. A driver is a driver is a driver,” he said. Berkley said FedEx salespeople have used the company’s legal position to sell their business as being more reliable.

NEW YORK (AP) — GMAC, the former lending arm of General Motors Co., is in talks with the Treasury Department for a third injection of taxpayer aid, a further sign of the U.S. government’s entrenchment in the U.S. auto industry. The Treasury Department mandated earlier this year that GMAC Financial Services raise an additional $11.5 billion in capital after undergoing a “stress test” along with 18 other banks. While other banks deemed undercapitalized have been able to raise funds from private investors, GMAC has been forced to go back to the government. GMAC is a crucial player in the U.S. auto industry, providing wholesale financing to many General Motors and Chrysler dealerships to pay for the vehicles on their lots. The company also operates a mortgage lending unit — Residential Capital — which has been pummeled by the housing market downturn.

GM likely to post gain DETROIT (AP) — A top General Motors Co. sales analyst says the automaker is likely to post its first year-overyear monthly sales gain in October. Mike DiGiovanni says GM also should see its market share increase for the third straight month despite shedding the Pontiac, Saturn, Saab and Hummer brands. Automakers release sales results next week.

Costco to accept food stamps nationwide PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Costco says it will start accepting food stamps at its warehouse clubs nationwide after testing them at stores in New York. It’s a big about-face for a retailer that has catered

to the bargain-hunting affluent — and a sign of the grim reality facing retailers and their customers. Food-stamp users recently hit a record 36 million. Costco Wholesale Corp. began accepting food stamps at its New York

stores this year under political pressure. The company doubted many would use them but saw a strong response and will accept them in at least half its stores nationwide by Thanksgiving.

INDEX

Stocks slide on new home sales NEW YORK (AP) — Signs of a weaker housing market and a gloomier outlook on the economy gave investors more reasons to dump stocks. Major market indexes fell sharply Wednesday after the Commerce Department said new home sales dropped for the first time in five months. Sales slid 3.6 percent in September to 402,000. Analysts had expected an increase. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 119 points, or 1.2 percent. The Nasdaq composite index fell 2.7 percent, while the Russell 2000 index of smaller companies tumbled 3.5 percent. Many of the stocks in both indexes are considered more risky and so they suffered some of the biggest losses. The retreat came as Goldman Sachs Group Inc. reduced its expec-

tation for the nation’s economic output for the July-September period. Goldman Sachs predicts third-quarter gross domestic product rose at an annual rate of 2.7 percent, weaker than its earlier forecast of 3 percent. The government’s report on third-quarter GDP is due Thursday. Economists are looking for growth at an annual rate of 3.3 percent after a record four straight quarters of contraction. The day’s slide signaled that investors were reassessing their hopes for a recovery in the economy. Demand for safe-havens like Treasurys rose as did stocks of companies whose business is expected to fare better in a slump. Stocks of consumer staples companies like Procter & Gamble Co., which makes Tide deter-

China, Harsco sign joint venture HANGZHOU, China (AP) — U.S. officials will raise perennial trade issues, including copyright piracy and Chinese restrictions on U.S. farm products, in talks Thursday that are expected to smooth frictions ahead of President Barack Obama’s first visit to China. Before the annual talks, held in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou, U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said he hoped for progress on protecting intellectual property, clean

energy, medical devices and pharmaceuticals — the sorts of nuts-and-bolts issues the gathering will focus on. On Wednesday, Locke and U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk observed the signing of a joint venture agreement between a China’s state-run Zhejiang Construction Materials Corp. and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania-based Harsco Corp. — the kind of job-creating deal the U.S. side would like to see more of.

“The profound reality is that trade means jobs and this joint venture means good jobs in both America and here,” Kirk said. Washington and Beijing have regularly butted heads over trade disputes this year, and China sharply criticized an Obama administration decision last month to impose stiff tariffs on Chinese tire imports to protect U.S. manufacturers. “As we grow and expand, inevitably we’re going to have challenges and prob-

lems we have to deal with. We need an open relationship in which we can speak openly of our disagreements,” Jon Huntsman, the U.S. ambassador to China, said Wednesday in a preliminary meeting with the Chinese side. Thursday’s session of the U.S.-China Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade “is very important because it will set the direction for years to come in respect to investment and trade,” he said.

House panel OKs new rating agency rules WASHINGTON (AP) — A House committee on Wednesday voted to set new rules for investment rating agencies, which lawmakers say misled investors by giving high marks to risky securities tied to subprime mortgages. The proposal, approved by a 49-14 vote, is the House Financial Services Committee’s latest attempt to tighten the rules of the road for financial institutions after last year’s market crisis.

A floor vote was expected as early as November, although the measure would still face scrutiny in the Senate. The bill would allow the Securities and Exchange Commission to test the methods employed by rating agencies and sanction lax supervisors. While the legislation does not provide for criminal sanctions against the agencies, it would make them more vulnerable to lawsuits

by angry investors who feel they were misled. “These rating agencies were falsely elevated to some godlike status that when they put a triple-A rating on something, you could take all of your mother’s savings and invest it in there and you were doing the right thing,” said Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. Paul Kanjorski, who sponsored the bill. As part of its broader effort to clamp down on

Wall Street, the committee also has voted to create a new federal agency to protect financial consumers against fraud and abuse. The panel has agreed to give regulators new powers to monitor hedge funds and regulate privately traded derivatives, the kind of complex financial instruments that nearly brought down insurance giant American International Group.

Durable goods orders rise 1 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — Orders to U.S. factories for big-ticket manufactured goods rose in September as the biggest jump in demand for machinery in 18 months offset weakness in commercial aircraft and autos. The second advance in three months for durable goods orders is a hopeful sign for the manufacturing sector, which has helped lead the early stages of the fledgling economic recovery. But many economists worry that demand could falter in the months ahead as various government stimulus programs wind down.

ConocoPhillips profit sinks, production jumps HOUSTON (AP) — ConocoPhillips said Wednesday that low natural gas prices and thin margins from its gasoline refining business drove profits down 71 percent in the third quarter, but the oil company is ramping up production as crude prices jump. It is the second big oil company in as many weeks to report that oil production has grown as the industry recovers from a severe slump in energy prices over the past year.

WellPoint takes loss as enrollment tumbles INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Health insurer WellPoint Inc.’s third-quarter profit fell 11 percent as enrollment in employer-sponsored health insurance plans continued to slip while more U.S. workers lost their jobs. The largest publicly traded health insurer based on enrollment said Wednesday it took a big hit in its local group business, which provides fully insured plans for small businesses. Membership there sank 6 percent compared to the same quarter in 2008.

Turmoil from climate change poses security risks WASHINGTON (AP) – An island in the Indian Ocean, vital to the U.S. military, disappears as the sea level rises. Rivers critical to India and Pakistan shrink, increasing military tensions in South Asia. Drought, famine and disease forces population shifts and political turmoil in the Middle East. U.S. defense and intelligence agencies, viewing these and other potential impacts of global warming, have concluded if they materialize, it would become ever more likely global alliances will shift, the need to respond to massive relief efforts will in-

crease and American forces will become entangled in more regional military conflicts. It is a bleak picture of national security that backers of a climate bill in Congress hope will draw in reluctant Republicans who have denounced the bill as an energy tax and jobs killer because it would shift the country away from fossil fuels by limiting carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and industrial facilities. At the current increasing rate of global carbon dioxide pollution, average world temperatures at the end of this century will

likely be about 7 degrees higher than at the end of the 20th century, and seas would be expected to rise by as much as 2 feet, according to a consensus of scientists on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The security implications of global warming were center stage Wednesday at a Senate Environmental and Public Works Committee hearing, one of a series of sessions in advance of voting on the climate bill, possibly as early as next week. “Our economic, energy and climate change challenges are all inextricably linked,” retired Vice

Storm dumps snow on Rockies, plains CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) – A storm that brought the first heavy snow of autumn to a large portion of the Rockies and western plains prompted officials to close schools in Wyoming on Wednesday and was blamed for dozens of accidents in the state and in neighboring Colorado. Up to 18 inches of snow was forecast in Denver and along the northern Colorado Front Range. As much as 4 feet was possible in the Colorado mountains. Cheyenne was expected to get at least 14 inches before the storm moves off this afternoon. The National Weather Service predicted similar amounts for a wide area of the Wyoming, Nebraska and Colorado plains. The storm also brought snow to northern Utah’s Wasatch Front. Most of the roughly 70 accidents in Wyoming happened on Interstate 80 before the Wyoming Department of Transpor-

Adm. Dennis McGinn told the committee. “If we don’t address these challenges in a bold way and timely way, fragile governments have great potential to become failed states ... a virile breathing ground for extremism.” “The U.S. military will be called to respond to these threats,” added McGinn, a member of the CNA Military Advisory Board, an influential think tank on military and security issues. The security implications of climate change have been an issue of growing concern in the defense and intelligence communities.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration warned on Tuesday that the U.S. could slip further behind China and other countries in clean energy development if Congress fails to pass climate legislation, as early signs of a rift emerged among Democrats over the bill’s costs. Energy Secretary Steven Chu told a Senate panel that the U.S. has stumbled in the clean energy race, and to catch up Congress must enact comprehensive energy legislation that puts the first-ever limits on the gases blamed for global warming. “The United States ... has fallen behind,” said Chu. “But I remain confident that we can make up the ground.” While the legislation is likely to clear the environment panel, more than a dozen Democrats have voiced serious concerns about the potential economic fallout from shifting away from fossil fuels to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions. On Tuesday, Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., chairman of the Finance Committee, told the hearing Tuesday that he had “serious reservations” with the aggressive effort to cut emissions over the next decade. The bill calls for greenhouse gases to be cut by 20 percent by 2020, a target that was scaled back to 17 percent in the House after opposition from coal-state Democrats.

Rod Stewart bares his soul on new album ‘Soulbook’

BROADWAY BOUND

BY JOHN CARUCCI ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

R

od Stewart reinvented himself in the new millennium by exercising his distinctly soulful pipes on classic standards with his “Great American Songbook” collection. Now he returns to his soul roots on “Soulbook” (J Records), a thirteen-song collection that represents the soul sounds of Philadelphia, Memphis, and Motown. Stewart kicks things off with a dramatic rendition of the Four Tops classic, “It’s the Same Old Song” and between that and the last song, he honors soul music’s greats, including The O’Jays, the Temptations, and Sam Cooke. And while it’s a pretty good record, it does have a few minor bumps. Whenever an artist covers somebody else’s material, it’s important that they offer something fresh in return, and for the most part

MUSIC REVIEW

Whenever an artist covers somebody else’s material, it’s important that they offer something fresh in return, and for the most part Stewart delivers. Stewart delivers. But some of the arrangements are too close to the originals. No one will ever confuse Stewart with Jimmy Ruffin on “What Becomes of the Broken Hearted,” or Brook Benton on “Rainy Night in Georgia,” but he breaks no new ground on either song. Stewart gets some help on the record from the top echelons of the R&B community. Mary J. Blige joins him on The Stylistics classic, “You Make Me Feel Brand New,” while Jennifer Hudson shares the mic on “Let It Be Me.” Smokey Robinson even makes an appearance as Stewart remakes his Miracles’ classic, “The Tracks of My Tears.” Such high profile guest artists sometimes leave the listener wanting more, especially on “My Cherie Amour.” Here, Stevie Wonder joins Stewart, and the only thing that the

On the production side, Steve Tyrell is back at the helm (he did Stewart’s American Songbook collections). Adding to the soul vibe is Grammy-winning engineer Al Schmitt. Along with Tyrell, he works the boards to lend an authentic feel without losing the sound of Stewart’s velvety touch. No surprise since the legendary Schmitt was Sam Cooke’s original producer, and has won dozens of honors. He’s the right guy to pull this kind of

soul project, especially when it’s of the blueeyed variety. With that said, the album will no doubt please the Rod Stewart fan, as well as those seeking quality easy-listening. But will the appreciation of the traditional soul music fan be a bit more fickle? CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: The minimalist opening of “What Becomes of the Broken Hearted” ahead of its rich arrangement offers the perfect blend of dramatic flair on the record.

NEW YORK (AP) – Forget “Mad Men.” The ’60s will live again on Broadway next spring in a revival “Promises, Promises,” the musical based on the Academy Award-winning movie “The Apartment.” The musical will star Sean Hayes as an ambitious insurance company employee who lends his apartment to company executives for romantic flings and Kristin Chenoweth as his love interest. Producer John Gore said the production will open April 25, 2010, at the Broadway Theatre with preview performances beginning March 28. “Promises, Promises” features a book by Neil Simon and a score by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. The musical will be directed and choreographed by Rob Ashford. Among its best known songs are “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again,” made popular by Dionne Warwick; “Knowing When to Leave” and the title tune. Hayes, who will be making his Broadway debut, is best known for playing Jack on the television series “Will & Grace.” Chenoweth last appeared on Broadway in the 2006 revival of “The Apple Tree” and was Glinda in the original cast of “Wicked.”

Thursday, October 29, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Amit Paul, 26; Ben Foster, 29; Kate Jackson, 61; Richard Dreyfuss, 62 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: This is a great year to take a fresh look at some old ideas and make changes that enhance your outlook, image and your home environment. It’s time to open up and include the thoughts and suggestions of the ones you love into your own game plan. Accomplishment will come easy and your journey will take you to a place you can call home. Your numbers are 6, 15, 18, 21, 29, 37, 48 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t set yourself up by giving out too much information. You can be sure someone will go above and beyond the call of duty to get your attention. Get all the facts and figures you need. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t be so predictable. It’s the element of surprise that will give you the edge when it comes to advancement, control and negotiating a deal. Avoid arguments with people to whom you are emotionally attached. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Tying up your cash or your time cannot be allowed. You have to protect what you have and refuse to give in to pressure. Concentrate on work and the relationships you feel are worthwhile. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): New experiences will do you good and will help to shape what’s to come. Attend seminars, tradeshows or conferences. You can make physical and emotional changes that will boost your confidence and get you moving down a positive path. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do your best to please the people you care for. A change within a partnership will catch you by surprise. Be upfront. Love is on the rise and can play an important role in your financial future. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You can make some emotional pleas that will help you sort out any personal problems you’ve been harboring. Some alterations could make a difference to someone you are trying to please. Communication and nurturing a situation will lead to a better future. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Make a move that enables you to put your talents to better use. Look for a position that will allow you to do what you do best and you will gain security and greater stability in your life financially. Networking will pay off. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t do anything that isn’t necessary, especially if it entails travel or dealing with government or institutions. Keep things mellow and avoid anyone who appears to be argumentative. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will be tempted by an offer. Before you decide to accept, consider the consequences and whether you are prepared to deal with someone who may not approve. Face any dilemma head on; avoiding issues will only make matters worse. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep things out in the open so you cannot be accused of going behind someone’s back. An old lover or friend is likely to come to mind. You may want to get in touch but don’t get lured into a complicated situation. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It will be easy to set someone off who doesn’t like change or feels threatened by what you are doing. You must avoid errors now by being honest about the way you feel and the way you see things unfolding. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Before you make a poor judgment call, ask someone you trust for an outsider’s opinion. It’s better to be safe than sorry when dealing with issues that concern both emotions and finances. ★★★

Mark an X on a piece of paper, hold the paper before your eyes and move it toward you. Close your left eye and look left. The X will vanish. That’s your “blind spot,” an area where the retina has no light receptors. Any player can have a blind spot. Today’s declarer grabbed dummy’s ace of diamonds, took the A-K of clubs and A-J of trumps, and threw his last diamond on the queen of clubs. Fearing that the next club would be ruffed, South ruffed a diamond, drew trumps and led the king of hearts. West ducked smoothly and ducked again when South led a low heart. Alas, South misguessed, playing dummy’s ten.

OVERRUFF South had a blind spot. After he took the queen of clubs, he should have led the jack. If East could have ruffed, South would overruff and finesse with the ten of hearts. If instead East followed, South could ruff high, draw trumps and finesse in hearts. As the cards lay, East would discard on the fourth club. South would pitch a heart and get home easily.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S J 2 H Q 10 2 D A Q 4 2 C Q J 10 4. Your partner opens one spade, you respond two clubs and he bids two hearts. What do you say? ANSWER: It’s a close call. Should you bid 3NT, committing to game, or bid 2NT to invite? To know your partner’s style would help. If he often opens light, shapely hands, you might be wise to invite. With an unknown partner, I’d bid 3NT. The queens, jacks and good spot cards will carry full weight at notrump. South dealer N-S vulnerable

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.
