HIGH POINT – Children in the area now have a second High Point group to teach them the particulars of being in the spotlight.

The newest, The PlayHouse (and The PlayHouse Jr. for young children), is a division of High Point Ballet, but it’s strictly devoted to theater. Children age 4-7 and 8-16 attend classes and rehearsals and participate in productions for a fee.

High Point Community Theatre, in its 33rd year, mixes adults and children in productions at no cost to either.

Voters will go to the polls from 6:30 a.m.-7:30 p.m. Tuesday in this year’s municipal general election. Voters will elect mayors and/or members of city or town councils in area municipalities such as Thomasville, Trinity, Jamestown, Wallburg, Midway and Denton. Two exceptions are High Point and Archdale, which hold municipal elections in evennumbered years.

Municipal races in Davidson, Guilford and Randolph counties are nonpartisan, meaning the party affiliation of the candidate doesn’t appear on the ballot.

Elon poll: Obama still has support MCCLAATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

ELON – A year before his name will be on the ballot, U.S. Sen. Richard Burr has tepid support from North Carolinians, according to Elon University Poll results released Friday.

The same poll showed more people surveyed approve than disapprove of President Barack Obama’s job performance, though fewer approve of his handling of the economy or the war in Afghanistan.

The poll was conducted Monday through Thursday, with 703 adult North Carolina residents surveyed. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.

More people approved than disapproved of Burr’s job performance, with 37 percent approving and 22 percent disapproving. For-

tyone percent didn’t have an opinion.

But 42 percent said “it’s time to give a new person a chance” at the job, compared to 19 percent who said the Republican incumbent deserves re-election.

U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, a Democrat, has the approval of 35.3 percent surveyed and the disapproval of 35.4 percent. Twenty-nine percent didn’t have an opinion. Hagan won her first senate term in 2008.

The poll found 46.5 percent of people surveyed disapprove of how Gov. Beverly Perdue is doing her job, compared to 36 percent who approve and 18 percent who didn’t have an opinion.

By a fairly small margin – 52.5 percent to 44 percent – more people who were surveyed approved than disapproved of Barack Obama’s job performance

Asked about Obama’s handling of Afghanistan, 43.4 percent disapproved and 41.5 percent approved.

By a small margin – 45.8 percent to 42.5 percent – people opposed sending more U.S. troops to Afghanistan.

People were closely split when asked if the war in Afghanistan is worth fighting – 47.5 percent said yes and 43.5 percent said no.

Among other poll findings: A large majority – 68 percent – thinks the country is more politically divided now than previously.

Thirteen percent say conditions are “about the same” and 15.5 percent say the country is less politically divided.

Fire kills man, sends his mother to hospital CHARLOTTE (AP) – Authorities say a cigarette sparked a house fire that killed a 43-yearold North Carolina man and seriously injured his mother.

Charles Kipling Isaac of Claremont died at a hospital after firefighters found him Saturday.

His mother, Kay Price Isaac, was taken to a Winston-Salem burn center. She was listed in serious condition.

A neighbor called 911 about 6:15 a.m. Saturday. Fire investigators believe the fire started in a back bedroom.

Fire officials say both Charles and Kay Isaac were found in a hallway near the back of the house.

Claremont Fire Chief Gary Sigmon says they were trying to get out.

THEATER GROUPS

HIGH POINT – Rita and Gary Taylor seem to lack a “rest” setting.

The PlayHouse children’s drama program is the latest in a string of nonprofit projects Rita, executive director, and Gary, artistic director, of High Point Ballet, recently have taken on. The PlayHouse falls under the umbrella of High Point Ballet, but other of their projects have separate nonprofit status and function, Rita Taylor said.

“We are growing; the only way to go is to grow,” she said. “I really believe that the more innovative and the more you’re reaching out, the more it fulfills our mission to bring various educational outlets to children.”

PlayHouse and PlayHouse Jr. for younger children already have a structure in place through a four-year-old group in Pinehurst with the same name and function. The Pinehurst version, however, has a separate nonprofit designation from High Point Ballet.

“This seemed a natural process for us because we work with children in the Pinehurst area, and in that community it’s become one of our specialities,” Rita Taylor said.

Auditions for the High Point productions of “Cinderella” and “Bugz” (for PlayHouse Jr.) were held in October.

Performance classes and rehearsal begin Monday for “Cinderella” for age 8-16, and sessions for “Bugz” for age 47 began last week. It is not too late to begin either, Rita Taylor said.

Paige Morgan-Foy will lead The PlayHouse, and Carol Johnson will direct The PlayHouse Jr. Both plays have been staged in Pinehurst, and High Point productions will make double use of costumes, sets, lighting design and music.

Performance dates and locations for High Point haven’t been set yet, but both likely will be staged in January.

Eventually Taylor would like the companies to teach students not just the rudiments of acting, but also all elements of staging a production, including lighting, music and sound. High Point Ballet, for instance, provided students the opportunity to study the art of dance and its pro-

----

For Rita and Gary Taylor operate four groups, each with a separate nonprofit designation and function: • High Point Ballet, a pre-professional dance group and High Point Area Arts Council affiliate. The PlayHouse and The PlayHouse Jr., children’s drama groups, are part of High Point Ballet. High Point Ballet also operates a dance program, High Point Ballet School of Dance at Wesleyan Teaching Studios, at Wesleyan Education Center.

• The PlayHouse and The PlayHouse Jr. in Pinehurst, separate from likenamed groups in High Point.

• Moore OnStage, a professional theater and pre-professional dance program in Pinehurst.

• Winston-Salem Festival Ballet, a professional dance company and a partner of the Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County.

Some of those students now are working in New York, Taylor said.

“What I would ideally like to do is develop a team of technical and staff support that we can integrate high school students interested in learning in various aspects of theater, or becoming costumers or technical support. We want it to become a real training opportunity for kids,” she said.

“Our broad mission is to try and touch these kids so they have something to build on. We can help them build portfolios for the School of the Arts or design programs in colleges.”

all types of votes held locally and across the nation. So the officials who have the most direct effect on people’s day-to-day well-being are elected by the smallest number and percentage of the electorate.

“Most of the decisions that influence our lives are made at the state and local level. But sadly, that’s not what gets as much attention,” said Matthew DeSantis, assistant professor of political science at High Point University.

Turnout can drop as much as 30 percent from a presidential election

In the last 15 to 20 years, media and political attention has shifted nearly exclusively to national and congressional elections, said Jack Fleer, professor emeritus of political science at Wake Forest University.

“So people don’t notice as much how much local officials and elections have influence in their daily lives,” Fleer said.

The nonpartisan nature of most municipal races in North Carolina – where the party affiliation of candidates doesn’t appear on the ballot – can discourage turnout.

“It makes it difficult for people to easily access information,” DeSantis said.

Having party identification of candidates makes it easier for voters to make assessments and gather background on candidates through the political parties, he said.

SANFORD (AP) – Dorothy Moore spent most of her career teaching middle school in Chatham County. She’s still gets called to fill in from time to time when a teacher is out, but she’s found a new passion in retirement.

Moore, 83, is in the clothing business.

The Sanford Herald reported that she spends her afternoons helping people pick out clothes in a nondescript white building in downtown Sanford. She hands out new blue jeans from Express, lightly used men’s suits, bright red ski jackets, leather tennis shoes and knit sweaters. All she asks for in return is a signature for her guest book, but each day Moore walks away from her work with a wide smile and the satisfaction of knowing she’s done her part to help.

Moore operates the Clothing Mission at Blandonia Presbyterian Church as a way to carry the church’s message of love and service into the surrounding community.

The mission offers a variety of clothes and other basic home goods to anyone who comes looking,

all free of charge.

The Rev. Mamie Hooker, pastor at Blandonia, said Moore approached her with the idea for the Clothing Mission two years ago. Hooker presented the idea to church leaders and the program was established.

“That was something she wanted to do,” Hook-

Inspiration for the mission was drawn from Matthew 25, where Jesus instructs his followers to provide food, shelter and clothing for others, emphasizing the importance

of the task by saying “I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”

“That’s the heart of the gospel for me,” Hooker said.

Hooker is a firm believer in the idea that once God lays a desire to serve on a persons heart, the church should do all it can to support the effort.

When church members ask her for new opportunities to minister to the community, it lets her know that her sermons are hitting home.

“The ministry is theirs, not just the pastor’s,” Hooker said. “I’m here to equip the saints for ministry. It makes me feel so good just to know that the people know that and they take ownership of their ministry.”

Mexican farm leader, 14 others killed

MEXICO CITY (AP) – The leader of a Mexican farmworkers’ organization and 14 other people were killed in a mass shooting in the northern Mexico state of Sonora, an official said Saturday.

Iraqi man suspected in attacks kills officer BAGHDAD – A man being questioned in connection with this week’s deadly double bombings in the Iraqi capital was able to seize a gun and kill an investigative officer during an interrogation before being shot himself, the government said Saturday.

The man, who was not identified, snatched a gun from a guard and wounded the guard, then killed the investigative officer during the interrogation in the officer’s Interior Ministry office, the ministry said in a Web site statement Saturday.

Cairo mosque being restored to glory CAIRO – Developers unveiled the restoration of a 650-year-old mosque in Cairo’s old city, part of an effort to revitalize the impoverished district and boost tourism to the country’s treasure trove of Islamic sites.

The three-year, $1.4 million project restored the Aslam al-Silahdar Mosque, built in 1344-1345

by Aslam al-Bahai, an amir or nobleman who rose to the position of “silahdar,” or “swordbearer” for Sultan al-Nasir Mohammed, one of the most powerful of Egypt’s Mamluk rulers.

Iranian opposition leaders vow defiance

Sonora prosecutors’ spokesman Jose Larrinaga said the victims include farm leader Margarito Montes, 10 other men, one woman and three minors. Most were believed to be Montes’

relatives or employees.

Larrinaga said the victims’ bullet-ridden bodies were found on a roadside near a farm Friday. The killers apparently used assault rifles, the sort of weapon favored by Mexico’s drug gangs.

A father and his son wade through floodwaters brought about by typhoon Mirinae Saturday at Santa Cruz, Laguna province, south of Manila.

Typhoon kills 7 in Philippines MANILA, Philippines (AP) – A typhoon battered the Philippine capital and surrounding provinces still reeling from recent flooding, sending residents of one town clambering onto rooftops Saturday to escape rising waters.

Seven people died and at least five were missing.

Typhoon Mirinae was the fourth storm to lash the northern Philippines

since late September and brought new hardship to areas still struggling in the wake of the previous disasters. Nearly 95,000 people who fled during two prior storms were still living in temporary shelters when Mirinae struck, the national disaster agency said.

Saturday’s storm headed out to sea in the afternoon and weakened into a tropical storm.

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran’s opposition leaders vowed Saturday to continue challenging the ruling system despite a harsh crackdown by security forces that killed dozens of protesters in post-election turmoil.

The statements Saturday from opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi and former President Mohammad Khatami were seen as attempts to reinvigorate the anti-government Green Path of Hope movement just days ahead of an annual statesponsored Iranian rally against the United States.

Pakistan: Soldiers close in on Taliban bases ISLAMABAD – Pakistani soldiers closed in on two major Taliban strongholds in South Waziristan on Saturday, officials said, as government jets pounded insurgent hide-outs and the prime minister said the country had no choice but to defeat the militants.

“We are at war,” Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani told a press conference in the city of Peshawar, where a militant car bombing a few days ago killed more than 115 people. “Our civil leadership, our military leadership and political leadership ... we are on the same page that we have to fight the militancy.”

KABUL (AP) – President Hamid Karzai’s challenger plans to call for a boycott of next weekend’s runoff election in an attempt to force the vote’s postponement until spring, his campaign manager said – a move that would dim U.S. hopes for a stable Afghan government for months.

Clinton makes bid to resume Mideast talks ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) – U.S. hopes of reviving Mideast peace talks appeared shaky Saturday after a senior Palestinian official said the Palestinians are unlikely to resume negotiations if Israel does not halt Jewish settlement building.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and aides in the Gulf emirate of Abu Dhabi on Saturday before flying to Israel, where she is expected to meet senior Israeli officials in a push to restart peace ne-

gotiations.

A top aide to Abbas, Saeb Erekat, said in a phone interview with The AssociClinton ated Press that Clinton had asked Abbas to allow Israel’s government to complete building 3,000 units in Jewish settlements in the West Bank, and to allow the government to construct public buildings and continue construction in east Jerusalem – a territory Palestinians hope will be their future capital.

Gadaf says the British couple, Paul and Rachel Chandler, are safe and will not be harmed.

Man who sought out Miley Cyrus gets plea deal

FAMOUS, FABULOUS, FRIVOLOUS

---

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) – A 53-year-old man pleaded guilty Friday to resisting police outside the set of a Miley Cyrus movie on the Georgia coast after prosecutors dropped charges that he tried to stalk the teen pop star.

Mark McLeod, who told police he was engaged to marry the 16-yearold “Hannah Montana� star, was sentenced by a State Court judge to two years probation and was

ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation. He was also banished Cyrus from Savannah and surrounding Chatham County and ordered to stay away from Cyrus and her family.

District Attorney Larry Chisolm issued a statement saying prosecu-

tors dropped attempted stalking charges against McLeod because they lacked evidence that his “attempt to reach or follow Miley Cyrus was different than the hundreds of other fans.�

He also said authorities had to consider the safety of Cyrus and other citizens without overreacting because a celebrity was involved. McLeod of Appling, Ga., had been jailed since Aug. 4.

Daytime TV show personalities show off Halloween costumes NEW YORK (AP) – Halloween hit the daytime talk shows a day early as TV personalities dressed up in costume Friday.

NBC’s “Today� went with a “Star Wars� theme.

Matt Lauer dressed as Luke Skywalker, Meredith Vieira as Princess Leia, Al Roker as Han Solo and Ann Curry as Darth Vader. Kathie Lee Gifford dressed as C-3PO and Hoda Kotb as – you guessed it – Yoda. “Live! with Regis and Kelly� chose a tonguein-cheek reality show route. They showed off

20 costumes during the one hour show, although some changes were taped ahead of time.

Highlights included Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa as Jon and Kate Gosselin.

Philbin wore an Ed Hardy T-shirt while Ripa had the Kate Gosselin wig, a short skirt and high heels. The two spoofed the Gosselin’s battle over money by splitting a pile of cash between them.

They also recreated the infamous “table-flipping� scene from “The Real Housewives of New Jersey� with Ripa as Te-

resa Giudice and Philbin dressed in drag as Caroline Manzo.

The show’s program director, Art Moore, played the part of Richard Heene, the Colorado father accused of orchestrating the recent “balloon boy� hoax. Executive producer Michael Gelman was the boy, Falcon Heene. “The View� ladies showed their fangs with various vampire costumes, including Elisabeth Hasselbeck as “Countess Chocula,� complete with a giant cereal box over her head.

Arnold “Phil� Phillips brings over 40 years of Funeral service experience to this community.

Nicole Richie gets protection from paparazzi LOS ANGELES (AP) – Nicole Richie and her children are getting some court-ordered space from a pair of celebrity photographers.

A judge on Friday granted Nicole Richie’s request for a temporary restraining order against the paparazzi. Her filing states that one of the men, Eduardo Arrivabene, caused a car accident involving Richie in Beverly Hills earlier this month.

The filing added that Ar-

rivabene and Ivon Emilio Melo Miguel continue to chase Richie and her children in the Richie pursuit of shots.

The men scream at Richie “in an attempt to get a reaction� and have left the 28year-old frightened for her family’s safety.

Richie has a newborn son and infant daughter with rocker Joel Madden.

Searchers scour seas 2 days after air crash SAN DIEGO (AP) – Families of nine military members lost at sea held out hope Saturday their loved ones survived a midair collision between a Coast Guard aircraft and a Marine Corps helicopter, even as a second full day of searching

dragged on with no news.

Jennifer Wiegandt Seidman she said hopes her husband, Chief Petty Officer John Seidman, was wearing a protective drysuit when he entered the chilly Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego, where water tempera-

tures have hovered in the lower 60s.

Seidman is a flight engineer with a 23-year career in the Coast Guard.

“I don’t want to let my mind go to thinking the worst,” Seidman said from the couple’s home in Carmichael, Calif.

Patricia Warren of Cleveland holds up a missing persons poster of her cousin Janice Webb, missing since June of this year, outside the home of Anthony Sowell on Friday in Cleveland.

Coroner: 6 bodies found at home; Ohioan arrested CLEVELAND (AP) – A convicted rapist who fled before police arrived to arrest him on new rape charges was arrested Saturday in his inner-city neighborhood after police found six decomposing bodies at his home.

Police spokesman Lt. Thomas Stacho said Anthony Sowell was walking down the street on the east side of Cleveland when authorities spotted him

and took him into custody.

Sowell initially denied he was the man authorities were looking for but admitted his identity as officers began fingerprinting him, Stacho said. Charges against him on pending.

Officers initially identified three bodies at Sowell’s home, Stacho said. Powell Caesar, a spokesman for the Cuyahoga County coroner’s office, said other remains were confirmed Sat-

urday as three additional bodies, for a total of six.

As of Saturday, autopsies had been performed on all six bodies but no cause of death or names were announced.

The first two bodies were found Thursday night when police went to Sowell’s home to arrest him on charges of felonious assault and rape. Police say he had spent 15 years in prison for a 1989 rape.

After all the fuss, government health plan to cover few WASHINGTON (AP) – What’s all the fuss about?

After all the noise over Democrats’ push for a government insurance plan to compete with private carriers, coverage numbers are finally in: two percent.

That’s the estimated share of Americans younger than 65 who’d sign up for the public option plan under the health care bill that Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is steering toward House approval.

The underwhelming statistic is raising questions about whether the government plan will be the iron-fisted

competitor that private insurers warn will shut them down or a niche operator that becomes a haven for patients with health insurance horror stories.

Some experts are wondering if lawmakers have wasted too much time arguing about the public plan, giving short shrift to basics such as ensuring that new coverage will be affordable. “The public option is a significant issue, but its place in the debate is completely out of proportion to its actual importance to consumers,” said Drew Altman, president of the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation.

Obama tempers economic news with caution on job losses WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama on Saturday tempered excitement about a growing economy with a sober outlook that more people will lose their jobs. He called that a heartbreaking reality and cautioned that even a burst of upbeat news “does not mean there won’t be difficult days ahead.”

Obama’s straddle served to set expectations for a nation emerging from recession but anxious for an economic security that has not nearly returned.

The good news of the week: The economy is on the rise for the first time in more than a year. From July through September the economy grew by 3.5 percent, the strongest uptick in two years.

Volunteers carve pumpkins along the driveway to the North Portico of the White House in Washington on Saturday.

No trick: 2,000 kids knock on White House door WASHINGTON (AP) – It’s the ultimate trick-or-treating treasure, that one house on the block that offers the coolest candy and surprises galore.

This year it’s the big gated place on Pennsylvania Avenue, No. 1600.

President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama awaited more than 2,000 children Saturday night from the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia. The Obamas themselves were to spend time handing out goodies to the trick-or-treaters on the most famous front porch in America, the North Portico.

What do you get for Halloween at the White House?

Not bad, kids: A box of White House M&Ms with the president’s signature imprinted on it, a sweet dough butter cookie made by White House pastry chef Bill Yosses, a National Park Foundation Ranger activity book, and a serving of dried fruit mix made up of cherries, apricots, pears, apples and papayas.

By early afternoon, a big, stuffed, black spider was dangling in a web of string from the top of the portico, and pumpkins had sprouted up around the columns.

HIGH POINT – Hearty souls like Zetta Charles weren’t going to let the threat of rain dampen their Halloween spirit Saturday.

Donning her costume as Pablo the penguin, a character from “The Backyardigans” children’s TV series, 3-year-old Zetta joined her mother and some friends to go trick-ortreating along W. Parkway Avenue.

“She’s definitely been looking forward to Halloween,” said her mother, Jamie Charles. “She’s already slept in her costume once.”

Those who took to the streets early Saturday evening were greeted by balmy weather and plenty of opportunities to collect candy at welcom-

‘She’s definitely been looking forward to Halloween.

“Each year, we’ve had over 300 trick-or-treaters,” she said. “People are everywhere after dark. It’s like something out of a movie.

It’s wrapped up by 8:30 (p.m.), but I’ll still have people knocking on my door.”

On the other side of town, Tina Charles was helping supervise a group of trick-or-treaters through a north High Point neighborhood off Johnson Street.

The group included children with an array

of costumes, including a fairy princess, a ninja warrior and the Snake Eyes character from “G.I. Joe.” The group appeared to have their street all to itself, which they didn’t seem to mind.

“We’re going to go around for about an hour while it’s light and then head over to Victorious Life Church on Skeet Club (Road), where they’re having some games and giving away some prizes,” Charles said.

Back on W. Parkway Avenue, Leslie Weis-

man was taking in the sights and sounds with her children Kate, 10, Kameron, 5, and Jill, 4.

Some of the houses had elaborate Halloween features, including one with a smoke machine in the front yard that blew a dense fog over three makeshift tombstones.

“I think it might be somewhat of a competition, with all of their decorations,” Weisman said. “You can tell they’re really putting a lot into it.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

GUILFORD COUNTY – Health officials have given good reviews to a Medication Take Back event earlier this month.

The county department of public health and the sheriff’s department sponsored the event Oct. 16 in Greensboro and High Point.

Seventy-two people turned in more than 1,100 containers of medications, including more than 25,000 tablets and capsules.

All the items were destroyed under the supervision of the Sheriff’s Department.

“We were very pleased with the turnout for this event. It is clear the public appreciated the opportunity to safely dispose of these items, protecting their families and pets from accidental poisonings, while also safeguarding our environment,” said Health Director Merle Green.

Green earlier said that people often have asked health officials how to dispose of expired or unneeded medications.

To discard unneeded medications follow these steps: • Pour medications into a plastic bag with a seal. If the medication is solid, crush it or add water to dissolve it. Dilute liquid medications with water.

• Next, add cat litter, sawdust, coffee grounds or something similar to the plastic bag so that children or pets would not want to eat the contents of the bag.

• Seal the plastic bag and put it in the trash.

• Recycle the prescription bottle if possible.

• Finally, remove and destroy the prescription label with personal identifying information before you recycle or throw away the container.

New magazines coming to Enterprise readers

BY TOM BLOUNT EDITOR

HIGH POINT – Readers of The High Point Enterprise this week will begin receiving two magazines (in addition to USA Weekend) with their newspaper.

Enterprise Publisher Mike Starn announced that American Profile will be distributed with the newspaper every Tuesday. American Profile is a four-color slick national magazine with content that will have a familiar feel to it for

readers in the greater High Point area through its strong editorial focus on hometown life.

Using everything from regionalized calendars of events to profiles of hometown heroes, American Profile’s editorial content will celebrate the people, places and things that make America great, Starn said, and each issue will profile one of America’s great hometowns – perhaps one in this area, or one just up the road.

The magazine also will focus on

health trends, entertainment, current issues and celebrities with hometown ties.

“We’re happy with the regionalized component of American Profile,” Starn said, “because it will be a great addition to the intensely local news and features we already provide.”

In addition, the Enterprise will bring readers Relish, a new monthly food magazine dedicated to celebrating America’s love of food, including recipes, useful cooking tips and techniques,

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

healthy cooking ideas and the latest in kitchen and household gadgets.

“We believe a magazine devoted entirely to food and cooking with an approachable and inviting format will connect with America’s renewed interest in family meal time and get-togethers,” Dick Porter, president and CEO of Publishing Group of America, told the Enterprise.

Relish will be distributed as part of the Enterprise the first Wednesday each month.

Innocence panel gets funds for DNA testing MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

A state commission that investigates claims of innocence is getting more than $500,000 in federal money to test DNA evidence in some of those cases.

The National Institute of Justice, an agency in the U.S. Department of Justice, awarded the N.C. Innocence Inquiry Commission a $566,980 grant.

The money will be used to hire two staff attorneys and finance training, supplies, expert witnesses and DNA testing.

Kendra MontgomeryBlinn, the commission’s executive director, said that the grant will allow the commission to go after more cases in which there is the possibility of DNA evidence.

The commission was created in 2006 after several high-profile convictions were overturned, including one in Winston-Salem. Darryl Hunt served 18 years in prison for the 1984 murder of Deborah Sykes, a copy editor at The Sentinel, Winston-Salem’s now-defunct afternoon newspaper. In 2003, Hunt was exonerated by DNA evidence.

North Carolina is the only state to have an independent panel investigate convicted felons’ claims of innocence and initiate reviews that could lead to overturned convictions.

The commission has reviewed 557 innocence claims since it was created three years ago.

Blacks still drawn to Islam despite raids

BY JESSE WASHINGTON AP NATIONAL WRITER

By now, Sekou Jackson is used to the questions: Why does he need to leave a work meeting to pray?

Don’t black Muslims convert to Islam in jail? Why would you even want to be Muslim? “It’s kind of a double whammy to be AfricanAmerican and Muslim,� said Jackson, who studies the Navy at the National Academy of Science in Washington. “You’re going to be judged.�

Jackson’s struggle may

have gotten harder when the FBI on Wednesday raided a Detroit-area warehouse used by a Muslim group. The FBI said the group’s leader preached hate against the government, trafficked in stolen goods and belonged to a radical group that wants to establish a Muslim state in America.

The imam of the group’s mosque, a black American named Luqman Ameen Abdullah, was killed in a shootout with agents.

Although the FBI was careful to say those arrested in Detroit were

not mainstream Muslims, it has accused other black Muslims of similar crimes, most recently in May, when four men were charged with plotting to blow up New York synagogues and shoot down a military plane.

Yet the Muslim faith continues to convert many average AfricanAmericans, who say they are attracted by Islam’s emphasis on equality, discipline and family. “The unique history AfricanAP Americans have faced, Sheikh and Executive Director for Quba Inc., Anwar Muhaimin, poses for a photograph we’re primed for accept- at the Quba Institute Mosque in Philadelphia. Muhaimin was born into a Muslim faming Islam,� said Jackson. ily after his parents embraced Islam in the 1950s.

We must fix our broken health care system Our health care “system” is broken in many ways, too numerous to mention here. Some particularly egregious examples: In many states, insurance companies can still discriminate on the basis of gender – and not just on costs. In some states, maternity care is not covered because pregnancy can be seen as a “preexisting condition.” It’s even legal in some states to deny a woman coverage because she’s been a victim of domestic violence!

That’s not right. Nobody in America should be treated that way. With health insurance reform, the days of discrimination based on gender will be over.

Additionally, insurance companies will be banned from denying coverage because of a pre-existing condition, or dropping your coverage when you get sick and need it most. They will have to cover preventive care like mammograms and pap smears. And they will be forced to abide by yearly caps on how much they can charge you for out-of-pocket expenses.

But health insurance reform will not become reality without

With health insurance reform, the days of discrimination based on gender will be over.

OUR MISSION

The High Point Enterprise is committed to this community ... and always will serve it by being an intensely local newspaper of excellent quality every day.

ou have the opportunity to read a lot about the High Point Market on today’s opinion and commentary pages.

That’s as much by coincidence as it is by design.

Even though the fall 2009 session closed 10 days ago and most of those who were in the city just for the event have gone home, the High Point Planning & Zoning Commission has kept market a hot topic with its unanimous approval Tuesday night of a market district plan.

Conversations – at the water fountain or coffee station at work, over lunch, at bars after work, in restaurants at dinner time and elsewhere – indicate that, even without P&Z favorably recommending the plan to City Council and its public hearing at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 16, evaluating market still is an exercise that many in the greater High Point area are going through.

It’s obvious to even the casual observer that the number of folks attending market don’t closely match the number of those who registered and don’t make up anywhere near the volume of visitors at market during the late 1990s and early 2000s when attendance totals of 80,000 or more were tossed around.

Eyeball estimates of empty showspaces by many people who participated in the fall market range anywhere from 10 percent to 20 percent. Granted, that’s a lot of vacancies and “downer” statistic until you realize that, even if the empty space rate is 20 percent, some 9.6 million square feet of showspace very well could have been in operation during market.

Some of the showroom buildings on what might best be described as the fringes of the market area – the former Mitchell Gold building on the south edge, Center Point on Russell on the east edge and the former Bevan Funnell on the northern edge, for three examples – and some right in the thick of things – the former Guilford County Courthouse at S. Main Street and W. Greene Drive, Independence Hall and the building just north of it on N. Main Street, Hamilton Market (with only four small showspace tenants) just across the tracks from Showplace’s rear-end, and the Natale building at 400 English Road (which had just one tenant) either sat empty or were sparsely occupied.

On N. Wrenn Street, the former Keenan Manor building and the former showroom complex (First United Methodist Church property) that housed Garcia Imports and another showroom. Quite a few other freestanding showroom buildings were shut-

tered during market.

There were empty showspaces in almost all of the multiple showspace and structures, although some of them were walled off so you wouldn’t necessarily notice the vacancies. In other showOPINION room buildings, “walkways” between fewer exhibitors Tom were widened and temporary Blount spaces appeared considerably ■■■ larger during the fall market than they had been just a few markets back when more exhibitors were showing there.

Such conditions offer challenges, even major challenges, for market but, keep in mind, they also provide opportunities.

Quietly, but I believe wisely, High Point Market Authority chief Brian Casey and others have been opening market’s doors to what years back most probably would have been scoffed at by market leadership.

As you may or may not be aware, the High Point Design Center – four companies at 200 Steele, eight at Market Square, three at 220 Elm, six at Hamilton Square, five at IHFC, 21 showrooms in the Hamilton-Wrenn Design District and 19 in free standing showroom buildings – has been giving buyers, designers, decorators and others “year-round to the trade” opportunities, as the market area opens its collective arms to more than the typical High Point Market attendee. Believe it or not, Buick – yes, the car division of General Motors – had quite a presence at market, using its vehicles for “go anywhere” shuttles, encouraging people to experience its new automobile design concepts and sending two designers all over market to gather ideas they could use in designing the interior of Buicks that could/should be rolling off the assembly lines for 2012. Hopefully, Casey will tell you more about that venture in a column of his own.

So, even if market attendance isn’t what it once was, even if there aren’t quite as many exhibitors, if the number and size of some empty spaces are easily visible, if the number of media representatives attending market these days dwindles, the old fellow (he’s 100 years old now, you realize) we now call High Point Market still has plenty of energy and constantly is striving to grow in a variety of directions. It’s still the engine that keeps High Point the Furniture Capital of the World. Go market!

YOUR VIEW POLL

Market suffers with economy but remains best in the world

Revise the market Y overlay lines he concept is excellent. The purpose is important to the city’s future. But the lines for the proposed market overlay district addition to High Point’s planning and zoning ordinances need work.

As proposed and as approved last week by the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission, the overlay district excludes a significant amount of property in the northwest quadrant of High Point’s downtown. And it excludes numerous properties that have been developed as home furnishings showrooms.

The City Council, which will review the market district proposal this month, should redraw lines and include the bulk of showroom properties in this area that were excluded originally.

By redrawing lines and adding part of the northwest quadrant – which includes larger showrooms such as Stickley Furniture, Randall Tysinger Antiques and Union Square and smaller locations such as Adams Furniture and Wright Place – the city can make the district’s design more logical geographically and avoid causing much ill-will, needless controversy and possible legal actions.

We recommend drawing a boundary on Church Avenue eastward to N. Wrenn and westward on Church to Pine Street, then south on Pine to English Road, then west to Lindsay Street and south along Lindsay to High Avenue. Additionally, the Stanford showroom at the southwest corner of Westwood and N. Wrenn also should be included.

Adopting the overlay district (with our recommended additions) will formally, clearly define the market’s showroom district, allowing development of adjoining properties for non-showroom uses. Containing showrooms to this district and stimulating development in the non-showroom areas will provide future benefits to the city and the market.

This market planning and development move has been needed for years, and it is crucial that the district boundaries be applied correctly.

Our recommended changes will do that.

although I’m not sure why that is a concern. Here are answers to questions that are being asked as I meet people each day: • master’s degree in business administration.

• real estate business owner.

• voice of the citizens against unfair ordinances, taxes, fees and fines.

• wants to change ordinances to allow businesses to grow and allow unlimited yard sales so you can keep food on your table during this high unemployment.

• promote Thomasville and its businesses.

• believes continuity is through a comprehensive plan for Thomasville not through council people.

• will keep you informed truthfully and factually.

• recommends all city paid employees making $36,000 annually must live in the city limits.

To quote a cliche, when problems occur the buck stops at the city manager’s office.

The mayor’s office is more than just cutting ribbons and being a good will ambassador. According to the state of North Carolina, it is held as the CEO of Thomasville.

The CEO of any business helps the business grow.

I look forward to being Thomasville’s next mayor and will strive to improve all areas of Thomasville, not just Main Street. With the help and ideas of citizens, the city can become more than a bedroom community. This Election Day, get out to vote and vote for Terry Hill as mayor and no on extended terms. Thank you!

North Carolina’s state treasurer must earn our trust

“W

ho Do You Trust?” was the name of a television game show in the late 1950s. Who would the average North Carolinian say they trusted today? Recent polls report people don’t trust politicians much, but there is also healthy distrust for many in business, the health field, nonprofits and even religion.

Leaders in today’s reality are coming to understand that they must confront and speak truth to potential problems in order to gain and maintain people’s confidence.

State Treasurer Janet Cowell is currently facing two challenges that could affect her trust level in North Carolina.

The first involves the state’s former chief investment officer, Pat Gerrick, who was fired by Cowell earlier this

year. Responding to requests from the fourth estate, Cowell’s office released documents showing Gerrick had been offered favors by firms MY SPIN doing business with her agency.

Tom Cowell stated Campbell that she would ■■■ not respond to questions as to why Gerrick was fired, citing state personnel laws requiring privacy in such matters.

Gerrick, on the other hand, has not felt that same restraint in responding to accusations.

When does the well-being of the state trump privacy rights for one individual? The treasurer has sole responsibility for investing approximately $60 billion dollars. Some of the

firms wanting state money are willing to do most anything to get the state’s business. We want to know what is and isn’t acceptable in the treasurer’s office.

In a press release dated Sept.

29, Cowell announced reforms aimed at “transparency, ethics and accountability,” but stopped short of directly responding to the accusations made about Gerrick or in telling us her boundaries for employee and financial company relationships. While saying she has adopted Gov. Perdue’s ban on gifts, we haven’t heard enough from Cowell. She could go a long way in establishing trust for herself and her agency by getting in front of this issue.

Cowell now oversees the 10th-largest pension program in the nation. For the first time in decades, these plans are not

fully funded, slipping to 99.3 percent, meaning that contributions plus investment earnings are not sufficient to fully meet all the promises made to teachers and public employees. So far this isn’t a serious problem, but it is a serious concern to present and retired public employees who count on these pensions. Recent stories of failed pension plans have many fearful.

As the plan gets larger, markets become more erratic and contribution levels more volatile, many organizations are faced with either defaulting or changing their plans. A large number have shifted from the traditional defined benefit plan to a defined contribution type of program. Simply stated, new employees coming into the plan will not get fixed incomes; their pensions will be based on

contributions plus earnings in their individual retirement account.

Cowell is obviously aware of this threat and has wisely formed a study commission to make recommendations to the state. We look forward to their recommendations. The stakes are high and outcomes are critical to many. These are early tests of Cowell’s leadership in upholding her fiduciary relationship to both public employees and the state. If there is one department in state government in which we need trust it is with the keeper of the public purse.

Ready to lead Is the Republican Party prepared for action if it wins Congress next year?

W

e are nearly a year into the Obama presidency now. Yet, with each passing day, this administration becomes increasingly focused on the issues that matter less, not more, to the average man on the street. Instead of building on big ideas with concrete details and personal leadership, the White House has chosen to focus instead on its fringe agenda.

Hey, it’s tough to ignore a group that clamors and mews every day of the week and twice on Sunday. But gays in the military?

The Olympics coming to Mob Town, USA? And better still, declaring war against a television network? These are our new national priorities?

Just because Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow Opinion and MSNBC don’t talk about Iran or the federal Armstrong deficit, doesn’t mean the Williams White House should squint its eyes to these issues.

There’s no question 2010 is not coming into focus as White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel sketched it. Unemployment is hovering at double-digit levels, despite a cash infusion into the economy so large Donald Trump would blush with embarrassment. President Obama’s own approval numbers are bogged down by a frustrated electorate looking for any sign that the debt he foisted on their great grandchildren’s backs will pay dividends today.

And what happened to those promises to withdrawal from Iraq and to close Guantanamo Bay? Congressional Democrats must now face the consequences of the sins of their political father, and many are bracing for a day of reckoning of biblical proportions unless some issues turn again in their favor. Political analyst and election predictor extraordinaire,

----

Charlie Cook, doesn’t see that happening so long as unemployment remains more than 9 percent.

Writing in “Cook Political Report” last week, Cook estimates that a dozen Senate seats and 110 House seats are potentially in play, with 75 of them held

by Democrat incumbents. “Remember that open seats accounted for 40 percent of Democratic losses in 1994, the last Republican wave election,” he writes. “The number of Democratic retirements in competitive districts could make the difference between a bad night and a horrible night for the party.”

In less than eight months, Democrats have made the 2010 elections a footrace.

A Gallup poll from October showed support by political independents steadily shifting from Democrats to Republicans, with the Republicans now favored 45 percent to 36 percent. Less than four months ago, independents were evenly divided. Exacerbating the problem for the Democrats is their sagging congressional approval overall. The same Gallup survey showed just 21 percent of Americans approve of the Democrat-led institution, with a full 72 percent disapproving.

The balance-of-power question in Washington now may be one of “when,” not “if,” for the Republicans. In the wake of the 2008 cycle, analysts from all stripes thought the Republicans would be doomed to wander in the wilderness of the minority for at least a decade, if not longer. Today, that timeline appears to have narrowed considerably.

But are they ready for such responsibility? If the recent past is prologue, I’m not optimistic.

The Republican Party has failed to exert bold leadership. Too often the party seems more focused on criticizing its enemies than on conceptualizing new policy objectives. Most disconcerting is the Republicans’ lack of fiscal leadership.

House Republican Leader John Boehner recently summed up this sanguine attitude when he wrote, “Republicans lost our way on fiscal responsibility when we held the majority in Congress.

Since then, we have held firm to our commitment to show the American people we learned our lesson by offering better solutions to hold the line on spending, rein in red ink and get the nation’s fiscal house in order.”

But what happens when Republicans

are suddenly thrust again on the leadership stage?

In his last term in office, President George W. Bush increased discretionary spending – spending that has nothing to do with national defense – by almost half. The so-called party of fiscal conservatives outspent President Bill Clinton across-the-board. Did the Republicans think we wouldn’t notice?

The world economy depends upon a fiscally solvent United States. But an economically healthy U.S. can’t exist on paper only. It’s almost as if congressional leaders have accepted that the American empire is sputtering to ruin and so they enter a state of denial, arguing “it’s just on paper” and that new spending initiatives are “just rounding errors.”

That’s weak-minded rationalization, not leadership. It is here that the trepidation of independent voters is most evident. And the party that acts on their long-term concerns over spending will hold the majority for a generation.

This is a unique time in this country’s political history. America’s independent voters – that vast middle of the country who fled from Republicans earlier this decade – are now returning, yet with severe trepidation. If the Republicans are to capture the hearts and minds of this broad cross-section of the voting populace, they must do more than run an endless loop of “We’re not as bad as they are.” Binary politics got us in this mess, and tearing down your opponent doesn’t make you a more capable leader.

Let’s hope this rousing point is not lost on the Republican Party, or a great opportunity will slip through its fingers.

‘Coming to life’ in downtown takes vision, enterprise

BY ELIJAH LOVEJOY

I

walked the High Point Market for the first time two weeks ago. I got to flash my badge, talk to exhibitors and smell the air of bustling downtown activity. Ironically, ever since I arrived in High Point three years ago, I’ve been told, “Don’t go downtown during market. It’s a zoo down there.”

In reality, the market was more like a gently bustling day in any mid-sized southeastern city. I guess “zoo” is a relative term.

I am by nature an observer of culture and by training an observer of history, courtesy of Erskine College in Due West, S.C. Though I do not consider myself particularly smart, it has not been hard to pick up on the subtle tension most High Pointers feel toward their downtown. On the one hand, we lament buildings that remain closed and empty most of the year. On the other, we wistfully remark how nice it is to see downtown “come to life” during the High Point Market.

GUEST COLUMN

“Come to life” is a rich phrase. Marketing managers will tell you not to use it because it implies something was dead before it “came to life” and death makes people uncomfortable. Regardless, there is the seed of a dream in the phrase “come to life” and more than just a dream. One person tried to buy a downtown showroom and make it a wine bistro. Another person tried to pull together a special event and invite the city. A third person …

These unrelated stories cascade as if told from the same script and usually end with aspiring entrepreneurs departing for more tranquil pastures, latent dreams with them.

After hearing so many wishes for life and ventures for renewal, a natural question emerges: “If so many people want something to happen in downtown High Point, then surely something can happen?”

In business terminology, end-

less anecdotes of wishes for life are illustrative of a market, albeit an untapped one, for things coming to life.

So what’s the problem?

That’s the million-dollar question, which I don’t claim to answer. However, following are two helpful guideposts on the road to renewal as the city “comes to life” year-round.

First, in Luke 10, Jesus sets forward what is commonly called “the man of peace” principle.

In this teaching, Jesus tells his disciples to go to a city and find a man of peace, someone who welcomes them, receives them and hosts them to carry out Jesus’ ministry in that community. If the disciples do not find a man of peace, Jesus instructs them to move to the next town.

In other words, don’t try to force open a locked door. Look for a door that opens naturally and welcomes you in. That’s the place to be.

What does the man of peace principle have to do with downtown renewal? Downtown High Point hosts an important $1.2 billion a year

industry called the High Point Market. This industry will remain vital to the world and our local economy for years to come, and High Point should be thankful for it. However, unless there are significant changes to the year-round, closed-door, lights-out policy for furniture showrooms, the downtown furniture district will not be the place local High Point culture “comes to life.”

This district is not a “man of peace” for the vision of yearround renewal. Not insignificantly, High Point City Council has begun looking north toward the Uptowne district as a new center for local city life.

Looking north is a wise move, if Uptowne stewards well the community’s trust.

The second guidepost for downtown “coming to life” surfaces from High Point’s history. Between 1882 and 1883, High Point’s newspaper changed names and owners multiple times from The Pioneer to Farm & Fireside.

In 1884 Edwin Steele, William Blair and William Richardson

bought the paper and changed its name to the High Point Enterprise because High Point had developed such a reputation for being an enterprising city.

Rarely has the road forward been so clearly marked by the footsteps on the road backward. It took someone with vision, leadership and enterprise to build the first IHFC building and grow High Point’s furniture market to surpass New York, Grand Rapids, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas and Hickory.

And it will take someone with vision, leadership and enterprise to build the next IHFC building, whatever that may be. The fact we are still wishing for things to “come to life,” while this wish remains unfulfilled, illustrates we are perhaps not as familiar with the history and name of our newspaper as we should be.

Dr. Peter Boling participates in a house-calls planning meeting on the Virginia Commonwealth University’s Medical College of Virginia Campus in Richmond, Va.

Virginia doctor touts house calls as health care answer RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – The doctor doesn’t look like much of a crusader, bent over the frail frame of 90-year-old Alberta Scott.

He has a lavender stethoscope strung round his neck and some serious bedside manner at work on this stubborn nonagenarian who wants to be anywhere but where she is: in a nursing home bed, hoping to heal and get back home.

“Squeeze my hand,” Dr. Peter Boling prods.

“Squeeze my hand. Come on. Hard!”

This is Boling’s day job, providing medical care to some of Richmond’s oldest and sickest patients.

A geriatrician and head of general medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center, he visits nursing home patients with a smile, and he leads a team of specialists who take to the road, medical bags in hand, to see patients where and when they need it most – in

cost Medicare patients in the country. The idea is not just cost-savings, but to provide a financial incentive to persuade more doctors to return to this kind of work. Mostly, it’s about people like Alberta Scott and the questions that first came to Boling’s mind when he heard she’d been admitted to an institution for treatment of a blood infection.

In a few weeks, if all goes well, can she go home? If so, who will ioned house call could take care of her? be a fresh answer to the modern-day health care reform dilemma.

There are house-calls programs here and there. San Diego. Boston.

The Veterans Health Administration cares for thousands in their own homes, saving money by reducing unnecessary hospitalizations and emergency room visits.

But Boling wants to bring house calls to the masses – up to 3 million of the most high-risk, hightheir own homes, before a crisis lands them in the ER or a nursing facility.

Boling and his team make house calls.

And now he is on a mission: To convince Congress that the old-fash-

Still working at 65 Study finds that recession makes it harder to retire DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Workers in more than half of U.S. households will likely be unable to retire at 65 at the same lifestyle they enjoy today, a new study says.

The Center for Retirement Research at Boston College says its latest analysis of household financial status shows 51 percent are at high risk of falling short of having enough money in retirement. That’s up from 44 percent in 2007.

The center’s National

Retirement Risk Index was developed with funding from Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. The index was first released in June 2006, when 43 percent of households were at risk of falling short of their preretirement standard of living. The measure was formulated using the Federal Reserve’s 2004 Survey of Consumer Finances, a triennial survey of U.S. households, which collected detailed informa-

tion on households’ assets, liabilities and demographic characteristics.

In the past year, plummeting home values and investment losses in retirement accounts have combined to make matters worse.

“We are clearly facing a retirement crisis – one that will continue to grow as younger workers age,” said the Center for Retirement Director Alicia H. Munnell, in a statement.

“To overcome today’s retirement challenges, people need help understanding financial topics so they can make reasonable financial choices throughout their lives.”

To come up with the latest index results, the center used the Federal Reserve’s 2007 Survey of Consumer Finances and factored in the $7 trillion decline in equity holdings and the $3 trillion drop in housing values over the past year.

Those two asset sources are key to providing workers with adequate retirement income today since most workers do not have an employer provided pension plan.

Instead, they must rely on their own savings and home equity.

The center concludes that even if the stock market bounces back, home

values are unlikely to return to pre-recession levels.

As Social Security’s full retirement age moves to 67, life expectancy increases and retirement savings continue to remain at inadequate levels, the outlook will get worse over time, Munnell concluded.

Retiring won’t become impossible, but it will require some thoughtful planning, said John Carter, president of Nationwide Financial Distributors Inc. Carter said many workers will need to save and invest more, reduce debt and work longer to maintain their standard of living in retirement.

She worked as a designer for 25 years, creating European-style clothing, and making a name for herself both in the states and internationally. After her agent

She opened her own factory on W. Green Drive more than two decades ago, where quality lingerie is produced by her 21 local employees.

Houghtaling designs all of her pieces, which range from elegant night gowns and lingerie sets to simplistic but feminine pajamas, with the same European fashion sense that she was born with.

NEW YORK (AP) – Verizon Wireless will start selling its answer to the iPhone – the Droid – for $200 this week as the company taps into the growing appetite for smartphones that go far beyond making calls.

The Droid could help Verizon retain its status as the nation’s largest wireless carrier and contribute to a turnaround of its manufacturer, Motorola Inc., which hasn’t produced a hit since the wildly popular Razr phone in 2005.

The new device also could give a boost to Google Inc., which used the Droid to unveil new mapping software that could challenge standalone navigational devices, sending GPS gadget maker Garmin Ltd.’s stock plunging.

Verizon revealed details last week after intensely advertising the device in recent weeks.

Verizon has been pointing out the features Apple Inc.’s iPhone lacks, such as a physical keyboard and the ability to run several applications at once.

With its largest marketing campaign ever, Verizon is targeting 15- to 35year-olds who are highly engaged with their gadgets for social networking, blogging and other online tasks.

WikiReader is pocket encyclopedia NEW YORK (AP) — Remember Encyclopedia Britannica? It had 32 volumes and took up 4 feet in the book case.

Now, you can have an encyclopedia that has the equivalent of 1,000 volumes. Yet it fits in your pocket, and it costs just $99.

There are few better illustrations of the staggering advance of digital

technology than the new WikiReader. It’s the size of a thick table coaster, and contains nearly the entire text of the English-language Wikipedia.

That’s 3.1 million articles, written and edited by volunteers around the globe.

The WikiReader is sold online and made by OpenMoko Inc., a Taiwanese company. The founder, Sean Moss-Pultz, says the

inspiration for the gadget comes from the electronic translation dictionaries that are common in Asia.

Now, a lot of cell phones can access Wikipedia, so why would anyone want a WikiReader? Well, the fact that the WikiReader carries the text on a memory chip, rather than using an Internet connection, means you can use it anywhere.

Extricate yourself from the online trap

BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

New York City’s Robert Johnson of Bittenbyazebra was job hunting online from April through July 2007. He landed 50 job interviews (and a fine position) by applying for ten jobs each day. Back at it again since June 2008, he says, “I’m lucky if there have been ten jobs to apply for each week. I could count the interviews on my two hands.”

OPENING DOORS If, unlike Johnson, you’re in IT, continuing to focus most of your effort online might make sense. If, like Johnson, you’ve taught yourself the webmonkey. com method of retaining a good resume format when applying online, you might be at a crossroad, wondering what to do.

How can you improve the odds when it’s still necessary to apply online?

Don’t allow online applications or be your exclusive vehicle. Take over your career through in-person marketing.

Review your focus. Do you truly know what kind of job you’re trying to get?

When you do, apply selectively. If a company posts a plum, run after it. Get a contact inside the compa-

SPECIAL | WORKWISE FEATURES

Robert Johnson, owner of Bittenbyazebra in New York City, reports a significant decline in jobs to apply for online over a similar period two years ago. Technical skills aren’t holding him back. What’s a job seeker to do? ny to identify the hiring manager. Use social media; call the company; or, in a pinch, drop by to get your answer.

If you don’t restore the personal in online applications, you’ll be reduced to an automaton.

The times require classic 101 Job Hunting: • Make contacts offline everywhere – your references, former colleagues, fellow alumni, professional associations, head-

hunters, everyone – and through social media.

• Build a pyramid by asking each person you meet for three names of people to contact. Call them up.

Ask to drop by their office for 15 minutes.

• Follow through. Follow through. Follow through.

Emphasize the standard job-hunting methods. Convince yourself it’s absolutely essential to do this and squeeze applying online around it, not vice-versa.

LURE OF COMPETENCE Taking the personal route frightens many people; so you might think that if you keep working harder, faster and smarter, you’ll beat the odds. Stop. You can’t do everything better and you really shouldn’t be doing everything. Tips for improving your online application are flooding the market, just like the applications. Here’s an easy tip from Lisa Johnson Mandell of In Hollywood

Productions in Los Angeles, which produces audio and video products, some for job hunting. Save your resume with your name rather than “resume.”

“It’s absolutely essential,” Mandell notes. “It’s so common and easy to fix, yet so unknown, and it can disqualify you immediately. Many employers delete applications from people who fail to label their digital resumes with their names. They reason that if

the potential job seeker is not bright enough to use their full name, they’re not bright enough to work for them.” Would it keep your application out of the trash folder?

Can you be perfect?

Consider this advice from Dawn Martinello of Monday Morning VA, a virtual assistant company in Harrow, Ontario, Canada, that receives all applications online. She’s developed a system that requires applicants to: • concentrate and pay attention; • ferret out the meaning and intent of an application; and • respond with care, not abandon.

Not everyone thinks it necessary to do all of these things, and that’s the point.

You can become an expert in online job seeking and make the overwhelming effort to do everything. You risk turning the process of applying online into an uncompensated job.

Doing this will cloud your thinking, contract your world and break your spirit. Remind yourself at least twice a day applying online is only a start.

HPCA takes state crown

BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

SOUTHERN PINES – The tears came early for Asheville Christian Academy.

A spike to the face, after all, is a painful thing, especially when delivered by Bethany Gesell.

High Point Christian Academy shed only happy tears Saturday – and not many of those, even, for all the squeals of excitement and joyous hugs – after winning the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association 2A volleyball title.

The Cougars, ranked No. 1 all season, topped perennial power Asheville Christian in four games at The O’Neal School to win HPCA’s first volleyball championship and third overall after baseball and boys swimming crowns last year. HPCA (34-3) played steadily throughout for a 25-17, 24-26, 25-14, 26-24 decision against an ACA squad in its 11th straight title match.

The Lions (24-4) took nine championships in that span, pushing aside the Cougars last year in the semifinals.

“We’ve had the potential, we’ve had the team, and something would always happen,” said Gesell, whose monster kill on the second point of the first game sent the Lions’ Grace George to the bench for several minutes. “This year we pushed through it, got over the hump, and we won. That was the best feeling in the world. I’ve never felt like this before because I’ve never won. I’m so excited.”

The junior finished with 30 kills, but got plenty of help. Senior Meredith Morris notched 12 kills and sophomore Kathryn Cox had eight, most coming from the pin-point sets of senior Megan Fary. She finished with 59 assists and also starred from the service line with six aces.

“It’s incredible to be with all these girls,” Hard work pays title dividend for Cougars. 3D Barnett said. “They mean so much to me.

To know we worked so hard and finished so strong, it just means everything.

Senior Victoria Barnett also came through We had the feeling that we were going to come with several huge runs from the service line out No. 1 in the end. That’s what pushed us.” and tallied seven aces. Sophomore libero Elshanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Hurricane rally shocks Demon Deacs

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – Wake Forest freshman linebacker Joey Ehrmann was brief in his comments when he spoke.

“We blew this one,” Ehrmann said. “That’s about all I can say.”

What the Demon Deacons blew was a prime opportunity to upset No. 18 Miami, squandering a 17-0 cushion and a 27-14 third-quarter lead as the Hurricanes escaped 28-27 on Jacory Harris’ 13-yard touchdown pass to Travis Benja-

min with 1:03 remaining to play.

The Deacons might have suffered a bigger loss than the defeat that dropped them to 4-5, 2-3 in the ACC. Senior quarterback Riley Skinner suffered what coach Jim Grobe said was a concussion while scrambling for a first down at the Wake 29 with 6:37 left while the Deacs were trying to nurse a 27-21 lead.

The lick broke Skinner’s face mask. Skinner made it back to the huddle, then dropped to one knee.

He went to the sidelines and was woozy enough that he couldn’t get clearance to return and fin-

ish an outstanding performance in which he guided the Deacons to four scores on their first five possessions of the game. Skinner threw for 349 yards and touchdowns of 3 and 44 yards and ran 7 yards for another. Grobe was unsure of Skinner’s status for next week’s game at Georgia Tech.

Grobe turned to little-used senior quarterback Ryan McManus to secure the victory. The Deacs got one first down and appeared to have another when it was negated by a late holding call that ultimately forced a punt.

Miami took over with 2:51 to play. They converted a fourthand-15 at their 42 on a pass from Harris to Aldarius Johnson at the Deacon 30. From there, the Hurricanes needed just two more plays to score. Matt Bosher’s extra point provided the margin of victory as Miami improved to 6-2, 3-2.

Wake drove to the Miami 43 in the closing seconds. Grobe called for Jimmy Newman to attempt a 60yard field goal that fell well short.

Newman also missed a 45-yarder but made tries from 23 and 42. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

APPALACHIAN ST. 52 FURMAN 27

Edwards sparks App. State GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) – Armanti Edwards rushed for four touchdowns and had two passing scores to lead Appalachian State to a 52-27 win over Furman on Saturday.

Edwards was 25-for36 passing for 355 yards and ran for 106 yards on 13 carries to help the Mountaineers (6-2, 5-0 Southern Conference) extend their conference winning streak to 17 games. Appalachian State has won six straight games.

Edwards also had rushing scores of 1 and 5 yards. ASU’s Matt Cline had eight catches for 122 yards.

TOP SCORES

omething rare will happen Monday night at the Superdome in New Orleans.

The Saints (6-0) play host to the Falcons (4-2) in a battle of the NFC South’s two superpowers.

Well, superpowers may be a bit of a stretch, but New Orleans and Atlanta are clearly two of the NFC’s best this season.

That doesn’t happen very often.

The Falcons played their first regular season in 1966 and the Saints followed in 1967.

Since that time, Atlanta owns just 11 winning seasons, New Orleans seven. Each team

has won three division crowns, while the two have combined for 15 playoff appearances and an 8-15 postseason record.

And 2002 marks the only time the teams posted winning records in the same season.

That’s not much to show for a combined 85 seasons of NFL action entering 2009.

But the worm may be turning.

With a potent offense led by Drew Brees and a fast-striking defense and special teams that shows a knack for forcing turnovers, New Orleans could be the Super Bowl favorite in the NFC. The Saints have never even

reached a conference title game before.

As for Atlanta, Matt Ryan ranks among the league’s best young quarterbacks and future Hall-of-Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez adds to the mix. The Falcons lost Super Bowl XXXIII to Denver in their only run to an NFL championship game.

I’m happy to see the Saints and Falcons step into the spotlight together.

It should make for a great prime-time showcase.

JAMESTOWN – Before Ragsdale took the field for its final regular season home game Friday night, 25 of the school’s seniors trotted out to midfield as honorary captains for the pregame coin toss.

With the Piedmont Triad 4A Conference on the line, Tiger fans figured to see several of the team’s older playmakers – including running back D-onovan Smith and Desean Anderson – spark the offense against Glenn. But when Smith was unable to find holes against the stout Bobcat line and Anderson found himself banged up and unable to perform at 100 percent, Ragsdale

turned to a couple unfamiliar faces.

Junior Barry Brown answered an early Glenn touchdown with a 5yard score for his only carry of the game and Deshawn Shouse recorded seven catches for 119 yards and a touchdown in the second quarter that proved to be the game-winner. “A few of my fellow receivers went down, so it put a lot on me,� said Shouse, also a junior. “I prayed before the game. I had to get my mind right. I had to show my coaches what I could do.�

Both Brown and Shouse clearly made an impression on coach Tommy Norwood. “Tyquan (Roberts) got hurt in practice Monday and we had already lost Luke Sonricker, so somebody

(in the receiving corps) had to step up,� said Norwood. “Barry’s a good little running back. He only knows one gear and that’s wide open.�

Glenn dominated the first quarter and quickly darted out to a 7-0 lead and trailed by only four points at halftime. The Bobcats were clearly motivated by renewing an old rivalry on such a big stage. The teams had not met in more than 20 years prior to Friday night and could not have been faced with any greater incentive for netting the victory. “If we would have won it, then the conference championship would have been ours,� Glenn coach Dickie Cline said. “It was a lot to play for. We’ve battled hard all year, we battled hard tonight.�

WALLBURG – Friday night’s MidPiedmont 3A Conference clash between Ledford and Southern Guilford looked like it was tailor-made to be dominated by a mighty-mite.

Instead, the really tall guy on the other side of the field was the biggest factor.

Ledford held 5-foot-5 phenom running back Warren Scott in check, limiting the area’s leading rusher to 86 yards on 18 carries. Ledford receiver Dylan Smith, at 6-foot-5 a tough matchup for any opposing defensive back, stole the show with eight catches for 131 yards and a touchdown. His 30-yard grab on a jump-ball in the end zone from quarterback Steven Fuquay gave the Panthers some breathing room

midway through the third quarter, and Ledford rolled to a 24-6 victory. The touchdown pass came on fourth-and-22 and finished a 12-play, 95-yard drive that made it 12-0.

With both running games sputtering – Ledford finished with 137 yards rushing to 104 for Southern – the Panthers had plenty of confidence to go to the air. “They’re a 3-5 stack, aggressive defense,� Ledford coach Chuck Henderson said of the Storm. “So we had to throw the ball. And I don’t want to say we’ve turned into a passing offense, but we’re throwing the ball 20 or 25 times a game.�

And why not? Fuquay only made one mistake on the night, tossing an interception in the Southern Guilford end zone late in the first quarter.

Southwest tries to keep the magic Justin Jones picked up three assists on alive in the postseason Tuesday at home goals to Andrew Daniel (two) and Gray at 7 p.m. against Western Guilford.

DePasquale as the Cowboys finished 20Central got a goal from Max Law, the 0-3 overall, 12-0 Piedmont Triad 4A. only one allowed by Danny Gillespie. Bi“First time in my career,� said South- son keeper Joel Chambers had 12 saves.

Smith, clearly Fuquay’s favorite target. “I have confidence in him every time he drops back, because he usually puts it right there where I can grab it,� Smith said.

Where he can grab it is generally a foot higher than defensive backs can reach. “Dylan’s a great receiver,� Fuquay said. “He’s got a big frame, great hands, pretty good speed; and the O-line held their containment very well. I just try to hit the target.�

Surprisingly, after its 0-3 start, Ledford now has a much bigger target. The Panthers are 3-1 in the MPC, 6-4 overall, and can win the conference crown with a victory at league leader Northeast Guilford on Friday. “I’ve been wanting this ever since I was a little boy,� Fuquay said.

HIGH POINT – Carver coach Brent David and the Red Raiders’ Rodney McKoy now have one more topic of conversation to discuss the next time the friendly foes get together.

David’s Yellowjackets snatched the assurance of a PAC 6 conference title from the grasp of T. Wingate Andrews Thursday night by virtue of a 21-0 shutout.

The Raiders could have clinched the championship with a win, but instead, Carver moves into the driver’s seat for it’s season finale Friday against Trinity.

The Yellowjackets (64, 4-0) control their own destiny, as the Raiders did Thursday, in that a win nullifies any chance Andrews or Trinity has of grabbing the conference’s No. 1 seed for postseason play.

A Carver alum, McKoy could not lead his Raiders to a gratifying victory in front of their home crowd due to several miscues on offense and three big plays surrendered by his defense. Three touchdowns – each in excess of 25 yards – gave Carver its 21 points.

David, who graduated from Andrews, watched with great pleasure as his offense took control of the contest early with two lengthy scores through the air that provided the defense with more than enough margin for victory in the shutout. The Yellowjackets allowed the Raiders to venture onto their side of the field on five separate occasions, but four of the Raiders’ eight offensive possessions ended in untimely turnovers.

Carver capitalized on one of two Raiders’ fumbles and a third-quarter interception by notching 14 points on a 26yard passing play and a 53-yard dash from running back BJ Lowery, which allowed the Yellowjackets to run out the clock in the game’s final five minutes.

Andrews (6-4, 3-1 PAC 6) plays at Wheatmore on Friday night.

No sweat: hard work nets HPCA state title DCCC storms to NJCAA volleyball f inale

W

hen Asheville Christian Academy sent the gamewinning point into the net, High Point Christian Academy’s players rushed the floor and skidded to a halt in a happy dog pile.

After all, what’s a few more floor burns, bumps and bruises now?

“More than anything, I know the sweat, the tears, the skin that these girls have left on the floor over the past four years,” Cougars coach Michelle Wilkerson said when asked what that moment meant to her. “The joy in their faces and the tears in their eyes right now, it’s priceless.”

The Cougars broke through for their first state championship Saturday after knocking on the door the past four seasons. Even the first-year varsity program reached the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association 1A finals in 2005.

When Wilkerson shifted from junior varsity head coach to varsity leader in 2006, bringing along an impressive eighth-grade hitter named Bethany Gesell and talented freshman setter named Megan Fary, she guided the Cougars to a 23-6 mark and No. 6 seeding in the 2A playoffs.

HPCA lost in the quarterfinals of the tournament that year, and again in 2007 during a 24-8 campaign, setting up last fall’s exciting run.

Just one problem: Asheville Christian, the nine-time defending state champion, got in the way in the semifinals, ending the Cougars’ season at 26-2.

“Last year we thought we were going to win,” senior Victoria Barnett said. “It hurt us a little bit, but we came back even stronger.”

And virtually intact. The Cougars also added impressive sophomore libero Ellen Fay this season, which opened with high hopes that never dimmed. High Point Christian’s 34-3 record included losses to Cary Academy – the undefeated

NCISAA 3A champ – along with private school quarterfinalist Wesleyan Christian Academy. The Cougars also stepped up to play public school 4A power SPORTS Northwest Guilford and got an “L” for Steve their troubles.

Hanf It all led up to last ■■■ week’s tournament finals at The O’Neal School in Southern Pines, and of course it would come down to No. 1 HPCA vs. No. 2 Asheville Christian.

In Saturday’s first game, Gesell’s cannon of a left arm put down seven kills, Meredith Morris served four straight points in the middle of the game and Barnett ended it with an ace for a low-key 25-17 decision.

Game 2 would be anything but.

Fary’s impressive serving gave HPCA a 14-10 lead before the Lions battled back from a 17-12 deficit to stave off game point when Gesell’s big block landed just out of bounds.

Asheville responded with four straight points for a 26-24 win that dramatically changed the tone of the match.

“It just made me want to come back harder,” Barnett said. “Serve harder, hit harder, play harder. We were not going to let them win.”

For all of Gesell’s flying kills – the 6-foot junior with Division I scholarship offers mixed in slams and tips over the net for 30 in all – HPCA needed help in Game 3 to turn the tide. Sophomore Kathryn Cox came through with three big kills, and Barnett and Fary got hot from the service line as the Cougars roared to a 22-12 lead that became a 25-14 decision.

“Megan and Victoria, they were solid, consistent,” Wilkerson praised. “When we need them, they’ll get their serves in.”

Toss in the play of Morris, Cox

and Gesell up front in an offense powered by Fary, and it added up to a big advantage entering the final game.

“There were times in the game where Bethany would say, ‘Push me out a little, I want to go angle,’ or ‘push me more toward the antenna, I want to go line,’ “ Wilkerson said of Fary’s impressive play that netted 59 assists. “To be that precise and that confident in your ability... She’s a senior and she’s said all year, refuse to lose.”

The Cougars did just that, although Asheville refused to go quietly, leading 14-10 in the fourth before a run by Barnett evened things. With the match still in doubt at 23-22 Lions, Gesell sent a kill to the back line and Fary scored an ace to make it 24-23 Cougars.

Asheville tied it before two straight mis-hits gave HPCA a 2624 victory to set off the celebration.

“It’s the best feeling in the world,” Fary said. “I’ve never felt this excited before, especially knowing all the girls are in it together and we worked so hard together. I’ve dreamed of this ever since I started playing volleyball in sixth grade.”

Between those first hugs and the next ones that involved the championship trophy, Gesell, Fary and Morris were awarded their certificates for being named to the all-state team. The honor was the second straight for Fary and third for Gesell.

The trophy was the first for all of them.

“Everybody has been giving everything they’ve got,” Gesell said. “Everybody’s got the bruises and scars to show it. It was a team effort, big-time.”

They may have a few more dings in the aftermath of that celebration. It’s doubtful they’ll notice. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Jimmie Johnson admits to doubts

I

n so many words, Jimmie Johnson admits to having a severe case of the “what-ifs.”

Johnson should be relaxed going into today’s 500-miler at Talladega Superspeedway, having put together one of the hottest starts over the first six races in the Chase for the Championship and owning a 118-point lead over Mark Martin with their Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon sitting another 32 points behind.

Instead, he’s been worrying about what can go wrong. He’s worried about the prospect of the big wreck lurking around every bend at Talladega and the fact that Gordon won in the spring at the next track on the schedule, Texas, and Martin prevailed earlier in the year at the stop after Texas, Phoenix.

“Falling asleep lately has been difficult, I have to admit,” Johnson said.

“The brain wanders and thinks about a lot of different things. Especially when I come to a track like this where I just don’t want to miss an opportunity. I think one aspect that helps us stay calm in some respect is we think things through and we’re very well prepared when we come to the track. With this race you can look at probably eight scenarios

and then on top of that all of those scenarios can go out the window and may not even SPORTS exist.”

All that Greer Johnson Smith needs for a ■■■ real case of the jitters is to think about Kurt Busch and the seventh race of the Chase in 2004, the first year that NASCAR used the playoff format.

Instead of Talladega, the location for the seventh race that year was Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Busch entered with a 96-point lead over Gordon and was 107 ahead of Dale Earnhardt Jr., 207 ahead of Johnson and 224 ahead of Martin.

Busch suffered engine failure early and finished 42nd. Earnhardt wrecked and Gordon also ran into trouble, while Johnson went on to win with Martin second.

That day ended with Busch just 57 ahead of Johnson, 72 in front of Gordon and 81 in front of Martin. Busch went on to win the title after losing most of his lead.

After a talk with Chad Knaus, Johnson is ready to take everything as it comes today after he starts from the pole,

thanks to a washout of qualifying Saturday.

“At the end of it we were like, ‘You know, we can’t control anything,’ ” Johnson said.

“So we know the car is going to be strong, we know you’re going to be prepared, we know pit stops are going to be great, so let’s just have some positive thoughts.

Let’s just think about the good things that are going to take place, put the right spin on this and go racing, because you could worry yourself to death on how things will turn out here. All it’s going to do is shorten your fuse, potentially put the team on edge to where you make bad decisions, and we don’t need that.”

NEW TRUCK RULES NASCAR announced several Truck rules changes in 2010, the most noticeable being a switch to double-file “shootout” style restarts among lead-lap vehicles similar to what is used in the Cup and Nationwide series.

The series will go back to allowing refueling and tire changes at the same time on pit stops, scrapping the experiment of requiring teams to do the two functions on different laps. In addition, each crew will be allowed six members over the wall on stops instead of five.

Teams will not be al-

lowed to go more than two consecutive races without using an engine previously sealed by NASCAR, down from three races. And, teams will have the option of using a new spec engine in races on tracks smaller than 1.25 miles in length.

NO GRACELAND NASCAR has made its last trip to Memphis for the foreseeable future.

Dover Motorsports Inc., which operates Dover International Speedway and other tracks, announced that it is closing Memphis Motorsports Park and transferring MMP’s Nationwide Series and Truck series dates.

The Truck race moves to Friday, April 2, at Nashville Superspeedway, on the day before the Nationwide Series race there on Easter weekend. The Nationwide race at Memphis goes to Gateway Raceway outside of St. Louis on Oct. 23, giving Gateway two Nationwide events.

Dover Motorsports sought to sell Memphis to an outfit called Gulf Coast Entertainment, which announced plans to build a track near Mobile, Ala., and was expected to move the Memphis dates to the Alabama track. Gulf Coast never got the funding to complete the deal.

Another group is announcing plans for the return of racing at North Wilkesboro Speedway.

This time, the group might actually make it happen.

The USAR Pro Cup series announced Saturday that it intends to race Oct. 3 next year at the .625-mile track. The date on the first weekend of October was the track’s traditional spot on the NASCAR Cup schedule before the track was sold

and its dates divided between New Hampshire Motor Speedway and Speedway Motorsports Inc, which each owned 50 percent.

Speedway Motorsports became the sole owner three years ago.

USAR said that it is working with a new six-person ownership group that includes Benny Parsons’ widow, Terri, and former sportsman driver Bosco Lowe.

“We are extremely pleased to be the first national touring racing series to return to the true roots of stock car racing,” USARacing Man-

PASSAIC, N.J. – Davidson County Community College’s volleyball team advanced to the National Junior College Athletic Association Division III national championship tournament with a win Saturday in the District H tournament outside of New York City.

gia Tech each have one loss in league play, and their meeting on Nov. 14 in Durham could be decisive .

Seminoles outlast Pack, 45-42 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – Bobby Bowden and Florida State played in front of the smallest crowd at Doak Campbell Stadium in 16 years.

The 67,712 fans who did show up saw another wild victory for the Seminoles.

Receiver Bert Reed’s 3-yard touchdown run on an inside reverse with 1:36 left and lifted Florida State to a 45-42 win over N.C. State that produced 1,100 yards of offense. “You know Bert, he doesn’t like to punch it in like that,� quarterback Christian Ponder said. “And for him to lower his shoulder and go straight up the middle and punch it in was awesome.�

The Seminoles have won two straight after a three-game losing streak gave Florida State its worst start to a season since 1976, Bowden’s first year as coach in Tallahassee.

The poor start brought criticism on Bowden and deflated Florida State fans,

but the Seminoles (4-4, 2-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) are now back to .500.

They rallied last week for a 30-27 win at North Carolina after trailing by 18 points in the third quarter.

Ponder wasn’t surprised by the worst crowd at Doak Campbell since 1993 – about 20,000 empty seats.

N.C. State took its first lead at 42-38 with 3:50 left when Russell Wilson found Jarvis Williams for his third touchdown catch of the game.

The Seminoles answered with a gamewinning eight-play, 66-yard drive.

Wilson, the ACC’s all-conference quarterback last season as a freshman, hit on 20 of 30 throws and was also intercepted twice – the last pick by Florida State’s Jamie Robinson at the goal line ending the game.

Wilson threw for 349 yards and a career-best five TDs for the Wolfpack (3-5, 0-4).

Lions give Rams their best chance for a win

BY BARRY WILNER AP FOOTBALL WRITER

give Josh McDaniels the best start by a rookie head coach since the 1970 merger.

While everyone’s focus is on Lambeau Field and the return of Brett Favre, the game taking place one state east is being virtually ignored. The Rams-Lions matchup is noteworthy because it might be St. Louis’ only real shot at a victory.

Favre facing the Packers in Green Bay will be compelling theater. The winless Rams at the one-win Lions could be theater of the absurd.

But there is one angle that gives this matchup of bottom-feeders some cachet: Detroit would like nothing better than to have another franchise join it in the 0-16 club the Lions founded a season ago.

And looking at the 0-7 Rams’ remaining schedule – New Orleans, Arizona, Seattle, Chicago, Tennessee, Houston, Arizona and San Francisco – they have a good shot at gaining membership. While there are opportunities for St. Louis to win in the second half of the season, particularly against the struggling Seahawks and Titans, the Lions will provide the best opportunity.

“We don’t talk about streaks,” Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo said.

The team the Rams are thinking about has lost three straight since snapping a 19-game skid in Week 3 against Washington. Like the Rams, the Lions cleaned house in the offseason, bringing in an accomplished defensive coordinator, Jim Schwartz, as coach. Unlike Spagnuolo, the defensive mastermind behind the New York Giants’ championship in 2007, Schwartz has tasted victory in his new job.

Also today, it’s Denver at Baltimore; San Francisco at Indianapolis; the New York Giants at Philadelphia; Miami at the New York Jets; Seattle at Dallas; Carolina at Arizona; Cleveland at Chicago; Houston at Buffalo; Oakland at San Diego; and Jacksonville at Tennessee.

Atlanta is at New Orleans on Monday night in a key NFC South matchup.

Off this week are New England, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Washington and winless Tampa Bay.

SAN FRANCISCO (3-3) AT INDIANAPOLIS (6-0) No team has displayed more balance than the Colts, who have scored 179 points and yielded 77. They are plus-4 in turnover margin and rank ninth on defense. Peyton Manning is having as good a season as any in his three-MVP career, and early season injuries have not slowed the Colts. Instead, the replacements have performed so well that Indy now has enviable depth just about everywhere.

ATLANTA (4-2) AT NEW ORLEANS (6-0) Some of the juice was taken out of this Monday night matchup when the Falcons were belted by Dallas last weekend. Still, these are the two best teams in the NFC South and among the best in the conference. A shootout in the Superdome is not unlikely.

The Cardinals won 33-13 on the way to the Super Bowl. The loss sent the Panthers into a downward spiral that has continued so far this season.

N.Y. GIANTS (5-2) AT PHILADELPHIA (4-2)

Arizona, Carolina meet again

Seven hours or so before the Yankees take on the Phillies across the street in the World Series, these NFC East rivals go at it for first place in the division.

If RB Brian Westbrook can’t go, the Eagles must depend on talented youngsters on offense who have performed well and, at times, spectacularly. New York’s suspect secondary must deal with DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, LeSean McCoy and Brent Celek.

MIAMI (2-4) AT N.Y. JETS (4-3) It has been a tough few weeks for the hosts, who broke a three-game slide by routing the Raiders, but lost versatile running back-kick returner Leon Washington with a gruesome broken leg. The Jets also have run-stuffing DT Kris Jenkins sidelined for the season with a knee injury.

Now they must face the wildcat that ran all over them three weeks ago, and a young quarterback, Chad Henne, who did his best work against New York.

SEATTLE (2-4) AT DALLAS (4-2)

Seattle was off last week, giving the Seahawks a chance to heal a bit physically and emotionally. They had to MINNESOTA (6-1) AT GREEN BAY (4-2) swallow hard and place star left tackle Ah, the Favre Fest. The Vikings have Walter Jones (knee) on injured reserve, been great closers most of the season, and their other leaders – QB Matt Hasand were in position to beat the Steelers selbeck (ribs) and LB Lofa Tatupu (peca week ago before a couple of late turn- toral muscle) – still are banged up. overs for touchdowns. Adrian Peterson leads the NFC in rushing and has scored HOUSTON (4-3) AT BUFFALO (3-4) eight touchdowns. The Vikings lead the Two teams on the upswing, getting some league with 24 sacks, and Green Bay’s strong defensive play. The big difference Aaron Rodgers is vulnerable, having has been with the ball, where the Texans been taken down 25 times. are prolific (nearly 24 points a game) and Since a 30-23 loss at Minnesota, the the Bills are impotent (16 a game).

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) – The date was Jan. 10, 2009. Upstart Arizona stunned Carolina 33-13 in Charlotte, sending the Cardinals to the NFC championship game and Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme on a downward spiral that hasn’t stopped.

The teams meet again today, with Arizona riding a three-game winning streak and coming off one of its biggest regular-season wins, 24-17 last Sunday night at the New York Giants.

Delhomme, meanwhile, is clinging to his job. He threw five interceptions in that playoff loss to Arizona, and has an NFL-worst 13 this season.

He insists memories of that playoff debacle have been flushed away, although he acknowledges “there is not evidence that it has been, obviously, by the way I’ve played or we’ve played.”

Carolina (2-4) is coming off a painful home loss to Buffalo when the Panthers outgained the Bills 425-167 but fell victim to four turnovers, three of them interceptions. Two of the picks came when Delhomme overthrew receivers.

Now he will be facing an Arizona defense that brings blitzes from all directions, something that bewildered Seattle’s Matt Hasselbeck and New York’s Eli Manning. Combined, those two completed 29 of 66 passes (44 percent) for 335 yards with one touchdown and four interceptions. Arizona had eight sacks in the two games.

“Fast, aggressive up the field and playmakers,” Delhomme said of the Cardinals. “I don’t know any other way to put it. They are a heck of a defense.”

Lately, Arizona’s defense has outshined the Cardinals’ vaunted offense.

Before Arizona won at Carolina, it had been woeful in games played in the East, including regular-season blowout losses to the New York Jets and New England last season.

This year, Arizona is 3-0 on the road, with wins at Jacksonville, Seattle and the Giants. “I have no doubt that (the win at Carolina) contributed to our ability to win better on the road this year,” coach Ken Whisenhunt said.

The dog of my dreams I

t was a perfect October day, slightly overcast and with a light North wind. I’d taken Larry down to Beaver Pond for a little bird shooting. As I walked across the fields with my old Lefever across the crook of my arm, Larry quartered across in front of me, zigzagging back and forth across the strips of cover and occasionally looking at me to make sure he was on the right track.

Suddenly, he stiffened and began a low sneak, he moved SPORTS cautiously forward and then stopped in a Dick perfect point, showJones ing the instincts of ■■■ the six generations of pointing labs before him. He held, trembling, as I approached. As I passed him, a cock chukar sprung vertically with a cackle. The Lefever came to my shoulder without thought and the chukar folded. Larry, still poised and motionless, looked to me for the command to bring the bird to hand. “OK” I said, and he charged across the field and returned with the bird hanging limply from his mouth. As I reached down to take the bird ... the alarm clock went off.

Yes, flawless performance from 19-month-old dogs only happens in dreams. A wonderful outing at this stage of his development would be one when he just holds after the shot for the retrieve. Fact is, Larry is a great dog with lots of potential but he still has the same problems I’ve written about in earlier columns about him. He’s getting better but he still has a long way to go and a big pair of dog shoes to fill.

If you expect to have a really good dog who does what you want him to, you have to accept one thing. You can’t teach a dog anything. Dogs live in a different world than us and they run on a different operating system, to use a computer term. We’re only able to communicate with them on the simplest of terms no matter what we think. I can’t teach Larry anything. I can only put him in a position to learn it for himself.

When I take Larry into the bank, or the post office, folks are amazed at how well he behaves. He only behaves this well because he’s had the opportunity to learn what’s acceptable and what’s not in that situation. I’m lucky because the folks at the bank and the post office allow me to bring Larry in on a regular basis so he has an opportunity to learn how to behave.

PUBLIC SIGHT IN DAY FOR HUNTERS NOV. 7

---

It’s getting harder and harder to find a place to sight a hunting rifle in these days. The membership of PHA realizes that and welcomes hunters to come to their range and get sighted in. There will be a sight in day at Piedmont Handgunners Association on Saturday, November 7th. Membership is not required but the club asks for a donation to Hunters Helping Kids.

Caldwell Lead Sleds and Orange Peel targets are provided. Bring your rifles, slug guns, and ammunition and get a zero. There will also be a slug gun turkey shoot going on as well. The event begins at 11 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m. PHA is at 10346 Highway 150 South in Linwood, N.C. 27299 For more info on PHA, go to phashoots.com – DICK JONES

Larry needs different kinds of opportunities to learn to be a hunting dog. It’s hard to accomplish this when hunting seasons comprise only about a quarter of the year.

At best, Larry can only hope for maybe a hundred retrieves a year and considerably fewer opportunities to find and flush wild birds.

This is why a game preserve and pen raised birds are invaluable for him to learn the ropes in hunting.

This week, I really did take Larry down to Beaver Pond and we really did hunt. We didn’t have a single flawless flush, shot, and retrieve, but he really did learn something. As I said, I can’t teach Larry anything but because of this previous training, he has a basic understanding of what our objectives are. He knows we want to shoot the bird and collect it for the bag. He has a natural interest in the smell of things and the smell of a bird excites him naturally. It’s my job to put him in a situation to learn.

Our method this week was for me to put out a half dozen birds around the field and remember about where they were. Knowing the location of the planted birds is important in this because I need to keep Larry interested. Knowing where the birds are allows me to guide him to one if his interest starts to lag. I want Larry to be able to work over the field as he has on our walks but stumble across the scent of a bird from time to time. When he’s done this several times, he’ll begin to smell for the birds instead of just running in a pattern in front of me.

The drill is for Larry to find the scent of the bird and be rewarded by me shooting the bird, which gives him the opportunity to do the retrieve. I have no way of knowing how many cycles will be required for him to really learn the process.

I suspect he’ll pick it up fairly quickly since his parents were pointing labs. It will certainly take several trips. The trick here is to make him work for each bird we find while making sure he doesn’t lose interest. As with learning to do anything well, repetition is everything here.

In our exercise this week, Larry scented the birds and reacted as he should have. He did slow down and approach cautiously but he didn’t hold steady for the shot. Holding steady for a shot at a dove 30 yards away that he hasn’t smelled yet is different from holding on a bird that explodes in front of his face and rockets away to fall at the sound of the gun. He broke on every bird.

The process this week gave me insight to improve my process.

First, I need a shooter. It’s too distracting to try to manage a gun, a dog and keep the location of the birds in my head. Next trip, I’ll have someone shoot for me and put a check cord on Larry to manage him once he’s winded the bird.

Once he gets the restriction when he breaks, he’ll learn that holding for a flushed bird is as important as holding for one that’s shot out of the air.

My old lab, Ernie, is the standard by which Larry is judged.

I don’t remember where Ernie was in his training at 19 months, but I’m pretty sure Larry’s ahead. Ernie had an incredible nose and he knew how to use it.

Only time will tell if Larry has a great nose, he certainly hasn’t learned how to use it yet. By planting birds for him and working him over them, I’m attempting to accelerate this process.

There came a time with Ernie when things did work flawlessly.

I’m sure that when Larry and I have that kind of day, I’ll pinch myself.

Flyers ground Hurricanes, 6-1 PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Flyers defenseman Braydon Coburn waited five years for his first two-goal game in the NHL. Then he took care of the feat in 11⁄2 minutes.

Coburn scored twice and Scott Hartnell and Matt Carle each had a goal and two assists to help Philadelphia snap a two game losing

streak and send the Carolina Hurricanes to their eighth straight loss, 6-1 on Saturday.

“I’ve had a lot of close calls so far,” said Coburn, who has played in 227 career NHL games. “You just have to wait for your time.”

David Laliberte, playing in his first NHL game, and James Van

Riemsdyk each had a goal and an assist for the Flyers, unbeaten in their last six regulation games at home against Carolina.

Brandon Sutter scored for the Hurricanes (2-7-3), who are off to their worst start since 1997 – the franchise’s first season in Carolina – when they were 2-7-2.

ickson “Doc” Hendley’s efforts to provide clean water throughout the world may seem like a drop in the bucket sometimes, but that drop is starting to have a ripple effect.

Hendley, a 1997 graduate of Ragsdale High School – and founder of the nonprofit aid organization Wine To Water – has been named one of the Top 10 CNN Heroes for 2009, an annual recognition that highlights ordinary people who are making an extraordinary impact on the world.

Online voting will determine the 2009 CNN Hero of the Year, which will be awarded later this month. Finalists will each receive $25,000, and the winner will receive $100,000.

“I’m just completely honored and humbled by this,” Hendley says of his nomination. “I’ve seen some of the great things that the other nominees are doing, and I’m just humbled to even be on the same list with them.”

Wine To Water – based in Boone, where the 30-year-old Hendley now lives – is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing clean water to needy people around the world.

The organization achieves this through such projects as digging new wells, repairing old wells

“HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis are generally thought of as the main killers of children throughout the world, but waterborne diseases kill more children than those three combined,” Hendley says. “It’s also one of the biggest killers of all people, if not the biggest killer. You can attribute 10,000 deaths every single day to unclean water.”

Hendley first became aware of the world water crisis about six years ago, when he was bartending and playing music in nightclubs around Raleigh. In January 2004, he dipped his toe into the fundraising waters with a wine-tasting event – just to see if he could muster any support

for his cause – and was overwhelmed by the show of support.

“That first event was just a venue for me to tell people about the water crisis and to raise funds, and it was a huge success,” Hendley recalls. “Other restaurant owners came and asked me to do events at their place, too, and it all just immediately took off.”

Within six months, Hendley’s passion for the cause took him to Darfur, Sudan, where he lived for a year, installing water systems for victims of the government-supported genocide.

“Now we’re in seven different countries, and we’ve reached over 26,500 people with clean water through our organization,” he says. “We’ve drilled over 100 wells and installed thousands of water filters.”

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

The projects are impressive. In addition to its work in Darfur, Wine To Water built an entire water system for an orphanage in Sudan’s capital city, Khartoum, where the children and staff had been drinking from the same basin of standing water they’d been bathing in.

The organization has built and distributed bio-sand filters for villages throughout Uganda, drilled dozens of wells in Cambodia, installed a new running water system for a leper colony in India, and recently dug a well for an orphanage in Peru.

“We’re definitely making a difference,” Hendley says. “This past week we were in Peru, doing some filming for CNN, and they were filming a dirty river. I saw a village that had a bad situ-

Wife wants ‘I love you’ reserved for those she loves D

ear Abby: I have strong feelings about the word “love.” I use it only when I truly mean it. My husband’s family, however, bandies it about as a common word.

How does one respond when someone says “I love you” when you know he or she doesn’t mean it and is only saying it as a pleasantry? I hate saying it back to someone I don’t really love.

I feel the phrase should be reserved only when you are saying it from the heart. Any advice on what I should say, if anything at all? – Keeping Mum in Mississippi Dear Keeping Mum: Because you are part of the extended family, and family is supposed to “love” each other, the expected and appropriate response would be, “I love you too, darlin’!” But since you can’t bring yourself to go that far, just coo in return, “And you’re such a love to say that!”

Dear Abby: I know it may seem early, but this is the best time to start thinking about the Christmas holidays. Can you offer suggestions on what to buy for family and friends? Money is ADVICE tight in this economy, and lots of good folks are Dear out of work.

Celebrity Cruises introduces new activities NEW YORK (AP) – Celebrity Cruises is introducing a new program of enrichment seminars and activities on its ships called “Celebrity Life: Savor, discover, renew.”

Starting in November, new culinary experiences, learning opportunities, fitness classes and spa treatments will be offered on eight Celebrity ships.

Some will be fee-based, like acupuncture and Botox treatments, a “boot camp” fitness class, and a “Chillates” class that is described as more laidback than traditional Pilates workouts.

Other activities will be free, like scrapbooking workshops, stargazing parties and seminars on history, art, culture and architecture. Some of those seminars will be led

by Smithsonian Journeys, the educational travel program of the Smithsonian Institution.

“Let’s Dance” programs will offer free themed nights ranging from Latin music to the ’60s. But unlike traditional choreographed shows, guests will be invited to interact in the productions by joining the ship’s entertainers on the dance floor.

Each cruise will also host dance classes and competitions.

The ships will also offer Rosetta Stone’s wellknown language instruction courses, with a free group session onboard led by Celebrity staff.

Computer-based instruction is $24.95 per class, or $9.95 for two classes with a complimentary third class. An unlimited package is $99.95.

we stop for a moment, examine what’s really important about the Christmas season, and focus on that instead of spending money.

The time has come to seriously return to the basics. The most precious gift one can give is the gift of self. A meaningful example of the spirit of giving would be to volunteer some time as a family to serve food, or collect and distribute toys and clothing at a shelter or program for people who are in dire straits.

Dear Abby: After our father’s death last year, my brother, “Rex,” and I moved in with our mother to help her out emotionally and financially.

Rex and I have always respected each other’s privacy and have always supported each other.

Rex has put a lock on his door, which makes Mom and me feel as if he doesn’t trust us enough to respect his

privacy. We have never invaded his space or given him cause not to trust us. He is a caring, considerate person, financially stable, socially active, and helps Mom out with any repairs needed around the house. I love him dearly, but I am puzzled that he feels he needs to lock his room as if we are not trustworthy.

My feelings are hurt. Our family has never had trust issues before. What do you think of his behavior, and am I being overly sensitive? – Open-Door Sis in Mississippi Dear Sis: Yes, you are, so please stop personalizing it. Your brother is an adult, and adults are entitled to their privacy – which, by the way, your brother has sacrificed to some extent by moving back with Mom and you. Respect his boundaries. The lock indicates to me that he feels he needs some.

Meet Della and her 12 year-old grandson Raquan. After a family situation caused them to lose their housing over the summer, Della and Raquan found themselves at The Salvation Army, looking for a safe, stable place to stay. While providing them shelter, The Salvation Army staff has also helped Della find resources for permanent housing and part-time work.

Della and Raquan are now attending church services at The Salvation Army, something they plan to continue once they move into their own apartment. “The Salvation Army has been very good to us,” Della says. “They are friendly, and they really try to help you. Without The Salvation Army, I’d be on the street, and so would Raquan.”

In these difficult economic times, there are many individuals and families facing the same situation as Della and her grandson. Fortunately, the dollars you donate to the United Way of Greater High Point fund emergency services at The Salvation Army, so that instead of living on the streets, Della and Raquan are beginning a new and more hopeful life.

Join hands. Open your heart. LIVE UNITED.

Hidden blood loss can lead to fatigue D

ear Dr. Donohue: What are the causes of blood loss and fatigue in the elderly? If the cause is not found, what can be done? Will iron tablets help? – W.A. Most often, the hidden and painless loss of blood in the elderly and in all ages comes from the gastrointestinal tract – stomach, small intestine or colon. Tarry, black stools are an indication of such bleeding, in some instances. In others, the lost blood is so thoroughly mixed with the stool that people see no changes in it. However, the doctor or the lab can check for concealed blood with a simple test done on a stool specimen.

Scope examinations of the colon and the upper digestive tract are an excellent way of locating any bleeding sources in the digestive tract.

Fatigue is a consequence of blood loss. Red blood cells transport oxygen throughout the body.

A deficit of red blood cells creates an oxygen deficit, and people feel exhausted all the time. Oxygen is a source of energy.

If no source of bleeding can be found, then the doctor has to look elsewhere for an explanation of why the blood count has dropped. For example, blood can be lost from other places, like the kidneys.

Or blood cells can die prematurely. Red blood cells live for four months.

A large number of conditions can cause them to turn over more rapidly, and that leads to a drop in the blood count. This category of blood loss covers a fairly large number of anemias. Anemia, by the way, is a deficit of red blood cells.

Vitamin B-12, folic acid and iron are all needed for red blood cell production. Deficiencies in any of these bring on anemia and fatigue.

And finally, the bone marrow – the place where blood cells are made – can go on the blink. In that case, a sample of bone marrow will disclose what the exact problem is and how it should be treated.

Iron tablets will help only if the person’s red cell count is due to iron lack or blood loss.

Dear Dr. Donohue: Will you confirm some information given to me by a friend? She says women who are breastfeeding ought not to eat peanuts or peanut products like peanut butter. According to her, doing so can give the baby a peanut allergy.

Is this the case? – W.W. Peanut allergy is a serious problem for many children and for some adults. About 1 percent of North American children suffer from this allergy.

At one time, pregnant women and breastfeeding women were cautioned to stay away from peanuts and peanut products to lessen the risk of peanut allergy in their children.

Studies failed to prove that this is an effective prevention strategy.

If one parent or one of the baby’s brothers or sisters has a peanut allergy, it might be wise for a pregnant woman or a nursing mother to avoid peanuts.

Dear Dr. Donohue: Our 4-year-old grandson is in the intensive-care unit of a hospital with myocarditis. We know nothing about this or its outlook. Please help.

– N.W. ■■■

Myocarditis, inflammation of heart muscle, often comes from a viral infection of the heart. It can lead to heart failure and the development of dangerous heart rhythms. For that reason, children are treated in intensive-care units, where close monitoring permits quick intervention, should it be needed.

About 76 percent of children with this illness recover. Others will require a heart transplant, and some die from it.

The odds for recovery are in your grandson’s favor.

Exploring Savannah Historic squares, parks, homes give this Southern jewel its sparkle

S

AVANNAH, Ga. – Savannah was founded in 1733 and was one of America’s first planned cities, with a series of squares and parks that can still be enjoyed today.

But the reason for those public spaces might surprise modern visitors: British General James Oglethorpe designed them as part of a military grid so his troops could set up camp and have shaded meeting spots. The soldiers were there to keep the Spanish from advancing north to the English colony in Charleston, S.C., and Oglethorpe’s statue faces south, as if still keeping a watchful eye on things.

Originally the city had 24 squares.

It’s a remarkable feat of preservation that 22 are still in existence and one more is being restored. Surrounded by stately homes and beautiful gardens, they form the heart of a two-and-a-halfsquare-mile historic district with more than 2,000 historic or architecturally significant buildings.

The city’s preservation movement got a jump-start in 1955 from a group of women angry that the historic Isaiah Davenport House was about to be knocked down for a parking lot.

Eventually that home and many others were saved.

Today the area is one of the largest National Historic Landmark districts in the country. Most of the houses remain privately owned, but a few are open for public tours, including the

Davenport House. It dates to 1820 and is considered one of the best examples of Federal architecture in the area, with original plasterwork, a cantilevered staircase, a large collection of Davenport china and period furniture.

Another popular house for tourists is the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace, where the founder of the Girl Scouts grew up. The house was built in 1821; Low was born in 1860. It had more than 65,000 visitors last year, including at least 20,000 Girl Scouts whose visits earn them a special birthplace pin for their uniforms. Generally it takes about two years for a troop to reserve a

visit, plan for it and raise the necessary money.

The Mercer House dates to the 1860s but achieved fame in the late 20th century as home to the late art dealer Jim Williams, who was tried but never convicted in a fatal shooting there. The case inspired the book and movie “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.”

Savannah’s historic cemeteries include the Colonial Park Cemetery, which dates to 1750 but was occupied during the Civil War by Union troops who famously altered some of the dates on tombstones; the Mordecai Sheftall Cemetery, an early burial place for the city’s substantial Jewish population, which also founded a synagogue in 1733, Congregation Mickve Israel; and Laurel Grove Cemetery, which was designed in 1850 as a segregated graveyard, with one section for blacks and one for whites.

Savannah’s most famous cemetery is Bonaventure. It’s one of the most photographed cemeteries in the country.

Not only does it have a beautiful collection of camellias, azaleas, dogwoods, magnolias and old live oak trees, but it’s also where many prominent locals were buried. Its unique monuments and tombstones include one in the shape of a piano. The cemetery’s famous “Bird Girl” statue, which was featured on the cover of the “Midnight in the Garden” book, is now on view at Savannah’s Telfair Museum of Art.

Savannah’s Chippewa Square was featured in the movie “Forrest Gump,” one of several major motion pictures filmed in the city.

It was moved there to protect it from vandalism.

Savannah has a history in movies too, dating to a silent film shot there in 1915 called “Under Southern Skies.” Other movies shot in Savannah include “Forrest Gump,” “Roots,” and “Glory.” As you stroll through the historic district, you’ll pass by the place where Forrest Gump sat on a bench with a box of chocolates, telling his life story as he waited for a bus to take him to his beloved Jenny’s house. But the spot in Chippewa Square on Hull Street never had a real bus stop, and the bench used in the movie is in the Savannah History Museum.

Savannah’s tours include those devoted to the Civil War, art, architecture, African-American heritage, gardens, and of course ghosts, with a choice of transportation from limos, trolleys and buses, to horse-drawn carriages and

boats along the waterway. Savannah likes to call itself the “most haunted city in America,” and one ghost tour offers transportation by hearse.

But nothing beats seeing the city on foot. With all those beautiful parks, it’s easy to find a nice spot to sit for awhile and people-watch. Temperatures are mild even in winter, with daytime highs in the 60s not unusual. Stroll on down to the City Market or River Street for a drink, shopping, or something to eat.

A project now under development called Savannah River Landing will include hotels, offices, estate homes, condos, shopping, boat slips, a garden plaza and retail shopping, all along the waterfront. But developers say they’ll respect Oglethorpe’s original plans by leaving pedestrian-friendly spaces and blending in with the historic cityscape.

Ultimate road trip: driving around the world

BY NICOLAS RAPP ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

N

EW YORK – In November, I’ll be quitting my job and heading out on one of the last true adventures left on earth: driving around the world.

I’ll spend about a year on the road, starting and finishing in New York. When I can’t drive, I’ll ship the car by boat, then fly to the next stop to pick it up.

The route is sinuous. Cross Central America, then head down South America to Buenos Aires. From there, I’ll ship the car to South Africa, then drive north through Africa to Europe. I’m a native of France, so I’ll stop in Paris to get some paperwork done, then go east through Eastern Europe, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, and India. I’ll ship the car to Thailand, drive to Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia and Indonesia, and put the car on a final sailing home to the U.S. My blog about the trip, where I’ll post updates from the road, is called “Trans World Expedition: The year of living dangerously.” I hope it will be a good tool for people who want to do a similar trip.

It is scary to leave your girlfriend, your career, your apartment and people you know to have a year of waking up in unfamiliar places. Many people think I’m insane to quit my job when the economy is so bad. But I’m 33 and I’ve worked since age 18. I came to New York as an artist and ended up as an art director. It’s early enough in my life that I can take a year off, then come back, hopefully pick up my career and start a family.

I always thought I would buy a place in New York, but when you think about it, is there a better investment than traveling around the world?

Wouldn’t you be smarter after doing that? Wouldn’t you have incredible stories to tell your kids and grandkids?

THE ROUTE: My path will change depending on places I discover, tips, climate, where I can catch a boat, driving conditions, and visas. Staying out of trouble will also determine my route and how long I stay in one place.

Here are some problems I’ll face: • Darien Gap: This 100-mile-long area of swamps and mountainous jungle separates Panama and Colombia.

There is no road, no police or military.

The inhabitants are tribes, guerrillas and drug traffickers. Solution: Ship the car from Panama to Colombia, and go myself in a small plane over the jungle.

Pray that no emergency landings are required.

• Africa: Visas for Chad and Sudan are difficult to obtain, making westto-east travel impossible. I’ll need to get through Angola, but again, visas are hard to get. In Nigeria, I’ll have to worry about kidnapping, carjacking, roadblock robberies and other violent crimes. Solution: Get a visa for Angola

in South Africa, my first stop on the continent, and get across trouble spots like Nigeria as quickly as possible.

• Iran: Once inside the country, no problem. Great place, nice people, few incidents reported by travelers. But I worry about arguments between countries that could lead to border closings.

Solution: Get my visa in order and hope my government doesn’t get too excited about political events before I get there.

• Pakistan: Suicide bombings. Taliban insurgents. Imagine how much fun it will be to cross this country with New York license plates. Solution: Go as fast as possible, perhaps with the military escort some foreigners use when driving overland. I’m told the soldiers drive like New York cabbies.

• Asia: China makes overland travel expensive by requiring you to hire a government-approved “guide” to take with you. Myanmar’s borders are closed to overland travel. Solution: Ship the car from India or Bangladesh to Thailand or Singapore.

ACCOMMODATIONS: In order to afford a year on the road, there’s little choice but camping. I wish I could say I have no problem with scorpions in my shoes, and that whenever I catch a snake, I’m happy to have it for breakfast, but I can’t. After some research, I

discovered most overlanders in Africa use a rooftop tent. The cheapest are $850, but they let you sleep anywhere, out of the mud, and they pop up in minutes.

Other equipment: fridge for the car, stove that runs on unleaded gasoline, lanterns, water cans, small pop-up tent with portable toilet and shower. Added costs: $800.

THE CAR: In my opinion, only two vehicles can make the trip, Toyota Land Cruisers and British-made Land Rover Defenders. Both are tough, and you can find spare parts on all continents. Others, including American makes, are good quality, but you can’t find parts everywhere. Land Cruisers are used by the U.N. and other non-governmental organizations around the world. I got a clean 1996 LC with 92,000 miles for less than $7,000.

I can no longer count how many hours I spent getting the LC ready. I upgraded the suspensions so the truck could handle difficult terrain and carry all the equipment, including tools, extra battery, spare parts, cooking equipment, roof tent, water and gas cans, books and luggage. I installed a drawer system for storage.

Other equipment and modifications included a roof rack, reinforced front bumper, safety devices so people don’t steal my new home, bolting metal plates behind windows in the back to create a secure cargo area for my belongings, and bolting a safe to the frame. Added costs: $3,000. I budgeted $4,000 for repairs on the road, though I hope to use only a fraction of it. I did

nearly all the work on the car myself.

Shipping a car is expensive. I’ll have to do it at least five times, sometimes for 100 miles, sometimes between two continents. Shipping costs: around $7,000, plus $2,000 for my air travel while the car is at sea. Gas will range from 38 cents a gallon in Iran to $7.40 a gallon in Portugal. Add $5,000 for gas.

HEALTH CARE: This trip requires many vaccinations, some covered by insurance, many not. Getting them all in the U.S. would cost more than $500.

So I’ll get some of them in Mexico, my first stop, where it’s cheaper.

Yellow fever vaccination is required for South America and Africa; in fact, you need proof of the shot to get through many borders. The same is true in some African countries for the cholera vaccine. Hepatitis A requires two shots, hepatitis B requires three, so you need to start those early. Sometimes these can be bundled together with typhoid shots.

You need three shots for Japanese encephalitis, which is carried by mosquitoes in rural areas. Tetanus shots last 10 years, so you may need one of those, too. Your doctor will advise you to get a shot for rabies. If not, you can get immunized within two days of a bite.

I asked my doctor for a strong antibiotic to take with me, and for a letter authorizing me to carry a syringe in case I need a blood test somewhere and the local needles look shady.

There is no malaria vaccine. Pills to prevent infection have side effects, but if you get infected, you can take a heavier dose of the same drug. I’ll also take measures to avoid mosquito bites – repellant, net.

I have a first-aid kit, and if I need medical care, I’ll go to local doctors and hope it won’t cost much. I bought insurance in case an extreme event requires evacuation. I found a policy from InsuranceToGo.com that should run around $600 for the year with a $500 deductible.

BUDGET: My estimated total for the trip is $46,000, including car and tent; shipping the car five times while flying myself; gas and repairs; insurance and vaccinations. Other costs include $550 for visas; $300 for maps and guidebooks; $10 a day for food and $4,000 for campgrounds and occasional nights in hotels. I plan on spending less but prefer to take unforeseen events into account.

HEADING OUT: I’ve read about other people driving around the world, and their blogs and reports helped me prepare, especially with paperwork and vehicle modifications. Some of them got sponsors for their trips. But I didn’t want to have to find a reason to be on the road, like fighting a disease, when at the end, I am just curious about the world I live in.

And that’s it. I leave Nov. 15. Time to start a new episode of my life.

Red penguin stands on the balcony of 21c Museum Hotel, facing 7th street, in Louisville, Ky.

Louisville hotel wins top ranking LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – Wade Johnson has plopped down in plenty of hotels, but the business consultant ranks his stays at 21c Museum Hotel in downtown Louisville as a one-of-a-kind experience.

Turns out, that one-ofa-kind experience has a large following.

The 90-room boutique hotel – where contemporary art is an eye-catching theme – won the honor of top U.S. hotel in Conde Nast Traveler magazine’s 2009 Readers’ Choice Awards. It was quite a coup, since 21c is a relative newcomer and the winner is typically a well-known place in a bigcity tourist destination. 21c was followed in the rankings by The Peninsula in Chicago and the Mandarin

Oriental in Boston.

Johnson, a mergers and acquisitions consultant from Chicago, said there’s a “different feel” at 21c, which opened in 2006 in a series of renovated 19thcentury tobacco and bourbon warehouses.

Perhaps it’s the 4-foottall plastic red penguin sculptures manning parts of the hotel. Or the contemporary art seemingly on display everywhere – from the lobby to hallways to elevators and public restrooms. There are paintings, photographs, video art and sculptures ranging from whimsical to provocative.

“I love staying here,” Johnson said. “It’s fun, it’s quirky, it’s unique.”

Most of the artwork

comes from the private collection of the hotel’s husband-and-wife owners, Laura Lee Brown and Steve Wilson, and from their art foundation.

Ed Varela, in town from Texas on a business trip, had just checked in when he got his first look at a plastic penguin stationed near the front counter.

“Oh gosh, that’s different,” he said.

Varela planned to check out the art displayed in more than 9,000 square feet of exhibition space.

21c features rotating curated exhibitions and even has a full-time museum director.

“So far I’m really enjoying the scene,” Varela said. “I think it’s going to be a neat experience.”

JACKSON, Tenn. (AP) – Railroad engineer Casey Jones rode to glory and into American folklore trying to stop his Illinois Central passenger train before it hit a stalled freight train in 1900.

His was the only death that foggy and rainy night at Vaughan, Miss., and his fame was spread by a ballad

written by another railroader.

A museum dedicated to John Luther “Casey” Jones has just opened at Casey Jones Village in Jackson, Tenn., where he lived. The museum is in the same location where Jones’ home has been preserved.

Jones picked up his nickname because he was born in Cayce, Ky.

ADVICE 6E www.hpe.com SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2009 THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE

Holding child back a grade may not aid development Q

uestion: Is retention in the same grade ever advisable for a child who is not a late bloomer? How about the slow learner?

Dr. Dobson: There are some students who can profit from a second year at the same grade level and many who will not. The best guideline is this: Retain only the child for whom something will be different next year.

A youngster who is sick for seven months in an academic year might profit from another run-through when he or she is healthy. And as I’ve indicated, a late-developing child should be held back in kindergarten (or the first grade at the latest) to place him or her with youngsters of comparable development. For the slow learner, however – the child who has below-average ability – a second journey through the same grade will not help. If he was failing the fourth grade in June, he will continue to fail the fourth grade in September. The findings from research on this issue are crystal clear.

It is not often realized that the curricular content of each grade level is very similar to the year before and the

year after. There is considerable redundancy in the concepts taught; the students in each grade are taken a little further, but much of the time is spent in review. The arithmetical methods FOCUS of addition and subtraction, for example, are ON THE taught in the primary FAMILY years, but considerable work is done on these Dr. James tasks in the sixth grade, Dobson too. Nouns and verbs ■■■ are taught repeatedly for several years.

Thus, the most unjustifiable reason for retention is to give the slow learner another year of exposure to easier concepts. He will not do better the second time around. Nor is there much magic in summer school. Some parents hope that a six-week program in July and August will accomplish what was impossible in the ten months between September and June. They are often disappointed.

Question: I hear so much about

children who have ADHD. Can you describe this problem for me and tell me how I might recognize it in my son?

Dr. Dobson: The term ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, which is an inherited neurological syndrome that affects approximately 5 percent of children in the United States. It refers to individuals who are easily distracted, have a low tolerance for boredom or frustration, and tend to be impulsive and flighty.

Children with ADHD have a pattern of behavior that sets them up for failure in school and conflict with their parents. They have difficulty finishing tasks, remembering details, focusing on a book or assignment, or even remaining seated for more than a few minutes. Some appear to be driven from within as they race wildly from one thing to another. They are often very bright and creative, yet they’re seen as lazy, disruptive and terribly disorganized. ADHD children often suffer from low self-esteem because they have been berated as goof-offs and anarchists who refuse to follow the rules.

They sometimes have few friends

because they can drive everyone crazy – even those their own age.

As for how you can recognize such a child in your home, it is unwise for a parent to attempt to do so. There are many other problems, both psychological and physical, that can cause similar symptoms. Disorders of the thyroid, for example, can make a child hyperactive or sluggish; depression and anxiety can cause the distractibility associated with ADHD. Therefore, you must have assistance from a physician, a child developmentalist or a psychologist who can confirm the diagnosis.

If you see in your child the symptoms I’ve described, I urge you to have him or her seen professionally. Again, you should not try to diagnose your child!

The sooner you can get that youngster in to see a person who specializes in this disorder, the better.

ation with their well, so I made a phone call, and the next day we installed filters throughout the entire village. These people had cockroaches living in their wells and had latrines all around them – they probably had human waste in their water – but we put filters in, and there was an immediate change.”

The name Wine To Water is a play on words related to Christ’s first miracle in the Bible, when He turned water into wine at a wedding party.

“At that time, the need was for wine,” he says.

“Today, we have plenty of wine here in the West,

but the rest of the world doesn’t even have clean water. So the idea is to see if we can take what we have so much of – wine – and turn it into clean water.”

He does that through wine-tasting events – held at nightclubs, restaurants, country clubs and even private homes – that raise money for Wine To Water.

Awareness of the water crisis – which Hendley calls “the largest crisis in the world right now” – appears to be gaining momentum, but it has taken some effort, Hendley says. The reason, he believes, is that people tend to help with causes

they can empathize with, and clean water is not one of those causes.

“Here in the West, it doesn’t matter how bad off you get,” he explains.

“You can lose your job, your family and your house, to where you’re basically just a bum on the street, but you can still walk in any public restroom and turn on a faucet and get clean water. We have zero idea of what it means to be thirsty or to understand how water can kill children.”

Hendley’s efforts, though, have begun to change all of that, one precious drop at a time. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

A. No. We count only the wages you earn from a job, or your net profit if you’re self-employed.

Non-work income such as pensions, annuities, investment income, interest, capital gains and other government benefits are not counted and will not affect your

I know that some vet-

Need a job?

Check out the classifieds

erinarians associate mange with the junkyarddog kind of owner, but this ANIMAL disease, often passed DOCTOR on by the mother Dr. Michael (especially Fox those ■■■ kept by commercial puppy-mill breeders), can infest pedigree dogs from upscale homes.

This parasite can be difficult to eradicate and thrives on impaired immune systems when dogs are fed poor-quality manufactured dog foods and flares up when the animal is stressed.

As you discovered, Schnappes improved temporarily once her nutrition improved.

You have my condolences. The monkey smell and lizardlike skin are cardinal signs of this not uncommon canine affliction. All good veterinarians use their noses as one of their primary diagnostic tools.

Dear Dr. Fox: I read the column in which you recommended that cats should only be given pure water and not tap water because of the chemicals it contains.

Is rainwater considered pure? Or does it contain chemicals in the air as it falls to the ground? If it’s healthier for cats than tap water, could I catch it in a clean container and give it to cats? – C.G., West Palm Beach, Fla. Dear C.G.: Rainwater is far from pure, owing to human contamination with agricultural pesticides, industrial pollutants, especially mercury, lead, aluminum and dioxins, and even pharmaceutical products.

Treated with chlorine to kill fecal bacteria contaminants, municipal tap water is a hazardous chemical and an endocrine-system disruptor. Other potentially harmful chemicals are used in the water-treat-

ment process, including aluminum salts. Toxic fluorides are often added under the erroneous benief that they prevent dental cavities. Fluorides are associated with bone cancer and possibly thyroid disease.

Sources of pure water on this despoiled planet Earth are few indeed.

In-home, reverse-osmosis water-purification systems offer some hope for our animal companions (humans, too).

Check companies and products such as Culligan, Pure & Clear Countertop Water Filtration System and Eco Systems International Multi-Pure Stainless-Steel Countertop Water Filter.

THANKSGIVING TURKEYS AND YOUR PETS Readers who plan to have a turkey at their Thanksgiving celebration, President Obama’s pardoned turkey notwithstanding, should join all ethical vegetarians on this day and give a moment of thanks to all the animals who enrich our lives in countless ways and to the wild ones who manage the Earth’s ecology far better than human beings.

Share some of your celebratory dinner with your animal companions: Sweet potato is good for non-diabetic dogs, and all dogs and cats will enjoy a little raw, sliced gizzard with some gravy and turkey meat. The dark meat is better. Ideally, your bird will be humanely treated and organically raised. Keep all bones away from pets because they could cause fatal internal injuries. Avoid causing an attack of pancreatitis or uremic poisoning and kidney failure by giving your dog or cat too much of the festive kill.

D

ear Dr. Fox: In all the years my longhaired female miniature dachshund, Schnappes, was alive, she was only healthy for about two of them. She was recently put down at 16 years old. At age 2, I thought she was dying – she had lost all of her fur, had no energy, and smelled like a monkey.

I visited conventional vets, administered certain drugs, tried holistic vets, and I cooked for her – all to no avail. No one figured out her problem all those 16 years.

I had put her on the healthiest (at that time) bagged food: Solid Gold. Then I put her on some of my herbs and vitamins, as I am a vegetarian, holistic and homeopathic in my own life. Her hair grew back, and she stopped itching and chewing for about a year; and then we were back at it again. Most of her life, she had a lizardlike tummy, constant chewing/itching abrasions and lots of ear infections.

After Schnappes’ death, I searched the Internet, looking for another dachshund. I was in no hurry, just looking. I came across a breeder in Virginia and, upon telling her about Schnappes’ life, she said that my dog probably had demodectic mange (red mange or demodicosis). None of the vets ever came up with that scenario.

I’m told that it’s not prevalent in dogs, but all kinds of animals can get this disease. It is something passed down from the mother to the puppy and stresses the immune system while toxins and parasites attack the animal and remain unless proper treatment is given.

In this April 3 file photo, President Barack Obama holds a town hall style meeting at Rhenus Sports Arena in Strasbourg, France. “There have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive,” Obama said. Throughout his first trip to Europe as President, Obama repeatedly said the United States deserved a big share of responsibility for a host of problems. But his blunt talk about the country’s actions, rather than his own conduct, have generated some concern.

Candor or diversion?

Obama defies politics as usual by acknowledging setbacks

BY JENNIFER LOVEN AP WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON — “I wish that we had come back with better news from Copenhagen,” President Barack Obama said a few weeks ago after an unsuccessful trip across the ocean to try to snag the 2016 Summer Olympics for Chicago.

It wasn’t the kind of happy spin that politicians typically come up

Obama’s open admissions as a candidate that he had used drugs in his youth, a topic that has given many politicians fits, didn’t seem to hurt him politically. with after a failure.

Call it a breath of fresh air or a turnoff. Either way, the man in the Oval Office is making a habit of confessing, apologizing, revealing and regretting.

Don’t mistake it: Team Obama doesn’t miss many chances to try to put its actions in a favorable light.

The president’s frank

talk turns out to dovetail nicely with that effort. It’s a tool he uses to lessen negative fallout from bad news by pre-empting criticism and draining energy from controversy.

Still, it’s also a genuine Obama personality trait, all the more notable because his predecessor, George W. Bush, was parodied for a reluctance even to utter the word “mistake.”

When Bush was asked at a 2004 news conference to name his biggest error since the attacks of Sept.

11, 2001, he puffed out his cheeks, stammered and stalled, and then ventured: “I’m sure something will pop into my head.” If it did, he didn’t choose to share it.

There is a long tradition of presidents and their aides taking a hands-off “mistakes were made” approach in the blame game.

With Obama, though, it was apparent early on that “I was wrong” comes easier.

Just days into Obama’s presidency, when former Sen. Tom Daschle withdrew his nomination to be Obama’s health secretary because of tax problems.

Obama served up a round of “I screwed up” apologies.

He apologized again six weeks later for his wisecrack on NBC’s “Tonight” show that his lousy bowling score was “like the Special Olympics or something.” Before the show had even aired, Obama called Special Olympics Chairman Tim Shriver to say he was sorry.

In July, it took Obama less than a day to turn contrite about his remark that police in Cambridge, Mass., had “acted stupidly” in arresting black

President Barack Obama last week urged Virginians to elect a Democrat as governor Tuesday, but party officials braced for a defeat that could take some sheen off Obama’s first year in office.

Last fall, Obama became the first Democratic presidential nominee to carry Virginia since 1964. But the state remains highly competitive, and Obama has had little apparent success in boosting the hopes of Creigh Deeds, the Democrat who is trailing Republican Bob McDonnell in polls ahead of the election.

Still, Obama delighted a partisan audience of several thousand people at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, portraying Deeds as the rightful successor to popular Democratic governors Mark Warner and Tim Kaine.

Without naming McDonnell, Obama described him in terms he often uses for GOP critics in Congress.

“We don’t need politicians who are more interested in scoring points than solving problems,” Obama said.

Obama was inevitably drawn into the contest — and this year’s only other gubernatorial race, in New Jersey — and he made a final in-person pitch for Deeds at the rally.

Protesters stand across the street as President Barack Obama’s motorcade arrives at a hotel for a Democratic fundraiser in Miami Monday. scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. The president didn’t go all the way to an apology, but did offer that he “could’ve calibrated those words differently.”

Obama has offered a public critique of his own ability to make a clear case for overhauling the health care system. He’s said he needs to “step up my game” in that area.

“That’s been a case where I have been humbled,” the president said last month.

The president styles his willingness to admit mistakes as “part of the era of responsibility,” as he put it on the day of the Daschle debacle.

Wayne Fields, a professor at Washington University in St. Louis who studies presidential rhetoric, said it’s not just “touchy-feeling confessionalism” but a reflection of Obama’s belief that progress happens incrementally, through trial and error.

Fields said it represents a shift not just from Bush’s certainty but from

a string of recent presidents.

How it sits with the public may hinge on Obama’s political fortunes more generally, as was true for Bush’s no-apologies approach.

When Bush “was high in the polls, people thought it was charming and when he wasn’t high in the polls it was evidence that he wasn’t up to the job,” said George Edwards, a Texas A&M University political science professor.

Striking the right balance can be challenge, Fields said.

“We want it both ways,” he said. “We want a leader that’s humble and certain.

We want a leader who is learning but gets it right every time.”

Obama’s candor includes not just contrition but also coarse and casual language.

When the health care debate turned ugly in August, Obama said there was “something about August going into September where everybody in Wash-

ington gets all wee-weed up.” (Just saying that got Washington “all weeweed up” all over again.)

Then there was Obama’s reference to Kanye West as a “jackass” after the rapper’s ill treatment of country singer Taylor Swift. Even Obama’s open admissions as a candidate that he had used drugs in his youth, a topic that has given many politicians fits, didn’t seem to hurt him politically.

Obama’s blunt talk about the country’s actions rather than his own conduct has generated more concern.

Humbling America before the world is trickier territory.

On Obama’s first trip through Europe as president, he repeatedly said the United States deserved a big share of responsibility for a host of problems — not aggressively tackling climate change and financial excesses that sparked the global economic crisis, among others.

Questions involve depleted ozone, military VIPs in Congress THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

What ever happened to the hole in the ozone layer?

A decade or two ago, alarm bells were sounding about this growing environmental worry.

But you don’t hear so much about it these days. Is it less of a problem than it used to be?

Did it go away entirely?

Curiosity about the ozone layer inspired one of the questions in this edition of “Ask AP,” a weekly Q&A column where AP journalists respond to readers’ questions about the news.

If you have your own news-related question that you’d like to see answered by an AP reporter or editor, send it to newsquestions@ap.org, with “Ask AP” in the subject line. And please include your full name and hometown so they can be published with your question.

Q. Rep. Joe Sestak was elected to Congress in 2007 after retiring from the Navy as an admiral.

There have been several generals who have been elected president, but how many military officers with at least one star — brigadier general or rear admiral — have served in Congress after their military careers were over?

Chad Steenerson Terre Haute, Ind. A. Rep. Joe Sestak, DPa., served in the Navy for 31 years and rose to the rank of three-star admiral. He is the only three-star officer to be elected to the House, according to the Office of the House Historian.

It’s unclear how many military officers with at least one star have served in the House.

There does not seem to be an authoritative log, and the Office of the House Historian does not have a comprehensive list. Those elected to the House with at least one star include the late

Rep. Sonny Montgomery, D-Miss., who was a two-star officer. Andrew Jackson, also a two-star officer, served in both chambers of Congress.

At least 91 senators, including Jackson, have had at least one star, according to the Senate Historical Office.

Sens. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., and Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., were among those who were two-star officers.

Ann Sanner Associated Press Writer, Washington Q. A number of years ago, the biggest environmental problem was the hole in the ozone layer.

Has that hole completely gone away? If so, how was that problem fixed?

Daniel Lippman Washington A. The “hole” is actually a huge area of depleted ozone high in the stratosphere over the South Pole. It forms every year because of airborne man-made chemicals. Ozone shields Earth from harmful ultraviolet rays, so its depletion is hazardous.

In 1987, 193 nations agreed to cut emissions of ozone-eating chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs. That began a slow-motion fix of the problem that’s still ongoing. That’s probably why you don’t hear as much about the ozone layer as you used to.

Earlier this year, a NASA study used computer modeling to look at what would have happened if the release of CFCs hadn’t been curtailed. In that scenario, two-thirds of the ozone layer would have vanished by 2065 and the hole in the layer would have covered the Earth, NASA atmospheric sci-

entist Paul Newman said. This would have pushed the world’s temperature up an extra 4 degrees, Newman said.

While cutting CFC emissions helped, the problem hasn’t gone away — the hole still appears every August or so, growing to its maximum size in September or October before breaking up. You can track the latest ozone hole data at http://ozonewatch.gsfc. nasa.gov/index.html Malcolm Ritter AP Science Writer New York Q. I’m curious if anyone has ever challenged the legal right of a credit bureau to collect and sell private and financial information about a consumer. What gives a company the right to assemble my information and resell it for a profit?

Sheryl Smith Madeira Beach, Fla. A. There have been numerous suits filed against credit reporting agencies regarding the accuracy of their information, but challenging their right to operate would be futile.

The reason: The Fair Credit Reporting Act, first passed in 1970 and amended several times since, includes a congressional finding that the agencies “have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers.”

This law does, however, require these companies to maintain accurate records and respect consumers’ privacy rights, and it restricts access to medical information. It also spells out a consumer’s right to access his credit reports and dispute inaccurate information.

These agencies use the information they collect to calculate your “credit score.”

Varsity to reopen as $3 theater

BY SADIA LATIFI MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

CHAPEL HILL – Franklin Street’s landmark Varsity Theatre will reopen next month under new ownership after extensive renovations to the lobby and concessions area and the addition of a children’s party room.

Chapel Hill resident Susan Shareshian and her husband, Paul, finalized the deal last week and have begun work to restore the theater.

“The Varsity still has a fantastic reputation, but

we want to bring it back to the romantic era and make it more of a destination,” Susan Shareshian said.

The couple, who have lived in the area for four years, plan to charge $3 for movies. They want to show mainstream flicks alongside classics.

They’re planning to partner with area restaurants for special date night deals, too.

“We want to provide an economic evening out and still make it intimate,” said Shareshian, who works at Cisco.

The 80-year-old theater

closed in June after ticket sales plummeted. Bruce Stone, the former owner, declined to comment on the re-opening. Shareshian said she thinks showing commercial movies will increase foot traffic.

In addition to regular movie showings, the theater will be available for rental for children’s parties, private screenings, lectures and corporate functions.

“We want to make sure students have a space, but we want to make sure families, seniors, married couples all feel comfortable,” Shareshian said.

Creating a maze of bureaucracy

BY WESLEY YOUNG MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

WINSTON-SALEM – Farmer Zane Sells thought he was doing just what the county had in mind when he opened up a corn maze on his property this fall to make some extra money.

About two years ago, the county passed an ag-

ricultural-tourism regulation to give farmers the option of running everything from corn mazes to farm tours and even restaurants.

But those uses require a permit, and Sells didn’t get one. He didn’t think he needed one. So now he is running what is essentially an illegal corn maze in southeast Forsyth County.

Because Sells took the trouble to list his farm as a voluntary agriculture district, he may have to pay a $100 fee for the permit to do agricultural tourism.

“I just don’t understand,” Sells said last night. “Forsyth County has got some funny rules.

It seems like every time you go to do something, you have to jump through a lot of hoops. You are al-

ready in an agricultural district, so why would you have to go in and get a form when you are already in the farm department?”

Promoters of agricultural tourism in Forsyth say the intent of the rules was to make it easier for farmers to carry out money-making activities that aren’t traditionally associated with farming.

‘Alien outhouses’ torn down This undated picture shows a public art piece located at the intersection of East Route 66 and Postal Boulevard in Flagstaff, Ariz., which was torn down last week. City officials scrapped what some in Flagstaff facetiously dubbed the “alien outhouses” after a car hit the sculpture a few weeks ago. That accident exposed a 110-volt electrical terminal, creating a public hazard, said City Architect Karl Eberhard. This was the second time a car plowed into the expensive piece of art since its installation. Named “Solar Calendar” by artist Mary Boone Wellington, the artwork has been plagued by problems, mainly in illuminating it.

New movie takes aim at celebrity journalism

BY JILL LAWLESS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

L

ONDON – What do Amy Winehouse’s flaming beehive and Guy Ritchie’s self-inflicted black eye have in common?

Both stories appeared in the pages of Britain’s tabloid press.

Neither is true.

The two incidents were fake showbiz news tips phoned into newspapers by the makers of the new documentary “Starsuckers,” to see whether they would be used without fact-checking.

The fact that they were forms part of the movie’s argument that the culture of celebrity has undermined journalistic stan-

Johansson, Schreiber cast in ‘Bridge’ on Broadway

dards and warped society’s values.

“I didn’t realize quite how much of our news is public relations, or lies, or on the basis of Atkins criminal acts,” said the film’s 33year-old director, Chris Atkins.

“Starsuckers,” which premiered last week at the London Film Festival, takes aim at Britain’s fiercely competitive tabloid press, but its real target is much broader. Atkins believes that society’s obsession with fame has distorted everything from the way news is reported to our children’s aspirations.

The film opens with the state-

ment “everybody is naturally and powerfully attracted to fame,” and tries to show how big companies in entertainment, media and PR use that desire to create a world full of insatiable consumers.

Through a series of stunts, Atkins aims to show how dignity, truth and even the law go out the window in the pursuit of celebrity. Atkins is particularly scornful of reality television – the way such shows distort reality and stretch the limits of what people will do to be on TV. The film introduces viewers to a Nevada boy named Ryan, who wants urgently to be famous – at five years old, he is already a veteran of agents, auditions and public appearances.

NEW YORK (AP) – Scarlett Johansson will star opposite Liev Schreiber early next year in a Broadway r e v i v a l of Arthur Miller’s “A View From Johansson the Bridge.”

Producer Stuart Thompson says the production will open Jan. 24 at the Cort Theater.

Previews begin Dec. 28.

Schreiber will portray a Brooklyn longshoreman who is obsessed with his 17-year-old niece, played

by Johansson. The revival will be Johansson’s Broadway debut.

Schreiber won a Tony Award for his performance in the 2005 revival of David Mamet’s “Glengarry Glen Ross.”

In another sequence, Atkins set up a booth in an English shopping mall purporting to be casting for children’s reality TV shows. The filmmakers recorded as parents happily signed waivers for their children to appear on shows with titles like “Baby Boozers” and “Take Your Daughter to the Slaughterhouse” – for which he filmed children cheerfully trying to decapitate rubber chickens.

Critics might say Atkins manipulates people in the same way as the shows he criticizes.

“We tricked people into being in our film,” acknowledged Atkins, whose last film, “Taking Liberties,” looked at what he saw as the erosion of civil rights under Prime Minister Tony Blair.

‘Da Vinci’ publisher changes jobs NEW YORK (AP) – Dan Brown’s former publisher has a new job.

Stephen Rubin, who resigned last month from Random House Inc., will be the president and publisher of Henry Holt and Company, where authors include Man Booker Prize winner Hilary Mantel and National Book Award finalist Greg Grandin. According to Holt’s parent company, Macmillan, Rubin will start Nov. 2.

“Throughout my career, I have always strived to publish those exceptional books that bridge the gap between commerce and literature,” Rubin said in a statement issued last week by Macmillan.

“I believe that Holt is the perfect place to do this.”

Rubin was the longtime head of the Broadway Doubleday division of Random House and published John Grisham, Pat Conroy and Brown, whose “The Da Vinci Code” is among the best-selling novels in history. Rubin also worked with Ian McEwan, Margaret Atwood and other, more literary authors.

‘This Is It’ Jackson film earns $2.2M on first night

L

OS ANGELES (AP) – Michael Jackson may be headed to the top of the charts again – this time at the movie box office.

“Michael Jackson’s This Is It” took in $2.2 million domestically from its first late-night screenings, setting it up for a big full opening day Wednesday and a strong shot at a No. 1 debut weekend.

Those evening screenings alone were enough to top the $1.7 million that Paramount’s fright flick “Paranormal Activity,” last weekend’s No. 1 movie, pulled in over the entire day Tuesday.

With Halloween at hand, “Paranormal Activity” expands into its widest release yet, about 2,400 theaters, compared to about 3,500 for “This Is It.” Distributor Sony said Wednesday matinees for “This Is It” already had surpassed the film’s haul from those first evening screenings. The studio paid $60 million for worldwide rights to the film, which was distilled from more than 100 hours of footage shot as Jackson rehearsed for

AP

Randy Jackson (from left), Tito Jackson and Marlon Jackson arrive to the premiere of “Michael Jackson’s This Is It,” Tuesday, in Los Angeles. what would have been a 50-concert comeback run in London starting last July.

While “This Is It” is not quite a concert film, box-office watchers are gauging its success against “Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert,” the biggest concert movie on record. “Best of Both Worlds” had a $31.1 million opening weekend last year and pulled in $65.3 million domestically during its entire run.

“This Is It” so far has not approached any major box-office records.

The best results ever for advance evening screenings came from “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End,” which took in $13.2 million Thursday night ahead of its official Friday release in summer 2006. “Independence Day” had the best Tuesday night advance results, with $11.1 million in summer 1996.

Still, “This Is It” already is well on its way to becoming a top-grossing music documentary.

Last March’s “Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience” runs a distant second to “Best of

Both Worlds in the concert-film record books, topping out at $19.2 million. “Madonna: Truth or Dare” follows with $15 million, and last year’s “U2 3D” is fourth with $10.2 million.

“As a genre, concert movies and even documentaries aren’t usually the type of films to bring in big box-office bucks, but because of his name and also the timing of it, I think it’s a winner,” said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. “That $60 million investment I think was worthwhile.”

AP

A fan holds up a pass for the opening of “This Is It” at Regal Cinemas L.A. LIVE Stadium 14 in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – Former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin reported last week that she received at least $1.25 million for her hugely anticipated u p c o m ing memoir “Going Rogue.”

A discloPalin sure statement released discusses Palin’s finances from Jan. 1 to July 26, when she resigned as Alaska governor.

Palin says she received the money from publisher HarperCollins.

The document only provides a partial picture of the book deal because it doesn’t cover the three months she has been out of office. Palin doesn’t elaborate on her book compensation, describing the $1.25 million figure only as a “retainer” that appears to be a reference to her lucrative advance.

Her personal spokeswoman, Meghan Stapleton, declined to provide more details of the deal.

“The Governor has complied with Alaska disclosure law by her filing,” she said in an e-mail Tuesday. “Now, as a private citizen, her business dealings, including her publishing agreement, are confidential.”

It’s likely Palin will make more money when it’s all said and done. “Going Rogue” catapulted to No. 1 on Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com after HarperCollins announced in late September it had moved up the release date of 1.5 million copies from spring to Nov. 17.

Co-ownership makes second homes affordable SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – High Point Bank, a trusted financial partner in the Triad since 1905, is financing the 7.94-acre coastal project called MainSail of Beaufort.

The townhomes are being sold in one-tenth co-ownership shares, better known as fractional ownership. Pre-sale pricing starts below $60,000, saving consumers up to $15,000 from the average price. Team Arleen Realtors, a Greensboro-based Keller Williams Realty affiliate, has been named a preferred broker

and High Point Bank has been named the preferred lender.

MainSail is the newest Southern Star Community. Originally planned as single-owner $500,000+ luxury townhomes, the shift to co-ownership has made the project even more viable, given the price point. Richard Stockett, developer of more than two dozen residential communities, made the switch after vacation home sales dropped 31 percent from 2007 to 2008.

“When Richard brought us this opportunity we were impressed with the affordabil-

ity of the co-ownership model,” says Don Shaw, vice president of commercial lending for High Point Bank. “Even in this tight lending market, solid business plans for affordable housing are a good investment. I am excited to be part of this development” Each unit is three stories with three bedrooms and baths, an open floor plan living/dining area and storage lockers in the garage for each owner. The townhomes also feature two porches, two decks, a private elevator, a large two-car garage and a roof-top terrace with great

water views over Town Creek and the Newport River.

Popular in Europe for decades and successful at ski resorts out west, co-ownership is relatively new in North Carolina with less than a dozen like developments.

In co-ownership, the buyer purchases one or more shares of the property and is allotted an appropriate amount of usage. This spreads the financial burden of purchasing and maintaining the property over several owners. MainSail limits the number of owners to 10 per unit. Each one-tenth share entitles owners

to at least five weeks of use.

The units come fully furnished for the $59,900 pre-sale price.

HOA fees estimated at $282 per month cover all subdivision and townhome expenses including: taxes, utilities, insurance, grounds keeping, maintenance, repairs, hurricane preparations and maid services. This means that instead of spending vacation time mowing the lawn and re-staining the deck, owners can relax and enjoy the view from the rooftop terrace, go boating and fishing, or enjoy the shops on Front Street.

Take advantage of Lead Hazard Control Program

T

he City of High Point was awarded a $3 million dollar grant to protect children from dangerous lead paint hazards in March of this year.

Not always, but often the lead is found in the child’s environment especially their home. The funding will assist in many ways to eliminate lead including identifying children with lead poisoning and the level of lead, increase awareness about lead, and fund local projects to remove the lead from the child’s environment.

During the month of October, Lead Safe Awareness Month, Lead Safe High Point has partnered with High Point Regional

Association of Realtors to encourage homeowners to take advantage of the opportunities the Lead Hazard Control Program offers.

While many of REAL ESTATE the properties that Alison receive funding are Spradley identified through ■■■ testing children for lead, thus leading to the home, that is not the only way to receive funds.

Any owner of a home that meets the minimum requirements of the program is eligible to apply.

The program is available to all

housing units citywide occupied by low to moderate income families. However, six census tracts located in the core-city that have socio-economic and environmental risk factors which demonstrate the likely prevalence of lead-based paint exposure, have a higher concentration of children with blood lead poisoning according to current surveillance data.

Southside, Macedonia, East Central, Washington Drive, and West End are neighborhoods that are located within those tracts.

Tips for those who can’t retire until they sell their home

A

fter hitting age 60, a small business owner and his school administrator wife longed to retire and travel abroad.

But to actualize their round-theworld plans, the couple first had to sell their 40-acre country place – complete with its 4,500-square-foot house and two large barns where once they’d kept horses; this ended up taking nine months.

Donna Clark, the real estate broker who sold their property, says the couple’s long selling time could have been cut in half had they responded more quickly to her recommendations for a few upgrades to their house.

“At first they didn’t realize just how important these changes were.

They failed to see the point of spending money on the home to make it sell faster,” says Clark, who’s affiliated with the Council of Residential Specialists (www.crs.net).

Ultimately, Clark convinced the owners to repaint the home’s interior, refinish its hardwood floors and update its worn kitchen countertops with granite. She also persuaded them to remove from their crowded rooms excess accumulations, allowing prospective buyers to more fully appreciate the spacious domain.

“They had to empty the house of a great deal of furniture – from eclectic antiques to over-stuffed chairs,” Clark says.

Like this couple, people of retirement age often have a strong desire to sell, yet a resistance to taking the necessary steps. Here are several pointers for sellers in this position: • Focus on your ultimate goal.

Retirement dreams vary widely.

Though many wish to travel, throughout the U.S. if not around the world, others have a less expansive vision.

Some simply seek to downsize to a much smaller house or a condo where they have fewer upkeep obligations.

Others want to live closer to their grandchildren.

“Lots of retirees want to escape to a better climate,” says Sid Davis, a real estate broker and author of “A Survival Guide for Buying a Home.”

Staying focused on retirement plans should help keep your spirits up as you do the hard work of preparing your property for market. To maintain your focus, Davis says you may even wish to take a brief vacation to the area where you’d like to live, whether that’s a foreign country or a nearby town.

• Tour a few model homes.

Have you lived in your current home for many years? If so, you’re likely very comfortable with your interior design and see no need to update it. But that’s

usually a mistake, says Clark, who’s sold homes for more than 30 years.

One way to picture the sort of decor contemporary buyers prefer is to tour model homes in new subdivisions.

“This is a shortcut to REAL ESTATE seeing the kinds of colors and designs younger Ellen buyers look for. You’ll Martin also see how well a house ■■■ can look when it’s free of clutter,” Clark says.

• Focus on upgrades that should increase your odds of a successful sale.

Would-be retirees who are eager to sell their properties should view key improvements as a wise investment rather than a needless sacrifice, Clark says.

“A house is like a business. Sometimes you have to put some money into it to get more money out of it,” she says.

Obviously, you’re unlikely to recoup your outlays for major improvements, like putting on an addition or installing a new fireplace. But Clark says several less expensive upgrades could be extremely helpful in promoting the sale of your home.

For instance, she says you’ll want to refinish hardwood floors if they’re beat up. And you’ll want to replace carpeting in an out-of-date color.

Likewise, she says most sellers with vibrantly colored walls should repaint them in neutral tones.

“Pink walls don’t belong in any house you’re trying to sell. Nor do walls in deep red, vivid green or periwinkle blue,” Clark says.

• Don’t play pricing games.

Many a couple heading toward retirement and the proposed sale of their home rejects the pricing recommendation of their listing agent. In pursuit of more money, they decide to test the market with a higher price than their agent has proposed. After all, they reason, they could always cut the price later if necessary.

But this seemingly logical idea usually backfires, Clark says, because nowadays buyers are acutely sensitive to housing values. They respond negatively to an overpriced property and may become so annoyed that they won’t even visit the place.

“The first two weeks after you list your house are key. If you don’t price it right from the start, possible buyers will lose interest. Then even after you drop the price you may have to wait a long, long time to get it sold,” she says.

New form aids processing of mortgage applications SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Service today issued a new form to aid the processing of mortgage applications under the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) as part of the Making Home Affordable Program.

The new form will make it simpler for people, especially homeowners trying to modify or refinance their mortgages, to order copies of their tax return transcripts.

Taxpayers often need copies of their tax return information, especially when they are obtaining a new mortgage or when they are refinancing or modifying an existing mortgage. Taxpayers can use Form 4506T-EZ, Short Form Request for Individual Tax Return Transcript <http://www.irs. gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506tez. pdf>, to order a Form 1040 series tax return transcript free of charge.

A transcript is a computer print-out that includes most

lines on the original return.

A transcript often is an acceptable substitute for a copy of the original tax return for purposes of verifying income.

Form 4506T-EZ is a streamlined version of the Form 4506T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return.

The Form 4506T-EZ is only for individuals who filed a Form 1040 series.

Businesses, partnerships and individuals who need transcript information from other forms must still use the Form 4506T.
