Scenes from the event. 2A BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Lewis Ferebee learned a few things about school performance while principal of Fairview Elementary School. And the tall man who runs a clean desk at his Greensboro office is taking what he learned to his new job as superintendent of the Enrichment Region created by Guilford County Schools Superintendent Mo Green. The region was created to focus resources on low-performing schools. Ferebee said he always has had an interest in helping students achieve t h e i r RAISING best. “That THE BAR gives me exciteGuilford County m e n t Schools a n d enrichment enjoyregions ment,” ■■■ Ferebee s a i d . “That drives me.” Ferebee supervises and guides the performance of nine schools, including three in High Point: Montlieu Math and Science Academy, Welborn Academy of Science and Technology and T.W. Andrews High School. “I want excellence for all our kids,” Ferebee said. “That is our mission. I am busy supplying that support and resources. If we have a positive learning environment, learning will take place.” Ferebee said he expects to spend about two days a week at the High Point schools. “They know me,” he said. “We have a connection, and we have made time to get into the schools. With only nine schools, we have more time to work with the principals and teachers.” At Fairview Elementary, where more than

Lewis Ferebee, one of Guilford’s regional superintendents, was principal at Fairview Elementary several years ago. 96 percent of students were eligible for free and reduced-priced lunches, students improved to meet 100 percent of Adequate Yearly Progress, or AYP, targets for four consecutive years. “The school was one of the lowest performing in the district,” Ferebee recalled. “We made tremendous progress, and I was able to help develop other leaders.” Ferebee has a staff of experts and coaches to help school principals and teachers. “We have technicians and support staff that the other districts don’t have,” Ferebee said. “They will help with performance on the state

tests and in the academies and early colleges.” Each enrichment region high school has a career academy. “Our young people today require an end in mind to keep them motivated,” Ferebee said. “They need motivation and interest to come to school.” For the classrooms, Ferebee wants to train teachers to be the best, recruit the best teachers and then provide time for them to develop the best practices to improve performance. “We don’t study and recover our best procedures enough,” Ferebee said. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

GUILFORD COUNTY – Guilford County Schools Superintendent Mo Green helped to charter an enrichment region while deputy superintendent of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and transplanted that organization to the Guilford

County Schools to boost the performance of low-performing schools. “The work of the enrichment region is critical to what we want to do,” Green said. “Some of these schools are in the low-performing category. This organization allows a concentra-

HIGH POINT – An increased fear of catching the flu this season was evident as hundreds of people began forming a line at Guilford Technical Community College Saturday morning about an hour before its H1N1 flu vaccination clinic opened. The school offered H1N1 vaccinations and seasonal flu shots to college students, children and pregnant women only from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. at its Medlin Center. About 6,000 doses of the vaccine were available. “Our student body is in the high risk group of catching the virus,” said Mary West, a special assistant to the vice president of student learning and success. “We wanted to protect them as well as our staff’s children.” West said the clinic was open to the public because the school is a part of the community and therefore wanted to assist its citizens. Genna Carter, of Colfax, waited in the line with her three children, including her 4-year-old daughter who already has battled the H1N1 virus this year. “I don’t want them to get sick like that again,” Carter said. “I want to protect them. It’s worth the wait (in line), but I wish their pediatrician had had access to the vaccine.” Other mothers shared similar concerns as they decided whether their children would receive the vaccine in the form of a shot or a nasal flu mist. Seasonal flu shots were also available for children ages four to 18. “Everybody says it is a good preventative,” said Amy Odell, a Jamestown resident who brought her 4-year-old daughter and 2year-old son to the clinic. “From what I’ve seen on the news, this line isn’t that bad. I’ve known people who have had H1N1, and I think this is worth the wait.” Connie Lawson, a health educator with the Guilford County Department of Public Health, said the event ran smoothly, despite the large turnout. “It’s actually a short process once you get through the door,” she said. “We had hoped for a large crowd, and people have told us it has been very organized. We want to use every last drop of the vaccine that we have.” Emergency medical personnel were on-site in the event of a vaccination reaction. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Graffiti artist leaves note on unfinished work PALM BAY, Fla. (AP) – Police in Florida say a graffiti artist who apparently ran out of paint midway through a spray-painted creation left a note to potential critics to explain the un-

tion on what the enrichment staff thinks is needed to make improvements. This is critical for these nine schools and others because we can transfer what we know and learn to other schools.” Low-performing schools are those that failed to meet their expected growth standards and have less than 50 percent of their students’ scores at or above Achievement Level III. All of the district’s 10 low-performing schools had performance composites below the district average of 66.5 percent. School districts must develop improvement plans for schools designated as low-performing by the state’s ABCs of Public Education. “I have four of these schools,” said Lewis Ferebee, enrichment region superintendent, “and others that could be. This is a new focus for us in Guilford County. The focus is clear, and the goal of having no low-performing schools is attainable.” The Guilford County Board of Education earlier approved pump-

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sometimes I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let her get too close because I feel she may hurt me again.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Sandy Foster (right) shares a laugh with her daughter Jazmine Priest, 15, at the Bassett Center in Rocky Mount.

Jazmine Priest Daughter I feel she may hurt me again,â&#x20AC;? Jazmine said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She did cheat a few years away from me. If she goes back to the same habits, then what?â&#x20AC;? Jazmine said the broken relationship with her mother has made it difficult to get close to others. Jazmine was born in Norwalk, Conn., but Foster stayed there for only three weeks because she was having problems with Jazmineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father. At 13 months, Jazmine moved to South Carolina with her mother. Foster became tangled with drug users and reckless behavior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make up for the past,â&#x20AC;? Foster said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can never get that time

1 dead, 2 wounded in nightclub shooting EDEN (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Authorities say a 37-year-old Virginia man is dead and two other people injured in a shooting outside a North Carolina nightclub. Multiple media outlets report that Eden police were checking out a suspicious

car around 2:30 a.m. Saturday when they heard gunshots coming from Edenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Icehouse Club and Lounge. The officers say they saw several people running from the club, then found three people who had been shot.

back that I lost with her. She holds it against me, but this is something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on.â&#x20AC;? Foster said her own shortfalls have compelled her to be strict with Jazmine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing more of protecting her than letting her go out there and deal with the pressures on her own,â&#x20AC;? Foster said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are lessons in life we all have to learn. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned mine. Now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my chance to be the teacher.â&#x20AC;? One of those lessons, Foster said, is the value of hard work. From school and hotel housekeeping to cashier work, Foster said moving into the Bassett Center has taught her the real meaning of financial responsibility. Learning from her broken past, she said, she never again wants to lean on someone for handouts before trying herself.

ROCKY MOUNT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; After years of putting drug addiction and prostitution ahead of her loved ones, Sandy Foster said she finally has broken free of her troubled past. Now Foster is focused on another difficult task â&#x20AC;&#x201C; repairing the bonds between her and her daughter. Jazmine Priest, 15, was one of those pieces missing in the 46-yearold Fosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. As both mother and daughter came through the double doors of the Bassett Center entrance, Foster took a few seconds to smile and firmly embrace Jazmine. At that moment, Foster remembered her uphill climb to regain custody of her daughter. Despite her pain and disappointment, she said it was worth it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a difficulty for me because I already had my mind made up,â&#x20AC;? Foster said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted my daughter back. I was willing to go through hell to reach my destination.â&#x20AC;? The Rocky Mount Telegram reported that Jazmine said it becomes hard at times to reconnect with her mother because of the long absence. She said the memories of her mother missing countless birthdays, holidays and other coming-of-age moments are strong reasons to keep distant from her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When she said it was blue, I said it was green,â&#x20AC;? Foster said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now her being older, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harbored some personal issues that had to do with me. I felt she was holding my past and me being on drugs against me.â&#x20AC;?

Medvedev: Arms control deal can be reached MOSCOW – Russia and the United States have a good chance of reaching a new nuclear arms reduction deal before year’s end, but other nuclear powers must join disarmament efforts, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said in remarks released Saturday. Medvedev also told Germany’s Der Spiegel magazine he has been working well with his predecessor Vladimir Putin, and predictions of a rift between him and Putin – widely seen as pulling the strings in Russia – are overblown.

G-20 officials: Too early to end stimulus ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – Finance officials from rich and developing countries have pledged to maintain emergency support for their economies until recovery is assured, but failed to reach a clear agreement to bear the cost of fighting climate change. There was also a mixed reaction among the Group of 20 leading rich and emerging nations Saturday to a Britishled push to consider a fund for bank bailouts, possibly financed by a tax on financial transactions, to ensure taxpayers don’t bear the brunt of any future rescues.

Iran releases 3 journalists jailed during rallies TEHRAN, Iran – Iranian authorities have released three journalists who were among more than 100 people arrested during pro-government and opposition street demonstrations this week, the country’s official news agency reported. One of the reporters, Farhad Pouladi, is an Iranian who works for Agence France-Presse. The other two are foreign reporters, but the report by the IRNA news agency did not identify them.

TAM Airlines: Jet forced to return to JFK RIO DE JANEIRO – TAM Airlines says one of its jets took off from New York’s JFK airport but was forced to return 20 minutes into the flight because of a mechanical problem. TAM Linhas Aereas SA says that Flight JJ8081 en route to Sao Paulo with 196 people on board returned Friday night after a warning light indicated problems with the wing flaps. An airline spokesman says the jet circled in the air for several minutes to burn fuel and lighten up before safely landing at JFK.

A man looks in a trash can at a market in Jalalabad, Nangarhar province, east of Kabul, Afghanistan, Saturday.

Authorities probe whether NATO strike killed Afghan forces KABUL (AP) – U.S. and Afghan authorities investigated Saturday whether a botched NATO airstrike was to blame for the death of Afghan soldiers and police during a search for two American paratroopers missing in a Taliban-infested area of the country’s west. The probe into a possible friendly fire incident further aggravates already strained relations between Afghan President Hamid Karzai and

the international community, which holds his enfeebled government partly responsible for rising instability. After enduring a drumbeat of criticism from world leaders in recent days, the Afghan government struck back on Saturday, saying it viewed a U.N. official’s prescription for ridding the country of corruption and warlords as an infringement on its national sovereignty. The airstrike occurred Friday dur-

ing fighting in Badghis province, a remote area that borders Turkmenistan. Two days earlier, two American paratroopers disappeared there while trying to recover airdropped supplies that had fallen into a river. Fighting broke out between members of a search team and Taliban insurgents, the U.S. military said. Eight Afghans – four soldiers, three policemen and an interpreter – were killed.

Hurricane watch for Mexico’s Caribbean coast CANCUN, Mexico – Officials readied storm shelters along Mexico’s Caribbean coast Saturday and told fishermen and tour operators to pull in their boats amid warnings that Tropical Storm Ida could become a hurricane as it neared the resort city of Cancun. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Ida’s winds strengthened to near 70 mph, just short of a Category 1 hurricane. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Comments to colleagues about a climate of persecution faced by Muslims in the military. Conversations with a mosque leader that became incoherent. As a student, some who knew Nidal Malik Hasan said they saw clear signs the young Army psychiatrist â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who authorities say went on a shooting spree at Fort Hood that left 13 dead and 29 others wounded â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had no place in the military. After arriving at Fort Hood, he was conflicted about what to tell fellow Muslim soldiers about the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, alarming an Islamic community leader from whom he sought counsel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told him, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something wrong with you,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;?

Saturday as the House pushed toward a vote on a landmark health care bill holding out the promise of coverage for tens of millions who lack it. After months of struggle, capped by a final clash over abortion, Speaker Nancy Pelosi predicted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we will pass health care reform,â&#x20AC;? and likened the events to the creation of Social Security in 1935 and Medicare 30 years later. United in opposition, minority Republicans cataloged their objections across hours of debate on the 1,990-page, $1.2 trillion legislation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to have a complete government takeover of our health care system faster than you can say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;this is making me sick,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? jabbed Rep. Candice Miller, R-Mich., adding that Democrats were intent on passing â&#x20AC;&#x153;a jobskilling, tax-hiking, deficitexplodingâ&#x20AC;? bill.

Holiday tradition needs help BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Organizers of a holiday meal outreach effort hope to enlist the community’s help as they try to meet growing demand. His Laboring Few Ministries expects as many as 9,000 meals to be prepared and served on Thanksgiving and Christmas, at a cost in excess of $35,000. That would be a significant increase from a year ago, according to His Laboring Few pastor Steve Ervin, who attributed the project-

HELP OUT

–

Those who wish to donate to the holiday meal outreach program are asked to make checks out to His Laboring Few Ministries and send them to His Laboring Few Ministries, 812 Martin Luther King Drive, Thomasville, NC 27360. For more information, call the ministry at 475-2455.

ed jump to the heightened demand. “Just judging by the calls coming in and the state of the economy, it seems like we can expect more this year,” said Ervin, whose organization teams up with Carter Brothers Bar-

becue and Ribs, local Realtor Ed Price and numerous volunteers to prepare, serve and deliver the free meals to local shut-ins, homeless and others in need in the greater High Point area. Ervin said the biggest

need is for monetary donations to fund the cost of the meals. “It helps us get a lot of people fed,” he said. “Some of the folks we deliver meals to, we stay and visit awhile, because a lot of them don’t have families and for them, this is their only fellowship during the holidays.” Price, as he has for other community projects such as the Miracle Field and Leslie’s House, is once again leading the fundraising for the meals. “Right now, we’re work-

ing on donations and getting the word out to people,” he said. “It does bring all of the community together.” Ervin said he expects about 300 to 400 volunteers to help with the meals, which are delivered to private homes, retirement homes, hospitals, shelters and other sites. In addition, organizers will prepare to feed 700 people expected to come to Carter Brothers for the meals on Thanksgiving and Christmas days. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

TRIAD – Thousands of people out of work for long periods in the greater High Point area could benefit from a jobless benefits extension bill passed by Congress and signed by President Barack Obama last week. In North Carolina, 8,131 people exhausted their unemployment compensation during the last 60 days, according to figures from the N.C. Employment Security Commission. The total includes 165 in Davidson County, 451 in Guilford County and 126 in Randolph County. Another 91,290 workers in North Carolina would exhaust jobless benefits in the next 121 to 180 days, the ESC reports. That group includes 1,872 people in Davidson, 4,841 in Guilford and 1,457 in Randolph. The bill signed into law Friday provides additional federal jobless benefits routed through the states. Obama approved the legislation the same day the federal government reported that the U.S. jobless rate rose to 10.2 percent in October, the highest level since 1983. The extra 20 weeks provided by the bill could allow someone out of work in a high unemployment state, such as North Carolina, to receive up to 99 weeks of benefits, the most in U.S. history. Unemployment checks average about $300 a week nationally. “In North Carolina, the struggling economy has wreaked havoc on hardworking families. Unemployment in our state is at a staggering rate of nearly 11 percent,” said Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Forsyth County Special Olympics athlete Matthew Blyther prepares to compete in the skating competition held at Skate South Center.

Special Olympics kick off BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – For Deborah Heath, competing in the Special Olympics is an annual tradition she wouldn’t miss for the world. That’s why she came to High Point this weekend. “She really enjoys it,” said her father, Fate Heath, who brought her to the event from their hometown of Greenville. “I come for the enjoyment myself, and it’s a fun-filled weekend for both of us. We get a chance to meet other athletes, so it’s like a family.” The 42-year-old participated in the roller skating competition practice rounds on Saturday for the 2009 Special Olympics North Carolina Fall Tournament. Cycling and soccer events also are included in the tournament, hosted by High Point for the fourth consecutive year. Warm weather and sunshine greeted the 540 athletes who came to the fall tournament from various parts of

An awards ceremony will follow. “This has been great because we just won our first game,” said Jennifer Wardlow, a member of the Forsyth County soccer team. “I’ve been playing in this for years and years.” Quinton Wall, who organized the roller skating competition at his venue, Skate South Skating Center, said the event was a tremendous benefit for those with intellectual disabilities. “This event gives them the same opportunity to participate in sports as everyone else,” he said. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Firefighter’s Sechrest charges continue to draw heat

Funeral & Cremation Service Since 1897

GIBSONVILLE – A Gibsonville firefighter arrested last month on his way to an apartment fire no longer faces felony charges, but the district attorney’s office won’t say whether the traffic offenses he racked up that day will stick. Gibsonville Fire Assistant Chief Joseph Loy was charged by Elon University campus police on Oct. 9 with flee/elude arrest, which is a felony, as well as speeding, failing to stop at a red light, reckless driving, failing to heed to a light or siren and unsafe passing yellow line. Loy’s daughter, Crystal Thompson, maintains that her father was on his way to a fire the night in question, and she doesn’t think he should have been charged at all. The district attorney’s office agreed, at least in regard to the flee/elude arrest charge. Assistant District Attorney Pat Nadolski dismissed the felony charge Oct. 15. His rea-

soning was “insufficient evidence,” according to court records. “All evidence shows the defendant was acting in his capacity as an assistant volunteer fire chief and was responding to a fire call concerning an apartment fire, that he drove to the Gibsonville Fire Department and stopped his vehicle at the Fire Department to respond to the fire with other Gibsonville firemen,” court records state. Nadolski said he couldn’t comment on the other charges. District Attorney Rob Johnson said they will be disposed of in court, which means they could be either dismissed or prosecuted. Thompson said her father was working at his shop on Haggard Avenue in Elon when the fire call came in at about 10 p.m. Oct. 9. Loy, who has volunteered with the department for more than 36 years, was driving the family’s third vehicle at the time and didn’t have the strobe light that he typically turns on when responding to a fire.

Family Service holds annual ceremony â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;W

e can look around and see many examples of despair and hardship or we can choose instead to see hope, caring and steadfastness. We can see a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Beacon of Hopeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the stories of those who have worked hard to turn their lives around and we can inspire and empower others to do the same.â&#x20AC;? That quote distinctly describes the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beacon of Hopeâ&#x20AC;? theme of the annual meeting for Family Service of the Piedmont. The quote was jointly coined by CEO/President Tom Campbell and Paul Kennedy, chairman of the board of directors. In other words, Family Service of the Piedmont sees the glass â&#x20AC;&#x153;half full rather than half emptyâ&#x20AC;? as the popular adage expressing optimism rather than pessimism goes. FamABOUT ily Service TOWN offers the Mary beacon Bogest of hope through 30 programs which encompasses counseling, victim services, prevention services, and community education. Family Service metamorphoses the hopeless into the hopeful. Imagine the lives they are changing!. This year, the annual meeting was held at Embassy Suites. If I remember correctly year after year High Pointers Tom Broadwater and David S. Thompson of Wells Fargo Advisors have most generously sponsored this event. Kudos to them. This is the event that the very prestigious â&#x20AC;&#x153;Julia B. Nile For Love of Family Awardsâ&#x20AC;? are presented by the Foundations of Family Service of both Greensboro and High Point. By the way the phrase, â&#x20AC;&#x153;For Love of Familyâ&#x20AC;? was coined by our own Marsha Slane. First on the agenda was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;firstâ&#x20AC;? in many regards. Fairway Outdoor Advertising generously donated $80,000 of billboard space to the agency. The known impact was that the billboardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Abuse is never okayâ&#x20AC;? changed the life of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Susanâ&#x20AC;? who saw the billboard. That billboard was an â&#x20AC;&#x153;angel of mercy when I saw those wordsâ&#x20AC;? for Susan, whose abusive boyfriend had threatened to kill her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that abuse was such an issue until I saw that billboard,â&#x20AC;? she added. Who knows how many lives have been saved or changed because of Fairway Outdoor Advertisingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generosity. Renne Levine and creative director Adam Owen (one of my neighbors) accepted the award. High Pointer Chris Greene serves as vice chairman of the Family Service board of directors along with other High Pointers Carroll Ann Miller, who serves as secretary, and Elizabeth Finch, who is the immediate past president. Greene stepped up to present another special award to Lin Amos, who, as written in a resolution, â&#x20AC;&#x153;provided not only the inspiration but the perspirationâ&#x20AC;? for the first Oyster Roast after moving back to High Point from â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

MARY BOGEST | HPE

Jeanne Dulion-Thorn, (from left) chairwoman of the High Point Foundation, presented the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Julia B. Nile For Love of Family Awardâ&#x20AC;? to Linda and Tim Ilderton. Virginia. Additionally, the weather must be â&#x20AC;&#x153;wet and cold, so cold as to not melt the ice sculpture.â&#x20AC;? The Oyster Roast held each March has become one of the most highly anticipated fundraisers, and this year once again will be held at the home of Lin and Nancy Amos, the site of the very first Oyster Roast. Lin was in China, so his mother, my friend Peggy Amos, accepted the award in his behalf and Linâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend Jeff Horney added a comical note as he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is amazing all of the good that can come out of bad weather!â&#x20AC;? Campbell spoke of the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenges, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the economic crisis has led to an increase in financial help which has more than doubled in the past year. This, in turn escalates other issues such as abuse.â&#x20AC;? A heart-wrenching testimonial followed as Brenda and Calvin McCoy stood before the quiet room. Brenda spoke with Calvin by her side as she told her story. Calvin had always been a hardworking man. He often worked seven days a week. Then Calvin had a heart attack and he needed open-heart surgery. He would not be able to return to work. Their house payment fell behind. Not only did Brenda worry about her husband but she worried that they would lose the house for which they had worked so hard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I prayed,â&#x20AC;? said Brenda. But Brendaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salary only went so far on the mortgage that was at 9 percent. They would receive calls to refinance, but they asked for money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we had money, we would use it for the house payment,â&#x20AC;? quipped Brenda. What were they to do? They turned to Family Services which offered to contact and negotiate with the bank to refinance at no charge! The result? Their mortgage payment was cut in half. Brenda and Calvin did not lose their home. This is a High Point column, but I would be remiss if I did not mention the Greens-

Ilderton has been a consistent corporate sponsor for the Oyster Roast and they hosted that event a couple of years ago. Additionally, they donated the property adjoining the Slane Center to Family Service. Both Tim and Linda were gracious in their appreciation. Linda called Tim her â&#x20AC;&#x153;heroâ&#x20AC;? and Tim thanked Linda for introducing him to Family

Service. Surrounded by his family Tim said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am proud of my family here. Please keep all of those families who need the services of Family Service in your hearts. We will represent this award with honor!â&#x20AC;? They already have! MARY BOGEST is an artist and writer who resides in High Point | 88304291 or MSBogest@aol. com.

Chairwoman of High Point Foundation Jeanne Dulion-Thorn made the coveted presentation. We all are familiar with Ilderton Chrysler Dodge Jeep, which they own, and people are still talking about the Ilderton Beach Music Festival this year. Caring about our community is not just word play with Tim and Linda. They have again and again put those words into action. Dulion-Thorn began the presentation, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only way to strengthen our community is to share our gifts and Tim and Linda have shared their assets.â&#x20AC;? Those assets include both from the heart and financially. Linda began volunteering at Carpenter House (for abused families) and then got Tim involved.

N.C. brewery hopes unique ingredients sets it apart DURHAM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The ingredients used at Fullsteam Brewery sound strange, almost exotic in the context of beers. Kudzu, scuppernong grapes and sweet potatoes can be found in backyards and farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets, sure â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but a brewery? The strangeness of the ingredients to the average drinkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mindset is exactly what Fullsteam, which is just getting off the ground, is counting on to differentiate itself from other breweries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to develop into being known for being Southern agricultural beers, ingredients that people hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thought of in beer,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Davis, the disciplined scientist and tattooed artist of beers whose nickname, for no apparent reason, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;32.â&#x20AC;? The Herald-Sun of Durham reported that Fullsteam is the partnership of Davis with Sean Wilson, a Triangle marketing and business veteran who has become a sort of flagwaving champion of craft brews over the years. The two met years ago at an event for Pop the Cap, the organization that successfully lobbied to raise the alcohol limit for beer in North Carolina from 6 to 15 percent. Fullsteam will be only the second brewery to open in Durham. It gets its name from its brewing technique for a Steam beer, which uses lager yeast to ferment at ale temperatures.

David Jung (left) and Johanna Kramer sample various beers at the Backyard Beer Festival last October.

Beer enthusiasts try various beer samples at the Backyard Beer Festival, which was hosted by Fullsteam Brewery in downtown Durham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think people have this impression that beer is made in industrial batches, that it somehow magically happens in machines,â&#x20AC;? Wilson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us, the Southern ingredients add the agricultural conversation thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s missing from the discussion of craft beers.â&#x20AC;? Beer had always been sidelined as the alcohol drink of choice in the South, Wilson said, a fact they wish to correct. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of demographics and temperature, you had Germans and Czech immigrants in the North, where they produced pilsners,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The South was a laggard.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we want to ask is, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What if in a parallel universe, the South was the center of beer produc-

tion?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; What kind of beers would we have?â&#x20AC;? Wilson said. With the Workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Compensation Series, the brewery will have easy drinking beers like India Pale Ale and their flagship brew, Carolina Common, to be sold in cans. The more specialized Plow-to-Pint series will be the real attraction, using heirloom grains and Southern botanicals and with experimental, odd ingredients. That series will be sold in cans and wine bottles, for draft in select locations and on tap only at Fullsteam. The brewery will begin by doing self-distribution to local restaurants and stores. And to diversify revenues in its business model, Wilson said they

Health care bill shows what’s wrong with U.S. The health care debate took a new twist as Nancy Pelosi introduced a new (estimated) $894 billion health care bill in the House, and it checks in at a whopping 1,990 pages. That’s about 400,000 words. For those of you keeping score, that’s about $2.24 million per word! If I were a member of Congress, I would never vote for this legislation, or indeed most of the bills that come out of that cesspool. My reasoning, though, doesn’t have anything to do with political parties or my views on health care. It’s simply because I couldn’t be bothered to read the thing. “Oh, you’re just lazy then.” Really? Here’s a small sample of the 400,000 words: “(a) Outpatient Hospitals – (1) In General – Section 1833(t)(3)(C)(iv) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395(t)(3)(C)(iv)) is amended – (A) in the first sentence – (i) by inserting “(which is subject to the productivity adjustment described in subclause (II) of such section)” after “1886(b)(3)(B)(iii); and (ii) by inserting “(but not below 0)” after “reduced”; and (B)

in the second sentence, by inserting “and which is subject, beginning with 2010 to the productivity adjustment described in section 1886(b)(3)(B)(iii)(II).” To me, the above paragraph represents everything that is wrong in American government today. It’s dominated by corrupt politicians and legislation that even lawyers can’t understand. Republicans, Democrats – it makes no difference. How far has America come since her inception? The U.S. Constitution, not including amendments, comes in at a total of four pages and approximately 4,500 words. The Declaration of Independence, not even 1,500 words. An elementary school student can read and understand these documents. It is time for change in America. Time for change we can believe in. How will we believe it? We’ll believe it when we can read it! STEPHEN DENNIS Hong Kong The writer is a former resident of Archdale.

If we give government control, it will cost us Two things are certain by the laws of nature. We reap what we sow, plus, you get what you pay for. All good things come with a price. We paid a heavy price for this country. Our freedom wasn’t free. Our fellow men suffered and died for it. Still people wanted change. People who thought we could buy our way out of the mess we got in are beginning to see it doesn’t work that way. We are looking at government control. All this free health care is going to cost some people their lives. The war is getting worse. We have a deficit that our grandchildren will still be paying for years from now. Bush was bad enough. By electing a silver-tongue president we have jumped from the frying pan

into the fire. Hitler had a silver tongue and destroyed Germany. Let’s hope we don’t end up the same way. By electing this president, one thing is for sure, it didn’t make you the sharpest knife in the drawer. CARL TYSINGER Trinity

Museum readies for future

Gary Craver, 266 Lansdowne Place, Winston-Salem 27107; 769-2308 h

he High Point Museum, during its 40-plus years of existence, has served this city well. And now, as the premier chronicler of the area’s history, the museum is poised for an even more lustrous future to unfold. This summer, the museum became a part of city government, operating now under the administrative structure of the public library. And just last week, the museum announced that it now has a new director to replace former director Barbara Taylor, who left in March. Edith Brady, who had been the museum’s curator of education since 2000, was named to the director’s post in a decision that anyone familiar with the museum and its operations only can salute. And it was a decision that will eliminate the time required for a new director from out of this area to get to know the community and its people. We expect Brady or anyone else who sought the director’s post were relieved by this year’s decision to bring the museum under the auspices of the city. That move should provide a more reliable stream of funding for museum operations and also minimize the potential for administrative conflicts between museum board members and museum directors and staff that could occur here or at any privately governed museum operation. While the museum is all about history, it currently is assessing the future in terms of physical expansion and development. As Brady put it, “How we function and what our role is within the community.” Additionally, we see an important component of the new director’s job will be to plan and oversee efforts to help capture snapshots of today’s High Point and the city’s diverse nature in order to maintain the continuity of the area’s historical record for future generations. And now, with a new administrative structure and a new director, the city’s history museum is ready to move on into its future.

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.

The best laid schemes ... often will go awry

oday, it seems only appropriate to remind you that the most carefully prepared plans may go wrong. The Phrase Finder Web site claims that philosophy stems from Robert Burns’ poem “To a Mouse,” 1786. “It tells of how he, while ploughing a field, upturned a mouse’s nest. The resulting poem is an apology to the mouse: “But, Mousie, thou art no thy lane “In proving foresight may be vain: “The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men “Gang aft a-gley, “An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain, “For promised joy.” The poem is, The Phrase Finder says, the source for the title of John Steinbeck’s 1936 novel – “Of Mice and Men.” Well, as far as we can tell from here, mice had nothing to do with foiling the plans Publisher Mike Starn, Circulation Director Daniel Pittman and I had to introduce three new supplements for The High Point Enterprise to you this month. You may recall the Enterprise published a story last Sunday that told you American Profile, to be part of every Tuesday’s edition, and Relish, to be part of the paper the first Wednesday of each month, would make their debuts during the first week of November. We even used reproductions of the magazines in the “teaser” in the upper right corner of the front page on Tuesday for the first American Profile to appear in the Enterprise and on Wednesday for the first issue of Relish. Plans called for us to have another story this week, introducing Spry, which was to make its debut in the Enterprise this Thursday, again with the cover of the magazine being the primary teaser atop 1A. Spry, which includes “a broad range of timely and insightful articles about health, nutrition, fitness and more,” you see, all along had been scheduled for the second Thursday of each month. The first edition of Spry, however, was inserted – a week early – in last Thursday’s Enterprise. Now, I know some of you are going to wonder if the mix-up would/could/should be blamed on the distribution center at the Durham Herald-Sun, where the Enterprise is printed every night. The answer: Perhaps. And, I know some of you are wondering if such a thing would/could/should happen if the Enterprise still would be printing the paper and inserting the magazines in High Point. The answer: Yes, in reverse.

I’ll explain. Four-and-one-half years ago, when the Enterprise launched its redesign, the Enterprise staff put together a four-page newspaper-size brochure that explained, as the lead headline read, “We had to redesign the way we think.” The story and photos OPINION told you and showed you how and why we redesigned the paper. On Tom the inside pages, we reproduced Blount old and new front pages and old ■■■ and new local section covers with diagrams and explanations of what was changing and how best to “use” the new design. We were certain that would help stem a tide of complaints about the redesign, especially addressing those of you who don’t like change – any kind of change. The back page of the special section contained photographs that showed how the Enterprise connects with every sector of the community. Wow! We had it nailed. All 40 members of the Redesign, Sequencing and Content committees and all of the newspaper’s department heads knew the brochure was supposed to appear in the first redesigned edition. So what happened? The production manager forgot to tell the mail room crew (which reported to him) to insert the brochure into the first edition of the new Enterprise. As a result, the redesign came as quite a shock to many readers who quickly couldn’t grasp what had happened to their newspaper. Back to the present: Expect to get American Profile every Tuesday, Relish the first Wednesday of each month and Spry the second Thursday of each month. Meanwhile, we’ll work extra hard to make sure everybody everywhere along the distribution line knows what goes in which day’s paper when. That last sentence reminds me of advice my high school baseball coach, a history teacher, gave me when he appointed me team captain my senior year: “Tommy,” he said, his hand squeezing a firm grip on my shoulder, “you gotta pat some players on the back, and you gotta kick some players in the butt. Success comes by knowing when to do what to whom.” I’ll let you finish this ...

COMMENTARY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2009 www.hpe.com

Obama It’s time to turn over a new Golden Leaf health care: W Pay more, get less

as there ever any doubt that the liberal Democrats would find a way to reform health care without adding to the deficit? Referring to the current House bill, President Obama stated, “It is fully paid for and will reduce the deficit in the long term.” Now does anyone really believe this? Apparently quite a few Americans do, and that puts our country in an extremely bad position. The 2009 report from the Trustees of the Social Security and Medicare trust funds say that the total unfunded liabilities for these two programs are currently around $107 trillion. The U.S. National Debt Clock shows that our current debt is around $12 trillion, and our total national assets are only around $74 trillion. Is the House bill really paid for? The trustee report also says, “Projected longrun program costs are not sustainable under current program parameters.” In the conclusion of the report, the OPINION trustees say, “For Social Security, Mike the reform options Hughes are relatively well ■■■ understood but the choices are difficult. Medicare is a bigger challenge. Its cost growth can be contained without sacrificing quality of care only if health care cost growth more generally is contained.” Since when has anyone in Washington been able to make difficult choices that would reduce the costs of any government program? And how is spending another trillion dollars going to contain the growth of health care costs? Does anyone really believe that the liberal Democrats are going to stop at a trillion dollars? The House bill came in under $900 billion only because they excluded the $245 billion so-called “doc fix.” A Fox News report stated, “The measure also drops a reprieve for doctors from scheduled pay cuts for treating Medicare patients, which House leaders now plan to pursue separately from the broader health bill.” In other words, liberal Democrats are playing the same old smoke and mirrors game that corrupt Washington bureaucrats have always played – and they’re just getting started. The main concern for most people is, “What will come out of my pocket?” A Nov. 2 letter from CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf showed that under the House bill a family of four with an income of $78,000 would be expected to spend 18 percent of their gross income on health care, and that’s only if they purchase the lowest-cost basic insurance. Keep in mind that insurance premiums will be mandatory and that you’ll have to pay more if you want better coverage. You can be sure that basic coverage as defined by bureaucrats will be very meager. Actually, it doesn’t take complex analysis to figure out if Obamacare will lower health care costs. Common sense says that health care costs will never come down as long as someone else is paying our doctor bills and the actual cost is hidden from us. Tort reform would also bring down costs, but the liberal Democrats are beholden to the trial lawyer lobby. With massive debt, unfunded liabilities and a weak dollar, you would think that our government would want to enact sustainable fiscal policies that will secure America’s future. Apparently, the liberal Democrats in Washington don’t care about our future. MIKE HUGHES is a Navy veteran who lives in Jamestown. His column appears here every other Sunday.

hen the Golden Leaf Foundation was formed to receive 50 percent of North Carolina’s portion of tobacco settlement funds, there were great hopes this organization would make a significant impact on a state impacted by the decline of the golden leaf. The foundation has never lived up to its promise, and a recent audit by State Auditor Beth Wood indicates more than a few serious issues. Golden Leaf’s problems were obvious from the beginning. One-third of the governing board is selected by the Senate president pro tem, one-third selected by the House speaker and one-third by the governor. State law provides that members of the board represent the interests of tobacco production, tobacco manufacturing, tobacco employment, health and economic development, but instead, it has become a political slush fund for politicians’ pet projects. Rather than serv-

ing people, the fund is more a servant to politicians. A good example of the way this organization operates MY SPIN is found in the selection of the Tom current presiCampbell dent. When the ■■■ founding president resigned (partially out of frustration), a search committee was tasked to select a new executive. A lengthy and impartial selection process narrowed the field to three impressive candidates, but the process was completely negated when then Gov. Mike Easley announced he wanted Dan Gerlach to become president. Pure hardball politics prevailed over an independent selection. According to their Web site, the Golden Leaf Foundation has received almost $800 million since inception and has made 825 grants totaling

almost $400 million. The frequent criticism is that Golden Leaf has made lots of small grants, none of which has had any significant economic impact but are politically popular. The audit asserts that the board failed to keep proper minutes of board meetings, made decisions in closed session which were against the law (including a $15 million grant), failed to properly investigate grant recipients and failed to provide proper oversight for grants that were given, failed to insure conflicts of interest were avoided and resisted efforts to open their records to examination by state auditors. In addition, the audit revealed that the foundation was exempted from state laws and policies regarding investments, yet receives most of its funding from the state, and it is not subject to the State Ethics Act, an invitation to abuse. This isn’t a stellar report by any standards.

Residents are justified to ask what we have received for the $800 million this organization has received to date. A strong case can be made that the benefits don’t justify the expenditures, that inadequate management controls and undue political influence might indicate we go back to the drawing board and come up with a new approach that does not have so many inherent problems. At a minimum, we need more accountability, better controls, less political influence and a new vision. We don’t often get the chance to receive $2.5 billion. It is imperative that we get maximum benefit from the remaining $1.5 billion projected to be received in this fund between now and 2025.

Cutting costs Lower quality, quantity will always come with lower price tags

lthough it is cheaper to buy a pint of milk than to buy a quart of milk, nobody considers that to be lowering the price of milk. Although it is cheaper to buy a lower quality of all sorts of goods than to buy a higher quality, nobody thinks of that as lowering the price of either lower or higher quality goods. Yet, when it comes to medical care, there seems to be remarkably little attention paid to questions of both quantity and quality, in the rush to “bring down the cost of medical care.” There is no question that you can reduce the payments OPINION for medical care by having Thomas either a lower Sowell quantity or a ■■■ lower quality of medical care. That has already been done in countries with governmentrun medical systems. In the United States, the government has already reduced payments for patients on Medicare and Medicaid, with the result that some doctors no longer accept new patients with Medicare or Medicaid. That has not reduced the cost of medical care. It has reduced the availability of medical care, just as buying a pint of milk reduces the payment below what a quart of milk would cost. Letting old people die instead of saving their lives will undoubtedly reduce medical

payments considerably. But old people have that option already – and seldom choose to exercise it, despite clever people who talk about a “duty to die.” A government-run system will take that decision out of the hands of the elderly or their families, and thereby “bring down the cost of medical care.” A stranger’s death is much easier to take, especially if you are a bureaucrat making that decision in Washington. At one time, in desperately poor societies, living on the edge of starvation, old people might be abandoned to their fate or even go off on their own to face death alone. But, in a society where huge flat-screen TVs are common, along with a thousand gadgets for amusement and entertainment, and where even most people living below the official poverty line own a car or truck, to talk about a “duty to die” so that younger people can live it up is obscene.

“health care” and “medical care.” Medical care is a limited part of health care. What we do and don’t do in the way we live our lives affects our health and our longevity, in many cases more so than what doctors can do to provide medical care. Americans have higher rates of obesity, homicide and narcotics addiction than people in many other Western nations. There are severe limits on what doctors and medical care can do about that.

Veterans are a valuable national asset BY VAN E. BRINKLEY

merica’s veterans need recognition and especially on Veterans Day. We citizens are alive, free and privileged year-round because of our country’s powerful military. Our young men and women continue to dedicate their lives in defense of this nation. They are proud in receiving the best training, education, physical and emotional strength. They meet the condition of the best fighting force in the world. They are trained to use the most modern efficient powerful weapons available. Freedom does not come easily. Our troops continue to leave families and homes to protect the innocent in our country and in foreign countries. The enemy would

put us in slavery if not for our capable armed forces. For our veterans and especially those with crippling bodies, there is no way to repay them. The physical scars for life, including emotional strain, take a heavy toll. Whether in the blazing desert, the wild blue yonder, the untamed raging sea or the vast bitter cold mountains causing frostbite, exposure and death, they went. Comfort and freedom at all cost. Multitudes of brave men and women gave their lives through the centuries. Our heroes that defended America throughout the years are forever in our thoughts and especially on Veterans Day.

We are also grateful to the medical personal that were there helping and saving the many wounded. Let us not forget the fate of our POW/MIA. Anxious family members continue to live with fears of what happened to the POWs and MIAs. Some did not return home alive, others cannot erase the scars of cruel treatment and the living conditions were almost unbearable. The strong will they had to live and to return home someday gave them a little ray of hope. There has been pain and loneliness through the years for families that lost loved ones because of wars. Our heritage should not be taken for granted. For many veterans, it is important to share and talk about their experiences. We do them an injustice when

we fail to allow them to do so. Some veterans choose not to talk about some things that may be painful for them. I believe it is important therapy of healing for most veterans to be able to vent their feelings. Thank you, veterans, you have proven your oath of allegiance by accepting the call of your government. Our freedom is the result of your great sacrifice and service. In tribute to our great country, let us remember the words of the Rev. Samuel Smith, February 1832. “My Country ’tis of thee, sweet land of Liberty of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, Land of the Pilgrim’s pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.” VAN E. BRINKLEY of Thomasville is a U.S. Army veteran.

N.C. woman reflects on 108 years of life

LIFE&KAZOO

Trudie Martin smiles as she recalls some of the stories of her 108 years in Winston-Salem. Behind her is a portrait of herself (left) with her sister Della when they were both teenagers. She celebrated her 108th birthday on Oct. 18. finds that a walker comes in handy. Otherwise, she is in good health. The last time she went to the doctor, he wanted to schedule a routine visit for three months later. Not interested, she said. She would give a call if she needed him. Her robust health is certainly not the result of a saltfree diet heavy on steamed vegetables. She believes in being generous when salting food and is particularly fond of such country-cooking stables as country ham, greens and pintos. “I eat anything I want,” she said. Every day, she reads her Bible. She reads the newspaper and watches the news on TV, and, when the kitchen floor needs to be mopped,

she’s the one who mops it. She likes to crochet. When quilts became too heavy to handle, she began crocheting baby blankets. She gave up driving at the age of 92 only because Wright thought it would be a good idea. She likes to travel, and, in 2006, she flew to the Caribbean for Dietz’s wedding. “She’s got a swell husband,” Martin said. She has no shortage of family and friends, though. About 200 people were expected at her birthday celebration recently at her church, Calvary Baptist. At last year’s celebration, Martin said to Wright that having a big party every year seemed a bit much. “Why don’t you just wait until I’m 110?” she said.

WINSTON-SALEM (AP) – When Trudie Martin was born, the Wright brothers were still two years away from making their historic flight at Kitty Hawk. Martin, who was born Oct. 19, 1901, is pleasantly surprised to have made it to 108. “You live until the Lord calls you home,” she said. “I had a good time all my life.” The Winston-Salem Journal reported that she has lived a life in which the Lord comes first and caring for others comes next. When the kids in the neighborhood were ready for a snack, they knew where to find a slice of freshly baked pound cake. At church, she helped out in the nursery. When people needed someone to sit with a family member in the hospital, she was happy to do it. She got pulled for speeding the first time at age 75 rushing to take care of someone who was sick. “She is so caring and giving and generous,” said her great-granddaughter Amber Dietz. “I have never known her to be negative about anything,” said her daughter, Sue Wright, 66, who shares a house with her mother. Martin likes to laugh and remains quite active. “If anybody says, ‘Go,’ she’s ready,” Wright said. When it comes to vitamins, Martin isn’t interested in the formulation for people older than 50. She uses the “active lifestyle” formula. Those vitamin pills are the only pills Martin takes. She doesn’t hear as well as she once did, and she

MAKING THE GRADE: Restaurant health inspection results. 2C

Price war Wal-Mart, Amazon, Target enter fierce competition for DVD sales NEW YORK (AP) – First it was books. Now it’s DVDs. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. started another price war Thursday, trimming the online preorder prices of some upcoming DVDs following its price cut on books last month. And, once again, competitors Amazon.com and Target scrambled to match the prices. It’s the latest salvo in an ongoing online push by Wal-Mart designed to make sure everyone knows it intends to be the low-price leader on the Web, as well as in stores.

The retailer, based in Bentonville, Ark., said late Thursday that it would lower the online prices of new DVDs such as “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” and “Star Trek XI” to $10. But when Amazon reduced some of its DVD prices to $9.99, Wal-Mart shot back by cutting its DVDs to $9.98 as of Friday morning. Target got into the act Friday morning, too. All three companies also sweetened the pot by offering free shipping for the DVDs being sold.

The goal of such tactics is to drive higher volume, said BMO Capital Markets analyst Wayne Hood. He noted that some businesses like Wal-Mart and Target can afford to lower their prices and still be profitable because of their low-cost distribution models. But not all retailers appear to be engaging in the tug of war, as Best Buy Co., Barnes & Noble Inc. and Borders Group Inc. all had higher prices for some of the DVDs Friday. That might cost them some sales, but also might not be a bad idea. Hood said it is important for some of Wal-Mart’s rivals to remain competitive on price, but that trying to undercut Wal-Mart, with its

huge scope and buying power, is a losing game. The retail giant sells enough products in enough categories to make up for any losses on individual items that it uses to pull people into stores or onto its Web site. “On an everyday basis, customers expect Wal-Mart to be the benchmark or standard for pricing,” he said. Wal-Mart, which generated more than $400 billion in sales last year, has been aggressively trying to stake its claim online. The DVD discounts and last month’s book discounts are part of a series of maneuvers the retailer has taken to draw shoppers to its Internet home. Wal-Mart’s book price

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

war with Target and Amazon.com in October saw the companies lower the online preorder prices on titles such as “Under the Dome” by Stephen King and “Ford County” by John Grisham. Prices dropped as low as $8.98. As books in the price war have come to market, prices have gone up, though the sellers are still discounting them heavily. Wal-Mart’s DVD price cut follows its announcement late last month that it would reduce prices weekly on top-selling items from bananas to board games and hold those cuts through the holiday season. It is also offering more than 100 toys at $10 during the holidays.

of it has to do with being a small, local business owner. This community is good at supporting local businesses.” Seeing the community’s interest in small businesses, she decided to get her company more involved within the

community. After discovering that the main sponsor for the annual Teacher Appreciation Breakfast in Trinity had pulled out, Allred stepped in. The company sponsored the breakfast and took the opportunity to market its services to one of its target

audiences: teachers who are eligible for Housing and Urban Development’s Good Neighbor Next Door program, which allows them to purchase homes in certain areas at 50 percent less than the listing price. “We wanted to show the

community that we appreciated our teachers, and we got some business out of the event,” she said. She continued the company’s involvement in the area, hosting the Big Wheel Race for children at Archdale’s annual Bush Hill Festival. The company also began to offer a special service to neighborhoods that want to hold community yard sales. If the neighborhoods contact the company, it will pay for their advertising and assist them in promoting the event. Her business also gained traction with the First Time Homebuyer’s Tax Credit, which offers up to $8,000 toward the purchase of a home for first-time buyers. She said she saw a steady incline in sales when the tax credit was put into effect at the beginning of the year. Allred is confident the housing market will only improve from here - especially in the Archdale/Trinity area where the company has invested its time. “Our area is really growing,” she said. “We feel that if we can give back to the community, then they’ll remember that.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

BUSINESS PROFILE

TRINITY – When the housing market lost its stability and began a downward spiral, Karen Allred, owner of Allred & Company Realtors, knew she would have to be creative to survive. All around her were small real estate companies similar to her own shutting their doors, their buildings remaining as vacant as the numerous houses on the market that just wouldn’t sell. “It’s been a struggle for everyone,” Allred said about the economic troubles. “Once you have high unemployment rates, the housing market is the first thing that is hit.” She first noticed the downturn in the housing market about two years ago. After working in accounting and later moving into a real estate career in 1993, her experience allowed her to foresee the trouble that was ahead for the nine employees at her company, which opened in Trinity in 2000. As an independently owned real estate company, Allred said she already was better positioned for survival than many of the franchise branches that closed in the Archdale/ Trinity area. “I hear from people that they want to work with someone who is local and really knows the area,” said the Trinity native, whose employees are all from the area as well. “I think a lot

NEW YORK (AP) – Victoria’s Secret is hoping a new push-up bra intended to boost women’s busts as much as two sizes also will enhance its bottom line this holiday season. The lingerie chain, owned by Limited Brands Inc., will begin promoting its “Miraculous Bra” this week; it sells for $48 in solid colors and $52 in leopard print. “What the customer told us is ‘We love push up,’” Victoria’s Secret CEO Sharen Turney said in a meeting with investors last week. “And we said, ‘OK, we have the new Miraculous Bra.’” Turney said the latest push-up’s debut this fall has been positive. “We cater to a young customer, and they would come into the store and start texting their friends, ‘Oh my God, you have to come in here and try this bra on.’” Analysts also say the bra could be a big seller. “We believe this could be a significant launch on early testing,” said BMO Capital Markets analyst John Morris. Seeing consumers hunt for bargains during the recession, Victoria’s Secret is offering more matching pantyand-bra sets and sleep sets for the holidays.

High Pointer Debbie Jones tests one of the sofas in the French Laundry Home collection at the Justin Camlin show space in Hamilton Square. The furniture is manufactured locally.

It’s in the bag Decades-old grain sacks hold success for local manufacturer BY TOM BLOUNT EDITOR

HIGH POINT – High Pointer Debbie Jones, with French Laundry Home, has a startup furniture company that is providing work for weavers in western North Carolina and for almost two dozen furniture-making employees in Thomasville. French Laundry Home relocated to Hamilton Square for the fall 2009 High Point Market from a spot last spring in InterHall at the International Home Furnishings Center. The company currently shares part of the Justin Camlin showroom just off the left side of the lobby as you enter Hamilton Square. When it was part of the InterHall lineup last spring, French Laundry Home was described in InterHall lit-

erature as eclectic, vintageinspired upholstery, bedding and pillows made in a functional fabric inspired by century-old feed sacks and woven in the mountains of North Carolina. Patricia Sheridan, writing for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette after the April 2009 market, describes, “Debbie Jones of French Laundry Home by Infinity Fabrics was inspired by vintage grain sacks when she developed the French Laundry Collection. The linen and hemp used for those sacks were hand-woven, mostly by women, and were a very dense weave. Many of the original sacks have been reclaimed and used as comfortable upholstery fabric. But the supply is finite, especially the ones with distinctive stripes and initials, which were woven into the fabric as a way to identify the

family who made them. Some of the original sacks used to cover ottomans and chairs are almost 100 years old.” Jones, a decade-long veteran of the home furnishings industry, has been involved with her high-end, high-middle – “a little different” – product for about two years. The grain sack fabric, traditionally 2 feet wide, now is woven in 54-inch widths for better fit in upholstering. The stripes, crests and other designs that were “signatures” when families wove their own sacks are woven into the fabric today. Describing her product, Jones says, “It can be country French, can be eclectic cottage, even can be traditional.” She says its versatility was well accepted at the recent High Point Market. Jones describes Eddie Forward, Hamilton Square general manager, as being “incredibly accommodating.” With design being a big part of her business, Jones also is happy that Hamilton Square is part of the High

Point Design Center, a collection of “distinctive designer showrooms that are open the first Wednesday year round” to the trade. Other Hamilton Square companies that participate in the Design Center project are Cresent Fine Furniture, Huppe´, Justin Camlin, MacKenzie-Dow Fine Furniture, Racshella Collection and Zocalo. Justin Camlin is a Sumter, S.C.-based company that offers 28 colored finishes, two wood stained finishes and three different distress levels, as well as two-tone options available on most pieces. Jones and Justin Camlin’s Matt Wilder say French Laundry Home’s upholstery fits nicely with Justin Camlin’s case goods to provide those visiting the showroom plenty to evaluate, while bringing some furniture manufacturing back to the High Point/Thomasville area. tblount@hpe.com | 888-3543

Hamilton Square proves good fit for young companies BY TOM BLOUNT EDITOR

HIGH POINT – Hamilton Square, the beige-colored showroom at 101 S. Hamilton St., was host to 14 home furnishings companies during the fall 2009 High Point Market. Tenants attest that Eddie Forward, general manager who has been with Hamilton Square since April 1986, has demonstrated outstanding agility in helping rookie exhibitors, especially those who represent fledgling companies, get off to good starts at the market.

A couple of companies, which fit that description with showrooms in Hamilton Square and since have had considerable positive impact on market (and vice versa), are Zocalo and MacKenzie-Dow. Zocalo is a San Franciscobased company that, since 1995, has provided what it describes as “an innovative combination of style, value and quality that fits your lifestyle ... (with furniture that is) fashionable, yet approachable, well crafted and affordable.” It has been a Hamilton Square showroom tenant since the late 1990s.

MacKenzie-Dow Fine Furniture is a Huntington, W.Va.,-based company that specializes in the craftsmanship of superb quality 17th- and 18th-century European-inspired solid wood furnishings and began showing in High Point at the beginning of the century. The company says it employs craftsmen and women in West Virginia who use centuries-old woodworking and joinery techniques to construct elegant creations that promise both enduring value and sophisticated style. Both companies made their High Point Market de-

Careers gain significance at age 60 BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

Psychologists have long maintained that 60 is a watershed year. Daniel Levinson wrote in “The Season’s of a Man’s Life” in 1978 that men entering their 60s become concerned about their legacy. Today’s 60s might well be reshaping this trend, as men and women blend skills they’ve long been using with meaningful experiences from earlier in their lives.

DEVELOPMENT Lynne Velling has been bridging with her past by teaching English as a Second Language in the Adult Schools of the El Monte Union High School District, El Monte, Calif., part time, for more than eight years. “I probably have taught about 1,500 nonnative speakers easily by now,” she says, “sometimes from ten or more countries at once” – many multilingual. Students in the three- to four-hour classes are largely Hispanic and Asian. The granddaughter of immigrants, Velling relies on her drama, English and business background, and training in counseling and speech coaching to teach. She’s also studying for an M.A. in Teaching English as a Second Language, which she anticipates receiving this summer from California State University in Los Angeles. At a time when many peers are slowing down, she’s increasing her career options. An M.A.

Here she asks student Hung Kai Chu about the acupressure tool he uses on his back during their four, four-hour classes per week. will open the door to teaching at community colleges and universities. Opening these doors wasn’t going to be inexpensive; so Velling decided to apply for grants. Just days after her 60th birthday, she learned the American Association of University Women was awarding her a Career Development Grant for 2009 to 2010. “It’s especially for women expanding their potential,” she says.

MARKETSHIFT Another 60-year-old was in a very different spot in his career. Mike Jenkins, in fact, was neither job hunting nor increasing his options. He was ensconced at Eyethink Inc., a graphic and design firm in Powell, Ohio. Prior to that, he’d worked in a PR and direct marketing firm after quick-service restaurant chains and a Detroit-area hospital. However, his daughter’s study in

Spain reminded him of his Navy years there. He’d enjoyed culture and the arts, which he now says “are what brighten and make lives more interesting.” A friend suggested he apply for an opening at his alma mater. Jenkins competed successfully against 145 other applicants for Communications director at the College of Arts and Letters in East Lansing’s Michigan State University. His work impacts 31

departments and niche academic programs, many related to the arts and culture. A family member teased him about contacting the “Guinness World Records” with a headline of “60-year-old man gets job in Michigan!” The new industry uses his skills, with a challenge: “You can’t waste money or go overboard while being very creative,” Jenkins points out. He loves how quickly the minds of his colleagues work and how their creativity makes his work better. He also enjoys being the bridge to business skills. Jenkins doesn’t believe that he could have made a similar change in any other industry. “Maybe education is one of the few places where age and experience are seen as pluses,” he says. “I’ve been told that I was hired because I can ‘do it all,’ whereas younger candidates only had done some of the position’s job duties.” Jenkins has been watching peers enter fields totally unrelated to what they’ve been doing, such as the food researcher who became a life coach. Velling wants to remain in her field, which needs people badly, unlike other fields, except, possibly, nursing. In both cases, it’s clear that wise choices tailored to individuals at 60 are reshaping careers. DR. MILDRED L. CULP, Workwise Features, is an award-winning journalist.

WHO’S NEWS

Duke quarterback Thaddeus Lewis (left) is upended by North Carolina’s Robert Quinn (42) during the first half of Saturday’s battle for the Victory Bell at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels grabbed a 19-6 victory over the Blue Devils to secure their 19th win over Duke in the last 20 meetings. It was the most rushing yards by a Tar Heel player in five years, an impressive performance for a guy who typically served as the shortyardage and goal-line back and had never had more than 18 carries or

74 yards rushing in a game. The Tar Heels didn’t have much choice after Draughn injured his left shoulder on a 9-yard gain and didn’t return. Duke finished with 125 total yards. Casey Barth had a career-

where it faced fourth-andless-than-a-yard. The Yellow Jackets initially tried to draw Wake offsides, but were forced to burn a timeout when that didn’t work. Instead of sending on Scott Blair for a chip-shot field goal to extend the game, coach Paul Johnson decided to go for the win right there. Even though his team failed to convert four times on fourth down in regulation, the Yellow Jackets offense trotted back on the field. Nesbitt powered up the middle for a 2-yard gain and scored on the very next play. Tech would clinch a spot in the ACC title game with a win at Duke on Saturday.

high four field goals for UNC. “We really were fortunate to have a chance in the fourth quarter to win the game,” Duke coach David Cutcliffe said, “because the bottom line is we got whipped.”

Wilson powers Pack past Terps

Georgia Tech quarterback Josh Nesbitt celebrates after scoring the game-winning touchdown in overtime against Wake Forest in Atlanta on Saturday. The Yellow Jackets prevailed 30-27.

RALEIGH (AP) – N.C. State’s players got back to the locker room just in time to watch the tapedelayed broadcast of the game-clinching defensive series on television. After the month the Wolfpack had, it was a moment worth watching again. Russell Wilson threw three touchdowns and ran for another, and N.C. State snapped its four-game losing streak by holding off Maryland 38-31 on Saturday in a matchup of the ACC Atlantic Division’s worst teams. In a wild game that featured a combined 752 total yards and five turnovers,

Wilson was 25 for 38 for 343 yards and the Wolfpack (4-5, 1-4) – who went 0-for-October – came up with just enough plays to secure their second win against a Bowl Subdivision opponent. “They go in the locker room, it’s like they don’t know how to win anymore, it’s been so long,” coach Tom O’Brien said. Wilson overcame a career-worst three interceptions with touchdown tosses of 17 yards to George Bryan, 35 yards to Donald Bowens and 18 yard to Darrell Davis. Wilson and Jamelle Eugene each had 2-yard scoring runs.

Yellow Jackets work overtime, deny Deacs ATLANTA (AP) – Josh Nesbitt scored on a 3-yard run in overtime after Georgia Tech pulled off a gutsy play on fourth down, leading the No. 10 Yellow Jackets another step closer to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game with a 30-27 victory over Wake Forest on Saturday. Jonathan Dwyer rushed for a career-best 189 yards and went over 1,000 yards for the season, but it was Nesbitt and the guys on the defensive side who bailed out the Yellow Jackets (91, 6-1 ACC) at the end. After the defense stifled Wake Forest (4-6, 2-4) on the first possession of OT, forcing a field goal, Georgia Tech drove to the 5

Houston, UNC ground Devils CHAPEL HILL (AP) – Facing a prolific passing attack and playing without its top rusher, North Carolina found a way to inch closer to bowl eligibility. Ryan Houston ran for a careerhigh 164 yards while Jheranie Boyd scored the clinching touchdown midway through the fourth quarter to help the Tar Heels beat Duke 19-6 on Saturday, extending their recent dominance of their next-door rivals. Charles Brown also had a key interception late in the third quarter as part of a dominating defensive performance for the Tar Heels (6-3, 2-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), who pressured Thad Lewis all night to derail the passing offense that had carried the Blue Devils (5-4, 3-2) to three straight victories. North Carolina lost starting tailback Shaun Draughn to a shoulder injury on the game’s first offensive play and got relatively little from its offense outside of Houston. Still, the Tar Heels are one win from bowl eligibility for the second straight season. “The one thing this team did do tonight was they fought,” coach Butch Davis said. “They competed and they played as hard as they possibly could.” It was the first meeting in 15 years in which both teams had winning records, while it was one of the rare times in the rivalry that they weren’t meeting to close the regular season. But it ended much like the rest, with UNC winning for the 19th time in 20 meetings. Houston finished with a careerhigh 37 carries, including 10 on the clock-draining drive that ended with Boyd’s touchdown for a 16-6 lead with 6:57 left. He also had the lead block on Matt Daniels that allowed Boyd to get to the right pylon on that 3-yard end-around.

TOP SCORES

t first glance, the New Orleans Saints look like an overwhelming favorite to march through the Carolina Panthers today and improve to 8-0 on the season. Take another look. Sure, the Saints defeated Atlanta 35-27 on Monday night to match the best start in franchise history. But New Orleans had to overcome four turnovers for the second straight week. You can’t keep giving the ball away like that in the NFL and expect to win. The Saints’ big-play defense has returned five interceptions for touchdowns so far this

season, including Jabari Greer’s 48-yarder against the Falcons. Cynics may point to that stat as ominous given Jake Delhomme’s penchant for throwing pick sixes. I see it differently. New Orleans can’t count on those defensive touchdowns every week. And Jake did not commit any turnovers in Sunday’s stunning upset at Arizona. He figures to be healthy and confident when he hits the field in his home state. And while New Orleans leads the NFL with 273 points through seven games (a stag-

gering 39 points per game), the Saints appear to be falling into the dangerous mindset of thinking they can outscore anybody at any time. Plus, the Panthers enter the Superdome desperately needing a win to keep their teetering postseason hopes afloat. At 3-4, Carolina can’t afford many more losses. I’m not predicting a Panther upset, mind you. But it is possible.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

The Carolina Panthers face undefeated New Orleans this afternoon far from full strength. Fullback Brad Hoover, the former Ledford High, won’t play due to a high ankle sprain. Backup Tony Fiammetta (concussion) missed his third straight practice Friday and is questionable. Kicker John Kasay is questionable after missing a second straight practice with a groin injury. Kickoff specialist Rhys Lloyd would likely attempt field goals and extra points if Kasay is out. Receiver Muhsin Muhammad is expected to sit out a second straight game with a knee injury. Running back Jonathan Stewart (Achilles’ tendon) is listed as questionable.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – LeRoy Vann’s punt return for a score tied two NCAA records to lead Florida A&M to a 31-27 win over N.C. A&T on Saturday. Vann’s 51-yard touchdown on a punt return in the third quarter was the senior’s fifth of the season and his eighth career punt return for a score. He tied both the NCAA single-season and career records, along with setting the Football Championship Subdivision record for career returns. The record-setting return gave Florida A&M (7-2, 5-1 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) a 31-21 lead that they wouldn’t relinquish in the final frame. Vann finished with 81 punt return yards and 51 yards on kickoff returns. Lewis Kindle threw two touchdown passes and scored on a 7-yard run for A&T (5-5, 3-4). A&M won despite committing six turnovers, missing two field goals and having another kick blocked.

Southwest, East fall; Bishop advances ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – Southwest Guilford’s remarkable soccer season came to a heart-breaking close Saturday night when Ardrey Kell pulled off a 3-1 upset in the second round of the NCHSAA 4A West playoffs. “They are a very good team,” Cowboys coach Rob Szitas said. “We had probably one of the toughest draws in the playoffs. It was steep.” Giuseppe Gentile opened scoring for the Charlotte school before Justin Jones fed Kevin Lyons for the tying goal and a 1-1 deadlock at the half. But Ardrey Kell opened the second half with a goal three minutes in by Brett

Luccia and added an insurance tally 10 minutes later from Conner Miller. “We just didn’t get the opportunities we usually do,” said Szitas. Ardrey Kell improved to 16-3-2 and advanced to the third round against unbeaten Page. Southwest’s season ended at 21-1-3. Jones’ assist was his 32nd this season, a new record at Southwest. In other games involving area teams Saturday night, East Davidson fell 42 at East Lincoln in the second round of the 2A West playoffs and Bishop McGuinness topped Gray Stone Day School 2-1 in a 1A second-rounder. The Villains will play the Monroe-West Wilkes winner in the third round either Tuesday or Wednesday.

In this Dec. 13, 2008 photo, North Carolina’s Deon Thompson (21) shoots over Oral Roberts’ Marcus Lewis during a game in Chapel Hill. The defending national champion Tar Heels soon will find out what life is like without Tyler Hansbrough. Thompson is the top returning scorer at nearly 11 points per game.

Tar Heels pin big hopes on frontcourt BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

CHAPEL HILL – Roy Williams’ coaching philosophy always has stressed the balance between the inside and outside games. But this season, the North Carolina coach said his philosophy is going to be put to the test. Despite the graduation of Tyler Hansbrough, one of the top big men in the country over the past four years who led the Tar Heels to their fifth NCAA championship in April, UNC is loaded with talent and depth in its frontcourt. “It is a little out of balance because I think we are so much more experienced, tested and skilled with the big guys now than it is with the guards,” Williams said. After winning the national title in the spring, the Tar Heels lost starting point guard Ty Lawson, backup point guard Bobby Frasor, shooting guard Wayne Ellington and wingman Danny Greeen. But Hansbrough, who has been the face of UNC’s inside game the past four seasons, was the only significant big man to graduate. This season, a mixture of veterans and newcomers will take over down low and try to fill the absence of Hansbrough’s 20.7 points and 8.1 rebounds in the stat sheet. Senior Deon Thompson, the only returning starter from a year ago, will be the leader on the frontcourt as the Tar Heels’ top returning scorer with 10.6 points a game. Sophomores Ed Davis and Tyler Zeller provided support off the bench during the title run but will be expected to take on bigger roles this season. Add in 6-10 freshmen twins David and Travis Wear, and the Tar Heels have one of the most formidable front lines in the ACC. “The depth up front this year has to be a strong point for us,” Williams said. “It’s a good problem to have. … It’s my job to try to get the guys who are playing the best the most minutes and get everybody else to try to challenge them for that. But I do like the depth, I do like the versatility.” With so many options up front, the Tar Heels will be able to throw many different lineups and looks at opponents. Williams said the Wear brothers also could

AP play on the perimeter, and lanky 6-10 freshmen John Henson, who will mostly In this Oct. 15, 2009 photo, North Carolina’s Larry Drew II shoots during media day see time at the three spot, also can post in Chapel Hill. Perhaps the biggest question entering the season is how well Drew handles the point guard position manned last year by Ty Lawson. up. “You got all kinds of people you can run out there,” Zeller said. “You can give them a lot of people with strength or you can put in somebody quicker. Based on the matchups, you can give them a lot of different looks.” Zeller also is back at full strength after missing 13 weeks with a wrist injury early in the 2008-09 season. He had worked his way into the starting lineup before the injury, but when he returned for the final 13 games, he looked out of place at times. The 7-0 forward said he’s more comfortable heading into this season and is glad he decided to return to action instead of redshirting because he learned a lot from just being on the court. Davis, who has been projected as a top-10 NBA draft pick, also will see his role expand this season. He averaged 6.7 points and 6.6 rebounds in 18.8 minutes last season and led the team in blocks with 65. Williams said the 6-10, 225pound sophomore has improved offensively, but it remains to be seen how he responds to being a top target. “Last year he was a role player, a supporting player, a very effective guy coming off the bench,” Williams said. “And now, can he do that when the defense is aimed at him? So that’s what we’ll have to see.” The player who could have the biggest impact on UNC’s inside game this season will be Thompson. He and swingman Marcus Ginyard are the most experienced players on the team and will be the ones to provide leadership both on and off the court. But while some expect Thompson to take over Hansbrough’s role down low and put up big numbers consistently, Williams said he told Thompson he doesn’t need to become the departed star. Williams said he just needs the senior to be a little better than a year ago since he’s a year older. “I don’t think anybody’s going to be Tyler Hansbrough in one season,” Thompson said. “I mean, that’s something he did over four years, leaving his mark here. So that’s something I’m not going to try to do. “I’m just going to try to be myself and just be the best I can everyday.”

Ragsdale booted from playoffs ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORTS

Tigers set for playoff quest T

he win was not dramatic on this night, the achievement not unusual for this group, the final goal not reached this season. As such, Ragsdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s postgame gathering Friday night at Simeon Stadium was buoyant rather than brash, eager more than exhilarated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What lies ahead is a whole lot bigger than whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behind us,â&#x20AC;? coach Tommy Norwood told his players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do it.â&#x20AC;? The Tigers spent the past 12 weeks proving that little has changed over the past few years. The dominant group won its third straight conference championship SPORTS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the second time Ragsdale managed that feat in Steve Norwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12 years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Hanf remained unbeaten in â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; league play all three years. Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 34-7 dismantling of High Point Central, which came one week after knocking off top challenger Glenn in a 23-10 decision, capped an 11-0 season for the Piedmont Triad 4A Conference champions. The Tigers did the same thing last year in the Mid-Piedmont 3A. And now? Onward and upward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got 24 seniors, half of them who played varsity as freshmen and sophomores, and we know what it feels like to get upset in the first round against Parkland and lose to a team like Dudley that won it (last year),â&#x20AC;? said senior receiver DeSean Anderson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All that hurt and pain, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already come through that and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to use that will to try to win the states this year.â&#x20AC;? In the 2007 season, a number of talented sophomores such as Walt Sparks, Billy Stone, Cedric Ellison, Neil Jones and Daniel McNeil helped Ragsdale go 92 in the regular season before a stunning playoff exit: 28-24 to No. 14 seed Parkland in the first round. More experience led to more success last fall, with the Tigers cruising to a 13-0 start before visiting Dudley in the third round of the 3AA playoffs. The Panthers pulled away from a 14-10 halftime lead to win 26-10 on their way to a perfect season. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad got started with the standard summer workouts, those two dozen seniors leading the way. The remarkable defense sparkled, allowing an average of 6.1 points per game and limiting every foe but one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Page â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to a single TD or less with four shutouts. The offense, meanwhile, averaged 32.1 points per game with pinpoint passing from Luke Heavner, powerful running from D-onovan Smith and big-play ability from Anderson, all of it coming about thanks to an offensive line anchored by three seniors in Elliott Cobb, Jordan Morris and Tyler Ritter.

Ragsdale coach Brien Braswell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to have won more, but we did what we had to do to make the playoffs.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just who they are, the way they do things,â&#x20AC;? Norwood offered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always good on defense, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always got a chance, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good in the kicking game as well. All of that means youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a chance every Friday.â&#x20AC;? All signs point to a third-round rematch: No. 3 Ragsdale at No. 2 Dudley on Nov. 27, with the likes of R.J. Reynolds, Asheville Reynolds or Alexander Central looming in the top half of the bracket for the regional championship. What lies ahead certainly seems exciting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We kind of remember the Dudley loss, we remember how bad that was,â&#x20AC;? Sparks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We kind of expect to do it all this year. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a senior team, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a whole lot of leadership.

Cowboys anticipate continued success in 2010 campaign BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

SOCCER GRIMSLEY 4, RAGSDALE 0

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come on,â&#x20AC;? Norwood said of a line that helped the Tigers rush for 195 yards and throw for another 117 on just 10 attempts against a strong Bison defense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t real big, they ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t real impressive. They just play hard.â&#x20AC;? Just like everybody else on the team. With memories of disappointment pushing them, the Tigers open the 4A playoffs at home this Friday against Watauga. Despite the perfect record, Ragsdale was relegated to a No. 3 seed in the 4A West bracket behind R.J. Reynolds (No. 1) and Dudley (No. 2). That, despite the fact Ragsdale handled Dudley 18-8 the second week of the season. Officials with the N.C. High School Athletic Association seed the playoffs based on 10-game records, however, making all three teams 10-0, and unless all three had played each other, a blind drawing is used. In this case, Ragsdale drew the short straw â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but as any coach worth his salt would proudly say, the Tigers will have to play them all eventually to reach the

WINSTON-SALEM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; One imaginary game ball goes to Southwest Guilfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense for a season of excellence. As the Cowboys put the finishing touches on their 20-6 win over Parkland and completed a 4-7 season, coach Scott Schwarzer beamed with pride for a group he has seen make great strides in 2009. One unit in particular exemplified impeccable consistency throughout the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All year,â&#x20AC;? said Schwarzer of his defenseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarkable endurance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so proud of our seniors, our underclassmen. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just so proud of all our kids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all 55 of them.â&#x20AC;?

Without knowing his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fate until late Saturday afternoon, Schwarzer spoke Friday of his hope of an impending playoff berth in the short-term, but also expressed an even greater excitement for the continued development of his program. In simply scanning the roster, one can easily understand the Cowboysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reason for optimism. Southwest will be returning several key pieces on both sides of the ball in 2010 to continue a successful rebuilding project that saw the team win three more games this season than last. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a good football team,â&#x20AC;? Schwarzer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re headed in the right direction. I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough, but we started a lot of young kids this year.â&#x20AC;?

One such underclassman that served as a significant playmaker this season was Airyn Willis. The junior wideout also spent time in the backfield and he carried the ball 13 times against Parkland. Of his 42 rushing yards, the most electric run came on a 23-yard TD that saw him rip through the line before busting through three would-be Parkland tacklers on his way to the end zone. With his dynamic game-breaking ability, Willis has emerged as the cornerstone of the Cowboysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plans moving forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The offseason will be key,â&#x20AC;? said Schwarzer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to lose some kids (on defense). Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some pieces on offense (returning). Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got to figure out how to put it all together.â&#x20AC;?

Trinity seeks offensive improvement as playoffs loom BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

WINSTON-SALEM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Trinity Bulldogs had a chance to muddle the PAC 6 2A Conference outcome by winning at Carver Friday to force a three-way tie atop the standings. When the Bulldogs got on the bus to leave Winston-Salem, however, two things appeared perfectly clear. The Yellowjackets emerged as conference champs by virtue of a 207 final and Trinity must prepare to entertain ideas of how to increase offensive efficiency. Carver dominated the second

half of play Friday after the Bulldogs set the tone early by winning the field position battle and scoring the first touchdown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did to us what we like to do to people,â&#x20AC;? said Trinity coach Alex Mebane. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And, honestly, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we did to them in the first half. We controlled the ball in the first half and kept them off the field.â&#x20AC;? Mario McInnis led the Bulldogs with 15 carries and 80 yards, including the initial 15-yard score. Unfortunately for Trinity, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading rusher also served as its signal caller without any suc-

cess. McInnis completed just one pass for 4 yards, while teammate Rhyne Kivett â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who opened the season as Trinityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary passer prior to injury â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was unable to improve upon the numbers, completing his lone pass for 7 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Down 14-7, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still going to do what we do best, which is to run the football,â&#x20AC;? said Mebane. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a passing game. We just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like passing was best (for Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contest). We were just trying to do what we do best.â&#x20AC;? Against what Mebane called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;best front

weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve faced all year,â&#x20AC;? the Bulldogs were unable to overcome their pitfalls. The Yellowjackets managed not only to stuff Trinityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running game to the tune of 35 yards in the second half, but also pen-

etrated their opponentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive line on the rare throwing situation. In order to win their first-round playoff game Friday, both aspects of that two-fold equation must improve.

Busch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hardest one is the last one.â&#x20AC;? Busch qualified fifth for Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race at Texas, where he is 0-for-9 in Sprint Cup races and finished 18th in April. When Busch climbed out of the car in Victory Lane on Saturday, he said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;sorryâ&#x20AC;? he won

and would make it three in a row. When asked later about what reaction he expected if he did pull it off, he said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;messing with the fansâ&#x20AC;? with his comment and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People would get tired of buying tickets to the Kyle Busch show, I guess,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two, one more to go. ... If luck is on our side and we play it smart, we could come out of here 3 for 3. That would be pretty special.â&#x20AC;?

Busch races to 5th straight NASCAR Truck win FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kyle Busch started his Texas tripleheader with another NASCAR Trucks Series victory. Busch has won each of his last five truck races, extending the streak that began at Bristol in August on Friday night when he beat Matt Crafton by 0.725

1 2

seconds at the 1 â &#x201E; -mile, high-banked Texas track. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool, man. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty proud accomplishment,â&#x20AC;? Busch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wanted to win a truck race here for a long time.â&#x20AC;? Busch has won seven times in 13 starts this season in the No. 51 Toyota,

and been outside the top two only three times. Series points leader Ron Hornaday was third, nearly 10 seconds behind Crafton, his closest competitor for the season title. Hornaday has a 197-point lead with two races left. Busch passed Hornaday on lap 98.

Lopsided points take life out of Homestead party worries. For those going to Homestead, at least the weather is warm.

RACING NOTEBOOK: Ron Hornaday Jr. and Kyle Busch are proving to be party poopers along with Jimmie Johnson. Not in the social sort of way, but in the NASCAR sort of way. Homestead-Miami Speedway and NASCAR plan a big season-ending party to crown champions in the three top series. Barring something unusual happening either today at Texas Motor Speedway or next weekend at Phoenix, the celebration this year will have about as much lift as a half-deflated balloon with its helium going bad. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the championships in all three divisions most likely will be decided next week, leaving the champions to party amid showers of confetti while everyone else yawns. Busch left victory lane at Texas on Saturday with a 272-point lead in Nationwide standings and can clinch that title by finishing at least 15th or losing no more than 79 points of his lead at Phoenix. Hornaday is 197 points in front of Matt Crafton and can clinch the Truck Series championship by losing no more than two points of his lead. Johnson needs to add a total of 11 points to his lead to go to Homestead with no

BEING CAUTIOUS

Greer Smith

Richard Childress â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; decided to hold Jeff Burton out of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nationwide race at Texas after Burtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car slapped the wall so hard in Cup practice on Friday that he was dazed and left with a headache. RCR driver Casey Mears replaced Burton in the No. 29. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt good enough to do it,â&#x20AC;? Burton was quoted as saying on Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, Richard (Childress) came to see me right after the wreck and he made the call. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m good with that. That is just how Richard is. He wants to make sure Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m OK.â&#x20AC;?

SATISFIED Brian Vickers feels good about his season overall, even though the Chase for the Championship has been so much of a disaster that he will be could be mathematically eliminated from title contention today when points leader Jimmie Johnson takes the green flag. Vickers points to just putting Red Bull Racing

in the Chase for the time and scoring its first victory as major accomplishments in its third season. He is also the winner of six poles, one less than the series-leading seven earned by Mark Martin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m concerned, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met and exceeded all of our goals for this season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sitting on the poles, winning a race and being in the Chase,â&#x20AC;? Vickers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Obviously we wanted our performance in the Chase to be much better, but some of that has been self-inflicted with the mistakes weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made. Some of it has been bad luck. But all in all itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a really good year for us..â&#x20AC;?

What you lose and what you find

don’t remember the exact thing I’d lost when Uncle Evander told me about my locker in Heaven. It might have been a fishing lure or maybe something else. The explanation was that when I got to Heaven, Saint Peter would give me a key to my locker. Inside the locker would be everything of real importance that I ever lost in this life. While I knew on a logical level that Evander was messSPORTS ing with me, the idea was appealing. Dick I imagined myself in Jones heavenly dress turn■■■ ing the gold key and opening my locker. Inside, would be my Nichols cap pistol and holster on the top of the pile as well as assorted sunglasses, a wallet, lots of socks, a bucket of Mitchell salt water reels that were lost when the tailgate of the truck opened on the way to the beach, the list in my mind went on. I’d forgotten the conversation for several years until recently when I lost my Jack Miner duck band during the Southeast Outdoor Press Association’s annual conference in Punta Gorda, Florida. I’ve used the band many times when talking to groups about the value spending of time in the outdoors. About a dozen years ago, I took the band off a drake mallard on the best duck hunt of my life. Not a lot of ducks that day, just a great day of hunting with my old lab, Ernie, on the John’s River in western North Carolina. I started the day with an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for the blessings in my life before the hunt. I prayed a short prayer thanking God for my blessings, something I’d never done before. I just happened to shoot a duck that day that was wearing a Bible verse since Jack Miner put bible verses on all his duck bands. While that band is just a piece of aluminum, it’s a tangible reminder to me that God sometimes lets us know He’s in charge of everything and is thinking about us. Every year when we get together, the press association has a story telling contest. I normally go for the humor factor but this year, I decided to do something that’s never expected of me… I told the truth. I told the story of how a Preacher

thinking of in the locker wasn’t really important and maybe there wouldn’t be anything at all in there since Evander had said that things of real importance would be there and the possessions we accumulate in life don’t qualify. When I realized the band was missing, I was mad at myself for not being more careful with it. After all, it’s just a strip of aluminum that a maid would likely simply vacuum up or drop in a trash can. Had it dropped out of my pocket, no one would have even given it a second glance unless he was a duck hunter and knew what duck bands look like. I racked my memory, trying to remember where I had it last and where it could be. As I get older, my memory, which used to be accurate, constantly fails me. I forget everything these days. The same thing happens to my friends and it seems the older we are, the worse it gets. Last month, when I was thinking about all this, it hit me that my locker would be full and overflowing. The things of real importance that we lose in life are the memories. When I run into old acquaintances, we both relate to each other great times the other has forgotten. They’re like finding a treasured shotgun in a closet you’d forgotten you had. Relating them to each other is a source of genuine pleasure. The teller gives the listener, who’s forgotten the event, a gift and receives a gift in return by seeing the listener’s pleasure. It’s why we love getting together with old friends. It’s why we value reunions when we get old. It’s why there are always smiles and laughter in the funeral home during calling hours. It’s the finding of lost memories. I realize now that my locker in heaven will be full and overflowing. When I turn that gold key, all my lost memories will come tumbling out. They’re the only truly important things in life I’ve lost. By the way, I found the duck band in the pocket of a pair of shorts when I got home.

2ND ANNUAL WILD GAME/ SPORTSMEN’S BANQUET

---

Set for First Baptist Church Rural Hall on Friday, Nov. 13 with speakers Dick and Cherie Jones. Pre-dinner activities start at 5:30 p.m. with dinner at 6. Tickets are $8 and can be purchased today at the church or reserved by calling the church at 969-5144. named Jack Miner began banding ducks and geese in the early 1900s. I went on to describe how Mr. Miner, by putting bible verses on his duck bands, had set something in motion that turned out to be one of the most inspirational moments in my life. I wanted my audience to consider how things we do today may seem insignificant, but may have a major impact on someone else without our ever knowing it. Thinking later about the missing band, I realized what’s really important is the experience, not the tangible thing you carry off the field. The real gift from God was not the duck band with a Bible verse; it was what I was thankful for before I ever saw the duck that carried the band. The real gifts were the sunrise, the clean fall air, and the companionship of a dog that was a friend and hunting partner for 14 years. A piece of stamped aluminum can’t come close to friendships made that last a lifetime or the reward of mastering the myriad of complexities that entail being a true outdoorsman. That great hunt, followed by a little assurance that my maker was thinking about me, taught me how my life is linked intricately with the lives of others. During the days after realizing I’d misplaced the band, Cherie and I enjoyed what Punta Gorda had to offer. We found a great little Italian family restaurant where Grandma sits in the back and pops bubble wrap to occupy her time. We had dinner with old friends we know and love whom we only see once a year. We spent time with new friends we’d made on our last visit and we enjoyed the natural beauty of that part of the world. OK, so maybe I lost a duck band in Punta Gorda: I’ve found a lot of friends and had great times there, so maybe it’s a fair trade. Of course even as a kid, I realized that maybe the stuff I was

Tough Texans should test unbeaten Colts Saints seek to end Panthers’ torment in the Superdome THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Once. That’s how many times the Houston Texans have beaten the Colts. When the Texans visit Indianapolis today, they will carry a 1-13 mark against the Colts since Houston joined the NFL as its most recent expansion team in 2002. Oddly, the victory came in 2006, the season the Colts took the Super Bowl. Houston won 27-24 at home. Overall in the series, the Colts have outscored the Texans 432-253. Indy (7-0) is also the only unbeaten team remaining in the AFC – New Orleans, which hosts Carolina today, is the NFC’s lone perfect team. The Colts rank fourth in offense (first in passing, thanks to the superb work of Peyton Manning) and ninth in defense. So why should Houston even show up at Lucas Oil Stadium? Try this: The Texans have never been this good. They are 5-3, including 3-1 on the road. They have the third-best passing game and Matt Schaub is tied for the league lead with 16 touchdown passes – one more than Manning. Their defense is more physical than ever, too. “It’s time for us to go up there and get a win,” cornerback Dunta Robinson said. “You can’t hesitate to say that. “We felt like it was progress when we beat them a couple of years ago. But we lost to them last year and it was like, ‘Here we go with the same old thing again.’ This is a team that we feel right now that we’re good enough to win against and we’ve got to go out and do it.” Oddly, Schaub and star receiver Andre Johnson have never been on the field together against the Colts because of injuries. The Texans have little experience at such lofty heights. They’ve never finished better than .500 and have not been to the playoffs. Indy, on the other hand, is a regular visitor to the postseason and knows quite well how to deal with long winning streaks. This is the fourth time in five years the Colts have been 7-0, even though they have a new coach, Jim Caldwell, who replaced the retired Tony Dungy. “We’ve been here before,” defen-

sive end Dwight Freeney said. “I’ve said this before, ’We’ve been 13-0 and lost in the first round.’ For us, it’s business as usual, I guess. We’re just trying to keep this thing rolling and we’ll see what happens in January.” Two more teams with strong credentials to be playing in January, Pittsburgh and Denver, will meet in an intriguing Monday night game in the Mile High City. Elsewhere today, it’s Dallas at Philadelphia; San Diego at the New York Giants; Baltimore at Cincinnati; Miami at New England; Arizona at Chicago; Washington at Atlanta; Green Bay at Tampa Bay; Tennessee at San Francisco; Kansas City at Jacksonville; and Detroit at Seattle. Off this week are Buffalo, Oakland, Minnesota, St. Louis, Cleveland and the New York Jets.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Jake Delhomme has several reasons to love the Saints. They were the team of his south Louisiana childhood, the first NFL team to put him on a roster, and ever since he left, he’s been able to beat them with regularity. The quarterback is 82 against New Orleans since joining the Panthers in 2003. When asked about the last time he’d lost a game in the Superdome, Delhomme responded, “I don’t know. I’d be lying. I’m not sure.” There’s a good reason he can’t remember. It’s never happened. He had only one home start for the Saints, his first career start in 1999, and led New Orleans to an upset of the Dallas Cowboys. He’s won all four of his Carolina starts in the Superdome and also beat New Orleans in LSU’s Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge in 2005, when the Saints were displaced by Hurricane Katrina. He even beat Tulane in the Superdome – twice – when he played for the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns (then known as Southwestern Louisiana) in the mid-1990s. The Panthers haven’t lost in Louisiana since 2001. Today, though, they will face what is increasingly looking like the best Saints team in the franchise’s 43-year history. Having matched the 1991 Saints for the club’s best start ever, the 2009 Saints need one more

victory today to give New Orleans fans something they’ve never seen: an 8-0 team. Delhomme is already calling New Orleans “the best team in football.” “What they do is awesome. It’s fun to watch,” Delhomme said. “On some Mondays you pull up film from around the league. I’ll pull up some Saints film and just watch what they’re doing. “We have to go into the Superdome thinking we’re going to play good football, because if you don’t, they’re going to run you out of there,” Delhomme added. “It’s kind of what they’ve done for the majority of their games this year.” New Orleans leads the league in scoring, averaging 39 points, or 8.5 points per game more than the second-highest scoring team, Minnesota. New Orleans also ranks first in total yards (428.7) per game. The Saints’ 35-27 victory over Atlanta Monday night marked the first time all season they hadn’t won by double digits. Considering all that, it’s not surprising oddsmakers are forecasting the end of Carolina’s winning streak in Louisiana. They’ve made New Orleans a twotouchdown favorite. The Saints aren’t buying it. Coach Sean Payton already has made his players aware he has yet to beat the Panthers in New Orleans, and the fact Carolina (3-4) has won three of its last four games wasn’t lost on them, either.

High Point’s 26th annual Veterans Day Parade, featuring more than 200 units, will begin today at 3 p.m. The parade route will be along N. Main Street, from Green Drive to Montlieu Avenue. A reviewing stand will be located near the High Street intersection.

U.S. Marine veteran Jack Austin started the High Point Veterans Day Parade in 1984.

For the love of country Jack Austin cares about the men and women who have served BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – When Jack Austin sets his mind on something, come hell or high water, the old Marine will always follow through. That’s what happened in 1945, when he dropped out of school in the ninth grade to enlist – “Me and three other guys just decided we were gonna fight for our country and end the war,” he says – and that’s what happened a quarter-century ago, when he came up with the idea of having an annual Veterans Day Parade in High Point. “If nobody else is gonna do it,” he remembers thinking, “I’ll just get it started myself.” Not only did the 82-year-old High Point veteran get it started – he organized the first parade in 1984 – he’s been at the helm ever since, stamping his signature on 25 consecutive Veterans Day Parades. This year, though, health problems have forced Austin to hand over the reins – albeit reluctantly – to Don Webb, a former naval officer who is coordinating this afternoon’s parade. Austin suffered a heart attack and had quadruple-bypass surgery in 2007, and a stroke has slowed him down this year.

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

Jack Austin dropped out of school in 1945 in the ninth grade to join the Marine Corps. “I’ve been so sick lately, I don’t hardly know what I’m doing,” Austin says with a soft chuckle, “but I think I’m getting better. I think I am.” Austin, a stoutly patriotic man with two flags flying out front at his home – an American flag and a Marine Corps flag – traces the roots of High Point’s annual Veterans Day Parade to 1983, when he tried to drum up interest in organizing a parade,

but couldn’t find any takers. “I went around to all these veterans’ organizations, but they all said, ‘Nah, we’re too old for that,’” Austin says. “So I said, ‘I’m gonna show you something – I’m gonna ride up and down Main Street on Veterans Day with a flag.’” And that’s exactly what he did, except he actually had two American flags flying in the breeze as he cruised Main Street on his candy apple-red Harley-Davidson. Passing motorists honked their horns and gave Austin the thumbs-up sign, which encouraged him to give the parade idea another shot the next year. This time, he found support, and the parade became an institution. “That first year, we had about 50 units,” Austin recalls. “And I think we had maybe 2,000 spectators – I thought it was a pretty good crowd.” The crowds have grown since then, and so has the parade itself. Today’s parade will feature more than 200 units, according to Webb. Austin can tell story after story about his tireless efforts to organize the parade, which pretty much became a yearround job, he says. One year he went the extra mile to get patrol boats from the Coast Guard.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Another year he arranged for a squadron of military helicopters to fly in formation over Main Street. There were years he ponied up the money himself to provide miniature American flags for spectators. “He’s passionate about it,” Webb says. “He’s passionate about being a veteran and honoring other veterans. He’s set a great example for our community.” Charlotte Young, chief executive officer of the High Point Convention & Visitors Bureau, recalls how Austin was a good steward of grants he received for the parade. “For as long as I can remember each year, Jack would request a small Arts and Tourism Grant to support the Veterans Day Parade,” she says. “The committee response was always unanimous, and you could be sure he would show up after the event to return any unused funds, sometimes even if it was only two or three dollars.” For his part, Austin says organizing the parade all these years has been his privilege. “I’ll go out of my way to do something for my neighbors or my country,” he says softly. “I enjoy that.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

As health insurers require people to base more treatment decisions on out-of-pocket costs, physicians should learn to talk to patients about money, according to researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. With health insurance open enrollment season under way – when tens of thousands of workers learn of increases in their deductibles and other outof-pocket costs – the issue is especially timely, said Mark A. Hall, a professor of law and public health in the Division of Public Health Sciences at the School of Medicine. “Each year, doctors are finding more and more that patients are coming in carrying substantial deductibles and having to pay more out of pocket,” he said. Co-authored by Carl E. Schneider of the University of Michigan, a summary of three years’ worth of research on the subject appears in the current issue of the Journal of Family Practice. Hall said that doctors generally avoid asking patients about health insurance and finances because physicians want what they believe is best for their patients – and what’s best might not always be most affordable. However, Hall and Schneider say patients are counting on physicians to help guide them to the best treatment decisions – medically and financially. Hall encouraged patients to bring up financial concerns with their doctors.

Taxi solves travel dilemma for aging driver D

ear Abby: Several years ago, I realized that my mother’s eyesight and reflexes weren’t what they once were, but she insisted on remaining behind the wheel. She was afraid of losing her independence if she gave up driving. Then she had a traffic accident that shook her enough to make her finally relinquish her keys – but she wasn’t happy about it. The solution I came up with was to sell her car, put the money in an interest-bearing account, and contract with a local cab company to have a taxi at Mom’s assisted-living facility whenever she needed transportation. Instead of billing her, they would send me an itemized statement and add a 20 percent gratuity, so Mom wouldn’t have to worry about tipping. In addition, they also agreed to carry Mother’s packages and groceries to her door, and if she’d be less than a halfhour at her destination, the cab would wait for her. The company even agreed to use only three drivers, so Mom could get to know them. When I visited her for dinner soon

after these arrangements were made, I learned she was the hit of her assisted-living facility! Other residents told me what a great idea the taxi service was. What I didn’t realize at the time ADVICE was that Mom was inviting everyone there to Dear come with her – her treat Abby – to department stores, ■■■ the market, even the theater. Prior to this, few of them got out at night because of poor eyesight or fear of being alone. Using the interest-earning account and realizing the savings of not having to pay car insurance, upkeep, gas, etc., nobody was out of pocket. Mother was safe, and she discovered many new friends where she lived. While Mom never totally forgave me for selling her car, I know she enjoyed her new freedom. And I was touched to meet all three of her taxi drivers when they came to her funeral. – Carl in California

Dear Carl: You made your mother’s transition as painless as it could possibly be. Congratulations for finding a clever solution to a sticky problem. No one wants to give up driving and the independence that goes with it. But at some point, everyone who lives long enough must.

Dear Abby: Want another letter for your “Can you top this?” file? I have one for you. My wife and I were invited to a 25th wedding anniversary party for my brother and his wife. We arrived with a gift, as did the other guests. It was a lovely gathering, and everyone congratulated “Bob and Mary” on their 25 wedded years.

EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) – Workers are clearing rocks and other debris from the site where a controversial golf resort is to be built by Donald Trump. The work began in late October after planners at the Aberdeenshire Council granted permission. Grass will be planted from November to March on an environmentally sensitive stretch of sand dunes to stabilize the beach for development into a championship golf course. Trump was given permission last year to build the resort featuring a fivestar hotel, 1,200 homes and two international-standard golf courses north of Aberdeen. Some local residents opposing the project have threatened legal action, claiming violations of environmental laws and planning procedures. 487324

Overabundance of iron causes havoc in liver

ear Dr. Donohue: You keep mentioning hemochromatosis in your column. What test specifically determines if a patient has this disease? My mother died from hemochromatosis. She lived only 20 months after learning she had liver cirrhosis. Her many doctors couldn’t determine why she developed it. Finally, one doctor requested a test that revealed she had hemochromatosis. I do not want to undergo DNA testing, but I do want assurance that my doctor is ordering the proper screening test when I go in for my physical. What testing should our family get? An aunt on my father’s side is dealing with cirrhosis. I would like to know for sure that she has been tested for hemochromatosis, but don’t know what test she should have had. – G.C. When the body gets too much iron, bad things happen to many organs. Iron deposits in the liver, and that eventually leads to cirrhosis. It can invade the pancreas to cause diabetes. It can find its way into the heart and bring on heart failure. In the skin, it turns the skin to a bronzed or slategray color. Many other organs also are affected. For most of us, this isn’t a worry. Our digestive tract has a gauge that stops iron absorption if we have too much already on board. People with hemochromatosis don’t have this gauge. Although hemochromatosis (HE-moe-CROWmuh-TOE-siss) might not be familiar to many people, it’s not a rare disorder. It’s one of the most common inherited diseases. For the largest majority of patients, the illness requires inheriting two genes, one from the mother and one from the father. Neither of the parents has any signs of the illness. For a first-degree relative (parent, child, brother, sister) of a hemochromatosis patient, the recommended test is the gene test, what you call the DNA test. It provides the greatest evidence for the illness. You are a first-degree relative. For screening other people, two blood tests provide valuable information: transferrin saturation and ferritin. Transferrin is a blood protein that carts iron to places where it’s needed, like the bone marrow. Ferritin is another protein that permits iron storage inside cells. Pure iron is too toxic for the cells. Sometimes a liver biopsy is necessary. Dear Dr. Donohue: I recently obtained information on diverticulitis from the Internet. It said to avoid milk and dairy products. Why? – C.R. I don’t know. I’ve never seen milk and dairy products banned for those with diverticulitis. Maybe the warning was given because lactase deficiency is another common digestive illness. Lactase is the enzyme that digests milk sugar (lactose). People with an insufficient supply of lactase develop diarrhea with dairy products and, if they also have diverticulitis, they might think their diverticulitis is

I cut back on salt prior to the tip. I flex my feet and ankles for five minutes every hour. Do you have any suggestions? – Anon. Your program is excellent. Flex your calf muscles and thigh muscles in addition to flexing your feet and ankles. That will get more blood out of your legs and less fluid accumulation in the ankles and feet. You might consider wearing elastic stockings. Pressure from the stockings also empties the leg veins and prevents ankle and foot swelling.

The pride of St. Louis National Park Service sets vision for Gateway Arch grounds BY BETSY TAYLOR ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

T. LOUIS – The shimmering Gateway Arch on the banks of the Mississippi River is St. Louis’ calling card. But the iconic monument set off from the rest of the city is, well, set off from the rest of the city. The National Park Service hopes to change that. It has released its final management plan for the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, the 91-acre park that includes the Arch and the historic Old Courthouse which draws throngs of visitors. The plan stresses the need for better links between downtown St. Louis, the Arch grounds, the Mississippi riverfront, nearby commercial areas and East St. Louis, Ill., just across the river. One idea being considered is a seasonal water taxi to ferry visitors across the river between the two cities, just one of the changes under consideration.

IF YOU GO...

----

GATEWAY ARCH: www.gatewayarch.com. Located on the St. Louis Mississippi riverfront, with parking garage at 100 Washington Ave. (parking $6 per vehicle). Admission is free to the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial park and to a museum located underneath the Arch. The park includes both the Gateway Arch and the Old Courthouse, where historic

cases, including the Dred Scott case, were heard. A tram ride to the top of the arch is $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 3 to 15. Admission to each of two movies in theaters underneath the Arch are $7 for adults and $2.50 for children ages 3 to 15. Fall-winter hours: 9 a.m.-6 p.m. daily; closed Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day.

“People are happy to see we aren’t going by a 1962 plan anymore,” said the park’s assistant superintendent Frank Mares. Architect Eero Saarinen’s “wonderful, Modernist masterpiece” built from 1963 to 1965 will be preserved forever, but the region around it has changed and the management plan needed an update. “It takes Eero Saarinen’s vision and moves it to a relevancy for people today and in

the future,” he said. The Park Service held 11 public meetings, attended by nearly a 1,000 people. Members of the public made it clear they want easier connections to get onto the Arch grounds. The plan calls for improved links to the grounds across Memorial Drive, which runs between the Arch and the Old Courthouse, by use of a single elevated deck, multiple

bridges or improved pedestrian crossings. More would be done to educate the public, improve services offered to them and to increase special events held at the park. The Museum of Westward Expansion, an underground museum beneath the Arch, would be renovated with more interactive exhibits and a research facility. The details haven’t been decided yet. The Park Service wants a major contest to be held, where outside architects and designers could pitch their ideas for protecting historic and cultural aspects of the park while revitalizing the grounds. Often such design contests are funded by private organizations, and the money to hold it hasn’t yet been secured. If $1 million or $2 million is donated soon, the hope would be to have a design winner picked by the end of 2010. “That’s fast track, the best possible case scenario,” Mares said. From there, the hope

would be to have changes to the park in place between 2014 and 2016, he said. In recent years, former Republican Sen. John Danforth had been advocating for improvements at the Arch grounds. The private Danforth Foundation had even proposed a $50 million contribution toward a new cultural attraction or destination museum on the Arch grounds, an idea backed by several civic leaders. But it also drew ire from others who thought it could detract from the monument and park. The financial offer was later withdrawn, with the foundation citing the falling stock market. Lynn McClure, Midwest regional director for the Washington, D.C.-based National Parks Conservation Association, said she likes the final plan because it still allows room for outside ideas, while protecting heritage. “The design competition will allow for whole new sets of eyes looking at this site,” she said.

Da Vinci mode: Shows about art, invention tour the country In Baltimore, “Da Vinci – The Genius: A Traveling Exhibit” at the Maryland Science Center through Jan. 31 features some of his inventions, anatomical drawings and writings, plus “secrets of ‘The Last Supper’ and the ‘Mona Lisa’ revealed in 3D animation.” In Atlanta, an exhibit of sculptures and sketches by da Vinci and his contemporaries is at the High Museum, including some never before seen outside of Europe, borrowed from the Vatican’s art collection, the Louvre

in Paris and the royal collection at Windsor Castle in England. The exhibit will be at the High until February, when a modified version of the show travels to the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. The centerpiece is a nearly 30-foot recreation of da Vinci’s destroyed horse statue, which towers over the plaza outside the High. Inside the museum are the meticulous drawings and anatomical notes he made of horses in hopes of perfectly capturing the animals’ motion.

The work was never completed because the bronze intended for the statue was used to make cannons, and a plaster model was destroyed by soldiers. Another show scheduled to remain at the Birmingham Museum of Art until Nov. 9 reopens at the San Francisco Museum of Art Nov. 15-Jan. 4. “Leonardo da Vinci: Drawings from the Biblioteca Reale in Turin” displays a 500-year-old group of chalk, metalpoint and ink drawings from da Vinci’s notebooks.

A Zorb rolls down a slope in Rotorua, New Zealand. The country is known for adventure tourism such as Zorbing, in which visitors tumble down a mountainside in what amounts to a giant beach ball. the birthplace of their country, as it was here that European settlers and Maori natives signed the Treaty of Waitangi on Feb. 6, 1840. The anniversary is observed each year as a national holiday and as a celebration of multiculturalism. The treaty was actually two documents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one in Maori, one in English â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and controversy continues to this day over the translations. Waitangi includes a marae (Maori meeting house) laden with intricate wood carvings and the home of 19th-century British envoy James Busby, now a museum. By the shore, a huge ceremonial waka (war canoe) testifies to Maori craftsmanship and bravery. Would you cross the Pacific Ocean in one of those?

We also paid brief visits to the big cities, which, while filled with kind and gracious people and good restaurants, were not particularly picturesque. Auckland and Wellington are both set on gorgeous harbors, but the streets lack the aesthetic, historic charm of many European cities and even some in America. The exception was Christchurch. Named for the college at Oxford, Christchurch has the architecture, parks, cathedral, central square and lovely river with gondolas that make its downtown seem like merry old England.

Amy Herzfeld, executive director of the Idaho Human Rights Education Center in Boise, visited the Anne Frank House Museum in Amsterdam in 2007 with a group of Idaho schoolteachers. She says she remembers the big shade tree that Anne Frank mentioned in several entries of her famous diary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was beautiful,â&#x20AC;? Herzfeld told the Spokesman-Review newspaper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very striking.â&#x20AC;? After her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hiding place was discovered in 1944, Anne Frank died in a German concentration camp at age 15. In February 1944, she wrote in her diary, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The two of us looked out at the blue sky, the bare chestnut tree glistening with dew, the seagulls and other birds glinting with silver as they swooped through the air, and we were so moved

and entranced that we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak.â&#x20AC;? And in May 1944, just three months before she and her family were captured, Frank wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our chestnut tree is in full bloom. It is covered with leaves and is even more beautiful than last year.â&#x20AC;? Boiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anne Frank memorial was dedicated in 2002, after

BOISE, Idaho (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A human rights memorial in Idahoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital city will receive a sapling grafted from the chestnut tree that grew outside the secret annex in Amsterdam where Holocaust victim Anne Frank hid from the Nazis. The 3-foot-tall sapling is to be quarantined at a Boise tree nursery for two years before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planted at the Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial, located just south of downtown along the Boise River, according to the Spokesman-Review newspaper. The Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam, in cooperation with the Anne Frank Center USA in New York, took applications from dozens of U.S. institutions interested in getting a sapling from the 150-year-old chestnut tree. In all, 11 U.S. places are getting them, including the White House, the World Trade Center site in New York, and Central High School in Little Rock, Ark., where forced racial integration was carried out in 1957.

capped Southern Alps could be seen from several vistas, including in the reflection of Lake Matheson (no relation to me, that I know of). Two whales we saw during a cruise off Kaikoura were just as breathtaking as the snowy mountains looming over the beaches in the distance. Yet for Kiwis, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to just look at the spectacular scenery â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you must experience it. So we Zorbed: We wriggled into a 10-foot-tall inflatable sphere and promptly got pushed down a mountain slope. We chose a wet ride in which youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cushioned by a small amount of water sloshing around inside the ball with you. At our hostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insistence, we also checked out a skydiving operation in Taupo. We got as far as watching the video on how exhilarating it can be before chickening out. It was a little too cold for jet boating and whitewater rafting, both of which may be more appealing in December-February, which is summertime there.

OTORUA, New Zealand â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As I tumbled down the mountainside in a gigantic beach ball filled with water, feeling somewhat like I was in a washing machine, it occurred to me that there had to be a better way to experience New Zealand. Actually, that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t occur to me until after the Zorb stopped rolling and my screams had subsided into laughter. But I have since concluded that while Kiwis may be best known for adventure tourism â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including skydiving, bungee jumping, gliding and Zorbing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perhaps the most enriching part of my trip was the cultural tourism that taught me about the Maori. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be fooled: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meetingâ&#x20AC;? a Maori tribe at a heritage center can be just as intimidating as thrill-jumping off Aucklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Skytower. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the proper reaction when a tattooed, spear-carrying warrior bounds out of a house, shouts something in Maori at you, makes menacing faces and throws a leaf at your feet? Think fast, because that spear is pretty sharp. Centuries before white settlers came and called the country New Zealand, the Maori arrived in canoes at Aotearoa (Ay-oh-teh-ROâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;-ah, meaning â&#x20AC;&#x153;Land of the Long White Cloudâ&#x20AC;?), most likely from Polynesia. Flipping through TV channels today, you might come across the Maori-language news station, but you can hear the native greeting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kia ora!â&#x20AC;? (kee-ah-OR-ah) pretty much anywhere you go. And rugby fans may know of the haka, the Maori dance practiced by the All Blacks, the national rugby team, to rattle their opponents before each game. The players chant in unison while rolling their eyes, slapping their arms and thighs, and thrusting their tongues â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite a sight. My fiance and I saw the haka performed on a stage at Te Puia, a Maori heritage center in Rotorua, after which tattooed warriors taught the dance to men in the audience. It was hardly frightening when the tourists tried to do it; then again, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly the picture of grace when female visitors were taught happy, hipswaying dances by Maori women in grass skirts. Te Puia also offered us a hearty Maori feast made in a hangi (earth oven) and served family-style in a dining room with other visitors. Lamb and seafood are local staples, as is kumara, a kind of native sweet potato. Afterward, we rode a tram to the Pohutu geyser, one of Rotoruaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many natural wonders, which include geothermal pools and bubbling mud. (The townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not-so-natural wonders include the Zorb â&#x20AC;&#x201C; more on that later â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and remnants of the Hobbiton village created for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lord of the Ringsâ&#x20AC;? movies, a few miles away in Matamata.) After an awesome dolphin-watching cruise in the Bay of Islands that left from Paihia, we visited the nearby Waitangi Treaty Grounds, a beautiful coastal property about 150 miles north of Auckland.

Parents sometimes spark sibling rivalry Q

uestion: If jealousy between kids is so common, then how can parents minimize the natural antagonism children feel for their siblings? Dr. Dobson: It’s helpful to avoid circumstances that compare them unfavorably with each other. They are extremely sensitive to the competitive edge of their relationship. The question is not “How am I doing?” it is “How am I doing compared with John or Steven or Marion?” The issue is not how fast I can run, but who crosses the finish line first. A boy does not care how tall he is; he is vitally interested in who is tallest. Each child systematically measures himself against his peers and is tremendously sensitive to failure within his own family. Accordingly, parents should guard against comparative statements that routinely favor one child over another. Perhaps an illustration will help make the case. When I was about 10 years old, I loved to play with a couple of dogs that belonged to two families in the neighborhood. One was a black Scottie who liked to chase and retrieve

tennis balls. The other was a pug bulldog who had a notoriously bad attitude. One day as I was tossing the ball for the Scottie, it occurred to me that it might be interesting to throw it in the direction of the FOCUS ol’ grouch. It was not a ON THE smart move. The ball FAMILY rolled under the bulldog, who grabbed the ScotDr. James tie by the throat when Dobson he tried to retrieve it. ■■■ It was an awful scene. Neighbors came running as the Scottie screamed in pain. It took 10 minutes and a garden hose to pry the bulldog’s grip loose, and by then the Scottie was almost dead. He spent two weeks in the hospital, and I spent two weeks in “the doghouse.” I regret throwing that ball to this day.

gym except the athletic contest. The father permitted her to roam freely and climb on the bleachers, but he set up definite limits regarding how far she could stray. He took her by the hand and walked with her to a stripe painted on the gym floor. “You can play all around the building, Janie, but don’t go past this line,” he instructed her. Dad had no sooner returned to his seat than the toddler scurried in the direction of the forbidden territory. She stopped at the border for a moment, then flashed a grin over her shoulder to her father and deliberately placed one foot over the line as if to say, “Whacha gonna do about it?” Virtually every parent the world over has been asked the same question at one time or another. That’s the way some kids are made.

This is done by repeating negative comments one has made or by baiting one in the presence of the other. It can be accomplished in business by assigning overlapping territory to two managers. They will tear each other to pieces in the inevitable rivalry. Alas, it happens every day. This principle is also applicable to siblings. It is remarkably easy to make them mortal enemies. All a parent must do is toss a ball in the wrong direction. Their natural antagonism will do the rest.

Peter Worden fixes dinner for his family in Chatham, N.J. After being laid off, Worden began carrying more of the load at home.

Unemployed husbands help at home, but will it last? LISA ORKIN EMMANUEL ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

IAMI – Lily Pabian and her husband Jeff learned to tag-team household tasks when he lost his job and she went from stay-at-home mom to parttime consultant. But the give-and-take turned into a juggling act when Jeff found work again three months later. Lily, a 37-year-old mother of three from Mapleton, Ga., kept working, but also kept most of the parenting responsibilities and housework. And experts say her experience will probably be typical as more women are finding themselves becoming primary breadwinners temporarily. “I feel like there are days where I am drowning,” Lily Pabian said. “We do fight about my overload, my work load, and he’s willing to say ‘What can I do to help?’ My thing is ’Why do I have to think for you?’” An estimated 2 million wives are now the sole breadwinners in families across America as more men than women have been laid off in this recession, according to the Center for American Progress. Experts say that unemployed husbands are probably taking on more of the housework and childcare duties – for now. But they don’t expect that temporary change at home to create household habits that will stick around after men find work again. “When men make more money they can buy out of housework in a way women cannot,” said Constance Gager, a sociologist in the Department of Family and

Child Studies at Montclair State University. Gager has studied the division of labor in families and said that while men have taken on more housework and child-rearing over the years, women still do two-thirds of it, including day-to-day tasks like diaperchanging, bathing, preparing meals and shuttling the children to activities. Men, meanwhile, tend to play with children or participate in athletic games. “It is very much the case that women tend to do urgent tasks that are repetitive,” she said. More than two-thirds of women said they are mostly responsible for taking care of their children, according to a recent poll by The Rockefeller Foundation in partnership with Time magazine for the Center for American Progress and Maria Shriver. Only 13 percent of men said the same thing. “I think the complicated question is: Do women want men to take over these burdens? It’s also the case that women feel a kind of propriety relationship to those tasks,” said Katherine Newman, professor of sociology and public affairs at Princeton University. That’s certainly not lost on Pabian, who describes the problem as twofold. “I think men don’t get it and women don’t let go,” she said. “I think it’s in our nature to multitask. I think it’s in our nature to please ... You keep doing it and it becomes routine and the routine becomes just norm. It doesn’t upset me. It burns me out.” Linda Stolberg, 46, describes a similar problem. Her husband remains em-

ployed, but she took on parttime work last year when his sales commissions dwindled. Although she’s working 20 hours a week, she said she gets minimal help cleaning up and caring for her two school-age children. “I have to ask him, and so you constantly feel like you are nagging. So you pick and choose your battles. Some things don’t get done like they used to,” said Stolberg, from Chicago. She said it’s probably not fair that she bares most of the responsibilities, but she agrees with Gager that her husband’s income lets him “buy out” of household tasks. “I cut him a lot of slack,” she said. Newman, the sociologist, notes that there had been a trend of men doing more housework and childcare even before the recession. And some families hope the change will stick. Take Ann Worden. When her husband Peter lost his job in April at a global financial services firm, she took a full-time teaching position. Now, as a fifth-grade teacher, she often comes home tired and hungry to a dinner prepared by Peter and a kitchen table set by her teenage son. “That to me was the biggest surprise of the whole experience,” Worden, of Chatham, N.J. said of her husband’s cooking. “It’s made me fall in love with him all over again. I didn’t expect that he would step up so much.” Peter said he would continue to help around the house even after he gets a new position. “I believe it will continue,” he said. “I think it will become more of a shared environment.”

Alternative cures More insurers pay for unorthodox remedies Before you read...

----

Ten years and $2.5 billion in research have found no cures from alternative medicine. Yet these mostly unproven treatments are now mainstream and used by more than a third of all Americans. This is one in an occasional Associated Press series on their use and potential risks.

BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP MEDICAL WRITER

Acupuncture, not pain pills that “make me loopy,” is what Cynde Durnford-Branecki wants for her aching back, and a treatment costs her only a $20 copayment. “If I didn’t have insurance, there’s no way I could afford to go,” said the 51-year-old graphic designer who lives in San Diego. After years of being lobbied for more choice, insurers and employers increasingly are covering alternative therapies. There are even alternative “HMOs” — networks of nontraditional providers that sell services to big employers and individuals. It is one of the last frontiers for moving alternative medicine into the mainstream, fans say. Some are pushing to require or expand coverage

as part of health care reform. Choice may sound like a good idea, but it can lead more people to use remedies they may not realize are of unproven value. It also can mean the people who use those treatments will wind up paying for them, rather than have their insurer pay for proven remedies. Here’s how: • Insurers only cover a narrow range of alternative services for specific conditions where there is evidence of value, such as chiropractors for some types of back pain. But these services are marketed for many other uses that lack such proof, such as chiropractic treatments for asthma or ear infections, and acupuncture for high blood pressure or insomnia. Patients can be stuck with the tab, even though the provider is in their insurer’s network. • Most insurers do not pay for herbals and dietary supplements because they are of unproven safety and worth. Yet some insurers, such as Aetna, let sellers advertise supplements to members, which can imply a benefit and coverage. Kaiser Permanente’s HMO carries many supplements in its pharmacies and allows its network doctors to “prescribe” ones that it then sells to members, who pay the full cost. The result: Consumers who choose alternatives can wind up paying a greater share of their health care. Every person who chooses St. John’s wort instead of Prozac for depression, red yeast rice instead of Lipitor for lowering cholesterol, or an unproven therapy instead of a visit to a medical doctor, pays out of pocket and saves the insurer money.

Tricia Myrick is one busy woman. In addition to working full time as a staff accountant at Colonial Oil Industries in Savannah, Ga., and running a household that includes husband Wallace and son Tyler, she’s back in school – getting her master’s degree in accounting from Georgia Southern University. With a schedule that doesn’t let up from dawn to dusk, Myrick might be justified in claiming she doesn’t have time for a regular exercise routine, even though it could be just what the doctor ordered for dealing with her potentially high-stress lifestyle. Lucky for her, and her coworkers, Colonial Oil makes sure its employees don’t have to make those choices. With an on-site gym – staffed several times a week by an exercise physiologist from St. Joseph’s/Candler Health System – Myrick and her coworkers can fit in lunchtime workouts without missing a beat. “I try to get in circuit training or cardio at least four times a week on my lunch break,” Myrick said. “It’s made a huge difference in the way I feel.” In addition to the gym, Colonial has an adjacent health clinic manned Monday through Friday.

Mostly unproven treatments are now mainstream and used by more than a third of all Americans. Insurers insist that saving money is not their motivation for offering or promoting alternative remedies. “In no way would it benefit Aetna to have our members using harmful things,” said Aetna spokeswoman Wendy Morphew. Instead, these companies say they are offering the choice that consumers have long demanded, and a safer way to get supplements that people already are buying from sources of dubious quality. “We’re not suggesting you buy this. But if you buy this, here is a place to get it safely,” said R. Douglas Metz, a chiropractor who is chief health services officer of American Specialty Health Inc., of San Diego. It is the largest of about half a dozen firms that provide complementary and alternative medicine services to insurers, employers and individuals. Like an HMO, it has

15,000 chiropractors, 6,000 acupuncturists, 6,000 massage therapists and others in its network. About 13 million Americans are covered or eligible to use its services, including Durnford-Branecki, who works for the firm. Aetna became one of its customers two years ago. A recent Aetna newsletter told members they could get at least a 15 percent discount and free shipping on more than 2,400 health and wellness products offered through American Specialty, including vitamin and herbal supplements, aromatherapy products and homeopathic remedies. “They offered a great program,” credentialing providers in their network and finding good supplement suppliers, said Robin Downey, head of product development for Aetna. “We have members who come to us and ask us for these services. When

we can get a discount for them, that’s something we are able to pass on,” although Aetna also recommends that members talk with their primary doctors about anything they plan to try, she said. The discount program is “an offering,” not a recommendation to use a product, said Dr. Robert McDonough, who develops clinical policies for Aetna. Metz, of American Specialty Health, said: “We only sell products for which there is no known evidence of risk. Our rule is, if a healthy person can safely take the product we will sell it.” However, he sees great danger in people diagnosing and treating their own ailments, a mindset he described as “I’ve got a headache and I’m going to go on the Internet and see if there’s a dietary supplement that can help me.” Metz also does not use any of these remedies himself.

On Jan. 14, Bernard L. Madoff leaves Federal Court in New York. A question about the Madoff pyramid scheme scandal is being answered as part of the weekly column Ask AP.

Questions concern geo-engineering, Madoff’s assets THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Purposely polluting the upper atmosphere? Reflecting sunlight with giant space mirrors? These aren’t the tactics of a Hollywood supervillain — they’re controversial “geo-engineering” ideas that some say would help combat global warming. Is there any chance they would help? Curiosity about geoengineering 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. I recently watched a couple of news reports on the devastation that Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme has done to investors’ lives and all they worked for. Have or will his assets be sold and distributed to those who have proof of being involved in his scam? Rick Vehovc Springfield, Ill. A. Bernard Madoff’s personal assets, estimated to be worth about $100 million, are being sold now so the money can be distributed to Madoff’s thousands of victims. Just days ago, the U.S. Marshals Service announced that Madoff’s Long Island beach house sold for $9.41 million, more than a half million more than the asking price. His Manhattan

Associated Press Writers, New York

penthouse is on sale for $10 million and his Florida property is being offered for $8.5 million. Meanwhile, the government is selling his yachts and other treasures for tens of millions of dollars more. In addition, a court-appointed trustee has sued Madoff’s family members to recover nearly $200 million that he says they received as a result of the fraud. But the trustee, Irving Picard, has not stopped there. He is also suing some of Madoff’s customers — people he says received so much more than they invested that they must have known that a fraud was happening. Picard says nobody received more fraud proceeds than the $7 billion taken in by entities controlled by Florida philanthropist Jeffry Picower and his wife, close friends of Madoff. Picower was found dead in his pool Sunday of an apparent heart attack. Picard also has sued J. Ezra Merkin in New York and Stanley Chaise in Los Angeles, longtime Madoff associates who, like the Picowers, have denied any wrongdoing. And Picard has sued an overseas hedge fund, Harley International Ltd., saying it should have known that its $1 billion in returns were fraudulent. Picard says any money collected from the legal actions will be distributed to cheated investors. Larry Neumeister and Tom Hays

Q. In the recently published book “SuperFreakonomics,” the chapter on using “geoengineering” to mitigate global warming stirred up some controversy. What are the prospects of geo-engineering, and how effective could it be at cooling the Earth slightly? Daniel Lippman Washington A. There are several different types of geo-engineering. They include purposely polluting the upper atmosphere to reflect more sunlight (as if a volcano spewed ash into the air), construction of giant space mirrors to reflect sunlight, artificial trees that suck carbon dioxide out of the air, and seeding the ocean to encourage more carbon-sucking algae. There have been computer models and calculations — that’s all that can be done at this point — supporting the idea that purposeful pollution could cool the weather a bit. The other options are far less studied. Advocates and some groups are calling for more study — though not action. The big debate, though, is not whether it would work, but whether it should be done. Proponents say global warming is such a crisis that something has to be done. Opponents say mankind has a bad record of tinkering with Mother Nature and that there are all sorts of possible unforeseen side effects that could be as bad as climate change, if not worse.

Officers sniff out meth lab BY RICHELLE BAILEY MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

MARION – A local woman who was buying an excessive amount of cold medication led investigators straight to her meth lab, authorities say. Agents with the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation obtained an arrest warrant for Wendi Causby Cannon, 44, of 210 Daylily Drive in Marion after she violated the pseudoephedrine law on three occasions, according to officers. The state’s pseudo-

ephedrine law puts a cap on the amount of certain cold medications that can be bought by one person during a given time. Investigators say they went to Cannon’s home Wednesday to serve the warrant and discovered, outside the residence, items commonly used to manufacture the drug. They obtained a search warrant for the house, and found meth-making materials inside. In addition to the pseudoephedrine law violation, Cannon was charged with two counts of possession of an immediate

precursor chemical used to manufacture methamphetamine and one count each of manufacturing methamphetamine and felony possession of methamphetamine. The other occupant of the residence, 51-year-old Darrell Ray Wilson, was charged with three counts of possession of an immediate precursor chemical used to manufacture methamphetamine and one count each of felony possession of methamphetamine, manufacturing methamphetamine and maintaining a place to keep a controlled substance.

Biomass waste gets own Internet site BY LYNN BONNER MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

RALEIGH – It’s like Craigslist for people looking for food scraps in industrial-size mounds or used cooking oil by the drum. A Web site launched by North Carolina state government seeks to match companies looking to get rid of tubs of oil and tons of wood chips with companies that can turn them into something else. “They can barter, they can give it away, they can sell it,” said Tom

Rhodes, an environmental specialist with the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources. “It’s to keep materials out of the landfill.” The site, N.C. Biomass Trader, was spun off from N.C. Waste Trader, which lists all sorts of industrial leftovers, including 16 tons of bulk toothpaste, 3 tons of upholstery cuttings and 96 tons of wood blocks. So much biological material started to populate the list that the state decided such discards deserved their own site, Rhodes said.

The state environmental agency announced the new online waste exchange last month. On the list of available products is 14 tons of wood dust, available every two weeks, a weekly supply of 6,000 gallons of cooking oil, and 500 cubic yards of wood chips, also available every week. Piedmont Biofuels in Pittsboro uses the state site to look for used cooking oil it turns into biofuel, and for customers for its production byproducts, marketing manager Russell Harper said.

Underwood looks for something different BY CHRIS TALBOTT ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

ASHVILLE, Tenn. – Pop-country has made superstars out of acts like Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift and more, but the term is not particularly endearing in Nashville, even to the artists who have come to define it. “I hate saying pop-country – I hate using that,” Carrie Underwood says during a recent interview. Underwood, who has sold more than 10 million albums since her

2005 debut with hits that have appealed to both the MTV and CMT set, prefers to describe such music as “contemporary.” But she acknowledges the sonic shift between some of her childhood idols and today’s country stars. “I loved Alan Jackson and Brooks & Dunn, those were the people that really first made me love country music. Then there were people like Bryan White who were like coming on the scene,” the 26-year-old Oklahoma native explains. “And he was one of the people that was like ‘OK, they don’t have to all

sound like this.’ People can sound all kind of ways.” “I’ve had people tell me, ‘I never listened to country music until I saw you on “American Idol,” and now I’ve been to a Rascal Flatts concerts, and I went and saw so and so,’ ” she adds. “And it’s wonderful that we all kind of have our place in country music and we all pull listeners in for different reasons, and because of that we can hear everything.” Her third album, “Play On,” out last week, stretches her country boundaries even further.

Not only did the she re-team with “American Idol” judge and pop hitmaker Kara DioGuardi, who worked with her on her multiplatinum sophomore album, “Carnival Ride,” she also worked with producers known for producing smashes for the likes of Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson and Katy Perry (Max Martin), and Eminem (Mike Elizondo). “I love all kinds of music and I think it’s all kinds of fun when you take a slightly different element and you bring it to you and incorporate that into your music,” she says.

While he admits to not really following the theater scene prior to “The Understudy,” he has been busy making television shows like “Saved by the

Bell,” “NYPD Blue,” and “Raising the Bar” on TNT. He admits to practicing his new lines while walking to the theater, in a cab and on the subway. “A lot of questions my character brings up are some of the questions I had,” admits Gosselaar. “ ‘What’s a half-hour call? What’s the process of an understudy? So, the un-

derstudy is really never gonna go on (stage)?’ “I had the same questions that Jake has in the play. I had to ask what the fourth wall was (where a character speaks directly to the audience.) The script says, Justin (Kirk) breaks the fourth wall. I said, ‘Fourth wall? Where?’ ”

Broadway faces a busy, if uneasy fall season BY MICHAEL KUCHWARA AP DRAMA WRITER

EW YORK – The abrupt closing last Sunday of Neil Simon’s “Brighton Beach Memoirs” after only nine performances has cast a brief, uneasy shadow over Broadway’s fall season, ironically one of the busiest in years. And the revival’s collapse has had a ripple effect, forcing the cancellation of a second Simon production, “Broadway Bound,” which was to have opened at the same theater (the Nederlander) in December and then run in repertory with “Brighton Beach.” “A lot of nice people on stage

and off will be out of work and a lot of good partners and investors will have lost a great deal of money,” producers Emanuel Azenberg and Ira Pittelman said in a statement. “They all deserve better. It makes us sad.” Yet its failure stands in contrast to the healthy box office activity of several star-driven productions such as “A Steady Rain,” featuring the one-two punch of Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig; a revival of “Hamlet,” starring Jude Law as Shakespeare’s melancholy Danish prince, and “God of Carnage,” last season’s best-play Tony winner, with a cast of James Gandolfini, Marcia Gay Harden, Jeff Daniels and Hope Davis.

The two-character “Rain” has proven to be particularly potent at the box office, regularly grossing more than $1.2 million each week, more than most musicals. “Carnage” has maintained its high grosses, too, even after a sixweek summer hiatus for its stars. Whether that momentum will be sustained when the show’s new cast – Jimmy Smits, Christine Lahti, Annie Potts and Ken Stott – take over Nov. 17 is uncertain. The revival of “Brighton Beach Memoirs,” a show first seen on Broadway in 1983, did meager business during its three weeks of previews, grossing less than $125,000 during the week before its Oct. 25 opening.

Ease holiday stress: Shop the whole year S

ILVER SPRING, Md. – Early morning Dec. 26, I will stumble into the cold, hair tangled, bathrobe askew and eyes half shut. I will drag in the heavy newspaper, and over a steaming cup of coffee, begin to attack the pages with scissors. Out comes the “extra savings” coupon for the department store. And then I will merrily, merrily shop till I can barely walk. For me, the day after Christmas marks the beginning of the next holiday shopping season. And that is why I am twothirds finished with this year’s gift buying. Throughout the year, I find opportunities to purchase and make gifts for family members, friends, party hosts, daycare providers and more. It’s partly about economics, but it’s also to preserve sanity: Why drag a 5-yearold around a mobbed mall in December? Why worry about what to get people when you’re busy baking cookies, visiting and entertaining family members? About 13 percent of adults begin their holiday buying before September, according to BIGresearch, a firm that tracks consumer behavior. Those early

• Early October: Time to get serious. I make a holiday gift list and call my sister to compare notes. We’ll split gift responsibilities. I’ll handle the main gift for Mom this year, and she’ll take Dad. At Starbucks, I grab a $20 gift certificate for my sister. Then I order a case of red wine to prepare for unexpected invites around holiday time. • Oct. 17: My daughter and I meet my friend and her two sons at The Pottery Stop in Ellicott City, where the kids busily paint bowls, tree ornaments and other items for their gifts. • Oct. 18: Time to empty my shopping cart at Amazon.com. For weeks, I’ve been dropping things in as I remember them. Before I make my purchases at Amazon.com, I look at those Ecco boots and sigh. No boots for me. Then I brighten up. Maybe I’ll get a pair for Christmas.

So let’s talk about shopping around the calendar. • Dec. 26 through February: I sniff out serious seasonal discounting, strolling by the sales racks at Nordstrom, Talbots and other retailers. • February: Cruise by my favorite, tucked-away consignment shops. By now, the well-heeled ladies have acted on New Year’s resolutions to clean out their closets. I’ve scored three new Dooney & Bourke leather purses, tags and all, for about a quarter of the retail price. • March: Find treasure at an annual powwow in Denver. I pick up a load of Native American pottery, perhaps enough to last till Christmas 2010. • April: While others shop for swimwear, I am looking for slashed prices on wool, flannel and fleece. I surf over to the sales sections of LLBean. com and toss in my online shopping cart a pink coat for my daughter, mittens and snow boots. • August: While cleaning out the guestroom closet, I find ... leftover gifts intended for Christmas 2008! Extra bonus! • September: A colleague presents a catalog of unique holiday presents; I snag relatively inexpensive gift bags, an artsy-craftsy snowman kit, and stocking stuffers like an emergency whistle/flashlight and a pair of rubber balls with bumps on them that make your laundry dry faster.

Commercial real estate loans face tougher guidelines WASHINGTON (AP) – Banks must accurately identify their potential losses when modifying troubled commercial real estate loans under federal guidelines issued recently. Regulators have warned that rising losses on commercial real estate loans pose risks for U.S. banks, with small and midsize banks especially vulnerable. Nearly $500 billion in commercial real estate loans are expected to come due annually over the next few years. Agencies including the Fed-

Nearly $500 billion in commercial real estate loans are expected to come due annually. eral Deposit Insurance Corp., Federal Reserve and Office of Thrift Supervision released the new guidelines for banks, which emphasize that modifying loans in a prudent fashion is

often in the best interest of both the bank and the creditworthy commercial borrower. Under the guidelines, loans to creditworthy borrowers that have been restructured and are current won’t be classified as high risk by regulators solely because the collateral backing them has declined to an amount less than the loan balance. Banks that put prudent modifications into effect after making a full review of the borrower’s financial condition “will not be subject to criticism (by regu-

lators) for engaging in these efforts,” even if the reworked loans end up being classified as high risk, the agencies said. They said their bank examiners will take “a balanced approach” in evaluating banks’ risk management practices in this area. Bank failures for the year hit 106 last week, the most since 1992 at the height of the savingsand-loan crisis, as institutions nationwide have succumbed under the weight of soured real estate loans and the recession. The failures have cost the

FDIC’s fund that insures deposits an estimated $25 billion so far this year and are expected to cost around $100 billion through 2013. To replenish the fund, which has fallen into the red, the agency wants the roughly 8,100 insured banks and savings institutions to pay in advance $45 billion in premiums that would have been due over the next three years. Depositors’ money – insured up to $250,000 per account – is not at risk, with the independent FDIC backed by the government.

Know your options when facing default W hen a homeowner faces default on their mortgage, there may be two options: foreclosure or short sale. Foreclosure can be devastating, both emotionally and financially. A short sale, or one in which the lender accepts a selling price less than the amount owed, is a better option for both the lender and the homeowner. Regrettably, nearly seven out of 10 homeowners proceed through foreclosure without ever listing their home for sale. This is due largely to perceived myths about the process, and

we need to put a few of these misconceptions to rest. First, homeowners assume the bank would rather foreclose than accept a short sale. Not REAL ESTATE true – foreclosure Jeannene is often more costly Poarch for the lender, and ■■■ short sales often sell for more than foreclosed listings. The banks are trying anything possible, within reason, to avoid the foreclosure process.

Next, homeowners believe there is a stigma attached to short sale listings, and that buyers have no interest in such properties. Not true – to the contrary, many smart buyers are specifically seeking out such offerings for the value they present compared to traditional listings. Finally, homeowners often assume that there’s not enough time to close a short sale before foreclosure is final. Not true – foreclosure is a lengthy process and there is time to negotiate a better result, but you need to start today. Find a Realtor who

re you planning to embark on a major housing move? And do you wish to take a methodical approach to the change, giving yourself several months of lead time to research your options before buying your next property? If so, you may be among the wisest of homebuyers, according to Eric Tyson, a personal finance expert and co-author of “Home Buying for Dummies.” “Homebuyers should always take the time they need to compare neighborhood alternatives before moving,” Tyson says. Spending ample time to research their options is especially important for those planning a dramatic lifestyle change, such as leaving a suburban house in favor of an urban condo-apartment, or vice versa. Likewise, those moving from one part of the country to another are smart to take their time. “Making a major housing move is analogous to a big career change. Both can have consequences for years to come, including financial consequences,” Tyson says. Here are several pointers for long lead-time buyers: • Find a seasoned real estate agent to help guide you. People who are relocating, whether for a job change or a retirement move, are well-advised to search for an agent who has years of experience selling homes in any community they’re considering, says Tom Early, a real estate broker and former president of the National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents (www.naeba.org). Before you start looking at specific properties, a strong agent will help you navigate the new locale, supplying you with data on home prices and valuation trends, relative school performance statistics and information on nearby amenities, such as parks and hikerbiker trails. • Drop any agent who seeks to rush you to a premature conclusion. Although agents are compensated on commission, and therefore don’t make any money until a sale goes through, a reputable one won’t try to hurry you into a purchase before you’re ready, Tyson says. Of course, it’s not fair to ask the agent to spend multiple weekends showing you property unless you’re progressing toward your goal of finding the best available neighborhood and home in your price range. Every veteran agent has had to cut ties with clients who looked continuously without any serious intention of buying. Still, as Tyson says, it’s not unreasonable to spend up to six months doing intermittent (yet focused) outings with an agent before committing to a property purchase in an area that’s new to you, Tyson says. • Augment your search with visits to open houses.

If you’re a long leadtime buyer planning a major housing change, you needn’t rely solely on your agent to help you sort through your choices. You can do much of the footwork on your own, REAL ESTATE Early says. “By visiting a lot of open houses, you can narEllen row down what you do Martin and don’t like in a home,” ■■■ he notes. Many open houses are heavily advertised with street signs posted by the listing agents for the properties. If you’re considering condo-apartments, however, Early suggests you consult local newspaper advertising for open house details. • Do on-the-ground research with the locals. As you develop a short list of housing alternatives, some of the most useful sources of realistic information are those who live and work in the areas you’re considering. “Unless they’re trying to unload their home, the neighbors will tell you the real skinny about traffic tie-ups, school problems and noise issues,” Early says. What’s the best way to approach neighborhood residents? He recommends you walk through the community on a weekend afternoon when many people are likely to be out in their yards. Tell them you admire their neighborhood and are considering a move there. Then feel free to politely pose a few questions. Those considering a condo-apartment may find it harder to chat with a building’s residents, though some may talk to you as they enter or exit the complex. Also, an agent who lists property in that building may also line up contacts for you. • Don’t rule out a short-term rental. If you’re like many established homeowners planning a housing change, you’re resistant to the idea of taking a rental, even for a short time, until you can check out neighborhoods in a new city or become familiar with a different type of housing. But Early contends that renting for a few months can be a good idea for people who want more time to explore their choices before submitting a contract to buy a place. And he says that one way to find property owners willing to rent for a short time is to ask listing agents if their home-selling clients would be willing to rent a vacant home that’s gone unsold for a lengthy period. “You’re a lot better off renting for three to six months than rushing into a purchase just to meet some arbitrary deadline,” Early says.

James T. Roach honored with posthumous RCA National Award SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

GREENSBORO – James T. Roach, a Realtor and civic leader who owned Roach Realty in Greensboro prior to his death in September of 2008, has been named one of 25 recipients of the 2009 Realtors Commercial Alliance National Award. Roach, a Certified Commercial Investment Member, was among a

select group of individuals recognized for his outstanding professional achievements in commercial real estate. The winners will be recognized at the National Association of Realtors 2009 Annual Conference and Expo, which will be held in San Diego this month. The Realtors Commercial Alliance National Awards Program acknowledges members

of the National Association of Realtors and its institute affiliates who received an award from their state or local Realtor commercial group for their professional excellence. Roach served as the GRRA president in 1990 and was named the association’s Realtor of the Year in 1997. In December 2008, he was posthumously inducted into the GRRA Hall of Fame.

Congressional hearing focuses on foreclosures ATLANTA (AP) – Foreclosures in the metro-Atlanta area and bank failures throughout Georgia were the focus of a congressional field hearing at the state Capitol. Last week’s hearing was led by an unlikely pair of congressmen – Dennis Kucinich and

Lynn Westmoreland. Kucinich, an Ohio Democrat, is among the most liberal members of Congress and Westmoreland, of Georgia, is considered one of the most conservative. Kucinich is chairman of the Domestic Policy Subcommittee of the House Oversight and Gov-

ernment Reform Committee. He blamed “ruthless and largely unregulated predatory lenders” for trying to make a quick profit in Atlanta’s low-income neighborhoods. Westmoreland said the region’s high number of foreclosures are “destroying wealth.”
