Triad jobless rates drop in July BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The job scene saw slight improvement last month when unemployment rates dropped in the city and across the Triad and state. The unemployment rate fell from June to July in the city of High Point and in Guilford, Randolph, Forsyth and Davidson counties, according to figures released Friday by the N.C. Employment Security Commission. Rates also fell in 86 of the state’s 100 counties. But officials note the

majority of rates remain high. “Unemployment rates dropped in the majority of the state’s 100 counties in July,” said ESC Chairman Lynn Holmes. “However, over half of our counties had unemployment rates over 10 percent. Local

communities continue to be challenged by the current economic conditions.” The city of High Point’s jobless rate decreased from 11.2 percent in June to 11 percent in July. At the same time last year, the city’s unemployment

rate sat at 12.2 percent. According to data, the city’s unemployment rate has been above 10 percent every month since February. County rates across the Triad also dropped, with Guilford’s rate decreasing from 11 percent in June to 10.8 percent in July. Davidson’s rate dropped from 12.1 percent in June to 11.7 percent in July. Randolph saw its unemployment rate dip below 10 percent to 9.7 percent. North Carolina had 46 counties at or below the state’s unadjusted employment rate of 9.9 percent. Rates also decreased

in the state’s 14 metropolitan statistical areas, falling from 10.6 percent to 10.9 percent in the Greensboro-High Point metropolitan area. “While it’s good to see unemployment numbers fall, we’ve got more work to do to get out of this recession,” said Alexandra Forter Sirota, policy analyst with the NC Justice Center’s Budget & Tax Center, in a statement Friday. “North Carolina needs new job-creation policies, like subsidies to help private employers hire new workers, to get our economic engine running.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Uptown Thomasville THOMASVILLE – A group aimed at developing partnerships and implementing plans that encourage revitalization, community involvement and business growth in downtown Thomasville has received nonprofit status. Uptown Thomasville Inc., a locally funded nonprofit organization, received its nonprofit status from the N.C. Secretary of State’s office on July 20. The

‘Obviously, we need to get more people in downtown Thomasville.’ Joe Hedgpeth Uptown Thomasville co-chairman group is composed of residents, professionals, property owners and business owners who want to re-establish the Uptown Business District in Thomasville into a thriving, diverse and economically vibrant city center, according Uptown Thomasville’s mission statement. Since being established, the group has been sending newsletters to its members informing them of events happening in the city. It also has been in talks with city officials concerning locating signage in different areas of the town to promote events. Joe Hedgpeth, owner of Best In Show Art Gallery at 20 Salem St., is the co-chairman of Uptown Thomasville. He said there’s a need for a group, such as Uptown Thomasville, because the organi-

----

zation can ensure business owners know when an event is going on so they can open their store for it. “Before this organization was formed, there were two groups trying to do the same thing, so we joined together,” Hedgpeth said. “Obviously, we need to get more people in downtown Thomasville. The main thing is to have more events downtown, making the downtown more people friendly.” Nancy Higgins Horner, of Horner & Associates at 109 Salem St., is the secretary/treasurer of Uptown Thomasville. She said there had been talk of forming a Thomasville Uptown Merchants Association, but that idea was nixed because the group is going to contain more than just merchants. “I’m playing a big role in it, and we are not a merchant,” she said. “It’s inclusive. In order to really make this work, it needs to go beyond the merchants, because there are a lot of service businesses in uptown. It just needs to be all-encompassing to be viable.” The exact area of what Uptown Thomasville encompasses still is being worked out, Horne said. “It has been discussed that it would be the Historic District, but that has not been finalized,” she said. “We are just getting started.” Dale Everhart, owner of Forest’s Jewelers at 34 Salem St., said he didn’t see anything other than a positive with the formation of Uptown Thomasville. He said he hopes more people will come to Uptown Thomasville with the group promoting it. Currently, Uptown Thomasville has about 60 mem-

Stone supplier opens warehouse in city ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – Cosmos, a Raleighbased importer and wholesale supplier of granite stone for commercial and residential building projects, has opened a facility in High Point. Cosmos opened a showroom and warehouse in a 21,000square-foot space at 2415 W. English Road earlier this month. Two people have been hired to man the facility, which also includes an office, and the facility currently is hiring, said manag-

er Rusty Parham. Parham said the company chose High Point because another stone distributor recently closed its doors and there was a void left in the area. “We’re starting out small because we have to get established,” he said. “The market for the area is great, so that’s why we’re here.” The showroom caters to the trade and offers 1,000-pound slabs of stone to fabricators, Parham said. It eventually plans to carry 150 different

colors of stone. “We’re trying to get the place filled up with stone now,” he said. “But we definitely want to bring more jobs to the area.” Hiring depends on the economy, and future jobs would include more truck drivers, warehouse staff or office personnel, Parham said. The company also has operations in Chicago, Atlanta and Charlotte, and soon will open a facility in Tualatin, Ore., according to its website, www. cosmosgranite.com.

Three accused of attacking homeowner to steal guns ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

RANDOLPH COUNTY – Three people face charges of aggravated assault and other offenses in an alleged plot to steal firearms from the home of an elderly Randolph County man. Randolph County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a burglary call at a Colonial Loop Road residence near Randleman early Friday morning and discovered that the homeowner, 68-year-old Jerry Maurice Short, had been lured outside his house and attacked by multiple suspects, authorities said. His assailants then entered his residence

33,000-penny property tax payment refused CLE ELUM, Wash. (AP) – A businessman who tried to pay a property tax bill with 33,000 pennies got turned down by a county treasurer in Washington state, who said she didn’t have the staff to count them. Ron Spears told the

she said. “Otherwise, I would probably still be working.” Opinions on the local streets seem to coincide with a recent Associated Press poll that showed 61 percent of those surveyed believe the economy has gotten worse or stayed the same on on President Barak Obama’s watch. Jessamyn Czajkowski of High Point said economic conditions “feel about the same as they were” in 2008. The mother of two said she has an optimistic view for the future, though. “I’m hopeful things are getting better, but it still seems the same,” she said. “I guess I try to look at the positive side. After all, when you’re down so far, you can only go back up.” Czajkowski also cites the job market as her biggest area of concern re-

and also serves on the city council. He says his business is struggling and he didn’t have the money at the time. When Treasurer Deanna Panattoni refused to accept the pennies, Spears agreed to pay in a more conventional manner.

GREENSBORO – Continued budget cuts mean Guilford County’s District Court will not hold civil sessions for one week in September and November, the chief District Dourt judge said this week. Judge Joseph E. Turner sent a letter to attorneys Wednesday advising them that civil sessions will be closed for the third week in those two months. The main District Courts that handle civil cases are 2E and 3A in Greensboro and 3A in High Point. Turner was out of the office Friday and could

not be reached for comment. Sharon Gladwell, a spokeswoman for the Administrative Office of the Courts, said the state office was not aware of any other districts canceling civil sessions. Turner blamed budget cuts in his letter. “This year’s budget allotted only 2.45% of the State’s revenues to the Judicial Branch,” he wrote. “Consequently, we have been told that we have 42 days during this fiscal year when a sitting judge can be replaced by an Emergency Judge – that’s three days per judge for illness, emergencies, vacation and continuing education.”

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Homemade bombs killed three U.S. troops in southern and eastern Afghanistan on Friday, and a roadside blast tore through a crowded market in the increasingly volatile north, killing three police and two civilians. No other details about the attacks on the U.S. troops were given by NATO and the identities of those killed were not immediately released. A total of 55 foreign troops have been killed in Afghanistan this month, including 35 Americans, according to a count by The Associated Press. July was the deadliest month for U.S. forces in Afghanistan since the 2001 invasion, with 66 killed. U.S. troops make up about 100,000 of the 120,000strong foreign military contingent in Afghanistan, most in the south and east where the Taliban is most deeply entrenched. Meanwhile, a police official said three Afghan policemen and two civilians were killed and 15 civilians wounded on Thursday.

Carter will be missed at High Point Central Not having Kenny Carter at High Point Central High School as head girls basketball coach this fall is going to be a tremendous loss to the school, the community, the players and everyone who loves the game of basketball. My first encounter with Carter was as his seventh-grade teacher, I have followed him through his coaching career, which has been nothing less than exemplary. He is a coach who instills characteristics such as the following in his players: discipline, hard work ethic, appropriate attire, academic achievement and, above all, good character. These are not just qualities that make a great ball player, they are also qualities which make a student into a productive and happy adult in life. Carter went way beyond coaching requirements. He gave of his time to encourage the students in other areas they needed assistance. He was there for them. Carter has been living his dream of coaching.

Good neighbors help provide us with a fulfilling life I have lived in this neighborhood for over 50 years. Dot and I moved to Shamrock Road in 1962. We built here on Aberdeen Road in 1972. The lake – Oak Hollow –was being built. The only water coming into the lake at the time was a little stream – “Hiat’s Branch” I believe was the name. I want to say how proud I am of my neighbors. My back door neighbor – 89 years old – has cut my side yard every week since I had congestive heart failure. He says riding his mower is the only time his back doesn’t hurt!

My side door neighbor cuts my back lot. Has actually cleaned my house. Lots of our neighbors have passed on. It makes one wonder, “Will I be next?” We have lots of widows and some shut-ins. My dear friend, the Rev. Ken Miller, and his lovely bride are shut-ins. He being blind and Jackie has medical problems. In one recent week, we had one death; one had to get a pacemaker; one fell down the basement steps and broke her hip and two ribs. I even had to spend one night in the hospital after falling in my garden looking for a ripe tomato. Which goes to show you that stupidity and 94 degree heat is nothing to ignore. My bride of 65 years left us over two years ago. We had a lovely life. Traveled everywhere we wanted to go! I have been a member of Green Street Baptist Church for over

64 years. We have been greatly blessed by God in accomplishing our goals. The highlight I think is High Point Christian Academy – now first through 12th grades. I hope everyone can have a neighborhood as good as mine and a good church! May God bless each of you. And thank God for blessing this beautiful, giving country! JOE ROWE High Point

Obama should lead national dialogue on race relations

Obama faces many political trials if he decides to truly talk about the race issue. also celebrate his position. The president’s “blackness” is an honest factor; it figures into history. President Obama should take the lead on the race issue. He should stand up. He should bring folks together and open the dialogue about the state of racial relations in the United States. Civil rights and their progress are dynamic; they ebb and flow with the times. Rights gained yesterday are not assured. There is always the possibility that we can slip, slide backwards and lose ground. That’s why President Obama must not see his high office as a sign of triumph. He must not see himself as the end of the Civil Rights

Movement. It is too easy to forget prior struggles. People have short memories and sometimes do not recall all that others have sacrificed to advance the country toward fairness and rectitude. Of course, Obama’s leaderOPINION ship on the race issue comes with dangers. White House Kristine aides and strategists could Kaiser fear that the Obama presi■■■ dency might become overwhelmed with racial items. The race issue could be mire, a pit; it would be too difficult to escape. If a conversation were to begin, who could say when it would stop? Might it override every other issue on the president’s agenda? Could he control such a passionate topic and then move on? Obama could be meanly perceived as “the black president.” Some might say that he only represents his color and not the diverse electorate. His leadership of all Americans could be seen as weaker. Obama faces many political trials if he decides to truly talk about the race issue. But he must for the sake of the country. His pioneer status obligates him to be authentic. It’s not enough for him to sympathetically call the embattled Shirley Sherrod or to have a beer with acclaimed scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. on the White House lawn. Let him convene a widely publicized conference on race relations in America. There will be an enthusiastic audience; it can be as racially varied as the nation itself. History will remember Barack Obama as the first black president. That’s a fact. It can’t be denied. We now need to talk about race as the pervasive issue in early 21st century American society. KRISTINE KAISER lives in Kernersville.

resident Obama is a poor communicator when it comes to the issue of race. He backs away. He pretends that the topic is not present in contemporary society. If asked if his critics are racists, he says “no.” Surely all the ill will coming his way is not a result of race, but some of it is related to the color of his skin. That is inescapable. He cannot be the first black president of the United States without positive and negative reactions. Historically, he is a pioneer, moving through a political wilderness, reaching a destination first. The trail is bound to be rough. Terrain is uncharted. He probably expected a little harsh treatment from bystanders, but he could not surmise the rancor arising from his success. His trek is unpredictable, only guessed at with speculation and imaginations. As the first black president, some people

The state Department of Revenue calls it “Too bad, taxpayer.” OK, that’s not what they really call it, and if officials had a preference they’d never have called it anything, except that The News & Observer’s Dan Kane obtained e-mail correspondence within the department showing a debate about how to deal with longstanding cases in which taxpayers had overpaid their taxes by mistake and thus, obviously, were due a refund. One Revenue official thought it proper to process refunds. But she was told that officially, no refund is “discovered” until a revenue worker actually finds it and “handles it.” Department Secretary Ken Lay does not view this as his favorite subject. Basically, state law changed in 2007 in a way that altered how overpayments were handled, and last year the department decided that even if an overpayment were flagged by a computer, it would not be considered “official” unless an agency employee verified it. So what happens now, or what can happen, is that someone could overpay, but if the “clock” ran out – that is, the three-year statute of limitations expired – the person due a refund for overpayment would be out of luck. If that sounds like bureaucratic gobbledygook, that’s probably because it is ... bureaucratic gobbledygook. Fortunately, Gov. Beverly Perdue has acted quickly in a way only a governor can. She’s now promised that people who are owed money will get their money, no matter what the statute of limitations is. And she was appropriately direct in making it clear to Lay that it is his job to get the problem fixed. State Sen. Dan Clodfelter of Charlotte, a Democrat and Finance Committee co-chair, said the law was not supposed to be intended to give Revenue a way to “capture” taxes that were overpaid. He said he personally would fix the law. ... Perdue has been in state politics long enough to know that the bureaucrats can make mistakes, but the person who pays the price is the one whose name is on the ballot. And ultimately, the governor who appoints the person in charge of Revenue should be held responsible. Perdue did the right thing. Promising to act is one thing. Doing something is better.

Mother Teresa remembered on birth centennial CALCUTTA, India (AP) – Hundreds of nuns, bishops and volunteers attended a Mass on Thursday marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of Mother Teresa, the selfless nun who dedicated her life to serving the sick and poor in India. School children, tourists and volunteers, some carrying bunches of flowers or candles, also crowded Mother Teresa’s grave in the headquarters of the Missionaries of Charity, the order of nuns she founded in 1950 in the eastern Indian city of Calcutta. Special feasts to feed the poor, a festival of films on her life and work, the launch of a new train called the Mother Express, and interfaith prayer meetings were among events planned to mark

the yearlong anniversary. “Her life and work continue to be an inspiration for the young and the old, the rich and the poor, from all walks of life, religions and nations,” said Sister Mary Prema, the nun who now heads the Missionaries of Charity. In a message read out at the Mass, Pope Benedict XIV described Mother Teresa as an “inestimable gift” and said “this year will be for the church and the world an occasion of joyful gratitude to God.” India’s government plans to release a coin in Mother Teresa’s honor. Indian Railways is launching the Mother Express, a blue and white train, like the colors of the saris worn by the Missionaries of Charity, that will travel around the country carrying an

Born Aug. 26, 1910, to Albanian parents in what is now Skopje in Macedonia, Mother Teresa came to India in 1929. She was

Jealousy The eighth of the works of the flesh mentioned by Paul in his epistle to the Galatians is jealousy, which is a translation of the Greek word "zelos." The word "zelos" can be translated as jealousy, envy, or zeal, and can have both a good and a bad sense. In a good sense, we can be zealous for God and all things holy, but in a bad sense, we can envy the success of others or be jealous about our loved ones spending time with others. In Exodus 20:4-5 we are told to avoid making graven images or bowing down to anything other than God "for I the Lord your God am a jealous God." As human beings, the only proper zeal we should have is for God and goodness. Jealousy and zeal which leads to bitterness and divisiveness is obviously the bad type of jealousy, or misplaced zeal. The original meaning of the word "zelos" was "to boil." Indeed, jealousy has a way of "making our blood boil," and making us "boil over." When this zeal is holy and properly directed that is a good thing; when it is focused on our own selfish needs and desires it is not. We should reflect on what we are zealous about and try to focus our zeal on God and God alone.

Fearing those we do not know F

ear can invade our minds and hearts when we are very young â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in earliest childhood. It may come as the result of what we have seen, heard or experienced. A lack of trust and knowledge produces fear. It is easy to be fearful of those whom we do not know. When we are fearful of impending doom, terror, alarm and unexplained phobias, life can be terrifying. We then lose confidence in others and ourselves. I received a beautiful short story from one of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest writers, Maxine Tolbert Trigleth. She and her daughter, Jan, had been invited to a large Cowboy Church in Texas. She mentioned the cowboy hats, style of dress and the degree of informality. They sat on the back row with hundreds of worshippers in front of them. They figured that the back row would make it easier for a quick exit if they became uncomfortable. They enjoyed the entire service. As they were leaving, Jan said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved it.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;That means we shall visit again,â&#x20AC;? wrote Maxine, who also said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This one thing I can validate: I sensed the presence of the Holy Spirit in that place.â&#x20AC;? I have visited many SHARING different churches, high schools and colleges. It THE SPIRIT has been educational and inspirational to learn Bill that not everybody does Ellis everything the same way. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; I have been in churches, synagogues, mosques, temples and shrines. In many, I had no idea how the service was conducted. Henry Link calls fear, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warning signal to get busy.â&#x20AC;? Henry Ward Beecher said of fear, it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;The soulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signal for rallying.â&#x20AC;? We hear a lot of discussion during the present time about where a mosque should or could be constructed and, of course, where it should not be built. In traveling through much of the world, I

have spent many days in places where I did not understand the people or my surroundings. I have traveled many thousands of miles in airplanes that were piloted by men whose language and faith I did not understand. The same would be true for the care of my body. Those talented men who used the scalpel with such determined and careful skill and the nurses who helped nurse me back to health had both a native language and a religious faith that were foreign to me. An Old Testament word from Proverbs says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instructionâ&#x20AC;? (1:7). One of the finest things we could ever do is to become acquainted with others beyond a shallow and superficial way. In the Song of Mary are these words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation (Luke 1:50). If we keep talking and walking with each other, we may learn together in peace.

One of the reasons why I am asked to speak in so many diverse places could be attributed to the fact that I have learned about others and from others. I never feel any reason to compromise or renounce my religious faith. I am convinced of what I believe. Dr. Rodney C. Caudill, a dear friend for many years and until his death, was a great preacher who often reminded audiences, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hold opinions, but convictions hold us.â&#x20AC;? I am convinced that Jesus Christ is who He said He was, and I believe these words of His, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.â&#x20AC;? That is a conviction that holds me tightly and securely. I can follow that truth confidently and without fear. The ancient Greek teacher and philosopher, Aristotle, wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one loves the man whom he fears.â&#x20AC;? Get acquainted, drop your fear and love others. Billy Graham said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jesus wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afraid to associate with anyone.â&#x20AC;? BILL ELLIS, P. O. Box 345, Scott Depot, WV 25560 | (304) 757-6089

Kings James Version, American style ----

Note: Mark Nickens is in the process of writing a paper which he will read at an academic meeting in March. It will help explain why some churches believe the King James Version of the Bible is the only one which can be used. From time-to-time, he will present some of his research as articles here, this being the first.

ne problem with studying the past is that we subconsciously put our own experiences onto people and lifestyles from the past. This makes it harder to understand why people did what they did in the past. A case in point is the English translation of the Bible. So many different translations are available that we assume that it has always been that way. Not so, for each translation had a year of first publication, and many werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that long ago: the Living Bible and the New American Standard Bible came out in 1971, and the New International Version in 1978. This was not the case in colonial America. At that time only one version was available for purchase in the colonies, the King James Version. But even then it was not readily available. The colonies had many publishers, the most famous of whom was Benjamin Franklin, so the problem was not a lack of publishers. No, the problem was

that no one in the colonies were allowed to print Bibles because England STUDYING owned the THE CHURCH colonies, and the King of Mark England Nickens â&#x20AC;&#x153;ownedâ&#x20AC;? â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; the right to publish the only official version of the Bible, the KJV. This meant that all the Bibles in the colonies had to be published in England because it was the only â&#x20AC;&#x153;Authorized Version.â&#x20AC;? That means nothing to us today, but in those days, it meant that no other English version of the Bible was legal in the colonies and the KJV could only be printed in England. Other versions did exist, but they were few and far between and were not in English (one was

in German and another translated into a Native American language). Then something happened which shut off the flow of KJV Bibles and caused the colonists not to care if England got mad if they printed KJV Bibles: the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Because of the war which followed, England stopped sending KJV Bibles to the colonies. In 1777, a group of Presbyterian clergymen wrote a petition requesting that the new government print copies of the Bible and sent it to the Continental Congress. A committee was appointed by the Continental Congress to investigate the matter. They sent out a request for bids for an unauthorized KJV Bible, and at least five publishers responded. The committee eventually suggested that Bibles be found in other countries since the young country was in a time of war and

the materials needed would be difficult to locate. Nevertheless, one printer by name of Robert Aitken in Philadelphia believed he could accomplish the task. He ended up printing 10,000 copies of the KJV but in a very small size, only about six inches by four inches, in the year 1782. He submitted his KJV to Congress for approval; it was reviewed and approved by the Chaplains of the Congress and Congress itself. This makes it the only version approved by the Congress. Unfortunately his copies were not purchased by the Congress. Aitken corresponded with Washington about

Bridging the gap

HIGH POINT – A Hertford County high school principal has been named principal of High Point Central High School. Jerry Simmons recently completed his fourth year as principal of Hertford County High in Ahoskie. He will take over at Central High upon his release from Hertford County, Angelo Kidd, western regional superintendent, said Friday. The Guilford County Board of Education approved the appointment Thursday. Simmons succeeds Revonda Johnson, Central High principal since 2005. Earlier this month, Johnson took an administrative post in Peoria, Ill. Johnson was named 2007 “Best in Class” Secondary Principal of the Year for leading the school to higher academic achievements by meeting both federal and state testing standards. Johnson earned $92,000 a year. When he became principal at Hertford County High, the school had a high staff turnover rate, which has stabilized since he has been principal. Simmons led the high school from a 35.4 percent ABCs performance composite in 2006 to 78.8 percent for 2010. “That is unbelievable,” Kidd said. “He has a proven track record, and we are excited about him coming to High Point.” Central High passed the 2010 Adequate Yearly Progress. The school’s ABC of Public Education score was 69 percent. Simmons previously served as principal of Rich-Square Creecy Elementary in Rich Square and Conway Middle in Conway. He started his career in 1992 in Weldon as a classroom teacher.

GCS awaits grant details BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – There could be millions of dollars coming to the county school district from two federal grant programs, but school officials don’t know exactly how much and when the money will be available. As one of 10 winners, North Carolina will receive about $400 million from the Race to the Top school reform grant program. Nationwide, the federal government will give out $4.35 billion. The $26 billion Education Jobs Fund could provide as much as $300 million to the state to preserve 5,700 teaching and other school jobs. At the state level, the RTT award will fund Gov. Beverly Perdue’s Career and College: Ready, Set, Go! program. Local districts may share as much as half the money, and district officials estimate the county’s RTT share could be as much as $20 million. “But we can’t assume that,” Sharon Ozment, district chief financial officer, told the Guilford County Board of Education on Thursday. “It is good news, but there could be restrictions.” The state sought grant funding for several school reform programs, ranging

from teacher recruiting and retention to upgrading technology. The district could receive about $14 million from the Education Jobs Fund. That should be enough to save 169 unfilled teaching jobs, Tijuana Hayes, president of the Guilford County Association of Educators, told the school board. School officials were curious about spending restrictions in the current or future school years. “What you get may have to be for something that aligns with the state proposal,” said board member Nancy Routh. So far, state officials have said job funds grants will have no restrictions, except perhaps for central office expenses. “We may have to do what they want us to do with this money,” said board member Garth Hebert of High Point. While the two grant programs offer some relief, other federal funding may end next year. The district will receive about $75 million in federal stimulus funds over three school years, saving about 750 full-time equivalent positions. “It is important that we are careful about next year’s budget,” said Board Chairman Alan Duncan. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Thomasville police reach out to troubled kids BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Thomasville police hope to bridge the gap between law enforcement and youth with the creation of a “Blue Lights and Books” program and the new position of a juvenile detective. Chief Jeff Insley said he has decided to increase efforts with the city’s youth after his administrative team met with principals to get a feel of areas with which they needed help. Insley also identified the need to help juveniles through surveys given to his management team after becoming police chief last year. Insley said he hopes the positive interaction will “break down some barriers” with young people, where they will feel more comfortable reporting things to the department. He also hopes for “just some more positive interaction.” “Young folk have it hard,” he said. “We

want to do what we can to make their growing up years the best that they can be.” Through the Blue Lights and Books program, the police department will have

schools a “great partner.” “They were very receptive when we brought (Blue Lights and Books) idea to them and have been great to work with in making this happen,” he said. Kisha Yokeley has been named the new full-time juvenile detective. She said it’s her job to “bridge the gap” to get juveniles the type of help they need. Yokeley also plans to provide school resource officers with any assistance they need. She said there has been a great need for a juvenile detective. Since being named the juvenile detective June 30, she has handled robbery cases that are committed by some teens who still are in school. “There’s a huge gap,” Yokeley said. “Sometimes you think if there was some type of intervention, when these initial things happen, we can get it before it gets to the robbery.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Barton Eugene Johnson HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Barton â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honey Bunâ&#x20AC;? Johnson quietly and peacefully passed away on Wednesday afternoon, August 18, 2010 at his residence surrounded by loved ones and Hospice of the Piedmont. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honey Bunâ&#x20AC;? as many people knew him was born October 29, 1949 in High Point, North Carolina, a son of Clarence and Anne Leach Johnson. He was a graduate of William Penn High School and a member of St. Paul Presbyterian Church. He was a retired textile worker of Thomasville â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dexel from 1994 to 2005. After his retirement, he went fishing regularly with partners until his health began to dwindle due to sickness. The memories of those sessions bring smiles to anyone familiar with those trips. He also shared a special bond with his family. Though his physical presence is no longer with us, we rejoice that he was with us these many years, and is now free from pain. The wisdom he imparted to his children, grandchildren and family members will keep him alive in their hearts. He was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Anne Johnson, and one brother, Kenneth Johnson. Survivors who will cherish precious memories include his wife, Mrs. Ivery Marsha Johnson of the home, two sons, Andre Mayfield of San Diego, CA and Quentin Ray Farmer and wife LaKita of Indiana; one brother, C. Frederick Johnson and wife Lynn of Brandywine, MD; one maternal aunt, Ruth L.

Roosevelt was born December 27, 1919, in Richland County, SC, the eldest son of Willis, Sr. and Annie Hingleton. He was educated in the South Carolina public school system, attended Dale Carnegie courses for customer service and public speaking, and received certification as an automotive repair mechanic. Roosevelt proudly served in the United States Army during World War II under General George Pattonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s command. As a civilian, he was multi-talented and served in many professions: chauffeur, mechanic, painter, truck driver, bell hop, personal valet, retail sales associate, and remained a faithful employee of Cumby Family Funeral Service for more than 30 years. He was a faithful and devoted member of First Emmanuel Baptist Church for more than fifty years. There he served as a deacon until his health began to fail. Roosevelt was the last of the renaissance men. He was an expert fisherman and was a snazzy dresser with a love of designer shoes and clothes. He dined on fine cuisine all over the world and took pride in displaying his impeccable lawn and garden. While relaxing at home, he enjoyed watching reality T.V. with his family and friends. Roosevelt was a family man who never met a stranger. He was a devoted husband, father,

grandfather, brother, and friend. He is preceded in death by wives Adlyn Hingleton and Ruth Hingleton; his eldest child Dandridge Roosevelt Hingleton, Jr.; and siblings James Hingleton, Gladys Smith, and Lomas Hingleton.

Group wants bear park closed RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As a federal inspector watched, a young girl fed a mixture of Lucky Charms and cat food to a 6-month-old bear cub at a private exhibit in western North Carolina when the animal bit her, leaving tooth marks on her wrist. The July 21 bite was the second time that week a bear at Chief Saunooke Bear Park in Cherokee bit a member of the public, according to a subsequent U.S. Department of Agriculture report that ordered the exhibit to add safety features. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There must be some form of public barrier to protect both the animals and the public from direct contact,â&#x20AC;? the report says. That isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the national animal welfare advocacy group thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been criticizing the long-established attraction on Eastern Cherokee land for years. In a letter this week to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, the group calls for the revocation of the bear parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license to exhibit animals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an outrageous situation and unbelievably cruel to the bears who are forced to be there,â&#x20AC;? said Lisa Wathne, a captive exotic animal specialist for PETA. The bear park has multiple animal exhibits, including the area near a gift shop where two cubs behind a chain-link fence can be hand-fed by people. That was where the little girl, estimated to be about 9 years old by the inspector, was bitten. Other exhibits include bears in cement pits that can be fed by people dropping food into the enclosure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The animals live in truly archaic conditions. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a throwback from the 1950s,â&#x20AC;? Wathne said. Chief Saunooke Trading Post, which includes the bear park, was originally founded on Cherokee land in 1939 but has been substantially enhanced and renovated since then, especially after a 1994 fire. Multiple phone calls and e-mail messages to the trading post seeking comment werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t returned Friday. The park has been cited in the past for other problems. USDA inspection reports going back two years show citations related to overweight bears, cracks in the floors of the enclosures where bears live, and rusted doors leading to the bear dens.

Inmates to continue serving life sentences RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The attorney representing two convicted killers seeking release due to good-conduct credits says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s considering whether to now take their cases to the federal courts following North Carolina Supreme Court rulings. Staples Hughes with the state appellate defenderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office said Friday the rulings in favor of the Department of Correction are troubling because more prisoners would have been ready for release had the justices sided with clients Alford Jones and Faye Brown. The court ruled 5-2 the department had a rational basis for denying sentence-reduction credits to those convicted of first-degree murder during the 1970s. Correction Secretary Alvin Keller said the ruling affirms a longtime policy that credits are used for changing prisoner custody levels and parole eligibility.

Industrial biotechnology helps nature, man I

n June the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), presented the second annual George Washington Carver Innovation Award for Innovation in Industrial Biotechnology. According to BIO, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the award honors the original vision of George Washington Carver who, over a century ago, achieved world renown by using agriculture and science to produce everyday products, changing the nature of farm economics and sustainability. Carver was an originator of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;chemurgyâ&#x20AC;? movement and devoted his career to teaching sustainable farming, which for him included developing new uses of agricultural products that could boost farm profits. To help farmers adopt sustainable practices, Carver

and his students developed more than 300 industrial uses for peanuts, sweet potatoes, and other crops that could be grown ECOLOGY in rotation with cotton and corn. Gwyn Carverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inRiddick ventions includâ&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; ed plastics, glue, soaps, paints, dyes for cloth and leather, medicines and cosmetic ingredients made from peanuts, sweet potatoes or other crops and agricultural residues.â&#x20AC;? The first award given in 2008 was to Dr. Patrick Gruber, CEO of Gevo Inc., recognizing his accomplishments in creating and commercializing a new plastic made from annually renewable resources. As

vice president and chief technology officer of Cargill Dow LLC/NatureWorks from 1997 to 2005, Gruber spearheaded the market introduction of NatureWorks PLA and Ingeo fibers. PLA stands for polylactic acid which is a plastic made completely from plant starch for things like water bottles. It is biodegradable and has great promise to free the world from oil dependence to make plastics and other materials. According to Wikipedia, George Washington Carver was an African American born around the end of the Civil War in Missouri. His research into and promotion of crops such as peanuts and sweet potatoes as alternatives to cotton brought him much fame and recognition. He reportedly wanted poor farmers to grow

alternative crops both as a source of their own food and as a source of other products to improve their quality of life. He is believed to have developed about 100 products made from peanuts that were useful for the house and farm, including cosmetics, dyes, paints, plastics, gasoline and nitroglycerin. Time magazine dubbed him as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black Leonardo daVinci.â&#x20AC;? For 2009, BIO presented the award to DuPont Chairman of the Board Charles O. Holliday Jr., recognizing his commitment to industrial biotechnology. DuPont partnered with sugar processor Tate & Lyle to manufacture a non-petroleum plastic, a polyester ingredient made by fermenting sugar. That venture led the company to think about applying its fermentation expertise to making

Teen gets silent treatment from her dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new wife D

ear Abby: I am a 14-year-old girl living with my grandmother. My mom died when I was 7 and my father is now remarried. He and my stepmom have two children together. My problem is my stepmother and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get along. I try to be friendly, but she hardly speaks to me or my grandmother. I understand that some people are quiet by nature and I am one of them, but my grandmother and I agree that her behavior is rude â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially because we have done nothing to provoke it. I sometimes get the feeling my stepmother doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want me to see my father. Every time he comes to visit at my grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s she calls, and then he has to leave. My grandmother and I love their two children and they have come to recognize us. However, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to see them very often. I believe my stepmother may be the reason for this as well. What can we do to improve the situation? My grandmother has spoken to Dad, but things havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gotten

any better. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid to say anything because I know things could be ADVICE worse. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dear your Abby advice? â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Silent Teen In North Carolina Dear Silent Teen: If your grandmother has already spoken to your dad, there is nothing you can do to improve the situation. The ball is in your fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s court. The problem isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you or anything you have or havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done. Your father married a woman who appears to be possessive, insecure and unable to empathize with anyone she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control. You are a reminder that your father had a wife and a life before she came into it, and she views that as a threat. Your father could straighten her out â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it appears she holds the power in their relationship. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time you spoke to him about your feelings

directly. Hearing it from you may have more impact than what your grandmother is able to convey. If that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work, you have my sympathy. Dear Abby: My daughter, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cassie,â&#x20AC;? who is 23, moved out to live with her fiance. My house is now truly empty. I have two sons who have been on their own for a while. Cassie was the last to fly the coop. I am so sad. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bear to even go into her room. It is so quiet. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly have the closest relationship. I tried, but she wanted her independence. It hurt, but isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that what a parent has to do with her kids? Now that Cassieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone, she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t answer calls or messages â&#x20AC;&#x201C; nothing. I saw her at her place of work the other day and she barely acknowledged me. She claims she is â&#x20AC;&#x153;happy nowâ&#x20AC;? and really doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss me. She says hurtful things and makes fun of me because I am so sappy and emotional. How do parents handle these situations? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not able to. I know I should

EW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Like millions of other parents this time of year, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m about to embark on the annual scavenger hunt known as back-toschool shopping. I thought this dreadful ritual would get easier when my youngest son reached middle school, but in fact it merely multiplied from one nerve-racking list, to six â&#x20AC;&#x201C; along with the number of teachers he has. I would be fine if these lists were simple reminders of basic supplies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pencils, pens, paper, notebooks. Sure, they need a few folders and a book bag, and as math gets more complicated, graph paper and a calculator. I can even understand index cards, Post-its and a yellow highlighter. But how many times do you see parents wandering up and down the aisles of Staples or Walmart or OfficeMax searching for items that

either donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist or that have sold out in a frenzy as mothers of every kid in Miss So-and-Soâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class fought for the last graph paper marble composition book, fine-point Flair pen or half-inch threering binder (no one-inchers allowed!) on earth? Diana Shackleford, a Dallas mom and freelance writer, also points out that stores and teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lists routinely â&#x20AC;&#x153;disagree on pen and pencil package counts. The list asks for a 12-count, but pencils and pens come in 10-count package!â&#x20AC;? The worst part of this retail insanity is that, at least with my son, half of this stuff never gets used. I have a drawer full of Post-its in every conceivable color and size, ordered up over the years by any number of teachers. The only hope I have of getting through the sticky little stacks is to leave myself notes on the fridge that say things like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have a nice day!â&#x20AC;? Other school supplies simply vanish once they

are in my home, only to be found years later. My older son recently graduated from high school and cleaned his room for the first time in Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather not say how many years. Somewhere in that horrifying mess â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on the floor, under the bed, in drawers and the closet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he was harboring, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not kidding, hundreds upon hundreds of pens and pencils. I always wondered how we went through so many of them every year, and now I know. Every time he needed a writing implement, he used it once, then apparently threw it into the landfill otherwise known as his room. Either that, or heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like those cat hoarders who have 37 felines in their homes, only heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoarding Bic ballpoints and No. 2 pencils. I will admit that one aspect of back-to-school supply shopping is tougher for parents of younger kids than parents of teens. The little kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; teachers still want arts and craft-type supplies,

go out and do volunteer work. I do go to the gym, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m much younger than the crowd there. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have many close friends. What do emptynester moms do? I know Cassie is insensitive, but talking it out with her wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help. She is who she is. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hurting in Pennsylvania Dear Hurting: OK, you say you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have many close friends and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but you are well enough that you can go to a gym and volunteer. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for YOU to â&#x20AC;&#x153;fly the coop.â&#x20AC;? The way your daughter is treating you is beyond insensitive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cruel. Instead of being afraid to go into her room you should paint it, redecorate it and rent it. Get out, volunteer, take dancing lessons, join whatever social groups there are in a 50-mile radius. The less time you spend at home the less time you will have to grieve.

renewable fuels and chemicals in a biorefinery. Biotechnology sciences are creating a new â&#x20AC;&#x153;bio-based economyâ&#x20AC;? which will be based on using plants and plant made products and chemicals to replace petroleum chemicals. This will benefit mankind since plants are renewable and can help make not only food, but medicine, industrial chemicals, fiber, shelter and even vaccines for our lives.

and some of these can be pretty obscure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For my kindergartner, I was asked to bring in colored feathers, which I finally found at a craft store,â&#x20AC;? said Holly Michael of Dayton, Ohio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another time I was assigned colored, scented stamp pads. My mom is a teacher herself, and between the two of us, we went to four different craft and teacher stores trying to find them, and they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cheap.â&#x20AC;?

Dwelling on what you didn’t get done will not help matters. You need to look forward, not back. You will learn something valuable from someone you encounter through a friend. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Look for alternative ways to entertain someone you love. Your spontaneity will capture attention and impress someone who can offer you favors. You’ll be emotional, so stay busy. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Refrain from reacting to something too quickly – it may not be easily reversed. Not everyone will have your best interests at heart, especially when it pertains to love, children or an older family member. Don’t let anyone push you around. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Listen to what others are telling you and you can make a wise decision. Friends, neighbors and relatives will play an important role in your life. Include the people you love in your plans. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t let someone from your past cost you. Try to collect or pay old debts so you can start with a clean slate. Don’t get angry over an emotional matter that cannot be altered. Walk away from any situation not likely to be good for you. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll have mixed emotions regarding a personal relationship. Try not to be too hard on the person you are dealing with, but don’t act as a doormat either. It’s important that you keep the peace until you decide what’s best for you. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take a good idea you have and work it until it amounts to something. A change will do you good, so don’t hesitate to make a move or relocate for the weekend. An opportunity you come across will help you make a decision. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Count your blessings and work long and hard to complete what needs to be done. You have plenty to gain by putting in extra time. Your own small business will show some potential and that will encourage you to diversify what you have to offer. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t push your luck when dealing with others. Travel will be riddled with delays, detours and frustration. It’s best to stay put. There is money heading your way. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Spend time with an old friend. Looking back and sharing memories will remind you of ideas and goals you can still put into play. With a little streamlining and updating, you could turn something you once enjoyed doing into a lucrative endeavor. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It’s best to listen to the arguments being made to help you get a better view of what’s going on. You can avoid a terrible mistake when it comes to both personal and professional partnerships. Don’t lead someone on. ★★★

“I had a great idea this morning, but I didn’t like it.” – movie maker Samuel L. Goldwyn, known for odd remarks. Some plans of play are better than others. In today’s deal, South was happy to get a diamond lead against his game. He captured East’s king and thought it a great idea to ruff diamonds in dummy. South took the queen, ruffed a diamond, led a trump to his ace and ruffed a diamond. East overruffed and did well not to cash a high club (which could have let South survive with an end play). East instead led a spade, and South eventually lost a spade, a club and another trump. Down one.

South’s play might have worked, but to use dummy’s spades was attractive. After South wins the first trick, he can take the A-K of trumps. When both defenders follow low, South plays a low spade from both hands. If West wins, he can cash his high trump and lead a club, but South can win the next trick and run the spades to discard his low diamonds and

What causes muscle cramps?

ear Dr. Donohue: I’m a running back for my school and have played on the varsity squad since my freshman year. I’m a senior this year. My question has to do with cramps that happen early in the season, when we’re practicing. I get terrible cramps in my calves. I am OK when the actual season starts. What causes cramps? Is there any way to stop them from happening? – R.J.

BLONDIE

Readers should know that I am talking here about exercise-associated muscle cramps, not the cramps that happen to older people at nighttime, usually when in bed. Every athlete has suffered from a sudden, painful cramp of the muscles, most often the leg muscles and almost always the calves or the front and back thigh muscles. The cause isn’t known for sure. Some are convinced that dehydration and loss of sodium and potassium are to blame. Hot, humid weather, which promotes sweating, is often but not always part of the cramp picture. Athletes who sweat heavily do lose lots of water and minerals. You can tell if you’re a sodium loser if you see white deposits on your jersey when it dries. Staying hydrated might put an end to your cramps. An hour before practice, drink a quart of water, or better, a sports drink containing sodium and potassium. During practice, take a break every 15 to 20 minutes for more

drinking. Weigh yourself before and after practice. If you lose more than HEALTH 2 percent of your Dr. Paul weight, Donohue you are se■■■ riously dehydrated. Others believe cramps come because of muscle fatigue that leads to an avalanche of nerve signals that bombard muscles and cause a painful muscle contraction. Stretching before your practice sessions could prevent this from happening. For calf stretching, stand on the bottom step of a stairway with your heels projecting off the stairs. Rise as high as you can on your toes, then descend as low as you can, with heels below the stair. Do this as many times as you can. Let me know the results, will you? Dear Dr. Donohue: Please answer this as soon as you can. I am told that biking causes impotence. I bike long distances every day and have been doing so for many years. I don’t have this problem, and I don’t want to get it. The source of this information was reliable. I will stop biking if this is true. Is it? – W.W. It’s possible. Sitting for long times on a hard bicycle seat compresses nerves and blood vessels needed for an erection. If this process is in its ear-

ly stages, the biker gets a warning with numbness of the genitals. The numbness leaves soon after finishing a biking session. Even if full-blown erectile dysfunction occurs, taking a rest from biking restores potency. However, the biker also needs to change the bike seat. Dear Dr. Donohue: Is long-distance running good or necessary for soccer players? My brother and I play soccer. He loves to run long distances. I don’t. He says I’ll never have the stamina for soccer if I don’t join him. What do you say? – K.N. Long-distance running benefits all athletes and all people. It improves endurance by improving heart pumping action, by lowering blood pressure, by keeping weight in check and by improving breathing. However, a soccer player doesn’t have to concentrate on it to be good at soccer. Soccer is a game of fast running for short periods intermixed with jogging or even walking. Sprint exercises are more important for this game. Running fast for 15 seconds and then slowing down to a jog for 30 seconds is a better way of increasing the kind of running needed for this game. You can increase the period of sprinting but keep the ratio between sprinting and jogging at 1-to-2; for 20 seconds of sprinting, jog for 40 seconds, for example.

Adams, Bison dominate Whirlies BY JASON QUEEN SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – Total domination. There’s no other way to describe High Point Central’s 247 nonconference thrashing of Grimsley at Simeon Stadium on Friday night. Bison quarterback Drew Adams was nearly flawless, his receivers won almost every jump ball he threw, and the defense was suffocating in a complete team performance. High Point Central coach Wayne Jones was glad to get the win, but would have liked to have seen his team keep its foot on the gas in the second half after going

into the locker room with a 24-0 lead. “That’s a phenomenal start,” Jones said. “That’s how we wanted to start, but that’s how we would have loved to have finished. We’ve got to learn to continue to play like that the whole game.” Things went perfectly for the Bison from the get-go, as Darnell White recovered a Grimsley fumble on the opening kickoff. Adams’ 41-yard toss to Derek Grant on third down set up Lashuran Monk’s 3-yard touchdown run to make it 7-0 less than two minutes into the game. A quick three-and-out gave Central the ball back at midfield, and the Bison struck quickly again.

Adams evaded a heavy rush, stepped out of the pocket and lofted a perfect strike to Grant for a 25-yard touchdown. Adams capped the Bison’s next possession – a sixplay, 71-yard masterpiece – with a 13-yard scramble to paydirt. Late in the first half, Grimsley put together its first sustained drive of the night, marching to midfield with three minutes left until the intermission. But Robert McCauley picked off Jake Simpson’s pass over the middle to kill the threat, and Central’s Austin Miller booted a 32-yard field goal to give the home team a 24-0 cushion. Central outgained the Whirlies 206-67 in the first 24 minutes and Grimsley failed to

cross midfield until its final possession of the game. Dominique McNair’s 1-yard TD run with 34 seconds left to play provided the final margin. Adams finished 15-of-25 for 166 yards and a touchdown, and ran for 38 yards and another score. Grant, his favorite target, hauled in four passes for 88 yards and a TD. The Whirlies fell to 0-2. Central (2-0) welcomes Lexington to Simeon Stadium on Thursday.

HIGH POINT – WinstonSalem State produced vanilla statistics on offense last season. Starting a rebuilding effort after posting a 1-10 record, the Rams won’t have a vanilla approach under new coach Connell Maynor as they open the season tonight against Virginia Union in the Furniture City Gridiron Classic at Simeon Stadium. The challenge for Maynor is implementing his system with four new quarterbacks, led by starter Octavius Hawkins, a junior transfer from Massachusetts. “We run it all,” Maynor said. “Three backs or no backs, five receivers or no receivers. no tight ends, two tight ends. one back and two tight ends, two backs and one tight end, three receivers and two backs. We want to spread it across the field and expose the other teams weaknesses” The Rams avergaed just 115 yards rushing and 96 yards passing per game playing on the Division I level last year. The school has dropped back to Division II because of budgetary concerns. Whatever the level, the Rams return just four starters on offense. The only back listed as first or second team who produced notable numbers last year was fullback Cedrick Hickman, who averaged 32.9 yards per game. Hickman is listed as second string behind

Nicholas Cooper, a redshirt junior, is listed as the firststring tailback. Because the offense is still developing, Maynor expects his defense will be the key for the Rams in the early stages of the season. Seven returning starters are led by cornerback Marvin Bohannon and defensive end Juan Corders. Bohannon has 31 starts and Corders 27. “We want to try to be aggressive and bring some pressure,” Maynor said. “We’ve got some tough guys who we think will be able to get a good push.” Maynor is expecting Union to be a running team as the Panthers were last year. “They like to power and counter trap,” Maynor said. ”They want to eat that clock up and pound you with four yards and a cloud of dust. We’ve got to stop their power game. They don’t want to be in second and long or third in long and that is what we have to get them in.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556

Southwest Guilford’s Larry Edwards (10) bulls through the Eastern Guilford defense during Friday night’s game in High Point.

Cowboys pass test BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – The running game was expected to power the offense – hands down – for Southwest Guilford this season. Turns out the Cowboys’ passing attack had a hand in Friday night’s 28-20 victory over Eastern Guilford thanks to a long and unusual first-half touchdown. “One of the best plays we’ve ever run,” said Raymond Bridges of his 68yard connection with Airyn Willis. “I got a little lucky – I just stuck my hand out there and caught it.” The Cowboys trailed 7-0 midway through the first quarter when Willis rolled out of the pocket to his right and fired to Bridges. The throw was on line, but dangerously low considering Bridges had gotten behind a pair of Wildcats in the secondary. Somehow, the ball went through the hands of first one defensive back and then another, glancing ever so slightly off the second player, Bridges said. He maintained his concentration to make the catch and happily took the ball the last 40 yards to the end zone, with Tanner Butler’s PAT tying the game. Granted, that one play became a passing fancy. Southwest wouldn’t complete another pass, but had no problem running over the Wildcats, especially in a wear-them-down second half. Aaron Fletcher scored on a pair of short runs to close the second quarter and open the third – the latter after Butler’s short kickoff wasn’t covered by Eastern and gave the Cowboys the ball at the 39.

Fletcher would finish with 55 yards on 14 carries. Bridges and Larry Edwards each added some impressive runs, and Braxton Daye put away the game in the fourth quarter with his 24-yard score that started with a burst through the line and ended with a burst of speed to the end zone. Southwest’s defense got interceptions from Robert Howze and Lateef DeGroat, as well as a fumble recovery from Herbert Bridges. Eastern (0-2) tallied just 86 yards of offense in the first half after running at will on its first series. The final score didn’t reflect how well Southwest played most of the night after the Wildcats scored on Jamil Lee’s 4-yard run on fourth-and-goal with 4:41 to play and again on Dylan Harris’ 20yard pass to Ben Wright with five seconds left. That final surge, along with a number of penalties and turnovers, irritated coach Scott Schwarzer even as his team improved to 2-0 entering next Friday’s game at Ledford. “We’re a better football team than Eastern Guilford,” Schwarzer said. “They scored 20 on us and we gave them all 20 – who are we kidding? In a lot of ways this is a character-building experience for us because it gives us the opportunity to see how we respond on Monday.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

HIT AND RUN

y good friend and former High Point Enterprise sports colleague Eric Whittington produced one of my favorite story leads of the past 25 years. He was previewing Duke football (I forget the year) and the Blue Devils were coming off a tough season. He began his article this way: The good news is Duke returns 21 starters from last season. The bad news is Duke returns 21 starters from last season. I always liked that lead. So let me borrow it to describe tonight’s preseason game between the Carolina Panthers and Tennessee Titans (8 p.m., WFMY, Ch. 2). The good news is John Fox plans to play the Panthers’ first-team offense into the third quarter.

The bad news is John Fox plans to play the Panthers’ first-team offense into the third quarter. Through two preseason games, the Panthers’ offense has stumbled, bumbled, fumbled, dropped passes and generally been a train wreck. The Panthers managed three field goals in 28 offensive possessions against the Ravens and Jets. That includes the starters, backups and presumably unlucky fans drafted into fourthquarter action. Quarterback Matt Moore, who closed last season 4-1 as a starter, has thrown for 89 yards with a passer rating of 34.9 in two preseason games. Backup Jimmy Clausen has two interceptions and a passer rating of 35.0.

So much for a blistering start in Carolina’s efforts to improve upon last season’s 27thranked passing attack. But it’s not just the quarterbacks. So far, the Panthers’ receiving corps of Brandon LaFell, Kenny Moore, Dwayne Jarrett and Armanti Edwards has starred in a pass-dropping extravaganza. The return of Steve Smith will help, but he can’t do it all. On the plus side, Carolina’s defense has been solid. But it’s hard to win many 2-0 games in the NFL. The Panthers’ offense needs to start clicking – and fast.

East trips Trinity in two OTs BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

TRINITY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An exhilarating finish to Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard-fought game between East Davidson and Trinity gave the Golden Eagles an opportunity to celebrate a victory at the Dog Pit while Bulldogs fans were left scratching their heads for a second straight week. Seven days after a 7-7 halftime score against Ledford gave way to a 28-7 triumph for the Panthers, Trinity (0-2) once again grinded to a 12-12 stalemate at the break. This time, both defenses assured that nothing would change in the second half by keeping their opponents out of the end zone for another 24 minutes. The marathon affair tarried into two overtimes before Eagle quarterback Taylor Warren scampered 10 yards into the end zone to give the Golden Eagles an 18-12 win on the final possession of the second extra session. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made some adjustments and the coaches did a great job,â&#x20AC;? East coach Bryan Lingerfelt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got some great feedback from our kids as well.â&#x20AC;? East opened the overtime session with a disappointing showing in the red zone. An outstanding tackle by Daulton Rogers on third-and-short from inside the 5

forced Warren to attempt a 19-yard field goal on the first possession. He struck the ball well, but hooked it wide left to give Trinity a shot to end it. The Bulldogs were unable to capitalize, however, as their offense was pushed back to the 21-yard line. After Nathan Willett missed the 38-yard attempt, Rhyne Kivett was picked off on the first play of Trinityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second possession to set up Warrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The defense played great,â&#x20AC;? Lingerfelt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After we got used to Kivett there a little bit, we did a great job. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fine quarterback. He had our linebackers make a few mistakes, but all the credit goes to (the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense).â&#x20AC;? The ground game for East carried the bulk of the load on offense, as the threeheaded rushing attack compiled 206 total yards. Warren finished with 20 carries and 97 yards to lead all rushers. East (1-1) next takes to the road to face North Davidson on Friday. Trinity (0-2) travels to West Stokes.

Bulldogs get new life vs. Granite Bears BY ELIOT DUKE THOMASVILLE TIMES

MOUNT AIRY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A mark of a great team is being able to make the most out of a good break. With not much going right offensively, the Thomasville Bulldogs were on the verge of falling behind Mount Airy by two touchdowns early in the second half Friday night. But on one strange series of events, a pivotal penalty proved to be the break THS needed en route to a 21-14 victory.

Trailing 7-0 in the third quarter, Sam Nelson appeared to have thrown his third pick of the night, with the Bears running it back to the Bulldogsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1-yard line. The referees, however, flagged Mount Airy for a 15-yard late hit that nullified the pick and gave THS a first down.

STRASBURG VOWS TO RETURN AFTER TOMMY JOHN SURGERY

---

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORTS

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stephen Strasburg says it stinks that his season has to end because of an elbow injury. The Washington Nationals said Friday that their rookie phenom has a torn elbow ligament and will likely have Tommy John surgery. Strasburg will travel to the West Coast for a second opinion, but the 22-year-old right-hander has already accepted the fact that he will need the ligament replacement operation that requires 12 to 18 months of rehabilitation. Strasburg said the diagnosis was a shock because he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t felt any pain in his elbow this week. After coming to terms with the news, he said he wants to be the best at everything, so now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll focus on being the best at rehabilitating his arm.

CINCINNATI â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jay Bruce homered in three consecutive at-bats, matching his career high with five RBIs, and the first-place Cincinnati Reds extended their two-week playoff surge by beating the Chicago Cubs 7-1 on Friday night.

MARLINS 7, BRAVES 1 ATLANTA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cameron Maybin and Logan Morrison led off a game with back-to-back homers for the first time in franchise history and the Marlins romped to a 7-1 victory Friday night over the slumping Atlanta Braves.

Herzlichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to BC BOSTON COLLEGE SCHEDULE --4 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Weber St., 1 p.m. stalled by broken foot Sept. Sept. 11 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kent St., 3:30 p.m. BOSTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously,â&#x20AC;? Boston College linebacker Mark Herzlich said, pausing for a little laugh that emphasized just how obvious it was, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve dealt with a lot worse than a foot fracture.â&#x20AC;? The 2008 Atlantic Coast Conference defensive player of the year, Herzlich missed all of last season after being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Ewingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sarcoma. After radiation and chemotherapy, doctors pronounced him cancer-free last fall and cleared him to return to football. But before he could get back on the field, he sustained a stress fracture in his right foot that has delayed the start of his senior season once again. The Eagles returned to practice this week, and Herzlich was again limited to meetings, watching videotape and standing on the sideline offering encouragement and suggestions for his teammates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frustrating,â&#x20AC;? he told reporters at BC media day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just kind of another thing to hurdle.â&#x20AC;? With a full head of curly blond hair, untied sneakers and no sign of a limp from the foot injury, Herzlich said he was eager to get back to practice and perhaps even more eager to be answering questions about football instead of medicine. But there are few questions about his football ability: in 2008 he led the Eagles with 81 tackles, intercepted six passes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the most in the nation for a linebacker â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and was a Butkus Award finalist.

Herzlich expects to be full strength for the Sept. 4 opener against Weber State. But he knows that the coaches will be careful. When he does return, he will join ACC defensive rookie of the year Luke Kuechly and returning starter Mike Morrissey in a linebacking group that has been the backbone of the BC defense. Baseball player turned quarterback Dave Shinskie has been chosen as the starter for Boston College. Coach Frank Spaziani chose the sophomore for the season opener Sept. 4 at home against Weber State. Shinskie began last season as a 25year-old freshman after seven years in professional baseball. Shinskie started 10 games last year. Last year he threw for 2,049 yards and 15 touchdowns, both school freshman records. He completed 149 of 288 passes with 14 interceptions. The Eagles went 8-5 and finished second in the Atlantic Division last season.

That will change for someone on Sept. 4 when the Wolfpack open against Western Carolina. Junior Curtis Underwood, who rushed for 200 total yards in 18 games from 2007-08 but redshirted last season, and sophomore James Washington, who had 21 carries in three games last year before injuring his knee, were the top candidates at the end of spring practice. Still, nothingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decided yet.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the third straight pole position start at Chicagoland for Briscoe, the defending race winner. Dario Franchitti qualified second, followed by

Power leads Franchitti by 59 points in the series standings with four races left in the season. Franchittiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ganassi teammate, Scott Dixon, qualified a disappointing 15th.

Bernanke: Fed may try to reinvigorate economy JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) – Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Friday that the Fed will consider making another large-scale purchase of securities if the slowing economy were to deteriorate significantly and signs of deflation were to flare. Bernanke acknowledged that the recent pace of growth is “less vigorous than we expected.” He described the outlook as uncertain and said the economy “remains vulnerable to unexpected developments.” At the same time, he said growth is likely to pick up next year. He downplayed the odds of another recession, even after a series of dismal reports on housing and manufacturing this week stoked fears that the economy may be on the verge of another downturn.

Paul Allen sues major tech companies SAN FRANCISCO – Microsoft co-founder and billionaire Paul Allen is suing nearly a dozen major technology companies, including Google Inc. and Apple Inc., alleging that they infringed on four Web technology patents held by his company Interval Licensing LLC. Interval said Friday it filed the suit in the U.S. District Court of the Western District of Washington against 11 companies.

Dollar zigzags on Fed chief’s speech NEW YORK – The dollar zigzagged Friday after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke laid out steps the central bank would consider to bolster a weakening economy. The euro slid as low as $1.2677 immediately after Bernanke began talking, but recovered to $1.2731 in late trading, up from $1.2703 late Thursday. The dollar also slumped versus currencies of countries that are big exporters of commodities.

Pump prices continue falling as summer ends Prices at gasoline stations across the country should keep dropping as travelers hit the road for late-summer trips. The national average pump price has declined for 17 days in a row, reaching $2.682 for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline on Friday, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. The price is 6.3 cents lower than a month ago. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

His remarks came 90 minutes after the government said the economic growth slowed sharply in the second quarter to a 1.6 percent pace. Bernanke stopped short of committing to any specific action. But he raised the prospect of another Fed purchase of securities, most likely government debt or mortgage securities, to drive down rates on mortgages and other debt to spur more spending by Americans. “I believe that additional purchases of longerterm securities should the FOMC choose to undertake them, would be effective in further easing financial conditions,“ he said. The FOMC stands for the Federal Open Market Committee, the group of Fed policymakers that makes decisions on inter-

est rates and other steps to aid the economy. The other two options he laid out are: • Providing more information in the Fed’s post-meeting policy statements about how long Fed policymakers would continue to keep rates at record lows. For more than a year, the Fed has been pledging to hold rates at ultra-low levels for an “extended period.” • Cutting to zero the interest the Fed pays for banks to keep money parked at the Fed. That rate is now 0.25 percent. Brian Bethune, economist at IHS Global Insight, said the Fed is right to hold off until it becomes clear that the weakening trend in the U.S. economy is persisting. “I think they’d have to make a move,” he said.

Economic growth slowed to 1.6 percent in spring WASHINGTON (AP) – The economy grew at a much slower pace this spring than previously estimated, mostly due to the largest surge in imports in 26 years and a slowdown in companies’ restocking of goods, The nation’s gross domestic product – the broadest measure of the economy’s output – grew at a 1.6 percent annual rate in the April-to-June period, the Commerce Department said Friday. That’s down from an initial estimate of 2.4 percent last month and much slower than the first quarter’s 3.7 percent pace. Most analysts expect

the economy will grow at a similarly weak pace for the rest of this year. “We seem to be in the early stages of what might be called a ‘growth recession,’” said Ethan Harris, an economist at Bank of America-Merrill Lynch. The economy is likely to keep expanding, but at a snail’s pace and without creating many more jobs. Harris expects the nation’s output will grow at about a 2 percent pace in the second half of this year. Meanwhile, the widening trade deficit subtracted nearly 3.4 percentage points from second quarter growth.

HP ups ante for data company SEATTLE (AP) – Hewlett-Packard Co. boosted its bid for 3Par Inc. to $1.88 billion Friday, topping Dell Inc.’s offer by 11 percent and again raising the stakes in the bidding contest for the datastorage company. The $30-per-share offer from HP came just hours after Dell matched HP’s Thursday bid of $27 per share. The latest price is three times what 3Par was trading at before Dell made its first bid last week for $18 per share. Dell and 3Par said earlier Friday that 3Par’s board had accepted the latest bid from Dell, which only has to match the terms of other offers under its initial agree-

ment with 3Par, which is based in Fremont, Calif. In early trading Friday, 3Par saw shares surge $5.43, or 21 percent, to $31.46. That’s above HP’s latest offer price, signaling that investors expect Dell to respond. In a statement, Dell spokesman David Frink said the company will review HP’s latest offer and “act in the best interests of our customers, shareholders and longterm value creation.” HP and Dell, among the world’s largest personal computer makers, are looking at 3Par as a way to build up their “cloud computing” businesses, delivering software, storage and other services to customers over the Internet.

Stocks rise as investors’ worries ease NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks posted big gains after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the central bank was ready to step in if the U.S. economy showed further signs of weakening. Traders also were encouraged by a downward revision in second-quarter economic growth Friday that wasn’t as bad as economists had expected. The Dow Jones industrial average and other indexes all gained more than 1 percent. The upturn was a respite from a mainly dismal month on the stock market, which has been falling steadily since its recent high reached on Aug. 9 on a series of poor indicators on the economy. A deep slump in home sales last month was the latest sign that the economy was weakening. The market stumbled briefly in midmorning after Intel Corp. lowered its revenue estimate. There, too, the news wasn’t as bad as it could have been. Intel’s shares edged higher after resuming trading. Yields on Treasurys, which help set interest rates on loans like mortgages, rose sharply as their prices fell. That could put upward pressure on mortgage rates, which are still at historic lows.

Mike and Kathy Liner first opened the Pioneer Family Restaurant and Steakhouse along with Walter and Ruby Hill in July of 1987. They opened their doors with the philosophy of providing customers with the highest quality products, largest portions at the most affordable prices that would allow them to stay in business. This motto was working well as customers far and near flocked to the Pioneer for both lunch and dinner. Just as things were going great, the two lane Main Street underwent major construction to create the now five lane highway. During this time, cars could barely access the Pioneer parking lot and business began to slow. This was the period Mike and Kathy attribute to the development of perservance, personality and success that have made he Pioneer a cornerstone of the community. In order to keep their doors open during the massive road construction, Mike and Kathy decided to offer the “Road Construction Special.” A deal that was so good, even the most timid of drivers braved the construction to get through the doors. The Pioneer was sold in July of 1997 and purchased back on August 31, 2009. They would like to celebrate their anniversary by ging back to the 1980’s and 90’s where they got their start by offering some of those same great prices and deals including “The Road Constuction Special!”

Official: FDA to inspect large egg farms WASHINGTON (AP) – The Food and Drug Administration is planning to inspect the country’s largest egg farms before the end of next year following the massive recall that has sickened as many as 1,500 people. An Obama administration official says inspectors will visit about 600 large egg farms that produce 80 percent of the nation’s eggs. The official official spoke on condition of anonymity because the plan has not yet been announced. Most of those farms have gone largely uninspected for decades. The FDA’s plan for heightened inspections came after more than half a billion eggs linked to cases of salmonella poisoning were recalled from two Iowa farms this month. The inspections will be conducted as part of new FDA rules put in place this July to prevent salmonella in shell eggs.

Intelligence chief tells his spies to zip it WASHINGTON – The director of national intelligence is telling his people to zip it, after a string of recent leaks to the media. In a memo, newly appointed director James R. Clapper says he is concerned about leaks of confidential information in the press. Recent disclosures have revealed the potential for using CIA drones in the counterterrorist fight against al-Qaida in Yemen, the close relationship of the CIA station chief in Kabul with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and the CIA’s practice of paying some members of the Afghan government for information.

Fed contractor charged with leaking secrets WASHINGTON – The Obama administration on Friday accused analyst Steven Kim, who worked at the State Department, of leaking top secret information about North Korea to a reporter. He is pleading innocent. It was the latest move in an aggressive campaign to crack down on leaks. Kim was charged with illegally disclosing national defense information.

Michael Enright (right) confers with his attorney Jason Martin, during his arraignment in a New York City courtroom on charges that include attempted murder as a hate crime, Wednesday. Enright is accused of slashing taxi driver Ahmed H. Sharif with a hand tool on Tuesday after the driver said he was Muslim.

Slashing suspect traveled with Marines WASHINGTON (AP) – The college student accused of slashing a New York cab driver showed no signs he might have trouble coping with the experience of traveling with combat troops in Afghanistan, the military said Friday. Michael Enright, a student and freelance journalist who embedded with Marines in southern Afghanistan’s restive Helmand Province in April, is accused of slashing the face and neck of an immigrant cab driver this week in Manhattan after asking if he was Muslim. Enright traveled with Marines for several weeks this spring, Pentagon spokesman Col. Dave Lapan said Friday. In Kabul, military spokesman Col. Hans Bush declined to say

specifically what Enright might have witnessed, but said there was nothing in Enright’s embed

Journals Enright kept in the war zone did not contain any antiMuslim statements or suggest a motive for the attack. application packet that hinted at any problems. “There was nothing in the packet to indicate (a lack of) robustness to face exposure to our operations,” Bush said in a telephone interview.

Authorities in New York said that before the attack, the suspect told the cab driver, “Consider this a checkpoint.” But journals Enright kept in the war zone did not contain any anti-Muslim statements or suggest a motive for the attack, investigators said. There were indications that he had been in Alcoholics Anonymous, they said. The 21-year-old college student from Brewster, N.Y., was moved from jail to a psychiatric ward, corrections officials said Friday. In Afghanistan, he participated in a Pentagon program that accommodates up to 100 journalists, videographers, book authors and others each month who want to report on the war.

They are allowed to “embed,” or travel and live with military forces, on assignments that can range from covering military headquarters in Kabul to traveling with combat forces in the most remote and dangerous areas of the country. “The strength of the program is that it is probably the best way for a journalist ... to capture the tone, timbre and essence of troops in a demanding mission and to have that no-kidding sight, smell and feel of a combat operation,” Bush said. The Defense Department regards embeds as an important way to get out the story of the Afghan war effort, and the same system has been widely used in Iraq.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Engineers will soon start the delicate work of detaching the temporary cap that stopped oil from gushing from BP’s blown-out Gulf of Mexico well and the hulking device that failed to prevent the leak‚ all while trying to avoid more damage to the environment. Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the government’s point man for the spill response, told reporters Friday that engineers will remove the cap starting Monday so they can raise the failed blowout preventer. It is considered a key piece of evidence in determining what caused the April rig explosion.

Taylor Swift debuts â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; music video KENNEBUNK, Maine (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Country music star Taylor Swift is back in Maine for a half-hour television special on CMT to introduce her new music video that was shot in Maine. The cable network show aired Friday night in Kennebunk. Swift shot the video â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mineâ&#x20AC;? last month in Maine. The first release from her new album is due out Oct. 25. One of the central sites in the video is a church in Kennebunk, where Swift emerged in a wedding gown. During Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show, the 20-yearold Grammy winner talked about the music video locations and the behindthe-scenes footage.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Broadcaster Glenn Beck and tea party activists have a right to rally in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital but not to distort Martin Luther King Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision, the Rev. Al Sharpton said Friday. Sharpton described the demonstration planned for today by Beck and his supporters as an anti-government rally advocating statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rights. And Sharpton said that goes against the message in Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Have a Dreamâ&#x20AC;? speech, in which the civil rights leader appealed to the federal government to ensure equality.

Inspect roof before it rains Keep raindrops from falling on your head this rainy season with a little preventative maintenance. Don’t wait for your head to get wet to determine the condition of your roof. Act now by looking for signs of trouble, and make the necessary repairs. • Use binoculars to look for loose shingles or shakes, or, if you have a tile or slate roof, look for missing or cracked pieces. • On shingle roofs, look for curling, fraying, and tears at the edges. • Don’t forget to check the flashings around chimneys, vents, skylights and other roof penetrations. They should be tight and in good condition. • Leaves, pine needles and other debris should be cleared from the roof, gutters and downspouts for proper drainage.

Transforming a bathroom into a spa can be easy with many furnishings, he says, “You can often replicate such high-end pieces with reproductions and flea-market finds.”

BY MICHELE KEITH FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

here’s nothing like some me-time in a luxurious spa after a long day. And it takes just a little effort to transform your own bathroom into just such a place, an oasis in which to relax and rejuvenate. Some simple fixes and inexpensive accessories can do the trick, designers say.

SCENTS AND SOUNDS

BEGIN WITH A CLEAN SLATE “Rooms feel calmer without clutter. So before doing anything else, clear off surfaces, walls and floors,” says New York City designer Eve Robinson. “And while you’re at it, toss out anything past its prime or that you really don’t want or need.” Robinson favors light color palettes – seafoam green and white, for instance – and uses very few accessories, perhaps “simple black-and-white photographs of ocean waves for a sense of relaxation and comfort.” She adores the classic spa feel of terry cloth, and suggests “crisp, white towels and bath mats to brighten and freshen a bathroom.” Robinson also likes upholstering stools on wheels with terry to provide seating or space to pile extra towels. Often, she embroiders them with such words as “splish” and “splash.” While Dallas designer John Phifer Marrs is equally keen on soft hues, “Sometimes the most relaxing baths are no-color,” he says. For one client, he used varying shades of white and off-white, and added some baroque sconces and a neoclassical, toletopped table for elegance and oomph. As

The right music can make a difference, according to Los Angeles-based designer Molly Luetkemeyer. “Get the smallest iPod dock possible,” she says. “Make a play list of music that helps you unwind, or download some ambient nature sounds – ocean waves, a bubbling brook, forest breezes. Turn it on when you enter the room and almost immediately you’ll feel more serene.” One of Luetkemeyer’s favorite parts about visiting spas is “being enveloped by delicious aromas,” not only essential oils and bubble bath, but “candles that make you go ’ahh.”’ “Try short, chubby ones along the bathtub rim, several candlesticks grouped together or a candelabrum – and be sure to dim the lights before stepping into the tub,” she says. Pay attention to the little things: Luetkemeyer always has a pretty container of matches near her candles. And getting back to good smells, she counsels, “Push the spent end of the wick into the warm wax to extinguish the candle. If you blow it out, the beautiful aroma will be covered by a smoky odor.”

ISLAND BREEZES Alex Jordan, co-president of the Chicago design firm Gregga Jordan Smieszny, likes to create an island mood with accessories that exude a “tropical feel.” Among them are teak flooring (“Buy tiles online, much less expensive,”) and, “if the room is well-

ventilated, a large, hanging, paper light fixture a la Noguchi,” he says. “Glass garden lanterns work well, too.” Two other easy tricks he uses to bring the outside in: Cover the walls in grass cloth. Or either paint a trellis on one or more walls, or mount a real one. On a smaller scale, but as effective, would be to replace the linen-closet door with latticework. “Of course,” Jordan adds with a laugh, “that means you have to keep the contents tidy.” Don’t limit yourself to the bath sections of stores, Jordan advises: “Broaden your vision. Investigate stores’ living-room departments and boutiques carrying foreign products.” Think about glass cylinders filled with seashells and river rocks, wood receptacles for makeup and hair brushes, baskets for rolled towels, cleaning equipment and the kids’ toys. One final suggestion Jordan shares is “parachute cloth for the shower curtain or to surround the tub. It’s reminiscent of a spa’s massage area and looks like it would gently rustle in an ocean breeze.” Several other items that can complete a home spa: • An inflatable, terry-cloth-covered pillow for the tub. (Some contain built-in neck massagers.) • Book holders. (Also handy for a glass of wine or pitcher of water pepped up with lemon slices.) • A big, round, “rainforest” showerhead. • A detachable device that turns the tub into a whirlpool bath. • Heated towel racks.

It’s a whole new ballgame A

ccording to a recent survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors, close to one third of existing home sales were either foreclosures or short sales (meaning sales in which the lender agreed to allow the home to sell for less than the amount outstanding on the mortgage). Indeed, it seems for now that these “distressed properties” have become the new “traditional” sales transaction. This is why it is so important to seek the representation of a specially trained and qualified

Realtor. Sellers particularly need assistance in navigating these complex short sale transactions, and buyers also REAL ESTATE need guidance if they are to take Ken advantage of these Wall delicate opportuni■■■ ties. Obviously, Realtors are counted among the biggest advocates for homeownership, and we strongly believe that any home lost to foreclo-

sure is one home too many. Regrettably, some circumstances arise where homeowners are simply unable to maintain their mortgage payments and risk going into default. In those cases, a trusted Realtor’s specialized knowledge can help to successfully list a short sale and keep the sellers out of the grueling foreclosure process. Aside from staying current on national and local laws that apply to short sales and foreclosures, Realtors are trained in qualifying sellers for assistance, negotiating with lenders,

Nearly 50 percent leave president’s mortgage-aid deal WASHINGTON (AP) – Nearly half of the 1.3 million homeowners who enrolled in the Obama administration’s flagship mortgage-relief program have fallen out. The program is intended to help those at risk of foreclosure by lowering their monthly mortgage payments. Friday’s report from the Treasury Department suggests the $75 billion government effort is failing to slow the tide of foreclosures in the United States, economists say. More than 2.3 million homes have been repossessed by lenders since the recession began in December 2007, according to foreclosure listing service RealtyTrac Inc. Economists expect the

number of foreclosures to grow well into next year. “The government program as currently structured is petering out. It is taking in fewer homeowners, more are dropping out and fewer people are ending up in permanent modifications,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. Besides forcing people from their homes, foreclosures and distressed home sales have pushed down on home values and crippled the broader housing industry. They have made it difficult for homebuilders to compete with the depressed prices and discouraged potential sellers from putting their homes on the market. Approximately 630,000 people who had tried to

That’s about 48 percent of the those who had enrolled since March 2009. And it is up from more

than 40 percent through June. Another 421,804, or roughly 32 percent of those who started the program, have received permanent loan modifications and are making their payments on time. RealtyTrac reported that the number of U.S. homes

lost to foreclosure surged in July to 92,858 properties, up 9 percent from June. The pace of repossessions has been increasing and the nation is now on track to having more than 1 million homes lost to foreclosure by the end of the year.

Home sellers: How to stop shopping, start decluttering A

re you in the habit of going to the shopping mall or one of those big box discount stores more than once a week? Yet is the home you plan to sell already so crammed with accumulations that you must do extensive “dejunking” just to prep the place for market? If so, organizational experts urge you to review your shopping habits, stop the inflow, and start using your free time to sort through the belongings, clothes and furnishings you already own. “For lots of Americans, shopping is another form of addiction, like sugar or smoking,” says Barbara Hemphill, a past president of the National Association of Professional Organizers. Of course, every household must shop for perishable food and other everyday essentials. But many people also use shopping as a form of entertainment or as a mood lifter when they’re feeling down or lonely, according to Hemphill. For wannabe home sellers, especially those who must liquidate for financial reasons, spending time hunting through stores for the perfect addition to their already extensive shoe collection is probably self-defeating behavior. Ironically, many people embark on an anti-clutter campaign with a shopping spree involving the purchase of many storage containers. But “almost inevitably, those containers just get in

your way,” says Hemphill, who’s worked in the organizational field for more than 30 years. Judith Rough, a professional organizer who runs a small firm called Carefree Transitions, SMART MOVES urges people planning to sell their homes to halt Ellen all but the most necesMartin sary shopping. ■■■ “Remember that you’re not in the accumulating stage. You’re clearing out. That’s an entirely different frame of mind,” Rough says. Here are a few pointers for home sellers who need to declutter their place in advance of a sale: • Recruit outside help. To fully declutter an average-sized house typically takes at least four weeks of concentrated effort. And to avoid getting bogged down with the feelings the process arouses, many people need help, Rough says. “Going through stuff you’ve owned for decades is tremendously emotional, especially if you’ve lived in the house a long time and raised your family there,” Rough says. To gain momentum, people often turn to relatives. But Rough says you’re better off with an objective third party, ideally a professional organizer. One source for referrals is the real estate agent who will list your property.

Another is the National Association of Professional Organizers: www.napo. net. • Ask family members what items they wish to claim. Many parents of grown children hang onto things they believe their offspring will wish to claim in the future. But, as Rough says, “your kids will want far less of your stuff than you expect.” She suggests you ask them directly what they want to keep. • Take photos of prized items that are too large or awkward to keep. When working with clients, Hemphill often photographs entire rooms in a house she’s helping declutter, thereby creating compact memories of these spaces. She also takes photos of items too large to bring to the next property, such as a grand piano. “Converting your prized belongings to art is a spectacularly good way to plow through too many accumulations and make your house more saleable,” she says. Besides her photos, she also recommends you retain a small box of special items from the children’s early lives, such as clothing and toys. Still other mementos, including drawings or small pieces of sculpture were framed or placed on display in shadow boxes. Converting some symbolic items from your kids’ early years into art or photographs allows you to integrate them more easily into your new environment, Hemphill says.

• Safeguard keepsakes and valuable documents. Those who embark on a clutter control campaign are often relieved to encounter items so valuable that they cannot and should not let go of them. These include birth certificates, passports, and high school diplomas. Rough suggests you encase such valuables in clear plastic sheet protectors and place them in a three-ring binder. Alternatively, you may wish to buy a storage item designed for vital records. This is known as a “PortaVault” (www.securitaonline.com). • Give away extra items that are useful. As you sift through memorabilia, you’re bound to encounter many items you no longer want or need. Do you really wish to haul all those books, toys and pieces of sports gear to the new house? What about that clarinet your son tried at age seven and quit playing at 16? Whenever possible, Hemphill encourages you to donate serviceable items to a reputable charity you want to help. Through the years, for example, she’s taken many of her own castaways to a shelter for battered women. “There’s a lot of satisfaction in knowing that your excess inventory will be put to good use by people who really need it,” Hemphill says.

California home sales drop 22 percent in July LOS ANGELES (AP) – Home sales in California showed their largest year-over-year drop last month in more than two years, as the market attempted to weather an increasingly unsteady recovery without the help of federal tax credits, a tracking firm reported Thursday. San Diego-based MDA DataQuick said sales declined 21.9 percent to 35,202 homes last

month from 45,079 homes in July 2009 and sank 19.9 percent from 43,964 homes in June. Last month was the slowest July since 2007, when 35,185 homes were sold, the firm said. July’s year-over-year drop also was the steepest since March 2008, when the newly frozen credit market prompted a sales decline of 38.3 percent.

Stuart Gabriel, who directs the Richard S. Ziman Center for Real Estate at the University of California, Los Angeles, said the declines are symptomatic of the weakening economic recovery, which is making potential buyers reluctant to enter the market while they’re unsure of their financial futures. “There is very substantial uncertainty at this moment with respect to the momentum

of the recovery,” he said. “The housing market will improve when the job market improves and the overall economy improves.” DataQuick president John Walsh, however, pinned most of the blame on the expiration of the federal homebuyer tax credits that had fueled previous months’ sales. “We think they were the

main reason the decline was so sharp,” Walsh said. “As the boost from the credits waned, low mortgage rates just weren’t enough to outweigh the weak economic recovery and low consumer confidence.” The median home price in the state declined 0.7 percent to $268,000 last month from $270,000 in June, its second consecutive month-to-month drop.
