SHELTER FIGHTS FOR $$ Family Service board member optimistic funding will be restored BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – Family Service of the Piedmont representatives were shocked when they learned this summer about proposed state funding cuts that could have an impact on a domestic violence program in High Point. But thanks to some help from state lawmakers, they said they’re confident a key grant for Carpenter House, which provides emergency housing for women and children fleeing domestic violence, will be restored. “I’m very optimistic that the funding is coming through,” said Chris Greene, chairwoman of Family Service’s board. “(The shelter)
is a place battered people can go with their children and stay and not have anyone know where they are. I think it’s unbelievably important, in that it gives Greene people a safe haven.” The proposed cut came about when staff for the N.C. Council for Women, which funds domestic violence programs across the state, elected to allocate money for only one shelter per county, even though it has funded programs in Greensboro and High Point since 1984, according to Family Service President and CEO Tom Campbell. He met with the N.C. General Assembly’s joint legislative commit-
tee on domestic violence last week, whose members determined that the Council for Women did not have the authority to propose what it did and was misinterpreting state statutes regarding funding of domestic violence shelters, he said, pointing out that High Point’s population exceeds that of some counties. Family Service, a nonprofit that came about from a merger of programs in Greensboro and High Point a decade ago, received about $93,000 for shelters in both cites through the Council for Women, which distributes money that is allocated from the legislature. Campbell said the funding represents 36 percent of the budget for Carpenter House, which also provides counseling and transitional housing
services. It can accommodate 25 to 30 individuals. “We’ve seen an increase in shelter residents of about 54 percent – a dramatic increase,” he said. “That’s to be expected in a down economy.” Greene said state Rep. Maggie Jeffus and Sen. Katie Dorsett, both Greensboro Democrats, have been helpful in getting the matter straightened out. Overall funding for the grants was not cut by the legislature, and Family Service representatives said they hope lawmakers will consider revising state statutes to make the funding more equitable based on population. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Family, friends mourn Kate’s passing BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – The family of Kate Thornton, the 5-year-old Thomasville girl whose battle against leukemia ended Sunday, laid her to rest Wednesday. Hundreds of mourners filled Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church to remember with laughter and tears the life of a little girl with a big smile, a big heart and, in the face of her illness, a big slice of courage. In a eulogy given by Kate’s mom, Susan, she recalled Kate telling her during her illness that

Kate Thornton, 5, was laid to rest Wednesday after losing battle with cancer. she didn’t think she was ready to go to heaven yet, because she wanted to see the Disney princesses
first – a wish that was granted. “But,” Kate continued, waggling an index finger in the air, “if Jesus calls me, I’m going.” The family’s faith, including Kate’s, has given them comfort, Susan said. “Kate’s happy, and she’s not hurting,” she said. “She’s with Jesus.” Kate, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in August 2008, became a local celebrity during her illness, sharing her story publicly and serving as a poster child for blood drives. On Wednesday, though,
she also was remembered as a typical little girl who loved ballet, arts and crafts, playing dress-up and pulling practical jokes, such as the time she painted a male relative’s fingernails pink as he slept. During the eulogy, Susan Thornton thanked the countless people – relatives, friends and even strangers – who supported the family during Kate’s illness with meals, baby-sitting, prayers and, most recently, donations to help make a down payment on a new home for Kate and the Thornton family. She added a special

thank you to her son, 11year-old Jared, who donated his bone marrow to Kate for a bone marrow transplant last spring. “He gave her a short time that she was cured,” Susan said. “Jared, thank you. You were her hero.” Mourners applauded for Jared. Susan’s eulogy concluded with a reading from the ee cummings poem, “I Carry Your Heart With Me.” Kate’s burial followed the service in a private ceremony at Holly Hill Memorial Park Cemetery in Thomasville. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

NC Supreme Court weighs arguments on adoptions RALEIGH (AP) – A state senator’s personal life reached the North Carolina Supreme Court on Wednesday as justices listened to arguments whether her adoption of her former domestic partner’s biological son was legal. The outcome of the custody case involving Sen. Julia Boseman of Wilmington and ex-partner Melissa Jarrell could decide whether state law allows a certain kind of adoption by some same-sex couples in North Carolina. In the so-called “second parent” adoption, which attorneys say are being granted in a few counties, a District Court judge granted Boseman’s request to adopt Jarrell’s son in 2005. The Durham County judge also waived a requirement that Jarrell relinquish her paren-
tal rights to Jacob, who will turn 8 years old next month. The couple broke up the next year and in the custody fight both women received joint custody. But Jarrell argued the adoption should be voided because “second parent” adoptions don’t exist in North Carolina law. A trial court and the Court of Appeals panel upheld Boseman’s adoption, but Jarrell attorney Leslie Fritscher told the justices an “activist adoption court pushed along by activist attorneys” exceeded the reach of state law by granting the adoption and allowing Jarrell to keep her parental rights. State law lays out four ways adoption can occur, but not this method, according to Fritscher. “Courts may not substitute their
own preferences for those of elected legislative representatives,” Fritscher said. “Here the adoption court created its own adoption procedure, cobbling together various statutes to make a new kind of adoption that’s not provided for in the adoption statutes.” Justice Patricia Timmons-Goodson pointed out that Jarrell consented to Boseman’s adoption and now wants it voided: “Should we be concerned about her then coming and complaining about this?” Fritscher said it doesn’t change that the lower court judge skirted adoption rules. Boseman attorney Jim Lea called the adoption a “direct placement” adoption identified in the law in which Jacob was placed with a prospective adoptive parent.
DURHAM – A former Durham County sheriff’s lieutenant accused of stealing nearly $100,000 from the department was indicted Tuesday on embezzlement and other charges. Derek O’Mary, a former narcotics supervisor, surrendered to State

He was charged with 25 counts of embezzlement of county funds, a total of $96,976 between July 2003 April 2009; one count of embezzlement of drug evidence; one count of felony ob-

Lustful Court residents want street name changed MACON, Ga. (AP) – Some residents of Lustful Court in a central Georgia community say they’re tired of being kidded and want the street’s sin-friendly name changed. Bibb County Commissioner Lonzy Edwards brought up a possible name change
Tuesday after receiving complaints. Lustful Court resident Michelle Washington says the name sparks laughter and confusion when she tells people where she lives. Yoshonda Patterson says she thinks the name gives people the wrong idea about the neighborhood on the
east side of Macon. After listening to residents, commissioners decided they’ll consider the change if neighbors start a petition. The street is in a subdivision and no one could recall where the name originated. Macon is about 90 miles south of Atlanta.

able,” he said. “They’ve made mistakes. And now the entire SBI is paying for that.” Last month, an independent review of serology unit cases from 1987 to 2003 called for a thorough examination of 190 criminal cases, stating information that could have helped defendants was sometimes misrepresented or withheld. Cooper had ordered the review in March after an SBI agent testified the crime lab once had a policy of excluding complete blood test results from reports offered to defense lawyers before trials. Agent Duane Deaver’s testimony led to the exoneration of a man imprisoned nearly 17 years for a murder conviction. Cooper announced several other changes in addition to Arnold’s appointment,. Those changes include asking the former assistant directors of the Federal Bureau of Investigation who did the independent investigation of the serology unit to audit the DNA and the firearms and tool mark sections.

RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s attorney general appointed an interim director of the embattled state-run crime lab on Wednesday to review the department for problems like those found in a unit that analyzes blood. Attorney General Roy Cooper said Gerald Arnold, a former chief judge of the state Appeals Court, will serve as interim director of the State Bureau of Investigation crime lab. Arnold’s main job will be to see if mistakes found in the serology section – where some analysts didn’t always fully report blood test results in their lab reports – were repeated in the lab’s six other sections. “The key here is going to be to make sure we solve the problems, restore the public confidence in the SBI and move forward with them solving crimes, protecting the public and exonerating innocent people,” Cooper said. Most agents are honest and hard-working, “but some of their colleagues have not been held account-

Murder charges brought in fatal DWI-related crash GREENSBORO – Prosecutors brought new charges on Tuesday against a woman accused in a DWI-related crash that killed three passengers, charging her with three counts of seconddegree murder. Amanda Christine Sperduti, 21, of WinstonSalem was indicted on those counts and others Tuesday by a Guilford County grand jury in connection with a fatal Feb. 13 crash in Browns Summit. Court records show that Sperduti’s blood alcohol content registered 0.20. Sperduti is accused of killing Scott Bedwell, 23; Sascha Hoffman, 18; and Taylor McCaskill, 18, who were passengers in the car she was driving that night. She is accused of crashing her mother’s 2008 Acura at speeds of 90 mph on Fairgrove Church Road near N.C. 150. A crash report indicates Sperduti lost control of the vehicle
as she rounded a corner and struck a tree, ejecting or partially ejecting everyone in the vehicle, which split in two. The speed limit for that stretch of road is 45 mph. In addition to the counts of murder, the grand jury indicted Sper-
duti on three counts of aggravated felony death by motor vehicle and one misdemeanor count each of possession of a malt beverage by a minor, driving after consuming alcohol as a minor, exceeding a safe speed and drug possession.

Gunmen kill Iraqi TV journalist in Mosul BAGHDAD – Gunmen on Wednesday killed an Iraqi TV journalist, the second to be slain in as many days, highlighting the dangers media workers continue to face seven years after the U.S.-led invasion. While a number of foreign correspondents were killed in the years immediately following the invasion, Iraqi journalists are now the main target, especially photographers and TV journalists who are easier to spot, according to Reporters Without Borders, a Paris-based media watchdog.

The strikes were in North Waziristan, a lawless region home to insurgents battling foreign troops just across the border in Afghanistan, al-Qaida leaders plotting attacks in the West and extremists behind bombings in Pakistan.

Concern about Muslim sensitivities has prompted the White House, religious leaders and others to call on the leader of a Florida church that espouses anti-Islam philosophy, the Rev.

CAIRO (AP) – The Quran is the most sacred object in the daily lives of Muslims and burning it would be considered an offense against God. Islam teaches that the holy book is the direct word of God, received by the Prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel, and it defines the belief and conduct for followers of the religion. The Quran is so important in the faith that Islamic teaching spells out how it should be handled, including directing anyone who touches it to be in a state of ritual purity. Muslims can only burn or bury Qurans that have been damaged or corrupted to prevent

4 missing in Colorado wildfire BOULDER, Colo. (AP) – Four residents of an area burned by a wildfire near Boulder remain missing. Authorities said earlier Wednesday that eight people were unaccounted for. Since then, one more person was reported missing and
a total of five have been located. Some residents have refused to leave the area and stayed behind, risking their lives to try to save their homes. Authorities have been following up with family members and checking homes in the area to find the missing.
The fire is burning on 6,388 acres, just under 10 square miles. Some rain began to fall on the area Wednesday, providing a boost to firefighting efforts. Crews attacked the blaze from the air and on the ground but officials say they still don’t have control of the fire.
BP report blames itself, others for spill NEW ORLEANS (AP) – BP took some of the blame for the Gulf oil disaster in an internal report issued Wednesday, acknowledging among other things that it misinterpreted a key pressure test of the well. But in a possible preview of its legal strategy, it also pointed the finger at its partners on the doomed rig. The highly technical, 193-page report attributes the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history and the rig explosion that set it off to a complex chain of failures both human and mechanical. Some of those problems have been made public over the past 412⠄ months, such as the failure of the blowout preventer to clamp the well

Obama stands firm, won’t yield on tax hike for wealthiest CLEVELAND (AP) – Politically weakened but refusing to bend, President Barack Obama insisted Wednesday that Bush-era tax cuts be cut off for the wealthiest Americans, joining battle with Republicans – and some fellow Democrats – just two months before bruising midterm elections. Singling out House GOP leader John Boehner in his home state, Obama delivered a searing attack on Republicans for advocating “the same philosophy that led to this mess in the first place: cut more taxes for millionaires and cut more rules for corporations.� Obama rolled out a trio of new plans to help spur job growth and invigorate the sluggish national economic recovery. They would expand and permanently
extend a research and development tax credit that lapsed in 2009, allow businesses Obama to write off 100 percent of their investments in equipment and plants through 2011 and pump $50 billion into highway, rail, airport and infrastructure projects. The package was assembled by the president’s economic team after it became clear the recovery is running out of steam. There was a political component, too: With Democrats in danger of losing control of the House in November, Obama is under heavy pressure to show voters he and his party are ready to do more to get the economy moving and get millions back to work.

among itself, rig owner Transocean and cement contractor Halliburton – as it deals with hundreds of lawsuits, billions of dollars in claims and possible criminal charges in the coming months and years. Critics of BP called the report self-serving. “This report is not BP’s mea culpa,� said Rep. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., a member of a congressional panel investigating the spill. “Of their own eight key findings, they only explicitly take responsibility for half of one. BP is happy to slice up blame as long as they get the smallest piece.�
DETROIT (AP) – For a city already struggling with high unemployment, widespread foreclosures and deep budget cuts, here was another crisis: Wind-whipped fires tearing through row after row of homes, some of them abandoned. The flames, probably sparked by downed power lines Tuesday evening, jumped from rooftop to rooftop, fed by winds up to 50 mph. The fires swept though several neighborhoods across Detroit, including some that were well-tended and others
filled with deteriorating vacant houses and weedfilled lots. At least 85 structures were destroyed or scorched by the flames. Fire Commissioner James Mack said it was the worst spate of fires since the 1980s, when firefighters regularly battled hundreds of arsons on the night before Halloween. No injuries were reported, but by Wednesday people in some charred areas began complaining that firefighters took as much as 90 minutes to respond.
Official: 2nd person killed
in flood-swamped Texas ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) – Authorities say flooding from the remnants of Tropical Storm Hermine has killed a second person who was swept away from his pickup truck. Johnson County Sheriff’s Department Capt. Mike Gilbert says a 49year-old man drowned Wednesday afternoon after being swept away from his truck on a road near a flooded creek in an
area between Alvarado and Lillian. He says the man’s body was found about 200 yards from his truck. The National Weather Service says at least one person died in a vehicle submerged by water from a swollen creek in Killeen, north of Austin. And authorities in Austin say they’re searching for a woman whose black Lexus SUV was swept off a road by a swollen creek.

Fox news is needed to balance left-wing media Fox news has not been lying (Charles Honeycutt, Your View, Aug. 30). We should have some news that is fair and open, not run by the Democratic National Committee where they only want to say how good of a job the DNC is doing like MSNBC. Boy, talk about lying. I watched both Glenn Beck and the Rev. Al Sharpton and I heard Beck talking about God and Sharpton and the unions say the people that are on the other side should be ashamed for being there. Do you know who wins? Beck and Sharpton. They keep talking about race because it makes them both a profit. When things are going good in this country, do you see Sharpton? Not unless he can start saying things about race. Beck would be off the air if no one listened to him. So thank the DNC for lying and making people believe things are going great as long as they run everything. BILL HARRIS Trinity

– now being called a mosque. Religious bigotry has reared its head. Critics who insist that the proposed Islamic center’s location is “insensitive” are implying – consciously or not – that those who would pray at the center are somehow aligned with the terrorists who committed the 9/11 atrocities. That kind of discrimination is totally inconsistent with religious liberty. Muslims have lived and prayed in our country – and near the site in question – for many years. They have every right to continue to do so. DAVID PARKER Colfax

A
s controversial and inconsiderate – and even insulting to some – as the plan to build an Islamic center/mosque two blocks from the site of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City is, the plan for a Florida minister to burn Qurans this weekend is doubly so. On Saturday, the ninth anniversary of terrorist attacks on the United States by Muslim extremists, Terry Jones, pastor of a Gainesville church of about 50 members, plans to burn copies of the Islamic holy book in commemoration of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington in which about 3,000 people were killed. On Wednesday, Jones said that he plans to proceed with the Quran burnings despite pleas from many not to do so, including the White House, U.S. Gen. David Petraeus, commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, the Vatican, Gainesville city and religious leaders and, of course, Muslims everywhere. “As of right now,” Jones said, “we are not convinced that backing down is the right thing.” The federal, state or local governments certainly can’t force Jones to halt his planned conflagration. We’d agree that the preacher has the constitutional right under First Amendment free speech guarantees to burn the Qurans in protest, just as that First Amendment also gives someone the right to burn an American flag in protest. But just as with a flag-burning demonstration, we find this Quran-burning plan detestable. Regarding the Islamic center/mosque (which should be built at another location), at least that facility – even if built where planned – may some day have a positive impact once controversy and discord over its location subside. As for the Quran burning, we see no potential whatsoever for anything positive to come from such an act. Jones says he is not convinced that backing down is the right thing. We guess only an act of God would convince the preacher of that.

submission”? Newt Gingrich was referring to the proposed ground zero mosque, but his point may also be applied to the 9/11 Quran burning planned by a Florida minister. He is being urged not to by no less than Gen. David Petraeus, because it will increase tensions with Islamists worldwide and “put our troops in danger” in Afghanistan. We don’t need more provocation by anyone and can question the wisdom of the burning, but on balance, the onus of provocative behavior is squarely on Islamists right now. In Kabul, Afghans are already rioting over the planned burning, which has yet to occur and a permit for which has been denied. They burned the minister in effigy. Many other instances of this knee-jerk violence have occurred even when accusations of showing disrespect for the Quran proved false. Now if the minister backs down, their temper tantrums worked.

Is the Florida preacher’s plan to burn Qurans on 9/11 going to make a valid point or stir up animosity toward the United States? In 30 words or less (no name, address required), e-mail us your thoughts to letterbox@hpe.com. Here are five responses: • Burning the Quran is a response to let God and others see that America is a Christian nation and will not bow to or fear a foreign pagan god. • The burning of Qurans throughout America is a response to the celebration in the Middle East when the twin towers were collapsing with 3,000 Americans dying. We must never forget. • The Quran is just another published book protected under our Constitution’s right of free speech. It’s meaningless if you’re not Muslim. The preacher is wrong and should be more mature. • I don’t think anyone is going to worry about their animosity. We seem to have forgotten 9/11 anyhow. We should be worrying about them needing bigger churches. • Burning a book not only looks fascist, it shows you fear the book. Expose ideas you think are bad, explain exactly why, then, if you want, mock them.

S
aturday is International Burn a Quran Day. Perhaps you hadn’t heard. The day is the brainchild of one Terry Jones, pastor of the tiny Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Fla. You will not be surprised to hear that his plan to build a bonfire of Qurans has stirred passions around the world. The New York Times reports Jones has been condemned by Muslim leaders in Egypt, Indonesia and elsewhere and that some U.S. preachers plan to read the Quran in Sunday services as an act of religious solidarity. Supporters have encouraged Jones to barbecue the Quran with pork, a meat Islam forbids. A young Muslim student at the University of Florida told The Miami Herald of the “uneasiness” she now feels. And if you’re wondering how Jones picked the day for this repugnant act, it’s simple. Saturday is the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. In other words, he proposes to commemorate an act of hate with an act of hate. He will do this, he says, even though he’s been denied a permit. He will do it, he says, in the face of protest from Christians and Muslims alike. He will do it, he says, even though half his church has deserted him. He will do it, he says, even though it cannot help but inflame radical Muslims. He will do it, he says, even though it might place U.S. soldiers overseas at risk. And the surprising thing is that none of this is surprising. To the contrary, you find yourself wondering how something like this did not happen long ago. After all, what Jones plans to do feels sadly predictable, pathetically in line with the kind of sentiments that have been oozing out of our computers, televisions and radios for years now. Indeed, it is difficult to escape a sickening sense that he only reflects the Zeitgeist of a nation that seems to have grown not simply more intolerant, but more “accepting” of its intolerance, more “comfortable” with its intolerance, more willing to rationalize its intolerance, than at any time in almost 50 years. It’s hardly news anymore when a conservative pundit or public figure – and yes, that’s almost always the profile – says
something belittling, bellicose, ignorant or hateful about gay people, Hispanics, blacks or undocumented immigrants. And Muslims? Lord, it’s been open season on them for years, the increasingly OPINION strident denunciations of Islam culminating in this sumLeonard mer of discontent, of angry Pitts protest of proposed mosques, ■■■ not just in lower Manhattan, but also in such far-flung burgs as Murfreesboro, Tenn., Temecula, Calif., and Sheboygan, Wis. Jones’ plan, then, feels somehow ... inevitable. “Of course” he’s going to fuel a bonfire with Islam’s holy book. Haven’t human beings often resorted to fire to purge themselves of that they fear and misunderstand? The Nazis did it in the 1930s, throwing books into flames as a way of killing the dangerous ideas on their pages. Southern whites did it in the 1950s, throwing rock ’n’ roll records into fire as a way of denying the cultural miscegenation the music proved. There is in the act of burning something primitive and tribalistic, something that appeals to the lizard brain that has no ability or desire to reason, no comprehension of ideals and abstract concepts, that knows only that it lives in fear of a world it cannot understand and will do anything to send the fear away. The process of becoming a truly human being is the process of conquering that lizard brain. Unfortunately, some people never do. On Saturday, some of those people will gather round a bonfire to watch pages blacken and curl and turn to smoke. You listen to the hatred spewing from respectable leaders in prominent places, you think of how normal that has become, and one thing suddenly seems starkly clear: We’re burning a whole lot more than books.

Alcoa Power Generating should continue its operations BY E. RAY BARHAM
T
he Yadkin Riverkeeper refuses to let truth get in the way of his agenda. His recent column in The High Point Enterprise (“Alcoa should lose control of Yadkin waters,” August 26) ignores facts that show Alcoa has been a responsible corporate citizen and that Alcoa Power Generating Inc. should continue generating clean, renewable energy along the Yadkin River. Let me address a few of the Riverkeeper’s falsehoods: • Alcoa did not attempt to influence the airing of the UNC-TV stories in any way. Public records provided by UNC-TV show that others, including State Sen. Marc Basnight and Commerce Secretary Keith Crisco, pressured UNC-TV to rush the stories to air to suit their political agenda. Independent journalists have criticized the story and highlighted cash paid from Alcoa opponents to someone working on the story. • The Riverkeeper’s statements regarding Alcoa’s testimony before a North Carolina Senate committee are outrageous and misrepresent the actual testimony. Alcoa Vice President
GUEST COLUMN
---
William O’Rourke informed the committee of Alcoa’s proactive, longstanding efforts to assess health impacts on our work force and provide appropriate protection. The Riverkeeper is either confused about the meaning of Alcoa’s studies or deliberately distorting the facts. • Alcoa has been forthcoming about environmental impacts from the Badin plant, which began operation in 1917. Alcoa started addressing environmental issues before it was required by the EPA and has spent more than $10 million on cleanup activities. We continue to work closely with state and federal officials to address environmental concerns. The state has agreed that no historic waste sites pose a current threat to human health or the environment. • It is simply wrong to claim that Alcoa is the sole source of PCBs in Badin Lake or the cause of alleged environmental or health impacts. While Alcoa has acknowledged that there are isolated pockets of very low concentrations of PCBs in sediments near the Badin plant, the state
determined that the low levels do not pose a threat to human health or the environment. • In a 2009 Charlotte Observer article, State Health Director Jeff Engel said PCBs in Badin Lake fish could be coming from anywhere in the Yadkin River basin. More than 100 municipalities and industries are dischargers to the Yadkin River upstream of Badin Lake. And, contrary to Riverkeeper’s allegations, relicensing participants were informed early in the process about permitted discharges into the Yadkin River, including from Alcoa’s Badin plant. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) performed its own review of the Yadkin Project, including relevant economic and environmental issues. The conclusion: APGI should continue operating the project. That view is shared by state and federal agencies, environmental groups, local governments and people who live along the Yadkin River. The dams APGI built currently provide significant benefits: A dependable water supply. Millions of dollars in tax revenue. Clean, renewable energy. And lakes
that provide recreation, attract tourists and boost property values. Under a new license, the APGI relicensing settlement agreement will offer more benefits, including continued improvements to water quality. APGI has begun work on a $240 million project to upgrade the dams and powerhouses, with a significant portion of that investment dedicated to enhancing water quality. Alcoa and APGI have been forthright throughout the relicensing process, while others continue to make false statements to hide their true motive – the government takeover of a private business. Listen to the experts who have carefully studied these issues and ignore the misstatements and distortions of the Yadkin Riverkeeper.
hen is the last time you wrote a capital cursive Q or Z? Consistently connected writing in the form of cursive seems to have gone the way of the telegraph for many adults. So should kids still learn to write in cursive if they do not have to use it in this modern age of technology? Before the advent of the typewriter in the late 19th century, handwritten communication was the only way for individuals to express themselves. So logically, good handwriting, particularly in cursive, was an important skill. Poor handwriting, like poor speaking, could make you look ignorant or lazy. As recently as a few decades ago, kids with particularly illegible penmanship were sent to required summer handwriting camps. It was that important. If you are 40 or older, you no doubt remember hours spent perfecting (or not) your cursive handwriting in elementary school. You will also remember being required to write papers in cursive. That is one of the great debates among elementary educators today – the relevance of cursive instruction. Some fear classic penmanship has been left behind as preparation for End-ofGrade tests dominates class time. Others blame technology for rendering delicate handwriting an outdated art form. Kids just don’t write letters anymore. Instead, they send e-mails or text messages. A lot of those old ways are going away. How many bills do you pay by writing a check anymore? The emphasis in elementary schools has

shifted from the beauty of handwriting to writing efficiently. There is definitely more emphasis on process and content and less
on form. The argument for the continued teaching of cursive is that learning how to write is a crucial component in learning how to learn. Some would argue that the focus on cursive in and around third grade reflects the developmental connection between writing and thinking. Others argue that children who excel in handwriting skills tend also to excel in other academic pursuits. I’m not convinced that argument holds validity, however. Have you ever met a doctor whose handwriting you could read? (No offense to any reading this who actually can write legibly.) I don’t think neat handwriting necessarily equates to academic giftedness. The bottom line is that neat handwriting, and particularly cursive, do not appear to be nearly as important as in former years, but learning to read and do math are just as important as ever. Perhaps the time spent on teaching cursive could be better utilized teaching reading skills? That is one debate that will continue among educators, parents and students.

Colored-coded combat Pink Heals Tour rolls into High Point on Saturday BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – Come Saturday, High Point will be a city gone pink in honor of women battling cancer. The Pink Heals Tour will make its only stop in North Carolina in High Point that day, bringing with it a fleet of pink fire trucks and a message of hope, according to organizers. The pink fire trucks are part of a national tour that has visited numerous cities with the purpose of supporting women battling all types of cancer. According to www.pinkfiretrucks.org, the tour was created by a group of firemen who wanted to support the women in their communities. Cancer survivors and their families write inspirational messages on the sides of the trucks to be read by those in the next city. “These pink fire trucks aren’t just fire trucks,” said Danny Baughman, a High Point firefighter who contacted officials at the Pink Heals Tour and suggested it come to High Point. “They’re driving in honor of women and telling their stories.” Baughman learned of the tour after his mother-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer and he began researching the disease online. “Being a firefighter, I instantly wanted to come to the rescue and make her feel better,”

Pink Heals Tour Event Schedule for Saturday: • 9:30 a.m., Pink Heals parade from Montlieu Avenue to High Street • 11 a.m., Ringing of the bell ceremony at Showplace in remembrance of firefighters killed during the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks • 12 p.m., Pink Heals Ceremony and fire truck signing and photo opportunities • 2:30 p.m., Presentation of funds collected at the event to High Point Regional Health System • 3 p.m., Harley Davidson riders escort pink fire trucks out of the city to their next destination
he said. “When I saw her laying in the hospital bed, I just didn’t know what to do. I felt helpless.” Baughman’s plan to bring the tour to High Point evolved as his mother-in-law recovered and is now cancer free. He began planning the event 11 months ago, and it has grown to a day full of community activities, including a parade of six fire trucks from Montlieu Avenue to High Avenue; a remem-
Crimestoppers offers Text-A-Tip program BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – For someone passing along a tip about a crime, discretion can be the better part of valor. That’s one reason High Point Crimestoppers representatives are touting the new Text-A-Tip program, which lets anyone give information about crime through anonymous text messages. The feature is expected to make it easier on tipsters who are in the vicinity of a crime and want to stay as inconspicuous as possible when reporting information about illegal activity, said Murray White III, chairman of Crimestoppers’ board of directors. “We’ve seen cases where people have been in sticky situations and could compromise themselves by making a phone call,” White said. “I think being able to text is kind of the next thing to come along. It’s going to help us tremendously.” According to High Point police, text messaging informants’ anonymity is protected by encrypting the text messages and rout-
ing them through several secure servers, which protects the personal details of the informant. The user’s information is always given an alias and a unique identification before being sent. The security measures allow the tipster to have two-way dialogue with Crimestoppers personnel while always keeping the user’s identity anonymous. White said he hopes the program will increase the flow of information about any illegal activity, such as unsolved crimes, vandalism, theft, the sale and distribution of drugs or information about crimes that are being planned in the community or schools. He said the methods for distributing cash rewards for information that leads to arrests or other outcomes will be the same under the new program as they have been for phone tips. Tipsters can continue to phone in their information at 889-4000. Tips can be texted to 274637 using keyword: Cashtips. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Local firefighters will be selling T-shirts at the event, hosting raffles and collecting donations. All proceeds raised will go to High Point Regional Health System’s LoveLine fund for cancer patients needing financial assistance. The program is solely funded by donations. And the money raised couldn’t come at a better time, said Janet Forrest, oncology program planning liaison at the hospital. “We are very happy to be the recipient of this generous gift as we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of patients asking for assistance,” Forrest said. “I think the economy has really impacted everyone, so it’s an opportune time.’ High Point Regional Hospital and the city of High Point also have turned their websites pink in preparation for the event, which Baughman’s hopes is a healing experience for women battling cancer. “My mother-in-law said cancer treatments made her feel better, but it was the love and support of family and friends that cured her,” he said. “That’s what we want to do with the tour – spread hope and love.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617
Forsyth group organizes 9/11 observance BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
FORSYTH COUNTY – A Forsyth County organization is seeking to foster a sense of commitment to community service this weekend in observance of Sept. 11, 2001.

Eyewitness recounts gruesome scene of trooper’s slaying MCCLATCJY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
WAYNESVILLE – A Candler man traveling along Interstate 40 the night N.C. Trooper Shawn Blanton was shot told jurors Wednesday he looked straight into the eyes of Ewardo Wong as he was standing over the slain trooper’s body on the side of the highway. Wong, he said, “after looking up at me, continued to go through (Blanton’s) pockets. Then he stood up and walked to his vehicle like nothing happened and took off.�
The eyewitness told jurors it was a series of gunshots that caught his attention while stopped in traffic about 50-feet from where Blanton had Wong’s vehicle stopped. “I said to myself, ’Oh my God. He shot the police officer,�’ he said. “The only thing that I could think of was to try to get a good look at him. So, I turned my bright lights on for about 5 seconds, got a good look at him, then turned the lights off. As soon as I turned my bright lights off, he looked right at me.� At the time, he
said, Wong was bending over the trooper, “going through his pockets.� The witness was one of four of the state’s witnesses called to testify, including two other travelers who testified they heard the shooting and saw Wong standing at the scene, but never saw him with a gun. Testimony also included that from N.C. Highway Patrol telecommunicator Robin Augrim, who was communicating with Blanton via his patrol car radio minutes prior to his death.

NC lottery raffle drawing delayed to boost sales RALEIGH (AP) – A raffle drawing by the North Carolina lottery has been extended by 12 days so more tickets can be sold. The North Carolina Education Lottery had planned to pick three million-dollar winners Wednesday night. Now the “Cash Splash Millionaire Raffle� is set for Sept. 20.
More than 202,000 tickets had been sold as of Wednesday. No more than 500,000 tickets will be sold. Acting lottery director Alice Garland said slower-than-expected sales this summer contributed to the extension. Garland said the drawing won’t be delayed further.

Stage Singles live alone in safety On School of Dance with aid of deception REGISTER FOR FALL CLASSES!
Dear Ronald: My readers agreed that setting the stage (with an invisible housemate) is an effective way to give the impression to outsiders that you do not live alone. Read on: Dear Abby: Take a suggestion from a senior citizen who has lived alone for many years – and it applies not only to females, but also to males of any age. Singles should purchase articles of the opposite sex and display them prominent-
Dear Abby: I would recommend “Cautious Bachelorette� purchase a male beta fish. They take very little time and energy to care for. Name him Fred, or some other masculine name. That way, when she’s asked if she lives alone, she can honestly say, “No. Fred lives with me.� If people inquire deeper, she can say that they have a close one-on-one relationship, and he is very dependable. She could even add that he is a professional swimmer without fibbing. That way she will be able to have a truthful reply for any who ask. – Fred’s Housemate Dear Abby: I live alone and I keep a men’s magazine on my coffee table, a second set of towels in my bathroom and even went to the thrift store and bought a bathrobe that hangs on a hook behind the bathroom door. Also, my table is always set for two, and I always speak in terms of “we� whenever I have a stranger in my home. – Single But Cautious in Plano, Texas
Dear Abby: Here’s how I give the illusion of not living alone. I have two deck chairs set out and often leave things outside like a shovel, my brother’s flip-flops, or I toss a baseball cap onto the porch swing. – Longtime Reader in El Cerrito, Calif. Dear Abby: My husband and I were married 24 years, but the last several years were extremely difficult. We have separated, but have not filed the paperwork yet. I would like to begin moving forward with my life. It has been six months and there will be no reconciliation. Recently, someone who knows my circumstances asked me out on a date. Would it be inappropriate for me to go, or to date in general? – Dating Dilemma in New Hampshire

ear Abby: “Cautious Bachelorette� (July 16) asked you how she should respond to a workman who asks if she lives alone. Having worked 30 years in a maximum security prison, I can assure your readers that criminals gravitate toward jobs that provide access to people’s homes as a way of scouting victims, so “Bachelorette’s� concern is well-founded. I advise single women to keep a few articles of men’s clothing, such as a jacket, work boots and other items, visible in their homes. They can be purchased inexpensively at a yard sale or local thrift shop. When a stranger is invited into her home, she can simply pick up one of the articles stating, “Here, let me get John’s coat out of your way.� It does provide a very real deterrent to criminals or others looking for a single woman to victimize. – Ronald A., Washington State Department Of Corrections (Retired)

Q
uestion: Oh my goodness, we have these awful bumblebeelike creatures that seem to be buzzing all around the outside of the house. They literally come right up in front of you and buzz around. The kids have been afraid to go outside. What are they and do I need to be concerned?
Answer: In the late spring and early summer, homeowners often notice large, black bees hovering around the outside of their homes. They are probably carpenter bees searching for mates and favorable sites to construct their nests. Male carpenter bees are quite aggressive, often hovering in front of people who are
around the nests. The males are quite harmless, however, since they lack stingers. Female carpenter bees can inflict a painful sting but seldom will unless they are handled. Carpenter bees resemble bumble bees, but the upper surface of their abdomen is bare and shiny black; bumble bees have a hairy abdomen with at least some yellow markings. Take a close look at wooden furniture, deck rails and other wood surfaces. Carpenter bees tunnel into wood to lay their eggs. Bare, unpainted or weathered softwoods are preferred, especially redwood, cedar, cypress and pine. Painted or pressure-treated wood is much less

susceptible to attack. Common nesting sites include eaves, window trim, fascia boards, siding, wooden stakes, decks and outdoor furniture. You might see small sawdust piles before you actually see the holes. Holes will be perfectly round ž-inch holes. Tunnels which have already been excavated are best treated by puffing an insecticidal dust (e.g., 5 percent carbaryl) into the nest opening. Aerosol sprays labeled for wasp or bee control also are effective. Leave the hole open for a few days after treatment to allow the bees to contact

Lung nodules aren’t automatically cancer
D
ear Dr. Donohue: I wrote to you three or four months ago about a nodule in my lung. What would cause it? – B.B.
BLONDIE
“Nodule” is a word that’s a stumbling block for many people. The direct translation of that word from Latin is “little knot.” The knot you use to tie your shoe is a nodule. Lung nodules always arouse a suspicion of lung cancer, but most lung nodules arise for other reasons. It could be an old, healed infection or a harmless cyst; rheumatoid lung nodules can be seen with rheumatoid arthritis. A nodule can be a tangle of blood vessels, or it can be an old fungal infection that has become covered with calcium. The task of the doctor is to make sure that a nodule isn’t cancer. How does the doctor make that call? The patient’s history helps. A nodule in the lung of a nonsmoker is less likely to be cancer than is a nodule in a smoker’s lung. Very small nodules – those less the 4 mm, or about 1⁄4 of a dime, are not usually cancerous. Nodules one and a half to two times that size raise a greater suspicion of cancer and must be watched closely with repeat X-ray or scan. A nodule’s growth aids in determining its cancer potential. A nodule that

hasn’t changed size in two years can be safely assumed not to be cancer. HEALTH If your nodule Dr. Paul is small Donohue and hasn’t ■■■ changed in size, the cancer possibility isn’t great. If the doctor finds it impossible to judge the nature of a lung nodule, then he or she will ask for a biopsy. That’s the ultimate test for assessing what the nodule is. Dear Dr. Donohue: Please write about neuropathy. What causes it? Is there treatment? Can chemo medicines for cancer cause it? – L.V. Nerves are the body’s electrical grid. Information shoots over them from the brain to muscles and bones and tells them to contract so we can move and grab hold of things. These are motor nerves. Information also travels from nerves to the brain to give it information about the world around us and how we react to it. These are sensory nerves, which tell the brain if we are hot or cold or are hurting. Neuropathy – nerve damage – happens to motor nerves or sensory nerves or both. An affected motor
nerve leads to muscle weakness. A common example is a foot drop. If the nerves to muscles that move the foot are damaged, raising the leg to take a step leaves the foot dangling. It causes a person to trip. That’s a foot drop. A sensory nerve in the leg with neuropathy causes numbness or pain. Causes are numerous. Some cancer drugs are responsible. Vincristine, cisplatin and paclitaxel are three cancer drugs that cause neuropathy in a few patients. Other causes of neuropathy are vitamin deficiencies, infections, diabetes, inherited illnesses and many, many more. Treatment rests on finding the cause. Not all neuropathies are treatable, but the pain and weakness of neuropathy can be cared for with braces or other appliances, and with pain medicines.

Here are 10 new TV shows to sample FRAZIER MOORE AP TELEVISION WRITER
N
EW YORK – So many shows! So little time! You already have to keep up with your slate of favorite returning shows. Now the networks expect you to carve out more hours to sample their 22 newcomers. What to do? Prioritize, of course. Here are 10 new series that deserve an early look: • “Hellcats” (CW; premiered Wednesday). It’s almost laughably formulaic, but the formula works like a charm. Gorgeous prelaw student Marti scorns her university’s cheerleading squad. “I don’t trust any culture that builds pyramids – human or otherwise,” she scoffs. But suddenly she needs to join the squad to keep her all-important scholarship. As luck would have it, Marti (Aly Michalka) was a gymnastics champ in high school. But even as she enters the not-altogether-embracing world of the Hellcats, her scholarship still isn’t assured: continued funding for the Hellcats is in question. So is Marti’s continued presence on the squad, thanks to a certain scheming rival. But in the meantime, golly, can those Hellcats dance! “Hellcats” is one part youth melodrama, one part “Glee” in skimpy spandex. • “Nikita” (CW, premieres tonight). It’s payback time for Nikita, who is on the run from the secret government agency that trained her as a spy and an assassin – and now wants her dead. “I’m gonna take you apart, piece by piece, mission by mission,” vows this petite pow-
erhouse (played by Maggie Q). Meanwhile, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) is a new recruit in the sinister, mysterious Division. She wants out, too. An action-packed reboot of the 1990 film and subsequent USA network series, this “Nikita” is a slick celebration of conspiracy and sexy gals who mean to put a stop to it. • “Hawaii Five-O” (CBS; premieres Sept. 20). From the opening titles with the timeless rocking theme to the nickname “Danno,” this new version of the 1970s original is a miracle of souped-up, loving restoration. Alex O’Loughlin plays simmering Steve McGarrett, who’s got a score to settle with some very bad people. The governor of Hawaii gives him carte blanche to set up a justice team, which includes kvetching New Jersey transplant Danny “Danno” Williams (Scott Caan), as well as Chin Ho Kelly (“Lost” alumnus Daniel Dae Kim) and his sexy, two-fisted sister, Kono (Grace Park). The pilot is a fast-paced, eye-popping, modern-day homage. Be there! Aloha! • “Lone Star” (Fox; premieres Sept. 20). A charismatic con man is married to one beautiful woman and shacking up with another, deep in the heart of Texas. Bob truly loves them both. He also loves the opportunity this double life affords him to pull scams in two communities – as long as he can keep his two worlds separate. “Lone Star” would make a dandy soap opera, which it is. But it’s more: a solid drama of a man in conflict who needs it all. The pilot is outstanding as it introduces this fall’s budding breakout star, James Wolk, as the
schemer you root for. Adrianne Palicki (“Friday Night Lights”) and Eloise Mumford (“Mercy”) are Bob’s unsuspecting mates. It’s been called a blend of “Dallas” and “Friday Night Lights.” Judging from the pilot, it’s the fall’s best new series. • “The Event” (NBC; premieres Sept. 20). Do you miss “Lost”? Do you wish last season’s “FlashForward” had been better? Check out “The Event,” the lone new entry in the serial thriller genre. Boasting a large ensemble cast, far-flung locations and helter-skelter time sequence, “The Event” demands a week-to-week commitment for the viewer to have any chance of making sense of the conspiracy that rages at its core. Certainly the pilot episode gives you fair warning; it’s anything but self-contained. The hour introduces a slew of characters (played by regulars including Jason Ritter, Blair Underwood, Laura Innes, Bill Smitrovich and Zeljko Ivanek) and raises a slew of questions. (Like, why do people and things keep vanishing?) Then it’s over. NBC has taken a bold chance on this series. Are you willing to take a leap, too? • “Raising Hope” (Fox; premieres Sept. 21). Greg Garcia, creator of “My Name Is Earl,” is back with a new brood of lovable losers in this wacked-out family comedy. It’s a dysfunctional family, of course, whose aimless 23year-old son, Jimmy (Lucas Neff), stumbles on the fact that he’s the father of a baby girl. Suddenly Jimmy has a purpose in life. He persuades his none-too-capable mom and dad (Martha Plimpton,

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The first song Brooks & Dunn ever sang together has become their last. The country music duo closed out a 20-year career at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena last Thursday night with their 1991 debut single, “Brand New Man,” during the encore. The sold-out show was the final stop on their Last Rodeo Tour and doubled as a fundraiser for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Kix Brooks said early in the night, “This isn’t a funeral. We did show up to party.” They ran through many of their 23 No. 1 hits, including “Neon Moon,” ‘’My Maria,” ‘’Red Dirt Road” and “Boot Scootin’ Boogie.” Reba McEntire made the only guest appearance, singing a few lines during “Cowgirls Don’t Cry.” Both Brooks and Ronnie Dunn joked about the reasons for their split. Brooks blamed it on his crazy concert ideas, like picking old songs and hoping the crowd would help if he forgot the words. Dunn said he was jealous of the cowboy hats Brooks got to wear all these years. Dunn explained that it was the reason he got a tattoo of the word “Cowboy” on his right forearm. Brooks acknowledged those in the audience who played a part in the duo’s success, including songwriters and people behind the scenes. In a nod to the fans, he said, “Most importantly, to the people who paid our rent for the last twenty years, all I can say is, ‘Thanks.’ ”

ERROR Louie wasn’t solely unlucky. He erred by cashing the king of trumps, a vital dummy entry. Louie should instead lead a diamond. East wins and leads a spade, and Louie ruffs and ducks a diamond to East’s queen. When Louie ruffs the next spade, West can overruff and lead a club, but Louie wins in his hand, takes the A-K of trumps and ruffs a diamond. He draws trumps, goes to the ace of clubs and discards a club on the

If Unlucky Louie’s money could talk, it would say good-bye. Louie blames his losses on bad luck despite all the evidence to the contrary. As today’s declarer, Louie cashed the king of trumps at Trick Two. When East threw a spade, Louie grimaced, took the A-Q of trumps and led a diamond, playing low from dummy since the bidding marked East with the ace. East won with the jack and led a spade. Louie ruffed and tried ducking another diamond, but East took the queen, and Louie lost a trump plus a club. “My luck,” Louie sighed.

TV WORTH WATCHING
Entertainment writer picks best shows for fall Garret Dillahunt) that baby Hope is their chance for a parenting do-over. Here’s “a chance for me to do something good – a chance for all of us to do something good,” says Jimmy. And that includes his goofball cousin (Skyler Stone) and borderline-senile grandmother (Cloris Leachman), who sets the unbridled comic tone for this show by occasionally stripping to her brassiere – or even less. • “Running Wilde” (Fox; premieres Sept. 21). “Arrested Development” creator Mitch Hurwitz has paired Will Arnett, one of his stars from that preternaturally zany comedy, with Keri Russell (“Felicity”) as a radiantly comic odd couple. Arnett plays an oil tycoon’s spoiled son named Steve Wilde, the sort of narcissist who welcomes a Humanitarian of the Fiscal Year Award from his own family’s company. Steve wants to reconnect with childhood sweetheart Emmy, played by Russell. But she is now an environmental activist whose tree-hugging
zeal clashes with Wilde Oil and everything else Wilde stands for. “I am going to undo every entitled impulse ever drilled into you,” she tells him grandly. “And then together, we’re gonna change the world.” Don’t bet on either. But the show’s a good bet. • “My Generation” (ABC; premieres Sept. 23). Granted, this isn’t the freshest idea for a drama series. In 1977, “What Really Happened to the Class of ’65” followed up on graduates of a fictitious high school 10 years later. Now “My Generation” is framed as a documentary about graduates of Austin’s Greenbelt High School in 2010, intercut with footage shot of them as graduating seniors in 2000. Needless to say, the characters’ lives have taken unexpected twists, and their paths have crisscrossed one another’s in unexpected ways. The characters and their journeys are what make “My Generation” stand out. Boasting fresh writing and a troupe of fresh faces (including Michael Stahl-David, Kelli Garner, Anne Son and Julian Morris), it
promises to be a fresh new series after all. • “Outsourced” (NBC; premieres Sept. 23). Todd (series star Ben Rappaport) is startled to return from management training to find the Kansas City call center for Mid-America Novelties has been “right-sized.” That’s a euphemism for outsourced to India. So Todd is dispatched to India to see if he can manage. Besides its spot-on timeliness, “Outsourced” is a delightful comedy for how it deftly harvests laughs from the inevitable culture clash, from Todd’s overeagerness to bridge the gap, and from the innate silliness of the company’s product line (whoopee cushions, foam fingers and the like). “Why do Americans need these things?”
one of Todd’s team wants to know. Todd proudly replies, “Maybe no one NEEDS this, but in America, no one can stop you from making it. This is the definition of freedom.” There’s also the chance for comedic flirtation: lovely Tonya runs the adjacent call center for an Australian-based airline. It’s a bleakly funny reminder: Outsourcing is a global affair. • “No Ordinary Family” (ABC; premieres Sept. 28). Michael Chiklis (“The Shield”) plays a police sketch artist who feels meek both at work and at home. Julie Benz
(“Dexter”) is his brainy wife, and two teenage kids complete this notso-happy family. Then, through the oddest of quirks, they all gain superpowers. How can they put those remarkable strengths to good
use – and make them a unifying family affair? The pilot episode takes too long to lay out the show’s premise, but it adds up to a nice blend of sweetness and action. Here’s hoping the series will be, too.

Labonte ready to get new team up to speed
TOP SCORES
T
---
erry Labonte didn’t originally plan on returning to the driver’s seat when he began talking a year ago with former Cup car owner Bill Stavola about forming a new team. “He came to me and wanted my ideas on what would be the best approach SPORTS to get back in,” LaGreer bonte said Smith of Stavola, ■■■ who fielded a team with his brother Mickey from 1984-1988. “I originally was going to be the team manager and help run it. But, it is hard to get a sponsor if you don’t have a driver to hang it on. So, I said I’d drive to help get some sponsorship and get the team established.” They came up with a three-race sponsorship package from outdoors retailer Gander Mountain. The first race is this weekend at Richmond Raceway, where Labonte has three wins. The others are at Charlotte Motor Speedway and Texas Motor Speedway. “I’m looking forward to it,” said Labonte, who has raced on a spot basis since 2007. “We’re starting at Richmond and that’s a track that I enjoy and where I’ve had success. It’s better than racing at a place I don’t like, such as Dover.” The team is getting its cars, which will bear the number 10, from Richard Childress Racing with engines leased from Earnhardt Childress Engines. As part of the deal with RCR, the team will operate out of the RCR shops this year. Labonte must qualify on speed this weekend and is second in line behind this brother Bobby this week for a past champion’s provisional. “Our first goal is just to make the race and then our next goal is to finish the race,” Terry said. “It’s not going to be easy. There are 49 cars entered.” As for next year, Labonte said he and Stavola are trying to piece together enough sponsorship to enter all the races. “If all the sponsorship deals we are working on pan out, we would run all the races,” Labonte said. “But, the chances

UNC’s Little hires lawyer BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU
CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina wide receiver Greg Little has hired attorney Butch Williams the Durham lawyer confirmed Wednesday. “I’ve been working with Greg and the university and the NCAA for a resolution of these particular matters, and hopefully, it will come to a resolution in the very near future,” Williams said. Little, along with defensive tackle Marvin Austin, are at the center of an ongoing NCAA probe into possible improper contact with agents or receiving illegal benefits. The school also is conducting an investigation into academic misconduct. Williams also is a registered sports agent in North Carolina and represents UNC alum Alge Crumpler, who currently plays for the New England Patriots. Stacey Osburn, a spokesperson for the NCAA, said it generally is OK for a reg-
istered sports agent to be a student-athlete’s attorney as long as that person is acting only as an attorney. Little was one of 12 players who were held out of Saturday’s season-opener against LSU because of the two investigations. Austin was suspended by UNC coach Butch Davis earlier in the week because of violating team rules unrelated to the investigations, according to a statement from the school. Williams, who has known Little since before high school, said he has been working with the senior for a few weeks. Williams has worked on a number of high profile cases, including the Michael Vick dogfighting defense team and the Duke lacrosse case. “We hope there’s a resolution soon primarily because he really wants to get back on the field,” Williams said of Little, who is a former Hillside High star. Asked if he thinks Little will play for UNC this sea-
son, Williams said, “We hope.”
TAR HEELS WAITING Davis said during the weekly ACC teleconference there is no update on the 13 players who missed the season-opener against LSU. Everyone but Austin, who was suspended indefinitely, is practicing this week. “There’s no movement whatsoever as we speak today on any of the other players that were not in a position to play last weekend,” Davis said. The Tar Heels have a bye this weekend and don’t play again until Sept. 18, when they host Georgia Tech. The school may not hear about the eligibility of the 13 players until the 11th hour, as linebacker Bruce Carter said he and Quan Sturdivant were not cleared to play in Saturday’s game until 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Carter said it was hard to watch the team bus leave without him.

Y
ou have to hand it to the NFL schedule makers – they really know how to start the regular season with a bang. The Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints play host to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings tonight (8:30, WXII, Ch. 12) in a rematch of one of the most exciting NFC championship games in recent memory. In case you’ve forgotten that Jan. 24, 2010, classic – and I doubt you have – the Saints won 31-28 in overtime on Garrett Hartley’s 40-yard field goal. That set the stage for the Saints’ memorable Super Bowl victory over Peyton Manning and the Colts.

of that are slim considering that the guys that have being doing this a long time are having a hard time doing that. I’d be tickled to death if we could do 12-18 races and we’d like to do the first 10 to get in the top 35 in points and go from there.” And will Labonte drive next year? “We’ll see what happens,” Labonte said. “The guy who we wanted to drive this year, who is someone who has won races, currently has a ride. And that’s the caliber of guy that we want, someone who can run in the top 10 or top 15 and be attractive to a sponsor. But, I could drive if that’s what we need.”
Thanks to last Saturday’s turn of events, Travis Swaim stands in prime position to win his second straight Caraway Speedway championship next Saturday. Swaim finished second to Dan Moore while York was sixth a 150-lap feature, leaving Swaim ahead by 16 points ahead of York entering next week’s race that will be the last counting toward the championship. Moore is two points behind York. Other winners Saturday included Josh Lowder (Limited Late Model), Jake Morris (Legends Cars), Anthony Bennett (Mini-Trucks), Anthony Schill (U-Cars) and Jimmy Cooper (Pure Stock)
BASEBALL NY YANKEES BALTIMORE
Most of the major players return to the stage for tonight’s season opener. Favre, Adrian Peterson, Jared Allen and company take on Drew Brees, Reggie Bush and the world champs. If this game approaches the drama of the NFC championship game, we’ll be in super shape. A couple of things struck me when I looked back at that conference championship showdown: •The game featured a lot more miscues than I remembered. The teams combined for nine fumbles and two interceptions. The most famous, of course, was Favre’s pick in
the final seconds of regulation that prevented a potential game-winning field-goal attempt. But the Vikings finished with six fumbles and two interceptions. The Saints put the ball on the ground three times. •Peterson, who was involved in several of the fumbles, also tied a conference championship record and set a Vikings postseason record with three rushing TDs. These teams could meet again in the playoffs. But we know they’ll clash tonight. And that’s something worth watching.

Georgia star receiver A.J. Green was suspended by the NCAA for four games on Wednesday for selling a jersey for $1,000 to someone who qualifies as an agent. Green sold his jersey from last season’s Independence Bowl. The junior, who sat out the season opener against Louisiana-Lafayette, must miss three more games before regaining his eligibility, according to the ruling from the NCAA. No. 22 Georgia plays at No. 24 South Carolina on Saturday. The ruling comes after much speculation that Green was involved in the NCAA’s probe into improper benefits given by agents to athletes at several schools, including UNC.

Swisher’s blast lifts Yankees THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Nick Swisher hit a tworun homer off Koji Uehara in the bottom of the ninth inning Wednesday to give the New York Yankees a 3-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles that was tempered by news of a potentially serious injury to Jorge Posada. Following the game, Yankees manager Joe Girardi revealed that Posada felt post-concussion symptoms Tuesday after getting hit by a foul ball. The star catcher sat out Wednesday and was sent to a neurologist for tests. His status for New York’s upcoming road trip was uncertain.
METS 3, NATIONALS 2 WASHINGTON — Pinch hitter Nick Evans hit a tiebreaking double in the seventh inning, rewarding R.A. Dickey for an effective start and helping the New York Mets beat the Washington Nationals 3-2 on Wednesday.

Hamels with a rare burst of the run support he had been missing most of the season in a 10-6 win over the Florida Marlins on Wednesday night. Howard hit his 28th homer of the season and the NL East-leading Phillies tied a season high with 17 hits.
BRAVES 9, PIRATES 3 PITTSBURGH — Omar Infante had three hits, Derek Lowe beat Pittsburgh for the 10th straight time and the Atlanta Braves got the breakout victory they badly needed, beating the Pirates 9-3 on Wednesday night. The Braves opened leads of 3-0 in the first and 8-0 in the third after being held to two runs or fewer in five of their previous six games. They had lost three in a row to fall out of the NL East lead for the first time since May 31, dropping a half-game behind Philadelphia. That margin held when the Phillies beat Florida 10-6 on Wednesday night, but the Braves lead the wild-card race by 11⠄2 games over San Francisco, which played at Arizona.

Bush declines comment on Heisman status
METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Reggie Bush declined to go into any detail Wednesday on what he knows about the status of his 2005 Heisman Trophy. “At this point, it’s kind of out of my hands,” Bush said Wednesday after practice with the New Orleans Saints. Bush said he could not “confirm or deny” whether he has met with anyone from the Heisman Trophy Trust and deferred comment to the trust when asked about a Yahoo! report that said he could be stripped of the award by the end of the month. “If I’m not mistaken, I believe the Heisman Trust people released a statement saying whatever was (reported) yesterday was inaccurate,
so that’s where we’re at,” he said. On Tuesday, trust executive director Robert Whalen told The Associated Press that there has been no decision on the status of Bush’s Heisman. The NCAA found major violations in USC’s football program and levied serious sanctions against the school in June, including the loss of scholarships and a two-year bowl ban. The Trojans have dissociated themselves from Bush, who was accused of accepting money and other benefits from sports agents. Losing the Heisman could further tarnish Bush’s legacy, although Bush noted, “On the field, play speaks for itself.”
Shanahan: Haynesworth with Redskins for Cowboys game ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Albert Haynesworth isn’t going anywhere, at least not for now. Addressing the latest trade reports concerning the troublesome defensive tackle, coach Mike Shanahan on Wednesday said Haynesworth will be a member of the Washington Redskins when they open the season Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. “Albert will be with our team on Sunday,” Shanahan said. There was a lot Shanahan didn’t say. He didn’t deny the trade talks. He wouldn’t say whether Haynesworth will play. He didn’t say whether he and Haynesworth have put their differences behind them. And he wouldn’t commit to having Haynesworth on the roster the entire season.
On Tuesday, two people with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press that the Redskins were talking to the Tennessee Titans about trading Haynesworth, who has been a nonstop headache for Shanahan in the coach’s first year in Washington. Haynesworth played seven seasons with the Titans before signing a $100 million contract with the Redskins as a free agent last year. The people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the talks were confidential. Asked about the trade talk, Shanahan said: “We’ve heard all these rumors and speculations. ... Albert had a great practice today, and he’ll be ready to go this weekend, and I think we’ll leave it at that.”
Changes make Panthers youngest CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Carolina Panthers weren’t fooling around when they started their youth movement. It’s produced the NFL’s youngest roster. According to STATS LLC, Carolina’s average age of 25 years, 233 days is the most youthful in the league. It comes after the Pan-
thers shed numerous veterans in the offseason, then kept nine of 10 draft picks and undrafted rookie Andre Neblett. Tampa Bay is the second youngest team at 26 years, followed by Jacksonville at 26 years, 31 days, Miami at 26, 120 days and Houston at 26, 150 days.

Novak Djokovic returns the ball to Gael Monfils during quarterfinal play at the U.S. Open tennis tournament on Wednesday. Djokovic advanced to the semifinals.
Djokovic gets last laugh NEW YORK (AP) — A point that meant little on the scoreboard Wednesday in the U.S. Open offered a clue about the difference between a player struggling to reach the top and another who’s much closer. Though a regular swing would have sufficed, 17th-seeded Gael Monfils jumped up, brought his racket around his body and through his legs and hit a trick shot — straight into the bottom of the net. It was a telling moment in his 7-6 (2), 6-1, 6-2 loss to No. 3 Novak Djokovic — “The Joker” — who can be equally entertaining on the court, though usually more discerning about when to put on a show. Djokovic, the 2008 Australian Open champion who can do impressions of everyone from McEnroe to Nadal to Sharapova, reached his fourth straight semifinal at Flushing Meadows. The Serb has been eliminated the last three times, in-
Source: IRL drops Homestead-Miami MIAMI (AP) — Homestead-Miami Speedway is off the 2011 Indy Racing League schedule, a decision that some of the series’ top drivers are not thrilled about. A person with knowledge of the IRL’s 2011 plan told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Homestead is not among the venues selected to host a race next year. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because Indy-
Car officials do not plan to release the full schedule for the coming season until Friday. Homestead was IRL’s traditional opening site for much of the past decade, hosted the series championship-deciding finale in 2009 and will be where the final race of this year takes place on Oct. 2. The finale is expected to move to Las Vegas for 2011. “We want to partner
with tracks that are willing to promote and market IndyCar as we grow our sport,” IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard said. “While Homestead has been a good track, currently our objectives are not aligned. IndyCar must do what is in the best of interest of IndyCar going forward, and we are confident the partners and promoters we have will work very hard to help advance the series”
Serbia eliminates Spain from basketball worlds ISTANBUL (AP) — Serbia knocked defending champ Spain out of the world championship Wednesday when Milos Teodosic made a long 3pointer with 3.1 seconds left for a 92-89 quarterfinal victory. Spain erased an eightpoint deficit in the final 4 minutes to tie it on Marc Gasol’s basket with 25 seconds remaining. After
a timeout, Serbia patiently ran its offense until Teodosic — 1 of 7 on 3-pointers at that point — pulled up from straightaway, well beyond the arc. “He’s a great player and he has a great feeling for the big shot,” Spain coach Sergio Scariolo said. The Spaniards couldn’t get a final shot off, with Jorge Garbajosa losing the ball after a timeout.
Serbia’s players celebrated at midcourt as Spain’s Sergio Llull kicked the ball deep into the stands. “I think it was a very, very tough game. Maybe the best one until now in Istanbul,” Serbia coach Dusan Ivkovic said. Avenging a loss in last year’s European championship game, Serbia advanced to face Turkey in a semifinal Saturday.
cluding in the 2007 final, by Roger Federer, who was scheduled to play Robin Soderling later Wednesday. Djokovic fought through gusty winds at Arthur Ashe Stadium to roll to his victory and now gets two days of rest before the semifinal on “Super Saturday” at the Open. “These are the worst conditions so far in the tournament,” he said. “I don’t think the crowd really enjoyed the tennis too much. We did have some acrobacy on the court.” Monfils, he of the long limbs, the stylin’ clothes and unending charm, was hoping to make his second Grand Slam semifinal. But he was overmatched. After getting up an early break in the first set, he didn’t do any damage. He finished with 17 winners and 37 unforced errors — one of them more memorable than the rest. The Frenchman offered the following explanation for the trick shot he tried while leading 40-0 early
in the first set. “No, I think it was going too fast, and I was like leaning the other way,” Monfils said. “So the ball came, and I just stopped and tried to do it, because I think, ah, I don’t have enough time to do that or to do that, so I try between the legs.” In a women’s quarterfinal, No. 7 Vera Zvonareva let her opponent self destruct in the wind, taking advantage of 60 unforced errors to defeat No. 31 Kaia Kanepi. Zvonareva, who made the Wimbledon final earlier this year, will play the winner of Wednesday evening’s quarterfinal between No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki and unseeded Dominika Cibulkova. The 31st-seeded Kanepi struggled, hitting only 18 winners to go with her 60 unforced errors. “The weather was definitely not for the good tennis out there,” Zvonareva said. “But no matter what match had to be played, we were both trying our best.”
LEMONT, Ill. (AP) — Living off fast food and pocket change as you chase a dream from one small tour stop to another is easy — romantic, even — when you’re young and have no responsibilities. At 39, with one small child and another on the way, Tom Gillis wasn’t sure he had it in him again. “We went back to Michigan and spoke with a few people about work, and times were tough there. There wasn’t a lot of opportunities,” he said Wednesday. “Snow and three months in the cold weather, I found this isn’t so bad.” Good thing. Three years after nearly quitting, the 42year-old Gillis is enjoying a resurgence that seems more suited for Hollywood than the PGA Tour. The guy who couldn’t keep his card still has a shot at a $10 million payoff along with Tiger, Phil and the rest of the game’s biggest names. Gillis is at this week’s BMW Championship thanks to a fifth-place finish at the Deutsche Bank Championship, his third top 10 of the season. He has earned $1.07 million this year — more than his career earnings on the PGA Tour coming into the season. “I thought I was going to make a comeback,” he said, “but do you really know how far you’re going to get? Are you going to get this far?” Gillis turned pro after college, working his way up on the satellite and European tours before earning his card in 2003. He missed the 2004 season because of a broken wrist, but opened 2005 with a tie for 11th at the Buick Invitational. His play the next few months wasn’t spectacular, but it was steady enough. Then he and his wife found out they were expecting their first child. “It froze me up a little bit,” Gillis said. After tying for 17th at the Zurich Classic the first week of May, he made just five cuts the rest of the year.

Job openings rise in July WASHINGTON (AP) — Job openings rose in July after two months of declines, a positive sign that companies could step up hiring in the coming months. The Labor Department says the number of jobs advertised rose by 6.2 percent to 3.04 million. That’s the highest total since April, when temporary census hiring inflated that month’s figure. Even with the increase, total openings remain far below the 4.4 million that existed in December 2007, when the recession began. The report, the Job Openings and Labor Turnover survey, indicates heavy competi-

The new feature gradually rolled out throughout Wednesday.

The airline flies between New York or Washington, D.C. to three French cities Paris, Lyon and Nantes.

tion for jobs. In July, 4.8 unemployed people, on average, were vying for each opening. That’s an improvement from the peak of 6.3 in November 2009. But it’s far more than the 1.8 unemployed people competing for each opening when the recession began. The JOLTS report illustrates how much job churn the U.S. economy experiences each month: Companies and government agencies, including the Census Bureau, hired 4.2 million people in July. At the same time, 4.4 million people were laid off, quit or retired that month. Total hiring remains weak and is down from a
monthly total of 5 million people in December 2007. Layoffs, meanwhile, have risen moderately for the past two months but are still at pre-recession levels, the report shows. “It is the lack of hiring that largely accounts for the ‘recession feeling’ in the job market,” said Henry Mo, an economist at Credit Suisse. Among industries, education and health services and leisure and hospitality showed the biggest increases in job openings. The education and health sectors posted 533,000 jobs in July, up from 487,000 the previous month. Restaurants and hotels advertised 310,000 openings, up from 263,000.
Fed survey sees slower growth in East, Midwest WASHINGTON (AP) – The economy lost strength in late summer as factory production weakened in areas of the East Coast and Midwest. A survey the Federal Reserve released Wednesday found the slower growth spreading to more regions of the country. Of the 12 regions the Fed tracks, economic activity slowed or was mixed in five – New York, Philadelphia, Richmond, Atlanta and Chicago. Activity elsewhere was described as modest or pointed to positive developments. In the Fed’s previous survey in late July, only two regions – Atlanta and Chicago – had reported slower growth. Reasons for the soft
spots varied. In New York, retailers, especially those in New York City, said sales dropped. Factory production slowed, too. And, both the housing and commercial realestate markets turned even softer. Philadelphia reported slower manufacturing and real-estate activity. But retailers’ revenue rose, which explained that region’s mixed picture. But in Richmond, retail sales sputtered, some factories reported a slowdown in customer demand and real-estate markets remained soft. A similar trend was reported in Atlanta, where retail, manufacturing and real-estate activity all fell.
Canada’s central bank raises key rate TORONTO (AP) — Canada’s central bank raised a interest rate on Wednesday for the third consecutive time. The Bank of Canada increased its benchmark rate by a quarter point to 1 percent. In June, Canada became the first Group of Seven nation to raise interest rates since the global economic crisis. It raised rates again in July. The bank said borrowing conditions remain exceptionally stimulative and said any further rate hikes will need to be carefully considered considering the unusual uncertainty sur-
rounding the outlook. The bank expects the economic recovery in Canada will be slightly more gradual than it projected because of a weaker outlook in the U.S. The Canadian dollar jumped 1.09 to 96.51 US cents after the announcement. Most economists had expected bank governor Mark Carney to lift the rate but some thought recent weakness in the U.S. would mean Carney would take a break from increases. Carney had previously said there is no longer a need for low emergency rates.

Stocks resume rally NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks resumed their rally Wednesday after a successful auction of Portuguese government debt eased worries about Europe’s financial system. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 46 points, and broader indexes also rose. European markets reversed their losses after the results of the auction were announced. Major indexes pulled back from their highs in the afternoon after the Federal Reserve said more regions of the country saw slower growth late in the summer. The Fed’s “beige book” report on regional economic activity showed five of the 12 regions tracked by the Fed showed mixed or slowing activity compared with just two during the most recent report in July. JPMorgan Chase & Co. and other banks led the market higher, reversing a downturn from the day before. Stocks had fallen on Tuesday, breaking a four-day winning streak, following news reports that European banks held larger amounts of risky government debt on their books than had previously been disclosed. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 46.32, or 0.5 percent, to close at 10,387.01. The Dow had been up as much as 86 points earlier in the day before paring those gains after the Fed’s regional economic report came out. The S&P 500 index rose 7.03 or 0.6 percent.

Ireland to split Anglo Irish Bank
Audi car sales rise 22 percent
---
---
DUBLIN (AP) – Ireland plans to split its most troubled financial institution, Anglo Irish Bank, in two as part of wider efforts to reassure international lenders that the Irish are dealing with their debt crisis. Finance Minister Brian Lenihan said Wednesdday that dividing Anglo – nationalized in early 2009 on the edge of insolvency – into “good” and “bad” banks would represent the least costly outcome to Irish taxpayers. The government has already plowed nearly €23 billion ($29 billion) into the specialist lender, and analysts warn that the total bill could top €35 billion – a fifth of Irish GDP. From the start, Lenihan said Ireland would
not let Anglo collapse Lehman-style because of the risk it would panic international investors into abandoning Ireland and toppling the nation’s other four locally run banks too. It introduced a blanket government guarantee to insure all international bondholders against losses, which means any defaults would be covered by taxpayers here. But as Anglo’s losses mounted, the government had to resist pressure to shut down the bank speedily, arguing this would mean a “fire sale” of badly devalued properties and land into a recession-ravaged market. European regulators, after months of behindthe-scenes haggling, appear to have agreed.
Oracle offers Hurd $950,000 salary NEW YORK (AP) – Oracle Corp. plans to pay newly appointed co-President Mark Hurd a base salary of $950,000 annually and said the ousted Hewlett-Packard Co. CEO is eligible for a target bonus of $5 million in the current fiscal year. Oracle released the details of Hurd’s pay package in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday.
Hurd’s pay package includes stock options totaling 10 million shares. The company said Hurd’s options will carry an exercise price equal to the market value of the shares on the date they are granted, which the filing did not specify. If he stays with the company, Hurd will be awarded options to buy another 5 million shares each year for the next five years.
BERLIN – German carmaker Audi says August sales are up by 22 percent on the same month a year earlier, driven by strong growth in China. Audi AG said Wednesday it delivered some 80,300 cars worldwide. That’s up from 65,800 in August a year earlier. The company says that more than one in four cars went to its single biggest market, China. Chinese deliveries rose by 68 percent to 22,400. Sales in the U.S. were up 14 percent to 9,200 cars.

Smithfield posts profit NEW YORK (AP) – Smithfield Foods Inc. said Wednesday higher selling prices for pork and improvement in hog market prices helped it return to a profit in its fiscal firstquarter. CEO C. Larry Pope said the business environment was “very favorable in the pork segment and sharply improved in the hog production segment.” He said his outlook for 2011 remains positive. “All parts of our business are profitable and we are focused on lowering our hog production segment cost model and capitalizing on our restructured pork group,” he said.
The meat producer reported net income of $76.3 million, or 46 cents per share, for the three months ended Aug. 1. That matched analyst expectations, according to a poll by Thomson Reuters. The Smithfield, Va., company lost $107.7 million, or 75 cents per share, in the first quarter a year ago. Revenue rose 7 percent to $2.9 billion from $2.7 billion a year ago. Analysts expected higher revenue of $3.07 billion. Results were helped by higher average unit selling prices in the pork segment and higher live hog market prices, Smithfield said. Fresh pork revenue rose
10 percent to $1.15 billion, while packaged meat revenue rose 5 percent to $2.41 billion, helped by strong sales of the brands Curly’s BBQ, Off the Bone Lunchmeats, Armour LunchMakers and Kretschmar Deli. That segment is facing higher costs for raw materials such as corn, but the industry, including Smithfield, has offset those with higher selling prices. Average selling prices in the pork segment rose 15 percent. The pork industry has been pressured for two years as a glut in supply kept prices low. But supply has been falling over the past two quarters.
