One year ago, city leaders came up with an idea to create a Market Overlay District. The intent was to confine showrooms to a specific area of the city, leaving other areas of downtown open for other types of development. Backers say that it could be an effective tool in revitalizing downtown by generataing interest in redeveloping vacant downtown buildings, bringing more economic diversity to the downtown area. But the onset of the recession and resistance from some property owners forced the city to scrap the plan.

This two-part series looks at the failed market district proposal, and what that means in terms of future downtown revitalization.

The idea went down in flames after months of work by city staff and debate by the City Council,

The defeat means that the downtown dilemma persists: What can be done to diversify downtown without imposing on the economic engine that is synonomous with High Point?

TODAY: Visions of a diversified downtown spark Market Overlay District plan

MIDWAY – A key component to the future growth of Midway got the goahead this month from the young town’s governing body.

Ryan Ross, Midway’s town administrator, said that the Midway Town Council has awarded its first sewer project to Stokesdale-based Yates Construction.

The company’s bid came in at $799,214.40, which the town will pay for with a 10-year loan at 3.39 percent interest.

“The town has been working on it since incorporating,” Ross said.

INDEX of High Point feel ownership of our downtown. It’s a place where everyone ought to be able to go and feel comfortable and experience life, and we just don’t really have that in High Point. I think it almost kind of puts a hole in

your soul – that you’ve got a city but that soul, that heart of your city, is just not there. I think with a lot of High Pointers, it’s going to continue to be an issue going forward.”

“We have been working pretty seriously on it for about two years, just trying to get all of our policies and money and everything straightened out, so we could do it.”

Ross said construction to the sewer lines should begin in late September and be completed in mid-tolate March.

Last year, the Davidson County Board of Commissioners agreed to provide sewer service to the town.

Commissioners approved a preliminary agreement to allow Midway 50,000 gallons of sewer capacity per day over a 10-year period. Midway

Jamestown development plan wins state award ENTERPRISES STAFF REPORT

JAMESTOWN – Land development ordinances Jamestown officials approved last year have been recognized by a professional planning group.

The town’s planning department has received an honorable mention award from the N. C. Chapter of the American Planning Association for the 2010 Marvin Collins Planning Awards. The town was recognized for implementation in the small community category for the land development ordinances the town adopted in July 2009.

The ordinances are unique to Jamestown, having been drafted

HIGH POINT – The City Project, acting at the behest of the council, developed the idea for the Market Overlay District based on a key premise — property values in widespread areas surrounding downtown had become inflated because zoning regulations allowed showrooms in those areas.

With the High Point Market using less square footage, there was little demand for new showroom space, so why not limit the showroom district to a concentrated area, the thinking went. By forbidding new showrooms outside the overlay district, land values would drop and new types of uses would eventually creep in, proponents hoped.

and the county worked on the agreement for a year.

Under the agreement, Midway is responsible for building a sewer line from the south end of the town to the business district on Hickory Tree Road. The line will bring sewer to the town’s primary business district, which is located along the U.S. 52 and Hickory Tree Road corridors.

ROSEVILLE, Calif.

(AP) – A Northern California appeals court has struck down a shopping mall’s policy barring people from approaching strangers to chitchat.

The 3rd District Court of Appeal this week said the rules at Roseville’s Westfield Galleria violate the California Con-

stitution’s free speech guarantee.

The mall prohibited people in its common areas from approaching people they didn’t know to talk unless the conversation was about business involving the mall or its tenants. The case arose after mall officials issued a citizen’s arrest of a 27-year-old

pastor who tried to talk about his faith.

The appeals court says the policy effectively bars shoppers from chatting about the weather or offering directions.

A spokeswoman for Westfield says the mall is considering appealing to the California Supreme Court.

Disabled boy is given therapeutic playhouse WINSTON-SALEM (AP) – Children worldwide would trade their most prized Silly Bandz for JaRavion Clemmons’ new playhouse.

The walls are coated with fresh paint and adorned with the letters of the alphabet made of cotton and shag carpet.

A chalkboard filled with magnetic letters hangs from a wall and a basket overflows with toys, all designed especially for JaRavion, 3.

“I love it,” said JaRavion’s mom, LaWanda Clemmons. “This is beautiful.”

The interior of the 12by-8-foot playhouse came courtesy of 29 first-year students in Winston-Salem State University’s occupational-therapy program.

Their assignment for the summer session was to outfit the playhouse for JaRavion. JaRavion was born with schizencephaly, a rare neurological diseased caused by abnormal clefts in the brain, and spastic cerebral palsy.

He has problems with his vision and physical and mental disabilities.

He uses a wheelchair to get around.

He goes to the Special Children’s School.

Recently, as Clemmons wheels JaRavion out to the playhouse in the family’s backyard, she lets him enjoy for the first time all the toys, games and furniture that the students had provided for him. His mother placed a small tambourine in his hand and helped him shake it.

Of all the playful features in the house, she thought her son would most enjoy rolling around on the brightly colored foam mats that covered the floor.

Most of the students in the occupational therapy class gathered at the Clemmons’ home for the unveiling of the playhouse. The structure was built by Rebuilding Together, a nonprofit organization that modifies homes for people with disabilities who have limited incomes.

Using $10,000 in grant money, a team of volunteers built the 12-by-8 foot playhouse for the Clemmons family, which was selected for the project by N.C. Foster Care Services.

In addition to their three children, the Clemmons family often takes in foster children.

Anne Jenkins, an assistant professor of occupational therapy at WSSU, is on the board of directors for Rebuilding Together.

When she was asked about helping furnish the

toys. The auditory team made shakers and other noisemakers.

Another group made the letters using different textures.

“Occupational therapy is a very hands-on profes-

sion,” said Meghan McCann, one of the students on the auditory team. “I personally learned more in this setting than the classroom setting. This was a chance to do some-

thing for an amazing family.”

Jenkins and Cindy Arrington, the president of Rebuilding Together, hope to collaborate on more playhouses.

LaWanda Clemmons plays with JaRavion in his new playhouse . playhouse, she said she thought of her students.

“This is an excellent opportunity for students to apply what they’ve learned in class to a real-life situation,” Jenkins said. “It was a perfect fit.”

Jenkins and Brenda Kennell, also an assistant professor in occupational therapy, divided the students into teams that focused on JaRavion’s particular needs. For example, the auditory team was charged with finding noise-producing toys that would encourage him to use his fine and gross motor skills and his senses. A furniture team looked for furniture that would help with his posture.

The goal was to find things that would help JaRavion’s overall development.

Occupational therapists help individuals do what is important to them, Kennell said.

“For a child, that’s play,” she said.

Students visited with JaRavion’s parents and studied the space inside the playhouse. They had no money, but instead lobbied for donations or paid for things themselves.

When one student men-

tioned that a bean bag would be a great fit for JaRavion, another said she had a bean bag that she no longer used.

Officials: Alleged US missiles kill 12 in Pakistani tribal region MIR ALI, Pakistan (AP) – Suspected U.S. missiles killed 12 people Saturday in a Pakistani tribal region filled with Islamist insurgents bent on pushing Western troops out of neighboring Afghanistan, intelligence officials said.

Elsewhere in the coun-

try, gunmen targeted non-ethnic Baluchis traveling on a bus and painting a house in two attacks in southwestern Baluchistan province Saturday, killing 16 people and wounding eight.

The airstrike in Issori village of North Waziristan was the first

such attack since intense floods hit Pakistan in late July. The U.S. has tried to improve its public image in Pakistan by sending flood aid, but the missile strike showed Washington was not willing to stop using a tactic that has fed its unpopularity here.

Injured Iraqi women are seen in a hospital after a car bomb attack in the Amil area of Baghdad, Iraq, Saturday. Gunmen killed five Iraqi security personnel, amid persistent debate over whether Iraqi forces can protect the country as U.S. troops withdrawal.

6 Iraqi forces slayed as checkpoints attacked BAGHDAD (AP) – Gunmen killed six Iraqi security personnel Saturday, including a pair of sleeping policemen who were shot and set on fire, amid persistent debate over whether Iraqi forces can protect the country as U.S. troops leave.

The early-morning shootings at Baghdad checkpoints demonstrated the insurgents’ aim to weaken confidence in the government and aggravate sectarian tension as all but 50,000 U.S. troops head home by the end of August.

In the first attack, gunmen armed with silenced pistols killed two policemen asleep in their patrol car at a security checkpoint in the Shiite-dominated New Baghdad neighborhood, said an officer with the federal police

in Baghdad. The assailants then set the car on fire and fled, he said.

A half-hour later, a drive-by shooting on a checkpoint killed two more policemen in the Amil area, another Shiite neighborhood, in southwest Baghdad, two other police officials said. Two passers-by were injured, they said.

Around the same time, gunmen attacked a checkpoint manned by government-backed Sunni fighters from groups known as Awakening Councils in the mostly Shiite Shaab district in the capital’s northeast. One of the fighters was killed and two were injured, the police officials said.

It was not clear if the shootings were coordinated or carried out by the same attackers.

Cholera strikes amid Pakistani flood disaster

AP

Pakistani flood-affected villagers sit in the rubble of their houses, in Aza Kheil near Peshawar, Pakistan on Friday.

International aid for Pakistani flood victims is coming in slowly compared to other recent disasters despite the massive number of people affected and the potential for dire economic consequences in a country key to Western hopes in the fight against Islamist extremists.

SUKKUR, Pakistan (AP) – The deadly, waterborne disease cholera has surfaced in flood-ravaged Pakistan, the U.N. confirmed Saturday, adding to the misery of 20 million people the government says have been made homeless by the disaster. A fresh surge of floodwater swelled the Indus River, threatening previously spared cities and towns in the south.

The crisis has battered Pakistan’s economy and undermined its political stability at a time when the United States needs its steadfast cooperation against Islamist extremism. The U.N. has appealed for an initial $460 million to provide relief to Pakistan but has said the country will need billions to rebuild once the floodwaters recede.

Because of the flooding, Pakistan canceled celebrations Saturday marking its creation and independence from Britain in 1947.

President Asif Ali Zardari met with flood victims in the northwest, and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Kimoon was expected to visit affected regions today.

The floods have killed about 1,500 people, and aid workers have warned that diseases could raise that toll.

One case of cholera was confirmed in Mingora, the main town in the northwest’s Swat Valley, U.N. spokesman Maurizio Giuliano said Saturday.

But other cases were suspected, and aid workers are now responding to all those exhibiting acute watery diarrhea as if it is cholera, Giuliano said.

Obama: Oil stopped, but job far from done

AP

President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama greet members of the U.S. Coast Guard while visiting the U.S. Coast Guard Panama City District Office in Panama City, Fla., Saturday.

With BP spill under control, US looks at drill ban NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Now that the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history has effectively been stopped, the White House is considering an early end to its moratorium on deepwater drilling.

But four months after the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon, regulators have only started to make good on promises to overhaul drilling. Tough measures are stalled in Congress. A $1 billion

emergency response network proposed by the industry won’t be operational for another year.

And while doomsday scenarios from the BP spill, such as oil washing up the East Coast, have not come to pass, there are no guarantees that drilling will be any safer once it does resume.

What’s changed is “not enough to make a big difference,” said Charles Perrow, a Yale professor

CHECK OUT OUR ALTERNATIVE TO DAYCARE!

ALLEN: FINAL PLUG AT LEAST DAYS AWAY The government’s point man on the Gulf spill wants additional testing before he orders BP to finish drilling a relief well.

Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said Saturday it could be late Monday or early Tuesday before officials know the results of those tests.

Obama’s comment on Saturday during a trip to Florida expanded on a statement he made at a White House dinner on Friday. At that event, he said Muslims have the same right to freedom of religion as everyone else in America.

dustry is reeling from the spill.

“I’m here to tell you that our job is not finished, and we are not going anywhere until it is,” the president said in this Panhandle city after meeting with state officials, local leaders and business owners at a Coast Guard station. “I will not be satisfied until the environment has been restored, no matter how long it takes.”

Obama said he brought his family to Florida “to let our fellow Americans know that they should come on down here. It is spectacular.”

President supports ‘the right’ for mosque WASHINGTON (AP) – After skirting the controversy for weeks, President Barack Obama says Muslims have the right to build a mosque near ground zero in New York, but he’s not saying whether he thinks it’s a good idea to do so.

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (AP) – The first family dashed to the Florida Panhandle on Saturday so President Barack Obama could play pitchman – Gulf Coast beaches are clean and open for business – and assure residents his government won’t abandon them now that the busted well has stopped spewing oil.

He also said he “absolutely” would plunge into waters that absorbed 200 million gallons of oil. Expect the dip today, he told reporters accompanying him on the 27-hour excursion to the Sunshine State, whose tourism in-

Police say no hurry to return suspect soon DETROIT – Police in Michigan said Saturday they’ll use the time it takes to return an Israeli man suspected in a three-state stabbing spree that left five men dead to work out logistics and address concerns for his safety.

Elias Abuelazam is “not going to be brought back today, tomorrow or Monday,” Michigan State Police Lt. Stephen Sipes told The Associated Press. “We have 15 days to get him back. There is no hurry at the moment.”

The 33-year-old waived extradition to Michigan during a Friday court hearing in Atlanta.

Abuelazam was arrested there Wednesday as he prepared to board a flight to Tel Aviv.

NTSB: Stevens’ plane had alert system

Raymond Wilhite (right) walks from the scene of a multiple fatal shooting in front of City Grill in Buffalo, N.Y., Saturday. Wilhite said his daughter, Tiffany Wilhite, 32, was among the victims.

JUNEAU, Alaska – The plane that crashed into an Alaskan mountainside and killed former Sen. Ted Stevens and four others was outfitted with an alert system that warned pilots of dangerous terrain.

But National Transportation Safety Board chairwoman Deborah Hersman said it’s not known if the system was working just before the plane crashed Monday.

The plane was also equipped with an emergency locator transmitter, Hersman said at a news conference in Anchorage Friday. When properly registered, it issues a distress signal to a control center via satellites and provides registration information.

She added it was also unclear why that signal didn’t activate.

Brown urges speedy return to gay nuptials SAN FRANCISCO – The attorneys who successfully sued to strike down California’s samesex marriage ban have joined Attorney General Jerry Brown in urging a federal appeals court to quickly allow gay marriages to resume in the state.

Theodore Olson and David Boies, the highprofile lawyers representing two couples, told the appeals court that same-sex couples are being hurt every day that Proposition 8 is enforced and should not be denied their civil rights while the ban’s sponsors pursue an appeal of last week’s decision overturning the 2008 measure.

Aftershocks hit Guam area after large quake HAGATNA, Guam – A flurry of earthquakes as powerful as magnitude 6.3 struck in the Pacific Ocean off Guam Saturday, hours after a large temblor hit the region.

The aftershocks were centered 230 miles south of Guam, the same area as the powerful 7.2-magnitude quake that hit earlier in the day, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. In addition to the 6.3 temblor, aftershocks hit with magnitudes of 4.6, 4.7, 5.0, and 5.2. None posed a tsunami threat, officials said.

Authorities on Guam and the nearby Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands said that despite the large quake’s size, it wasn’t felt and caused no damage.

Sheriff: Remains found in mine RENO, Nev. (AP) – Searchers have found human remains believed to be those of two missing miners at the bottom of a gold mine shaft in northern Nevada, authorities said Saturday.

Rescuers worked for more than 32 hours to safely access the area after a vertical pipe broke from a wall and struck a cage similar to an elevator lowering the two men into the shaft early Thursday, said Barrick Gold of North America spokesman Lou Schack.

It will take from three weeks to two months to identify the remains, said Elko County Sheriff Dale Lotspeich.

Lindsay Lohanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother says actress will move back to NY

hosted by the High Point Alumni Chapter of WSSU

Best Western High Point Hotel NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lindsay Lohanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom says the actress will be moving away from California and back to New York after she gets out of drug rehabilitation.

Dina Lohan, during an often tense interview with NBC â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;? show co-host Matt Lauer on Friday, said her daughter was doing â&#x20AC;&#x153;wonderfullyâ&#x20AC;? after 14 days in jail and lashed out at California Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel, who put the actress there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great,â&#x20AC;?

Lo-

han said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been through a lot. The judge played hardball.

Lindsay L. Lohan was in with alleged murderers and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become friends with a lot of them.

Lindsay rolled with the punches and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing wonderfully.â&#x20AC;?

Lindsay Lohan served 14 days of a 90-day jail sentence for violating her probation in a 2007 drug case. She was sent to a

UCLA drug rehab facility for a court-mandated three-month treatment, and her mother said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be out soon.

Revel removed herself from Lohanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case earlier this week after a prosecutor complained she improperly contacted experts or participants in the case.

Lauer prodded Lohan, noting that there were some observers who thought the 24-year-old actress had this coming to her because of bad behavior.

The third movie in the Pixar series about cowboy Woody, space ranger Buzz Lightyear and the toysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; owner, Andy, has crossed more than $920 million at box offices worldwide since opening June 18, according to Disney.

That means it edged out DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shrek 2â&#x20AC;? to attain the top spot.

Brown, says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s praying it will work.

The actress was forced to quit the show in April.

Cast members held a bone marrow donor registration drive for her last month.

Group wants local historic districts

WHO’S NEWS

----

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

JAMESTOWN – From Jamestown Library to the Potter House, town residents know they live among some of the most historic sites in the county.

But Mary Browning, a freelance history writer, says more can be done to save historic properties, and she is leading efforts to do just that.

The Jamestown Historic Preservation Group encourages efforts to start a town historic commission and historic districts to save more of the town’s history.

Jamestown was named for James Mendenhall.

The Quaker family founded the town in 1816. The family built a meeting house in Jamestown and a school nearby.

The Ragsdale family has been very influential in town business and politics. The Ragsdales have operated The Oakdale Cotton Mills company for more than 100 years.

Jamestown has two National Register Historic Districts. The Oakdale Cotton Mill and its mill village is the oldest continuously operating cotton mill in Guilford County. The Mendenhall homesite and plantation owned by local Quaker Richard Mendenhall was built around 1811.

There also is the main Jamestown Historic District, which includes Main Street and several recognized structures that played an integral role in the town’s history.

“But we have lost a number of old buildings, and some of them have been important,” said Browning, who is a member of the Guilford County Historic Preservation Commission. “With a town commission, we could create local districts to save properties.

A district also creates an accountability process and provides some control over what people can do.”

Town Council would have to create a local commission and historic districts. A commission could set local standards for preserving the special historic character of Jamestown.

Group members will be available soon to speak to civic or neighborhood groups.

“We are getting the word out,” Browning said.

Meanwhile, the group is working to bring a representative from the state historic preservation office to town to help suggest local preservation districts, Browning said. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

dren of low-income parents. The proceeds from a concert held in June, where Sleeping Booty performed, funded the organization’s Gifts for Homeless Kids, an event that provided toys and activities for homeless children on Aug. 12.

“Everyone loved the first concert,” said United Way President Bobby Smith. “The feedback we have received was

great, the music was great and the attendance was great. We were able to raise funds for the toy drive from the concert without asking for additional help from our friends and donors during the summer.”

Smith said about 2,000 people attended the first concert in June.

The event has several sponsors including the city of High Point, which

was the nonprofit’s largest employee campaign in its annual fundraising efforts last year.

“We’re really in it to help downtown High Point, too,” Smith said.

“If we make funds from the event, that’s great.

But the city employees have been very generous to us. We want to return the favor and hopefully generate the largest audience possible.”

Attendees can bring lawn chairs to the event, but no coolers are allowed. Food and beverages will be available for purchase.

Thomasville considers support of current ABC system

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – The Thomasville City Council on Monday night will consider a resolution in support for North Carolina to keep its current ABC system.

“Continually, the state legislature is considering changing local control over ABC boards,” Thomasville City Manager Kelly Craver said. “As these new strategies by the state are coming up, the local ABC board maintains just because there have been some few bad instances, as a whole, ABC boards are solidly run by great people and the system does not need to change.”

Under North Carolina law, it is a local decision to establish and operate ABC stores. Local governments act through an appointed local ABC board, which balances the control, profits and spirts in its jurisdiction, according to the resolution. State legislators have had discussions about privatizing the ABC system.

Leigh Ann Lowe is general manager of the ABC Store at 1414 National Highway in Thomasville. She said the ABC system should remain the same in North Carolina.

“The No. 1 reason is that the controlled system is not driven like the private sector is,” Lowe said. “We do like to have a profit, but that is not our No. 1 goal whenever we have underage people coming into the store or intoxicated people coming into the store. That’s probably the biggest difference between the two.

“We have our jobs and we come in and we have to do what we are supposed to do. One of the top priorities is to make sure we don’t sell to underage or intoxicated people. In the private sector, that’s what they are driven (to for) profit in my opinion.

There’s a lot of things going on with the governor. I’m sure they will come to their conclusion.”

If the system was changed, the city would lose a total of $180,000, Craver said. He said $120,000 of

that amount is made in profit from the ABC system, $50,000 of it is a gift to the city and $10,000 is used by the Thomasville Police Department to educate children and others on the use of alcohol.

Craver said the state took $80,000 last year of Thomasville’s ABC money because of budget shortfalls. He said the governor had promised that it would be a one-time reduction.

Craver said the resolution is being considered by municipalities across the state.

“When local voters approved liquor sales for off-premises consumption, the voters did not vote to allow liquor to be sold in private retail establishments, but only through publicly controlled local ABC stores,” the resolution reads. “Current law provides that profits from ABC store sales are returned to local government, and this stream is a critical source of local government funding.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

RALEIGH (AP) – Emails involving a North Carolina public television report critical of Alcoa show that one researcher on the project took money from a group opposed to the aluminum company’s continued control of dams on the Yadkin River.

E-mails released by UNC-TV show that former House Speaker Richard Morgan, who now works for the North Carolina Water Rights Committee, agreed to pay $3,000 to researcher Martin Sansone.

“Martin does a lot of research, so he was doing research for me,” reporter Eszter Vajda told The News & Observer of Raleigh in an interview Friday. Vajda said the water group wanted information Sansone had uncovered for its website.

Morgan said Vajda and Sansone asked for money during a meeting with him and others working with the water rights committee.

“They both met with me and others and essentially pitched us for subsistence so he could stay here,” Morgan said. “He couldn’t afford to stay otherwise.”

Sansone, who lives in Europe, said he was simply trying to obtain information for Vajda.

In this 2006 photo, Edward Morrison holds up a sign protesting against Smithfield Packing in Fayetteville. The owner of the world’s largest hog slaughterhouse and the union it fought in one of the South’s longest-running labor disputes have buried nearly a generation of animosity.

NC slaughterhouse, union get along after fighting report said.

Workplace injuries and the rate of employees who miss work are both down. While the sputtering economy helps keep people at their jobs, some say the work environment at the massive plant is better than ever.

Managers seem nicer, said Pam Norris, who has worked at the plant for about three years.

“They quit yelling and screaming at you,” said Norris, a 48-year-old from Clarkton who runs a machine that wraps pork chops packaged for grocery stores.

The plant about 80 miles south of Raleigh is the size of a shopping mall, towering in the tiny town of Tar Heel, population 70. Workers who commute an hour or more from across eastern North Carolina and South Carolina kill up to 32,000 hogs a day and slice them into pork loins and hams. The

Biologist says dead fish likely from warm water ASHEVILLE (AP) – A biologist says hundreds of dead fish found floating in a pond in the North Carolina mountains likely died due to warmer than usual water temperatures.

The Asheville Citizen Times reported Saturday that hundreds of dead fish were found this week floating on the 5-acre pond at Azalea Dog Park.

North Carolina Wildlife Resources biologist Powell Wheeler says the deaths were likely

caused by a low oxygen levels due to the warmer water, which tends to hold less oxygen that cooler water.

It was not the first fish kill this year in North Carolina.

Biologists say about 7,000 striped bass died in the state’s largest manmade lake since July.

Those deaths also were blamed in part on the increased water temperatures caused by record heat across the state this summer.

plant represents about 30 percent of the company’s worldwide slaughtering capacity.

The company and the UFCW locked horns almost as soon as the plant opened in 1992.

Employees complained the unrelenting pace led to repetitive-motion and cutting injuries, and about bosses who were strict.

A truce was imposed in October 2008 by a federal judge in a settlement to the company’s lawsuit alleging the UFCW’s yearslong, multistate shaming campaign amounted to racketeering. The company estimated the negative publicity cost it $900 million.

Two elections in the 1990s were marred by company threats to freeze wages, fire workers and close the plant if the union was approved.

But in December 2008, a narrow majority of workers voted for the union.

TAR HEEL (AP) – The owner of the world’s largest hog slaughterhouse and the union it fought in one of the South’s longest-running labor disputes have buried more than 15 years of animosity.

A year after their first labor contract took effect in the union-hostile region, the United Food and Commercial Workers and managers of the Smithfield Packing plant said they’ve set aside bitterness in a rural region where jobs are scarce.

“Surprisingly, for the 17 years of fighting we had, our relationship is as good as any place with Smithfield that we represent,” said Mark Lauritsen, the UFCW’s international vice president for meatpacking plants.

Two-thirds of the 32,000 employees in corporate parent Smithfield Foods’ pork division are covered by union contracts, the company’s annual

Atheist sues for grant refund from landmark cross

AP

Catholic Maronite Archbishop Bechara el-Rai gestures during a press conference against the airing of a program about Jesus on two Shiite Muslim TV stations, including Hezbollahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Al-Manar TV, at a Catholic Maronite center outside Beirut, Lebanon, Friday. Two Shiite Muslim television stations announced they have stopped airing a program about Jesus after many Christians in the country criticized the work.

Lebanon TV scraps controversial Jesus show BEIRUT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Two Shiite Muslim television stations in Lebanon canceled a controversial program about Jesus on Friday, saying they do not want to stir up sectarian conflict in the country.

The 17-episode program, which was produced in Iran, describes Jesus from an Islamic point of view. Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet and a teacher, but not the son of God. The debate has particular resonance in Lebanon, an Arab nation of 4 million people with a grim history of sectarian strife. The countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pop-

ulation is divided into 18 sects, including Sunni and Shiite Muslims, Christians and Druse.

Al-Manar, a television station run by Lebanonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powerful militant group, Hezbollah, and the National Broadcasting Network, NBN, started airing the program this week at the beginning of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Christian priests and politicians quickly protested, saying the topic might endanger national coexistence.

The program does not show respect to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jesus, the church and Christi-

anity,â&#x20AC;? Catholic Maronite Archbishop Bechara el-Rai told reporters Friday.

Shortly before el-Raiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s news conference, AlManar and NBN issued a statement saying the program â&#x20AC;&#x153;shows the great personality of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prophet Jesus, the son of Mary, peace be upon him.â&#x20AC;? But, the statement said, the stations decided to stop airing the program in respect to other Lebanese sects.

Information Minister Tarek Mitri said that even though he is against censorship, he agreed with the cancel-

lation because of Lebanonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s religious diversity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a special case in Lebanon which is considered a country of dialogue and a country where Christians and Muslims meet,â&#x20AC;? Mitri said.

After Lebanon gained independence from French rule in 1943, Christians dominated the country. Muslim de-

mands for reform helped trigger the 1975-90 civil war. A 1989 agreement ended the civil war and the two sides have since shared power.

The political system reflects Lebanonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sectarian makeup. The presidency goes to a Maronite Catholic, the prime minister must be a Sunni Muslim, and a Shiite Muslim must be the parliament speaker.

ST. LOUIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An atheist is suing to force the administrators of a towering cross in southern Illinois to return a $20,000 state grant toward its restoration, saying Thursday it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;blatantly unconstitutionalâ&#x20AC;? to spend taxpayer money on a Christian symbol.

Caretakers of the 11story Bald Knob Cross of Peace near Alto Pass, Ill., some 130 miles southeast of St. Louis, insist the grant was legally awarded to the 50year-old landmark in mid-2008 by classifying it as a tourist attraction, not a religious symbol.

Rob Sherman disagrees, pressing in his federal lawsuit in Springfield, Ill., that the grant violates the U.S. Constitutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s establishment clause used to argue a separation of church and state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There has never been any question, outside of southern Illinois, that this state grant is blatantly unconstitutional,â&#x20AC;? said Sherman.

Lean manufacturing helps business compete In response to Gariel J. Ross, Your View, Aug. 4, “Heat, lean manufacturing take toll on workers.”

I am a retired supervisor at Thomas Built Buses. I remember when the workers were on production, and at that time the employees had to work for every cent they earned.

I started working on the floor before I became a supervisor, so I know what I am talking about. I know that the new C-2 plant has air-conditioning. I also know that in the old plant there are fans everywhere.

Thomas needs new things like lean manufacturing to compete.

Maybe they should go back to the old way with pay, and make

Community support makes Sidewalk Stroll a success On behalf of the Uptowne High Point Association and the City Project, I would like to personally thank everyone who came out on Aug. 7 to support the businesses of Uptowne High Point during

the Saturday Sidewalk Stroll.

Uptowne is a unique place – the location of over 150 businesses and over 20 restaurants – in a setting that is walkable and friendly.

Nearly all of our businesses are locally-owned and operated and offer a range of goods and services that you just can’t find anywhere else.

There’s more in store. While we are planning future events (Ilderton’s Beach Blast is in September), we want to encourage you to come back before then and bring your friends and family to experience everything that Uptowne has to offer. Eat a

meal. Take a stroll. Peer into a window. You never know what – or whom – you might find. You don’t have to go anywhere else.

We’ve got it all right here, right in your own hometown.

Also, a special thanks to the High Point Convention and Visitors Bureau for their support as well as The High Point Enterprise for its help and generosity in promoting the Summer Sidewalk Stroll.

Once again, thanks for supporting Uptowne, and thanks for supporting High Point.

Attitude is positive at Oak Hollow

DAVIDSON COUNTY

----

Commissioners Chairman Max Walser, 4695 Arnold Road, Lexington, NC 27295; 7316242

‘O

ak Hollow Mall, located in beautiful High Point, North Carolina – the furniture capital of the world! Oak Hollow Mall boasts five department stores, over 50 specialty shops, a seven-screen cinema, great dining choices at the Oasis Food Court or one of our sit down style restaurants and much more.

Oak Hollow Mall – your Style of Shopping!”

That was the message on the Oak Hollow Mall website home page back in the day – about a dozen years before the complex was listed in 2008 as one of 84 dead malls by Green Street Advisors, an independent research, trading and consulting firm. Green Street Advisors contends that any large, enclosed mall generating sales of $250 or less (U.S. average is $381) is in danger of failure. Even with Sears, Belk and J.C. Penney as remaining anchors, the switch of Dillard’s in late 2009 from a two-story department store to a one-floor clearance center and with nearly half the remaining retail units at Oak Hollow not occupied, it’s even more difficult for the mall to raise its sales per square foot figure significantly.

While current mall management has lured some nontraditional tenants – such as The Crossing Church @ High Point, the Christian group Arts Evangelica and the Sears Product Services Marketing Center – those entities and the traffic they generate apparently haven’t helped increase revenues significantly for mall stores.

The High Point Enterprise has kept you abreast of what has been happening at Oak Hollow Mall since it opened in 1995 and particularly over the last half-dozen years since leases began to expire and many tenants decided to leave for a variety of reasons. The Enterprise alerted you almost three years ago that CBL was willing, even eager, to dump the mall and, in mid-July, reported that as many as three bidders (all of whom indicated they desired to maintain Oak Hollow as a retail complex) had offered to buy the mall. On Aug. 2, CBL & Associates reported in its second-quarter report that it had entered into a contract to sell Oak Hollow Mall, “subject to due diligence and customary closing conditions.” Sale price is estimated at between $12 million and $15 million. The Sears and Dillard’s store structures are separately owned and are not part of the sale.

It appears to many to be a grim situation.

But Mayor Becky Smothers urges, in a letter to the editor, residents of the greater High Point area to “do what we can to make Oak Hollow Mall a retail success ... shop in High Point ... to support High Point merchants throughout the city.” We’re also encouraged by the fact that managers of the Sears, Belk, Dillard’s and J.C. Penney stores and the Sears call center have been meeting regularly recently and viewing changes at Oak Hollow Mall as a “positive opportunity.” Perhaps they, along with new management, can lead the synergetic activity, in spite of a lousy economy and uncertainty, that will help the mall not only to survive but perhaps even prosper.

Hope springs eternal ...

Editorial cartoons get to the heart in a flash!

Y

ou’ve heard the expression, I’m sure, that a picture is worth a thousand words. Basically, a picture/cartoon tells a story just as well as a large amount of descriptive text.

The Phrase Finder claims this phrase emerged in the U.S. in the early part of the 20th century, with its introduction widely attributed to Frederick R. Barnard, who published a piece commending the effectiveness of graphics in advertising with the title “One look is worth a thousand words,” in Printer’s Ink, December 1921. According to The Phrase Finder, Printer’s Ink printed another form of the phrase in March 1927, this time suggesting a Chinese origin: “Chinese proverb. One picture is worth ten thousand words.” The arbitrary escalation from ‘one thousand’ to ‘ten thousand’ and the switching from Japan to China as the source leads The Phrase Finder to smell a rat with this derivation, which has led to another popular belief about the phrase, i.e., that it was coined by Confucius. It might fit the Chinese-sounding ‘Confucius he say’ style, but the Chinese derivation was pure invention, The Phrase Finder says.

Regardless, editorial/political cartoons are – according to Charles Press, author of “The Political Cartoon,” who claims “political cartoons are a unique creation – pictorial editorial and artistic social commentary” that allows cartoonists “to make social commentary beyond the boundaries of the written word.”

FisheyesLineH reminds us that “political cartoonists have shaped public opinion since the mid-19th century ... relying on symbolism and caricature, experimenting in fresh imagery” to help people think about politics. “Whether their purpose is to promote the status quo, raise social concerns or to spur people to fight hard for change, political cartoons have changed the face of history.”

The Brief History of Cartoons website says, “Political cartoons are for the most part composed of two elements: caricature, which parodies the individual, and allusion, which creates the situation or context into which the individual is placed. Caricature as a Western discipline goes back to Leonardo da Vinci’s artistic explorations of the ideal type of deformity – the grotesque – which he used to better understand the concept of ideal beauty.” Benjamin Franklin’s “Join or Die,” which depicts a snake whose severed parts represent the colonies, is acknowledged as the first political

cartoon in America, the site declares. The image had an explicitly political purpose from the start, as Franklin used it in support of his plan for an intercolonial association to deal with the Iroquois at the Albany Congress of OPINION 1754 (although some historians claim he drew it to spur Tom the colonies’ to rebel against Blount British rule). It came to be ■■■ published in “virtually every newspaper on the continent”; reasons for its widespread currency include its demagogic reference to an Indian threat as well as its basis in the popular superstition that a dead snake would come back to life if the pieces were placed next to each other, the site says.

Utah Educational Network proclaims: “In the late 1800s, an increase in newspaper and magazine circulation provided a rich environment for the rise and use of political cartoons. During the Spanish American War, William R. Hearst encouraged the visual arts of Frederick Remington by saying, ‘you furnish the pictures and I’ll furnish the war.’ Political cartoons communicate powerful ideas often in a humorous, enlightening manner, by incorporating the events of the period into an easily understandable format most people could relate to even with limited reading abilities. Symbols, caricature, drawings and exaggerations used by the cartoonist point out themes and problems of any given time period.”

When Vince Wheeler, The High Point Enterprise opinion page editor, and I select cartoons for publication, we often search for those that, as standalones, are worth “a thousand words” or at least are provocative enough to spur multiple thoughts. Just as often, we seek cartoons to accompany – agreeing with or countering – the thoughts expressed in YOUR VIEW, by columnists (readers-write, Enterprise staff and/or syndicated) and, of course, in OUR VIEW. Some of you are offended by our selections from time to time.

Joan Rivers answers those who are offended by her brand of humor by insisting that the very point of comedy is to laugh at the most morose tragedy – how could anyone possibly get through life otherwise?

It’s worth it for us if the cartoons we choose make you think!

SBI is guilty of poor performance Who cares P about the leaks?

E

very once in a while, I get the feeling that the liberal assault on common sense and traditional American values has taken a breather. Of course, it never takes long to get slapped back into reality. The latest slap came from White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.

After WikiLeaks posted thousands of classified military documents on the Internet, Gibbs said that the White House “can do nothing but implore the person who has those classified, top secret documents not to post anymore.”

Really? Implore? The leader of the free world and sole superpower can do nothing but beg earnestly? Did it not occur to Gibbs that maybe we should find and prosecute the source (or sources) of the leaks? We can’t do anything about what’s already been leaked, but shouldn’t we be trying to prevent more leaks? To put it bluntly, and to borrow a recent headline: Plug the OPINION damned hole!

Even Gibbs Mike admitted that the Hughes leaked documents ■■■ have jeopardized the lives of the people in Afghanistan who are trying to help us win the war. The leaks have obviously jeopardized American lives and made winning the war harder than it needs to be. The intent of WikiLeaks was to put a quick end to the war in Afghanistan, but their irresponsible actions will most likely extend the duration of the war. And what if we did leave now? Have these Useful Idiots ever heard of Pol Pot and the millions who died after America gave up on Vietnam?

Why is the attitude of the White House toward the leaks so blasé? It took Obama three days to make a pathetically insignificant statement about the leaks.

Not a word about plugging the hole or bringing the perpetrators to justice, Obama could only say that he was “concerned” and that there wasn’t anything new in the documents.

And of course, he threw in the obligatory cheap shot against former President Bush.

During the Bush Administration, liberals were extremely vocal about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They claimed to support the troops. In reality, liberals did more harm than good then, and they continue to create problems for our troops now. A few years ago, liberals were giving support to our enemies by claiming the war in Iraq was lost. Now they’re handing our enemies valuable intelligence on a silver platter.

The armchair generals at WikiLeaks claim that our troops are dishonest and have committed war crimes. Yet these same liberals condone the blatant dishonesty and heinous crimes of our enemies. One major reason why the wars have lasted so long with so many American casualties is that we’ve gone so far out of our way trying not to hurt innocent civilians.

The whole situation with WikiLeaks is truly disgusting, and seeing American liberals on the wrong side of this issue is even more so – but totally expected.

I believe in freedom of speech and freedom of the press, not just in America. If we suppress WikiLeaks, we may be doing more harm than good. However, there’s no such protection for the leakers of classified national security information. They should be hunted down and punished severely.

rosecutors, defense attorneys, out-of-state criminal investigators and even law enforcement officials have complained for years about investigative practices at the State Bureau of Investigation.

It took two high-profile verdict reversals and knowledge about a damning investigative series in The News and Observer before Attorney General Roy Cooper took action by replacing the director of the SBI and suspending the bloodstain pattern analyst’s unit.

These revelations are the latest in a series of misconduct, corruption and ethical violations in state government. The public is weary of problems in the Department of Motor Vehicles, the State Highway Patrol, the State Board of Elections and now the SBI. It helps explain why citizens of this state hold a low opinion of state government in general.

We find it unconscionable that one person suffered 17 years in prison and another 14 years in confinement MY SPIN because of poor SBI work. How Tom many more Campbell innocent people ■■■ are behind bars in our state because of “junk science,” prejudiced investigators or lazy and fraudulent investigations? More than one district attorney is questioning whether shoddy investigative tactics by the SBI might have impacted their homicide cases. They have every right to be concerned and it would be reasonable, although time consuming and expensive, to review every capital conviction in North Carolina.

It is also reasonable to ask what action will be taken against the agents, supervi-

sors and SBI director whose shoddy work, poor oversight and lax management cost at least two men so much of their lives. The public will forgive honest mistakes, but it appears there were deliberate attempts to cover up or, worse still, manufacture evidence. When complaints were lodged, management turned their collective heads.

The state will no doubt pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation to these two and perhaps others who have been wronged, but the greater cost is the further loss of confidence in law enforcement. Our pursuit of justice should include those in the SBI who are guilty of crimes of omission and commission.

Not only do we hold those in law enforcement to high standards but we should also hold them accountable for their actions. Getting fired for knowingly putting an innocent person in jail for 17 years seems too small a price to

pay for the crime committed against this person.

The larger question is what our leaders will do to restore confidence? Business-as-usual responses about people needing more training or reassigning those involved to another division are not acceptable.

This is a time when leaders must do three things.

They must acknowledge the failures, tell the public what actions they have taken to fix the problems and offer sufficient transparency to demonstrate these sins will not occur again.

This accounting must also report personnel actions taken. If we cannot trust those in law enforcement, who can we trust?

First lady folly Michelle Obama sends wrong message with trip to Spain

T

he members of the media who savaged my stepmother Nancy Reagan for buying new china for the White House – dinnerware that will last for decades – have for the most part either ignored the cost and the significance of Michelle Obama’s regal visit to Spain or downplayed it.

Those who criticized this display of Mrs. Obama’s royal pretensions – the cartoonish depiction of the First Lady as Marie Antoinette – she of “Let them eat cake” infamy, reaching for a sweet, got right to the heart of the matter.

Others simply went into ecstasy over her comings and goings, all but swooning over her meeting with OPINION genuine royalty, the King and Queen of Spain.

Michael It was said that after Reagan having endured an unan■■■ nounced visit to her Newport estate from Jackie Kennedy and little Caroline, a dowager from one of the nation’s economic royalty sniffed, “Who were these people?”

I suspect His Spanish Majesty at least harbored similar thoughts.

Presenting themselves as “private tourists,” the First Lady and her vast entourage of guests and Secret Service agents spent a lot of the public’s money.

Rather than lowering herself to use public transportation for herself and her large entourage of pals, she used Air Force planes. Cost? According to CBS News, a whopping $146,000 round-trip cost for the U.S. Air Force 757 jets. This,

the network explained, did not include the cost of time on the ground.

The tab for lodging about 70 security types – Secret Service and U.S. military – amounted to something on the order of $95,000 in hotel costs. In addition, security personnel got a government allowance of $273 per day. Added to that tab were the costs of keeping the dozen-or-so cars in her motorcade chugging along.

It’s not the money alone that should rile her fellow Americans. As I see it, the outrageous aspect of the whole episode is the time she picked to go jetting off to Spain with her daughter and some 40 close friends. As she hobnobbed with Spanish royalty and went sightseeing with her coterie of chums, back home unemployment stood at 91⁄2 percent; last month alone some 131,000 of her fellow Americans lost their jobs.

She has been called “tone deaf” by some media observers, suggesting that she sees herself as being above it all. The hubbub about a pricey coat put together

by a designer who also caters to the illustrious anti-American Spice Girls certainly so indicates. After all, she has to be suitably clad when she appears in public, even if the public wears street clothes while standing in the unemployment lines.

Her behavior has been repeatedly mirrored by her husband, who displays his grief over the plight of the victims of the Gulf oil spill by hitting a little white ball (some symbolism here?) around various exclusive golf courses from coast to coast.

Surely America’s would-be royal couple must realize that their behavior will most certainly cost a lot more than the public’s money. If ever there was a oneterm presidency, this one seems on the road to becoming a reality.

Moreover, Barack Obama’s loyal constituency on Capitol Hill is going to be the first to pay the piper. November promises to be the equivalent of the storming of the Bastille, with hordes of Obama supporters on Capitol Hill suffering the electoral equivalent of a very sharp guillotine blade.

Considering the fact that Obama is one smart cookie, the penalty due and payable for his behavior and that of his spouse cannot have escaped him, unless of course he is delusional and is convinced they can get away with all this “let ‘em eat cake” business. ... We’ll see.

A mosque near ground zero is fool’s gold

BY BOSE RAVENEL

I

n response to Leonard Pitts’ arguments supporting the controversial planned construction of a mosque proximate to ground zero, I offer the following: Pitts refers to the site as “where Muslim men, acting from a perverse distortion of their religion ...” According to historians and individuals who know Arabic, the Quran in its entirety calls for the destruction or subjugation of all “infidels” who refuse to embrace Islam.

Muhammad in his teachings (Hadith) affirmed the same message. Although earlier Quranic passages speak of peace, later ones call for jihad against infidels. This is illustrated by ex-Islamic terrorist Walid Shoebat in his book “Why We Want to Kill You.” Shoebat renounced Islam after he studied thoroughly the Quran – in Arabic – and the Bible, embraced Christianity, and moved to the United States.

The majority of Muslims do not believe in jihad and are

peace-loving, but the problem with Islam is not the majority of Muslims who do not follow the teachings of the Quran and Muhammad – but those who do. Jihad and violence derive from the core teachings of the ultimate authority for Islam.

Even if “only” 10 percent of Muslims in the United States are “radical,” that represents a large number. FBI reports show that some 10 percent of the mosques in the United States teach jihad and foment surreptitious sabotage – talking peace in English before the public, while teaching jihad in Arabic behind closed doors. Part of the strategy for jihadists is to pose as peaceloving citizens within the culture, while secretly working to promote Sharia law or other ways to subjugate nonbelievers.

Concerning the intentions for the mosque near ground zero, Walid Shoebat reveals how those behind the scenes,

speaking Arabic, view this mosque as moving the United States incrementally toward Sharia law – while in public, speaking English, say the things Mr. Pitts cites (http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=n-UDl3j8WZQ). According to Middle East historian Steven Carol (“How Muslims Would View a Mosque at Ground Zero,” Levitt Letter August 2010. P. 12), ArabMuslim conquerors over history have demonstrated a penchant for destroying nonIslamic religious shrines and building their own at the site of those ruins – interpreted by them as demonstrating that “their God” (Allah) is greater than yours.

This can be seen in two prominent examples, the Ibrahimi Mosque built in Hebron at the Tomb of the Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and the Dome of the Rock built on the ruins of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

Regarding Pitts’ condescending reference to some in America believing that President Obama is a Muslim, this could explain the president’s

actions and words before Muslims here and abroad – regularly denigrating the United States in the eyes of certain leaders in Muslim countries. Robert Spencer in “The Complete Infidels Guide to the Koran” (Regenery 2009) quotes the president in his speech to the Islamic world in Cairo on June 4, 2009, as extending a “greeting of peace from Muslim communities in my country: assalaamu alaykum ” – which means “peace be upon you.” According to Islamic law this greeting is extended from one Muslim to another.

Spencer describes numerous instances where President Obama castigated his own country and paid homage to Islamic countries while speaking before largely Muslim audiences. It is entirely reasonable, therefore, to wonder if the president is a Muslim.

DR. BOSE RAVENEL is a physician in High Point, has visited the Holy Land and is a student of the history of the conflict between Islam and the non-Islamic world.

For some in North Carolina, goodness grows at home CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In shallow trays of organic soil at her greenhouse in Harrisburg, onetime real estate agent Kate Brun is cultivating a business: growing and selling microgreens, tiny herbs and vegetables harvested when their first leaves appear.

Not even a year old, her company is already taking root â&#x20AC;&#x201C; part of a wave of the homemade and homegrown springing up in Charlotte and across the country.

Two factors have combined to propel the trend, experts say: the increasingly popular local-food movement, and a recession thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prompted people to consider different ways to earn a living. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really are going to need more producers who are willing to grow for this kind of market,â&#x20AC;? says Nancy Creamer, director of the Center for Environmental Farming Systems at N.C. State University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sometimes a learning curve and some barriers, but I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of interest and a lot of opportunity.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how Brun, a 35year-old mother of two, sees it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finding something, having faith in what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got and having the courage to go do it. I never enjoyed going to work until now.â&#x20AC;?

The overall number of farms in North Carolina declined 2 percent in the most recent U.S. Census of Agriculture â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to 52,913 in 2007, compared with the previous count in 2002.

But the number of small producers, on plots up to 9

acres, jumped 25 percent, to about 5,000. The pattern has continued since then, observers say.

Area farmers markets and agricultural extension offices report a boom in inquiries about growing and selling local produce, as well as new producers entering the arena. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 78-person waiting list for spots at the certified organic incubator farm in Cabarrus County, which began in 2008, county extension director Debbie Bost says.

The innovative project now has 16 farmers working up to a third of an acre apiece, learning about sustainable-food practices and gaining experience so they can one day farm land of their own. The participants are ages 18 to 59, with a range

of education levels. Some are there full-time; others work elsewhere, too, including at Wells Fargo, US Airways and Carolinas Medical Center, Bost says.

Brun had always enjoyed gardening and began growing microgreens for her family last summer. By that point, the economy had taken a toll on both her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s construction management and contracting company and on her part-time work as a real estate agent, so she mulled whether there was a way to make money from something she loved.

Inspired by a friend in California who had done the same, she decided she could sell what she grew.

AP

Kate Brun, owner of Lucky Leaf Gardens of Harrisburg, grows microgreens. The varieties she grows include snow pea tendril and Detroit beets.

Buy the book?

Less-expensive options available for college students PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — College can cause a chronic case of sticker shock.

In addition to skyrocketing tuition comes the cost of textbooks, which the U.S. Government Accountability Office says has risen twice as fast as inflation for two decades.

Students now spend nearly $700 — or more — each year on textbooks.

But there is good news.

A federal that law went into effect this summer requires publishers to tell professors how much their textbooks cost and mandates that schools identify books needed for

each class at registration so students have time to shop around.

Here are ways to cut textbook costs: • Most textbooks are still sold through the campus bookstore, according the National Association of College Stores. The trade group recommends shopping early, buying used and checking your store’s website for deals.

Also try the stores’ Facebook pages and Twitter feeds for specials. And remember to recoup some of your cash at the end of the term by selling your books back to the store.

• The new law guar-

antees students easy access to the ISBN, the international standard book number that identifies the textbook, making it easier to comparison shop. Try Amazon. com, efollet.com, iChapters.com and Half.com, which is part of eBay. Also check sites that let students search several retailers at once, like Bigwords.com and Bestbookbuys.com.

Some students turn to Craigslist, and at Campusbooks.com you can find the best prices for both buying books at the beginning of the term and selling them at the end.

• The electronic reading format is growing but remains limited, aside from books whose copyright has expired, some of which can be found free through Google Books,

Project Gutenberg and other websites.

Flat World Knowledge, founded by former textbook industry leaders, provides free online access to some textbooks plus print-on-demand, audio and downloadable versions. This fall it is adding versions for electronic book readers. The company said its customers routinely spend 80 percent less than they would on traditional textbooks.

Also offering versions for e-readers are sites such as Coursesmart. com, which also provides online tools for highlighting or taking notes in electronic books.

Digital books were available for about 15 percent of courses last year, according to the National Association of College Stores. Experts

expect the format to keep expanding.

• Numerous websites — Chegg, BookRenter, CollegeBook Renter and others — have popped up to lend textbooks for a fee. The services typically operate through the mail — like Netflix for books.

Barnes & Noble also plans to expand its textbook rental program. Renting allows students to read a printed book without extra equipment and — in many cases — still highlight and take notes in the text. BookRenter, which says its customers can save 75 percent off buying a book, now offers rental services in partnership with more than 250 campus bookstores.

Some colleges also loan textbooks through campus libraries but availability can be limited.

Family recipes serve sweet success

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT - Chocolate turtle and white chocolate raspberry cheesecakes are a familiar taste to patrons of downtown Greensboro.

Thanks to the recent opening of the second Cheesecakes by Alex in north High Point, owners hope the taste will become a favorite to those in the Furniture City as well.

Ralph Amoroso has opened the second location at 5870 Samet Drive, Suite 101, in the space formerly occupied by Entrée Vous.

He is the brother of Alex Amoroso, who opened Cheesecakes by Alex at 315 S. Elm St. in Greensboro six years ago.

“Alex started the concept, and I decided to open this one here,” Ralph Amoroso said. “I’m licensed to use all of his recipes, and everything but the cheesecakes are made here. We get those fresh from him.”

Amoroso said he grew up in an Italian family with seven children where everyone learned how to cook, including he and his brother. He, his brother and his father also have managed several restaurants. His father managed Mr. Dunderbak’s in Greensboro.

“My brothers and sisters - we have all worked in restaurants most of our lives,” he said. “We’re one big Italian family that argues over whose recipe is better than the other. We all learned how to cook.”

The cooking skills they obtained led to the 19 different flavors of cheesecakes offered daily at the shop and the scones, muffins, coffees and soon-to-be launched smoothie line.

The store takes walk-in orders and pre-orders.

Besides cooking, Amoroso said he has a passion for architecture and design as well. He took architectural courses at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and designed several Triad restaurants.

At the Greensboro store, he designed the layout of the building’s interior.

“I have 30 years of experience owning and designing restaurants,” he said. “I’ve been doing this for a long time.”

Amoroso said he decided to try a second location of his brother’s store when the design and construction business slowed but his brother’s business

“Since Alex’s business was doing so well, we decided we wanted to get another model going to expand.”

Winston-Salem also was considered for the second location, but the space at the Palladium shopping center was the perfect size, had some restaurant equipment already installed and was in a good location, he said.

“My store is the model

for future new stores,” he said. “If things go well, I’d like to open more stores.

We wanted to stay close to home this time so we can tweak the system.”

He said his brother also may open one central kitchen distribution center in the future. But for now, the two are trying to spread the word about the new shop and make it as much of a staple in High Point as it is in Greensboro.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

“There’s still a lot of people that don’t know we’re here,” he said.

“I want them to know they can come here to get other things besides cheesecake. They can in the morning for a bagel or a cup of coffee. If High Point treats us well, hopefully in a year we can move onto WinstonSalem or Burlington or anywhere.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Just because mobile phones are becoming more like small computers doesn’t mean you should have to do a lot of typing on them.

That’s the thinking behind the latest update to Google Inc.’s popular Android software for mobile phones.

The latest version of Android 2.2, released Thursday, includes 10 new voice commands that can be used to operate phones without using a keypad.

Although Google says about 200,000 Androidpowered phones are being sold each day, not all of them are equipped with the 2.2 operating system, also known as Froyo.

Google’s Nexus One phone already runs on Froyo, but users will need to download free updates through its Android Market. Motorola Inc.’s Droid 2, which went on sale this week, already has the necessary updates.

The features are expected to be added to HTC Corp.’s Evo and Incredible phones when they get Froyo in the coming months.

Google’s new “Voice Actions” tool” enables people to dictate their text messages and e-mails.

The price is right

---

A â&#x20AC;&#x153;For Saleâ&#x20AC;? sign is displayed outside a home in Springfield, Ill., in this July photograph.

Selling a home in tough times is possible NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The good news for sellers: Your house will sell. The bad? Only if the price is just right.

That could mean biting down hard and slashing tens of thousands from your ideal listing price if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re serious about selling. And you should be prepared to get even less than that.

The recently expired tax credits for homebuyers gave sellers a boost.

Home sales surged and values edged up. The worst appeared to be behind us. But since the deadline passed at the end of April, housing has faltered. Job insecurity, tight credit and consumer confidence are undermining a sustained recovery, despite the lowest mortgage rates in decades.

In June, sales of previously occupied homes fell 5.1 percent, while new home sales posted the second-weakest month on record. And many economists expect prices to decline another 2 percent to 10

percent followed by â&#x20AC;&#x153;a long, flat bottom,â&#x20AC;? said Stan Humphries, chief economist at real estate website Zillow.com.

That means sellers must set their price with precision or risk languishing on the market.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the disconnect facing sellers: The vast majority of sellers believe their homes are worth more than what their real estate agent recommends, according to HomeGain.com. At the same time, most buyers think for-sale homes are overpriced.

So how do you find the sweet spot?

Analyze your market first. Determine how many houses similar to yours are up for sale.

Consider neighborhood, school district, size and price point. The more homes there are, the more it becomes necessary to list at the lower end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want buyers to ask why is this house priced so competitively,â&#x20AC;? said Ron Phipps of Phipps Realty in Warwick, R.I. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I

want the answer to be an offer.â&#x20AC;?

Foreclosures and short sales, where the owner sells for less than whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owned on the property, complicate matters. Be honest. Are the foreclosures or short sales in your market a reasonable alternative a buyer would consider?

Some wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be because they are in disrepair.

But others, especially short sales, are often in good condition and can be priced 15 percent to 25 percent below a comparable home.

So youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the right price, or a price low enough to attract bids.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be disappointed when an offer comes in below the listing price. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t send back a token counteroffer thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a few thousand dollars below what you want. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buyers are not interested in back-and-forth negotiations these days,â&#x20AC;?

Phipps said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are less emotional and more disciplined. They will walk away.â&#x20AC;?

If no one shows up for

an open house, if no one calls and if there are no offers, then the price is too high. That means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to make a meaningful price cut. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be alone. Almost a quarter of all listings on the market at the beginning of July had at least one price reduction. The average discount from the original listing price? Ten percent, according to Trulia.com.

And cut with a machete and not a butter knife. Too many dinky reductions become a scarlet letter on your front lawn and would-be buyers will think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not serious.

Sellers are always chasing falling prices, said Jonathan Miller, president and chief executive of real estate appraisal and consulting firm Miller Samuel Inc. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They want to sell for more than what they owe or they want to get the money they put into the house,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The market couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care less about your personal situation.â&#x20AC;?

Bank customers fight overdraft fees DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bank customers fighting high overdraft fees got a boost on Tuesday with a win in federal court in California against Wells Fargo & Co., but that case has limited legal impact.

A similar federal court case filed in Florida against 30 banks including Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Citibank and others could mean much more.

At issue is the practice of banks processing debit payments according to their size, from largest to smallest, rather than by the timing of which transaction came first.

This drains customer bank accounts faster, causing them to pay more overdraft fees.

In the California deci-

sion, U.S. District Judge William Alsup accused Wells Fargo of â&#x20AC;&#x153;profiteeringâ&#x20AC;? by changing its policies to process checks, debit card transactions and bill payments from the highest dollar amount to the lowest. He referred to the practice as â&#x20AC;&#x153;gouging and profiteering.â&#x20AC;?

Alsup ordered Wells Fargo to stop posting transactions in highto-low order by Nov. 30 and to reverse overdraft fees charged to customers over a period of several years. The cost to the bank is estimated at about $203 million.

Wells Fargo spokeswoman Richele Messick said the bank will appeal the ruling.

Judge Alsupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have sweeping legal implications because

it was limited to a group of Wells Fargo customers in California, said Charles Delbaum, a senior staff attorney for the National Consumer Law Center.

The case in Florida, however, making similar allegations against 30 banks from plaintiffs in 14 states will have more impact if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successful.

It recently passed a major hurdle when the judge denied a motion to dismiss by the banks. The case is proceeding toward arguments to determine whether class-action status will be granted.

NCLC attorneys are cocounsel in a couple of the cases against the banks.

Lawsuits over bank overdraft fees are not new. Consumers have been challenging them in

courts for years.

Within the last decade various cases alleging violations of federal truth in lending and other laws have failed. Attorneys then turned to filing claims under state regulations, which is what happened in the California and Florida cases, Delbaum said.

Consumer advocates say the practice of processing payments in a way that causes more overdrafts is common. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely widespread and the thing thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so horrible about it is that bank regulators have known about it for years and turned the other way,â&#x20AC;? said Kathleen Day, a spokeswoman for the Center for Responsible Lending, a consumer advocacy group.

Dreading something? How to get off the dime

BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

Harvard Medical School’s Srinivasan Pillay maintains that people operate largely “in a mental environment of fear.”

Sometimes even the most disciplined people can’t make themselves do something they know that they need to do. If discipline won’t work, what will?

The problem is real, thanks to multiple demotivators in today’s workplace. Clinical and industrial-organizational psychologist Joan Pastor at JPA International Inc., in Beverly Hills and Oceanside, Calif., estimates the time people lose to fear about work at 50 percent, especially if they’re confronting multiple stressors. Manhattan psychologist Alden Cass of Competitive Streak Consulting LLC, cites the knowledge that scores of people are waiting to replace you at half your salary. This difficult environment can cause people to freeze up, even though they have the skills and experience to do the job.

SIGNS Pillay – psychiatrist, an assistant clinical professor at Harvard Medical School and CEO of Neu-

SPECIAL | WORKWISE FEATURES

Psychiatrist Srinivasan Pillay explains to a client how the brain functions in relation to work. Pillay is on the faculty at Harvard Medical School and CEO of NeuroBusiness Group LLC, in Cambridge, Mass. roBusiness Group LLC, in Cambridge, Mass. – explains what’s transpiring in his new book, “Life Unlocked: 7 Revolutionary Lessons To Overcome Fear.” He writes that neurological factors are coming into play, but you can foil them fairly easily.

First, though, he advises you to recognize the signs of impending dread. You really don’t want to go to work. Mon-

day morning comes and you’re queasy. Some of the people at the office might be all right, but others aren’t, and you can’t avoid them. You’ve plastered a fake smile on your face, “faking being enthusiastic,” he says.

Your concentration dulls.

Your feeling of dread impacts people around you.

How can you arrest these symptoms and turn yourself around emotionally?

STEPS “Life Unlocked” outlines some steps for tricking your brain by training your mind. For example: • Gain the perspective that “the burden that we feel in life is less related to the actual load of our troubles and fears than it is to the attention that we give it.” Learn how to redirect your attention.

• Develop hope by “imagin(ing) the change

so your brain can determine the route ... to your goal.” Without hope, you’re telling your brain “to go to sleep. Give permission to the brain to look for a solution.”

• Guide your brain so that it “believes that something is possible (at which point ) it will chart a path toward your goal that is radically different from the course it would chart without hope.”

• Reflect on “positive emotions (to) stimulate the consequences of positive emotions.”

Positive thoughts about a good meal or massage you’re looking forward to will make you feel better.

Reinforce change with longer-term thoughts, such as a special weekend or vacation or even the chance to leave your job down the road. Catch yourself worrying and see if you’re “avoiding the actual thing causing the worry.” All of these steps will undermine the dread that keeps you from taking action.

Pillay suggests you not analyze your problem all of the time. Instead, focus your attention on the symptom of fear you’re having, such as a sick stomach, for two or three minutes. He says this tactic ultimately makes you less fearful.

Finally, reframe your thoughts. Instead of thinking about how much you fear your boss or a lousy co-worker, think about the short period of time in which you’ll have contact.

Try doing all of these things. It won’t cost you a nickel and you might well get off the dime.

WHO’S NEWS

----

The San Francisco Giants found a new regular right fielder for the stretch run: welltraveled veteran Jose Guillen.

The Giants acquired Guillen late Friday and also receive cash considerations from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for a player to be named.

The Giants last made the playoffs in 2003.

AP

Nick Watney hits a drive on the fourth hole during the third round of the PGA Championship on Saturday at Whistling Straits in Haven, Wis. Watney carded a sizzling third-round 66 to stand 13-under and carry a 3-stroke lead into today’s final round of the season’s last major.

Say Watney at PGA SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) – Whistling Straits was there for the taking. So is this PGA Championship.

Nick Watney took over the lead Saturday with two quick birdies and never let up until he had a 6under 66, giving him a three-shot lead over Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy in a strong showing by golf’s next generation.

When three long days along Lake Michigan finally ended, the contenders were short on major experience.

Watney, who had to scramble for a bogey on the 18th hole after an aggressive play, practically seemed like an old man compared

with some of the players chasing him.

Johnson is 26, seasoned slightly by his memorable meltdown at Pebble Beach in the U.S. Open.

He found enough accuracy to go with his awesome power for a 67 to work his way into the final group in a major for the second time this year. Johnson was tied with McIlroy, the 21-year-old from Northern Ireland who also had a 67 and looks poised to deliver early on his promise of Europe’s next big star.

None of the top six on the leaderboard have ever won a major.

The last time the top six contenders were this green in the

final major of the year – “Glory’s Last Shot” – was in 1992.

As for Tiger Woods? His only hope is to shoot his best round of his strange season today and try to earn a Ryder Cup berth.

Woods scrambled brilliantly in the morning to finish off the second round with a 70 to get within five shots, then opened the third round by stuffing his first couple of iron shots. He couldn’t make a birdie, however, and had to rally for a 72 on a day when the average score was 71 in soft conditions and relative calm.

Woods wound up 10 shots behind. He likely will need to finish at least in seventh place alone to

make the Ryder Cup team.

Watney was at 13-under 203, in the lead at a major for the first time in his career after any round.

The only player among the top six not in his 20s was the biggest surprise of all – Liang Wenchong, a 32-year-old from China who set the course record at Whistling Straits with a 64. He didn’t start playing the game until he was 15.

Some of these guys already were dreaming of winning majors at that age.

Liang was at 207 along with 22year-old Jason Day of Australia, who had a 66; and 25-year-old Martin Kaymer of Germany, who has top 10s in the last two majors.

Stewart passes physical, practices with Panthers SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) – Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart participated only in position drills and watched most of the team portion of Saturday morning’s workout.

But for someone who almost never practices because of chronic pain in his left Achilles’ tendon and heel, finally passing his physical and being taken off the physically unable to perform list was a significant accomplishment for Stewart and Carolina’s struggling offense.

While he’s never missed a regular-season game in his first two NFL seasons, foot problems have kept Stewart out of every offseason workout for three years. He missed April’s minicamp, June’s optional workouts and the first 19 practices of camp.

HIT AND RUN

T

he 2010 U.S. Women’s Amateur champion will be crowned today at Charlotte Country Club.

This event gives me the perfect opportunity to reflect on local golf legend Marcy Newton capturing the U.S. Women’s Amateur crown 10 years ago.

Newton, now Marcy Hart, made us all proud with her stirring march to the 100th U.S. Women’s Amateur title at Waverley Country Club in Portland, Ore.

The former Ledford High School star and 2000 North Carolina graduate tied for fourth in the 36-hole stroke play portion of the Women’s Am, carding a 1-over 143 after rounds of 72 and 71.

In the first round of match play, Newton topped Jamie Vannoy of Carrollton, Texas 3&2.

Round two saw Marcy roll past San Francisco’s Sally Krueger for a 5&4 victory.

The third-round matchup pitted Newton against a fellow

North Carolinian – Beth Bauer of Cramerton. Marcy took that one 3&2.

In the quarterfinals, Newton slipped past Anna Temple of Berkeley, Calif., 3&1.

Marcy’s closest call came in the semifinals, where she edged Aree Wongluekiet of Bradenton, Fla. 1-up.

Newton saved her best for the championship final, blitzing Laura Myerscough of Charleston, Ill. 8 & 7.

That marked the second most

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

lopsided final since 1986 and one of the eight widest final margins in U.S. Women’s Amateur history.

Marcy, now a busy wife and mom-to-be who still calls our area home, remains one of the nicest folks I’ve had the joy of covering and working with over the years. She thrilled us all with her 2000 title run.

Thanks for the wonderful memory, Marcy.

AMERICAN TEENS REACH FINAL AT U.S. WOMEN’S AMATEUR

---

CHARLOTTE (AP) – American teenagers Danielle Kang and Jessica Korda ousted their Canadian opponents Saturday in the U.S. Women’s Amateur to advance to the final at Charlotte Country Club.

Kang, 17, edged Jennifer Kirby 1 up on the par-72, 6,559-yard course on another humid day, though with a slight dip in temperatures from earlier in the week.

Korda, also 17, defeated Stephanie Sherlock 4 & 3 to advance.

Kang, who attends Pepperdine University, was medalist in the U.S. Girls Junior in July. Korda, who intends to attend Q-school after this event, reached the quarterfinals last season in the U.S. Women’s Amateur.

The final will be 36 holes today.

In first flight, three teams show the way at 71 – Tom Smith-John Parker, Don Goins-Doug Smith and Roger Smith Sr.-Jim Shaw.

Phillip Gibson-Carlton Branson and Justin Ellis-Josh Showfety are tied atop second flight at 74.

Zambrano, Cubs nip Cards THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. LOUIS – Carlos Zambrano won for the first time since his banishment for a dugout tantrum in June, and the Chicago Cubs won for just the third time in 17 games, 3-2 over St. Louis on Saturday.

Aramis Ramirez homered after missing three games with sore ribs. Derrek Lee also hit a solo home run for Chicago.

The Cardinals had won four in a row.

Chris Carpenter (13-4) gave up three runs in six innings. He was 4-0 with a 1.79 ERA over his previous six starts.

Zambrano (4-6) allowed seven hits in 52⁄3 innings, struck out three and walked two. Carlos Marmol got the final five outs for the save, his 20th in 24 chances but his first since July 26.

St. Louis manager Tony La Russa finished up a two-game suspension for his role in a brawl Tuesday at Cincinnati.

Zambrano has had a tough year – a 5.46 ERA entering the game and a dugout blowup with Lee on June 25 that led to the Cubs placing him on the restricted list. He was solid in his return start at San Francisco on Monday, allowing two runs in five innings in a no-decision, and better Saturday.

Zambrano struck out Colby Ras-

RALEIGH (AP) – So much for the worry that there’s rust on Russell Wilson.

N.C. State’s 2008 ACC rookie of the year seems to have gotten back into a groove on the football field again after spending the summer as a farmhand with baseball’s Colorado Rockies.

“I don’t think he came in with any rust,” tight end George Bryan said Saturday.

Wolfpack fans will find out soon enough – N.C. State opens Sept. 4 against Western Carolina – if Bryan’s evaluation is accurate. If so, that figures to be good news for a program that historically has risen and fallen with their dual-threat quarterback: tough to beat when he’s both healthy and sharp, but vulnerable when he’s not.

While he was playing baseball for the Wolfpack in the spring and minor-league ball in the summer, pocket-passing backup Mike Glennon was on campus taking key snaps with the firststring offense during spring drills and developing a rapport with the Wolfpack’s receivers in the summertime.

“I think (Glennon) pushes me, but more than anything, I push myself,” Wilson said during the team’s media day.

“I’m trying to be the best quarterback on the field each and every Saturday in the country.”

Nearly two weeks into preseason camp – and with three weeks before the opener – the job ap-

pears to belong to Wilson, last year’s ACC leader with 31 touchdown passes. But with both Wilson and Glennon in the fold, it’s clear the Wolfpack have the luxury of talented depth at the position.

“If Russell didn’t have all the experience, that would be a great battle going on right now for the starting job,” coach Tom O’Brien said.

O’Brien shied away from saying Glennon definitely would play for a series or two even in a game that’s especially tight – “I don’t know, and I don’t have to make that decision right now, so (I) pass,” he quipped – but did say he wants his backup QB to at least take some snaps when possible.

“If you don’t play, you can’t be any good,” O’Brien said.

Wilson averaged nearly 300 yards passing in five wins last season compared to 218 in seven losses. During his breakout 2008, the Wolfpack played its best football with him under center and its worst when he was injured.

They fell apart after he was injured against South Carolina and in the Papajohns.com Bowl against Rutgers, and their worst performance came in the only full game he missed that year, a 41-10 loss to South Florida.

If his play during this year’s camp is any indication, the Wolfpack could be setting themselves up for their first winning season since 2005.

“He has a tremendous capacity to focus,” O’Brien said.

Deacons hold first scrimmage ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

WINSTON-SALEM – Wake Forest went through a 90-minute scrimmage Saturday afternoon at BB&T Field as the Deacons prepare for the 2010 season.

The scrimmage was the first of three scheduled for the preseason.

Quarterback Ted Stachitas led the offense to a score on the first drive.

The redshirt sophomore hit Danny Dembry on a 9-yard scoring pass for the first touchdown of the day.

Jimmy Newman kicked three field goals on the day, hitting from 38, 25 and 27 yards.

Josh Harris raced 65 yards on the first play of a drive, taking a handoff from quarterback Skylar Jones and outracing the defense down the left side of the field. Brandon Pendergrass also scored on a 5-yard run. Shane Popham converted the extra point.

Patrick Thompson directed the Dea-

con offense to the 3-yard line after a 47-yard pass completion to Jordan Williams. But a hit by Tripp Russell forced a fumble on the ensuing play, halting the drive.

Freshman quarterback Tanner Price made his debut. Price led the offense to the 21 before Newman converted a 38-yard field goal.

Harris led all rushers with 76 yards on five carries. Jones had 44 yards on 10 carries, while quarterback Patrick Thompson had 29 yards on seven rushing attempts. Price led all quarterbacks in both attempts and completions, connecting on eight of 13 throws for 82 yards. Stachitas completed five of eight attempts for a team-high 95 yards. Jones was four-for-seven for 27 yards, and Brendan Cross was two-forthree for 16 yards. Devon Brown led the receivers with four catches for 69 yards. Marshall Williams had a teambest 79 yards on three receptions.

mus three times and cooled off one of baseball’s hottest teams – St. Louis had scored at least four runs every game this month and was hitting .306 for August coming into the game.

Not that it was surprising – Zambrano is 5-0 lifetime at Busch Stadium.

Carpenter is certainly used to the stifling St. Louis heat and humidity of a St. Louis summer, but seemed to struggle on a 93-degree day with a heat index of 107 degrees. TV showed him in the dugout after the third inning with a wet towel draped over his head.

The two Cardinals aces – Carpenter and Adam Wainwright – were a combined 20-2 at Busch Stadium this season. Carpenter was 9-2 with a 2.75 ERA at home before Saturday. He allowed six hits, struck out three and walked none.

RAYS 7, ORIOLES 3 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Kelly Shoppach hit his second career grand slam and a solo homer Saturday, leading the Tampa Bay Rays to a 7-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.

Trailing 3-0 in the fourth, Sean Rodriguez had an RBI double before Shoppach hit his slam to make it 5-3. Shoppach’s solo shot in the eighth was just his third extra-base hit since June 30.

Childress takes second shot at expansion in 2011

AP

Brad Keselowski celebrates in the winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circle after winning the NASCAR Nationwide Series Carfax 250 at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich., on Saturday.

Keselowski prevails at Michigan BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A bum clutch didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trip up Brad Keselowski. Neither did racing in close proximity with nemesis Carl Edwards.

Keselowski managed to make it through pit stops despite mechanical problems, then grabbed the lead on a restart with eight laps to go and pulled away to win the NASCAR Nationwide race at Michigan International Speedway on Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The clutch issue was something I was really nervous about,â&#x20AC;? said Keselowski, a Michigan native who also won last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nationwide race here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if that was going to cost us the race.

I tried to be cool about that, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to get upset.â&#x20AC;?

Edwards finished second, barely edging out a charging Kyle Busch.

Edwards and Keselowski raced side-to-side for a large portion of the race without incident. Both drivers are on probation for a highprofile confrontation at Gateway International Raceway last month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like both of us are probably thinking the same thing, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the guy that messes this up,â&#x20AC;? Edwards said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But he raced me very cleanly, I thought we raced very well together, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of racing that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure both of us want to be doing.â&#x20AC;?

Bodine proves experience wins at Darlington DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Todd Bodine led the final 47 laps at Darlington Raceway to take his second straight victory in NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truck series.

Bodine held off pole-sitter Timothy Peters through two restarts Saturday night to win in the Camping World Truck Seriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first appearance at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lady in Blackâ&#x20AC;? in six years. Ron Hornaday Jr. took third, followed by Johnny Sauter and Austin Dillon.

Bodine, the only one in the field with a Darlington victory, proved thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing more important here than experience. Bodine won a Nationwide Series race at Darlington in 2003, sliding over the finish line after a last-lap tangle with Jamie McMurray. Bodine lengthened his series points lead over Aric Almirola.

Look for a full-field rundown in Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edition of The High Point Enterprise.

Michigan set for two regular-season dates in 2011 BROOKLYN, Mich.

(AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With NASCAR still sorting out the final details of its 2011 schedule, Michigan International Speedway president Roger Curtis says the track will continue to host two regular-season races next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all set for 2011,â&#x20AC;?

he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was talk about doing a Chase race.

It was very cool sounding to be in the Chase. It was neat thinking weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be a good fit. But the more I thought about it for our fans and the number of campers we have, with school starting back up, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many

would come back. There was never any discussion about taking us down to one race.â&#x20AC;?

Atlanta Motor Speedway and Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., both are going from hosting two annual NASCAR races to only one next season.

Meanwhile, it was another rough day at the racetrack for Danica Patrick, who went down a lap to the leaders early on and struggled to a 27th-place finish.

Patrick said her car was extremely loose early on â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t crash,â&#x20AC;? she remembered thinking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the team got a handle on the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handling late in the race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we could have started the race the way we finished it, it would have been a very different story,â&#x20AC;?

Patrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all right. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all part of it.â&#x20AC;?

Justin Allgaier was fourth, followed by Paul Menard. Driver Robert Richardson Jr. was transported to a local hospital with an undisclosed medical issue after a crash.

It was the fourth Nationwide victory of the season and 10th of his career for Keselowski, who holds a dominant 347-point lead in the series standings.

Keselowski won despite clutch issues that gave him problems during pit stops â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and during an attempt at a post-race victory burnout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an issue on the burnout,â&#x20AC;?

Keselowski joked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that was the most frustrating part.â&#x20AC;?

Edwards was hoping he could â&#x20AC;&#x153;stealâ&#x20AC;? a victory, but acknowledged the best car won the race.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brad was able to just launch out front on that last run,â&#x20AC;? Edwards said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just a battle for second then, and it was a pretty good battle. I had a pretty good time racing there that last lap.â&#x20AC;?

It was the second race for NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next-generation Nationwide car, which made its debut at Daytona. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it raced well,â&#x20AC;? Edwards said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the safety improvements are good. The only thing I would wish for is just less downforce, more horsepower.â&#x20AC;?

Keselowski said Edwards congratulated him in victory lane and downplayed the rivalry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes, cars just run into each other,â&#x20AC;? Keselowski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was the recipe for the same cake today, and it just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get baked.â&#x20AC;?

Keselowski dominated the first half of the race, at one point holding a lead of more than 11 seconds.

But his clutch acted up on a pit stop near the raceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s halfway point, causing him to lose the lead to Menard.

Edwards took the lead on lap 77, with Keselowski on his tail as Menard slipped to third. After some close racing through slower traffic, Keselowski then went back to the lead with 40 laps to go.

BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Richard Childress Racing got better when it got smaller, shrinking from four teams to three in the offseason. So it stands to reason that Childress might think twice before taking another shot at expanding his team.

Of course, the possibility of landing driver Paul Menard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and his lucrative family sponsorship â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can be very convincing.

Childress announced this week that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll field a fourth car for Menard next season, with the car number and crew chief to be determined. And Childress expects it to work much better than last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do this team completely different than we did that one,â&#x20AC;? Childress said.

It could be a risky move for Childress, given the fact that his team suddenly reclaimed its status as one of NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best after it went from four cars to three.

Going into todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race at Michigan International Speedway, Childress driver Kevin Harvick is leading the Sprint Cup series points standings and teammate Jeff Burton is third. Clint Bowyer is 13th, 10 points out of the final Chase-eligible spot.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dramatic turnaround from 2009, when Childress fielded four cars and none made the Chase.

When Childress eliminated the fourth car driven

by Casey Mears, the best crew members from that team were absorbed into the other three teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been a proponent for, ever since I have been at RCR, to expand to four teams,â&#x20AC;? Burton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And even last year, when we had the fourth team and we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t running well, It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the fault of the fourth team. Now, I will tell you when we went from four to three, we got strong because we took the very best people and made three. So what that means is, when we do four, we have got to go get the very best people to create four. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take from the three that we have to make four, we have to expand to four.â&#x20AC;?

If done correctly, Burton said an expansion could make the team even stronger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do four teams right. We did four teams wrong,â&#x20AC;? Burton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This time (we have) a clear picture of what we did wrong and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to make sure we learned that and that is what Richard is committed to. I would not have supported a fourth team if we were doing it just to hire enough people to run the fourth team.â&#x20AC;?

Childress said his team is better organized with stronger engine and engineering programs, putting it in better position to expand. RCR also appears to be in good shape off the track. Childress said he expects to announce a sponsorship deal for Harvick next week, eliminating one of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest concerns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that is the biggest thing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about people,â&#x20AC;? Childress said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we put together the people to make this thing really work and to have a fourth team be competitive as well.â&#x20AC;?

Burton doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Childress will skimp when it comes to resources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are going to have more funding and you are going to have more stuff, you have to build a team that is stronger,â&#x20AC;? Burton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to build a company that is stronger. There has to be a benefit of having a fourth team. If you have a fourth team just to employ the people that work on the fourth team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expand engineering, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expand aerodynamics, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expand engine (research and development) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expand all the things that are required to be fast in this sport today, then you have done yourself a disservice.â&#x20AC;?

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll certainly have more funding, courtesy the Menard familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wisconsin-based home improvement company. Menardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, John Menard Jr., has a net worth of $5.5 billion according to Forbes magazine.

But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mixed blessing for Menard, who will need better finishes to fend off the perception that he only has a ride because he has money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paul does the job on the racetrack,â&#x20AC;? Childress said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that he loves to do and a passion. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got the sponsor that comes along.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got the drive to go out and race hard.â&#x20AC;?

two goals to help Wesleyan Christian blast Covenant Day 5-0 in a match that ended late Friday night.

Brent Bronico, Matt Rickman and Daniel Mallard also scored for the Trojans (2-0). Bronico also had

U.S. shows speed, shooting in scrimmage NEW YORK (AP) – Short on size, the United States showed off a surplus of speed.

Danny Granger scored 22 points and the Americans sprinted past China 98-51 in a scrimmage Saturday at Madison Square Garden.

On a day they gave their strongest hint yet that they’re prepared to take only one center to the world championships, the Americans were credited with a 32-4 advan-

tage in fast-break points.

“We’re the fastest team, I think, in the world, so we’ve got to use that to our advantage,” Philadelphia’s Andre Iguodala said.

Eric Gordon strengthened his case for a spot on the team with 15 points, while Kevin Durant added 14 and Derrick Rose had 12.

Among those in attendance was Kobe Bryant, who was on the gold medal-winning team in 2008.

Granger, showing no effects from a dislocated ring finger on his shooting hand, was 9 of 12 from the field and made three 3-pointers.

Gordon made three of the Americans’ 11 3-pointers.

Though he’s been considered on the bubble to make the final roster, he’s played well in U.S. game action and supplies some of the outside shooting a perimeter-oriented team needs.

Panthers QBs confident despite lack of points SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) – Matt Moore looked poised despite getting knocked around. Jimmy Clausen gained confidence in his NFL debut despite constant pressure.

Now if Carolina’s quarterbacks could just get some protection and put the Panthers in the end zone.

The first game in the post-Jake Delhomme era provided a mixed bag for the new crew of arms on Thursday night. Moore was hit, fumbled and the victim of penalties, while Clausen had little time to throw and had a drive end with a turnover at the goal line.

Third-stringer Hunter Cantwell was hurt by dropped passes and protection trouble, too, in Baltimore’s 17-12 victory that produced no offensive touchdowns for Carolina.

“I think all three quarterbacks did a good job – when they had time to pass,” coach John Fox said.

The Panthers returned here late Friday for the last week of training camp happy about the surprising pressure they got from their revamped defensive line, but trying to sort out problems from what was supposed to be their strength, the offensive line.

Carolina allowed seven sacks and the line was responsible for six penalties as it faced constant blitzing by the Ravens’ potent defense.

“There are no worries whatsoever,” Moore said.

“Those things are going to happen. We’ll watch the tape and get those things fixed.”

Moore brought flashbacks to Delhomme’s turnover-plagued 2009 when he never saw safety Tom Zbikowski go unblocked on a blitz and fumbled after getting sacked from the blind side. The Panthers recovered but were forced to punt.

Moore was 4 of 7 for 32 yards and had a passer rating of 68.8. In three first-quarter possessions with Moore, the Panthers produced three first downs and no points. They were once knocked out of field goal range when a long pass to Dwayne Jarrett was wiped out by left tackle Jordan Gross’ holding penalty.

Gross, in his first game since breaking his leg late last season, was called for two holding calls and a false start penalty. Duke Robinson struggled with pass protection in the snaps he got at right guard, too.

The much anticipated debut by Clausen was largely a success. The former Notre Dame star took over in the second quarter against Baltimore’s second-string defense and appeared relaxed. He was in command of the offense despite often being flushed out of the pocket and sacked twice.

PANTHERS SIGN HARRIS FOR LB DEPTH

---

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) – The Carolina Panthers have signed former Buffalo linebacker Nic Harris to add depth after numerous injuries at the position.

The Panthers made room on the 80-man roster Saturday by waiving injured offensive lineman Steve Justice.

Already without linebacker Thomas Davis, who tore a knee ligament in June, the Panthers practiced Saturday morning without Jamar Williams (shoulder), Jordan Senn (shoulder) and Quinton Culberson (thigh).

Harris was the Bills’ fifth-round pick in 2009 and played in 15 games last season. The former Oklahoma safety was waived in July after failing his physical due to injury.

The former Wake Forest center Justice was far down the depth chart and missed practice Saturday morning with a sore back.

CALENDAR, DRAG BOATS, NFL THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, AUGUST 15, 2010 www.hpe.com

High Point boat drag champ leaves quite a legacy J ohn Haas enjoyed coming to High Point and racing on Oak Hollow Lake.

It was one of his favorite stops on the drag boat racing circuit because in 1993, he became certified to race in the featured Top Fuel Hydro class and won here all in the same meet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll always hold a special place for High Point,â&#x20AC;?

Haas said during last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thunder at Oak Hollow weekend.

Haas won here again last month, a triumph SPORTS that he said was his fifth High Point victory. Turns Greer out it was his last in drag Smith boat racingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big league. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; Haas was killed in what was described as a horrible crash at the end of a qualifying run last weekend at the Mid-Summer Nationals in Chateau, Oklahoma.

In the drag boat world, his death was as huge as Dale Earnhardtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death in NASCAR or Ayrton Sennaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fatal accident in Formula One. Haas was the best in his sport, having won the tourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship four of the past five years and five times total. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a championship racer,â&#x20AC;? said Troy Powell, the president of the High Point Jaycees, who revived the Oak Hollow race as a fund-raising project for the organization last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His death in a shock.â&#x20AC;?

A 55-year-old grandfather from Michigan, Haas was in his 32nd year of racing boats. In my few encounters with him, he was friendly and had a calm demeanor.

He was well aware of the risks, saying that â&#x20AC;&#x153;anytime you come back from a run it is a good oneâ&#x20AC;? when talking about a near-crash in June at San Angelo, Texas. Even though he had been racing for three decades, he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grown tired of the sport and had no plans to quit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m physically able to do it, I will,â&#x20AC;? he said.

He said he continued to race because he like to go fast and said that he would like to give Top Fuel drag racing on land a shot but joked that â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a chance because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not one those pretty boys who the sponsors like.â&#x20AC;?

Voicing a widely held opinion among those on the drag boat circuit, Haas said he looked forward to racing at Oak Hollow because of its surface remains smooth without outside interference, unlike venues that are on open rivers with strong currents and waves.

It was a wave in the Grand River that sent Haas out of control, Lou Osman, the owner of the Haasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; boat, told the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes you drive through it,â&#x20AC;?

Osman told the paper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This time, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;?

Osman said the boat began tumbling and broke apart. He estimated the

driver capsule was ejected 20-30 feet in the air and hit the water upside-down, rear part first. Authorities said Haas died of massive internal injuries.

A private funeral service for the family was held Haas Wednesday and a memorial service for the racing community is scheduled at Haasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home in Allegan, Mich., on Sept. 11. He was survived by his wife, two sons and his mother.

Operating just like NASCAR, the drag boat tour didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break because of the death or the fact that Haasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wreck marked the worst of three serious crashes in four meets, the lone exception coming at Oak Hollow. The tour was back in action Saturday with an event at Marble Fall, Texas, where eliminations are scheduled today.

The other wrecks left one driver with a broken back and another with a broken leg.

The show will go on in High Point next year, also. Powell said the Jaycees are in the midst of a 3-to-5 year shortterm plan in which they hope to take the majority of the financial risk from Lucas Oil, the series sponsor which served as the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promoter this year.

He has already reserved the lake for the last weekend in July next year and is to have a planning meeting with tour officials next month. Powell said the recent rash of accidents would not be cause for giving up on the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like NASCAR,â&#x20AC;? Powell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The danger and what can happen is part of the sport. It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t influence our decision to have it.â&#x20AC;?

Powell said he took steps to make the event safer for spectators this year by increasing the buffer between the crowd and lake from the required 10 feet to almost 30 feet.

Powell plans for the show to continue in High Point despite a drop in attendance from the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revival with a different sanctioning in 2009. He said Lucas Oil officials estimated the crowd for the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three days at 3,000-5,000, far less than the 5,000-8,000 for which officials had hoped, and blamed the decrease on temperatures in the upper 90s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People remember the days when the boat drags had big crowds but that came from building it up over 28 years,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took some time to build up the crowd. And, I still think we have people who think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still having the circle boat races (which folded after events in 2007 and 2008).â&#x20AC;?

In his long range plans for the Jaycees, Powell wants the boat drags to continue for at least 10 years. John Haas would have loved to be a part of it. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Redskins get confident, start with preseason win WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Even Albert Haynesworth had a few upbeat things to say after the Washington Redskinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first preseason game.

Then again, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to be a sourpuss after a 42-17 victory. Although it was only a preseason match using simplified schemes against a banged-up team, Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over the Buffalo Bills helps reinforce the feeling that new coach Mike Shanahan has the team headed in the right direction after last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4-12 record under Jim Zorn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know a lot of people will say it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean anything,â&#x20AC;? center Casey Rabach said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing what it does to your confidence. We went out there and put 42 points on an NFL team. The points feel good. We all have confidence in this offense and defense.

To do what we did just kind of solidifies that confidence and we can build on it.â&#x20AC;?

Both offense and defense settled down after some first-series jitters. Donovan

McNabb led a touchdown drive in his Redskins debut, and youngsters Brandon Banks, Anthony Armstrong and Ryan Torain were among those who made solid opening statements in the battles for roster spots.

Then there was Haynesworth, who took his spot with the second-stringers for two series to play nose tackle in a 34 defense â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something he spent months desperately trying to avoid.

As it turns out, the big fellow doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to mind the 3-4 after all, at least not the version being taught to him by defensive coordinator Jim Haslett.

The last time the Redskins had such as impressive start to preseason was in 2002, when Steve Spurrier turned the franchise into an August juggernaut by scoring 38, 37, 35 and 40 points in his first four games. Those wins turned out to be the highlight of the Spurrier era: The Redskins never scored more than 33 points in a regular season game in his two losing seasons as coach.

Gross too excited in return from broken leg SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Carolina Panthers left tackle Jordan Gross blames his penalty-filled preseason debut on overexuberance.

In his first action since breaking his leg in November, the 2008 Pro Bowl selection was called for a false start penalty and two holding calls

in Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 17-12 loss at Baltimore Thursday.

The second holding penalty wiped out a long pass to Dwayne Jarrett and knocked Carolina out of field goal range. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been looking forward to getting back for eight months,â&#x20AC;? Gross said Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pretty excited and eager, and you

can always learn something new. I think I was a little too aggressive the other night, and it worked out the way it did.â&#x20AC;?

The Panthers had trouble with pass protection all night, something coach John Fox blamed partially on not gameplanning for Baltimoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complex blitzing scheme.

Adventure in the Land of the Noonday Sun T

he end is the most important part of the story.

When I write a story, I almost always plan the end before I decide the beginning or middle.

Unfortunately, you just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan the end of a trip.

When I squatted down to silhouette my grandson Phoenixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surging fishing rod against the pale, night sky, I knew we had a good ending provided we could land whatever sizeable fish that was putting the bow in his rod and making his reel sing.

We hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a good ending to the last two of these summer getaway trips and we were due a good one. Every year since he was seven, Phoenix and I have taken a summer trip to celebrate the end of the school year, the summer, and his upcoming birthday. The last two had been washed out by rains that SPORTS dampened our enthusiasm and shut down our plans. This year was differDick ent.

Jones Part of growing up is testing yourself. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; At 13, Phoenix is at that age when everything changes. On our early trips we played in the sand on the Outer Banks, fished, kayaked, prospected gems, and biked. None of these is really a test. Climbing into an inflatable raft and launching yourself into a maelstrom of white water is a test. Putting on a harness, attaching yourself to a steel cable, and jumping off a platform a couple dozen feet up in a tree is a real test.

We chose Nantahala as our rite of passage testing ground; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an appropriate choice when you learn a little about the area thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best known for its Cherokee and pioneer heritage and, in more recent years, as a playground for daredevil outdoor sports like whitewater kayaking, rock climbing and mountain biking. For an outfitter, we chose Wildwater Ltd. The second largest outfitters in the area, Wildwater has a Zipline canopy tour, jeep rides, as Phoenix well as canoeing, kayaking, rafting.

Phoenix and I arrived at Turkey Creek Campground on Wednesday afternoon. We set up camp and hiked down the trail to the tail-waters of Fontana Lake. We make friends easily and Huey, the campground dog, served as our guide. Huey would stay just far ahead of us that we could keep us in sight, from time to time stopping and looking back to make sure we were still behind him. Once we were there, we wished weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d brought our swim trunks because the water was refreshing and clear. Huey entertained himself by taking a swim and chasing rocks and sticks Phoenix tossed into the water. We agreed, next time, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll swim in the lake. Or better yet, maybe next time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll plan enough time to kayak and swim the lake.

On Thursday morning, the plan was to raft the eight-mile stretch of the Nantahala that draws thousands of rafters and whitewater enthusiasts from all over the country to the gorge. Our guide for the trip was Tim McGee, a clean cut young man whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been guiding on the Nantahala for nine years. Tim is a classic outdoor enthusiast, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backpacked and rafted all over the United States and when he has his graduate degree next year, plans to have his own outfitting business.

The water of the Nantahala is cold, normally 46 degrees in summer, and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to take a dip.

Phoenix and I listened carefully in the trip briefing and suited up. We both had a lot of kayak time and I had a lot of river time but white water rafting is a team sport. There were six of us in the raft and, after a couple of exercises to make sure we could paddle in unison, we were off.

One feature of the cold water is the affect it has on the air over the river. Even on the hottest days, the cold water chills the air along the river and pockets of cold air mix with warm summer air. The temperature also creates a unique mist that hangs over the river almost all the time, giving it a primordial, mysterious air.

White water rafting is considered an extreme sport, but the Nantahalaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular eight-mile stretch is rough enough to be exciting but not rough enough that a reasonably firm person would have trouble.

The really unique thing about this stretch of river is that at no time were we more than 50 yards from the highway and access by an emergency responder.

While you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice the road, it was there.

The other extreme sport we sampled was zip lining.

Ziplines are cables stretched from platforms and in the case of Nantahala Canopy Tours, there are 13 lines ranging from about 50 yards to well over 200 yards. You hook a trolley (a little set of wheels with a hook) to the cable, hook up the safety lines and go.

Phoenix and I agreed the Zipline was the most exciting part of the trip. Not only was the travel down the line exciting, the scenery while floating through the forest is amazing.

Our guides for the Zipline were Josh Hamsher from Iowa and Randall Coleman from Travelers Rest, South Carolina. The guys took care of us, instilled confidence in the nervous members or our group, and treated everyone like we were old friends. By the end of the trip, everyone knew each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s names.

We decided the Zipline was more strenuous than the rafting trip, but certainly something most folks could do. At least a part of the excitement was walking the creative bridges and platforms that link the ziplines.

We always cover something educational on our trips and I think this was the most exciting educational segment of our past excursions. We watched

Dustin Raxter, Trout Fishing Guide, 828 479 3503 Wildwater Rafting and Nantahala Canopy Tours, www.wildwaterrafting.com Occonolufti Indian Village and Unto These Hills, www.cherokee-nc.com Turkey Creek Campground, www.turkey-creek.com

the outdoor drama, Unto These Hills the evening after our rafting trip. While we were tired, the play was riveting to the point, I never even thought of being sleepy. Not only was it entertaining, it was educational. I learned several things about the nature of the Cherokee tribe and the difficulties they went through.

After our zipline tour, we visited the Oconolufte Indian Village next to the Unto These Hills Amphitheater. The tour of a replica of a pre-Columbus Cherokee village was as entertaining as the play and our tour guide was the actor who had played Seneca, the War Chief of the Cherokee, in the play. We learned about Cherokee customs, farming and trading practices, family life, and methods of government.

By the time we walked down through the woods to the river for our fishing trip on Friday afternoon, I figured Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be too tired to fish long. Within a few minutes, both Phoenix and I had caught a trout and our guide, Dustin Raxter, promised more and bigger fish to come. I can always be tempted by the chance of a big fish and, in spite of the fact Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d forgotten my lighter and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enjoy the cigar Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d brought, I was ready to hang in there. We fished with spinning gear in a method peculiar to the Nantahala area. Dustin would tie on six or eight or his beautiful, hand tied flies spaced six to ten inches apart. The extreme end of the line was tied to a bubble float which would allow us to cast and keep the flies high in the water.

To the fish, it looked like a miniature hatch was happening. The fish would attack the flies on the surface, often jumping over the fly in an attempt to eat it. As we advanced up the river, we picked trout out of holes and along cutbanks. Dustin had promised he find us a limit of fish, and we were getting close as the light faded.

The Nantahala was enchanting in the fading light

as the water flow gradually changed from a surging river to a quiet stream as it does every day. The roar of the earlier river was now replaced with the quiet tinkling of the icy water and the mist hung over the water in a cold layer of fog.

By the time I heard Phoenix reel singing, it was almost pitch dark. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d forgotten my flashlight as well as my lighter, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to see to know Phoenix had a substantial fish. We were fishing ultralights with six pound line but I knew Phoenix knew how to fight large fish. This fish was so strong, I considered asking Dustin if it might be something besides a trout, maybe a big carp or catfish but after several minutes of fight, Dustin got his light on the fish and we got to see it.

It was indeed a trout, and, at four pounds, it was a trophy trout. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who was most excited, Dustin, Phoenix, or me. Phoenix was excited because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d caught a big beautiful fish, Dustin was excited because the big fish and limit of trout heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d promised were now in the creel, and I was excited because this was the perfect ending to what my grandson and I agreed was our best summer trip ever.

On the ride back, I asked Phoenix which was the best part of the trip. We discussed the merits of the rafting trip, the Zipline, the drama, the Indian village, and the fishing trip. My grandson often makes me proud, but my chest swelled when he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know Papa, I think the best part of the trip was all the friends we made.â&#x20AC;?

I think that boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to do just fine.

Back to school ...with a plan Professionals say organization will help children get off to a good start

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – There’s probably a million things to remember on the first morning of the school year.

Pulling the kids out of bed.

Packing lunches. Finding book bags. Selecting outfits.

And if you wait until the night before to get back into that daily routine, professional organizers say you’re probably starting off the year on the wrong foot. Instead, they offer these tips that can ensure success for the year and, they hope, teach children some responsibility along the way.

Getting behind at the beginning of the year almost guarantees poor academic performance and strained relationships between parents and children, said Keri Scott, organizer, design consultant and owner of Once Upon A Clutter in High Point. Scott recommends creating an organizational chart that identifies daily responsibilities so kids won’t have to wonder what they’re supposed to be doing each morning. And include

them in the making of the chart, she said.

“An organizational chart helps create accountability and sets a pace for the day,” Scott said. “You have to set rules early on. This can also be a fun activity to do with your child and may identify areas of strength and weakness.”

Other items can support the creation of a daily routine, according to Alli McVann, organizer and owner of Allicadabra. For example, homework should be done in one place so that stray papers aren’t scattered through the house, she said. She also suggests organizing homework and other papers by using a shoe organizer that hangs over the door. Label the columns by days of the week, and place all of the papers needed for Monday in its designated pocket, she said.

“That way no one is ever crying that they don’t know where their social studies paper is, because it’s always in the same spot,” she said. “I always did my homework in the same place and never wondered where it was. I appreciate that now.”

Cynthia Green, third-grade teacher at Johnson Street Global Studies, teaches her class. Johnson Street started school on Aug 4.

Stations for book bags, coats and lunch boxes also should be established, Scott said.

Once the routine is established, start the new schedule at least a week in advance. Trying it out several times before the first morning of school will allow kids to get used to the

routine, but it also will allow parents to correct any problems with the routine, Scott said.

“Don’t be surprised if the first couple of practice runs are a race against the clock,” she said. “But stay diligent. After a

The American Heart Association defines heart failure as a condition in which the heart is not pumping as well as it should.

“Your body depends on the heart’s pumping action to deliver oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood to the body’s cells,” explains the American Heart Association. “When the cells are nourished properly, the body can function normally.”

Without a fully functioning heart, which provides your body’s cells with enough blood, everyday activities such as walking and carrying groceries can become a struggle.

On Sept. 27, cardiologist Malkiat Dhatt of Carolina Cardiology Associates will be discussing the risk factors, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of congestive heart failure during his “Heart Failure Epidemic” seminar at Randolph Hospital.

Participants will develop a better understanding of how heart failure contributes to heart disease, which is the leading cause of death in the United States according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Learn more about what you can do to prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases at Dhatt’s “Heart Failure Epidemic” seminar. The seminar will be held at Randolph Hospital. To register or learn more, call (336) 633-7788 or visit www.randolph hospital.org and click on the “Events” tab.

Nagging over grandkids jeopardizes marriage D

ear Abby: My childhood was difficult. My mother was a bitter, unforgiving, jealous woman. My father traveled a lot for his business and just tolerated my mother when he was home. I decided never to have children to bring into this family.

When I first met Dave – my husband of 10 years – I told him my feelings. He said it was fine with him – he never had a strong desire to be a father. Until recently, our marriage has been a happy one.

After constant nagging by my mother about “When are you going to give me grandkids?” I lied and said that Dave had a low sperm count and we wouldn’t be having any. Now Dave is no longer invited to their home for monthly Sunday dinners.

Mother is suggesting I divorce Dave and marry “someone who can give her grandchildren.” Dave says that because he is “uninvited” I shouldn’t go either. My father sides with my mother and says she’s a lonely person. He says he will change his will if I upset Mom by not visiting.

Abby, this has caused a real strain

on our marriage. Please help. – Nobody’s Mama in California Dear Nobody’s Mama: I’ll try. The success of a marriage is not measured by the ability ADVICE to produce grandchildren. If you hadn’t lied Dear to your mother, she Abby wouldn’t be blaming ■■■ your husband for the fact that she doesn’t have any. Tell her the real reason why you won’t be having children, and how she influenced that decision. Her treatment of your husband and her meddling in your marriage are outrageous.

Tell your father to keep his money, and if your mother is “lonely” it’s HIS job to fill her empty hours. If you allow your parents to continue to manipulate you, you will find yourself alone.

Dear Abby: My best friend, “Nancy,” is wonderful, generous and kind to

everyone except her husband, “Ted.” She belittles, yells and embarrasses him constantly.

Nancy has suggested that my boyfriend and I take a vacation with them, but I can’t stand hearing her constant criticism. Just having dinner with them is painful enough.

Ted is a nice guy who tries hard to please Nancy, but he can’t seem to do anything right in her eyes. Is there anything I can do or say to Nancy without offending her or sticking my nose where it doesn’t belong? – Embarrassed in Virginia Dear Embarrassed: As I see it, you have two choices. Keep dodging your friend’s efforts to arrange a joint vacation, which will wear thin after a while. Or, have a frank chat with her. Tell her – as gently as possible – that she may not realize how uncomfortable she makes others when they must witness her constant bickering with her husband, and until they mend fences, you and your boyfriend will be unavailable for vacations.

Dear Abby: An old friend I’ll call “Bud” used to take my ex-husband and me out for dinner and drinks. About 15 years ago, he met a woman. She moved in with him and then they got married.

They have been married a long time now and I hardly get to see or talk to Bud. I am now divorced. I have always had “feelings” for this man, and I want what Bud’s wife has: She has a new car, a beautiful home, he has a new truck, they both work and seem to have everything.

I don’t love Bud, but I know him from way back and I want to break them up. Can you give me any advice on how to? – Losing Out in Ringfield, Mo. Dear Losing Out: You must not be a frequent reader of my column. In a case like this, I think I’ll take a pass.

Statue of Liberty to get new staircase

Sunday, August 15, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Joe Jonas, 21; Ben Affleck, 38; Debra Messing, 42; Linda Ellerbee, 66 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Stand up for your rights and refuse to back down to anyone this year. Smart, forward-thinking and adaptable, diverse action will be required.

You will be in a perfect position to impress the people you are dealing with. There is no time to rest or to ponder over what you are going to do next. Your numbers are 2, 10, 18, 27, 30, 33, 48 ARIES (March 21-April 19): There is money to be made. Send out your resume or offer to help someone you would like to work with in the future.

Take an honest look at your personal life. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may want to lend a helping hand but don’t set yourself up to be taken advantage of. Know where and when to draw the line. The more time spent taking care of your needs, the better you will feel. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may be impressed by what others do and say but have a little confidence in yourself and your abilities. You have just as much to offer as anyone else.

Love is in the stars, so express the way you feel. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Listen carefully so you can detect lies from the truth. Do your homework. You don’t want to let anyone take advantage of you, especially those you are close to. Problems at home will lead to uncertainty and changes that are not easy to undo. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Travel should be on your agenda. No matter how far or near, the experience you gain will lead to greater knowledge and insight into others as well as yourself. Someone you want to impress will take an interest in your activities. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take a closer look at your personal financial situation to see what you can do to make your dollars stretch further.

A problem with someone from your

past is likely to surface. Be precise and you can control whatever situation you face. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Not everything will be readily available or easy to see. So much is riding on the decisions you make but, if you jump too quickly, you will probably have to backtrack. It’s better to be safe rather than first. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You know what you want, so ask for it.

There is nothing unattainable if you put in the effort. You don’t have to spend to get ahead, but you do need to put in the time. Keep your emotions in check. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A little adventure can be expected if you mingle with people who are new to you or who come from different backgrounds. Your status can change quickly by an offer or commitment you make. Don’t worry about opposition. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Stick close to home. Problems while traveling or dealing with groups, organizations or authority figures can be expected. Do your research before getting into a financial agreement.

Please family and you will be rewarded. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Emotional upset will stifle your chance of clearing an unfortunate situation with a friend or neighbor.

Focus on your financial situation and your physical well-being. Someone you love will be able to relieve you of a burden. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can form a partnership with someone interested in the same project you are.

A discussion with someone you respect will change your way of thinking.

NEW YORK (AP) – A set of 354 narrow steps spirals all the way up to the Statue of Liberty’s crown, and it’s the only escape route for tourists in an emergency.

On a recent summer day, one tourist put his hands on his knees and gasped for air as a few others funneled down the tightly twisting staircase to the statue’s pedestal.

They were covered in sweat.

“It was hot up there,” said Lucie Munier, visiting from France. “I think I would be scared in an emergency, but it is already pretty scary even when it is calm.”

When a smoke alarm tripped inside the statue last month, hundreds of tourists were rushed down the equivalent of about 15 flights of stairs – the same ones that firefighters would need to trudge up if the 125-yearold landmark catches fire.

National Park Service officials have closed the statue in recent years for a $20 million security upgrade, and kept the crown shut since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks until last year to improve its fire safety. Next year, the statue will close again, for nine months to a year, so workers can

build a second stairwell at Lady Liberty’s pedestal, said National Parks Service spokesman Darren Boch.

“Given its age and the fact that it is a historic structure and there’s not much we can do to change it, it’s just not going to be 100 percent in line” with the most up-to-date safety standards, Boch said.

Most tourists, 3,000 maximum per day, ascend the first 186 steps from the ground up to the pedestal. No more than 10 people at a time are allowed all the way up to the crown, in part so they can be quickly evacuated if necessary.

Overwrought Kids should be independent arteries cause before leaving for college Raynaudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Q D

ear Dr. Donohue: I have Raynaudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phenomenon. Will you tell me something about it, and if it is curable? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; R.M.

Raynaudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (rayNODES) phenomenon is an example of one of the few times when the body overacts. Exposure to cold makes arteries constrict to save body heat, a normal and useful reaction. When people with Raynaudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expose their hands (or feet) to cold, their hand arteries go overboard.

They clamp down so tightly that no blood flows to the fingers.

The fingers turn white.

After a while, the fingers become blue when all oxygen has left the blood trapped in them after the constriction. As soon as the arteries relax, a rush of blood into the fingers turns them red.

The entire event is quite painful. Emotional stress is another trigger for an attack.

In some people, Raynaudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s indicates that there is a background illness causing it. An example is rheumatoid arthritis. This kind of Raynaudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is secondary Raynaudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, secondary to the background illness.

You can end an attack by promptly warming your hands. Putting your hands in warm water stops the process.

If warm water isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available, then swing your arms in a windmill motion to drive blood back into the fingers.

Prevention is key.

During summer months, attacks are limited to times when the hands are put into cold places, like the refrigerator or an overly air-conditioned store or movie theater. Wear mittens before entering such places or reaching into the refrigerator.

Should attacks of Raynaudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come repeatedly, medicines can stave them off. Nifedipine keeps them at bay, as does nitroglycerin, the medicine used for the chest pain of angina.

It comes as an ointment that can be applied to the fingers. There is no cure.

Dear Dr. Donohue: You recently wrote about endometriosis.

Will you write about adenomyosis, a cousin of endometriosis? Many have not heard of it

HEALTH

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this included myself.

It causes lots of problems for lots of women. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; G.S.

Dr. Paul Donohue

Adenomyosis â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; qualifies as a relative of endometriosis because it has two things in common with it. Both have to do with the uterus. And both have to do with uterine lining tissue.

In endometriosis, the uterine lining is found in places outside the uterus, most often in and on pelvic structures.

In adenomyosis, the lining of the uterus invades its muscular wall.

Resulting symptoms are heavy menstrual bleeding, painful periods and possibly painful intercourse. The uterus enlarges and makes both patient and doctor believe that pregnancy has occurred.

If the diagnosis of adenomyosis is in doubt, an ultrasound of the uterus is helpful.

Treatments include the use of birth-control pills or suppressing periods with the hormone progestin. If symptoms are mild, then nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Aleve, Advil) often can control them. In extreme cases, removal of the uterus is the treatment.

uestion: My sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter went off to college at 18 and immediately went a little crazy. She had always been a good kid, but when she was on her own, she drank like a lush, was sexually promiscuous, and flunked three of her classes.

My daughter is only 12, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want her to make the same mistakes when she is beyond our grasp. How can I get her ready to handle freedom and independence?

Dr. Dobson: Well, you may already be 12 years late in beginning to prepare your daughter for that moment of release. The key is to transfer freedom and responsibility to her little by little from early childhood so she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need your supervision when she is beyond it. To move suddenly from tight control to utter liberty is an invitation to disaster.

I learned this principle from my own mother, who made a calculated effort to teach me independence and responsibility. After laying a foundation during the younger years, she gave me a â&#x20AC;&#x153;final examinationâ&#x20AC;? when I was 17 years old.

Mom and Dad went on a two-week trip and left me at home with the family car and permission to have my buddies stay at the house.

Wow! Fourteen slumber parties in a row! I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it. We could have torn the place apart â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. We behaved rather responsibly.

I always wondered why my mother took such a risk, and after I was grown, I asked her about it.

She just smiled and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew

in one year you would be leaving for college, where you would have complete freedom with no one watching over you. I wanted to expose you to FOCUS that independence while you were still ON THE under my influFAMILY ence.â&#x20AC;?

I suggest that you Dr. James let your daughter Dobson test the waters of â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; freedom occasionally as sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing up, rather than tossing her into the big wide ocean all at once.

It takes wisdom and tact to pull that off, but it can be done. If you do the job properly, the time of release in six or seven years will be a gentle transition rather than a cataclysmic event.

Question: My two kids are as different as night and day. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never even know they were born to the same parents. One of them is having trouble in school, and the other is something of a superstar. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very worried about the one boy. Do some kids start out doing poorly and then catch fire?

Dr. Dobson: Thank goodness they often do. Let me give you an encouraging illustration. Several years ago I attended a wedding ceremony in a beautiful garden setting, and I came away with some thoughts about parents who are raising a child like yours.

After the minister had instructed the groom to kiss the

Almost everyone shows the beginning of cataracts at age 60.

The list of things that might accelerate the development of cataracts contains smoking, excessive drinking of alcohol, sunlight, diabetes and the prolonged use of high doses of cortisone drugs.

I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find any reference that hot, dry or hot, moist air has any bearing on them.

Dear Dr. Donohue: At my last eye examination, the optometrist indicated I had the beginning stages of cataracts. I am 68.

After my workout at a fitness center, I spend time in the sauna or the steam room. Are there any studies that show that prolonged exposure to hot, dry or hot, moist air accelerates cataract formation? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; L.H.

bride on that day, approximately 150 colorful, helium-filled balloons were released into the blue California sky. Within a few seconds the balloons were just scattered all across the heavens, some of them rising hundreds of feet overhead and others cruising toward the horizon. A few balloons struggled to clear the upper branches of the trees while the show-offs became mere pinpoints of color on their journey to the sky.

How interesting, I thought, and how symbolic of children.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it. Some boys and girls seem to be born with more helium than others. They catch all the right breezes, and they soar effortlessly to the heights, while others wobble dangerously close to the trees. Their frantic folks run along underneath, huffing and puffing to keep them airborne. It is an exhausting experience.

In short, I have a word of encouragement to you and all the parents of low-flying kids.

Sometimes the child who has the greatest trouble getting off the ground eventually soars to the highest heights. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I urge you as parents not to look too quickly for the person your child will become.

few attempts, you will see things start to come together. When parents and children know what to expect ahead of time, it is much easier for everyone to take part in a successful outcome, and it builds confidence in children.â&#x20AC;?

Because families are like teams, McVann suggests holding â&#x20AC;&#x153;team meetingsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 30 minutes every Saturday morning, if possible â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to monitor the routineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effectiveness throughout the school year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sooner that kids understand they are part of a team and that that makes life easier, the happier the whole family will be.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a family finds they are always racing against the clock, which can result in missing breakfast, searching for lost items, or running

late, then they should talk about making changes,â&#x20AC;? added Scott.

But McVann says sticking to the routine must include discipline, or it eventually will fail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one likes to hear that word, but kids have to learn to put pens back where they go,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents have to discipline themselves, too. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you how many people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve helped that have deep-rooted emotional problems related to how disorganized their parents were. Children are like sponges, and they pick up the behaviors they see. If you keep your house organized, your kids will appreciate that when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re older.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Survivorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; staircaseâ&#x20AC;? at National September 11 Memorial and Museum served as an escape route for people fleeing the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.

Going up Sept. 11 museum offers raw experience

BY ULA ILNYTZKY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

N

EW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Sept. 11 museum is taking shape 70 feet below ground, a cavernous space that provides an emotionally raw journey and ends at bedrock where huge surviving remnants and spacial voids reveal the scale of the devastation of what once was the World Trade Center.

The museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s architects, director and two victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; family members led members of the news media Tuesday on a tour of the subterranean space, which commemorates nearly 3,000 people who died in the 1993 and 2001 terrorist attacks.

There are no display cabinets yet, no exhibits.

It is still a construction site. But it was easy to visualize the intent of the spaces, clearly articulated by the acute voids created by the fallen towers.

Authentic structural elements that survived the terrorist attacks are there: the slurry wall that kept the Hudson River from inundating the Financial District, the last column of trade center steel ceremonially removed from the site in 2002; the survivorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; staircase that served as an escape route for hundreds; and foundational box columns that anchored the building.

The slurry wall, still in place and measuring 60 feet by 60 feet, and the other huge artifacts define the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design.

The $45 million museum occupies about 120,000 square feet beneath the 8-acre memorial plaza, the centerpiece of which is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reflecting Absence,â&#x20AC;? two square reflecting pools set above the footprints of the north and south towers.

If the museum were above grade, said ar-

www.911memorial.org chitect Steven Davis, a partner at Davis Brody Bond Aedas, â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wow, how cool.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underground ... the progress is less than evident.â&#x20AC;?

Wearing hardhats and protective eye gear, the media reached bedrock level â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where the main exhibition spaces will be located â&#x20AC;&#x201C; along temporary wooden stairs and a freight elevator. The din

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;The wall is only a membrane that separates us from them (the dead), and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our obligation to remember.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Alice Greenwald Museum director of construction equipment was deafening at times.

When the museum opens in 2012, the tour will start at an aboveground glass pavilion, where a 665-foot long â&#x20AC;&#x153;ribbon,â&#x20AC;? or gently sloped ramp, will carry visitors through the site.

The ribbon â&#x20AC;&#x201C; reminiscent of the ramp that workers used to build the original towers and during the recovery efforts following the attacks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will wind down 45 feet to the Memorial Hall, or lobby, past a threepronged trident column recovered from the trade center rubble.

The memory of the twin towers is triggered from different areas of the museum by the depth of the memorial pools

in the cavernous site.

The pools will be clad in a recycled aluminum material similar to that used in the original towers. Special lighting will make them appear to be floating over the space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They exist in true reference to their place and their position on the site so you can see immediately the relationship of the placement of the memorial pools with the actual location of the tower footprint itself,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is something we thought was very important, this spatial accuracy.â&#x20AC;?

Parapets of varying heights along the ramp will reveal different parts of the museum as visitors go down.

Museum architect Mark Wagner said the ramp is not intended to be a bold architectural statement, but rather an access path that allows the events of 9/11 to unfold. On Tuesday, it was still covered in rough concrete. The surface will be dark wood, while the underside will be muted, finished in dark, raw metal.

Stairs or an escalator will provide the final 25foot descent to bedrock, and to a trapezoidal expanse containing the 60foot high slurry wall that held back the Hudson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You begin to understand that the slurry wall is the separation between the basement of the original trade centerâ&#x20AC;? and the river, Davis said.

The last standing 36foot steel column that was removed from the trade center debris at the end of the nine-month recovery effort in 2002 stands in front of the slurry wall. It became a spontaneous memorial to the victims; construction workers and family members covered it with tributes, photographs and inscriptions. On Tuesday, it was sheathed

The towerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foundational steel box columns are exposed at bedrock in the floor slabs, providing an outline of the buildings. The federal government said the column bases and slurry wall should remain in place.

The final descent runs parallel to the Vesey Street stairs, known as the survivorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; staircase, encased in wooden scaffolding on Tuesday. The 37 steps served as an escape route for people fleeing. It stood for years as the last remaining above-ground remnant of the original complex.

There are also several places where visitors can stand between the remnants of the two towers.

Thousands of unidentified remains of 9/11 victims will be stored in the museum, in an area reserved for the medical examinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office; an adjacent room will be set aside for family members. These areas will be off limits to the public.

Anthoula Katsimatides, whose brother died in the attacks, said she hoped visitors will

â&#x20AC;&#x153;learn something about one of those beautiful people who passed away on that dayâ&#x20AC;? and come away with â&#x20AC;&#x153;a sense of peace and a sense of hope.â&#x20AC;?

The idea for the museum design began with â&#x20AC;&#x153;all the things we were given,â&#x20AC;? the remnants of the complex. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A traditional museum design is an icon which contains exhibits,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But this museum, the icon is the exhibit.â&#x20AC;?

Help exists for those unable to manage benefits Q

I have an elderly friend who receives Social Security benefits.

I am concerned that she is unable to manage her money to pay her bills on time. Can Social Security help her?

A. Yes. When an individual who gets Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) checks is determined to be unable to manage benefits in his or her own best interest, Social Security appoints a representative payee to assume these responsibilities. In these cases, the Social Security or SSI benefits are sent directly to the representative payee. The payee takes care of using funds for the personal care and well-being of the beneficiary and agrees to report certain changes in the beneficiaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circumstances that could affect the continuing eligibility to receive benefits. To get more infor-

check, you will not be eligible for SSI. However, if your Social Security payment is low and your overall income and resources are low, you might be eligible to receive an SSI payment to supplement your Social Security benefits. To learn more about SSI, read the publication You May Be Able To Receive SSI at www.socialsecurity. gov/pubs/11069.html

Q. Can I get both Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits and Social Security benefits at the same time?

Q. Is there a time limit on how long you can receive Social Security disability benefits?

A. Many people eligible for SSI may also be entitled to Social Security benefits. In fact, the application for SSI also is an application for Social Security benefits. Eligibility for SSI depends on your income and resources, so if you receive a large Social Security

Dogs, cats can engage in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sleepoversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; D

ear Dr. Fox: I have a story about our childhood dog that you might enjoy: Spot was a female Boston bull terrier with a slim body and long legs.

There were five children in our household under the age of 8. We all enjoyed playing with Spot.

We lived about six blocks from our grandparentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; house and went there for Sunday dinner frequently. Spot trotted along with us. There may have been leash laws then (late 1930s/early 1940s), but no one in the neighborhood (in Iowa City, Iowa) observed them.

Once in a while, Spot would disappear and show up at our grandparentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; house, scratching at the door. My grandmother would let her in, call mom, then feed her and make a bed for her for the night. She and grandpa would enjoy her for the day. Then, after another feeding in the morning, she would let Spot out and she would come home.

It seemed she needed a respite from all the energetic little ones. When we went for Sunday dinner, grandma would always take Spot onto her lap after dinner and no child was allowed to come near so Spot could have a nap. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; B.C., St. Louis, Mo.

Dear B.C.: Those were the days when dogs were dogs. At least in low-traffic communities dogs were safer, but they still ran the risk of rabies, distemper and dog-fighting injuries.

Spot knew what side his bread was buttered on. It is my impression that cats engage in this sleepover/more-thanone-home behavior than do their canine cousins.

I have heard of some cats who would stay for several days, even weeks, at a â&#x20AC;&#x153;newâ&#x20AC;? home and then return to their original owners for a similar time period before going off again.

Dear Dr. Fox: Our 6-year-old purebred toy poodle has had a periodic gasping cough since he was a puppy. During these episodes, it seems his throat is constricted and he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough air. The episodes last a few seconds and happen daily. Our veterinarian says he has a collapsible

Dear B.C.: Regrettably, this condition (along with other cartilage and tendon weaknesses, especially involving the knees) is all too common in toy poodles.

Vaccinations could play a role. There is evidence of post-vaccination production of antibodies against connective tissue in dogs who then acquire an autoimmune disease. Some breeds and pedigree lineages may be more susceptible to vaccinosis than others.

I would at least advise no more vaccinations and give your dog a daily multimineral/multivitamin human-infant supplement and glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM and horsetail (for silica).

GINSBURG OPINION

----

AP

Elena Kagan is sworn in as the Supreme Court’s newest member as Chief Justice John Roberts (right) administers the judicial oath at the Supreme Court Building Aug. 7. The Bible is held by Jeffrey Minear, counselor to the chief justice. Kagan, 50, who replaces retired Justice John Paul Stevens, becomes the fourth woman to sit on the high court and is the first Supreme Court justice in nearly four decades with no previous experience as a judge.

Gender history With three women on Court, how big a difference?

BY MARK SHERMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

WASHINGTON — At least once a term for 13 years, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg recalled, some lawyer arguing before the Supreme Court would mistake her for Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, or vice versa.

No matter that Brooklyn-born Ginsburg and O’Connor, raised on a ranch in Arizona, look and sound nothing alike.

The confusion arose because, even at the dawn of the 21st century, women on the court were “one- or two-at-a-time curiosities,” Ginsburg said.

So she considered it progress that no one made that error after Sonia Sotomayor became a Supreme Court justice last year.

Now with Elena Kagan set to join them on the bench for the start of the high court term in October, Ginsburg perceives an even bigger change.

“We are one-third of this court,” Ginsburg said during an interview with The Associated Press in her Supreme Court office.

No longer a momentous event, the appointment of a woman to the high court has become, Ginsburg said, “expectable.”

“I don’t think anybody’s going to confuse Justice Kagan, Justice Ginsburg

or Justice Sotomayor,” she said.

But having three women on the court may not change the outcome of any cases.

The justices, after all, regularly divide 5-4 along ideological lines in highprofile cases. Sotomayor’s votes in her first year were very similar to Justice David Souter’s, the man she replaced. Kagan is expected to vote much like Justice John Paul Stevens, who retired in June.

“Having this seat occupied by a woman does not in and of itself change the way this justice votes,” said Vanderbilt University law professor Tracey George.

Academic studies have so far found just one area, sex discrimination lawsuits, in which the presence of a woman on a panel of federal appeals court judges appears to make a difference.

be more attention-grabbing than others’.

Ginsburg is fond of her service with O’Connor, who retired in 2006. In disagreeing on some major issues, they showed that women “come in all sizes and shapes just like men do.”

Ginsburg was appointed

by Democrat Bill Clinton, while O’Connor became the first woman on the court thanks to Republican Ronald Reagan.

Kagan and Sotomayor were both nominated by President Barack Obama, a Democrat.

“I’d feel better if there was a conservative woman on the court as well, just so there wasn’t an opportunity to think they’re liberal just because they’re women,” said Catholic University law professor Amanda Leiter, a onetime clerk for Stevens.

O’Connor played a critical role on the court, never predictably conservative or liberal, often providing the decisive vote in closely divided cases.

The three women justices “may be in dissent more often” because they make up three-fourths of the liberal side of a more conservative court, Leiter said.

Their Democratic ties, though, could make it more likely that the next Republican president will look to nominate a woman, said Notre Dame law professor and former Supreme Court law clerk Richard Garnett.

Ginsburg said Garnett could be right. “I don’t think that when there’s the next vacancy the president will feel any compulsion to appoint another woman, but also won’t resist appointing another woman,” she said.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told the country’s largest lawyers’ group Monday that she hopes Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominees can become more collegial.

Ginsburg, 77, recounted her own uncontroversial confirmation during an address at the American Bar Association’s annual meeting in San Francisco.

Her nomination

by Democratic President Bill Clinton was approved 96-3.

Votes on the last four nominees have been much closer and acrimonious, a departure from the long-standing tradition of giving the president wide deference on appointees.

“May the U.S. Senate someday return to the collegial bipartisan spirit that Justice Breyer and I had the good fortune to experience,” Ginsburg said, referring to Associate Justice Stephen Breyer, the next nominee to follow her to the bench.

The justice spoke after receiving the ABA Medal, the association’s most prestigious award. Ginsburg said she had delayed her trip to the ABA’s meeting to attend the Saturday afternoon swearing-in of Elena Kagan as the fourth woman ever on the Supreme Court. Ginsburg was the second.

Wealthy political newcomers are spending big

BY JULIET WILLIAMS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

SACRAMENTO, Calif.

— In the midst of one of the worst recessions in decades, a host of former corporate leaders are spending millions in their quest for elective office, using their personal wealth to push past the political machinery and their own lack of experience.

In California, billionaire former eBay chief executive Meg Whitman has bankrolled more than $91 million of the nearly $100 million her Republican quest for governor has cost so far.

Her outsized spending has bought her some of the nation’s best-known GOP strategists and chartered planes offering “white glove service.” It’s also helped her target traditionally Democratic voters.

In Connecticut, footage of stage explosions and wrestlers flying through the air has filled the TV airwaves in ads for former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon, who has said she’s willing to spend up to $50 million of her own money in her bid to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd.

Two former corporate chiefs — one a Republican and one a Democrat — quickly took leads from establishment candidates in Florida despite jumping in late in high-profile races.

Rick Scott, a former health care CEO, is leading in GOP gubernatorial primary polls after spending more than $25 million of his own money for a string of TV ads

touting himself as a job creator.

Billionaire Jeff Greene, a Democrat, filed to run for Senate on the final day to qualify. So far he has spent more than $6 million of his fortune.

In Michigan, Rick Snyder, a venture capitalist and former president of computer maker Gateway Inc., spent $6 million, much of it on TV ads touting himself as “one tough nerd,” to win the Republican nomination for governor last

ing for dollars, voters are often skeptical of selfmade political newcomers, said Darry Sragow, who managed Democrat Al Checchi’s unsuccessful primary campaign for California governor in 1998. The Northwest Airlines mogul spent $39 million of his own money on the race.

“You need to overcome the presumption that you made a lot of money in business, you’re bored, you have a big ego and now you have to find something else to keep you busy,” Sragow said.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg holds the U.S. record for selffinancing, spending $108 million, or about $185 per vote, to win a third term last year. He did not take donations.

The candidates’ wealth can also be a liability, particularly it they have ties to the corporate boardroom at a time when recessionweary voters are angry over bank bailouts and soaring CEO salaries.

Greene, the Florida Senate candidate, has been hammered by an opponent who says he profited from others’ misery by investing in speculative housing ventures that catapulted him to billionaire status when the housing bubble burst.

Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum, Scott’s GOP Senate primary opponent, constantly reminds voters that Scott headed a for-profit hospital chain, Columbia/HCA, when it paid $1.7 billion to settle claims of Medicare fraud.

Triad restaurant pioneer dies

BY CHRIS LAVENDER MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

BURLINGTON – For more than three decades, Glenda Fogleman blazed a trail as owner and operator of two local Chick-fil-A restaurants.

Funeral services were held recently for Fogleman, of Elon, who died July 31 at 73 after an extended illness. Fogleman, a Gibsonville native, began her career with Chick-fil-A in December

1969 at Holly Hill Mall in the restaurant’s kitchen.

She later bought into the Chick-fil-A franchises at Holly Hill Mall and Garden Road.

Sandy Causey, of Atlanta, said she first met Fogleman in March 1981 when she started her own career with Chick-fil-A. “She always cared a lot about her customers,” Causey said.

Causey still works at Chick-fil-A’s corporate offices in Atlanta and said she would often see Fogle-

man at the company’s annual training seminars.

Causey said Fogleman was the second woman in Chick-fil-A’s history to own and operate one of its restaurants, around 1970.

Fogleman had a giving spirit for local law enforcement and first responders as well. According to Alamance County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Randy Jones, Fogleman would often provide chicken sandwiches and other food items to emergency personnel.

Burned-out eatery rises from ashes

BY LAURA OLENIACZ MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

NEW BERN – There are streaks of dark soot on the yellow walls of La Fontana Restaurant & Pizza, and a smoke odor still hangs in the air.

Still, Todd Biringer with the Wilmington-based fire and water damage resto-

ration company All American Firefighters believes the closed down Berne Square restaurant will be “the most beautiful office in town” by Nov. 1.

The limited liability corporation was contracted by La Fontana’s owner, Barnett Properties, to restore the building that was damaged in the fire that took place early on

April 13. The company was started by a career firefighter in Wilmington, Marvin Spruill III, who wanted to diversify his business Off Duty Firemen Construction during the down economy.

The business has offices in Wilmington and in Raleigh, and when the company is through with the restoration of La Fontana,

Biringer said the business will lease the building as a New Bern office and showroom. The company first got involved with the project when it was called by the property owner’s insurance company, The Travelers Companies Inc., to help estimate the cost of the damage of the fire, which was deliberately set.

Scarlettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dresses in bad shape, need repairs A

USTIN, Texas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to find out if fans of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gone With the Windâ&#x20AC;? frankly give a damn about the fabulous dresses worn by Vivien Leigh in the multiple Oscar-winning Civil War drama.

The Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas in Austin is trying to raise $30,000 to restore five of Scarlett Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Haraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now tattered gowns from the 1939 film.

The Ransom Center is planning an exhibit to mark the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 75th anniversary in 2014, but at the moment most of them are too fragile to go on display, according to Jill Morena, the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection assistant for costumes and personal effects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are areas where the fabric has been worn through, fragile seams and other problems,â&#x20AC;?

Morena said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These dresses have been under a lot of stress.â&#x20AC;?

The Ransom Center acquired the costumes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Haraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green curtain dress, green velvet gown, burgundy ball gown, blue velvet night gown and her wedding dress â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the mid1980s as part of the collection of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gone With the Windâ&#x20AC;? producer David O. Selznick. By then, they had already been through decades of traveling displays in theaters and had been on loan to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Film costumes werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meant to last,â&#x20AC;? Morena said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are only meant to last through the duration of filming. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find them to be as finished as if you bought something off the rack.â&#x20AC;?

The costumes are among the most famous in Hollywood history and they played a key role in one of the most popular films ever.

‘Cathy’ comic strip ending

AP

In this film publicity image released by Sony, Javier Bardem (left) and Julia Roberts are shown in a scene from “Eat, Pray, Love.”

Hollywood’s leading lady Actress Julia Roberts talks nerves, family and ‘Eat, Pray, Love’

S

T. HELENA, Calif. (AP) – She has, arguably, been the leading lady in Hollywood for the last 20 years. But even Julia Roberts gets nervous about her film projects, including her latest: A bigscreen adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert’s best-selling memoir, “Eat, Pray, Love.”

But it’s a good thing.

“If I’m not feeling anxious and excited and nervous, then I haven’t invested much in it and

‘If I’m not feeling anxious and excited and nervous, then I haven’t invested much in it and I shouldn’t be there.’

Julia Roberts Actress I shouldn’t be there,” Roberts says. “So, really, I just want to put myself in a position where I am really feeling like I have to ramp up and accomplish my goals.”

And Roberts wasn’t the only one: Director Ryan Murphy confessed facing a bout of nerves before meeting his star.

“I was really nervous before I met her because I have been a fan, too. I have seen all of her movies,” he said. “Nothing surprises me about her because what you see is what you get with Julia, which is why I think people love her and why she lasts and continues to last.

Because she is very sincere, very empathetic, and compassionate. What I didn’t know is how funny she was.”

The two were in California’s Napa Valley recently to talk to the press about “Eat, Pray, Love,” which opened Friday,

and they recounted plenty of laughs as the “Eat, Pray, Love” crew replicated Gilbert’s round-the-world journey.

Roberts’ family – including 5-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus and 3-year-old Henry – also came along for the ride.

“Well, the funny thing is, they had just been in India because my husband (photographer Danny Moder) had just been working there in January and this was in October,” Roberts explained. “So, we had been in Jaunpur and Agra and all these places, Goa. We were all over the entire country.

They loved it. So, when I said we were going back, they were so excited. We went to all the places we hadn’t been before.”

Nevertheless, some of the sights were familiar, perhaps most notably an elephant that plays a key role in the movie.

“Actually that elephant that I had the scene with ... is the elephant that Phinnaeus and I had ridden in January in Jaunpur. When I walked across the ashram and saw that elephant I said, ‘I know that elephant,’ and it was the same elephant.”

Since her box-office breakthrough in 1990’s “Pretty Woman,” Roberts has done little small-screen work – until now. She serves as a producer of a documentary series set to debut in January on Oprah Winfrey’s new cable network.

“It’s called, ‘Extraordinary Moms,’” said Roberts, 42. “It really is, for me, a celebration, a show to honor moms who I think do ... I mean, every mom does amazing things every day.

But we found some that really, really are extraordinary and we wanted to make a show about it. Oprah made it happen for us.”

One TV gig she won’t be taking is a role in her “Eat, Pray, Love” director Ryan Murphy’s hit TV series, “Glee.”

Nelly to host radio show in St. Louis

Actress Julia Roberts attends the the world premiere of “Eat, Pray, Love” at the Ziegfeld Theatre last week in New York.

Explained Roberts: “Billy Crudup and I were in a Woody Allen musical a couple of years ago and so he said, ‘Oh, you’re a great singer,’ and my husband said, ‘You are a great singer.’ So, now I’m going to say I am a great singer, and I’m not just going on ‘Glee.’ ” Roberts’ next big-screen project is “Larry Crowne,” a dramedy that’s been shoot-

known for her role as C l a i r Huxtable on the TV series Rashad “ T h e Cosby Show.”

Also, E. Faye Butler will star as Aunt Eller in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma!” It will run from Oct. 22 to Dec. 26.

ing in Southern California in recent months and is set for release next year, reunites her with Tom Hanks, whom she described as “an amazing man and friend.”

As for her life in general, Roberts said she feels “really satisfied.”

Her next really demanding project? “Get ready for kindergarten.”

ST. LOUIS (AP) – St. Louis rapper Nelly is used to having DJs play his music on the radio. Now, he’s the one spinning tunes.

Program director Nelly Mickey Johnson says the rapper has joined St. Louis urban station Hot 104.1 (WHHL-FM) as the afternoon drive-time host. He is filling in on the 3-7 p.m. shift for Staci Static, who is on maternity leave.

Station executives expect Nelly’s on-air stint to last for about a month.

Johnson says the station wanted someone with star power. In addition to playing music, Nelly will conduct interviews.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The comic strip “Cathy,” which has chronicled the life, frustrations and swimsuit season meltdowns of its namesake for more than 30 years, is coming to an end.

Cathy Guisewite, the strip’s creator, said last week that deciding to end the comic strip was “excruciating.” The comic has won several awards, including a 1992 National Cartoonists Society’s Reuben Award and an Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program in 1987, and at its height appeared in 1,400 papers.

“It’s just been really unbelievably agonizing to make the decision,” Guisewite said in a telephone interview from her home in the Los Angeles area. “The strip has not only been the most astonishing form of therapy for 34 years, but doing a daily comic strip for the newspaper set a certain rhythm for my life.”

The final “Cathy” strip will run in newspapers on Sunday, Oct. 3.

Guisewite, 59, said she chose to end the largely autobiographical comic strip because she wanted more time with her 18year-old daughter and her parents and because “other personal deadlines started becoming more pressing for me than the newspaper ones.”

She said her “creative biological clock” was also urging her to try something else, although she isn’t sure what that will be.

In this rendering released by the O&M Company, the set design of Oscorp Labs for the upcoming musical “Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark” is shown.

NEW YORK (AP) – Long hanging in limbo, the musical “Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark” is scheduled to spin its web later this year on Broadway.

Lead producer Michael Cohl announced last week that the much-anticipated show will begin preview performances on Nov. 14, with opening night set for Dec. 21. Its home will be the former Hilton Theatre, now renamed the Foxwoods Theatre.

Based on the Marvel comic book hero, “Spider-Man” features music and lyrics by Bono and The Edge, with a book by its director, Julie Taymor, and Glen Berger.

Destined to be one of the most expensive musicals in Broadway history, it has been in the works for six years and faced financial hurdles.

At one point, it was scheduled to begin performances this past winter.
