Numbers show little relief for jobless

Wastewater spill incites residents, officials BY ELIOT DUKE

As the country’s national recession nears the two-year mark, North Carolina’s unemployment rate decreased slightly to its lowest mark in almost six months. The state unemployment rate dipped to 10.8 percent in August, decreasing a tenth of a percent from July and dropping for the fifth straight month. Employment, however, is still down by 217,761 workers from a year ago, according to statistics released by the North Carolina employment Security Commission. “A small loss in our labor force led to a decrease in the rate,” Moses Carey Jr., ESC chairman, said. “Much like previous months, we have not experienced a lot of change in the labor force one way or the other. These small changes have resulted in slight decreases throughout the past few months. However, we are still dealing with a high unemployment rate and continue to assist our customers throughout the state during these tough economic times.” Even with the unemployment rate beginning to stabilize, having increased significantly just one month this year when it jumped from 9.7 to 10.7 percent in February, the ramifications from the recession are still far from over. Since the start of the recession in December of 2007, unemployment has spiked 116.5 percent while employment has decreased 6.2 percent. Both numbers are higher than the national numbers of 98 percent and 4.5 percent,

bers of society. His insights and contributions will be a welcome asset to StreetSafe.” Blackwell accompanied the Governor to the press conference announcing the task force appointments on September 16. “It is a high honor to be a part of the StreetSafe Task Force and to work shoulder to shoulder with this experienced and dedicated group,” Blackwell said. “I appreciate Governor Perdue for extending me this opportunity to serve our great state in this special capacity.”

Thomasville City Council heard pleas from concerned citizens Tuesday night at its monthly meeting regarding the reported sewage spill that sent nearly 16 million gallons of untreated wastewater into High Rock Lake. Yadkin Riverkeeper Dean Naujoks requested that the council hold a public meeting to fully address the spill, but he was unable to garner a definitive answer. At one point during his address, Najouks, after being told his allotted time expired by Mayor Joe Bennett, said he didn’t want to leave the podium until he got an answer, feeling it was important that the public knows how the city is going to handle the clean up. “This was an egregious spill and the way it was handled was not very well,” Najouks told the council. “You have to answer to the public. The public has a right to know what the health ramifications are, what the city is doing to investigate the matter, what they’re going to do to hold someone accountable and what the city is going to do in terms of developing an action plan.” Najouks said it was going to cost between $5 and $10 million to replace aging sewer lines, and that spill may be what prompts the city to take such action. By holding a public hearing, Najouks said it would give the city a chance to announce any findings from its testing and explain how the city will deal with the problem. Ronnie Lewis, a property owner at High Rock Lake, joined Najouks at the podium and expressed similar concerns as to how the city was dealing with the spill. Lewis’ granddaughter became sick after swimming in the contaminated water and he feels something isn’t adding up when it comes to the dates of when the spill took place. “We need some answers here,” said Lewis. “We don’t need a bunch of promises. Don’t jerk us around. You may have done something wrong, but it’s something you’ve dumped on us down there at the lake. I’ve got a bunch of money invested in property down there and I want something done. I’m bringing a bunch of people with me next time and

HEALTH

Comparing treatments is important to health LIFELONG HEALTH

DR. DAVID LIPSCHITZ Syndicated Columnist

Proposed health care reform will likely include increased funding for comparative effectiveness research, where one form of treatment is compared with another to determine which approach is best. Recently, Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., attacked this element of the legislation, claiming that comparative effectiveness research is dangerous and a clear reason to oppose health care reform. He is concerned that irreparable harm will come to the 30 percent of

patients who will not receive a specific treatment because it was proven to be of no value, dangerous or not as good as other approaches to care. The senator maintains that no physician would ever treat or perform a procedure that was of no proven value. Unfortunately, that is simply not the case. The evidence is compelling that we frequently provide unnecessary, unduly expensive and potentially harmful care. The purpose of comparing one approach to treatment with another is to educate the physician and the patient. Patients should be provided with as much information as possible to feel sufficiently empowered to choose the right treatment. By truly understanding the pros and cons of any therapy, the physician and patient will feel comfortable that the best approach is being undertaken. More importantly, this sort of research provides basic

guidelines for best practices in virtually every aspect of medical care. By funding comparative effectiveness research, we are promoting and valuing evidence-based medicine -- which is a vital component to health care reform. I see the need for evidence-based medicine every day. Recently an 88-year-old patient complained to her cardiologist that her legs were swollen and “blotchy.” The cardiologist determined it was an indicator of vascular disease, even though there was no evidence to support it. He ordered a CT scan of the arteries of her abdomen and legs. The scan showed significant narrowing of her arteries, which is very common in adults her age. She was immediately referred to a colleague who planned an angiogram and an angioplasty to open up the narrowed vessels. Before agreeing to the treatment, she came to see me. We elected not

to do the angiogram, as she had no symptoms of vascular disease and the procedure would not improve her quality of life. The specialists who evaluated this patient sincerely believed that the diagnostic and therapeutic approach was appropriate, even though there is no evidence that this treatment was of value at her age. Moreover, the side effects are significant. For every patient who elects not to do this sort of treatment, there are many more who blindly trust their doctors and undergo potentially dangerous therapies. The importance of understanding the benefits and disadvantages of treatment is further illustrated by a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Researchers examined the amount of irradiation more than 1 million middle-aged adults received from diagnostic tests. Remarkably, 19 out of every 1,000

individuals received sufficient radiation to increase the risk of cancer. The single most frequent test causing excessive irradiation was a CT scan of the heart to screen for coronary artery disease. Many patients have this test on more than one occasion, and many institutions actively market the Heartsaver CT at a very low cost in the hope of identifying heart disease. Sadly, studies have shown that neither the staff nor the patient understands that the amount of irradiation received is excessive and that the test should never be used as a screening tool. With clear government-funded research and guidelines for care, this sort of unnecessary and dangerous treatment could be avoided. Comparative effectiveness research is not an underhanded approach to eliminate the stateof-the-art medicine that characterizes the American system and has brought many scientific

breakthroughs in recent history. Rather, it is to determine when these cutting-edge techniques are appropriate. In addition, as these advances in care become widespread, comparing one approach to another becomes all the more important. In America, no one should have unnecessary, inappropriate and dangerous therapies. Supporting research to determine which treatments are most appropriate is not rationing health care. Rather, it is promoting rational health care -- something that everyone should wholeheartedly support.

N.C. Shakespeare Festival holding auditions for ‘A Christmas Carol’ TIMES STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT — The North Carolina Shakespeare Festival holds auditions by appointment Oct. 9 - 10 for its December production of Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol. A Christmas Carol is produced under a LORT ‘D’ contract with Equity. Generally, NCSF fills eleven to twelve Equity positions (including Stage Managers) and complements the company with non-union professionals and, when appropriate, interns who are matriculated students in formal theatre training programs at colleges and universities. Community actors and youth also play a prominent role in the production and are strongly encouraged to audition. Auditionees should prepare one brief (2 minutes) monologue from a play of their choice and beprepared to sing a few bars of a Christmas song of their choice, without accompaniment. NCSF invites youth to audition for the production. Youth must be 9 years old or older and need not prepare a monologue; youth will be asked to read from the script at the time of auditioning. Teens 14 and older should prepare a brief monologue as noted above. NCSF requires an 8x10 B&W headshot and detailed resume at audition time. Actor contracts will run six weeks, from Nov. 10 – Dec. 20. Equity artists receive LORT ‘D’ minimum weekly salaries. Non-Equity actors receive $250 - $300 weekly salaries depending on experience and casting. Interns receive a $360 total honorarium to support transportation costs during the contract period. Community actors are

hired at $100 - $125 weekly (or an honorarium), depending on experience and casting. Children cast in the production receive a $125 honorarium. Actors with agents should note NCSF does not pay agent fees. Actors residing 50 miles outside High Point receive housing. It is important to note NCSF provides no single housing, and actors generally share two or three bedroom apartments or houses – all actors have their separate bedroom. Actors who need

North Carolina Big Sweep needs your help on Saturday, September 26. Last year, volunteers across the state cleaned up over 264 tons of trash from our streams. Unfortunately, there’s still tons of garbage out there. “Volunteers have the power to change our environment,” said Judy Bolin, N.C. Big Sweep president. “The time to act is now. Talk to your friends and family about the upcoming cleanup and ask them to help out. In just a few hours of volunteering, we can make a really big difference.” Litter affects our health, our economy, and

B.A. in Anchorage VIEWPOINT

SUSAN ESTRICH Syndicated Columnist I got a very nice e-mail from B.A. in Anchorage last week. Actually, it wasn’t very nice. She (I think it’s a she, but I don’t know for sure) thinks I’m completely clueless and worse. But that’s OK. She doesn’t think I should be killed or strung up because I disagree with her. Reading the e-mail wasn’t so scary that I had to forward it to the campus police and wonder why I bother. As far as I could tell, B.A. was actually trying to have a civil conversation with me about why she thought I was wrong. God bless her. It’s been not even a year since this country elected Barack Obama, a man who ran not to be the black president but the president. As he stood there that night in Chicago, and again a few months later in Washington on the steps of the Capitol, he pledged not to divide the country but to heal the divisions. What happened? How is it that nine months into his presidency, the name calling is so out of hand that it is a relief to get an e-mail you don’t have to delete because it’s full of hateful obscenities? And I’m just a little fish in this fight. I talk to people who are bigger players — elected officials and political leaders, talking heads with their own shows and more newspapers running them than I’ll ever have — and we whisper about how scary it is “out there.” But it’s not “out there.” It’s right here, on your computer, on your radio, on your TV, everywhere you look. Of course, as B.A. reminded me, Nancy Pelosi et al. did not exactly treat the presidency with respect when George W.

Bush held the job. Neither did many liberal commentators, which is one reason they have their own shows and websites and beach houses. I can say, with all honesty, that I never preached hate, but so what and who cares? Lots of others did, maybe not heckling from the back of Congress in a joint session (sorry, B.A., but I do think that’s different), but certainly in other places. The problem is that there’s no end to this game of titfor-tat. You destroy Obama because we destroyed Bush. We destroyed Bush because of what you did to Clinton. Hard economic times only make it easier. It’s not difficult to fire up people when they are frightened and insecure, which so many of us are, with reason. Who doesn’t feel like yelling and screaming when you see your pension disappear or you can’t make your house payments and you don’t even know how to explain to your kids that you don’t have the money to buy them what they want or need? Two wrongs don’t make a right. “He started it” is not an excuse. Isn’t this what we all teach our children? Why doesn’t it also apply to us? Eight years of wrongs do not justify eight more, and then eight more after that. Health care reform is important. But civility and decency are even more important. Our democracy cannot survive without them. Sticks and stones are not the only things that hurt. Names hurt, too. We will end up not just hating our presidents, but hating each other. So I wrote back to B.A., and she wrote back to me. “May God help us all find our way back to civil discourse,” she said in closing. Amen. Last weekend marked the beginning of the Jewish New Year. To all of those who celebrated, Shanah Tovah — a happy and healthy New Year, and one in which we find our way back together.

100 years of teaching N.C. journalists VIEWPOINT

D.G. MARTIN N.C. Columnist A few days ago one of the lions of North Carolina newspaper culture died: Horace Carter. As a young university graduate, he moved to Tabor City near the South Carolina line and started a small community newspaper. Before long, he had built a solid business, made a happy and financially secure life for himself and his family, and won the Pulitzer Prize for risking it all by standing up to the Ku Klux Klan. One of Carter’s last gifts to North Carolina was funding a new history of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at UNC-Chapel Hill, which, ironically, first came into my hands the day Mr. Carter died. “Making News: One Hundred Years of Journalism and Mass Communication at Carolina” by retired professor and former interim dean Tom Bowers begins with one small journalism class taught by Professor Edward Kidder Graham in 1909. Bowers follows the school as it changes and grows to a modern day (2005) faculty of 45 and student body of 876. In some respects, the book

is for insiders at the “JSchool,” a tribute to their institution and a chronicle of how they got “where they are at.” But Bowers has made it much more. It is a story of conflict and tension about the school’s mission, a study in academic and professional leadership, and, indirectly, a history of the changes in the way the mass media communicates with the public. One of the highlights of Bowers’ story is his careful portraiture of each the deans of the school. Two of them served terms of more than 25 years as leader of the journalism teaching at the university. The difference between the two men helps point to different ideas about what a North Carolina journalism school should do and how it should do it. Oscar Jackson “Skipper” Coffin was department chair 1926 until 1950, and then dean until 1953. He was an old-school newspaperman who had worked his way to the editorship of the Raleigh Times. He had a disdain for academic niceties, for traveling to conferences, and for the value of obtaining accreditation for the school. He saw little relationship between these things and what the school did to prepare its graduates to get and keep good jobs at good newspapers. The school’s success in producing a core of fine journalists gained for it and for Coffin a devoted core of admirers. But when the school failed to gain accreditation, pressure built for new leadership. Coffin’s successors took a different approach and were part of what Bowers

calls “a new generation of journalism educators who valued a more scholarly approach to the field, taught courses about issues in journalism (in addition to practical skills courses), and showed a greater appreciation for research.” One of these successors was Richard Cole, dean from 1979 until 2005. Although Cole had practical newspaper experience, he was grounded in academia, with masters and PhD degrees, and possessed a drive to build the school’s research and graduate programs. According to Bowers, Cole “transformed the school” and raised the substantial funds needed to respond to the technological and cultural changes that took place during his tenure. At the beginning of Cole’s tenure, more than 60 percent of journalism undergraduates concentrated on the “news-editorial” course offerings. By 2005 only about 20 percent did. Almost 30 percent focused on public relations, and about 20 percent in advertising. Louis Graves, who led the journalism program in the 1920s, looked for the day when the “traditional vagabond journalist, the drinker and wastrel” would disappear. Graves would be proud of today’s J-School, slick and clean, full of students with crisp fresh faces, computers under arm, not a wastrelto-be among them, just as proud as Horace Carter was. D.G. Martin is hosting his final season of UNC-TV’s North Carolina Bookwatch, which airs Sundays at 5 p.m.

In just under a year and a half of this, a lot of folks have lost their jobs and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take time for them to get called back. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lot of good news about a 10.8 percent unemployment rate.â&#x20AC;? In the past year alone, the state unemployment rate has went from 6.6 percent to 10.8, and the number of people without a job increased by 189,252 people. While unemployment dipped by more than 6,000 workers

in the past month, employment is still down by 217,761 since last August. The national recession is entering its 20th month, which is more than the past two recessions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; July 1990-March 1991 and March 2001-November 2001 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; combined. The national unemployment rate is 9.7 percent. Staff Writer Eliot Duke can be reached at 888-3578, or at duke@tvilletimes. com.

Earlier this year, the Henry Etta and Bruce Hinkle Hospice House opened in Lexington with support from Hinkle and Silversides in memory of their parents.

Speaking for herself and her brother, Talmadge Hinkle Silversides said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our grandfather was involved in the early planning for DCCC and understood the potential for its economic impact on Davidson County.

City attorney Paul Mitchell said at the beginning of the meeting that council members met in closed session regarding the legal ramifications of the spill.

In other business: Thomasville Police Chief Jeff Insley proposed a new classification within the department that he hopes will improve efficiency. Insleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan is to reclassify a lieutenant position to captain, improving communication both inside the department and out. Insley feels the move will divvy up responsibility more evenly, allowing for more development and specialized attention in certain areas.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re streamlining some things,â&#x20AC;? said Insley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing is trying to consolidate some things so that when people call with a concern, depending on what area they live in, they will have one person to go to. That will allow them to be their point of contact, and the lieutenant will have the autonomy to come up with a response to deal with that problem.â&#x20AC;?

CHAPEL HILL — When Erik Highsmith began his career at North Carolina, he didn’t want jersey No. 88. For the past three years, Hakeem Nicks, a first-round draft pick by the New York Giants who owns multiple UNC receiving records, wore that number. But the coaching staff gave No. 88 to Highsmith anyway, and Saturday against East Carolina the true freshman did his best to live up to the jersey’s history. Highsmith became the first true freshman since Nicks with more than 100 yards receiving to help lead UNC past ECU 31-17 at Kenan Stadium. “As soon as I got my number, everybody was like, ‘Man, you’ve got big shoes to fill,’ “ said Highsmith, who finished with six catches for 113 yards and one touchdown. “I just had a lot of pressure on me. I didn’t think Coach [Butch] Davis was going to give me that number.” The No. 24 Tar Heels improve to 3-0 for the first time since 1997, avenging a 34-31 loss in Greenville two years ago. After struggling on offense a week ago in a win over Connecticut, UNC put up 433 yards of offense, including 148 yards on the ground. Quarterback T.J. Yates finished 19-of-24 for 227 yards and two touchdowns. One of the biggest differences in the offense was the improvement of the line, which did not give up a sack a week after giving up six and created holes for UNC’s Shaun Draughn to rush for 84 yards. “People were getting on their blocks better,” said Draughn, who had 21 rushing yards against UConn. “The holes that were supposed to be there, were there.” The Tar Heels’ offense also got a lift from a couple of big plays from its young receivers. After a UNC fumble set up ECU’s first score of the day — a 7-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Pinkney to Jamar Bryant — UNC drove down the field on the ensuing possession. Highsmith tied the score 7-7 when he caught a 16-yard touchdown pass in the back, left corner of the end zone for his first career touchdown reception. “When he called the play, it was ‘X corner,’“ said Highsmith, who received a unsportsmanlike penalty for blowing a kiss to the ECU fans. “He called it and it was wide open.” But Highsmith wasn’t the only true freshman to have a breakout game. Three plays after Charles Brown recovered an ECU fumble at the

Martin off to quick start in Sprint Chase NASCARMEDIA.COM LOUDON, N. H. — Unbelievable. That’s the only word to describe it. Ageless Mark Martin, 50, held off a tremendous charge by Juan Pablo Montoya and Denny Hamlin with three laps to go to win the Sylvania 300 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Hamlin finished second and Montoya third in a race full of action. Three-time champion Jimmie Johnson was fourth and Kyle Busch finished fifth. His brother Kurt was next, followed by Ryan Newman, Elliott Sadler, Greg Biffle, Clint Bowyer and Brian Vickers. Four of the top five finishers are in The Chase for The NASCAR Sprint Cup. The younger Busch did not qualify for it this season. The stage for the wildand-wooly finish was set with less than 10 laps remaining when Marcus Ambrose bumped AJ Allmindinger from behind, sending AJ around. It created a down-to-the-wire dash in which Martin jumped ahead of Montoya by just

LAWRENCE, Kan. — For Duke to keep pace with a nationally ranked opponent at this point in the program’s development, the Blue Devils must excel on plays that decide which team is going to possess the football and on plays that decide where they’re going to possess the ball. Saturday at No. 22 Kansas, when it came to plays that led to change of possession and or a significant change in field position, the Blue Devils had to feel short-changed. “You’ve either got to make a ton of big plays or you’ve got to make first downs, and we’re not getting much of either,” Duke coach David Cutcliffe said after his Blue Devils fell 44-16 at Memorial Stadium. “When you can’t convert on third down — and we’re struggling in that world — it’s difficult.” One play typified both Duke’s third-down struggles — the Blue Devils were 0-for-7 in the first half and 4-of-18 for the game — as well as Kansas’ ability to make gamechanging plays. On Duke’s first drive of the second half, facing a third and 6 from its 45-yard line, quarterback Thad Lewis threw his first interception of the season, a pass that defensive end Maxwell Onyegbule picked off and returned 48 yards for a touchdown to give Kansas a 27-7 lead. “He did a great job of hiding behind the defensive line, and with those big guys up front, I didn’t see him at all,” said Lewis (16-of-27, 184 yards), who shared time with freshman Sean Renfree (14-of23, 115 yards) for the second straight game. “Third-down conversions really hurt us a lot. We just didn’t execute. Sometimes we missed a block or we missed a read, but they did a great job of disguising their defenses.” Duke (1-2) didn’t mess around with third down on its opening drive. Lewis hooked up with Austin Kelly for a simple screen that went 66 yards down the left sideline on the Devils’ first snap, then Lewis scored on a 21-yard draw out of the shotgun on the next play for a 7-0 lead that stunned most of the 50,101 fans. Kansas (3-0), however, answered with a touchdown — fittingly on third down —when quarterback Todd Reesing avoided a blitz and hit Dezmon Briscoe (6 catches, 117 yards) across the middle for a 14-yard score. Duke’s offense sputtered the rest of the half, mustering just 58 yards after gaining 87 on the game’s first two plays. It didn’t help that running back Re’quan Boyette left

SPORTS AREA SPORTS BRIEFS FOOTBALL Bullpups dominate season opener The Thomasville Middle School Bullpups opened the season in exciting fashion, pummeling South Davidson 47-6. Demorris Payne opened the floodgates racing 75 yards to the house on a kickoff return. Enrique Solis added the point after to put the Bullpups ahead early. Ike Marsh fielded a punt and went 60 yards down to the Wildcat goal line. Marsh took it in from there for the score. South scored its only points late in the first quarter, as Thomasville poured it on from there. Payne added a 60-yard scamper to close out the first half with a 22-6 Bullpup lead. Dwain Purvis scored on an interception, Tommy Rogers went in on a 25-yard run and Malik Jones also found the end zone. Malik Peterson completed the scoring rumbling 47 yards to

But Duke’s defensive line, even with senior Vince Oghobaase missing his first career game with a knee injury, battled hard to keep the score tied until the latter stages of the half. Eventually, the Blue Devils’ deficiencies on third down caught up with them, and they couldn’t keep up with Reesing and his talented receivers. Kansas took its first lead with 4:59 left in the half on its only scoring drive, aside from a meaningless touchdown late, that didn’t include at least one third-down conversion. After Jake Sharp’s 7-yard touchdown catch made it 13-7, Lewis overshot Kelly on Duke’s ensuing drive on third down. That gave Kansas the ball with time to score again. Reesing hit Briscoe for 39 yards on a third and 10; Reesing scrambled for 6 yards on a third and four; and finally Ker-

Seuss dominates in Caraway 150 WHELEN ASHEBORO — Andy Seuss took the win in the Caraway 150 at Caraway Speedway on Saturday night by .884 seconds over George Brunnhoelzl III. It marked the fourth victory of the season for the 22-year-old driver from Hampstead, N.H. Seuss passed Burt Myers on Lap 10 and remained out front the rest of the night. “We know passing George for the points lead is going to be a challenge so we have decided to race these last four races to win and dominate,” Seuss said. “We tried some things last week and were way off but my guys gave me a great car tonight and this is a great night for our team.” Seuss enjoyed a 10-car length lead over Brian Loftin when the only caution flag of the race was thrown on Lap 123 when Tommy Neal spun down the back stretch. Seuss was able to hold on to the lead on the restart and keep Brunnhoelzl in his rearview mirror. Brian Loftin finished third, followed by Burt Myers and Jason Myers. Rounding out the top 10 were Frank Fleming, John Smith, Jonathan Brown, Buddy Emory and J.R. Bertuccio.

ry Meire scored on a diving catch on a third and 2 from the 6 for a 20-7 lead. Reesing was at least as good as advertised, hitting 28 of 41 passes for 338 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for 51 yards. “He may be the best creator that I’ve been around,” Cutcliffe said. “I don’t know how you hem him up. We tried every way we know how and got some pressure and knocked him down some. “He’s a heck of a player.” After the crippling interception to open the second half, walk-on Will Snyderwine connected on the Devils’ first field goal of the season, a 37yarder that made it 27-10. But the Jayhawks came right back, blowing it wide open after a 16-yard scramble by Reesing on third and 7 set up another score. “We came out fast, and that gave us a lot of confidence and energy,” Duke defensive end Ayanga Okpokowuruk said. “But they definitely have some good players, and they made some big-time plays. “They’re not in the Top 25 for nothing.”

At 25 laps, it was Montoya, Stewart, Kurt Busch, Hamlin, Gordon, Stremme, Truex, Edwards and Johnson in the top 10. By Lap 35, Stewart was on Montoya’s bumper and Kurt Busch was gaining on both in third position. Stewart took the lead on Lap 37 and Busch hooked himself to Montoya’s bumper. At 50 laps, it was Stewart, Montoya, Busch, Gordon, Hamlin, Edwards, Johnson (all Chase contenders), then Stremme, Kahne ( another Chase contender) Truex, Reutimann and Martin, the points leader coming into the Loudon race. Four-time champion Gordon moved into third on Lap 65. Kasey Kahne brought out the first caution of the afternoon with a blown engine on Lap 66. It was tough luck for the Richard Petty Motors-

The true freshman juggled the ball to himself and eventually reeled it in for his first touchdown on his first career reception. “I didn’t think I was going to catch it,” Boyd said of his only reception Saturday. “The defender was kind of grabbing my jersey. It was a hard catch. When I bobbled it, I thought I was going to drop it and I was like, ‘No, I can’t.’ “ East Carolina tied the score at 14 thanks to a 6yard run by Dwayne Harris with 6:22 left in the half.

AROUND THE STATE

State seeks return of Yadkin River ﬂows Invaluable natural resource must be managed for public good TIMES STAFF REPORT RALEIGH – Gov. Bev Perdue today announced that the State of North Carolina has filed papers with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) seeking return of the right to plan the use of the Yadkin River flows and the Yadkin hydroelectric project for the benefit of the people of North Carolina. “Fifty years ago, we endorsed Alcoa’s request for a federal license to operate hydroelectric dams because the project created jobs for up to 1,000 North Carolinians,” said Gov. Bev Perdue. “Today, those jobs are gone, and so is the reason for the license.” “The State of North Carolina is responsible for the health and wellbeing of its citizens,” Perdue said. “Given the Yadkin River’s broad impact on the state, we believe strongly that the state is the most appropriate body to plan use of this invaluable natural resource, to help assure the region’s municipal water supply and quality and to facilitate future growth and development.” The Yadkin River Basin includes nearly a quarter of the state’s 100 counties, representing 17.5 percent of its population. The initial federal license for the Yadkin hydroelectric facilities, which expired in 2008, was granted more than 50 years ago to Alcoa Power Generating Inc. APGI developed a series of dam and hydroelectric plants to serve the industrial needs of its parent company, Alcoa Inc., namely, its aluminum smelting plant in nearby Badin, which required a significant amount of power. The facilities comprising the Yadkin Project have essentially determined how the Yadkin River flows have been used in the state for the past 100 years. In applying for its initial license, the company argued extensively that a 50-year federal license was needed to continue the company’s aluminum smelting operation in Badin- at the time, the principal industry serving

that part of North Carolina, which had created nearly 1,000 jobs for the area. The smelting plant closed in 2007, so the company no longer provides the socio-economic benefit to the region that was the basis for the state supporting the initial license. FERC is an independent agency empowered by the Federal Power Act to license the construction and operation of non-federal hydroelectric projects on the navigable waters of the United States, or that affect interstate commerce. The terms of Alcoa’s initial license specifically acknowledged the possibility of recapture of the license by the federal government, once the license expired. Despite the smelting facility closure, the company has sought to maintain control over the Yadkin River by seeking another 50-year license, to sell hydroelectric power generated from the Yadkin Project on the national market, without providing local benefit. The state also contends that Alcoa has created environmental problems that it has failed to address, and has thus not demonstrated good stewardship of the river that would warrant issuance of another license. The supporting papers filed by North Carolina include a detailed plan for the Yadkin region, proposed by the state, and legal comments, prepared by the departments of Commerce and Justice, respectively. The papers urge FERC to recommend to Congress that the Yadkin Project facilities under the nowlapsed license be sold to the federal government at the agreed upon price formula provided for under the Federal Power Act. If FERC and Congress agree, the state would obtain the Yadkin Project facilities and a license from FERC so that it could plan how the hydroelectric project would be operated. The state maintains that its papers demonstrate that it is the most appropriate steward for this vital resource. It proposes that the Yadkin River Project and the Yadkin River flows should be managed to accomplish the following purposes: • Adequate municipal water supply. Recent droughts (2008 and 2002) have demonstrated clearly the state’s vulnerabil-

Your Town. Your Times.

ity regarding adequate water supply. The state is best suited to help assure adequate municipal water supply through coordinated regional planning that best serves the public interest. • Availability of clean water resources in the region. Low flows arising from drought conditions concentrate pollutants, creating problems for humans and wildlife. Water quality issues arising from Alcoa’s industrial activities continue to raise concerns. The state believes Alcoa has failed to maintain the hydroelectric plant equipment in a manner that would reduce pollution and has concerns about past Alcoa plant operations that might pose ongoing threats to human health and the environment. • Long-term planning in the public interest. The state, with its longer-term perspective and mandate to balance competing needs for the public good, is well-equipped to plan for the region’s and the river basin’s infrastructure needs, including hydroelectric power; public health and the environment; clean, accessible water supplies for new and existing communities; and economic development, tourism and recreation – all public purposes -- on behalf of the citizens of North Carolina. The State’s plan may be viewed here: http://www. nccommerce.com/en/ AboutDOC/PublicationsReports/NCDeptCommercePublications/yadkinriverprojectpapers. htm.

State DOT reminds motorists to keep alert for deer in fall months TIMES STAFF REPORT

RALEIGH — To help decrease the number of wildlife related automobile crashes, the N.C. Department of Transportation reminds motorists to be aware of the increased presence of deer on North Carolina’s roads during fall months. More than 15,500 animal-related crashes are reported each year, 90 percent involving deer. Since 2006, the incidents have resulted in 3,236 injuries to people, of which 18 were fatal, and nearly $126 million in property damage. “Drivers need to stay focused and alert at all times, but especially this time of year when it is getting darker sooner and deer activity increases,” said NCDOT Director of Mobility and Safety Kevin Lacy. While a crash involv-

ing a deer can happen at any time, the majority of deer-vehicle collisions occur between the months of October and December, when deer activity increases due to the mating and hunting seasons. Crashes are most common during the hours of 5 p.m. to 7 a.m., when deer movement increases and limited lighting makes it more difficult for motorists to see them on or near roadways. Between 2006 and 2008, there were 56,732 animal-related collisions reported throughout North Carolina. The top five counties were Wake County (1,029 incidents), Guilford County (606), Duplin County (598), Rockingham County (533) and Pitt County (521). Wake County has had the most animal-related crashes for the past 8 years. NCDOT offers the following suggestions for

motorists to avoid being in a deer-vehicle collision: • Slow down in posted deer crossing areas and heavily wooded areas, especially during the late afternoon and evening. • Drive with high beams on, when possible, and watch out for eyes reflecting in the headlights. • Remember that deer often travel in groups, so do not assume that the road is clear if one deer has already passed. • Do not swerve to avoid contact with deer. This could cause the vehicle to flip or veer into oncoming traffic, causing a more serious crash. The North Carolina Animal-Related Crashes 2006–2008 data and county rankings can be found at http://www.ncdot.org/ doh/preconstruct/traffic/Safety/Data/crashdata.html under the “Quick Links” section.

The resolution reads, in part, “The High Point Market has gained a world-wide reputation as the premier place to experience the newest ideas in home furnishings.” “North Carolina has a great history in home furnishings and the centennial anniversary of the High Point Market demonstrates North Carolina’s great success story in the industry,” said Haga. “I represented High Point during my first two terms in the State Sen-
