Low-performing schools targeted BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – More tutoring and coaching lead the improvement lists for at least two High Point public schools, according to plans school officials approved Thursday. District officials prepared stronger plans to lift the performance of the county’s 10 lowest performing schools. Both Montlieu Math and Science Academy and T.W. Andrews started with new principals this year to guide the improvement plans. The Board of Education approved the 10 plans of a

List: These High Point area schools are among the district’s 10 low-performing schools: Fairview Elementary, Oak Hill Elementary, Montlieu Math and Science Academy, Parkview Elementary and T. Wingate Andrews High School. Standard: The performance composite is the percentage of students’ scores at or above grade level on all end-of-grade and end-of-course tests. A leading district goal is to have no low-performing schools by 2012. 9-0 vote. Students in the High Point University School of Education have formed a partnership with the Montlieu Academy to help boost school perfor-

mance with tutoring and enhancement projects, including science fairs, multicultural events and a book buddies program. Jill Hall, the school’s

new principal, will lead school staff toward these goals: By 2011, the school will increase the percentage of students in grades three to five scoring proficient or above in math by 30 percent to 88.6 percent; increase the percentage of students scoring proficient or above in reading by 28 percent to 48 percent on end-of grade test scores and improve discipline by cutting the number of office referrals from 30 percent to zero. Beth Folger, chief academic officer, said school officials will work to reduce class sizes and to seek community involvement.

WHO’S NEWS

“Community involvement was missing in earlier plans,” Folger said. Low-performing schools are those that failed to meet their expected growth standards and have less than 50 percent of their students’ scores at or above Achievement Level III. School districts must develop improvement plans for schools designated as low-performing by the state’s ABCs of Public Education. All of the 10 low-performing schools had performance composites below the district average

Bidding leaves Thomas Built in quandary BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Competition from a manufacturer re-entering the North Carolina school bus market could leave Thomas Built Buses on the outside looking in with its bids for state school buses. Georgia-based Blue Bird Corp. has submitted the lowest bid on a series of school buses that would be ordered through the state of North Carolina for the N.C. Department of Public Instruction, according to a state bid tabulation for conventional school and activity buses. “The bids are currently under evaluation, and the state has made no award at this point,” said Derek Graham, section chief with the Department of Public Instruction Transportation Services in Raleigh. High Point-based Thomas Built has received contracts to provide North Carolina public school buses in the past. A spokeswoman for

Maxine Guzman joined High Point University as instructor of mathematics in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. Guzman is responsible for teaching various math courses and working with students on improving their math skills.

During the past year, Thomas Built has laid off about 400 workers because of lagging orders due to the recession. Thomas Built said if the company doesn’t land contracts for North Carolina buses, it doesn’t automatically translate into layoffs of workers at the High Point operation. “Since the N.C. bid results were released and it appears that Thomas Built Buses will not be on the state menu, there has been a lot of employee speculation about whether layoffs would result. As part of our ongoing management of the business, we

are always analyzing current market demand and economic projections for 2010. At this point, there are no plans for a layoff,” said spokeswoman Maria McCullough. During the past year, Thomas Built has laid off about 400 workers because of lagging orders due to the recession and budget shortfalls confronted by state governments. North Carolina statutes require bids on a state contracts be awarded to

the lowest-priced qualifying bids. Blue Bird submitted bids on 62 items, which include buses and accessories, that total $70.6 million, compared to $78.9 million for Thomas Built Buses. The low bids on the upcoming purchase of state school and activity buses range from a minimum per vehicle of $68,284 to a maximum of $84,743, according to the bid tabulation. According to the state bid tabulation document,

Thomas Built Buses bids are several thousand dollars higher per vehicle, on average, than the low bid. In some cases, a Thomas Built bid is $10,000 higher per vehicle than the low bid. “The bidding process is the same as it has been. One thing that is different is that this is the first time in a number of years that we’ve gotten a bid from Blue Bird,” Graham said.

DENTON – If you have a love of bluegrass music, you won’t want to miss the gathering of fiddles and banjos that will be teeming at Denton FarmPark today and Saturday. More than 15 bands are slated to perform over the three days of the fourth annual FarmPark Bluegrass Festival, which opened Thursday with the tunes of The Wells Family. “The fans of bluegrass music like it so much because the bands are so personable,” Karen Miller, Denton FarmPark general manager, said of the festival. “They will come and talk to the fans.

Diebold lays off 80 at Lexington plant BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

LEXINGTON – Eighty employees will lose their jobs at Lexington’s Diebold plant, Lexington officials confirmed Thursday. Larry Beck, the city’s mayor pro tem, said Lexington officials received notification from the company Thursday that it will lay off the workers. He said the company’s letter did not indicate that the plant is closing. “It’s sad,” Beck said. “We’ve already had enough loss of jobs and industry here in Lexington and Davidson County anyway. It makes me very sad. We were kind of counting on them ... to add to their employment roll.” Lexington Mayor John Walser also was sad to hear the news of the layoffs. “It’s another manufacturing business that’s going out of business,” Walser said. “We just hate to lose

HIGH POINT – Mrs. Nancy Margurite Freeman Simmons, 81, formerly of 1803 Carolina St. died September 24th, 2009 at Evergreens Nursing Home in High Point. Mrs. Simmons was born July 27th, 1928 in Guilford County, a daughter to John R. and Ida Bean Freeman. A resident of this area all her life, she graduated in 1945 from High Point High School and was a member of Global Missions Church of High Point. She had worked at North State Telephone and Amos Hosiery Mill. In 1945 she married Andrew R. Simmons who survives of the home.

Television images showed the explosion blew the roofs of some buildings and demolished and overturned cars.

Diplomat: Post-9/11 embassies too big WARSAW, Poland – The outgoing U.S. ambassador to Poland criticized the “fortresslike” feel of American embassies built since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, saying Thursday that some are excessively expensive and send an unfriendly message to non-Americans. Victor Ashe is calling on U.S. authorities to reassess policies put in place after 9/11, which require equally tight security standards in both hot spots and places deemed much safer.

Squeezing the Taliban Officials: Suspected U.S. drone kills 4 in Pakistan MIR ALI, Pakistan (AP) – A suspected U.S. missile strike killed four people in northwestern Pakistan late Thursday, intelligence officials said – the latest in a spate of attacks close to the Afghan border that have squeezed al-Qaida and the Taliban. Such strikes have killed high-ranking militant commanders, including Pakistani Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud, but have also killed civilians and drawn protest from Pakistani leaders. Two intelligence officials said the strike took place near the town of Mir Ali in North Waziristan tribal region close to the Afghan border. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they

Despite Pakistani protests, Washington has shown no sign of abandoning the attacks. Many analysts believe Pakistani security agencies quietly provide intelligence for the strikes.

The border region provides Islamist militants with a safe haven from which they can stage attacks on foreign forces in Afghanistan. The mountainous, lawless area is also a breeding ground for the insurgents who launch near-daily attacks on Paki-

stan’s U.S.-backed government and security forces. Earlier Thursday, militants ambushed a convoy of tribal elders in the northwest, spraying their cars with gunfire and killing nine people, police said. The members of the

anti-Taliban citizens’ group were traveling from the Machikhel area to meet security officials in Bannu district when their three-vehicle convoy was attacked by insurgents, police officer Mohammad Ghani Khan said.

Small window for Afghan runoff, official warns KABUL (AP) – An election official warned Thursday that Afghanistan has a narrow two-week window in October to hold any presidential runoff before winter snows arrive – a somber reminder of how minor delays could leave a power vacuum well into next year.

But if enough votes are found to be fraudulent from an election mired in allegations of ballot stuffing and voter coercion, Karzai could dip below the 50 percent threshold needed to avoid a runoff with challenger Abdullah Abdullah.

Nonetheless, another proposal to shield seniors in Medicare private insurance plans from benefit cuts remained alive.

But with Democrats planning to finance an overhaul by cutting $500 billion from Medicare and Medicaid, many seniors are

In its third day of deliberations, the committee voted 13-10 to reject an amendment by Sen.

Three Democrats, Bob Menendez of New Jersey, Tom Carper of Delaware

Menendez and Carper warned that the amendment could undermine support for Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s push to cover the uninsured.

Thomasville’s slow reaction to spill was appalling The city of Thomasville’s response to a sewage spill that dwarfs the Exxon Valdez oil spill is almost as appalling as children swimming in 15.93 million gallons of raw sewage – laden with disease pathogens, bacteria, viruses, toxins and antibiotics that can cause serious illness, leave lesions and open festering sores. Utilities Director Morgan Huffman failed to adequately review plant data once the sewage spill was allegedly detected on Aug. 4 and grossly underreported the spill by 15 million gallons. Plant operator logs from July 16 and again on July 25, as well as sewage plant flow meters and internal SCADA data, all show plant data and plant employees documented a sewage spill. Huffman failed to tell media an EPA criminal investigation prompted the town to suddenly amend their report based on information first reported to Yadkin Riverkeeper from plant employees who claimed town officials were intentionally underreporting the spill. Thomasville City Manager Kelly Craver is reassuring the public all is well, but it is impossible to see fecal bacteria, disease pathogens or growing algae blooms that

could later cause fish kills or taint the taste and smell of Salisbury’s drinking water. Thomasville’s sewage is contributing to already declining water quality in High Rock Lake. We are grateful Thomasville has agreed to pay for water quality testing to determine if the water is safe to swim in, but town leaders must finish their own investigation, hold whoever is responsible accountable for their actions, provide the necessary funding to rehabilitate leaking sewage lines and develop new collection system designs to protect water quality and human health. The town also needs to hold a public hearing on High Rock Lake to allow citizens who have been impacted by this spill to get some answers. DEAN NAUJOKS Winston-Salem The writer is the Yadkin Riverkeeper. EDITOR’S NOTE: The above letter was written before Dean Lambeth, Thomasville’s maintenance and construction superintendent, resigned this week in connection with this incident.

Slavery by any other name is still slavery It is difficult to observe the financial and economic events of the recent two years without blaming our Congress for either causing them or overreacting in dealing with them. As recent retirees, my wife and I have a considerable stake in the consequences of their overreaction. We’ve experienced the same shock as many of our contemporaries in the 40 percent or worse drop in our long-acquired retirement assets. These same congressmen put us in debt to bail out and then gain control of those entities, whose ill-advised plans caused their greedy calculated risks to backfire. They attempt to spend us into prosperity with stimulus scams, because they know deep down that we, the consumer, hold the keys to national prosperity. Isn’t it our future tax revenues that they are giving us to spend? We’re hanging onto our money because we’re afraid of the future, and have no confidence in the

president or Congress. But, don’t worry, help is on the way. Government wants to manage our health care and freedom of choice as well. They “know what is best for me.” They’ll provide medical care, a home, car, food, maybe even a job. All I need do is accept them as my masters. Our Civil War was fought to end such nonsense. Let’s show Congress and our president to whom they must be accountable. After all, they work for us. CHUCK BINO High Point

YOUR VIEW POLL

OUR VIEW

he answer to a perplexing question we had last week regarding the huge Thomasville sewer spill in July and August became evident this week with the resignation of a city official responsible for sewer system operations. Dean Lambeth, the city’s superintendent of maintenance and construction, resigned when it was revealed that he had failed to act sufficiently July 31 when calls alerted the city to a possible sewer system leak. That sewage spill dumped an estimated nearly 16 millions gallons of raw sewage into North Hamby Creek, which flows into Abbotts Creek and on into High Rock Lake and the Yadkin River. Obviously, Lambeth – and maybe other Thomasville city employees – made serious mistakes in not thoroughly investigating the possibility of a sewage spill. A probe of the incident by environmental protection officials continues, and stiff fines for the city could loom. Fortunately, no serious health problems have been linked to the incident, so far. But one concern is that impacts from such spills many times aren’t apparent until months later. This incident has, however, pushed Thomasville leaders more rapidly toward efforts to improve the city’s overall sewer system. The system is aging and Thomasville has grown during the last several years, adding to the daily sewage flow. This week, city officials met with engineers to examine the system and determine work that needs to be done. Monday, Yadkin Riverkeeper Dean Naujoks asked Thomasville’s City Council to commit to spending $10 million to improve the city’s system. But who knows? Needed system improvements may be estimated at even more than that. And if so, Thomasville officials have no choice but to find a way to pay for them.

Beware of new scam to steal veterans’ information

recent memo from Department of Veterans Affairs is warning veterans not to give credit card numbers over the phone to callers claiming to update VA prescription information. Dr. Gerald Cross, VA’s Under Secretary of Health says: “America’s veterans have become targets in an inexcusable scam that dishonors their service and misrepresents the department built for them. VA simply does not call veterans and ask them to disclose personal financial information over the phone.” Cross also says, “VA has not changed procedures for dispensing prescriptions.” Veterans with questions about VA services should contact the nearest VA Medical Center or call toll-free 1-877-222-8387. It is distressing when we hear about scams like this. The VA serves millions of veterans, their obligation to veterans increases minute by minute. I have noticed when I go the Winston-Salem VA Clinic the staff does an outstanding job of moving the crowds through there. These folks have a very stressful job, and I certainly appreciate all they do to help veterans. A new study finds that combat veterans are at risk of hypertension. The study shows that military veterans with repeated tours of combat are more likely to have high blood pressure than noncombat veterans. The study of 36,000 servicemen and servicewomen showed those with multiple combat exposures were 33 percent more likely than other military personnel to have high blood pressure. An abstract of the study is available on the Web site of the journal Hypertension. We are not too many weeks away from Veterans Day, Nov. 11. I have been thinking maybe we should have “Proud to be

an American Day” in High Point. I wonder how many folks have thought we need to spend more time being good Americans. There are many young people out there who give their time helping others, and I want to thank each VETERAN’S of them for helping High Point to be a better place in which VIEWS to live. I know our country, state, Stan county and city are in an Spangle Sr. economic downturn, but we ■■■ still have so much to be thankful for. I am very thankful that America is still the greatest nation on Earth. If it is not, why are so many people anxious to come to America to live? Again, I would recommend to any young person, if you have no plans to continue your education after high school, think about joining the military service. It is a great opportunity to serve your country and learn a trade. While actively serving, you can continue your education and when you are discharged you can become a full-time student, if you choose, and the G.I. Bill will be available for schooling. Our next veterans luncheon at Highland United Methodist Church will be 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Oct. 3. We have invited a guest speaker, and we invite all veterans to join us for a few hours of friendly discussion. Our church is located at 1015 Mill St., in the southwest section of High Point. God bless America and all other nations. Semper Fi. STAN SPANGLE SR. is a 21-year veteran of the Marine Corps, serving in Korea and Vietnam. He’s a member of numerous veterans organizations.

The Ark of the Covenant inhabited then Holy of Holies. Only the presence of God was missing. So Solomon prays, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Arise, O Lord, to Your resting placeâ&#x20AC;?

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no great challenge to keep your chin up when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re flat on your back, but take a moment to appreciate an improving economic indicator. North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jobless rate is in decline. Still. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stillâ&#x20AC;? probably counts for more than the statistic: a tenth of a percent in August. In context, it looks even worse. Unemployment is still 10.8 percent. High numbers of jobless have often been linked to social unrest. In

China, whose rate is better than ours, officials are openly talking about it. What makes the scant improvement noteworthy is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the third drop in three months. In May, the rate was at an alarming high of 11.1 percent. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing reassuring about 10.8, either, but the trend is in the right direction. These gains are not tidily distributed across the work force. They rest heavily on newly created government jobs. More than 20,000 of those were added in August. The construc-

tion sector added 1,500. For others, the news was either bad or unchanged. Fayetteville is fortunate to be on the beneficial end of some of that unevenness. Barring an economic reversal, that seems unlikely to change, given the steady growth on and around Fort Bragg. Celebrations on Main Street, as analysts have been saying for months, lie far in the future. But at this point last year the future was a thing to dread. That we now dare to hope counts for something.

Area where census worker died has troubled history BIG CREEK, Ky. (AP) – A census worker found hanged from a tree with the word “fed” scrawled on his chest met his end in a corner of Appalachia

The death occurred in impoverished Clay County, one of the poorest in the country. with an abundance of meth labs and marijuana fields – and a reputation for mistrusting government that dates back to the days of moonshiners and “revenuers.” But the investigation has yet to determine

whether the death of the 51-year-old part-time schoolteacher represents real anti-government sentiment. At this point, police cannot say whether Bill Sparkman’s death was a homicide, an accident or even a suicide. “We are not downplaying the significance of his position with the U.S. Census bureau,” said Capt. Lisa Rudzinski, commander of the Kentucky State Police post in London. But locals are already bracing for suggestions that the killing was the result of anti-government sentiment in the mountains. It does not help that the death occurred in impoverished Clay County, one of the poorest in the country with an unemployment rate of 14.5 percent.

Probe: School drinking water contains toxins

Lucy Wagers stands at the checkout counter of her grocery store near the Hoskins Cemetery in rural Clay County near Manchester, Ky., Thursday. It was near this cemetery census worker Bill Sparkman was found earlier this month.

CUTLER, Calif. (AP) – Over the last decade, the drinking water at thousands of schools across the country has been found to contain unsafe levels of lead, pesticides and dozens of other toxins. An Associated Press investigation found that contaminants have surfaced at public and private schools in all 50 states – in small towns and inner cities alike. But the problem has gone largely unmonitored by the federal government, even as the number of water safety violations has multiplied. “It’s an outrage,” said Marc Edwards, an engineer at Virginia Tech.

Kennedy signed it Aug. 25, 2006 – exactly three years before he died.

HIGH POINT – Jeff and Letia Bates know what it’s like to plant a seed and watch it grow. That’s what the couple, both raised in the Republic of Liberia in West Africa, where their families ate fresh vegetables from the garden each day, are hoping to do with the former Canterbury’s. Renamed Tia at Canterbury’s, they opened the restaurant’s doors to the public this week after it closed more than four years ago. The restaurant is part of the old Westchester Mall complex, which was bought by First Wesleyan Church in December 1996. The restaurant space has served as a rental facility to various catering services and organizations since closing in 2005. It currently operates 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday. On its grand opening, scheduled for Oct. 16, the restaurant will open to the public for lunch and dinner hours, and it will take reservations for private parties. “It’s important that we can accommodate both in a space this size,” said Jeff Bates about the restaurant’s 12,000 square feet. The grand opening begins at 11 a.m. and offers food and wine tastings. Mayor Becky Smothers will be present at a ribboncutting ceremony at 11:30 a.m. The couple hope to draw the High Point community back into the restaurant, which was slightly rede-

Proceeds from training classes go toward cause BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – If you ask local businesses what’s more important – making their companies stronger or contributing to the efforts to eradicate a disease that once plagued millions – most will give the same answer. “It’s a win-win opportunity to do both,” said Darlene Leonard, a partner with Smith Leonard PLLC. The company is one of many to sign up for a full day of business-training classes offered on Oct. 19 by Sandler Training, with all proceeds going to the local Rotary District 7690’s efforts to eradicate polio. The event will be held at the Koury Convention Center in Greensboro. The classes cost $199 and are valued at $2,500 by Sandler. Businesses can register until Oct. 9. A Rotary International effort, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has pledged $355 million if the organization raises a total of $200 million. Cecil Williams with the High Point Rotary Club said there continues to be cases of polio report-

ed in Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and Nigeria. He said the district had raised $107,000 out of the $200,000 that each is expected to bring in. Abby Donnelly, a Rotarian who works for Sandler Training, helped organize the event because she said it impacts the local business community as well as individuals in other nations who can’t afford polio vaccinations. “We see this as a great opportunity to give back,” Donnelly said. “We can help raise tens of thousands of dollars to eradicate polio. We will also see benefits in our business community. By developing our work force, we create stronger leadership, stronger businesses and stronger communities – and that’s good for us all.” Leonard said the company would send a mix of employees to the event, where they would partake in sales and leadership classes. “It’s a really good value to get a full day of training for that price,” she said. If Rotary International accomplishes its goal, it would be the second time in history that a disease was eradicated worldwide. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Pension fund chief didn’t resign RALEIGH (AP) – The chief investment officer of North Carolina’s public pension funds was removed from her job after she chose not to resign her post managing $60 billion. The State Treasurer’s Office disclosed the information Thursday in response to a public records request about

last month’s departure of Patricia Gerrick. Treasurer Janet Cowell’s office said Aug. 25 Gerrick had resigned after five years on the job. But a Sept. 9 memo by Cowell said she removed Gerrick because Gerrick decided in early September not to resign. Cowell’s memo

Father-to-be awaits babies with wife, mistress

Dear Double-Whammied: None of this is the fault of your grandchildren, so think with your hearts and treat them equally. Forgive me if this seems pessimistic, but from your description of your son’s behavior, I seriously doubt that his marriage to Karla is going to last. So don’t worry about not having met Sarah. If he continues to spend the lion’s share of his time with her, the chances are good that you’ll be seeing quite a bit of her in the future.

Dear Abby: “Robert” and I have been married for 10 years. ADVICE A few months Dear ago I Abby discov■■■ ered that he’d had an affair. He says it was because he felt I didn’t love him anymore and we weren’t communicating. I have never stopped loving him. The funny thing is, I felt the same way he did – upset that he was spending more time away from home. We’re now trying to work things out, but it’s hard for me. I keep learning more information about their relationship, and it breaks my heart all over again. I know who she is and what she looks like. I’ll be seeing this woman at a bridal shower soon and later on this fall at a wedding. Robert says she doesn’t know what I look like. I am tempted to pretend to be someone else and quiz her about their relationship. I’m just so lost. I want to let all of this go and move on, but I haven’t been able to. How do I handle the upcoming events with her? I love Robert, and he’s trying to make things right. – Broken and Lost in Illinois

Dear Broken and Lost: Are you masochistic? You know about the affair; you and Robert are trying to work things out. So quit digging because whatever you unearth will only prolong your pain and insecurity. Your time would be better spent on improving the level of communication you have with your husband. And if you’re afraid you’ll fall apart or do something inappropriate at the sight of his former love, then my advice is to skip the festivities. Dear Abby: Dinner guests customarily bring gifts of wine to their hosts. The host offers wine with the dinner. If a second bottle is desired, which wine would be used – more from the host or is it better etiquette to open and serve the gift wine? – Bill in Bend, Ore. Dear Bill: It is not considered a breach of etiquette to keep the gift wine for use at another time, and the guest who brings it should not expect it to be served. (The same goes for candy and nuts, which are also popular house gifts.) DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

ear Abby: Our son, “Philip,” has been married for two years. He recently informed his wife, “Karla,” that one of his co-workers – I’ll call her Sarah – is pregnant with his child. Philip says he still loves Karla and wants to stay together, but he feels an obligation to the other child. Karla is now pregnant with their first baby. The problem is, Philip is spending most of his time at Sarah’s home caring for her, and very little time with his wife. My wife and I don’t know how we should handle the relationship with the two grandchildren. What are our obligations to each? Should we treat them both the same? By the way, my wife and I have never met Sarah. – DoubleWhammied in Pennsylvania

Data-storage firm to add nearly 400 jobs RALEIGH (AP) – Data storage equipment maker EMC Corp. said it will add about 400 jobs, build a new research center and expand existing operations in North Carolina if it receives expected incentives. Gov. Bev Perdue’s office said Thursday that EMC was offered up to $7.4 million in state incentives over nine years if the data storage technology provider creates the jobs, invests $280 million, and pays wages averaging more than $73,000 per year. 481949

Mental Health Association holds auction

Answer: Keeping your feeders up and full will not keep the birds from migrating. Remember, they eat lots of protein in their diets too, and that doesn’t come from sugar feeders. They need insects. Shortened days, not lack of food, will tell the hummingbirds when to begin their journey. Leave the feeders up at least three weeks after seeing your last bird. This will help migrating birds that pass through your area. It is important to leave your feeders up and full. Migrating birds need all the quick and easy nourishment they can find to sustain the incredible energy demands of migration. It is vital that hummingbirds fatten up for their extended trips, particularly those crossing the Gulf of Mexico. MASTER GARDENERS will answer questions

The Importance of Nutrition and Exercise

Good nutrition and exercise are two of the most important things that your body needs, in order for you to live a long and happy life. Fitness of the body is when you are in a healthy physical state, and nutrition is the intake of the proper foods you need to stay healthy. In order to maintain a healthy balance, a person needs to make sure all their bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs are being met in both categories. Today in the United States there is a growing number of people who are overweight. Obesity is the excessive storage of fat in the body. This extra fat that is stored increases a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chance of having life-threatening diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. All of these conditions can be fatal, but currently today heart disease is the number one cause of death in American adults. In order to prevent these and other problems and to live for as long as possible, getting enough exercise and eating a good diet are crucial. A diet that is low in fat, especially â&#x20AC;&#x153;trans fats,â&#x20AC;? and high in whole grains lowers the risks of these diseases, too. Fitness and exercise go hand in hand. In order to be ďŹ t, one must exercise. Exercise is when someone regularly uses their body in a physical activity, such as walking, jogging, swimming, or playing soccer. Exercise comes in many, many different forms. Some people prefer to go to a gym, while others like to hike outdoors or go dancing. Men and women over the age of 18 need at least thirty minutes of exercise ďŹ ve times a week. Children and teenagers under the age of 18 need at least an hour of physical activity a day. In order to maintain proper nutrition, foods from each of the six groups should be consumed each day. All the nutrients a person needs can be found in grains (particularly whole grains), fruits, vegetables, milk or dairy (calcium), meat and beans, and oils. Fruits provide antioxidants that ďŹ ght cancer, while meats provide iron and protein. Calcium is necessary for strong bones, and the whole grains are heart healthy!

Huge California wildfire on verge of containment LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE, Calif. – A crow as black as the branch it’s perched on oversees a skeleton forest. Farther along Angeles Crest Highway, a hawk riding updrafts along the San Gabriel Mountains finds only ashen slopes. These are the rare signs of life in some 250 square miles of the Angeles National Forest in the aftermath of a fire that is finally on the verge of complete containment more than a month after it began. Vast areas have been left utterly barren or transformed into stick-figure worlds in which remnants of shrubs look like charcoal drawings and oncevibrant green pines have been baked into shades of khaki and dun. Islands of somehow untouched growth are reminders of how thick the forest had grown over

decades, and the sudden sound of a blue jay flitting through a tree emphasizes how quiet it has become without the buzzing of bugs, the chirping of squirrels or the whine of a distant motorcycle accelerating out of a hairpin turn. Fire commanders hoped to declare the fire fully surrounded Thursday evening. The declaration was repeatedly pushed back in recent days with the onset of the seasonal fall Santa Ana winds – hot and extremely dry gusts that whipped up smoke plumes and fanned a 20acre spot fire within the forest this week. The Santa Anas also spread new fires elsewhere in Southern California, including a 25-square-mile blaze in Ventura County agricultural country 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

A truck drives past burned trees in the Angeles National Forest near Los Angeles, Thursday. Vast areas have been left utterly barren or transformed into stick-figure worlds in which remnants of shrubs look like charcoal drawings and once-vibrant green pines have been baked into shades of khaki and dun. Full containment of the giant Angeles National Forest blaze won’t mean there are no more flames within the burn area, but hotspots should not spread. Ignited by a still-unsolved arson on Aug. 26, the fire grew to more than

160,500 acres as it threatened foothill suburbs northeast of Los Angeles and indefinitely closed a wilderness backyard for millions. Two firefighters died, 89 homes burned and a huge amount of forest infrastructure was destroyed.

Teen arrested in arson investigation damage was minimal, that erupted near the city said Doug McKain, a unit Yucaipa and was booked chief with the California into Juvenile Hall. The district attorney’s Department of Forestry office was awaiting reports, and no charges had been filed, said spokeswoman Susan Mickey. She said it had not been determined whether the teen would enter the juvenile or adult court systems. The Sheriff’s Department said deputies responding to a report of arson were told by witand Fire Protection. The youth, whose name nesses that a youth had was withheld because left the Yucaipa fire loof his age, was arrested cation on a bicycle. The Wednesday near a fire deputies searched the

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) – A 16-year-old boy arrested for investigation of arson is under investigation in connection with more than a dozen Southern California wildfires, authorities said Thursday. The fires had a “commonality,” but investigators were not releasing any details of how they might be connected, San Bernardino County sheriff’s spokeswoman Jodi Miller said. None of the fires involved in the investigation led to serious injuries or death, and property

Sheriff’s spokeswoman Arden Wiltshire said the youth was cooperating with investigators. “Through perseverance, swift response and determination this arson siege has been brought to an end,” McKain said. Fire spokesman Bill Peters said the 347-acre Yucaipa fire was 60 percent contained.

The fire burned away traffic signs and wooden posts holding up guardrails along forest highways with perilously steep dropoffs. Boulders rolling off bare mountainsides require trucks with plows to constantly patrol to keep roads clear

for work crews and repair vehicles. The California Department of Transportation has already put out $12 million in emergency contracts for urgent work such as replacing guardrails – using metal posts this time.

How low should cholesterol go?

ear Dr. Donohue: Please inform me if my cholesterol is too low at 106 mg/dL (2.7 mmol/L). Everything else is normal. I am taking cholesterol-lowering medicine, and I have lost weight and am exercising. Should I stay on the medication or what? – L.B.

BLONDIE

For most of us, a total cholesterol reading of 200 mg/dL (5.2 mmol/L) is the goal. Your reading is very low. Digestive-tract illnesses that interfere with food absorption, an overactive thyroid gland and a familial trait are some of the things that lower cholesterol. Some cancers do it, too. You have no signs of those illnesses, and they are not likely explanations for your value. Your medicine, diet and exercise lowered it. Most likely, the low cholesterol reading isn’t a sign of trouble. The next hurdle to jump over is the significance of very low LDL cholesterol, bad cholesterol. An LDL reading of less than 100 (2.6) is a suggested goal for most. For those with serious heart disease, a value of 70 (1.8) or slightly lower is desirable. Recent publications have suggested that a very low LDL might be associated with a higher risk for coming down with cancer. Out of 1,000 people with a very low LDL, there was one more unexpected case of cancer than in the control group. This isn’t proof of cause and effect. It requires further investigation. You didn’t say what your LDL cholesterol was but with your total cholester-

ol so low, the LDL cholesterol also must be quite low. You need to talk to your docHEALTH tor. I am pretty sure Dr. Paul the doctor Donohue will suggest ■■■ a vacation from your cholesterol medicine. Dear Dr. Donohue: Four years ago, I had extensive blood clots in the veins of both legs. They are still swollen, and the skin is dark looking. Doctors say there is nothing that they can do. They say the valves in my veins are harmed. I would appreciate anything you can tell me about this. – C.W. You have postphlebetic (post-flea-BET-ik) syndrome, a common aftermath of leg vein clots. The vein clots stretched your veins out of shape. Their valves have become ineffective. Let me explain. It’s a major engineering feat to return blood from the legs to the heart. It’s effectively done because of vein valves. As blood trickles upward in the veins, valves close to prevent it from flowing back down. Without working valves, blood does flow back down. The legs swell because the fluid part of blood oozes into the leg tissues. The swelling disrupts circulation to the legs’ skin. It becomes mottled and can develop sores. Nothing can restore the valves. You can help matters by elevating your legs as

often as you can during the day. To be effective, elevation means lying on your back with pillows propping your legs up. Compression stockings help. The best are the kind whose greatest compression is in the feet and ankles, with less compression at their tops. Dear Dr. Donohue: How could you? With all the inflammatory diseases, cancers, cardiac disease, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure and diabetes killing off the oversized American public, and with all the impurities, bacteria, viruses, carcinogens, antibiotics and hormones in farmed meats and all the hydrogenated oils and high-fructose corn syrup in packaged food, how could you advise people that they get enough protein in meat and dairy products? Your misinformation is a disservice to the public. Beans are the best protein sources. Go vegan. – D.S. It is a delight and a rare privilege to hear from an expert in nutrition and the American diet. If you choose to eschew meat, that’s your right. Meat and dairy are the best sources of protein. One chicken breast has 25 to 30 grams; 3 ounces of tuna has about 20 grams; one glass of milk, 7.5 grams. You can get all your protein from plants if you wish. One cup of baked beans has 14 grams; half a cup of kidney beans, 6 grams; a cup of lima beans, 14.7 grams. You do your thing. Let others do theirs. Dietary zealotry is annoying.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Authorities say an arrest warrant has been issued for actor Randy Quaid and his wife claiming they skipped out on a $10,000 hotel bill in Santa Barbara County. Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spokesman

Photo released by the National Museum of American History shows costume elements including Simbaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stylized lion mask and headdress and the costume, custom shoes and hat designed for Rafiki from â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lion King.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lion Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; costumes head to Smithsonian WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Producers of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lion Kingâ&#x20AC;? musical are donating two of the Broadway showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elaborate costume pieces to the Smithsonianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Museum of American History. On Thursday, museum officials accepted Simbaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mask and the costume for tribal shaman and show

narrator Rafiki to be placed in the entertainment history collection. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in rare company among about 50 objects from Broadway, including costumes from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hello, Dolly!,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fiddler on the Roof,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rentâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cats.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have Rafiki next to Dolly Levi.

Phillips hopes incest memoir helps others NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am sharing my truth,â&#x20AC;? says Mackenzie Phillips, â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the hope that it helps other incest survivors.â&#x20AC;? But just how true is her new book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;High on Arrivalâ&#x20AC;?? In this explosive new memoir, she defends her father, the Mamas and the Papas leader Phillips John Phillips, as a good man while claiming they had an incestuous affair that, over time, became consensual. Two of her stepmothers, including Mamas and Papas singer Michelle Phillips, say she is lying and

just trying to cash in with her book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love my stepmother Michelle,â&#x20AC;? Mackenzie Phillips responded in a statement Thursday, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but she is having the textbook family reaction to accusations of incest: deny that

Sunday fundraiser to help ‘do-anything-for-you’ guy BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

eonard Claybrooks has made a lot of friends during his bartending days at The Red Lion, and right now he needs them more than ever. Claybrooks, 33, has been diagnosed with sarcoidosis – the same chronic lung condition that contributed to comedian Bernie Mac’s death last year – and Type 2 diabetes. His illness has presented both physical and financial challenges to Claybrooks, Claybrooks prompting friends to plan a fundraiser in his honor this weekend. “I’ve known Leonard for nine or 10 years now, and he’s just a good, honest, do-anything-for-you kind of guy,” says local musician Davis Tucker, who’s helping organize the fundraiser. “But he’s just in dire straits right now, so we’re all trying to pull together as a community and help him as much as we can.”

A benefit concert for Leonard Claybrooks will be held Sunday, from 7 p.m. until closing, at The Red Lion, 2107 Kirkwood St. The lineup of bands includes Triad Rock Project; Tuck, Papatop & Shannon; 44 Love; Pimp Daddy Band; Big Daddy Love; Regal Slone; Tuck, Vern & Norm; and the Gary Redd Band. There will also be a hot dog supper and a raffle of cakes and other items. Admission is $10 at the door. For more information, call The Red Lion at 889-6679. The event, which will feature eight bands performing live – as well as a hot dog supper and a raffle of various items – will be held Sunday, beginning at 7 p.m., at The Red Lion. “The Red Lion is normally not even open on Sundays, but this is

a special occasion,” Tucker says. Admission to the benefit is $10. According to Tucker, Claybrooks bartended at the Kirkwood Street nightclub to put himself through school, graduating from Brookstone College with a business degree. He’s been unable to work since his sarcoidosis diagnosis a couple of months ago. “He’s been in and out of the hospital over the past couple of months,” Tucker says. “He went in with what he thought was pneumonia, and it was discovered he has sarcoidosis. There’s no cure for it, but they have been able to treat it somewhat.” According to Tucker, Claybrooks has applied for Emergency Medicaid funds to help cover his medical costs. In the meantime, though, his friends are rallying around him to help as much as they can. “He’s the kind of guy who would try to help anybody,” Tucker says, “so now we’re trying to help him.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Participants in previous Memory Walk join together for common purpose – to defeat Alzheimer’s.

Memory Walk provides funds, hope for people with Alzheimer’s BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – As the annual Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk approaches this weekend, there’s reason for hope. “There are a lot of new medications out there that are delaying the full-blown Alzheimer’s in its later stages,” says Jenna Schwartzmeyer, events and volunteer coordinator for the Western Carolina Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. “There’s a lot of research being done that’s pushing toward finding a cure. We’re definitely making strides. There’s one study showing that drinking caffeine can help your chances of not having Alzheimer’s.” Funds raised during Saturday’s Memory Walk at High Point University – one of 10 such walks this fall in western North Carolina – will help continue such valuable research, Schwartzmeyer says. “This is our signature event for the Alzheimer’s Association,” she says. “It brings both awareness and funds to the association for research, support services and respite care.”

INTERESTED?

----

High Point’s annual Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk will be held Saturday morning at High Point University, beginning and ending in front of the Millis Athletic/Convocation Center. Registration begins at 9 a.m., and the approximately onemile walk will begin at 10 a.m. The fundraising goal for the walk is $30,000. For more information, call the Western Carolina Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association at (704) 532-7390 or visit www. alz.org/northcarolina. While a percentage of the proceeds will go to the national Alzheimer’s Association for research purposes, the majority of funds raised during Saturday’s walk will stay in North Carolina to provide services, according to Schwartzmeyer. “We have professional and public education programs, as well as conferences that we offer all across western North Carolina,” she says. “We have a 24-hour help line, and

we also do patient referrals.” The High Point Memory Walk will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday – with registration beginning at 9 a.m. – in front of the Millis Athletic/Convocation Center on the HPU campus. The walk will be a little longer than a mile, and refreshments will be available to participants following the walk, Schwartzmeyer says. Last year’s walk raised approximately $31,000, and the goal for this year’s walk is $30,000, according to Schwartzmeyer. Approximately 125 walkers are expected to participate, she adds. Alzheimer’s disease continues to be a growing epidemic that is now the seventh-leading cause of death in the United States, according to figures provided by the Alzheimer’s Association. It is estimated that someone in the United States develops Alzheimer’s disease every 70 seconds, and by mid-century someone will develop the disease every 33 seconds. In North Carolina, it is projected that in 2010 nearly 160,000 people will have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Friday, Sept. 25, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Catherine Zeta-Jones, 40; Will Smith, 41; Scottie Pippen, 44; Heather Locklear, 48 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Get involved with people and things that have meaning for you. Let the old, outdated and impossible people and pastimes go. This is a time to reach your own goals. Accomplishing your goals will lead to peace of mind. If you feel good about who and where you are in life, you will do well in the future. Your numbers are 5, 7, 18, 24, 27, 36, 41 ARIES (March 21-April 19): If someone is giving you a difficult time, acknowledge the problem but don’t fight back. Find a suitable solution when you are in a better position to address this situation. Spend time developing something worth your while. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t be fooled by someone trying to divert you from following through with a plan or endeavor that is good for you. Jealousy may be causing the conflict. An investment in something you believe in will be worth every penny you spend. ★★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): An event you attend may lead to emotional confusion. Expect to be caught in the act if you are too flirtatious. A change of heart may be what’s causing your indiscretion. Rethink your current situation. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t worry about being drawn into something that may be different from what you are used to. The change will do you good and introduce you to people who can enrich your life. It’s time to make some personal changes. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Before you jump into something based on your emotions, consider the consequences. Temptation is apparent and, if you give in, you will have regrets. Nothing is as it appears even if you desperately feel like being adventuresome and playful. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make your decisions based on your needs, not someone else’s. If you aren’t happy with your choices you will have difficulty getting along with the people you deal with most. Volunteering your services will lead to something tangible in the future. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take one of your ideas that you think is trendy yet serviceable and develop it. You will get interest if you present what you want to do to someone with a suitable outlet. A friendship that develops may not be as good for you as you first thought. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Staying cooped up at home will lead to disgruntled behavior. You need a change of scenery, friends or activities to feel alive and to jumpstart your creativity. A trip can help you find peace of mind. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Stay on top of personal matters. You can easily give someone the wrong impression if you are too flirtatious. A change in your current status is likely to leave you wondering what to do next. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Complete deals and meet deadlines and you can ease your stress and settle a pending situation. You can make a difference to someone incapable of doing something alone. Your money management skills can help you build greater assets. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are better off waiting for others to make the first move. If you think big and act fast, you will have regrets. Don’t let anyone talk you into giving, donating or helping a cause you know little about. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll be caught in the middle if you meddle. You may want to help out or feel compelled to get involved in something that doesn’t concern you but, if you do, there will be no turning back. Focus on fun not interfering. ★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

It’s dangerous to put too much faith in Lady Luck: She dislikes working double shifts. Today’s North-South pushed their luck in the bidding, reaching a so-so slam. West helped out a little by leading the ace of clubs, but after South won the next club with the king and discarded a heart, he still had only 11 tricks. He took the K-Q of trumps, cashed the ace of hearts and finessed with the jack – and Lady Luck resigned: West produced the queen for down one. How would you play six spades without making Lady Luck work overtime?

TWO CHANCES Good players try to make their own luck. South gave himself one chance when two were available. After he draws trumps in two rounds, he should take the K-A of hearts. If the queen fell, South would be home. When instead both defenders play low hearts, South still has a chance: He tries for his 12th trick by leading a diamond to finesse with his jack. With average luck he wins six trumps, three diamonds, two hearts and a club.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S J 7 H Q 10 4 D 8 7 6 5 C A Q J 4. Your partner opens one spade, you respond 1NT and he bids two diamonds. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: Your 1NT response was reasonable but conservative. (In some systems, a response of two clubs would have promised more values.) Now your options are a timid return to two spades, a raise to three diamonds or a bid of 2NT. I’d choose 2NT, which aims toward the most likely game. North dealer Neither side vulnerable

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

Italian police seize mafia boss’ pet crocodile ROME (AP) – Here’s another of the Mafia’s trademark offers-youcan’t-refuse: pay or be eaten by a crocodile. Italy’s anti-Mafia police unit said Wednesday it has seized a crocodile used by an alleged Naples mob boss to intimidate local businessmen from whom he demanded protection money. Officers searching for

weapons in the man’s home outside the southern Italian city last week found the crocodile living on his terrace, said police official Sergio Di Mauro. The crocodile, weighing 40 kilograms (88 pounds) and 1.7 meters (5.6 feet) long, was fed a diet of live rabbits and mice, Di Mauro said. He said the suspect, an alleged boss in the

Naples-based Camorra crime syndicate, used to invite extortion victims to his home and threaten to set the animal on them if they didn’t pay or grant him favors. The man was not arrested but placed under investigation for illegal possession of an animal, Di Mauro said. Investigators are also working on extortion charges against him.

Persistence – it’s the only thing that works A

seems interested but hasn’t committed. This is what I tried to teach my teenager, who just made a lazy and hardly serious effort to find a job when, in these times, he’s literally competing A DAD’S with adults who are looking for minimum wage POINT filler jobs. OF VIEW He understands very well that he won’t be Bruce allowed to drive, since Sallan he’s turning 16 soon, ■■■ unless he meets a couple of conditions. First, he must maintain a B average, as insurance rates for teen boys with less than a B average are significantly higher. Second, he must contribute to the cost of his driving by earning money – whether in the form of a part-time job, or an entrepreneurial effort. I’ve hoped that some of my recent success in starting a second career would inspire him, along with my frequent lectures on making more of an effort. But, we know how teens tune us out, and he’s had the mute switch turned on for quite some time. The part I truly don’t understand is that Will, like most American teen boys before him, especially in Southern California, can’t wait to drive and gain the independence it brings. He also fantasizes about getting his own car, knowing we won’t be giving him a designer BMW on his birthday like

recent e-mail from my oldest friend, a college professor, stimulated me to reflect on how we search and find work, as well as in small business how we promote and sell ourselves. On this subject, I’ve observed my teen son’s failed efforts to find a summer job. And, finally, I’ve thought about my own recent efforts in designing and launching my own Web site (www.brucesallan.com). For me, throughout my life, there was only one thing that worked, and it was persistence. I believe, especially in our present economic times, persistence is the primary thing that works. My old friend the professor had a whole list of very sharp suggestions on how I could better brand (contemporary slang for identifying yourself or your company, as with Nike’s swoosh) my site, my work, and myself. They ranged from hiring a consultant to doing informational interviewing, as well as developing an “elevator speech” (means exactly what you’d expect – a short enough description of your work that could be told in an elevator ride), and much more. As I read and digested his suggestions, I was struck by the fact that my initial reaction was “this is just too much work” and “I like my style better.” And, what is my style? It’s in-yourface persistence. It’s not taking “No” for an answer and not letting my ego get in the way of following up, repeatedly, on warm leads, to quote my wife’s real estate term for someone who

too many parents do in our somewhat upscale area. He knows that he has to have the grades and has to have the income even to have the privilege, and I emphasize that word, to borrow one of our cars. But, his efforts on both counts lack the persistence that I’m advocating. I don’t want to praise immodestly my own recent efforts, but they are good examples of exactly how it works and what I mean when I say that persistence works. I decided to become a writer, a columnist, at a time when the newspaper business is struggling on a scale that competes with our major car companies’ struggles, as well as a time when Internet magazines and papers haven’t fully figured out a profitable model. In spite of these obstacles, I’ve been fortunate enough to secure a large number of papers and Web sites to carry my work. It took thousands of email promotional messages and many hundreds of follow-ups to the “warm” respondents to get here. I’m proud that in a relatively short time, I have a large national presence and a growing international one (I am carried on sites in the United Kingdom, Canada, and India, with one in Australia beginning soon). If I allowed my impatience, ego, or pride to intrude, I’d be back at square one, staring at my computer screen and wishing for results. My son quit at round one, with a few applications at a few places, eliminating those jobs

he didn’t like by not applying, and not aggressively following up on most, if not all of those where he did apply. As a result, he didn’t get a job nor has he figured a way to do odd jobs or other income-producing tasks in our neighborhood. He won’t be driving when he turns 16, and that lesson is essential regardless of how bad it makes him feel. As his parents, we must not give in to his hurt feelings or feel bad when his friends are given more license, so to speak. I can’t motivate him beyond what I’ve already offered, and that is the part of being his dad that is so frustrating, since I so want him to benefit from my failures and successes, but I also know he’s got to learn himself and that these harsher lessons will teach him much better than any of my lectures. But, I will continue to be persistent in my message to him, continue to try and teach him even when I see the mute button is on, and hope that everyone might learn from my assertion that it’s persistence that works best in finding a job, completing a task, or even pursuing a romantic partner.

Enrollment has fallen at some private performing arts schools and endowments have lost value, said Roger Shoemaker, associate head for the arts at the boarding school Walnut Hill in Natick, Mass. He said families under financial pressure can no longer afford the tuition, which at private schools can cost tens of thousands of dollars a year. Some students can receive scholarships or other financial assistance. The school’s endowments have lost 25 percent, said Shoemaker. Other schools say they’ve had to cut arts teachers and budgets. “Across the board it makes it much more difficult,” he said. “The environment for fund-

raising is pretty difficult. We made our fundraising goal last year, but not everybody can say that.” School officials said they’ve had to become more creative in how they raise money, with some institutions putting on benefit shows featuring famous alumni or current students. The schools also have responded with new courses that include digital filmmaking, music engineering and electric and acoustic guitar. The classes help find common ground with students who may not be as interested in the classical arts, like ballet or opera, said Ralph Opacic, executive director of Orange County High School for the Arts

in Santa Ana, Calif. “We’re trying to use those more current art forms to get them to explore and expand and then hopefully fall in love with classical arts,” Opacic said. Schools have begun exposing students to the business side of arts and entertainment as well, offering courses that equip them with the skills needed to become entrepreneurs. “It’s important for them to realize today you’ve got to be incredibly versatile,” said Isidore Rudnick, artistic director at The School for Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinnati, home of the recent MTV reality show “Taking the Stage.”

HICAGO – Nik Spayne wakes just before 6 a.m. on school days at his suburban Elgin home, in time to take an hour-long train ride and a bus to the Chicago Academy for the Arts. It’s regular classroom work in the morning for the 17-year-old senior before three hours of dance and vocal training. By the time he’s finished with another few hours of rehearsal and has commuted home, it’s 8 p.m. – more than 14 hours since he woke up. “Then I still need to do my homework and learn my lines and not have a social life and go to bed and do it all again,” Spayne said, sitting in a science lab after finishing his modern dance class. “But it’s worth it.” Spayne, an aspiring musical theater performer, is one of nearly 1.5 million students around the country who attend one of about 1,670 performing arts high schools, colleges or other instructional programs, according to the nonprofit group Arts School Network. After seeing the 1980 movie “Fame,” which follows New York City performing arts students, Spayne thought, “Wouldn’t it be cool to go to a school like that?” Nearly 30 years later, an updated remake of “Fame” debuts today. The movie’s trailer has one student asking: “Somebody’s gotta make it out there. Why can’t it be me?” The competitive drive and quest for success is still present at performing arts schools, which are private, public and charter, but officials say the recession has left them with less money and more to do. They educate students in the classical arts, but also have mod-

“You’ve got to have a savvy business sense. It’s not good enough to be a good actor or a good musician,” Rudnick said. Coursework aside, there’s a stronger reason students are attracted to a performing arts school. “They’re all looking for a place where they can be really passionate as well as becoming a well-rounded person,” said Lauren

Williams, a 17-year-old senior and oboe major at Chicago Academy for the Arts. “The classes are so incredibly structured and formulated. They’re so engaging and so interesting because they connect to your art.” The school’s alumni include actress Lara Flynn Boyle, dancer Tom Gold of the New York City Ballet and film composer Alex Wurman. While “Fame” may be the movie version of what happens in the halls and rehearsal rooms, it does show the true spirit of a performing arts high school, said Rory Pullens, head of school at Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington. “’Fame’ captures that beautifully and we see that manifest in the students every single day,” Pullens said. “They look at the celebrity and the flash and the glory and all of that.” But he said when they enter the halls with “the sweat and the work ethic they need to possess, they come out appreciating the work they’ve put into this and the skill they develop.”

East-Ledford remains the same

TOP SCORES

“Every year it’s a good game,” Henderson said. “I enjoy the rivalry.” The only difference is that it’s just a county rivalry rather than a conference clash. East remains in the CCC, while Ledford got bumped to the Mid-Piedmont 3A this fall. The Panthers struggled early before trouncing West Davidson last Friday. East has survived a couple of close calls to open with a winning record. “We’re just trying to improve each week,” Lingerfelt said. “We hope it’s going to be close and we have a chance to win there in the fourth quarter.” Making a little history wouldn’t be bad, either. When asked his favorite memory from the series, Lingerfelt pointed to the 14-7 win in 2003. Ledford’s 12-year winning streak ended when QB Ben Snyder took a 47-yard pass from receiver Brad Tucker to the end zone. “Worst play call, best result,” said Lingerfelt with a chuckle. “It worked out.” May more lore in this remarkable rivalry be made tonight.

CINCINNATI PITTSBURGH

BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WALLBURG – There’s no frost on the pumpkins yet, which means tonight’s heated rivalry between East Davidson and Ledford could be even steamier. Forget the fact that the teams no longer compete against each other in the Central Carolina 2A Conference. That – and the fact they’re not playing in late October or early November – is all that’s changed. “It feels weird because normally they’ve been our last game,” Panthers coach Chuck Henderson said. “But the kids are excited and I’m sure East Davidson is excited.” Henderson, whose Panthers serve as host for this matchup, is in his seventh year leading Ledford. Bryan Lingerfelt enters his eighth Ledford game as head coach of the Golden Eagles. “It’s a little bit different, not being a conference game, but the kids are still excited about playing them,” Lingerfelt offered. “We had a

pretty good week of practice. Hopefully we’re ready to play.” There’s little doubt of that. While East enters with a record of 3-2 and Ledford sits at 13, that hasn’t mattered much over the years. Both teams entered last season’s game struggling offensively – and Ledford prevailed 4131. In 2007, East beat Ledford 12-7 on the final night of the regular season – only to see the Panthers return one week later for the state playoffs and end the Eagles’ season in a 28-26 thriller. Ledford won by two points and three points the two previous years and took the 2004 shootout 48-26. Two other close games preceded that – 14-7 East and 15-14 Ledford – prior to the series’ last blowout, a 40-3 Panther romp in 2001.

Beason: Panthers encounter ‘must-win’ CHARLOTTE (AP) – Another new defensive tackle moved into his locker Thursday not long before linebacker Jon Beason made it clear the Carolina Panthers are running out of time to plug the leaks in their deBeason fense. After consecutive losses to open the season, the Panthers face a critical game Monday night at Dallas. And Beason wasn’t shying away from its importance. “I mean 0-3 is just not a possibility,” Beason said. “This is a must-win.” Not the best scenario to be breaking in another defensive lineman. But that’s what the coaching staff was doing with Antwon Burton, signed Tuesday after being released by St. Louis this month. For those who have lost track, Burton is replacing Louis Leonard, who was acquired from Cleveland on Sept. 1 for a late-round draft pick. Leonard was filling in Sunday for the injured Nick Hayden when he broke his left ankle and is lost for the season. Hayden had been filling in for Maake Kemoeatu, Carolina’s top run-stuffer who ruptured his right Achilles’ tendon before the Panthers even got to their first team drill in training camp.

WHO’S NEWS

Donovan McNabb is still not able to practice and it appears unlikely he will play this week. McNabb, who suffered a broken rib in a seasonopening win over the Carolina Panthers, is expected to miss his second straight game as the Philadelphia Eagles (1-1) meet the Kansas City Chiefs (0-2). With the Eagles on a bye next week, resting McNabb gives him more time to heal before the Eagles host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Oct. 11. Third-year QB Kevin Kolb started last week is expected to start again. Jeff Garcia and Michael Vick will be the backups.

HIT AND RUN

hope the Major League playoffs produce some drama, because the regular-season races for the postseason packed all the suspenseful punch of a “Saved By The Bell” rerun. Not even Screech could find anything to scream about as this regular season winds to an end. Five of the six division races appear over. The Yankees, Angels, Phillies, Cardinals and Dodgers have either punched their tickets as division champs or will do so in a day or two. The American League Central features a two-team battle to the finish. But when those

two teams are the Tigers and Twins, well, who’s going to notice? And this year, the wild card chases have been rather tame. The Red Sox own the American League’s wild card and in the National League, the Rockies pretty much would have to lose all of their remaining games to let the Braves, Giants or Marlins get a sniff of the postseason. The playoffs look promising with several interesting storylines. Can the Yankees end their post-2000 World Series championship drought? Can the Red Sox or Angels capture the

kind of postseason magic that led them to a combined three world titles this decade? In the National League, the Phillies target a second straight world championship, but look for stiff competition from Joe Torre’s Dodgers or Tony LaRussa’s Cardinals. And the NL wildcard winner always seems to make noise come playoff time. So hang on a little longer, baseball fans. Things figure to get much more exciting soon.

Anonymous donor boosts HPU baseball ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An anonymous out-ofstate supporter has committed a $2 million gift for an indoor baseball training facility at High Point University. The facility â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a fully enclosed, 11,000square-foot structure that will include indoor batting and pitching cages, locker rooms for players and coaches, and other amenities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be located next to Williard Stadium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This facility is the latest upgrade for the High Point University baseball program and Athletic Department,â&#x20AC;? said Craig Keilitz, HPU athletic director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once again, we have a major donor to thank for supporting HPU and helping raise the profile of High Point University sports teams. The training facility will be a huge asset to coach Craig Cozart and his staff in helping HPU baseball players improve on the field.â&#x20AC;? The indoor baseball training facility will include a hitting and pitching area, which will give the HPU baseball program a distinct advantage for training throughout the year. It will also include permanent video cameras that will be used for video review and training purposes. The facility will feature a player lounge, a team conference room and trophy display area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The addition of this facility will further enhance the improvements made to Williard Stadium and Erath Field over the past three years,â&#x20AC;? said head coach Craig Cozart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the most important aspects of any baseball program is

the ability to develop the talent of the players on the team, and this facility will allow us to do that like never before.â&#x20AC;? The primary entrance to the single-story brick structure will lead into a multiuse room with luxury furnishings that will serve as a player lounge, team conference room and trophy display area. Behind that area will be a 30-by-50 foot player locker room equipped with professional-level wooden lockers and a full video and sound system, as well as a locker room for the coaches. The rear portion of the facility will contain the indoor batting cages and pitching mounds. On each side of the building in the workout area will be three garage doors that will be opened to let in fresh air when weather permits. The front entrance will have pillars to match the architecture of other buildings on campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From a training and development standpoint, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge,â&#x20AC;? senior outfielder Matt Gantner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really going to take our program to the next level.â&#x20AC;? The new baseball training facility is just the latest in the facility upgrades for the HPU baseball program and all of High Point University athletics. Erath Field has long been home to HPU baseball, and it has undergone major renovations since 2001, including a new infield, irrigation and scoreboard. Williard Stadium was dedicated in 2007, with the addition of 501 custom purple seats, a full press box and hospitality suite, restrooms, a concession stand and lights.

HPU women fall 3-0 to Belmont SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The High Point University womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team lost 3-0 to Belmont in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final non-conference game of the season when the Bruins scored three goals late in the second half Thursday night at Vert Stadium. The Panthers managed a season-high 15 shots in the loss, which drops them to 1-10-0. HPU came out strong in the first half, maintaining long spells of possession and creating numerous opportunities in the attacking third. The Panthers outshot Belmont in the first 45,

6-3, and held the Bruins without a shot on goal. In the second half, HPU continued to press forward but in the 72nd minute, Belmontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Annie Musacchio got the ball in the box and slipped it past senior goalkeeper Marisa Abbott to the far post to take a 1-0 lead. With the one-goal lead, the Bruins found new life and tacked on two goals in the next five minutes to take control of the game. Jayme Trocino scored with hard strike to the upper 90 from the left side of the box later in the 72nd minute and Lauren Paynter got her foot on a loose ball just in front of the net in the

77th minute to run the Belmont lead to 3-0. Freshman Christa White led the Panthers with three shots. Abbott made four saves. The Panthers return to the pitch on Saturday, Oct. 3, at 7 p.m., when they kick off conference play by hosting Coastal Carolina.

Cowboys set to lasso Demons in f irst-ever meeting R.J. REYNOLDS AT SOUTHWEST GUILFORD

---

Records: Reynolds 5-0; Southwest 3-1 Last year: Did not play Last week: Reynolds edged East Forsyth 14-7; Southwest was idle Next week: Reynolds is idle; Southwest welcomes Northwest Guilford This week: Southwest celebrates Homecoming tonight against a team it hasn’t faced before on the football field. But the Cowboys didn’t exactly pick a good time to put the Demons on the schedule: Reynolds, traditionally not that strong in football, owns a 5-0 record and landed 10th in the most recent AP statewide poll. QB Craven Knotts and speedy receiver Jake Gainey have sparked an offense averaging 34.8 points per game. Southwest’s secondary may be busy, but that’ll be OK: Ray Bridges, Airyn Willis and Greg Bridges each have two interceptions through four games, with Greg Bridges’ picks each going the other way for six points. Offensively, Willis has been a force, rushing for 110.5 yards per game with seven touchdowns.

HIGH POINT CENTRAL AT EAST FORSYTH

---

Records: Central 4-1, 0-0 Piedmont Triad 4A; East 2-3, 0-0 Last year: East 31-6 Last week: Central beat Andrews 19-12; East fell 14-7 to Reynolds Next week: Central is idle; East visits Ragsdale This week: This Piedmont Triad 4A Conference opener features squads heading in opposite directions. East debuted with a pair of wins over North Forsyth and Reagan – teams with a combined 2-8 record – before falling by single touchdowns to strong 4A foes Mount Tabor, West Forsyth and Reynolds. The Bison, meanwhile, rebounded from an ugly opener against Reynolds to post wins over Grimsley, Lexington, Smith and Andrews. Central’s defense has allowed just 6.75 points per game and turned the tide with key turnovers in those four contests. Central and East split their four meetings in the Metro 4A Conference. Tonight’s winner gets a leg up in the PTC series.

This week: The Storm snapped a fourgame losing streak to the Bulldogs with last year’s victory, secured by the last of two Warren Scott touchdown runs in the final minutes. Scott has been just about the entire Southern offense this fall, leading the area with 135.6 yards per game rushing in his first season as the Storm’s featured running back. Trinity finds itself in a rebound game after last week’s disappointing defeat. The Bulldogs threw the ball well – with the exception of an interception returned for a touchdown – but couldn’t get their vaunted ground game going. This will be Trinity’s final chance to work out the kinks before opening play in the PAC 6 2A Conference, which to this point in the year appears up for grabs.

Forsyth; Parkland pays a visit to Glenn This week: The Tigers and Mustangs haven’t played each other in the regular season in at least 17 years – the paper trail grows cold at the Enterprise prior to the 1992 season – but Ragsdale fans no doubt have painful memories of Parkland. In 2007, a Tiger team entering the 3AA playoffs with a 9-2 record and high hopes for the postseason dropped a 28-24 firstround game to the Mustangs. This year’s Ragsdale squad opens the league season ranked fourth in the state in the most recent AP poll. Luke Heavner has emerged as an impressive threat in the pocket, accounting for 11 touchdowns – nine of them on passes to favorite targets DeSean Anderson and Luke Sonricker. Parkland’s lone victory came over winless Atkins two weeks ago. Last week against rival Carver, the Mustangs sat first-and-goal in the final minutes and Records: Southwestern 2-3; Wheatmore failed to find the end zone. 0-5 Last year: Did not play Last week: Southwestern lost 41-6 to Randleman; Wheatmore fell 26-0 to East Records: Thomasville 1-4; Asheboro 2-3 Davidson Last year: Did not play Next week: Southwestern is idle; Last week: Thomasville lost 17-15 at DaWheatmore is idle This week: Wheatmore celebrates vie County; Asheboro beat Trinity 20-15 Next week: Thomasville is idle; AsheHomecoming in style tonight with the boro is idle debut of its football stadium after playThis week: Could the Bulldogs enter ing a pair of home games at Trinity. No doubt the Warriors will be happy simply the bye week with a 1-5 record, enduring to be home, but fans should be treated to their worst start since George Cushwa’s 2more steady progress by the young squad 7 campaign in 1962? A string of close but painful losses has dogged Thomasville as well.

Next week: Bishop visits North Raleigh Christian; North travels to North Stokes This week: The Villains’ early-season romp has caught the attention of writers across the state, as Bishop landed 10th in the most recent 1A AP poll. Expect more success for a Bishop team averaging 46.5 points per game and boasting a seasonlong shutout. The Greyhounds, a 2A school in the new split Northwest Conference, have been outscored an average of 31.5 to 10 this fall coming off a four-win season last year.

GLENN AT NORTHWEST GUILFORD

Records: Glenn 4-1, 0-0 Piedmont Triad 4A; Northwest 4-1, 0-0 Last year: Did not play Last week: Glenn beat Reagan 27-7; Northwest topped Grimsley 13-0 Next week: Glenn welcomes Parkland; Northwest visits Southwest Guilford This week: The Bobcats haven’t faced Northwest since at least 1992 – curse these incomplete HPE records! – entering a game that has become an intriguing league opener. Both squads struggled last fall, with Glenn going 4-7 in its last run in the Piedmont Triad 3A and Northwest finishing 66 in its final Metro 4A appearance. Now, both teams have surged toward the top of the PTC heap in the early going. The Bobcats’ lone loss came in Week 2 to West Forsyth, while the Vikings’ only blemish came two weeks ago to Northern Guilford. Whichever team takes tonight’s contest emerges as one of the primary contenders to favorite Ragsdale.

O’Hair leads Tour f inale

Tigers inch ahead of Twins ATHLETICS 12, RANGERS 3

REDS 4, PIRATES 1

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND, Calif. – Jack Cust homered to help rookie Brett Anderson win his fourth straight start, Cliff Pennington hit a two-run triple and the Athletics salvaged a split of their four-game series. Eric Patterson drove in three runs, Adam Kennedy doubled twice among his three hits and Rajai Davis had an RBI triple in a balanced offensive attack for Oakland, which sent the Rangers to just their second loss in their last seven road games. Anderson (11-10), who has struggled for run support much of the year, allowed three runs, one earned, and six hits in 52⁄3 innings. He improved to 83 over his last 16 starts.

PITTSBURGH – Bronson Arroyo limited Pittsburgh to one run over seven innings and the Reds completed their second sweep of the plummeting Pirates in less than a month to push Pittsburgh closer to a 100-loss season. Joey Votto had a tworun double following Drew Sutton’s RBI double in a four-run third inning against Charlie Morton (4-9) as the Reds won their eighth in a row against the last-place Pirates. The Reds are 15 games ahead of the Pirates in the NL Central standings after falling behind them following a loss on Aug. 22. Since then, fourth-place Cincinnati is 21-10 and Pittsburgh is 5-25.

ATLANTA – Sean O’Hair got a putting tip from Tiger Woods and put it to good use Thursday in the Tour Championship, opening with a 4-under 66 to take a oneshot lead in the final FedEx Cup playoff event. Woods did all right himself. He recovered from a shaky start with three birdies during a four-hole stretch on the back nine at East Lake for a 67, leaving him one shot back along with Padraig Harrington and Stewart Cink. O’Hair played six times last week at home with his buddies. Far more valuable was the nine holes of practice he spent Wednesday with Woods, when the world’s No. 1 player gave him some advice on adding loft to his backswing and releasing the blade. The tip seemed to work on firm greens that were far tougher than the 30man field imagined after so much rain. O’Hair rolled in an 18foot putt on the 14th hole for the last of his six birdies, and he made one from 55 feet earlier. It was part of what he called a solid day, and it allowed the FedEx Cup possibilities to come to life. O’Hair is the No. 7 seed and he knows exactly what has to happen for him to cash in on the $10 million prize – win the Tour Championship and have Woods – who is in the best shape to capture the FedEx Cup as the No. 1 seed — finish in a three-

The Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins are taking their fight for the AL Central to the finish. Several important players on both teams have been injured, and others have slumped. The Kansas City Royals and Cleveland Indians were supposed to be better than this. The Chicago White Sox made several moves this summer while trying to defend their division title, but couldn’t put together a serious challenge. About the only predictable development in this decidedly mediocre group has been the existence of an actual pennant chase. Just ask the clairvoyant Jim Leyland. “I don’t want to sound like a prophet, but I said a long time ago at the start of the season that there was a good chance this thing would go down to the last week, last few games,” the Tigers manager said. Leyland’s team beat Cleveland 6-5 on Thursday night to extend its lead over the idle Twins to three games. Neither league has experienced much excitement in 2009. Almost all of the eight playoff spots seemed secure when September started, eliminating the usual intrigue surrounding the final weeks. The teams at the top are the typical big spenders, too. The Central race has been more of a crawl, with the Tigers unable to run away with the lead they took in early May.

Panthers still banged up ahead of Dallas game CHARLOTTE (AP) – The Carolina Panthers have three more key players sidelined with injuries. Linebacker Na’il Diggs, fullback Brad Hoover and running back Jonathan Stewart all missed practice Thursday. Diggs suffered bruised ribs in Sunday’s loss to Atlanta, while Hoover is experiencing back spasms. Stewart has been plagued by left Achilles’ tendon pain since training camp.

Safety Chris Harris (knee) and defensive tackle Nick Hayden (toe) returned to practice on a limited basis after missing the Atlanta game. Starting tackles Jordan Gross (knee) and Jeff Otah (shoulder) were also limited. Running back Mike Goodson sat out practice due to illness. Receivers Steve Smith and Muhsin Muhammad did practice despite getting banged up against the Falcons.

Steelers ready to run PITTSBURGH (AP) – Two games into the season, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense has mostly been Big Ben and a big question mark. After winning the Super Bowl mostly on the strength of their passing game, the Steelers still don’t quite seem to know what they want to do offensively. Are they a running team that can’t pass up the temptation to let Roethlisberger throw on every important down? Or are they making the transition to a passing

North Carolina wide receiver Erik Highsmith (88) pushes through the East Carolina defense during a 31-17 Tar Heel victory on Set. 19. Highsmith, a true freshman, is one of the young wide receivers who have helped the Tar Heels open the season with a 3-0 record.

Young wide receivers spark UNC CHAPEL HILL (AP) – T.J. Yates doesn’t have to guess whether his young receivers are doing their homework as they try to grasp North Carolina’s offense. The proof is tacked up on a door inside the Kenan Football Center. “We’ve got sign-up sheets to see who’s watching film,” the quarterback said. “Last week we had to add three extra sheets to the door because there were so many people watching film in the wide receivers’ meeting room. That’s definitely an encouraging thing to see.” It hasn’t taken long for the results to show on the field, either. Two strong performances from Erik Highsmith and a long TD catch from Jheranie Boyd has allowed the No. 22 Tar Heels to turn their most glaring weakness of the preseason into reason for optimism heading into this weekend’s trip to Georgia Tech.

“They’re still a work in progress,” coach Butch Davis said. “They’re starting to scratch the surface, but it’s going to be every single week (that) they’ve got to continue to grow.” Highsmith has been the quickest study. The true freshman came through with several key catches in the comeback win at Connecticut, then followed with six catches for 113 yards and a touchdown in last weekend’s win against East Carolina. Boyd, also a freshman, contributed with a juggling 59-yard TD catch in that game, while junior Greg Little has 15 catches for 135 yards in the first three games. Those numbers aren’t anything like what the Tar Heels (3-0) had last year in Hakeem Nicks, Brandon Tate and Brooks Foster, but they’re a good start. “I think they’re just starting to mature and get more comfortable,” Georgia Tech defensive coordinator

OFF

Dave Wommack said. “You notice Highsmith and the way he’s come on. I think (Yates) was more comfortable back there (against ECU). I know they have a lot of talent. They’re developing real nicely.” The Tar Heels knew they would have to find someone to fill the shoes of their departed NFL trio. Nicks was a first-round NFL draft pick with 1,222 yards receiving and 12 TD; Tate was a third-round pick despite going down at midseason with a knee injury; and Foster was a fifthrounder. That left tailback Shaun Draughn as the leading returning receiver with 16 catches for 81 yards and a score, while Little had 24 career catches while splitting time between running back and receiver. The Tar Heels have several other options, including freshman Joshua Adams and converted running back Johnny White, a junior.

team that can’t seem to commit to also having its usual strong running game? Roethlisberger knows what he wants the Steelers (1-1) to be doing in Sunday’s AFC North game against Cincinnati (1-1). He also knows they’re not they’re yet. “We’ve got to try to score on every possession. We need to take big plays, little plays, and drive the ball up the field,” Roethlisberger said. “We’ve got to find a way to be an offense that teams fear.”

College Football Hall of Fame has new home ATLANTA (AP) – Plagued by low attendance in South Bend, the College Football Hall of Fame hopes to get a boost in visitors after it moves to new $50 million facility next to Centennial Olympic Park. Hall of Fame officials held a news conference

Thursday to formally announce the move to downtown Atlanta. A new building will be constructed alongside the park and is projected to open in the summer of 2012, within walking distance of popular tourist attractions such as the Georgia Aquarium.

General Motors CEO sees modest growth ORLANDO, Fla. – General Motors Co.’s CEO says he expects “modest improvement” in sales of cars and light trucks nationwide next year. Fritz Henderson expects the auto industry to sell 11½ million to 12 million cars next year, compared with about 10 million to 10½ million vehicles this year. Henderson says the credit market for auto financing is improving and that there should be greater demand as the economy comes out of the recession.

New jobless claims drop WASHINGTON (AP) – The number of newly laidoff Americans seeking unemployment benefits fell for the third straight week, evidence that layoffs are continuing to ease in the earliest stages of an economic recovery. The Labor Department said Thursday that initial claims for unemployment insurance dropped to a seasonally adjusted 530,000 from an upwardly revised 551,000 the pre-

vious week. Wall Street economists expected claims to rise by 5,000, according to a survey by Thomson Reuters. Fewer layoffs “would be an important sign of improvement ... lessening the critical threat to consumer spending – and to the overall economy – represented by falling employment,” Pierre Ellis, an economist at Decision Economics, wrote in a note to clients.

The Federal Reserve said Wednesday that spending “remains constrained by ongoing job losses,” tight credit and falling home values. But consumer spending, which makes up 70 percent of the U.S. economy, could improve as workers feel more secure about their jobs. Meanwhile, home resales dipped unexpectedly last month after four straight gains, a sign the

housing market recovery remains fragile. The National Association of Realtors said sales dropped 2.7 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.1 million in August. Sales had been expected to rise to an annual pace of 5.35 million, according to economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters. The median sales price fell to $177,700, down 12.5 percent from the same month last year.

Citi may scale back

Rite Aid posts smaller loss NEW YORK – Rite Aid Corp. on Thursday reported a smaller second-quarter loss than a year ago as it cut expenses, but the nation’s third-largest drugstore operator lowered its expectations for the fiscal year due to the weak economy and high unemployment. Rite Aid said economic conditions have hurt its sales of nonpharmacy items like food and cosmetics because customers looked harder for bargains and bought more items that were on sale.

Oil heads lower on supply rise AP

NEW YORK – Oil prices fell sharply Thursday for a second straight day as growing supplies of crude, gasoline and heating oil exposed how badly the U.S. recession has cut into energy demand. Benchmark crude for November delivery fell 4 percent, or $2.79, to $66.18 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract tumbled $2.79 to settle at $68.97 on Wednesday. Prices for gasoline and heating oil also were sharply lower.

GM to speed up supplier payments DETROIT – General Motors Co. has decided to speed up payments to its parts suppliers to help ease their cash flow problems and ultimately improve relations with the companies, a spokesman said Thursday. The move is important, industry analysts say, because GM has had strained relations with its suppliers since the 1990s when it continually demanded cost cuts. As a result, suppliers offered new technology first to other automakers. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

DILBERT

The four-week average of jobless claims, which smooths out fluctuations, dropped to 553,500. That’s the lowest since late January, though still far above the 325,000 weekly claims typical in a healthy economy. Economists closely watch initial claims, which are considered a gauge of layoffs and an indication of companies’ willingness to hire new workers.

Home sales dip 2.7 percent WASHINGTON (AP) – Home resales dipped unexpectedly last month after a four-month streak of gains, providing evidence that the housing market recovery remains fragile. Sales dropped 2.7 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.1 million in August, from a pace of 5.24 million in July, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday. Compared

with a year ago, however, home sales are up 3.4 percent. The results surprised analysts, who had expected sales to rise to an annual pace of 5.35 million, according to Thomson Reuters. “We suspect it is just a temporary blip in the improving trend rather than a sign of renewed weakness,” wrote Paul Dales, U.S. economist at Capital Economics.

In a positive sign, the inventory of unsold homes on the market fell to 3.6 million, from 4 million in July. That’s an 8.5 month supply at the current sales pace, the lowest level in more than two years. Nevertheless, there is a key unknown on the horizon. A $8,000 tax credit for new homeowners expires on Nov. 30. Congress is facing intense pressure from real estate agents and homebuilders to ex-

tend it, but it’s unclear whether lawmakers want to spend more money to prop up the housing market. First-time buyers have purchased almost one in three homes in August. Together with investors snapping up foreclosures, they have provided most of the momentum in the market this year. Nationwide sales are up nearly 14 percent from their bottom in January.

GMAC to offer new incentives NEW YORK (AP) – GMAC Financial Services, the former financing arm of General Motors Co., is making a new push to recapture its share in the auto financing business by offering incentives to its most loyal dealers. The government-subsidized lender starting Oct. 1 will offer cash incentives and services to its U.S. dealers, spokes-

woman Sue Mallino said Thursday. The program will be called Ally Dealer Rewards – named after its newly rebranded consumer banking arm Ally Bank – although the program will be administered by GMAC’s automotive unit. GMAC’s decision to brand the program under its Ally name signals the growing importance of

the brand, Mallino said. “We were just extending the (Ally) brand name through this program because it connotes an advocacy for the customer,” she said. GMAC rebranded its banking division earlier this year, hoping to smooth over its image and lure new customers after its ailing finances forced it to accept billions

of dollars in government assistance. In May, the Treasury Department announced a new $7.5 billion injection for GMAC. It was GMAC’s second shot of cash from the government, though it was short of the $11.5 billion that the government’s “stress test” showed it needs to stay afloat if the economy worsens.

NEW YORK (AP) – Citigroup Inc. appears to be shifting its strategy in its U.S. retail banking business, focusing on its strongest markets rather than trying to expand across the country. Citi, one of the largest recipients of government aid, is concentrating its efforts on improving its operations and customer service in six major markets, a person familiar with the company’s plans said Thursday. The person requested anonymity because details of the plan have not been made public. The six markets include cities where the company already has a strong foothold: New York, Washington, Miami, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Power companies switch to hybrids COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – Two of the nation’s largest power generators said Thursday that they plan to begin switching their company cars and trucks to plug-in hybrid vehicles or all-electric vehicles starting Jan. 1 to help cut greenhouse gas emissions. The commitment by Charlotte, N.C.-based Duke Energy and Juno Beach, Fla.-based FPL Group Inc. represents more than 10,000 vehicles and potential revenue of $600 million or more for manufacturers. The goal is that by 2020, 100 percent of all new fleet vehicles will be plug-in electric vehicles or plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Trade commission halts fake cigarettes RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – The International Trade Commission is requiring U.S. Customs & Border Protection to stop the import of counterfeit products illegally bearing the trademarks owned by Philip Morris USA. The nation’s No. 1 tobacco company says the

order will help stop Internet-based cigarette vendors from illegally importing Marlboro and other brands made abroad without permission and selling them in the United States. In March 2008, Philip Morris USA filed a complaint with the commission as part of an

effort to end the trade of counterfeit, stolen and untaxed or under-taxed cigarettes. The company, owned by Richmond, Va.-based Altria Group Inc., said Internet-based cigarette vendors are violating U.S. intellectual property laws and the Lanham Act.

NEW YORK (AP) – Investors pulled away from stocks after an unexpected drop in home sales and a slide in oil prices fanned worries about the pace of the economy’s recovery. Stocks fell for a second day Thursday after the National Association of Realtors said sales of existing homes dropped 2.7 percent in August after jumping 7.2 percent in July. Economists had expected sales would post their fifth straight monthly increase. The market climbed in morning trading following a surprise drop in the number of people seeking unemployment benefits. The housing numbers upended that advance, however, and stocks never recovered. The Dow Jones industrial average ended with a loss of 41 points to bring its two-day drop to 122 points.

home builders also lost ground after the housing numbers. A stronger dollar weighed on the market by pushing commodity prices lower. That hit stocks of energy and materials companies. Technology shares could see pressure Friday following disappointing quarterly results from BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd. The company warned that revenue for the current quarter will fall short of analysts’ expectations. The stock fell 9 percent in after-market electronic trading.

Three stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange.

financial companies “will be sheltered by access to a federal safety net,” he said. Lawmakers should make clear that nonbank companies will not be saved with federal money, he said. Emergency measures by the Fed, Treasury and Congress during last year’s financial crisis created the expectation that the government would step in to protect failing companies, their bond holders and stockholders, Volcker told the House

Financial Services Committee. Volcker said he does not differ with the administration on most of its proposals, and takes “as a given” that banks will be bailed out in times of crisis. But he opposed bailouts of insurance firms like American International Group Inc., automakers’ finance arms and others. “The safety net has been extended outside the banking system,” Volcker said. “That’s what I want to change.” He said the administration’s proposal

to create a new system for winding down large nonbank companies would make that easier. The administration should make it clearer that a “safety net” will apply only to traditional banks, not investment companies or others. Investors must understand that if a nonbank company fails, stockholders and bondholders’ money would be at risk, he added, while endorsing other options for these companies, including forced mergers or liquidation.

Fed scales back lending programs October, and $25 billion each in November and December. For 28-day loans, the Fed will continue to make $75 billion available monthly through January. Across the Atlantic, the European Central Bank said that given limited demand and improved financial conditions, it will stop offering 84-day loans following an operation on Oct. 6. The Fed also is cutting

back on a program where investment firms can temporarily swap risky securities for super-safe Treasury securities. The Fed says $50 billion worth of Treasury securities will be made available for October, down from the current $75 billion. Operations in November and December will be trimmed to $25 billion each. The actions respond to “continued improve-

Volcker: Obama overhaul may mean bailouts

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Federal Reserve on Thursday said it is further scaling back two emergency lending programs as the economy improves. The Fed will reduce the amount of money available to banks in short-term loans under a program called the Term Auction Facility. For 84-day loans, the Fed will provide a total of $50 billion in loans in

WASHINGTON (AP) – A top White House economic adviser says the Obama administration’s proposed overhaul of financial rules preserves the policy of “too big to fail,” and could lead to future bailouts. Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker said Thursday that by designating some companies as critical to the broader financial system, the plans create an expectation that those firms enjoy government backing in tough times. That implies those

With the economy moving from recession into recovery, the Fed is pulling back on some of the extraordinary support it has provided to banks and other companies to cope with the worst financial crisis since the 1930s.

Wyeth denied order to block rival’s drug MADISON, N.J. – A federal judge has rejected drugmaker Wyeth’s request for a temporary restraining order to block a rival from selling a generic version of a lucrative Wyeth antibiotic. The move comes after Wyeth sued the Food and Drug Administration Wednesday. Wyeth wants the FDA to reverse its approval of a generic version of Zosyn, an intravenous antibiotic often given to critically ill patients. Wyeth says patient safety is at stake.

Sony to launch new motion controller NEW YORK – Sony is planning a spring release of its new motion controller for the PlayStation 3 video game console. The controller, a prototype of which Sony unveiled in June, will work with the existing PlayStation Eye camera, which can track players’ voices, faces and body motion.

Rains leave some 650 N.C. customers in dark MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

DURHAM – Tuesday’s thunderstorm knocked out power to about 650 Duke Energy customers in the Durham area, but power was restored within hours, a Duke Energy spokeswoman said. The police department reported 16 traffic accidents in the city during the storm, from 3:30 to 7 p.m., but no fatalities. Accident figures for the part of Durham County outside the city limits were not available Wednesday. Between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m., about 650 Durham customers were without power

‘When you have severe weather, the system is set up to protect itself and to ensure it will weather the storm.’

She couldn’t say what parts of the county were affected. Sheehan said the system is designed to stop power flow if it detects a nearby lightning strike or if the power line is hit directly. “When you have severe weather, the system is set up to protect itself and to ensure it will weather the storm,” she said. “There’s something on the system called a re-closer, and the re-closer opens Paige Sheehan if it thinks something’s not right.” That Duke Energy spokeswoman halts the power flow. “The bottom line is that if lightning either strikes the pole or strikes too near mainly due to lightning strikes near and the system thinks something is out power lines, according to Duke Energy of the ordinary, it’s designed to go: ‘Uh spokeswoman Paige Sheehan. oh, this isn’t right. This is clearly not

normal.’ And it stops the flow of power.” Crews then may have to restore power manually, although it can sometimes be done remotely, she said. “Very often, guys go out there with a big, long pole that’s a specially prepared piece of equipment and they literally snap it like you do a circuit breaker or a light switch, and reset it. But the reason it’s set up to do that is because if it has been struck by lightning, you don’t want power moving through it. And that’s why we see scattered outages during severe weather.” Sheehan said crews worked through the evening and had power restored by midnight or early Wednesday morning.

Jurors: FEMA trailer didn’t expose family to fumes

Maricela Cervantes wipes her eyes after visiting her neighbor’s home at the Countryside Mobile Home Park in Lawrenceville, Ga., Thursday. The neighborhood was flooded when Sweetwater Creek overran its banks earlier this week.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – A federal jury has rejected a New Orleans family’s claims that the government-issued trailer they lived in after Hurricane Katrina was defective and exposed them to dangerous fumes. A jury of five men and three women on Thursday decided that a trailer made by Gulf Stream Coach Inc. and occupied by Alana Alexander and her 12-year-old son, Christopher Cooper, was not “unreasonably dangerous” in its construction. The jury also concluded that Fluor Enterprises Inc., which had a contract to install FEMA trailers, wasn’t negligent in doing so. The federal government wasn’t a defendant in this first of several “bellwether” trials.
