19 High Point area schools
for improvement
BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – For the first time in years, a superintendent will be roaming the halls regularly in High Point’s public schools. And Angelo Kidd would have it no other way. Kidd, a veteran teacher and administrator who opened his office this summer at 900 English Road, is one of five regional superintendents. Guilford County Schools Superintendent Mo Green appointed Kidd and the others as a way to decentralize district offices. Kidd said he spends just 30 percent of his time in the office. “I want to get out to the schools,” Kidd said. “I think students and the school staff should see me. I think High Point is glad we are here, and I’m glad to be in High Point.” Working with community alliances also is important, Kidd said. Kidd serves on the boards of the Alliance for Workforce Development and United Way of High Point. “We want to form strong partnerships in the community,” Kidd said, “to help provide the best education possible. The result here is to have a better student, a graduate of better quality.” Kidd supervises 24 schools, including High Point Central and Southwest high schools. “That’s as many schools as some districts have,” Kidd said. Kidd agrees with Green that supervisors should move out of central offices in Greensboro to be closer to parents and students. Green used the same organizational plan with the Charlotte-

He wants no lowperforming schools and 81 percent of students reading on grade level, up from the mid-50s, by 2012. “It is no secret we have three low-performing schools in the region,” Kidd said. “So just like handling the needs of a family member, more at-

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
GREENSBORO – A simulated terrorist attack aboard a jet at Piedmont Triad International Airport on Friday helped fine-tune emergency plans and gave dozens of agencies valuable training on working together. The emergency drill – one of many required every three years by the Federal Aviation Administration – involved a hijacker who took control of a Delta Connections CRJ jet and forced a landing at PTI. The drill started as if air traffic controllers received a distress radio call from the pilot while the plane was inbound. Officials initially learned the plane was hijacked with 53 passengers on board and was being

It is not a style Johnson learned; it is one that flows from his imagination. Johnson’s visionary style and techniques are what led to him being chosen as the 2009 Four Sisters Gallery self-taught artist of the year, curator Everett Adelman said. Four Sisters is a gallery at North Carolina Wesleyan College dedicated to the advocacy and collection of self-taught visionary art. A collection of Johnson’s work is on display in the Four Sisters Gallery until May 10. Admission is free. “He very much engag-
es form and message in ways that are very special. That is what makes him visionary. He uses the simplest, most unpretentious materials that are just laying around. ... He uses materials in very transformative ways. That is what makes him the artist of the year,” Adelman said. Art was something Johnson loved doing as he grew up. He took classes, first in high school and then at Virginia Wesleyan College. After a few years, he left school, not liking the direction the art classes
were trying to take him. “I have always done what I liked, but when you are in school, it is like an assignment. If your assignment is to do math problems, you do math problems. But I just decided, when I think of art, I think of something I created, not something with instructions,” Johnson said. The style he developed and continues to use looks almost cartoon-like at times, though it is neither overly funny nor sad. The drawings and paintings are set at the beach, in a classroom or church, by the side of the road and in a boxing ring.
N.C. college student dies after lightning strike WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH (AP) – Authorities say a college student from Maryland has died after lightning struck near where he was swimming off the North Carolina coast. University of North Carolina Wilmington officials say the body
of 18-year-old freshman John Edward Sackett of Annapolis, Md., was recovered Friday afternoon from the ocean near Wrightsville Beach. Witnesses saw the teen struggle and go under after the lightning strike. Rescuers performed CPR
on Sackett before he was taken to New Hanover Regional Medical Center. Thunderstorms moved across eastern North Carolina on Friday, and authorities say a woman and a toddler were struck by lightning in a Fayetteville parking lot.
forced to land with 60,000 gallons of fuel. The plane landed and stopped at an isolated part of the runway. Police set up a perimeter around the jet and attempted to speak to the pilot who, in this scenario, was being held at gunpoint by the hijacker. The hijacker wanted to speak to the FBI, and time was running out. “We do these things for two reasons – first of all to learn and prepare for what could happen in the future,” said Alton Wood, chief of the PTI Fire Department. “We test different scenarios for our emergency plan and we are pretty well prepared to do what we need to do.” Pyrotechnics boomed from the plane – the hijacker “killed” two hostages. That was followed by about 20 passengers escaping from the plane.

runs in what promises to become a league offering thrills to boys and girls for many years. An on-again, off-again rain pelted the boys and girls as the first inning started, but no weather could dampen the enthusiasm and joy on opening day. A cross-section of the community spent several years raising $500,000 to develop the specially designed field for children with mental and physical disabilities. One reflection of the community’s commitment – the money, almost exclusively from private funds, was raised during one of the toughest modern times for the city’s economy. City Manager Strib Boynton said he’s never witnessed any cause in High Point that brought together such a diverse
group of backers. “Every civic club, hundreds and hundreds of individuals – I’ve never seen anything like it,” Boynton said. The Miracle League of High Point is part of a web of baseball groups across the United States and Canada that reach 100,000 children, said Stephanie Davis, Miracle League national program director. Davis and local dignitaries addressed the crowd of elected officials, volunteers, parents and children before the first game started. Players from the baseball teams at High Point University and Guilford Technical Community College welcomed and encouraged the Miracle League of High Point children. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Kidd’s office provides one-stop service BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – With decentralization, each regional superintendent’s staff is just large enough to handle the needs of the assigned schools. Each office has an executive director, a student services administrator, a student learning coach, a technology coach and office and administrative support. “We look at this as a one-stop shop,� said Angelo Kidd, western region superintendent, “to offer better and faster service to the schools. I think this will be very efficient for High Point, which has had no administrative offices for some time.� School probably will remain the first stop for most parents seeking information or to iron out some problems, Kidd said. “It depends upon the situation,� Kidd said, “whether it’s about what is going on in the classroom or with a teacher or with the school. We handle some discipline issues in this office.� Superintendent Mo Green used $2 million from 13 eliminated positions to pay for the central office reorganization. The regional offices replaced a corps of district school support and instructional improvement officers in the central office. The average annual salary for the regional superintendents is $140,000. Central office departments also provide liaisons to support the regions with specific areas of expertise, including communications, transportation, human resources and finance. The regional superintendents will work closely with their communities while the executive directors will work on internal administrative matters. The central office will continue to monitor major regional issues, Kidd said, such

FAYETTEVILLE – The FBI, U.S. Army and Fayetteville police are investigating the death of a woman found in her home Thursday. Neighbors said a woman lives alone in the home at 2821 Briarcreek Place, where the body was discovered. Property records also link the home to a woman. Briarcreek Place, a street off Village Drive, has been blocked off since the body was found. An FBI spokeswoman said agents likely will stay on the scene until today. The FBI and Fayetteville police won’t divulge details about the investigation. The body was found when Fayetteville police did a welfare check on the woman, according to the FBI. Such checks are typically requested when a person hasn’t been heard from in some time. There is no reason to believe there is a threat to public safety, according to a news release from the FBI.

N.C. authorities probe gifts to state DMV RALEIGH (AP) – Authorities are investigating if officials at the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles accepted improper gifts and meals from a company that holds a lucrative contract with the department, a newspaper reported Saturday. The News & Observer of Raleigh reports that North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation agents are also probing if the state paid Verizon Business for hundreds of computers that were never delivered. Verizon Business holds a multimillion-dollar contract to provide computers to state inspection stations. DMV Commissioner Mike
Robertson asked for the probe after determining that criminal acts might have occurred before his arrival in March. DMV records show that the agency launched an internal investigation Jan. 26 into whether six employees accepted free tickets from Verizon for Gov. Beverly Perdue’s inaugural ball. “Was there something wrong with DMV employees being at a political event seated with a primary vendor?� Robertson asked. “That was a red flag.� Verizon has also said that hundreds of computers intended for North Carolina are sitting in one of the
company’s warehouses in Arizona, Robertson said, adding that DMV could not account for all 3,000 computers it had purchased from the company. Verizon’s $51.5 million contract with the DMV runs through 2012. A spokesman for Verizon Business says the company is cooperating with the probe. “Could there be some here or some there that were broken or lost in transit? I don’t know,� spokesman Jack Hoey said. “But based on our investigation right now, we have no reason to believe there’s any wrongdoing from our end.�

AP
U.S. troops are served Arabic coffee at an Iraqi bazaar at a U.S. base in Basra, Iraq’s second-largest city, 340 miles southeast of Baghdad, Iraq, Saturday.
UNITED NATIONS (AP) – Iran’s sudden revelation of a formerly secret uranium enrichment plant brought more condemnation Saturday at the U.N. General Assembly, with the Netherlands calling Tehran’s presumed weapons program “a major challenge to international peace and security.� Slovakia’s Foreign Minister Miroslav Lajcak joined the chorus of outrage, rebuking “Iran’s continued defiance of its international
obligations, including the Security Council’s demands to suspend its nuclear activities.� The denunciations came hours after Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon met privately Friday night with Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad about Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, and about respect for human rights in Iran. A statement from Ban’s office said he “expressed his grave concern about ... the construction of a
new uranium enrichment facility in the country.� Ban “emphasized that the burden of proof is on Iran,� in an unusually skeptical comment. On Saturday, Iran’s nuclear chief said his country will allow the U.N. nuclear agency to inspect its newly revealed, still unfinished uranium enrichment facility. Ali Akbar Salehi didn’t specify when inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency could visit the site.
Military drone crashes WE BUY GOLD!! in northern Iraq BAGHDAD (AP) – A U.S. military drone crashed Saturday in northern Iraq, hitting a regional office of Iraq’s largest Sunni political party in an area that remains an insurgent stronghold, an American military official said. The unmanned aerial reconnaissance vehicle crashed into the local office of the Iraqi Islamic Party in Mosul, an area the U.S. military has called the last stronghold of al-Qaida in Iraq. Drones have been a mainstay of the U.S. war effort, offering roundthe-clock airborne “eyes� watching over road convoys and tracking insurgent movements and occasionally
unleashing missiles on a target. The U.S. military identified the crashed drone as a Shadow model, which is routinely used in areas like

MANILA, Philippines (AP) – More than a month’s worth of rain fell in just 12 hours Saturday as Tropical Storm Ketsana slammed ashore in the Philippines, killing at least 40 people and stranding thousands on rooftops in the capital’s worst flooding in more than 42 years. The government declared a “state of calamity� in metropolitan Manila and 25 stormhit provinces, said Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro, who heads the National Disaster Coordinating Council. That allows officials to withdraw emergency money for relief and rescue. A landslide and flash flooding in nearby Rizal province killed 35 people, said provincial government spokesman Tony Mateo. Most drowned, said Loel Malonzo, chairman of the Provincial Disaster Coordinating Council.

Iran kept the facility, located 100 miles southwest of Tehran, hidden from the U.N. nuclear watchdog until revealing it last week. “This removes the dispute whether Iran is developing military nuclear power or not and therefore the world powers need to draw conclusions,� Lieberman told Israel radio. “Without a doubt it is a reactor for military purposes not peaceful purposes,� Lieberman said.

New swine flu wave hits Mexico, closings unlikely

MEXICO CITY – The next wave of swine flu has arrived, and Mexicans are bracing for an outbreak that may be even larger than the one here last spring that became a pandemic. Daily diagnoses reached higher levels in September than the H1N1 peak in April, with 483 new cases in just one day this month alone. It’s unlikely there will be large-scale closings of schools and stadiums, however, because health officials know the virus is usually mild if treated early.

It disappeared from view for a moment, but then could be seen crawling up the right side of the 82-year-old pontiff’s face. When it reached his ear, Benedict gave it a swat.

Pittsburgh back to normal after G-20 lockdown ends PITTSBURGH (AP) – Merchants and motorists reclaimed their city Saturday as a vast police presence dissolved, barricades vanished and traffic started flowing after a gathering of world leaders that had turned downtown Pittsburgh into a well-protected fortress. Just hours after the Group of 20 summit at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center ended Friday and the world leaders departed with their entourages, the army of officers from around the country began to disband. By early evening, public works crews had begun clearing and cleaning streets that had been shut down for two days. “I don’t know what they actually accomplished, but I’m glad it’s over,� said Jeffrey Bauer, a U.S. Postal Service worker who has delivered a downtown route for three years. During the two-day summit, mail carriers drove with color-coded sheets in their windows to get through security checkpoints. They also traveled in pairs to prevent vandalism of their vehicles by anarchists who were among the thousands of G-20 protesters in town. “Everywhere we went, we saw National Guard and state police on the
NEW YORK (AP) – Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Saturday urged Arab nations to take steps toward normalizing relations with Israel and supporting the Palestinians in an effort to help restart stalled Mideast peace talks. Clinton made the case with senior officials from Oman, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and
the United Arab Emirates on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly. The session followed President Barack Obama’s talks this past week with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Obama administration wants Arab states to make “tangible�
and “credible� goodwill gestures toward Israel and provide political and economic support to Abbas to lay the groundwork for a resumption in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. Thus far, most have resisted, demanding that Israel first make concessions, including a total freeze on the construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

Obama offers Iran ‘serious, meaningful dialogue’
FILE | AP
In this file image reviewed by the U.S. military, the sun rises over Guantanamo detention facility at the U.S. Naval Base, in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The White House acknowledged for the first time Friday that it might not be able to close the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay by January as President Barack Obama has promised.
Gitmo closing goal of January may slip WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama may not be able to meet his stated goal of closing the much-criticized Guantanamo Bay prison by January as his administration runs into daunting legal and logistical hurdles to moving the more than 220 detainees still there. Senior administration officials acknowledged for the first time Friday that difficulties in completing the lengthy review of detainee files and resolving other thorny questions mean the president’s promised January deadline may slip. Obama’s aides have stepped up their work toward closure and the president remains as committed to closing the facility as he was when,
Mourners remember Yale student’s fun spirit EL DORADO HILLS, Calif. (AP) – Family members of the Yale University doctoral student found murdered on what was to be her wedding day said they’ll always remember the beaming smile and fun-loving spirit of the brilliant woman who hoped to change the world through her medical research. “She always brought a smile to our faces,” said Annie Le’s brother, Dan Nguyen, one of several speakers who eulogized Le at her funeral Saturday in California’s Sierra Nevada foothills, near where Le grew up. Le’s mother, Vivian Van Le, read a poem she had written in Vietnamese that was translated by another brother, Chris Le. “Farewell my child ... the most wonderful gift that God had sent to me,” Le’s mother said, going on to describe her daughter’s death as being “like a knife searing through my soul.”
as one of his first acts in office, he pledged to shut it down, said the officials, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity in order to more freely discuss the sensitive issue. They said the White House still was hoping to meet the deadline through a stepped-up effort. The U.S. military prison in Cuba was created by former President George W. Bush after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks as a landing spot for suspected al-Qaida, Taliban and foreign fighters captured in Afghanistan and elsewhere. But it has since become a lightning rod of anti-U.S. criticism around the globe. There are approximately 225 detain-
ees still being held at the prison. Obama promised soon after taking office – and many times since – to close the prison, arguing that doing so is crucial to restoring America’s image in the world and to creating a more effective antiterror approach. But eight months after Obama’s initial pledge and with only four months to go before the January deadline, a number of difficult issues remain unresolved. They include establishing a new set of rules for military trials, finding a location for a new prison to house detainees and finding host countries for those who can be released.
Ex-wife describes life with sniper in memoir WASHINGTON (AP) – As the ex-wife of the notorious Washington sniper emptied herself during a 30-day fast five years ago, one question tormented her – why did he want to kill her? Mildred Muhammad wrote about that isolation and torment for years in her journals. She began when her ex-husband, John Allen Muhammad, took their three young children from her nearly a decade ago. She continued when he was convicted of the 2002 sniper attacks in the Washington area, and still jots down her emo-
tions as her ex-husband awaits his scheduled Nov. 10 execution. “The paper don’t talk back,” the 49-year-old told The Associated Press in a recent interview. “It just lets you write down your thoughts and you’re able to express anger, shame and guilt.” They were all emotions that Muhammad, who is Muslim, had to purge during that 30-day fast in July 2004, just as her exhusband’s second trial was beginning. She had to understand everything she poured into the journals so she could finally move on.

Those journals became the genesis for her new memoir, “Scared Silent: When the One You Love ... Becomes the One You Fear,” due out Oct. 13.
WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama is offering Iran “a serious, meaningful dialogue” over its disputed nuclear program, while warning Tehran of grave consequences from a united global front. “Iran’s leaders must now choose – they can live up to their responsibilities and achieve integration with the community of nations. Or they will face increased pressure and isolation, and deny opportunity to their own people,” Obama said in his radio and Internet address Saturday. Hours later, Iran’s nuclear chief told state TV that his country would allow the U.N. nuclear agency to inspect Iran’s newly revealed and still unfinished uranium enrichment facility. Ali Akbar Salehi didn’t specify when inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency could visit. He said the timing would be worked out with the U.N. The White House responded to the development by urging Iran’s complete and immedi-
ate cooperation with the IAEA. “After hiding this site from the international community for years, full transparency is essential, and it is time for Iran to play by the rules like everyone else,” White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said. Obama said in his address that evidence of Iran’s building the underground plant “continues a disturbing pattern of Iranian evasion” that jeopardizes global nonproliferation. Ahead of Thursday’s international talks with Iran in Geneva, Obama said the world “is more united than ever before” on this issue. Those negotiations, he said, “now take on added urgency.” Iran’s failure to comply with international inspectors raised the potential of tougher economic penalties, although White House officials did not rule out military action. “My offer of a serious, meaningful dialogue to resolve this issue remains open,” Obama said, urging Tehran to “take action to demonstrate its peaceful intentions.”

DALLAS (AP) – Randy Quaid was given a ride from a small West Texas jail to get bail money from a bank after the actor and his wife were arrested for allegedly skipping out on a $10,000 California hotel bill, according to the sheriff who drove him. Quaid and his wife, Evi, each posted $20,000 Thursday night after spending several hours in the jail in Marfa, Presidio County Sheriff Danny Dominguez said. Dominguez said he drove the actor to a bank to obtain the bail money. Quaid, 58, remained in his custody during the trip but was not handcuffed. The sheriff said the actor received no special treatment. “I like to help everybody out,� Dominguez said. “It’s a small town.� The couple face felony charges of burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy in Santa Barbara, Calif.

The felony complaint states that the alleged crimes occurred between June 13-20 at the San Ysidro Ranch resort in Montecito, a posh community near Santa Barbara.
The Quaids used a credit card at the resort that they knew wasn’t valid, the complaint alleges. Josh Lynn, the chief trial deputy for the Santa Barbara District Attorney’s office, said prosecutors are waiting to learn what court date was assigned to the Quaids by Texas authorities.

D’Onofrio’s character, Detective Robert Goren, will say goodbye in a two-hour hand-off episode to open the ninth D’Onofrio season early next year, “Criminal Intent� creator and executive producer Dick Wolf said Friday. Goldblum, who joined the series last season, will continue as Detective Zack Nichols in the NYPD Major Case Squad. “After eight seasons, and with the addition of Jeff Goldblum, now is the perfect time for me to explore other acting opportunities,� D’Onofrio said in a statement.

THOMASVILLE – Slices of pizza and pageant contestants aren’t usually thought of together, but they were both at the annual Everybody’s Day festival downtown Saturday. Supporters of the Miss Thomasville & Central Carolina Pageants organization staffed a booth in the food court section of the festival next to the railroad tracks. They were selling pizza in what traditionally represents one of the best single fundraisers each year for the nonprofit group. “It’s huge for us,” said Nile Goad, co-executive director of Miss Thomasville & Central Carolina Pageants. Everybody’s Day, which traditionally

closed to traffic for the event. Children can enjoy carnival rides and games, while music-lovers can take in sounds from country and gospel to beach music and bluegrass. But for local churches and nonprofit groups, Everybody’s Day also provides a chance to make people aware of their services and contributions to the community while raising money. The current economy that has sapped Da-
vidson County highlights the importance of events such as Everybody’s Day, which provides an avenue for fundraising. Thomasville Friends Church members sat at a booth hoping to raise money for their mission activities Saturday. “It’s also a great way to network with people,” said Janice Spainhour, a member of the 30-yearold Quaker sanctuary. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528
GUILFORD COUNTY – Three new programs designed to provide unemployed or underemployed workers training for new jobs within six months will begin Monday at Guilford Technical Community College’s Greensboro campus. The training is part of the JobsNOW 12-in-6 program. Financing for the training courses comes from $300,000 allocated to the college under Gov. Beverly Perdue’s plan for the state community colleges to train workers within six months or less. The programs are: • Medical Administrative Assistant: 5:30-9:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, Sept. 28 through April 19, 2010. • Industrial Maintenance Technician Training: 12:30-5:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, Sept. 28-Jan. 29, 2010. • Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Certification Training: Sept. 28-May 3, 2010, Monday through Friday at varying times between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. The programs are among six JobsNOW courses offered at GTCC. Academic requirements include a high school diploma or a GED certificate. Other programs include Green Weatherization, which will begin at a later date and a short-term welding course which began last month on the Jamestown campus. Additional training will be provided in the Nurse Assistant I program, which will be offered on the Jamestown, Greensboro and High Point campuses. Dates for those classes will be repeated through Oct. 31, 2010. The latest classes and others which will follow have been made possible by a $200,000 grant announced earlier by the Piedmont Triad Partnership to help train 600 nursing assistants this year and another 800 in 2010.
JOBS PROGRAM
–
Success: Persons successfully completing the JobsNOW program will be awarded a Career Readiness Certificate, a Workforce Readiness Certificate and a training specific certificate which will detail the skills acquired.

Triangle mayors: Give transit a try MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE
Prepared for the worst Emergency responders in hazmat suits struggle with “victims� during an emergency preparedness drill at High Point Regional Hospital on Friday.
DURHAM – Triangle mayors on Friday touted the success their communities have had in recent years in convincing more people to use public transit, as they prepared for a weeklong effort to sell the idea to even more potential riders. The kickoff for the annual Try Transit Week promotion featured Durham Mayor Bill Bell, Raleigh Mayor Charles Meeker and Chapel Hill Mayor Kevin Foy. Bell said there’s “no question� about transit’s importance to the region’s future, and pointed out that the city’s opened new bus and train
stations this year on the edge of downtown. To entice people to ride next week, the area’s major bus systems plan to offer farefree service to all riders Thursday, and will make the same offer Tuesday to people who bike to bus stops. Rides on Chapel Hill Transit – the area’s most heavily used bus system – are always fare-free. The Durham Area Transit Authority, Capital Area Transit, Triangle Transit, Cary Transit and the N.C. State University Wolfline are joining in during the singleday promotions. The systems are also offering several other promotions, with details available at www.gotriangle.org.
S.C. attorney general won’t return questioned campaign funds COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – South Carolina’s attorney general says he will not return thousands of dollars in campaign donations from private lawyers he hired to pursue a case against drug maker Eli Lilly & Co., arguing Friday that a state law prohibiting those kinds of contributions does not apply to him. “That’s obviously a no,� said Mark Plowden, a spokesman for Attorney General Henry McMaster, adding that the contributions were proper under state law.
McMaster hired Spartanburg attorney John B. White and Columbia attorney John S. Simmons to assist the state in a lawsuit against Eli Lilly to recover state funds used to treat illnesses allegedly caused by anti-psychotic drug Zyprexa, signing a contract with them in 2006. A year later, campaign records show that White gave the Republican $2,000 for his re-election campaign in November 2007 and gave $1,500 more in March of this year. Simmons gave McMaster $3,500 in September 2008.
Under a 1991 law, no one awarded a contract by a public official without a bidding process – which was the situation in the Eli Lilly case – can then turn around and make a campaign contribution to that official. But according to one of the most senior attorneys in McMaster’s office, that law only applies to businesses that might seek to do work with the state but does not cover agreements like the one with the attorneys in the Eli Lilly case.

Wreck closes portion of I-95 SMITHFIELD (AP) – A northbound stretch of Interstate 95 has been closed while North Carolina authorities investigate a wreck. The state Department of Transportation says all four northbound lanes of I-95 were closed at mile marker 83 near Smithfield Saturday after an automobile accident. WRAL-TV in Raleigh reports that the crash happened around 11:30 a.m. Authorities say several people injured in the wreck were being taken to a hospital in Raleigh.
THOMASVILLE – Thomasville Medical Center and the North Carolina Healthy Start Foundation will partner to give onesies, also known as baby garments, to every baby born in Thomasville Medical Center in October for National Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Awareness Month. Each onesie has an attractive, but clear, safe sleep message “Stomach to Play, Back to Sleep, For Baby’s Safe Sleep.” According to the N.C. State Center for Health Statistics, from 2004 to 2008, 82 babies died in Davidson County. SIDS is one of the leading causes of infant death. In 2008, the number of infant deaths related
to SIDS increased in North Carolina, accounting for 136 deaths in children under 1 year of age. In addition to SIDS deaths, many babies die from accidental suffocation and strangulation related to excess bedding and parents sleeping with their babies, according to the North Carolina Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. To help teach parents about the safest ways for their babies to sleep, the North Carolina Healthy Start Foundation will send 65 onesies to Thomasville Medical Center for anticipated October births. For more information about baby’s safe sleep visit www. NCHealthyStart.org or call 919828-1819.

Road to redemption
BRIEFS
---
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) – A slug from a .357caliber Magnum ended Ken Cooper’s 13-year career as a bank robber and started him on the path toward redemption and a network of five prison ministries. Cooper describes the moment when he encountered a sheriff’s deputy as he walked out of his last score in 1982. “As if in slow motion, fire flashed from the shooter’s pistol. The plate glass exploded into fragments, coming at me like glistening darts. A slug slammed into my chest, knocking me backward. Shards of glass pierced and sliced my skin. Fire burned in my chest. Someone screamed, the sound bouncing around my mind like an echo. Everything faded to black,” Cooper wrote in his book,
“Held Hostage: A Serial Bank Robber’s Road to Redemption.” Cooper details his double life as a respectable husband, father and “gentleman bank robber” and the punishment for his crimes: Spending a few years in “The Rock,” Florida’s toughest prison. But before he got there, he says he found Christ in a county jail while awaiting sentencing. He wrote that his conversion occurred after he fell to his knees and prayed, “Jesus, I’m a horrible sinner; please come into my heart and change me. I’ve made a terrible mess of my life – and the lives of others.” After being released from prison about four years later, Cooper cofounded five prison ministries, which have sponsored more than 2,000

It’s time to close down gambling centers in state When are Gov. Perdue and our elected officials going to close down these so-called business centers? Tom Campbell in “My Spin” in last Sunday’s paper was right on the mark. Every week I see new “gambling joints” that have opened up. If the state, schools or police departments got the money from these places, it would be different. Why shouldn’t the Cherokees have the poker machines or any other form of gambling? The white man took their land, at least the money goes back to the reservation. The state of North Carolina is not Vegas. These gangsters, that’s all they are, opening up these places are getting the money, not the state. I know people that have lost about everything going to these places. When they have a good crowd, they give the people pizza and drinks, so they will keep spending money that they can’t afford to lose. People are being fleeced by these gangsters. Anybody with any brains at all knows the odds are against them. In Archdale, so far, there have been two robberies. How long will it be before someone is killed?
These places are getting the money, note the state.

DCCC plans for future growth
D
avidson County Community College President Mary Rittling, a woman with an ambitious but clear vision, used just a dozen words to put a gift of 183 acres to the half-century-old college in perspective: “This gift gives us a legacy for the future of our campus.” Chartered in 1958 as an Industrial Education Center on N.C. 8 in Lexington, the school moved into the Sinclair Building, the only building on the current campus site in 1963, and two years later, was chartered as Davidson County Community College. Since then, the Davidson campus has grown to 13 buildings on nearly 100 acres with the addition this year of the Conference, Training & Technology Center and the Transportation Technology Center. The college’s Davie campus opened in 1994, the Uptown Lexington Education Center opened in 2004, the Thomasville Education Center first offered classes in 2005 and the Davie Education Center in Advance began operations last year. DCCC serves some 16,000 students with more than 50 curriculum programs. The vision for the new site includes such things as a nature conservation complex, wind-power generator, environmental and natural sciences center, amphitheater, walking and cross-country trails, tennis courts, soccer fields, a 3,500-seat arena, softball field, baseball stadium, animal sanctuary and a sustainable pine plantation. The land, directly across Interstate 85 Business Loop from the Davidson County campus, was given to the college by siblings Ed Hinkle and Talmadge Hinkle Silversides, grandchildren of furniture industry icon Henry Link who formerly owned the site, which already has been christened the Link Campus. Link was involved in early planning for DCCC. A big thank-you is in order for Ed Hinkle and Talmadge Hinkle Silversides and congratulations and best wishes for making dreams come true go to Rittling and DCCC.

the time the samples were taken, although it probably lingered longer in High Rock Lake than anywhere else. What is of concern is that persons were unknowingly exposed to it during the 20-day duration of the spill as it flowed by. What is really important is that Thomasville must find a way to rebuild and enlarge the failed sewer collection system in the older parts of town. In the last five years, Thomasville paid $36,000 for fines because of violations in that part of the sewer system. Happily the town has a newly rebuilt wastewater treatment plant to replace the old one which wracked up even more weighty fines because of gross violations of water quality standards in its emissions. Folks downstream should not have to put up with sewer spills; people in Thomasville should not either. But let us be clear that Thomasville is not the only Piedmont city which has

Readership Committee kicks off a learning experience
T
he first session of The High Point Enterprise’s 2009-10 Readership Committee ran a little longer than expected, but that’s because everybody in the class participated in discussions, offered comments and asked meaningful questions. This class, with 22 members, is the largest since the program, from which 50 Enterprise readers have graduated, began in 2005. It isn’t as diverse ethnically as the others have been but is split evenly by gender and the average age is “older” than the first two classes. Great variety of backgrounds, though. • James Brigham, electrical contractor, frequent writer of letters to the editor and an occasional guest columnist for the Enterprise who has lived in High Point for a dozen years. • Kim Cakal, an author, Avon representative, volunteer and home-school mother from High Point. • Fran Cook, a retired teacher who taught in High Point as early as 1980 and still serves two days a week at Johnson Street Global Studies magnet school. • Charlotte Denig, who retired from High Point Public Library six years ago and a High Point resident since 1985. • Matthew Dunn, who was reared in eastern North Carolina but came to High Point and has been an Enterprise subscriber since 1957, worked for Henredon and, in retirement, has traveled widely doing church work. • Herman Hunter, semiretired from the heating and air conditioning business in High Point. He is taking the “course” for the second year in a row because injury and illness kept him from attending several sessions last year. He missed Thursday’s initial meeting after falling earlier in the week and fracturing three ribs. • Carol and Tony Hoglen of Denton. Tony works in the furniture industry in the greater High Point area and Carol is a 2009 graduate of the photojournalism program at Randolph Community College. • Lucile Hurley, a retired office manager (cooperative education office, Virginia Tech) who grew up in Detroit and, after 35 years in Virginia, moved to High Point three years ago to be closer to her daughters who reside in North Carolina. • M.L. Koebberling, a High Point Realtor who has been involved in a wide variety of community activities over the years. • Josiane Lackey-Laumann, a High Point native who has lived in Thomasville for many years and was an assistant principal at T. Wingate Andrews High School in High Point in the 1990s.
• Mary Jane Lindsay, a registered nurse who retired nine years ago and the widow of Robert Lindsay, who was advertising manager and held several other positions while working at the Enterprise 51 years before his death. OPINION • Babby Ludgin, retired from three occupations (advertising, Tom Model Cities/home construcBlount tion and North Carolina Shake■■■ speare Festival), has resided in High Point for three decades. • Beverly McCabe, a Bureau of Census field representative who first came to High Point to college, then returned in 1966. • Phil Morris, retired from High Point’s library, has been heavily involved in Rotary for the last decade, serving as District 7690 governor a few years ago and currently communications officer for the district. • Dave Ogren, who served as advertising director for The Daily Iowan while in journalism school at the University of Iowa and lived in Thomasville (while working for Thomasville Furniture) for several years before moving to High Point in 1982. During much of the last decade, Ogren has taught more than 600 students in Junior Achievement classes in schools in High Point. • Gary Phaup, a former broadcaster and semiretired minister who has been in High Point for three decades. • Abigaile Pittman, an Ohio native who worked in several cities before coming to High Point 20 years ago and stayed because it was the first place she had resided that “felt like home.” She’s a planner, works in real estate and is a budding writer. • Alma Sawyer, one of High Point’s more active volunteers, whom many of you have met at High Point Regional Hospital. • Robert Segal, a CPA in High Point whose firm is dedicated exclusively to non-personnel expense reduction and revenue enhancement. • Lorraine Thielmann, a High Pointer for 20 years who currently is a Realtor. She has been involved in a variety of community and Guilford Technical Community College activities for years. • Deborah Weithofer, who currently is seeking work to continue her career as an administrative assistant, returned to High Point in 1998.

COMMENTARY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2009 www.hpe.com

Set state’s education standards higher Let’s fix our broken U windows B
ack in the 1970s, I liked to watch “60 Minutes” because of its investigative reporting. The show used to go after swindlers and crooks. Corrupt government and business practices were exposed for the good of every viewer. Although the show probably has always had a liberal bias, I was a fairly regular viewer until the 1990s. Over the years, “60 Minutes” went from being a respectable news show to being just another outlet for liberal propaganda. Instead of being a trustworthy provider of useful information, the show itself became a worthy target for investigative reporting on corrupt practices (i.e. Rathergate). Has “60 Minutes” ever done a show on the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now? If there ever was an organization worthy of investigative reporting, it’s ACORN. The ACORN story is a prime example of why more and more Americans are turning away from liberal news outlets and turning to Fox News and talk radio. Anyone who OPINION hasn’t seen the candid camera Mike videos showing Hughes ACORN corrup■■■ tion should watch them at biggovernment.com. Anyone who isn’t aware of the trouble ACORN is in should stop getting their news from liberal sources. Instead of focusing on the corrupt activities of ACORN, liberals are attacking the investigative techniques that exposed the corruption. ACORN has received millions of our tax dollars over the years. That doesn’t seem like much in the era of President Obama’s trillion-dollar deficits, but a little corruption can go a long way. This is analogous to the broken window syndrome, and I think it accurately describes the current state of the Democratic Party. Wikipedia says the term came from a 1982 article in The Atlantic Monthly titled “Broken Windows.” The article stated, “Consider a building with a few broken windows. If the windows are not repaired, the tendency is for vandals to break a few more windows. Eventually, they may even break into the building, and if it’s unoccupied, perhaps become squatters or light fires inside.” Now look at what’s going on inside the Democratic Party. Liberals are trying to push the country in the direction of big government socialism, against the will of the majority. Liberals in Congress made a hypocritical circus out of the Republican “you lie” comment, while ignoring serious accusations of tax evasion by the leading Democrat in charge of writing tax laws. Our liberal president, who has ties to ACORN, brought Van Jones, an unrepentant Marxist and 9/11 Truther, into the White House. Van Jones is only one of the many left-wing extremists who are closely associated with Obama’s presidency. What would America be like if there were no Fox News, no TEA parties, no Town Hall protesters, and no credible investigative reporting? Isn’t that what liberals want? What kind of country would prosecute CIA interrogators while employing a 9/11 Truther in the White House? What kind of country would allow politicians to evade taxes while raising the cost of living on everyone else? That’s not the kind of country that most Americans want, but that’s exactly what liberals have given us. Liberals spawn broken windows. Let’s vote to get them out of our neighborhood.

NC President Erskine Bowles emerged from a recent meeting of the Education Cabinet and fired what should have been a warning shot regarding the state of education in North Carolina. Bowles said our standards are too low. He’s right. We tolerate excuses and low expectations on all fronts in public education. It isn’t acceptable that parents are not more involved in their child’s education. Raising children is not a sideline activity. Making sure children do their homework, get sufficient rest and understand the value of education is part of the job, as is staying informed about their progress and urging them to excel. Yes, there are too many homes where having a roof over the head, food on the table and clothes to wear is a daily struggle, but can we allow parents a pass just because they have it hard? If we truly believe the only way up and out of poverty is education, why are we so unwilling
to speak up on the importance of increased parental involvement as an essential element of improving education? MY SPIN And if parents are trying to do Tom their part, why Campbell aren’t we more ■■■ willing to help them? Student standards are obviously too low. It isn’t acceptable that a reported 60 percent of our high school graduates cannot read at grade level or that our state consistently ranks in the lower tier of states in achievement. Are we really willing to admit that our children aren’t as smart or as industrious as those in states ranked higher? There’s no wrong in expecting students to dress presentably, to treat adults respectfully and to behave responsibly in class. Can we agree that students cannot learn where there is disruption in the
classroom, bullying in the halls and low expectations? Is there any reason why we should not expect every student to master core subject matter? Why do we tolerate less? Neither is it acceptable that our curriculum isn’t rigorous enough to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. Instead of raising standards, it appears that we have “dumbed down” our curriculum and spend too much time teaching to the achievement tests. How does this help better our students? While it is unfair to place too much blame on administrators, principals and educators, we wonder why they are willing to accept mediocre or poor results. Instead of just demanding more money and better pay, why aren’t education professionals sounding alarms, accepting more responsibility and changing traditional methods that obviously don’t work? Their silence sounds like acceptance or, worse still, resignation.
Just as our standards are too low for public education, the same could be said for higher education. If we agree that the primary mission of our universities is to educate and prepare the next generation of leaders, shouldn’t an important part of that mission also include training more and better teachers and principals to teach those coming after them? Have we lowered our expectations for transparency, accountability and excellence in higher education? We will never be better than our expectations for any aspect of society, and we can only be as strong as the weakest of us. Why do we tolerate less than excellence? Have we, as Bowles warned, lowered our expectations, both for ourselves and others? The call is to set the bar higher.

Cooling off Look for Obama to keep losing support for climate-change legislation
P
resident Obama strode confidently to the well of the General Assembly of the United Nations on Wednesday to continue a familiar refrain he’s made with the leaders of the world regarding climate change. The president believes U.S. leadership on this issue is one small plank in the bridge he needs to rebuild in order to restore America’s dignity and rightful role in the world. I admire his tenacity and leadership on this foreign policy stage. After all, polls show Americans’ Opinion favorability for the president on Armstrong foreign policy Williams issues is higher than their views on his domestic policy agenda. To me, the reason is simple – Obama does his own dirty work on the world stage and personally engages those issues. When it comes to his domestic agenda, like health care, he unwisely leaves the details to the stray cats mewing in Congress. The irony of the president’s bold talk in New York is that the charge he’s giving his peers at the U.N. has fallen on deaf ears in the United States Senate. While a comprehensive climate change measure has passed the House of Representatives, it remains
----
stalled in the upper chamber. I predict the president will not get his signature environmental piece; not this year and certainly not in election-charged 2010. Majority Leader Harry Reid just doesn’t have the floor time necessary to battle through what would be hundreds of amendments and a bloodbath that would leave his caucus fractured and Republicans with another opportunity to
showcase the White House’s attack on America’s middle class – this time through higher energy costs. Health reform is far from finished. And with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner last week renewing calls for the Senate to push the president’s financial services overhauls, Reid is faced with a cluttered flight deck and no legislative planes ready to take off.
The second reason for climate change failing this Congress is Reid simply doesn’t have the votes. As I’ve written before, Americans just aren’t ready to trade potential job losses and higher energy costs for some eventual, amorphous benefits that may never materialize. I’m sure I’ll get e-mails blasting my lack of respect and knowledge surrounding global warming, but walk a mile in the shoes of a struggling single mother, folks. She’s concerned about getting through today and making ends meet so the kids can eat. And unless and until President Obama can clearly make the case on why his climate change measure is the right policy at this time, he’ll continue to lose the support of those who put him in office. So while the world applauds Obama and his leadership in New York, Reid sits in a crowded Capitol office shaking his head, knowing something the president refuses to admit – he’s bitten off more than he can chew legislatively, and some of his signature initiatives are dead on arrival. Yes, America, there will be no Rose Garden signing ceremony for climate change this cycle. ARMSTRONG WILLIAMS, a former High Point resident, is a Washingtonbased political commentator.

High Point planners look north, not south BY MIKE ROBERTSON
A
s I read Tom Blount’s recent column about the reasons for there being little retail development in downtown High Point, I couldn’t help but agree on many of the points. I do “get it” and do understand the economics of the situation. I also understand how downtown High Point is unique among municipalities. However, one of the points about businesses leaving downtown and moving north struck a nerve with me. It seems that everything is moving to north High Point. I have lived in the south High Point area most of my life, until moving to Trinity some years ago. I can remember when we had a Lowe’s Home Improvement store on S. Main Street. Shortly after moving from Prospect Street to Main Street, Lowe’s packed up and moved to the north
GUEST COLUMN
---
end. Shortly afterward, a Home Depot moved in virtually next door. A good golfer probably could hit a driver from Home Depot to Lowe’s. As it stands now, for me to shop at Lowe’s, I must either drive 25 minutes to the north end of High Point, or drive 20 minutes to Lexington. We used to have movie theaters in south High Point (on Main Street and Westchester), but they too moved to the north end or out onto Wendover Avenue. I have many friends and family who live in south High Point. Many are dismayed that planners are directing most of their efforts at north High Point, where there is presently more shopping, restaurants, etc., than are currently available in the south. One of the oft-repeated
comments I hear is that the planners are concentrating on north High Point because that is where the money resides. I don’t necessarily agree with that position, but to the residents of south High Point, it certainly appears that way. I was once told that the Lowe’s and Home Depot stores were built in north High Point to support the building going on in the northern area. With northern Randolph County being one of the fastest growing areas locally, then why is there not a home improvement store on this end, if you apply the same logic? So it makes many wonder if that is truly the reason for two home improvement stores opening next to each other in the north end of High Point. I would love to see development and revitalization on the south side of High Point. But is that realistically going to happen? With the planners
continually concentrating their efforts in the north, wishful thinking is all we have left. After witnessing the steady neglect of south High Point for over 40 years, while also witnessing the growth of north High Point, I think we both know the answer to that question. What I do see happening in the future is the growth of Archdale, with an influx of dining and shopping opportunities that will accompany that growth. That area of Randolph County is growing rapidly, and with completion of the U.S. 311 Bypass, will become quite attractive to major retailers looking to escape the high taxes of High Point and Guilford County. Maybe that will be a boon to the citizens of south High Point. But it is a shame that it will take Archdale to enrich the lives of south High Point residents. MIKE ROBERTSON lives in Trinity.

3 killed in medical helicopter crash in S.C. GEORGETOWN, S.C. (AP) – A medical transport helicopter that was damaged last year crashed in coastal South Carolina, killing all three people on board, authorities said Saturday. The company that owned the helicopter, Addison, Texas-based Omniflight, said 45-year-old pilot Patrick Walters of Murrells Inlet; 42-year-old flight nurse Diana Conner of Florence; and 39-yearold paramedic Randolph Claxton Dove of Bladenboro, N.C., died in the Friday night crash.

All three people on board died in the crash.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – Some relatives of the Virginia Tech shooting victims had lingering concerns after a meeting with Gov. Timothy M. Kaine, although participants described Saturday’s more than two-hour closed-door session as productive. The meeting with about 30 family members was the second of three Kaine promised as part of a settlement to avoid lawsuits over the April 2007 shootings that left 33 dead, including student gunman Seung-Hui Cho. Kaine said he and the families had a “candid discussion about issues of concern,� including an ongoing effort to make corrections to the report issued by the state panel that investigated the shootings. The state has contracted with a private company to oversee the revisions. “We talked a lot about it, and they want to make sure it’s accurate,� Kaine said. “They made that very plain.� Andrew Goddard, whose son Colin Goddard was
wounded in the shootings, said he was concerned that the same people who made mistakes on the report were providing the corrections with no formal involvement from the independent panel, which Kaine has declined to reconvene. “I’m not convinced that’s the best method,� Goddard said. The eight-member panel appointed by Kaine following the shootings had four months to investigate before issuing a report that criticized the school’s actions and offered recommendations for the future. Some families conducted their own investigations into the events and found conflicting accounts of the timeline of events and other discrepancies. Kaine reiterated Saturday that he will not reconvene the panel, as many family members have suggested. But Suzanne Grimes, whose son Kevin Sterne was wounded, said she believes Kaine sincerely wants to get the report right.
about 11:30 p.m., Knudson said. A thunderstorm moved through the area shortly before the crash, according to the National Weather Service. Authorities have not said if weather conditions contributed to the accident. On its Web site, Omniflight says the company operates 100 aircraft from 72 bases in 18 states. In a statement, the company said its 1,000 employees were coping with the tragedy. “Omniflight is deeply saddened by the tragic loss of its crew members and wishes to express its deepest regrets and sincerest condolences to the families and friends of those who lost their lives,� the company said.

Checking the future Experts expect banks to try to make up lost overdraft fees NEW YORK (AP) — Banks are backing off harsh overdraft fees and policies. That’s the good news. The bad news is they’ll probably look to make up that lost profit elsewhere. It’s a worrisome prospect for the vast majority of customers who never overdraw their funds and have grown accustomed to perks like free checking accounts. “Banks are going to have
to get creative. Rather than generic free checking accounts, you’re going to see lots of different flavors of products,” said Bob Meara, a senior analyst with Celent, a Bostonbased consulting firm for the banking industry. That might mean the return of monthly fees or minimum balances for checking accounts, or the bundling of accounts with other services for a fee. Customers could also be
steered toward lower-cost services like online banking, Meara said. Use of debit cards, which bring banks revenue from store interchange fees, may be encouraged. And networks of bank branches across the country could shrink too. Such changes could help offset the steep losses banks face as they overhaul their overdraft programs, which have come under intensifying scrutiny in the past year. Critics say automatic enrollment in overdraft programs, which has become an industry standard, is deceptive because most people
assume they can only spend money they have when using debit cards. But at Bank of America, overdrawing an account by as little as $6 currently results in a $35 fee. That charge can be applied multiple times in one day. The Charlotte, N.C.-based bank and JPMorgan Chase now say they’re easing up and putting caps on such fees. More important, customers will soon have to opt into overdraft programs, rather than being automatically enrolled in them. The changes will apply to new Bank of America customers. At New York-based JPMorgan, even existing customers will
have to opt in to overdraft programs. If customers choose not sign up, it could mean an enormous loss of profits. In 2007, banks earned about $28 billion from overdraft fees, according to Oliver Wyman, the parent company of Celent. That’s more than the $28 billion consumers spent on major appliances and the $14 billion they spent on books, according to the research firm. However, only 5 percent of customers accounted for 68 percent of revenue from overdraft fees. Meanwhile, 74 percent of customers didn’t incur any overdraft fees.

HIGH POINT - A pet store with a 26-year presence in High Point moved locations and consolidated operations to make its business stronger. Pets-R-Us, formerly Pet Warehouse, held a grand opening at its new 819 N. Main St. location on Sept. 19 to celebrate the business’ restructuring. Ray Honeycutt, owner of the store, said the downsizing from its 7,000square-foot store to its current 3,500-square-foot space allowed the business to become more solid and to continue serving its customers. “We think this is going to make us better as a business,” Honeycutt said. “We’ve lost the space, but we still have just as many products.” The store originally opened in 1983 under a different ownership. In 2007, Honeycutt purchased the store, which has had locations on Eastchester Drive and Westchester Drive in its previous years. “This site is smaller and a more convenient location for our customers,” he said about the store, which is in the Main Street Square shopping plaza beside of the High Point Neal F. Austin Public Library. A natural-born animal lover, Honeycutt grew up with numerous pets. His

ATLANTA (AP) — Thirty years ago Erno Rubik took a puzzle he had been tinkering with and turned it into the must-have brain twister toy, the Rubik’s Cube. The original was hard enough with its confounding little “cubies,” as the competitive Rubik’s solvers call them. Now, a company called Techno Source gives you Rubik’s TouchCube. The latest version of the cube doesn’t require twisting and turning the colored layers at all. Merely the soft swipe of a single finger across its surface will do it. It’s a Rubik’s Cube for the iPhone age. The TouchCube ($150) goes on sale in October, but not at the same toy stores that stock its distant cousin. The TouchCube will be available from Best Buy, as well as Amazon.com and Hammacher.com. It’s a little larger and heavier than the original, which hit the mainstream in 1980 and costs a mere $10 now. It rests on a small stand that also serves as a charger. There are small icons on each side of the TouchCube that serve various purposes with a deft double-click. One icon turns it on. Another scrambles the cube, and another gives you a hint what your next move should be. There’s even a solve button that will finish the cube for you.

Jerry Tester is shown on a job site at the Marathon Oil Detroit Refinery. After Tester lost his job as a contract engineer at General Motors, he took a crash course in piping design that landed him a job at the refinery.
Auto engineers look outside industry DETROIT (AP) – After Jerry Tester lost his job as a contract engineer at General Motors, it soon became clear that the struggling auto industry wouldn’t be the place where he would work again. The 45-year-old spent months unemployed before a tip from a friend led him to the Talascend Global Training Academy, where he took a crash course in piping design that landed him a job at Marathon Oil Corp.’s refinery in Detroit. For Tester, his nearly 20 years of auto experience gave him the foundation to switch to the oil and gas industry. “We already have the mindset and abilities to
think along design engineering lines,” he said. Years of downsizing in the U.S. auto industry have left behind a pool of engineers and designers looking for work. Some seek training in plug-in hybrid electrics and cutting-edge vehicle safety systems, while others are turning to retraining programs like Talascend’s to reach beyond the auto industry for a new line of work. The academy was started in February by Talascend LLC, a staffing company that partnered with Macomb Community College, which has a history of teaching computer-aided design for the auto industry. Of the roughly 50 people trained in six-week
sessions, the first two – including Tester – recently got jobs. “The people who have gone through the training programs early are recognizers of the fact that, while they might get pulled back into the auto industry, they might not,” said Jim Sawyer, vice provost of career programs at Macomb Community College. “If they do, it will be on a project basis with no security.” It’s that future, Tester said, that led him to Marathon Oil. Between auto industry jobs and five years on active duty with the Michigan National Guard, Tester had never been without a job. But after 10 years of working at GM in the Detroit suburb
of Warren, he couldn’t find new work in the auto industry. He describes the Talascend program as “highintensity” – six 40-hour weeks at the college. The idea was to give him enough training that, coupled with his engineering background, would be the equivalent of 5 years’ experience in piping design. The training costs $7,500, with $5,000 picked up by a state program and the rest paid by graduates after they get a job. The financial commitment helps ease potential employers’ worries about whether the engineers and designers are committed to a career change. Talascend subsidizes additional costs.

TRIAD – Its philosophy of putting people first could be the secret ingredient to Biscuitville’s success. J. Phillips L. Johnston writes in his newly released book “Biscuitville: The Secret Recipe for Building a Sustainable Competitive Advantage,” that “Biscuitville will always have an advantage over public companies as long as it counts human capital among its assets. During what will surely be seen as the ‘Great Recession of 2008-2012,’ marked by much distress, tumult, and uncertainty, Biscuitville’s investment in people gives it moorings. More importantly, people equity will help gain market share during this turbulent time.” Johnston, the chairman and chief executive of The Center for Board Evaluations Inc. in High Point, has been described as a “serial CEO” because he founded 10 successful venture-backed companies. He is the author of “Success in Small Business Is a Laughing Matter,” now in its fourth printing. He said what impressed him about Biscuitville is that unlike public companies that are required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act

to have a written ethics statement, Biscuitville has what he calls “ethics by example.” He said that the company focuses on mentorship and treating people fairly. Biscuitville has been in the dough-making business since 1966. Maurice Jennings, the company’s founder and chairman, started with two bread stores in Burlington then branched into take-out pizza. Later, he added Southern biscuits, made from scratch, to his pizza business. When his biscuits started outselling his pizzas, Biscuitville was born. The first restaurant opened in Danville, Va., in 1975. Today, Biscuitville has about 1,000 employees and 50 restaurants in North Carolina and Virginia. Jennings’ son, Burney Jennings, is Biscuitville’s chief executive. Employees at the Biscuitville at 3648 Reynolda Road said that the company is unlike any they have worked for. “Everybody pitches in, in every area,” said Tina Wright, a front-line employee. “It makes the job a lot smoother.”

Opportunity knocks for tomorrow’s leaders BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES
People of all generations don’t want to lead, according to an online survey by Harris Interactive on behalf of Randstad, the North American staffing subsidiary of the $24 billion global Randstad Holding. Survey participants include 2,199 employees and 833 managers at least 18 years old working full time in companies or in their own businesses. What’s holding people back?
FORCES One deterrent to leading comes from the news, according to leadership psychologist Susan Battley of Battley Performance Consulting Inc., on Long Island. She cites a range of factors: • business failures; • executive compensation and greed; • lack of role models for younger workers; • the Madoff scandal; and • growing awareness of the risks inherent in leading. Battley also maintains that “the fear of responsibility, unpopularity and/or failure” may stifle impulses to lead. Hidden behind the first is a fear of loss of control and of being evaluated on the performance of others.
Organizational psychologist Paul Damiano of Good Works Consulting in Summerfield, N.C., indicates that entrepreneurism is cannibalizing the pool of potential leaders. “We have an independent and autonomous society,” he says. “People have the freedom to work independently. They can make a living working out of their living room. Their economic success isn’t dependent on being a leader.” He refers to the independence technology brings, the broken contract between employer and employee, and, for many, the replacement of a formal structure for networking needs by the community and social media. Damiano and Battley agree that people have become attuned to the fact that doing all of the right things no longer guarantees success. Damiano points out that a sense of being unqualified for specific tasks rather than the whole of leadership may motivate people to avoid leading: planning strategy, conducting performance reviews, budgeting and doing financial forecasts. “Ironically,” he comments, “the discomfort (trumps) management issues – planning, organizing, controlling, directing, the traditional factors.”
FORGE AHEAD Randstad reports that just over 51.75 percent of people surveyed – 68 percent of the most senior workers alone – don’t want to lead. What if you view this as an opportunity? How can you develop lead-
ership qualities and traits? First, take note of how you’ve already been managing. Think of projects you’ve managed, teams served on where you guided co-workers through glitches and communicating interdepartmentally
ences and applying them to higher levels of leadership.” (Damiano) • Identify your style of interacting, whether you tend to be extraverted or intraverted, and whether you can handle lack of popularity. (Battley) • Strengthen your ability to motivate yourself, feel and show empathy toward others and be resilient. (Damiano) • Identify and obtain skills needed for a formal leadership role, whether supervisory or team management. (Battley) • Persuade others in the company and outside to help you. (Battley) “It takes a community to build and sustain a career now,” Battley comments. “We’re all responsible for our careers. Develop a personal advisory board to access the smarts of others. It’s also about having outside peer groups to turn to.” Damiano observes if you work in a company with a weak system for developing SPECIAL | WORKWISE FEATURES leaders or one that doesn’t support formal leadership, as well as up and down get on a board or volunteer the organization.

Wake drops ball in OT BOSTON (AP) – Just when Wake Forest seemed to be headed for a stunning comeback win, Boston College pulled off its own shocker. Wes Davis recovered a fumble in overtime to foil the Demon Deacons’ drive for a winning touchdown as the Eagles held on for a 2724 win behind Dave Shinskie’s three scoring passes on Saturday. “We were on the ropes,” BC coach Frank Spaziani said. The Demon Deacons had rallied behind Riley Skinner’s two touchdown passes in the last 3:44 of regulation before the Eagles (3-1, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) went ahead on a 23-yard field goal by Steve Aponavicius on the first series of overtime. Wake Forest (2-2, 0-1) then got its chance to start at the 25-yard line and moved to a first down at the 4 on four running plays. “Especially after the way the offense was going and the way we came back, I pretty much felt it was going to go our way,” Wake Forest defensive tackle John Russell said.

Updated ACC football standings. 6D The Demon Deacons called a handoff to Brandon Pendergrass, who already had scored on a 76-yard run. But he ran to the wrong spot and Skinner kept the ball, running to his left without blockers. “I kind of froze when I saw this happening,” Skinner said. “It was just a sloppy play all the way around.” Isaac Johnson forced the fumble and Davis recovered, ending the game and sending BC’s players rushing onto the field. “The play at the end was just a case of 11 people running at the ball. We preach that here,” Davis said. The Eagles led 24-10 before Skinner marched his team to a tie. He threw a 12-yard scoring pass to Chris Givens with 3:44 left in the
fourth quarter and a 16-yarder to Marshall Williams with 11 seconds remaining. On that last possession, Skinner completed 7 of his last 8 passes, spiking the ball to stop the clock for his only incompletion. In overtime, BC couldn’t advance after getting a first down at the 6 and settled for the field goal. Pendergrass ran three times for 20 yards and Skinner picked up 1 against a defense that seemed vulnerable. Skinner then fumbled and Pendergrass lay face down on the ground for about a minute before being consoled by teammates. “We were very undisciplined, had a lot of penalties,” Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe said. “The last play of the day was disappointing but very indicative of the way we played.” Shinskie, a 25-year-old former minor-league pitcher and college freshman, completed 18 of 29 passes for 228 yards and one interception in his first start. Skinner went 25-for-35 for 354 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
N.C. State packs offensive punch RALEIGH (AP) – Nobody could stop N.C. State when it counted most. Not Pittsburgh’s defense, and not even the Wolfpack’s own mistakes. Former Ragsdale star Toney Baker scored from 2 yards out with 6:28 left and N.C. State’s defense made a late stand to preserve a 38-31 win over the Panthers on Saturday. In a wild game in which the teams combined for 830 total yards, Russell Wilson threw four touchdown passes for the third straight week and finished 21 of 35 for 322 yards for the Wolfpack (3-1). Wilson also rushed 10 times for 91 yards and led three straight secondhalf touchdown drives for N.C. State. “With the quarterback, the way he’s playing, we’ll keep slinging it around the yard and see what happens,” coach Tom O’Brien said. The last drive was kept alive by two pass-interferAP ence calls on third downs N.C. State’s Toney Baker runs the ball as Pittsburgh’s Jabaal Sheard (97) reaches for the against Pitt. Baker raced tackle during the second half of Saturday’s game in Raleigh. Baker, who starred at Rags- untouched through the dale High, scored on a 38-yard touchdown catch and added the game-winning 2-yard TD left side two plays later to give N.C. State its first run midway through the fourth quarter as the Wolfpack topped the Panthers, 38-31. – and only – lead.
“The penalties we had on defense were mindboggling,” Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt said. Bill Stull was 12 of 23 for 206 yards with two touchdown passes, while Dion Lewis had two early scoring runs for the Panthers (3-1). They had one last chance to force overtime after a shotgun snap sailed over Wilson’s head and was recovered by Pitt’s Max Gruder at the N.C. State 8 with 2:45 remaining. But freshman safety Brandan Bishop knocked a sure touchdown catch out of Dorin Dickerson’s hands one play before Stull’s fourth-down pass sailed out of the end zone with 1:15 left. Lewis finished with 95 yards and scored on runs of 6 and 7 yards in the first half. The Panthers led 31-17 late in the third. That’s when Wilson took over. He started the comeback with a 33-yard touchdown pass to Jarvis Williams, then tied it at 31-all with a pretty 7-yard flip to George Bryan before leading the go-ahead drive.
Yellow Jackets ground Tar Heels, 24-7 BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU
ATLANTA — After North Carolina quarterback T.J. Yates threw his second interception in the final minutes of Saturday’s 247 loss to Georgia Tech at Bobby Dodd Stadium, he walked back to the Tar Heels’ sideline and threw his helmet at the bench. Even though the game already was virtually decided, Yates let loose his obvious frustration after Georgia Tech shut down UNC’s offense to hand the Tar Heels
their first loss of the season. Yates finished the game 11-of-26 for 137 with one touchdown. “It’s embarrassing,” said Yates, who is from Marietta, Ga. “That’s all it is, embarrassing.” It’s the ninth consecutive loss in its ACC opener for UNC, which also has not won in Atlanta since 1997. UNC (3-1, 0-1) never got in an offensive rhythm and had just 154 yards compared to Georgia Tech’s 406. The Yellow Jackets effectively ran their triple-option offense to the tune of 317 rushing yards, with running back Jonathan
Dwyer leading the way with 158 yards. “We’re definitely sad just because it’s a loss,” UNC senior offensive lineman Kyle Jolly said. “It’s a tough loss just because they beat (us) so well.” UNC got into the end zone when Yates connected with Erik Highsmith for a 40-yard touchdown pass on third-and-1 early in the fourth quarter. The Yellow Jackets (3-1, 2-1) controlled the game from the start and took a 7-0 lead on their first possession. Roddy Jones’ 13-yard touchdown run capped the 88-
yard drive in which Georgia Tech used only running plays. The Tar Heels gave up more rushing yards on the opening drive than they had given up in each of the previous three games. “I think we just came out a little flat in that first quarter,” UNC linebacker Bruce Carter said. “As the game went on, we picked up a little bit. We didn’t really come out and match their intensity; I think that was the main thing.” The Tar Heels didn’t record a first down until 9:58 to go in the second quarter.

rett Favre makes his home debut with the Minnesota Vikings today against the San Francisco 49ers. That alone makes this an intriguing contest. But this game features more than Favre. Both teams sport 2-0 records, making this the only week 3 game to match unbeatens. Plus, this battle oozes with history. The 49ers and Vikings were consistent Super Bowl contenders throughout the 1980s
and ‘90s. Minnesota suffered four Super Bowl losses between 1969 and ‘77, while San Francisco was a power in the early 1970s. San Francisco head coach Mike Singletary and Favre are also linked. Singletary’s final season as a hard-hitting linebacker with the Bears (1992) was Favre’s first season in the NFL. The Vikings appear poised for a strong run at the Super Bowl. As long as superstar running back Adrian Peterson stays healthy and
the offensive line continues to protect Favre and open holes for the ground game, Minnesota should be the real deal. The 49ers, meanwhile, need a good performance against Minnesota to convince doubters that they are a legitimate threat to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2002. We should know more about both teams after this one.

SUMNER – A week ago, Trinity’s rush defense held Asheboro’s Dmitri Faglier largely in check. They couldn’t duplicate the feat Friday night. Southern Guilford’s Warren Scott, a 5-foot-7, 150-pound senior lightning bolt, ran over, around and through the Bulldogs to lead the Storm to a 34-6 nonconference victory Friday night. By the fourth quarter, only two questions remained: Would the star be replaced by a backup, and would he top 300 yards? The answers? No, and no. Surprisingly, coach Darryl Brown left Scott in until the final horn as he racked up 289 yards and four touchdowns on 29 carries. That included a 3-yard scoring run for the final margin with Southern holding a comfortable 27-6 lead with 1:28 to play. And one week after slowing Faglier, one of the best backs in the area, Trinity coach Alex Mebane had to be scratching his head wondering what went wrong. Scott had several carries in which he was 10 yards downfield before a defender got a hand on him. His backfield mate, Josh McDuffie, ran for 119 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries, and several of those were on direct snaps in the Wildcat formation. Regardless of the formation, Trinity’s run defense was confused and overmatched. The Bulldogs will have to find answers in their bye week before opening play in the PAC 6 Conference at home against Randleman.

Cowboys seek spark for anemic offense S
outhwest Guilford ran 44 plays Friday night against R.J. Reynolds. The longest, a pass from Davis Inman to Justin Surgeon, went for all of 12 yards. Another pass from Inman to Airyn Willis netted 11 yards. Of the 26 rushing attempts by the Cowboys, no carry picked up more than 7 yards – and a stunning 16 plays went for zero or negative yards. “Right now, we’re not very good throwing the football, and when Reynolds puts nine in the box, it makes it tough to run the football,” coach Scott Schwarzer said following the 31-0 defeat. “It’s not for lack of effort for the kids, it’s not for lack of effort from the coaches. We really worked hard trying to get better throwing the football (during last week’s bye). Our inability to throw the football, it’s a struggle.” Inman, at times facing heavy pressure, at times throwing to receivers who appeared to run incorrect routes, and at times simply missing the mark, finished 4-for-18 with an interception. His throws covered 28 yards.
On the ground, Southwest finished with 26 carries for minus-6 yards, giving the team 22 yards of total offense for the game. That for a squad SPORTS that entered averaging 18.8 points Steve per game while Hanf getting 110.5 yards ■■■ per night from Willis on the ground. Even when Reynolds giftwrapped an apparent tying touchdown, the Cowboys couldn’t capitalize. Inman, who punted nine times, sent a second-quarter kick into a crowd. The ball hit one of the Demons and Ray Bridges pounced on it at the 5-yard line. Willis found the end zone two plays later – after a flag went flying for illegal formation. Following an unsuccessful run from the 9, the Cowboys settled for a field-goal attempt, but the kick missed to the right. “We’re good on defense,” Schwarzer stressed. “We’ve got to find a way to score some points. As coaches, we’re going
to look at it and find ways to move the football.” To outsiders, it looks as though Reynolds blitzed the Cowboys for 31 points. But one TD came after an interception 27 yards from the end zone. Another score was on a fumble return. Two points went up for a special teams safety and a field goal resulted from a fumble at the 14-yard line. Only two touchdowns – a long drive in the second quarter and a march to open the third – truly can be laid at the defense’s feet. And there’s no shame in giving up 14 points to a 6-0 team. “It was 31-0 and our defense played a 14-point ball game,” Schwarzer praised. Robert Howze hauled in an interception. Greg and Ray Bridges teamed for nice plays in the secondary. Bracy Bonham, Jalen Kitching and John Gehris combined for big plays in the middle and Jason Nazal and Armando Suarez were forces inside. They couldn’t do it alone, though, and now the Cowboys must regroup in time for the Piedmont Triad 4A opener at home Friday against Northwest
Explosive Bison offense keeps clicking on all cylinders BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE
KERNERSVILLE – High Point Central is running out of ways to impress. On the way to Friday’s 20-14 triumph over East Forsyth and a fifth victory in a row, the offense clicked on all cylinders as the potent tandem of quarterback Drew Adams and 6-3, 190-pound target Derek Grant continued to generate production. Grant recorded a teamhigh eight catches, 104 yards and a touchdown as he continued to dazzle with his stellar adjustments and sticky hands. According to Bison coach
Wayne Jones, the weapons reach far beyond the Adams-to-Grant rapport. “We’ve also got other kids that are great athletes and are catching the ball right now,” Jones concluded. “That’s one thing that Drew is starting to do better. He’s distributing the ball to other guys.” One of the options in Central’s stable of weapons is two-way player Akeem Langham. The versatile play maker grabbed three catches for 54 yards – including a 23-yard TD – averaging 5 yards per carry on five touches. He also forced two turnovers, a crucial interception and a forced fumble on a sack.
“For the defense, that’s our job – to stop people and get turnovers for our offense,” Langham said. The Bison defense has accepted its role and seems to embrace the fact when its job is done effectively, notoriety comes minimally.
With the air game and shutdown defense performing admirably, running back Lashuran Monk made sure he did not get lost in the shuffle Friday. Monk carried the ball 19 times for 107 yards and a touchdown.

Guilford – a 4-2 squad that narrowly lost to Glenn on Friday. “Here’s the thing,” said Schwarzer, turning upbeat. “We’re 3-2 going into conference play and we feel like we can still have a strong year. It just comes down to us fixing some things.”

The wide receiver made 10 catches for 121 yards and rushed the ball three
times for 27 yards and a touchdown. Brett Hodges, who threw one touchdown pass and four interceptions, was 21-for-34 for 266 yards for Central Florida (2-2, 0-2).

Perry races past Woods in Tour Championship THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kenny Perry already has had a week to remember at the Tour Championship. He was honored with the Payne Stewart Award. How about this to top it off? A two-shot lead going into today, a final pairing with Tiger Woods, his entire family in town, and a chance to capture the Tour Championship, and maybe even the $10 million bonus for winning the FedEx Cup. His round Saturday was magical enough. Perry birdied the open-
ing four holes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all on putts inside 8 feet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to quickly catch up to Woods, then kept bogeys off his card the rest of the way for a 6under 64. For Perry to win the FedEx Cup, he would need a victory today and for Woods to finish in a three-way tie for third or worse. That remains a possibility, given the players stacked up behind them. Phil Mickelson continued to ooze confidence with his putter and shot a 4-under 66, suddenly believing he can make any
putt whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from 4 feet or 40 feet. He was at 4under 206 along with Sean Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hair (70), who was tied with Woods until pulling a tee shot into the water on the 17th to make double bogey.
Hokies hammer Hurricanes THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BLACKSBURG, Va. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jacory Harris planned to play it cool against Virginia Tech. The 11th-ranked Hokies blew up that plan in about five minutes, harassing the Hurricanesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; quarterback and dominating No. 9 Miami 31-7 in a downpour on Saturday. Miami, ranked in the top 10 for the first since 2005, had a chance to take a commanding lead in the ACCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coastal Division. Instead, Virginia Tech (3-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), Miamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third consecutive ranked opponent, cooled of the Hurricanes. Miami fell to 2-1, 2-1. Harris finished 9-for25 for 150 yards and was sacked three times.
(15) TCU 14, CLEMSON 10 CLEMSON, S.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; No. 15 TCU showed off its stellar defense and bolstered its BCS buster credentials with a 14-10 victory at Clemson on Saturday. Andy Dalton threw two touchdown passes and the Horned Frogs (3-0) held Clemson to 125 yards in the second half to take control. The Tigers (2-2) twice advanced inside TCUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20 down the stretch but could not score. Tigers star C.J. Spiller rushed for 114 yards and a touchdown.
SOUTH FLORIDA 17, (18) FLORIDA ST. 7 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; South Florida shocked No. 18 Florida State 177 Saturday. It was the first meeting between the schools and came in front of Florida Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest home crowd in four years. B.J. Daniels, a redshirt freshman who grew up in Tallahassee and was largely ignored by Florida State recruiters, dismantled the Seminolesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense. Daniels ran for 126 yards, threw two touchdown passes and accounted for 341 of USFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 368 yards. FSU (2-2) lost four fumbles. South Florida is 4-0.

RUTGERS 34, MARYLAND 13
CARY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tom Pernice Jr. moved into position to become the 15th player to win his Champions Tour debut, shooting his second bogey-free 5-under 67 on Saturday to take a one-shot lead in the SAS Championship.
COLLEGE PARK, Md. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; George Johnson recovered a Maryland fumble in the end zone to give Rutgers the lead, and the Scarlet Knights also scored on an interception return in a 34-13 victory over the Terps.

Falcons face true test in New England Heady with success, the Atlanta Falcons head to the road for the first time. Following dominant wins over Miami and Carolina, the Falcons face the unenviable task of visiting New England. Then again, this trip might not be the overwhelming challenge most teams have faced this decade in Foxborough. The Patriots are struggling to find a rhythm and ways to better protect Tom Brady. So far, the Falcons have looked more like the Patriots than New England has. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that we are able to have a fast start at 2-0 is huge for us,â&#x20AC;? said Falcons fullback Ovie Mughelli. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact we can go out there and just prove to ourselves and everybody that last year wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a fluke and we are a good team. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a wishy-washy, up-and-down type of organization. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the type who can be good and be good for a long time, and with the players we have here and the coaches and assistants we have in place, I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re set to do that.â&#x20AC;? The Patriots have only done that for eight years, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve looked vulnerable on offense and defense in a one-point victory over Buffalo and a 16-9 loss to the
Jets in which New York was the more physical, more aggressive and, dare we say it, better-coached team. The biggest concern is needing Brady to throw so much â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 100 times already â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and his getting battered by pass rushers. Ideally, Brady would have gotten some time after missing last season to become reacquainted with the dangers of playing quarterback in the NFL. Instead, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been pressured almost nonstop, and the Falcons already have five sacks. Elsewhere today, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Washington at Detroit; Tennessee at the New York Jets; Green Bay at St. Louis; Cleveland at Baltimore; San Francisco at Minnesota; Jacksonville at Houston; the New York Giants at Tampa Bay; Kansas City at Philadelphia; Chicago at Seattle; New Orleans at Buffalo; Miami at San Diego; Denver at Oakland; Pittsburgh at Cincinnati; and Indianapolis at Arizona.

DOVER, Del. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Clint Bowyer raced to his second Nationwide Series victory of the season on Saturday, taking the lead with 83 laps to go on the concrete at Dover International Speedway. His celebration was ignored as all attention turned to a brief, but heated, confrontation on pit road between Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski. They made contact late in the race, sending Hamlin to the garage. Keselowski finished third and was greeted when he got out of his car by an angry Hamlin. They exchanged words, and Hamlin shoved Keselowski. Keselowskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public relations rep shoved Hamlin. The crews for both drivers got between the drivers. Keselowski crew chief Tony Eury Jr. ended it after a brief chat with Hamlin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to talk to him,â&#x20AC;? Hamlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He obviously needs some sort of guidance on what he needs to do to make it.â&#x20AC;?
Martin defies age to lead Cup standings DOVER, Del. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The oldest driver in Sprint Cup happens to be the best one in the sport this season. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s won more races than Tony Stewart. Has more poles than Jimmie Johnson. He has earned more respect than any other driver in the garage and is the sentimental favorite to win his first Cup title. At 50 years old, Mark Martin defies his age on the track. Martin may be the elder statesmen, but that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stopped the gray-haired veteran from chasing the championship. He leads the points standings heading into Week 2 of the Chase for the championship at Dover International Speedway, the concrete track where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s won four times. Keep up this pace, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll finally have that elusive first championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m having the time of my life,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. When the green flag drops today, Martin will officially make his 750th Cup start, making him only the ninth driver in history to reach that mark. He was 40 wins, 253 top-five finishes and 411 top10s in the first 749 starts. The one number that seems the most astounding of them all is his age: 50. At a time in life when most athletes have long settled into cozy retirement, Martin is among the rare breed that not only actively participates, but thrives. Four-time series champion Jeff Gordon knows Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s break, when he ran a partial schedule in 2007 and 2008,
helped re-energize him. Gordon wonders if another season or two of the season grind will eventually affect Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see how and what all takes place two or three years from now when he has been back in the grind a little while,â&#x20AC;? Gordon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I know he is having a lot of fun this year and obviously that team is doing a great job.â&#x20AC;? Martin, who qualified 14th for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race, holds a 35-point lead over threetime defending Cup champion Johnson and Denny Hamlin. Martin has two top-10s in his last two races at Dover. Johnson won the race here in May and starts from the pole as he tries for the season sweep of the Monster Mile. With nine races left to decide the champion, Martin has a favorable stretch of tracks ahead. He has four wins at Charlotte, two each at Martinsville, Talladega and Phoenix, and one win apiece at Kansas, California and Texas. Homestead-Miami Speedway, the last race of the season, is the only Chase track where he has failed to win a Cup race. Martin leads the series with five wins, including last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chase opener at New Hampshire. The victory was the 40th of his career and made him one of three active drivers to reach that milestone, along with Hendrick teammates Johnson and Gordon.
Hamilton takes Singapore Formula One pole SINGAPORE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lewis Hamilton of McLaren took the pole position Saturday for the Singapore Grand Prix, while Formula One championship leader Jen-
son Button had a â&#x20AC;&#x153;disastrousâ&#x20AC;? qualifying session. Button will start from 12th on the grid, behind teammate Rubens Barrichello, who qualified fifth.
the Modifieds about a 40-minute window for practice. Todd Szegedy led the field during the abbreviated practice for the Made In America Whelen 300, touring the demanding track during practice with a time of 19.133 seconds (97.841 mph). Donny Lia, a former Martinsville winner, was second with a time of 19.172 (97.642 mph). Glenn Tyler was fourth with Johnny Bush and Ronnie Silk completing the top five.

How to avoid getting your kicks T
he rifle was called a mountain rifle and it was designed to be carried up and down mountains all day. This meant all the weight that could be trimmed off, had been. It weighed well under seven pounds with the scope and was chambered for 7MM Remington Magnum. To say it was a kicker would be quite an understatement. It kicked like a goosed mule. When you pulled SPORTS the crisp trigger the reaction was Dick immediate and Jones violent. This gun ■■■ hurt to shoot. I’d volunteered to help the owner sight it in and was starting to regret my decision. I’d fired about five shots and now had the gun shooting about two inches high at 100 yards, a shot could be held dead on from 25 yards to about 350 and not get out of a 9” circle. “Well, I’ve got it about where you want it.” I told the owner. “You should shoot it now and be sure you have the same zero.” I could tell the owner was reluctant, but he bravely sat down at the bench and shouldered his lightweight, long range wonder. Before the shot went off, I saw the flinch coming and taking a quick look in the spotting scope, I saw that the bullet had cut a long groove in the grass in front of the target. The shooter looked up at me a said, “That wasn’t so bad, where’d it go?” There’s something about recoil that makes guys get macho. Gunshop discussions involve tales of scope cuts on eyebrows and .44 magnum front sights leaving scars on foreheads but rarely involve recoil anticipation. You rarely talk to anyone who admits recoil bothers him but, as someone who has watched a lot of people sight in
GIVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT

While there are a lot of bore sighting devices that promise to save you money on ammunition and zero your rifle in, I can assure you that none of them will do an adequate job for hunting purposes. Bore sighting devices that go into the chamber or bore of a gun and use a laser will get you close enough to get on paper but not close enough for hunting. How to use the Lead Sled to save ammunition when sighting in: In the old days, hunters saw the expense of shooting to be something to be avoided but they recognized the value of having a good zero. This is an old trick that will save you a lot of time and ammunition. Often, two shots are all that’s required to get a good zero. This is a method that’s to be used on rifles that have a known accuracy potential. If the gun is accurate, this’ll work. Fire one shot that catches paper. Stabilize the gun with the scope centered on the aiming point. With the gun stable, adjust the crosshairs on the scope to center on the bullet hole. If you held right and didn’t move the gun, the next shot will be right on. The Lead Sled is so easy to use in this exercise because the stability and weight that hold the gun in place for shooting and soaking up the recoil also stabilize the gun for adjusting the scope to the point of impact. On the Solo, there’s even a Velcro strap to help stabilize the gun. http://www.battenfeldtechnologies.com/caldwell – DICK JONES
guns, I can assure you that recoil is a factor for most shooters. The anticipation of recoil is called flinch and it affects even the best shooters. Flinch is an involuntary reflex

resulting from both gun noise and the actual kick of the gun. It’s normally manifested by the shooter jerking just as the trigger is pulled. Normally, this causes the shot to go low but the jump is totally unpredictable. Normally, flinch is more likely to happen when shooting at a paper target but it can happen when the trophy of your life is in your sights, too. Many people who flinch don’t realize they’re doing it. Shooters who work their way gradually into heavy recoil are less likely to develop the problem. It’s easier to work your way up to heavy recoil than it is to get out of the habit once you’re afflicted. The best way to stop flinching once you’ve started is to shoot a lot with calibers that don’t kick a lot. Competitive shooters often use a method called ball and dummy, in which one person loads the gun for the person with the flinching problem. When the chamber is empty, the affected shooter sees his mistake and learns to follow through on the shot. In helping folks sight guns in, I see a lot of shooters shooting lightweight, high velocity rifles that exacerbate their problem with flinch. Often, these shooters want ultimate results from their rifles so they want to test a lot of different loads to find which load their rifle likes best.
To remember the exact time you learned something indicates that the knowledge gained made a permanent impression. The first time I ever saw a Lead Sled, I was at a SHOT Show in Las Vegas. I got to the end of an aisle and saw something I’d thought of many times but I’d never done anything about it. The machine that impressed me so was a rather heavy rifle rest that was adjustable and had a cradle that held the butt of the gun so the rest had to recoil with the firearm being fired on it. The genius of the device was the addition of weight to the gun. Target guns are always heavy. They’re heavy because the weight makes the gun stable but it also soaks up recoil. Recoil can be mathematically predicted and is a result of physics. Double the weight of the gun and you cut the recoil in half. There’s a tray on the bottom of the Lead Sled that will hold two bags of shot. The basic Lead Sled weighs about 15 pounds or so without lead in the tray and so renders the most vicious deer rifle into a puppy a child could shoot. The proof of any product is not how brilliant the idea is but rather how well it works in the real world. A .300 H&H Magnum recoils about like a 22/250 Remington. With one 25 pound bag in the tray, a .458 Winchester with 500 grain solids kicks about like a .243. The Lead Sled now comes in 4 models from the basic Solo version at $99.95 to the fully adjustable DFT at $249.95. If you’re putting a lot of rounds through one of the hard kicking, lightweight, magnums that have become so popular, any price will seem cheap. DICK JONES IS a freelance writer living in High Point.

HAPEL HILL – Anthony Dean “Tony” Griffey is using his speaking voice to help young singers tap their inner voices. The Grammy Award-winning High Point vocalist who performs mostly opera throughout the world is an artist-in-residence for 2009-10 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. As his own performance schedule allows, he teaches and coaches voice students and gives master classes open to the public. One was held Monday in a packed Hill Hall Auditorium. In the class, four students, all senior voice majors at Carolina, each performed a short piece accompanied only by piano. After each performance, Griffey worked with the student on improving his or her presentation, and several themes emerged: communication, storytelling and honesty in expressing feelings. Griffey served almost as a therapist, asking each student, “How did you feel about that?” Most said they were nervous on stage and believed the tension showed in their singing. He made it clear that nerves are normal, and he helped each find a way to overcome them. “Why do we get nervous?” he asked after tenor John Charles Clark of Hickory performed a Mozart aria in German. “It’s very tough not to be. As a singer, we don’t pull our instruments out of a case. We walk around with it 24-7.” He asked Clark if he danced. Some, Clark said, so Griffey instructed Clark to bound around

The High Point native will lead another master class at UNC-Chapel on March 15. the stage as he sang. Griffey prodded Clark to move increasingly more energetically. “Do some interpretive dance. Feel comfortable in your body. Move. Move,” Griffey said as he shadowed Clark’s movements. As Clark jumped around and turned red in the face, the tension seemed to leave his body. Griffey next worked with Clare FitzGerald, a soprano from Raleigh, on bringing meaning and emotion to the
words she sang. He instructed her to sing her aria using a nonsense syllable (“yang”). Then he held a hand mirror in front of her mouth and told her to stick her tongue out farther while singing. All the while, Griffey, behind the mirror, stuck his tongue out at the appropriate points. “Sometimes (both exercises) bring the voice out here instead

Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s badgering makes wife doubt her sanity D
ear Abby: My husband berates and belittles me constantly. He calls me â&#x20AC;&#x153;worthless, stupid, lazy, no-good and crazy.â&#x20AC;? He controls my every move and follows me around the kitchen when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to cook. I got so nervous last week that I dropped a kettle of soup and burned myself. He followed me into the laundry room, watched me load the washer before putting in the detergent, then yelled at me that I was doing it â&#x20AC;&#x153;backward.â&#x20AC;? He removes the dishes from the dishwasher and rearranges them so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the way he thinks they should be. He says I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything right, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m starting to believe him. I leave the house only for groceries. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid people are laughing and staring at me. I sleep half the day. I used to go out and have fun; now I sit at home with the drapes drawn. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the energy to clean the house. I cry every day. Our two boys are 8 and 11. He con-
trols their every move, too. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much stress in this house they are starting to turn against him. The emotional abuse started a couple of years ago. When I try to discuss ADVICE it, he calls me crazy and a liar and denies it. I used Dear to be healthy as a horse, Abby but now I have headaches â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; and stomach pains.

Dear Abby: I live with a wonderful woman with whom I am completely in love. I know she feels the same. My problem is she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell me what year she was born. I know sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s older than I am, but by how much I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. She told me that in her previous relationships her husband and boyfriend left
her for younger women. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve told her age has nothing to do with how I feel about her, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s afraid that if I know her exact age I will leave. I have done all I can to reassure her, but she still wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell me. What can I do to make her understand that her age is unimportant to me so far as how I feel about her? Or should I just forget about ever knowing her true age? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In Love in San Antonio Dear In Love: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done all you can. Your lady friend has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;snake bitâ&#x20AC;? twice. So if you really love her and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about her age, drop the subject, since you know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a painful one for her. Got it? To My Jewish Readers: At sundown, Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement and the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, begins â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a time for reflection, prayer and repentance. To all of you, may your fast be an easy one.
Teen bothered by constipation
D
ear Dr. Donohue: I am 18 and have had constipation for many months. I increased my fiber intake and I drink more water, but I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen much improvement. Having a bowel movement is difficult and painful. I take two stool softeners daily. Since it has lasted, could it be a sign of something more serious? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; J.R. Constipation is usually a problem of older people. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defined as fewer than three bowel movements a week or as stool that has become hard and difficult to pass regardless of frequency. At any age, but especially at your age, underlying ailments must be considered. Diabetes, misfiring of nerves to the digestive tract, irritable
bowel syndrome and low thyroid hormone can lead to constipation. These HEALTH conditions rarely are Dr. Paul found, but Donohue you should â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; see the family doctor since youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so young. If no underlying illness is found, then doing exactly as you are doing is the way to resolve constipation. Increase dietary fiber. Strive to get 25-35 grams a day. Foods such as whole-grain breads and cereals, vegetables, fruits, brown rice and nuts are good fiber sources. Many cereals are fortified with fiber â&#x20AC;&#x201C; All Bran, Shredded
Wheatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;N Bran and Raisin Bran are examples. Bran is the outer coat of grains, the stuff thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discarded when grains are refined. You can buy it in healthfood stores. Sprinkle it on foods. Increase your water intake, but you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to slug down glass after glass. Keep on using the stool softeners. Fiber doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work for all. It can take a couple of months, so be patient. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not better in two months, turn to laxatives. Laxatives have gotten a bad reputation. They were said to be habit-forming, and it was thought that the bowel would become dependent on them. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the case. However, they should be used only when needed. You can start with something like milk of magnesia.
ONE STAR: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

Key to good parenting defies scientific explanation Q
uestion: What does behavioral research say about raising children? Have studies spelled out what works and what doesn’t, especially regarding how to discipline? Dr. Dobson: My answer may sound like heresy coming from a man who spent 10 years of his life as a professor of pediatrics, responsible for medical and behavioral research, but I don’t believe the scientific community is capable of determining the best parenting techniques. There have been some worthwhile studies, but the subject of discipline almost defies definitive investigation. Why? Because the only way to study this topic scientifically would be to place newborns randomly in “permissive” vs. “disciplined” families and then keep them under close observation for ten or fifteen years. Since it is impossible to do that, researchers have tried to tease out information where they could find it. But family relationships are so multidimensional and complicated that they almost
defy rigorous scrutiny. Indeed, most of the studies reported in the literature are scientifically useless. For example, the late Dr. David Larson, psychiatrist and a researcher at the National Institutes FOCUS of Health, reviewed 132 articles in professional ON THE journals that purported to FAMILY investigate the long-term consequences of corporal Dr. James punishment. He found Dobson most of them flawed in ■■■ design. Ninety percent of the studies failed to distinguish between good homes where spanking was administered by loving parents, and those bordering on (or actually inflicting) child abuse. This distinction is critical for obvious reasons. Dr. Larson concluded that the findings were invalidated by this failure to consider the overall health of family relationships. To repeat, the consequences of various

ear Dr. Fox: Our happy, sweet female Samoyed is the picture of health and, at almost 14 years old, looks and acts like a much younger dog, except when it comes to her mouth and teeth. We adopted her when she was 5 years old and noticed right away that her teeth were a mess. I began brushing them, and it quickly became a nightly ritual that she adores. Even with daily brushing, she still has bleeding gums, bad breath, broken teeth and cavities/abscesses. She has undergone several professional cleanings and tooth extractions. Most recently, five teeth were removed, including two of the large molars. The vet said many of her roots are reabsorbing into the jawbone, including teeth that are otherwise healthy. The vet does not know what is causing the ongoing problems and suggested it might be a hereditary
condition. For the past year, she has been on “pulse therapy” and is takANIMAL ing clindamycin one DOCTOR week a month with Dr. Michael the hope Fox of keeping ■■■ bacteria at bay. We also apply OraVet to her teeth weekly. She has become a dirt lover, digging small holes so she can eat soil. Her diet consists of Solid Gold Holistic Blend with Solid Gold Seameal and a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits. She has a healthy appetite and no digestive issues. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. – C.M., Orono, Minn.
is the case. An autoimmune disorder may also be at the root of the problem. Oral gel and spray formulations, such as PetzLife Oral Care, along with rubbing the teeth and gums with aloe vera extract at least twice daily may help. The herbal medicine Sangre de Drago may also help fight infection and promote healing. The bacterial population in your dog’s entire digestive system should be enriched with beneficial organisms called probiotics. Also, discuss giving your dog additional immune-system support with antioxidant supplements like zinc, selenium, magnesium, quercetin and vitamins A, C, D and E.
approaches to parental discipline appear to be beyond the reach of social research. It is simply not possible to study this complex subject scientifically without warping families to set up the research design. If such studies were conducted, the researchers would be studying contrived families – not typical parent-child relationships.
Question: My wife and I are keenly aware of how difficult it is to be good parents, and at times, we feel very inadequate to do the job. How does a mom or dad know what’s best for a child from day to day? Dr. Dobson: The most dedicated parents go through times when they fear they aren’t responding properly to their children. They wonder if they’re overreacting or underreacting, being too strict or too lenient. They suspect that they’re making major mistakes that will haunt them later on. Fortunately, parents don’t have to do everything right. We all make
thousands of little mistakes – and a few big ones – that we wish we could reverse. But somehow, most kids roll with these blunders and come out just fine anyway. Let me give you what I consider to be the key to good parenting. It is to learn how to get behind the eyes of your child, seeing what he sees and feeling what he feels. When you know his frame of mind, your response becomes obvious. For example, when he’s lonely, he needs your company. When he’s defiant, he needs your help in controlling impulses. When he’s afraid, he needs the security of your embrace. When he’s happy, he needs to share his laughter and joy with those he loves. Raising healthy children, then, is not so much a science as it is a highly developed art, and most of us have the natural intuitive faculties to learn it. Take the time to observe the kids living with you. If you tune in closely to what they say and do, the feelings behind those behaviors will soon become apparent. Then your reaction to what you’ve seen will lead to more confident parenthood.

Athens: a capital idea It’s no longer cheap, but bargains exist BY DEREK GATOPOULOS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
A
AP
Tourists wait in front of the Parthenon temple on the top of Acropolis hill in Athens. Museum, located at Koumbari 1, $8.80 (euro6), free on Thursdays; www. benaki.gr/index.asp. FOOD: Athens offers an abundance of dining options. Every neighborhood has a weekly street market for fruit and vegetables and good traditional restaurants, or tavernas, where tables remain stacked with side dishes and pint-sized copper jugs with house wine, well past midnight. The meat is always well done. Many tavernas run good scooter-delivery services,
In June, Athens opened a new museum to display and protect some 4,000 statues and ancient artwork from the Acropolis. while wine from the barrel can be bought at corner shops. Except for busy tourist areas, tavernas rarely pinch on their portions. Meat-loving Greeks eat late, take their time, and tip around 10 percent. Foreign cuisine tends to be hit-and-miss and overpriced. For something different, try Archaion Gefsis with recipes made from ingredients only used in ancient Greece (22 Kodratou, book at 210-5239661);
or a classic meal at Kappari (36 Doreion, book at 210-3450288) which offers a great mix of traditional and modern food. Ask about specials. Tzitzikas kai Mermingas, just off Athens’ main Syntagma Square, is another good choice (Mitropoleos 12, 210-3247607). Hotel rooftop restaurants, often overlooked but usually expensive, offer great views. Good, though sometimes pretentious, restaurants can be found at main areas where Athenians gather at night – trendy Psyrri and Thisseio, edgy Exarchia, or fast-expanding Gazi, which is also part of the city’s relatively new gay scene. All these areas are packed with bars and clubs. Plaka, the city’s historical neighborhood under the Acropolis, also has places to eat, but many establishments are overrun by tourists. Though Greeks love their creamy chocolate cake, many sweets are eastern, like the syrupdrenched baklava, made with phyllo pastry sheets and chopped nuts. Eastern sweets are sold at Chatzis, near Syntagma Square (Mitropoleos 5, 210-3222647) DRINK: Greece makes great white and red wine, often sold from the barrel, but quality varies greatly. Amethystos and Domaine Vassiliou are good bottled brands, found at wine shops and good supermarkets. The national spirit, anise-fla-
vored ouzo, turns cloudy with added water and is served with seafood. Try equally potent tsipouro for better odds at escaping a hangover. Greeks don’t rush their coffee, generally drunk strong and sweet, so cafes usually overcharge. Iced instant coffee – or frappe – is a national favorite and competes with many sugary modern variants. SHOPPING: Souvenirs run from elegant jewelry and fine carpets to the nasty Acropolis fridge magnet. Walk down the main streets of Monastiraki and car-free Plaka for the full experience. Leather goods and silverware are well priced. Most store owners don’t enjoy aggressive haggling but may respond to a polite request for a “better price” if possible. Ruby’s jeweler in Plaka (Adrianou 105, 210-3223312) is a welcome break from the irritating salesmen. Athens also maintains its tradition of kiosks, miniature hubs of commerce that sell beer, ice cream, baby wipes, aspirins, umbrellas, and other small necessities, including sometimes international newspapers and magazines. Many old tailors and craftsmen still have shops in the city’s commercial triangle, bound between Stadiou, Ermou and Athinas streets. They’re hard to spot, but ask a store owner to direct you. The tailors’ skills are dying, but there are still places where you can show
a seamstress a wedding gown from a magazine and they’ll make you an exact copy for a bargain. The classic shopping strip is Ermou Street, in the heart of Athens. LODGING: Athens is no longer just a stop en route to the islands, thanks in part to the overhaul of the hotel industry for the 2004 Olympics. There are many decent downtown hotels. If booking on the Internet, generally avoid the area around Omonia Square and around Patission and Athinas Streets unless you thoroughly check the reviews. Hotels there, billed as central, are often seedy. One hotel popular with young travelers is Athens Studios, with clean and simple rooms, near the New Acropolis Museum, and its own laundry facilities; www.athensstudios.gr. Also popular is the Tempi Hotel in Monastiraki, offering good rates and location; www.tempihotel.gr. Slightly farther from the center is the Hotel Tony, on a quiet street in the Koukaki neighborhood; www.hoteltony.gr . FOR MORE INFORMATION: Check listings in the English language Athens News – www.athensnews.gr/ but there’s more in the print version – and Athens Plus, which posts the entire newspaper online as a pdf – www. ekathimerini.com.

common practice seen as a courtesy by stranded commuters. The global franchise City Sightseeing runs tours with open-top double-decker buses. Tickets are priced at $26.30 (euro18) for the tour that’s ideal if you’re short on time. Several mini-train rides, like Sunshine Express, priced at $7.30 (euro5), are popular with families; www.citysightseeing.com or www. sunshine-express.gr. THE SITES: The marble monuments on the Acropolis date from the height of Athens’ power and influence, 2,500 years ago. The Parthenon is the main building, dedicated to the city’s ancient protector, goddess Athena, and is the iconic image most visitors simply call “the Acropolis” – Greece’s greatest monument. Over centuries, it was turned into churches, then a mosque, and was more seriously damaged by wars than time. Sculptures were removed – out of greed or for protection, depending on whom you believe – and are now in the British Museum. In June, Athens opened an enormous new museum to display and protect some 4,000 statues and ancient artwork from the Acropolis and to press Greece’s standing demand for the return of the Parthenon sculptures from London. Other must-sees: the National Archaeological Museum, which has many of the most important ancient finds from all over Greece; the Herod Atticus Theater, restored in the 1950s and used for open-air concerts in summer; the ancient Agora or marketplace, a great place to view the sites while finding shade from the summer sun; and the marble Panathenian Stadium, restored for the first modern Olympics in 1896 and still used for important events. It’s the finishing point for the annual classic 26-mile (42-kilometer) race from Marathon to Athens. The best one-stop option is the excellent Benaki

THENS, Greece – Athens is no longer a discount destination. Cab fares, taverna meals, and other costs have steadily crept up. Many Greeks blame the euro for higher prices following the demise of the unsteady drachma, Europe’s oldest currency. But Athens, noisy and densely populated, remains a place where outdoor enjoyment is a way of life: open-air cinemas, restaurants and bars with little care for closing time, and late-night walks made safe because so many people remain outside at all hours. Of course ancient sites abound, and not just the Acropolis that looks over Athens and is spectacularly lit up at night. You’ll bump into marble monuments and centuries-old churches all over and even below ground: on the new subway system, ancient artifacts are displayed where they were excavated. Public transport is reasonable and subsidized. Once-shabby hotels have been smartened up since the 2004 Athens Olympics, and have kept their rates down because of the economic downturn. And don’t buy a guidebook that says Athens is heavily polluted. It hasn’t been for more than a decade, since cleaner cars were introduced and factories were pushed out of urban areas. GETTING AROUND: Crammed with apartment blocks, Athens offers residents little tranquility, but its compact city center is easily toured on foot. A new walkway, sometimes called the grand promenade, was finished for the Olympics and takes you around the Acropolis Hill for a half-hour stroll through the ancient center to Thisseio, a district where main streets are lined with bars and cafes. The walk is a good starting point for a visit. Public transport is integrated. A $1.50 (euro1) ticket gives you a 90-minute pass to hop on and off buses, trams and subways; www.oasa.gr/index.asp. Yellow taxis are everywhere but no longer cheap, with daytime fares set to rise to $1.05 (euro0.72) per kilometer next year. Most but not all cab drivers are honest; they can occasionally be heard bragging about overcharging tourists. The most common scam is to turn off the meter and quote an inflated price. Don’t be surprised if taxi drivers pick up other passengers on a long fare – technically illegal but a

Look for bears, berries on High Divide trail BY GEORGE TIBBITS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
IF YOU GO...
----
O
LYMPIC NATIONAL PARK, Wash. – “Did you see the bear?” the backpacker standing at the side of the trail asked. “He sure saw you.” Well, no, I’d missed him, screened by a few trees even though we peacefully passed within about 200 yards of each other. But I had excuses: Like the bear, I was stuffing myself with wild blueberries. And unlike the bear, I was frequently finding myself staring slack-jawed at the astonishingly beautiful vistas of Olympic National Park’s High Divide trail. The 18.2-mile wilderness loop on the Olympic Mountains’ northwest side is a sampler of what the park has to offer: old-growth forest, river canyons and waterfalls, subalpine meadows, a high, rugged basin dotted by peaceful lakes, views of Mount Olympus and other peaks – nearly everything but the park’s ocean beaches and rain forests. You won’t be lonely – it’s justifiably popular as one of the Pacific Northwest’s classic backpacking trips – but there’s more than enough room to be off by yourself. “It’s a hike where you get to see the old-growth forest at the lower end and then the spectacular high country,” said Bryan Bell, the park’s Wilderness Information Center supervisor. “It’s great for wildflowers, fall colors, wildlife.” You can do the loop in one long day, but I gave myself four on a late summer solo trip, both to accommodate a five-hour drive from Seattle and to allow plenty of time to laze, mosey and explore. My trip coincided with rare cloudless days, but anyone doing the loop should be prepared for sudden weather changes regardless of the season. Bring warm clothes and rain gear. Snow is common on the trail until mid-July, and the short summer means plants and animals have to act quickly. High-country wildflow-

The National Park Service rates August and September as the route’s best months. Winter weather usually arrives in late October or early November. The compact but isolated Olympic Mountains have animals found nowhere else, including the Olympic marmot, chipmunk and short-tailed weasel, but also black-tailed deer, mountain goats, bobcats, cougars, elk and black bears. Bears, such as my inadvertent dining companion, are common sights – if you pay attention – but pose little danger if you leave them be and take normal precautions, especially keeping camps free of loose food and garbage. Bear canisters, tough plastic containers to hold food, toothpaste
and other items that bears and other critters find flavorful, are required in much of the park and a good idea elsewhere, not only to thwart bears but raccoons and other camp robbers. The Wilderness Information Center will lend you one for a modest donation. Bell says the trail is the busiest high-country wilderness area in the park during the summer. The park limits the number of campers per night to lessen the impact, and it’s often filled. From the 1,900-foot elevation trailhead at the end of the Sol Duc River road, it’s an easy 0.8-mile walk to gaze for a few minutes at Sol Duc Falls. Then either go left up the Sol Duc valley to the high country, or head right, up the steeper Canyon Creek trail to Deer Lake, 3.8 miles away.

“A lot of teachers come in and are really technical and don’t address the dramatic aspect, but he really helped me with that,” Clark said. “It’s so helpful to see someone who has garnered so much success give you room to be yourself,” said Clare FitzGerald. “It’s a huge sigh of relief to a singer to be told to do it as yourself and in a way that makes sense to you.” “He pulls out all the good things and focuses on what you’re feeling inside,” said Catherine Park. “It’s nice to watch people get out of their shell and start connecting with the audience and what they’re singing about. Somebody may have the voice, but to have the gift to get it out...” vknopfler@hpe.com / 888-3601

of in your head. ... If you were backstage at the Met you’d hear all sorts of exercises,” he said. “The truth of the matter is that I kept my individuality,” he said. “It was Beverly Johnson (a teacher) who helped me get in my body. I’m a big guy; I’m 6-4, and I feel comfortable in my body. “Beautiful voices are a dime a dozen, but it’s what you do with it.” Zachary Ballard, a baritone from Mooresville, said he felt too inside himself, so Griffey worked with him on telling the story of the song. He instructed Ballard to sing the French piece using English. “What is singing?” Griffey said. “It’s an
extension of speech, so I really want to hear those words. Take it off the page and communicate. ... I wasn’t good at speaking when I was little. I was shy – many singers are – so I would sing what I wanted to say. ... “It’s about being honest. Someone asked me last week, ‘How do you sing things you don’t feel?’ You have to go out and have life experiences you can tap into.” By the time Catherine Park, a soprano from Raleigh, took the stage, she’d incorporated many of the previous lessons and earned a “pretty awesome” from Griffey, who nonetheless followed her around the stage prompting her to “ release ... stay
connected ... take us on the journey with you ... connect with us.” Griffey, who studied at The Juilliard School, Eastman School of Music and the Metropolitan Opera, makes it a point never to demonstrate how to sing. Too often when he was a student, instructors used master classes as an opportunity to show off their vocal skills. “I try to put it into words and give them a good vocabulary on what they should do,” he said. He also doesn’t coach students during master classes on technical aspects because he believes that by the time vocalists get on stage, technique should be in their muscle
memory, thus allowing them to concentrate on communicating and telling a story. He tells students some of his story and encourages them to ask questions so they might learn about the life of a professional vocalist. “A big thing for my teaching is why we sing and what it’s all about,” he said. Griffey made it a point Monday to let students on stage and in the audience know that he, too, is still a student and still learning. “I’m always open. I don’t have all the answers, but I’m always open.” vknopfler@hpe.com / 888-3601
GETTING THERE: From Port Angeles, drive west on U.S. 101 to the Sol Duc River road. Follow it to the end and the trailhead, about 40 miles in all. TRAIL DATA: The loop itself is 18.2 miles, but side trips and roaming easily add 10 or more. Elevation gain is 3,050 feet. Best time is mid-July through September; fall offers colorful foliage. WEATHER: Can and does change suddenly. Expect rain and cold, no matter the time of year. It can snow in August, and rain gear and warm, layerable clothes need to be in your pack, even on shorts-and-T-shirt days. PERMITS: Required for all overnight trips into the Olympic wilderness backcountry. They cost $5, plus $2 per person per night, in addition to the $15 per vehicle park entrance fee. RESERVATIONS: Overnight permits are limited in the Sol Duc area between May 1 and Sept. 30. Reservations up to 30 days in advance are available from the Olympic National Park Wilderness Information Center in Port Angeles, (360) 565-3100. CAMP CRAFT: All food, garbage and scented items must be stored in parkapproved bear canisters in the Sol Duc area. The Wilderness Information Center can lend you one.

Sol Duc Park, Heart Lake, Lunch Lake and Deer Lake have primitive toilets. Water is readily available except for the highelevation trail between Deer Lake and Heart Lake. Boil, filter or chemically treat all water to avoid getting sick. Campfires are not allowed above 3,500 feet.

Vandalism forces Paris catacombs to close PARIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Parisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; underground bone collection, the catacombs, has been closed to the public indefinitely after being vandalized. Ordinarily, the creepy collection of human remains â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cleared from city cemeteries long ago â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is orderly, with bones piled in stacks along underground tunnels. But a post-vandalism photo in Le Parisien newspaper showed bones and skulls scattered along the walking paths. Isabelle Montagne, the spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, said that an investigation has been opened into the weekend incidents.
The catacombs have been closed because the littered site has become hazardous, she said. Montagne and a police spokesman declined to give details of the damage. The catacombs are a vast underground network tunnel of tunnels holding the bones of more than 6 million Parisians. Near the end of the 18th century, Parisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cemeteries were filled to capacity, so city officials decided to transfer the contents of graves to quarries. The section open to the public is only a sampling of the secret world: More than 186 miles of tunnels lie beneath the city.

Engineering aide Ralph Oakleaf, of Wilmington, Mass., puts a cover on a flywheel at Beacon Power Corp., in Tyngsboro, Mass. The company’s flywheel plant will act as a short-term energy storage system for New York’s electrical distribution system, storing excess energy off the grid when supply is high, then returning it when demand surges.
Give it a spin Flywheels said to make greener energy BY JAY LINDSAY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
TYNGSBOROUGH, Mass. — Spinning flywheels have been used for centuries for jobs from making pottery to running steam engines. Now the ancient tool has been given a new job by a Massachusetts company: smooth out the electric-
Beacon Power’s flywheels each weigh one ton, levitate in a sealed chamber and spin up to 16,000 times per minute. ity flow, and do it fast and clean. Beacon Power’s flywheels — each weighing one ton, levitating in a sealed chamber and spinning up to 16,000 times per minute — will make the electric grid more efficient and green, the company says. It’s being given a chance to prove it: the U.S. Department of Energy has granted Beacon a $43 million conditional loan guarantee to construct a 20-megawatt flywheel plant in upstate New York.
“We are very excited about this technology and this company,” said Matt Rogers, a senior adviser to the Secretary of Energy. “It’s a lower (carbon dioxide) impact, much faster response for a growing market need, and so we get pretty excited about that.” Beacon’s flywheel plant will act as a short-term energy storage system for New York’s electrical distribution system, sucking excess energy off the grid when supply is high, storing it in the flywheels’ spinning cores, then returning it when demand surges. The buffer protects against swings in electrical power frequency, which, in the worst cases, cause blackouts. Such frequency regulation makes up just 1 percent of the total U.S. electricity market, but that’s equal to more than $1 billion annually in revenues. The job is done now mainly by fossil-fuel powered generators that Rogers said are one-tenth the speed of flywheels and create double the carbon emissions. Beacon said the carbon emissions saved over the 20-year life of a single 20megawatt flywheel plant are equal to the carbon reduction achieved by planting 660,000 trees. Flywheels also figure into the emerging renewable energy market, where intermittent energy sources such as wind and solar provide power at wildly varying intensities, depending on how long the breeze blows and sun shines. That increases the need for the faster frequency buffering, Rogers
A year from now, the Westin Peachtree Hotel in Atlanta will be back to normal – all sleek, shiny, smoky black and green. Green? Not the color. Last year’s tornado, which broke hundreds of windows in the iconic downtown hotel, is giving the building’s owners a chance to repair it with more efficient and environmentally-friendly materials. The building’s 6,350 windows will be thicker, more tinted and have heavier glass to provide better insulation and cut energy costs, said Westin general manager Ed Walls. “There are two reasons for doing it,” Walls said: “It’s the right thing to do, and we’ll see a good return on our investment.” Going green in buildings used to be the domain of deep-pocketed companies looking to boost their image or smaller businesses launching efforts to recycle plastic bottles and cut down on paper waste. Not anymore. Green is fast gaining acceptance as a way to not only save money on energy and operating costs in buildings, but also as a way to lure tenants, qualify for tax breaks and attract clients, whether they are environmentally conscious companies or leisure travelers who prefer hotels that conserve.

Bill Capp, president and chief executive officer of Beacon Power Corp., poses next to a one megawatt flywheel computer monitoring station at the company in Tyngsboro, Mass. The flywheel plant will act as a short-term energy storage system for New York’s electrical distribution system, storing excess energy off the grid when supply is high, then returning it when demand surges. said. Dan Rastler of the Electric Power Research Institute, an industry research group, added that if a carbon tax is passed by Congress, flywheels start looking a lot better than fossil-fuel powered alternatives. Beacon’s flywheels, massive carbon and fiberglass cylinders, have already been tested on a small scale in New York, California and the company’s Tyngsborough offices. Chief executive officer Bill Capp hopes the Stephentown, N.Y., plant will be up and running by the end of 2010. Flywheels are rotating discs or cylinders that
store energy as motion, like the bicycle wheel that keeps rotating long after a pedal’s been turned. That energy can be drawn off smoothly depending on the needs of the user, such as when the speed of a potter’s wheel is adjusted to shape the clay as desired. The basics of Beacon’s flywheels seem simple enough as they spin silently in their chambers in a small facility outside Beacon’s Tyngsborough plant. But the technological challenges to create them were immense and have cost Beacon $180 million, so far. For instance, the one-

ton flywheel had to be durable enough to spin smoothly at exceptionally high speeds. To avoid losing stored energy to friction, the flywheel levitates between magnets in a vacuum chamber. “We’ve pretty much demonstrated that it works, it’s just a question of scaling,” Capp said. “The more we run, the more people get comfortable with us.” Beacon’s flywheels are powered by the excess energy they take off the grid. When demand for electricity surges, the flywheels even things out and return the energy to the grid by slowing down.

On Sept. 27, 2003, fishing boats lie down at an Otsu port after a tidal wave hit the area in Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido one day after a magnitude-8 earthquake rocked northern Japan. The tsunami alert, issued within minutes of the earthquake, didn’t seem terribly ominous. But by the time it was lifted, fishing boats had been tossed ashore, coastal towns flooded. A reader-submitted question about when tsunami alerts are needed is being answered as part of an Associated Press Q&A column called “Ask AP.”
Questions concern tsunami alerts, balanced budget THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
When it comes to producing a tsunami, does it matter if an earthquake is moving the seafloor up, down or side to side? Curiosity about what sorts of seaquakes would set off a tsunami alert inspired one of the questions in this edition of “Ask AP,” a weekly Q&A column where AP journalists respond to readers’ questions about the news. If you have your own news-related question that you’d like to see answered by an AP reporter or editor, send it to newsquestions(at)ap. org, with “Ask AP” in the subject line. And please include your full name and hometown so they can be published with your question. Q. When was the last time the federal budget was balanced at $0.00, and under what president? Richard A. Stanley Greenfield, Ind. A. The budget has never been balanced at exactly zero, though Woodrow Wilson came close in 1913 and 1914, when the deficit was less than $1 million. Given the size of the economy, the deficit fluctuates a lot and it’s impossible to predict what it will be with any certainty, mostly because tax collections depend a lot on the economy and how the stock market is doing. For four years from 1998 to 2001, under presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, the U.S. government ran surpluses ranging from $69 billion to $236 billion. Those surpluses went away with the recession of 2001, the popping of the stock market bubble and a wave of spending
Thus a calculation that seismic movement was lateral would not be sufficient to deny a warning, he said. “Just the size of the earthquake is usually enough to set the ball in the wake of 9/11.

Fund honors fallen soldier BY GREGORY CHILDRESS MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS SERVICE
CHAPEL HILL – The family of a former University of North Carolina student killed while on patrol in Afghanistan last month has established a scholarship to honor his memory. The Morris L. Walker Memorial Scholarship fund was established to pay tribute to Morris “Mo” Walker’s “life and future ambitions” by encouraging students from his former high school to pursue a college education. The
$1,000 annual scholarship will be awarded to one Fayetteville Academy Senior High School student in Walker’s hometown of Fayetteville to assist with the cost of attending a four-year college or university. “The intent is to keep his memory alive and to reward a graduate of his preparatory school,” said Walker’s sister, Sabina Walker. “He loved that school.” The recipient of the scholarship must “demonstrate a commitment to academic excellence, participation in extracur-
ricular activities and an active pursuit of future ambitions and goals despite any hardships or challenges.” Walker is a 2004 graduate of the small, independent college preparatory school, which he attended for grades 6-12 and visited shortly before being deployed to Afghanistan in April. He attended UNC from 2004-08 and was a popular member of the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity. Walker was killed by an Improvised Explosive Device near the Forward Operating Base of Kushamond.
Audit addresses massive overtime claim BY RAY GRONBERG MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS SERVICE
DURHAM – Auditors are close to finishing their investigation of a Durham Police Department desk officer’s five-figure overtime claim, in time for department leaders to spend the next couple days drafting their response. City Manager Tom Bonfield said the Audit Ser-
vices Department investigators would give their final report on the matter to him, Deputy City Manager Wanda Page and Police Chief Jose Lopez. Bonfield has already seen some of the auditors’ findings, and talked with them on Monday. He asked them to look at a couple issues where “they needed more follow-up.” The auditors at Bonfield’s request are looking
into overtime claims filed by Officer Alesha Robinson-Taylor, who heads the Police Department’s towing and “secondary employment” office. City records show that since July 1, 2008, Robinson-Taylor has received $62,583 in overtime compensation. The figure is somewhat larger than the total that prompted Bonfield to order the investigation. The
discrepancy comes because administrators initially queried the most recent 12 months of records, which showed $59,454 in payments. The larger figure covers payments in fiscal 2008-09, plus those made in this fiscal year through Sept. 22. Robinson-Taylor received $52,398 in overtime in fiscal 2008-09 and so far has made another $10,185 in this fiscal year.

In this theater publicity image released by Boneau/Bryan-Brown, Gina Gershon (left) and John Stamos are shown in a scene from the Roundabout Theatre Company revival of “Bye Bye Birdie,” now in previews at Broadway’s Henry Miller’s Theatre and opening Oct. 15.
John Stamos, Gina Gershon say hello to ‘Bye Bye Birdie’ N
EW YORK (AP) – When John Stamos heard he’d be starring opposite Gina Gershon on Broadway this fall, he was beyond psyched. Not because he was intrigued to meet and work with Gershon on a revival of “Bye Bye Birdie,” though he was. Not because both had built up impressive Broadway credits, though they have. It was because she had been in “Showgirls.” “I’m fascinated. That’s all I care about,” Stamos says. “I make her do moves from it. I talk about how it was shot. I talk about what it was like.” A quick refresher: “Showgirls” was the trashy 1995 skin flick starring Elizabeth Berkley as an up-and-coming stripper who elbows her way to the top of a Vegas pole. Despite taking a grilling from critics, the film became something
I see it, honestly, that’s going to be the end of that – there’s going to be no turning back. I should probably wait a little bit because I will be shameless, ruthless.” Such gentle offstage teasing will be an asset when the two appear in the first Broadway revival of “Bye Bye Birdie” since the 1960 original introduced songs such as “A Lot of Livin’ to Do,” “Kids” and “Put on a Happy Face.” The show, produced by the Roundabout Theatre Company, involves an Elvis Presley-like rock played a stripper in the film. “She ’n’ roll star named Conrad Birdie survived that movie – a lot of and the effect his being drafted people didn’t,” he says. into the Army has on teens in a Gershon is putting up with small Ohio town.

AMEGO, Kan. (AP) – When “The Wizard of Oz” first hit theaters in August 1939, flying monkeys were the least of America’s worries. The Depression, already almost a decade long, continued to grind away, and Germany stood on the verge of invading Poland, igniting a global conflagration that would envelop the United States just two years later. Moviegoers needed escape. And along came Judy Garland’s Dorothy Gale, a Kansas farm girl whose ruby slippers stepped out of the dreary present and into a Technicolor future, a magical Oz populated by talking scarecrows, Munchkins, bubble-riding witches and a con man of a wizard who showed that all we ever needed was within ourselves. Seventy years after
its first screening, “The Wizard of Oz” headed back to theaters nationwide Sept. 23 for one night as Warner Bros. unveiled a technologically updated and
The new version provides textures and details that were invisible in past prints. improved version ahead of its release on Blu-ray Hi-Def. “A film like this, which is so unlike any other motion picture and so beloved by the public all over the world, it deserves to be seen in the best possible light,” said George Feltenstein, senior vice president of WB’s theatrical catalog marketing.
The world is no less scary than it was 70 years ago, and the fantasy genre has tilted ever darker through the years – nightmarish images from “Pan’s Labyrinth” or the “Harry Potter” and “The Lord of the Rings” films can make a wicked witch’s castle look downright homey. But despite its campy tone and crude special effects, “The Wizard of Oz” has retained its popularity. For many fans, the Sept. 23 showing was the first chance they’ve had to see “The Wizard of Oz” on the big screen since its last national theatrical release in 1955. And even frequent viewers will be in for a surprise, Feltenstein said, as the new version, digitally sharpened and brightened, provides textures and details that were invisible in past prints.

It’s not lunacy: Probes find water in moon dirt WASHINGTON (AP) – The moon isn’t the dry dull place it seems. Traces of water lurk in the dirt unseen. Three different space probes found the chemical signature of water all over the moon’s surface, surprising scientists who at first doubted the unexpected measurement until it was confirmed independently and repeatedly. It’s not enough mois-
ture to foster homegrown life, but if processed in mass quantities, it might provide resources – drinking water and rocket fuel – for future moon-dwellers, scientists say. It’s not a lot of water. If you took a two-liter soda bottle of lunar dirt, there would probably be a medicine dropperful of water in it, said University of Maryland astronomer Jessica Sunshine.

Carolyn Savage, 40, is seen at her home recently in Sylvania, Ohio. Savage says a fertility clinic implanted the wrong embryo and that the baby she is about to give birth to is not hers.
Couple giving up baby after clinic mix-up TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) – Carolyn Savage didn’t know what to think, what to say, where to look as the ultrasound wand glided over her belly. It was supposed to be her baby inside. Not someone else’s. Yet here she was in her doctor’s office with the baby’s biological mother, both brought together by a terrible error at a fertility clinic. A doctor, they said, had given Savage the wrong embryo, and now she was carrying the other woman’s child. “The wand is on my abdomen and
the technician’s talking to someone else: ‘There’s your baby’s nose. There’s your baby’s head,’ ” she said. “It was surreal.” Embryo mix-ups at fertility clinics are extremely rare. In those few instances, they’ve degenerated into custody battles, ugly lawsuits and at least one abortion. But not this time. Savage and her husband decided that the right thing – the only thing – to do was to give the baby to the biological parents. “This was someone else’s child,”
she said Wednesday. “We didn’t know who it was. We didn’t know if they didn’t have children or if this was their last chance for a child.” Savage, 40, is due to give birth to a boy within the next two weeks via cesarean section. When it happens, biological parents Paul and Shannon Morell, of the Detroit suburb of Troy, Mich., will be nearby, waiting to meet their son. “How do you thank somebody for what they’ve done?” Shannon Morell said. “I could say thank you a million different ways.”

Book details ups, downs of Obama marriage MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
After a microscopic look at several famous marriages, author Christopher Andersen takes his pen-or, some argue, a hatchet-to the Obamas in his latest book, “Barack and Michelle: PorObama trait of an American Marriage.” He describes a reluctant groom-to-be, sometimesstormy union, and woman sick of emptying his overflowing ashtrays – and being shut out by his ambition. He says the crucibles of battling infertility, helping to nurse daughter Sasha to health after meningitis, and coping with early political defeat (and debt), the Obamas survived-and thrived. By the inauguration they were “indisputably the First Couple not only of America but of the world.” On him: “He was the supremely confident overachiever whose fatherless childhood left him deeply scarred emotionally, the product of an exotic multicultural upbringing who yearned for roots and a sense of his own racial identity...” On her: “dutiful daughter ... corporate lawyer ... wife and mother who despised politicians but outperformed even the most seasoned of them as she helped her husband win the presidency.” The book, relying in part on unnamed sources, serves up plenty of dish from the Obamas’ youth, nearly 17-year marriage, and up-and-down journey to the White House. The book went on sale last week for $25.99.

ow that we’ve experienced the fallout from the subprime lending disaster, there is no longer such a thing as “easy money.” Now you need perhaps ten to fifteen percent down, an excellent credit record and verifiable proof of income when you apply for financing. One reason for all this scrutiny is that many lenders sell their loans on the secondary mortgage market, and they are using required (and automated) software to factor in all the variables in the equation that
results in a thumbs up or a thumbs down. In other words, it’s not quite as personal as it used to be.

Navigating the current starter home market E
ver since they wed three years ago, a third-grade teacher and her husband have yearned to own a home in a prized neighborhood. However, buying there in 2007 would have been beyond their reach. And doing so last year would have required that they take a far larger mortgage than they wanted. But 2009 proved golden for the couple. Recently they snagged a hefty discount on a commodious ranch house in their dream neighborhood. Moreover, at current mortgage rates, their house payments are just a tad higher than they’d been paying each month to rent a small apartment. “Like lots of first-time buyers, they’re very upbeat about buying a home this year when prices are so reasonable,” says Sid Davis, the real estate broker who represented the couple. In many areas – and there are exceptions – the enthusiasm of wannabe firsttime homebuyers has intensified every month since last spring, according to Davis, author of “A Survival Guide for Buying a Home.” Why do many people in their 20s and 30s view 2009 as a sweet time to break into homeownership? Davis cites several factors, including moderate home prices, low mortgage rates and the wide selection of properties now on the market. Also, first-timers who close on a home purchase before Dec. 1 are eligible for a federal tax credit of up to $8,000. (See the Internal Revenue Service Web site, www.irs.gov, for more information.) But the reality for many would-be homeowners is that they’re so uncomfortable with the home-buying process that moving forward into unknown territory is frightening, Davis contends. “There’s no shame in admitting you’re a novice on the ins and outs of real estate and mortgage finance. You just need to educate yourself,” he says. Here are pointers for first-time buyers: • Check in early with mortgage lenders. Obviously, the country’s financial crisis has led to major changes in the mortgage industry, including tighter standards as to who gets approved for a home loan. In this new environment, those who fare best are the ones who establish links to lenders before they go home shopping, Davis says. “Call at least three lenders to discuss your home-buying plans and determine how much you’re capable of borrowing. Then pick the best of the three and work closely with that lender,” he says. After running a credit check and examining documents that verify your income and assets, your lender should issue a letter indicating you’ve been pre-approved to borrow up to a set amount. Besides helping you with pre-approval, lenders can answer many of your general home-buying questions. “Don’t bother spending time with any lender who is impatient about answering all your questions – no matter how
silly they may seem to you,” Davis says. • Let the government help instruct you on home-buying. Though the Internet is no substitute for face-toface conversations as you REAL ESTATE educate yourself on real estate, Davis says there are several Web sites with Ellen helpful suggestions for Martin homebuyers, including ■■■ that of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (www.hud.gov), which “is packed with tips and state-by-state information on local incentives for first-time buyers.” While you’re on the HUD site, you may also want to scan information on low down payment home loans available through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). “These days FHA loans are looking like an especially good bet for many first-time purchasers. Not only are the down payment requirements low, but the credit standards are slightly looser than for conventional loans,” Davis says. • Plan to spend no more on a home than your comfort level allows. Credit standards are more stringent than they were before the recession began. Consequently, it’s unlikely lenders will allow you to borrow vastly more for a home than your income justifies. “Because the system has more safeguards than before, your odds of making a colossal mistake are lower than they used to be,” says Eric Tyson, a personal finance expert and co-author of “Home Buying for Dummies.” Even so, he cautions first-time buyers to be conservative in setting their own budgetary limits on monthly housing outlays. “It’s still very possible to borrow more than your lifestyle warrants, especially if you plan to travel extensively or wish to have several children. You should also be cautious if you have an elderly parent who relies on you,” Tyson says. • Move promptly into the home-shopping phase. While it’s good for first-time buyers to learn the basics about mortgage finance before they look at property, “time is of the essence if you want to have a shot at finding the right home and still having enough time to close on your transaction before the Dec. 3 deadline,” Tyson says. However, you still won’t want to lock in an ill-conceived purchase simply to get in under the wire on the tax credit program. “It would be unfortunate to rush into buying the wrong house and then need to turn around and sell it soon. That’s because the roundtrip costs of buying and selling a property can easily add up to 15 percent of the value of the place,” he says.
