College officials wary of loan overhaul BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Local college financial aid advisors are skeptical about an attempt to overhaul college aid programs that was passed by Congress last week. The Student Aid and

Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2009 was approved 253171 on Sept. 17. The bill, awaiting a vote from the Senate, would eliminate the Federal Family Education Loan Program, or FFELP, to bolster the Pell Grant program. Rather than FFELP, students would use the William D.

Ford Federal Direct Loan Program, which already is an alternative to FFELP. Under a direct loan program, all funds would be distributed by the U.S. Department of Education rather than private lenders, such as Wachovia or Bank of America, both participants of FFELP.

The bill boasts that eliminating FFELP would save about $40 billion in taxpayer money. “It’s never going to be as cut and dry as the federal government presents it,” said Julie Setzer, director of student financial planning at High Point University. “If it paid off, it may

be worth it. But I’m not sure that those numbers will translate.” Setzer said the bill would eliminate the amount of choices that students have to finance their future. “Because of controversy in the student loan indus-

N.C. 62 study moves well past halfway mark BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ARCHDALE – A study that will guide development along N.C. 62 is about two-thirds completed, according to Jeff Wells, Archdale’s planning and zoning director. The Archdale City Council approved an agreement earlier this year with the N.C. Department of Transportation to commission a study – the N.C. 62 Corridor Access Management Plan – to examine how to take advantage of anticipated development along the N.C. 62 corridor near Interstate 85 and the Interstate 74/U.S. 311 Bypass. “What we are trying to do is ensure the traffic safety and mobility of N.C. 62 is maintained through

He said the last development in that area was two years ago on a four-lot industrial subdivision. Also, there was discussion in 2007 of a Wal-Mart locating on a 150-acre tract on the southeast quadrant of N.C. 62, but company officials withdrew the plan

before the request went to the City Council. “This is the right time to be doing this while there is no development that’s come along out there,” Wells said of the study. “If they came along, it would be tough doing this simultaneously. ... I think it will be very key for economic development. It will help us as a city to be able to have a plan in place, so

Stitching it all together

Choices in lenders

Parachute manufacturer offers sewing classes PINEBLUFF (AP) – Harold and Pat Clark always worked in textiles. But finding that kind of work is no longer easy for the Moore County couple, who are both in their mid-50s. Harold Clark said he’s been laid off three times in 11 months, while his wife has stayed home for about 15 years. Recently, the Clarks took advantage of a rare opportunity. They learned sewing skills from a parachute manufacturer in Pinebluff in hopes of getting jobs with the company, which contracts with the military. For four days, the couple went to the BRS Defense parachute plant in Pinebluff to learn how to sew low-velocity cargo parachutes. “I’m going to put everything I’ve got into this,” Pat Clark said while drawing a mock-up sewing pattern. Neither she nor her husband had ever sewed before. “I’m a believer,” she said. “If other people can learn it, I can learn it, too,” Pat Clark said. The parachute manu-

try, we now have to give our students choices in lenders,” she said. “Under direct lending, there is no lender, only the Department of Education.” Lisa Koretoff, director of financial aid at Guilford Technical Community College, said the bill could eliminate thousands of jobs in the private lending sector that depend upon FFELP. “In the economy we have now, it’s a real shame that we’re killing jobs when we’re on the verge of recovery,” said Koretoff, who is also the president of the North Carolina Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators. Koretoff agreed with Setzer that students deserved more than one lender choice, and her organization has written letters to Congress in support of FFELP. Meanwhile, students also hang in the balance, wondering how the changes would affect them. “I’m OK with the way my loans are handled

In July, it announced plans to hire 80 shift workers. Less than two months later, parent company BRS Aerospace said about 20 or more workers will be needed.

Gary Moore, a spokesman for BRS Aerospace, said 110 to 120 people could be hired. The most needed workers are sewers, who will be trained to use industrial sewing machines to stitch parachute panels together. Cutters,

lifters, inspectors and packers also are in short supply. In all, the contract will bring in more than $6.6 million, Moore said. The Clarks, who attended all four classes, said they plan to put in job applications.

Special vaccine clinic set for Guilford students ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – County health officials will hold two additional immunization clinics in High Point and Greensboro on Tuesday to administer free Tdap vaccines to sixth-graders and other 12-year-olds who need the shot for school. Many of the students may have been sent home Thursday because they had not taken the shot. School district officials reported at the end of last week that out of the district’s 5,547 sixth-grade students, 201 were missing documentation of an upto-date Tdap vaccination. By state law, Thursday was the first day students were required to be excluded from school if a record of the vaccination was not provided. All of the district’s 25 middle schools had less than 30 students each without the vaccination.

TDAP RECORD

Last year: On the first day of suspension last year, 1,150 students still needed the vaccination or needed to provide shot documentation. Information: Parents with questions about the special clinics should contact the Guilford County Department of Public Health at (336) 641-7777. The special clinics will be held 8:30–11:30 a.m. at both health department locations, 1100 E. Wendover Ave., Greensboro, and 501 E. Green Drive, High Point. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and will be seen on a first-come, firstserved basis.

Parents or guardians should bring the child’s shot record and insurance card with them. The Tdap vaccine for tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis was made available by the health department at free community clinics during the summer and at middle school open houses in August. The Tdap vaccine can protect adolescents and adults against three serious diseases caused by bacteria. Tetanus enters the body through cuts, scratches or wounds. Tetanus, which also is known as lockjaw, can lead to “locking” of the jaw to stop swallowing. Tetanus leads to death in up to two cases out of 10. Diphtheria can cause breathing problems, paralysis, heart failure and even death. Whooping cough can lead to pneumonia and hospitalization.

BOTTOM LINE

Once-bustling N.C. airport looks to forge revival WINSTON-SALEM (AP) – It has been nearly 10 years since once-bustling Smith Reynolds Airport had regularly scheduled passenger service, and while there are those who would like to see a return to those days, some officials say it’s not likely. The Winston-Salem Journal reports that Tom McKim, an attorney for R.J. Reynolds who serves as chairman of the five-member airport commission and others familiar with the airport said that there are obstacles to progress at the airport – the chief being that the airport is essentially landlocked, with little room to grow. “It has taken a while for some people to come to terms with the notion that Winston-Salem may never really be an air-carrier airport again,” McKim said. “That would be nice but that is not realistic.”

5 Washington bikini baristas accused of prostitution down while fixing lattes and mochas. During a two-month investigation, detectives also saw the women lick whipped cream off each other and pose naked for pictures at the Grab-n-Go Espresso stand in Everett, about 30 miles north of Seattle. Owner Bill Wheeler told KCPQ-TV employees sign a policy prohibiting the kind of behavior alleged by police. He said anyone caught doing anything

illegal would be fired. The women, ages 18 to 24, were not arrested, said Sgt. Robert Goetz. They were expected to be in Municipal Court in a few weeks to answer misdemeanor charges. Police have received more than 40 complaints in the past year of women exposing themselves at coffee stands. Goetz said the department investigated Grab-n-Go because it had the most complaints.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT US The High Point Enterprise

Troubles have continued for the airport. Last month, the airport lost its director and a subcontractor complained that it hadn’t been paid by the prime contractor. An airline suspended operations on Sept. 17 and its owner was arrested last week and charged with failing to pay health-insurance premiums. In 1963, the Winston-Salem airport had 130,000 takeoffs and landings. But by the time Piedmont merged with USAir in 1989, Smith Reynolds Airport had long been surpassed by Greensboro as the Triad’s destination airport. Passenger boardings at Smith Reynolds dropped from about 33,000 in 1980 to 2,711 in 1984. The number of boardings rebounded somewhat, and the airport served about 8,000 passengers in 1999 before passenger service was stopped in early 2000.

EVERETT, Wash. (AP) – Five Washington state baristas charged customers to touch their breasts and buttocks at an espresso stand where servers wear bikinis to draw business, police said. The five were charged Wednesday with prostitution. Charging money for that kind of touching falls under the city’s definition of prostitution. The Everett Herald reports the women were charging up to $80 to strip

now,” said Dustin Jenkins, a junior at High Point University. “If the government would try to help out in some way or increase the flow of availability, that would sound good to me as well.” Setzer said students who qualify for the Pell Grant would see an increase in funds, but other changes would fall upon administration costs financial aid offices. “Students wouldn’t see a real change in the loan process until they graduated,” she said, noting that each student would have to call the Department of Education with questions about their loan instead of a private lender. “This will be more labor intensive for schools. Some schools may have to hire more staff to handle the changes, but I don’t see as many jobs coming back as would be lost.”

Reform health care to help the uninsured I will have to work full time until age 69 just to have health insurance for my wife, who is four years younger than me. After 42 years with my company, Hanesbrands decided to eliminate my position at age 62. I thought that this was a great gift of early retirement until they decided to no longer subsidize the retiree medical premiums, increasing them from $126/month to $1,000/month, and drastically reducing the benefits. I don’t mind work, I’ve worked for 50 years, but my wife has medical problems that require me to be with her more. It’s hard to give her quality time working 40 hours a week. Also, my three sons were recently all laid off their jobs because of the economy, losing not only their income but also their health insurance. We keep our fingers crossed that they won’t have any serious medical issues. Have you been to the emergency room lately? It is often overflowing. We took my mother-in-law a few weeks ago. It was several hours before she even got a bed, and 12 hours before being discharged. We’re glad that it turned out to not be as bad as we feared. I would like to know how many of the folks that were being treated there had insurance or the ability to pay. This conservative is also a realist, and knows that health care for all is of the utmost importance. DAVID PENKAVA Asheboro

Congress was not forced to approve 19th Amendment I was perplexed by Bill Brewer’s letter (Your View, Sept. 22) asking people to join in his crusade to amend the Constitution even though his letter contained inaccuracies and he doesn’t posses even a remedial understanding of how the U.S. Constitution is amended. First some inaccuracies, Teddy Kennedy is not one of the most liberal members of Congress (I’m assuming I don’t have to say why). It’s not two-thirds of the state legislatures that are needed to pass a constitutional amendment but three-fourths. The Suffrage Act of 1920 never existed. And Congress was not “forced by

Now, his 19th Amendment (commonly known as women’s suffrage) errors: This amendment was not “forced on Congress,” rather it was passed by Congress, the House voted 304-89 on May 21, 1919, the Senate voted 56-25, on June 4, 1919, to send the amendment to the states for ratification. It was ratified on Aug. 18, 1920, by Tennessee (the 36th of 48 total states – see three-fourths!) and it became part of the Constitution. I’m sure Brewer has an awesome encyclopedia, but unfortunately (for him) the most awesome encyclopedia isn’t needed when you can read the Constitution itself. There are four (and only four) ways to amend the Constitution: 1) Proposal by convention of states, ratification by state conventions (never used), 2) Proposal by convention of states, ratification by state legislatures (never used), 3) Passed by Congress, ratification by state conventions (used only once for the 21st amendment which repealed the 18th Amendment (prohibition), 4) Passed by Congress, ratification by state legislatures (used all other times). Brewer clearly aims to follow No. 1 or No. 2, but factually the 19th did not. RON LOREN PITTS High Point

ell, no. Love is hardly the first word that comes to mind when one considers Tom DeLay, the former House majority leader who threatened judges and otherwise trampled the constitutional separation of powers during the Terri Schiavo affair, who once likened the Environmental Protection Agency to the Gestapo, who said in the wake of the Columbine massacre that guns have “little or nothing” to do with juvenile violence, who fought to make this country a fundamentalist Christian theocracy, and who left Congress in 2006 under scandal clouds and criminal indictment. And indeed, very little love is evident in the comments that have attended DeLay’s stint as a contestant on the new season of “Dancing With the Stars,” the ABC television competition that pairs professional hoofers with “stars” (that term being very loosely interpreted) who strut, shake and shimmy their way through various feats of Terpsichore.

not available. But you know what? I can’t hate on the guy. I’d love to, but I can’t. In the first place, DeLay’s debut performance last week – he danced to the old frat party standard, “Wild Thing” – was alarmingly un-terrible. If, that is, you discount the unfortunate moment where the camera zeroed in as he gave his backside a rather emphatic wiggle. The sight of Tom DeLay shaking his booty was profoundly disturbing on so many levels that I momentarily considered taking an ice cream scoop to my eyeballs. But other than that, he was stunningly not-awful. The other reason I can’t pile up on DeLay is that it would be the height of hypocrisy.

Philippine storm leaves 80 dead

PARIS – Three French soldiers were killed Sunday in a violent storm in northeastern Afghanistan, while another was killed when an armored vehicle fell into a ravine, French officials said. In the storm deaths, one soldier was struck by lightning, while two others were swept away in a flooding river, French military spokesman Christophe Prazuck said.

Clinton: Hard for Iran to make peace claim WASHINGTON (AP) – Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says she doesn’t believe Iran can convince the U.S. and other world powers that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, putting Tehran on course for tougher economic penalties beyond the current “leaky sanctions.” Defense Secretary Robert Gates played down the effectiveness of mili-

tary strikes against Iran’s newly disclosed secret uranium-enriching facility. Gates and Clinton said economic and diplomatic pressure would have a better chance of changing Iranian policies. “The reality is, there is no military option that does anything more than buy time,” he told CNN’s “State of the Union” in an interview broadcast Sunday. The nuclear program,

which Iran claims is designed to generate electricity, is at the top of the agenda at a meeting Thursday in Geneva.

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah (AP) – In letters written to her mother, the woman charged in the 2002 kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart has sought forgiveness for any pain she has caused and says she expects to spend the rest of her life in prison. Wanda Eileen Barzee, 63, however, makes just one reference to Smart

in the 12 letters obtained by The Associated Press. And she doesn’t provide details about the nine months the girl allegedly spent with her and her now-estranged husband Brian David Mitchell. The couple is charged with multiple felonies in state court and last year was indicted by a federal grand jury.

Afghan official may quit after attack KABUL (AP) – A powerful member of President Hamid Karzai’s Cabinet threatened to quit after a suicide car bomb attack targeted him Sunday, killing five people, in the latest Taliban attempt to destabi-

MANILA, Philippines – Many Filipino villagers managed to save only the clothes on their backs but began to rebuild Sunday as the flood waters receded from a tropical storm that set off the worst flooding in the Philippine capital in 42 years and left about 80 dead. Army troops, police and volunteers plucked dead bodies from muddy flood waters and rescued drenched survivors from rooftops after Tropical Storm Ketsana came through.

Meet Leo, a retired truck driver who has lived in High Point for over 40 years. At one point, Leo found himself living in a rooming house, where he was only able to afford to eat one meal a day. He eventually began receiving food stamps, but only enough to feed himself for 2 – 3 weeks. Finally, he was referred to the High Point Housing Authority and Senior Resources of Guilford, who worked together to get him into Elm Towers, where he lived for 2 years. Thanks in part to the lunch program provided at Elm Towers by Senior Resources, Leo was able to live --- and eat --- normally. Today Leo is married and lives with his wife in a home of their own. But he hasn’t forgotten what hunger felt like. Leo now volunteers for Senior Resources for several hours each week at Elm Towers. “I am grateful for all they did for me,” he says, “and I always try to give something back.” No one in our community should have to experience true hunger --- and especially not our most vulnerable citizens like children and senior citizens. Thanks to your support, older adults like Leo can find the help they need to meet their basic needs. When we reach out a hand to one, we can influence the condition of all. That’s what it means to LIVE UNITED.

Job losses hurt Social Security WASHINGTON (AP) – Big job losses and a spike in early retirement claims from laid-off seniors will force Social Security to pay out more in benefits than it collects in taxes the next two years, the first time that’s happened since the 1980s. The deficits – $10 billion in 2010 and $9 billion in 2011 – won’t affect payments to retirees because Social Security has accumulated surpluses from previous years totaling $2.5 trillion. But

they will add to the overall federal deficit. Applications for retirement benefits are 23 percent higher than last year, while disability claims have risen by about 20 percent. Social Security officials had expected applications to increase from the growing number of baby boomers reaching retirement, but they didn’t expect the increase to be so large. What happened? The recession hit and many older workers suddenly

found themselves laid off with no place to turn but Social Security. “A lot of people who in better times would have continued working are opting to retire,� said Alan J. Auerbach, an economics and law professor at the University of California, Berkeley.

Racing film debuts in front of packed house BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Bill Blair’s father, a racing legend and early star of the sport in the 1940s, lived to see stock car racing become a national sensation. But his son said that the elder Bill Blair, who died 14 years ago, never could have envisioned his life would become a subject for the silver screen. “He never imagined any of this would happen,” Blair said Sunday afternoon as he greeted friends and well-wishers outside T. Austin Finch Auditorium before the public screening debut of “Red Dirt Rising.”

AT A GLANCE

“Red Dirt Rising,” which debuted Sunday afternoon in a screening at T. Austin Finch Auditorium in Thomasville, is based on the book published earlier this decade by local author Gail Cauble Gurley. She co-wrote the screenplay with J. Amanda Davidson. The movie chronicles the lives of the early race car drivers in the Piedmont in the 1940s, who were the pioneers of the sport that has evolved into NASCAR. For more information, check the Web site www.reddirtrising.com.

The film, based on a book written by local author Gail Cauble Gurley, chronicles characters based on the lives of early race car drivers in the Piedmont. Blair said that his father, who continued to farm

on High Point area land much of his life while racing, cherished the thrill of high speeds and the camaraderie among his fellow drivers and fans. “It was romantic – like the American West era

of racing,” Blair said. More than 1,100 fans packed the auditorium for the film’s screening, with some moviegoers arriving more than an hour before the early afternoon event. Replicas of early stock cars were parked along Unity Street in front of the auditorium for fans to see upclose. Gurley said that she was thrilled years ago just to achieve the publication of her book, “Red Dirt Tracks: The Forgotten Heroes of Early Stockcar Racing.” “This is unbelievable,” she said as the moviegoers line up around the auditorium waiting to take their seats.

Gurley, who co-wrote the screenplay for “Red Dirt Rising,” said the movie will be distributed to film festivals to see if a studio will pick it up for general distribution to theaters or release it to a DVD format for sale in stores and through the Internet. Retired Archdale Police Chief Gary Lewallen, whose father Jimmie is one of the early racers depicted in the film, credits fans of racing in the region for helping come up with the funding and other support for the movie. Lewallen and Gurley are executive producers of “Red Dirt Racing.” pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

DENTON – For Debra Swaim, branch mananger of Denton Public Library, the days of worrying about the lack of space for library workers and patrons are now over. According to Swaim, construction crews should be finished with a 7,016square-foot addition to the library by the end of this week. Crews have been working on the new addition since February. While the new addition is not currently ready for the public, Bar Construction allowed library workers to start moving books and shelves into it Monday. The library has been closed this week, so library workers can make the transition to the new addition. As part of the third and final phase, the old part of the library will be renovated when the new addition opens for the public in the near future. The renovation should be completed by December, Swaim said. The Denton Public Library needs more space because workers have

Debra Swaim, branch manager for Denton Public Library, sorts books. Swaim says construction should be completed on the addition by the end of the week. to shelve books behind books at the existing 4,476square-foot building. “For the first time, people will be able to see what our collection actually is,” Swaim said. “We have been crowded so long. They haven’t even seen the books that have been behind the books.”

In 1992, the library moved from the former City Hall building to its current location, which formerly served as the home to agricultural and home economics programs for the former Denton High School. The facility is the fifth location in the library’s history.

Bar Construction, one of 37 bidders for the expansion and renovation project, placed a bid that was well below what the county had projected.. The county expected the project to cost $1.7 million. Commissioners agreed to fund $1.1 million of the

project, but asked the Denton community to raise $600,000. The community’s contribution was decreased to $300,000 when the bid came in lower. Swaim said the library raised $250,000 through the community and grants.

Walkers show support for victims of violence ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – Last year, 83 domestic violence murders occurred in North Carolina and three victims were Guilford County residents. The High Point Task Force of the Guilford County Coalition on Infant Mortality will hold a “Walking Out on Domestic Violence” event Oct. 7 to bring attention to the problem and ways for victims to find help. The walk will be followed by a luncheon and program with speakers and displays of local service providers. Walkers should meet at 11 a.m.

Trial of 911 operator accused of murder delayed MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

DURHAM – The trial for the woman accused in the 2007 killing of an N.C. Central University graduate student has been postponed, Assistant District Attorney David Saacks said. The trial was supposed to get under way this week, but two of the state’s witnesses will be out of the county for the next two weeks, Saacks said. The trial may begin in November, but that’s not certain, he said. Shannon Elizabeth Crawley is charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Denita Monique Smith. Crawley was a 911 worker in Guilford County. Smith, 25, was a popular NCCU student who wrote for the Campus Echo, the school’s newspaper.

NEW YORK (AP) – William Safire, the conservative columnist and word warrior who feared no politician or corner of the English language, died Sunday at age 79.

Safire spent more than 30 years writing on the Op-Ed page of The New York Times. In his “On Language” column in The New York Times Magazine and more than a

Gap Inc. co-founder succumbs to illness PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Donald G. Fisher, who co-founded apparel giant Gap Inc., has died at age 81 after a long battle with cancer. The company said Fisher died at his home in San Francisco on Sunday morning surrounded by his family. Those who knew him said he was a great entrepreneur and philanthropist who helped shape the retail world and his local community. Fisher and his wife Doris opened the first Gap in 1969 in San Francisco, after running into difficulties finding jeans that fit. They named the store after the idea of “The Generation Gap” and sold jeans and music, to appeal to a younger crowd. The simple, affordable style that became the namesake brand’s trademark resonated with shoppers and took off quickly. A former real estate developer with no previous retailing experience, Fisher initially anticipated maybe “as many as 10” stores. But Gap grew to be one of the nation’s largest specialty retailers with

guage. Bill will be greatly missed.” Michael Oreskes, senior managing editor of The Associated Press, who served as a correspondent and Washington bureau chief of the Times during Safire’s years as a columnist, said the conservative writer was a mentor and friend to a generation of Washington journalists of all political persuasions. “He believed in the values of journalism – of ferreting out the truth and holding leaders to account, Republicans and Democrats,” Oreskes said.

EDC office to move Oct. 1 ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

RANDOLPH COUNTY – The office of the Randolph County Economic Development Corp. will relocate to the Randolph County Historical Courthouse in Asheboro next month. The EDC said Thursday it will move to the courthouse, 145 Worth St., effective Oct. 1. The EDC office will be closed on Sept. 30 for the move. The renovated 1909 Randolph County Historical Courthouse is located in downtown Asheboro. Randolph County workers have spent the last two years renovating the building for new users. The building, empty since 2002, has received a complete renovation while keeping most of the original architectural features. “Randolph County has done a magnificent job of renovating the historical landmark, and we are very proud to be its first new occupant”, said EDC President Bonnie Renfro. The EDC will operate in first-floor offices that originally were home to the clerk of Superior Court, solicitor, grand jury and sheriff’s offices in 1909. The courthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and received the county’s first Local Historic Landmark designation. Built at an original cost of $34,000, the building also will house the Randolph County Tourism Development Authority at a future date. The EDC mailing address is P.O. Box 2001, Asheboro, NC 27204. The office can be contacted at 626-2233.

Dear Abby: I am 20 years old and during this past year I have been exposed to more drugs than I ever thought possible. I have tried many of them – from prescription drugs, marijuana and cocaine to ecstasy. I know my decisions were reckless. Abby, I’m writing this in the hope of reaching out to anyone who will listen. I was blessed that I didn’t become addicted, and even luckier that I’m still alive. There are those who are not as fortunate as I am. I have heard more stories about drug abuse, overdoses and drug-related deaths in my town than I can handle. I want to change this. I want to make a difference. But I need help. How can I get involved and make people in my community more aware that our town has a problem? – Reaching Out in Lake Havasu City, Ariz. Dear Reaching Out:

By writing this letter, you have already taken the first step in raising awareness. Now it’s up to your local police and your board of education to take some action. Everyone knows that passing laws is not enough unless they are enforced. And one of the most effective weapons in eliminating drug abuse is education. Dear Abby: Can you please tell me where is the proper placement of a name tag? I own a small business and attend many networking events. Some people have told me the tag should be worn on the right side so you can see it when you shake hands. Others say it should be on the left, because people read from left to right. What is the proper etiquette? – Jeff in Stuart, Fla. Dear Jeff: According to Emily Post, the tags are usually worn on the right side because that’s where most people look when they first greet each other with a handshake. (Using this logic, some women should paste the tag just above the middle of their chests.)

Legislators decided this summer to stop requiring a passing grade on the computer competency test because of budget cuts. Students have been

tested on computer literacy in the eighth grade since 1996. The reading and math tests were used since the 1980s. The state also eliminated the third-grade reading and math competency pre-tests and the end-of-course tests for physics and chemistry. But none of those exams was required for graduation.

he Imperial Foods chicken processing plant in Hamlet was the location of the deadliest industrial fire in our state’s history. This avoidable tragedy occurred Sept. 3, 1991, resulted in 25 deaths, as well as 54 injuries, and led to a federal investigation. Ninety employees were on duty when a hydraulic line powering a conveyor belt supplying the cooker failed, igniting the fire. The building dated back to the early 1900s, so the fire spread rapidly. Unbelievably, emergency response was delayed because telephones inside the plant could not be used, so the owner’s son drove to the fire station to report the fire. He did not inform firefighters that people were still inside the plant. The fast-moving fire caused the workers to panic, resulting in many of them suffering injuries while trying to escape. Most of those that escaped unharmed were workers located in the front of the building who were able to use the main entrance. Unfortunately, many of the workers were trapped in the back of the building by a curtain of thick black smoke. The terrible tragedy of this fire is that those trapped in the back could not escape because exit doors had been locked from the outside by management to prevent theft and vandalism. A few workers were able to escape by kicking down locked doors, and many left indentations in the doors that

were found later by investigators. Most of those in the rear FIREHOUSE that were lucky CHAT enough to escape Lee found Knight their â– â– â– way out through a loading bay door. The opening was blocked by a tractor-trailer, but rescuers moved the truck when they heard workers pounding on the inside of the trailer. In the aftermath it was discovered that the plant had not received a state inspection in the 11 years it had been open because of a lack of inspectors. The owner, Emmett J. Roe, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to almost 20 years but served less than four. Imperial Foods was fined $808,150, the most in North Carolina history. The factory never reopened, causing the loss of 215 jobs. 24/7/365: You call; we respond. KENNETH LEE KNIGHT is a battalion chief in the High Point Fire Department.

ear Dr. Donohue: I am a 78-year-old, semiretired man. I am very active and look a lot younger. I work part-time as a truck driver delivering auto parts to garages. Now I am out of work because of pain in my lower back. The pain runs down to my foot. I have been diagnosed with sciatica. My doctor sent me for an MRI, and it showed a bulging disk. What is the best remedy? I use ice packs, heating packs and hot packs. I am on crutches to take pressure off my leg. Would surgery help? – J.S.

BLONDIE

Back pain is one of the leading problems that send people to doctors. Most cases of back pain go away on their own, even if they’re due to things like a bulging (also called herniated or ruptured) disk. Even though your back hurts, you can be as active as your pain allows. Don’t sit for prolonged periods; sitting puts more pressure on your back than does standing or walking. Sleep on your side with a pillow between your knees. Continue with heat, cold or alternating heat and cold, whichever gives you the most pain relief. Tylenol or a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory medicine (Aleve, Advil, Motrin, etc.) can make you more comfortable. If the pain doesn’t let up in six weeks, you have chronic back pain. Sciatica is pain that travels from the back down the leg to the foot. It

comes from pressure on the sciatic nerve. In your case, the pressure most likely HEALTH comes from your bulgDr. Paul ing back Donohue disk. Back ■■■ disks are cartilage pads placed between adjacent backbones to absorb the shock those bones take from our walking, bending and pushing. The disk has a tough outer ring. Gelatinous material makes up the inner core. If there’s a break in the outer ring, the inner core pushes through – a bulging, herniated or ruptured disk, whichever term you want to use. If sciatica doesn’t resolve on its own, a doctor can inject the back with cortisone to reduce inflammation. That can relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. The procedure is called an epidural. Surgeons, aided by a microscope, can remove the bulge through small incisions, about an inch long. This technique is called a microdiskectomy and usually is quite successful. Dear Dr. Donohue: My 18-year-old AfricanAmerican grandson has had a consistently low white blood cell count (from 3,100 to 4,100). He is monitored by a hematologist on a regular basis. He has no symptoms. What is the significance

of his low count? – J.F. White blood cells are the body’s warriors against infection. One type battles invaders in hand-to-hand combat. Another kind makes antibodies, ammunition against germs. The other three kinds of white blood cells are support troops with less direct influence on the body’s defenses. The normal white blood cell count is 4,300 to 10,800. While your grandson’s count is lower than normal, it isn’t dangerously low. Proof of that is the fact that he hasn’t had repeated or serious infections. His hematologist has looked for the various causes of a depressed count – autoimmune illnesses, bone marrow failure, an overactive spleen and vitamin deficiencies – and found none. A significant number of people carry a lower count and never suffer a single symptom from it. Some AfricanAmericans have a count that’s lower than normal, and that seems to be nothing more than an ethnic trait. For the present, nothing needs to be done. Your grandson is healthy in spite of his reduced white blood cell numbers.

DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

Jennifer Wright’s own struggle inspires her to help others BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – Jennifer Wright had never even heard of Hodgkin’s lymphoma until about 41⁄2 years ago, when a doctor told her she had the disease. “At first, I thought maybe it was a little virus or something,” the 24-year-old High Point woman recalls. “I didn’t understand that it was cancer.” An oncologist set her straight, though, with these ominous words: “If we don’t start treating you by tomorrow, you’re going to die.” Sure enough, Wright began chemotherapy the next day – a regimen that lasted several months – then followed that with a regimen of radiation. Tests confirmed the cancer was gone, but the lymphoma returned twice. The first time, doctors treated it with another intense regimen of chemotherapy; the second time, Wright underwent a successful stem cell transplant at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. Today, Wright is in remission – and she’s back at Winston-Salem State University, finishing the education that was so rudely interrupted by lymphoma 41⁄2 years ago – but she hasn’t forgotten the pain and the fear of her ordeal. That’s why she established the Jennifer Wright Cancer Foundation, a nonprofit foundation whose primary mission is to provide funding for research and development of treatments for Hodgkin’s lymphoma and other related cancers. A fundraiser for the foundation, a benefit gospel concert, will be held Saturday afternoon at Wright’s church, Calvary Cov-

The event will feature a singing group from the church, the CCF Voices, as well as three mime/dance groups – The Carmichael Sisters, Judah Dance Academy and Radical For Christ. Several other groups have also been invited to perform at the event. This marks Wright’s third benefit, and it’s the second time she has partnered with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn. “I used to love to watch the shows about St. Jude on TV,” she explains, “and just seeing those babies and what they were going through, it made me realize they needed funds to support them. That’s why I had this desire and passion to partner with them.” Last year’s benefit raised approximately $1,200 for St. Jude, according to Wright. Now a junior at Winston-Salem State, Wright believes her fight against cancer has given her a sense of purpose. “To me, I feel like it brought purpose to my life,” she says. “I had to go through cancer at an early age – I was diagnosed at

Choices help determine our health G

ood news. We’re living longer, and the way we think about aging and live our lives is changing. But getting older doesn’t automatically mean physical decline and illness. In fact, the rate of disability among older people has decreased significantly in the last 20 years. But don’t lean back in your easy chair, flip on the television and celebrate with a big piece of cake. The risk of disease and disability does increase with age. However, there is a great deal of research being done on diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis and other infirmities that affect many of us as we age. Much of the disability and death associated with chronic disease can be prevented by our lifestyle choices. What you do now, regardless of your current age, will have an influence on your health in the years to come. The following are some considerations for healthy aging: Food is important. Eating a balanced mix of foods, including whole grains, fruits and vegetables, every day has many health benefits. Healthy eating may help you manage a chronic disease, reduce high blood pressure, lower high cholesterol and manage diabetes. Consuming the right num-

ber of calories for your level of physical activity is also important. If you don’t eat enough, you may lose weight, lack energy and miss FOR THE out on important nutrients. HowevHEALTH er, as we all know, OF IT too much food can cause you to gain Felicia weight, which is Reid not good for our ■■■ bodies. Keep moving. Staying physically active can help you maintain and improve your strength and flexibility. Physical activity gives you more energy and can help prevent or delay illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer. It can also improve your outlook on life and reduce mild depression. It doesn’t have to be anything difficult or expensive. Brisk walking, riding a bike, swimming, weightlifting and gardening are safe, especially if you build up slowly. Check with your healthcare provider if you are over 50 and you aren’t used to energetic activity. Try different kinds of activities that keep you moving. Physical activity can also help improve your balance and prevent falls, an issue many

seniors face. Having good balance helps you keep up with your daily activities and remain independent. Sometimes inner ear problems or medications cause balance challenges. Also, circulation problems and blood pressure (high or low) may cause dizziness that leads to a fall. Preventing falls is important, because this is the leading cause of unintentional injury and injury deaths for older people. We can’t skip medical care. One of the most important keys to good health care is how well you and your health-care provider talk to each other. This isn’t always easy, especially if you are not used to asking questions and talking about your health. Consider your health as a team effort with your provider. Before you go, write a list of questions and any symptoms you might be having. This helps you remember everything you want to discuss. Be specific. Include what the symptom is, when it started, what time of day it happens and how long it lasts, how often it happens, anything that makes it worse or better and anything it prevents you from doing. Being honest about what is bothering you does not mean you are complaining. Your health-care provider needs to know how you feel in order to figure out what

problem you may have. Finally, make some plans – plans to have fun as well as plans for your care toward the end of your life. Who, where, when and how are questions you should ask and answer. Working through these questions now and putting your wishes and plans on paper can give you peace of mind. And peace of mind is an important part of your overall health. The Department of Public Health has several programs for seniors to help access services, including some in-home services. Our Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults and Elderly, Care Management Program and Community Health Response Program may be of interest to you or a family member.

“My wife Mary and I played in a team event recently,” Richard Oshlag of Memphis writes, “and we met a perfect ’column’ deal. “When South opened one diamond, Mary came in with a ’Michaels’ cue bid of two diamonds, showing length in both majors. As East I jumped to four hearts as a preempt, but South had 01-6-6 distribution and wouldn’t be shut out. “At five diamonds, South ruffed the second heart, led a trump to dummy, let the queen of clubs ride and led a club to his jack. Mary ruffed and led her last trump, and South lost a club. All your readers would make the contract.”

TRUMP LOSER If trumps break 4-1 (possible on the bidding), South has a trump loser and must pick up the clubs. If trumps break 3-2, South can afford a club loser. After South ruffs the second heart, he should take the A-Q of trumps. If West discarded, South would finesse hopefully in clubs. When both defenders follow to two trumps, declarer ruffs a spade, draws the last trump and leads a low club.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K 8 H Q 10 7 5 3 D 10 3 C K 8 7 3. Your partner opens one spade, you respond 1NT and he bids two hearts. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: Partner’s second bid has improved your hand: Your fifth heart will be a winner. Bid four hearts. Partner might pass a timid raise to three hearts with a minimum hand such as A Q 7 6 5, K J 9 6, 7 6, A 2. But if your king of clubs were the queen, a raise to three hearts would be enough. South dealer Neither side vulnerable

‘Meatballs’ sticks to movie menu top with $24.6M LOS ANGELES (AP) – Movie fans lined up for a second helping of “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs,” which took in $24.6 million to remain No. 1 at the box office for a second straight weekend. The Sony animated tale raised its domestic haul to $60 million after 10 days in theaters, according to

HOROSCOPE

CROSSWORD

Monday, Sept. 28, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Skye Bartusiak, 17; Hilary Duff, 22; Mira Sorvino, 42; Moon Unit Zappa, 42 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You’ll be forced to make some difficult decisions. Your ideas are good and the dreams you have put on the back burner must be brought back to life. Times are changing and the sooner you start down that path, the better things will get. Your stress level will go down and your optimism will go up. Your numbers are 5, 9, 12, 20, 27, 39, 44 ARIES (March 21-April 19): The help you offer others will be repaid in a very special and unexpected way. You will have some great ideas but you may have to hone them to fit your budget. Ask approval before you make your final decision. Maintain your integrity. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t trust anyone with information that might affect your career or professional or financial goals. You have to be on your toes to outsmart and outmaneuver. Your intentions regarding someone you think is special should be revealed. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You will learn something very valuable if you listen to the voice of reason and experience. Perhaps taking baby steps will be more advantageous. Don’t count on getting any help from your friends or lover this time. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your main concern has to be your status at home and in the workforce. A necessary change may make you nervous but, in the end, you will prosper. Be the silent observer and the thoughtful contributor. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t let what others do or say affect your productivity. Concentrate on moving things along using interesting suggestions and a mellow persona. Don’t trust hearsay or promises that sound too good to be true. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Give your all to the cause, project or person you are trying to move along. You can form an alliance with someone who will add to your skills and ideas. A change in the way you think will surprise some but not those who are already on the same page. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Nurture and pay extra attention to the things you do and the people you love. Make changes at home to accommodate everyone and you can reach your highest potential. Sharing what you have will open up opportunities you didn’t know were available. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You won’t be seeing things too clearly. Your intuition is off target and will cause you to make an error that could affect you or your home life negatively. Look for advice from an outsider who can view your situation objectively. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Uncertainty at home and within personal relationships will take you by surprise and must be handled with diplomacy if you don’t want to suffer setbacks. You may want to divvy up what you share with someone before things get messy. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Get involved in a new interest. Expand your awareness, philosophy or knowledge. Making personal changes to your home or workspace will enable you to be more productive. Invest in your future. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll have trouble keeping things to yourself as well as within your limits. You will be prone to exaggeration, overindulgence and unrealistic expectations. Before you spend, rethink your strategy and plan something that is within your budget. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have too much to risk by sharing time-sensitive information. You can change your mind or redirect your efforts but don’t lose sight of what everyone around you is doing. A problem with poor information or someone reneging is likely to set you back. ★★★

studio estimates Sunday. “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” fended off Bruce Willis’ action thriller “Surrogates,” a Disney release that debuted at No. 2 with $15 million. Opening in third place with $10 million was MGM’s “Fame,” a new take on the 1980s music and dance hit about students at a school for performing arts.

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

AT THE BOX OFFICE

1. “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs,” $24.6 million. 2. “Surrogates,” $15 million. 3. “Fame,” $10 million. 4. “The Informant!”, $6.9 million. 5. “Tyler Perry’s I Can Do Bad All By Myself,” $4.8 million. 6. “Pandorum,” $4.4 million.

HPU baseball builds dream D

reams do come true at places other than Walt Disney World, especially if a fairy god-person comes along willing to make a donation. Just ask High Point University baseball coach Craig Cozart. After going 21-32 in their first season trying to revive a program that last had a winning season in 1990, Cozart and his coaches believed that the school needed an upgrade in facilities to help attract additional talent needed to vie with the Coastal Carolinas and Winthrops for Big South championships and also compete in the NCAA playoffs. Originally, they thought about coming up with the money for a shelter to cover the batting cages. After extended discussions with a potential donor, Cozart and his coaches shot for the moon. They decided what they really needed was a building with lounges and locker room and indoor batting cages and pitchers mounds where videos can be made of players practicing and instantly played back so coaches can give instruction. They tried to put in the best parts of indoor practice facilities where they had coached previously and eliminated what they didn’t like. They had blueprints drawn and an artist rendering done and made their proposal to the potential benefactor. The out-of-state donor, who remains anonymous, said yes to the wish list to the tune of $2 million, Cozart described the donor as someone who likes baseball and wanted to help in the development of young athletes. Cozart said the deal took eight months to come to fruition. “When the donor toured our facilities and toured our campus, we told him what needed to be done as far as the cages were concerned and he was receptive,” Cozart said. “Instead of asking for the minimum, we asked for the maximum.” He gave much of the credit to assistant coach Bryan Peters for developing a rapport with the donor that made it possible for Cozart and HPU to ask for the money to build a first-class facility, similar to the one built at Central Florida while Cozart was an assistant there earlier this decade. If ground breaking occurs next month as is projected, the structure’s exterior and the practice area will be completed about the time the Panthers begin spring practice in February, about three weeks before the start of the season. “There was no thought of this building when we took the job,” Cozart said. “But, we recognized if we’re going

to achieve our goals of where we want to be nationally as a program, we have to have better facilities to develop talent.” SPORTS The building will run paralGreer lel to the leftSmith field line from ■■■ just beyond the dugout down toward the outfield fence at Erath Field. Cozart said the side of the building closest to the field will be about 20 feet into foul territory. In some places, no fencing will divide the building from the bringing up the possibility that a wild throw to third or a foul ball could ricochet off the structure. “Since there will be no fence, it will serve as the barrier in that area of the field,” Cozart said. “That’s something that we wanted to do to give our field a different feel.” The main entrance of the 11,000-square-foot structure will face the dugout and will lead to lounge and conference area that will include big screen television and video game systems and a trophy case; and will serve as a media room when HPU hosts the conference tournament in 2012. In the middle section of the building will be a locker room and shower area. The locker room is big enough to contain a locker for each player, eliminating the current sharing among four of the 35 players, plus a shower for the coaches, who now share showers with the rest of the school’s male coaching staff. Cozart said the Panthers will now have their uniforms laid out before every game just like in a Major League clubhouse. The batting cages and pitching mounds will be in the rear half, with cameras positioned to video players from various angles. Currently, student assistants take videos of players with hand-held cameras. Cozart said use of the state-of-the-art video system will enable coaches to help a player work through a problem in a matter of days instead of weeks. That’s in addition to keeping the Panthers from the mercy of the elements. Cozart estimated that he lost about a week of practice time to the weather last season. And that doesn’t count working out with snow covering parts of the field. Cozart believes as a dedicated baseball practice facility, HPU’s will be the class of the league when finished. “When you expect your players to perform at the highest level, you’ve got to give them the best resources. It’s all part of the deal.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Jimmie Johnson (lower left) celebrates in victory lane with his wife Chandra and his crew after he won the AAA 400 Sprint Cup race on Sunday at Dover International Speedway.

Johnson caps Dover sweep DOVER, Del. (AP) – Jimmie Johnson dominated again in a Chase race, sweeping the season races at Dover International Speedway to accelerate his bid for an unprecedented fourth straight Sprint Cup title. Johnson cut Hendrick Motorsports teammate Mark Martin’s points lead Sunday with the victory – his fourth of the year and 44th overall – in the second of 10 races in the Chase for the championship. No winner of the second Dover race has ever gone on to win the Cup championship. If any driver can reverse that trend, it’s Johnson. Much as he did in May, Johnson’s No. 48 Chevrolet was out in front for the

majority of the 400-mile race. “I certainly hope that our performance today scares some people and affects them in a way that benefits us,” Johnson said. Chase drivers took nine of the first 11 spots. Martin followed last week’s win at New Hampshire with a second-place finish. Juan Pablo Montoya was fourth and Kurt Busch fifth. Matt Kenseth was the highest non-Chase driver at third. Martin holds a 10-point lead over Johnson heading into next week at Kansas Speedway. Other Chase driver results saw Jeff Gordon finish sixth, Kasey Kahne was eighth, Tony Stewart ninth and Ryan Newman 10th.

Ragsdale stays unanimous No. 1 in High Five poll BY MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

HIGH POINT – Ragsdale kept its hammerlock atop The High Point Enterprise High Five prep football poll after Friday’s action. Four of the five ranked teams remained the same as the survey featured little change. The Tigers, who improved to 6-0 overall and 1-0 in the Piedmont Triad 4A Conference with a 42-0 romp past Parkland, collected all five firstplace votes and 15 points. High Point Central stayed second in the rankings after a hard-fought 20-14 victory at East Forsyth. The Bison (5-1, 1-0 PTC 4A) earned 12 points. Glenn moved from a tie for fourth to third with eight points after Friday’s 21-20 win over Northwest Guilford. The Bobcats stand 5-1 overall and 1-0 in PTC 4A play. Bishop McGuinnes held fourth in the survey with seven points. The Villains, tied for fourth a week ago, improved to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in Northwest Conference action with a 55-21 rout of North Surry. T.W. Andrews rejoined the poll after a brief absence. The Red Raiders (2-3), idle on Friday night, collected two poll points.

HIT AND RUN arolina Panthers linebacker Jon Beason showed a keen understanding of NFL history when he discussed tonight’s game at Dallas. “I mean, 0-3 is just not a possibility,” Beason said as he considered the 0-2 Panthers’ game against the Cowboys. “This is a mustwin.” History shows Beason’s assessment is dead on target. Consider these stark numbers: Since 1990, only three teams started 0-3 and

NFL DETROIT WASHINGTON

made the playoffs. Only one of those teams – the 1992 San Diego Chargers – managed to win a postseason game. In the past 15 seasons, 78 teams started 0-3. Sixty-eight of those teams posted losing records and only two advanced to the playoffs. And here’s the clincher. No team in NFL history has started 0-3 and made it to the Super Bowl. By contrast, 15 percent of the teams to start 0-2 since 1990 qualified for the playoffs.

Three teams that began 0-2 – Dallas in 1993, New England in 2001 and the Giants in 2007 – turned things around and captured the Super Bowl. There is a tremendous historical difference between 0-2 and 0-3. Beason and his teammates know what’s at stake. We’ll see how they respond.

WHO’S NEWS

Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is back home after spending the night in the hospital with a concussion. How long before he plays again is now the big question facing the Gators. Tebow was released from a Lexington, Ky., hospital Sunday morning, about 12 hours after sustaining a concussion in the Gators’ 41-7 victory at Kentucky. He was held for precautionary reasons and test. “Tim is doing fine this morning,” said coach Urban Meyer, who stayed behind with Tebow. “His CT scans came back and indicated that Tim suffered a concussion.” Tebow flew back to Gainesville with Meyer and his family Sunday afternoon. The topranked Gators (4-0) are off next week, then play at LSU on Oct. 10. It might be several days, maybe longer, before Tebow’s status becomes clearer for that game.His return home was welcome news for Florida players, coaches and fans.

Upsets shake up AP Top 25 football poll NEW YORK (AP) – After a weekend in which four top-10 teams lost, The Associated Press college football poll received a major makeover. No. 1 Florida, No. 2 Texas and No. 3 Alabama held their places in the media poll released Sunday, but 15 teams moved up or down at least three spots. The results have left the 60 sports writers and sportscasters on the AP panel struggling to fill out their ballots. LSU is up to No. 4 after barely avoiding an upset at Mississippi State on Saturday. No. 5 Boise State is in the top five for the first time in the regular season. No. 6 Virginia Tech, No. 7 Southern California and No. 9 Ohio State are back in the top 10. Cincinnati moved up four spots to No. 10, the best ranking in school history. No. 13 Iowa and No. 16 Oregon both jumped back into the rankings after beating top-10 teams. Georgia Tech also moved back into the rankings. Falling out were Florida State, North Carolina and Washington, which followed its upset of USC with a 34-14 loss at Stanford on Saturday. Florida (4-0) received 55 first-place votes. Texas received one first-place vote and 1,420 points. Alabama had four first-place votes, one more than last week, and 1,400 points. Ole Miss lost to S.C. and fell 17 spots to No. 21.

Duke drops NCCU in historic clash BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

DURHAM – All of Durham – Duke and N.C. Central fans alike – had reasons to celebrate leading up to Saturday night’s historic first football meeting between the neighbors. All of the city found reasons to cheer during the contest. Duke fans, however, were the ones with cause for celebration after the game. The Blue Devils ripped off three touchdowns in less than a quarter before NCCU enjoyed a couple of moments in the sun on a rainy night at Wallace Wade Stadium. Duke bounced back quickly and decisively, putting away the Eagles 49-14 before 26,390 soaked but spirited fans. “I thought it was a good thing for Durham; I just hate the weather wasn’t any better than it was,” Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. “It turned out as good as it was supposed to turn out, with all the kids enjoying playing and playing hard.” Duke quarterback Thad Lewis looked more like his old self after a shaky start to the season, hitting on 17 of 25 passes for 189 yards with two touchdown passes and a touchdown run. Lewis got plenty of help from the running game. Former Durham Hillside running back Desmond Scott rushed for 100 yards on 16 carries in his college debut. Scott and Patrick Kurunwune (93 yards) got nearly all the playing

time in the backfield with starter Re’quan Boyette out and second-stringer Jay Hollingsworth rarely used, and both wasted little time setting the tone. They helped Duke (22), which had totaled 183 yards on the ground through three games, rush for 233 yards on Saturday. Kurunwune and Scott scored on nifty runs on Duke’s first two possessions, then Lewis hooked up with Donovan Varner for an 18-yard score on Duke’s next drive – the first of two TD catches for Varner – for a 21-0 lead. The Eagles (0-4), facing a Football Bowl Subdivision opponent for the first time in school history, didn’t accept their fate easily. Duke’s lead quickly shriveled and stood at just 21-14 heading to the final minute of the first half. NCCU totaled 14 yards on its first seven snaps but changed that in a hurry, when former Hillside quarterback Michael Johnson heaved one deep down the middle to former Hillside teammate Geovonie Irvine for 55 yards, putting the Eagles in position to score on a 1-yard run by Tim Shankle. Duke went right back to business, but when Lewis hurt his ankle on a run, Sean Renfree came in and promptly threw an interception that Jeffery Henderson picked off and sprinted 83 yards down the right sideline with to bring NCCU within 21-14. Duke led 28-14 at the break. The second half started much like the first, with Duke again scoring on its first three drives.

Lefty, Tiger share spotlight ENTERPRISE STAFF, WIRE REPORTS

ATLANTA – Phil Mickelson capped off a tumultuous summer at home with a spectacular rally Sunday to win the Tour Championship. Tiger Woods won the FedEx Cup and its $10 million bonus. In a riveting conclusion to golf’s regular season, its two biggest stars shared the stage at East Lake with trophies that were meaningful in vastly different ways. Mickelson seized control with a 31 on the front nine and closed with a 5-under 65 for a three-shot victory, his first since his wife and his mother were diagnosed with breast cancer in the spring. Both have a positive outlook in the recovery, although it has been an emotional burden for Lefty over the last three months. Woods closed with an even-par 70, ending his playoff streak of eight consecutive rounds in the 60s, and was alone in second. Mickelson, who returned to No. 2 in the world with his victory, finished at 9-under 271. He needed Woods to finish eighth or worse to have any chance in the FedEx Cup, although Mickelson still climbed to No. 2 and earned a $3 million bonus,.

NFL 4D www.hpe.com MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2009 THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE

Struggling QBs Romo, Delhomme ready to square off ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) – Cheer up, Tony Romo. Jake Delhomme knows exactly how it feels. Those frustrating interceptions. All the griping fans. The support of teammates that you hope is sincere. A body of work that shows turnovers are just part of the deal, the downside of the go-

for-broke style that lifted you from obscurity to Pro Bowler. Maybe they’ll talk about it tonight, during warmups before Romo and the Dallas Cowboys play Delhomme and the Carolina Panthers. Or maybe they don’t have to discuss it. Both have been around long enough to know the drill.

Romo actually opened the season with a brilliant game against Tampa Bay, throwing for more yards than ever in what also happened to be his first game of the post-Terrell Owens era. In the spotlight of last weekend’s opener of Cowboys Stadium he threw three interceptions, each turning into a touchdown

Lions put end to their 19-game losing streak THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT – The Detroit Lions ended their 19-game losing streak by holding off the Washington Redskins for a 19-14 victory on Sunday. Matthew Stafford threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Bryant Johnson in the first quarter and the two connected to draw a key penalty to set up a TD in the fourth quarter. The Lions (1-2) had not won since Dec. 23, 2007 and their skid matched the second longest in NFL history.

Passengers approach the check-in counter at the Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport in Minneapolis. In the past two months, all the big U.S. carriers have added $50 fees to check a second bag on flights to Europe.

Airlines charge international baggage fees MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – You can leave the U.S., but it’s getting harder to leave behind baggage fees. Fees to check bags on international flights are creeping in and may be here to stay. In the past three months, all the big U.S. carriers have added $50 fees to check a second bag on flights to Europe. Delta and Continental are charging second-bag fees for flights to Latin America, too. We’ve flown this route before, with domestic bag fees. United Airlines started with a fee to check a second bag last year,

and other carriers followed. The wave of international bag fees got started July 1 when Delta began charging to check a second bag between the U.S. and Europe. By limiting baggage fees to domestic flights, the U.S. carriers left out a huge chunk of their traffic. More than half of Continental’s traffic this year has been international. At Delta, which started the move toward international bag fees, almost 39 percent of its traffic is international. So far, the U.S. carriers don’t charge bag fees on most Asian

routes. That will likely change. And charging to check the first bag on international flights is a revenue opportunity that might be too good to pass up. “Yes. Of course baggage fees will spread worldwide to include even the first bag,” said Jay Sorensen, an airline consultant who has studied and written about the carriers’ so-called ancillary revenue. “I think baggage fees will be the most widespread of the a la carte fees, because they truly are optional,” he said. “You don’t have to check a bag.”

Sorensen said U.S. carriers will run into trouble charging fees on codeshare flights, where a ticket on, say, fee-charging Delta, might have been sold by partner Air France, which checks two bags for free. Airline fares have fallen sharply in the recession, and many in the industry have argued that fees are basically a way to make up some of the shortfall. Luggage is expensive to handle and its weight makes the plane burn more jet fuel, so it makes sense for that service to cost something, the thinking goes.

Reynolds chief saw tax hike as an opportunity MCCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

About a year ago, Reynolds American chief executive Susan Ivey figured federal cigarette taxes would take a big jump just as the economy was shriveling. The higher cost would mean fewer sales, a squeeze on profits. In advance of the 62 cent per-pack April 1 tax hike,

the largest in history, Ivey led a stepped-up marketing campaign to promote Pall Mall cigarettes, one of Reynolds’ mid-priced offerings. Sales soared for the 110-year-old brand, and Pall Mall’s market share jumped an unprecedented 82 percent from the first quarter to the second quarter. Workers added overtime shifts to keep up with demand.

“That involves, from a leadership perspective, turning challenges into competitive opportunities,” Ivey said. “That requires an organization that isn’t deerin-headlights freaked out by the changes.” Tobacco has long faced bigger challenges than most industries because its products are responsible for a lot of illness and death. On top of the

recession, it faces more smoking bans, advertising restrictions, growing regulation, higher taxes and fewer smokers. Reynolds, based in Winston-Salem, announced 570 job cuts late last year, about 10 percent of its work force. No factory workers were among those laid off. Ivey, with 28 years in the industry, has focused

on building trust, encouraging flexibility and communication as she guides the company she joined after a merger five years ago. “Change is fear,” she said. But, “employees can deal with anything around which there is clarity. Whether you like it ... doesn’t matter. If you know what it is, you can deal with it.”

When pharmacist Matt Miller and his business partners were preparing to open a fourth drug store earlier this year in Mooresville, they didn’t consider buying new shelving and other fixtures to outfit the business. They opted for used – just as they’d done since 2005, when an estimate to equip their second store in Kannapolis came in at $43,000, far beyond their budget. Used fixtures ended up costing $11,000, for a $32,000 savings. This time around, they’ve had even more to choose from, as recession-driven downsizing has sent a wave of used office and retail equipment into the market. The result: Some businesses’ struggles could ultimately help other companies that are aiming to grow, providing them with a more affordable way to furnish a workspace. Though used equipment has long been popular among start-ups, the economic crunch has prompted a noticeable number of new and expanding ventures to consider secondhand items, said George McAllister, regional director of the N.C. Small Business and Technology Development Center. Buying at auctions and through sellers of used fixtures and furniture can save 20 percent to 80 percent on a major expense, he said. “For us, it’s meant being able to even open a store,” said Miller, of Cannon Pharmacy, a four-store chain. “By finding the savings (in fixtures), we were able to get started.”

Wall Street braces for flurry of forecasts NEW YORK (AP) – Investors are just not sure where the economy is headed. And so the stock market may be in limbo for a while. After stocks stumbled last week on disappointing reports on housing and manufacturing, investors are concerned that the economy’s rebound will be slower than originally thought. They may cool their buying and even resort to more selling until they are more certain that the strength of the recovery warrants extending the nearly seven-monthlong advance in stocks. “The significant advance that the market has had ... has left some people with an itchy trigger finger,” said Jim McDonald, chief investment strategist at Northern Trust. This week, a number of data points should provide more insight.

DILBERT

Chief among the reports is the Labor Department’s monthly reading on the labor market, due Friday. Unemployment is considered one of the economy’s biggest obstacles. Investors also will get reports on home prices, manufacturing, consumer confidence, construction spending and factory orders. Beyond the economic data, investors will be watching for updated outlooks from companies ahead of third-quarter earnings reports next month. As the quarter comes to a close, this is the time when companies may signal how well they have been faring and what their expectations are for the remainder of the year. “Typically stocks will be soft going in to the actual earnings reports,” McDonald said, noting that stocks pulled back about 7 percent during the four

weeks leading up to second-quarter earnings season this summer. The stock market sold off last week, weighed down by unexpected drops in home sales and durable goods orders, as well as tumbling commodity prices. Investors looked past a better-than-expected report on unemployment and an improvement in consumer sentiment. A more upbeat assessment of the economy from the Federal Reserve also wasn’t enough to stoke buying. Investors are worried that the economy’s nascent recovery could falter without continued government support. “It’s quite clear that some of these stimulus programs have had a favorable impact on the economy,” said Ward McCarthy, chief financial economist at Jefferies & Co.

Gas prices drop nearly 7 cents CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) – The average price of regular gasoline in the United States has dropped nearly seven cents over a two-week period to $2.52. That’s according to the national Lundberg

Survey of fuel prices released Sunday. Analyst Trilby Lundberg says the average price for a gallon of midgrade on the survey day of Sept. 25 was $2.65. Premium was at $2.77. St. Louis had the lowest

average price among cities surveyed, at $2.16 a gallon for regular. Anchorage was the highest at $3.29. In California, a gallon of regular cost an average of $3.09. Stockton had the state’s least expensive gas at $3.06 a gallon.
