New ordinance prohibits truckers from parking tractor-trailers on their own property. prohibits the parking of large trucks on any public street unless in the process of loading and unloading. City officials said letters have been sent to those who are in violation, and only one truck driver has been issued a warning. However, truck drivers
tried to persuade the City Council to rescind the ordinance or grandfather those who currently would be in violation of the ordinance. Vickie Duncan, the wife of Trinity truck driver, David Duncan, said her husband has worked in
the trucking profession for many years. “We have spoken to all the residents in our area about his truck parked in front of our home,” Duncan said. “They’ve all told us they are fine with it. No one in my neighborhood parks on the street nor is traffic blocked ... I heard it was suggested that truck drivers should leave their truck at the company they work for. This is an impossible option for David because of the risk he would be taking for theft and vandalism for both his work truck and personal vehicle.” Ed Lohr, a Trinity resident who is a truck driver, told the City Council he thought he had fought in the Vietnam War to pro-

Officials: Tourism sales decline 14 percent in August
Seasonal chores

Matt Mahoney rides on the back of this fertilizer spreader on the lawn at High Point University. Properly applied, fertilizers can improve the health and productivity of soil and plants as they provide different essential nutrients to encourage plant growth. Experts say now is the perfect time for such outdoor chores.
HIGH POINT – Tourism sales were down 14 percent in August based on a yearto-year comparison, according to the High Point Convention and Visitor’s Bureau. The bureau secured four events in August, including the Furniture City Classic/ Piedmont Soccer Alliance, totaling 9,090 attendees and 526 hotel room night bookings for the month. “Bidding is pretty competitive as far as trying to pull groups into the city,” said Marva Wells, sales manager for the bureau, at its monthly meeting on Wednesday. “But we’re going along in our daily chores of trying to find businesses to come to High Point.” The Furniture City Classic gained the most tourism attraction in August with 1,000 attendees and 45 hotel room nights booked. “The Furniture City Classic keeps putting us on the map in the sports industry,” said Chris Adams, chairman of the
board for the bureau. An event booking incentive for $12,000 was also passed by the board for Showtime, a fabric trade event held in High Point each June and December. The grant will be divided into two installments for the bureau’s fiscal year, with $6,000 awarded in December and $6,000 awarded next June. In other tourism news, the bureau voted to provide $170,625 out of $394,200 in grants for local tourism projects through its annual Arts and Tourism Grants Program. “We heard some very compelling reports and had to make some tough decisions,” said Adams, who also heads the bureau’s arts and tourism grant committee. “In light of today’s economy, the committee felt it was in the bureau’s best interest to award the grants conservatively.” The 23 organizations that received those grants will be announced in Friday’s edition of the High Point Enterprise. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617
Board opens incentives plan to public Hearing set for today; vote could follow BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
GUILFORD COUNTY – Although they are still hammering out some final details, commissioners decided Wednesday to send a proposed small business incentives plan to a public hearing today. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners will hold the hearing during a 5:30 p.m. meeting at the Old Courthouse in Greensboro. Commissioners could adopt the plan tonight following the hearing. To pass a legal review, Commissioner Steve Arnold of High Point added a declaration of public purpose, grant range qualifications and the public hearing require-
ment to the proposed policy. Arnold proposed the policy earlier this year and lobbied commissioners to approve $1.3 million for the program. Arnold “We have tried to address all the legal issues,” Arnold said. “The policy has become less unique and more like other policies in the state.” Business owners would have to invest a minimum of $10,000 for real property improvements to receive grants over three years. Several commissioners wanted to adjust the minimum. “Why not raise it to $50,000?” suggested Democratic Commissioner Kirk Perkins. “That would have more of an impact.” Arnold said he wanted as many small businesses as possible to qualify for grants.

“We need a way to separate this policy from our other policy for industry with an investment ceiling,” said Democratic Commissioner Bruce Davis of High Point. “We need a clear line.” Arnold has yet to convince Democratic Commissioners Paul Gibson and Carolyn Coleman that the proposed policy would create more jobs. The county’s industrial incentives plan is aimed at job creation. “Why give tax grants for something someone would do anyway? Gibson said. “This policy does not help. It is not an incentive for jobs.” Commissioners also discussed extending the incentives to commercial multi-family developments. Republican Commissioner Mike Winstead, a Greensboro property developer, liked that idea. “It is hard to start a job today,”

Wilson’s son says congressman is not racist
ATLANTA (AP) – U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson’s oldest son defended his father against a claim by former President Jimmy Carter that the congressman’s outburst during a speech by President Barack Obama was “based on J. Wilson racism.” Responding to an audience question at a town hall at his presidential center in Atlanta,
‘There is not a racist bone in my dad’s body. He doesn’t even laugh at distasteful jokes.’ Alan Wilson U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson’s son
Carter said on Tuesday that Wilson’s outburst was also rooted in fears of a black president. “I think it’s based on racism,” Carter said. “There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president.” But Wilson’s son disputed that. “There is not a racist bone in my dad’s body,” said Alan Wilson, an Iraq veteran who is running for state attorney general in South Carolina. “He doesn’t even laugh at distasteful jokes. I won’t comment on former President Carter, because I don’t know President Carter.

Former President Jimmy Carter is flanked by his wife Rosalynn as he speaks during “Conversations at the Carter Center” on Tuesday in Atlanta. Carter was scheduled to update the audience on current peace and health initiatives the Center is working on. But I know my dad, and it’s just not in him.” “It’s unfortunate people make that jump. People can disagree – and appropriately disagree – on issues of substance, but when they make the jump to race it’s absolutely ludicrous. My brothers and I were raised by our parents to respect everyone regardless of background or race.” Carter, a Democrat, said Joe Wilson’s outburst was a part of a disturbing trend directed at
the president that has included demonstrators equating Obama to Nazi leaders. “Those kind of things are not just casual outcomes of a sincere debate on whether we should have a national program on health care,” he said. “It’s deeper than that.” Wilson’s spokesman was not immediately available for comment. Wilson, a South Carolina Republican, was formally re-
Grand jury checks Easley’s permit
RALEIGH (AP) – Two state environmental engineers have been called to testify before a federal grand jury this week, including one who examined the permit for a development where thenGov. Mike Easley bought some land in 2005. Federal prosecutors in Raleigh asked Nathaniel Thornburg and Jim Bushardt to visit the grand jury, according to subpoenas provided by the state Division of Water Quality, where both employees work. Based on people asked
to testify and docum e n t s s o u g h t in recent months, the U.S. Attorney’s Easley Office in Raleigh has been examining a wide range of activities involving Easley’s airplane travels while governor and former first lady Mary Easley’s job at North Carolina State University. Thornburg, who works in Raleigh, was the primary reviewer of a waste-
water treatment facility permit for Cannonsgate, according to a division document listing issued permits. Several stormwater and sewer permits for the development at Bogue Sound in Carteret County were approved by the division in June and July of 2005, the division said Wednesday. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported last week the Easleys accepted a $137,000 discount on a waterfront lot at Cannonsgate in December 2005. The newspaper said the Easleys put down ear-

nest money earlier that year, in mid-June. The Cannonsgate project involved several of Easley’s political allies, including McQueen Campbell, who represented a Raleigh real estate broker in selling the acreage that became the residential development. Campbell’s name has been listed often on subpoenas generated by prosecutors. Campbell resigned as chairman of the N.C. State trustee board in May as scrutiny grew about his involvement in Mary Easley’s hiring.

JAMESTOWN – A Guilford County sheriff’s deputy used a Taser Wednesday to gain control of a Ragsdale High School student authorities said was combative and threatened school personnel. A School Resource Officer at Ragsdale responded to a disturbance on the campus about 9 a.m. in which the 15-year-old female student was threatening two faculty members, according to the sheriff’s office. The officer “attempted to de-escalate the situation but was unsuccessful,� deputies said. He then attempted to place the student, and she began assaulting the deputy, who used the Taser to gain control. After the Taser strike, the student was checked by Guilford County EMS personnel and found to have sustained no harmful effects, authorities said. The student, who was not identified, was then taken to the Juvenile Court system.

U.K. teens cleared of Columbine-inspired plot
LONDON – Two British teens obsessed with the Columbine shootings were acquitted Wednesday of charges they plotted a copycat massacre, after a jury rejected the notion that diary entries outlining a similar attack were anything more than a fantasy. The jury took only 45 minutes to clear Ross McKnight, 16, and Matthew Swift, 18, of plotting an attack at their high school just east of the northwestern English city of Manchester on the 10th anniversary of the U.S. killings.
BAGHDAD (AP) – Insurgents fired at least two rockets at the Baghdad’s Green Zone Wednesday, just minutes after Vice President Joe Biden wrapped up meetings with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki expressing confidence that attempts to destabilize Iraq through violence will fail. The sound of the rockets being fired could be heard on the side of the Tigris River opposite the Green Zone, and people inside alMaliki’s office where the meetings
took place, including Biden and alMaliki themselves, were warned to stay inside. The rockets could be heard exploding in the vicinity of the Green Zone Biden but there were no immediate reports of casualties. It was the second such attack in as many nights as Biden met with American and Iraqi officials inside the Green Zone, a fortified area in
downtown Baghdad that houses government offices, agencies and the U.S. and British embassies. After Biden’s arrival Tuesday, four rockets were fired at the Green Zone in an attack that killed two Iraqi civilians. The attacks took place after Biden had retired for the night following meetings with American officials on the first day of his visit. Three suspects were detained for questioning in the attack, but later let go.
Pilots question speed sensors’ troubled history
PARIS – Airbus knew since at least 2002 about problems with the type of speed sensor that malfunctioned on an Air France passenger plane that went down in June, The Associated Press has learned. But air safety authorities did not order their replacement until after the crash, which killed all 228 people aboard. Investigators insist sensor malfunction was not the cause of the crash, but many pilots think false speed readings may have triggered a chain of events that doomed the plane.

Gazans welcome U.N. war crimes report GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) – Gazans who lost loved ones during Israel’s winter offensive against Hamas militants said Wednesday they’re taking some solace from a U.N. report that accuses both sides of committing war crimes, but they’re skeptical anyone will be brought to justice. In Israel, the findings of the U.N. team sparked outrage and deepened a sense that the Jewish
state is being treated unfairly by the international community. While the U.N. investigation labeled Hamas rocket attacks on Israeli towns as war crimes, the bulk of the findings focused on Israeli actions during the threeweek war. The report echoed findings in a string of human rights reports released in recent months, but it could carry more weight, both because it
was authored by a widely respected former war crimes prosecutor, Richard Goldstone, and because at least in theory it opens the way to charges against Israel before the International Criminal Court. For technical and political reasons, however, putting Israelis or Palestinians on trial would be difficult under the present system of international justice.

U.S. ambassador walks streets of Kabul KABUL (AP) – The U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan strolled the streets of Kabul on Wednesday, chatting with schoolchildren and visiting a mosque during an impromptu city tour. Though insurgent attacks have skyrocketed across Afghanistan this year, Ambassador Karl Eikenberry’s 15-minute stroll – while wearing a business suit and with no visible body armor – under-
scores the fact that the Afghan capital remains relatively safe. An American ambassador in Iraq would never have taken an unplanned stroll down a busy city street during the deadliest years of the war there because of the extreme dangers he would have faced. After his walk, Eikenberry said getting out and meeting people was “extremely valuable� and that he often takes walks around the city.

Baucus outlines health plan without GOP support WASHINGTON (AP) – His calls for compromise rebuffed by Republicans, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Finance Committee unveiled sweeping legislation Wednesday to remake the nation’s costly health care system largely along the lines outlined by President Barack Obama. Sen. Max Baucus’ proposal, months in the making, drew quick criticism from liberals who said his vision was too cramped and from Republicans who deemed it overly expansive. Yet whatever its fate, its mere release marked a critical turning point in Congress’ long and tumultuous debate over Obama’s top domestic priority. The Finance Committee is to meet next week to vote on the plan, and after combining it with another panel’s bill, Majority Leader Harry Reid intends to begin debate on the Senate floor late this month or early October.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., holds news conference in Washington Wednesday. Across the Capitol, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been waiting to see Baucus’ health care prescription before advancing companion legislation toward a vote by the House. “We cannot let this opportunity pass,” Baucus, D-Mont., said as he out-
lined a $856 billion plan designed to protect millions who have unreliable insurance or no coverage at all, at the same time restraining the explosive growth of medical costs. Congressional budget experts estimated the proposal would reduce the
‘Laugh-In’ actor Henry Gibson dies LOS ANGELES (AP) – Henry Gibson, the veteran comic character actor best known for his role reciting offbeat poetry on “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In,” has died at 73. Gibson’s son, James, said Gibson died Monday at his home in Malibu after a brief battle with cancer. After serving in the Air Force and studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, Gibson – born James Bateman in Germantown, Pa., in 1935 – created his Henry Gibson comic persona, a pun on playwright Henrik Ibsen’s name, while working as a theater actor in New
ranks of the uninsured by 29 million over a decade. They also predicted the plan would trim federal deficits by $49 billion over the same period and suggested savings in the range of hundreds of billions of dollars might result for the decade that
follows. Many of the bill’s major provisions would be delayed until 2013, after the next presidential election. But the impact of one of the key concessions Baucus made in a sofar-unsuccessful search for Republican support
– allowing cooperatives, rather than the federal government, to sell insurance in competition with private industry – was judged harshly. “They seem unlikely to establish a significant market presence in many areas of the country,” wrote Douglas W. Elmendorf, head of the Congressional Budget Office. Supporters claim the co-ops would compete effectively with private companies and help hold down the cost of insurance, but CBO’s assessment is likely to re-energize advocates of direct government competition. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs called the overall legislation an “important building block” that “gets us closer to comprehensive health care reform.” Reid, too, described it as “another important piece to the puzzle” on the road to health care legislation.

CINCINNATI (AP) – A woman took a stranger’s toddler son over her knee and spanked him three times inside a Salvation Army store after he said something that annoyed her, police said Wednesday. Gloria Ballard was arrested on an assault charge in the Tuesday incident. In a court appearance Wednesday, she asked for a public defender and a not guilty plea was entered for her. She was also ordered to stay away from 2-yearold Sean Goode and his mother, Donnay Jones. Outside court, Ballard
denied wrongdoing and said she gave the boy a hug
‘She was basically trying to tell me what to do with my son.’ Donnay Jones Child’s mother and gently patted his backside because he was upset. Jones said her son got spanked after Ballard told her she should make
him behave. “She was basically trying to tell me what to do with my son,” Jones told WLWTTV. She told Ballard she would handle her own business and son. Then, she said, Ballard took Sean from her and spanked him, causing him to cry. “I was shocked,” Jones told WCPO-TV on Wednesday. Ballard, 43, faces a charge that carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. She said she is a mother and grandmother who was just trying to help.
Official: Yale graduate was suffocated Clark is not talking to police, Lewis said. “At some point he may be willing to answer questions, but at this point he has invoked his rights,” Lewis said. “He has an attorney. We couldn’t question him if we wanted to.” Clark’s attorney, David Dworski, said his client is “committed to proceeding appropriately with the authorities.” A police
lab is expediting tests on Clark’s DNA. University of Connecticut genetics professor Linda Straus Baugh says testing can be done in days if a case gets top priority. Clark’s job as an animal-services technician at Yale would probably put him in contact with Le, who worked for a Yale laboratory that conducted experiments on mice.

Wednesday morning, for more items from the apartment and for Clark’s Ford Le Mustang, Police Chief James Lewis said. Investigators said they expect to determine within days whether Clark should be charged in the killing. He was escorted in handcuffs from his apartment and released early Wednesday into the custody of his attorney, police said. Lewis said Clark and several other people are under constant police surveillance. He said police expect to seek an arrest warrant for anyone whose DNA matches evidence at the crime scene.

Police call Raymond Clark III a “person of interest” in the slaying of Annie Le. Authorities hoped to compare DNA taken from Clark’s hair, fingernails and saliva with more than 250 pieces of evidence collected at the crime scene on the Ivy League campus and from Clark’s Middletown, Conn., apartment.

Jail ministry program has changed my life
Greetings. My name is Lindsey Galloway. I am currently an inmate at the High Point Detention Center. I’m writing this letter to express my sincere appreciation for the High Point jail ministry program and to those who make this ministry possible. It has changed my life. Today, I am a new creature in Christ and my personal relationship with my Lord and Savior is growing stronger every day. Never did I imagine the joy, the peace I feel today would arrive to me in jail. It did, and I thank the High Point jail ministry for it. I’ve seen the inside of many jails and institutions where my drug addiction has led me over the past 19 years. Here, in the High Point jail, the church services, events and volunteers have not only created in me a new heart, they have instilled in me Christian morals and values that have changed my outlook on life. Because of that, I thank God for placing me here. If ever there was a place that provides the personnel and tools necessary to turn your life around, it is the High Point Detention Center. This letter is not to encourage those lost in their ways to try and come to the High Point jail by disobeying the laws of our society. It is simply a note of appreciation from a man whose soul was lost, but now is found. Again, I say thank you to High Point jail ministries! It has made an impact and a difference in my life that will last for eternity. Praise God! LINDSEY F. GALLOWAY JR. High Point

express whatever is on their minds. Some articles are insightful and informative while others are biased and shortsighted; it’s the shortsighted/biased ones that give me a chuckle. Ken Sawyer’s article on Sept. 11 asserts the U.S. hasn’t really won a war since World War II. In his writing, he points out “as long as we worry about collateral damage” our enemies will use it as a weapon; and in the grand scheme of things, not much to debate about. However, the logic is flawed when it comes to what he views as victory. Sawyer states we failed in the first Gulf War because we did not follow through and remove the dictator. Applying this logic, we didn’t win World War II either. Japan’s government was never overthrown by the Allied forces but was reformed as stipulated in the Potsdam document that outlined the terms of Japan’s unconditional surrender. The second example belongs to Carlton Boyles. In his article on Sept. 12, he attempts to point out, with a bit of math, on how the cash for clunkers program was a bad deal as far as the numbers are concerned. While in fact his equation proves the C4C program to be a bad idea, and the math is accurate, it is also incomplete.

Thomasville spill raises questions I
T
he Enterprise has published a number of views on the underreporting of a 15.93 million gallon sewage spill in Thomasville between July 13 and Aug. 4. Thomasville City Manager Kelly Craver says it was unintentional. City Public Services Director Morgan Huffman says is was a miscommunication. Environmental Protection Agency officials say there was no criminal intent. Yadkin Riverkeeper Dean Naujoks says it was a lie. We say there’s a need for further explanation. Craver said a collapsed manhole (possibly caused by a rain storm) in a main sewer line on Baptist Children’s Home Road resulted in the spill, which was repaired Aug. 4. The city reported to the state that a spill of 385,000 gallons of untreated wastewater had occurred. A subsequent investigation by Naujoks, however, uncovered information that put the spillage at 15.93 million gallons instead. As Yadkin Riverkeeper, Naujoks keeps tabs on such matters because the wastewater spilled into Hamby Creek, which flows eventually into the Yadkin and could impact its water quality. Thomasville paid a $1,616 fine based on the 385,000 total. More fines are expected. And more explanation is expected, too, such as of the question: Why did such a large spill go so long without being detected and repaired?

Obviously for some, there is a culture war, literally
don’t know who coined the term “culture war” to describe our political divisions, but I’m reasonably sure he or she intended it only as a figure of speech. It feels like something else in light of a new report from the Intelligence Project of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors extremist groups. “Terror From the Right” is a listing of bombers, killers, would-be assassins and insurrectionists motivated by anger over abortion, gays, taxes, blacks, Muslims and illegal immigrants. Which raises an obvious fair and balanced question: What about terror from the left? The SPLC’s Mark Potok says left-wing terror essentially means eco-terrorists, e.g., animal rights extremists. The death toll from their work, he says, is zero. By contrast, Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people because he was angry at the government, brothers Matthew and Tyler Williams shot two men to death for being gay, James Kopp killed Dr. Barnett Slepian for being an abortion provider, and dozens of other men have been indicted for dozens of other plots to kill thousands of other people with whom they had political disagreements. It’s one thing to read these stories in isolation and another to see them collected, and thereby connected, here, one extremist plot after another in the 14 years since Oklahoma City. It gives you a sense that – apologies to Buffalo Springfield – there’s something happening here, and what it is is all too clear. The report provides troubling context for the outrageous behavior that has attended the election of our first African-American president. When you call them on that behavior, Barack Obama’s detractors love to accuse you of equating dissent with racism. It is a specious argument. I disagree with the president’s use of signing statements to avoid complying with laws he doesn’t like, but it would never occur to me to carry a sign vowing death to him, his wife and their “two stupid kids” as a protester in Maryland did, or to pray that Obama dies of brain cancer as a “minister” in Arizona does, or to heckle him during a joint
session of Congress as Rep. Joe Wilson infamously did. That’s not dissent. It is the howl of the unhinged and the entitled. The same folks who were complacent as President Bush spent surplus into deficit, wasted $600 billion and 4,000 AmeriOPINION can lives on the wrong war, and watched a major American city Leonard drown are morally outraged Pitts because the new guy wants to ■■■ reform health care? For many of them, I think – not all – that’s because they find it hard to accept that the new guy is liberal ... and black. As Potok sees it, some of us are angry over the dramatic changes underfoot in this nation. “People who want this country to remain a white-dominated country have lost. They have completely and utterly lost the battle and they can never win it. If they were to seal the borders tomorrow, whites would still lose their majority in a matter of years, simply as a result of the difference in fertility rate.” As a result, many people “feel that this is no longer the country that their Christian white forefathers built, that they have been robbed, that this isn’t the world they grew up in and that they are very, very frightened” – a feeling stoked and exploited by political and media demagogues, who will loudly disclaim responsibility when that fear becomes violence. The president is black, the secretary of state is a woman, the new Supreme Court justice is Hispanic, the nation is changing, becoming vastly more inclusive. If some see that as a redemption of promise, the SPLC report reminds us that others regard it as an embodiment of threat. For the record, at least six of the plots it recounts were motivated by, or against, Obama. Take it as proof. “Culture war” is not a figure of speech.

Sadly, ‘race-chasers’ divert the national health care debate
A
poorly-kept whisper campaign is currently moving through Washington where Democrats are grumbling over and outright accusing those who oppose President Obama’s health reform plan as borderline racists. Aww, who am I kidding … if you ask folks like Democrats Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine and South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn, Joe Wilson and all his Republican cronies are to blame. They’re nothing but pure racists, just one dip away from being card-carrying members of the Klan. It so infests their minds that they cannot rationally look at the policies they’re sworn to deliberate. To hear New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd explain this syndrome, the GOP white guys in the room can’t resist the nervous twitch to shout “boy!” whenever they see the president. I’d share her column with you to read for yourself, but apparently she believes someone would actually pay to see her pabulum. Some days, I just shake my head at Clyburn because the things that come out of his mouth Opinion are more entertaining than lucid. But Kaine? The moderate Armstrong governor should know better. His Williams speech last Friday insinuating that race – or worse, racism – was the principal motivating factor behind the opposition of Republican leaders and their followers is beyond absurd. Even he doesn’t believe it, because if he did, he wouldn’t have demurred and become slack-jawed when reporters tried to pin him down on his position. Somebody call Howard Dean; the Obama brainwashing procedure worked well, but not well enough. This is lunacy personified, and has no place in Washington with all of the serious policy concerns facing the Congress. But instead of rising above it as Speaker Pelosi rightfully suggested less than 12 hours following Wilson’s shout heard ’round the world by saying, “It’s time for us to talk about health care and not Mr. Wilson,” House Democrats want revenge. Talk about stepping on your messages for the week. I’m so tired of politicians who feign outrage on issues involving a black man and a white man but have nothing to do with race. Does the left honestly believe there would be any less criticism or fewer passionate outbursts if President Hillary Clinton had proposed universal

health care? If you ask a Democrat (or someone shilling for them like Dowd), we’d be talking about Wilson’s sexist remarks. You see, the context of the moment, the character of the individual, or even the apology afterwards doesn’t matter to the “race-chasers.” It’s the fourth rail of politics: fear your minority candidate or official is in trouble? Drop an “ism” and watch his/her opponents scatter. What next? Is every criticism of the president now subject to a racial filter? Are we to ask every opponent of the president, “Is there hatred in your heart when you say that?”? Of all those who should be the most upset, it’s President Obama. After all, he forgave Joe Wilson. Shouldn’t that be enough? And on the heels of a solid performance last week, when momentum among the party faithful had clearly shifted to the White House, another distraction has reared its head. This is costing Obama something he doesn’t have a lot of – time. These final few months represent the administration’s best chances for pushing the health measure through both chambers. And yet, instead of spending this week deeply focused on what a public option could mean to taxpayers and working through an intra-party compromise, Democrats would rather take to the floor and gnash their teeth. A black man is in the White House. America took a giant step forward in acknowledging the painful chapter President Obama’s election closed in the annals of our great country’s history. It’s time to move forward. Now is not the time to trip over something we as a nation have already passed.

ristine Kaiser reasons in her column Sunday that because a drug company (Pfizer, Inc.) was fined, government is thus the “worthiest steward of the ... health care system.” First, we cannot assume that business is of itself evil. The motive in business is indeed to make a profit. Illgotten gains are wrong and should be punished. Pfizer broke the rules; it paid – even if it considers such payment the “cost of doing business.” But profit rewards those who took a risk and won. This includes stockholders. They in effect give the company backing to manufacture products or provide services they hope others will buy. If it works, their investment also creates jobs and generates tax revenue. Many retired people use investments for income. The value of stocks directly affects them. Understand that business is also the only real source of wealth, including that of government, which doesn’t create wealth at all but takes money from X, extracts its “fee,” then gives to Y. Tobacco, oil and, yes, pharmaceuticals pay billions in taxes. So do shareholders. How much depends on profits. I should think we would all want business to therefore do well regardless. Kaiser implies dishonesty in one area means another is by default honest. But there’s no shortage of corruption. The motive for the politician is not only wealth
---
but power. Remember the past promise of “30 acres and a mule?” Casting business as the bad guy is a common pitch, too. Those who might stop at nothing for our vote are no more necessarily deserving of trust than anyone. Government’s appetite for power was meant to be curbed by its constitutional limits. Finally, Kaiser calls Medicare a “big success.” It’s going broke, and to add another bloc of citizens into a similar program makes no fiscal sense. It’s the same fractured logic of a friend whose business had declined. Unable to make the payments on his house and lot, he bought another house, which had a garage apartment, intending to rent both. The spotty income didn’t cover the now two mortgages. In a few years, he lost it all, including his personal credit. The only good thing is he didn’t expect to be bailed out. This is the same way politicians try to solve problems they helped create – dreaming up complicated schemes rather than just give up what can’t be sustained. In the end, neither profiteers nor politicians make worthy stewards. Decisions about one’s own resources, including their risks and rewards, are the USA citizen’s constitutional privilege and responsibility. CAROL COX lives in High Point.

Feds probe attack on reservist as hate crime
AP
President Barack Obama fist bumps fencer Daria Schneider during a display of fencing, on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington Wednesday during an event supporting Chicago’s 2016 Olympic bid.
Obama drums up support for Olympic bid
WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama staged a homecoming-style Olympic rally at the White House Wednesday, saying the whole country is rooting for his hometown of Chicago in its efforts to host the 2016 Summer Games. “Chicago is ready. The American people are ready. We want these games,” he said to applause from the Olympians, Paralympians, local schoolchildren, politicians and other supporters in attendance. “If you choose Chicago, I prom-
ise you this – Chicago will make America proud, and America will make the world proud,” Obama added. The International Olympic Committee will choose a host city during an Oct. 2 meeting in Copenhagen. Obama will not attend the meetings, instead sending first lady Michelle Obama to lead the U.S. delegation. Chicago is in a tough competition with Rio de Janeiro, Madrid and Tokyo. In recent years, na-
tional leaders have traveled to the IOC meetings to help seal the deal – such as Tony Blair for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London and Vladimir Putin for the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. “I would make the case in Copenhagen personally,” Obama said, noting he’s busy seeking a health care overhaul. “But the good news is I’m sending a more compelling superstar to represent the city and country we love, and that is our first lady, Michelle Obama.”
Study: 8 million Americans consider suicide
WASHINGTON (AP) – More than 8 million Americans seriously consider suicide each year, according to a new government study. About 32,000 suicides occur in the United States each year, but a new study by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration indicates that many more give the idea serious thought.
The new SAMHSA report is based on a survey of 46,190 people aged 18 and older. In the past, the question about suicide had only been asked of people who reported major depression but in 2008 it was added to all questionnaires. Other findings: • People 18 to 25 years old were far more likely to have seriously
considered suicide in the previous year (6.7 percent) than those 26 to 49 (3.9 percent). • Just 2.3 percent seriously considered suicide among those 50 or older. • Among people with a substance abuse disorder, 11 percent had considered suicide, compared to 3 percent for people without such disorders.
ATLANTA (AP) – A black female Army reservist said Wednesday she hasn’t been able to sleep since she was beaten by a white man in front of her 7-year-old daughter last week, and federal authorities said they were investigating the incident as a hate crime. Tashawnea Hill was kicked and punched Sept. 9 as the man screamed racial slurs outside a Cracker Barrel in Morrow, about 15 miles southeast of Atlanta, police said. Troy D. West, 47, became enraged when Hill West told him to be careful after he nearly hit her daughter while opening the restaurant’s door, police said. Hill was taken to the hospital afterward and said she is still in shock. “I was ... violently and racially assaulted by a very disgusting man, and

D.C. sniper mastermind’s execution set for November
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – A Virginia judge on Wednesday set a Nov. 10 execution date for John Allen Muhammad, mastermind of the 2002 sniper attacks in the Washington, D.C., area that left 10 dead. Prince William County Circuit Judge Mary Grace O’Brien picked a Tuesday for the execution so that courts would be open the day before in case of any last-minute legal appeals. Jonathan Sheldon, Muhammad’s attorney, said Muhammad would appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court

Hospital aims to curb flu cases BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – High Point Regional Health System today will begin requiring visitors to wash or sanitize their hands before entering the facility, to help curb the spread of H1N1 flu. “We’ve noticed over the last few days a definite increase in the number of
Visitors will be asked to sanitize their hands before seeing patients. patients presenting to the Emergency Department with influenza symptoms, so we’re trying to be pro-

active by doing everything we can to minimize the spread of the illness,” explained Dr. Greg Taylor, chief medical officer at High Point Regional. The new visitor policy will help protect the safety of patients, visitors and staff, he said. According to Taylor, visitors will be asked to sanitize their hands with an alcohol gel – or, for
those who may be allergic to such gels, to wash their hands with soap and water – before visiting patients. “Hand hygiene is still the most effective way to prevent the spreading of the illness,” he said. While hospital officials have not banned visitors, they are discouraging visitors who have flulike symptoms and recommending
that children younger than 12 not come to the hospital, Taylor said. Individuals exhibiting noticeable signs and symptoms associated with influenza – such as a cough and runny or stuffy nose – will be asked to wear a procedure mask while they are in the facility, he said. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Man sentenced to 40 years for robbery spree BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – A High Point man was sentenced to a federal prison term Tuesday in connection with a string of armed robberies. At a hearing in U.S. District Court, Matthew Christopher Savoy received 40 years and 3 months behind bars after pleading guilty last year to his role in convenience store robberies in early 2008. Savoy, 20, is one of four High Point men indicted by a federal grand jury last year on robbery and firearms-related offenses in connection with 10 robberies between Dec. 12, 2007 and Jan. 3, 2008 at businesses just off the Business Interstate 85 in High Point, Thomasville and Lexington. Savoy pleaded guilty to conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery and two counts of carrying and using a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, court records show. According to court documents, Savoy pleaded
guilty to taking part in at least two of the robberies, both of which occurred Jan. 3, 2008. The first took place at the Pantry Shop No. 5 at 500 National Highway in Thomasville. Savoy and a juvenile, both of whom were armed with guns, stole cash and cigarettes from the store. They also stole cash from the Green Market at 900 W. Green Drive in High Point later that evening. Savoy is the third of the four defendants in the case to be sentenced. Ronnie Lee Covington Jr. and Marcel Orlando West, both 21, were sentenced to 21 years and 10 years in prison, respectively, in June. The final co-defendant, Keith Lauchon Jackson Jr., 20, has not been sentenced. Jackson and Covington also face murder charges in state court in the October 2007 shooting death of 21year-old Joshua Matthew Sweitzer at what was then the Lucky Mart convenience store in south High Point. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531
Revitalizing Thomasville takes spotlight at forum BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
THOMASVILLE – The topic of revitalizing the Chair City highlighted a candidate forum Wednesday sponsored by the High Point Regional Association of Realtors. At the forum, candidates for Thomasville City Council and mayor, as well as one candidate for Trinity City Council, fielded questions from a panel of Realtors. Six candidates seeking a seat at on the City Council – Jackie Jackson, David Yemm, George Burton, Jay Browning, Scott Styers and Carl Shatley – joined Joe Bennett and Earl Harrison, both seeking the mayor’s seat, at the forum. Robin Russell was the lone Trinity City Council candidate to attend the forum. On revitalizing Thomasville, Bennett, an incumbent for mayor, said efforts to improve the city’s downtown already are under way. He noted that People Achieving Community Enhancement, a city committee, is currently building a downtown amphitheater that will be

This is going back to team effort.” Yemm, an incumbent Thomasville councilman, said a lot of his focus has been on revitalizing downtown Thomasville to make sure it is vibrant and active so other parts of the town will do the same. Shatley, a political newcomer, said his first experience with revitalization of downtown Thomasville was with the Thomasville Farmers Market, which

PACE helped create. While others told him it would take three or four years to get the market, he said nine months later the farmers market was established in the Chair City. “I could not accept this long-term commitment to get something done,” he said. Jackson, a former Richmond, Va., councilwoman, said the Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce has played a key role in being located in downtown Thomasville. With the chamber’s office moving to Randolph Street, she said it’s important for Thomasville officials to find something to put in the chamber’s current location. “This requires us to do some smart planning.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

‘Person of interest’ in pregnant teen’s slaying loses job MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Royce Anthony Mitchell, named as a “person of interest” in the shooting death of 15-year-old Tiffany Wright on Monday, has been fired from his job with the city of Charlotte, city officials said Wednesday. Mitchell, who has been charged with statutory rape and indecent liberties with a minor, had worked in
the Charlotte Department of Transportation. Kim McMillan of the city of Charlotte said Wednesday morning “after administrative review, the City of Charlotte has terminated the employment of Royce Mitchell for falsifying his employment application, which is in violation of city policy.” Mitchell, who was hired by the city in 2007, earned $25,808 annually with the street maintenance de-
partment, McMillan said. McMillan did not say in what way Mitchell falsified his employment application, but city officials said Wednesday that as a result of the Mitchell case, they plan to expand background checks to include a search of federal offenses around the country. Mitchell served time in a federal prison on drug charges. Until now, city officials’ criminal background checks have
included local and state records, and federal records in the Justice Department’s Western North Carolina District. Wright, who was eight months pregnant, was shot in the head Monday morning while waiting for a school bus. Police are trying to determine if Mitchell was the father of the baby, who was delivered by doctors and is still alive.
AP
Charlotte police officers escort Royce Mitchell to an awaiting police car Monday in Charlotte. Police are investigating whether the 36-year-old adopted brother of slain teen Tiffany Wright, 15, fathered the girl’s baby and whether or not he was involved in her death.

RALEIGH – The owners of a North Raleigh tavern said Tuesday that the plastic surgeon now facing second-degree murder charges was refused alcohol shortly before a collision Friday night that left a ballet dancer dead. Billy McGee, a co-owner of The Piper’s Restaurant and Tavern on Falls of Neuse Road, also said the doctor, Raymond Dwight Cook, turned down offers to arrange a ride home for him. “We were led to believe someone else was driving,” McGee said. Cook, 42, is accused of driving drunk and at 85 mph, crashing into a vehicle driven by Elena Bright Shapiro on Strick-
land Road. Shapiro, an aspiring professional ballerina with the Carolina Ballet, was killed. Roger W. Smith Jr., the Raleigh lawyer representing Cook, said Cook will meet Friday with administrators of a physicians’ substance abuse program to begin whatever treatment plan they prescribe. Cook has a history of being accused of drunken driving. In 1989, he was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol in Camden County, Ga. Cook pleaded no contest to the charge. In 1988, in North Carolina, he was accused of driving while impaired in Forsyth County. The prosecution of that charge was abandoned when no probable cause for the charge was found.

CHARLOTTE (AP) – The financially struggling Charlotte Symphony has received two $1 million gifts on the same day. The Charlotte Observer reported Wednesday that one contribution came from Hugh and Jane McColl and another from the Spangler family through the C.D. Spangler Foundation. Hugh McColl is a former head of Charlottebased Bank of America. C.D. Spangler Jr. is a businessman and former head of the University of North Carolina system. The two donations, announced Tuesday, mean the orchestra will survive the season. Things had been dicey since May, when the Arts & Science Council said it would cut the orchestra’s funding by at least half. “That’s no longer a question,” executive director Jonathan Martin said.
Dear In Crushing Pain: There ARE no “rules.” And it does occasionally happen – most famously with Mia Farrow, her adopted daughter and her longtime boyfriend Woody Allen. But I believe Ms. Farrow cut off all contact with both of them. But enough about her. You are going to have to figure out what will work best for you. Your first
ADVICE Dear Abby ■■■
step should be to seek spiritual support. Sometimes, with time, comes acceptance. But right now, it is crucial that you take care of yourself.
Dear Abby: I’m 19 and finally getting my life together. I have already experienced a lot emotionally and physically. I have recently started on the path to sobriety, but there are two problems. In the city where I live there is nothing to do after 10 p.m. if you’re not a drunk. My friends from childhood not only do not support me but tell me I should just have a drink. I know you should keep yourself surrounded by people who will lift you up, but these people have been my close companions for many years, and I don’t think I can dismiss them that easily. Please help me. I like how my life is right now, and I need to know how to stay focused. – Drunk Or Sober? in New York Dear D. Or S.?: If you want to hang onto your sobriety, you are going to have to fight for it. You got off on a wrong path very early, and so did your childhood friends. But now you have an opportunity to make new ones – the members of
your sobriety program. The more time you spend with them, the less time you will have to allow yourself to be seduced into falling off the wagon. If you’re strong enough to do this, you can be a role model for some of your old drinking buddies, and some may decide to join you. But if they don’t, you will have made new friends who have also made positive changes in their lives – and that’s not a bad consolation prize. Dear Abby: Please tell me your position on this. Are adult children supposed to take an aging mother with them on vacation? If not, what is a gentle way to say no when the parent invites herself? Please help us. – Unsure in Ohio Dear Unsure: I think it depends upon the relationship between the mother and “child.” It also depends upon the purpose of the vacation. If a couple is going away to relax and bond more closely with each other, they do not need a third wheel – regardless of how much they might love her. And the way to say that is, “We need some alone time, Mom. Please understand.” DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

ear Abby: I am a 58-year-old woman who has just been dumped by my 55-year-old boyfriend for a younger woman. She is 18, and if that isn’t bad enough – she’s my daughter. They are now living together. For more than a year we functioned as a family. We had regular game nights and took a family vacation together. Because of their betrayal, I have lost my daughter and my boyfriend, the two people I thought were also my best friends, and my family all at the same time. I don’t know anyone who has had this happen to them, but unfortunately there must be some out there. How do I go on? How do I maintain a relationship with my daughter when she is living with my exboyfriend? How do I accept what has happened without approving of it? There is so much wrong with this I’m at a loss for rules or tools to handle it. – In Crushing Pain in Oregon

It’s important to give wisely A
ndrew Carnegie once said, “Those who would administer wisely must, indeed, be wise, for one of the serious obstacles to the improvement of our race is indiscriminate charity.” These are singularly significant words of wisdom for anyone who wants to be a discerning philanthropist. So, how do you decide what to give your money to? Consider the following as you make your giving decisions: First and foremost, find your passion; is it educating young children? Providing for the homeless? Or, maybe funding college scholarships? Whatever you choose, the first thing you must introduce to your giving strategy is the discipline of focus. The most common mistake made by new givers is a tendency to spread the money around in too many places, which ultimately dilutes impact. When you begin planning your charitable strategy, the most intimidating challenge you will immediately run up against is the sheer magnitude of need. Due diligence is key, as there are nonprofit organizations that are not run efficiently, duplicate services or simply do not have a strong enough infrastructure/leadership to survive long term. Approach your giving in the same manner you invest in the market; expect results and find an
accurate means to evaluate success. Here are suggestions: Checkout GIVING 101 the Web site www. Paul guidestar. Lessard org, which ■■■ evaluates and ranks nonprofit organizations. Contact the nonprofit and ask about its 501(c)3 status, its board of trustees, and find out if it has an annual audit. Finally, call the High Point Community Foundation, which keeps background materials on all local nonprofits. We always encourage our donors to get personally involved with organizations they support. You learn more by actually investing your time and leadership. Serve on a board of trustees, a grants committee or an investment committee to gain insight into how your funds are being used. Philanthropy should involve not only your checkbook, but also your heart and your brain. Take the time to develop your own philanthropic vision and then pursue it with discipline, creativity and passion. PAUL LESSARD, a recipient of the Carnegie Hero Medal and a catalyst for the growth of community outreach programs, is president of the High Point Community Foundation, phone 882-3298.

Judge: S.C. school can ban Confederate garb
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – A South Carolina teen who sued a school district over the right to wear Confederate-themed clothing to school will appeal a ruling that sides with the district, her attorney said Wednesday. “This is an immanently appealable decision,” said Kirk Lyons, an attorney for the Southern Legal Resource Center based in North Carolina. “I think we can get this reversed in the Fourth Circuit.” In 2006, Lyons’ group filed a federal lawsuit against the Latta School District on behalf of Candice Hardwick, then a 15-year-old high school sophomore. Hardwick’s attorneys argued that the teen – who was forced to change clothes, turn shirts insideout and was suspended twice for Confederatethemed clothing in middle school – felt that a ban on wearing the Confederate emblem violated her right to free speech. That notion was tossed out last week by a federal judge, who ruled that Hardwick’s attorneys didn’t have enough evidence to succeed with their case. In his 33-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Terry
GARNER (AP) — A snack food manufacturer has announced it will lay off 300 employees at its North Carolina plant in November in light of costs associated with a deadly explosion. ConAgra Foods announced Wednesday afternoon that the layoffs at the Garner facility are a direct result of the expenses incurred after a June 9 explosion which killed three workers and injured dozens. Damage to the building reduced production of SlimJim snacks by about 50 percent. ConAgra’s Garner plant employs 750 workers. Company officials also told employees at a meeting Wednesday afternoon that they would no longer provide guaranteed 40hour weekly paychecks, which was ordered after the explosion.

Candice Michele Hardwick (center) and her parents, Daryl and Priscilla, hold up some of the T-shirts that the Latta school officials deemed were disruptive in Florence, S.C. Wooten wrote that district officials, fearing possible disruptions if Confederatethemed clothing were allowed in the racially diverse schools, acted reasonably in banning such items. “The defendants possessed substantial facts which reasonably supported a forecast that Confederate flag clothing would likely disrupt the educational environment of the schools within the Latta School District,” Wooten wrote. Lyons’ group had argued
that a 2002 decision from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals involving a Kentucky high school student is central to Hardwick’s situation. In 1997, Madison Central High School student Timothy Castorina sued after he was suspended for wearing a T-shirt with a Confederate flag. A federal judge tossed out the case, saying T-shirts aren’t a form of free speech, but an appeals court overturned that decision, and the school settled.
Hardwick’s family has said the teen’s desire to show Confederate pride by sporting T-shirts, belt buckles and cell phone covers bearing the red flag crisscrossed with blue stripes and white stars is a family thing. When Hardwick kicked off the last week of school in May 2006 by staging a protest march into the high school, her father said two of his great-great grandfathers had been Confederate veterans.

Cluster headache provokes horrendous pain Dear Dr. Donohue: My son has three or four cluster headaches a day. His insurance allows him only nine pills a month to control these horrible headaches. He uses Imitrex, and there is now a generic form of the drug, but it still has a high price. He does not have the income to pay such prices. Will there ever be a cure for this headache? – R.
BLONDIE
One thing about my life that makes me happy is that I don’t suffer from cluster headaches. The pain of this sort of headache raises it to the level of torture. A cluster headache is a one-sided headache, usually felt behind the eye. On that same side, the eye turns red, and tears flow from it. The nostril on that side often drips. It’s mostly a male thing. For every woman who has cluster headaches, there are five men who have them. These headaches got their name because they come in clusters, a few to many times each day, and in clusters of days to weeks for months at a time. They go away, but they always return. Unlike migraine headaches, which drive people to lie down in a quiet, dark room, cluster headaches provoke people to pace about in a frenzy. Medicines exist both for terminating the headaches and for preventing them. Imitrex (sumatriptan)

is one. It comes in a self-injectable form, which provides quick action. Your son might find HEALTH renting an oxygen Dr. Paul tank more Donohue economi■■■ cal. Breathing oxygen through a face mask can often put an end to the headache. Perhaps his insurance will cover the cost. Lidocaine nose drops also work, and they aren’t costly. Your son needs to concentrate on preventive medicines, taken when the headache has gone. Verapamil is a generic medicine whose price is modest, and it can stop the clusters of these headaches. So can prednisone. Two other preventive medicines are lithium and topiramate. Dear Dr. Donohue: Is there some way to improve the sex drive? I am a 56-year-old man whose doctor reports that my testosterone levels are good, yet I do not have a sex drive. He has given me Viagra and Cialis, but they don’t help. I find it difficult to have an erection. Does my age have anything to do with this? – J.S. Nerves, hormones, blood vessels and libido (the innate desire for relations) are interwoven to produce a suc-
cessful sexual response. If the problem is a loss of interest, then the approach should be finding what’s causing it. Psychological problems like depression are often responsible. If the problem is a physical one, like the blockage of blood flow to the penis or nerve damage to that organ, then the medicines you mention can be helpful. If they are not, mechanical devices like an implantable penile prosthesis are a consideration, as are vacuum pumps. It sounds like your problem is one of disinterest. Your family doctor can suggest a specialist who can explore this with you. Age is a factor in many physical problems that lead to erectile dysfunction. If your general health is good, it shouldn’t be a contributing cause. Dear Dr. Donohue: I sleep with my head covered up. My husband says it is not good for me. Is that true? – C.P. What do you mean by “head covered up”? If you put something over your head and face, I don’t think that’s a particularly good idea. It would interfere with breathing. If you cover only your hair, that won’t hurt you. Why do you do this?
DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will try to incorporate them in his column. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU
CHAPEL HILL – Former Durham Riverside standout Lowell Dyer is one of two offensive starters North Carolina will be without for at least the next three to four weeks as they recover from injuries, the school announced Wednesday. Dyer, a fifth-year senior center, strained a muscle in his right shoulder during practice last week, and Zack Pianalto dislocated the subtalar joint in his right foot while celebrating a touchdown in Saturday’s win over Connecticut. Both players will be reevaluated and their status updated after the three- to four-week period. The Tar Heels have been without starting wide receiver Dwight Jones in the first two games because of an injury and were missing two players against UConn because of swine flu. “It’s been a little bit of a challenge, to say the least, over the last couple of weeks,” UNC coach Butch Davis said.
Dyer didn’t make the trip to Connecticut, and sophomore Cam Holland started in his place. Holland is slated to start against East Carolina on Saturday (noon, ESPN2) and said he’s feeling more comfortable with the line this week. A week ago, Holland had just one day of practice with the starting unit before the UConn game, but this week he will be able to prepare with four solid practices. “I’m feeling pretty good about this week’s game,” Holland said. “Last week was my first collegiate start, so now that I have a game under my belt, I have a lot more confidence.” Davis said starting right guard Alan Pelc and left guard Jonathan Cooper will be the backups at center. Pelc played one series at center against the Huskies when Holland lost his shoe, and Davis said Cooper has played center in the past. Cooper is back at practice this week after an ankle injury prevented him from playing in the UConn game. Pianalto will be a big target to replace as he had been emerging as quarterback T.J. Yates’ favorite receiver.

Mike Sellers’ offseason boycott eventually paid off, helping the Washington Redskins fullback land a contract extension. The Pro Bowl fullback confirmed Wednesday he had finally swayed owner Dan Snyder to offer a new deal. Its total value is about $6.9 million over the next six years, but the final two years are voided automatically if Sellers is still on the roster after the 2012 season. Essentially it is a four-year deal with $1 million guaranteed: a $600,000 signing bonus and a $400,000 option bonus next year. “I was complaining about not getting enough money during the season,” said Sellers, who had two years remaining on his previous deal. “Now it’s time to go play.” Sellers stayed away from offseason workouts to voice his displeasure.

t’s far too early to label Sunday’s trip to Atlanta a “must-win” game for the Carolina Panthers. But now is the time for the Panthers to play far better if they hope to enjoy a successful season. Carolina needs to study the game film from Sunday’s 38-10 embarrassment against Philadelphia, learn from it, then burn it. The Panthers committed seven turnovers, allowed touchdowns on offense, defense and special teams and left the stadium with a start-
ing quarterback on the brink of a breakdown. Jake Delhomme has to regain solid footing against the Falcons and show that his last two performances – awful as they were – will not be repeated. Another dismal effort could cost Jake his job – and the Panthers their season. The Panthers play in a fairly tough NFC South. Atlanta (1-0) has all the pieces in place for a deep playoff run, while New Orleans (10) showcases quarterback Drew Brees, who is coming off a six-touchdown effort against
Detroit and has been one of the NFL’s elite QBs the last two seasons. And while Tampa Bay struggled in a 34-21 loss to Dallas, the Bucs remain a potential playoff threat. The future is now for Carolina. The Panthers need a win over the Falcons, or at least a strong performance in a loss, to right the ship. Otherwise, the 2009 Panthers may sink to the bottom of the NFL in a hurry.

Rives race offers many benefits BY MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR
HIGH POINT – It figures to be quite a memorable week for Olivia Rives Kiefer. Kiefer will be busy this week as a runner and race steering committee chairman for Saturday’s Warren Rives 5K Run/Walk and Fun Run. The race is named in memory of Kiefer’s dad, a High Point Regional Health System board member who died of a heart attack at age 41. But before the running could begin,
the Rives clan welcomed a new member late Sunday night. Warren Jackson Rives IV was born to Olivia’s brother, Jackson Rives, and sister-in-law, Beth. “The baby was actually due on race day,� Kiefer said. “There were lots of happy tears when he arrived.� The 23rd annual Warren Rives 5K Run/Walk and Fun Run arrives Saturday at High Point Regional Hospital. The one-mile fun run starts at 8 a.m. with the 5K beginning at 8:30 a.m. Entry fee is $25 per person for the 5K, while the fee for the fun run is $5.
Race-day festivities include heart healthy food, music and prizes with Tshirts guaranteed for the first 350 5K entries. All proceeds benefit the Heart Strides Scholarship Fund. This marks the third year Kiefer has served as race steering committee chairman, but this will be the first year that she will run the full 5K. “I’ve taken part the past three years, but this is the first year I’ll be running with no stopping,� Kiefer said. “It’s a culmination of a couple of years of running to reach this point.�

Only driver to win championships under old format of counting points throughout the season and the Chase. Stewart, helped by support from Hendrick, became one of the biggest stories of the year by making a winner out of the previously mediocre Haas-CNC team. He went on his usual summer hot streak but has encountered trouble in recent weeks, not the sort of momentum needed going into the playoffs.

One of the preseason favorites to win championship after closing with a rush to win nine races last season but is still winless this season in a general slippage for all the Roush teams.
GREG BIFFLE

Top 5s: 29 Top 10s: 40 Average finish: 17.6 Starts: 116 Predicted finish in the Chase: 10th. Winless and hopes to duplicate last year when he came into the Chase winless and won first two races of the playoff. Like Edwards, hurt by drop in Roush performance.
RYAN NEWMAN
–--
Chase seeding: 10th Team: Stewart-Haas Racing Car number: 39 Type of car: Chevrolet Victories at tracks in the Chase: 7 Top 5s: 35 Top 10s: 53 Average finish: 17.9 Number of starts: 131 Predicted finish in the Chase: 11th.

Road-course ace but no road courses in the Chase. – COMPILED BY GREER SMITH
oing to a good school can pay big dividends in the long run. Just ask Antron Brown. In just his second season after leaving the Pro Stock Motorcycle ranks, the 33-yar-old native of New Jersey is leading NHRA Top Fuel standings heading into this weekend’s event at SPORTS Lowe’s Motor Greer SpeedSmith way’s ■■■ dragway. The meet is the first race in the six-race “Countdown to 1” that will determine the champions in the four professional divisions of the Full Throttle series and is the straight line set’s equalvent to NASCAR’s championship chase. Brown gives credit to his current team, now owned by former Funny Car driver Mike Ashley after an offseason switch. He also gives credit to his rapid ascent to learning some very valuable lessons while racing motorcycles for Don Schumacher Racing – the Yale, Harvard and Princeton of the Top Fuel ranks. The lessons included Winning Championships 101. During his time at DSR from 2004-2007, Brown saw up close what it took for Tony Schumacher to win the first four championships in a run that grew to five in a row last season. “I saw the passion that Tony had for the sport, and I saw what his team did,” Brown said. “I saw the winning formula, and the winning formula is when you get all those guys to jell and they work as one, as one tight unit.” Brown was never able to take that formula and win a motorcycle championship for DSR before he left when the opportunity came to drive a Top Fuel car last season. He went to a drag racing school and made the transition to the highpowered cars, winning in his fourth start to become the first driver to win the motorcycle and Top Fuel classes. The change wasn’t as easy as it looked. “I had a little edge because when I worked at DSR, I was around the fuel cars a lot, and I saw how they operate and how they worked on them,” Brown said. “I was familiar with them a little bit before I actually got into one. “But you don’t know what a Top Fuel car is like until you get into one. And I was just lucky, where I got with the right team, and you need to get with the right crew and crew

You can’t think about what you want to do. You have to do it. That’s what really helped me in the transition, just you know, racing all the years of Pro Stock Motorcycle. But when I got in the Top Fuel car, it was like learning all over again.” Brown was taken aback when his team went through two ownership changes in the offseason. When it was all over and former DSR employees were hired as crew chief and engine builder, Brown was more at ease. “Once we got testing and I saw really all of our crew guys jelled with our new crew guys ... then I knew that we had that dynamite team,” Brown said. It packed enough power to enable Brown to win a series-leading five victories, one more than Schumacher and Larry Dixon, and to reach the finals eight times. The power has put Brown in position again to become the first African-American to win the championship of a major racing series in the U.S. “One thing that drag racing brings out in all of us is that we are seen for who we are and the skills we have. If I can encourage some innercity kids and some of my cousins and nephews and nieces, that’s awesome. I want them to fulfill the dreams in their lives because I love the career that I’m in.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Eagles’ Kolb prepares for possible first start AP
Duke backup quarterback Sean Renfree throws a third-quarter touchdown pass against Army during Saturday’s game in West Point, N.Y. The Blue Devils won, 35-19.
All signs point to Renfree helping Blue Devils BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU
DURHAM – Less than two months before national signing day for his high school class, Sean Renfree hadn’t even had a passing thought about the possibility of playing quarterback at Duke. About an hour after David Cutcliffe became the Blue Devils’ head coach, Renfree couldn’t stop thinking about the possibility. “The first time I talked to him on the phone, I was like, ‘Wow; I didn’t ever think I would consider Duke, but I almost want to go to Duke like right now,’” Renfree said. “He’s just such a convincing guy, and he’s so confident that it just made me confident.” Literally moments after being named Duke’s coach in December 2007, Cutcliffe offered a scholarship to the highly touted quarterback out of Notre Dame Prep in Scottsdale, Ariz. Less than a month later – about a week after Cutcliffe relocated to Durham following his bowl duties as offensive coordinator at Tennessee – Renfree visited Duke. A couple of weeks after that and just a week before signing day, Renfree committed to Duke over Boise State,
Arizona State and Nebraska. On Saturday, Duke fans got their first chance to see why Cutcliffe made Renfree such an immediate priority. Taking over for three-year starter Thad Lewis midway through the third quarter, Renfree helped Duke bouuce back from a 10-7 deficit in his college debut for a 35-19 victory at Army. Renfree again will back up Lewis when the Blue Devils visit No. 22 Kansas on Saturday (noon, Versus). But unlike Duke’s first two games, there’s no doubt that Renfree will get some snaps against the Jayhawks. “You can see now why I had been saying all long that regardless of [Lewis’] play, I wanted Sean Renfree to immediately play,” Cutcliffe said. “I liked his poise. I thought he was very smooth.” Renfree, the No. 10ranked quarterback in his recruiting class according to Scout.com, never intended to make such a late decision on his destination. Renfree committed to Georgia Tech in July 2007, but when the Yellow Jackets parted ways with Coach Chan Gailey after the season and hired runfirst Coach Paul Johnson, Renfree re-opened his recruiting. Renfree had met Cut-
cliffe at Tennessee’s football camp, but the Volunteers never offered him a scholarship. “When he called me, it kind of came as a surprise,” Renfree said. “I hadn’t heard from him in a while. I had a really good list of schools to choose from, and I liked all of those coaches, but I found Duke to be the best place for me. “The opportunity to play and the education – it had all the things I was looking for.” And Renfree, who threw for 25 touchdowns against just five interceptions as a high school senior, appears to have what Cutcliffe and the Blue Devils are looking for. “Obviously, he’s going to play a lot this year – that’s what Coach told me he intended to do early on,” Lewis said. “That’s my teammate, so I wanted to see him shine. “I want to see that out of Sean, just to let Blue Devil nation know that once I’m done here, the Blue Devils still have a bright future with Sean Renfree.” Renfree is approaching things as if the future is now. He said that thanks to his redshirt year, he knows the playbook “inside out,” and now it’s just a matter of getting game experience and consistently performing when it counts.”
Miami aims to solve Georgia Tech hex
MIAMI (AP) – National championship possibilities in 2005. A four-game winning streak in 2006. Hopes of returning to the Top 25 in 2007. An opportunity to clinch a trip to the Atlantic Coast Conference title game in 2008. Miami had them. Georgia Tech wrecked them. No team has been a bigger thorn in the
Hurricanes’ side in recent years than the Yellow Jackets, who’ve won four straight in the series, including a 41-23, it-wasn’t-that-close romp a year ago. The 20th-ranked Hurricanes (1-0, 10) get another chance to atone tonight, when the 14th-ranked Jackets (2-0, 10) visit in Miami’s home opener and a game that will loom vital to both.
Tar Heels, Tigers to meet in 2010 opener
BATON ROUGE, La. to open the 2010 season. The game will be played (AP) – LSU and North Carolina will meet in the Sept. 4 in Atlanta’s GeorChick-fil-A Kickoff Game gia Dome (ESPN). It will
be the first meeting between the schools since 1986, with LSU taking five of six in the series.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Donovan McNabb was a causal bystander at Eagles practice. Wearing black sweat pants, an Eagles cap, and his red No. 5 jersey, McNabb looked more like an Eagles fan on a football Sunday than their starting quarterback. Unlike those Philly die-hards, McNabb hopes to be playing instead of watching against New Orleans. McNabb, who has a cracked rib, could not practice on Wednesday and likely won’t all week. So third-year reserve Kevin Kolb took snaps with the first-team offense in preparation for possibly the first start of his NFL career. Coach Andy Reid made it clear on Wednesday: Kolb is the starter if McNabb can’t play. “I think between myself and the coaches and the players, we all have a lot of confidence that he’ll go out, given the chance, and perform very, very well,” Reid said. That means former Pro Bowl QB Jeff
Garcia is simply here as insurance – for now. Kolb hasn’t impressed anyone in his limited playing time over the last three seasons. He is 24 for 45 for 167 yards, no touchdowns and four interceptions in eight career games. He was 7 for 11 for 23 yards and sacked twice once he took over for the injured McNabb in a win against Carolina. “I’ve gotten opportunities and haven’t done the best job with them,” Kolb said. “No excuses.” That’s a small sample size to determine whether Kolb can handle the responsibilities of the No. 1 job if McNabb is out Sunday and beyond. The unknown is what makes Eagles fans jittery entering Sunday. Kolb may start the game, but there are no guarantees he’ll be around for the finish. Kolb, a second-round pick in 2007, has been waiting for this moment since draft day. “You get to run the huddle the way you want to,” Kolb said.
Nevada judge won’t move Roethlisberger case CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) – A Nevada judge on Wednesday denied a motion to move the civil sexual assault case against Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Lake Tahoe casino employees from Reno to Douglas County, where the alleged incident occurred. Washoe District Judge Brent Adams in Reno ruled that one of the named defendants, Harrah’s Lake Tahoe executive Dave Monroe, has residences in both Douglas and Washoe counties
Panthers’ Stewart misses practice CHARLOTTE (AP) – Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart is back on the injury report with nagging pain in his left Achilles’ tendon. Stewart missed practice Wednesday, although coach John Fox says it wasn’t a setback. Stewart missed most of training camp with the injury before returning to split carries with DeAngelo Williams in Sunday’s loss to Philadelphia. Safety Chris Harris did not practice Wednesday after missing the Eagles game with a sore knee. Defensive tackle Nick Hayden (toe) and cornerback Sherrod Martin (knee) also did not work out.
and therefore Washoe County is a proper venue for the case to be heard. Adams added, “There’s no reason to believe an impartial jury cannot be found in Washoe County, or that the interest of justice would be prompted by change of venue.” The woman, a 31-yearold Harrah’s VIP hostess, has accused the twotime Super Bowl winner of raping her in his penthouse suite in July 2008, when Roethlisberger was at Lake Tahoe for a celebrity golf tournament. The Associated Press, as
a matter of policy, does not identify people who say they have been sexually assaulted. The suit alleges eight former or current Harrah’s employees, including Monroe, Harrah’s President John Koster and security chief Guy Hyder, orchestrated a cover-up of the incident. Her suit seeks a minimum of $440,000 in damages from Roethlisberger, at least $50,000 in damages from the Harrah’s officials and an unspecified amount of punitive damages.

NEW YORK (AP) – Investors barreled into stocks Wednesday after an upbeat report on industrial production raised hopes that the economy is strengthening. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 108 points to another high for the year as General Electric Co. and International Business Machines Corp. jumped. It was the market’s eighth gain in nine days. The promising report from the Federal Reserve on industrial production came a day after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said that the recession was likely over. Investors have been scooping up stocks for six months in anticipation of a rebound in the economy. The central bank’s report that industrial activity surged 0.8 percent in August topped expectations. The Fed also said the improve-

ment in industrial production for July was twice what it had initially reported. The industrial report and rising commodity prices lifted shares of manufacturing companies like aluminum producer Alcoa Inc. According to preliminary calculations, the Dow rose 108.30, or 1.1 percent, to 9,791.71, its highest close since Oct. 6, when it ended at 9,956. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 16.13, or 1.5 percent, to 1,068.76, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 30.51, or 1.5 percent, to 2,133.15. Many analysts are encouraged by the market’s climb but say it can’t continue without a few drops arriving too. The S&P 500 index, the benchmark for many mutual funds, has jumped 55.6 percent since it hit a 12-year low in early March.

Hagan, Burr sponsor resolution honoring market’s anniversary
HIGH POINT – The High Point Market is getting some bipartisan recognition on Capitol Hill. U.S. Sens. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., and Richard Burr, R-N.C., introduced a resolution honoring the 100th anniversary of the High Point Furniture Market, one of the world’s premier industry trade shows. “The High Point Furniture Market has gained a worldwide reputation as the premier place to experience the newest ideas in home furnishings,” the resolution reads. “North Carolina has a great history in home furnishings, and the centennial anniversary of the High Point Furniture Market demonstrates North Carolina’s great success story in the industry,” Hagan

said. “I represented High Point during my first two terms in the state Senate, and since then, I have remained an ardent proponent of the Market. “In its 100 years, the Market has become a 12 million-square-foot international attraction that welcomes more than 160,000 people from 110 countries. I am committed to ensuring that it remains the county’s premier furniture marketplace into the future and will advocate in the U.S. Senate for its continued success.” A 2007 High Point University study estimated the economic impact of the furniture industry in North Carolina is $8.25 billion annually, of which the market contributes $1.2 billion each year and employs 13,516 people. In April,
Hagan spoke at the 100th anniversary opening ceremony. “In the 100 years since the very first home furnishings market took place in High Point, N.C., in 1909, the High Point Market has grown into the nation’s undisputed home furnishings market with more new product premieres than any other each and every season, year after year,” said Brian Casey, president and chief executive officer of the High Point Market Authority. “We are proud to be recognized by Sen. Hagan and the U.S. Senate with this honor, and we will continue to work diligently to expand and improve the Market, further cementing our position as the home furnishings industry’s most important domestic and international event.”

Fed tightens review of commercial loan risk WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve is stepping up its scrutiny of commercial real estate loans at smaller banks, where delinquency rates have risen sharply. Instead of reviewing individual banks, Fed examiners are comparing results across the industry to better assess broader risks, a Fed official said Wednesday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive and confidential nature of bank reviews. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

FDIC picks winning bid for toxic assets
Cuomo subpoenas 5 Bank of America board members
NEW YORK (AP) – The New York Attorney General’s office subpoenaed five members of Bank of America Corp.’s board Wednesday as part of an investigation into its acquisition of troubled investment bank Merrill Lynch & Co., according to a person familiar with the investigation. The directors are expected to be questioned about what they knew regarding the mounting losses and bonus payments at Merrill before the deal closed on Jan. 1
and what role they played in deciding whether to disclose that information to shareholders, said the person, who asked for anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo’s office is also likely to ask about any threats made by federal regulators to remove board members if the deal wasn’t completed, as Bank of America executives have said. It wasn’t immediately clear which directors received the subpoenas.
Homebuilder sentiment index rises
LOS ANGELES (AP) – The National Association of Home Builders said Wednesday its housing market index rose in September for the third month in a row, reflecting growing optimism in the industry about rising home sales. The Washington-based trade association said its index rose one point to 19, its highest reading since it hit 20 in April last year. Index readings below 50 indicate negative sentiment about the market. The last time it was above 50 was in April 2006. The latest NAHB index
reflects a survey of 533 residential developers nationwide. The reading for current sales conditions rose two points to 18. Traffic by prospective buyers rose one point to 17. The sales expectations index over the next six months fell one point to 29. The homebulders’ stocks jumped Wednesday afternoon following the release of the report. Shares of Beazer Homes USA Inc., and Hovnanian Enterprises Inc., were each up about 10 percent to lead the sector, while Lennar Corp.’s shares rose about 6 percent.

New Escape SUVs roll off the line at Ford’s Kansas City Assembly Plant in August.
Industrial output beats August forecast WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. factories made more cars, clothing and other goods than expected in August, and inflation remained in check in the early stages of a broad economic recovery. The Federal Reserve said Wednesday that output at the nation’s factories, mines and utilities rose 0.8 percent in August. Economists surveyed by Thom-
DILBERT
son Reuters expected a 0.6 percent increase. Last month’s gain marked the second straight increase after the global recession dried up the appetites of customers worldwide. “The back to back gains in industrial production provide further evidence the recession ended around July,” Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank,
wrote in a note to clients. Meanwhile, the Labor Department reported that the so-called “core” Consumer Price Index, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 1.4 percent over the 12 months ending in August. That is well within the Fed’s comfort zone and means the central bank faces little pressure to raise its benchmark interest rate.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. on Wednesday named the first winning bidder under a test of the government’s program to back private purchases of toxic mortgage assets and get them off banks’ balance sheets. Fort Worth, Texasbased Residential Credit Solutions Inc. is paying $64.2 million for a 50 percent stake in a new company that will have about $1.3 billion in home mortgages from the failed Franklin Bank. The FDIC took over Houston-based Franklin Bank in November. Under the test sale to RCS, the new company will issue a note for $727.8 million to the FDIC. Twelve groups of companies had bid on the assets, the agency said. The program is part of the government’s publicprivate partnership to guarantee private investors’ purchases of toxic assets to help banks raise new capital, get credit flowing and aid the economic recovery. The sale is part of the government’s so-called Public-Private Investment Program, announced in March by the FDIC, Treasury Department and Federal Reserve as one of the financial recovery measures.

NEW YORK (AP) – An unrelenting sorrow swirls through “Aftermath,” a collection of remembrances by people without a country. Actually, they have a country – Iraq – but all have fled to Jordan since the American arrival in 2003. Their stories have been collected by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen who interviewed more than three dozen refugees before winnowing down the stories into a heartbreaking evening of theater. The result, which opened Tuesday at offBroadway’s New York Theatre Workshop, is a docudrama of the highest order, one that personalizes and puts into perspective the staggering human cost of the last six years in Iraq. In a brisk 85 minutes, Blank and Jensen present a scrapbook of lives interrupted and forever changed. The structure is fluid, with an ingratiating translator, played by Fajer Al-Kaisi, giving a reportorial veneer to the production. He introduces the people to the audience and then, more or less, gets out of the way. The man lets them speak quietly, almost matter-of-factly of their journeys to freedom and uncertainty.

‘As I worked on it over the years, I wanted to get that element of, anything’s possible. I went to a Cirque (du Soleil) show and thought maybe there was a way to get that into the plays.’ Steve Umberger Director Shakespeare Festival that opens with a preview Saturday night at the High Point Theatre. Throughout the years, Umberger has come to believe that a production should focus on the fun and simplicity of the story told in the most physical manner possible. The fairies in the story, not bound by the physics of traditional human movement, allow him to translate what’s in his head onto the stage. “As I worked on it over the years, I wanted to get that element of, anything’s possible,” he said. “I went to a Cirque (du Soleil) show and thought maybe there was a way to get that into the plays.”

Director Steve Umberger talks about his production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” He has directed the play seven times, including the production by the N.C. Shakespeare Festival that opens with a preview Saturday. By chance, Umberger met Cirque performer Karl Baumann at a Starbuck’s in Charlotte, where Umberber lives and Baumann was touring with Cirque. They have since worked together on “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” four times, including a production for the Shakespeare Festival in 2003. “The more we’ve done it, the more physical it’s become,” Umberger said. Baumann, who performs with Cirque (currently in the production “Ka” in Las Vegas) and teaches character and movement classes for the company, plays the mischievous fairy Puck. For the High Point production, he dangles from and plays among five pieces of silk-like material called “aerial fabric” that are suspended from the heights of the theater stage. Baumann, in turn, taught six other actors in the company to perform on the fabric, so

Even those actors who don’t perform on the silks are engaged in highly physical antics, and some were chosen for their acrobatic skills. “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” opens in the world of humans, where two couples are in love, but not necessarily in tidy pairs or to suit a father’s wishes. They retreat to the forest world of the fairies, where belief can easily be suspended and where love potions are applied and botched, spells are cast and lovers eventually are paired as they should be. Music initially is Elizabethan in style but becomes more contemporary and ethereal in the forest. “Not every play is magical, but this one is,” Umberger said. “It’s magical to work on as well as see.” The core of the play is the nature of partnerships and the need – whether human or fairy – to love and be loved. The common element of love grounds the foolishness, he said. Because of budget constraints, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is the only play the Shakespeare Festival will perform in its main stage season this year. “One play does not a season make, but ‘Midsummer’ comes close,” Umberger said. “Doing just one play allows us to concentrate. ‘Midsummer’ has language, romance, comedy and physical comedy. “It’s no tragedy, but as Shakespeare plays go, this is as good as it gets with comedy.” vknopfler@hpe.com | 888-3601

Thursday, Sept. 17, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Wade Robson, 27; Mark Brunell, 39; Kyle Chandler, 44; Cassandra Peterson, 58 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: This is a good time to make crucial moves that can save you time and money or to invest in something too good to pass up. Either way, you stand to come out on top and with extra cash in your pocket. Don’t be afraid to act fast. Put your insight and practical outlook to good use. Your numbers are 4, 11, 17, 26, 28, 38, 45 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Reevaluate your situation and consider where your priorities should be. Do things that will utilize your talents to the fullest. A new spin to something you’ve done in the past will revitalize its potential. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ve got more going for you than you realize. You have added discipline and the know-how to turn something mediocre into something spectacular. Don’t be shy when you are so close to getting what you want. ★★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Know exactly what you are talking about and have the facts to back your allegations. Someone looking for any little mistake will put what you claim under a microscope. As long as you know your stuff and you are confident, you have nothing to worry about. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ve got plenty to offer so don’t sell yourself short. Hard bargaining will bring you success and help you accomplish the alterations you want to make both personally and professionally. Don’t back down. ★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your mind may be on other things but it’s important that you think about your past, present and future financial and professional dealings. Use your experience to avoid making a common but costly mistake. A trip will pay off. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll be emotional about your life and your future. Cover up your concerns for now and deal with whatever needs tending to. Your performance and sense of responsibility will help you win in the end. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Put a little added pressure on someone who owes you a favor and you will be able to meet any demand being put on you. Showing your true feelings will not help you get what you want. Keep your thoughts to yourself for now. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Trust in your own talent and ability. Focus on the doable and you will accomplish the most. Process and put into play what you already have to offer and you will be positioned for the future. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be caught if you try to get away with something. No matter how inconsequential, it is not a good time to take a risk. It’s as if you are under a microscope and everyone is watching and waiting to see what you’ll do next. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Turn on the charm and go after exactly what you want. You will not be denied and the options made available will allow you to do even more with what you receive. A financial windfall can change your life. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): As soon as you take on too great a task, pay too much or make a promise you cannot keep, you will face opposition and complaints. A love interest may lead you on or withhold information that could affect the way you feel or a commitment you made. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t be tricked by someone playing emotional games. Ask direct questions and don’t settle for evasive answers. Dig deep to determine what’s the best route to take in terms of partnerships and professional proposals. ★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
Cy the Cynic observes, with great sagacity, that when you must make a choice, you should always consider your options. West’s “Michaels” cue bid of two clubs conventionally promised length in both major suits. When West led a heart against 3NT and East played the queen, declarer had a crucial decision, though he seemed not to realize it. He promptly played low. East returned a heart, and South won and led a diamond. West rose with the ace and led the jack of hearts. South won but had only eight tricks. Eventually, he led a spade, and West won and cashed two hearts. Down one.
ENTRIES
South must consider his options at Trick One. He is at risk if West has five hearts plus two entries, but if West’s hearts were J-10-9-4-3, he’d have led the jack. So South must win the first heart to block the suit. South then leads a diamond. If West wins and leads another heart to East’s nine, South ducks. East must shift, and South can force out the ace of spades for 10 tricks.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S Q 10 2 H 6 2 D K Q J 10 C A Q 4 3. You are the dealer. What is your opening bid? ANSWER: A panel of experts would be divided. Though opening one diamond may work well if the auction turns competitive, I generally recommend opening one club with this pattern. If partner responds one heart, bid 1NT next; if one spade, raise to two spades. But since the diamonds in this hand are so chunky, I’d readily accept a bid of one diamond. South dealer N-S vulnerable
ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.
