‘Miracle’ worker is chosen Citizen of the Year 2009 WILLIAM E. PRICE JR.

-–

BY TOM BLOUNT EDITOR

HIGH POINT – What’s a typical morning like for a High Point businessman who has been selected The High Point Enterprise Citizen of the Year for 2009? • A 11⁄2-hour meeting to get the necessary amount of money and other things together to send a youth football team to a tournament in Florida. • Spending much of another hour participating in a focus group discussing the real estate situation in High Point. • Heading off to a school in High Point for another hour of visiting with students. You don’t have to observe Ed Price for long before you begin to wonder into which he has put most of his energy and resources – his vocation since 1973 or his avocation since he was an early teenager. That’s because most of Price’s waking hours are split between helping others, especially young people, and running a highly successful local real estate “conglomerate.” “Ed Price has an enormous capacity for caring,” William A. “Bill” Horney, 1984 HPE Citizen of the Year declared. “He is fun to work with – sometimes unpredictable – but that is Ed. He is a great human being who makes things happen. I love him.” David S. Miller, 1997 CofY, praises Price for “his commitment to helping the oppressed, especially children who are dealing with challenging personal issues. He has helped countless kids to participate in athletic and school-related activities by the generous gifts of his time and resources.” Tonia Stephenson, executive director, Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club, points out that Price “came to the advisory board through Ray McAllister with so much energy, enthusiasm and passion for helping kids.” When she told Price the club was trying to rebuild its baseball program, Stephenson says, he “took the leadership role to secure a grant from the High Point

MIRACLE, 2A

Max Meeks to sign off one last time BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Max Meeks said he wanted to take part in a New Year’s Day tradition one more time before ending his legendary 52-year career in radio. Meeks initially decided to retire at the end of 2009, but later reconsidered, opting to rise at 3:30 a.m. one last time to break a bit of news to his listeners – the winner of The High Point Enterprise Citizen of the Year. “One of the things I’ve always enjoyed doing on New Year’s Day is being able to announce Citizen of the Year, so I called my boss

back and said, ‘I’d like to work one more day,’ ” Meeks said. He got his wish today, signing off from his “Max in the Morning” radio Meeks show on WMFR-AM in High Point for the final time. Meeks, 84, started at the station in 1947 and has been there for most of the intervening years, save for a stint in the furniture business in the 1950s and 1960s. Meeks said his 5:30 to 9 a.m. show “basically hasn’t changed in all that time. It’s been pretty much the same thing.” His listeners

came to appreciate staples of the program like the daily birthday announcements and the hymn of the day. Guests also were a regular feature. “We usually have someone just about every morning,” Meeks said. He brought on members of the medical profession to discuss items of interest in health and well being. The first and third Thursdays of the month included a regular feature by the Roy B. Culler Jr. Senior Center in High Point on topics of interest to older residents. The High Point Area Arts Council also was featured in a monthly segment on the show. The program was a throwback in

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

a day and age when radio has become dominated by shock jocks and political talk shows. Meeks said he enjoyed the contact radio gave him with people, the support of good causes and “having a unique communication with my listeners.” “I think the main thing is the communication with people. Radio is just a real people business – it is to me – and one of the things I’ll miss is the opportunity to communicate with a lot of these people and just to be a part of a lot of things that are going on in the community and to try to be an influence for good,” he said. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

‘Special Ed’ gets jobs done Elsewhere...

----

HIGH POINT – “When Ed Price was growing up, he would mow grass and do other odd jobs to raise extra money to buy sports equipment for children at (Washington Terrace Park, then was called) Colored Park,” says Ray McAllister, retired from the N.C. Division of Probation & Parole and a community volunteer. “This was long before there was even talk of integration.” “Ed worked at the park, teaching kids to swim and coached them in Little League baseball,” McAllister continues. “I can’t think of anything of significance over all those years that he has undertaken in which he hasn’t been successful and accomplished what he set out to do. He makes miracles happen. He changes the dynamics of everything with which he gets involved. “I love him (Price) as I could a brother but, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve tried to slow down but he won’t let me. He just says, ‘C’mon,

“Miracle’ worker is chosen The High Point Enterprise Citizen of the Year 2009. 1A Mac, we’ve got too many things to do.’ I can’t turn him down.” Christine Greene, Citizen of the Year 2001, says Price’s “view of the com- Ed Price, 1989 munity is limitless. He sees everything and everyone as what could be rather than what is. He does not have the pronoun ‘I’ in his vocabulary – it is always, ‘You,’ ‘Them’ and ‘Others.’ He also is possibly the most unorthodox in his approach to solutions of any person I know.” Charles Greene, Chris’ husband and CofY 1990, calls Price “quietly loud, like the cymbals in a marching band ... works in

MIRACLE

Ed Price earned the “Miracle” worker tag because he inspired a group of people to help him raise funds to establish a Miracle League field in High Point for use by challenged children. says, a point made even clearer by Dr. Otis Tillman, CofY 1999, when he tells of Price coaching youngsters in the black neighborhood and, when one of them would become ill, Price would take them to Tillman to get them well again, then pay the boy’s medical bill out of his own pocket. “Ed Price is a man who gives with genuine compassion and absolutely no thought of recognition,” says Paul Lessard, president of High Point Community Foundation, which gave Price the Spirit of the Foundation Award in 2009. “He has a heart at big as High Point.” Jim Morgan, CofY 1991, tells about his grandson, C.J. (age 5 at the time) meeting Price in a restaurant. “He and Ed immediately bonded,” Morgan recalls, and “whenever C.J. is in High Point, he always wants to see ‘Special Ed.’ ”

sacrificial support for youth programs and his insatiable appetite to be a loyal steward of all worthy community causes,” Nido R. Qubein, 1995 CofY, says. “I wholeheartedly admire his generosity of spirit and his constant ‘in-fun’ attitude.” William “Bill” Millis, boyhood buddy and a partner with Price in many projects over the years in High Point, claims “Ed is the most unselfish person I have ever known, an unselfishness that always puts others first.” Price and Millis were entrepreneurs at an early age, building a putt-putt course in Price’s back yard and charging neighborhood kids to play on it. For a profile piece in Triad Business News in 1998, Price told reporter Betty Lou Blount, that it saddens him to see “people upset, sad, hurt, cheated, deprived or stereotyped because of something they’ve done, or who they are, or where they come from, or what their parents did or didn’t do.” He told Blount that he began volunteering to work with children in the community because “I wanted children to have some positive experiences playing sports. “I felt like sports, or anything that is organized, was a valuable part of their upbringing. (Coaching is) something I could do – something I would enjoy doing. Working around children has kept me feeling younger and energetic.” He told Blount that his motivation to work with youth and his empathy for non-star athletes stems from his early years. “I played Little League but was not good enough to play in school,” Price said, adding that he recalls feelings of being “shortchanged” on sports by those in authority. C. Jeffrey Horney, 2004 CofY, capsuled Price’s way of doing things. “Although you would never describe Ed Price as ‘quiet,’ he has quietly helped hundreds of kids on an individual basis through the years ... always going the extra mile. Of course, that is in addition to his more public work with projects such as the Miracle Field and Leslie’s House.” tblount@hpe.com | 888-3543

the background until the time arrives and then, WOW, can he ever be loud. ... Some projects takes years (to accomplish), it doesn’t deter Ed from continuing his quest.” Former mayor Judy Mendenhall, CofY 1998, says that when you think of Price, “Obviously, you think of all the things (he’s done) for children, the last one being the Miracle Field, but his work across the board is memorable. His efforts to raise money to build Leslie’s House, the West End women’s shelter, come to mind as an example.” David S. Miller adds, “I think his leadership with Leslie’s House ... shows his compassion, commitment and determination in addressing a pressing community issue. Many of us had seen the problem but Ed not only saw it, he led the community to a solution.” Price’s longevity (in raising funds for others), “with most of the action below (the recognition) water level, is remarkable,” Miller

One might think that Ed Price burns enough calories just “running” from place to place, meeting to meeting and doing the things he does (helping others) every day that he wouldn’t have to follow a strict exercise program to remain fit. But he does. Price’s wife Teri says he works out daily, riding a stationary bicycle for at least 45 minutes and, on days that time allows, working with weights. Price is out the door and Ed Price while working headed for Carter Bros. BBQ & on a YMCA project in Ribs on N. Main Street by 7:30 every morning.

By the time Price gets home many nights, it’s too late for dinner but, Teri says, “He’s always ready for a milkshake. He loves milkshakes. I make him milkshakes at least four or five nights a week.” Teri’s response when called earlier this week and

Wisconsin man named World Champion Liar Legro of Sun Prairie, Wis., the dubious – but serious – distinction of being the year’s World Champion Liar. “I was ecstatic,” said Legro, 58, a state health inspector. “I told people all year I was planning to win this contest.” Legro told The Associated Press he had been submitting entries for four to five years, even if his wife didn’t share

his enthusiasm. “When I told her I won I could see her roll eyes like, ’Why do you want to do this?”’ he said. “Because it’s there. Somebody’s got to do it.” The Liars Club got its start in 1929 when local journalists Otis Hulett and Mannel Hahn fabricated a news story about a lying contest between the Burlington police and fire departments. The po-

lice chief won, they said, after he said he’d never be good at lying because he never told a lie. The club is based in Burlington, a town of about 15,000 about 35 miles southwest of Milwaukee. It has more than 2,000 members around the world, said Joel Weis, the club’s president. Over the years, the top entries have been about random topics.

America’s road ahead still is rough M

any words could describe the year 2009 and the events it encompassed – historic and contentious being two that perhaps come to mind most quickly for many people. With Barack Obama becoming the United States’ first African-American president and setting into motion health care reform, economic stimulus efforts, energy measures and carrying on with housing and financial bailout plans, those two adjectives are clearly justified in describing the year. Last Jan. 1, we reprinted the Enterprise’s editorial from Jan. 1, 1933, which focused on the economic troubles the nation faced then and the optimism that ruled as a new president (Franklin D. Roosevelt) was coming into office offering economic salvation and hope for the future – not unlike the American scene as it was a year ago. Today, we thought it interesting to look back to Dec. 31, 1933, to read what the editors then thought about the just passed first year of FDR’s tenure and to see what the mood was as more hard times for America lay ahead. As expected, editors back then were optimistic in their view of the future and confident in the ability of economic policies of that day to pull the nation out of the depths of what we know now as the Great Depression. Obviously, back then the editors saw the nation’s policies after nearly one year’s experience as headed in the right direction. A year ago, we shared the positive feelings for the future that our editorials of old had on Jan. 1, 1933. Unfortunately, today we don’t share as bright an outlook for our coming years as those HPE editors held on Dec. 31, 1933, when they peeked into their future. Our optimism today is tempered by the fact that in power now is a Democratic presidential administration and a Democratic majority Congress that believes more government control and involvement in our lives across a broad range of matters is better than less-restrictive government. Today, we also have leaders in power who believe that elevating people’s economic status must by design include a lowering of that of others. And those leaders also see no danger in excessive deficit spending and continually higher taxation by government. Certainly, we also are less optimistic today about our future than our counterparts were about their future 76 years ago because the complex problems we face today – such as terrorism, economic decline, illegal immigration, our energy supplies and our usage of them – have deep roots and no simple answers. But we will not allow pessimism to rule today because we pledge in this new year to continue advocating for what we believe is the correct course for the future. Here below is a reprinting of the Enterprise’s New Year’s editorial from Dec. 31, 1933:

We face a new year

Sunday, Dec. 31, 1933 The year 1933 comes to a close with a record of unprecedented social and economic upheaval but not without assurance that on the substructure laid may rise a recovery that will bring to this nation a continuation of that “New Deal” emblematic of progress made thus far. And as the New Year looms ahead full of promise, there crowd in its path vast uncertainties and pitfalls. There are important decisions to be made, vital policies to be laid down and naturally some mistakes to be made and still others to be corrected. As a nation, we are swinging between uncertainties – and yet there is a faith which causes the people to stand solidly in support of the program which they feel can and must swing to the certainty that is recovery. No longer may apathy ride out the situation – it is a time of action and there will be action. As suggested elsewhere on this page, the only real waste of the present period lies in the unused human energy rather than in the pouring of the credit of this nation into programs to bolster the economic structure. America has gone far in her gigantic fight on the depression; she must not now let misdirected shafts strike vital spots to arrest or wreck the set-up which is the hope of the country. There was perhaps no more interesting and significant era since the dawn of the present civilization. The policies here developing and the course finally taken will be so vast in effect that to fail to give them the best this nation has in meeting the new and complex problems would in itself be suicidal. Indeed, the times, as King George declared on Monday, do call for “unshakable sanity, invincible patience and enduring good will.

U.S. must continue improving veterans benefits

appy New Year, and I hope 2010 will be a year of many blessings to each of you. As I look back at 2009, I believe veterans benefits have improved tremendously. I go to medical clinics in Salisbury and Winston-Salem more frequently now, and I see the wait time has improved greatly. In past years, I would spend a half day or more there. Last week, my name was called within three minutes of my appointment time. I have tinnitus, which means, “ringing in the ears.” I believe that most veterans who have been in combat probably have tinnitus. When I was in the Korean War, I was exposed to nearby howitzer firing, and all the other loud sounds that are involved with military life. I don’t see how any person involved in combat could not have tinnitus. I believe it is very important to be able to hear what is around you. It is the same with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). How on earth can you be involved in battle without suffering from PTSD? The recent Life&Styles articles by Jimmy Tomlin, “Memories & Mysteries,” about a Marine by the name of Jeremy Hedrick who grew up in the High Point area, brought attention to such disorders. Many veterans can relate to this story about Hedrick and say, “I have been there.” At least I know I have been there. It is extremely difficult to see your buddies killed and, for some unknown reason, you are left behind when you were in the same spot they were in. That mystery I will never understand,

except to say that it just was not my time to go. I believe time takes care of some of a veteran’s battle fatigue, but it is not an easy road to travel back to where you were before you went through VETERAN’S some of the things that are a part of war. War is VIEWS a terrible experience, and I am sure all veterans Stan who have been there will Spangle Sr. agree. ■■■ The present war is extremely complicated. It is not a matter of merely stopping the action and getting all the troops on planes back to America. And it is not as simple as “beefing up” the U.S. troop level and finishing the job, as some people might think. I believe we are “hog-tied and bound” because of the way this situation developed. This is a different kind of war. Our next veterans luncheon at Highland United Methodist Church will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 9. We look forward to seeing veterans and their guests. Our congregation appreciates this opportunity to thank veterans for service to our country. We invite all veterans to spend a little time with other veterans for fellowship and good food. God bless America and all the other nations. Semper Fi! STAN SPANGLE SR. is a 21-year veteran of the Marine Corps, serving in Korea and Vietnam. He’s a member of numerous veterans organizations.

N. Korea vows to achieve nuclear-free Koreas

SEOUL, South Korea â&#x20AC;&#x201C; North Korea reaffirmed its commitment to a nuclear-free Korean peninsula in a New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message Friday, brightening the prospect that Pyongyang may rejoin the stalled international talks aimed at ending its nuclear weapons programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is the consistent stand of the DPRK to establish a lasting peace system on the Korean Peninsula and make it nuclear-free through dialogue and negotiations,â&#x20AC;? the message said, referring to the country by its official name, the Democratic Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Republic of Korea. Pyongyangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jan. 1 statement, examined annually for clues to the regimeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies for the coming year, also said it will strive to develop good relations and friendship with other countries, while calling for an end to hostile relations with the United States.

KABUL (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Taliban claimed responsibility Thursday for infiltrating a CIA post with a suicide bomber who set off an explosion that killed seven American intelligence staffers and wounded six others in an attack believed one of the

worst in the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. In Washington, CIA director Leon Panetta said the seven killed in Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attack â&#x20AC;&#x153;were far from home and close to the enemy, doing the hard work that must be done to protect our

country from terrorism.â&#x20AC;? The attack was a blow to the CIA, which has lost only four operatives in this country since the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It also was the deadliest for Americans since eight soldiers were killed Oct. 3 when insur-

gents attacked a remote base, also in eastern Afghanistan. Among those killed was the chief of the CIAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operation at Camp Chapman in the Khost province of eastern Afghanistan, The Associated Press has learned.

UN to pull some staff from Pakistan

ISLAMABAD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The United Nations said Thursday it would relocate about a quarter of the U.N.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s international staff in Pakistan, a response to the increasingly volatile security situation in the country. At least 11 U.N. workers have been killed in Pakistan this year, and fears of attacks have increased over the past two and a half months. More than 500 people have died in bombings after the armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive against militants in South Waziristan, the Pakistani Talibanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main stronghold near the Afghan border.

Briton freed from Iraqi captivity to go home

BAGHDAD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Briton released this week after more than two years as a hostage in Iraq is in good health and preparing to come home soon, a British spokesman said Thursday. Peter Moore was kidnapped in May 2007 outside the Finance Ministry in Baghdad along with his four bodyguards. In a rare positive outcome for a foreign hostage held in Iraq, Moore was handed over Wednesday to the British Embassy in Baghdad. Three of the bodyguards died and the fourth is also believed to be dead.

Revelers across the globe at least temporarily shelved worries about their future prospects to bid

farewell to â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Noughties,â&#x20AC;? a bitter-tinged nickname for the first decade of the 21st century playing on a term for zero and evoking the word naughty. The financial downturn hit hard in 2009, sending many industrial economies into recession, tossing millions out of work and out of their homes as foreclosures rose

dramatically in some countries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The year that is ending has been difficult for everybody. No continent, no country, no sector has been spared,â&#x20AC;?

Gunman kills 5, then self, in Finland

336-882-2007

ESPOO, Finland (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A lone gunman dressed in black killed five people, four in a crowded shopping mall, before returning home and taking his own life on Thursday. It was the third such massacre in Finland in about two years and once again raised questions about gun control in a Nordic country where hunting is popular. Police identified the killer as 43-year-old Ibrahim Shkupolli, an ethnic Albanian immigrant from Kosovo who had been living for several years in Finland. The national tragedy cast a pall over the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve celebrations. Shkupolli killed his ex-girlfriend, a Finnish woman, at her home, and four employees of the Prisma grocery store at the Sello shopping mall in Espoo.

WESLEYAN

Court freed Somali with chemicals, syringe

CHRISTIAN ACADEMY

MOGADISHU, Somalia â&#x20AC;&#x201C;In a setback for U.S. investigators probing links to the attempted attack on a Detroit-bound airliner, a Somali official said Thursday that another suspect who tried to board a plane with chemicals already had been freed. His release earlier this month will hamper efforts to learn if the incident in Mogadishu was linked to the attempted attack against the U.S.-bound plane on Christmas Day. Terrorism analysts had said the arrest in Somalia could prove highly valuable to the U.S. investigation. Somali Police Commissioner Gen. Ali Hassan Loyan said a Somali court released the suspect Dec. 12 after ruling that officials hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t demonstrated he intended to commit a crime. The man, whose name has not been released, said the chemicals were for processing camera film.

PARIS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The son of the deposed shah of Iran urged nations worldwide on Thursday to withdraw their ambassadors from Tehran to protest a relentless government crackdown on opposition demonstrators that resulted in at least eight deaths this week alone. Reza Pahlavi, who has lived in exile since his father was toppled in the 1979 Islamic revolution, also appealed in a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon for a U.N. investigation into human rights violations during the unrest. In an interview with The Associated Press, Pahlavi equated the climate of the unrest in his homeland with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;revolutionary atmosphereâ&#x20AC;? that preceded the fall of his father from the Peacock Throne 30 years ago, when the monarchy was replaced by an Islamic republic.

Rush Limbaugh felt pains similar to heart attack

HONOLULU (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh remained hospitalized in Hawaii Thursday after experiencing chest pains similar to a heart attack, according to the guest host on his nationally syndicated radio show. Limbaugh was rushed to a Honolulu hospital Wednesday during a vacation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is being treated today, continues to rest comfortably, and remains in good spirits,â&#x20AC;? The Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Medical Center said Thursday in a news

release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Limbaugh appreciates the prayers and well wishes of his many fans Limbaugh and supporters.â&#x20AC;? On the radio show, guest host Walter E.

Despite billions of dollars spent to sharpen Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye on dangerous malcontents abroad and at home, the creation of an intelligence-information overseer and countless declarations of intentions to cooperate, it was already clear that the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national security fiefdoms were still not operating in harmony before the attempted bombing

Local pastors preview sermons for first Sunday of 2010 BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Local pastors differ on what messages they will deliver on the first Sunday of the new year, but many agree that it should be a time to reflect on the previous year. The Rev. Bynum Orr, pastor of Brentwood Baptist Church in High Point, said a new year is a good time to think back “on those things that you didn’t do and things that you think you should do because of the experience and try to rectify those kind of things.” Orr will preach Sunday on the

“opportunity that God gave his people” in the Old Testament. “It’s always a fresh time,” Orr said of the new year. “It’s a time to make a fresh start. I think if there are things in our lives that we need to be changed, we need to do that. It’s another opportunity to make a fresh start with God. I think that’s pretty important.” The Rev. George Jackson, pastor of Citadel of Faith Christian Fellowship in Thomasville, will preach on the rhetorical statement of “America at the crossroads: Where do we go from here?” “It’s been a powerful and exciting decade that comes to a close

with the first African-American to be elected the chief executive of our nation,” Jackson said. “Yet with that great milestone being achieved, we are at a crossroads of health-care reform, environmental reform and we are at a crossroads of an economic recovery ... You also have to ask the question ... Where do we go from here?” The Rev. Billy Parham, pastor of The Shepherd’s Inn in Thomasville, said his message for the new year comes out of Amos 3:12. “Within that Scripture is that we need to prepare to meet God,” Parham said. “That’s what my whole life is about is helping people pre-

pare to meet God ... I don’t want to see anybody go to hell. I believe that Bible cover-to-cover, literally. I live my life according to the Scripture. It’s a good way of life.” The Rev. Kelly Kellum, senior pastor of High Point Friends Meeting, said his message for the new year is also on reflection. “I don’t necessarily think it has to occur at the beginning of the year,” Kellum said. “I just think every now and then it’s good to take account of one’s life and the new year is often a good time to do that.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Liquor sales float at flat levels BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Liquor sales that appeared to be recession-proof through most of 2009 probably didn’t escape the year without being affected by the economy, ABC officials said. While New Year’s Eve traditionally is the busiest day of the year for alcoholic beverage sales, Rosalind Stewart, general manager of High Point ABC, doesn’t ex-

pect the same 3 percent sales increase she saw last year. “With the economy, we aren’t expecting any huge increases over last year,” Stewart said. “We’re projecting our sales to be flat.” A customer surge started Friday at ABC stores at about 1 p.m. Stewart said the surge usually lasts until the stores close at 9 p.m. All stores were fully staffed and stocked with extra product in preparation for the big day, which can make or

break yearly sales. New Year’s Eve accounted for $160,000 in sales last year for High Point ABC. December, the busiest month for liquor sales, accounted for 12 percent of its annual sales. Retail sales were stable for the year, but mixed beverage sales, which are derived from sales at restaurants, were down. While some area restaurants have closed, about the same number of new restaurants opened this year, Stewart said.

The ABC store at 242 E. Parris Ave. is the busiest retail site in the city in terms of sales, while a one-year-old store at 1583 Skeet Club Road has seen an overall increase in sales since it replaced a smaller facility in the Oak Hollow Square shopping center. Stewart said she sees the difference between last year’s sales increase and this year’s expected flat line as a sign of the

times. David Wall, chairman of the High Point ABC board, said people continue to ring in the new year with their favorite beverages, which often include egg nog, but they now do so on a budget. “I certainly think people will celebrate,” Wall said, “but they will be constrained on how they celebrate because of the economy.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Agency sponsors smoke ban celebration ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – Health workers will sponsor a celebration Saturday of the new smoking ban in restaurants and bars. A family-friendly bowling party will be held from 3-8 p.m. at the newly smoke-free Gate City Lanes at 5502 Hornaday Road in Greensboro

The party will feature games for the whole family, as well as discounted bowling prices. “This celebration is a chance to come out, do something physically active, and support our new smoke-free facilities in the community. So many people have been anticipating this day. It is a great step toward a healthier community,” said Guilford Coun-

ty Tobacco Prevention Coordinator Mary Gillett. The only exceptions to the new smoke-free law are private nonprofit clubs, such as private fraternal or country clubs, and cigar bars that meet the specific requirements of the law. “We are getting a lot of positive comments from the business community,” said Gillett, “but

North High Point seafood restaurant closes ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

5-year-oldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hair helps stricken look normal

WILMINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For years, Lucy Vasquez says, she tried everything. She offered her daughter, Alexia Dos Santos, candy or toys, anything for Alexia to finally get a haircut. But Alexia, 5, refused. Why would she want to cut her hair? Her long black curls stopped strangers in public and reminded Alexia of the fairy-tale princesses she admires. But on Wednesday, Alexia, a kindergartner at Roger Bacon Academy, finally got her first-ever haircut at Fantasy Hair Land on South College Road. Where bribes had failed, her mother says, Alexia chose to cut her hair so she could help another child who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have hair. Since 1998, Locks of Love has collected donations of hair to make wigs for children who have lost hair for medical reasons. Vasquez donates to Locks of Love every few

years, the time it takes to grow her hair to the necessary 10 to 12 inches. On Wednesday, Alexia sat in an airplane barberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair for her first haircut. Vasquez said donating hair helps other children feel better about their appearance, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a great lesson for her daughter to learn how it feels to help someone else. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to teach her to be compassionate,â&#x20AC;? Vasquez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about making the world a better place.â&#x20AC;? After her haircut, Alexia ran her hands through her hair. Her fingers fluttered in the air a little as she got used to the feeling of her new style. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels lighter,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take as long to brush the tangles out of her curls. Donors from around the United States and Canada cut ponytails, at least 10 to 12 inches in length, and send them to Locks of Love, a nonprofit

in West Palm Beach, Fla. Volunteers sort the hair and ship it to a manufacturer, which makes wigs for financially disadvantaged children who have lost their hair for medical reasons, said Lauren Kukkamaa, communications director for the nonprofit. It takes from six to 10 ponytails to make just one wig, she said. Most of the children have alopecia areata, an autoimmune condition, which causes round patches of hair loss. Other recipients have cancer or are burn patients. Even when the cause of hair loss isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t life threatening, Kukkamaa said, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a life-altering experience for a child to lose his or her hair. Vasquez is the director of Amigos Internacionales in Wilmington. In 2005, she arranged for about a half-dozen women and two men to donate their hair to Locks of Love.

New year offers each of us chance for fresh start

ear Readers: Can you believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the 10th anniversary of Y2K. It seems like only yesterday.... But a new year has arrived, bringing with it our chance for a new beginning. Today is the day we discard destructive old habits for healthy new ones, so with that in mind, I will share Dear Abbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often-requested list of New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Resolutions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which were adapted by my mother, Pauline Phillips, from the original credo of AlAnon.

Just For Today: I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching goals or try to overcome all of my problems at once. I know that I can do something for 24 hours that would overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime. Just For Today: I will be happy. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me. If my mind fills with clouds, I will chase them away and fill it with sunshine. Just For Today: I will accept what is. I will face reality. I will correct those things that I can correct and accept those I cannot. Just For Today: I will improve my mind. I will

read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. I will not ADVICE be a mental loafer. Dear Just For Abby Today: I â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I will be kind and courteous to those who cross my path, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll not speak ill of others. I will improve my appearance, speak softly, and not interrupt when someone else is talking. Just for today: I will refrain from improving anybody but myself. Just For Today: I will do something positive to improve my health. If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a smoker, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll quit. If I am overweight, I will eat healthfully â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if only just for today. And not only that, I will get off the couch and take a brisk walk, even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only around the block. Just For Today: I will gather the courage to do what is right and take responsibility for my own actions. And now, Dear Readers, I would like to share an item that was sent to me by I.J. Bhatia, a reader who lives in New Delhi, India: Dear Abby: This year, no resolutions, only

some guidelines. The Holy Vedas say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Man has subjected himself to thousands of self-inflicted bondages. Wisdom comes to a man who lives according to the true eternal laws of nature.â&#x20AC;? The prayer of St. Francis (of which there are several versions) contains a powerful message: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: â&#x20AC;&#x153;where there is hatred, let me sow love, â&#x20AC;&#x153;where there is injury, pardon; â&#x20AC;&#x153;where there is doubt, faith; â&#x20AC;&#x153;where there is despair, hope; â&#x20AC;&#x153;where there is darkness, light; â&#x20AC;&#x153;and where there is sadness, joy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;O Divine Master, â&#x20AC;&#x153;grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; â&#x20AC;&#x153;to be understood, as to understand; â&#x20AC;&#x153;to be loved, as to love; â&#x20AC;&#x153;for it is in giving that we receive, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.â&#x20AC;&#x153; And so, Dear Readers, may this new year bring with it peace and joy to all of you. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Love, Abby DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Aquaria gift cards will have them honored at Gianopoulosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; other restaurant, the Italian eatery Giannos at 1124 Eastchester Drive, or at the new restaurant when it opens, he said. Gianopoulos said Friday the new restaurant may or may not be in the Aquaria location, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still arranging a time frame for the roll out of the new establishment.

3 UPS workers accused of abusing, killing fox ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

ARCHDALE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Archdale Police Department is investigating a case involving three UPS employees who are accused of beating, burning and running over a fox before killing it last month. Chief Darrell Gibbs said Archdale police received a call on the

morning of Dec. 23 from a UPS manager who told officers she had five witnesses who claimed they had watched three UPS employees beat, burn and run over a fox at 1205 Corporation Drive. Gibbs said the suspects were not at work when police arrived because they work different shifts.

The alleged incident involving the fox occurred Dec. 17, Gibbs said. Cruelty to animal charges are pending on the three suspects, Gibbs said, noting he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know of any federal charges that would cover this type of incident. The police chief would not release the names of the suspects.

Asheboro man wins $1 million ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

RANDOLPH COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thanks to the N.C. Education Lottery, an Asheboro man is $1 million richer. Lottery officials announced on Thursday that John Luffman bought a $200 Million Extravaganza ticket at the Food Lion on Pointe

South Drive in Randleman. He told lottery officials that he had to look at the ticket â&#x20AC;&#x153;a half dozen timesâ&#x20AC;? to make sure he had really just won $1 million. The instant win isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the first for Luffman as he claimed a $10,000 prize on a $100 Million Cash Spectacular ticket in January 2008.

Luffmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $1 million prize will be paid annually in $50,000 payments for the next 20 years. Luffman already has received his first check, which had an after-tax value of $34,006. Luffman also told lottery officials the win still is sinking in and he plans to contribute some of his winnings to charity.

THE HISTORY OF AVIATION

Airplanes have become a regular way of life. Millions of people board airplanes each day, but there was a time not so long ago that travel by air was not possible for humans. It was a luxury reserved for birds and insects. Men have dreamed of ďŹ&#x201A;ight for as long as they have been on the Earth. Evidence of this has been found in stories and drawings that date back to ancient times. People have manufactured wings, constructed gliders, attached explosives to chairs, and tried to design aircrafts for thousands of years. The most common way to ďŹ&#x201A;y in modern times is the jet airplane. Other ways to become airborne are in hot air balloons, helicopters, hang gliders, and blimps. Many people, at different times and in different places, have tried to create ďŹ&#x201A;ying machines, such as the airplane. For this reason, it is hard to say who actually invented the airplane, yet the ďŹ rst manned, heavier-than-air ďŹ&#x201A;ight in an airplane was well-recorded for the history books. Wilbur and Orville Wright, two brothers from Dayton, Ohio, who made bicycles for a living, built one of the ďŹ rst manned aircrafts. It was the ďŹ rst to ever have a successful ďŹ&#x201A;ight with a person on board. In 1903 in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Orville Wright ďŹ&#x201A;ew the Flyer I for 12 seconds. Later that day Wilbur had a successful ďŹ&#x201A;ight that lasted almost a minute. By 1905, the brothers had created the Flyer III that could maneuver in the air. In 1908 the brothers were commissioned to build an aircraft for the United States military. It is clear that the Wright Brothers are the fathers of modern ďŹ&#x201A;ight.

What to do when the taste of food disappears

ear Dr. Donohue: A month ago, I caught a cold. Since then, I haven’t been able to taste anything. Eating has lost all its appeal, and I have unintentionally lost 10 pounds. My doctor tells me I just have to live with it. Can you suggest anything that will bring my taste back? – R.B.

BLONDIE

Food flavor doesn’t come only from taste buds. Much of what we call taste is actually smell-related. In your case, although I can’t say with certainty, I believe your trouble comes from your nose and from a loss of smell perception due to your cold. Viral cold infections can disrupt smell receptors in the nose. Sometimes they regenerate. Time will tell if your receptors will come back. I hate to tell you this, but sometimes they don’t. Let’s examine other possible causes. A dry mouth robs food of its taste. Saliva brings the taste chemicals in food to the taste buds. Without sufficient saliva, this meeting doesn’t take place. If dry mouth is the problem, artificial saliva can fill in for natural saliva, and medicines are available to stimulate the salivary glands’ production of saliva. Other things that diminish taste include head injuries, nose injuries, nasal infections, nasal polyps, infections of the mouth and tongue, reflux of stomach acid into the

mouth and the one condition about which not a whole lot can be done – aging. HEALTH Medicines are another Dr. Paul cause of Donohue taste loss. ■■■ If no cause can be found, you can try a number of maneuvers that revive taste. Preparation of food is important. Use spices, vinegars and oils to excite taste buds. Marinades and fruit preserves help. Chew food longer than you normally do. Grinding food releases more taste chemicals, and holding the food in the mouth increases the time that taste buds are in contact with those chemicals. Include foods with textures you don’t usually eat – crunchy foods, for example. Take a forkful of meat, then a forkful of vegetables and then a piece of bread. The change in foods stimulates dulled taste buds. Dear Dr. Donohue: This morning, when looking into the mirror, I noticed I had white rings around the colored part of my eyes. What are they? – K.W. Those rings are arcus senilis. They partially or completely encircle the iris. Next time you’re

in a crowd, look around and you’ll find that many people have them. They might indicate high blood cholesterol, high blood triglycerides or neither high blood cholesterol nor triglycerides. They really are not a reliable sign of anything being seriously amiss. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have a patch of numb skin on my upper left thigh. I have no recollection of any injury. Once in a great while, the same patch is a bit uncomfortable, but I really can’t call it pain. What could this be? – L.A. I suspect it’s meralgia paresthetica. The nerve that supplies that area and sends sensations to the brain is trapped in tissues that squeeze it. The involved area is the same area covered by a cowboy’s holster. The entrapping material could be old scar tissue. Or it could be pressure from tight jeans or a tight belt. Sometimes it happens when a person carries too much weight. Often, people with this condition have constant pain in the area. If it comes from a tight belt or tight garments, you can cure it by making a change. If weight contributes to it, losing a few pounds will get rid of the sensation. If none of this applies, a surgeon can free the nerve from entrapping tissue.

Deacons survive Spider scare

WINSTON-SALEM (AP) – Al-Farouq Aminu scored eight of his 16 points in overtime to lift Wake Forest to a 74-68 victory over Richmond on Thursday night. Ishmael Smith added 13 points, Chas McFarland had 13 points and 12 rebounds, and L.D. Williams had 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Demon Deacons (10-2), who overcame an eight-point deficit midway through the first half to win their sixth straight. Kevin Anderson scored a career-high 31 points for the Spiders (10-4), including a layup with 1:36 left in the second half that put Richmond ahead 62-60. But the Demon Deacons tied the score on C.J. Harris’ layup with 41.9 seconds remaining, and Wake missed a chance to win in regu-

lation when McFarland’s tip in off Williams’ off-balance jumper was ruled to have come after the buzzer. Justin Harper added 10 points for Richmond, which has now lost 17 straight to the Demon Deacons dating to the 1990-91 season. The Spiders briefly held the lead in overtime at 63-62 on a Dan Geriot free throw with 3:07 left, and tied the score at 65 on an Anderson jumper with 2:25 remaining. But Aminu’s layup, followed by a free throw with 1:13 left, put Wake Forest ahead 68-65. Ari Stewart then nailed a 3-pointer with 19 seconds remaining to give the Demon Deacons a 71-66 margin, and Aminu hit 3 of 4 from the line in the final seconds to seal the win. The two sides swapped the lead 15 times

and tied the score 20 times during Thursday’s game, with 15 ties and nine lead changes coming in the final 20 minutes of regulation. Wake Forest led by as many as five points in the second half, going ahead 46-41 on a pair of David Weaver free throws with 11:39 left. However, Richmond rallied and took its own five-point lead a few minutes later at 51-46 on Ryan Butler’s 3-pointer with 9:16 left. The Spiders took command early, with Anderson scoring nine points during an 11-3 run that put Richmond ahead 20-12 with 12:22 left. The Spiders were still ahead by eight points when the Deacons’ defense stiffened, stopping Richmond from scoring on 11 consecutive possessions. That allowed Wake to slowly whittle away at the lead.

Ledford rallies for title

North girls edge East BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

WALLBURG – Ledford led only once during Thursday’s NewBridge Bank Christmas Classic title game. Fortunately for the Panthers, they held the advantage for the last 6.8 seconds of play and held on for a 47-46 victory over Southeast Guilford. Tournament MVP Daniel Lawson stunned the Falcons with a drive that left him with two free throws and less than seven seconds on the clock. He nailed both to give Ledford the one-point win. Southeast jumped to a 16-3 lead, but allowed the host team to linger. Sloppy play and a list of missed opportunities left the Falcons to join North Davidson – which fell to the Panthers on Tuesday night in OT – as victims of Ledford rallies. “That’s the second game we’ve been down the entire game and came back to win,” Lawson said. “We started out in the zone and got a little bit lazy trying to cheat. After the first quarter, we came out of the zone and played all-out on them.” Lawson finished with a game-high 16 points and spearheaded Ledford’s man-to-man defense that caused Southeast to unravel. Fifteen points from Bradley Savage were not enough to overcome the turnovers and a tendency to not finish at the rim. But Ledford (9-3) could not complete the comeback until the end due to woes at the foul line. “Lay ups and free throws and that’s not even a game in the fourth quarter,” Ledford coach Scott Dalton said of his team’s failure to capitalize. “I did my team a disservice letting my guys sit back in that zone. It kind of sent a message that we were going to come out passive. As soon as we came out in man, we really shut them down.”

WALLBURG – The Golden Eagles prepared to ring in the new year in familiar fashion Thursday night with yet another NewBridge Christmas Classic championship in sight. North Davidson foiled East’s plans by coming away with a 60-59 victory in the title game. Chelsea Turner hit a layup with 1.2 seconds left to bring East within one, but missed the tying free throw to leave North with the win. “It’s tough,” East coach Brian Eddinger said of Turner, whose 12 points was two off the team lead. “You can say, ‘Well, if Chelsea hit that free throw…’ but we shouldn’t have been in that situation.” Eddinger mentioned several opportunities that passed the Eagles by – none bigger than the shots they had with time running out. Taylor Hallman hit a 3-pointer with two minutes remaining to cut the North lead to 54-51, then nailed a runner in the lane to bring the advantage to a single point with one minute left. A North turnover gave East a chance to take the lead, but the Eagles were unable to capitalize. “We played great defense on Candace (Fox) and Haley (Grimsley),” Black Knights coach Kim Payne said. “I like playing tougher teams. Our conference has got some stiff competition, so hopefully that will help us down the road.” One thing Payne will certainly take from Thursday’s tilt is the way in which her girls handled an intense full-court press. North opened the final frame with a 9-0 run, but the Knights were nearly unable to hold onto the eight-point lead thanks to a bevy of turnovers. “Our intensity seemed to fall off a little bit in the second half, but then we found it with about five minutes to go,” Eddinger said. Haley Grimsley led East (10-2) with 14 points and Stacy Hicks had 12. Chaunelle Yokeley had 14 points for North (9-3) and teammate Samantha Honeycutt added 13.

igh Point’s holiday basketball tournament has been called a number of things over the years. No matter the sponsor’s name, you can call it a great event that seems to be heading in the proper direction. The Bank of North Carolina Christmas Classic concluded Wednesday after three days of games featuring 10 local teams, four more from just outside High Point, plus the Christian Academy of Knoxville. Event hosts High Point Central and Southwest Guilford did great jobs for the players, coaches, officials and media, providing welcoming hospitality rooms and promptly pass-

ing along scores from each game. The crowds came out en masse starting with Tuesday’s semifinals, and no one could go home grumbling about not getting their money’s worth. Wesleyan, the boys champion, advanced with a triple-OT win against Western Guilford. Second-place Westchester Country Day beat High Point Central at the overtime buzzer in the semifinals, and one day later, Central beat Southwest Guilford at the buzzer in the third-place boys game. Drama oozed from the rafters at High Point Central on Wednesday when the girls championship went to the Bison in a fabulous finish and Wesleyan claimed the boys title

over the Wildcats in an electric atmosphere. Really, the most disappointing aspect of the whole tournament was the way the boys championship game was officiated – letting players of that caliber play a bit might have led to an even greater finale. After floundering with different directions in recent years, it appears as though school officials at Central, Southwest and Wesleyan have High Point’s tournament back on track. Call it what it is – a great local high school basketball tournament that’s a treat for hoops fans throughout the area.

Redskins assistant coach Stump Mitchell has been offered the head coaching job at Southern University. The school announced the offer and Mitchell says he will make a decision after the Redskins’ season is over. Washington (4-11) plays its final game Sunday and it could be the last with the Redskins for coach Jim Zorn and his staff. “I think it’s great that they considered me as being qualified to take over a program like that,” Mitchell said. “I don’t know what’s going to happen here. But if it’s not here, it’ll be there.” Mitchell was a running back in the NFL nine years with the Cardinals. He has been an assistant in the NFL 11 years. Southern fired Pete Richardson after a 6-5 regular season, his 17th year at the school.

Duke men on f ire vs. Penn DURHAM (AP) – Nolan Smith scored 23 points to help seventh-ranked Duke beat Pennsylvania 114-55 on Thursday night in its final tuneup before opening Atlantic Coast Conference play. Kyle Singler added 20 points for the Blue Devils (11-1), who took control of the game early en route to their fifth straight victory. Duke led by double figures in the first 5 minutes, then ran off a 23-3 run that blew the game open and turned the rest of the contest into a formality. It was a good way for Duke to head into Sunday’s ACC opener against Clemson, which hasn’t won at Cameron Indoor Stadium since 1995. The Blue Devils shot 60 percent, hit 10 of 21 3-pointers and finished with a season-high scoring output to extend the Quakers’ miserable start. AP Jack Eggleston scored 13 Duke’s Miles Plumlee dunks against Penn during Thurs- points to lead Penn (0-9), day’s rout in Durham. The Blue Devils won 114-55. which has lost both games

since Glen Miller was fired and Jerome Allen took over as interim coach. Jon Scheyer finished with 19 points and a career-high 11 assists for the Blue Devils, while Plumlee finished with a season-high 18 points. It was Duke’s national-best 76th straight nonconference home win and its 36th consecutive home victory against an unranked foe. The game drew Oscarwinning actor Denzel Washington, whose son, Malcolm, is a freshman walk-on for the Quakers. Washington kept a low profile in the notoriously hostile arena, wearing a dark blue Penn hat and sitting a couple of rows behind the scorer’s table near the Penn bench. He did, however, acknowledge the Cameron Crazies by tipping his hat after they started chanting his name during a secondhalf timeout with the Devils leading by 40 points.

Wolfpack offense rolls past UNCG

GREENSBORO – Tracy Smith scored 21 points to lead N.C. State past North Carolina-Greensboro 8967 on Thursday night. Dennis Horner added 17 points for the Wolfpack (10-3), who established a season scoring high and shot nearly 68 percent in the second half. They never trailed, blew most of an early 15-point lead and used an overwhelming second-half spurt to cruise to their second straight win. Ben Stywall had 18 points and 13 rebounds for the Spartans (2-10). They had 21 turnovers in losing their sixth straight and falling to 0-5 against the Atlantic Coast Conference – which will hold its tournament at their home arena. That’s the main reason why so many ACC schools scheduled games against UNC Greensboro. N.C. State didn’t turn the ball over during the first 15 minutes of the second half and put the game away with a 20-4 run that

EL PASO, Texas – Ryan Broyles set a Sun Bowl record with three touchdown receptions and Landry Jones passed for 416 yards to lead Oklahoma past Heisman runner-up Toby Gerhart and No. 19 Stanford 31-27 on Thursday. Broyles finished with 156 yards receiving and set Oklahoma’s single-game record with 13 receptions. Jones completed 30 of 51 and connected with Broyles on TD strikes of 30, 13 and 6 yards. Gerhart, who led the nation with 1,736 yards rushing, ran for 133 yards and scored two TDs in the first half to lead Stanford (8-5). Oklahoma (8-5) rallied with 14 straight points in the third quarter.

AF BOWL BELONGS TO AIR FORCE

FORT WORTH, Texas – Asher Clark and Jared Tew each ran for more than 100 yards with two touchdowns and Air Force’s top-ranked passing defense had six interceptions against NCAA passing leader Case Keenum, leading the Falcons to a 47-20 victory over Houston in the Armed Forces Bowl. Air Force’s plan to limit Keenum and the nation’s most explosive offense worked almost flawlessly. The Falcons (8-5) ran for 402 yards to go with Tim Jefferson’s effective passing (10 of 14 for 161 yards), holding the ball for 41 minutes and then coming up with the big defensive plays.

Anthony Wright had three of the interceptions, and Chris Thomas had two picks to go with his 12 tackles. Keenum was 24 of 41 with a season-low 222 yards and a touchdown for the Cougars (10-4). In his other 13 games this season, he had only nine interceptions while throwing for 5,449 yards with 43 touchdowns.

NAVY ROLLS IN TEXAS BOWL HOUSTON – Ricky Dobbs ran for 166 yards and three touchdowns and Navy manhandled Missouri with its triple-option in a 35-13 win over the Tigers in the Texas Bowl. Dobbs also threw a TD pass to Bobby Doyle and Marcus Curry ran for a score as the Midshipmen (10-4) rushed for 385 yards against Missouri’s 12th-ranked run defense. Navy won time of possession by nearly 22 minutes and ran 81 offensive plays to only 57 for the Tigers. Blaine Gabbert threw a 58-yard touchdown pass to Danario Alexander on Missouri’s second play from scrimmage, but the Tigers mustered only 298 yards the rest of the game – largely because they only had the ball for just over 19 minutes. Gabbert also threw two interceptions and was sacked four times as Missouri (8-5) lost for the second time in its last five bowl appearances.

TODAY’S BOWL PREVIEW CAPSULES

---

OUTBACK BOWL WHO: Northwestern (8-4) vs. Auburn (7-5), 11 a.m. (ESPN) LINE: Auburn by 8. SERIES RECORD: First meeting. WHAT’S AT STAKE: Northwestern is in a bowl game for just the eighth time. The Wildcats are 1-6 all time, with the lone win coming in 1948 when they beat California in the Rose Bowl. Auburn is making its 35th bowl appearance, first under coach Gene Chizik, who was hired in December 2008. The Tigers are 19-13-2, including wins in their past two bowl games following the 2006 (Cotton) and 2007 (Chick-fil-A) seasons. KEY MATCHUP: Northwestern QB Mike Kafka vs. the Antonio Coleman-led Auburn defense. Kafka was the third-leading passer in the Big Ten at 241.5 yards per game and second in the league in total offense. Coleman has nine sacks for Auburn, which allowed 191.8 yards per game passing. Walter McFadden leads the Tigers with four interceptions. Defensively, Northwestern needs to contain the run. Auburn RB Ben Tate rushed for 1,254 yards and eight touchdowns.

CAPITAL ONE BOWL WHO: No. 11 Penn State (10-2) vs. No. 13 LSU (9-3), 1 p.m. (ABC) LINE: Penn State by 2 1/2. SERIES RECORD: Penn State leads 1-0. LAST MEETING: 1974 Orange Bowl, Penn State 16-9. WHAT’S AT STAKE: It’s been a relatively quiet season for Penn State, especially after a September loss to Iowa dropped coach Joe Paterno’s team out of the national title hunt. A victory over LSU would give this season’s squad a signature win. The Tigers, like Penn State, could use a victory as a springboard for the 2010 season. LSU could finish with double-digit wins for the fourth time in coach Les Miles’ five seasons. KEY MATCHUP: LSU passing game vs. Penn St. defense. Injuries have whittled LSU’s running back depth to the point where former fourth-stringer Stevan Ridley is starting. The Lions’ secondary will be busy defending big threat WR Brandon LaFell (10 TDs).

GATOR BOWL

began with about 131⁄2 minutes to play. Freshman Scott Wood had season highs of five 3s and 15 points, and Javier Gonzalez also scored 15 for the Wolfpack, who made a strong start stand against a regional midmajor opponent for the second straight game. Just as in the win against Winthrop two nights earlier, N.C. State raced out to a big early lead. The Wolfpack opened this one with a 23-8 run over 91⁄2 minutes, hitting 9 of 15 shots. Four of those shots belonged to Smith, and all were from point-blank range. The Wolfpack then went nearly 71⁄2 minutes between field goals and allowed the Spartans to rally. UNCG used a 16-4 burst led by its guards to cut it to 2724 with 21⁄2 minutes left, and trailed 32-28 at the break on Brandon Evans’ 15-footer a second before the buzzer. Evans had 14 AP points, Korey Van Dussen scored 12 and Brian Cole N.C. State’s Tracy Smith (23) shoots over the Spartans’ Ben Stywall during Thursday’s game in Greensboro. had 10 for UNCG.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

and ran for another, as Iowa State defeated Minnesota 14-13 in the Insight Bowl on Thursday night, capping the Cyclones’ first winning season since 2005. The Cyclones (7-6) overcame four turnovers by Arnaud, who threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles. Iowa State won for the third time in 10 bowl games – and the second in Arizona. Minnesota’s Adam Weber threw for 261 yards and a score, and Kyle Theret picked off two passes for the Golden Gophers (6-7), who became the first three-time Insight Bowl loser.

HUSKERS ENJOY HOLIDAY SHUTOUT

SAN DIEGO – Zac Lee threw a 74yard touchdown pass to Niles Paul in the third quarter to highlight No. 20 Nebraska’s 33-0 rout against No. 22 Arizona late Wednesday, the first shutout in the 32-year history of the Holiday Bowl. The coaches expected a defensive game, and the Huskers delivered, earning their first shutout in 46 bowl appearances. Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, the AP College Football Player of the Year and a Heisman finalist, had only three tackles, including one for a loss, but helped the Huskers harass Arizona quarterback Nick Foles all night. Suh even went out IOWA STATE 14, MINNESOTA 13 TEMPE, Ariz. – Alexander Rob- for a pass early in the third quarter inson ran for 137 yards, and Austen on second-and-4 from the Arizona 5, Arnaud threw for one touchdown but Lee didn’t throw his way.

WHO: Florida State (6-6) vs. No. 18 West Virginia (93), 1 p.m. (CBS) LINE: West Virginia by 2 1/2. SERIES RECORD: Florida State leads 2-0. LAST MEETING: 2005 Gator Bowl, FSU 30-18. WHAT’S AT STAKE: No Florida State team has ever clamored to finish 7-6, until now. The last thing the Seminoles want is to send coach Bobby Bowden into retirement on a loss, and with a losing record. But it’ll take more than overwhelming sentiments – hundreds of former players will be there to send Bowden off, as will tens of thousands of FSU fans – for the Seminoles to find a way to get past the Mountaineers. West Virginia is bidding for its fourth 10-win season in the past five years, plus a fifth straight postseason victory. KEY MATCHUP: West Virginia RB Noel Devine vs. Florida State’s run defense. Over the past three years, West Virginia is 12-2 when Devine rushes for at least 100 yards, 16-1 when he runs for a touchdown and 12-8 when he doesn’t score. Tough to ignore those trends, and also tough to ignore the fact that FSU ranked 108th this season (out of 120 teams) in rushing defense, giving up a staggering 203.9 yards per game. If Devine, whom FSU coveted out of high school, runs wild, Bowden’s farewell game might be over quickly.

ROSE BOWL WHO: Ohio State (10-2) vs. Oregon (10-2), 5 p.m. EST (ABC) LINE: Oregon by 4. SERIES RECORD: Ohio State leads 7-0. LAST MEETING: 1987, Ohio State 24-14. WHAT’S AT STAKE: Two strong programs that finished the regular season strong will meet in two longoverdue returns to the Rose Bowl. Oregon hasn’t been there since 1995, while Ohio State hasn’t made it to Pasadena since 1997. The Buckeyes are eager to end their three-game skid in bowl games, while the Ducks hope for a memorable cap to the season in which they broke USC’s stranglehold on the Pac-10 title. KEY MATCHUP: Oregon QB Jeremiah Masoli vs. Ohio State S Kurt Coleman. The matchup of the Ducks’ speedy spread offense against the Buckeyes’ hard-hitting defense is likely to garner most of the attention. Masoli’s running ability and surprisingly strong arm will challenge a Buckeyes defense that hasn’t seen anybody like him – except in practice with QB Terrelle Pryor. If the Buckeyes focus on Oregon’s running game with Masoli and RB LaMichael James, the Ducks will try downfield throws to challenge Coleman, Ohio State’s all-conference safety and team MVP.

SUGAR BOWL WHO: No. 5 Florida (12-1) vs. No. 4 Cincinnati (12-0), 8:30 p.m. (Fox) LINE: Florida by 13. SERIES RECORD: Florida leads 1-0. LAST MEETING: Oct. 20, 1984, Florida 48-17. WHAT’S AT STAKE: Cincinnati, playing in its second straight BCS bowl, tries to cap a perfect season after losing coach Brian Kelly to Notre Dame. Florida is hoping to bounce back from a disheartening loss to Alabama in the SEC title game and end the program’s most anticipated season with a victory in what will be QB Tim Tebow’s farewell. Florida coach Urban Meyer was a backup cornerback at Cincinnati when these teams met for the first time in 1984. There are six head coaches involved in this game. Meyer is coaching Florida, then giving way to interim coach Steve Addazio during his indefinite leave of absence. The Gators also have new Louisville coach Charlie Strong running the defense. On the other side, Kelly got the Bearcats to the Sugar Bowl, then left for Notre Dame. He has stayed in contact with interim coach Jeff Quinn, who has accepted the head job at Buffalo. And new Cincy coach Butch Jones already has moved into his office and is expected to be at the game. KEY MATCHUP: Cincinnati QB Tony Pike vs. Florida’s defense. Pike missed four starts after damaging a plate in his non-throwing arm Oct. 15, but made a triumphant return Nov. 27 against Illinois. He threw for 399 yards and six touchdowns. Now, he faces a defense that has been one of the best in the nation most of the season, but struggled in a 32-13 loss to Alabama.

Panthers running backs Jonathan Stewart (left) and DeAngelo Williams celebrate a Stewart touchdown against Tampa Bay earlier this season. Williams earned his first Pro Bowl nod two days after Stewart rushed for a franchise-best 206 yards. They are only the sixth pair of NFL teammates since 1970 to each rush for 1,000 yards.

Panthers run into record books record with 206 yards rushing in Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 41-9 rout of the Giants. Williams kept telling Stewart on the sideline how many more yards he needed to reach 1,000 on the season. Stewart enters Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season finale against New Orleans with 1,008 yards. They are just the sixth set of teammates since the 1970 merger to rush for 1,000 yards each, but the third in the past four years. Derrick Ward and Brandon Jacobs of the New York Giants did it last season. Warrick Dunn and quarterback Michael Vick accomplished the feat in 2006 for Atlanta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was one of our hidden goals because we saw that Derrick Ward and Brandon Jacobs did it last year,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew that it was possible. Unfortunately I kind of got injured a little bit. But the fortunate thing about it is it allowed him to rush for 1,000 yards. I told him I was proud of him and he

CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Since being voted to his first Pro Bowl on Tuesday, DeAngelo Williams had been as elusive with the media as would-be tacklers. When he was finally cornered on Thursday, the Carolina running back seemed more interested in talking about Jonathan Stewart. So it is with this tight-knit duo that has a chance to make history on Sunday as the first set of backs since the NFL-AFL merger to each rush for 1,100 yards in a season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know that,â&#x20AC;? Williams said, looking surprised. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty cool.â&#x20AC;? Williams on Tuesday was voted to the Pro Bowl after being snubbed a year earlier. He has 1,117 yards despite missing two games and three quarters of another with sprained ankles. Two days earlier, an injured Williams was both a fan and a calculator for Stewart, who set a team

ran hard. He broke a lot of tackles that day and the O-line did a great job of blocking for him.â&#x20AC;? Now with 92 yards on Sunday, Stewart would reach 1,100 yards and give the duo an unsurpassed milestone. Not bad for a couple of guys who have been fighting injuries all season. Stewart hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t practiced this week because of chronic pain in his left Achillesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tendon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very special,â&#x20AC;? Stewart said of topping 1,000 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something me and DeAngelo cherish.â&#x20AC;? The two small, strong, elusive former first-round picks became close friends last year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; despite their competition for carries â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when Williams took over as the starter and Stewart was a rookie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of football teams in the National Football League that would love to have the luxury that we have,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When one goes down the other comes in and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss a beat.â&#x20AC;?

UNC women enjoying Carmichael THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHAPEL HILL â&#x20AC;&#x201C; North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s players are getting accustomed to their renovated home. Italee Lucas scored 17 points to help No. 7 North Carolina defeat East Tennessee State 104-65 on Thursday. Cetera DeGraffenreid and Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;la White added 15 points each for the Tar Heels (11-1), who shook off some early shooting struggles in their second game of the season at Carmichael Auditorium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of different here, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still adjusting to that,â&#x20AC;? said White, whose team played its first seven home games this season at the Dean E. Smith Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to take long.â&#x20AC;? Martina Wood scored a career-high 12 points and Waltiea Rolle had 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Tar Heels, who shot 51 percent from the field in the second half after shooting 37 percent in the

first half. Laura Broomfield grabbed 14 of her career-high 15 rebounds in the first half for North Carolina. North Carolina dominated the smaller Buccaneers inside even without starting post player Chay Shegog, who was recovering from a concussion she suffered in the Tar Heelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 89-44 win over Kennesaw State on Tuesday. The Tar Heels reached 100 points for the first time this season. The gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fast pace helped North Carolina reach 72 rebounds, one shy of the school record set in 1976. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved the tempo,â&#x20AC;? North Carolina coach Sylvia Hatchell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of our decisions werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what they needed to be, but I loved the tempo.â&#x20AC;? TaRonda Wiles scored 22 points on 10 of 27 shooting to lead East Tennessee State (4-6), which trailed 48-35 at halftime. Siarre Evans and Iesha Robinson added 13 points apiece for the Buccaneers.

Jasmine Thomas added 15 points for the Blue Devils (11-2), who were coming off the biggest rout in school history. They beat N.C. Central by 89 points Monday, the sixth-largest victory margin in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball this decade. The Owls (10-3) proved far tougher. Trailing 4541 midway through the second half, Thomas hit three free throws to start a 7-0 run. Temple then went up 50-49 with 7:55 left. Duke answered with the next 10 points, forcing five straight turnovers. Christmasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; two free throws with 4:10 to go made it 58-49. The Owls drew to 62-58 on Kristen McCarthyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3pointer with 2:03 left, but Duke hit eight straight free throws to seal it. McCarthy finished with 16 points.

Tigers fall in tourney ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

PIZZA HUT INVITATIONAL GREENSBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ragsdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls rallied from 11 points down early in the fourth quarter but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come all the way back, losing 37-35 to Page in the opening round of the Pizza Hut Invitational at the Greensboro Coliseum Special Events Center. The Tigers (7-2) trailed 15-6 after Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening quarter and got no closer than four points until the final minute. Pageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brittany Drew hit a 3-pointer for a 34-23 lead at the 7:30 mark of the fourth quarter, but more than five minutes would pass before the Pirates scored again. In between, the Tigers came back on jumpers by Ciara Jackson and Lindsay Lee along with foul shots from Eroncia Berry and Courtney Marsh that made it 34-31 with 3:09 to go. After Page went up by

six on Ashley Fowlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3, Jackson hit a jumper with 1:41 to go and again with 11 seconds left to make it 37-35. Ragsdale forced a turnover on the ensuing possession, but a Jackson shot with three seconds to go missed the mark and Page (6-2) escaped. Jackson finished with 12 points, while Kate Harrison and Emma Sonricker had six each. Lee pulled down 16 rebounds. The Ragsdale boys saw a big second quarter by Northern Guilford (6-0) turn the tide in the Nighthawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 69-54 win later. The Tigers trailed just 1210 after the first, but were outscored 28-11 in the second period to trail by 19 at the break. Jonathan Frye scored 12 of his game-high 23 points in the quarter and the Tigers (3-7) could get no closer than 10 points the rest of the way. Ragsdale was paced by Benaiah Wiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12 points and Tyquan Robertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 10.

Stocks drop on 2009’s final day NEW YORK (AP) – The stock market has closed out a remarkable 2009 with a loss as investors bet the improving economy will lead the government to pull back on its stimulus measures. But stocks still managed their best year since 2003 as they recovered from the financial crisis and recession. The thin volume exaggerated the market’s moves. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 120.46, or 1.1 percent, to 10,428.05. For the year, the Dow rose 1,651.66, or 18.8 percent. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index, considered by professionals to be the market’s best barometer, fell 11.32, or 1 percent, to 1,115.10. The S&P ended the year with a gain of 211.85, or 23.5 percent.

Meanwhile, the Nasdaq composite index fell 22.13, or 1 percent, to 2,269.15. Powered by the recovery in hightech stocks, the Nasdaq ended 2009 with a gain of 696.12, 43.9 percent. The full-year stats are dwarfed by the indexes’ recovery from the depths of last March, when they hit bottom. The Dow rose 3,881.00, or 59.3 percent from its March 9 close, while the S&P 500 rose 438.57, or 64.8 percent, and the Nasdaq regained 1,000.51, or 78.9 percent. News that weekly unemployment claims fell to the lowest level since July 2008 gave stocks an initial blip Thursday, but the market gave back the gains as traders took some profits to close out their books.

add fuel to the broader economic rebound that began earlier this year. The Labor Department said Thursday that new claims for unemployment insurance fell by 22,000 to a seasonally adjusted 432,000, the lowest since July 2008. That’s much better than the rise to 460,000 that Wall Street economists expected. The four-week average, which smooths fluctuations, fell for the 17th straight week to 460,250,

the lowest since September 2008, when the financial crisis intensified. The crisis led to widespread mass layoffs, which sent jobless claims to as high as 674,000 last spring. Analysts cautioned that the weekly data could be artificially low due to seasonal factors, such as the Christmas holiday and recent snowstorms. Still, many economists saw the claims figures as a positive sign that employers could soon step up

hiring. Abiel Reinhart, an economist at JPMorgan Chase, said in a note to clients that he estimates employers added a net total of 40,000 jobs in December, after cutting 11,000 the previous month. The Labor Department will report the unemployment rate and jobs figures Jan. 8. Reinhart said the December jobless rate will likely be 10 percent, matching the previous month and down from 10.2 percent, a 26-year high, in October.

Delta, Northwest can be single carrier now, travelers won’t notice anything different. Delta, based in Atlanta, acquired Northwest for $2.8 billion in stock in October 2008 to become the world’s biggest airline. Delta and Northwest are now one airline, meaning that for the first time pre-merger Northwest operations will be combined into Delta’s operations, Chief Operating Officer Stephen E. Gorman said in an internal memo. More than 80 percent

of pre-merger Northwest aircraft have already been painted over with the Delta livery. Employees of both carriers are wearing the same uniforms, and the two carriers frequent-flier programs have already been combined under the Delta SkyMiles brand. But operationally, the two carriers have been kept separate while Delta sought the FAA certificate. Delta plans to operate

The single operating certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration allows Delta to put its code on Northwest flights and phase out the Northwest name.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of newly laidoff workers filing claims for unemployment benefits dropped unexpectedly last week, a sign the job market is healing as the economy slowly recovers. New jobless claims have dropped steadily since September, raising hopes that the economy may soon begin creating jobs and the unemployment rate could decline. That, in turn, would give households more money to spend and

Northwest-coded flights until all seats and fares are consolidated in Delta’s reservations system. Once that occurs, it will remove the distinction for passengers of purchasing on Delta or Northwest, and the Northwest Web site will be folded into Delta’s. Still unresolved for Delta is its effort to lure Japan Airlines Corp. away from its alliance with American Airlines and into Delta’s SkyTeam alliance.

Mortgage rates end the year above 5% McLEAN, Va. (AP) — Mortgage rates rose for the fourth straight week, ending the year above 5 percent. The average fixed rate on a 30-year mortgage was 5.14 percent this week, up from 5.05 percent last week, Freddie Mac said Thursday. Mortgage rates are closely tied to yields on longterm government debt. The average fixed rate on 30-year mortgages has steadily risen since hitting a record low of 4.71 percent the week of Dec. 3.

Va. furniture workers on furlough APPOMATTOX, Va. (AP) — An undetermined number of workers at Thomasville Furniture in Appomattox are on a 90-day furlough that could become a permanent layoff. A spokesman for Thomasville’s parent, Furniture Brands International, declined to state how many workers were furloughed earlier in December. He added, however, that a “significant number” of the total work force was affected. According to The News & Advance in Lynchburg, the Virginia Employment Commission reports that Thomasville Furniture has between 250 and 499 employees.

Colorado drops minimum wage DENVER (AP) — Colorado’s minimum wage will drop 3 cents in the new year, marking the first decrease in any state’s minimum wage since the federal minimum was adopted in 1938. Colorado’s wage is dropping from $7.28 an hour to the federal minimum of $7.25. That’s because Colorado is one of 10 states that tie the minimum wage to inflation. The goal is to protect low-wage workers from having flat wages as the cost of living goes up.

Workers sue for unpaid overtime

PITTSBURGH (AP) – Workers in three states sued Pittsburgh-based PPG Industries, saying they’ve wrongly been denied overtime while stocking and servicing Lowe’s home improvement stores that sell PPG’s paints and stains. Additionally, two of the three plaintiffs claim they received unwarranted discipline from PPG after they complained about the overtime issue, and that other workers who have complained have faced similar reprisals. The suit was filed late Wednesday in U.S. District Court, Pittsburgh on behalf of three workers,

one each in New Hampshire, New Jersey and New York. The lawsuit seeks back pay and damages and a federal court order to notify about 165 other PPG workers who do the same job at Lowe’s stores in 40 states so they can join in the lawsuit. “Here people are being asked to work 60 or 70 hours a week, many of them on an annual salary of less than $30,000 a year,” said the plaintiffs’ attorney, Bruce Fox. “How can anyone in America live on that kind of wage? This is another example of the corporate bottom line coming before people.”

New Year’s bonus: Cheap champagne

PARIS (AP) – Partygoers worldwide have at least one good reason to forget the economic pain, job fears and mortgage woes of 2009: unusually cheap Champagne for New Year’s. Champagne houses and retailers have had a tough year, forcing some to make aggressive price cuts. But the discounting is causing divisions among vintners, and analysts warn the move could threaten the bubbly’s premium reputation. In supermarket chains

such as Carrefour SA and Auchan, French shoppers were snapping up real Champagne for less than €10 ($14) a bottle, as even high-end producers such as Laurent Perrier compete with cheaper bubbly such as Italian prosecco and Spanish cava. With Champagne exports plunging, some producers are cutting prices to sell more in France. Large retailers are also taking advantage of the decline to woo recessionweary shoppers during the festive season.

Shine no more: Matte makeup is new trend

WEIGHT CLINIC

---

BY SAMANTHA CRITCHELL AP FASHION WRITER

EW YORK – It’s no longer time for makeup to shine. Top makeup artists say that matte makeup is an evolving beauty trend that should be good news for people of all skin types and tones. Matte doesn’t necessarily mean flat – instead, think of it as sheer or satiny – and it definitely tones down any dewiness or sparkle. “I think it’s going to be a matte world pretty soon,” says Avon’s global color creative director Jillian Dempsey. For this look, which can have a retro vibe, play up the eyes, she suggests. “I think this is the look that works best: matte skin with a little bit of a lined eye, some eye-shadow contrast and maybe some minimal black-brown, soft-lash look.” If you like a darker, vampier look, add a purple or red lip. A more moderate look is a smoky eye and nude matte lip. But, Dempsey warns, the matte skin will ramp up the effect of a heavily made up eye or lip exponentially. There’s also a risk of a matte foundation looking cakey or a lip looking chalky, so moisturizer or lip balm always comes first. But don’t let that scare you off, says Kayleen McAdams, celebrity makeup artist for Dior. “Most people can wear this trend – it’s harder for people to do dewy than matte because if you have oily skin, dewy is too much,” she says. “Just be taking care of your skin.” Start off with an oilfree moisturizer and dab on with your finger a lip balm for a smooth surface. Then, McAdams says, try a lipstick that doesn’t bleed. There have been a lot of improvements in color-cosmetics texture, Dempsey adds, so the products should both look good and feel good. To ease into a matte appearance, especially on the lips, she suggests using a stain or lip liner. Since shine highlights imperfections, Dempsey thinks once people get used to using matte they’ll grow to love it. “This is the secret to hiding a big pimple on your face: You match the color of a powder to the face, press the powder and help it disappear.” Still, Jean Ford, co-founder of Benefit Cosmetics, says you shouldn’t be too literal when it comes to matte in your beauty routine. “A matte complexion does not mean layering on a heavy base,” Ford says. “We all have areas that need spot concealing and require fuller coverage, but not the entirety of the face. Wearing a heavy-solid color all over the skin makes the complexion look lifeless and dull rather than youthful and fresh.”

Local author says, ‘It’s kind of awesome’ to see first novel become reality BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

INTERESTED?

IGH POINT – Dawn Marion Hudgins had always wanted to write a novel, but she needed a story line. “That’s the thing about writing a novel,” the 39-year-old High Point woman says. “You can’t just sit down and start writing – you’ve got to have a story.” And now, she has one. Hudgins, who is originally from Thomasville, is the author of “Without Regret” ($16.95, Alacrity Publishing), a Vietnam War-era tale set in her native Davidson County. The novel is both a murder mystery and love story, Hudgins says, but it started out as something much darker. The project began about two years ago, when a colleague told Hudgins about an intriguing murder that took place in her hometown in eastern North Carolina. According to Hudgins, a woman in that town began having nightmares in which she saw visions of a face in an outhouse basin. When her therapist convinced her to excavate an outhouse on her farm, the excavation revealed two skeletons – one belonging to the woman’s father, the other belonging to his mistress. The two were believed to have left town together many years earlier, but instead they’d been murdered and buried by the woman’s scorned mother. “I told my colleague, ‘That is just the best story – that needs to be in a book,’” Hudgins says. “So

Dawn Marion Hudgins, author of “Without Regret” ($16.95, Alacrity Publishing), has the following book-signings scheduled: • Jan. 8, 7 p.m., Barnes & Noble, 906 Mall Loop Road, High Point. • Jan. 16, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Sunny Sides, 8363 Hwy. 109, Wallburg. • Jan. 23, 5 to 8 p.m., Tommy’s Barbecue, 206 National Highway, Thomasville. • Feb. 13, noon to 3 p.m., Dragonflies, 5870 Samet Drive, High Point. The book is also available online at www.alacritypublish ing.com, www.amazon.com and www.barnesandnoble.com. I began researching the story, and I had trouble finding facts. And then, as I started writing it, I found out that I couldn’t write that story – it was too gruesome. I just couldn’t get into the mind of that woman who had murdered her husband.” Hudgins took some of the basic story elements, though, and then began to let her creativity flow. “I just kind of let the book write itself,” she says. “I would just let the characters take it where they took it. So the story is now completely fiction – it’s nothing like what I had intended to write. It’s still a murder mystery and a love story, and it still takes place on a farm – those elements remained

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– but the actual story is not what I set out to write.” The story Hudgins wrote focuses on a young farm girl named Anna Yokely, who is raised in 1960s Davidson County by her father. The plot evolves when the two young men in her life are drafted to serve in the Vietnam War. “It’s a story about human nature and what some people will do to make sure they do what’s right, and what some others will do to do what’s in their own best interest, not caring about who they step on along the way,” Hudgins says. In her book, Hudgins incorporates several Thomasville establishments – Tommy’s Barbecue and Todd’s Seafood, for example – as well as real communities in Davidson County, such as Hog Eye and Slimy Corner. Hudgins says she has received nothing but positive feedback from those who have read “Without Regret.” She’s also the author of a series of children’s books titled “The Continuing Adventures of Timothy Glean,” but getting her novel published has been especially rewarding. “Once you hold it in your hand, it’s kind of awesome,” she says. And now, she’s got plenty of stories to tell. “I’m working on two more books at the same time,” she says, “and I keep an idea book with other story ideas.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

“That Queen of Diamonds thinks she’s the best player in Wonderland,” the Queen of Hearts confided to Alice. “She also thinks the ice cubes are what make the refrigerator cold.” As the game at the Mad Hatter’s went on, the Red Queens, who were kibitzing, grew more contentious. When Alice sat West in today’s deal, she led the queen of hearts against the March Hare’s four spades. “Good!” roared the Queen of Hearts. “You can’t go wrong by leading me.” “Especially when she has the ace and king also,” sighed the Queen of Diamonds. “What will you lead next, child?”

THIRD CLUB Heeding the Queen’s pointed gaze, Alice led the queen of diamonds, and South was doomed. He won with dummy’s king, took the A-K of trumps and started the clubs. East, the Dormouse, ruffed the third club and returned a diamond through the Hare’s J-8 to Alice’s A-9. Only the shift to the queen of diamonds would beat the contract. “At least I won a trick

and she didn’t,” growled the Queen of Hearts. DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A K 9 3 H 9 D K 7 2 C K Q 10 7 4. Your partner opens one heart, and the next player passes. What do you say? ANSWER: Many players would err by bidding one spade. To respond in the major suit would be correct with a substantially weaker hand, but here you have enough strength for several bids, hence the natural-looking response of two clubs is correct. If partner rebids two hearts, you’ll continue economically with two spades.

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.

Home Tour, Good Friends help good causes T

his has been a challenging year for nonprofit agencies. Former donors have become clients. Still, there is that beacon of hope. Good Friends and the YWCA are two organizations who strive to provide that beacon. The YWCA Home Tour and the Good Friends Luncheon are two events that raise money and bring hope ABOUT for those in TOWN need. My friend Mary Heidi Bogest Majors is ■■■ ■■■ the executive director for the YWCA (a partner agency of United Way) of High Point. Believe me, she has that place jumping with so many programs involving youth services, women’s services, aquatics, Baby basics, The Women’s Resource Center, which includes the Career Closet and the Pottery Studio. All of these programs need help through your donations or time as a volunteer. This is the seventh year for the Holiday Home Tour. The first home that I went to was that of Bob and Dian Rowan. There was a beautifully theme-decorated tree in every room. How did she keep all of those ornaments organized? How did she get all of that patience? I oohed and aahed and then saw the Christmas village. I was dazzled. Then I headed next door to Charlie and Ann Lynch’s home. Ann has been a supporter of the YWCA for almost 30 years and her enthusiasm has remained unwavering. That alone speaks volumes about the YWCA. Ann looked radiant as the perfect hostess greeting the tour“ists” with a plateful of cookies and a hot drink. Next, it was on to Willow Creek and the home of Susan Beck, another beautiful display of Christmas. I met Beck when she was a designer for the YWCA’s earlier fundraiser, “A Perfect Setting.” Hot apple cider brewed on her back porch as Christmas carols and brightly lit trees enchanted us all. Just across the street was the holiday tour home of Tom and Judy Dayvault. Word has it that both Judy and Beck stayed up late into the evening and phoned back and forth, “How much more decorating do you have to do?” They both got it done and both looked great without a hint of lack of sleep. Here is a note to Tom (Dayvault) from me … I’m sorry but I just can’t resist mentioning your “man-cave.” I think that Chief of Police Jim Fealy gets the recognition for naming Tom’s room, which sports a pool table and memorabilia such as a football signed by

Joe Namath! Their home looked beautiful. The final stop for the YWCA Holiday Home Tour was Willow View Farm owned by John and Marybeth Grein. The home replicates the 1755 Gunston Hall built on the banks of the Potomac River 20 miles south of Washington, D.C., by George Mason, author of the Virginia Bill of Rights. This house exudes a certain splendor which was emanated by the original home. Even the barn was splendid with separate living quarters. I did not want to leave. At tours end, I discovered many decorating ideas for the coming year and look forward to next year’s YWCA Tour. Meanwhile, the annual meeting for the YWCA is on Jan. 27 at the High Point Country Club. Call 336-882-7980 for more information. Everyone needs a good friend and for those who need a helping hand, often they need “Good Friends.” “Good Friends” is a nonprofit organization which was brought to High Point from Charlotte by Katherine Covington 13 years ago and has raised almost $420,000. They provide financial assistance to those who are needy or disadvantaged and are given to the Community Clinic of High Point and the newly formed Community Resource Network. The annual fundraising luncheon is one of those special events that brings

awareness to the needs in our community. The “reason for the season” emanated from cheerful Christmas sweaters (Judy Mendenhall and myself) and other fashions of the season. This was in anticipation of Santa’s helpers (Amo Kearns, Tyler Covington, Braden Covington and George Ragsdale) filling their bags with donations from the caring friends. This year my friend Barbara Frye, vice president of children’s initiatives at United Way, took on an additional initiative to be the chairman of the luncheon. One of the things that endears this fundraiser to so many is that members of our community go out and meet with some of the recipients of Good Friends and then speak and tell of that visit at the luncheon. With no exception, these are heart-rendering stories that leave many with the feeling, “there, for the grace of God go I.” This year, it was Mary Powell DeLille (Carol Young’s daughter), the Rev. Sue Gamelin and Sarah Kemm who spoke. Barbara Coughlin gave the invocation. How impressive is this … She graduated law school and then graduated from Duke Divinity School. I didn’t know that. DeLille spoke of “Ann,” whose husband died young of a genetic heart illness and she was left with four children. As the children grew into adulthood, they developed the same disease. The medical bills left her homeless. There were days the cupboard was bare. Good Friends gave her money for her utility bill thus keeping the domino effect of falling further and further behind from happening. Gamelin is known to many for serving both at Emmanuel Lutheran Church and her work at Open Door Ministries as Pastor Sue (that’s what I call her).

Through the process, she lost her home and ended up with Interfaith Hospitality Network through Helping Hands. “That was a great time. We had food, a place to sleep. We felt safe.” After finding their own apartment, Good Friends helped with rent and utilities. “I want the best for my grandchildren,” she told Pastor Sue. Kemm told of the success of the Community Clinic having served over

6,100 patients last year. Kemm gave special praise to Dr. Mike Hussey as the “guardian angel” of the clinic. As you may know, Hussey volunteers countless hours to the Community Clinic and recently was honored with the clinic’s “Puttin’ on the Grits” fundraiser being dedicated to him. Since 2004, Good Friends has given almost $100,000 to the Community Clinic for medicines. Good Friends is much more than just a good

friend to our community. More congrats to High Pointer Leah Price, campaign chairwoman for the United Way of Greater High Point. It was Price who initiated the recent LIVE UNITED. GIVE UNITED Telethon to benefit United Ways throughout the Piedmont. Still fundraising gaps remain. Call 883-1077 to GIVE UNITED!
