Homicides lowest in 20 years BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Despite predictions that crime would rise during a bad economy, High Point reported a sharp decline in homicides last year. After 11 slayings in 2008, only three took place in 2009 – the lowest homicide tally in at least 20 years, according to High Point police. Other cities across the country also saw declines, as violent crime continued to trend downward. “Some of these results may be related to what’s going on elsewhere, but they’re not down this

The department has refined its approach to targeting violent criminals, ex-offenders, probationers and others who get notified by the Violent Crimes Task Force as part of a deterrence strategy. Fealy said having a detective assigned to the task force full time has had an impact. He also pointed to the work of High Point Community Against Violence Executive Director Jim Summey as instrumental in helping to focus on the people who need to hear the task force message that combines being

confronted by authorities while simultaneously offered assistance from the community at quarterly police department “callins.” “We’ve fine-tuned who needs calling in,” he said. “We’ve gotten pretty good at identifying who is likely to commit the next violent act.” The strategy has become “ingrained in the organization,” said police Maj.

Trinity tackles truck ordinance at retreat BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The Trinity City Council will revisit a controversial ordinance surrounding the parking of tractor-trailers in residential neighborhoods. Following a hour-long discussion during its annual retreat at the Courtyard Marriott in High Point on Saturday, the City Council directed staff to rework the ordinance that prohibited truck drivers from parking their tractor-trailers on their own property in residential neighborhoods. A moratorium was placed on the ordinance during a October preagenda meeting until the fol-

lowing month’s meeting, where the City Council decided to table the ordinance until its retreat. The ordinance, which was approved in August, prohibited the parking of large trucks – including cab and trailer, cab only and/ or trailers – in residential neighborhoods. The ordinance also prohibited the parking of large trucks on any public street unless in the process of loading and unloading. Despite some opposition from City Council members, the governing body formed a consensus to rework the ordinance based on suggestions from staff. Under the proposal, trucks and trailers will not be allowed to park

in R-20, R-12 and RM zoning districts on local street frontage and corner lots abutting local street frontage. Residents in R-20, R-12 and RM who have major or minor street frontage would be allowed to park one truck only on their property, but it would be required to be screened from view. Those living in residential agricultural districts (more than 2.5 acres) that have local, major or minor street frontage would be allowed to park one truck and trailer per property if the two are screened from view. “I think this is the most balanced proposal brought forth yet as far as taking all things into consideration,” Councilman Ty-

ler Earnst said. “You are defining neighborhoods. For me, that was the important thing.” The issue of parking tractortrailers has been controversial in Trinity, drawing a standing-roomonly crowd at the City Council’s September meeting. Five citizens attended Saturday’s retreat to hear the discussion on the ordinance but were not permitted to speak because the meeting was a work session. Adam Stumb, the city’s planning and zoning administrator, said staff may have a ordinance for the City Council’s consideration in February. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Locally, officials cited the increased capacity of the High Point Community Against Violence as a factor in the homicide decline. Executive Director Jim Summey completed his first full year in the post. “He was able to do a lot more in the area of connecting with the right kind of offender, but in addition to that, we’ve done little initiatives throughout the year, where we would have a neighborhood response – very focused things in the right places where we see trends,” said police Maj. Marty Sumner.

Feb. 11 – Christopher Bridges, 30, of High Point, was found lying on a bedroom floor with a gunshot wound to the chest by officers responding to a robbery-in-progress call at 503 Cable St. Wendell Charles Caldwell, 39, of High Point, was charged with murder. Aug. 22 – Joseph McClease McMannus, 31, of High Point, was found lying in the street at the intersection of Friendly Avenue and Hickory Chapel Road by officers responding to a shooting call at 227 Friendly Ave. McMannus was one of five people shot following an argument at the house. Several people who were at the scene were later charged with possession of a firearm by a felon but no one has been charged in connection with McMannus’ homicide. Dec. 21 – Kinitez Dante Gilbert, 19, of High Point, was found lying in the roadway of the 300 block of Ennis Street by officers responding to a shooting call.

PITTSBORO – The Chatham County Sheriff’s Office has charged two brothers who lived in Raleigh with the first-degree murder of a 33-year-old man last September. On Sept. 15, a passing motorist saw a mobile home on fire at 638 Mitchell’s Chapel Rd., located northwest of Pittsboro just past the 64 Bypass. After firefighters extinguished the fire, they found the body of a man, who was later identified as Martin Catalan Uriostegui. Sheriff and fire investigators determined that Uriostegui had been shot in the head with a small caliber gun and that the fire had been intentionally set in order to cover up the homicide. The N.C. State Bureau of Investigation assisted Chatham County deputies with the investigation, and charged Manuel Nunez Garcia, 23, and his brother, Luis Antonio-Nunez Garcia, 33, of Raleigh, with murder.

Swiss court fines speeding millionaire $290,000 ST. GALLEN, Switzerland (AP) – A Swiss court has slapped a wealthy speeder with a chalet-sized fine – a full $290,000. Judges at the cantonal court in St. Gallen, in eastern Switzerland, based the recordbreaking fine on the speeder’s estimated

wealth of over $20 million. A statement on the court’s Web site says the driver – a repeat offender – drove up to 35 miles an hour (57 kilometers an hour) faster than the 50-mile-an-hour (80-kilometer-an-hour) limit. Court clerk Heidi Baumann-Becker said

Thursday the unidentified driver can appeal the decision, handed down in November, to the Swiss supreme court. The Blick daily newspaper in Zurich reported the fine was more than twice the previous Swiss record of about $107,000.

BURLINGTON – As a military wife, Ann Kernodle knows there will be times when her husband, Michael, a sergeant with the National Guard, will be gone for months at a time. But saying goodbye never gets easier. “It’s hard,” 44-yearold Kernodle said as she fought back the tears. “He was packing his shaving kit this morning and it was hard.” By the look on the faces of the other wives, mothers, sons and daughters who braced the cold for a chance to kiss and hug their loved ones Friday morning, it was clear this farewell was hard for everybody. Like Kernodle, of Alamance County, they had come to the National Guard Armory to say goodbye to the nearly 50 soldiers with the A Company 30th Brigade Special Troops Battalion before they boarded two buses and left Burlington headed to Camp Atterbury in Edinburgh, Ind. Though the soldiers will stay stateside for 60 to 90 more days, Friday was the last day they were able to spend with their families as they prepare for a tour of duty in Afghanistan that will likely last 10 months.

The local company is the only National Guard military intelligence unit in the state and about half its members are from the Alamance County area. In all, about 70 men and women will be involved in gathering and analyzing intelligence from civilians, signals and unmanned aircraft. Guardsmen and their women spent the last minutes prior to departing renewing promises of love and assuring their loved ones of a safe return. “That’s what I am looking for,” a teary-eyed Betty Tucker, 55, said as she waved goodbye to her 24year-old son who was on one of the buses. The Mocksville resident preferred not to identify her son for safety reasons. She said that though this is his second tour of duty, saying goodbye this time around was as hard as the first. “I want him to get his job done and get back home,” she said. For Michael Kernodle, 39, this too was his second tour of duty. The goodbyes for him also get harder, particularly as his family keeps getting bigger. When he left for Iraq in 2003, his son Gabriel was 7 weeks old. Now Gabriel is age 6. Meanwhile, Kernodle’s wife’s son, DavidVaughn, and his wife, Amanda, also have a 4year-old.

Probe of Charlotte officer expands Man faces arson, Two more women accuse former policeman of sexual assault MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Calling their investigation “massive,� Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said they expect to charge a former officer with sexually assaulting two more women during traffic stops – and are investigating several other allegations of misconduct. That brings to five the number of women who say they were sexually assaulted by Officer Marcus Jackson, who was on patrol for

just six months before the allegations began rolling in and he was fired. Jackson, 25, a former Harding High football player and UNC Charlotte graduate, was arrested Dec. 30 and charged initially with two assaults in a case that has ballooned into one of the department’s most consuming internal investigations – and one that Chief Rodney Monroe says has dishonored the police force. Monroe declined to be interviewed Friday, but a lead investigator described the latest allegations, as well as the department’s efforts to scrutinize Jackson’s activities while on patrol. Three days after Christmas about 11 p.m., police said, Jackson stopped

Police say the women, both 21, accused Jackson of touching their “private parts.� As a result, police say, they have recommended that prosecutors charge Jackson with sexual battery. Jackson has already been charged with sexually assaulting three other women – one of them twice – between Nov. 2 and Dec. 29. Two of those women are Latino. The other is a black teenager. Jackson is accused of forcing the 17-year-old to perform oral sex. The other women say they were fondled, according to police.

Police charged a 58year-old man Friday with setting a predawn fire at a southwest Charlotte condo where two women had to be rescued. Investigators believe the suspect was motivated by “relationship problems.� Stephen Anthony O’Brien has been charged with one count of felony arson, said Charlotte Fire Department Spokesman Capt. Rob Brisley. Anthony was in Mecklenburg County jail. He had also been charged with assault on a female and second-degree rape. Police have not released more details on that crime. His bond had been set at $75,000. Charlotte firefighters rescued one woman from a third-floor balcony. Brisley said the fire was started outside

that woman’s condo, but didn’t say whether she was targeted. Another woman was rescued inside a neighboring home. In all, fire damaged nine units of the Emerald Point Condominiums, causing $500,000 in damage, investigators say. The fire was reported shortly before 5 a.m. Friday at the condos off Shopton Road West, not far from the Catawba River. Firefighters found flames and smoke when they arrived at the threestory structure. Residents and firefighters pounded on doors of the 18-unit building, alerting people to the danger. Residents, some in bathrobes, gathered in the parking lot and watched crews battle the flames. “We just grabbed clothes and ran out the door,� Chris Sizer told WCNC-TV, the Observer’s news partner.

Frozen Europe: 100s of flights canceled in Germany BERLIN (AP) – A plane slid off an icy runway and powerful winds and heavy snow forced hundreds of flight cancellations across Europe on Saturday as blasts of freezing cold buffeted Europe. An Air Berlin plane slid off the runway in Nuremberg, Germany, and got stuck in the snow late Friday. Nobody was injured, but the airport was closed for more than two hours. More than 300 car accidents were reported on

icy streets in the southwestern state of BadenWuerttemberg, with more than 40 people injured. The western state of North Rhine-Westphalia reported 108 accidents. At the German-French border near Freiburg, hundreds of trucks were stuck for hours when French authorities closed the highway because of heavy snow. The Red Cross handed out blankets and hot soup to the drivers.

Pennybyrn resident Norene Hunt starts each day with Yoga, and credits it with keeping her back pain-free. She also attends exercise classes, swims and walks daily. “With everything under one roof, it’s easy to stay active here.

O’Brien may find door open at Fox LOS ANGELES (AP) – If “Tonight Show� host Conan O’Brien decides to leave NBC over its proposed late-night lineup revamp, he might find a warm welcome waiting for him at Fox. Fox res p e c t s O’Brien’s O’Brien talent and sees him as a good fit, a person at the network said Friday. The person, who lacked authority to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, said Fox was watching to see how the situation played out but that O’Brien remained under contract with NBC. Faced with poor ratings for both “The Jay Leno Show� and O’Brien’s show, the network is said to be considering returning Leno to his 11:35 p.m. EST slot and moving “Tonight� to midnight. Representatives for O’Brien did not immediately respond to requests for comment about his plans.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats told President Barack Obama they want the legislation to strip the industry of a long-standing exemption from federal antitrust laws, officials said.

Overdue payment Luncheon helps disabled veterans receive their unfulfilled benefits BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Arthur Allen has the scrap metal in his hips to prove that he served in World War II, but he didn’t receive military benefits from the federal government until this year. Allen, who was a member of the Buffalo Soldiers, one of the all-black regiments in the U.S. Army, joined a group of disabled veterans like himself at Highland United Methodist Church yesterday for a veteran’s luncheon and a chance to

learn more about receiving military benefits. “At this meeting, we really focus on veterans that have been disenfranchised from the process of getting their benefits,” said Wanda Autrey, sixth district commander for the North Carolina Disabled Veteran’s Association. “Especially for black men who served in World War II, they were disconnected from the system.” The meetings, held quarterly at the church, are organized by church member Kay Spangler, whose husband is a World War II veteran.

Feline fanciers flock to annual all-breeds show BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The Central Carolina Cat Fanciers’ annual all breed cat show was an opportunity to see something different and to escape the cold on Saturday for Sheree Fitzgerald and her 9year-old son, Eddie. “We thought this would be something different and fun to do,” Fitzgerald said. “We really wanted to see the kitties.” The two joined numerous spectators attending the show, which featured over 200 cats from about 90 exhibitors. The show was held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Best Western Hotel on S. Main Street and will be held the same time today. Teresa Keiger, spokesperson for CCCF, said the show had drawn a large audience from the general public as well as a large group of exhibitors. “We’ve really found a nice gate here,” she said. “All of our exhibitors showed up despite the chilly weather. We’ve had a lot of spectators, too.” Keiger said exhibitors had come from numerous

A Siamese cat breeder for more than 25 years, Carole Young traveled from Columbus, Ohio, to enter her cat into the show. She said she began participating in shows after she retired as a truck driver 12 years ago and now travels the country showing her cats. “We all (exhibitors) like hotel shows because they are convenient,” said Young, who was lodging at the hotel during her stay. “So far, the show has been nice.” The cats were judged based on a point system that could qualify them for regional or national recognition. For Eddie Fitzgerald, the variety of cats made the show so unique. “It’s really cool because I’ve never seen so many different cats,” he said. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Former president of Howard, Shaw universities dies WASHINGTON (AP) — James E. Cheek, who served as Howard University’s president for 20 years and oversaw major expansions at the school, has died. He was 77. University spokesman Ron Harris said Cheek died Friday at a hospital in Greensboro, N.C. Cheek died after a long illness, said Tanya Wiley, spokeswoman for Shaw University where Cheek earlier served as president. Cheek presided over the historically black Howard University from 1968 to 1989. During that time, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, in 1983.

“Dr. Cheek’s vision and passion for the university and his view of Howard as a national treasure led to bold action, which eventually resulted in a dramatic boost in our budget with increased federal support,” current Howard University President Sidney Ribeau said in a statement. During Cheek’s tenure, the university’s enrollment increased by 6,000 students, and its budget soared from $43 million to $417 million. The school founded the nation’s first black-owned public television station, created WHUR radio, established a School of Business and built Howard University Hospital. Cheek also ex-

Gumby animator Art Clokey dies at 88 in California LOS OSOS, Calif. (AP) — Animator Art Clokey, whose bendable creation Gumby became a pop culture phenomenon through decades of toys, revivals and satires, died Friday. He was 88. Clokey, who suffered from repeated bladder infections, died in his sleep at his home in Los Osos on California’s Central Coast, son Joseph told the Los Angeles Times. Gumby grew out of a student project Clokey produced at the University of Southern California in the early 1950s called “Gumbasia.” That led to his making shorts featuring Gumby and his horse friend Pokey for the “Howdy Doody Show” and several series through the years. He said he based Gumby’s swooping head on the cowlick hairdo of his father, who died in a car accident when Clokey was a boy. And Clokey’s wife suggested he give Gumby the body of a gingerbread man. Clokey said that though Gumby eventually became one of the most familiar toys of all time, he was at first resistant to roll out the bendable doll. “I didn’t allow merchandising for seven years after it was on the air,” Clokey told San Luis Obispo Tribune in 2002, “because I was very idealistic, and I didn’t want parents to think we were trying to exploit their children.” Clokey also created the moralizing and often satirized claymation duo “Davey and Goliath.” The Lutheran Church hired Clokey to make the “Davey and Goliath” shorts, and Clokey used the money to help bring a Gumby series back to

Gumby creator Art Clokey shows that the inspiration for the shape of Gumby’s head came from the hair style of his Father Arthur Farrington pictured on the wall in the background at his home in Los Osos, Calif. Clokey, whose bendable creation became a pop culture phenomenon through countless satires, toys and revivals, died Friday. television in the 1960s. Eddie Murphy brought a surge in Gumby’s popularity in the 1980s with his send-up of the character on “Saturday Night Live” as a cigarsmoking show business primadonna. Clokey said he enjoyed Murphy’s profane Gumby. “Gumby can laugh at himself,” Clokey told the Tribune. Murphy’s Gumby brought new toy sales and eventually led to a new syndicated series starting in 1988. It was only then that Clokey started seeing serious financial returns on his creation. “It took 40 years,” he said.

SNOW HILL – Misdemeanor charges filed against 39-year-old Ronnie Christopher “Chris” Roberson, Greene County’s assistant county manager, were dismissed Thursday. Charges against Roberson included assault on a female and interfere with emergency communication. Roberson’s wife, Shanna Johnson Roberson, filed the complaint with the Greene County Sheriff’s Office

Game Day helps Family Service raise funds N

ext week, I will bare all and tell of my New Year’s Resolutions. This week, I am still catching up on some of the holiday festivities. It was a very busy Friday for Jody Susong, director of marketing and development for Family Service of the Piedmont, and Susong’s sister Toye Payne, who serves on the board of directors for Hospice of the Piedmont, and myself. First, we started with the YWCA Holiday Tour of Homes, which I told ABOUT you about TOWN recently. Mary From there, Bogest with the help of Susong’s very adventurous and creative GPS system, we made our way from Willow Creek in High Point to the Greensboro Country Club for the Annual Game Day Luncheon hosted by the Greensboro Guild of Family Service. Normally, I don’t tell you about events in Greensboro since the “Townâ€? in my column “About Townâ€? is High Point, but I want to tell you about this event because it is a creative and successful fundraising idea and the 30 programs offered to help families helps families throughout all of the Piedmont. On a personal note, my painting “For Love of Familyâ€? was used for the invitations for this event. The Holiday Game Day began as a tradition of a luncheon followed by bridge or Mah Jong, but in time it has evolved primarily as a time for a “holiday gathering around the table.â€? In addition to a delicious luncheon served by the Greensboro Country Club, the Fresh Market and The Extra Ingredient gave cooking demonstrations for gourmet specialties that are easy to make and would delight the tastes of all guests. Gift ideas were also presented and after the luncheon sampling of wines and the specialties were offered. There was also storytelling by Dinny Sisley and lots of door prizes. The highlight of the luncheon was the testimonial of a former client who is now owner of her own successful business (yes, even in this economic climate) and a donor to Family Service. “Mariaâ€? left her native Cuba as a refugee in 1995. By 1997, as a result of domestic violence, she found herself alone as a single mom to an 18-month-old son. “I remember one day I came home from work â– â– â–

High Point Guild of Family Service of the Piedmont President Emilee Brigman (seated) helped to surprise Cathy Purvis (back row, second from left) with the dedication of the newly renovated interview rooms at Hope House. Cathy’s family helped to surprise her (left to right) son-in-law John Foster, Cathy, daughter Sarah Foster and Cathy’s husband Al Purvis with grandchildren Jack and Lucy Foster. and I opened the refrigerator. There was no milk. There were no eggs. There was no food. It would be few days before payday. I was already dealing with depression from my failed marriage. I went to Family Service. I got counseling for my finances and for my depression. I became a different person. I was able to get a better job.� Everyone was mesmerized as they looked at this well-dressed business woman who spoke very well but seemed a bit ill at ease, “I don’t like to tell my victim’s story,� she said. “But I hope that my story can help other young single moms. I believe that to be happy is a human right. Thanks to Family Service, I am happy. Helping individuals helps the community at large,� she added. Feeling the holiday spirit Susong, Payne and I headed back to High Point where we briefly stopped at Kits Co. for their open house. Owners Ginger Lett and Becky Hunter are always so welcoming. We were only able to stay and chat a few minutes before going to the Slane Center, which serves as the High Point headquarters for the (Family Service) United Way partner agency. We were on a top secret mission ... at least we hoped it had remained top secret. The second floor of the Family Service Slane Center houses the nationally accredited Hope House Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC). The

purpose of this center is to provide children who have been abused (physical and/or sexual) or have witnessed abuse a child-friendly environment to tell their story as well as the resources to heal. As we walk up the stairs, I feel sadness for those children who have also walked these stairs. On the landing, there is a button jar filled with hundreds of buttons, unique in shape, unique in color unique in size. Accompanying this jar is a sign for the children that reads, “Every button in the Button Jar is unique just like a child is unique and different in his or her own way. Please choose a button from the pot below and place it in the Button House in honor of you!� There are two interview rooms, one for younger and the other for older children for forensic questioning regarding abuse. Both were in need of a Ty Pennington-style makeover. The Family Service Guild of High Point quickly stepped up to the task initiated by Sarah Foster. But there is more to this story – much more. The two interview rooms, now wonderfully colorful and child friendly, were to be dedicated to a very special person, a person who made the High Point Hope House Children’s Advocacy Center possible. That person was Foster’s mother Cathy Purvis, who with the help of benefactor David Hayworth, put High Point on the cutting edge of children’s welfare by establishing the CAC.

NUMA F. REID

Purvis, formerly of Family Service and now executive director of the Children’s Advocacy Centers for North Carolina, established Hope House in 1990 as the first accredited CAC in all of North Carolina. During her 20 years at Family Service, her dedication to the welfare of children was monumental. She has served on the National Children’s Alliance, the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children and the NC Pediatric Society Committee on Child Abuse and Neglect among others. These two forensic interview rooms are important to both inves-

tigation and prosecution. Both have hidden cameras and via closedcircuit television record each interview. These confidential recordings help the team members, which often include Child Protective Service Workers, medical and mental health workers, law enforcement investigators and special CAC staff provided by Family Service. This prevents the child from having to repeat his or her story multiple times. Purvis’ family including her husband Al, daughter Sarah Foster and her husband John, their children Jack and Lucy (baby James

America needs real change, not just talk of it We have seen and heard a lot of changes that have happened and are going to happen. We have seen the return of a word that had been banned since Jan. 20, 2009. The word “terrorist” is now allowed in place of “enemy combatant” after we almost lost 300 people at Christmas to a nut. We are sure to have a health care plan passed that I would bet no one in this reading audience, or Congress, has even read or could possibly understand. We have Democrats bailing out of running for re-election. Like a successful terrorist, those Democrats will have done their job and rammed a health care plan through that they will not have to live with. They will be praised in the hereafter for their job well-done and the sacrifices they made – and the bill they left your children. Another thing that voters need to watch for. Don’t fall for the Tea Party Movement that has started. Remember that a thirdparty movement is what put Bill Clinton in office. What we need to do is do away with the party system and vote on candidates for what they want for the country’s good. Have just people, and stop the bickering and the sure destruction of this country by politicians depending

on social programs and earmarks for votes. Remember one thing – someone has to work to pay these bills. We cannot survive if all of us decide to quit work and use public funds to survive. The government cannot give you one cent until it has taken it from someone. The government has your money. If you work or have ever worked, you have felt the sting. Throw all politicians out, and their perks, and start over in the next six years. Go to a national sales tax and let everyone pay. KEN SAWYER High Point

Community volunteers are valuable, irreplaceable assets A good volunteer is someone who fills in for you and gives you a much-needed day off from work. Saturday, Jan. 2, was such a day! I needed to be off! Of all days for our store to be robbed, this was the day the robber picked and the day I would have had a heart attack if I had been there. The robber came in, ordered our volunteer to the back of our store where our office is located, knocked her down and tied her up

and left with around $100. It was all that we had made for the day. He also broke open our donation jar taking all of that money. Our volunteer managed to knock the phone off the desk back in our office with her hands tied and dialed 9-1-1. What does $100 mean to Seven Homes? It can provide transportation for a week for our children to attend family visits, medical appointments; or it could provide recreational activities for the children to participate in. What does a volunteer mean to Seven Homes, everything! We can replace $100, but we can’t replace volunteers who give of their time and heart to help the children we serve. We are so grateful for our volunteers and the work that they do. SHIRLEY MAXWELL High Point The writer is manager of Seven Homes Community Thrift Store.

they could depend for reliable (and usually verifiable) information. My wife Betty Lou, during her 16 years as a reporter and editor, had a knack for digging out often hard-to-get information and discovering OPINION stories many other reporters missed. She still uses Tom that talent to provide story Blount ideas for the Enterprise. ■■■ Four decades ago, when her beat included a number of small towns in western Pennsylvania (with populations running from a hundred or so to a couple of thousand), she often, as deadlines neared, called the village barbershop, beauty parlor, police station or gas station to get a lead on what was happening (or about to happen) or the final piece of information needed to complete a story. Reporters seemed to have more time then to talk to people face-to-face, observing their body language and other mannerisms and how those changed the more nervous a source became or the closer the reporter’s questions got to the heart of the story. While some unsavory reporters would outright lie to get access to and information from people, places and things, more reputable reporters would find other subtle ways to get into the right spot to cover a story better and more thoroughly than the competition. I recall vividly, while working for a western Pennsylvania newspaper and covering a series of bank robberies (11 in 18 months, presumably by the same person), often getting into the middle of the crime scene because of mistaken identity. A county detective, who usually was trying to get fingerprints off the doors to the banks that had just been robbed when I arrived, would open the door and allow me to enter because he was under the impression that (because of my dress, demeanor and crew cut) I was a plain clothes officer for the Pennsylvania State Police. I never told him that I was. Perhaps someone else did. Anyway, it always frustrated reporters from the competing paper when they would arrive at the bank, 20 minutes or so after it had been robbed and spot me inside, when they were barred from crossing the “line.” Good reporters employed good old-fashioned legwork then; good reporters today still use good old-fashioned legwork as well as the Internet and all the other resources technology provides today. Many of those books we used as resources years ago now are online.

ot wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, as the cliche goes, we are thankful that two of the 34 contracts totaling more than $107 million awarded for highway and bridge projects across North Carolina will benefit Guilford and Forsyth counties. One local contract is for resurfacing and reconstructing the shoulder of 7.5 miles of U.S. 421 and 2.6 miles of Old U.S. 421 in Guilford County and another is for replacing the bridge on University Parkway over 20th Street in Winston-Salem. That work needs to be done, and the schedule calls for both projects to be completed this fall. We also agree with local governments who argue that the Triad gets shortchanged when it comes to large transportation projects, and that the state’s formula needs drastic updating. City councils for High Point and Thomasville are among bodies that have passed a resolution in support of evaluating and revising the transportation equity formula. It’s obvious, even to the casual observer, that North Carolina has become much more urban – with three large and eight smaller metropolitan regions – over the last two decades. It simply doesn’t make sense to keep distributing funds for transportation improvement using a decadesold formula concocted when the state still was largely rural and most residents lived outside cities and towns. The formula hinders funding of major projects such as replacement of the 55-year-old Interstate 85 bridge over the Yadkin River and widening a 6.8-mile stretch of that expressway near the Davidson-Rowan county line at a cost of $450 million. The local Department of Transportation division doesn’t have the money, the state claims it doesn’t have the money and attempts to get funding from the federal stimulus package, which appeared to be geared to just such projects. A decision in Washington is expected this month. Certainly, the I-85 bridge isn’t the only effort folks in the Triad should be pushing, not with a high volume of the area’s roads and bridges in need of repair or replacement. But it is ranked No. 8 on the state’s list of bridges in the worst condition, is part of a primary corridor for the eastern seaboard and the cost of replacement has nearly doubled in just the last three years. If it falls, the cost will be much greater.

OUR VIEW

y adopted grandson, Danny Kim, was about 7 or 8 in the early 1980s, when he and his dad watched the “Winds of War” television special. The next day, as he accompanied me on a trip back to the newspaper office for a brief but necessary night-time visit, Danny worked American Indian wars into our conversation. Remembering something he had seen in “Winds of War,” he asked me, “Why didn’t the cavalry just fly over the Indians and bomb them?” I explained it couldn’t because most of the Indian wars took place a quarter of a century or more before the Wright Flyer became the first powered, heavier-than-air machine to achieve controlled, sustained flight with a pilot aboard on Dec. 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk. Paul B. Johnson, a reporter for The High Point Enterprise with 25 years of experience, was asked a question during a conversation with a 20-something the other day that again reflects on how different two eras in journalism are – the one before the Internet and the ever-changing one that has developed since. The person asked Johnson how reporters did research for stories before the Internet provided almost instant access. Current conditions (economic and otherwise) being what they are, and with most journalists being asked to do more with less, the Internet has become an efficient method of doing research (although verifying much of the information one can pull from the Internet may take back some of the time saved in doing what we used to call digging). In those “old” (pre-Internet) days, reporters used a variety of resources, both to gain information and to verify, or “check out,” information sources had given them. Johnson noted that some of them were: encyclopedias (especially for basic factual and historical information); a wide range of trade publications; business reference books such as “Hoover’s Handbook” with profiles of corporations, nonprofits, etc.; the newspaper clip files and/or microfilm (which we still use when someone older dies, such as former Archdale Mayor Lloyd Taylor or the Rev. Delia Higgins). Then, reporters would check the “World Almanac” or one of the copy cats that resembled/imitated it, city directories, phone books, “Who’s Who in America,” “North Carolina Manual,” “The Yearbook of Experts, Authorities & Spokespersons,” “The American Wholesalers Distribution Directory,” atlases, history books, high school and college yearbooks, the public library and all it had to offer, and, of course, people in the community on which

COMMENTARY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, JANUARY 10, 2010 www.hpe.com

5B

The year has arrived for reforming ABC system

N

orth Carolina has many sacred cows; some of them have become quite fat feeding at the public trough. Such is the case with our antiquated ABC system, but the very mention of reform sends many folks into resistance mode, even as facts clearly demonstrate a need to change the 1937 laws. The 163 local ABC boards and employees are quick to say they don’t want reform. They like the power to pay employees more in salaries and bonuses than the governor, most doctors and practically every other government employee. Even when the local board loses money, employees

often receive pay increases and/or bonuses. Local board members also enjoy being wined and dined by liquor companies. MY SPIN The unfortunate truth is that too Tom few county ABC Campbell boards make any ■■■ profit, and those that do show paltry returns despite a 39 percent markup on each bottle and an exclusive license to sell liquor. Local government officials oppose reform because they fear the loss of control and revenue if the state assumes more

authority or even privatizes liquor sales. But they have exercised too little control for too long. Accountability and efficiency at the local level are obviously missing elements in most counties. Others oppose reform, especially privatization, on moral grounds. They predict that we will see liquor stores popping up in fast food restaurants, Laundromats and such places. The evils of demon rum would be the ruination of this great state. Many of them sang the same songs in opposition to liquor by the drink. But that dog won’t hunt. North Carolina lost the final battle in the moral high

ground war in 2005 when the state sponsored legalized gambling. The case for reform doesn’t hinge on whether or not to have liquor. We had that discussion and have moved on. The issue now is how to control, sell, maximize revenues to government and make the system more accountable. We have a good system for controlling and selling beer and wine in this state, a system that works efficiently and provides good revenues to local governments. We have pretty good laws concerning the control and sale of prescription drugs, and despite where you stand on the issue, we demonstrated this

past week that we can control smoking. Why not liquor? Increased tax revenues, fewer public employees, fewer buildings for taxpayers to maintain, greater competition, more accountability and more effective laws are plenty sufficient reasons for North Carolina to reform our alcohol beverage control system. Why not liquor reform? Why not now?

Take ’em out, now President Obama must act decisively, immediately to eradicate al-Qaida cells in U.S.

T

he Obama administration currently is embroiled in a public relations and policy conundrum that has a direct impact on this nation’s national security. According to one CIA analyst I spoke with recently, al-Qaida sleeper cells are embedded in most U.S. cities with sizable Islamic communities. “Why do you think 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta traveled to Maine the night before the attacks?” asked the analyst. The obvious answer, he explained, was that Atta was meeting with a “handler” to receive final instructions. There is no doubt, explained the analyst, that thousands of al-Qaida sleeper agents – including conspirators involved in the Sept. 11 attacks – remain in-country. These covert networks are ticking time bombs that wield the capacity and hatred to carry out acts worse than 9/11. What’s shocking, explained the analyst, is not the existence of this widespread covert network, but that law enforcement has largely OPINION been neutered in their response. According to Armstrong the analyst, “the Agency” Williams knows where most terrorist cells are located in the United States. But their hands are tied until the cells actually “go hot,” or move into action. Obviously, this is not the most effective way to combat terrorism. The most effective way to prevent another 9/11 style attack is to root it out before it even starts. That means taking advantage of the modern intelligence we have and abducting members of domestic terrorist cells before – not after – they “go hot.” The Christmas Day attempt by Umar Abdulmutallab to detonate a bomb aboard a crowded Northwest Airlines flight should serve as a stark reminder of the threat presented by these cells. Though the New York Times is reporting that Abdulmutallab acted alone, the evidence suggests the opposite. Abdulmutallab studied in London, trained at Yemeni camps, and departed from Holland to America. The obvious implication is that ter-

----

rorist cells are interconnected. It is equally clear that al-Qaida’s desire to deliver mass murder to America has not weakened in the nearly nine years since Osama bin Laden declared the Sept. 11 attacks a “glorious success” and called for a “thousand more operations like these.” Since then, there have been at least 29 foiled terror plots against the United States. According to ABC News, Abdulmutallab told interrogators that he was one of many bombers being groomed by al-Qaida to blow up American-bound aircraft. Get it? The terrorists intend to destroy us. They will strike again. They have

told us so. A teetering Pakistan only increases the possibility that the next attack will involve weapons of mass destruction, including radiological dispersion devices. Unfortunately, attempts to prevent al-Qaida from constituting within our own borders are being hampered by this administration’s apparent uncertainty about how to treat sleeper cells. The Geneva Conventions, which govern the treatment of enemy combatants, simply do not contemplate non-state members of sleeper cells. If the decision to hold criminal trials for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other 9/11 masterminds is any indication, this administration is unwilling to take

swift remedial action. Obama’s desire to be liked by the international community has led him to risk American lives on the gamble that he can secure criminal convictions against the 9/11 masterminds. But what if there is a mistrial? Or classified documents are leaked? Or we are legally unable to detain them? More generally, it seems that the administration’s misguided insistence on criminal trials signals an ideological unwillingness to employ counterterrorism tools proactively. This is a terrible mistake and it betrays a dangerous ignorance of how our enemies operate. In Afghanistan, not only are rapists and murderers punished, but the next three generations of their family are treated as criminals. There is a bloodlust that runs through their society that will not be cured by Obama’s public policy overtures. Following the 9/11 attacks, al-Qaida brazenly declared their goal of building an Islamic empire capable of wiping the “infidels” off the face of the planet. There will be another terrorist attack. This is certain. The ability of our law enforcement authorities to mitigate the damage turns in large part on our ability to infiltrate terrorist cells and to undermine their operational infrastructure. A good place to start would be with those cells that we know to be operating within our own borders. Where such cells exist, they must be shattered – pre-emptively. I understand the importance of due process. But we are at war. And no war has ever been resolved by saying we’re not going to be better than the enemy. So, to President Obama, I offer this modest proposal: Take full advantage of our modern intelligence to wipe out terrorist cells before – not after – they spring into action. On Christmas Day, we were lucky. The only thing that prevented Abdulmutallab from blowing up a crowded plane was a faulty fuse and vigilant passengers. Next time, and there will be a next time, we may not be so lucky. ARMSTRONG WILLIAMS, a former High Point resident, is a Washington-based political commentator.

Holding the 9/11 trials in NYC is a colossal mistake BY REGIS KLINE

F

or the first time in American history foreign enemy combatants are going to be tried in civilian courts and given the rights of American citizens. It is hard for most Americans except the ACLU and liberals to understand why President Obama allowed this decision. President Roosevelt used the military courts to deliver swift justice to foreign enemy combatants during World War II. The military courts have been attacked, but upheld by the Supreme Court. The trials of Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four co-defendants – just blocks from the epicenter of the terror attacks – is a colossal mistake and a totally irresponsible decision. President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have said

they want to show the world that these Islamic terrorists can receive a fair trial in the United States. President Obama and Holder have stated publicly that all five are guilty, would never be released and should be put to death. Strange talk before the trials even start. Holding the 9/11 trials in New York City will create a security nightmare that the NYPD commissioner estimated will cost over $75 million. The trials will last for years and provide a platform for terrorists to attack the United States and spew their hatred and propaganda. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed also will become a hero of radical Islam around the world. He also has bragged that he decapitated with his blessed

right hand the American Jew, Daniel Pearl in the city of Karachi, Pakistan. The five terrorists already have admitted planning the 9/11 attack. The United States should have used a military court to swiftly try them at Gitmo and execute them. Why is the United States wasting all this time and money? The Homeland Security secretary and other top Obama security advisers were not even consulted for their opinions on holding the trials in New York before the decision was announced by Holder. The decision to hold the trials in New York was made in complete disregard to the 9/11 families, which is so insensitive and callous. I saw several 9/11 families on TV talk about how they were misled by President Obama during a White House meeting on this matter. The 9/11 families say the trials

are creating a costly and unnecessary security risk to New York. NYPD has stated that “common sense” indicates terrorists may try to disrupt the trials. The trials will also keep away many tourists, which will hurt the city financially. One of my past supervisors lost his future son-in-law in one of the twin towers. The young man’s remains were never identified. It took years for the daughter to get over the loss of her fiancée in such a horrific way. The 9/11 trials will only bring back all the hurt to this family and all the other 9/11 families, especially when the trials are in New York. Holder has said that terrorists who attack military targets will be tried at Gitmo in military courts and in civilian courts in the United States if they attack civilian targets. Holder was asked by a senator if the Pentagon was a military

target. Holder thought a minute and said there were more civilians killed at the Pentagon than military, so it was a civilian target. The same senator asked if Osama bin Laden would be read his rights if he was ever captured. Silence. Many Americans feel that President Obama and Holder only want a show trial where the CIA and President Bush/ Cheney will be put on trial regardless of the damage to the national security of the country. Sad! Sad! This administration is going back to pre-9/11 thinking by saying these terrorist acts are criminal acts. This will only show weakness to Islamic terrorists all over the world who desire to kill Americans. What ever happened to the War on Terror?

Texas company says NC DMV shutting out business RALEIGH (AP) – A Texas company that makes machines used to test the sobriety of convicted drunken drivers before they start their cars says it is being unfairly shut out of doing business in North Carolina, multiple media outlets reported Saturday. Smart Start Inc. of Irvine, Texas, makes ignition interlock devices, which prevent drivers from starting the ignition until a breath analyzer clears them as sober. The company filed a lawsuit Friday at North Carolina’s Office of Administrative Hearings, accusing the Division of Motor Vehicles of unfairly blocking its attempts to win the state’s contract for the devices. “All my client wants is a fair playing field and a chance to compete in North Carolina,” said Daniel Boyce, a Raleigh lawyer representing the company.

North Carolina began requiring the devices for some offenders in 1989, and Morrisvillebased Monitech has held the contract to sell them ever since. As of Jan. 1, nearly 8,000 North Carolina drivers were required to use ignition interlocks, according to the DMV. Smart Start, which does business in 40 states, says it has been trying to do business in North Carolina since 2001. According to court documents, Smart Start was told last year that its product didn’t meet state or federal guidelines to compete for the contract – contradicting what Smart Start says North Carolina officials told them two years earlier. The lawsuit also says the DMV’s selection process requires patents that give Monitech an unfair advantage to win the state business.

HPU men subdue Radford

TOP SCORES

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Tiny tots, indeed. Spurred by aspersions about their size, High Point University’s Panthers used their speed and agility to subdue bigger Radford 83-77 at the Millis Center in Saturday night’s Big South Conference showdown. “A couple of days ago in practice, coach (Scott Cherry) told us, ‘By the way, they called you the tiny tots,’ and that’s all the motivation we needed,” said Nick Barbour, who led the Panthers with 23 points. They were motivated enough to lead the entire second half against the Highlanders, the preseason league favorite which sports a front line of 6-foot-11, 270-pound center Art Parakhouski and a pair of 68 forwards. HPU has just one player over 6-6 – the 6-11 Cruz Daniels. Led by three quick buckets from Eugene Harris, the Panthers scored 11 of the first 14 points of the second half to go up 52-44 with 17:30 left. Radford moved within one on two occasions, the last with 5:37 to play. HPU went up by seven points with 1:13 left on Barbour’s last bucket, but a couple of turnovers allowed Radford to cut the margin to two with 40 seconds to go. HPU then held on with the last four points of the game. HPU improved to 8-6 overall and moved into a second-place tie in the Big South with Radford at 4-1. The Highlanders are also 8-6. “I’m so proud of my guys,” Cherry said. “They played the best they could. Harris added 20 points, including 13 in the second half. Jourdan Morris came off the bench to add 15, going around and over Parakhouski on the offensive end and then drawing Parakhouski on defense when centers Daniels and Corey Law picked up their third and fourth fouls. “I just concentrated getting the right angle on him,” Morris said. “He didn’t want to play defense. He was just interested in getting his points.” Even though he scored 29 points, Parakhouski wasn’t a big factor down the stretch, scoring just one free throw in the last 9:53. HPU dropped its guards into the paint to help defend the big center. He also didn’t get much support. Joey Lynch-Flohr, with 19 points, was the only other Highlander in double figures. Harris’ 3 at the halftime buzzer completed a 6-0 run to put the Panthers on top entering the break. The Panthers travel to N.C. Central Monday. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Duke’s Jon Scheyer (left) is double-teamed by Georgia Tech’s Gani Lawal (middle) and Iman Shumpert during Saturday’s ACC showdown in Atlanta. The Yellow Jackets topped the Blue Devils for a 71-67 victory.

Jackets wear down Duke ATLANTA (AP) – Georgia Tech was a team on a mission. It showed. Duke was just plain tired. That showed, too. Gani Lawal scored 21 points, including a crucial shot with just over a minute remaining, and No. 20 Georgia Tech bounced back from a dismal loss with a 71-67 upset of the fifth-ranked Blue Devils on Saturday. The Yellow Jackets avoided an 02 start in conference play and made up for Tuesday’s 73-66 loss to state rival Georgia, a team that doesn’t have nearly as much as talent. “This was a great bounce-back win,” Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt said. “The guys were re-

ally disappointed about that game the other night.” Lawal worked the boards hard, putting back two straight misses during one pivotal stretch, and Georgia Tech (12-3, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) went ahead for good on yet another hustle play. Zachery Peacock grabbed an airball under the basket and flipped in a shot that put Georgia Tech ahead 62-60 with 1:52 remaining. After Kyle Singler missed again for Duke (13-2, 1-1) on a 3-pointer – the junior forward was 2 for 13 from the field – Lawal knocked down an awkward turnaround jumper from about 10 feet to give the Yellow Jackets some breathing room. “I’ve practiced that shot. I knew

it was good when it left my hand,” Lawal said. “I told the guys, ’Just find a way to get me the ball.”’ The Blue Devils were stymied by a miserable performance beyond the arc (6 for 28 on 3-pointers), had their slim depth exposed by foul trouble (Lance Thomas picked up his fifth with more than 10 minutes left, three other players finished with four) and didn’t provide star Jon Scheyer much help. The point guard followed up a 31-point effort against Iowa State with another strong showing. He scored 25 points and chipped in with six assists. But Mason Plumlee, with 10 points off the bench, was the only other Duke player in double figures.

Hurricanes slip past Deacons CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) – James Dews sank a follow with 30 seconds left to put the Miami Hurricanes ahead to stay Saturday, then grabbed a defensive rebound as time ran out to seal a seesaw victory over Wake Forest, 67-66.

Dwayne Collins had 11 rebounds and a season-high 23 points for the Hurricanes (15-1, 1-1 ACC), off to their best start in 50 years. Wake Forest (11-3, 1-1) had won seven games in a row, the past two in overtime. But the Demon Dea-

cons couldn’t get Miami into OT, missing two of four free throws in the final 1:26. Wake’s Al-Farouq Aminu finished with nine points, half his average. He had 12 rebounds but shot only 3 for 12.

HPU women storm back for victory SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

RADFORD, Va. – The High Point University women’s basketball team used a 21-6 run to overcome a 15-point second-half deficit and defeat Radford 78-67 on Saturday afternoon. Junior Amy Dodd scored a team-best 15 points and grabbed six rebounds for HPU. High Point improves to 10-6 overall and 3-0 in the Big South with the win, the Panthers first in the Dedmon Center since March 5, 20005. Kymesha Alston finished with a

game-high 21 points for Radford, which falls to 2-11 overall and 1-1 in the Big South. “We started sluggish out of the gate,” said HPU head coach Tooey Loy. “We didn’t have the intensity or pressure that we have to have to be a good team. To be honest it took us being down 15 to turn that switch on. Credit our team that they never quit. They stayed together, worked hard and things started happening for us. We played great basketball for 15 minutes.” High Point outscored Radford 40-14 in the final 15 minutes, holding the Highlanders to 3-15 shoot-

ing and forcing seven turnovers. HPU finished with five players in double figures as Mackenzie Maier had 14 points, LaTeisha Dean had 12 points, Ashlee’ Samuels had 11 points and Jurica Hargraves had 10 points. Samuels led the Panthers with 10 rebounds for her third double-double of the season. Maier finished with seven blocks, tying her own HPU DI single-game record for the second time in three games. The junior has 15 blocks in three Big South contests. The Panthers play at GardnerWebb on Monday at 7 p.m.

ust a hunch, but the eventual Super Bowl champion may take the field during the first weekend of the NFL playoffs. The four teams that earned first-round byes – Indianapolis, New Orleans, San Diego and Minnesota – enter the postseason with serious question marks. A month ago, I would have termed a Saints-Colts Super Bowl quite likely. What a difference a month makes. The Saints (13-3) wrapped up the top seed in the NFC despite closing the season with three straight losses. New Orleans’ last victory came on Dec. 13 – 26-23 at Atlanta. So when the Saints hit the field next week, they’ll do so without having tasted victory for almost a month.

Keep in mind that no team has ever lost its final three regular-season games and advanced to the Super Bowl. As for the AFC top-seeded Colts, they started 14-0 and led the Jets midway through their 15th game. Then Jim Caldwell pulled the starters, the Jets rallied for a 29-15 victory and Indy’s reserves followed up with a lackluster 30-7 loss at Buffalo. The Colts enter the playoffs on a low. Don’t forget Indy set an NFL record with seven fourth-quarter comebacks this season. The Colts are hardly a dominant team. You could make a strong case for the AFC’s second-seeded Chargers. San Diego (13-3) starts the playoffs on an 11-game winning streak. But remember, San Diego has only beaten three teams with winning records

this year – the Eagles, Cowboys and Bengals. Their other 10 wins came against clubs a combined 28 games under .500. Minnesota grabbed the No. 2 seed in the NFC with a 12-4 record. Eight Vikings earned Pro Bowl status and any team with Brett Favre at quarterback is a playoff threat. Then again, Favre and head coach Brad Childress could engage in another disruptive shouting match at any moment. And bigplay running back Adrian Peterson has been plagued by fumble-itis at crucial times this season. The road to the Super Bowl appears more wide open than ever. That’s a recipe for great postseason drama.

Tommy Tuberville was hired on Saturday by Texas Tech to replace Mike Leach as the Red Raiders’ coach. The school announced the decision in a release and said that Tuberville will be introduced today. Leach was fired last month amid allegations he mistreated a player who suffered a concussion. Tuberville stepped down at Auburn in Dec. 2008, ending a 10-year tenure. The 55-year-old Tuberville was 85-40 at Auburn, including a 13-0 season in 2004.

playoff-record 169 yards from Cedric Benson but little else. Cincinnati’s streak without a playoff win reached 19 years and counting. Cincinnati went to the Meadowlands six days earlier and got turned into road kill. The Jets ran for 257 yards, and the Bengals managed a total of 72 yards, with Chad Ochocinco getting shut out. Little changed the second time around.

Packers bring momentum, confidence back to Arizona GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) – The Green Bay Packers are back in Arizona on a wave of momentum and confidence. This time, they’ll face the “real” Cardinals. The NFC matchup today is the last, and perhaps most intriguing, of the four wild-card games. A young, marvelously talented quarterback, Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers, is in his first playoff start.

Meanwhile, Arizona’s Kurt Warner, at 38 a master of the postseason, plays his 12th. The Packers (11-5) have won seven of their last eight, the lone loss a last-second heartbreaker to Pittsburgh. NFC West champion Arizona (10-6) is a better team than the one that made its stunning Super Bowl run a year ago, Warner said. The teams have played twice this

season, yet in many ways have never really played each other at all. Green Bay dominated the games, both in Arizona, once in the preseason, then 33-7 a week ago in a meaningless regular-season finale. The Cards had three players go down with injuries last week – wide receiver Anquan Boldin, defensive end Calais Campbell and cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.

Ravens, Patriots anticipate another close game FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) – Final minute. Game on the line. Ravens vs. Patriots. That’s the way it’s been the last two times those teams met and that’s the way New England coach Bill Belichick expects it to be today when he faces Baltimore in a wildcard playoff game. “You’ve got to think you’re going to be in a close game at this time of

year,” he said. “Whoever you play is a good football team and you’ve got to feel like there’s a good possibility it’s going to be a last-possession game.” Belichick would be thrilled if the result were the same as it was in Baltimore in the 12th game in 2007 and Foxborough in the fourth game this season. The Patriots won the first one

27-24 on Tom Brady’s 8-yard touchdown pass to Jabar Gaffney with 44 seconds left that kept them on course toward the only 16-0 regular season in NFL history. They held on for a 27-21 win in the second one when Mark Clayton dropped a fourth-down pass with 28 seconds left that would have given the Ravens a first down inside the Patriots 10-yard line.

Manning wins record 4th AP MVP NEW YORK (AP) – Maybe the award should be renamed Most Valuable Peyton. Peyton Manning became the first player to win The Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player honors four times. The Indianapolis Colts’ sensational quarterback romped to the award Saturday in balloting by 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the league. He received 391⁄2 votes to 71⁄2 for Drew Brees of New Orleans. Only four players – all quarterbacks

– earned votes. The other two were Philip Rivers of San Diego (2) and Brett Favre of Minnesota (1). Manning also won in 2003, 2004 and 2008, breaking a tie with Favre at three MVPs. “I’m very humbled and grateful to be honored with this award and I really feel like it is a reflection of our team,” said Manning, who guided the Colts to a 14-0 record before they rested starters in the second half of two games and finished 14-2.

Sports script Monday

The Colts play in the divisional round next week and have homefield advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. The Super Bowl is Feb. 7 in Miami, the same place they won it three years ago. Manning threw for 4,500 and 33 touchdowns this season. Perhaps most impressive, he led the Colts to all those comeback victories. The 33-year-old quarterback has started every game in his career, 192 in the regular season and 15 in the playoffs.

From Sudan to High Point M

ary Johnson regarded the request with skepticism. Here she was, juggling a 3-month-old baby, a 5-year-old and a middle-schooler, and her husband wanted to do what? “I saw an opportunity there, came home and asked my wife,” recalled Sam Johnson, smiling. Mary temporized: “Can we have him over for dinner and meet him first?” That night, the Johnson family watched in amazement as Deng Leek and Leek Leek walked – ducked – through the door. During the meal, the brothers from the Sudan made quite an SPORTS impression on Mary Johnson. They spoke of Steve their background prior Hanf to arriving at Wesleyan ■■■ Christian Academy. They cleared their dishes. Later, Mary found Deng Leek – all 7-feet of him – playing a video game with her 5-year-old and exchanging “very low” high-fives. “He was so soft and quiet and sweet and well-mannered, I felt compelled to do it, and it’s been the biggest blessing,” Mary offered. “I can’t imagine our home without him.” Nodded Sam: “And Deng makes four.” A long, uncertain journey years in the making finally has come to a comfortable conclusion for the brothers. They found a nurturing coach in Keith Gatlin, a welcoming school in Wesleyan Christian Academy, warm hosts in the Johnsons as well as the family of Brian Gavigan and Dr. Ronda White, with whom Leek Leek lives. All that’s left, really, is to tap their potential on the basketball court and make all their dreams come true.

EARLY CONNECTIONS Gatlin met Deng Leek some 20 years ago. Oh, wait: There are two Deng Leeks in this story thanks to Sudanese naming customs. The Wesleyan duo resides on a family tree that includes 21 brothers and sisters. Older brother Deng Leek is in his mid-30s and arrived in America in time to land a scholarship deal at Norfolk State. Now a businessman still residing in the U.S., he met Gatlin during his standout hoops career at Maryland. Turns out they had a mutual friend in Manute Bol, perhaps the best-known export from the Sudan thanks to the 7-6 center’s exploits during his NBA career. “It was kind of like fate,” Gatlin mused. “God blessed us to meet each other and it’s been a great fit ever since. “I didn’t know,” Gatlin continued, “that in their country and their tribe, their dad could have a lot of wives and that so many siblings were coming up.” While Sudan is best known in current times for its political upheaval and the conflicts in Darfur, Gatlin said the Leek family lived a fairly normal city life in the northeastern African nation. Still, the brothers wanted to take a shot at life in America for both the educational and athletic opportunities. The elder Deng Leek made it happen. “Big Deng,” the brothers offered, even though the elder brother is 6-10 compared to the 7-0 frame for the younger brother. “He’s kinda wide,” offered a smiling “small” Deng Leek.

THE ADVENTURE BEGINS Leek Leek and the younger Deng Leek arrived in the United States four years ago and lived with their brother in New York City. Leek Leek, a year older, had started playing basketball a year before the move. Deng Leek wouldn’t learn the game until arriving in America. They attended Our Savior New American School for a short time, spent a brief time in Indiana with an AAU program, stopped off at the now-defunct Patterson School in Lenoir and landed at the much-hyped Veritas Academy last year after meeting Gatlin. He was the new head coach of the new Triad school that lauded itself as a destination for top athletes also desiring a top-notch education. “At Veritas we could get kids from all over,” Gatlin said. “I happened to talk to some people who knew they were looking to get into a stable situation, and that’s how it came about. It worked out great.” Mostly. When Veritas faced an uncertain future at the end of its first year, Gatlin headed to Wesleyan. Unfazed, the brothers moved again as well. “We decided to come with him,” Leek Leek said. At the start, the brothers caused quite a stir in the hallways at Wesleyan. “Everybody was trying to get to know me,” Deng Leek said. “It was awesome.” “It’s nice,” added Leek Leek. “The school we were at was not a big school. It was different. (At Wesleyan), we were meeting a lot of new friends.”

Of all the places they’ve been in America, Leek Leek said, “Right now, I like North Carolina a lot better. Everybody is nice, we have new friends, the host families – it’s all great.”

FUN AND GAMES The basketball has been more than great at times for the Trojans. While Deng Leek “gets a lot of attention for being the tallest,” said his older brother, it’s actually Leek Leek who makes Wesleyan go more often than not. Leek Leek, an 18-year-old senior, stands a mere 6-6. Yet he also possesses a 40-inch vertical leap, enabling him to block just as many shots – if not more – than his brother. Leek Leek can fly up and down the court and play stifling defense. He can drive to the basket and knock down jumpers that confound the opposition. His efforts in the Bank of North Carolina Christmas Classic helped lift Wesleyan to its first tournament title in years. “Leek is a freak of nature athletically,” Gatlin praised. “He’s a pro athletically. Once he gets into a college, gets on a strict conditioning program, he’s going to flourish. His best basketball is still to come.” Deng Leek, meanwhile, relies on his 7-foot frame while his offensive game comes around. He scores easily on putbacks, but struggles when put on the foul line. Deng Leek also gobbles up rebounds, and as for the blocks, well – the ball he put about five rows deep in the stands at the Christmas tournament provided a lasting memory for many. “Deng can run, he’s very athletic, his hands are getting better,” Gatlin said. “The sky’s the limit for Deng because he’s such a novelty being so big. Big guys, if you rebound and block shots, you make a lot of money.” Wesleyan lost several games early in the season, including a few at some impressive tournaments, but the Trojans have been hot since the holidays and currently sport a 15-5 record. The adjustment, Gatlin admitted, could have been difficult with a new coach bringing in two new players. But Wesleyan’s players rose above such negative attitudes. “The feedback was great, because when you meet these kids you just fall in love with them,” Gatlin said of those first early practices. “It was a very smooth transition. And the kids on our team welcomed myself and the coaching staff here, because we were new, too.”

THE END? OR THE BEGINNING? Gatlin can’t help himself when asked about how far the brothers have come in the few years he’s known them. “My first meeting with them was funny,” Gatlin recalled. “When I picked them up at the airport, Deng asked me, ‘So where is the place I can go and marry a lot of women?’ ” More than a little stumped, Gatlin asked for clarification: “He said, ‘It’s a place in America where you can go and marry a lot of women.’ ” Gatlin needed a lifeline. “I called my wife and said, ‘What is he talking about?’ ” Gatlin continued. “She said, ‘Oh, the stuff in Utah...’ ” That’s when Deng Leek learned an early civics lesson. “I said, ‘No, no, no, in America you’re in jail when you do that,’ ” Gatlin concluded with a laugh before turning serious. “That’s one of our funny times with them, but both of them are good kids, hard workers, really want to make something out of themselves to go back home and help other people in their situation in Sudan.” It’s why, despite being in America just four years, Leek Leek had the grades and test scores – to go along with his basketball ability – to earn a full athletic scholarship to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He signed his National Letter of Intent with the Division I Horizon League school last month after also considering offers from Appalachian State, Houston and Tennessee Tech. “I liked the coach,” Leek Leek said of Rob Jeter, “and they were interested, following me. I liked the visit.” Deng Leek is tasked with adding mass to his huge frame while working with Sam Johnson, the Trojans’ strength and conditioning coach. He said he likes the way Connecticut and Georgetown play – he has a brother in Washington – but doesn’t have a destination in mind yet. Getting there shouldn’t be a problem for the younger Leek, either. The brothers speak Dinka, Arabic and English, and their command of English is good and getting better: They live with different host families to ensure that they’re speaking English more frequently than if they were together all the time. Sam and Mary Johnson dream of helping send the Leeks back to Sudan to visit friends and family before Leek Leek reports to Milwaukee. Airfare in the neighborhood of $2,000 a ticket makes visits home difficult. Even when the Leeks’ father died last year, they missed the funeral while in their new home.

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

Life is looking up for Leek Leek and Deng Leek (32) after the brothers found a home at Wesleyan Christian Academy following a four-year odyssey from the Sudan to High Point. Senior Leek Leek already has signed a full Division I basketball scholarship, while the sky is the limit for the 7-0 Deng Leek – seen showing off his height with Kate Johnson, the 5-year-old daughter of host parents Sam and Mary Johnson. Clearly, Leek Leek and Deng Leek are eager for happier homecomings. Visits that include NBA riches to better the lives of their family, perhaps. Or college diplomas that can help them better a nation. Or simple tales of life in a faraway land – of Deng Leek placing the star atop the Johnson’s 9-foot Christmas tree as his host family kept the ladder in the garage this year. “All the international students I’ve dealt with, they’re very smart kids,

they’re very determined,” Gatlin said. “When a kid like that comes to America, this is their chance to make it in the land of opportunity. They’re a little more appreciative – unfortunately – than American kids and they see the potential of ‘I can better my situation through basketball.’ Basketball is not the only thing they’re thinking about. It’s a means to get them where they want to go.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Cavaliers subdue Wolfpack, 70-62 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RALEIGH – Tony Bennett has simple goals for his first Virginia squad: play hard, play smart and don’t make it easy for an opponent to beat you. The Cavaliers lived up to all that in his first Atlantic Coast Conference game. Trailing by 10 points midway through the second half, the Cavaliers rallied to get back in the game and played with cool composure in the final 51⁄2 minutes to beat North Carolina State 70-62 on Saturday. It gave Bennett his first ACC victory with the Cavaliers, while the program won its league opener for just the third time in 15 seasons. Bennett said coaching in the traditionrich ACC was one of the draws that lured him from Washington State. He clearly had plenty to feel good about following his first taste of league play. The Cavaliers (9-4, 1-0) stepped up in the final 10 minutes. They didn’t panic when the Wolfpack (11-5, 0-2) pushed ahead to rev up its home crowd and even thrived in the critical final minutes. That included knocking down just about every free throw in the game, including a perfect 10-for-10 mark in the final minute to maintain its grip on the victory. Sylven Landesberg scored 23 points to lead the Cavs, while Mike Scott added 14 points. The Wolfpack, who led 30-26 at halftime, pushed ahead 42-32 with 13:22 left on a free throw from Tracy Smith (team-high 18 points). But N.C. State missed four of its next six free throws that could have maintained control, and that gave Virginia the opening it needed.

Bowman Gray Stadium races onto the small screen BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

CLEANING OUT THE NOTEBOOK: Those needing a short-track racing fix during the offseason can get one through, of all things, the History Channel. Beginning tonight at 10 and continuing on Sundays for 13 weeks , the cable outlet will air “Madhouse” – a stock-car racing reality show shot over the course of last season at Bowman Gray Stadium. Produced by Triage Entertainment, the show follows Tim Brown, Chris Fleming, Junior Miller and the brother duo of Burt and Jason Myers throughout

ing the rear wing on the Car of Tomorrow and going back to a rear spoiler as a means to increase downforce, after a meeting with 14 drivers on Thursday at the NASCAR research and development center. Poston said that changes for this season will be revealed during NASCAR’s press conference that has become a regular stop during the Charlotte Motor Speedway media tour. The press conference is slated for Jan. 21. ... Michael Waltrip will drive a Ferrari in a 24-hour sports car race this week in Dubai. Among the team’s other drivers is Rob Kauffmann, who is an investor SPARK PLUGS NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston in Waltrip’s Cup team, and former road said in a radio interview Friday that the racer turned Cup driver Marcos Amsanctioning body is considering ditch- brose. Waltrip and Kauffman decided to the 2009 campaign, which ended with Brown winning a record-tying eighth championship. In addition to weekly conflicts at the track, the show followed the drivers during the week. It will also touch on the history of NASCAR’s oldest shorttrack, which opened in 1949. The show’s executive producer, Grant Kahler, graduated from Wake Forest and attended every race over three seasons at the stadium while he was in college.

Kyle Petty: Danica to be under pressure in NASCAR NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Most of NASCAR is throwing out the welcome mat for Danica Patrick. Former driver-turnedTV analyst Kyle Petty is a bit more cautious about what her arrival means for the sport and the risks she’s taking. “I’ve said it from the very beginning, she is an incredibly talented driver. Can this be huge for her and for NASCAR? Yes, it can,” Petty said Saturday. “Obviously, open wheel built what the sport it is now off of her because it was a floundering sport. They took her and that marketing machine that she is and they went there.” Petty spoke at Sound and Speed, one of the events that marks the unofficial start of the racing season and features country music singers and NASCAR drivers mingling with fans from across the country. One of the bigger topics for 2010 is the arrival, at least on a part-time basis, of Patrick from openwheel racing. She’ll be driving for Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the ARCA and Nationwide series before and after her commitments for the IndyCar Series are completed. Petty, the son of NASCAR’s all-time wins leader Richard Petty, said Patrick is stepping into a situation with a car that has won races. “If she gets in that car

and doesn’t win races it’s not the car, it’s not the engines, it’s not the team. They only changed one thing. Initially, she’ll have an impact on the sport. If she’s successful, she’ll have a huge longterm impact on the sport. “But if she’s not successful the only impact she’ll have on the sport is she wasted two or three years on a car that a good driver could have been in and could have been developing.” He also noted the recent open-wheel drivers that have tried to make the jump to NASCAR and weren’t very successful. “I think she can come here, but I look at (Dario) Franchitti, I look at Tony (Stewart) when he first came over from open wheel, I look at Juan (Pablo Montoya) and they are incredibly talented individuals,” Petty said. “Juan Montoya is probably, car control-wise, one of the most amazing human beings you’ve seen in a car and he struggled for three years at this level, and she’s not Juan Montoya. “She’s not Dario Franchitti and she’s not Tony Stewart. She’s not really shown over there (in the Indy Racing League) and won races and done stuff over there numbers-wise. She’s just a marketing machine. Let’s look at the facts and be blunt about it.” Earnhardt doesn’t know how his new employee will fare on the

track, but he can’t wait to see. “I’m going into it with an open mind. It’s going to be an uphill battle for her,” said the veteran Cup driver. “But I think she can. She’s a racecar driver.

I don’t know how she’ll do, I really don’t.” Mike Bliss, currently driving on the Nationwide Series, thinks Patrick will be under a lot of stress to succeed. “I think Danica is going to steal a lot of the thunder from all of us drivers till her first or second race. There’s a lot of emphasis on her,” Bliss said. “She’s somebody that everybody is going to be watching at Daytona. Thank God it’s her. The camera is going to be on her – a lot of pressure.” Sprint Cup veteran Carl Edwards was hesitant at first, but thinks it’s a good thing for the sport bringing Patrick onboard. “Honestly, at first I thought there’s no way,” Edwards said. “Then I heard just (Friday) my buddy was telling me at testing that she was really, really fast. You never know. What I’ve been saying from the beginning is for her to be successful over here would be a huge benefit not only for her and her sponsors, but for our whole sport.”

Vonn takes 4th straight World Cup downhill HAUS IM ENNSTAL, Austria (AP) – The Olympics are almost a month away, and Lindsey Vonn is unstoppable in the downhill. She won her fourth straight World Cup downhill Saturday and second in two days, overcoming poor visibility because of increasing snowfall. “I am really happy with this weekend,” Vonn said. “It’s a real confidence booster.” She sped down the shortened Krummholz course in 1 minute, 9.12 seconds to beat Nadja Kamer of Switzerland by 0.14 seconds and extend her lead in the overall standings. Ingrid Jacquemod of France was another 0.02 back in third. Vonn started 21st and said she was surprised to win.

“I knew I had to make a perfect run,” she said. “First, I thought I had to be aggressive, but then I realized that the weather was getting worse.” Vonn was in control all the way and finished strongly to beat Kamer, who started first and under better conditions. In addition to Vonn, the U.S. had a ninth-place finish from Stacey Cook while Julia Mancuso was 11th. Vonn’s main rival, Maria Riesch, finished seventh, 0.46 off the winning time. Vonn has 794 points to lead the German by 99 points. Austria’s Kathrin Zettel is third with 569. A women’s super-G is scheduled for today.

World Cup giant slalom canceled by thick fog ADELBODEN, Switzerland (AP) – Thick fog forced the cancellation of a World Cup giant slalom race Saturday after 58 of 66 scheduled racers completed the first run. The International Ski Federation called off the race after deciding the course would not be safe for the final skiers. World Cup rules state the entire field must complete the first run before a second leg can be rescheduled. The start had already been delayed for 80 minutes because of poor visibility. Ted Ligety of the United States was fifth after leading off the race wearing bib No. 1. “It’s kind of intimidating going first when you have that many (delays),” Ligety said. Bode Miller, who started No. 32, skied out before halfway down in his first

World Cup race following a three-week break to rest his injured right ankle. Miller had hoped to secure a top-10 finish to confirm his place in the U.S. Olympic team in the giant slalom. FIS men’s race director Guenter Hujara said the race could be made up at Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, which will stage a giant slalom and slalom on Jan. 30-31. Italy’s Davide Simoncelli led after racing a shortened course in 56.08 seconds, 0.27 faster than Marcel Hirscher of Austria. Croatia’s Ivica Kostelic was third. FIS officials and Adeloboden organizers quickly ruled out restarting the race on Monday because of logistical problems. Downhill training was moved up a day to Tuesday because of poor weather forecasts for the prestigious Lauberhorn races next weekend.

CEDAR BLUFF, Va. – Davidson County Community College’s men’s basketball team survived a sluggish outing at Southwest Virginia Community College while grabbing a 90-80 victory Saturday. “It’s good to get a win on the road in our league when we don’t play up to our standards,� Storm coach Matt Ridge said. “Hopefully this will be a wake-up call for us before a big game at Caldwell on Wednesday.� DCCC, now 12-4 overall and 3-0 in Region X, got 21 points from Kimani Hunt. Justin Glover also had 15 points, while Robbie Rives scored 14 and Roderick Geter and Phillip Williams both had 12.

When asked if Carroll will become the eighth coach in Seattle’s 34year history, the official said all signs point that way, just “not so fast� as has been reported. Carroll has coached the New York Jets and New England Patriots and spent nine years at USC. He is under consideration by a Seattle team that went 5-11 this season and fired coach Jim Mora on Friday after one season. ESPN, which hired Carroll to provide analysis for this week’s national championship game, said Carroll reached a coaching agreement. The Seahawks are believed to be offering Carroll a five-year contract worth $7 million a season.

In the market for a house? Trying to sell your home? Then you may be impacted by the federal home purchase tax credit. This is the first in a six-part series explaining how the credit works, how to qualify and how to go about getting it. You’ll also hear from area Realtors and banks on the benefits of the program and other programs that make homebuying much easier than most people realize. The series also examines the potential impact of the tax credit legislation on the struggling home furnishings industry. Also, local bankers will offer their views on the current lending climate and the opportunities that exist as a result of home foreclosures.

Program is under a set timetable. 2D BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Real estate professionals, homebuyers and sellers, and economists hope the extension of the home purchase tax credit approved by Congress and signed by

President Barack Obama late last year will pay dividends during 2010. The original credit took effect nearly a year ago, after Congress passed the Obama administration’s nearly $800 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, commonly known as the federal stimulus. The original credit in the stimulus allowed taxpayers who purchased a home before Dec. 1 of last year to receive up to $8,000,

or $4,000 for married individuals filing separately, according HOMEBUYER to the Internal Revenue TAX CREDIT Service. The initial What you tax credit should know is cited by ■■■ economists and housing industry officials as a key reason for the turnaround in the residential home market this year following the deep recession, financial industry meltdown and fallout from the subprime mortgage debacle. The High Point Regional Association of Realtors reported in mid-December that local home sales in November increased 14 percent from October and 51 percent from November a year ago. Nationally, existinghome sales rose in November as first-time buyers closed sales before the deadline for the initial tax credit. Existing-home sales – including singlefamily, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops – rose 7.4 percent from October to November, reports the

National Association of Realtors. This past fall Congress passed House Resolution 3548, an extension of the program, according to the office of U.S. Rep. Howard Coble, R-6th. The legislation extends the first-time homebuyer tax credit of up to $8,000 to first-time home buyers until April 30 of this year. The legislation also expands the credit to grant up to $6,500 credit to current homeowners purchasing a new or existing home between Nov. 7 of last year and April 30 of this year, Co-

ble’s office reports. To qualify as a firsttime homebuyer, the purchaser or a spouse can’t have owned a residence during the three years prior to the purchase, according to the National Association of Realtors. The extension of the credit covers current homeowners purchasing a home between Nov. 7 and April 30 who have used the home being sold or vacated as a principal residence for five consecutive years within the last eight years. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Looz brings taste of Italy to High Point BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – No one knows Italian food like a man who was born and raised in Naples, Italy, according to Sal Looz. Owner of multiple restaurants in the Triad, Looz’s family history of operating restaurants in both Italy and the U.S. also makes it a little easier to run his businesses. “I learned how to cook from my mom,” said Looz, owner of Mama Mia’s at 1801 Westchester Drive and Elizabeth’s Pizza at 2505 Westchester Drive. “My mom and my grandmother both had restaurants.” Looz came to the U.S. from Italy in 1982 and worked under his father, who originally operated Elizabeth’s Pizza in High Point. Looz went on to open Elizabeth’s Pizza franchises in Thomasville and Lexington, but later sold the businesses. His two restaurants keep him busy enough, but he saw a need for another restaurant in the Wallburg area. Scheduled to finish construction in late February, Looz will open Mama Mia’s Pizzeria in the Food Lion Plaza at the intersection of N.C. 109 and Gumtree Road, next to Wendy’s. His restaurants all are designed to offer the community something different, he said. The new pizzeria, for example, is a pizza shop with menu prices that cater to the working-class family. It’s an inexpensive, family experience, Looz said. Mama Mia’s, however, is more of an upscale atmosphere with an expanding menu. To help balance his stress

He later moved to New York City and worked in various restaurants on the East Coast until he made his way to Mama Mia’s a few months ago. With Coppola’s help, Looz will add several new “modern” items to his upscale menu to accompany the more traditional items. Coppola will cook dishes such as chicken frangelica when the new menu is finished. “The food you get here, we

Homebuyer tax credit opens doors. 1D BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – The Extended Homebuyer Tax Credit may be applied to an array of primary residences, including singlefamily homes, condominiums, townhomes and co-ops. The maximum allowable credit for first-time home buyers is $8,000, while the credit ceiling for current homeowners is $6,500, the

National Association of Realtors reports. The level of the homebuyer’s HOMEBUYER tax credit is determined by two TAX CREDIT other factors – the price of the What you home and buyer’s should know income. ■■■ Under the Extended Homebuyer Tax Credit, credit may only be awarded on homes purchased for $800,000 or less, according to the National Association of Realtors. Single buyers with incomes up to $125,000 and

married couples with incomes up to $225,000 may receive the maximum tax credit. “These income limits have changed from the 2009 FirstTime Home Buyer Tax Credit limits,” the National Association of Realtors reports. The legislation gives homebuyers some leeway on the timing of a qualified purchase. As long as a written binding contract to purchase is in effect on April 30, the purchaser will have until July 1 to close, the National Association of Realtors reports. A buyer doesn’t need to repay the tax credit if the home is oc-

cupied for three years or more. However, if the property is sold during the three-year period, the full amount of the credit will be recouped on the sale, according to the National Association of Realtors. During a tumultuous, bitterly partisan year in 2009 on Capitol Hill, the extension of the credit offered one opportunity for members of both parties to support a major bill. This past fall, U.S. Rep. Howard Coble, R-6th, praised passage of the credit extension, which reflected separate legislation he proposed earlier in 2009. “We know that these credits

are spurring home sales and those sales are helping us dig out of this recession,” Coble said at the time the bill passed. Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan said the extension of the credit will strengthen the economy. “When I am back in North Carolina, I meet so many homeowners, business owners and middle-class families who are hurting in this economic climate. Passage of this bill will help North Carolina families and businesses get back on the right track,” Hagan said when the legislation passed. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

AP

MagicJack CEO and founder Dan Borislow holds up the new and improved MagicJack at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas on Thursday.

For the next act ... cell phone fees disappear LAS VEGAS (AP) – The company behind the magicJack, the cheap Internet phone gadget that’s been heavily promoted on TV, has made a new version of the device that allows free calls from cell phones in the home, in a fashion that’s sure to draw protest from cellular carriers. The new magicJack uses, without permission, radio frequencies for which cellular carriers have paid billions of dollars for exclusive licenses. YMax Corp., which is based in Palm Beach, Fla., said this week at the International Consumers Electronics Show that it plans to start selling the device in about four months for $40, the same price as the original magicJack. As before, it will provide free calls to the U.S. and Canada for one year. The device is, in essence, a very small cellular tower for the home. The size of a deck of cards, it plugs into a PC,

linked to the magicJack, and as long as it’s within range (YMax said it will cover a 3,000-square-foot home) magicJack routes the call itself, over the Internet, rather than going through the carrier’s cellular tower. No minutes are subtracted from the user’s

account with the carrier. Any extra fees for international calls are subtracted from the user’s account with magicJack, not the carrier. According to YMax CEO Dan Borislow, the device will connect to any phone that uses the GSM standard, which in the U.S. includes phones from AT&T Inc. and T-Mobile USA. At a demonstration at CES, a visitor’s phone with a T-Mobile account successfully placed and received calls through the magicJack. Most phones from Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel Corp. won’t connect to the device. Borislow said the device is legal because wireless spectrum licenses don’t extend into the home. AT&T, T-Mobile and the Federal Communications Commission had no immediate comment on whether they believe the device is legal, but said they were looking into the issue. CTIA – The Wireless As-

sociation, a trade group, said it was declining comment for now. None of them had heard of YMax’s plans. Borislow said YMax has sold 5 million magicJacks for landline phones in the last two years and that roughly 3 million are in active use. That would give YMax a bigger customer base than Internet phone pioneer Vonage Holdings Corp., which has been selling service for $25 per month for the better part of a decade. Privately held YMax had revenue of $110 million last year, it says. U.S. carriers have been selling and experimenting with devices that act similarly to the wireless magicJack. They’re called “femtocells.” Like the magicJack, they use the carrier’s licensed spectrum to connect to a phone, then route the calls over a home broadband connection. They improve coverage inside the home and offload capacity from the carrier’s towers.

NEW YORK (AP) – One number to look for in a contract? The cost of getting out. Early termination fees for cable service, cell phone plans and other contracts generally offer a benefit – they’re escape doors from commitments for much greater amounts. Still, you may have assumed the penalty would be lighter, or that you could walk away if you had good reason. In mapping out your finances for 2010, you may also regret locking yourself into a costly gym membership or other service in recent months. A contract is nevertheless binding, whether you find a better deal, lose your job or run into another financial calamity. Refusing to pay could result in bills going to collection, which in turn would be noted on your credit report for seven years. So before you sign on the dotted line, know what it costs to nix the deal. If you’re already locked in, there may be ways to wiggle out. You’re more likely to encounter early termination fees when there’s a sale or promotion, such as a reduced rate on service for a set time. The fees are how companies claw back any discounts that were given. For example, cell phone carriers usually offer steep rebates on phones if you sign up for a service plan. The early termination fee is intended to recoup that money if you bail early. So if you’re alarmed by a high termination fee, weigh the

savings you’d get against the penalty you’d incur. If it’s unlikely that you’ll end the contract early, the deal is probably worthwhile. Early termination fees usually are prorated too, meaning they decline the further along in the contract you are. For cable service with Time Warner, for example, the termination fees for getting out of a pricelocked deal start dropping after three months. There may be a grace period in your contract that lets you avoid the early termination fee. If so, know when it ends so you can cancel in time if needed. Some cell phone providers, including Sprint and Verizon, give you 30 days to cancel a plan without penalty. Otherwise, Verizon’s termination fee can be as high as $350 if you have a smartphone and $175 for standard cell phones. You may also be able to avoid fees if there’s a significant change in services. For instance, many consumers got upset earlier this year when T-Mobile said it would start charging for paper statements, notes Edgar Dworsky, founder of ConsumerWorld.org. If a contract doesn’t include a clause on early terminations, it generally means the company can demand the amount you would pay over the remainder of the contract. This is usually the case with car leases. However, you can often transfer your lease to someone else through sites such as TradeALease.com or LeaseTrader.com.

Incisiveness aids older workers with younger BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

Imagine being 55 years old and returning to a workplace after 23 years. Then, think about the fact that the average age in that workplace is 24. “I’m not the only 50-year-old who decided to serve his country and go to Iraq,” reports Sergeant Neil Gussman of the Army National Guard. “A retired police(man) here is finishing eight months as a helicopter door gunner. He’s 55.” Peter Rosen, president of Atlanta’s HR Strategies & Solutions L.L.C., points out that not everyone fits the stereotype of an older worker, that even young people can seem old and remain that way forever. “Some people are perceived as young their whole life,” he observes. In other words, a person’s attitude plays a role in our perceptions of age.

IN THE CULTURE Gussman, of Lancaster, Pa., is stationed in an air unit at Tallil Ali Air Base in southern Iraq (near An Nasiriyah). He knew what he needed to do to fit in – be in shape and stay that way. “Fitness is a big part of getting along,” he says. “When we were training to go to Iraq, we

had a lot of physical training. If I were not out in front, I’d have been perceived as weak in a physical meritocracy. I was in the position women and minorities are in of having to be better than average just to be accepted.” A few months ago he placed third among 90 men and women in his company’s fitness test. He looked at all of the training from a youthful perspective. “My enthusiasm helped me get accepted by guys less than half my age, but who are enthusiastic themselves,” he comments. He strives to keep up the rigor at risk of falling back. His success points to the fact that mature workers are in a position to do more than just get along where youthful values reign. They can also enjoy their work. At The Coca-Cola Co., Rosen met younger workers on their terms, like Gussman. Rosen, a selfdescribed “tech-gadget junkie,” found that people came to him for help for getting through technoglitches. His social nature helped, too. He was the lone manager on the company basketball team. “Not limiting connections in an organization breaks stereotypes,” he says. Finally, he gained rapid

Listening, a key component in building relationships, is tougher for drivers, because they “tend not to listen,” he says. “They’re competi-

tive. They like to win. We have to get them to stop thinking about time, because that’s a big issue with them, so they start to look at a bigger picture. They can come across as not caring. We have to rearrange the way they look at people.” DR. MILDRED L. CULP, Workwise Features, is an award-winning journalist. E-mail questions or comments to culp@workwise. net.

What goes around A former cancer patient donates her hair to help others BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – Erin Seamon certainly isn’t the first young woman to donate a long tress of her hair to Locks of Love, nor will she be the last. But Seamon’s story is different – vastly different – from that of most of the young women who decide to donate their hair. Locks of Love is a nonprofit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children suffering from medical hair loss – for example, a child whose hair has fallen out as a result of chemotherapy treatments. What makes Seamon’s story so unique is that, three decades ago, she was one of those children. “When I was a cancer patient, I know how embarrassing it was to go around with a bald head, so I wanted to give back to another child who’s having to face that fear,” says Seamon, a 36-year-old High Point woman. “I wanted to help another child with cancer who has self-esteem issues.” Thirty-one years ago this month, Seamon was a 5-yearold kindergartner when she was diagnosed with stage three rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare form of tumor that had devel-

Radical chemo and radiation therapy began almost immediately, but the prognosis was bleak. “She was just so sick,” recalls Seamon’s mother, Kathy Spivey, also of High Point. “The doctors said if the cancer did not take her, the chemo and radiation therapy would – that’s how heavy the dose was – and they said she wouldn’t live to be 6. They said with the medicine, she might have three more months at the most to live.” Seamon obviously defied those odds and is now in remission – “She’s truly a miracle,” her mother says – but Seamon well remembers the pain she endured, not only physically but also emotionally. Much of that emotional scarring stemmed from the loss of her shoulder-length hair due to chemo treatments. “I could just run my hand through my hair, and it would come out in clumps,” she recalls. “In school, they would call me names” – “Skinhead” was the most common one – “and laugh at me and crack jokes. Like any other child, I was hurt and embarrassed by it, so that was the onset of a lack of self-esteem and a lack of security.” Some of the classmates’ cruelty was directed at Seamon’s face, which looked – and still looks – distorted because of the radiation therapy. According to Seamon, the radiation basically killed the growth cells on the right side of her face, giving it a sunken appearance and

Locks of Love is a nonprofit organization that provides high-quality hair prosthetics to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada who suffer from long-term medical hair loss. The prostheses help to restore the children’s self-esteem and selfconfidence. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost

As a result, some children called her “Popeye” and “the Elephant Man’s daughter.” “It was awful,” Seamon says. “There were days that I would beg my mom to let me stay home to avoid all of that.” Three decades later, strangers still stare at Seamon, but it doesn’t bother her like it used to. “I want to say something but I don’t, because I know that

ing in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life fundraiser for the past five years, she also volunteers in the playroom of the pediatric oncology unit at Brenner Children’s Hospital, where she was a patient. “I supervise the children who come in there,” Seamon explains. “I give them paints or crayons or whatever they need to get their mind off of being sick.” That helps fulfill her desire to help children who are going through what she went through – the same reason she gives for donating a lock of her hair to Locks of Love this past week. “I decided to do it about a year ago, but my hair wasn’t long enough, so I had to keep growing it until it was about down to my elbows,” Seamon says. “I wanted to give it to somebody else for their self-esteem, because I remember the hardships of not having any hair.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

State law now prohibits smoking in almost all restaurants and bars in North Carolina. Smoking is also banned in enclosed areas of hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, and inns, if food and drink are prepared there. The law allows lodging establishments to reserve up to 20 percent of guest rooms for smoking. If individuals observe or note a possible violation, they are asked to notify the owner or manager. The establishment is responsible for compliance and is required to direct a person who is smoking to extinguish the lighted tobacco product. Establishments are also responsible to post approved signs in an area of high visibility, and ashtrays or other smoking receptacles cannot be available indoors. If you observe or note a possible violation, you can also report it to your local health department by submitting the Public Smoking Complaint form. The form is available at www.smokefree. nc.gov. Click on “Complaint Form: Reporting Violation(s)” and follow the directions. Complaints may also be submitted by calling CARE-LINE at (800) 662-7030 (bilingual services are available in more than 150 languages), from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week. If calling between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., you may leave a message, and your call will be returned.

Girl-watcher can’t understand wife’s humiliation D

ear Abby: My husband constantly leers at women. He bases many of his choices on the “best views” available for girl-watching: his seat in a restaurant, where he parks to pick up the kids from high school, seats at sporting events that are close to the cheerleaders, even TV shows that feature cute blondes – the scantier clad the better. The most upsetting incident happened when we were saying goodbye to our daughter whom we had taken to college. With tears in my eyes, I turned to my husband for comfort. Abby, instead of offering any, his eyes were glued on the rear end of a cute co-ed as she crossed the lobby. I have begged, pleaded and explained repeatedly to my husband that his behavior is humiliating, degrading to all involved and just plain disgusting. He either denies he’s doing it, becomes defensive, says I need help or tells me I’m “overreacting” – that ALL men do it. I have had enough, but at my age starting over seems scary. AM I overreacting? – Yoo-hoo, I’m Over Here! Dear Here!: If your husband was 20 years

younger, his behavior would be classified as “boys will be boys.” But he is ADVICE no longer a boy, and Dear the older Abby he gets the ■■■ more his behavior is beginning to resemble that of a creepy old man. Most men may look occasionally, but it appears your husband is obsessive. He owes you an apology for his lack of sensitivity regarding your feelings and should make an effort at behavior modification.

But before you throw in the towel, both of you should talk to a marriage counselor – or an optometrist who can help your husband practice tunnel vision.

Every time we make plans to have Michelle over for dinner or a movie, there’s either a reason she can’t come, or her mother calls asking her to return home. Michelle’s mom constantly calls and texts

my son. On Facebook she carries on about how much she misses him. Whenever Brandon makes a comment about his wonderful girlfriend, her mother chimes in with, “What about her wonderful mother?” Brandon is being set up and manipulated, but becomes defensive if I try to point it out. We live in a small town, and I have had several unsolicited warnings of

“watch out for the mother” whenever people find out who Brandon is dating. Would it be wrong to approach this woman? – Level- Headed in Monroe, N.C. Dear Level-headed: It appears that Michelle’s mother is living vicariously through her daughter and is trying to “help” her land your son. Although the woman’s behavior is over-the-top,

I doubt that confronting her would discourage her. Before this goes any further, Brandon needs to understand that Michelle’s mother is a textbook example of a problem mother-in-law. If your son has a father, uncle or grandfather in the picture, he may be more receptive to a man-to-man talk about what’s going on than he is to a warning from his mother.

Dear Abby: My 18year-old son, “Brandon,” dated several girls in high school – none seriously. But now that he’s thinking about colleges, he has fallen head-over-heels for someone named “Michelle.” I’m OK with that; my problem is Michelle’s mother. It’s like she’s try-

Parents must find time for rebellious teens Q uestion: Teenage rebellion has hit our home at last. My 15-year-old son’s rotten attitude just went from bad to worse! How do I get him through the “rapids” of adolescence without rocking the boat any more than absolutely necessary?

Dr. Dobson: First of all, you need to recognize that the trial you’re facing is “common to man.” Adolescent revolt is hormonally driven and occurs in the best of families. When hostility and rebellion begin to appear, how do you keep your boys (and girls) from blowing up and doing something stupid? I’ve addressed that subject in the past, but let me offer a recent finding that I haven’t shared before. The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health surveyed 11,572 teenagers to determine which factors were most helpful in preventing harmful behavior, such as violence, suicide, substance abuse, early sexual behavior and teen pregnancy. Here’s what the researchers found: The presence of parents is beneficial at four key times of the day early morning, after school, dinnertime and bedtime. When that regular contact is combined with other shared activities between parents and kids, the most positive outcome is achieved. The researchers also observed that adolescents who felt a sense of connection with their parents (feelings of warmth, love and caring) were least likely to engage in harmful behavior. Some of my readers might be asking, “How can

I be with my teenagers morning, noon and night? I have altogether too much FOCUS work to do.” Well, ON THE you simply FAMILY have to decide what Dr. James is most Dobson important ■■■ to you at this time. It won’t matter as much a few years down the road, but your availability right now could make the difference for your child between surviving or plunging off the cliff. Question: I have great fear that my baby will die when I put her in her crib. What is known now about sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)? Have researchers figured out what causes these tragic cases where seemingly healthy babies die while sleeping?

Dr. Dobson: Sudden infant death syndrome is still a major concern, killing about 2,500 babies each year in the United States alone. We do know more, however, about the circumstances that are often associated with this terrible event. A study was conducted by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission with the collaboration of researchers at the University of Maryland and the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Mo. The results were presented at a meeting of the Society for Pediatric Research in 1996.

The epidemiologist who directed the investigation, Dr. N.J. Scheers, said, “We have not found a cause of SIDS, but our results show that specific items of bedding used in the U.S., such as comforters and pillows, were associated with an increased risk for death to prone-sleeping infants whose faces became covered, compared to infants on their sides or backs without soft bedding under them.” It was concluded that babies placed on their stomachs in soft bedding are more likely to rebreathe their own carbon dioxide that is trapped in the blankets and pillows around them. In about 30 percent of the 206 SIDS deaths in the research project, babies were found with bedding pressed against their noses and mouths. Most of them were under four months old and could not extricate themselves. The advice now being offered by doctors is that parents place their infants on their backs, not on their stomachs, and that a minimum amount of loose bedding be kept in the crib. Experts also recommend that pregnant women avoid smoking for a host of reasons; one of them being that prenatal smoking is a major risk factor for SIDS. In addition, secondhand smoke may also put infants at risk for SIDS. For a number of reasons aside from the danger of SIDS, children should not be exposed to smoke. Following this advice won’t eliminate all cases of SIDS, but it could save thousands of lives every year.

Cat can’t kick its sneezing habit D

ear Dr. Fox: I have a healthy, 10-month-old domestic shorthair cat that eats well, has a shiny coat, and is active. He has no fever, but sneezes repeatedly. In the morning, when he sneezes, there is yellow mucus. His left eye drains, but otherwise looks normal. I had our vet examine him three times. The first time, he was given an antibiotic injection with Clavamox at home and Terramycin eye ointment for eye drainage. The next two visits, he received Clavamox and Terramycin again. After each course of Clavamox, he improved, but the sneezing and eye drainage returned. I have had cats for 45 years and never had this problem with any of them. I currently have two older cats who have not caught this from him. He was born in a friend’s yard and stayed with his mom for eight weeks. Since traditional methods have not been effective, what herbal products would you recommend? – K.L., Virginia Beach, Va. Dear K.L.: Your cat’s malady is common in the feline population today. Some experts believe the condition is symptomatic of an impaired immune system that could be caused by adverse vaccination reactions or any number of household chemicals, especially artificial scents in cleaning products, laundry detergents and even cat litter. Get rid of these as best you can, and check my Web site for various treatment regimens aimed at subduing the inflammatory response. Treatment with steroids would subdue the latter, but further impair the immune system. Many cats show improvement with fish-oil supplements, mild herbal inhalants (www.aromadog.com) and transitioning onto a natural, even raw food diet. For details, go to www.fnes.org. Dear Dr. Fox: My 15-year-old black cat Shadow was recently diagnosed with a mass in his right ear. He has had two or three infections in the same ear, and the ear has bled oc-

casionally when the vet cleans it. We’ve cleared up the latest infection, but the mass remains. The vet thinks Shadow needs surgery immediately to remove the mass and ANIMAL possibly the entire ear canal if the mass is maDOCTOR lignant. Do you agree? The mass is up Dr. Michael against cartilage, so the Fox vet feels the cancer – if ■■■ malignant – will probably spread and that surgery would be helpful. But what I’ve read on the Internet indicates a less optimistic prognosis, even with the surgery. – N.W., Rockville, Md. Dear N.W.: It is normal protocol to take a biopsy to determine the kind of growth prior to surgery. With some malignancies, surgery simply makes matters worse, further impairing the patient’s immune system and facilitating the multiplication of cancerous cells not removed from the afflicted area and any that may have already spread to other parts of the body. All good surgeons think with the heart before the knife. What are the consequences of radical ear surgery (that will be slow to heal and painful) on the cat’s quality of life and life expectancy? Your cat is old, and comfort is the first priority. Without a biopsy, it’s anyone’s guess. But, considering your cat’s age, I would not opt for surgery. Because of the cat’s age, local and systemic (oral) anti-inflammatory supplements and antioxidants would be my choice if this were my cat, even if the biopsy indicated a cancer instead of an eosinophilic granuloma or other nonmalignant growth.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – Alaskans have been betting on when the ice on the Tanana River in the town of Nenana will break each spring since 1917, placing their wagers in red cans in grocery stores, gas stations and other retailers around the state. The bets, at $2.50 apiece, can be placed between Feb. 1 and April 5. The 2009 total reached $283,723. But non-residents can take part in the contest too, by mailing in their bets with a check or money order. For details and contact information, visit the Web site at www.nenanaakiceclassic.com. The Web site also includes detailed data from winning dates in past years for out-of-towners who care to study up. Your guess must include the hour and minute (Alaska time) of the ice break. Most years, the ice has broken in late April or early to midMay. A trip-wired tripod planted 2 feet into the ice officially records the time of the ice break. When the ice cracks, a wire connecting the tripod to a clock is triggered, stopping the clock. Or if you prefer to place your bet in person and see some of that ice before it disappears with the coming of spring, visit Nenana March 6-8 for its Tripod Days festival. The event features a basketball tournament, Texas Hold ’Em poker championships, a biscuit-andgravy breakfast, donut eating contest and hula hoop contest.

Southerners check out winter at Atlanta snow park BY DORIE TURNER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

S

TONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. – Sledding, snowball fights and building a snowman are not typical Atlanta activities. But on Snow Mountain at Stone Mountain Park, which just opened for its second season, 240 tons of machine-made snow a day allows Southerners to experience winter fun without the Northern chills. Ten-year-old Nick Velez from Clermont, Fla., who visited the park in December, didn’t remember ever seeing snow before. “I think it’s cool, how you can make snowballs and how you can have fun in it,” he said, dragging his inner tube behind him as he followed his grandmother, Deborah Rosa, up the hill. Southerners dressed for their artificial snow day in a variety of getups. Rosa wore leopard-print boots and a fur-lined jacket, but some visitors wore cowboy boots or just tennis shoes and a fleece pullover. Others donned full snowsuits or ski pants and heavy boots. As a Southerner originally from Memphis, I arrived at the park stuffed into multiple layers of clothing – gloves, hats, scarves, fleece vests, ex-

We headed first for the tubing queue, grabbing donut-shaped inflatables and jumping on a conveyor belt to take us up to the top of the hill. The park was sold out for the day, with hundreds of people on the hill and a 20-minute wait to shoot down one of the 12 tubing lanes. Brendan Sheppard, 35, of nearby Norcross, Ga., was happy to be there despite the lines. “I thought it would be fun for the kids, but I ended up having a lot more fun that I thought,” Sheppard said. “You don’t usually get to do this at home.” My first trip down the 400-foot tubing hill was exhilarating: wind in my hair, my inner tube

It takes 70,000 gallons of water per day to create Snow Mountain. In 2007 – the year Snow Mountain was set to debut – the attraction was canceled at the last minute because of drought.

ADVICE, MILESTONES THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, JANUARY 10, 2010 www.hpe.com

Blood pressure drugs protect the kidneys D

ear Dr. Donohue: The older I get, the more confused about medicine I get. Will you clarify something? Your article says that ACE-inhibitors preserve kidney function. I bought a Mayo Clinic Internal Medicine Concise Textbook. It says: “Side effects of ACE-inhibitors include orthostatic hypotension, hyperkalemia, cough, angioedema and loss of renal function.” No wonder I have told my doctor that I won’t take any medication for hypertension, which I have had for many years. – E.G. ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors are popular high blood pressure medicines. It’s worth a second to explain how they work. Our kidneys make a substance called renin. It has a role in regulating blood pressure. If blood pressure falls, the kidneys pour out renin. Renin is turned into another substance, called angiotensin I. Angiotensin I is then converted into angiotensin II by an enzyme called angiotensin-converting enzyme. Angiotensin II is the stuff that raises blood pressure. Blocking this conversion lowers blood pressure. That’s how ACE-inhibitors control hypertension, high blood pressure. Names of these medicines are captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), quinapril (Accupril), ramipril (Altace), lisinopril (Zestril) and trandolapril (Mavik). I am sure quite a few readers are taking one of those medicines. All high blood pressure medicines protect the kidneys from the ravages that high blood pressure inflicts on them. Furthermore, ACE-inhibitors have been shown to prevent one of the dreaded complications of scleroderma, the illness I wrote about when

I cited the beneficial effects of these medicines. That complication is called a kidney crisis. These medicines have added years to the lives of scleroderma patients. In the general populaHEALTH tion, ACE inhibitors can cause a drop of Dr. Paul blood pressure, which Donohue causes transient kidney ■■■ malfunction. Function returns to normal when the medicine is stopped. That unusual circumstance isn’t grounds for your stopping the medicine. Uncontrolled blood pressure wreaks havoc on the arteries, heart, brain and kidneys. Restart your medicine, please. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have taken four different statins and have had to go off all of them because of either muscle pain or diarrhea. After stopping them, I noticed my memory was much better. My doctor and pharmacist said memory loss is a side effect. Why isn’t this on any prescription? – M.W. Statins, the powerful cholesterollowering drugs, produce muscle pain in about 5 percent of users. In a much smaller percentage, they can cause muscle inflammation. Both respond to discontinuing the medicine. The manufacturer mentions both side effects in the detailed information on these drugs. In a very, very small number of people, statins cause memory problems and diarrhea. Truly, such side effects are quite rare. If doctors had to recite all possible side effects, even the very rare ones, an office visit would turn into a two-hour session. These side effects are also listed in the drug information from the manufacturers.

Wild West to modern rodeo: The look is new BY DAN ELLIOTT ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

D

ENVER – Thousands of cowboys and cowgirls will be decked out in their Western finery at the National Western Stock Show in Denver this month. But if an original cowboy from the late 1800s somehow stumbled in, would he recognize anybody? “He wouldn’t even recognize the cows,” said Steve Weil, president of Denver’s Rockmount Ranch Wear. Western wear today doesn’t look much like what the legendary young cowhands wore from the 1870s through the 1890s, designers and historians

’Who doesn’t long for what it represents? Wide open spaces, rugged individualism, the myth of the cowboy.’ Steve Weil President, Rockmount Ranch Wear say. The clothing has adapted to meet changing styles, just as cattle have been bred to meet evolving tastes. In the 1880s, Texas cowboys often wore battered, floppy hats and loose pants made of wool or canvas. Cowboys from California or other parts west of the Rockies more likely wore tighter pants made of denim and a red sash, a carry-over from the Mexican vaqueros. Or a cowboy’s clothes might be a chaotic mess with no discernible style at all, said Don Reeves, a curator at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. “In earlier times, you had such a mismatch of people and the clothes they wore. They looked more like refugees than cowboys,” said Reeves, who holds the McCasland Chair of Cowboy Culture at the museum. An event like the National Western, with 16 days of rodeo, livestock contests, auctions and Wild West shows, draws hundreds of thousands of people with a noticeably tidier look. Today’s well-dressed cowboys and cowgirls are more likely to wear a clean hat with a carefully creased crown, maybe in a style called “Cattleman” or “Montana” or “Gus.” They might also wear a brightly colored shirt and heavily starched jeans. “My dry-cleaning bill is through the roof,” said Keith Mundee, vice president for sales and marketing for Rocky Mountain Clothing Co. of Denver. “Just this weekend I spent $140 on starched jeans.” Cowboy boots may have changed the least over time. Such embellishments as high heels and decorated uppers appeared early as cowboys tried to set

Survey: Natives are fuzzy on New York facts NEW YORK (AP) – Forty-one percent of New Yorkers incorrectly think that Top of the Rock is on top of the Empire State building, and only 28 percent know that the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American Museum of Natural History are on opposite sides of Central Park, according to a survey. Fifty-eight percent of those who got the museum geography question wrong identified themselves as lifelong New Yorkers. The Metropolitan is on the east side of Central Park, at 82nd Street and Fifth Avenue, and the Natural History museum is on the west side, at 79th Street and Central Park West. Only 16 percent of those surveyed knew the correct location of Top of the Rock, in the GE Building at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, which is also home to NBC. The location of the New York Transit Museum is better-known: 44 percent said correctly that it is in Brooklyn. But only 18 percent of New Yorkers knew that the seven points on the Statue of Liberty’s crown represent the Seven Seas and Seven Continents.

It wasn’t until the 1920s and 30s, years after the cattle drives that made the cowboy an American hero, that the style we recognize today as Western wear began to emerge, Reeves and Weil said. That had as much to do with Hollywood and the music business as it did with working cowboys. “Western fashion as we know it really came into its own with the movies, the Western movie,” Weil said. Before the 1920s, “Western fashion as we know it did not exist.” The look hit its zenith in the 1940s

with the fancy outfits of Roy Rogers and Gene Autry, the singing cowboys and movie stars, Reeves said. “The Lone Ranger” and “Hopalong Cassidy” TV Westerns carried the look in the 1950s. Reeves once saw an original Lone Ranger costume, including stretchy blue tights. “It was, ew-w-w, kind of scary. You looked at the suit and it was kind of like dance class,” he said. But the Lone Ranger’s hat, boots and gun belt were enough to convince audiences that he was a cowboy. “Even though the rest of it had more to do with leotards than what cowboys wore, we said, ‘Yeah, that’s a cowboy.’ We made that cognitive leap,” Reeves said. Rodeo performers in the early 1900s had an underrated influence on the Western look, Reeves said. They started wearing bigger hats and brighter colors to get noticed, and teenagers in the audience began to imitate the style when they dressed up for a dance, if not when they went to work in the saddle. Western wear has evolved into a hardy industry, if a relatively small one. Sales figures are hard to come by, but Mundee of Rocky Mountain Clothing estimates the segment accounts for about $500 million a year in sales. The overall U.S. apparel market is about $200 billion a year, said Beth Boyle of NPD Group, a

market research provider. People in the Western wear business say it’s relatively stable, even during the recession. “We’ve always done well through the downturns,” Mundee said. “They may not buy a new truck, or horse, or saddle, but they always want to look good.” Weil said one of the industry’s strengths is that it embodies the West. “That was the whole point when my grandfather went into business, to make something for a Western identity which was emerging,” Weil said. His grandfather, “Papa Jack” Weil, founded the company in 1946 and is credited with developing such signature Western looks as snap-button shirts and pockets with a sawtooth pattern. Jack Weil, who died in 2008 at age 107, went to work daily until a few days before his death, his grandson said. Rockmount is now known for putting its Western shirts on the backs of everyone from guitarist Eric Clapton to actor Hugh Grant in “Did You Hear About the Morgans?” It’s a look that never goes out of fashion, Steve Weil said. “Who doesn’t long for what it represents? Wide open spaces, rugged individualism, the myth of the cowboy,” he said. “It’s something that people universally understand and respect.”

Female Cardinal visits feeder. If you want to bird watch, put out food before and during snow or bitter cold.

Extended cold snap is for the birds BY SONNY HEDGECOCK ENTERPRISE CHIEF PHOTOGRAPHER

TRIAD – Winter has arrived with a vengeance, bringing what we dislike most about it – cold, snow, ice. While these conditions are inconvenient to us, they can become a crisis to wildlife. Plants that normally harbor seeds are no longer available as a food source. This is where bird lovers can come through during winter. Birds need to eat more from feeders, and feeders should be stocked with high-calorie seed. Throwing out bread isn’t the best course of action, because bread fills birds up but doesn’t provide suitable calories. One of the best allaround seeds for our area is black oil sunflower seeds. Most birds love it, and the seed provides a lot of calories. The cheaper blended sacks of seeds probably should be avoided, as most have one or more seed types that

songbirds won’t eat. The premium mixes are OK, but straight sunflower is still less expensive. Suet is another good choice. It provides high calories, and woodpeckers love it. The commercial brands of suet are fine to use. I have known a number of folks who obtained beef fat from their favorite market, melted it, rendered it and use that for bird feed. Bird feeders themselves come in all shapes and designs. Some birds can’t perch and prefer feeders with a flat platform. I don’t believe any feeder is totally squirrel-proof, but the steel ones will last longer as they are harder for squirrels to destroy. Not only will putting out feeders help birds, but also can provide enjoyment for you sitting and watching birds feed. They can put on quite a show. In my case, photographing them is as relaxing as it can get.

This Blue Jay watches and waits his turn. Usually, he just flies onto one of the feeders and the other birds get out of the way, with one exception – the larger Woodpeckers don’t leave for anyone.

The most colorful bird in our area, this male Cardinal waits for a spot on the feeder.

Here’s a way to make your own form of one bird feed – suet. You need a 5- or 6-pound can of plain – not crunchy – peanut butter and a 4-pound tub of lard. Don’t substitute Crisco for lard. You’ll need a large box of raisins, preferably a 2-pound supply, and a 5-pound bag of plain, white or yellow corn meal. Finally, you’ll need several cups of black oil sunflower seeds. A 1-pound supply of millet is optional. Melt the lard and peanut butter on low heat. Add the raisins and blend everything well. Add the corn meal slowly, blending as you go. Add the sunflower seeds and, if you choose, the millet. Blend well and put in containers in a cool spot. Once it has hardened, it’s ready to use as feed.

Economist Ilham Tohti (left in the background), a 40-year-old professor from China’s predominantly Muslim Xinjiang region, gives a speech to students at the Central Nationalities University in Beijing, China. Popular on campus, articulate and moderate, he could be a valuable asset for China in its campaign to win Uighur hearts and minds, but officials have instead pushed him further away in the wake of the deadly July 5 riots in Xinjiang, accusing him of inciting the violence and lumping him together with alleged overseas separatists.

BY ALEXA OLESEN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

BEIJING – Young men climb a railing at the back for a better view, while a woman in a Muslim head scarf snaps photos on her cell phone. Every Friday afternoon, students pack a college classroom in Beijing to catch a glimpse of the sharply dressed professor punching the air as he speaks with surprising candor about the travails of his ethnic group, the Uighurs. “We are not descendants of the dragon but of the wolf,” Ilham Tohti shouts, drawing a clear line between the creation myths of the Han Chinese and the Uighur minority. “We were not created by the Chinese Communist Party. Our history stretches back much longer than 60 years.” The weekly lectures are a kind of high-wire act for the 40-year-old economist from Xinjiang, a predominantly Muslim region in China’s far west. He has been put under house arrest dozens of times over the past decade for criticizing how China runs his homeland and treats his people. The fearlessness so admired by his students, a Chinese ethnic mosaic of Hans, Uighurs, Kazakhs and others, is exactly what the government fears. Yet Tohti is not a separatist or even a political dissident. He’s a Communist Party member and a teacher at a top Chinese university who

That the government has so far refused to endorse his middle road and work with him shows how difficult it is to resolve differences between the party and its restive Uighurs and Tibetans. “Tohti stands out for his commitment to working within the established Chinese political order,” said Rian Thum, a Uighur history researcher at Harvard University. “He is an outspoken and articulate critic of many discriminatory Chinese policies,

but his writings do not challenge the ideological foundations of the People’s Republic or the legitimacy of Chinese rule in Xinjiang.” China’s Uighurs, about 10 million, make up less than 1 percent of China’s population and inhabit a region rich in oil and gas deposits that abuts Central Asia. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of militant Islam revived nationalism among some of the region’s mainly Muslim Uighurs for a separate Xinjiang, or what they call East Turkistan.

Freed prisoner considers lawsuit BY RAY GRONBERG MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

DURHAM – A man imprisoned for almost seven years before being exonerated of robbing a Durham Police Department evidence room technician has threatened to hit the city with a $25 million lawsuit unless officials settle with him. City officials received the warning last week from a lawyer representing Erick Daniels, who was accused of helping steal more than $6,000 in cash from Police Department employee Ruth Brown in 2000. The lawyer, Daron Satterfield, said in a cover letter that the department’s investigation of the hold-up was “a travesty of justice.” He enclosed a copy of the lawsuit Daniels and his mother, Karen

Daniel, who spells her name differently than her son, intend to file in federal court if the matter “is not resolved amicably.” The draft suit targets the city government, Brown and two police officers whose work helped convict Daniels, Investigator Delois West and Master Officer Darrell Brown. It contends the prospective defendants intentionally and negligently inflicted emotional distress on Daniels and his mother, and that the department as a whole allowed Ruth Brown and the two officers to obstruct justice by ignoring policy and the “established norms of professional conduct.” City Attorney Patrick Baker said he would brief the City Council in closed session during a previously scheduled work session.

Each class at Hickory

A music show hosted by the 52year-old Las Vegas headliner debuts Jan. 18 on about 60 stations across the country. “I’ve been up and down for the last 47 years. Up’s better, let me tell you,” the entertainer said in an interview with The Associated Press. “It is a roller coaster ride and you’re not up all the time, and when you are up you ride that wave and hope-

Osmond will record segments on his laptop and the show will be delivered to stations by syndication network Citadel Media, in partnership with McVay Syndication.

Davis joins Denzel Washington in ‘Fences’ NEW YORK (AP) – Oscar nominee Viola Davis will join Denzel Washington in the revival of August Wilson’s “Fences,” arriving on Broadway in April. “Fences” will open April 26 at the Cort Theatre with preview performances beginning April 14, producers Carole Shorenstein Hays and Scott Rudin recently announced. The production will be directed by Kenny Leon. Davis will play Rose, a woman, who, according to the actress, “unknowingly gives up her dreams and her power for

love.” Washington will portray her husband, the patriarchal Troy Maxson. The pivotal role of their son is still to be cast. In “Fences,” August “explores the life ... of the Davis everyday man,” Davis said. “But ... he places all of those struggles (within the context) of African-American men who also are facing the obstacle of race in America, which is a double whammy.”

Pitchmen without permission PETA features Michelle Obama in new anti-fur ad

Barack Obama image used on billboard NEW YORK (AP) – A largerthan-life President Barack Obama became a presidential pitchman Wednesday on a Times Square billboard that used his photo without permission. Outerwear company Weatherproof used a recent news photo

Obama stands alone and is captured in a striking, rugged pose.

A Times Square billboard shows President Barack Obama wearing a Weatherproof coat during his visit to China in November.

of the president in front of the Great Wall in Badaling, China, for the advertisement, with the tagline “A Leader In Style.” The White House said on Wednesday that it will ask Weatherproof to remove the billboard because the ad misleads by suggesting that it was approved by Obama or the White House, which has a longstanding policy disapproving of the use of Obama’s name and

likeness for commercial purposes. Obama stands alone in the image and is captured in a striking, rugged pose. Weatherproof president Freddie Stollmack said he first saw the photo in a newspaper while Obama was on his trip to China in November. The coat looked familiar, so Stollmack got out a magnifying glass and found the brand’s logo.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The fur is flying over a new ad campaign by an animal rights group the White House says is using first lady Michelle Obama’s image without her permission. The president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Ingrid Newkirk, said her organization wouldn’t have sought Mrs. Obama’s consent for the anti-fur ad because it knows that she can’t make such an endorsement. PETA included the first lady in its Washington ad campaign based on White House confirmation she does not wear fur. Mrs. Obama appears in the ad with celebrities Oprah Winfrey, Carrie Underwood and Tyra Banks.

WASHINGTON (AP) – A historic home-turned-museum just a stone’s throw from the White House is adding a new National Center for White House History to its job description. The center at Decatur House is a joint project of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which owns the three-story, redbrick house, and the White House Historical Association, which will operate the history center. Decatur House, which borders Lafayette Square across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House, was built in 1818 as the first private residence in the White House neighborhood. Since then, it has been a home to diplomats, secretaries of state and a vice president. Its former slave quarters are the only surviving evidence that humans were held in bondage within sight of the White House. In 1956, it was bequeathed to the National Trust, which established a museum, gift shop and event space available for rent. The new history center at Decatur House will support research related

to White House history, store historical documents, offer expanded educational programs for children, and host lectures and other programs that explore the history of

Neil Horstman, president of the White House Historical Association, said the history center hopes to pull together research materials about the White House that are scattered among more than 100 public and private presidential sites around the country, making them more accessible to scholars and the public. The center also plans extensive research on the slave dwellings at Decatur House.

How to weed through your home quickly for a 2010 sale I

f you are compelled to promptly sell your home because of financial issues that could lead to foreclosure, you might find yourself resisting your listing agent’s advice to weed through excess belongings before your place goes on the market. But Eric Tyson, co-author of “House Selling for Dummies,” says it’s imperative that you tackle this laborious task if you wish to improve your odds of a positive outcome on your sale. “Buyers can’t project themselves living in a place that’s crowded. So by failing to de-clutter, you could potentially lose thousands of dollars on your sale,” Tyson says. While most homeowners still occupy their property while it’s on the market, Tyson says you’ll need to remove a large number of items to make a property more appealing. Some unneeded possessions can be sold – if not at a neighborhood sale then perhaps on eBay. And discards contributed to charity could net you a tax deduction. Still unconvinced that it’s worth bothering to purge yourself of excess belongings before you move? If so, Tyson suggests you call in a moving company for an estimate on the cost of hauling all your unsorted belongings to your new location, which can be expensive. Here are pointers for those who must attack the clearing-out process expeditiously: • Equip yourself with all the gear you’ll need for the job. Martha Webb, a home-staging expert and author of “Dress Your House for Success,” says an efficient de- cluttering program starts with the right equipment. To store items that will go to your next home, you won’t need to buy fancy storage containers. In most cases, cardboard boxes will suffice. But look for boxes of uniform size, like the bankers boxes sold at office supply stores, which will stack neatly. After pre-packing the items that will move with you to the next property, place these out-of-sight in a temporary storage unit. Or, if you don’t wish to pay for the rental cost of a storage unit, place your boxes in your garage. • Take a room-by-room approach, starting with your master bedroom. Webb says you’ll go crazy if you go back and forth from room to room, trying to battle clutter on several fronts simultaneously. Instead, she counsels you to tackle just one room at a time, starting with your master bedroom and clearing out closets in this room first. “Buyers are very sensitive to the storage capacity of your closets, particularly in your bedrooms and hallways. That means you’ll want to remove as much as possible from these spaces. If you’ve cleared out enough, you should see the back wall of your closets when you’re done,” she says. • Use diplomacy when clearing out your kids’ bedrooms.

Young children feel an understandable sense of alarm at the notion that many of their toys will be packed up and put away until your move is complete. As Webb says, they need reassurance that SMART MOVES their prized toys will all Ellen be available to them once Martin your family reaches your ■■■ next home. “Tell the kids they can pick out a few special toys and bedtime story books to keep in their rooms until the move occurs. Mention that you’ll use these items, plus the ones you need to put away in the boxes, for a ‘toy party’ in the new house,” she says. • Give extra attention to your kitchen. As Webb says, most home shoppers won’t routinely look inside the furniture that stores your clothes in your bedrooms. But many will open a number of kitchen cabinets. “The last thing you want is for your prospects to see a kitchen so crammed with kitchen items that they’ll think it’s short on space for their own dishware and food,” she says. She urges you to remove every superfluous item from your kitchen storage areas. Then thoroughly clean all the cabinets and replace only those pieces you absolutely need for everyday use. The rest, like excess cookie sheets or holiday casserole dishes, should be sold, given away to charity or sent to storage. • Don’t overlook de-cluttering details anywhere in your home. Webb says that you should keep anything out of view that may take away from the positive attributes of your home. For example, she encourages you to remove all prescription medications from the medicine cabinets. Leaving them there not only invites theft, but also raises buyer curiosity about the people living in the property, which draws away from their interest in the house itself. She also suggests you remove from your bookshelves any titles that seem to convey a strong opinion on any topic, such as a political book. • Realize that the purging process can be cathartic once completed. Clearly, very few people relish the arduous job of going through years’ worth of accumulations. And this work can be particularly unpleasant if your move is an involuntary one that’s forcing you to downsize. But Tyson says many who go through this process discover to their surprise that once completed they feel less encumbered at having to manage fewer belongings. “There’s something really cathartic about ridding yourself of lots of unused things. It’s like getting a fresh start, even if you have to move against your will,” he says. TO CONTACT Ellen James Martin, e-mail her at ellenjamesmartin gmail.com.
