Truckers in Trinity find backing for petition against parking ban BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRINITY – A petition with more than 700 signatures against an ordinance surrounding the parking of tractor-trailers in residential neighborhoods was submitted to the Trinity City Council during its meeting Tuesday. “We the undersigned, being citizens of Trinity, N.C., are against any ordinance that prevents truck drivers from parking their tractor-trailers on their own property in the city of Trinity,” the petition reads. Ed Lohr, a Trinity resident and longtime truck driver, spearhead-

ed the petition. Lohr said his wife and brother also are in the trucking business. “I didn’t see one person who opposed it,” Lohr said. “They passed that law back in the summer with no representation. They had two or three people from the opposite side. You don’t do politics that way. ... I think most people just don’t want laws telling them what they can put in their yard.” 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. A moratorium was placed on the ordinance during a October preagenda meeting until the following month’s meeting, where the City Council decided to table the ordinance until its retreat. At the retreat earlier this month, the City Council directed staff to rework the ordinance after hearing a proposal to make changes to it. 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. Ann Bailie, Trinity’s city manager, said staff is currently working on amendments to the truck ordinance. The City Council is expected to consider the amendment next month. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Randolph CIS moves to a new location. 1B

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

RANDOLPH COUNTY – Three Randolph County organizations have joined up for a project that will reach out to 60 students at Archdale-Trinity Middle School. As part of a “job shadowing project,” Communities In Schools of Randolph County, the Archdale-Trinity Rotary Club and the Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Commerce are looking for businesses to allow employees to participate in the project. “It’s targeted to eighthgraders, but it gives them a chance to actually spend a lot of time in a career that they kind of have an interest in and give them an idea of what the world of work is all about,” said Gwen Taylor, assistant director of Communities In Schools of Randolph County. “A lot of them probably haven’t spent any time other than school or at home, no career experience, so this just gives them a little taste of what to expect.” Employees will be expected to work with stu-

Each student will be matched to a business that closely meets their desired vocational goals. “We do this job shadowing as part of our Transitions Program,” Taylor said. “Transitions is geared to middle school

and ninth grade because most kids make the decision to drop out at that age, so we are trying to concentrate on middle school to keep the kids from making that decision to drop out.” “This is ... why we partner with the chamber because they do a have a

broad base of career options for the kids,” Taylor added. “The people in the Archdale-Trinity Chamber are always real good just to step up. ... We would really like to have some partners. Because we are partnering with the chamber, the chamber members get the first shot,

but we would love to have some community partners step up.” For more information on the job shadowing project, call the chamber at 4342073 or Communities In Schools of Randolph County at 625-0008. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Wall said if it weren’t for the program, Meadows’ home would still be sitting empty in its neighborhood, located in the 27265 ZIP code, and Meadows would still be looking for an affordable house. Now working with the city to make the necessary repairs, Meadows also agreed he wouldn’t be in his home without the program. “At first it seemed a little too good to be true,” he said. “Sometimes you get pretty good deals with foreclosures.

No text zone Daughter, father can’t stop using cell phone while driving MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Honor guard members carry the remains of Raymond Edward Vivier last Friday during burial services at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va. Vivier, a homeless man living in Cleveland, died in a boarding house fire after rescuing 5 people.

Heroic homeless veteran gets proper burial ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) – Ray Vivier had been an adventurer, a Marine veteran who explored the country from South Carolina to Alaska, the father of five children. The 61-year-old also was a man starting to get his life back together after living for years in a shanty beneath a Cleveland bridge. He had struggled with alcoholism, but by November he had a welding job, friends and a place to stay at a boarding house. He rescued five people from that house when arsonists set it ablaze – but Vivier couldn’t save himself. He and three others

died, and two people have been charged in their deaths. Vivier’s body, unclaimed and unidentified for weeks, seemed destined for an anonymous, modest burial. However, Jody Fesco – who met Vivier while she was volunteering at a soup kitchen and had even invited him to her wedding – heard that Vivier may have died. Fesco and her husband contacted their friend Haraz Ghanbari, an Associated Press photographer, about the situation. Ghanbari took the lead to make sure Vivier wasn’t forgotten, tracking down the family members and arranging a proper funeral.

much about the man he was trying to become. They remember their dad’s struggles with alcohol and other troubles. “What I’m trying to get out of this is to have one good, concrete memory that I can have of him for what he did to save those people,” said his oldest daughter, Elisha Vivier. “I’m proud of the man that he was becoming.” Vivier was a private in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1965 and 1966, though he didn’t see combat. He was stationed at Parris Island, S.C., Cruz said. After his discharge, Vivier spent years working as a machinist.

On Friday, Vivier’s ashes were inurned at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. “You can see from what he did that he definitely had a good heart,” said Mercedes Cruz, Vivier’s ex-wife of 23 years, who attended the funeral with the couple’s children. “No matter what our difficulties were in our marriage, I’m very proud of what’s happened.” For his grown children – who now are scattered around the country – Vivier had been gone for about 15 years. They know of his heroism now – but they don’t know

ROCKY MOUNT – Tyler Strandberg of Rocky Mount has a hard time getting her mind off her BlackBerry when she drives. She has crashed three cars in the past three years. Each time, she was distracted from her driving because she was typing text messages or talking on the phone. “Sometimes I will zone out and forget I’m driving,” said Tyler, 23. “If I’m on the phone talking about something that takes up all my focus, I’m looking straight ahead – but not even seeing what’s there.” Her dad, Buckley Strandberg, worries that she will never curb her dangerous habit. But Buckley, an insurance executive, confesses his own weakness for Blackberry and Bluetooth. He feels compelled to conduct business by phone and e-mail on long, lonely drives between his offices in Rocky Mount and Nags Head. “That’s more than two hours,” said Buckley, 49. “I’m not just going to sit there in the car. I get a lot of work done on that straight, dead stretch of U.S. 64.

REOPENING DATES

GUILFORD COUNTY – Oak Ridge School is safe for students, several school district officials assured county commissioners during a special joint meeting last week. School officials will reopen the school Feb. 22. It was closed last June to investigate reports of mold and to repair the heating and air conditioning system. Repairs and moving costs could total as much as $1.5 million, according to estimates. Students and staff have complained of headaches, fatigue and other problems for years at the school, but investigators found no “smoking gun” in their investigation, which included representatives of the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. “The district did a thorough job,” said school board member Darlene Garrett, who has followed repairs

Egypt mufti wants to put prayer ringtone on silent CAIRO (AP) – Egypt’s top cleric wants Muslims to answer the call to prayer, but not when it’s ringing on their cellphones. Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa issued a fatwa, or a religious edict, on Wednesday urging Muslims to do away with a popular fad – Quranic verses or the five daily calls to prayer as cellphone ringtones. The

government-appointed cleric says such ringtones are inappropriate, misleading and demeaning to God’s words. “God’s words are sacred. ... He ordered us to respect them and glorify them,” Gomaa said. Muslims are required to pray five times a day, and the time for this is announced solely with calls to prayers from mosques, Gomaa said.

“The calls to prayer are to announce it is time ... using it as a ringtone is confusing and misleading.” Edicts, or fatwas, serve as advice for the pious who observe them closely. Gomaa’s edict, published on the official web site of Dar al-Iftah, one of Sunni Islam’s earliest institution for interpreting religion, is not binding.

mold or mildew discovered during the process. The district spent $600,000 for new dehumidifying equipment. “I’m sure we will have a successful opening,” said Angelo Kidd, the district’s western region superintendent. “We hope that most parents will say that the school is fine,” said Superintendent Mo Green. Mold has been found at the school twice in the past four years and several parents have told the school board they are not confident that repairs will provide clean air. Green said parents can seek transfers “as appropriate” after the school reopens. District officials are considering using state technology and bond funds to help pay for the repairs. The district also has filed lawsuits against building contractors, Green said, to recover some repair costs.

Parks and Recreation Department and its Active Living by Design advisory committee. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long way for UNC junior David Baron, who took a year off from school to help start the garden. Baron didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have a garden growing up in Atlanta. His father started one through their synagogue after hearing the director of the Atlanta Food Bank speak. But the garden struggled. With the vegetables all going to the poor, it was hard to get enough people to regularly come out and work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sustainable,â&#x20AC;? Baron said. So HOPE Gardens will be a hybrid. Part will be a traditional community garden, where residents who pay $100 for a plot can take home what they grow. Part will be an urban farm, where volunteers and homeless workers will grow broccoli to blueberries. And part will be an education center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very unique model,â&#x20AC;? said Regina Blalock, chair of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Active Living by Design committee, who sees the biggest benefits as social.

BURLINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Burlington water consumers should prepare to see their water bills go up this year. And next year. And probably the year after that, too. Now that the city knows itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to have to pay at least $22.5 million to upgrade its two water treatment plants to conform to the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new water laws, city leaders have started planning incremental increases to pay for them. City Manager Harold Owen and Water Resources Manager Bob Patterson say that increases will probably come over a three-year period to take some of the shock out of rise in cost. Concrete figures for those increases havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been discussed and probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be until budget talks this spring, Owen said Friday.

It’s career politicians against American citizens BY BILL MICHAL

ake up! This is your alarm clock speaking and the operative word is “alarm.” I am letting you know the exact time. It is “fish or cut bait” time. I realize that when you have been sleeping on the fence for such a long time, it is really difficult to shake off the cobwebs and make a real decision. So I will make it very easy for you. All you need to do is answer these three statements as either “true” or “false”: 1) The Founding Fathers of America were nothing exceptional and were just “lucky” that America got off to such a fabulous start. 2) The U.S. Constitution was fairly sharp and agile in its youth but has now grown old, decrepit, and senile. 3) What you want and need for

the rest of your life is to have career politicians making all your decisions and taking care of your assets. If you answered “true” to the above, I have great news for you. Don’t bother trying to shake the cobwebs; you can discard me altogether. You probably did not know the name but you just learned you are a disciple of “American progressivism.” Our current president and Congress are steering the nation exactly where you want it to go. You don’t need to do anything! When you finally do wake up, the ship of state will be securely and irrevocably chained to the dock of socialism and your every need will be met by the government. On the other hand, if you answered “false” to the above, you no longer even have time to hit the snooze button. You have major problems: You apparently believe George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, James Madison, etc. were individuals of great historic importance. You apparently believe the Constitution is the greatest governmental document ever written and is largely responsible for America having been the greatest nation in the history of mankind. Worst of all, you apparently want to exercise control over your life and assets, i.e. you desire to remain free. (In all likelihood the phrase, “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” will ring a familiar bell with you). You are definitely out of step with your elected leaders. The good news is that you are still in step with the vast majority of Americans. You and they are literally being ignored by the very people who are supposed to represent you. Understand this very, very clearly: This has nearly nothing to do with Democrats versus Republicans. The constantly-used terms, “conservative” and “liberal” contribute little to grasping your problem. It is almost totally about career politicians versus American citizens. Even though you have learned that you are not a disciple of “American progressivism,” if you roll back over now and do nothing, you might as well be. Now is the time for every good man and woman to come to the aid of their country. Act now! BILL MICHAL is a resident of High Point | 883-2156

Biblical verses on weapons have to go H

ave you heard about the Jesus rifles? ABC News broke the story last week. It seems there was this fellow named Glyn Bindon, who used weapons of war to speak for his faith. Bindon, who lost his life in a 2003 plane crash, was the founder of Trijicon, a Michigan company that has a $600 million contract to provide gun sights to the U.S. military. Apparently he had a policy, which survived him, of inscribing coded references to Bible verses on the gun sights he manufactured for high-powered rifles used by U.S. service personnel. So that, for instance, one sight is marked, 2COR4:6, i.e., 2 Corinthians 4:6: “God said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness.’ He made his light shine in our hearts. It shows us the light of God’s glory in the face of Christ.” Tom Munson, a Trijicon executive, told ABC there was nothing wrong or illegal about the inscriptions and noted pointedly that the issue was being raised by a group (presumably meaning the Muslims who have complained) that is “not Christian.” On Thursday, the company agreed

to discontinue the practice. Still, Munson’s remarks deserve a riposte. Here it is: In the first place, the gun sights actually seem a clear OPINION violation of a regulation specifically Leonard prohibiting service Pitts personnel from pros■■■ elytizing in Iraq and Afghanistan. In the second place, the revelation is a fresh embarrassment for the United States, which has labored for nine years to convince the Muslim world that it is not leading a Christian crusade against Islam. In the third place, the coded scriptural references provided a recruiting tool to warlords and terrorists who could truthfully tell followers they were being shot at by Jesus guns. In the fourth place, Munson’s airy dismissal of his critics as “not Christian” (e.g., we can ignore them) speaks volumes about the smug, insular fundamentalism at work here. In the fifth place, there is a

rather jarring cognitive disconnect involved in seeing weapons of war used to lionize the prince of peace. And finally, in the sixth place: is this not one of the cheesiest expressions of religious faith you’ve ever seen? Not that that would make it unique. On the contrary, we specialize in cheesy expressions of faith here in God’s favorite country. Indeed, you could build a tower unto heaven itself out of all the roadside Jesuses, prayer cloths, Ten Commandments rocks, and other trinkets of a cheap, disposable faith that says nothing, costs nothing, does nothing, “risks” nothing, that speaks not of God, external and eternal, but only of the grubby, temporal perspectives and fears of groundbound women and men. Last November, the University of Chicago published a study quantifying the blazingly obvious: people tend to create God in their own image, to ascribe to the deity their own opinions, interests and beliefs. But is that really faith, when you reduce God to a bigger version of you? Mother Teresa’s faith drove her to foreswear material riches

and spend half a century working to uplift the wretched poor of Calcutta. Martin Luther King Jr.’s faith drove him to gamble his very life in a dangerous campaign to win human and civil rights for African-American people. And then there’s Glyn Bindon, whose faith led him to inscribe coded Bible verses on his gun sights. The point is not that he or we can do what Martin Luther King Jr. did or be who Mother Teresa was — we all suffer in that comparison. No, the point is that truest faith is not seen in a secret code on a gun sight, a trinket from a store or words on a rock. Rather, faith is seen in the substance of a life lived in service to others, lived as if God were “not” in fact one’s personal echo chamber in the sky. I submit that this is the only kind of faith that matters. And that it speaks for itself.

Afghans postpone parliamentary elections

Premier: Israel to keep parts of West Bank JERUSALEM – Israel’s prime minister declared on Sunday that his country would retain parts of the West Bank forever – a statement that infuriated Palestinians and could complicate the year-old peace mission of a visiting U.S. envoy. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu laid claim to disputed territory just hours after meeting with George Mitchell, the Obama administration’s Middle East envoy.

Officials: US drone crashes in Pakistan PESHAWAR, Pakistan – A suspected U.S. drone crashed in Pakistan’s lawless tribal area near the Afghan border Sunday, a rare mishap for a program Washington has increasingly relied on to kill Taliban and al-Qaida militants, said intelligence officials and a local resident. Local tribesmen in North Waziristan were congratulating each other for shooting down the drone, said resident Saudur Rehman.

Saudi girl to be whipped for assault at school RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – A teenage girl has been sentenced to a 90-lash flogging and two months in prison as punishment for assaulting a teacher, a Saudi judge said in an interview published Sunday. Human rights group Amnesty International said the assault happened after the girl was caught with a camera phone at school. The teenager’s name was not immediately available. She could be spared with a pardon from King Abdullah, said Judge Riyadh al-Meihdib.

Militants kill Pakistanis for alleged US spying PESHAWAR, Pakistan – Authorities found the bodies of six Pakistani men near the Afghan border Sunday who were killed by militants for allegedly spying for the U.S. in an area that has been hit by a wave of drone missile strikes in recent weeks, said intelligence officials and residents. The bodies of the men – one of whom had been decapitated – were found in North Waziristan, part of Pakistan’s lawless tribal region that is dominated by militant groups staging cross-border attacks.

CAIRO (AP) – Osama bin Laden endorsed the failed attempt to blow up a U.S. airliner on Christmas Day and threatened new attacks against the United States in an audio message released Sunday that appeared aimed at asserting he maintains some direct Bin Laden command over al-Qaida-inspired offshoots. However, U.S. officials and several researchers who track terrorist groups said there was no indication bin Laden or any of his top lieutenants had anything to do with or even knew in advance of the Christmas plot by a Yemen-based group that is one of several largely independent al-Qaida franchises. A U.S. State Department spokesman said al-Qaida’s core leadership offers such groups strategic guidance but depends on them to carry it out.

KABUL – The Afghan government postponed parliament elections for four months on Sunday, citing security concerns, logistical problems and a lack of enough money from the country’s international partners to pay for them. The U.S. and its allies urged the Afghans to use the time to reform the electoral system to avoid a repeat of last year’s fraud-marred election, which undercut international support for President Hamid Karzai and threatened the Obama administration’s strategy.

Obama on banks: A bit pragmatic amid the populism WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; President Barack Obama is pressing an overhaul of Wall Street regulations with a pushand-pull strategy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; reasserting his desire for a consumer agency that Republicans despise while proposing new bank restrictions that even Republicans could love. As he readies for his State of the Union speech Wednesday, the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach reflects

the demands of a new political landscape in Washington, where Republicans now have the votes to block Democratic initiatives in the Senate. On the Wall Street front, Obama is trying to capitalize on public anger by making a populist pitch sharply critical of big bankers while also extending a pragmatic hand to Republicans with a proposal that, at the very least, has intrigued them.

Officials mull local twilight school BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – To build on a successful offering in Greensboro, school officials are considering a twilight school for High Point. Of the dozens of initiatives in Superintendent Mo Green’s strategic plan, special schools have raised a lot of interest. School officials reviewed the plan again Saturday during a retreat in Greensboro. Twilight schools operate after regular school hours for a minimum of

Guilford County Schools operates 50 magnet programs in 44 schools – 18 elementary schools, 10 middle schools, one high school and one alternative school.

four hours daily. Students receive assistance in securing employment during the regular school day. The school provides an individual plan for each student. The Greensboro school

has graduated 130 students. Another 30 graduated Jan. 21. The program will expand to 100 students in the second semester. A 2012 strategic plan goal calls for increasing the high school graduation rate, and special schools are seen as one way of doing that. “I am glad to see that a High Point site is under consideration,” said school board member Carlvena Foster of High Point. A parent university that Foster supports is ahead of schedule for its opening as soon as next January

because of public support, according to school officials. The university program is aimed at helping parents become full partners in the education of their children so they can seek higher achievement with them. Current work includes a parent survey and forming focus groups. Meanwhile, a proposed high school science academy program at the Natural Science Center in Greensboro, originally scheduled to open this year, still is under development as district officials seek grants

to pay faculty, said Beth Folger, chief academic officer. The opening could be delayed past August 2011. The school will be sciencefocused and include handson learning. Overall, of the 79 strategies in the plan, eight have been completed, including an administrative reorganization with five regional offices. Seventy-two percent of the plan goals are on time or slightly delayed, and just six, including the science academy, are off track. dnviens@hpe.com | 888-3626

RANDOLPH COUNTY – Communities In Schools of Randolph County has a new home. Gwen Taylor, CIS of Randolph County assistant director, said her nonprofit organization recently moved its business office to 1011 Sunset Ave. in Asheboro. CIS of Randolph County was formerly located at 313-A Trindale Road in Archdale. “This is just moving our business office,” Taylor said. “This will have no impact or at least no detriment on any of the programs that we operate in the Archale-Trinity area.” CIS of Randolph County needed to make the move to Asheboro for several reasons. CIS of Randolph County needed more space to store items for BackPack Pals program, which provides food for children in Randolph County Schools who would not otherwise have food over weekends. The move also is expected to reduce expenses because the nonprofit will be more “centrally located” in Randolph County, Taylor said. According to Taylor, CIS of Randolph County is leasing an older house in Asheboro. She said the nonprofit plans to operate out of that location for the “foreseeable future.” Taylor emphasized there will be no reduction in services in the Archdale-Trinity area, with CIS of Randolph County still organizing Bulldog Buddies, a mentoring program where Trinity High School assists students in elementary schools. In fact, she said the nonprofit is planning on starting a similar program at Wheatmore High. “We will continue to offer the same level of services in the Archdale-Trinity area, but we just hope to make new friends in the Asheboro area and throughout the county,” Taylor said. CIS of Randolph County can now be reached at 6250008. The nonprofit also says it will keep its local office at John Lawrence Elementary. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Mosbacher, former Commerce chief, dies HOUSTON (AP) – Robert Mosbacher Sr., a Houston oil multimillionaire who served as U.S. Commerce secretary under his close friend, President George H.W. Bush, died Sunday. He was 82. Mosbacher died after a yearlong battle with pancreatic cancer, family spokesman Jim McGrath. The Texan most recently served as a general campaign chairman for 2008 GOP presidential nominee John McCain. As Commerce secretary, Mosbacher helped lay the foundation for the North American Free Trade Agreement. “Together we shared a journey that led to the presidency, the mountaintop of American politics, and there we worked together to help America more fully embrace the world around us and compete in the newly emerging global markets that the waning Cold War made accessible,” Bush said in a statement.

ear Abby: My mother is a spry, 75-year-old woman who has expressed an unusual request. She has told us â&#x20AC;&#x153;kidsâ&#x20AC;? that when she is called by the angels, she wants to be dressed in an aqua nightgown or PJs, and to be lying on her side. She says she will be sleeping for a long time, and she wants to make sure sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comfortable. She also says if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t carry out her wishes, she will come back and haunt us. I have attended many wakes, but I can honestly say I have never seen anything like this done before. What do you think? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Wants To Do Right By Mama in Massachusetts

Dear Wants To Do Right: I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful that your mother is discussing this now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and I hope your letter will encourage more readers to begin this kind of important conversation with their loved ones. Because the alternative is to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;hauntedâ&#x20AC;? to eternity, you should honor your motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes. But because laws vary from state to state, readers who want to find out what the law is in their state should visit www. funerals.org and view the Personal Preference page. Dear Abby: My son â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pete,â&#x20AC;? who is in his late 20s, has had a battle with drugs since he was 17. Af-

ter numerous trips to rehab, thousands of dollars and too many heartADVICE breaks to number, Dear his dad and Abby I decided to â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; tell him he is no longer welcome in our home. We did not reach this decision lightly. We have other children and grandchildren to consider. We have lived in this small town all our lives. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to answer peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s questions about why we have no contact with Pete or why we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tried other solutions. I have cried myself to sleep many nights over careless comments that have been made. We love our son dearly, but we can no longer be his crutch to lean on. Please tell me how to answer these people without being rude and hurtful. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Desperate Mom in Louisiana

Dear Mom: The thoughts you conveyed in your letter are excellent replies to thoughtless people who question your decision. You DID try â&#x20AC;&#x153;other solutions.â&#x20AC;? They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work, and there are other relatives who must be considered. Sometimes addicts must hit bottom before they finally accept that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the final analysis

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they have to help themselves recover. If you are questioned more than once, tell the person plainly that this was a painful decision for you and your husband and to please not raise the subject again. Dear Abby: I have purchased season tickets for the local professional hockey team from a former co-worker for the last five years. We worked together for eight years and had a good relationship until this recent issue. This year, when I called to ask about the tickets, she informed me that she had already sold them on Craigslist. I was upset because she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offer them to me first. I would have paid her the asking price without complaint. I understand that they were her tickets and she could do what she wanted with them, but I feel she was inconsiderate and rude not to at least offer them to me before selling them to a total stranger. We are no longer speaking. Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the right? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mad in Minnesota Dear Mad: She should have warned you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but if it ended the friendship, it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been much of one to begin with.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For the past decade, North Carolina Democrats in charge of state government have been successful persuading the public theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unlike fellow party colleagues whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ended up behind bars. Democrats have remained in power in the Legislature and at the Executive Mansion despite the news of illegal activities that sent then-House Speaker Jim Black, Agriculture Commissioner Meg Scott Phipps and Rep. Thomas Wright to prison. Last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s indictment of corruption charges against Ruffin Poole, a close aide to former Gov. Mike Easley, however, comes when Democrats lack the advantages of recent years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This could be a scenario where you have the megastorm, where you have just a terrible economy, you have unrest and anger with the electorate and then you have (corruption) on top of it,â&#x20AC;? said Brad Crone, a Democratic consultant in Raleigh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a constant drumbeat ... there will be a price to pay for it.â&#x20AC;?

Dedication has always been there

istory was not one of my favorite subjects in high school, but as the years roll by I find myself much more intrigued about past events. While researching an upcoming article I found several interesting articles about past fires. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fascinating to compare how reporters wrote 100 years ago as compared to now. These fires had no huge property losses. Most could have FIREHOUSE happened CHAT in any town during the Lee late 1800s Knight and early â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; 1900s. What they show is the continued dedication of the fire service to serve and protect. The fire service has changed over the years, but our dedication has not. Here are a few stories. Hope you enjoy. Shanty Fire, January 1889 A fire was discovered in a small shanty, close in the rear of Stuartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hotel, at 2 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock this morning. The alarm was quickly responded to, but the shanty was burned. Hard work by the department saved the fire from spreading. A drummer, named Smith, fell from the second story of the hotel during the fire, and is laid up for repairs. His ankle is sprained. The destruction of the house is complete. The loss about $100. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta, Ga. Livery Stable Fire, December 1912 What proved to be a disastrous fire occurred Thanksgiving morning about 2 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock, at Charmian. A livery-stable with many vehicles was entirely destroyed, entailing a probable loss of $2,500. Early Thursday morning, Clarence Martin, who operates a livery on the mountain, noticed flames issuing from his stable. He hurried to the scene and by lusty shouts aroused the neighbors of the immediate vicinity who went to his assistance in fighting the flames. A bucket brigade was formed and a systematic fight against the conflagration was begun. The fire, which started in the carriage shed, ate its way to the stable which adjoined it. By good fortune, the horses, six in number, were all safely got from the burning buildings. An attempt was made to save the vehicles but only three could be pulled from the blazing place. Twenty carriages, harness feed, hay, etc., were totally destroyed. The loss will be about $2,500, partly covered by insurance. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Adams County News, Gettysburg, Pa. Firefighters have a history of dedication to service. 24/7/365: You call; we respond. KENNETH LEE KNIGHT is a battalion chief in the High Point Fire Department.

GARFIELD

Thyroid hormone speeds body metabolism

ear Dr. Donohue: I am 51 and have an overactive thyroid gland. The doctor had me get an ultrasound of my gland, and it shows a lot of nodules in it. What does that mean? Is it serious? What shall I do? – W.W.

BLONDIE

The thyroid gland is a large gland located in the front and lower half of the neck. Its hormone – thyroid hormone – regulates body metabolism. It keeps cell chemistry perking along at the optimum pace. Without enough of the hormone, things slow down; with too much, they speed up. The heart beats fast even when resting. The hands and fingers develop a fine trembling. The skin is warm and moist. Weight is lost even in the face of a good appetite. Menstrual periods are thrown out of kilter. Diarrhea can be a problem. Usually, an overactive gland grows larger (a goiter), and it can be seen as a bulge in the lower neck. That condition is called Grave’s disease. Your gland is overactive and has nodules. Nodules are lumps with fluid or gluey material inside them. They can be felt, or they can be seen on a scan of the gland. A nodular thyroid gland that makes too much thyroid hormone is called a toxic multinodular goiter. “Toxic” indicates the overproduction of thyroid hormone, and “goiter” means the gland is larger than normal. I can’t tell you why it happens. No one can. Antithyroid medicines stop the production of thyroid hormone, one treatment for your condition. Radioactive iodine is another treatment.

The iodine makes a beeline for the thyroid gland and puts it out of commission. It’s much HEALTH like having surgical removal of Dr. Paul the gland Donohue without ■■■ surgery. And finally, surgery is another way to treat this problem. Your doctor will help you decide which method is the best for you. Dear Dr. Donohue: My gpandson, who is 11 years old, is having problems with his feet. The doctor says he has Sever’s disease. He can hardly walk on his heels. Could you give me some information on this? – N. Sever’s disease is something that happens to active children who run a lot. Those between the ages of 8 and 12 are the target group. The Achilles tendon (heel cord) attaches to the back of the heel, and its constant pulling on the bone causes minute breaks and bone inflammation. That’s the source of your grandson’s pain. Both heels can be affected. Rest is the most important element of treatment. “Rest” doesn’t mean complete inactivity. The child can do things that don’t cause him any pain. Icing the painful area three times a day lessens pain. Apply ice for about 15 minutes at a time. Heel lifts or heel pads help cushion the heel and rest the tendon. Pain medicine is appropriate. Tylenol works

and is safe for someone your grandson’s age. The condition usually improves in four to eight weeks. Dear Dr. Donohue: I was diagnosed with oral lichen planus after a biopsy. My prescription medicine was fluocinonide ointment. I have used it, but haven’t had any improvement. I was told it is an immune system problem. Please explain the cause and possible treatments. – L.R. Lacy white patches or open sores are the calling cards of oral lichen planus. They appear in the mouth, on the gums or on the tongue. The immune system has been implicated as a cause. Sometimes the skin is involved along with the mouth. Your medicine, fluocinonide (Lidex), is a strong cortisone drug and is one of the standard medicines used for oral lichen planus. If applying a cortisone drug on the involved areas doesn’t work, injecting them with a cortisone drug might. One such drug is triamcinolone. Ointments of different drugs, like tacrolimus or cycylosporine, also have met with some success. Methotrexate, azathioprine or mycophenolate are other possibilities. Oral lichen planus is often a chronic condition and has to be dealt with on a lengthy basis. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Blood drive honors memory of firefighter Chad Greene BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

im Greene still laughs at the running joke she and her late husband, Chad, had always enjoyed. “The vampires called again,” she would tell Chad, a city of High Point firefighter. “They want to suck your blood.” This was Kim’s way of letting Chad know the American Red Cross had called with a reminder of an upcoming blood drive. Chad would laugh, then promptly get on the phone and schedule an appointment to donate blood, something he’d been doing for years. “Chad had always given blood, and every time the Red Cross called, he was excited to give,” Kim recalls. “He would always go give, no matter when and no matter where.” So when a Red Cross official suggested having a blood drive in Chad’s memory, Kim loved Kim Greene the idea. “I thought it would be great, because he really believed in giving blood,” she explains. “It was his other way of helping people.” The blood drive will be held Friday, from 2:30 to 7 p.m., at Union Cross Volunteer Fire Station, where Chad had been a volunteer firefighter for nearly 20 years before his untimely death in

Kim Greene Chad Greene’s widow

Chad Greene died Nov. 4, leaving behind a wife, daughter Emma, 7, and son Jake, 4.

November, at age 34. Kim says it’s fitting for the drive to be held at the fire station, where he had discovered his passion for being a firefighter when he was just a teenager. “He pretty much ate, slept and breathed (firefighting),” she says. “I think he woke up thinking about it and went to bed thinking about it. It was definitely his passion. It was all he had wanted to do since he was 15, and he loved it.” In addition to his years of service with the Union Cross department, Chad had served as a city of High Point firefighter since 1995. Chad died on Nov. 4 – 10 days shy of the couple’s 10th wedding anniversary – after experiencing an aortic dissection, which is a rupture in the wall of the aorta. Kim remembers that her husband spent a good part of that day doing the things he loved most – working

A blood drive in memory of firefighter Chad Greene will be held Friday, from 2:30 to 7 p.m., at Union Cross Volunteer Fire Station, 4401 High Point Road, Kernersville. Appointments are recommended and can be made by calling Bryan Knight at (336) 399-8657. at the fire department and spending time with his family. “He was at work that morning and was supposed to take our son (4-year-old Jake) to preschool,” Kim says. “He said, ‘Bring him to the fire station, and I’ll take him to school.’ So I did,

and Jake played with Daddy on the fire trucks for a few minutes while I went on to work (she’s a preschool teacher at Union Cross Moravian Church). They came and saw me at the school and gave me kisses, and Chad stayed around for about 30 minutes, joking with me and some of the other teachers. He left around 10 to go get something to eat before going on home.” That was the last time Kim saw her husband alive. When she got home a couple of hours later, shortly after noon, she found his body. Having a blood drive in Chad’s memory seems entirely appropriate, Kim says, because he loved doing things to help others. “He loved his job so much,” she says. “He just loved helping people and knowing he made a difference.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

We just want the baby to be healthy W

e don’t care if it is a boy or a girl – we just want the baby to be healthy. This common response echoes universal concerns of many parents. According to a recent March of Dimes study, the No. 1 worry of expectant parents is that the baby will be born with a birth defect. Though the vast majority of babies are born perfectly healthy, an estimated 3 out of 100 babies are born with a birth defect. In the United States, birth defects are the number one cause of death in babies before their first birthday. There are more than 4,000 different kinds of birth defects ranging from serious to minor, and 60 percent to 70 percent have unknown causes. What experts do know is that many are caused by environmental or genetic factors (or a combination of the two/both). Some common birth defects are heart defects,

cleft lip/palate, Down syndrome, and spina bifida. Tests such as blood work and ultrasounds can let parents know if their baby is likely FOR THE to have a birth defect, allowing HEALTH them to prepare OF IT and access support systems. The Cara tests may suggest Derounian further diagnostic ■■■ testing such as an ultrasound or amniocentesis. Some birth defects can be treated before birth with medication or even surgery. Prenatal diagnosis also allows the parents and medical staff to plan for the delivery and to provide the baby with any needed care as soon as possible. Fortunately, the risk of many birth defects can be reduced

with a few best practices. Have a checkup before you are pregnant to make sure you are as healthy as possible – especially getting chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure under control. Some serious birth defects can be caused by not having all your vaccinations current and by having untreated sexually transmitted diseases. Take a multivitamin every day that has at least 400 mcg of folic acid. Maintain a healthy weight, exercise regularly and eat nutritious foods. Avoid eating under-cooked meat or fish with high levels of mercury. While pregnant, avoid rodents and get someone else to change the cat’s litter box. Don’t smoke, and avoid second-hand smoke as much as possible. Do not use alcohol or drugs, and ask your provider about any medication you are taking. Early and regular prenatal care is also critical for the best health possible for you and your

baby. All women in Guilford County have access to prenatal care through private providers, the health department, or the Adopt-A-Mom program. Even if you are not pregnant now, there are important steps you can take that will improve your health and minimize the risks for your baby later. Since half of all pregnancies are unplanned, being healthy before you get pregnant is very important for women. It may seem like a long list of do’s and don’ts but should put your mind at ease that you are doing everything you can to have a healthy baby.

A fast-acting compound that appears to improve cognitive function impairments in mice similar to those found in patients with progressive Alzheimer’s disease has been identified by scientists at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and the Vanderbilt University Medical Center Program in Drug Discovery. Researchers hope to replicate the result in humans one day. The compound – benzylquinolone carboxylic acid (BQCA) – has also been shown in previous rodent studies to lessen the occurrence and severity of the behavioral disturbances often symptomatic of Alzheimer’s, such as hallucinations, delusions, paranoia and outbursts. “That makes this compound somewhat novel,” said Dr. Michelle M. Nicolle, an associate professor of gerontology at Wake Forest and co-researcher on the study, published recently in the Journal of Neuroscience. “We wanted to see if this very specific acting compound was able to change the way the brain works and whether or not it improved memory in our ‘Alzheimer’s mice,’ which are experiencing progressive cognitive decline much like a person with Alzheimer’s does.” Other attempts to identify such a specific treatment for Alzheimer’s have failed, according to Nicolle. The researchers’ findings suggest that the compound could alter the progression of disease in mice and, ultimately, hold importance for humans, as well.

You hold: S A K J 4 H Q 7 D K 6 C J 6 5 4 2. With neither side vulnerable, the dealer, at your right, opens one diamond. What do you say?

The defenders were entitled to only three tricks. South should judge that if Cy had the king of hearts, he would have led another diamond at the second trick, and East could have shifted to a heart. South must play a low heart from dummy at Trick Two and take the ace. He draws trumps, cashes the top clubs and exits with a diamond. After East takes the king of hearts, he must

You don’t have to agree with everyone or even like what others are doing as long as you continue down a path that will satisfy your needs and your goals. Don’t be guided by your emotions. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Once you evaluate what everyone else is doing, consider your own track record. Don’t hesitate to take the lead and to push your opinions and methods. Aggressive action will make everyone around you realize how serious you are about what you are trying to accomplish. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t lose sight of what’s going on around you. Ask questions but don’t let on that you may not be happy with what’s happening. Once you know where everyone stands, you can follow your own path, knowing what to expect from others. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have to work especially hard when it comes to pleasing others. Your generosity will spare your becoming involved in a sticky situation. Consider other means of making money. Don’t let your emotions tamper with your decisions. ★★

BRIDGE As you’d imagine, Cy the Cynic is skeptical of the government – especially its myriad of entitlement programs. “The only government handout I want is the government’s hand out of my pocket,” Cy growls. Cy has no problem accepting handouts from his opponents. Against four spades Cy led the queen of diamonds: six, nine, three. He shifted to the jack of hearts: queen, king, ace. Declarer drew trumps and took the A-K of clubs. When the queen didn’t fall, he exited with a diamond. East won and led a heart, and Cy won and cashed his queen of clubs. Down one.

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

HPU men minus Morris BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – A big hole in the roster will need to be filled as the High Point University men embark on the second half of the Big South Conference season. Junior forward Jourdan Morris has been suspended indefinitely from the team, Panthers coach Scott Cherry said Saturday night, for a violation of team rules. High Point’s 94-91 loss to VMI at the Millis Center was the second game Morris missed in the wake of his suspension last Sunday. The Panthers beat Liberty 81-53 on Thursday. “He’s just attending classes,” Cherry said when asked of Morris’ status. “He’s on course to graduate this summer. Even though he’s a junior, he transferred, so he has that transfer year where he caught up on classes. It’s just kind of a waitand-see mode, but right now he’s not a part of the team at all.” The 6-foot-7, 230-pound junior forward from Bowie, Md., appeared in 15 games this season for HPU. He averaged 7.2 points and nearly four rebounds per game while shooting 62.3 percent from the field in almost 17 minutes of action. Last season, Morris played in 24 games and got 13 starts, finishing

with 6.9 points and 3.1 rebounds per game in 18.2 minutes of action. He recorded a career-high 21 points against UNC Asheville last February. Morris sat out the 200708 season per NCAA rules after transferring from St. Bonaventure. As a true freshman there, Morris appeared in 23 games with averages of 2.9 points and 1.3 rebounds per contest. Cherry said redshirt freshman Corey Law, an active 6-6, 210-pounder, has stepped up in Morris’ absence. Law tallied 13 points and a seasonhigh 15 rebounds against VMI. Junior forward E.J. Bridges also will be counted upon to increase his averages of 3.9 points and 2.6 rebounds per game, and big guards David Campbell and David Singleton now will find themselves guarding forwards in some four-guard lineups. “We’ve had to get a little bit creative,” Cherry said. “But everybody’s got to step up now. We’re in the second half of the league and everybody’s got to produce.” High Point (10-9, 5-4) visits UNC Asheville on Thursday and GardnerWebb on Saturday before stepping out of league play at Longwood on Feb. 2. The Panthers’ next home game comes Thursday, Feb. 11, against Coastal Carolina. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Women wary of UNCA BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Two days removed from scraping past a one-win team, it’s safe to say the High Point University women won’t be looking past UNC Asheville tonight at 7. The Bulldogs, at 6-13 overall and 1-5 in the Big South Conference, occupy the cellar along with Presbyterian, Charleston Southern and Winthrop. But the league-leading Panthers found themselves holding for a 69-64 win at PC on Saturday. That close score – plus a long chat with coach Tooey Loy prior to Sunday’s practice – ensures the Panthers won’t be looking ahead to Saturday’s home game against Liberty, which should be for first place if both teams hold serve. “We haven’t even mentioned the Liberty game,” Loy said. “I know it’s ahead, I assume they know it’s ahead, but I think Presbyterian was a good lesson that we need to take care of busi-

ness before we even think about Saturday.” High Point (12-7, 5-1) owns a 22-11 series lead against the Bulldogs, but Loy remembers plenty of close calls in the Justice Center. The teams played three times last season – including in the conference tournament – with High Point winning twice. This year, the Panthers will be tasked to stop junior forward Lindsey Montgomery, the only Big South player to average a double-double at 12.2 points and 10. 2 rebounds per game. Junior point guard Kendell Shepard also is among the league leaders in assists at 3.9 per game. Loy said his players, who haven’t been as sharp mentally as much as he’d like, absorbed the scouting report Sunday and went through a good, sharp practice. The great thing about this group is they do really listen, they want to be great, and we’ll see what that does for us,” Loy said. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Pierre Garcon holds up the Haitian flag after the Colts’ 30-17 win over the New York Jets in the AFC Championship game Sunday.

Super showdown set THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Inside...

This is perfect for the Indianapolis Colts: They have Peyton Manning and they’re back in the Super Bowl. The four-time MVP threw three touchdown passes and the Indianapolis Colts rallied from an 11-point, first-half deficit to beat the New York Jets 30-17 Sunday in the AFC championship game. The Colts (15-2) are now headed back to the NFL title game for the second time in four years and their fourth Super Bowl in all. Better yet, they’re heading back to their lucky city – Miami, where they’ve won all four of those games. A month ago, when the New Yorkers were last in town, coach Jim Caldwell pulled his starters in the third quarter and gave up a chance at a perfect season to focus on a Super Bowl run. The Colts will face New Orleans in two weeks after unheralded Garrett Hartley lifted the Saints into their first Super Bowl with a 40-yard field goal in over-

Don’t miss more from Sunday’s conference championships. 4D time for a 31-28 victory over the Vikings. After a battered Brett Favre threw away the game with an interception deep in Saints territory at the end of regulation, Drew Brees guided New Orleans to the Minnesota 22. Hartley, suspended at the start of the season for using a banned stimulant, split the uprights. Forget the Aints and the paper bag masks. The Saints will meet the Colts in the first Super Bowl to pit the top seeds in each conference since the 1993 season. The Colts opened as a four-point favorite to beat New Orleans in the line provided by oddsmaker Sean Van Patten of Las Vegas Sports Consultants, which provides betting lines for most of the sports books in Nevada.

Kelly Kulick became the first woman to win a PBA Tour title on Sunday, beating Chris Barnes in the final of the 45th Tournament of Champions. Kulick outscored Barnes 265-195 to take home the $40,000 first prize and a two-year PBA exemption. The 32-year-old earned a berth in the Tournament of Champions by winning the PBA Women’s World Championship last September. “It’s been a dream of mine to win a PBA Tour event but I couldn’t have imagined it would have come in the Tournament of Champions,” said Kulick, who opened the final match with four straight strikes. “It may have looked easy, but my legs were like jelly – it got to a point where I couldn’t feel them. I was just letting adrenaline take over.” Kulick, of Union, N.J., had a PBA Tour exemption in 2006. Her best finish during that season was 22nd.

HIT AND RUN ow that we’ve crowned AFC and NFC champions, it’s time for the longest two weeks of the season for die-hard NFL fans. No, wait a minute. The traditional 14-day gap between the conference title games and the Super Bowl has been filled! I almost forgot. The Pro Bowl is on tap for Sunday at 7:20 p.m. ESPN provides the live coverage.

Pro football fans rejoice! We’ve got a game to look forward to after all. Oh, no we don’t. It’s the Pro Bowl. Bummer. While the game itself won’t be worth watching, at least we can tune in and enjoy those picturesque island scenes from Hawaii. What’s that? The Pro Bowl is being played in Miami this year? Say aloha to the luaus, leis and vintage Do Ho clips. Say hello to alligators, Don Johnson

and Phillip Michael Thomas in not-quite-sovintage “Miami Vice” clips. Scheduling the Pro Bowl – in Miami – the week before the Super Bowl is like showing “American Idol Rewind” the week before a replay of Elvis’ classic “Aloha From Hawaii” concert. Thank ya, NFL. Thank ya very much – for nothing.

WINSTON-SALEM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; On the eighth day, the Demon Deacons rested. Following a string of three games in seven days that ended with Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 69-57 victory over Virginia, coach Dino Gaudio gave his Wake Forest squad a day off from practice Sunday. The Demon Deacons donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play again until visiting Georgia Tech on Thursday, their only game in an 11-day stretch that ends with Miami coming to the Joel Coliseum on Feb. 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels like we need a breather,â&#x20AC;? Deacon guard Ishmael Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get some rest and get ready for another big week.â&#x20AC;? It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be as big as the past week, in which the Deacons lost at Duke 90-70 on Jan. 17, then won at North Carolina 82-69 before handing the Cavaliers their first loss in ACC play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing well,â&#x20AC;? Gaudio said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good week for us, but it wound have been even better if it had been Cameron. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a couple of very physical games Sunday and Wednesday. For the kids to play like they did, I think they deserve a lot of credit.â&#x20AC;? Wake dominated Virginia from the start, going up 36-15 at the half, even though the Cavaliers had not played since downing UNC Wilmington on Tuesday and had not played a conference team in seven days. Building on a 20-point, sevenrebound, six-assist effort, Smith was the catalyst as the Deacons brought an end to Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unexpected unblemished mark in the league.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Samford coach Jimmy Tillette has been transferred to a Birmingham hospital after collapsing during a game in Greensboro. Samford spokesman Zac Schrieber says the 59year-old Tillette was airlifted to UAB Hospital for further testing and observation Sunday afternoon. He said the coach was in stable condition. Tillette fell on the bench

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Solomon Alabi wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a bit worried as he stepped to the free-throw line, his team trailing by a point with 22 seconds left. Alabi, who may be the best 7-foot-1 free-throw shooter around, made both of them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even though the first bounced high off the rim before dropping through the net. The second gave the Seminoles the lead over 19th-ranked Georgia Tech, which failed to score again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no one weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather have up there,â&#x20AC;? coach Leonard Hamilton said after a 68-66 win, the Seminolesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fifth straight over the Yellow Jackets.

Associate head coach Paul Kelly will serve as interim coach. Tillette is in his 13th season as the Bulldogs coach with a 204-171 record and two NCAA tournament appearances.

Smith wound up shooting 7 of 10 from the field and the free-throw line, scored 21 points, grabbed seven rebounds and dished six assists. McFarland wound up with 16 points.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like I have a peacefulness now,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing what I love to do, just relax and not force it. Early in the year, I wanted to prove how good weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be. Now, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a relaxation out there. If the play is there, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take the shot and if it is not, set up the offense and kick it out to the shooters.â&#x20AC;? gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3518

Samford coach leaves Greensboro after scare

Blue Devils exorcise Clemson demons CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Duke guard Jon Scheyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not sure anything totally wipes out his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awful loss at Clemson last year. The Blue Devilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; latest effort at Littlejohn Coliseum, though, certainly helps. Nolan Smith scored 22 points and No. 7 Duke held the 17th-ranked Tigers to their lowest point total at home in seven years in a 60-47 victory late Saturday night. It was a drastic reversal from 2009, when the Blue Devils suffered their most lopsided loss in almost 20 years here, 74-47. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us, we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really trying to make up for anything,â&#x20AC;? Scheyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new year. We were 3-2 in our conference and now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 4-2. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we were thinking about.â&#x20AC;? Still, it was a much happier bunch of Blue Devils (16-3, 4-2 ACC) who ran off the court here than after last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s embarrassment. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski called time in the final moments, urging his players to soak in the cheers of Clemson fans. This time, Krzyzewski was proud of his playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; resiliency, poise and effort confronting the same packed house of Clemson crazies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew Clemson was ready,

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got ice water in his veins.â&#x20AC;? Alabi, a redshirt sophomore who has made 83 percent (68 of 82) of his free throws this season, said he was confident largely because of a dedicated practice routine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done this so many times in practice,â&#x20AC;? said Alabi, who often will shoot 100 free throws in a session and made 50 of 54 in one particular hot stretch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tune everything else out.â&#x20AC;? Alabi finished with 14 points and was perfect in six trips to the foul line for Florida State, (15-4, 32 ACC), which otherwise was just 10 of 21 at the stripe. Georgia Tech (14-5, 3-3

ACC) got its last lead on Iman Shumpertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jump shot with 1:27 left. After Alabiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free throws, Brian Oliver missed a 3-point try and Gani Lawal and Shumpert both missed opportunities to tie the game for Georgia Tech. Jordan DeMercy added a free throw in the closing seconds for the final margin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were really impatient offensively,â&#x20AC;? said Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt, who has one of the youngest teams in the country with two freshmen and two sophomores starting. Chris Singletonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career-high 23 points led Florida State. Deividas Dulkys added 11.

East Carolina scored the initial 12 points and held Tulane (6-12, 1-4) scoreless for the first 5:56. The Pirates extended their lead to 25-7 on Jontae Sherrodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-pointer with 6:41 remaining.

Ward, who entered tied with Arturs Irbe atop the HartfordCarolina victory list, made 27 saves for his 131st victory with the Hurricanes and helped them snap a six-game regular-season losing streak against Boston. “You can’t do it by yourself – every one of those wins, the team had a big part of it,” said

the 25-year-old Ward, 11-19-5 this season and 131-98-23 overall. “There’s no point stopping now, and I hope to keep adding on to that list for many, many years.” Ray Whitney and Brandon Sutter each had a goal and an assist, Eric Staal and Chad LaRose also scored and Joni

Pitkanen had two assists for the Hurricanes. They scored three goals in a 6:36 span, led 5-0 in the opening minute of the third period and have 39 points – one more than Edmonton. “If we can get some wins here and give ourselves a chance to maybe get a little closer to some teams, we could have a

good stretch,” Sutter said. David Krejci scored for the Bruins, who have their first five-game losing streak in more than two years. “When you press, you make some bad decisions, and the more you press, the worse it gets,” Boston coach Claude Julien said.

Hamlin tears ACL

Isner Ryan, remains defense upbeat silenced MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) – John Isner was looking on the bright side after his three-set loss to Andy Murray in the fourth round of the Australian Open on Sunday. The Greensboro native’s eight-match winning streak to start 2010 – including his first ATP tournament victory in Auckland – was over, but the hard-serving, 6-foot-9 American is pleased with the way he’s playing. “This is a great start to the year,” Isner said after falling to the fifth-seeded Scot 7-6 (4), 6-3, 6-2. “Obviously, I would have liked to have kept on going in this tournament, in the big one. To make the final 16 here, I won eight matches in a row at this level, it’s a great accomplishment.” The 33rd-seeded Isner, who had friend and Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith in his players’ box, plans to return to the U.S. to play some indoor tournaments and improve his fitness. “I’m a lot fitter now than I was last year, and I’m going to continue to work on that,” Isner said. “Just to see how kind of fit Andy Murray is, is kind of something to strive for.” Isner reiterated he would play Davis Cup if asked. U.S. stalwarts Roddick and James Blake have already said they won’t play this year, so his chances are good. Isner said he went through some lean times after winning frequently in college in 2007. “I kind of regressed in 2008, which is not unusual,” the 24-year-old said. “I kind of got ahead of my learning curve. “Now I’m more professional about things. I know that I can make a living, and make a really, really nice living playing tennis. So I’m going to work hard ... and know that this is my career for the next 10 years. I’m not going to waste any opportunity.”

Roddick survives MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) – Four days after an angry outburst over the rules relating to replays and line calls, Andy Roddick got a crucial call in his favor in his fourth-round Australian Open win over Fernando Gonzalez. Roddick held off the 2007 Australian Open finalist 63, 3-6, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 on Sunday to advance to the quarterfinals at the season’s first major for the sixth time in eight years. The 27-year-old American will meet No. 14 Marin Cilic, who ousted U.S. Open champ Juan Martin del Potro in five sets. Roddick bucked the trend on a day of upsets that resulted in fourthround exits for two top women: No. 2 Dinara Safina and No. 3 Svetlana Kuznetsova.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Rex Ryan was frustrated on the sideline, desperately trying to come up with some sort of plan to slow Peyton Manning. He never found one. Ryan’s big-talking, topranked defense came up short, and it cost the New York Jets a trip to the Super Bowl in a 30-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC championship game Sunday. “We tried everything,” the Jets coach said, shaking his head. “We tried man, tried two-man, zone, you name it, but you’ve got to give him credit, man. He’s one heck of a quarterback and we definitely had some issues there.” After bottling up Manning for much of the first two quarters, the Jets couldn’t contain the fourtime MVP quarterback in the second half. “With Peyton Manning, if you can’t disrupt his rhythm, he’s going to kill you,” Ryan said. “And, we couldn’t disrupt him enough.” It wasn’t the first time the Jets’ defense couldn’t come through. It blew late leads in games against Miami, Jacksonville and Atlanta and earned a reputation for not being able to come up with big stops. Still, Ryan was confident all week, saying his team would be the most loose AFC championship squad anyone would ever see. It turned out the defense was way too loose against Manning & Co. Now, it’s on to thinking about next year for Ryan, a first-year head coach who got this far with a rookie quarterback in Mark Sanchez. Despite the disappointment of falling a win shy of the Super Bowl, Ryan realizes the future is bright.

CHARLOTTE (AP) – Denny Hamlin has a torn knee ligament and won’t have surgery to repair it until after the upcoming NASCAR season. Hamlin says he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee playing basketball on Friday. The injury was first reported by ESPN.com after Hamlin pulled out of a skills competition for NASCAR drivers hosted by the Charlotte Bobcats. Hamlin had surgery in December on his right knee, and the new injury is unrelated. Hamlin is the popular preseason pick to unseat four-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson this year. He won two of the final 10 races last year, including the season finale. The NASCAR season begins next month at Daytona International Speedway. AP

New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan (right) congratulates Indianapolis Colts head coach Jim Caldwell after the Colts’ 30-17 win in Sunday’s AFC Championship. “We’re close,” he said. “We thought we could win it all. We really did.” Ryan boasted all season that his defense was a force to be reckoned with and deserved its No. 1 ranking. But this time, Ryan – who boldly declared the Jets to be Super Bowl favorites before the playoffs – could only eat his words. Manning picked apart the Jets’ defense, which also had the top unit against the pass, throwing for 377 yards and three touchdowns. The Colts finished with 461 net yards against a defense that allowed an average of just 252 during the regular season. “We couldn’t get off the field,” Ryan said. “They kept marching it down the field on us.” Despite their lofty ranking during the regular season, Ryan and the Jets were irritated by

suggestions they weren’t a big-time defense. Their performance Sunday proved why. “You’ve got to get some stops and we never got enough of them,” Ryan said. While many worried about how Sanchez would handle himself in this type of big game, he was the least of the Jets’ worries. He threw two first-half touchdown passes to give the Jets a 17-13 lead and was 30 minutes from becoming the first rookie quarterback to play in the Super Bowl. Then, the defense – Ryan’s bread and butter – failed to get the Jets to Miami. When cornerback Donald Strickland went out late in the first quarter, the Jets were forced to adjust their defense by playing guys in different spots they weren’t accustomed to. Manning

figured that out immediately and the Colts started going with a three-receiver set, and he started finding mismatches with Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie. “It’s really tough to match up with them, just with the efficiency that they play with,” safety Jim Leonhard said. “You can have great man coverage, but that ball is right where it needs to be.” Even playmaking linebacker Bart Scott, hobbled by a sprained ankle, wasn’t on the field much – and that compromised the defense. The clearest sign things were starting to go awry was late in the first half, when Manning threw three consecutive passes to Austin Collie, including a 16-yard toss with 1:13 remaining to cut the Colts’ deficit to 17-13. “That really took some of the wind out of our sails,” Ryan said.

Caldwell headed to the Super Bowl INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Jim Caldwell won’t pat himself on the back. After becoming the first coach in league history to open his career with 14 straight wins, Caldwell has his Colts headed back to Miami for their second Super Bowl in four seasons. The fifth rookie coach to reach the Super Bowl now has a chance to become the third to win it in his first year after Indianapolis beat the New York Jets 30-17 on Sunday in the AFC championship game. “I spend very little time thinking about those kinds of things,” he said. “I’ve never been one to look for any special attention; I’ve never needed anybody to tell me I’ve done a good job. The great thing about this league? We’ve got a great barometer that tells you what kind of job that you’ve done, and that’s that won-lost record.” Peyton Manning said Caldwell earned the team’s respect since he took over for Tony Dungy, and the team took on his reserved, yet intense, nature. “Any time you have a new head coach, there’s a change, there’s a different guy speaking to you every day,” Manning said. “The team bought into his philosophy

GARCON’S BIG DAY MEANT TO HONOR HAITIANS

----

Pierre Garcon celebrated the biggest day of his NFL career by honoring his Haitian relatives. The Colts receiver, whose parents emigrated to the U.S. from the earthquake-ravaged nation, spent most of last week concerned about the fate of his family and friends still living in Haiti. On Sunday, after the Colts’ 30-17 victory over the Jets in the AFC championship, he raised the national flag for the second straight week, a sign of both gratitude for those who have helped in the relief effort and in recognition of what more still needs to be done. “This is what it’s all about,” Garcon said after recording career highs of 11 receptions for 153 yards. “Just trying to do it for the country.” and his principles, we followed them, and it’s led us in a good direction.” Caldwell quieted the secondguessing that came after he pulled his starters in the third quarter of the second-to-last game, costing the Colts a chance at a perfect season. “I really try not to focus on anything of that nature,” he said. “We weren’t out to prove anything; there’s no sense of vindication or retribution. All we were concerned about is trying to do the

best job we can for our team, plain and simple. Not everybody’s going to agree with you all the time.” Caldwell said he still talks to Dungy. He received a text message from his mentor in the days leading up to the game. “His influence is profound on me,” Caldwell said. “Most of the things that we do are things that were done under his guidance. We’ve made a few subtle changes here and there, but basically, we’ve kind of build upon what he established.”

Watson, Prugh atop Hope THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LA QUINTA, Calif. – Bubba Watson, Alex Prugh and Joe Ogilvie all had late chances Sunday to create a little separation atop the Bob Hope Classic field. All three made mistakes better suited to their amateur playing partners, leaving the leaderboard even more crowded heading into today’s finale. Watson double-bogeyed the final hole in the fourth round, dropping him back into a tie with PGA Tour rookie Prugh at 23-under 265. Prugh missed a 3-foot putt to bogey his own final hole, while Ogilvie sat two strokes back after a double bogey on his 17th. After knocking his second shot into the water on the par-4 18th, Watson finished with 3-under 69 to match Prugh (70) at 23under 265. Bill Haas and Tim Clark were a stroke back after 66s, Ogilvie (68) followed at 21-under, and Mike Weir was in a group at 20 under after his fourth straight 67. Watson was in position to take a solid lead into his chase for his first PGA Tour victory. “Tomorrow is going to be a tough day no matter if I had the lead, was tied for the lead, or one back, or five back,” Watson said. “Tomorrow is going to be a fun day. This is what we live for. The more chances I get to win, maybe I’ll get one to luckily fall in and win one.”

KAYMER WINS ABU DHABI ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates – Martin Kaymer birdied the 18th hole to win the Abu Dhabi Championship, earning the title for the second time in three years with a one-shot victory over Ian Poulter. The German sank the 2-foot putt for his sixth birdie in a 6-under 66 at the Abu Dhabi Golf Club.

White House: Bernanke will be re-appointed

Workers prepare samples in front of a case of Angus beef at a Sam’s Club in Bentonville, Ark. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. on Sunday said it is cutting more than 11,000 jobs at Sam’s Club, representing about 9 percent of the warehouse club operator’s staff.

More than 11,000 Sam’s Club workers to lose jobs NEW YORK (AP) – Wal-Mart Stores Inc. will cut about 11,200 jobs at Sam’s Club warehouses as it turns over the task of in-store product demonstrations to an outside marketing company. The move is an effort to improve sales at Sam’s Club, which has underperformed the company’s stores in the U.S. and abroad. The cuts represent about 10 percent of the warehouse club operator’s 110,000 staffers across its 600 stores. That includes 10,000 workers, mostly part-timers, who offer food samples and showcase products to customers. The company

also eliminated 1,200 workers who recruit new members. Employees were told the news at mandatory meetings on Sunday morning. “In the club channel, demo sampling events are a very important part of the experience,” said Sam’s Club CEO Brian Cornell in a phone interview with The Associated Press. “Shopper Events specializes in this area, and they can take our sampling program to the next level.” Shopper Events, based in Rogers, Ark., currently works with WalMart’s stores on in-store demonstrations. Sam’s Club has performed weaker

than Wal-Mart Stores Inc.’s namesake stores in the U.S. and abroad. Cornell has been working to improve results since taking the helm in early 2009. Sam’s Club has tried to steal customers from grocery chains and rival warehouse stores like Costco Wholesale Corp. by offering more everyday goods. But during WalMart Stores’ most recent quarter, revenue at the Sam’s Club division slipped nearly 1 percent to $11.55 billion. Earlier this month, Wal-Mart Stores closed 10 underperforming Sam’s Club locations, resulting in the loss of about 1,500 jobs.

Market losses show vulnerability NEW YORK (AP) — It was the fat cats’ fault before. But now it’s becoming Obama’s. With the unemployment rate stubbornly high, people were already shifting blame for their economic woes to President Barack Obama one year into his presidency. Last week, investors joined them. For 10 months, the stock market climbed at breathtaking speed. But the Dow Jones industrial average suffered its worst week since dropping to a 12year low in early March. It fell 552 points Wednesday through Friday, including 216 on Friday. One big reason investors scrambled to sell: Fear over a wave of populism that swept a Republican to an upset victory in the Massachusetts Senate race on Tuesday. When Obama responded on Thursday with a broad-

side against big banks, the market plunged. On Friday, investors feared mounting opposition in the Senate could derail Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s reappointment. Disappointing corporate earnings and

concern that China will slow its economy added to the jitters. The question now: If the bad news continues, will Obama, who is trying to win votes in the fall elections with his populist attacks, end up losing them

instead? Put another way, can Obama win over Main Street by vilifying Wall Street if people fear opening their 401(k) statements again? And that’s especially true for voters who have a stake in the stock market. A clear sign the market was in trouble came a week ago Friday. Chip maker Intel announced profits were a lot higher last quarter than analysts had expected. Its stock fell anyway. This week is chock-ablock with news that could help shares retrace their lost ground, or sink further. The Federal Reserve meets on interest rates, Bernanke faces that reappointment battle in the Senate, a cavalcade of earnings reports is due and the government gives its first estimate of how the economy performed during the final three months of 2009.

Survey: Gas prices down 1.42 cents CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) – The average price of regular gasoline in the United States fell 1.42 cents over a two-week period to $2.72. That’s according to the national Lundberg Survey of fuel prices released Sunday.

Analyst Trilby Lundberg says the average price for a gallon of midgrade was $2.85. Premium was at $2.96. Cheyenne, Wyo., had the lowest average price among cities surveyed at $2.45 a gallon for regular.

Honolulu was the highest at $3.32. In California, a gallon of regular cost an average of $3.00. Fresno had the state’s least expensive gas at $2.92 a gallon. San Francisco remained the steepest at $3.04.

WASHINGTON (AP) – White House officials and Senate leaders predicted on Sunday that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will be confirmed for a second term. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said a new four-year term for the central bank head is needed to ensure stability in the financial system. Lawmakers would send a bad message to financial markets by “playing politics in any way” with Bernanke’s nomination, Gibbs said. White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had assured President Barack Obama that Bernanke had strong support among Democrats. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said he anticipated that Bernanke would be confirmed and would receive bipartisan support. The No. 2 Senate Democrat, Dick Durbin of Illinois, added, “I think that

Bush, is widely credited with helping to prevent the recession from turning into a depression. But his support of Wall Street bailouts has angered the public as the country struggles with double-digit unemployment.

Scientists create model of monster storm LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Think the recent wild weather that hammered California was bad? Experts are imagining far worse. As torrential rains pelted wildfire-stripped hillsides and flooded highways, a team of scientists hunkered down at the California Institute of Technology to work on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frankenstormâ&#x20AC;? scenario â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a mother lode wintry blast that could potentially sock the Golden State. The hypothetical but plausible storm would be similar to the 1861-1862 extreme floods that temporarily moved the state capital from Sacramento to San Francisco and forced the then-governor to attend his inauguration by rowboat. The scenario â&#x20AC;&#x153;is much larger than anything in living memory,â&#x20AC;? said project manager Dale Cox with the U.S. Geological Survey.
