Guilford school make-up days pose no problem, for now BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – With the winter snow-day count at three for Guilford County Schools, there are five make-up days remaining in the calendar before parents and teachers have to worry about altering test and vacation schedules. Each year, the Guilford County Board of Education plans for about eight make-up days to cover sessions canceled for inclement weather. District officials use the planned days,

Randolph, Davidson county school breaks cut. 1B Wintry mix in forecast. 3B many of which are teacher work days, before moving to holidays and vacation days. The district announced three make-up days Tuesday for five different district schedules. The earliest day is Feb. 18, an early release day,

for traditional calendar schools. Schools reopen today on a two-hour delay schedule. “The next make-up day if needed would be Feb. 19,” Haley Miller, a district spokeswoman, said Wednesday, “and then May 28 after that.” So far, the make-up days will come before and after required state and advanced placement tests, Miller said. The school board can change calendars, if necessary, and add days at

the end of the year to meet the 180-day mandatory instructional requirement. Last year, the make-up days became an issue with state officials because district leaders wanted to add three days after the traditional June 10 last day of school for students. State officials suggested an earlier April schedule during spring break, but later agreed to adding the days in June. “For now, spring break is not an issue,” Miller said. “We would not get there

LEXINGTON – For the 2009 fall semester, Davidson County Schools has made improvements in its dropout rate and overall high school end-of-course exam proficiency, according to data presented to the Davidson County Board of Education on Wednesday. Sandi Lee, Davidson County

Schools assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, told the school board Davidson County Schools’ overall proficiency in end-of-course exams is up by 14 percent compared to the fall of 2008. The increase can be attributed to the state allowing retest scores to be included in the proficiency scores. Without the retest scores included, Davidson County

Schools had about a 6 percent increase. For the second consecutive year, Davidson County Schools has decided to review its dropout rate on a month-by-month basis, Lee said. Through month four, Davidson County Schools has 41 less dropouts when compared to the same time two years ago. “We found out when we look at individual schools and really be-

until there are six days to make up.” The sixth and seventh make-up days, if needed, are scheduled for March 29-30 during spring break. The eighth day falls on June 11 on the traditional calendar.

HIGH POINT – City leaders continued discussions this week about possible changes to High Point’s zoning process that would make it more in line with evolving laws governing land use. The City Council’s Planning and Development Committee discussed moving from from conditional use district zoning to conditional zoning. The change would do away with “quasi-judicial” procedures that require findings of fact based on sworn testimony before the council can issue some types of zoning permits. City staff has advised the committee that cases involving con-

ditional use district zoning could be vulnerable to court challenges. The committee has spent its past two meetings discussing changing the process and Bencini on Tuesday heard a report from city staff about other North Carolina cities’ zoning procedures and conduct guidelines for elected and appointed officials who hear zoning cases. Draft ordinance revisions being considered by the committee would do away with the current required findings for a project. Under the proposed revisions, the council and Planning and Zoning Commission “shall give consideration” to factors such as con-

sistency with applicable adopted plans and “reasonableness” in reviewing zoning applications. “I think everybody on council realizes we’ve got to meet the findings. I think the concern now is, (conditional zoning) is kind of a wide-open process,” said Councilman Bill Bencini, committee chairman. “There is no real guideline to be followed about what is reasonable.” City planners reported several of the state’s largest cities, including Charlotte, Greensboro and Durham, have adopted conditional zoning, although others besides High Point, such as Raleigh and Winston-Salem, still use conditional use district zoning. No cities with conditional zoning have put forth required con-

duct guidelines. The committee has discused at length whether guidelines – such as the need to keep an open mind and not make a commitment prior to the public hearing as well as limitations on contact between applicants, who are generally developers, and council members prior to a case being heard – would be necessary if the city adopts conditional zoning. The consensus from Tuesday’s meeting was that the committee was comfortable with the approach to conditional zoning but wanted more time to work out details. It is expected to continue the discussions at its meeting next month. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

EDC focuses on partnerships BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A partnership between the High Point Economic Development Corp. and surrounding EDCs was highlighted at its monthly meeting on Wednesday when EDC members toured Thayer Coggin, a furniture company that lies within High Point city limits but spans into Randolph County. Loren Hill, EDC president, invited Bonnie Renfro, president of the Randolph County Economic Development Corp., to the meeting because of the overlap. Thayer Coggin opened for business in

1953 and became known for its modern furniture. It continues to manufacture residential furniture at its facility on South Road. Hill said the relationship between the High Point office and the Randolph County office had been important to the growth of both area’s through the years, especially in 2002 when the offices jointly worked on the Thomas Built Buses project. The city of High Point, the city of Archdale, Guilford County and Randolph County all contributed funds to the project through the EDC offices - something that

had never been done before, Hill said. He added that companies like Thayer Coggin that span to two jurisdictions also support both areas in taxes. “Bonnie and I early on realized that we are stronger when we work together,” Hill said. “Good economic development news for either of us is good for all.” Business was kept to a minimum at the meeting, but Hill said his office had been busy for the last week showing properties in High Point to potential clients. A closed session also was held to discuss further business matters. Renfro said the Ran-

dolph County area had experienced some growth in 2009. “We reported more than 16 million in expansion from nine companies,” she said. “Our job numbers were up but our investments were down.” To further relationships with surrounding EDCs, Hill announced that his office would hold its first business meeting with the Greensboro Economic Development Alliance in May. “That’s another prime example of working with surrounding offices,” Hill said.

LAS VEGAS – Counting attendance and exhibitor numbers, then comparing them with previous years and shows, may have been an accurate indicator of every trade show’s success in the past. Not today. It’s the purchase order numbers that count, regardless of the industry, most agree. As the 10th semiannual World Market Center show in Las Vegas moved through its winter schedule this week as the first major home furnishings show of the year, the question was how many purchase orders attendees would place as the economy appears to be slowly, more favorably stabilizing. For some exhibitors, orders were reportedly very good. Others indicated considerable interest in their presentations, while some were hoping for strong post-market decisions from interested buyers who toured their showrooms and planned later actual purchase-order commitments. The winter World Market Center concludes Friday. The reports from exhibitors on how the show was doing for them closely reflected the comments of

Drug charges lodged after search BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A Davidson County man faces drug charges after a search was conducted by sheriff’s officers. The department’s Vice & Narcotics Unit conducted a consent search of an Ivy Yokley Road residence on Tuesday that yielded a 2foot tall marijuana plant and items of drug paraphernalia, according to the sheriff’s office.

William Melvin Vermeulen, 20, who authorities said resides at the property, was charged with manufacturing marijuana, maintaining a residence for a controlled substances and possession of drug paraphernalia, deputies said. He was jailed under a $10,000 bond and has an appearance scheduled for March 30 in Davidson County District Court. In an unrelated case, the sheriff’s office Inter-

state Criminal Enforcement Unit apprehended a man who was wanted by the North Carolina Department of Correction for a suspected probation violation. Deputies on Monday stopped a 2001 Mitsubishi Gallant on Interstate 85 northbound near Lexington after they spotted a broken taillight on the car. During the traffic stop, officers ran the name of the driver through a da-

Richard Dean Cannon II, 24, of Dallas, N.C., was cited for driving while license revoked and served with an order for arrest for the suspected probation violation, according to the sheriff’s office. Cannon was jailed under bonds totalling $6,500. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

BLOUNTVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – A Tennessee sheriff’s deputy arrested on a drunken driving charge wound up in a dog house before he was taken to the big house. The Kingsport TimesNews reported the details of a Tennessee Highway Patrol arrest report, which said 47-

year-old Samuel Monroe Bledsoe was kicking the windows of a trooper’s cruiser on his way to a hospital for a blood test. The report says Bledsoe was then locked inside the cruiser’s K-9 cage for his safety. Trooper David Osborne said in the report that Bledsoe performed

poorly during a field sobriety test – even after it was explained to Bledsoe 18 times. The Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office later fired Bledsoe. Bledsoe was free Wednesday on $1,500 bond. A message left at a phone number listed for Bledsoe was not immediately returned.

buyers surveyed as they worked the showrooms. Representing a fairly representative cross-section of the country, with the expected strong presence of West Coast buyers, retailers indicated they were at the market to make purchase-order decisions, now or shortly after returning to their stores. Many expressed a somewhat optimistic but flavored-with-cautionand-concern outlook for 2010. One plus for the World Market Center this week was its first-ever cooperative arrangement with Surfaces, concurrently running at the Sands. Reportedly several hundred attendees at this major national annual floor coverings/window treatments show took advantage of the World Market Center shuttle buses servicing the Venetian (home of the Sands Convention Center) to visit nearby World Market Center’s complex. Surfaces’ badges were honored at all three World Market Center buildings’ 5.1 million square feet of exhibitors. World Market Center and Surfaces officials reported this joint opportunity for its respective buyers to attend the two concurrent shows will be offered again in early 2011.

Iraq court lifts ban on hundreds of candidates BAGHDAD (AP) – An Iraqi appeals court Wednesday set aside a ban on hundreds of candidates for suspected ties to Saddam Hussein’s regime, allowing them to run in next month’s parliamentary election and offering a chance to ease political showdowns that had deeply worried the White House. The decision could remove – at least temporarily – a ma-

next government in Baghdad. The blacklist, with more than 450 names, has been widely denounced by Sunni political leaders who view it as a way for the Shiite-led government to undercut Sunni efforts to expand political clout. For U.S. officials, the dispute jor trouble spot in the planning for nationwide voting March 7 rattled their main hopes for the to pick lawmakers and the po- election: a fresh push toward litical blocs that will shape the reconciliation between the ma-

jority Shiites and the Sunnis who were once on top during Saddam’s rule. The concern about the election’s credibility grew so acute that Vice President Joe Biden was in Baghdad last month appealing for ways to cool tensions. The appeals court decision presents a path to postpone the wrenching debates over who should be ostracized for per-

ceived ties to Saddam’s regime. But it came during another reminder that Iraq’s sectarian bloodshed is far from over. A blast tore through a crowd of Shiite pilgrims just outside the holy city of Karbala south of Baghdad, killing at least 23 people and injuring 120 in the second attack this week on the huge religious processions for annual observances, officials said.

PARENTS WILLINGLY GAVE CHILDREN TO US BAPTISTS CALLEBAS, Haiti (AP) – Parents in this struggling village above Haiti’s capital said Wednesday they willingly handed their children to American missionaries who showed up in a bus promising to give them a better life – contradicting claims by the group’s leader the children came from orphanages and distant relatives. The 10 Baptists were arrested last week trying to take 33 Haitian children across the border into the Dominican Republic.

Attack draws attention to American presence SHAHI KOTO, Pakistan – The deaths of three American special operations soldiers in a roadside bombing in northwest Pakistan on Wednesday drew unwanted attention to a U.S. program of training local forces to fight the Taliban and al-Qaida. The killings were the first known U.S. military fatalities in nearly three years in Pakistan’s Afghan border region, where militants are being pummeled by U.S. missile strikes and struggling to regroup.

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran announced Wednesday it launched a menagerie of animals into space on a research rocket, a feat President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said showed Iran could defeat the West in the battle of technology.

Motivational speaker charged in sweat lodge deaths FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Authorities have charged motivational speaker James Arthur Ray with three counts of manslaughter for deaths that happened after a sweat lodge ceremony he led in Arizona last year. Ray was arrested Wednesday afternoon at his attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office in Prescott on an indictment and was to be booked into the Yavapai County jail in Camp Verde, sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s officials said. His bond is set at $5 million. The Oct. 8 sweat lodge

ceremony was intended to be the highlight of Rayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiveday â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spiritual Warriorâ&#x20AC;? event Ray at a retreat he rented just outside Sedona. He told participants, who paid more than $9,000 each to attend, that it would be one of the most intense experiences of their lives. About halfway through the two-hour ceremony, some began feeling ill,

vomiting and collapsing inside the 415-squarefoot structure. Despite that, Ray urged participants to push past their physical weaknesses and chided those who wanted to leave, authorities and participants have said. Two people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kirby Brown, 38, of Westtown, N.Y., and James Shore, 40, of Milwaukee â&#x20AC;&#x201C; passed out inside the sweat lodge and died that night at a hospital.

Scientist guilty of trying to kill Americans NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A U.S.-trained Pakistani scientist was convicted Wednesday of charges that she tried to kill Americans while detained in Afghanistan in 2008, shouting with raised arm as jurors left the courtroom: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a verdict coming from Israel, not America.â&#x20AC;? A jury deliberated three days in federal court in Manhattan before finding Aafia Siddiqui guilty in the third week of her attempted murder trial,

which she often interrupted with rambling courtroom outbursts. After deSiddiqui c l a r i n g the verdict came from Israel, she turned toward spectators in the packed courtroom and said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your anger should be directed where it belongs. I can testify to this and I have proof.â&#x20AC;? Siddiqui, 37, was con-

victed of two counts of attempted murder, though the jury found the crime wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t premeditated.

Police: Woman hid triplet pregnancy, died in birth SHELTON, Conn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Connecticut woman managed to hide from her boyfriend and family members that she was carrying triplets, then bled to death while delivering the full-term but stillborn babies in her home, officials said Wednesday. Shelton police detective Ben Trabka said he believes 26-year-old Victoria Hope denied being pregnant and instead gave medical reasons â&#x20AC;&#x153;why she had put on weight.â&#x20AC;? Hope did not disclose

her pregnancy to anyone police spoke to, including her boyfriend â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the father of her children â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Trabka said. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear whether the woman knew she was carrying triplets before giving birth Tuesday. Her father, William Hope, acknowledged Wednesday that his daughter was â&#x20AC;&#x153;bigâ&#x20AC;? and said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why she hid her pregnancy. The cause of death was loss of blood during unattended childbirth, the medical examiner said.

Trinity’s new sewer system is costing us more Let’s touch base on the new Trinity sewer put in recently. After paying our usual water bill, we are now paying a triple bill. Example: When you use $20 worth of water, you will pay an extra $40 to use the pipes to get rid of it. Paying $60 for what we once paid only $20. At a time when people are struggling to pay bills, we get stuck paying huge sewer pipe bills that most didn’t want or need to start with. I had no problem with my sewer in over 30 years of living here. Now, I’m paying approximately $500 more a year to use a sewer pipe. The city says it’s progress. I say it is a rip-off. Big time. Paying double would be bad enough, but we are paying triple. We need to get behind this unfair practice and stop this robbing people without a gun. We will eventually be another Archdale with traffic congestion and all the pollution and aggravation that comes with this so-called progress. DAVE CECIL Trinity

Let’s move high-speed rail along uch of the talk was about creating jobs, cleaning the air and stimulating local economies last week when President Obama announced awards of $8 billion in federal funding for several high-speed rail projects across the nation, including $545 million to North Carolina. Yes, all three of those are practical, positive points for allocation of federal (and state) funding to boost passenger rail service projects. But we also see investing federal dollars in high-speed rail as a pragmatic approach to administering national transportation policy. In other words, the United States simply needs high-speed rail passenger service as a viable alternative to its aircraft and motor vehicle transportation networks. And we would have said that even if North Carolina had not gotten the $545 million it received, and even if High Point were not on the rail corridor from Washington to Charlotte that will benefit from the North Carolina allocation with improvements to the rail line. A large portion of North Carolina’s allocation will be used to upgrade the rail corridor between Greensboro and Charlotte by laying an additional track. That will allow high-speed passenger trains to coexist with slower-moving freight trains. Funds also will be used for projects such as building bridges over tracks or tunnels under them to allow some crossings along the corridor to be closed. That can be a controversial proposition in some locations, but those actions are necessary in order for the passenger rail system to rapidly and safely move people from destination to destination. Our greatest criticism of last week’s allocation is that it came through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, or economic stimulus bill. Highspeed rail service shouldn’t have to wait for an emergency funding bill to receive federal tax dollars. It should receive much greater national priority in the federal budget in the coming years, especially more so than those pork barrel transportation projects that have found favor in the past.

An independent newspaper

Obama appeals for some civility in our government “Come now, let us reason together ...” Isaiah 1:18

few words about that important speech President Obama gave last week. No, not “that” important speech, the other one. Granted, Obama’s State of the Union address was the one parsed, sifted and winnowed by pundits for clues as to where he wishes to take the country in the days ahead. But one could argue that in its way, a less-noticed speech two days later in Baltimore tells us as much if not more about the intentions and ambitions of this president. Not so much about specific policy and legislative initiatives. But Obama’s speech before a gathering of GOP representatives and the freewheeling, unscripted Q&A that followed, spoke volumes about how he proposes to make those initiatives reality: i.e., through civil negotiation, compromise and consensus – things that have been scarce in the public sphere since the days of Jheri curls and power suits if not longer. If you haven’t seen the video of the session, you should. It’s easily found on YouTube and on the White House Web site (www.whitehouse. gov). While it takes a while to view, it is worth the investment of time; you will seldom see a more riveting political exchange. Or one more oddly hopeful. You have to wonder, after all, what Obama thought he stood to gain. If the meeting offered Republicans a chance to refute the Democratic contention that they are a party of no ideas, it is harder to see any immediate political gain for the president, especially considering that last year’s attempt to reach out to the GOP was rebuffed by them and drew mixed reviews from observers. So no, there was not a lot of evident upside in Obama’s decision to renew the effort. That being the case, one is forced to consider that maybe political gain wasn’t the point. Maybe he means it. Maybe he is in earnest when he says he wants to see a new model of governance. In last week’s session, Obama was energetic and effective in defending his administration from ad hominem attack ads disguised as

questions. He also accepted his party’s share of responsibility for the “sour” state of Washington politics. But time and again, he returned to his central theme: the need to draw back from the shrill, slash-and-burn tactics and rhetoric that reached a high OPINION mark – or, if you prefer, a low mark – last year. If only, he said, Leonard because such behavior makes it Pitts nearly impossible for deals to be ■■■ made or compromise done. And that’s the very soul of governance in a democracy. “Many of you,” said Obama, “if you voted with the administration on something, are politically vulnerable in your own base, in your own party. You’ve given yourselves very little room to work in a bipartisan fashion because what you’ve been telling your constituents is, this guy is doing all kinds of crazy stuff that’s going to destroy America. And I would just say that we have to think about tone.” Yes, politics is politics is politics, and there is nothing inherently wrong – indeed, there is something inherently “right” – with our adversarial system. But that’s not what we’ve had these last years. No, we’ve had a system of hyperpartisanship, intellectual dishonesty and reflexive ideology, of permanent argument but no real attempt at solution or persuasion. The price of which has been high – a nation cleaved in two, a people who no longer seem to like, trust or believe in one another. So if Obama’s asking the opposition party – and his own – to behave as if their words and deeds have consequences is not good short-term tactics, it is still a welcome counterweight to this present era of divide and conquer politics. Too many elected officials seem to think reelection is what matters most. Credit Obama for an earnest, necessary reminder: Country matters more.

HIGH POINT – High Point University activities will bring 5,000 visitors to the city this month from two dozen states to tour the campus and spend money. Students and parents will visit the campus twice this month for Presidential Scholar weekends, and family members will be buzzing around HPU during the Winter Family Weekend. During the weekend activities, HPU provides guests with city information, including hotels, restaurants and other things to do around town. The university also provides transportation to activities all over High Point. “Over the past several years, the dramatic growth of HPU and the incredible beauty of the campus has rocketed it to the top of High Point’s ‘Must See List,’ ” said Charlotte Young, president and CEO of the High Point Convention and Visitors Bureau. The university is closing out a $300 million upgrade, but officials continue to hire teachers for new departments in 15 new academic buildings as enrollment grows. Last year, HPU hired 108 people to fill new positions in teaching, administration, food service and campus enhancement. Overall, the university has an economic impact in the four-county regional

It has been in subsequent publications that have gone out to students. It’s on our Web site, and we are following it just as we said we would.” Palmer said Davidson County Schools has one remaining snow day left

– June 10. She said any other make-up days would have to be set by the Davidson County Board of Education. Rick Jones, career technical education director of Thomasville City Schools, said his system is slated to make up days on April 6, April 7 and June 10. Although the Thomasville Board of Education has approved the make-up days in its 2009-10 calendar, the school board has to formally approve them, Jones said. “Right now, we don’t have a whole lot of wiggle

room,” Jones said. “... It’s one of those things where I’m hoping we don’t have any more snow.” Jones said the system has no remaining makeup days in its calendar. If there is more snow, the system has the options of using Memorial Day or adding days to end of the school year, which would require a waiver from the N.C. Department of Public Instruction, Jones said. Beverly Fowler, executive assistant with Randolph County Schools, said Monday will be made up Feb. 15, Tuesday on April

9, and Wednesday on April 8. Fowler said the system has other make-up days set for April 6, April 7 and June 9. Tony Peele, director of human resources for Davidson County Schools, said school systems don’t have much leeway with setting make-up days because of state law. “If we could spread them out and have breaks at different times, put more days off in the calendar, then we could leave spring break alone,” he said. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Culp Inc., one of the only companies in the Triad traded on the NYSE, announced Monday it had regained the compliance. Officials attributed that to a financial reorganization of the

company that reduced its total debt. Improving the company’s overall financial status simultaneously allowed it to meet the NYSE’s compliance standards, said Ken Bowling, CFO of the company. “It’s an important milestone for the company to remain on the NYSE,” he said. “We knew if we met our other operational goals, then more than likely we would achieve that goal as well.” The mattress and upholstery fabric marketer received a let-

ter from the NYSE in December 2008 stating it had fallen below both the minimum shareholders’ equity and market capitalization requirements for continued listing on the NYSE. It submitted an 18-month plan, and the NYSE evaluated the company against the plan for 12 months until it exceeded certain quantitative measures for two consecutive quarters, Bowling said. “We came out early,” he said. “Our goal is to never fall below compliance again.”

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

At the time it received the letter of non-compliance, the company was well into the motions of improving its financial status, which it began after it owed nearly $140 million to lenders in 2000. In December, Culp announced it had reduced its total debt to $16.4 million while its cash balance was $19.6 million. It marked the first time in 30 years the company’s cash balance exceeded total debt. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Changing schools may not cure what ails child

ear Abby: You missed an important clue in the letter from “Must Choose in Maryland” (Nov. 30), who is considering moving to improve her daughter’s school life. Abby, the child is only 7. She has been in public school for three years, so the private school where she “flourished” was PRESCHOOL. Many children encounter problems when school becomes more difficult and grading is involved. Before moving and losing her “great job, wonderful friends and comfortable lifestyle,” that mother should try more options. “Must Choose” should consider having her daughter tested for learning disabilities or physical problems. She needs to work with her daughter’s school and teachers, and maybe employ private tutoring or counseling to find methods that improve the way her daughter learns. It’s possible that if they move, they will only take their problems with them. – Former Preschool And Public School Teacher Dear Teacher: I appreciate your offering your insight. Many readers pointed out how important it is for this mother to be proactive during any transition in her child’s life. Read on: Dear Abby: Most children are successful in school at age 4. Before uprooting her family, “Must Choose” should meet with the school’s prin-

cipal and teachers to determine exactly why her daughter “hates” school. What criADVICE teria, other than her Dear daughter’s Abby feelings, is ■■■ she using as an indicator that the schools are awful? Test data, facilities, community support, teacher qualifications, etc. should be reviewed. Moving won’t ensure a successful educational experience for her daughter. Understanding and dealing with what’s at the root of the child’s failure will. – Carol In Texas

to talk with her daughter’s teacher. She may find an ally there who is as invested in her daughter’s social and academic success as she is – and not an enemy. – Jenni in Warrenton, Mo.

Dear Abby: “Must Choose” needs to examine her daughter’s situation more carefully. In preschool, children generally learn social skills, with some introduction to letters and numbers. From kindergarten to second grade, classroom instruction in mathematical and reading skills carry expectations of mastery. Comparing the enthusiasm and success of preschool to grade school achievements is like comparing apples to oranges. Her daughter may be exhibiting signs of learning disabilities much before second grade because children develop at different rates. It is when they begin to learn to read and do mathematical computations that these difficulties are recognized. I encourage this mother

Dear Abby: “Public” education should not automatically translate to “substandard.” Good teachers in public or private schools encourage and support students at multiple stages of development. “Must Choose” should spend time in her daughter’s classroom to observe, volunteer and ask questions. If there’s a problem, intervention needs to happen sooner rather than later. Open, honest and constructive feedback directed toward a solution is in order. – Educational Soapbox, U.S.A.

Dear Abby: If “Must Choose” keeps moving, a new group of educators will have to start from scratch to evaluate the issues. As a public school teacher in a diverse district, I often see parents run from the school rather than work to help their children succeed. That mother needs to work with the professional educators in her district to get to the bottom of her child’s problems. – Ohio Teacher

Too many platelets often can safely go untreated

ear Dr. Donohue: My platelet counts have been high. I take hydroxyurea for this. My diagnosis is essential thrombocytosis. Is there a danger of clotting? Why have they told me not to hold the hydroxyurea capsules in my hand, but to take one directly into my mouth from the bottle? I was told to wash my hands if I accidentally touched one. – J.P.

BLONDIE

Platelets also are called thrombocytes. Essential thrombocytosis is an overproduction of these clotting cells. No one can say with certainty why the bone marrow starts producing them in profusion. It’s logical to think that the biggest danger from overproduction would be clotting. Strangely, the high count is more often associated with bleeding. The massproduced platelets are poorly assembled. If people with high platelet counts have no symptoms and no hint of heart disease, often treatment is deferred. If platelet reduction is deemed necessary for health, hydroxyurea is one drug often employed. Your current platelet counts are not in dangerous territory. In a deleted part of your letter, you ask about your hemoglobin and red blood cell counts. They are a bit low, indicating anemia. They’re not so low that

you need quick attention to this matter. You’re only borderline anemic. Your HEALTH personal physician Dr. Paul has to exDonohue plain these ■■■ changes. I can’t. There are too many possibilities. Hydroxyurea can be absorbed through the skin and can create skin problems. The manufacturer says to handle only if you wear gloves, or to take it directly from the bottle with a glass of water. About your pamphlet order: Please write me again, explaining the situation. Put your address in the letter. I don’t get the envelopes sent to me. Dear Dr. Donohue: You never seem to address the kind of calcium I take: calcium phosphate. You mention only calcium carbonate or calcium citrate. The brand name of my calcium is Posture-D. Must it be taken with food? – M.H. Calcium carbonate and calcium citrate are the two most widely used calcium supplements. Calcium citrate can be taken at any time of the day. Calcium carbonate is better absorbed if it is taken during or after a

meal. The high stomach acid concentration at that time renders it more easily taken into the blood. Other calcium preparations, like calcium phosphate, are digested more readily at or after meals too. People should realize that there are food sources of calcium. Dairy products are the richest source. An 8-ounce glass of low-fat milk has 300 mg; 1 ounce of cheese, between 200 and 300 mg; 1 cup of yogurt, 450 mg. A cup of spinach has 245 mg; a cup of collard greens, 266 mg; a cup of navy beans, 126 mg. Dear Dr. Donohue: We’re told to get five servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Just what is a serving? – L.L. For fruits, a serving is the equivalent of a medium-size apple, banana or orange. A half a cup of chopped canned fruit or three-fourths of a cup of fruit juice also constitutes a serving. For vegetables, one cup of leafy greens is a serving, as is half a cup of cooked vegetables or three-fourths of a cup of vegetable juice. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

Ryan Merriman makes good CROWN FEATURES SYNDICATE

yan Merriman is a throwback to a bygone era, the kind of stand-up guy who – in a world of “Me first!” – isn’t supposed to still exist. But exist he does, remaining loyal to his high school sweetheart (now his wife of five years), speaking to his mother every day on the telephone, giving much of his time to charities, practicing unfailing politeness and generally acting like few 26-year-old guys who hit the jackpot in Hollywood at a tender age. This is, in short, the kind of Midwestern values guy we root for, big time. But when you say this to Merriman, he shrugs in the kind of “Aw shucks” way that you might expect of a kid born in Choctaw, Okla., who doesn’t think what he’s doing now is much of a big deal at all. Were he Jewish, he would be referred to as a “mensch.”

But Merriman will have none of this talk, of course. Which is hardly a surprise at all. “The truth is that I’m the lucky one,” Merriman maintains. “I feel like with all the good stuff that’s already happened to me, God’s got his hand on my shoulder. It seems like He’s always done the right thing for me when I needed it. I mean, shoot, look at all the success I’ve had, and I’m just in my 20s. That isn’t because I’m so cool. I really have been tremendously fortunate.” Of course, one can make the argument that we make our own luck. And if that’s the case, Merriman has put out plenty of effort to remain on a steady roll after having landed in show business at the ripe young age of 11. That was when he was brought out to Los Angeles, after having done commercials and local theater in Oklahoma, with a phone call from filmmaker Rob Reiner.

It was 1994, and Reiner wanted Merriman to audition for the lead in his new feature, “North.” The story goes that the young actor was kept waiting for 10 days after reading for the part when Reiner couldn’t decide between Merriman and another young lad named Elijah Wood. “I didn’t wind up getting that, you may remember,” Merriman informs. But that turned out to be another stroke of luck. With Wood as its star, “North” would go on to become the biggest bomb of Reiner’s career, a film that Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert once referred to on their show as “the worst film in history.” Merriman dodged a bullet. “That’s what I mean by God having a hand on my shoulder,” he reiterates. And right after missing out on “North,” Merriman wound up getting cast in a new NBC comedy series, “The Mommies,” in ’94

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– and his career was off to the races. He’s now up to three TV series and some 25 movies in 15 years, ranging from “The Ring Two” and “Final Destination 3” to a saucy romantic comedy called “Elevator Girl.” “Elevator Girl” is a new Hallmark Channel Original Movie premiering at 9 p.m. Feb. 13, which stars Merriman and “Party of Five” regular Lacey Chabert as unlikely lovebirds thrust together by chance when the elevator both are riding on breaks down. He’s a hunky workaholic lawyer working at a bigtime law firm. She’s a free-spirited, artsy type working as a caterer at the dinner that’s being thrown in his honor. “It’s the kind of project every young actor dreams about being a part of,” Merriman gushes. “I get to play a young lawyer who wears Italian suits and drives a Mercedes. Who wouldn’t want that?

Rebecca Stead’s “When You Reach Me” and Jerry Pinkney’s “The Lion and the Mouse,” two highly praised books for young people, have received the top prizes in children’s literature. Stead’s intricate, time-traveling narrative set in 1970s Manhattan, which was inspired in part by Madeleine L’Engle’s “A Wrinkle in Time,” won the John Newbery Medal for best children’s book. The Randolph Caldecott prize for picture books was given to Pinkney’s wordless telling of the classic Aesop fable. The awards were announced in January in Boston at the American Library Association’s annual midwinter meeting. The Newbery and Caldecott, both founded decades ago, bring prestige and the hope of higher sales to children’s authors. Previous winners such as “A Wrinkle in Time” and Louis Sachar’s “Holes” have become standards, but more recent picks have been criticized by librarians as being too difficult (“Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! Voices From a Medieval Village,” by Laura Amy Schlitz) or for having inappropriate content (Susan Patron’s “The Higher Power of Lucky”). This year’s winners were considered leading contenders. Stead’s book, the adventures of a sixth-grader named Miranda, was praised by The New York Times as a “taut novel,” in which “every word, every sentence, has meaning and substance.” Elizabeth Bird of the School Library Journal called “When You Reach Me” among “the best children’s books I have ever read” and cited Pinkney, a five-time runner-up for the Caldecott, for creating “wordless picture gold.” Julia Alvarez, known to adults for the best-selling “How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents,” won the Pura Belpre Author Award, for best book by a Latino or Latina, for “Return to Sender.”

“Here’s the trouble with doing something right the first time,” Cy the Cynic grumbled: “Nobody appreciates how hard it was.” In a team match, Cy was declarer at today’s grand slam and had one chance to make it. At the other table, West led a trump, and South drew trumps and took the A-K-Q of spades. When East discarded, South ruffed a spade in dummy and cashed the A-K of clubs. He took his good spade and tried a diamond finesse with the queen. It was a decent line of play, but it went unappreciated – except by East-West.

TRUMP LEAD Cy won the first trump with the ace, took the ace of diamonds and ruffed a diamond. He led a trump to dummy, ruffed the queen of diamonds, led a club to the ace and drew the last trump, pitching a club. Cy then took the top spades and ruffed a spade. He came back to the king of clubs and took the good spade. Making seven. “Almost perfect,” I said. “Didn’t your partner appreciate your play?” “He asked what took me so long,” the Cynic sighed.

Thursday, Feb. 4, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Brandon “Bug” Hall, 25; Oscar De La Hoya, 37; Clint Black, 48; Alice Cooper, 62 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You will have to take advantage of every tax incentive, sale or good deal that comes along. The more aggressive you are, the better positioned you will become throughout the year. Don’t let someone else’s dilemmas hold you back. Keep your emotions out of the mix and focus on the future. Your numbers are 5, 14, 17, 21, 28, 30, 46 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You have to focus on what’s important and not what’s unavailable. It’s the here-and-now that will lead you to a better future. Handle whatever situation you face with dignity and grace and it will lead you in a positive direction. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Avoid emotional outbreaks. Stay level and pick your battles wisely. Don’t let anyone take advantage but don’t engage in a war. Walk away and pursue something that will allow you to show your better qualities and talents. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Concentrate on methods that position you for bigger and better results. Advancement is apparent if you are willing to go above and beyond what others are offering. You have the insight and the imagination to outmaneuver the competition. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t let an opportunity pass you by because you are not ready to make any changes to your life. Regrets are never fun to deal with, so take action. It’s time to reach unfinished dreams, goals and destinations. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t aggravate an already tumultuous situation. Back away and observe. Act compassionately and listen, but remain neutral and you will be the one who sits in a position of strength. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make the effort to sort out a problem that’s been brewing for some time. Make the call or visit the person and clear up any misunderstanding. Networking will enable you to take a project you want to develop to the next level. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Past experiences can teach you not to be vulnerable in the future. If you recognize some of the mistakes you have made, you will avoid a confrontation with someone who has a certain amount of control in your life. Love is in the stars. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Keep your thoughts to yourself. You will face deception that will mislead you if you are too trusting and open. Focus on creativity and developing a project that allows you to excel financially. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Pull out every possible trick if it will help you gain ground. Utilize the people you know and the talents you have to get things done to your liking. Don’t take risks or leave anything to chance. Romance will flourish. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t be swindled by someone you thought you could trust. Emotional blackmail will result in a financial loss. Added responsibilities must not be taken lightly or even considered if you don’t have the time to do the best job possible. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Convince someone you care for that you should be doing more together. It’s up to you to make the first move. Negotiate or settle a dispute and you will feel less stress and greater freedom to pursue new avenues. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t allow your emotions to lead the way when a practical attitude will be what benefits you most. Follow your better judgment, not what someone else decides to do. Opportunity is knocking and it’s important that you answer the right door. ★★★ 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.

WHO’S NEWS

---

hey spent the last three years leading Ragsdale to incredible success on the football field in the fall. Each spring, they gathered as guests in the school media center as yet another impressive crop of Tigers signed scholarship deals. Wednesday, it was their turn in the spotlight. “Waiting for this day the whole senior season and then it comes – it’s more exciting than you thought it would be,” Cedric SPORTS Ellison said. Agreed Daniel Steve McNeil: “It’s really Hanf exciting. I always ■■■ wanted to be here, but I needed to make it happen.” Ellison, McNeil and Walt Sparks made it happen on the defensive end for the Tigers, while Kasey Redfern was a special teams ace. The scholarship offers they signed Wednesday – three to NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision schools and one D-II deal – made it 37 college players during Tommy Norwood’s 12 years at the school. The coach cautioned his talented quartet that the fun days of high school ball soon would be behind them. “Today you put your name on that sheet of paper and it becomes a job,” Norwood said before a large crowd of family, friends and coaches at the school. “Yeah, they’re paying for your education, but you’re going to earn it.” McNeil stays the closest of all the Tigers, signing with North Carolina A&T and second-year head coach Alonzo Lee. The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference squad went 5-6 last fall after a number of down years, and McNeil liked what he saw while comparing official visits to A&T and N.C. Central. “I really liked Coach Lee. He’s a great person, and it’s close to home,” McNeil said. “I can get some home-cooked meals on Sunday.” Especially mom Tammie McCandies’ spaghetti. McNeil, a bruising 6-foot-2, 210-pounder, devoured opposing quarterbacks during his senior season. He recorded 11

Five Ragsdale athletes signed on the dotted line on Wednesday. Front row, left to right: Walt Sparks (Richmond), Alex Kubrick (Charlotte), Cedric Ellison (Wingate). Back row, left to right: Kasey Redfern (Wofford), Daniel McNeil (N.C. A&T).

Ragsdale keeper looks to strike gold with 49ers. 4D sacks from his defensive end spot, which he’ll also play for the Aggies. McNeil plans to major in sports science and fitness management. Redfern and Sparks had a chance to be teammates, as both received “preferred walk-on” offers from N.C. State. “Wofford gave me a scholarship, I liked all the coaches, that made my decision,” Redfern said after considering the Wolfpack offer. Remarkably, Redfern was on track several years ago to be celebrating a soccer scholarship on this day. The talented goal keeper didn’t begin kicking for the Tigers until his sophomore season, but burst onto the football scene the past two years. As a senior, he recorded 53 touchbacks on 80 kickoffs, punted for a 34.8-yard average and connected on 45 PATs and seven field goals. Still, his lack of experience made for anxious mo-

ments leading up to signing day. “I kept working at it, kept kicking,” Redfern said. “I’m excited about my decision.” The Terriers, who play in the Southern Conference, went 3-8 last year and are in need of a kickoff specialist and punter for the 2010 season, Redfern said. “If I win the field-goal job, I can do all three,” he said, adding that he’s leaning toward a business and accounting major. “I’m trying to do all three.” Sparks considered State’s offer until the last minute, but finally signed with Richmond. “N.C. State was a great opportunity, but ultimately Richmond was the place to go,” he said. “That was my gut feeling. I’m always going to go with my gut feeling – learned that from playing linebacker.” There’s not much about the Spiders – members of the Colonial Athletic Association – not to like after they won the FCS national championship in 2008. “I went up there, saw the ring. That thing is as big as my whole hand,” Sparks said. “And it’s too good of an education to pass up.” Sparks recorded 114 tackles and six sacks from his linebacker

spot last fall, yet will start his freshman season as the Spiders’ long snapper. After that, Sparks explained, he can fight for time on both special teams and defense. “All the people around here who have seen me play, they know I can play, I know I can play,” said Sparks, who plans to pursue an MBA. “But Richmond needs me to long snap this year. I looked at Richmond as, ‘If it’s just a long-snapping opportunity, would I want to be there?’ Yeah. It’s that good a place.” Ellison chose Wingate, a member of the Division II South Atlantic Conference, over Howard, Marist, St. Augustine’s and Mars Hill. The Tigers’ big defensive tackle, who recorded 51 tackles and three sacks in his senior season, will play nose tackle for the Bulldogs while majoring in business. “It felt just like Ragsdale,” he said of choosing the small college just outside of Charlotte. “I wanted to stick with the family atmosphere just like we have here. I was excited about that when I went on the official visit.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Freeney, Powers miss Colts practice

Cavaliers shackle Wolfpack CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) – Mike Scott scored 15 points and Virginia held N.C. State scoreless for more than seven minutes on the way to a 59-47 victory Wednesday night. Virginia (14-6, 5-2 ACC) regained a share of first place in the conference with No. 10 Duke, and completed a season sweep of the Wolfpack. State (14-9, 2-6) led 28-25 at halftime, but managed just 19 points in the second half, none during a stretch when Virginia turned a 32-29 deficit into a 40-32 lead. Richard Howell led State with 14 points and Tracy Smith had 12. Mustapha Farrakhan added 11 points and Jerome Meyinsse 10 for Virginia, while Sylven Landesberg failed to score in double figures for the first time this season, finishing with seven. But Landes-

berg, who shot 2-for-10, contributed a career-high nine assists. The Cavaliers trailed 32-29 after Smith’s inside basket with 16:55 left, but the Cavaliers tightened the defensive screws and started getting some shots to fall. Beginning with a runner by Calvin Baker, Virginia scored the next 11 points and held the Wolfpack scoreless for more than seven minutes to open a 40-32 advantage. Sammy Zeglinski had a 10-footer and Meyinsse a threepoint play in the run, and Scott scored the last four. After Dennis Horner gave State its first points in 7:17 with a layup, Farrakhan hit a 3-pointer for Virginia, part of a 3-minute spree in which he hit another 3-pointer and a dunk that led to a three-point play. The Wolfpack trailed 51-38 with 5:28 to play.

N.C. State’s Farnold Degand drives past Virginia’s Jontel Evans during Wednesday night’s game in Charlottesville.

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) – The Indianapolis Colts’ first practice in South Florida followed the script. Injured defensive end Dwight Freeney wasn’t on the field. Injured cornerback Jerraud Powers was on the sideline, and fourtime league MVP Peyton Manning looked like his old self Wednesday. Freeney, the All-Pro defensive end, has a torn ligament in his right ankle and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against New Orleans. Powers, a rookie, has a left foot injury. Both were expected to sit out Wednesday.

HIT AND RUN

---

onight’s ACC schedule features a pair of contests that are big for surprising reasons. Duke plays host to Georgia Tech at 7 p.m., while North Carolina visits Virginia Tech for a 9 p.m. showdown. Both games should be barnburners. Duke looks to avenge a 71-67 loss in Atlanta on Jan. 9 that signaled the start of a January road swoon for the Blue Devils. Sure, Duke currently stands 5-2 in league

play and 17-4 overall. But the Blue Devils fattened up on home cooking with three January blowout victories. Duke added a 13point triumph at Clemson, but also suffered a pair of one-sided setbacks at N.C. State and Georgetown. The Devils need an impressive performance tonight to get their February off on the right foot. Duke hopes that will translate into better road results down the stretch. The Tar Heels, meanwhile, go for a season

sweep after they pulled away from the Hokies for a 78-64 win in Chapel Hill on Jan. 10. Little has gone right for the Tar Heels since. UNC (13-8, 2-4) has lost four of its last five games and is in danger of landing on the dreaded NCAA Tournament bubble without a strong February kick. The Heels need that push to start tonight.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

Southern Guilford senior Josh McDuffie signed a scholarship deal Wednesday to play football at UNC Pembroke. McDuffie, an outside linebacker, free safety and running back for the Storm, finished with 89 tackles last fall to go along with three fumbles caused (one recovery) and seven pass break-ups. The talented athlete added 578 yards rushing and seven touchdowns, and capped his career with eight total blocked kicks. “Josh has worked extremely hard to turn himself into a very good football player,” Storm coach Darryl Brown said of the two-time all-conference performer, who likely will play strong safety at UNCP. “His toughness and work ethic is what has allowed him to get to this point today.” McDuffie picked Pembroke after also receiving offers from Wingate and Western Carolina. In the Braves, he joins a new program that finished 9-2 last year, reached the NCAA Division II playoffs and ended the year 24th in the final D2Football. com poll.

Although Paul is likely to be sidelined for up to a month, Bower wouldn’t give a timetable for his return. “We are anticipating a very successful process,” Bower said Wednesday. “We look forward to his return to action at some point later on. The time frame will be determined after the surgery. I won’t speculate on that.” Paul hurt the knee Jan. 27 against Golden State, then aggravated the injury when he collided with a camera while chasing an errant pass in the final seconds of regulation against the Chicago Bulls on Friday.

Lancers slash Panthers with late rally SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

FARMVILLE, Va. – High Point’s men’s basketball team stepped out of conference on Tuesday night for the final time this season. The Panthers lost their footing late and stumbled to a 70-66 loss. HPU led by 10 in the final minutes before the Lancers stormed back to secure an unlikely victory. The Lancers scored 16 of the game’s final 18 points. HPU was

held without a field goal over the final five minutes. The Panthers fell to 11-11. The Lancers upped their mark to 6-16. “It was a really good basketball game and a really good atmosphere, and my hat goes off to those guys,” said HPU head coach Scott Cherry. “We lost our aggressiveness offensively in the last few minutes and needed to make some defensive stops. We should have won that game. We had control with five, six minutes to

go and we let the lead slip away.” Nick Barbour paced the Panthers with 20 points. Corey Law chipped in 15 points and 13 rebounds for HPU. Law converted three baskets and a free throw to give the Panthers a 64-54 cushion. But the Lancers unleashed a 9-0 run to tighten things up and tied the game at 66 when Kevin Swecker hit a three-pointer to tie it with 49 seconds to go. Longwood’s Aaron Mitchell and Dana Smith nailed two free throws each in the

final 30 seconds to seal the victory. Antwan Carter scored 19 points for Longwood, Mitchell scored 18 and Smith 17. Smith also had 13 rebounds. HPU led by as many as 14 points in the first half and was up 51-38 after a Eugene Harris 3-pointer with 14:19 to go. The Panthers resume their Big South schedule on Saturday at Radford. Game time is 7 p.m. High Point took an 83-77 win over the Highlanders on Jan. 9 at the Millis Center.

Demon Deacons get message, slam Miami

n the aftermath of Wake Forest’s 79-58 blowout loss at Georgia Tech last week, head coach Dino Gaudio not surprisingly dropped the hammer in practice the next day. “The next day in practice, we mixed the team up,” Gaudio said. “I had (senior point guard) Ish (Smith) as the point guard on one team and (freshman starter) C.J. (Harris) as the point guard on the other. I had (senior forward) L.D. (Williams) over here and (freshman forward) Ari Stewart over there. Those guys competed. They got after each other.” The description Harris gave wasn’t in quite so antiseptic terms. “That next practice, it’s ridiculous how hard we went all out,” Harris said. “We’re diving on the floor, talking junk to each other. It goes back to summer school and preseason, how hard we go.” Smith said Gaudio questioned the Deacs’ toughness. Senior center Chas McFarland explained the hard workout was similar to those after each of Wake’s five losses this season. “As a team, we know what we can accomplish and what we need to accomplish,” McFarland said. “We just went back to the basics and started all over and worked on the things that we didn’t do very well at Georgia Tech. It was just a real competitive practice.” Wake responded well enough Tuesday night at Joel Coliseum to edge Miami 62-53 on the strength of its defense and avoid back-to-back losses for the first time since losing at home against William & Mary and then at Purdue.

The latest rebound lifted the Deacons to 15-5 overall and a 5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference SPORTS mark that put them no Greer worse than Smith a half-game ■■■ out of first place pending Duke’s game against Georgia Tech tonight. Wake fashioned its conference mark with home wins against N.C. State, Maryland and Virginia as well as Miami plus a road victory at UNC, and losses at Miami and Duke as well as Georgia Tech. “I wish we were 6-2, and if we box out at Miami and grab that last rebound (off a Smith miss) maybe we are,” Gaudio said. “Heck, I wish we were 8-0. I like where we are at. I like the chemistry the kids have. They are really together. “The game reveals character and it reveals it at the most adverse time – when you lose. We have our best practices after we lose. ... We have a lot of toughness and character and a lot of heart. They’ve bounced back in a lot of tough venues against tough teams. I’m proud of him.” They barely prevailed against a Miami team that shot 30 percent from the field as it fell to 16-6, 2-6. Wake held a 25-8 lead with 6:42 to play in the first half, then failed to put the game away when it made just three field goals and committed four turnovers on 10 fastbreak opportunities. Wake prevailed even though it shot 32 percent in the second half and had just one field goal in the last nine minutes.

It prevailed by shutting down the Hurricanes on their last seven possessions after they pulled within 55-52 with 5:38 to go. The Deacs won despite a 4-for-12 shooting night by Smith and get-

ting just six points from Al-Farouq Aminu. “I give us a solid B, possibly a B-minus because I’m a tough grader,” Smith said. “We need to get better in every aspect, rebounding to shooting

to free throw. Everything can get better.” The Deacons have two more days to improve before going to Virginia on Saturday.

Tar Heels notch early recruiting boost up front

Tough Tiger picks 49ers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHAPEL HILL – James Hurst and T.J. Leifheit are already on campus at North Carolina, working in the weight room and studying film to get ready for spring practice. The offensive linemen are part of the Tar Heels’ 21-player recruiting class for the upcoming season — and they could be immediately valuable for a team that struggled with injuries and depth on the line last season. The early arrivals give a boost up front to Davis’ fourth recruiting class, which grabbed a little of everything except when it came to a quarterback. Davis said the coaching staff was satisfied with rising senior T.J. Yates and youngsters Braden Hanson and Bryn Renner, focusing instead on adding four offensive linemen and four defensive linemen. Hurst, a native of Plainfield, Ind., was rated as a five-star prospect by Scout.com, which also had him as the No. 3 offensive tackle nationally. Leifheit was a four-star prospect and was regarded as one of the state’s top prospects out of Wilmington. Another early enrollee is four-star defensive lineman Brandon Willis, a Duncan, S.C., native who switched his commitment from Tennessee when Lane Kiffin left Knoxville to take over at Southern California. North Carolina also landed four-star prospects in running back Giovanni Bernard of Davie, Fla., and defensive lineman Kareem Martin of Roanoke Rapids. They also have five players listed as multi-positional athletes for versatility. The Tar Heels finished with the No. 31-rated class nationally, according to Scout.com.

DUKE CLASS HAS STRONG IN-STATE FLAVOR DURHAM – Duke has started winning more often on the field under David Cutcliffe. The Blue Devils think they’ve figured out how to succeed on Signing Day, too. Nine of the 19 players they signed Wednesday come from North Carolina high schools, the second straight year they’ve made successful inroads in a state that never seems to have a shortage of quality Division I prospects. The recruiting experts rank this class near the bottom of the Atlantic Coast Conference and in the middle of the pack in the Bowl Subdivision. According to Scout.com, all the signees are rated as either two- or three-star prospects. The gem might have come from out of state. Scout. com rates Chicago native Laken Tomlinson, a 6foot-5, 295-pound lineman, as the nation’s 23rd-best offensive guard. Several other players have impressive bloodlines. Receiver Brandon Braxton is the son of David Braxton, a six-year NFL veteran with Minnesota, Arizona and Cincinnati. The father of linebacker Kelby Brown Jr. played at Northwestern, and receiver Braxton Deaver’s father Jay was a four-year letterman at Wake Forest in the late 1980s. Cutcliffe said 10 of his signees run the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds or better. “Speed never had a bad day in football,” Cutcliffe said.

FIVE-STAR OL HEADLINES WOLFPACK CLASS RALEIGH – Tom O’Brien announced a five-star offensive-line prospect that signed with N.C. State. Then he ran down the list of current Wolfpack players who weren’t regarded nearly that highly by the recruiting experts. The lesson: You can’t judge how successful a recruiting class is until the players actually take the field. N.C. State on Wednesday announced its 19-player recruiting class as part of Signing Day festivities, with the jewel of the crop being offensive tackle Robert Crisp – seemingly a can’t-miss prospect who comes to campus from a few miles away at Raleigh’s Athens Drive High School. Durham receiver Anthony Creecy was rated as a four-star prospect, according to Scout.com, and the recruiting service graded the class as in the middle of the Atlantic Coast Conference pack and 41st nationally. Nearly every other player in the balanced class received three stars from the recruiting service. Some defensive backs could provide instant help, namely Dontae Johnson, D.J. Green and David Amerson – the “key cog,” said Safrit, for a defense that ranked among the ACC’s worst against the pass during a 5-7 finish last season. And then there’s Crisp, rated as the nation’s fourth-best prospect at offensive tackle.

ECU’S MCNEILL: COMMITMENTS HELD FIRM Ruffin McNeill never got much of a chance to settle in as East Carolina’s new coach before he had to hit the road for recruiting. His job was simple: keep the recruits who had committed to play for the Pirates when Skip Holtz was still in Greenville. “It’s been a whirlwind, but a fun whirlwind,” McNeill said Wednesday, the day the Pirates unveiled an 18-player recruiting class. “It was plane to plane, city to city, hotel to hotel, rental car to rental car, but it’s been fun.” McNeill immediately met with the current players after being hired Jan. 21 to replace Holtz, who left for South Florida. He met with all the recruits except quarterback Shane Carden of Bellaire, Texas, but that was because he and new offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley had contact with him when they were assistants at Texas Tech.

Wake Forest head football coach Jim Grobe signed a recruiting class of 21 on Wednesday.

Wake’s Grobe rethinks strategy BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – For years, Wake Forest head football coach Jim Grobe made it his practice to redshirt as many freshman as possible. Trying to rebound from a disappointed 5-7 season which kept the Demon Deacons from going to a bowl for the fourth straight year, Grobe is rethinking his strategy. “I think not playing some of the freshman may have hurt us a little bit,” Grobe said. “If some kids in here and see if they can help us get to a bowl game or contend for the ACC championship, then we’re going to let them play. We had some guys last year that if they had played, they might have made enough plays that we might have won another game and gone to a bowl.” Grobe announced Wednesday that those potential contributors for this fall will come from a recruiting class of 21. The group includes three running backs, a quarterback, two tight ends, three offensive lineman, two wide receivers, three defensive linebackers, four defensive backs and a long snapper. Rival.com rates it as the 68th-best nationally and 11th in the ACC. The defensive secondary was the biggest area that Grobe thought he needed to fill holes after never finding a stable unit there last season. It is also the area where Wake landed its highest-rate recruit – A.J. Marshall, a 511, 180-pound defensive back from Southern Durham. Grobe also is high on Desmond Cooper a 6-2, 200-pound safety from the Bolles School in Jacksonville, Fla., the same school that produced Deacon record-setting quarterback Riley Skinner. Other defensive back signed were Merill Noel form Pahokke, Fla., and Kevin Johnson of Clarksvile, Md. “All of them are fliers,” Grobe said. “They can all run really well. Desmond Cooper’s a pretty physical kid as a safety; he’s a really good tackler, and the other corners can really run. I think we’ve got four pretty good players that any one of those four could contribute in a hurry.” The other area where true freshmen recruits may start is on the defensive line, where Wake is losing John Russell, Boo Robinson and Mike Lockett to graduation. Grobe added Antonio Ford, a 6-3, 280-pounder from Pahokee. Duke Mosby, 6-2, 290-pounder from Washington, D.C., and Daniel Vogerlang, a 6-3, 235pounder from Versailles, Ky. Tanner Price (6-2, 190 pounds from Austin, Texas) was the only quarterback signed as the Deacons replace graduated Skinner. Grobe said three holdovers will get equal looks in spring practice and Price will be added to the mix in the fall. “We’ll give Tanner a chance to compete when he gets here,” Grobe said. Ford and Vogelsang are among six recruits already in school. Ford, linebacker Zachary Allen of Pahokee and tight end Jonathan Garcia of Cape Coral, Florida, graduated early. Vogelsang, long snapper Logan Feimster of Statesville and linebacker Patrick Thompson of Ashburn, Va., are what Grobe calls grayshirts – recruits who delayed enrolling for a semester. Grobe said Joseph Byrd, a 5-20, 170-pound running back from Cape Coral, could be a grayshirt this year should he need time to recover from a knee injury. Grobe said Byrd is running track this spring in quest of a state championship and won’t have surgery until after track season.

JAMESTOWN – Brien Braswell recalled Alex Kubrick crashing into the post and chipping a tooth while making a save earlier in her career. She didn’t want to leave the game. The Ragsdale coach also remembered a time when the goalie was forced to leave a game – after receiving two yellow cards in the same match. “I’ve never seen that – she was just defending her turf,” Braswell praised. “She has a calm demeanor, she’s levelheaded, composed, but so competitive. That’s hard to coach. She makes all her teammates look better, and she makes me look really good.” And Braswell would know. Since he started coaching the Ragsdale girls in 1990, three keepers to come through the program went on to play Division I soccer: Irena Fulp to Duke, Siri Mullinix to North Carolina before joining Team USA, and now Kubrick, who officially signed with the Charlotte 49ers on Wednesday. How talented is Kubrick? “If Siri Mullinix and Alex were in school at the same time, it’d be

a tough decision as to who’s going to be in the goal,” Braswell offered. “It really would be.” Kubrick started playing soccer at the age of 8 and quickly felt at home in the nets. Around her eighth- and ninth-grade seasons, it hit home that she’d have a chance to play the game for years to come. “I didn’t really ever think about it, but coaches started telling me if I worked hard enough, I’d have the potential to do it,” Kubrick said. “It’s definitely very exciting. I’ve been committed for a while, so it’s good it’s official now.” Kubrick picked the 49ers last March over schools such as Liberty, Belmont, High Point and Western Carolina. After one last run with the Tigers this spring, she’ll join a Charlotte team that won 16 games last season and played in its third straight Atlantic 10 Conference championship game. “Of all the places I visited, it seemed like the perfect fit,” said Kubrick, who remains undecided on a major. “It’s a good size, a good distance away from home, I have a big variety of subjects to study, the soccer team is Top 25 and I liked the coaches and players.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Toyota problems continue to mount WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal safety officials have widened their investigation of Toyota’s sticky gas pedals to see if the same problem could exist for other automakers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has sent a letter to CTS, the Indiana company that made the pedals behind Toyota’s recall of millions of vehicles. The safety agency wants to know more about pedals that CTS made for other auto companies. Toyota recalled 2.3 million vehicles in the U.S. last month because their accelerator pedals may stick and cause crashes. The automaker is sending dealers parts to repair the

pedals this week. CTS says it makes pedals for companies like Honda, Nissan and a small number of Ford vehicles in China. CTS been adamant that the issues are limited to Toyota alone. Other automakers have also said their pedals are based on different designs and aren’t at risk for the same problems. Meanwhile, Toyota Motor Corp. has been hit by over 100 complaints alone in the U.S. and Japan about brake problems with the popular Prius hybrid. The Japanese company’s sales are being battered in the U.S. — Toyota’s biggest market — after recalls of top-selling models to fix a gas pedal that can stick in the depressed position.

The new Prius gas-electric hybrid, which went on sale in Japan and the U.S. in May 2009, is not part of the recalls that extend to Europe and China, covering nearly 4.5 million vehicles. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has received about 100 complaints involving the brakes of the Prius new model. Two involved crashes resulting in injuries. Japan’s transport ministry said Wednesday it has also received 14 complaints since July last year about brake problems with Toyota’s new Prius hybrid. The 14 complaints included an accident in July 2009, in which a Prius crashed head on into an-

Meanwhile, Toyota is sending checks this week to its dealers based on the number of cars each dealer sold last year. Dealers who sold fewer than 500 cars will get $7,500. Dealers who sold more than 4,000 will get $75,000. In a letter obtained by The Associated Press, Toyota group vice president Bob Carter thanks dealers for extending service hours and providing car washes and other services. Carter says the payments will help with those measures.

Time Warner posts 4th-quarter profit NEW YORK (AP) — Media conglomerate Time Warner Inc. said Wednesday that improving results at its movie studio and cable networks boosted fourth-quarter revenue, and smaller one-time expenses helped it post a profit after reporting a loss a year ago. The company is also raising its dividend 13 percent to an annual rate of 85 cents per share and increasing its stock repurchase plan. Time Warner has been slimming down, shedding both AOL and Time Warner Cable in the past year to focus on creative content rather than the businesses that deliver it to customers.

In this Dec. 22, 2009 photo, holiday shoppers carry their bags as they leave Abercrombie & Fitch in New York.

Retail sales expected to rise NEW YORK (AP) — Retailers elated by stronger-than-expected holiday sales are expected to report today that they saw an unintended consequence in January: sales up only 1 percent from last year by one measure. Stores ordered so conservatively for the holidays that they ended December with relatively little excess inventory — and less than usual to mark down in January. As a result, some stores

pushed up deliveries of spring items from jumpsuits to sandals. But bargains were all that most consumers wanted. “During the Christmas season, they rewarded themselves,” said Stifel Nicolaus & Co. analyst Richard Jaffe. By last month, Jaffe says, shoppers were “hunkering down” again and didn’t buy much of that regularprice spring stock. Michael Niemira, chief economist at The International Council of Shop-

ping Centers, predicts retail chains reporting Thursday on their sales at stores open more than a year will show a 1 percent rise in January. The figure — which Niemira estimates rose 3.6 percent for December, compared with December 2008 — is considered a key indicator of retailers’ health. His calculation excludes Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world’s largest retailer, however, because Wal-Mart no longer reports its monthly sales.

Oil rises above $77 on demand hopes NEW YORK (AP) — Crude prices continued to rise Wednesday on expectations of growing global demand, even though U.S. oil stockpiles grew last week. American petroleum consumption has been falling since 2007, and a government report said the country has been using less every week for the past month. Benchmark oil for March delivery added 22 cents at $77.45 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Stocks slip as growth in services falls short NEW YORK (AP) โ A disappointing report on services industries halted a two-day advance in the stock market. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 26 points Wednesday after jumping a total of 230 points in the first two days of the week. The broader Standard & Poorโ s 500 index posted a steeper drop, while the Nasdaq composite index was little changed. The report on services businesses, which make

up the biggest slice of the U.S. economy, reminded investors that a recovery will be slow. The Institute for Supply Management said its index of service activity rose to 50.5 in January from a revised 49.8 in December. The January reading was below the level of 51 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had been expecting. Any number above 50 signals growth. The weaker activity in service companies chilled

enthusiasm about a report that private employers cut fewer jobs than expected last month. The news on jobs from ADP, a payroll company, comes ahead of the governmentโ s January employment re-

port on Friday, which is expected to show employers added 5,000 jobs in the first month of the year but that unemployment edged up to 10.1 percent from 10 percent. ADP said employers cut

22,000 non-farm, private jobs last month. That was the best showing since employment started to weaken in February 2008. The Dow fell 26.30, or 0.3 percent, to 10,270.55. The S&P 500 index fell 6.04,

or 0.6 percent, to 1,097.28, while the Nasdaq rose 0.85, or less than 0.1 percent, to 2,190.91. Three stocks fell for every two that rose on the New York Stock Exchange.
