HIGH POINT – Even though the Carolina Panthers didn’t make it to the NFL’s premier game, football fans filled local sports bars and restaurants Sunday to watch Super Bowl XLIV between the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts. On one of the busiest nights of the year for local restaurants, football fans began to arrive at Buffalo Wild Wings and Ham’s Restaurant on Samet Drive an hour before kickoff. By game time, both restaurants were packed, with more than a dozen people

The Saints rallied in the second half to notch an historic 31-17 victory. Wearing a Drew Brees jersey, Jamell Barbee Sr. of High Point made

no mistake about who he was pulling for – the Saints, who made their first Super Bowl appearance. “It’s simple,” Barbee predicted. “Saints are going to win 31-27. Drew Brees

will probably throw for 300 yards. I’d say 20-of-25. (Reggie) Bush will do his thing of course, rushing the ball. It’s going to be a very good game.” Joining Barbee at Ham’s Restaurant, Chris Viola,

a Philadelphia Eagles fan, was pulling for the Colts but said he just wanted “to see a good football game.” “I love the Super Bowl,” Viola said. “I always say,

Three days of events commemorate High Point sit-in BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Mary Lou Blakeney says an event that took place 50 years ago still has “tremendous meaning” because she was on the “ground floor of it all.” “The idea to just wrap your brain around the fact that something went on 50 years ago, and there are still many of us alive who participated in it,” Blakeney said. “It’s a half century. I had no clue that we would still be talking about it even this many years later.” On Feb. 11, 1960, Blakeney was one of about two dozen students from the all-black William Penn High School who staged a sit-in at the

whites-only lunch counters of the F.W. Woolworth store in downtown High Point. The event is believed to be the first sit-in by high school students in the nation. Ten days earlier, four black students from North Carolina A&T State University made national news when they staged a sit-in at the Woolworth in downtown Greensboro, which launched a movement to integrate segregated lunch counters. Last week, Gov. Beverly Perdue and the Rev. Jesse Jackson were on hand for a ribboncutting ceremony for the International Civil Rights Center and Museum, which commemorates Greensboro’s sit-in at the old Woolworth store on Feb. 1, 1960.

Mary Lou Blakeney, one of the original teenage sit-in participants, stands next to the memorial to the 1960 event. On the heels of Greensboro’s event, Blakeney, president of the Feb. 11 Association, hopes a three-day event this week will draw attention to High Point’s celebration of the 50th anniversary of its sit-in. “It’s our 50th anniversary, too,” she said. Sponsored by the Feb. 11 Association, Blakeney and others will kick off their celebration with a prayer vigil Thursday at noon, which will

be followed up later that day with the 50th Anniversary Commemoration Banquet. Addie Richburg, president of the National Alliance of Faith and Justice, will serve as the keynote speaker for the event, which will take place at the Showplace at 6 p.m. The Feb. 11 Association and Communities In Schools of High Point will hold the “Pen or Pencil M.O.V.E.ment” Friday, where Jeff Jackson will

provide a motivational speech at T.W. Andrews High School, Penn-Griffin School of the Arts and High Point Central. Jackson, CEO of Jeff’s Nation LLC, is an award-winning journalist, social activist and political commentator. The Feb. 11 Association will also host an “Old School Dance” at Carl Chavis YMCA Saturday night. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Recent crimes rattle thrift store BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – For years, a donation jar could be found near the front of Seven Homes Community Thrift Store’s Johnson Street location. It had been stolen a few times but still provided a revenue source for the small shop, whose proceeds go to Seven Homes, a private agency in High Point that places children with foster families and provides adoption services. Visitors to the shop won’t see the donation jar there any longer. Seven Homes personnel decided it made too tempting a target for thieves after a robber broke it open and took money from the store’s register one morning last month. Then, a few days ago, someone broke into the

The crimes have shaken up Seven Homes’ staff, but they say their greater worry is the impact the incidents may have on their foster care and adoption programs. They pride themselves on helping children who are the victims of abuse, neglect and abandonment. The organization recruits, trains and licenses foster families and places kids with them. It currently works with 20 families in five counties. “They’re not just robbing a thrift

store,” said Executive Director Ken Maxwell. “The person who robbed us left with around $100. That may not sound like much, but it is to us.” For example, that amount of money might provide transportation for foster children to attend family visits, medical appointments or recreational activities, according to Seven Homes. “Seven Homes Thrift Store is a minor victim. The real victims are the hundreds of children that won’t receive the help they desperately need,” said Chet Hodgin, a former Seven Homes board member. “I know that Ken spends almost every waking minute working to help children. Now we have one or two idiots doing untold damage by their senseless, stupid acts. The damage goes far

beyond breaking a window and stealing the computer.” Maxwell said he shudders to think about the hundreds of hours spent on his computer working on company business that he will have to replicate. When he walked into the store Feb. 1, he discovered that someone had broken in by tossing a potted plant through a side window and had ripped the electric meter off the building to knock out the power in an apparent attempt to neutralize an alarm system. The door was wide open and the computer was gone. “I’m hoping I get a phone call from the police or a pawn shop that it’s turned up somewhere,” Maxwell said. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

‘Before I die, I’m going to go to the Super Bowl.’ To me, it’s like the best thing once a year, for men at least.

NY court sniffs at ex-cop’s drugged-dinner claim NEW YORK (AP) – A former New York City counterterrorism detective who says he was unfairly fired as a result of a failed drug test he blamed on his wife’s marijuanaspiked meatballs has lost a court bid to get his job back. A state appeals court upheld Anthony Chio-

falo’s (chuh-FAH’-loh’s) dismissal Thursday. The 22-year veteran was suspended in 2005 after failing a random drug test and was fired in 2007. Catherine Chiofalo told police investigators she secretly substituted marijuana for oregano in meatballs, hoping a failed test would make

her husband leave police work. Anthony Chiofalo’s lawyer, Philip Karasyk (CAH’-rah-sihk), says he’s considering options for continuing the case. Police department lawyer Edward Hart says there was more marijuana in Chiofalo’s system than the meatballs could explain.

native, the game had special meaning because of what his hometown went through in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit. “Just seeing the impact of what this community was doing and how this team actually stayed in there to really support the community throughout the Katrina deal, it’s just phenomenal to me,” Holmes said. “I’m a hometown guy no matter what. The Saints have always been one that they always want to make sure that they stay and make sure they support their community. Just to see them in a championship run after all the work they have done over the past few years is great.”

BOTTOM LINE

ACCURACY

FAYETTEVILLE – A Fort Bragg paratrooper was killed Friday when his unit was attacked while on patrol in western Afghanistan, the Defense Department said Saturday. Sgt. Dillon B. Foxx, 22, of Traverse City, Mich., died in Badghis province. He was a forward observer with the 1st Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team of the 82nd Airborne Division. Foxx died when an improvised explosive device detonated while his unit was patrolling the Murghab District, according to a news release from the 82nd Airborne Division. “He will be missed by

everyone that knew him,” said Staff Sgt. Matthew Fitzgerald, Foxx’s squad leader. “He was always the first person I would come to for help to get things done. He made my job easy, knowing that I could count on him to get the job done. ”I know that he made a difference in my life, and I will try to live my life to the fullest for him,“ Fitzgerald said. Foxx enlisted in the Army in May 2006 at the age of 18. He attended One Station Unit Training at Fort Sill, Okla., and Basic Airborne School at Fort Benning, Ga. When he finished his training, Foxx reported to Fort Bragg, where he was assigned to the 1st Battalion of the 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment.

Unfortunately, the word “retarded” has become synonymous with “really stupid” in today’s lexicon, which carries over into the ways people view individuals with intellectual disabilities. “Different” should never mean “less” in a society that values diversity.

Toyota America stated they’d not heard one story of any kind of accident caused by this mysterious problem that will be fixed at the company’s dealerships. Now we have people in Washington telling owners of the affected vehicles to “put away your keys” and not drive the cars, hinting even at deeper computer problems. All of this is unprecedented, but until this Acorn administration came into power, the United States did not have a financial stake in the success of international car sales. Being a major owner of General Motors, the government appears to have decided to use its power to cause turmoil in the successful Japanese auto market, attempting to send them into a tailspin while raising the sales of its own bailedout brands. Before, the government won regardless what nationality of auto you purchased because of taxes. But today, the stakes are higher because the government is actually in a position to regulate an industry in which it now competes. Something is rotten in Denmark. And in the USA. RANDALL M.

Black men fought for ideals that excluded them

t is the enduring paradox of our centuries here. It is the paradox that stood its ground at Bunker Hill, paradox that made a doomed charge on Fort Wagner, paradox that stormed San Juan Hill, advanced through the Meuse-Argonne, landed on Iwo Jima, liberated Seoul and was taken prisoner in Hanoi. It is the paradox: black men, will you defend America? Leave skin and blood in foreign lands fighting for ideals that do not include you? Ideals like, We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. And, One man, one vote. And, Liberty and justice for all. That paradox suffuses “For Love of Liberty,” a moving new documentary airing this month – Black History Month – on PBS. The program is a valuable compendium of black military history. Through narration and dramatic readings, a host of prominent actors – Halle Berry, Avery Brooks, Ice-T, John Goodman, Robert Duvall, Charles S. Dutton, LeVar Burton, Louis Gossett Jr., Susan Sarandon, Mel Gibson, Bill

Cosby and many more – recreate the often incomprehensible bravery of black men and women who answered when their country called. OPINION We get the runaway slave Crispus Leonard Attucks becoming Pitts the first person to ■■■ die for American independence, and 5-foot-4 130-pound Pvt. Henry Johnson single-handedly driving off two dozen German attackers. We get Staff Sgt. Ruben Rivers, broken bone poking through his skin, refusing to be evacuated, refusing morphine, and leading his men against the Nazis in a battle that took his life. We get Pvt. Milton Olive throwing himself on a grenade in Vietnam. We get tombstones, reminding us that freedom bears a price. But over, amid and above all that, we get the paradox. One story paints the picture: It seems that during the Second World War, a group of nine African-American Marines in full uniform were traveling by train

through Louisiana. They were denied service in the dining area of a local cafe, given sandwiches and sent to eat them in a room off the kitchen. As they ate, the men watched through the window as German prisoners of war and the white soldiers guarding them entered the same dining area to be seated and served. As one of the black men asked in a letter to a military magazine: “What is the Negro soldier fighting for? On whose team are we playing? I stood outside looking in, but could not help to ask myself these questions. Are these men sworn enemies of this country? Are we not American soldiers sworn to fight and die, if need be, for this, our country? Then why are the Germans treated better than we are?” From time to time in this country, one hears people – sometimes implicitly, sometimes explicitly – question the patriotism, the “American-ness” of AfricanAmerican people. We heard this most recently during the racially charged campaign of 2008 when some said Michelle and Barack Obama and, by extension, those of us who look like them, were insuf-

ficient in their love of country, lacking in fealty to its highest ideals. It is always ... enlightening to be lectured on love of country by those whose heritage includes no paradox. One hopes a few of them will chance upon this program. One hopes they will see the stories of valor, linger upon the tombstones, watch American Marines denied seating at a table to which even Nazis are welcome, and marvel at the sheer love of country this bespeaks. Not love for the country as it is, but love for what it could someday be. One hopes they will understand how much such love it takes to defy the paradox. Black men, it asks, will you defend America? Leave skin and blood in foreign lands fighting for ideals that do not include you? And always, the answer has been the same. Yes.

Follow the trail New report tracks Guilford County Schools’ statistics BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Why doesn’t the county school district spend the same amount of money on every student? What is the ethnic background of teachers in the schools? The answers for those questions and more can be found in a new statistical report that offers a portrait of the 72,000-student system. The report, released in late January, is based on 2008-09 data to provide baselines for the district’s strategic plan. The Guilford County

AT A GLANCE

–

Teachers: Of the 5,100 district teachers, 71.2 percent are white, 28.8 percent are minorities. Overall 31 percent have advanced degrees, and 20 percent have 20 years or more of experience. Reports: The district will post the statistical report on the GCS Web site for the public viewing. School principals reviewed the information Dec. 16. School report cards also are available online at miscprod.gcsnc. com/schoolreports/reportcardstats.aspx.

Board of Education moves money to meet student needs. Students who come from poverty or who are English language learners or who have special needs require more attention. Just about half of the students receive free or reduced-price lunches, while 13.3 percent qualify for special education services. An estimated 16 percent are advanced learners

who also require additional services. The district spends $6,900 for each elementary and high school student, $6,400 for each middleschool student and nearly $22,000 each for student at alternative and special schools. Expenditures at high-poverty schools can top $12,000 per student. The $590 million district budget is supported

by state, federal and local revenues. Money from local taxpayers often goes to enhance state and federal allocations. Overall, $229 million went to elementary schools, $105 million to middle schools, $148 million to high schools and $18 million to alternative schools for 800 students. The report excited school board member Garth Hebert, a High Point accountant. “This takes any idea of transparency and openness to a new level,” Hebert said. “It tells you phenomenal things about where we put our priorities and what we are willing to spend to help kids who come from troubled families.” For the district, spending per student is $7,000, near the state mark of $7,800. The state has a national

rank of 44th, according to Education Week magazine. That mark puts the state in the D grade range, Board Chairman Alan Duncan said last week. California and Texas rank below North Carolina. Topranking Vermont spends $15,000 per student. The national average is $9,900 based on 2009 enrollments. The numbers show that educators are required to do “more with less,” Duncan said. “We can’t look at this local information and not consider the state information,” Duncan said. “North Carolina has not made K-12 education a priority. If you look at how the money is spent, it has not been established as a priority. We are not where we need to be if we value our children.”

HIGH POINT – Who would be so brazen as to rob a thrift store? Seven Homes staff members have been grappling with that question since Jan. 2, when an assailant forced a volunteer who was manning the store that day to the back of the building, tied her up and made off with a small amount of money. “It’s stressful. I’m on pins and needles,” said Seven Homes Manager Shirley Maxwell. “Any given day, you

Since the robbery, the staff has removed its donation jar and each

night leaves the store’s empty cash register drawer open, showing would-be thieves who peer through the window that there is nothing to be gained by breaking in. They’re also investing in a security system. “That’s money I would love to spend somewhere else,” said Executive Director Ken

HIGH POINT – Students and school staff returning to Oak View Elementary this week may feel a chill in the air. Parts of the building in northeast High Point have been cold recently, and school leaders are waiting for repairs to the heating system, Principal Heather Bare said last week. “Maintenance is awaiting the arrival of parts,” Bare said. “When we have issues with cold classrooms, the teachers and I make a decision on whether the rooms are too cold. We do have extra classroom space, and in some cases, we have moved students to a warmer setting until the maintenance can get here to address our problem. Parents in those classrooms would be made aware of any issues by their classroom teachers.” Meanwhile, heating systems have been upgraded at several older High Point-area schools in the last year. Workers installed new boilers at Jamestown and Kirkman Park elementary schools last fall as part of upgrades funded through the $457 million 2008 voter-approved school construction bonds. The boilers at Jamestown and Kirkman Park were more than 20 years old. The projects, expected to total approximately $8 million, address improvements to existing heating, ventilation and airconditioning systems, including boiler and chiller replacements, air conditioning of some areas, control systems and miscellaneous equipment upgrades. Oak View was built in 1977, according to county records.

Forecasters seek coastal residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; help HATTERAS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Watermen enjoying steaming cups of coffee before dawn at Odenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dock had commented on how calm the Pamlico Sound looked that November morning. They noted that the water was exceptionally high. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone is sitting around saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;If we get any wind, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get a lot of tide,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; recounted Ernie Foster, captain of the Albatross Fleet. Foster, a commercial fisherman, said the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assessment at the onset of Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s storm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; later dubbed Norâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ida â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was spot on: The wind picked up, and the village had as much

as 18 inches of water in yards and streets for two days. But National Weather Service forecasters were surprised by the soundside flooding, just as they were two weeks later, when unpredicted soundside tide surged up to a foot on parts of the island. They had been hobbled by old data and limited weather models, said Brian Cullen, senior forecaster at the serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Newport/Morehead City office. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apparent that meteorologists will have to think outside their usual coastal flooding matrix, Cullen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is something that came up and bit us dur-

Rural residents find complying with bottle ban takes work MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

On Oct. 1, North Carolina became one of the first states in the Southeast to ban plastic bottles in landfills. The ban, passed by the General Assembly in 2005, was designed to reduce energy consumption, lower greenhouse-gas emissions, and give economic incentives to businesses that process the bottles into other materials. But the ban presents a challenge for some, especially those who live in rural or unincorporated areas. Chris Parrish found that out quickly. Parrish is the president of Rural Garbage Services Inc., which picks up

trash in eastern Forsyth County. People started calling him after the ban took effect, asking what to do with their bottles. Although Winston-Salem residents can toss their plastic bottles into a recycling bin and have them picked up by the city, that service isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available to people in rural areas. There are no curbside recycling programs in rural and unincorporated areas in the county. And when the state banned plastic bottles from landfills, no one mandated that recycling service be extended to those who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have it. In order to recycle their plastics, people in those areas would have to take them to one of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three recycling centers.

Parrish came up with a solution for his customers: His company would pick up the bottles from its customers for free. County officials are mulling a plan to require all garbage haulers that serve unincorporated areas to offer recycling, but it is still in the early stages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people never thought about recycling until they were told they had to,â&#x20AC;? said Minor Barnette, the environmental health supervisor for Forsyth County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now they know they have three places to go, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not happy that they have to go to the trouble. People started calling me, and they started calling their garbage haulers. Some of them were not real happy.â&#x20AC;?

Autopsy: Robbery victim died of heart failure MCCLACTHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

GREENSBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A 76year-old robbery victim, found dead inside his McLeansville home in December, most likely died from heart failure, according to an autopsy report released Friday. Charles H. Brown Sr., who was found on Dec. 16, is believed to have died from an acute lethal cardiac arrhythmia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; precipitated by being

tied up and assaulted -according to an autopsy released by the N.C. Medical Examinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. The Guilford County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office reported that there were signs of forced entry at Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home at 4922 Streamside Drive and that he was found dead inside an office at the back of the residence. Brown was a rare-coin collector, and a safe in his ransacked office was left standing open, according to members of the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

church, who found his body after going to check on him. The autopsy, signed by Dr. John D. Butts, states that Brown was found lying on his side. His ankles and wrists were tightly bound with pairs of black zip ties. The autopsy also notes multiple â&#x20AC;&#x153;rounded imprintsâ&#x20AC;? on his body consistent with coins. There was only minor bruising on the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body, and the medical examiner found no significant internal injuries.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to try to update this.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of us really like our vehicles,â&#x20AC;? Becky Marlin, a Frisco resident, told forecasters at a presentation last week in Hatteras. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be nice to be prepared better.â&#x20AC;? If islanders hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t called the weather service to tell them about the situation, they would

not have known about it, Cullen said â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which partly explains why he and forecaster Scott Kennedy came to Hatteras to talk with residents.

Thomasville reports 2 more sewer spills ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

THOMASVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The city of Thomasville reported on Sunday two wastewater spills totaling 52,460 gallons that occurred Friday. According to a Thomasville press release, wastewater from one of the spills came from the East Davidson Pump Station and spilled into South Hamby Creek in the Yadkin/

Pee Dee River Basin. That spill was an estimated 46,700 gallons of untreated wastewater. A second spill of an estimated 5,760 gallons came from a manhole on Concord Street and spilled into a tributary to North Hamby Creek in the Yadkin/Pee Dee River Basin. House Bill 1160, which the General Assembly enacted in July 1999,

requires that municipalities, animal operations, industries who operate waste handling systems issue news releases when a waste spill of 1,000 gallons or more reaches surface waters. The Division of Water Quality has been notified of the event and is reviewing the matter. For more information, contact the city at 4754220.

ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An emergence of gaming parlors in one eastern North Carolina city has officials mapping out a strategy about how to regulate them as lawmakers and state courts debate whether the businesses are legal. The Rocky Mount Telegram reports that the shops sell customers phone cards or Internet time that also allows them to play sweep-

stakes games â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mostly slots and card games. Customers can win prizes, more playing time or cash. There are seven such locations in Rocky Mount, and some bingo halls have also established the games. Rocky Mount City Council will consider imposing a moratorium on the socalled sweepstakes cafes on Monday. Planning Director Ann Wall said that will

allow officials time to craft regulations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of our concerns are dealing with hours of operation, how many of these should be open in the same area, and we have parking and traffic concerns,â&#x20AC;? Wall said. Rocky Mount would be following a statewide trend by implementing stringent local regulations on sweepstakes cafes.

Story of long-ago abuse causes family new pain

ear Abby: My parents divorced when I was 6, and my father remarried when I was 8. My father got custody of my brother and me. A year later, my half-sister was born and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when my stepmother began physically and mentally abusing me. My brother told family members about the abuse, but nothing was done. My father didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe us kids. The abuse finally ended when my grandparents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; saw the marks on my body and took me to an attorney. My mother got custody of me when I was 12. My half-sister, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Liz,â&#x20AC;? was only 4 when I left, so we were never close growing up. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m now in my early 40s. Last summer, while I was visiting family, I went shopping with Liz and her daughter. Tired of all the secrets, I told her the reason I left when she was little. It came as a shock to her because her mother had never abused her. Now my father and brother are mad at me for telling. My brother even told Liz it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t true to â&#x20AC;&#x153;protectâ&#x20AC;? her. Was I wrong for disclosing something that happened long ago? The memories are still fresh after all these years, and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it send a message to protect the abuser? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tired Of Secrets, Corona, Calif.

Dear Tired Of Secrets: What your stepmother did was disgraceful, but you ADVICE were wrong to try to exDear act revenge Abby through â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; her daughter. All it could do was cause your half- sister pain. As to your brother accusing you of lying after having revealed the truth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that was wrong, too, because it victimized you twice. Dear Abby: I am 25, and have been in a relationship with a wonderful man Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll call â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tomâ&#x20AC;? for a year. Tom is attentive, caring, funny, self-sufficient and comes from a great family. In short, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s everything a woman says she wants. So why do I still constantly look at other men? I always worry that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s someone bettersuited to me and that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just settling. Tom is definitely the best man Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever met, and he would make a wonderful husband and father one day. So, how do I learn to appreciate what I have instead of always seeking something better, which very well may not exist? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Wandering Eye In Buffalo, N.y. Dear Wandering Eye: Tom may be everything

a woman says she wants, but your intuition may be telling you that he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what YOU want. Ask yourself what quality Tom is lacking that causes you to constantly look at other men with an eye to trading up, because until you figure that out, you will never be satisfied. Dear Abby: I am a single woman who has recently started a career in local government. In my position, I am often invited to functions with federal, state and local officials. On more than one occasion, â&#x20AC;&#x153;royaltyâ&#x20AC;? has attended as well. At these events, I am often introduced to officials or dignitaries after I am already seated. Should I stand when introduced as the men do, or as a lady, should I remain seated? I have watched other women, including a few old â&#x20AC;&#x153;pros,â&#x20AC;? and the results are split. Can you please tell me what is proper and respectful in these situations? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Protocol-challenged In Indiana Dear Protocol-challenged: Standing when introduced is considered a sign of respect, so when in doubt, stand up. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

partment complexes are a series of connected homes that create fire safety concerns for firefighters and residents. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for residents to remember that their actions can have a huge effect on people who live in the same building, as well as nearby buildings. Apartment complexes are densely populated neighborhoods that make threats to life a big concern for firefighters. FIREHOUSE Fires can CHAT spread quickly Lee to other Knight apartâ&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; ments, increasing dangers residents face. The single most important thing you can do is make sure all smoke detectors work and have good batteries. Detectors should be located in outside hallways as well as inside apartments. Smoke detectors will give early notification of a fire that could allow the necessary time to escape. There are two important reasons for quick notification that a building is on fire. First, almost all apartments have only one exit if they are above the ground floor. Second, the stairways in many apartment complexes are built from wood that can quickly cut off escape if they start burning. Parking in apartment complexes is another concern. Fire hydrants are often blocked, and access to apartments can be extremely difficult. Apartment residents can do several things to protect themselves. If there is not a fire extinguisher in the common hallway area, make sure one is located in your apartment. Never use a grill on a deck. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dangerous and illegal. Grills should be used at a minimum of 10 feet from the building. Check with the landlord for requirements at your apartment complex. Do not block fire hydrants. Delay in establishing a water supply slows fire attack and endangers lives. Be cautious when smoking. Careless smoking is one of the leading causes of apartment fires. Have a home escape plan with two ways out. A rope ladder off the balcony would be a viable second escape route. Never use elevators during a fire. One may take you directly to the fire floor. For many, apartments are convenient and affordable places to live. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to learn fire safety so all can live safely in their home. 24/7/365: You call; we respond.

Hydrating stops eczema’s itch

ear Dr. Donohue: I have had to deal with eczema since I was a kid. The worst part of it is the itching. I try not to scratch, but during sleep I do it without waking. I have seen a number of doctors, but I cannot get rid of this awful curse. Are there any new ideas? – C.N.

BLONDIE

Eczema (EK-suh-muh or ek-ZEE-muh) has another name, atopic dermatitis. Dermatitis is skin inflammation, the basis of this condition. Until recently, eczema was linked to illnesses with an allergic basis, like asthma. A more-current explanation is that the skin of people with eczema doesn’t have the normal proteins in it that retain moisture. Their skin dries. Dry skin itches. Scratching provides a brief interlude of relief, but it aggravates matters. It thickens the skin, leads to infections and facilitates drying. If you must, keep gloves or mittens on your hands during sleep. Eczema frequently starts in childhood. Genes are definitely involved, even if no other family member has it. The places most often targeted are the hands, forearms, elbow crease, behind the knees and the neck. The goal of treatment is skin hydration. The house’s humidity should be between 40 percent and 60 percent. Don’t take long, hot baths or showers. Make them brief, and use tepid water. After bathing, blot yourself with a towel, and then apply moisturizing creams

while the skin is damp. Vaseline, which comes in creams, ointments HEALTH and lotions, is inexDr. Paul pensive Donohue and works. ■■■ Eucerin, Aquaphor, Nutraderm and Cetaphil are other products. Often, a cortisone cream or ointment must be used to calm the inflammation, and the stronger cortisone preparations, such as fluocinolone, triamcinolone and clobetasol, might be necessary. They’re prescription meds. If the skin is infected, it has to be addressed with wet compresses and antibiotics applied directly to it. The treatment of eczema isn’t a one-time affair. This is a chronic condition, one for which total eradication seldom is achieved. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have had a hoarse voice for a month. I gargle twice a day with various remedies I’ve found in drugstores, and I have also used saltwater for gargling. I rest my voice and whisper when I have to talk. My throat doesn’t hurt. What else can I do? – J.M. You can’t do much, other than what you have already tried. Most cases of laryngitis are caused by viruses, and last only for a week or two. Long-lasting laryngitis – hoarseness that continues for three or more

weeks – requires a doctor’s examination. Polyps of the vocal cords, spasms of the vocal cord muscles, reflux of stomach acid and cancers of the cords have to be considered as causing the problem. Stop whispering. Whispering is harder on the voice than normal speech. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am 16 and a girl. I’d like to know the difference between whiteheads and blackheads. I have both, and I have a few pimples. They look icky to me. How can I get rid of them? I don’t eat chocolate. – N.N. A skin pore filled with sebum (oil from oil glands) becomes either a whitehead or a blackhead. If the pore is closed and the impacted oil isn’t exposed to air, then a whitehead is born. If the end of the pore is open and the oil is exposed to air, the oil turns black – a blackhead. Oil production peaks during puberty. Either can progress into a pimple. You can treat them with acne medicines found in all drugstores. Ones with benzoyl peroxide are inexpensive and usually effective. Don’t scrub your face. Don’t squeeze the whiteheads or blackheads. You can rupture the skin pore, and the oil will be released into the tissues beneath the skin. This can cause even bigger troubles. Most experts don’t believe chocolate causes acne – whiteheads or blackheads.

Jimmy Meris holds Tinkerbell as he poses with his daughter, Lauren (holding Ramsey), and wife, Wendy. Bethany Medical Center is sponsoring a bone marrow drive Saturday to increase the number of donors on the national registry.

Waiting for a match Jimmy Meris needs a bone marrow transplant to live, and the time to locate a donor is running out BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

RINITY – Three days after celebrating his 25th wedding anniversary, Jimmy Meris came down with a lowgrade fever. Today, a mere three months later, the 48-year-old Trinity man has been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and is fighting a battle for his life – a battle in which his doctors’ most potent weapon, a bone marrow transplant, seems unlikely. “All of this medical jargon can be summed up in one sentence: Because of the nature of the beast, he’s been given a 10-percent chance of survival,” says Meris’ wife, Wendy. “And the only way to increase that

’Because of the nature of the beast, he’s been given a 10-percent chance of survival.’ Wendy Meris Jimmy’s wife 10-percent chance is a bone marrow transplant.” Unfortunately, none of Jimmy’s four siblings was found to be a strong enough match to donate marrow, nor did a match turn up on the Be The Match Registry operated by the National Marrow Donor Program. That’s why Bethany Medical Center, where Wendy works, is sponsoring a bone mar-

INTERESTED?

----

A bone marrow drive for the Be The Match Foundation will be held Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Bethany Medical Clinic, 3604 Peters Court. The drive is being held in hopes of finding a matching donor for Jimmy Meris, who has acute myeloid leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant. Potential donors must be between the ages of 18 and 60, be willing to donate to any patient in need, and meet the health guidelines. They

row drive Saturday – if not to find a match for Jimmy, then perhaps to find a match for some other patient who needs a bone marrow transplant. “We know the chances of finding a match for him at this event are one in a million, but we hope to add as many people as possible to the registry to give other people the opportunity to find a match,” explains Sara Liptrap, marketing director for Bethany Medical. Potential donors need only to show up, fill out a health history form and then have the inside of their cheeks swabbed to be added to the registry. There is no charge to join the registry, but potential donors may make financial contributions to the Be The Match Foundation if they desire to do so. “The odds (of finding a match for Jimmy) are pretty slim,” Wendy concedes, “but

should also bring along the names, addresses and phone numbers of two contacts, to help registry officials get in touch with the donor if necessary. There is no cost to participate in Saturday’s event. For more information about the marrow drive, call Sara Liptrap of Bethany Medical Center at 883-0029, Ext. 205. For more information about the Be The Match Foundation, visit www.marrow.org or contact Betsie at (919) 4148312 or bletterl@nmdp.org.

we’ll have that many more people on the registry who might be a match for someone else.” Jimmy’s struggle began Nov. 5, when he developed a low-grade fever. Within three days, his temperature was 103 degrees. When the fever did not respond to antibiotics, Jimmy’s doctor submitted a panel of blood work, which led to the leukemia diagnosis. A biopsy narrowed the diagnosis to acute myeloid leukemia, a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow. Less than two weeks after the fever developed, Jimmy found himself at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, where he spent more than a month undergoing chemotherapy treatment. He made it home in time for Christmas, but now he’s back at the hospital, battling an infection he got because the

chemo had compromised his immune system. “It’s been a rough ride,” Wendy says. “A simple little infection that you or I would fight off can put him in the hospital.” Meanwhile, Wendy and the couple’s daughter – Lauren, a junior at High Point University – know the ride will only get rougher if no match is found for Jimmy. He’s already died once – on Nov. 25, when he went into cardiac arrest before being revived – and Wendy knows she may lose her husband again. “I already know what the crushing pain is gonna be, because I stood in that room and felt it for 40 minutes (when Jimmy went into cardiac arrest),” she says softly. “That 40 minutes – just 40 minutes – felt like a lifetime. Now, I sit here, and Lauren sits here, and we know that without a match, we’re gonna experience that a whole lot sooner than we want to. It’s Jimmy’s hope that he’ll see (Lauren) graduate in a year – and he would love to see her children one day – but without a match, that’s not going to be reality.” Thus, the importance of Saturday’s bone marrow drive – even if it doesn’t turn up a match for Jimmy. “Somewhere in the United States, there’s another family going through exactly what we’re going through,” Wendy says. “And if one person who shows up at that bone marrow drive can take away the torment of waiting for the other shoe to drop, it’ll be worth it.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Monday, Feb. 8, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Seth Green, 36; Mary Steenburgen, 57; Robert Klein, 68; Ted Koppel, 70 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: The more you do to enhance your skills, the greater your ability to maneuver yourself into a better social and professional position. Don’t bend to pressure when it comes to your financial situation. An unusual direction may appear out of character but it will turn out well for you. Your numbers are 4, 6, 14, 19, 25, 33, 37 ARIES (March 21-April 19): A more youthful look will help you feel energetic and able to conquer whatever you face. You can take care of emotional issues by offering suggestions. Help will come from a very unusual source. Ignore what others say. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keep thoughts to yourself instead of provoking an argument with someone who will never see things your way. A money venture will be tempting. Think twice before you make a commitment. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Confusion will set in if you take on too much. You have to stay focused and refuse to let emotional matters stand in your way. Offering help impulsively will turn into a costly situation. Consider what is doable before you get started. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t stand still when you should be taking action and making a point. Put your fears behind you and step into whatever situation faces you with determination and the intent to win. Opportunities are present, so ready to reach your goals. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Good things are heading your way. An offer you cannot refuse is likely to surface. You will meet someone special if you get involved in a social activity or networking event. Your knowledge and experience will lead to an interesting new position. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Sort through any discrepancies you face and refrain from making any rash decisions. There’s a potential they will backfire and cost you emotionally and financially. Concentrate on your own likes and needs. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Focus on creative endeavors and networking with people who have similar interests. Love and romance are in the stars and should be your main concern during the evening hours. Mingle, if you are single or wine and dine the one you love, if you are in a relationship. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Check out your personal situation carefully and you will find ways to make improvements. Deception is apparent and can lead to emotional responses that will disrupt your home and family. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your emotions will get the better of you, causing costly, impulsive action. Do something creative or that will help to enhance your position within your community. An offer you cannot refuse is in the works. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Suspicion will mount, creating a problem with someone you have known for a long time. The more you divulge, the greater the response and help you will receive. An interesting conversation will lead to a couple of unexpected but beneficial changes. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): By putting forth your best effort you will impress those who don’t know you well and please the ones who do. An interesting proposition is heading your way. Be ready to make a move. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Stand your ground. There is no reason why you should bend to what someone else wants if it goes against everything you have worked so hard to achieve. Control the situation intelligently. ★★

“I’ve heard people say that bridge, unlike most card games, is interesting to play even when you’re dealt nothing,” Unlucky Louie told me. “The game has compensations for bad card-holders,” I said. “I’ll never be convinced of that,” Louie grumbled. Louie was East with one of his usual hands, and against four spades, West led three rounds of clubs. South didn’t want to ruff with an honor; he pitched his losing diamond. West then pondered and led a fourth club.

OVERRUFF Declarer ruffed with dummy’s eight, and Louie overruffed with the nine. South overruffed in turn with the jack, took the ace of trumps and the top hearts, and ruffed a heart. When East-West followed, South had the rest. “How can it be fun to play when your highest card is a nine?” Louie sighed. West found a winning defense, but Louie was so distressed by his “Yarborough” that he didn’t cooperate. Instead of overruffing dummy on the fourth club, Louie must pitch a heart. South must go down.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 10 H Q J 9 D K J 5 4 C A K J 6 5. You open one club, and your partner bids one spade. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: Expert opinion would be divided. Some would rebid two clubs, certainly a reasonable action. I’d rather have a sixth club for that bid and would try 1NT despite the singleton spade. A few players would have opened one diamond, planning to bid two clubs over a response of one spade. That sequence wouldn’t appeal to me. South dealer Neither side vulnerable

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

‘Dear John’ edges ‘Avatar’ for No. 1 AT THE BOX OFFICE LOS ANGELES (AP) – A sci-fi love story has given way to an earthbound romance at the box office, livening up typically slow times at theaters over Super Bowl weekend. Released by Sony’s Screen Gems banner, “Dear John” debuted as the No. 1 movie with $32.4 million, knocking off “Avatar” after seven weekends in first place, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Avatar” slipped to No. 2 with $23.6 million, raising its domestic total to $630.1 million. Directed by James Cameron, 20th Century Fox’s “Avatar” surpassed his own “Titanic,” which had held the domestic revenue record at $600.8 million. With a record $2.2 billion worldwide, “Avatar” also has soared past the $1.8 billion “Titanic” took in globally.

WHO’S NEWS

New Orleans Saints cornerback Tracy Porter (22) reacts after scoring on a 74-yard interception return late in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLIV in Miami on Sunday night. Porter’s touchdown helped seal the Saints’ 31-17 upset of the Indianapolis Colts.

Saints go marching in! MIAMI, Fla. (AP) – Who Dat won the Super Bowl? The New Orleans Saints, that’s who. Ain’t kidding. Put away those paper bags forever: Drew Brees and the Saints are NFL champions, rallying to upset Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 Sunday night in one of pro football’s most thrilling title games. Brees tied a Super Bowl record with 32 completions, the last a AP 2-yard slant to Jeremy Shockey for the winning points with 5:42 Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees holds remaining. The Pro Bowl quar- the Vince Lombardi Trophy after terback was chosen Super Bowl the Saints victory on Sunday night. MVP. “We just believed in ourselves cornerback raced by.

Who would have “What can I say? I tried to imag- thought the biggest mistake of ine what this moment would be the game would have come from like for a long time and it’s better Manning? “It’s time for the Saints to celthan expected.” A surprise onside kick sparked ebrate,” he said. “It’s their field the Saints’ second-half comeback. and it’s their championship.” An NFL embarrassment for Their 25th-ranked defense made several key stops, and Tracy Por- much of their 43 years, the Saints’ ter’s 74-yard interception return football renaissance, led by Brees on a pass from Manning, of all and coach Sean Payton, climaxed with Shockey’s touchdown and people, clinched it. Manning gave futile chase, but Lance Moore’s 2-point conversion was blocked by a New Orleans de- catch. The conversion pass origifender and fell awkwardly as the nally was ruled incomplete, but

Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning hangs his head after throwing an interception that was returned for a touchdown late in Sunday’s 31-17 loss to the Saints. Payton challenged the call and won. Porter’s pick, just as dramatic as his interception of Brett Favre’s pass to force overtime in the NFC title game, was the game’s only turnover. It’s one Manning will forever regret. The Saints (16-3) won three postseason games this winter after winning only two in the previous 42 years. They beat Arizona, Minnesota and Indianapolis (16-

3) – all division winners – for their first title, scoring 107 points and allowing only 59. The championship came 41⁄2 years after Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans, making the Saints nomads for the 2005 season. There even was some doubt they would return, but the NFL refused to abandon the Big Easy. The Superdome was rebuilt and the Saints won the NFC South in ’06, their first season with Brees and Payton. That was the season Manning won his only Super Bowl. He had the Colts, favored by 5 points, in front for much of this one, but New Orleans’ league-leading offense, which scored 510 points this season, outscored Indy 31-7 after falling behind 10-0. That matched the biggest comeback in a Super Bowl. Before many of the 74,059 fans got settled following the Who’s halftime show, the Saints worked a little voodoo. Garrett Hartley’s onside kick was touched by the Colts’ Hank Baskett, then recovered by Chris Reis at the New Orleans 42. The Saints seized the opportunity to take their first lead. It came on Pierre Thomas’ brilliant 16-yard run with a screen pass, capped by a dive into the end zone. That set the tone for the rest of the game.

RADFORD, Va. – Nick Barbour and Eugene Harris each scored 19 points, but High Point University couldn’t overcome a second-half scoring drought and took a 77-63 loss to Radford on Sunday afternoon at the Dedmon Center.

HIT AND RUN

n most years, sports fans endure a slight February thaw in the action. The Super Bowl and the Daytona 500 dominate the first two weeks of the month. Of course, college basketball action stays hot throughout the second month of the year and leads us to March Madness. Still, the end of the NFL season as well as the checkered flag at The Great American Race typically signal a sporting lull. Not this year.

We have The Winter Olympics in Vancouver to warm our hearts and fill our viewing needs from the opening ceremonies on Friday through the closing ceremonies on Feb. 28. While I freely admit I’ve never luged or bobsledded or speed skated or snow skied or played hockey, I love watching all of these sports. Toss in ski jumping, curling, biathlon, Nordic combined and the other winter medal

sports, and you’ve got a winning combination. I must say, however, that I’m still lukewarm on the extreme “X Game” sports. These guys and gals are athletically gifted and brave as can be. I’m just not a part of the “X Game” generation. But I wish all of the athletes the best of luck and I can’t wait until the Games begin!

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

Russ Grimm wasn’t sure when, if ever, he’d make to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but he said his selection Saturday made it “the greatest day of my life.” The Arizona Cardinals assistant head coach and offensive line coach was honored for his 11 seasons as guard on the Washington Redskins’ famed Hogs offensive line. He appeared in four Super Bowls. Grimm said he doesn’t believe it’s sunk in yet that he has finally made it to the Hall of Fame after falling short as a finalist for several years. After all those near misses, he stopped worrying about something he knew he couldn’t control. Grimm said he had stopped counting on making it in. “You start thinking, ‘Well, I’m getting up there, I’m only going to be eligible for another couple of years, then I’m going to go over to the seniors.’ Sometimes I just sit there and not even worry about it. I was just thinking, ‘Well, it will happen post-mortem.’”

Sharks acquire Wallin from Hurricanes SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — The San Jose Sharks have bolstered their defense by acquiring Niclas Wallin in a trade with the Carolina Hurricanes. San Jose also acquired a fifth-round pick and sent a second rounder to Carolina to complete Sunday’s deal. The Sharks had been shuttling defensemen back and forth from Worcester of the AHL for much of the season. General manager Doug Wilson says he hopes Wallin’s playoff experience from winning the Stanley Cup in 2006 with Carolina will benefit the Sharks. San Jose leads the Western Conference with 85 points. The Sharks won the Presidents’ Trophy for the best regular-season record in the league a year ago before being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by Anaheim.

FSU women rout Wake THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Chasity Clayton had 16 points and 10 rebounds to lead No. 15 Florida State to an 83-38 rout of Wake Forest on Sunday. The Seminoles (20-4, 6-2 ACC) held the Demon Deacons (14-9, 5-4 ACC) to 21.8 percent shooting, the 13th time this season they held an opponent to under 35 percent from the floor. Florida State opened the game on a 10-2 run, holding the Demon Deacons to just one basket in their first 10 attempts. Wake Forest made just five baskets in the first half and trailed 36-15 at the break. The Seminoles led by as many as 45, hitting four of their first five 3-pointers and six of 10 overall. Jacinta Monroe added 15 points for FSU, while Brittany Waters led Wake Forest with 15 points.

(1) CONNECTICUT 84, LOUISVILLE 38 LOUISVILLE, Ky. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tina Charles had 20 points and nine rebounds as top-ranked Connecticut breezed by Louisville 84-38 Sunday in a rematch of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national championship game. The victory was UConnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 62nd in a row, extending the second-longest streak ever in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NCAA Division I, trailing only the 2001-03 Huskiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mark of 70 straight. Keshia Hines led Louisville with nine points.

MISSISSIPPI 102, (19) LSU 101 (3 OT) BATON ROUGE, La. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kayla Hollowayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s layup with 11 seconds left in the third overtime lifted Mississippi to a wild win over LSU. The Rebels (15-8, 6-4 Southeastern Conference) won in Baton Rouge for the first time since 1994. In addition, Ole Miss won two games in a single season against the Lady Tigers for the first time since 1985. After the layup, Mississippi fouled Katherine Graham with five seconds left. She made the first free throw, but missed the second causing a wild scramble for the ball. It ended up in Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands, but she missed a potential game-winning shot at the buzzer. Bianca Thomas led Ole Miss with 29 points. Elizabeth Robertson, who made a career-high seven 3pointers, added a career-high 25 points.

Marylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landon Milbourne dunks in front of North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marcus Ginyard during the second half of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ACC game in snowy College Park, Md. The Terps sprinted away from the Tar Heels for a 92-71 victory.

Terps trample Tar Heels COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Maryland coach Gary Williams was overcome by emotion, leaving him virtually unable to describe his feelings after watching the Terrapins dismantle North Carolina on an anything-but-typical game day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We handled a difficult situation and were able to do a good job,â&#x20AC;? Williams told the crowd Sunday after Maryland beat the skidding Tar Heels 92-71. A blizzard that dropped nearly two feet of snow in the area forced the Terrapins to alter their standard schedule and made fans scramble to get to the arena. Yet everything went smoothly against the defending NCAA champions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get proud of the guys when they make the effort in a little different situation,â&#x20AC;? Williams said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I think we did that today.â&#x20AC;? Greivis Vasquez had 26 points and 11 assists for Maryland (16-6, 6-2), which solidified its hold on second place in the Atlantic Coast Conference with its sixth win in seven games. Eric Hayes scored 16 for the Terrapins, who never trailed after taking a 7-6 lead. Marcus Ginyard led North Carolina (13-10, 2-6) with 17 points, Deon Thompson had 16, and Ed Davis had 10 points and 16 rebounds. It was

the sixth loss in seven games for the Tar Heels, their worst streak since 2002. North Carolina is 10th in the ACC, a half-game out of last place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 21 years as a head coach Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been in this spot,â&#x20AC;? Tar Heels coach Roy Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somewhere, somehow, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to help the kids get out of it. But 2-6 is not comfortable. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not good.â&#x20AC;? The game was a sellout, but the snow kept hundreds of seasonticket holders away. In an effort to fill the arena, the school allowed Maryland students without tickets to enter. The students did their part, making more than enough noise to help the Terrapins improve to 11-1 at home this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was amazing,â&#x20AC;? Gary Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So many people here at Maryland worked to get the parking lots cleared, did all that so people could come in. I talked to some people just briefly. They were coming. If they had to take a dogsled, they were coming to the game, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great feeling. It really is.â&#x20AC;? Maryland has won four of its last five games against the Tar Heels, including last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memorable 8885 overtime thriller. This one was decidedly different. Down by 13 early in the second half, North Carolina used a 14-4

run to close to 54-51. It was 58-54 before Dino Gregory scored on a follow, Hayes drilled a 3-pointer and Vasquez added a layup and a trey for a 14-point cushion with 10:51 left. That took the fight out of the Tar Heels, who went quietly in their sixth double-digit loss of the season. It was North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most lopsided loss to Maryland since a 40-point blowout in 2003. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To say that we are struggling would be the biggest understatement of my entire life,â&#x20AC;? Roy Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it makes no difference. Nobody is going to feel sorry for us, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure, and they shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best shots, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d best start playing better.â&#x20AC;? The most lamentable aspect of the Tar Heelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; game was their defense. Maryland shot 52 percent for the game and made 19 of 32 shots in the second half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was about as disappointing as it gets,â&#x20AC;? Ginyard said. Vasquez had 14 points and six assists in the first half, and the Terrapins made nine 3-pointers in taking a 44-34 lead. Marylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landon Milbourne finished with 15 points to become the 42nd player in school history to reach 1,000 in his career.

Orange, Buckeyes keep rolling THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CINCINNATI â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kris Joseph hit a pair of 3s that sparked Syracuseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decisive second-half run Sunday, and the Orange kept the best start in school history going with a 71-54 victory over Cincinnati, their 10th in a row. Syracuse (23-1, 10-1 Big East) closed the game with a 28-5 run that featured Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two 3-pointers and a lot of good defense. Andy Rautins led the Orange with 20 points.

The Bearcats (14-9, 5-6) fell apart down the stretch, getting only one field goal and three free throws after pulling ahead 49-43 with 12:26 to go.

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The pool water may have felt a bit colder and the blowing sand may have stung a bit harder Sunday for High Point Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team. Losses have a way of ruining good days â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even those spent at the beach. The Panthers continue their â&#x20AC;&#x153;beach swingâ&#x20AC;? tonight at 7 against Charleston Southern, two days removed from a 67-60 loss at Coastal Carolina and one day after having a down day at Myrtle Beach. HPU stayed at a beach-front hotel Sunday and planned to leave on the two-hour drive to Charleston this afternoon. The team bus heads straight home after tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rates here are better than the rates anywhere â&#x20AC;&#x201C; down time,â&#x20AC;? Panthers coach Tooey Loy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheaper to stay in Myrtle Beach right now than it is to stay in Clinton, S.C. (home of Presbyterian).â&#x20AC;? On tap for the women Sunday was a practice on Coastalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home court and then plenty of free time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get in the indoor pool, walk the beach, explore the area in groups,â&#x20AC;? the coach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun day for them to bond.â&#x20AC;? Some commiseration also may have taken place after the Panthers fell further behind in the Big South championship chase. HPUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second straight league loss left the Panthers at 13-9 overall and 6-3 in the conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just need to regroup,â&#x20AC;? Loy said after his team fell behind Coastal by double digits early and failed to complete a comeback. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have got to make sure we are ready to go and that we play 40 good minutes of basketball. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let this linger. We have to put it behind us and move on and play a good basketball game (today).â&#x20AC;? In Charleston Southern, the Panthers face a squad that can be deadly from the 3-point line. In Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 90-87 win over UNC Asheville, six players scored in double figures for the Bucs (12-10, 45). Katie Tull and Tina DeCarvalho each scored 14 points and hit four 3-pointers as CSU finished 10for-21 from long range. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of the top two, three teams in the country in 3s made and attempted,â&#x20AC;? Loy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to really defend the 3-point line against them.â&#x20AC;? In the teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first meeting this season, Charleston Southern shot 4-for-21 from long range â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a stat that went a long way in explaining High Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6856 win in the league opener for both teams. The Panthers return to the Millis Center on Saturday at 2 p.m. to face Gardner-Webb.

Harvick survives wild Shootout at Daytona

JR Motorsports mulls Danica decision AP

Kevin Harvick celebrates after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Budweiser Shootout at Daytona International Speedway late Saturday night. It marked the second straight year Harvick captured this event. things that can happen between now and the Feb. 14 race. There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much in Harvickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way once the race began Saturday night. Although no one could touch pole-sitter Carl Edwards in the first 25-lap segment, Harvick clearly had a strong car and told his team during the break that if he could get out front, no one would catch him. He was right, too. But Michael Waltripâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accident with five laps left brought out a caution that forced a change of strategy. Harvick wanted to pit, but lost the lead when Biffle and Kasey Kahne decided to stay on the track. Harvick led most of

the 24-car field down pit road, took two tires, and restarted in fourth for the two-lap sprint to the end. He quickly pulled out of line to dive underneath Biffle and claim the lead. He was pulling away when Jeff Gordon rammed into the back of Biffle, triggering an eight-car accident behind the leader. NASCAR waited several moments before calling caution, presumably to see if the wreckage cleared and the race could end under green. Instead, Harvick passed under the yellow flag and won under caution. Kahne finished second and Jamie McMurray was third. Kyle Busch finished fourth, followed by Denny Hamlin, Brian Vickers and Joey Logano.

Jimenez beats Westwood in Dubai playoff THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Miguel Angel Jimenez defeated Lee Westwood on the third hole of a sudden death playoff Sunday to win the Dubai Desert Classic. Westwood missed a 5-foot par putt on the third playoff hole to leave Ji-

menez with a 4-footer for the win, which he calmly sank for the 16th victory of his career. Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand and Alvaro Quiros or Spain were also tied for the overnight lead but faded in the final round. Thongchai shot a 73 to finish third, while Quiros ended up in a tie for sixth after a 75.

Tom Watson shot a 68 to climb to a share of eighth place.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Danica Patrick is expected to announce today if she will enter the Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway. JR Motorsports has said it will be up to Patrick to decide if she wants to make her NASCAR debut in the Feb. 13 second-tier series race at Daytona, and she wanted to wait until after her stock car debut to make a final decision. After she rallied from a midrace spin in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ARCA race at Daytona to finish sixth, the buzz has been growing that Patrick will indeed enter the Nationwide race. Tony Eury Jr., her crew chief and part of the ownership group at JR Motorsports, said he would speak to Patrick on Sunday to make a decision.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kevin Harvick started Speedweeks in bed, started the Budweiser Shootout in a backup car and started the final few laps out of the lead. After all that, he ended up in Victory Lane. Again. Harvick won the exhibition race for the second consecutive year by moving from fourth to first and passing leader Greg Biffle with two laps remaining in Saturday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kickoff race to Speedweeks. Biffleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wreck moments later ended the race under caution, giving Harvick his first win since the Shootout victory a year ago. He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won a points race since the 2007 seasonopening Daytona 500, and was not ready to proclaim his Shootout victory a precursor for a possible repeat in next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know we started last year the same way,â&#x20AC;? he said of the 2009 Shootout win â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the lone bright spot in an otherwise abysmal season for Harvick and all of Richard Childress Racing. And, the way he started Speedweeks was a reminder of just how topsyturvy the 11 days in Daytona can be. He was battling the flu and too ill to travel to Daytona on Thursday for Shootout practice, so teammate Clint Bowyer drove the Chevrolet in the first session. Then it was marred by a seven-car accident that destroyed the No. 29, forcing RCR to pull out its backup car. Jeff Burton practiced that for Harvick, who was able to get to Daytona in time for Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 practice. That got rained out after just two laps. So Harvick was all too aware of the bizarre

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Even with a big lead, Steve Stricker expected a tough day. Everyone else expected him to win. Turns out both sides were right. Stricker watched a six-shot lead slip to two after just five holes Sunday at Riviera before he steadied himself and closed with a 1-under 70 for a two-shot victory over Luke Donald in the Northern Trust Open. His fourth PGA Tour victory in his last 15 starts moved him up to No. 2 in the world ranking. Stricker won for the eighth time in his career, and once again welled up with tears after the victory. This time, all it took was a reminder of where he was four years ago, when he lost his PGA Tour card. Stricker didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it easy on himself, having to grind for pars as Donald kept pouring in birdies. But after Donald missed two short birdie attempts, Stricker fired off two straight birdies to restore a comfortable margin. He finished at 16-under 268 and earned $1.152 million to go over $25 million for his career. Donald made birdie on the 17th to again trim the lead to two shots, but that was as close as he ever got. He closed with a 66. Dustin Johnson had a 66 and J.B. Holmes made a late surge for a 67 to tie for third.

The evolution of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. may be shaped in large part by how well it can live down – and learn from – its past. Reynolds received another clear example of that reality last week when the Food and Drug Administration requested research on the company’s three innovative dissolvable smokeless products – Camel Orbs, Camel Sticks and Camel Strips – and others being considered.

Toyota: Plan for Prius fix coming ‘soon’ TOKYO (AP) – Toyota said Sunday that it will soon announce plans to deal with braking problems in its prized Prius hybrid amid reports it has decided to issue a recall for the vehicle in Japan, a possible new embarrassment for the world’s biggest automaker. Toyota Motor Corp. has already had to recall more than 7 million other cars in the U.S., Europe and China over a sticky accelerator and floor mats that can get caught in the gas pedal. Those problems and criticism of Toyota’s response to them have sullied the stellar reputation for quality long enjoyed by one of Japan’s corporate icons. Separately, the company has told dealers in the United States it is preparing to repair the brakes on thousands of Prius vehicles there, according to an e-mail sent by a company executive. It was unclear whether Toyota planned a formal U.S. recall. “We will make an announcement soon on the action we plan to take,” spokeswoman Ririko Takeuchi said, commenting on media reports Sunday that the company has decided to issue a Japan recall. Takeuchi did not confirm those reports. The Prius is the world’s top-selling gas-electric hybrid. Prius drivers in Japan and the U.S. have complained of a short delay before the brakes kick in – a flaw Toyota says can be fixed with a software programming change. The brake problem affects about 270,000 Priuses that were sold in the U.S. and Japan starting last May.

finely milled tobacco products serve as an alternative to cigarettes, giving adults a discreet option in venues where smoking is banned out of concern for secondhand smoke exposure. They are being sold in three test markets, none in North Carolina. The FDA acknowledges that Reynolds is marketing the products to adult consumers. “The center is concerned that children and adolescents may find dissolvable tobacco products particularly appealing, given the brightly colored packaging, candy-like appearance and easily concealable size of many of these products,” Dr. Lawrence Deyton, the director of the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products, wrote in a letter.

The letter was sent to Reynolds and Star Scientific, another producer of smokeless products containing nicotine. In connection with the dissolvable products, tobacco critics have raised the vision of Joe Camel, the iconic cartoon image that sharply raised Camel’s brand profile in the 1980s and 1990s. Joe Camel eventually fell victim to the increasingly public war over how cigarettes are marketed, particularly when it comes to images that might appeal to young consumers. However, a federal judge ruled on Jan. 5 that tobacco manufacturers can continue to use color and graphics in marketing their products. Judge Joseph McKinley Jr. of U.S. District Court for

the Western District of Kentucky also ruled that manufacturers can claim a product is safer if it gains FDA approval. The tobacco-products center wants the companies to turn over by April 1 all information related to how people ages 25 and under may perceive the dissolvable products. “We are also concerned about the extent to which the high nicotine content and rapid dissolution of dissolvable tobacco products may facilitate initiation of tobacco use, nicotine dependence and addiction in adolescents, and may serve as a mechanism for inadvertent toxicity in children,” Deyton said. David Howard, a spokesman

Investors see threats on all sides NEW YORK (AP) – The threats seem to be coming from all directions. Jittery stock traders react to each day’s news as if it could be the start of Financial Crisis 2.0. On Thursday, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index suffered its biggest one-day drop in more than nine months because of worries about debt problems in Greece, Portugal and Spain. Concerns about China’s plans to limit economic growth and proposed regulatory bank changes from Washington also have pummeled the market. The fears aren’t as intense as in 2008, when the S&P 500 fell 38.5 percent. But January was the worst month for the market since it began its recovery last March. And the S&P 500 has fallen 7.3 percent from the high of 1,150.23 it reached Jan. 19. It’s not as if something devastating has happened, either in Europe, where economies have been struggling for some

time, or in Washington. It was expected that the Obama administration would try to restrict big banks. What’s different now is that investors have much more to lose than they did a year ago, so they sell at the first whiff of a problem. Even with its recent losses, the S&P 500 is still up 58 percent since hitting bottom March 9. Investors are linking financial problems in Europe with the U.S. eco-

nomic recovery. Some worry that governments’ debt problems will spread in the same way that bad mortgages in the U.S. took down economies here and abroad in 2008. “They are shell-shocked because they’ve seen a similar movie before and they didn’t like the ending,” said Anthony Chan, chief economist at J.P. Morgan Private Wealth Management. “They’re wondering whether this is the sequel or not.”

SAP CEO resigns, replaced by 2 execs FRANKFURT (AP) – The chief executive of German software company SAP AG, Leo Apotheker, has resigned after his contract was not renewed and two new coCEOs have been named, the company said Sunday. Neither the company nor Apotheker, who has been with company since 1988 and CEO since 2008, said why the decision was made not to renew his contract.

DILBERT

The company’s supervisory board, the German equivalent to a U.S. board of directors, did appoint two co-CEOs: Bill McDermott, head of field organization; and Jim Hagemann Snabe, head of product development. Both men are on the company’s executive board. In a brief statement, SAP, based in Walldorf, said its “supervisory

board has reached a mutual agreement” not to extend the contract. McDermott joined SAP in 2002 and oversees global field operations for the company. He joined its executive board in 2008. Hagemann Snabe joined SAP in 1990. SAP also said Vishal Sikka, its chief technology officer, was appointed to the company’s executive board and its co-founder,

for Reynolds, said the company is reviewing the request. “We will provide an appropriate response that we hope will help the center in evaluating our dissolvable tobacco products,” he said. Yet, for some tobacco-industry critics, those words ring hollow. “We are dealing with a company whose own internal documents have spoken about the need to attract youth,” said Matthew Myers, the president of the Campaign for TobaccoFree Kids. He said he supports the FDA’s request as part of “requiring tobacco companies to disclose previously secret data and research concerning new products and their marketing.”

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Historicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; snowstorm makes impact WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Mid-Atlantic U.S. on Sunday began carving a path through the piles of wet, heavy snow in below-freezing temperatures while power crews tried to restore electricity to hundreds of thousands of homes and clear streets for work on Monday. The National Weather Service called the storm â&#x20AC;&#x153;historicâ&#x20AC;? and reported a foot of snow in parts of Ohio and 2 feet or more in Wash-

. . . .

.7:14 .5:55 .3:30 .1:06

ington, Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Parts of Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia got closer to 3 feet. Many roads reopened but officials continued to warn residents that highways could be icy and treacherous. The snow snapped tree limbs onto power lines and several roofs collapsed under the weight. In Washington, city officials said it was unclear if the roads would be clear enough for work-

ers to get in on Monday. Some people without electricity worried whether the power would return in time for Sunday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Super Bowl kickoff â&#x20AC;&#x201C; though it was an afterthought for others just trying to stay warm. Julia Nickles-Bryan and her husband, Charles Bryan, were more focused on keeping their twin 7-yearold daughters warm inside their Baltimore home â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where the thermostat read 47 degrees.
