HIGH POINT – The fact that Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday – a day when most florists are closed – may have escaped the minds of some procrastinators who order flowers for their loved ones at the last minute. Luckily, in order to serve customers on their busiest day of the year and to compete with some larger, online flower sources, most local florists say they’ll be open special hours on Sunday and making deliveries. “We are going to be delivering on Sunday, and we aren’t going to be charging any extra fees for weekend delivery,” said Tommie Hughes, owner of Ellington’s Florist on S. Main Street in High Point. “I know a lot of florists in this area are going to be open and delivering on Sunday, too.” Some online flower providers, which Hughes said have become major competition for local florists in recent years, are charging larger delivery fees to have the flowers delivered on Valentine’s Day because

She said Ellington’s delivery fee will remain a flat $8.95 within a 10-mile radius. Janet Ratledge, manager at Hazel Williams Flower Shoppe on N. Main Street in Archdale, said some online providers such as Pro Flowers also had signed contracts with Fed Ex allowing for the flowers to be delivered during the weekend at normal rates. That creates even more

competition for local florists, she said. To combat the situation, Ratledge said she’ll offer free delivery on Thursday and Sunday. The offer also encourages customers to order flowers apart from Friday and Saturday, which Ratledge believes will be her two busiest days this year. “Most people want their loved ones to get their flowers at work so everybody

can see it,” she said. “The majority of our orders now are going out on Friday. Saturday will probably be our second busiest day.” Depending on the Web site, a customer also could be charged unnecessary service fees, she said. “What a lot of people don’t understand is that they usually pay a service charge when ordering online when they could just call us,” she said. “You’re

much better off calling your local florist.” Hughes and Ratledge said their stores provide Web sites that also allow their customers to order and browse flowers online. “Most of my customers this week have been on my Web site to pick their items out,” Hughes said. “Then they call us and tell us what they want.”

Trinity revises truck parking ban BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRINITY – A controversial ordinance that prohibits truck drivers from parking their tractor-trailers on their own property will return during the Trinity City Council’s monthly meeting Tuesday night. At its preagenda meeting

Tuesday evening, the City Council set a public hearing on amendments to the ordinance, which has been under a moratorium since October. The amendments, which were introduced by staff to the City Council last month, prohibit trucks and trailers from being parked on a lot of 40,000

square feet or more that have local street frontage and corner lots abutting local street frontage. Residents who live on lots of 40,000 square feet or larger and have major and minor street frontage will be allowed to park one truck only on their property, but it would be required to be screened from view.

Those living in residential agricultural districts (more than 2.5 acres) that have local, major or minor street frontage would be allowed to park one truck and trailer per property if the two are screened from view. The ordinance, which prohibits the parking of large trucks on any public

street unless in the process of loading and unloading, defines a tractor as a truck with three or more axles or any truck intended for use as an over-the-road commercial freight hauler. A trailer is defined as being more than 80 inches wide and more than 25 feet in

HIGH POINT – The small dip in gas prices in the last two weeks could simply be a tease to motorists as the summer driving season approaches, according to officials. Nationally, the price per barrel dropped 6 cents in the last week, while the average price in the Triad dropped 2 cents from $2.61 to $2.59. But that’s about as low as prices may go, said Brendan Byrnes, public relations specialist with AAA Carolinas. “High Point has some of the lowest gas prices in the state due to its position along several interstates,” he said. “I think this is probably the lowest point

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

Customers gas up at RaceWay on S. Main Street. for oil we’re going to see for the next few months. We’ll probably see a turnaround for a couple of cents (increase) in the coming two weeks”

Byrnes said the price per barrel of crude oil began to plummet at the end of last month until it bottomed out at $71. It began to rise earlier this week and sits

at about $73 per barrel. The price per barrel and the strength of the U.S. dollar are tied together in a strange way when it comes to affecting the price of gasoline, Byrnes said. “When the dollar has a higher value, investment in oil drops because oil is traded in dollars,” he said. “When the dollar is very weak, investors buy a lot of oil, and that raises the price. The drop in prices will likely stabilize and could potentially start turning back up slightly,” Byrnes added. The approach of the summer travel and vacation season also will put an end to decreasing prices and could bring back the return of $3-per-gallon gas, he said.

“March will start to see a seasonal increase in retail gasoline prices as we start the summer driving season and oil refineries begin to switch to their summer blend of gas,” he said. “Coming into the summer driving season, we could see a 20 cent increase. I don’t expect anything over $2.85 or $2.90, but toward the end of the summer, ($3 prices) aren’t impossible.”

Gubernatorial candidates since ’04 queried about flights

RALEIGH (AP) – State elections officials have asked 17 gubernatorial candidates since 2004 for more information about campaign airplane travel after it was made public recently that the current and previous governor each took dozens of previously undisclosed flights. The State Board of Elections wrote letters last week to Democratic, Republican and Libertarian candidates in the 2004 and 2008 elections, including current Gov. Beverly Perdue. The letters were sent partly in response to October’s elections board hearing involving former Gov. Mike Easley’s campaign. The former two-term Democrat has already been penalized $100,000 by the committee for failing to disclose dozens of campaign flights piloted by a close political ally. During that hearing, a private investigator for the Easley campaign testified he couldn’t find evidence in campaign reports of three Republican candidates that they had reported airplane flights – as either in-kind contributions or expenses – even though media reports and flight records pointed

to them taking trips. The request doesn’t appear to be focused on punishing candidates for errors. The board also has been auditing the reports of dozens of campaign committees and asking them to file amendments to fix mistakes. “It is my understanding that the intent of this inquiry is to ensure that all reports are accurate,” deputy elections director Kim Strach wrote Tuesday in an e-mail. “However, if information suggested that there was a willful attempt to evade disclosure, then I am sure the board would address those actions.” Bill Graham, an unsuccessful Republican candidate in 2008 identified by the private investigator, said Tuesday board staff told his campaign treasurer to disregard the letter because it had already complied. Board officials had reviewed its method of paying for flight-related expenses from a plane through Graham’s Salisbury law firm using personal monetary loans Graham made to the campaign, treasurer Dave McCoy said. “We did make sure that our methods of reporting was correct with

the state board,” Graham said. Strach said her office has “no information to suggest that (Graham) has not accurately disclosed or properly reimbursed for flights.” Another 2008 GOP candidate, Fred Smith of Clayton, traveled on his personal jet during the campaign. The private investigator also identified 2004 GOP nominee Patrick Ballantine. Since August, Perdue’s campaign has identified 31 previously undisclosed flights since 2000 valued at more than $25,000, with the last batch identified to the state board two weeks ago. Campaign officials performed a self-audit last year after they noticed some inconsistencies in their data during the transition to a new computer reporting system in 2007. State Republican leaders criticized Perdue’s disclosures, saying they aren’t much different from Easley’s flights. Federal prosecutors last year sought information on Easley’s airplane travel, while a district attorney is examining whether Easley or someone else broke state laws related to evidence in the October board hearing.

Man steals ambulance with patient inside

MADISON, Wis. (AP) – Authorities say a drunken man stole an ambulance from a Wisconsin ski area with the patient and paramedics still inside. The Dane County Sheriff’s Department says emergency responders were treating a patient in the back of the ambulance

at the Tyrol Basin Ski and Snowboard Area in Mount Horeb on Monday night. They say a 24-year-old Illinois man got into the vehicle and drove it around the parking lot. The sheriff’s department says deputies arrested the man. But it is unclear how he was stopped.

Iran sentences another activist to death

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran has convicted another opposition activist on charges related to the country’s post-election turmoil and sentenced him to death, the judiciary said Tuesday, bringing to at least 10 the number of those facing the death penalty for the unrest following June’s disputed presidential election. Meanwhile, the New York-based International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran said compiled figures show that at least 1,000 people have been detained in Iran since the unrest began.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – Parents of some of the children who 10 U.S. missionaries tried to take out of Haiti after its catastrophic earthquake told a judge Tuesday they freely handed over their kids, the Americans’ lawyer said.

Israel tries to save Jewish settler house

JERUSALEM – The Israeli government has stepped in to save a house built illegally by Jewish settlers in a volatile Palestinian neighborhood in east Jerusalem, complicating already troubled U.S. efforts to renew Mideast peacemaking. The move is meant to skirt a court order to evacuate and seal the house, thus easing settler anger over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to slow Jewish settlement construction.

Over 60 feared dead in Afghan avalanches

KABUL – A series of avalanches engulfed a mountain pass in Afghanistan, trapping hundreds of people in their buried cars and killing as many as 64 people so far, authorities said Tuesday. Rescuers brought in bulldozers, ambulances and helicopters in a massive effort to reach victims stuck in the frigid snow along the 12,700-feet-high Salang Pass, which links the Afghan capital Kabul with the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif.

Nigeria: Vice president now acting president

ABUJA, Nigeria – Nigeria’s parliament empowered Vice President Goodluck Jonathan to run Africa’s most populous nation Tuesday in place of an ill and absent president, striving for a political end to a crisis that ground the government to a virtual halt. But the move is not contemplated in the constitution, legal experts say, and could cause more friction between the Christian south, which gains the presidency at least temporarily, and Muslim north, which finds itself out of the seat of power.

Tower shut after visitors stuck in elevator

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Visitors on the observation deck of the world’s tallest tower heard a loud boom, then saw dust that looked like smoke seeping through a crack in an elevator door 124 floors above the ground. The 15 people inside were trapped for 45 minutes until rescuers managed to pry open the doors.

Uruguay floods prompt thousands to evacuate

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay – Flooding in Uruguay has swamped roads and homes, forced thousands to evacuate and cut power and water service. Hardest-hit is the central province of Durazno, where the Yi River overflowed its banks. Durazno’s emergency agency says 3,000 people were evacuated and another 1,500 left home on their own. Health authorities are working to truck potable water to regions left without service.

US poised to seize Afghan town NEAR MARJAH, Afghanistan (AP) – U.S. and Afghan forces pushed Tuesday to the edge of the southern Afghan town of Marjah, poised to seize the Taliban supply and drugsmuggling stronghold in hopes of building public support by providing aid and services once the insurgents are gone. Instead of keeping the offensive secret, Americans have been talking about it for weeks, expecting the Taliban would flee. But the militants appear to be digging in, apparently believing even a losing fight would rally supporters and sabotage U.S. plans if the battle proves destructive. No date for the main attack has been announced but all signs indicate it will come soon.

Trinity Council is protecting residential areas

The truck–parking ordinance that was carried into law last year by Trinity City Council continues to be questioned and opposed by truck drivers that reside in Trinity. Here are some of the arguments that I’ve recently heard from the truck drivers: • The ordinance places their livelihoods at risk because both the trucks and the loads they haul are worth a lot of money. If parked anyplace other than outside their houses, there is a risk of them being burglarized; • They’ve driven many miles without an accident; • Without truck drivers there wouldn’t be products to buy at the stores; • They are Vietnam veterans; • God has ordained them to drive trucks; • They are the nicest guys you could know; • People in Trinity shouldn’t care about the extra noise and the sight of rigs in the neighborhood. These comments were delivered and repeated at Trinity City Council public meetings over the past several months. Interesting, huh? However, there was one reasonable comment that did emerge from the truck–driving assemblage: They own their own property and therefore have the right to do what they want on their own property. Quite right. But is it? Trinity already has ordinances which address junk cars being parked on lawns, tall grass and – believe it or not – there’s one that prohibits truck terminals in residential zones.

YOUR VIEW

---

Conclusion. Yes, one indeed can do what one wants on one’s own property but within the ordinances that are in place. The bottom line is that this particular ordinance inconveniences the truck drivers, and they don’t like it. I understand that. But my support in this instance is for the Trinity City Council, which, in acting on behalf of the majority of Trinity residents, appears to be attempting to keep Trinity’s residential zones, as they should be – residential.

Griffey adds more Grammys to his resumé I

I

t’s becoming a habit for Anthony Dean “Tony” Griffey ... a very good habit. Last year, the High Point native won Grammys for Best Classical Album and Best Opera Recording – both for his performance with the Los Angeles Opera of “Weill: Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny.” So how does the world-renown tenor follow that performance? He wins two more Grammys this year, Best Classical Album and Best Choral Performance – both for his work on “Mahler: Symphony No. 8; Adagio From Symphony No. 10” in performance with the San Francisco Symphony. Griffey spends part of his time in performance venues around the world, part of his time teaching music at UNC-Chapel Hill and part of his time aiding arts efforts and community organizations in his hometown. We’d call Griffey a goodwill ambassador around the world for High Point. And now we’ll call him a four-time Grammy award winner ... but maybe only until next year.

Maybe this plan can save old school

A

new plan for redeveloping what’s left of the historic Church Street School in Thomasville apparently is in the works. City officials say the structure’s owner, James Moses of Norfolk, Va., and a developer are pursuing plans to build multi-unit apartments for the elderly and support facilities for such a facility. This isn’t the first proposal for redeveloping the school, whose main building burned in 2000. But it sure beats letting what’s left at the site, opened in 1938 as a school for the city’s African-American students, deteriorate. Let’s hope this plan – or any plan, actually – can come to fruition soon and save this property, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.

There’s fallacy in this drive to achieve ‘fairness’

f there is ever a contest to pick which word has done the most damage to people’s thinking, and to actions to carry out that thinking, my nomination would be the word “fair.” It is a word thrown around by far more people than have ever bothered to even try to define it. This mushy vagueness may be a big handicap in logic but it is a big advantage in politics. All sorts of people, with very different notions about what is or is not fair, can be mobilized behind this nicesounding word, in utter disregard of the fact that they mean very different things when they use that word. Some years ago, for example, there was a big outcry that various mental tests used for college admissions or for employment were biased and “unfair” to many individuals or groups. Fortunately there was one voice of sanity – David Riesman, I believe – who said: “The tests are not unfair. Life is unfair and the tests measure the results.” If by “fair” you mean everyone having the same odds for achieving success, then life has never been anywhere close to being fair, anywhere or at any time. If you stop and think about it (however old-fashioned that may seem), it is hard even to conceive of how life could possibly be fair in that sense. Even within the same family, among children born to the same parents and raised under the same roof, the first-borns on average have higher IQs than their brothers and sisters, and usually achieve more in life. Unfairness is often blamed on somebody, even if only on “society.” But whose fault is it if you were not the first born? Since some groups have more children than others, a higher percentage of the next generation will be first-borns in groups that have smaller families, so such groups have an advantage over other groups. Despite all the sound and fury generated in controversies over whether different groups have different genetic potential, even if they all have identical genetic potential the outcomes can still differ if they have different birth rates. Twins have average IQs several points lower than children born singly. Whether that is due to having to share resources in

the womb or having to share parents’ attention after birth, the fact is what it is – and it certainly is not fair. Many people fail to see the fundamental difference between saying that a particular thing – whether a mental OPINION test or an institution – is conveying a difference that Thomas already exists or is creating Sowell a difference that would not ■■■ exist otherwise. Creating a difference that would not exist otherwise is discrimination, and something can be done about that. But, in recent times, virtually any disparity in outcomes is almost automatically blamed on discrimination, despite the incredible range of other reasons for disparities between individuals and groups. Nature’s discrimination completely dwarfs man’s discrimination. Geography alone makes equal chances virtually impossible. The geographic advantages of Western Europe over Eastern Europe – in climate and navigable waterways, among other things – have led to centuries of differences in income levels that were greater than income differences between blacks and whites in America today. Just the fact that the lay of the land is different in different parts of Europe meant that it was easier for the Roman legions to invade Western Europe. This meant that Western Europeans had the advantages of the most advanced civilization in Europe at that time. Moreover, because Roman letters were used in Western Europe, the languages of that region had written versions centuries before the Slavic languages of Eastern Europe did, which made a huge difference for centuries. To those living in Western Europe in the days of the Roman Empire, the idea of being conquered, and many slaughtered, by the Romans probably had no great appeal. But their descendants would benefit from their bad luck. And that doesn’t seem fair either.

It’s time for John Edwards and his mess to fade away

O

nce again, America has had just about enough of John Edwards. And this time, it isn’t even his fault. Well not directly. The facts about Edwards’ love child with mistress Rielle Hunter have come out over the last year, culminating with Edwards’ admitting the child is his recently. But now, ex-political aide Andrew Young is all over the cable news and the networks pushing his new book with the revelation that he has possession of a lurid videotape of Edwards and Hunter. Maybe the old saying should be, “Hell hath no fury like a ex-political aide scorned.” Save it, Mr. Young. We know John Edwards is a slimeball. Anyone who cheats on his wife while she is receiving treatment for terminal cancer, then denies and goes to great lengths to convince the world that he is not the father of said mistress’s child, can’t be much more than that. We don’t need to buy Young’s book to find it out. The truth is, John Edwards never was all he was made out to be. When he won a 1998 Senate election, he was this

fresh face in state politics who seemingly took down the Republican establishment candidate Lauch Faircloth almost on his own, promising a different kind of politics. From there he was fasttracked as a national political star (tread lightly, Scott Brown fans). Barely passed up to accompany Vice President Al Gore on the Democratic ticket for the 2000 election, Edwards launched his own candidacy for the nation’s highest office in 2004 and again in 2008. But underlying that 2004 campaign was something that only North Carolinians knew. Edwards had to run for president, since it was unlikely he would have won re-election for his Senate seat. In his time in Washington, he had proven himself not as a cham-

pion of the little guy, but just another egotistical politician getting $400 haircuts. It’s a fact that the rest of the country is just now realizing, it seems. Edwards pitched himself as a small-town guy (from nearby Robbins) with a populist message. And he very well could have been sincere in his message about “two Americas” and even genuinely wanted to help remedy the disparities that exist in this country between the haves and the have-nots. Only problem was his own lifestyle seemed to be the polar opposite of the one America he was vowing to fight for. He never should have run for public office to start with, having such deep-seeded character flaws. A brilliant lawyer, he could have had a much

greater impact fighting the good fight outside of the spotlight. We are glad Edwards was found out before he reached the White House. As disappointing as the truth is, it has to be brought to light. Now it’s time for Young, Edwards, Hunter and the rest of this terrible situation just to go away. We don’t need Edwards in the limelight anymore, and we surely don’t need to see the tape.

Senate Democrats unveil jobs package

WASHINGTON (AP) – Senate Democrats circulated a jobs bill Tuesday that’s light on new initiatives on boosting hiring and heavy with provisions sought by lobbyists for business groups, doctors and the satellite broadcasting industry. Senate Democrats were working to round up Republican support, hoping to hand President Barack Obama a badly needed political victory before Congress breaks for Presidents Day next week. Republicans are willing partners because much of the bill is made up of tax breaks they support, though many GOP senators said they were still waiting to see the details. The 362-page measure is still in draft form and has not been officially released. The draft has very few new

Man faces murder charge in toddler’s death

WHO’S NEWS

----

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A man faces a murder charge in the death of a toddler last year after he was indicted this week. The Davidson County Grand Jury on Monday returned two true bills of indictment against Travis Christopher Lemmond for firstdegree murder and felony child abuse inflicting serious injury, according to the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office. Lemmond, 20, was taken into custody Monday night by sheriff’s detectives with assistance from the Union County Sheriff’s Office at his home in the Union County town of Mineral Springs. He was taken back to Davidson County, where he was processed and jailed without bond. The charges Lemmond faces stem from Nov. 20, when deputies were called to the Lexington Memorial Hospital emergency department in reference to a 21-month-old child who had been brought in and pronounced dead on arrival. Doctors unsuccessfully attempted to resuscitate the child, and detectives were called to the hospital shortly after the original report to begin an investigation into the child’s death, which occurred at a Meadowcreek Drive apartment in Lexington, according to the sheriff’s office. Detectives conducted interviews with several family members and collected evidence. The child’s body was sent to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Chapel Hill for an autopsy. Detectives have continued investigating since the child’s death. Once the final autopsy report was received, detectives discussed the case with the District Attorney’s Office, and the decision was made to seek indictments. Lemmond’s relationship to the victim was not disclosed. Authorities also declined to release information about how the child died or what evidence led to Lemmond’s indictment. The final autopsy report from the medical examiner’s office was unavailable Tuesday. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Back on the trail Gerald Hege makes his candidacy official BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

LEXINGTON – Former Davidson County sheriff Gerald Hege made his candidacy official on Tuesday, filing with the Davidson County Board of Elections to seek the office in this year’s elections. Accompanied by about a dozen supporters, many wearing hats reading “Hege 2010,” the former controversial figure filed at about noon. He’s the second Republican to file for sheriff since filing began Monday. “It’s a big day,” Hege said. “There are a lot of people, including myself, who didn’t think I’d see this day again. You get down and you get depressed, but you tell your kids all their lives, you are going to have problems, you are going to fall, you are going to stumble and you got to get back up. That’s exactly what I did.” Hege, a Republican, resigned as sheriff in 2004 and pleaded guilty to two felony counts of obstruction of justice for attempting to cover up money missing from the vice and narcotics unit of the sheriff’s department. The former sheriff, who was

elected in 1994, ended his probation in May 2007, which allowed him to run for sheriff again. State and federal laws, however, prohibit him from owning a gun, even if he is re-elected to the post of sheriff, because he is a convicted felon. Speaking to reporters Tues-

‘There are a lot of people, including myself, who didn’t think I’d see this day again.’ Gerald Hege Candidate for Davidson County sheriff day, Hege said he wasn’t worried about not being able to carry a gun. He did say he may petition the courts to allow him to carry one. Hege noted that all of the police officers who have been killed in the last two years have carried a weapon. “I’m a pretty tough guy,” he said. “I’m a pretty big guy, been to a lot of calls. I’m not worried about that at all.” While sheriff, Hege painted

the jail’s cell walls pink and removed television sets and books from the county jail. Prisoners wore coordinated jumpsuits to identify their offense, while deputies wore combat boots. If elected again as sheriff, Hege, who received enough national attention for his unusual methods that it led to a starring role on a national reality television program on Court TV, has said he would make immediate changes, such as repainting the walls pink and removing the television sets. He even hasn’t ruled out another chance of starring on his own TV show if given the chance. “I’m just a high-profile person,” he said. “I never thought that I would have a national TV show when I was growing up. For me to say I wouldn’t do that again, I couldn’t tell you that, because I don’t know.” Republican David Grice, the incumbent sheriff, said he plans to file next Monday. Terry Price, a retired state patrolman who sought the post three years ago, filed Monday as a Republican. Edgar Shuler, a former Davidson County Sheriff’s Office lieutenant, also has announced his plans to run for sheriff as a Republican. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

TRIAD – The Movie Gallery in Archdale has dodged a series of store closings issued by the movie rental chain earlier this month.

Main St. will remain open. Some stores in surrounding areas, including one in Lexington and one in Clemmons, will close in the coming months.

NC firm fined $12.6 million for alleged trade violations NEW BERN (AP) – The successor company of a North Carolina criminal investigation supply firm must pay $12.6 million in response to accusations that the former president violated his previous plea agreement for illegally trading with China. A federal magistrate judge in New Bern accepted on Tuesday a deferred prosecution agreement for Sirchie Acquisition Company. In exchange, federal attorneys won’t pursue a 10-count criminal information unsealed against Sirchie. The government alleged the president of what previously was known as Sirchie Fingerprint Laboratories didn’t comply with the terms of his 2006 criminal plea barring him from regulated overseas commerce for five years.

In this 1969 file photo, former Associated Press freelance photographer Felice Quinto is shown on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in New York.

Celebrity photographer Felice Quinto dies at 80 ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) – Felice Quinto, a renowned celebrity photographer and the likely model for the character Paparazzo in Federico Fellini’s 1960 film “La Dolce Vita,” has died. He was 80. Quinto died of pneumonia on Jan. 16 in Rockville, his wife, Geraldine Quinto, said Monday. Quinto often was referred to as the “king of the paparazzi” – a term derived from the character in “La Dolce Vita” – and he pioneered some of the aggressive tactics that celebrity photographers use to this day. He would hide in bushes, wear disguises and zip around Rome on a motorcycle, taking photos that appeared in gossip publications around the world. Quinto was born in Milan in 1929 and befriended Fellini while living

in Rome in the 1950s. According to his wife, Fellini asked Quinto to play a photographer in “La Dolce Vita,” but he declined because he was making more money taking pictures. He briefly appeared in the film as a bystander. “By the time Fellini came out with his movie, it was already about four years that I had been doing photography,” Quinto told the Dallas Morning News in 1985. In 1960, Quinto snapped a picture of actress Anita Ekberg – who appeared in “La Dolce Vita” as a starlet hounded by Paparazzo – kissing a married movie producer at a cafe in Rome. Quinto told ABC News in 1997 that Ekberg shot arrows at him as he stood outside her house at 5 a.m. One nicked Quinto’s hand, and another struck a photographer’s car.

Admiral: Quality of care at hospital is excellent CAMP LEJEUNE (AP) – The admiral in charge of Navy hospitals in the east region said Tuesday the quality of care at the hospital in North Carolina is excellent. Rear Adm. Bob Kiser said he had “no concerns about the quality of care” at the Camp Lejeune hospital. Public questions about the quality of mental health care at the base were raised last year by the September firing of Dr. Kernan Manion. He’s a brain trauma specialist who says he was fired after he had complained to commanders about in-

adequate care and weak security. Kiser commands 15 hospitals on the East Coast, Gulf Coast, Great Lakes and in Europe. He spent two days visiting the hospital to discuss its December quality assurance review. “The review found that the quality of care that is available for the Marines and sailors and family members at Camp Lejeune is quite high and that there were no specific issues identified,” Kiser said. Kiser said the results of the review are protected by privacy laws and could not be made public.

Man testifies about night he found body RALEIGH (AP) – A man imprisoned for almost 17 years for a murder he says he didn’t commit testified Tuesday before a threejudge panel that could release him, sticking to the same story that he has told since he was arrested. Greg Taylor, 47, of Cary said he spent a night of drinking and doing drugs as he and friends drove from one location to another to buy crack cocaine. He left his home about 6 p.m. on Sept. 25, 1991, and was being interrogated by police by about 9 a.m. the following day about the death of Jacquetta Thomas, 26, a prostitute whose beaten body was found on a Raleigh street. “Did you cut her throat?� defense attorney Joe Cheshire asked Taylor.

“No,� he replied. “Did you use a blunt instrument to hit her in the throat and head?� Cheshire asked. “No,� he replied again. Taylor, wearing a suit and tie along with leg shackles, spoke so softly at times that a court reporter asked him to speak up. He choked up as he testified about his daughter, who was 8 years old at the time of his arrest. During his interrogation, police asked him “What is your little girl going to say?� “I didn’t do it,� he said, repeating what he told police. “I did not do it.� His daughter, 26-yearold Kristen Puryear of Durham, sat on the front row of the courtroom and wiped away tears during parts of her father’s testimony.

Andrew Young, former aide to John Edwards, leaves the Chatham County courtroom in Pittsboro last week after a hearing in which Superior Court Judge Abraham Penn Jones declared that he was in contempt of court and demanded that Young turn over over a “personal� videotape being sought by Edwards’ former mistress.

Court blocks security ruling on Edwards sex tape retrieval Edwards aide Andrew Young to turn over the tape by Wednesday afternoon. Superior Court Judge Abraham Penn Jones last week ordered that Young’s copies of the tape be turned over so they can be placed under seal. Jones has threatened Young with penalties if he doesn’t hand them over. Jones later ordered

that a security official accompany Young to collect the video from a safety deposit box in Atlanta, a requirement that Young’s attorneys protested. They argued to the appeals court that he was coerced to turn over the tape with an “improper threat of imprisonment.� They also claimed that requiring an escort was tantamount to an unreason-

able search and seizure. Young, who has penned a tell-all book about Edwards and his affair, has said that the video depicts Edwards in a sexual encounter with a woman that appears to be his former mistress, Rielle Hunter. She has sued him for invasion of privacy and sought the return of what she deemed a private and personal video.

Dear College Co-ed: A mother may always have the right to worry, but she does not always have the right to snoop. Because you have already tried explaining to her that you feel what she’s doing is an invasion of privacy and the message isn’t getting through, it’s time for you

ADVICE Dear Abby â– â– â–

to open a post office box near the campus and have your mail sent there. It can be forwarded to you if you go home for the summers.

Dear Abby: After my mother died two years ago, my sisters and I divided up her household items, parceling out equally objects of material and sentimental value. One item, which went to my younger sister, “Beth,� was a brightly colored handmade Native American rug our parents bought in the 1950s in Arizona. It had been displayed prominently for decades on a wall in the house where we three children grew up. I visited Beth recently and was shocked to see that she had taken the rug out of storage and was using it as a floor rug in her family room. I shuddered to think of the damage that a daily trample by her three little kids, she and her husband and a sadly incontinent dog will do to this family treasure. I politely asked her to reconsider and find somewhere else to display it. If she couldn’t, I offered to trade it for something of her choice from my parcel of the family possessions. Beth took offense, reminding me that it is, after all, a rug, and that it now belongs to her. Emphasizing that her small

house has limited wall space, she implied that I was trying to get the rug for myself. She feels my desire to see it displayed is no more valid than hers to see it used. Am I wrong in thinking she should not trash this heirloom? – Sentimental in Hartford, Conn. Dear Sentimental: The rug belongs to your sister, to do with as she pleases. HOWEVER, her Native American rug purchased in the 1950s could be extremely valuable. Has your sister had it appraised? If not, I am urging you to tell her to have it done, because it could pay for a year or two of one of her children’s college education. Dear Abby: “Katy� and I are in a loving relationship but have an ongoing argument in our home. Katy always sets the alarm clock for an hour before it’s time to get up – then hits the “snooze� button five times before actually dragging herself out of bed (which is usually even later). Because I am a light sleeper, I’m forced to listen to the alarm clock and end up waking up earlier than I’d like. Can you please offer a solution? – Sleepless in South Carolina Dear Sleepless: Earplugs for you. A cold foot on the behind for Katy.

ear Abby: I am 20 and live most of the year on my college campus. I’m on a full scholarship, so my parents are not paying my tuition. Most of my mail – bank statements, etc. – still goes to my parents’ house since I don’t have a permanent address. For the last two years, my mother has opened my bank statement and read the entire thing. She then calls me and goes through all of my card charges and checks, and asks me to explain where I was and what I bought. I have tried telling her that I am an adult and that what I buy is my business, but she continues to do this every month. When I explained that I am capable of managing my own finances, she told me she was just worried about me and that “a mother ALWAYS has the right to worry about her only child.� I understand she will always be concerned about my well-being, financial and otherwise, but this is taking it too far. How can I explain to her that it’s not OK to invade my privacy? I know she means well, and I don’t want to hurt her feelings, but it’s really becoming a hassle. – College Co-ed iIn Williamsburg, Va.

Give Her a Kiss

Answer: What a wonderful idea, and you are not alone. It appears there has been a growing trend across the country to turn yards and landscapes into edible landscapes. The interest in growing your own produce has certainly caught on right here in the Piedmont. It might be due to the economy, and there appears to be an interest in local sustainable food. Whatever your reasoning for putting in an edible garden, they are a great way to improve your health and well being.

s a child in Kannapolis, Bob Hicks loved being part of the Royal Ambassadors, a Scouting club for Baptist boys. In the club, he thought he was learning sports, crafts and camping. In reality, Hicks was learning how to treat other people. “I remember one time we got into a fight while playing football. Our RA leader, Bim Hilton, took us inside, sat us down and told us that when we had a ABOVE disagreeAND ment, we BEYOND should talk it Patty Jo out and Sawvel try to see ■■■ the other person’s point of view,” Hicks said. Hicks remembers that conversation 55 years later. However, it took several similar lessons before Hicks figured out how to see things through the other person’s eyes. On a camping trip, Hicks and three of his buddies had a little extra time while the bacon and eggs cooked. They decided to have some fun by dipping Pee-wee Freeland in Buffalo Creek. Pee-wee was the runt of the group, and the creek was especially cold. Peewee didn’t appreciate their prank, and neither did the RA leader. “We were severely lectured about ganging up on someone smaller than ourselves. Instead, we were encouraged to include him in our group,” Hicks said. This time the lesson stuck. Hicks came to know Pee-wee, and by the time they were in high school, they were friends. When the boys grew up, they parted ways. After college, Hicks moved to Kernersville and taught at East Forsyth High School a few years before opening his own insurance company. In the meantime, he looked for a community club. At age 31, Hicks joined the Lions Club, believing that it would be a good social club. Soon he found out their motto, “We Serve,” was literal. As he watched fellow Lions, such as Solly Coltrane and W.J. O’Brien (both deceased), make a genuine difference for the visually and hearing impaired, Hicks decided that he wanted to serve, too. “By rolling up my sleeves and sticking to my commitment, I found myself surrounded by a group of people that were dependable, honest and compassionate. So the social benefits came when I put service first,” Hicks said. Bob Hicks has now served the Lions Club for 35 years and in several capacities, including president and treasurer.

BLONDIE

Artery hardening is still with us. Now it goes by the name of arteriosclerosis (are-TEER-eeoh-sklare-OH-siss). The “arterio” of arteriosclerosis is “artery,” and the “sclerosis” is “hardening.” It isn’t hardening, exactly. It’s a buildup of cholesterol, fat, some blood proteins and some blood cells on the walls of arteries. The buildup is plaque. It’s the No. 1 disease in Western countries. Arteriosclerosis is responsible for heart attacks. In a heart artery, the mound of plaque cracks open and a clot forms on the crack. The flow of blood to the heart muscle is obstructed, and the result is a heart attack. The same happens in the brain to cause a stroke. When this happens in a leg artery, you have peripheral artery disease, PAD. Your grandfather probably did have some artery hardening. Every older person does. The more likely diagnosis of his mental failure is Alzheimer’s disease, a condition unknown in his time. The number of treatments for arteriosclerosis

LOS ANGELES (AP) – There’s no bloody glove this time, no smoking gun, no faded music icon showing up in court wearing a wig that made it look like he plugged his finger into an electrical socket. There’s not even a celebrity for that matter – the person on trial is a doctor no one had heard of eight months ago. Still, the case of the People vs. Michael Jackson’s doctor has already taken on all the trappings of a full-blown Los Angeles celebrity trial, complete with a scrum of paparazzi and news photographers staking out the accused’s residence and chasing him everywhere he goes. So it seems certain Conrad Murray will join the ranks of O.J. Simpson, Robert Blake and Phil Spector in the pantheon of Los Angeles celebrity defendants, even if he’s an obscure Texas cardiol-

ogist in a case of medical negligence. Murray returns to court in April to find out the date for the next major step in the case – a proceeding that will reveal for the first time the evidence the prosecution believes will show his “gross negligence� was the direct cause of the pop star’s death.

Mocha Baked Alaska can be the dessert to make together and enjoy together for Valentine’s Day.

R

omantic evening starts in the kitchen

his restaurant classic is a favorite for special occasions because it packs plenty of Wow!-factor. It’s also great to cook together because it involves so many little steps. And what’s more romantic than cooking something together, then setting it on fire? If mocha isn’t your thing, feel free to use whatever flavor ice cream or sorbet you prefer. Just skip the instant coffee in the chocolate sauce.

Mocha Baked Alaska Start to finish: 45 minutes Servings: 4

For the syrup: 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup water 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the mocha sauce: 1/2 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon instant coffee granules 4 ounces dark chocolate chips For the base: 1 pint purchased coffee ice cream 4 slices (about 6 ounces) purchased pound cake For the strawberries: 8 ounces fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced 2 tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon orange liqueur For the meringue: 4 egg whites 3/4 cup sugar, divided 1/4 cup water To make the syrup, in a small sauce pan over medium-high, combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil so that the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Add the vanilla, then set aside. To make the mocha sauce, in a microwave-safe dish, combine the cream and coffee granules. Heat on high in 30-second bursts until

bubbly. Add the chocolate chips and stir until smooth, then set aside. Use a biscuit cutter or overturned large glass to cut each slice of pound cake into rounds. Arrange the cake rounds on a baking sheet. If you wish to prepare only 2 servings, divide the cakes between 2 baking sheets. Brush each round with the vanilla sugar syrup. Scoop the ice cream into 4 large balls and mound one on top of each slice of cake. Place in the freezer. In a medium bowl, toss the strawberries with the sugar and orange liquor. Set aside. Place the eggs in a large bowl. Prepare an electric mixer with the whisk attachment. In a small saucepan over medium, combine 1/2 cup of the sugar and the water. When the temperature of the sugar and water reaches 220 degrees, turn the mixer on mediumhigh and whip the egg whites. When the egg whites are very frothy, slowly add to them the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Continue

beating the egg whites until they reach soft peaks. Continue cooking the sugar syrup until it reaches 240 degrees. This should happen at almost the same time as the egg whites being ready. With the mixer on, pour the sugar syrup down the inside of the bowl into the egg whites. Continue beating until the outside of the bowl is no longer warm and the meringue is thick and bright white. Remove the cakes from the freezer. Using a spoon or a piping bag, completely cover the outside of the ice cream and cake with meringue. If you only plan to prepare 2 servings, the remaining can be frozen until needed. Heat a broiler. When the broiler is very hot, place the meringuecovered cake and ice cream rounds under it for about 1 minute, or until just lightly browned. To serve, coat the bottom of each serving plate with the chocolate sauce. Use a spatula to transfer one baked Alaska to each plate, then spoon strawberries alongside it. Serve immediately.

Dessert wines add sweet touch for Valentine’s BY MICHELLE LOCKE FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

O

AP

Winemaker Greg Allen looks over a glass of Dolce wine inside the Dolce cellar in Oakville, Calif.

AKVILLE, Calif. – What’s the grown-up version of candy hearts? Perhaps a sweet little bottle of dessert wine. Sweet wines don’t get the same sort of press as the big guns – chardonnay and cab – but they have a place at the table, especially at this time of year when romance is in the air, and possibly on the menu. And you don’t have to wait for dessert, says Greg Allen, winemaker at

Dolce, the Napa Valley winery that is devoted to producing a single dessert wine of the same name. “As an aperitif, I love it with blue cheese,” he says. “And having it with Maine lobster is a wonderful treat.” Dessert wines come in various styles. Many are late harvest wines, which means the grapes are left on the vine until the sugar levels increase dramatically, then the grapes are pressed and fermented to produce a wine with residual sugar, hence the sweetness.

A chance to make some creative, personal changes is apparent. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t let anyone get the better of you by making you angry. A practical and rational approach will enable you to handle the situation with dignity and grace. It’s diplomacy that will impress others. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your experience will help you out now. Someone you love and trust will be able to help you see things from a better perspective. A solution can be found as long as you don’t overreact or overindulge. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Refuse to let anyone pressure you into doing something you don’t feel right about. Come up with alternative ideas that will allow you to spread around the responsibilities. If you delegate, you will remain in control. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you need help, ask for it. A new plan will help you make decisions about your future that can lead to higher income and a better sense of what you are capable of doing.

“Never doubt, child, that I’m the most potent card in Wonderland,” the Queen of Hearts told Alice. “I can work my will even when an ace or king captures me.” “Yes, your majesty,” Alice replied in a tone of polite disbelief. “Think not?” roared the Queen. “Deal the cards.” Alice soon became declarer at four spades after a lively auction. The Mad Hatter, West, took two high clubs, and when the March Hare, East, discarded a high diamond, the Hatter shifted to a low diamond. “Off with his head,” bellowed the Queen of Hearts.

HEART HONOR

The Hare took the ace and led another diamond, and Alice ruffed and drew trumps. She knew from the play that the Hatter had held two trumps, seven clubs and at least three diamonds: The only hope was that he had a singleton heart honor. So Alice led a heart to dummy’s ace and finessed with her ten next. Making four. “You oaf,” the Queen of Hearts told the quaking Hatter. “Lead me at Trick Three and declarer fails.” (East could also have done better.)

Marriage: Let’s face it, it’s complicated M

higher rate. Our lives are that much more complicated the further we progress in them. Add into the mix children, aging parents, job changes and losses, menopause, weight gain, other health DAD’S issues, and you tend to wonder how we can get POINT along at all as we get OF VIEW older. There were countBruce less marital clichés in Sallan the movie, such as how ■■■ couples “drift apart,” “don’t work hard enough at it” or wind up “living separate lives,” none of which were necessarily exact quotes from the movie though all were spiritually in tune with the script. My wife wanted me to see how this couple allowed their relationship to drift apart aimlessly, even though they had terrific chemistry and three wonderful kids. This was a familiar scenario, but it made us wonder in discussion afterward, how often couples do give up on each other, don’t put in the effort to keep things vibrant, or – as in the case of the movie – look elsewhere for affection and love, thus fatally damaging the marriage. Should an affair end a marriage? Well, we’ll address that an-

y wife took me to see Nancy Meyers’ new movie, “It’s Complicated,” which stars Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. She had seen it a day or two before and wanted to see it with me saying, “It would be good for us.” Honestly, I do tend to like what is typically labeled “chick flicks” but don’t like director Nancy Meyers’ perfect world, perfect rich characters and perfect-looking people. But, for the sake of marital harmony, I agreed. I didn’t expect what followed. Throughout the movie, my wife was jabbing me in the ribs whenever she wanted me to notice a point being made that she felt related to me or us. So, I left with bruised ribs, which ached even more toward the end of the movie during the one, truly hilarious scene. I really enjoyed laughing that hard, in spite of the pained ribs, which I’ve totally exaggerated for sympathy anyway. Without a doubt, the best thing about the movie is that comic scene near the end. “It’s Complicated” is also that rare movie title that really works and has so many other relevant meanings related to life, marriage, raising kids, and even a Facebook status. There’s a definite reason that second marriages fail more than first ones, and third marriages fail even at a

other time as I have some strong opinions on that subject. In our marriage, we’ve just remained stubborn, set in our ways and unwilling to change. That admission notwithstanding, we are equally willing to recognize and own our faults, occasionally admit them out loud and try to change them. The “try” part is the operative word and mutual challenge. I am very stuck in my habits and patterns. Further, as a couple we’ve become a bit stuck in a cyclical pattern where one of us has hurt feelings and retreats from the relationship with various excuses such as being tired, having work to do, or other equally lame and childish efforts to avoid what is really on our minds. I’ll speak for myself in saying it’s cowardly and I hate when I’m doing it, I’m actually ashamed of myself, but I’m too stubborn to back off. It’s a classic loselose, but I’m right in my mind, even when I’m sleeping on the couch. I know I’m not alone in these sorts of interactions as I hear examples of them every Monday night in my men’s group. I thank God for these men as they remind me how often it is my reaction that aggravates the situation when my wife says something I find upsetting. To take a phrase from our group, how I “show up” makes all the difference in whether a small incident escalates to a fight or I can “let it go,”

maybe give my wife a hug even when I’m irritated with her, and move on versus hang on. In a recent therapy session, our therapist had some wise words. He said that in the vast majority of marital arguments, both sides are to some degree or another, right. But, what difference does it make? What good is being right if your partner, whom you supposedly love, is upset? Frankly, it’s childish. I stand by my rightness far too much, and I lose as a result, let alone that I’ve hurt the woman I love and chose to share my life with. Yes, relationships are complicated. But, it takes two to make them work or fail, and I’m grateful that I have a partner who is willing to admit her mistakes as readily as I will admit mine. Where there’s that kind of communication, there’s hope and every chance to have a beautiful, nurturing relationship. Stay tuned.

Some, like Dolce, also involve allowing a particular kind of mold, known as botrytis, to develop. This further concentrates the grape sugars and flavors. This is a labor-intensive and tricky process. You have to have just the right amount of rain – it doesn’t happen every year, but it did this harvest – followed by painstaking picking; sometimes only a few grapes are selected from a cluster. The result is a golden, silky wine with notes of pineapple and caramel. Dolce costs around $85 for a half-bottle. Still, everything’s relative. Compare that to the hundreds of dollars you can spend on Chateau d’Yquem from France, generally held to be the king of dessert wines and the inspiration for Dolce. The good news is the wine is rich enough that a little goes a long way, says Allen. “It’s not a quaffing wine. It is something that is sublime and has a very lengthy texture on the palate and you want to be able to enjoy that.” Port also falls into the category of dessert wines. Here the sweetness comes from adding a spirit, often brandy. Portuguese producers and their supporters assert that true port hails from Portugal. Still, a number of domestic producers, including Swan-

Dole: www.dolcewine.com Swanson: www.swansonvineyards.com son Vineyards in the Napa Valley, are making what are called port-style wines. These usually are higher in alcohol content than regular wines, around 18 to 19 percent, and are a traditional way to end a meal. Ports also happen to be good with dark chocolate, a plus for Valentine’s Day. Swanson, which makes dessert wines in limited quantities and sells them through its wine club or at the winery’s Rutherford tasting room, has a port-style wine, Arsene, which is made from petite sirah grapes, fortified with brandy and aged in French oak for 13 months. It sells for $75 for a 750-milliliter bottle. A good dessert wine is “always a good conversation starter,” points out Mike Jellison, president at Swanson Vineyards. “When you have a really good dessert wine, there’s so much to talk about, the taste, the flavor. You can’t help but smile.” Another California portstyle wine is Obtuse, from Justin Vineyards & Winery in Paso Robles, which runs in the $25 range. Jellison sees more pro-

ducers adding sweet wines to their portfolio, though there’s still a limited audience for these styles of wines. Some people blame that on the cheap, not very good dessert wines they feel have given the whole category a bad name. “Sweet wines are SO overlooked,” says Karen Page, who with husband Andrew Dornenburg wrote “The Flavor Bible,” and “What to Drink with What You Eat.” “They often get no respect, except by those in the know.” Some affordable (under $30) recommendations from Page and Dornenburg: • Moscato d’Asti, sweet semi-sparkling wines from Italy that also are low in alcohol, which can be a good thing at the end of dinner. There are many good producers; one to try is Vietti. • Ice wines, made with grapes that have been allowed to freeze on the vine. These wines can be expensive, but Canadian vintner Jackson-Triggs makes a number of reasonably priced bottles. • Alcyone, a red dessert wine from Uruguay. This runs in the $20 to $30 range and has overtones of the campfire classic, s’mores – hints of chocolate, marshmallows and a bit of spice. “It’s one of the most beguiling wines we’ve ever tasted,” says Dornenburg.

The only place your going to want to toss these Coconut Ice Cream Snowballs is right into your mouth.

Who can resist throwing – or eating – snowballs? 14-ounce package shredded coconut

BY ALISON LADMAN FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

T

ake a break from skiing and toss a few snowballs. Or just sit at home and eat these incredibly rich snowballlike ice cream balls made from coconut milk and cream of coconut. This is part 8 in a series of 11 recipes inspired by the sports to be played at the upcoming winter Olympics in Vancouver.

Coconut Ice Cream Snowballs Start to finish: 2 hours (15 minutes active) Servings: 6 to 8 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup sugar 15-ounce can cream of coconut 15-ounce can coconut milk 1 cup heavy cream

In a small saucepan over medium, combine the milk and sugar. Heat to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Transfer the mixture to a blender, then add the cream of coconut, coconut milk and heavy cream. Blend until smooth. Use an ice cream maker to freeze according to product directions. When the ice cream is firm, scoop into balls, then roll each in the shredded coconut. Freeze on a baking sheet until ready to serve.

LIPOSUCTION Liposuction continues to be one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. Well over 200,000 men and women have a fatty area of their body reduced each year. This is a procedure that is fun for me to perform, especially because I can help you feel better about yourself. It’s truly a win-win! Let’s talk about what we do and how liposuction works. The procedure takes place after you have been sedated. We administer IV fluid with pain medication and epinephrine into the area of your body where the surgery will be performed. This helps with pain control right after surgery. The effect of the IV gradually goes away, but we start you on pain pills early so you can continue to experience pain control. The epinephrine makes blood vessels shrink which results in less bleeding, and bruising. It also helps the area look better sooner.

Next comes the actual liposuction. I can get real fancy here, but what’s the point? The bottom line is we take a hollow metal tube, a cannula, and vacuum out the fat! You may have seen this procedure on TV, and it can seem rather gruesome. However, I think the videoed surgeons are showing off a bit for the camera! At the end of the procedure we place you in a compression garment similar to a girdle. This is an important step because the area where the cannula has sucked out the fat has become like a tunnel. The garment compresses this area to give you a smooth contour. And I know from personal experience that it makes the area feel better as well. I know because I’ve had liposuction too on my abdomen and neck. You will wear this garment most of the time for several weeks. You can take it off at any time, wash it, take a shower, and then just put it back on when it’s done drying in

the dryer. Recovery is not too bad. It feels like a deep bruise. Most people can return to desk type work in about 5-7days. It takes some a little longer, some return to work a little sooner. Everybody is different. Will the fat come back? Well, no. If we suck it out it’s gone! But, getting more serious here, we don’t take ALL the fat out of the hips, or love handles, or wherever. The fat that is left behind can grow. But, if you gain some weight afterwards, the fat doesn’t just settle in the liposuctioned areas. It most likely will be distributed around the entire body. If you maintain your weight, which is the best scenario of course, there is no change---it’s permanent! So, come on. What have you got to lose? Only the fat, I guess! Virgil V. Willard, II, MD

Chuck chooses Comets BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WALLBURG – After penning what he called “a great read from beginning to end,” Chuck Henderson decided the time was right for the next chapter in his life. Ledford’s football head coach the past seven seasons announced Tuesday he’s resigning his position to take over the Asheboro High School football program. Henderson, who coaches track and field in the spring, will finish the year in the Ledford physical education department and officially begin his duties with the Blue Comets on July 1. “I’m leaving on a good note, I haven’t had any problems – I’ve got nothing but the utmost respect, fondness and adoration for everybody in the Ledford area,” Henderson said. “It’s just time for

a new challenge.” After six years as an assistant coach at North Davidson and five more at High Point Central, Henderson got his Henderson first head coaching position in 2003. His debut game leading the Panthers? None other than a 17-7 win at Asheboro’s Lee Stone Stadium. That marked the first of six meetings against Henderson’s future team, with each side winning three times. The Panthers took last year’s Mid-Piedmont 3A Conference showdown 21-13, and at least three more years of league clashes are on tap before the next statewide realignment. Henderson compiled a 47-41 record with the Panthers and his teams reached the second round of the playoffs four times. Led-

ford’s only losing seasons during Henderson’s tenure – in 2004 and 2005 – included conference records of 5-3 and 3-3, respectively. Henderson’s fondest memories were of his first team that tied for a conference championship and his last team, which finished 6-6 but played for an MPC title after an 0-3 start. “It’s a bookend – a great read from beginning to end,” said Henderson, who turns 40 next month. “This past year is probably my proudest accomplishment because the kids really bought in after hearing they weren’t any good, we were going to go 0-11. They played hard down after down and we were a good football team.” In Asheboro, Henderson said the draw of a “one-horse town” was appealing. Students in Asheboro attend either North or South Middle, then funnel to the city

system’s lone high school. “It’s like Lexington and Thomasville, harkens back to the days when the town shut down on Friday night and everybody goes to the game,” Henderson said. After breaking the news to his players and receiving “a good reception” Tuesday afternoon, Henderson turned over the football program to his assistants. Panthers’ athletic director Donald Palmer said the school will be patient and make a decision on posting the position in a week. “You hate losing a guy like Chuck,” Palmer said. “He made the playoffs every year, finished in the top half of the conference most of the time, and he’s a good person, doing the right things at the right time. It will be difficult to replace him.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Wake holds off Boston College WINSTON-SALEM (AP) – Al-Farouq Aminu had 22 points, Chas McFarland added 14 points and 11 rebounds and Wake Forest held off a late rally by Boston College to beat the Eagles 92-85 on Tuesday night. L.D. Williams added 14 points for the Demon Deacons (17-5, 7-3 Atlantic Coast Conference). They never trailed, were held without a field goal for the final 101⁄2 minutes, but made 14 of 18 free throws in the final 5:36 to win their third straight and fifth in six games. Wake Forest trails both Duke (7-2) and Maryland (6-2) in the standings. Tyler Roche scored a career-high 31 points – including 15 of BC’s first 19 – and Corey Raji had 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Eagles (12-12, 3-7). They played without leading scorer Joe Trapani, who didn’t make the trip because of illness, and lost their third straight. BC has dropped eight of 11 in 2010 and fell to 1-4 in ACC road games this season. Ishmael Smith had 11 assists for the Deacons, who led by 19 before going cold from the field down the stretch, yet managed to win their third straight in the series.

DCCC clinches title ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

SANFORD – Davidson County Community College’s men’s basketball team clinched an outright Region X championship on Tuesday night with a 73-68 win over Central Carolina Community College. The Storm shared Region X titles the past two seasons, but will be alone in first this year after improving to 214 overall and 8-0 in the league. Every other conference foe has at least three losses. “One of our goals this year was to hang a regular-season championship banner without that word ‘co’ on it,” Storm coach Matt Ridge said. “Obviously, we have bigger fish to fry – we want to win the regionals.” That, and a victory in

the one-game district playoff round, would send DCCC to the national championship tournament in New York. Tuesday’s game saw the host team lead by one with about four minutes remaining before the Storm took control with key stops and free throws. Justin Glover, who led the way with 24 points, added a key hustle play when he saved a possession by leaping out of bounds for a loose ball and throwing it off a CCCC player. Kimani Hunt added 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Storm, with Phillip Williams adding 11 points and six assists for the sixth-ranked team in the NJCAA Division III ranks. DCCC plays host to the Louisburg JV on Thursday at 7 p.m.

HIT AND RUN

uke visits North Carolina tonight for the 228th installment of college basketball’s most storied rivalry. The Tar Heels lead the series 130-97 and have won six of the last seven meetings. But this marks one of the few times the Blue Devils enter ranked in the national polls and the Tar Heels do not. Since 1980, UNC has taken the court against Duke unranked in The Associated Press Top 25 just eight times. The Blue Devils own a 7-1 record in such encounters. Third-ranked Duke won 90-86 in Chapel Hill on Feb. 3, 2000. A month later, the

TOP SCORE

fourth-rated Blue Devils scored a 90-76 victory at Cameron Indoor Stadium. On Jan. 31, 2002, top-ranked Duke romped to an 87-58 triumph at the Smith Center. The third-rated Blue Devils added a 93-68 win at Cameron on March 3 of that year, then nipped the Heels 60-48 in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals five days later. The 2002-03 season saw the other three meetings between a ranked Duke squad and an unranked UNC unit. Ninth-ranked Duke slipped past UNC 83-74 on Feb. 5, 2003. The Tar Heels answered with an 82-79 victory over the No. 10 Blue Devils

on March 9 in Chapel Hill. No. 12 Duke took the rubber match 75-63 on March 15 in the ACC Tournament semifinals. For the record, UNC sports an 11-1 record against Duke since 1980 when the Tar Heels enter ranked and the Blue Devils are unranked. This brief history lesson shows the Tar Heels face a tough challenge. But remember, when fierce rivals collide, you can throw the record books out the window.

For Westchester’s girls, Abby Procton took third in the 500 free. The state meet is set for Feb. 22 in Huntersville.

HIGH POINT – Playing Southwest Guilford has been anything but a cakewalk for High Point Central this season. Despite owning an 18-3 overall record, the Bison have had a difficult time getting a win in the Cowgirls’ gym. Southwest defeated the Bison for a second time Tuesday night and now lays claim to first place in the Piedmont Triad 4A. The Bison started slowly amidst a frigid shooting performance that included 22 missed layups, leading Central coach Kenny Carter to conclude after the game, “If we hit half of our point-blank range shots, we win the game.” Matters grew worse as Southwest jumped to an 11-4 first-quarter lead courtesy of its stellar post play. Cheyenne Parker scored a game-high 17 points to give Southwest what Central lacked: an assertive inside scoring presence. “We have enough players on our team that any one of my girls can have a great night,” Cowgirls coach Jessica Bryan said. “A lot of teams try to take (leading scorer Zena Lovette) out of the game, so it’s crucial to have someone like Cheyenne Parker step up.”

As the Bison settled into its halfcourt offense by passing the ball around the perimeter looking for open shots, the Cowgirls took to the paint, exploiting a sizeable height mismatch. “We may be the smallest team in the state,” said Carter. “There’s a little disparity between a girl that’s 5-7, 140 pounds going to the basket and someone that is five feet tall, so we have to maximize our effort.” Parker and teammate Shannon Buchanan – who had 13 points – not only combined for 30 points, but also played no small part in holding Arielle Harris – one of Central’s most illustrious scorers and the team’s tallest starter – to three points. “Size is definitely an advantage,” Bryan said. “Teams think twice before challenging us at the basket.” The feisty hustle of Central’s backcourt narrowed the margin in the fourth quarter as the Bison closed to within six with three minutes to go, but fell victim to fatigue and fell short in their rally. Southwest improved to 13-6 overall and 8-1 in the league, while Central fell to third in the Piedmont Triad pecking order behind Northwest Guilford at 7-3.

Bison boys topple SWG BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – High Point Central’s boys got off to a fast start Tuesday night and easily dispatched Southwest Guilford 71-57 in their Piedmont Triad 4A Conference matchup. Central’s boys were out and running from the opening tip, as the Bison built a 39-26 halftime lead. They followed the opening act with an even more impressive 24-point effort in the decisive third quarter. “We’ve been looking better lately offensively,” Bison coach Patrick Battle said. “It was just a matter of if we were going to play defense. We hadn’t been stopping anybody, but I thought we did a good job of that tonight.” Central’s offense performed as a well-oiled machine Tuesday. After spending the entire first half pushing the tempo in a full-court frenzy, the Bison showed in the second half they could also slow the pace and execute in the halfcourt. Derek Grant finished with 12 points to lead Central, while Akeem Lang-

ham and Shaq Bethea added 10 apiece. Drew Adams and Sam Eberhart both pitched in eight for the Bison. “I believe everybody has the ability to score,” Battle said. “We just want to put them in good spots. Tonight, everybody did their jobs.” Central’s 13-point halftime lead quickly ballooned to 26 to begin the third quarter thanks to four treys in the first four minutes of the period from Adams, Langham and Eberhart. On the other end, the Cowboys (7-12, 4-4) had some success in putting points on the board when given the chance, but struggled with turnovers throughout which allowed Central to build its lead with the fastbreak. Jalen Kitching had a game-high 14 and Greg Bridges added 12 for Southwest. “We forced a lot of our own turnovers,” Southwest coach Guy Shavers said. “They out-hustled us, they outplayed us. We’re both battling for second place (in the conference). They just wanted it.”

Felton lifts Bobcats over Wizards

CHARLOTTE (AP) – Raymond Felton hit a fadeaway 12-footer with 1.9 seconds left and the Charlotte Bobcats beat the Washington Wizards 94-92 on Tuesday night to snap a three-game losing streak. After Antawn Jamison missed a scoop shot in the lane, the Bobcats got the rebound and didn’t call a timeout. Charlotte’s play broke down, and Felton drove to the left of the lane and let go a shot over Randy Foye’s outstretched arms that swished through. Stephen Jackson scored 22 points for Charlotte. Caron Butler had 23 for the Wizards, who had to stay in Charlotte after the game thanks to another blizzard.

Duke big guys expect big game vs. UNC BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

DURHAM – Tyler Hansbrough again will be a part of the Duke-UNC rivalry tonight, but the Blue Devils needn’t worry. Hansbrough will be on hand for the 9 p.m. tip at the Smith Center to have his jersey retired, the final stamp for a legacy built partially at Duke’s expense. The Blue Devils certainly don’t mind that Hansbrough will be dressed up rather than dressed out, but they feel more suited to tangle with UNC’s inside attack than they have since Hansbrough was just starting his college career. “That’s been a big difference for our team this year overall, but especially when we play them,” Duke senior guard Jon Scheyer said. “Obviously, they have a lot of really good big guys, so to have the bodies that can bang inside and rebound, it takes a lot of pressure off us guards and adds to our team.” For four seasons – long seasons from the Blue Devils’ perspective – Hansbrough was a central figure in the rivalry, putting up 21 points and 11 rebounds a game while winning six of eight meetings against Duke. Hansbrough, however, has gone the way of the NBA, along with three other stars of the 2009 NCAA title team, seeming to take the Tar Heels’ winning ways with them. “He was everybody’s security blanket,” UNC coach Roy Williams said. “When we threw the ball inside, we felt like we were going to get a great opportunity to score or at least get fouled. That was a pretty good luxury.” Minus Hansbrough, the Tar Heels (13-10, 2-6 ACC) still lean heavily on big men. Deon Thompson leads the team in scoring, Ed Davis ranks a close second, and Tyler Zeller (currently injured) is third. No one in Duke’s quartet of big men – Lance Thomas, Brian Zoubek and Miles and Mason Plumlee – ranks even near the top

three in scoring for the No. 8 Blue Devils (19-4, 72), but that doesn’t mean they’re not contributing. “Rebounding and halfcourt defense, they’ve done a really good job in both those areas, and they’ve been pretty good screeners as far as getting our perimeter guys open,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Our two senior guys have done exceptional jobs. I think Lance is having an outstanding year – one of the best defenders in the country, playing all over the place. When he’s out of the game, our team goes down because of his energy, his experience and his leadership.

Strong wind keeps America’s Cup boats off water

Vancouver Games officials confident Cypress ready

VALENCIA, Spain (AP) – Strong wind and rough seas on Tuesday kept Alinghi and BMW Oracle from training the day before the first race of their America’s Cup showdown pitting the fastest, most powerful sailboats ever built. Cup holder Alinghi decided against launching its catamaran, while American challenger BMW Oracle got its trimaran on the water – with president Larry Ellison aboard – but eventually decided to abandon a planned practice. The American challenger had wanted to test some sails, but said conditions made training “too risky.” The first race was called off on Monday because of light, unsteady wind, pushing back the start of the three-race series to today.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) – Vancouver Olympic officials are confident concerns about the warm weather’s effect on conditions at Cypress Mountain soon will be forgotten. Dave Cobb, VANOC’s executive vice president, said Tuesday both the freestyle skiing and snowboarding courses are at an Olympic-quality caliber. And he noted that members of the international media will see that for themselves later Tuesday afternoon.

“I think today, once you get up there, the story of Cypress will change largely from a weather story to an athletic story,” Cobb said. Tuesday marks the second day of freestyle skiing training sessions. VANOC limited access to Cypress on Monday to coaches and athletes. After testing the course, World Cup freestyle ski champion Hannah Kearney said course conditions were “absolutely fine.” The conditions at Cypress have dominated headlines.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) – With more snow in the forecast for the Washington area, Maryland has postponed today’s men’s college basketball game against Virginia. The game will be made up Monday, Feb. 15. The starting time will be announced later. With another severe storm set to hit the area Tuesday, both schools agreed on the postponement. The campus has been closed since Friday because of snow.

(AP) – When the final horn sounded inside Cincinnati’s Fifth Third Arena and Syracuse had yet another road win in the grueling Big East, the Orange were a cinch to move up again in the national rankings. Orange coach Jim Boeheim surely wasn’t thinking about that, though, even if he does have a vote in the coaches’ poll. “He takes it all in stride,” said Boeheim’s wife, Juli. “At home, we are not celebrating. It’s good. It’s all good, but he has got the pedal to the metal. “The intensity is, oh,” Juli said, looking skyward. “This team, everything, I think it’s rejuvenated him.” After rallying without leading scorer Wes Johnson to beat Cincinnati 71-54 on Sunday, just the Bearcats’ second loss in 13 home games, Syracuse (23-1, 10-1 Big East) moved up two slots to No. 2 in the AP Top 25, its highest ranking since a six-week stretch at No. 1 in 1989-90. “We have a good, solid, well-balanced team,” Boeheim said. “That’s really the key.” Nearly seven years removed from guiding Syracuse to its lone national championship, the 65-year-old Boeheim remains focused on the goal at hand – winning the next game – and nothing else. “He wants to win another championship badly,” Juli said.

State Farm says it warned about Toyota

WASHINGTON (AP) – The nation’s largest auto insurer said Tuesday it alerted federal safety regulators in late 2007 about a rise in reports of unexpected acceleration in Toyota vehicles, the latest warning sign to emerge about the massive recall. State Farm insurance said it noticed an tick in reports of unwanted acceleration in Toyotas from its large customer database and warned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in late 2007. NHTSA officials said the report was reviewed and the agency issued a recall later that month.

BRIEFS Japan Airlines rejects Delta

TOKYO – Japan Airlines, wooed for months by Delta Air Lines with promises of cash and a broad global network, spurned the world’s biggest carrier and opted to keep its alliance with American Airlines. The Japanese carrier said Tuesday it will strengthen its partnership with American, and the two airlines will jointly seek antitrust immunity on transPacific routes. The decision brings to an end a fierce tugofwar over Japan’s ailing flagship carrier, which is restructuring under bankrtcy but offers the U.S. airlines access to lucrative Asian routes.

Wholesale inventories decline in December

WASHINGTON – Businesses slashed wholesale inventories sharply in December, a much weaker showing than expected and a troubling sign that companies are still too pessimistic about the economy to begin restocking shelves on a sustained basis. Economists believe that the country won’t be in a sustained recovery until businesses begin restocking their depleted shelves which will mean higher orders to factories and increased demand for manufacturing workers.

Another winter blast boosts heating oil

NEW YORK – Heating oil prices got a boost Tuesday as the second powerful storm in four days threatened to dump more than a foot of snow on the East Coast. Wholesale heating oil prices rose 4.67 cents to $1.9322 per gallon on the New York Mercantile Exchange Tuesday. Also, benchmark crude for March delivery jumped $1.86 to $73.75 a barrel. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

NHTSA received complaints about acceleration problems in Toyota vehicles as early as 2003, and congressional investigators are looking into whether the government missed warning signs of the problems. A congressional hearing into the Toyota recalls planned for today was postponed because of a snowstorm expected to hit the capital. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform said it will hold the Toyota hearing on Feb. 24, the first of three congressional hearings expected to review the

Japanese automaker’s recall of about 8.5 million vehicles globally over floor mats which can trap gas pedals, sticking gas pedals and brake problems. Meantime, Toyota announced early Tuesday it would recall about 437,000 Prius and other hybrid vehicles to fix brake problems. There have been about 200 complaints in Japan and the U.S. about a delay when the brakes in the Prius were pressed in cold conditions and on some bumpy roads. The U.S. government has launched an investigation into the Prius.

In a statement, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Toyota has acknowledged a safety defect by issuing the Prius recall, which includes 133,000 Prius cars and 14,500 Lexus HS250h vehicles in the United States. LaHood said Toyota leaders had assured him they were taking the safety concerns “very seriously” and the transportation agency will “remain in constant communication with Toyota to hold them to that promise.” U.S. owners will start receiving letters about the recall next week.

Coke profit soars NEW YORK (AP) – CocaCola’s strong overseas growth more than made for a weak North American market in the fourth quarter, sending profit 55 percent for the world’s largest beverage maker. The company, whose brands include Sprite and Diet Coke, sold 5 percent more beverages worldwide – with unit case volume sharply in emerging markets like China and India. It also posted solid growth in Latin America. Shares rose $1.86, or 3.5 percent, to $54.51 in morning trading. The only region to report a decline in case volume was North America, which makes about onefourth of the company’s sales. The region reported a 1 percent dropoff in the figure – a sign that those consumers are still wary about

McDonald’s sales rise NEW YORK (AP) – McDonald’s Inc., the world’s largest fastfood chain, said Tuesday a key sales comparison rose 2.6 percent in January, as strong overseas sales more than offset a decline in the U.S. McDonald’s has generally fared well in the recession as customers turned to it for cheap meals, but it has started to feel the pinch more acutely in recent months. It has still outperformed most of

its competitors, who’ve increasingly been pushing value menus and discounts of their own. Sales in stores open at least 13 months fell 0.7 percent in the U.S. and rose 4.3 percent in Europe, Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa. The figure is considered a key indicator of a restaurant chain’s health because it excludes the effects of new restaurants and restaurant closings.

Total sales rose 9.1 percent, including an 0.1 percent decline in the U.S. – which makes about 35 percent of total sales – a 6.7 percent rise in Europe and a 7.2 percent increase in the rest of the world. “The U.S. continues to be impacted by unemployment and aggressive discounting across the industry, but the results outside the U.S. were encouraging,” said Morningstar analyst R.J. Hottovy.

Global outlook boosts stocks

NEW YORK (AP) – The Dow Jones industrial average jumped back above 10,000 on hope that a resolution was near for Greece’s debt crisis. The Dow rose 150 points Tuesday, a day after closing below 10,000 for the first time in three months. The major indexes all gained more than 1 percent. Treasury prices slid as demand for safer investments fell. Global markets bounced back on reports that plans are being developed in the European Union to rescue Greece. That raised hopes that policymakers will take bigger steps to contain debt troubles in other weak European economies including Portugal and Spain. Though Greece’s economy is small, that country’s yawning budget gaps were undermining faith in the euro,

Europe’s common currency. Investors also believed that other countries might have trouble raising money in debt markets, which would hamper efforts to get their economies going again. World stock markets have been tumbling in recent weeks on concerns that debt problems would spread. The euro is still down about 5 percent for the year, but rose for a second day against the dollar as the outlook improved for Greece. Greece took steps Tuesday to calm markets, pledging to slash spending and raise fuel taxes. The European debt problems are the latest obstacle to trip up the stock market after 10 months of steep gains. Stocks began retreating in mid-January after China said it would try to control its

economy to avoid speculative bubbles. Things got worse when President Barack Obama announced plans to curb trading by large financial institutions. “There’s some euphoria that maybe it’s not going to be blowing up,” said Erik Davidson, managing director of investments for Wells Fargo Private Bank in Carmel, Calif., referring to easing fears over Greece. Davidson said some of the market’s slide had been over concern that stocks had risen too far. The problems in Greece provided a handy excuse to sell, he said. Meanwhile, the Dow also got a boost from Morgan Stanley’s upgrade to shares of Caterpillar Inc. It was Morgan’s first upbeat take on the stock in three years.

Mudslide threat forces Californians to evacuate LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE, Calif. (AP) – Homeowners in mud-ravaged foothill towns north of Los Angeles packed their cars and left Tuesday as evacuation orders took hold and a new winter storm arrived. Officials issued evacuation orders for 541 homes on the hillsides of La Canada Flintridge, La Crescenta, Acton and two canyons. Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies went door to door, urging people to leave; those who refused signed waivers acknowledging they were aware of the risk.

Sheriff’s deputies also asked residents to move their vehicles and trash cans away from the streets, where heavy rain on Saturday caused water and rocks to roar through, smashing cars and concrete barriers together. As heavy rain began to fall, the National Weather Service upgraded its previous flash flood watch to a flash flood warning. The warning continued until 5 p.m. for steep slopes of the Angeles National Forest northeast of Los Angeles that were scorched by wildfires last summer and in 2008.

Europe searches for way out of debt crisis

BRUSSELS (AP) – The euro is under siege – and the next few days will be crucial. Financial markets are betting heavily that Greece’s crushing debt could drag down the euro currency and force reluctant EU leaders into an embarrassing bailout. Investors are pressing EU leaders to state clearly what they would do if Greece were to face default – and eyeing up other indebted nations such as Portugal, Spain, Ireland and even richer countries such as Italy

and Belgium. For weeks, EU leaders as well as France and Germany, who would likely lead any rescue, have denied one will be necessary. Their tune appeared to be changing Tuesday, and stock markets in the U.S. and Europe rose on anticipation of some kind of support. Bernard Valero, a spokesman for France’s foreign minister said Tuesday that “we must help” Greece. “It’s about helping a friend ... we are the European family.”
