HIGH POINT – Changes may be coming to a heavily used Hi tran route. Mark McDonald, director of transportation for the city, told the High Point City Council at its meeting Monday that the Westchester Drive bus route, which only picks up passengers on one side of the street, should be split into two bus routes to enhance safety for passengers going to destinations along the Westchester Drive corridor. The changes also would include running the Montlieu Av-

enue route on Saturday, he said. “Ridership is very consistent here. But the stops are only accommodated on one side of the road,” he said. “As a result, many of our riders find themselves having to cross major thoroughfares.” The City Council approved the changes, but the routes will not be altered until more steps are taken, such as the installation of new bus stops. There were no details on what effect the changes would have on other bus schedules or routes. The department of transportation also said it will seek federal funding for an additional bus.

ing and paint testing facility gained permission from the City Council to conduct tests and display test panels at its new property in High Point. Council members approved a special-use permit by an 8-1 vote for Wood Coating Research Group, which will relocate its business to 602 Idol St. The permit allows the company to conduct research, development or testing services in a general business district. Several panels with wood coating and paint samples will be placed outside of the building but within the facility’s fence. The special-use permit was approved under the condition that the pan-

els would be set back at least 15 feet from the curb as to not block traffic at the intersection of Idol Street and Scott Avenue. The company also said odors would not be a problem to surrounding neighbors. “We assure that very little to no odor will be associated with the operation of our facility,” said Ronald Obie, a spokesman for the company who attended the meeting. Obie said the company may install the coating and paint sample panels on the roof of the building in the future for further testing purposes.

Voters head to polls BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Candidates in municipal races throughout the Triad anxiously will be awaiting results from today’s election as thousands of voters head to the polls. According to election officials in Davidson, Guilford and Randolph counties, turnout for early voting, which ended Saturday, has been light. While election officials hope for large crowds at the polls today, they say low turnout often is the case in odd-year elections. “Early voting in an odd year is a different animal than it is in an even year or presidential election,” said Charlie Collicutt, Guilford

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

‘Early voting in an odd year is a different animal than it is in an even year or presidential election.’ Charlie Collicutt Deputy director, Guilford County Board of Elections County Board of Elections deputy director. “We saw over half of the votes cast in the presidential (election) came either through early voting or mail. We aren’t even going to come close to that.” Of the 31,376 registered voters, Davidson County had 703 residents cast their ballots early for this year’s municipal election, according to Ruth Huneycutt, director of Davidson County Board of Elections. Huneycutt said 547 voted early at the Thomasville Public Library. She attributed those numbers to a referendum on the Chair City’s ballot that would change Thomasville’s election system. Patsy Foscue, Randolph County Board of Elections director, said the county had 885 early voters out of the 53,500 who are registered to vote in today’s election. Foscue noted the importance of the municipal elections on why she believes there should be larger turnouts on odd-year elections. “I’d like to see us have a large turnout because these elections do affect everyday life more than any other elections do, but we don’t normally have a good turnout for municipal elections,” she said. Collicutt predicted about 20 percent of Guilford County’s voters would cast their ballots in this year’s municipal election. “There may be some correlation between how many people voted early and how many are going to turn out (today), but a really small number of early voting does not mean the same thing in this election as it did in the presidential election,” he said.

LEXINGTON – For the 2008-09 school year, Davidson County Schools had a high school dropout reduction of 30 percent when compared to the previous school year, according to data presented to the Davidson County Board of Education Monday night. Ben Terrell, the system’s director of student services and organizational research, told the board Davidson County Schools had 103 less dropouts last year compared to the previous year. He said the number of students who did not drop out meant the system did not lose $623,000 in funds. “Our schools are continuing to find every possible way they can to address the conceived part of some students to leave before graduating,” Terrell said. According to Terrell, more than 1,000 high school credits were recovered through the Student Advancement Coach Program between January 2008 and June 2009. In addition, more than 1,245 school days were recovered by 185 high school students through the Alternative Suspension Program during the 2008-09 school year. Terrell also noted that the percent of high school dropouts considered overaged and under-credited dropped at all grade levels. In 2008, 34 percent of 11thgrade dropouts were 19 or older. However, about 6 percent of the 11th-graders were 19 or older for a reduction of 83 percent. For Davidson County Schools’ seven high schools, the system has 56 students who have been identified as potential dropouts. In other business, Jay Temple, Davidson County Schools executive director of auxiliary services, said growth in the Ledford and North Davidson school districts has “flatlined.” Wallburg Elementary School, which had been experiencing overcrowding, has seen a student population decrease, Temple said. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

CAPE MAY, N.J. (AP) – A scallop boat that sank off the New Jersey coast in March, killing six of the seven crew members aboard, may have been doomed by a fatal hitand-run crash on the high seas, the lawyer for its owner said Monday. Stevenson Weeks, the lawyer for Lady Mary owner Royal Smith Sr., said extensive damage to the boat’s rudder, propeller and other equipment indicates that some other vessel crashed into it and kept going. The hearing is to resume this morning. Witnesses are expected to include Royal Smith Sr. of Bayboro, N.C., the boat owner who lost two sons in the tragedy. Weeks said he based his suspicion on “the nature of the damage and the physics involved.” Weeks spoke during a break in a Coast Guard hearing investigating the March 24 sinking of the Lady Mary about 60 miles off the coast of Cape May. He said striking another vessel and leaving the scene can be a crime, just as it is in a motor vehicle. “If you can prove who did it,” he added. “It’s tough.”

Since the hearing began in May, the Coast Guard has heard several theories regarding the cause of the disaster. Besides the possibility of an at-sea collision, the panel also heard the theory that the Lady Mary’s gear may have become tangled on the ocean floor, or with another vessel. As the hearing resumed Monday following a five-month adjournment that allowed divers to retrieve evidence from the wreck, a shipwreck diver testified about finding the body of one of the victims, Tarzon Smith, in the fish hold of the sunken vessel. A survival suit, which protects against hypothermia, was found nearby, out of its packaging. Gatto also testified he found a 6-inch hole punched into the port side of the ship just above the water line, and noted the rear of the boat was damaged, with parts bent inward. “It was crushed in really good,” he said. A key piece of evidence is likely to be the boat’s rudder. Gatto testified that the bent rudder had red paint on its edge, which could suggest a collision with another vessel.

Mega Millions sales poised to start in N.C. RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina lottery players should soon get to take a chance on two more multimillion-dollar jackpots a week without having to drive to Georgia or Virginia. The North Carolina Education Lottery Commission voted Monday to enter the Mega Millions multistate drawing as soon as the end of January. North Carolina already sells Powerball tickets. A cross-selling agreement reached in principal last month between the two state associations

behind Mega Millions and Powerball would bring more potential players for both games, and possibly faster-rising jackpots and more jackpot winners. That would bring as much as $52 million more in North Carolina ticket sales annually, or up to $15 million for education initiatives the lottery supports, according to an analysis performed for the N.C. Education Lottery. During the previous fiscal year, the North Carolina lottery said it generated $411 million

for education based on ticket sales of almost $1.3 billion. “We believe first and foremost that it will raise more money, for we will have four large jackpots to play for, and you can choose anyone you want during the week,” lottery executive director Tom Shaheen said in an interview before the commission voted 8-0 in favor of the agreement during a teleconference. Powerball drawings are on Wednesday and Saturday nights. Mega Millions is played Tuesdays

and Fridays. If the Mega Millions jackpot soars, lottery players on the border with Mega Millions members Virginia and Georgia already can easily drive over the line and play. But there’s no such luck for people living in the middle of North Carolina, Shaheen said. Shaheen, who is also president of the board of directors of the MultiState Lottery Association that runs Powerball, said he’s hopeful ticket vendors can work out details so Mega Millions sales can begin Jan. 31.

WENTWORTH – The death of a Stoneville man in June was the result of gunplay, according to testimony in Rockingham County Superior Court Monday morning. Jeffery Searcy, 48, of 140 Carmel Drive, entered an Alford plea to the charge of voluntary manslaughter in the death of 40-yearold Mark Reno Williams. With the plea, Searcy did not admit guilt but acknowledged there was enough evidence to convict him. Searcy was initially charged with first-degree murder and later seconddegree murder before entering the plea, said defense attorney Jason Ross. Judge L. Todd Burke sentenced Searcy to six

by state weights and measures officials. A Guinness Book of World Records official confirmed the big meatball as a record breaker and presented Mitnitsky with a plaque. The old record of 198.6 pounds was set just over a month ago after Los

Angeles-based talk show host Jimmy Kimmel vowed to beat a record set in Mexico. That record – 109 pounds – was set in August. Mitnitsky said he got involved “to bring the meatball back to the East Coast because that’s where it originated.”

Searcy and Williams were at the home of Herbert Bethea on the day of the shooting, according to statements made in court by Rockingham County District Attorney Phil Berger Jr. Berger said both men had consumed a significant amount of alcohol. Blood tests revealed that Williams had a .27 blood-alcohol content at the time of his death, Berger said. Searcy was not tested because he was not initially considered a suspect. Berger said Searcy gave different stories about what happened, including that Williams had threatened to commit suicide.

Ex-con charged in Mount Airy slayings MOUNT AIRY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A soured love affair may have led an exconvict to gun down four men in the town that inspired the idyllic community of Mayberry on the 1960s TV series â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Andy Griffith Show,â&#x20AC;? police said Monday. Marcos Chavez Gonzalez, 29, was charged with four counts of murder in the slayings late Sunday outside a television store in Mount Airy, about 100 miles north of Charlotte.

The four were shot with a highpowered assault rifle outside Woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s TV, in the shadow of a water tower that says â&#x20AC;&#x153;WelGonzalez come to Mount Airyâ&#x20AC;? and has a picture of Griffith and Opie, his son on the show. Police do not believe the shootings were random. Mount Airy Police Chief Dale Watson

said officers are investigating several leads, including whether it was a contract killing or repercussions from a love affair gone bad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is Mayberry ... Andy Griffithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house is in spitting distance here,â&#x20AC;? said Michael Wood, one of the owners of Woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s TV. The town, population 8,700, has built a tourist trade on nostalgia for the show that continues to thrive in syndication.

Watson identified the victims â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all residents of the town â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as Victor Alfonso Martinez-Jimenez, 22; Javier Manuel Martinez, 21; Juan Manuel Martinez, 26; and Marcos Oviedo Aguliar, 21. Michelle Oviedo, 21, said her boyfriend and brother were among the dead and the alleged shooter is her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boyfriend. She said she was sitting on her porch not far from Woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s TV when she heard the gunshots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I got there, Javier and

my brother were already gone,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were on top of each other.â&#x20AC;? Jose Armando Hernandez, 46, said through a translator that three of the victims were his nephews. He said his family is â&#x20AC;&#x153;destroyedâ&#x20AC;? over the deaths, which he said stemmed from a problem with a woman. Gonzalez was arrested without incident at a motel about 50 miles northeast of the town, Henry County, Va.

Civilian dies in explosion at Fort Bragg FORT BRAGG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Officials say a civilian killed in an explosion at a North Carolina Army post was scavenging for scrap metal when he stepped on a round and it exploded. Fort Bragg officials identified the man killed Friday as 47-year-old Ronnie Blue of Hamlet. They said Monday that another man at the scene was not injured in the explosion, which occurred in the area

that overlooks the range where soldiers practice firing artillery, tank shells and smaller weapons. The post said the men were not Department of the Army employees. Fort Bragg law enforcement officials are investigating the explosion, which occurred at Observation Point 5. The post is home to the Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 82nd Airborne Division and Special Operations Command.

Veterans trip to WW II memorial is special On the morning of Oct. 28, I was watching WXll, reporting on the 103 WW ll veterans as they gathered to take a trip of a lifetime: the “Triad Flight of Honor” a flight to Washington, D.C., to view the WW ll Memorial as well as other military memorials during the day. As I watched the plane taxi out through a beautiful water cannon salute, I had tears for all of them. Their experiences for the day would be unforgettable. Sponsored by the Rotary Club of High Point, I was honored to be on the inaugural flight from the Triad on Oct. 3, 2009, with 100 other veterans. The guardians (mine being Nike Ruden) treated us like royalty; the crowds that greeted us in Washington and on our return trip to Greensboro were overwhelming with their praise and thanks. Of course, it was impossible to control the tears. Only veterans can understand our inability to easily accept thanks for something we had to do.

It’s time to give us your ideas, input One’s expression of thoughts, thanks to the Opinion page, develops ideas from multiple people. Through many opinions we weed out the negative, grasp the positive, and hold fast to the truth. Hope is “desire with expecta-

tion.” Faith is “things hoped for that are not seen and are true.” Therefore, you cannot have faith without hope and you cannot have hope without faith. The Apostle John taught good men cannot do evil and evil men cannot do good; it has become our habit to trust in half words and half truths without consideration of the evil part or the half truths. Truth will always defend itself. You and I are responsible to declare truth. In two opinion letters, Cathy Hinson revealed three Constitutional Rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, we the people, would lose by the proposed Health Care Bill (HR 3200). Also, two more rights will be lost if the proposed “piggy-back” gun bill (HR 45), which is attached to an 1986 IRS bill, is passed. These half truths and whole lies have brought forth the idea that “we the people” need another

movement to stop, limit and force Congress to follow the Constitution. Perry Davis’ letter to organize put works into faith and hope. We propose to put names to faces and faces to names at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Laurel Oaks Ranch Club House, 6200 Old Plank Road, High Point. We need your ideas and input to discuss 12 points to start a national Amendment to enhance and ensure our rights are not destroyed! Please come and call for directions!

Here is a chance to leave legacy

Town Council Mayor Keith Volz, 601 O’Neill Drive, Jamestown 27282; 887-2733 Frank Gray, 110 Mamie Lane, Jamestown 27282; 454-2039

ou may have noticed photographs in The High Point Enterprise that showed workers in the process of cutting down about two dozen huge oak trees in residential front yards along a two-block stretch of Old Winston Road. The trees are being removed to make way for widening of Old Winston Road, relocating power lines, replacing a water line and adding sidewalks. Given the increasing need for photosynthesis (trees and other plants transforming carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar), losing those huge trees (most of them solid all the way through and still thriving) is part of a sometimes hefty price we humans pay for progress. Thanks to the Mid-Week Garden Club, High Point’s Parks & Recreation Department and the Sesquicentennial Committee, at least 150 trees for 150 years are to be planted this month on public lands, public parks and public rights-of-way. In a letter to the editor in July, Mid-Week Garden Club President Dorothy Darr suggested that “you might have been thinking about planting an oak in a corner of your yard, or a dogwood in a shady spot or a red cedar that will feed over 50 varieties of birds and wildlife.” She then suggested, “Do it this year ... plant a tree for (or with) a child ... better still, plant a tree this year for every member of your family” including pets. As she also suggested in her letter, “If every citizen planted just one tree this year, we will have planted more than 100,000 trees.” Don’t miss this opportunity for current generations to leave a blessed legacy.

A QUICK THOUGHT

---

y now, you’ve no doubt turned you clocks back one hour to Eastern Standard Time but did you follow the advice given last week by High Point Fire Department Capt. Denita Lynch? She cautioned you to replace the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and, of course, to test those alarm systems once new batteries were installed. If your alarms are more than 10 years old, have you considered replacing them with more modern versions? Do you even have such alarms in your home? Lynch reminded us that most fire deaths occur in homes where no smoke alarm is present or, if there is such a device, it either has no battery or a dead battery in it. Wise up. If you forgot or simply didn’t take the time to check those alarms, do it today!

Once again, this is not about campaign-finance reform. PeoOPINION ple who assert that are actually making future corruption John more likely, not less likely. Hood Mike Easley was a district ■■■ attorney. He was attorney general of North Carolina for eight years. He was governor for eight years. He knew the laws. He knew the ethical standards. He didn’t get into trouble because the rules were unclear, or because his opponents were better funded, or because he suffered some devastating personal loss that tempted him to accept unreported gifts, consume state resources for personal use, or get his wife a cushy job at N.C. State University. Easley did what he did because he felt entitled. And he figured he could get away with it. If it turns out that he was personally involved in schemes to evade the campaign finance laws, he no doubt figured that North Carolina would be better off if he was in charge of state government and so whatever needed to be done was justified. If limits on campaign donations are further going to try to change the subject. They are tightened, those who feel personally engoing to argue that whatever Mike Easley titled and adhere to ends-justify-the-means and his allies did wrong proves the need ethics will simply find new ways to evade to “banish big money from North Carolina the rules. politics” through tighter campaign-finance If you blame the system rather than the limits and, ultimately, replacing voluntary perpetrator, you’re making excuses for his private funding of campaigns with coercive behavior.

It also served to focus the state’s attention on a single moment in time – Mike Easley’s desperate attempt, broadcast live online and over the air, to save his hide. Speaking just as one member of the audience, I heard a man start out confidently, employ his usual blarney to evade the early questions, and then begin to fall apart. Easley’s charm became smarmy. His bravado became arrogant. His faulty recollections became evasive. I have no way to predict with certainty what happens next. It seems likely that some of the allegations may lead to elections board fines against the Easley campaign, the Democratic Party, or both. It may lead to a referral to law enforcement. Various of the Easley scandals already are under investigation by state and federal authorities. Still, I can offer this prediction: many North Carolina politicians and activists are

Don’t blame the system rather than the perpetrator. That’s making excuses.

Clinton addressed the issue at a news conference in which she called this a pivotal moment for Iran. She told reporters that Iranian acceptance of the deal would indicate Iran does not want to be isolated from the world community. But she quickly added that Iran has already agreed to the deal in principle and that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to use her words â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;we are not altering it.â&#x20AC;?

CDC: Tainted beef may be linked to 2 deaths ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Contaminated fresh ground beef caused a possible E. coli outbreak that killed two people and sent 16 others to hospitals, federal health officials said Monday. Twenty-eight people may have become ill after eating beef produced by Fairbank Farms of Ashville, N.Y., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported. All but three of the suspected infections are in the northeastern U.S.

GOP win today won’t erase party woes WASHINGTON (AP) – For Republicans, an election win of any size today would be a blessing. But victories in Virginia, New Jersey or elsewhere won’t erase enormous obstacles the party faces heading into a 2010 midterm election year when control of Congress and statehouses from coast to coast will be up for grabs. It’s been a tough few years for the GOP. The party lost control of Congress in 2006 and then lost the White House in 2008 with three traditional Republican states – Indiana, North Carolina and Virginia – abandoning the party.

So even if political winds start blowing harder behind them and even if they can capitalize on Democratic missteps, Republicans still will have a long way to go over the next year because of their party’s own fundamental problems – divisions over the path forward, the lack of a national leader and a shrinking base in a changing nation. The GOP would overcome none of those hurdles should Republican Bob McDonnell win the Virginia governor’s race, Chris Christie emerge victorious in the New Jersey governor’s contest, or conservative Doug Hoffman

triumph in a hotly contested special congressional election in upstate New York. In fact, 2009 seems to have underscored what may be the biggest impediment for Republicans – the war within their base. Not that the GOP would casually brush off even a small stack of victories today. One or more wins would give the Republicans a jolt, and a reason to rally in the coming months. Victories certainly would help with grass-roots fundraising and candidate recruiting. And they might just be enough to reinvigorate the party.

Military spouses lobbied for the change. Under current law, service members can choose to keep their original residency as they relocate.

generations of taxpayers who are less wealthy. The bill is funded largely from a 5.4 percent tax on individuals making more than $500,000 a year and couples making more than $1 million, starting in 2011. The tax increase would hit only 0.3 percent of tax filers, raising $460.5 billion

CHICAGO (AP) – Nearly half of all U.S. children and 90 percent of black youngsters will be on food stamps at some point during childhood, and fallout from the current recession could push those numbers even higher, researchers say. The estimate comes from an analysis of 30 years of national data, and it bolsters other recent evidence on the pervasiveness of youngsters at economic risk. It suggests that almost everyone knows a family who has received food stamps, or will in the future, said lead author Mark Rank, a sociologist at Washington University in St. Louis. “Your neighbor may be using some of these programs but it’s not the kind of thing people want to talk about,” Rank said.

HIGH POINT – The Guilford County Board of Commissioners will get a look Thursday at Phillips Hall at High Point University during a rare visit. Officials first announced a session in the Plato S. Wilson School of Commerce ballroom, but moved the 5:30 p.m. meeting to the Francis Lecture Room in Phillips Hall. Parking will be available at the commerce school. HPU President Nido Qubein is scheduled to offer greetings. Commissioners usually do not hold board meetings outside Greensboro because other meeting halls do not have television cameras for live meeting broadcasts on public-access cable television. With a light agenda, commissioners should have time to look at new campus buildings, including the commerce school, opened in the last year as part of a $300 million upgrade. During the meeting, Guilford County Health Director Merle Green will give the board an update on efforts to deal with the spread of swine flu. The board also will consider two equipment grants for Sheriff BJ Barnes. University officials dedicated Phillips Hall in 2007 as the new home for the Earl N. Phillips School of Business. The $24 million project was underwritten in part by a lead gift from Earl N. “Phil” Phillips, Jr. and his children. The school, at the site of the former Memorial Auditorium, is named for Earl N. Phillips Sr., a leading High Point businessman. The 27,000-square-foot structure houses classrooms, computer labs, study rooms, boardrooms and faculty offices.

HIGH POINT – Christian Shepherd’s two young sons may have only visited a few houses on Saturday night in their trick-or-treating escapade, but he knows they brought home more Halloween candy than necessary. That’s why he brought a bag of Tootsie Rolls and Gum Drops to Warr Pediatrics Dental Associates on Monday for the office’s Halloween Candy Buy Back Program. “It’s a good thing to do, and it’s a win-win situation for everyone involved,” said Ali Baldwin, marketing assistant for Warr Pediatrics, about the program. “This is a way for kids not to be stuck with so much leftover candy, so they don’t develop bad diet habits.” The dental office, located at 1008 Hutton Lane, offered $1 for every pound of candy children turned in up to $5. By giving kids an incentive to give up their candy, Baldwin said the buy-back program, a national movement among dentists, was

Founding member of Palestinian Fatah dies RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) – One of the founding members of the long-ruling Palestinian Fatah movement has died in the West Bank at the age of 70. Palestinian officials say Sakher Habash died of a stroke on Sunday. The Fatah-led Palestinian Authority issued a statement mourning his death. Habash helped form Fatah in 1965 and served as a close military aide to the movement’s iconic leader, Yasser Arafat. He spent time in exile with Arafat in Lebanon in the 1970s, and held various top positions within Fatah, including its director of recruitment. Habash was born in 1939 near Jaffa in what is now Israel. His family fled during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war to a refugee camp in the West Bank.

Poll: N.C. residents split on public option ELON (AP) – Three out of four North Carolina residents believe the U.S. health care system needs reform, but they are split on whether that should include a public option, according to a poll released Monday by Elon University. The poll showed that 76.6 percent of respondents believe the health care system needs reform, with 16.4 percent saying the system is fine as is. Another 5.3 percent say something needs to be done but not by the government. It also shows that 54 percent of residents support a public option. Forty-one percent said they would use a public option plan.

Lauer-Richardson’s death is the result of a domestic altercation, JPD Chief Mike Yaniero told reporters last month.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The foundation managing half of North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of the national tobacco settlement violated open meetings laws and could be better protected from investment risk and political influence, State Auditor Beth Woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office said Monday. The audit said the Golden LEAF foundation, which has awarded $393 million in grants to help tobacco-dependent and economically troubled areas since 2000, approved a $15 million investment to lure a beverage company to the state in a 2005 private board meeting that was closed to the public. The Rocky Mount-based foundation is chartered by the Legislature and subject to the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open

meetings law. Auditors said the group also initially failed to provide minutes from 29 of the panelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 429 meetings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a result, operational transparency and the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to monitor the administration of state funds were compromised,â&#x20AC;? the audit said. The auditors decided foundation staff were uncooperative to the point that they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be sure the audit is based on their complete review of records. Foundation President Dan Gerlach said some open meetings mistakes were made but disagreed with Woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;limited scopeâ&#x20AC;? label on the audit. He said auditors arrived just before he became president in October 2008 and as

the foundation tried to protect its assets as financial markets collapsed. Golden LEAF defended its investment practices, saying the foundation has different objectives from other state funds because it awards grants, and it follows a code of ethics when determining how investments are made. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a model conflict of interest policy,â&#x20AC;? Gerlach said in an interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our policy is like that of other foundations.â&#x20AC;? The General Assembly created the Golden Long-term Economic Advancement Foundation in 1999 to distribute half of the $4.6 billion that North Carolina is expected to receive from cigarette companies.

Foam manufacturer Perdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communications director resigns post to bring 70 jobs to N.C.

Palziv North America said Monday it will open a North American headquarters and facility in Louisburg. The company, which makes foam for packaging, insulation, toys

Palziv North America is owned by Palziv LTD in Israel. It has facilities in Ohio, and in Canada, Israel, Romania. Louisburg is about 30 miles north of Raleigh.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Republican congresswoman said Monday that people have more to fear from Democratic health care legislation than from terrorists. Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina made the comments in a speech on the House floor Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that the greatest fear that we all should have ... to our freedom comes from this room, this very room, and what may happen later this week in terms of a tax increase bill masquerading as a health care bill,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe we have more to fear from the potential of that bill passing than we do from any terrorist right now in any country.â&#x20AC;? The Democratic-controlled House is expected to vote later this week on the sweeping health care overhaul legislation that would extend coverage to millions of the uninsured. Foxx said it was scary because it would raise taxes, increase the power of federal bureaucrats and force people to buy government-mandated coverage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; among other things. The Democratic National Committee denounced her comments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is outrageous that anyone would compare the action of terrorists to efforts to help American families get secure, stable and affordable health insurance,â&#x20AC;? said DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse.

Displays of affection between parents, kids win praise

ear Abby: Thank you for your response to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alarmed in Apple Valleyâ&#x20AC;? (Aug. 28), who was concerned because her teenage nephew shows so much affection toward his mother. I raised a very affectionate son who, to this day at age 30, hugs and kisses me no matter where we meet. I raised him with the principle that because he is male does not mean he has to hide his feelings as generations before him did. My daughter-in-law tells me often that she could not ask for a better husband and father to her children. Americans coddle girls when they hurt, but a boy is supposed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;take it like a manâ&#x20AC;? and not express his feelings. I am pleased to know other mothers out there are also raising their sons to be well-rounded, emotionally healthy men. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Proud Mom Of A Navy Son Dear Proud Mom: I advised the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alarmedâ&#x20AC;? aunt that she was off base in her concerns, and the majority of readers who wrote to comment agreed. Read on: Dear Abby: Have we become so cynical in this day and age that genuine affection is looked upon as dirty and unsavory? How sad! My 22-year-old daughter hangs on me and smooches me (and her father and grandparents)

in public. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great feeling for parents to know their kid loves them and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t embarADVICE rassed to be seen with Dear them. (Too Abby many of â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; them are.) The aunt who complained about her nephew kissing his mother on the cheek and putting his arm around her may have intimacy problems that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s projecting onto her sister. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Leslie In Selma, Calif. Dear Abby: I was never prouder of my son than when a friend of his said to him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You hug your mom in public?â&#x20AC;? (It was after a game.) I was the one to hold back in public because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to embarrass my son who was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;big guy on campus.â&#x20AC;? My boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple reply to his friend was, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you?â&#x20AC;? It was never questioned again. No child should ever feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong to show affection to his or her parents. For me, having a 15-year-old who wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t embarrassed to be seen with his mother was huge. I agree with you, Abby. Some people read evil into everything and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Karin In Chelmsford, Mass. Dear Abby: Your response to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alarmedâ&#x20AC;? included a French saying

that translates â&#x20AC;&#x153;Evil be he who thinks evil of it.â&#x20AC;? That saying originated in England, where the highest, most ancient order of knighthood is the Order of the Garter. Around 1340, King Edward III was dancing at a formal ball with the Countess of Salisbury. During the dance, she dropped her garter. The king picked it up, put it on his own leg, looked at the others present and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honi soit qui mal y penseâ&#x20AC;? (Shame on him who thinks evil of it), then gallantly returned it to her. Margaret Murray writes in her 1931 book â&#x20AC;&#x153;The God of the Witchesâ&#x20AC;? that it would have taken more than a dropped garter to embarrass a woman in the 14th century. The garter was probably a ritual one, signifying that the countess was a pagan leader -- a priestess of witchcraft. To drop the garter before the high dignitaries of the church could certainly have caused embarrassment. Edwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smart gesture in placing it on his own leg not only saved face for the countess but demonstrated his willingness to be a leader of the pagan population of England as well as the Christian. So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard ... â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mark D.

t can happen in a second. A loved one, family member or friend can experience a traumatic health event which has the potential to change their life forever. Whether experiencing a stroke, motor vehicle accident, serious fall or some other injury, the trauma of such events, both physically and emotionally, can often be life-altering. One of the most universal human traits is the need to function independently. Traumatic illness or injury may put that independence at risk, leaving one incapable of returning home, requiring lifelong assistance at great cost in money and resources. Thankfully, scattered across the United States are more than 1,000 specialized health-care units, called inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs). The mission of the IRF is to return patients admitted there home or to a homelike environment at the most independent level possible. IRFs are special places. Once patients receive necessary medical care in an acute setting and are stable, they may be admitted to an IRF. There they will continue to receive medical care, but will also benefit from intensive three hours of therapy per day, five days per week. After a complete assessment, the IRF patient will, under the supervision of a specially trained physician, participate in individualized therapy from licensed physical, occupational and speech therapists. Even the nursing care IRF patients receive is provided by specially trained rehab nurses. The goal of an IRF is not â&#x20AC;&#x153;to doâ&#x20AC;? for a patient, but to teach the patient and caregivers to do for themselves. The IRF is a unique setting where physicians, nurses and therapy staff work as a true team to assist patients in accomplishing that which they may not have thought possible. If you or your loved one experiences a life-changing health crisis, ask your physician whether an IRF might be appropriate. High Point Regional Health Systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inpatient rehab center is a CARF-accredited 16-bed unit. For more information, contact Susan Anderson at (336) 878-6000, Ext. 3232.

Medicine overuse can bring daily headaches

ear Dr. Donohue: Our 16-year-old daughter has been battling daily headaches for the past 18 months. She says the pain is at her temples and across her forehead, and the pain level is six out of 10 on a pain scale. A neurologist, an ear, nose and throat doctor, a chiropractor, a pediatrician, an orthodontist and a dentist cannot find a reason for the pain. She has been on numerous medicines, including migraine medicines, and has stopped using them because of their ineffectiveness and side effects. Biofeedback was not helpful. Her neurologist prescribed a new medicine. If she were your daughter, where would you look for a solution? – S.M.

More than 300 causes of headaches exist, but, for most, the kinds of headache can be reduced to four or five causes: migraine, cluster, tension, induced by physical exertion and medicine overuse. Tension headaches – the most common kind, and the kind that more or less fits your daughter’s description – are felt on both sides of the head. People describe the pain as a squeezing, tight band. Any part of the head, including the back of the neck, can be involved. Stress and lack of sleep often bring them on, but frequently, no cause is found. Activity, like walking up and down stairs, doesn’t make the

pain worse, as it does with other headaches. Tension headaches may make p e o p l e HEALTH sensitive to light or Dr. Paul sound, but Donohue not to both. ■■■ Standard medicines like Tylenol, aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs regularly bring relief, but I don’t want to suggest medicines for your daughter. She has had plenty. Overuse of headache medicines often can lead to daily headaches, which stop only when medicines are stopped. I know your daughter put an end to her medicine-taking for a while, but did she do so long enough? It can take two weeks to get over the medicines. Some have to be tapered. This is something to consider. What would I do if this young lady were my daughter? I’d take her to a large medical center, like the medical school of your state. She is seeing a competent neurologist, but at a large center, a team of neurologists can put their heads together and come up with a new diagnosis and new treatment plan. Has your daughter had any imaging tests, like brain scans? I’m sure she has, but I want to mention them to anticipate reader curiosity. The headache booklet details the problems of the more common head-

aches and their treatments. To order a copy, write: Dr. Donohue – No. 901, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. Dear Dr. Donohue: I just read your article on sodium and am confused. I have Meniere’s disease, and all my doctors told me to stay away from sodium – salt. Is blood sodium different? – E.S. Meniere’s disease is an inner-ear problem that brings episodes of dizziness, hearing loss and ear noises (tinnitus). One treatment is a very-lowsodium diet. That’s done to get rid of the excessive inner-ear fluid that causes the symptoms. Blood sodium is a different matter and is kept at optimal levels by several mechanisms. If you are worried that your blood sodium will drop due to your low-sodium diet, don’t be. It won’t fall below normal values. To set the record straight, sodium, sodium chloride and salt are one and the same – for our purposes, anyway. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

LONDON – Elton John has been hospitalized after suffering from a case of E. coli bacterial infection and the flu, his spokesman said Monday. Gary Farrow said the pop star hopes to be released soon but has been forced to cancel concerts in England, Ireland and the United States. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Russian rarity sells for $1.3 million in NYC NEW YORK (AP) – A miniature portrait of Czar Peter the Great in a diamond-encrusted frame – owned for decades by an Arizona family that didn’t realize its historic significance – has been auctioned for $1.3 million.

Sotheby’s auction house says the 18th-century Russian treasure was purchased Monday by an anonymous telephone bidder for 10 times its pre-sale estimate of $120,000. The estate of the original owner, George Roberts, learned of its im-

portance during an appraisal over the summer. Roberts purchased it in 1951 from a London dealer. Experts believe that as few as 10 of the bejeweled miniatures were bestowed by Peter the Great on his subjects.

Robert F. Kennedy’s killer is moved to new site LOS ANGELES (AP) – An attorney for the man who assassinated Robert F. Kennedy said on Monday that his client was transferred from a prison that houses high-risk of-

fenders to a new facility where his life could be in danger. Attorney William F. Pepper said Sirhan Sirhan opposed the move from the state prison in Corcoran,

which houses high-risk prisoners such as Charles Manson, to Pleasant Valley State Prison in Coalinga. “Our main concern is for his safety,” said Laurie Dusek, an associate of

Pepper. “We are not sure that Pleasant Valley has the ability to protect him. He is a target.”

LOS ANGELES – The first interview with Rihanna about Chris Brown’s assault on her is airing this week on ABC. The network says the pop star’s one-on-one with Diane Sawyer will air Thursday and Friday on “Good Morning America” and Friday evening on the news magazine “20/20.”

HOUSTON (AP) – Enron’s former broadband finance chief received one year’s probation, including nine months’ home confinement, for falsifying books. Kevin Howard’s sentence Monday came under a deal with prosecutors for his June 1 guilty plea. According to the Justice Department, Howard could have received up to 12 months’ home confinement under the plea deal. Prosecutors had asked U.S. District Judge Vanessa Gilmore for leniency in the sentence. They said Howard didn’t benefit personally from any fraud committed at Houston’s Enron, which collapsed in December 2001 under the weight of faked accounting.

Man creates ‘green’ prototype of popular Christmas decoration BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

REENSBORO – If you’ve ever seen the annual display of Christmas lights in Greensboro’s Sunset Hills neighborhood, you understand the beauty that inspired Harry Sanders. Sanders and his wife, Marta, who live in Asheboro, drove through the popular display one night about four years ago and

‘When you drive through and see them up in the trees, it’s like you’re looking closeup at a million stars. It’s just amazing.’ Harry Sanders ECO Cosmic Ornaments inventor were mesmerized by the magical sight of hundreds of colorfully lighted Christmas balls hovering in the trees, not unlike stars suspended in the night sky. “Boy, those are really nice,” Sanders told his wife. “I believe we’re gonna have to make some of those for our house.” Easier said than done, though. First, the lighted globes are made by fashioning chicken wire into

a perfect sphere, then wrapping it with strings of holiday lights. “Well, it’s very hard to cut chicken wire and form it as a ball, and it’s also very hard to string incandescent lights on chicken wire,” Sanders explains. “The chicken wire really tears up your hands, so we didn’t make very many.” But Sanders, who fancies himself as an entrepreneur, figured there had to be a better way ... so he decided to come up with one. The result? ECO Cosmic Ornaments, which offer all the beauty of the lighted Christmas balls, but without the ornery chicken wire. Sanders’ invention is also collapsible – storing the chicken-wire spheres had been another problem – and it’s environmentally friendly. The Cosmic Ornaments are 10- and 13-inch balls, made of heavy-duty, inflatable plastic that has built-in loops for covering the ball with strands of holiday lights. They come in five color varieties – blue, green, red, white and multi-colored. “We were able to develop this thing so that it’s extremely bright and pretty, it’s collapsible, it’s friendly with the environment, and it uses virtually no electricity,” says Sanders, who will introduce the Cosmic Ornaments at this weekend’s Holiday Market in Greensboro. According to Sanders, he first tried using incandescent lights on his prototypes, but they used nearly 85 watts of energy.

Inspired by an annual display of Christmas lights in Greensboro, ECO Cosmic Ornaments are 10- and 13-inch balls made of heavy-duty, inflatable plastic that come in five colors. “That’s a lot of energy for Christmas decorations, so we started looking at LED’s,” which consume far less energy, he says. “We use 150 LED lights on the 13-inch ball, and that uses less than five watts of energy per ball – that’s less than a night-light. The 10-inch balls have 75 lights and use less than three watts of energy per ball.” In addition, because the balls consume so little electricity, you can put up a lot of them without exceeding the electrical rating of the extension cord, Sanders says. “Another benefit of LED lights is that when one bulb goes out, the entire string does not go dark,” he adds. “That means a great deal when you have these things hanging 80 feet off of the ground in a tree.” Sanders named his invention Cosmic Ornaments because of their out-of-this-world beauty. “We tried to describe what it’s like and came up with ‘cosmic,’ ” he explains. “When you drive through and see them up in the trees, it’s like you’re looking close-up

may even be getting phone calls from recruiters wondering if you and your child will be attending their open house. Marie Carr has been through all this three times, and this year she published a book about the process, with her three daughters’ help, called “Sending Your Child to College: The Prepared Parent’s Operational Manual.” “It’s not about nagging,” she said. “It’s about trying to help them organize and prepare, and scale this big project down into manageable bits.”

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

One approach to keeping track of all the options and deadlines is to create a graph, spreadsheet or folders that you can look at together. “Kids do really well when they have visuals,” she said. Carr’s book has sample checklists and charts that you can use or adapt, but if you’re making one up from scratch, be sure to include teacher recommendations, resumes, essays, interviews, test dates, application deadlines and other requirements for each school on the list.

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro will mark one of the most pivotal events of the 20th century – the fall of the Berlin Wall – with a symposium exploring the long-lasting effects on Germany. The event, “20 Years Fall of the Wall: Germany, Sustainable Democracy?,” will be held Nov. 6, from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., in the UNCG Faculty Center on College Avenue. The event is free and open to the public. The symposium will feature talks from a number of UNCG scholars, including Chancellor Linda P. Brady, on life before and after the fall of the wall. The event will end with a reception and book-launching party at 4:30 p.m. The day’s scheduled lectures include: • “After the Fall: Late Globalization and Paradigm Shift in Post-Cold War U.S. Culture.” • Panel discussion: “Humor, Satire and Identity: Post-Unification Eastern German Literature,” “Sharing Illusions of Achieving Common Ground? An Ecofeminist Reading of Christa Wolf’s Work,” and “Germany: Immigration and Integration after the Wall.” • Panel discussion: “Arms Control in the Post-Cold World War” and “The Berlin Wall, the End of History and Its Return.” • Panel discussion: “The Final Collapse of the Second Ring of Soviet Empire: Gorbachev and the Recurrent ‘Problem’ of Communist Liberalization in Eastern Europe,” “20 Years On, ‘Blooming Landscapes’ in Eastern Germany?” and “German Educational Reform: Understanding Bologna.” For more information, visit www.uncg. edu/gar/wall/.

An office manager who plays at my club asked if I knew much about probabilities. “All I know,” he said, “is that the chance my alarm won’t go off is proportional to the importance of my 8 a.m. meeting.” My friend was declarer at 6NT, and West led the queen of diamonds. South counted 11 tricks. For one more, he could try for a second heart trick, a fourth spade, or even for a 3-3 split in diamonds. “I took the king of diamonds and led a heart to my ten,” South said. “That lost to the jack, and I wound up going down.”

NINE OF SPADES If I do a column about probabilities, it’s probable that some mathematician will write in to correct my figures. But I think South should win the first diamond with the ace and take the A-K of spades. When West’s ten falls, South forces out East’s jack to establish the nine. Even if East-West followed low to the A-K of spades, South would continue spades. He would win four spade tricks about 75 percent of the time. His actual play was worse.

Protect your assets and offer suggestions, not cash, to those asking for your help. A past acquaintance will challenge you emotionally. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t make any hasty decisions regarding home and family. Stick to your original game plan and let everyone else take care of his or her own business. You will be lead astray if you believe everything you are told. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Keep things simple.

Gains can be made and contracts negotiated in your favor. Don’t let your personal responsibilities restrict you from getting ahead. ★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Acting on impulse will not help your situation at home, at work or financially. Someone who knows the ropes and could alter your course of action will question you. Budget and avoid unwarranted stress. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Being upfront will get you what you want in the end. You don’t have to make friends – just prove your point and you will advance. Someone will be jealous of you. Detail, precision and dedication will lead to your victory. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Stop being so hard on yourself and the ones you love. Everything will work out if you focus on what you can do instead of what you cannot. Some worthwhile changes made at home could save you money. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Study the facts and hold off making a move that can upset your emotional well-being and home life. Interact with creative people with similar interests for insight in resolving a problem you face with a friend, relative or partner. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t let anyone make you look bad. Stick up for what you have done in the past and what you plan to do in the future. A relationship with someone you meet while volunteering your services will turn out to be beneficial. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Making some changes at home will allow you to take care of both personal and professional needs with greater ease. Stick to your budget. You can get what you want for a lot less if you do your research. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your emotions will lead you in the wrong direction. If someone is trying to upset you, question whether or not this person should be in your life or not. Don’t settle for someone or something for the wrong reason. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Before you fall for a situation that isn’t likely to pan out, do your homework. A false sense of what you have will lead to an expensive lesson. Listen to common sense being offered by someone who has business savvy. ★★★★

Donkey basketball? Believe it! BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – The High Point Junior Chamber – better known as the Jaycees – and T. Wingate Andrews basketball team are getting together this weekend to put together “the wildest and funniest show on Earth.” Yes, donkey basketball is coming to High Point. As the Jaycees and Red Raiders have put it, everyone can decide “who makes a jackass out of whom” when it’s all said and done. “We’re still skeptical how it’s going to work,” admitted An-

drews boys coach James Abell. “We’re hoping to get some interest, have people come out and get a good laugh.” The concept certainly is humorous enough. This Saturday at 7 p.m., donkeys will be hitting the Raiders’ court. One team will pit Andrews administrators, coaches and teachers. Members of the local police, fire and sheriff’s departments also will be competing. They’ll all be riding donkeys and trying to put the ball in the basket. The donkeys wear special shoes to avoid damaging the floor, and the hilarity comes as some donkeys attempt to buck their

riders and others refuse to move a muscle despite being specially trained for the game. “I don’t know if we’ve got to sign waivers,” Abell said with a laugh. “There’s a special person to clean up after them after each accident – we don’t know who’s in charge of that.” The in-game comedy will be interrupted only by a halftime show that promises to bring even more laughter. They Jaycees are promoting the event as a fun-filled night for the entire family. Tickets cost $8 at the door or $5 in advance, while children 5 and under are free. Advance tickets can

be purchased at any High Point Bank location or at the Andrews main office. Proceeds for the event will support local charity projects of the Jaycees as well as the boys basketball team’s Florida trip. The Raiders will play in Kissimmee – just outside Disney World – at a tournament from Dec. 26-29. “The players helped out with the boat drags as a fundraiser with the Jaycees and we were thinking of other ideas,” explained Abell, who plans to participate Saturday. “We heard it worked good, raised money for teams elsewhere, so we decided to give it a try.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Wake’s Skinner questionable for Saturday BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – Wake Forest quarterback Riley Skinner, who was sidelined when he suffered a concussion on Saturday, did not practice on Monday as a precautionary measure while his status for the Deacons’ game this weekend at Georgia Tech remained uncertain. “He hasn’t showed any symptoms of a concussion today,” Wake Forest spokesman Steve Shutt said. “But the doctors want to go real slow with this.” Skinner was injured when he took a vicious hit that knocked off his helmet and cracked its face mask with just over six minutes to play in Saturday’s 28-27 loss to Miami . Skinner took the lick while scrambling for a first down. He never lost consciousness, but got up woozy. He went to the sidelines, was examined by the team’s medical staff and not allowed to return. After the game, he underwent tests at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center that determined he did suffer a concussion. Shutt said there is no deadline for giving Skinner clearance to play in Saturday’s game against the Yellow Jackets. Skinner must have approval from a physician. “It’s just a day-today thing,” Shutt said. Ryan McManus finished the Miami game in Skinner’s place and as the usual No. 2 on the depth chart would appear to be the logical choice to start if Skinner can’t. Shutt said that “would be the assumption since he came in against Miami” but that it had not formally announced. The action against Miami marked the second time that redshirt senior McManus has gotten into a game at quarterback for Wake. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Down, but not out Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme grimaces after being injured in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals in Glendale, Ariz. Delhomme sat out the fourth quarter with a chest injury, but the Panthers still defeated the Cardinals 34-21. Delhomme expects to play Sunday at New Orleans. See more on the Panthers on 3D.

Duke’s Singler makes AP preseason All-America THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Luke Harangody should get used to being on top of lists. The senior forward from Notre Dame was the leading vote-getter Monday on The Associated Press’ preseason All-America team, and if he has the type of season he usually does, he will become the leader for his school and conference in scoring and rebounding. The 6-foot-8 Harangody received 57 votes from the 65-member national media panel and was followed in the balloting by Kansas teammates Cole Aldrich and Sherron Collins. They are the sixth set of teammates selected for the preseason team, which began in 1986-87, and the second from Kansas, joining Raef LaFrentz and

Paul Pierce in 1997-98. Aldrich, a 6-11 junior who recorded a tripledouble in the NCAA tournament, received 49 votes, 10 more than Collins, a senior point Singler guard. Junior forwards Patrick Patterson of Kentucky, who had 35 votes, and Kyle Singler of Duke, who had 30, rounded out the team announced Monday. Harangody averaged 23.3 points and 11.8 rebounds last season, the only player to rank in the top 10 nationally in both categories. He was a preseason All-American in 2008-09 and was selected to the second team after the season. Aldrich and Cole are the first team-

Blue Devils take tonight’s exhibition seriously. 3D mates chosen to the preseason team since J.J. Redick and Shelden Williams of Duke in 2005-06. The 6-9 Patterson averaged 17.9 points and 9.3 rebounds for the Wildcats last season and he’s expected to be more of an inside presence this season with the addition of freshman point guard John Wall to new coach John Calipari’s offense. Singler averaged 16.5 points and 7.7 rebounds last season for the Blue Devils but his role should change to more of a perimeter one this season.

ECU looks to pull another upset of Hokies GREENVILLE (AP) – East Carolina is running out of chances to knock off the big boys on its schedule. In recent years, the chip-on-theirshoulder Pirates made headlines by upsetting West Virginia, North Carolina and Virginia Tech – and that program-validating stretch of games in 2007 and ’08 wound up making

Skip Holtz’s team a target this year. The Mountaineers and Tar Heels already exacted their revenge two months ago, so this week Holtz is hoping for a strong showing against the 22nd-ranked Hokies to avoid an 0-3 finish against teams from the six major BCS conferences. He’s certain that Virginia Tech re-

members the decidedly un-Beamerlike way they lost to the Pirates last year. Holtz predicted that Greenville “will come alive a little bit” for the Pirates’ first Thursday night home game since 2001 and their first visit from the Hokies since Michael Vick visited town in 2000.

HIT AND RUN

---

t seems unlikely that a team riding a 16game regular-season winning streak can fly under the NFL radar. But that’s just what the Indianapolis Colts are doing. With Brett Favre grabbing the spotlight nearly every week for the 7-1 Minnesota Vikings, the Colts rarely draw national headlines. Indy improved to 7-0 with Sunday’s hard-

fought 18-14 comeback victory over San Francisco. The Colts secured their 16th straight regular-season win – just the eighth time that’s happened in league history – and are the last undefeated team in the AFC for the fourth time in the past five seasons. Jim Caldwell became the first rookie head coach since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to win his first seven games. Indy owns a comfortable 21⁄2 game lead over

Houston in the AFC South standings and can pad that cushion with a victory over the visiting Texans on Sunday. Yet for all that success, the Colts somehow seem to stay hidden in the heartland. That will change if Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, Bob Sanders and company keep rolling.

WHO’S NEWS

---

The Oakland Raiders enter their bye week in similar fashion to the way they started their season: coming off a close loss to the San Diego Chargers and with more allegations being thrown at coach Tom Cable. What happened between a 24-20 seasonopening loss to San Diego and Sunday’s 24-16 defeat has been more dysfunction around the NFL’s worst team over the past seven seasons. The Raiders (26) have lost four games by at least 20 points, have taken dramatic steps back offensively and have been in the news for all the wrong reasons. Cable was accused in training camp of assaulting defensive assistant Randy Hanson and breaking his jaw. More allegations trickled out throughout the season before Cable was officially cleared by the Napa County district attorney late last month. Soon after, Cable was hit with allegations that he has a history of violent behavior toward women. His first wife, Sandy Cable, and a former girlfriend, Marie Lutz, said in separate interviews on ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” that the first-year head coach physically abused them at various times. Cable acknowledged striking Sandy Cable with an open hand in a statement Sunday.

Duke’s Lewis top ACC weekly award winners GREENSBORO (AP) — The Atlantic Coast Conference has honored a pair of Coastal Division quarterbacks who led their teams to come-from-behind victories. The ACC on Monday named Miami’s Jacory Harris and Duke’s Thaddeus Lewis as its co-offensive backs of the week. They were joined by Duke kicker Will Snyderwine and receiver Connor Vernon, Florida State guard Rodney Hudson, North Carolina defensive tackle Tydreke Powell and Boston College defensive back Luke Kuechly. Harris’ third touchdown pass of the day came with 1:08 remaining and helped the Hurricanes rally past Wake Forest 28-27. Lewis threw the go-ahead 42-yard scoring pass to Vernon with 3:45 to play in the Blue Devils’ 2817 win at Virginia.

BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) — Hall of Famer Bill Walton won’t return as an analyst for ESPN’s NBA coverage. Walton said in a statement Monday that “it is time to dedicate the rest of my life to service.” He missed most of last season while recovering from back surgery. Walton calls his battle with back problems a “life-changing ordeal.” Walton had worked for the network since the start of its NBA coverage during the 200203 season.

Wadkins, Olazabal inducted into Hall of Fame ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (AP) — Lanny Wadkins, Jose Maria Olazabal and Christy O’Connor Sr. were inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame on Monday night, a reward for hundreds of international victories and stellar performances under intense pressure in the Ryder Cup. Joining them posthumously was President Dwight Eisenhower, whose love of golf has been credited for a surge in interest in the game while he was in office from 1952-1960. The number of people who took up golf in those years more than doubled, and golf historians credit a good portion of that surge to Eisenhower’s visibility in playing the sport. Eisenhower was said to have played golf more than 800 times during his eight years as president, and was a member of the Augusta National Golf Club. He became the first U.S. President to be a member of the Hall of Fame. Wadkins, the son of a Richmond, Va., truck driver, won the U.S. Amateur title while at Wake Forest, then joined the PGA Tour and won 21 times, including the 1977 PGA Championship and the 1979 Players Championship. He was 20-11-3 in the Ryder Cup and is tied with Palmer for the most doubles victories. Olazabal first played golf at the age of 2, encouraged by his father, a greenskeeper at a public course in the Basque region of Spain. Olazabal was 18-8-2 in the Ryder Cup, and won the Masters in 1994 and 1999. The most emotional point of the night came when Olazabal’s mentor and Ryder Cup teammate, Seve Ballesteros, made the presentation speech for Olazabal on a video. Ballesteros has been battling brain cancer since December 2008 and was unable to travel.

Penske turns to Keselowski for rest of season MOTORSPORTS NOTEBOOK:

rad Keselowski won’t have to wait until the end of the season in three weeks to take over as driver of Penske Racing’s No. 12 in the Cup Series. Team owner Roger Penske announced Monday that Keselowski will replace David Stremme as the team’s driver beginning with this week’s race at Texas. “Penske Racing wants to give Brad an opportunity to work with the team and get to know the race car as we prepare for the 2010 season,” Penske said. “These three races will provide a good base for Brad and the team as we head into next year. Penske Racing also thanks David Stremme for his contributions to the team this year. We wish David the very best moving forward.” Keselowski signed on with Penske earlier this year when it became apparent that he wouldn’t move into a Cup ride at Hendrick Motorsports in 2010, after driving for Hendrick ally JR Motorsports fulltime in the Nationwide Series and for Hendrick and Hendrick assisted teams occasionally in the Cup Series. He became a hot commodity when he

won the spring race at Talladega in a Hendrick car fielded by car owner James Finch. In 12 Cup races this season, Keselowski owns four top-10 finishes. Stremme failed to finSPORTS ish in the top 10 in his 33 starts for Penske. He was Greer a test driver for Penske Smith last year, then moved ■■■ into the No. 12 when Ryan Newman departed to drive for buddy Tony Stewart at Stewart-Haas Racing.

ing the right button. He’s told me that everyone is motivated differently. But, he’s become a good friend of mine in the last year. He’s learned to push the right button.” Sunday’s victory was McMurray’s second in Roush’s cars. The other was at Daytona in 2007. “The performance hasn’t been what I think either of us expected coming in,” McMurray said. “It just hasn’t been as good as it needed to be.” McMurray is rumored to be one of the drivers being considered to replace Martin Truex Jr. at Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing. Bobby Labonte is also speculated to be in contention.

ALSO MOVING Jamie McMurray and Jack Roush were all smiles after winning Sunday at Talladega, even as they lamented that McMurray will be the odd man out when NASCAR rules force Roush to cut from five teams to four at the end of the season. McMurray said they weren’t so chummy after he joined Roush in 2006. “My first year, Jack was mean to me would be the easy way to put it,” McMurray said. “He just wasn’t push-

GOOD START Roush was pleased with the performance of the new generation Ford engine as it made its debut Sunday. Roush put the engine in his cars driven by Matt Kenseth and David Ragan. Kenseth pushed McMurray to the lead late and was in position to pick up a top-five finish before he had to pit for fuel with two laps to go and finished 24th. Ragan wound up 17th. “All the engineering that’s gone into

that engine is the best I’ve ever seen, so I was confident of that,” Roush said. “I was most nervous about the mechanically driven fuel pump. All the teams have these rear-mounted, cable-driven fuel pumps; and I was afraid that we would break a chain or cable. “We didn’t get the fuel mileage out of it that we did the (cars with the old engine) but that was not anything inherent in the engine. That was a fear of what it might do. We will be more aggressive for the Daytona 500.”

SPEED BUMPS NASCAR put the new generation Nationwide Series car through its first paces at a restrictor-plate track at Talladega Superspeedway. Two Mustangs from Ford, one Dodge Challenger, four Chevys and one Toyota participated in single-car runs. The new car is to debut in July at Daytona. ... A two-day Goodyear tire test, with about a dozen Cup teams participating, began Monday at Daytona International Speedway. ... One-time Cup driver Bobby Hillin Jr. is back in Randy MacDonald’s car for the Nationwide race Saturday at Texas. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Banged-up Delhomme gets support CHARLOTTE (AP) – DeAngelo Williams was dominant and set a team record, Julius Peppers was spectacular and Sherrod Martin came out of nowhere to produce two of Carolina’s six forced turnovers. Yet the game ball from the Panthers’ surprisingly easy 34-21 win over Arizona Sunday went to the guy who spent the fourth quarter getting a CT scan: embattled quarterback Jake Delhomme. “That one is for No. 17,”

backup QB Matt Moore said. Delhomme was back at Bank of America Stadium on Monday to watch the film of the unlikely victory. Coach John Fox said Delhomme has “some soreness, but feels good” after his chest injury and subsequent hospital visit. Delhomme should be ready to start Sunday at New Orleans. Meanwhile, his teammates finally did enough so Delhomme could just manage the game and not

have to win it himself. Delhomme entered the game with an NFL-high 13 interceptions. Three hours later, Delhomme had his first turnoverfree game of the season and the Panthers forced Kurt Warner into five interceptions and a lost fumble. Williams had a careerlong 77-yard run on the way to a 158-yard day that moved him past DeShaun Foster as the franchise’s all-time leader in yards rushing.

Confident Tar Heels eye Blue Devils BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

CHAPEL HILL – Four days after a stunning victory over Virginia Tech, North Carolina quarterback T.J. Yates said Monday he could sense a different mood around the Tar Heels. The junior signal-caller said the team is brimming with confidence, unlike a week ago when UNC blew an 18-point lead in a disappointing loss to Florida State. “We have a little bit different excitement at practice, a little bit different energy,” Yates said. “A big win like that is definitely going to help you out in everything – just confidence, energy, kind of just going through practicing and making everything run a little bit smoother.” And it’s that kind of attitude that will help the Tar Heels as they prepare for a critical matchup with rival Duke this week. On Saturday at Kenan Stadium, both schools will be fighting for a chance to play in the postseason as UNC and Duke are 5-3 overall. Both programs need to

win at least two of their remaining four games to be considered for a bowl, and Saturday’s winner would have the obvious upper hand. This arguably is the first meaningful – in terms of postseason ramifications for both – Duke-UNC football matchup since 1994, the most recent time each program had a winning record entering the game. The Tar Heels have been to bowl games since then, but 1994 was the Blue Devils most recent winning season and bowl game. “Sometimes it’s not as hard to handle adversity ... as it is success,” UNC coach Butch Davis said. “I said after Friday when we got back from Virginia Tech, ‘You’ve got 10 hours to enjoy that victory. You got to put that behind you and move on. This is a very critical and important stretch down the rest of the season, and this will be a big game.’” Yates said it was hard not taking more time to savor the victory over Virginia Tech, which he called his biggest win in a UNC uniform, but he understood dwelling on last week wouldn’t help the Tar Heels this week.

Wolfpack still looks for answers RALEIGH (AP) – N.C. State hasn’t had much to be encouraged about lately, but at least the Wolfpack has been in this spot before. That’s one positive coach Tom O’Brien is hanging his hopes on. “We’ve got four games left, and we have been pretty good in November,” he said. “So let’s go out and see what we can get done.” N.C. State (3-5, 0-4) is 6-2 in November in two seasons under O’Brien, but this year is the only winless team in Atlantic Coast Conference play. One reason has been a leaky defense that has allowed 146 points in its last three games, losses against Duke, Boston Col-

lege and Florida State. Last week in Tallahassee, Fla., N.C. State allowed 7.6 yards per play and fell 45-42. A week earlier, Boston College gained 7.1 yards a snap in a 52-20 victory. “It’s embarrassing, because we’re better than that,” senior safety Clem Johnson said. “It’s just kind of tough, because personally I feel that we’ve been practicing pretty well and not transferring it to the game field.” Johnson expressed confidence that the Wolfpack can get back to being the defense they were earlier in the season, when they held South Carolina to 256 yards and then dominated Football Championship Subdivision teams Mur-

ray State and GardnerWebb. “We just haven’t been able to get it together,” he said. “We just have to find that solution and get it rolling again.” Johnson said the Wolfpack figured to extend the momentum from last season, when they finished with four straight wins and claimed their first bowl berth since 2005. “We kind of wanted to start where we left off, and it didn’t happen,” he said. Instead, the Pack is back where it was last November, facing a stretch of must-win games to be bowl-eligible. Last year, the Wolfpack was 2-6 before claiming a Papajohns.com Bowl berth.

RADFORD, Va. – The High Point University men’s soccer team took an early 1-0 lead against Radford, but a late goal by the Highlanders evened the game up as the teams tied 1-1 in Big South action Monday night. Freshman Stephen Clowes scored his fourth goal of the season to give the Panthers a first-half advantage. Freshman Shawn Sloan received the ball outside the box on the right side and dribbled past three defenders to the near post before sliding the ball across to Clowes for the tally. Despite being a man down, the Highlanders tied the game in the 75th minute when a handball gave RU a free kick just outside the box. Sophomore Michael Chesler stopped the initial shot on the free kick, but the rebound was hit home by Brian Gwanzura. The Panthers play host to Liberty on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

HPU MEN’S GOLF SHARES NINTH SAPPHIRE – The High Point Universi-

ty men’s golf team shot a combined 292 in the first round of the Hummingbird Intercollegiate to finish tied for ninth out of 18 teams at the Country Club of Sapphire Valley on Monday. HPU sophomore Curtis Brotherton shot a one-under 70 in the opening 18 to finish tied for eighth. Panther junior Nick Goins, like Brotherton a Ledford product, finished in a tie for 25th with a 72, while freshman Chase Wilson shot 73 to finish tied for 36th. HPU junior Evan LaRocque finished day one in a tie for 83rd with a 77. Junior DJ Dougherty struggled in day one, shooting an opening-round 80 to finish last among HPU golfers in a tie for 96th. Kentucky leads the 18-team field after carding a five-under 279 to lead Furman by three strokes. Tournament host Western Carolina, Winthrop and Akron share third at 286. Furman’s Garland Ferrell posted two eagles on the back nine to lead the field with a 67. Six golfers opened with 68s. The tournament concludes today.

Bobcats rally past Nets, 79-68 CHARLOTTE (AP) – Gerald Wallace had 24 points and 20 rebounds and the Charlotte Bobcats held the New Jersey Nets without a point for more than 10 minutes in rallying for a 79-68 victory on Monday. The Nets’ ineptitude allowed Charlotte to go on a 24-0 run bridging the third and fourth quarters, wiping out the Bobcats’ horrible offensive start. D.J. Augustin added 21 points in Raja

Bell’s return from a wrist injury. The Nets dropped to 0-4 thanks to a brutal stretch where they lost Yi Jianlian to a sprained right knee and went nearly 111⁄2 minutes without a field goal. The Nets went 0-for-11 from the field with nine turnovers before Chris Douglas-Roberts’ three-point play. Douglas-Roberts had 20 points and Brook Lopez added 18 points for New Jersey.

Coach K takes Findlay seriously BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

DURHAM – Duke’s exhibition games might look like randomly selected mismatches to the casual observer, but coach Mike Krzyzewski takes even this part of the schedule serious. Take tonight’s opponent as an example. Findlay will arrive at Cameron Indoor Stadium for a 7 p.m. tipoff as the reigning Division II national champions, having gone 36-0 a season ago. The Ohio school’s most recent loss came nearly a year ago, a 79-76 defeat at the hands of Xavier in an exhibition game on Nov. 7, 2008. “What we try to do, if we can, is schedule a team that won a national championship the year before,” Krzyzewski said. “We think that team probably has championship qualities, so even though you might have more talent,

you can watch how they prepare, how they handle themselves.” Tonight’s game will be the last one that doesn’t officially count for the Blue Devils, who open the regular season Nov. 13 against UNC Greensboro. Duke already played its Blue-White game and also faced Pfeiffer in an Oct. 24 exhibition, winning by a 128-70 count. The high score in that one was no coincidence, either. In addition to trying to shine the spotlight on an in-state program, Krzyzewski tries to schedule one of his team’s exhibition games with a specific challenge in mind. “The main reason we scheduled them is because they play at such a breakneck speed, so we were able to work on our transition defense,” Krzyzewski said. “They do everything off the dribble, so our big guys had to switch and stay in front of people.”

Cashing in with the best team money can buy PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brian Cashman leaned against the wall just outside manager Joe Girardiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office as the best players money can buy milled about inside a quiet, but quietly confident, clubhouse. The longest-running gripe in baseball is the Yankees have so much cash that only they can afford to bury their mistakes, and since 1998, the still boyish-looking general manager has been the guy wielding the shovel. Late Sunday night, with New York just 27 outs from winning its 27th World Series â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but first since 2000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the small smile that creased Cashmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lips was part relief, part I-toldyou-so. It seemed to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have no idea how hard it is to get value for your dollar.â&#x20AC;? Cashman has shelled out more than $1.6 billion in salaries since a broken-bat single by Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Luis Gonzalez looped lazily over a drawn-in infield and ended the Yankeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; last dynastic run as the calendar turned over on a new century. Since then, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lavished some of it on ballplayers who were great before they arrived in New York, and a few who were great after they left town. But he conceded that for all the time, research and cash invested in the process, he still hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t figured out exactly why some thrive there and others leave town with tails tucked between their legs. And pitchers, he added, remain the most mystifying purchase of all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the key to the kingdom,â&#x20AC;? Cashman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last five, six, seven years have proven that beyond a doubt.â&#x20AC;? The play that put the Yankees back within striking distance of another World Series championship, though, had nothing to do with pitching. No. 2 hitter Johnny Damon singled with

two outs and the score tied 4-4 in the top of the ninth of Game 4 off Phillies closer Brad Lidge. On the first pitch to Mark Teixiera, the next hitter, Damon took off for second. When a low throw from catcher Carlos Ruiz briefly handcuffed third baseman Pedro Feliz covering the bag, Damon popped up and alertly took off for third. A double by Alex Rodriguez put New York back in the lead, then Jorge Posadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-run single provided more room for error than closer Mariano Rivera would need while shutting down the Phillies 1-2-3 to end the game. The reason the Phillies had no one even close to the base at third on Damonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s romp is because they were overshifted on the left side of the infield to deal with Teixiera, a switch-hitter who was batting left-handed against the right-handed Lidge. Few players command that kind of respect, but Teixiera is one of them. That explains, in part, why the Yankees acquired him before the season and will pay Teixiera an average of $22.5 million this year and for seven more. And after batting in front of Tex and seeing teams employ the shift for an entire season, Damon knew he only needed a moment of daylight to know if the coast would be clear to keep running. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I had to see before I could start running to third was how Pedro caught the ball,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I knew it drug him off some. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just glad,â&#x20AC;? he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;that when I started running, I still had some of my young legs behind.â&#x20AC;? Damon was a star in Boston, but in New York heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a small piece of the puzzle. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only the fifth highest-paid position player on their team, but at 35, few clubs could justify paying a player his age the $13 million Damon collects annually in New York.

Winston-Salem St.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stokes to step down following 2009-10 season WINSTON-SALEM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Winston-Salem State womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball coach Dee Stokes is stepping down after the upcoming season.

The school announced Monday that Stokes plans to pursue a career in educational administration and step away from coaching. Stokes was hired in

April 2006 and says she wanted to fulfill her fouryear contract. Stokes has a 17-69 record in three seasons at Winston-Salem State.

Those same clubs would have to scrimp and save for three years to buy just one player like Teixiera. But he was one of three stars the Yankees added this season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; along with staff ace CC Sabathia and No. 2 starter A.J. Burnett â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for $423.5 million. Burnett took the mound Monday night, like Sabathia a day earlier, on three daysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rest. His job was to buy the Yankees bats enough time to build a lead, then turn the game over to the middle relievers and eventually Rivera, arguably the most reliable final act in sports. If Burnett fails, the series shifts back to New York and the Yankeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new $1.5 billion baseball palace for Game 6, where the task falls to Andy Pettitte. That formula â&#x20AC;&#x201C; great starting pitching, timely hitting and Rivera â&#x20AC;&#x201C; produced four championships from 1996-2000. Only four players from those teams are still wearing pinstripes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Derek Jeter, Rivera, Posada and Pettitte â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just coincidence, but all four bubbled up from within the Yankee organization. That foundation has given the Yankees the luxury to reload rather than rebuild. There are plenty of players whose skills might earn them a spot on one of the biggest stages in sports, but only a few with the toughness and desire to hold on to their places for long. Cashman has scanned the globe and spared no expense trying to find them. He knows only too well how rare those guys are. Toward the end of an interview, Riveraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name comes up and the GMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tone shifts almost to reverence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A guy we gave very little money to, who came out of a small village in Panama and moved to the big city without ever once stumbling or losing his footing. For him to do what he did for as long as he has,â&#x20AC;? Cashman said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is incredible.â&#x20AC;?

PHILADELPHIA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The defending champions need another comeback to keep their title. The Phillies led the NL with 43 comefrom-behind wins during the regular season. They have five more in the postseason. The New York Yankees took a commanding 3-1 lead in the World Series with a 7-4 win in Game 4 on Sunday night. Of the 42 teams to take a 31 lead in the Series, 36 went on to win the crown. Can the Phillies become the seventh team to win three straight elimination games in the Series? Cliff Lee, an ace in October, took the mound Monday night against New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A.J. Burnett.

NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks ended higher but well off their best levels of the day as volatility continued to tug at the market. Stocks jumped early Monday after strong reports on manufacturing and housing but were fluctuating by the afternoon. The Dow Jones industrial average ended up 77 points after being up as much as 146 points. The seesaw trade on Monday came after the Institute for Supply Management reported that manufacturing activity grew in October at the fastest pace since April 2006. The ISM index clocked in at 55.7, much better than the 53 economists had expected. It was the third month in a row the index came in above 50, which indicates growth. Meanwhile, the National Association of Realtors said pending home sales increased

for the eighth straight month in September. The index rose 6.1 percent from August to 110.1. It was the highest reading since December 2006 and more than 21 percent above a year ago. Economists had expected the index would be level at 103.8. Even with the S&P 500’s 2 percent loss in October, the index is still up 53.2 percent since hitting a 12-year low in March. “The question is, is the trend changing?” said Jim Dunigan, managing executive of investments at PNC Wealth Management. “We’ve been in an up trend here.” According to prelminary calculations, the Dow rose 76.71, or 0.8 percent, to 9,789.44. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 6.69, or 0.7 percent, to 1,042.88, and the Nasdaq composite index rose 4.09, or 0.2 percent, to 2,049.20.

and higher demand from overseas. The Commerce Department said construction spending rose in September on the strength of home building. The report supported optimism that the ailing housing sector is starting to revive. And the number of signed contracts to buy previously occupied homes rose for the eighth straight month in September, according to

the National Association of Realtors. Still, with jobs scarce, lending tight and consumers wary of spending, it’s unclear whether the strength can be sustained as government stimulus programs wind down. For example, the contracts to buy homes rose as buyers scrambled to take advantage of a tax credit for firsttime owners that expires at the end of this month. Con-

The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing executives, said Monday that its manufacturing index grew in October at the fastest pace since April 2006. The ISM index read 55.7 last month, compared with 52.6 in September. It’s the third straight reading above 50, which indicates growth.

Ford surprises investors with profit cost cuts and the “Cash for Clunkers” program, which drew flocks of buyers to showrooms this summer. Ford’s shares rose 68 cents, or 9.8 percent, to $7.68 in morning trading. The latest results signal that Ford’s turnaround is on more solid ground. The company lost more than $14.6 billion last year and

hasn’t posted a full-year profit since 2005. While it made a profit in the second quarter, that was mainly due to debt reductions that cut its interest payments. Ford, based in Dearborn, Mich., reported third-quarter net income of $997 million, or 29 cents per share. Its profit forecast for 2011 was a step above previous

NEW YORK (AP) – Hopes for the fledgling U.S. economic recovery got a boost Monday from better-thanexpected news on manufacturing, construction and contracts to buy homes. U.S. manufacturing activity grew in October at the fastest pace in more than three years, according to a private group’s measure. It was driven by government spending, businesses’ need to rebuild their inventories

Oil above $78 after U.S. economic reports NEW YORK – Oil prices rose on Monday, backed by the weaker dollar and strong economic data in the U.S. and China, which raised hopes for an increase in energy demand. By midday, benchmark crude for December delivery added $1.28 to $78.28 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Fed to hold rates at record low WASHINGTON – Even with the Federal Reserve widely expected to leave interest rates at a record low this week to nurture the fragile recovery, fissures are growing among U.S. policymakers about when to start boosting rates to head off inflation. A shift to higher borrowing costs is probably months away, but Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and his colleagues likely will privately debate how best to signal a change in stance when they open a two-day meeting today.

GAO: Full recoup of auto bailout unlikely WASHINGTON – Government investigators say the U.S. government is unlikely to recover all of its investment in General Motors or Chrysler because the companies’ value would need to “grow substantially above what they have been in the past.” A Government Accountability Office report released Monday is the latest review to cast doubt on the likelihood that taxpayers will fully recoup more than $80 billion invested in the two U.S. automakers.

Feds: Construction spending rises WASHINGTON – Construction spending in September posted a better-than-expected performance, powered by the largest jump in housing construction in more than six years. The advance spurred hope that the battered housing sector is starting to turn around and will provide support for the overall economy as it struggles to emerge from the worst recession since the 1930s. The Commerce Department said Monday that total construction spending was up 0.8 percent in September, much better than the 0.3 percent drop that analysts had forecast.

Rule would boost airline, other unions WASHINGTON – Workers at U.S. airlines and railroads would have an easier time forming unions under a rule proposed by the National Mediation Board. The new rule would allow employees to organize if a majority of those voting favor a union. Current rules require a majority of an entire work group to vote for a union in order for it to be certified. That means a worker choosing not to vote at all is effectively casting a ‘no’ vote. The issue lies at the center of a dispute at Delta Airlines Inc. Unions representing flight attendants and ground workers who worked for Northwest Airlines before it was bought by Delta want the new rules to cover elections for workers at the combined carrier. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Pending home sales rise WASHINGTON (AP) – The volume of signed contracts to buy previously occupied homes rose for the eighth straight month in September as buyers scrambled to take advantage of a tax credit for first-time owners that expires at the end of this month. The National Association of Realtors said Monday its seasonally adjusted index of sales agreements rose 6.1 percent from August to 110.1. It was the highest reading since December 2006 and more than 21 percent above a year ago. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected the index would be level at 103.8. Typically there is a

one- to two-month lag between a contract and a done deal, so the index is a barometer of future sales. The housing market has been rebounding from the worst downturn in decades, aided by an aggressive federal intervention to lower mortgage rates and bring more buyers into the market. Completed home resales rose in September to the highest level in more than two years as buyers scrambled to complete their purchases before the tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time owners expires on Nov. 30. Congress is moving to extend the credit to buyers who sign sales agreements by April 30.

Court to rule on 2-person Labor Board WASHINGTON (AP) – The Supreme Court said Monday it will decide whether two people can do the work of five when it comes to resolving labormanagement disputes in the workplace. The National Labor Relations Board, which for decades has had the responsibility to police many of these disputes, has operated with only two members – and three vacancies – for more than a year. The reason for this is that Democrats who retook control of Congress in 2006 objected to President George W. Bush’s labor policies, and thus refused to confirm his

nominees. But the two NLRB members still in place have continued to issue decisions, making about 400 in the last 16 months. The U.S. Courts of Appeal have split on whether decisions made by only two members of the board are legal. The U.S. Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia said an NLRB decision handed down last year was invalid because it was made by just two members while the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago took the opposite position. It ruled that a vote by the two members was appropriate and binding.
