Housing sales fall in September HIGH POINT – Local home sales dropped for the second month, showing the attraction of the First-Time Home Buyers Tax Credit may be wearing off.

First-time home buyers lit a spark in national home sales in September as they scrambled to take advantage of the tax credit, set to expire Nov. 30. Home sales rose 9.4 percent from August across the country.

The housing market in High Point experienced a 16 percent drop as the total units sold fell from 99 in August to 83 in September. The drop is a reflection of consumers’ hesitancy to spend big bucks during the recession, according to Ed Terry, executive vice president of the High Point

Regional Association of Realtors.

“Our drop mirrors the drop in retail sales,” he said. “Congress is strongly considering extending the up-to $8,000 tax credit.”

The drop could also mirror a warning made by HPRAR’s President Jeannene Poarch.

“It’s going to take us longer to dig out of this without the tax credit,” she said when home sales dropped in August. “Those that are really hurting could benefit from an extension.”

Terry said there was good news in that the sales gap comparison between the current month and the same month last year was beginning to decrease. In January, figures were down 54 percent compared to January 2008.

Figures were down 11 percent in September compared to the same time last year.

Greensboro experienced a slight increase in sales as the total units sold rose from 490 in August to 523 in September.

Greensboro Regional Realtors Association President Betty Smith attributed the bounce to the tax credit.

“We are pleased to see acrossthe-board improvements in our numbers for September, as buyers scramble to get their closings done in time to take advantage of the $8,000 Federal Housing Tax Credit deadline on Nov. 1,” Smith said. “There’s still plenty of room for improvement in the local housing market, but we continue to be encouraged by signs of a steady recovery.”

HIGH POINT – A dip in attendance at the fall High Point Market continued to mirror economic conditions as the home furnishings industry struggles to regain stability.

According to figures released by the High Point Market Authority, 75,329 industry professionals registered for the event, held Oct. 17-22.

The number includes exhibitors, sales personnel, students, press and other industry members. Buyers accounted for more than half of those registrations at 43,895.

The number of registrations

was slightly down from the spring market, when 75,537 guests registered for the event, but it sustained more than 1,000 attendee losses compared to the fall 2008 market where 76,403 guests registered.

In light of economic conditions, Brian Casey, president of the High Point Market Authority, said the numbers remained steady compared to the spring, and an overall upbeat atmosphere was prevalent at the event.

“Most (home furnishings) shows are having double-digit declines in their attendance,” he said. “The numbers are a positive indicator for us if you compare that to the amount of business that’s been lost and the

significant drop in consumer spending.”

Attendance declines have plagued the market for several years. For example, there were 95,514 registered guests in spring 2006 and 84,986 that fall, but the decline has steadily slowed.

“It’s hard to gauge what our expectations should be,” Casey said.

“We can measure the numbers against the positive attitude we saw in this market. That coupled with the fact that we’re doing all we can to improve the experience of the marketgoers lends itself to a continued positive view of High Point as the place to be for this industry’s business.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Wallburg re-elects mayor, council

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

WALLBURG – Incumbent Mayor Allen Todd easily defeated challenger J. Leigh Gill on Tuesday to win another term.

Todd, 57, the town’s second mayor and first popularly elected one, collected 241 votes to 104 for Gill, according to unofficial totals.

Todd is a professional auctioneer and instructor at the Mendenhall School of Auctioneering. He defeated Ronnie Bailey in the town’s first election four years ago.

Voters knew Todd was one of them, Todd said.

“I’ve been here most of my life,” Todd said. “People may have been comfortable with me. I’m grateful for the support.”

Gill, 64, a political newcomer, is a retired computer systems manager for furniture manufacturers.

Ragsdale wins bid for Jamestown council

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

JAMESTOWN – With Mayor Keith Volz facing no opposition, the 2009 election was among six candidates for four Jamestown Town Council seats, and one of them was a Ragsdale.

Only the top four votegetters win seats.

Will Ragsdale broke through this year to win a council seat by finishing third with 331 votes.

Incumbent Georgia Nixon-Roney, a 44-yearold lawyer, led voting for the council seats with 349 ballots followed by incumbent Brock Thomas, an insurance agent, with 345 votes.

Incumbent Frank Gray finished fourth with 313 votes.

Incumbent Larry M. Lain, 58, a former Jamestown fire chief and para-

uct development manager, received 434 votes.

Ragsdale, a 43-year-old marketing specialist and graduate of High Point University, is the son of former Mayor Billy Ragsdale. Because Emily Ragsdale retired from council in 2007, there has been no Ragsdale serving on council for two years. Ragsdale ran as a write-in candidate in 2007. He finished fifth.

“I’m pleased,” Ragsdale said Tuesday. “It was important to make

“We had six good people,” Lain said. “It could have gone either way.”

the referendums on the ballot.

The approval of the referendums would have allowed the terms of office for all members of council to be four years for each of the seven seats. The new terms would have been phased in, with the top four vote-getters in the 2011 election receiving four-year terms and the next three receiving two-year terms.

As voters headed to the polls Tuesday, the issue of changing the city’s electoral system remained controversial.

At the polling location of T. Austin Finch Auditorium Tuesday evening, Thomasville resident Barney W. Hill and City Council candidate Jay Browning passed out information telling residents they should vote against the referendums. In 2003, Hill led efforts to get a referendum on the ballot that changed the City Council’s election system from a ward system with fouryear staggered terms to an all at-large system with two year terms. Hill said Thomasville’s current election system,

GREENSBORO – Greensboro’s first African-American mayor was ousted Tuesday by Republican challenger Bill Knight.

Knight won 51.36 percent of the votes to Johnson’s 48.54 percent in unofficial election results.

Knight, during an interview this week with WXII-TV, said that while businesses in Greensboro have had to cut back on expenses, the city budget needs to be more heavily scrutinized. Knight said he is also willing to consider reopening the White Street landfill as a

While passing out information to citizens in Thomasville, Hill and City Council candidate Neal Grimes, an incumbent, exchanged their differences as the government watchdog tried to explain to a voter why he should vote no twice.

“It’s the most important part because if it passes you only get to vote only half as often,” said Hill, explaining the referendums to the voter. Grimes, who voted for placing the referendum, interrupted Hill’s conversation with the voter by saying, “But if you vote for it, that gives you continuity and leadership, too. It gives you staggered terms.”

“I tried not to make any promises,” Todd said. “I think we have a solid council.” Town commissioners Zane Hedgecock and Steve Yokeley were elected again to two council seats without opposition. Hedgecock, 50, garnered 250 votes and Yokeley, 51, won 290. The men will rejoin Gary Craver, Lynn Reece and Mark Swaim on the town board.

Robert Motsinger, who dropped out of the race, received 102 votes because his name still appeared on the ballot. Motsinger unsuccessfully ran in 2007.

Hedgecock, appointed to the original Wallburg council, has an administrative job with the N.C. Department of Agriculture in Raleigh. Yokeley owns S&W Body Shop in Wallburg.

The men will represent the town for four years.

Police: Father kills wife, two children, himself FAYETTEVILLE (AP) – A North Carolina businessman who coached basketball at the religious school where his teenagers attended classes fatally shot his family in their upscale home before turning the gun on himself, police said Tuesday.

Authorities would not hint at what might have driven William Maxwell to kill his wife and two children Monday night.

Bewildered friends described the Maxwells as active churchgoers and good neighbors, with a student-athlete son who helped his father maintain a meticulous lawn around their home in Fayetteville and a daughter who was a cheerleader applying to colleges.

“Billy, if you knew him, loved his family.

Everybody knew that.

“Obviously something tragic was going on for this to happen.”

Police said Maxwell, 47, shot and killed his wife, Kathryn, 43, and their children, 17-yearold Connor and 15-yearold Cameron, before killing himself. Connor Maxwell was found in an upstairs bedroom, the other three bodies were in the kitchen.

William Maxwell was a builder and land developer who built residential subdivisions in Cumberland and Harnett counties, said John McKinney of Fayetteville, who described himself as Maxwell’s business partner and friend for more than a decade.

N. Korea claims to expand atomic bomb arsenal SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea claimed Tuesday that it has successfully weaponized more plutonium for atomic bombs, a day after warning Washington to agree quickly to direct talks or face the prospect of a growing North Korean nuclear arsenal.

The announcement underlined Pyongyang’s impatience over securing talks with Washington, as well as the difficulties in dealing with a regime that resorts to threats and provocations to get what it wants.

Taliban: ’We are prepared for a long war’ PESHAWAR, Pakistan – A Taliban spokesman denied Tuesday Pakistan has won a series of victories in its offensive in tribal South Waziristan, saying the militants are drawing government soldiers into a trap.

“We are prepared for a long war,” Azam Tariq told an Associated Press reporter by telephone. “The areas we are withdrawing from, and the ones the army is claiming to have won, are being vacated by us as part of a strategy.”

Mayor announces death before body is found MEXICO CITY – Mauricio Fernandez couldn’t have been happier.

Here he was, being sworn in again as mayor of one of northern Mexico’s most exclusive communities, and he had wonderful news to share: “Black Saldana, who apparently is the one who was asking for my head, was found dead today in Mexico City,” he told his cheering supporters Saturday. The problem was that the corpse wasn’t found for another 31⁄2 hours, according to Mexico City prosecutors. And he wouldn’t be identified for two days. Now the mayor is facing tough questions about the killings.

Reporter kidnapped and killed in Mexico MEXICO CITY – A news reporter who wrote about violent drug crimes has been strangled in the northern Mexican state of Durango, authorities said Tuesday.

El Tiempo de Durango journalist Jose Bladimir Antuna was kidnapped Monday morning, said Ruben Lopez, spokesman for the state Attorney General’s Office. Authorities found his body that night in a vacant lot in the state capital.

China sentences notorious gang ’godmother’ BEIJING – Dubbed the “godmother” of the Chinese underworld, she was notorious for her toughness and a lavish lifestyle that reportedly included luxury villas and a stable of 16 young lovers.

Her criminal reign ended Tuesday when Xie Caiping, 46, was sentenced to 18 years in prison for running illegal casinos and bribing government officials.

Clinton diverts to Egypt for Mideast peace talks CAIRO (AP) – U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton made a hastily arranged stop in the Egyptian capital Tuesday to consult with a longtime Arab ally amid indications of a shifting U.S. strategy for getting Israel and the Palestinians back to peace negotiations.

Instead of returning to Washington, as scheduled, after attending an international conference in Marrakech, Morocco, Clinton flew to Cairo and held late-night talks with Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit and Omar Suleiman,

the Egyptian intelligence chief. She was due to meet today with President Hosni Clinton Mubarak before returning to Washington.

Egypt reacted with strong concern to remarks Clinton made in Jerusalem on Saturday. She caused a stir when she said the Israeli government’s offer to restrain – but not stop – settlement activity in Palestinian areas was unprecedented.

Israel: Gaza rockets can reach metro Tel Aviv JERUSALEM (AP) – Hamas militants in Gaza have successfully testfired an Iranian rocket able to reach Israel’s largest urban center, the country’s military intelligence chief said Tuesday.

Maj. Gen. Amos Yadlin told parliament’s foreign affairs and defense committee that the rocket could fly 37 miles and strike metropolitan Tel Aviv, Israeli media reported.

Until now, rockets fired from Gaza have reached up to 25 miles, putting one-eighth of Israel’s population within rocket range.

Yadlin said the rocket was fired in recent days,

but no further details were immediately available from his testimony before the closed session.

Defense officials say Palestinian militants in Gaza generally test-fire rockets into the Mediterranean Sea.

The Vatican ordered up the review in December, saying it wanted to study the quality of life of the 59,000 members in more than 400 Catholic women’s religious institutes amid a steep decline in their numbers.

Support bills to give grandparents more rights I would like to share this information: In North Carolina the only way a grandparent can petition the court for visitation of their grandchild is if there already is litigation going on like a divorce or separation. Grandparents can then hire their own lawyer and litigate for visitation.

I discovered that there are some bills that need to be passed to allow grandparent’s more rights for visitation. You can contact your N.C. House representative and your N.C. senator and ask them to please support these bills. You can go to www.sboe.state.nc.us and type in your information and it will tell you who your legislators are and give you an address and e-mail.

Write them and ask them to support: • for state representative: House Bill 590: “Study Grandparents Visitation Rights.”

• for state senator: Senate Bill 342: “Study Grandparents Visitation Rights.”

Please take the time to contact your senator and representative.

You may not be a grandparent yet; you may be a grandparent and you get to see your grandkids; you may not have children yet; you may have little children or you may be like me and have six grandkids you can see and one you can’t and you miss that one.

No matter what your situation, please contact your legislators and ask them to support these bills. You never know what the future holds. I never thought my daughter would keep my grandson from me. This is important, so please contact them. All children need to know their grandparents.

Grandparents are important to their grandchildren. They give love, security and history.

Obama should stick by the public option plan I am 68 years old and worked gainfully up until I was disabled, and I never thought I should not be paying the taxes I had to pay.

Nor did I ever think I would need a helping hand. But when I was disabled, I was not vested in my retirement plan at work and I ended up on Social Security disability until I reached the age of 65. I have found out the hard way that Social Security doesn’t provide the means to live a healthy life with medical, dental and vision care. The “donut-hole” is going to make me choose between food and Medicine.

If you have the guts to stand up for what you campaigned on, “public heath insurance” for all, then maybe some of the people still working will not end up like me, having to make the decision I am going to have to make about medical care and prescriptions.

Look behind the headlines

T

he headlines on news stories will tell us that registered attendance at the fall 2009 High Point Market continued the decline from previous fall and spring markets. And that is true.

But don’t let the latest news about lower attendance figures at this past market distract you from what may be the bigger story brewing about market attendance.

Since a high of 95,514 at the spring 2006 market, registrations have declined to the 75,329 last month. That’s a drop of just over 20,000, or about 21 percent. Economic downturn and industry competition factors impacting these numbers over the years are well-known. So let’s focus on registration numbers for the last four markets.

Totals were: spring 2008 – 82,095; fall 2008 – 76,403; spring 2009 – 75,537; and fall 2009 – 75,329. We see a trend – a rapid slowing in market registration decline. And it makes us raise the questions: Has the decline in attendance waned, perhaps even hit bottom, and will it begin climbing again?

Let’s look at one other comparison – the number of buyers.

In spring 2007, there were 47,109 buyers registered. This fall, that number dropped to 43,895. Despite the decline in actual numbers, the percentage of buyers compared to all registrations rose from 55 percent in 2007 to 58.27 percent last month.

That’s positive news because the buyers fuel the market engine.

Certainly, tough times aren’t over – but maybe the downturn is easing.

Our medical care system has costs or consequences

W

e are incessantly being told that the cost of medical care is “too high” – either absolutely or as a growing percentage of our incomes. But nothing that is being proposed by the government is likely to lower those costs, and much that is being proposed is almost certain to increase the costs.

There is a fundamental difference between reducing costs and simply shifting costs around, like a pea in a shell game at a carnival. Costs are not reduced simply because you pay less at a doctor’s office and more in taxes – or more in insurance premiums, or more in higher prices for other goods and services that you buy, because the government has put costs on businesses that pass those costs on to you.

Costs are not reduced simply because you don’t pay them. It would undoubtedly be cheaper for me to do without the medications that keep me alive and more vigorous in my old age than people of a similar age were in generations past.

Letting old people die would undoubtedly be cheaper than keeping them alive – but that does not mean that the costs have gone down.

It just means that we refuse to pay the costs.

Instead, we pay the consequences. There is no free lunch.

Providing free lunches to people who go to hospital emergency rooms is one of the reasons for the current high costs of medical care for others. Politicians mandating what insurance companies must cover is another free lunch that leads to higher premiums for medical insurance – and fewer people who can afford it.

Despite all the demonizing of insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies or doctors for what they charge, the fundamental costs of goods and services are the costs of producing them.

If highly paid chief executives of insurance companies or pharmaceutical companies agreed to work free of charge, it would make very little difference in the cost of insurance or medications. If doctors’ incomes were cut in half, that would not lower the cost of producing doctors through years of expensive training in medical schools and hospitals, nor the overhead costs of running doctors’ offices.

What it would do is reduce the number of very able people who are willing to take on the high costs of a medical education when the return on that investment is greatly reduced and the aggravations of dealing with government bureaucrats OPINION are added to the burdens of the work.

Thomas Britain has had a governmentSowell run medical system for more ■■■ than half a century and it has to import doctors, including some from Third World countries where the medical training may not be the best. In short, reducing doctors’ income is not reducing the cost of medical care, it is refusing to pay those costs.

Like other ways of refusing to pay costs, it has consequences.

Any one of us can reduce medical costs by refusing to pay them. In our own lives, we recognize the consequences. But when someone with a gift for rhetoric tells us that the government can reduce the costs without consequences, we are ready to believe in such political miracles.

There are some ways in which the real costs of medical care can be reduced but the people who are leading the charge for a government takeover of medical care are not the least bit interested in actually reducing those costs, as distinguished from shifting the costs around or just refusing to pay them.

The high costs of “defensive medicine” – expensive tests, medications and procedures required to protect doctors and hospitals from ruinous lawsuits, rather than to help the patients – could be reduced by not letting lawyers get away with filing frivolous lawsuits.

But politicians who get huge campaign contributions from lawyers are not about to pass laws to do this.

Why should they, when it is so much easier just to start a political stampede with fiery rhetoric and glittering promises?

say slanderous remarks that can scar a young girl for life. So how exactly can such commentary be said only in passing? How can it be accepted by anyone, much less fellow females? And how can we expect men to respect us when we lack the ability to respect

ourselves?

Even Hollywood, especially Hollywood, has been targeting Women with shows such as “The Girls Next Door” and even TV programs such as “The Rock of Love,” where females are portrayed as promiscuous idiots who have nothing better to do than pose naked or fight for the affection of a man.

It will become nearly impossible for women to be seen as respectable members of society if we keep progressing at this rate. It’s time for a change and a dramatic one at that.

Whether it is in the hallways at school, or the tabloids Hollywood creates, you would be hard pressed to deny that prejudice against Women no longer exists today. Both genders contribute to this double standard and most girls can’t complain about the predicament if we are doing nothing about the situation except maybe adding to the problem.

Startling revelations about Obamacare scare public

ver the centuries, our civilization has molded and formed into a society that no longer treats women as if they are constantly inferior to men. Women can even rival their male counter parts when it comes to promotions, scholarships and even acceptance to college as a whole. Looking back on past arrangements that keep females locked into a seemingly never-ending trap that kept men dominant; leaps and bounds of staggering progress has been made but, looking past the business world and more closely at everyday occurrences, it’s nearly impossible to miss the not-so-subtle gender discrimination.

When a man and a woman are sexually active, why is it that only the female has need to worry over who will find out?

How can we remain a culture that prides itself on equality when the everyday prejudice is completely inescapable? Every day, I will hear a girl called an explicit term for a choice that she made. My first reaction of course is, “Why is it our business what she did on her own time?” But I also find myself waiting for the male that was involved to be criticized for the action as well. Shockingly, my waiting is pointless. I think it needs to be recognized immediately that it takes two people to become sexually active and the decision was made by the male as well. Even though I myself don’t believe in pre-marital sex, I think it’s important that both members of the duo are going to be abashed for their actions and not just the female.

The one thing that possibly bothers me the most is how casually these comments are made. Men and Women alike

House leaders, on a somewhat faster track, pointed toward a vote this weekend on a bill to extend coverage to tens of millions who lack it, ban insurance industry practices such as denying coverage because of pre-existing medical conditions and generally slow the rate of growth of medical spending nationwide.

The 10-year, $1.2 trillion legislation is estimated to expand coverage to about 96 percent of eligible Americans.

The measure includes an option for consumers to purchase a government insurance plan, an attempt to put pressure on private firms.

Lawmakers return to talk sales tax

AP

First blast to clear roadway

RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina lawmakers returned Tuesday to resume conversations on overhauling the state’s tax system as soon as next spring after House and Senate Democrats couldn’t agree on a plan before the Legislature adjourned in August.

A joint House-Senate finance committee held the first of at least four scheduled meetings that could ultimately lead to approval of a rewrite that’s been batted around in Raleigh since the 1950s.

“Today, we begin the process which is really unprecedented,” said Rep. Paul Luebke, D-Durham, co-chairman of the House Finance Committee. “It’s unclear where we’ll end up at the end of

the process,” he added, but meeting is “a sign of our commitment to address the issue.”

At least three state panels have considered these broader tax issues since 2000, which generally have centered on lowering tax rates in exchange for broadening the number of items and services subject to taxation.

The changes are designed to tap into transactions in an economy that has shifted toward services and technology and away from traditional manufacturing.

Bringing several dozen lawmakers together to listen to tax experts is a step forward in building the political will to approve the changes, a committee leader said.

The first blast to remove large rocks from the top of a rock slide on Interstate 40 is shown in Haywood County, west of Asheville, on Tuesday. Workers will be blasting for several days to clear the upper part of the slide so material on the roadway can safely be removed.

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

CHARLOTTE – Columbia Farms will pay $1.5 million to the government and will be required to tighten its hiring practices under an agreement that will allow it to avoid a criminal conviction on federal immigration charges.

The agreement, finalized just hours before the start of the scheduled criminal trial in federal court in Greenville, S.C., Tuesdy, will give N.C.-

based parent company House of Raeford Farms an opportunity to keep its record clean and hold on to valuable government contracts.

Columbia Farms was charged with knowingly hiring illegal immigrants following a massive raid at its Greenville, S.C. plant last year.

The government said it would dismiss the charges against the company provided it improves its hiring practices over the next two years and submits to federal monitor-

ing at its eight plants in the Carolinas and Louisiana.

“I have no reservations in entering into this agreement, as Columbia Farms and its affiliates have clearly demonstrated their acceptance of responsibility by making corporate decisions to overhaul their hiring practices not only in Greenville, but in each of the plants in the House of Raeford Farms family,” said Walt Wilkins, U.S. Attorney for South Carolina.

Man wrapped up in girlfriend ignores grandpa

D

ear Abby: My wife and I were visiting our children and grandson, “Rhett,” age 24.

Rhett is a college student who lives at home. He had his girlfriend, “Peggy,” who lives in another town, at the house for the weekend.

Rhett and Peggy retired to his room early in the evening. When we saw them at breakfast, they were, basically, uncommunicative. Shortly after, they went to the backyard and immediately climbed into the hammock, where they lay like tightly wound dishrags for the next two hours until it was time for us to leave.

Our son and his wife did not awaken them to say goodbye, so we concluded that they had been exhausted by the previous night’s activities.

Is this normal behavior in today’s world? We realize that we may be “old fogeys” by current standards, but isn’t there any line drawn anymore?

My son and his wife acted like this was all perfectly fine. – Invisible Grandpa in Arkansas Dear Grandpa: Whether Rhett’s behavior – and his parents’ tolerance of it – is “fine” in today’s world depends upon the standards in that household. However, there are “family manners” and “company manners.”

From your description of the goings-on during

your visit, and that no effort was made to spend any quality time with you, I’d ADVICE say your grandson’s Dear behavior Abby was just ■■■ plain rude.

That said, Rhett was not entirely to blame. Some fault lies with your son and his wife for tolerating your being ignored and not insisting that you be treated with more courtesy and respect.

Dear Abby: My brother, “Jeff,” has not communicated with any of the family – parents or siblings – for two years.

Nobody knows why. We grew up a close-knit family with lots of love and affection.

About six years ago, Jeff moved with his wife and children to a different state. During the first few years, he stayed in touch via phone calls and e-mails, but suddenly all communication ceased. We know where he lives and have tried contacting him through letters, phone calls and e- mails, but he will not respond. Our parents are devastated and none of us knows what to do.

We have so many questions: Is Jeff hiding something? Is he ill? How are the children? What do

we do, Abby? Please help.

– Family in Pain Dear in Pain: Because you have tried everything else, only one thing is left.

If at all possible, your parents and the sibling who was closest to Jeff should schedule a visit to the city in which he now resides and pay him a call.

Dear Abby: I married a man who owns a duplex with his mother. When the taxes come due there are two sets – one for each side. The house is not habitable. It needs a lot of work to get it ready.

My mother-in-law thinks her son should pay the taxes on both sides, and also pay to fix up the place. Now that he has a wife, his mother thinks I should help him pay for the house and the taxes.

But the deed is “survivorship” with him and his mother. Why should I pay to get it fixed up when his mom makes it clear that if something happens to her son, the house is hers and hers alone? – Taken for Granted in Pennsylvania

• Provide regular training to employees on hiring practices to ensure compliance with federal law.

• Use an outside auditor to review the company’s employment eligibility forms.

Frosty and the Professionals is a recently formed group that has been performing at area retirement and nursing centers.

The group came together informally, and members sing for the fun of it and to give back to the community. It is composed of local dentist Harry R. “Frosty” Culp, Marcia Dills and Cheri Andrews. They chose the name because Culp has a nickname that’s easily remembered, and the two women are professional musicians.

Dills, the accompanist, is director of keyboard studies at High Point University, plays organ at Emerywood Baptist Church and teaches piano. Andrews is a certified public accountant who works with Sharrard McGee and Co. She has sung at sporting events for the Charlotte Hornets and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and at local churches and fundraising events.

ill Coyne was a transformer long before Transformers took the toy market by storm.

Unlike the toys, in which you move a few pieces to convert a car into a combat hero, Coyne transformed himself. He learned the secret from his mother.

“As a child, I watched my mother transform her life after my dad left. I learned that life is about choices and change, not about circumstances,” Coyne said.

This Pittsburgh woman, Marie Coyne, raised her family from poverty to praiseworthy, first ABOVE by humbly AND keeping BEYOND house for wealthy Patty Jo neighbors, Sawvel and later by ■■■ purchasing her own home and storefront. So when she told her son, Bill, that he could be an artist, he had every reason to believe her. But he didn’t.

“We didn’t have money to send me to college, and I didn’t have enough self-discipline to become an artist on my own,” Coyne said.

Coyne found a way to get some discipline. He joined the Marines. While enlisted, he married Dolly Vrhovsek and started a family. When he returned to civilian life, a friend introduced him to the owner of Penn Art Studio.

After looking at Coyne’s artwork, the store owner decided to hire him at an entry level, as a messenger.

“I grew up expecting that I would have to work for my opportunities,” Coyne said.

In choosing this job, Coyne’s transformation began. Like most metamorphoses, things got worse before they got better. To survive on decreased wages, Coyne had to sell his car and move his family of five into his in-laws’ home.

The store owner soon recognized Coyne’s true talent and paid for night classes at Carnegie Tech.

Coyne advanced quickly, and he was soon creating award-winning designs.

Coyne’s next employer required more uncomfortable changes.

“They wanted me to bring in the business. I hated sales, but I learned it and was very good at it,” Coyne said.

In 1969, Coyne worked a year in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Then his transformation was complete, and he started his own company. Ten years later, he moved his family of nine to Greensboro and founded Coyne Group, which later became Coyne Beahm Advertising. In 2000, Coyne retired to focus on his passion, painting.

“Now, it’s my time. It’s time to make my living by fine art,” he said.

Coyne’s mother was right. He could become an artist. Coyne’s artwork is on display in downtown Kernersville at Splurges Boutique, in the newly renovated Factory.

Heart valve changes don’t always warrant treatment

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I had been feeling slightly uncomfortable in my chest, especially in the morning after waking. I had an echocardiogram. The report reads: “a trace of mitral regurgitation; mild tricuspid regurgitation; pulmonic valve thin and pliable with normal motion; insignificant valvular hemodynamics; normal ejection fraction of 60 percent.” Is this something to be concerned about?

How are valves related to the heart? My study was “technically difficult.”

Why? I am 68 years old.

– J.C.

BLONDIE

B.C.

The heart’s four valves keep blood moving from one heart chamber to the next. The heart has four chambers: two upper chambers (the atria) and two lower chambers (the ventricles). Without valves, blood would back up from one heart chamber to the next as it courses through the heart and out into the body.

A “trace of mitral regurgitation” and “mild tricuspid regurgitation” are of no concern. At age 68, neither is likely to get any worse. Both represent a tiny leak of the valves, too tiny to merit any worry. “Insignificant valvular hemodynamics” means the leak is so small that it’s hardly worth mentioning.

Your heart function gets an A. The ejection fraction of 60 percent is normal.

It’s the amount of blood the heart pumps with each beat. Yours is a fabulous number.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I take Zetia every day, and I have read and heard that it is not good. A friend told me her doctor indicated it could cause cancer.

Other drugs I have taken in the past have created problems for me. I would appreciate your writing about this. – V.B.

which is a statin drug, the class of drugs that lower cholesterol by interfering with the liver’s production of it. The combination drug is called Vytorin.

The tempest over ezetimibe arose with the combination drug Vytorin. A study measured the efficacy of Vytorin compared with the cholesterol-lowering efficacy of its two components taken separately. The combination did effect greater cholesterol-lowering. However, as part of the study, a measurement of plaque in the carotid artery, before and after taking the drug, was made. Plaque is the buildup of cholesterol and fat on the artery wall. The carotid artery is the artery that supplies the brain with blood. Plaque buildup didn’t regress with the combination drug. In fact, it might have slightly increased. That threw some doubt on the effectiveness of the combination drug.

This study was not performed with Zetia, your drug. An early study suggested an increased cancer risk among Zetia users. Subsequent studies did not support that finding. If Zetia is working for you and since other cholesterol-lowering drugs caused you problems, you can safely take this medicine.

Zetia (generic name ezetimibe) lowers cholesterol by blocking its absorption from the digestive tract.

This is a mode of action different from other cholesterol-lowering drugs Ezetimibe is combined with simvastatin (Zocor),

LOS ANGELES (AP) – A man arrested outside Ryan Seacrest’s workplace has pleaded not guilty to a felony stalking charge.

C h i d i Benjamin Uzomah Jr. Seacrest entered the plea Tuesday through an attorney. A court commissioner ordered Uzomah to stay 500 yards away from Seacrest if he is released from jail on $150,000 bail.

Los Angeles police arrested Uzomah at the E! Entertainment Television headquarters in Los Angeles on Friday. A request for a civil restraining order stated he was carrying a knife at the time. Uzomah appeared at the hearing and agreed to be represented by a public defender.

Duke gets defensive DURHAM (AP) – Adam Banks doesn’t mind that Duke fans only want to talk about Thad Lewis and the Blue Devils’ passing attack these days.

“I wouldn’t blame them,” the junior linebacker said Tuesday.

“It’s probably more exciting to watch (than defense), to tell you the truth.”

Maybe, but the defensive improvement going on Durham these days can’t be ignored when looking at the Blue Devils’ push for bowl eligibility.

After repeatedly ranking as the worst defense in the Atlantic Coast Conference, Duke has improved to anywhere from the middle to upper third of the league in several key categories. And while Lewis is throwing the ball all over the field, the defense has just as much to do with the Blue Devils’ three-game winning streak heading into Saturday’s game at rival North Carolina.

“It definitely helps them out,” Banks said of the offense. “If I was an offensive guy, I’d like to know we don’t have to score every single drive.”

The Blue Devils (5-3, 3-1 ACC) rank fourth in the league in total defense (324.8 yards per game), fifth against the pass and sixth against the run. Duke is eighth in scoring defense at 24 points per game.

Those numbers aren’t all that eye-popping, but compare them to the three years before David Cutcliffe’s arrival at Duke. From 2005-07, Duke ranked last in the

league in both scoring defense – allowing at least 33 points in all three Banks seasons – and in total defense at nearly 400 yards each year.

In the past two games, the defense held Maryland to 13 points, then came up big in the Blue Devils’ 28-17 win at Virginia. In that game, Duke even got a defensive touchdown as it protected a one-point lead in the final 31⁄2 minutes – the kind of play the Blue Devils have never seemed to make during their long run of futility.

“When you’re watching the tape, from the point Virginia went ahead 17-12, our defense became by far the dominant unit on the field,” Cutcliffe said.

“They were better than Virginia’s defense, they were better than Duke’s offense and they were better than Virginia’s offense. That helps you win games in the fourth quarter. Their speed of play, their intensity level, I loved it, because it got turned up a notch at the right time.”

It’s especially good timing considering Lewis, a four-year starter at quarterback, has Duke’s offense humming along as the league’s top passing attack. But the offense can’t always be great, such as when it failed to score a touchdown against Virginia until the final 4 minutes.

Yet Duke still was in position to win thanks to the defense.

Wake’s Skinner Pettitte, Yanks go for title still questionable against old foe Pedro for Ga. Tech game WINSTON-SALEM (AP) – Wake Forest quarterback Riley Skinner remains questionable for this week’s game at No. 10 Georgia Tech with a mild concussion.

Coach Jim Grobe said Tuesday that he’s optimistic that Skinner will play, but says the decision will be made by the team’s medical staff.

Grobe says Skinner hasn’t experienced headaches or dizziness. With about 61⁄2 minutes left in

the Miami loss last week, Skinner took a hard hit near the sideline that ripped off his helmet and broke his face mask.

He was replaced by Ryan McManus, who will start this week if Skinner can’t play.

Skinner hasn’t missed a start since the third game of his sophomore season in 2007, when the right-handed quarterback had a separated throwing shoulder.

NEW YORK (AP) – Andy Pettitte leaned forward in his chair and recounted a recent chat he had with Derek Jeter as soon as they both realized what was next in this World Series.

Pettitte vs. old foe Pedro Martinez, with the Yankees one win from ecstasy.

Still chasing that elusive 27th championship, New York will turn to Pettitte once again in Game 6 tonight, hoping he can pitch them past the Philadelphia Phillies on only three days’ rest.

“Me and Derek were talking about it in the clubhouse last night. Just how strange is this?” Pettitte said Tuesday.

“I think everybody knew it was going to be a great Series. I think everybody knew it was going to be a tough Series.

And it looks like it’s living up to that.”

After wasting a chance to wrap things up in Game 5 at Philadelphia, the Yankees set their sights on clinching at home. They’d love to christen their $1.5 billion ballpark with a World Series title in its first season and give another championship to 79-yearold owner George Steinbrenner.

They’ve got two chances to do it. Game 7 would be Thursday night in the Bronx if necessary, with ace CC Sabathia pitching for New York – also on short rest.

Coming off an 8-6 victory Monday night that trimmed their Series deficit to 3-2, the defending champion Phillies took the train up to New York on Tuesday afternoon, a ride that takes a little more than an hour.

ASCAR’s Chase for the Championship ran out of gas on Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway.

Jimmie Johnson all but clinched his fourth straight Cup crown with a sixth-place finish.

Johnson leads Hendrick Motorsports teammates Mark Martin by 184 points and Jeff Gordon by 192 with just three races remaining – Texas, Phoenix and Homestead.

Basically, Johnson could skip Sunday’s race at Texas to visit Southfork or go fishing

or take a nice, long nap and still enjoy the points lead.

That’s the only way this Chase will get competitive again.

Johnson and his No. 48 team continue to deliver amazing performances in the clutch (pardon the pun).

They’ve taken all of the race out of the Chase.

But I don’t blame Johnson and company.

These guys are good and they work hard at their craft. You have to salute their consistency and unmatched title drive.

It reminds me of the Celtics dynasty of the ‘60s and UCLA’s men’s basketball run from ‘64 to ‘75.

The same old story year after year can get old – unless you’re a fan of the Celtics, Bruins or Jimmie Johnson.

It’s up to the competition to step up and author a new script.

For the past four years, nobody on the Cup scene has shown the write, er, right stuff to make that happen.

Chase Utley is too old-school to flip his bat, pause at the plate, jog slowly or do any flashy handshakes after he hits home runs.

It’s not like he doesn’t have enough opportunities.

Utley connected twice Monday night to tie Reggie Jackson’s record for homers in a World Series, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Yankees 8-6 in Game 5 to avoid elimination.

Utley is batting .333 (6 for 18) with five homers and eight RBIs against the Yankees. His success means more cameras follow him around. Utley – no surprise – prefers to avoid the microphones.

“It’s not my favorite part,” Utley said. “My favorite part is playing the game. But it obviously comes with the territory. You kind of learn how to deal with it as you grow. I’m getting a little bit more used to it.

But I’d rather just go out and play.”

Utley got the Phillies started with a big swing, and the rest of the slumping big boppers broke out of their hitting funk.

Utley hit a three-run shot off A.J. Burnett in the first inning and a solo homer off Phil Coke in the seventh.

Saints ground Falcons, improve to 7-0 on year HPU volleyball spikes WSSU

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Every time Drew Brees and the Saints’ potent offense stumbles, New Orleans’ resurgent defense is right there to pick up the slack.

The Saints intercepted three Matt Ryan passes, with Jabari Greer returning one 48 yards for the club’s sixth defensive touchdown this season, and New Orleans stayed perfect with a 3527 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night.

“Obviously, the defense is playing great,” Brees said. “They’re doing a great job of taking the ball away. Our scoring defense has been unbelievable.

They’ve had the ability to create momentum for our side of the ball.”

It’s no wonder the Saints have matched the best start in franchise history at 7-0, something only the 1991 Saints had done before.

Greer’s touchdown was the Saints’ fifth score on an interception this season, tying a single-season franchise mark set in 1998. The Saints have at least one interception in every game this season and a total of 16, one more than they had all of last season.

“The way we’ve been able to (get turnovers) and score is a big reason we’re where we’re at right now,” Saints coach Sean Payton said.

Tracy Porter’s interception on the

Saints’ 1-yard line, on a pass tipped

by Jonathan Vilma, preserved a 28-24, fourth-quarter lead after Pierre Thomas’ fumble had given Atlanta the ball on at the Saints’ 35.

Still, the Falcons stayed in it until the end, getting a 40-yard field goal from Jason Elam with 28 seconds left, then recovering an onside kick. Ryan only had time for a desperation heave in the final seconds, and Darren Sharper turned it into his seventh interception of the season.

With big plays on both sides of the ball, New Orleans has been able to get away with committing four turnovers against Miami and Atlanta in back-to-back weeks and still come away triumphant.

Brees, responsible for two turnovers against the Falcons, passed for 308 yards and two scores. Thomas scored two touchdowns to help atone for his fumble.

“We did a lot of things well and yet we did a lot of things that made it close at the end,” Payton said.

The Falcons, by contrast, have lost two straight for the first time under second-year coach Mike Smith in large part because they couldn’t overcome their mistakes.

Ryan has now been intercepted at least twice in three straight games, but Smith said he’s “not concerned at all.”

No change in FedEx Cup point system THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The PGA Tour is leaving the FedEx Cup just as it is with the playoff schedule and points system.

Rick George, chief of operations for the PGA Tour, said any adjustment to the points system was not on the agenda and not discussed at a policy board meeting earlier this week.

“We think the FedEx Cup did a lot of positive things and met the objectives we set for it,” George said Tuesday.

“We don’t anticipate it changing.”

It would be the first time since the FedEx Cup began in 2006 that the points system was left alone.

Tiger Woods won the $10 million bonus this year with two runner-up finishes and a victory during the FedEx Cup playoffs, although four players had a chance to win the cup on the back nine of the Tour Championship.

The playoff schedule will stay the same for the third straight year, which includes a week off after the third playoff event, the BMW Championship on Sept. 9-12 outside Chicago. The Tour Championship is Sept. 23-26.

PGA Tour officials had been polling players about changing the playoff schedule in 2010 because of the Ryder Cup, which will be played in Wales the week after the Tour Championship.

Most U.S. team members will be playing five times in six weeks, concluding with one of the most draining weeks in golf at the Ryder Cup. Among the options were to have the dark week after two playoff events, although most players figured it would be better to take a break after two playoff events only in non-Ryder Cup years.

Meanwhile, the Turning Stone Resort Championship which had been part of the Fall Series, has been moved into the FedEx Cup portion of the schedule as an opposite-field event. Turning Stone will be played Aug. 5-8, the same week as the Bridgestone Invitational.

While it no longer is held in October, Turning Stone – in Verona, N.Y. – will not have access to top players who will be competing at a World Golf Championship.

The 2010 season begins Jan. 7 with the SBS Championship at Kapalua for previous year’s champions, and continues with the Sony Open in Honolulu and the Bob Hope Classic in the California desert.

The tour has 37 events during the FedEx Cup season, adding The Greenbrier Classic in West Virginia the last week in July to replace the Buick Open.

The Fall Series portion of the schedule was not released.

HIGH POINT – The High Point University volleyball team improved to 15-14 overall with a 25-8, 25-11, 25-12 win over Winston-Salem State Tuesday at the Millis Center.

The Panthers outhit the Rams .354 to -.053 for the match and High Point had 11 service aces in the win.

“I was impressed with our serving effort tonight,” said head coach Jason Oliver. “The support and overall chemistry of everyone on the team is something to build on heading in to our conference games this weekend.”

Freshmen outside hitters Courtney Johnk and Molly Barlow led the team with five kills each. Johnk also added one block assist and Barlow four digs, one service ace and a block assist. Freshman setter Stephanie Kaminskas had a match-high 17 assists.

Sloan scored two goals in 33 seconds in the Panthers’ 4-0 win at VMI. Sloan leads the Panthers with five goals and 12 points in his first collegiate season. He is currently tied for fifth in the conference in goals and seventh in the conference in points.

HPU returns to Vert Stadium today to host Liberty in the final conference game of the season for both squads. The Panthers are currently tied with Winthrop for first place in the Big South with one game remaining for both teams in conference play.

HPU sophomore Curtis Brotherton, who starred at Ledford, shot 70 for the second consecutive round to finish tied for seventh at 140.

Panther junior Nick Goins, another Ledford product, tied for 38th after his second-round 74 left him at 146. Freshman Chase Wilson finished two strokes behind Goins in a tie for 47th with a

Duke stages exhibition rout of Findlay DURHAM (AP) – Kyle Singler scored 20 points and No. 9 Duke wrapped up its preseason by routing Findlay 84-48 on Tuesday night.

Jon Scheyer added 19 points for the Blue Devils. They shot 41.2 percent, held the defending Division II national champions to 25.3 percent shooting and outscored them 24-4 to open the second half.

Brian Zoubek capped that overwhelming burst with a free throw to make it 60-27 with about 121⁄2 minutes to play.

Miles Plumlee had 10 rebounds and Singler was 8 for 12 from the field for Duke. The Blue Devils open the regular season Nov. 13 against UNC Greensboro.

Marcus Parker scored 14 points to lead the Oilers.

Also Tuesday, it was announced that Duke guard Nolan Smith will sit out two games because he played in an unsanctioned summer league.

Smith said Tuesday night after the Blue Devils’ 84-48 exhibition victory over Findlay that he was suspended because he played a game with overseas players and professionals over the summer near his Washington, D.C. hometown.

The junior will miss the opener against UNC Greensboro on Nov. 13 and a game three nights later against Coastal Carolina. He didn’t play in the first half against Findlay.

BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

PREP FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK: Only 24 teams across the state remain unbeaten entering the final week of the regular season.

Is anyone surprised that Ragsdale can be counted among that group?

The Tigers visit Simeon Stadium on Friday with plenty on the line. A win over High Point Central would give the Tigers first place in the Piedmont Triad 4A Conference, an ultra-high seed in the 4A playoffs and yet another perfect record entering the postseason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very proud of our kids and football program to be in that situation,â&#x20AC;? Tigers coach Tommy Norwood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It says something to once again have this opportunity.â&#x20AC;?

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team went 11-0 before falling to eventual state champ Dudley in the third round of the playoffs. Ragsdale also enjoyed perfection in the 2001 and 2002 regular seasons, but has yet to reach the state championship game this decade.

The secret to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success, Norwood said, is an impressive group of 24 seniors.

Five three-year starters lead the way in Neil Jones, Daniel McNeil, Cedric Ellison, Billy Stone and Walt Sparks.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise that each plays on the defense and that Ragsdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dâ&#x20AC;? is averaging an impressive 6.0 points per game allowed this fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They go hand-in-hand,â&#x20AC;? Norwood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a compliment to them and a compliment to that defensive coaching staff (featuring Johnny Boykin and Derek Anderson).â&#x20AC;?

PANTHERS ON THE PROWL Even in the wake of an 0-3 start, coach Chuck Henderson saw signs of life in his Ledford team. Now, the Panthers get to play for the Mid-Piedmont 3A Conference championship Friday at Northeast Guilford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the Southwest Guilford game (a 28-13 defeat), I thought they started to believe in what they were doing, trusting each other, playing hard,â&#x20AC;? Henderson explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The open week, they made a commitment to just play hard, and we kept telling them and telling them that if they just play hard, that will take care of everything else and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a lot more fun because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get some wins.â&#x20AC;?

The victories did follow â&#x20AC;&#x201C; against West, East and Central Davidson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; before a disappointing 16-9 decision at North Forsyth to open MPC play. But the Panthers bounced back with three straight wins, including last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impressive effort over Southern Guilford, to set up this showdown.

Northeast is perfect in league play, while Ledford has the one loss and Southern and North each own two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just awesome,â&#x20AC;? Henderson said of playing for first. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had an opportunity to do in a couple years, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good statement for us as we move to 3A. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a pretty good fall (as a school in the 3A ranks).â&#x20AC;?

GETTING THERE Admittedly, Bishop McGuinnessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 7-0 start this season came against some of the worst teams in the state. But the Villainsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; only two defeats came against two of the best â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and by close margins.

After Bishop fell 9-7 to East Surry and 31-14 to Mount Airy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the top-ranked Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; closest game all year in the Northwest 1A/2A â&#x20AC;&#x201C; coach Charlie Jones lamented coming up short. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our effort was there, but we still have to learn to finish and execute in big games,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had 345 total yards, 14 first downs and over 200 yards passing (against Mount Airy), but that was mitigated by two turnovers at critical times in the game. We also gave up 400 yards, and that and two turnovers will not get you past a team like Mount Airy.â&#x20AC;?

Still, the Villains bounced back to beat West Stokes in a 33-32 thriller last week, showing some of that big-game fortitude Jones desired â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and then some!

Bishop trailed 26-7 with a minute left in the third quarter and took a 27-26 lead with three minutes to play. West scored with 1:20 remaining before the Villains marched 70 yards to the 1-yard line on a scramble

by Josh Rathburn. The clock actually hit all zeroes, but the officials ruled play should have stopped with three seconds to go due to the first down.

So Bishop lined up and punched it in from 1 yard out on a Jared Pluciniczak run to start the celebration ... except the refs forgot to put those 3 seconds on the clock and said â&#x20AC;&#x201C; after a 10-minute delay â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that the play had to be run again. Remarkably, Rathburn found the end zone on Take 2 and Bishop held on.

If the Villains can beat visiting North Stokes this week, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wrap up third place in a very competitive league and almost certainly host a firstround playoff game.

NUMBERS GAME Mention ADM in the Midwest and folks think ag giant Archer Daniels Midland. But in these parts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and at these times â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that acronym stands for Average Daily Membership.

Those are the figures used by the N.C. High School Athletic Association to figure which teams go big-A and little-A in the prep football playoffs.

Of note for the locals: 4A: Myers Park rules the roost (2,988 students) and Greensboro Smith is the baby (1,286). Glenn (1,535), Ragsdale (1,509), Southwest Guilford (1,462) and High Point Central (1,430) are locks to be 4A. 3A: Cabarrus Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jay M.

Robinson leads the 3AA ranks at 1,498 students, while the new school built to relieve overcrowding there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cox Mill â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is the smallest 3A with 769 kids.

Ledford (1,167) appears to be on the 3AA/3A borderline â&#x20AC;&#x201C; attendance figures arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used until after the 64 postseason qualifiers are determined â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while Southern Guilford (1,066) will go small.

2A: Charlotteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Berry Academy is the biggee of this group at 1,225 students, while Pender Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Topsail High leads the way among traditional schools at 1,078. Wheatmore is the smallest of the lot at 609 as it awaits a senior class next fall.

East Davidson (1,000) and T. Wingate Andrews (957) should go 2AA, while Trinity (863) sits in the middle. Thomasville (715) is seventh smallest in the group.

1A: Monroe is the beast here at 830 students, while Creswell High â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that blur you failed to notice on Highway 64 an hour from Nagshead â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is the baby at 111 students. Bishop (548) likely will go 1AA and South Davidson (492) is on the low end of the middle of the pack.

THATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S A WRAP Next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prep football rewind will feature the final regular-season standings and statistics, but this notebook will be replaced by capsules of the first-round playoff games.

As such, this is a good time to thank all the coaches and statisticians who made this page possible. I put it together, but they provide much of the content.

Each Friday just shy of midnight, the first stats package comes in from Ragsdale assistant Derek Anderson. East Davidson coach Bryan Lingerfelt isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t far behind on the e-mail.

Then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Glenn statistician Tony Hall, Southern Guilford stat man Eric Brown, Bishop coach Charlie Jones, Trinity assistant Harry Loeffler, the Ledford crew of Mike McSwain, Wayne Saintsing, Tim Rickard and Scott Hilton. Thomasville updates its school Web site with numbers each week, and coaches at other schools chip in with stats when the Enterprise has to miss one of their games.

Football fans love their numbers, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a labor of love from a lot of different folks that enables the HPE to bring this right-hand column to you each week. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

COLLEGE BASKETBALL THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2009 www.hpe.com

5C

Coach carries high hopes for GTCC men SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

Maryland, Williams expect big things in 2009-10 season

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A year ago, Gary Williams took a small Maryland team with only one senior to the second round of the NCAA tournament.

Before he got there, the fiery coach endured a home loss to Morgan State, a 41-point thrashing at Duke and harsh criticism from columnists and fans for supposedly allowing the program to deteriorate since it won the national championship in 2002.

Come March, Williams was completely vindicated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was one of the most rewarding teams that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever coached,â&#x20AC;? he said recently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we did at the end of the year, in terms of our dedication to being good and our ability to bounce back from some tough things, was very gratifying to me.â&#x20AC;?

This season, Williams has a totally different kind of team. Eight of the top nine players are back, including seniors Greivis Vasquez, Eric Hayes and Landon Milbourne. Just as important, 6-foot10 freshman Jordan Williams and 6-8 freshman James Padgett are expected to provide Maryland with a much-needed presence in the front court.

Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; job this season is to make sure the Terrapins live up to high expectations by breaking into the Top 25 and moving deep into the NCAA tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The one thing you learn in coaching is nothingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s automatic. Just because you return a lot of guys, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just going to walk out on the court and all those things are going to happen,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to grind it as a coach and we have to make sure the guys understand that the more you win, the more individual things you receive as a basketball player.â&#x20AC;?

Vasquez, a 6-6 guard, appears to have bought into the credo. As a junior, he became the first player to lead the Terrapins in points (17.5 per game), assists (5) and rebounds (5.4) in the same season.

He flirted with the idea of entering the NBA draft, but opted to tend to unfinished business at Maryland.

Vasquez figures the better the Terrapins fare, the higher he goes in the draft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the whole team,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we win games, my nameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be there.â&#x20AC;?

A year ago, the Terrapins needed

someone like Vasquez, who was brash enough not to back down at Duke, North Carolina or anywhere else in the Atlantic Coast Conference. He intends to be a bit more under control this year, mainly because he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to carry the team on his own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be fun. The competition level is better. The guys, they want to beat me. They want to be better than me,â&#x20AC;? Vasquez said of his teammates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you have guys that want to be better than you and want to kick your butt in practice no matter who you are, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when you become a good team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not happy because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to get all this publicity. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy because my guys have gotten so much better from when last season ended to right now,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a huge factor this season because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have more options. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have seven, eight, maybe nine guys that are going to play.â&#x20AC;?

Starters Milbourne and Hayes averaged double figures in points last season, and forward Adrian Bowie expects to contribute more after starting 28 games as a sophomore. Forward Cliff Tucker intends to step it up after averaging 20 points in two games against North Carolina, and sophomore guard Sean Mosley (5.3 ppg) worked hard to be more of a force on the offensive end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve definitely improved my shooting, my speed and my footwork from last year,â&#x20AC;? Mosley said.

The key, however, could be the two freshmen. Maryland overcame its height deficiency last year, but that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be an issue if Padgett and Jordan Williams live up to the hype. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jordan is very tough inside, a physical player, very strong with good hands,â&#x20AC;? the coach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the keys for me coaching is to have the ability to score inside and outside. Jordan is a good enough passer to kick it out or score inside. We have to get those two guys up to speed with the rest of the players.â&#x20AC;?

If that can happen, the Terrapins could be very good. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to put a banner up in the rafters. This can be a big year for us,â&#x20AC;?

Bowie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I definitely feel like we now have everything to go against the top teams in the nation, not just the ACC.â&#x20AC;?

UConnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Moore leads womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AP preseason All-America team THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Preseason or postseason, Maya Moore is making a habit of racking up honors.

The UConn junior became just the seventh unanimous choice on The Associated Pressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; preseason All-America team Tuesday, garnering all 40 votes from a national media panel. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the third straight year a player has been a unanimous choice in the preseason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great honor to be mentioned with them,â&#x20AC;? said Moore, who was one vote short of being an unanimous choice last preseason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been truly blessed to have such great teammates.â&#x20AC;?

Moore was joined on the preseason squad by teammate Tina Charles, Stanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jayne Appel, Ohio Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jantel Lavender, and Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Monica Wright. It was the fifth time two players from the same team made the All-America squad.

UConn also had two of the four other pairs of teammates on a preseason team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jen Rizzotti and Kara Wolters in 1995-96 and Shea Ralph and Svetlana Abrosimova in 2000-01.

Moore has already made the AllAmerica team in her first two years and was the APâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s player of the year last season. She averaged 19.3 points and 8.9 rebounds last season in helping UConn to a 39-0 record. The Huskies are a unanimous No. 1 in the preseason poll this year Charles stepped up her game in the NCAA tournament, earning most outstanding player honors. The senior center is on pace to set the school career scoring record.

UConnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Calhoun looks to run more this season STORRS, Conn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if he has a better team than the one he took to the Final Four last season, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confident it will be more athletic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like our quickness,â&#x20AC;?

Calhoun said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to play together. I think the ball will move better.â&#x20AC;?

Connecticut has led the nation in blocks for eight consecutive years.

But 7-foot-3 Hasheem Thabeet, who averaged 4 blocks per game, Jeff Adrien and guards Craig Austrie and A.J. Price are all gone.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s UConnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest loss of talent since 2006.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tina really has made huge strides in consistency over the last few months starting with the NCAA tournament and going through the summer playing with USA basketball,â&#x20AC;? Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She saw what she can do and now just needs to do it every game.â&#x20AC;?

Appel also made a splash in the NCAA tournament. She scored 46 points in the regional finals against Iowa State and followed up with a 26point effort in the national semifinals loss to UConn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a thrill to be an All-American,â&#x20AC;? the Stanford senior said.

Moore, Charles, and Appel were among the 23 invitees to USA basketballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national team training camp that took place at the end of September. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really is flattering to be considered among the best of the best,â&#x20AC;? Appel said.

Lavender averaged 20.8 points and 10.7 rebounds in helping Ohio State to a 29-6 record and a Big Ten title. She is just the second Ohio State player, joining Jessica Davenport, to be honored as a preseason All-America.

Wright became the first Virginia player to earn preseason honors since Wendy Palmer in 1995-96. Palmer is now an assistant coach with the Cavaliers. Wright was surprised to learn she had now joined her coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow. That is quite an honor,â&#x20AC;?

Wright said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be in the same category as Wendy is truly special.â&#x20AC;?

The senior guard led Virginia with 20.5 points and will be called upon to provide more leadership this year with the Cavs having such a young team.

In this Feb. 25, 2009 file photo, Maryland coach Gary Williams calls a play against Duke during the first half of a game in College Park, Md. This season, Williams has a totally different kind of team. Eight of the top nine players are back and are expected to provide Maryland with a much-needed presence in the front court.

JAMESTOWN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A freshman-dominated menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team could become the best squad Guilford Technical Community College has put on the court since the game became a part of the sports program at the college three years ago, according to coach Phil Gaffney.

Entering their fourth season, Gaffney said the Titans could compete for a national title. GTCC plays in Region 10, Division II of the National Junior College Athletic Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some outstanding players, and they can become a nationally ranked team if they apply themselves,â&#x20AC;?

Gaffney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m beginning my fourth season here and this promises to be my best team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two of our teams won 20 games but this team should do even better. This is a great freshman class. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty excited about what we can accomplish.â&#x20AC;?

The Titans got off to a good start Sunday in their season opener, beating Southside Virginia Community College. 87-72. Southside was the state champion among Virginia community colleges last season.

The Titans are coming off a 12-20 record, which is Gaffneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst mark since he became a head coach 15 years ago. No member of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad is on the 2009-10 roster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last season didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out well because of a combination of reasons,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played in a higher division, and we had some injuries and also some players that we had counted on didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show up to play,â&#x20AC;? he said.

GTCC is not without some veteran players who are expected to provide leadership to a squad that includes 10 freshmen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have three players who

played well for us two years ago and sat out last,â&#x20AC;? Gaffney said.

A South American player, Charlon Kloff, a 6-3 guard from Paramaribo, Suriname, â&#x20AC;&#x153;could end up being one of our best players,â&#x20AC;? Gaffney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is extremely quick and is fun to watch.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a jet on the court.â&#x20AC;?

Gaffney is excited about his trio of sophomores â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hadil Razzak of Greensboro, and TJ Holman and Alex Moore, both of Raleigh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Holman, a 6-1 guard, is bigger and stronger than two seasons ago. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great player and already is being recruited by four-year colleges.

He averaged 16 points a game his freshman year,â&#x20AC;? Gaffney said.

Moore, a 6-3 forward, who has recovered from a knee injury, has been moved from guard to forward in Gaffneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motion offense. Razzak will be in the rotation of 10 players that stresses â&#x20AC;&#x153;a very aggressiveâ&#x20AC;? man-to-man defense, and quickly getting the ball up court for possible easy shots, Gaffney said.

Justin Campbell, a 6-7 forward, former Greensboro Dudley player, transferred to GTCC from N.C. Wesleyan, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;he is ready to challenge for a starting spot,â&#x20AC;? Gaffney said. Campbell will be pushing another 6-7 forward, Leon Sampson of Silver Spring, Md., for playing time. Travis DeShazior of Fayetteville, a 5-10 guard, also is competing for a starting position.

Gaffney noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a tremendous freshmen class and I expect all of them to make contributions. Besides Sampson, out-of-state recruits include Kihari Blue of Syracuse, Shahid Brown of Newark and Chris Carter of Silver Spring. Anthony Jones, 6-4, of Fayetteville, Mike Jones, 5-10, and Chaz Everette, 6-3, a guard from Chadbourn round out the 13-man squad.

Madoff’s auditor pleads guilty to fraud NEW YORK – Bernard Madoff’s longtime auditor pleaded guilty to securities fraud charges Tuesday, saying he failed to do his job to verify the disgraced money manager’s financial records but did not know Madoff was running history’s biggest Ponzi scheme.

David Friehling, 49, entered the plea in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, apologizing to the thousands of victims who lost billions of dollars while he audited Madoff’s financial records between 1991 and 2008.

The plea was part of a cooperation deal with prosecutors.

Orszag: Job creation will lag in recovery MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON – The pace of job creation will lag even as the U.S. economy recovers, White House budget director Peter Orszag warned Tuesday, adding that the coming months “will continue to be difficult ones for American workers.”

In remarks prepared for delivery at New York University, the director

of the Office of Management and Budget said the economy is “somewhere between” the stages when hours worked increase and additional workers are hired.

“Unfortunately,” Orszag said, “even as the economy begins to turn around, the employment picture isn’t going to brighten immediately – as the contrast between the recently reported GDP numbers and the unemployment

numbers that we are expecting later this week will likely illustrate.”

Economists surveyed

by MarketWatch expect that nonfarm payrolls shed 150,000 jobs in October and that the U.S. unemployment rate will tick up to 9.9 percent.

The report is due out Friday morning.

The U.S. economy grew by 3.5 percent in the third quarter, the Commerce

WINSTON-SALEM – Dell Inc. has made its early payback of local incentives, city of WinstonSalem officials said this week.

Lee Garrity, the city manager, said Dell made a wire transfer for the entire $26.5 million last night. He said the amount excludes the small discount of $66,277 that Dell got for paying the money back early.

Dell repaid about $15.5 million to the city, about $7.9 million to Forsyth County, about $2.8 million to the Millennium Fund and about $308,000 to Forsyth County Development Corp.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The head of Rhode Island-based Citizens Financial Group says it won’t be sold by its parent company, the Royal Bank of Scotland, as a condition of the British government pouring billions of dollars into the firm.

Chief Executive Officer Ellen Alemany says RBS’s announcement Tuesday that Citizens is not among the assets it will sell affirms that the banking firm in Providence is “a valued part of the RBS Group.”

Mainline enters Chapter 7 liquidation

Lower costs boost MasterCard profit NEW YORK – MasterCard Inc. said Tuesday its third-quarter profit was bolstered by continued cost-cutting measures and an increase in the number of transactions it processed.

However, worldwide purchase volume grew only 0.4 percent on a local currency basis during the quarter, providing further evidence that a global economic recovery is likely to be slow.

ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

DILBERT

Last week, the White House said that the stimulus plan directly created or saved more than 650,000 jobs and that it’s “solidly on track” to meet its job-creation goal of 3.5 million jobs by the end of 2010.

Orszag also repeated that Obama is committed to cutting the federal deficit and that health-care reform legislation before Congress won’t add to the deficit.

Dell to refund money early

Citizens CEO says it won’t be sold

DURHAM – Mainline Contracting, a Durham construction company that reported $73 million in revenue last year, has converted its bankruptcy filing from a reorganization to Chapter 7 liquidation, and as a result, has put nearly 200 people out of work.

The conversion was approved in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina on Oct.

Department reported last week.

Orszag and others credit the $787 billion economicstimulus bill signed by President Barack Obama earlier this year with adding to growth and creating jobs.

“Effectively all the growth in real GDP during the third quarter could be attributable – either directly or indirectly – to the recovery act,” Orszag said.

Because of the discount, Dell kept about $39,000 of the city’s money and $20,000 of the county money. Dell also kept $7,000 of the Millennium Fund payment and about $800 of the amount owed to Forsyth County Development Corp. All the groups worked together to bring Dell to Forsyth County in 2004.

In October, Dell announced it would close its computer-assembly plant here in January and eliminate about 900 jobs, including about 600 by mid-November.

The company said at that time it would pay back the incentives it received to move here, but was not required to do so until the plant closed.

Automakers report sales increases FILE | AP

F-35 Lightning II assembly line workers Virginia Boyd (top) and Johnney Watson (bottom) work on a cockpit at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company in Fort Worth, Texas, in August.

Factory orders rise 0.9 percent WASHINGTON (AP) – Orders to U.S. factories rebounded in September, helped by strength in autos, heavy machinery and military aircraft.

The fifth increase in six months bolstered hopes that a revival in manufacturing will help support an overall economic recovery.

The worry is that if consumer spending falters in coming months, orders will slump again.

The Commerce Department said Tuesday that orders rose 0.9 percent in September, slightly better than the 0.8 percent gain economists had expected.

Demand increased for both durable goods, and nondurable goods such as chemicals and energy products.

New orders for durable

goods, items expected to last at least three years, advanced 1.4 percent, better than the 1 percent estimate the government made last week.

Demand for heavy machinery jumped 7.9 percent, the biggest gain in 18 months. There also was strong demand for military aircraft, which helped offset a second straight drop in orders for commercial airplanes.

Orders for nondurable goods rose 0.6 percent following a 0.9 percent increase in August, led by petroleum, chemicals and food products.

Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at MFR Inc. in New York, noted that orders for non-defense capital goods ex-

cluding aircraft – a good proxy for business investment plans – posted a solid 1.8 percent rise in September after two straight declines.

DETROIT (AP) – Chrysler Group LLC says its October sales fell 30 percent below the same month last year.

But they improved from September when the U.S. auto industry had a hangover from the government’s summertime Cash for Clunkers program.

Meanwhile, strong demand for cars and crossovers lifted Ford’s U.S. sales 3 percent in October, a positive sign for automakers who are hoping a healthier economy will draw buyers back to showrooms.

The maker of the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram truck brands says it sold 65,803 vehicles last month, up 6 percent from September.

Chrysler, which is announcing a new product strategy today, is aiming to show steady improvement from month to month as the U.S. economy starts to emerge from its yearlong slump. The automaker’s sales dropped 42 percent in September following the end of hefty clunker rebates.

Ford said sales rose 21 percent in September.

INDEX

Rising commodity prices lift stocks NEW YORK (AP) – Investors sidestepped some of their doubts about the economy and bought energy and industrial stocks as commodity prices rose.

Stocks ended backand-forth trading mostly higher Tuesday as a spike in the price of gold and corporate dealmaking extended an advance from Monday.

The gains in commodity prices helped stocks pare early losses.

The Dow Jones industrial average slipped 18 points, while broader indexes rose.

Investors drew some comfort from billionaire investor Warren Buffett’s decision to pay $100 a share for Burlington Northern Santa Fe in a deal valuing the railroad at $34 billion.

Meanwhile, tool maker Stanley Works struck a deal to acquire Black & Decker Corp. for $3.46 billion in stock.

Commodities rose broadly and gold jumped to a new high after India’s central bank bought $6.7 billion worth of gold from

the International Monetary Fund. Even with the gains in commodities, traders remained on edge about unemployment and the overall strength of an economic recovery.

Health care products maker Johnson & Johnson said it would cut up to 7 percent of its global work force and streamline its business structure to save up to $900 million next year.

Financial stocks fell after the Royal Bank of Scotland got a $41 billion infusion from the U.K. government.

Analysts said a break in the advance could ease worries that the market has run too far.

The Dow fell 17.53, or 0.2 percent, to 9,771.91, after being down as much as 86 points.

The Dow rose 77 points Monday following reports of improvements in manufacturing and housing.

The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 2.53, or 0.2 percent, to 1,045.41.

The Nasdaq composite index rose 8.12, or 0.4 percent, to 2,057.32.

company confirmed adjusted profit guidance between $4.54 and $4.59 per share for 2009.

Johnson & Johnson plans to simplify its business structure and projects that it will save between $1.4 billion and $1.7 billion annually after the restructuring is complete in 2011.

The company, the world’s most diversified healthproducts maker, saw its revenue fall 5 percent in the third quarter as intensifying generic competition slashed sales of about a half-dozen of its prescrip-

tion drugs, including the schizophrenia drug Risperdal and the epilepsy treatment Topamax.

Chairman and CEO William C. Weldon said the moves are meant to position the company for longterm growth in an evolving, and sometimes turbulent, market. a“These types of changes are difficult under any circumstances, and will have a very personal impact on people who have been dedicated to the mission of Johnson & Johnson,” he said. “We recognize

their contributions to the achievements of our business, and are committed to treating them fairly and with respect throughout this process.”

The new restructuring program comes on the heels of management’s decision to reorganize its comprehensive care business in August. That unit was created under a 2008 restructuring program with the goal of boosting sales, though sales were down during the first half of 2009.

The unit makes medical devices and tests.

Berkshire buying Burlington Northern RR railroad also ships a large amount of goods – including everyday items such as refrigerators, clothing and TVs – from Western ports like Los Angeles, Long Beach, Calif. and Seattle.

Analysts say Buffett is planting both feet in an industry that is poised to grow as the economy gets back on solid ground. If approved, it would be the biggest acquisition ever for Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

Berkshire Hathaway already owns about 22 percent of Burlington Northern, and said it will pay $100 a share in cash and stock for the rest of the company, a 31.5 percent premium on Burlington Northern’s Monday closing price.

Shareholders have the option to convert their stock for a cash payment of $100 per share or receive Berkshire Class A or Class B common

NEW YORK (AP) – Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. on Tuesday agreed to buy Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp., making a $34 billion bet on the future of the U.S. economy.

Burlington Northern, the nation’s second-largest railroad, is the biggest hauler of food products like corn and coal for electricity, making it an indicator of the country’s economic health. The

NEW YORK (AP) – Johnson & Johnson said Tuesday it will trim layers of management, cut thousands of jobs, and set other restructuring moves in order to save up to $900 million next year.

The New Brunswick, N.J., company said the cuts will affect 6 to 7 percent of its global work force of roughly 118,700 workers, or potentially more than 8,000 jobs.

The layoffs will prompt a restructuring charge of up to $1.3 billion pretax in the fourth quarter. Still, the

“Berkshire’s $34 billion investment in BNSF is a huge bet on that company, CEO Matt Rose and his team, and the railroad industry,” Buffett said in a statement.

“Most important of all, however, it’s an all-in wager on the economic future of the United States. I love these bets,” he said.

Viacom profit jumps on strong box office NEW YORK (AP) – G.I. Joe and the Transformers came to Viacom Inc.’s rescue in the third quarter, helping boost the company’s earnings 15 percent with strong box office returns.

Viacom, the media conglomerate controlled by billionaire Sumner Redstone, owns a wide range of media properties including the MTV and BET cable networks and the “Rock Band” video-game franchise.

Britain puts more money in banks LONDON (AP) – The British government moved Tuesday to break up the country’s two biggest retail banks, imposing a major shakeup on the financial sector as it exacts payback for last year’s massive state bailout at the height of the financial crisis.

The government also injected billions of pounds more of taxpayer funds into Royal Bank of Scotland PLC and Lloyds Group PLC, underscoring worries the banking sector is not out of trouble yet.

Oil prices rise as Fed meets NEW YORK (AP) – Oil prices rose Tuesday as the Federal Reserve began a two-day policy meeting on interest rates.

Benchmark crude for December delivery gained 63 cents to $78.76 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Since oil is largely bought and sold in dollars, investors holding stronger currencies can buy more crude for less and have done so in recent months, sending the price of benchmark crude to $82 near the end of October.

Though the central bank isn’t expected to take any action on interest rates, statements issued after such meetings can hint at the Fed’s take on the state of the economy.

Corps starts $1 billion barrier for western New Orleans HARVEY, La. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mindful that the suburban West Bank of New Orleans has regained its pre-Hurricane Katrina population and is primed for growth, the Army Corps of Engineers is launching a $1 billion effort to keep the next storm at bay.

The new flood protection is already having a potentially dangerous consequence, though: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s encouraging more people to move into another bowlshaped area that experts consider perhaps the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

most vulnerable flank.

While New Orleansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; population plummeted by 300,000 after Katrina, residents quickly returned to the west bank of the Mississippi River, many under the mistaken impression that the area was safer.

The fact that the West Bank didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t flood was mainly chance, however.

Engineers say the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 250,000 residents are exposed to surge from a storm coming in at just the right angle, thanks to drainage canals that feed in.

Wesleyan offers a wonderful environment for children to grow spiritually, academically, socially and emotionally. We provide children with the needed academic building blocks and a wide variety of extracurricular activities... all in a safe and nurturing environment.

SPECIAL | HPE

Amanda Covington loads poinsettias for delivery. The Junior League of High Point raised $28,000 with last year’s plant sale.

Plant sale Junior League fundraiser supports projects in community

BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – The Junior League of High Point’s annual poinsettia sale, now in its third year, has turned into a bloomin’ good fundraiser.

“All of the proceeds go to benefit projects that we support in and around High Point,” explains Sara Britt Grein, chairwoman of the poinsettia sale, “so it’s a great opportunity to spread some Christmas cheer and do some good for High Point along the way.”

Last year’s poinsettia sale raised approximately $28,000 for Junior League projects, according to Grein.

This year, Junior League members are selling potted bouquets of red or white poinsettias through Nov. 20.

They come in three sizes – 6, 8 or 10 inches – and are designed by the floral supplier for Walt Disney World parks. The small version of three to five blooms sells for $9 apiece, the medium version of eight or more blooms costs $18, and the largest size of 10 or more blooms sells for $25.

SPECIAL | HPE

Junior League President Cindy Jarrell (left) and President-Elect Ericka Best-Hunt hope for successful poinsettia sale.

“We’re so pleased to be able to offer these poinsettias to the community again this year,” Grein says.

“We have received such positive feedback about the quality and beauty of these flowers. You can decorate your home or business while helping support the local community. Additionally, with the focus on ‘going green,’ these plants make the perfect

‘green’ gifts for friends and family.”

Many churches also purchase poinsettias through the Junior League to decorate their sanctuaries, according to Grein. The plants are also popular with nursing homes, she adds.

Proceeds from the poinsettia sale fund various Junior League projects in the High Point community, including:

• Kids in the Kitchen, which teaches underprivileged children about nutrition and obesity.

• The Children’s Learning Center, a kindergarten readiness program – offered in conjunction with the High Point Museum – which covers such important issues as immunization schedules and after-school care resources.

• Mini-grants for area publicschool teachers.

Poinsettias can be purchased through any Junior League of High Point member or at the Junior League’s headquarters, located at 1103 N. Main St. They can also be purchased online at www.jlhp.org.

Ordered poinsettias will be available for pickup Dec. 4 and 5, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., at Dali Distributing Co., 1670 English Road.

Any plants not picked up will be resold or donated to a charitable organization.

For more information, contact Grein at (336) 906-1721 or grein@ triad.rr.com, or call the Junior League offices at 889-5479. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Candlelight vigil targets lung cancer ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

W

INSTON-SALEM – The inaugural Shine a Light on Lung Cancer vigil will be held from 5 to 7 p.m.

Thursday at Cancer Services, 3175 Maplewood Avenue.

The event, which is free and open to the public, is one of more than 30 vigils taking place in 20 states across the country.

Shine a Light on Lung Cancer will provide an opportunity to encourage those touched by lung

cancer to celebrate the fragility of life and share a moment of silence for those who lost their battle with lung cancer. A proclamation declaring November as Lung Cancer Awareness Month will be read.

Speakers will include lung cancer survivor and advocate Thea Laydon, lung cancer nurse navigators Angie Flynn and Cynthia Smart and others. There will also be an opportunity for those attending to share a few words.

Vigil candles and glow bracelets will help shine a light on the nation’s leading cause of cancer death. In 2009, lung cancer will claim more lives than breast, prostate, colon, liver, kidney and melanoma cancers combined.

Two out of three people diagnosed with lung cancer will be people who have never smoked or former smokers who quit smoking decades ago.

Light refreshments will be provided.

The 2009 Festival of Trees will be held at the Education Building on the Dixie Classic Fairgrounds on Nov. 21, from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m., and on Nov. 22, from noon until 5 p.m.

Admission is $6 for adults and $3 for children ages 2-12. Tickets are sold only at the door.

The centerpieces of the festival are 40 Christmas trees, each decorated in a holiday theme by community volunteers and the Friends of Brenner Children’s Hospital.

The festival will have a wide range of specialty shops with an assortment of gifts.

Santa Claus will arrive Nov. 21 for a special breakfast from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. He will be on hand to listen to every child’s wish list, and his elf will be there to take photos. Children under 12 may go to the children’s activities area to make crafts, play games or visit the Children’s Shop (no adults allowed) and purchase gifts, all under $6, for family, teachers and friends.

Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Sean “Diddy” Combs, 40; Matthew McConaughey, 40; Ralph Macchio, 48; Markie Post, 59 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You have to live and act in the moment this year. Strive for perfection and originality and don’t be afraid to be different. You will be at your best when representing something you believe in, so don’t bother with anything that doesn’t move you. Focus, protect and persevere.

Your numbers are 8, 12, 25, 33, 36, 41, 44 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Put your heart and soul into the development of something you really want to pursue. You will be able to maneuver your position to fit your own needs if you have a sound plan and the right people involved. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have to be upfront about what you want and the way you see things unfolding if you want the same in return.

Once you have laid your cards on the table, it will be much easier to strike a deal. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You will miss out if you don’t get involved in something that requires extra hours or taking on work that will prove how valuable you are. This is the perfect time to impress someone personally or professionally with your versatility. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Look for answers in unusual places. It will give you a greater sense of what you can do and how far you can go. Showing others your diversity will open all sorts of options that have been out of reach in the past. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Work on personal aspects of your life and you will ease some of the stress you’ve been feeling. A partnership opportunity will open up through a mutual friend or someone you have partnered with in the past.

Don’t let jealousy cause you to miss out. ★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may be surprised by a colleague’s underhandedness. Protect your position by going the extra mile to do a stellar job. Your stability will depend on the precision and detail you include in your work and everyday chores. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You can accomplish whatever you set out to do. Now is the time to travel, share your ideas and launch something that excites you. Plan a little romance for late in the day. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Offer your talent and services to an organization you are dedicated to help. You will be introduced to someone who will help you get some of your work published or recognized in the future. Nurture all your relationships now. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will recognize an opportunity that will influence your life personally and professionally. Someone you know well will challenge you for jumping in quickly but, this time, you have to follow your heart and fulfill your own needs. Recognition is heading your way. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Rely on your past experience to help you see clearly now. An old partner will help you revisit some of the things you once strived for. A fresh start will breathe new life into an old plan. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You have plenty going for you but first you must let go of old grudges and stop blaming everyone (including yourself), for what’s happened in the past. Living in the present and looking toward the future will bring positive results. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Be careful how you conduct yourself. Someone will be watching every move you make. The more you stick to the rules, the better you will do and the more praise you will get. Work hard, play hard and be honest. ★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

“My wife and I have a system for settling arguments,” a fan writes. “We discuss the matter objectively and at length until she’s right.

“As the declarer at four spades I took the ace of hearts, drew trumps ending in dummy, and tried a club finesse with the jack. West took the queen, cashed the queen of hearts and led another heart.

“I ruffed and took the K-A of clubs. When East discarded, I still had a chance: I led a diamond to my jack, hoping East had the K-Q or a doubleton honor. No luck, and down I went.

HORRIBLE “The ‘argument’ was relatively brief. My wife said my bid of four spades was horrible and I should have tried 3NT. I guess she was right since I’d have had nine top tricks.”

I’m surprised North said nothing about the play at four spades.

South can win the first heart, take only the K-Q of trumps and exit with a heart. The “partial elimination” works: Whether West returns a heart (conceding a ruff-sluff), a diamond or a club, South gets his 10th trick.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 9 4 H K Q 10 5 D Q 7 C Q 10 8 6 4. Both sides vulnerable. The dealer, at your left, opens one spade. Your partner bids two diamonds, and the next player raises to two spades. What do you say?

ANSWER: You have enough values to compete but no attractive bid.

Many tournament players would make a “responsive double” to show length in the unbid suits.

If that action is unavailable to you, your diamond support is adequate for a bid of three diamonds.

South dealer Both sides vulnerable

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