The N.C. Employment Security Commission, the state’s job service agency, is asking employers to consider hiring veterans during Employ-A-Vet Week Nov. 9-15.

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Janie Ervin made her annual pilgrimage to downtown High Point Sunday afternoon to enjoy a parade and honor her country. Ervin, joined by friend Eleanor Wonce, found a spot near First Baptist Church to take in the 26th annual High Point Veterans Day Parade, which featured more than 200 units and drew onlookers to Main Street from Green Drive to Montlieu Avenue. “I come every year,” Ervin said while waiting for the festivities to begin. The parade holds special meaning for Ervin as well – one of her grandchildren is enrolled in a high school ROTC program and

More than 20,000 veterans exit military service in North Carolina each year. This year, local office staff placed nearly 18,000 registered veterans into new jobs, the ESC reports. More than 86,000 registered veterans received direct service from the ESC during the past year.

plans to go into the military reserves. A mixed crowd of older adults, individuals and families clapped as veterans, military units and ROTC detachments marched along Main Street. Many waved small, cloth

Jack Austin gives Mayor Becky Smothers a hug after she finished reading a proclamation honoring him for his many years of organizing the parade. American flags handed out to the crowd before the parade. In previous years, weather for the parade has ranged from beautiful conditions like late summer to brutal cold like the heart of winter. Fortunately, this year’s parade fell on a picture-postcard afternoon, with warm temperature and sunny skies.

The parade is the brainchild of 82year-old retired Marine Jack Austin, who launched it in 1984 as virtually a one-man show on his bright red motorcycle, riding up and down Main Street. Today, the High Point Veterans Day Parade has grown into one of the largest in the state.

THOMASVILLE – The Thomasville City Council gained two members last week who say they are ready to put their experience in working with municipalities to action. Jackie Jackson, 38, a former Richmond, Va. councilwoman and, Ronald Bratton, 57, Thomasville’s former police chief, were elected to the City Council, replacing longtime Councilmen Ricky Murphy and George Burton. While Bratton was the top vote-

getter, Burton lost his seat to Jackson by eight votes. “I think the main thing is that it will extremely impact my learning curve,” Jackson said of her experience in Richmond. “I should have a short learning curve. I know how city government works, and I know what city government can and cannot do.” Bratton, who worked at the Thomasville Police Department, also is looking forward to putting his knowledge of the Chair City to work. “I think it will help because I have an understanding of work-

ing with other city departments,” he said. “I think I have an understanding of the budget. Of course, there are always budget restraints for everything you do in government. One of the things I said, I was going to make the city work smarter and harder.” Bratton and Jackson both agree that bringing more jobs to the city of Thomasville is one of the major priorities. Jackson also wants to do something about vacant buildings, suggesting that the city enforce its codes. “I’m going to focus on

looking for some small businesses that we can help get started here in Thomasville to kind of rejuvenate our downtown area,” Jackson said. “That’s going to be one of the main focuses.” Aside from a wealth of experience in city government, Jackson and Bratton, both African-Americans, also bring more diversity to the City Council. The city of Thomasville hasn’t had two African-American council members serving at the same time since 1991, or more than one councilwoman since 1995 serving

at one time. Jackson joins the other female on council, Pat Harris Shelton. “I am so excited about that because for one, it tells me that Thomasville is ready to move forward,” Jackson said of the City Council’s diversity. “Thomasville sees and needs and understands the need for diversity in local government. Hopefully, with that makeup, we can take Thomasville in a different direction to where we are no longer held back by the lack of diversity.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

BURLINGTON – Burlington officials stopped the spraying of waste solids near an elementary school last month, but not before tanker trucks hauling the waste spread about 12 loads of solids early on the morning of Oct. 23. The spreading was

caught on video and is now on YouTube, an Internet video site. Environmental activists contacted AlamanceBurlington Schools administrators that day and asked them to tell Burlington to stop the spreading of biosolids on the fields near Sylvan Elementary School during school hours.

New Zealand lawmaker sculpted in manure WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) – A sculpture of a New Zealand government minister crafted from cow manure sold for New Zealand dollars 3,080 ($2,220) on an auction Web site. The bust of New Zealand Environment Minister Nick Smith, sculpted as a protest by artist Sam Mahon, attracted 112 bids be-

fore being picked up by an anonymous buyer Friday. Mahon said he created the sculpture, and chose the medium, to protest what he considers Smith’s too-soft stance on pollution created by dairy farms. He said the bust did not smell and would last forever. “The sculpture has a hollow head, which is very fitting. It is highly

polished and sits on the stand slightly to the right of center,” Mahon said. Mahon gathered cow dung from an organic dairy farm, ground it in a coffee grinder, mixed it with a polymer resin and pressed it into a mold. Smith joked about the tribute. “Excuse the pun, but I would describe it as crap art,” he said.

Students comment on longer school day, year Zalia Welborn’s sixth-grade students at Braxton Craven School in Trinity were asked to write letters to the editor and comment on President Obama’s possible plans for lengthening the school day or year. These are some of their thoughts: Dear editor: I think Mr. Obama should not extend our school days or our school year without some other changes. We students work very hard and extending our school day or reducing our summer vacation would be very stressful. Most of us are exhausted by the time we get home from school, and we still have homework to complete. If Mr. Obama would consider extending our school day one hour, doing away with homework and canceling Friday school then extending the school year would be acceptable. KAYLA DABBS Trinity Dear editor: I do not think that it is a good idea to extend the school year or day. We are at school for seven hours a day now. We need a break! If Mr. Obama extends the school day, most people will only have a few hours to eat dinner, do homework or engage in afterschool activities. It is just too much stress on kids! LANE MASHBURN Trinity Dear editor: I strongly disagree with Mr. Obama’s possible plan to make our school day/year longer! He must realize that it is not extended time in school that helps kids; it is the quality of teaching. DALTON WARD Trinity Dear editor: I enjoy going to school and learning. However, I do not think that the school day or the school year should be extended. Students need time after school to complete their homework and spend time with their families. I think that American students would be just fine if our school time were not lengthened. KALY ARNOLD Archdale Dear editor: I believe that Mr. Obama’s proposal to extend the school day or year is a good idea. However, there may be one small problem

Those geniuses have figured out that if they begin collecting revenues (taxes and Medicare cuts) in 2010, and begin phasing in benefits in 2014, and simply remove $250 billion from the plan and add it directly to the deficit elsewhere they can fool us idiots out here into believing this monstrosity is deficit neutral over 10 years. Some, mostly on the left, actually believe it! So with everything under control, Obama can play golf, campaign and demonize anyone who disagrees with his brilliant policies.

OUR MISSION

--- The High Point

Cultures clash for a father and a daughter W e don’t know why Faleh Hassan Almaleki came to this country in the mid-’90s, and it’s unlikely he’ll be able to tell us anytime soon. He’s in jail in Maricopa County, Ariz., at this writing, in lieu of a $5 million cash bond. It hardly seems far-fetched, however, to suppose he emigrated from his native Iraq for the same reason immigrants typically seek these shores: America promises opportunity and freedom. But one wonders if he truly knew the meaning of the words. Almaleki is the 48-year-old Glendale, Ariz., man who stands accused of using his Jeep Cherokee to run down his 20-year-old daughter, Noor, and another woman, Amal Edan Khalaf. Khalaf, said to be the mother of Noor’s boyfriend, is expected to survive the Oct. 20th attack in the parking lot of a state government building. Noor was less fortunate. She died last Monday. About her, we know only a few things: She had a page on Facebook and another on MySpace. She was interested in modeling. And at some point, she either

OPINION Leonard Pitts ■■■

went to Iraq and got married – or went there and rejected the suitor her family had arranged for her. Police are still trying to determine which of those stories, both in circulation, is true. Either way, she returned to the States, where she moved in with her boyfriend and

his mother. Something else we know: Almaleki felt his Facebook-using, husband-rejecting daughter had become too “Westernized.” His son, Peter-Ali, told a local TV news station that tensions ran high between father and daughter. Noor, he said, went “out of her way” to disrespect their conservative Muslim father. And where Almaleki comes from, it is standard practice that the daughter who disrespects or brings shame upon her family is subject to what they call an honor killing. Repeating for emphasis: Almaleki is alleged to have run

down two defenseless women as a matter of “honor.” While you absorb that, let me tell you a few things I believe: I believe that in most cases, I have no right to judge your culture by the standards of mine. I believe what seems exotic to me might be enlightened to you. I believe no culture has a monopoly on morality. But I also believe you don’t run down your daughter because she has a page on Facebook and won’t marry the guy you choose. That is not honor. It is, in fact, the opposite – an act of appalling cowardice suggestive not simply of religious extremism but of a people in fear of the sexuality and independence of women. It tells you something about a culture’s lack of faith in its own mores any time it feels compelled to use violence to enforce those mores upon its people. And it tells you something about Almaleki’s “honor” that he bolted like a scared rabbit after allegedly running the women down. It took over a week for authorities to capture him. The U.N. Population Fund estimates that more than 5,000

women a year die in “honor” killings for such “crimes” as speaking to unrelated men or being raped. Take it as brutal evidence of the way half the human race continues to oppress the other half. It is disgraceful that such a thing happens anywhere, but it is especially galling that it has happened here. Not just because this is home soil and such things are alien to most of us, but because it suggests, poignantly, that Faleh Hassan Almaleki did not truly understand the vastness of the hope that brings immigrants like him here. If America promised him freedom and opportunity to remake his life as he saw fit, he was apparently too short-sighted and concretized in old ways to see the obvious corollary.

Bomb kills anti-Taliban mayor, 11 others PESHAWAR, Pakistan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A suicide bomber blew himself up Sunday in a market in northwest Pakistan crowded with shoppers ahead of a Muslim holiday, killing 12 people, including a mayor who once supported but had turned against the Taliban, officials said. In the heavily guarded capital, police shot and killed another suicide bomber before he was able to detonate his explosives at a checkpoint, an officer said. The incidents underscore the difficulty of combatting militancy in Pakistan.

BOGOTA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; After drug lord Pablo Escobar was killed, the son who many thought would succeed him fled Colombia, assumed a new identity and lived a low-profile life as an architect in Argentina.

Lieberman: Senate to probe shooting at Fort Hood FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A key U.S. senator called Sunday for an investigation into whether the Army missed signs that the man accused of opening fire at Fort Hood had embraced an increasingly extremist view of Islamic ideology. Sen. Joe Liebermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call came as word surfaced that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan apparently attended the same Virginia mosque as two Sept. 11 hijackers in 2001, at a time when a radi-

cal imam preached there. Whether Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, associated with the hijackers is something the FBI will probably look into, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity. Authorities continue to refer to Hasan, 39, as the only suspect in the shootings that killed 13 and wounded 29, but they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say when charges would be filed.

Grant to fund surveillance camera network in county BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Sheriff BJ Barnes will use federal stimulus funds to buy equipment for a “real time” surveillance network. Public safety agencies from New Orleans to Baltimore have used wireless cameras for years to see live video from crime-troubled neighborhoods. Police also can tap video networks in schools and public housing. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners approved a $105,884 federal grant last week. “This would be very helpful for hostage situations, for example, to help us see what is going on inside a building,” said Maj. Tom Sheppard of the sheriff’s department. “We are talking about a computer server link to video cameras.” So far, the county school district has declined to participate in a network, Sheppard said.

“We would link mostly cameras already in place,” Sheppard said. “It is possible some private schools could participate.” Some video networks have become quite extensive. Los Angeles installed anti-crime video cameras in three neighborhoods to thwart street sales of bootleg DVDs, USA Today reported in 2005. The grant comes from the federal Justice Assistance Grant Program, known as Byrne-JAG, which is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. JAG funds total $31 million nationwide. The grant is one of several the sheriff’s department has received in recent months. The agency received $435,688 in Recovery Justice Assistance Program funds from the Department of Justice to pay for 9 patrol vehicles, 19 bulletproof vests, 18 pistols and 18 shotguns. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

new wing,” Hunt said, adding that his high school’s main offices will be turned into classrooms for the middle school. “We will no longer have any teachers be what we call rovers because they don’t have a classroom of their

own. We will no longer have to use any of the trailers outside. It’s going to be a big help for us.” The original completion date for the project was July 15, but rain in the spring caused the project to be pushed back, Hunt said. “It’s been a little frustrating, but it’s also really exciting,” he said. “Our teachers are excited to get in. Our kids are excited to get in.” According to Hunt, all of the new classrooms will be equipped with latest technologies, including SMART Boards and document counters. Diane Hill, the school’s treasurer who works out of the main office, also is excited about the school’s addition. When the wing is completely finished, South Davidson High’s main offices will move to the addition. “It’s a big asset to us,” Hill said. “We have been all jammed in (the main office). We have a lot of space that we didn’t have. We are pleased with it. We just want to get into it.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Capital campaign surpasses goal ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

THOMASVILLE – The Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce has met its goal to implement a communitysupported strategic plan. Earlier this year, the chamber set a goal to raise $900,000 over the next five years. The chamber officially introduced its five-year program and campaign during a public kick-off event this past July. At that time, Dr. David Williams, the campaign’s chair, announced the campaign already had raised $615,000. According to a press release, the chamber has raised about $1 million, which is 14 percent more than the goal. “The next five years will be a critical period for the future of Thomasville,” Williams said. “We have the unique occasion to decide the direction of our community – to seize the opportunities that lie before us; to help

grow our economy while promoting Thomasville in a new light. This five-year plan will strengthen the chamber’s position in Thomasville, both in a physical location as well as our program of work. This is not business as usual. With the recent unstable economy, it was important to take action now.” The Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce is a business association that initiates and leads efforts to promote orderly growth and development of the community’s economic structure and quality of life. To that end, through 2008 and early 2009, chamber leaders developed and proposed a strategic plan to guide its work over the next five years. The plan includes the renovation and relocation of the chamber’s office to 941 Randolph St. in Thomasville 2010.

But Rand protected fellow Democrats from issues they’d rather not discuss – like abortion and taxes – by blocking votes on Republican amendments that might prove difficult to explain to voters come election time. He gave hundreds of thousands of dollars for colleagues’ campaigns and kept the Senate Democratic Caucus on a policy track that’s protected its majority in the chamber going on 110 years.

Rand was also a chief negotiator in each year’s budget negotiations and was Basnight’s “enforcer” – solving problems between senators and interest groups with opposing views and persuade wayward party members to stay in line. “He was a gatekeeper for an awful lot of things,” said Steve Metcalf of Asheville, a lobbyist and Democratic senator earlier this decade. “He protected the caucus.” So Rand’s departure, expected to become official by the end of the year, will require the other 28 Senate Democrats left behind to step up both in and out of the chamber. One candidate already appears to be the front runner for the majority leader’s post. Basnight endorsed Sen. Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe, in a letter late Friday.

David Hoyle, D-Gaston. “He knew how the agencies worked ... he really, really knew what was going on everywhere.” Rand’s departure will shake up the leadership structure within the Senate, possibly divvying up his responsibilities among two or three Democrats.

The body of a 60-yearold man was found floating in Salem Lake Saturday, and WinstonSalem police do not suspect foul play. Police believe the man was biking on the trails around the lake, lost control and crashed into the water. A jogger saw the man’s body about 8:30 a.m. Saturday, said Lt. Billy Riggs. The jogger called 911, then dove into the lake and pulled the man’s body out, Riggs said. Police have identified the man but Riggs said police officials are waiting to notify his family before they make his name public. Riggs said the man lived in Kernersville. Police do not know how long the man’s body was in the lake, Riggs said, but think it was not more than a few hours.

Mike Ingram, director of technology for Thomasville City Schools, will introduce a new way for parents be able to receive work electronically and collaborate internally with other teachers. Students will be able to send and receive assignments electronically, participate in blogs and discussion boards and have access to all of their student information. According to Ingram, CSI Technology Outfit-

ters absorbed $105,000 of the cost to provide the service. Thanks to a donation from the Tom A. Finch Foundation, Thomasville City Schools Education Foundation also contributed funds for the portal. Ingram said the portal should be fully functional by April 2010. Parents, students and teachers

will be able to access it by clicking on a link on the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Web site. Parents will have to receive passwords in person from their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school to log onto the portal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This project is going to be rolled out incrementally during the course of this year,â&#x20AC;? Ingram said.

ADVICE Dear Abby â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

Dear Abby: My old college roommate â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ginaâ&#x20AC;? and I live several states apart, but we have remained close over the years. Whenever I call her, her husband picks up an extension and listens in. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s listening until he says something. Other times, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stand next to her and constantly interrupt her while weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking. He has his own friends and hobbies, and Gina does not know why he keeps butting in. I have spoken to him when she is unavailable to make him feel involved, but this threeway conversation is bugging me. Since Gina appears to be unable to tell him to cut it out, what should I do? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Miffed in Madison Dear Miffed: I see no reason why you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell Gina â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether her husband is listening or not â&#x20AC;&#x201C; how intrusive you feel her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eavesdropping is and that you would like your conversations to be private. After that, it will be up to her to decide where to draw the line.

Dear Abby: I am fortunate. I come from a close and loving family. Even though we have come through some difficult times recently, it has drawn us closer, strengthened our love and fueled our resolve to support each other no matter what. So why am I writing? I am so full of love and emotion that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not unusual for me to cry frequently. When we say goodbye after a visit, I cry more than anyone else. My daughter says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real downer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and others feel awkward. So how does one turn off the flow of tears? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Teary-Eyed in Alabama Dear Teary-Eyed: As long as a person understands the reason why she (or he) is crying â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t because of displaced emotions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; tears are nothing to be embarrassed about, and I see no reason to stifle them. However, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing to shed a few tears and another to come completely unglued. Because your display of emotion makes â&#x20AC;&#x153;others feel awkward,â&#x20AC;? and if this is new behavior, it may be time to consult your physician to determine whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s triggering the waterworks.

ear Abby: I need an unbiased opinion. I am the father of a 12-year-old daughter, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lia.â&#x20AC;? She catches an early morning bus for school, and I leave for work at the same time her bus picks her up, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in charge of getting her ready in the morning. Although we have two bathrooms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one upstairs and one down â&#x20AC;&#x201C; neither of us wants to use the downstairs bathroom to get ready. All our stuff is upstairs. When I wake Lia up each morning, she heads into the shower and I go feed the dog. I then go into the bathroom and shave while sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the shower. While Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m shaving we discuss sports and life in general. When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m finished, I leave until sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done showering and goes back into her room. I then take my shower. Is this wrong? Liaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inappropriate for me to be in the bathroom at all while sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking a shower.

THOMASVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thomasville City Schools is set to become the first school in North Carolina to use a portal that will allow parents to check their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grades and view assignments from their personal computers. At the Thomasville Board of Education meeting on Tuesday, Mike Ingram, Thomasville City Schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; director of technology, will introduce the school systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest piece of technology. In addition to grades and assignments, the portal, the product of South Carolina-based CSI Technology Outfitters, will allow parents and students to view attendance numbers and have instant messaging capabilities with teachers. According to Ingram, Thomasville City Schools hopes to increase parental involvement while easing instruction by using the portal. By using the new technology, the school system also hopes to save money by cutting down on paper costs. By using the portal, teachers will be able to check and distribute assignments to all students with a one-click process, Ingram said. The technology director said teachers also will

Fire risk increases during holidays

t seems that the past year has passed almost in the blink of the eye. I find it hard to believe that Thanksgiving is almost here, again. Families will once again gather to visit and prepare large feasts so everyone can eat until they are miserable. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been the American way. The down side is that kitchen fires, which are already very common, almost triple on Thanksgiving Day, according to the National Fire Protection Association. With food such an important part of the Thanksgiving holiday, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprising that cooking is the leading cause of residential fires. In fact, cooking is responsible for more fires than the next four most common causes combined. Leaving food unattended on the stove is the leading factor in the ignition of these fires. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want these depressing facts to put a damper on your holiday, but I do want them to encourage you to focus more on safety and fire prevention so no one in your family becomes just another statistic in some technical fire report. By following some simple suggestions, you can significantly reduce the chance of a fire. If you are frying, grilling or broiling food, stay in the kitchen. If you must leave the kitchen, shut off the stove. When baking, boiling or roasting food, always

be in the home and check the food often. Use a timer to remind you, and FIREHOUSE never leave food CHAT cooking when no Lee one is at Knight home. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; If it can burn, keep it away from the stove. This includes items such as pot holders, towels, paper products and plastic. If you use a turkey fryer, make sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s away from combustibles, and never use it inside the home or any other enclosed area. Make sure all smoke detectors in the home are operational. After guests leave or before going to bed, walk through and check the home to ensure there are no fire hazards such as smoking materials not extinguished and candles left burning. Check under cushions on furniture for smoldering cigarettes. Hopefully each of you has a happy and uneventful holiday, and for those firefighters who have to work Thanksgiving Day, I wish the same.

When is it OK to stop osteoporosis drug?

ear Dr. Donohue: I am very worried about being taken off Fosamax. I have osteoporosis and have taken Fosamax for 11 years. My doctor said I don’t need to take it any longer because my system has enough of it. I thought I had to be on this all my life. I am 79. Would you give me your opinion on this? – J.G.

BLONDIE

Three hundred thousand hips, 700,000 backbones (vertebrae) and 250,000 wrists are broken yearly in the United States, and osteoporosis is the major cause of these breaks, especially in older people. Osteoporosis, therefore, is a major health problem and a major cause of disability and medical expense. Bisphosphonates are the class of drugs most often chosen to slow down osteoporosis. Fosamax (alendronate) is an oftenprescribed bisphosphonate. It stops the daily breakdown of bone, and thereby strengthens bone. This action prevents bones from becoming fragile and easily broken. How long is it necessary to take these drugs? That’s a question without a current answer. One approach to treatment is to suggest to patients that they take a drug holiday after five to seven years of use. This suggestion is made to patients who have a “low fracture risk.” The doctor can determine a person’s risk for fracture by using an Internet program called FRAX (www.shef.ac.uk/

FRAX), devised by the World Health Organization. If a woman (or man) is at high HEALTH risk for a fracture, Dr. Paul the FRAX Donohue program ■■■ places her or his risk for a broken bone at more than 3 percent within 10 years. Those patients should stay on treatment for 10 years. Fosamax and other bisphosphonates stay in bone for years and years, so you are still getting medicine after you have stopped taking it. When medicine is stopped, doctors follow their patients with scheduled bone mineral density tests to see if their bones are developing osteoporosis. If they are, the medicine can be resumed or a different one prescribed. A reason for concern is that bisphosphonates have side effects. One of them is osteonecrosis of the jaw. Osteonecrosis is death of a section of the jawbone, a consequence that’s hard to treat and difficult to have. It happens only to a few, and then mostly to those who take these drugs at high doses for cancer that has spread to the bone. Don’t forget that people over 50 need vitamin D (up to 1,000 IU a day) and calcium (up to 1,200 mg a day) for osteoporosis prevention. Daily exercise is also essential. Walking is appropriate.

Dear Dr. Donohue: What is the best treatment for Morton’s neuroma? Surgery or cortisone injection? – V.L. People with a Morton’s neuroma feel like they’re stepping on a stone each time the affected foot hits the ground. Or the neuroma causes burning or shooting pain with each step. The neuroma is a foot nerve trapped in dense scar tissue. The involved nerve is at the front of the foot, on the sole, just behind the toes. Most often, the area of the foot that corresponds to the space between the third and fourth toes is the site for a Morton’s neuroma. As a first treatment, try padding. Metatarsal pads can be found in almost all drugstores. If they fail, specially constructed shoe inserts, orthotics, should be used; then a cortisone injection. The final step is surgical freeing of the entrapped nerve. Dear Dr. Donohue: How long after a blood donation should a person wait before giving a second donation? A friend of mine gave blood, and two months later donated more blood. It seemed like it took forever. It turns out her blood pressure was low, and the blood people decided to let her rest for a while. – D.S. It’s acceptable to donate blood again two months after the first donation. The drop in her pressure didn’t last long and won’t have any health consequences.

Perhaps the thrill of Gladys Horney’s 110th birthday was a five-minute spin in a black Corvette.

Running strong At 110, Gladys Horney may be North Carolina’s oldest citizen BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ladys Horney added her name to a most unique list over the weekend. The longtime High Point woman, who now lives in Colfax at the River Landing at Sandy Ridge retirement community, became a supercentenarian – the name given to those rare individuals who reach their 110th birthday. She’s now believed to be either the oldest or secondoldest person living in North Carolina. Horney turned 110 on Saturday, but a big, NASCAR-themed birthday bash was held Friday at Sandy Ridge, with dozens of family members and friends on

‘And boy, when Jeff Gordon is on there, she doesn’t want anybody around. She wants to see every move he makes.’ Mary Ellen Koonts Niece of Gladys Horney hand to help the self-avowed racing fan celebrate the milestone birthday. In addition to a NASCAR cake and a banner that proclaimed Horney the “Queen of NASCAR” – and made reference to her running her 110th lap – Horney modeled her new Jeff Gordon cap, a tribute to her favorite driver. “When the race is coming on, she’ll always say, ‘Now don’t forget to turn my TV on,’ because she doesn’t want to miss it,” said Horney’s niece, Mary Ellen Koonts of High Point. “And boy, when Jeff Gordon is on there, she doesn’t want anybody around. She wants to

see every move he makes.” Horney had an unexpected treat awaiting her Friday: She got to go for a five-minute spin around the neighborhood in a shiny black Corvette, courtesy of Parks Chevrolet. “This was a request I couldn’t turn down,” said James Berry of Parks Chevrolet, who served as Horney’s chauffeur. “It made my day.” According to Berry, his supercentenarian passenger grinned from ear to ear as they rode. “She loved it,” he said. “We cranked the radio up and played some tunes, and she really enjoyed it.” Gladys Sprouse Horney was born on Nov. 7, 1899, in Lincolnton, Ga., the oldest of five children (the others are all deceased). Family members say she and a few of her girlfriends came to High Point during the summer of 1921, hoping to find a summer job. She landed a job at the Postal Telegraph Co., fell in love with High Point and ended up staying. Then she fell in love again – this time with a young man named Gene Horney – and they married on May 24, 1926. According to family members, they had planned a June wedding until they learned the Paramount Theatre was putting on a play called “Here Comes the Bride,” and a bride and groom were needed for the May production. The young couple auditioned and won the parts, so first they pretended to be a bride and groom for the production, and then later in the month, they actually got married on the same stage. Gene went on to become High Point’s assistant fire chief, and his bride became a stenographer at the old Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. They had no children, but were married for more than 60 years, until his death in 1989. Horney lived independently

Gladys Horney’s NASCAR-themed birthday party included a Jeff Gordon cap and a cake decorated in his colors. until the mid-1990s, when she moved to the Presbyterian Home; she recently moved again to River Landing, where she’s been doing just fine. “Her health seems to be very good,” Koonts said. “She’s still alert most of the time and doing well.” The Gerontology Research Group, which tracks the number of living supercentenarians – and which “Guinness World Records” cites as its authority for the “World’s Oldest Living People” category – lists only 76

people worldwide (72 women and four men) who were at least 110 years old as of Nov. 3. Horney becomes the 77th. The list names only one other North Carolina resident – J. Reeta Jones, age 111 – which would make Horney the secondoldest person in the state. However, an online search indicates Jones may actually live in Tennessee now, which would make Horney North Carolina’s oldest resident. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Quality Oil Co. is collecting $1 donations at each of its Quality Mart, Quality Plus and Shell Station stores throughout North Carolina during November to raise money for the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. The effort is part of Quality Oil’s 80th anniversary celebration. Each $1 donation comes with a pinup of the Childress Institute logo for the donor to write his or her name on. The paper logo will then be hung in windows of the Quality Oil stores. In addition to Quality Oil’s convenience store locations, donations will also be accepted at the Hampton Inns in Winston-Salem and Cary, as well as the Sleep Inn in Winston-Salem, and Quality Oil’s home office at 1540 Silas Creek Parkway. All proceeds will be donated to the Childress Institute. The Childress Institute was organized in July 2008 at Wake Forest Baptist by Richard Childress and his family. Its mission is to prevent and treat life-threatening injuries to children, and to help kids affected by life-threatening injuries recover and lead normal lives. Approximately 12,000 children under the age of 18 die each year from traumatic injury, making it the No. 1 killer of children in the United States. A list of Quality Oil Co. locations is available at www. QOCNC.com. To learn more about the Childress Institute, visit www. ChildressPediatric Trauma.org.

The American Contract Bridge League’s Summer Championships is the biggest of its three annual major tournaments. Thousands of players came to Washington, D.C., to compete for national and lesser titles. Attendance for the 10 days was 14,000 tables. Test your skill at dummy play in today’s deal. As South, you land at 3NT, a game with a chance. North would surely fail at four spades. West leads the nine of clubs, and you take dummy’s ace. What is your next move?

DAILY QUESTION NO OTHER CHANCE At one table in a match in the Senior Teams, declarer led dummy’s queen of hearts. East, Richard Oshlag, defended correctly. He ducked, won the next heart, cashed his king of clubs and ace of diamonds, and, seeing no other chance to beat the contract, led another diamond. At the other table, Sid Brownstein led a diamond from dummy at Trick Two. East played low (who would not?), and 3NT was suddenly unbeatable. West won, but the diamonds were blocked; the defense had five winners but couldn’t take them.

You hold: S A 7 5 H K J 8 D 9 8 6 C Q J 7 2. Your partner opens one diamond, you respond two clubs, he rebids two diamonds and you try 2NT. Partner next bids three clubs. What do you say? ANSWER: Partner suggests a minimum hand with long diamonds, club support and no liking for either game or notrump. You must not bid 3NT, but if you pass, you may play at an uncomfortable 4-3 fit. Bid three diamonds. Partner may hold a hand such as 2, Q 7 6, A Q 5 4 3 2, A 8 6. North dealer N-S vulnerable

HOROSCOPE

CROSSWORD

Monday, Nov. 9, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Sisqo, 31; Nick Lachey, 36; Chris Jericho, 39; Susan Tedeschi, 39 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You need a change more than you realize and you should be considering everything from a major move, acquiring more skills or taking up a hobby that has the potential of another income. Don’t end up having regrets because you didn’t follow your heart. Act on the opportunities that come your way. Take the initiative if you want to get ahead. Your numbers are 1, 7, 15, 23, 31, 35, 44 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your ambitious attitude will help you share your ideas with those as intent to get ahead as you. Together, you may be able to form a unique and successful group. Financial gains can be made if you are smart with money. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keep your thoughts to yourself and you’ll avoid upsetting loved ones. You will discover that the people you are closest to may not have the same intentions or direction you are taking. You may have to make a difficult but necessary decision. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll be inclined to exaggerate, making it essential that you leave yourself enough time to follow through with promises made. In doing so, you will be a big hit with your friends, neighbors and relatives. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t overspend because you are feeling low. Being generous will not buy love, respect or loyalty. Consider what’s bringing you down and eliminate your problem. You will be glad you made the necessary changes. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be sensitive and understanding and you can avoid upset, anger and an argument. If you force others to do things your way, you’ll be accused of meddling and blamed for not being fair. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep your mind on what’s important. Take care of your responsibilities and don’t get involved in what others are doing. You will have enough to deal with without taking on someone else’s battles. False information will lead to someone’s taking advantage of you. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Attend an event that will encourage you to meet new friends and make connections to help you achieve your goals. Volunteer your services. This is not the time to spend money but offering your time will make a difference. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Jealousy will lead to disaster. If things aren’t going according to plan or you feel someone is not paying enough attention to you, consider why. Your professional and mature attitude will help you get through troubled times. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will do better with matters concerning outsiders or peers than those of your loved ones. Avoid any personal concerns. Time and distance have a way of dealing with such issues. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Focus on your own investments or bank balance for now. If you are diligent about where your money goes, you can save enough to invest in yourself and your own endeavors. Be creative and network. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some relationships are best left alone. When trust is lacking, there is nothing you can do but move on. Change may be inevitable but once it is made you will feel better about your future. Get out with friends who are supportive. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will have an opportunity that you must not pass by. Talk to people who are interested in what you do and share what you have to offer. Don’t let your restlessness cause you to go in the wrong direction. ★★★

What a kick for HPU

Panther women win Big South Tournament championship SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

CHARLESTON, S.C. - Senior Marisa Abbott saved two penalty kicks to help the seventh-seeded High Point University women’s soccer team win its third Big South Women’s Soccer Championship, defeating eighth-seeded Winthrop 4-2 on PKs after finishing the double-overtime match in a 0-0 tie. With the win, the Panthers (7-14-2) receive an automatic berth to the 2009 NCAA Women’s Soccer Championship. Winthrop finishes 5-10-6. “It is very exciting for the program and obviously it is very exciting for our staff, this being our first year here,” said Beall. “We are very honored to represent the Big South at the NCAA tournament. I have to give credit to the team; they worked very hard all season. They went through a very difficult nonconference schedule and I

honestly believe that nonconference schedule prepared us for conference play. We have only given up two goals in the past seven games because of the toughness and the resilience of this team.” With the game tied after two overtimes, the championship final went to penalty kicks. The teams were tied with after two rounds as Katherine Leach and Courtney Durbin were successful for Winthrop and senior Laura Eldridge and freshman Kim Grennan scored for HPU. In the third round, Abbott made a diving save to her right side on the Eagles’ Stevie Lucas and junior Sara Rager scored with a shot to the lower right corner to give HPU a one-shot lead. Abbott made her second consecutive save with a dive to her right in the fourth round, giving sophomore Laura Shupe a chance to clinch the win.

PHOTO COURTESY OF HIGH POINT UNIVERSITY

The High Point University women’s soccer team poses with the trophy after securing the Big South Women’s Tournament title with a 4-2 penalty-kicks victory over Winthrop in Sunday’s final in Charleston, S.C. Shupe calmly approached the ball and beat the Winthrop goalie with a shot to the upper right-hand corner for the winning tally. The game was a backand-forth affair with neither team able to establish a clear advantage. HPU outshot the Eagles, 18-15, in the game with a 6-2 advantage during extra time. Abbott made four stops to earn her third shutout of the tournament and her eighth of the season. The Troy, N.Y., native was named Tournament MVP after finishing the tourna-

ment without allowing a single goal. “Marisa all year has been absolutely fantastic for us,” said Beall. “She provides us great leadership back there. She is a highly competitive young woman and she has lad us all year. She is a well-deserved tournament MVP. Joining Abbott on the all-tournament team were HPU sophomore defenders Brielle Spencer and Danniel Rosado and junior midfielder Jillie Johnston. This is High Point’s third

Big South Championship since joining the conference in 1999. HPU won the championship in 2004 and 2007 and all three championships have come on PKs. The Panthers find out who they will play in the first round of the NCAAs tonight when the full field of 64 teams is announced. The 2009 Women’s Soccer Selection Show will air at 7 p.m., on ESPN News. In High Point’s last trip to the NCAA Tournament, the Panthers lost 6-1 against North Carolina.

Busch posts victory at topsy-turvy Texas

Nowhere to go New Orleans Saints defenders bury Carolina Panthers running back Tyrell Sutton (22) under an avalanche of tacklers in the second half of Sunday’s game at the Superdome. The Saints rallied for a 30-20 victory to improve to 8-0 on the season, while the Panthers fell to 3-5. See NFL roundup on 4D.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – Jimmie Johnson’s drive to history took a hard hit against a wall and Kyle Busch ran out of gas trying to complete an unprecedented NASCAR trifecta. Kurt Busch drove to victory at Texas after his younger brother ran out of fuel with 21⁄2 laps left Sunday, finishing 129 laps ahead of the rebuilt car driven by Johnson, who saw his points lead slashed from 184 to 73 over Hendrick teammate Mark Martin with two races left. “It was definitely not the day we wanted,” Johnson said. “It’s not as bad as it could have been. At one point I was told to hop out of the car and I was done. ... It’s still a big ouch.” Johnson, the series points leader trying to become the first Cup driver to win four consecutive season championships, wrecked on the third lap when he was knocked into the wall by Sam Hornish. Johnson finished 38th after his crew needed more than an hour to repair and basically rebuild his No. 48 Chevrolet. Coming out of Turn 2 on

Inside...

----

Early wreck derails Johnson’s hopes for quick Cup title clinch. 4D the third lap, Hornish got loose after being tapped by David Reutimann. Hornish made contact with Johnson, who scraped the outside wall. It looked as if Johnson might save his car before he was hit again by Hornish, then slammed into the inside wall. Kurt Busch got his second victory of the season. Busch’s 20th career victory came with an average speed of 147.137 mph and by a nearly 26-second margin over second-place Denny Hamlin. Matt Kenseth was third. Kyle Busch, who had won the Nationwide and Camping World Truck races at Texas, was trying to become the first driver to win in all three of NASCAR’s national series on the same weekend. He led 232 laps but wound up 11th. Jeff Gordon finished 13th. He cut his points deficit to Johnson from 192 to 112 points.

HIT AND RUN

---

or the first 40 years of the Atlantic Coast Conference, Clemson’s Tigers boasted the loudest football roar. The Tigers captured 12 outright ACC titles between 1956 and 1991 and shared the ‘65 crown with N.C. State. Clemson’s 13 ACC championships are still the most in league football history, but that last trophy in 1991 is really starting to show some age. The Tigers could end that un-Clemson-like 18-year title drought this season. Their 40-24 victory over Florida State late Saturday night put the Tigers in firm control of the ACC’s Atlantic Division race. Clemson stands 6-3 overall and 4-2 in league action. The Tigers can clinch their

first-ever berth in the ACC championship game with victories over N.C. State and Virginia the next two weeks. The Tigers also could lose one of those games and come out on top in the Atlantic, depending on other results. I wouldn’t bet against these Tigers. Tailback C.J. Spiller set a school record with 312 all-purpose yards against the Seminoles, bettering the mark of 310 he established in a 40-37 overtime win against Miami in late October. Spiller rushed for a career-high 165 yards against FSU and posted his 20th career touchdown of at least 50 yards. He is dangerous as a runner, receiver and return man. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, in his first

full season at the helm, has a chance to join some legendary company in Death Valley. Frank Howard captured six ACC titles as Clemson coach, while Danny Ford won five. Ken Hatfield (1991) and Charley Pell (1978) guided the Tigers to their other ACC crowns. There’s still plenty of football to play. If Clemson secures the Atlantic crown, a likely date with powerful Coastal Division leader Georgia Tech looms in Tampa on Dec. 5. Still, this season’s Orange Bowl may feature ACC champion Clemson Orange. That would seem like old times for Tiger faithful everywhere.

Hurricanes’ Ward to spend extra night in hospital RALEIGH (AP) – Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward remained in an Ohio hospital after his leg was cut by a skate, and general manager Jim Rutherford says he could miss up to four weeks. Ward was expected to remain in Columbus, Ohio, through Sunday and return to Raleigh on Monday for further evaluation by the team’s head orthopedic doctor. Ward didn’t fly home after the Hurricanes’ 3-2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night because of concerns about the stress of the flight on his injury. He stretched to make a save while Blue Jackets forward Rick Nash skated through the crease in the first period, and it appeared Nash or a defenseman nicked Ward in the leg with a skate.

UNC connection a hit for DCCC

Kan. Sunday at 1 p.m., the Davidson County Community College head coach takes his menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team into Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new living room, otherwise known as the Smith Center, for a game against the North Carolina junior varsity. And remarkably, the Tar Heelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; JV will play in Ridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brinkley Gymnasium â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on Jan. 27 in a rare road game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel very, very lucky to get them to play us twice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their only away game this year,â&#x20AC;? Ridge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use it as a recruiting tool, and I hope we can continue to host games at Brinkley Gymnasium against them, make this a tradition. We hope to continue this great relationship.â&#x20AC;? The relationship dates to 1992, when a hot-shot point guard from Ledford High School arrived in Chapel Hill with a burning desire to continue his playing career. Ridge tried out for the Tar Heelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; junior varsity team and made the roster at shooting guard his first two seasons, playing first for Randy Wiel and then Dave Hanners. That Ridge and his teammates got to wear Tar Heel jerseys and play in the Smith Center at all was remarkable. JV teams, after all, came about during the dinosaur days when freshmen werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t permitted to play varsity sports

due to NCAA rules. But legendary UNC coach Dean Smith liked the JV experience and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about to do away with the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach Smith always said he felt like everySPORTS body who comes to the university should have a Steve chance to try out for the Hanf basketball team,â&#x20AC;? Wilâ&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; liams explained recently at the Operation ACC Basketball media day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So if you tried out, you did a good job, you were offered a chance to try out for the varsity. I played on a freshman team when freshmen werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to play on the varsity, and I had a great experience. I coached it for eight years and loved it, then our son came along and was involved in it and I loved it for that.â&#x20AC;? The paths of Scott Williams and Matt Ridge crossed at that time. After two years playing for the JV, Ridge got his tryout with the varsity and a meeting with Smith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a walk-on he knew he was cutting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to spend 30 minutes talking to me,â&#x20AC;? Ridge recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Coach Smith took the time to talk with me about my life. My dream was to become a coach and he took the time to help me reach my goals. That sent a message to me.â&#x20AC;? Smith allowed Ridge to help coach the

JV team with Hanners and then Phil Ford. In the 1995-96 season, Roy Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; son arrived in Chapel Hill â&#x20AC;&#x201C; leaving behind his dad, who would coach the Kansas Jayhawks until coming to North Carolina in 2002 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and played on the junior varsity squad. A few years later, when Ridge and his best friend were driving aimlessly on a cross-country trip, they happened to stop in Lawrence to look around, discovered that the Jayhawks were holding a basketball camp and stopped by to say hello. Scott Williams invited Ridge and friend David Neal to spend the night at the family home. The elder Williams mostly busied himself chatting with recruits, but Ridge still laughed about â&#x20AC;&#x153;hanging out in the living roomâ&#x20AC;? with Roy. The rest, as they say, is history. Ridge coached the East Davidson boys for years, spent a season as an assistant at Guilford College and then was tabbed to lead Davidson Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team as it ended a long hiatus. The first two years of the Stormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existence, DCCC landed on the Tar Heelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; schedule. The initial visit to the Smith Center saw Ridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team lead at halftime before suffering a close loss. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contest proved to be no contest as UNC romped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That left a bad taste in my mouth, and hopefully I can do a better job getting my guys ready to play,â&#x20AC;? Ridge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of players are just overwhelmed

back of the Tar Heels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like this team,â&#x20AC;? said the normally guarded Hamilton, who wants to take advantage of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size and experience and turn it loose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to try and speed up our tempo on offense,â&#x20AC;? he said. Returning starters include 7-foot-1 redshirt sophomore center Solomon Alabi, 6-9 sophomore forward Chris Singleton and 23-year-old junior guard Derwin Kitchen, who will share point duties with 6-4 sophomore Luke Loucks. The two combined for 11 points and 4 assists a game. The 6-1 Douglas, now with the New York Knicks, led the ACC in scoring last year and was the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive player of the year. He and 6-7 forward Uche Echefu were the only starters who graduated. Douglas set a single-season scoring record at Florida State with 751 points, but Hamilton thinks his defense will be more difficult to replace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Offensively I think, our kids have improved and we have enough guys who can absorb his offense,â&#x20AC;? Hamilton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to be a contain defense.â&#x20AC;? No other Seminoles player averaged in double figures last season, but Douglas got help on the scoring front from a vari-

Thomas, FIU face long odds in opener at No. 6 UNC MIAMI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Isiah Thomas was midway through a question-andanswer session with some FIU alumni last month when someone stood up and put the Hall of Fame player on the spot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, how will you prepare for an opener against North Carolina?â&#x20AC;? FIUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new coach, to his credit, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate before giving the guy his answer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, Cinderella doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to come in March. She can come in November,â&#x20AC;? Thomas said. Everybody laughed.

Thomas laughed. The event continued. The reality is, there are long shots, and then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whatever FIU will be tonight when the Golden Panthers open the Thomas era in the 2K Sports Classic at No. 6 North Carolina, the defending national champion and a popular pick to win it all again this season. Consider this stat: The Tar Heels won 34 games last season alone, while FIU has won 34 games in the last three seasons combined.

Colquitt prevails in Fall Classic at Blair Park

Tall frontline set to lead Seminoles TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Florida State was the last team to defeat national champion North Carolina. Coach Leonard Hamilton believes the Seminoles will have even more to hang their hats on this season. Coming off his best campaign at Florida State, Hamilton thinks a tall, talented sophomore frontline with a full yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience will offset the loss of star Toney Douglas from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s club that finished 25-10 and ended a 10-year absence from the NCAA Tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are capable of playing anybody in our league,â&#x20AC;? said Hamilton, now bolstered by a new $1.5 million, 5-year contract as he starts his eighth year at Florida State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our strength will be our numbers.â&#x20AC;? The Seminoles return eight of the top 10 players from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This team has some parts to it that people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognize,â&#x20AC;? said Hamilton, who chuckles at the Seminoles being picked to finish seventh in the Atlantic Coast Conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a mystery to a lot of people.â&#x20AC;? Hamilton is used to the lack of respect for his program. Florida State was picked to finish 10th a year ago, but finished fourth, a game behind Duke and Wake Forest and three

to be playing in the Smith Center for the first time in their life. The JV players practice and play there every day, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not shell-shocked.â&#x20AC;? If Williams has his way, there will always be a team at UNC for the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smaller schools to play. The Big XII Conference outlawed JV programs during Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stay in Kansas, and the Tar Heels are the lone team in the ACC still fielding one. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad, coached by Jerod Haase, will play 16 games against small four-year colleges, five community colleges â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including Guilford Tech on Dec. 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a few prep schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the head coach and people will allow it, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have it because I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tremendous experience for me, tremendously important to my development as a coach. I loved the fact that those 16, 17, 18 guys were going to be tremendous North Carolina fans forever.â&#x20AC;? Ridge certainly can be counted among that group. He just wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be rooting for the Tar Heels this Sunday or on Wednesday, Jan. 27. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel very, very lucky to be involved in any capacity with Carolina basketball,â&#x20AC;? Ridge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When people talk about Carolina basketball as a family, it truly is. They really make you not just a better basketball player, but a better person.â&#x20AC;?

Panthers can’t slow Saints march NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Drew Brees and the Saints’ prolific offense never had to play from behind in their first five games. Mastering the comeback in their last three has gotten New Orleans off to its best start in the franchise’s 43-year history. New Orleans moved to 8-0 on Sunday when Brees overcame two early turnovers to pass for 330 yards and a touchdown in a 30-20 victory over the Carolina Panthers. “That’s great. I mean, 1967 until now and we’re the only (Saints) team to have done that,” Brees said. “That’s really special. I feel like we’ve got a special group of guys, a special team, and certainly we’re not satisfied with just being 8-0. We have what it takes to just continue to win.” Starting with a favorable schedule during the next two weeks. The Saints play at St. Louis and Tampa Bay, who are a combined 2-14 this

season, meaning New Orleans has a realistic chance to be 10-0 when New England – the only team to finish a regular season 16-0 – comes to the Louisiana Superdome the Monday night after Thanksgiving. Before this season, the only 7-0 team New Orleans ever had was in 1991, a squad coached by Jim Mora and known for its defense. The defense on the 2009 Saints gives up its share of yards, but has continued to make big plays at the right time. While the Saints did not intercept a pass for the first time all season, their defense forced three turnovers on fumbles. The last produced New Orleans’ seventh defensive touchdown of the season on Anthony Hargrove’s strip, recovery and 1-yard return late in the fourth quarter. Hargrove might have been down before advancing the ball, but the

play started before the two-minute warning and Carolina had no timeouts, preventing a challenge. DeAngelo Williams rushed for 149 yards and two TDs, and Carolina gained 182 yards on the ground. But it was Williams’ fumble at his 1 that led to the clinching TD. It was Carolina’s (3-5) first lost in Louisiana since 2001 and quarterback Jake Delhomme’s first loss in the Louisiana Superdome. The Panthers blew a 17-3 lead as the Saints improved to 5-0 at home this season. The Saints have never been to a Super Bowl and have only been to the playoffs six times. The way they’re closing out games now, there’s no telling how far they could go. New Orleans is outscoring opponents 91-18 in the fourth quarter. Carolina led 14-0 on Williams’ TD runs of 66 and 7 yards, both of which came before the Saints made a first down.

Early wreck slows Johnson’s Cup title drive FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – It took just three laps for Jimmie Johnson’s quest for an early clinching of an unprecedented fourth straight NASCAR Cup championship to hit a wall. Literally. Johnson wrecked coming out of Turn 2 on the third lap when Sam Hornish Jr. collected him. Johnson was behind the wall until lap 115, then returned to finish 38th. His lead was trimmed from 184 points to 73 over Hendrick teammate Mark Martin, who took fourth Sunday. There are two races left on the schedule. Jeff Gordon, another Hendrick driver who is third in points, finished 13th after avoiding serious problems of his own. He cut his points deficit to Johnson from 192 to 112 points, though lost ground on Martin. “A total missed opportunity that completely got away from us,” said Gordon, who in April won at Texas for the first time. Johnson can clinch at Phoenix if he boosts his lead to 195 points. Or he can win the title by averaging a fourthplace finish the last two races, or fifth if he leads at least one lap in both races.

Oklahoma out, Stanford in this week’s AP poll THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK – Over the past decade, Oklahoma has rarely been out of the AP Top 25 and Stanford has rarely been in. On Sunday, the Sooners and Cardinal sort of swapped places. Oklahoma dropped out of the college football poll for the first time since 2005, and No. 25 Stanford moved into the rankings for the first time since 2001. The first six spots were held by major college football’s six unbeaten teams, with Florida, Texas and Alabama making up the top three for the second consecutive week. Florida received 39 first-place votes, Texas received 10 and Alabama 11. TCU moved up two spots to No. 4, bumping No. 5 Cincinnati and No. 6 Boise State back a spot. The top six in the BCS standings were the same as the AP Top 25, except Alabama was second in the BCS standings and Texas was in third. Oklahoma had managed

to stay in the rankings this season while losing three close games without star quarterback Sam Bradford, but Saturday’s 10-3 loss at Nebraska dropped the Sooners to 5-4 and out of the media poll. Notre Dame and Cal dropped out after losses. The rest of the top 10 is Georgia Tech at No. 7, followed by Pittsburgh, Ohio State and LSU. Iowa dropped seven spots to No. 15 after losing for the first time this season, a 17-10 upset at home by Northwestern. The Hawkeyes fell out of the national championship race but are still in control of their Big Ten title hopes. Iowa and Ohio State play in Columbus on Saturday with a trip to the Rose Bowl on the line. Stanford (6-3) moved into rankings after knocking off Oregon 51-42 to become bowl eligible. Oregon fell seven spots to No. 14. No. 24 Clemson also made it into the Top 25 for the first time this season. The Tigers (6-3) beat Florida State 40-24 to

India aims for 7 percent growth

FILE | AP

Passengers wait in long lines at United Airlines domestic terminal at San Francisco International Airport in San Francisco last Thanksgiving weekend. For the holidays, the big airlines added a $20 surcharge each way on popular travel days closest to Christmas and New Year’s.

Airfares begin holiday ascent THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

If holiday travelers on the same plane compare what they paid to fly, they’re likely to find quite a spread, depending on when they bought their tickets. Fares for travel around the holidays have been rising since late summer. Christmas fares are now running 4 percent below a year ago, and the gap is likely to disappear soon. Contrast that with a year ago, when the airlines essentially put the holiday travel season on sale. With the recession in full force, airlines used discounting to fill seats. People who waited to book holiday fares last year saved money. This year, holding off could cost you. Most carriers pushed through a $10 fare increase at the end of October. For the holi-

days, the big airlines added a $20 surcharge each way on popular travel days closest to Christmas and New Year’s. Tom Parsons of BestFares.com compared holiday fares purchased on July 1 with the same itinerary booked on Nov 2. Several had risen 50 percent or more. Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., had more than doubled to $528. Airlines have been shrinking to match a decrease in travel. With the supply of seats more in line with demand, carriers have been able to raise fares close to where they were last holiday season. Average Thanksgiving fares are up 2 percent to $351, according to Bing Travel, the fare-watching Web site owned by Microsoft. The average Christmas fare is around $370 roundtrip, slightly below a year ago. Thanksgiving fares “are up quite a bit

even from where they were at the beginning of October,” said Joel Grus, who tracks fares for Bing Travel. He also thinks Christmas fares will soon be at last year’s levels. Given the upward trend in fares, Grus says book now. Check on fares several times a day. Sometimes seats become available at a lower price. Of course, the cheapest ticket is purchased with frequent flier miles. Airlines only make some seats on each flight available for purchase with frequent flier miles. Some are still available, but Randy Petersen, editor of InsideFlyer magazine, said they’re getting scarce because most holiday travelers started booking those as early as August. “As we get closer, there are good airfare deals,” he said, “but there’s not a lot left in frequent flier miles.”

NEW DELHI, India (AP) – The Indian government is pushing ahead with economic reforms aimed at achieving a growth rate of more than 7 percent next year but will make sure the benefits reach the poor, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Sunday. India’s economy is expected to expand 6.5 percent this year despite inadequate monsoon rains that caused agricultural production to dip, Singh told participants in a three-day India Economic Summit organized by the World Economic Forum. “There are clearly signs of an upturn in the economy. With a normal monsoon next year, we hope to achieve a growth rate of over 7 percent,” Singh said. Singh was India’s finance minister in the early 1990s and was the prime architect of economic reforms that propelled the country on its current growth trajectory. India has fared better than most countries in the ongoing global economic downturn, Singh said. He said the government will now concentrate on accelerating the pace of economic reform, opening up key areas such as the financial sector. However, the government will ensure that the benefits of the policies reach the poorer sections of society, he said. The emphasis will be on creating jobs and raising living standards in rural areas, he said.

Investors await retailers’ reports CHARLOTTE (AP) – Investors will get some guidance about the economy this week from data issued not by the government, but by big retailers in the form of third-quarter earnings reports. The financial markets still are trying to get a sense of whether consumers, while worried about unemployment, are nonetheless willing to spend, especially as the holiday season approaches. “For this economy to really come back, we have to depend on the consumer,” said Yu-Dee Chang, principal of ACE Investment Strategists LLC. Retailers’ monthly sales reports released Thursday showed shoppers still were not splurging as unemployment climbed and credit remained tight. “People will still spend,” said Ray Harrison, principal

DILBERT

of Harrison Financial Group in Citrus Heights, Calif.. “They will just adjust where they spend.” Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the nation’s biggest retaileris expected to announce higher third-quarter earnings on Thursday. Other retailers, including teen

retailer Abercrombie & Fitch Co., and department stores Macy’s Inc. and JC Penney Co. are also due to report earnings this week. Wall Street will want to know if the companies actually made money from higher sales, not because of cost-cutting.

Survey: Gas prices up 2.86 cents nationwide CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) – The average price of regular gasoline in the United States has jumped 2.86 cents over a two-week period to $2.68. That’s according to the national Lundberg Survey of fuel prices released Sunday.

Analyst Trilby Lundberg says the average price for a gallon of midgrade was $2.81. Premium was at $2.93. Tucson, Ariz., had the lowest average price among cities surveyed at $2.36 a gallon for regular.

Anchorage was the highest at $3.30. In California, prices were down slightly. A gallon of regular cost an average of $2.96. Fresno had the state’s least expensive gas at $2.83 a gallon.

WOODS CROSS, Utah – A refinery explosion that severely damaged 10 homes this week was caused by a burst pipe that sprayed hydrogen gas onto a nearby heater, the U.S. Chemical Safety

Board’s lead investigator said. Donald Holmstrom said investigators don’t know why the pipe suffered what he called a “catastrophic failure.” He said the safety board will test what’s left of the pipe to determine what went wrong. “I can assure the people who live around this area that we will do a thorough investigation,” Holmstrom said. The 10-inch pipe was carrying 630 pounds of pressurized hydrogen when it ruptured Wednesday.
