Back in time E. Washington Drive is Washington Street again HIGH POINT – E. Washington Drive has been changed back to Washington Street by the planning and zoning commission. The commission reviewed a proposal to restore the street’s former name, which held until the 1960s when the city adopted a set of guidelines that gave roads that ran east and west certain designations and roads that ran north and south other designations. The proposal is part of the Washington Drive District plan, which aims to restore the historic area. The proposal was passed unanimously, and the name change is effective March 1, 2010. The portion of E. Washington Drive

Hoskins Street intersection will be renamed to the adjoining Gordon Street. “The request is meant to honor the historic name of this community,” said Herb Shannon, senior planner with the planning and development department. “This is an attempt based on the plan to honor a significant portion of its history.” From the late 1890s to the mid-1960s, the roadway was named Washington Street and served as the primary business center for High Point’s AfricanAmerican community, according to the district plan.

HIGH POINT – Representatives of the 2010 United Healthcare North Carolina Marathon on Tuesday outlined some of the changes coming to the race in High Point next year. The marathon, held for the first time in the city in May of this year, will be held March 20. “The reason for the change can be summed up in one word: weather,” said Melissa Fourrier, executive director of Foster Friends of North Carolina and race director. “We wanted to have the race when there was a stronger likelihood of cooler temperatures.” Race participant and honorary chairman

TRIAD – The election canvass Tuesday confirmed the winners of close elections last week in Thomasville and Denton, while leaving one Randolph County race to be decided by drawing a name on a slip of paper in the coming days. The canvass by the Davidson County Board of Elections confirmed winners from the Nov. 3 municipal election, said board Director Ruth Huneycutt. In Thomasville, challenger Jackie Jackson captured the last of seven seats on City Council by an eight-vote margin over incumbent George Burton. In Denton, Mayor Scott Morris edged out challenger Kenny Smalls by six votes, while challenger Wayne Plaster took the second of two town Board of Commissioners seats by 13 votes over Mary Edwards Hoyle. In Randolph County, the canvass confirmed the victory of Trinity Ward 3 Councilwoman Karen Bridges, who ended up Nov. 3 with a 16-vote margin over challenger Robin Russell. The canvass also confirmed the one-vote victory for the final seat on the Seagrove Board of Commissioners, where incumbent Barbara Graves nipped fellow Councilman Gordon Milks. The outcome is more complicated in the town of Staley, where three candidates seeking the last two town Board of Commissioners seats finished tied Nov. 3 with 24 votes. The canvass ended up adding two votes to the total of incumbent Steve Rollins Sr., electing him to one of the two seats, said Board of Elections Director Patsy Foscue. Four ballots that may not have had enough black mark in the circle for the tabulator to detect were counted by hand, she said. Challengers Richard DeGaetano and Tommy Williams ended up with 24 votes each. The final Staley seat will be decided by drawing one of the two candidates’ names from a bowl Monday morning at the Board of Elections in Asheboro, Foscue said.

Organizers set marathon date for March BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

WHO’S NEWS

Charlie Engle applauded the move, and praised High Point’s marathon – which begins and ends at Showplace on E. Commerce Avenue – as among the smoothest of the 30 races all over the country he’s running this year. “It’s a better time for runners,” Engle said of the new date. “What runners want is for things to be very simple, especially if they spend money to fly here and enter the race. ... This town understands how to host people. I can’t stress how critical that is.” After holding the first marathon in Greensboro in 2008, Foster Friends of North Carolina reached an agreement with High Point to have the race in the city through 2015. This year’s event raised about $30,000 for the nonprofit or-

ganization, which works to assist foster children statewide. The city will continue to host the event at no charge to organizers. City officials have previously estimated that the city spent about $25,000 to provide services for this year’s race. Officials cite benefits the event brings to the city such as tourism spending, activity to the downtown area and other exposure. Nearly 2,000 runners participated in this year’s event. Fourrier said organizers hope to double the turnout for next year’s race, which will again include a half-marathon and 5K in addition to the marathon, which is a qualifier for the Boston Marathon.

TEACHER PAY

GUILFORD COUNTY – Parents and taxpayers will have a chance this month to tell school officials how to pay teachers. The district will hold two public forums, one for district staff and one for the community, at Southwest Guilford High School to seek ideas on paying all employees based on their performance rather than on years of service plus consideration for degrees and certifications. Nationally, reformers are pushing to pay teachers based on student achievement. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, where Guilford County Schools Superintendent Mo Green was a deputy superintendent, is considering a performance-based pay scale. During the forums, participants will talk about how to retain high-quality employees and how to ensure employees are rewarded for improving student achievement.

Challenges: At a canvass, candidates and election board members can challenge provisional and absentee ballots. Many voters whose addresses can’t be verified at the polls are given provisional ballots. Official results: Visit www.co.guilford.nc.us/elections_cms. Elections board member Kathryn Lindley first drew a lot that gave Greeson tails on the coin toss. A coin toss has never settled a tie in a local council race before, said Guilford County Elections Director George Gilbert. Greeson and incumbent Ken Jacobs, a 61-year-old cabinet maker, each received 42 votes on Election Day for the second of two open council seats.

The canvass election officials held Tuesday did not change that outcome. Greeson said he entered the race to fulfill promises made when Whitsett was incorporated in 1991. “I hope people follow me,” he said. “I’ll be thinking about where to start. I’ll go one step at a time.” Jacobs did not appear for the coin toss. Neither candidate had to appear.

rectly named Washington Drive because it runs from east to west. Commission member Jim White said the name change was proposed to preserve historic value. Lee Burnette, director of the planning and development department, said the name change would have no effect on public safety.

Incumbent Cindy Wheeler, 47, an executive assistant at Replacement Ltd., easily won the other open seat with 60 votes of 145 cast in the election. Elections officials considered more than 50 provisional ballots in the canvass. No candidates asked recounts in close races. Meanwhile, in Jamestown, incumbent Larry M. Lain finished fifth in a race for four town council seats with 16 percent of the vote. Incumbent Frank Gray finished fourth with 18 percent of the vote. The difference was 24 votes. For a mandatory recount, the margin had to be 1 percent or less, however.

Al-Maliki: No election alliance with Shiites BAGHDAD – Iraq’s prime minister on Tuesday denied reports he will form an alliance with the nation’s leading Shiite parties ahead of national polls in January. Nouri al-Maliki said the suggestions that he will create an election bloc with the rival Shiites of the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council and the followers of anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, are “not true.” But al-Maliki also welcomed all parties to come under the umbrella of his party for the vote or afterward.

Ex-Gates Foundation exec named aid chief SINGAPORE – The Obama administration will nominate a young former executive with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to run America’s top foreign assistance program, ending months of speculation and complaints about who would take the vacant post, U.S. officials said Tuesday. President Barack Obama has chosen Rajiv Shah, a medical doctor and currently a senior official at the Department of Agriculture dealing with food security, to run the U.S. Agency for International Development, the officials said.

NEW DELHI – A landslide triggered by torrential rains swept through a hilly region in southern India, killing at least 42 people, an official said Tuesday. The landslide demolished nearly 300 tin-roofed mud huts Monday in the Ooty and Coonoor region of Tamil Nadu state, a state flood control official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to reporters.

Man to serve 25 years in wife’s scuba slaying TORTOLA, British Virgin Islands – A former dive shop owner convicted of killing his wife on a Caribbean scuba outing in 1999 was sentenced Tuesday to 25 years in prison for what prosecutors called a near-perfect crime motivated by his desire to pursue another woman. David Swain was found guilty of murder nearly a decade after Shelley Tyre drowned while diving at a sunken ship off Tortola.

10,000 Salvadoran flood victims need food VERAPAZ, El Salvador – At least 10,000 Salvadorans are in urgent need of food aid after floods and mudslides destroyed huge swaths of crops during harvest season, the U.N. World Food Program said Tuesday. President Mauricio Funes told reporters the death toll had risen to at least 160, but lowered the number of homeless to 12,930. Dozens of people remained missing.

Japan police arrest suspect in slain Briton case TOKYO – Japanese police said Tuesday that they arrested the main suspect in the slaying of a British teacher whose body was found taped up and halfburied in a sand-filled bathtub, ending a more than two-year manhunt. Lindsay Ann Hawker, 22, was found dead in March 2007 on the balcony of an apartment in Chiba. The apartment belonged to one of her students, Tatsuya Ichihashi. The 30-year-old Ichihashi was arrested on suspicion of abandonment of a body after being spotted at a ferry terminal in Osaka on Tuesday, a police official said on condition of anonymity.

Dutch arrest alleged terrorist wanted by U.S. THE HAGUE, Netherlands – Dutch prosecutors said Tuesday they have arrested a 43-year-old Somali man wanted by U.S. authorities for allegedly financing Islamic extremist terrorists. Prosecutors said in a statement the man lived in Minneapolis before leaving the United States in November 2008 and arrived in the Netherlands about one month later. The identity of the man was not released.

Suicide car bomb kills 24 in northwest Pakistan ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) – A suicide car bomber attacked a crowded market in northwestern Pakistan on Tuesday, killing 24 people and illustrating militants’ growing willingness to target civilians. Taliban insurgents apparently hope the attacks will weaken the army’s resolve to wage an offensive against the the group’s stronghold along

the Afghan border. But the indiscriminate killing could backfire by further turning the public against Islamist extremists, as happened in Iraq. The bombing was the fourth in about a month to target a market in or around Peshawar, the main city in the northwest. The attacks have produced some of the largest death tolls in the past few years.

South Korean analysts, however, said North Korea was sending a clear message ahead of Obama’s two-day visit starting Nov. 18. “It was an intentional provocation by North Korea to draw attention ahead of Obama’s trip,” said Shin Yul, a political science professor at Seoul’s Myongji University.

NATO seizes bomb-making materials in Afghanistan KABUL (AP) – International troops and Afghan police seized 250 tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer – enough to make up to a couple hundred roadside bombs, the Taliban’s most lethal weapon in what has been the deadliest year of the war, NATO announced Tuesday.

State turns its back on Thomas Built Buses I am appalled that the state of North Carolina would contract with a bus company outside of our great state to build 800-900 buses when we have a company here in High Point, a company that probably is struggling for contracts – just like so many other businesses – to keep employees working. They give this business to a Tulsa, Okla., company when our local Thomas Built Buses could certainly fill the order and keep local people working. What is wrong with the officials/leaders (if you want to call them that) that they would give this kind of business to an out of state company and not support their neighbors/ friends right here in the Triad? I will tell you what motivated their decision. It was not what’s best overall. It was not this is a great opportunity to stimulate our North Carolina economy. It was nothing but greed. How dare they do this to North Carolina, and then put it in the paper! They should be ashamed of themselves. And then we keep hearing the recession is over. Well, tell that to those Thomas Built Buses employees who will not get to work a full 40-hour week this week, and maybe not next week, or the next week. Tell them the recession is over. It disgusts me that those in power, making decisions for the rest of us, will allow their greed for money to make poor decisions – selfish decisions – and not think twice about it!

Rezoning for business intrudes on neighborhood Anthony C. Hunt, owner of Quality Motors in Davidson County, recently applied for and was granted a request to rezone 2.89 acres of land on Stormy Trail and Scenic Way from rural agricultural to highway commercial so that he could plop a used car lot into a quiet, residential neighborhood. Numerous residents attended the Oct. 6 planning and zoning meeting and the Nov. 2 commissioners meeting in opposition to this horrible use of spot zoning. But in the end, our county commissioners, along with Hunt, decided that one person’s selfish interests should triumph over the wishes of a community. I would like to publicly thank Commissioners Don Truell, Larry Potts and Cathy Dunn for having the compassion and courage to vote against this spot zoning request.

Remember our veterans

irst, on this Veterans Day 2009, we say thank you to all veterans who have served this nation, whether during wartime or while keeping the peace. Their commitment to this nation and its struggles for freedom is a debt that those among us who did not serve will always strive to repay. In order to maintain our freedoms, this nation must have a strong, well-trained military. Our veterans of the past and those in uniform today are the backbone of the freedom that sets the United States apart from the rest of the world. This Veterans Day, however, our nation and its military mourn the deaths of 13 soldiers and the injuries to dozens who were victims last week of a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas. While the suspect in this tragedy, Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, has been clearly identified by law enforcement authorities, multitudes of questions remain unanswered. And one of the most troubling is why was someone with personal characteristics and actions and a background such as the one emerging for Hasan allowed to go unquestioned while serving in the U.S. Army? Members of Hasan’s family say he felt harassed by other soldiers because of his Muslim religious beliefs. Other soldiers that Hasan had worked or studied with say his actions and views that one soldier termed “anti-American propaganda” should have been enough for superiors to raise questions. As we continue to mourn these deaths, we must continue to seek answers to the many questions in this case.

How will Democrats stem health care fraud?

ne of the strongest talking points of those who want a government-run medical care system is that we simply cannot afford the high and rising costs of medical care under the current system. First of all, what we can afford has absolutely nothing to do with the cost of producing anything. We will either pay those costs or not get the benefits. Moreover, if we cannot afford the quantity and quality of medical care that we want now, the government has no miraculous way of enabling us to afford it in the future. If you think the government can lower medical costs by eliminating “waste, fraud and abuse,” as some Washington politicians claim, the logical question is: Why haven’t they done that already? Over the years, scandal after scandal has shown waste, fraud and abuse to be rampant in Medicare and Medicaid. Why would anyone imagine that a new government medical program will do what existing government medical programs have clearly failed to do? If we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals and pharmaceutical drugs now, how can we afford to pay for doctors, hospitals and pharmaceutical drugs, in addition to a new federal bureaucracy to administer a government-run medical system? Nothing is easier for politicians than to rail against the profits of pharmaceutical companies, the pay of doctors and other things that have very little to do with the total cost of medical care, but which can arouse emotions to the point where facts don’t matter. Economics and politics confront the same fundamental problem: What everyone wants adds up to more than there is. Market economies deal with this problem by confronting individuals with the costs of producing what they want, and letting those individuals make their own trade-offs when presented with prices that convey those costs. That leads to self-rationing, in the light of each individual’s own circumstances and preferences. Politics deals with the same problem by making promises that cannot be kept, or which can be kept only by creating other problems that cannot be acknowledged when the promises are made. Price controls are a classic example. At various times and places, in countries around the world, price controls have been put on any

number of goods and services – going all the way back to the days of the Roman Empire and ancient Babylon. Price controls create lower prices for open and legal transactions – but also black markets where the prices are higher than OPINION they were before, because the risks of punishment for illegal Thomas activity has to be compensated. Sowell Price controls also lead to short■■■ ages and quality deterioration. But politicians who take credit for lower prices blame all these bad consequences on others. Diocletian did this in the days of the Roman Empire, leaders of the French Revolution did this when their price controls on food led to hungry and angry people, and American politicians denounced the oil companies when price controls on gasoline led to long lines at filling stations in the 1970s. It is the same story, whatever the country, the times or the product or service. The self-rationing that people do when prices are free to convey the inherent impossibility of any economy to supply as much as everybody wants is replaced, under price controls, with rationing imposed by government, which cannot possibly have the same knowledge of each individual’s circumstances and preferences – least of all when it comes to medical care, where patients differ in innumerable ways. Here, as elsewhere, there is no free lunch – even though politicians get elected by promising free lunches. A free lunch in medical care is one of the most dangerous illusions of all. Waiting in long gasoline lines at filling stations was exasperating back in the 1970s, but waiting weeks to get an MRI to find out why you are sick, and then waiting months for an operation, as happens in countries with government-run medical systems, can be not only painful but dangerous. You can be dead by the time they find out what is wrong with you and do something about it. But that will “bring down the cost of medical care” because you won’t be around to require any.

They fought for freedoms that we’re now letting slip away BY SHARYN ANDREWS

GUEST COLUMN

y husband and I went out to the airport to watch the Triad Flight of Honor return recently. It was a very moving and humbling experience watching more than 100 World War II veterans as they returned from a day in Washington, and the opportunity to see the memorial dedicated to them and those like them who did not return, or who have since passed on. Some were riding in their wheelchairs or pushing along their walkers. Others were still able in their 80s and 90s to make their way without assistance through the over 1,000 folks that came out to greet them. They accepted the cheers and the hugs and the handshakes with dignity, and more than a few tears in their eyes. Babies and folks in their much later years were all waving flags and wearing the red, white and blue, cheering for those who kept America free. It made me give pause and think about what these heroes represent. These are the people who were willing to risk life and limb to protect the very freedoms that we are casually allowing our government to snatch away from us day by day. They lied about their ages and signed up at 16 and 17 years old; they volunteered to fight those

Let’s stand up! Let’s pick up the spirit of freedom so wonderfully displayed by those who served this country in World War II! Let’s not let our freedom be taken without a fight!

who would lead us into socialism or communism or dictatorship, to give their very lives to make sure that did not happen, to us or to others who were standing up to the tyranny. What must they think of what we are allowing to happen to those freedoms? I find it extremely ironic that when I got home from that very special experience, I picked up the Enterprise and read Thomas SHARYN ANDREWS lives in High Point. Sowell’s column about the piece by piece dismantling of America. The kind of underhandedness and deception and strong-arm tactics he describes, the blatant disregard for what America is and what we represent, the threatening of our freedoms of speech and of choice and our right to bear arms, the proposal of a “national police force” – does it not chill your blood as it does mine? Does it not make you fear for what kind of America our children and grandchildren will inherit from us? It is not too late! As he points out, the first of Obama’s fast-track bills flew through Congress. But the health care debacle has been slowed down by growing resistance.

here could not be a more fitting beginning of the Thanksgiving season than today, Veterans Day. Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. Whenever the time rolls around for turkey, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and a day with the family, I am more than happy to put everything else aside, loosen my belt, and lounge in front of the television, thankful for it all. However, this year something that I’ve known for years has really begun to sink in. They don’t have Thanksgiving in other countries. This realization came to me last month, when I witnessed WXII News’ Triad Flight of Honor coverage. They interviewed several of the men who went, and one idea kept cropping up: “I’m so thankful for the opportunity to do this.” To an extent I can relate to this statement. In eighth grade, my dad took me with him on a trip to Washington, D.C. Among other sites of national importance, we visited the same memorials as the Triad veterans: the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and – most importantly – the World War II Memorial. Even as a young teen, experiencing these sites had a tremendous impact on me. I gained an authentic appreciation for “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Thanksgiving isn’t a global holiday because not every country has these freedoms. Though this statement is simple, it is one of which I believe I will never have a complete comprehension. In school and in the news, I learn about other countries where, by law, women or minorities do not have the equal rights. I learn about countries where citizens are told that they must be of a certain religion or have

certain political beliefs. I learn about dictatorships and other forms of TEEN VIEW government in Leslie Ann which the Blake people ■■■ have essentially no voice. And, most horrifically of all, I learn about places where children are ordered by their parents to go on suicide missions, with the alternative being to face death at home. I, like most Americans, know many people, including relatives, who have been on active duty, and I believe that no solider goes to war with murder in his or her heart. Soldiers courageously venture oversees in hopes of continuing the security of America while attempting to initiate some of our basic rights to citizens of countries who may not have them. We, as Americans, have every right to disagree with the goals of specific wars. However, soldiers past and present have intentions to keep every American safe so that we will always have this right. Therefore, political views aside, every soldier has the right to be treated with respect as a person. As I watched the Triad Flight of Honor coverage, tears came to my eyes at the revelation that the men and women who we should be thankful to are the ones who most fully understand the spirit of Thanksgiving. I will surely make every effort to honor veterans today, in hopes of giving – and receiving – a little bit of this spirit.

Nidal Hasan by name. “It may be hard to comprehend the twisted logic that led to this tragedy,” Obama said. “But this much we do know: No faith justifies these murderous and craven acts.” It was an apparent reference to reports that Hasan had communicated with a radical Islamic imam. A vast investigation is under way, including questions about what the government knew about Hasan and whether action should have been taken. The president’s remarks at a memorial service were personal, more about how the victims lived than how they died.

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) – Sketching out lives that ended too soon, President Barack Obama remembered those slain at Fort Hood as husbands and fathers, immigrants and scholars, optimists and patriots – an expectant mother, a granddaughter of veterans, a music teacher. Just below his speaking platform Tuesday, before thousands of mourners, the dead were remembered in a traditional Army way: 13 pairs of combat boots, each with an inverted rifle topped with a helmet. A picture of each person rested below the boots. “Neither this country, nor the values that we were founded upon, could exist without men and women like these 13 Americans,” Obama told the throng. “And that

HIGH POINT – The city today will begin the process of planting 150 trees in celebration of High Point’s sesquicentennial. The Parks and Recreation Department is scheduled to plant the first tree at 10 a.m. at Southside Recreation Center, 401 Taylor Ave. The Mid-Week Garden Club raised more than $7,000 to fund the project, which calls for trees to be planted in parks and other public spaces throughout the city, as selected by the Urban Forestry Commission, which is part of the city’s Planning and Development Department. “This has been (the club’s) brainchild. I spoke to their club one day and we were talking about the need to plant trees, and then the ball started rolling after that,” said Allen Oliver, High Point’s director of parks and recreation. “They’ve gone out and raised the funds to pay for the trees and have been the driving force behind this.” The commission decided to cluster the trees at sites near main thoroughfares, such as Oak Hollow Dam, the High Point Neal F. Austin Public Library and the Hi tran administration and operations facility on W. Kivett Drive, as well as city fire stations. The trees include native varieties and hardwoods and were supplied by Gossett’s Landscape Nursery Inc. in High Point. “It was an idea I thought was so appropriate for High Point,” Darr said. “We raised the money within the first 30 days.” The plan is for all of the trees to be planted in November, which is “a great time to plant because trees have the opportunity to have their roots established over the winter,” Darr said. The club also has put forth the idea of city residents planting a tree to observe the sesquicentennial, something that Darr reiterated would be appropriate to do into January. “We’re tickled to death to do it,” Oliver said. “We always want to plant more trees and to tie it into our 150th anniversary is a big thing.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

PORT SOUTHERN

–

Type of company: Fine Clothing

Director of finance: Zach Moore

President: Steven Beck BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – If you think that balancing a full-time college workload and numerous campus activities can be time consuming, try launching a new business on top of it all. That’s what four students at High Point University are doing with a new clothing company they’ve created called Port Southern LLC. “I’ve always wanted to be part of a clothing company,” said Steven Beck, a junior at the university and president of the company. “Once this idea began, it just hasn’t stopped.” As a college student, Beck decided he was tired of buying the low-quality clothing typically designed for his age group. Two of his friends, Zach Moore and Nick Ruden, both seniors at the university, agreed with Beck and joined in on the idea one year ago. The trio began to organize the company shortly thereafter. Jeremy Hiatt, a senior and accounting major, joined in the summer to handle the company’s accounts. “We were tired of products that would shrink, fade, fall apart and tear up over time,” Beck said. “We wanted to create an elite brand of clothing of truly high-quality essentials.”

WHERE TO BUY

–

Port Southern clothing items are available at Lindsay Odom Limited in High Point and on the company’s Web site at: www. portsouthern.com A portion of each purchase will go to the company’s Pineapple Fund, which feeds into the High Point Community Foundation and various causes within the community. As native North Carolinians, the four designed clothing they say reflects Southern hospitality, using a pineapple as the company’s signature logo. To manufacture their product, they sought items from a manufacturing facility in China. Once the products arrive, they are further assembled by the students. “Our ultimate goal, which would be a really high one, would be to have a manufacturing facility here in High Point,” Beck said. “More realistically, we would like to employ some people to assemble the clothing and help us fulfill orders in the future.” A line of men’s shirts and croakies for sunglasses were revealed at the company’s launch Tuesday evening, held at the university. They said more products, including a line

of women’s clothing, will follow in the spring. “We want to be a niche product that stays in the boutiques that are popular in the South,” Beck said, noting that the items are available in High Point at Lindsay Odom Unlimited. A portion of each purchase also will be donated to the Pineapple Fund, a branch of the company that donates money to the High Point Community Foundation. When it comes to balancing school work, Moore said he and his partners manage because they are all passionate about their company. “It’s difficult, and we are all in different places in life. But if it’s something we really want, we are willing to do it,” he said. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

WILKESBORO – A kindergarten student and her mother died after a head-on collision on the way to school Tuesday in Wilkes County, according to the N.C. State Highway Patrol. A nurse, who was the driver of the other car involved in the accident, performed CPR on the girl, but the girl and her mother were pronounced dead at Wilkes Regional Medical Center. Killed were Brittney Dancy, 22, of 604 Davis Memorial Church Road, and her daughter, Makayla Birch, 5, said Trooper Alan Hall. He said Dancy was taking her daughter to kindergarten at Mt. Pleasant Elementary School. The accident happened at 7:40 a.m. as Dancy traveled north on Dragway Road. It was raining and her 1992 Honda Accord hydroplaned and crossed the centerline, Hall said. Sarah Huffman, 24, was traveling in the opposite direction in a 2005 Cadillac, coming back to her home along Dragway Road after working a shift as a nurse at Wilkes Regional Medical Center, Hall said. The trooper said that Huffman saw the car coming toward her and pulled onto the shoulder of the road as far as she could to try to avoid the accident, but the cars collided head-on. When the trooper arrived, Huffman had taken Makayla from the car and had her on the trunk lid and was performing CPR. She continued until an ambulance arrived.

MAC Panel lands missile system contract BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A key military defense contract awarded to MAC Panel Co. wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t result in any new hiring, but it will prevent the High Point-based firm from laying off workers, a company official said Tuesday. MAC Panel announced

this week that it received a contract to support the PAC-3, or Patriot Advanced Capability-3, missile defense system being developed by Lockheed Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Missile and Fire Control Systems out of Dallas. MAC Panel previously supplied the PAC-2 with the Series 75 Mass Interconnect System. The decision to award the

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Polo Ralph Lauren will consolidate some out-of-state operations to a High Point facility. A Martinsburg, W.Va., childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wear distribution center will move operations to the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facility at 4100 Beechwood Drive. The nearly 10-year-old West Virginia warehouse will close by December 2010, displacing about 100 employees. Some employees will be offered to relocate to High Point,

according to company officials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A large portion of them will be given the opportunity to relocate,â&#x20AC;? said Ryan Lally, a spokesman with the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headquarters in New York. No new jobs will be added besides the relocations, he said. Its Beechwood Drive facility, which carries a Greensboro address but lies within High Point boundaries, functions as a multiuse warehouse and distribution center. It has been in use since 1991.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a strategic business decision for us,â&#x20AC;? Lally said about the closing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will provide us with the opportunity to provide better customer service overall.â&#x20AC;? Officials announced the closing of the plant to employees on Monday. Employees who do not have the option to relocate will be offered severance packages, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at this as a positive opportunity for Polo Ralph Lauren,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Lexington lawyer wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t challenge Burr MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cal Cunningham, a lawyer from Lexington who has been publicly exploring a run for Senate, will not run next year. Cunningham is a Democrat and a former state legislator who spent months traveling around the state while flirting with the idea of challenging Sen. Richard

Burr, a Winston-Salem Republican. But he told supporters late Monday night in a message on Facebook that he has decided not to run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A campaign for the Senate is about winning and working to be a part of the answer,â&#x20AC;? he wrote in the message, which he sent to members of a group that had been set up in support of his potential campaign.

Husband demands more than wife can provide D

ear Abby: I am a 38-year-old business woman. I was single for many years until I met and fell in love with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rory,â&#x20AC;? who had been a long-time client. We were married a year ago. Rory and I love each other, but we have a problem â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or, should I say, I have one. Rory has a penile implant and an insatiable sex drive. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep up with him. He demands sex every night and sometimes a couple of times during the week at lunchtime. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do because above all I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hurt my husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feelings. Have you any advice for me? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Too Much of a Good Thing

Dear Too Much: Yes, you and your husband appear to have a communication problem, and the solution is to schedule some sessions with a marriage counselor. You are not the â&#x20AC;&#x153;oneâ&#x20AC;? with the problem. When a couple suffers from sexual problems, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a problem shared by both parties. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how long Rory had erectile difficulties before he got his implant, but it appears heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s using the device as a toy and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand the enjoyment must be mutual. And if it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mutual, you have the right to â&#x20AC;&#x153;just say no.â&#x20AC;? Dear Abby: My son is being married soon. It will be his first marriage and his fianceeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second. Would it be proper to have a wedding shower

for our side of the family? My daughter would host it. Also, do we invite the brideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ADVICE mother even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dear a party for Abby our side of â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; the family? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Motherin-Law-to-be in Michigan

Dear Mother-in-Lawto-be: A bridal shower for your future daughter-in-law inviting your side of the family would be a warm, welcoming gesture. However, it should not be hosted by an immediate family member of the bride-tobe or her fiance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which eliminates your daughter. The reason for the restriction preventing close relatives from hosting the event is anyone who attends a shower is obligated to bring a gift. Therefore, a party sponsored by a near relative is a virtual demand for gifts by someone too close to the couple for it to be in good taste. As to whether or not to include the brideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, although bridesmaids and mothers of the engaged couple are usually included, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t carved in stone that they must be. Example: If the party is given by the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contemporaries for members of their generation, the mothers would not necessarily be included. In this case, however, inviting the brideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother so she can become ac-

quainted with your side of the family would be a thoughtful gesture. Dear Abby: My 16month-old daughter loves visiting her grandmom and grandpop. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hitch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Grandpop often meets us at the door dressed only in a T-shirt and briefs. I have heard my mother tell him more than once, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come on, Grandpa, put your pants on!â&#x20AC;? I have tried cajoling him to be more modest. He seems to think since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his home, he can do and wear what he pleases. Any advice? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Underwear in New Jersey Dear Underweary: Just this: If seeing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grandpopâ&#x20AC;? in his underwear bothers you, call before you take your daughter over for a visit to ask if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;decent.â&#x20AC;?

The signs and symptoms of heart attacks are diverse

ear Dr. Donohue: My father died of a heart attack when he was 47. His brother died of one at 45. Naturally, I am concerned. I am only 37, and I have four children and would like to be around when they graduate from high school. I have a simple question: How do I know when I’m having an attack? I need the particulars. – R.B.

BLONDIE

You have every right to have a healthy respect for a heart attack because of your family history. You can’t do anything about your genes, but you can do much to lower the other risks for heart attacks. You should establish yourself with a doctor right now and be checked for blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar, and have an EKG and other heart tests. Heart attacks happen when a heart artery or arteries develop plaque – a buildup of cholesterol, triglycerides and scavenger cells. Plaque forms a mound on the artery wall. Some plaque is fragile. The top of the mound breaks loose, and the body tries to patch it by forming a clot on the raw surface. The clot obstructs blood flow and cuts off blood supply to the heart muscle – a heart attack. Heart attacks have a variety of signs and symptoms. Pain under the breastbone is common. People describe it as crushing. The pain can spread to the neck, jaw, shoulders and arms (left side more than right). The sudden onset of shortness

of breath is another sign, and it might be the only sign in older people. Sweating, HEALTH overwhelming fatigue, Dr. Paul dizziness, Donohue fainting ■■■ and nausea are other indications of a heart attack, and they may be the only signs of one. Fully one-quarter of heart-attack patients have little or no pain. They never know they have suffered a heart attack until an EKG is taken for a physical exam or some other unrelated reason. If people believe they are having an attack, they should have someone call 911 immediately. They also should chew and swallow a low-dose aspirin (75 to 100 mg). Dear Dr. Donohue: I am in my mid-70s. I have osteoporosis and take medicine for it. To prevent excessive loss of calcium in the urine, the doctor also put me on Dyazide. Dyazide promotes increased production of urine and, therefore, more loss of calcium. Would you explain how it helps? – M.Z. Dyazide is the combination of two water pills (diuretics): triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide. Both promote urine formation and increased urination. Hydrochlorothiazide has a unique property: It reduces the loss of calci-

um into the urine. A boon for you. Triamterene also has a unique property: It reduces the loss of potassium, something that often happens with hydrochlorothiazide. Another boon for you. The pamphlet on sodium and potassium explains these elements and their body function. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue – No. 202, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have been diagnosed with dermatomyositis. Other than referring me to a rheumatologist, my doctor hasn’t told me much about it. I did have West Nile virus a few years ago and wonder if it has any relation to it. – J.P. Dermatomyositis (DURmat-oh-MY-oh-SIGH-tiss) is a rare illness in which the immune system turns on the skin (“dermato”) and muscles (“myo”) and inflames them (“itis”). Muscle weakness and skin rashes are its prominent signs. The upper eyelids often take on a purplish color, and a red rash might break out on the face and upper trunk. Some have blamed this illness on several viruses, but proof is not absolute. West Nile virus has not been implicated. Prednisone, one of the cortisone drugs, is the usual initial treatment.

Duke looks to build from loss

WHO’S NEWS

---

BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

DURHAM – Duke coach David Cutcliffe insisted Saturday that his Blue Devils would grow from their hard-to-take loss at North Carolina. Tuesday, he illustrated his belief. “The Golden Gate Bridge and the Empire State Building were both built during the Great Depression, which I think is a good example of what I’m talking about,” Cutcliffe said. “Difficult times make you better, and that’s the challenge we face this week.” Cutcliffe said the Blue Devils showed signs of depression after the loss, which ended a threegame winning streak and put a serious damper on Duke’s postseason hopes. But Tuesday morning, at Duke’s first full practice since the loss, Cutcliffe saw signs of life. The Blue Devils will have to be going at full speed come Saturday when No. 7 Georgia Tech visits Wallace Wade Stadium (noon, ESPN2). If the Yellow Jackets (9-1, 6-1 ACC) extend their winning streak to eight games, they’ll wrap up the ACC’s Coastal Division and a spot in the ACC title game. If Duke (5-4, 3-2) bounces back, the Blue Devils will remain in the race along with Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech and Miami. The Blue Devils say they understand the stakes and insist that one loss isn’t going to derail their dreams, which include a bowl bid with a 2-1 finish. “Nobody likes to lose to Carolina,” linebacker Damian Thornton said. “But we’re not dwelling on the past.”

Iverson MIA in Memphis MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – Former All-Star guard Allen Iverson wasn’t around Tuesday night as the Memphis Grizzlies returned home after a disappointing 0-5 road trip to face the Portland Trail Blazers. Iverson, an off-season signee, left the Grizzlies last weekend for personal reasons. Memphis coach Lionel Hollins addressed the issue in a lengthy interview before the Portland game and, he is approaching the situation as if he is not returning “because who knows how long it is going to be.”

Wake Forest’s Al-Farouq Aminu (right) celebrates with fans after a Demon Deacon victory in Winston-Salem last season. Aminu and the Deacons hope to have plenty of reasons to celebrate this season as they rebuild for another run at ACC and national success. Wake must replace underclassmen Jeff Teague and James Johnson, who left after last season to play in the NBA.

Deacons aim high without NBA talent E

lectrifying in the middle of the season and mortifying at the end, Wake Forest is hoping for a little consistency this season – while defying lowered expectations. “There’s an emphasis on being more consistent, playing well when we go into hostile environments, finishing strong,” senior center David Weaver said. No doubt. The Demon Deacons’ 24-7 campaign last winter included a 16-0 start, a victory over then-No. 1 North Carolina, a rise to the top spot in the polls and second-place finish in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Then came the ultimate thud: an 84-69 loss to No. 13 Cleveland State in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. Mixed in with the disappointment of that defeat this summer were the departures of underclassmen Jeff Teague and James Johnson to the NBA Draft, leaving Wake picked sixth in the ACC preseason poll. That may not be high enough, the Deacs agreed. “We have great freshmen who came in and they’re really talented,” offered star point guard Ish Smith. “It’s going to be exciting this year.” Added coach Dino Gaudio, in his third year leading the team following the death of Skip Prosser: “I’m excited about the season. We’ve got four seniors – Ish Smith, L.D. Williams, Chas McFarland, David Weaver – who have been through the ACC wars. I think we have one of the best point guards in the ACC and one of the best young talents in the league in Al-Farouq Aminu. We lost some very good players, but we have some very good play-

ers coming back.” It starts with Aminu, the 6-foot-9, 215-pound sophomore forward who landed on the Naismith preseason watch list. The athletic wing can SPORTS play small forward and dominate foes Steve with his size, or slide Hanf into the power for■■■ ward spot and use his quickness to thrive. Aminu started 30 times last year and averaged 12.9 points and 8.2 rebounds per game to go along with 38 blocks, 30 steals and 46 assists. Opponents also can expect an improved outside game after Aminu went just 7-for-39 from long range last winter. “Al-Farouq spent a lot of time shooting,” Gaudio said. “He didn’t shoot great on 3s last year, but he’s really a kid that can play inside as well as out. He’s really worked on his perimeter game this offseason.” With Teague gone, the unquestioned backcourt star this year is Smith. The 6-foot, 175-pound senior from Concord seemed unstoppable after leading the ACC in assists as a freshman, then took a backseat last year to Teague. Smith, however, said he learned valuable lessons serving as a reserve in all 29 games due to a broken foot suffered in September. “Last year probably was the best I’ve played since I’ve been at Wake Forest,” Smith offered. “The last 10, 11 games, what I did was I took the role and tried to be more aggressive. I learned a lot from Jeff. I watched him and he was always aggressive, kept the defense back on their heels, and he always had scor-

ing opportunities for our team.” Smith hopes to score his own points and dish out assists in equal number this season. Wake boasts an embarrassment of riches in the post in 7-foot senior McFarland, 7-foot sophomore Ty Walker, 6-11 senior Weaver and 6-11 sophomore Tony Woods, and Smith plans to feed the post every chance he gets. “That’s not a bad crop to pick from,” Smith said with a smile. “I’m blessed to have those guys running beside me. I’m going to try to find those guys and get easy buckets every time.” The big guys, along with Williams – the impressive senior guard – also should help Wake continue its recent success on the defensive end. Gaudio praised last year’s team for finishing in the top 25 defensively after being 241st three years ago. “We held teams to 39.8 field-goal percentage on defense, we were the best 3-point field-goal percentage team in the ACC, we can also be very good on the backboards,” Gaudio said. But can they score? That remains to be seen as Wake enters the 2009-10 season on the 13th at home against Oral Roberts. Aminu and Smith should star. Woods and junior guard Gary Clark should be bigger threats, and freshmen C.J. Harris (Mount Tabor) and Ari Stewart could offer immediate contributions. “When you lose guys of NBA caliber such as Jeff and James Johnson, you have to replace that,” Weaver said. “It’s not necessarily going to be a burden on one or two guys to do that. We’ve got to do that collectively” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

HIT AND RUN

he Yankees’ 27th World Series crown clearly puts the Pinstripers at the top of the Major League Baseball championship mountain. In the NBA, the Boston Celtics reign with 17 world championships. And in the NHL, the Montreal Canadiens have sipped from Lord Stanley’s Cup a record 24 times. All three of those storied franchises stand out in title lore. For some reason, no NFL team comes so quickly to mind when I think of championships.

So I did a little research and discovered that Green Bay truly is Titletown, U.S.A. when it comes to pro football. The Packers own a record 12 NFL championships. That includes NFL championship-game victories prior to the Super Bowl era and Super Bowl wins post 1966. I did not know that Green Bay was the only NFL franchise to capture three straight league titles, turning the trick twice – 1929-31 and 1965-67. The Chicago Bears rank second with nine

NFL crowns, followed by the New York Giants with seven. That stands to reason, as they represent three of the league’s oldest franchises. And in a curious bit of trivia, those three franchises share the NFL mark for most seasons with the league’s best regular-season record. They each led the way in 21 regular seasons. To borrow a catch-phrase from the legendary Johnny Carson, I did not know that.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

Derek Jeter sure is stuffing his trophy case this year. The steady Yankees shortstop won his fourth Gold Glove on Tuesday, joining New York first baseman Mark Teixeira among the American League players rewarded for fantastic fielding. “I’ve always taken a great deal of pride in my defense, and being honored with a Gold Glove is an accomplishment I will never overlook,” Jeter said in a statement. Los Angeles Angels center fielder Torii Hunter and Seattle right fielder Ichiro Suzuki both won for the ninth straight season. First-time winners included Tampa Bay third baseman Evan Longoria, Baltimore outfielder Adam Jones and Chicago White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle. Minnesota catcher Joe Mauer and Detroit second baseman Placido Polanco each earned their second award. Rawlings has presented Gold Gloves annually since 1957. Managers and coaches vote on players in their own leagues before the regular season ends, but they may not select members of their own teams. National League winners will be announced today.

NO. 10 HIGH POINT CENTRAL AT NO. 7 GLENN

NO. 9 LEXINGTON AT NO. 8 TRINITY

Records: Central 8-3; Glenn 8-3 Last week: Central lost 34-7 to Ragsdale; Glenn fell 17-16 to East Forsyth Next week: Winner vs. No. 2 Dudley or No. 15 Greensboro Smith This week: The road through the 4A West bracket will be a familiar one for the Bison as long as they can keep playing, with Piedmont Triad 4A Conference rivals Glenn and Ragsdale looming in between a matchup at powerful Dudley. Central and Glenn played three weeks ago, with the Bobcats taking a 14-7 decision that put Glenn in line to knock off Ragsdale for the No. 1 spot. That didn’t happen, as the Tigers first dispatched Glenn (23-10) and then Central (34-7). Glenn settled for a tie for second place in the league with last week’s surprising finish against East Forsyth. The stout Bison defense must bounce back from last week’s beating to stop Glenn’s powerful running game led by Josh Hawkins. The Bobcats, meanwhile, will look to harass QB Drew Adams and top threat Derek Grant into another off night.

Records: Lexington 5-6; Trinity 6-5 Last week: Lexington lost 23-13 to Thomasville; Trinity fell 20-7 to Carver Next week: Winner vs. No. 1 Starmount or No. 16 Surry Central This week: A pair of up-and-down teams meet in this 2A West first-rounder with a shot at one of the state’s weaker top seeds – 9-2 Starmount – on the line. Lexington landed third in the Central Carolina Conference behind Thomasville and Salisbury, but played exceptionally well in last week’s loss to the Bulldogs. Trinity’s Bulldogs, meanwhile, proved they can play with the kinds of athletes Lexington brings to the table in close losses to Andrews and Carver.

---

NO. 9 KINSTON AT NO. 8 T. WINGATE ANDREWS

---

Records: Kinston 9-2; Andrews 7-4 Last week: Kinston beat North Pitt 43-12; Andrews topped Wheatmore 66-0 Next week: Winner vs. No. 1 East Duplin or No. 16 St. Paul’s This week: Not only did the Red Raiders land in the 2AA East bracket, facing a potential secondround trip of more than three hours, but they drew one of the toughest first-round games in the state. Kinston lost just twice this year, to unbeaten SouthWest Edgecombe and one-loss Tarboro, the other powerhouse in a top-heavy Eastern Plains Conference. The Vikings are coached by Battle Holley – who Thomasville fans will recall to be the son of legendary Wallace-Rose Hill coach Jack Holley – and boast a high-octane offense and a defense led by all-state cornerback Kewitt Koonce. Kinston QB Dory Hines has thrown for 1,390 yards, tossing just two picks to go with his 16 touchdowns. Chris Brown is the top rushing threat with 1,072 yards and 12 TDs for an offense averaging 35.5 points per game. So if Andrews wants to make noise Down East, the Raiders will have to play one of their best games of the year, which means cutting back on the penalties and mistakes that have plagued the team much of the season.

NO. 14 WATAUGA AT NO. 3 RAGSDALE

---

Records: Watauga 6-5; Ragsdale 11-0 Last week: Watauga lost 16-13 to St. Stephens; Ragsdale slammed Central 34-7 Next week: Winner vs. No. 4 Asheville Reynolds or No. 13 East Gaston This week: The Tigers get to play with a chip on their shoulder in these 4A West playoffs, seeded third behind fellow unbeaten R.J. Reynolds and No. 2 Dudley – a 10-1 squad that lost to the Tigers the second week of the season! But the state association seeds the playoffs based on 10-game records and breaks ties in a drawing, so No. 3 it is for Ragsdale. First up is a Pioneers squad from the Northwestern 3A/4A Conference. Watagua, located more than two hours away west of Boone, actually is on track to win Friday’s game. The Pioneers have gone winloss-win-loss the past eight weeks now, and they fell to St. Stephens in their regular-season finale to finish tied for third in the league. Several of the defeats were of the “quality” variety, including to 101 Alexander Central, 10-1 Shelby and 9-2 Asheville Reynolds.

NO. 9 JESSE CARSON AT NO. 8 LEDFORD

---

Records: Carson 6-5; Ledford 6-5 Last week: Carson was idle; Ledford lost 53-0 to Northeast Guilford Next week: Winner vs. No. 1 Cardinal Gibbons or No. 16 Currituck This week: The new school that relieved overcrowding at South and East Rowan high schools played well enough in its fourth year of existence to land in the middle of the 3A East bracket. Carson placed fourth in the North Piedmont Conference, losing to unbeaten and top-ranked West Rowan, 9-2 South Rowan and 8-3 East Rowan in league play and strong Salisbury plus Hickory Ridge earlier in the year. The Cougars like to score points and give up plenty, so the Panthers could be in for a shootout with a trip to Raleigh on the line next week. That, of course, assumes 1-10 Currituck – which initially announced its intentions to forfeit the first-rounder before recanting at the last minute – doesn’t pull a shocker over the No. 1 seed.

---

NO. 13 EAST RUTHERFORD AT NO. 4 THOMASVILLE

---

Records: East 4-7; Thomasville 7-4 Last week: East beat Chase 23-17 in OT; Thomasville topped Lexington 23-13 Next week: Winner vs. No. 5 Polk County or No. 12 Brevard This week: Last year’s 1AA champs begin their quest for a 2A title this week against an East squad from the South Mountain Athletic 3A/2A. The Cavaliers of Forest City lost five of their last seven games, but took 10-1 Shelby to the wire in a 19-16 OT loss. A Thomasville win could set up a familiar playoff matchup against former 1A foil Polk next week.

NO. 10 BISHOP AT NO. 7 WEST MONTGOMERY

---

Records: Bishop 9-2; West 8-3 Last week: Bishop beat North Stokes 10-0; West beat East Montgomery 54-13 Next week: Winner vs. No. 6 East Surry or No. 11 East Wilkes This week: Finishing third behind state powers Mount Airy and East Surry did the Villains no favors. Their No. 10 seed in the 1AA West gave them a trip to Yadkin Valley 1A foe West Montgomery, which lost once in league play to powerhouse Albemarle along with Jordan-Matthews and Charlotte Latin. Still, it could be worse. The preliminary brackets posted early Saturday had No. 10 Bishop visiting Murphy. This bus ride will be significantly shorter.

NO. 14 SOUTHERN GUILFORD AT NO. 3 HAVELOCK

---

Records: Southern 5-6; Havelock 10-1 Last week: Southern lost 14-9 to Asheboro; Havelock beat West Craven 42-40 Next week: Winner vs. No. 4 West Craven or No. 13 Southern Vance This week: A late-season swoon left Southern at the bottom of the 3A East bracket against the Rams. In addition to facing a bus ride of nearly five hours, the Storm also gets the Coastal 3A Conference’s best in a Havelock squad that averages 36 points per game. The Rams’ lone loss came 36-28 to Kinston.

NO. 14 SOUTH DAVIDSON AT NO. 3 ROBBINSVILLE

---

Records: South 3-8; Robbinsville 8-2 Last week: South lost 41-8 to North Rowan; Robbinsville beat Cherokee 56-12 Next week: Winner vs. No. 6 South Stanly or No. 11 Lakewood This week: South was one of eight teams in the 1A bracket (and three more in 1AA) that made the playoffs with three wins or less. The Wildcats’ reward is a trip of more than five hours to the Great Smoky Mountains: Robbinsville is almost due south of Knoxville, remarkably enough. The Black Knights tied for first in the Smoky Mountain Conference with Murphy and Swain County. – COMPILED BY STEVE HANF

CHAPEL HILL – Defending NCAA champion and 2009 ACC champion North Carolina has received one of the top four seeds in the 2009 NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Championship and will play host to Big South Conference champion High Point Friday at 5 p.m. at Fetzer Field in the NCAA Tournament first round. The Tar Heels (17-3-1) won the ACC champion-

North Carolina’s Marcus Ginyard (1) goes to the floor for a loose ball as Florida International’s Marvin Roberts looks on during the second half of Monday night’s game in Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels won 88-72 and look to go 2-0 on the young season when N.C. Central visits the Smith Center for a 9 p.m. tip tonight.

Tar Heels seek more answers vs. NCCU tonight

HIGH POINT – Sophomore Nick Barbour led the team with 17 points and redshirt freshman Corey Law recorded a doubledouble with 11 points and 10 rebounds to help lead the High Point University men’s basketball team to a dominating 93-25 win over Johnson & Wales in exhibition action Tuesday night before a crowd of 1,187 at the Millis Center. “It was a good dress rehearsal for us, I think it was good to get our guys out on the floor in front of our fans and for our guys to face someone besides themselves,” said head coach Scott Cherry. “We did some good things. We’re going to look at the film, and what we’re trying

in the win over FIU on Monday and lasted longer than the 2:11 in the exhibition win over Belmont Abbey. The junior recorded six points and six rebounds in 17 minutes – the lowest amount of playing time among the starters – and finished 0-of-3 from beyond the arc. Freshmen John Henson and twins David and Travis Wear also saw time on the perimeter, but none made a 3-pointer. The Tar Heels finished 4-of-13 on 3point attempts against FIU, and Williams said the 12 attempts in the first half were too many. “We’ve always been a team that does a great job at the free-throw line more than the other team,” Williams said. “Just because they play zone does not mean we have to take the first outside shot we look at.” As expected, Larry Drew II got his first start at point guard for the Tar Heels on Monday, and the sophomore turned in a solid performance. He dished out six assists and committed just two turnovers, while adding seven points. And when Drew needed a break, it was freshman Dexter Strickland who came in to take over at point. While Strickland struggled – he had five turnovers and one assist in 11 minutes – he showed flashes of his potential. Strickland’s lone points of the night came on his only shot of the game on a jumper at the buzzer at the end of the first half.

LYNCHBURG, Va. – The High Point University volleyball team dropped a 25-14, 25-23, 25-18 decision to the Liberty Flames on Tuesday night. The Panthers fell to 16-16 (5-10 Big South Conference) on the season. “Liberty was really good tonight and showed weaknesses in out armor,” said head coach Jason Oliver. “It was a perfect game to learn from and get

Magic bounces Bobcats

CHARLOTTE (AP) – Dwight Howard had 15 points and 10 rebounds, Vince Carter scored 15 in his return from a sprained ankle, and the Orlando Magic bounced back from an ugly loss to beat Charlotte 93-81 on Tuesday night. Two nights after losing by 28 points in Oklahoma City, the Magic built a big lead with the help of Carter, who had missed four of the past five games. Brandon Bass scored 12 of his 14 points in the first quarter as Orlando tuned up for Wednesday’s home game with Cleveland. Raymond Felton had 18 points and Boris Diaw added 14 for Charlotte.

Davidson prepares for life after Stephen Curry DAVIDSON (AP) – Davidson coach Bob McKillop, upset with his team’s defense, halted practice and brought his players together. He then reeled off the names of the three starters from last season no longer on the roster – mentioning Stephen Curry last. “We’ve got to be perfect,” McKillop yelled, “We’ve got to be a team.” Above him was the banner proclaiming “NCAA Tournament Elite 8 2008,” the dominant symbol of a storybook three-year run that ended steps away in a conference room in April when the dynamic Curry announced he was leaving for the NBA. With Curry taking his limitless range and smooth jump shot across the country to Golden State, a col-

lection of players lacking experience or trying to overcome flaws must be nearly perfect to duplicate the success their superstar and buddy brought to this tiny liberal arts school. Curry led Davidson to a 85-20 mark in three years, including a remarkable run in 2008 that ended a missed 3-pointer shy of the Final Four and perhaps forever changed this school. Seniors Will Archambault (8.3 points), Bryant Barr (7.1) and Steve Rossiter (6.1) are Davidson’s top three returning scorers. McKillop’s son, Brendan, is expected to become the full-time point guard. A collection of freshmen, led by big man Jake Cohen, are going to have to contribute immediately.

Kerr leads LPGA to win at 3-Tour Challenge HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) – The LPGA is catching up in 3-Tour Challenge victories. Cristie Kerr shot 4-under 32 on the back nine to lead the LPGA team to a win Tuesday in the Wendy’s 3-Tour Challenge. It is the LPGA’s fifth win in the made-for-TV event that pits three-person teams from the PGA Tour, Champions Tour and LPGA. The PGA Tour leads with seven wins and the Champions Tour has six. The LPGA team of Kerr, Suzann Pettersen and Natalie Gulbis had a

combined score of 6 under on the final nine holes to beat the PGA Tour team of Stewart Cink, Fred Couples and Bubba Watson by two strokes and win $300,000. Combined with their $100,000 purse from the opening nine, the women won the overall title by $70,000 over the PGA. The Champions Tour team of Nick Price, Fred Funk and Jay Haas finished third with $270,000 after earning $200,000 by winning the front nine with a team score of 9 under.

to do is establish our identity. The guys worked as a team and helped each other, which is what I wanted them to do.” The Panthers had six players in double figures in scoring: Barbour (17), Law (11), David Campbell (14), Cruz Daniels (13), Jairus Simms (13) and Eugene Harris (11). Daniels and Campbell also had seven rebounds each and Daniels blocked four shots. Simms and junior transfer Tehran Cox each added four assists. The Panthers jumped out to a 33-6 lead in the opening 10 minutes. For the Wildcats, James Atkins scored six points and pulled down eight rebounds. HPU opens the regular season on Saturday when it hosts UNC Pembroke at 4 p.m. at the Millis Center.

CHAPEL HILL – The two biggest question marks facing the frontcourt-heavy North Carolina basketball team entering this season were its guard play and perimeter shooting. And heading into the second game, those questions remain. UNC hosts N.C. Central tonight (9 p.m., ESNPU) in its final home game of the 2K Sports Classic benefitting Coaches vs. Cancer. Tonight’s game also marks NCCU’s season opener and the debut of first-year coach LeVelle Moton. While No. 6 UNC isn’t expected to have much trouble against NCCU, which finished 4-27 in the 2008-09, the game will allow the Tar Heels’ young backcourt and perimeter to get some more experience before travelling to Madison Square Garden next week to face Ohio State and either Syracuse or Cal in the Championship Rounds of the Coaches vs. Cancer tournament. “You always have to have a complete all-around game,” UNC’s Will Graves said. “We can go inside all we want to, but they’re going to start double-teaming and then we’re going to have open shots on the outside and we’re going to have to knock them down.” Graves got the start on the perimeter

Tickets for Friday’s first-round games are $8 for adults and $5 for adults and senior citizens. All tickets are general admission and are good for both games. UNC will also host the second round at Fetzer Field on Sunday at 1 p.m. The winner of the UNCHigh Point game and the Georgia-UNCW game will meet at that time.

Group announces three races for Wilkesboro BY GREER SMITH HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE

MOTORSPORTS NOTES: The group that intends to reopen North Wilkesboro Speedway plans to hold at least three lower-tier late model races next year. Speedway Associates Inc., which has signed a three-year lease with an option to buy the facility from Speedway Motorsports, previously announced the .625-mile track would reopen with a 250lap USAR ProCup event on Oct. 3. SAI said Tuesday that it also intends to serve as the new home for one of the biggest events in the ASA Late Model

Series and a PASS South race. Dates were not announced. The ASA event is its Kings Ransom 300, which was held last weekend at what is expected to be the last week at Memphis Motorsports Park â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is being closed by Dover Motorsports. The ASA tourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drivers are typically from the Midwest and the mid and deep South. Among the drivers who were on the PASS Series roster this year were Dave Blaneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Ryan, Bill Elliottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Chase, and Mark Gibson and Duane Linville from Kernersville.

Steelers peak for second half as AFC race develops PITTSBURGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; At the same time the Colts and Patriots are looking ahead to their pivotal AFC game in Indianapolis on Sunday night, they might be tempted to peek over their shoulders at the Steelers. With a look of worry, too. The Super Bowl champions are gaining on them. Winners of five in a row, the Steelers are looking again like a team no one would willingly play in January. Or February. The Denver Broncos might pass along this message to the Cincinnati Bengals: The Steelers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much fun in November, either. The Steelers (6-2) appear to have long since moved past their last-minute

losses to the Bears and Bengals that occurred with star safety Troy Polamalu injured and out. Their defense-driven 28-10 victory in Denver on Monday night put them in position to take over sole possession of the AFC North lead if they beat Cincinnati (6-2) on Sunday. In their last two games, the Steelers have been dominant defensively and effective offensively in defeating two teams that were unbeaten only a couple of weeks ago, the Vikings (7-1) and the Broncos (6-2). â&#x20AC;&#x153;We pride ourselves on being a great, dominant road team,â&#x20AC;? said wide receiver Hines Ward, who made two touchdown catches in Denver.

But after following their 0-for-October by beating Maryland, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to appreciate winning again â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter how good or bad they looked doing it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a breath of fresh air,â&#x20AC;? offensive lineman Jeraill McCuller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it kind of lifted guysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spirits and gave guys hope around here that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a bright future for this program and this season.â&#x20AC;? It also has given the Wolfpack (4-5, 14 Atlantic Coast Conference) the belief that they can turn their season around with another strong finish. N.C. State improved to 7-2 under Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien in November with last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 38-31 win over the Terrapins. Now the challenge is to duplicate the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Kass injured his right knee in the second quarter when he fumbled after a catch and had several players fall on him. Holtz also says defensive lineman Josh Smith is questionable with a shoulder injury and missed most of last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practices. The injury announcements werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unexpected, but they do cast a pall over the end of the season for the Pirates (5-4, 4-1 C-USA). After going 0-for-3 against the three powerconference teams on the schedule, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to be content to chase their second straight league title. East Carolina enters

the final three games of the season alone in first place in the East Division, one game ahead of the four-way logjam in second place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In spite of the injuries, I think this football team is very focused and hungry,â&#x20AC;? Holtz said.

JPMorgan Chase to hire 1,200 ISELIN, N.J. – JPMorgan Chase & Co. said Tuesday it will hire 1,200 mortgage loan officers by the end of next year, a 60 percent increase in its sales force. The workers are needed as the company aggressively goes after new home mortgage business and customers refinancing their home loans. Through organizational changes and additional systems, the company has boosted its loan capacity, said Dave Lowman, head of home lending at Chase.

U.S. median home prices drop NEW YORK (AP) – A real estate group says home prices fell in eight out of every 10 U.S. cities in the third quarter of this year as heavily discounted distressed sales made up 30 percent of all deals. But home sales continued their climb, with quarterly sales outpacing the second quarter and the previous year’s figures, the National Association of Realtors said Tuesday. The median sales prices of existing homes declined

in 123 out of 153 metropolitan areas compared with the same period a year ago. Prices rose in the other 30 cities. The national median price clocked in at $177,900, or 11 percent below the third quarter last year. “The decline in the national median price has moderated recently, and a shrinking supply of unsold inventory suggests we are getting closer to price stabilization in many areas, “ said Lawrence Yun,

the group’s chief economist, in a statement. “But we need a steady stream of financially qualified buyers to further reduce inventory and get us to a self-sustaining market.” Prices in Fort Myers, Fla., plunging 40 percent to $98,000 from a year ago, the worst in the nation. Las Vegas saw its median price tumble almost 35 percent to $138,500 yearover-year. The largest price gain, by contrast, was in Cumberland, Md., where pric-

es jumped 19 percent to $122,100. Davenport, Iowa, followed with an increase of 14 percent to $115,600. The federal tax credit of up to $8,000 for firsttime homebuyers helped boost sales in the third quarter. U.S. home sales grew in 45 states from the second quarter, with 28 states posting double-digit gains. Total quarterly sales hit a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.3 million, up more than 11 percent from 4.76 million in the second quarter.

Housing relief gains steam

Beazer Homes posts profit for quarter NEW YORK – Shares of Beazer Homes USA jumped 15 percent Tuesday after the homebuilder posted a fourth-quarter profit and a nice improvement in gross margins. The Atlanta company’s stock rose 70 cents to $5.39 in morning trading. Beazer reported “some moderation” in weak market trends thanks to low interest rates and a federal tax credit for first-time homebuyers. But the company said high unemployment and rising foreclosures make it difficult to predict when the housing market will recover. FILE | AP

Oracle to fight regulator on merger SAN FRANCISCO – Oracle Corp. said Monday that it will “vigorously” fight the European Commission’s formal antitrust objections to the corporate-software giant’s $5.6 billion bid for Sun Microsystems Inc. – a blockbuster deal that’s already been cleared by U.S. regulators. The European regulator’s statement of objections to the merger “reveals a profound misunderstanding” of database-software competition and open-source software, Oracle said.

Sprint, others give Clearwire financing NEW YORK – Investors in Clearwire Corp. Tuesday said they are pumping an additional $1.5 billion into the company so it can keep building out its nationwide wireless data network. Sprint, which owns 51 percent of Clearwire, put up $1.176 billion. Comcast Corp. invested $196 million, and Time Warner Cable Inc. and Bright House Networks are adding $103 million and $19 million, respectively. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

President Barack Obama signed a bill last week extending and expanding the federal tax credit. Now, buyers who have owned in their current homes for at least five years are eligible for tax credits of up to $6,500. First-time homebuyers – or anyone who hasn’t owned a home in the last three years – would still get up to $8,000. To qualify, buyers have to sign a purchase agreement by April 30, 2010, and close by June 30.

FedEx projects busier busiest day NEW YORK (AP) – FedEx is predicting a little more holiday cheer this year. The company, based in Memphis, Tenn., forecasts it will ship 13 million packages on Dec. 14, which it expects to be its busiest day this year. That would be up more than 8 percent from the total of about 12 million packages shipped on its peak day last year. That was the busiest day ever for FedEx, due in part to a growing partnership with the U.S. Postal Service. Last year’s volumes were also boosted because of

rival DHL exiting the U.S. market. It shipped about 11.5 million packages through its Ground and Express units in 2007. FedEx Corp. bases its predictions on discussions with large customers and improving economic data. FedEx ships about 7.5 million packages on an average day. Both FedEx and larger rival United Parcel Service Inc. hire thousands of workers to account for the increased holiday haul each year. This year, FedEx’s

Ground unit will add 14,000 additional part time and temporary workers during November and December. At FedEx Express, part-time and full-time employees work overtime as needed during the holiday season. UPS spokesman Norman Black said the company, based in Atlanta, expects to hire about 50,000 seasonal workers in the U.S. this year. It hired 60,000 seasonal workers in 2007. It didn’t release statistics in 2008. All FedEx’s shipment numbers include a partnership with the U.S.

China leads way in eastern recovery SINGAPORE (AP) – The Great Recession has been painful but quick for most of Asia – and leaders gathering for a regional summit here this week are seeking to ensure the recovery stays on track. Lavish stimulus spending – bolstered by relatively healthy regional finances put in place following the Asian finan-

cial crisis a decade ago – is helping perk up economies around the Pacific Rim, with big-spending China leading the way. But sustaining the region’s economies once stimulus ebbs is the next challenge, and leaders at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum say the focus must now shift to freer trade. On Tuesday, Singapore

broached the issue with an ambitious call for an Asia-Pacific free trade area that would comprise about half of global trade. Any backsliding on trade liberalization would be disastrous for a world economy still emerging from economic crisis, said George Yeo, foreign minister of Singapore, which is host to the 21-member APEC forum.

Postal Service, where some packages mailed through the post office are routed for final delivery by a FedEx driver. Dec. 17 is the last day to guarantee delivery through FedEx Ground. Dec. 23 is the last day to ship via the company’s Express service. Both FedEx and UPS generally release their holiday peak predictions in November. But neither company offered predictions last year, citing economic uncertainty. UPS expects to release a prediction later this month.

WASHINGTON (AP) – After a slow start, the Obama administration’s mortgage relief program has reached one in five eligible homeowners, a government report says. As of the end of October, more than 650,000 borrowers, or 20 percent of those eligible, have signed up for trials lasting up to five months, the Treasury Department said Tuesday. The modifications reduce monthly payments to more affordable levels. Launched with great fanfare in March, the plan got off to a weak start, but now nearly 920,000 loan modification offers have been sent to more than 3.2 million eligible homeowners. That works out to 29 percent, up from 15 percent at the end of July. In California, about 130,000 homeowners have been enrolled in the “Making Home Affordable” loan modification plan, which President Barack Obama unveiled in February. That works out to about 19 percent of the state’s homeowners who were either two payments behind or in foreclosure at the end of last month, according to Treasury Department data.

NEW YORK (AP) – Caution returned to the stock market Tuesday as investors decided to slow an advance that has lifted the Dow Jones industrial average 475 points in five days. Stocks mostly fell in light trading, though the Dow tacked on 20 points to close at a new high for the year. The modest advance came a day after the Dow shot up 200 points for the second time in three days. Broader indexes slipped as the market again took its direction from the dollar. Stocks drove higher Monday as the dollar weakened and slipped Tuesday as the currency rose. “People are reaching for a little less risk today after we’ve had such a run,” said Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Wealth Management.

resulting slide in the dollar have been major forces behind the surge in stocks in recent months. A weaker dollar allows investors to borrow money cheaply, while low interest rates also encourage them to hold any assets other than low-yielding cash, such as stocks, commodities and bonds. The falling dollar has enabled many investors to look past some of the economy’s persistent trouble spots, including unemployment. The jobless rate rose to 10.2 percent in October, the highest level in 26 years. The Dow rose 20.03, or 0.2 percent, to 10,246.97, its highest close since Oct. 3, 2008. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index slipped 0.07, or less than 0.1 percent, to 1,093.01, after six days of gains. The Nasdaq composite index fell 2.98, or 0.1 percent, to 2,151.08.

Officials say weak recovery won’t spur jobs October. It marked only the second time in the post-World War II period that the rate surpassed 10 percent. In separate speeches, Janet Yellen, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, and Dennis Lockhart, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, warned that rising unemployment could crimp consumers, restraining the recovery. Consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of economic activity. “With such a slow re-

bound, unemployment could well stay high for several years to come,” Yellen said. “In other words, our recovery is likely to feel like something well short of good times.” Yellen envisions the shape of the recovery kind of like an “L’’ with a gradual upward tilt of the base. Lockhart said “very slow net job gains” may occur “sometime next year.” Troubles in the commercial real estate market and

the plight of small businesses also will weigh on the recovery, they said. Small businesses – which held up reasonably well in the 2001 recession – have been clobbered by the downturn, accounting for about 45 percent of net job losses through the end of 2008, Lockhart said. During the last two economic recoveries, small businesses contributed about one-third of net job growth. Lockhart said he doubted that would be the case this time.

Dodd circulates financial overhaul bill WASHINGTON (AP) – Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd on Tuesday called for sweeping new government powers to prevent another economic collapse, protect consumers and dismantle failing institutions.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Unemployment likely will remain high for the next several years because the economic recovery won’t be strong enough to spur robust hiring, Federal Reserve officials warned Tuesday. The cautionary note struck by the presidents of regional Fed banks in San Francisco and Atlanta were the first public remarks of Fed officials since the government reported last week that the nation’s jobless rate bolted to 10.2 percent in

job to a single agency. The bill also would take away the Fed’s ability to monitor credit cards and mortgages and establish a new “Consumer Financial Protection Agency.” The bill, inspired by last year’s financial meltdown, will minimize “economic turmoil and protect(ing) the interest of taxpayers,” the Connecticut Democrat wrote. An advance copy of the

legislation was obtained by The Associated Press. President Barack Obama has demanded that Congress rewrite the federal regulations governing Wall Street to close legal loopholes and prevent the kind of fraud and abuse that fed the crisis. Dodd’s proposal was expected to gain broad support among Democrats, but Republicans haven’t signed on.

Among the top points of contention is Dodd’s desire to create a new agency to protect consumers taking out home loans or using credit cards against predatory lending and surprise interest rate hikes. Republicans counter that creating another bureaucracy will make business harder for banks and limit the availability of credit.

Sprint Nextel will cut up to 2,500 more jobs KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Saying the company can’t cut costs fast enough to offset revenue declines, Sprint Nextel chief executive Dan Hesse announced plans to eliminate 2,000 to 2,500 jobs nationwide. Most of the job cuts – expected to save about $350 million in labor costs – will take place by Dec. 31, Hesse said in a memo sent Monday to employees. It will be the second mass layoff from the company this year.

Oil prices fall as Ida fades NEW YORK – Oil prices fell Tuesday as workers headed back to deep sea platforms that were bypassed by a rapidly weakening storm in the Gulf of Mexico. Ida, once a Category 1 hurricane, was downgraded to a tropical storm Monday and then lost even that status Tuesday as its winds lost their punch. Producers like Royal Dutch Shell and Anadarko reported no damage to facilities and said flights to platforms and rigs in the Gulf would begin Tuesday. Benchmark crude for December delivery fell 9 cents $79.34 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

GM appoints exec to head Opel RUESSELSHEIM, Germany – General Motors Co. said Tuesday that a senior executive who now runs its international divisions will take over responsibility for the European Opel and Vauxhall units while the company searches for a permanent chief executive. Nick Reilly, GM’s Shanghai-based president of international operations, once ran Vauxhall in the United Kingdom and has extensive knowledge of Opel’s operations, company officials said.

Waves crash against homes in Destin, Fla., on Tuesday as Tropical Storm Ida passes through.

Ida weakens to a depression, soaks Southeast region PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) – Tropical Storm Ida sloshed ashore with rain and gusty winds Tuesday before weakening to a depression, causing little damage along the Gulf Coast but bringing more rain to the already-soaked Southeast. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Ida’s center first touched land on Dauphin Island, Ala., before heading across Mobile Bay toward the Alabama mainland and on to Florida. Top winds dropped to near 35 mph as Ida weakened. Forecasters said it would likely be absorbed by a front today. The scene it left behind delighted tourists and residents strolling on Pensacola Beach in the Florida Panhandle on Tuesday afternoon. “It is beautiful, spectacu-

Where’s the beef? In land of cowboys, the pig thrives BY TED ANTHONY AP NATIONAL WRITER

he president of the National Pork Producers Council – the person who represents the people who represent the nation’s pigs – appeared recently before Congress to talk about sales in the swine flu era. He wasn’t happy. “Things look bleak going forward,” Don Butler told America’s lawmakers. Around the same time, the following events transpired: • The usually beef-and-beany Taco Bell erected signs at the mouth of its drive-thru lanes, exhorting motorists around the republic: “TOP IT OFF WITH BACON.” • Uncle Jack’s, one of New York City’s signature steakhouses, put out its sidewalk chalkboard of dinner specials. Getting top billing at the beef emporium, for $24.95, was not sirloin, not rib-eye, not filet mignon, but slow-roasted Berkshire pork shank. • The brewmaster of Brooklyn Brewery, using an intricate process, crafted 25 experimental cases of – wait for it – bacon ale. In this season of approaching winter holidays and abrupt spikes in ham consumption, this much is worth noting: In the land of the cowboy, the country where beef is held up as the meat that defines the American character, the pig in all its succulent, edible incarnations seems to be everywhere. “As an interest in food, its origins and its preparation spreads around America, it makes sense that the American palate is widening past just burgers and steaks,” says Sasha Wizansky, the co-editor of Meatpaper, a magazine about meat culture in America. “Practically every scrap of a pig can be transformed into something tasty,” she says, “and you can find a treasure trove of pork-centric dishes and cured products from around the world.” (Meatpaper’s first themed issue, earlier this year, focused on the hog.) It’s not as if the pig suddenly arrived on the American scene. From the earliest settlements in Virginia, it’s one of the oldest domesticated creatures to make its way down American gullets. But somewhere along the line, pork was cast as an also-ran, below burgers and chicken in the culinary taxonomy. Sure, ham and ribs and Southern barbecue were continuous staples for the American stomach. But for years, many Americans rarely ventured beyond the Shake ’N Bake pork chop and its workaday suburban brethren. Even pork’s longtime slogan, “The Other White Meat,” suggested a status akin to how Avis approaches Hertz. Then, of course, there’s bacon. From Wendy’s Baconator sandwich to bacon-scented air fresheners and even bacon-flavored mints, the cured and smoked Porkbellicus Americanus has become something of a fetish object for carnivores and lipid lovers. It has reached the point where the words “chocolate-covered bacon” have become, for many, something appetizing. You can buy “Baconnaise,” a condiment that has earned the goodnatured scorn of Jon Stewart, and its companion product, Bacon Salt, which has been shipped to baconcraving American troops serving in pork-free regions. You can even join the Bacon of the Month Club, perhaps the only subscription-based pork products service in the land. Or perhaps not.

Gordon Ramsay’s Pork Tenderloin Stroganoff uses thin slices of the tenderloin that is pan-fried, combined with cooked veggies and then gets a splash of brandy.

Pork Tenderloin Stroganoff 1 pound pork tenderloin Salt and ground black pepper, to taste 1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika, plus an extra pinch 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided 1 yellow onion, finely sliced 2 cloves garlic, finely sliced 7 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced (about 3 cups) Splash of brandy 1 ⁄2 cup sour cream or heavy cream Squeeze of lemon juice Handful of flesh flat-leaf parsley, leaves chopped

Trim off any fat or sinew from the pork tenderloin, then thinly slice it. Season with salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon of paprika. In a large skillet over medium, heat half of the olive oil until hot. Add the onion and saute until soft and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and mushrooms and increase the heat slightly. Fry until the mushrooms are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Tip the contents of the pan onto a plate and set aside. Add the remaining oil to the pan and fry the pork over high

until golden brown, 11⁄2 to 2 minutes. Return the onions, garlic and mushrooms to the pan. Add a splash of brandy and let it boil, or flambe, until almost all reduced. Stir in the cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Adjust the seasonings, then add a squeeze of lemon juice. Throw in the chopped parsley and remove the pan from the heat. Serve immediately, sprinkled with a pinch of paprika. Recipe from Gordon Ramsay’s “Cooking for Friends,” William Morrow, 2009

A partnership designed to streamline access to long-term services and support for people aging or living with disabilities has been established by Guilford County Department of Social Services Division of Aging and Adult Services, Joy A. Shabazz Center for Independent Living and Senior Resources of Guilford. The group, Piedmont Triad Community Resource Connections for Aging and Disabilities, is a network of providers through which consumers have access to information about and can obtain assistance with accessing options for long-term services and supports in North Carolina. Options include help with determining which Medicare D plan best fits a consumer’s needs, how to apply for public benefits, how to access community-based services such as Mobile Meals, long-term futures planning and possible employment options. The goal of the project is to develop formal links between local service providers and older adults and their caregivers and adults with disabilities. Collaborating agencies may share appropriate information about clients in order to facilitate the consumers’ access to programs or services and so clients will not have to tell and re-tell their story or give information multiple times in order to obtain services. More information is online at www.aoa.gov, www.cms.hhs. gov/NewFree domInitiative or http://ncdhhs. gov/olts/what/ac cess_adrc.htm. People also may call Lorrie Z.

ANSWER: You had a super-maximum for your single raise to two hearts. If your king of hearts were the ace, you might have bid three hearts. Partner’s 2NT is a try for game that you must surely accept.
