on the sales floor. There are a wide array of opportunities in back-office positions, including shipping, receiving, warehousing, accounting, information technology and security.

TRIAD – Usually by this time of year, job service specialist Charles Diggs and his colleagues would be wrapping up their holiday season task of connecting people seeking seasonal work with employers listing jobs. This year, Diggs only can wish that his office was so busy with that HIRING FOR THE task. The recession HOLIDAYS that has stunted nearly every 2009 seasonal aspect of the naemployment tional and local forecast economy has ■■■

Shipping: As consumers boost spending, major shippers such as UPS and FedEx typically bulk up their processing and delivery staff, but job seekers can also look to shipping offices. Catering: The holiday season is a heavy period for corporate and private events, even in a down economy, and caterers will need to increase serving and food prepping staff.

Restaurants: As consumers hit the streets for holiday shopping or families plan pre-holiday get-togethers, restaurants will need attendants, cooks, bartenders and serving staff.

Entertainment Venues: Movie theaters will see heavier traffic among young people on winter break, but job seekers can also look for holiday positions at performing arts theaters.

taken its toll on the holiday season job market. In better times, employers such as retailers, caterers and delivery companies seek extra workers to handle the Christmastime rush. But local job service officials say

AT A GLANCE

----

The national employment consulting company Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. offers this advice to holiday job seekers: • Become a fill-in: Some retailers put many of their full-time back-office people on the sales floor during the holiday season. That means temporary help will be needed to ensure that back-office work continues. You also can get a foot in the door by offering to start working now as an on-call fill-in for vacationing staffers. • Befriend store manager, staff: You can get a head start by frequently visiting the stores where you might like to work. Befriend employees, particularly the managers. Your enthusiasm about shopping there will pay off later when you mention that you are looking for holiday work.

• Offer to be a floater: Chain stores with several locations in your area may be interested in using you as a substitute for employees who call in sick or are on vacation. Let the hiring manager know up front that you are willing to be wherever the store needs you on any given day. • Promote computer skills: More and more stores are changing from traditional cash registers to computer-based systems that allow stores to manage inventory more efficiently. • Be available to work after the holidays: While stores need extra help during busy seasons, many would still prefer to hire someone who plans to stay longer. So by letting the employer know that you would like to remain after the holiday season, you are sending a message that you are committed and not just there for the discounts.

the sluggish economy, even if technically in a recovery mode, isn’t providing many opportunities for seasonal hiring this year. As of early November, few High Point area employers had posted seasonal jobs, said Diggs, assistant manager of the High Point office of the N.C. Employment Security Commission. “Usually the interest starts in September and early October,” he said. As of early November, the Randolph County ESC office had posted one seasonal job listing, said Assistant Manager Sheila Barnes. “To be honest, the outlook is probably not that bright,” she said. The Davidson County ESC office hadn’t received any requests for seasonal help as of early November, said Assistant Manager Karen Michael. “I’m hopeful that we possibly still will,” Michael said. The national employment consulting company Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. indicates that seasonal jobs might edge up compared to last year, during the financial meltdown, but it won’t be robust job growth. “Holiday hiring might improve slightly over last year, but only because 2008 saw the lowest seasonal employment growth in nearly

GUILFORD COUNTY – Gangs are not bringing as much violence to schools as once thought because intervention programs may be working, school officials say. A school safety committee found that reports of gang activity were well below other rule-breaking offenses, such as verbal abuse and theft. The number of violations involving gang-related activity fell slightly to 73 violations last year from 75 during the 2007-08 school year. The majority of gang-related violations reported were limited to the wearing of gang-associated clothing and showing gang signs, said Tony Scales, the school system’s safety administrator. Scales recently made a presentation to the Guilford County Board of Education. Reportable crimes were down about 15 percent in 2008-09, according to earlier released state figures. The most common violations – possession of a controlled substance and possession of a weapon – declined by 14 percent and 15 percent, respectively. “We are talking mostly about possession of marijuana as the drug (offense) and knives as the weapons,” Scales said. The total of 545 offenses was down from the alltime high of 638 in 2007-08 but still ahead of the 482 reported in 2006-07. Only 17 of the district’s reportable crimes last year fell into the state’s dangerous and violent category. “Things have changed a lot,” said board member Deena Hayes, who led a group that reviewed the statistics. Police have reported that at least 20 gangs exist in High Point. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Suspensions: Short-term suspensions lasting up to 10 days decreased slightly last year by less than 1 percent, while long-term suspensions of more than 10 days for more serious offenses declined 59 percent from 2007-08. Offenses: Grimsley High School led the latest crime report with 39 reportable crimes. Next was Page High School with 36 and High Point Central High School with 34. The Academy at High Point Central had no reportable incidents for the year. Northern Guilford High School had the lowest number of reportable offenses with seven.

Guilford to consider LabCorp plan MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

BURLINGTON – A Guilford County commissioner says he will wait to hear what LabCorp officials say they’ll bring to the county before he decides whether he will back the company’s request for a tax-incentive package. Burlington-based LabCorp will make a formal bid to Guilford County commissioners on Thursday for $373,000 to add 373 jobs there in a $3 million investment over three years, Commissioner Kirk Perkins confirmed. The information will be shared in a public hearing at the board’s 5:30 p.m. meeting.

Perkins lives in McLeansville and represents portions of eastern Guilford County. “I’ve voted for some incentives and I haven’t voted for others,” Perkins said. “Typically, I look at the wages and benefits the company is offering, and the location. I try to weigh the whole package.” “LabCorp is a great company,” he added. LabCorp officials did not return phone calls requesting information about the possibility of locating some operations in Guilford County, what type of jobs those would be or whether they will move current Alamance County employees to operations there. LabCorp, with cor-

porate headquarters in downtown Burlington, is Alamance County’s largest employer. Perkins wasn’t sure, but thought the move would involve some accounting, billing and business-end employees. He hadn’t heard the possible location yet, either, but thinks it would make sense for the company to take advantage of larger office spaces in eastern Guilford County -- close to its Burlington headquarters. Incentive packages are met by mixed feelings in the public. Some believe the tax breaks offered to large employers are worth it to lure more local jobs.

Wallace Rice OCEANSIDE, Calif. – Wallace Troy Rice, 84 years of age, passed quietly and gently, leaving to join his Maker and Savior, on November 9, 2009, in Oceanside, CA. He was born November 2, 1925, in High Point, North Carolina to Virgil Oliver Rice and Ollie Mae Sheffield. He was an avid reader, enjoyed travel and sightseeing, was rabid about NASCAR, and loved his family immensely. He joined the United States Navy in 1944, and retired in December 1971 as an Aviation Storekeeper Chief. He met the love of his life, Lois Francis Abbott, in Highpoint where they were married January 17, 1946. Wallace and Lois became born again Christians July 13, 1958. They began part time ministry almost immediately escalating to full time at the conclusion of his military career in 1971. The couple led churches in Keflavik, Iceland and Texas as well as four separate churches in San Diego County. Other ministry efforts included marriage enrichment classes throughout California in addition to various bible studies with a variety of age groups. Wallace is survived by his wife, Lois, of Oceanside, CA, sisters Shirley Wetzel of Herford, AZ, Beverly Thorsgood of Gresham, OR, and brother David Rice, of Mexico City, Mexico. Wallace is preceded in death by a brother, Virgil Oliver Rice, Jr. Wallace is also survived by son Wallace T, Rice, Jr. and his spouse, Linda Renae Reifschneider of Riverside, CA and grandchildren Wallace T. Rice III of Los Angeles, CA, Nicholas Ryan Rice of Buckeye, AZ and Kathryn Marie Rice of Glendale, AZ.

ey order was to cover fines of 2 cents per day for each book. That would total about $745. The letter says the extra money was added in case the rates had changed. Bordine says the money will buy more books, and the overdue books will be returned to the shelves.

School irked by slavery role play at N.C. plantation CHARLOTTE (AP) – Officials at a North Carolina school say their students will never again visit a living history plantation after a black tour guide picked three black students to help re-enact slave life. The Charlotte Observer reports that when Rea View Elementary fifth-graders from Waxhaw traveled to Latta Plantation last week, a veteran presenter at the historic cotton plantation called up three student helpers as he talked about the work slaves did in the fields. The three were the group’s only black students, said Union County school spokeswoman Luann Ingram. “We just thought that was terribly inappropriate,” she said. “I don’t think any ill will was intended at all. It was just a bad decision for him to have made. It was an uncomfortable situation for our children and our staff.” About 60 were listening to

Ian Campbell speak about the Civil War and slavery at the centuries-old plantation in Huntersville. As he mentioned the different kinds of work slaves did, he called up the three students. He had one girl hold a burlap bag on her shoulder but did not ask her or the other two to simulate cotton picking, said Latta’s executive director, Kristin Toler. Toler said he meant no harm, and for all future tours, guides will ask for volunteers. She said she didn’t know anyone was upset until an angry parent called the next day. “If the girls that were picked to come up felt uncomfortable, of course we feel terrible,” she said. Toler said Campbell, who continues to lead presentations, is one of the site’s most popular guides. Campbell agreed with Toler’s account, and said people have spread lies about what the students were asked to do.

Two of Iran’s top proreform figures said po-

Palin’s memoir triggers other books NEW YORK (AP) – Sarah Palin may fashion herself as a go-it-alone maverick, but her book is producing a crowd. By the time the former governor’s memoir – “Going Rogue: An American Life” – officially hits book stores on Tuesday – there’ll be a legion of titles waiting to cash in, from unauthorized biographies to critical essays to a tongue-in-cheek coloring book. That doesn’t even include the picture book “Terminatrix: The Sarah Palin Chronicles” – which superimposes her head on paintings and famous photos – and a boomlet of self-published books, including one that weirdly takes Henrik Ibsen’s play “Hedda Gabler” and merely substitutes Gabler for Palin and George Tesman for Todd Palin. This much is clear: Pal-

Jon Gosselin sues TLC, cites child labor laws WASHINGTON (AP) – Jon Gosselin has filed a counter lawsuit against the TLC network, claiming television producers violated Pennsylvania’s child labor laws in filming the hit reality show “Jon & Kate Plus 8” and are preventing him from working. The suit seeking more than $5 million in damages was filed Thursday in Maryland’s Montgomery County Circuit Court in response to a network lawsuit alleging Gosselin failed to meet his obligations as an employee.

Gosselin’s attorney Mark Jay Heller said the network had the family sign a comGosselin plicated deal in 2005 without the advice of a lawyer. “I do not believe we were paid a fair amount for the overreaching and overly restrictive contract – my family was initially paid $2,000 per episode for all ten members of my family and the use of my family home for filming,” Gosselin wrote

in a court filing. He went on to say the family accepted the deal because they were “in desperate need of revenue to meet the needs of our eight children.” Heller said the network also failed to obtain child work permits that would spell out what hours the children would work and how they would be paid. An anonymous complaint to Pennsylvania authorities over a clip that showed TV producers refusing water to one of the children prompted an ongoing investigation.

Mourners grieve for soldiers killed at Fort Hood KIEL, Wis. (AP) – The hundreds of people who lined the main street of a small Indiana city Saturday fell solemnly silent as a white hearse passed by on its way to the church. Mourners streamed into a Wisconsin gymnasium to remember a soldier who once promised to take down Osama bin Laden. Across the country, many stood before several flag-draped coffins during funeral services for several of the 13 victims of the Nov. 5 shootings in Fort Hood, Texas. In Plymouth, Ind., Sheila Ellabarger had placed two foot-high American flags in the grass where she watched the procession for Army Staff Sgt. Justin DeCrow. She said her children went to school with

DeCrow and his wife – his high school sweetheart – and she knew other members of his family. “He was killed by a terrorist in my mind but he was still killed in the line of duty. We owe him a debt of gratitude, him and his family and the other soldiers. We owe them our lives, our freedom,” Ellabarger said.

New study says costs rise under health bill

Ida remnants Tidal waters flood an area of Woodcleft canal in Freeport, N.Y., during the high tide Saturday morning as remnants of Tropical Storm Ida exited the region.

Government: Medicare paid $47B in suspect claims WASHINGTON (AP) – The government paid more than $47 billion in questionable Medicare claims including medical treatment showing little relation to a patient’s condition, wasting taxpayer dollars at a rate nearly three times the previous year. Excerpts of a new federal report show a dramatic increase in improper payments in the $440 billion Medicare program that has been cited by govern-

ment auditors as a high risk for fraud and waste for 20 years. It’s not clear whether Medicare fraud is actually worsening. Much of the increase is attributed to a change in the Health and Human Services Department’s methodology that imposes stricter documentation requirements – part of a data-collection effort being ordered by President Barack Obama next week to promote “honest budgeting.”

WASHINGTON (AP) – Overall spending on health care would rise as a result of legislation approved a week ago by the House, and billions of dollars in projected savings contained in the measure will be difficult to maintain, according to a report by a top official at the agency that oversees Medicare. The legislation would expand insurance coverage to an estimated 32 million people who now lack it, according to the report, creating a demand for services that “could be difficult to meet initially ... and could lead to price-increases, cost-shifting and/

or changes in providers’ willingness to treat patients with low-reimbursement health coverage.” The analysis was issued by Richard Foster, the chief actuary at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. The study was conducted at the request of House Republicans, who quickly tried to turn it against the Obama administration. Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, the House GOP leader, issued a statement saying the study “confirms that this bill violates President Obama’s promise to ‘bend the cost curve.’ It’s now beyond dispute that their bill will raise costs.”

Dream home takes shape ‘Extreme Home Makeover’ project draws onlookers

Thomasville Lion Lori Clark, formerly with Lexington Downtown Lions, was named Lion of the Year. Clark is the 71st Thomasville Lion to earn the most prestigious honor presented by the Thomasville Club. She earned the honor by working to provide humanitarian service to the community.

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

LEXINGTON – Sunshine came just in time for crews and volunteers building a home Saturday in Lexington as part of ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” TV show. On Wednesday, Ty Pennington, the show’s host, shared the news with the Creasey family that they soon would get the home of their dreams. Despite being plagued by rain, crews immediately went to work, demolishing the family’s old home and working on building a new one. With hundreds of people being shuttled in Saturday to see the construction, the roof was already on the home, and the inside walls were going up. Robin Bivens, director of the Lexington Tourism Authority who is handling public relations for general contractor Hedrick Creative Building LLC, said Saturday, which was day four of the show, that the weather had caused crews and volunteers to be three hours behind schedule despite working 24 hours a day, seven days week. However, crews and volunteers are expected to be completed with the home by the time the Creasey family returns Tuesday from Walt Disney World, according to Bivens. “They all know they are working for that deadline and the time for the Creasey family to come

As construction has progressed, the “Extreme Home Makeover” site in Lexington has become quite an attraction. A shuttle to the site has been set up to carry people who want to watch the Creasey family’s new home take shape. home,” Bivens said. “Everybody is so eager to make sure we hit that target.” Volunteers such as Eric Huff of Indianapolis and C.J. Sink of Lexington have been working long hours to help build the home for the Creasey family. “The small group I’m working with, we are getting it done actually,” Huff said. “We thought we were going to be behind earlier (Saturday), but now that the sun has come out, things are running smoother.” “We are blessed for a

sunny day,” said Sink, owner of Sink Farm Equipment in Lexington. “I think the rain on the front end kind of slowed us down, but it didn’t hurt our spirits.” The Creasey family – William and Tricia and their three children, Brittany, 12, and Makenzie and Makayla, both 5 – have been through quite an ordeal. While her husband William struggles to keep their home livable for their family, Tricia is a Brown Middle School seventh-grade teacher who is battling stage 4 colon

Agency says coat donations needed ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

TRIAD – The current economic hardships have increased demand for assistance with necessities like food and clothing, and one area program is answering the call. But it still needs help.

‘We’re down to bare bones, and we have a great need for children’s coats.’ Capt. Tony Perez The Salvation Army of High Point The Give A Kid A Coat program has collected 9,879 coats during the first two weeks of the 2009 campaign, about 15 percent higher than week two in 2008. Capt. Tony Perez with The Salvation Army of High Point said the nonprofit organization gave out about 90 percent of what it had in

stock during the first week of distribution. “Folks that come in here are so thankful and appreciative,” Perez said. “But we’ve given almost everything out. We’re down to bare bones, and we have a great need for children’s coats.” To make a donation, drop off any outgrown coats or coats no longer being worn to any A Cleaner World location. The business will clean and repair the coats and give them to The Salvation Army to distribute. To receive coats, parents only need to verify the number of children in their family and provide basic name and address information. Distribution already has begun, and distribution times and locations vary by city. Contact your local Salvation Army for more information. The Give A Kid A Coat campaign is sponsored by Fox 8-WGHP, radio station 1075-KZL and The Salvation Army. This year’s campaign ends Nov. 28. To contact The Salvation Army of High Point, call (336) 881-5400.

cancer. She was diagnosed three years ago but refused to stop teaching while undergoing the chemotherapy and major surgery her treatment required. This past May, her cancer returned, spreading to her lymph nodes. Hoping to prevent the cancer from spreading any further, she receives chemo treatments that cost the family $1,400 a month after insurance. Purchasing their home on Allred Road in Lexington as a fixer-upper, necessary repairs and renovations have been put on

the backburner because of Tricia’s medical care. The home had numerous structural problems, including holes in the floor, lack of insulation and a leaking roof. “I can’t wait for them to come home,” said Lynn Kyles, who lives directly across the street from the Creasey family. “William is absolutely going to be thrilled. He is not going to believe it. When you leave a home that was built in the 1930s, and you come back to this – wow.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Phoenix Methodist church can’t offer meals to homeless PHOENIX (AP) – The kitchen is closed at a north Phoenix church that fed the homeless. CrossRoads United Methodist Church lost an appeal of a city ordinance banning charity dining halls in residential neighborhoods. The hearing officer, re-

tired Arizona Supreme Court Justice Robert Corcoran, ruled Monday that feeding the homeless at a place of worship can be banned by city ordinance. The decision affects all Phoenix churches with underlying residential zoning and is effective immediately.

LEONARD PITTS: We’re struggling through the gray areas of life. TOMORROW

Opinion Page Editor: Vince Wheeler vwheeler@hpe.com (336) 888-3517

Support builds in Davidson County for Hege What’s with Sen. Stan Bingham? I watched the interview with former Sheriff Hege on News 2. Hege admitted his mistakes and quickly pointed out, though he could talk all night about his good and bad deeds, he was just asking for another chance at a job he loved and, by most accounts, was the best there ever was in Davidson County. Hege has to be taken, as he himself once stated, warts and all. I have read over 300 articles on the legendary sheriff, and not one of them could find anything wrong with his results. He put his life on the line in Vietnam. He put his life on the line hundreds of times in Davidson County. Remember, this big guy did not sit behind a desk nor was he 50 pounds overweight. Bingham kept ranting about the 27 or so affidavits. He did not want to talk about the fact they were the reason the 13 charges were thrown out. Regardless, one or all of the attorney generals did not believe them. Bingham could not even get his fellow senators to go along with him when he tried, if you can believe it, to change the Constitution of North Carolina just to try and stop his friend and neighbor, the present sheriff, from having to face Hege in a May primary. This ploy only fired up the Davidson County voters and resulted in over 2,000 yard signs being placed in yards by voter request. Don’t take my word for it, fuel up

Downtown ventures show D potential t’s called The Aquarius Music Hall. And it just may be the dawning of a new age for after-hours entertainment in High Point’s downtown market area. Many folks are hoping that’s so. Gabriele Natale, owner of the former Natale showroom building at 400 English Road, has renovated the building’s 25,000-square-foot first floor into a live music venue and is bringing local and national headline bands here for initial performances Nov. 27-28. But there’s more to the story. In addition to bringing national and local musical entertainment to The Aquarius Music Hall several times a year, Natale envisions the building also housing restaurants and a bar – “and next thing you know, you have an entertainment complex in town.” Thomas F. Canoy of High Point, who is working with Natale in booking entertainment and preparing the venue for musical performances, sees the potential for attracting people to downtown for good music throughout the year and also for entertaining market guests when the High Point Market is in session twice a year. Both men and others working with them behind the scenes are to be commended for their vision and for undertaking this sort of venture – which is an investment of private resources. And residents of the greater High Point area should give it the support it needs through their patronage. The Aquarius Music Hall and the entertainment complex that Natale sees are the types of businesses that have been needed in the downtown area for years. Couple these plans with ideas for entertainment and leisure-time events that the High Point Area Arts Council has for Arts on Main, such as the Salsa Social and the Jazz Club that were held there last month, and existing events that are continuing downtown, such as Shakespeare Festival and Community Theatre performances, and the reasons for people to visit downtown begin to grow. And the next thing you know, you have downtown revitalization.

CRUMP High Point

uring my teenage years, I recall my mother working bits of advice into conversations at the dinner table. Families tended to eat the evening meal together more in those days. Among those nuggets was the admonition not to talk politics or religion when visiting someone else’s house or when “company” came to our house for dinner or some other type of gathering. She spoke from experience. Her mother’s family had come to this country from Ireland; her father’s family had come from Scotland. When members of the two families got together for Thanksgiving during my mother’s teenage years, someone always tossed religion and/or politics into the afterdinner conversation and heated, sometimes vicious arguments would send most of the folks scurrying for the door, some vowing not to return the next Thanksgiving. The Lawsons, her father’s family, were staunch Presbyterians while the Downings, her mother’s family, were split between Protestant and Catholic and, in those days in that setting, when politics was added to the mix, it sometimes was “Katy, bar the door.” Today, I’m going to ignore at least a portion of my mother’s advice, and talk politics. I’ll start with some quotes from an article written by Jim Pumarlo, author of “Votes and Quotes: A Guide to Outstanding Election Coverage” and “Bad News and Good Judgment: A Guide to Reporting on Sensitive Issues in a Small-Town Newspaper.” Pumarlo declares “newspapers are a primary source for in-depth information about candidates, especially their positions on a variety of issues” and that “the exchange of ideas (through letters to the editor) remains the lifeblood of editorial pages and the heart of newspapers.” Writing about editorial endorsements, Pumarlo says “newspapers have a responsibility, even an obligation, to weigh in on those individuals who they believe will best represent the interests of their communities. Editors and reporters usually have a distinctive insight on candidates.” He sees newspaper Web sites as a vital element of election coverage and warns editors and reporters constantly to strive for consistency and balance. Over the last dozen years or so, The High Point Enterprise news staff has attempted to improve its pre-election coverage. One step taken in the late 1990s – when we had a much larger reporting staff – was for reporters to visit with diverse focus groups across

the city, finding out what the priority issues were rather than continuing to let those running for office define the issues (which they tried to do to put a spotlight on their strengths and hide their weaknesses). Pre-election OPINION coverage from 1999 through 2004 was primarily of the he Tom said/she said stripe, howevBlount er, with reporters interview■■■ ing all the candidates – if the candidates would cooperate – in any particular race and allow them to make brief points and counterpoints. The results of those interviews simply were too manipulative to help readers much. In 2005, with guidance from Paul B. Johnson, the Enterprise’s political reporter, and a couple of other staff members, the Enterprise began using a different, more useful yet simple format: 1. Present fairly in-depth biographical information about the candidate, without belaboring the point. 2. Ask each candidate in a particular race the same three or four questions, with candidates required to answer with 100 or fewer words. For Thomasville City Council this year, as examples, we asked, “Do you support or object to the referendum issue to shift from two-to-four-year municipal government terms and why?” “What role, if any, should Thomasville play in the effort to reform the way that involuntary annexation is handled in North Carolina?” And, “What can the city do to help Davidson County cope with high unemployment?” Local newspapers are the only place citizens can find such coverage because most candidates for local (especially smaller city) elections don’t have the funds to advertise on television or even radio, although several of them have found they can afford to advertise in the local newspaper. And the local newspaper is the only medium putting questions on issues of importance to all the candidates and letting the readers decide for whom to vote, especially now that public forums aren’t as popular, aren’t as well attended (by the public) and aren’t as attractive (to many candidates). That’s just one of the roles local newspapers play in providing information and service to readers that they simply can’t get anywhere else.

COMMENTARY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2009 www.hpe.com 7B

Audit N.C., Charlotte must keep Bank of America faults F Golden LEAF From Rocky Mount Telegram, Nov. 3

f the purpose of an audit is to identify institutional weaknesses and to suggest improvements, the Golden LEAF Foundation was handed a fairly lengthy to-do list recently. At the core of the scolding report released by N.C. Auditor Beth Wood is a question of whether Golden LEAF and the state are doing enough to make sure federal tobacco settlement money is being used effectively and free of political influence. The unfavorable audit comes as the foundation prepares to celebrate 10 years since the N.C. General Assembly chartered Golden LEAF, based in Rocky Mount, to manage half of North Carolina’s share of the federal settlement with cigarette companies. The foundation since then has awarded more than $393 million in grants, which are intended to boost economies in rural communities traditionally dependent on the tobacco industry. Golden LEAF President Dan Gerlach says the foundation takes great measures to hold its grantees accountable and to ensure investments are free of political influence. He also said the foundation is willing to do more. That’s good. Because although conservative lawmakers and other opponents of Golden LEAF would have you believe this audit is a mandate for the N.C. General Assembly to dismantle the foundation, the report serves better as a playbook for making the foundation work better. Some say the foundation, with a board appointed by the governor and legislative leaders, is too political in nature. But handing $70 million a year back over to lawmakers in Raleigh, given their recent track record, hardly seems like a step toward accountability.

or years Charlotte and North Carolina boasted that two of the top four banks in the country were headquartered here. Coupled with other strong regional and community banks, this state was a major financial center. Losing Wachovia’s corporate headquarters took some luster from that claim, but it appears we are in danger of losing the corporate headquarters of Bank of America; that loss could be devastating. Consider the evidence. According to Bloomberg News the investment banking and wealth-management businesses make up one-half of all Bank of America revenues and are already headquartered in New York. Home loans and insurance account for 14 percent of revenues and are headquartered in California. Consumer banking amounts to 11 percent of revenues and is quartered in Boston, and the credit card division, which earns 23 percent of revenues, is based in Wilmington, Del. Ninety-eight percent of Bank of America’s revenue comes from units already headquartered outside Charlotte.

BofA is a troubled bank. The makeup of the board of directors has changed dramatically; nine members have resigned over the MY SPIN past two years, with only one Tom member currently Campbell residing in North ■■■ Carolina. CEO Ken Lewis resigned under pressure and the search for a new chief executive officer is under way. Several prospects reportedly have turned down the job, presumably because they do not want to live in Charlotte. We think that only part of the reason. Previous management decisions, a vocal and active government presence in current decision-making, the sluggish health of our economy, new restrictions on executive compensation and the difficulty in managing this large and somewhat dysfunctional bank make this a daunting challenge to a new CEO. Much is at stake in this decision. The search committee need not

complicate their task. Nothing would restore stockholder confidence, market confidence, and employee confidence more than pleading with former Chairman Hugh McColl and former CFO Jim Hance to return to lead the bank. These two, along with many others, built this bank into a financial power. If they would come back, even if only for a year or two, they could right the ship, pay back the TARP funds and put Bank of America back on a sound course. McColl and Hance likely would insist that Charlotte continue to be headquarters. Bank of America employs 15,000 in Charlotte, a highly significant contribution to the economy. A larger contribution is the role that senior executives and the bank played in guiding community organizations, making financial contributions to charities, paying taxes and contributing to the overall economy. The bank’s fortunes and that of the community were hitched together. In all likelihood, many jobs would remain if BofA moved corporate headquarters to New York but they would

never have the same impact on the community or even on our state. More devastating would be the damage to morale. Banking helped build this city and this state, playing a large role in creating a positive and progressive attitude. Coupled with the effects of a bad economy and growing evidence of government corruption, the loss of Bank of America would be a setback hard to overcome. Decisions are being made at this moment that could determine the future for this bank and for where it will be headquartered. We call on Gov. Perdue, our congressional delegation, stockholders, employees, customers and every citizen to use every influence to keep Bank of America’s headquarters in Charlotte. This rescue effort is worthy of our best.

Market movement Where are stock prices, economy headed over the next few months? BY MARK W. HENDRICKSON

t is usually the stock market that psyches us out, not the other way around. There’s something about stocks that turns us upside down. For example, normally when something goes on sale, we tend to buy more of it; yet, when stock prices fall, many investors want to buy less. This reminds me of Baron Rothschild’s advice to “buy when there is blood in the streets.” Those who heeded that advice last winter and bought stocks on sale during the depths of the selling panic are sitting on some handsome profits now. Had I been an astute investor, I would have loaded up on stocks at fire-sale prices. I remember wondering whether I should increase my modest holdings of a stock that had crashed to multi-year lows, but I didn’t pull the trigger. That stock has risen seven-fold since then. Oh well, at least I didn’t sell it. The purpose in telling you this is to demonstrate that I am not a stock-market wiz. As an economist, though, people inevitably ask me to predict the stock market. They shouldn’t. In the first place, my interest is in public policy and how to preserve our freedoms. In the second place, even those who devote their full time to studying markets are frequently humbled when the market confounds their expectations. The reason is simple: individual stocks and market indexes will rise if more people want to buy them than sell them, and fall if more people want to sell. Question: How can anyone know what millions of

other people will choose to do on any given day of the week or any year on the calendar? Now that I’ve made that disclaimer, here is how I responded to a request for a prediction in late spring when the Dow was at about 8,000: Greg Wheatley, the host of Moody Broadcasting’s “Prime Time America,” asked me during a radio interview to predict a range for the Dow by mid-2010. After reminding the listening audience that my prediction was worth what they were paying for it (i.e., zilch), I ventured a guestimate – a range of 11,000 on the upside and 5,000 on the downside. My sense was that the market was not done bouncing up from last winter’s lows. Recently, the Dow has been bouncing around the 10,000 level. It may or may not climb that last 1,000 points to 11,000. I would say it’s possible, on a momentum basis, but on the basis of economic fundamentals, the market seems closer to a top than to a bottom. It is important to remember, however, that the paper

economy of the stock market is a different animal from the real economy that I study. It is possible that the stock market will continue to trend higher without the benefit of an underlying strong economy. The largest component of our economy is consumer spending (although President Obama and his team seem determined to make government spending No. 1). This year, total hours worked and total income have fallen and savings have increased, so it’s hard to picture booming businesses sporting rising profits and stock prices. Furthermore, banks are not lending. For over five months now, bank lending has declined every week. Consumer, industrial, and real-estate loans have dropped a net $216 billion. That represents a 15 percent yearly rate of credit contraction. In the past, credit has always been expanding at the end of a recession. With these market conditions, where is economic robustness going to come from? As I’ve written before, Team

Obama is pursuing policies similar to those that FDR adopted during the Great Depression. Even though those policies prolonged the Depression, there were several major bull markets within the horrible bear market of the 1930s. If history repeats itself, it wouldn’t surprise me if we have a severe bear market by next summer. Dow 5,000 – my offthe-cuff guess of a few months ago – seems unlikely now with the market near 10,000, but I don’t think the stock market is out of the woods yet. Now, what could blow my “prediction” out of the water? In the first place, it can be foolhardy to bet against the resourcefulness and ingenuity of Americans. They always find ways to produce wealth, if the government lets them. Also, the Federal Reserve’s injections of massive amounts of “liquidity” (sorry, in plain English, “money”) into the financial system may drive stocks far higher. During Zimbabwe’s recent hyperinflation, Zimbabweans perceived stocks as an inflation hedge; consequently, many stock prices soared, even as hyperinflation devastated their real economy. Will the same thing happen here? I don’t know. The only thing I know for sure is that Mr. Market will do his thing independent of what economists and financial experts want, leaving a trail of human smiles and tears in his wake. Good luck, everyone. MARK W. HENDRICKSON, Ph.D., is an adjunct faculty member, economist, and contributing scholar with The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City (Pa.) College.

Move market, downtown revitalization forward together DOUG BRACKETT

any comments appear in the Enterprise which astound me. The latest, “the furniture market robbed us of our downtown” ranks right up there with “the meaning of is is.” I arrived in High Point late one night in mid-July 1959 from White Sands Missile Range, N.M., to enroll at High Point College. I spent that first night sleeping in my car in front of the Sheraton Hotel. High Point did, indeed, have a bustling downtown then and a substantial number of inhabitants were standing on the curb waiting to see if I had survived the night! During the intervening 50 years, many things have fostered the departure of commerce from downtown – urban renewal, city facilities (including parking decks, etc.), shifting consumer shopping habits, upgraded shopping facilities, outmoded business

models, economic conditions ... and the list could go on. Think of the potential eyesores which have been converted to meaningful uses! Simply put, the furniture market moved in as commerce moved out. Much to High Point’s benefit I might add. And, most of those departing businesses did not resurface anywhere else to my knowledge. Our downtown gets its face washed twice a year for furniture market while other downtowns fall further and further into disrepair. Now, why would any city which has benefitted so much from an enterprise want to do anything to prohibit its further use of properties which will be of little use to anyone else? Moreover, why would a city devalue ones’ enterprise and property in the hope that “perhaps” someone else will

make use of the area for some other more desirable purpose? Among High Point’s most vibrant activities are the furniture market and High Point University. Yet, the city seems to want to constrict their influence and expansion. Makes no sense whatsoever to me. Our prettiest buildings were built by these two entities. Our most usable facilities are tied to these two entities. The two best known faces of High Point belong to these entities, with apologies to some other well-known organizations and companies. It would be nice to return to those halcyon days of yesteryear when downtown was the center of commerce, shopping and socializing. It would be great to see Wright’s Clothing, Harllees, Tobias, Center Theatre, etc., in full flower again. In my opinion, that ship has sailed. Even if it were possible to turn back the clock, why make a sacrificial lamb of the furniture market?

High-rise office buildings and shopping and dining coexist in many cities. This seems analogous to the furniture market and downtown revitalization moving forward together. The furniture market provides High Point the approximate attendance equivalent of the Super Bowl twice a year, practically for free. Powerful forces have always been in play to take the market we so casually experience. Considering current circumstances, this is no time to be sending any negative signal to those companies who have the prerogative of exhibiting their wares anywhere they choose. Without them, High Point would be known as the city with the biggest pigeon roost in America. Let’s love ’em!

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

CHAPEL HILL – The UNC Board of Governors doesn’t usually begin talking about possible tuition increases until well after the Christmas holidays. But with the economy forcing more and more students to apply for needbased aid, tuition increases have already become a hot topic of conversation. “The demand for needbased aid has just skyrocketed,” said UNC system President Erskine Bowles during a news conference following the close of the board’s November meeting Friday. The increased need for tuition assistance among students attending the system’s 16 universities has led Bowles to ask state legislators to allow the UNC system to keep tuition revenue and earmark 50 percent of it for need-based financial aid. Going into discussions next year, Bowles said the system will likely start with $12 million less for need-based tuition than it had for the current academic year because of a one-time award from the state. “We’ll have less money to deal with next year for a greater demand,” Bowles said. Bowles said the next largest percentage of any tuition increase would go to improving graduation and retention rates. “We’ve got to do a better job of not just getting people in the door but making sure they are graduating and graduating with a diploma that means something, and that’s something nationwide that all university’s are working on,” Bowles said. In an effort to help balance the state budget, the General Assembly adopted a four-year tuition rate plan last year that included an across the board tuition increase by the lesser of $200 or 8 percent for the current school year.

Consumer beware

New rules don’t eliminate all overdraft fees MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WINSTON-SALEM – Getting tagged with some bank overdraft fees will become a voluntary act beginning July 1, 2010. The Federal Reserve said Thursday that financial institutions must have customers “opt in” to a protection plan before it can charge fees of up to $35 for an overdraft on an ATM and a one-time debitcard transaction. If consumers don’t request the protection, a

transaction exceeding the amount of money in an account would be denied. However, the rule does not apply to bounced checks and overdrafts caused by automatic-draft payments. The board said consumers want overdraft protection to ensure that large payments, such as mortgages, automobiles and utilities, are made on a timely basis. According to the Independent Community Bankers of America, financial institutions still can charge an overdraft

fee when a retailer’s hold on a debit-card transaction exceeds the transaction amount. “The final overdraft rules represent an important step forward in consumer protection,” said Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the Federal Reserve. “Both new and existing account holders will be able to make informed decisions about whether to sign up for an overdraft service.” Greg McBride, an analyst with Bankrate.com, said he expects a sharp decrease in participation in overdraft program. “Nobody in their right mind would volunteer to pay a $35 fee to have the extra money to pay for a hot dog

and a drink,” McBride said. Banks have justified charging overdraft fees because they say they work as a deterrent. They cite a 2008 report by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., which found that just 25 percent of consumers have one or more nonsufficientfund transactions each year. Banks also have pushed the use of debit cards as a convenience to consumers and an efficient way to handle transactions. But some consumer groups call overdraft fees the electronic equivalent of speed traps. According to a recent FDIC report, 81 percent of banks allow consumers to make

an electronic transaction without having enough money to cover it. “There’s been a longstanding misconception among many consumers that banks would deny a transaction requiring more money than you have in an account,” McBride said. “Instead, banks have been perfectly willing to let you cross that line.” The decision comes about two months after several major banks – including BB&T Corp, Wells Fargo & Co. and Bank of America Corp. – said they would eliminate fees for customers who overdraw their accounts by less than $5 through a debit-card purchase or ATM transaction.

Barber shop stays cut above for 50 years

UNWELCOME EYES

----

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A row of six, worn, brown barber chairs in the College Village Barber Shop still carries the charm of an old-fashioned establishment, much like a scene from “The Andy Griffith Show.” The warm greetings from the barbers match the warm lotions they use to give a straight-razor shave or a face massage, and the laid-back atmosphere might remind customers of a lazy, summer afternoon – even in the middle of winter. It isn’t your modernday hair salon, and that’s exactly why owner Steven Petroff believes the shop was blessed enough to celebrate its 50th birthday on Nov. 11. “You can call it a sort of old-fashioned service,” Petroff said. “At these modern places, you aren’t going to be able to get a close shave, a shoe shine or a good flattop cut. They were never trained to do that.” Petroff’s father-in-law, Carroll Johnson, opened the shop with several other partners in 1959 when the College Village shopping center first opened. It’s the only shop left in the center that’s

Whitley and Steed have been with the barber shop since it opened 50 years ago. been in operation since its beginnings. And cutting hair has been a part of Petroff’s career since he was a young man, before he served in the Vietnam War. During the 1960s when the war was being waged, Petroff knew if he went to school, he couldn’t be drafted. He enrolled in the Winston-Salem Barber School, a nine-month program that he finished with ease. When those nine months were up, he ended up serving in the war anyway. He became part of the 312th Field Hospital, an Army Reserve unit that was based in Greensboro before it was deactivated in 2005. The 312th operated a large field hospital Chu

Lai, Vietnam, for 10 months from 1968-69. He was part of the cooking unit during that time, but he also cut hair in the evenings. He returned to the States and worked a furniture manufacturing job before opwening his own shop on English Road in 1970. There, he continued his tradition of cutting hair until his father-inlaw recruited him to become part of the business at College Village. Business only has slightly slowed at the shop since the recession began, leaving four barbers to tend to customers instead of the usual six - one for each chair. Petroff also has experienced a few health problems. Regardless, he said business

Hard-hit community learns to grow food WILMINGTON, Ohio (AP) — Many of the new gardeners didn’t know how to grow vegetables, and weren’t sure what to do with them once they did. They learned, though, as part of a project by a local college to help a community hard-hit by the recession grow some of its own food.

Wilmington College provided the 20 plots and the guidance in this southwestern Ohio town after DHL Express decided last year to close its operation here, putting most of 8,000 Wilmington Air Park employees out of work. Local unemployment has soared to 15 percent. Food pantries and other charities reported unprec-

edented demand, so the school, besides using its agricultural program to raise and donate crops, decided it could have a lasting impact by teaching people to garden. “It’s not about a handout, it’s a hand up,” said Chris Burns-Dibiasio, whose husband, Daniel, is president of the private college of some 1,700 stu-

dents. “It’s teaching them how to supplement their groceries; it’s about building a local food system.” The “Grow Food, Grow Hope” program began in late spring in a grassy lot next to a college parking lot. The 20 initial families were identified with the help of social services agencies. Students and staff set

up 4-by-12-foot plots, and provided manure and compost. An anonymous donor helped cover costs, from hoes for each family to a solar-powered electric fence to keep out critters. Now, nine volunteers from VISTA, the national service program, are also helping out, trying to expand the program to more families and more seasons.

GENEVA (AP) – Google Inc.’s unstoppable drive to map and photograph the world has run into an immovable object – Switzerland’s strict tradition of personal privacy. The country’s privacy watchdog announced Friday that he plans to haul the search engine company before a federal court to force it to make changes to its Street View application. Google criticized the decision and said it would defend itself in the case. Street View allows Internet users to view panoramic streetlevel pictures of more than 100 cities around the world. It already has been criticized in several European countries and Japan for allowing individuals to be identified without their knowledge or consent – potentially exposing embarrassing facts about their private lives. Switzerland’s federal data protection commissioner wants Google to ensure that all faces and car plates are blurred, remove pictures of enclosed areas such as walled gardens and private streets, and declare at least one week in advance which town and cities it plans to photograph and post online.

Selling out of the economic downturn BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

The recession has left an indelible mark on many occupations, not the least of which is selling. Mark Ellwood, president of Pace Productivity Inc., in Toronto, has conducted extensive research on sales activities in multi-national organizations across industries. He concludes that salespeople in any economy need to rethink their selling time. Ellwood had subjects press a button on his TimeCorder, an electronic device, when changing activities. The 126,563 pushes recorded by 414 outside salespeople became data over 35,131 hours. Prior to the research, the sales reps said that they averaged 41 percent of their time prospecting, generating sales, orders and marketing, the study shows. However, all of that button-pressing led to only about 22 percent of the time in selling, or “39 different occasions per week,” he reports, “primarily phone calls and meetings with both current customers and prospects.” That adds up to 10.8 hours per week. He recommends 33 percent or 13.2 hours on a 40-hour week.

salespeople increasing their sales time, changing how they do things or both? Michael Browning, director of Strategic Development at Chapman Kelly Inc., in Jeffersonville, Ind., says that he’s engaged in “marketing and sales 100 percent,” but, because of rapid growth, 40 percent ON THE STREET Are successful outside to 50 percent of the time

in selling by itself (up from about 20 percent). This includes “reacting to incoming requests” from articles he’s written, weekly blog updates and the owner’s public speaking, while communicating research findings and consulting prior to a sale. The company has a sales staff handling requests he

online partnerships with businesses. That translates to: • “actively engaging with the customer in the selling process – 25 percent; • “contacting new leads and qualifying – 25 percent; • “following up and handling back-end processes, including developing business plans – 40 percent; and • “10 percent creating marketing materials.” Cress works on full commission, replacing individuals who couldn’t overcome price objections for $40,000 to $75,000 partnerships. “I’m closing sales at a rate of roughly 300 percent that of the highest-performing prior BD professionals after being on the job for four months,” he comments. “Since I started, two others have failed.” He attributes his success to being consultative and deterSPECIAL | WORKWISE FEATURES mining whether his affiliate marketing program can’t.

NEW INITIATIVES Jeff Cress, in Business Both Cress and Browning Development for Mgecom are using new initiatives to Inc., in Cary, N.C., spends stimulate sales. Chapman all of his time developing Kelly did an about-face last

year when it reduced the time in cold calling by using articles and e-mail. “In the past,” Browning notes, “we might have made 100 to 200 calls per day. We make 20 calls now, perhaps, of higher quality.” The shift to search engines, writing and speaking has reduced the need to reach out directly to customers, which used to involve 80 percent of the time. Now 80 percent of time is engaged in customers coming to the company. Cress is moving toward selling as a business transaction, requiring spreadsheets based on revenue and cost projections. The relationship gels as he and the customer discuss the projections. “If I can’t make the business case early,” he observes, “no one wants to take the time to develop a relationship.” Browning certainly believes that “market downturns are a great opportunity for both businesses and individuals to work hard and (emerge) ahead of the competition.” For him and for Cress, successful selling is a mixture of time allocation and marketing strategy.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL HIGH POINT 104 UNC PEMBROKE 72 COLLEGE FOOTBALL GEORGIA TECH 49 DUKE 10

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Nick Barbour was unaware of the individual accomplishment. The team effort was hard to ignore. Sophomore guard Barbour scored a career-high 38 points to help High Point University officially open the Scott Cherry coaching era with a 104-72 romp over Division II UNC Pembroke. “That’s pretty good,” Barbour said in humble astonishment when told of his personal mark. “Coach told us to do what we need to win. After last year, I just want to win.” HPU started off flying on Corey Law’s alley-oop dunk on a set play seconds into the game and kept soaring, scoring 16 of the first 20 points and 20 of the first 24 on the way to running to a 55-23 halftime lead. Blitzing the Braves with tenacious defense, the Panthers scored 41 points off 19 turnovers by the time Barbour the last of four 3s on consecutive HPU possession to put the Panthers up 40 for the first time at 70-30 with 15:47 left in the game. “Coach told us to heat it up on the perimeter and make it hard for them to get it inside,” Barbour said. “We heated it up and got some steals and deflections.” Eugene Harris added 13 points as he went over 1,000 for his HPU career. Law wound up with 11, two on a spectacular windmill dunk in the first half. Shammel Brackett led the Braves with 17 points. With Barbour hot from the outside, the Panthers did not have the scoring balance they did when six players reached double figures in Tuesday’s 93-25 exhibition win over Johnson and Wales. “If we score 104 points, I’ll take it any way we can get them,” Cherry said. “There’s going to be nights when he’s going to get his points. There’s going to be night he is going to have to get other guys involved and distribute the ball. I think the next three of four games, the teams are going to focus on Nick so we’ve got to find way to get him open looks.” High Point faces a stiffer test when it travels to Wake Forest on Wednesday. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

N.C. State wide receiver Darrell Davis (center) is upended after catching a pass over Clemson defenders during the second half of Saturday’s game in Raleigh. The Tigers cruised to a 42-23 victory.

All-purpose Spiller dooms Wolfpack RALEIGH (AP) – C.J. Spiller actually did pretty much do it all for Clemson. He ran for a touchdown, caught a scoring pass and threw one of his own to help the 24th-ranked Tigers beat N.C. State 43-23 on Saturday, putting them in position to go to the ACC title game. “I’m just proud of C.J. – another ho-hum day for him,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. “I don’t know how many other ’first evers’ the guy can have.” No one else at Clemson ever had a touchdown pass, catch and run all in the same game. The do-everything back rushed for 97 yards on 18 carries and made

three catches for 48 yards, including a 34yarder that blew open the game early in the fourth quarter. Jamie Harper added a 69-yard touchdown Spiller run for the Tigers (73, 5-2 ACC), who won their fifth straight. The Tigers will clinch the ACC Atlantic Division with a win over Virginia next week. Russell Wilson was 12 of 32 for 183 yards and two touchdowns for the Wolfpack (4-6, 1-5 ACC), who allowed at least 30 points for the seventh consecutive game. N.C. State squibbed its first three

kickoffs in an effort to keep the ball away from Spiller and fellow speedster Jacoby Ford, setting up the Tigers with good field position. Punter Jeff Ruiz aimed his kicks toward the sideline for the same reason, but he shanked one for 6 yards that gave the Tigers the ball at the N.C. State 17 early in the second quarter. On the next play, Spiller threw the second touchdown pass of his career to give the Tigers a 17-0 lead. He took a toss to the right and lofted the ball to Xavier Dye, who was open in the end zone after running behind cornerback C.J. Wilson. N.C. State was eliminated from bowl consideration.

Tar Heels shock Hurricanes CHAPEL HILL (AP) – Kendric Burney returned one of his three interceptions for a 77-yard touchdown and his third pick resulted in a bizarre fourth-quarter score that helped North Carolina beat No. 12 Miami 33-24 on Saturday. Burney fumbled his third interception on what looked to be a forward pass, but Melvin Williams picked up the loose ball and ran the last 44 yards for a score. The touchdown held up on review after replays showed the

ball slipping from Burney’s hand, confirming a play that gave the Tar Heels (7-3, 3-3 ACC) a 30-17 lead with about 91⁄2 minutes left. Burney finished with 170 interception return yards, a single-game ACC record, and became the first Tar Heel to have three picks in a game since Dre’ Bly in 1996. Casey Barth kicked four field goals, including the clincher with 1:57 left, to help North Carolina become bowl eligible for the second straight year

and give Butch Davis yet another win against his former program. It also was North Carolina’s fifth consecutive win against ranked teams dating to last season. It was quite a way for the Tar Heels to close their home schedule. Their defense, which came in ranked fifth in the nation, allowed 435 yards but harassed Jacory Harris into a career-high four interceptions – with three going to Burney to end drives deep in North Carolina territory.

Seminoles dash Deacons’ bowl hopes WINSTON-SALEM (AP) – Jermaine Thomas rushed for 149 yards and a touchdown, E.J. Manuel was effective in his first career start, and Florida State kept its bowl hopes alive with a 41-28 victory over Wake Forest on Saturday. Manuel was 15 of 20 for 220 yards. He threw for a touchdown and ran

for another replacing the injured Christian Ponder for the Seminoles (5-5, 3-4), who will qualify for a bowl for a record 28th straight year with a win next week against Maryland. Wake Forest (4-7, 2-5) lost its fifth straight and was eliminated from bowl contention in a sour final home game for Riley Skinner. Looking to

become the first quarterback to start in four wins over Seminoles coach Bobby Bowden, Skinner struggled as the Demon Deacons fell behind 31-7 in the second quarter. Wake Forest got within 31-21 early in the third quarter on Kevin Harris’ 12-yard touchdown run from the wildcat formation.

HIT AND RUN

CLEMSON N.C. STATE

t seems to strange to see a team riding a five-game winning streak facing a mustwin game this early in the NFL season. But that’s the case when the surging Pittsburgh Steelers play host to the Cincinnati Bengals this afternoon. The Steelers and Bengals share the AFC North lead with 6-2 records. A Steeler win puts Pittsburgh a game up in the standings. But since Cincinnati captured the first meeting earlier this season, a sweep would give the Bengals what amounts to a two-

game division edge when you factor in the tiebreaker. Whatever happens today, the rest of the schedule seems to play into Pittsburgh’s hands. None of the Steelers’ final seven opponents currently owns a winning record. The Ravens (4-4) and Packers (4-4) are at .500. Also awaiting the Men of Steel are the Chiefs (1-7), Browns (1-7), Raiders (2-6) and Dolphins (3-5). The Bengals’ remaining schedule also features some potential cupcakes, with the Raiders, Browns, Lions (1-7) and Chiefs on the menu. Cincy figures to encounter

tougher resistance against the Vikings (7-1), Chargers (5-3) and Jets (4-4). And leave it to Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco to add some spice to the meeting with a Twitter message describing his plans for before the contest at Heinz Field. “Sending them some mustard since they’ll never ketchup when we play,” Ochocinco said in his tweet. Cincy rooters hope the Bengals don’t choke on those words.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Finally, Kellie Harper figures, the focus will stop being on her. Bonae Holston scored 20 points to give Harper a successful coaching debut at N.C. State and help the Wolfpack beat Florida International 87-71 late Friday night. Harper is hoping the questions about having to follow legendary coach Kay Yow will now center on her players.

Ragsdale surges into second round of playoffs BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

JAMESTOWN – A contest that started slowly for the No. 3 seed gave way to three explosive quarters for the Ragsdale Tigers, as they notched a 31-0 rout of Watauga in the first round of the N.C. High School Athletic Association 4A playoffs. An efficient passing game and bruising rushing attack paced a balanced offense that put plenty of points on the board for the team’s stifling defense, which led

Ragsdale to its 12th win of the season. Quarterback Luke Heavner sparked the dynamic unit by completing 15 of his 20 attempts through the air. The junior signal-caller developed a solid rapport with Desean Anderson and Tyquan Roberts throughout the night, as he found Anderson seven times for 66 yards and one of the team’s four touchdowns. Roberts received five passes for another 51 yards and narrowly missed a 12-yard TD reception in the first quarter. Kasey Redfern’s 29-yard field goal

stood as the lone Tiger points until Chris Armwood’s 44-yard punt return in the second quarter set up a 1-yard touchdown run from Heavner with 7:12 left in the half. On Ragsdale’s next possession, Heavner lobbed a beautiful fade pass to Anderson in the corner of the end zone for a 7-yard touchdown to make it 17-0 heading into the half. In putting the finishing touches on its victory, the Tigers handed the ball to Donovan Smith to eat up the clock in the second half. Smith punished the Pioneer

defense with a barrage of inside rushes, carrying 21 times for 95 yards. The Tigers will look to continue their undefeated run Friday night in advancing to face No. 6 seed Sun Valley at Kenneth T. Miller Stadium.

Thomasville posts playoff win Jackets knock off Trinity BY ZACH KEPLEY THOMASVILLE TIMES

THOMASVILLE – Just about everything went right for Thomasville on Saturday evening, as the Bulldogs pushed around East Rutherford all night long and rolled to a convincing 35-3 victory in the first round of the NCHSAA 2A playoffs. Thomasville was off and running from the opening kick. Starting out at its own 44, the Bulldogs used

a heavy dose of the run and one pass to score first. Kesean Green ran four straight times to move the ball to the 34 of East. On third down, quarterback Sam Nelson hit Brandon Lucas for 21 yards. Two plays later from the 11, it was Lawrence Thomas bulling his way into the end zone for the score. A botched snap on the extra point kept the game at 6-0. The Cougars were supposed to be about equal with the Bulldogs on

speed, but THS was quicker in every aspect of the game. East could not move the football against the stout Thomasville defense, which recorded the first of two defensive scores early in the second quarter. Facing third-and-long at his own 12, Cougar quarterback Mikhail Baxter dropped back to pass. He was met by a wall of men in red and was gang sacked in the end zone for a safety.

Glenn concludes memorable season BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

WINSTON-SALEM – As evenly matched as the two teams were this season, it was only fitting that High Point Central and Glenn’s first-round playoff matchup should come down to the final play. Far less fitting is that the Bobcats’ outstanding season ended so quickly. It was only 21 days ago Glenn moved to 9-1 on the season after defeating Central 14-7 to set up a bout with undefeated Ragsdale. A win would have secured a conference title. Because of a cruel turn of events, however, the Bobcats dropped to a No. 7 seed

and lost to the Bison 14-13 in an early postseason exit. “The thing about this team that is so rewarding is its resiliency,” Glenn coach Dickie Cline said. “Extra points have been a thorn in our side all year and it really came back to bite us.” Cline was referring to the blocked extra point attempt following Josh Hawkins’ 4-yard TD run to preserve a 14-13 lead for Central. In the end, it was that lone point that proved to be the margin of victory in the ball game. One point will not, however, define the season for a 10-win Glenn team that placed second in the rugged Piedmont Triad 4A Conference.

Trojan boys roll to Tipoff title ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

Wesleyan visits Cary Christian on Tuesday.

BY JASON QUEEN SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

TRINITY – With Trinity’s triple-option offense, the Bulldogs’ margin for error is slim. Saturday night, they went way over that margin. Lexington returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown, returned an interception for a touchdown and never let the Bulldogs get into their comfort zone on the way to a 40-22 victory in the first round of the 2A West playoffs. Lexington quarterback Codie Boger ran for three touchdowns while filling in for suspended starter Al Challenger, and Trinity never could get in a groove in the passing game. Trailing 19-10, the Bulldogs fumbled deep in their own territory on the first play of the second half. Boger rumbled in from a yard out moments later, and the Bulldogs never recovered. Angelo Dunn bounced back with a 43-yard touchdown run, but the Jackets came right back. Boger and Dunn

COVENANT DAY GIRLS 38, WESLEYAN 33 HIGH POINT – Leek Lek and Deng Lek sparked Wesleyan Christian Academy to a 65-43 victory over Covenant Day in the Wesleyan Tipoff Classic title game on Saturday. Leek Lek scored 17 points, grabbed six rebounds, dished three assists and had two steals for the Trojans (2-0). He earned tournament-MVP honors. Deng Lek added 16 points, 12 rebounds, six blocks and steals for WCA. Will Coble had 13 points and six boards.

HIGH POINT – Covenant Day took the lead in the second quarter and kept it the rest of the way to defeat Wesleyan 3833 in the consolation game of the Trojan Tipoff Classic on Saturday. Wesleyan led 10-6 at the end of the first quarter before Covenant edged ahead 15-12 at the half. Valerie Beale led the Trojans with 13 points and was named to the all-tournament team. Courtney Bramer added eight points and Taylor Bailey six for Wesleyan. The Trojans (02) travel to Cary Christian on Tuesday.

traded scores to make it 32-22 late in the fourth. But Lexington recovered the onside kick and tacked on an 11-yard touchdown run from Duke Horton, followed by a two-point conversion, for the final margin. Despite outgaining Lexington by 40 yards in the first half, Trinity found itself trailing 19-10. Lexington freshman Marquez Grayson returned the game’s opening kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown, and Stedman Stevenson intercepted a Mario McInnis option pitch and returned it 27 yards for a score. That score made it 13-3 early in the second quarter. Trinity responded with a quickstrike answer, rolling 65 yards on four plays to cut the deficit to 13-10.

Jackets rout Duke, punch ticket to ACC title game DURHAM (AP) – Orwin Smith bobbled the kickoff, recovered just in time to find a seam and took off toward the goal line. Just like that, No. 7 Georgia Tech was off to the races – and headed straight for the ACC title game. The Yellow Jackets clinched the Coastal Division and a spot in the league championship by routing Duke 49-10 on Saturday behind 110 yards rushing and two touchdowns from Jonathan Dwyer and another big day from Josh Nesbitt. Smith’s 83-yard kickoff return sparked slow-starting Georgia Tech (10-1, 7-1). Duke’s Jordon Byas tracked him down from behind at the 2, but none of the Yel-

low Jackets’ pursuers can catch them in the standings. “We’ve been talking about elimination every week, and we finally got everybody eliminated on our side,” coach Paul Johnson said. “We’re division champs (but) that wasn’t the goal. We’re still playing for the goal.” Nesbitt accounted for three scores, finishing 6 of 10 for 195 yards with touchdown passes covering 32 yards to Stephen Hill and 75 yards to Demaryius Thomas and a 2-yard scoring run. Dwyer, the reigning Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year, had TD runs of 3 and 13 yards in his fourth consecutive 100-yard game. Georgia Tech scored on five of six pos-

sessions to break open the game, outgained Duke 519-281, rolled up 306 yards rushing and won its eighth straight while sewing up the Coastal for the second time in four years. Now, after a week off and a visit from instate rival Georgia, it’s on to Tampa, Fla., to face the Atlantic champion with a trip to the Orange Bowl on the line. As the final minutes ticked off the clock, some Tech fans near the goal line unfurled a banner that read, “Tampa Bound.” Thaddeus Lewis was 22 for 35 for 212 yards with an 18-yard touchdown pass to Re’quan Boyette and an interception in garbage time. He also broke Ben Bennett’s

26-year-old school record with his 826th career completion.But the Blue Devils had minus-1 yard rushing through three quarters and finished with 25. Duke (5-5, 3-3) has lost two straight, and must beat No. 12 Miami and Wake Forest to qualify for its first bowl since 1994. “We have to get these guys together and rally,” Lewis said. “It’s not over. We still have two games left, and we have a great opportunity ahead of us. We obviously have to have a short-term memory and keep moving.” Yet for a while, the Blue Devils kept this one interesting, taking a 10-0 lead in the final minute of the first quarter before Smith’s big special-teams play.

The Gators (10-0, 8-0) remained on track for a third national title in four years. They again called on their SEC-leading defense to save things against former coach Steve Spurrier. South Carolina fell to 6-5, 3-5.Florida hadn’t gone undefeated in the SEC regular season since Spurrier’s 1996 national champions. Tebow ended 14 of 25 for 199 yards passing, including a 68-yard touchdown throw to Riley Cooper.

(2) TEXAS 47, BAYLOR 14 WACO, Texas – Colt McCoy tied the NCAA record for career victories by a starting quarterback, throwing two touchdown passes for Texas. McCoy is 42-7 in his career, tying the wins record set by former Georgia quarterback David Greene.

(6) BOISE STATE 63, IDAHO 25 BOISE, Idaho – Kellen Moore threw four touchdown passes to Austin Pettis and tied a career high with five overall, leading Boise State to the victory. The Broncos are 10-0, 5-0 WAC.

(10) OHIO ST. 27, (15) IOWA 24 (OT) COLUMBUS, Ohio – Backup Devin Barclay kicked a 39-yard field goal in overtime to send Ohio State to the Rose Bowl for the first time in 13 years. The Buckeyes (9-2, 6-1) clinched at least a share of their fifth consecutive Big Ten title and the conference’s automatic BCS bid. Iowa (9-2, 5-2), which overcame a 24-10 deficit with just over 11 minutes left, lost its second in a row. Brandon Saine rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns and Dan Herron added another score for the Buckeyes.

(25) STANFORD 55, (11) USC 21 LOS ANGELES – Toby Gerhart rushed for 178 yards and three touchdowns and Stanford rolled. The loss was the Trojans’ worst since a 51-0 defeat at home against Notre Dame in 1966 and essentially ended USC’s seven-year run as Pac-10 champions. Andrew Luck threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score for the Cardinal (7-3, 6-2). The Trojans are 7-3, 4-3.

CENTRAL FLORIDA 37, (13) HOUSTON 32 ORLANDO, Fla. – Brynn Harvey rushed for 139 yards and three touchdowns to spark UCF.

This AFC North first-place showdown includes Bengals BY BARRY WILNER AP FOOTBALL WRITER

What’s old hat for the Pittsburgh Steelers is new world for the Cincinnati Bengals. The Steelers are accustomed to playing games for first place in the AFC North. They just aren’t used to having the Bengals as the opponent. Nor is Cincinnati acclimated to such heights. Yet if the Bengals win at Heinz Field today, they will take a stranglehold on the division after having swept the Super Bowl champions. And they believe they have the offense and, in particular, the defense to do it. “I think Baltimore and Pittsburgh have set the tone for the AFC North and were the ones to come up with the formula, which is good solid defense, run the football and control the field position game,” quarterback Carson Palmer said. “I think that is something we have turned into.” The Bengals also have specialized in late-game rallies, including coming up with most of the big plays in 23-20 home victory over Pittsburgh – Cincinnati’s first at Paul Brown Stadium against the Steelers in nine tries. That was Pittsburgh’s second straight loss. Guess what: The Steelers have won five in a row since. They’ve been particularly impressive against the Vikings and Broncos, two of the elite teams of the first half of the season. Don’t look for the Steelers to flinch. That means the Bengals will have to ignore all those Terrible Towels and take this game away from James Harrison, Ben Roethlisberger, Troy Polamalu, Hines Ward and Mike Tomlin. Also today, it’s New England at Indianapolis in what has become almost an annual high-profile matchup; New Orleans at St. Louis; Dallas at Green Bay; Philadelphia at San Diego; Denver at Washington; Seattle at Arizona; Detroit at Minnesota; Atlanta at Carolina; Jacksonville at the New York Jets; Buffalo at Tennessee; Tampa Bay at Miami; and Kansas City at Oakland. Baltimore visits Cleveland on Monday night. Off this week are Houston and the New York Giants, the final byes for the season.

Panthers hope to pass Falcons test CHARLOTTE (AP) – While some in Atlanta are concerned about Matt Ryan’s recent flurry of interceptions, he’s nowhere close to matching the passing woes in Carolina. Through eight games, the Panthers have one touchdown catch by a wide receiver. Yes, Steve Smith is still on the roster. “I am totally shocked,” fellow receiver Muhsin Muhammad said. “It’s amazing. It’s befuddling to me. I don’t understand it.” With the Falcons (5-3) and Panthers (3-5) bringing two of the league’s elite running backs in Michael Turner and DeAngelo Williams into today’s NFC South contest, the disparities in the passing game have helped define their opposite seasons. Sure, Ryan has thrown eight interceptions in the past four games, but his six touchdowns in that span are one more than Carolina’s Jake Delhomme has mustered all season. With Ryan steady enough and Turner on a two-game tear, the

Falcons remain in playoff position in the NFC after last week’s victory over Washington. “Certainly I would like to play a little bit better, but it’s a long season and you’re going to have some ups and downs,” said Ryan, who threw a career-high three TDs in a Week 2 win over the Panthers. “I just have to grind it out, get through it, and prepare well during the week. All in all, I think we’re doing well.” That’s not the case in Carolina, where Delhomme threw 13 interceptions in the first six games, barely kept his job, then hasn’t thrown a pick in two weeks. But in the past two games the Panthers have looked more like a single wing team, running the ball 83 times to only 45 passes. They upset Arizona without completing a pass in the second half. Delhomme then threw only five first-half passes against New Orleans last week as Carolina built a 17-3 lead. When the Saints rallied and Delhomme was forced to

throw, the Panthers managed only three points in the second half in a 30-20 loss. It left Carolina, the defending division champ, with one more loss than all of last season. “We have to almost throw caution to the wind a little bit and try not to play with as much caution,” said Muhammad, expected to return today after missing two games with a knee injury. Four-time Pro Bowl receiver Steve Smith, who has caught Carolina’s only TD pass by a receiver, is on pace for the fewest catches (68) and yards receiving (956) in a non-injury year since 2002. Williams has overcome the eightman defensive fronts to rush for 307 yards in the past two weeks. The numbers, though, are short of what Turner has produced. After being held under 100 yards in four straight games, Turner rushed for 151 yards in a loss to the Saints and 166 yards and two scores against the Redskins. Turner will test Carolina’s improved run defense.

NEW ENGLAND (6-2) AT INDIANAPOLIS (8-0) If it seems these two meet every year, well, they have played each season since 2003 and also met in the playoffs three of four Januarys. The tally since 2003: New England 5, Indy 4. And if it seems it always is a feature attraction, well, it usually lands on national TV. And why not? Even if the Colts weren’t unbeaten and the Patriots weren’t revving it up since a mediocre first month, this would be great entertainment. Peyton Manning has the look of an MVP. How can we tell? Hey, he’s already won three of them and he’s performing at that level. Tom Brady is starting to resemble the quarterback by whom all winners are measured. Both are surrounded by supreme talent, and both have defenses that are more than complementing the offenses. The one added element: Tony Dungy retired as Colts coach and successor Jim Caldwell has the best record for a rookie coach since 1931. Now he gets to match wits with Bill Belichick.

NEW ORLEANS (8-0) AT ST. LOUIS (1-7) The Saints have looked beatable the last three weeks, yet remain spotless. This doesn’t appear to be the spot where their first defeat comes, even if the Rams won for the first time two weeks ago, then got a bye. Drew Brees, the league’s top-rated passer (106.1) faces the No. 28 defense with all his key personnel healthy. Rams fans who don’t want to show up to watch their team might want to take in Marques Colston, Pierre Thomas, Jeremy Shockey, Reggie Bush and company.

DALLAS (6-2) AT GREEN BAY (4-4) Is the Pack still smarting from the two beatdowns by Brett Favre and the Vikings? Sure looked that way last week at Tampa, where the Buccaneers rallied for their first victory. “You’ve got to go on and move forward, go on to the next game,” wide receiver Greg Jennings said. “If you let a loss like that linger, it will affect you into the next week. I don’t think that’s what happened. We just went down there and didn’t get the job done, especially in that fourth quarter.” If Green Bay doesn’t find a way to protect Aaron Rodgers (trapped an astounding 37 times already), any wild-card aspirations will be sacked, too. Dallas is among the hottest teams in the NFL with four consecutive wins as the offense has awakened and the pass rush has surged. Which means: Watch out, Aaron!

PHILADELPHIA (5-3) AT SAN DIEGO (5-3) What to make of the Eagles? Or the Chargers? Philly can look like world-beaters one week, such as against the Giants in a 40-17 romp to begin the month. Or it can get beaten up physically, as in last week’s loss to Dallas. The Chargers struggled to take down Oakland two weeks ago and were about to fall at the Meadowlands until the Giants got conservative in the final minutes. Now, San Diego has won three straight, yet still doesn’t have the aura of a championship contender. A win here could change that perception.

Stewart considers first Miami mauls NCCU; Appalachian State falls season as owner a success THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Tony Stewart’s won’t win the Sprint Cup championship this season, and his bid to join the late Alan Kulwicki in the NASCAR record books will have to wait at least another year. That won’t change how he views his first season as owner of his own race team. “I think it’s hard to be disappointed, no matter where we end up,” Stewart said Saturday at Phoenix International Raceway. Stewart-Haas Racing stormed out of the gates this season and had solidified itself as a championship contender by May. As Stewart built a lead of 179 points through the first 26 races, he seemed poised to become the first owner/driver since Kulwicki in 1992 to win the championship.

As an added bonus, teammate Ryan Newman also claimed one of the 12 berths in the Chase field. But neither contended for the title. Stewart, who started the Chase seeded second, is currently fifth in the standings with two races remaining. Newman is ninth. Regardless of where they stand after next weekend’s finale at Homestead, Stewart will be pleased. “Just by getting two cars in the Chase and winning the races we’ve won this year exceeded more than what any of you guys could have anticipated, and we could have anticipated,” Stewart said. “We knew on paper that it was possible, but the reality of it was competing against great race teams every week.”

Edwards’ win staves off Busch Nationwide title AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Carl Edwards rolled to a dominating win at Phoenix International Speedway that temporarily staved off Kyle Busch’s bid to clinch the Nationwide Series title. Busch’s first NASCAR championship is a nearcertainty – he only needs to start next week’s race at Homestead-Miami Speedway to grab the title. But early problems Saturday spoiled Busch’s bid to get it out of the way. He spun his Toyota eight laps into the race, suffered heavy damage when he hit the wall, and had to battle to a ninth-place finish. It wasn’t enough, thought, as Edwards picked up bonuses for

leading the most laps and winning the race to put a halt to the celebration. The race was marked by yet another run-in between rivals Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski during a late sequence of hard racing. Both were inside the top five when Hamlin tapped into Keselowski, who retaliated by hitting Hamlin twice. The second contact caused Hamlin to spin. The running feud had many believing their would be post-race fireworks. “I got out of my car as quick as I could, I thought we would see some action,” second-place finisher Kevin Harvick said. Nothing happened as cooler heads prevailed.

Caraway loses three Southern Modified dates for 2010 Caraway Speedway’s status as the prominent track on the NASCAR Southern Modified Tour will not be as prominent in 2010. The .455-mile asphalt track will still have the most races, but the number will decrease from six to three as the total number of races for the Tour drops from 14 this season to 10. The most notable event not returning is one at Martinsville Speedway, which traditionally has been a combination race for NASCAR’s regular Modfied Tour and the Southern Tour. The race will continue next season, but will count toward northern Tour points only as its shifts from September to Sunday, June 6. NASCAR traditionally has not scheduled a Southern Tour race on weeks when Bowman Gray Stadium’s modified class is in action from the first weekend in May through the middle of August. The change at Martinsville leaves a race at Bristol Motor Speedway as the only combination event. That race is scheduled in conjunction with a NASCAR Truck race as preliminaries to the track’s August Cup race. The more diversified schedule for the Southern Tour features more highprofile events to open and close the season. The opening event is scheduled March 5 on the quarter-mile Legends Track at

Atlanta Motor Speedway on the same day as qualifying for the track’s winter Cup race. The seasonending modified event is slated for Thursday, Oct. 14 on the quarter-mile track at Charlotte Motor Speedway in association with qualifying for a Cup race two days later. “The 2010 NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour schedule features an exciting blend of traditional stops with new venues, and an opportunity to both open the season and crown a champion in conjunction with highprofile NASCAR Sprint Cup Series weekends,” said George Silbermann, NASCAR Managing Director of Racing Operations. “We are very pleased to have these new venues on board to feature the Tour as it continues to establish roots throughout the southeast.” Other events added were a race each at Langley Speedway in Hampton, Va., and at Tri-County Speedway near Lenoir. Also dropped in addition to Martinsville and the three Caraway races were one race at Ace Speedway in Altamahaw and on event at Lanier Speedway in Georgia. Caraway’s races that were reatined are slated March 14, July 2 and Aug, 28. Other events returning are Bowman Gray Stadium’s traditional date on the first Saturday in August and one at South Boston Speedway on April 3. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Four share Disney lead THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – George McNeill closed with a double-bogey Saturday and will share the lead with three others entering the final round of the Children’s Miracle Network Classic. McNeill overcame a five-shot deficit and made two eagles on a cool day at Disney World that made greens fast but easy to reach. He shot a 3-under 69 that left him tied at 203 with Justin Leonard (71), Justin Rose (69) and Mathias Gronberg (66) after three rounds. McNeill kept his poise after two early bogeys. He gave back three strokes on the final two holes, including a double-bogey on the 18th. McNeill found trouble from the outset. His first shot of the day hooked past the brush and into the trees, forcing him to take a drop before guiding the ball 20 feet from the hole. McNeill two-putted for bogey but gained six strokes back on six holes later in the round. McNeill sank a 34-foot putt for eagle on the 10th and made a 30-footer for another eagle on the 14th. Then things went sour – again. After bogeying on the 17th, McNeill’s final drive landed out of play. He took a drop before missing a 10-foot bogey putt to take the lead into the final round. Leonard, the leader after two rounds, had his troubles as well. He had a five-shot lead after five holes and seemed as if he were going to run away with the tournament. But one hole did him in. His drive on the 11th sliced way right, bounced off the cart path and splashed into the water. He was able to fade the next shot 30 feet from the pin and two-putted for bogey. Only those who finish in

the top 125 on the money list are guaranteed full status. The next 25 will at least get conditional status and be able to enter more than a dozen tournaments. Rich Beem was among those in danger. The 2002 PGA Championship winner shot a 68, but he is projected to finish No. 128 on the money list unless he improves in the final round. Jeff Maggert and Ricky Barnes stayed inside the cut line with solid rounds. Barnes, who tied for a runner-up finish at the U.S. Open, shot a 71 Saturday.

WHO: Brett Smith WHERE: Oak Hollow Golf Course THE DETAILS: No. 7, 143 yards, with a pitching wedge WITNESSES: Doug Taxiera, Zac Craven, Nick Moore OF NOTE: It was Smith’s first career ace

CALENDAR

Vinny, Roxanne and the two-way radios M

y Uncle Evander Prichart was not a high tech guy. He didn’t trust computers or electronic gadgets. He didn’t even trust automatic shotguns or spinning reels. He would use one if he had to, but he didn’t care for them. His old green Chevy truck had points and a carburetor and he was proud of the fact. When I showed him my new Silverado he liked the nice features but he reminded me that if his truck broke he could fix it and that it would take an engineer to get mine going again. When he showed up just before a week long beach trip with a pair of brand new Motorola two way radios, I was shocked. “These things are great,” he beamed. “My buddy, Bob, uses them to shuttle school busses cross country and he says that they’ll carry twice as far as a CB. We can talk to each other driving down and while we’re on the beach.” I just shook my head. The radios did work great. We always drove separate trucks so we could fish independently. Sometimes Evander wanted to fish more than I did. I had learned that if we were in one truck, I was likely to spend the night sleeping on a truck seat while my bed at the beach house was empty. As I followed him down to the Outer Banks, we found that we could talk when we were a couple of miles apart and there was no interference since these VHF radios were new to the market. We chatted all the way down Highway 64 and 12 until we were in Avon. We picked up bait at Frank and Fran’s, groceries at the Food Lion, and went to the house. Evander had traded a model twelve Winchester for a week in a really nice beach house on the beachfront. We unloaded the groceries and were getting ready to go out on the beach when his radio squawked. “Roxanne, can you just bring me a sandwich and a beer? I’m catching blues and I want to keep fishing.” The radio crackled again. “Sure Vinnie, I’ll be right there.” The voices had an unmistakable New Jersey accent. Evander was never bashful; he picked up his radio and asked Vinnie where he was fishing. The radio went silent, Vinnie never answered and though we heard him and Roxanne talk for the next week, they would never respond to him when he would ask them if they were catching

anything or if he volunteered information about where we were fishing and what we were catching. On the last night before we left, Vinnie and Roxanne were sitting SPORTS comfortably in their rented beach house. A Dick Nor’easter had blown in Jones and the wind was gusting ■■■ to 30 knots. It was raining big drops sideways. Vinnie had just finished a bowl of soup when the radio crackled. “Dick, you better get out here. I just caught my second drum and both were over 48 inches.” My voice came on the radio. “Where are you?” Evander came back. “Just below ramp 34 in the hole we fished this afternoon.” Vinnie dropped his soup bowl in the sink and put on his yellow slicker as he went down the steps to his truck. Minutes later, Vinnie was driving up and down the beach below ramp thirty four as waves crashed in the pitch dark. His wipers were slashing furiously at the spray, sand, and rain that lashed across his windshield. “Evander, Dick, how far below 34 are you?” “Do you want some more coffee to go with that pound cake?” my uncle asked as he stood in the spacious kitchen of the borrowed beach house. I was sitting in a leather recliner. My stocking feet were aimed toward the gas log fireplace as I nodded in the affirmative. The radio crackled again. “Hey Dick, how far below thirty four are you guys?” Vinnie’s voice was unmistakable. I pictured Vinnie driving around on the hostile beach in rain and howling winds. Evander topped up my coffee cup and clicked the Motorola off. He winked and said, “Well, would you look at that? Vinnie has gotten friendly enough to talk to strangers.” DICK JONES IS a freelance writer living in High Point.

Thirteen-year-old Spencer Wilson is determined not to let cancer get him down BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – Spencer Wilson sits on the edge of a hospital bed, watching calmly – almost smiling – as a potent drug seeps into his body. Only 13 years old, Spencer doesn’t really know or even care which drug he’s receiving: Doxorubicin? Vincristine? Cyclophosphamide? What the High Point youth does know, however, is that the tumor in his left leg, just above the knee, has shrunk. Once the size of an egg, it’s now the size of a butter bean. He also knows that without this chemo cocktail, the tumor – a rare malignancy called Ewing’s sarcoma – most likely would kill him. This particular treatment marks the fifth time since late

’I’m just trusting God right now. He’s giving me strength.’ Spencer Wilson Cancer patient August that Spencer’s 92-pound body has been flushed with the powerful chemo drugs, so he already knows what’s coming: Nausea. Fatigue. Shortness of breath. That nasty metallic taste in his mouth. Light-headedness. Mouth sores. Even when the side effects subside, a quick glance in the mirror at his bald head – another side effect from the chemo – is all Spencer needs to remind him of the battle he’s fighting. Yet there he sits – shirtless, hairless and fearless – coolly eyeing the drug that will sap him of

Around his neck, Spencer wears a necklace given to him by a friend after the cancer diagnosis. The necklace bears a single word – “STRENGTH” – and references Philippians 4:13, Spencer’s favorite Bible verse. “I can do all things in Him who strengthens me.” It’s a verse Spencer says has inspired him on the basketball court, where – despite his small stature – he’s a scrappy, albeit talented, overachiever who wholeheartedly believes he can play with the big boys, and so far no one has proven him wrong. Spencer knows, though, that this battle is no game. His opponent is much tougher, the stakes much greater. He’s completed six of his scheduled 15 rounds of chemo, which doctors say has shrunk the tumor about 80 percent. The tumor will be surgically removed Friday, and then he’ll have nine more rounds of chemo. “I’m just trusting God right now,” Spencer says softly. “He’s given me strength.” Spend some time with Spencer, and you’ll figure out pretty quick that’s not just something he says – it’s something he believes. **** Spencer’s journey began last

SPECIAL | HPE

Former Davidson star Stephen Curry sent Spencer an autographed jersey. November, when his parents – Billy and Jodie Wilson – noticed what they believed to be a cyst in his left leg. The doctor wasn’t too concerned and suggested the Wilsons simply keep an eye on it. They did just that, and by spring they noticed the small lump was growing. “It never hurt, and it wasn’t attached to anything,” Jodie says. “It still seemed pretty harmless.” By summer, though, as the lump continued to grow, the Wilsons became more concerned and took Spencer to an orthopedist. X-rays and an MRI proved inconclusive, so he was referred to a pediatric orthopedist, who ordered a biopsy in mid-August. Before Spencer was even out of recovery, the doctor expressed his concerns about the growth. “He said the cells were active,” Jodie recalls. “He wasn’t very

pleased with how it looked under the microscope.” About a week later – on Aug. 20 – the Wilsons’ worst fears were confirmed: Their son had cancer. For nearly three hours that afternoon, a pediatric oncologist met with Spencer and his parents, painting for them a grim picture of what could happen as a result of the sarcoma. Spencer’s leg might have to be amputated. He might die. Spencer sat quietly as the doctor talked, understandably overwhelmed by news that would rock the world of most adults, much less a 13-year-old kid. “He was very composed and took it all in,” Billy says. “That night the three of us came home and we cried. We said, ‘We’re gonna get through this.’ We

A new study by researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine suggests that many patients are dissatisfied with the way they receive results of radiology tests and want more access to information in their medical records, specifically, detailed, laylanguage results from those tests. The study, published in the November issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology, reports that in general, patients are not happy with the way they receive information about radiology imaging tests, such as MRIs (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), CT (Computed Tomography, or “CAT”) scans and ultrasounds, and how long it takes to get results

ear Abby: On a Sunday afternoon in late September, I got hopelessly lost trying to find O’Hare Airport in Chicago. I pulled off the interstate at a neighborhood exit and asked a man parked at the curb for directions. He was Hispanic, and there was a bit of a language barrier, but he and his sister offered to lead me there. When we neared Midway Airport, I realized the mistake that had happened. They again offered to lead me to O’Hare – which is a considerable distance from Midway. We traveled through stop-and-go traffic, took shortcuts through local neighborhoods with parades, demonstrations and traffic cops, and became temporarily separated when other vehicles darted between me and my rescuers. I worried that the needle on my gas gauge would drop, which would mean having to gas up again at my destination – if I ever reached it. They got me to O’Hare and I turned in my car before the needle dipped.

I could only wave my gratitude as I turned off. I hope my navigators understood. They were in their late 30s/early 40s and driving a small red pickup with an open bed.

Snap decisions or taking action before you are ready will lead to mistakes, misunderstandings and misfortunes. Eventually you will get the whole truth and will know instinctively how to respond. Nothing is as bad as it seems. Your numbers are 7, 9, 17, 22, 29, 33, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Call upon people you have helped in the past and consider what’s being offered and how you can put it to best use. Intensity will build between you and someone with whom you had intimate moments. Avoid controversy. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t let your stubbornness stand in the way of having a good time. Look at the big picture and how much you can gain by being personable. It’s adaptability, versatility and positive action that matter. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may feel pressured by the situation you are facing at work. Put your fears aside and focus on what you can do to ensure you will have revenue coming in. Don’t hesitate to offer your services to organizations that are in need. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Mingle with people who contribute experience, information and solutions and you will feel comfortable sharing your thoughts. The investment you make in others will improve your positions and interests personally, financially and physically in the future. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t let domestic problems turn into something uncontrollable. Arguing won’t solve anything and will probably stand in the way of something you are planning to do. Don’t overspend on your home, family or a lover. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Nurture and protect a relationship or partnership you value. Your ideas will be well received by the people who know you

best and understand your motives. A problem with a pet may not be what it appears; get a second opinion. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Work out the kinks in a project you are working on and you will feel better about what lies ahead professionally. You can touch base with people you have worked with in the past. Volunteer your services. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Make the changes you feel will lead to greater comfort, emotional attitude and personal gain. You will upset someone if you don’t share your plans. Structure what you want to do so it includes everyone who might be slighted if you are secretive. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Keep your thoughts to yourself and you’ll avoid an emotional confrontation with someone who wants greater control over you. Impulsive action will be your downfall and will send the wrong message to someone you want to impress. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You will make some interesting evaluations regarding the people who influence your life. Change is good and will help put you in a much better personal position. Don’t let someone from your past disrupt your world now. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Avoid anyone looking for a fight or who could pose a danger to you. Travel will not be in your best interest and can result in delays or lead to a perilous situation. Make legitimate alterations to your current situation. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can make some good financial moves. Winnings or any cash owed to you will come your way in a strange manner. Something of value will be offered from someone you least expect. Don’t let your good fortune have adverse effects on the way you proceed. ★★★★★

wealth is all they care about. Over the past 10 years they have filed for bankruptcy twice, lost two homes, had three cars repossessed and been through credit counseling twice. My two siblings and I have tried to help, but all it did was enable them to continue acting irresponsibly. The money we have “lent” them is into five figures. Once we lent them money so their car wouldn’t be repossessed, but they used it to buy new furniture. Mom and Dad are now unemployed, and none of us is able to bail them out again. Last year, we asked them to forgo any holiday gifts. All we wanted was a family dinner and for them to use their money on bills and necessities. They didn’t listen and bought us extravagant gifts anyway, only to hit us up later for money to pay the bills! We returned the gifts and gave the money back to them. How do we impress upon our parents that we don’t want any gifts this year? We’re ready to cancel celebrating

Christmas with them. I know they’ll be hurt, but what else can we do? – Hates the Holidays in Ohio Dear Hates the Holidays: Your parents have a serious problem, and if you care about their welfare – as you and your siblings obviously do – I recommend that all of you start family counseling immediately. It may take a mediator to help your parents realize that their behavior is out of control and that someone else should be managing their finances. You cannot and should not be expected to fix their money problems, which I suspect are the result of other underlying issues. Your doctor or state psychological association can refer you to someone who is licensed and qualified.

Checks sent according to birth date

When are Social Security benefits paid?

A. Social Security benefits are paid each month, but for the previous month. For example the check received in June is for the month of May. When you applied for benefits, your benefit award notice told you when you can expect to receive your benefit payment. Generally, the day in the month on which you receive your benefit depends on the birth date of the person on whose record you receive benefits. For example, if you receive benefits as a retired or disabled worker, your benefit will be determined by your birth date. If you receive

SOCIAL SECURITY

---

benefits as a spouse, your benefit payment date will be determined by your spouse’s birth date. Here’s how it works: If the birth date is 1-10, benefits are paid on the second Wednesday. If the birth date is 11-20, benefits are paid on the third Wednesday. If the birth date is 21-31, benefits are paid on the fourth Wednesday. For example, your date of birth is June 16. Your monthly retirement check will be paid on the third Wednesday of every month. Q. I got a letter that said my Social Security

disability case has to be reviewed. Am I going to stop getting benefits until retirement? A. Your disability benefits will continue as long as your medical condition has not improved and you cannot work. Your case must be reviewed regularly to make sure your disability hasn’t improved and that you are still unable to work. If you are still receiving disability benefits when you reach full retirement age, they will automatically be converted to retirement benefits. Remember, www. socialsecurity.gov has the answers to all your Social Security questions. Or, you can call (800) 772-1213 or TTY at (800) 325-0778.

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

Mysterious death of dog haunts reader D

ear Dr. Fox: Recently, my husband and I had a very painful and heartbreaking experience that we need to find some closure to. After the recent death of our son, we took over the care of his beautiful female shepherd/husky (age 9). She was our life and such a beautiful, healthy and happy dog. She became tired and lost her appetite. Then, one day, she got hot and vomited. We took her to our vet, and they sent us to an acute-care hospital. We were told she had a disease called Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia – a disease that has no cause or real cure. It was so painful to watch a very healthy dog slowly die before our eyes. Most people who saw her a few days before her death could not believe this. – P.A.R., Rockville, Md.

Dear P.A.R.: My condolences to you and your husband. Such a double loss must have been emotionally devastating. The most likely cause of your dog’s acute autoimmune disease is vaccinosis – an adverse vaccine reaction. Some breeds are more susceptible than others. Vaccine-related diseases are being more widely recognized and accepted by veterinarians who are changing their vaccination protocols accordingly. Giving annual rabies vaccinations in combination with a cocktail of other vaccinations is becoming a thing of the past. Advocating annual across-the-board booster vaccinations for dogs and cats is, I believe, tantamount to malpractice. Check my report on this topic on my Web site: www.twobitdog. com/DrFox. Dear Dr. Fox: Normally, our 2-year-old cat, Charlie, is out during the day and comes in at about 10 p.m. to sleep. Recently, he disappeared for two nights. Since his return, he is very different. Charlie won’t go out and growls at the door. Once we turn the lights on at night, he goes into a panic. He literally runs from his own shadow. And now he’s decided to stay hidden as much as possible. When I pick him up, he rubs all over me and purrs loudly as though he can’t get enough love. But as soon as I put him down, he runs and hides. He doesn’t seem to be afraid of people, but rather something invisible (at least to us). If I put food out early in the morning with a small light on, he will eat. As soon as I turn on the overhead light, he panics and disappears. He is eating (wet and dry) and drinking water, although not as much. He must be doing this at night when the lights are off. He won’t go near doors or windows. I don’ know what happened to him, but we need to get him through this crisis. Also, my mother and I can’t keep living in the dark. Any ideas on how to help Charlie? – P.H., Brownwood, Texas

Dear P.H.: Poor Charlie is suffering from PostTraumatic Stress Disorder ANIMAL (PTSD). This is not DOCTOR uncommon in dogs and Dr. Michael cats who Fox have been ■■■ terrified by a sudden noise, flashing lights or even attacked by another animal or tortured by one of our own species. Being caught in a storm or almost hit by a screeching, honking vehicle with blinding headlights could be a trigger for PTSD. A thorough physical exam is in order. He could have a painful broken tooth or marks on his skin where he may have been bitten, and abscesses could develop. If there are no signs of physical injury, then a prescription of Valium or valerian would be the next step. Such medication has helped many animals suffering from PTSD.

Explore Chicago’s ethnic neighborhoods BY CARYN ROUSSEAU ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

Chinatown, one of Chicago’s numerous ethnic neighborhoods, has a well-marked entrance. wear headsets to hear Greek immigrants tell their stories. Each August the neighborhood hosts a Taste of Greece festival. The Greek Independence Day Parade is in the spring. For more information: www.greektownchicago. org/ and www.nationalhellenicmuseum.org/. LITTLE ITALY: Chicago’s Italian community is centered along Taylor Street on the city’s near West Side bordered by the University of Illinois-Chicago campus. Dennis O’Neill, director of the neighborhood’s University Village Association, says visitors who walk west on Taylor Street from Halsted Street to Ashland Avenue will discover the area’s rich dining history. The street is lined with fancy Italian restaurants that serve pasta and steaks as well as take-out pizza and sandwich eateries. Among them are the red awnings of Al’s Italian Beef (1079 W. Taylor St.) where you can get 8-inch-long beef sandwiches with peppers and cheese. In the summer, lines form outside Mario’s Italian Lemonade (1068 W Taylor St.) for frosty to-go Italian ices. The neighborhood also is home to the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame (1431 W. Taylor St.), www.niashf.

org/, where you can see boxer Rocky Marciano’s 1952 championship belt and Mario Andretti’s race car. MEXICAN: Those looking to capture Mexican culture can tour both the Pilsen and Little Village neighborhoods on Chicago’s near south and west sides. In Pilsen, start on Halsted and 18th streets and walk west to Ashland Avenue. Carlos Tortolero, president and founder of the neighborhood’s National Museum of Mexican Art (1852 W. 19th St.), says visitors will find affordable taquerias, art galleries, churches and shops selling religious goods. For restaurants, try La Cebollita (1807 S. Ashland Ave.) for sopes (dough patties with various toppings) or Taqueria El Milagro (1923 S. Blue Island Ave.). In Little Village, an arch welcomes visitors with the words “Bienvenidos a La Villita” at 26th Street and Albany Avenue. Walk west along 26th Street and the area stretches for more than a mile. Luis Alva, director of the Little Village Chamber of Commerce, says the neighborhood has more than 70 Mexican restaurants along with candy stores, bakeries and shops selling Mexican-style dresses, boots, hats and belts. The neigh-

borhood hosts an annual Mexican Independence Day festival and parade. For more information: www.lavillitachamber.org/ and www.nationalmuseumofmexicanart.org/. POLISH: There are several Polish areas in Chicago and the suburbs, but the main neighborhoods are along Milwaukee Avenue. Start at the historic Polish Triangle – the intersection of Milwaukee Avenue, Division Street and Damen Avenue. At the beginning of the last century, this neighborhood was crowded with Polish immigrants and businesses, says Jan Lorys, director of the Polish Museum of America. The museum (984 N. Milwaukee Ave.) is a few blocks southeast on Milwaukee Avenue, where visitors can see Polish folk costumes and crafts among other exhibits. A good place to get a meal nearby? Podhalanka (1549 W Division St.) is a small kitchen serving homestyle Polish food. Then travel northwest on Milwaukee Avenue to Belmont Avenue. Here, Lorys says, you’ll find a neighborhood lined with Polish groceries, bakeries, bookstores and shops. A popular restaurant in this area is the Red Apple Buffet (3121 N. Milwaukee Ave.)

where you can eat a Polish dinner for $10-$11. For more information: www.polishmuseumofamerica.org/. SOUTH ASIAN: Immigrants started opening businesses along Devon Avenue on Chicago’s North Side in the early 1970s and the area now is a bustling district, says Lakshmi Menon of the Indo-American Heritage Museum (6328 N. California Ave.). Start at California Avenue and walk east along Devon Avenue and the neighborhood stretches for more than 10 city blocks. Menon suggests a good first stop would be at a grocery where ethnic foods and special cooking utensils line the shelves. Sit-down, buffet and take-out restaurants serve tandoori dishes and naan breads while sweet shops have ethnic desserts. Try Hema’s Kitchen (2439 W. Devon Ave.) or the vegetarian Udupi Palace (2543 W. Devon Ave.), and for Pakistani cuisine, try Sabri Nehari, (2502 W. Devon Ave.), which is known, and named, for a stringy meat delicacy. Merchants along the street stock colorful sari dresses, embroidered outfits and an array of jewelry. The Indo-American museum offers guided tours by appointment at www.iahmuseum.org/.

Colonial-style coffeehouse opening in Williamsburg

ILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) – Don’t expect soy lattes or Internet access for your laptop, but your next visit to Colonial Williamsburg could include a stop in a coffeehouse. Visitors will be able to experience an 18th century-style coffeehouse when R. Charlton’s Coffeehouse opens Friday on Duke of Gloucester Street at the historic site. Free coffee, tea and hot chocolate inspired by 18th-century recipes will be served in demitasse cups at R. Charlton’s. Costumed re-enactors will discuss with visitors how the consumption of these drinks related to colonial society, hospitality and political issues of the day, including trade and taxes. R. Charlton’s, named for coffeehouse proprietor Richard Charlton, was a real establishment in the 1760s, frequented by politicians, gentry and others. The China tea imported from England, West Indian coffee, chocolate from the Caribbean

R. Charlton’s Coffeehouse, an 18th-century-style coffeehouse, opens at Colonial Williamsburg in Williamsburg, Va., on Friday. rim and high-style cuisine placed the establishment a cut above other local taverns. Patrons gathered there for social gossip, political discussion and the latest news from England. The coffeehouse was even the site of a protest against the Stamp Act of 1765, in which England imposed taxes in

the colonies on newspapers, pamphlets and legal documents. That protest will be incorporated into Colonial Williamsburg’s programming, debuting for one episode at the Nov. 20 opening and becoming a regular scene for visitors in the spring. The coffeehouse recreation

began as an excavation by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. A Victorian home had been built on the foundation where the original coffeehouse stood, and Williamsburg’s archaeological studies of the site began in 1995 after the home was purchased by Colonial Williamsburg and moved to a new location outside the historic area. Some pieces from the coffeehouse had been repurposed inside the Victorian home, and thousands of artifacts were unearthed at the site, enabling historians and artisans to reproduce for R. Charlton’s the look of everything from furniture to coffee cups. Shingles, nails and even paint were handcrafted by workers from Historic Trades, an interpretive department at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. The planning, design, construction and endowment of R. Charlton’s Coffeehouse was funded by a $5 million donation from the Mars Foundation.

HICAGO – From Greektown to Chinatown, from the Polish Triangle to Pakistani restaurants on Devon Avenue, Chicago has a wealth of diverse ethnic neighborhoods to explore. Chicago is known as a city of neighborhoods and Patricia Sullivan, manager of the city’s Chicago Neighborhood Tours program, said visitors need to leave the tourist-heavy Loop and Michigan Avenue areas to really see the different ethnic and cultural corners of the city. “They’re distinct and they’re beautiful,” Sullivan said. “It’s really a melting pot.” Here are highlights of some of Chicago’s ethnic neighborhoods: CHINATOWN: Visitors to this neighborhood on Chicago’s near South Side will be greeted by the large red and green Chinatown Gate on Wentworth Avenue and Cermak Road. Here are blocks of stores to explore that sell Chinese slippers and robes, trinkets and bamboo plants alongside Chinese tea shops and herbalists. Restaurants range from nicer sit-down eateries to small take-out establishments. The neighborhood is home to the annual Chinese Lunar New Year parade with marching bands and floats. The community also hosts a summer concert series that includes traditional Chinese music in Chinatown Square along with a Chinatown summer fair each July. The ChineseAmerican Museum of Chicago (238 W. 23rd St.) has been closed since a fire in September 2008. For more information: www. chicagochinatown.org. GREEKTOWN: It’s clear you’ve reached Greektown when you read the signage on the local Walgreens drugstore – it’s written in Greek. Greektown stretches along Halsted Street from Van Buren Street north to Washington Street in the city’s West Loop neighborhood. Fancier restaurants with names like Pegasus, Parthenon and Santorini serve saganaki (fried cheese) and spanakopita (spinach pie). They set alongside bakeries, candle shops and corner fast food eateries where you can order take-out gyros. The cultural center focuses around the National Hellenic Museum (801 W. Adams St.), where museum officials say visitors can see folk art and textile exhibits. The museum also boasts an oral history center that lets listeners

Hormonal changes start tumultuous teen years Q

uestion: Many of the struggles of the teen years are attributed to hormones. If that explanation is accurate, then what implications does it have for parents of early adolescents? Dr. Dobson: First, understanding this glandular upheaval makes it easier to tolerate and cope with the emotional reverberations that are occurring. For several years, some kids are not entirely rational! Just as a severely menopausal woman may accuse her innocent and bewildered husband of infidelity, a hormonally depressed teenager may not interpret his world accurately either. His social judgment is impaired. Therefore, parents shouldn’t despair when it looks like everything they have tried to teach their kid seems to have been forgotten. He is going through a metamorphosis that has turned everything upside down. But stick around. He’ll get his legs under him again! I strongly recommend that parents of strong-willed and rebellious females, especially, quietly keep track of the particulars of their daughters’ men-

strual cycles. Not only should you record when their periods begin and end each month, but also make a comment or two each day about moods. I think you will see that the emotional FOCUS blowups that tear the family apart are cycliON THE cal in nature. PremenFAMILY strual tension at that age can produce a flurry Dr. James of skirmishes every Dobson twenty-eight days. If you ■■■ know they are coming, you can retreat to the storm cellar when the wind begins to blow. You can also use this record to teach your girls about premenstrual syndrome and how to cope with it. Unfortunately, many parents never seem to notice the regularity and predictability of severe conflict with their daughters. Again, I recommend that you watch the calendar. It will tell you so much about your girls. Question: How about adolescent boys? Do they have a hormonal cycle too?

Excessive sweating is an illness

ear Dr. Donohue: I have head sweats, and I mean bigtime. It makes no difference if it’s summer or winter. I sweat for no reason. My hair looks like I just came out of the shower. People stare at me. The rest of my body is dry. I have been to several doctors. No diagnosis. I went through several tests for my thyroid, but it isn’t that. I take blood pressure medicine, a water pill, gout medicine, a thyroid pill and potassium. Can you tell me something that will help? – K.L. You’re not alone. About 3 percent of the population – a considerable number of people – suffers from excessive sweating. The medical HEALTH name for the condition is hyperhidrosis (HI-pur-hiDr. Paul DROWE-siss). You have Donohue focal hyperhidrosis. “Focal” ■■■ means the sweating is limited to one body area, your head. Others have sweaty palms, soles or underarms. An underlying cause has to be considered, but is rarely found. An overactive thyroid gland, an unusual tumor called a pheochromocytoma, episodes of low blood sugar and menopause are some of the conditions associated with hyperhidrosis (mainly total body hyperhidrosis). Medicines sometimes can be at fault. Is your blood pressure medicine a beta blocker or a calcium channel blocker? They’re on the list of possible offenders. Sweating limited to the head and face is more difficult to treat than sweating of the palms, soles and underarms. Antiperspirants containing aluminum can be used in those areas, but often are irritating to the head and face. Prescription-strength aluminum preparations like Drysol are quite helpful – again, not for the face or head. Botox injections work but aren’t used for head sweating. Your doctor can prescribe medicines that diminish sweat output. A class of drugs called anticholinergics might stop the dripping. Clonidine, Robinul and Robinul Forte are oral drugs that are worth a try. The trouble with these medicines is that they often have unpleasant side effects. If you are truly desperate, talk to a neurosurgeon about severing nerves that control sweating. Dear Dr. Donohue: My wife is 84 and has had Alzheimer’s disease for the past eight or nine years. She has been given physical therapy to see if she can walk again, but without success. Does the illness prevent her from walking, or is it because her legs have been inactive for so long a time? – D.H. Your wife’s inability to walk is primarily because of her illness. Brain areas that are responsible for activating walking muscles and for coordinating the complex act of walking have been damaged by the same processes that ravage the brain areas for memory and judgment. Disuse of leg muscles has a role, too, but it is secondary to the role the brain plays in loss of this basic function. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Dr. Dobson: Their emotions and behavior are certainly driven by hormones. Everything from sexual passion to aggressiveness is motivated by the new chemicals that surge through their veins. There is, however, no cyclical fluctuation that parallels a menstrual calendar in girls. As a result, they can be more volatile and less predictable throughout the month than their female counterparts. Question: Please describe the best approach to the discipline of a 1-yearold child. Dr. Dobson: Many children will begin gently to test the authority of their parents as they approach their first birthday. The confrontations will be minor and infrequent at first, yet the beginnings of future struggles can be seen. My own daughter, for example, challenged her mother for the first time when she was nine months old. My wife was waxing the kitchen floor when Danae crawled to the edge of the linoleum. Shirley said, “No, Danae,” gesturing to the child not to enter the

kitchen. Since our daughter began talking very early, she clearly understood the meaning of the word no. Nevertheless, she crawled straight onto the sticky wax. Shirley picked her up and set her down in the doorway while saying no even more strongly as she put her down. Seven times this process was repeated until Danae finally yielded and crawled away in tears. As far as we can recall, that was the first direct confrontation of wills between my daughter and my wife. Many more were to follow. How does a parent discipline a 1year-old? Very carefully and gently! A child at this age is easy to distract and divert. Rather than jerking a wristwatch from his or her hands, show him or her a brightly colored alternative – and then be prepared to catch the watch when it falls. When unavoidable confrontations do occur, as with Danae on the waxy floor, win them by firm persistence but not by punishment. Have the courage to lead the child without being harsh or mean or gruff. Compared to the months that are to follow, the period around one year of age is usually a tranquil, smooth- functioning time in a child’s life.

SPENCER

Teen competes hard against cancer FROM PAGE 1E

knew that God was gonna be there for us and that Spence would get through it.” Billy’s words trail off as his eyes brim with tears, and Jodie speaks to fill the silence. “Spencer is a very competitive kid – in everything,” she says softly, “and I think God gave him that spirit of a fighter because He knew what he was gonna face one day.” **** Even as the oncologist spoke of amputation and death, Spencer’s mind raced to one of his greatest loves – basketball. “I think the hardest hit for Spence was when the doctor said, ‘You’re not gonna play basketball for a year,’” Jodie says, and Spencer nods in solemn agreement. “I think that’s when it hit him the hardest.” Make no mistake about it: Spencer would much rather be on a basketball court. Like any kid, he’d rather be anywhere other than in a room at Brenner Children’s Hospital, tethered to an IV pole and absorbing powerful drugs that he knows will make him sick. But the basketball court is where he feels most at home – shooting 3-pointers or driving into the lane, perfecting his already-smooth ball-handling skills, hounding an opponent with tenacious defense. As recently as three months ago – before his diagnosis – Spencer would spend two or three hours a day playing basketball. The day before his biopsy, he played for three hours and ran a couple of miles with no trouble – a testament to how silently the tumor was dwelling in him. In July, Spencer’s team – an elite AAU team from the Triad called Kingdom Athletes – finished fifth in the nation among 13-andunder teams. Spencer came off the bench, but Coach Chad Wilkerson describes him as “a very special basketball player” who has the potential to play Division I ball in college. “Spence is a kid who’s passionate about the game, and his passion matches his talent,” Wilkerson says. “Sometimes you have talented kids, and sometimes you have passionate kids, but the really special players are the ones

SPECIAL | HPE

Wilson family portrait includes (from left) Rachel, 9; Billy; Jodie; Weston, 15; and Spencer, 13. who have a combination of both, and that’s what Spence has.” He also has Philippians 4:13. “When I’m in a basketball tournament,” Spencer says, “I just think of that verse, and it helps me.” Billy adds, “I think Spence knows deep down that God’s gonna give him the strength and the ability to do his best. That’s where he gets his confidence.” Confidence, in fact, may be Spencer’s strongest suit, according to Wilkerson. “He believes he belongs on the court, and he doesn’t shy away from competition or excellent players,” he says. “I’ve seen him square off with 35-year-old men and give them headaches.” So when the Kingdom Athletes 14-and-under team begins its season in February, Spencer desperately wants to be on the court with his teammates. That’s not going to happen, though, because he’ll be finishing up his chemo treatments; he hopes to join the team before the nationals in July, but even that will be determined by the cancer and how well he ultimately responds to treatment. Spencer understands that, but like most 13year-olds, he hasn’t been blessed with an abundance of patience and contentment. So he tries to lean on another favorite verse, Jeremiah 29:11, which says, “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you,

plans to give you hope and a future.’” Spencer doesn’t know what those plans are, “but I know something good will come out of it,” he says. **** Billy Wilson has always known what a tough kid Spencer is, but the past three months have really opened his eyes. Spencer cried only once – the day of the diagnosis – and rarely complains. Every morning, he gives himself a shot of Neupogen – which helps replenish his body’s white blood cell count – and says it’s “no big deal.” He smiles often and focuses on staying upbeat. While being interviewed for this story, he cracked a couple of jokes, even as a nurse prepared his portacath for chemo. “We try to keep it all positive,” Billy says, “but there are some hard moments, too. His last chemo was hard on him, and he was experiencing some difficulties, but he’s been a real trouper through all of this. He’s remained positive and upbeat. “A lot of people have heroes – like Lebron James and Kobe Bryant – but Spence is the hero. Those guys just get paid lots of money to do what they love, but he’s doing what he needs to do through something he hates. He’s leading by example through a lot of adversity – and not complaining – and I think that says a lot.” On those rare occasions when Spencer gets down,

he finds encouragement in his bedroom, which has been transformed into a sports memorabilia showroom. As various athletes and coaches have learned of Spencer’s battle, they’ve sent him memorabilia – usually signed – to lift his spirits. NFL quarterback Kurt Warner sent a football. So did Tom O’Brien, the head football coach at N.C. State. Wake Forest football coach Jim Grobe invited Spencer to a practice, where he hung out with some of the players. The Brevard College basketball team has made Spencer an honorary teammate and plans to present him with his own jersey at an upcoming game. The Kansas Jayhawks basketball team sent memorabilia, too. But ask Spencer to pick his favorite item, and he’ll probably point to the basketball jersey he received from one of his favorite players, Stephen Curry, the former Davidson College star now playing for the Golden State Warriors. Curry autographed the front of the jersey, and on the back he wrote, “To Spencer, Remember: I can do all things in Him who strengthens me!” “When he got that, I just started crying,” Jodie says. “I mean, that’s just one of those God things.” And what does Spencer think? “That was pretty awesome,” he says with a wide grin, suddenly sounding strong and energized. “Pretty awesome.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Tourism downturn leads resort to close NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) – A Bahamian hotel operator has closed one of his resort properties as the recession slashes occupancy rates across the vast archipelago. The 50-room Royal Palm Resort & Suites was closed in early November by hotelier Mario Donato, and guests with reservations were moved to the Xanadu Beach Resort & Marina on

Grand Bahama Island, which Donato also owns, according to Xanadu spokeswoman Tiffany Anderson. The closure comes as tourism struggles in the region. Earlier this year, the Four Seasons Resort Great Exuma in the Bahamas and the Nikki Beach Resort & Spa in Turks and Caicos both closed down.

ANIMAL’S HERITAGE

----

A visitor from the Niger capital, Niamey, watches a pair of giraffes from Africa’s most endangered giraffe subspecies, in the bush near Koure, Niger. By all accounts, they should be extinct. Instead, their numbers have quadrupled to 200 since 1996, an unlikely boon experts credit to the concurrence of an impoverished government keen for revenue that has enacted laws to protected them, a conservation program that encourages people to support them and a rare harmony with humans who have accepted their presence.

Back from brink African giraffes make surprising comeback BY TODD PITMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

KOURE, Niger — A crisp African dawn is breaking overhead, and Zibo Mounkaila is on the back of a pickup truck bounding across a sparse landscape of rocky orange soil. The tallest animals on earth are here, the guide says, somewhere amid the scant green bush on one side, and the thatched

They’re here, but by all accounts, they shouldn’t be. A hundred years ago, West Africa’s last giraffes numbered in the thousands and their habitat stretched from Senegal’s Atlantic Ocean coast to

Chad, in the heart of the continent. By the dawn of the 21st century, their world had shrunk to a tiny zone southeast of the capital, Niamey, stretching barely 150 miles long. Their numbers dwindled so low that in 1996, they numbered a mere 50. Instead of disappearing as many feared, though, the giraffes have bounced miraculously back from the brink of extinction, swelling to more than 200 today. It’s an unlikely boon experts credit to a combination of concerned conservationists, a government keen for revenue, and a rare harmony with villagers who have accepted their presence — for now. The first time the trucks came for the giraffes in Koure was more than a decade ago, during the reign of an army colonel who seized power in a 1996 coup. Col. Ibrahim Bare Mainassara was adamant they would make a good gift for the president of neighboring Burkina Faso and he ordered several captured, said Omer Kodjo Dovi of the Niamey-based Association to Safeguard the Giraffes of Niger. But “the giraffes went into a panic,” Dovi said. “They couldn’t outrun the trucks.” The animals weigh up to 2,200 pounds (1,000 kilograms) and can run at speeds up to 35 miles per hour (55 kilometers per hour). But if they fall, they can have difficulty getting up and die. Dovi said five were captured. Three died on the spot; two were believed shipped to Burkina Faso.

Nobody knows if they ever made it. By 1998, Niger’s government — pressed by conservation groups — began to realize the herds were about to disappear forever. Authorities drafted new laws banning hunting and poaching. Killing a giraffe became punishable by five-year jail terms and fines amounting to hundreds of times the yearly income of farmers. The changes had a startling effect: by 2004, the herds had nearly doubled in size. The government “realized they had an invaluable biological and tourism resource: the last population left in West Africa,” said Jean-Patrick Suraud, a French scientist with the Association to Safeguard the Giraffes of Niger. In 2004, though, the trucks came again — this time on a mission for President Mamadou Tandja, who ordered a pair captured for the dictator of neighboring Togo. Four vehicles barreled down the two-lane highway toward the giraffe zone. Inside them were Togolese soldiers, government forestry rangers and three local guides, according to the independent local newspaper Le Republicain, which reported the incident and published photographs. “They did it like cowboys,” said Suraud, who began working in Niger in 2005. “These are big animals, fragile. They can easily die of stress.” The giraffes were tied up, blindfolded, tranquilized and hauled onto the

There are nine subspecies of giraffes in Africa, each distinguished by geographic location and the color, pattern and shape of their spotted coats. The animals in Niger are known as Giraffa camelopardalis peralta, the most endangered subspecies in Africa. They have large orange-brown spots that fade into pale white legs. Ten years ago, an estimated 140,000 giraffes inhabited Africa, according to Julian Fennessy, a Nairobi, Kenyabased conservation expert. Today, giraffes number less than 100,000, devastated by poaching, war, advancing deserts and exploding human populations that have destroyed and fragmented their habitats. Around half the giraffes live outside game parks in the wild, where they are more difficult to monitor and protect, Fennessy said. Giraffe hunting is prohibited in many countries. And some, like Kenya, have taken giraffe meat off the menu of tourist restaurants that once served them up on huge skewers. Even so, Fennessy said the plight of giraffes has largely been overlooked in conservation circles.

In Africa, giraffe skin is used for drums, watertight bowls, even shoes. Their bones are employed as grinders and some believe they can help bring rain. Mounkaila, the guide, said some villagers believe the hair on giraffe coats can induce fertility. The villagers living around Koure, though, think giraffes are mostly useless, Suraud said. They aren’t domesticated, and they can’t be hunted for food. So the Association to Safeguard the Giraffes of Niger tries to teach peo-

ple it’s in their interest to keep them around. “We tell them, ’if you are pro-giraffe, we can support you, give you loans,”’ Suraud said. “But there is a quid pro quo. ’We also want you to stop chopping down their bushes and plant trees.”’ With 10 staff and help from private European zoos and the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, the Giraffe Association has built wells, planted trees and educated guides like Mounkaila who make a living escorting visitors through “the giraffe zone” — the fenceless region the animals trek through.

of pollution, and mink near Lake Michigan don’t reproduce because of dioxin and PCBs, or polychlorinated vinyls, Birnbaum said. Amphibians are disappearing all over the world, for a combination of various and sometimes still unknown reasons. The real issue, though, is that science looks at animals and people differently. In animals, we look for immediate events, like mass fish die-offs. In people, we look at the long-term chronic effects, like cancer. Rarely do we study cancer or other chronic effects in wild mammals, Birnbaum said. It’s also worth noting that different species have different tolerances to toxicity. Seth Borenstein Q.

has been developed to take care of waste? “It’s extremely complicated,” said Ed Lyman, senior staff scientist with the Union of Concerned Scientists. “Nuclear waste is a mixture of many different radioactive isotopes, all with specific properties. No one-size-fits-all solution exists to convert those into less hazardous materials,” he said. Lyman said the problem with reprocessing spent nuclear fuel is that it can be hazardous, expensive and time-consuming — taking thousands of years to fully recycle the waste. And there’s another big potential problem, Lyman said: Plutonium that can be generated by the process can be used to make a nuclear bomb. Kraft said that, for now, waste can be safely stored at nuclear power plant sites or central facilities.

Political pressure builds on Hagan BY ROB CHRISTENSEN THE NEWS AND OBSERVER

RALEIGH – After an intense three-month campaign for the votes of North Carolina’s House members, players in the health care debate including business, labor and the administration are now likely to focus their full attention on Sen. Kay Hagan. Hagan, a moderate, probusiness Democrat, is regarded as one of a handful of senators who could play a pivotal role in the coming weeks as the Senate takes up the landmark

legislation to expand access to health insurance. Although Hagan supports passage of a health care bill, she has suggested a willingness to compromise. A health care bill passed the House narrowly Saturday. Now the Obama administration faces an even tougher fight in the Senate. Majority Leader Harry Reid must keep his bloc of 60 votes united for a bill to pass. That gives individual senators significant leverage in shaping the legislation and makes their loyalties a prize. “There is enormous

pressure on Senator Hagan,” said Adam Searing, a health care expert at the N.C. Justice Center, a Raleigh-based group pushing for broader health care coverage. Hagan has already been the subject of television commercials by the pharmaceutical industry, two mailers by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina and hundreds of pickets at her Raleigh district office. On Monday, Hagan reiterated her support for the plan passed this year by the Senate Health Committee on which she serves.

Veterans seek funds for van program BY MATT SHAW MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS SERVICE

WILSON – Most mornings, often before the sun rises, vans leave Wilson for hospitals and clinics in Durham, Raleigh and Greenville. They are typically carrying seven or more veterans to doctors’ appointments and hospital treatments beginning at 8 a.m. In the afternoons, veterans ride the same vans back and are never asked for a dime.

Nearly 500 local residents depend on this transportation, said Eddie M. Price, adjutant of Disabled American Veteran’s Chapter 8. Some don’t have vehicles while others aren’t well enough to drive. “Then there are some who are simply afraid of driving in the Raleigh and Durham traffic in the morning,” Price said. “It can be awfully heavy.” The chapter has two vans, a handful of volunteer drivers, and a need for funds for vehicle maintenance, fuel and other items to keep this

network running. The van program serves the Veterans Administration Hospital in Durham and VA outpatient clinics in Durham, Raleigh and Greenville. The Durham-Raleigh route is run once every weekday and Saturday, while the Greenville route is run most days. The program has around seven volunteer drivers, but it could use 20 to spread the work around, Price said. The only pay is the gratitude of the veterans, “which makes it all worth the while,” he said.

George Carlin’s autobiography is colorful BY JOHN ROGERS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

n 1987, when he was 50 years old, George Carlin decided the time had come for an autobiography from the groundbreaking comedian who had famously said “The Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television.” Five years later, Carlin was 100 pages along, only up to age 6 and beginning to realize that if he lived another five years (not all that likely given that he’d already suffered a few heart attacks), his book would be at least a thousand pages long. So he turned for help to his friend Tony Hendra, the former National Lampoon editor and author of the best-selling memoir “Father Joe.” The pair recorded more than 50 hours of conversations over the next 10 years and were still working on the book’s text when Carlin’s fifth and final heart attack killed him last year at age 71.

BOOK REVIEW

---

The result of their efforts, “Final Words,” reads much like a Carlin routine always sounded. It’s fast-paced, at times outrageously funny, always filled with four-letter words and, if it begins to drag a bit here or there, you hang in anyway because you know Carlin will be back on track in a minute or so. Carlin takes the reader in chronological order from the earliest days of his childhood in New York City’s Morningside Heights, then a rough-and-tumble white neighborhood adjacent to the black section of Harlem, up to just a couple of years before his death. Overall, to the serious Carlin fan at least, there are few surprises here, as much of what’s in the book Carlin has made reference to in interviews or routines over the years.

THE HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS perform at 2 p.m. March 21 at the Greensboro Coliseum, 1921 W. Lee St. Tickets begin at $20 and are available online at www. ticketmaster.com

50 years: Kansas town grieves ‘In Cold Blood’ deaths

OLCOMB, Kan. (AP) – It’s one of America’s most haunting crime stories: four members of a Kansas family brutally murdered on Nov. 15, 1959, at their rural farmhouse. The slayings of the Clutters – chronicled in Truman Capote’s book, “In Cold Blood” – have overshadowed the town of Holcomb for the past half century and the trial and execution of the culprits has brought little, if any, closure. For many townsfolk, the wounds have been slow to heal partly because of Capote’s critically acclaimed, nonfiction novel that spawned a new literary genre. The book has been reviled in its birthplace by residents because of its recreation of events that never happened and what they say is commercial exploitation of the victims. The subsequent movies have also been unpopular here. “They made a tremendous amount of money off our great tragedy,” said Bob Rupp, who as a teenager dated Nancy Clutter. The horrific slayings of Herbert Clutter, a prominent farmer and community leader, and his wife, Bonnie Mae Fox, along with their children, 15-year-old Kenyon and 16year-old Nancy, shattered the innocence of a generation accustomed to leaving their doors unlocked. The hunt for their killers – parolees Dick Hickock and Perry Smith – mesmerized the nation,

drawing journalists from across the country to this rural outpost on the Kansas prairie. Then when Capote’s book hit the shelves, it forever linked the small town with a crime now known around the world. Alan Schwartz, a longtime friend of the author, said many Holcomb residents didn’t really grasp that Capote was not writing a purely factual account but was using the basis of facts to show what it was like to live in such a town and confront this crime. “It is different than what they expected, but it is a work of art. It is not simply a matter of historical reporting. ... I can imagine that a lot of people who were freaked out by what happened in the middle of Kansas never understood that,” Schwartz said. “The book stands on its own as a major work of American literature and a major description of how a small town dealt with an incredible, horrible tragedy,” he said. When Holcomb residents gathered recently to dedicate a memorial to the Clutters, a lingering bitterness against Capote’s book intermingled with an unwavering sense of loss for their beloved neighbors. “I wish the book had not been written. I didn’t like the book – the little bit I read,” said Shirley Clutter. Her father-in-law was Herbert Clutter’s brother.

In Ana’s own words: “The Hermanas program and the staff of the Latino Family Center were there for me when I felt as though the whole world had left me behind. They helped me make the right decisions in my life through the information they taught me. Every time I stumbled, Hermanas brought me back.

CNN finds prime-time success elusive NEW YORK (AP) – The latest rough patch for CNN illustrates the two contradictions at the network’s heart. In a brutal time for the news business, CNN is one of the few media organizations thriving while its most visible part in the United States – prime-time on the flagship network – is hurting. The company has built its brand on nonpartisan reporting, while CNN’s audience tilts Democratic as much or more as Fox News Channel’s audience is Republican. CNN’s average primetime audience was third behind Fox and MSNBC during October, and it was even eclipsed by sister network HLN among younger viewers, according to the Nielsen Co. Perhaps more ominous, CNN finished well behind Fox when big news was breaking – Election Night and the Fort Hood massacre. Big stories usually sent viewers flocking to CNN.

Tax-credit extension is positive step toward recovery WASHINGTON – The National Association of Realtors commends the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives for passing a bill that includes an extension and expansion of the current home buyer tax credit as an important step in ensuring a real estate and economic recovery. “Realtors appreciate the swift action by Congress to extend the home buyer tax credit and expand it to some current homeowners,” said NAR President Charles McMillan, a broker with Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate in Dallas-Fort

Worth. “As the leading advocate of housing and real estate issues, we urge President Obama to sign this legislation into law quickly to keep the momentum going in the fragile recovery of the nation’s housing market.” McMillan praised the efforts of several senators to put the recovery above politics. They are Sen. Johnny Isakson, (R-Ga.); Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.); Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.); Sen. Chris Dodd (DConn.), chairman of the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee; and Sen. Joe Lieber-

man (I-Conn.), chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. NAR economists estimate that the current tax credit has contributed approximately $22 billion to the general economy, and approximately 2 million people will take advantage of the tax credit this year. “The substantial rise in home sales we’ve seen over the past few months proves that the tax credit is working and is being used by buyers who were waiting for the right opportunity to get into the market,” McMillan said. “This important incen-

tive is helping to stabilize the housing market, stimulate the economy and create new jobs in communities all across our great nation. Extending and expanding the home buyer tax credit will enable even more families to take advantage of current low interest rates and affordable prices to invest in their future through homeownership.” wThe bill would extend the present $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers through April 30, 2010. Current homeowners are eligible for a $6,500 tax credit through April 30,

provided they have lived in the home they are selling, or have sold, as principal residence for five consecutive years in the past eight years. If potential home buyers have a binding contract on or before that date, they will have until July 1 to close the transaction. Income limits for eligible home buyers are expanded to $125,000 for single buyers and $225,000 for couples. The purchase price of the home cannot exceed $800,000. To help guard against fraud, buyers are required to attach documentation of purchase to their tax return.

Stable housing market triggers others purchases CONTACTS –

he question on everyone’s lips is, “When are things going to return to normal in real estate?” Well, if the “normal” being referred to is the conditions and shady financial dealings that created the artificially inflated markets of five years ago, then we need to be thinking about redefining “normal.” The bad lending practices of the past are indeed making it more difficult now to secure financing, but try to understand that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

The days of lower standards and easy money are what led us into this predicament in the first place. It’s good for housing and for REAL ESTATE the economy when Jeannene banks become Poarch interested in ■■■ whether loans will be repaid. In the “new” normal, home prices will stabilize, the number of sales will start gaining, and more people will again realize

the benefits that homeownership offers, for both personal and financial security. With historically low interest rates, affordable prices, government incentives and motivated sellers, the housing market is already experiencing the initial signs of recovery. All of these factors combine to get first-time buyers excited about a purchase. As these consumers enter the market, they will trigger other purchases, and the chain of transactions grows.

Tips help buyers avoid budget-busting spending habits A couple in their 50s found it tough to stick to their budget until they talked to a financial planner. What emerged from the conversation was their desire to buy an elegant 1920s-era house in a city neighborhood served with gourmet restaurants and entertainment venues. “All of a sudden the idea of doing serious budget planning made sense. The struggle was over because they had a big goal to work toward,” says Steve Juetten, the couple’s financial planner. To buy and refurbish the city property, the couple first had to fix up and sell their small one-level suburban home – a place they’d bought years before for its strong neighborhood schools. But with the kids off at college, suburbia had lost its allure and the city beckoned. So they phoned their real estate agent and soon sold the suburban place. “Unless you know what’s important to you, a budget is like a ship without a destination. On the other hand, a values-based spending plan is a powerful tool,” says Juetten, who’s affiliated with the Garrett Planning Network (www. garrettplanningnetwork.com). After clarifying their financial goals, many people realize that moving to a better home is their top financial aspiration, says Judy Lawrence, a budget coach and author of “The Budget Kit: Common Cents Money Management Workbook” (Kaplan Publishing). Here are a few pointers for those who need to cut their spending to save for their first home or a move-up property: • Track and then trim your expenses. The technique of doing a budget, often called a “spending plan,” isn’t difficult but does require close attention to detail, Lawrence says. “You have to become very mindful about your spending. That’s because many people wanting to buy a home must first accelerate their credit card payments and build up their savings accounts to meet their down payment and closing cost needs, as well as their moving expenses,” she says. Before deciding where you can and can’t curb your spending, you must first see clearly where your money is now going. You don’t need an elaborate software program for this. Personal finance specialists say that a pencil-and- paper system is often your best bet when creating a budget, especially if you’re a novice at the process. “Look at your recent checking account and credit card statements and then write down what you’ve spent for the last three months, breaking your expenses into two broad groupings: mandatory and discretionary,” Lawrence says. Mandatory costs include items like car

payments and child care expenses. Discretionary items include restaurant tabs and clothing outlays. After tracking your prior spending, search within the discretionary section for low-priority items that REAL ESTATE could be cut. “Having a spending plan that works is about Ellen delayed gratification. A Martin budget is simply a way ■■■ to control small expenses now so you can savor bigger pleasures later,” says Lawrence, who offers money management tips on her Web site: www. moneytracker.com. • Avoid budget busters on the way to your money goal. Obviously, it’s not enough to create a spending plan if you don’t stay on track and remain faithful to it. That means depositing money in savings every time you get paid and avoiding temptations to veer off course. Lawrence recommends that people trying to stay on a tight budget jot down all their expenditures as they make them. This should increase your awareness of where your money – including cash outlays – is going. Then make sure you enter all these expenses in your budget book. Are you a shopaholic who gets a high from making purchases but later wonders why you bought all that nonessential stuff? If so, Lawrence urges you to follow the “24-hour rule.” When going shopping (for anything but food), leave your cash and credit cards at home. Make your selections, but allow yourself at least one full day to decide what items are truly essential and then return to the store to purchase only these. • Contain your food-away-from-home costs and gift expenses. It’s no secret that many people overspend due to frequent visits to coffee shops like Starbucks – recently prompting that chain to offer new brews for frugal folks. But many people still remain unaware of how much they’re spending for weekday lunches and fine dining. Nearly every financial adviser recommends that clients take a close look at their eating-out expenses. As Lawrence says, many people find this a black hole and realize, upon reflection, that more cooking at home could dramatically reduce their food expenses. She also urges clients to be extremely watchful about gift-giving. Birthdays and holidays cause many to let go of their purse strings for emotional reasons.

Survey: 5 percent of Americans plan to buy a home next year NEW YORK (AP) – Just one in 20 Americans say they plan to buy a home within the next year, and they’re most likely to be 34 years old or younger and living in the South or West, according to a survey released Wednesday. Roughly a quarter of potential buyers said the No. 1 reason they would buy now is because prices appear to have bottomed out. That reason topped bargain-priced foreclosures, worries about rising interest rates and a wide selection of homes. The survey, conducted for Move.com, a real estate listings site, reveals how Americans are responding to a nascent and fragile housing recovery after three years of staggering price declines. The percentage of buyers thinking of jumping into the market was down slightly from a March survey, but up about 1 point from a poll in June. Home prices rebounded this summer at an annualized pace of almost 7 percent, according to the Standard & Poor’s/ Case-Shiller home price index. But with high unemployment and foreclosures clouding the picture, economists debate whether prices will dip again. Recent housing figures and homebuilder earnings support a stabilizing housing market, and concerns about the expiration of federal homebuyer tax credit are moot after Congress last week extended and expanded the credit. Buyers who have owned in their current homes for at least five years are eligible for tax credits of up to $6,500, while 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. The survey was conducted before the credit extension. Those surveyed widely favored federal policies that kept interest rates low and helped troubled homeowners avoid foreclosure over those that helped first-time homebuyers purchase a home. And, overall, 48 percent of those polled didn’t think the government was doing enough to stabilize the housing market, whereas 42 percent thought it was. Forty-five percent of Americans worry that they or someone they know will face foreclosure in the next year. And almost 30 percent of those with a mortgage have contacted their lender in the past year to reduce their payments. One of the survey participants, Joe Handley of Harrington, Del., called his lender last December to consolidate a second mortgage and cut his interest rate from 6.75 percent to 5.25 percent. “We wanted to build up our savings for emergencies,” the 37-year-old said. His timing was prescient. In July, Handley, who works in the information technology department for the State of Delaware, took a pay cut and the $400 monthly savings from the new loan has helped cushion the blow. Almost a quarter of Americans who refinanced their mortgages have used the savings for living expenses or paying down debt, the survey found. Less than 9 percent are putting the savings toward investment or retirement. The telephone poll, which included about two-thirds homeowners and onethird renters, was conducted in October by market research firm GfK. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
