Number of emergency room visits is higher, doctors say. 1B
BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – There are hundreds of pages of legislation in the latest health care reform bill passed by the Congress last week, mirroring the hundreds of negative ways that doc-
tors say the health care meltdown has affected healthy living habits in North Carolina. Just ask Dr. John McSadden. As a physician at High Point Family Practice, he has seen the number of yearly checkups, mammograms, colonoscopies and other forms of preventative care appointments plummet along with the unemployment rate. “People are postponing a lot of things they would have normally done, especially those who have lost their jobs, but even those who
haven’t,” he said. “People are taking chances by not following up.” He suspects that many of his patients are dodging their appointments to save money in a tough economy. Some have lost their health insurance and can’t afford to visit the doctor’s office. Others are trying to trim costs. “This year, in particular, almost everyone is asking to switch to generic medicines for anything they may be on,” he said. “Every day, I

Home-related industries see effects from tax credit BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – Buyers and real estate agents may not be the only ones benefitting from the First Time Home Buyer’s Tax Credit. The tax incentive money goes straight into the hands of homebuyers, but some home-related industries have reported small, ripple effects from the program, which has been extended to April 30, 2010.
“Whenever there is a lot of moving from one home to another, we see an effect,” said Kerry Jones, owner of Huffman Paint and Wall Coverings at 762 N. Main St. Huffman said his business, which has been open for 59 years, hadn’t seen a major impact from the tax credit yet due to the type of homebuyers it targeted before it was extended and modified by the House on Nov. 5. Today’s first-time
buyer most likely will buy a newer home that is already updated, leaving little room for paint or remodeling, he said. Since the program was expanded to include a $6,500 credit for previous buyers who have lived in their home for five out of the past eight years, he expects his business will see more results. “We’ve been hit twice as no one was moving and no one was remodeling,” he said. “I’m hoping every day that (the tax credit) gives us more business in the future.” In addition to putting paint on the walls, buyers also may begin to put new
furniture on the floors, according to furniture industry analyst Jerry Epperson. “It’s hard to judge the effect because business has been so bad lately,” said Epperson, a financial analyst for investment banking and corporate advisory firm Mann, Armistead & Epperson Ltd. “There’s no question that the tax credit has been helpful to the business.” The best part about the tax credit is that it gives people money they put into their homes, such as buying new furniture, he said. A sign of activity in the furniture industry may be
evident in the current Furniture Insights, a monthly report compiled by Smith Leonard PLLC. New orders were up seven percent in August from July, according to the report, which also shows a 15 percent increase in shipments from July to August. “The results for August, while not great, at least began to move in a better direction,” said Ken Smith, who publishes the report. “This has got to help us, and we expect to see an effect in the future,” Jones added about the tax credit. “It’s bound to lead to more business.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617
Hiring for the holidays reaches low ebb Before you read...

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
TRIAD – What a sobering difference 10 years can make. In 1999, near the end of several years of American economic expansion, U.S. employers provided seasonal holiday retail jobs to 849,400 workers, according to the national employment consulting company Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. The number of seasonal positions in retail trade added from October through December of 1999 was up 8 percent from the previous year.
This holiday season, amid one of the worst economic times since the Great Depression, U.S. retailers will be fortunate to surpass the 384,300 HIRING FOR THE seasonal jobs HOLIDAYS added last year. The number of 2009 seasonal seasonal jobs employment in 2008 was off forecast 47 percent from ■■■ the holiday season of 2007, the Chicago-based consulting company reports. Last year was the worst for holiday season hiring nationally
in 20 years, Challenger, Gray & Christmas reports. Job service officials in Davidson, Guilford and Randolph counties said earlier this month that they had received few listings for local seasonal positions this year. “While there have been some signs that the recession may be over, conditions have remained dismal for retailers. As a result, employers in the sector have announced 89,242 job cuts through August, an 82 percent surge from the 48,971 retail job cuts recorded in the first eight months of 2008,” Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported in its annual holiday hiring outlook issued in September. One possible hopeful sign is that economic conditions have improved gradually as this year

Authorities acting on tip search for missing girl
DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

At right, Jeremy Cronin, with a High Point Police Department escort, was the first finisher of the GO FAR run. He attends Southwest Middle. The GO FAR program was started in 2003 and was designed to highlight the problem of childhood obesity in the U.S. and to keep the kids moving. The program promotes physical activity, healthy eating and good character.
FAYETTEVILLE (AP) – Authorities acted on a tip Sunday and searched a wide area in south-central North Carolina trying to find a 5-year-old girl reported missing by her mother, who has been charged with human trafficking and child abuse involving prostitution. Capt. Charles Kimble of the Fayetteville Police Department said several agencies spent the day looking for signs of Shaniya Davis between Spring Lake and Sanford, which are about 25 miles apart. Kimble would not elaborate on what information officers had received. They suspended the search at dark. The area included woods and some homes, police said. “We’re following up on a tip. It seems to be good, so we’re out there looking,” Kimble said. The N.C. Highway Patrol sent a helicopter to aid in the search, Lt. Everett Clendenin said. Shaniya hasn’t been seen since Tuesday, when a surveillance camera recorded the man charged in her
kidnapping carrying the girl into a hotel room. Earlier Sunday, authorities arrested Antoinette Nicole Davis, Shaniya’s mother. The charges against Davis are related to her daughter’s disappearance, said Theresa Chance, a spokeswoman for Fayetteville police. According to arrest documents cited by The Fayetteville Observer, Davis “knowingly provide(d) Shaniya Davis with the intent that she be held in sexual servitude” and she “permit(ted) an act of prostitution.” Shaniya had only been living with her mother since last month. Davis reported the girl missing Tuesday morning from a mobile home community in Fayetteville, and authorities began searching nearby wooded areas. Camera footage showed Mario Andrette McNeill carrying Shaniya into a hotel room, and he was arrested and charged with kidnapping on Friday. A kidnapping charge against a man described as Davis’ boyfriend was dropped.

Penn-Griffin to chronicle school’s history on stage BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – Students and teachers at Penn-Griffin School for the Arts want to celebrate the long history of their school with a Feb. 16 play. And they know the community may have something to offer. The school’s history dates back to 1890, when the Quakers established schools in High Point devoted to educating blacks. The institution was first named the High Point Normal and Industrial School, and was administered by the Quakers until 1897. In that year, Alfred J. Griffin became principal. “We know there may be little available from that period, but we are looking for community residents to offer something from their time at the school and information about people they knew,” said Linda Willard of the school’s guidance department. At its height in the early 20th
century, the industrial school on Washington Street had a faculty of nine teachers who taught trades and academics and, with 287 students, maintained a large farm. When the city took over the campus in 1923, it became William Penn High School. “We are looking for information on the school leaders through the years and famous students,” Willard said. “We also may use some imagination and interpretation to fill in some gaps.” Jazz legend John Coltrane learned to play saxophone at William Penn. Among school graduates are Sammie Chess, a prominent black attorney and federal judge. Others include sisters Brenda Jean Fountain and Miriam Lynn Fountain, who on Feb. 11, 1960, participated in a sit-in at the F.W. Woolworth store on S. Main Street. The High Point sit-in is believed to have been the only one planned and carried out by high school students.

sit down with a patient with a copy of the WalMart pharmacy $4 list so they can go from a $10 prescription to a $4 prescription. It’s very noticeable that people are really trying to save every dollar that they can.” Dr. Lee Nunn, who owns a dentistry practice in the city, is seeing the effects of the recession in her patients’ smiles – literally. “As families have lost one or two household incomes, often times dental insurance becomes a luxury they have to cut from their budget,” she said. “Sadly, some of our patients are forced to have an infected tooth
extracted rather than corrected with a root canal or a crown in hopes they can have it replaced in better times.” Cosmetic and elective surgeries in particular, such as bleaching, veneers and cosmetic bonding, have declined, she said. But postponing medical needs that matter, including preventative checkups, may end up costing patients more down the road, McSadden said. “If someone postpones those things and ends up in the hospital, it’s going to be way more expensive than a check-up,” he said. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Alaska man convicted of robbing mom at gunpoint ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – A 27-yearold Anchorage man has been convicted of robbing his mother at gunpoint because she didn’t give him money to help pay a $430 parking ticket. The Anchorage district attorney said Friday that Cheng Saelee (SAY’-lee)
was also convicted of illegally contacting his mother from jail and trying to get her to drop the charges. Prosecutor Gustaf Olson says Saelee was arrested in November 2008 after he became angry during an argument with his parents, got a handgun from his room and pointed the
weapon at his mother’s head. He is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 19 and faces up to 12 years in prison. Olson says Saelee might also be deported to Thailand after he serves his sentence. The ticket was for abandoning a vehicle.

JOHN HOOD: Legislature keeps raising cost of doing business here. TOMORROW
Opinion Page Editor: Vince Wheeler vwheeler@hpe.com (336) 888-3517

Failures of Congress got us into this mess Days of “livin’ in high cotton” will return. A promise of a chicken in every pot, a new electric car in every drive and a 401(k) that keeps going up, that’s what will lead us there. High cotton is more of a state of mind, of financial security than a location on a map. No one knows how far down the road we make that turn to high cotton, but we’ll get there. This is America. Before that day returns, we need to fix a few things, so that we don’t return to these sorry days. Our problems stem from a Congress that had a “contract” on the American worker. Laws they made sent our factories overseas, removed the Glass-Stegall Act that made possible this financial mess, tax breaks to their best friends. Today we are living the results of that well-executed contract. The laws they should have gotten done – the McCain-Kennedy bill on immigration, health care reform, campaign finance reform – they stonewalled. They failed us. Like drug addicts, we imported Mexican workers for our benefit. Poultry and meat processors, home builders, land developers and even the Social Security Administration gained tremendous wealth off the backs of illegal workers. In 2007, because of the Hispanic worker, wages were depressed by $1.2 billion dollars in North Carolina alone. Who got that money? If your answer is to deport them all, I’ll tell you a secret; you can find them at church on Sunday mornings. Some insurance monopolies keep 38 cents of every dollar spent; that’s wrong. Lack of campaign finance reform gives big business too much clout over our representatives. Not understanding the Hispanic influence takes away from our wages and taxes. We need to get educated, not manipulated. Without these reforms, the days of livin’ in high cotton are kicked farther down the road. Pray for peace. JAMES BRIGHAM High Point

Sometimes, we struggle through life’s gray areas
T
hey killed a killer last week. I kept waiting to feel something when news came that John Allen Muhammad had been executed in Virginia. As a staunch opponent of capital punishment, I wanted some nugget of remorse at the knowledge that the government had taken his life. But Muhammad’s 2002 sniper attacks hit close to home. He terrorized millions of people in the greater Washington area, where I live, made us fear to gas up our cars, walk in parking lots, wait on buses, made my grandson scared to go trick-or-treating, even wounded a friend of my youngest son. So I could not manage remorse. Indeed, what I felt was an unsettling, appalling satisfaction that Muhammad is no longer in the world. I still remember the last time an execution caused my emotions to so thoroughly misalign with my convictions: it was in 2001, when Timothy McVeigh was put to death. When I argue against the death penalty, I tend to lean on a few salient points: it is far costlier than life imprisonment; it is biased by class, race and gender; it is
irreversible in the event of error. I use those arguments because there is ample statistical evidence to back them up, and because they are OPINION irrefutable. But I have one Leonard other problem with Pitts the death penalty: ■■■ it’s wrong. It debases us. The power of life and death is too awesome to be left in human hands. And here, I know, the abortion opponent wonders how I can square that with support for abortion rights. The answer is simple: I can’t. Like, I suspect, most pro-choice people, my support for abortion rights hinges upon a visceral rejection of the idea that government can compel a woman to bear a child that she, for whatever reason – rape, incest, deformity, poverty – chooses not to. I suspect I am also like most pro-choice people in being squishy and irresolute about the fact that a human life hangs in the balance of that decision. I suspect we find it easier to think of it as a potential
human, not a real one – an oops without a name. None of this, by the way, is tendered as apology or even justification. Rather, it is simply to observe that where the awesome power of life and death are concerned, “most” of us are guilty of inconsistency. The classic liberal position, after all, opposes capital punishment and supports abortion rights, the latter often rationalized along the lines of the fractured logic above. The classic conservative position, meanwhile, opposes abortion rights and supports the death penalty, glossing over with equally fractured logic the fact that innocents will be (indeed, “have been”) executed. With the exception of the Catholic Church, then, and a few other outposts of religiosity, none of us is consistent on these issues of life and death, all of us ignoring truths that indict our deep convictions, striking bargains with conscience in the name of a good night’s sleep. Into that irresolution falls the execution of John Allen Muhammad. ... And what am I to say? I hate the death penalty, but this

guy’s rampage touched my life, frightened my children, so I’m OK with it? What kind of sense does that make? None, of course. It is, if anything, just proof of my humanity – and all the contradictions attendant thereto. It is our nature to seek certitude and resolution, but life is messy and untidy, doesn’t always fit neatly into the boxes we build for it. There are days when being staunch offers no clarity, days when certitudes feel like platitudes and you can no more grab resolution than you can grab smoke. From our trenches of fixed opinion, we thunder at one another so readily that it is disconcerting when you are forced to wander the gray places between, to acknowledge complexities our certainties don’t always allow us to see. It can give you pause. I submit that’s not the worst thing in the world. LEONARD PITTS JR., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

Reports: Iran ex-deputy minister jailed in Israel TEHRAN, Iran – An Iranian former deputy defense minister who has been missing for nearly three years was abducted by Israeli agents and is now being held in Israel, several Iranian news Web sites reported Sunday. Ali Reza Asgari, a retired general who served in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, disappeared while on a private trip to Turkey in December 2006. In March of this year, a former German Defense Ministry official said Asgari had defected and was providing considerable information to the West on Iran’s nuclear program.
Iraqi official threatens to veto vote law BAGHDAD – Iraq’s Sunni Arab vice president threatened Sunday to veto the country’s election law unless changes are made giving Iraqis living abroad more guaranteed seats in parliament, throwing the January vote into question. The veto threat comes a week after lawmakers passed the long-delayed legislation, paving the way for national polls in January. Any delay in the voting could derail a U.S. plan to withdraw combat troops from Iraq, a process scheduled to ramp up following the election.
U.N., Islamic bank make $1 billion farming deal ROME – Funding from an Islamic bank will help develop agriculture in poor countries, a U.N. food agency said Sunday ahead of a summit to discuss the so-far elusive goal of reducing the number of hungry people in the world. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, which is hosting the three-day summit starting today, said it had reached a deal with the Islamic Development Bank for $1 billion in funding to help develop agriculture in poor countries that belong to both organizations.
Death toll in El Salvador storms rises to 192 SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador – Salvadoran authorities say at least 192 people were killed by floods and landslides that swept through the country last week. El Salvador’s Civil Protection agency says in a statement that 89 of the victims were killed in the state of San Vicente, where days of heavy rains caused mud and boulders to sweep down the side of the Chichontepec volcano before dawn a week ago. The agency said Sunday that dozens more remain missing. It says that more than 14,000 Salvadoran have been affected by the floods and mudslides that were indirectly linked to Hurricane Ida’s passage through the region.

No. 2 fugitive mob boss nabbed in Sicily ROME – Italian officials say police have captured one of Sicily’s top Mafia fugitives. Domenico Raccuglia is considered the No. 2 member of the organized crime group Cosa Nostra, and is listed as one of Italy’s 30 most dangerous fugitives. Interior Minister Roberto Maroni hailed his arrest Sunday as “one of the hardest blows� delivered to the Sicilian Mafia in the last few years. Police arrested Raccuglia in an apartment in a tiny town in western Sicily near Trapani, where investigators say they believed he had his stronghold. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

JERUSALEM – Palestinian officials said Sunday they are preparing to ask the United Nations to endorse an independent state without Israel’s consent because they are losing faith in the peace talks. The idea appeared to be largely symbolic. The U.S., Israel’s closest ally, would likely veto any initiative at the United Nations, and Israel controls the areas where the Palestinians want to establish their homeland. Nonetheless, the move reflected growing Palestinian frustration with the deadlock in peace efforts.

Democrats, GOP split on N.Y. trials of alleged terrorists
AP
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn speaks regarding the Thomson Correctional Center and the possibility of the facility housing Guantanamo Bay prisoners, Sunday, in Moline, Ill.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Bringing those accused in the Sept. 11 attacks to New York for trial would increase the security threat to the city and give radical Islamists a platform to propagate their ideology, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Sunday. Giuliani’s view that the Obama administration is
erring in trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others near the site of the World Trade Center was echoed by other Republicans on the Sunday news programs. Democrats defended the decision of Attorney General Eric Holder to try the five in New York. If someone murders Americans in this coun-
try, they should be tried in the U.S., said Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. “I don’t think we should run and hide and cower. Let’s use our system,� Leahy said. Republicans argued the five are war criminals and should be tried in the military tribunals where other Guantanamo Bay detainees will be judged.

Health care industry feels the pain of recession. 1A BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – A rising number of visits to the emergency department at High Point Regional Hospital could be a product of patients putting off preventative care appointments in order to save money, some physicians say. Dr. John McSadden said he has seen patients putting off yearly check-ups and blood tests at High Point Family Practice, where he serves as a physician, in efforts to save funds in a down economy. Putting off those appointments may only accrue additional costs and problems in the future, he said, and statistics from High Point Regional Health System may back up that claim. The hospital has recorded a 3.17 percent increase in emergency department visits compared to last year, said Chad Campbell, a spokesman for the health system. “We’ve seen an influx of patients with flu-like symptoms, and it’s also due to an overall economy issue,” he said. “More individuals who are unemployed and do not have insurance are coming to the emergency room. In addition, we have seen a number of patients who are putting off treatment and regular checkups and are extremely ill when they do come in.” While individuals are trying to save funds or find new ways to receive health care, McSadden said postponing appointments can add to the problem. “Whenever someone ends up in the emergency room, it’s going to be more expensive,” he said. Visits to the emergency department can be particularly expensive to the hospital due to the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, which requires hospitals and ambulances to assist anyone in need of emergency care regardless of citizenship, legal status or ability to pay. High Point Regional’s inpatient and outpatient statistics also have increased for the year, with a 6.34 percent increase for inpatient visits and a 3.14 percent increase in total discharges. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Cyclists leave High Point Regional Hospital to embark on the “Today We Ride for Dave” tribute. David Sherman, a vice president at Sealy Inc. in Trinity, was killed by a hit-and-run driver while riding his bicycle on Oct. 24.
Cyclists honor one of their own BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – About 500 cyclists turned out for a ride to honor of one of their own Sunday in High Point. At about 1 p.m., cyclists started to assemble for “Today We Ride for Dave” – a tribute for David Sherman, who was killed in a cycling accident in Guilford County last month. Sherman, 55, was vice president of Sealy Inc. in Trinity. The ride started and finished at The Fitness Center at High Point Regional Hospital. “He was a great guy – very dedicated, very determined,” said Rodney Simpson, who organized the ride with three other cycling enthusiasts – Robert Lippitt, Duncan Chapman and Don Shaw. Simpson, a coordinator at The Fitness Center, coached Sherman for about a year. On Oct. 24, Sherman was riding his bicycle on N. Church Street north of Greensboro

Rodney Simpson views picture of his fallen friend David Sherman who was killed in a cycling accident last month. near N.C. 150 when a vehicle traveling northbound steered left of center and hit him headon. In connection to Sherman’s death, Eden resident Grayson Dawson has been charged with felony hit and run and death by vehicle.
For many of the cyclists, the ride had triple meaning: paying tribute to Sherman, promoting safety awareness among cyclists and the public, and making sure justice is sought for who is responsible in Sherman’s death. “We rode a great deal with Dave,” Shaw said. “We could think of no better way to pay tribute to him than have a bike ride and invite hundreds of our closest friends to participate.” Two separate rides – 25and 50-mile routes – were held Sunday, taking cyclists through Randolph County and the Caraway Mountain area. Cyclists who participated in the event were encouraged to make donations in Sherman’s name to Yield to Life, a cycling safety advocacy group. Those who did not attend the event can send a check to High Point Bank, attn: Don Shaw, 312 Main St., High Point, NC 27261. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657
Annual gift campaign begins this week ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE
Students get civics lesson Mayor Becky Smothers visited Mrs. Nance’s class at Shadybrook Elementary School recently after being invited by student Marli Hess. Marli’s homework assignment was to find out who is the mayor of High Point, and when she found the answer on the Internet, saw that she could e-mail Smothers. The mayor responded that evening and accepted the invitation. Smothers talked about the history of High Point, told them about the city’s ongoing sesquicentennial celebration and quizzed them on general knowledge of the city.
HIGH POINT – An annual campaign to bring holiday cheer to the needy gets under way this week. The 21st annual “FOX8 Gifts for Kids” campaign kicks off on Tuesday. The program collects gifts for The Salvation Armies of the Piedmont. “It’s no surprise that with the current economic environment, the number of families needing help this Christmas is more than ever” said Capt. Tony Perez with The Salvation Army of High Point. “Every toy or donation to ‘FOX8 Gifts for Kids’ will enable The Salvation Army to help families in need, right here in the Piedmont.”
YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.
New, unwrapped gifts can be dropped off at the FOX8 WGHP studios at 2005 Francis St. in High Point until Dec. 15. Gifts also can be taken to any Lowe’s Home Improvement Warehouse and North State Communications stores in the Piedmont through Dec. 9. The Salvation Armies will pick up the gifts collected and bring them to their warehouses for distribution to families in need. Anyone needing assistance should contact their local Salvation Army. Last year, “FOX8 Gifts for Kids” helped The Salvation Armies serve more than 20,000 children in the Piedmont at Christmas.

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) – Serbian Orthodox Church Patriarch Pavle, who called for peace and conciliation during the Balkan ethnic wars of the 1990s but failed to openly condemn extreme Serb nationalism, died Sunday. He was 95. There have been reports of an internal struggle over who would succeed Pavle, a respected theologian and linguist known for personal humility and modesty. The favorite is influential Bishop Amfilohije, a hard-liner known for his anti-Western and ultra-nationalist stands. The seven-million member church said its highest body, the Holy Synod, could announce Monday when Pavle’s successor will be chosen. At least 40 days must pass after Pavle’s death before a new patriarch can be elected. Pavle took over the church in 1990 just as the collapse of communism ended years of state policy of repressing religion. He often spoke against violence in the ethnic wars Orthodox Serbs fought against Catholic Croats and Bosnian Muslims during the bloodiest conflict in Europe since World War II.

As N.C. families struggle, college aid panel meets RALEIGH (AP) – Families across North Carolina and state government felt the same financial pressures this year as they cobbled together paths for children to get a college degree. More parents needed outside help to send their kids to school as the state’s unemployment rate hovered near 11 percent, tuition and fees rose and family college investments tumbled in value. At East Carolina University alone, financial aid needs for in-state undergraduate students soared from $98 million last year to $135 million this year, according to
Wife draws line in bedroom in battle over smoking
D
ear Abby: My wife of 25 years, in an effort to get me to stop smoking, refuses to have sex until I quit. It’s been more than a year since we made love. I love my wife with all my heart, and I always will. I plan to stop smoking but not this way. She will not give in (or give out). I don’t want to think of sex as her weapon, but it is. Any advice on how to cope with my unwinnable battle? – Desperate in Arlington,Texas Dear Desperate: Yes. You mentioned you plan to quit smoking, so why not start now? The letter below could have been written expressly for you. Once you no longer reek of stale tobacco, your wife may rediscover her passion and both your problems will be solved. Read on: Dear Abby: On Nov. 19, 2009, the American Cancer Society is celebrating the 34th Great American Smokeout, and we want to encourage your readers who smoke to quit. Research shows that smokers who quit can significantly increase their life expectancy. A smoker who quits at age 35 gains an average of eight years of life expectancy. A person who quits at 55 gains five more birthdays to spend with loved ones. Smokers who stop before age 50 cut their risk of dying in the next 15 years in half com-
pared with people who continue to smoke. Ten years after quitting, the lung cancer ADVICE death rate is about Dear half of that Abby of someone ■■■ who continues. Quitting smoking is not easy. People often have to try several times before they are successful. But the American Cancer Society is here to help. We have been making great progress in this country when it comes to people getting the message about not smoking -- in fact, adult cigarette smoking declined to 19.8 percent in 2007. Smokers who want to quit can call the society’s Quit for Life program operated and managed by Free & Clear at (800) 2272345 to speak with trained counselors who can help them develop a quit plan and set a quit date. The American Cancer Society and Free & Clear have helped a total of 1 million tobacco users in their attempt to quit smoking. As the official sponsor of birthdays, the American Cancer Society is fighting for every birthday that’s threatened by cancer in all communities. We hope you will join us in our movement to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays by sharing the message that the Great
American Smokeout is the PERFECT day to make a plan to quit or to use as a quit date. Quitting smoking is one of the most important steps anyone can take to create a world with more birthdays. – Dr. Alan G. Thorson, National Volunteer President, American Cancer Society Dear Dr. Thorson and Dear Readers: I am pleased to once again spread the word about the Great American Smokeout, a subject that has appeared in this column many times. Tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of death in the U.S., and one-third of all cancer deaths could be prevented if people simply avoided tobacco. The Great American Smokeout Web site (www.cancer.org/ GreatAmericans) contains user-friendly tips and tools to help smokers quit and remain smokefree. Quitting is the most precious gift you can give yourself and the people who love you. The Countdown Clock and Craving Stopper downloadable desktop applications are two of the free resources available to help you on the path toward quitting. Good luck!

CHARLOTTE – Family and friends reported Sunday that a 20-year-old Myers Park high graduate died in China from an unknown cause while working an internship for a financial services company. Adam Bennett had been in south China near Hong Kong since Nov. 4, family and friends said. He was supposed to be working there until February. His mother, Sharon Bennett, said he had been ill
off-and-on from an early age. Her son started taking violin lessons at age 4 and played the National Anthem at age 6 to start the 1997 Charlotte Hornets’ professional basketball season. But his neurological disorder robbed him of his violin skills by age 10, she said. She said he believed in charity and good works and would go to a soup kitchen on Thursday nights and give money and clothes to those in need. Bennett’s Facebook page filled up this weekend with messages of disbelief at his death.

me proud to be a member of such a distinguished brotherhood. FIREHOUSE I would like to CHAT send out a special Lee thanks to Knight all who â– â– â– assisted with the honor guard and the Greensboro, Colfax and Guil-Rand fire departments, which sent trucks and firefighters to help cover stations so on-duty personnel could attend the funeral. On Nov. 8, a beautiful Sunday afternoon, Chad Green, a family man and distinguished firefighter, was laid to rest. As I listened to the ringing of the bells, which signified that his duty was done and Chad had answered his last call, I was saddened. As a firefighter for Union Cross and High Point, he gave his all to both communities. His death is a loss to all who knew him. When Squad 4, the truck Chad rode, responds to a call, you cannot help but wonder if Chad is looking down and smiling. Rest in peace, Chad. 24/7/365: You call; we respond.

ragedy became personal recently when the fire department lost one of its own. Chad Green was a fire equipment operator with the High Point Fire Department and a deputy chief with the Union Cross Fire Department. He died unexpectedly Nov. 4 after returning from a call with the Union Cross Fire Department. Chad was a valuable asset to both departments and well respected by his peers. He was a brother to his fellow firefighters, a caring husband and father of two beautiful children. We mourn his loss and pray for his family as they struggle to come to grips with this unforeseen tragedy. In my 30-plus years in the fire service, we have always considered ourselves a brotherhood. Firefighters are a close-knit group that is always willing to help each other, but since Nov. 4, I have truly experienced what that brotherhood means. The overwhelming show of support from fire departments all over North Carolina is something we will never forget in High Point. I wish I had space in this column to list all those who honored Chad and showed their support. I want to thank every one of you who showed heartfelt support. It was a humbling and enlightening experience that makes

Vitamin D deficiency is common

ear Dr. Donohue: My doctor told me that my vitamin D level is low, and put me on high-dose replacement for eight weeks. The count was slightly lower after I took the treatment. She has me on the same high dose for another eight weeks. What causes vitamin D deficiency? Can a tumor drain you of this vitamin? My mother was losing her bone density, and one doctor found that she had a brain tumor. After it was removed, she recovered, but she had to take vitamin D for a long time. – J.S.
BLONDIE
Sunlight produces a change in a skin precursor substance that transforms this substance into vitamin D. The liver and kidney both work on skinmade vitamin D to change it a bit more so that its activity reaches a peak. For most, a deficiency of this vitamin comes from getting too little sunshine. Furthermore, older people’s skin loses some of its power to produce the vitamin. Vitamin D is found in few foods, so that makes it difficult to get sufficient amounts of it from the diet. In winter, people living in the northern third of the U.S. and all of Canada produce close to zero vitamin D. These factors are responsible for most of its widespread deficiency. I know of no tumor that drains vitamin D. I believe your mother’s deficiency was simply a matter of two different conditions existing at the same time. If this second go-around with high vitamin D doses doesn’t restore your level, the doctor has to look for

Not only Dr. Paul does vitaDonohue min D en■■■ hance the absorption of calcium to keep bones strong, it is believed to lower the risk for many cancers and for heart attacks and diabetes. It also boosts the immune system – a busy vitamin, is D. The recommended daily intake of vitamin D is about to be increased to 1,000-1,200 IU. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. That means it needs some fatty food for optimal absorption, so it’s quite acceptable to take the vitamin at mealtime. Foods with a supply of it include sardines (3 ounces, 650 IU), herring (3 ounces, 575 IU), mackerel (3 ounces, 300 IU) and fortified milk (1 cup, 100 IU), and a cup of fortified orange juice has the same as milk. Dear Dr. Donohue: Some of my friends used Coumadin and some use aspirin for blood thinners. What is the difference between them? What are their side effects? – L.P. Blood thinners don’t really thin blood; they make it less able to clot. Coumadin is a powerful anticoagulant, and it’s prescribed for those at high risk of forming clots. People with the heart-rhythm disturbance atrial fibrillation are usually put on
Coumadin because their hearts are prone to developing clots. Blood tests have to be done regularly to make sure patients are getting enough but not too much. It works by stopping liver production of clotting factors, proteins necessary for clot formation. Bleeding is its most serious complication. Aspirin has a multitude of uses – pain relief, fever reduction and inflammation control. It also dampens clot formation by keeping blood platelets from sticking together. Platelets are the smallest blood cells, and are necessary for clot formation. Stomach irritation, ulcers and bleeding are among aspirin’s side effects. Aspirin is frequently used to prevent heart attacks and strokes. Dear Dr. Donohue: I see black specks in my visual field. They move all around when I move my eyes. I was told they are floaters. What can I do about them? Will they go away? – J.Y. Floaters are bits of debris, worn-out proteins or old red blood cells that are floating in the viscid fluid, the vitreous that fills the back two-thirds of the eye. They cast a shadow on the retina when the eyes move, and they look like black specks. They’re annoying. There is no treatment. People learn to ignore them. I have had them since the eighth grade. Sudden showers of floaters indicate the retina is detaching from its mooring, and it requires immediate attention from an eye doctor.

The money tree Hospice to benefit from raffle at local florist BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – The irony is not lost on Ben Davis. In 2007, he and Bob White – Davis’ life partner and his business partner at Lazy Daisy Floral Creations – sponsored their first annual fundraiser for Hospice of the Piedmont, in which they sold tickets for a chance to win an elegant, professionally decorated Christmas tree. The 2009 fundraiser is under way now, but with a sad twist: White died earlier this year – ironically, at Hospice Home at High Point. “This year’s tree is in memory of him,” Davis says softly. “He may be gone from this world, but he’ll never be gone from our hearts.” Tickets to win this year’s tree – which is valued at more than $2,000 – can be purchased for $7.50 apiece, with all proceeds benefiting Hospice of the Piedmont. The drawing will be held at noon on Dec. 12. The tree, which was decorated

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.
Davis recalls that White had been ill during last year’s fundraiser, but he was able to come to the drawing. Less than a month later – on Jan. 10 of this year – White died at Hospice Home of High Point, where he had been a patient for five days. He was 69. For Davis, the days White spent at Hospice Home affirmed his already strong feelings about the Hospice organization. “Hospice went way above anything we could’ve asked for,” Davis says. “They’re the most precious people God ever put on this earth to be able to deal with what they deal with every day. There were two ladies over there, Danielle and Laura, who were just angels. I still make deliveries there sometimes, and I’ll stop in, and every time I walk in the front door it’s like I never left at all – they greet me and hug me as if Bob was still there.” For more information about the fundraiser, call Lazy Daisy Floral Creations at 889-2800. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Russ Ekeblad’s team, seeded 13th, steamrolled the field to take the Spingold Teams, the main event at the ACBL Summer NABC. In the final, Ekeblad, Matt Granovetter, Ron Rubin and Dutchmen Jan Jansma, Louk Verhees and Ricco van Prooijen overwhelmed Rose MELTZER, 138 to 65. EKEBLAD took the lead in today’s deal. NorthSouth bid to 3NT (North’s 2NT was conventional), and van Prooijen, West, led a diamond, won in dummy. Meltzer, declarer, took the ace of clubs and let the nine ride. To play to drop the queen was against the odds with East’s hand known to be short in diamonds.
KILLING SHIFT West won and found the killing shift to a heart. East won and returned a heart, and South had to fail. At the other table, the play at 3NT began the same way, but when Dave Berkowitz, West for MELTZER, took the queen of clubs, he tried a shift to the queen of spades though East was unlikely to have six spades, or good spades plus an entry. South won and led a diamond to assure nine tricks.

CROSSWORD
Monday, Nov. 16, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Maggie Gyllenhaal, 32; Oksana Baiul, 32; Lisa Bonet, 42; Dwight Gooden, 45 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: It’s your success that will give you the satisfaction you want. Now is the time to push hard and to let everyone know where you stand and what you are capable of doing. A residential move or transformation that will help you out financially will let you get things back on track and lessen your load. Your numbers are 4, 10, 16, 22, 38, 45, 48 ARIES (March 21-April 19): There is a lesson to be learned when dealing with financial matters that will be valuable to you if you’re being pressured to spend. You can expect the dynamics of a relationship you are in to change because of money issues. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t let other people’s demands stop you from achieving your goals. You may feel like you are being torn in different directions, uncertain of where you stand and how you can reach your destination. However, if you stay focused, you will end up in the right spot. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A job someone wants you to do will conflict with your personal plans. Don’t make a snap decision without evaluating the consequences first. A loss may set the stage for things to come if you don’t make the right choice now. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): A chance to get ahead professionally and personally is apparent if you network or get involved in industry events that pertain to something you want to pursue. Your ability to pull things together will enhance your reputation and bring you recognition. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be careful not to offend someone or you may cause personal problems. Travel or getting involved in a learning or spiritual experience will help you make an important decision. Make improvements that will help you feel good about yourself. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Not everything will go according to plan but, if you explain your situation and what you are trying to accomplish, you will get the support you need to proceed.

Let go of old habits so you can move forward. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t jump the gun or try to get out of something using witty words or exaggerated stories. Secrets will be considered a form of lying and evasiveness will make someone think you are a coward. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The people you work with and for will appreciate your industrious nature. The little extras you offer others will pay off in advancement and trust. Take the route that is most intriguing even if it pays less. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Stop dreaming about the past or what might have been. Focus on the here and now. Pull yourself together and start down the long and narrow road that leads to selfpreservation and marketable skills. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Partnerships are a good way to make your money stretch – by sharing the costs both personally and professionally. Travel so you can meet face- to-face with someone to discuss serious matters. You will not be disappointed in the results. ★★★★★

No huddle, no problem Panthers pick up pace, ground Falcons CHARLOTTE (AP) – The Carolina Panthers might have finally found a way to solve Jake Delhomme’s woes: controlled chaos. A heavy dose of miscues from Matt Ryan and banged-up Atlanta didn’t hurt, either. The Panthers unleashed a nohuddle offense on Sunday with Delhomme calling the plays, and it produced two touchdown passes to Steve Smith, no turnovers and a 28-19 victory over the Falcons. “No huddle is controlled chaos,” said Smith, who tripled Carolina’s touchdown total by wide receivers coming into the game. “You’ve got defenses running around and they don’t know what they’re doing.” While Delhomme went turnover-free for the third straight game following 13 interceptions in his first six, it was a difficult day for Ryan and the Falcons (5-4). First, they lost running back Michael Turner to a second-quarter sprained ankle after he already rushed for 111 yards. Then kicker Jason Elam and Ryan stymied their late comeback hopes with key fourth-quarter mistakes. Ryan, throwing too high much of the day, had two more

Carolina’s Jonathan Stewart (28) runs past Atlanta’s Mike Peterson for a 45-yard touchdown late in the second half of the Panthers’ 28-19 win in Charlotte. Stewart rushed for 82 yards and two TDs for the Panthers. interceptions He’s at 12, one more than all of his stellar rookie season. With Ryan completing only 7 of 19 passes in the first half, the Panthers (4-5) built a 21-10 halftime lead. Delhomme looked poised and the Falcons
struggled to get the right defensive personnel on the field. Delhomme, no longer the NFL leader in interceptions after Jay Cutler’s struggles with Chicago, found Smith on a pair of 4-yard TDs and was
in his comfort zone. The Panthers’ offense wasn’t as successful after halftime, and the game wasn’t sealed until Richard Marshall picked off Ryan, setting up Jonathan Stewart’s 45-yard touchdown run with 2:07 left.
Earlier, Elam missed a 34-yard field goal that would have given Atlanta the lead. It allowed the Panthers to hold on despite losing the cog of their offensive line, left tackle Jordan Gross, to a broken right ankle.
Johnson wins, cruises into Homestead AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Jimmie Johnson rebounded from a rare bad race with a dominating victory at Phoenix International Raceway that pushed him to the edge of a NASCAR record fourth consecutive championship. Johnson led 238 laps Sunday to win for the fourth time in the last five races at Phoenix. It was his seventh victory of the season, and fourth since the start of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. More important, it stretched his lead to 108 points over Hendrick Motorsports teammate Mark Martin heading into the finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Johnson needs to finish 25th or better next week to grab a spot in
NASCAR’s record books. Although his Hendrick team initially celebrated as if the title had been locked up, the No. 48 crew quickly settled down Johnson in Victory Lane. “I can’t put my guard down,” Johnson said, “anything and everything can go wrong.” It did a week ago in Texas, where Johnson was caught in a wreck three laps into the race and had to sit inside his disabled race car as his crew did a total rebuild of the Chevrolet. He limped to a 38th-place finish that cost him 111 points in the standings.
It still left him with a 73-point lead over Martin headed into Phoenix, but Johnson refused to play it safe and coast to the win. He raced hard all weekend, intent on bouncing back with a dominating showing in the desert. Martin finished fourth, respectable but not the showing he needed to move closer to the championship that has eluded him his entire NASCAR career. The sentimental favorite this year will likely finish second in the final standings for a fifth time. “We gave it everything we had,” Martin said. He’s the only driver still in mathematical contention to catch Johnson. Fellow Hendrick driver
Jeff Gordon will be eliminated as soon as Johnson starts next Sunday’s race, and Johnson’s win at Phoenix knocked everyone else out of contention. Martin, however, is refusing to concede to Johnson and said he won’t let up next week in Homestead as he tries to at least stave off Gordon for second in the final standings. But should Johnson coast to the win, Martin will be fine. Jeff Burton finished second and was followed by Denny Hamlin, Martin and pole-sitter Martin Truex Jr. Kurt Busch, winner last week at Texas, finished sixth. Clint Bowyer was seventh, followed by Juan Pablo Montoya, Gordon, and David Reutimann.
Deacons sprint past Pirates BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
GREENSBORO – Wake Forest made quick work of East Carolina on Sunday, but acknowledged more work is needed. The Deacons jumped to an 11-2 lead, never let the Pirates get closer than five after the opening minutes and rolled to an 89-58 victory at the Greensboro Coliseum. Al-Farouq Aminu paced Wake with 23 points, the most spectacular on a reach-around steal and floating dunk in the second half. Ish Smith added 14 points and Tony Woods recovered from an opening-night struggle to tally 12. Even though Wake never really was threatened, leading 46-28 at
halftime, going up by as many as 36 and holding the Pirates to 24.6 percent (14-of57) field-goal shooting, coach Dino Gaudio and his players acknowledged probAminu lems in three areas. Wake helped keep the Pirates relatively close in the first half by sending them to the free-throw line. Of ECU’s 28 points in the first half, 17 came on foul shots. ECU also held a 43-31 rebounding advantage, two days after Wake (2-0) dominated Oral Roberts 51-25 on the boards in a 76-56 opening-night win on Friday. Lastly, Wake was spotty from the free-throw line, hitting 17-for-27 while ECU wound up 27-for-40.
“I thought our defense was outstanding, but we gave up too many offensive rebounds,” Gaudio said. “We have to do a better job playing defense without fouling. We can’t play defense when they are shooting free throws.” Wake did most of its offensive damage inside, picking up 58 points in the paint. The Deacon defense also forced 22 turnovers. “As well as we played, we need to play better defensively and work on our free throws,” Smith said. “The fouls were ridiculous.” ECU coach Mike McCarthy contributed to the rout. He was whistled for a technical while walking off the floor at the end of the first half. C.J. Harris made both free throws at the start of the second
half to start an 8-2 run that upped the margin to 54-30. Brock Morgan led the Pirates (11) with 17 points. Darrius Morrow added 12 and Chad Wynn had 11. “I know it’s hard to be encouraged when you get beat that badly, but we did some things,” McCarthy said. “We have to learn to take care of the ball, and we’ve got to really run the floor in defensive transition.” Smith recorded the first and second dunks of his career. One that seemed mild was hard enough to light up the backboard when it made the light that signals the end of a half pop on. “That was crazy,” Smith said. “It was a good feeling to dunk, but it is still just two points.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

igh Point University senior goalkeeper Marisa Abbott left an indelible mark on the Panther women’s soccer program. Abbott, from Troy, N.Y., sparked the Panthers on an unforgettable postseason run that nearly produced an upset for the ages. After earning Big South Tournament-MVP honors in leading the seventh-seeded Panthers to three wins and an unlikely crown, Abbott kept the defending national champion Tar Heels off the scoreboard for nearly
70 minutes in Friday’s NCAA Tournament first-rounder in Chapel Hill. Abbott and her teammates turned back UNC time after time, until Carolina broke through on its 26th shot of the game en route to a 1-0 victory. In their two previous NCAA Tournament first-round battles, the Tar Heels won 8-0 in 2003 and 6-1 in 2007. This time, the Panthers gave the Heels all they wanted.
Abbott’s 14 saves gave her 134 for the season and 259 for her career, both HPU Division I records. She finishes her Panther career as the school’s D-I leader in single-season and career wins, shutouts and saves. I offer a tip of the cap to Abbott and the rest of the Panthers’ players and coaches for a job well done. Nice going, ladies.

Manny Pacquiao put on another dominating performance late Saturday night in Las Vegas, knocking down Miguel Cotto twice and turning his face into a bloody mess before finally stopping him 55 seconds into the 12th round of a 145-pound world title bout. Pacquiao used his blazing speed and power from both hands to win his seventh title in seven weight classes and cement his stature as the best pound-forpound fighter in the world. Pacquiao improved to 50-3-2 with 38 knockouts. Cotto fell to 34-2. On the undercard, Yuri Foreman, an aspiring rabbi, outpointed Daniel Santos over 12 rounds to win the WBA portion of the 154-pound title.

Labonte lands ride for 2010 AP
North Carolina’s Will Graves shields the ball from Valparaiso’s Brandon McPherson during the second half of Sunday’s game in Chapel Hill. Graves and the Tar Heels grabbed an 88-77 victory.
AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Former NASCAR champion Bobby Labonte has signed a deal to drive for TRG Motorsports next season. Labonte has already raced five times for TRG this season, and will finish the year in the No. 71 Chevrolet for a total of seven races. The car will be sponsored by TaxSlayer.com for roughly half the season. Team owner Kevin Buckler said on
Saturday that he’ll try to use multiple companies to fill the rest of the schedule. Labonte drove for Hall of Fame Racing for most of this season in a car that was run out of Yates Racing. Team officials replaced him for seven events this year to give developmental driver Erik Darnell some seat time. That freed Labonte to work a deal with TRG.
Tar Heels tame Tiger puts on a show Crusaders, 88-77 to win Down Under
CHAPEL HILL (AP) – Roy Williams had promised there would be times when his North Carolina team looked ready to make a serious run at defending the national championship. And then there would be days like Sunday, when the Tar Heels commit “silly” turnovers, don’t put opponents away and lack intensity. It’s why Williams was so irked by the time the Tar Heels had finished a tougher-than-should’ve-been 88-77 win over Valparaiso. He saw his team blow much of a 24-point second-half lead and look a little shaky after a promising start to the season. And with his team preparing for a tough stretch which begins with a trip to New York to play No. 16 Ohio State on Thursday in the 2K Sports Classic, Williams wasn’t shy in letting his team know it has to play much better. “We have no chance in New York if we play this kind of basketball,” Williams said flatly. It just wasn’t coachspeak, either. Sure, the Tar Heels (3-0) won each game by double digits this week, but their performance against the Crusaders (0-2) didn’t offer a lot to feel good about. They committed 14 turnovers despite playing against a zone defense much of the game. Their defense repeatedly gave up several baskets on backdoor cuts, with several coming against their big men who are having to defend more of the court as smaller teams spread the floor. Valparaiso made 12 3-pointers, includ-
ing a 7-for-10 performance during a second half in which the Crusaders shot 53 percent and quietly inched their way back into the game. Perhaps most alarmingly, North Carolina didn’t show a huge sense of urgency against a determined team that just wouldn’t quit. Perhaps it has something to do with the number of young players who are inheriting prominent roles with the departures of Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington from last year’s title team, a point illustrated by some of the players’ comments afterward. “I could feel it coming a little bit,” fifth-year senior Marcus Ginyard said. “In warmups, we didn’t seem like we had that pep in our step. Nobody was really talking. We just didn’t have that intensity and it showed.” Deon Thompson scored 16 of his 20 points after halftime to lead the Tar Heels, while sophomore Ed Davis had a career-high 16 points. North Carolina led just 38-31 at halftime, but scored on 12 of 13 possessions to build a 67-43 lead midway through the second half and look on its way to another easy win. But Valparaiso hung around, pulling as close as 84-75 on a 3-pointer from Brandon McPherson with 1:47 left before the Tar Heels finally closed it out. Brandon Wood scored a career-best 30 points and hit six 3-pointers for the Crusaders, while McPherson finished with 20 points.
DCCC drops tough 81-69 battle in Chapel Hill ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
CHAPEL HILL – Davidson County Community College led by three points with six minutes to play before dropping an 81-69 decision to the North Carolina Junior Varsity on Sunday afternoon in the Smith Center. The Tar Heels held the Storm (2-3) scoreless over
the final six minutes to pull out the win. “We missed four contested layups during that span,” said DCCC head coach Matt Ridge, a UNC alum. “But the kids gave outstanding effort and I’m proud of them. If we keep playing like that, we’ll do some good things this season.” “Being here sure
brought back some good memories,” he added. Justin Glover led the Storm with 18 points and eight rebounds. Roderick Geter added 15 points for DCCC, while A.J. Finney scored 11 and Eric Potts had 11 points and seven rebounds. DCCC plays host to the Belmont Abbey JVs on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Cavaliers blank Wolfpack for ACC men’s soccer title SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE
CARY – Virginia recorded its eighth consecutive shutout, blanking N.C. State 1-0 Sunday afternoon to win the 2009 ACC Men’s Soccer Championship at WakeMed Soccer Park. Freshman forward Will Bates put the fifth-seeded Cavaliers (14-3-3) on the board at the 15:12 mark in the first half. Behind stingy play by the defense and an MVP performance by goalkeeper Diego Restrepo, one goal was all Virginia would need to win its 10th ACC title and its first since 2004. Virginia outshot State 15-8, but was
unable to pull away as Wolfpack goalkeeper Christopher Widman recorded four second-half saves. The Cavaliers extended their unbeaten streak to 11 contests entering the NCAA Tournament, which will begin on Thursday. No. 20 State (13-6-2), which competed in the title game of the ACC Championship for the first time since 1990, is looking for its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2005. Widman, who starred at Ragsdale High, joined teammates Alan Sanchez and Ronnie Bouemboue on the all-tournament team. Zack Schilawski and Andy Lubahn made the team from Wake Forest.

Cincinnati running back Bernard Scott (left) leans for extra yardage as Pittsburgh linebacker James Farrior makes the tackle on Sunday in Pittsburgh. The Bengals won 18-12 to complete a season sweep of the Steelers.
Bengals smother Steelers PITTSBURGH – Finally after 40 years of being pushed around and dominated by the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cincinnati Bengals refused to be bullied any more. The Bengals beat the Steelers at their own game in their own stadium, relying on a defense that smothered Ben Roethlisberger and the Super Bowl champions by holding them to four field goals, and using one big special teams play for an 18-12 victory Sunday that put them in control of the AFC North. Shayne Graham kicked four field goals in the second half even as the Bengals (7-2) failed to convert opportunity after opportunity to take control. Bernard Scott’s 96-yard kickoff return in the first quarter proved pivotal as Cincinnati, despite playing the second half without ace running back Cedric Benson and failing to convert on the extra point after Scott’s score, followed up a 23-20 win over the Steelers (6-3) on Sept. 27. By sweeping the season series for the first time since 1998, the Bengals effectively lead the division by two games because they own the tiebreaker and, for the first time in their history, a 5-0 division record.
DOLPHINS 25, BUCS 23 MIAMI – Chad Henne directed a 77-yard scoring drive in the final 1:10, and Dan Carpenter kicked a 25-yard field goal with 10 seconds left. Henne spoiled the Bucs’ comeback led by Josh Freeman, who rallied his team in the fourth quarter for the second time in two NFL starts. The rookie shook off an awful first half and led his team to a pair of late touchdowns. The Dolphins (4-5) won despite losing running back Ronnie Brown to a right ankle injury in the third quarter. The Bucs fell to 1-8.
SAINTS 28, RAMS 23 ST. LOUIS – Reggie Bush helped the unbeaten New Orleans Saints overcome another bundle of mistakes and get off to the best start in team history. Bush scored twice for the first time in more than a year and Drew Brees compensated for two interceptions with two touchdown passes in a 28-23 victory over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. Courtney Roby opened the second half with a 97-yard kickoff return and Robert Meachem’s 27-yard grab early in the fourth quarter gave New Orleans (9-0) just enough breathing room to tie the franchise record with nine straight wins.
VIKINGS 27, LIONS 10 MINNEAPOLIS – Brett Favre passed for a season-high 344 yards, 201 to Sidney Rice, and Detroit lost
for the 31st time in 33 games. The Lions (1-8) joined the Houston Oilers, from Nov. 21, 1982 through Nov. 4, 1984, as the only NFL teams to lose 31 games in a 33-game stretch, according to STATS. They’ve played tough this season several times, as the Vikings can attest, but after a slew of injuries in this game and more poor pass coverage they dropped their 12th straight at the Metrodome. Adrian Peterson lost a fumble but turned 18 carries into 133 yards and two TDs for Minnesota (8-1).
REDSKINS 27, BRONCOS 17 LANDOVER, Md. – The Washington Redskins broke the 17-point barrier for the first time this season and ended a four-game losing streak. The Broncos lost their third straight and had to play the second half with Chris Simms at quarterback after Kyle Orton left with an ankle injury. Denver (6-3) has struggled since opening the season with six wins. Ladell Betts scored on a 1-yard run with 2:44 to play. With Clinton Portis sidelined after suffering a concussion in last week’s loss at Atlanta, Betts made his first start since 2006 and ran for 114 yards on 26 carries. Jason Campbell completed 17 of 26 passes for 193 yards for the Redskins (3-6). The 27-point outburst was their greatest since Week 2 of last season.
CHARGERS 31, EAGLES 23 SAN DIEGO – LaDainian Tomlinson scored twice to continue his climb up the career rushing and scoring lists, and San Diego pulled into a tie atop the AFC West. Tomlinson gained a season-high 96 yards on 24 carries to pass Thurman Thomas and Franco Harris and move into 12th place all-time with 12,145 yards. His two touchdowns gave him 146 and moved him past Marcus Allen and into third place on the all-time list. The Chargers and Broncos, both 6-3, play next Sunday in Denver. Donovan McNabb threw for a season-high 450 yards, completing 35 of 55, and two late touchdowns for Philadelphia (4-5). Eagles running back Brian Westbrook was knocked out with another concussion. He had missed the previous two games after a concussion during a win against Washington on Oct. 26.

team went 6-6. The Trojans then went 82-9 between 2002-08, winning at least a share of seven straight Pac-10 titles. Though USC has not been eliminated from Pac-10 title contention, it will be the Trojans’ first season with more than two losses since 2001. Only Texas with 153 consecutive poll appearances has a longer streak than USC. The Trojans have a week off before playing UCLA on Nov. 28. No. 11 Oregon moved up three spots, No. 12 Oklahoma State jumped five and No. 13 Penn State gained six places. Stanford made the biggest move up of all the ranked teams last week, gaining 11 spots. Iowa held its spot at No. 15 and was followed by Virginia Tech, Wisconsin, Clemson, BYU and Oregon State, which moved into the rankings for the first time this season at No. 20. Miami dropped nine spots to No. 21 and was followed by USC, Utah and Houston – all of which lost Saturday. No. 25 Rutgers also moved into the rankings for the first time this season.
TCU STUCK IN FOURTH IN BCS NEW YORK – TCU’s big victory wasn’t enough for the Horned Frogs to make a move up the BCS standings. TCU (10-0) on Sunday remained behind Florida, Alabama and Texas in the race to the national title game. The Horned Frogs defeated Utah 55-28 on Saturday in what figured to be the most difficult game left on their schedule. But they remained stuck in fourth place in Bowl Championship Series standings. TCU, from the Mountain West Conference, last week became the first team from a league without an automatic BCS bid to break into the top five of the standings. Cincinnati is in fifth and Boise State is sixth.

NEW YORK (AP) – After another humiliating loss, Southern California tumbled to its worst ranking since Pete Carroll’s Trojans began their run as one of college football’s best programs in 2002. USC is No. 22 in The Associated Press Top 25 released Sunday, dropping 11 spots after losing 55-21 to Stanford. The Trojans have been ranked in 128 consecutive media polls dating to the start of the 2002 season, but never this low. The Trojans haven’t been ranked lower than No. 13 since October 2002. Meanwhile, Stanford soared up the rankings to No. 14, its best showing since being No. 11 in the last regular-season poll of 2001. Florida remained No. 1 and Alabama leapfrogged Texas into the No. 2 spot, one of only two small changes to the top 10. The Gators received 36 first-place votes. Alabama received 14 firstplace votes after its most convincing victory – 31-3 at Mississippi State – in more than a month. Texas got 10 first-place votes. The Crimson Tide and Longhorns are separated by just five points. The other three undefeated major college teams were next, with TCU at No. 4, Cincinnati at No. 5 and Boise State No. 6. No. 7 Georgia Tech and No. 8 Pittsburgh also held their places. No. 9 Ohio State and No. 10 LSU flip-flopped for the only other change in the top 10. For USC, the lopsided loss to Stanford marked the second time in the last three games the Trojans were handed the worst loss of the Carroll era. Oregon beat USC 47-20 in Eugene on Halloween night. The latest embarrassment happened at the Coliseum, where USC has lost only two of its last 49 games – both times to Stanford. Carroll’s first USC

GE joins Chinese firm to compete in aircraft industry THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
General Electric’s aviation unit is teaming with Aviation Industry Corp. of China to develop and market electronic systems for commercial aircraft customers, including the C919 narrow-body aircraft that China hopes will compete with jets made by industry giants Boeing and Airbus. The goal is to launch the new China-based company by mid-2010, subject to regulatory approvals. GE Aviation provides jet engines, parts and systems for current commercial and military aircraft, and the AVIC joint venture will offer electronics and services for future commercial aircraft
programs. GE has more than 12,000 employees currently based in China. Financial terms of the partnership weren’t disclosed. The signing of the deal came as President Barack Obama landed in Shanghai, kicking off his first trip to China, the world’s third-largest economy and the biggest foreign holder of U.S. debt. The joint venture will create 200 jobs in the U.S., said Lorraine Bolsinger, president and CEO of GE Aviation Systems, in announcing the deal in Beijing on Sunday. “Our participation has the potential to grow hightech jobs in the U.S., in addition to creating bilateral industrial cooperation with
China,” she said. “Our immediate focus is to jointly bid the best, competitive solutions to compete for the COMAC C919 narrow-body aircraft program and then get ready for the next generation of Boeing and Airbus products.” Bolsinger noted that China is the world’s fastest-growing aviation market. China in September showcased the C919, its newest and biggest commercial jetliner that the nation is betting can boost its fledgling aviation industry to compete with Western rivals. The narrow-body, single-aisle C919 is scheduled to take its maiden voyage in 2014 before being delivered to buyers in 2016. The project is a major first
step by China toward developing homegrown commercial planes, along with the research and technology capabilities, for its fast-growing domestic market rather than relying on foreign companies. It would also pave the way for international expansion. Also in development by Shanghai-based COMAC is a 70 to 110-seat ARJ-21 passenger jet, designed for the local market. Last year, GE Commercial Aviation Services signed a deal to order 25 of ARJ-21s. GE is supplying the engines for the project. Fairfield, Conn.-based General Electric last month reported third-quarter profit growth in part because of strong global sales of aircraft engines.
Investors to continue tug of war NEW YORK (AP) – There’s a tug of war in the financial markets between investors who believe the economy is on its way to a strong recovery and those who believe a rebound is likely to be slow and bumpy. The result: a spate of volatility in stock trading that’s likely to continue this week. “That wide divergence in opinion can lead to wide swings in market prices,” said Greg Walker, an investment strategist in JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s private banking division. For the past several weeks, upbeat investors have dominated the market, helping stocks move higher. However, the market’s momentum is only as strong as the latest economic or earnings report. This week brings reports including readings on retail sales, manufacturing, housing starts and

inflation. The Labor Department also provides its weekly look at unemployment benefits claims. Tom Villalta, lead portfolio manager of the Jones Villalta Opportunity Fund, said economic reports are playing a
heavy role in the day-today gyrations of the market as investors look for evidence to back up their views on the recovery. “It’s a matter of bolstering one side over another,” Villalta said. “People are taking anything that
comes out to bolster one opinion or another.” Monday’s Commerce Department report on October retail sales is likely to set the tone for the week. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters predict retail sales rose 0.8 percent in October after a 1.5 percent drop in September. Analysts generally agree stronger consumer spending is needed for any rebound. And disappointment is likely to send stocks falling. “A steady stream of mediocre news from the consumer sector does not translate into high numbers for the stock market,” said Mike Schenk, senior economist for the Credit Union National Association. Meanwhile, major retailers reporting third-quarter earnings will have their own take on the consumer. Home Depot Inc., Target Corp. and TJX Cos. are among those reporting.
NEW YORK (AP) – Citigroup Inc. said Sunday that it is selling its controlling stake in Japan’s leading call center operator, Bellsystem24, to private equity firm Bain Capital Partners in a deal that values the operation at $1.1 billion. Under terms of the deal, Citi’s private investment unit, Citigroup Capital Partners Japan, will receive $1 billion in cash for its 93.5 percent stake in the call center operator. New York-based Citigroup in October completed the sale of its Japanese brokerage to Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. in a $8.7 billion deal that advanced the bank’s efforts to restructure after big losses on risky investments. The bank, one of the hardest hit during the credit crisis and recession, has reported huge losses in the past two years as its investments and consumer loans and credit cards soured. Citigroup received $45 billion in loans from the U.S. government, which now owns a 34 percent stake in the bank. It has also received guarantees to protect against losses on more than $300 billion in risky assets.
Ford: Union concerns resolved at Kansas City plant CLAYCOMO, Mo. (AP) – Ford Motor Co. said Saturday union concerns over working conditions at its assembly plant in Kansas City have been resolved. But a union officer said members were moving ahead with a planned strike authorization vote. Ford spokeswoman Marcey Evans said officials from the automaker and United Auto Workers Local 249 reached an agreement late Friday on issues related to the workload at the plant. Union leaders have said problems developed in October when Ford added a third shift, including staggered schedules. The union says the changes resulted in increased, uncompensated work since the company did not hire workers. Other union issues concern safety. The plant makes the Ford F-150 pickup and the Ford Escape/Mercury Mariner SUV.

Iraq expects competition in oil field bidding BAGHDAD (AP) – Iraq’s oil minister said Sunday he expects strong competition among oil companies in a second round of bidding next month on the country’s lucrative oil fields. Forty-five international oil companies – including Exx-
on Mobil Corp., Chevron, BP Group PLC., ConocoPhillips and Total SA – have been cleared to compete for the rights to develop 15 oil fields on offer in 10 projects. Iraq’s first postwar auction in June flopped after most foreign oil companies
rejected the price Baghdad set for each barrel produced. “We expect the world’s biggest oil companies to come and submit their offers ... good competitive offers,” Oil Minister Hussain al-Shahristani told reporters.

Milwaukee mayor, hailed as hero, to run for governor
‘Tweeters’ to report on launch CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) – Fingers will be flying when space shuttle Atlantis blasts off today: About 100 of NASA’s geekiest fans will be on hand, pecking away at iPhones, BlackBerrys, laptops and other Twittering gadgets. They plan to let loose with electronic messages – provided they aren’t so swept away by the afternoon liftoff. “I’ll be uploading stuff as it happens,” promised Steve Wake, 38, a computer programmer who flew in from Denver. “On launch day, who knows? I may be too excited about everything else to even think about doing that stuff. When it’s over with, I’m sure I will.” Laura Burns already has a strategy. She figures she’ll have the words
