Projects leave city primed for growth

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRINITY – When Rich Baker looks at a map of the Trinity area, he sees more than highways cutting through vacant fields.

He sees rooftops.

“To me, from the outside looking in, Trinity is prime for growth because of the location,” said Baker, the city’s storm-water administrator who came here after working with sewer projects for about 25 years in North Dakota. “We have 20 to 22 minutes to the airport. You have Charlotte just down the road – Winston-Salem. We have major highways, interstate access.

I think it’s a great place.”

But Trinity officials know growth can’t happen unless it has the infrastructure in place to support it.

With several sewer projects planned for the city, officials are hopeful the additional service to residents will spur that growth.

“We already have water provided by Davidson Water,” City Manager Ann Bailie said. “We’ve got good roads. We’ve got interstate access and when we get the sewer service, we will be well situated to accommodate growth.”

According to Randy McNeill, the city’s engineer, the city will have 1,500 homes that will have sewer service by the time Trinity builds all of its phases. Cur-

rently, the city has more than 500 homes that have sewer service. Trinity has 25 miles of sewer lines in the ground, and will have a total of 50 miles when all of the phases are completed.

“We are accelerating some of (the projects),” McNeill said. “We are probably within another three or four years when we are going to have most of it completed.” McNeill said Colonial Heights subdivision couldn’t have happened without the city sewer from Phase 1. He also said Wheatmore High School could be built on Finch Farm Road because of the Phase 1 sewer project being completed.

According to Bailie, there is talk about develop-

THOMASVILLE – Several generations of Mike Reid’s family decided Saturday they could not miss the Christmas parade.

For more than 50 years, the Thomasville parade, which is often larger than holiday parades in High Point and WinstonSalem, has entertained generations of Triad residents. Now a Florida resident, Reid, a High Point native, was one of 14 family members seated on tiered rows using the bed of a truck parked along Main Street.

“We have family members here from Califor-

“We are starting to see (growth) start over there at Finch Farm and I-85,” Bailie said. “Then it moves east. That’s where we expect the most development. That’s where we’ve had the rezoning requests.

Not as much building as I thought there might be

now, but there is always a lot of talk about it.”

“It’s a wonderful system,” Baker said of Trinity’s sewer plans. “You can’t have growth without sewer because you have to have such big lots. You lose your density, and without density, you don’t have rooftops.

nia also,” Reid said. “My wife is from Virginia.

This is like a reunion for us, the first time we have been together for some time.”

Thomasville is among the first Triad cities to ring in the holiday season with a parade, always held the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

The warm weather was suitable for a parade ride in a convertible.

Mayor Joe Bennett and Miss N.C. Outstanding Teen Katherine Puryear gave up their positions at the front of the parade, so the veterans who were slated to participate in the canceled Davidson County Vet-

Septic tank problems get priority FROM PAGE 1

AP

Senate Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky (center) shows copy of the Democratic health care reform bill during a news conference on Capitol Hill.

From left are, Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., McConnell, Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl of Ariz., Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas.

Historic health care bill clears Senate plause broke out briefly when the vote was announced. In a measure of the significance of the moment, senators sat quietly in their seats, standing only when they were called upon to vote.

In the final minutes of a daylong session, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., accused Republicans of trying to stifle a historic debate the nation needed.

“Imagine if, instead of debating whether to abolish slavery, instead of debating whether giving women and minorities the right to vote, those who disagreed had muted discussion and killed any vote,” he said.

The Republican leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said the vote was anything but procedural – casting

it as a referendum on the bill itself, which he said would raise taxes, cut Medicare and create a “massive and unsustainable debt.”

For all the drama, the result of the Saturday night showdown had been sealed a few hours earlier, when two final Democratic holdouts, Sens. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, announced they would join in clearing the way for a full debate.

“It is clear to me that doing nothing is not an option,” said Landrieu, who won $100 million in the legislation to help her state pay the costs of health care for the poor.

Lincoln, who faces a tough re-election next year, said the evening vote will “mark the beginning of consideration of this bill by the U.S. Senate, not the end.”

Agriculture secretary says farmers can be energy leaders MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

FAYETTEVILLE – American farmers, known for providing the nation with food and fiber, need to add another product to their catalog: Energy.

That is a key message U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack had for about 230 people gathered at the Kiwanis Club’s Farm City Week on Friday afternoon in Fayette-

ville. He appeared with U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge, N.C. Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler and N.C. Farm Bureau President Larry Wooten.

In his other points, Vilsack said China has stepped closer to reopening its markets to the troubled American pork industry, and the government has helped farmers by buying their products.

Farmers need to expand to fuel and power production to help the United

States transition away from dependence on foreign oil, Vilsack said.

“We need to turn our farm fields into the energy fields they’re capable of being,” Vilsack said.

Every state should be involved, he said.

“It has to give us the capacity as a country to release the stranglehold that other nations have on this country when it comes to energy and the supply,” he said.

GREENSBORO (AP) – A North Carolina man will spend the rest of his life in prison after he was convicted of killing a Greensboro convenience store clerk in front of his 13-year-old son.

The News & Record of Greensboro reports a jury took two hours Friday to find 20-yearold Raytheon Williams guilty of first-degree murder.

One of Williams’ codefendants testified he talked about shooting 50-year-old Satwinder Singh during the store robbery to get respect in his gang.

Authorities say three men entered the store in November 2006. Prosecutors offered a plea deal to 21-year-old Arthur Burton III in exchange for testimony and he will spend at least 21 years in prison.

McNeill said Phase 2 has been implemented, constructed and is in operation. The city has used funds from the Federal Community Development Block Grants and Rural Development grants and loans.

The city also has set aside 75 percent of the city’s sales tax for sewerrelated costs into a sewer fund.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Invoking the memory of Edward M. Kennedy, Democrats united Saturday night to push historic health care legislation past a key Senate hurdle over the opposition of Republicans eager to inflict a punishing defeat on President Barack Obama. There was not a vote to spare.

The 60-39 vote cleared the way for a bruising, full-scale debate beginning after Thanksgiving on the legislation, which is designed to extend coverage to roughly 31 million who lack it, crack down on insurance company practices that deny or dilute benefits and curtail the growth of spending on medical care nationally.

The spectator galleries were full for the unusual Saturday night showdown, and ap-

becoming a reality. Randy McNeill, the city’s engineer, said Trinity officials commissioned him to do a sewer system feasibility study, which examined how to serve the entire city with sewer. The study also showed how to route sewer lines up all the major creeks throughout all the major neighborhoods.

“It looked at the options of sending sewer to Thomasville or High Point, through Archdale or building a treatment plant of (the city’s own) on the Uwharrie River,” McNeill said. “It’s kind of a guiding document that was established in the very beginning. It was probably completed in January 1999.”

According to McNeill, North Carolina had a $1 billion referendum in 1998 on the state level, with $330 million of that identified for sewer needs. After three attempts, Trinity was approved in 1999 to start the Phase 1 project, which was funded by the 1998 referendum. That project included $3 million of sewer lines and the first pump station that would transfer flows to the Thomasville system.

Trinity and Thomasville, which has provided sewer service to the Chair City since 2002, have an agreement allowing Trinity an allotment of 1 million gallons per day in the Hamby Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.

“While this Phase 1 project was going on, since it took about three or four years to accomplish it because of the funding source and breaking out contracts ... we were pursuing grant funding for another project called the Darr Road area,” McNeill said, noting that the areas with the most septic tank problems got first priority. “It was an area that

State trooper fired in dispute over lost hat RALEIGH (AP) – A North Carolina state trooper who said he was fired because his bosses thought he lied about the fate of his $45 hat is fighting his dismissal.

Thomas C. Wetherington, 22, told The News & Observer of Raleigh that losing his job in a misunderstanding about his hat is especially galling considering the kind of misconduct other troopers have committed without getting fired. “Look, we’ve got guys having sex in patrol cars just about every day,� said Wetherington, a trooper since 2007. “Why did I get dismissed when other guys get slaps on the wrist?�

A review committee ruled in September that Wetherington should be reinstated and the conduct of the supervisor who pushed for his removal be reviewed. But the Highway Patrol hasn’t put Wetherington back on the highway and he is

awaiting a hearing before a judge who can make the patrol put him back on the force.

Patrol spokesman Capt. Everett Clendenin wouldn’t talk to the newspaper about the case, citing the pending legal action.

Wetherington’s saga began an a blustery night in March when he pulled over a vehicle towing a boat on U.S. 70 in Craven County.

While seizing guns and alcohol, he set his hat on his patrol car, then heard it tumble down the asphalt in the dark. He returned later and looked for it for two hours without success.

Wetherington had to file a form to get a new hat, and he wrote that it blew away and was likely run over. But another trooper pulled over the same driver two weeks later, and the man had Wetherington’s hat, which he said he picked

up after the trooper left. Wetherington’s name and phone number were in the hatband, but the driver never called.

The Highway Patrol ruled Wetherington violated its code of conduct, which requires troopers to always tell the truth.

The agency has had plenty of trouble with troopers following the conduct code. Since 1998, the patrol has dealt with at least 27 cases of sexual misconduct by troopers either on or off duty. In several cases, those involved were not fired, including a trooper who received a five-day suspension in 2002 after he was caught repeatedly having sex on duty in and on his parked patrol car. On one occasion, the trooper inadvertently left his handgun behind, where children later found it, the newspaper reported.

Outgoing DA takes on judge in speeding case

RALEIGH (AP) – Santa Claus is fine at a North Carolina Christmas parade. But Mrs. Claus has to stay away.

Organizers of the Raleigh parade told The News & Observer of Raleigh that they are just following policy

and children would be confused if there were two people in the Saturday parade in Santa suits.

John Odom says organizers even discourage parade watchers from wearing Santa hats so everyone’s attention is on the real St. Nick.

WINSTON-SALEM – In one of his last acts as district attorney, Tom Keith is taking on a Forsyth County judge over a speeding case.

Keith filed a motion Friday asking a judge in Forsyth Superior Court to appeal a decision made by Judge Laurie Hutchins of Forsyth District Court earlier this week, contending that she improperly reduced a speeding charge, violating a state law.

Keith could not be reached for comment. He announced Tuesday that he is retiring after nearly 20 years in office, and he isn’t expected to be back in the office until Nov. 30, his official last day.

Hutchins declined to comment.

According to the motion, Hutchins heard a case Wednesday involving Gilbert Richard Turner, the son of Kirk Alan Turner, the Clemmons dentist who in August was acquitted of killing his wife.

Rocket hits outside luxury hotel in Kabul KABUL – A rocket hit outside the luxury Serena Hotel in Afghanistan’s capital late Saturday, wounding two people, the Interior Ministry said.

The heavily guarded Serena regularly houses visiting diplomats, officials and international workers. It has been the target of attacks before, most recently in late October when a rocket slammed into a courtyard.

In Saturday’s attack, a rocket hit low on the outside of a compound wall that rings the hotel, just behind a guardhouse, according to an Associated Press reporter.

Iran to hold war games to protect nuke sites TEHRAN, Iran – Iran will begin large-scale air defense war games today aimed at protecting its nuclear facilities from possible attack, a senior military commander said Saturday, reflecting the country’s concern that Israel could make good on threats to strike militarily.

The drill comes as a top clerical official renewed his threat to target “the heart of Tel Aviv� should Israel attack Iran. The five-day drill will involve Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard and the regular army and will cover 230,000 square miles of central, western and southern Iran, said air force Gen. Ahmad Mighani.

Fort Hood suspect Hasan in confinement in hospital FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Army psychiatrist charged in one of the worst mass shootings on a U.S. military base will be confined until his military trial, initially staying in a hospital Hasan where he is recovering from gunshot wounds, his attorney said Saturday.

During a hearing at Maj. Nidal Hasanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital room in San Antonio on Saturday, a magistrate ruled that there was probable cause that Hasan com-

mitted the Nov. 5 shooting at Fort Hood, said his civilian attorney, John Galligan. Hasan has been at Brooke Army Medical Center since the shooting that killed 13 and wounded two dozen others.

Galligan told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that the judge also ordered Hasan to pretrial confinement, which usually means jail, until his court martial.

More Americans expected to travel for holiday

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The number of Americans traveling away from home for Thanksgiving will be up only slightly this year from 2008, according to a report from the AAA auto club.

The group said there

Ex-Air Force nurse acquitted of murder SAN ANTONIO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A military judge in Texas has found a former Air Force nurse accused of killing three terminally ill patients not guilty of murder.

Capt. Michael Fontana was accused of administering excessive dosages of painkillers to speed the patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; deaths.

Suspicious package found at Fort Benning FORT BENNING, Ga. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Fort Benning spokesman says Army officials are investigating whether a suspicious note and package found at the west Georgia post is a viable threat.

Bob Purtiman says a soldier found the note and package Thursday morning in an outdoor gazebo. The soldier immediately told a supervisor, who called 911.

5 students arrested in alleged groping LONG BEACH, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Authorities say five male students have been arrested on suspicion of sexual battery after two ninth-grade girls were attacked at a Long Beach high school.

Long Beach Police Lt. Ty Hatfield says one of the victims told Poly High School officials they were groped on their breasts and buttocks during a lunch break Tuesday.

ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

will be about 33.2 million people traveling by car this year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a 2.1 percent increase from last year.

But there will be a 6.7 percent decrease in the number of air travelers, totaling 2.3 million this year, continuing a

decade-long decline of Thanksgiving air travel.

In the report released Wednesday, AAA officials said the expected increase reflects improved consumer confidence from a year ago, when travel dropped 25 percent.

Scholarships honor officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Former High Point police officer Debra Duncan has moved on from the city that she adopted and cherishes, but she has left a local legacy for young people through the memory of her late mother.

Duncan, now the chief of police in Monroe, has established a scholarship fund for area college students named after her mother, Jacqueline Duncan, who died two years ago in High Point.

The first money from the Jacqueline Duncan Scholarship Fund was distributed

$1,000, said retired High Point police officer Charles Ramseur, a longtime friend of Duncan and her family who helped set up the fund through the Furniture City chapter of the North State Law Enforcement Association.

Duncan was a member of the Furniture City chapter Debra Duncan when she served in High Monroe police chief, former High Point, where she was a police officer for 21 years.

Point police officer When her mother lost her battle with lung cancer in this fall to a pair of students the fall of 2007, Duncan wantheading to college, one from ed to come up with a way to T. Wingate Andrews High honor her while doing someSchool, the other from South- thing for the community.

She and Ramseur, a longeast Guilford High School.

Each scholarship is for time member of the Furniture

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My mother always understood the importance of education.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

City chapter, brainstormed and came up with the idea of a college scholarship fund. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mother always understood the importance of education,â&#x20AC;? said Duncan, whose father, Jay, recently moved from High Point to Monroe.

Donations for the fund have come from colleagues and friends in High Point and Monroe, Duncan said. In October, when the first awards were presented to students Whitney Spring of Southeast and Merida Sanders of Andrews, Duncan came to High Point for the ceremony. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Premier service One-stop medical facility nears opening

Workers focus on efficiency

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The new Premier Medical Plaza is designed for efficient medical care close to home.

Shared waiting rooms on each floor include large chairs, broadband WiFi and easily accessible outlets for laptop computers. The waiting rooms are designed to handle as many as 100 patients an hour among several practices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patients told us they wanted WiFi,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Grace Terrell, president and CEO of Cornerstone Health Care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did not think they would.â&#x20AC;?

Examining rooms are arranged in pods for more efficient workflow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doctors are most productive is they have three rooms going on at the same time,â&#x20AC;? Terrell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So while a nurse is with one patient, the doctor is in another room, and third is used for tests or checkout.â&#x20AC;?

Another advance is electronic medical records which can eliminate duplicating information and lost paperwork. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With electronic records, information can move from doctor to doctor easily,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. John Walker of High Point Gastroenterology.

The center also will focus on patient education in meeting rooms offering the latest audio-visual equipment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes you can do a better job of patient education about diabetes and heart disease in groups,â&#x20AC;? Terrell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a more patientcenter design. We have tried to see what we could fix from the doctorcentered designs. The idea of this location is to be close to where many people live.â&#x20AC;?

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Convenient one-stop medical service has come to north High Point with the opening of Premier Medical Plaza.

In the next few months, the new 128,000-square-foot outpatient medical facility at 4515 Premier Drive will offer a range of medical services from primary and urgent care to outpatient services and diagnostic imaging. It also will include community and patient education rooms.

Many patients are expected to move their appointments to the new center because High Point Regional Health System and Cornerstone Health Care are the health care providers. Patients will be able to see several medical professionals in one visit. Cornerstone serves more patients in north High Point than anywhere else in the Triad. The network has more than 180 providers and 36 practices located in High Point, Jamestown, Archdale, Trinity, Thomasville, Asheboro and Winston-Salem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is part of the trend of offering convenience similar to shopping at a mall,â&#x20AC;?

Darrell Deaton, HPRHS vice president said during a Saturday tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of the services and physicians patients rely on at High Point Regional will be here. This is a great opportunity for our market.â&#x20AC;?

The first practices to move in include Deep River Family Medicine, Piedmont Centre Family and Sports Medicine, Cornerstone Premier Care, Premier Med Spa, Cornerstone Pediatrics at Premier, Cornerstone Internal Medicine at Premier and Cornerstone Urgent Care. Many of the offices will be open seven days a week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new concept in medicine is integration of services,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Grace Terrell, president and CEO of Cornerstone Health Care.

Thelma Beck

GREENSBORO – James Patrick McDermott, 89, World War II veteran, and beloved husband and father, died peacefully at his home in Greensboro, October 29, 2009, surrounded by family and friends.

Born on East 53rd Street in New York City on January 10, 1920, he was the eldest son of Irish immigrants, John Patrick McDermott from County Longford and Nellie Smith McDermott, from County Cavan.

After graduating from the High School of Commerce, he worked on Wall Street while attending City College at night. Enlisting in the United States Marine Corps Reserves, he served with the First Marine Division in Guantanamo Bay. A superior marksman, he achieved Expert Rifleman designation in both Pistol and Rifle. Stationed in Rekyavik, Iceland, when World War II broke out, he was sent to Chapel Hill, NC, to serve as a small-arms instructor in the Marine Corps Unit at the University of North Carolina. Appointed to Officer Candidate School at Quantico, he attained the rank of Lieutenant, and was then sent to Kauai, Hawaii, where he headed the munitions depot for the Fifth Amphibious Corps through the remainder of the war.

Returning to Chapel Hill, he entered UNC on the GI Bill, earning a B.S. in Accounting and a Juris Doctor from the UNC School of Law in 1950. He was a member of the NC Bar Association and was licensed to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States. He began his career in corporate law at Liberty Hosiery in Burlington, NC, and retired as House Counsel for B.B. Walker Shoe Company in Asheboro, NC, in 2005.

At the time of his death, Mr. McDermott was a member of Southeast Baptist Church in Greensboro. A member of First Baptist Church in Burlington and then of First Baptist Church of High Point, he served faithfully as a Deacon, choir member, Director of Baptist Training Union, and longtime and beloved teacher of the Senior Men’s Sunday School Class.

An American Red Cross volunteer for many years, he proudly donated more than 160 pints of blood over the course of his life. A dedicated supporter of the Salvation Army of High Point, his service included several years as Chairman of the Board.

He continued volunteering as a bell-ringer for the holiday kettles into his eighties.

A proud member of the Greensboro Rotary Club, he enjoyed attending make-up meetings around the world during travels with his wife, to maintain his perfect at-

tendance record until his health declined. His proudest Rotary accomplishment was his leadership in chartering the East Greensboro Rotary Club at Bennett College in 2001.

In his later years, he enjoyed being a Meals on Wheels Volunteer with his wife, Virginia; a Lunch Buddy at Bluford Elementary School; a dedicated Charter Member of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum; and a proud member of the Greensboro Chapter of the Marine Corps League.

Preceded in death by his beloved sister Helen McDermott Waters, and brothers Jackie and Eddie, he is survived by his beloved wife Virginia Hunter McDermott; his sister Betty McDermott Brackett; a host of first cousins in Ireland, including Tony Smith and Father Tom Smith; his three daughters, Linda Lloyd McDermott of Los Angeles, Nancie Susan McDermott of Chapel Hill, and Susanne McDermott Settle of Greensboro; Grandchildren Benjamin Alden McDermott Polk, Samuel Iverson McDermott Polk, Daniel Garrett McDermott Polk, Julia Rose McDermott Polk, Camellia Dao-Ling McDermott Lee, Isabelle Dao-Ahn McDermott Lee, Joshua Walker Cobb, and Michael Thomas Cobb.

The family wishes to express deepest gratitude to Mr. McDermott’s wonderful home caregivers, Hazel Holloway, Nicole McPhail, Christy Henderson, and Cathy Mosley.

They also will be forever grateful for the extraordinary and compassionate care given by his geriatrician, Dr. Michele Haber of Geriatric Consulting Services; his cardiologist, Dr. Thomas Stuckey; and by Lauren, and the entire caring staff of LeBauer Cardiology. Mr. McDermott received loving care from countless staff members at Moses Cone Hospital, in the Emergency Room, Intensive Care Unit, Radiology Department, Short Stay Center, and the Neurology Unit, particularly Nurses Tami Tyler and Marge Lessard. The family thanks the staff of Muirfield Assisted Living, at River Landing at Sandy Ridge for their care. The family also deeply appreciates the support of the Triad Cremation Society of Greensboro, and of Rich and Thompson Funeral Home of Burlington.

A memorial service is planned for Saturday, November 28th, 2009, at 11 a.m., at Southeast Baptist Church, 5011 Liberty Road, Greensboro, NC 27406. Memorial contributions may be made to the Salvation Army of High Point, 301 West Green Drive, High Point, NC 27260.

Joan Arnett LEXINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Joan Blevins Arnett, 63, of N.C. 150, died Nov. 20, 2009, at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center.

Funeral will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday at Davidson Funeral Home Chapel. Visitation will be held from 6 t 8 p.m. at Davidson Funeral Home.

CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A man will spend the rest of his life in prison after he was found guilty in what prosecutors said was a case of scaring a 79-year-old North Carolina woman to death.

Multiple media outlets report a federal jury found Larry Whitfield not guilty of murder Friday in the death of Mary Parnell last year. But they did find him guilty of causing her death by kidnapping her, and that carries an automatic life sentence.

Whitfield, 21, was looking for somewhere to hide after a failed bank robbery attempt in Gastonia in September 2008 when he broke into Parnellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home, prosecutors said.

Johnny Swicegood LEXINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Johnny Swicegood, 82, of Midway, died Nov. 20, 2009.

Funeral will be held at 4 p.m. Monday at Faith Missionary Alliance Church.

Visitation will be held from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the church prior to the serevice.

Whitfield never touched the grandmother, ordering her to go sit in a chair in her bedroom. She suffered a heart attack and begged Whitfield to call for help, authorities said.

Prosecutors said Whitfield was on the phone with his nursing student girlfriend when Parnell stopped breathing. She told him to call 911, but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, authorities said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He committed this crime with callous indifference. My mother-inlaw had a heart attack right in front of this guy, and he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have the decency to call an ambulance,â&#x20AC;? David Hains, Parnellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son-in-law, told WCNC-TV in Charlotte.

Dr. Kernan Manion poses for a photograph in his officer in Hampstead. Manion, a psychiatrist, was fired after he complained about conditions for his patients at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

N.C. GOP decides to keep primaries open

after the dismissal of Dr. Kernan Manion, a civilian psychiatrist who says he was fired for writing memos to his military superiors complaining of shoddy care of Marines returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, a condition that can make patients jumpy, fearful of loud noises and prone to flashbacks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys are saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m fried and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get out,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Manion said in an interview. Referring to the Fort Hood shooting rampage in which an Army psychiatrist who counseled PTSD victims allegedly killed 13 people earlier this month, he said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is there potential for another blowup? Yes, indeed.â&#x20AC;?

In e-mails shown to The Associated Press, Manion complained, among other things, that the military was not dealing with PTSD properly and that the trailers were infested with bugs and noisy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given that PTSD is the most frequent diagnostic group we see, one

would question the sense of locating a clinic in such close proximity to the booming of bombs that shake the trailer, the ratta-tat-tat of machine gun fire and the almost daily occurrence of grunts yelling war cries,â&#x20AC;? Manion wrote.

In an interview with AP, Manion said the military should have rented a building off base.

Manion was fired in September after working for eight months for a company that has a contract with the military to provide mental health care on the North Carolina base. He said that when he asked the contractor why he was being fired, he was told it was ordered by the Navy.

Tom Greene, a regional manager with the contractor, Spectrum Healthcare Resources, said in an e-mail statement to the doctor that Manion â&#x20AC;&#x153;did not meet the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requirements in accordance with the contract.â&#x20AC;? Greene offered no specifics and did not respond to e-mails seeking further comment.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Republican primaries in North Carolina will continue to be open to unaffiliated voters.

GOP spokesman Jordan Shaw says the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Executive Committee overwhelmingly rejected a resolution that would only allow Republicans to choose the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nominees.

Voters unaffiliated with a party have been helping pick who runs on the GOP ticket since 1988.

Republicans pushing the change argued party members should be the ones picking their nominees because independents are more inclined to back moderates.

CAMP LEJEUNE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Marines treated at Camp Lejeune for posttraumatic stress had to undergo therapy for months in temporary trailers where they could hear bomb blasts, machine-gun fire and war cries through the thin walls, according to servicemen and their former psychiatrist.

The eight trailers were used for nearly two years, until a permanent clinic was completed in September in another location on the base, said a Camp Lejeune medical spokesman, Navy Lt. j.g. Mark Jean-Pierre.

The noise from training exercises â&#x20AC;&#x153;shook me up real bad. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take it. I almost ran out of there a couple of times,â&#x20AC;? said a Marine patient who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to talk to the media. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mind couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t focus on the treatment. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell the difference between the combat zone and the non-combat zone.â&#x20AC;?

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; California is investigating several companies suspected of bilking churches nationwide of hundreds of thousands of dollars through fraudulent computer leasing schemes, authorities said Friday.

State Attorney General Jerry Brown said as many as 30 Southern California churches may have been defrauded, with the same companies suspected of bilking other churches in as many as 10 other states.

The companies offered churches free computer kiosks that could serve as electronic message boards and generate advertising revenue, Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instead, churches were left with leases as high as $45,000 per year,â&#x20AC;? the attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office said.

Don’t forget the harm energy tax would do Amid all the public furor over health care reform, the capand-trade energy tax is lying in the weeds to ambush the U.S. economy. On Nov. 5, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., forced a committee vote on the Kerry-Boxer Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act with no Republicans present.

This bill is not about protecting the climate. Global warming stopped in 1998. This bill is about government control of energy. It is social engineering pure and simple.

Forget the argument that we can’t afford capand-trade during a recession.

Cap-andtrade is self-inflicted injury America can’t afford at anytime. The recession only makes the insanity of it more egregious.

Forget the argument about energy independence. America will not achieve energy security by punishing the use of our abundant domestic coal, oil and natural gas resources, but by accelerating development of them.

Forget the argument that we need to lead the world in the development of green energy. Windmills and solar panels are not the energy sources of the future, merely politically correct and very expensive boondoggles. The

clean energy source of the future hasn’t been discovered yet.

Forget the argument that Europe expects it of us. America became the most powerful country in the world by asserting its independence from Europe, not by following the Old World off an economic cliff.

Most of all, forget the argument that if Congress doesn’t act, the EPA may do something even worse. Congress has the authority to restrict the actions of the EPA if members can find the spine to use it.

The Kerry-Boxer bill is the Senate manifestation of one of the largest tax increases in American history. It offers no benefit to the climate, but it would enrich a few while greatly expanding the federal government’s power and control over individual behavior.

That is hardly the path to future prosperity.

Area responded to help church after destructive fire On Nov. 12, Jamestown Presbyterian Church had a fire that destroyed our fellowship hall and also destroyed the food that had been slotted to be delivered to 47 families the following week. A plea went out to the community to help replenish the food so we could go forward with our delivery of a Thanksgiving meal, along with some extra non-perishables, to those less fortunate than we are.

Well, did the community ever come through! I would like to thank all of the people from Guilford, Forsyth and Davidson counties as well as those right here in Jamestown, that supported us through donations, money and prayer.

L

ast Monday’s City Council public hearing on the proposed Market Overlay District downtown was continued until Dec. 7, and a decision on the issue isn’t expected before the first of next year. That time frame will give City Council members plenty of opportunity to review and reflect upon this proposal, which would restrict new market showrooms to a set of boundaries drawn on a downtown map.

But no matter what City Council ultimately does with this proposal – whether it alters boundaries or approves them as presented or even decides not to approve the overlay district at all – another group of interested parties should be doing a great deal of reviewing and reflecting about this proposal and the future of downtown High Point. ...

And that is property owners in the central downtown area.

Whether or not a property owner eventually lands in the Market Overlay District, downtown property owners should begin reviewing the current use of their properties and begin reflecting upon the future of their investments. That’s especially true if their property currently is vacant.

The High Point Market is changing. It’s not occupying as much exhibition space today as it was five years ago. That number we often hear – 12 million square feet of exhibition space – likely is an overestimate today. Exhibition and showroom space is shrinking, not growing, now.

For property owners, that means the best use of their property may no longer be showroom space. Now is a good time for downtown property owners – especially those with vacant buildings or lots – to consider the potential for year-round use of their property for other types of businesses.

And whether they’re in or out of a Market Overlay District doesn’t matter.

COMMENTARY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2009 www.hpe.com

Hide your Will GOP fight rather than win in 2010? wallet, here B comes Al! H

ouse Resolution 2454, The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 was passed back in June with the support of only eight blue-state Republicans. Voting against the bill were 168 Republicans, 42 moderate Democrats and two ultraliberal Democrats. This bill is also known as the cap-and-trade bill.

The stated intentions of this bill are mostly good. The good ideas include increased energy efficiency, the reduction of energy-related pollution, and the much-needed modernization of our power grid.

But as with most big government programs led by liberal Democrats, the implementation will most likely be disastrous and the true intention of the bill can best be described as bureaucratic power-mongering.

The London Telegraph recently estimated that Al Gore’s personal fortune has risen around 5,000 percent over the past nine years, and said that he’s well on his way to becoming the world’s first “carbon billionaire.”

The Earth has been cooling during those nine years, even though greenhouse gas emissions have continued to rise, OPINION and many credible scientists dispute Mike Gore’s pretentious Hughes claim that humans ■■■ have caused global climate change.

The intent of this column is not to expose Gore’s global warming scam. That’s been done ad nauseam. The intent of this column is to debunk the myth that liberal Democrats are concerned about protecting American consumers.

The Wikipedia Web site has an interesting list of proposed amendments to H.R. 2454. All Democrat sponsored amendments were accepted, while almost all Republican amendments were rejected. These particular amendments clearly illustrate what liberal Democrats think about American consumers.

One Republican amendment called for canceling the bill if China and India do not follow suit.

Another amendment would cancel the bill if average gas prices reach $5 per gallon. Yet another amendment would cancel the bill if the unemployment rate reaches 15 percent as a result of the bill. And another amendment would have required clear labeling on billing statements and manufactured products so that consumers would know how much they’re paying for cap-and-trade.

In other words, $5 gas, 15 percent unemployment and no significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions are of little concern for liberal Democrats, and they don’t want you to know how much more you’ll be paying under their legislation.

In January 2008, then Sen. Obama said, “Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket ... coal powered plants, natural gas, you name it ... whatever the industry was, they would have to retrofit their operations, that will cost money, they will pass that [cost] on to consumers.”

Republican Congressman Roy Blunt sponsored an amendment that would cancel H.R. 2454 if the average price of residential electricity rose by 10 percent or more.

When that amendment failed, he raised it to 20 percent. When that failed, he raised it to 100 percent and it was still rejected. In other words, liberal Democrats are not concerned about your electricity bills. How much of your money will be going into billionaire Gore’s pocket?

On June 26, a final 310 page amendment was submitted at 3:47 a.m. The final bill was passed less than eight hours later. Shouldn’t there be a law requiring that bills are actually read before they’re voted on?

y all accounts, 2010 should be another 1994 for Republicans. That year the GOP won the majority in the North Carolina House for the first time in almost a century and was approaching parity in voter registrations. But infighting, the inability to raise large dollars to conduct viable campaigns and sometimes lackluster candidates have always prevented Republicans from ever taking control. Will next year be different?

Traditionally, the party out of power in Washington gains seats in mid-term elections, both at the national and state level. Since Democrats won the White House and Congress in 2008, it is expected Republicans will make gains in 2010. Unemployment, government deficits, corruption and a host of other problems will be blamed on Democrats.

President Obama’s great popularity appears to be sagging, and Gov. Perdue’s approval ratings are dismally low.

A Public Policy Poll released this week indicates voters will vote for Republi-

can legislative candidates next year by a slim 45-44 margin.

By almost the same spread, they say they will vote for MY SPIN Republican congressional Tom candidates.

Campbell Democrats ■■■ outnumber Republicans by a 45 to 31 percent margin in this state, but almost 65 percent of unaffiliated voters say they plan to vote Republican. The political stars appear to be lining up for Republicans.

A resolution before the North Carolina Republican Party’s Executive Committee could snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. Under current policies unaffiliated voters can choose either a Republican or Democratic ballot when they vote in primary elections. The resolution in question would ban these unaffiliated voters from selecting the Republican ballot.

Advocates for the motion say unaffiliated voters distort the

vote in favor of more moderate candidates, nominees who do not reflect the hard-core conservative views of the party. Republicans aren’t winning, they maintain, because their nominees aren’t conservative enough to turn out their base supporters.

Voter registrations don’t support this notion. Republican Party registrations have declined from 34 percent of North Carolina voters in 2003 to 31.7 percent today. Democrats lost 1.5 percent during this same period while unaffiliated voters increased from 17.6 percent to 22.5 percent.

For whatever the reason, people who could register for either party don’t choose to do so. A growing number want the freedom to choose which ballot they will vote based on the candidates and the issues.

But you have to conclude that the ultra-conservative views of Republicans aren’t attracting new voter registrations.

North Carolina Republicans have a choice. Do they want to draw lines in the sand and stand firm on their litmus test issues for candidates or

do they want to win elections? Common sense dictates candidates who must go far to the right to embrace GOP positions on homosexuality, gay marriage and no taxes in order to win primary nominations have a difficult time moving back to center enough to attract the unaffiliated voters needed to win. To get these voters, we suggest Republicans must move to the political middle ground and become more moderate.

Maybe this isn’t what Republicans really want. Maybe they would rather fight than win.

If true, it is time to start a third party to challenge Democrats. We need at least two strong political parties to ensure good debate, viable choices and good government.

Republicans need to decide if they can be that strong alternative in 2010.

Recklessness

Obama bowing to ‘world opinion’ will cost U.S. security, allies

I

n the string of amazing decisions made during the first year of the Obama administration, nothing seems more like sheer insanity than the decision to try foreign terrorists, who have committed acts of war against the United States, in federal court, as if they were American citizens accused of crimes.

Terrorists are not even entitled to the protection of the Geneva Convention, much less the U.S. Constitution.

Terrorists have never observed or claimed to have observed, the Geneva Convention, nor are they among those covered by it.

OPINION But over and above the utter Thomas inconsistency Sowell of what is be■■■ ing done is the utter recklessness it represents. The last time an attack on the World Trade Center was treated as a matter of domestic criminal justice was after a bomb was exploded there in 1993.

Under the rules of American criminal law, the prosecution had to turn over all sorts of information to the defense – information that told the alQaida international terrorist network what we knew about them and how we knew it.

This was nothing more and nothing less than giving away military secrets to an enemy in wartime – something for

which people have been executed, as they should have been. Secrecy in warfare is a matter of life and death.

“Loose lips sink ships” was the World War II motto in the United States. But loose lips are mandated under the rules of criminal prosecutions.

Tragically, this administration seems hell-bent to avoid seeing acts of terrorism against the United States as acts of war. The very phrase “war on terrorism” is avoided, as if that will stop the terrorists’ war on us.

The mind-set of the left behind such thinking was spelled out in an editorial in the San Francisco Chronicle, which said that “Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the professed mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, will be tried the right way – the American way, in a federal courtroom where the world will see both his guilt and the nation’s adherence to the rule of law.”

This is not the rule of law but the application of laws to situations for which they were not designed.

How many Americans may pay with their lives for the intelligence secrets and methods that can forced to be disclosed to al-Qaida was not mentioned. Nor was there mention of how many foreign nations and individuals whose cooperation with us in the war on terror have been involved in countering al-Qaida – nor how many foreign nations and individuals will have to think twice now, before cooperating with us again, when their role can be revealed in court to our enemies, who can exact revenge on them.

Behind this decision and others is the notion that we have to demonstrate our good faith to other nations, sometimes called “world opinion.”

Just who are these saintly nations whose favor we must

curry, at the risk of American lives and the national security of the United States?

Internationally, the law of the jungle ultimately prevails, despite pious talk about “the international community” and “world opinion,” or the pompous and corrupt farce of the United Nations. Yet this is the gallery to which Barack Obama has been playing.

In the wake of the obscenity of a trial of terrorists in federal court for an act of war – and the worldwide propaganda platform it will give them – it may seem to be a small thing that President Obama has been photographed yet again bowing deeply to a foreign ruler. But how large or small an act is depends on its actual consequences, not on whether the politically correct intelligentsia think it is no big deal.

As a private citizen, Obama has a right to make as big a jackass of himself as he wants to. But, as president of the United States, his actions not only denigrate a nation that other nations rely on for survival, but raise questions about how reliable our judgment and resolve are – which in turn raises questions about whether those nations will consider themselves better off to make the best deal they can with our enemies.

We find angels amongst us every day

BY JAMES BRIGHAM

I

live and work in the “inner city” of High Point.

I work the best and the worst of neighborhoods this city has to offer. I’ve worked in the mansions of Emerywood. I’ve crawled under roach-infested rent houses off Green. I witness the beauty and the ugliness that make up this community.

More than I want, I see the ugly side, like what crack does to the addict: a life instantly destroyed, a family left in despair, a neighbor robbed of an heirloom and peace of mind. I see a neighborhood abandoned of all hope and decency. Those that remain live like refugees in their own homes. Halloween hasn’t been celebrated on these streets in years.

For sure, the crack dealers do more damage to America in a week than all the terror-

ists combined in a decade.

For the dealer, my prayer is that your soul be spared of all God’s mercy on your Judgment Day. Then occasionally, I’ll stumble upon something so small, so insignificant, that you almost miss it. But once you see it and understand it, you marvel at its beauty. It is this beauty that always seems to outshine that ugliness. The most beautiful thing I have witnessed lately happened at my bank.

Last year, I saw this street person at the teller window engaged in conversation. It seemed pleasant and he left.

Since, I have seen him all around town. Once, at Main and Westwood, I watched as he stood at the crosswalk.

He watched the sign change

from “Walk” to “Don’t walk” several times. Never moving, just standing there, focused on the lights. He never looked up or down the street, never looked at the traffic. Standing there on the corner, as if in the very next second, he would step off the curb and begin that journey across that street. But he never moved.

I’ll never know what he was thinking at that moment – how his mind works, or doesn’t, how he finds himself in High Point, or doesn’t. I’m certain he’s not a soloist, but he is part of our community, getting a little help from some friends.

I learned there are people in this town that go out of their way to help him in small but significant ways. Back at the bank, that teller helps him manage his money so that he will make it to the end of the month. If there’s a bank holiday coming, she makes

him aware, so he isn’t caught short.

He’s a scruffy-looking guy, one that you would find easier to ignore, to shoo away, to be indifferent to. But she and the other tellers have risen above those things and have chosen to be angels instead. Their actions are the beautiful things I see here in High Point that outshine the ugliness. Their actions are what this community is made of.

This is just one of a thousand good things that we do for each other every day in our little town.

Beauty respects no address, I find it most everywhere.

This story is no more important than any other; it’s just one that I happened to witness.

May you find beauty in your day.

Recession and taxes Down economy may change year-end planning MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

DALLAS – Year-end tax planning this year will be different from years past, largely because of the recession.

For many taxpayers, the year has meant a job loss, a job with less income or perhaps a home foreclosure.

There also have been government stimulus programs that have added to taxpayers’ take-home pay or given some homebuyers a tax credit.

All these need to be taken into account.

“Things are different this year for a lot of people in situations they’ve never been into before because of the economic times,” said Jimmy Averitt, tax partner at accounting firm BDO Seidman LLP in Dallas.

“Those need to be assessed before the end of the year and compared with what occurred in prior years to get a handle on what their tax situation is,” he said. “You need to be doing that right now.”

Here are the possible tax implications of scenarios created by the ailing economy:

Generally, if you owe a debt to someone and they cancel or forgive that debt, the canceled amount may be taxable.

However, the government offers a tax break to help homeowners who lost their home to foreclosure.

Under the law, a taxpayer whose principal residence was foreclosed on does not have to claim the amount of debt canceled as income.

Debt reduced through a loan modification also is exempt. A loan modification makes mortgage payments more affordable by reducing the interest rate or lengthening the term of a mortgage.

Up to $2 million of forgiven debt is eligible for this exclusion; the limit is $1 million for married couples filing separate tax

returns. The provision applies to debt forgiven in 2007 through 2012.

If you’ve been laid off, your taxable income could “well be significantly lower when you start taking into account exclusions and dependency deductions,” Averitt said.

That could leave you in a situation where your tax deductions exceed your income.

If your deductions exceed your income and you need money, you could tap your retirement plan if you’re over age 591⁄2, Averitt said. In those cases, the tax paid on the withdrawals will be largely offset by your deductions, he said.

If you’re younger than 59 1⁄2 and make withdrawals from your retirement plan, you’d have to pay a 10 percent penalty on top

of the tax owed. That’s why James A. Smith, a certified public accountant in Dallas, says tap your retirement funds only as a last resort.

“I also don’t advocate starving to death,” said Smith, managing director at Smith, Jackson, Boyer & Bovard, PLLC. Conventional wisdom says to defer income and accelerate deductions to reduce your federal income tax. But Averitt said that for many people who have seen their family incomes slashed, this may be the year to go against conventional wisdom.

That could mean deferring some deductions, such as local property taxes, until next year, when your income could be greater.

Stumbling PC sales hammer Dell MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

SAN FRANCISCO – Dell Inc. last week reported a fiscal third-quarter profit that fell 54 percent from a year ago as sales across all of its major business areas, adding fuel to analysts’ reports that the PC giant is losing market share to its rivals.

The results fell short of Wall Street’s estimates for the quarter.

For the quarter ended Oct. 30, Dell said it earned $337 million, or 17 cents a share, on revenue of $12.9 billion, compared with a profit of $727 million, or 37 cents a share, on $15.2 billion in sales. Excluding onetime items, Dell would have earned 23 cents a share.

Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had forecast Dell to earn 28 cents a share on revenue of $13.2 billion.

“They missed both revenue and EPS,” said Shaw Wu, who covers Dell at Kaufman Bros. “That’s somewhat disappointing, given strong results from pretty much all players in the PC supply chain, including Intel, Apple and Microsoft.”

Prior to Dell’s report, several technology analysts and research firms said recent reports on PC sales suggested that Dell was losing market share to rivals such as

SPECIAL | HPE

The soon-to-be shut down Dell plant in Winston-Salem is shown in this company photograph.

Hewlett-Packard Co. and Acer.

Gartner Inc.’s recent third-quarter PC report said that Dell had lost its No. 2 position in worldwide PC sales to Taiwan’s Acer. Gartner said that Dell’s third-quarter shipments fell 6.7 percent to 10.3 million units, while Acer’s shipments climbed 23.6 percent, to 12.5 million units, over the same period a year ago.

The launch of the new Windows 7 operating system from Microsoft Corp. also did little to help results,

as the software only became available in the last week of the quarter. Dell CEO Michael Dell said in a statement that the company will see the benefits of the launch in the fourth quarter.

On a conference call to discuss the results, Dell Chief Financial Officer Brian Gladden was upfront about the company’s position in the PC market, and how the areas that are growing the most have yet to have a positive effect on Dell.

“The mix of our business is 80 percent commercial,”

Gladden said. “But the areas of the most growth are coming from consumer (sales).

And we are losing share in the aggregate.”

Dell said its total unit shipments were down 5 percent from a year ago. Consumer sales totaled $2.8 billion, a 10 percent decline from a year ago even though consumer shipments rose 17 percent.

Large enterprise revenue fell 23 percent from a year ago to $3.4 billion and small-and-medium business sales totaled $3 billion, down 19 percent from the same period last year.

Revenue from desktop PCs slid by 26 percent compared to year-ago quarter, while notebook and mobility-product sales were down 14 percent and revenue from servers and networking equipment fell by 6 percent from a year ago.

For its fourth quarter, Dell didn’t give an exact earnings or revenue outlook, but said that it expects sales to improve. Analysts have forecast Dell to earn 30 cents a share on $13.54 billion in sales for its fourth quarter.

Firms rewarded for checking immigrant status WASHINGTON (AP) – The Homeland Security Department will give a “seal of approval” to businesses volunteering to use an electronic program to check workers’ immigration status.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said the public should know which companies are following the law. The problem is, the program known as E-Verify is still under development and the law

does not require employers to use it. They are required to use a paper system.

In addition, some businesses that use E-Verify have been found to have hired undocumented workers who used stolen, fraudulent or borrowed documents.

About 169,000 employers use E-Verify. There are about 7 million employers in the U.S. Napolitano made the announcement at an employers meeting about

immigration enforcement in Washington.

The E-Verify program “will let consumers know which businesses are working hard to follow the law and are committed to protecting employment opportunities,” Napolitano said.

The approval seal Napolitano unveiled has large letters on it that say I E-Verify, with a waving American flag. Below it, in smaller letters, the label says “This business uses E-Verify in its

hiring processes to achieve a lawful work force.”

Although DHS has been working to shrink the error rate of E-Verify, it does sometimes flag legal workers as illegal. The program also cannot determine if someone is using bogus documents.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement started a similar program in 2007 known as ICE Image, although that program had other requirements including that the employer undergo an audit

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

of the employer’s paperwork, known as I-9’s, used to check workers’ immigration status.

Congress gave DHS $137 million to run E-Verify another three years. Information on how many more employers could participate in the program with that amount was not immediately available. An attempt to make the program permanent was rejected, but is likely to be proposed again as part of the Democrats’ immigration reform bill.

CANTON, Mass. (AP) – Falling asleep has apparently become as much a Thanksgiving Day tradition in America as carving the turkey or watching football.

Dunkin’ Donuts says a survey it commissioned found that 58 percent of adults plan to take a nap on the holiday.

Most, not surprisingly, expect to nod off after the big meal.

The Canton, Mass.-based chain said Thursday that it plans to keep many of its restaurants open until 2 p.m. on Thanksgiving, in case anyone needs a shot of caffeine to ward off the urge to nap.

It also offered a host of holiday recipes, all of which include Dunkin’ Donuts coffee among the ingredients.

Why do people snooze on Thanksgiving? Some of those surveyed blamed tryptophan in turkey, but others suggested it was a good way to avoid socializing with certain relatives.

Bridal shop owner relocates to Uptowne

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT - Joining a group of businesses who are opening shop in the Uptowne and downtown districts of High Point, Bridgit’s Bridal, formerly Bridgit’s Bridal Boutique, will re-open on N. Main Street Nov. 30.

Bridgit Miles, owner of the store, said she is relocating the shop to fit her business needs and join efforts to revitalize downtown High Point. The store was located in Oak Hollow Mall for the past four years.

Miles knows a thing or two about relocating herself.

A native of Bowland, she grew up around family members who loved fashion. Her aunt owns a bridal

shop in Lumberton, and her sister operates a bridal shop in Dillon, S.C. Early in life she began sketching gowns and dresses of her own. She received a scholarship to an art school in Charlotte, but other ventures in life kept her from going. The 30-year-old worked as a CNA and substitute teacher and had four children before moving to High Point with her fiance in 1998.

Finally, in 2006, she came to a point in her life when she could pursue her dream and do something with all of those sketches lying around her house.

She opened her store in Oak Hollow Mall and filled her inventory with designer labels.

Then, her real dream came true.

BRIDGIT’S BRIDAL

–

Opening at 1701 N. Main St., Suite B, at the end of the month, the store sees brides on an appointment basis, but takes some walk-ins.

Bridal, prom and ball gowns are available.

Hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 10-5 p.m. The store can be reached at 885-1870.

A soon-to-be-bride from Trinity who wanted a unique wedding dress asked Miles to design a gown for her. Miles picked up her pencil, sketched the gown and made contact with a designer from China. The designer flew to High Point to meet Miles and discuss the details of

the dress, which he would manufacture.

“That was a dream come true,” she said. “The soon-to-be-bride found me, and I finally got to design a dress.”

It’s the only time Miles has designed a dress for a bride, but she doesn’t rule out the idea in the future. With her new store and plans for the future, she’d love to have a shop filled with dresses that she designed.

“My ultimate dream would be to expand and have my own private label dresses of bridal gowns and prom dresses,” she said.

“Then we would open a factory in the Triad and create some jobs for people here.”

Until then, she’s focusing on the designer bridal and prom gowns that she has now, continuing to

“I have some girls who have shopped with me for years, for their prom and for their wedding,” she said. “We

Penney CEO shows optimism amid recession

AP

Microsoft Chief Technology Officer Ray Ozzie speaks at the company’s Professional Developers Conference at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Tuesday.

Microsoft enters ‘new frontier’ MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

LOS ANGELES — All this week at the Professional Developers Conference, Microsoft has talked about cloud computing, what many consider the next frontier.

Bob Muglia, president of the company’s Server and Tools business, sat down to talk more about the cloud and the opportunity ahead for Microsoft.

Even among tech geeks, there is confusion and debate over what cloud computing is, even as many consumers are already well schooled with cloud services such as Hotmail, Facebook, iTunes or Flickr.

Over time, more companies will build similar Web-based services that live on remote servers, rather than being stored in a personal computer.

Microsoft launched Windows Azure for developers last week, hoping the operating system for the cloud draws them over competing offerings from Google, Amazon.com, Yahoo and Salesforce.com.

Here are edited excerpts of an interview with Muglia: Question: So what was the thinking behind you playing a life coach to a man in a cloud suit?

Answer: I think the cloud is fairly confusing to people — what it really is, the nature of the cloud and the way it’s been defined. I’ve watched it evolve in the industry.

If you look at definitions from 18 months ago, it’s hard for everybody to keep up with it.

Q: Let’s say your child’s schoolteacher asked you what the cloud is. What would you say?

A: A cloud is a whole

broad way to provide an array of services to people of all types and companies of all types.

If you look at the way consumers work with (online) services, it is almost all cloud driven: e-mail, Twitter, Facebook, online shopping. ... Businesses are (also) looking at how to bring their applications up internally.

I do my home banking on Sunday morning most of the time. About once a month or every other month, that’s when they update it (and I can’t access it). ...

That happens all the time and it shouldn’t happen. ... You don’t expect to see Bing or Google down.

They’re supposed to not be down.

Q: What is the size of the opportunity here for Microsoft?

A: Cloud computing is the future of how soft-

ware will be delivered.

Software you install on PCs, that’s not going to go away, but that software is going to be connected to cloud services.

If you look at what we create for customers, almost all of that will have components of the cloud, in some cases it will be entirely on the cloud. Over time the services will become a bigger and bigger part of Microsoft.

Q: What investment has Microsoft made in this?

A: It’s a fairly large (research and development) effort on our part. We’re building these gigantic data centers around the world. Microsoft has already become the largest purchaser of servers made by OEMs (hardware manufacturers). It’s a very, very major investment for us both in terms of R&D efforts together with the data centers.

• During a recent awards gala attended by top travel industry executives and representatives from virtually every

major cruise line, High Point-based Steve Ashworth & Crew was named CruiseOne’s “Franchise of the Year.”

The award, among over 550 agencies, was presented during the annual CruiseOne National Conference.

Ashworth, who opened his agency in 2006, joined executives from several major cruise lines, tour operators and the CruiseOne Fort Lauderdalebased executive team for

this year’s weeklong National Conference aboard Carnival Pride.

By attending the CruiseOne National Conference, Steve Ashworth & Crew became fully certified to sell land travel.

This means that area residents can not only continue booking their cruise vacations through Steve Ashworth & Crew, but can also now rely on the franchise for guidance in planning all types of future vacation getaways.

NEW YORK (AP) – This holiday season, J.C. Penney CEO and Chairman Myron E. Ullman III is armed with a lineup of exclusive fashion brands he helped bring to the department store chain, and he’s ready to battle key rivals like Macy’s.

During more than two decades in retailing, Ullman has seen a slew of competitors go out of business and – as Macy’s CEO in the early 1990s – even succumbed to a hostile takeover bid, from Federated Department Stores.

But he says nothing presented the kinds of challenges that Penney’s and other stores face now. He believes this recession has permanently made consumers more frugal.

Always an optimist, he says this plays to Penney’s strength, however, because the moderate-price chain offers a stylish alternative to higher-price rivals. Under his stewardship since December 2004, Penney has moved from offering mainly store brands

to filling its floors with trendy Sephora cosmetics shops and affordable lines from designers like Nicole Miller.

This fall saw the arrival of “Cindy Crawford Style,” a home furnishing and accessories collection exclusive to Penney, and JOE Joseph Abboud, an exclusive collection of men’s sportswear and tailored clothing. And the company announced it will be the sole U.S. store selling all the Liz Claiborne lines, except for the Isaac Mizrahi-designed Liz Claiborne New York brand, which goes to QVC next fall.

As many other retailers have closed stores or laid off workers in response to the downturn, Penney has kept investing, most notably opening its first Manhattan store in July.

Ullman, the eldest of seven children, says his father, Myron E. Ullman II – an industrial engineer who invented a modern version of the dishwasher in the late 1950s – taught him to innovate.

Create positive environment for job hunting

BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

Job hunting challenges stamina. Without stamina, you’re not likely to find a job. With renewed stamina, you can keep going. In good times, job hunts last about one month per $10,000 earned.

In bad times, like this one, job hunts may extend for even longer periods. Begin by developing a positive environment.

ENVIRONMENT An encouraging environment will nurture you by helping you overcome rejection and nonresponse. This strategy encompasses much more than spending time around positive people (although that’s essential, too).

Derrick Hayes, encouragement speaker at WOE Enterprises in Columbus, Ga., makes clear that your job search isn’t only about you. Notice how it relates to others. “If someone turns you down,” Hayes says, “ask the person why he didn’t hire you or look within yourself to see what you need to do to improve.” View the responses as positive opportunities to enhance your search rather than criticisms of your job search, or worse, you.

In other words, don’t just retreat. Others can help you step up, but most job seekers don’t give them the chance to do it.

Meanwhile, toss bouquets to people around you by encouraging them, Hayes advises, which will contribute to a culture of encouragement around you.

SPECIAL | WORKWISE FEATURES

Derrick Hayes maintains that an encouraging environment, which you can create, is essential for your emotional state during a job search. He is encouragement speaker at WOE Enterprises in Columbus, Ga. ‘VISION BOARD’ Make the most of your positive environment by developing a “vision board” that will help keeping you going toward your goal, suggests Amanda van der Gulik of Clever Dough Ltd., in Whangarei, New Zealand. “Find photos of your favorite job, of the things you’d like to do in that job and of happy faces doing that work,” she explains. “Place those on a board or all over your bedroom wall, on the mirror

over your bathroom sink – some place where you’re likely to see them on a regular basis.”

There are even iPhone apps and computer programs to create a mobile vision board, or “mind movie.” Photos and images become slides accompanied by music. Van der Gulik advocates playing happy background music while you watch your mind movie on your computer at the beginning of the day and at bedtime. Alternatively,

dive in and “watch your mind movie all day long, subliminally, transparently on top of all you do on your computer,” she says. “I love using this and have accomplished many of my own personal goals, in even less time than vision boards.”

Collins). St. John describes the eureka moment he had in the shower one day when he realized that affirmations are ineffective for lots of people, because you can’t fool your brain into believing them. They’re “the wrong tool to do the job,” because your brain is looking for questions.

“Rather than making a statement you don’t believe... why not ask a QUESTION that can transform your life?...” he asks. “Because your mind automatically starts to search for the answers to questions, asking empowering questions immediately changes your focus from what you don’t have to what you have.”

St. John outlines the steps: • “Ask yourself what you want.

• “Form a question that assumes that what you want is already true.

• “Let your mind search for the answer.

• “Take new ACTIONS based on your new assumptions about life.”

In other words, assume you have what you want. Ask yourself why you did well in an interview or why you have the best job you could imagine. “This works with pre-interview jitters,” he says.

If you want to hit stamina hard, ask yourself, “Why do I have so much stamina?”

Imagine the progress if you use all four methods every day.

‘AFFORMATIONS’ Another option is the use of “afformations,” which Noah St. John discusses in his book, “The Secret Code of Success” (Harper-

COLLEGE HOOPS HIGH POINT MEN 100 HAMP-SYDNEY 74 HPU WOMEN 75 UNC GREENSBORO 63 DUKE RADFORD VIRGINIA ORAL ROBERTS

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Just shy of two minutes into the second half, High Point University forward Corey Law became very animated as he took his place along the lane getting ready for free throws to be shot.

Law pounded his chest, extolling his teammates to pick up the pace as Hampden-Sydney College forward Turner King got ready to shoot two free throw attempts that would have drawn the Division III school within four for the second time just after halftime.

“That’s one thing I can bring is energy,” Law said. “If I can do that, Nick (Barbour) starts making plays and Eugene (Harris) starts making plays. Bringing energy – that’s what I do.”

HPU missed Law’s enthusiasm for most of the first half as he sat on the bench with two fouls.

With it, the Panthers kicked their game into high gear after King made one of his shots. Picking up their defensive pressure, HPU scored 10 straight points on the way to putting the Bears away with a 29-5 run and cruised to a 100-74 victory.

“When he went out (in the first half), our energy level went down,” Barbour said of Law. “But when he came back, we all gravitated to it.”

Barbour, who led the Panthers with 23 points, got the 10-point run started with a jumper. Tehran Cox scored off a steal, then Barbour converted a 4-point play on a 3-pointer and free throw and Harris had a layup. Harris, Jourdan Morris, David Singleton and David Campbell shared in the scoring as HPU went up 76-47 with 12:45 left, deciding the issue.

Harris added 19 points. Campbell had 14. Singleton finished with 10 points as did Morris, who missed the first two games for violation of team rules. King led HSC with 21 points. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Mountaineers keep Old Mountain Jug BOONE (AP) – Devon Moore rushed for two touchdowns and a career-high 191 yards in Appalachian State’s 19-14 win over Western Carolina on Saturday in the battle for The Old Mountain Jug. The Mountaineers(9-2, 8-0 Southern Conference) rushed for 255 yards and won their 20th straight game in conference play, tying Alabama (1924-26) and Tulane (192932) for the second-most consecutive wins in SoCon history.

Western Carolina (2-8, 1-7) led 7-3 before Moore scored on a 20yard run with 13:06 left in the third quarter. The Mountaineers scored a safety on a sack with 14:45 remaining. A 1-yard run by Moore gave the Mountaineers a 19-7 lead with 12:57 to play.

North Carolina’s Kendric Burney (16) celebrates his touchdown with Bruce Carter (54) and Robert Quinn after an interception in the first quarter against Boston College on Saturday. The Tar Heels rolled to a 3113 victory.

Carolina ‘D’ dooms BC

BOSTON (AP) – Deunta Williams grabbed his third interception of the game and headed for the end zone, weaving 39 yards through the Boston College offense to the 6 inch-line.

North Carolina already had two defensive touchdowns in the game, and Williams wanted to celebrate his 21st birthday with a third.

“It was crazy at first. It was like a dream out there,” Williams said after the Tar Heels forced six turnovers to beat Boston College 31-13. “When we were up 21-0, everybody on defense was trying to get greedy; everybody was trying to get a turnover.

We were just all out there trying to get turnovers and make plays.”

Boston College had an outside shot at winning the ACC Atlantic Division title, but that disappeared with a flurry of first-quarter turnovers by quarterback Dave Shinskie that helped spot the Tar Heels (8-3, 4-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) to a 21-0 lead.

E.J. Wilson hit Shinskie to force a fumble, and lineman Cam Thomas picked it up and ran 20 yards for a touchdown. Two plays later, Shinskie threw an interception that Burney returned for 30 yards as Carolina scored three times in a span of 2 minutes, 19 seconds to open a 21-point lead.

The Tar Heels (7-4, 4-3) held on to win their fourth

straight game after opening the conference season 0-3.

“We’re peaking right now,” Wilson said. “And it’s the right time to peak.”

Shinskie had four interceptions in all; he also fumbled twice more when BC recovered, and another interception was negated by a pass interference call. Mike Marscovetra relieved him late in the fourth quarter and his first pass was picked off

by Melvin Williams.

T.J. Yates threw three interceptions of his own, including one in the end zone when Roderick Rollins, who had been called for a late hit that moved the Tar Heels in position to score, outjumped the receiver and kept BC in the game.

Three plays later, Deunta Williams grabbed his third interception of the game and was stopped just short of the goal line. Ryan Houston ran it in from there for his second touchdown of the game to make it 28-13.

Montel Harris ran 23 times for 132 yards for BC, becoming the 16th back in school history to reach the 2,000 yard plateau. Rich Gunnell caught six passes for 60 yards and the Eagles’ only touchdown and left-footed walk-on Steve Aponavicius, playing his last home game in the stadium where he was discovered, made two field goals to remain perfect for the season.

Hokies hammer Wolfpack BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) – Ryan Williams ran for 120 yards and four touchdowns and helped make sure No. 16 Virginia Tech would send its 21 seniors out of Lane Stadium with a win one last time as the Hokies beat N.C.State 38-10 Saturday.

The Hokies (8-3, 5-2 Atlan-

tic Coast Conference) also got a career-best day from wide receiver Jarrett Boykin, who caught six passes for 164 yards and a touchdown, and from linebacker Cody Grimm, who tied an NCAA record by forcing three fumbles in his final home game.

N.C. State (4-7, 1-6) lost its second straight and for the sixth time in seven games.

The Wolfpack allowed at least 30 points for the eighth game in a row, and struggled on offense, turning the ball over four times and allowing five sacks of Russell Wilson.

HIT AND RUN

104 67

he Redskins and Cowboys clash for the 99th time when they meet this afternoon in Arlington, Texas.

Believe it or not, both teams enter with legitimate NFC East title hopes.

Dallas leads the pack at 6-3, followed by Philadelphia and the Giants at 5-4. Washington trails at 3-6.

The Redskins aren’t out of it by any means.

A win over Dallas leaves Washington two back in the division with six to play. The Redskins host the Cowboys on Dec. 27 – one of three NFC East foes they’ll face down the stretch.

The rest of the East is hardly beastly. The

Giants are riding a four-game losing streak, while the Eagles have dropped two straight.

Dallas struggled mightily in last week’s 177 loss at Green Bay. If the Redskins can follow last week’s 27-17 win over Denver with an upset of the Cowboys, this division could become a four-horse race to the finish.

If the Cowboys secure their 58th victory over the Redskins, however, the chase narrows to three.

Washington likely will go without star running back Clinton Portis, still feeling the effects of a concussion suffered two weeks ago.

Ladell Betts, who ran for 114 yards last week against Denver, would start again today.

For Dallas, Alan Ball starts at safety for Ken Hamlin (high right ankle sprain) and Doug Free replaces Marc Colombo (broken left leg) on the offensive line. That’s the first lineup change for the Cowboys O-line this season.

These teams almost always wage pro football warfare when they collide.

I’d expect more of the same this time around.

Bison conclude proud season

BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

GREENSBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Playing in their final game of the season, High Point Centralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s players brought an intensity level to match the atmosphere of such a significant game. Friday night at Dudley was an exemplary example of how well Bison coach Wayne Jones prepared his team to play in 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of our guys. Our guys played hard,â&#x20AC;? Jones said of his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance in its 21-6 loss in the second round of the playoffs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had opportunities. When you get down here (inside the red zone), youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to make sure you take advantage.â&#x20AC;?

Still mulling over a game his team had a chance to win, Jones pointed out three separate events during the course of the contest where the Bison should have scored.

First there was Dudleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s muffed punt at the conclusion of Centralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening possession. Just four plays into the game, the Bison recovered the fumble at the Panther 19 and proceeded to move the ball three yards, settling for a 33-

yard field goal which was blocked.

In the third quarter came another Dudley fumble and Centralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first touchdown of the night to bring the score to 76. The ensuing point-after attempt sailed wide left, however, and the Bison failed to tie the game.

Finally there was the mad scramble for a Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; botched snap that Dudley recovered in its own territory late in the third.

The following third-and-16 play resulted in a pass interference call that gave the Panthers a first down to continue their drive that culminated in a touchdown to put them ahead 14-6.

Although Jones can and will replay what could have been over and over in mind, the fourth-year head coach ultimately knows these learning experiences will only make his program stronger as it continues to develop as a major player in the Piedmont Triad 4A. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got plenty of guys coming back next year. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be OK,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three years ago, we were 5-6 and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anybody coming back. Last year, we were 6-6 and this year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 9-4, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been tremendous.â&#x20AC;?

Ragsdale braces for Dudleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best shot

BY JASON QUEEN SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

JAMESTOWN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; They say revenge is a dish best served cold.

Ragsdale hopes to have a heaping helping of it ready the day after Thanksgiving for 4A foe Dudley in the third round of the state playoffs. The Tigers will make the same trip they made a year ago, when the undefeated Panthers knocked off Ragsdale 26-10 on their way to the state championship.

With that game still fresh on their minds, the Tigers knocked off Dudley 18-8 in Jamestown in late August. Ragsdale finished the regular season unbeaten and won its first two playoff games, most recently a come-from-behind 33-24 victory over Sun Valley two days ago.

But this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting is littered with controversy that began when the seeds were announced two weeks ago. The NCHSAA allows teams to drop one nonconference loss from their records before

the postseason. Dudleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only loss was to Ragsdale in the nonconference, so that loss was dropped â&#x20AC;&#x201C; creating a three-team logjam at the top of the 4-A bracket and forcing a draw. Ragsdale drew No. 3, Dudley No. 2 and R.J. Reynolds No. 1, meaning the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; road to the state championship runs through Dudley again.

But that road was nearly derailed Friday night.

Sun Valley scored 17 unanswered points in the second quarter to take a 17-14 halftime lead over the Tigers before Ragsdale rallied behind some big plays in the third quarter.

Tyquan Roberts hit Justin

Briley with a 19-yard pass on a double-pass trick play on third and long to set up a touchdown, and the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; balance wore down the Spartans.

Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on to Dudley. In the huddle after the game, Ragsdale coach Tommy Norwood told his players they were heading to the same place at the same time as last year. But a fan offered a quick response: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Different result.â&#x20AC;?

Norwood certainly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take anything for granted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just have to play the best we can,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna just enjoy this one.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll worry about that one at about . . . 10:30.â&#x20AC;?

GREENSBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ragsdale posted a 4-1 record in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dudley Duels.

The Tigers defeated Smith 60-18, edged Northern Guilford 36-31, slipped past Nash Central 39-32 and drubbed Greensboro Day 54-24. West Forsyth downed the Tigers 50-29.

Two Ragsdale wrestlers went 5-0 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hector Pagan at 103 pounds and Khiry Waden at 140. David Woody of the Tigers finished 4-0 at heavyweight.

BASKETBALL DAVID CURRIE CLASSIC RED SPRINGS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mt. Zion Christian Academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls edged Wesleyan Christian Academy 39-26 in the title game of the David Currie Classic on Saturday.

The girls title game was played at Red Springs High School.

Valerie Beale paced the Trojan girls (2-4) with 18 points and Dakota Griffin added four. Sarah Burns grabbed seven rebounds for WCA. Wesleyanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys, meanwhile, dropped a hardfought 65-59 decision to Red Springs in the consolation bracket at Red Springs High.

Leel Leek paced the Trojan boys (3-3) with 19 points, eight rebounds, two assists, a block and a steal. Deng Leek contributed 10 points, six boards and two blocks for WCA, while Sven Sadljac notched 10 points and five rebounds. David Leonard collected nine points and three boards, while Will Coble tallied seven points, five rebounds and three assists.

Wesleyan plays a girls/boys varsity doubleheader at Westchester Country Day on Monday.

Hurricanes strike Lightning, 3-1 RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tuomo Ruutu and Jussi Jokinen scored second-period goals, and Manny Legace made 20 saves to help the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-1 on Saturday night.

Chad LaRose added a goal with 4:23 remaining in the game.

While Carolina remains near the bottom of the NHL standings, the Hurricanes have won three of their last four and have points in their last five games.

Martin St. Louis scored for the Lightning, and Mike Smith made 24 saves. Tampa Bay entered the game 4-0-3 in its previous seven.

The winner came late in the second period when Jokinen, stationed in front of the net, tipped Joe Corvoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slow-moving shot through Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legs.

The Hurricanes had tied the score on the power play earlier in the period when Joni Pitkanen made a nice play to keep the puck in at the blue line. Pitkanen then fed Ray Whitney, who sent a perfect cross-ice pass to Ruutu. Ruutu one-timed it past Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glove for his ninth point in his last six games.

Tampa Bay opened the scoring late in the first.

With Tom Kostopoulos in the penalty box, Kurtis Foster took a shot from the point that deflected off the stick of Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Matt Cullen. Off-balance, Legace couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control the rebound, and the puck dribbled out to St. Louis, who converted from a sharp angle.

Tampa Bay, which played Thursday night in Anaheim before taking a cross-country flight Friday, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t muster many scoring chances the rest of the way, allowing the Hurricanes to take control.

Carolina has won eight consecutive games at home against the Lightning. It was the first time in 15 games Carolina hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed at least three goals.

Jets find bad time to be playing Patriots

BY BARRY WILNER AP FOOTBALL WRITER

AP FILE

Jimmie Johnson (left) and Chad Knaus will be all smiles this evening at Homestead-Miami Speedway, if Johnson wins a fourth straight Cup Championship.

Johnson makes huge blip on radar

I

n the early years of this decade, Jimmie Johnson did not loom large on Chad Knaus’s radar.

That’s understandable for a couple of reasons.

Knaus’ main focus was learning how to be a crew chief while working for a Dodge team fielding cars for Stacy Compton; and Johnson wasn’t on much of anyone’s SPORTS radar as an ex-off road racer who was Greer just average driving Smith for the average Her■■■ zog team in what is now the Nationwide Series.

One of the few times that Knaus even took notice of the California native came when Johnson scored his only Nationwide win for Herzog in 2001 at Chicagoland Speedway.

When he began getting ready for the 2002 season, Knuas was happy to have an opportunity to be a crew chief for Hendrick Motorsports, even if it was with an unproven rookie driver.

“All I knew is coming into Hendrick Motorsports is that I would have the resources to be successful,” Knaus said. “I knew I liked Jimmie from a personal standpoint so I decided to give a shot and see what happens. From his driving ability, I knew nothing. I hadn’t watched a race he had been in. I think the one race he won in Chicago on fuel mileage was the only race that I took notice of him.”

Johnson was thankful that while he wasn’t impressing many people, he had done enough to impress Jeff Gordon and car owner Rick Hendrick that they give him a job when the Herzog team ran into sponsorship troubles.

“I don’t even know if I would have had a chance to race in Cup if it wasn’t for Rick,” Johnson said.

“I don’t know what he and Jeff both saw in me back in 2000 as I was a mid-pack Busch driver. They saw it and offered me a job. Nobody else was calling offering me a job. I don’t think I’d be where I am today without Jeff and Rick, what they’ve put on the line for me.”

Busch wins title, Nationwide finale HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) – Kyle Busch made it a double dose of celebration, winning the Nationwide Series championship before completing a lap and capping his night at Homestead-Miami Speedway with his ninth trip to Victory Lane.

Busch held off a hardcharging Carl Edwards to win the 300-mile race, fitting because the two NASCAR stars finished 1-2 in the final standings.

Busch only needed to start the race Saturday to win his first NASCAR title. When the green flag dropped on the race, Busch was the champ.

Busch finished with nine wins in the secondtier series and had 11 second-place finishes. He entered with a 190-point lead over polesitter Edwards.

Busch had led 2,625 laps entering the race.

Johnson, in recent weeks, has said that if not for the Herzogs providing off-road and ASA and Nationwide cars, he might not have been able to take full advantage of his opportunity with Hendrick.

“They are responsible for where I am today,” Johnson said. “They spent a lot of time, a lot of money and put a lot into me emotionally. They gave me everything they could to make me succeed in the sport. ... They developed me, They finished the details. They prepared me for stock-car racing and then completely taught me how to race stock cars. Through ASA and Nationwide, they developed me.”

The lessons and development went far beyond driving the car.

“They taught me how to do it right,” Johnson said .”They taught me how to act like a man in the business world and to own up to things and carry myself like a professional would.”

Most of all, they gave Johnson the green light to join Hendrick when it was apparent that the Herzogs were running into sponsorship troubles for the 2001 season.

“There were opportunities coming in my direction,” Johnson said. “Jeff gave me some advice and mentioned Rick was thinking about starting a fourth Cup team. I went to the Herzogs and explained my situation. I told them I had a special opportunity with Hendrick Motorsports. This is where they taught me about being a man.

They said, ‘as much as it pains us you’ve got to take this opportunity.’”

The opportunity resulted in Knaus and Johnson becoming the combination of the decade, currently with 47 wins and on the verge of winning a record fourth straight Cup championship today.

He owns a 108-point lead over Mark Martin and is assured of the title by finishing 25th or better no matter what Martin does.

Knaus said he knew he had a special talent to work with when Johnson wound up near the top of the speed charts at a test open to all teams at Las Vegas before the 2000 season.

“We went to Vegas and sat

down and developed a methodical way to learn each other,” Knaus said. “We went out and ran just as fast as (Gordon) and we were trying to mimic that team, ... Right there, I was like, ‘this guy has some talent.’”

The road hasn’t always been smooth. Their relationship became so strained at the end of the 2005 season that Hendrick had to call a meeting to put them back on the right track.

Johnson says for the most part that Knaus still can be irritating when he uses a certain tone of voice to call out lap times if he doesn’t think Johnson is driving hard enough.

“We share the common things like the desire to win and commitment and focus,” Johnson said. “But, we’re probably more different than any other driver crew combination out there. I’m patient and he’s not so patient. ... I think my patience and letting him have space to blow off steam and reevaluate is helpful.”

Said Knaus: “We’re in communication constantly, whether via email or text or phone. I think we have our own therapy sessions that kind of unwillingly just flows.”

With another title today, Johnson will become the fourth driver to win at least four champions and will spark talk of the possibility of tying or breaking the record of championships shared by Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt.

Knaus is still upset that Johnson missed winning his first title in 2004 by eight points.

Set to stay with Hendrick through 2015, the prospects of Johnson making a run at the record look bright , particularly if he remains teamed with Knaus.

“I know Jimmie has the talent,” Knaus said. “I know we’ve got the talent at Hendrick Motorsports, and I know Mr. Hendrick likes shiny things. I we can keep going and get him more trophies, he’s going to be happier. ... We’re going to give it everything we’ve got and see where it shakes out. Hopefully, we’re here in six or seven years doing the same thing.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

There’s never really a good time for the New York Jets to face the Patriots. Since Bill Belichick became New England’s coach in 2000, the Jets are 7-13 against their rivals from Foxborough.

Many of the games have been contentious – remember Spygate and the Eric Mangini-Belichick non-handshakes – and Belichick and current Jets coach Rex Ryan aren’t exactly buddies. It won’t help Bill B’s mood, either, that New York won 16-9 in Week 2.

Not that Belichick’s dour demeanor has been anything close to cheery since last Sunday’s late-game gamble backfired in Indianapolis, and the Patriots fell 35-34 to Peyton Manning and the Colts.

So laying it on the Jets (4-5) even harder than usual might be on the mind of Belichick and the Patriots (6-3), if not to just about salt away the AFC East then to ease the memories from Indy.

“I’m worried about the Jets,” Tom Brady said.

“I think I’d talked a lot about the Colts game and I think we’ve all got to move forward and understand that we’re playing a great opponent, one that really gave our offense a lot of problems the last time we played them and that has a lot of good players.”

The Jets also have problems on both sides of the line. Their running game is strong, but rookie Mark Sanchez is going through the expected struggles of a first-year quarterback. Their aggressive defense was rolled over by Jacksonville for a winning drive last weekend. And now they have some ticked off Patriots to contend with.

Also today, it’s San Diego at Denver, Indianapolis at Baltimore, New Orleans at Tampa Bay, Cincinnati at Oakland, Seattle at Minnesota, Pittsburgh at Kansas City, Washington at Dallas, Arizona at St. Louis, Atlanta at N.Y. Giants, Philadelphia at Chicago, San Francisco at Green Bay, Buffalo at Jacksonville, and Cleveland at Detroit.

Tennessee is at Houston on Monday night.

The weekend began with Miami winning 24-17 at Carolina on Thursday night.

SAN DIEGO (6-3) AT DENVER (6-3) This all seems so familiar.

The Broncos take a big lead in the AFC West, then squander it as the Chargers stop underachieving and begin playing up to their talent level. Then they meet with first place at stake.

It happened that way in 2008, and the Chargers won the finale to steal the division. San Diego has won four in a row, Denver has dropped three straight heading into a Mile High faceoff.

Denver has scored only 16 points more than it has allowed, while the Chargers have a 35-point edge.

The Broncos could be without quarterback Kyle Orton, and backup Chris Simms was very rusty at Washington.

INDIANAPOLIS (9-0) AT BALTIMORE (5-4) If the Ravens play anything like they did in Cleveland, particularly in the first half, they won’t stop the Colts’ express. Peyton Manning is one of the few quarterbacks who tends to do well against the Baltimore defense, which will be without key linebacker/DE Terrell Suggs (right knee).

NEW ORLEANS (9-0) AT TAMPA BAY (1-8) Suddenly, the “perfect season” talk in Nawlins has quieted down as the Saints have struggled the past month – and not against the toughest opponents. Of course, for these Saints struggling means that they haven’t clinched games by the end of the third quarter.

Balanced Panther women topple UNC Greensboro SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

AP

Duke’s Jon Scheyer (30) pressures Radford’s Joey Lynch-Flohr during the first half of Saturday’s game at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Scheyer scored 18 points as the Blue Devils cruised to a 104-67 victory.

Duke bombs Radford with 18 3-pointers DURHAM (AP) – Freshman Andre Dawkins scored a season-high 20 points and No. 9 Duke matched a school record with 18 3-pointers in a 104-67 romp against Radford on Saturday.

Nolan Smith added 20 points and Jon Scheyer had 18 for the Blue Devils (4-0).

They overwhelmed Radford during a first half in which they shot 50 percent, matched the school record with 13 3s in a half and put this one away with a huge run.

After that, the only question was whether they’d launch enough 3s to reach the school record set in 2000 and matched against Monmouth in the first round of the 2001 NCAA tournament.

They finished 18 for 32 from long range and shot 48.6 percent overall.

Artsiom Parakhouski had 23 points and 14 rebounds in his third straight 20point game for the Highlanders (2-1).

The schedule will get tougher in a hurry for Duke, which heads to Madison Square Garden to face Arizona State – and Herb Sendek, who spent a decade coaching at rival N.C. State – in the semifinals of the NIT Season Tip-Off. In having its nine-game road winning streak snapped in emphatic fashion,

Radford was held to one field goal during a 61⁄2-minute stretch of the first half.

At the other end of the floor, it allowed Duke to shoot over its zone defense.

The Blue Devils, who won their first three games by an average of nearly 34 points, cruised to their NCAA-record 72nd straight nonconference win at Cameron Indoor Stadium and earned their 32nd straight home win against an unranked team. But this game probably wasn’t supposed to be quite this easy.

Radford returned four starters from last season’s NCAA tournament team – including the 6-foot-11 Parakhouski, the Big South’s preseason player of the year, and 6-8 Joey Lynch-Flohr.

Both players scored at least 20 points in both of the Highlanders’ previous games, and they were expected to test Duke’s bulked-up interior that coach Mike Krzyzewski has called his biggest team in three decades at the school. His lineup returns only two guards – Scheyer and Smith – who played significant minutes last season.

Instead, with the Highlanders throwing a zone defense at the Blue Devils, they simply went back to their longrange ways.

HIGH POINT – Four different players scored in double figures as the High Point University women’s basketball team used a 28-8 second-half run to beat UNC Greensboro 75-63 in the Millis Center on Saturday afternoon.

The Panthers improve to 2-1, while the Spartans drop to 1-2. The 2-1 record is HPU’s best start to a season since 2005-06.

Sophomore Shamia Brown came off the bench to lead all HPU scorers with 20 points in the win.

“I thought we were a great team at times,” said head coach Tooey Loy. “The thing we need to take from this game is that we had too many let downs.

We had a chance to put the game out of reach early but we kind of relaxed a little bit. UNCG is a very good team and they took advantage of that and got back in it. I thought we came back and really got our game going.”

Joining Brown in double figures was junior Jurica Hargraves with 13, junior Amy Dodd with 12 and freshman Laura Reynolds with a career-high 11. Dodd and senior Ashlee’ Samuels each grabbed six rebounds to lead the Panthers while junior Frances Fields dished a team-best nine assists.

Down one with 15 minutes left in the game, the Panthers outscored the Spartans 28-8 to open a 19-point lead and take control of the game. High

Point shot 7-11 from the field and 9-11 from the free-throw line while also forcing nine UNCG turnovers to pull away from the Spartans. Brown scored 10 points during the run to lead HPU. High Point took an early lead, jumping up 17-4 in the opening six minutes of play. HPU shot 7-11 from the floor to start the game and forced seven turnovers by the Spartans. Dodd scored six points in the early run and Reynolds contributed five.

The HPU defense hounded the Spartans throughout the game, forcing 33 turnovers and recording 13 steals and five blocks. Fields and junior Mackenzie Maier each had four steals and both Maier and Samuels finished the game with two blocks.

“Thirty-three turnovers is an impressive number because UNC Greensboro has very good guards,” said Loy. “Our intensity for most of the game was very good. Shamia came in and did a great job getting our trap set and making people who didn’t want to handle the ball handle the ball. That is what we want to do, we want to get 25 turnovers from the other team every game and if we can do that we will be successful.”

Monique Floyd led UNCG with 13 points and five rebounds and Lakiah Hyson contributed 10 points and three steals.

High Point hits the road for four straight games, starting on Wednesday, when The Panthers play at Wake Forest for a 3 p.m. tip.

Prospects appear bright for winter fishing at Outer Banks

I

s the coastal fishing over? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fast approaching the last week of the traditional fishing season at Cape Hatteras. Most of the restaurants will close Thanksgiving weekend. Motels will shut down.

Many of the tackle shops close after Christmas.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be some more good fishing days, but there just wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be many people there to enjoy them.

A few years ago, I went down on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. I saw birds working the beach as I drove in and caught two 40â&#x20AC;? stripers in three casts before it got too dark for the birds to work. The next morning, I caught five more fish in eight casts. The smallest fish was 38 inches.

At the time of this writing, the water SPORTS temperature at the Diamond Shoals buoy is 73 degrees with a Northeast Dick wind at 23 knots. While this water is Jones plenty warm for red drum, the wind â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; direction is bringing in cold water that could bring the stripers to the Carolina coast this fall/winter. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not time to give up on surf fishing yet. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already been a very good year with more puppy drum than weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in several years.

Normally, the puppies come before big drum. I suspect thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more big drum to come.

Last year, the stripers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even come down far enough for the charter boats to have a good year.

Normally, whether there are stripers in the surf zones or not, the boats working out of Oregon Inlet do a booming business with striper anglers. For the fish to be available for surf anglers, there must be baitfish in the water. On the New Years trip I mentioned, the baitfish were so thick that on every one of my unproductive casts, bait fish were impaled on the hooks of my spoon. Northeast winds have a good chance of blowing in baitfish.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never taken an Outer Banks trip in late fall or winter, you should try it at least once. True, restaurant choices are slimmer, there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as many places to stay and bait may be a little harder to find, but the solitude of a winter beach is something everyone should experience. Until the surf zone temperatures get down to around 50 degrees, you have a chance for excellent fishing. If the conditions get just right, you might just get the best fishing of your life.

For stripers to show up in real numbers, water temps need to be in the 60s. Those kinds of temperatures come from sustained north winds; and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had them for well over a week now with more promised. There have been stripers caught from Nags

In the last 30 days, I fished the beaches of Hatteras and caught blues on spoons and drum on bait. I sat in a tree stand with a rifle across my knees. I enjoyed breakfast with my wife after we came in from the woods. I walked behind a couple of really good bird dogs. I got an invitation to go duck hunting with one son-in-law and had to pass it up because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d already planned to ride four wheelers with my grandson and my other son in law. I spent most of my time with a great dog sleeping just a few feet away. I went to McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and watched my youngest grandchildren play. I had hundreds of other pleasant moments.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry to say that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t properly appreciate every one of those moments. Like everyone else, I sometimes take the wonderful blessings in my life for granted. Unfortunately, it seems fashionable for us to ignore our many blessings these days. Even for Thanksgiving, we often get wrapped up in our problems and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really appreciate the good things in our lives.

In the past, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written columns about Thanksgiving by remembering the days gone by. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a natural thing to do on this holiday. Much of gratitude is remembering. The fact is though, that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re blessed in spite of the current poor economic conditions we constantly talk about. Americans have a higher living standard than almost all the rest of the world.

Few of us have ever known hunger, even fewer have endured losing a loved one due to lack of medical care or living conditions.

There are a lot of things I think we could do better as a country, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still among the most blessed people on the face of this Earth. Most of the readers of this column have an interest in the outdoors.

Americanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opportunities for outdoor activities are almost boundless. Think of the freedoms we have that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist for much of humanity. Thanks to the efforts of our forefathers, we have the right to own firearms and hunt. We generally have the affluence and the access to fish almost any water we wish to.

We have more recreational shooting opportunities than any other country in the world.

There are problems that outdoorsmen need to deal with. We have lost some access in places like

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Al Harrington and Danilo Gallinari each scored 17 points, and the New York Knicks kept the New Jersey Nets winless with a 98-91 victory Saturday.

David Lee added 16 points and 12 rebounds, while Wilson Chandler and Larry Hughes each finished with 13 points.

The Knicks won their second straight and proved that worse basketball is played a mere 10 miles away.

The Nets fell to 013, inching closer to the NBA record of 17 straight losses to start a season, held by Miami and matched by the Los Angeles Clippers.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try to avoid it during a difficult four-game trip out West that starts with back-to-back games at Denver and Portland, capped by a visit to the Lakers.

GRATITUDE FOR NOW, CONTRIBUTE FOR THE FUTURE

our Outer Banks and other areas. There are serious threats to the future of hunting through the efforts of anti-hunting and anti-gun groups, but things could be a lot worse. If we all put just 10% of the time and money we spend on our favorite outdoor sports on access, hunting, shooting, and fishing issues and spend a little more recruiting new outdoorsmen, our future would be assured.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a hunter, this is your time of year. No matter what you like to do in the outdoors, Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful and appreciate your blessings. When you sit down for that meal Thursday, really contemplate what you have to be thankful for. And after the holidayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over, thoughtfully chose an outdoor organization that matches your goals and put some of that gratitude to work by getting involved in propagating our wonderful American outdoor traditions.

SANTA TO A SENIOR

FILE | DAVIDSON SPORTS INFORMATION

Beginning in 1990, Dave Fagg served for three seasons as head football coach at Davidson, his alma mater.

The stuff of dreams From a humble start in High Point, Dave Fagg became a legend at Davidson

BY JOHN KILGO SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

D

ave Fagg had a dream as his high school career wound down at High Point High School in 1954.

He wanted to be the first member of his family to attend college. But where was the money coming from to finance a poor boy’s dream? He was the baby in a family of seven children that lived in a two-bedroom house on a dirt road where money was as scarce as hen’s teeth.

His father was an alcoholic. Not a mean man, not an abuser in any way, nothing like that. But not very productive, either. He worked in a furniture factory and missed a lot of work. His financial contributions to the family were meager.

His name sometimes appeared in the newspaper, charged with public drunken-

’When you think of where we came from, I never thought leaving any kind of legacy would be possible.’

Dave Fagg Davidson College administrator ness. When it happened, Fagg dreaded the inevitable question from friends and classmates: “Was that your father?”

Tough thing for a young boy to endure, hearing questions like that and having to answer them. Real tough. Sports helped get him through it, gave him some self-esteem.

But Carrie Jones Fagg, his mother, gave him everything. Through her he learned real life lessons and survival skills. She demonstrated inner toughness and perseverance against overwhelming odds, and she showed him a love of family that ran deep.

“Be A Santa To A Senior,” the popular campaign that last year delivered more than 2,000 gifts to local needy seniors, is under way again this holiday season.

The area office of Home Instead Senior Care has joined with several local skilled nursing facilities and Walgreen’s to provide presents and special visits to seniors who otherwise might be overlooked this holiday season.

The program will begin Monday, when Christmas trees will go up in Walgreen’s stores across Guilford County.

The trees will feature ornaments with the first names only of area seniors and their respective gift requests.

Holiday shoppers can pick up an ornament, buy items on the list and return them unwrapped to the store, along with the ornament attached. Home Instead Senior Care then enlists the volunteer help of its staff, senior-care business associates, nonprofit workers and others to collect, wrap and distribute the gifts to the seniors.

A community gift-wrapping event will be held Dec. 16. To volunteer to help with this event, contact Patty Aiken at (336) 294-0081.

For more information about the program, visit www.bea santatoasenior. com.

FILE | DAVIDSON SPORTS INFORMATION

In 1954-55, Fagg was Davidson’s Freshman Athlete of the Year, excelling in football and wrestling.

She worked two cotton mill jobs, beginning the first one at 7 a.m. and finishing the second at 11 p.m. Fagg saw his mother come home late every night, her body covered in lint, bone-tired, and it burned an image in his mind that would never dim.

Go find a football player or a wrestler – or anybody – tougher than her. Good luck.

Fagg’s dream of going to college might not have been practical, but dreams often are more open-ended than pragmatic. His was, although his resume was impeccable.

Good student, member of the honor society, played defensive end and tight end in football, wrestled and played baseball. On Saturdays, he mowed three lawns, washed two cars and did other chores assigned

by his mother. Football practice was like recess compared to his weekend.

His first wrestling match at High Point High was against a wrestler from Jamestown High. The opponent beat Fagg up, bounced him around, pretty much embarrassed him. Fagg retreated to the locker room afterwards, where he didn’t know whether to throw up or cry. He sat there alone in his misery and made a vow: “I will either quit wrestling or never let this happen to me again. I might get beat, but never again like this.”

He stayed after practice from then on, not to run yards but miles, several miles

Wife betrayed by man’s Internet infidelity D

ear Abby: My husband and I have been married for many years. We have three happy, successful children and a good life together. I love him dearly.

I recently discovered that he had been spending a lot of time in erotic online chat rooms. He had hundreds of contacts he was speaking with regularly for pleasure. It had escalated to the point that he would have “conversations” with them on the phone or watch them on a webcam.

After I caught him, he promised to stop. I caught him again and threatened to leave him. He swore that he had never met any of these people and that he had used a fictitious name. He’s now getting counseling and expects me to get beyond it. I am trying, but I feel betrayed. I feel as though he was unfaithful.

I am sure you have other readers out there who have experienced Internet infidelity. Do you consider it cheating if they never actually physically

meet the people they talk to? I have no one to discuss this with and would appreciate some input. – Just Plain Sad in Maine Dear Just Plain Sad: Yes, I do consider it a form of cheating. And it Dear would be in your interAbby est to get to the bottom ■■■ of why this happened before you “get beyond it.”

You’re feeling sad because you were betrayed. And the fact that you have no one to discuss it with makes me sad.

That’s why I’m advising you that you could also benefit from counseling, and I recommend that you seek a referral right away.

ADVICE

Dear Abby: I have two great-nephews. I would like to invite one of them to help me on a big shopping trip, but I don’t want to include his brother.

HOROSCOPE

Sunday, Nov. 22, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Boris Becker, 42; Mariel Hemingway, 48; Jamie Lee Curtis, 51; Billie Jean King, 66 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You are able to take action and make headway with pending problems and situations, setting the stage for what’s to come this year.

Following through will be half the battle. Determination and ingenuity will be your best course of action. Refuse to succumb to ultimatums. Your numbers are 4, 10, 19, 23, 37, 40, 46 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Cash is heading your way, allowing you greater freedom to do some of the things you enjoy with the people you love most. Fire up your enthusiasm for a welcome challenge requiring intelligence, stamina and will power. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Trouble lies ahead if you hoard or try to keep things under lock and key. Sharing will be the only way you can ensure that, when you need help, it will be there. Times may be tough but it only takes a little ingenuity to share. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You cannot go wrong if you stick your neck out and offer to take on more responsibility. It will put you in good standing with someone who has much more to offer you. You can make crucial changes to a plan, system or network that isn’t running efficiently. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Put your time, effort and cash into your home. A relationship you think is running along smoothly may not be as stable as you imagine. Protect your heart and your wallet. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You need an outlet for your stress and time spent physically challenging yourself will do you good. An emotional issue with someone you are close to will get blown out of proportion. Be quick to make amends. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t say anything that might upset a domestic situation you face.

There will be no turning back once you share your unfiltered assessment of the existing problems. Outside help might put everyone at ease and lead to a resolution. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Getting involved in a hobby, activity or group you enjoy will help you expand your awareness and your circle of friends. An idea you have can change your life if you can market what you have to offer. Ask for help and advice. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Emotional issues will create a dilemma for you. Balancing your responsibilities will be difficult. Call upon someone you love and trust to help and you will build a close bond. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Stabilize your life by taking control and making the changes necessary, regardless of what others say or do. Once you have made up your mind and you are aware of what will work for you, it will be time to make your move. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The message you send by sharing recreational time with colleagues or peers will be advantageous in the future. Build your support system based on versatility, adaptability and expertise. An idea or suggestion will be noteworthy. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t hold back – if you have something to share, let it out. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by letting others know what you want and need. You may be a little ahead of your time but your ideas will catch on. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There is a lot at risk.

Make sure you have everything in order before you divulge your plans. Someone will be eager to criticize you if you aren’t well prepared. Be fully aware of all ulterior motives. ★★★

The 10-year-old is a sweet boy who always shows respect for his elders. His 12-year-old brother is a smart-mouth, arrogant know-it-all. How can I invite one without having to put up with the other? – Great-Aunt Susie on the East Coast Dear Great-Aunt Susie: Just pick up the phone and ask his mother if you can bring the younger boy along to help you on the trip. Don’t mention the older boy. And if his mother brings him up, tell her what you have told me. However, if you plan to shower the younger one with gifts on that trip and “forget” the older one, I’d advise against it because it will create resentment and the target will be the younger boy.

Dear Abby: How do you handle someone who needs to constantly flaunt his money? That person is my boss. He makes a lot of money, and he enjoys rubbing it in my face. He never

fails to tell me how much he pays for purchases – from cars to clothing, even to how much he paid for his mother’s funeral. He literally approaches my desk with his checkbook open and points out the amount.

This man spends more on clothes in a month than I earn in a year. He takes his cash out of his pocket and counts it in front of me. I feel like he’s waiting for some kind of reaction from me, but I don’t give in.

Can you think of a way for me to stop him in his tracks when he starts regaling me with his next shopping spree? – Frugal Office Worker in the Midwest Dear Office Worker: I sure can. Tell him you need a raise.

Web site offers advice on baby-friendly cruises DETROIT, Mich. (AP) — If you’re thinking of taking a cruise with young children, you’ll want to be sure the ship has age-appropriate programs and child-care facilities.

CruiseCompete.com is offering guidelines specific to each cruise line that can help you make the right decision at http://tinyurl.com/yg9p43z.

Most cruise lines have a minimum age for children to sail, according to CruiseCompete, with ages ranging from 3 months on Disney ships to 12 years on Viking River Cruises.

Some cruise lines, like Oceania, Silversea and Seabourn, allow children onboard but are designed primarily for adults or mature travelers and do not offer child care or programs for kids, CruiseCompete says.

At the other extreme, Disney Cruise Line offers extensive activities for all age groups, including one of the best programs for infant care, CruiseCompete

says, with nurseries that accept babies as young as 12 weeks. Parents should expect to carry a pager, as attendants do not change diapers.

Many other lines also of-

fer some baby-sitting services, sometimes for a fee and sometimes for free, depending on the line and the age of the child.

A number of cruise lines also provide free

play spaces for younger children and areas where teenagers can hang out with their peers, along with games, sports and other structured activities.

Home schooling may be best choice for some Q

uestion: Don’t you think home schooling might negatively impact the socialization process? I don’t want my children growing up to be misfits.

Dr. Dobson: This is the question home-schooling parents hear most often from curious (or critical) friends, relatives, and neighbors. “Socialization” is a vague, dark cloud hanging over their heads. What if teaching at home somehow isolates the kids and turns them into oddballs? For you and all those parents who see this issue as the great danger of home education, I would respectfully disagree – for these reasons.

First, to remove a child from the classroom is not necessarily to confine him or her to the house. And once beyond the schoolyard gate, the options are practically unlimited. Home-school support groups are surfacing in community after community across the country. Some are highly organized and offer field trips, teaching co-ops, tutoring services, social activities and various other assistances and resources.

Diverticulosis diet calls for lots of fiber D

ear Dr. Donohue: Please give me some advice about diverticulitis. What shouldn’t I eat? I have had so many different answers to this question that I am now very confused. – G.C. A diverticulum is a small, goblet-shaped pouch whose stem emerges from the colon.

“Goblet” might give you the wrong picture, though, because a diverticulum is only one-fifth to two-fifths of an inch (0.5 to 1 cm) in diameter, the size of a small pea.

“Diverticulosis” implies people have a few to hundreds of diverticula, and most often they are silent – no pain, no symptoms.

Nearly 50 percent of adults have some diverticula by the time they are 60, and close to 100 percent have them by 80.

Diverticula arise because hard, dry stool requires that the colon produce great force to move undigested food through it. That force pushes the colon lining through the colon wall – creating a diverticulum. A highfiber diet keeps stool moist and soft. That’s the diet for diverticulosis.

Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are sources of fiber. Whole grains are grains that haven’t been refined. They still have their outer coat, the bran. At one time, it was widely held that seeds and things like corn, nuts and popcorn were banned from a diverticulosis diet. The thought was that they could plug the stem of the diverticulum and cause it to become inflamed. This theory has been disproven.

Diverticulitis is another story. It’s inflammation of diverticula, and it is very painful.

Somewhere between 10 percent and 25 percent of those with diverticulosis will experience an attack of diverticulitis. With an attack of diverticulitis, people are taken off food and often have to be hospitalized and fed intravenously. Antibiotics fight the inflammation.

A high-fiber diet goes a long way in keeping diverticulosis from becoming diverticulitis.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I am 28 and have a question about bowel movements. I have one about twice a week. I have even

without the strictures of schedule and formal curricula, it can all be considered part of the educational process. That’s what I’d call socialization at its best!

To accuse home schoolers of creating strange little people in solitary confinement is nonsense.

The great advantage of home schooling, in fact, is the protection it provides to vulnerable children from the wrong kind of socialization. When children interact in large groups, the strongest and most aggressive kids quickly intimidate the weak and vulnerable. I am absolutely convinced that bad things happen to immature and “different” boys and girls when they are thrown into the highly competitive world of other children.

When this occurs in nursery school or in kindergarten, they learn to fear their peers. There stands this knobby-legged little girl who doesn’t have a clue about life or how to cope with things that scare her. It’s sink or swim, kid. Go for it!

It is easy to see why such children tend to become more peer dependent because of the jostling they get at too early an age. Research shows that if these tender

There are home-schooling athletic leagues and orchestras and other activities. Even if you’re operating completely on your own, there are outings to museums and parks, visits to farms, facFOCUS tories, hospitals, and seats of local government, days ON THE with Dad at the office, FAMILY trips to Grandma’s house, extracurricular activities Dr. James such as sports and music, Dobson church youth groups, ■■■ service organizations and special-interest clubs.

There are friends to be invited over and relatives to visit and parties to attend.

The list is limitless. Even a trip with Mom to the market can provide youngsters with invaluable exposure to the lives and daily tasks of real adults in the real world. While they’re there, a multitude of lessons can be learned about math (pricing, fractions, pints vs. gallons, addition, subtraction, etc.), reading labels and other academic subjects. And

gone as long as a full week without having a movement.

I don’t go until I feel HEALTH the need.

Is this Dr. Paul normal, or Donohue should I ■■■ seek medical help?

As for me, I eat three meals a day. On occasion, I forgo breakfast. I have no pain, no cramps and no indication of anything wrong. – A.G. Having a bowel movement every three days, or twice a week, isn’t outside norms. Constipation is predicated more on the difficulty of eliminating stool than on the number of stools per week. So long as you’re not straining to evacuate rock-hard stool, things are OK. One full week without a movement is not normal.

How much fiber do you eat? Fiber is the indigestible part of foods. We’re supposed to get 25-35 grams of it a day. Kellogg’s All Bran and General Mills’ Fiber One have 10 or more grams of fiber in a half-cup serving, an apple has 4 grams and half a cup of peas has 5 grams.

If you can’t get enough through food, turn to some commercial products like Metamucil. And if you want a cheap and easy-touse fiber source, go to a health-food store and buy bran. You can sprinkle it on any food you want.

little boys and girls can be kept at home for a few more years and shielded from the impact of social pressure, they tend to be more confident, more independent, and often emerge as leaders three or four years later.

If acquainting them with ridicule, rejection, physical threats and the rigors of the pecking order is necessary to socialize our children, I’d recommend that we keep them unsocialized for a little longer.

Question: So, how can parents preserve their own peace of mind and maintain harmony during car trips and family holidays?

Dr. Dobson: Sometimes it helps to redefine the boundaries at the beginning of your time together. Let the children know exactly what you’re doing and what’s expected of them. If they still misbehave, respond with good, loving discipline right from the start.

No parent wants to be an ogre on vacation, but it helps to show a little firmness at the outset that can make the rest of the time together fun for the entire family.

What causes them? I had one as a child, and then not any for more than 60 years. – D.B. A stye is an infection of one of the eyelid glands.

The infecting germ is usually the Staph germ. Warm compresses bring a stye to a head, which drains and heals. Sometimes, antibiotic ointments containing erythromycin or bacitracin are needed.

Tree-lightings ring in Christmas season

BY BETH J. HARPAZ AP TRAVEL EDITOR

N

EW YORK – This season’s Christmas tree displays include trees made from feathers at a historic home in Indianapolis, a thank-you tree in Boston sent from Nova Scotia, and the Obamas’ first National Christmas Tree ceremony in Washington.

The National Christmas Tree is scheduled to be lit on Dec. 3. Details of this year’s ceremony have not been released yet, but traditionally the president and his family preside. Tickets have already been distributed by lottery to nearly 10,000 people, but the tree stays lit through Jan. 1 with free performances nightly. The tree is located less than a block from the White House.

Also in Washington, the Capitol Christmas Tree goes on display on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol near Constitution and Independence avenues. The tree comes from a different state every year, and this year an 85-foot blue spruce from Arizona’s ApacheSitgreaves National Forest becomes the first tree from that state to fill the role. The tree is scheduled to be lit Dec. 8

by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

In Indianapolis, the President Benjamin Harrison Home hosts a Victorian-themed Christmas, Nov. 20-Dec. 30. Decorations at the 1875 Italianate home will include a half-dozen feather trees, based on a

German tradition popular in that era. The trees are made from white and dyed-green goose feathers wrapped around wires and shaped like small trees, according to curator Jennifer Capps.

The home will also have a replica of the tree the Harrisons had in the White House in 1889.

“They were the first family to have a decorated Christmas tree in the White House,” she said.

The original decorations included wooden soldiers, and the Harrison home in Indianapolis has been inviting children who visit to create soldier decorations for the tree there for 40 years.

In Boston, Nova Scotia sends a Christmas tree every year as thanks for disaster aid from Massachusetts following the Halifax Explosion in 1917. This year’s tree will be lit on the Boston Common Dec. 3.

The Rockefeller Center tree, a 76-foot Norway spruce, will be decorated with 30,000 lights and lit Dec. 2. You can see it any time until Jan. 7. The first Rockefeller Center Christmas tree was put up in 1931 by workers building the complex during the Depression, and the first official tree lighting there was in 1933.

Grove in Los Angeles tonight at 7:30 p.m.

The attraction stays up through the first of the year. An enormous Santa and sleigh, designed to look like Santa’s sailing through the night sky with the tree behind him, are part of the decorations.

In Houston, the 24th annual Uptown Holiday Lighting includes a halfmillion lights on 80 trees along Post Oak Boule-

vard, with fireworks at the opening ceremony Thanksgiving Day. Also in Houston, the Downtown Holiday Spectacular kicks off Thanksgiving Day with a holiday parade and a weekend of activities that includes the opening on Saturday of the ice skating rink at Discovery Green and a nighttime illuminated art car parade along Avenida de Las Americas, also on the 28th.

Honolulu City Lights, which includes a tree, wreath displays and gingerbread houses, kicks off Dec. 5 and lasts a month. Opening night festivities typically draw 75,000 people. Later in the month, on Dec. 13, the 24,000 runners taking part in the Honolulu Marathon will run right past the Christmas display at Honolulu Hale, which is the name of the City Hall there.

Christmas at Biltmore, in Asheville, N.C., is a tradition that goes back to Christmas Eve 1895.

That’s when its owner, George Vanderbilt, officially opened the massive home to friends and family. This season’s holiday display at the estate, which is a National Historic Landmark, features dozens of decorated trees and runs through Jan. 3.

In Riverside, Calif., The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa offers its annual Festival of Lights Friday through Jan. 3, with 3.5 million lights, carriage rides and Santa visits.

The elaborate lighting display has turned the inn into a must-see attraction for the holidays in Southern California.

Tens of thousands of people attend the lighting ceremony each year and many more come through the grounds before the festival ends The lights depict toy soldiers, elves, swans, Santa and many other symbols of Christmas.

Chicago’s 96th annual tree-lighting ceremony takes place Wednesday at Daley Plaza. A Christkindlmarket inspired by the centuries-old Nuremberg Christmas market in Germany opens there that day as well.

In Atlanta, the 62nd lighting of Macy’s Department Store’s Great Tree takes place Thanksgiving Day at the Lenox Square Mall.

each day. He conditioned himself physically and mentally and became state champion in his weight class his senior year.

He was a good football player, too. Not flashy, probably a little too small to hold college football aspirations.

But he was tough and highly competitive.

When somebody told Fagg “no,” in his mind, it registered as “maybe,” leaning strongly toward “yes.” That remains true to this day.

As his senior football season at High Point High wound down, he received some bad news, a “no” that he couldn’t turn around. He was raised a Baptist and hoped he could play football at Wake Forest, but Coach Peahead Walked said, “Not quite big or fast enough to play for us.”

Where to turn? Fagg knew next to nothing about Davidson College.

Two of his High Point High teammates – Charlie Lucas and Sonny Butler – had been named to the North Carolina Shrine Bowl team.

When Davidson coach Bill Dole drove to High Point to scout the two Shrine Bowlers, Fagg – who had never scored a touchdown – intercepted a pass and ran it back 40 yards for a TD. On the ensuing kickoff, he scooped up a fumble and returned it 40 yards for another.

Dole saw all of this and talked with High Point coach Tony Simeon after the game. “Who’s that number 24?” That was Fagg, 170 pounds soaking wet and not the fastest man on the field.

“He’s a good student and a tough competitor, a good football player,” Simeon said.

Dole played a hunch and offered Fagg a chance to come to Davidson and play football. Fagg accepted, as football gave him his only chance at a college

education. He would never forget it.

Before college, though, a more important thing was at work in Fagg’s life. Barbara Ellington was a High Point High cheerleader. The two had known each other since elementary school, when their backyards touched.

Fagg somehow made the junior varsity basketball team at High Point in 1952, and Ellington practiced in the same gym with the other cheerleaders, so he got to see her every afternoon. When his coach told him he wasn’t

At 73, Dave Fagg will retire from Davidson College in December, after 29 years of service. going to be a candidate to play varsity, he joined the wrestling team, which also practiced in the gym, so he could keep seeing Ellington.

He became a champion wrestler and finally got around to asking her for a date.

It was May 24, 1952.

Fagg marched across his backyard to the Ellington house. They caught a city bus to the Center Theatre downtown, where they saw “Singin’ in the Rain.” The romance was touched by magic from the outset.

As they got off the bus down the hill from the Ellington house after the movie, it began to drizzle. Fagg took Ellington’s hand, and they walked up the hill singing “Singin’ in the Rain.”

In 1954, when Fagg headed to Davidson, he excelled in football and wrestling, and was named Davidson’s Freshman Athlete of the Year. He won the top

athlete honor as a senior, too, before graduating with a degree in psychology.

Before the start of his senior year, Fagg and Ellington married. She stayed in High Point and kept her bank job while he wound up his college career.

Then it was off to the races in a career that took them all over the place: Four years of active duty in the Navy.

Assistant football coach at Garinger High School in Charlotte, where he also installed a wrestling program. Head wrestling coach and assistant football coach at The Citadel.

Then he returned to his alma mater as assistant football coach, and the team did well enough to play in the 1969 Tangerine Bowl.

Then Fagg became head coach, a position he held for four seasons.

He bounced around several other college coaching jobs until 1990, when Davidson asked him to rescue its floundering football program, one that had won a paltry four games and lost 47 in the five previous seasons. The team won 16 games in three seasons, after which Fagg – by mutual agreement – went into administration, and he has served there since, mostly as the highly effective associate director of the Davidson Athletic Foundation.

He’s worked at Davidson for 29 years – plus four more years as a student – and wears Davidson in his heart and soul like few ever have. Call out the name of a former Davidson athlete, and Fagg can most likely tell you when he or she graduated and what they’re doing now.

Fagg, now 73, retires from Davidson at the end of December. The poor boy from High Point and his wife will

leave a legacy with the establishment of the Ellington-Fagg Scholarships, with the goal of a $1 million endowment.

“When you think of where we came from,” Fagg says, “I never thought leaving any kind of legacy would be possible.”

Furthermore, Fagg is this year’s winner of the coveted Hendrix Award that goes to a Davidson football letterman who by the use of lessons learned on the playing field has gone on to achieve outstanding success in his profession.

The father of four and grandfather of eight, Fagg plans to spend time volunteering, making calls for Davidson, and visiting his grandchildren.

Sitting on the porch and rocking is not in his DNA. He and Barbara celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 2007, at a surreal mountaintop villa located in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, belonging to Davidson alumnus and former football player Steve Smith, a great friend of Fagg’s who played football under him at Davidson.

One glorious morning as Fagg looked from the front deck over the magnificent vista, he called Smith to thank him for his generosity. As Fagg described the view, Smith asked, “Dave, can you see High Point from there?”

Tears filled Fagg’s eyes. He could see the two cotton mills in High Point and his mother coming home late from working two jobs covered head to toe with lint. It’s a vision that will always be with him.

“Yes, I can see High Point,” Fagg replied. “I can see it clearly.”

Cat’s death puzzles owner D

ear Dr. Fox: My 10-year-old male cat had to be euthanized. In February, he began to gag and vomit small amounts of food. He continued to be interested in food but wouldn’t eat.

Gradually, he lost 3 to 4 pounds. My primary vet did X-rays and blood work. The vet said he had an autoimmune disease that would benefit from steroid shots every three weeks, although this would not be a cure. He had bad breath, but the vet discounted dental issues. I told the vet that he kept shaking his head when I petted him, but that was ruled out as a symptom. He received two shots, three weeks apart.

I got a second opinion when he did not seem to improve, and the new vet said he had severe dental problems, but wanted an endoscopy to rule out other problems. He had an abdominal sonogram, endoscopy and more blood work. All tests were satisfactory, and I agreed to dental work. As he recovered, he began to eat again and gained 11 ounces in three weeks. The dentist said he was healing nicely.

A week later, he was dead.

After his dental surgery, I purchased and applied an over-the-counter spoton flea product. Being between vets, I was concerned about his comfort because he was not getting his usual meds. Slowly, he began to display neurological symptoms that I did not recognize at first. He began to limp, gradually leaning to one side, and he seemed confused. This occurred over a period of about 21⁄2 weeks. I thought he’d hurt his leg, but right before I scheduled the vet appointment to check him out, he had a seizure in the middle of the night – thrashing about, crying, leaving one pupil completely enlarged.

He could not seem to regain his balance and was fairly non-responsive. I agreed to have him euthanized and have been heart-

broken ever since.

I’m curious to know what you think of the treatment he got and ANIMAL whether you think DOCTOR the flea product Dr. Michael could Fox be what ■■■ killed him.

Thinking the latter breaks my heart even more, as it was my poor choice. I have notified Farnum Industries, ASPCA and EPA. – M.C., Staten Island, N.Y.

Dear M.C.: My sympathies go out to you. I’m glad you reported the adverse drug reaction to the EPA, which has been receiving thousands of such reports from owners with dogs and cats treated with various anti-flea drugs. I wish people would not use most of these topical and oral treatments except as a last resort. Never use them as prevention, as there are effective preventive measures that do not put pets or the environment in harm’s way. For details, visit my Web site at www.twobitdog.com/ DrFox. Those without computers can find information on integrative flea control in my books “Cat Body, Cat Mind” and “Dog Body, Dog Mind.”

The first veterinarian who diagnosed your cat with an autoimmune disease, gave steroids and never checked your cat’s teeth should be shot at dawn. Your cat’s health was compromised by bad teeth (associated with bad diet) and by the anesthetic needed for dental work.

Chances are your cat would have been fine if there had been a warning label on the anti-flea drug you gave saying, “Can be fatal for sick animals and those in recovery from illness and surgery. Healthy animals can also be at risk.”

Your actual earnings are first adjusted or “indexed” to account for changes in average wages since the year the earnings were received. Then we calculate your average monthly indexed earnings during the 35 years in which you earned the most. We apply a formula to these earnings and arrive at your basic benefit, or “primary insurance amount.”. This is the amount you would receive at your full retirement age, for most people, age 65. However, beginning with people born in 1938 or later, that age will gradually increase until it reaches 67 for people born after 1959. For more information, see www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/ageincrease.htm.

Q. How do I know if I am eligible for the $3,900 in savings with the Medicare prescription drug program?

A. To get extra help with Medicare prescription drug plan costs, there are annual income and resource limits. If your annual income is below $16,245 (or $21,855 if you are married and living with your spouse), you

may qualify for the extra help. Even if your annual income is higher, you still may be able to get some help if you meet certain conditions. Some examples of when your income may be higher include if you or your spouse: • Support other family members who live with you; • Have earnings from work; or • Live in Alaska or Hawaii.

In addition to the income limits, your total resources generally must be limited to $12,510 (or $25,010 if you are married and living with your spouse). Resources include the value of some things you own, though not the house you live in.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Santa Claus is making an early appearance to open a new exhibit at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History on the art and business of commercial holiday displays.

The exhibit, which opened Nov. 13, is a first for the museum. It covers the elaborate department store windows and retail displays dating back to the 1920s, as well as the creation of floats for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

During its heyday in the 1950s, the Woodward and Lothrop department store in D.C. was known to have featured live penguins in a window display.

The exhibit follows the research of curator William Bird who examined the history of holiday displays from the early 20th century in a companion book.

It will be on display through the holiday season and much of the next year.

Linda Cook, of Cranston, R.I., examines job listings at a state managed employment center in Providence, R.I. Cook, who is unemployed, worked in mortgage sales before being laid off. New claims for unemployment insurance fell more than expected earlier this month, evidence the job market is slowly healing as the economy recovers.

Fight for every penny Jobless battle harder for unemployment benefits

BY JOHN MURAWSKI THE NEWS & OBSERVER OF RALEIGH

RALEIGH — When Jason Smith was fired from his job as a graphic designer earlier this year, he did what some might consider unusual: He filed for unemployment benefits.

And when the Employment Security Commis-

‘In times of economic recession, people will have a greater incentive to appeal, when in normal circumstances they’d rather get a job and move on.’

David Clegg ESC Deputy Chairman sion denied his claim, Smith did something almost unheard of a few years ago. He hired a lawyer to take on his former boss for his weekly $371 benefits check.

“I felt wrongly fired,” Smith said. “I fight for the things I think I deserve.”

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that with the state’s unemployment rate at 10.8 percent, the scarcity of jobs is stiffening the resolve of the unemployed to collect their benefits — even when they’ve been fired.

At the same time, many employers are just as determined to block the benefits, because the payouts can increase a company’s costs.

So far this year, more than 54,000 benefits appeals have been filed. At that rate, David Clegg, the commission’s deputy chairman and chief operating officer, expects appeals will set a record this year.

To handle the crush, the ESC this year has added 87 officials to handle initial claims and appeals.

“In times of economic recession, people will have a greater incentive to appeal, when in normal circumstances they’d rather get a job and move on,” Clegg said. “Historically there’s not been enough money in it. Now you’re looking at claims amounts that are quite sizable.”

As far as financial incentives go, the past year has been a game-changer: Congress just extended the number of months a person can receive unemployment benefits by another 20 weeks for states where unemployment rates are above 8.5 percent, such as North Carolina.

The extension, the fourth this year, increases the maximum benefit from $13,130 over about 26 weeks to about $45,000 over 99 weeks.

Many people who now collect benefits in North Carolina will qualify for the extension.

The function of the benefits is to stabilize the state’s economy, Clegg said. The ultimate beneficiaries are the stores and businesses where the unemployment benefits are spent on groceries, clothing and bills.

So for someone to lose out on jobless benefits in North Carolina, it takes more than getting fired, Clegg said.

A company has to prove that the worker was fired for fraud, misconduct or gross negligence. Workers who quit can also qualify for benefits if they can show extenuating circumstances, such as burdensome work schedules or overwhelming tasks.

“It’s not a feel-good issue,” Clegg says. “The law says individuals who are unemployed through no fault of their own should receive transitional benefits.”

In cases where a worker bore “substantial fault” for his or her dismissal, the ESC has the option of awarding unemployment benefits without charging the company.

The ESC can award partial benefits to the applicant by limiting the benefits period and not allowing extensions.

That’s what happened to Annie Parker, a 63-yearold nurse who worked four years at Brian Center Health and Rehabilitation in Durham. She was fired in 2008 after signing the wrong sheet that recorded drugs to be dispensed to patients. Parker lost in the first round.

On appeal, the ESC hearing officer concluded the mistake was serious but

A Provident Credit Union job booth is seen at a holiday job fair at Skyline College in San Bruno, Calif. did not rise to the level of misconduct. She won $494 a week for up to 22 weeks.

The state’s benefits policy irritates some business owners. The more a business burdens the system by putting people on unemployment benefits, the more that business has to contribute to the benefits pool. Conversely, companies whose former workers don’t collect state unemployment benefits have reduced payments over time, in some cases down to zero.

Companies that have large or repeated layoffs can be charged as much as 5.7 percent of the first $19,800 a year paid to each employee. A large company with several thousand workers could end up owing several million

dollars a year if it pays the maximum rate. For smaller businesses, even one or two people collecting benefits can hurt the bottom line.

Fayetteville lawyer Sharon Keyes fired a paralegal after just eight days on the job because she wasn’t qualified. When the paralegal filed a claim for $197 a week in benefits, Keyes tried to block it, arguing that as a small business owner she should be able to decide whom to hire and whom to fire.

The ESC disagreed and ruled in the former paralegal’s favor three times before Keyes finally gave up last year.

Of course, the commission can just as easily side with the former employer and deny benefits.

As job losses continue to slow the nation’s economic recovery, labor experts and economists are urging Congress and the Obama administration to boost funding for a little-known program that 17 states are using to avert layoffs and keep workers in their jobs.

Mass layoffs of 50 or more employees claimed 278,000 jobs in the third quarter alone, according to new government data. In the face of continuing business slowdowns, however, thousands of employers are forgoing layoffs and taking advantage of state “work-sharing” programs in which they cut the hours of full-time workers, who then recoup a portion of their lost wages — usually 50 to 60 percent — from unemployment insurance benefits.

For example, an employer that needs to cut 20 percent of its full-time work force could do so through layoffs. If those laid-off workers earned an average of $500 a week, they probably could expect roughly $250 a week in unemployment benefits.

However, if instead of layoffs those workers’ hours were cut by 20 percent through the work-sharing program, they’d each earn $400 a week. They would also be eligible for the program’s jobless benefits, which would make up about half of that $100 wage cut, or $50.

Solar panels on the roof that power the Florida State University zero emission house are shown. Curiosity about solar panels and hurricanes is being answered as part of an Associated Press Q&A column called “Ask AP.”

Questions concern troop death reports, solar panel safety THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A lot of the sunniest parts of the U.S. — like Florida and the Gulf Coast — are also prime hurricane country.

If you decide to take advantage of those rays by putting solar panels on your roof, is there a chance they could be ripped off in a storm?

Curiosity about solar panels and hurricanes inspired one of the questions in this edition of “Ask AP,” a weekly Q&A column where AP journalists respond to readers’ questions about the news.

If you have your own news-related question that you’d like to see answered by an AP reporter or editor, send it to newsquestions@ap.org, with “Ask AP” in the subject line. And please include your full name and hometown so they can be published with your question.

Q. I’m a citizen of Uzbekistan and I read an article of yours that mentioned the number of U.S. deaths in the war in Afghanistan. It said this: “As of Sunday, Nov. 8, 2009, at least 833 members of the U.S. military had died in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan as a result of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001, according to the Defense Department.

The department last updated its figures Friday at 10 a.m. EDT. Of those, the military reports 640 were killed by hostile action.”

This gave the impression that members of the U.S. military had died in Uzbekistan. But how could this be? There is no military action in Uzbekistan, and I have never heard that any American has died here.

Zukhriddin Ibragimov Tashkent, Uzbekistan A. AP maintains information on all U.S. troop casualties reported by the Department of Defense as part of the Afghanistan War effort.

This includes service members who have died under non-hostile circumstances and deaths that have occurred outside Afghanistan.

While there have been no combat actions in Uzbekistan, one U.S. soldier, Pvt. Giovanny Maria, 19, of Camden, N.J., died in the country on Nov. 29, 2001, from what the Defense Department described as a “non-hostile gunshot wound.”

Maria was among 1,000 soldiers providing security at an air base in southern Uzbekistan, which borders Afghanistan.

The day before his death, about two dozen soldiers from his group, the 10th Mountain Division, were being moved from Uzbekistan to Afghanistan. According to officials at the time, their mission was to serve as a quick-reaction force in case of renewed Taliban resistance.

Details about Maria’s death and his assignment in Uzbekistan — including whether he was about to go to

Afghanistan at the time of his death — are unclear. The Defense Department referred calls to the Army, and Army officials said they would look into Maria’s case but weren’t immediately able to provide more information.

Monika Mathur AP News Research Center New York Q. I’d like to use solar power on my buildings in Lake Charles, La., but I’m concerned that hurricanes would destroy the equipment. Is there a risk of this?

Harvey Adams Lake Charles, La. A. There’s certainly a risk. But solar panels should be able to withstand most of the weather that comes your way — even in Hurricane Alley. Unlike roof tiles, solar panels are designed to be bolted to the rafters so they’ll hold in strong weather. Some brands are even engineered to endure 140 mph winds.

Richard Smith, president of Superior Solar Systems in Longwood, Fla., said his company has installed 18,000 solar systems in the Southeast since 1984, and only a handful have blown off in a storm.

“The roof may come off, but the solar panel should not,” Smith said.

“When it happens, it’s typically due to debris like a tree limb or something hitting it.”

Before buying solar panels, it’s a good idea to make sure the installer will fasten the panels to the roof rafters instead of the plywood surface.

Also make sure there’s a warranty.

New textile jobs planned in state

BY ALAN M. WOLF AND DAVID RANII MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS SERVICE

RALEIGH – The state is seeing a mini-resurgence in textiles.

On Tuesday, Knit-Rite, which makes specialty socks for people with diabetes and other medical hosiery products, announced plans to modernize and expand its plant in Ellerbe. The Kansas-based company will receive a $24,000 grant from North Carolina if it creates 24 jobs paying average an-

nual wages of $22,533.

The company employs 44 at its operations in Ellerbe, a Richmond County town about 90 miles southwest of Raleigh. It’s a second bit of good news for the county.

Last week, Richmond Specialty Yarns announced plans to expand its facility in Ellerbe and add 135 jobs over the next three years.

That company employs 140 at the factory, which produces specialized yarn for the military, medical and furniture markets.

Meanwhile in Burlington, a new business op-

erating in a former Burlington Industries plant intends to hire 100 workers next year to manufacture elastic nonwoven products.

VitaFlex will use patented technology developed by De-Sheng Tsai, a former DuPont scientist who is president and chief scientific officer. VitaFlex was formed by a group of investors that includes Burlington Technologies, which was formed by former Burlington Industries executives after the textile giant filed for bankruptcy.

EVERLY HILLS, Calif. – Seventy years later, actress Ann Rutherford still gives a damn about “Gone with the Wind.”

Rutherford, 89, is among the few surviving principal cast members of the Clark Gable-Vivien Leigh Civil War epic, which arrived last week on a new special-edition DVD set and also marks its Blu-ray debut.

When its box-office take is adjusted for inflation, the film ranks as the highest-grossing North American movie release. And many critics and fans consider “Gone with the Wind” not only a Hollywood classic, but THE Hollywood classic – with Rutherford, who played heroine Scarlett O’Hara’s sister “Carreen,” clearly among them.

“It is so real,” Rutherford said. “’Gone

with the Wind’ is an entity. It is like a person.” The actress was interviewed in the lobby of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which had just screened the best-picture Oscar winner as part of its salute to Hollywood’s 1939 output.

“The studio system had finally ripened,” Rutherford noted. “It was a year that we have not known since.”

Rutherford almost wasn’t a part of the “Gone with the Wind” legacy. She was already a screen success, perhaps best known for playing Mickey Rooney’s girlfriend in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s hugely successful Andy Hardy series.

“I got a call to go up and see (MGM studio boss Louis B. Mayer),” recalled Rutherford.

“He said, ‘My son-in-law has been trying to borrow you.’ And I said, ‘Borrow me for what?’ He said, ‘Well, he has a new property.’ ”

Taylor Swift to debut greeting card line in the spring CLEVELAND (AP) – Fresh off her triumph at the Country Music Association Awards, Taylor Swift has netted a deal to create a line of greeting cards.

American Greetings Corp. CEO Zev Weiss says Swift’s abilities as a storyteller and songwriter make her a natural for writing cards that will appeal to all ages.

The Cleveland-based company said last week that cards, gift wrap, stationery, online greetings

and other r e l a t e d products overseen by Swift will begin appearing in the spring.

Swift T e r m s of the deal were not disclosed.

In a statement, Swift calls the opportunity to write and design greeting cards “a wonderful experience.” The 19-year-old Swift, who was named the 2009 CMA entertainer of

Library of Congress to honor McCartney WASHINGTON (AP) – The Library of Congress is awarding Paul McCartney its third Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.

Librarian of Congress James Billington announced the prize last week. An all-star tribute concert is planned for spring next year, though the library hasn’t an-

nounced who will perform.

The 67year-old former Beatle recently McCartney c o m p l e t e d a five-week summer tour of the United States, including a stop in the Washington area.

Billington says it’s hard to think of another performer and composer who has had a more transformative effect than McCartney.

Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon previously won the Gershwin prize. The library houses the manuscripts of the songwriting duo George and Ira Gershwin.

The son-in-law was producer David O. Selznick and the property was author Margaret Mitchell’s “Gone with the Wind,” of which Rutherford was already a repeat reader. “ ‘It’s a nothing part,’ ” Rutherford quoted Mayer as saying. “ ‘We can’t put your name above the titles in our pictures with a leading role in it, and then lend you to someone and let them do just nothing.’ I said, ‘There is no nothing part for anybody!’ I said, ‘I’ll carry a tray. I’ll open a gate. I’ll do anything.’ ” “This ‘nothing part’ has taken me to Paris.

It has taken me to London. It’s taken me on ships just to talk to people about ‘Gone with the Wind,’ ” Rutherford said. “It has enriched my life. It has given me an interest.

I don’t do any of this for money. I’m not paid for it. I’ll just go any place that they are having a hoo-ha. Any kind of a celebration for ‘Gone with the Wind.’ I’ll be there.”

John Mayer makes sure music rises above tabloids

BY NEKESA MUMBI MOODY AP MUSIC WRITER

N

EW YORK – If you’re engrossed in the tabloid Internet-gossip that has come to define the celebrity world, then John Mayer’s latest CD, “Battle Studies,” could provide enough fodder to fill at least a dozen Perez Hilton blog posts or at least one story in Us Weekly.

The single, “Heartbreak Warfare,” already has some speculating on its subject with lyrics like: “If you want more love, why don’t you say so?... Bombs are falling everywhere, heartbreak warfare.”

Hmmm ... could that be a message to a certain famous “friend” who he’s been linked with on and off for the last two years? A look into the much-dissected love life of one of music’s hottest hunks?

Mention this to Mayer himself, and you’ll get a serious eye-roll, followed up with an “Are you kidding me?” look.

“I know some people think that,

but it doesn’t,” a slightly exasperated Mayer says during a break in rehearsals for two upcoming concerts to promote his new CD. “That would mean that my personal life is more powerful

‘No one’s personal life is more powerful than music itself, and it’s just not.’

John Mayer Singer/songwriter/guitarist than the music itself, and it’s just not. No one’s personal life is more powerful than music itself, and it’s just not.

“By the way, I’m not the first person to process a personal life into putting out a record,” he adds. “I think if there’s any intrigue – obviously it would be silly of me to ask somebody not to be intrigued – but I think when

the music starts playing, you’re not thinking about my life, you’re thinking about yours.”

Mayer has rarely shied away from attention. He provides mustread updates to his more than 2.6 million followers on Twitter, engaged in a high-profile romance with Jennifer Aniston (which followed the high-profile romance with Jessica Simpson, which followed a romance with yet another startlet), has written for blogs and magazines and is known as one of the wittiest, media-savvy entertainers around.

But he is weary of those who would rather put the focus on John Mayer, the celebrity, and not John Mayer, the critically acclaimed, multiplatinum singersongwriter-guitarist once heralded by Rolling Stone as one of rock’s new “guitar gods.”

“I’ve never liked the idea of somebody co-opting who I am, and I don’t think anybody does,” says Mayer, sitting in a small room as guitars wail in the background.

Health group finds high lead levels in toys W

ASHINGTON (AP) – Children’s toys carrying the Barbie and Disney logos have turned up with high levels of lead in them, according to a Californiabased advocacy group – a finding that may give consumers pause as they shop for the holiday season.

The Center for Environmental Health tested about 250 children’s products bought at major retailers and found lead levels that exceeded federal limits in seven of them. Lead can cause irreversible brain damage.

purchased at Walgreens.

The other products the center said had high lead came from TJ Maxx, Sears, Wal-Mart and Target.

Please note the High Point Enterprise will be closed on Thursday, November 26, in observance of the Thanksgiving Day holiday, however, the hours of operation for Circulation Customer Service will be from 6:00am to 11:00am on November 26.

The center’s executive director, Michael Green, said parents “need to know that there are still some lead problems on store shelves.”

Lead can cause irreversible brain damage.

Among those with high lead levels: a Barbie Bike Flair Accessory Kit and a Disney Tinkerbell Water Lily necklace. The group said it also found excessive lead in a Dora the Explorer Activity Tote, two pairs of children’s shoes, a boys belt and a kids’ poncho.

California Attorney General Jerry Brown has sent letters to Target, Wal-Mart and the other retailers who sold the seven products, warning that children’s goods on their store shelves were found to contain illegal levels of lead and should be pulled immediately.

The findings released this week come about a year after a product safety law that ushered in strict limits on the amounts of lead and chemicals allowed in products made for children 12 years and younger. Congress passed the law after a slew of recalls of lead-tainted toys in 2007, including several Mattel-related recalls that involved more than 2 million toys.

Mattel said it licensed the Barbie name to Bell Sports for the bike accessory kit found with high lead, but did not make or sell it. Bell said the kit was an older product that passed safety tests in 2007, but the company didn’t know it was still on store shelves.

Disney said the Tinkerbell necklace was tested by its licensee, Playmates Toys, before being distributed – and that it complied with all federal and state consumer safety regulations.

The Center for Environmental Health in Oakland, Calif., said the Barbie toy was bought at Tuesday Morning and the Tinkerbell jewelry was

few years ago, Kathleen Shaputis and her husband decided to move out of state. The decision was driven by his desire to take an offer for a better job and her wish to downsize from a big suburban house to a small cottage in the woods.

But from the outset the couple’s dreams were challenged by their 20something children, who protested the sale. Later, two of them moved into the new property and stayed for a year, cramping the couple’s style, recalls Shaputis, author of “The Crowded Nest Syndrome.”

Nowadays, boomerang children, who move back into the family nest, are more abundant than ever, according to Shaputis and others who’ve researched the trend. One reason is that many 20somethings are now unemployed. But the larger issue relates to what some experts say is an “entitlement mentality” on the part of many young adults.

“Many children of baby boomers are stuck in a prolonged adolescence.

They’re used to getting their way and many parents have been willing to float them indefinitely,” says Bruce Tulgan, author of “Not Everyone Gets a Trophy: How to Manage Generation Y.” One way parents often cater to their grown children is to continue sending them money, even after they’ve completed their schooling. Another is to let them return to the family nest to live rent-free. And a third is to give them veto power over their housing choices.

For example, Tulgan says parents who decide to sell a long-time family property are often surprised to get “a world of guff” from their grown kids who want their childhood memories left untouched.

Unfortunately, the current economic crisis leaves some older parents with few choices. They must liquidate their large family home to safeguard their retirement. On the other hand, others who don’t have to sell still want to make a voluntarily transition to a lifestyle more to their liking.

Would you and your spouse like to make a major housing move now that your kids have reached their 20s or beyond? If so, these pointers could prove helpful: • Firm up your plans before informing your offspring.

Whatever their needs or wants, Shaputis says the parents of grown children should put their own preferences ahead of their kids’ wishes and not give the kids veto power over their choices.

“Make sure your plans are solidified before you break the news to your kids,” she says.

However, Shaputis says it’s unwise to make a major real estate move – such as selling a long-time residence or

buying a different place – without informing your grown children before the changes occur.

“If you spring your plans on the kids after they’ve happened, this could come as a rude REAL ESTATE shock that causes needless conflict within the family,” she says, adding Ellen that it’s ideal to choose Martin a restaurant or another ■■■ public venue to tell the kids of your plans.

• Assist your kids to make a smooth transition emotionally.

Some people find it more difficult to handle change than do others. Although they’ve already reached their 20s and may be living independently, your kids could find the sale of your family home especially hard emotionally.

“For instance, they could be very upset that Thanksgiving dinner will no longer be held in the same place as it was for years,” Shaputis says.

Though you don’t want to forfeit your overall housing plans to please your kids, she says you can help them make a smoother transition with reassurances that they’re welcome to visit no matter where you live.

• Help guide your boomerang children to a place of their own.

If you have grown children living with you who will need to move when your home is sold, Shaputis says you can “sit down with them and brainstorm about how they could make it on their own.”

Of course, the harsh realities of the current economy may require both parents and their grown children to make some temporary accommodations. For example, as Shaputis says, you might need to delay the sale of your large family home until a divorced daughter with an infant can find a job that will cover the cost of both a rental unit and suitable child care for the baby.

“Sometimes the whole family simply has to pull together to make ends meet.

This has been going on since the beginning of time,” she says.

• Realize that good parenting is not always about yielding to the kids.

Alyson Schafer, a psychotherapist and author of several books on parenting, says there’s no reason parents should feel guilty when they assert their right to make their own housing choices, especially after their kids have grown.

“And remember, you can love them from any type of home – even a highrise condo in the city,” she says.

at that point. The rate was up 7.6 percent from the second quarter. That’s a much smaller jump than the 11.3 percent rise in the second quarter from the first, and the 14 percent leap seen in the quarter before that.

While the slowing growth rate is a positive sign, the increase shows there’s still a lot of problematic mortgages out there, said F.J. Guarrera, vice president of TransUnion’s financial services division. The company doesn’t expect the figure to start declining until the middle of 2010.

Two things must get better before mortgage delin-

quency rates start reversing themselves, he said: home values and unemployment. “Until we see improvement in both of those areas, it’s possible that it will take longer for delinquency to improve,” Guarrera said.

The statistics, which are culled from TransUnion’s database of 27 million consumer records, show that mortgage delinquencies remain highest in the four states where the crisis has hit the worst.

TransUnion expects delinquency to rise to just short of 7 percent for the fourth quarter, compared with 4.6 percent for the 2008 fourth quarter.

Mortgage delinquencies hit record in third quarter NEW YORK (AP) – The pace at which people fell behind on their mortgages slowed during the summer for the third consecutive quarter, but the overall delinquency rate hit another record, a new report shows.

For the three months ended Sept. 30, 6.25 percent of U.S. mortgage loans were 60 or more days past due, according to credit reporting agency TransUnion. That’s up 58 percent from 3.96 percent a year ago.

Being two months behind is considered a first step toward foreclosure, because it’s so hard to catch up with payments
