Highway travel expected to increase on Thanksgiving BY PAM HAYNES AND PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITERS

TRIAD – The chance for a fourday weekend and added charges from airlines may cause travelers to hit the roads this week during the Thanksgiving holiday. National road travel is expected to increase by 1.4 percent from last year, according to figures released by AAA, with the average person traveling about 815 miles round trip. The organization also expects air travel to decline 6.7 percent. “Road travel isn’t up very much, but the price of gas is about 50 cents higher per gallon than last

year,” said Tom Crosby, vice president of communications with AAA Carolinas out of Charlotte. “Last year, gas prices were dropping, but the economy was tanking. The economy is still shaky, but it’s more stable this year.” The most recent trend with gas prices is promising for motorists, as gasoline prices statewide have begun declining. The average price for self-service unleaded now is $2.59 per gallon compared to $2.61 a month ago in North Carolina, AAA Carolinas reported Monday. The average price for the holiday season in High Point is expected to be less than the statewide average, or $2.55 per gallon. Crosby said air travel continues to decline for several reasons, including added charges and fees from airlines and security hassles. While air travel is expected to decline, Ted Johnson, executive

HIT THE ROAD

The N.C. Department of Transportation will suspend most road construction during the Thanksgiving holiday to help ease traffic delays for travelers. Most construction projects along interstates, state and U.S. routes will be suspended beginning at 4 p.m. today until 9 a.m. Monday. Two exceptions to the open thoroughfares are in the Piedmont: • One of three lanes will be closed in both directions on Interstate 85 at N.C. 62, exit 113, near High Point due to construction of U.S. 311. The right lane in each direction will remain closed. • One lane of U.S. 220 South at the Randolph-Montgomery County line will be closed due to the construction of rest areas. The right lane in each direction will remain closed.

director of Piedmont Triad International Airport, expects smooth operations over the holiday. “It isn’t like some years when we’ve had an overflow of folks coming through the airport,” Johnson said. “We still anticipate we’ll have a good crowd of people, though we have quite a few less seats flying

out of here than last year.” “Thanksgiving is the most traditional of holidays and the only guaranteed four-day weekend of the year,” Crosby added. “People want to spend that with their family and friends.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Grant gives sewer project a boost Before you read...

Last in a three-part series. BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRINITY – The city of Trinity has been awarded $3 million in stimulus funds for one of its sewer projects. City Manager Ann Bailie said the city was notified earlier this month that it will be a recipient of the funds through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The city had unsuccessfully applied for

the funding twice this year. “We got a call (a few) weeks TAPPING ago asking GROWTH for some additional Trinity’s financial sewer system informaexpansion tion,” Bai■■■ lie said. “We were approved shortly after that.” Randy McNeill, the city’s engineer, said the stimulus funds will cover the cost for sewer project Phase 4A, contract one. The project encompasses providing

sewer to the major streets of Turnpike Road, Meyers Street and Brook Circle, according to Bailie. “It crosses Surrett Drive,” McNeill said of the sewer project. “It will provide service to a part of that Surrett Drive corridor in the future.” According to McNeill, about 25 percent of the homes in the Phase 4A area have failing septic tanks. After completion of the project, the city should be able to provide sewer to about 100 homes, he said. For the city of Trinity, the stimulus funds mean that city can use its remaining $8 million from a

Davidson County considers pay option for the holidays Employees would be able to take off one personal day without pay between Dec. 21 and Jan. 1, 2010.

According to Hyatt and Tysinger, the proposal would allow each department head the authority to manage which days their employees take off without pay, as well as the number of staff approved for each particular day. “This will enable the (department head) the ability to schedule their employees in such a way that prevents a hardship on the department, the other staff and prevents a noticeable reduction in customer service,” Tysinger said in the memo. “We didn’t think it would disrupt customer service,” Hyatt said. “We would give the employee the choice. If they don’t want do it, that’s fine. If a few folks do it, it saves the county some money. “We just felt like it would be a win-win situation to at least offer it and see if any of our employees wanted to take advantage.”

Carolina and other states. Harland Clarke has hired 70 workers since August, the High Point Economic Development Corp. reports. “In six months, Harland Clarke has gone from not having a presence in High Point to being one of our largest employers,” said EDC President Loren Hill. “We anticipate that, when we conduct our annual year-end employer survey, that Harland Clarke will be on High Point’s top 20 largest employers list.” Harland Clarke’s presence and hiring have provided a welcome change of pace during a year of rising overall unemployment in the city, said Charles Diggs, assistant manager of the High Point office of the N.C. Employment Security Commission. “It’s been a positive, especially when you’ve got an unemployment rate over 10 percent,” Diggs said. Harland Clarke serves

about 13,000 financial institutions, as well as investment firms, small businesses and individual consumers. Its High Point facility, at more than 135,000 square feet, more than doubles the square footage the company had at its previous Triad location, Hill said. The company is projecting production of 130,000 check units per day in High Point. The company has operated in the Triad for 54 years. In May 2007, the company was renamed through the merger of John H. Harland Co. and Clarke American Corp. Texas-based Harland Clarke produces billions of checks and deposit slips annually through a network of about 20 manufacturing facilities, according to the business research service Hoovers. The company’s sales total $1.37 billion annually, Hoovers reports. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

the facility at no cost to Stickley. Stickley, which has showroom at the High Point Market, wants to redirect the economic incentive grant to fund the upgrading of the climate control systems at its Eden Terrace facility. Randolph County commissioners and City Council have to reconsider the grant because funds would be used for a purpose different than what

by $1,236 annually and the county’s by $2,366 a year. Stickley has had a presence in Archdale since it purchased the former Unifi Inc. textile facility at 116 Petty St. 10 years ago. The incentive agreement would stipulate that Stickley remain in Archdale for a period of two years following the payment. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Court rules mower isn’t a motor vehicle ATLANTA (AP) – A riding lawn mower may have four wheels, a powerful engine and can cost as much as a used car. If it’s stolen, however, the Georgia Supreme Court concluded Monday that it’s not a motor vehicle. The 4-3 decision overturned the conviction of Franklin Lloyd Harris, who was convicted of fel-

Earlier this year, Bonnie Renfro, president of the Randolph County Economic Development Corp., said Stickley would invest $880,000 and add 20 jobs paying $14-15 per hour to renovate the former warehouse at 701 Eden Terrace. Renfro also said the Stickley expansion would boost the city’s revenue

ony motor vehicle theft after he loaded a Toro riding mower in 2006 from a Home Depot in Dalton into his van and sped away. Because Harris was a repeat offender, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Public defender Michael McCarthy told the justices that while Harris should still be charged with theft, he shouldn’t be punished

as if he had stolen a car. A riding mower is many things, a modern mechanical marvel among them, but McCarthy said it’s not a motor vehicle under state law. Prosecutors countered that the state defines a “motor vehicle” as a “self-propelled” device, and there’s no doubt a riding mower meets that standard.

Teen faces rape charges BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Davidson County authorities have charged a teenager with sex crimes involving a juvenile. The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office said it received a report regarding an alleged rape of a 13-year-old child on Wednesday. After investigating, detectives found the child was the alleged victim of a sexual assault at a Whispering Oaks Drive

home outside Lexington on Nov. 16, two days before it was reported, according to the sheriff’s office. Detectives allege Jason Cecil McKay Snyder, 18, of Harris Drive, Thomasville, committed the assault against the child. Authorities did not disclose circumstances of the alleged attack or what led them Snyder as a suspect. The relationship, if any, between the alleged victim and the suspect was not disclosed. He was charged with one count of second-degree forcible rape, one

count of sexual battery and one count of assault on a female, according to the sheriff’s office. Snyder turned himself in to detectives at the Davidson County Courthouse on Friday and was served with the charges, deputies said. After appearing before a magistrate, he was jailed under a $50,000 bond. Snyder has an appearance scheduled for Dec. 14 in Davidson County District Court.

Charlotte’s overnight robberies were a bit more violent that usual, as three people were injured when the victims got into fights with alleged robbers. None of the injuries was serious, police say. Police say the first case happened shortly before 9:15 p.m. in north Charlotte. The victim of the robbery told police that he was stabbed in the leg by the alleged robber, and that the victim then stabbed his attacker during a fight. Then,at9:45p.m.,policesay, two men tried to rob a man at gunpoint, in the 100 block of Red Roof Drive. The victim fought back, police say, and a gun was discharged during the scuffle. One man, who police say was one of the robbers, drove himself to Presbyterian Hospital for treatment of a hand injury. The final robbery happened shortly before 2 a.m., at a First Citizens Bank on Freedom Drive. During the robbery, police say, one of the alleged robbers fired his gun, but the victim was not hit.

Maybe Senate will kill bad health care bill Health care bill HR 3692 was narrowly passed by the House and is over 2,032 pages and contains the word shall over 3,400 times. Bureaucrats shall be controlling many health aspects of your life and shall be in the exam room with your doctor. The Wall Street Journal called this bill the worst piece of legislation since the 1940s. USA Today said without significant improvements this bill doesn’t deserve to become law. HR 3692 contains few cost controls and cost estimate is now about $2 trillion. As Americans, we all want to believe and trust our government. Pelosi and Reed are hellbent on shoving these bills down our throats, and the only hope we have to stop them are several moderate Democrats in the Senate. Obamacare continues to be about changing, reshaping the American society and taking away many freedoms through the pretense of improving your health care. We all have to be very concerned when a recent survey of doctors found that 45 percent of doctors interviewed were inclined to leave the medical profession rather than practice under Obamacare. Still not one word about any tort reform, but the House saw fit to add section 2531 that

would limit states from imposing limits on attorney’s fees or impose caps on damages. This will put millions more in the pockets of trial lawyers and not reduce costs of health insurance. This bill contains $572 billion in new taxes on individuals, businesses and medical devices such as wheel chairs, pacemakers, heart valves and prosthetic devices. Vending machines will also now be regulated under Obamacare. Stay tuned. There are certainly many more terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad provisions in this 2,032-page Pelosi health care monstrosity. Let’s hope it is dead on arrival in the Senate. REGIS KLINE Trinity

Do you believe government can run health care? Is it not about time that the national and local media, including citizens who claim to believe that our federal government can actually run a health care program effectively and efficiently, take off

the blinders and see the government – past and present – for what it really is: A bureaucratic nightmare that spends (our) money like a drunken sailor with not a whole lot to show for it? Look, our leaders need written instructions just to put their pants on every day. Anyone who really believes that the Obama administration can deliver a health care program that won’t cost gazillions of dollars more than predicted by them has been spreading too much silly-sauce on their tofu. And who will pay for it? Try looking in the mirror. All one has to do is look at the history of our government in action. Can anyone find an instance where a government program has come in on budget and worked as planned? While you’re searching for an answer, I invite you to go into any government office, local or national, and watch the civil service in action. If that doesn’t show you what we’re is store for if the health care plan becomes law, have some more silly-sauce. JOE GRAF Thomasville

I have health care, and I do not want what this administration is offering. I stand with the majority of the people of the USA. Leave my health care alone. They are out of touch with the American people, and are not qualified to determine what is best for me and my family, neither are their Service Employees International Union thugs or the pathetic George Soros crowd. People can get off their rear ends, get a job and purchase their own or fight to fix the corruption, allow tort reform and allow all insurance companies to sell in all states. Americans will not stand for this, and those who put their political ambitions above what the majority of Americans wants will lose in the end. GINA MOSER Julian

At a time when some among us are objecting to school resources officers carrying Tasers in the public schools, high school students (a fourth later was charged in the crime) are being implicated in serious crimes. Of course, the guilt or innocence of these four Southwest Guilford students will be determined later when state judicial system proceedings properly run their course. But already there is ample evidence, here and everywhere, to support the position that law enforcement officers assigned to local schools should carry Tasers. Thursday’s conference, sponsored by the High Point Human Relations Commission and the YWCA, came in light of an incident at Ragsdale High School in September in which a female student who had threatened two school administrators and assaulted an officer was Tasered. The record contains plenty of reports of fights among students – such a brawls at T.W. Andrews a few years ago – and violence in our schools, including injuries to school administrators assaulted by students – such as happened a few years ago at High Point Central High. Officers must be armed sufficiently to provide the protection for students and administrators that they are assigned to schools to provide. Our preference is for an officer to reach for a Taser instead of the standard firearm officers carry on our streets if forced to do so to subdue a violent student. Obviously, officers must be thoroughly trained in how and when to use Tasers in subduing a student. And clear rules should guide officers in their use. Officers in Guilford’s schools have carried Tasers for about four years now. They’ve used them sparingly and under proper circumstances, as far as we have seen. We see no need to disarm them.

N.C. Democrats hope for 2010 repeat of 2008 Senate race

e are nearing the end of the year before a key U.S. Senate race with some awfully familiar items in the

news. Two years ago, several prominent North Carolina Democrats passed on the chance to challenge Sen. Elizabeth Dole. While Democratic insiders were looking at polling data and national trends suggesting she was beatable, they couldn’t get well-known politicians to take the plunge. Even Kay Hagan, then a state senator from Greensboro, told the D.C. Dems no – the first time. They came up with a better offer the second time, including promises of substantial campaign cash and independent expenditures against Dole. Wisely, Hagan then said yes. Fast forward to today. Once again some Democratic strategists are convinced that they have a golden opportunity to take out an incumbent Republican freshman. Sen. Richard Burr won his 2004 Senate race with Erskine Bowles in part due to President George W. Bush’s huge margin in North Carolina. In 2010, Burr will top the ticket. And he has yet to establish a strong presence in the minds of many voters. It’s not that they disapprove of his job performance. They don’t yet know him well. The water already looks warm to Secretary of State Elaine Marshall, who sought the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate before, against Bowles. Marshall says she’ll run in 2010. So will Ken Lewis, a Chapel Hill attorney with some political experience. But national Democrats seem unsatisfied with these options. They’ve courted U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge, former state Sen. Cal Cunningham, former Lt. Gov. Dennis Wicker, and possibly several others. All declined. This is a case where I think the reluctant politicians have a better read of the situation than the local activists or national strategists do.

Running against the grain in 2010 will cost a lot more – in money, sweat and potential reputation – than Hagan’s 2008 campaign did. Would-be Senate candidates here in North Carolina recognize that the national Democrats will have higher priorities than beating OPINION Burr, such as defending incumbent Democratic senators John and governors. Hood Without the infusion of ■■■ funds from afar and the devastatingly effective “Liddy Dole is old” ad campaign funded independently, Hagan probably wouldn’t have beaten Dole last year, even with the help of the Obama turnout machine. Etheridge, Cunningham and Wicker are smart men and understand that reality. Without a comparable national investment in North Carolina, a Burr defeat becomes improbable. Marshall and Lewis are proceeding, anyway. So far, the secretary of state is emphasizing her record promoting government openness and ethics reform, which is a pretty good message for our current moment. Lewis is defending Obamacare and calling for more federal bailout spending, which is pretty much tone-deaf given the prevailing sentiment in North Carolina on those matters. In his recent appearances, Burr is stressing military affairs and his consumer-oriented alternative for health care reform. One gets the impression that he’s taking his re-election campaign very seriously, determined to avoid Dole’s fate. So far, he is. His strongest potential challengers have bowed out.

Inability to compromise may delay Iraq election

whether to commit tens of thousands of new U.S. forces to the stalemated war in Afghanistan. Military officials and others said they expect Obama to settle on a middle-ground option that would deploy an eventual 32,000 to 35,000 U.S. forces to the 8-yearold conflict.

KABUL (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bombings and shootings killed 12 people across Afghanistan, including four American troops and three children, as the White House said President Barack Obama could use an unusual evening war council session Monday to lock in his long-awaited decision on

BAGHDAD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parliament failed Monday to produce an election law that pleased minority Sunni Arabs, prompting U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to say that nationwide balloting scheduled for January â&#x20AC;&#x153;might slipâ&#x20AC;? to a later date. The United States has linked the pace of its military drawdown to the elections, though the top U.S. commander in Iraq has said the schedule is on track for now. U.S. combat troops are supposed to be out of Iraq by August, and the rest of the forces are scheduled to leave by the end of 2011.

TV: Israel proposing settlement freeze JERUSALEM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Israel TV reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is proposing a 10-month freeze in construction in Jewish settlements in the West Bank. The TV report said the freeze would not apply to Jewish neighborhoods in east Jerusalem. Palestinians claim that part of the city as their capital. Israeli and Palestinian officials were not available for comment late Monday. The report quoted unnamed Israeli officials.

21 killed in election massacre in the Philippines MANILA, Philippines â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Gunmen ambushed a caravan of political supporters and journalists on their way to file election papers Monday, killing at least 21 people. The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines said at least 10 local reporters were part of the convoy. Their newspapers and radio stations have not been able to reach them, raising fears that they were killed. If confirmed, it would be the â&#x20AC;&#x153;largest single massacre of journalists ever,â&#x20AC;? according to Paris-based Reporters Without Borders.

The car-crash victim had been diagnosed as being in a vegetative state but appears to have been conscious the whole time. An expert using a specialized type of brain scan that was not available in the 1980s finally realized it, and unlocked Houbenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind again. Houben, 46, is now communicating with one finger and a special touchscreen on his wheelchair.

Israel, Hamas near swap of prisoners for soldier JERUSALEM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hamas leaders raced to Egypt on Monday amid signs of progress on a deal to swap hundreds of Palestinian prisoners for a captive Israeli soldier held by the Islamic militant group for more than three years. The exchange could boost Hamas at the expense of its key rival, Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, in part because one of the

prisoners to be freed is Marwan Barghouti, his main challenger. Israel and Hamas have been locked in on-again, off-again talks since Gaza militants captured Sgt. Gilad Schalit in a 2006 raid.

Pipe-cutting led to radiation mishap HARRISBURG, Pa. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Radioactive dust unexpectedly blew out of a pipe being cut by workers during weekend maintenance at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant, and officials on Monday were trying to determine exactly how and why it happened. The accident at the central Pennsylvania plant exposed a dozen employees to radiation, but the public was in no danger, plant officials and government regulators said.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission said late Monday the recall involves 1.2 million cribs in the United States and almost 1 million in Canada. Sales of the cribs being recalled go back to 1993.

WHO’S NEWS

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The victim of the city’s most recent homicide died from a close-range gunshot wound, according to an autopsy report. Joseph McClease McMannus, 31, of High Point, was struck in the right jaw by a medium-caliber, copper-jacketed lead projectile that was later recovered from his body, according to the report by the N.C. Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. McMannus was at a large gathering at 227 Friendly Ave. on Aug. 22 when an argument erupted in the front porch area of the house that was followed by gunfire. According to a medical examiner’s report, McMannus got into his car after the shooting and drove half a block to the intersection of Friendly Avenue and Hickory Chapel Road, got out of the car and collapsed on the street. He was found dead by High Point police officers responding to the shooting scene. Four other people were injured in the shooting. Records show police have arrested three people in connection with the incident on charges of possession of a firearm by a felon, but no one has been charged with McMannus’ slaying. All of the victims were at the residence at the time of the shooting, which occurred primarily in the yard and front portion of the house. The four who were injured all survived. According to investigators, there were multiple witnesses who offered differing accounts of the incident. A police spokesman said Monday that the investigation is ongoing and detectives have identified someone else they want to speak with who was at the scene, and are trying to find that person. The autopsy report stated that an examination found a graze wound on McMannus’ right upper arm, as well as scattered abrasions on his face and arms. The gunshot wound damaged his right internal carotid artery. A test for alcohol was negative. McMannus’ killing is one of two homicides that have occurred in High Point this year. The first was the Feb. 11 shooting death of 30-yearold Christopher Bridges at 503 Cable St. during a robbery. Wendell Charles Caldwell has been charged with murder and armed robbery in that case.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – One local high school on Monday showed what its students and faculty could do to help the less fortunate in just two weeks. Launching its annual food drive earlier this month, Ledford High School collected 6,300 non-perishable food items for Pastor’s Pantry in Lexington. The food drive, sponsored by the Ledford High Student Government Association, helped fill a large moving truck Monday that delivered the items to Pastor’s Pantry. “This is an every-year thing for us,” said Jill Ridenour, Ledford High U.S. History teacher and the school’s SGA faculty advisor. “We started earlier this year, and set our goal and sights even higher because of the economic downturn. We knew people at our school and community were hurting.” Last year, Ledford High collected approximately 5,500 through its food drive. Ridenour said she was “awestruck” by seeing the school and community come together to surpass last year’s amount. “It really was a whole school effort,” she said. “No one teacher. No one student can possibly take credit for this whole deal. We call came together, promoted it and worked as one. We actually had some students make it a part of their project as well. We took the project, reached into the classrooms and the curriculum.” Jonathan Outlaw, Ledford High SGA president, also credited the entire school for collecting the 6,300 items. Members of the SGA, including Outlaw, personally delivered the items Monday to the Pastor’s Pantry. “Honestly, it’s one of the best

Teenagers get a bad (reputation) about being apathetic, but I think this really could change the opinions of people by just proving that we do care and we are here to help our community.” Pastor’s Pantry, located at 307 N. State St., supplies monthly gro-

ceries to senior adults in financial need in Davidson County. “We get donations through the year, but this is large,” said Jim Deal, a Pastor’s Pantry volunteer. “It’s very much appreciated because then the pantry doesn’t have to purchase the food.” dignasiak@hpe.com 888-3657

Driver crashes into trooper investigating wreck GRAHAM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Highway Patrol trooper was hurt this morning when his patrol car was struck by another vehicle on Interstate 40/85 in Alamance County. First Sgt. C.J. Slemenda said Humberto Reyna, who is based in Graham, is being treated at UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill with a concussion and broken ribs. A pedestrian also was hurt. That person was identified as Randy Barnes, 34, of Mebane. He is also being treated at UNC Hospitals for un-

disclosed injuries that are not life-threatening. The Highway Patrol identified the driver of the car that hit Reyna as Marcella Crook, 38, of Durham. The driver was cited for exceeding a safe speed for conditions, a safe tires violation and improper registration. According to the Highway Patrol, Reyna was investigating a crash that had gone into a ditch between mile markers 153 and 154 in Graham on Monday. The trooper was sitting in his car in the right emergency lane with all lights activated.

Animal lovers blast grandma who dumped pet

ear Abby: I am writing in regard to the letter from â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the Fence in Nevadaâ&#x20AC;? (Sept. 11) (whose motherin-law dumped her grandchildrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cat on the side of the road). I work as an animal safety officer for the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, and I also volunteer for a local animal nonprofit. There has been an increase in pet dumping as the economy has worsened. While the information you offered was accurate, there are many other reasons not to abandon an animal. What â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lorettaâ&#x20AC;? did was illegal. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called animal endangerment, animal abuse or animal abandonment. Because the cat did not belong to her, she could also have been brought up on charges of theft. Such charges can carry heavy fines and jail time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the Fenceâ&#x20AC;? should know that there are local organizations that can help her brother-in-law by providing temporary foster care for his pet until he can get back on his feet. Their members are people who will want the cat in their home and who will love it and look after it. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dawn in Colorado Dear Dawn: Thank you for pointing out that what Loretta did was illegal and that there are options for providing care for family pets. Readers were outraged and some went so far as suggesting that Loretta herself be dumped by the side of the

road with no food, water or cell phone and left to find her way home. Read on:

Dear Abby: That letter made â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; my blood boil! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m surprised that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fenceâ&#x20AC;? needed to write for advice. She should never have stood silently by and let â&#x20AC;&#x153;Preciousâ&#x20AC;? be returned to her abuser. As you said, this was a virtual death sentence for Precious, and it was a miracle that she ended up in a shelter. The motherin-law who watched the family hunt for the cat day after day has a sadistic streak a mile wide. Abby, shelters across the nation are already overcrowded as a result of animals surrendered by their families because of the troubled economy. Precious stood little chance of being adopted and I am relieved her family located her. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Feline Fancier, Royal Oak, Mich. Dear Abby

Dear Abby: I was shocked, appalled and horrified by the letter about Precious. How awful! I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe anyone with a conscience could do such a thing to an innocent creature. And to her own son and grandchildren! How she could watch them search day in and day out, then watch

them re-adopt their cat is beyond me. I hope she reads this and knows what a low-life I think she is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the Fenceâ&#x20AC;? should tell her brother-in-law what happened to keep such a thing from ever happening again. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Horrified in Illinois Dear Abby: The family cat being dumped by the side of the road because the mother-in-law no longer wanted to take care of it is beyond inexcusable. It was flat-out mean- spirited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ray,â&#x20AC;? his wife and their kids were already experiencing challenging times and Loretta not only created an unnecessary expense but added to the stress on the family. Pets provide great calm and stability when our lives are in turmoil. If Loretta no longer wanted the responsibility of the pet, why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t she make other arrangements, like boarding it in a kennel? If I was her husband, I would have left her on the side of the road and brought the cat home. The cat would have provided him with unconditional love, something it appears Loretta is incapable of feeling. What she did shows she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t value her relationship with her grandchildren. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; John in Albuquerque, N.M.

RECOGNITION

Cornerstone Health Care recently honored the late surgeon Dr. Raymond Carr of Cornerstone Surgery by dedicating the conference room on the first floor of Cornerstone Health Care at 1814 Westchester Drive in his name.

ancer is caused by the out-of-control growth of cells in the body. These cells began to grow out of control when something alters their DNA structure, causing them to no longer follow the rules and regulations of normal cell growth. Different factors can cause cells to become cancerous. Some factors, such as genetic predisposition, are not controllable. We can control others, such as exposure to carcinogens. Carcinogens are substances that have been shown to cause cell alteration, thus possibly leading to cancer. Some of the most common known carcinogens are: tobacco, sun exposure (ultraviolet light) and alcohol. For a complete list of known and potential carcinogens, visit the Web site www. cancer.org. Other factors linked to certain types of cancers are: a diet high in fat, obesity and exposure to certain viruses. According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 42,270 new cancer cases will be diagnosed in North Carolina in 2009. We can lower the estimate in years to come by limiting or avoiding exposure to known carcinogens, eating healthy and exercising. Cancer can also be fought through screenings such as mammograms, colonoscopies, prostate exams and pap smears. Screening exams can result in earlier detection and a better chance of cure. Cancer does not discriminate based on financial stability. LoveLine is a financial assistance program created by nurses at High Point Regional Health System to help cancer patients through the tough financial battles they face while dealing with the treatment for cancer. LoveLine sponsors its annual candlelight service of honor and remembrance of those touched by cancer at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 10 at Millis Regional Health Education Center.

Mom chooses not to have her baby immunized

ear Dr. Donohue: My daughter had a baby recently, a beautiful baby girl. Now I have found out that she does not want her baby immunized against all the common childhood diseases. I discussed it with her, but she said she feels they are not necessary. I am sure that when the girl is old enough to go to school, she will face a problem because she isn’t immunized. Will you expand on the pros and cons of immunizations? – C.G.

BLONDIE

Of all the benefits that medical science has brought to humans, nothing has done more for us than immunizations (vaccines). I can’t deny that some have suffered complications from vaccines, but those numbers are strikingly small compared with the numbers of people who have been protected from illnesses that can kill or seriously and permanently damage bodies. Your daughter did not live when polio was rampant. She did not see hospital wards full of adults and young children in iron lungs. She might not appreciate that people she sees limping on muscle-damaged legs are victims of polio, a disease that is now rarely seen in the developed world, thanks to vaccines. Smallpox, once a worldwide killer, no longer exists. The congenital malformations caused by the virus of German measles are no longer a problem. Whooping cough used to take its toll on babies. It no longer is the threat it was. The

list goes on and on. I know y o u r daughter is choosing this path because she HEALTH believes she is proDr. Paul tecting her Donohue daughter. ■■■ She really isn’t. If she talks with the baby’s doctor, maybe the doctor can convince her that her choice is not in the baby’s best interest. State laws differ on their requirements for which vaccines are needed for entrance into school. A local school or doctor can provide your daughter with that information. If parents have a religious or personal reluctance to having their children immunized, they can be excused, but they have to follow the state’s explicit instructions. Dear Dr. Donohue: Will you write about a left bundle branch block? I have it but do not understand the situation. – C.C. In the upper part of the heat is a little power plant called the pacemaker. It generates an electric signal. That signal has to reach the two lower heart chambers. It causes them to contract and pump blood out of the heart. The right ventricle pumps blood into the lungs so that it can pick up oxygen. The left ventricle pumps fully oxygenated blood to the body. The electric signal

reaches the ventricles through two cables – the bundles. There’s a right and left bundle; each respectively conducts electricity to its corresponding ventricle. With a bundle branch block, there’s an obstruction in the bundle. The signal has to take a detour to reach the ventricle. That means that the contraction of the involved ventricle is a bit late, but not so late that a person notices that anything is wrong. The only evidence that this is occurring is found on an EKG tracing. A left bundle branch block is often a sign that the heart suffers from a condition that might not need immediate attention, but it should put a person on warning to do all the heart-healthy things that can be done. Drop some pounds if overweight, lower cholesterol if its high, maintain near-normal blood pressure, stop smoking, become as active as the doctor permits, and on and on. If the electric signal faces a complete blockage, where the signal cannot reach either ventricle, then an artificial pacemaker is required. You don’t face such treatment now, and you might never. Most people with this condition do not.

SPECIAL | MIAMI HEAT

High Point native Tiffany Jackson (center) dances during Miami Heat basketball game.

The big time Tiffany Jackson’s dancing skills land her on the NBA’s best dance team BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

iffany Jackson, who recently moved from High Point to Miami, readily admits she loves the heat of southern Florida. Actually, she loves the Heat – as in the Miami Heat, the NBA team that boasts the league’s hottest dance team, of which Jackson is now a member. “It’s pretty exciting,” the 25-yearold High Point native says during a telephone interview. “We’ve been voted the number-one dance team in the NBA four years in a row.” Jackson, a 2002 graduate of High Point Central High School, made

’It was a little overwhelming at first, but once the music started and I learned the choreography, it just came natural to me.’ Tiffany Jackson Miami Heat dancer the squad after auditioning against 250 other young women who were competing for the dance team’s 25 available slots. “It was a little overwhelming at first,” Jackson says of the highly competitive auditions. “But once the music started and I learned the choreography, it just came natural to me.” Once she qualified for the final round of auditions, Jackson and the other finalists spent nearly a week at what’s known as “boot camp,” where she learned new choreography in preparation for a final performance before the judges. Then the judges made their picks. “Honestly, I didn’t even hear my name or number called,” Jackson recalls, “but my friend was like, ‘That’s you! That’s you!’ I couldn’t believe it.” As a member of the Miami Heat Dancers, Jackson performs at most of the team’s home basketball games, makes public appearances at charity functions and other events, and makes promotional appearances for the team when called upon to do so. At games, dance team members perform an opening routine during

the player and dance team introductions, and perform between quarters and during timeouts. They also toss T-shirts to the crowd during giveaways, pose for photographs with fans and sign autographs. Jackson is no stranger to dance performances, but she still gets goosebumps thinking about her first performance at a Miami Heat game. “The lights went down for us to perform our opening number, and there wasn’t an empty seat in the whole arena,” she says. “It was really exciting.” Jackson, who also works as a waitress in Miami, says there’s no down side to being a Miami Heat dancer. “The practices are long,” she says, “but you’re always learning.” Jackson entered the dance world as a 21⁄2-year-old, when she began studying tap and ballet at Dancers Headquarters. She eventually moved to High Point Dance Academy, where she studied jazz, lyrical and modern dance. “By the age of 6, I was competing in national dance competitions up and down the East Coast,” she says. “And at age 10, I got a lifetime scholarship to Broadway Dance Center in New York.” She was an All-American cheerleader in high school, she says, and taught dance at the Pointe Studio in Greensboro and at High Point Dance Academy. With the Miami Heat Dancers, Jackson gets to combine her traditional dance background with hip-hop. “All of the girls have technical skills – they have ballet and lyrical – but they do hip-hop, too, which is really hard to find in a dance team,” she says. Whatever they’re doing, it seems to be working. For four straight years, the squad has been voted the NBA’s most popular dance team in an online competition. The team also has a few famous alumna, including ABC’s original “Bachelorette,” Trista Rehn; Pussycat Dolls vocalist Jessica Sutta; and “Deal or No Deal” suitcase model Brooke Long. Jackson hopes to be a member of the squad for several years to come. “I don’t see myself stopping anytime soon,” she says. “This is something I really enjoy doing.”

COMPLETE COUNT “I should’ve had a complete count,” Louie said, “but I couldn’t recall whether East had followed suit to the third club. Finally I led the ace and then the jack of diamonds – and went down.” Louie’s memory is fine; he just wasn’t paying attention. If he notices East’s discard on the third club, he’ll know at the end that West had six clubs, three spades and three hearts, hence one diamond. So Louie can lead a diamond to the king and finesse confidently with the jack.

CROSSWORD

Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Katherine Heigl, 31; Damon Evans, 60; Dwight Shultz, 62; Pete Best, 68 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You really need to get away, if not physically then mentally. Explore new people, places and possibilities. You don’t have to spend money to discover – just be openminded and eager to learn. Change is upon you, so embrace what’s to come and ignore those who just don’t get what you are trying to accomplish. Your numbers are 1, 13, 15, 23, 28, 32, 44 ARIES (March 21-April 19): It’s your Aries speed, constant motion and reluctance to stop that will enable you to excel. Don’t give anyone, including those in charge, the chance to ponder what you are doing until you are finished and satisfied with the results. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Consider how you can please the people you care about. You will be inclined to spend a little more than you probably should but, if you set a budget first, you will have a better chance of sticking to what you can afford. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You will be exuberant about the things you want to do but, if you go at it too aggressively, you will face opposition that will slow you down or stifle your plans altogether. Be positive you can handle the heat before you put pressure on others. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Being positive, loving and willing to compromise will make all the difference. A journey that connects you to your past or someone you once knew will turn out to be a lesson. A change in your current responsibilities is evident. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do whatever is required of you with passion, spirit and the desire to do the best you can. Volunteering your services will turn into a networking affair. A geographical change will help you out when it comes to job hunting. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Counting on someone else will be a letdown. Love is in the stars and an emotional issue can be dealt with quickly so you can move forward. There are changes to be made in your personal life. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A unique encounter with someone you enjoy talking to will turn into a much bigger deal – adding options to your current plans. Consider what’s happening at home and make the necessary adjustments. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Self-deception will be the enemy. Look beyond what is most apparent and ask yourself the tough questions regarding your feelings. Stop complaining and do something about the things that bother you. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You know what’s required of you and how to bend and compromise when necessary, so get your diplomatic personality working. Don’t get involved in anything you don’t have time for or you will do a poor job and face complaints. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You will be expected to take on more than you want. Your personal papers will reveal something that needs to be taken care of before year’s end. Secure your financial position and don’t let anyone take advantage of you financially. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your confusion will show if you start to venture down the wrong path. Don’t make a move without considering everyone involved and the circumstances you face. Someone is likely to be deceptive to get you to do something questionable. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Concentrate on doing things for others instead of making promises you have no intention of fulfilling. Assess your past relationships and consider why they didn’t work. You may be just as much to blame as the people you have been involved with. ★★★

BRIDGE “I’m concerned about getting old,” Unlucky Louie told me in the club lounge. “It’s nothing to worry about unless you’re a cheese,” I said. “At my age, memory is easy to store but hard to retrieve,” Louie sighed. Louie’s worries had begun with today’s deal. As declarer at 6NT, he correctly ducked a spade at the second trick. He won the club return, cashed another club, and took the A-K of spades, the 13th spade and the top hearts. At the 11th trick, he had the A-J-10 of diamonds, and dummy had K-9-8.

HOROSCOPE

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A K 6 2 H K Q 7 D K 9 8 5 C K 5. You open one diamond, and your partner bids one heart. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: You opened one diamond because your 1NT range was 15 to 17 points, and you have prime values. Your hand isn’t strong enough to force to game, hence bid one spade and hope your partner bids again. An option is a jump to 2NT – not forcing but strongly encouraging – but that bid might miss a 4-4 spade fit. South dealer Both sides vulnerable

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

HPCA football jumps into varsity action H

igh Point Christian Academy struggled at times last football season. Scheduling games, that is. No, the wins and losses worked out just fine as the Cougars’ second-year program finished 5-2. But three games got cancelled due to issues with the opposing teams’ lower-level programs. Problem solved. HPCA is ready to go varsity and got a big dose of stability injected into its program with acceptance into the Carolina Piedmont Football Conference. Remarkably, the 2010 schedule already is set and includes league foes Christ School of Asheville, First Assembly Christian School of Concord, Forsyth Country Day, Hickory Grove Baptist and Northside Christian of Charlotte, SouthLake Christian of Huntersville and Westminster Catawba Christian of Rock Hill, S.C. “We’re very excited,” Cougars coach Steve Lechner said. “We feel like it’s a good fit and now we have a real clear football goal going forward: to compete and become a team that is capable of winning a conference title and going deep into the playoffs.” Those goals would have seemed laughable even five years ago, as HPCA only began to field varsity teams in its athletic department in the 2005-06 school year. The addition of a football program saw a young JV team go 3-5 in 2008, but enough players came out that the Cougars played a JV and middle school schedule this past fall. Everything has progressed exactly on schedule. “It’s what we’ve been planning on the last three or four years,” Cougars athletic director Corey Gesell said. “Our families are very excited and they recognize the improvement in our program the past two years. Our kids are gaining skill and the coaching staff is doing a great job in developing our players. Lechner enthusiastically began the task of building a program from the ground up because he could sense the excitement at HPCA. “Taking the job, I felt very confident that all the pieces were in place to move at the desired pace,” Lechner explained. “The infrastructure was strong in terms of school and parental support. Coming into a situation like this, the only question mark after that is the players: You need to get the players to buy in, have a good number of

players, and we managed to do that. Our kids have been real serious and committed throughout.” Despite SPORTS the obvious growing pains, Steve HPCA’s first Hanf team of sev■■■ enth- through ninth-graders ended the season with 39 players. This past fall saw 30 kids – including several newcomers from area schools – on the JV team for freshmen and sophomores, with another 35 players on the middle school squad. When it became obvious that varsity football was the next step, Gesell began to look into a football home for the Cougars. Essentially, the options boiled down to joining schools in the Raleigh/ Fayetteville region, the Charlotte area – or the CPFC. School officials petitioned for entry into the league, laid out what HPCA is all about and the school’s plans for the future at a meeting of the conference’s athletics directors, and got the green light. “We’re looking to bring some great football to the Triad area from a Christian school/private school perspective,” Gesell said. “And we would love to play some of the local public schools in the coming years. Our kids are in the community and they know each other. We’d like to develop those relationships in football and other sports.” HPCA makes its varsity football debut Aug. 20 at Bishop McGuinness. The JV team will consist of seventh- through ninth-graders and varsity will run 10 through 12 – standard for the CPFC teams. The 2010-11 school year will be one of great transition for High Point Christian, whose high school enrollment of 240 students led to another move: The school just gained entry into the PACIS – the Piedmont Athletic Conference of Independent Schools – with Wesleyan Christian Academy, Forsyth Country Day and Greensboro Day. Starting next August, the Cougars will be a 3A squad in the NCISAA, leaving behind the 2A Triad Athletic Conference. Heady stuff, indeed, for a school playing middle school and JV schedules a short five years ago. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

North Carolina’s Deon Thompson (21) and Gardner-Webb’s Joshua Henley battle for a loose ball during the first half of Monday night’s game at the Smith Center in Chapel Hill.

Tar Heels bounce G-W CHAPEL HILL (AP) – Deon Thompson scored 22 points to help No. 11 North Carolina bounce back from its first loss and beat Gardner-Webb 93-72 on Monday night. Tyler Zeller added 16 points for the Tar Heels (5-1), who led by double digits most of the way and had little trouble beating the instate Big South

Conference program. It was the 599th victory for coach Roy Williams, now in his seventh year at his alma mater following 15 seasons in Kansas. Grayson Flittner scored 32 points and hit nine 3-pointers to lead the Runnin’ Bulldogs (3-1), but no other Gardner-Webb player cracked double figures.

Beale sparks Trojan girls BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – By closing both halves with a bang, Wesleyan Christian Academy ensured itself a desirable outcome to Monday night’s contest with Westchester Academy. Valerie Beale paced the Trojans with 24 points to lead all scorers and provided the key spark that began the 19-point second quarter that powered Wesleyan to the win. “They battled hard tonight,” Trojans coach Matt Barber said. “It wasn’t pretty, but it was a win. You take it and you move on.” The Wildcats (1-2) were led by junior Carson Thorn and versatile senior Amber Hayes. Thorn netted 12 points, while Hayes added nine. Hayes dominated the third quarter with seven of her nine and brought Westchester within two at 36-34 after

the Wildcats trailed 28-21 at halftime. Wesleyan staved off the spurt by mounting a 6-0 run to close the third. “I think we basically got tired,” Westchester coach Sherry Lawson Ingram said. “We’re still working with fundamentals and they’ve got a really good team. We came back with hustle and heart, but when they came back ... it took the wind out of us.” Ultimately, Beale’s knack for canning the open jumper proved to be the difference for Wesleyan (3-4). As her coach observed, slowing the pace with a fourth-quarter lead can be challenging for an inexperienced bunch, but having a seasoned veteran running the point makes it easier. “I call her my quiet leader,” Barber noted. “She doesn’t yell a lot on the floor, but she definitely dictates the pace of the game because she can turn it on any instant. She can slow it down and she can turn it on.”

Westchester’s boys rally past WCA BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – Much of the noisy crowd that filed into the gymnasium at Westchester Academy Monday night arrived in anticipation of seeing one of the area’s best athletes take the floor. Many of the spectators got more than they bargained for as they watched Wesleyan Christian Academy’s brother duo of Leek Leek and Deng Leek dominate three quarters of the contest. Despite trailing 48-42 at the end of three, however, it was Ike Nwamu leading all scorers with 23 points, Deuce Bello – who had 22 – and the Westchester Wildcats that closed the curtain on a 70-61 victory. “We played our style of basketball,” Wesleyan coach Keith Gatlin said. “We controlled the game. Westchester has two players that play helter-skelter, one-on-one basketball: My two guys can beat your

guys. That’s the bottom line.” Nwamu and Bello ended the night with a 28-point flourish in the fourth quarter. Wesleyan built a 14-point lead with six minutes left in the third quarter. “That’s a really good basketball team,” Westchester coach Pat Kahny said. “We had to make that last run. We’re going to struggle at times, but if we play defense, we’ll be OK.” The Wildcats quickly cut into the double-digit Wesleyan lead thanks to the superb marksmanship of their perimeter layers. The barrage of 3-point shooting – a total of six between Nwamu and Bello – and a defensive switch allowed the home team to overcome three quarters of inspired play from the Trojans. “I didn’t know physically how (Bello) would hold up banging with (Deng Leek) in the post,” Khany said. “I didn’t really want to do that, but having him face up, I think that turned things around.”

HIT AND RUN

---

ith a record four straight championships, it is certainly hard to argue that Jimmie Johnson is not the driver of the decade. With 47 wins to go along with four titles, Johnson makes it hard for his detractors to argue he isn’t one of the best of all time. He’s been so successful because his cars are so good. There’s no doubt that plays a part. Hendrick Motorsports, which fields Johnson’s car, has been the dominant team since the mid 1990’s, but the same could said for Petty Enterprises in the late ‘50s with Lee Petty and again from the mid ‘60s to mid ‘70s with Richard Petty; Junior Johnson while Cale Yarborough won titles in the late ‘70s and Darrell Waltrip won championships in the early ‘80s; and Richard Childress Racing

from the mid ‘80s through the ‘90s while it won multiple Cups with Dale Earnhardt. As good as Hendrick’s cars are, Johnson has to have some ability to take advantage of the equipment. Several drivers have passed through the Hendrick stable, but weren’t able to stay because they rarely got a whiff of victory lane. Some say Johnson’s feats are diminished because crew chief Chad Knaus had been caught bending the rules from time to time, and there were questions about his cars during this Chase. Well, Johnson readily says he tried to get around the rules, and Childress’ cars at times haven’t been squeaky clean. Some say Johnson’s titles aren’t as important as Petty’s or Eanrhardt’s or Yarborough’s or even Jeff Gordon’s because they

came under the 10-race Chase playoff format. Johnson and Knaus certainly have learned how to attack the Chase over the past six years, but here’s betting that they would be successful if the title was still determined by points throughout the season. Who knows how much they sandbag in the 26-race regular season while gearing up for the playoff? Given the circumstances, Johnson and Knaus have done better than anyone else in the Chase era. Johnson has put up enough numbers to be considered one of the 10 best drivers in the sport’s history. He’s set to stay with Hendrick for at least six more seasons – certainly enough time to put up enough numbers to be considered one of the top five.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

Joe Mauer sat behind a table on a podium in a conference room at the Metrodome when Justin Morneau shouted out the last question of the day. “Are you finally going to buy dinner now?” Morneau said to his teammate from the audience, one MVP to another. Mauer became only the second catcher in 33 years to win the American League Most Valuable Player Award, finishing first in a near-unanimous vote Monday. The Minnesota Twins star received 27 of 28 first-place votes and 387 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Yankees teammates Mark Teixeira (225 points) and Derek Jeter (193) followed. Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera drew the other first-place vote and was fourth with 171 points. Mauer became the second Twins player to win in four years, following Morneau in 2006. Mauer led the AL in batting average (.365), on-base percentage (.444) and slugging percentage (.587). Mauer set career bests with 28 homers and 96 RBIs.

Defense still the key for No. 23 Tar Heels CHAPEL HILL (AP) – From the start of the season, North Carolina’s players and coaches knew their success largely would be determined by how well their talented defense carried the burden for a young offense. Judging by where the No. 23 Tar Heels stand as they close the regular season, that unit lived up to its responsibility. North Carolina ranks in the top 12 nationally in four major defensive categories, including fifth in total defense (261.6 yards) and 11th in scoring (15.9 points). They’ve become more opportunistic with takeaways in the Tar Heels’ four-game winning streak and have even scored four touchdowns in the past two weeks heading into this weekend’s finale at rival N.C. State. “Defense is the one thing that can be consistent,” coach Butch Davis

said Monday. “You may not catch the ball or throw the ball as well. There’s a lot of variables that may happen, and you can’t control the weather. There’s been some games where we’ve played well offensively, but certainly the defense has been the one rock we’ve been able to count on.” UNC (8-3, 4-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) had nine starters back on a unit that ranked among the nation’s best in forcing turnovers last season. Compare that to an offense that had lost three receivers to the NFL draft and key offensive linemen to injury early in the season, hindering the team both with running and throwing the ball. But North Carolina has held eight opponents to fewer than 20 points this year and forced 22 turnovers in the last six games after a slow start.

The only blips on the radar came in a 24-7 loss at Georgia Tech in which the offense managed 154 yards and left the defense on the field for 42 minutes against the Yellow Jackets’ option attack; and a 3027 loss to Florida State in which the Seminoles rallied from a 24-6 thirdquarter deficit on Oct. 22. North Carolina hasn’t lost since. The unit’s play has been particularly impressive in the past four games, starting with holding Virginia Tech to 17 points on the road before recovering the fumble that led to the last-play field goal for the win. Now the Tar Heels are playing with a chance to improve their bowl positioning, not to mention earn nine wins in a season for the first time since Mack Brown’s last team here went 11-1 and finished sixth in the country a dozen years ago.

C-USA East on the line for Southern Miss, ECU GREENVILLE (AP) – For all the firsts East Carolina experienced during its rapid rise to prominence last season, there’s one thing that group didn’t do. The Pirates (7-4, 6-1) can take care of that nagging detail – home-field advantage for the Conference USA championship game – by beating Southern Mississippi this weekend. Last year’s bunch, which vaulted up the national rankings and briefly threatened to bust the BCS before a midseason fade, had to go on the road to win its first league title. But don’t expect Skip Holtz to use his pregame speech to tell his team how important its regular-season finale is. “I’m not going to talk to

them Friday night about, ‘Look at everything riding on this game,’ ” Holtz said Monday. “The last thing you want to do is mount more pressure on them so they go out there all tense and tight. “I want them to understand what’s on the table, what we’re playing for ... but I don’t want to turn and put those things on the table Friday night before they run out on the field,” he added. “I’d like to put it out early in the week ... and then let’s turn and put that stuff behind us and now let’s just talk about Southern Miss.” That’s because, for everything the Pirates can gain by beating the Golden Eagles (7-4, 5-2), they

have just as much to lose in what amounts to a winner-take-all game for the East Division title. A win by Southern Miss – which has dominated the rivalry – would send coach Larry Fedora’s team to next week’s C-USA title game. The Golden Eagles have won 11 of 13 meetings and haven’t lost in Greenville since 1994. “There’s a lot of great things that you can sit and motivate them with, but I think the biggest motivating factor is going to be to have the opportunity to play for a conference championship by winning this game, and it’s going to have to be the opportunity to play Southern Miss,” Holtz said.

N.C. State’s Bible diagnosed with leukemia RALEIGH (AP) – N.C. State offensive coordinator Dana Bible has been diagnosed with leukemia and won’t coach the Wolfpack’s season finale against No. 23 North Carolina. Head coach Tom O’Brien said Bible will remain in a Chapel Hill cancer center for 30 days of treatment. The school said Bible has been diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia.

“It’s shocking to everybody,” O’Brien said Monday. “They’re still doing tests.” Bible, 56, didn’t travel with the Wolfpack in last weekend’s loss at Virginia Tech. O’Brien said Bible became ill last week and sought medical attention Thursday, then learned Friday he would have to skip the trip and was hospitalized that night. “He’s a tough old guy and he’ll

fight,” O’Brien said. “Prayers would be welcome, and they’re definitely needed.” Bible also serves as N.C. State’s quarterbacks and receivers coach. He’s coached under O’Brien since 1999 when they were at Boston College. Bible handled play-calling duties for the Wolfpack, so O’Brien said that the team will handle that “by committee” against the Tar Heels.

RICHMOND, Texas (AP) – Anna Nordqvist won the LPGA Tour Championship on Monday and Lorena Ochoa finished second to win her fourth consecutive player of the year award by one point over Jiyai Shin. The 22-year-old Nordqvist shot a final-round 65 on Monday to finish 13 under par. Ochoa was two strokes back and won the top player honor when Shin couldn’t chip in from the front of the 18th hole. Shin led Ochoa by eight points (156-148) in the race entering the tournament. Once Ochoa finished second, Shin had to place no worse than seventh to win the player of the year award. Shin settled for a par on the last hole and finished tied for eighth, giving Ochoa the player award by a 160-159 score.

SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – Head coach Craig Cozart has announced five players who will join the High Point University baseball team in 2010-11. Cody Allen, Anthony Figliolia, Maverick Miles, Preston Packrall and Pat Quinn have signed National Letters of Intent to join the Panthers in the fall of 2010. “We are very excited about our second recruiting class at High Point University,” Cozart said. Cody Allen (Orlando, Fla./Boone) will join the Panthers for his junior season. Allen played his freshman season at the University of Central Florida where he tied a teamhigh with 21 appearances, collecting a 2-1 record with a 4.58 ERA and one save. He recorded 45 strikeouts in 391⁄3 innings. Allen redshirted his second season at UCF and will play at St. Petersburg College this spring before coming to HPU next fall. Anthony Figliolia (Winter Springs, Fla./Winter Springs) is also a junior transfer from UCF. Figliolia will fill many roles as a player for the Panthers, he will see time in the infield or outfield and make relief appearances for the pitching corps. Figliolia will play for the State College of Florida this spring. As a freshman at UCF, he made 18 relief appearances, going 1-1 with 23 strikeouts. For the Winter Park Diamond Dawgs summer league, Figliolia led the team with a .398 bat-

ting average and 19 runs scored. He had 10 RBI and eight stolen bases. He also went 3-0 with a 2.93 ERA in six starts. Maverick Miles (China Grove/South Rowan) will join the team after an excellent high school career at South Rowan. Miles was a three-time AllCounty selection, threetime All-North Piedmont Conference honoree and the Charlotte Observer Athlete of the Year in both baseball and pole vault as a sophomore. He has been playing shortstop and third base at South Rowan, but will likely move to the outfield for HPU. Preston Packrall (Tampa, Fla./Clearwater Central Catholic) was an All-County honorable mention selection in 2009 for Clearwater Central Catholic high school. He was also named to the Dunedin All-Tournament team in 2009 and was listed as one of the top 10 hitters in Pinellas County in 2009. Packrall earned the Clearwater Central Catholic 20 hits award and team MVP award in 2009. Packrall will compete for time at shortstop and will also be an option for the pitching staff. Pat Quinn (Quaker Hill, Conn./Waterford) is the final member of the 2010-11 recruiting class. Quinn is a junior transfer who pitched his freshman season at the University of Maine and will play the 2010 season at St. Petersburg College with Cody Allen. He went 6-0 with a 1.42 ERA and 33 strikeouts in seven appearances for Maine.

NEW YORK (AP) – Investors halted a three-day losing streak on the stock market Monday, sending prices broadly higher on a weaker dollar and better-than-expected home sales numbers. Major stock indexes soared more than 1 percent, including the Dow Jones industrials, which rose 133 points to a 13-month high. Volume was thin ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, which can exaggerate the size of swings in the market. Meanwhile, bond prices retreated as investors regained their appetite for risk. Low interest rates and a resulting slide in the dollar have been big drivers behind the stock market’s eightmonth rally. Low interest rates enable investors to borrow cheaply and buy assets like stocks and commodities that have the potential to earn high-

The Dow rose as much as 177 points to a 13month trading high of 10,495.61. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 14.86, or 1.4 percent, to 1,106.24, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 29.97, or 1.4 percent, to 2,176.01. Four stocks rose for every one that fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to a low 979.9 million shares, compared with 1.1 billion Friday. Many traders were already on vacation for Thanksgiving, and the decreased volume can contribute to price swings. The ICE Futures U.S. dollar index, a widely used measure of the dollar against other currencies, fell 0.7 percent.

Late payments on credit cards drop to credit reporting agency TransUnion. The decline is significant not just for its size but also for its timing, since delinquency rates usually rise in the third quarter from the prior period, said Ezra Becker of TransUnion’s financial services group. Taken together with the more than 11 percent decline seen between the first and second quarters, the results

indicate that consumers are getting better at handling their debt. In contrast with where consumers stood one year ago, the third-quarter delinquency rate was basically flat with the 2008 third quarter, when 1.09 percent of card payments were 90 days or more past due. TransUnion measures credit card delinquencies

at 90 days because three months is considered an indicator that the card holder will default since it is difficult to make up that many missed payments. Credit card delinquencies were highest in Nevada (1.98 percent), Florida (1.47 percent), Arizona (1.35 percent) and California (1.33 percent), the states hardest hit by the housing crisis.

October gains lift hopes for housing market WASHINGTON (AP) – First-time buyers seized on an expiring tax credit, low mortgage rates and falling prices to boost home sales in October to their highest level in 2½ years. Home sales are now nearly 37 percent above from their bottom in January, though still 16 percent below their

peak in 2005. At the current sales pace, there’s a modest seven-month supply for sale. In some areas, there are bidding wars. The report Monday from the National Association of Realtors pleased investors on Wall Street. And analysts said the homebuyer tax credit, which

has been extended, will help sustain the housing market next year. Yet the overall economy is likely to benefit only slightly from higher home sales. Too many factors are weighing on the fledgling recovery. Home construction is weak. Foreclosures are rising. Job creation is

Google buys ad specialist Teracent MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Google has bought a Silicon Valley startup that customizes the online billboards known as display advertising. The acquisition of Teracent is another example of how Google is trying to become a bigger player in the Internetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s display advertising market. Google so far has made most of its money from short text messages placed alongside Internet search results and other Web content. Teracent, which is based in San Mateo, Calif., was started in 2006 by Vikas Jha. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a former engineer at one-time Google rival Inktomi.

Oil rises above $79 amid Iranian war game NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Oil prices rose above $79 a barrel Monday on a weakening dollar and as Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s war games, aimed at protecting its nuclear plants, deepened tensions in the oil-rich region. By late morning, benchmark crude for December delivery gained $2.05 to $79.52 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Feds link Chinese drywall to problems

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The federal government said Monday that it has found a â&#x20AC;&#x153;strong associationâ&#x20AC;? between problematic imported Chinese drywall and corrosion of pipes and wires, a conclusion that supports complaints by thousands of homeowners over the last year. In its second report on the potentially defective building materials. The U.S. Consumer Product

Safety Commission said its investigation also has found a â&#x20AC;&#x153;possibleâ&#x20AC;? link between health problems reported by homeowners and higher-than-normal levels of hydrogen sulfide gas emitted from the wallboard coupled with formaldehyde, which is commonly found in new houses. The commission, along with the Environmental Protection Agency and the Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention, continues to study the potential health effects, and the long-term implications of the corrosion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can say that we believe that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a number of different chemicals that when brought together can be related to some of these irritant health effects that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been getting reports of,â&#x20AC;? said CPSC spokesman Scott Wolfson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still working toward that ex-

act nexus.â&#x20AC;? The commission said it can now move forward with additional studies to identify effective remediation of the problem and potential assistance from the federal government. However, Warren Friedman of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too soon to discuss specifics of any financial assistance homeowners could get.
