Small retailers expect some impact from Black Friday BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

PAM HAYNES | HPE

Cheryle Parrish shops at The Guilded Lily on Wednesday, one of the city’s smaller retailers that hopes it can cash in on Black Friday traffic.

HIGH POINT – Tami Hendrix, owner of Meg’s Gifts, knows that Black Friday is targeted at major retailers like WalMart, Kmart and Target. But she figures the busiest shopping day of the year can’t hurt her business either. She didn’t open her doors at sunrise like major stores, and she didn’t send out numerous circulars and advertisements, but her store is open and ready to sell to customers who are willing to buy today. “We always have quite a bit of traffic on Black Friday since everyone is out and about,” said Hendrix, whose

store is at 205 Neal Place. “In my experience, people are out shopping for Christmas gifts, so they are looking for a variety of things. I don’t think small businesses are excluded at all.” Hendrix said she expects more impact on her new seasonal store at Oak Hollow Mall, which opened at 6 a.m. today. This is the first year she has set up shop at the mall. “We think we’ll see more impact from Black Friday than ever before because of that store,” she said. Other small retailers didn’t open early either, but they are hoping that shoppers who were lured out by major retailers this morning will

stop by their stores as well. “It’s speculation,” said Ann Currie, a manager at Gilded Lily at 1104 N. Main St. “We’ve got a lot of people coming in that know about our deals on Black Friday, but we don’t ever know the real outcome until it’s over.” Currie said the store probably wouldn’t see a huge impact from Black Friday, but she is optimistic that a combination of heavy shopper traffic that day and advertisements hanging in their windows and placed on their sidewalks will draw more shoppers in who wouldn’t have been out otherwise. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Called to serve Volunteers, ministry feed those in need BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Thanksgiving Day wasn’t about eating a big dinner of turkey and fixings for hundreds of volunteers at Carter Brothers Barbecue and Ribs on Thursday. It was about ensuring that others in need had a meal to enjoy. His Laboring Few Biker Ministries and the owners and employees of Carter Brothers teamed up for the 16th year to feed those who might not have received a dinner otherwise. About 3,500 meals were delivered and 500 more were served in-house, an increase from the amount served last year. “We have a lot more people in need this year,” said Steve Erwin, pastor of His Laboring Few Biker Ministries. “I think this means a lot to the community because the economy has gotten worse each year.” Volunteers began preparing the dinner nearly two weeks ago when they began to cook 400 turkeys. Other cooks were up late last night preparing the final fixings. The meals were delivered to the sick and elderly who could

not prepare a dinner on their own. Others piled into the restaurant between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. to receive their plates. “Some people who are shut in their homes may not see anyone else but us today,” said Cheri Taylor, a member of His Laboring Few Biker Ministries and an annual volunteer at the event. “Not only does it give them food, but it shows them that there are people who still care.” Jim Clary, also an annual volunteer, found out about the event from a Carter Brothers employee. He said he participates each year to “do the work the Lord calls me to do.” “More people are out of work this year, so there is a big, big need,” he said. “So many of us don’t know what it’s like to go without.” Erwin said the annual Thanksgiving dinner started in 1993 with a simple goal: to help others. “We started with a heart to help people. It just grew from there,” he said. The ministry next will begin preparations for its annual Christmas dinner that also feeds those in need on Christmas Day.

Agency promotes way for companies to save on unemployment taxes BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

AT A GLANCE

TRIAD – The state’s job service agency is offering a way for North Carolina employers to save on their 2010 unemployment tax expense by acting before the end of this year. Many employers may be eligible to reduce their 2010 unemployment insurance tax rates, saving from as little as $50 to as much as $1 million next year, depending on the size of the work force of the business. Employers can reduce their expense next year by making a voluntary tax contribution to the N.C. Employment Security Commission before Dec. 16, the agency reports. Information about the voluntary contribution was included in new unemployment tax rate forms, which were mailed to employers in mid-November. “We hope a great number of the

For more information, employers may check the ESC’s Web site – www.ncesc.com – to access a voluntary contribution calculator.

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) – Basketball star Shaquille O’Neal paid for the funeral of a 5-year-old North Carolina girl after being moved by national news coverage of the case of Shaniya Davis, who police say was kidnapped and killed. The Cleveland Cavaliers player was touched by the stories he saw and got in touch with the family to see what he could do to help, a spokeswoman for O’Neal said Thursday. Davis More than 2,000 people attended the girl’s funeral Sunday. Her body was found Nov. 16 beside a rural road. Her mother, Antionette Davis, who had reported the child missing six days earlier, is charged with O’Neal human trafficking and child abuse involving prostitution. Mario McNeill is charged with murder, rape and kidnapping in the case. “I was sitting at home watching it on the news, and the story brought a tear to my eye,” O’Neal told The Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper.

Moses Carey Jr. in Raleigh. “By getting these funds early, we help rebuild the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund even more quickly, and the employers get a savings to use in building their businesses.” Only employers with a certain history of layoffs or steady employment are eligible to make the voluntary contribution. New employers’ rates are set, by law, at 1.2 percent for about two years, according to the ESC. The funds that are paid in advance would come to the ESC during a period – the first quarter – when revenue received from employers’ taxes is the lowest of the year, the agency reports. Additional revenue would increase the cash flow of the trust fund and help the ESC assist people out of work during a period of high unemployment. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

WAYNESVILLE – Misdemeanor poaching charges are pending against a Granville County man suspected of shooting a bull elk in the Cataloochee Valley area of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The suspect’s name is being withheld until an airtight case is ready for prosecution through the federal court system, park officials said. Around 10:30 a.m. Nov. 13, Cataloochee park rangers discovered the carcass of bull No. 21 lying along the edge of valley pastureland in Cataloochee Valley. The elk, one of the herd’s most stellar bulls, appeared to have been shot, said Great Smoky Mountains National Park Management Assistant Bob Miller. Authorities are awaiting the results of a necropsy report, currently underway by the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, to confirm the cause of death. Meanwhile, charges against the man suspected of the crime are pending further investigation. A witness in the valley at the time the elk was killed heard shots being fired and recorded a description of a vehicle seen

grown in the mountains. Farmers in the Piedmont and coastal plain grow pines, cedars and other varieties well-suited to warmer conditions. North Carolina was second in the nation in Christmas tree sales in 2008 at $100 million.

in the valley at that time, including a tag number. , said Miller. That description led park authorities to identify a Granville County man who confessed to the shooting to investigators the following day. The suspect’s name will not be released until charges are filed. Investigators have not yet determined a motive. “We have no idea if he came out there to do this or if it was a crime of opportunity,” said Miller, adding that despite the suspect’s confession, authorities need more evidence to build a solid case. “We’re building our case a little more, having ballistics work done to connect him (to the crime) by means other than his confession. We want to make sure we have a pretty solid case before taking it to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. That could take several weeks.” Whereas hunting regulations in other parts of the county do little to prohibit hunting on unposted private property, laws governing national parkland are cut and dry. Hunting in a national park is strictly prohibited. Occasionally, however, it happens. Miller said the national park service handles a handful of poaching cases each year.

Greensboro motel has 3 homicides in 5 weeks GREENSBORO – Police are trying to figure out how to root out drugs and prostitution from a North Carolina motel that has been the scene of three homicides in the past five weeks. Greensboro Police Chief Tim Bellamy told the News & Record of Greensboro officers increased patrols and sting operations at the LandMark Inn near Interstate 40 in the spring. The extra patrols helped somewhat, but Bellamy says a lot of crime happens inside the rooms. The newspaper couldn’t get the owner of the extended-stay motel to comment, but police say it has a state-of-the art security system and workers help police any way they can. Bellamy says hiring off-duty security at the motel could help.

Judge: Man violated probation in bus stop case CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A man considered a person of interest in the North Carolina school bus stop shooting of his pregnant adoptive sister was sentenced by a judge to spend 2Â˝ years in prison for violating his probation on a drug charge. Multiple media outlets reported U.S. Chief District Judge Bob Conrad ruled Wednesday there was enough evidence to show 36-year-old Royce Mitchell committed statutory rape with the 15-yearold girl, even though crim-

inal charges were dropped because the babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DNA didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t match Mitchell. Some of the most significant evidence against Mitchell came from Tiffany Wright herself in a taped interview she gave police before she was gunned down waiting for the bus in Charlotte on Sept. 14. She was eight months pregnant, and the baby died too. In a quiet voice, the teen said Mitchell didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t force her to have sex with him. But she said he did pressure her to get an abortion.

Hearings on whether to revoke probation donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require as high a threshold of evidence as finding someone guilty in a criminal case, and the judge found the teenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words credible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I found her to be sincere,â&#x20AC;? Conrad said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I

Where are those who care about senior citizens? What’s wrong with America? I am disgusted up to the tips of my gray hair with all the shenanigans going on in this city and country. Senior citizens, which I am one, are having to move because High Point University wants the building we live in, Wesleyan Homes. They are expanding and seniors have to suffer. They are forcing people out with major health problems; wheelchair bound, on crutches, some with no families. If HPU wants to expand, across the street is a block of trees. Buy the lot and let them build what they need. You would think the mayor and City Council would speak out about this, but not a word. Where are all these people that care so much about senior citizens? Shame! The Social Service Department is a total disaster! People that really need help can’t get any because children are having children they can’t support and are too lazy to work. I can’t get Medicaid because I am a few pennies over their limit. It’s all about who you know these days. The whole department needs a complete overhaul. I am fed up with seeing these letters to the editor from the same people. These people want to blame the president for all the problems facing this country. Where were they when “Texas Pete Bush” was ruining the reputation of this country around the world, not only getting into two wars. Their racist hate mongering is not going to change anything. They are a disgrace to America with these so-called tea parties and these racist signs, not to mention carrying weapons. They are upset because an AfricanAmerican is president with class

The loss of our freedoms would occur subtly When I wrote my last letter I used a phrase, “the termite approach” referring to H.R. 45 (a piggy-back bill) meaning that the freedoms in danger would not be overtly lost but would be threatened very subtly. As I read Stephen R. Madison’s response in a Nov. 12 letter, I must have really struck a nerve, but when considering to run for Congress that was a reaction I thought to be a good thing.

Politics rules trial decision

y his own words, Khalid Sheik Mohammed is guilty. During a 2007 hearing in Guantanamo, in a written statement he said he was Osama bin Laden’s operational director for the 9/11 attacks and responsible for planning, organizing, follow-up and execution of them. He said killing people was “the language of any war,” and he compared himself to Gen. George Washington. In previous statements, Mohammed had portrayed himself as a combatant in a war against the West. Obviously, he sees the United States as his enemy in a militaristic fight in which any bloodshed, civilian or military, is justified. So why is Attorney General Eric Holder so fixated on trying Mohammed in a civilian court in Manhattan under civilian court procedures instead of in a military court where it properly should be held? The simple answer: politics. During the upcoming show, Holder and the Obama administration, in an attempt to embarrass former President Bush’s administration, will give Mohammed the platform to make statements about waterboarding or any other unorthodox or questionable interrogation techniques he wants to describe. And Holder is willing to allow this despite the real possibility of sensitive information that could benefit terrorists and other enemies of the United States being revealed during the trial. Perhaps, Holder should be the next person on trial.

Recent headlines reported that President Obama says our economy is improving and unemployment is slowing. However, Fox News reports that one out of six people are unemployed, making the unemployment rate 10.2 percent, and when those that can no longer file are added, the rate is 17.5 percent (502,000 per the Labor Board) – the largest since the Great Depression. Also, recently President Obama was considering a $500 savings bond for every child born – to be used for educational purposes. This may be a great political move but not wise in a time of stressed economic woes. He and his Democratic Congress have already spent more than all previous 43 presidents combined. Federal spending is seven times faster than the federal income. It is time to stop the money flow to the executive branch. The government continues to increase our

Recently, my wife and I had the privilege to attend a concert that was put on by the School of Entertainment Technology at the High Point campus of GTCC. The concert was billed as “Jeff Little and Friends.” Little, who is the head of this program at GTCC and is a gifted piano player, shared the stage with Winfield, Kan., banjo champion Steve Lewis and famous guitar maker and recipient of the National Heritage award, Wayne Henderson. Those who were not there missed a great opportunity to hear some remarkable music and witness some incredible musicianship. Carnegie Hall has not offered a better performance than the one I witnessed that night. This GTCC program will benefit this entire area of North Carolina by producing technically trained young people who will eventually work in the entertainment industry throughout the United States, and possibly the world. So if you don’t know about this program, find out about it and find ways to support it. As it grows it will be one of the most important job-producing initiatives in High Point. DAVID H.

No president is entitled to ‘positive’ response to actions

any years ago, at a certain academic institution, there was an experimental program that the faculty had to vote on as to whether or not it should be made permanent. I rose at the faculty meeting to say that I knew practically nothing about whether the program was good or bad, and that the information that had been supplied to us was too vague for us to have any basis for voting, one way or the other. My suggestion was that we get more concrete information before having a vote. The director of that program rose immediately and responded indignantly and sarcastically to what I had just said – and the faculty gave him a standing ovation. After the faculty meeting was over, I told a colleague that I was stunned and baffled by the faculty’s fierce response to my simply saying that we needed more information before voting. “Tom, you don’t understand,” he said. “Those people need to believe in that man. They have invested so much hope and trust in him that they cannot let you stir up any doubts.” Years later, and hundreds of miles away, I learned that my worst misgivings about that program did not begin to approach the reality, which included organized criminal activity. The memory of that long-ago episode has come back more than once while observing both the actions of the Obama administration and the fierce reactions of its supporters to any questioning or criticism. Almost never do these reactions include factual or logical arguments against the administration’s critics. Instead, there is indignation, accusations of bad faith and even charges of racism. Here too, it seems as if so many people have invested so much hope and trust in Barack Obama that it is intolerable that anyone should come along and stir up any doubts that could threaten their house of cards. Among the most pathetic letters and e-mails I receive are those from people who ask why I don’t write more “positively” about Obama or “give him the benefit of the doubt.” No one – not even the president of the United States – has an entitlement to a “positive” response to his actions. The entitlement mentality has eroded the once common belief that you earned things, including respect, instead of being given them. As for the benefit of the doubt, no one – es-

pecially not the president of the United States – is entitled to that, when his actions can jeopardize the rights of 300 million Americans domestically and the security of the nation in an international jungle, where nuclear weapons may soon be in the hands of OPINION people with suicidal fanaticism. Will it take a mushroom cloud Thomas over an American city to make Sowell that clear? Was 9/11 not enough? ■■■ When a president of the United States has begun the process of dismantling America from within, and exposing us to dangerous enemies outside, the time is long past for being concerned about his public image. Internationally, Obama has made every mistake that was made by the Western democracies in the 1930s, mistakes that put Hitler in a position to start World War II – and come dangerously close to winning it. At the heart of those mistakes was trying to mollify your enemies by throwing your friends to the wolves. The Obama administration has already done that by reneging on this country’s commitment to put a missile defense shield in Eastern Europe and by its lackadaisical footdragging on doing anything serious to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons. That means, for all practical purposes, throwing Israel to the wolves as well. Countries around the world that have to look out for their own national survival, above all, are not going to ignore how much Obama has downgraded the reliability of America’s commitments. Iraq, for example, knows that Iran is going to be next door forever while Americans may be gone in a few years. South Korea knows that North Korea is permanently next door, but who knows when the Obama administration will get a bright idea to pull out? Countries in South America know that Hugo Chavez is allying Venezuela with Iran. Dare they ally themselves with an unreliable U.S.A.? Or should they join our enemies to work against us? This issue is too serious for squeamish silence. THOMAS SOWELL, a native of North Carolina, is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305.

New spy charge filed against Iranian-American CAIRO – Iran brought new espionage charges against an Iranian-American scholar who was already convicted of spying and sentenced to 15 years in prison in the country’s crackdown following June’s disputed presidential election, a human rights group said Thursday. The new charges raise the possibility of a harsher penalty against Kian Tajbakhsh, a 47-year-old scholar who was in Iran working on a book when he was arrested at his home nearly five months ago amid security forces’ postelection sweep against the opposition.

Dubai request for debt ‘standstill’ raises fear DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Just a year after the global downturn derailed Dubai’s explosive growth, the city is now so swamped in debt that it’s asking for a six-month reprieve on paying its bills – causing a drop on world markets Thursday and raising questions about Dubai’s reputation as a magnet for international investment. The fallout came swiftly and was felt globally after Wednesday’s statement that Dubai’s main development engine, Dubai World, would ask creditors for a “standstill” on paying back its $60 billion debt until at least May.

Watchdog warns about TV in post-Soviet states VIENNA – Government-influenced television is hampering democracy in Russia, Belarus and most post-Soviet countries in Central Asia and the South Caucasus, and it could endanger international peace and security if misused as a propaganda tool, a watchdog warned Thursday. Miklos Haraszti, the outgoing media freedom representative at the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, said even TV stations that are not directly state-owned are often in the hands of people close to those in power.

IAEA chief: Iran investigation at ‘dead end’ VIENNA – The outgoing head of the International Atomic Energy Agency said his probe of Iran’s nuclear program is at “a dead end” and that trust in Tehran’s credibility is shrinking after its belated revelation that it was secretly building a nuclear facility. Mohamed ElBaradei’s blunt criticism of the Islamic Republic on Thursday – four days before he leaves office – was notable in representing a broad convergence with Washington’s opinion, which for years was critical of the IAEA chief for what it perceived as his softness on Iran.

TEHRAN, Iran – Iranian authorities have confiscated Nobel Peace laureate Shirin Ebadi’s medal, the human rights lawyer said Thursday, in a sign of the increasingly drastic steps Tehran is taking against any dissent. In Norway, where the peace prize is awarded, the government said the confiscation of the gold medal was a shocking first in the history of the 108-year-old prize. Ebadi won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003 for her efforts in promoting democracy. She has long faced harassment from Iranian authorities for her activities – including threats against her relatives.

German military head fired BERLIN (AP) – The German military’s top official was removed Thursday for failing to pass on information properly to political leaders about a September airstrike in Afghanistan that killed civilians. The new defense minister, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, told parliament that the military’s inspector general, Gen.

He was 53. The attack Monday left 57 dead in the Philippines’ worst election massacre. Reblando and the other journalists were accompanying relatives and supporters of a gubernatorial candidate in Maguindanao province when they were ambushed. Un

captures from confidential videos of the incident. Peter Wichert, a deputy defense minister who was in office at the time of the airstrike, also stepped down. Bild reported that the videos and a confidential military report suggested it was likely civilians were killed, and that they were in German hands at a time when then-Defense Minister Franz Josef Jung was insisting that there was no evidence of civilian victims. Guttenberg said, however, that Jung had not seen the material, and

that he himself had only been shown it on Wednesday. Jung became Germany’s labor minister last month. A German colonel called in the NATO airstrike against two tank-

er trucks that had been seized by Taliban insurgents near Kunduz, fearing they could be used to attack troops. Thirty civilians and 69 armed Taliban died in the strike.

RAMALLAH, West Bank – Palestinians appealed to the United States on Thursday to raise pressure on Israel, saying an Israeli plan to halt new construction in the West Bank was insincere. Yasser Abed Rabbo, a top presidential adviser, said he hopes U.S. envoy George Mitchell can bring about what he called “a real peace process” that would halt all settlement construction. Mitchell is expected in the region soon in his latest attempt to bring the sides back to the negotiating table. On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a 10-month halt to new construction in West Bank settlements as a step toward restarting Mideast peace negotiations.

Four bodies found in home near Chicago ADDISON, Ill. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Police say they have found four bodies in a home near Chicago. Bullet shell casings were found near the bodies Wednesday, but authorities in suburban Addison would not give the cause of death. Addison Police Chief Tim Hayden said the victims are likely members of the family that lived at the residence. Police spokeswoman Megan Freeman says a preliminary investigation indicates the deaths were not the result of a random act of violence.

Man gets three years for stealing fire truck RAPID CITY, S.D. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Nebraska man who told a judge he fled with his wife and children into the South Dakota wilderness to avoid Nebraska authorities has been sentenced to three years in prison for stealing a fire truck. Matthew Schade and his wife, Rowena, vanished with their children last spring after being questioned about domestic abuse allegations. They turned themselves in 18 days later. Authorities say the family broke into two cabins and took the a fire truck while they were in South Dakotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Black Hills.

The prison was on lockdown for several hours.

Americans give thanks, watch parades NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Giant balloons, floats, marching bands and clowns with confetti brought smiles to hundreds of thousands of revelers eager to catch a glimpse of a parade as steeped in Thanksgiving Day tradition as turkey and pumpkin pie. Crowds six to seven people deep lined the streets of Manhattan on Thursday for the 83rd annual Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thanksgiving Day Parade as merrymakers gathered nationwide for massive parades in cities such as Detroit and Philadelphia. Soldiers in war zones received phone calls of appreciation from President Barack Obama, while astronauts hovering above the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface feasted on turkey smuggled aboard the space shuttle Atlantis.

DOWNEY, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This blue-collar suburb on the edge of Los Angeles once helped send men to space.

Edna’s kids Donations needed for Christmas program that helps needy ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

JAMESTOWN – This could be a difficult year for Edna’s kids. Ednalyn Hurley, who has enlisted help for Christmas presents for children in single-parent homes for 15 years, has seen the impact of the economic downturn. “Due to the economic

environment, I’m saddened to say that this year, there is a dire need more so than ever,” she said. Hurley, a counselor at Guilford Technical Community College in Jamestown, said sponsors are needed for 30 more children before the Dec. 4 deadline to arrange for Christmas for needy fam-

ilies at the college. Children receiving Christmas gifts range from infants to teenagers, she said. The project is organized through the GTCC Single Parent Support Group at GTCC’s campuses in High Point and Greensboro. Sponsors who can make tax deductible monetary gifts or donate items are needed. “Clothing and other necessities, as well as toys and fun items, are needed for the children,” she said. “We need some big

Habitat helps Katrina family

Christine Cugliari, assistant professor of nonprofit management at High Point University, recently presented a paper titled “Intention Language: Defining Philanthropy and Charity” at the Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action 38th Annual Conference in Cleveland. The conference brings together researchers, scholars and practitioners to discuss issues in nonprofit studies, voluntary action and philanthropy in an effort to build knowledge and inform those working in the nonprofit sector.

HIGH POINT — Habitat for Humanity recently celebrated the completion of its latest home in the city. The nonprofit recently held a ceremony that was open to the community and tours were made available at the home, located at 1709 Graves Ave., near Washington Terrace Park. The home, the fifth that Habitat has built in the neighborhood, is occupied by the James family. Wanda and Lionel James moved to High Point after losing everything they own in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Her brother brought them to High Point after the family had lived in a field without proper water or electricity. The James family has made High Point their new hometown over the past four years and now have a house of their own. Habitat has worked closely with the High Point Housing and Community Development Department in building affordable homes in the Washington Drive area. Funds for the home were donated by a family advised fund through the High Point Community Foundation.

It’s homework time for holiday toy season BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY — It’s time for parents to do their toy-shopping homework. With more than 65 percent of the toys bought in the United States between the Friday after Thanksgiving and Christmas, parents and caregivers need to study the market, according to experts. “Shoppers need to do their homework before heading to the toy store,” said Leigha Shepler, Safe Kids Guilford County coordinator. “Even though most toys in the U.S. today are considered to be safe, it doesn’t mean we should throw caution to the wind.” In recent years, lead

paint and toy defects have worried parents. Parents and caregivers shouldn’t hesitate to report defects or design features that seem dangerous. Each year, about 217,000 toy-related injuries are treated in hospital emergency rooms nationwide. But on average, only 15 children under the age of 14 die from a toy-related injury. “If your child has a close call, the next child might not be so lucky,” Shepler said. “Report safety concerns about toys to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Your experience could be part of a pattern that might lead to a recall.” To stay informed, Shepler recommends parents sign up for e-mails

that will keep them upto-date on recalls. “It’s too difficult to get your information piecemeal from TV or the newspaper,” Shepler said, “so if you get the e-mails sent to you each time a recall happens, you’ll be up-to-the-minute and won’t have to worry. Make sure store owners are aware and vigilant about getting recalled items off the shelves. And avoid used toys, which could have been recalled and not removed from circulation.” Safe Kids Guilford County works to prevent accidental childhood injury, the leading killer of children 14 and under. Safe Kids Guilford County was founded in 2001 and is led by the Trauma Department

Safe toy selection tips • Age-appropriate toys: Do not buy toys with small parts or allow a child under age 3 to play with smallparts toys belonging to an older sibling. Use a small parts tester, available from the Safe Kids Resource Catalog, or use an empty toilet paper roll. • Inspect toys: Do not let young children play with toys that have straps, cords or strings longer than 7 inches that could choke them. Register new toys with the manufacturer to get on the recall list. Go to www. cpsc.gov and click on “Sign up for E-mail Announcements.” • Supervise children: Caregivers should actively supervise children playing with any toy that has small parts, moving parts, electrical or battery power, cords, wheels or any other potentially risky component. Keep the child in sight and in reach. Call 800-638-2772 or go to www.cpsc.gov to report defects.

Noted author captivates Literary League Y

ou may think that when I am about to meet personalities such as a queen (Queen Noor), an astronaut (Buzz Aldrin), a comedian (Bill Cosby) or financial icon (Steve Forbes) or a Supreme Court Justice (Clarence Thomas) that I become petrified, traumatized or even terrified at meeting someone of such renown. Well, you would be absolutely correct! I ABOUT experience TOWN those same fears when Mary I am about Bogest to meet ■■■ renown authors especially when their books have consistently been on the NY Times Bestseller Lists. That is exactly how I felt at the prospect of chatting one on one with Anita Shreve, who was thrust into the limelight ten years ago when her book “The Pilot’s Wife” was a selection of Oprah’s Book Club. The Literary League of High Point continues to host notable authors to speak to their members and guests. Before the luncheon that is held at High Point Country Club, the press has a chance to chat with Shreve. “What will I say,” I always ask myself as my panic of the ensuing conversation grows. I realize that through book tours she has probably been asked every question in the “book” (a double entendre) and is probably perhaps even bored by them. The time arrives to meet the author. She smiles. She greets me warmly. She seems very nice. We go to the lounge to talk along with High Point University student Carmen Hedrick the recipient of the Literary Leagues annual scholarship. Being somewhat cunning (and creative, I thought) I asked the student what she would like to ask Shreve. Hedrick asked about Shreve’s writing process. Shreve talked about creative writing, explaining that it is a very lonely endeavor and done in solitude. At first she missed the camaraderie of her years as a journalist. She also told us that the most difficult part of being an author is going on tour, “I’m happiest with me, my paper and my notebook. Writing is so satisfying because you create your own universe. My challenge is to tell a different story in each book (she has written 15). Sometimes I think that writing is just problem solving.... one after another,” she explained before we went to the ballroom for lunch. Not only was Shreve cordial, warm and beautiful, she was also a wonderful speaker. She told a bit about her own experience of climbing Mt. Kenya as it was a catalyst for her current book, “A Change of Altitude.” She was in her twenties when she was living in Kenya and probably could claim a Guinness record of being the only person to climb Mt Kenya in athletic (tennis) shoes. She was notably the slowest in

her climbing party of six causing the others a bit of consternation. But guess who made it to the top and who didn’t. You are right. Shreve made it to the top of Mt. Kenya and it was so cloudy that she couldn’t see a thing. That was over thirty years ago and she hasn’t climbed a mountain since and never will again! She also told the entertaining story of the day that she learned that her book, “The Pilot’s Wife” was an Oprah Book Club selection. For some reason on that day she decided to go to New Hampshire to buy a dress (to this day she doesn’t remember why). When she returned to her New England home her husband told her that a man had been calling all day (10 times) and would not leave a message but only a number to call. “I called back. I still had my coat on. The guy answered and said, ‘my boss wants to talk to you.’ It was Oprah.” You know the rest as it quickly became an international best seller. Book alert! Book alert! The date is January 26, 2010. The book is “High Points and Lows: Life, Faith and Figuring It All Out” The author is High Point’s own Austin Carty, former “Survivor” contestant and Christian speaker. This is really big since the book is being published by Penguin Plume publishers. I can’t wait to read the book which he describes as his own “stumbling journey toward adulthood and true faith, drawing on lessons from pop culture and Christianity.” Carty told me (We work out at the same gym.) that he plans to kick off his book tour in High Point. As proud as he is of his new book, he is also proud to be graduating (summa cum laude) this December from High Point University with his degree in English Literature. Don’t you love the fact that he got the name “High Point” into his title even if it is serendipitously. I hope to get an early copy (he promised) of the book so I can keep you posted. This one may be destined for the New York Times Bestsellers List. High Point University also recently hosted the State of Education Luncheon sponsored by the High Point Chamber of Commerce featuring Mo Green, superintendent of Guilford County Schools, Dr. Don Cameron, president of Guilford Technical Community College and Dr. Nido Qubein, president of High Point

With these noted educators in one room I was hoping to get an intelligence boost even if by osmosis. Charles Cain, father of a HPU coed and chairman of the HP Chamber board of directors welcomed the attendees which included his very lovely daughter. As expected each speaker was optimistic but there are still hills to climb. Chamber President & CEO Tom Dayvault said of Green, “I have to commend the Guilford County School Board in getting someone (Green) who is not afraid to listen.” Personally I have had the opportunity to meet Green and to hear him speak and I can’t agree more. His dedication and commitment to achieve excellence for the 71,000 students from 142 countries who speak 150 languages is second to none. He used the quote of Martin Luther King, “intelligence plus char-

acter is the goal of real education” to describe his vision for those students. Cameron, who has been president of GTCC since 1991 told of the new Logistics School thanks to David Congdon (Old Dominion Freight Lines) and lastly Qubein spoke of HPU students involvement in our community and unveiled the now well-known expansion plans for HPU. It was obvious that each of the three speakers had a respect for each other. I know that Qubein and Cameron have been good friends for years and now Green adds into that mix. All have one thing in common.......excellence in both education and character. I guess Martin Luther King said it well.

White, who ownes a heating and air company in Thomasville, had to sell his own beloved Harley years ago when business was suffering hard times. For the past two years, he and his youngest daughter, Kinsley, have attended every Wake Forest football and basketball game. White bought a $50 raffle ticket earlier in the football season for a chance to win this 2009 Harley Davidson Road Glide. The drawing was held at the last football game of the season on Nov. 14, and White was announced as the winner. He was able to ride his new motorcycle home that day.

Dear Abby: My husband and I both work two jobs, and we have raised three wonderful children. Over the years we have watched our friends build bigger and bigger homes, drive fancy cars and take extended trips to exotic locations while my husband and I work paycheck to paycheck. What bothers me is that many of my girlfriends were â&#x20AC;&#x153;gold diggersâ&#x20AC;? who stole wealthy men from other women, and some of the men seem to make

money by doing illegal things. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all living high on the hog while I dodge bill collectors. I thought I was making good decisions and being morally responsible, but apparently the â&#x20AC;&#x153;nice guy/ nice gal comes in last.â&#x20AC;? When do these people get whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming to them, and when do I get a break? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nice Gal in Ohio Dear Nice Gal: How about starting right now? Start by shedding those people from your life whom you find morally reprehensible and look for some whose values more closely resemble your own. And instead of obsessing about others â&#x20AC;&#x153;getting whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming to them,â&#x20AC;? concentrate on improving your own life. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dodging bill collectors, find a credit counseling agency to help you deal with them. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen overnight, but things will improve as you get your financial

life in order.

They even call him â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daddy.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m grateful I have someone who takes such good care of my kids. I can see myself spending the rest of my life with him. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one problem. Casey has a hard time keeping a job. He has had more than a dozen jobs during the last three years. The only income we have is mine, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not very much. We struggle quite a bit, and we fight about money. Things would be better if Casey would get a job and keep it, but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get him to understand that. Sometimes I feel like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s using me. I want to stay with Casey, but now and then I also think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be better off if I left him. What can I do to make him understand that he needs to keep a job?

THE WORLD OFH CTORN M Corn is the seed, or grain, of a cereal plant that is consumed around the world by both people and animals. In almost all other regions of the world, this grain is called maize. Maize was brought to Europe from the New World, what is now America, by explorers. It is a native food of the Native Americans, and for this reason some types of corn are often called Indian corn. In South America, corn is called mealies. Corn is one of the main staples for the Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population; only wheat and then rice have more farmlands devoted to their cultivation. In the U.S., most corn crops are grown in the Corn Belt; this is the region of plains which stretches across the middle of the country from western Ohio to eastern Nebraska. The soft, sweet corn consumed by humans is generally harvested early in the year, such as in June and July, although these times also vary greatly depending on the region where the crops are located. The majority of corn grown is harvested in October and November. This is corn that has had time to dry in the stock and is used to make feed for livestock and to create other products. Almost all of the plant is used, not just the corn itself. The stalks can be used to make paper; the husks are often used as a ďŹ lling material; and a popular new type of fuel is created from the cob. These are just a few of the many things that can be made from corn. Corn can even be used as a decoration, since there are more than just yellow corns. Black, red, pink, and even blue kernels can be cultivated.

Gout is now an illness of the common man

ear Dr. Donohue: Please write something about gout. I’m new to it. I had my first attack a month ago, and it was the worse pain I ever had. It’s in my big toe. I got treatment that helped immensely, but I live in fear that it will come back. Will it? Should I be on a special diet? I’m not. – G.R.

BLONDIE

Gout was once considered an illness of aristocrats, who ate sumptuously and drank excessively. Now it’s an equal-opportunity illness, with one exception: For every woman with gout, five men have it. A prolonged elevation of blood uric acid allows the uric acid to infiltrate joints as needle-thin crystals. That’s the cause of an attack. Uric acid is a byproduct of daily cell turnover. Our kidneys get rid of it for us. People with gout have either a decreased uric acid excretion or an increased production. A gout attack is torture in the extreme. The base of the toe is the joint most often affected in a first attack, but other joints are vulnerable – the heel, foot instep, ankle, knee, elbow, fingers and wrists. An attack builds to a peak of pain in 12 to 24 hours and can last for a week or more without treatment. Treatment of an acute attack includes drugs like indomethacin, ibuprofen, naproxen or colchicine, and the pain responds usually quite rapidly. Without treatment,

after an attack, most will experience a second one within two years. All patients HEALTH need a medicine Dr. Paul to lower Donohue their uric ■■■ acid, and that can be done with medicines that stop its production (Zyloprim and the first new gout medicine in 40 years, Uloric) or increase its elimination (Benemid). A low blood uric acid lessens the chances for a repeat attack. Diet is not as important as it once was. Alcohol has to be limited or eliminated. Beer is the alcoholic drink most likely to lead to an attack. Gout patients have to give up organ meats (liver, kidney, heart and sweetbreads), caviar, sardines, herring, mackerel and cod, and they have to go easy with gravies. These are high-purine foods, foods that increase uric acid. The gout pamphlet provides more information on this common illness. People can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue – No. 302, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. Dear Dr. Donohue: Can anyone drink white or green tea? Is there any

medication that may react with it? I mean, does it stop certain medicines from working? – H.E. Anyone who wants to can drink white or green tea. All teas – black, green and white – come from the same plant. Different ways of processing the tea leaves produce the black, green and white varieties. Green tea undergoes less processing. Tea leaves are steamed, rolled and then dried. For black tea, the tea leaves undergo similar processes, but they also are exposed to oxygen. The oxygen turns the leaves dark and imparts a stronger flavor. White tea is obtained by picking young tea leaves and white tea leaf buds. These leaves are only steamed and dried. All teas share similar components, but the processing does change some of their constituents. A question arises about teas’ (all varieties, but more so with black) interference with iron absorption. If there is an effect, it is so small that it doesn’t raise a concern. Green tea has been said to decrease body folate, one of the B vitamins. Again, the effect is not a health concern.

DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Polanski granted $4.5M bail; house arrest likely

NEW YORK (AP) – Adam Lambert admits he got carried away with his sexually charged American Music Awards performance, but he’s offering no apology. The glam rocker from “American Idol” said on “The Early Show”thathis performance would not Lambert have caused as much controversy if he weren’t openly gay. He also said there were other “adult” moments on the show that caused no outrage. “I admit I did get carried away, but I don’t see anything wrong with it,” he said Wednesday. “I do see how people got offended, and that was not my intention. My intention was to interpret the lyrics of my song and have a good time with it.” Lambert kissed a male keyboard player, dragged a female dancer around by the ankles and had a dancer simulate oral sex on him while performing “For Your Entertainment,” a song with a sexual edge. ABC received many complaints about the performance, and that network’s morning show, “Good Morning America,” canceled Lambert’s scheduled appearance on Wednesday.

Ragsdale, Dudley meet again BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

Inside...

GREENSBORO – Ragsdale coach Tommy Norwood believes the past won’t mean as much as the present when his squad meets Dudley tonight in the third round of the NCHSAA 4A West playoffs at J.A. Tarpley Stadium. It is the second straight year the teams have met under such circumstances. Dudley prevailed 26-10 in the 2008 showdown, handing Ragsdale its only loss as part of an unbeaten run to the state 3AA championship. In the second game of this season, Ragsdale got a measure of revenge with an 18-8 win that is the only loss the Panthers (12-1) have suffered since the start of the 2008 season.

----

Thomasville, Lexington set for another football showdown. 3C Norwood, whose squad comes into the game unbeaten once again (13-0) as it tries to move past the third round for the first time in recent years, doesn’t think the memories of those games will give either team an edge. “I don’t think anybody has any advantage in motivation,” Norwood explained. “It’s the third round of the playoffs. You win and move on. Who has beat who, all of that is the past. The second game of the regular season seems like 10 years ago and when we

lost to them last year feels like it’s even further (in the past). I don’t think anyone has an advantage, it’s been so long.” It’s been so long that Norwood likes the improvement in the Tigers’ passing game that has helped quarterback Luke Heavner throw for 1,844 yards and 22 touchdowns. Heavner has most often thrown to DeSean Anderson, who has 59 catches and 13 touchdowns. When the Tigers haven’t thrown, D-onovan Smith puts up the biggest numbers rushing, gaining 1,361 yards and notching 12 TDs. “We don’t have a lot of superstars,” Norwood said. “We’ve just have a team that lines up every Friday night and plays to the best of their ability. As far as

offensively, we improved throwing. Luke Heavner has had a good season. Our receivers have gotten better. Defensively, our secondary has improved. The key is how much we play as a team.” What the Tigers can’t do, Norwood said, is let the Panthers control the ball as they did in last year’s playoff meeting when they went on a 19-play scoring drive that consumed 9:46 at the start of the third quarter. “They are a power team,” Norwood said. “Last year in the playoffs, they got the ball at the start of the second half and went on a nine-minute drive. We can’t let them go four yards, five yards at a time and just keep the ball.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Cowboys clobber Raiders ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) – Miles Austin couldn’t stop smiling, soaking up the cheers as he stared at himself on the giant video screens over the field. Then Tony Romo really soaked him, splashing a cup of water in his face. All part of the fun for the Dallas Cowboys in their Thanksgiving rout of the Oakland Raiders. Romo snapped the Cowboys from their offensive slumber by leading them to a season-high 494 yards, with Austin delivering 145 yards and a touchdown, sending the Cowboys to a 24-7 victory over the Raiders on Thursday. By winning for the sixth time in seven games, Dallas (8-3) is guaranteed of going into the final month of the season atop the NFC East. Now comes the real challenge: Staying there. The Cowboys are 5-10 in games after Thanksgiving since Romo became the starting QB in 2006. Oakland (3-8) and its new starting quarterback, Bruce Gradkowski, were coming off a victory over divisionleading Cincinnati just a few days before, but couldn’t even cross midfield in the first half. The Raiders’ lone highlight was top draft pick Darrius Heyward-Bey making the first touchdown catch of his career. Dallas’ defense continued its strong play, with linebacker Anthony Spencer coming up with his first two sacks of the season. Romo went 18 of 29 for 309 yards with two touchdown passes and no turnovers. Jason Witten caught five passes for 107 yards.

Green Bay wide receiver Donald Driver (80), defended by Detroit safety Marvin White, catches a 68-yard pass during the first quarter of Thursday’s game at Ford Field in Detroit. Driver caught seven passes for 142 yards and a touchdown as the Packers rolled to a 34-12 victory.

Packers stuff Lions DETROIT (AP) – The Detroit Lions used to take a lot of pride in playing on Thanksgiving. Lately, the Lions have been getting embarrassed when the nation tunes in to watch them. Aaron Rodgers matched a career high with three touchdown passes and Charles Woodson grabbed two of his team’s four interceptions, giving the Green Bay Packers a 34-12 win over Detroit. The Lions have lost six straight games on the holiday, setting a franchise record, by an average of 23.2 points and eight of nine in the showcase game. The latest loss was an emotional setback for Detroit (2-

9) four days after Matthew Stafford’s gutsy play capped its biggest comeback win since 1957. “It’s a different feeling in this locker room – especially on national television to come out like that,” Detroit center Dominic Raiola said. Before its recent slide, Detroit won four straight and nine of 12 on Thanksgiving before ex-general manager Matt Millen arrived in 2001 and made a lackluster franchise awful. Green Bay (7-4) has won three straight since losing to Tampa Bay to improve its postseason prospects. “We can’t talk about the playoffs yet,” Packers receiver Donald Driver said.

Stafford, playing with a sore nonthrowing shoulder, threw one touchdown pass and four interceptions. He threw five TD passes in Sunday’s win over Cleveland after trailing by 21. “When you’ve got to throw the ball every down to try to get back into it when you’re behind, guys are going to be all over it,” Stafford said. Kevin Smith’s longest run was 6 yards and he finished with 43 on 18 carries for the Lions. The Packers scored 27 unanswered points in the second and third quarters to turn the game into a familiar rout. The Packers have won nine straight against the Lions overall, and coach Mike McCarthy is 8-0 against them.

TOP SCORES

s the NFL season approaches the home stretch, three superstar quarterbacks are locked in a classic race for league MVP honors. Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and Brett Favre direct the offenses of the teams with the three best records in football. Manning’s Colts and Brees’ Saints stand 10-0, while Favre’s Vikings are 9-1. It’s only fitting they are the top contenders for the league’s most prestigious regular-season individual honor. The statistics paint a vivid picture of

just how competitive this race really is. Favre has completed 216 of 310 passes for 2,482 yards with 21 touchdowns and just three interceptions. His quarterback rating is 112.1 and his completion percentage is 69.7. Manning, meanwhile, has connected on 271 of 388 tosses for 3,171 yards with 21 TDs and nine picks. He owns a 102.7 rating with a 69.8 percent completion mark. As for Brees, he’s hit on 218 of 320 passes for 2,746 yards with 22 TDs and nine interceptions. His QB rating is 105.8 with a 68.1 completion percentage.

The numbers tell the story. This race truly is too close to call. Favre and Manning each own three MVP awards. Brees, the 2008 NFL offensive player of the year, has yet to garner an MVP. I’ll be stunned if one of these men doesn’t walk away with MVP honors. It should be a treat to watch them work their magic over the final six weeks of the season.

Alabama, Auburn meet in Iron Bowl NO. 2 ALABAMA AT AUBURN

---

Who: No. 2 Alabama (11-0, 7-0 SEC) at Auburn (7-4, 3-4) When: 2:30 p.m. today (CBS) Line: Alabama by 101⁄2. Series record: Alabama leads 39-33-1. Last meeting: 2008, Alabama 36-0. What’s at stake: Besides bragging rights, Alabama controls its own destiny in terms of a national championship shot. Beat Auburn and Florida, and the Crimson Tide is Pasadena-bound. Auburn could secure a better bowl destination with a win, and give a huge highlight to first-year coach Gene Chizik. Key matchup: Auburn’s offensive line, including center Ryan Pugh, against Alabama nose guard Terrence Cody. The Bronco Nagurski, Lombardi and Chuck Bednarik finalist has been clogging the middle all season for the nation’s No. 2 run defense. The running game is where it all starts for Auburn’s high-tempo offense. Ben Tate has been held to 134 yards on 38 rushes, a 3.5-yard average, in the Tigers’ last two losses. Players to watch: Alabama: RB Mark Ingram. The Heisman Trophy candidate has been punishing defenses all season, breaking tackles and big runs against weary defenders in the fourth quarter. Auburn’s defense, hampered by injuries, has been missing tackles and giving up big runs in the fourth. Auburn: RB Ben Tate. Tate is the SEC’s No. 3 rusher, with 1,209 yards and eight touchdowns in the senior’s breakout season. He has said he believes he’s the state’s best running back. This would be a pretty good showcase to try to back that up. DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

Ragsdale’s D-onovan Smith (12) tries to fend off Dudley’s Kelton Shepherd during last season’s 3AA third-round playoff game in Greensboro. The Panthers downed Smith and his Tiger teammates 26-10 in that game en route to winning their second straight state championships. The teams meet again tonight at Dudley in the third round of the 4A West playoffs.

Tigers, Bulldogs face familiar foes handler in the Wildcat. Mycah Gaylord also figures in the backfield mix for the Panthers, who have won 34 of their last 35 games.

NO. 3 RAGSDALE AT NO. 2 DUDLEY

---

Records: Ragsdale 13-0; Dudley 12-1 Last week: Third-seeded Ragsdale defeated sixthseeded Sun Valley 33-24 in the second round of the 4A West playoffs; second-seeded Dudley eliminated 10thseeded High Point Central 21-6 Next week: Winner vs. No. 4 A.C. Reynolds-No. 8 Mount Tabor winner This week: These teams have been a collision course for a much-anticipated rematch since the Tigers edged the Panthers 18-8 in Jamestown on August 28. That marked the only blemish on Dudley’s record and sparked Ragsdale’s run to a perfect regular season. Ragsdale stopped Dudley inside the 5 on two different drives to seal the victory. These schools also met in the third round of last year’s playoffs. The Panthers downed the Tigers 26-10 in the 3AA East playoffs en route to their second straight state championship. For Dudley to win a third straight state crown, it’ll have to slow a Ragsdale offense averaging 33.6 points per game. The Tigers have scored at least 30 points in 10 games this season. Defensively, the Tigers surrender just 6.8 ppg and own five shutouts, including a 31-0 blanking of Watauga in round one. Ragsdale quarterback Luke Heavner directs a balanced attack. He has thrown for five touchdowns and rushed for another in the first two playoff games. Running back D-onovan Smith powers the ground game. Dudley’s offense relies almost exclusively on the run. The Panther operate from a variety of formations, including the Wildcat. J.R. Peterson has rushed for more than 250 yards and five touchdowns in two playoff games, while sophomore Demetrius McCorkle added 114 yards on 24 carries against the Bison as the primary

NO. 9 LEXINGTON AT NO. 4 THOMASVILLE

---

Records: Thomasville 9-4; Lexington 7-6 Last week: Fourth-seeded Thomasville needed overtime to defeat fifth-seeded Polk County 13-10 in the second round of the 2A West playoffs; ninth-seeded Lexington shocked top-seeded Starmount 22-21 Next week: Winner vs. No. 2 Mountain Heritage-No. 6. Lincolnton winner This week: Thomasville’s quest for a second straight state title encounters a familiar foe. The Bulldogs and Yellow Jackets have met at least once in every season since 1967. The series dates to 1929 and has been dominated by Thomasville for more than a decade. The Bulldogs’ 23-13 road victory on Nov. 6 gave them a 16-game winning streak in the series. That win also clinched the Central Carolina 2A Conference title for the Bulldogs. To make it 17 straight, Thomasville must slow a highpowered Yellow Jacket attack that has stung a pair of favored opponents in the playoffs. The Jackets surprised eighth-seeded Trinity 40-22 behind three touchdown runs by quarterback Codie Boger, then shocked the Rams for a one-point victory in Boonville. Thomasville started 1-4, facing a brutal nonconference slate. But the Bulldogs have won eight straight. Thomasville averages 23.9 ppg, while limiting foes to just 9.7 ppg. Over the last eight contests, however, the defense owns four shutouts and has given up only 30 points (3.75 ppg).

McIlroy eagled the par-5 15th hole. “We got off to a great start and we birdied the holes that we knew we had to on the front nine,” McIlroy said. “We had a chance of two birdies most holes and most of the time we took one of them.” England’s Ian Poulter and Ross Fisher finished eight strokes back with a 6-under 66.

NO. 5 CINCINNATI AT ILLINOIS

---

Who: Illinois (3-7) vs. No. 5 Cincinnati (10-0) When: noon today (ABC) Line: Cincinnati by 171⁄2. Series record: First meeting. What’s at stake: The Bearcats are fifth in the BCS standings and need a win to keep themselves in the discussion of national title candidates. They’re also looking for QB Tony Pike to get back into the flow after missing most of the last month with an injury to his non-throwing arm. Illinois has won two of its last three. Key matchup: Cincinnati’s offensive line against the Illini pass rush. Pike had a damaged plate in his left arm replaced five weeks ago. He’s expected to start for the first time since the injury, wearing a protective cast. The Bearcats don’t want him to get hit very much. On Nov. 7, the Illini had seven sacks – four by DE Clay Nurse – in a 35-32 win at Minnesota.

NEVADA AT NO. 6 BOISE STATE

---

Who: Nevada (8-3, 7-0, WAC) at No. 6 Boise State (11-0, 6-0) When: 10:08 p.m. today (ESPN2) Line: Boise State by 131⁄2. Series record: Boise State leads 23-12. Last meeting: 2008, Boise State 41-34. What’s at stake: The WAC championship, Boise State’s perfect season and the Broncos’ BCS bowl hopes – though fellow outsider TCU has the inside track to crashing that party. It’s Boise’s biggest test on its cozy blue home turf. The “pistol” offense of the Wolf Pack leads the nation in rushing (373 ypg), and is averaging 52 points while winning eight straight.

NO. 8 PITTSBURGH AT WEST VIRGINIA

---

Who: No. 8 Pittsburgh (9-1, 5-0 Big East) at West Virginia (7-3, 3-2) When: 7 p.m. (ESPN2) Line: Pittsburgh by 2. Series record: Pittsburgh leads 61-37-3. Last meeting: 2008, Pittsburgh 19-15. What’s at stake: It’s the 102nd Backyard Brawl between the schools separated by 75 miles of interstate highway. Pittsburgh needs to beat No. 5 Cincinnati at home on Dec. 5 to earn the Big East’s automatic BCS berth. West Virginia still has faint hopes of its fourth 10-win season in the last five years but must win out, including a bowl game.

Blue Jays sign Gonzalez TORONTO (AP) – Free agent shortstop Alex Gonzalez, whose midseason arrival in Boston helped the Red Sox secure a playoff spot, has signed a oneyear, $2.75 million deal with the Toronto Blue Jays, with a $2.5 million team option for 2011. The agreement came a day after backup shortstop John McDonald agreed to a $3-million, two-year deal. Gonzalez began the 2009 season with the Reds and was traded to Boston on Aug. 14, where he hit .284 in 68 games.

Tigers burn Panthers for 75-54 victory SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

AUBURN, Ala. – Nick Barbour led the High Point University men’s basketball team in scoring for the fourth time this season with 14 points and Corey Law added nine points and seven rebounds in the Panthers’ 75-54 loss to Auburn late Wednesday night. “We got away from doing what we do,” said HPU head coach Scott Cherry.

“Auburn started scoring and making some plays on the other end and our guys stopped playing the way we play ... We’ve got to stop focusing on the offensive end and start focusing on defense and making some stops.” HPU dropped to 2-2. Auburn improved to 3-3. On the first possession of the game, HPU point guard Tehran Cox fed Law on an alley-oop dunk. The teams traded the

lead several times early in the game and Barbour’s second three-pointer made it 13-12 Panthers just over eight minutes into the game. HPU’s shooting went cold shortly after, and the Panthers nearly doubled the Tigers on fouls, which led to a 28-5 run by Auburn to close the half with the score 40-18. Lucas Hargrove led the Tigers’ run with 10 points and nine rebounds. Eugene Harris had nine points for

HPU, including a pair of three-pointers, and Jairus Simms led the Panthers with three assists. Hargrove led Auburn with 17 points and 12 rebounds and four other players scored in double figures for the Tigers. “One game doesn’t make a season,” Cherry said. “We’ll be ready and focused for a good S.C. State team on Monday.” HPU returns home to face S.C. State at the Millis Center on Monday at 7 p.m.

Iverson plans to retire PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Allen Iverson is set to retire from the NBA, according to an online report. Commentator Stephen A. Smith published a statement on his Web site late Wednesday night attributed to Iverson. It said Iverson plans to retire but also that “I feel strongly that I can still compete at the highest level.” The statement also said Iverson has tremendous love for the game and the desire to play. “His legacy would be huge,” Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star LeBron James said. “He’s one of the best when you talk about guys 6-foot and under in the game of basketball. He played injured and he played hard every single night. I don’t think it should end this way, but if it does, he’s left a lot of great things behind.” The 10-time All-Star played three games this season with Memphis before taking a leave of absence to attend to personal matters. He was waived after the two sides agreed to part ways. It was the second straight ugly ending for Iverson, who was unhappy last season playing for the Pistons. He was

upset that Detroit coach Michael Curry and Memphis’ Lionel Hollins used the former MVP as a reserve. The New York Knicks considered signing Iverson last week after he cleared waivers, before deciding he would take too much playing time away from younger players they are trying to develop. The Knicks seemed to be the only team who would consider bringing in Iverson, so there was no guarantee he’d play in the NBA this season, anyway. Still, the announcement came as a surprise to George Karl, who coached Iverson in Denver. “I was happy to have him for a couple years and hopefully our paths will cross. But I have a sneaky feeling that somewhere along the way an injury or a circumstance with a team will open that window back up.” One of the NBA’s great scorers, Iverson entered this season with a career average of 27.1 points that ranked fifth all time. Yet there was almost no interest in him this summer before he went to the Grizzlies on a one-year deal.

Bobcats beat Raptors in team’s biggest rout CHARLOTTE (AP) – Gerald Wallace broke out of his shooting slump with 31 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, helping the Charlotte Bobcats to the most lopsided victory in team history, 116-81 over the Toronto Raptors late Wednesday night. Stephen Jackson added 23 points for Charlotte, which held the listless Rap-

Duke’s Jon Scheyer (right) drives to the basket as Arizona State’s Derek Glasser defends during Wednesday night’s NIT Season Tip-Off semifinal at Madison Square Garden. Scheyer finished with 16 points and six assists as the Blue Devils won 64-53 to reach today’s 5 p.m. title game against Connecticut.

Duke, UConn set for Big Apple showdown NEW YORK (AP) – Duke just didn’t look itself in a building where the Blue Devils have been so impressive so often. The seventh-ranked Blue Devils were tied with Arizona State with 13 minutes left in the second semifinal of the NIT Season Tip-Off late Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. But then Kyle Singler, who uncharacteristically missed eight of his first nine shots, made his second straight to give Duke the lead for good and the Blue Devils turned up the defensive intensity in a 19-3 run that led to a 64-53 victory over the Sun Devils. “I could have played more aggressively and that’s what I do,” said Singler, who finished 5 of 16 from the field and had 13 points. “Being aggressive is what I do and that gets easy baskets.” Jon Scheyer had 16 points and six assists, and he was the one who found Singler for the two field goals that tied the game and put the Blue Devils ahead for good. “I don’t think looking for him any more than usual and I’m always looking for him when he’s open,” Scheyer said. “Crunch time is always Kyle’s time and those were two big shots for us.” The Blue Devils will face No. 13 Con-

necticut in the championship game today. The Huskies beat LSU 81-55 in the other semifinal. “A championship here would mean a lot because this is like a Final Four or a Sweet 16 because you play two games in three days against two good teams,” Scheyer said. “We’ll be ready and so will they.” Nolan Smith had 14 points for Duke (50), which led by only four at halftime. The Sun Devils (4-1), who managed to stay close behind their patient offense and pesky zone defense, tied it at 43 on two free throws by Derek Glasser with 13:11 to play only to see Duke break it open with the deciding run. Trent Lockett, limited to 30 minutes by foul trouble, and Glasser both had 13 points for the Sun Devils. The victory allowed Duke to extend some impressive streaks. This was its 11th straight win in this tournament as the Blue Devils swept to the title in 2000 and 2005. They also won the inaugural tournament in 1985. This was Duke’s fourth straight win at Madison Square Garden and the 11th in its last 12 games in the building. It also was the Blue Devils’ 21st straight win in November, a streak that dates to a 2006 loss to Marquette.

Texas A&M stuns No. 19 Clemson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

David Loubeau added 12 points and nine rebounds for the Aggies (4-0), who will face No. 8 West Virginia in a semifinal game today.

Housing slowly crawls back WASHINGTON (AP) — Sales of new homes rose more than 6 percent in October. But that was only because of strong results in the South. Home prices rose in 11 major metro areas in September, but fell in nine. Home resales, meanwhile, were up nationwide, with the biggest gain in the Midwest. Taken together, the data show that the housing market’s recovery is still in its infancy and likely to be bumpy. “We’re muddling along the bottom of the housing cycle,”

said John Burns, a Californiabased real estate consultant. That mirrors the broader economy, which is emerging from the longest recession since the Great Depression. Reports Wednesday showed a decline in new jobless claims and an increase in consumer spending, while orders for costly manufactured goods fell unexpectedly. If the upward trend in housing continues, it would give the economic recovery more fuel. Spending on homebuilding and remodeling were an economic

driver in the July-September quarter for the first time in nearly four years. During the housing bust, the building industry scaled back on construction to thin the glut of homes on the market. There were 239,000 new homes for sale at the end of October, the lowest inventory level in nearly four decades. At the current sales pace, that’s a 6.7 months of supply, down from last winter’s peak of more than a year, and a sign that builders may soon ramp up construction. “If you’re looking for a sign

that builders will need to start swinging their hammers again soon, this is it,” wrote Mike Larson, real estate analyst at Weiss Research. New home sales were up more than 5 percent from a year ago, the first yearly increase since November 2005. Sales are now up 31 percent from the bottom in January, but down 69 percent from their peak in July 2005. Sales at John Wieland Homes and Neighborhoods were up by half last month compared with a year earlier. The company builds homes in the Carolinas,

Georgia and Tennessee. “There’s a lot of people on the prowl,” said company founder and CEO John Wieland. “It’s incredible how much has changed in a year.” Both the economy and the housing market are being propped up with unprecedented government intervention. The Obama administration is trying to limit the supply of foreclosures with a mortgage relief program, while attracting more buyers with tax incentives. The Federal Reserve, meanwhile, is keeping interest rates low.

SHOPPING FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Retailers hope for busy weekend

Gadgets for drivers abound this season DETROIT (AP) — Car lovers view their rides as their castles. If someone like that is on your holiday gift list, here are a few gadgets, all under $200, that will add to their quality time on the road. They range from GPS navigation systems to a wide assortment of in-car DVD players.

extra payments for map updates, live traffic updates and other services. Service plans vary widely, from a $40 annual fee for a $200 Magellan Maestro 3250 to free traffic — with ads — for the $240 Garmin Nuvi 265T, according to Consumer Reports. Other models now include traffic and other services in the original cost.

NAVIGATION SYSTEMS GPS (global positioning system) devices have been around for a while, but keep getting cheaper and more accurate. Among the most popular brands are Garmin, Magellan and TomTom. Hand-held GPS devices now start around $100, although souped-up systems that can give live traffic updates or play music from an MP3 player cost closer to $700. Basic GPS devices provide driving directions and can point you toward services like gas stations or hospitals. Mid-range devices have additional features such as spoken street names or a lane assistant that tells you which lane to get in on the freeway. Some units may require

BLUETOOTH CAR KITS Some of the more expensive GPS devices include Bluetooth, which uses short-range wireless signals to enable you to talk on your phone hands-free while driving. Portable Bluetooth speakers are also sold separately. The Miccus Inc.’s BBAT-01 BluBridge Auto-Talk, introduced in September, attaches to the windshield and is solar-powered, eliminating the need to change batteries. It sells for $59.99 on Amazon.com.

VEHICLE DVD PLAYERS There are a range of options for DVD players. They can be mounted in headrests and sun visors, on the dashboard and on the ceiling. Screens can be as small as 5 inches

A Garmin GPS unit is shown inside a vehicle in Tampa, Fla. and as large as 17 inches. Prices can climb to more than $1,000. Still there are more affordable options. • The Boss BV9990 has a 7-inch, dash-mounted touch screen and can play DVDs, CDs, AM/FM radio and MP3 audio. It’s $199.99 on Amazon.com. • Roadview offers a 9-inch headrest with a

built-in DVD player and screen for $201.93. • XOVision has an overhead 9” monitor with built-in DVD player that feeds sound through the radio for $147. Don’t want to hear the SpongeBob DVD while you’re driving? Headphones are extra.

SATELLITE RADIO Some cars, including

models from Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Hyundai and Nissan, are already equipped with radios that offer XM Satellite radio, which has 170 digital channels. For those that aren’t, XM Satellite radio offers a $79.99 unit you can plug into your car. Subscriptions start at $9.99 per month.

Before you buy, know the return policy NEW YORK (AP) — It’s OK if your boyfriend doesn’t like the digital camera you bought him. So long as he doesn’t open the box. As you begin your holiday shopping, remember that return policies vary greatly, even among products from the same store. For example, some retailers charge a 15 percent restocking fee on digital cameras and other electronics if the packaging is unsealed. That’s even if the items weren’t used. Policies may differ from what you remember, too. Many retailers have loosened rules to boost sales, but others are tightening them to protect against losses in the downturn. So before you start shopping, be sure you’re aware of the hassles you could be leaving under the tree.

Most stores require returns to be made within a certain time. Some major chains, including Sears, Target and Walmart, allow as many as 90 days to return most items. Smaller retailers usually permit far less, often 10 days or two weeks. There can also be numerous exceptions within a store policy. Electronics usually need to be returned much sooner, and the specifics can vary depending on the product. At Best Buy, for example, you have 14 days to return a computer, but 30 days for a printer. Some stores roll out special holiday policies to give people more time to make returns. Other stores set deadlines in mid- to late January for the return of unwanted gifts. Once you find out the policy, consider

including the information at the bottom of a card for the recipient. Always include a gift receipt, which omits the price you paid. It seems minor, but the gesture can prevent headaches at the counter. That’s particularly true if you want to be sure the person gets an exchange of equal value. Chances are the sweater you buy your niece will be marked down after Christmas. Without a receipt, she may only be credited with the sale price. Or you can hold on to the receipt if the gift is for immediate family. If your husband doesn’t like the tie you pick, you can get your money back and buy him something else. If you don’t have a receipt, larger chains, includ-

A shopper checks her receipt outside Macy’s in New York. ing Target, can use your credit or debit card to look up how much you paid and give you an even return or exchange. Restocking fees of 15 percent or more can add up quickly. The fee on an

$800 laptop, for instance, could be $120 or more. The lesson? Even if you want to “ooh and aah” over a present to show your appreciation, be sure it’s for keeps before you tear into the packaging.

NEW YORK — In Manhattan’s trendy Soho district, Gap Inc.’s Old Navy chain has a prominent window sign telling shoppers it’s open for business on Thanksgiving Day. Across the street, the British retailer Topshop promised early birds a free English breakfast Friday morning. In fact, while retailers like Sears Holdings Corp. have been touting their holiday-season offerings since as early as summertime, and industry behemoth Wal-Mart Stores Inc. unfurled a Black Friday-style promotion a week early, the jostling will come to a climax today with the official kickoff of the industry’s most critical period. It’s called Black Friday because it’s the date on which retailers are traditionally expected to become profitable for the year. Against the backdrop of a still-struggling U.S. economy marked by a 26-year-high jobless rate, retailers from Target Corp. to Best Buy Co. are opening their doors earlier than ever or making sure their highest-profile specials, from the $3 slow cooker at Target to the $197 Hewlett-Packard laptop at Best Buy, are enticing and competitive enough to drive traffic to their stores and set an upbeat tone for the season. Wal-Mart has emphasized in its ads that it will match prices in any local competitor’s print ad. “You have to make your plan” for Black Friday weekend, said Barclays Capital analyst Robert Drbul in an interview, adding this weekend can be expected to generate 10 percent of total holiday season sales. “It’s hard to play catch-up. A lot of what you are seeing (in terms of store promotions) is surgical and tactical. It’s well-planned.” While one day doesn’t a season make, Black Friday, as has been the case for several years, is again expected to be the No. 1 shopping day by both foot traffic and sales, generating 6 percent of the season’s turnover, according to store-tracker ShopperTrak.

Containment lines around 90 percent of the fire were completed by Wednesday night, with full containment completed by noon Thursday, the Orange County Fire Authority said. No homes were threatened, but firefighters were watching in case winds whipped the fire back to life. About 200 firefighters and a helicopter were on the scene. One firefighter

suffered a minor eye injury. The fire erupted Tuesday as Santa Ana winds buffeted parts of the region. The National Weather Service said the winds would continue through Thanksgiving morning. Advisories for 35 mph winds were issued widely and â&#x20AC;&#x153;red flagâ&#x20AC;? warnings of fire danger were posted for the Santa Ana Mountains across Orange, Riverside and San Diego counties. Gusts up to 55 mph were recorded in Los Angeles County. Blowing out of the northeast and pushing damp ocean air offshore, the Santa Anas

he High Point Market wound down five weeks ago, but already a number of buildings in the market district are being prepped for Showtime, High Point’s semiannual fabric market Dec. 6-9. Showtime is produced by and for the members of the International Textile Market Association (ITMA), which has Catherine Morsell as its director. The ITMA Web site reports that, during the months of December and June, this HERE & internationalTHERE ly acclaimed market offers Tom the most thorBlount ough fabric, ■■■ leather and trimmings presentations in the Western hemisphere. While Showtime, with some 3,000 participants, pales in comparison with the High Point Market, for which 75,329 were registered in October, the fabric show manages to provide an economic impact of nearly $1.4 million.

KEEPING IN TOUCH Nancy Bowman of the High Point Convention & Visitors Bureau reminds us that the “50 and Fabulous” Exhibit runs through Jan. 15 at the Doll & Miniature Museum of High Point, featuring America’s most famous fashion doll. Hours: 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and 1-4 p.m. Sundays. Cost: Adults, $5; seniors, student groups, $4; youths 6-15, $2.50; children under 6 free. Call 885-3655. ... Bowman also reports that the William Penn High School Class of 1968 is celebrating with a reunion this weekend with Best Western High Point as its “headquarters.” ... And, the schedule shows that 150 will be in the city Jan. 16-18 for the Professional Photographers of North Carolina’s 2010 Winter Central Seminar, again with the Best Western as host.

KEEPING TRACK You may wonder where some of the money that service clubs raise goes. Vivian Ruden has notified Rotary Club of Furnitureland that, “Since my time as treasurer, 1980, you have given $334,500 (to Mobile Meals). Can you imagine how many poor, hungry people you have fed? I am so grateful for your caring and generous giving.” Ruden added a postscript: Through 2008, meals served total 1,099,339.

Crafts show offers something you can bank on BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

wenty-five years ago this week, John Chestnut’s life took a dramatic turn – a turn for the worse, it appeared. A quarter-century later, though, Chestnut – inventor of the whimsical Big Belly Banks for children – realizes the dramatic turn his life took that day actually has turned out to be a positive. “I’m living the American dream now,” says Chestnut, who will bring his popular Big Belly Banks to the Craftsmen’s Christmas Classic Arts & Crafts Festival this weekend at the Greensboro Coliseum. Chestnut, who lives in Elizabethtown, N.Y., had been a state police officer, until an automobile accident shattered his legs, effectively ending his law enforcement career. With no insurance to cover the loss of income, times grew tough, and Chestnut resorted to making his daughters’ Christmas presents. That led to him making an item to sell at arts and crafts shows, and at one of those shows, Chestnut recalls a goose chasing him, trying to get his sandwich. “He kept stretching his neck out farther and farther, and it just struck me as funny-looking,” Chestnut says. “So I made a goose with a long neck like that as one of my daughter’s birthday presents.” Chestnut made the critter a bank, with a winding “esophagus” for coins to travel down to the belly. “So it actually eats your money,” he says. “I took that bank to a craft show, and I sold 970 of them in four days. That was more money than I’d ever seen, being a state police officer.” Since then, Chestnut has expanded the number of critters he offers and now has sold more than 700,000 of his Big Belly Banks. For the Craftsmen’s Christmas Classic, he will bring the Coinasaurus, a 20-inch-tall dinosaur bank that’s available in six color combinations – two-tone blue, two-tone pink, two-tone kelly green, aqua with blue highlights, purple with green highlights, and purple with pink highlights. (There’s also a 23inch model, but Chestnut won’t have it with him in Greensboro.) According to Chestnut, the banks are all hand-crafted, using a recycled wood product called MDF, or medium-density fiberboard. The globe in the critter’s stomach is made from

Big Belly Banks were invented 25 years ago. a recyclable plastic. One reason for the banks’ appeal is their simplicity, Chestnut says. “People always say, ‘What a great idea – why didn’t I think of that?’” he says. “And it’s fun to watch the money go down as the bank ‘eats’ it. You can actually see the money go back and forth down the neck into the tummy.” The Big Belly Banks also make great gifts, Chestnut adds. “Usually when you buy a child a toy, they might play with it for a few minutes,” he says. “But these banks are room decorations, they’re educational, they’re fun, and they end up being a keepsake. I have people who got one when they were a kid, and now they’re getting them for their own kids.” For more information about Big Belly Banks, visit www. bigbellybanks.com.

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

cyclist riding in honor of a High Point resident battling multiple sclerosis captured one of the Tour to Tanglewood’s top awards. Burlington’s Greg Seel, who rode in the annual fundraiser in honor of his friend William Newman, of High Point, won the Suzanne Bland Hustle Award, which is given to a person who goes above and beyond in his or her efforts to create awareness about the National Multiple Sclerosis Society through participation in the event.

The award was presented on Nov. 12. Seel and Newman were fraternity brothers at Elon University. Seel decided to Seel ride in the Tour to Tanglewood in Newman’s honor after learning of his struggles with MS. He bought a bike last spring, rode in his first ride in May – the Gears and Cheers ride – and then spent the rest of the summer training and raising funds and awareness. “I just thought that was a

great honor for Greg, because he worked so hard,” Newman said. “He really went above and beyond to help the MS Society.” Some 1,600 cyclists participated in this year’s event and raised more than $986,000, according to the MS Society. All money raised will be used by the Central North Carolina Chapter of the MS Society to help support families with MS and fund research to create a world free of MS. For more information on the ride, call (336) 299-4136 or visit the Web site at www.bikemsncc. org.

The Comprehensive Cancer Center at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center has been awarded a grant from the National Cancer Institute to partner with community cancer centers across the country to improve cancerrelated health care disparities in underserved, disadvantaged and uninsured populations. “The reality is that African Americans and other minority populations tend not to participate in clinical trials, preventing them from taking advantage of potentially life-saving therapies,” said Dr. John H. Stewart IV, a surgical oncologist at the Comprehensive Cancer Center and project leader for the grant. “The objective of this grant is to have large, comprehensive cancer centers like Wake Forest Baptist help smaller community cancer centers utilize patient navigators to provide education and facilitate the enrollment of minority populations in cancerrelated clinical trials.” The $300,000 grant will be used to initiate cancer patient navigator programs and evaluate the role of patient navigators in clinical trials. Patient navigators work with patients to bridge cultural and linguistic barriers, provide education on resources available to patients and help them navigate the health care system.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

If you need to stuff your partner’s stocking, try “A View from the Top,” an excellent instructional CD-ROM featuring world champion Bob Hamman. He guides you through 35 challenging deals. In today’s deal, Hamman approves of South’s probing third bid of three diamonds. North then jumps boldly to five clubs. West leads a diamond: jack, queen, ace. The key point is that South should pitch a diamond from dummy on the ace of hearts at Trick Two. Otherwise, the defense may force him to ruff a diamond in his hand at some stage, removing a trump he needs to ruff a spade and set up dummy’s spades.

RUFF-SLUFF South next takes the AK of trumps and leads a spade: deuce, king, ace. If the defense plays two more rounds of diamonds, giving South a useless ruff-sluff, he ruffs in dummy and has the entries to set up the spades. “A View from the Top,” easy to use, is available from Baron-Barclay, (800) 274-2221 or www.baronbarclay.com. Ask for a

free catalog of books and products.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K 8 H A Q 5 4 2 D A 2 C A 9 7 2. You open one heart, and your partner responds one spade. What do you say? ANSWER: Bid two clubs (the action Bob Hamman recommends in today’s deal). You have a promising hand but must hope partner can bid again. A jump to three clubs would force to game even if your partner has a minimum six-point response. A jump to 2NT would suggest balanced pattern and more high-card strength. North dealer Neither side 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.

LIFE&STYLE THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2009 www.hpe.com

Raising kids requires a good bit of luck developing our talent, and when we are in that right place at that right time, knowing weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re prepared to take advantage of it. J.Lo probably did the greatest audition ever for the role of Selena. Yes, the timing of it was luck, but she developed her talent to take advantage of the opportunity. I got in showbiz the same way, turning a fortuitous meeting into my first job and using some knowledge I had about my future bossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend and associate to ingratiate myself with him and make him laugh. It was luck that I met him and good prep that I knew who he knew. But, with parenting, we cannot beat ourselves up for how our children turn out. We can help, we can guide, and we can instruct, but ultimately they will grow up and make their own decisions. If their friends are into drugs or drinking, will they have the strength to withstand that peer pressure? I hope weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve raised our children to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;No,â&#x20AC;? but only time will tell. The irony is that I do believe we can mess up our kids easier than we can make them into model citizens. It is sort of like how one bad driver can cause a mess of trouble for a whole freeway of good drivers. Poor parenting does more damage than good parenting does good. I still urge all parents to be giving and to love their children to the very best of their abilities. I used to read to my sons almost ev-

As ear-piercing goes younger, one mom resists BY LISA A. FLAM ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

knew the question would be coming someday: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mommy, can I get my ears pierced?â&#x20AC;? I was prepared for the request, if not to deliver the bad news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can get your ears pierced when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re older,â&#x20AC;? I told my almost 5-yearold daughter. The only reason she knew to ask, naturally, is that her friends have pierced ears. In fact, my brand-new kindergartner told me that â&#x20AC;&#x153;everybody in my class has pierced ears except for the boys and me.â&#x20AC;? Despite feeling some peer pressure, she accepted my answer and moved on to other things, like her evergrowing birthday present wish list. I had dodged the earring-gun bullet for now, but wondered how long Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be able to hold my ground. To me, playing dress-up with clip-on or stick-on earrings seemed about right for a 4-year-old. And I figured the younger she is with pierced ears, the more work it would mean for me in keeping them infection-free. And, well, why should she get something sooner than I did?

I got my ears pierced in third grade after flying solo (gasp) from Massachusetts to New Jersey to visit my aunt and uncle. While I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember longing for earrings like girls so often do, my Aunt Judy recalls that â&#x20AC;&#x153;you wanted it terribly.â&#x20AC;? So I was just like todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls, begging and begging. But at 4? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ear piercing is getting a little bit younger over the generations because of the cultural influence,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Tanya Altmann, a spokeswoman for the American Academy of Pediatrics who does ear piercing for her patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Often they want to look like their favorite celebrity and ear piercing is one of the safer ways.â&#x20AC;? Many of my friends, born in the late 1960s, got pierced around the ages of 7, 8 and 9. Several of my daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends got them as a graduation present from

preschool or for their fifth birthdays. Some got them earlier, at 2 or 3. By contrast, Altmann, who is 37 and got pierced in sixth grade, remembers her grandmother telling stories of her and her friends piercing each othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ears during the ripe old high school years. Even though the trend, like so many things, is pushing younger for some young girls who might want to seem grown up, Altmann recommends parents wait until girls can take care of their ears themselves, usually at age 10 or 11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ear piercing should be a privilege â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something you do for your daughter when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mature enough to take care of it,â&#x20AC;? Altmann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a parent, you have to set limits and decide when am I going to let my child wear make up or get her ears pierced. Often middle

school is a good time for most of these decisions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, in some cases ear piercing is OK at a younger age,â&#x20AC;? she said, if the girl is willing to sit still to have holes put in her ears and has parents willing to help her care for them. As I work on getting my daughter the birthday presents I know she really wants, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t revisit the earring issue anytime soon. And the gold studs I got pierced in? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re staying tucked safely away â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at least until third grade.

ery night when they were young. I patted myself on the back at being such a great dad when they both spontaneously began to read in kindergarten. What a great job I had done, or so I thought. I later learned of many other parents, my friends, who read just as much or more than I did and whose children had all sorts of difficulties learning to read. It made me re-think my contributions to their spontaneous reading. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure my reading didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt, but how much it helped is unknown. The same applies to all the good things we do as parents. I still believe strongly that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather stack the deck in our favor by making every effort I can to instruct, model and otherwise instill good habits and values in my kids. I know just by reading the paper or watching the news how much luck impacts everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. Right now, I have to declare unilaterally that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a big pile of luck. I just hope it continues as the boys grow up.

We also offer interior design, home accessories, and wallpaper

in parenting. The two families that I know who are suffering the ongoing terrors of having a child who is an addict are among the most stable, loving and wholesome families I know. A DADâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S These are not families of divorce and they each POINT have a stay-at-home OF VIEW loving mom, an involved dad, financial security, Bruce religious values, etc. Sallan Yet, I know both couples â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; are constantly berating themselves over what they might have done differently. In their minds loving their children, apparently was not enough. Bunk! There is luck in life. I feel lucky to have gone to college when I did and to have had the entertainment career that I had. Neither would be possible now, with the grades I had and the nature of showbiz today. I also feel lucky that I was born in the United States, to wonderful, loving parents, that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always had my health, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had more than my share of good fortune along the way. I just as easily could have been born in a Third World country, with various health problems, and poverty and hunger as a way of life. No, luck is a big factor for all of us. I also believe we can influence and make our own luck by working hard,

aising kids, like a lot of things in life, involves many factors, but luck is a major one. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve faced recent reminders about this when I attended the Bar Mitzvah of a young man with severe learning disabilities. Or, the recent visit from my best friend who shared a conversation he just had with his wife in which they were each trying to figure out what they did wrong that resulted in their three adult children lacking any career focus. And, finally, the two men I know who are suffering the horrors of dealing with late teen or young adult drug addicts. In the world of show business, to illustrate another world and example, do you really think the big stars in Hollywood are the most talented? While I love Jennifer Lopez and do indeed think she is quite talented, there was a certain degree of luck that they were making a movie about the life of Selena when J.Lo was just beginning her career. If her first movie had been a flop, would we be seeing her in every celebrity magazine? As a former showbiz veteran, I often said it requires two things to succeed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;talent and luck.â&#x20AC;? Other showbiz examples are numerous, going back to when Lana Turner was discovered having ice cream at the long gone Schwabâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drugstore on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. It may have been a legend, but there are plenty of those stories that are true. I maintain that luck is a huge factor
