A new approach to helping those in need

BOND BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – For those who are homeless or otherwise in need of crisis assistance in High Point, the safety net is wide. Any number of agencies can provide help, whether it’s shelter, food, clothing or something more indepth. But, experts whose work and knowledge touches this issue, call this a “Band-Aid” approach that needs improvements. “What we’re doing now, by and large, almost exclusively, is just helping someone over a particular crisis without delving into and trying to find out – if they want you to – what some of the underlying causes are that have led them to the place where they’re needing assistance, and then seeing if you can help them deal with some of those underlying issues,” said David Miller, a High Point businessman and longtime advocate for causes related to homelessness. UNITED Miller and others are trying to IN CRISIS change human service agencies’ emergency delivery system with the The new advent of the Community Resource Community Network, which was established Resources Sept. 1. Eight agencies have joined Network together in a network of providers ■■■ with the goal of developing a more efficient, effective way of serving the city’s needy. Advocates say that the goal is to eliminate duplication of services and make it faster and easier for those in need of help to access resources. The network is composed of Helping Hands Ministries, Hope Outreach Center, Macedonia Family Resource Center, Open Door Ministries, the Salvation Army of High Point, Sincerely Agape, Southern Triad Mission at Ward Street Mission and West End Ministries. The network has divided the city into regions,

Process targets 3 areas

each of which is served by a particular network member. The goal is for each member to serve individuals that reside in its region. Advocates say that, in the past, those in need have had to go all over the city in order to obtain assistance piecemeal. If their neighborhood agency can’t help them, they will refer clients to another organization. Organizers want to connect the agencies through an Internet-based network they hope will improve efficiency by enhancing communication, encouraging collaboration and reducing fraud. Advocates say they hope the network will simplify things for donors as well. “Say I wanted to help homeless people or I wanted to provide emergency assistance. If I was a donor and wanted to make sure I get the best bang for my buck, I see this network as a way where I don’t really have to do my homework. I know the network is going to do the homework,” said Maj. Marty Sumner of the High Point Police Department, chairman of the CRN advisory committee. “They’re going to make these assessments – What do each one of these agencies have? Who are they serving? What do they need? So this will be a way you can put your money in direct emergency assistance without having to look over 10 different agencies to see which one you think might be the best. We’re going to do that for you.”

HIGH POINT – The Community Resource Network is concentrating its efforts in three areas of emergency need – non-perishable food assistance, rent/ mortgage assistance and utility assistance. For a client who comes to one of the network sites, organizers say, a staff member doing intake work will handle the issue of what kind of assistance to provide. Organizers said the sites are in the process of establishing a designated space to handle the intake work. “A lot of it’s just going to be referrals, so I don’t envision this process taking a lot of staff,” said CRN Advisory Committee

MIDWAY – Winston-Salem is expected to make a decision next month on whether hundreds of residents living outside of Midway’s town limits will be voluntarily annexed into the town, according to Midway’s town administrator.

If a neighborhood wants to become part of Midway, 100 percent of its residents would have to agree to be annexed, Ross said. “As we get neighborhoods, we are going to bring them in as we can because waiting on everybody

at one time could get a little difficult because you do have to have 100 percent,” Ross said. George Byrum, the town’s mayor, said he hasn’t heard any negative comments about the proposed annexations. “Everyone seems to be excited about having the new additions to the town,” Byrum said. “I think it’s going to be good for the town and be good for the residents who will be joining us.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

The goal is for all eight members of the network to provide food assistance at least on a weekly basis by Jan. 1, said Wanda Dellinger, network coordinator. “The goal is to have all of them open at least once a week, and we’ll use the same intake form and we’ll all be on the same system,” Dellinger said. “We’ll just be more uniform.” The ultimate goal is for a relationship to develop between the client and the CRN organization, making the assistance more than a “Band-Aid” in a crisis, officials said. Instead, organizers say they want to help clients determine and address

2 N.C. nursing home residents killed by train

AP

Jasani Norris, 2, rests with her mother Brenda at their house in Elizabeth City. Jasani was fostered from the time she was two days old by Brenda and Barry Norris and then later adopted.

N.C. empty-nesters decide to adopt, transform family ELIZABETH CITY (AP) – Twoyear-old Jasani Norris runs through her adoptive family’s living room with the manic energy of a healthy, well-loved child, squealing and giggling with each step. She greets Mom and Dad with bright eyes and a wide grin, anticipating the approving smiles and loving pats she receives in return for her enthusiastic appearance at their knees. “Gum!” she proclaims. “I want some gum.” Her plea for gum is sort of impish, as though she knows there is such a treat, but might not receive it anyway. The adults seem mildly baffled as to her repetitive plea for gum since none seems to be handy. “I don’t have any gum,” her

mother, Brenda Norris, tells her. Jasani moves on for a few minutes, running and playing, and then returns to her mother. “I want some gum,” she repeats. Eventually it’s discovered that her 17-year-old sister Cassie is chewing gum. The mystery is quickly solved and Brenda Norris asks Cassie to give her baby sister a small piece. Across from Brenda is her husband, Barry, sitting comfortably on a soft loveseat. Not in the family’s cozy, well-appointed living room is their oldest son, 21-year-old Kirk; he’s away attending university. This was a family of four until a couple of years ago, when Jasani came into their lives. She’s their adopted daughter and has been in the family since she was two days

old, a foster child appointed to them by the courts. Three years ago, Brenda and Barry made a decision that would change their lives. They were both 40 and both saw that very soon they would be empty-nesters. Yet they couldn’t resist the urge to reach out and bring children into their lives; children that needed a chance at love, and whose parents, Barry says, might have needed some time to get their lives right before trudging on with their children. “We got into foster parenting to help parents out,” explains Barry. Barry says it was a calling. He believes that in his relationship with God, he and Brenda were called to reach out and help children, and their parents.

KANNAPOLIS (AP) – Two residents of a North Carolina nursing home have died after authorities say they were struck by a passenger train. Multiple media outlets report that 39-year-old Billy Richardson and 52-year-old Randy Davis were killed when an Amtrak train struck them at around 6 p.m. Friday in Kannapolis. The train engineer said it looked like Davis had been trying to pull Richardson off the tracks. Both men lived at Britthaven Nursing Home, less than a mile from where they were killed.

Officials: Beware of scammers during Census BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – It won’t be long before the U.S. Census Bureau sends out workers for 2010 Census. And hard as it may be to believe, scammers have developed ways to take advantage of people while posing as government agents, warns the Better Business Bureau. “This will be the first U.S. Census since identity theft became a major problem in this country,â€? said Kevin Hinterberger, president and CEO of the BBB in Greensboro. “We know that con artists are clever and possibly will pose as government agents to get access to personal information.â€? Census workers will not contact you by email – only by phone, by mail or in person, Hinterberger said. Census questionnaires could arrive in the mail at Triad residences as soon as March. There are ways to distinguish real census workers from the crooks, according to BBB: • Census workers will have identification and a confidentiality notice. • Government agents will not ask for a Social Security number or any information about bank or credit card accounts,

Records show N.C. lottery spends $11M on advertising RALEIGH (AP) – The North Carolina lottery spent about $11 million in the most recent fiscal year on advertising, encouraging ticket buyers to play responsibly – and to keep them buying more lottery tickets, a newspaper reported Saturday.

2010 CENSUS

From billboards to ads featuring game show characters and a singing chorus, the lottery spent $10.9 million in the 2009 fiscal year on television, radio ads and print ads, according to information obtained by the News & Observer of Raleigh through

a public records request. At least as far as boosting ticket sales, the lottery’s director says the money is working. Tom Shaheen, executive director of the N.C. Education Lottery, said the lottery’s sales in the 2009 fiscal year were up 20 percent

over the year before. “It’s a presence of mind,� said Shaheen, adding that a man who won a big prize from the scratch-off ticket based on Ric Flair told him he bought a ticket because he saw the game’s commercial featuring the iconic former wrestler.

Swiss ready Polanski’s chalet for house arrest

FAMOUS, FABULOUS, FRIVOLOUS

---

R&B star Chris Brown to appear on ‘20/20’ NEW YORK (AP) – ABC says Chris Brown will appear on its “20/20� newsmagazine Dec. 11. In what’s billed as an in-depth interview, the singer will discuss his assault of ex-girlfriend and recording superstar Rihanna in February. He is on probation for the beating. Robin Roberts, anchor of ABC’s “Good Morning America,� conducts the interview. It was taped last weekend. ABC spokesman Jeffrey Schneider says clips may also air on “Good Morning America.� He says Brown will not perform live. Brown is scheduled to release his album “Graffiti� on Dec. 8. He has previously spoken about the attack on MTV News and “Larry King Live.� Rihanna was interviewed this month by ABC’s Diane Sawyer.

AP

Chris Brown leaves the Criminal Justice Center after a hearing earlier this month in Los Angeles to offer a judge his first progress report since being sentenced for beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna earlier this year.

GSTAAD, Switzerland (AP) – Security experts on Saturday started preparing Roman Polanski’s Alpine chalet for the movie director’s house arrest while Swiss authorities consider whether to extradite him to the United States. A Hummer bearing the sign in French “DR Securite Polanski Services� was parked outside the empty three-story building Saturday morning, while three men and a woman took photographs of the property and spent about an hour inside. They declined to say what they were doing, but the company handles a range of services from video surveillance to alarm installations and armored doors. One of the key courtimposed conditions of Polanski’s house arrest is that he be fitted with an electronic monitoring bracelet.

Suit filed over Buckley family trust fund HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) – Six children of the sister of the late conservative columnist William F. Buckley are accusing their father of stealing money from a trust fund their mother set up using some of the Buckley family fortune.

The children of Aloise Buckley Heath, a West Hartford resident who died in 1967, filed a lawsuit against 95-year-old Benjamin Heath in June in Hartford Superior Court. They accuse him of transferring more than half the money out of the trust.

Police report 4 shot in Madison duplex

BRUNSWICK, Maine (AP) – The two last planes at Maine’s Brunswick Naval Air Station lifted off Saturday, ending nearly 60 years of maritime patrol operations at New England’s last active-duty military air base.

MADISON, Wis. – Four people, including two children, were wounded early Saturday at a duplex in what investigators described as domestic shootings. Madison police said they didn’t know what prompted the shootings and were waiting Saturday afternoon to talk to the victims, who were still emerging from surgery. “I have four injured people and we don’t have a straight story on what happened,� Sgt. Phil Moore said.

Man accused of slaying son on Thanksgiving

Relative sought in 4 holiday killings

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – A Thanksgiving dispute turned deadly outside Colorado Springs, where police say a 76year-old man shot and killed his son. Ayalis Clay Oliver is being held without bond in the El Paso County jail. He’s accused of shooting his 49-year-old son, Keith Oliver of Denver. Oliver told police he and his son had been arguing when the victim’s mother, 75-year-old Marjorie Oliver, asked her son to leave. When he refused, the arrest affidavit says the father went upstairs, retrieved a .357-calber revolver and shot his son once in the head.

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) – Authorities were searching Saturday for a man police said opened fire on his family after Thanksgiving dinner and killed four people, including his pregnant sister and a 6-year-old cousin who was sleeping in her bed. There had been “ongoing resentment� in the family, but investigators weren’t sure what specifically prompted the shooting, officials said. Police were looking for Paul Michael Merhige, 35, of

Board to discuss grants BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

Terri Nelson, executive director of the Fairgrove Family Resource Center, stands with items to be included in the center’s fundraising auction.

Bidding for those in need Fairgrove center hosts annual auction

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

AT A GLANCE

THOMASVILLE – Terri Nelson said those who buy items during Fairgrove Family Resource Center’s annual auction this weekend will be helping the center at a time when needs are “critical.” “It’s critical that we raise money,” said Nelson, executive director of the center. “We do have grant funding, but it doesn’t cover a lot of the things we need, such as paying our own power bill and that kind of thing. This helps us with our operations and programs.” The auction, which is the center’s largest fundraiser of the year, is set for 5 p.m. Saturday inside the gym at Fair Grove Elementary School. The event, which raised $10,500 for the center last year, had been held at Central Recreation Center in Thomasville for several years. Some of the items that will

–

What: Fairgrove Family Resource Center’s sixth annual auction. All proceeds will benefit programs at Fairgrove Family Resource Center. Where: Fair Grove Elementary School gym, 217 Cedar Lodge Road, Thomasville. When: 5 p.m. Saturday

be auctioned include autographed Brian Vickers memorabilia, Bob Timberlake portraits and an autographed picture of Hannah Montana. The center also has received a donated four-wheeler from Old Dominion Freight Line. And for the fourth consecutive year, the Shady Grove United Methodist Men has built an 8-foot-by-10-foot storage building, which usually is auctioned off for about $1,500.

“It’s made with quality materials, quality workmanship,” Nelson said of the storage building. “It’s made with a lot of love.” Fairgrove Family Resource Center distributes more than 12,000 pounds of food monthly. The center also has a backpack program, where 160 children in three elementary schools take food home in their bookbags for the weekend. Funds from the auction also will help with the center’s “Gifts From The Heart” program. The program, offered to local families having financial difficulty, allows volunteers to adopt a child and provide them with toys and necessities, such as socks, shoes and clothes. Nelson said the center still is taking donated items to be auctioned at the event. To make a donation, contact the center at 472-7217. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

GUILFORD COUNTY – School district officials could decide as soon as Tuesday if they want a slice of a possible state grant to enhance teacher merit pay. With a January decision for merit pay plans approaching, the Board of Education will discuss the “Race to the Top” grant program during a 6 p.m. meeting at the district’s administrative offices in Greensboro. The Obama administration pushed for stimulus funds for reform initiatives. State officials are looking for as much as a $500 million slice of a $4.35 billion program for school improvements. States will be judged on a 500-point scale to measure their plans. To use grants for merit pay, states must have no legal barriers to linking student growth and achievement data to the evaluation of teachers and principals. Dennis Bega of the education department’s Atlanta office told educators gathered in Greensboro on Nov. 12 for their annual summit that the Obama administration wants to see “exciting changes to benefit the kids.” Proposals are due in January with funding decisions made in April. State officials have already endorsed grant proposals aimed at curriculum reform, helping struggling schools and data reporting and analysis. District officials and teachers, who are evaluating the impact of Mission Possible and other pay structures, have discussed teacher bonus-pay plans at several public forums. A grant partly supporting the Mission Possible program will expire after the next school year.

HIGH POINT – For many High Point area residents, the Christmas season officially opens when the annual Christmas Cheer Fund drive begins. Today marks the beginning of the Cheer Fund’s 86th campaign. This year’s goal is to raise $35,000 to purchase gifts for nearly 1,500 children. The Christmas Cheer Fund is now organized by the High Point Kiwanis Club. The club’s committee members for the campaign are Ed Thomas, Jim Horney and Wiley Stockton. Debbie Lumpkins and Rhonda Snider of the High Point Area Arts Council

also assist with the project. The campaign was started in 1924 by The High Point Enterprise as a campaign to raise money for needy families. “Local organizations, such as the Rotary, Kiwanis and Civitan clubs, are to aid in taking care of these families,” the Enterprise said in a front page article published Dec. 12, 1924. The initial campaign collected $848. The campaign has changed responsibility over the years. It was operated as an Empty Stocking Fund by the High Point Jaycees for about 30 years, after it was passed around between different private local residents and groups.

Raymond Payne, a High Point homeless advocated, was one of three recipients Nov. 21 of the Nancy Susan Reynolds Award. Payne, who’s with Rabbit Quarter Ministries and cooperates with Open Door Ministries, goes to homeless camps, abandoned houses and under bridges to take supplies and a message of hope to people that many others would rather avoid. The awards, presented by the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, recognize unsung people who make an extraordinary difference in the lives of North Carolinians.

TEACHER PAY

----

District teachers: 5,000 Alternatives: Traditional teacherpay plans give teachers pay raises for longevity and for advanced degrees, rather than for the performance of their students. Many teachers oppose linking bonus pay to student performance. Mission Possible: The Guilford district uses performance pay in Mission Possible, which was installed in 2006 in 30 schools, to pay teachers additional money for teaching certain subjects at lowperforming schools.

WHO’S NEWS

----

When the last local nonprofit charitable organization owner, the late Benny Braica, retired in the late 1990s, the High Point Kiwanis Club took over what’s now called the Christmas Cheer Fund. Distribution of the presents will be Dec. 19 at Mount Vernon Baptist Church, 716 Leonard Ave. Stockton said parents in need are determined by the Guilford County Department of Social Services. A list is given to the Kiwanis Club with the names and address of the parents and the age and sex of the children. Vouchers are then sent to the parents and they

can pick up a bag of gifts on Dec. 19 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The gifts, which include toys, books and shirts from OshKosh B’gosh Co., will be delivered a few days before distribution, and they will be unboxed and re-bagged by the Kiwanis Club committee for distribution on Dec. 19. Donations should be made out to Christmas Cheer Fund and sent to P.O. Box 5467, High Point, NC 27262. A total of contributions and a list of contributors will be published Tuesdays through Fridays and on Sundays during the campaign in The High Point Enterprise beginning this week.

Triad Park, though funded by both counties, is operated by the Forsyth County Parks and Recreation Department. Damon Sanders-Pratt, the assistant county manager for Forsyth, said that the county would arrange for the construction of the memorial projects once the veterans have raised the money.

WINSTON-SALEM – Some area veterans are advocating that a memorial, parade deck and – eventually – an amphitheater honoring veterans be built at Triad Park. The park straddles Guilford and Forsyth counties, and is an ideal site for a memorial to Triad veterans, said Bill Moss, a Marine Corps veteran who is the chairman of the War Memorial Foundation. “It is not just for veterans, it is for veterans’ families,� Moss said.

“It’s like going to church, a place to remember, where you can enjoy the freedoms we have today and recognize the veterans who fought for this great land. This should be a great project for our area, joining the two counties.� The foundation already has approval from the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners and is working to get the same from Guilford County. After that, Moss said, fundraising would begin in earnest. “I can’t really give a price because there is no actual architectural rendering done yet,� Moss

The steeple was removed for the move and needed extensive repairs.

Sudanese teen flogged for wearing ‘indecent’ skirt CAIRO (AP) – A 16-yearold Christian girl from southern Sudan said Friday she was lashed 50 times for wearing a skirt deemed indecent by authorities in the north who enforce a strict version of Islamic law. Silva Kashif said she was arrested by a plain-clothed policeman in a Khartoum market last week for wearing a skirt beneath the knee. She was convicted of offending public morality and received 50 lashes in the courtroom. “I was treated like a criminal,� Kashif said in a telephone interview. “I am confused what to wear. The trousers were an issue. My skirt was beneath the knee. What more can

I do? I am Christian. My tribe and my customs permit me to dress like this.� Human rights lawyer Azhari al-Haj said a legal team plans to sue the authorities for procedural mistakes and to exonerate Kashif. Kashif’s ordeal follows the high profile case of Lubna Hussein, a female journalist who was sentenced to 40 lashes for wearing trousers deemed indecent. Hussein’s sentence was reduced to a fine, and she is now lobbying to change the morality laws. Sudan’s indecency law allows flogging as a punishment. Human rights campaigners say the law is vaguely defined and ar-

bitrarily enforced – and often incorrectly applied to non-Muslims such as south Sudanese Christians living in the capital. Under a 2005 peace deal that ended a 20-year civil war between the Muslim north and the Christian and animist south, laws – including the indecency law – are supposed to be reviewed to respect human rights and freedom of expression. Sudan’s government implements a conservative version of Islamic law in the north. Public order police enforce the laws, banning alcohol, breaking up parties and preventing men and women from mingling in public.

LEONARD PITTS: Revisiting Sammy Sosa: Cosmetics or self-image? TOMORROW

Health care isn’t broken; it just needs some fixes Health care! What a debacle this has become. Just the mention of the words brings cold chills to the hearts of many. Is health care broken? Not really. But it could use some fixing. Take, for example, the young mother who was visiting from another state with her two children, 6 and 8. The oldest came down with a severe earache during the night. The only option for her was to visit the newest of High Point’s emergency rooms on a Sunday morning prior to returning home. The child was examined, and the diagnosis was ear infection, surprise, surprise. After 10 minutes with the doctor, two prescriptions were written, one for $10 and the other for $150 and they were on their way. Then the bill arrived. $550! Remember when Medicare arrived? The government told the doctors how much they would pay for what and then the doctors raised their charges to meet the maximum. Now it is out of control, another prime example of government leadership that has spun so far

ou would expect that motorists’ reactions to a notice that “one of three lanes will be closed in both directions on Interstate 85 at N.C. 62, exit 113, near High Point due to construction of U.S. 311,” would be a loud groan. But many motorists, especially those not regularly traveling through that area, are admitting small signs of relief. Why? Because that construction is evidence that work on the U.S. 311 Bypass that will extend southward all the way to U.S. 220 is continuing in earnest. Ah, what a great day that will be! The good news from the High Point Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization’s meeting last week was that the new section of U.S. 311 from Interstate 85 Business Loop to Spencer Road is 80 percent complete and, according to Mike Mills, division engineer with the N.C. Department of Transportation, “we’re way ahead of schedule.” That indicates the final segment of U.S. 311 – nearly 8 miles from Spencer Road to U.S. 220 southwest of Randleman at an estimated cost of $104 million – should be completed within three years. The not-so-good news is that, even though Gov. Beverly Perdue’s administration has made the $300 million replacement of the I-85 bridge of the Yadkin River at the Davidson-Rowan county line the only project sought for funding from this part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, word of its approval still hasn’t come from President Barack Obama’s administration. We’ve told you before – over a span of almost two years – that we can’t repeat the message that the Yadkin River bridge must be replaced soon too often. It remains the No. 1 transportation priority in this area. Built in the 1950s, that bridge seemingly is an accident waiting to happen, with an estimated 60,000 vehicles crossing it daily and its lifespan projected to end next year. That bridge is a weak link in the primary industrial corridor not only for North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad region but for the southeastern United States as well. Yes, $300 million for bridge replacement is a high price to pay but, as we’ve told you before, it pales in comparison to the cost should that bridge collapse. All of us, state, county and local governments and individual citizens as well need to keep the pressure on the feds to provide the money to get this job done quickly.

Education What’s so good about North Carolina? money, S alone, isn’t the solution

T

he Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation just announced a $335 million investment in teacher effectiveness. The donation is notable not just for its largesse, but for the fact that the funds will be funneled into research on different methods for increasing teacher effectiveness. The need for this type of research cannot be understated. Presently, America’s public schools are more segregated than during the Jim Crow era. Urban families – mostly of color – are trapped in deteriorating public schools. By contrast, wealthy families of all races have abandoned failing schools by either moving to the suburbs or opting for private education. Anyone who tells you that public schools are public because anyone can go to any school is lying. You can only go to the schools where you OPINION can afford to live in the Armstrong neighborWilliams hood and the school quality is part of the expense of that house. In effect, our public school system remains separate and unequal, still. The important thing to realize about this situation is that there is no direct correlation between a public school’s budget and the performance of its students. For years, Washington, D.C., schools ranked among the lowest in student achievement, despite spending more per student than almost any other district in the country. The key to revitalizing America’s urban schools is not just funneling more money into a failing system – throwing good money

----

The key is creating accountability for the teachers. after bad. The key is creating accountability for the teachers in these schools. You see, affluent families who do not like the quality of education that their children are receiving can afford to pick up and leave. Poor inner city parents cannot. In effect, America’s urban public school system functions as a monopoly. As with all monopolies, there is no incentive to change. The Gates Foundation grant makes an important first step toward busting this monopoly precisely because it focuses on teacher performance – on holding teachers accountable for the performance of their students. Rather than simply funneling more money into a dysfunctional bureaucracy, the grant money is directed toward teacher improvement. This is the singlemost important step that we can take toward ensuring that our children reach their full potential.

ir Walter Raleigh’s first explorers described our state as “the goodliest land under the cope of heaven.” What was true then is even truer today, but human nature being what it is, we too frequently focus on what’s bad instead of the goodness we encounter. We have magnificent natural resources here in the Old North State. Oceans, rivers, plains, hills and mountains held together by rich black dirt, sand, clay or rocks. Vast forests still provide a habitat for birds and animals of all sorts. The climate is unequalled, with four distinct seasons, plentiful rains, warm days and cool evenings under starry skies. The land has long produced food and fiber for our sustenance with abundant water for us, our crops and our animals. North Carolina has been blessed with good leaders through the years, men and women with vision who called forth the best in us; people

who understood service above self and looking out for the common good. We have done a good job of selecting those leaders and MY SPIN establishing this as a good governTom ment state. We Campbell have freedom to ■■■ worship as we please and speak our beliefs openly without fear of economic or social recrimination. Here was born the nation’s first public university. Education is a cornerstone of this state, both in primary as well as higher education. Dedicated teachers enable us to learn and think. From these schools have come great people who have made significant contributions, to our state and to the world. Our transportation network allows us to drive, fly or ride to points inside our state or

outside our country. North Carolina’s health care options are the envy of many, extending not only the number but also the quality of our days. Honest judges, aided by diligent court officials, dispense justice fairly. Our business climate is so widely acclaimed that we frequently top the list of most desirable places in which to do commerce. Young men and women can dream big dreams with assurances of positive reinforcement. Here, too, older citizens can find a place to enjoy the fruits of their labors without fear of crime, criticism or undue tax burdens. Perhaps the best thing about our state is its people. North Carolinians care about each other. We love having family near us, to enjoy friendships and to accept others who were not born here. We care about worthwhile nonprofit endeavors that make life better for others. People can be trusted. We possess a strong work ethic

passed to us from our ancestors. Through good times and bad, we are optimistic that better days are ahead, and while we have extreme pride in where we live, we are generally humble. Yes, there are problems, but let us choose not to dwell on them. Words are powerful. Negative words can do damage. Positive words can yield great good. Let us think, say and write good things about our state and our neighbors, not out of a spirit of bragging but out of thanksgiving. There is so much good in North Carolina, and if we focus on these good things, we will be happier and might be surprised what other great benefits this practice might produce.

Stimulating deception Despite Obama’s inflated jobs numbers, real people in America are suffering

I

t seems the president has a new trick up his sleeve to convince us his bloated “stimulus” packages are solving our economic woes: deception. ABC News called out the Obama administration the other day when, on the official Recovery.gov Web site, the administration reported “jobs added” in congressional districts which didn’t even exist. Now, those responsible for the Web site say they’re just reporting the number they’re given, and Vice President Biden has told them to fix it. So that’s OPINION all good, right? We’re in the Michael clear; the presiReagan dent is on top of ■■■ it … Not likely. This is the transparency we were promised? Huge sums of money going to clearly unknown places to create clearly nonexistent jobs? In Oklahoma alone, this Web site tells us $19 million went to parts nonexistent. $11 million in Iowa. $48 million to Puerto Rico. $34 million in Arizona. $140.5 million in the U.S. Virgin Islands. That is, we think. But as none of the districts mentioned in Oklahoma, Iowa, Arizona, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands seem to exist on any congressional map, we really have no idea. Perhaps we’re stimulating Tolkein’s Middle Earth, instead! Even these fictional stimulus projects seem unable to do much. That $19 million in Oklahoma only managed to create

15 jobs. Nice salaries, those. This isn’t simply a matter of changing a few numbers on a Web site, a mistyped district there, an extra “4” over there. No, this is a desperate floundering to appear to meet unmet promises. Even in the real districts, these numbers, this great transparency we’ve been offered, mean nothing. If someone thinks a transaction saved someone a job, it gets counted. Not only is that job hypothetical, it’s also one of those “saved” jobs, not actually new employment created. Not even the slightest bit of help to an unemployment rate higher

than anything we’ve seen in over two decades. There’s talk of yet another stimulus to “create jobs.” Are we supposed to have simply forgotten that creating jobs was the stated purpose of the last stimulus? The most recent package promised to “create or save” 3.5 million jobs by next year. Even the unbelievable Recovery.gov doesn’t believe that has happened. Moreover, 90 percent of those jobs were supposed to have been created in the private sector. Instead, most of the jobs we’re seeing claimed are in fact public sector jobs, and

there have been multiple challenges to the accuracy of those reports. And as more and more taxpayer money goes to unnecessary and inefficient projects, we are only told that the effort is working, we’re saving jobs and President Obama has us on the right track. He might need a little bit more of your money to get us all the way there, of course, but that’s only because what we’re doing is accomplishing so much. I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of this. Real people are struggling to keep their jobs and to make ends meet. Real people are circling ad after ad in the Sunday paper praying this time, please, let it work. Real people are seeing their tax dollars frittered away on foolishness. Real people and real problems should not be made into political semantics. On one level, it makes for an entertaining story. Heard the one about my brother-in-law taking one of those stimulus jobs? Yeah, he had to move to Missouri’s 83rd District to take it. It was only after he arrived he found Missouri only had nine. Yet on every other level this is the sad story, already grown stale in the repeating, of an administration which promises things it cannot deliver and then backs away from responsibility.

Safety of students gets top priority BY VICKI MILLER

I

f we need police officers in our schools (SROs), then we need to make sure they are equipped with the best tools possible to protect students and themselves. It is apparent that school officials and the public in general believe the SROs are vital in protecting the safety of our children. Being wellequipped would include carrying Tasers, which research has shown improves the likelihood of a safer resolution in violent situations. Guilford County Schools are as safe as they can be in light of our societal criminal issues. Staff and administrators are trained in ways to defuse potentially volatile situations, but the reality is our schools are a microcosm of what is happen-

ing in our community. Ninetynine percent of all students are law-abiding and respectful, but the other 1 percent are young people who are angry and bent on disrupting the learning environment – bringing into classrooms issues that often originate in the neighborhood. Ironically, many altercations are brought into the school because there will be an audience for the kid to gain some desired recognition from his/her peers. As a retired educator, I remain amazed that there is not a public outcry over a 15-year-old student threatening teachers and assaulting a SRO. In the past, a principal in Greensboro suffered a broken hip, and a principal in High Point went to

the hospital with a head injury after breaking up fights while trying to protect students. Unless you have been present at a school fight, confrontation or assault, it would be difficult for someone to imagine how violent and dangerous these events can be. Does it really matter where a violent outburst happens ... in a school, at the mall, in a movie theater, on the streets? Violence is everywhere, and we as a society are exposed to potentially violent events every day. We need the professional and swift protection our police and sheriff departments can provide – and if that means having a Taser at their disposal to quell a situation, then I for one am thankful for the foresight that provided the officer with this tool.

The public needs to know that every fight or confrontation, and the use of restraint or force is reported to the school district and the state to make sure proper procedures were used. The sheriff’s office and police departments also review each situation to evaluate the appropriateness of their officer’s response. Instead of casting such a critical eye on school and police officials, perhaps it is time for us as a community to demand and expect better accountability and behavior of students. Our children and teachers deserve a safe, orderly environment in which to teach and learn. Let’s continue to make sure they have safe schools.

CYBER MONDAY: How will online retailers fare? THIS WEEK

Smart shopping Be aware of fine print when buying those holiday gifts ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — As consumers load up their shopping bags and click through their favorite online stores, officials are warning consumers to be cautious during the post-Thanksgiving shopping rush. The New York Consum-

er Protection Board wants consumers to understand potentially costly offers like warranty coverage and financing and to beware of less-than-stellar deals on “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday.” The board warned shoppers can be duped into

spending more than they have to if they don’t understand all the terms and conditions of purchases, or if they don’t take the time to comparison shop. Mindy Bockstein, the board’s executive director, said some consumers can get tripped up by stingy refund rules and high shipping costs. Reading store policies at the register or online can help avoid the pitfalls. And consumers should

protect their personal information by shopping only on sites that have a secure connection and an adequate privacy policy. The board recommends extra care for certain purchases, such as gift cards and big-ticket items. It recommends reviewing the terms and conditions of gift certificates, and to watch for fees, expirations and diminished values if the card isn’t used. On expensive items

such as vehicles, or expensive electronics, shoppers should look for warranty coverage, stock availability and financing options. Such expensive products really merit a read of the fine print. Another thing to watch out for is layaway plans. The board recommends reading all of the contract terms carefully, especially details on payment schedules, refund policies and penalties.

Auto leasing makes a comeback of sorts NEW YORK (AP) — Auto leasing, temporarily crippled by the credit and financial crisis, is making a comeback this fall. Chrysler, Ford and General Motors all curtailed leasing operations last year when credit markets

locked up and soaring gasoline prices left them facing losses on the used SUVs and other gas-guzzlers that their financing arms sell when leases expire. Business isn’t nearly back to where it was before the crunch hit, when leases

comprised about 20 percent of all car transactions. But it is trending upward after hitting a high for the year of 12.8 percent in October, up from a bottom of 7.2 percent in August, according to automotive information site Edmunds.com.

The turnaround reflects both the slowly strengthening economy and a change in strategy by U.S. carmakers, whose sales suffered from the absence or limited availability of leasing. “The Big Three have quietly restarted their leasing

TIME TO ACCESSORIZE?

People you know have spent small fortunes on shiny new smart phones such as the iPhone 3GS, a BlackBerry or the Droid. But the devices still don’t have all the features they want. These holes can be filled by accessories that make for good gifts. Here’s some suggestions. • TomTom for iPhone Car Kit, $119.95: This new kit from TomTom Inc. makes the iPhone easier to use for in-car navigation. The kit includes a mount — allowing you to attach the phone to a window or the dashboard — and a car charger. In addition to this kit, your recipient would need a GPS application on the iPhone — TomTom sells one for $100, with no monthly fees. • Mophie Juice Pack Air for the iPhone, $79.95: It’s an iPhone case that just about doubles the life of the phone’s battery as well. The phone charges through a connection port embedded in the case. • Gorillamobile by Joby, $39.95 for iPhones, $29.95 for all other devices: Propping up your phone to take group photos or self portraits isn’t the easiest of tasks. Gorillamobile by Joby aims to solve that with a 6.5-inch malleable tripod whose legs wrap around the trickiest of terrains. • MoGo Talk, $129.95: In the category of “Why didn’t they think of this before?” MoGo Talk solves the annoying problem of having to scrounge around in your purse for your Bluetooth earpiece device when someone calls. MoGo Talk’s phone case (currently shipping for the iPhone but BlackBerry Curve and Javelin to come in the first quarter) has a Bluetooth device that fits snugly in the back — so it’s always attached to the phone. • AirCurve for the iPhone, $19.99: Griffin Technology’s speaker for the iPhone is acoustically designed to amplify sound even without power. The AirCurve’s gorgeous, clear polycarbonate case also serves as a stand for the iPhone with a slot at the bottom for the charging and synching cable.

Hedge fund industry may leave London LONDON (AP) — They’re getting nervous in Mayfair and Belgravia, London’s hedge fund heartlands. Luxury car dealerships, designer boutiques and high-end restaurants have thrived on money from the unregulated investment funds whose discreet offices sit behind the solid wooden doors of those neighborhoods’ elegant Georgian buildings. But now some funds are considering swap-

ping London for the less-regulated alpine air of Switzerland or the emerging markets of Asia as the European Union tightens oversight of high-flying hedge funds. Recent British tax hikes have also spurred funds to consider leaving the city that has long been Europe’s undisputed financial capital. “The mood music has gone very bad here,� said Julian Adams, chief executive of London-based

Adelante Asset Management Ltd. “It’s quite negative for business and for U.K. PLC.� The hedge fund industry is worth $250 billion ($377 billion) in Europe, and has boomed in recent years largely free of government regulation. The sector didn’t cause the global financial crisis, but it has caught the eye of European governments and regulators looking to clamp down on the excessive risk-taking that brought many West-

ern banks to the verge of collapse last year. European union proposals would require hedge funds and private equity funds to register in Europe and to inform regulators about their trades and strategy. EU lawmakers and governments also are suggesting that hedge fund managers be subject to the same kind of restrictions and bonuses currently being imposed on regular banks to limit rewards for shortterm success.

FedEx Ground opens Miami facility MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

PITTSBURGH —— FedEx Ground, the smallpackage ground delivery unit of FedEx Corp., recently celebrated the opening of a new distribution facility in Medley, Fla. The 217,015-squarefoot operation is double the size of the facility that it replaces, which also was located in Medley. The $59 million facility is part of an ongoing

national expansion plan and will provide processing rates of up to 15,000 packages per hour, additional load and unload doors, more scan tunnels and sorters - all of which will better serve the increasing customer base in the Miami-Dade county area. The facility supports a work force of more than 340 employees and independent contractors and expects to add approximately 50 temporary positions for the

holiday season. “Our new Miami facility is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to increase size, speed and efficiency of our network,� said Bob Holcombe, vice president of the southern division of FedEx Ground. “For shippers, the benefit is faster and more efficient movement of their packages through the FedEx Ground network.� In addition to the new Miami facility, FedEx

Ground has 14 facilities operating in Florida, with the most recent additions being an automated facility in Fort Lauderdale and a terminal in Sanford, which support workforces of more than 400 and 130 employees and independent contractors, respectively.

Stop being drained by a co-worker BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

Some people will tell you to avoid a co-worker who drains you. People with a psychological bent often suggest detaching. “That’s a pipedream,” comments librarian Gina Gallo of Sophie B. Wright Charter School Library in Lacombe, La. She also states that avoiding the person will create stress for you. “We don’t have the choice of disengaging,” remarks Raphael Lapin, president of Conflict Management Inc., in San Jose, where he consults worldwide with large organizations, including difficult individuals and teams. If you must work face-to-face, you need specific tactics to deal with them. Lapin, author of “Working With Difficult People” (DK Publishers, $8), maintains that difficult people are motivated by “the intent of dominating you. ... Unless you have a process of your own, you are likely to be drawn into playing the game their way.”

IDENTIFYING Recognizing behaviors that cause you to feel drained is a first step.

Gallo, who’s worked where teachers constantly complained, identifies them as people “who, when you say hello, can’t just chit-chat. They always have to bring you into their personal life or drama. This information is always horrible and it’s draining. They’re often people who bring their personal problems to work. Those unhappy with one aspect of their job let one thing kill the job.” Caroline Miller of Bethesda, Md.’s Caroline Miller Coaching L.L.C., coaches people to make their work environment as positive as possible. She says to watch for people who: • “don’t always have a smile on their face; • “use critical, contemptuous and cynical words; and • “treat other people with contempt, cynicism and eye-rolling.”

COUNTERACTING You have more alternatives than you think to keep a co-worker from draining you. Lapin remarks, “You have to deal with it and not allow it to continue.” For example, he advises people who blame other people to “engage them in prob-

an optimist. When someone complains, change the focus with, “You know, I’m having a great day. Maybe I can help.” She observes that people who drain other people aren’t focused on the work. Drawing them into it will compel them to redirect their thinking. She says that even small questions can be effective. If the bad news is that the person’s brother was fired, she advises turning that into something positive, such as, “Oh, your brother got fired? I am so sorry. Thank goodness we still have jobs.” Sometimes being subtle won’t change the focus. In that case, Gallo recommends, build a bridge to the work by saying, “Maybe we can talk about SPECIAL | WORKWISE FEATURES that later, but right now, Librarian Gina Gallo engages colleague Darryl Cook in conversation at Sophie B. I would like to give all of Wright Charter School Library in Lacombe, La. Her tips on handling draining co-work- my focus to this project.” If the person rambles, ers are exceptional. Lapin says to “interrupt, summarize their relevant some thought ... at least “Create more questions lem-solving to solve their points and then ask a where you put things out a few minutes. Think of own problem by saying, closed-ended question to yourself as a coach, not a that are more positive, ‘Let’s talk about ways to regain control.” judge.

END OF THE ROAD: Ragsdale reflects on stellar 13-1 football campaign. 2D

Pack kicks Tar Heels N.C. State tops UNC for third straight year RALEIGH (AP) – Even in a season gone awry, Russell Wilson and N.C. State still know how to beat North Carolina. Wilson threw four touchdown passes and Alan-Michael Cash blocked a field goal attempt with about 5 minutes left to help the Wolfpack rally past the 23rd-ranked Tar Heels 2827 on Saturday, ending a bowl-less season in the jubilant style that only a win against a nationally ranked rival can bring. Wilson connected twice with Owen Spencer for scores, including the goahead 38-yard touchdown two plays into the fourth quarter that gave the Wolfpack (5-7, 2-6 ACC) a third straight win against their next-door neighbors and fiercest football rivals. All three have come since Tom O’Brien took over shortly after the Tar Heels (8-4, 4-4) made their big splash by luring former Miami and NFL coach Butch Davis to Chapel Hill in late 2006. “It means a tremendous amount to this program,” O’Brien said. That should offer some solace to a program that expected it could contend for an ACC division title only to see everything go

AP

Appalachian State cornerback Dominique McDuffie (18) flips in the end zone after picking up a bad snap and returning it 50 yards for a touchdown against S.C. State in the fourth quarter on Saturday in Boone. The Mountaineers won 20-13 to advance to Saturday’s FCS quarterfinal showdown at Richmond, a 16-13 winner over Elon.

McDuffie, Mountaineers prevail fourth-and-1 from Appalachian State’s 15-yard line. But the Bulldogs (10-2) fumbled, McDuffie recovered and returned it for the winning score with 7:42 left to play. The Mountaineers only other touchdown came with 4:35 left in the second quarter on a 7-yard catch by Brian Quick from Armanti Edwards. Malcolm Long was 18 of 36 for 189 yards and a season-high three interceptions for the Bulldogs.

DURHAM (AP) – Riley Skinner knew he wouldn’t get a chance to sling passes in a bowl game, so he made the most of his throws in the regular-season finale. Skinner passed for a career-high 372 yards and a school-record five touchdowns to help Wake Forest defeat Duke 45-34 on Saturday. He completed 28 of 38 passes and did not throw an interception for the Demon Deacons (5-7, 3-5 ACC), who ended their season by snapping a fivegame losing streak. “It feels a lot better than anybody outside of our locker room can imagine,” said Skinner, who finished the year with single-season school records of 3,160 yards and 26 touchdown passes. “Just what we’ve gone through this year and the kind of games that we’ve had have been the toughest to lose.” Devon Brown caught a pair of touchdown passes

to help Wake Forest get its 10th consecutive win over Duke. Marshall Williams added eight Skinner catches for 119 yards and a touchdown for the Demon Deacons, who suffered five losses this season by three points or fewer. The victory allowed Wake Forest’s seniors, led by Skinner, to become the winningest senior class in school history. “We’ve wanted that for six games now,” said Skinner, whose group had been tied with the 2008 senior class with 32 wins since Oct. 10. “Unfortunately, we had to wait this long for it – but it’s worth it. “ Thaddeus Lewis passed for 387 yards, three touchdowns and an interception for the Blue Devils (5-7, 35), who ended the season on a four-game skid after starting 5-3.

ive weeks into the season, the San Diego Chargers appeared all zapped out. San Diego stood 2-3 and three back of Denver in the AFC West.

wrong. The defense was terrible all year, allowing 30 or more points in seven straight games to undermine an offense that returned an all-ACC quarterback in Wilson and averaged about 31 points. Much of those troubles began with injuries, starting with losing top linebacker Nate Irving for the season after he was injured in an offseason car wreck. Another 11 players went down with seasonending injuries. While playing North Carolina in a de facto bowl game was incentive enough, the Wolfpack also had the motivation of playing for offensive coordinator Dana Bible. The team learned earlier this week that Bible, who was not with the team for its final two games, had been diagnosed with leukemia and would be hospitalized for treatment for a month. Bible was clearly on Wilson’s mind afterward. He chucked the football into the stands in celebration, then remembered he wanted to send it to Bible. So team staffers sought out the fan who had the ball and got it AP back, though O’Brien said N.C. State’s Jarvis Williams (5) and Koyal George celebrate Williams’ touchdown as North he planned to send the fan Carolina’s Deunta Williams looks on during the first half of Saturday’s game in Raleigh. another ball to replace it. The Wolfpack rallied for a 28-27 victory, their third straight over the Tar Heels.

State 20-13 in the first round of the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs on Saturday. The Mountaineers (10-2), who defeated S.C.

TOP SCORES

Tomlinson, despite being slowed by a hip injury, rushed for five touchdowns in the last four games and shows signs of his trademark explosiveness. Philip Rivers and the offense are clicking. The defense held the Broncos to just a field goal in Sunday’s 32-3 rout. Barring a disaster of Irwin R. Allen proportions, the unbeaten Colts hold a lock on the AFC’s top playoff seed. But the Chargers are tied with New England and Cincinnati at 7-3 in the race for the

second seed, which brings a coveted firstround postseason bye. San Diego’s remaining schedule includes home games against the Chiefs, Bengals and Redskins and road games at Cleveland, Dallas and Tennessee. Four of those teams own losing records. The Chargers control their own destiny. Win out and they secure the second seed. That seemed an unlikely scenario five short weeks ago.

Carolina Panthers starting strongside linebacker Na’il Diggs is questionable for today’s game against the New York Jets. Diggs practiced on a limited basis Friday after sitting out two days with a rib injury. The Panthers have little depth at linebacker after losing Thomas Davis and Landon Johnson to season-ending knee injuries. Defensive end Charles Johnson (pectoral) is listed as doubtful, but said Monday he won’t play against the Jets. Running back Jonathan Stewart (Achilles’), defensive tackle Damione Lewis (shoulder) and fullback Brad Hoover (ankle) are questionable.

Despite defeat, Ragsdale remains close lost a conference game in three years. We’re proud of what we’ve done.� Much like the Colts, however, Ragsdale has also encountered a nemesis in the postseason that remains hard to escape. For the second year in a row, the Tigers were bounced by a Dudley team on pace to bag its third straight title. In the professional ranks, the New England Patriots have won three Super Bowls this decade and for years became the hump Indianapolis could not get over. Ragsdale is painfully aware of the frustration that comes from ending its season prematurely, but realizes the significance of how successful the program has become thanks to a tightly knit nucleus. “We’re really like brothers.

BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

GREENSBORO – The Ragsdale Tigers have built a stellar football tradition over the last decade. In surveying the high school football landscape, the type of winning consistency the Tigers have exhibited with immense class reminds at least one writer of the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts. Led throughout the 2000s by a regime characterized by integrity and a penchant for putting together consecutive winning seasons, the two programs produce eerie similarities. “You can’t say enough good things about our kids,� Ragsdale coach Tommy Norwood said. “They’ve won three straight conference championships; they’ve not

PITTSBURGH (AP) – Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is expected to miss tonight’s game at Baltimore because of a concussion. Persons familiar with Roethlisberger’s status spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity on Saturday because the team has not made an announcement. The development would force Dennis Dixon – who has thrown only one pass in two NFL seasons – to make his first NFL start in a game the Steelers might need to win to make the playoffs. Roethlisberger practiced all week despite sustaining his fourth concussion since 2006 during a 27-24 overtime loss in Kansas City on Sunday.

That’s why it’s so hard to lose, because you hurt as much for the person next to you as you do for yourself.� It is this unselfish mindset that has allowed Norwood and a community of devoted citizens to build such a tremendous culture surrounding the program in Jamestown. Although the veteran group that led Ragsdale to an outstanding 2009 season loses more than 20 members to graduation, the architect remains confident in the long-term future of his squad. “Quality kids, quality parents,� Norwood summarized. “I can’t say enough about them. (The seniors) will be hard to replace.�

Blocked kick lifts ECU past Southern Miss GREENVILLE (AP) – C.J. Wilson returned a blocked extra point for the tiebreaking defensive two-point conversion that lifted East Carolina past Southern Mississippi 2520 on Saturday and back into the Conference USA championship game. Patrick Pinkney was 25 of 41 passing for 269 yards and Dwayne Harris and defensive tackle Linval Joseph had scoring runs for the Pirates (8-4, 7-1). The defending league champions claimed homefield advantage for next week’s title game against either No. 25 Houston or SMU by beating the Golden Eagles (7-5, 6-2) in Greenville for the first time since 1994. Damion Fletcher finished with 60 yards rushing for Southern Miss, and his 3-yard touchdown pass to Leroy Banks made

it 20-all with 7:35 to play. But Wilson burst through the middle to block Daniel Hrapmann’s PAT, scooped it up near the 25-yard line and raced downfield while being escorted by a convoy of blockers to put the Pirates up 22-20. Ben Hartman made it a five-point game with his third field goal of the day, a 47-yarder with 4:37 remaining. Martevious Young couldn’t bring the Golden Eagles past midfield in both of their possessions after that, with Steve Spence sacking him on the final play of the game. Tory Harrison rushed 41 yards for a touchdown late in the third quarter, Young finished 20 of 44 for 262 yards with a score and DeAndre Brown had 145 yards receiving on seven catches for Southern Miss. The Golden Eagles, try-

FLORENCE, Ala. (AP) – The 10th-ranked Carson-Newman football team defeated fifthranked North Alabama 24-21 on Saturday afternoon in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II Playoffs at Braly Municipal Stadium. With the win, the Eagles (11-2) advance to the semifinals, where they

C-N quarterback Alex Good, who starred at Southern Guilford, rushed 19 times for 88 yards and completed 7of-15 passes for 98 yards with one interception. The win was the firstever for the Eagles in Braly Municipal Stadium. North Alabama finishes 11-2.

Tebow stars in home finale THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Tim Tebow’s final home game went about like everyone expected. There were tears, touchdowns and another thumping. Tebow threw for three TDs, ran for two scores and top-ranked Florida beat rival Florida State 37-10 Saturday for its sixth consecutive victory in the heated rivalry. The Gators stayed unbeaten heading into next week’s Southeastern Conference showdown against No. 2 Alabama, extended the nation’s longest winning streak to 22 games and improved to 120 for just the second time in school. Tebow may have even secured a third consecutive trip to New York for the Heisman Trophy presentation. The Seminoles (6-6) lost for the second time in six games, and longtime coach Bobby Bowden’s likely finale at Florida Field showed exactly why some FSU faithful are urging him to retire: Florida outplayed its in-state rival at every position. Bowden said after the game he had some soul-searching to do before he decided if he wanted to return for one another season. Tebow completed 17 of 21 passes for 221 yards. He also ran 15 times for 90 yards.

took a big early lead on the way to beating South Florida. Dedrick Epps and Leonard Hankerson caught touchdown passes for Miami (9-3), which ran out to a 21-3 halftime lead and capped its first ninewin regular season since 2005. A bowl victory would give Miami its first 10win season since 2003. Damien Berry rushed for 114 yards and Graig Cooper added 83 more for Miami, which played without ill left tackle Jason Fox and still rolled. A.J. Love caught a 12-yard TD pass for South Florida (7-4).

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Montel Harris ran for 142 yards, Dave Shinskie threw a 66-yard touchdown pass, and Boston College beat Maryland 19-17 Saturday to seal the Terrapins’ first 10loss season. Steve Aponavicius kicked four field goals for Boston College (8-4, 5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference). But the standout senior was wide right on a 31-yarder, ruining what had been a perfect season. Aponavicius made 37 straight conversions and was 12-for-12 on field goal tries before the third-quarter miss. He did secure the victory with a 42-yard field goal with 3:59 left – the Eagles’ only points of the second half. The Terrapins (2-10, 1-7) finished with seven straight losses and a school-record 10 defeats.

The Hokies (9-3, 6-2 ACC) won their sixth straight in the series and for the 10th time 11 meetings with the Cavaliers (3-9, 2-6). It was their eighth victory in nine games against Groh.

Unbeaten Colts face decade-long patsy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

For the first time since 1990 and the third time overall, the NFL has two 10-0 teams, the Colts and Saints. Even juicier, Indianapolis has won 19 in a row, two short of the league mark set by New England early last season. And even better – at least for the Colts – is their opponent today, the Houston Texans. To say Indy has owned Houston since the Texans were born in 2002 is like saying Peyton Manning ain’t a bad quarterback. The Colts are 14-1 against the Texans, and their victory earlier this month, 20-17, was typical: Manning and his mates made the big plays and Houston didn’t, including Kris Brown missing a 42-yard field goal as time expired. Can Indy sweep Houston within a three-week span? “It’s different. I don’t remember the last time we played a team this close to back to back,” Manning said. “They had a bye, so they’ll be fresh. We’re coming off two tough, emotional games, so it will be a challenge.” Maybe more of a challenge for the Texans, no? Like, say, climbing Everest? “It’s going to be a big test for us,” star receiver Andre Johnson said. “We played them close the last few times we’ve played them and hopefully Sunday we can get over the hump and get a win.” Also today – in an abbreviated schedule thanks to three Thanksgiving Day matchups – it’s Miami at Buffalo, Carolina at the New York Jets, Seattle at St. Louis, Tampa Bay at Atlanta, Cleveland at Cincinnati, Washington at Philadelphia, Chicago at Minnesota, Arizona at Tennessee, Kansas City at San Diego, Jacksonville at San Francisco, and Pittsburgh at Baltimore. On Monday night, New England is at New Orleans in the Patriots’ latest opportunity to spoil an unbeaten season.

strong outing against Cleveland’s lowest-rated D.

KANSAS CITY (3-7) AT SAN DIEGO (7-3) The Scott Pioli-Todd Haley program is taking root nicely in Kansas City, and last week’s stunner against Pittsburgh eventually might be looked upon as a turning point. To keep things going against the revved-up Chargers will be quite a challenge, though. San Diego has won five in a row, beginning with a 37-7 romp at Kansas City. The offense has been bolstered by a return to form from LaDainian Tomlinson, and a rugged defense is getting after quarterbacks and starting to pile up sacks, particularly from its linebackers.

PITTSBURGH (6-4) AT BALTIMORE (5-5) Usually a meeting at the top of the AFC North, both teams are thinking about staying viable in the wild-card chase right now. The banged-up Steelers have dropped two in a row, can’t hold leads without star safety Troy Polamalu, and have concerns at quarterback after Ben Roethlisberger sustained a concussion last Sunday and backup Charlie Batch broke his wrist. Baltimore is one of the bigger flops through 10 games as the offense has stagnated. The Ravens have outscored opponents 151-83 in second halves this season, but have not scored an offensive touchdown in the first half since Oct. 4.

WASHINGTON (3-7) AT PHILADELPHIA (6-4)

With so many regulars winding up on injured reserve, it’s a wonder the Redskins can move the ball at all. They are down to third-string RB Rock Cartwright, and their offensive line has been decimated. But the D has been dynamic at times, at least keeping Washington competitive. Philly is plus-8 in turnover margin to minus-5 for Washington, and the Eagles’ defense will be aggressive from NEW ENGLAND (7-3) AT NEW ORLEANS (10-0) the outset against an undermanned Although the Saints have a game offense.

In this Nov. 22 file photo, New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez reacts in frustration during the third quarter of a game against the New England Patriots in Foxborough, Mass. Jets coach Rex Ryan has installed a code system with Mark Sanchez in an attempt to cut down the rookie quarterback’s mistakes and provide him with a clearer idea of the tasks at hand. Ryan said the procedure should help Sanchez become a better game manager. The Jets play host to the Carolina Panthers today.

Panthers, Jets endure similar struggles EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) – The Carolina Panthers know exactly what the New York Jets are going through. Injuries, costly mistakes and inconsistent performances by key players have both teams sitting at 4-6 and barely alive in the playoff hunt. “Pride comes in,” Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith said. “How well do you want to do? What do you want to be looked at as? ” The Panthers come to the Meadowlands today and play for the first time in 10 days after a 24-17

loss to Miami on Nov. 19. They’ve still won three of their last four, and know a victory over the free-falling Jets could jump-start a late-season run. “You just never know,” quarterback Jake Delhomme said. “We’re going to play a Jets team that’s still a talented football team. They’ve just had a lot of hard-luck losses.” The Jets have struggled mightily after a 3-0 start, dropping six of seven under rookie coach Rex Ryan. “We just need a win and this is the perfect week to start,” quarter-

back Mark Sanchez said. That’s why Ryan decided this week to take a more active role in the offense in an attempt to cut out Sanchez’s mistakes. The rookie has thrown 16 interceptions, which rank second in the NFL, and his 61.1 quarterback rating is the lowest among current starters. Sanchez has also been blamed by some for single-handedly costing the Jets a few wins. “I think that with all quarterbacks, you’ve just got to play,” said Delhomme, who has 14 interceptions this season.

Bob’s ‘Bucket List’

I

lost a good friend this week. If you read my column regularly, you may remember the name of Bob Craft. Bob and I have known each other for years but we’ve been close friends since he called me after his wife, Joyce, died a few years ago. The phone message went, “I’m going crazy in this house alone, I know you’re fishing or hunting something. Call me and let’s do something.� Bob used to tell folks, “He took me fishing and I’ve followed him around ever since.� Bob loved it when I mentioned him in my column and I want to share a little more about him. I had the pleasure of taking Bob on his first surf-fishing trip. We took my truck down to Hatteras for a few days and smoked cigars. We went to Pop’s Raw Bar for oysters, and we even caught a few fish. Bob loved to tell folks about how we went to catch big drum and stripers but decided to catch a few blues for supper. He made it sound as though I could just decide to catch blues and suddenly they’d be in the water. I cooked the few small blues on the little stove in my camper, we ate them on the beach, and Bob proclaimed they were the best fish he’d ever eaten. Fact is, if I had a dollar for every time Bob said something was the best he’d ever had, I could probably afford to replace my rusty, green truck. I especially remember a $13 cheeseburger Bob had for lunch in Acapulco that was the best burger he’d ever eaten. I think that burger was so good because it cost so much. There were dozens of cups of coffee that received best ever status and many of the meals Cherie or I cooked for him were the best he’d ever had. He was a complimentary guy, but I also know he genuinely meant it. Even though Bob was 79 and had trouble walking, he loved to try something new and his desire to do things sometimes exceeded his body’s ability to handle the stress. That’s a good thing the way I see it. What’s the value of life if you’re

afraid to do the things you want to do? This is not to say he didn’t have a lot to bring to the table. Early in our friendship, Bob spent 91 days in the hospital. SPORTS During the early part of his stay, he Dick decided he wanted Jones a 101 Winchester ■■■shotgun. I found one on the web, the gun came and I picked it up. Bob got a really bad MERSA infection and I didn’t think he’d pull through, but he did. When he got out of the hospital, he tried his new gun. He broke eight clay targets with eight shots before he was too tired and had me put the gun up. A couple of weeks later, he finished that box of shells, shooting the rest of the box without missing a shot. Within the four years of our friendship, I took him fishing for catfish at night on the Yadkin River, shad and striper fishing on the Roanoke, duck hunting at a game preserve and on a farm pond, dove hunting, goose hunting. He did numerous pheasant tower shoots with me. He took his concealed carry class with me, tried his hand at riding a four wheeler, and we went to Acapulco for him to catch the “last sailfish of his life.� On the sailfish trip, he did catch an eight and a half foot sail, but took a couple of years off my life in the process. There’s no dockage at the harbor in Acapulco. There’s only a sea wall with small catwalks that allow you to board the fishing boats. The swells in the harbor amount to about two feet and I was terrified that Bob wouldn’t be able to make the jump from the catwalk to the boat. An old Navy man, Bob was nonplussed. I advised the captain that, if we dropped Bob, there would be no tip. It took two guys on the catwalk and two on the boat but we safely got him boarded. We put a life vest on him, and when the boat came up to

the level of the catwalk we shoved his considerable bulk into the hands of the guys on the boat and, as the boat went down, they helped him into the cockpit. Once we were on the boat, I spent a queasy day and Bob had a ball. He carried the photo of Cherie, him and me with that sailfish for months and showed it to everyone. Bob understood something a lot of us forget when we get older, life is for living. He understood he wasn’t going to live forever. Often, he told me, “I’m ready to go, I know where I’m going, every day’s a blessing, but I miss Joyce.� When we took my 14-year-old lab, Ernie, on a duck hunt, Bob was concerned about Ernie swimming out to get a duck at his advanced age. I explained that, if Ernie died on that retrieve, he would die doing what he loved. I remember Bob nodding quietly and later stroking Ernie lovingly while I took some photos. A few months later, Bob cried like a baby when I told him Ernie had died. On Thanksgiving Day, we found Bob in his home. He’d died suddenly, without the protracted exit I feared because of his numerous health problems. He spent this Thanksgiving this year in the protection of our Lord with his beloved Joyce. In a conversation with the emergency providers I stated that dying suddenly at 79 isn’t such a bad way to go. The EMT said, “I’d like to go like the guys in the movie, ‘Bucket List.’ � I remembered how that was one of Bob’s favorite movies. I smiled and told the EMT, “We’ve been doing Bob’s Bucket List for the last few years now. I’m just glad I could be a part.� So long old friend, I’ll see you on the other side.

WINDEMERE, Fla. (AP) – The Florida Highway Patrol says Tiger Woods and his wife, Elin, are not available to be interviewed by state troopers and asked police to return Sunday to try to clear up questions about how he crashed his SUV into a neighbor’s tree. FHP says the announcement that Woods and his wife could not speak to police on Saturday came from his agent. Troopers previously visited Woods’ home Friday afternoon to speak to him and were asked then to come back Saturday. Woods smashed his Cadillac near his $2.4 million mansion at 2:25 a.m. Friday and was briefly hospitalized, police said. His lips were cut, and Windermere police chief Daniel Saylor has said Woods’ wife used a golf club to get him out.

People touched by cancer find solace in knitting and crocheting BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – When Jo Moore’s husband died in December 2007, she found herself alone, frightened, aimless. “When Don died, I just fell apart,” the 70-year-old High Point woman recalls. “I don’t have any family here, and I didn’t know what to do. I was looking for something to get involved in.” Ironically, Moore found the answer in the same place Don had spent many of his final days – at the Cancer Center of High Point Regional Health System,

’It doesn’t matter if you’ve never picked up a knitting needle because we’ll teach you.’ Ellen Miller Cancer Resource Center where he received treatment for prostate cancer and lung cancer. The Cancer Center had begun hosting a knitting and crocheting group called Close-Knit, and Moore found the group to be just what she needed.

“I love to crochet, and this way I’m doing something to help me and hopefully help somebody else, too,” Moore explains. “It gives me something to look forward to, and it gives me a purpose.” Members of the CloseKnit knitting and crocheting group, all of whom have been touched by cancer in some way, meet weekly to make prayer shawls and chemo caps for local cancer patients. The group convenes for 90 minutes on Wednesday mornings in the Cancer Resource Center. Now, a second group – Stitches With Love – is forming, and organizers are recruiting new members. The group meets Tuesdays from 1 to 2:30 p.m., also in the Cancer Resource Center. “It’s not limited to just women, and it’s not limited to people who have gone through cancer treatment,” says Ellen Miller, customer service representative for the Cancer Resource Center, who initiated the two groups. “It’s open to anyone who has been touched by cancer – patients who are going through active treatment, cancer survivors, caregivers of cancer patients,

North Carolina forestry officials say people should use local firewood because evidence suggests that several treekilling insects are being carried into the region by people toting firewood from other states. The redbay ambrosia beetle, which transmits the destructive laurel wilt, and the gypsy moth have been discovered along the borders of North Carolina. Laurel wilt has been confirmed in northern South Carolina by state and federal forestry officials. The European gypsy moth has been found in some northeastern counties of our state. The insects, known as nonnative invasive species, are making their way across state borders in a number of ways but the biggest culprit is firewood, forestry officials say. The gypsy moth lays egg masses on firewood. Other invasive insects, including the redbay ambrosia beetle, the emerald ash borer, Sirex woodwasp, and the Asian longhorned beetle, can complete their life cycle within the firewood and emerge as adults at a new location. Invasive pathogens can also be present on firewood and produce spores that infect and kill oaks. North Carolina residents and visitors should use local firewood that comes from within a 50 miles radius of where it was cut. To learn more, go to www.dontmovefirewood. org/ or http://dfr. nc.gov. For more information, call Brian R. Haines, public information officer with the N.C. Division of Forest Resources, at (919) 857-4828.

We have always had a strictly platonic friendship. Gavin is married to a wonderful woman, “Evie,” who is also a friend of mine. Until recently, Gavin and Evie took frequent trips on his touring motorcycle. But because of a physical disability, Evie can no longer ride with him. Gavin’s police department recently held a charity motorcycle ride to a state landmark two hours away. Evie suggested I might enjoy going along and experiencing what a ride is like. I did, and had a wonderful time. Since then, I have learned that several people have been spreading rumors that Gavin and I are having an affair because I was seen on the motorcycle with him.

Holiday travelers waiting longer to book flights MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Holiday travelers waited a little longer to book their flights this year, likely holding out for better deals and waiting to see if they would still have a job. And some aren’t going at all. Travelocity reports that the average advance purchase fell to 55 days for Thanksgiving travel this year. That’s 2.6 days later than last year’s average. People flying in late December – around Christmas – waited to buy until 88 days in advance, down from 96 days last year, for domestic trips. For international trips, the average purchase was made 7.5 days later, or 110 days in advance. Travelers have been watching fares fall all year and may have bet they’d get a better deal by waiting. Airlines have tried to raise fares by tacking on $20 surcharges for

peak days around Thanksgiving and Christmas. However, some carriers ran sales that included the holiday travel periods, said Henry Harteveldt, an analyst who tracks travel at Forrester Research in San Francisco. He said many of the hotels they survey report getting 20 percent or more of their bookings within a week of the arrival date. Travelers “just want to make sure with full confidence that they’ll have the money to spend and that the price is right,” Harteveldt said. “Until we see meaningful improvement in the economy – jobs coming back, wages going up – the consumer is going to be very, very hesitant in buying any discretionary item.” Travelocity said average domestic airfares fell 7 percent from a year ago, to $398 for departures between Dec. 20 and Jan. 3. International fares fell 11 percent to $793.

For hotel stays during that period, domestic rates averaged $172 per night, down 9 percent from last year. International hotel rates fell 8 percent to $221. Maritz Research estimated that almost 1.6 million fewer people would travel during the holiday season. Its phone poll conducted between Oct. 15 and 21 found that about 23 percent of people plan to travel, down from 27 percent in 2005. Why are people staying home? Financial concerns kept 31 percent home, while swine flu worries were a factor for another 14 percent. Another 14 percent said they or someone in their household had lost a job within the past year, according to Maritz. Consumers planned to spend about $854 each on their trips, down from $1,251 in 2005, according to Maritz.

Kitty’s mouth constitutes a hot zone for problems

Your question is one that stirs up a lot of controversy. I’ll give you the views of some experts. The American Cancer Society says there is no age limit for having mammograms. HEALTH The society urges Dr. Paul women who Donohue are in good ■■■health to get an annual mammogram regardless of age. The United States Preventive Services Task Force, a panel of respected scientists, tells women to continue with mammograms at older ages, either annually or every two years, as long as their life expectancy is not shortened by another serious illness. The American Geriatric Society encourages women to have a mammogram every two or three years past age 75. Other doctors feel that 80 is a reasonable age to stop having mammograms. Their opinion is that breast cancer at older ages grows slowly, and subjecting women to continued mammograms burdens them with the possibility of enduring further procedures if the mammogram shows questionable findings. I side with those who opt to continue mammograms regardless of age if the woman is in good health. Should you feel strongly about having one done, tell your doctor. If he won’t allow it, see another doctor. Mammograms have done much to decrease deaths from breast cancer. Dear Dr. Donohue: I’ve just been diagnosed with high blood pressure (145/95). I am trying to find a medicine that agrees with me. I am currently trying my third medicine. One made me cough. The last two made me drowsy. Is there a new drug that’s better than the old standards? – B.C. How about trying to lower your pressure without medicines? Cut back on salt. The biggest portion of dietary salt comes from commercial foods – things such as soups, frozen dinners, luncheon meats and many others. You have to read labels carefully, looking for sodium or salt. They’re the same thing. Exercise daily. Lose weight. Increase the amount of calcium (low-fat dairy products) and potassium in your diet. More than 31 bloodpressure medicines are on the market. If going the nonmedicine route doesn’t lower your pressure, you still have 28 medicines to try. You want a medicine with a modest cost and few side effects. Often a diuretic (water pill) can bring pressure to lower levels without an exorbitant expense and prohibitive side effects. The newest blood pressure drug is Tekturna (aliskiren). New drugs are always expensive. This drug should be saved for people who have gotten nowhere with the 31 older drugs.

D

ear Dr. Fox: I have a 5-year-old male cat. When he was about 1-year-old, his mouth smelled terrible, and his gums turned bright red. We took him to a cat dentist who recommended we remove his teeth. All teeth were removed except the front teeth. The removal didn’t help the situation. He still has sore gums, which makes it painful for him to eat, yawn, clean himself, or even relax. My vet has been giving him a cortisone shot every three months for the past four years. The shot used to work for an entire three-month period, and then it lasted two-and-a-half months, two months – now it only works for two weeks. But my poor cat can’t get the shot again until the three-month period is up. My vet said it would be bad for his kidneys if he gets it too often. Plus, the shot doesn’t even work for him anymore. We can’t figure out why his gums do this. The gums start turning red in the back, and the redness works its way to the front. My vet doesn’t think pulling the front teeth will help. It’s as though his body is rejecting his own gums, according to the vet. Is there anything you can suggest that may help my poor cat? In between shots, I give him Metacam to relieve the pain. – D.T., Monroe, Conn. Dear D.T.: Your veterinarian

is correct: Your cat’s serious disease has an autoimmune component, but the removal of all teeth is questionable. ANIMAL First, do not give your cat DOCTOR more vaccinations or anti-flea Dr. Michael drugs. Avoid all Fox gluten-contain■■■ing food ingredients such as corn and wheat. Try transitioning to a wholefood, ideally raw-food diet. Load your cat up with natural anti-inflammatory supplements such as fish oil and skullcap herb; and super-antioxidants such as Vitamin C and bioflavonoids, CoQ10, zinc, selenium and N-acetylcysteine, along with amino acids L-carnitine, folic acid and taurine. Discuss these options with your veterinarian who can advise you on sources and doses. I would also encourage you to try PetzLife oral-care products and consider applying aloevera gel, propolis and sangre de drago to the cat’s gums twice daily. Dear Dr. Fox: We have two granddogs, both Lhasapoos and both belonging to different members of the family. They usually visit us at separate times, and the first thing they each do when they get here is bark to be put on my bed,

where they roll around on my husband’s pillow. They seem to snuggle into it, lie on it for a bit, and then they jump off and are onto other things. They do this at various times during weekend visits with us. I wash the bedding after each visit. My pillow is next to my husband’s, but they’ll have nothing to do with mine. My question is: “Why only his pillow?� After staying over at our daughters’ houses, they will do the same to the pillow my husband used. – B.S., Fort Ripley, Minn. Dear B.S.: Having researched canine behavior, my educated guess is that the dogs like the scent or pheromone from your husband’s scalp. They enjoy it so much while on his pillow that a kind of “olfactory bonding� occurs. Rubbing on the pillow puts their scent there and at the same time gets your husband’s scent on them. Human-scalp scents are quite distinctive, in part influenced by age, diet, sex hormones and age. Note how parents cuddling their infants instinctively sniff their scalps. This is one reason why I advise people (especially awayat-college students) to send a well-worn cap or an unlaundered T-shirt home for the dog or cat to sniff and lie on as a way to alleviate separation anxiety. I should add that it might be better still to rub the shirt in one’s scalp first; then put it in a plastic bag for mailing.

Do not shampoo before this. An alternative, on the basis of what your dogs are enjoying, might be to send a well-used pillowcase.

St. Bart’s: Caribbean jewel boasts food, fashion S

T. JEAN, St. Barthelemy – Wheels up at the island of St. Maarten and we skim across the waters of the French West Indies to St. Barthelemy – a tiny Caribbean jewel for Francophiles, foodies and fashionistas. The island is a haven for the chic and the hip. Cutoffs rarely meet the dress code, unless they’re designed as such and topped off by a fabulously sexy top – for men or women. St. Barthelemy has a couple of pet names. Americans tend to say St. Bart’s, while the Francophiles declare the nickname is St. Barth, though still prounonced “bart.” The capital is Gustavia, a port town resembling a Mediterranean village with stucco buildings and colorful decor. The world’s top designer boutiques, including Hermes and Roberto Cavalli, line the streets, along with a myriad of restaurants and cafes. The second major community on this dot in the ocean is St. Jean, also a shopper’s paradise with elegant hotels and inns on the beach and nestled in the mountains just above the commercial area. The language is French, the atmosphere refined and laid back and the currency is the euro on this island that’s far more European than it is Caribbean. Typically, you fly to St. Bart’s via nearby St. Maarten, the Dutch side of an island that’s shared with the French St. Martin. On the beach at St. Jean, topless is de rigueur, though not mandatory. No worries if you don’t have the perfect magazine-cover figure; you see all ages and shapes enjoying the sun, pure white sand and turquoise sea, sans swimsuit top. For guests of the worldclass Eden Rock hotel, ice buckets with your

ST. BARTHELEMY: www. st-barths.com/ GETTING THERE: Regular air service is offered to St. Bart’s from St. Maarten and a few other Caribbean airports. Flights to St. Bart’s are famous for the harrowing landing on an extremely short runway that ends abruptly at the edge of the water. Ferries from St. Maarten are also available. Travel options are described at www. st-barths.com/guidepgs/ gettingto.html.

beverage of choice (usually Perrier and Evian) along with a petite brochette of pineapple, blueberry, watermelon and cantaloupe, are brought to you in your personal lounge chair at midday by servers who could grace any modeling runway.

Shoppers who shyly ask whether an item is made in China are sweetly told that such merchandise is not found on St. Bart’s. Instead, the boutiques are filled with clothing and accessories that come mostly from France and Italy, though Portugal and Romania appear on labels from time to time. In addition to the top

designers, you’ll find lesser known manufacturers that are still stylish in their lines and fabrics, including orange cobra and suede handbags by Claudio Merazzi, Loona Cantare cotton tank tops, Hartford Moroccan linen trousers and linen/cotton skirts by Interfashion SPA from Rimini, Italy. Even the beach towels are finished with a French jacquard design. St. Bart’s also has a cottage industry that produces fashion items that are trendy as well as practical for the island’s uneven sidewalks. Flipflops with bronze leather straps, decorated with turquoise, amber and gold stones have rubber soles. Belts meant to be slung low on a skirt come in deep brown leathers, decorated with tortoise shell and gold beads. Accommodations include the boutique Hotel Le Village St. Jean, perched on the mountainside of the town. Just below and on the beach is the exquisite

Eden Rock, with Bulgari amenities, high-tech Euro decor and imported linens. Practically next door is the famous chain-brand Nikki Beach, whose trademark is a Euro rock lifestyle, where white outfits rule the day and the evening. St. Bart’s also is a great place to practice your French. Most people speak English as well, but prefer French and are delighted to help visitors struggle through their explanations en francais. Spanish also is spoken, but this really is a place for Francophiles in every sense of the word. Ethnic restaurants, whether Italian or Asian, have the distinctly French flair. You’ll also find butcher shops with French cuts of meat, vegetable markets, pastry shops and grocery store shelves stocked with canned goods from France.

If you can tear yourself away from the beaches, the restaurants and the boutiques, take a stroll up some of the mountainous side streets. You’ll see a goat here and there and hear roosters crowing throughout much of the day. A chartreuse parrot also might approach you for a chat. Just say, “Bonjour! Ca va?” What you won’t see is a sprawling golf course. Not one. There is, however, an equestrian center, and there are excursions you can take by boat. Hotels offer packages that often include a car. With driving on the right and roads generally in good shape, tooling around St. Bart’s is an uncomplicated diversion when you’re shopped out and seeking new adventures. Grand hotels such as Le Toiny and Isle de France may be off the beaten path but are worth visiting.

Amtrak Auto Train moves people and cars BY JESSICA GRESKO ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

IF YOU GO...

BOARD AMTRAK AUTO TRAIN 52 TO WASHINGTON – All aboard on this train doesn’t mean just people. It means minivans, cars and motorcycles, too. To board you have to be packing some serious luggage: every traveler must also be transporting a vehicle. Amtrak’s Auto Train, the only one like it in the nation, has only two stops: one near Orlando, Fla., and the other in Virginia near Washington, D.C. For more than 25 years it has carried vacationers and their vehicles, and a new $10 million station expected to open in Florida in 2010 may mean even more passengers. I caught the train at its Florida stop in Sanford, about 28 miles from Orlando. After handing over the keys to my 1996 Volvo, I watched as Amtrak employees attached a magnetic number to its side and drove it on to a special carcarrier, a bi-level car without windows. Then it was my turn. “You’re in the adult car tonight,” the ticket agent told me. “Is there a children’s car?” I asked. The agent mumbled some-

AMTRAK AUTO TRAIN: http:// tickets.amtrak.com/itd/amtrak/ autotrain. Daily departures and arrivals in Lorton, Va., and Sanford, Fla., at 4 p.m. with arrival the next day at 9:30 a.m. Coach seats for passengers range from $93 to $228, dething about just getting off the Teacups. I took a look around the station. There was a girl hugging a raccoon-sized Donald Duck, a man with Mickey-shaped holes in his Crocs, and a girl in a purple dress with Tinker Bell on the front, sitting beside a Cinderella pillow and drinking from a Cinderella sippy cup. For a good part of the year this is the Magic Kingdom Express – a way for families from the Northeast to visit Disney World and bypass what can be a 900mile drive. But the train isn’t just for families. It’s also for snowbirds escaping to Florida for the winter, for college students vacationing or visiting grandparents, and for the recently-out-of-college set using it to move to, or from, Florida and points north. Some 238,000 people used the train last

pending on timing; a spot for the vehicle costs $152 to $304. Compartments with beds and bathrooms are more. For busy months of April, July and August, and October-December, Amtrak recommends booking four to six months ahead. year. Each train carries up to 600 people and a crew of about 30; Amtrak says it’s the longest passenger train in the world. With planning, fares can be reasonable. Coach seats for passengers range from $93 to $228, depending on timing, and a spot for the vehicle costs $152 to $304. For families who want to spend a little more, the train has compartments with seats that fold into beds and others with a private bathroom. The train’s busiest months are April, July and August, and October through December. That’s when Amtrak recommends booking four to six months in advance. I had a seat in coach, on the upper level of the two-level train. The seat was a little wider than on an airplane, but the windows are bus-sized, and the legroom is better. With my legs sticking straight out, I could

just reach the seat in front of me. I was lucky to snag a seat without a neighbor. As I settled in in Florida, another train was readying near Washington. One northbound and one southbound train leave every day at 4 p.m. from their respective stations. If all goes according to plan, they pass each other about halfway through the 17-plus-hour trip, sometime after midnight in South Carolina. Arrival is around 9:30 a.m. The rest of the journey is regimented, too: with set times for a movie and meal services. Dinner is served in the dining car at 5 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.; you pick the time at boarding, but my train wasn’t full, so if I wanted to eat earlier it wouldn’t have been a problem. The coach menu, meanwhile, is better than what you used to get when airlines regularly served meals, and it comes with wine, though it’s served in a plastic glass (first class gets the real thing). Kids can order choo-choo chewies (chicken tenders), but many travelers with children come toting coolers. Talking with the stewards and stewardesses in the dining car is worth the trip on its own. When I arrived for the late dinner service, one stewardess told

a story about the time a gerbil got loose on the train (there’s a no pets rule, but some people don’t listen). And when I asked another where we were, he told me “Woodside” – short for “woods on both sides” and the fact that he didn’t know. My dinner companions – a biochemistry major and a traffic controller at Andrews Air Force Base – were experienced Auto Train travelers. They recommend booking early and trying to snag an inexpensive private room. They also panned the movie that was playing on builtin TVs in the lounge car, where there are diner-like booths and free snack mix. Lights out time was just after the last dinner service. I slept, but not well. Breakfast was already set up in the dining car: orange juice, bagels and cereal from plastic cartons. We arrived at the station in Lorton, Va., about 30 minutes outside Washington, and, after waiting for about an hour, Amtrak finally called the number that had been attached to my car in Florida: 197. With my keys back in hand, I headed to Washington, thinking it felt good to be in the driver’s seat again. Then, of course, I hit traffic.

The sense of camaraderie the members enjoy is also fulfilling, as they form friendships that typically begin because of their common bond – cancer. “What we’ve found is the more the hands go, so does the mouth,” Miller says, “and before you know it, you’re learning that ‘My sister and my mom had cancer’ or ‘I’m a breast cancer survivor.’ It’s been a blessing for these women. And you’ll even hear laughter in the Cancer Center, which is something that normally you don’t come in here expecting. They have a great time.” Fran Swan, a two-year breast cancer survivor, says the knitting group has given her an opportunity to give back. “When I was diagnosed, I told my husband I felt like I had entered the world of kindness, because everyone was so kind – it was unbelievable,” the 67-year-old High Point woman says. “So I wanted to give something back, and it’s been absolutely wonderful.” Swan has even involved other family members who live out of state. Her 88-year-old mother, who lives in upstate New York, knits prayer shawls. Her 87-year-old aunt, also of New York, crocheted a dozen ornaments for the LoveLine

ceremony. Her sister, of Florida, makes chemo caps, and her teenage niece in Atlanta made 50 small pillows for chemo patients. She also has a friend in Texas – another breast cancer survivor – knitting for the group. Swan says the group has been a true blessing for her. “One of the great things about this group is that my path would never have crossed with any of these ladies otherwise,” she says. “We’re all different, but cancer has touched each of us somehow. It’s very supportive being here, but it’s also fun. We’re here because we want to be here, and we all feel like we’re doing something worthwhile.”

family members of cancer patients.” The group is open to beginners and more advanced knitters and crocheters. “It doesn’t matter if you’ve never picked up a knitting needle,” Miller says, “because we’ll teach you.” Members knit mostly prayer shawls and chemo caps for inpatients at the Cancer Center. They also have made dozens of crocheted ornaments for the health system’s annual LoveLine tree-lighting ceremony next month; the ornaments will be given to family members who have lost a loved one to cancer this past year. The prayer shawls, in particular, seem to have a positive impact on cancer patients, according to Miller. Each shawl includes an attached message that reads, “May the Great Healer’s grace be upon this shawl, / May it surround you with security and well-being. / May you be cradled in hope, kept in joy, / Graced with peace, and wrapped in love.” “The most fun is not only taking the shawls to the patients, but also when you see a patient being discharged and they’re wrapped in their shawl, or when you get a thank-you note and you learn how it touched someone,” Miller says. “It’s very fulfilling.”

Most put pets on Christmas list LOS ANGELES (AP) – Dogs across the country can expect some boneshaped presents under the Christmas tree this year. An Associated Press-Petside.com poll shows 52 percent of pet owners plan to buy their animals a holiday gift – up from 43 percent last year. Gus and Molly, a pair of German shepherds, Rosie the bulldog and Zoe the cat will get treats and playtoys, “the good sturdy stuff,� said owner Norm Authier, 50, of Long Beach. “We have always done this. We don’t have any kids so we spoil our dogs,� Authier said. The bounce in pet gifts is expected despite the fact that fully 93 percent of Americans say they’ll spend less overall or about the same as last year, according to a separate Associated PressGfK poll. The AP-Petside.com poll found that six in 10 of those who own only dogs planned on shopping for their pet for the holidays. Forty percent of those with only cats planned to pet shop.

ADVICE 8E www.hpe.com SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2009 THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE

Sometimes, learning responsibility isn’t easy

Dr. Dobson: One important objective during the preadolescent period is to teach the child that actions have inevitable consequences. One of the most serious casualties in a permissive society is the failure to connect those two factors, behavior and consequences. A 3-year-old child screams insults at his mother, but Mom stands blinking her eyes in confusion. A firstgrader defies his teacher, but the school makes allowances for his age and takes no action. A 10year-old is caught stealing candy in a store but is released to the recognizance of her parents. A 15-year-old sneaks the keys to the family car, but her father pays the fine when she is arrested. A 17-year-old drives his Chevy like a maniac, and his parents pay for the repairs when he wraps it around a telephone pole. All through childhood, loving parents seem determined to intervene between behavior and consequences, breaking the connection and preventing the valuable learning that could and should have occurred. Thus, it is possible for a young man or woman to enter adult life not really knowing that life bites – that every move we make directly affects our future – and that irresponsible behavior eventually produces sorrow and pain. Such a person secures his first job and arrives late for work three times during the first week. Later, when he is fired in a flurry of hot words, he becomes bitter and frustrated. It

was the first time in his life that Mom and Dad couldn’t come running to FOCUS rescue him from the ON THE unpleasFAMILY ant consequences. Dr. James (UnfortuDobson nately,many ■■■ American parents still try to bail out the grown children even when they are in their twenties and live away from home.) What is the result? This overprotection produces emotional cripples who often develop lasting characteristics of dependency and a kind of perpetual adolescence. How does one connect behavior with consequences? By being willing to let the child experience a reasonable amount of pain or inconvenience when he behaves irresponsibly. When Jack misses the school bus through his own dawdling, let him walk a mile or two and enter school in midmorning (unless safety factors prevent this). If Janie carelessly loses her lunch money, let her skip a meal. Obviously, it is possible to carry this principle too far, being harsh and inflexible with an immature child. But the best approach is to expect boys and girls to carry the responsibility that is appropriate for their age and occasionally to taste the bitter fruit that irresponsibility bears. In so doing, behavior is wedded to consequences, just like in real life. Question: At what age should discipline begin? Dr. Dobson: There should be no physical

punishment for a child younger than fifteen to eighteen months old, regardless of the circumstance. An infant is incapable of comprehending his or her “offense” or associating it with the resulting consequences. Some parents do not agree and find themselves “swatting” a baby for wiggling while being diapered or for crying in the midnight hours. This is a terrible mistake. Other parents will shake a child violently when they are frustrated or irritated by incessant crying. Let me warn those mothers and fathers of the dangers of that punishing response. Shaking an infant can cause serious neurological damage, which can occur as the brain is slammed against the skull. Do not risk any kind of injury with a baby! Especially during the first year, a youngster needs to be held, loved and calmed by a soothing human voice. He should be fed when hungry and kept clean and dry and warm. The foundation for emotional and physical health is laid during this twelve-month period, which should be characterized by security, affection and warmth.

Grief of war Deadly month in Afghanistan rippled across country BY SHARON COHEN AP NATIONAL WRITER

Every afternoon, seven days a week, Ed Epley has a 5 p.m. appointment with the war. He pulls a protest sign from his maroon 1961 Volkswagen van and joins a one-hour peace vigil at the Benton County courthouse in Corvallis, Ore. Epley has been doing this, day in and day out, since the U.S. launched its first air strikes on Afghanistan on Oct. 7, 2001. “I really don’t look at it as a job, it’s just part of the daily task of being a citizen,” says the 73-yearold retiree. More than eight years later, this small, 365-daya-year vigil may seem quixotic. But it stands apart for another reason: It has kept a steadfast focus on the war. Even though hundreds of thousands of troops have served, even though more than 800 members of the military have died, the marathon war in Afghanistan has, for long stretches, been off the nation’s radar. But one terrible month changed all that. A record number of deaths in October forced the nation to take new notice of Afghanistan as debate raged over whether President Barack Obama should send tens of thou-

the dignity and honor as best we can.” The last soldier carried off was Sgt. Dale Griffin of Terre Haute, Ind. (His family was the only one that allowed the media to photograph the return.) At the bottom of the ramp, the president offered a crisp salute.

sands more troops there. The deaths of 62 Americans — including three federal agents — in ambushes, roadside bombs and helicopter crashes turned a spotlight on an often overlooked reality: The war is forever shaping lives here. In these 31 days, the war rippled across America. IN AFGHANISTAN, AN AMBUSH ... The attack was quick and brazen. With guns, rocket-propelled grenades and mortar shells, hundreds of insurgents stormed a remote U.S.-Afghan outpost deep in the mountains of northeast Afghanistan. They attacked simultaneously from three sides — a mosque, buildings and a perch on high ground in the Kamdesh district. The fighting at Combat Outpost Keating lasted almost six hours. When the deadliest battle in more than a year was over, scores of insurgents were dead, but so were eight Americans and three Afghan soldiers; 24 other Americans were among the injured. The dead Americans were based at Fort Carson, Colo., members of the Fourth Brigade Combat Team, which already has suffered staggering losses in Iraq. What happened that first Saturday in October was soon felt in homes from Applegate, Calif., to Kincheloe, Mich., to Lovettsville, Va. By time October was over, the losses would expand to 28 states. IN NEW JERSEY, A ROLL CALL ... In the quiet of his office at Temple Emanu-El

A senior Pentagon official says that preventing roadside bombs from killing troops has proven to be tougher in Afghanistan than in Iraq because of the austere conditions there. Ashton Carter, the Defense Department’s chief weapons buyer, told reporters that “we are just beginning to get set in Afghanistan ... in doing everything that we can” because the country is so remote and lacks infrastructure. Carter and Lt. Gen. Jay Paxton Jr. are leading a new task force focused on diffusing “improvised explosive devices.” A Pentagon IED office already exists, although critics say that bureaucratic hurdles have prevented it from being as effective as possible. Carter says his new job in the next six months is to “do the blocking and tackling” needed to find solutions to the problem.

Volunteers in North Attleboro, Mass., tying yellow ribbons around a flag pole Oct. 29 in memory of Kyle Van De Giesen, a North Attleboro High School graduate who died in Afghanistan when the helicopter he was piloting crashed. in Westfield, N.J., Rabbi Douglas Sagal devotes part of each Friday afternoon to the war. Using a Department of Defense Web site, he gathers a weekly list of those who died in Afghanistan and Iraq and reads their names at Friday night services just before the Kaddish, the prayer for the dead. “It came out of my belief that really the great sin of our time, maybe the great sin of our generation is we send people to war and we insist on living our lives as if nothing is happening,” he says. “I made a promise to myself that we are going to know the names of those who have died in the service of our country.” IN DELAWARE, A SALUTE ... Inside the cavernous C17 transport plane, Capt. Pete Hudlow had a solemn — and unforgettable — glimpse of the cost of war. On a chilly pre-dawn morning in late October,

the Air Force captain was part of an extraordinary scene that unfolded in the darkness at Air Force Mortuary at Dover Air Force Base. The president had arrived to honor 18 of the war dead being returned home. As much of the nation slept, Hudlow, a 40-yearold captain from Tinker Air Force Base (he’s on temporary assignment) walked through the cargo area, verified the identifications, checked on the American flags covering the metal transfer cases and made sure all were in the proper order to be removed. Then, honor guard teams escorted the fallen off the plane. “It’s a somber thing when it’s one of the fallen,” he adds. “But it’s a little bit more emotional when you walk go into the aircraft, it has no cargo, and on the floor there are 20-something cases. ... It’s humbling. It’s got some sadness. “We do what we’re tasked to do. We give them

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

IN CONNECTICUT, A TRIBUTE ... Capt. Benjamin Sklaver’s contributions reached halfway around the world. Though he was just 32, the Army reservist already had launched his own nonprofit clean water organization, worked on refugee health issues for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and built wells in Uganda, where one villager dubbed him “Moses Ben.” The rabbi at his funeral called Sklaver “a warrior for peace.” Sklaver, killed Oct. 2 by a suicide bomber, founded the ClearWater Initiative after returning from service in 2007 in northern Uganda. As part of a civil affairs unit there, he helped bring clean water to villages, building wells and creating protected springs in area where pregnant women and children suffered from dysentery and malaria. “He believed in simple solutions,” says David Abraham, his graduate school roommate. Friends say Sklaver was trying to meet with local leaders outside Kandahar when he was killed. “He would tell me it was a dangerous place but he said, ‘We’re making progress. We’ll get there,”’ Abraham says.

The space shuttle Atlantis lifts off from pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla., Nov. 16. The complexity of the reusable spacecraft inspired one of the questions in this edition of “Ask AP,” a weekly Q&A column where AP journalists respond to readers’ questions about the news.

Questions involve space shuttle complexity, credit unions’ solvency A space shuttle is no tinker toy. But is it the most complex machine ever built? Curiosity about the complexity of the reusable spacecraft inspired one of the questions in this edition of “Ask AP,” a weekly Q&A column where AP journalists respond to readers’ questions about the news. And that particular question led NASA to rethink the way it describes the shuttle program. If you have your own news-related question that you’d like to see answered by an AP reporter or editor, send it to newsquestions@ap.org, with “Ask AP” in the subject line.

covered up to $250,000. Credit unions are cooperatives that are owned by their members. Twenty-three credit unions have failed so far this year, compared with 18 in 2008, and failures are expected to increase again next year. In March, the NCUA seized control of two large corporate credit unions in Kansas and California that provide wholesale financing for “regular” credit unions — a move the agency said was needed to stabilize the credit union system. The NCUA last December made more than $40 billion available to support several corporate credit unions with new borrowing from the Treasury Department and provided another $2 billion to help struggling homeowners. The NCUA says most credit unions are vibrant despite the deep recession and its financial condition is strong. Marcy Gordon AP Business Writer Washington

Government targets ‘Internet cafes’ BY MATT SHAW MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

WILSON – Wilson city officials agreed earlier this month to halt new businesses that have been operating here for months like mini-casinos. City Council called for a 60-day moratorium on new “Internet cafes,” a term that has come to include gaming institutions where people play sweepstakes games with the chance of winning cash prizes. By January, council plans to approve new rules to regulate the busi-

nesses. The four existing cafes would likely be required to comply later that year. The public hearing did not lure any citizens or the owners of the existing businesses. Planning Director Rodger Lentz called Internet sweepstakes “a new idea that has created some problems. ... I’ve had more calls about it in eight weeks than I have had about anything in the years I’ve been here.” The concept, which allows people to rent computers with the possibility of winning prizes including cash, has exploded

across North Carolina this year after a Guilford County judge ruled last December the games were legal. Since July, four sweepstakes centers have opened in Wilson, including two CyberLink Cafes owned by the same person and located across Raleigh Road Parkway from each other. The other two are on Ward Boulevard and Forest Hills Road. Councilman James Johnson III called the sweepstakes machines “gambling, no different from video poker machines.”

Biotechnology benefits farmers BY STEPHANIE CREECH MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

WILSON – When thenGov. Jim Hunt created the N.C. Biotechnology Center 25 years ago, most of the efforts were focused on developing products related to pharmaceuticals. But the focus is changing to include develop-

ment in several different areas – speciality crops, aquaculture and biofuels – where the state’s farmers could benefit in terms of new crops and revenue, according to Norris Tolson, the center’s director. Tolson talked about the future for biotechnology and farmers during the annual Farm-City Breakfast held recently at the Wilson County Agricul-

tural Center. Tolson, an Edgecombe County native and former farmer, wants the center to do things to help agriculture because agriculture remains important to the state’s economy. Crops that need less water and require less pesticides are being tested. Industrial sweet potatoes not produced for human consumption are being

developed for the creation of fuel. Tolson said there’s no question alternative fuels need to be developed. With aquaculture, Tolson thinks the state will soon see black sea bass and flounder raised on land in tanks. Tolson also talked about the work being done to shorten the time it takes for certain types of trees to mature.

‘The Blind Side’ focuses on the feel-good BY GLENN WHIPP FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOVIE REVIEW

---

T

he redemption-minded sports flick “The Blind Side” serves its inspiration straight-up with no twist. Writer-director John Lee Hancock wisely lets the true story of Michael Oher – the African-American teen who found a home and, eventually, football stardom, after being adopted by a wealthy Memphis family – speak for itself. That direct focus delivers a feel-good crowd-pleaser, but it also drains the film of the kind of subtle nuances that might have separated it from other Hollywood

Hallmarklike efforts, including Hancock’s own “The Rookie.” As chronicled in “Moneyball” author Michael Lewis’ finely reported book, “The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game,” Oher spent his first 16 years living in a shell. When he improbably landed at Memphis’ Briarcrest Christian School, he had an IQ of 80 and an inability to cope with a mere conversation. His prospects looked dim until he was taken in by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy. For everything he lacked in life (family, food, a place to sleep), Oher had been blessed

with the rare blend of size, strength and quickness sought by football coaches for the valuable left tackle position. That spot on the offensive line protects a right-handed quarterback from hits he can’t see coming. If Oher could somehow develop his raw talent into practiced technique, he could win a college scholarship and, possibly, a professional football career. “The Blind Side” dutifully chronicles the transformation of Oher (played by newcomer Quinton Aaron with the proper less-is-more approach) from blank slate to a fully formed young man, emphasizing Leigh Ann (Sandra Bullock) at the

NEW YORK (AP) – Donny Osmond may have been the celebrity winner on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars,” but his professional dancing partner already has her next gig lined up – Broadway. Kym Johnson was to make her Broadway debut on Friday in “Burn the Floor,” the hot-blooded ballroom dance show at the Longacre Theatre. She will be partnered with Maksim Chmerkovskiy, another alum of “Stars.” He opened “Burn the Floor” on Broadway in August.

expense of Sean (Tim McGraw). (The book notes Sean’s equally valuable contributions.) Bullock brings her trademarked spunkiness to the mother hen role, delivering an iron-willed woman who looks past appearances to do the right thing. “You are changing that boy’s life,” notes one of Leigh Anne’s condescending ladies-who-lunch pals. “No,” Leigh Anne replies. “He’s changing mine.” That solemn rebuke captures the spirit of the movie in a nutshell, though, strangely, we never see any actual change in Bullock’s indomitable Memphis mama from the beginning of the movie to the end.

25 recordings inducted into Grammy Hall of Fame LOS ANGELES (AP) – The Doors’ “Riders On The Storm” and the Beach Boys’ “California Girls” are among 25 recordings being inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Greece to partially restore birthplace of classical theater ATHENS, Greece (AP) – Greek authorities say they will partially restore the ruined marble theater under the Acropolis, where the works of Euripides and other classical playwrights were first performed about 2,500 years ago. The Culture Ministry said on Wednesday that the 6 million euro ($9 million) program is set for completion by 2015 and will include extensive modern additions to the surviving marble

seats of the Theater of Dionysos. Built on the southern slopes of the Acropolis Hill, the theater was first used in the late 6th century B.C. It hosted the opening performances of tragedies by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, as well as Aristophanes’ comedies. A small section of the 4th century B.C. seating – which could hold up to 15,000 spectators – survives in place.

Jose Feliciano’s “Feliz Navidad;” Janis Joplin’s “Pearl;” the Isley Brothers’ “Twist and Shout;” Louis Armstrong’s “Lazy River;” and Muddy Waters’ “I Feel Like Going Home.”

inductees were drawn from all categories of music. Other recordings selected for the hall this year include: James Brown’s “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World;”
