Rankings: High-poverty counties are concentrated in the state’s eastern and southeastern regions – Robeson County had the highest poverty at 31 percent, followed by Scotland County at 29 percent and Lenoir County at 26 percent.

Earnings: A working family with one adult and two children in Guilford County needs to earn on average a total of $39,449 annually to afford basic expenses, $36,920 in Davidson County and $32,722 in Randolph. The federal poverty level for a family of three is $17,500. The richest 5 percent of Guilford County households had an average income 25 times greater than the poorest fifth of households.

TRIAD – An estimated 106,000 Triad residents live in poverty, according to a new study.

Poverty is more of a problem in Davidson and Randolph counties where rates are nearly equal at 15 percent than in Guilford County at 13 percent, according to an N.C. Justice Center report.

The numbers mean about 45,000 people live in poverty in Davidson and Randolph counties while 61,000 Guilford County residents

were poor in 2008. The poverty rates for Davidson and Randolph counties are above the state average of 14.6 percent while Guilford is slightly below, according to the center, a nonprofit, progressive advocacy and research organization.

Overall, 1.3 million North Carolinians lived in poverty in 2008, according to the center report.

None of the high-poverty counties are in the Triad, however.

Among adjoining counties, Alamance had the highest rate at 17.7 percent.

The Raleigh-based organization reported that about one out of seven people in the state survived on incomes at or below the federal poverty level. Statewide, 19.5 percent of children live in poverty and the rate for families is 11 percent, or 260,000 families.

As the nationwide recession gripped North Carolina in 2007, the state’s 2008 household income fell below what it had been eight years earlier: $47,241 in 2001.

First phase of new affordable homes now complete in Southside community

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Signs of a city-led revitalization effort are springing up in one troubled neighborhood.

A ceremony is planned for next week to introduce the first phase of new affordable homes that have been built in the Southside community. Purchasers of the first of 11 planned new homes on Vail Avenue have closed or are in the process of closing on the properties.

“We’ve spent a lot of time working with other departments trying to stabilize the neighborhood,” said Mike McNair, High Point’s community development and housing director. “We’re

–

A ribbon-cutting to celebrate the first phase of the new affordable housing development in Southside is planned for Dec. 9 at 11:30 a.m.

Unity Builders is the developer of the homes. The city allocated $132,000 in federal funds for the project. The city partnered with Newbridge Bank, which provides construction loans for the developer. The city also provides downpayment assistance to qualified low-income buyers.

looking for opportunities to replace dilapidated housing and build on vacant lots, which will hopefully continue to strengthen the neighborhood.”

The project follows other city efforts in the area, including a street-level drug initiative by High

Point police that is credited with reducing violent crime in Southside.

A traffic-calming device has been installed on Vail Avenue and a storm-water improvement project is under way there.

“I think it’s going really well. It’s something

that is way overdue and should have been done a long time ago. Had it been addressed years ago, it wouldn’t be in the condition it is today,” said City Councilman Mike Pugh, who represents Southside.

“When we let neighborhoods deteriorate, it does bring in an element of crime and drugs and prostitution and things of that nature.”

The city has employed a similar revitalization strategy in the Macedonia and West End neighborhoods.

In Southside, which has long struggled with a large number of vacant and abandoned properties and other blight, the city has acquired 10 to 12 parcels

in the Vail Avenue/Cassell Street/Tryon Avenue area, with plans to purchase more property, McNair said. For the initial phase of the new houses, some vacant sites were used and the city paid to relocate the occupants of three older homes, he said.

The city has made up to $7,500 in downpayment assistance available for the buyers of the houses. Officials said the affordable housing market – where sales prices range from about $90,000 to $135,000 – has been fairly stable.

“Homeownership plays a large part in stabilizing and revitalizing neighborhoods,” Pugh said. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Council lifts moratorium on outdoor flea markets

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – The Thomasville City Council on Monday night lifted a moratorium it placed earlier this year on new outdoor flea markets.

At a special-called meeting, the City Council approved a new ordinance that sets guidelines for new outdoor flea markets.

With the approval of the new ordinance, the moratorium is lifted, said Paul Mitchell, the city’s attorney.

Councilman Scott Styers made the motion, which was seconded

by George Burton, to approve the new ordinance.

Citing several potential safety hazards concerning outdoor markets, the City Council placed the moratorium on the flea markets during its June meeting.

Currently, Thomasville has one outdoor flea market, the 11 Acres Flea Market.

City officials said that the flea market has been cited for several safety problems with electrical outlets, restrooms and parking.

Ken Hepler, the city’s planning and zoning administrator, said 11 Acres Flea Market is not in viola-

tion of the new ordinance. The ordinance mandates all proposed flea markets be located on at least a 2-acre tract of land.

The new ordinance also requires metal carports to have all sides remaining open and restrooms to be located in a permanent building and be handicap accessible.

In addition, the ordinance stipulates any and all electrical service shall comply with codes, and driveway and parking areas must be graded and maintained.

The ordinance also mandates that “off-street parking sufficient to ensure public safety shall be

provided, and adequate fire lanes will be maintained.” While the Chair City only has one outdoor flea market, the city has received interest from others about starting new ones.

In June, Don Jarrett, owner of D&D Delivery Service Inc. on Railroad Avenue in Thomasville, spoke against the moratorium during a public hearing.

He told the council he had hopes of starting an outdoor flea market on 5 acres and an indoor flea market in his 20,000-square-foot building. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

This is the first part of a five-week series on the progress of The Salvation Army of High Point’s Annual Christmas Campaign. Through donations by the red kettles outside storefronts and Christmas mail appeal, The Salvation Army provides gifts for kids and seniors during the holiday season, as well as emergency assistance throughout the year.

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – The first two full weeks of the Christmas Campaign ended on a strong note with help from after-Thanksgiving shopping.

The Salvation Army’s goal is to raise $160,000 by Christmas Eve. “To date, we have raised $28,053,” Capt. Tony Perez announced. “I am strongly encouraged that with the current economy, we are only behind by around $600 from last year. We expect the giving to pick up speed during the next couple of weeks.”

Eric Caveness is one of those volunteers. This will be the second year that his sons, Ryan, 11, and Dylan, 9, and he will ring bells at Wal-Mart on S. Main Street.

“My sons were the ones that wanted to do it,” Caveness said. “They were so excited and got really into it. I try to instill a heart of giving in them.

They might not always be able to fill the kettle with

money, but that doesn’t mean you can’t stand there and inspire others to give.”

Last year while ringing, Dylan received Subway cookie coupons from the in-store sandwich shop.

He gave them to all of the kids who walked into WalMart that day with their parents. The hope was that the parents would be encouraged to donate on their way out of the store.

Reptile rules, texting ban among new N.C. laws RALEIGH (AP) – People who own crocodiles, venomous snakes and large pythons in North Carolina must secure them in containers and face prosecution if the reptiles gravely attack a friend or stranger in legislation that takes effect today in North Carolina.

The new reptiile rules are among more than 50 largely criminal justice laws approved this year, including a

Adults can continue to send or receive cell phone calls. texting-while-driving ban for all motorists, more authority for state officers who oversee probationers and the most significant changes to the state’s sentencing grid since it began.

The minimum safety requirements for keeping dangerous reptiles are designed to update an abridged 60-yearold reptile law, said Andrew Wyatt of Coinjock, president of the United States Association of Reptile Keepers.

Increasing numbers of people now own these reptiles as a pet or for business who aren’t linked to zoos or museums.

“People that want to work with these type of animals are going to have to

meet best industry management practices,” said Wyatt, who helped draft the state legislation sponsored by Sen. Ed Jones, D-Halifax. “They’re going to have to step up to the plate to make sure that all the proper protocols are adhered to.”

Private owners now will have to store or transport venomous reptiles, large constricting snakes and nonnative crocodilians in “escape-proof” and “bite-proof” enclosures with a working lock. The enclosures must be labeled to include emergency contact information and what should happen if the reptile bites someone or escapes.

The new driving-while-texting ban builds upon a 2006 law already making it illegal for young drivers to use a cell phone while driving as a way to reduce distractions on the road. Now all drivers are barred from text messaging or sending e-mails with their cell phones while on a road or highway, even if the car is idling at a stop light. There are some exceptions.

Violators could face a $100 fine plus $130 in court costs. Adults can continue to send or receive cell phone calls.

At least 18 other states have texting bans for all drivers, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association.

THOMASVILLE – Thomasville police Deputy Chief Tim Driggers will retire next month after more than 30 years with the law enforcement agency, the department announced Monday.

Thomasville police Capt. James Mills said Driggers will retire Jan. 1, 2010. Driggers, who declined to comment on his retirement Monday, has a total of 31.5 years with the Thomasville Police Department.

“Personally, I’m sorry to see him go because I think he has a wealth of experience and knowledge,” Mills said. “Me and him pretty much came about the same time. There is about an eight-month difference between us. For me, he is the last of those who were here when I came here.

He’s been a good friend.”

Driggers was one of

four internal candidates who had applied to replace Ronald Driggers Bratton, who retired June 30, 2009, as the police chief. Several citizens expressed they would have like Driggers to be police chief, but the city of Thomasville hired Jeff Insley, who at that time was serving as the police chief of Roxboro.

In July 2008, Driggers was named major of the Thomasville Police Department. As part of a restructure of the Thomasville Police Department, Insley recently named Driggers, a High Point native, as deputy chief.

Aside from deputy chief and major, he has been promoted to sergeant, patrol lieutenant and captain.

DCCC lights up campus for holidays

N.C. burley tobacco market opens today ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina’s burley tobacco growers may have just one place to sell their product this season.

The Asheville Citizen-Times reported that

Planters Tobacco Warehouse in Asheville will open today. Warren Anders operates the warehouse and says he expects representatives of a nonprofit cooperative

to attend, along with possibly two or three other buyers.

Another large warehouse appears to have closed.

Burley tobacco usually

makes up about a third of a cigarette. It grows better in the mountains, where cooler nights and foggy mornings in the fall help it retain the desired moisture.

A federal buyout of the tobacco price support program went into effect in 2005 and since then, the number of burley tobacco growers has dropped significantly.

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

DAVIDSON COUNTY — An area college will ring in the season Wednesday with a flash of brilliance and a healthy dose of holiday spirit.

A new holiday tree will be featured in the annual Davidson County Community College lighting event scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on the college’s Davidson Campus. The public is invited.

DCCC President Mary Rittling will lead the countdown as the white lights adorning the campus are illuminated for the first time this season. New this year is a living holiday tree that will be decorated with white lights along with numerous campus shrubs and trees.

The 12-foot Norway spruce grew in the North Carolina mountains until it was dug up, transported to the Davidson campus and transplanted in its new home on Oct 23.

Each year, the lighting ceremony will mark the growth of the holiday tree as it becomes taller and more prominent in its location, near the newly configured Main Campus Entrance on Old Greensboro Road.

The Rich Fork Baptist Church Carolers once again will highlight festivities as they entertain guests in colorful costumes while performing their repertoire of fourpart harmony, a cappella songs. Children’s activities include a holiday story reading by Mark Branson, dean of arts, sciences and education.

Refreshments of homemade cookies and hot wassail will be served. For more information call (336) 249-8186.

Our greed, excess handicaps future generations Dear Editor, Please hold this letter for a few generations, until around Jan. 1, 2089. I think that’s how long it will take to forget today’s troubled times.

To my fellow, future Americans: I hope this letter finds your generation in good health and that you have found the peace on Earth that we pray for on Sundays. I write not to scold you for any excesses, nor prophesie the end of times or to interrupt your dreams of your future. I write to tell you how this happened to us.

Like a thief coming in the night, we were caught off guard and had no time to prepare for the situation we found ourselves in.

As I write, a million families have lost their homes, 7 million workers have lost their jobs and millions more have lost the hope that tomorrow will be better than today.

Our depressed economy is feeding upon itself. With incomes falling, people spend less. With lower incomes and spending, tax revenues go down, governments provide less. It is economic cannibalism. The laws of supply and demand no longer give direction to this economy. The subconscious of the American consumer has total control.

Consumers were whipped into submission by greed. Greed is what I caution you of. Greed is guilty of creating lousy financial products that left us with only debt. Greed created trade treaties that sent our factories overseas and left us without work. We are now fighting amongst ourselves, pointing fingers of blame, and the very politicians who got us here say our new direction takes us down the wrong path. Greed is the root cause of our troubles.

Our depressed economy is feeding upon itself.

this and get back to you.”

This brings another thought to taxpayers’ minds: If the insurance, drug companies, hospitals and medical professionals stop paying the politicians to run for office, maybe the politicians’ “license to steal” will come to a screeching halt!

Politicians take billions from insurance, drug companies, health care professionals and what few businesses are left. This is why taxpayers can’t afford insurance, hospitals, let alone medications.

Schools should race to reform teacher pay

S

chool officials in Guilford County and across the state are discussing whether their school districts and the state should apply to participate in a new U.S. Department of Education school improvements program. It is funded by $4.35 billion in federal stimulus money.

The Obama administration calls this new program “Race to the Top,” and it includes a number of school reforms, including improving low-performing schools, implementing data systems and giving merit/bonus pay to classroom teachers and administrators who excel at their jobs.

Whether the state and local officials should press ahead vigorously in pursuit of this money, we aren’t sure. We urge Mo Green and the Guilford School Board to closely inspect the program’s guidelines, local financial requirements and any of the strings that probably are attached before deciding whether Guilford should participate in a state push for the funding.

But whether or not this competitive funding is sought by the state, and whether or not it is awarded, local and state officials should consider adopting some form of the merit/bonus pay idea. For far too long in North Carolina, teacher and school administrator pay has been based on educational degree and years of service. Excellent teachers receive the same pay as mediocre and bad teachers. There’s little incentive, financially, for quality teachers to remain in the classroom, continuing to inspire and stimulate students to achieve.

We all want students to race to the top. Reforming the ancient pay system in order to compensate teachers for their classroom achievements would help.

They’re trying to ruin my health care plan

T

here are plenty of reasons for lovers of liberty to oppose the legislative abomination now lumbering to the floor of the U.S. Senate under the misleading name of “health care reform.”

The bill in its current form will jack up taxes, cost far more than advertised, delay the nation’s economic recovery, violate the U.S. Constitution, and make millions of additional Americans into the kind of governmental dependents that most Europeans now are.

But for me, there’s an additional reason, both personal and professional, why I hope the bill never reaches the president’s desk: It would almost certainly destroy my current health plan.

Years ago, the John Locke Foundation adopted a consumer-driven health plan for its employees. We can choose from among three options: 1) a highdeductible insurance policy coupled with a tax-free health savings account, 2) a high-deductible insurance policy coupled with flexible spending and health reimbursement accounts, or 3) cashing out and purchasing a plan in the individual market.

All three tax-free savings vehicles – HSAs, HRAs, and FSAs – store cash in banks for use in paying medical bills.

But they have key differences. HSAs are the personal property of employees and can only be set up in conjunction with an approved insurance policy. Unspent funds stay in personal accounts and can be taken with workers as they change jobs. HRAs are actually owned by the employer, not the employees, while FSAs are personal accounts but cannot accumulate unspent balances. At the end of the year, the money reverts back to the employer.

These consumer-driven options are the most successful products in health insurance at the moment. By making families

more cost-conscious and reducing the amount of insurance claims, they’ve resulted in substantial savings and low or no annual increases in premiums for the insurance component, unlike what’s going on OPINION in the rest of the market.

Most participants are John highly satisfied with their Hood plans, not surprisingly.

■■■ What Congress should do right now is change the law to give more Americans access to these options and convert all FSAs to HSAs, so that there will no longer be a “use-it-or-lose-it” problem with flex accounts.

Instead, of course, Congress is about to impose such severe limitations on all these options, through benefit mandates and caps on the tax exclusion, that they will likely disappear. If Obamacare passes, in other words, my JLF colleagues and I will lose our current health care plans. There’ll be nothing “optional” about it.

So you’ll have to pardon me if I view liberals’ political promises about health care with scorn. Rather than truly addressing the problems with the current system, they are bound and determined to destroy any health care financing arrangement that puts power in the hands of individuals rather than government and the special interests who control its subsidies and dictates.

Naturally, I hope they fail. So do millions of other Americans who believe that the first step to crafting a sound public policy would be for the government to pledge to leave us alone.

Pirates hijack $20 million of oil going to U.S. NAIROBI, Kenya – Crews on oil tankers aren’t allowed to smoke above deck, much less carry guns, for fear of igniting the ship’s payload. That’s one of the main reasons Somali pirates met little resistance when they hijacked a U.S.-bound supertanker carrying $20 million in crude.

The Greek-flagged tanker – traveling from Saudi Arabia to New Orleans – had no escort when it was hijacked Sunday because naval warships are stretched too thin.

Afghan officials fear talk of exit strategy KABUL – Afghan officials hope President Barack Obama’s address on Afghanistan won’t be weighted too heavily on an exit strategy – even though that’s the message many Americans want to hear.

If he talks extensively in his speech tonight about winding down the war, Afghans fear the Taliban will simply bide their time until the Americans abandon the country much as Washington did after the Soviets left 20 years ago.

Demjanjuk trial opens on death camp charges MUNICH – John Demjanjuk sat in a wheelchair wrapped in a light blue blanket, his eyes closed and his face pale as his trial opened Monday on charges he helped kill 27,900 Jews as a Nazi death camp guard.

Lawyers for the retired Ohio autoworker portrayed him as a victim – of the Nazis and misguided German justice. But three German doctors testified the Ukrainian-born Demjanjuk was fit to stand trial.

Experts: Iran enrichment plans largely bluster TEHRAN, Iran – Iran’s announcement of plans to build 10 more uranium enrichment facilities is largely bluster after a strong rebuke from the U.N.’s nuclear agency, analysts said Monday. Nonetheless, the defiance is fueling calls among Western allies for new punitive sanctions to freeze Iran’s nuclear program.

U.S. officials were swift to condemn the plans, warning Iran risked sinking ever deeper into isolation.

Iran holds 5 U.K. nationals LONDON (AP) – Iran is holding five British sailors after stopping their racing yacht in the Persian Gulf, the British government said Monday.

The move could heighten tensions between Iran and major world powers, including Britain, that

are demanding a halt to its nuclear program.

Oil prices spiked 2 percent to $77.45 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange as the news broke before settling slightly at $77.28.

The yacht owned by Sail Bahrain was stopped on

its way from the tiny island country to the Gulf city of Dubai on Wednesday when it “may have strayed inadvertently into Iranian waters,� Britain’s Foreign Office said. Sail

Bahrain’s Web site identified the yacht as the “Kingdom of Bahrain� and said it had been due to join the Dubai-Muscat Offshore Sailing Race, which was to begin Nov. 26.

Obama to lay out plans for Afghan war

BRIEFS

House hearing set on uninvited guests WASHINGTON – The Secret Service director and the couple who crashed the Obama administration’s first state dinner have been called to testify before Congress on Thursday about the incident.

Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security committee, said he wants answers about the Secret Service’s security deficiencies that allowed Michaele and Tareq Salahi into the dinner, even though they were not on the guest list.

Seattle police search under the I-5 freeway for the suspect in the killing of four Lakewood, Wash., police officers Monday in Seattle.

Manhunt continues in officer killings SEATTLE (AP) – Using search dogs and going door to door, hundreds of police intensified the hunt Monday for the man wanted in the coffeehouse killings of four officers after a SWAT team came up emptyhanded in a raid on a house where he was thought to be holed up.

The realization that the suspect had not been cornered after all further rattled people in the Seattle area, many of them unnerved

Man charged in 3 Kansas deaths LYNDON, Kan. – A former Missouri city official previously accused of assaulting his wife was charged Monday with capital murder in the shootings of her and their two teenage daughters in eastern Kansas.

James Kraig Kahler, 46, also was charged with one count of attempted first-degree murder in the shooting of his estranged wife’s 89-year-old grandmother and one count of aggravated burglary.

by the thought of a mentally unstable killer in their midst.

Police canvassed the neighborhood around the Seattle house and fanned out across the city, looking for any sign of Maurice Clemmons, 37. Authorities posted a $125,000 reward for information leading to his arrest in the Sunday morning shooting rampage.

The manhunt came as authorities in two states took heat for

the fact that Clemmons was allowed to walk the streets despite a teenage crime spree in Arkansas that landed him a 95-year prison sentence. He was released in 2000 after then-Gov. Mike Huckabee commuted his sentence. “This guy should have never been on the street,� said Brian D. Wurts, president of the police union in Lakewood, where all four slain officers worked.

WASHINGTON (AP) – After months of debate, President Barack Obama will spell out a costly Afghanistan war expansion to a skeptical public tonight, coupling an infusion of as many as 35,000 more troops with a vow that there will be no endless U.S. commitment. His first orders have already been made: at least one group of Marines who will be in place by Christmas.

Obama has said that he prefers “not to hand off anything to the next president� and that his strategy will “put us on a path toward ending the war.�

But he doesn’t plan to give any more exact timetable than that tonight.

The president will end his 92-day review of the war with a nationally broadcast address from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.

Senate opens health debate WASHINGTON (AP) – Riven by partisanship, the Senate plunged into a widely anticipated debate Monday over sweeping health care legislation that President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats have vowed to approve and Republicans have sworn to block.

Debate is expected to last for weeks over the legislation, which includes a first-time requirement for most Americans to carry insurance and a mandate for insurers to cover any paying customer regard-

Man arrested in fatal punch of ill relative COVINA, Calif. – A Southern California man suspected of fatally punching his disabled relative as he sat in a wheelchair has been arrested for investigation of murder.

less of medical history or condition. “We must avoid the temptation to drown in distractions and distortions,� Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said in the first moments of the first speech, a jab at Republicans that was reciprocated minutes later. “Well, I don’t know what’s more preposterous: saying that this plan ‘saves Medicare’ or thinking that people will actually believe you,�

Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said of Reid’s oft-made statement.

At a cost of nearly $1

trillion, the legislation is designed to extend health care to millions of Americans who lack it, abolish insurance industry practices such as denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions and cut back on the rise of health care spending overall.

Name game Old N.C. 62 sections to get new designations ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – County officials will consider naming two portions of old N.C. 62 in southern Guilford County severed to build a U.S. 311 Bypass overpass.

The N.C. Department of Transportation is relocating N.C. 62 West to cross over the future U.S. 311 Bypass

between Appletree Road and Penman Road.

The eastern portion of the severed old N.C. 62 would be called Appletree Road, and Haney Way has been selected for the western portion.

The Guilford County Planning Board will consider the name changes on Dec. 9. The names are needed to help first responders quickly

find houses in the neighborhood.

Appletree Road was suggested for the eastern portion because it would continue from the existing road. Residents suggested the Haney Way name.

Work crews continue to work on the new leg of U.S. 311 from High Point into northern Randolph County.

The new section of U.S. 311 from Interstate 85 Business Loop to Spencer Road is 80 percent complete, according to DOT officials.

DENTON – Brown Loflin watched a dream from last year come to life Friday at his Denton FarmPark.

Loflin, who has owned and operated the Denton FarmPark for 40 years, said he had a dream last year about a train going around the park and showing a movie about Jesus.

This December, his dream is becoming a reality with the Denton FarmPark hosting its first “Country Christmas Train” event.

“We’ve had a lot of people to suggest we do a Christmas event, but the final decision was made by my dad,” said Karen Miller, general manager of the Denton FarmPark.

“He had a dream about our train being decorated, going around and stopping and showing a movie about the birth of Christ.”

Those who attend Christmas Country Train will ride a train, which departs every 30 minutes during the event, through the Denton FarmPark.

“One of the most impressive things we’ve got is the tree on the water and the cross on the water,” Miller said. “We have some lifesize horses that look like they are pulling a horsedrawn sled.”

Aside from the train, participants will sing car-

In addition, the event will allow participants to purchase hot chocolate, cookies, food and heritage crafts.

Earlier this year, the Brown family began organizing the event. According to Miller, the FarmPark purchased lights from several municipalities, such as Hickory, Siler City, Shelby and Gastonia.

The opening night of the event Friday drew a

crowd of about 500 people.

“It made me feel pretty good that there would be that many people on the first go-around,” Loflin said of the event’s opening day. “Everybody was just applauded at it. That made you feel good. That made you feel like all that work was not in vain.”

Miller said she hopes the event will become an annual Christmas tradition at the Denton FarmPark – just like Tanglewood’s annual Festival of Lights.

Cheer Fund donations begin to roll in ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – The 2009 Christmas Cheer Fund has received $3,525 today. That brings the total in donations to $3,525. This year’s goal is $35,000.

The fund, operated by the Kiwanis Club of High Point, provides Christmas gifts for nearly 1,500 children identified by the Guilford County Department of Social Services.

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.

Motel offers rooms to homeless CHARLOTTE (AP) — The owners of a North Carolina motel are offering one-tenth of their rooms for the homeless, beginning Tuesday.

The Charlotte Observer reported that Imtiaz Shareef and his brother are offering 16 of their rooms in the Days Inn extended-stay

suites on Sugar Creek Road in Charlotte to the homeless.

Churches or their members would pay for a night’s stay for some.

It’s part of the new Room in the Inn program, which the brothers hope will bring attention to the growing homeless population.

Authorities charge two with theft

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Two people face multiple charges after an investigation by the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office.

The case dates to Nov. 2, when deputies responded to a suspicious vehicle call at 188 Beaver Dam Creek Road. The vehicle couldn’t be located, but a witness provided a description and license plate number. The home that was referred to in the call was damaged in a fire in May 2009 and was

in the process of being demolished.

The witness, a relative of the home’s owner, reported the house had been broken into and stated that two window air conditioning units, a Stanley tool chest, small gasoline motor and jewelry totaling about $2,000 were missing, according to the sheriff’s office.

Deputies with the Breaking and Entering Task Force conducted the investigation and were able to develop a possible suspect. Witnesses stated they had seen the

While ADVICE I agree in prinDear ciple, as a Abby homeowner ■■■ who is a frequent recipient of foreign feces, there is a practical issue that you may not have foreseen. Our garbage collectors will not dispose of small bags of dog poop; they will only take trash bags of the larger size one would expect to contain household waste.

The result is that after our trash is taken, we’re left with several bags of strangers’ dog waste in the bottom of the can.

My wife and I have to pull these bags out and add them to larger bags of garbage. Otherwise, they’ll remain at the bottom of the can indefinitely.

So while putting one’s dog droppings in a stranger’s trash may appear to be harmless, it may also have consequences you didn’t consider. I would suggest that pet owners err on the side of taking it home with them. And if you don’t want to carry it for 15 minutes, don’t walk your dog 15 minutes from your house. — Frequent

BY BOB FORMAN

ccording to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases there is an estimated 23.6 million people in the United States who have diabetes, a disease in which your blood glucose (sugar) level is too high.

Glucose is the main source of fuel for the body and comes from the breakdown of most foods we eat. Once broken down, glucose passes into the bloodstream and is transported throughout the body.

To get into the cells of the body where glucose can be used as energy insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, must be present. In people with diabetes, either the pancreas produces little or no insulin, (Type 1 diabetes) and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t transfer glucose into the cells or the pancreas is producing insulin, but for some reason their bodies canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t effectively use the insulin to move glucose into the cells, Type 2 diabetes.

In either case, the body has enough glucose floating around in the blood, but unfortunately this energy canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be used as the mechanism for getting the energy into the cells is not working. This build-up of glucose in the blood overflows into the urine and out of the body.

A fasting blood test can indicate if there is an excess build-up of glucose in the blood, which would indicate diabetes or pre-diabetes, a condition that is becoming more common in the United States. Estimates are that at least 57 million American adults ages 20 or older had prediabetes in 2007. Those with pre-diabetes are likely to develop Type 2 diabetes within 10 years, unless they take behavioral steps to prevent or delay diabetes.

Fatigue often is a symptom of diabetes as the cells of the body just arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting the fuel they need. Other symptoms include frequent urination, increased thirst and hunger, weight loss, blurred vision and slow healing of wounds or sores. Some have no symptoms.

A fitness program can play a major role in maintaining blood glucose levels and reducing or eliminating long-term cardiovascular complications from diabetes. The Web site www.exerciseismedicine.org has recommendations for starting a fitness program.

GARFIELD

Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common heart rhythm disorders

D

ear Dr. Donohue: While my doctor was listening to my heart during my annual physical examination, I saw him wince. He listened for quite some time. Then he looked up and told me I have atrial fibrillation. He put me on medicine, and I have to go back to see him. He said he has a few other things up his sleeve.

What are those things?

I don’t feel any different than I ever have. – L.H.

BLONDIE

The atria are the two upper heart chambers.

The right atrium receives blood coming from veins, and that blood contains little oxygen. The left atrium receives blood from the lungs that has its oxygen content restored. In atrial fibrillation, these two chambers are writhing at a rapid and erratic rate. A flurry of electrical activity coming from the atrium causes it. The two lower pumping heart chambers follow the atria’s lead and begin contracting rapidly and erratically, but not as fast as the atria. Causes of atrial fibrillation are many. Heart-valve disease, partially blocked heart arteries and high blood pressure are some of its causes. An overactive thyroid gland is another cause. And it also happens in hearts without any discernible abnormality.

The consequences of atrial fibrillation are serious. It decreases the volume of blood pumped with each heartbeat and can throw a person into heart

failure. It produces episodes of lightheadedness and shortness of breath.

The most HEALTH devastating conDr. Paul sequence Donohue of atrial ■■■ fibrillation is a stroke.

Blood stagnates in the fibrillating atria. Stagnant blood forms clots. Those clots can be carried in the circulation to brain arteries and plug them. The result is a stroke.

If atrial fibrillation is recent, a slight shock to the heart sometimes can restore a normal beat.

For others, medicines revert fibrillation to normal rhythm. If medicines don’t establish a regular heartbeat, they slow the heart so that it pumps out a sufficient blood supply. Radio waves, delivered by a catheter to the atria’s interior, create roadblocks that stop the errant, irregular electrical impulses causing this rhythm – another treatment.

Blood-thinning medicines are needed to prevent clot formation and the possibility of stroke.

The booklet on abnormal heartbeats deals with atrial fibrillation and its many treatments.

To obtain a copy, write: Dr. Donohue – No. 107, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Allow

four weeks for delivery.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I recently stubbed my great toe. My mother isn’t sure how long it will be sore.

What do you think? – S.S. Ever bang your elbow or the tip of your finger against a wall? How long did it take you to get over those injuries? Probably a week or two, right? That’s how long it takes to get over a stubbed toe. Stubbing the toe breaks blood vessels, and the toe swells and hurts. It gets better on its own. If you soak the toe in warm water for 15 minutes, three or four times a day, it heals faster.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I smoke marijuana to fall asleep at night. What are the long-term physical and mental effects of smoking this? – B. Frequent and heavy marijuana use raises the risk of serious gum disease. It can impair memory and decrease learning aptitude. It appears to have the same effect on lungs that cigarettes have – emphysema and chronic bronchitis. A relatively light use doesn’t pose such dangers. It is, however, an illegal drug, and you can still suffer consequences on that front.

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

Clinton’s daughter Chelsea gets engaged NEW YORK – Turns out those discredited rumors of a possible Chelsea Clinton wedding last summer were just premature.

The couple sent an e-mail to friends Friday announcing the news.

The Swiss Justice Ministry declined to say what guarantees Polanski needed to give to be transferred from jail to house arrest at his chalet in the luxury resort of Gstaad.

Hurricane season ends with barely a whimper SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) – The Atlantic hurricane season ended Monday with barely a whimper: Not a single hurricane came ashore in the United States.

Since June, when the season began, just nine named storms developed. Only three of them became hurricanes, and those stayed out at sea or weakened before passing over land.

Two tropical storms made landfall in the U.S., causing little more than rain and some beach erosion.

“We had a great, great year,” said Chris Vecsey, a salesman at Top Gun Tackle in Orange Beach, Ala., near where

Tropical Storm Ida slogged ashore in November.

“Last year we had Gustav and Ike and a couple of other storms that didn’t even hit here.

And with all the hype, it ruined us. It just didn’t happen this year,” Vecsey said.

Archdale wood artist John Skau, who died of brain cancer in October 2007, poses with some of his artwork.

Triad arts community to honor late artist with exhibit made from his leftover wood

BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

A

rchdale wood artist John Skau not only left a legacy when he died, he also left a large supply of unused wood.

Lots and lots of wood.

So the Triad arts community will use the wood – and celebrate the legacy – by creating an exhibit titled “John Skau’s Wood: A Point of Departure.”

Beginning today, area photographers are invited to borrow some of Skau’s leftover wood, photograph it and return it; then, beginning Dec. 15, other two-dimensional and third-dimensional artists are invited to take the wood and create new works with it.

All of the finished works – the photos and the wood pieces themselves – will be featured in the exhibit, which will open March 5 at Studio B in downtown Greensboro.

“I knew John for years, and I thought the world of him,” says Anne Willson, one of the exhibit organizers.

“He was just one of those incredible people.

Willson is the founding director of BricoSkau’s wood, which includes mahogany, lage, a nonprofit store in Greensboro that sells walnut, oak and other woods. Participating used materials to people who want to create artists will have about 11 weeks to complete art with them. She learned about Skau’s wood their works for the exhibit. from his widow, Judy West, and hit on the “John Skau’s Wood” pays tribute to an idea of an exhibit in memory of Skau. artist who was internationally recognized for The first part of the exhibit will be the pho- his craft. tographs of Skau’s wood.

“John Skau’s Wood: A Point of Departure” will feature photographs of the wood the Archdale artist left behind when he died in 2007, as well as new works created with that wood.

Photographers can pick up wood to photograph between noon and 6 p.m. today, Wednesday and Thursday, and between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday at Bricolage, 716 W. Market St., Greensboro. The wood should be returned between Dec. 8 and 12.

Other two-dimensional and three-dimensional artists can pick up wood to create new works between noon and 6 p.m. Dec. 15-18 and Dec. 22, and between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Dec. 19.

All finished works should be delivered to Studio B, 520 S. Elm St., Greensboro, by March 4.

An opening reception for the exhibit will be held March 5, and the exhibit will continue through April 30.

Willson found out just how well-thoughtof Skau was when she went to a sculptural weaving class in Vermont earlier this year, to learn what she could about the type of work Skau did. The teacher, who is also highly regarded, included a slide of Skau’s work in her presentation. “He was also in several books she brought for examples of fine sculptural weaving,” Willson says.

Skau, who died of brain cancer in October 2007, was also a dedicated environmentalist, according to Willson, so he probably would’ve liked the premise of this exhibit honoring him.

“A lot of his wood came from furniture makers right there in the High Point area, so he was all about reusing materials,” she says.

“It seems real natural to honor him with this project.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Jeff Rubens, whose editorship of “The Bridge World” magazine (www. bridgeworld.com) spans 43 years, has produced a book that will significantly impact the literature.

A player must often judge the odds of success of different plays. In “Expert Bridge Simplified: Arithmetic Shortcuts for Declarer,” Rubens demystifies the mathematics of the game.

At 7NT it seems South must decide whether to play for a 3-3 heart break or finesse in diamonds.

But Rubens shows you how South can take the ace of spades, run the clubs and cash three hearts ending in dummy.

FINESSE If hearts break 3-3, South discards the queen of diamonds on the king of spades; otherwise, he throws a heart and leads a diamond, planning to finesse. But since East guards hearts, he must keep a heart at the end.

When he follows with a low diamond at Trick 12, South will know to drop the king.

“Expert Bridge,” a huge paperback, lighthearted in tone, $27.90 postpaid to the U.S. from PO Box 299,

Scarsdale N.Y. 10583.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K 6 5 3 H A 4 2 D 8 7 6 5 4 2 C None. Your partner opens one spade, and the next player passes. What do you say?

ANSWER: A direct jump to four spades is possible, but the hand has great slam potential: two first-round controls. Partner would pass, expecting a weaker hand, with A Q 10 7 4, K 5 3, A Q, 8 6 4. I’d choose a strength-showing action: three spades (limit) or four clubs (a “splinter” raise).

South dealer N-S vulnerable

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

Panthers skate past S.C. State

BY EVAN LEPLER SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – Give High Point some skates and sweaters and the Panthers could pass for an ice hockey team.

They already substitute like one.

Thanks to repeated wholesale line changes in the second half that kept everyone on their toes, head coach Scott Cherry picked up his first win against a Division I foe as High Point (3-2) held off pesky South Carolina State 74-66 at the Millis Center on Monday night.

Sophomore Nick Barbour triggered the Panther offense with 26 points (14 after halftime).

But, all 10 scholarship players scored for High Point, often competing as two separate quin-

tets that Cherry shuffled in and out throughout the second half. Momentary lulls of effort and intensity prompted the quick hooks from the sideline – the first coming less than 90 seconds into the second half, when S.C. State point guard Khalif Toombs drove for an uncontested layup that gave the Bulldogs a 33-32 lead.

“We weren’t doing our jobs,” Barbour admitted as the leader of the first unit. “So we got taken out.”

High Point led 30-29 after a sloppy first half that included 14 Panther turnovers, yet the groggy opening to the second 20 minutes sent all five subs to the scorer’s table.

“We’ve come out in the second half of a lot of our games very slow and I had it in the back of my mind that if it happened again, we were

WHO’S NEWS

---

gonna substitute them,” Cherry said. “I did, and it worked in our favor. Those kids who came off the bench did a tremendous job for us.

“I just try to keep fresh guys out there. And I try to tell each and every single one of them that they are just as important as a starter who scores the most points. I need everybody.”

The second unit quickly retook the lead, an advantage the Panthers would not relinquish.

High Point committed just four turnovers in the second half.

Redshirt-freshman Corey Law added 16 points in 26 minutes, highlighted by a climactic dunk with 1:21 remaining that gave High Point a 69-59 lead that was its first double figure edge of the night.

Skinner casts record shadow

N

ow that the curtain has closed on the season, the biggest question for Jim Grobe looking ahead to 2010 is who will draw the huge task of replacing Riley Skinner, statistically the greatest passer in Wake history.

Skinner will graduate later this month.

He finished his career with the most yards passing SPORTS (9,762, fourth best Greer ever in the Smith ACC), most ■■■ attempts (1,349) most completions (903) and most touchdown passes (60) in Deacon history. With a completion percentage of 66.9, he fell just short of the Atlantic Coast Conference mark for completion efficiency of 67 percent set by Virginia’s Matt Schaub.

Skinner served as Wake’s principal quarterback since he was thrust into the lineup in the first game of his freshman year when Ben Mauk was injured and lost for the season.

For 2010, Grobe goes back to relying on a largely untested quarterback.

That will not necessarily be a recipe for disaster.

Backed by a stout defense, Skinner guided the Deacons to the ACC championship and an Orange Bowl berth his freshman year.

For Saturday’s game at Duke, Wake listed four players other than Skinner at quarterback. The main backup among those, Ryan McManus, is also a senior.

That leaves three who will be sophomores next season – Ted Stachitas, Brendan Cross and Turner Faulk. Skyler Jones, who switched from quarterback to receiver this fall, also returns.

Skinner believes the battle for the No. 1 position in spring practice will boil down to 6-1, 205-pound redshirt Stachitas from Ponte Verda Beach, Fla.; and 6-2, 200-pound Cross from Alpharetta, Ga. Of those two, Stachitas saw the only action, in mop up duty in the rout of Elon.

“Ted has been playing well the past couple of weeks and getting more reps in practice,” Skinner said. “Brendan is real talented. I’ll be curious to see how that pans out in the spring, because they bring a different dimension. Ted’s got that speed where he can get outside the pocket and make some big plays with his feet. ...

Brendan is smooth in the pocket. He floats around and buys an extra second or two without panicking.

It’s going to be a fun little quarterback battle in the spring. Hopefully I can get back here some during the spring and watch it.”

OTHER POSITIONS The new Wake quarterback will not have an experienced offensive line to provide protection.

Wake loses three starters across the offensive front – High Point’s Chris DeGeare, Barrett McMillian and Jeff Griffin.

The Deacons return plenty of depth at receiver with Devon Brown, Chris Givens, Marshall Williams and Jordan Williams; at tailback with Josh Adams

AP

Wake Forest quarterback Riley Skinner throws against Duke in the last game of his college career. Skinner finished as the most prolific passer in Wake history, leaving coach Jim Grobe large shoes to fill in 2010. and Brandon Pendergrass, and at tight end with Andrew Parker and Cameron Ford.

On the defensive line, the Deacs return ends Tristan Dorty, Kyle Wilber and Gelo Orange while losing nose guard Boo Robinson and end John Russell.

Elsewhere on defense, Grobe won’t be rebuilding his linebacking and secondary corps as he did this season. Joey Ehrmann, Matt Woodlief, Hunter Haynes and Scott Beros return at linebacker, while Dominique Midgett runs out of eligibility.

Starting cornerback Brandon Gee is the biggest loss in the secondary, where Kenny Okoro, Dominique Tate, Cyhl Quarles, Josh Bush and John Stamper return.

NO POP Even though Wake will have a mostly experienced group on defense next season, the downside of that is the Deacons never developed into a group of high-impact players on that side of the ball.

Wake forced just 19 turnovers, a drop of 14 from 2008. The Deacon defense didn’t score a touchdown until Alex Frye came up with a pick-six Saturday that turned out to be Wake’s final score of the season.

“We just didn’t develop a big play guy like Alphonso Smith or Aaron Curry or Chip Vaughn,” Grobe said.

“Some of our guys were just worried about getting in their drops or getting in the right lane to pass rush.

Those guys we had before played so many snaps that they just went out and really were looking more forward to making plays than getting lined up.”

NFL DREAMS John Russell, who played some defensive tackle for Wake despite weighing just 280 pounds, is getting some attention from NFL scouts.

Russell knows he is too light to play defensive tackle if he latches on with a pro team.

“I had a scout tell me that,” Russell said. “A guy for the Cowboys pulled

me over and asked if I had played any linebacker or anything like that. I told him I did in high school.

He said, ‘That’s good because I like you on film but you are about 40 pounds too light to play defensive tackle in our scheme.’

I told him ‘I’m really 20 pounds too light to play it in our scheme. So I know what you mean.’

“I think I’ll have a shot at another position like linebacker. If they want me to be a water boy, I’ll do that if I can make a team. I’ll work hard and listen to players and coaches and learn and do what they tell me to do.

If I can make something happen, it will be a dream come true.”

And if the dream doesn’t come true?

“Plan B is coaching,” Russell said. “Maybe be a graduate assistant here or somewhere else, whoever will take me. I’m not sure that coach Grobe would want to see my face around here anymore since I’ve been here so long.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

HIT AND RUN

T

he Atlantic Coast Conference looks to answer the Big Ten’s challenge for the 11th straight season.

The ACC-Big Ten Challenge tipped off last night with Penn State at Virginia.

The action really heats up tonight with five games. The headliners include Wake Forest at Purdue, Northwestern at N.C. State and Michigan State at North Carolina.

Wednesday’s five-game slate is topped by Illinois at Clemson, Minnesota at Miami and Duke at Wisconsin.

The ACC sports a perfect 10-0 record in the Challenge, which started in 1999.

But many of the confrontations have been

close. The ACC won 5-4 in ‘99 and 2000, 5-3 in ‘01, 5-4 in ‘02 and 6-5 in ‘05 and last year.

The biggest margins were 7-2 in ‘03 and ‘04 and 8-3 in ‘06 and ‘07.

Duke carries the biggest ACC stick, owning a perfect 10-0 mark in the Challenge.

Wake Forest is 8-1, while Clemson is 8-2, Maryland 7-3, Florida State 6-4, and Virginia and N.C. State 5-4. Boston College is 3-0 in its short tenure in the ACC. Interestingly, UNC stands 5-5 in the Challenge, with only three teams posting losing records. Georgia Tech is 4-6, Virginia Tech 1-3 and Miami 0-3.

Michigan State (5-4) is the only Big Ten

team with a winning Challenge record.

What does all this mean in the grand scheme of things?

Not much.

But I’m reminded of the words of the late Richard Nixon.

When asked to recount his political career, he replied: “I’ve won a few and lost a few, and let me tell you, winning is a lot more fun.”

I imagine ACC basketball fans share those sentiments.

Enjoy the Challenge, everyone.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

Notre Dame fired coach Charlie Weis on Monday after a string of disappointing seasons that was capped by an agonizing four-game losing streak.

Athletic director Jack Swarbrick announced the decision, saying in a news release: “We have great expectations for our football program, and we have not been able to meet those expectations.”

Swarbrick said he recommended to university president the Rev. John Jenkins on Sunday night that Weis be let go with six years left on his contract.

Weis leaves his alma mater with a 35-27 record in five seasons, among the worst of any Fighting Irish coach.

Assistant head coach Rob Ianello will step in for Weis until a new coach is hired.

Speculation about possible replacements for Weis has been rampant for weeks. Among the top names, Florida’s Urban Meyer and Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops already have said they plan to stay where they are.

Speaking on a conference call Monday, Stoops said: “I’m going to be at Oklahoma next year, so I can’t be at two places at once.”

Cincinnati’s Brian Kelly has also been mentioned.

Hurricanes lose fifth straight

Jackets put five on All-ACC team RALEIGH (AP) — A telling sign of how prolific Georgia Tech’s offense was this season: Nearly half of its starters made the all-Atlantic Coast Conference first team.

The 12th-ranked Yellow Jackets placed five offensive players, and six players overall, on the all-ACC team announced Monday after a vote conducted by 40 members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association.

Among the Coastal Division champions on the first team were quarterback Josh Nesbitt, running back and reigning ACC player of the year Jonathan Dwyer, receiver Demaryius Thomas, guard Cord Howard and center Sean Bedford.

They were among the cornerstones of a group that led the ACC in scoring (35 points per game), total offense (440.5 ypg), rushing offense (305 ypg)

and pass efficiency (160.7 rating).

They, and all-league defensive end Derrick Morgan, helped the Yellow Jackets vault into the top 10 before last week’s loss to rival Georgia and claim a spot in this week’s conference title game in Tampa, Fla. The Yellow Jackets will face Atlantic Division champion Clemson, with the winner advancing to the Orange Bowl.

The Tigers had three players on the first team, led by multi-threat star C.J. Spiller — who made the first-team as a specialist and the second team as a running back. He averaged 76 yards rushing, led the league with an average of 183.9 all-purpose yards and returned four kickoffs for touchdowns.

Joining him are teammates Michael Palmer at tight end and DeAndre McDaniel at safety.

Virginia Tech freshman Ryan Williams was one of four Hokies on the first team. He led the ACC with an average of 128.2 yards and a total 20 touchdowns, and was joined by kicker Matt Waldron, linebacker Cody Grimm and punter Brent Bowden.

Miami and North Carolina each landed four players on the first team.

All four of the Tar Heels’ selections — end Robert Quinn, linebacker Quan Sturdivant and backs Kendric Burney and Deunta Williams — came from a defense that statistically was the best in the ACC, allowing averages of 267.8 total yards and 92.8 yards on the ground.

Offensive tackle Jason Fox, defensive tackle Allen Bailey, cornerback Brandon Harris and kicker Matt Bosher — who also was the second-team punter — represent the Hurricanes.

Bowden announcement expected today TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Bobby Bowden says there will be an announcement Tuesday on his coaching future at Florida State.

The 80-year-old coach met with Florida State President T.K. Wetherell and athletic director Randy Spetman for an hour Monday in

Bowden’s office.

“We’ll finalize it tomorrow,” Bowden told reporters as he departed a weekly booster luncheon. “We talked about our options.”

Bowden has said before making a decision he had to do some soul searching, which will likely include mulling

over the division of responsibility between he and coach-in-waiting Jimbo Fisher — especially over changes in the assistant coaching ranks. Fisher, the offensive coordinator, receives $5 million from Florida State if he’s not the head coach by January 2011.

Skinner, Williams earn weekly awards GREENSBORO (AP) — Virginia Tech freshman Ryan Williams and Wake Forest senior Riley Skinner have received the Atlantic Coast Conference’s weekly awards.

The league on Monday

named Williams as its rookie of the week and Skinner as its offensive back of the week after their record-setting performances.

Williams scored four touchdowns against Virginia to tie the ACC

single-season record with 19 rushing TDs and set the scoring mark for freshmen with 20 touchdowns.

Skinner threw for a career-high 372 yards and a schoolrecord five touchdowns against Duke.

Broken finger could bench Delhomme CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A broken finger â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not coach John Fox â&#x20AC;&#x201D; may bench struggling Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme.

Fox said Monday that Delhomme fractured a finger on his throwing hand late in the fourth quarter of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss to the New York Jets and may be replaced by untested Matt Moore next week against Tampa Bay Delhomme threw four more interceptions against the Jets, completing only 14 of 34 passes for 130 yards with a passer rating of 12.7. The Panthers (4-7) didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score a touchdown in the 17-6 loss that virtually eliminated them from playoff contention.

Delhomme has a career-high 18 interceptions this season, tied with Detroit rookie Matthew Stafford for second-

BEASON ARRESTED

â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Carolina Panthers linebacker Jon Beason has been arrested on a misdemeanor assault charge stemming from an incident at a strip club.

The Mecklenburg County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office said Beason was arrested Monday afternoon and released on a written note to appear in court. most in the NFL behind Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jay Cutler (20). Fox considered benching Delhomme a month ago after he threw three picks in a loss to Buffalo, but decided against it.

Fox was again supportive of his belea-

guered QB on Monday, despite another game where he struggled with his accuracy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If his finger wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an issue, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t with a straight face make a change just with him,â&#x20AC;? Fox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a combined effort by the offensive players, not just one player. ... It was poor not just by the quarterback.â&#x20AC;?

Delhomme had an interception returned for a touchdown when Steve Smith ran the wrong route and Delhommeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pass bounced off his heel into the hands of Darrelle Revis, who raced 67 yards. Delhomme was also under pressure for most of the day and was sacked three times.

Fox said Delhomme was injured when his hand got hit while throwing a 24yard pass to Dwayne Jarrett on fourth-

Woods withdraws from tourney THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tiger Woods withdrew Monday from his own golf tournament, citing injuries from a car crash near his Florida home.

He said he would not compete again until next year.

Woods said in a statement on his Web site that his injuries prevented him from playing in the Chevron World Challenge. He was scheduled to hold a press conference Tuesday for the tournament, which he hosts annually for a small, invited, field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am extremely disappointed that I will not be at my tournament this week,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am certain it will be an outstanding event and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very sorry that I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be there.â&#x20AC;?

His decision to withdraw comes after a car crash left him with cuts and bruises when his SUV hit a fire hydrant and a tree early Friday outside his home in a gated Florida golf community. Woods was treated and released at a hospital after the accident, and has not been seen in public since.

By skipping the tournament, Woods will escape having to face TV cameras and a horde of media seeking more details about the smashup.

Woods released a statement Sunday saying the accident was his fault, but he did not address any of the questions still swirling around it.

He asked that it remain â&#x20AC;&#x153;a private matter,â&#x20AC;? but with the Florida Highway Patrol still investigating and the media in full pursuit, Woods may not get his way.

The Pirates have played their way to homefield advantage against No. 18 Houston in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Conference USA championship game, the first time the game has been played at Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. It marks the fourth straight season the program has accomplished a key goal that went unfulfilled the previous year, tangible proof that East Carolina isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t becoming stagnant amid its recent success under the fifth-year coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To keep the momentum of the program, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge,â&#x20AC;? Holtz said Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something the seniors

have looked at as this is their legacy that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re leaving. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s any doubt they have left (the program) much better than they found it.â&#x20AC;?

The same could be said of Holtz, who inherited a program that had lost 22 of 25 games â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with 19 coming by double-digit margins and seven by at least 33 points â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when he arrived after the 2004 season. The Pirates (84, 7-1 C-USA) have been on a steady ascent ever since, flirting with bowl eligibility his first season before reaching the postseason in 2006 and winning their bowl the following year.

Last season, the Pirates upset Virginia Tech and West Virginia early in the year to earn national rank-

ings before winning the C-USA East Division championship that had barely eluded them the previous two seasons. East Carolina went on to beat Tulsa on the road in the league title game, the first such championship for the program since winning the Southern Conference in 1976.

East Carolina earned a return trip to the league title game by beating Southern Mississippi in last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular-season finale.

With the best record in the league â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Houston won the West at 6-2 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Pirates will have homefield advantage as they try to become the first team to win consecutive C-USA titles since the league went to divisional play four years ago.

age of $2.93 million. The increase had not been that small since a 2.5 percent drop in 2004.

The World Series champion Yankees had by far the highest average at $7.66 million, topping the major leagues for the 11th consecutive season.

Six teams among the top eight by average salary made the postseason, joined by Colorado (15th at $2.93 million) and Minnesota (17th at $2.66 million).

Patrick signs Andretti extension NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Danica Patrick signed a three-year contract extension with Andretti Autosport on Monday, a deal that could pave the

way for the open-wheel starâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desired foray into NASCAR. JR Motorsports appears to be the most likely suitor in stock-car racing.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Serena Williams was fined a record $82,500 for her U.S. Open tirade and could be suspended from that tournament if she has another â&#x20AC;&#x153;major offenseâ&#x20AC;? at any Grand Slam in the next two years.

Grand Slam administrator Bill Babcockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling was released Monday, and he said Williams faces a â&#x20AC;&#x153;probationary periodâ&#x20AC;? at tennisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; four major championships in 2010 and 2011. If she has another â&#x20AC;&#x153;major offenseâ&#x20AC;? at a Grand Slam tournament in that time, the fine would increase to $175,000 and she would be barred from the following U.S. Open. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if she does not have another offense in the next two years, the suspension is lifted,â&#x20AC;?

Babcock said in a telephone interview from London.

and-14 with 2:25 left. Fox wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say which finger was broken, but said they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the severity of Delhommeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injury until Monday morning, when he was examined before Carolina watched the film of another ugly loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do a good enough job preparing them,â&#x20AC;? Fox said of the overall offensive performance, which produced only 179 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready to play and that starts with coaching, all the way down to the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; responsibility.â&#x20AC;?

Fox said Delhomme would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;hardpressedâ&#x20AC;? for Delhomme to take snaps at practice on Wednesday. That could leave Moore as Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starter for the first time since late in the 2007 season when Delhomme was recovering from elbow surgery.

Stocks extend month’s gains NEW YORK (AP) – The stock market closed out its best month since the summer, posting big gains for November even as investors worried about the strength of the holiday shopping season.

Stocks fluctuated through the day on Monday, but finished modestly higher as traders ultimately were not deterred by reports that retail sales were overall uninspiring during the Thanksgiving weekend.

Retailers including Macy’s Inc. and Saks Inc. fell sharply but online merchants like Amazon. com Inc. shot higher on reports of strong Internet sales.

Despite the tepid finish, the Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose more than 5 percent in November, their biggest monthly advance since July.

Investors might not be surprised that holi-

day sales are not robust because consumer confidence is low and unemployment is above 10 percent.

The Dow rose 34.92, or 0.3 percent, to 10,344.84.

The broader S&P 500 index rose 4.14, or 0.4 percent, to 1,095.63, and the Nasdaq composite index rose 6.16, or 0.3 percent, to 2,144.60.

Three stocks rose for every two that fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to a moderate 1.3 billion shares.

Bond prices were mixed. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 3.20 percent from 3.21 percent late Friday.

The yield on the three-month T-bill, considered one of the safest investments, rose to 0.06 percent from 0.01 percent.

The dollar fell against other major currencies, while gold rose.

into new loans with lower monthly payments. At the end of October, more than 650,000 borrowers, or 20 percent of those eligible, had signed up for trials lasting up to five months.

But getting homeowners to complete the process has been tough.

As of early Septem-

ber, only about 1,700 homeowners had finished all the paperwork and received a new permanent loan. Treasury officials projected Monday that 375,000 homeowners would hit the deadline to convert to permanent modifications – or fall out of the program – by yearend.

Government to reel in recovery money WASHINGTON (AP) – The Federal Reserve is taking steps to finetune a strategy to reel in some of the unprecedented amount of money that’s been pumped into the economy during the financial crisis.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York said Monday that investors and others shouldn’t read anything about the timing of when the central bank will need to reverse course and start boosting interest

rates and removing other supports to fend off inflation.

The upcoming operations will involve so-called reverse repurchase agreements. That’s when the Fed sells securities from its portfolio with an agreement to buy them back later.

Reverse repos are one of the tools the Fed can use to drain some of the money it has plowed into the economy to ease financial troubles.

GM to cut 354 jobs at plant near London LONDON – General Motors said Monday it will cut over 350 jobs at its Vauxhall van plant in the UK. The struggling motor manufacturer said it will speak to the 1,500 workers at its factory in Luton, 35 miles north of London about the cuts.

Court hears Vioxx lawsuit arguments WASHINGTON – Lawyers for Merck & Co. told the Supreme Court Monday investors waited too late and didn’t do all of the necessary investigations to sue the drug maker over whether it properly warned about the risks of its blockbuster painkiller Vioxx.

Whether the high court agrees with the drug maker will help clarify the legal standards for determining exactly when the clock starts running for the two-year window to sue a company accused of defrauding investors.

U.S. retailing fears weigh on world markets LONDON – European stock markets fell Monday amid concerns about the start of the Christmas shopping season in the U.S. and despite relief over the pledge from the United Arab Emirates’ central bank to back lenders exposed to Dubai’s debt problems.

China denies currency manipulation GENEVA (AP) – China rejected Monday the charge that it was keeping the yuan artificially low against the dollar, but rather blamed another “major economy” for keeping its own currency weak.

China’s trade minister Chen Deming didn’t mention a specific country by name, but was widely understood to be referring to the United States.

Many in the West blame Beijing for pegging the yuan at unfairly low rates to help exporters undersell foreign competitors in global markets. Critics say the currency control has aided China’s rapid rise

this decade as an export powerhouse, costing manufacturing companies and jobs in Europe and the United States.

The yuan’s low value against the dollar also distorts other foreign exchange rates, by causing the dollar to weaken against fee-floating currencies like the euro and pound.

Chen said criticism of China was unfair at a time when the stability of the yuan was contributing to global economic recovery, and noted that the currency has risen 20 percent in value since Beijing decided to loosen somewhat its peg to the dollar four years ago.

Microsoft starts planning Bing launch strategy SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – There’s an intriguing idea floating around the media: Microsoft Corp. wants to undercut Google so badly in Internet search that it might pay newspapers to withhold their content from Google.

Just don’t count on that turning into a lucrative plan for newspapers.

The unorthodox strategy faces stumbling blocks, starting with this one: Microsoft is unlikely to fund a Google boycott, according to three people familiar with Microsoft’s discussions with a variety of publishers.

That contradicts other

unnamed people who told the Financial Times and other newspapers that News Corp., the owner of The Wall Street Journal, is discussing a plan that would block Google from indexing its content in return for an unspecified payment from Microsoft.

The sources in the conflicting reports agree on one point: Microsoft is in talks with a wide range of media outlets, including The Associated Press, about ways that its search engine, Bing, might be able to showcase stories, photos and videos in a way that distinguishes it from Google.

Weaker dollar raises crude prices

AP

An Emarati man follows the latest stock changes at the Dubai Financial Market in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on Monday.

Official: Dubai World’s debt is its own DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) – The heavily indebted Dubai World is not guaranteed by the emirate’s government, a top financial official from the city state said Monday, offering little direction to anxious investors on a day when the United Arab Emirates registered a record fall on the back of Dubai’s debt mess.

On the first day of trading since news of Dubai World’s debt crunch became public, Dubai’s main stock exchange dropped more than 7 percent while the Abu Dhabi exchange fell more than 8

DILBERT

percent – the steepest fall in at least a year, according to brokers.

Driving the financial avalanche was Wednesday’s announcement that conglomerate Dubai World would seek an at least six month reprieve on its $60 billion in debts, obligations amassed during years of a building spree that turned the desert emirate into the Middle Eastern version of Las Vegas, Wall Street and, at times, Sodom and Gomorra, all rolled into one.

If markets were looking for reassurances from Dubai that it would stand behind

the conglomerate, they got none Monday.

“Dubai World was established as an independent company, it is true that the government is the owner, but given that the company has various activities and is exposed to various types of risks, the decision, since its establishment, has been that the company is not guaranteed by the (Dubai) government,” Abdulrahman al-Saleh, director general of Dubai’s Finance Department, said on Dubai TV.

NEW YORK – Oil prices inched higher Monday on lingering doubts over the global economic recovery and a weaker dollar.

By midday, oil prices rose 35 cents to $76.40 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Analysts warned that despite talk about the end of the recession and recovering markets, the level of global demand for oil was still uncertain.

Prices tumbled $1.61 on Friday and were down as much $5.57, or 7 percent, after Dubai’s investment arm, Dubai World, asked for a six-month reprieve on payments for about $60 billion in debt. The drop was the biggest decline in oil prices since April 20.

Ag futures higher, livestock mixed CHICAGO – Agriculture futures were mostly higher early Monday on the Chicago Board of Trade.

Wheat for March delivery jumped 14.25 cents to $5.84 a bushel; March corn gained 2.25 cents to $4.1575 a bushel; January soybeans gained 10.5 cents to $10.635 a bushel; and March oats were unchanged at $2.685 a bushel.

Meanwhile, beef futures rose as pork futures fell on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
