HIGH POINT – Local broadcasting legend Max Meeks will end his half-century career behind the microphone next month, it was announced Tuesday.

Meeks, longtime host of the “Max in the Morning� radio show on WMFR-AM in High Point, said his final broadcast will be Jan. 1. He said it “just seemed that the time was right� to retire after more than 12,000 shows in a career that spanned seven Meeks decades. “It’s been well over 50 years, and I just felt I was ready for it,� said Meeks, 84. “If I was 22 again, starting all over, I wouldn’t change a thing. I really do love the life and career I’ve had and am thankful God has blessed me in such a unique way.�

Meeks hosts a daily program beginning at 5:30 a.m. known for covering everything from issues of the day to local birthday and anniversary announcements, as well as support for various causes. “He’s just an outstanding professional and has a heart as big as the entire state,� said Ellen Cochran, executive director of the Mental Health Association of High Point, an organization for which Meeks hosted an onair fundraiser holiday auction for nearly 25 years. “Nobody has done more for the community than Max. He will be greatly, greatly missed.�

Meeks started at WMFR in 1947 in a summer fill-in position while he was a student at what was then High Point College. He left for a stint in the furniture business in the 1950s, but later returned to the station. Over the years, he served primarily as the morning drive-time host, as the station transitioned from a music format to a news-talk format.

Meeks was praised for developing a close bond with his audience, and noted that he enjoyed contact with his listeners and the support of good causes. “The industry has changed quite a bit, but I can’t tell that our listening audience has changed that much,� Meeks said. “From what we can tell, there has been a wide variety and a broad range of people in ages.�

Tom Hamilton, general manager of the Curtis Media Group radio stations in Winston-Salem and High Point, said he’s come to learn important lessons from working alongside Meeks since 2000. “After listening to ‘Max In The Morning’ for nearly a decade prior to working with him, I quickly came to realize the very essence of all WMFR stood for in the community was embodied in this gentleman,� Hamilton said.

Cochran said Meeks’ work with the MHA’s auction was an example of this, as he described the items being auctioned on the air. “Max’s personality is what carried that. He would encourage people to call,� she said. “He did it out of a desire to help the community and help our organization.�

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Most major retailers in High Point said they met the crucial sales goals of the anticipated Black Friday – a sign that the rest of the shopping season may fare well, or, at least not any worse than last year. “It’s the turn of the season for retailers, said Robert Hayes, store manager for Kmart at 2850 S. Main St. “If Black Friday is good, the rest of the season will be good. If it is bad, the rest will be bad.�

According to the National Retail Federation, more shoppers ventured out on what is typically the busiest shopping day of the year, but they also spent less. Shoppers spent about $343.31 per person on Black Friday, down from $372.57 a year ago, the NRF reported.

Large retailers, including Kmart, Target and Oak Hollow Mall, had lines of customers waiting outside of their doors Friday morning. Hayes, who had about 500 customers waiting outside of his store at 5 a.m., said sales were flat with last year’s Black Friday.

And that’s a good thing. “Being flat (in sales) is good

Hayes said. “We’re hoping sales will be the same as last year, but they will probably be a little less.�

Vickee Armstrong, general manager of Oak Hollow Mall, reiterated Hayes’ appreciation for flat sales during a year that was unkind to most retailers. “Any less worse (sales figures) are a good thing,� she said. “I think there will continue to be less bad news, which will give us a good shopping season that is comparable to last year.�

Anchor stores at Oak Hollow, including Belk, JC Penney and Sears, opened at 4 a.m. on Friday with special promotions and door busters that may have increased traffic at the mall, Armstrong said. “On Black Friday, I circle the mall every 30 minutes from the

time we open until 10 a.m.,� she said. “What I’m looking for are the number of shoppers in groups and the number of bags. This year, there was more traffic, and there were bags everywhere.�

Hayes said he expects shoppers to trim their budgets this year, but parents will always buy for their children. “Parents seem to be cutting back on items for themselves, but kids seem to be getting the same amount of presents this year,� he said. “The kids will always get taken care of first.�

Both Kmart, Target and stores at the mall reported big sales in electronics. “From video games to portable DVD players and MP3 players, everybody still wants all of that stuff,� Hayes said. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Year-round calendar dropped at Oak Hill Elementary

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

PERFORMANCE

GUILFORD COUNTY – Oak Hill Elementary School students will start next year with a different schedule.

The Guilford County Board of Education voted unanimously Tuesday to drop the year-round calendar at the High Point school to improve student performance and attendance. Students will start in August next year instead of July.

Regional Superintendent Angelo Kidd offered the recommendation based on parent and teacher surveys showing that 55 percent of the parents who responded preferred a traditional calendar.

The school has used the yearround schedule for more than 10 years, but in recent years school attendance and performance have suffered. The school is on the district’s list of low-performing schools.

The school averages about 17 absent students a day, but on days when traditional school students are off for, there can be as many as 40. A count this year showed en-

List: These High Point area schools are among the district’s 10 low-performing schools: Fairview Elementary, Oak Hill Elementary, Montlieu Math and Science Academy, Parkview Elementary and T. Wingate Andrews High School. rollment increased from 351 to 384 after Labor Day. “We think many of those 33 students may have missed six weeks of school,” Kidd said.

Principal Sara Roberts acknowledged that some parents don’t bring their children to school until after their siblings at other schools have completed summer vacation.

“Some of them travel to other states,” she said.

The year-round calendar starts in July and offers several breaks before ending in June. Each session is about nine weeks.

Last year, only 24 percent of Oak Hill students passed both the state’s math and reading exams.

“This score concerns me,” said

Sandra Alexander, an at-large board member. “It has to be one of the lowest. We also need other strategies.”

Oak Hill has one of the most diverse enrollments in the county.

Students, 99 percent of whom are enrolled in free and reduced meal programs, speak 17 different languages ranging from English to Spanish and several Middle-Eastern languages, Roberts said.

Nancy Routh, the board’s other at-large member, agreed that the school should provide more support for the students. Students keep their own performance data notebooks to show where they need help, Kidd said.

“The teachers are working hard,” Kidd said. “We think those notebooks will make a difference in building ownership.”

The board also voted unanimously to keep the year-round schedule at Hampton Academy in Greensboro for next year, at the end of which performance will be reviewed. The school has many of the same problems as Oak Hill. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3526

High Point Road reopens in Jamestown

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

JAMESTOWN – Work crews have opened High Point Road for traffic in Jamestown.

The road section had been closed for rebuilding the landmark railroad overpass on High Point Road. No part of the old overpass remains.

The road was reopened Monday and drivers no longer have to use detours, Guilford Technical Com-

munity College officials reported Tuesday.

Since Feb. 2, drivers had to use a 2.6-mile detour around downtown Jamestown to get to the college campus, Ragsdale High School, Millis Road Elementary School and Ragsdale Middle School.

The construction and the road closing created morning and afternoon traffic jams while the schools were in session.

At least 12,000 vehicles had been using the un-

derpass daily, according to figures from the N.C. Department of Transportation. The traffic count showed about 15,000 vehicles were using the major intersection of High Point Road, Jametown’s Main Street, at Guilford Road each day.

Motorists going east toward Greensboro had used Guilford Road and Guilford College Road. Drivers going to Jamestown from Greensboro had to exit onto Guilford College

Road and then onto Guilford Road to go into downtown Jamestown.

The overpass, much of it built with timbers, was part of an improvement project on 9 miles of the Norfolk Southern Railway tracks between Greensboro and High Point. The cost of rebuilding the overpass was set at $1.7 million, which was a part of the $21 million price tag for the entire project. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Robert Ware, manager of the Asheboro Division of the ESC, said stabilization is a good sign in current economic conditions.

“It’s a positive sign that the increase is not as significant as it has been earlier in the year,” he said. “We do have to be cautious that we may see some increases in the next few months as part of a normal, seasonal increase that occurs each year.”

N.C. utility to close 11 older coal plants RALEIGH (AP) – Progress Energy will close 11 coal-burning power plants in North Carolina that don’t have scrubbers by 2017, the Raleigh electric utility said Tuesday.

The units near Wilmington, Moncure, Lumberton and Goldsboro

represent about 30 percent of the company’s power generation from coal. The company will continue to operate three coal-fired plants in North Carolina after 2017 that are equipped with emission controls at a cost of more than $2 billion.

RANDOLPH COUNTY – The N.C. State Bureau of Investigation has concluded its probe into the death of a UNC Chapel Hill student who was fatally shot in August by an Archdale police officer, the N.C. Attorney General’s Office said Tuesday.

Noelle Talley, a spokeswoman for the attorney general, said SBI agents delivered their investigative report to the Randolph County District Attorney’s Office on Nov. 16. “When the SBI completes an investigation, the standard procedure is for the SBI to deliver

its findings to the district attorney, and the DA then makes a decision about whether or not to bring charges,� Talley said.

Randolph County Assistant District Attorney Andrew Gregson and Archdale police Chief Darrell Gibbs could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

On Aug. 23, 21-year-old Courtland Smith, a UNC Chapel Hill fraternity president, was stopped on Interstate 85 in Randolph County by two Archdale police officers. Before being stopped by police, Smith had called 911 asking for police assistance and telling a dispatcher he was suicidal, armed

with a 9 mm pistol and driving drunk at speeds of up to 110 mph.

Smith “got out of the car and made a suggestive move toward his pocket which the police interpreted as a move to get a gun,� according to a medical examiner’s report released with the autopsy findings. Officer Jeremy Paul Flinchum then fired on Smith, who was pronounced dead at a local hospital a short time later.

A recording of Smith’s 911 call ends with an officer yelling for him to stay in his car before Smith tells police he had to “pull something out.�

It remains unclear from

the tape as well as police radio traffic recordings whether Smith displayed a weapon to officers. Authorities have not said whether he was armed and the autopsy reports released do not say whether Smith had a gun.

A recording of the traffic stop from dashboard video cameras in two police cars has been sealed by a judge pending the completion of a N.C. State Bureau of Investigation probe into the shooting.

Toxicology tests revealed that the alcohol content of his blood was .22 percent, confirming that he was intoxicated at the time of his death, according to the autopsy.

Domestic dispute leads to assault charge

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A Davidson County man faces an aggravated assault charge after sheriff’s deputies responded to a domestic dispute.

Officers responded to a Gumtree Road residence in northern Davidson County and found that Richard Bober Jr. and a woman at the home had been in a verbal altercation.

Deputies said Bober called the woman’s father to come pick her up, and when he arrived, Bober and the

victim got into a physical altercation in which he allegedly cut the victim with a kitchen knife, according to the sheriff’s office. The victim sustained non-lifethreatening injuries.

Bober, 25, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and communicating threats and was jailed under a $25,000 bond, according to the sheriff’s office.

He has an appearance set for Jan. 6 in Davidson County District Court.

In an unrelated case, a man faces theft and

fraud charges after an investigation by the sheriff’s office.

Detectives began investigating an alleged forgery of a check on Nov. 12 and last week, made an arrest in the case.

Investigators charged Christopher James Ackerman, 35, of Copeland Drive, Lexington, with one count

of misdemeanor larceny and one felonious count of uttering a forged instrument, according to the sheriff’s office.

Ackerman was jailed under a $1,000 bond and has an appearance scheduled for Dec. 14 in Davidson County District Court. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Netanyahu: Settlement freeze only temporary JERUSALEM – Israel’s prime minister emphasized Tuesday that his 10-month freeze on new housing in the West Bank is a one-time measure that will not be extended.

Palestinians had already rejected Benjamin Netanyahu’s moratorium as inadequate, because it allows about 3,000 homes already under construction to be completed and does not include Jewish neighborhoods in east Jerusalem, claimed by Palestinians as their future capital.

Iran warns it could prosecute British yachtsmen TEHRAN, Iran – Iran warned on Tuesday it will prosecute five British sailors if it is proven they had “bad intentions� when their 60-foot racing yacht entered its waters, in what Britain says was an innocent case of a vessel accidentally going astray in the Gulf.

London was trying to keep the incident from getting tangled up in politics – not only in the rancor between Tehran and the West over Iran’s nuclear issue but also the country’s own internal postelection turmoil, which has pumped up the leadership’s fears of foreign plots.

Ousted Honduran leader urges vote rejection TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras – Deposed Honduran President Manuel Zelaya sent a letter to divided Latin American leaders Tuesday urging them to reject elections held under the coup-installed government and help restore him to power. “I ask you not to recognize the electoral fraud and for your cooperation so that this coup d’etat does not remain unpunished,� the leftist leader said in a letter released from the Brazilian Embassy, where he is holed up under threat of arrest.

Iran considers reducing ties to U.N. nuke body TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that Tehran is reviewing the option of decreasing cooperation with the U.N. nuclear watchdog after it issued a resolution critical of Iran last week.

Speaking in a live television interview late Tuesday, Ahmadinejad also criticized Russia’s support for International Atomic Energy Agency’s resolution, calling it a mistake.

“Friendly relations with the agency are over. We will cooperate as much as they offer us compromises. We are reviewing this,� he said.

The sharply worded IAEA resolution on Friday demanded Iran halt all uranium enrichment and stop construction of a newly discovered nuclear facility near the Iranian city of Qom. Iran responded by saying it would build even more such facilities.

North Korean currency reform sparks chaos SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea has revalued its currency for the first time in a half century, reportedly triggering chaos in the impoverished nation by moving to assert state control over a growing market economy.

North Korea revalued its currency – known as the won – at an exchange rate between old and new notes of 100 to 1, China’s Xinhua news agency said in a dispatch from Pyongyang.

The paper says the mother fell asleep as she fed the child in business class and that the flight was diverted to London’s Heathrow Airport.

Scotland Yard says the child was taken off the flight to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Police recently announced they had arrested three members of a murder ring who confessed to killing five people, extracting their fat and selling it to cosmetics companies in Europe.

PARIS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at President George W. Bush last year had a taste of his own medicine Tuesday when he nearly got beaned by a shoe thrower at a news conference in Paris.

Muntadhar al-Zeidi ducked and the shoe hit the wall behind him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He stole my technique,â&#x20AC;?he later quipped.

The identity of the new shoe-thrower â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and his motivation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately clear.

KABUL (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A top Afghan military official said Tuesday that a key part of President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new war plan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; accelerating the training of Afghan soldiers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; does not go far enough to meet the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense needs.

Obama plans to dispatch 30,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan over six months â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an accelerated timetable with a built-in endgame â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that would have the first fresh Marines on the ground as early as Christmas, a senior administration official told The Associated Press. Obama also will ask NATO allies to contribute 5,000 to 10,000 new troops to the separate international force in Afghanistan, diplomats said.

Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan emphasizes stepped-up training for Afghan forces, a goal aimed at speeding the handover of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s security to Afghan security forces.

Lt. Gen. William B. Caldwell, the new head of a U.S.-NATO command responsible for training and developing Afghan soldiers and police, said Tuesday that although the groundwork is being laid to expand the Afghan National Army beyond the current target of 134,000 troops by Oct. 31, 2010, no fixed higher target has been set.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; John â&#x20AC;&#x153;Juniorâ&#x20AC;? Gotti is free after a federal jury failed to reach a verdict against the son of the notorious Gambino crime family mob boss.

A smiling Gotti walked out of the same Manhattan courthouse where his previous three racketeering trials also ended with hung juries.

The anonymous jurors deliberated 11 days before notifying the judge on Tuesday they were hopelessly deadlocked.

Prosecutors accused Gotti of ordering gangland hits to settle scores despite insisting heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d gone straight.

Gotti claimed he quit the mob in the 1990s.

Police officers investigate the scene of a white car where suspect Maurice Clemmons was found and killed by a police officer in Seattle on Tuesday morning.

Seattle police kill suspect in officer slayings SEATTLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A lone officer on patrol in the middle of the night Tuesday spotted a stolen car, its hood up and engine running, and pulled over to check it out. As the patrolman sat in his cruiser, a burly man with a large mole on his cheek came up from behind.

The officer turned, stepped outside and recognized the most wanted man in the Pacific Northwest â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the ex-con accused of gunning down four cops at a coffee shop.

Moments later, Maurice Clem-

mons, 37, lay dead in the street, shot by the patrolman after Clemmons made a move for a gun he had taken from one of the slain officers, police said.

Clemmonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; death brought to an end two days of fear across the Seattle-Tacoma area and one of the biggest manhunts the region has ever seen. Dozens of police officers milled around at the scene afterward, some solemnly shaking hands and patting each other on the back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good thing he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to get the gun out here or we might

Six to seven of those associates were being arrested Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The White House will make at least one change to its screening practices for invitation-only events after an attention-hungry couple was able to crash the Obama administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first state dinner.

The White House social office will go back to making sure that one of its staff members will be present at the gates to help the Secret Service if questions come up, the first ladyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communication director Camille Johnston said Tuesday.

While Johnston maintained that this has been an existing policy, the White House and Secret Service have said that no such person was present last week as guests arrived for the dinner. Secret Service spokesman Malcolm Wiley said the plan for the dinner did not call for a social office employee to be at the gate, but that agents also didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call the office to ask for assistance or clarification.

The Secret Service has taken the blame for letting the couple in without an invitation.

An administration official said Tuesday evening that a senior Pentagon official did try to get the Virginia couple, Tareq and Michaele Salahi, access to the White House state dinner, but later told them in a voice mail that she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get them in.

Obama’s administration is about grabbing power Well, I hope all our politically correct, liberal fruit cakes are now happy. Now our military bases are not even safe. If someone sees a terrorist nut spouting off about killing Americans, they’re afraid to speak up because they’re afraid of losing their job (if they are lucky enough to have one). Then they are called racist, prejudiced and all that liberal crap. Terrorists are no longer terrorists.

Criminals are not criminals, and people who rape and kill children are made out to be victims.

As long as we keep our backs turned and heads buried where they are, all the mean scum will turn good. Oh, sure.

Ever wonder why someone who doesn’t even like the USA wants to be president? Is bowing down and sucking up to other countries while he talks trash about the one he is supposed to be president of what we need? Truth is, he wants to be King Obama. Everything he has done from the stimulus joke to car companies, banks and this junk health bill is all power grab.

With his current administration and some over-educated, so-wellinformed followers, who knows?

Is it ignorance or some too sorry to take care of their own lives?

Ever notice President Obama doesn’t want any of his Muslim sidekicks tried by the military as they should be? Could it be he is afraid they may get what they well-deserve? Now go ahead and

CRN needs community commitment

W

hen you read about what the fledgling Community Resource Network is attempting to do – provide a more efficient and more effective method of providing assistance to the poor – the slap-on-the-head action from V-8 commercials comes to mind.

Why didn’t we (the High Point community) think of this before. Well, maybe we did think – even talk – about it before, but until Davis S. Miller and Open Door Ministries stepped up, nothing was done. They have organized a network effort that should allow eight local agencies to do much more than apply the “Band Aid” approach to serving those in need.

CRN, which has been in operation since Sept. 1 and hopes to connect and document services provided in eight sites around the city through a computer data base program by Jan. 1, 2010, has divided the city into regions, each of which is to be served by a particular network member. In addition to Open Door, the network includes Helping Hands Ministries, Hope Outreach Center, Macedonia Family Resource Center, The Salvation Army of High Point, Sincerely Agape, Southern Triad Mission at Ward Street Mission and West End Ministries. CRN is concentrating on three areas of emergency need – nonperishable food assistance, rent/mortgage assistance and utility assistance.

The process calls for each network member to serve individuals who reside (even if they are in a “camp” for homeless) in its region. While five of the agencies currently provide food and financial assistance and two currently provide only food, one of CRN’s short-term goals is to have all network members to provide food assistance to specific geographical areas at least on a weekly basis.

But CRN isn’t stopping, or even slowing down, there.

Other CRN objectives are to: (1) raise additional funds to be distributed by emergency assistance sites by April 2010; (2) increase food donations to network organizations; (3) connect and document computer services; (4) decrease the number of evictions in 2010; and (5) decrease the number of utility cutoffs in 2010.

The ultimate goal is for relationships to develop between clients and the CRN network agency in their region of the city so that, together, they can determine and address crisis causes and clients can be moved toward self-sufficiency.

That’s a noble goal, indeed, but one that will be attainable only if CRN gets commitment from the community. That, folks, is the part you play.

lions of tax dollars through NASA and every field of science trying to prove evolution, the latest effort being crushing rockets into the moon in search of water. If they find water, they have only their imaginations as to how water got there. “Through faith, we understand the worlds were framed [put together and held together] by the word of God” (Hebrews 11:3).

“Upholding all things by the word of His power” (Hebrews 1:3). And “by Him all things consist” (Colossians 1:16,17).

If there’s water on the moon, God arranged it. Two hundred years and billions of dollars and evolution has not been proved true and never will be, and trying to prove special creation wrong has never been done and likewise never will. Which one would

qualify as being truth? That which can’t be proved true or that which can’t be proved wrong?

It takes only common sense or any branch of science to prove evolution wrong. No man can prove God doesn’t exist; but to those who put their faith in God, He always proves Himself faithful. The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God (I Corinthians 1:20). “Because they did not like to retain God in their knowledge … they became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened,” and they wasted time and money on foolish things such as evolution and climate control (Romans 1:21,28).

God still controls the weather.

Should law enforcement officers assigned to Guilford County Schools continue to carry Tasers? In 30 words or less, e-mail your thoughts (no name, address required) to letterbox@hpe.com.

Here are two responses: • While our schools argue about the use of Tasers on the “children,” the “children” are accused of using real guns to commit armed robbery/attempted murder!

Because the loan was insured by the Federal Housing Administration.

The bank wasn’t taking any risk. If the three guys defaulted, the bank could always collect the money from the Federal Housing OPINION Administration. The only risk was to the taxpayers.

Thomas Does the Federal HousSowell ing Administration have ■■■ unlimited money to bail out bad loans? Actually there have been so many defaults that the FHA’s own reserves have dropped below where they are supposed to be.

But not to worry. There will always be taxpayers, not to mention future generations to pay off the national debt.

Very few people are likely to connect the dots back to those members of Congress who voted for bigger mortgage guarantees and bailouts by the FHA. So the congressmen’s and the bureaucrats’ jobs are safe, even if millions of other people’s jobs are not.

Congressman Barney Frank is not about to cut back on risky mortgage loan guarantees by the FHA. He recently announced that he plans to introduce legislation to raise the limit on FHA loan guarantees even more.

Congressman Frank will make himself popular with people who get those loans and with banks that make these highrisk loans where they can pocket the profits and pass the risk on to the FHA. So long as the taxpayers don’t understand that all this political generosity and compassion are at their expense, Frank is an odds-on favorite to get reelected. The man is not stupid.

What is stupid is believing that politicians are trying to solve our problems, instead of theirs.

As for the FHA running low on money, that is not about to stop the gravy train, certainly not with an election coming up in 2010. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is also running low on money. But that is not going to stop them from insuring bank accounts up to a quarter of a million dollars. It would be stupid for them to stop with an election coming up in 2010.

YOUR VIEW POLL

Whose problems are politicians trying to solve? o one will really understand politics until they understand that politicians are not trying to solve our problems. They are trying to solve their own problems – of which getting elected and re-elected are No. 1 and No. 2. Whatever is No. 3 is far behind.

Many of the things the government does that may seem stupid are not stupid at all, from the standpoint of the elected officials or bureaucrats who do these things.

The current economic downturn that has cost millions of people their jobs began with successive administrations of both parties pushing banks and other lenders to make mortgage loans to people whose incomes, credit history and inability or unwillingness to make a substantial down payment on a house made them bad risks.

Was that stupid? Not at all. The money that was being put at risk was not the politicians’ money, and in most cases was not even the government’s money.

Moreover, the jobs that are being lost by the millions are not the politicians’ jobs – and jobs in the government’s bureaucracies are increasing.

No one pushed these reckless mortgage lending policies more than U.S. Rep. Barney Frank, who brushed aside warnings about risk, and said in 2003 that he wanted to “roll the dice” even more in the housing markets. But it would be very rash to bet against Frank’s getting re-elected in 2010.

After the cascade of economic disasters that began in the housing markets in 2006 and spread into the financial markets in Wall Street and even overseas, people in the private sector pulled back. Banks stopped making so many risky loans. Home buyers began buying homes they could afford, instead of going out on a limb with “creative”– and risky – financing schemes to buy homes that were beyond their means.

But politicians went directly in the opposite direction. In the name of “rescuing” the housing market, Congress passed laws enabling the Federal Housing Administration to insure more and bigger risky loans – loans where there is less than a 4 percent down payment.

A recent news story told of three young men who chipped in a total of $33,000 to buy a home in San Francisco that cost nearly a million dollars. Why would a bank lend that kind of money to them on such a small down payment?

Health care proposal provides backdoor amnesty for illegals

P

resident Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national health care bill mandates that employers must provide health coverage to all employees.

This proposal would seemingly include coverage for tens of millions of illegal immigrants. This is an outrage.

There are close to 60 million illegal immigrants in this country. Effectively forcing Americans to subsidize cradle-to-grave health care costs for these people would cost U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars annually, while further incentivizing illegal immigration. This is a public policy nightmare.

Moreover, it would do so at a time where nearly every American citizen is struggling for their ecoOPINION nomic well being. During Armstrong his campaign Williams run, Obama promised that his health care proposal would not benefit illegal aliens. Yet that is precisely what his current proposal would accomplish by forcing employers to cover illegal citizens who

This is no different than if President Obama levied an illegal alien health tax on the public. This cannot go unnoticed. In these difficult economic times, it is a slap in the face to American citizens to force them to underwrite health care for the illegal aliens who are taking their jobs.

Obama orders 30,000-troop boost in Afghanistan WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) – Declaring “our security is at stake,” President Barack Obama ordered an additional 30,000 U.S. troops into the long war in Afghanistan on Tuesday night, nearly tripling the force he inherited but promising an impatient public to begin withdrawal in 18 months.

The buildup will begin almost immediately – the first Marines will be in place by Christmas – and will cost $30 billion for the first year alone.

In a prime-time speech at the U.S. Military Academy, the president told the nation his new policy was designed to “bring this war to a successful conclusion,” though he made no mention of defeating Taliban insurgents or capturing al-Qaida terrorist leader Osama bin Laden.

Cadets listen as President Barack Obama speaks about the war in Afghanistan at the U.S. Military Academy at West “We must deny al-Qaida Point, N.Y., Tuesday. a safe haven,” Obama said in spelling out U.S. military goals for a war that has dragged on for eight years. “We must reverse the Taliban’s momentum.

... And we must strengthen the capacity of Afghanistan’s security forces and government.”

Obama said the addition-

were attacked on 9/11, and it is from here that new attacks are being plotted as I speak,” the president said.

Troops, families mixed over Afghan surge JACKSONVILLE (AP) – Battle-weary troops and their families braced for a wrenching round of new deployments to Afghanistan announced Tuesday by the president, but many said they support the surge as long as it helps to end the eightyear-old conflict.

Soldiers, Marines and their families interviewed

by The Associated Press felt a tangle of fresh concerns and renewed hopes.

“All I ask that man to do, if he is going to send

them over there, is not send them over in vain,” said 57-year-old Bill Thomas of Jacksonville, who watched Obama’s televised speech in his living room, where photos of his three sons in uniform hang over the TV. An ex-Marine himself, Thomas said that he supports Obama’s new strategy, but wishes the president had moved more quickly.

“It is too late,” Thomas said. “They should have already been gone.”

Thomasville police begin annual drive for needy families

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Thomasville police officers are continuing their annual tradition of buying toys for needy families this Christmas.

Capt. James Mills said the in-house toy drive, which started Nov. 24 and ends Dec. 15, has become quite a competition around the Thomasville Police Department. The toys will be given to Cooperative Community Ministry, which will dispense the items to needy families.

For “each squad or division within the police department, there is a challenge between each shift to put some toys underneath the tree,” Mills said. “Last year, we gave four or five bicycles. We collected enough toys last year to probably give at least 100 children toys for Christmas.”

Thomasville police officers have been asked

by Mills, who has coordinated the toy drive for several years, to donate at least one new unwrapped toy toward the cause. Just like the law enforcement agency does every year, the police department has placed a Christmas tree in its main lobby.

‘Sometimes the officers are on the front lines of seeing the actual need inside the home.’

Capt. James Mills Thomasville Police Department “Our officers realize the need is great,” Mills said.

“There are so many people out of work and unemployed ... The officers realize that need because a lot of times they are working Christmas and they go to some of these homes and they see homes that don’t have a Christmas tree or homes that have a Christmas tree, but nothing under it.

“Sometimes the officers are on the front lines of seeing the actual need inside the home. Some of the officers try to get together and they’ll take out of their own pocket and do it collectively as a shift, and try to buy a bicycle, a couple bikes, footballs, or baby dolls. We try to make it a little bit competitive inside the department to

Under its community policing strategy, the police department has about 150 stuffed animals left over from last Christmas, Mills said. Those stuffed animals continue to be

given away to children who come with their parents to the police department or when an officer sees a child at the scene of a traumatizing event, Mills said.

Mills said that his law enforcement agency is not asking for community support with the inhouse toy drive, but those

wishing to make contributions to the Thomasville Police Department can do so by sending a check c/o the Thomasville Police Department’s Benevolent Fund to the Thomasville Police Department, located at 7 W. Guilford St. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Thanksgiving feed deemed rousing success

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – About 3,700 free holiday meals were served on Thanksgiving Day in an outreach effort

by His Laboring Few Biker Ministries, Carter Brothers Barbecue and Ribs and other businesses, foundations and volunteers.

Organizers termed it a success, with most of the meals delivered to shut-ins and the elderly in the High Point area, and a sizable number of people coming to Carter Brothers’ N.

‘It’s really been a blessing to see how the community comes together.’

Steve Ervin Pastor, His Laboring Few Main Street restaurant for the free dinner.

“It’s really been a blessing to see how the community comes together.

People that can’t be there

in person, they help monetarily or with turkeys,” said Steve Ervin, pastor of His Laboring Few. “It is the Lord that provides, and we want to acknowledge that.”

Organizers are planning the same thing for Christmas Day. The Thanksgiving meal involved about 400 turkeys that were cooked, and Ervin said they expect to use about the same amount for the Dec. 25 meal.

They’re also in need of “all kinds of supplies, and of course, monetary dona-

tions are appreciated,” he said.

“We really want to thank everybody. We had volunteers that were continuous throughout the night and day, so it worked out real well. The volunteers were tremendous,” Ervin said.

“Usually, we have a few more meals on Christmas than we do Thanksgiving and usually less volunteers.”

Other preparations for the Christmas meal involve more fundraising.

“We’re trying to raise $40,000.

We’ve raised

$26,000 and spent $19,000 on Thanksgiving,” said High Point Realtor Ed Price, who also helps with the effort. “We’ll be in great shape. It always works out.”

Those who wish to donate for the Christmas meal preparations are asked to make checks out to His Laboring Few Ministries and send them to 812 Martin Luther King Drive, Thomasville, NC 27360 or 1220 N. Main St., High Point, NC 27262. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

United Way anticipates campaign shortfall ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – The United Way of Greater High Point is expecting a significant shortfall in its 2009 campaign, organization officials told The High Point Enterprise.

Economic conditions have caused some annual donors and corporate contributors to withhold support this year, according to President Bobby Smith. He estimates about a $300,000 shortfall without those contributions.

The campaign is about 75 percent complete, but Smith said its

‘We knew this was going to be a challenging year and that our goal was going to be a stretch.’

was going to be a stretch,” he said.

“We wanted to tell the community about our shortfall at this time in case anyone hasn’t planned their end of the year giving.”

Smith said the organization had raised the same amount last year at this time, but it also had more expected contributions then.

Last year’s goal was $4.6 milBobby Smith lion, slightly less than the 2009 United Way president campaign’s $4.5 million goal. “If we don’t reach our goal, it’s just compounding what is already a usual resources are exhausted.

“We knew this was going to be a challenging situation for our partchallenging year and that our goal ner agencies,” he said. “They’ve

been cut in funding for the last two years in a row, and most of them will tell you that their client numbers have increased by double digits.”

Smith said any campaign donation, whether great or small, would be appreciated.

“We recently had a day care collect $900 in pennies for us, and we’re excited about that,” he said.

“That puts it in perspective.”

State House memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bar hearing delayed RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A disciplinary hearing by the North Carolina State Bar examining alleged misconduct by a state House member has been delayed.

The chairman of a panel that will listen to the case of Rep. Nick Mackey agreed to delay the hearing previously scheduled to begin Thursday.

Woman fears loving new family too much D

ear Abby: I am a 30-year-old woman who has recently discovered my biological family. I have a wonderful half- brother and several other amazing people I can now call family.

The issue Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m struggling with is my profound attraction to my half-brother. I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s morally wrong, and I may be confusing the newfound relationship with him. Your perspective would be very much appreciated. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Conflicted in Southern California Dear Conflicted: Physical attraction is a reflex â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and not something we can control. Our BEHAVIOR, on the other hand, is something we CAN control.

This is a case of wrong time, wrong place. If you had been a member of the royal family in Egypt 3,000 years ago, you could have married your halfbrother and continued the dynasty. But this is 2009 and the USA, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just going to have to satisfy your physical attraction with someone less incestuous.

Dear Abby: Is it rude to label oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leftover food when staying with relatives? My husband, daughter and I visit his family often. When we go out to eat and bring leftovers back to the house, we usually label them if we want to eat them later.

It has never seemed out of the ordinary to me.

I was raised that way.

My mother ADVICE always said that if I Dear didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want Abby something â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; eaten by one of my siblings, then I should label it.

Recently, my husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister (who is 16) asked if she could eat the rest of some pizza we had bought the night before. I politely responded that I planned to have it for lunch. She remarked that she thinks it is funny that we are so protective of our food.

It got me to thinking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is our behavior odd? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Taken Aback in Washington Dear Taken Aback: Considering that you come from a family in which anything in the fridge was considered fair game among your siblings, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not odd at all. And when your sisterin-law said what she did, you should have explained that to her. Had you done so, she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have questioned it.

Dear Abby: My 20-year-old daughter, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marissa,â&#x20AC;? is self- centered, lies compulsively and does not consider the consequences of

her actions. She has been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder. We have just learned that she is now pregnant, and her father and I are not happy about it.

We will eventually be meeting the parents of the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father. Is it our responsibility to discuss Marissaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems with them? Or should we keep our mouths shut and pretend we are happy? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Trying to Decide in Wisconsin Dear Trying to Decide: Does the young man know about your daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diagnosis and what it means? If not, then HE should be told and the implications explained to him.

Because your daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personality disorder will affect their son and the grandchild, his parents should also be informed. Ideally, he is the person who should do it. But if he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, lay all the cards on the table because the other grandparents should be prepared.

And no, you do not have to â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretendâ&#x20AC;? to be happy about the situation. And neither do they.

CASH FOR GOLD

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; North Carolina is breaking the Medicaid budget lawmakers approved this summer because more people need health insurance coverage after losing their jobs and are getting treated for swine flu, an agency leader said Tuesday.

State spending for the government health insurance program for low-income families and senior citizens â&#x20AC;&#x201C; along with the disabled â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is $160 million over budget so far this fiscal year as expenditures have surged nearly 9 percent compared to a year ago, Health and Human Services Secretary Lanier Cansler said.

While Cansler is hopeful moneysaving measures will take effect

by Jan. 1 and level off the spending increases, he said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible the extra spending could extend $200 million above the $2.3 billion budgeted for the Division of Medical Assistance to treat 1.6 million Medicaid enrollees in North Carolina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some things that we just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control,â&#x20AC;? Cansler said in an interview.

This overspending is

on top of a nearly $100 million state revenue shortfall so far this fiscal year due to the poor economy and $500 million in Medicaid cuts that lawmakers also required the department to squeeze out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The claims experience and expenditures for the first five months of this fiscal year (raise) great concerns about the ability to achieve the Medicaid budget established by the General Assembly earlier this year,â&#x20AC;? according to an analysis performed by Canslerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department.

The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic conditions and 11 percent unemployment rate has led to higher-thanexpected enrollment increases, according to the analysis, which said the state may have to spend $72 million more than budgeted to cover another 18,000 patients.

The average Medicaid enrollee also is using 4 percent more in medical services than budgeted, the report said.

In addition, more Medicaid patients also have gotten the flu than was projected, which could cost the state $13 million in patient treatments more by next summer.

nnie Stroud Nesbitt was born in a time (1942) and a place (Rutherfordton) when children had to be protected.

Thankfully, her mother was up to the task.

At age 11, when Nesbitt was babysitting for a family, the father came home early without his wife and began fondling her. Nesbitt told him that if he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop immediately, she would tell her mother and her mother would kill him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He ABOVE believed me AND because my BEYOND mom had a reputation Patty Jo in town. She Sawvel protected â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; herself and her children,â&#x20AC;? Nesbitt said.

Rebecca Stroud protected her six children by carrying a licensed pearl-handled pistol in her purse and a switchblade in her bosom. She once had a shootout with the town terror who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take no for an answer. No one was hurt, but her reputation was greatly enhanced.

However, Nesbittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just protect her offspringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honor after her husband abandoned her.

She also protected their well-being. She worked in the hospital laundry, cleaned houses for white folks, hosted weekend fish fries, and sold white lightning. And, she taught her children how to work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Momma came home, the house had better be cleaned and the food cooked. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you twice. If you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it, you got a beating,â&#x20AC;? Nesbitt recalled.

Corporal punishment was also employed to inculcate the two basic moral values of the house: You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lie, and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t steal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember the one time I stole. My mom beat me and then made me walk in the dark to my auntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to return her rhinestones. I was as afraid of the dark as I was of my mother and I never stole again,â&#x20AC;? Nesbitt confessed.

By the time Nesbitt was 17, she was well-rounded and responsible, with six years combined experience as a babysitter, housecleaner and hospital worker. She was captain of the basketball team, cheerleader, honor roll student and voted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miss Senior.â&#x20AC;?

At the age of 18, Nesbitt moved to Washington, D.C., to work at the U.S. Post Office headquarters.

Then at the age of 23, she married her new protector â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dennis Nesbitt, a police officer and former marine sergeant. Together, they raised three children by employing corporal punishment, which once again resulted in three responsible citizens.

In 2004, shortly after the death of her beloved husband, Nesbitt moved to Kernersville, where she believes that due to the times â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even here, children have to be protected.

Fever seizures in infants are not usually a health threat

D

ear Dr. Donohue: A week ago, my 2-year-old grandson suffered a febrile seizure, which scared the living daylights out of me and my wife. His eyes rolled back, and he became unconscious. After a minute or two, he awoke. Can you give us some information on febrile seizures? He had a temperature of 101 F and started convulsing before he passed out. What can be done for this? Is it permanent? – T.P.

BLONDIE

Seizures scare everyone who witnesses them.

Febrile seizures – seizures that are triggered by a rise in temperature – are particularly frightening because they happen to young children, and no one is prepared for the experience.

They’re rare before 9 months of age, and they end after 5 years. Their peak occurs between 14 and 18 months. Around 4 percent of children suffer one.

A temperature that rapidly rises to 102.2 F (39 C) is the usual provoking factor. The child’s arms and leg flail about, and the child is out of it during the event. It lasts from seconds to 15 minutes and is followed by a period of drowsiness. Nothing special need be done during the seizure other than making sure the child is not going to hit anything.

The baby should be turned on his or her side.

A seizure lasting longer than 10 minutes ought to prompt a 911 call, and the baby’s doctor needs to be

informed of it in any case.

Febrile seizures don’t cause p e r m a nent brain HEALTH damage.

They can Dr. Paul recur. Not Donohue a whole lot ■■■ can be done to prevent them. Lowering an infant’s temperature with Tylenol might help. Oral diazepam in liquid form is another way to prevent an oncoming seizure, but the parents should confer with the baby’s doctor before attempting this preventive treatment.

On the doctor’s part, the most important aspect of febrile seizures is making sure the infant doesn’t have meningitis or a brain infection (encephalitis). In both cases, the temperature remains elevated and the baby appears quite sick.

If the doctor suspects either condition, a lumbar puncture will be done to examine the spinal fluid for signs of infection.

Dear Dr. Donohue: My brother was diagnosed with scoliosis. Is there any exercise or diet that will help? – N.B. Scoliosis is a spine that curves to the right or the left. Most cases occur in childhood. It can happen in adults, too, but the majority of adult scoliosis is scoliosis that’s been there since childhood days. Causes of scoliosis that begins in adulthood

include things like osteoporosis, disk degeneration or fractures of the backbones.

Diet does nothing for scoliosis. Exercise can alleviate back pain if your brother suffers from it.

The exercise is best prescribed by an orthopedic surgeon or a physical-therapy doctor. Side stroke and backstroke swimming are frequently suggested exercises.

Depending on how severe scoliosis is, a brace or even surgery is considered in young people.

Surgery is also possible for adults. The greater the degree of curvature and the angle created by scoliosis, the greater that likelihood that surgery is a consideration.

Dear Dr. Donohue: My 13-year-old granddaughter was discovered to have only one kidney but two uteruses. How does this affect her future? – C.G. Nature is bountiful in providing us with two kidneys. We can get by well with one. In fact, we do well with even part of one.

A double uterus might dispose a woman to having a miscarriage, but most women with two uteruses can have a normal pregnancy. Much depends on the presence of other abnormalities.

I realize this is a superficial answer to your question, but I would have to know more about your granddaughter’s case in order to provide specific information.

FAMOUS, FABULOUS

WARWICK, R.I. (AP) – Oscar-nominated actor James Woods on Tuesday settled a lawsuit against a hospital in Rhode Island where his younger brother Michael died in 2006.

Woods claimed Kent Hospital was negligent in the death of his 49-yearold brother, who had a heart attack and died in its emergency room after going there with a sore throat and vomiting.

PARIS (AP) – Audrey Hepburn fans got a sneak peek Tuesday of dozens of garments and personal effects once belonging to the movie star that will hit the auction blocks next week.

Purdue steamrolls Deacs

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — E’Twaun Moore scored 22 points to help No. 4 Purdue beat Wake Forest 69-58 on Tuesday night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

JaJuan Johnson had 21 points and nine rebounds and Robbie Hummel added 11 points and 11 rebounds for the Boilermakers (6-0), who are enjoying their highest AP ranking since 1996.

C.J. Harris and Ishmael Smith each scored 14 points and freshman AlFarouq Aminu added 12 points and 10 rebounds for Wake Forest (4-2).

Purdue forced 25 turnovers and held the Demon Deacons to below 30 percent shooting for most of the second half.

The Boilermakers shot 34 percent, but made 24 of 31 free throws and committed just nine turnovers.

Wake Forest, coming off a 78-68 home loss to William and Mary, made 10 of 19 free throws and shot 42 percent overall.

The Demon Deacons led 31-29 at halftime but were outscored 40-27 after that.

It was the second consecutive lockdown defensive effort for Purdue.

The Boilermakers held Central Michigan to 28 percent shooting in a 6438 win on Saturday.

Purdue and Wake Forest combined to make just 24 of 66 shots in the first half. Wake Forest led by two points at halftime, and would have led by more if not for 3-of-10 free throw shooting. Neither team led by more than four points in the first 20

--minutes. Purdue missed all nine of its 3-pointers in the first half.

Purdue shot poorly again early in the second half, but the Boilermakers were aggressive and forced Wake Forest into foul trouble. Two free throws by freshman Kelsey Barlow gave Purdue a 37-36 lead, then Chris Kramer got a steal and found Hummel streaking to the basket.

Hummel made a layup and was fouled, and he converted the three-point play to give the Boilermakers a 40-36 lead.

Purdue capped the 120 run with a layup by Moore to take a 42-36 lead. The Boilermakers held the Demon Deacons scoreless for nearly 5 minutes during that stretch.

Purdue missed its first 13 3-point shots, but Moore finally made one to give the Boilermakers a 51-44 lead with 9 minutes left. Johnson followed with a left-handed bank shot to push the lead to nine.

The Boilermakers finally started making shots AP in the final 10 minutes, Wake Forest’s Chas McFarland (left) blocks the shot of Purdue’s Chris Kramer in the first allowing them to stretch half of Tuesday’s ACC/Big Ten Challenge game at Purdue. Wake failed to make enough the lead to as many as 17 plays in the second half as the Boilermakers pulled away. points.

Northwestern hands State first defeat RALEIGH (AP) — Michael Thompson scored 22 points and Northwestern beat North Carolina State 65-53 on Tuesday night in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.

Jeremy Nash added 12 points for the Wildcats (6-1). Northwestern led by 14, only briefly trailed and won its fifth straight — the last three coming against teams that entered unbeaten.

Tracy Smith had a season-high 23 points — including 10 in a row down the stretch for the Wolfpack (5-1) — on 9-for-18 shooting.

N.C. State cut it to 57-52 on Julius Mays’ layup at the 2-minute mark before Northwestern put the game in its point guard’s hands. Thompson converted a three-point play about 30 seconds later, then added another free throw to make it a nine-point game and give the Wildcats plenty of breathing room.

Dennis Horner had 11 points and Javier Gonzalez added 10 for the Wolfpack, who lost for just the fourth time in 29 nonconference home games under Sidney Lowe and were held to a season-low point total.

The Wildcats led comfortably midway through the second half

before things got chippy. Alex Marcotullio was whistled for a technical foul as he got tangled with N.C. State’s Javier Gonzalez near the scorer’s table, and that seemed to spark the Wolfpack, who reeled off six quick points and cut it to 47-43 on Smith’s fast-break dunk at the 9-minute mark.

John Shurna had 10 of his 11 points in the first half for Northwestern, which has won six of its first seven games for the second straight year and third time under Bill Carmody.

Using a steady stream of backdoor cuts and 3-pointers against N.C. State’s man-to-man defense, Northwestern led for all but a few moments of the first half while forcing the Wolfpack to miss 14 of their first 17 shots.

The Wildcats, who shot nearly 58 percent in the half, seemed to have taken control late by hitting seven consecutive shots and using a 12-2 run to stretch their lead to 14. Shurna’s fast-break layup after a steal made it 32-18 at about the 4-minute mark. After that, only once did N.C. State get within single digits before the break.

orgive Tom Barrise if he feels like the guy who fell out of a hot-air balloon and landed on the Titanic.

Of course, the second fellow I mentioned did not exist.

Barrise’s situation is all too real.

Barrise replaced the fired Lawrence Frank and served as temporary head coach of the woeful New Jersey Nets on Sunday night.

His mission, and I have no idea why he

Davidson County Community College’s Robbie Rives has been named the National Junior College Athletic Association Division III Player of the Week after leading the Storm to a pair of big wins.

The 6-foot-3, 180-pound guard from Mount Airy scored 21 points against Tidewater (Va.) Community College and added 20 the next day against CCBC-Dundalk in Tidewater’s tournament.

Rives went 8-for-15 – including 3-for-6 on 3s – against the host team and added four rebounds, two steals and two assists in the 72-67 win. He then shot 6-of-11 against Dundalk – with all six makes coming from long range – and had three rebounds, two assists and a steal in DCCC’s 87-59 win.

The Storm now stand 6-3 for the season in the midst of a fourgame winning streak. DCCC returns to action Saturday at Oxford College and is on the road until Dec. 12 against Southwest Virginia Community College.

chose to accept it, was to stop the Nets’ 0-forthe-season skid.

That game came on the road against the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers.

The result? Well, the Lakers scored 106 and the Nets managed 19 fewer.

So that leaves New Jersey 0-17 and tied with the 1988-89 Miami Heat and the 1999 Los Angeles Clippers for worst start in NBA history.

The Nets can sink (pardon the belated Titanic pun) to an all-time NBA low with

a home loss tonight to the powerful Dallas Mavericks.

I hope the Nets win to go 1-17. That sounds a lot better than 0-18.Besides, misery loves company.

If the Nets share the record for futility to start an NBA season, at least they’ll have company at the bottom.

That’s something, I suppose.

Hokie runs to landslide win RALEIGH (AP) – Thanks to Ryan Williams, Virginia Tech’s rushing record for rookies didn’t last very long.

The Hokies’ record-setting running back was named Tuesday as the Atlantic Coast Conference’s rookie of the year after a season in which he broke Darren Evans’ 1-year-old school and conference record for rushing yards by a freshman.

“I haven’t wrapped my brain around it yet,” Williams said with a laugh.

Williams was the overwhelming choice as the ACC’s offensive rookie of the year, receiving 34 votes from 40 voting members. Boston College linebacker Luke Kuechly, who had 29 votes, was named the top newcomer on defense, and no other player on either side of the ball received more than four votes.

Separate votes were held for the offensive and defensive awards, and those vote counts were combined to determine the overall award winner.

Williams became the first player from Virginia Tech to win the ACC’s award for rookies. The last Hokie to win a conference rookie of the year award was Kevin Jones, who was named the Big East’s top newcomer in 2001.

Not bad for someone who entered his freshman season as the third-stringer behind Evans and Josh Oglesby, but worked his way into the starting lineup before the opener against Alabama.

That came after Evans, who had a then-school record 1,265 yards as a freshman last year, was lost for the season after hurting his knee during the preseason.

The Hokies (9-3, 6-2) certainly didn’t miss a beat with Williams. He rushed for 1,538 yards – the fourth-best single-season total in ACC history – to shatter Evans’ mark, and he enters his bowl game 110 yards shy of Jones’ 6-year-old school record for players from all classes.

“I don’t really worry about records,” Williams said. “I don’t try to chase them.

I don’t try to break them. My main thing is to just help this team win. If I end up breaking records, then, cool.”

Williams also wound up tying the ACC single-season record with 19 rushing touchdowns, matching North Carolina’s Don McCauley’s big season in 1970. His 20 overall TDs set the league’s scoring record for freshmen, breaking the mark of 18 set by N.C. State’s T.A. McLendon in 2002.

Jackets’ Johnson top coach again GREENSBORO (AP) – Two seasons in the Atlantic Coast Conference, two coach of the year awards for Paul Johnson.

The Georgia Tech coach once again was the overwhelming choice as the ACC’s top coach as selected by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association.

Johnson received 24 of a possible 40 votes cast by ACSMA members, easily outdistancing his counterpart in this week’s ACC championship game.

Clemson’s Dabo Swinney had 10 votes, followed by Duke’s David Cutcliffe

(4) and Boston College’s Frank Spaziani (2).

This marks the sixth time a Georgia Tech coach has received the award, and the third time this decade after George O’Leary won it in 2000.

Johnson claimed the award last year after the Yellow Jackets burst onto the scene and ran his complex option-based offense with aplomb, and they one-upped themselves this year by winning the Coastal Division for the first time since 2006, claiming a spot in the league title game and vaulting into the top 10.

The run-first offense led the ACC in scoring (35 points per game), total offense (440.5 ypg), rushing offense (305 ypg) and pass efficiency (160.7 rating). As a result, five starters made the allconference first team – including quarterback Josh Nesbitt, running back Jonathan Dwyer and even receiver Demaryius Thomas.

They helped Georgia Tech (10-2, 7-1) finish with the ACC’s best overall and conference records, and will face the Tigers for a spot in the Orange Bowl.

O’Brien, Pack hopeful for future RALEIGH (AP) – Tom O’Brien figures he’s rarely been tested as a coach quite like he was in this third season at North Carolina State.

A crippling run of injuries started before the season even began and continued. By the end, his offensive coordinator was battling a serious illness and the Wolfpack was just trying to make it through the schedule.

“This is the hardest year I’ve ever been through in coaching,” O’Brien said after his team closed the season by upsetting North Carolina on Saturday.

The 28-27 win against the Tar Heels gave the Wolfpack (5-7, 2-6 Atlantic Coast Conference) some measure of relief in a season that got away during a 1-6 stretch in the second half of the schedule. But the Wolfpack had 12 players go down with season-ending injuries, starting with top linebacker Nate Irving in an offseason car wreck. Another four players sat out of the North Carolina game, prompting O’Brien to say “I don’t think we could go play in a bowl game if we had to.”

O’Brien said the injuries made it difficult to determine where the program stands after his first three seasons.

“The situation we’re in now, we had no upper class at all,” he said. “This program is basically two recruiting

classes. I don’t know how you’re able to judge when you have no upper class, and your other classes are wiped out, until we get another recruiting class in here and we get some depth to start moving forward. Basically, we’ve been hanging on, to be quite frank.”

As if things couldn’t get tougher, the Wolfpack learned early last week that offensive coordinator Dana Bible had been diagnosed with leukemia. He was to remain hospitalized for 30 days of treatment and missed the final two games.

The Wolfpack will have to wait to find out whether quarterback Russell Wilson will return for his junior season or focus on baseball. Wilson said he would decide “whenever the Lord knocks on my door and lets me know.”

N.C. State must also wait to find out whether running back Toney Baker, who was granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA after losing almost two full years to knee injuries, will return.

For O’Brien, the win against UNC can only help the Wolfpack move past a frustrating season.

“We’re going to be a heck of a football team here, and it’s all because of the seniors,” O’Brien said Saturday. “You know, as disappointing as this year is, I think someday we’ll look back and say, ‘Things turned.’ Maybe today.”

Irish begin search, scramble for recruits SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) – Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick has begun the work of trying to find a new coach for the Fighting Irish, convinced he can find someone who can follow in the path of Knute Rockne, Frank Leahy, Ara Parseghian and Lou Holtz.

While Irish fans hoped to hear word that Swarbrick was spotted in Gainesville, Fla., going after Urban Meyer or in Norman, Okla., for a talk with Bob Stoops, Swarbrick remained on campus Tuesday laying the groundwork for his search.

He spent part of the day talking with Notre Dame assistant coaches about the football program before seven of them fanned out across the country Tuesday afternoon to try to reassure the 18 high

school seniors who already have committed to attend the school next season.

But at least one of the 18 high school seniors who verbally committed to Notre Dame said Tuesday he is looking elsewhere.

Defensive end Chris Martin of Aurora, Colo., the highest rated player among those who committed to Notre Dame, confirmed in a text message to The Associated Press on Tuesday that he has decommitted.

Others, though, said the firing of Charlie Weis on Monday won’t change their plans. Offensive lineman Christian Lombard of Palatine, Ill., said he’s still strongly committed to the Irish.

“I’ve said this time and time again, the coach isn’t guaranteed; but the school is. That’s why

I picked Notre Dame,” he said. “Nothing has changed with my commitment.”

Receiver Tai-ler Jones from Gainesville, Ga., whose father, Andre, was a defensive end on Notre Dame’s last national championship team in 1988, said the school has no need to worry about him changing his mind because Weis was fired.

“It was sad to see him go.

I wanted to get the chance to play under Coach Weis, but now I’m just looking to see who the new coach is,” he said.

Notre Dame players who spoke to the media on Monday evening expressed similar sentiments. Star receiver Golden Tate said Monday that he was disappointed Weis was fired, but added that he supports Swarbrick.

In this Oct. 23, 1999, file photo, Florida State coach Bobby Bowden is carried off the field after defeating Clemson 17-14 for his 300th career win as a college football head coach. The 80-year-old coach will retire after the Seminoles’ bowl game.

Bowden stepping aside TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – Bobby Bowden orchestrated one of the great runs in college football, building Florida State into a powerhouse that produced two national titles, dozens of All-Americans and some of the most memorable missed field goals ever.

Bowden said Tuesday he will end his 44-year coaching career after the Seminoles play in a bowl game. Bowden was done in by a combination of off-field woes, too many defeats and coach-in-waiting Jimbo Fisher ready to take over.

“Nothing lasts forever, does it?” a relaxed-looking Bowden asked during video interview conducted by school officials. “But I’ve had some wonderful years here at Florida State, you know it. Hadn’t done as good lately as I wish I could have, but I’ve had wonderful years, no regrets.”

The 80-year-old Bowden will retire as the second winningest coach in majorcollege football behind Penn State’s Joe Paterno. The folksy coach has won 388 games at Samford, West Virginia and Florida State, where he spent the last 34 seasons. Bowden was faced with the option of coming back next season with diminished control over the program, giving Fisher more power.

“We’ve got one more game and I look forward to enjoying these next few weeks as the head football coach,” Bowden said earlier Tuesday in a statement.

The Seminoles are bowl eligible at 6-6, and were awaiting word on where they will play. They’re also awaiting word from the NCAA on whether 14 victories in recent seasons will be vacated because of an academic cheating scandal.

Bowden won two national titles at

Florida State, in 1993 and 1999. Among his top achievements is a string of 14 straight seasons ending in 2000 when the Seminoles won at least 10 games and finished ranked in the top five of the AP poll. Florida State was 152-19-1, an .864 winning percentage, during that span.

He has a 315-97-4 record with the Seminoles, but his teams were 73-42 the past nine seasons.

“He set records of achievement on the field that will probably never be equaled,” Florida State president T.K. Wetherell said. “Bobby Bowden in many ways became the face of Florida State. It was his sterling personality and character that personified this university.”

FSU officials announced after the 2007 season that Fisher, the offensive coordinator, would succeed Bowden.

The end of the Bowden era has been brewing for years, and the call for change only grew louder this year, when loss after loss, many coming in the final minutes, began piling up. The regular season ended with a sixth straight loss to bitter rival Florida, a 37-10 blowout.

A football lifer, Bowden modeled his career after his idol Paul “Bear” Bryant, the legendary Alabama coach who died shortly after he retired in 1982.

“After you retire, there’s only one big event left,” Bowden has said over the years. “And I ain’t ready for that.”

Bowden seemed to be in good humor during the video interview, saying his family doesn’t have to worry about his well being.

“Now, you know I have to go out and get a job. Can you believe that?” he said.

“I’ve got to go get a job. I ain’t had a job in 55 years.”

Friedgen gets reprieve with Terps COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) – A grateful Ralph Friedgen will return in 2010, eager to rebound from his worst season as Maryland’s head football coach.

Friedgen’s job status appeared shaky after the Terrapins lost a school-record 10 games this season.

But after meeting for two consecutive days with athletic director Debbie Yow, Friedgen was given the go-ahead to make plans for a 10th season as coach at his alma mater.

“I’m very thankful for the opportunity,” Friedgen said. “I hope I wasn’t just judged on this year.

But this shows the confidence the administration has in me and our program. I’m willing to repay that with everything I have to make this the team we expect it to be.”

The 62-year-old Fried-

gen has two years left on a contract that pays him $2 million annually. He is 66-46 at Maryland and has gone to six bowl games, but the Terrapins have endured four losing seasons over the past six years.

Celtics burst Bobcats’ balloon THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE — Ray Allen broke out of his shooting slump with 27 points, Kendrick Perkins added 21 points and 12 rebounds and the Boston Celtics cruised past the Charlotte Bobcats 108-90 on Tuesday night for their fifth straight victory.

Led by Allen, the Celtics had little trouble slowing the Bobcats, who had won four straight. Entering shooting 30 percent from 3-point range, Allen took only nine shots, but hit 5 of 6 3-pointers, including one from behind the plane of the backboard with 1 second left to give the Celtics a 62-39 halftime lead.

Charlotte never recovered as Gerald Wallace scored just five points after getting into early foul trouble. Nazr Mohammed had 16 points for the Bobcats, who entered giving up a league-low 87.9 points a game.

KNICKS 126, SUNS 99 NEW YORK — Danilo Gallinari had 27

points and 10 rebounds, and the New York Knicks beat the Phoenix Suns 126-99 on Tuesday night, snapping a five-game losing streak and giving their coach a resounding victory over his old team.

David Lee added 24 points and Al Harrington had 22 for the Knicks, who rang up a season-best 71 first-half points, then blew it open when Gallinari scored seven points in a span of barely a minute midway through the third quarter.

Steve Nash had 20 points and eight assists for the Suns (14-4), who came in with the NBA’s best record. They had won four straight by an average of 21.3 points.

It was a sweet victory for Mike D’Antoni, who rode his high-scoring offensive system to an average of 58 wins in his four full seasons in Phoenix before he and the Suns parted ways after a first-round loss to San Antonio in 2008.

He hasn’t been nearly as successful with an inferior roster in New York, where he

coached his 100th game Tuesday and recorded just his 36th victory.

WIZARDS 106, RAPTORS 102 TORONTO — Antawn Jamison had 30 points and 12 rebounds, Gilbert Arenas had 22 points and nine assists for Washington.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Maryland finally figured out how to put away Indiana on Tuesday.

With a strong closing flurry.

Greivis Vasquez scored 23 points and Landon Milbourne had 19 points, leading the Terrapins to an 80-68 victory in their first trip to Indiana and giving the ACC its first win in this year’s Big TenACC Challenge.

Maryland (5-2) ended a two-game losing streak.

The Hoosiers (3-4), who have lost four of their last five, were led by freshmen Maurice Creek with 19 points and Christian Watford, who had 16 points. The loss prevented coach Tom Crean from picking up career win No. 200 in his first attempt.

It was a sloppy game most of the night, with the teams combining for 34 turnovers and 41 fouls.

The difference: Maryland shot 56.5 percent from the field in the second half. Indiana was 23 of 70 from the field and just 7 of 26 from 3-point range for the game.

But the crowd clearly had an impact on Maryland, which had committed fewer turnovers in all six of its previous games this season. At times, the Terrapins looked rattled before finally regrouping over the final 10 minutes when they locked down the Indiana shooters.

Indiana led much of the first half, extending the lead to 28-21 after making six straight baskets.

Maryland answered with six straight points and regained the lead at 35-33 on Vasquez’s 3pointer in the final minute before halftime.

In the second half, Indiana rallied from a six-point deficit in the second half to take the lead at 49-48 on Creek’s 3-pointer with 11:44 to go.

But after the teams traded leads over the next three minutes, Maryland scored five straight points to take control and limited Indiana to just three baskets over the final 9:44.

The Terrapins finished the game on a 26-12 run.

Maryland has now won five straight in the conference challenge.

Duke on the defensive entering tough Challenge

BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

DURHAM – Statistically speaking, Duke has no business entering tonight’s Big Ten/ACC Challenge game at Wisconsin undefeated.

Yet the No. 6 Blue Devils are unbeaten, because they’ve taken care of business on the defensive end.

Defense always has been the trademark for coach Mike Krzyzewski’s teams, but this latest squad really made its

mark in its most recent game, becoming the first Duke team to win a game while shooting less than 30 percent from the floor since 1950.

“We have guys that are embracing getting stops,” senior Lance Thomas said. “Defense is how we’re going to win big.”

The Blue Devils (6-0) certainly have won big in the Big Ten/ ACC Challenge, going 10-0 in the event to help the ACC go 100 as well. Tonight’s game (9:15, ESPN) will be among the biggest challenges that Duke has

faced over the event’s history.

Wisconsin (4-1) has won 122 of 132 games at Kohl Center under ninth-year coach Bo Ryan, including a 2-1 mark in the Challenge.

The Blue Devils already have shined on a big stage – albeit a neutral one – in winning the NIT Season Tip-Off on Friday night in New York.

Defense keyed that title run, with Duke yielding just 38 points to Arizona State over the final 35 minutes of their semifinal matchup, then holding Con-

necticut to 36-percent shooting in the final to overcome 29-percent shooting.

Duke’s first six opponents collectively are shooting 36 percent, while Duke’s shooting checks in at 45.7 percent. It obviously is early, but that’s the biggest gap between Duke and its opponents since the 1998-99 season. A year ago, the gap (1 percent) was the smallest since the 1995-96 season.

Wisconsin certainly is no slouch on the defensive end.

The Badgers have ranked in

the top 10 nationally in seven of the previous eight seasons in scoring defense, a big part of the reason that Ryan ranks second – sandwiched between UNC coach Roy Williams and Krzyzewski – in winning percentage for active Division I coaches with at least 500 victories.

In the only previous meeting between the schools, Wisconsin’s defense didn’t hold up at Cameron Indoor Stadium, with Duke claiming an 82-58 victory in this same event two years ago.

Penske picks new chief for Keselowski

Woods’ silence nothing new THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Whether he’s standing on the tee or staying in his house, Tiger Woods calculates his every move.

The PR specialists who are making themselves available for expert opinion (and their own publicity) have mostly concluded that Woods is making a big mistake by hiding behind his silence over the car crash outside his home last week.

Not many would dispute that.

Keeping quiet only fueled speculation and innuendo that is not likely to end with the Florida Highway Patrol announcement Tuesday that Woods will be cited for reckless driving and fined $164, and its investigation is over.

Even so, no one should be surprised by how Woods and his management team are proceeding.

He has been handling things his own way since he turned pro.

Woods does not get into many media confrontations. When he does, the response is

short and often distributed on paper.

After the famous GQ article in 1997, in which Woods was quoted as telling jokes with racial overtones in the back seat of a car, he issued a statement through IMG in which he confessed to the jokes. “It’s no secret that I’m 21 years old and that I’m naive about the motives of certain ambitious writers,” it said.

He was playing at Bay Hill when the article came out. The day after his statement, upon finishing his round, Woods rushed by a group of reporters and ducked inside a tent to sign autographs.

That was the first — and last — time Woods could be found in an autograph tent.

At his next news conference, a week later at The Players Championship, Woods repeated the line about being naive. When someone started to ask about the magazine article, Woods cut him off.

“I have already answered enough on that GQ article,” he said.

Yanks decline arbitration to Matsui and Damon NEW YORK (AP) — The Yankees declined to offer salary arbitration to World Series MVP Hideki Matsui, Johnny Damon and Andy Pettitte, a move that means New York would not receive draft picks as compensation if they sign with other teams.

Tuesday night was the first big deadline of baseball’s offseason, with teams having until midnight to make arbitration offers to their former players who became free agents. Players have until Dec. 7 to accept; if they reject, they still can re-sign with their former clubs at any time.

As of early evening, Houston offered arbitration to pitcher Jose Valverde and Detroit made offers to right-handers Brandon Lyon and Fernando Rodney. The Tigers declined offers

to left-hander Jarrod Washburn, second baseman Placido Polanco, infielder-outfielder Aubrey Huff and shortstop Adam Everett.

Before 2006, players not offered arbitration could not re-sign with their former clubs from Dec. 8-April 30, but that provision was eliminated in the latest collective bargaining agreement.

Teams losing top free agents, as defined by a complicated statistical formula, get draft picks next June as compensation.

Type A free agents are among the top 20 percent of players at their position, as defined by the formula created in the 1981 strike settlement, and Type B are from 21-40 percent. Teams receive two extra draft picks if they lose a Type A player and one if they lose a Type B.

76ers offer deal to Iverson PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia 76ers are closer to a reunion.

A person with knowledge of the contract talks says the Sixers offered a one-year, non-guaranteed contract to Iverson on Tuesday. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the contract talks had not been made public.

Iverson, his agent and business manager met with team president Ed Stefanski, coach Eddie Jordan and

two other members of the organization Monday during the first formal meeting between the Sixers and their former MVP. Iverson announced his retirement last week after an ill-fated stint with the Memphis Grizzlies. The 10-time All-Star was NBA MVP in 2001 when he led the Sixers to the NBA Finals.

Iverson announced his intention to retire last week after no other team expressed an interest is signing him.

New England quarterback Tom Brady sits on the sidelines with head bowed in dejection near the end of the Patriots’ embarrassing loss to the New Orleans Saints on Monday night.

Saints ready for run toward perfection NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The New Orleans Saints’ pursuit of perfection looks more attainable with every lopsided victory.

Following their 38-17 triumph over New England, nine of the Saints’ 11 wins have been by double digits and their average margin of victory is 16.9 points.

Of their five remaining regular season games, only two will be against teams that currently have winning records.

Yet quarterback Drew Brees cautioned against making too much of the Saints’ impressive dismantling of the Patriots on Monday night.

“People are going to talk about this game and maybe blow it out of proportion a little bit,” Brees said following his 371-yard, five touchdown outing. “This game doesn’t entitle us to anything. It’s just another win in the win column.

Civil suit filed against Beason THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE — The man who has accused Carolina’s Jon Beason of punching him in the face has filed a civil suit against the Panthers middle linebacker.

A day after Beason was arrested on a misdemeanor assault charge, the attorney for Gregory Frye filed papers Tuesday seeking damages in excess of $10,000. Frye claims Beason sucker-punched him

at a Charlotte strip club last month, crushing his nasal cavity. He seeks a jury trial.

Beason’s attorney, George Laughrun, said Beason had nothing to do with the incident. He called Frye’s claims in the civil suit “fantasy land if he thinks this happened.”

Frye was able to secure a warrant from a magistrate for Beason’s arrest Monday, before CharlotteMecklenburg police had

completed an investigation into the matter.

PANTHERS SIGN LINEBACKER CHARLOTTE — The Carolina Panthers have added depth at linebacker by signing Quinton Culberson, who played this season in the United Football League.

They made room on the roster Tuesday by waiving Kelvin Smith after reaching an injury settlement.

Roger Penske is going with a new crew chief to go along with new driver Brad Keselowski.

Jay Guy, most recently crew chief for Furniture Row Racing’s No. 78 driven by Regan Smith, will replace Roy McCauley on the pit box of the No. 12 Dodges.

Keselowski, a Nationwide Series regular who scored a surprising victory for the James Finch team at Talladega in May, replaced David Stremme late in the season and will be a Cup regular for the first time in 2010.

McCauley, who served as a crew chief within the Penske organization for four years, will move into an administrative role.

Penske also announced Paul Wolfe as crew chief for the No. 22 Dodges that Keselowski will drive in the Nationwide Series. Keselowski previously drove for JR Motorsports at the Nationwide level.

Wolfe was most recently crew chief for CJM Racing’s No. 11 cars on the Nationwide Tour.

CARAWAY RECAP Chuck Wall went home last Sunday as the winner of Caraway Speedway’s last main event of the year.

Wall prevailed in a 100-lap Mini Stock race. P-Nut Vernon, A.J. Sanders, Dennis Holdren and Mike Herron completed the top five. Michael Tucker of Thomasville was 11th.

Gary Ledbetter of Lexington won a 50-lap Sportsman race. Ryan Robertson, Matt Boling, Tommy Neal and Daniel Schadt were the remainder of the top five.

Bobby Mitchem was the winner of a 50-lap U-Car race, followed by Tracy Hogan, Josh Hogan, Eric Hockett and Chris Jones.

Auto sales steady, but Chrysler falls DETROIT (AP) — U.S. auto sales in November showed more signs of stability, with Ford and Toyota reporting steady to higher sales.

But Chrysler struggled for another month, while Hyundai again posted double-digit sales growth.

Automakers are looking for signs of life in the auto market, which is recovering from a historic drop in sales that began last year.

Pfizer inks deal for new technology

Recovery slow, but on track NEW YORK (AP) — The economic recovery seems on track for slow but steady gains, after reports Tuesday showed growth in manufacturing activity, construction spending and contracts to buy homes.

A private measure of manufacturing activity grew for the fourth straight month in November, though more slowly than in October. The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing executives, said its index read 53.6,

down from 55.7 in October. A reading above 50 indicates growth.

Economists were especially encouraged that new orders — a gauge of future production — jumped October. That suggested that manufacturing can continue to help sustain the budding recovery.

A report on construction spending also signaled growth with the first increase in six months, largely on the strength of home building. The increase was slight — just

0.04 percent. And in part it reflected a rush by builders to begin work before the expiration of a tax credit for first-time homebuyers. The credit was extended last month and expanded to some existing homeowners.

Still, the increase appeared to signal that the construction sector is stabilizing and providing support for the fledgling economic recovery.

A third positive report said the number of homebuyers who signed contracts to buy previously

occupied homes rose for the ninth straight month.

This increase, too, came as buyers rushed to take advantage of the homebuyer tax credit.

Every region in the report by the National Association of Realtors saw year-over-year gains in pending sales. Typically, there’s a one- to twomonth lag between a contract and a done deal, so the index tends to anticipate future sales.

In the ISM report on manufacturing, analysts were impressed that new

GM’s Henderson resigns

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Pfizer Inc. will spend up to $115 million for rights to an Israeli biotech company’s experimental drug and its promising technology for making that drug and others in carrot cells.

The world’s biggest drugmaker said Tuesday its deal with Protalix BioTherapeutics Inc. involves a “groundbreaking” technology, the first to use plant cells to make protein-based drugs, that would be safer than the animal cells now used by biotech companies.

Dubai tries to calm panic over crisis DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Dubai’s ruler looked to calm panicky investors Tuesday with a message that all was well in the glitzy citystate after the largest government-owned company shook global markets by saying it needed to delay payments on its $60 in debt.

Dubai World, one of the government’s chief investment arms, has stakes in holdings ranging from luxury retailer Barney’s New York to a grandiose six-tower hotel-entertainment complex in Las Vegas. In its first statement since revealing its debt problems last Wednesday, the conglomerate said it had started negotiations with creditors on restructuring some of its debt.

Ag futures mostly higher on BOT CHICAGO (AP) — Agriculture futures were mostly higher early Tuesday on the Chicago Board of Trade.

Wheat for March delivery rose 4.75 cents to $5.935 a bushel; March corn gained 2.5 cents to $4.20 a bushel; January soybeans gained 9.5 cents to $10.70 a bushel; and March oats dipped 0.25 cent to $2.6725 a bushel.

DILBERT

orders jumped past 60 for the third time in the past four months. The last such streak was in 2005. And economists downplayed the drop in the overall index from October to November.

“We are not overly concerned with the monthly drop, as there has been a lot of positive momentum,” said TD Securities economics strategist Ian Pollick. “The manufacturing sector is trying to catch its breath rather than what runners like to call ‘hitting the wall.’”

Staples sees retail sales improvement NEW YORK (AP) — Staples Inc., the largest U.S. office supply retailer, provided an upbeat outlook Tuesday as it reported that its customers bought more school and office supplies and technology products in its stores in the third quarter.

Staples North American retail sales rose 1 percent to $2.6 billion in the third quarter, the first

rise in five quarters. But contract sales remained weak as small businesses are slow to recover from the recession.

CEO Ron Sargent said the company is feeling “increasingly optimistic about the future” and predicted total sales will rise in the current quarter — which includes January, when many businesses start afresh with new budgets. He also expects a bet-

ter holiday season than last year’s.

The outlook sent shares up 6 percent to their highest point in the year during midday trading. Still, Sargent said any substantial recovery in the economy overall will hinge on job growth.

“As it relates to Staples, we are seeing nice recovery in our stores and we’re starting to see the pickup in our catalog business,

but not as much in contract (sales), and I think if people aren’t working they aren’t consuming office supplies,” Sargent said.

The improvement in North American sales is encouraging because consumers have been buying less office and school supplies during the recession, dampening sales at retailers like Staples, Office Max and Office Depot.

Pending home sales rise again MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON — Signed sales contracts on existing homes in the United States rose for the ninth straight month in October, a real estate industry group reported Tuesday.

The pending home sales index rose a seasonally

adjusted 3.7 percent in October from September, the National Association of Realtors reported. The index is up 31.8 percent compared with last October.

The index rose 6 percent in September.

The index tracks sales contracts on pre-owned homes. Typically, it takes a month or two after the contract is signed for the

sale to close. At that point, the sale is booked in the NAR’s existing-home sales report.

The pending-home sales index has been running ahead of the existinghome sales figures, likely because tight credit conditions and tougher rules on appraisals are killing some deals before they close. Compared with a

year ago, existing-home sales are up 23 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.1 million.

The federal government’s first-time homebuyer tax credit could have led to more deals in October. The tax credit has now been extended, but buyers in October thought it would expire on Nov. 30.

DETROIT (AP) — General Motors’ CEO Frederick “Fritz” Henderson has resigned after eight turbulent months as head of the largest U.S. automaker.

The company said Tuesday that Chairman Ed Whitacre Jr. will serve as interim CEO. The company plans an international search for a new president and chief executive.

At a press conference here, Whitacre read a brief statement thanking Henderson for his work during a period of challenge and change.

Henderson, 51, succeeded Rick Wagoner on March 29 after the Obama administration ousted GM’s former CEO as the company worked through a government-led reorganization.

Trade group trims sales forecast NEW YORK (AP) — The International Council of Shopping Centers trimmed its November sales growth forecast on Tuesday as shoppers are falling behind in their holiday buying compared with a year ago.

Michael P. Niemira, chief economist for ICSC, now predicts that November sales at stores open at least a year — a key industry barometer — will be up 3 to 4 percent, compared with the steep 7.7 percent drop a year ago.

But the projection is below Niemira’s original forecast for growth in a range of 5 percent to 8 percent.

Bloomberg completes purchase of BusinessWeek NEW YORK (AP) — Bloomberg LP said Tuesday it has completed its purchase of McGraw-Hill’s BusinessWeek magazine.

The financial data and news company had agreed to buy the business magazine in October.

McGraw-Hill Cos. has said that it was getting $5

million in cash and that Bloomberg was assuming an unspecified amount of BusinessWeek’s liabilities.

The purchase had been expected to close by the end of the year.

McGraw-Hill put BusinessWeek up for auction in July — the magazine has been reeling from the weak

economy and the shift in media consumption that has pushed more advertising onto the Internet. BusinessWeek has also been trying to determine how it can stay relevant as a weekly magazine while readers can devour financial and corporate news online at any time.

INDEX

NEW YORK (AP) – The stock market is picking up where it left off before its scare over debt problems in Dubai.

Major stock indicators rose more than 1 percent Tuesday, including the Dow Jones industrial average, which added 126 points and traded above 10,500 for the first time since October of last year.

A weaker dollar again boosted stocks, a pattern that has played out for months. The cheaper U.S. currency drove up commodities prices and lifted the shares of energy and materials companies that produce them.

Economic reports were mixed, but still pointed to a strengthening trend. The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group, said overall manufacturing activity grew at a slower pace in November but that new

orders rose. That signals activity could pick up in the coming months. The ISM’s measure of employment grew for the second straight month after sliding for more than a year.

Analysts said a mostly upbeat array of economic reports and easing worries about the fallout from debt struggles in Dubai gave investors who jumped out of the market last week reason to return.

The Dow rose 126.74, or 1.2 percent, to 10,471.58, its highest close since October last year. It rose as high as 10,501.28 during trading, the first time it’s topped the psychological barrier of 10,500 in 14 months.

Jobless to get new $100 billion safety net continuing emergency benefits through 2010 for the long-term unemployed — jobless more than six months — plus an estimated $15 billion to continue subsidies to help pay health insurance premiums.

Even before the last new round of extended benefits in November, the cost of unemployment compensation was estimated by the White House to exceed $140 billion for fiscal 2010, which began in October. Just two years ago

— when the unemployment rate was 4.8 percent in contrast to the current 10.2 percent — the cost of unemployment benefits was only $43 billion.

Extending unemployment benefits again is an obvious solution to Democrats preaching compassion for the long-term jobless, as well as to economists who say cutting off the flow of money could harm the economy.

“This is the most effective way to get money into the economy. It’s given to

people who are simply out of money,” said Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., a key supporter. “They’re spending it. They’re not socking it away in a mattress somewhere.”

Several temporary benefit extensions dating from mid-2008 are set to expire Dec. 31. In January alone, an estimated 1 million people will lose benefits as their extended coverage runs out. By March, 3 million people will have lost benefits averaging about $315 a week.

Recession hits Rhode Island hard PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A bursting bubble in housing prices combined with one of the nation’s worst financial meltdowns since the Great Depression likely caused a recession in Rhode Island that has been longer and deeper than most of the country, a federal official said Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (AP) – As unemployment spikes, the cost of compassion is going up too.

By as much as $100 billion.

That’s the potential price of a push by Democrats in Congress to continue providing extra help to the jobless beyond the core 26-week unemployment insurance package provided under permanent law.

The jaw-dropping numbers combine the approximately $85 billion cost of

makers his theory on the reasons for the state’s unique financial woes during an economic forum convened by House Speaker William Murphy, D-West Warwick. Unemployment stood at 12.9 percent in October, worse than every other state besides Michigan and Nevada.

Rhode Island weathered a recession earlier this decade on much better footing and managed to

expand its economy, Tannenwald said. But it has suffered since employment hit a peak in early 2007.

Housing prices have been one major factor in the state’s recession, he said. Home prices soared during the past few years because the state had little new construction, which reduced supply. At the same time, easy lending standards enabled more people to qualify for

mortgage, putting upward pressure on prices.

State leaders were also aggressively courting financial firms by offering them incentives to relocate to Rhode Island. For example, Fidelity Investments announced in 2006 that it was moving 1,500 jobs from Massachusetts to a campus in Smithfield As a result, Rhode Island fell hard when housing prices plummeted nationally.

Treasury to auction Capital One warrants WASHINGTON (AP) — The Treasury Department said Tuesday it will begin auctioning warrants of Capital One Financial Corp., marking the latest government effort to rein in emergency rescue programs set up during the height of the financial crisis last year.

Warrants are financial instruments that allow the holder to buy stock in the future at a fixed price.

Oil rises on sliding dollar NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices climbed Tuesday as the dollar weakened and new figures showed energy demand for crude may be growing in China.

Benchmark crude for January delivery rose $1.44 to $78.72 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

The dollar grew weaker against the euro, which fetched more than $1.50 Tuesday after the European Union said unemployment held steady at 9.8 percent in October. Unemployment in the U.S. is already above 10 percent.

Since oil is largely bought and sold in dollars, investors holding stronger currencies can buy more crude for less.

World markets rise as Dubai fears ease LONDON (AP) — World stock markets rose sharply Tuesday as tensions related to Dubai’s debt problems eased, while gold broke through the $1,200 an ounce level for the first time ever amid renewed dollar weakness.

In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares closed up 121.49 points, or 2.3 percent, at 5,312.17 while Germany’s DAX rose 150.66 points, or 2.7 percent, to 5,776.61. The CAC-40 in France was 95.59 points, or 2.6 percent, higher at 3,775.74.

Storm system aims at Carolinas; snow for weekend?

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

A vigorous low pressure system is forming in the Gulf of Mexico and is expected to produce a variety of nasty weather across the Charlotte metro region today.

A flash flood watch has been issued for the Charlotte metro region for today, and forecasters say severe thunderstorms are possible late this afternoon and evening in the eastern and central Carolinas – possibly reaching the Charlotte area.

And if all that isn’t enough, meteorol-

ogists say another storm system could bring light snow to the North Carolina mountains and a rain-snow mix to the foothills and possibly the Piedmont late Friday and Saturday.

The arrival of bad weather was preceded by quiet weather Tuesday.

After a chilly start – with a morning low of 28 degrees at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport – temperatures rebounded nicely Tuesday under mostly sunny skies, with highs approaching 60 degrees.

But high clouds are starting to move into the area, in advance of the strong low pressure system expected to move

from the Gulf of Mexico across Alabama, Georgia and eastern Tennessee today. Rain from that system is forecast to reach the Charlotte area by daybreak today, then become heavier as the day goes on.

Rodney Hinson, of the National Weather Service, said between 2 and 4 inches of rain are expected to fall in the Piedmont and foothills today.

“This amount of precipitation in that short of a time will likely produce flash flooding across the area,” Hinson said.

He said small creeks and streams could overflow their banks by later in the afternoon and evening, and flooding

in urban areas with poor drainage also is possible.

By late afternoon, forecasters say, conditions could become tricky.

A warm front is expected to move inland from the coast, as the center of the low pressure system crosses Georgia into Tennessee. Severe weather – in the form of thunderstorms and possible tornadoes – is expected in areas where the warm front crosses. Some of the Weather Service’s computers predict the warm front will move as far inland as the Interstate 85 corridor, but other computers predict it will remain closer to the coast.

Dalai Lama urges world to act on climate change SYDNEY (AP) – The world’s leaders must prioritize the issue of global warming above all else, the Dalai Lama said Monday, adding that he feels encouraged by next month’s climate change summit in Copenhagen.

The revered Buddhist figure and Nobel Peace Prize winner, in Australia for a series of lectures on universal responsibility and the environment, said politicians must focus their energy on finding a solution to climate change.

“Sometimes their

number one importance is national interest, national economic interest, then global (warming) issue is sometimes second,” he said during a news conference. “That I think should change. The global issue, it should be number one.”

The Dalai Lama plans to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his Nobel Peace Prize in Australia on Dec. 10. He will present seeds he has blessed to attendees of his talks as a symbol of individuals’ responsibility to act on climate change.

Company recalls dried cat food that sickened 21 felines WASHINGTON (AP) – A Missouri company said Tuesday its recalled dried cat food has sickened 21 cats and the pet food was distributed in multiple states in the South and along the East Coast.

Diamond Pet Foods recalled certain bags of Premium Edge Finicky Adult Cat and Premium Edge Hairball cat food in September because they could lead to gastrointestinal or neurological problems for cats.

They do not contain enough thiamine, an essential nutrient for cats.

If cats fed these foods have no other source of nutrition, they could develop thiamine deficiency.

If untreated, this disorder could result in death, said the Meta, Mo., manufacturer.

The company updated information on the recall on Tuesday, saying it has confirmed 21 reports of thiamine deficiency in New York and Pennsylvania and the

pet food was distributed in 18 states altogether.

These states include Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.

Initial symptoms of thiamine deficiency include decreased appetite, salivation, vomiting and weight loss.

Later, neurological problems that could develop include bending the neck toward the floor, wobbly walking, circling, falling and seizures.

The affected cat food was pulled from store shelves on Sept. 23, according to the company. No incidents have been reported since Oct. 19.

For a full refund, consumers can return the recalled cat food to the place it was purchased. For more information, consumers can call 800-977-8797.

Gift lists shrink, but who makes the cut?

BOOK READING

---

BY LISA A. FLAM ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

N

EW YORK – Gift givers are getting ready to cut.

Against the backdrop of record high unemployment and other financial struggles, people are taking out their holiday gifts lists and finding themselves having to cross off friends, relatives and co-workers this year.

“Like the rest of the world, this economy has me cutting almost everyone off the gift list,” said Trish Bonsall, who lost her job as a sales manager for a new home builder in June. “In the past, it was a very long list. This year, we’re cutting it drastically.”

For Bonsall, 51, of Charlotte, N.C., that means losing all but about six people – her four sons and their significant others – from her list of 35.

“Christmas is my favorite season. I like to buy presents,” she said. “It hurts.”

A survey earlier this fall by market research company NPD Group found that 27 percent of people said they would cut their personal or business lists this year. But when gift comes to shove, not everybody can go through with it. Marshal Cohen, NPD’s chief industry analyst, expects about 19 percent will trim the list.

Still, it’s the first time in the five years the question has been asked that the number has topped 10 percent. It’s usually 5 percent to 8 percent.

“Every year, the consumer’s gift list got longer and longer and, during affluent times, you didn’t think anything of adding people to the list,” Cohen said. “Now, with consumers having to be frugal, the list is not only getting checked twice, but cut twice.”

While it may be a relief not to have to buy for a family friend or your book club, breaking up with a gift giver can be hard to do. To avoid hurt feelings and awkward situations, experts advise, be kind and tell the truth.

“Be honest, and say, ‘Times are tight this year, and I’m having to cut back. Do you mind if we don’t do gifts?’” said Peggy Post, director of the Emily Post Institute.

And don’t wait too long. Do it early so your friend doesn’t buy you a present before you break the news, Post said.

But in place of the latest bestseller or pair of gloves, come up with an alternative, like a holiday lunch. “Don’t forget there’s a lot of gifts that are free – your attention, your time, maybe your talent,” says gift expert and author Robyn Spizman.

That’s just what Bonsall is doing.

In September, she e-mailed two sets of friends and asked that they skip the gifts. One group of five women she has known since childhood in Philadelphia is saving up to attend her son’s wedding this summer, while another five, who like her live in Charlotte, will meet for dinner.

“Buying gifts for five gal pals would run me $100 (or more) ... but going dutch treat for dinner, I can enjoy a night with the girls and only spend $20,” said Bonsall, who’s got a coupon for the restaurant.

“Everybody was relieved that I took the initiative and said it’s OK not to buy gifts this year,” said Bonsall. And it’s a financial fix for her as well. Of the $200 savings, she said, “It’s huge. It’s an electric bill and a gas bill.”

She and her husband, who does not work, also have decided not to buy gifts for each other, but to go on a date instead. “He is thrilled not to have to go shopping,” she said.

H

igh Point’s most famous Santa Claus, “Santa Cliff” Snider, has an article published in “The Joys of Christmas 2009,” a specialty publication put out by Guideposts magazine.

The article, “Our Santa Secret,” tells of Snider’s relationship with acclaimed artist Ralph McDonald, whose paintings of Santa – with Santa Cliff as his model – have delighted countless fans of McDonald’s work.

The story tells of the common bond the two men share – their Christian faith – and their acknowledgement that, despite their obvious affinity for Santa, Jesus is still the reason for the season.

When Snider first posed for McDonald, he told the artist about how he prays for the boys and girls who sit on his lap and open their hearts to him.

“Sometimes they ask for things I could never give them and their parents can’t give them, either,” Snider writes. “To make their sick mom better, or for the bully at school to stop picking on them. All I can do is pray. So that’s what I do. For every kid who comes to see me. I pray.”

In turn, McDonald revealed a secret about his Santa paintings: In every one of

Take care of such matters quickly. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A move that will lessen your financial stress or enable you to be closer to someone who can contribute to your lifestyle should be made. A relationship or partnership will help to stabilize your life and lead to financial opportunities. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You won’t be able to trust everyone but, when it comes to acting on your own instincts, you will leave others scrambling. If you feel strongly about something or someone, follow your instincts. Don’t let unexpected changes be your downfall. ★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

“The Bridge World,” which can lay claim to being the world’s top magazine about the game, has appeared every month since October 1929. It’s a must-read for experts but has material for all players.

In today’s quiz from TBW, South lands at six spades after North’s “splinter” jump to four clubs promises spade support and club shortness. It’s not hard to imagine South going down – the lie of the East-West cards is unhelpful – but he has a sure thing.

DAILY QUESTION HEART DISCARDS South can draw trumps, cash dummy’s ace of diamonds and lead the nine of clubs. If East had the ace and won the trick, South would be home, pitching two hearts from dummy on the K-Q of clubs.

When East plays low, South plays the king.

West takes the ace but must concede the slam.

A club return or heart shift helps declarer, and if West leads a diamond, South gets a second diamond trick no matter who has the king.

For many interesting features and to subscribe to The Bridge World, see www.bridgeworld.com.

You hold: S A Q J 9 7 H A J 3 D 5 C K Q 10 5.

Your partner opens one heart, you respond one spade and he bids two diamonds. What do you say?

ANSWER: Slam is likely if partner has useful cards such as the king of spades, ace of clubs and good trumps. Minor honors in diamonds will be useless. Bid three clubs, planning to bid four hearts next to show slam interest and diamond shortness. Partner will hit the brakes with a hand such as 8 4, K 8 6 4 2, K Q 6 4, A J. 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.
