“Last year was very uncertain.” Packages from other Web sites besides Amazon.com also have come into the post office this week, and more catalogs to be mailed out to consumers have arrived. For those who plan to mail a gift this year, whether national or international, McMillan urges them to do so as soon as possible so that it arrives by Christmas Day.

HIGH POINT – Mounds of packages and cards flooding into the High Point post office indicate that the holiday season is upon us. Many of those packages look a little different this year, however. “It really looks like Internet sales have taken off this year with the amount of packages coming from Amazon.com,” said Murdoch McMillan, retail supervisor at the post office at 315 E. Green Drive. “This is more than we’ve ever seen before.” The online orders began to pour in the week of Thanksgiving along with the usual packages and holiday mail, he said. McMillan expects Christmas cards to arrive in the coming weeks as the holiday approaches. Retail surveyors were expecting an increase in online orders this year as Web sites offered deals to compete with stores on Black Friday. Online sales rose

Judge cuts bond for suspect in shooting BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A judge lowered bond Thursday for one of four teenagers charged in the shooting of a clerk and the armed robbery of a north High Point convenience store last month. Antonio Del Rio Gutierrez, 17, of Fountain Grove Drive, was not at the Skeet Club Grocery at 1533-C Skeet Club Road when Waqar Gilani was shot twice on Nov. 18, his attorney, Bruce Lee of Greensboro, told Forsyth County District Court Judge Margaret Sharpe during a hearing. G u t i e r r e z , Gutierrez a student at Southwest Guilford High School, was at a park near the store when his co-defendants came running and told him to drive them away, which he did, Lee said. “Basically, they used him as a getaway,” he said. “At the first opportunity, he fully cooperated with police.” Lee said his cooperation enabled detectives to identify the suspected shooter of Gilani, who survived his wounds. ºProsecutors said they were not opposed to reducing Gutierrez’s bond, which was set at $400,000 after his arrest, to $150,000. “The fact of the matter is, he was the getaway driver in the shooting of somebody that could have ended worse than it did,” said Guilford County Assistant District Attorney Seth Banks. Sharpe lowered the bond to $100,000 for Gutierrez, who has been charged with attempted murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury. Two other SWG students, Robert Emmanuel Napper, 17, of Montlieu Avenue, and Gregory Lamar Stephenson, 18, of N. Rotary Drive, face the same charges and remain jailed under $400,000 bonds. A fourth suspect, Bradley Antwaine Stephens, 18, of Crestline Drive, faces the same charges and is being held on a $550,000 bond. According to police, the store, which is located in the Parrish Plaza shopping center near Southwest Guilford high, middle and elementary schools, was robbed by two men wearing hooded sweatshirts who were seen running northbound behind the building. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Showtime Sunday. 1A BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Sponsoring manufacturers met last week to set the dates of Pre-market, an invitation-only furniture event that has gained momentum in recent years. Pre-market is scheduled in the spring for March 15-16, about a month before the spring High Point Market. The fall Pre-market will held Sept. 13-14, overlapping the fall Las Vegas Furniture Market, scheduled for Sept. 1316, for the second time. The event brings in-

dustry professionals to High Point about a month before furniture market for sneak previews of products from major exhibitors. It went head to head with Las Vegas for the first time this fall when it was held Sept. 14-15. Organizers said they were pleased with the results in September, and the event performed strongly against Las Vegas. While Pre-market has shown signs of growth in recent years, the High Point Market Authority said increasing the event’s strength was more important than large attendance numbers. “It’s a very niche and focused event,” said Brian Casey, president of the authority. “We

want it to be strong, but it isn’t about continually growing it in numbers. If it grows too large, it loses the intimacy that makes it so valuable for the people engaged.” Only top retailers and manufacturers are invited to the event, Casey said. There, exhibitors can receive feedback from buyers about their product so that it can be ready for the High Point Market. They can also receive purchasing commitments from buyers. Kim Shaver, vice president of marketing and communications for Hooker Furniture, said the Martinsville, Va., based company participated in Premarket because it al-

lowed them to compete with other companies. “This event puts us in front of 50 of our largest customers,” she said. “They are ready to give affirmation about our products, and some are even ready to commit. We can order the products 30 days before the actual furniture market and get the product to them quicker this way.” Casey said that exhibitors at market that don’t gain commitments usually gain several leads. “We are also indirectly seeing a benefit at furniture market from companies who are following those leads,” he said. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

trade show, geared toward retailers and manufacturers of the fabric industry. Morsell, whose group organizes the event, said some furniture industry professionals have lost their jobs in the past year and are starting their own companies that will exhibit at the show. “These people under-

stand the industry and know the industry,” she said. “This is exciting. It has a feeling of rebirth.” Retail purchases may have lagged this year, but Morsell hopes buyers are ready to update their inventories. “In many cases people have been putting off shopping for new products,” she said. “It looks

like things may be turning around. I think buyers realize they need to freshen up their floors.” She said the stress of the economy also may have caused some companies to work harder and produce better products. “People are challenged in difficult times,” she said. “They are putting

out some of their best work now. Everyone is working harder.” The event will bring an estimated 2,940 people to the city with a $1,346,780 economic impact, according to figures from the High Point Convention and Visitor’s Bureau.

In Boston, the temperature hit 69 degrees, breaking the old record of 65 set in 1932. In Portland, the temperature climbed to 68 degrees – crushing the old high of 55 for the date. Providence, R.I., had a record high of 66, and Concord, N.H., set a record at 65. “It’s not right. It’s De-

T-shirts, while walkers strolled through the city with jackets tied around their waists. David Montero, 36, exited his Downtown Crossing apartment Thursday morning wearing a heavy coat to walk his 2-year-old Boston Terrier named Bolt. “I personally would take this all week, if we could have it,” Montero said as he watched Bolt play with two other dogs in the Boston Common. Still, Montero said he couldn’t get over the sight of seeing people in the grassy park exercising in shorts. “Totally bizarro,” he said. For many, the day started with lashing rain. Central Maine Power, the state’s largest electric utility, reported 6,700 customers in the dark at the storm’s peak.

Cases decline in Guilford County. 1B ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – The second round of free human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine for sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade girls will be available Dec. 15 at Ferndale Middle School. The Guilford County Department of Public Health will administer the second of three required doses. The clinic will be held 4–6 p.m. after school. Parents and guardians must be present and have signed a written consent form for their daughters. Thirddose clinics are scheduled for April. The vaccinations are a part of the Department’s HPV campaign, “Don’t Wait ... Vaccinate,” which is funded by Duke Endowment. The first clinics were held in October. Parents are asked to bring their daughter’s insurance or Medicaid card, if they have one, along with her immunization record. The Duke Endowment is covering the cost for the vaccination program as a special demonstration to determine if collaboration between a public health

The program, known as SETI(at)home, uses Internet-connected computers worldwide to analyze radio telescope data in an experiment to find extraterrestrial intelligence. But Superintendent Denise Birdwell told the East Valley Tribune that the program also bogged

down the district’s system and interfered with technology use in classrooms. Birdwell said it will take more than $1 million to fix the problem, including removal of the SETI software. She says police are conducting a broader investigation. Niesluchowski resigned from the district Oct. 22.

The Gardasil® vaccine is specifically recommended for girls 11-12 years old because it has been shown to be 100 percent effective in preventing HPV infection from the four most common types of the virus if females receive it before being exposed to the viruses through intimate or sexual contact. The HPV vaccine can prevent 90 percent of genital warts, two HPV types known to be precursors to 70 percent of cervical cancers, as well as other HPV-related diseases.

Two face charges in Nov. break-in

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A Davidson County man faces multiple drug charges after a monthlong investigation by law enforcement officials. The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office Special Operations Unit served a search warrant at a James Road residence in the northern part of the county which yielded cocaine and other illegal substances, deputies said. During the search, detectives seized 232.8 grams (8.28 ounces) of cocaine, 404.6 grams (14.42 ounces) of mari-

juana and five Ecstasy pills. They arrested Eric “Chu-Chu� Browne, 26, and charged him with two counts of trafficking cocaine, possession with intent to sell or deliver marijuana and possession with intent to sell or deliver Ecstasy, according to the sheriff’s office. His bond was set at $1.3 million. In an unrelated case, a man faces theft and fraudrelated charges after an investigation by the sheriff’s Breaking & Entering Task Force. Deputies located some of the jewelry stolen from a N. Barons Road residence last month after the victim reported that she believed her son’s friend was responsible for the

theft. The victim provided the name of a possible suspect. Toy James Brown, 29, of Yadkin College Road, Lexington, was charged with breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering and obtaining property by false pretenses, according to the sheriff’s office. Brown remains in the Davidson County Jail facing a total of six counts of breaking and entering, six counts of larceny after breaking and entering and 12 counts of obtaining property by false pretenses, deputies said. His bond was set at $5,000.

Failure to discipline produces problems in schools Paddling is not allowed, but Tasers are OK. Does anyone see the irony in this? I know you’re thinking that Tasers are only for students who are considered dangerous, but the lack of discipline at home and at school is one of the biggest reasons that we have students who get to this point. Parents now live with the threat that someone may report them for child abuse if they spank their own children. Parents struggle with trying to figure out creative, positive ways to discipline. Removal of privileges doesn’t work with all kids, plus, some are often alone at home and may conveniently forget their loss of privileges. Sometimes a good swat, or just the threat of it, brings a kid back to reality. Discipline at school is just not very effective these days. If you ask why students aren’t sent to the office when certain rules are broken, you’re told that the office would be filled with students every day. This would disrupt the school for a while, but can’t we try it for several days and see if kids and parents finally get the idea that we mean business? People often have to be made uncomfortable in order for rules to be enforced. This is not against their rights – it’s called discipline. We all know that teachers can’t even think about rapping knuckles or a palm with a ruler and, of course, the principal can’t paddle

OUR VIEW

ome Jan. 2, 2010, mornings will be more than a little bit different for WMFR listeners. They no longer will hear the master’s voice. Max Meeks – who has been on air since joining WMFR in 1947 when he was a High Point College junior, except for a 13-year hiatus in the furniture industry – will retire after the Jan. 1, “Max in the Morning” show. Meeks, an Eden native who served in the U.S. Navy in World War II, has been awarded nearly every honor a radio broadcaster can claim during his half-century in the business. He has been recognized year after year by organizations throughout the greater High Point area and was named The High Point Enterprise’s Citizen of the Year for 2003. In the newspaper article announcing his selection as citizen of the year, High Point Mayor Becky Smothers noted “Mr. Meeks is Mr. High Point” and declared, “I don’t think you’ll find anyone more universally liked in High Point unless it’s Santa Claus.” Interestingly enough, Meeks was the Santa in the High Point Christmas Parade for many years and, until just recently, took Santa’s role as the Rotary Club of High Point wound up each calendar year with its holiday party for children from schools in High Point. Meeks has been especially helpful to nonprofits, giving them plenty of air time as they sought support for their missions. Always happy to “solicit” donors for The American Red Cross blood drives, Meeks over the years has donated nearly 20 gallons of blood. Meeks is retiring from WMFR, and we all will miss his made-for-radio voice in the mornings, but he isn’t retiring from life. You’ll no doubt see him involved in plenty that’s happening in the greater High Point area.

Veterans win long battle for health care rule change

T

he Disabled American Veterans (DAV) organization’s top priority has been to get Congress to pass veterans health care funding reform for many years, and finally this has happened. We now have the Advance Appropriations for Veterans Health Care Bill signed into law by President Obama on Oct. 22. This victory will ensure an uninterrupted flow of funds for veterans’ health care programs even if Congress is unable to complete work on the rest of the federal budget by the start of a fiscal year. It means there will be no more delays in hiring of new doctors, nurses or the purchase of needed equipment and supplies. In the past, this has caused tremendous problems for veterans needing to see Department of Veterans Affairs doctors; now they can receive the care they have earned. This will be of great benefit for present veterans and future veterans. I am so thankful the Disabled American Veterans organization, that I am proud to be a part of, has finally achieved this victory. By the way, Congress failed to approve a budget on time 20 out of the past 23 years, and many veterans were left without the medical care they needed. Thanksgiving Day has come and gone, but on this day my thoughts always return to 1950, when I was in Korea at a place called Chosin Reservoir. Most of us who were there sometimes refer to that place as “Frozen Hell.” That day 59 years ago, my buddies and I were so thankful just to be alive. The temperature was somewhere around 40 degrees below zero, but the food was good and somewhat warm. That was the last warm food we enjoyed for about two

weeks. Our C-rations were not what I thought was good food, and it was so cold that it was frozen. We soon learned the best way to thaw C-rations was to put it in our parka or hooded coats under the arm. We also VETERAN’S learned you had to “wear it” many hours just to thaw, VIEWS most of the time it was never warm. I ate mostly candy Stan bars and cookies, but they Spangle Sr. had to be thawed because ■■■ you couldn’t bite into them. We had to be very careful because you sure couldn’t get a tooth repaired anywhere around there. I understand there have been real improvements made in the food troops receive now, and I certainly am glad about that. We are just a few days away from Dec. 7. It was 68 years ago, on a Sunday morning, when Pearl Harbor in Hawaii came under attack at 0755. Nearly 3,000 lives were lost, but the outstanding medical response network sprang into action and more than 1,100 survived their injuries that day. It would be wonderful if Americans would stop for a few minutes at 7:55 a.m. and pray that we could put all wars behind us and live in peace. As a matter of fact, we all need to pray for peace on Earth and goodwill to all people on a daily basis. God Bless America and all the other nations. Semper Fi! STAN SPANGLE SR. is a 21-year veteran of the Marine Corps, serving in Korea and Vietnam. He’s a member of numerous veterans organizations.

Pope, Russia agree to upgrade relations VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI and visiting Russian President Dmitry Medvedev agreed Thursday to upgrade Vatican-Kremlin relations to full diplomatic ties, the Vatican said. The step forward on the diplomatic front comes at the same time as a warming in previously tense relations between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Vatican. A Vatican statement said Benedict and Medvedev agreed that Russia will upgrade its representation at the Vatican.

Iraq vice president eyes election law deal BAGHDAD – Iraq’s vice president said Thursday he remains open to talks to break an impasse on holding parliamentary elections scheduled for next month but stands by his demand that minority Sunnis have a greater voice in the voting. A long delay of the elections could complicate withdrawal timetables for the U.S. military, which is keeping the bulk of its combat troops in place because of a possible rise in violence surrounding the voting.

Official: Guinea soldiers open fire on president CONAKRY, Guinea – A renegade faction of Guinea’s presidential guard opened fire Thursday on the African country’s leader, a government spokesman said, amid rumors of deep divisions within the army. It was not immediately clear if he was wounded. President Moussa “Dadis� Camara, who grabbed power in a military-led coup 11 months ago, had left the main military barracks where he lives and works, and had gone to a military camp in Conakry.

India pledges to slow carbon emissions NEW DELHI – India pledged Thursday to significantly slow the growth of its carbon emissions over the next decade, becoming the last major emitting country to announce a climate change policy before a U.N. summit opens next week. The plan is less aggressive than those announced by the U.S. and China in the last two weeks, and one critic called it nothing more than a reiteration of the status quo.

Osama bin Laden’s son denied entry by UK LONDON – The British government says it has refused to allow a son of Osama bin Laden to travel to Britain. Omar bin Laden had appealed an earlier decision by U.K. authorities to keep him out of Britain. The 28-year-old son of the al-Qaida leader wants to come to Britain to be with his 58-year-old English partner, Jane Felix-Browne, whom he claims to have married. Mark Ockelton of the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal said Thursday that Omar bin Laden’s appeal has been rejected. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Portugal’s Foreign Minister Luis Amado arrives at the NATO foreign minister meeting in Brussels, Thursday.

Envoy: NATO to up Afghan forces BRUSSELS (AP) – U.S. special envoy Richard C. Holbrooke acknowledged Thursday that the war in Afghanistan is unpopular, given “the legacy of Iraq and Vietnam,� but he predicted that NATO allies will soon contribute more forces to join the 30,000 additional U.S. troops being deployed there. “We have been very gratified by the strong support of our European allies for President Obama’s policy,� Holbrooke, the president’s special representative for Afghanistan and

Pakistan, told journalists. He spoke before a two-day meeting of NATO foreign ministers that opens later Thursday. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will brief the ministers on Friday. Obama’s new plan for the war in Afghanistan calls for the dispatch of 30,000 more troops, but includes assurances that some of them will begin withdrawing in July 2011. On Thursday, NATO spokesman James Appathurai said pledges from the alliance already have ex-

ceeded 5,000 troops. More than 20 nations are expected to make firm commitments at a force-generation conference on Monday, and following the international conference on Afghanistan in January, he said. After Appathurai spoke, Italy – which has 2,800 troops in Afghanistan – announced that it will increase its contingent by about 1,000 soldiers starting next year. That will allow its force to take full responsibility for Western region of Herat, Afghanistan.

Knox: ‘I’m no murderer’ PERUGIA, Italy (AP) – American student Amanda Knox tried one last time Thursday to convince the Italian court trying her for murder that she is not a killer, urging jurors not to brand her with “the mask of an assassin.� Knox spoke at the end of a trial that has exposed some of the most intimate details of her life, with prosecutors depicting her as a promiscuous and manipulative she-devil who brutally murdered

Putin talks of possible return to presidency MOSCOW (AP) – Wagging his pen and gazing directly into the camera, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin sent his strongest signal yet Thursday that he plans to return to Russia’s presidency, telling millions of TV viewers that he will Putin consider running in 2012. The former KGB spy, who retains huge power despite formally stepping down after his eight-year presidency in 2008, turned in an electric performance during his annual marathon call-in show – cementing his high rating among the electorate and his reputation as Russia’s No. 1 leader. Asked if he was leaving the political stage, Putin grinned and said: “Don’t hold your breath.� There is almost no doubt Putin would win – because of his genuine popularity and the overwhelming political dominance.

Thursday’s session was devoted to rebuttals by defense lawyers and the prosecution, and the eight members of the jury are expected to begin deliberations as early as Friday.

Standing up, her voice breaking as she fought back tears, the 22-yearold American told the court that she feels “vulnerable� and fears losing herself after two years in jail. “I have written on a piece of paper ... that I was afraid of losing myself,� she said, speaking Italian. “I am scared of being branded what I am not,� she said. “I am scared of having the mask of an assassin forced onto me.�

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) – A suicide bomber disguised as a woman attacked a graduation ceremony in Somalia on Thursday, turning a rare reason to celebrate into carnage that killed at least 22 people – including medical students, doctors and three government ministers. The blast was blamed on Islamic militants who have shown a rising ability to carry out sophisticated large-scale bombings against high-profile targets – and highlighted the inability of Somalia’s weak government to protect the capital.

Man robbed in ER dead nearly an hour PHILADELPHIA – Philadelphia police believe a man whose watch was stolen as he sat slumped in a hospital waiting room may have been dead for 50 minutes before anyone took notice. Security video shows no one attends to 63-yearold Joaquin Rivera until about 50 minutes after he clutches his chest, loses consciousness and appears to stop breathing. The one person who approached the dying man instead stole his watch.

Man punches greeter in face at Wal-Mart NORTH VERSAILLES, Pa. – A 72-year-old Wal-Mart greeter near Pittsburgh was punched in the face outside his store and now is in the hospital. Surveillance video shows the employee, Thomas Jenkins, walking near the entrance to the Wal-Mart in North Versailles on Tuesday night. A man comes around the corner, punches Jenkins in the face and Jenkins falls to the ground. Police say the attack appears unprovoked. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Indianapolis firefighters and Wishard medics transport one of the children from Stepping Stones Child Care to a waiting ambulance after the Jeep that Indianapolis Municipal police was chasing crashed into the side of the day care building Thursday afternoon in Indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS – A sport utility vehicle fleeing police officers crashed into a day care center Thursday, injuring four children and an employee, police said. About 18 children were inside Stepping Stones Child Care when the SUV slammed into the brick building on the city’s north side about 12:15 p.m., Lt. Jeff Du-

hamell said. Kara Hardister, who runs the day care, said the crash sent bricks flying into a room for 3-year-olds just before their nap time. One of the four children was in critical but stable condition at Methodist Hospital, while the other three had non-lifethreatening injuries, Duhamell said. A woman suffered a broken leg.

Woman dragged to death by car LOS ANGELES (AP) – A woman driving an old limousine ran over another woman after an argument and dragged her for nearly a mile through Skid Row early Thursday before pursuing police finally stopped the car, authorities said. The victim died at the scene. The driver collapsed and was taken away on a gurney. She was sent to a hospital for examination before being booked for investigation of vehicular homicide, Sgt. Dan Eun said. The identities of the driver and the victim were not released.

Famed studio opens for holiday event BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Hosting the Charity League of Lexington’s 50th annual Holiday House this weekend, Bob Timberlake says the event comes at an “opportune time.” As part of its largest fundraiser of the year, the Charity League of Lexington annually selects a home in Davidson County to showcase as its Holiday House. This year, Timberlake, a world-renowned artist and furniture designer who makes his home in Lexington, has agreed to allow the Charity League of Lexington to use his studio, which has never been viewed by the public, for its event to-

day through Saturday. “It was a great time for us,” Timberlake said. “I’m not getting any younger. It’s the first time we’ve ever opened it up to the public, and probably the last time in my lifetime.” The studio, which was built in 1809 by Henry Shoaf, sits on a 128-acre working farm. In 1986, Timberlake moved the studio, formerly a barn, to its present location. Three years later, Timberlake started using the structure as a studio. While the Charity League of Lexington celebrates its 50th Holiday House, Timberlake is celebrating the 200th anniversary of the studio’s structure. “It’s my life,” he said of the studio. “It’s a place I

have wanted since I was 14 years old. I never dreamed that I would own this. Even when we were building this, I did not dream what was going to happen. This is where the furniture industry stuff started. This is where the largest, most successful line of furniture in the history of the world started and is still going on. It’s still being made here in North Carolina, by the way.” The Charity League of Lexington has decorated the studio’s compound for Christmas, bringing in and decorating 17 Christmas trees, said Kathy Berrier, a member of the Charity League of Lexington and co-chairwoman of the Holiday House. In addition to the main studio,

Swine flu declines in Guilford schools Elsewhere...

Shots available Dec. 15. 2A BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Vaccination clinics and good hygiene practices may have helped slow the spread of swine flu. Guilford County Schools officials reported this week that H1N1 cases have stabilized as vaccination clinics have become more widespread. As of Wednesday, about 3,417 students, 104 employees and one long-term substitute have been reported absent with flu-like symptoms and fevers of 100 degrees or higher. The 3,522 cases include 113 schools. “We are pleased that the district is not seeing as many H1N1 cases as we were back in September and October,” said Robin Bergeron-Nolan, director of district health services. The district saw the biggest jump during October when cases tripled. As of Oct. 2, there were 953 cases reported. By Oct. 30, there were 3,255. Although the numbers rose slightly through November, the increases have stabilized. Last month, the health department vaccinated 189 medically fragile special needs and exceptional students against H1N1 at two clinics held at Gateway Education Center and McIver Education Center. The county health department and commercial providers have offered more clinics as more vaccine doses have arrived. This week, Wal-Mart stores opened $15 shot clinics. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has estimated North Carolina needs 5 million doses based on its population. “We know that in this tough

Sex offender, illegal immigrant charged in operation BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – High Point police arrested a registered sex offender and an illegal immigrant Wednesday after a threemonth investigation into a stolen-property operation. Detectives served four search warrants at locations in High Point, Archdale and Lexington and seized about $80,000 worth of electronic equipment and over-the-counter medications following a probe by the Property Crimes and Vice & Narcotics units into a “fencing” operation that allegedly bought and sold stolen goods. The investigation dates to September, when detectives determined that several shoplifting suspects charged with stealing medications had been taking stolen items to various sites in High Point and Archdale and redeeming them for cash. Detectives obtained search warrants and executed them at four sites: 1721 Tower Road in High Point, 7013 Mendenhall Road in Archdale, 5128 Meyers St. in Archdale and 545 E. Center St. in Lexington, police said. Arrested were Marcus Devin Riffe, 35, 5128 Meyers St., Archdale and Hector Urive Vasquez, 27, of 7013 Mendenhall Road, Archdale, police said. Riffe was charged with organized retail theft, a felony that involves conspiring with someone else to commit theft with the intent of selling or fencing the stolen property. He was also charged with conspiracy to commit a felony, possession of a firearm by a felon and five counts of violating his

probation, which he is serving for a 2007 third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor conviction in Randolph County. During a Thursday court appearance for Riffe, Guilford County Assistant District Attorney Walt Jones said the suspect operated a fence that bought and sold shoplifted goods. Riffe’s attorney, Georgia Nixon, said he runs a salvage company that’s a legitimate business and argued that the $500,000 bond that was set after his arrest was excessive. District Court Judge Margaret Sharpe of Forsyth County reduced his bond to $250,000. Jones said Vasquez was “something of a lieutenant” for Riffe. Vasquez was charged with organized retail theft, conspiracy to commit a felony and three counts of possession of stolen property. An illegal immigrant from Mexico, he was jailed under a $500,000 bond. If he posts bond, he will be detained without bail by federal authorities, officials said. U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement participated in the service of the warrants, as did the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles License & Theft Bureau, the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office, Lexington Police Department, Winston-Salem Police Department, Archdale Police Department and Guilford County Sheriff’s Office. Police said they were assisted in their investigation by several retail organizations that have been hurt by such operations.

Fort Hood cop says career cut short FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – One of two civilian police officers who brought down the Army psychiatrist accused of going on a shooting rampage at Fort Hood said her wounds from the attack will cut short her career as street police officer. Sgt. Kimberly Munley said doctors have told her she needs a total knee replacement, a surgery set for January, but that her new knee is likely to wear out sooner if she runs or carries the 15- to 25-pound gear pack required by her job. “I do want to stay in law enforcement. I’m not going to be able to do what I did before, which is basically work the street,� she told Wilmington, N.C., television station WECT on Wednesday. “It’s going to give me another avenue to look in as far as possibly teaching and instructing.� Fort Hood officials said Thursday that Munley, 34, who was shot in the leg and hand, has not started the process to determine if she’s physically able to do her former job. Munley and Sgt. Mark Todd, another civilian officer in Fort Hood’s police force, are credited with shooting Maj. Nidal Hasan to end the Nov. 5 shooting spree on the Texas Army post.

Tarheel leader Stf. Sgt. Bobby Martin Jr., from Fayetteville, leader of Chaos Platoon, briefs his men prior to leaving the wire at Forward Operating Base Airborne, near the town of Maidan Shar, Wardak province, Afghanistan on Thursday.

N.C. police say operator broke rule in slayings call FAYETTEVILLE (AP) – Fayetteville police say a 911 operator violated protocol by failing to swiftly dispatch police to a home where a man killed himself after gunning down his wife and two children.

Fayetteville police spokeswoman Theresa Chance said Thursday the probe into the Nov. 2 slayings was nearing completion but any repercussions would be confidential. The call from the house

contained the sound of a person moaning, followed by a gunshot. Officials believe Billy Maxwell Jr. killed his family and himself. Chance said an operator did not follow rules requiring a response to

D

ear Abby: I have been married to “Mick� for 22 years – most of them happy. My problem is his communication skills. I have always had a hard time contacting him. He has a cell phone, but won’t take it out of his vehicle. Recently, our daughter came home from college. We had planned to go to dinner with her and her boyfriend. When Mick didn’t show up, I tried without success to contact him. My daughter tried and then my son did, too. This went on for an hour and a half. We were worried sick, so we started calling his friends and co-workers – anyone who might know his whereabouts. Abby, I have a serious heart condition that could send me to the hospital at any time. Mick finally called back and said he had gotten distracted talking with an old friend. He acted like we were crazy for being concerned, and insists he did nothing wrong. All I have ever asked is that my husband and kids give me a quick call to let me know if they’re going to be late so I won’t worry. My son and daughter do it, but Mick refuses. He says he’s the breadwinner, and he should not have to answer to anyone. I have put up with this for years, but now I have had enough. What do you think? – Sick And Tired Of It, In South Carolina

Dear sick and tired of it: Candidly, I think Mick is acting more like a ADVICE rebellious teenager Dear rather than Abby a caring ■■■husband. Because he has been this way for 22 years, I seriously doubt he is capable of change. That’s why I also think you should talk to your attorney about adding another family member to your Advance Directive for Health Care, in case you have a medical emergency and your husband is -- as usual -- unreachable. Please give this the serious consideration it deserves because your life could depend on it. Dear Abby: I married “Marge� 18 months ago. It was a second marriage for both of us. We agreed to sell our homes and buy something together. Mine sold and now I’m in her house. Things were going fine until Marge’s daughter and son- in-law moved back in. It was supposed to be a three- or four-day stay, but it’s now into the fifth week. They always claim to be right on the edge of leaving. Marge enjoys having her daughter near her, but this is stressful for me. They sleep until noon every day and stay up

late. They enjoy all that we have earned throughout our lives, and offer nothing in the way of rent. I am not allowed to complain. I have been given the option to say “Go,� but I know it will cause hard feelings from them and Marge. I am to the point where I’m ready to move out. – Trapped in their house Dear trapped: More troubling than the fact you appear to have been invaded by freeloaders is that you say you are “not allowed� to voice your feelings about it. Marriage is supposed to be a partnership of equals, and if one partner is not happy, healthy couples work out an agreeable solution together. Because you have been unable to do this, I recommend marriage counseling before you pack your bags. With counseling I’m hoping you and Marge can form a united front in telling “the kids� they have a deadline to be out instead of you being forced into the role of “bad guy.� Moving out should be your last option, because once you do, the move may be permanent. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby. com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Judge considers arguments in ‘life sentences SHELBY (AP) – A judge is considering arguments in the case of a North Carolina inmate who contends that good behavior credits should set him free from his life sentence. The case of William Folston went before a judge in Shelby on Thursday. Folston’s case is the first of more than two dozen inmates sentenced to life in the 1970s who argue that credits have cut their sentences in half. State courts have already determined that their life sentences are only 80 years long. It’s not clear when Superior Court Judge Gentry Caudill will rule.

Where is Antarctica? Antarctica is the ďŹ fth largest of the seven continents on Earth. It is covered almost completely by ice; only during the summer months is the outer band, or belt, not covered with a thick sheet of ice. The ice sheet was created from millions of years of snow layers continuously being packed one on top of the other. Seventy percent of the world’s freshwater is frozen in the glaciers that make up the ice on top of Antarctica. Sometimes parts of the glaciers fall off into the ocean and become icebergs. At other times, large cracks can form on the surface ice creating a crevasse. Due to Antarctica’s harsh climate, it is not inhabited by any permanent residents. The lands of Antarctica were not even seen until the 1820’s, and much of it still remains untouched. Modern technologies, such as satellites and airplanes, have helped us learn a great deal about the desolate region. Only scientists can be found on the lands at survey stations at different times of the year. Other people who frequent the area are ďŹ sherman and whalers. They do not dwell on the lands, but in the surrounding oceans in ships. This also holds true for animals. No animals live in Antarctica. Penguins and seals can be found on the coastlines, but they are still considered to be sea dwelling species. Only a handful of living microorganisms, such as bacteria, yeasts, and algae have been identiďŹ ed. The South Pole is located in Antarctica. Much against popular belief, the South Pole is comprised of three spots, instead of just one. The most well-known is the geographical South Pole which is at the southern tip of the Earth’s axis, where all lines of longitude converge. The other two poles are referred to as the magnetic south pole and the geomagnetic south pole. The continent is also characterized by several mountain ranges, such as the Prince Charles Mountains, the Transantarctic Mountains, and the Ellsworth Mountains. Some mountains are almost completely covered with ice with only the tip showing. These are called nunataks. There are even volcanoes found on the continent. Antarctica does not have conventional days and nights which most parts of the world are accustomed to. It remains daylight in Antarctica from about September 21 until around March 22. This is considered to be Antarctica’s summer period. The remaining six months are dark and are considered to be the winter. This is the harshest time in Antarctica. Across Clues: 4.

House votes to extend tax on wealthy estates want to delay action until next year because they are wary of enacting retroactive tax changes. Under the House bill, estates smaller than $3.5 million would continue to be exempt from the tax. Married couples, with a little estate planning, could exempt a total of $7 million. That leaves less than 1 percent of all estates subject to the tax. The bill passed by a 225-200 vote, with all Republicans opposed. Majority Democrats ar-

gued that a permanent tax rate makes it easier for families and small business owners to do estate planning. “In America, it’s not a sin to be rich nor is it a crime to die rich,� said Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo. “This bill gives our nation’s wealthiest families the ability to know exactly what their obligation to the nation that fostered their wealth will be, and it is fair and it is just.� The bill follows the federal budget proposed by President

Barack Obama. But many Republicans called for permanent repeal of the estate tax, arguing it hurts families that pass down farms and small businesses to their children. “The majority claims to be offering certainty to taxpayers and I suppose in a way they are – they are certainly repealing the hope of ever eliminating the death tax,� said Rep. Dave Camp of Michigan, the top Republican on the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee.

Obama hopes to implement new ideas to create jobs WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama on Thursday said he’d heard many “exciting ideas and proposals� from participants at a White House sponsored jobs forum and said he hoped some could be put into action quickly. “This has been a tough year, with a lot of uncertainty,� Obama said as he wrapped up a half-day brainstorming session with some of the nation’s top CEOs, small business and union leaders and economists. He said he welcomed the suggestions as well as some “good, hardheaded feedback� from some people who don’t always share his views in the Republican party.

Congress worries about president’s plan for Pakistan WASHINGTON (AP) – Facing the prospect of more American deaths in Afghanistan as the war escalates, lawmakers lashed out at neighboring Pakistan on Thursday as an unreliable ally that could spare the U.S. its bruising fight with al-Qaida if it wanted.

A crucial ally in fighting the al-Qaida terrorist network, Pakistan is also a major recipient of U.S. aid. President Barack Obama and Congress recently approved a $7.5 billion aid package for economic and social programs in Pakistan in a bid to strengthen the ci-

‘Sexting’: More common than you might think WASHINGTON (AP) – Think your kid is not “sexting�? Think again. Sexting – sharing sexually explicit photos, videos and chat by cell phone or online – is fairly com-

monplace among young people, despite sometimes grim consequences for those who do it. More than a quarter of young people have been involved in sexting in

some form, an Associated Press-MTV poll found. “There’s definitely the invincibility factor that young people feel,� said Kathleen Bogle, a sociology professor at La Salle University.

High blood pressure is diagnosed even if only one number is high

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I’ve just been told I have high blood pressure. Only the first number of my reading is high. The second one is normal. I always thought that a high first number wasn’t such a big deal, especially at older ages. Has the thinking on this changed? I am 77 and don’t like the thought of being less than perfect. – G.D.

BLONDIE

The two numbers of a blood pressure reading are the systolic pressure (first number) and the diastolic pressure (second number). The systolic pressure is the pressure imparted to blood by the pumping action of the heart. The diastolic pressure is the pressure that remains in the blood between heartbeats. Both pressures keep blood circulating. In the not-so-distant past, greater attention was given to diastolic pressure. Higher-than-normal systolic pressures were permitted at older ages. The thinking has changed. Now we know that systolic pressure causes as much damage as diastolic pressure, and it might even be a greater threat to older people than an elevation of the diastolic pressure. A normal blood pressure is one less than 120/80. High blood pressure is one where the first number is greater than 140 (systolic pressure) or the second number is higher than 90 or both are elevated. If the first number is the only high number, the condition is called

isolated systolic hypertension, and it does require treatment. M a y be some HEALTH things you do on your Dr. Paul own can Donohue restore you ■■■ to a state of perfection. Adopt a low-salt diet consisting mostly of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Meats should be lean and limited to 6 ounces a day. Try to boost your intake of potassium-rich foods – baked potatoes with their skins, sweet potatoes, bananas, tomatoes, lima beans, soy beans, prunes, squash, spinach, cantaloupe, orange juice and almonds. Weight loss lowers blood pressure. So does daily exercise, like brisk walking. The same medicines used for elevations of both numbers are used for isolated systolic hypertension. The booklet on high blood pressure describes the details of this common disorder. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue – No. 104, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 328536475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. Dear Dr. Donohue: What can you tell me about pulmonary fibrosis? How long does a person live after he or she is diagnosed with it? How

does it start? Is it genetic? – K.W. Fibrosis is the laying down of strands of scar tissue. “Pulmonary” indicates this process is taking place in the lungs. Its cause is still unknown, so the full name is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, “idiopathic” meaning “cause unknown.” The influence of genes is also unknown. Usually it appears in a person’s 50s, and it often has been present for months or years before the diagnosis is finally made. Early symptoms can be mild. The fiber strands interfere with the passage of oxygen into the blood, so shortness of breath is its primary symptom. Breathlessness can progress to feeling winded even when seated. Supplemental oxygen often is required. Immunizations with the pneumonia and flu vaccines are most important. Combination therapy of prednisone – one of the cortisone drugs – with azathioprine is a regimen adopted by many doctors. Lung transplant is another consideration. Predictions on longevity are futile. Much depends on how greatly the lungs are affected and how quickly the disease progresses.

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

HPU men nip Blue Hose ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

CLINTON, S.C. – Tehran Cox went coast-to-coast for a layup as time ran out to lift the High Point University men’s basketball team to a 63-61 win over Presbyterian College on Thursday night in the Big South opener for both teams. Nick Barbour led HPU with 25 points, including 13 in the second half, to help the Panthers overcome a 10-point deficit midway through the final period. The basket Cox his as time ran out proved to be Cox’s only one of the game, but it was a huge lift as High Point improved to 4-2 overall. Presbyterian fell to 2-6, 0-1. “Tehran is one of our fastest guys with the ball. He can really

push it in transition,” said High Point coach Scott Cherry. “Fortunately he made it all the way to the rim with 4.7 seconds left. Down 50-40 with just more than 10 minutes remaining, HPU got a pair of 3-pointers from Eugene Harris and one from Barbour that made it 52-49. After a timeout, Barbour hit his fifth 3 to tie the game at 52-52, then hit another a minute later to make it 55-54. “In the second half we really zeroed in on the offensive end of the floor and a couple of guys came off the bench and gave us a lift,” Cherry said. “Eugene Harris had a couple of good looks, and when a guy hits a couple of 3s, everyone else starts feeling it. David Campbell had a good game, David Sin-

gleton had seven assists, Jourdan Morris played a heck of a game. It was a team effort, a complete group effort.” The teams continued to trade baskets, with HPU maintaining a slight margin. Corey Law’s dunk made it 57-54 before Presbyterian’s Chase Holmes responded with a dunk that made it 57-56. A pair of Barbour free throws were offset by a Jake Troyli jumper with a minute to go. Barbour made another pair from the charity stripe to push HPU’s lead to 61-58 with 33.8 seconds on the clock. The Panthers ran time off the clock, but couldn’t prevent a Travis Smith 3 with 4.6 seconds remaining that tied it at 61-61. Off a full timeout, Cox took the

inbounds pass and went all the way up the court. “I’m really happy with the way the guys responded when we were down in the second half,” said Cherry. “They made some shots and made some defensive plays.” Barbour scored over 20 points for the fourth time this season, and Singleton’s seven assists were a season high. Harris hit three 3s for his nine points, and Campbell and Morris each scored eight. Presbyterian was led by Troyli’s 16 points, Holmes added 14 and Khalid Mutakabbir scored 10. The High Point men return to action Saturday night at 7 against Winthrop in Rock Hill, S.C. Last year, HPU beat the Eagles in both meetings.

Panthers turn to Moore CHARLOTTE (AP) – Wearing his baseball cap backward, Matt Moore walked into the Carolina locker room Thursday and immediately began joking around with his golfing buddy, kicker Rhys Lloyd If Moore was nervous that he’s about to make only his fourth career start and his first since 2007, he sure wasn’t showing it. With Jake Delhomme sidelined with a broken finger on his throwing hand, Moore is preparing to take over the Panthers’ struggling offense Sunday against Tampa Bay. It’ll come after a long wait in a career that’s required patience. He didn’t start in high school until his senior year, changed colleges, briefly contemplated playing pro baseball, went undrafted, was cut by the Dallas Cowboys, didn’t throw a single pass last season and has gone more than 23 months between starts. “The only thing I can do is be ready,” Moore said. “And that’s how I’ve approached the whole thing.” Carolina signed Moore in 2007, when he was expected to watch and learn behind Delhomme and backup David Carr. Only then Delhomme was lost to an elbow injury and Carr struggled, then got hurt. Aging veteran Vinny Testaverde was signed, but he got hurt, too. Enter Moore. He went 2-1 as a starter to close 2007, throwing three touchdowns. Moore was expected to be the backup in 2008, but he broke a bone in his leg in the final preseason game. Moore may have little to work with Sunday. Running back DeAngelo Williams and receivers Muhsin Muhammad and Dwayne Jarrett missed practice Thursday with injuries.

T

onight I say goodbye to a good friend. Granted, I’ve never met him and he’s not a real person. But after watching his exploits for eight seasons, I feel like I’ve known him for much longer. Adrian Monk, television’s “defective detective,” solves his final case in the quirky, unforgettable show that bears his name. It’s rare that I get hooked on a TV show. Working the night shift just about every night of the week for the past 15 years limits one’s opportunities to catch current programs.

But from the start, I was hooked on “Monk.” I never felt the need to buy a DVD player/ recorder until “Monk.” I bought one so I could record each week’s episode. His obsessive-compulsive behavior and countless phobias became the stuff of legend. So did his uncanny knack for solving crimes. “Monk” ranks as the ultimate comedydrama detective series in my book. If you haven’t watched from the start, I urge you to tune in tonight for the finish. More than anything, “Monk” tells a great

love story as the detective struggles to cope with the murder of his wife, Trudy. It’s the one case he couldn’t solve. Until tonight. One of Monk’s favorite phrases is, “You’ll thank me later.” I’m gonna take the time now to thank the writers, actors, producers and staff of “Monk” for so many years of terrific entertainment. It’s been a wonderful ride.

WHO’S NEWS

---

Former Southwest Guilford High and Guilford Tech standout James Crowder tied his career high in scoring earlier this week in Pfeiffer University’s 137-81 win over Washington Adventist. Crowder had 25 points and also set a new personal-best with 15 rebounds as the high-flying Falcons (4-2) set a new season high in point production. Crowder, who had 25 points last season vs. Queens, went 8-for-12 from the field, hit five 3pointers line and was 4-for-4 at the foul line. The 6-foot-6 guard, majoring in political science and communications, is in his second season with the Division II Conference Carolinas school.

SPORTS THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2009 www.hpe.com

Long wait will end for Tigers or Jackets ATLANTA (AP) – Derrick Morgan can’t remember the last time Georgia Tech won an Atlantic Coast Conference championship. Not that he should. He was a 1-year-old when the Yellow Jackets captured their lone ACC title in 1990, on the way to an unbeaten season and a share of the national championship. “That’s a long time ago,� Morgan said, shaking his head. Ditto for Clemson, a one-time ACC powerhouse that hasn’t finished on top of the league since 1991. The No. 25 Tigers are just as eager to break their long drought when they face the 12thranked Yellow Jackets in the conference championship game Saturday night at Tampa, Fla.

“This is absolutely vital to us as a program,� said Tigers offensive lineman Thomas Austin. “We have a winning tradition here at Clemson. That is something we take pride in. To have not won a conference championship in 18 years, we see this as a unique opportunity for us. We need to capitalize on it.� In a sense, this is a bit of a throwback game. The Tigers once dominated the ACC, winning seven titles from 1978-91 (as well as the national championship in ’81). Georgia Tech was a five-time Southeastern Conference champion and rising through the ranks in the ACC by the late ’80s. Then came Florida State. The Seminoles joined the conference in 1992, and the balance

SKINNER WINS TATUM AWARD

---

GREENSBORO (AP) – Wake Forest’s Riley Skinner has won the Tatum Award from the Atlantic Coast Conference. The league on Thursday gave Skinner its award for being its top senior studentathlete in football. Skinner was a four-year starter for the Demon Deacons and led them to three bowls, including the Orange Bowl as a freshman. He had a 3.08 grade-point average in Wake Forest’s business school. He’s the second Wake Forest player to win the award and the first since Steve Ainsworth in 1992. The award is given annually in honor of Jim Tatum, who coached at Maryland and North Carolina in the 1950s and twice won the ACC’s coach of the year award.

team to a division title. One more win will bring the title Clemson really wants. “People remember champions,� said C.J. Spiller, the team’s star running back. “One of the reasons I came back for my senior year was to try to win a championship.� Georgia Tech also has longterm aspirations. The Yellow Jackets made it to the title game in 2006, losing a yawner to Wake Forest, but that was a mere blip in the mediocre Chan Gailey era. Second-year coach Paul Johnson sees no reason his team can’t compete for championships on a regular basis. “This is what we’ve been working for the last couple of years,� Morgan said. “Now, we’ve got to get it.�

of power shifted dramatically. Coach Bobby Bowden’s team won or shared the top spot in 12 of its first 14 seasons. Then, just as Florida State began to fade, Virginia Tech joined the ACC in 2004 and immediately took over a leading role, winning the title in three of its first five years. Clemson (8-4) went through hard times under Tommy West, including a last-place finish in 1998, and tried to chase down FSU by hiring Bowden’s son, Tommy. There were some promising seasons that never quite lived up to expectations, and Tommy Bowden was dumped. Led by neophyte head coach Dabo Swinney, the Tigers got off to a 2-3 start this year. But six straight wins silenced Swinney’s critics and carried his

Woods’ fall stirs role-model debate NEW YORK (AP) – Tiger Woods was different, or so he seemed, with his unmatchable talent and carefully burnished image. Unlike some pro athletes, he had welcomed being a role model. He was, it turns out, too good to be true, and his fall from grace calls into question the very idea of sports hero worship. “No one has approached this level of perfection on and off the playing surface, maybe ever, without a single blot or tarnish,� said Dave Czesniuk, director of operations for Northeastern University’s Center for the Study of Sport in Society. “The real story here is the meeting of expectations with reality,� Czesniuk said. “The guy’s a human being and we forget that.� Woods’ apology Wednesday for unspecified “transgressions� – coinciding with reports of repeated marital infidelity – was, on one level, only the latest in a long sequence of superstar downfalls. Michael Phelps was photographed with a marijuana pipe. Marion Jones had her Olympic medals stripped for doping that she long denied. Roger Clemens and Alex Rodriguez faced dual allegations of steroid use and adultery. And so on. Woods, however, was unique: a globally recognized brand name that evoked impeccability and historical greatness. His sponsors and handlers, his admiring chroniclers in the media, and especially Woods himself contributed to the image-making. “The public had become jaded and indifferent – they expected Barry Bonds and Marion Jones and Sammy Sosa to fall,� said psychologist Stanley Teitelbaum, author of “Sports Heroes, Fallen Idols.� “But no one really expected that of Tiger Woods,� he said. “Now that it happens to him, people are not as indifferent – there’s more disappointment and more disillusionment.� Steve Elling, senior writer for CBSSports. com, wrote this week that fans and sportswriters, himself included, were gullible in placing Woods on so high a pedestal. “We have learned by now to invest admiration in public figures with a grain of salt. With Woods, we just ate the whole salt lick,� Elling wrote. “Say it with me: Never, ever again.� Woods, for all his preoccupation with mastery on the course, had managed throughout his career to be viewed as more than just a golfer – loving son to his parents, civic-minded creator of a foundation serving disadvantaged

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) – Ian Poulter and Zach Johnson are tied for the lead at 4under 68 after the first round of the Chevron World Challenge.

children, devoted father who said he’d play less golf so he could spend more time with his two young children. He didn’t embrace social causes, and sometimes there were brief flashes of temper or crudeness. But as far back as 1997, he was on record as welcoming the responsibilities of role model. “I think it’s an honor to be a role model,� he was quoted as saying in a Business Week article. “If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person’s life in a positive light, and that’s what I want to do. That’s what it’s all about.� If that was Woods’ goal, Teitelbaum said it had been achieved. “In terms of a role model, he’s A-one,� the psychologist said. “The fans, and especially kids, are desperate to have role models to look up to. ... People have made him the designated sports hero. “When you’re among the high-flying and adored, your public will give you unconditional love as long as you continue to perform,� Teitelbaum added. “But there’s a responsibility to be that much more careful and that much more transparent and, when something does happen, to deal with it openly.� The depths of sudden disillusionment with Woods have been almost tangible. According to Zeta Buzz, which tracks millions of blogs and social media posts, online references to Woods had been 91 percent positive before his recent troubles and by Thursday had dropped to 57 percent positive.

Mangino resigns at Kansas LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – Kansas coach Mark Mangino has resigned just two years after leading the Jayhawks to the greatest season in their checkered football history. The university made the announcement Thursday as athletic director Lew Perkins met with players to give them the news. The school said last month it would investigate Mangino’s treatment of his players. In the following days, many former players described insensitive, humiliating remarks they claim he made to them in the heat of games or practice, often in front of others. But next came a wave of support by former and current players who remained loyal, insisting Mangino

had strengthened the long-struggling program with structure and discipline, crediting the rotund 53-yearold with making them better players and men. Mangino insisted he had done nothing wrong and intended to return for a ninth season. He and his supporters said his trouble with Perkins, who arrived at Kansas after Mangino was hired, stemmed mostly from the season-ending, seven-game skid. After winning their first five games this year and rising to No. 16 in the rankings, the Jayhawks were favored by many to win the Big 12 North. But instead they failed to win another game, finishing the season with a 41-39 last-second loss to archrival Missouri.

Adrian Peterson gets 109-mph ticket MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson could lose his driver’s license after police clocked him driving at 109 mph – nearly twice the posted speed limit – on a suburban Minneapolis highway last weekend. Peterson told The Associated Press he “got a little speeding ticket. I need to be more aware of the speed I was going and not let it happen again.� Peterson was pulled over just be-

fore 8:30 p.m. Saturday while driving his BMW in a 55-mph zone. Peterson was given a citation and allowed to drive away after what appeared to be a “very routine� traffic stop. Peterson told the AP he wasn’t driving that fast. In the police video obtained by the AP, Peterson told the officer he thought he was going “probably about 85.� When told he was clocked at 109, he said, “Seriously? ... I didn’t think I was going that fast.�

ATLANTA (AP) – The Braves made another move to strengthen their pitching staff Thursday, agreeing to a $3.2-million, one-year contract with reliever Takashi Saito. Saito, who turns 40 in February, has 83 saves in four major league seasons after a long career in Japan. He made the NL All-Star team in 2007, when he had 39 saves for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Last season, the righthander went 3-3 with two saves and a 2.43 ERA in a setup role for the Boston Red Sox. Saito is expected to remain in that spot with the Braves, who signed closer Billy Wagner to a $7-million, one-year deal on Wednesday. Braves manager Bobby Cox already likes the team that is coming together as he prepares for his last season in the dugout. “We’ve got two outstanding relief pitchers in the last two days and we haven’t even been to the winter meetings yet, so we are way ahead of the game,� Cox said. “You’re not going to go very far if you don’t have a great bullpen.�

He has 10 goals and 10 assists in 74 career NHL games.

NASCAR drivers enjoying life in Las Vegas LAS VEGAS (AP) – NASCAR’s top drivers gathered Thursday morning for some last-minute instructions when a sleep-deprived Denny Hamlin caught the attention of his colleagues. “Can we all keep it down in here for Denny,” quipped Tony Stewart to a chorus of laughter. Ah, Vegas. After 28 years of celebrating its season-ending awards ceremony in New York, NASCAR moved West and the party hasn’t stopped since four-time series champion Jimmie Johnson rolled into town on Tuesday evening.

The festivities have included a raunchy roast of Johnson at Las Vegas Motor Speedway that was open to fans, and a parade lap of stock cars down the famed Strip. The top 12 drivers are playing high-rollers all over the city, and the experience is decidedly different from New York. “It’s a more casual atmosphere,” said Hamlin, who has two of the themed suites booked at The Palms. “It seems everyone is having more fun. It’s not as stuffy as New York. When we were there, we’d do our events and then it seemed you just went back to the room

and sat there until it was time to go out at night. Here, there’s just so much to do.” New York worked for NASCAR for nearly three decades as the sport tried to attract an important market that is missing from the February-to-November season. NASCAR wanted Madison Avenue’s attention, and the three-day swing through the city typically met its needs. But the logistics often were complicated, and the electricity had seemed to fizzle several years ago, giving what was supposed to be a celebration a very starchy feeling.

Vegas has changed all that. A stroll through the casino at host hotel The Wynn means seeing championship-winning crew chief Chad Knaus playing blackjack by himself, or Greg Biffle throwing the dice at a craps table. Hamlin and Las Vegas native Kurt Busch have hit the nightclubs, while Ryan Newman was headed to a show. “We go to New York to celebrate,” Busch said early in Wednesday’s roast of Johnson. “We go to Vegas to party!” The roast has been the talk of the week so far, as the 12 drivers in attendance all got a chance to

take shots at Johnson, the driver who has dominated them the last four seasons. Comedian Kevin Burke got the crowd warmed up with several jokes directed straight at the drivers, and then it was their turn. “You’ve got everything on me,” teammate Jeff Gordon told him. “At least my eyebrows are better than yours.” “The only thing faster than him is his receding hairline,” Hamlin said. “I’m not going to say a ... thing about Jimmie because I’m sick and tired of hearing his name,” Biffle added.

Duke loses f irst as Big Ten prevails THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Big Ten finally beat the Atlantic Coast Conference. After losing the first 10 of the ACC/Big Ten Challenges, the Big Ten rode late wins by Wisconsin and Ohio State on Wednesday night for a 6-5 series victory. The conferences entered Wednesday with three wins each. Illinois got one in the early games for the Big Ten, but Miami and Boston College won their games to give the ACC a 5-4 lead. Wisconsin then handed No. 6 Duke its first loss ever in the series, 73-69, and No. 15 Ohio State followed with a 77-64 victory over No. 21 Florida State to clinch it. “It’s so hard because the Big Ten is a great conference and the ACC is a great conference,” Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. “It’s a unique situation for early in the year.” Wisconsin’s Trevon Hughes had 19 of his career-high 26 points in the second half. The Badgers (5-1) never trailed and got a measure of payback against Duke (6-1) after being routed 82-58 two years ago in a challenge game in Durham. Kyle Singler scored 17 of his career-high 28 points in the first half for the Blue Devils and Andre Dawkins went 4-for-4 from 3-point range in the second half to finish with 12. “Their offense just beat our defense,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. Duke had a couple of chances to tie it, but never could in the closing moments, only cutting it to 70-69 on Singler’s tap-in in the waning seconds. “I got a lot of buckets going to the basket, and I got to the free-throw line,” said Singler. “That’s it.”

Fordham f ires Wolfpack great Whittenburg NEW YORK (AP) – The signs were pointing to another losing basketball season at Fordham, so coach Dereck Whittenburg was fired just five games into his seventh season. The player known for taking one of the most famous shots in NCAA tournament history wasn’t able to match that type of success at Fordham. Whittenburg compiled a 69-112 record, including 1-4 this season. “There was a lot of people who thought we should make a change last spring and they rode me pret-

ty hard,” athletic director Frank McLaughlin said Thursday. “I felt that with the strong recruiting class we had coming in, things could turn around. We had a favorable schedule. ... We should be better than 1-4.” McLaughlin said Jared Grasso, an assistant on Whittenburg’s staff the last four seasons, will take over. McLaughlin met with Whittenburg and told him of the decision. “I couldn’t believe how gracious Dereck was,” McLaughlin said. “All he asked was that we take care of the

kids. He said he could handle himself, he wanted to make sure about the kids. I had tears in my eyes.” Whittenburg took the 40-foot shot that Lorenzo Charles grabbed and dunked at the buzzer to give N.C. State and coach Jim Valvano the victory over Houston in the 1983 NCAA title game. Whittenburg was selected MVP of that Final Four His first head coaching job was at Wagner. At Fordham, his only winning season was 2006-07. The Rams were 3-25 last year, 1-15 Atlantic 10.

Stocks slide ahead of jobs report NEW YORK (AP) – Investors grew nervous about the shape of the economy Thursday, dumping stocks at the last minute ahead of a key government report on unemployment. After a sleepy day of small back-and-forth trades, stocks began sliding in the last half-hour. The drop intensified in the final 20 minutes, and with fewer than two minutes until the closing bell, the Dow Jones industrial average was down nearly 103 points. The index ended off its lows but still posted a loss of 87 points. The wave of selling swept through the market like a brush fire and revealed how skittish investors remain. The unease came ahead of the Labor Department’s November unemployment report, which is due before the start of trading Friday.

The Dow slid 86.53, or 0.8 percent, to 10,366.15, but is still down only 1 percent from a 14-month closing high on Tuesday. It had been up as much as 55 points early in trading and crossed the flat line 89 times before day’s end. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 9.32, or 0.8 percent, to 1,099.92, while the Nasdaq fell 11.89, or 0.5 percent, to 2,173.14. Bond prices fell, pushing yields higher, as investors fretted about increasing supplies of government debt. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose to 3.38 percent from 3.32 percent late Wednesday. The dollar mostly rose against other major currencies, while gold advanced. Crude oil fell 14 cents to settle at $76.46 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

that Comcast would wield too much power over entertainment. Indeed, if the deal clears regulatory and other hurdles, Comcast would rival the heft of The Walt Disney Co. — which Comcast CEO Brian Roberts already tried to buy. Comcast, which already serves a quarter of all U.S. households that pay for TV, would gain control of the NBC broadcast network, the Spanish-language Telemundo and about two dozen cable channels, includ-

ing USA, Bravo and Syfy. It also would have regional sports networks, Universal Pictures and theme parks. The deal is a major turning point for Comcast, catapulting the Philadelphiabased company to a media conglomerate and above the pack of cable operators that remain content to run their regional cable systems. “Does the world ever stand still?” Roberts said. Bringing NBC Universal into the Comcast family is “pro-consumer” and would allow the company to more

quickly deliver “what consumers want, which is access to all different types of content on different platforms and different times.” In agreeing to buy 51 percent of NBC Universal from General Electric Co., which has controlled NBC since 1986, Comcast hopes to succeed in marrying distribution and content in a way Time Warner Inc. could not. AOL and Time Warner are undoing their ill-fated marriage Dec. 9. Time Warner has already shed its cable TV operations.

Service, retail sectors disappoint NEW YORK (AP) — Further evidence that the economic recovery will be a slow and bumpy one emerged Thursday with reports that service sector activity and retail sales unexpectedly shrank in November as consumers held back on purchases. The government did report one positive sign: New jobless claims dropped for a fifth straight week. But productivity gains in the

third quarter showed that employers are managing to squeeze more work out of fewer workers. That’s an ominous sign for the nearly 16 million Americans looking for jobs — and for many others who fear losing theirs. The government is expected to report today that employers shed 130,000 jobs in November and that the unemployment rate will remain at

10.2 percent. Companies have been laying off fewer workers. But they have yet to ramp up hiring, and the jobless rate is expected to expected to keep climbing into next year. The Institute for Supply Management’s service sector index dropped to 48.7 from 50.6 in October. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had expected a level of 51.1. Any reading below 50 signals contraction. The

Comcast inks deal with NBC PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Comcast Corp. announced Thursday it plans to buy a majority stake in NBC Universal for $13.75 billion, giving the nation’s largest cable TV operator control of the Peacock network, an array of cable channels and a major movie studio. Although the deal could mean that movies could reach cable more quickly after showing in theaters, and that TV shows could appear faster on cell phones and other devices, it was already raising concerns

service sector had begun growing in September for the first time in 13 months. The ISM measure tracks more than 80 percent of the country’s economic activity, including such diverse industries as health care, retail, financial services and transportation. The trade group said employment shrank for the 22nd time in the last 23 months, albeit at a slightly slower pace.

Toll Bros. loses $111 million, but sees hope HORSHAM, Pa., (AP) — Toll Brothers Inc. lost $111.4 million in the fiscal fourth quarter, but the luxury homebuilder is seeing signs of a turnaround in the housing market. The company’s loss of 68 cents a share was largely due to continued write downs on the value of its land holdings and staff reductions. Excluding those charges, the builder almost broke even. In the year-ago quarter, which included a larger amount of write downs, Toll lost $78.8 million, or 49 cents a share.

ECB to end some liquidity support measures FRANKFURT (AP) — The European Central Bank left its main interest rate unchanged at a historic low of 1 percent on Thursday and took the first steps to withdraw some of its extraordinary liquidity support now that recovery is under way. Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet told reporters at his regular news conference that the economy of the 16 countries that use the euro will grow at a moderate pace next year, but that the recovery would be “uneven and subject to risks” as firms try to shore up their finances in the wake of the most savage recession in generations.

American, partners make offer to Japan Airlines TOKYO (AP) — American Airlines upped the ante in the tug-of-war over Japan Airlines, vowing Thursday to lead a $1.1 billion investment in the struggling carrier to prevent it from falling into the orbit of rival Delta. American’s chief financial officer, Tom Horton, told reporters that the offer is “far superior” to the $1 billion rival proposal from Delta Air Lines and its SkyTeam partners.

Bernanke pleads case for second term WASHINGTON (AP) – Making a case for a second term as head of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke said Thursday that he has the tools and the political backbone necessary to reel in massive economic support once the recovery is firmly rooted. While widely crediting with helping keep the Great Recession from becoming a second Great Depression, Bernanke faces enormous anger from both Congress and the public for bailing out Wall Street, while ordinary Americans are struggling under the crush of high unemployment, stagnant incomes

and rising foreclosures. If confirmed to a second, four-year term, Bernanke vowed to work with Congress to overhaul the nation’s financial regulatory structure and to bring about stronger and more effective supervision, he told the Senate Banking Committee. “It would be a tragedy if, after all the hardships that Americans have endured during the past two years, our nation failed to take the steps necessary to prevent a recurrence of a crisis of the magnitude we have recently confronted,” Bernanke told the panel.

Retailers report surprise drop NEW YORK (AP) – The nation’s retailers posted a surprise sales decline for November after two consecutive months of gains, as a modestly positive start to holiday shopping wasn’t strong enough to offset weak spending the rest of the month. The 0.3 percent decrease, according to one measure, is especially worrisome because it comes on top of a freefall last November as spooked shoppers went into a defensive crouch after the financial melt-

down. Analyst had expected a strong gain. Analysts caution that a better gauge of the month may lie in government retail sales numbers, slated to be released Dec. 11. The numbers offer a broader view of spending, including online sales and results from electronics chains – two bright spots for the holiday season, analysts said. Thursday’s figures also don’t include Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world’s largest retailer.

Natural gas, oil prices drop NEW YORK –Natural gas prices have slumped well below what they were last year, and that trend will likely continue into 2010. The New York Mercantile Exchange contract for January delivery at one point dropped to a new 52-week low of $4.44 per 1,000 cubic feet on Thursday. Oil prices also fell Thursday despite a rally on Wall Street and promising jobs numbers. Benchmark crude for January delivery lost 56 cents to $76.04 on Nymex. AP

Work continues on the construction of One World Trade Center. The Labor Department on Thursday said productivity was rising at an annual rate of 8.1 percent in July-September period, the biggest jump since 2003.

Productivity rises 8.1 percent WASHINGTON (AP) – Productivity surged in the third quarter by the largest amount in six years while labor costs fell. While that indicates inflation is remaining under control, it also signals that workers’ wages are getting squeezed, raising doubts about the durabil-

ity of the economic recovery. The Labor Department said Thursday productivity was rising at an annual rate of 8.1 percent in July-September period, the biggest jump since 2003, while unit labor costs were falling at a 2.5 percent rate.

The productivity gain was revised down from an initial estimate of 9.5 percent made a month ago while the drop in unit labor costs was less than the 5.2 percent plunge first reported. The revisions were larger than economists had expected.

Continental sees delays, cancellations HOUSTON – Continental Airlines Inc. says customers whose flights may be delayed or canceled due to expected wintry weather this week in southeast Texas can change their plans without the usual penalty. The airline said customers on flights scheduled to, from or through area airports Friday through Sunday can change flights on the company Web site, continental.com. To waive the change fee, they must reschedule with travel that begins by Dec. 20. In cases of canceled flights, customers can request a refund, the airline said. The airports expected to be affected by weather include Continental’s Houston hub.

Doll museum welcomes back holiday favorites BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – They’re baaaaaaaack! The Steinbach nutcrackers, one of the Doll & Miniature Museum’s most popular attractions, have returned for their annual holiday season display. “People love the nutcrackers,” says Marlene Hedrick, administrator of the museum. “We put some out every year at Christmas, and everybody seems to love them.” This year’s display includes a couple of newcomers – that is, they’re new to the public, although they’ve been a part of the collection for years. One is Duncan, a Scottish Santa Claus, and the other is an Irish Santa. “I don’t think we’ve ever had them on display before this year,” Hedrick says. “I just think they are so exquisite, especially the Scottish one. He’s dressed like a Scotsman, with the

Scottish clothes and the bagpipes. He looks just like, to me, what a Scottish person should look like.” The Irish Santa, of course, is decked out in green to reflect his Irish heritage. There’s also a collection of nutcrackers representing characters from “A Christmas Carol” – Ebenezer Scrooge, Jacob Marley, Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim. Other nutcrackers on display include Grandfather Frost, Pere Noel, Father Christmas, King of Nutcrackers (commemorating the 75th birthday of Christian Steinbach), St. Nicholas and Good King Wenceslas, among others. About half of the nutcrackers on display are “smokers,” according to Hedrick. “They look like nutcrackers, but they’re smaller,” she says. “Each one of them has a pipe in his mouth, and you can actually remove its head and light an incense cone, and then you put the head back on and smoke comes out of the pipe. They’re really fascinating.” The nutcrackers were donated to the museum by Kathleen Hurson of Winston-Salem.

Triad Health Project, the Triad’s leading HIV/AIDS service organization, on Sunday afternoon will hold its 18th annual Winter Walk for AIDS. The walk will be held – rain or shine – at War Memorial Stadium in Greensboro. The event is held each year to commemorate World AIDS Day and raises both awareness and funds for people living with HIV/ AIDS. “We are thrilled with all of the buzz already surrounding this year’s Winter Walk,” says Addison Ore, executive director of Triad Health Project. “We know that this is a tough year economically, but we have such a supportive community that comes out every year to walk with us and in support of us, and from every indicator, this year will be no different. There are more than 1,700 people in Guilford County today that are HIV-positive; the Winter Walk for AIDS gives each and every one of those 1,700 people a voice that says our community cares for them.” Registration for the Winter Walk for AIDS opens up at 1 p.m., with opening ceremonies starting at 2 p.m. and the walk itself kicking off at 2:30 p.m. Walkers will follow a threemile route through the streets of downtown Greensboro, beginning and ending at the stadium, which is located on the corner of Yanceyville and Lindsay streets. For more information about the walk, call Triad Health Project at (336) 275-1654 or visit the event Web page at www. winterwalk foraids.kintera. org.

CROSSWORD

Friday, Dec. 4, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Tyra Banks, 36; Jay-Z, 40; Marisa Tomei, 45; Jeff Bridges, 60 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You may have to do a few extra things in order to win favors this year. Pick and choose your battles wisely. Consider your early years and, if you have gotten off track, do your best to start over. It’s never too late to begin again or to give your all to something you believe in. Your numbers are 3, 12, 16, 21, 32, 34, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Put forth your best effort and you will reach your professional and financial goals. This is a great day to make some personal alterations to boost your confidence and enable you to do things that you may have been reluctant to try in the past. Domestic issues may surface. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taking time out to make some much-needed changes at home will pay off. You can add value to something you have to offer. A change in a friendship will allow you the freedom to try something new. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You will be faced with far more than you anticipated, making it difficult to carry out your promises. A work-related opportunity will open up, however, compromising your code of ethics may be requested. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Whether you travel physically, mentally or down the information highway, the end result will be the same. What you learn and the people you meet will enable you to flex your muscles in a sticky situation that needs immediate attention. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Socializing will be your thing but refrain from divulging any information that may compromise you late in the day. Keep things light and playful. Romance or improving your current relationship will lead to a brighter future. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Personal problems will complicate your life. Your indifference will be what saves you if someone tries to trick you into doing something you don’t want to do. Make positive changes to your personal life, regardless of what others do. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t give in to peer pressure. If something doesn’t fit your lifestyle, back away. It’s more important that you finish what you start and strive to reach your goals than it is to satisfy someone else’s whims. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Turn on your Scorpio charm. Your fascination with the people you meet will bring about a very special connection, changing your way of thinking and your course of action. Someone you love will broaden your awareness. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Experience may count but so will fresh ideas and the desire to do your best. Take what information you can from the wise and rework what you learn so that it takes on your personality. Confidence and consistency will win in the end. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take what you want and keep moving. It’s slowing down that will give someone the chance to derail your plans or ideas. Love is in the stars so don’t waste time if someone special wants your undivided attention. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Ask someone you feel comfortable with about a problem you are having at work or with your finances. An honest answer may not be what you want to hear but it will help you get back on the road to recovery. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Tread carefully. Not everything will be as it appears. An older or younger person in your life who has a tough situation to deal with will trigger an emotional change. Your support will make a difference. ★★★★★

BRIDGE OKbridge, the outstanding Internet site that lets you compete with players worldwide, has been around for 15 years. The participants in today’s deal were from four different countries – not unusual. At four hearts, South took the king of spades, drew trumps and confidently led the queen of diamonds through West, who had made a passedhand takeout double. East won and returned a spade, and South won and led a second diamond to the ten. He was no doubt distressed when East produced the jack, and the defenders cashed a club and a spade for down one.

ANSWER: If the player at your right had passed, you might have tried 1NT. As it is, you have no ideal action, but if you pass, you might be shut out forever when the opponents bid more hearts. Your hand isn’t strong enough to try two clubs. Bid two diamonds even though you would prefer four-card support. West dealer Both sides vulnerable

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

Who said marriage should be work? many things we know, applying them to our actions is harder than reading or hearing about them. Some people say that marriage is “work.� While I agree with that to some degree, it’s the amount of “work� that is worth discussion. If your relationship is constantly fraught with fights and disagreements, non-stop sessions with therapists, and regular on-going tension in the house, then that is just too much “work.� On the other hand, if you expect simply to slide by without making adjustments in your own behavior and aren’t willing to explore the bigger issues via therapy, clergy, and/or discussion, then you’re not putting in enough “work.� Like everything in life, there’s a balance, and the extremes tend to not work, to beat that word to death. As passionate as I may be about a particular issue, there’s no question of my culpability in any stressful and meaningful argument or disagreement we have. And, to my wife’s credit, she says the same thing. Granted, she’s more emotional, but I’m more stubborn. I believe this is a normal gender balance. And, let’s face it; making up can be a lot of fun. I’m going to offer a few suggestions that will help any relationship. These are ideas I learned, back in my showbiz career, when I attended a weekend seminar by the Catholic church as a prerequisite for getting married in the church. I was developing a murder mystery, a TV movie, set against the

‘Glitter freaks’ love adding magic to holiday crafting BY JENNIFER FORKER FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

or many crafters, glitter makes everything better. It adds sparkle to even the most mundane items, especially at holiday time. Consult a few glitter fanatics and the project ideas pour out like, well, so much superfine glitter. “Glitter can transform any item. It can completely change something old into something new,� says Jessica Okui, 31, a craft blogger from the San Francisco Bay area. Okui’s next project: glittering her young daughter’s dirty, white tennis shoes. She’ll use fabric glue, then lock in the colorful glitter with an acrylic sealer. For the holidays, Okui has glittered origami cranes in gold and silver, and posted the images at her blog site, Zakka Life. Hannah Milman is a selfdescribed “glitter freak,� but that’s little surprise. Milman is editorial director of crafts for Martha Stewart Living magazine. The crafting-industry titan came out with a line of glitter a few years ago and continues to add colors, shapes and sizes (available at Michaels Stores). For Milman, anything can be glittered, and glitter can be most anything. Besides the stuff sold as glitter, she recommends

www.artglitter.com www.artglitterblog.blogspot.com www.hgtv.com/sandralee www.marthastewart.com www.zakkalife.blogspot.com seed beads, sequins and craft-store rhinestones – just use the right glue. Milman recommends an archival-quality, waterbased craft glue for most projects (Elmer’s will do) and fabric glue for glittering on a fabric surface. She can speed-talk through a long list of glitter projects for the holidays. Her favorites: • Glitter seashells in two tones to make elegant ornaments. • Personalize storebought holiday cards with strategically placed glitter (use a glue pen). • Glitter small plastic animals to make a winter wonderland scene. • Find branches, pine cones and acorns, and glitter them. • Glitter jingle bells and worn-out ornaments for the Christmas tree. “You can really achieve all those fancy, glittered ornaments you see in the stores,â€? says Milman. “You can do that yourself, and it’s an heirloom forever.â€? Milman also suggests glittering your own photographs. At Martha Stewart Living’s Web site, a photo

can be transformed into a “glitter by numbersâ€? image. For Sandra Lee, host of HGTV’s “Sandra Lee Celebratesâ€? holiday specials, glitter defines the winter holidays. “You can’t have Christmas without glitter,â€? Lee says. “Glitter is what makes it magical.â€? In her holiday specials, which air Saturday nights through Dec. 19, Lee employs a healthy amount of glitter. She suggests these fast glitter tricks for holiday decorating and entertaining: • Use a spray adhesive and dust a store-bought flower centerpiece with glitter. Lee recommends using a superfine, irides-

cent glitter on red roses. • Make holiday “crackersâ€? by filling empty toiletpaper rolls with treasures and wrapping them in gift wrap. Cover that with gold glitter netting (or spray with adhesive and dust with glitter). What, pray tell, is glitter’s allure? “It’s the brilliance. It’s something it does to the synapses of the mind. It just makes you happy,â€? says Barbara Trombley, who launched the first art glitter business in this country in 1983. Today, the Art Institute Glitter, based in Cottonwood, Ariz., makes 400 glitter colors in nearly a dozen sizes and types. “If you hover over a tray of glitter and move your head a little bit ... it makes you appreciate color so much,â€? says Trombley. The downside to glitter is its pesky tendency to travel everywhere a crafter doesn’t want it to go. Sealants keep glitter in its place after a project is finished.

background of such a couple’s retreat and I went undercover with the writer, as an engaged couple. Not knowing each other well, we crafted new identities for each other, how we met, when we were getting married, likes and dislikes, etc. It was actually quite fun and extremely eyeopening for us. Here are some of their valuable suggestions, which apply to first or fifth marriages: • Don’t go to bed angry. • Don’t call each other names. • Let go of old business, old issues. Debate them, argue them, and let them go. • Hold each other’s hand during an argument to remind each other of your connection and love (not easy). • When you agree to something, whether reluctantly or not, you cannot later say you didn’t agree to it. In other words, if you give in, you’ve let go of your right to complain later. I maintain that this short list will enhance any relationship. Thankfully, I have a loving, willing partner, and I know we’ll work through our issues and have a long, loving, fulfilling marriage.

I believe everyone in life has problems and, as A DAD’S I stated to my wife just the other day, I wouldn’t POINT switch mine with anyone OF VIEW I know and I’m especially grateful for our family’s Bruce present good health. Sallan Health is indeed the ■■■greatest wealth, without a doubt. I’m also extremely grateful for the growth of my new career as a columnist, so I have little to complain about. But, second marriages are a challenge, and ours is no exception. Thankfully, we’re both able and willing to work on it. For us, it has meant occasional sessions with a therapist. For others, it may be clergy that can offer an objective view and unemotional help. We’ve also both been willing to read some of the better self-help books.

My first reaction was that we would have learned from prior mistakes, we’d be wiser with the experience of living through a marriage and divorce, and maybe, just maybe, we may have learned something about our contributions to the break-up. And, therefore, we’d not repeat destructive behaviors. When I reflected on the challenges in my own house and applied some common sense, those statistics became more logical. The reality is that the older we get, the more we’ve experienced, the more we’re likely to be set in our ways, and the more stress that is likely to come our direction. By this I mean that with age often comes increased problems. In my new, second marriage, my wife and I have already dealt with the death of a parent, a significant loss of savings via the recession, a severe downturn in one of our professions (real estate), blending our families with my kids, a
