Davidson residents win annexation fight

Paulette Morgan strikes a victory pose with her sign after the attempt by Lexington to annex her area failed. public relations for Citizens United Against Forced Annexation, said the group raised $50,000 to pay for attorney fees as it fought off Lexington’s efforts to annex the areas.

“Our group is fighting this annexation with Lexington, but we are also looking at the big picture,” Morgan said. “We are trying to halt annexations across the state, and we are working to do that. Even with this victory, we realize that we are not safe from being annexed, and neither are other communities until the law is changed.”

CHRISTMAS CLASSIC

LEXINGTON – A group trying to fend off an involuntary annexation by the city of Lexington has won its battle.

Davidson County Superior Court Judge Kevin Bridges recently sent notification to Bob Hornik, an attorney with the Brough Law Firm in Chapel Hill representing property owners in Lexington, that he has decided to side with the residents who did not want to be involuntary annexed.

“We are obviously pleased with Judge Bridges’ decision,” Hornik said. “We think it’s correct. We think if the city appeals that, his decision will be affirmed on appeal.”

Bridges ruled in favor of the annexation opponents, which has formed the group Citizens United Against Forced Annexation, on two claims, according to the judge’s summary judgement.

Bridges ruled the property owners motion “is granted on the claim that the legal descriptions in the annexation ordinances are not sufficient metes and bound descriptions.”

He also ruled that the property owners were correct on their claim that the city “failed to follow its financial policies currently in effect when it required petitioners to pay 50 percent of the costs of accelerated sewer services within 14 days of receipt of the contract.”

In July 2008, the Lexington City Council agreed to annex the Bieseker Road, Eastside, Sapona and Winston Road areas. The city of Lexington later dropped the Winston Road area from the annexation because the city printed the wrong description of the Old Salisbury Road area in the Winston Road area in the city’s adopted annexation ordinance and in legal notices.

RANDOLPH COUNTY – The Randolph County District Attorney’s Office on Friday cleared an Archdale police officer who fatally shot a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill student on Interstate 85 in August.

Randolph County District Attorney Garland N. Yates said in a signed letter that Officer Jeremy Paul Flinchum’s actions of shooting 21-year-old Courtland Smith were “justified under the circumstances and well within the bounds of North Carolina law governing the use of deadly force.”

“It is clear from all the evidence that Officer J.P. Flinchum reasonably believed that he and Officer (D.) Jones were in imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury when (Flinchum) shot Courtland Smith,” Yates said.

On Aug. 23, Smith, a UNC-Chapel Hill fraterni-

ty president, was stopped on Interstate 85 in Randolph County by two Archdale poSmith lice officers.

Before being stopped by police, Smith had called 911 asking for police assistance and telling a dispatcher he was suicidal, armed with a 9 mm pistol and driving drunk at speeds of up to 110 mph.

According to the district attorney’s findings, both officers had been notified by communications operators that the driver was armed with a 9mm pistol and possibly suicidal.

“Mr. Smith aggressively advanced to the officers, forcing them to retreat to the rear of their patrol cars twice,” Yates said.

“He ignored the officers’ repeated and clear orders to stop advancing on them and to show his hands. It

Police issue caution to holiday shoppers

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Police are advising residents to take precautions to curtail car break-ins and other crime during the holiday season.

As people flock to shopping centers and load their cars up with gifts, High Point police typically see an increase in larcenies from motor vehicles this time of year, said Lt. Steve Myers. Thieves walking by rows of cars in large parking areas will look inside for valuables and break windows if they see something they want, police said.

“We ask people to put them in the trunk, including radar detectors, GPS devices. Take that extra minute or two, disconnect it, put it in the trunk so people can’t see it. Get it out of sight,” Myers said.

During the holidays, Thomasville police typically see a 10 to 15 percent increase in shoplifting cases and related crimes in parking lots, such as larcenies, said Capt.

James Mills.

“We try to be more vigilant in our patrol activity at shopping centers, especially in the evening hours when more people are out and about,” Mills said.

Thomasville police are featured in a TV commercial on Channel 13, the local government channel for city residents, that provides safety tips for shoppers.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

CRIME PREVENTION

—

Police offered the following tips to deter holiday-season crime: • Always lock doors and roll up windows when you leave your car.

• Don’t leave pocketbooks, gifts purchased or other valuables in plain sight in your vehicle.

• Shop with someone when possible, and try to park in well-lighted areas.

• Be aware of your surroundings in parking areas and watch for suspicious people near your car. Police said a lot of shopping centers have security personnel who can escort you to your car.

“It just basically involves good common sense – locking your vehicles, not leaving pocketbooks in vehicles, not leaving items that have been purchased in plain view in your vehicles,” Mills said.

Police also have encouraged businesses to enhance lighting in parking areas and make sure surveillance camera coverage is adequate on their property, he said.

“We depend on the citizens, if they see something suspicious, to dial 911 and report it immediately,” he said. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Worms for kids

GREENSBORO – Police have charged the father and mother of a child abandoned Thursday night on the N.C. A&T campus.

Lashawn Murray, 25, of Greensboro, was charged with misdemeanor child abuse, N.C. A&T police said late Friday afternoon. Murray, a graduate student at N.C. A&T, has been released from the Guilford County jail, said university police Chief Glenn Newell.

The child’s mother, 23year-old Tekia Caprice Ritter of 703 Sharing Terrace, was also charged with misdemeanor child abuse, Newell said.

Further charges are possible, Newell said.

The 11-week-old baby girl was found about 9:15 p.m. Thursday night in

When someone goes into the fish hut at High Point City Lake in need of worms, they are usually going fishing.

Unfortunately, the PEC had fed all its worms to the turtles. Gary Gilliam (right), marina operator, was glad to help out.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A WinstonSalem man suspected of killing his wife was found dead Friday morning in Davidson County.

Deputies from the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office found Cory Dewayne Gaither, 32, hanging from a tree about a quarter of a mile from the intersection of N.C. Hwy 150 and Friendship Church Road in Lexington at approximately 7:15 a.m.

Gaither was hanging by the neck from an electrical extension cord wrapped around a tree limb, said Davidson County Sheriff David Grice.

“We discovered evidence indicating that the act was self-inflicted,” he said.

Deputies at the scene determined that the victim had a court ordered 50-B, or a domestic violence restraining order, issued against him by his wife, Allison Gaither. She was found dead earlier that morning by the WinstonSalem Police department in the 2000 block of Ardmore Village Lane.

The WSPD responded to a reported stabbing when they found Allison Gaither lying outside in a neighbor’s backyard. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

It later was determined by the

FROM PAGE 1

police department that the victim’s estranged husband stabbed her an undetermined amount of times and fled the scene. He was last seen driving a white, older model Buick Century.

His car was found in Davidson County, not far down the road from his body.

Deputies discovered Cory Dewaine Gaither’s body after responding to phone calls from three motorists. It will continue to investigate his death as a suicide, and the police department is investigating Allison Gaither’s death as a homicide. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Navy to fund Lejeune tap water studies

WILMINGTON (AP) – Government data from the 1990s that failed to find a link between polluted water and child illnesses at Camp Lejeune will be reanalyzed after the Navy agreed to pay for the new study.

The outcome could affect claims by former residents of the Marine Corps base seeking damages over birth defects and child cancers they blame on exposure to contaminated water.

A letter obtained by

The Associated Press shows the Navy will spend almost $2 million for another look at a 1998 study that investigated cancer and birth defects in babies born to women who were pregnant at Camp Lejeune before contaminated wells were shut down.

The service is also funding a related study of how underground water flowed at the base and how toxins would have been introduced and spread, to show the

extent of the contamination, according to the Nov. 24 letter from the Department of the Navy to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, the U.S. health agency conducting the study.

Water supplied to Camp Lejeune’s main family housing areas was contaminated by dry cleaning solvents and other sources from the 1950s to the 1980s. Health officials believe as many as 1 million people may have been exposed to the

toxins trichloroethylene or perchloroethylene before the wells were closed 22 years ago.

But the 1998 study was inconclusive and critics argue that the data must be re-evaluated once the water models are complete.

Dagny E. P. Olivares, a health communications specialist for the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, said the agency learned about new exposures during another water-modeling study.

Newell said Ritter placed the child seat in the parking lot and left.

He later called 911 to report that a baby had been left in the lot, Newell said.

The infant girl was fully clothed and strapped into a car seat when found, Newell said. A diaper bag also was found.

Paramedics were called to the scene, and the child was taken to The Women’s Hospital and then taken into custody by Guilford County Department of Social Services.

Where’s Muslim outrage about extremist violence?

Meredith Jones, the Teen View writer, makes a heartfelt case in her Nov. 25 column for tolerance of Muslims who are peace-loving.

It’s possibly true that many Muslims assimilate into the American culture the same as immigrants from Europe, Asia and other areas have done, and we should be wary of “hating an entire ... people” for the actions of some of them. Wary, not stupid.

Where is the outrage among those “hundreds” of area Muslims about Fort Hood and other violence perpetrated on Americans by those of the Islamic faith who themselves “hate an entire group of people” – those of the JudeoChristian tradition? Their silence is deafening. Shouldn’t they be the first to condemn murders committed by their own people?

It does make one wonder if they are at heart in sympathy with, at the very least, the “gaming” of the American system.

It certainly worked for those Minnesota Muslim imams, who in 2006 alarmed flight passengers by loudly chanting “praise Allah” and cursing U.S. policies before boarding the plane. After boarding, they spread out, asking for

Choice for customers is buying cable service or not Am I the only person who is fed up with Time Warner Cable’s excuses for upping their service rates? The “Time Warner battles with providers” article in last Saturday’s edition of The High Point Enterprise is a familiar tune.

Just a year ago, the folks at Time Warner were agonizing over the fact that they might have to drop their Viacom stations. If you go to the Web site mentioned in

the article, you see the heading “We’ve got a hard choice.” They try to make their story sound as if only two choices are possible: raise rates or drop channels.

I think that they ought to opt for a different choice: let customers pick and pay for only the channels that they want instead of forcing them to buy a “package” loaded with tons of unwanted channels.

In addition to overcharging for their TV services, Time Warner is threatening to start charging their Internet customers even higher rates based on the amount of data downloaded.

The reason for this policy change is to discourage people from viewing TV shows and movies via the Internet. If people started doing that in large numbers, the cable TV business would become obsolete, and then Time Warner would lose a great deal of money. As customers, “we’ve got a hard choice:” Do we keep sending them more money, or do we quit giving them our business?

I am a member of a slowly disappearing minority that remembers when it took only four people to keep order in school. A father and mother at home, a teacher and the principal.

The only time you saw a law enforcement person at school was when they might be visiting to see their kids at a school function or a ball game.

We have to forget the past because we are told our schools are so much better now and the education is at such a higher level. Do we really accept that when jails are filling up with our young?

The Fayetteville Observer, Dec. 3 It isn’t Osama bin Laden’s head on a pike, but it’s something. And the generals approve. So, with President Obama’s West Point speech behind us, we settle in to watch some more, and to wait – until July of 2011, at which point the war in Afghanistan may begin to wind down.

Some Americans won’t be able to look beyond that date before dismissing a massive NATO “surge” as an extension of the status quo. Yes: our stay in Afghanistan is going to exceed that of the Soviets. The list of disappointments behind us is almost as long as the list of pitfalls and what-ifs that awaits us. Is al-Qaida really a “vital” threat to our nation after eight years of war?

Do the Afghan people, of whom the Taliban are a subset, even want what we’re offering?

Still, there’s a difference between defeat, which is inflicted, and defeatism, which is defeat self-imposed. Obama proposes action. Push the Taliban back, he said. Dislodge them from the cities. Destroy al-Qaida. Require, rather than suggest, that the government of Afghanistan develop the kind of muscle needed to relegate the Taliban to nuisance status. Then leave.

Nation-building is now the official mission there – not what many of us had in mind on Sept.

12, 2001. The president avoided the word “victory,” mentioning only “success,” defined as making Afghanistan an inhospitable environment for bands of homicidal religious fanatics.

Obama’s speech was characteristically thoughtful and articulate. Ironically, though, the two most memorable comments on the surge may have come before and after he delivered it.

Speaking with journalists earlier, Obama said he understood that his plan would be unpopular, adding that “it’s least popular in my own party; but that’s not how I make decisions.”

It’s good that the president knows this isn’t about him and his political fortunes. Thousands of young Americans in uniform, at Fort Bragg, Camp Lejeune and many other places, and their families, already knew that their stake is much higher. They needed to hear it from him.

The other comment came from Gen. Stanley McChrystal, on whose orders 30,000 Americans and an unknown number of allied troops will join the fray. “The Afghanistan-Pakistan review led by the president,” he said, “has provided me with a clear military mission and the resources to accomplish our task.”

Perhaps the public needed reassurance and inspiration. But the military was waiting for something more basic. It needed to know what to do next.

Now, we have socially conscious toys for the tots

A

h, the Christmas season is upon us.

What better time to make our children more socially and environmentally aware.

I refer to an interesting item in The National Post: More toymakers are producing products designed to make children sensitive to important issues.

Little Billy wants a truck this year? How about a bright green recycling truck made from recycled milk jugs?

Little Susie wants a doll? How about the American Girl doll? The doll and her single mother are homeless and live in the back seat of a car.

Unfortunately for me, my parents were unenlightened in the 1960s and early 1970s.

When I was 5, they gave me a set of wood blocks for Christmas. They didn’t care about the trees that were felled – or the fossil fuels that were consumed – to produce such an environmentally “damaging” toy.

One Christmas, they got my sisters an Easy-Bake Oven. That thoughtless product encouraged my sisters to become homemakers – rather than pursue important careers in government or academia – at the same time it employed an energy-gobbling incandescent light bulb to bake the cake.

I trust this menace of a product will cease production when Congress’ ban on the incandescent bulb goes into full effect in 2014.

Worse than the Easy-Bake Oven were the Barbie dolls my sisters got one year. Barbie was unrealistically trim, busty and beautiful and, therefore, bad for their self-esteem – not to mention she was made from nonrecyclable plastic.

And worse than the wood blocks, I received as a youngster was the GI Joe action figure I got another year. That toy, of course, taught me to celebrate war and aggressive male behavior.

Whereas testosterone-induced risk taking has been bred out of many American men, I still suffer from its effects – in no small part because of the lessons Joe instilled in me.

As my sisters and I grew older, our

parents gave us other wrongheaded gifts for Christmas.

One year, I received a Hot Wheels set. Hot Wheels are miniature die-cast cars – replicas of popular muscle cars – that whipped around a plastic track at lightning OPINION speed.

I credit that awful product Tom with my lifelong passion for Purcell cars that go fast at the ex■■■ pense of the environment.

The worst gift we ever got, though, was the board game my parents bought us in the 1970s: Monopoly.

It taught us to celebrate property ownership and that it is better to own than to rent.

It taught us to celebrate capitalism and that only through cautious risk may one attain wealth.

It taught us to be unconcerned for the needy or the precious resources American capitalists so mindlessly consume.

It is because of this heartless game that I registered as a Republican.

I know my parents did the best they could to raise their six children.

I know they thought a child’s job was to play, invent, roam and discover, not be indoctrinated by adults about matters of the adult world.

I know they were so consumed with teaching us basic morals and values, they had little time for much else.

Still, Christmas would have been so much more productive had they been as enlightened as parents are today.

As I said, the Christmas season is upon us. What better time to make our children more socially and environmentally aware.

ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

President Barack Obama believes Pakistan is a key partner in that war, but critics contend that Pakistan, hedging its bets in the event the Taliban eventually regain power in Kabul, has held back against Afghan insurgents who use the lawless border region as a safe haven.

The attack on the mosque, which was largely reserved for military families, was the latest against mostly military targets across Pakistan.

7,000 fresh NATO troops to bolster war BRUSSELS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; NATO allies will bolster the American troop surge in Afghanistan by sending at least 7,000 soldiers of their own, officials said Friday in pledges that U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton described as crucial to turning the tide in the stalemated war.

The promised increase came as U.S. Marines and Afghan troops launched the first offensive since President Barack Obama announced a 30,000-troop American increase. The Marines and Afghan forces struck Taliban

communications and supply lines Friday in an insurgent stronghold in southern Afghanistan.

In yet another war development, U.S. officials said the Obama administration may expand missile strikes on al-Qaida and the Taliban inside Pakistan and will focus on training Pakistanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forces in a border area where militants have been aiding the Afghan insurgency. The offensive was a continuation of operations, not a direct result of Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new war strategy.

Iranian students hit by crackdown BEIRUT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As they gear up for a major antigovernment protest Monday, Iranian students are besieged by a clampdown in the universities, with a wave of arrests and expulsions. At the same time, authorities are intensifying enforcement of Islamic morals on womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dress and menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hair length as a way to punish political dissent.

They say authorities have cracked down at campuses nationwide to prevent the demonstrations from becoming widespread and that students recruited by the pro-government Basij militiamen are on the watch, informing on classmates suspected of being pro-opposition â&#x20AC;&#x153;troublemakers.â&#x20AC;?

Spanish sacred art on display INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; El Grecoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision of the veil of Veronica hangs near a golden crown with 447 emeralds. Just a few steps away, a recumbent sculpture of the crucified Jesus Christ rests before its return to a Spanish hermitage in time for Holy Week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sacred Spain: Art and Belief in the Spanish Worldâ&#x20AC;? at the Indianapolis Museum of Art is drawing visitors from around the world for an unprecedented exhibition of 71 pieces from 45 lenders â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many of them private â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in Spain, Mexico, Peru and other countries.

Madridâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prado has loaned five works alone.

The free exhibition, which continues through Jan. 3, has thrilled experts and other visitors alike.

Harvard Art Museum curator and cultural historian Ivan Gaskell said it inspired him intellectually like no other exhibition he has seen this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was moved by the totality of the exhibition, by the selection,â&#x20AC;? Gaskell said.

First conceived more than a decade ago and more than three years in development, the exhibit wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t travel beyond In-

dianapolis. Many pieces must return home to convents and parishes in time for Lenten observances that begin Feb. 17.

Others rarely go on public display at all. A private collector loaned the golden Crown of the Andes, originally cast three to four centuries ago to adorn a statue of the Virgin Mary in a Colombian cathedral. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputed to be the oldest and largest collection of emeralds in the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The owners of the objects want them back,â&#x20AC;? exhibition curator Ronda Kasl said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sacred Spainâ&#x20AC;? reunites

Juan de Valdes Lealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s twin paintings â&#x20AC;&#x153;Allegory of Vanityâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Allegory of Salvation,â&#x20AC;? which had been separated since they were sold at auction in 1938. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the first works the visitor encounters as Kasl introduces the exhibition with a gallery called â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Defense of Images.â&#x20AC;?

The Roman Catholic Churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 18-year Council of Trent ending in 1563 answered charges of idolatry in artwork by upholding the ability of paintings, sculptures and other works to inspire devotion and to stir the faithful.

Why did Herod go to extremes?

O

ut of all the characters in the birth story of Jesus, only one is portrayed as mean: King Herod.

Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, the Magi (3 Wise Men or 3 Kings) – even the innkeeper – all are positive participants. But Herod was wicked, the only one in the whole bunch. Yet, why was Herod so mean? First let’s review the story and then discuss Herod’s attitude.

Matthew 2:1-21: “After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, ‘Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.’ When King Herod heard this, he was disturbed. … Then Herod … sent them to Bethlehem and said, ‘Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him” … On coming to the house, they saw the child … And having been warned in a dream not to

go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route. When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. ‘Get up,’ he said, ‘take the child and his mother and STUDYING escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for THE CHURCH Herod is going to search for the child to kill him …

Mark When Herod realized that Nickens he had been outwitted by ■■■ the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were 2 years old and under …

After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, ‘Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to take the child’s life are dead.’ ” So, why was Herod so intent on kill-

ing the newborn Jesus? To understand that, we have to examine Herod’s life.

First things first, and this may sound bizarre: Herod was not a real Jew, nor was he a real king.

Herod (73 B.C. to 4 B.C.) was an Idumean; they were descended from the Edomites, mentioned in the Old Testament. The Jews conquered Idumea around 125 B.C., and required all the Idumeans to convert to Judaism.

Herod was not a real king, instead he was granted his kingship by the Roman Empire. Herod’s father had not been king of Israel, nor his father’s father. As a matter of fact, the Roman Senate declared him “King of the Jews” around the year 40 B.C. So, by the time Jesus was born, Herod was an old man. Once he died, his kingdom would be divided among his sons. But Herod was not assured of this happening. After all, he was only made king by Roman decree. He knew that his rule lasted only as long as (1) the

Romans were happy and (2) any other threat to the throne was destroyed.

So it happens that one day some Magi show up in Jerusalem, wanting to find the “newborn king.” By this time, Herod was in his early 70s, and his sons were grown. He immediately saw this as a threat to his (and his sons’) throne.

So he acted in the only way that a puppet king would: he killed the competition.

And why did he go to these extremes?

Because he had been granted his kingship by an act of the Roman Senate and wanted to pass it onto his sons. If the kingship had been in his family for generations, he would have laughed at the Magi because his rule would have been secure. But he became king by going through the back door (the Romans) and so he had to squash any threats.

It sounds new after 2,000 years D

istinguished scholars, theologians, intellectuals, authors and public platform speakers stood before 2,500 of their colleagues, university students and professors, national leaders, pastors, writers and a lot of high school students.

The presentations during these fastpaced hours dealt with this statement: “The next big thing in Christianity has been around for 2,000 years.” Yet for many, it is new and unheard of. The conference theme was “Apologetics & The Local Church.”

Apologetics, if you are wondering, is an old word right out of the century in which Jesus Christ was born on planet Earth. The Greek word for apologetics appears in the Bible several times and is often translated as “answer” and “reason.” “Apologia” is an ancient legal term that means “a defense.” Apologetics deal with knowing, understanding correctly, defending accurately and applying the Word of God and Christianity in ways that make a practical and positive difference in our culture.

A man said in my hearing, “I never apologize for being a Christian and

nobody should.” That is not what “apologetics” is about. It is God desiring “ … all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (I Timothy 2:4).

The world is filled with SHARING belief systems, which proclaim they are right, THE SPIRIT correct, and filled with truth. The truth is that Bill most of them are dead Ellis wrong – wrong and dead.

■■■ Dr. Alex McFarland, president of Southern Evangelical Seminary, Charlotte, author of eight books, writes, “Each Christian needs to be preemptively equipped for the intellectual questions and spiritual challenges that inevitably come. Apologetics content helps by demonstrating that Christianity is credible, reasonable, and relevant.”

Apologetics is not just for theologians, scholars and pastors. It is for every believer – every church member no matter where they are in the growth cycle toward Christian maturity. Few

Christians, congregational leaders and all too often pastors do not know what basic Christianity teaches, cannot offer a positive defense for what they say they believe and are lost in any debate in the market place of ideas.

McFarland says, “Worldview refers to what we believe. ‘Apologetics’ is all about why we believe the things we believe. People today need to learn about both.”

For up-to-date information about the 2010 National Conference on Christian Apologetics, go to www.NationalApologeticsConference.com or call 1-800-77TRUTH or 704-847-2600. The tentative date for the next conference is Nov. 12-13. This conference presents annually the top echelon of apologists. In this meeting, we heard Chuck Colson, William Lane Craig, Hank Hanegraaff, Os Guiness, Dinesh C’Souza, Ken Boa, Gary Habermas and inspirational speakers like Kay Arthur and Will Graham.

In other years, we have listened to Lee Strobel, Josh McDowell, Ravi Zacharias, Erwin Lutzer, John Ankerberg and the dean of apologists, author of more than

60 scholarly books, Norman L. Geisler.

When I was just barely ready to enter teenage years, I came under the influence of what I thought was a very old preacher by the name of Luther B. Mays, who lived in the historic town of Malden, W.Va., just a few miles east of the Charleston, the state capital. He taught and preached until it stuck into my consciousness, “If you miss knowing and living the truth, everything else cannot make up for it.

To him, and now to me, knowing and obeying the truth is paramount in all of life. We cannot possibly know what life can really be if we do not live by absolute truth.

Governor Pontus Pilate, presiding over a mocking trial of Jesus Christ, asked, “What is truth?” (John 18:38).

My wish for you is that you, your pastor and many people from your church and circle of friends will attend the next “National Conference on Christian Apologetics.” You, like thousands of others, will realize how very important it is.

(AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Some Virginia Tech administrators warned their families and ordered the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office locked well before the rest of the campus was notified a gunman was on the loose, according to a revised state report on the deadliest shooting rampage in U.S. history.

Woman gives birth on flight to Denver DENVER â&#x20AC;&#x201C;A woman gave birth to a baby boy on a Southwest Airlines flight from Chicago that had to be diverted to Denver International Airport.

Southwest spokesman Paul Flaningan says Flight 441 was about 100 miles north of Denver Friday when the unidentified woman went into labor.

Flaningan says the captain decided to divert to Denver but she started to deliver the baby en route.

A doctor and two nurses on board helped deliver the baby at the back of the plane.

Lorrie Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plea came four days before she was to go to trial on second-degree murder and other charges.

The body of 9-yearold Shylae Thomas was found inside a 33-gallon container in a storage unit in Vienna Township, about 65 miles northwest of Detroit, in April.

The report adds to the long list of apCho parent missteps by university officials before, during and after the 2007 rampage by Seung-Hui Cho. The mentally ill student shot two students to death in a dorm, then three hours later chained the doors of a classroom building and killed 30 more people before committing suicide.

A state-appointed panel that wrote a report two years ago issued an up-

on suspicion of being accessories to murder, said Hemet police Capt. Tony Margis.

Police have also issued an arrest warrant for Felicia Sharp, 17, and a 21-year-old man named Rene LopezFregozo, Margis said.

Lopez-Fregozo is wanted for being an accessory to murder, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately clear what charges Sharp could face.

HIGH POINT – Many Americans take the basic necessity of shoes for granted.

For the impoverished and barefoot people of Africa, Asia, South America and the Caribbean, shoes are a needed barrier against disease.

Northwood Elementary School students have joined a campaign to send shoes to some of the poorest people in the world by filling large boxes with gently-used basic shoes.

For as many as an estimated 1 billion people, shoes can be a rarity.

It is not uncommon for children in tropical areas to never get a pair of shoes.

“These people who don’t have shoes need them,” said Dynayn Harper, 7, who donated 12 shoes. “It was fun to do.”

In many developing countries where stagnant water is a problem, parasitic diseases are common.

Parasites breed in contaminated water where children sometimes swim.

“These diseases can be cured with a pair of shoes and medication,” said Sara Harper, a PTA leader. “We decided to help with shoes. So many

The school is a drop site for donations. “This is a good project for children,” said Julie Melton, Community in Schools coordinator. “Many children don’t know how badly these people need shoes, and it is a chance for them to give something back.”

The children’s goal is to collect 3,000 pairs of shoes for adults and children.

Agency sees less participation in program

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The names of children in need on the Salvation Army’s Angel Trees have disappeared at a slower rate this year, according to organization officials.

Less than half of about 1,600 names on the two trees in Oak Hollow Mall had been adopted as of Friday, said Anjani Webb, development and marketing coordinator for the High Point office.

Adoptions usually start off slow in November but pick up the day after Thanksgiving, she said. This year, the trend has been the opposite for the program, scheduled

Salvation Army volunteer Jean Herring accepts an Angel Tree donation from High Point University freshman Wesley Clinton at Oak Hollow Mall. to end Tuesday. “Adoptions have decreased, down to only six per day,” said Capt. Vicki Perez. “The Saturday after Thanksgiving only resulted in 12 adoptions at Oak Hollow Mall.”

While the Salvation Army

originally asked the public to adopt the names and turn in presents by Tuesday, Webb said arrangements can be made to drop the toys off at a later date by calling their office at 881-5400. “We really need the presents as soon as

possible because our warehouse turns into a toy factory next week,” she said about organizing the toys for distribution. “But we will take some items later if arrangements are made.”

The trees are located in the mall on the first level by Santa Claus and in Sears. They bear the names of children who need basic essentials such as jeans and underwear, but also include one “wish” item on their list, usually a toy. The average cost of items on an Angel Tree wish list would cost about $50, she said. The organization has also teamed up with J.C. Penney on a national level to allow people to adopt

and shop for a child online at http://www.jcpenney.com.

Purchases made through the Web site will be shipped to the proper locations.

The Salvation Army strives to meet the needs of each child in its program, even those whose names aren’t adopted, Webb said.

But the more presents the organization has to buy, the more stress it puts on their general funds. “We have come up with some programs to subset our downfalls, but it would be wonderful to have 100 percent of our angels adopted out this year,” she said.

Flea market food drive benefits needy

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Representatives of a local flea market plan to host a holiday food drive next week in an effort to help those in need.

The High Point Variety Flea Market, 1107 Tate St., will collect non-perishable food donations on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Jim Jennings, manager of the flea market, said the donated goods will be turned over to The Salvation

Army of High Point, and will, in turn, go to benefit Winston-Salembased Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina.

Jennings said this is the first time the business has held a food drive.

The idea came about after his wife, Dorothy, heard a radio program that included information from a social worker about how “kids are asking for food for Christmas,” he said.

“This minister was talking to a child and he said, ‘Ain’t you going

to eat?’ and he said, ‘No I’m not eating today. It’s not my turn to eat today.’ So that just kind of stuck with us,” Jennings said. “We love children. We’ve been in church most of our lives. We’re both ministers.

Now I’m handicapped, and she is too. We just have to do what little we can.”

Agencies such as The Salvation Army have reported a sharp rise in people seeking assistance of late.

Large numbers of clients are turning to human service agencies for

food assistance, as well as help paying rent and utilities.

Jennings said the flea market also will accept monetary donations during the food drive to benefit Second Harvest Food Bank.

“We’re just trying to help them out,” he said.

Choose the right tools for proper pruning I

f you have a handyman (person) around your house and you have a landscape at your home, December is a good time to think about pruning.

In fact, it is a good time to buy a Christmas gift for that pruner-wannabe living in your home. So why not combine the two and buy them a gift of the right pruning tools to do the job.

Anyone who is a novice pruner and wants to trim trees and shrubs can do more harm than good if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the correct tools. A carpenterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saw will not adequately cut tree branches any more than a paper scissors will cut wood.

Garden centers offer variations of four basic types of pruning tools. Ordinary hand pruning shears are fine for branches up to ž of an inch in diameter. I prefer bypass type hand pruners instead of anvil type.

Long-handled lopping shears are effective for limbs between ž and 1Ÿ inches thick or for those beyond the reach of hand shears. For heavier work, a cresent-shaped pruning saw is

best. After a big limb is removed, use a hooked pruning knife to smooth rough edges around the resulting wound.

A pole pruner is one that is usually one pole inside another made ECOLOGY of fiberglass construction which extends up Gwyn to 12 feet. At the end Riddick of the pole is a bypass â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; pruner blade which is attached to a rope which can be pulled to make a twig cut while standing on the ground and extending the pruner high into a tree for limb trimming.

The University of Minnesota Extension Service recommends the late dormant season is best for most pruning. Pruning in late winter, just before spring growth starts, leaves fresh wounds exposed for only a short length of time before new growth begins the wound-sealing process. Another advantage of dormant pruning is that

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to make pruning decisions without leaves obscuring plant branch structure. Pruning at the proper time can avoid certain disease and physiological problems.

Prune a small sapling tree correctly and it will grow shapely for the remainder of its life. Where possible cut off branches that grow at narrow angels to the trunk and keep those that grow more horizontally.

On trees that normally have a single leader, or main upper stem, trim back any competitors. Finally, shorten any out of proportion limbs by cutting back to branches that keep the treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural shape and symmetry.

One rule holds for all pruning: Do not leave scraggly stubs. Always cut as close to the source branch or trunk as possible. To do this, make a cut with a pruning saw on the underside of the branch about two feet from the trunk. It will prevent bark and wood from tearing down the trunk. Remove the limb with a second cut on the topside, but start it several inches above the underside cut.

Girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s party plans wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cure motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday blues D

ear Abby: I will be 50 next year. My daughter is determined to throw me a party, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not interested in acknowledging my age. In fact, thinking about it throws me into a panic.

I realize this is my problem, but how can I make her understand that this is something I truly do not want and I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attend? She thinks Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m joking. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 49 and Holding

Dear Holding: Your daughter is well-meaning but insensitive. Because you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make her comprehend that birthdays have different connotations for different people, and that you prefer to â&#x20AC;&#x153;forgetâ&#x20AC;? about this one, plan an enjoyable getaway for yourself the week that yours rolls around and leave town.

And every time you feel yourself going into a panic, practice this mantra: 50 is the new 30. Once you make up your mind to accept it, then you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like so many others â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will believe it and calm down. Aging is normal. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stress thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the killer.

Dear Abby: I recently inherited some money. The amount is enough to allow me to leave a job I find stifling and set up my own business without having to worry about money for the first year.

I am excited about it, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting nothing but doom and disapproval from my family. My

husband says he supports me but has confided that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s afraid Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to plunge us into poverty. My parents and siblings tell me Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m being irresponADVICE sible and wasting money I could be Dear investing for retireAbby ment. They remind â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; me of how many small businesses fail and tell me Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m â&#x20AC;&#x153;crazyâ&#x20AC;? to leave a secure job.

I want to take advantage of this opportunity, but my familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attitude is starting to make me doubt myself. Am I naive and irresponsible? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ambitious in Australia Dear Ambitious: No, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a woman with a dream. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK. Until a century ago, nobody thought man could fly, and now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve struck water on the moon.

HOWEVER, just to cover your bases and see if your dream is practical, write a business plan and take it to a bank to see if they would be willing to lend you money to start your business. If the answer is yes, I see no reason why you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t invest in yourself (at zero interest).

Dear Abby: I am 30 and have been dating my girlfriend, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Megan,â&#x20AC;? for a few months. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 22.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in love with her, but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to get something out of my head.

Megan told me she is bisexual.

She says she has never been with a woman, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attracted to them. I was in this situation before. My last girlfriend left me for another woman, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll happen again. I love Megan and would like to spend the rest of my life with her, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid she may one day decide she missed out on something and want to pursue other options.

Megan swears she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cheat on me with anyone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; man or woman. Should I end this now, before we go any further, or am I being paranoid and worrying for nothing? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Confused in Rhode Island

When the limb falls, cut away the remaining limb stump by first making another under cut that is almost flush with the trunk. Then saw from above until the cuts meet.

Trees that bleed sap profusely in spring, such as maples, birches, beeches and walnuts, should be pruned in the fall. Almost any other trees are fine to prune in fall and winter.

Cutting correctly with the correct tool will be easier, and the wound will heal quickly, and the surgery will be a success. You can then celebrate with a tree that will provide beauty, shade and air cleaning qualities for decades.

Featuring over 20 area vendors, this is the place to ďŹ nd that perfect unique gift.

“Have you taught any of your daughters to play bridge?” I asked Unlucky Louie.

“Right now I’m teaching my teenager to drive,” Louie said wearily.

“If I had a daughter who wanted to learn to drive,” Cy the Cynic chuckled, “I wouldn’t stand in her way.”

If your opponent wants to go down, don’t stand in his way. Today’s declarer won the first club, drew trumps and tried for a spade trick by first leading low to dummy’s eight, his best percentage play.

South could win if West had the nine plus either the queen or jack.

NO OPTION

East won with the nine, cashed a club and led another club, and South ruffed and led a second spade. West played low again, but South put up the king – he had no option – and won his 10th trick.

East should allow South to go down by winning the first spade with the jack.

When South leads a second spade later and West plays low, South will stick to his plan by playing the ten from dummy, and the defense will get three

spades and a club.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 7 5 2 H A K J 9 3 D K Q 4 C A 2. Your partner opens one spade, and the next player passes. What do you say?

ANSWER: Since slam is possible, let partner know immediately so he can cooperate in a slam hunt.

Jump to three hearts. If he rebids three spades, you’ll slow things down with 3NT, showing a balanced hand with slam interest that is only mild. If he raises to four hearts, you can try once more by cue-bidding five clubs.

South dealer N-S vulnerable

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

Peruvian wedding crashed by groom’s ex

LIMA, Peru (AP) – Edwin Ortiz was just about to utter “I do,” but the mother of his two children and her relatives had a different message: “Oh, no you don’t.”

One moment, the 27-yearold Peruvian was sitting happily in a large wedding hall with 17 other couples, declaring his love for his wife-to-be to TV cameramen in the southern town of Miraflores.

The next, two women relatives of his ex-partner burst into the room, rushed up to Ortiz and began pounding on his head and back while screaming at him. The burly women eventually shoved him and his mother outside into a parking lot, where the ex-partner joined in, Miraflores spokesman Julio Hincho said Wednesday.

The ex-partner’s moth-

er, sisters and aunts all participated in Saturday’s attack, Hincho said, adding, “Everyone was hauled off to jail.”

Ortiz described the woman as his ex-girlfriend, but the family insists she is his wife. Police did not reveal her name and did not clarify Ortiz’s marital status. Ortiz registered himself for the mass wedding as a bachelor with no kids, Hincho said.

Help for ballooning waist is exercise and posture

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I am a veteran of submarine warfare.

At 83, I work out at a gym three days a week and walk the golf course the other days. I am 5 feet 9 inches tall and weigh 153 pounds.

I do 15 minutes of heart exercise on a stationary bike and six different abdominal exercises of 150 reps each. Why has my waist ballooned from 29 inches to 35? Is there any hope? - L.S.

BLONDIE

L.S.’s letter appeared four months ago. I asked for reader help and got plenty of it. I’m incorporating that information into today’s answer. Thanks to all responding readers.

At older ages, people shrink because the spine compresses. That shrinkage causes waist bulging.

There’s not a whole lot to do for spinal shrinkage, but attention to posture helps.

When lying on the floor, you’ll notice your abdomen flattens. That’s because the inward curve of your back straightens. Maintaining a posture with little inward back curvature takes inches from the waist.

Abdominal exercises don’t remove fat from the abdomen. They do strengthen muscles that act as a girdle, holding abdominal organs in place and stopping the abdomen from ballooning. The crunch and the bicycle maneuver are two good exercises. Both are done lying on the floor, face up. For the crunch, bend the knees 90 degrees and keep the hands at the sides of the head. Lift only the head, shoulders and shoulder blades off the floor

and hold the raised position for five seconds.

Return to the starting position slowly and HEALTH repeat 10 times, if posDr. Paul sible.

For Donohue the bicycle ■■■ maneuver, clasp the hands behind the head.

Raise the left knee to about a 30 degree angle and touch the right elbow to it. Then repeat with the right knee and left elbow. Try to do 10 repetitions. Don’t do either if it hurts.

As you progress, increase the number of repetitions and the number of times you do the exercises during the day.

There’s more information for you, L.S., and I’ll provide it at a later date.

Dear Dr. Donohue: The problem I have is when I work out in the gym. After I stop and before I can jump in the shower, I break out with little “strawberries.”

The strawberries don’t hurt, but they are very itchy. About 10 minutes after I take a shower, they are all gone.

I take Benadryl before I go to the gym, but it’s not doing much good. There is no history of shingles. I am in pretty good health. This has been going on for about seven years. Is there anything I can do or take, or should I just be happy that they go away? -- F.C. You provide a good description of a condition called cholinergic urticar-

ia, a special kind of hives.

They’re also called heat bumps. They occur when body temperature rises with exercise, but not when usually it rises on other occasions. The outbreak is mostly on the trunk and sometimes on the face, but it can occur anywhere.

Shingles has nothing to do with it.

The rash lasts for 30 minutes to an hour and a half.

A cold shower makes it go away more quickly.

Benadryl, an antihistamine, prevents this rash from happening for some people. Hydroxyzine and cetrizine (Zyrtec), two other antihistamines, might work better for you. See a doctor to confirm or refute my long-distance diagnosis.

Dear Dr. Donohue: Our grandchildren, 13 and 14, play in lacrosse tournaments. There are four halfhour games in one day, with half-hour rest periods after the first two games and an hour rest after the third.

Would it help them to bring sleeping bags and lie down during the rest periods, or should they stay active. -- I.S.

Lying down in a sleeping bag might draw unwanted attention to your grandchildren.

They can reconstitute their energy supply by sitting, roaming around or just hanging out. If they want to take a snack during the rest period, that might help restore their fuel reserves. Peanut butter on crackers, dried fruit or a sports drink is fine.

Leeks help Trojans roll over HPCA

BY JASON QUEEN SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – Springing one leak can ruin anyone’s night.

Two giant Leeks spoiled the evening for High Point Christian’s boys Friday.

Deng Leek scored 18 points and Leek Leek added 15 as the towering duo was too strong for the Cougars, leading the Trojans to an easy 62-40 victory.

With both Leeks standing a

couple heads taller than anyone on the Cougars’ roster, Wesleyan’s game plan was simple.

“We knew we had a big size advantage,” Wesleyan coach Keith Gatlin said. “And the guys played great defense.

“High Point Christian’s a great team, and we had to defend the 3-point line. We felt like that was the only way they could stay in the game, if they hit a bunch of 3s.”

That never materialized for

the Cougars, and as the deficit grew High Point Christian coach Brandon Clifford saw the wind sucked out of his team’s sails.

“Their size was a big difference, but I think the bigger difference was we quit fighting,” Clifford said. “Having a 7-footer (Deng Leek) is a big strength, but we allowed it to be a strength because we didn’t do what we practiced.”

The Cougars fought tooth and nail early, and actually led 12-11

after one quarter. But Wesleyan closed out the half with a 6-0 run keyed by two easy inside baskets

by Deng Leek.

The Trojans put it completely out of reach with a 7-0 spurt midway through the third, pushing their lead to 44-27. High Point Christian never got closer than 14 the rest of the way.

Will Coble added 10 points for the Trojans. Jordan Nix-Denmark paced the Cougars with 12 points, and Ryan Dula added 10.

HP Central sweeps Raiders Defense keys 67-21 blowout in girls game

Bison boys prevail, 59-50

BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – High Point – Of the many factors that impacted the most recent episode of T. Wingate Andrews’s storied rivalry with High Point Central, adrenaline was clearly the most tangible.

Both teams were greeted by an electric crowd at Central’s gymnasium as they emerged from their respective locker rooms to start the game and played with visible jitters for most of the contest. The up-and-down affair remained tight throughout and neither team built a double-digit lead.

In the end, it was the Bison that overcame cold shooting and numerous turnovers to close a Friday night sweep of the Red Raiders, winning 59-50.

“Shaq (Bethea) had lost to Andrews four times in a row and you could tell he didn’t want to lose another,” Central coach Patrick Battle said. “When we were in the locker room, we talked about how we were a bigger team than they were. They really responded.”

Bethea and Derek Grant paced the Bison in attacking a new vulnerability for the Raiders. Playing in its first season without graduated star Charles Goodwin, Andrews is relatively small on the interior and Central’s inside duo took full advantage.

Grant had 14 points to lead Central, with Bethea and guard Akeem Langham pitching in 12 apiece. Mark Johnson had 14, Alex Smith scored 13 and Jamie Smith added 10 for the Raiders.

“I’m proud of how they played,” Andrews coach James Abell said. “It’s one of those things where we’re missing our six leading scorers from last year’s team. At the same time, I have a lot of faith and trust the guys out there. This is their first time being out there on the floor.”

Friday was a clear indication of an exciting new chapter of Bison basketball. Under thirdyear coach Battle, the team is now characterized by a rabid crowd, hard-nosed style of play and – most importantly – a win in the biggest rivalry game of the year.

High Point Central’s Akatia Covington tries to shoot over the arms of T. Wingate Andrews’ Cherish McArthur on Friday. The Bison hit plenty of shots on the way to a 67-21 blowout victory over the cross-town rival Raiders.

HIGH POINT – Friday night’s contest between T. Wingate Andrews and High Point Central quickly became a 32-minute showcase of Kenny Carter’s frenetic Bison defense.

After the Bison grabbed control with a 17-2 first quarter advantage, the undermanned Red Raiders were unable to narrow the margin in a 67-21 defeat.

“We were missing two starters – Elaina Skarote had a death in the family and Sequaya Jackson for violating team rules – but we’re not making excuses,” Andrews coach Weaver Walden said. “We’ve just got a lot of new pieces we’re trying to mesh together right now.”

A trapping Bison defense forced a flurry of turnovers to propel them to a lead they would not relinquish, maintaining the edge from start to finish. The Raiders (1-2) were denied the luxury of crossing half-court for much of the first quarter thanks to Central’s suffocating “D.” Cedrica Gibson keyed the Bison attack on both ends of the floor, turning heady defensive play into easy looks at the rim for Central (3-0). She finished with a game-high 13 points and teammate Arielle Harris added nine.

For Andrews, Bria Byrd scored 11 points despite consistent double-teams throughout the night.

There were the occasional coaching moments for Carter, however, as the game got a bit sloppier than either coach would have liked. Carter came away unimpressed with his team’s execution but admitted to enjoying the Bison’s superb intensity.

“We talked about it halftime.

Our effort was an ‘A’ and our execution was a ‘C’,” Carter said. “We played in such a hurry, rather than playing crisp. I thought we did a little better in the second half. If we can hit our shots, I think we’re going to be really good.”

HIT AND RUN

ollege basketball needs some pretty potent starpower to outshine college football today.

A tripleheader of fantastic matchups delivers the goods.

Don’t get me wrong. Today’s 4 p.m. SEC title game between Florida and Alabama figures to be a classic. And a pair of 8 p.m. contests ought to help any football fan get his kicks. Clemson and Georgia Tech square off for the ACC Championship, while Texas

and Nebraska battle for the Big 12 crown.

But as bright as that college football supernova may be, it can’t hold a candle to the hardwood.

North Carolina visits Kentucky at 12:30 p.m. (WFMY, Ch. 2) in a matchup of the teams with the most wins in college basketball history. The Wildcats are No. 1 on that list, with the Tar Heels second.

At 3:30 p.m., St. John’s travels to Duke in a contest pitting the school with the fourth

most wins in history (Duke) against the team at No. 7 on that list.

The tripleheader concludes at 5:30 p.m., when Wake Forest visits Gonzaga. While these schools don’t crack the top 10 all-time victories list, they are among the most successful of the past decade.

Enjoy the action, hoops fans. Today we’ve got it made in the shade.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

HPCA girls surge past Wesleyan HPU men set for test at Winthrop

BY JASON QUEEN SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; High Point Christian Academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls gave as many gifts as they could Friday night.

Wesleyan Christian Academy was in no mood to accept charity.

The Cougars survived a 7-for-30 night from the free-throw line by using an aggressive defense and timely offense in a 51-40 victory at Wesleyan.

Cougars coach Patti Nance was relieved to get the win despite the poor night from the charity stripe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve beaten them since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here,â&#x20AC;? said

Nance, who is in her fourth year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played good defense, and that made the difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to run sprints if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shoot 70 percent from the free-throw line in practice or games.â&#x20AC;?

Wesleyan took advantage of the Cougarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; woes and led 18-8 on Valerie Bealeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-pointer early in the second quarter. But High Point Christian turned up the defensive pressure with a full-court attack, and it paid off. The Cougars closed the half on an 11-2 run to trail 20-19 at the break, and that set the tone for the second half.

The Cougars kept their momen-

tum going with a 13-3 burst coming out of the locker room, and Wesleyan got no closer than three points the rest of the way.

Wesleyan coach Matt Barber was searching for answers on the offensive end after his team only had one player â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Beale â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in double figures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty obvious our point guard is our best player, and they did a good job of focusing in on her.â&#x20AC;?

Beale led the Trojans with 15 points. Courtney Callicutt and Carly Black led a balanced Cougar attack with 10 points each, and Kylie Welborn and Kathryn Cox added nine points apiece.

Grimsley leads East girls past Ledford

BY ZACH KEPLEY THOMASVILLE TIMES

WALLBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When East Davidson guard Haley Grimsley is on, there is not much a team can do to stop her.

Despite Ledfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best effort to keep the sharpshooter from doing damage, Grimsley poured in a game-high 22 points to lead the Golden Eagles past Ledford 47-35 Friday night in nonconference action. Candace Fox added 11 for East, but the star of the show was clearly her

backcourt mate Grimsley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She always goes hard and has a good attitude,â&#x20AC;? said coach Brian Eddinger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is one of those special ones on the floor, so it is nice to have her to lean back on.â&#x20AC;?

Grimsley scored 12 of her points in the first half as the Golden Eagles (2-1) built a 24-10 lead. Ledford did not do itself any favors in digging the big hole, settling for long shots and turning the ball over almost every other time down the floor. A lot of it, though, could be attribut-

ed to tough â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dâ&#x20AC;? by East. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is part of our game,â&#x20AC;? Eddinger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have got to get those turnovers and get out and run the best we can.â&#x20AC;?

East went up 34-16 toward the end of the third quarter, getting five points from Amanda Baker in a one-minute stretch.

Ledford continued to struggle playing without its top player. Forward Carman Pericozzi was injured in practice on Thursday and was on crutches for the game. That took away a lot of the Panther

offense and left them with a big void in the middle.

Katelyn Todd had a team-high nine points for the Panthers (2-1), battling inside as her teammates kept feeding her the ball.

Her free throw closed it down to 34-21 to end the third. Megan Surles nailed a jumper to start the fourth that chiseled the lead to 11, and Ledford was back in business.

Then Fox converted a driving layup for East and Grimsley swished a 3-pointer on the wing to push the lead to 16.

Trinity boys win thriller at buzzer

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

ROCK HILL, S.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; All the factors are in place for High Point University head Scott Cherry to possibly throttle back on the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; usual manto-man defense in favor of some zone tonight at Winthrop.

One reason is that HPU (4-2) will be playing its second game in 48 hours after opening Big South Conference play with a 63-61 buzzer-beating victory at Presbyterian on Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had some guys play a lot of minutes Thursday night,â&#x20AC;? Cherry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get too fatigued on Saturday.â&#x20AC;?

The other part of the equation is that the 2-4 Eagles have struggled shooting from the outside, especially from 3point range, where they are hitting just 18.5 percent of their attempts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, we can force them to take some outside shots and not let them work it into the paint,â&#x20AC;? Cherry said.

But on offense, Cherry still wants the Panthers to play at a fast pace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to try to push and try to create as

many possessions as possible,â&#x20AC;? Cherry said.

Creating extra possessions could be critical, because even though the Eagles have been a lowscoring outfit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; averaging just 56.5 points per game â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they have allowed more than 70 points just once, that in a 102-66 loss to Clemson.

Fatigue could also be a factor for the Eagles, after losing their conference opener 61-59 to Radford in overtime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be ready because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a big rival coming to their place, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be another good test for us,â&#x20AC;? Cherry said. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

HOUSTON AT EAST CAROLINA

â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

What: Conference USA Championship, Houston (10-2) at East Carolina (8-4), When: Noon Television: ESPN2 Line: Houston by 2 1/2.

Series record: East Carolina leads 5-4.

Last meeting: 2008, Houston 41-24.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at Stake: The 18th-ranked Cougars and Pirates meet in the Conference USA championship game. East Carolina is looking to defend last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title and is hosting the game for the first time. Houston is playing in the title game for the second time and won it in 2006.

Key Matchup: Houston QB Case Keenum vs. East Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secondary. Keenum has been terrific all year, throwing for 4,922 yards and 38 touchdowns. East Carolina has had trouble stopping big passing plays, allowing six TD passes of 43 yards or more.

Players to Watch: Houston: WR James Cleveland. He has 11 touchdown catches this year despite missing the past two games due to injury. He is listed as the starter on the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s depth chart for this week. East Carolina: RB Dominique Lindsay. He has been the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top rusher all season and will have to be effective to help the Pirates move the chains and keep Keenum on the sideline.

ECU hopes to slow high-powered Cougars in C-USA title game GREENVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Scotty Robinson canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything around East Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus without hearing people weigh in on Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s matchup with No. 18 Houston in the Conference USA championship game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been buzzing all week,â&#x20AC;? the senior defensive end said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got people calling me from everywhere to get tickets. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been pep rallies all over campus. Every class I go to, people are saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get this one.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Pirates (8-4, 7-1 C-USA) are the defending champions and hosting the game for the first time after winning the East Division with the best overall league record. East Carolina can become the first repeat winner

since the league went to a divisional format in 2005.

But the Cougars (10-2, 6-2) are the favorite, boasting an offense that East Carolina coach Skip Holtz jokes puts up â&#x20AC;&#x153;video game-type numbersâ&#x20AC;? behind quarterback Case Keenum.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a team that pounded the Pirates in last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, rolling up 621 total yards in a 41-24 victory.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a memory that lingers with the Pirates, if for no other reason than it gave them an up-close look at the Keenum-led attack that has scored 128 points in the past two games and left the Pirates gasping for air last season. And because East Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secondary has allowed six touchdown passes of 43 yards or

more â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including scores of 80 and 96 yards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Holtz said his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oftcriticized offense will have to shoulder a significant burden to help the defense.

That means efficient passing from sixth-year quarterback Patrick Pinkney, who will look to get to the ball to big-play threat Dwayne Harris, and a strong dose of Dominique Lindsay carrying the football. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just go three-and-out, but you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just sit on the ball and run quarterback sneaks and try to inch it out and eat up the clock,â&#x20AC;?

Holtz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be your only goal. You have to try to score points, but the offense is going to have to try to protect the defense some in this game.â&#x20AC;?

Baker wins Piccolo Award

Appalachian St., Spiders resume playoff rivalry

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Appalachian State and Richmond have met each of the past two seasons in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; each time the winner won the national championship.

Both hope the trend continues after Saturday night when they clash for the third consecutive postseason. It is the first time the game will be on the Spidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home field.

Appalachian State (102) had won three consecutive national titles before losing 33-13 at home to the Spiders last season, a game in which Mountaineers quarterback Armanti Edwards threw a career-worst five secondhalf interceptions leading to four Spiders scoring drives.

Edwards won the Walter Payton Award as the top player in the FCS,

but said this week that he and his teammates have been pointing toward a rematch all year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They put us out of the playoffs and embarrassed us on our home field,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a bad taste in our mouth for so long. We finally get a chance to redeem ourselves.â&#x20AC;?

The Spiders (11-1) came within a 35-yard field goal of going unbeaten and spending the entire season ranked No. 1. They know they will be facing the standard bearer of FCS football, especially since Edwards is likely to be healthier than he was in the game a year ago.

Then, coach Jerry Moore said, the Mountaineers staff didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize how banged up their dual-threat star was, but a hip pointer and knee injury clearly made him a different player.

Coaches refuse to apologize for spots in ACC title tilt

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Georgia Techâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paul Johnson and Clemsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dabo Swinney donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel they have to the defend the honor of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Saturday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ACC championship game may not have national title implications of the SEC and Big 12, but the coaches for the 12th-ranked Yellow Jackets and No. 25 Tigers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to apologize for how their teams got here.

Johnson and Swinney disagree with anyone who believes losing regular-season finales to Southeastern Conference also-rans has taken some of the luster off what otherwise figures to be an

entertaining matchup at Raymond James Stadium.

Georgia Tech (10-2) lost to struggling Georgia, plummeting out of the Top 10. Clemson (8-4) was trounced by instate rival South Carolina and nearly dropped out of the poll.

Johnson and Swinneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaction? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to move on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nebraska is playing in (the Big 12) championship game and they lost to Virginia Tech. Do they need to apologize? Pittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing for the Big East championship and lost to N.C. State. ...

Alabama anxious for shot at Florida ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Back in those dog days of August, when the players were just reporting for two-a-days and no school is beyond dreaming of a title, this was the game everyone has circled on the schedule.

Before anyone had taken a snap, Florida and Alabama had already been penciled in for a rematch in the Southeastern Conference championship game.

Well here they are, having survived the gauntlet of 12 grueling games apiece and three months of expectations, scrutiny and pres-

sure with not one slip-up between them.

The Gators vs. the Crimson Tide.

No. 1 vs. No. 2. The game EVERYONE wanted to see. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always in the back of your mind,â&#x20AC;? Alabama linebacker Rolando McClain said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want that rematch. They put us out of our run for the national championship last year, and we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forgotten.â&#x20AC;?

This is the second year in a row the teams have been 1-2 when they clashed for the SEC championship, though the roles were reversed in 2008. Alabama

was undefeated and sitting on top, while Florida had clawed its way back up to second spot after an upset loss to Ole Miss.

Both teams made it through unscathed this time, marking one of those rare times in sports when not one, but two teams do everything that was projected of them.

Win big. Win close. Win them all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a plan to go to the SEC championship. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the whole goal. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the mindset for the whole team,â&#x20AC;?

Florida defensive back Joe Haden said.

Nebraska stands in Texasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; path ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This is it for the Texas Longhorns, the chance theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been waiting for since last December.

There are no tiebreakers or computer formulas in their way.

All Colt McCoy and the No. 3 Longhorns have to do is beat No. 21 Nebraska in the Big 12 championship game Saturday night and they will be playing for the national championship.

Texas coach Mack

Brown spent the past 12 months reminding his players they were spit out by the system last year. He challenged them to â&#x20AC;&#x153;take it away from the systemâ&#x20AC;? by winning all their games and, so far, they have.

Do it once more and the Longhorns (12-0) will clinch a spot in the BCS championship game Jan. 7 against the winner of the SEC championship game between No. 1 Florida and No. 2 Alabama. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a team that

started out in the top two or three in the country, and if we had not been in this game a lot of people would have felt like the team had not lived up to the standards,â&#x20AC;? Brown said Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had pressure every game.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been speculation about a lot of things every week and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it affects them very much.

They just keep playing.â&#x20AC;?

The Cornhuskers (9-3) can force their way into a BCS bowl with an upset.

Notre Dame says â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no bowlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Notre Dame football season is officially over.

Athletic director Jack Swarbrick announced Friday that the school has decided against going to a bowl game with a 6-6

record, citing â&#x20AC;&#x153;unique circumstancesâ&#x20AC;? surrounding the program.

One of those circumstances is that it has no head coach. Swarbrick earlier this week fired Charlie Weis as coach after five seasons.

GREENSBORO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina State running back and former Ragsdale standout Toney Baker has won the Brian Piccolo Award.

The Atlantic Coast Conference said Friday that Baker was the recipient of the award given to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;most courageousâ&#x20AC;? football player in the league.

A serious knee injury in the 2007 opener wound up requiring two surgeries and kept Baker off the field until this year.

He returned to lead the Wolfpack with 773 yards rushing, and has 2,045 career yards rushing.

Coach Tom Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien says Baker â&#x20AC;&#x153;has shown true courage in the face of adversity.â&#x20AC;?

Luck gives Big East title battle

PITTSBURGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Big East didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to add an extra game, book an empty stadium, negotiate a TV slot or split into divisions to get what the SEC, Big 12 and ACC already enjoy.

No, an exceptional season by Cincinnati and a very good one by Pittsburgh, plus an astute schedule maker, gave the conference parity with some of the other top conferences without all the extra muss and fuss.

Finally, after 19 seasons, the Big East is playing a football championship game.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a de facto one â&#x20AC;&#x201D; No. 5 Cincinnati (11-0, 6-0 in Big East) already owns a share of the Big East title, and No. 14 Pittsburgh (92, 5-1) can claim only the other half.

Draw good for U.S. CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The United States will face England at the World Cup for the first time since a famous upset 60 years ago, then play Slovenia and Algeria in the first round of next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament.

The U.S. opens against England in Rustenburg on June 12, the teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first World Cup matchup since the Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1-0 victory at the 1950 tournament in Brazil.

The United States then meets Slovenia at Johannesburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ellis Park on June 18 and completes the first round on June 23 against Algeria in Pretoria. The U.S. has never played either nation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the best draw weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had in any World Cup,â&#x20AC;? said former U.S. forward Eric Wynalda, now an analyst for the Fox Soccer Channel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No disrespect to England, but this is an ideal group for us.â&#x20AC;?

Many U.S. players are well known to England because they play in the Premier League, including goalkeeper Tim Howard (Everton), midfielder Clint Dempsey (Fulham), defenders Jonathan Spector (West Ham) and Jay DeMerit (Watford) and forward Jozy Altidore (Hull). U.S. captain Carlos Bocanegra played for Fulham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be like a Premier League game,â&#x20AC;?

American skier Lindsey Vonn celebrates a tough but productive run during the Lake Louise Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Cup Downhill in Alta, Alberta on Friday. Vonn took first place, but had blood running down her face after biting her tongue.

Vonn dominates again

LAKE LOUISE, Alberta (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lindsey Vonn was in command again Friday at Lake Louise, winning a downhill in falling snow and arriving at the finish line with a bloody mouth. It was her sixth victory in six years on this course in a World Cup downhill.

Vonn, winner of the last two overall World

Cup titles, was leaking blood from her mouth after biting her tongue or the inside of her cheek.

The 25-year-old American finished in 1 minute, 26.13 seconds and was followed by Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Emily Brydon in 1:26.65 and Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Maria Riesch in 1:26.93.

Vonn has won a downhill at Lake Louise every

year since 2004. From 2004 to 2006, two downhills were run annually at this venue with a single race the last two years.

Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race was shortened by 670 meters because the snow created poor visibility at the top of the mountain. A second downhill is scheduled for today, followed by a super-G race Sunday.

Bills: different country, same story

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Even with plenty of Canadian support, turns out the Buffalo Bills have the same problems on both sides of the border.

In what has become a familiar plight, an inexperienced offensive line and porous run defense contributed to Buffaloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 19-13 loss to the New York Jets at Toronto on Thursday.

A fairly loud announced crowd of about 51,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there were numerous ticket giveaways â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was enthusiastic and energetic in a contest that the Bills had a chance to win as the fourth quarter began. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fans were great,â&#x20AC;? receiver Terrell Owens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were into it, and there was definitely some excitement.â&#x20AC;?

But after scoring 24 fourth-quarter points in last Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over Miami, the Bills could not build off that momentum or the vocal crowd. They instead reverted back to form and let the game slip away.

Down a touchdown with 2:32 to go, Buffalo (4-8) saw its chance evaporate in two plays when quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was sacked by Jets defensive lineman Shaun Ellis and then threw an interception to cornerback Darrelle Revis.

Fitzpatrick was hurried throughout the game, and was sacked three times as he completed just 9 of 23 passes for a 98 yards.

The Bills offense converted just one of its 11 third-down opportunities and the defense again was gashed by an opponentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running attack that sliced

AP

New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez (6) walks off the field after an injury to his right knee during Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over the Buffalo Bills. Tests Friday revealed a sprain, and team officials are optimistic Sanchez can return for next Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Tampa Bay.

Nadal leads Spain in Davis Cup

and diced its way to 249 yards. Coming in, Buffalo had allowed a league-worst 165 yards-per-game rushing.

Adding to the Billsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; misery was New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to keep drives alive with key plays. Quarterback Mark Sanchez hit Jerricho Cotchery for a 45-yard gain on third-and-5 two plays before Braylon Edwards caught a 13-yard touchdown pass to give the Jets (6-6) a 16-10 halftime lead.

The Jets then converted a third-and12 at the Buffalo 42 late in the third quarter on a drive that was capped by Jay Feelyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 37-yard field goal to make it 19-10 early in the fourth.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rafael Nadal defeated Tomas Berdych 7-5, 6-0, 6-2 Friday to give defending champion Spain a 1-0 lead over the Czech Republic in the Davis Cup final.

Nadal converted a decisive break point in the 11th game on his way to taking the tight first set. Berdych was hurt by a faltering serve and was never in the match after that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After winning the first set everything changed,â&#x20AC;? said Nadal, who missed last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final against Argentina because of an injury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got up on him. I also managed to find my rhythm.â&#x20AC;?

Returning to his favorite clay surface after four straight indoor defeats, Nadal won 13 straight games in one stretch for his fifth straight win over Berdych. He improved his Davis Cup clay record to 11-0.

Spain is trying to become the first team since Sweden in 1998 to successfully defend the trophy.

Portis still dizzy from concussion

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis continues to show symptoms from a concussion and will return to a specialist in Pittsburgh on Monday and Tuesday to evaluate his progress.

Portis was hurt Nov. 8 against Atlanta and will miss his fourth straight game Sunday when the Redskins host New Orleans.

Coach Jim Zorn said Friday that Por-

tis â&#x20AC;&#x153;still has a little dizzinessâ&#x20AC;? when performing certain tasks.

Zorn said cornerback DeAngelo Hall remains doubtful for Sunday with a sprained right knee and will likely miss his second straight game.

Zorn is optimistic that defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth will return after missing two games with a sprained left ankle. Haynesworth is listed as questionable on the injury report.

NBA hands out rare penalty to coach at official Sean Wright over the lack of a foul call, then came farther onto the court directly at Wright to continue his protest and was thrown out with 29.7 seconds left in the period.

court to continue his argument before leaving.

The last NBA coach to be suspended for an interaction with a referee was Utahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jerry Sloan, who was banned seven games in January 2003 for making contact with an official.

Perhaps it was only fitting that Yang is leading the tournament hosted by Tiger Woods.

The South Korean made a name for himself as the first player to win a major when Woods was leading going into the final round.

Cabrera had the low round for the day with a 67. Defending champion Henrik Stenson (68) and Robert Allenby (70) are tied with the Argentine in second place.

Rory McIlroy, who complained of stomach pain, shot a 76 and is last in the 12-man field at 149.

Opel workers say they’ll help cut costs

FRANKFURT (AP) — Opel workers are ready to help cut costs as GM moves to restructure its troubled European operations, Opel’s chief employee representative said Friday.

European workers are prepared to make concessions that could save General Motors Co. euro265 million ($398 million) annually, employee council head Klaus Franz said after meeting GM’s top official in Europe, Nick Reilly at Adam Opel GmbH’s headquarters in Ruesselsheim.

Franz did not elaborate.

Jobless drop sparks optimism WASHINGTON (AP) — A surprising drop in the unemployment rate and far fewer job losses last month cheered investors Friday and raised hopes for a sustained economic recovery.

The rate unexpectedly fell to 10 percent, from 10.2 percent in October, as employers cut the fewest number of jobs since the recession began. The government also said 159,000 fewer jobs were lost in September and October than first reported.

If part-time workers who want full time jobs and laid-off workers who

have given up looking for jobs are included, the socalled underemployment rate also fell, to 17.2 percent from 17.5 percent in October.

The better-than-expected figures provided a rare dose of good news for a labor market that’s lost 7.2 million jobs in two years.

Still, the respite may be temporary.

Job creation is expected to remain far too weak in coming months to absorb the 15.4 million unemployed people who are seeking work — and the 11.5 million others who are underemployed. As

more people begin seeking work, the jobless rate is likely to resume rising.

The report offered evidence of how hard it remains to find a job: The number of people unemployed for at least six months rose last month to 5.9 million. And the average length of unemployment has risen to more than 28 weeks, the longest on records dating from 1948.

Even counting last month’s decline, the unemployment rate has more than doubled since the recession began in December 2007, when it

stood at 4.9 percent. And the underemployment rate has jumped to 17.2 percent from 8.7 percent.

“We will need very substantial job growth to get unemployment lower, especially when the labor force ... starts growing again,” said Lawrence Mishel, president of the Economic Policy Institute, a liberal think tank.

Still, economists and investors drew hope from the Labor Department report. It said the economy shed 11,000 jobs last month — a sharp improvement from October’s revised

Dollar soars after jobless rate drops

NEW YORK (AP) — The dollar leaped higher Friday after the government said the U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 10 percent in November, leading traders to weigh chances that the the Federal Reserve might begin raising interest rates sooner than they had expected.

total of 111,000. And it was much better than the 130,000 Wall Street economists had expected.

The average work week also rose to 33.2 hours, from a record low of 33 hours, along with average earnings. Economists expect employers will increase hours for their current workers before hiring new ones.

“We’ve still got a long way to go, but the good news in this report provides important positive momentum,” said Carl Riccadonna, senior U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank.

This season’s must have? Free shipping NEW YORK (AP) — There was a time when free shipping was a rare deal. This holiday season, you might feel it’s your right as a paying customer.

With so many discounts up for grabs online, a hefty shipping charge at checkout can be an unwelcome surprise. You might even be annoyed enough to cancel the order and look for a better deal elsewhere. Your chances of succeeding wouldn’t be half bad.

If you can’t bear the thought of paying for delivery, here’s how to get around it.

GET THE DEAL FreeShipping.org lists about 1,900 stores (and counting) that offer delivery deals. Minimum purchase requirements, coupon codes and expiration dates are noted when applicable.

If you’re scrolling

through the site and spot an offer that ends soon, don’t feel rushed into buying. Free shipping is becoming an increasingly popular way to drive sales. So even after one promotion ends, another could be around the corner, said Luke Knowles, founder of FreeShipping.org.

Dec. 17 is also the site’s second annual Free Shipping Day. Participating retailers guarantee that purchases made on the day will be delivered

by Dec. 24. The idea is to keep people shopping online in mid-December, when some worry it’s too late place orders for Christmas.

A recent check of FreeShippingDay.com showed 449 retailers signed up so far, including Anne Klein, Kmart, Macy’s and Sephora.

Another site, Istobe. com, lists around 500 retailers, whether they offer free shipping, and

how much you need to spend to qualify. You can find the list at istobe.com/free-shipping. html.

The most direct way to learn about free shipping deals is to sign up for e-mail alerts on the retailer’s Web site. This is a good route if you’re a fan of a certain store, and want to stay on top of other promotions it runs.

KNOW THE CATCHES Before you leap at a free shipping offer, check the policy on returns. You may have to pay to mail back unwanted items.

If it’s an exchange, you might need to foot the bill for shipping on the new item too.

Some sites, such as online shoe and clothing retailer Zappos.com, offer free returns. All you have to do is print a return label, stick it on the box, and drop it in the mail. You get a year at

Zappos to return items, but most stores generally have shorter policies.

You can usually return items bought online at a local store too. Just be sure to bring along the receipt that was included with the order.

As the holidays draw closer, some retailers may offer free expedited shipping. But in general, free shipping usually applies to the standard delivery method. It varies by retailer, but that means it could take as many as 10 days to get your order.

There are also times when buying online — and paying a shipping charge — is smarter than buying from a nearby store. This could be the case if it’s a gift you plan to mail anyway. Go to www.usps.com for an estimate of what it would cost to mail the item yourself; it might turn out the store’s shipping fee is a bargain.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Orders to U.S. factories unexpectedly rose in October, the sixth gain in the past seven months. It was further evidence that the manufacturing sector is beginning to recover, which will help support the overall economy.

Orders rose 0.6 percent in October, the Commerce Department said Friday, much better than the flat reading that economists had expected. A jump in demand for commercial aircraft and petroleum products led the gain.

Orders for durable goods, items expected to last three years, rose 0.6 percent, unchanged from a preliminary estimate last week.

Feds get cash for Capital One warrants

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Treasury Department said Friday that it received $146.5 million for the warrants of Capital One Financial Corp. in the first auction of warrants the government received as part of the $700 billion financial system bailout.

The auction, conducted by Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. on Thursday, resulted in a price of $11.75 per warrant.

Warrants are financial instruments that allow the holder to buy stock in the future at a fixed price. Shares of Capital One closed Thursday at $36.92.

Kraft takes offer to Cadbury shareholders PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Kraft Foods Inc. took its $16.3 billion hostile takeover offer for Cadbury PLC straight to shareholders of the British candy company on Friday.

The deal is nearly unchanged from an earlier offer that was rejected by

Cadbury. But by putting it directly in shareholder hands, Kraft starts the clock on a series of regulatory deadlines to get the majority support it needs and may flush out rival bids.

Kraft announced in September that it proposed a

takeover of Cadbury and formally issued the bid in November. Cadbury immediately rejected the offer, saying it undervalued the company.

The offer includes 300 pence in cash and 0.2589 new Kraft shares for each Cadbury share.

The prospects of increased rates also led to a sharp rise in the dollar, which hurt prices for commodities including oil.

The Labor Department said the economy shed 11,000 jobs last month, the smallest monthly loss since December 2007, when the recession began.

That’s much better than the 130,000 losses Wall Street economists expected and an improvement from 111,000 jobs cuts in October.

The Dow ended with a gain of 22.75, or 0.2 percent, to 10,388.90 after reaching a 2009 high of 10,516.70 in early trading.

reaucracy,” Whitacre told employees, strolling back and forth across a stage at the company’s headquarters here. “We’re not going to make it if you won’t take a risk,” he told the audience of 800.

In a 45-minute presentation that was broadcast to employees on internal television networks and over the Internet, Whitacre also unveiled a mission statement to design, build and sell the world’s best vehicles.

Whitacre, who peppered

his address with self-deprecating humor, named Vice Chairman Bob Lutz, who has long advocated for a more risk-taking culture, as his adviser for product development.

Whitacre also said he is recombining sales and marketing, placing them under Susan Docherty.

She became head of sales when former CEO Fritz Henderson separated the roles of sales and marketing. Henderson left the company earlier this week.

Lutz, 77, who had been in charge of marketing, will help Whitacre learn about the business, he said.

In another key move, the chairman, who joined GM in June, promoted engineering chief Mark Reuss to run North American operations.

Reuss recently was named head of engineering, and before that ran the company’s Holden operations in Australia.

Canadian jobless rate slips, economy adds jobs ed a 15,000 gain in jobs overall in November.

Craig Wright, chief economist at Royal Bank, called the job numbers in Canada and the U.S. “jaw dropping.”

The U.S. unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 10 percent in November as employers cut 11,000 jobs last month.

“It’s an amazing upside surprise,” Wright said. “The fact that it’s dipping lower is great

news.” Avery Shenfeld, chief economist at CIBC World Markets, said the numbers were better than expected and noted Canada has gained an average of 25,000 jobs over the last four months.

“It’s certainly a healthy pace but not a rocket back to full employment,” Shenfeld said.

The Canadian dollar jumped 0.42 U.S. cents to 95.23 cents following the report.

Canada has avoided bank bailouts and has not experienced the failure of any major financial institution.

There has been no crippling mortgage meltdown or banking crisis in Canada where the financial sector is dominated by five large banks.

But the global financial crisis hurt Canada as more than 70 percent of Canada’s exports go to the U.S.

Oil drops on dollar’s rise NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices fell Friday as an unexpectedly large drop in the U.S. unemployment rate boosted the dollar.

Crude, which is bought and sold in dollars has been pulled higher all year with the U.S. currency so weak. A weak dollar allows investors holding stronger currencies to get more crude for less money.

Benchmark crude for January delivery fell 59 cents to $75.87. In London, Brent crude for January delivery gave up 25 cents to $78.11 on the ICE Futures exchange.

Dollar surge reins in European stock advance

LONDON (AP) — Europeanan stock market pared much of its gains Friday as investors reassessed an upbeat U.S. jobs report and a surging dollar hit commodity stocks hard, particularly in London.

In Europe, Germany’s DAX closed up 47.30 points, or 0.9 percent, to 5,817.65 while the CAC-40 in France was up 47.51 points, or 1.3 percent, at 3,846.62.

Agriculture futures trade mixed CHICAGO (AP) — Agriculture futures were mixed early Friday on the Chicago Board of Trade.

Julia Lang sticks her tongue out to taste the falling snow in Houston on Friday. National Weather Service meteorologist Charles Roeseler says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the earliest snow in Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. Snow is rare for the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth largest city. In the past 15 years, it has snowed four times, including Friday.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black iceâ&#x20AC;? that makes driving treacherous could form on roads, bridges and sidewalks in the mountains on Saturday, the Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg warned.

Brad Panovich, chief meteorologist at Observer news partner WCNCTV, said snow will pick up across the foothills and mountains on Saturday morning but remain mostly rain across the Piedmont, including the Charlotte metro area.

The Charlotte area could see its first snow of the season today, though the amount is expected to be less than a 10th of an inch.

The area can expect mainly rain before 4 p.m., then a mix of rain and snow until 8 p.m. and a slight chance of snow until 10 p.m., according to National Weather Service forecasts. The snow-rain mix will likely amount to less than a 10th of an inch of total precipitation, while temperatures are expected to dip to about 29 degrees.

N.C. mountains, meanwhile, could get whacked with up to 4 inches of the white stuff on Saturday and temperatures well below freezing both Saturday and Sunday nights.

The National Weather Service issued a winter storm watch for the mountains.

2010 Buick LaCrosse: Looks like a Lexus

BY ANN M. JOB THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NUTS & BOLTS

–

An attractive, premium-looking sedan pulled up, and for a moment I thought I had been given the wrong car – a Lexus.

But no, it was the 2010 Buick LaCrosse, with Lexus-like styling, that caused the confusion.

The LaCrosse, Buick’s newly revamped, mid-size sedan, is surprisingly different from stereotypical Buicks. Styling is modern, and the interior in the top-of-the-line CXS has upscale appeal. Even the instrument gauges are jazzy, with light blue background and eyecatching font.

There are two good engine choices – both V-6s with direct injection like that found in some German powerplants. A more fuel-thrifty, 182-horsepower, four-cylinder is coming later in the model year.

The ride is smooth and quiet, even blocking out most road chatter from the tires.

Also not to be missed: The LaCrosse carries an across-the-board 5 out of 5 stars from the federal government for frontal and side crash protection. The LaCrosse also is a top safety pick of the Insurance Institute for

AP

The 2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS for a base, front-wheel drive with 255-horsepower V-6 is $27,835.

Highway Safety, which conducts tests for frontal, side and rear crashes.

Pricing is competitive for the upperscale mid-size sedan segment.

Manufacturers suggested retail price, including destination charge, for a base, front-wheel drive, 2010 LaCrosse with 255horsepower V-6 is $27,835.

This compares with $28,695 for a base, 2010 Toyota Avalon with 268horsepower V-6; $35,675

for a base, 2010 Lexus ES 350 with 272-horsepower V-6; and $34,965 for a base, 2010 Lincoln MKZ sedan with 263-horsepower V-6.

All models are frontwheel drive and come standard with automatic transmissions and seats for five. But note that unlike the major competitors, the LaCrosse is offered in all-wheel drive, too. This model starts at $32,570, which is still below the starting prices of

the ES 350 and MKZ with two-wheel drive.

The 2010 LaCrosse is based on a new, improved platform. Atop the new platform is a new body with correct proportions, short-clipped overhangs, a prominent grille thats not overdone and a graceful rear end.

The quietness of the interior was pleasing. Not only were passengers well insulated from outside noises, they could

barely notice the engine was on during idle. But this wasn’t an old-style quiet car, where so much attention is spent on keeping driver and passengers isolated from the ride.

Rather, the steering in the CXS test car gave the driver good hands-on feel, even if it wasn’t exactly sporty. The suspension – front MacPherson struts and rear four-link independent configuration – managed road bumps

2010 Buick LaCrosse CXS BASE PRICE: $27,085 for base CX; $29,645 for frontwheel drive CXL; $31,820 for all-wheel drive CXL; $33,015 for CXS AS TESTED: $35,955 TYPE: Front-engine, front-wheel drive, fivepassenger, mid-size sedan ENGINE: 3.6-liter V-6 with VVT and direct injection MILEAGE: 17 mpg (city), 27 mpg (highway) TOP SPEED: NA LENGTH: 197 inches WHEELBASE: 111.7 inches CURB WEIGHT: 4,065 pounds BUILT AT: Kansas City, Kan. OPTIONS: Premium audio system with navigation and backup camera $1,995; Carbon Black metallic paint $195

without fuss and yet gave the sense of the car being well-connected to the road.

The LaCrosse CXS test car was, simply, the besthandling Buick I have ever had the pleasure to drive.

The engine in the CXS is the upscale 3.6-liter, double overhead cam V-6 with variable valve timing and direct injection.
