HIGH POINT – The University Area Plan gained unanimous approval by the High Point City Council at its meeting on Monday after several modifications were made in recent weeks. Council adopted changes recommended by the planning and zoning commission, including the rewording of two sections of the plan created to guide the future growth of High Point University. The plan originally stated the university should expand in the
future to entire subareas that are contiguous to campus property without splitting a subarea’s zoning. The document now states that if a partial subarea is requested by the university, “a site plan must be submitted along with the rezoning request that demonstrates how the impacts on adjacent properties will be mitigated.” The rezoning of entire subareas is “strongly encouraged,” according to the adopted plan, rather than required as stated in the first draft. If a subarea must be split because the university is unable to obtain ownership of all proper-

ties, the plan says new development “should” be contiguous to the existing campus, whereas the original plan stated new development “must” be contiguous. The modifications addressed the university’s greatest concerns with the plan, said Heidi Galanti, planning administrator with the planning and development department. Councilman Latimer Alexander said several of the university’s neighbors had asked him about the plan and the university’s future growth. “It puts elected officials in a difficult place when we are looking at
an area plan that the university has already gone outside of,” he said. Alexander suggested to Galanti that a site map of HPU’s plans for future expansion eventually should be created so neighbors could know what to expect. In other news, a public hearing for the Market Overlay District was moved to Dec. 14 at 3 p.m. at City Hall. Mayor Becky Smothers said members of the public could offer further input at the meeting, and council members also would discuss the district. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Carr faces sentencing under old guidelines. 3B BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – A High Point man pleaded guilty Monday to charges of sexual misconduct involving a child in incidents dating to the 1970s. Guy Ellis Carr Jr., 66, of W. Parkway Avenue, will be sentenced later this week on eight counts of indecent liberties with a child stemming from a series of sexual assaults between 1973 and 1981 that were committed against a girl from the time she was 4 or 5 years old until she was about 12. Each count carries a maximum possible prison sentence of 10
years. Superior Court Judge Brad Long of Randolph County postponed sentencing until Friday. Carr, the owner of Carr Mill Supplies on Manley Street Carr and a deacon at Emerywood Baptist Church in High Point, was arrested in June 2008 after a Guilford County grand jury indicted him on 32 total counts of sex crimes, including first-degree rape of a child, first-degree sexual offense and crime against nature. Pursuant to his plea agreement, prosecutors dismissed all but the indecent liberties charges. Guilford County Assistant District Attorney Walt Jones said the victim, who now is 40, reported the abuse to police in April 2008 and gave detectives a copy of a deposition from Carr’s divorce case
in which he admitted molesting her. She subsequently contacted Carr, who agreed to meet with her to discuss the molestation. The High Point Enterprise gener-

At the meeting, she wore a concealed microphone that captured their conversation, which also was recorded on video by police. Jones played the 25-minute recording in court Monday. In it,
the victim recounted many details of the abuse to Carr. Carr didn’t deny his involvement in the recording. When asked by the victim, “How do you ask God for forgiveness from something like that?” he responded, “You say that it was wrong and that you’re sorry that you did it.” The victim also read a statement, describing the devastating toll the abuse has taken on her. She mentioned a past meeting with Carr where she wanted to forgive him. “His response was, ‘Most people just get over it.’ His response crushed me,” she said. “I want to live and be free of the shame and guilt I hid for 36 years. ... I hope Guy Carr is sentenced to enough time so that he never poses a threat to anyone else.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
HIGH POINT – Betty Stout is 81 years old and lives at Pennybyrn at Maryfield in Jamestown. She has had a dream for the last 50 years. On Dec. 3, her wish was fulfilled. “I’ve always wanted to ring bells for The Salvation Army,” Stout explained from her wheelchair outside of Lowe’s Foods in Jamestown. Janet Golden, activity director for health care at Pennybryn, decided to help when she heard about Betty’s dream. She called Capt. Tony Perez of the Salvation Army in October. “I was so excited when everything was finalized,
I cried so hard I dropped the phone,” Golden said. “I BELLS went from OF GIVING one side of the buildSalvation ing to the Army other, tellCampaign ing everytracker one. I was ■■■ so overjoyed.” Betty’s reaction when she heard the news? “She cried too, she just kept saying, ‘They’re going to let me ring the bell!’” Betty Stout has lived in the area for most of her life. She lived on Penny Road for over 40 years before she joined the Pennybyrn community 13 years ago. Stout’s two children, Page from Greenville and Mitch from Trinity, came to Lowe’s Foods to watch their mother in action. “This is all she has

More flu vaccination clinics open BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
FLU UPDATE
–
GUILFORD COUNTY – It may be easier now to find a swine flu vaccination. As suppliers ship more vaccines each week, health agencies have opened clinics to almost everyone. The Guilford County Department of Public Health, which held free vaccination clinics on Saturday, has opened H1N1 vaccination appointments to anyone 6 months of age and older. Health workers administered 497 vaccinations at a free High Point clinic Saturday and 1,107 at the agency’s Greensboro location for a total of 1,604. “We have not yet set another non-appointment clinic like we held this past weekend,” spokeswoman Lynne Beck said Monday. Meanwhile, Guilford County Schools officials reported last week that H1N1 cases have stabilized as vaccination clinics have become more widespread. Although case numbers rose slightly through November, the increases have stabilized. Commercial providers have offered more clinics as more vaccine doses have arrived.
Appointments: Call 641-5563 for a health department appointment in Greensboro or 845-7655 in High Point for H1N1 vaccinations for anyone over the age of 6 months. Cost: There is no out-of-pocket cost. People should bring insurance or Medicaid cards, if they have one. Others: Mollen Immunization is offering $15 H1N1 vaccination clinics at area Wal-Mart stores. Customers can find specific store information at flushotsusa.walmart.com. Visit www2.thecarolinascenter.org/fcf/FluClinicFinder.aspx for other pharmacy and grocery sites. Information: Contact the Department of Public Health at 641-7777 or visit www.guilfordhealth.org. For more information about the vaccination e-mail scam, see the CDC’s “Hoaxes and Rumors” Web page at www.cdc.gov/hoaxes_rumors.html.
Last week, Wal-Mart stores opened $15 shot clinics. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has estimated North Carolina needs 5 million doses based on its population. Health officials urge people in these high-priority groups to get flu shots: pregnant women; children 6 months to 24 years of age; health-care workers and emergency services personnel; adults ages 25-64 with underlying health conditions; and household contacts and caregivers of children 6 months of age and younger. People who are moderately or
severely ill should wait until they recover to get the vaccine, according to health experts. Meanwhile, health officials are fighting a phishing e-mail scam aimed at collecting personal information for a bogus state vaccination profile. The e-mail provides a link to a fake CDC Web site asking for personal information. The e-mail is believed to be an attempt to steal passwords or to download secretly unwanted, malicious codes to a target computer. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

LEXINGTON – Some vacation changes could be in store for Davidson County students next year if the proposed 2010-11 school-year calendar unveiled Monday night is approved. Dr. Tony Peele, Davidson County Schools assistant superintendent of human resources, said a calendar committee has been meeting since September, with the panel already establishing a draft of the calendar. Peele said a draft and survey went home to parents during the first week of November. At Monday night’s meeting of the Davidson County Board of Education, school officials presented results from the parent survey, which indicated 99 percent of the 2,190 surveys that were returned to school system had 99 percent of parents who supported the drafted calendar. A total of 25 parents, however, commented on the survey that they thought the proposed spring break was too long, said Randy Holmes, principal of Brown Middle School and chairman of the calendar committee. Based on suggestions from the calendar committee, the proposed calendar has students having a week off before Easter Monday and coming back to school a day after Easter Monday. According to the draft, students in 2011 will have Monday, April 18, with their last day of spring break being

BOTTOM LINE
ROGERSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – A Tennessee man’s homeowners insurance apparently doesn’t cover “acts of cow.” Jerry Lynn Davis called the Hawkins County Sheriff’s office on Thursday, complaining that a neighbor’s cows had been licking his house. In
Monday, April 25, which is Easter Monday. “The big change in this calendar is that we are moving Easter from the week of Easter Monday to the week of Easter Friday,” said Dr. Fred Mock, superintendent of Davidson County Schools. “Parents sometimes have to make vacation plans to Disney or other places a year ahead ... If (parents) don’t like (the proposed calendar), they need to come and tell us in January.” Holmes said one of the main reasons for having spring break a week before Easter is because it allows students to have three weeks to prepare for end-ofgrade exams. Under the proposed calendar, April 18 and April 19, 2011, could be used as make-up days. “It’s going to be a long haul from February to April, so we are a little concerned with that,” Holmes said of the proposed change to spring break. “The chances of not having any bad weather are not very good. That’s my greatest fear with the calendar. Once you put a week out there, the week is really what people plan for.” Mock emphasized that parents have plenty of opportunities to address the board of education, which is expected to vote on the calendar at its February meeting. He said parents are welcome to address the board during its January and February meetings or on the school system’s Web site.

(AP) – Police on Monday found the body of a man wanted in two double homicides in Wisconsin in the car of one of his victims, a coroner said. Tyrone Adair, 38, died of a gunshot wound, Dane County Coroner Raymond Wosepka said at a news conference in Madison. He would not say whether Adair had shot himself. Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain said police were not looking for Adair’s killer.
Southern California. Virtually the entire region was suffering – from subzero wind chills in Washington state to heavy snow that closed schools and government offices in Reno, Nev., and left big rigs jackknifed across
highways in several states. Blizzard warnings were in effect for northern Arizona and parts of Colorado, with forecasters predicting up to 2 feet of snow around Flagstaff. The National Weather Service said the upper
elevations of the Sierra mountains could get up to 3 feet of snow, with up to 4 feet forecast for the mountains of southern Utah. Even the hills east of San Francisco Bay received a rare dusting overnight.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The divisive issue of abortion emerged Monday as an obstacle to Senate passage of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul as a moderate Democrat proposed tough restrictions that liberals said they could not possibly accept. The amendment by Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., would bar any private insurance company from offering plans to cover abortion if they receive federal subsidies. In practice, the restriction would apply to most plans within a proposed new insurance marketplace, or exchange, since most people shopping in the exchange would be using federal subsidies to purchase coverage.
The amendment also would block a proposed new government insurance plan from covering abortions except in cases of rape, incest or danger to the mother’s life. Joining Nelson in sponsoring the amendment was another anti-abortion Democrat, Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, along with eight Republicans. The measure is unlikely to get the necessary 60 votes to pass, but Nelson has threatened to oppose the underlying health care legislation if it doesn’t. “As written, the Senate health care bill allows taxpayer dollars, directly and indirectly, to pay for insurance plans that cover abortion,� Nelson said in a statement.
ACORN probe reveals no illegality WASHINGTON (AP) – An internal investigation of the community-organizing group ACORN concluded there was no criminal conduct by employees caught on videos offering advice on how to hide assets and falsify
lending documents. The report, which ACORN’s CEO described as “part vindication, part constructive criticism and complete roadmap for the future,� was unlikely to stem continuing political criticisms of the group.

Obama wastes money flying all over nation/world Well, here we go again. Why is it our president finds it necessary to fly Air Force One and Air Force Two to West Point with both planes loaded with all the president’s men and women of responsibility to give a 40-minute speech? Our former president and all before him made their normal speeches from the Oval Office without spending several million dollars flying all over the country and/or world. Can you imagine the expense of having extra security, the president’s limo, the per diem for meals to feed all these aristocrats who surround our big boss for no reason other than to satisfy his enormous ego. This man has no earthly idea the value of a dollar nor has he ever been responsible for running any kind of business or actually earning a living. If you watched his speech, it was obvious some of the cadets were about to go to sleep. Later, Fox News told us they were herded into the auditorium four hours prior to the beginning of his speech and there they sat worming and squirming until his majesty started his 40-minute special. Although I was not overly fond of President Bush, I am beginning to miss him. BILL MANGUM High Point

Help climate with practical solutions
E
xpect to hear during the coming two weeks more comments about how evil the United States and a few other producer nations are for using more energy and producing more “greenhouse gases” than lesser-developed nations of the world who consume more than they produce. And expect to hear more about how the United States and other producer nations should transfer more of the wealth gained through their ingenuity and productivity to poorer, lesser-developed nations of the world to help them deal with climate change. Criticizing the United States and coming up with schemes to penalize it and other developed or developing nations is always high on the agenda at meetings such as the U.N. summit on climate change, which began this week in Copenhagen. And that’s always pretty frustrating. Yes, the United States should take additional, rational actions to produce cleaner energy and to lower emissions thought to be harmful to the environment, but it just doesn’t seem like a practical reaction to environmental problems for the solution to be that the United States gives more cash to underdeveloped nations. One of those additional, rational actions the nation should take is occurring right now in Davidson County. Last week, the Enterprise featured an update of the solar farm project located just south of Lexington. What will become one of the largest solar farms in the nation is nearing completion of its first phase, and it is expected to begin producing electricity during the next couple of months. Eventually, the farm will produce 16 megawatts of electricity, which is enough to power 2,600 homes. We expect that the world would be much better off, energy-wise and climate-wise, if more money and effort were spent on projects such as the Davidson solar farm and nuclear power development instead wasting them on sending thousands of people jetting to Copenhagen to attend a conference in order to make more plans on how to bash the United States.

cap & trade will create jobs even though it has done exactly the opposite in Europe, the disastrous stimulus created or saved 642,215.000987 jobs, many in nonexistent congressional districts, and the recent jobs summit was about creating jobs despite the Chamber of Commerce and NFIB not being invited, but two leftist, anti-Capitalist think tanks and job-killing unions were invited – once again infect the world. We can now add the exposé of the man-made global warming hoax. Many have preached for years that this unproven theory is built on lies. We now have thousands of e-mails retrieved from the Hadley CRU in the United Kingdom, exchanged among the corrupt zealots around the world that prove the skeptics correct. We’ve been told the data that proves their theory has been
inadvertently “lost.” No data, no science! We don’t dispute climate change. Climate has continually changed since our wonderful planet was born, and long before humans arrived. One theory for the extinction of the dinosaurs was changing climate. Two ice ages killed off some 90+ percent of all living plants and animals! The Sahara Desert, the most desolate place on Earth, was once a lush, green savannah! Oh, global warming was not the cause of the drastic change! The arrogant liberals believe that we insignificant humans, can affect, or destroy nature. Today, many years after the massive, destructive eruption of Mount St. Helens, there remains no evidence of that catastrophe. Did humans fix it? No, nature healed itself. Radical environmentalism is today’s communism. It’s about government controlling our behavior, and destroying capitalism. We have been lied to for more than 100 years about the coming, eminent destruction of our planet due to climate change. Maybe next year! TONY MOSCHETTI High Point

We must stop digging the debt hole deeper I know that Gov. Beverly Perdue and incoming Senate Majority Leader Martin Nesbitt are intelligent individuals. I don’t know why they continue to advocate foolish ideas. The problem is, again, budgetary. Recent headlines point to another rough fiscal year for North Carolina government. From July to October, state revenues fell 1.5 percent short of the already dreary forecast lawmakers had assumed when crafting their 2009-10 budget. When you add to that the fact that our unemployment rate is likely to remain sky-high and our Medicaid program is spending money faster than expected, it’s not hard to predict trouble head for 2010. In 2009, Perdue and the Democratic legislative majority decided to finance most of the state’s operating deficit through borrowing and tax increases. Because 2010 is an election year, there probably won’t be another big tax hike. But more borrowing? That’s the ticket, some say. The immediate problem is Medicaid. North Carolina went into the Great Recession with a relatively expensive Medicaid program, built up over the years by irresponsible politicians and incompetent administrators. Thanks to the economy, both enrollment and costs then soared. By November, Medicaid had spent $160 million more than projected, reflecting a 9 percent increase in expenditure. State officials hope to flatten out the cost spike by the first of the year. But that will still leave a hole. Gov. Perdue says she’d like to fill it by asking Washington for another Medicaid bailout. “We have consistently asked them to continue to help hold the states harmless for Medicaid and to help us as we get through this time, when our budget is stressed and the budgets of all the states around in the
An independent newspaper
country are stressed,” Perdue told the Associated Press. Of course, “all the states” constitute, uh, the United States. And since the federal budget is already massively OPINION out of balance, another bailout would mean John another round of federal Hood debt, much of it pur■■■ chased with new money created out of thin air by the Federal Reserve. In other words, the governor thinks it would be a good idea to finance Medicaid overspending by further debasing the dollar. This isn’t just Perdue’s preference, or the prevailing philosophy of banana republics. Sen. Martin Nesbitt, the new majority leader, gave a recent speech in which he credited the 2009 federal bailout as the only way to protect jobs and personal income in North Carolina. The alternative to the bailout, he said, would have been an economic meltdown. Let me see if I have this straight. America has entered a Great Recession because households and businesses, in response to perverse subsidy and tax incentives, took on excessive debt to invest in real estate and other speculative ventures lacking any connection to underlying economic reality. So, in response to this costly borrowing binge, our public officials truly think the right policy is to borrow still more to finance the daily operations of bloated bureaucracies and expansive entitlements? This isn’t a rational theory of political economy. It’s a trip to Cloud Cuckoo Land. JOHN HOOD is president of the John Locke Foundation and publisher of CarolinaJournal. com.

Obama sending envoy to North Korea
U.S. boosts historic climate debate COPENHAGEN – The United States delivered a welcome boost Monday to a pivotal climate conference by saying greenhouse gases blamed for global warming should be regulated as a health hazard. The Obama administration’s announcement came as delegates opened a meeting of 192 nations with emotional appeals to leaders in Washington and elsewhere to take stronger action.
Officials recommend postponing Iraqi vote BAGHDAD –Iraq’s electoral commission on Monday recommended a 45-day delay in parliamentary elections until Feb. 27, raising concerns that the postponed balloting could complicate the planned withdrawal of U.S. combat troops and bring a possible surge of violence. American commanders have noted the chance of increased pre-election bloodshed aimed at destabilizing the pro-Western government. Attacks struck around the country as officials tried to hammer out the election timetable, including an explosion outside a Baghdad elementary school that killed 10 people.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – Tens of thousands of students, many shouting “Death to the Dictator!� and burning pictures of Iran’s supreme leader, took to the streets on more than a dozen campuses Monday in the biggest anti-government protests in months. Riot police and pro-government Basij militiamen on fleets of motorcycles flooded Tehran’s main thoroughfares, beating men and women
The protests reflected how university students – the driving force of the 1979 Islamic Revolution – have revitalized the anti-government movement even as mainstream opposition politicians struggle to dent the power of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Iran’s clerical leadership. Inside the walled campus of Tehran University, fistfights broke out between protesters and hard-line students loyal to the government.
with clubs as crowds of demonstrators hurled bricks and stones. Some protesters set tires and garbage cans ablaze. “Death to the oppressor, whether it’s the shah or the leader!� the students chanted, according to witnesses – making a daring comparison between Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the pro-U.S. shah, despised in Iran since his overthrow in the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Toronto to host G20 summit in June TORONTO – Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Monday a G-20 summit planned for an Ontario resort town in June will be moved to Toronto instead. Harper made the announcement while on an official visit to South Korea, which will host a November G-20 summit in Seoul. The Canadian G-20 venue was changed from the Huntsville area to Toronto, Canada’s largest city, after concerns surfaced that the smaller town could not provide resources for the huge event.

SEOUL, South Korea – After a year of tensions, President Barack Obama is sending a veteran diplomat to North Korea on Tuesday for the highest-profile talks between Pyongyang and Washington since he took office pledging to reach out to America’s adversaries.

to the “Buy Show Tour” in town
this week only You found that valuable, rare item where? Sometimes people find the most valuable things in the most bizarre places. For example, Jean Kuntz of Cheyenne, WY, found a perfectly preserved handwritten letter signed by Buffalo Bill (Cody). Where? In a trash bin. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. On the advice of her mother, Jean kept the letter waiting for the right time to sell it. Two weeks ago, the Buy Show came to her town, and Jean received $400 cash for the letter.
Thousands of “cash” dollars will be paid out for rare and old items this week as hundreds are expected to attend show
“World Famous” Traveling Buy Show Starts Today Hundreds will “cash in” at the Buy Show event this week. Do you have antiques, gold, silver, coins or old collectibles worth money?—Buy Show staff says “Yes, you do!” By Allen Fowler The Great Treasure Hunt STAFF WRITER So how much money will you make at The Great Treasure Hunt Antique and Collectible Buy Show this week? “It depends on three things”, says Nick Gervasi, of the Buy Show staff; “The amount of quality items you bring, the condition they’re in, and the current marketplace value of an item.”
Lois Cameron, when she heard the Great Treasure Hunt Antique and Collectible Buy Show was coming to town, went to her basement and dug through boxes left by her deceased husband. Most of the boxes hadn’t been touched since his passing. Among other things, she found a wellmaintained toy truck that was 100 years old. It’s present value? An eye-popping $800!
The Buy Show team typically spends between $40,000 and $60,000 at an all week event like this. More if needed. And they’re here on a mission to pay you the most money for items they want. Within the last few weeks, the Buy Show staff paid $2,000 cash for a Spiderman #1 comic book. They paid $1,200 for an autograph of Marilyn Monroe. And they paid out $5,900 for a small estate that contained, among other things, valuable baseball cards, famous autographs and other collectibles that were gathering dust.
Want to earn some fast cash this week? It pays to look in places you’ve avoided, overlooked or forgotten about. Most people assume that “big estates” are where the money is. “That’s not always true”, says Buy
Small Estates often produce “big” money

Show manager Mike Westcott. “Many times the smaller estates produce a lot of money for people.” Jason Thompson of Green Bay, WI, is a case in point. Several weeks ago Jason brought in some old letters his father received by writing to world famous celebrities in the 1940’s. His little treasure of handwritten letters from Frank Sinatra, Mel Ott, Bobby Jones and World Heavyweight Boxing Champion, Jack Johnson netted him $4,000 cash on the spot.

If you have something old but don’t know its value, bring it in. Don’t assume it’s junk. A woman named Lisa in Florida almost threw out a stack of old comic books before bringing them to the show. Good thing she did. One edition was a 1940 issue of Superman...she took home $450.
How The Process Works 1. When you enter the event room, please sign in at the greeter’s table and take a seat until you are called by a Buy Show team member.
2. When you meet with a team member, place your items on the table. If you have coins, separate them into denominations—this speeds the process.
3. The Treasure Hunters will divide your items into 2 categories: 1)
items they would like to purchase, and 2) items they are not interested in purchasing at this time. Don’t be offended if some items aren’t chosen. Even valuable items may not be right for their network of collectors.
4. For items they are interested in, they will make you an offer based on
current market value. If you have a price in mind for your items, please tell them; this sometimes makes it easier to make a deal rather than lose one. 5. If you choose to accept their offer, they will give you a prompt cash payment. You will need to provide them with a valid drivers license or other form of ID.
Highest prices paid for these items • Old coins • Gold
• Silver • Comic books • Baseball cards
• Musical Instruments • Jewelry • Watches
Old watches have value. But value depends on age, model and condition. Coins that pre-date 1965 often valuable. Some of the biggest money is paid for rare coins. Old musical instruments are treasures. Rare field drums, vintage guitars, horns are valua ble—some very valuable!

Cunningham changes course Former state lawmaker will challenge Burr for Senate seat BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
DAVIDSON COUNTY – Former state legislator Cal Cunningham, who grew up and lives in Lexington, announced Monday he will seek the Democratic Party nomination to take on Republican U.S. Sen. Richard Burr next year. Cunningham reversed course in making his announcement. Last month he indicated he wouldn’t run, citing family commitments, but on Monday, Cunningham, an attorney practicing with a firm in Winston-Salem and a decorated Iraq war vet-
eran, said he would seek the Democratic Senate nomination in the May 4 primary. In a video Cunningham announcing his bid on his campaign Web site, Cunningham, 36, indicates he received hundreds of phone calls and emails during the past several weeks encouraging him to run. “When I got out, there was a tremendous response asking me to reconsider. It was very humbling,” Cunningham said. Other Democrats who

–
If the Democratic candidate is successful next year in defeating Republican, first-term U.S. Sen. Richard Burr of Winston-Salem, it would mark the first time both senators from North Carolina have been Democrats since 1973. Several Democratic candidates are expected to run for the party Senate nomination in the May 4 primary, with the winner facing Burr in the Nov. 2 general election. First-year Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan of Greensboro captured the other North Carolina Senate seat in 2008 when she upset Republican Elizabeth Dole. Hagan will serve through 2014. may enter the Senate primary include North Carolina Secretary of State Elaine Marshall and Durham attorney Kenneth Lewis. The Democratic nominee would face Burr, the first-term senator from Winston-Salem, in the Nov. 2 general election. Cunningham, who
joined the U.S. Army Reserves after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, received the Bronze Star and Gen. Douglas MacArthur award for his service in Iraq. “I’ve got what it takes to stand up for North Carolina. First as a state senator and then as an Army pros-
ecutor and captain in Iraq, I’ve fought the waste and the criminal conduct that endangered North Carolina families and American soldiers,” said the married father of two children. Cunningham was 27 years old when he was elected to his state Senate seat after winning in the 2000 general election. He was the youngest member of the N.C. General Assembly at the time and one of the youngest in state history, but he served only one term as his Democraticleaning, three-county district was redrawn based on the last census to a Republican-leaning one. Cunningham declined to seek re-election in 2002 under the current composition of the district. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Cars fill the parking lot outside the Sears customer service center on its first day as a tenant at Oak Hollow Mall. Chattanooga, Tenn.-based CBL & Associates Properties Inc. The mall, which has struggled through losing retailers during the past several years, has succeeded recently in landing nontraditional tenants, such as a nondenominational church and Christian dance studio. The High Point Enterprise reported in September that Sears would relocate its customer service
center to the former location of Steve & Barry’s and, before that, Goody’s. The athletic apparel retailer Steve & Barry’s closed a year ago, and the space had been vacant until the relocation of the Sears customer service center. Representatives with Sears or CBL & Associates were unable to be reached on Monday. The impact of the customer service center and
its employees was evident early Monday afternoon. The parking lot near the entrance to the center was packed with cars of workers – the entrance for the new Sears operation is between the lower outdoor entrance of the J.C. Penney department store and the mall food court entrance. The Sears Product Services Marketing Center ranked as the city of High
Point’s 16th-largest employer with 490 workers, according to the 2008 annual report of the High Point Economic Development Corp. Sears already had a presence at Oak Hollow through its department store, one of the mall’s original retail anchor tenants when Oak Hollow opened 14 years ago. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528
CHEER FUND

Cheer Fund donations top $5,000 ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
The 2009 Christmas Cheer Fund has received $970 today. That brings the total in donations to $5,565. This year’s goal is $35,000. The fund, operated by the Kiwanis Club of High Point, provides Christmas gifts for nearly 1,500 children identified by the Guilford County Department of Social Services. The campaign was started in 1924 by The High Point Enterprise as a campaign to raise money for needy families. “Local organizations, such as the Rotary,
Kiwanis and Civitan clubs, are to aid in taking care of these families,” the Enterprise said in a front page article published Dec. 12, 1924. The initial campaign collected $848. The campaign has changed responsibility over the years. It was operated as an Empty Stocking Fund by the High Point Jaycees for about 30 years, after it was passed around between different private local residents and groups. When the last local nonprofit charitable organization owner, the late Benny Braica, retired in
the late 1990s, the High Point Kiwanis Club took over what’s now called the Christmas Cheer Fund. This year’s distribution of gifts will be from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. Dec. 19 at Mount Vernon Baptist Church, 716 Leonard Ave. Parents of eligible children will be mailed vouchers that they can redeem for gifts. Donations should be made out to Christmas Cheer Fund and mailed to P.O. Box 5467, High Point, NC 27261. Today’s donors are:

Judge has broad discretion in deciding sentence Age of crimes means Carr faces penalty under old guidelines

Businessman pleads guilty to sex abuse charges. 1A
BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – Guy Carr’s sentence could range from probation or no jail time to an active prison term. The case involves crimes that predate the state’s structured sentencing laws, which set specific guidelines and ranges for determining the punishment of crimes. Laws in place at the time of Carr’s crimes carried no such guidelines, meaning Judge Brad Long has considerable leeway in deciding what punishment to impose. “This is a sad case, a difficult case,� Long said, explaining that he needed time to come to a decision. Prosecutors asked for an active sentence, but Carr’s attorneys,
Greensboro law partners Wayland Cooke and Davis North, asked Long to spare their client prison time. Cooke said Carr, who has no criminal record, was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2006 that will require “very active treatment� in the coming months. He also presented evidence from a forensic psychologist who evaluated Carr and concluded there was less than a 3 percent chance of him reoffending. Carr Mill Supplies employees testified that they would lose their jobs if Carr went to prison. A machinist at the company – which was started by Carr’s parents more than 50 years ago and provides repair parts

for the hosiery and textile industries – said his prospects for finding work in his field were not good. Cooke said Carr and his victim had first discussed the abuse more than 20 years ago and had decided to keep it a private matter until she came forward last year. He also suggested that a recorded conversation between the victim and Carr that led to his indictment was not strong evidence in some respects. “He’s letting her talk. He doesn’t agree or disagree,� Cooke said. “Some of the things he’s accused of doing, he disagrees with. He didn’t want to put her through a trial.� Cooke said if structured sentencing laws applied, he would ask for extraordinary mitigation – a rarely used exception that lets a judge go outside the guidelines to impose a lighter sentence. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531
Exhibitors pleased with Showtime traffic BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – The 40th installment of Showtime began similar to the fall High Point Market with uplifted spirits from recent years, some exhibitors said. The twice-yearly fabric trade show opened on Sunday with new designs in fabric, trims and leather, largely in part for the home furnishings industry. The event, which ends Wednesday, is estimated to bring about 3,000 people to High Point during its course, according to figures from the High Point Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Showtime is held each June and December at Market Square. Suzanne Theodore, director of operations for the Los Angeles-based Morgan Fabrics, said the December show usually brought more business from buyers, but last year’s show was light in traffic. This year, however, is a different story. “Foot traffic is way up from the last two shows,� Theodore said. “Our market sample orders are higher this time, and we’ve received more commitments (from buyers).� Improved economic conditions from last year may be giving buyers more inspiration to pur-
chase products at this year’s event, said officials from Heico Fasteners Inc., a metal accessories company that caters to hand bag and other miscellaneous designers at the show. “At the last two shows, people were just looking. There were a lot of lookers and no buyers,� said Billy Engels, sales manager for the company. “This time around, buyers are ready to place orders.� Catherine Morsell, director of the International Textile Market Association, which organizes the event, said she expected several new companies to debut at the show. Some exhibitors said they saw
new buyers from niche markets at the event looking for smaller orders. “We’ve seen a lot of new, walk-in customers this year on top of our appointments,� said Ken Towery, owner of TnT Sales. “We’ve seen a lot of people who are dealing with fabric on a very small scale.� Retail sales haven’t fully recovered from last year’s downturn, but Towery said conditions at the event had improved from recent years. “Traffic isn’t as good as it was five years ago, but it’s better than recent years,� he added.

Research Study for Ragweed Allergies
Dear Abby: Our son lived with his girlfriend for several years. They had a beautiful daughter together but split up a year and a half later. His ex-girlfriend now lives with another man, and they have a new baby girl. They’ll probably get married. Our granddaughter is now 5 and we pick her up, take her places and do things with her. We also buy her the usual gifts for her birthday and holidays. We travel frequently and bring her souvenirs from our travels. Now that she has a baby sister, are we obligated to do the same for her? Or should we continue doing for our granddaughter only? What is the proper thing here? – Help Needed in Alabama

ouldn’t it be great if we could be as excited as children during the holidays? Unfortunately, as we go through life we have different experiences that change our realities during what has become a stressful, not joyful, season for some. Anticipation of joy can become anticipation of sorrow. We start to realize things don’t always happen the way they should. Our focus becomes less on Santa and gifts and more on our problems. It is easy for the feelings to become so overwhelming that depression can overtake the holiday spirit. There are many different situations and life experiences that can lead to negative filters about the holiday season. Many people have lost loved ones during this time or even during the year. The reality of their absence can bring to the surface unresolved grief. For many of us, getting together as a family can lead to conflicts or memories of past hurts. Others may find the expectations they feel from work, family, friends or other groups are overwhelming. It can be difficult to set

limits on spending or time during this season. With all the different things happening in our lives, it is easy to become depressed, even in such a joyful time. It is important to take time to take care of ourselves so that we don’t become unable to function. It is easy to get overwhelmed with life and neglect our mind and body. Our brain is an amazing organ, and if we take care of it, it will take care of us. One of the first things I tell people to do every day is diaphragmatic breathing. Our brain needs oxygen to process information. Exercise and nutrition are also necessary to keep the right brain chemistry working. It is important to eat foods that are antioxidants and get enough vitamins C, D and E. If even those things seem impossible, just take 10 minutes every day to quiet your mind and try to get perspective on what is really important.

There are many causes for nighttime bathroom trips
D
ear Dr. Donohue: I am a veteran. I have a lot of bladder problems. I have to get up six or eight times a night to go to the bathroom. During the day, I’m pretty much OK. I went to a Veterans Affairs medical facility, and they sent me to a practitioner who gave me a pill and told me I would be OK. I wasn’t. I went to another VA hospital, and the doctor put me on three pills – Detrol LA, Enablex and imipramine – and said there was nothing more he could do. These pills did not help me. Can you tell me what will? – C.E.
BLONDIE
B.C.
Detrol LA (“LA” stands for “long acting”) and Enablex are both used to calm bladder muscles that are contracting too often and too forcefully and that force a person to run to the bathroom or suffer an accident. Imipramine is an antidepressant, but it’s also used to calm an overactive bladder. Why nighttime is worse than daytime has to do with the fact that in older people, nighttime urine production exceeds daytime production. You are getting no results from three medicines designed to stop the contractions of an overactive bladder. I’d say we are on safe ground assuming you don’t have an overactive bladder. Even though you didn’t mention your age, I presume you are an older man. The chief reason for an older man having to run to the bathroom

many times during the night is an enlarged prostate gland. The big gland interferes HEALTH with complete bladDr. Paul der emptyDonohue ing. The ■■■ bladder quickly fills after one bathroom trip, and the man has to make another and another and another bathroom visit. If you haven’t seen a urologist, ask the VA for an appointment to see one. If you have a big gland, as I suspect, medicines exist to shrink it or to counter the effects of its large size. If medicines don’t work, a number of procedures do, some of which can be done right in the doctor’s office. If I’m wrong about this, write back. In the meantime, get to a urologist. Dear Dr. Donohue: I was just diagnosed with an inguinal hernia. My internist did not encourage me to have corrective surgery at this time. It is small, and I am asymptomatic. I visited a surgeon who performs such operations laparoscopically and uses polypropylene mesh. I am concerned about chronic pain after the surgery and that my body will react to the mesh, especially years from now. Are absorbable meshes as effective as the meshes in common use today? Can you provide guide-
lines for me to consider having the surgery now or later? – I.H. With a small hernia that’s not painful, you don’t have to rush to surgery. You are the one to make the decision. By putting it off, you might never need surgery. By having it now, you correct the problem once and for all. The choice is yours. The surgeon’s input will help you decide the most appropriate time. Today, almost all surgeons use a mesh, a patch that strengthens the tissues where the operation takes place. The mesh greatly decreases the chance of a hernia recurrence. Polypropylene (a plasticlike material) is the substance most often used as the mesh. Formerly, stainless steel, tantalum gauze, polyvinyl, nylon and Teflon had been used to reinforce a hernia repair, but they were discarded because they were inflexible, degradable, easily infected or because they tended to migrate. Polypropylene has proven to be the most reliable mesh material. It has a long and good track record. Your body won’t reject the mesh. It’s an inert substance. Polypropylene carries a lesser risk of infection. Your chances for pain after you have healed are not great. Absorbable material was popular at one time, but it is not much used now. It appears to be less reliable than polypropylene.

“The annual Winter Walk for AIDS, as pictured here in 2008, has become one of Triad Health Project’s most popular fundraisers.”

REENSBORO – The weather may have been on the cold side, but the turnout for Sunday’s annual Winter Walk for AIDS was heartwarming. Nearly 3,000 walkers – an event record, according to organizers – participated in the 18th annual walk, which is a fundraiser for Triad Health Project, an HIV/AIDS service organization in Guilford County. “Everything went fantastic,” said Shane Burton, director of development for Triad Health Project. “We’re still getting donations, but we feel we’re well on our way to reaching our goal for the event, which is $100,000. We’ve just had wonderful community support this year.” Walkers followed a three-mile route through the streets of downtown Greensboro Sun-
‘We’re hoping this will increase awareness of the need for young people, in particular, to be tested for HIV.’ Shane Burton Triad Health project director of development the walkers were students from local colleges and universities, according to Burton. “We had different fraternity and sorority groups and service groups from within the schools,” he said. “The level of support we received from the schools was amazing to see.” The Winter Walk for AIDS is
Grant entrance: ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
ASHEBORO – Over the next few months, Randolph Hospital’s North Fayetteville Street entrance will be transformed from a temporary parking lot into a landscaped lawn and natural space, thanks to a $42,000 grant from the Randolph Soil and Water Conservation District. This is the first grant the hospital has received from the county agency, which works hand in hand with the people of Randolph County by planning, technical assistance, develop-
ing and carrying out programs for the conservation, protection and development of soil, water and related plant and animal resources. “The hospital desperately needed the parking spaces during our recent construction, so we temporarily sacrificed our front lawn,” explains Samuel Cranford Jr., chairman of the board at Randolph Hospital. “Our intent was to convert it back to lawn, and we made a commitment to our community to do so following the completion of our construction. The recession caused our manage-
held the first Sunday of December to commemorate World AIDS Day, which is always observed on Dec. 1. “In the early days, this event was actually a candlelight vigil held at night, but we’ve grown the event each year to accommodate more people,” Burton said. “We continue to have the event not only to raise funds for Triad Health Project, but also to raise awareness. Our hope is that the more people there are walking in the streets, the more people will see them. We’re hoping this will increase awareness of the need for young people, in particular, to be tested for HIV.” All money raised through the Winter Walk goes directly to Triad Health Project, which the organization uses to support such missions as case management for more than 500 HIV-positive clients; free, con-
fidential testing for HIV; a food pantry; numerous educational programs and support groups; emergency financial assistance; transportation assistance for medical appointments; and the Higher Ground day center, a retreat and resource center for individuals infected or in any way affected by HIV/AIDS. Organizers say the success of the Winter Walk is a direct reflection of the community’s compassion for the HIV/AIDS population. “There are more than 1,700 people in Guilford County today that are HIV-positive,” said Addison Ore, executive director of Triad Health Project. “The Winter Walk for AIDS gives each and every one of those 1,700 people a voice that says our community cares for them.”

Funds help transform Randolph Hospital’s front from temporary parking lot to landscaped lawn ment team to delay the project. Our spending today is mostly for necessities. This grant makes it possible to follow through and restore the natural area, which is part of our tradition.” When completed, the area will feature newly planted grass, trees and a sidewalk. Trees Asheboro will assist with the project. “Many of the trees that populated the original lawn area had been damaged by weather and/or disease,” Cranford says. “This project gives us the opportunity to create a lush lawn area with healthy trees. While the trees

will take a few years to regrow to their original size, we are excited to work with Trees Asheboro and look forward to having a beautiful tree-filled lawn for all to enjoy.” Founded in October 2003, Trees Asheboro is the brainchild of tree enthusiasts Tim Womick and Owen George, volunteers for the organization. The nonprofit’s goal is to help plant trees in distressed areas. Randolph Hospital will begin construction of the front lawn this month, and the project should be completed in the spring.
Colon cancer deaths could drop dramatically in the next decade because of better screening and treatment, according to an optimistic new prediction by top researchers. The estimate was made in an annual report that shows that, overall, the U.S. cancer death rate is continuing to decline, as it has since the 1990s. The report released Monday focuses largely on cancers of the colon and rectum, which together are the third leading cancer killer in the United States. An estimated 50,000 people will die from it this year. The battle against colorectal cancer has been a growing success story: The death rate dropped roughly 20 percent in the last 10 years, according to American Cancer Society figures. The new report – by researchers at the advocacy group and other organizations –2 predicts that death rate will drop even more over the next decade. By 2020, the rate could be half what it was in 2000, they said. The prediction assumes colon cancer screening and improved chemotherapy treatment will become more and more common, and colon cancer contributors like smoking and red meat consumption will decline. The prediction is “optimistic but realistic,” said Elizabeth Ward, who oversees surveillance and health policy at the American Cancer Society. But some other experts said such a large drop could require far-reaching changes in how many people eat a healthier diet, have health insurance and can get good medical care.

I was in the club lounge as Cy the Cynic’s team was having a “blamestorming” session after a match. They had lost and were trying to determine why. One of Cy’s teammates had been West at one table and had led the ace of clubs against four hearts. East signaled high, won the second club and led a third club. That defense wasn’t good enough: West’s queen of trumps was sure to score on a “trump promotion,” but South pitched his spade loser. When West ruffed and led a spade, South ruffed, drew trumps and claimed.
DEFEATED East came in for some major blame: Cy was the declarer at the other table and, through no fault of his own, was defeated. After East won the second club, he cashed the ace of spades before leading a third club. Then West’s queen of trumps won the setting trick. When defenders try for a trump promotion (my topic this week), they need to cash side winners first. Otherwise, declarer may counter effectively, as in today’s deal,
by discarding a loser.

You could insist on 3NT, but he might hold A 6, 3, A Q 10 7 6 5, A 10 7 6. Bid three spades, suggesting a solid spade stopper but doubt about notrump. 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.

Snow place like home
T
he average high temperature for Gainesville, Fla., at the end of December checks in at a relatively balmy 68 degrees. As far as Tooey Loy is concerned, the warmer the better when his High Point University women’s basketball team competes in the Gator Invitational. “We’re going to call the year off if it snows in Gainesville,” Loy said with a laugh. The Panthers returned to normal life Monday with classes, exam preparations and practice at the Millis Center in anticipation of Wednesday night’s home game against Campbell and former T. Wingate Andrews star Tonisha Baker. Their weekend proved anything but normal, however, thanks to five inches of snow in Washington, D.C. HPU suffered defeats at George Mason on Friday and American University on Sunday. But it’s always about more than basketball when the Panthers go on these trips each year. A full tour of the nation’s capital was on the schedule for Saturday – until it snowed from 9 in the morning to 9 at night. “We decided not to put 25 people on a bus and scoot around D.C.,” Loy explained. “I was looking forward to them expeLoy riencing it. Any time we go on trips like that, my philosophy is we’re not going to just go in and play and drive back out. We’re going to make it an experience they’ll remember the rest of their lives.” To be sure, the Panthers will be talking about this one for quite some time. Not only did the snow wipe out their tour, but the hotel’s television service got knocked out from 10 a.m. to 11 that night. The Panthers ate breakfast in the hotel restaurant, ordered delivery for supper and spent big chunks of time writing papers and prepping for exams. “We got a lot of team bonding done, but we didn’t see anything but the inside of the hotel,” Loy said. That included the team’s walk-through. American’s offensive schemes and HPU’s plans to defend it took place in the middle of the hotel lobby. “Apparently that didn’t work too good,” Loy allowed, laughing again. “It might have been better in the gym.” At least High Point still can look forward to the
Gator Invitational on Dec. 20-21. This year’s trips come on the heels of HPU playing in the SPORTS University of Texas-San Steve Antonio Hanf tournament ■■■ last year and enjoying the famed Riverwalk area; visiting New York City while playing in the Saint Peter’s College (N.J.) tournament two seasons ago; and experiencing other destinations such as Las Vegas and the Air Force Academy in recent years. “One of the things I use in recruiting is I tell any kid, ‘When you come here, we’ll go to a different part of the country every year,’ ” Loy said. “We try to mix it up. We really believe in them having a great experience that wasn’t all basketballs, hotels and gyms.” For all the fun that can be had on trips, Loy is more than ready for this stretch of four straight home games. American (4-4) beat the Panthers 67-46, while George Mason (5-3) prevailed 76-57. The losses marked an end to six games out of seven on the road to open the season. The Panthers’ lone appearance in the Millis Center so far was a 75-63 win over UNC Greensboro on Nov. 21. “We looked like a team that was road-weary,” Loy said. “I learned scheduling six of your first seven on the road is not a real good thing. We might be the only team in the country dumb enough to do it.” The homestand begins with Campbell on Wednesday at 7 p.m. The Atlantic Sun Conference member stands 4-1 thanks in part to the play of Baker, who has started all five games at guard for the Camels as a true freshman. She averages 10.8 points per game and is shooting 60 percent from the field while also helping feed the ball to strong post players Lauren Yesh and Ashley Williamson. Loy said the game will present contrasting styles, with the Panthers needing to get out and run on the interior-oriented Camels. Most of all, he’s eager to see his Panthers (2-5) pick up some wins in advance of the Big South opener Jan. 2. “Hopefully this can get us turned around and build some confidence,” Loy said. “That’s what it’s all about at this level, winning the conference and getting that NCAA berth.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

High Point’s champion Former Southwest Guilford and Wesleyan Christian Academy standout Maria Lubrano (91) battles Notre Dame’s Erica Iantorno during the NCAA College Cup semifinal last week in College Station, Texas. Lubrano and her North Carolina teammates edged the Fighting Irish 1-0 before knocking off Stanford 1-0 in Sunday’s championship game, giving the program a 21st national title. Lubrano appeared in 10 games for UNC as a freshman in 2007 before sitting out last year with a foot injury. This fall, the midfielder appeared in 27 games and started 12 times, recording two goals and two assists for a Tar Heel team that finished 23-3-1.
Tragedy strikes at Duke BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU
DURHAM – Lacey Dawkins, the older sister of Duke freshman basketball player Andre Dawkins, died in an automobile accident Saturday in West Virginia on her way to see her brother play. The siblings’ biological mother, Tamara Hill, was injured in the accident. Hill’s condition was not made available. The two were on their way from Columbus, Ohio, where Lacey Dawkins lived, to see Dawkins and the Blue Devils play St. John’s on Saturday afternoon. Lacey Dawkins was 21 years old. According to WVNS-TV in West Virginia, the accident occurred on Interstate 77 in the town of Pax, about 15 miles north of Beckley and about 250 miles northwest of Durham. The accident involved three other vehicles. The TV station reported that rescue personnel had to use the Jaws of Life to get Dawkins and Hill out of the vehicle and that at least two passengers from the other vehicles were transported to hospitals. “We are deeply saddened by the loss of Andre’s sister, Lacey,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a statement released by the school. “Andre is a terrific young man, and his family is very important to him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Dawkins family during this trying time.” Dawkins has returned home to deal with the tragedy. Dawkins is from the Tidewater region of Virginia. He graduated a year ahead of schedule from Atlantic Shores Christian School in Chesapeake in order to enroll at Duke.

Happier times: Duke’s Andre Dawkins reacts after a bucket against Connecticut on Nov. 27 at Madison Square Garden in New York. This past weekend, Dawkins’ sister was killed in a car crash while traveling from Ohio to Durham to see her brother play for the Blue Devils. Dawkins was raised by his father, also named Andre, and stepmother Pamela Dawkins, whom Dawkins lists as his mother in Duke’s media guide. In addition to Dawkins’ older sister, he has three younger siblings: brothers Caleb and Jalon, and sister Naomi. Dawkins came off the bench and played 21 minutes against St. John’s, scoring two points. Through Duke’s first eight games, Dawkins is averaging 9.9 points per game and has hit 51.3 percent of his 3-pointers.
HIT AND RUN

R
idiculous. Incomprehensible. Crazy. Disgraceful. Outrageous. Dumb. What do all of these words describe? If you said most of my hit and runs, you’re probably right. But there’s something else. Each of these words fits the madness that is the Bowl Championship Series. Top-ranked Alabama and second-ranked Texas will meet for the BCS national title in Pasadena, Calif., on Jan. 7. Both teams carry 13-0 records. Both boast solid championship credentials. But three other teams also sport undefeat-
ed records. Texas Christian and Cincinnati are 12-0, while Boise State stands 13-0. Is this trio more deserving of a national title shot than the Crimson Tide and Longhorns? Probably not. But should they have a shot at the crown after going unbeaten? Absolutely. Alabama looked invincible in crushing Florida for the SEC title. But the week before, the Tide struggled mightily against an average Auburn team and needed a last-minute touchdown to escape with a victory. Texas came within one second of losing to Nebraska in the Big 12 title game. The slug-
gish Longhorns needed a field goal as time expired to secure their berth in the BCS’ big bash. You can make compelling national-championship cases for all five of these teams. Toss in a 12-1 Florida team plus 10-2 squads Oregon and Ohio State, and you’ve got a classic eight-team playoff to determine a true national champion. Too bad we’re at least 10-15 years away from such a scenario. I’m counting the years.
YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.
– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR
Coach Brian Kelly confirmed on Monday that he will meet with Notre Dame officials about their open job, leaving fourth-ranked Cincinnati with a lot of uncertainty heading into its first Sugar Bowl appearance. Kelly met with his players on Monday afternoon, and confirmed his interest in the Notre Dame job on his Twitter feed: “Just informed our team that Notre Dame has contacted me and I will listen to what they have to say.” The New York Times reported on Monday that Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh also is being interviewed for the job as Charlie Weis’ successor. Harbaugh declined to talk about it, telling the newspaper, “Not now or not in the future will I talk about any other jobs or opportunities.” Meanwhile, the Irish learned Monday that quarterback Jimmy Clausen and his favorite receiver, Golden Tate will bypass their senior seasons and enter the NFL draft. They shared the team’s MVP award. Clausen is widely expected to be taken in the first round. The only knocks on the 5-foot-11 Tate are a lack of size and experience at wideout, but his speed should make up for any shortcomings.

App edges Wofford
Moore faces tough foes
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPARTANBURG, S.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Donald Sims scored 25 points and Appalachian State earned a 77-76 victory over Wofford on Monday night. Sims shot 7-for-9 and nailed three 3-pointers for the Mountaineers (5-4, 1-1 Southern Conference). Isaac Butts contributed with a double-double, scoring 11 points and grabbing 13 rebounds. The Terriers (4-6, 0-2) stayed close, and a 3pointer from Cameron Rundles cut the lead to 77-74 with 11 seconds remaining. Corey Godzinski then made a jumper with 1 second left for the final margin. Kellen Brand had five points, five rebounds and three assists for ASU, going 1-for-4 from the field and making all three of his foul shots.
AUBURN 68, VIRGINIA 67 AUBURN, Ala. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brendan Knoxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tip-in with 1.4 seconds left lifted Auburn over Virginia. Sammy Zeglinski hit three free throws to give the Cavaliers the lead with 7.7 seconds left. Then DeWayne Reed drove the

The host Tigers edged the Cavs 68-67. length of the court and missed a layup, but Knox was there to give the Tigers (5-4) the win. Virginia (4-4) didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a shot off before the buzzer. Reed led Auburn with 18 points. Sylven Landesberg had 17 of his 20 points in the first half for Virginia, missing all seven attempts after the half. Zeglinski made five 3-pointers and scored 18 points.
NO. 12 MICHIGAN ST. 69, CITADEL 56 CHARLESTON, S.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kalin Lucas had 17 points and No. 12 Michigan State withstood Citadelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot 3-point shooting Monday night. The Spartans (7-2) didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count on the Bulldogsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; long-range threat. Citadel (6-5) made its first seven 3s and finished 12 of 20 for the game. Michigan State, however, held the Bulldogs to two baskets over
the last eight minutes. Cameron Wells had 16 points to lead Citadel, which fell to 0-34 all-time against ranked opponents.
C. OF C. 67, UNCG 64 GREENSBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Andrew Goudelock scored 28 points, helping College of Charleston stay undefeated in conference play with a win over North Carolina-Greensboro on Monday night. The Cougars (4-3, 3-0 Southern) led by as many as 10 points late, but the Spartans (2-5, 1-1) went on a 10-2 and pulled within 64-62 on Kyle Randallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s layup with 1:33 remaining. Casaan Breeden hit a 3 for Charlestonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final points after a UNCG timeout, though, and the Spartans missed on two 3-point attempts in the final 13 seconds. Ben Stywall paced UNC-Greensboro with 21 points and 14 boards.
DCCC shoots down St. Andrews LAURINBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A strong defensive effort and hot shooting from long range paced Davidson County Community College to a 111-85 win over the St. Andrews junior varsity on Monday night. Kimani Hunt and Roderick Jeter each went 4-for-6 from the 3-point line, while Robbie Rives knocked down four of his nine shots from long range as the Storm shot 15-for-31 as a team. The shots fell because the Storm made the extra pass: â&#x20AC;&#x153;They passed up a good shot to get it to a teammate for a great shot,â&#x20AC;? praised coach Matt Ridge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started getting stops, which led to our fastbreak,â&#x20AC;? Ridge continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got a lot of open looks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not just layups, but 3s in transition, and it started on
the defensive end with everybody playing together, cutting off penetration and blocking out and rebounding.â&#x20AC;? Hunt finished with a team-high 24 points to go along with nine rebounds, while former Trinity standout Zack Williams added 21 points. Justin Glover picked up 15 points, Rives and Jeter each had 14, and Phillip Williams tacked on 11. In addition, Storm point guards A.J. Finney and Derrick Mayo each finished with eight assists and only two turnovers. DCCC, now 8-3, travels to Pitt Community College on Wednesday before returning home Saturday at 3 p.m. against Southwest Virginia Community College.
CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; They played it safe, leaned on their running game and took advantage of an improbable number of mistakes by one of the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst teams. Still, Matt Moore was a winner in his first start in nearly two years and will likely remain Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarterback for another week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when the competition gets much tougher. A day after the Panthers beat woeful Tampa Bay 16-6, coach John Fox was typically evasive on Monday. He wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t declare Moore the starter next week at New England, said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know when Jake Delhomme would be able to practice again, and replied â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t answer ifsâ&#x20AC;? when asked if Delhomme starts again when his broken finger is healed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He obviously did some good things, and some things weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to continue to work on,â&#x20AC;? Fox said of Moore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought he played well enough for us to win.â&#x20AC;? The Panthers (5-7) clearly had a restrained passing game. Led by Jonathan Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 120 yards rushing and a touchdown, they ran the ball 33 times to just 20 passes. Carolina twice ran draw plays on third-and-10 and again on third-and-8. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were running the ball well, a lot of quick game stuff, getting the ball out fast,â&#x20AC;? Moore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That makes it easy on any quarterback.â&#x20AC;?
CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A person familiar with the plan says Danica Patrick has reached a deal to enter NASCAR with JR Motorsports. Patrick will announce a partial Nationwide Series schedule at a Tuesday news conference in Phoenix, the person fa-
Herzog was a fixture in major league dugouts for two decades. He won the 1982 World Series and three NL pennants with the Cards and three division titles with Kansas City. He became the 19th manager to make the Hall.
PITTSBURGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Manny Legace stopped 30 shots, Ray Whitney had the decisive goal and an assist and the Carolina Hurricanes won on the road for the first time this season by holding off the Penguins 3-2 on Monday night. Eric Staal and Joni Pitkanen each had two assists and Andrew Alberts and Jussi Jokinen also scored as Carolina ended its 13-game road losing streak (0-10-3). The Hurricanes finally played the way they wanted to during the Eastern Conference finals last spring, when Pittsburgh won the first two at home and then finished off the sweep on the road before
Harvey umpired in the N.L. for 31 seasons before retiring in 1992. He worked five World Series and six All-Star games, and handled more than 4,600 games overall. Harvey, 79, became the ninth umpire in the Hall.

Carolina found its game or the speed to match Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s star forwards. Despite being without top goalie Cam Ward, the Hurricanes opened a 3-0 lead early in the second, held off Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flurry later in that period and never let the Penguins take control in the third. Sidney Crosby and Mike Rupp scored less than a minute apart in the second, but the Penguins couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do any other damage against Legace, who turned aside Crosby and Jordan Staal during the final 10 seconds. The Hurricanes remain the NHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst team by far with a 7-17-5 record and 19 points.

the St. Louis Cardinals a chance to clinch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not bitter at Denkinger,â&#x20AC;? Herzog said at Busch Stadium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good guy, he knows he made a mistake, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a human being. It happened at an inopportune time but I do think they ought to have instant replay in the playoffs and World Series.â&#x20AC;? As for Harvey, Herzog joshed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why he should get in. Doug kicked me out of more games than any umpire.â&#x20AC;? Like Herzog, Harvey fell one vote shy last time. This time, they both easily drew enough support to reach Cooperstown.
The 25-year-old Moore also showed a strong arm when he had a chance, completing 14 of 20 passes for 161 yards. It included a 66-yard completion to Steve Smith in the fourth quarter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest pass of the season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that set up the clinching field goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shoot, it was a great throw,â&#x20AC;? tight end Jeff King said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been missing the last couple weeks with our passing game.â&#x20AC;? Indeed, Carolina has been bogged down with Delhomme having the worst season of his career. While Moore overthrew Smith for what wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a touchdown and threw an interception on a poor pass intended for Dante Rosario, he showed more precision than Delhomme, who has 18 interceptions in 11 games. While Fox wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it certain, Moore will likely be starting Sunday at the Patriots (7-5), who will be desperate to end a two-game losing streak Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the start of the big-boy portion of the schedule for Moore. After New England, the Panthers face Minnesota (10-2), the New York Giants (7-5) and New Orleans (120) to close the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He needed to build some confidence in himself,â&#x20AC;? King said of Moore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For him, he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played in a couple of years, or at least started in a game. It was good for him to get some plays under his belt, some success, and hopefully he can build on that for this week.â&#x20AC;?

Baseball Hall calls for Herzog, ump Harvey INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Whitey Herzog spent a good, long time stewing about a blown call in the 1985 World Series. So in a strange way, perhaps this fits: Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going into the Hall of Fame, standing next to an umpire. Herzog and prominent crew chief Doug Harvey got the call Monday, elected to the Hall by the Veterans Committee. Herzog was a single vote short in his previous try, and mightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made it sooner with another crown on his resume. But he was forever linked to Don Denkinger after the umpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infamous miss in Game 6 so long ago cost

Merritt captures PGAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Q-school tournament
Virginia picks Spidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coach CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mike London said all the right things in accepting the job to rebuild Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football program, talking of how high academic standards shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rule out success on the field and the importance of building deep and personal relationships. The latter will be especially true as it relates to high schools and recruiting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we have to recapture the state of Virginia,â&#x20AC;? the former Richmond coach said Monday. He succeeds his former boss, Al Groh, who was fired last Sunday after nine seasons and a 1-8 record against Virginia Tech. London agreed to a five-year contract that will pay him $1.7 million per year to take over a team coming off a 3-9 record, its worst since 1982. It has had three losing seasons in the last four and fallen behind the rival Hokies in the minds of many in-state recruits. London, widely respected as a recruit-
er, said he intends to build a network that reaches not only into high schools, but into the surrounding communities because, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about how much you know until they know about how much you care.â&#x20AC;? He also had a message for prep coaches, particularly in the state: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Virginia hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been there, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be there.â&#x20AC;? London left a team that won the Football Championship Subdivision national championship in 2008 and reached the quarterfinals of the playoffs this year to return to a place he knows well, having spent six years as an assistant under Groh in two stints between 2001-07. The courtship was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a whirlwind,â&#x20AC;? according to London, who said the downer of losing to Appalachian State in the last 10 seconds on Saturday night was replaced early the next morning by â&#x20AC;&#x153;euphoriaâ&#x20AC;? once Virginia asked for permission to speak with him.

Bowden f inale a fast sellout JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bobby Bowdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final game will take place in a packed house. The Gator Bowl said Monday it sold every ticket for the New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day game in record time, less than two hours. All 77,474 tickets have been sold. Florida State (6-6) will play Bowdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former team, No. 18 West Virginia (9-3). Bowden announced last week that the bowl game would be his last. The Gator passed up Clemson, Miami and Boston College to select the Seminoles and give Bowden an alluring matchup in his finale.

The Florida QB won the award for college footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top player in 2007 and finished third last season.

Stanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gerhart, meanwhile, has run for more yards (1,736) than any player in the nation.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Troy Merritt has never played in a PGA Tour event. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about to change. Even after making double-bogey on the final hole, Merritt shot a 3-under 69 on Monday to win the PGA Tour qualifying tournament, finishing the sixround event at 22-under and one shot ahead of tour veteran Jeff Maggert. Matt Jones (66) was third at 19-under in the event where the top 25 finishers earned cards on the PGA Tour for 2010. Rickie Fowler made it comfortably, his final-round 70 leaving him tied for 15th. Merritt earned $50,000 for medalist honors. David Lutterus shot a 64 to jump to eighth after being outside the top 25 at the start. Shane Bertsch had a 65, leaping from 50th to 15th.

NEW YORK (AP) — Even the prospect of interest rates staying low couldn’t keep buyers in the stock market. Stocks ended little changed Monday, having given back a brief afternoon gain that followed comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. The Fed chief said unemployment and other problems would hold the economy to “moderate” improvements and that rates are likely to remain low. Bernanke’s remarks sent the dollar down because low rates make a currency less attractive, and that gave stocks a boost since a lower dollar can add to profits for U.S. companies that do business overseas. The market’s gains evaporated later, however, as the dollar pared its losses. Dan Deming, a trader with Stutland Equities, said there were simply too few buyers on a day

But Dell said it is not required to reimburse the state for credits it received in past years. “Our belief and our understanding is that we met the performance thresholds required for those incentives during those years, and no, we are not obliged to repay those,” said David Frink, a Dell spokesman. “Nor have we received any request from anyone at the state level of North Carolina to do so.”
Dell was eligible for about $6 million in tax credits over the period from 2005 through 2007, according to the N.C. Department of Revenue. The amount of credits that the company actually claimed during those years is not public information, and neither the department nor the company would release it. The tax credits were only one part of an economic incentives package that state and local governments gave
to Dell in 2004 to entice the company to build its new plant in Winston-Salem. A larger portion of the incentives package came in the form of monetary grants from state and local entities. By closing its plant after only four years, Dell violated the terms of its agreements, and it had to repay the grant money. It repaid $26.5 million to city and county entities, and it repaid $1.5 million to the N.C. Department of Commerce.

Monday the company may need to change course and unload assets as it struggles to pay back lenders. What eventually gets sold remains uncertain. Clearer is the city-state’s position that the government itself
won’t be responsible for Dubai World’s debts, renewing questions about its backing of other state-run companies. “Like any company that has commitments, part of getting liquidity is selling

Dell balks at repaying credits WINSTON-SALEM – State officials are at odds with Dell Inc. over whether Dell must repay millions of dollars in tax credits that it received as part of a massive incentives deal. North Carolina’s secretary of revenue said the state can recoup the money now that Dell has decided to close its computer-assembly plant in Forsyth County.

Bernanke: It’s too early to declare lasting recovery WASHINGTON (AP) – Despite some economic improvements, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warned Monday it’s still too soon to declare that the budding recovery will last. “We still have some way to go before we can be assured that the recovery will be self sustaining,” Bernanke said in prepared remarks to the Economic Club of Washington. The Fed chief repeated his belief that the recovery will
continue at least into next year. But he cautioned that the economy is confronting some “formidable headwinds” – including a weak job market, cautious consumers and still-tight credit. Those forces “seem likely to keep the pace of expansion moderate,” he said. Some private forecasters continue to worry that the recovery could fizzle late next year as government stimulus fades.
A cautiously optimistic Bernanke said he expects “modest” economic growth next year. That should help push down the nation’s unemployment rate – now at 10 percent – “but at a pace slower than we would like,” he acknowledged.

By doing so, the Fed hopes to entice people and businesses to boost spending, which would aid the recovery. Despite all the negative forc-
