FedEx begins to draw on economic incentives

AT A GLANCE

–

FedEx Corp. was pledged an incentives package that could total $115 million over 25 years when the overnight shipping conglomerate committed in 1998 to build its latest national cargo hub at Piedmont Triad International Airport. When passed by the N.C. General Assembly 11 years ago, the FedEx incentives were the largest in state history and still rank as one of the biggest packages offered to a North Carolina employer. The various incentives are performance-based, meaning FedEx receives the incentives as the company meets obligations. FedEx opened its mid-Atlantic cargo hub June 1.

GREENSBORO – FedEx Corp. has begun to draw economic incentives pledged 11 years ago after the company announced it would build its latest national cargo hub at Piedmont Triad International Airport.

FedEx, which opened its hub June 1, has received approximately $2 million in incentives so far, said Jim McCluskey, a spokesman at corporate headquarters in Memphis, Tenn.

After FedEx announced in April 1998 that it would build its mid-Atlantic hub at PTIA, the N.C. General Assembly passed what at the time was a

New section of U.S. 311 should open to traffic by June

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Commuters and other motorists should have the chance to travel along a new section of U.S. 311 between High Point and northern Randolph County by the late spring or early summer of next year.

The new section of U.S. 311 between Interstate 85 Business Loop in High Point and Spencer Road in Randolph County should open to traffic by June, said Rob Stone, a N.C. Department of Transportation operations engineer out of Aberdeen.

On Thursday, crews were working on the surface of new U.S. 311 near Cedar

Square and Poole roads in northern Randolph County. The new U.S. 311 segment, on which work began more than two years ago, covers 6.4 miles.

When it opens, the new segment will improve the commute for workers between communities in northern Randolph County and High Point, said Beverly Nelson, president of the Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Commerce.

“More significantly for us, it will help us develop the corridors along N.C. 62, Interstate 85 and the U.S. 311 bypass for those who want to do business and shop. It will be a catalyst for economic development,” Nelson said.

The final section of U.S. 311 from Spencer Road to U.S. 220 should be completed by November 2012, Stone said. The final section will cover approximately 8 miles.

Eventually, U.S. 311

will become part of the Interstate 74 system that will link the Midwest to the coast of South Carolina. Leaders in the Triad have lobbied for decades to complete the highway link around High Point

and through Randolph County.

Boost to businesses will help create jobs

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

RANDOLPH COUNTY – Local businesses in Archdale and Trinity are getting a little help from local and county governments that is expected to lead to much-needed jobs in the area.

The Randolph County Board of Commissioners agreed to assist an Archdale business and another one in Trinity with projects during its monthly meeting last week.

Randolph County Commissioner Darrell Frye said the Randolph County Board of Commissioners has agreed to award Stickley Fine Upholstery a $5,625 grant for the furniture company to upgrade climate control systems at its Eden

Terrace Facility. Last month, the Archdale City Council agreed to award Stickley the same amount.

In May, the Archdale City Council voted to participate with Randolph County in extending an economic grant of $11,250 to Stickley.

At that time, Randolph County commissioners and the City Council decided to fund 50 percent each, or $5,625, of the grant for the furniture company to get natural gas service.

Stickley, however, learned that Piedmont Natural Gas would provide service to the facility, causing the furniture company to request that the economic incentive grant be redirected so it could make the upgrade of the climate control system to the Eden Terrace Facility.

Commissioners and the Archdale City Council had to reconsider the grant because funds are going to be used for a purpose different than what was approved by both governing bodies earlier this year.

Stickley plans to invest $880,000 and add 20 jobs at the rate of $14 to $15 per hour over two years. The Stickley expansion also will boost Archdale’s revenue by $1,236 annually and the county’s by $2,366 a year.

Commissioners also agreed to assist Trinity Furniture with its efforts to get sewer service, Frye said.

Along with the Trinity City Council’s expenditure of $25,000, Randolph County commissioners will contribute $25,000 toward a

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

$680,000 project that would provide sewer service to the company.

Jorge Lagueruela, owner of Trinity Furniture, has said his company will fund $310,000 of the project.

Lagueruela is seeking grants to complete the rest of the project, with the city of Trinity being the administrator for the grants. If approved for the grants, Trinity Furniture would add 10 jobs.

Last month, Lagueruela said he needs sewer because the lack of the service prohibits him from adding employees. While the Randolph County Health Department limits Trinity Furniture to 55 to 60 workers, the company currently employs about 80, according to Lagueruela. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Carl Melissas (front) and Dave Missom test some of the product of Wedge Brewing, one of several new breweries opening in Asheville.

Western N.C. city becoming center for breweries ASHEVILLE (AP) – The opening of two more breweries in Asheville is shining more light on the city’s nationally known craft brewing community. Buncombe County is now home to 10 professional breweries, counting Asheville Brewing’s two locations.

But some are wondering how many more breweries the city can support.

With the launch of Craggie Brewing Co., and the scheduled opening later this month of the Lexington Avenue Brewery (also known as the LAB), Asheville has more craft breweries per capita than any other city in the U.S., said Julie Johnson, editor of All About Beer magazine.

“Asheville is a big league beer destination,” she said. “People are aware of Asheville as a beer destination.”

With each brewery having its own niche, there’s no set number on how many a city can support, she said. “You can have a block of restaurants and no one says it’s too many,” she said. “Right now, it’s just generating more interest.”

The challenge is making products customers will embrace, said Oscar Wong, majority owner and founder of Highland Brewing Co., the city’s biggest and oldest craft

“There are beer drinkers and (pub and restaurant accounts) for all of us.”

The LAB, in the former T.S. Morrison’s store, will include a restaurant, music room, and in a unique twist, an upstairs hostel.

“It took longer than I figured,” said co-owner Mike Healy, who partnered with Steve Wilmans to build the brewery. “I remain extremely excited about it.”

Ben Pierson, who previously brewed at Jack of the Wood (Green Man Brewing), has beer now cooking in the tanks.

As for the competition, “the thought has crossed my mind,” Healy said. “But we have a traJulie Johnson ditional brew pub that will bring All About Beer editor in the business we are looking for.

7-year-old girl shot, wounded at skating rink CHARLOTTE (AP) – Authorities in North Carolina’s largest city are looking for a suspect after a 7-year-old girl was shot in the leg by a stray bullet at a roller skating rink.

The Charlotte Observer reported Sunday that Charlotte-Mecklen-

A suspect has been identified, but police are not revealing his name.

Capt. Michelle Hummel said officers were called to the Starlight Roller Rink Saturday afternoon.

Hummel said two men got into an

RALEIGH – City firefighter Lt. Harry P. “Flip” Kissinger was a big, strong, handsome guy who made the job fun, his co-workers said.

“He was something of a prankster, a jokester. On this job you are exposed to a lot of tragedy,” said W. Rusty Styons, the Raleigh Fire Department’s fire marshal. “Back at the station Flip was one of those people who could make you laugh after a long, tough call.”

But there was no laughter to lift the somber mood among the city’s fire ranks Friday after WakeMed hospital officials announced that Kissinger, a veteran firefighter and married father of two young daughters, had died.

WakeMed officials pronounced Kissinger dead at

about 11 a.m., from injuries suffered in a vehicle crash on his way home from work a week ago, Styons said.

The city’s fire chiefs and commanders met briefly at the downtown station Friday afternoon upon learning that Kissinger had died, according to Denise Smith, a fire department spokeswoman.

“Everyone was pulling for him,” she said “I knew him very well.

He was something special,” said Styons. “This is a special job with a lot of special people, but he was a standout guy.”

Kissinger joined the department Oct. 27, 1996.

He was critically injured Dec. 4 when a Wake County school bus, driven by Sheila Hall of Garner, crossed the center line and struck two vehicles in the opposite lane, including Kissinger’s Dodge truck.

The girl was shot once in the right leg just above the knee by the bullet. She was in stable condition at Carolinas Medical Center. Hummel said the 7-year-old didn’t know either of the men.

Package to combine incentives FROM PAGE 1

five in modern state history based on total dollar amount to one company, according to research from the Civitas Institute in Raleigh.

The overall amount of incentives pledged to FedEx is based on the expected growth of the hub operation over time, McCluskey said.

“We are meeting our operations obligations as it relates to everything we committed to,” he said.

The FedEx package will combine incentives based on property, sales and income tax benefits and growth in hub activity, McCluskey said. The approximately $2 million that FedEx has received so far in state incentives involves waived sales tax on building supplies to

construct the hub, McCluskey said.

The hub cost $300 million, and the airport is separately spending more than $200 million – the vast majority of which is federal and state funding – to build a new runway and related taxiways to accommodate the hub.

FedEx, which has pledged to create 1,500 full- and part-time jobs when the hub is fully operational, now has about 200 workers. Its hiring has been stunted by the recession, though company officials have said that they are in a position to expand at the hub as business conditions warrant it. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Stolen Seattle totem pole found in Oregon SEATTLE (AP) – Police say an 18-foot-tall totem pole stolen from a West Seattle park has been found about 200 miles away in Oregon.

The Seattle Times reports a 69-year-old West Seattle man led investigators to the pole. Police say he apparently had a crew with a crane help move the totem, but it’s unclear

if the crew knew the man didn’t have permission to take the landmark.

The totem pole was noticed missing last week.

The Rotary Club of West Seattle donated the pole to the city in 1976 and estimates it would have cost about $75,000 to replace.

At the request of Seattle investigators, author-

ities in Oregon went to an address provided by the 69-year-old man and found the pole on a boat trailer in a Salem-area parking lot.

Seattle police spokesman Mark Jamieson says the pole appears to be undamaged, and detectives are putting together a case to send to the prosecutor’s office.

Choose your TV news sources by comparing them The often quoted statement, “You are what you eat” can be slightly revised to directly apply to your source for daily news. In the case of television news, “We become what we watch.”

Even though I realize some individuals no longer routinely obtain their national and international news from television, I believe most readers of this message still do, perhaps just from habit. I suspect most readers are still routinely watching one of the major networks as they have done for many years or even decades.

Sadly, the choice often stems from which anchor personality we “like.” Whatever the reasons, if you continue to watch news broadcasts by networks that routinely turn a blind eye to what is happening in Washington, D.C., and whose reporters persistently fail to ask the necessary penetrating questions of our elected officials, you will be lulled ever deeper into sleep as your nation is bankrupted and your freedoms taken from you.

Before you dismiss that statement as exaggeration, just honestly examine the basic math. We absolutely cannot afford the excessive spending that has already taken place and mind-boggling additional proposals threaten to be added almost daily.

Schools report raises V eyebrows

S

ome may claim that the John Locke Foundation is too harsh a critic, but the fact that only four grades above B-minus were given to five public school districts in The High Point Enterprise circulation area certainly makes one wonder about how much progress is being made in improving education.

The foundation provided grades in four categories: administration, teachers, safety and academics. The Davidson (for teachers) and Thomasville (for safety) districts earned B’s, while Guilford (academics) and Lexington City Schools (safety) were given a B-minuses.

And the Thomasville district fared the worst, given F’s for administration, teachers and academics.

Whether you believe grades given public schools districts by a think-tank organization amount to a hill of beans or not, you have to admit that the John Locke Foundation’s report cards at least call attention to categories where each of the districts must focus their attention.

And it always seems profitable to hear from those who want to hold school districts accountable. Such attempts shouldn’t be sloughed off as meaningless just because the report cards aren’t positive.

You would have free health benefits even though you could afford to pay for most of it. Attend lavish parties and drink and eat to your heart’s content while the ones who pay for it struggle just to survive (we taxpayers). They throw our taxes around like yesterday’s garbage.

We can weed out this Washington trash by voting them out.

If more garbage gets in, make it so rough on them they will quit laughing at the taxpayer who feeds these self-centered moneymongers.

They waste more of our tax dollars in one week than most of us make in a year or more. It’s time to put these banjo picking grasshoppers who play while we ants (so to speak) work in their place.

Having students do cute activities isn’t education

ideos this fall of American children in school singing songs of praise for Barack Obama were a little much, especially for those of us old enough to remember pictures of children singing the praises of dictators like Hitler, Stalin and Mao. But you don’t need a dictator to make you feel queasy about the manipulation of children. The mind-set that sees children in school as an opportunity for teachers to impose their own notions, instead of developing the child’s ability to think for himself or herself, is a dangerous distortion of education.

Parents send their children to school to acquire the knowledge that has come down to us as a legacy of our culture – whether it is mathematics, science, or whatever – so that those children can grow up and go out into the world equipped to face life’s challenges.

Too many “educators” see teaching not as a responsibility to the students but as an opportunity for themselves – whether to indoctrinate a captive audience with the teacher’s ideology, manipulate them in social experiments or just do fun things that make teaching easier, whether or not it really educates the child.

You can, of course, call anything that happens in a classroom “education” – but that does not make it education, except in the eyes of those who cannot think beyond words. Unfortunately, the dumbed-down education of previous generations means that many parents today see nothing wrong with their children being manipulated in school, instead of being educated.

Such parents may see nothing wrong with spending precious time in classrooms chitchatting about how everyone “feels” about things on television or in their personal life.

But while our children are frittering away time on trivia, other children in other countries are acquiring the skills in math, science or other fields that will allow them to take the jobs our children will meed when they grow up. Foreigners can take those jobs either by coming to America and outperforming Americans or by having those jobs outsourced to them overseas.

In short, schools are supposed to prepare children for the future, not give teachers opportunities for self-indulgences in the present. One of these self-indulgences was exemplified by a letter I received recently from a fifth-grader in the Sayre Elementary School in Lyon, Mich.

He said, “I have been assigned to ask a famous person a question about how he or she would solve a difficult problem.” The problem was what to do about the economy.

Instead, I replied to his parents: With American students OPINION consistently scoring near or at the bottom in international Thomas tests, I am repeatedly appalled Sowell by teachers who waste their ■■■ students’ time by assigning them to write to strangers, chosen only because those strangers’ names have appeared in the media.

It is of course much easier – and more “exciting,” to use a word too many educators use – to do cute little stuff like this than to take on the sober responsibility to develop in students both the knowledge and the ability to think that will enable them to form their own views on matters in both public and private life. What earthly good would it do your son to know what economic policies I think should be followed, especially since what I think should be done will not have the slightest effect on what the government will in fact do? And why should a fifth-grader be expected to deal with such questions that people with Ph.D.’s in economics have trouble wrestling with?

The damage does not end with wasting students’ time and misdirecting their energies, serious though these things are. Getting students used to looking to so-called “famous” people for answers is the antithesis of education as a preparation for making up one’s own mind as citizens of a democracy, rather than as followers of “leaders.”

Nearly two hundred years ago, the great economist David Ricardo said: “I wish that I may never think the smiles of the great and powerful a sufficient inducement to turn aside from the straight path of honesty and the convictions of my own mind.”

The fad of assigning students to write to strangers is an irresponsible self-indulgence of teachers who should be teaching. But that practice will not end until enough parents complain to enough principals and enough elected officials to make it end.

Protesters deny burning Khomeini photos TEHRAN, Iran â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hundreds of students at Tehran University renewed anti-government protests for a second week on Sunday, accusing authorities of fabricating images of demonstrators burning photos of the Islamic Republicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revered founder Ayatollah Khomeini.

Students moved to the forefront of opposition on the streets with massive protests last week. They say authorities are using the images of burning photos as a pretext to crack down on their protests.

Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi is surrounded by staff after attack Sunday.

Attacker hurls statuette, bloodies Berlusconiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face ROME (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An attacker hurled a statuette at Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi, striking the leader in the face at the end of a rally Sunday and leaving the stunned 73-year-old media mogul with a broken nose and bloodied mouth.

Police said the 42-yearold man accused of attacking Berlusconi as

he signed autographs in Milan was immediately taken into custody.

The Italian leader was rushed to a hospital where he was being held overnight.

The attack occurred at a time when Berlusconi, one of Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wealthiest men, is embroiled in a sex scandal, a divorce case with his wife and

public protests demanding his resignation.

TV showed the stunned leader with blood under his nose, on his mouth and under one eye as he was lifted to his feet by aides after Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attack. He was hustled into the back of a car, but he immediately got out, apparently to show he was not badly injured.

BAGHDAD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top security chiefs said Sunday that the U.S. military had warned them in advance about an imminent attack but the tip came too late to act on before last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadly Baghdad bombings against government sites.

An Interior Ministry official, meanwhile, said 13 al-Qaida-linked suspects have been detained in connection with last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bombings, the third of their kind since August.

At least 127 people were killed and more than 500 wounded in the bombings.

The disclosure of the U.S. tip and the announcement on the arrests came on the third day of a grilling

by Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parliament of government officials on the security breaches that allowed Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attacks to take place in some of the most heavily protected sections of the Iraqi capital.

Push for 350 holds key in climate talks COPENHAGEN (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As police cracked down on climate protesters, church bells tolled 350 times Sunday to impress on the U.N. global warming conference a number that is gaining a following.

Negotiators pushed 350

looms as a goal for true believers. It refers to 350 parts per million of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the highest concentration that some leading scientists say the world can handle without sparking dangerous climate effects.

Drive to help Thomasville official donates car to raise money for United Way

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Thomasville City Manager Kelly Craver says he believes in the United Way of Davidson County because the nonprofit “reaches out and helps citizens of Davidson County.”

And for that very reason, Craver has decided to raffle off one of his personal vehicles, a 1985 Nissan 300 ZX, for the United

Way of Davidson County.

“I purchased it to restore in 2002, and it really was my daily drive,” Craver said, adding that the work has included a new paint job and “everything in the front of the motor – radiator, timing belt, water pump, all the belts and hoses, all of the plug wires and underneath, front struts, new tires.”

“We’ve done quite a bit to the car,” he said.

Craver notified Lee Jessup,

president of the United Way of Davidson County, about his idea of selling the Nissan during lunch this past summer. Craver said he and Jessup “jumped in the car, rode around for a while.”

“Lee just seemed to think that this would be a great idea,” Craver said.

“Kelly serves on our United Way Board and knows firsthand about the need in Davidson County,” Jessup said.

“He wanted to do something special for the United Way this year, and the donation of his car is quite generous.”

One thousand raffle tickets, which are being sold for $5 a piece, have been printed, and

all proceeds go toward this year’s United Way of Davidson County campaign. Raffle tickets can be purchased at Thomasville City Hall, 10 Salem St., and United Way of Davidson County, 11 Court Square, Suite 100, Lexington.

A drawing for Craver’s car will be held Dec. 24.

With funds from the raffle going toward United Way of Davidson County’s campaign goal of $2 million, Jessup said the organization is estimating that it will be between 10 to 15 percent short of its goal.

Jessup said United Way of Davidson County would like to wrap up the campaign by Dec. 31, but a few businesses

wait until January to do their campaigns.

“While this is not as bad as we thought it would be back in early fall, it seriously impacts the work of the 30 human service agencies that receive United Way funding,” Jessup said. “We would still love for those who haven’t given yet to make a gift so allocations won’t have to be cut so drastically,” Those wishing to make a donation to the United Way of Davidson County can do so by sending a check to the nonprofit at P.O.

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

TRIAD – An estimated 24,000 workers will have an important job next year collecting information for the 2010 census.

Gov. Beverly Perdue announced this week that 24,000 census jobs will be available throughout North Carolina. Hiring will begin in January.

Some jobs will begin as early as January, while most will begin in February and March, and will extend until June or July. The decennial census will take place in April.

“More than $400 billion in federal funds will be distributed each year based on the census count, so a complete count is critical to North Carolina,” Perdue said.

Based on recent estimates, the state will receive approximately $14,000 in federal funding per person counted over the next 10 years.

In addition, census data is the basis for the state demographer’s projections, which are used to determine the distribution of state funds and determine whether North Carolina will receive an additional seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The census is administered by the federal government, but requires support at the state and local level through Complete Count Committees.

“The census form will be the shortest and easiest in history – 10 questions that will take only 10 minutes to complete, available in 59 different languages so that no one is left out,” said Nancy Potok, U.S. Commerce Department deputy under secretary.

CENSUS JOBS

–

Offices: A census office will open Tuesday in Winston-Salem at 450 W. Hanes Mill Road, suite 105.

Other offices are planned for Asheboro, Boone, Concord, Durham, Gastonia, Hickory, Raleigh, Rocky Mount and Wilmington.

Jobs: Applicants must be a U.S. citizen or legal resident, be at least 18 years old, pass a background check and take a written test of basic skills.

Information: Job seekers can find application information at www.2010censusjobs.gov or by calling 1-866-861-2010. The information is also available via the Employment Security Commission at www.ncesc.com or JobsNOW.nc.gov.

David and Kathleen married in 1947 and enjoyed 51 years of happiness together. Kathleen worked at Snelling & Snelling in High Point, and also at Commercial Credit Corporation, and enjoyed her professional life and acquaintances very much.

Later in her life she was an avid and very effective teacher at the Dudley Cosmetology University in Kernersville.

She had several cats and horses during her life, and was very devoted to them, as she was to all animals.

Creator of first 50-star American flag dies at 67 SAGINAW, Mich. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Robert G. Heft, who is credited with designing and sewing the first 50star American flag, has died. He was 67.

Wakeman Funeral Home says Heft died Saturday at a hospital in Saginaw. A cause of death wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately available.

Heft made the flag in 1958 as part of a high school history project in Lancaster, Ohio. He spent more than 12 hours sewing the design on his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Singer sewing machine. President Dwight D. Eisenhower chose Heftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design to replace the 48-star flag.

Born in Saginaw, Heft left Michigan after his parents separated when

DURHAM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The petition contesting the Jordan Lake watershed boundary is going to court.

Four Durham County landowners are asking for a judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling on the legality of a rezoning, which effectively moved the boundary.

The Haw River Assembly of Bynum and the Southern Environmental Law Center of Chapel Hill filed the petition against the rezoning on behalf of 24 property owners who would be affected by the rezoning.

But City/County Planning Director Steve Medlin ruled the petition invalid before the commissionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 3-2 vote to approve the rezoning.

A valid protest petition would have required a 41 â&#x20AC;&#x153;super majorityâ&#x20AC;? for approval of the rezoning.

Bridge projects could cause coastal headaches

AP

Grace Jenkins is seen near the gravestone of her ancestor, Civil War veteran Aristarchus Jenkins, who was buried in the Dorothea Dix cemetery in 1891. Aristarchus Jenkins, a foot soldier in the North Carolina Infantry, survived some of the most horrific battles of the Civil War only to die a solitary death after being shunned by his family.

Search under way to ID patients buried in Dorthea Dix cemetery asylum cemetery in 1859, about three years after the hospital opened. It is perhaps representative of societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view of the value of those buried there that by the time the last grave was dug in 1970, the cemetery was abutted on two sides by a City of Raleigh landfill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those were times people just went to Dix, and a lot of them were never heard from again,â&#x20AC;? said Burley Mitchell, a former chief justice of the N.C. Supreme Court who has worked to honor those buried on the hospital grounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They lived and died there and were buried as paupers.â&#x20AC;?

There are thought to be more than 1,000 graves at Dix, some lost under mounds of rotting refuse in the now-closed landfill.

A modest restoration effort began about 20 years ago after hospital workers noticed that garbage trucks running over a corner of the graveyard, had exposed decaying wood from some of the caskets crafted in a hospital workshop.

Volunteers used dinner forks to probe the red clay for graves, and the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maintenance department erected a modest chain fence to delineate what were thought to be the cemeteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boundaries.

In the 1990s, hospital employees dug through decades-old records in an attempt to identify who was where.

About 700 graves are now topped with

brick-sized stones cut by a local headstone company. Most are covered by a layer of grass, only visible if someone goes rooting around for them.

A handful of patients did have larger markers paid for by loved ones, but many had been broken or scattered over the years. With donations, the hospital erected a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wall of Remembrance,â&#x20AC;? where some of the broken stones are mounted.

Aristarchus Jenkins, long forgotten by even his own kin, was laid to rest with no such distinctive marker.

Gracie Jenkins, a graphic artist from Raleigh, found him in records of the 1870 Census, listed as a 32-year-old resident of the N.C. State Insane Asylum. The register from Dix noted that Aristarchus died of consumption, the term often used to describe tuberculosis, in January 1891. He was 51. The records also gave the location of his grave in the Dix cemetery. Row E, plot No. 30.

Later, she successfully petitioned the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to provide a headstone, which was erected in 2006 with the help of a local chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Charles Purser, a member of the group, said he plans to research the long list of those buried at Dix for the names of other veterans.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Confederate privateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grave lay in the old cemetery at Dorothea Dix Hospital, anonymous and forgotten for more than a century.

But in a queer twist of history, Aristarchus Lee Jenkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; service to the Southern cause is now honored with a brilliant white marble headstone bought by his former enemy, the U.S. government.

A foot soldier in the North Carolina Infantry, Jenkins survived some of the most horrific battles of the Civil War. He was twice wounded by Yankee lead and was likely present for the death of his older brother.

Not long after the guns fell silent, Jenkins was admitted to the state asylum suffering from â&#x20AC;&#x153;mania.â&#x20AC;? He lived there until his death in 1891, according to the few hospital records still available.

Like hundreds of other patients shunned by their families, the Granville County native was buried in a plot in the cemetery marked with only his hospital case number, 821. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aristarchus laid his life on the line to defend his homeland,â&#x20AC;? said Gracie Jenkins, a great-great-niece and amateur genealogist who uncovered the soldierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think he should be forgotten about. His life, what he went through, was so hard.â&#x20AC;?

The first body was buried in the

ings and cross support beams under the 78-yearold Pasquotank River east bound bridge, a project that could take six weeks.

Eventually, the bridge will be replaced with a new $81.9 million span.

The Pasquotank River bridge is the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main entry from the east. Traffic counts range from 9,500 to 18,600, according to an environmental impact study done earlier this year.

In addition, the 69-yearold Charles Creek Bridge is set for replacement this spring. In 1986, inspectors gave it a life expectancy of 10 years.

On the other side of town, the state plans in 2012 to replace both Knobbs Creek bridges on Business U.S. 17 with one $7 million span, said Jennifer Garifo, spokeswoman for NCDOT. The older two-lane northbound span, was built in 1940.

ELIZABETH CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Projects to replace four old bridges in high-traffic areas in a coastal North Carolina city could have an impact on traffic and business for years.

The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk reports that among the bridges to be replaced in Elizabeth City is one that serves as the main entry into town. But all four bridges have very poor ratings, and three of them are more than 50 years old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We live in the middle of a swamp with lots of rivers and creeks, so we need lots of bridges,â&#x20AC;? said Jennifer Palestrant, director of the Elizabeth City Area Chamber of Commerce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Either that or itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of paddling. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be fun, but the highway engineers told us we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a choice.â&#x20AC;?

compost piles.

The result is that the hot ashes have created an FIREHOUSE avenue for fire to atCHAT tack. The sad part Lee of this Knight scenario â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; is that a few simple safety precautions could prevent a disaster.

Always put ashes into a metal bucket with a carrying handle. Place it on bricks or concrete at least 15 feet from a house. Make sure no flammable materials, including leaves, are near the bucket. Leave ashes in the metal bucket at least a week before dumping to ensure that no hot embers remain.

Never vacuum ashes with a shop vacuum. The air movement can cause embers to become hot, which could ignite the plastic holding tank after you store the vacuum.

Remember that fire is an opportunist waiting patiently for you to make a mistake. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to become educated so you can make good decisions and avoid the disaster fire can bring.

uring the years I have learned how fire lurks in the shadows of our lives, waiting for someone to make one simple mistake.

Fire is an opportunist that charges forward at every opportunity, and in the blink of an eye it can change your life forever. It is not limited by social or economic factors. If you use proper safety precautions, fire can be a friend that brings many benefits to your life. If proper safety precautions are ignored, fire can be a ruthless enemy.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to sound overly dramatic, but I do want you to understand that you always have to be on guard to protect your family and home from a devastating fire.

Disposal of wood stove and fireplace ashes is just such an example.

Far too many homes are damaged or destroyed by improper disposal of ashes. I have responded to several fires started by ashes that caused considerable damage to the home.

Many people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand that ashes can hold heat and hot embers for several days after the fire has gone out. Thinking the ashes are cold, people dispose of them in a paper bag or plastic bucket and place them next to their house or on a wooden deck. Others dump them in the woods or on

False gout creates true pain

D

ear Dr. Donohue: Will you please give some information on pseudogout? My husband has it, and not much has been written about it. He has suffered from it in his wrist, knee and ankle. Most people don’t realize there is a difference between gout and pseudogout. – A.S.

BLONDIE

Pseudogout (false gout) got its name because it resembles gout in many respects. With gout, uric acid crystals infiltrate joints. With pseudogout, calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals penetrate joints and the tissues around joints. Like gout, pseudogout comes on at older ages. Also like gout, the presence of crystals in the joint can produce attacks of intense pain.

Surprisingly, some people with CPPD crystals in their joints don’t suffer pain. Most do. And the crystals damage the joint cartilage. The affected joint swells and turns red.

In gout, the joint at the base of the big toe is the one most often targeted for a first attack. In pseudogout, the knee often is the first target. However, the wrist, ankle, shoulder, elbow and hands are other joints where pseudogout strikes.

X-rays of an involved joint help make the diagnosis. Recovering joint fluid containing calcium crystals is the most convincing evidence.

The pain of an acute pseudogout attack increases in severity over 12 to 36 hours, and lasts from a few days to a few weeks.

Between attacks, the joints are pain-free, unless they also have osteoarthritis, and often HEALTH they do.

The Dr. Paul nonsteroidal Donohue anti-inflam■■■ matory drugs – like Motrin, Aleve or Advil – often can end an attack. Colchicine, a gout medicine, also can control an acute attack. Cortisone injections into the joint bring rapid relief. If a person suffers frequent attacks, the daily use of colchicine can prevent them.

Dear Dr. Donohue: Two months ago, I found out that I have Meniere’s disease. My symptoms are ringing in my left ear and a decreased hearing in that ear. A long time ago, I had dizziness, but I don’t now. My doctor has me on a low-salt diet and told me to avoid caffeine, alcohol, tobacco and stress. He didn’t prescribe medicine. Is there a medicine that gets rid of the ringing? – A.A. Meniere’s (mainYARES) disease is attacks of tinnitus (ear ringing), hearing loss and dizziness. Many also complain of a feeling of fullness in the affected ear. The attacks last from two to 24 hours. The time between attacks shortens so that, at some point, the symptoms become permanent. The cause is a fluid buildup in the inner ear.

A very-low-salt diet

improves symptoms for many patients. Diuretics – water pills – also help. Surgery that shunts fluid from the inner ear is another possibility. The Meniett device creates pulses of pressure waves to the inner ear to displace fluid, and has been successful for some. For hearing loss, a hearing aid comes to the rescue.

With improved hearing, tinnitus often decreases.

No medicine gets rid of it. You should see an ear, nose and throat doctor who can review all the possible treatments and tell you which are best suited for you.

Dear Dr. Donohue: My grandson has epididymitis. Where does it come from? Is it curable?

– Anon.

The epididymis is a comma-shaped structure on the back of the testis. It is a long – 15 feet to 20 feet – very slender, twisted tube, coiled so tightly that it fits in a small space.

It provides nutritious fluid for sperm and is a temporary lodging place for them. Epididymitis (EP-uh-DID-uh-MITE-iss) is a painful inflammation of that structure, usually due to a bacterial infection. The bacteria come from other sites in the urinary tract or by way of sexual transmission.

This is a common condition. It’s responsible for 600,000 doctor visits a year in the United States.

Antibiotic treatment almost always results in quick relief from symptoms and a complete cure, in most cases.

The long and winding road

AP

Catherine McNamara (right) hugs Dr. Tonya Gerald after attending graduation rehearsal at North Carolina Central University in Durham on Friday.

On Saturday, McNamara crossed the stage at N.C. Central to collect her bachelor’s degree in pharmaceutical sciences. Her path took her to five institutions in three states over 17 years and she earned a scholarship here in 2007.

For one student, a long path to a college degree

BY JUSTIN POPE AP EDUCATION WRITER

D

URHAM – She looked like a good bet to beat the odds, but her first try at college, nearly 20 years ago, came up short.

From a tough, low-income neighborhood of Utica, N.Y., Catherine McNamara earned a scholarship to Northeastern University in Boston, but soon

Her path took her to five institutions in three states over 17 years and she earned a scholarship here (NCCU) in 2007. returned home. Her second attempt, at a nearby community college, ended when a car accident knocked her husband out of work.

Since then: two kids, scattered jobs, a move south. Life.

But on Saturday, McNamara crossed the stage at North Carolina Central University to collect her bachelor’s degree in pharmaceutical sciences – with a 3.98 GPA. Her path took her to five institutions in three states over 17 years and she earned a scholarship here in 2007.

An education, she said this week, “is the one thing you’ve earned for yourself absolutely nobody can take away from you.”

She expects to be bawling as her family watches commencement.

There’s no such thing as a typical college student these days.

Nearly a third of undergraduate college students are 25 or older.

About 70 percent have at least one characteristic that makes them “non-traditional” to government statisticians, such as part-time enrollment, caring for dependents, or working full-time while enrolled.

Supposedly, the “traditional” college student is 18 to 24, attending one institution full-time for four years. But that ideal has been steadily sliding toward mythology for decades. A majority of students who finish a bachelor’s degree attend multiple institutions along the way. Among older students, nearly half take eight years or longer.

What’s unusual about McNamara isn’t her winding journey, it’s her ultimate success. No country gives students more second chances to enroll in college than the United States. But where it falls short is helping non-traditional students complete a credential.

“When you look at who succeeds in college,” said Kati Haycock, president of The Education Trust, a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit, “you realize that any departure from the traditional path ... has huge consequences to the likelihood of students succeeding.”

Last week, Haycock’s group, working with a giant consortium of state university systems, released some of the most comprehensive data ever collected tracking individual students along their often peripatetic paths through higher education.

Like many older students, McNamara’s route included community colleges. In other surveys, roughly 80 percent of community college students say they hope

But the Education Trust data estimated under 10 percent succeed within 10 years.

Some explanations lie in public policy – the smaller resources for students serving low-income students, and the incentives to enroll students but not to graduate or help them successfully transfer.

Institutions, meanwhile,

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

complain many students need so much remedial help that they’re out of financial aid by the time they’re ready for college-level work. True, though Haycock and other experts believe the way many community colleges teach remedial work is deeply flawed.

The hardest problems, however, lie in the complicated lives of non-traditional students themselves.

A handful of pets have been sickened with swine flu in recent weeks, but here are doctors’ orders: Wash your hands and don’t panic.

The virus, also known as H1N1, has been diagnosed in only a few cats and ferrets since it emerged in April. Veterinarians say they don’t know if that is because so few animals have been tested or because so few have the disease.

“I think we’re probably going to be seeing more (pet) cases in the future.

There is more focus on it so people are looking harder,” said Dr. Kristy Pabilonia of the Colorado State University Department of Veterinary Medicine, which confirmed two new cases in cats on Friday.

A lethargic 13year-old tabby in Iowa that was having trouble breathing was the first house cat to be diagnosed. In the last two months, other cats have tested positive in Iowa, Utah and Pennsylvania. All have recovered or are expected to recover, Pabilonia said.

Swine flu appears to be the latest disease spread between animals and humans, said Dr. Miranda Spindel, Director of Veterinary Outreach for the ASPCA and based in Fort Collins, Colo. Other examples include ringworm, salmonella, plague and rabies.

“There are lots of diseases that are transmitted from people to pets and vice versa and people tend to forget that,” Spindel said.

However, it is rare for flu viruses to jump between species, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association.

And there is no evidence that humans can get the swine flu infection from pets.

SETTING TRICK “We set her straight,” Cy said, “but when she took the ace of trumps, she led a low club. West won with the queen and led a heart, and Minnie ruffed for down one.”

Minnie’s glasses triumphed again. The lead of the jack of clubs, creating an entry for West, was the only winning defense. If instead East shifts to a diamond, South can eventually draw trumps and pitch

a club on the queen of hearts.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A 8 6 H A D 9 8 5 3 2 C A J 7 4. You open one diamond, the player at your left overcalls one heart and your partner bids one spade. The next player passes. What do you say?

ANSWER: In many partnerships, North’s bid would promise a five-card suit since he could make a “negative double” with four spades. In any case, raise to two spades. Since your values are minimum, your hand is worth only one more bid. Use it to support your partner.

An unusual means to make some extra cash or a gift, settlement or reward of some sort will brighten your day. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Not everyone will understand what you are trying to accomplish but, if you really believe in what you are doing, stick to it. The true test will come when you show your finished project. You have more potential than you realize. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A love interest will capture your attention. You are likely to be used if you get emotionally caught up in what others do and want. Have faith in your own ability, desire and ideas. ★★

BRIDGE “If I defended like Minnie, I’d have doubled too.”

Cy the Cynic was talking about Minnie Bottoms, my club’s senior member, whose old bifocals make her mix up kings and jacks, often to her opponents’ dismay.

Cy was today’s South.

As East, Minnie hammered four spades, and West led a heart. Minnie took the ace and returned ... the jack of clubs!

“I took dummy’s king and led a trump,” Cy growled, “but Minnie insisted it was her lead.”

“She thought she had the king of clubs and had cashed it,” I laughed. “No wonder she doubled. She thought she had four top tricks.”

New England rallies past Panthers, 20-10 FOXBOROUGH, Mass.

(AP) – The New England Patriots showed up late and sent the Carolina Panthers home with another loss.

Four days after coach Bill Belichick told four players to leave when they were tardy for a team meeting, the Patriots shook off a poor first half, went ahead with 1:06 left in the third quarter on Tom Brady’s 5-yard touchdown pass to Benjamin Watson and beat the Panthers 2010 on Sunday.

The Patriots (8-5) snapped a two-game losing streak and maintained their one-game lead in the AFC East. The Panthers (5-8) lost for the third time in four games.

New England has played much better in the first half this season, but that changed Sunday.

The Patriots lost two fumbles and an interception before Brady’s pass to Watson broke a 7-7 tie and Stephen Gostkowski kicked field goals of 48 and 47 yards in the fourth quarter. They didn’t score their first touchdown until 1:08 remained in the first half when Kevin Faulk ran in from 3 yards on a drive helped by a 30-yard defensive pass interference call.

The Panthers had taken a 7-0 lead on Matt Moore’s 41-yard touchdown pass to Steve Smith with 2:43 left in the first quarter. But all they could manage after that was John Kasay’s 36-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter. Moore played for the second straight week in place of Jake Delhomme, who has a broken finger.

The victory capped an eventful week for the Patriots, starting with a 22-

New England defensive end Derrick Burgess (53) sacks Panthers quarterback Matt Moore (3) during the fourth quarter of the Patriots’ 20-10 victory on Sunday.

21 loss to the Miami Dolphins on a field goal with 1:07 left. After that game, Brady said his teammates sometimes don’t seem to fight as hard as they should.

On Tuesday, Brady’s wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, gave birth to their son. The new father

was at work on a snowy Wednesday morning, but wide receiver Randy Moss and linebackers Adalius Thomas, Gary Guyton and Derrick Burgess were sent home after arriving late for an 8 a.m. meeting.

Thomas, who questioned Belichick’s decision at length, was inactive Sun-

day despite being healthy.

But Moss didn’t do much better. He had just one catch for 16 yards and has only 11 receptions in his last four games.

Wes Welker, though, had another outstanding game with 10 catches for 105 yards, his fifth 100yard performance of the

season. He joined Marvin Harrison, Jerry Rice and Herman Moore as the only receivers with at least three consecutive 100catch seasons.

The Patriots had been outscored 73-24 in the second half of their five losses but were much better on Sunday.

Deacons shake off rust against Elon

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – Having forward Al-Farouq Aminu serve a light punishment proved to be one of the few negatives for Wake Forest on Sunday.

Establishing a working margin by the middle of the first half, the Demon Deacons blew out Elon after intermission and cruised to a 90-50 victory before an announced crown of 9,457 at Joel Coliseum.

The game was Wake’s first since a break for exams following an upset of nationally-ranked Gonzaga on Dec. 5. Wake improves to 6-2 while outmanned Elon drops to 3-7.

“I guess it took us a little while

to knock off the rust,” Deacon coach Dino Gaudio said, Wake held the Phoenix to 31 percent (18 of 58) field goal shooting for the game and held a 53-25 rebounding advantage, Elon was just 3-for-24 from 3-point range.

Ari Stewart scored 16 points to lead five Deacons in double-figures. Gary Clark and Ish Smith has 12 each. Aminu finished with 11 despite hitting just 3 of his 10 field goal attempts and grabbed 10 rebounds. L.D. Williams added 10 and C.J. Harris had 9.

Gaudio held Aminu out of the starting lineup for being late to the team’s shootaround on Sunday. Gaudio said Aminu was late because he failed to get a ride to Wake’s campus gym from the ho-

tel, where the team is staying between semesters, after Aminu’s roommate left Aminu behind.

“We just moved to the hotel and I got confused,” Aminu said. “I have to make sure I stay on top of my stuff.”

The punishment wasn’t severe, Aminu came into the game with 15:24 left in the first half.

“Maybe some of it was my fault for not having a van to bring the players to campus,” Gaudio said.

“But, (Aminu’s roommate) came to shoot early because I wanted him to be. So, (Aminu) wound up looking around for transportation but there is no excuse for that, none.”

Elon trailed by just two with 12:50 left in the first half before Wake went on a 11-1 run sparked

by seven straight points from Stewart on two buckets and three free throws. The Phoenix trailed by 13 at the half and were down 11 before Wake settled the matter for good by going on a 19-4 run to take a 64-36 lead with 11:23 left to play.

Chris Long led Elon with 11 points. Josh Bonney, who came into the game as the Phoenix leading scorer at 14.5 points per game, was held scoreless until the last five minutes and finished with four points.

“I thought we were competitively pretty tough in the first half, but weren’t as competitively tough in the second half,” Elon coach Matt Matheny said. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

HIT AND RUN

NFL NEW ENGLAND CAROLINA

on’t look now, but the Arizona Cardinals may be gearing for another Super Bowl run.

The Cardinals (8-4) can clinch the NFC West with a win tonight at San Francisco (5-7). Arizona owns four victories in its last five games and carries the franchise’s best record through 12 games since the St. Louis Cardinals stood 8-4 in 1976.

Quarterback Kurt Warner appears close to 100 percent after struggling with differ-

ent injuries earlier in the season. The wide receiver duo of Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin remains the most dangerous 1-2 punch in the business, and the ground game has been bolstered by the combo of Tim Hightower and Beanie Wells.

For all that, the Cardinals’ calling card in recent weeks has been stout defense.

The team stands tied for third in the NFL in sacks with 35 and held Minnesota’s Adrian Peterson to 19 yards on 13 carries

last week. That’s the second-lowest total of Peterson’s career.

High Point’s Adrian Wilson is still a hardhitting terror and veteran leader at safety for the defending NFC champion Cardinals, who have flown under the conference radar all season with the focus on the Saints, Vikings, Cowboys, Eagles and Giants.

It may be time for that to change.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

Jim Harbaugh will get his chance to continue leading Stanford onto the national football scene, a goal he set when he arrived three years ago.

Harbaugh finally made his long-awaited three-year contract extension official Sunday, when the Cardinal announced a deal that keeps him under contract through 2014.

The two sides were close to announcing the extension last year, but put it on hold because of the troubled economy.

Athletic director Bob Bowlsby confirmed the deal was completed Saturday, but the official announcement was put on hold until after Saturday’s Heisman Trophy ceremony.

Cardinal running back Toby Gerhart finished second to Alabama’s Mark Ingram.

Allenby claims fourth Aussie PGA crown COOLUM, Australia (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Robert Allenby won his fourth Australian PGA title for his second victory in two weeks, closing with a 5-under 66 on Sunday to beat fellow Australians John Senden and Scott Strange by four strokes.

Allenby, the Nedbank Challenge winner last week in South Africa, won the Australian PGA for the first time since

2005, when he swept all three tournaments in the so-called Australian Triple Crown â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the PGA, Open and Masters.

The 38-year-old Allenby, who only entered the tournament on a sponsor invite three weeks ago after Vijay Singh withdrew because of a knee injury, finished with a 14-under 270 total on the Hyatt Regency resort course.

Senden closed with a

67, and Strange shot a 69. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a lot of great players behind me, and I never knew what they were going to do,â&#x20AC;? Allenby said as he walked up the 18th fairway with the victory secured. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you start with the lead, all you have to do is to hold it and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything stupid. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had my emotions intact all day.â&#x20AC;?

Akronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ben Speas (17) and Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jonathan Villanueva (10) battle for the ball during the NCAA menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer championship match Sunday in Cary. Virginia won 3-2 on penalty kicks.

Virginia claims soccer title on penalty kicks CARY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Virginia beat Akron 3-2 on penalty kicks after a scoreless game to win the NCAA Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College Cup on Sunday.

The Cavaliers won the championship when Blair Gavin, who made the clinching penalty kick to help Akron eliminate North Carolina in Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semifinals, sent the final shot high over the crossbar.

The second-seeded Cavaliers (19-3-3) claimed their sixth College Cup championship and first since they won four straight national titles from 1991-94.

Virginia led 3-1 after three rounds of penalty kicks after Akronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zarek

Valentin and Kofi Sarkodie failed to convert.

Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jonathan Villanueva and Greg Monaco each had a chance to clinch the title, but Akron goalkeeper David Meves saved both shots.

That set the stage for Gavin, who had been 5for-5 on penalty kicks this season.

The top-seeded Zips (231-1), making their second College Cup appearance, came up short in their bid to win their schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first NCAA team championship in any sport. This trip to the final four ended the same as their last one â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a loss to an ACC opponent. Duke beat Akron 1-0 in the 1986 final.

Akronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against North Carolina in the semifinals went down as a tie for both teams because it went to penalty kicks. But the NCAA makes an exception to the rule when the championship game goes to penalty kicks, declaring a winner and a loser.

The result ended Akronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unbeaten streak at 24 games, even though the Zips did not allow a goal in the NCAA tournament.

The Cavaliers, playing in their first College Cup final since 1997, finished the season with a 16-game unbeaten streak. They recorded shutouts in 12 of their final 13 matches.

Gay scores 41 as Grizzlies enjoy rare rout on road THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rudy Gay scored a careerhigh 41 points, Marc Gasol made all seven of his shots on the way to a 16-point, 15-rebound effort, and the Memphis Grizzlies enjoyed a rare road blowout by beating Miami Heat 118-90 on Sunday night.

Gay made 15 of 28 shots, topping his previous career best by five points, and became just the fourth player since

January 2007 to score at least 40 against Miami in a regular-season game. Jamal Crawford (40) did so on Dec. 1, 2008, while LeBron James (42) and Ben Gordon (43) each accomplished the feat last March.

Memphis also got 16 points from O.J. Mayo and 13 from Zach Randolph.

Dwyane Wade scored 25 points for Miami.

Devin Harris, who started despite a sprained left pinky finger, scored 23 points for the Nets, who allowed a season high in points in their third consecutive loss â&#x20AC;&#x201D; dropping the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst record to 2-22.

Ferrari expects Massa to drive F1 car soon MARANELLO, Italy (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Felipe Massaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to racing continued on Sunday when Ferrari said the Brazilian driver will get behind the wheel of a Formula One car in

Massa, who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raced since sustaining life-threatening injuries in a crash at the Hungarian Grand Prix in July, will drive an F2007

The Italian team says Massa wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive until at least Tuesday due to the unsettled weather in the area.

White House: Jobs are key focus, deficit comes next WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief economic advisers said Sunday that putting Americans back to work is the first order of business in working the country out of the deepest economic downturn in six decades.

Only then can they start tackling the soaring federal debt.

At the same time, Christina Romer, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said she would not consider the recession truly at an end until employment returns to levels last seen at the end of 2007 when the recession began.

Her view was technically at odds with that of Lawrence Summers, director of the White House National Economic Council, who said third quarter growth of the gross domestic product â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the measure of economic activity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; marked a statistical end to the recession.

But the pair did agree with forecasts that the economy would begin producing more jobs in the spring, a trend that could lower the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jobless rate from 10 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that, as do most professional forecasters, that by spring, employment growth will start to be turning positive,â&#x20AC;? Summers said.

Romer agreed but cautioned that the upward trend could be hit by poor showings in some months as those who had given up looking for work re-enter the labor market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would anticipate some bumps in the road as we go ahead,â&#x20AC;? Romer said.

The administration took heart when the November jobs report showed only 11,000 people joined the unemployment rolls. That figure had been as high as 700,000 in January, when Obama took office.

Now weekend â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and then sticking to them, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the consumerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turn,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every reholding out for good deals that analysts tailer will pick a different day this week to deepen the discounts.

He expects shoppers to spend marginally end are clear improvements for retailers from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dismal season, many are more than last year. Electronics and coldweather clothing like sweaters and scarves still taking a wait-and-see approach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m playing chicken with retailers, are among the most popular sellers.

Retailers have cut down on inventory still, until next weekend,â&#x20AC;? said Matt Schuld, a shopper at a Target in Port- all year and planned holiday sales well

in advance this year. BMO Capital Markets analyst John Morris, who tracks the amount and the depth of sales through his â&#x20AC;&#x153;sale rack indexâ&#x20AC;? said the index was up 8 percent this year but said it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accelerating like last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still not seeing retailers hit the panic button,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still relatively controlled.â&#x20AC;?

Grappling with the weak economy and high unemployment, consumers have been skittish on spending this year. But there are signs that is improving. The Commerce Department reported Friday sales rose 1.3 percent last month, after a 1.1 percent October gain, the healthiest advance since August and more than double the increase economists had expected.

Traders await Fedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assessment CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Investors expect the Federal Reserve to keep a key interest rate at a historic low level. Why? Because Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said so. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The market has listened to him and really believes what Bernanke has said,â&#x20AC;? said Daniel Penrod, senior industry analyst at the California Credit Union League.

Last week, Bernanke said that he anticipates modest economic growth next year. That should push down unemployment, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but at a pace

slower than we would like,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The message for investors: No rate hikes for now.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough assurance for investors to hold on to for the moment, but everyone knows that the record-low interest rates are going to have to go away at some point as the economy recovers. The only question is when.

Meanwhile a weaker dollar is a boon to big U.S. exporters by making their goods cheaper to overseas buyers. At the same time, the profits those companies earn overseas are

worth more when they bring them home if the U.S. dollar is weak.

For the next clues about what the Fed might do with interest rates, investors will pore over every word the Fed says in its statement assessing economic conditions next week. The statement will accompany its decision on interest rates following a two-day policy meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank in Chicago, says market participants will parse

the comments closely for any nuances or changes in hopes of fine-tuning their outlook on when the inevitable interest rate rise might come.

But not every analyst waits with baited breath to see what the Fed says about the economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mouthful of mush,â&#x20AC;? says John Lekas, president of Leader Capital in Portland, Ore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They actually go out of their way to say nothing.â&#x20AC;?

Whatever the Fed winds up doing, most people are already expecting the Fed to indicate a slight improvement in the economy.

California rains ending; no major mudslides reported LOS ANGELES (AP) – Heavy rain tapered off, skies cleared and residents of the Los Angeles area foothills started returning home Sunday, a day after they fled because of fears that heavy rains would cause mudslides.

Public works and fire department officials drove through the wildfire-scarred neighborhoods early Sunday and determined that it was

safe for the residents of the 44 evacuated homes in the La Crescenta, La Canada-Flintridge and Big Tujunga Canyon areas to return, said Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Lillian Peck.

Fifteen patrol vehicles continued to make rounds in burn areas Sunday, scanning the hillsides for potential mudslides, said the Los Angeles Fire

Department’s Brian Humphrey.

“We’ve been planning for these winter storms since summer, since before the wildfires, coordinating with other agencies,” said Humphrey.

“We’re confident that our preparedness really paid off.”

Foothill areas below the burned sections of the Angeles National Forest had been bar-

ricaded with sandbags and concrete barriers.

Ground in recently burned areas has little ability to absorb rain, and the instant runoff during heavy rains can carry with it ash, mud, boulders and vegetation.

Mudslides and debris closed parts of a 12-mile stretch of the Angeles Crest Highway just north of Los Angeles, leaving 90 vehicles stranded for a time. No injuries were reported. The road remained closed Sunday.

Several small slides

were reported on the highway between La Canada Flintridge and Mount Wilson.

Forecasters said some rain lingered Sunday along the Central Coast but most of the state would see dry weather through midweek.
