Former hosiery mill, showroom buildings to house county offices DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – What once was a downtown furniture showroom will reopen this spring as a new home for several Guilford County agencies. Developer C. Wayne McDonald is renovating Centennial Center, the building he opened in 2005 in the former Amos Hosiery Mill, for offices. The former mill buildings were built in 1916, according to county property reports. With oak wood floors and brick walls, county officials and McDonald agree the building offers something special for government offices. The project is on schedule and on budget, McDonald said. “You just don’t see this kind of character anymore in buildings like this,” McDonald said during a recent building tour. “It is exciting to see this come together. My vision is always where the old meets the new. I like to see these buildings take a whole new life and become an important part of High Point again.” During the winter, workers will install new mechanical equipment and

Other buildings to get makeovers BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – Other buildings in the downtown Guilford County government campus will get a fresh look in the coming months. The courthouse building will get a $468,626 renovation as county administrative offices move to the Centennial Center building. The plan is included in a $30 million budget in the county’s capital investment plan, which directs money to major projects. The money comes from bond proceeds and other construction funds. Money for the High Point courthouse renovation was left over from a $5.1 million new Greensboro courthouse upgrade project. After the moves, there will be more space

Moves: Tax department, elections and register of deeds offices will move to the Centennial Center building. for office expansions and meeting rooms. “We may have enough space to provide a meeting room for commissioners,” said David Grantham, county property management director, “and we may need a little more money to do it. We are looking at that.” Another goal is easier access for regular people who need to do business with the register of deeds or to vote. People have complained for years about the security searches required for entering the High Point courthouse.
The High Point county government campus also is included in an energy-savings plan. The courthouse, jail and public health department offices are part of a plan aimed at cutting energy use by 20 percent by 2015 and 30 percent by 2020 per gross square foot of building space. The plan includes at least one solar project by 2012. Recycling would increase by 100 percent by 2012. Many of the projects could be funded by a possible $200,000 state grant. A preliminary audit released last year showed the county could save 50 percent on the annual electric light bill just by using more efficient lighting. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Cumberland first in state to get student tip line MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
FAYETTEVILLE – Cumberland County officials signed up for a nationwide student-crime tip line Friday, days after a 7-year-old took a loaded handgun to school. It’s not that the county is plagued by school violence, Superintendent Frank Till Jr. said. “Sometimes, when you have these kinds of conversations, people think you’re in crisis,” Till said at a news conference, flanked by Sheriff Moose Butler, state school Superintendent June Atkinson and other dignitaries. “We’re not in crisis. In
fact, we have one of the safest records for school safety.” In 2008, Cumberland County had the secondlowest rate of on-campus homicides, assaults, kidnappings, robberies and sex crimes per 1,000 high school students among the six North Carolina counties with 14,000 or more high school students, state figures show. Nevertheless, the county will be the first in the state to participate in the national hotline program called Speak Up, Atkinson said.

TRIAD – Unless people hold jobs that require them to brave the elements, weather forecasters and authorities – from Gov. Beverly Perdue to local police officers – are advising folks to stay in today as brutal cold follows the snow and sleet from Friday night and Saturday. Road conditions will be treacherous this morning because little if any of the snow and ice would have melted Saturday when the high temperature didn’t push out of the 20s, said Phil Badgett, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Raleigh. Noticeable melting of snow and ice may not begin until Monday, Badgett said. “But even then it’s going to refreeze at night. It’s probably going to be a process of three or four days of melting at

ald. The deal kills previous plans to build a new $6.8 million structure at the county government plaza. The new project price is $7.4 million. Republican Commissioner Steve Arnold of High Point, a builder and contractor, did not vote on the project because McDonald is a former business partner. “I like what I see,” said Democratic Commissioner Bruce Davis of High Point. “It is starting to shape up. Mr. McDonald has always been able to articulate a vision, and I am starting to see it come into play.” DSS Director Robert Williams earlier said he likes the project.

Southeastern US stares down icy, snowy weekend NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – A thick band of heavy snow, freezing rain and cold temperatures was spreading across southeastern states early Saturday, delivering a messy weekend of slick roads, power outages and prime sledding for kids out of school. Nearly a foot of snow had fallen in parts of western North Carolina, and nearly 10 inches had fallen in some areas north of Memphis, Tenn. In Nashville, about a half-foot of snow was on the ground, the National Weather Service reported. Mark Rose, a forecaster with the weather service’s Nashville office, called it “a major winter storm for this part of the country – heck, for any part of it.� Few cars were on the roads Saturday morning in that city, and most people seemed to be hunkered down indoors. The storm left roads icy and snowpacked across the South, and thousands were without power as ice accumulated.
In mountainous western North Carolina, I-26 near Asheville and I-40 near Black Mountain were shut down Friday night after snow and icy roads caused multiple wrecks. Duke Energy reported more than 14,000 customers without power Saturday morning in North Carolina, mostly concentrated in the western part of the state. Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen declared a state of emergency and state workers were sent home around lunch Friday ahead of the worsening weather. Many businesses followed suit. States of emergency were also declared in Arkansas and parts of Virginia. In western Kentucky, shoppers at the Murray Home & Auto store snatched up every available sled in anticipation of a heavy snow on Friday, said store manager Chris Burgess. Others grabbed shovels, kerosene heaters and chain saws, mindful of another winter storm a year ago that caused widespread power outages in the region.

NATO airstrike kills 4 Afghan soldiers in mix-up KABUL (AP) – A joint U.S.-Afghan force clashed with Afghan troops manning a snow-covered outpost and called in an airstrike early Saturday, killing four Afghan soldiers, U.S. and Afghan officials said. Both sides called the clash a case of mistaken identity. Afghanistan’s Defense Ministry condemned the killings in the eastern Wardak province and de-
manded punishment for those responsible. NATO called the deaths “regrettable� and announced an investigation. The deaths are likely to strain relations between NATO and Afghan forces at a time both are calling for a closer partnership in the fight against the Taliban. Underscoring those tensions, an Afghan interpreter killed two U.S.
service members Friday at a combat outpost elsewhere in Wardak province, a NATO official said. A U.S. soldier then killed the interpreter, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to release the information. It wasn’t clear why the interpreter had opened fire on the Americans.

Pakistan men attend to a relative who was injured in a suicide bombing in Bajur tribal region at a local hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan, Saturday.
25 dead from bomb, US missile in Pakistan KHAR, Pakistan (AP) – A suicide bomber killed 16 people Saturday at a police checkpoint in a northwest Pakistani tribal area where the military declared victory over the Taliban and al-Qaida last year, highlighting the difficulty Islamabad has in holding regions once the battle phase of its army offensives end. Elsewhere in the lawless tribal belt bordering Afghanistan, suspected U.S. missiles killed nine alleged militants, intelligence officials said. Fourteen civilians and
two police officers died in the suicide attack in the Bajur tribal region, while 20 people were wounded, local government official Bakhat Pacha said. The attacker, on foot, struck a market area in the region’s main town, Khar, he said. Some of the wounded were in critical condition at hospitals, he said. The attack came a day after officials said security forces had killed 44 militants in three days of battles on the outskirts of Khar. Pakistan waged a major military offensive against
Taliban and al-Qaida insurgents in Bajur in 2008, declaring victory over the militants by February 2009. But in recent weeks, clashes and now this latest suicide attack have signaled a deteriorating security situation in the area. The violence comes as Pakistan’s army has focused on an offensive in South Waziristan tribal region, the primary stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban. That military operation is believed to have led many militants to flee to other parts of the tribal belt.

Protest held in Tokyo against US military TOKYO – Thousands of protesters from across Japan marched Saturday in central Tokyo to protest the U.S. military presence on Okinawa, while a Cabinet minister said she would fight to move a Marine base Washington considers crucial out of the country. Some 47,000 U.S. troops are stationed in Japan, with more than half on the southern island of Okinawa. Residents have complained for years about noise, pollution and crime around the bases.
Sheik threatens voter boycott over balloting RAMADI, Iraq – A prominent sheik and U.S. ally is weighing whether to urge fellow Sunnis to boycott upcoming elections in protest of the government’s ballot purge of hundreds of candidates suspected of links to Saddam Hussein’s regime. Such a call by Ahmed Abu Risha risks derailing Obama administration hopes that the March 7 parliamentary elections will bring stronger reconciliation between Iraq’s majority Shiites and minority Sunnis who want to reclaim more political power.

China suspends military deals with US

BEIJING (AP) – China suspended military exchanges with the United States, threatened unprecedented sanctions against American defense companies and warned Saturday that cooperation would suffer after Washington announced $6.4 billion in planned arms sales to Taiwan. The response to Friday’s U.S. announcement, while not entirely unexpected, was swift and indicated that China plans to put up a greater challenge than usual as it deals with the most sensitive topic in U.S.-China relations. “This is the strongest reaction we’ve seen so far in recent years,� said Stephanie T. Kleine-Ahlbrandt, northeast Asia project director for the International Crisis Group. “China is really looking to see what kind of reaction it’s going to receive from Obama on this.�

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – A lack of sanitation threatens to create killer diseases in the vast refugee camps where hundreds of thousands of earthquake survivors have crammed in together, relief officials said Saturday. The need for latrines has joined food, water and shelter as a major concern. Just one portable toilet serves about 2,000 people in a sprawling camp across from the collapsed National Palace. Most use a gutter next to where vendors cook food and mothers struggle to bathe their children. “We wash the vegetables first from water brought in by trucks, but a lot of times the water isn’t clean,� said Marie Marthe, 45, cooking a large pot of collard greens,

Lightning grounds plane in Alabama MONTGOMERY, Ala. – An airport official says a U.S. Airways flight was struck by lightning on its way to Florida, forcing the plane and its passengers to divert to Alabama. Montgomery Regional Airport spokeswoman Lynn Cox said Saturday that the flight was grounded after 9:30 p.m. Friday in Montgomery, where the passengers had been given overnight accommodations. Cox says a replacement plane had not arrived Saturday. She says some passengers arranged rental cars to continue on to Pensacola.
NYC fire in immigrant housing kills at least 5 NEW YORK – Fire engulfed a building housing Guatemalan immigrants in Brooklyn on Saturday, collapsing part of the roof, trapping residents and killing at least five people, authorities said. Four people in the building were injured, including an infant who was tossed out the window by a woman frantically trying to save them. The infant was in critical condition with a fractured skull after bystanders below failed to catch him, officials and witnesses said. The other child landed on an awning.
Worker dies after fall from NJ bridge JERSEY CITY, N.J. – A bridge worker who fell about 50 feet into the frigid Hackensack River has died from his injuries. Jersey City police say 55-year-old Robert Fitzgerald of North Arlington was working for the CSX rail line when he fell from the Wittpenn Bridge around 4:30 a.m. Friday. Fitzgerald made his way to some pilings but lost consciousness due to hypothermia, police said. Emergency service workers soon hoisted him to the bridge in a basket and took him to Jersey City Medical Center, where he died several hours later.

Critics fear foreign influence in US elections WASHINGTON (AP) – The Supreme Court’s decision on campaign finance has jumbled a seemingly simple rule of American politics – foreigners should play no role in U.S. elections. President Barack Obama and other critics say the court’s decision to let corporations spend
their money to directly influence elections opened the floodgates to foreign involvement. In last week’s address to Congress and the nation, Obama asserted that the court had allowed special interests, “including foreign corporations, to spend without limit on our elections.�

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama said Saturday that trimming U.S. budget deficits is as important as creating jobs, his top Obama domestic priority this year. The government reported Friday the economy grew at an annual rate of 5.7 percent in the final three months of 2009. “A sign of progress,� Obama said in his weekly address. “But as we work to create jobs, it is critical that we rein in the budget deficits we’ve been accumulating for far too long.� Hammered by Republicans for billions of dollars in spending, Obama outlined steps he said would rein in spending. They include rules requiring that spending or tax cuts be offset by cuts to other programs or tax increases and a freeze on most discretionary spending.

Obama seeks $200 million to help cities host 9/11 trials WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration is proposing a $200 million fund to help pay for security costs in cities hosting the trials of accused terrorists such as Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. A congressional aide familiar with the plan says the money will be included in the president’s budget being released Monday. The aide spoke on condition of anonymity because the spending blueprint hasn’t been announced.
The administration said late last year the trials would take place Mohammed in federal court in lower Manhattan, near where the World Trade Center once stood. But there’s growing opposition from the city, and it now seems likely that the White House will decide to hold the trial elsewhere. Mayor Michael Bloomberg has put the cost of
tighter security at $216 million just for the first year after Mohammed and the others were to arrive from the U.S. military detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The money for terrorist trials is just one piece of a $3.7 trillion or so budget plan for 2011 to be released Monday. Options for alternative trial sites include the northern Virginia city of Alexandria, which hosted the 2006 sentencing trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, who pled guilty to helping plan the 9/11 attacks.

He departed 35

LOS ANGELES (AP) – From parties to rehearsals to gift suites, Grammy-related activities were taking over L.A.’s weekend scene in advance of tonight’s awards show at Staples Center. It was back-to-back star power at Friday’s Grammy rehearsals. Dave Matthews, Maxwell, Green Day, Black Eyed Peas, Taylor Swift, Sheryl Crow, Stevie Nicks, Mary J. Blige, Andrea Bocelli, Drake, Eminem and Lil Wayne were all scheduled to run through their num-
bers for tonight’s awards ceremony. But it wasn’t all song and Swift dance at the Staples Center sessions. Sandwiched in between the musical acts in the lineup was Recording Academy President and CEO Neil Portnow, who was polishing his own pitch – his usual institutional remarks to the Grammy audience. More than 30 artists are set to perform on the
three and a half-hour televised ceremony, with only nine of the Grammys’ 109 categories to be presented on the CBS show. Grammy nominee Anthony Hamilton was in celebration mode even before tonight’s show – he turned 39 this week. And to celebrate, Nike’s Jordan Brand threw the R&B crooner a party at the swank restaurant Phillipe in Beverly Hills, with a guest list that included Common, actress Victoria Rowell, DJ Beverly Bond and MC Lyte.

Strong in spirit Teens battle genetic bone disorder BY MELODY HENNESSEE SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE
HIGH POINT — Sasa Oo sits in a chair swinging her legs like a teen on a Ferris wheel. Her plaid Converse shoes dangle in front of her, the constant reminder of a newly given gift - her ability to walk. A few months ago, the 17-year-old beauty, who wears pink as often as she can, walked on padded knees with her legs permanently angled behind her - the result of a lifelong battle with Osteogenesis imperfecta, a condition known as “brittle bone disease.” Between 25,000 and 50,000 Americans are born with this disorder, which ranges widely in severity and is characterized by fragile bones that break easily. Sasa Oo’s mother Ma Aye Kyi (pronounced Ma Ah Jhee) has no idea how many people from her native Burma are affected by the disease. She knew of no one else who had the disorder in the Thailand Mae La Refugee Camp where she and her family lived for 23 years - except her daughter and then, later, her youngest son, Tha Way. Thinking back, Ma Aye Kyi recalls the first time she suspected a problem. Her oldest child, Toe Way was a robust and active 4year-old, while her second child, Sasa Oo was just learning to walk at 20 months old. She fell - like so many toddlers do - but instead of a skinned knee or small cut, she experienced a broken leg. With doctors and medicine scarce, Ma Aye Kyi tried a home remedy using a special kind of ointment she calls “magic oil.” She wrapped the leg and splinted it with strong bamboo
sticks. In no time, the young child was walking again. Then she was running. She progressed almost normally for about five years, her mother said. Sasa Oo does not remember those days. She does not remember what it feels like to run. As she grew, the breaks would happen again and again with very little trauma. What would bring about a bruise or a scrape in the average child would result in a broken bone for Sasa Oo. Her mother remembers at least 10 different times when the child suffered broken bones. Each time, the child’s legs would curve backward a little more severely. Each time, it broke her mother’s heart. For Tha Way, it was even worse. To her sorrow, Ma Aye Kyi’s youngest son began showing the same frailty. As the young mother began encouraging her 14-monthold son to crawl and stand on wobbly legs, he fell and broke a bone. “It sounded like a CLICK,” she said, and she knew. The panic rose in her as she realized that Tha Way faced the same fate as his older sister. Ma Aye Kyi’s youngest child never took his first steps. With a tangle of limbs veering in uncomfortable directions, this 14-year-old youth dreams of walking one day - and can not fathom kicking a soccer ball or playing catch. Shortly before her son broke his first bone, the young mother — with her children then ages 1, 3 and 6 — became a widow. It’s a loss she does not like to talk about. Feeling alone in an overcrowded, inadequate and harsh place, Ma Aye Kyi learned to be strong. She did her best to care for her children, to protect them from harm and to provide for them. So, it hurt her feelings when other children would stare and pepper them with questions. It tormented her when others would whisper about her family and question whether she was a good mother. It especially hurt when they insinuated that perhaps her children were mal-

William Gailey HIGH POINT – Mr. William (Bill) “Honey” Allen Gailey, 75, resident of 1404 Darden St. died January 26th, 2010 at Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home in WinstonSalem. Mr. Gailey was born March 12th, 1934 in Randolph County, a son to Grover Sylvester and Maggie Bell Gailey. He was a veteran of the U.S. Army and retired from Pilot Freight Carriers in Kernersville. His hobbies were fishing, gardening and antique cars but most of all he loved to share a smile and talk to people about the Lord. He and his wife Barbara were married on March 28th, 1956, sharing 53 years of marriage. Definitely a match made in heaven, they weathered the good times as well as the bad times, and continued to keep their faith strong while trusting in the Lord to lead, guide and direct them as each chapter of their life unfolded. They worked as a team, sharing the love of Jesus Christ through their music ministry in nursing homes, churches and outdoor events worldwide. All of the ladies called them Barbara and Honey. They said if Barbara called him Honey they wanted to call him Honey too. In addition to family gatherings, he enjoyed the traditional Gailey brunswick stew and Mom’s famous chocolate peanut butter cookies. His charm, humor, faith, hope and unconditional love will live in our hearts forever. Farewell to a wonderful husband, daddy, poppi and great poppi until we meet again in heaven.

Smith.\ In addition to his wife, Barbara he is survived by three children, William Allen Gailey III, Jeffrey Scott Gailey and Teresa G.

He was 82 and had been battling cancer. Nirenberg, who spent his entire career at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., and was the first government employee to win a Nobel Prize, was “one of science’s great titans,” NIH Director Francis S. Collins said. Nirenberg was an outsider who was not considered among science’s elite when he began his career in the 1950s in what has often been called the golden age of molecular biology. Researchers were just beginning to understand the role and function of DNA necessary for life.

Playwright-turned-director keeps low-key set list. Hooray for Hollywood ... oops, I mean High Point! I had a number of questions I wanted to ask Simpson. First, it is quite unusual (even in Hollywood) that a playwright is given the opportunity not only to write the screenplay but also to direct his own work. This is a huge coup and certainly the investors (the largest one remains anonymous) have a tremendous faith in Simpson. Quite modestly, Simpson immediately turned the spotlight on other people, including the hard work of his friend Wells and especially how the community of High Point welcomed “Elephant Sighs,� which helped to make the most of the limited budget. “The one thing that I will really remember about this production is all of the laughter,� Simpson told me.

Media would like to produce. Although a release date for the feature film is unknown, Simpson and Wells both told me that the premiere would be in High Point (HPU ... are you interested?) and that Ed Asner said that he would love to come to the premiere. So perhaps I will get the opportunity to meet Ed Asner after all! Please keep my friend Marsha Slane in your thoughts and prayers. She recently discovered that she has lung cancer and is now undergoing grueling chemotherapy to be followed by surgery. Both Marsha and Jack initially were shocked by this diagnosis discovered as Marsha went to the doctor to check out a persistent cough just to make sure she wouldn’t be contagious to her 15-month-old granddaughter Lola. As you know, Marsha serves as the chairman of the board of trustees for HPU. Her commitment to philanthropy and for the love of High Point, High Pointers and their families has become the mission of her life’s work. Even facing such a challenge, Marsha and Jack are very optimistic, yet her road will be difficult. Marsha told me, “I am confident that I am in God’s hands to deal with whatever may come. Please keep me and my family in your hearts.� So High Pointers ... let’s all get praying and show Marsha that we love her just as much as she loves us!

efore you even ask, I will answer. That answer is “yes,� I was somewhat disappointed that I did not meet seven-time award winning actor Ed Asner when I recently visited the High Point movie set of “Elephant Sighs.� Admittedly, I was a fanatic of the “Mary Tyler Moore Show� of the 1970s in which Asner played the tough editor Lou Grant, a role he reprised in the acclaimed drama series, “Lou Grant.� I had a Mary Tyler Moore hairdo and looked forward every week as MTM would utter, “Oh Mrrr. Grrrant!� That would melt “Mrrr. Grrrant every time.� Enough of that. Let me tell you about another Ed. That Ed would be Ed Simpson, High Point University Professor who serves as producer, writer and director of “Elephant Sighs.� I had the opportunity to chat with Simpson in between scenes while he was shooting “Elephant Sighs� in High Point. It was the third and final week of filming mostly taking place in a warehouse in south High Point. I was escorted onto the closed set by David Wells, whose friendship with Simpson harkens to the days when they both were drama students at University of North Carolina at Greensboro in the 1970s. It was Wells who was primarily responsible in securing the financing for the film. He is also one of the producers in addition to being one of the key characters in the film. As we chatted in the “green room� just outside the set, both Wells and I talked in “hushed� tones until we heard Simpson yell “cut.� That meant we could quickly enter the film “set.� Although this was the first time that I met Simpson (I had seen pictures), I quickly spotted him donned in his HPU

Pope urges church to focus on saving marriages
AP
Pope Benedict XVI delivers his blessing at the end of a Vespers ceremony in St. Paul Outside the Walls’ Basilica in Rome. The pope has asked churches to work harder in urging couples to stay together in marriage.
VATICAN CITY (AP) – Pope Benedict XVI has urged church tribunals to work harder to encourage couples to stay married and not resort to granting annulments “at all costs.� An annulment is the process by which the church effectively declares that a marriage never took place. Many Catholics seek them so they can remarry in the church and receive Communion. Benedict told members of the Roman Rota, the Vatican tribunal that decides marriage annulments, that they
shouldn’t confuse “pastoral charity� in granting annulments with their need to uphold church law.
The Vatican’s concern largely is directed at the United States. The Vatican’s concern largely is directed at the United States, which in 2006 had more annulment cases launched than the rest of the world combined.

LEONARD PITTS: Andre Bauer has warped image of the poor. TOMORROW

Massachusetts voters sent message to Washington The stunning Senate victory by Scott Brown is sending a very strong message to Washington. Americans are extremely upset and want their country back. Over 2.2 million Massachusetts voters from the most liberal Democrat state spoke loudly and voted a big no confidence in Congress and President Obama. Massachusetts voters expressed their dislike of Obamacare, the economy, bailouts, big government, spending, taxes, sleazy back-room deals and all the attacks on private sectors. Voters also felt that this administration is soft on terrorists and are tired of all the anti-Bush rhetoric for the past year. Trust in public officials is at an all-time low and many Americans don’t like the direction this administration is taking the country. Congress needs to listen to the American people rather than completely shut us out. The much maligned tea parties and town hall meetings were the first indication that exposed the degree of anger and dissatisfaction by Americans with Congress and this president. Past administrations also failed to do many things right, especially with excessive spending. Massachusetts voters also strongly opposed the radical agenda which is being pushed by
We will not tolerate one more lie. We will not tolerate one more broken promise. We want them to stand for, support and fight for all the things they promised. They should start now or pack their bags because they are the next ones who will be losing their elected jobs. THEODORE ZIOLKOWSKI Kernersville

New runway signals progress
T
hese are exciting times for North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad region. • Randleman Lake is complete; it will be open to recreational activities this spring. In the not-too-distant future, the water treatment plant and water lines will be complete and water will be flowing toward High Point, Greensboro and other jurisdictions that are partners in the endeavor that culminates plans begun 75 years ago. • The U.S. 311 Bypass, for which initial planning was done decades ago (now is part of the Interstate 74 corridor through the central Piedmont) is progressing a little ahead of schedule toward its connection with U.S. 220 in central Randolph County. • And Wednesday, a third runway – built to accommodate the FedEx hub that began operation in June 2009, but something that was “on the books” more than 30 years ago – went into use. While it was part of the plan to recruit FedEx’s latest national cargo hub in 1998, the newly operational $150 million, 9,000-foot runway is open to all aviation traffic. In addition, it gives, as Piedmont Triad Airport Authority Chairman Henry Isaacson says, the region a competitive edge for economic growth. The third runway was proposed in 1968 and was to be 4,000 feet long for use by small (mostly private) aircraft. However, it wasn’t built, according to a group that opposed the current third runway, because it was deemed unnecessary because of low usage on existing runways – never over 42 percent of capacity. All that could change, however, when business at the FedEx hub, stunted by the recession, picks up and air cargo traffic increases to 126 flights between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. daily. Of course, noise abatement efforts must continue in preparation for that day, so as to try to minimize the impact of those flights on residential areas near the airport. We continue to look forward to FedEx employing the 1,500 full-and part-time workers that was a key factor in plans to recruit the air cargo company. Meanwhile, we are grateful for the companies that already have located or relocated here because of the proximity to the FedEx hub. Despite setbacks such as Dell leaving the Triad, progress is still being made here and all of us in the Piedmont Triad region should continue focusing on how to make this area a better one for our families.

setts. Let me break it down into the simplest language I can. “We the people” are tired of all politicians who run on a party platform, make promises and lead us to believe that they will represent the best interests of every person who voted for them. Then once elected, they forget everything that they told us they stood for and everything they promised they would do for “we the people.” So, either they do their job of representing “we the people” or we will vote them all out of office and try the next group of liars. We will not tolerate for one more election the selling of their vote to the highest bidding lobbyists.
This is so terribly sad, but true. The Roberts court has a majority of politically slanted and constitutionally-blind judges. The country cannot afford another multiple-decade dominance by these men. TESSA WILSON Winston-Salem

A little humor helps us provide something for all
M
any of you know that, because a number of organizations desperately need a speaker for their first meeting of the year, I give a review of the past year and a forecast to about 10 groups at the beginning of each new year. As you might imagine, I try to squirrel away, all during the year, tidbits of information – some historical, some intriguing, some bizarre, some jokes (many passed along to me by architect John Anderson, moving company boss Bart Lassiter and former newspaper executive Gary B. Moore) – that I can use in the speech. To break up the monotony of the review, which among others things includes the top 10 stories of the year from across the nation and around the globe, the top five local stories, a fairly thorough sports roundup, a short list (perhaps three dozen) of famous (or infamous) people who died along with names of a score of local people who passed, facts an figures and names and situations that made the biggest fuss in entertainment, etc., I sprinkle bits of humor throughout. I wind up with a recap of the forecast for the past year and how well several of my colleagues in The High Point Enterprise newsroom and I did (73.3 percent correct in 2009, 69.4 percent correct over 18 years) and close (between jokes) with the forecast for the new year. In the 1990s, I often read some headlines – similar to those Jay Leno used to show you and read on the Tonight Show (his first time around) – culled from newspapers around the world. Examples: “Something went wrong in jet crash, expert says,” “Teacher strikes idle kids,” “Red tape holds up new bridges,” “Man struck by lightning faces battery charge” and “Kids make nutritious snacks.” And, people who heard the speeches would send me more headlines gone astray. Trouble is, most of those they sent me were retreads – ones I had read in previous years. Last week, I was pleasantly surprised by a stack of copied clips sent by David C. Ogren, former vice president for LADD Furniture Inc. who still is involved in the industry and teaching Junior Achievement programs in schools in High Point. Ogren also is a member of the Enterprise’s current Readership Committee. In his e-mail message, he noted, “All the HPE exposure reminds me of my high school days cleaning a flat bed Goss press in the pit, plus being a photographer, plus sweeping up Linotype rejects, plus delivering proofs to retailers, etc., and dating the publisher’s daughter – all for a successful Chicago suburban weekly.” He found assignments while working for The Daily Iowan while in college “glamorous
compared to those younger days.” He had received the bunch of what he called “newspaper quirks” from Arnold A. Axelberg. These weren’t retreads for me so I’ll share some of them with you. OPINION • Ad: “Get 50% off or half price, whichever is less.” Tom • Headline: “Statistics Blount show that teen pregnancy ■■■ drops off significantly after age 25” • Headline: “One-armed man applauds the kindness of strangers” • Headline: “County to pay $250,000 to advertise lack of funds” • Headline: “Federal agents raid gun shop, find weapons” • Police report: “The Learning Center on Hanson Street reports a man across the way stands at his window for hours watching the center; making parents nervous. Police ID the subject as a cardboard cutout of Arnold Schwarzenegger.” • Classified ad: “Tombstone: Standard gray. A good buy for someone named Grady.” • Part of a story: “Deborah Jackson said she likes shopping at the Dollar Palace because it is convenient and casual. ‘I don’t have to get all dressed up like I’m going to Wal-Mart or something,’ she said.” • Police report: “Sonora – A man came to the Sheriff’s Department to ‘find out how to legally kill’ a person who was harassing him.” • Crime report: “Police checked the area and found an open door in the back of the building. An officer went inside and called out, ‘Marco.’ The man’s name was not Marco, detective Tim Dohr said. Instead, ‘the officer was trying to inject some humor into the situation.’ Police found the suspect after he responded, ‘Polo.’ ” I hope those reports brightened your day and that you won’t find any similarly quirky ads, headlines or crime reports in today’s edition of the Enterprise. The Enterprise staff – news, advertising, circulation and business office – hates to make mistakes. When we do, we try quickly to correct them and to find out how to prevent the mistakes from recurring. Like Ogren, I can’t help but recall days at another newspaper long ago. At least once, an editor responded to a caller who admitted, as a former English teacher, that she read the paper thoroughly every day looking for mistakes, with, “Well, ma’am, we try to print something for everyone.”

America The power is shifting in North Carolina stays in V the center M
-A-S-S-A-C-H-U-S-E-T-T-S There’s no “too” in Massachusetts. Apparently, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi thinks there is. Or maybe it was the shock of the Democrats losing their filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Maybe it was the shock of a Republican taking over the Senate seat that was held by the late Sen. Edward Kennedy for almost 47 years. Or maybe Pelosi was so focused on her progressive agenda that she forgot how to pronounce Massachusetts as she tried to proclaim “all is well.” “The president’s agenda is one that we will continue to push forward … heeding the particular concerns of the voters of Massa-too-setts last night. We heard; we will heed; we will move forward with their considerations in mind, but we will move forward.” Translation: Pelosi intends to ignore the voters of Massa-chusetts just as she has long ignored the will of most Americans. Mention the name Dan Quayle and the word potato and you’re sure to get a smirk OPINION from most Democrats. Almost 18 Mike years ago, the Hughes vice president had ■■■ an unfortunate incident while attending a spelling bee at an elementary school. To this day, just about everyone knows the story, that is, the liberal version of the story. After all this time, I’ve just now learned that Quayle was holding the spelling bee answer sheet. The word potato was misspelled on the answer sheet. Quayle did what most people would have done – he believed the answer sheet. But instead of questioning why the spelling teacher at this public school misspelled a word on the answer sheet, liberals did what they always do – they dishonestly smeared their political opponent. In a political ad attacking senator-elect Scott Brown, the wizards of the Massachusetts Democratic Party misspelled the name of their own state by adding an extra “e” after the second “t,” much the same way that an “e” was added to the end of potato. But of course, 17 years from now nobody will ever remember this. That’s because conservatives have plenty of substantial and intelligent criticism of liberals. We don’t need to rely on petty mistakes to show that the liberal agenda is bad for America. Left-wing governments under the likes of Stalin, Mao, Hitler and Pol Pot were directly responsible for somewhere around 100 million deaths in the 20th century. Most Americans are aware of these atrocities and wisely do not want to see our government move left. In spite of liberal journalists, many Americans are also aware of the high-level bureaucrats in the Obama administration who openly admire Mao and other murderous dictators. The day after the Bay State election President Obama said, “People are angry and they are frustrated. Not just because of what’s happened in the last year or two years, but what’s happened over the last eight years.” There’s some truth to this statement, but Obama is delusional if he believes that America supports his left-wing agenda. The Obama administration has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that no party can be trusted with absolute power. No politician or political party should be allowed to corrupt the American system of checks, balances and the separation of powers. MIKE HUGHES is a Navy veteran who lives in Jamestown.

oter registration data, coupled with results from the 2010 census data, demonstrates a power shift in North Carolina. We’ve known for some time that voters were disproportionately choosing to be unaffiliated instead of registering as Republicans or Democrats. Democracy North Carolina reported that unaffiliated voter registrations grew 83 percent in the past decade, while Republicans gained 16 percent and Democrats increased by 11 percent. Democrats still have the largest numbers, but the influence of both political parties is waning. At least two significant events played into this decline. Even as Republicans were gaining in new registrations they didn’t have the numbers to win at the ballot box. Their only hope was to allow independents and unaffiliated voters to vote for their candidates in primary
elections, hoping these voters would stay with them in general elections. As more GOP candidates won, Democrats also MY SPIN allowed unaffiliated voters to Tom select a DemoCampbell cratic ballot in ■■■ primary elections, removing the real impetus for having to register for one party or the other. The numbers speak for themselves. Now, 23 percent of North Carolina’s registered voters list themselves as unaffiliated. Another telling statistic from voter registrations is the 57 percent gain in minority registrations, compared to a 15 percent increase in white registrations during the past decade. We can credit some of this increase to the “Obama surge” of 2008, but minorities,
especially Latinos, are growing in significance. North Carolina votes slightly more women than men, has more voters over the age of 60 and a larger percentage of white voters going to the polls. Eastern Democrats have long held powerful positions in our Legislature and in government but will likely lose seats and influence when redistricting occurs in 2011. New districts will be created and more power will shift to urban areas. Most of the campaigning will be conducted by TV and social media like facebook and YouTube. Statewide candidates will focus most of their campaign efforts on the 25 most populous counties, carefully researching issues important to these voters. They will also appeal to women and seniors, since these are the people who most often vote. Candidates will seek the minority vote, but unless this
group votes with more consistency and less predictability (for Democrats), they will not get major attention. To win, candidates must capture unaffiliated voters. To get their votes, candidates must move to the center, emphasizing specific plans of action more than rhetoric. Unaffiliated voters respond more to fiscal issues than social agendas. We will see evidence of these changes in this year’s elections, but the real proof will come following the redistricting that results from the 2010 census. Whether for good or bad, we cannot say at this point, but there is no refuting the shift in power taking place in North Carolina.

A higher standard The people must demand our public officials show greater integrity BY TOM TERRELL
R
ecently, the Raleigh News & Observer ran the front page banner headline “51 Charges for Former Easley Aide.” I was marginally acquainted with aide Ruffin Poole, and the N&O article led me to suspect prosecutorial overkill. Bribery. Mail fraud. Extortion. Racketeering. Money laundering. But with the help of the Internet, I pulled the 64-page indictment. From paragraph to paragraph, I winced and cringed: • A Wilmington developer and financier flying Poole to Costa Rica every year in a private jet. • The same developer cutting Poole sweetheart deals in several coastal developments where his risks were non-existent but exorbitant profits were quick and guaranteed. • Money channeling back to Poole indirectly through unrelated family businesses. The business relationship unreported on annual ethics disclosures. And throughout it all, Poole was using his power as the governor’s right-hand man to lessen the time it took for the developers to obtain permits from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Using his power to ensure favorable treatment by employees reviewing permit applications. Using his power to shorten the time it would

take to get his investment return. In cities, counties, congressional districts and states across the country, we entrust average citizens with great power to look after the rest of us. The operative word is “entrust.” An elected or appointed official is a fiduciary of that power just as a bank officer is a fiduciary of customers’ money. The power to control the levers of government is the most sacred power a democracy bestows. Abuse of that power is not defined by the wisdom of an official’s decisions or the repercussions of his or her actions. Abuse of entrusted power is marked, foremost, by whether the
action was intended for self benefit. If the indictment allegations are true, Poole sold more than his soul. He sold his sacred office. It’s easy to villainize officials who abuse power when the dynamics are never so black and never so white as we pretend. Elected officials soon discover that power is a necessary tool placed at their disposal, just as a mechanic keeps a wrench on the shelf. Power is how a congressman gets grandmother her Social Security check. Power is how a council member gets constituents’ potholes repaired. Democracy cannot function without it.
But the slope is greasy. It’s not that power is corrupting as much as it is seductive and blinding. Government officials are occasionally caught in that common political vortex where the circular currents on the outer edges are slow, but with each revolution they get tugged ever closer to the center where the currents are swifter and stronger and escape is impossible as they are sucked faster and deeper into the abyss. What started as kindnesses from wealthy friends was arguably just that. What was routine political assistance with a cumbersome, labyrinthine state bureaucracy was possibly nothing more. But when Poole’s own money and interests became entangled, he crossed a line. A serious line. The allegations are meticulous and persuasive. They indicate he knowingly crossed that line, knowingly abused his power, and knowingly tried to cover his tracks. The political class has responded with expected sanctimony when the better response is less theatrical. Neither party has a corner on the market of unethical conduct. We should instead be both mindful and grateful that unethical and illegal conduct among government officials is the exception, not the rule.

Where has the immigration debate gone?
C
alifornia’s immigration story is a bittersweet heart palpitating tale incapable of arriving upon any hard-lined conclusions. An example of this is that in one hand, immigrants from India and China are upholding Silicon Valley as our American children still refuse to embrace OPINION the math and sciences – in Armstrong essence they are Williams keeping America competitive. While in the other hand, illegal immigrants weigh an enormous economic burden on states services such as: hospital care, education and prison systems. To illustrate this point
----
further, in one hand, illegal immigrants contribute $9.5 billion annually to Social Security. While in the other hand, in California alone – which is the national choice for immigrants – they cost Californians roughly some $10.5 billion a year. These numbers are astounding and could well-equip any contrarian, on either side of the immigration debate, with enough ammunition to attack their equally armed foe. I believe what most people forget is that at some point we were all immigrants. And, in most cases, those who have immigrated to the United States have done so under similar motives to one another. As Americans, we have an immigration legacy which has perpetuated itself to this day and age.
Our ancestors, the Puritans, came to this country out of religious persecution. However, their motive for being here was just as much financial, as corporations

There is no doubt that anyone entering this country should have no special or exceptional right that we as natural-born Americans don’t possess. Every citizen regardless of their plight and circumstance
should become a legal and taxpaying resident of this nation. We must always respect and honor the rule of law, which separates this country from every sovereign nation in the world. We can accomplish this while at the same time understanding and respecting that we are all immigrants – where the majority migrated from somewhere other than our America. It is this migration that makes this country the symbol and beacon of the world that billions of people look to as the good shepherd and certainly the land of prosperity and uninterrupted freedom.

Easier said than done Job creation is daunting task for Obama administration MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
ST. LOUIS – Pushed by growing anger among Americans over the slow economic recovery, “jobs” has become the buzzword of the political season. President Barack Obama mentioned it almost 20 times during his first State of the Union speech. Republican and Democratic leaders vow that job creation will drive their agendas as they push toward the mid-term elections this year. Good luck, say the experts. Yes, job creation works great in a recovering economy, but making that happen in the legislative arena is problematic, said Steven S. Smith, director of the
Weidenbaum Center on the Economy, Government and Public Policy at Washington University. Ultimately, Smith points out, government is at the mercy of the fundamental forces that dictate the cycles of the economy. “It is very difficult for the typical legislator to have any impact on factory job production. All that is due to consumer demand.” This year, the stakes are high, not just for the economy, but for numerous political candidates promising to fix it. In November, 36 U.S. Senate seats (one each in Missouri and Illinois) are in play, as well as the 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and 36 governors’ posts, including Illinois. The winning candidates likely
will be those who are able to win over voters like Festus, Mo., resident Gary Cole. Laid off in May after 25 years building Chrysler minivans and pickups in Fenton, Mo., Cole has little interest in health care reform, global warming or the other policies that dominated the conversation during Obama’s first year in office. His interest, in fact, is embedded in a single issue – getting a job. “They have to figure something out because there is no work out here,” Cole said. Politicians might have embraced the jobs issue sooner had they made regular visits to unemployment offices. The career center in Arnold, Mo., where Cole is a regular visitor, assisted more than 7,400 displaced workers in December alone. “There are lots of frustrated people,” said Diana Voelker, the state Depart-
ment of Economic Development regional manager overseeing the Arnold center. Smith said that even if new jobs are hard to come by, the shrewd candidate will acknowledge that frustration with empathy during the upcoming campaigns. Beyond that, there isn’t much national politicians can do to help the unemployed get back to work, said David Webber, an associate professor of political science at the University of MissouriColumbia and a specialist in legislative policy. “The U.S. Congress should focus on financial regulation, trade policy and the big picture of human capital development and leave the nitty-gritty of economic development to state and local governments” said Webber, the father of Missouri state Rep. Stephen Webber, a Democrat.
State and local officials, in turn, need to target sectors capable of establishing a regional economic identity, David Webber added. As an example, he cited Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon’s bid to position the state as a go-to state for bio-research and production. Market economics notwithstanding, candidates can pretty much count on even employed voters – like software analyst Greg Schmidt of Bethalto, Ill. – to pay attention to jobs initiatives when they pull the levers at the ballot box in November. Jobs “have to be the No. 1 thing, and anyone who doesn’t see that doesn’t get it,” Schmidt said. “When people are working, they feel better about everything. They are keeping a roof over their heads. Their kids are being fed.”

Loyal customer becomes coffee shop owner BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
ARCHDALE – When Carol Hamilton frequented the Wet Whistle Co. for a cup of coffee, she had no inclination that the shop would be hers someday. But when the business was put up for sale in September 2009, about one year after it opened, Hamilton purchased the shop, located in the Shops at Bonnie Place in Archdale. She said she bought it for two reasons. First, she said she couldn’t let her favorite coffee shop close. Second, she said she always had a desire to run her own business. “I’ve always wanted some type of shop,” Hamilton said. “I’ve always wanted something of my own.” With a bachelor’s degree in biology and a part-time job at Lab Corp., Hamilton may not seem like the coffee-shoploving type who would want to work in an artistic atmosphere all day. However, that’s exactly what she wants her shop to be like, she said. Filled with items made by local artists, painted glass adorns the windows and locally-produced pottery sits on the table. Most every artistic piece in the shop is made by a local or North Carolinian artist and is for sale. To generate more revenue for the shop, Hamilton also added locally produced wines to her selection. The shop regularly holds free wine tastings and can order most any wine if

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Who owns “Who Dat?” Some T-shirt makers are asking that question after they were hit with cease-and-desist letters from the NFL demanding that they stop selling shirts with the traditional cheer of New Orleans Saints fans. The National Football League says the shirts infringe on a legal trademark it owns. Separately, two brothers and longtime Saints fans claim they own the phrase, which was around before the long-downtrodden team’s inception in 1966. The chant — “Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints” — is often shortened to “Who Dat” on shirts and signs and has been a mainstay at the Superdome since the 1980s. Saints fans, still jubilant after the Saints’ win over the Minnesota Vikings for their first Super Bowl appearance, have voiced their dismay on radio talk shows, blogs and Web site posts. Many say it’s something that simply can’t be owned. “How can they put a trademark on something that’s been around for 150 years?” said Robert Lauricella, a 50-year-old oil field sales representative. “Just because the Saints have made the Super Bowl, why does everybody have to make a buck?” Shirts bearing the Saints cheer are big business as the team prepares for the big game against the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV on Feb. 7 in Miami.

Director-General, World Trade Organization, Pascal Lamy, during a panel on “Rethinking Trade and Climate Change“ at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Saturday.
Bankers at Davos told more regulation on the way DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) – Regulators from the world’s major developed countries told bankers far and wide in Davos on Saturday that greater regulation is on the way, a defensive move aimed at avoiding a repeat of last year’s financial meltdown that dragged most of the world into recession. U.S. Rep. Barney Frank said a bank tax and other tough new measures would be introduced by the individual countries but in a coordinated way to prevent bankers from moving from one place to another to escape regulation. “Lenin might have been able to put socialism in one country, but tough bank regulation in one country ain’t going to happen because we will lose people,” said Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat who heads the U.S. House Financial Services Committee, a key spot for any American decisions. The measures have been criticized by banks and hedge funds, fearful that more and more regulation could have the unintended effect of halting what most agree is a nascent economic recovery around the globe. Government regulators, finance ministers and central bankers from the
U.S. and Europe laid out their financial reform plans during a two-hour meeting Saturday with bank executives at the World Economic Forum. It came after days of tension at the Swiss Alpine resort over government plans for stricter controls on the financial industry to limit speculation and avoid a repeat of 2008. The event was not on the forum’s official agenda, but quickly became the most significant development of the day. It also brought to mind some of Davos’ high-profile conflict-resolution efforts of past years, including a Greek-Turkey accord to avoid war in 1988, as well as meetings between South African President F. W. de Klerk and the recently freed Nelson Mandela, and between Israel’s then-Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat. Frank, who emerged from the closed-door meeting as its unofficial spokesman, rejected the notion that the Obama administration could sink the economy again with too many new controls on the banking industry. “That’s nonsense,” Frank told reporters. “What we’re trying globally to recover from is a total lack of regulation.”
For the most part, some bankers conceded that the regulations – existing and proposed – remain a key component of putting the financial crisis in the past and, to an extent, keeping it from happening again. “Well they’re absolutely part of the solution, and I must say that the dialogue between political leaders, regulators and bankers have become very, very constructive indeed,” said Josef Ackermann, chief executive of Deutsche Bank AG. “I think we all know something has to happen quickly to restore confidence in the system.” Few details of what was discussed were made public, but Frank said there would be a bank tax imposed by individual countries, but in a coordinated manner. “The financial industry understands tough regulation is coming and it can be done thoughtfully,” he said. The head of Britain’s Financial Services Authority said the banks didn’t ask for anything at the talks. “It was not a negotiation or a debate,” Adair Turner said. “It was a discussion of a full range of issues organized in breakout groups and discussions.”
BofA chief to make $950,000 CHARLOTTE (AP) – Bank of America’s new CEO, Brian Moynihan, will make $950,000 a year, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The bank’s board of directors has approved the salary, which is 19 percent more than Moynihan’s 2008 base pay, according to the report. Moynihan, 50, took over as CEO at the Charlotte, N.C.-based bank Jan. 1. He succeeded Ken Lewis, who typically received a base salary of $1.5 million, the Journal reported. Moynihan’s salary doesn’t include any bonus he might collect for 2010 performance. His bonus will be decided early next year, the Journal said.

Netflix adds customers, shows profit

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Netflix Inc.’s fourthquarter performance sparkled as its DVD-bymail service surpassed 12 million subscribers, and management promised an even shinier sequel to kick off this year. Investors applauded, lifting the company’s shares by more than 14 percent Wednesday. The results reflect the growing popularity of Netflix plans that bundle DVD rentals with unlimited video streaming over the Internet for as little as $9 per month. Netflix added more than 1.1 million customers during the quarter – the most in any three-
month period in its history. It took Netflix four years to attract its first 1 million subscribers after launching its rental service in 1999. Management is expecting an even bigger first quarter. The company projects an additional 1.2 million to 1.5 million customers by the end of March. What’s more, Netflix forecast financial results for the first quarter and the full year that exceeded analysts’ current estimates. Netflix shares soared $7.33 in extended trading after finishing Wednesday’s regular session at $50.07, up $1.02.

No jobs? These people changed careers left, which is reflected in my compensation.”
BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES
Do you think changing careers impossible in this recession? Some people are doing just that, shifting from fashion to newspapers, music/entertainment to health care and hospitality to cosmetology. Abhishek Sharma, president of the Bergen Newspaper Group L.L.C., in Palisades Park, N.J., moved from fashion to publications eight months ago. He’d been in sales and managed people domestically and internationally. “The scope of work is naturally different,” he says. “The pressure to perform is similar, but publishing has a different concept of absolute deadlines.” Los Angeles resident Daniel House spent years in entertainment and (mostly) music before moving into health care January 11 at an area hospital. Tasks are similar – using online and web skills, some marketing and some communications. But he anticipated big changes in environment. He’d worked at many start-ups that were frenetic and volatile. The more steady rhythm in a hospital would require some adjustment. Clara Anderson of Miami, Fla., most recently managed a limited service hotel in a 30-year hospitality career. Three months after being laid off, she still didn’t have a job. Seeking less stress and flexibility and at 62 eschewing early retirement, she interviewed and subsequently enrolled in Beauty

These career-changers have lots of advice for others. Anderson advises you to research a new career and go to school if there’s something else you’d like to do. “It can be just as rewarding as the one you left and be economically as good,” she remarks. “Don’t be afraid to do something different.” Sharma says to “immerse yourself in the new field and bring fresh perspective and energy. You have to implement your work in your own unique manner from your own perspective.” He also recommends analyzing work problems, which “teach(es) you how to take care of them, fix them and keep them from happening again.” “The hardest part is getting your foot in the door,” House observes. “If you’re truly interested, really spend the time to know your company. Even though the job you’re looking for (might be) online, responding exclusively online isn’t enough. How does your resume read? Ultimately it’s the interview where it’s going to happen.” Get the door open by presenting yourself with a strong skill set and a well-written resume shining with substance and key words. DR.

WOLFPACK HOWLS: N.C. State proves too much for N.C. Central. 3D
Hoyas hammer Duke WASHINGTON (AP) – Put the commander in chief on the front row, and Georgetown beats Duke with its best shooting game in 30 years. With President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden munching popcorn in some of the best seats in the house, the No. 7 Hoyas put on a couldn’t-miss performance against No. 8 Duke, shooting 71.7 percent in Saturday’s 89-77 win. “The crowd was pumped up, Obama was there, so it was exciting,” Georgetown guard Chris Wright said. “I think we all came out with a little bit more energy than usual. We were all over the
place, defensively and offensively.” It couldn’t have been a much bigger day for Georgetown: the president attending his first Hoyas game, the first sellout of the season in the 20,000-seat Verizon Center, a crowd mostly sporting “We Are Georgetown” T-shirts in a school-sponsored “gray out,” the 200th win for coach John Thompson III, the launch of an initiative for Darfur schools, and, of course, the much-detested empire from the Atlantic Coast Conference in the building. “It was good, everything about it – from who was there, to how we played against a terrific team, against a well-coached team,
against a team that’s one of the best teams in the country,” said Thompson, who is 200-97 over six seasons with Georgetown and four at Princeton, “So the stars were aligned properly.” Wright seemed pumped for it all, scoring 21 points on 8-for-9 shooting and making two defensive plays that helped ignite an 18-3 run that gave the Hoyas the lead for good in the first half. Greg Monroe also finished with 21 points, and Austin Freeman added 20 for Georgetown (16-4), which shot 77 percent in the first half. The 71.7 shooting percentage for the game tied the third highest mark in school history and was
the best since the Hoyas shot 71.9 against St. John’s in 1980. Georgetown nearly had the best shooting game ever against Duke, just shy of a 73.3 percent game by UCLA in 1965. “We could never match their emotion,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “The place was electric. Their team was electric, and they played that way for 40 minutes.” Nolan Smith scored 19 points, Kyle Singler had 18 before fouling out with 2:10 to play, and Jon Scheyer added 17 for the Blue Devils (17-4), who shot only 37 percent. “They’re really good, and I think we’re good,” Krzyzewski said. “But we weren’t good today.”

Flames burn HPU women BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
HIGH POINT – Everything fell for the High Point University women in the first half of Saturday’s game against Liberty. Everything fell apart in the second half of the Panthers’ Big South Conference battle for first place. Devon Brown scored 29 points and Avery Warley added 26 – both career highs – as Liberty erased a sevenpoint halftime deficit inside the Millis Center for a 75-62 victory. “We didn’t defend for 20 minutes in the second half,” HPU coach Tooey Loy said. “Our intensity for some reason, getting defensive stops – we just broke down. We let them keep getting to the rim. We’re supposed to be the quicker team and they kept driving by us.” Brown, the runaway pick for league freshman of the year honors, bounced back from a quiet first half by making 8 of 12 shots from the field in the second. The guard also finished with 11 rebounds and two blocks. Warley, a 6-foot-3 sophomore forward averaging 9.5 points per game, made her first five shots and scored 11 points by the 16:30 mark of the opening half. She finished 9-for-13 from the field with 14 rebounds. As well as Warley played early for the Flames (15-4, 6-1 BSC), it was High Point that slowly pulled away at the start. Jurica Hargraves hit a 3-pointer and scored on a drive, Shamia Brown added four points and the Panthers closed the half on a 14-7 run. That put High Point (138, 6-2) ahead 41-34 at the break. “They shot 58 percent in the first half,” marveled DON DAVIS JR. | HPE Flames coach Carey Green HPU’s Ashlee’ Samuels (left) looks to move past Liberty’s Kylee Beecher on Saturday. over a 14-for-24 perfor-
EDITOR’S NOTE

mance from the field and 4-for-8 effort at the 3-point line. “The game is pretty simple: You make shots, you win games. They made shots and then they didn’t make shots in the second half, and it opened the door for us.” While High Point misfired on its first five shots of the second half and committed two turnovers, the Panthers’ downfall didn’t come until much later. Devon Brown began slicing through the lane for easy buckets midway through the half, and whenever she missed, Warley was there to clean it up on the glass as Liberty finished with a 4225 rebounding advantage. The Panthers’ last lead came at 51-50, but a stretch of 6:10 without a field goal late in the half led to a 12-1 Liberty run that sealed the win. “Once they made that run I think we pressed a little bit,” said Loy, whose team was led by 13-point efforts from Brown and Hargraves. “We were getting frustrated because we kept giving up baskets on the other end. It was all on the defensive end.” The Panthers visit Coastal Carolina next Saturday and return home Saturday, Feb. 13, against GardnerWebb. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526
HIT AND RUN
---
T
he roads were filled with ice and snow Saturday, which meant the seats at the Millis Center were not filled with fans. Too bad for the High Point University women, who put on an impressive show against Big South Conference power Liberty before faltering late in a 75-62 defeat. The “announced crowd,” which includes advance ticket purchases, came to just 439. A count during the national anthem revealed some 130 fans in the stands moments before tip-off. It certainly made for an odd sight considering the game pitted two of the league’s best in a first-place showdown. “It’s definitely disappointing,” Panthers coach Tooey Loy said. “We had a small stu-
dent section, and we’re glad they came out and supported us, but it’s disappointing to come out and play such a big game and not have the atmosphere we’re used to.” There’s a reason teams play better at home than on the road: comfortable surroundings, familiar game-day routines, soaking up the energy from the home fans. But the only energy in the Millis Center on Saturday came from the HVAC system, keeping everyone inside warm as the snowy, icy scene played on outside. Loy said the small crowd “had nothing to do with the game. We played good enough in the first half to come out of here with a win and we just didn’t duplicate it in the second half.”
Still, one wonders if a raucous crowd doesn’t provide that extra oomph necessary to steal away a key rebound, get to the loose ball first, have enough lift on that 3-pointer that can turn the tide. Liberty coach Carey Green said his team’s traveling party consisted of 23 people and that “you could give us the bus driver – that was the only fan we had here.” It’s safe to say it won’t be that way on March 8 when these two teams close the regular season at the Vines Center. Unless a freakish late-winter storm descends upon Lynchburg, Va., a day before one of the Flames’ biggest games.

More relaxed Stewart targets Cup title S
uccess and maturity can make a big difference. Once known as “Tony the Terrible� for his caustic and antagonistic attitudes, particularly in dealing with the media, two-time Cup champion Tony Stewart was “Tony the Tame� as he fielded questions during Charlotte Motor Speedway’s recent NASCAR media tour. Well for the most part. He did get off a zinger or SPORTS admonishment now and then when asked a quesGreer tion that he thought was Smith not very bright. ■■■Otherwise, he was reserved and cordial. And why not? Stewart pulled one of the biggest surprises of 2009 by taking the moribund Hass-CNC Racing and turning it into the winning Stewart-Haas Racing after becoming Gene Haas’ partner. He had plenty reason to crow about putting himself and Ryan Newman behind the wheel of the two car teams, hiring Darian Grubb from Hendrick Motorsports and Tony Gibson from Dale Earnhardt Inc as crew chiefs and
ex-Richard Childress engineer/manager Bobby Hutchens as competition director. “Last year, we didn’t know what to expect and there was a big question mark of what was going to Stewart happen,� Stewart said. What happened was plenty. Benefitting from Hendrick Motorsports engines and technical advice, Stewart won four points race and the all-star race. He led the points going into the Chase for the Championship, as Newman also made the playoffs. He had all the ingredients to pull it off. When Stewart did it, there was no big shock given the resources with which he had to work. In fact, that was Stewart’s goal. “Getting that first year under our belt, there’s a lot more relaxation as far as my nerves are concerned,� Stewart said. “I’m proud of the relationship with Darian Grubb and Ryan Newman and Tony Gibson and Bobby Hutchens. I’m proud of what we did last year. I’m expecting a great year. Both of us getting into the chase is what I expected both teams to do.�
Imada builds a 2-shot lead at Torrey Pines THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO – Ryuji Imada, a runner-up at Torrey Pines two years ago, has a much better opportunity this time. He won’t be starting the final round 12 shots behind, or trying to catch up to Tiger Woods. Imada avoided the trauma that caught up with so many other contenders Saturday, making only one bogey and escaping
with several key pars for a 2-under 70 that gave him a two-shot lead over Ben Crane and Michael Sim in the Farmers Insurance Open. Imada essentially won the B-Flight two years ago when he closed with a 67 to finish eight shots behind Woods. No matter the score or who’s in the field, he obviously has figured out something about the tough South Course at Torrey Pines. He was at 13-under 203
and will be in the final group with Crane, who had a 69, and Sim, the 25-yearold Australian playing Torrey Pines for the first time since he was a teenager at the Junior World Championship in 2002. Phil Mickelson lost a ball in a eucalyptus tree and took double bogey, then rallied for a 70 and was four shots behind. Ten players were separated by four shots going into the final round.

That was high expectations considering that the team was still coming together less than a month before last year’s Daytona 500. “This time last year, we were sitting around in what direction we were going,� Hutchens said. “This time, we spent most of our offseason trying to make our organization stronger from an equipment standpoint and personnel standpoint. The main thing for me is I can look out of my office and see cars setting on the floor where this time last year it was pretty empty. We’re two weeks ahead of last year.� Stewart brushed aside a question on what he might have done better, but was quick to say that the things he did right were hiring Newman, Grubb, Gibson and Hutchens. Two things that were done this offseason were to add engineers and to hire different pit crewmen for Newman. “We got in position to win three or four races last year,� Gibson said. “And every time we had a bad pit stop or loose lug nuts or a cut tire take us out of contention.� As an owner of race tracks and dirttrack racing teams, Stewart said running a Cup team was much of the same.
“It’s not something I stepped into cold turkey,� Stewart said. “We’ve had our open-wheel teams and our race tracks. We’re used to dealing with personnel. But at this level, it’s more people than we’ve ever had. You realize everything you do and say not only affects you but it affects a group of people. It’s not a bad situation by any means.� It was so good that Stewart rates elevating the Haas team from also-ran to winner as one of the biggest accomplishments of his career. “To see this organization come together in such a short amount of time and to have the success that we had, the ultimate accomplishment would be winning a championship,� Stewart said. That is Stewart’s goal for this season. “The changes that we’ve done over the winter should put our teams in position to win the championship as opposed to last year when we were saying we’d just be happy to make the Chase,� Stewart said. “ We know where our program is. We have foundation we can build upon. That definitely gives you a confidence going into the season.� gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519
Serena stops Henin in Australian final MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) – Serena Williams won her second straight Australian Open championship, ending Justine Henin’s hopes of a Grand Slam title in her return from retirement with a 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 victory Saturday. Williams withstood a determined challenge from Henin before securing her fifth Australian Open title overall and 12th Grand Slam singles championship overall, tying Billie Jean King. King was at the stadium on Saturday night to take part in a pre-match ceremony to honor the 40-year anniversary of Margaret Court’s four Grand Slam tournament wins in 1970. “Billie, we are tied,� Williams said. “So I’ve reached my goal.� Williams’ five Australian titles is the most by any woman in the Open Era, since 1968, surpassing the four held by
Margaret Court, Evonne Goolagong Cawley, Steffi Graf and Monica Seles. Court holds 11 Australian Open titles overall, most coming before 1968. American twins Bob and Mike Bryan won their fourth Australian Open doubles title, defeating Daniel Nestor of Canada and Serbian Nenad Zimonjic 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-3 in the final. The brothers have won the title four of the past five years. They have eight Grand Slam doubles titles, including two at the U.S. Open and one each at the French Open and Wimbledon. The men’s final between Roger Federer and Andy Murray will be held tonight, where Murray will attempt to become the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936 to win a Grand Slam. Williams won the last four games to clinch the championship in just over two hours.

Smith leads Wolfpack past NCCU RALEIGH (AP) – What was supposed to be a nice break from the Atlantic Coast Conference grind turned into a tough game Saturday for N.C. State. The Wolfpack found itself trailing by seven points early against road-weary N.C. Central, which in three previous games against ACC foes had lost by 47, 30 and 42 points. N.C. State went to its money player in the second half, shot 60 percent overall and forced the Eagles into a bevy of bad shots on the way to a 77-42 victory at a mostly empty RBC Center. “They came out with more energy than we did in the first half,” said Tracy Smith, who led the Wolfpack with 23 points on 9-of-11 shooting. “The second half, we played harder than they did.” Apparently, the Wolfpack didn t think it needed to play hard against the Eagles, who had yet to beat a Division I team this season and were playing the last of five consecutive road games. “Maybe we took them for granted,” N.C. State s Dennis Horner said.
The Wolfpack had little energy, in part because the building that seats 19,700 had just 2,217 fans, no band and no cheerleaders because of a winter storm. The Wolfpack (14-8) trailed 11-4 early and didn t take the lead until 6:37 remained in the first half. The game remained close until N.C. State rattled off a 15-2 run to go into the locker room with a 27-20 lead. “We knew it was a bad-weather day, not a lot of people coming out, and we said, We have to create our own energy, “ Smith said. The Wolfpack shot 78.3 percent after halftime, a season-best for a half, to outscore the Eagles 50-22 after halftime. “I thought the deciding difference in the game was from the 3-minute mark on down in the first half,” N.C. Central coach LeVelle Moton said. “Things just didn t go our way from that point on.” Smith scored 14 points in the first 12 minutes of the second half, and the Eagles missed 17 of their first 19 shots after halftime.
The Wolfpack had lost at Maryland and at home to North Carolina in the previous week and, for the first 13 minutes, seemed headed toward another defeat. This one, however, would have been far less palatable, given that N.C. Central entered the game 0-17 on the road and 4-18 overall. Smith s layup with 8:47 remaining put the Wolfpack in front 53-34. Smith was 5 for 5 from the floor in the second half. “When we get the ball to him, good things happen,” teammate Josh Davis said. Horner added 13 points and six rebounds for N.C. State, which made 18 of 23 shots after halftime and outrebounded the Eagles 36-24. “I thought we were patient, very patient,” N.C. State coach Sidney Lowe said. “Our interior passing was pretty good.” C.J. Wilkerson led NCCU with 16 points. The Eagles shot just 26.5 percent, including 16.7 percent (5 of 30) in the second half.
FSU’s Kitchen sinks Eagles THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON – Derwin Kitchen hit Florida State’s only 3-pointer of the game in the closing minute and Solomon Alabi scored 16 points and had six rebounds, lifting the Seminoles to a scrappy 61-57 win over Boston College on Saturday. Michael Snaer, Chris Singleton and Ryan Reid each finished with 10 points for the Seminoles (16-5, 4-3 ACC). It was just Florida State’s third win in its last six games after a seven-game winning streak. Rakim Sanders led the Eagles (12-10, 3-5) with 17 points. Joe Trapani had 15 and seven rebounds. Kitchen also hit two free throws to seal it with 7.8 seconds left. Florida State, which entered the game leading the ACC in field goal defense, held Boston College to 43.6 percent shooting – the 57th straight opponent below 50 percent. With the score tied at 54-54, Alabi came up with a loose ball in a scramble on the defensive end after BC’s Courtney Dunn was trapped near the foul line. Kitchen hit his 3-pointer on the other end, giving the Seminoles a 57-54 lead with 43.9 seconds left.
(22) GEORGIA TECH 98, KENTUCKY STATE 50 ATLANTA – Kentucky State coach Clarence Moore doesn’t believe Georgia Tech looks like a Final Four team – even if the Yellow Jackets spanked his own team by nearly 50. “I’ve seen a few games this season, and I don’t
see a leader out there,” said Moore, a senior reserve when Georgia Tech advanced to the 2004 national title game. “To me, it looks like guys are trying to find themselves.” Glen Rice Jr. scored 15 points, D’Andre Bell added 14 and No. 22 Georgia Tech breezed to a 98-50 victory Saturday over Kentucky State. The Yellow Jackets (165) have won four of five and improved to 11-1 at home, dipping out of the Atlantic Coast Conference to take on a Division II school from the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Six years ago in an NCAA Tournament regional final at St. Louis, Moore had 14 points and five steals to help Georgia Tech beat Kansas in overtime and advance to the Final Four.

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE
Thomasville junior wrestler Ronta Burgess, who competes at 140 pounds, is closing in on 100 career match victories for an up-and-coming Bulldog squad.
Bulldogs’ Burgess bursts onto mat scene T
he faded banner hanging on the gymnasium wall tells of past glory for Thomasville’s wrestling program. State championships for legendary coach Jennings Withers from 1960-62. Two more titles in 1973 and 1991. And only brief echoes of that storied past in the intervening years. Now, a new gleaming, brilliant-red wrestling mat covers the floor where the Bulldogs practice. Grapplers in every weight class have Thomasville competing for a Central Carolina 2A Conference championship. And an unheralded wrestler with limited experience has burst onto the scene to lead the charge. “It feels good,” Ronta Burgess said. “We went from nothing to something.” Thomasville has enjoyed individual success in recent years, most notably with Darrius Little. The junior at N.C. State qualified for the NCAA Championships last winter and is starting again for the Wolfpack this year. But Little’s Thomasville teams struggled with numbers – a problem that disappeared when Richard Herman walked through the doors. Herman built a successful program at T. Wingate Andrews and joined Thomasville’s staff two years ago. Working with the football squad in the fall allowed him to recruit athletes to the wrestling team, while help in the middle school program meant some experienced grapplers also were on the way up. Turns out one of the athletes former assistant coach Strawn Wilson grabbed in middle school was Burgess. “At first I was like, ‘Oh, no, it’s too much work,’ ” Burgess recalled. “I ended up falling right into the trap – working and training to get good. I didn’t want to quit. Even though I kept getting beat, I enjoyed it so much.” Three years later, Burgess is on the verge of the 100-win milestone and Thomasville’s career victories record. He would have reached the century mark Saturday during the Bulldogs’ first tournament in forever – named in Withers’ honor – before the snow intervened.
Waiting a few more matches will be OK, though, for a wrestler who waited a while to hit his stride. The 140-pound junior went 19-17 his freshman year and lost 11 times as a sophomore – but enjoyed a fabulous SPORTS finish to the season. “He did not win a Steve tournament last year Hanf until he won the region■■■ als,” Herman marveled. “He beat everybody by a major decision at the regionals. He came in seeded fifth and plowed through everybody.” Somehow, everything clicked into place that weekend. Herman said Burgess “did everything backwards” in regards to normal techniques when he arrived at the high school. But Burgess absorbed all the critiques, spent untold hours on the mats with coaches such as Sam Davis, and developed into a talent that went 2-2 last year at the state tournament. Burgess is ranked fourth – with just two losses to senior title contenders – this season. “When we got to the regionals last year, he looked good,” Herman said. “You could tell we had us a wrestler by the time we got there. Beforehand we had an athlete that just gave you great effort. He’s not the most technical wrestler in the world, but he makes up for it just out-hustling people. That’s something you just can’t teach.” Burgess, who wrestled one year with Little, took some cues from the Thomasville great – and is working hard to be that same kind of leader. “He inspired me, telling me you can’t stop here, you’ve got to leave it all on the mat,” Burgess said. “I feel like I’m the next Darrius. I try to inspire them (the underclassmen) a lot because they’ve got a team. I’m telling them to stick together because they could be a state champion not just as individuals, but as a team.” Thomasville owns a 21-9 record overall and sits atop the CCC standings. A first-place showdown is slated for

GREENSBORO DAY, WESLEYAN HIGH POINT – Greensboro Day School’s boys defeated Wesleyan Christian Academy 58-40 on Friday night in a game that ended too late to be included in Saturday’s edition of The High Point Enterprise due to early deadlines mandated by the wintry weather. Leek Leek led the Trojan boys (17-8) with 13 points, while Montay Brandon added 11 points and Deng Leek finished
CAROLINA FRIENDS, WESTCHESTER HIGH POINT – Carolina Friends girls stopped Westchester Country Day 65-14 Friday night in a game not included in Saturday’s edition of The High Point Enterprise because of early deadlines mandated by the winter storm. Amber Hayes scored five as the Wildcats fell to 5-12. Westchester is scheduled to host American Hebrew on Tuesday.
Pro Bowl serves as Super Bowl warmup in Miami MIAMI (AP) – For 86 of the NFL’s best players, the season is ending where they wanted: in Miami. Their timing’s off, though. With a new venue and new slot on the league calendar, the Pro Bowl will be played today
as a preliminary to next week’s Super Bowl on the same field. It definitely feels like a warmup act. “There’s a bittersweet taste,” said quarterback Tony Romo, a late addition to the NFC roster after his Dallas Cowboys
came up two wins shy of a Super Bowl berth. “You’re always hoping to play in the big game.” The NFL is trying to transform the Pro Bowl into a bigger game by playing it before the Super Bowl for the first time.
Monday against Salisbury, and while the Bulldogs may not be ready to clinch a championship just yet, “there is a lot of pride,” said senior 215-pounder Jequan Harris. Added fellow senior Calvin Makupson, the Bulldogs’ 125-pounder: “I’m very proud of the team. We came from nothing and started up a little dynasty now. It’s an exciting experience. I was very surprised with the freshman class and the sophomores.” As to the secret of the youngsters’ success, it depends on who you ask. “He’s a great wrestler and a greater captain,” Harris praised of Burgess’ influence. “He’s a leader,” agreed Makupson. Burgess – and his teammates – dish plenty of credit to their new coach. “He’s a big leader,” Burgess said before pausing and adding with a laugh:
“He’s like my other daddy – Daddy Herman.” There’s plenty to be proud of when it comes to all of Herman’s “adopted” kids, especially in Burgess’ case. He owns a 3.65 grade point average and is a National Honor Society candidate. Burgess already has an eye set on a mechanical engineering degree at either N.C. State or North Carolina, and while he’d like to wrestle in college, he said his first aim at a scholarship will be for academics. “He’s a good wrestler and a better person,” Herman praised. The kind of wrestler you can build a championship contender around. “The program’s going in the right direction and we’re real excited about that,” Herman said. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

SPORTS THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, JANUARY 31, 2010 www.hpe.com
Finding time to climb a mountain N
ot too long ago, I wrote about my old friend Bob Craft passing away. I titled the story Bob’s Bucket List. Last week, Cherie and I were in Arizona driving across the desert when she brought up the subject of my bucket list. She asked what I’d like to do that I haven’t done yet. I, by nature, am a practical man. I have no aspirations to great fame as a writer; nor do I have some need to prove my worth by shooting an elephant. Honestly, I’ve enjoyed my life up to this point so much that, if I didn’t breathe another breath, I’d not feel cheated at all. But, as we drove across the desert, I recalled a conversation with my Uncle, Jake Proctor, when I was about 12 years old. I was riding with Jake and Annie Mae and some of my cousins up to the mountains of Virginia in Jakes old blue Plymouth. As we proceeded up Highway 8, I saw a single “mountain� rising out of a cow pasture. The hill was probably about a hundred feet high and would have been relatively easy to just walk up. I envisioned walking up that mountain and standing at the summit, looking out across the landscape. I suggested we just pull over on the shoulder, cross the barbed-wire fence and climb that mountain. I suspect I was the only person in the car with an inclination to climb a mountain that day and Jake was diplomatic in talking me out of that idea. He suggested that I’d have plenty of time in my life for climbing mountains
and maybe I should do it on a day when we didn’t have other things to do. I’m sure I was a little disappointed but I probably settled SPORTS with spending the next few Dick moments dreamJones ing about all the ■■■mountains I’d climb in my upcoming life. I had no idea how hard it was going to be to find a day when I didn’t have other things to do. Our four-hour drive across the desert turned into a sevenhour drive due to weather. It turned out the plans we made for Arizona just didn’t pan out. There was a huge storm happening as we drove out to Mayer to hunt Mearns quail. There was disastrous flooding in the area around Prescott and Mayer. Flagstaff got between four and six feet of snow, depending on who you believed, cutting us off from the Grand Canyon visit we planned. We wound up with extra time and nothing to do with it. Any trip is a pleasure when you enjoy the company you’re with and this one was no exception. We spent a night in Seligman, Arizona, ate breakfast at the famous Road Kill CafÊ, and began to wander back to the airport in Las Vegas for our trip home. I began to think about how, in all my years, I’d never taken the time to step out just for the purpose of climbing a mountain.

as the sun got lower and we waved our arms to see if we could see the movement; it was just too far. We climbed down and as we were walking back to the car, the sun set over the mountains to our South. We decided this simple diversion was the best part of the whole trip. The pleasure of doing a simple thing is so often lost on us. I think we’ve all spent so much time wrapped up in the complicated pleasures of life, we’ve forgotten the simple ones. Cherie and I were all wrapped up in trying to get in a quail hunt, a horseback ride, and another trip to see the Grand Canyon. When the weather tripped us up, it did us a favor. It gave us a chance to do something simple and take a little time to relax.

If you’re going to Vegas, the mountain is about an hour from the city on Highway 93 coming from Vegas. Once you’ve crossed Boulder Dam you’ll come to the Lake Mead Willow Beach exit and you’re almost there. You’ll have to drive on to Temple Bar Road to turn around. Get out at the Lake Mead Recreational Area sign and walk out to the mountain. Go to the crest of the saddleback and turn right. You’ll have to climb a few feet to get to the rock shelf. Change out the bottle caps with your own so we’ll know you’ve been there.

the South face of the almost vertical rock that formed the top of the little mountain to the South. We found a pocket on the side of the hill with overhanging rock over our heads. The floor was level for an area about six by ten feet. We hung our feet over the edge and enjoyed our lunch. In the distance, the rental car was visible as a tiny white speck on the side of the narrow pencil line of Highway 93. I know we’re all wired differently but I swear I believe that if all of us would just sit and contemplate the creation we live in for a few minutes every day, the world would be a much better place to live and we’d live longer and happier. The sound of the wind obliterated all civilized sounds. The winter sun baked the rocks around us and, with the North wind blocked by the side of the hill, we sat in total comfort. We found two niches in the rock above our heads almost the exact size of the bottle caps from our drinks and I embedded them there. We resolved to visit this place again and maybe even spend the night so we could see what the stars would look like over that desert plain. As Robert Earl Keene said in Gringo Honeymoon, “I was wishin’ that the world would stop.� We eventually moved out of our sheltered spot and found a break in the rock on the back where we could safely scale the hill to the summit. The shadow of the crest was hundreds of yards away on the desert floor

It wasn’t that I’ve never made it to the top of a mountain. It was just that the experience was always part of some other event or trip. Cherie and I had discussed just pulling onto the side of the road and wandering off in the desert to explore on other trips. We’d even discussed climbing one of the hills to enjoy the view. As we drove historic Route 66 West, we resolved to do just that. In Kingman, we stopped and bought sandwiches and drinks and watched for the right location. We found it about 20 miles from Boulder Dam on Highway 93. On the westbound lane, there’s a stone sign that designates the Lake Mead Recreational Area. A mile or two across the desert floor, there are two hills with a saddle-back between them. We crossed the barb wire fence the same way I envisioned crossing that barb wire fence almost 50 years ago riding in Uncle Jake’s Plymouth. We hiked to the base, climbed the saddleback between the two hills and stopped when we reached the top of the swag. There was a spot where a coyote had sat and watched the desert floor, no doubt taking advantage that he could see for miles in either direction. I imagined that coyote sitting there, looking out of it’s squinting eyes while the desert wind ruffled his fur. I imagined all the travelers who’d used this ancient vantage point over millions of years. The wind was out of the North and we moved along

France was second, 0.79 behind Riesch. Vonn had won the first five downhills of the season but finished 1.21 seconds behind. The American lost speed when almost losing her balance after her skis struck a hole in the snow, coming out of a tight right hand corner in the second half of the course. “I’m pretty disappointed with my result,� Vonn said. “I lost my direction and barely made my next gate.�

Filmed in Triad, ‘Extreme Makeover’ airs tonight BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
L
EXINGTON – Nearly 11 weeks after the Creasey family got to see the inside of their new home for the first time – courtesy of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” – now the rest of the country will get a chance. The episode featuring the building of William and Tricia Creasey’s new home will air at 8 tonight on WXLVTV, the local ABC affiliate. “Can’t wait,” says William Creasey. “Can’t wait.” During a one-week period in mid-November, the “Extreme Makeover” design crew – with a big assist from local builders, contractors and community volunteers – demolished the Creaseys’ dilapidated house on Allred Road and built them a new, more spacious home with lots of bells and whistles. “Just looking at pictures of the old house sitting there, and now we have this nice, beautiful home, with all the differences from the old house, it’s just amazing,” William says. “They did an amazing job.” The Creaseys and their three daughters – 13-yearold Brittany and 5-year-old twins Makayla and Makenzie – couldn’t be happier in their new home, according to William, who works in the Guilford County Schools’ technology department. “Brittany is a teenager, and she has a nice, beautiful room far away from her parents, so she loves it – she spends a lot of time there,” William says with a laugh. “The twins are only 5, so we don’t know how much they comprehend, but they definitely know they’re in a different house and they seem to love the new house.” The person who has benefited the most from the new home, however, has been Tricia. A teacher at E. Lawson Brown Middle School in Thomasville, Tricia has been battling cancer for three years, and the family’s former home wasn’t exactly conducive for rest and recuperation following her chemotherapy treatments. “In our old house, we basically had no hallways,” William explains. “Our bedroom was right in the middle of the house, so if the kids needed to go to their bedroom or to the bathroom. they had to go through our bedroom to get there. It was hard for her to get any rest with that constant flow of traffic right past our bed.” In the new house, the couple’s bedroom is not so central, and Tricia is able simply to shut the door and get all the rest she needs, William says. In addition, the family’s

Montreal’s midwinter festival scheduled for Feb. 18-28 MONTREAL (AP) – Canada’s High Lights festival is a midwinter party that offers a way to experience four places in one. The festival showcases a country, a city, and a region, while taking place in Montreal. The event includes arts, wine-tasting, food and light shows, with activities for families, too. The featured country this year is Portugal and the featured city is New Orleans, while the Eastern Townships of southeastern Quebec – including Sherbrooke, Granby, Magog and Cowansville – comprise the highlighted region. An all-night event, Nuit Blanche, will include more than 170 mostly free activities on the evening of Feb. 27, and on Feb. 20, a massive free outdoor multimedia spectacle will combine circus arts, pyrotechnics, acrobatics, music and projections. The Sun Life Financial Performing Arts will showcase classical and contemporary music orchestras, theater and dance companies
and Montreal museums. A new “Caliente” series of shows will offer Latin music, and Misia, a star of the Portuguese fado genre, will do two shows on Feb. 18 and 19. Another fado star, Ana Moura, will perform Feb. 27. The SAQ Wine and Dine Experience will include 280 gourmet food and wine events, including cocktail parties, themed brunches, culinary tours, wine presentations and workshops.

Lexington family gets new home FROM PAGE 1E
old house had cracks in the foundation, holes in the floors and walls, and water damage – none of which they could afford to repair because of the costs associated with Tricia’s treatment – so the new home allows them not to worry about having to make any major repairs. While many folks in the Lexington community got to see the
exterior of the new house when it was revealed to the Creaseys on Nov. 17, few have seen the interior – and William isn’t about to spoil the surprise. “Sorry, but we can’t talk about the inside of the house until the show airs,” he explains. In the meantime, though, the Creaseys can’t say enough about the community support they’ve
been shown in the past few months. “All those volunteers, they came out to help someone that most of them didn’t even know,” William says. “It’s an amazing thing to see people come together and be as one. We knew we lived in a great community, and this just puts an exclamation point on it.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Diner feels rushed when server buses table D
ear Abby: When my partner and I eat at a restaurant, the server often clears my partner’s plate before I am finished. I am not a slow eater, but I generally finish after she does. When the server removes her plate, I’m left feeling like I have to rush to finish my meal and that our “shared dinner time� is over. Am I wrong to feel that it’s rude to take away the dishes before everyone at the table is done? As a hostess at home, I wait until the entire table is finished eating before I clear. On the other hand, just about every place where we eat out does this, so maybe I should get used to it. What do you think? – Sue in Gloucester, Mass. Dear Sue: Here in the United States, it is common for servers to take the empty plates from the table. In Europe, diners often linger over a meal, enjoying coffee – a liqueur, perhaps – and good conversation. How does your partner feel about
ADVICE Dear Abby
having her plate cleared? If she would prefer that it remain while you finish your dinner, all she needs to do is say to the server, “Please leave it until Sue is done.� If she’s unwilling to do that, then I think you’ll have to get used to it.
Dear Abby: My fiance died three years ago of cancer. He was only 27. His diagnosis was a shock, and he was gone from complications of treatment barely a month later. Prior to this, while planning our life together, I became close with his family. After his death, I don’t know what I’d have done if they hadn’t been there for me. Although many people sympathized, my almost-in-laws came closest to understanding my devastation and pain. Simply put, we helped each other through it. â– â– â–
Cat seems too sexy for its litter box D
ear Dr. Fox: I have a 1-yearold neutered color-point Siamese cat. About six months ago, he started doing a sexy dance: He comes up on the bed, kneading the covers, quivering and posturing as if he were ejaculating. He is very intense. He also started peeing outside of (but near) his litter box. My vet did a blood test to check testosterone levels, but everything was normal. Will this behavior stop on its own? None of my other cats do this. What is the cause? He usually does it near me, but also on top of me. All my cats eat EVO canned food, supplemented with raw beef and Fromm dry cat food. – J.F., Toms River, N.J. Dear J.F.: I see no reason why your vet felt it necessary to check your cat’s blood testosterone level. Many perfectly healthy neutered male cats behave as yours does. They will engage in various activities that can be triggered by soft, pliable materials that I interpret as self-stimulating play that can include elements of kittenish kneading, sucking, preykilling and copulation. Siamese cats notoriously engage in sucking, often chewing and swallowing pieces of towel or blanket. This behavior has elements of obsessive-compulsive addiction and the lanolin in the wool may be a pheromonelike trigger. Try remotivating your cat with various toys like a wand or fish-pole and lure. A padded glove with various toys on the fingers can be a winner for cat-play and distraction/remotivation purposes. He may be urinating or marking outside the litter box because he is feeling insecure or is asserting himself over the other cats in the home. An extra litter box and regular daily cleaning of the same would be advisable. Dear Dr. Fox: I have a Silky Terrier. She recently turned 11 years old and doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. In September, she had all of her shots and a heartworm test. Everything seemed fine, but a month later, I noticed her breath smelling bad and a lump in her neck. I
took her to the vet and he said she had a bad back tooth, possible sinus infection ANIMAL and a swollen gland. DOCTOR He put her on Baytril, Dr. Michael 22.7 milFox ligrams, ■■■11⠄2 tablets every 24 hours for 14 days. About a week later, I took her back because the lump was getting bigger and she started having trouble breathing, and occasionally choked. At times, the lump moved over to the side and she seemed fine. The vet said surgery is difficult in that area and she would have to go to a specialty hospital. I’m 74 years old and on a fixed income and cannot afford the surgery. I don’t know what to do. She doesn’t appear to be in great pain, only when the lump appears to cut off her breathing. I’ve tried everything, including trying to move the lump away from her throat. What should I do? Should I put her down? – R.L., Egg Harbor, N.J. Dear R.L.: You have my deepest sympathy. So many pet owners are forced, for financial reasons, to have their beloved animal companions euthanized. It is regrettable that there is no national organization in the United States like the United Kingdom’s People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals that can help low- and fixed-income pet owners. Aside from the possible association between receiving additional vaccinations that no 11year-old dog like yours should need, and the soon-after appearance of infection or cancer, your wonderful little dog might be a poor candidate for surgery, anyway. Feel no blame or shame for not being able to do more for your dog than help her be as comfortable as possible and be secure in your loving arms rather than separated from you in some hospital cage for more tests and treatment. Dear Dr. Fox: I have two cats that are about 2 years old. They weighed about 8 ounces each when I found them.
They have watery eyes and sneeze when the seasons change. Is there anything I can do to help with this? – S.P., Winston-Salem, N.C. Dear S.P.: Cats are very sensitive to environmental and other stresses that can make prior infections such as rhinitis (sniffles) and cystitis (bladder inflammation) flare up. Simply ensuring they have a warm place to lie down and sleep is half the battle. A blanket in a cardboard box, a heat lamp or a warm pad will give them comfort. Supplements in their food to help boost their immune systems would provide much relief. These include probiotics, fish oil and superoxidants like Coenzyme Q10 that you put in their food, beginning with a few drops of fish oil and working up to 1 teaspoon daily. Probiotics come in capsules or tablets containing around 5 billion beneficial bacteria – break up and give twice daily. Give 50 to 100 milligrams of CoQ10.
We remain close to this day. I spend time with his mom and sisters, am invited to birthday dinners and holidays, and we get together on his birthday and the anniversary of his passing. Is this OK? Is it normal? When people hear that we’re still so close, I have had reactions from, “That’s wonderful!� to “You’re holding onto the past.� Although there are still some tears, there is now more laughter when we share memories. And I have begun dating again. I don’t feel that by preserving our relationship we are stuck in the past. Do you? – Doubting in Walnut Creek, Calif. Dear Doubting: There are degrees of involvement. You came very close to being an official member of that family, but fate thought otherwise. Whether your ties remain as tight when you fall in love again remains to be seen. But for now you are all meeting each other’s needs – and as long as it doesn’t
hold you back, it’s all right with me. Dear Abby: My husband and I married four years ago. My oldest daughter dates my husband’s brother and they’re expecting a baby together, although they are not married. Can you please tell me what this child should call me, my husband and our other children? We’re confused about it and don’t want the child to be confused about who’s who. Any help you can offer on this will be greatly appreciated. – Tami in Pennsylvania Dear Tami: You are the baby’s biological grandmother, and your husband is the baby’s biological uncle and step- grandfather. Your children are going to be aunts or uncles. Congratulations to all of you.

Mishap at Met big fear for parents NEW YORK (AP) – A trip here. A misplaced elbow there. The stumbling art student who tore a Picasso tapped into the worst fears of clumsy grown-ups and every well intentioned parent who dares venture into big-people museums with small children. Signs demanding DO NOT TOUCH don’t mean much when accidents happen, especially when the culprits aren’t old enough to read but are small enough – and antsy enough – to dash through barriers. The Moment for Julee Morrison of Taylorsville, Utah, came at Elvis Presley’s Graceland, a
huge attraction in Memphis, Tenn., with more than 600,000 visitors a year. All she wanted to do was feed her then 4-year-old son’s interest in the King. The boy was regaling his family with fun facts when his little brother disappeared. “We were in line at the gravesite when I glanced around and there on top of Elvis’ grave was my 18-month-old. He had squeezed through the rod-iron gate. I was horrified!� she said. Morrison was too big to follow him, resorting to bear crackers as a bribe to get him in her clutches. “Eyes were burning on my neck.� The woman who lost her
balance and fell onto Picasso’s “The Actor� at the Metropolitan Museum of Art last week was attending an art class when she stumbled. The museum’s director, Thomas P. Campbell, is pursuing a review of policies and procedures in the aftermath of the 6-inch tear that restorers will repair. While near misses are more common than direct hits, serious damage has been done by the clumsy. In 2008, a 9-foot-tall ceramic totem by Costa Rican artist Tatiana Echeverri Fernandez and on view at the Royal Academy of Arts in London broke into pieces after a visitor tripped into it.
THE STRESS-HEALTH CONNECTION A great new book by Paul McCutcheon, DVM, and Susan Weinstein entitled “The New Holistic Way for Dogs and Cats: Understanding the Stress-Health Connection� ($18.99, Celestial Arts) is now available. As I state on the book jacket, “Before the word holistic became integral to veterinary medicine and practice, Dr. McCutcheon was already there.� I recommend this book for all pet owners and veterinarians seeking an introduction to integrative medicine, where the whole animal is looked at from medical, emotional and environmental perspectives, with particular emphasis on the role of stress in companion animal health and well-being, and on applying safe and effective alternative and complementary treatments.

Minnesota records odd queries
S
T. PAUL, Minn. (AP) – If you’re planning a vacation in Minnesota and you ask a state travel counselor for help, try not to ask about things that only happen in other parts of the country. Otherwise you might end up with your question on the state’s “Quirkiest Queries” list, compiled by Chuck Lennon, who handles media relations for Explore Minnesota Tourism. The list came about because Lennon was looking for something fun to add to his annual year-in-review report at the office. He decided to ask counselors from the state’s call-in lines and 11 travel information centers to send him details about the “corniest calls” they received in the past year. And how do tourism workers deal with queries that range from amusing to ignorant? Lennon said they are given this training: “Don’t laugh in their faces. Calm yourself and just deal with it.” Some of these anecdotes are from Explore Minnesota Tourism travel information centers, which tourists visit in person; others are compiled from phone or mail queries. • “I’m coming in July and I want snowmobile rental information.” • “Where do we go to do the whale-watching?” • “Is there such a thing as an easy fishing lake? Something without having to hunt and work real hard?” • “We want to tour the Edmund Fitzgerald.” (The ship sank in a storm in Lake Superior in 1975. Its last known position was 15 miles northwest of Whitefish Point, Mich.) • A traveler asking to see a bridge in Minnesota with arches was shown various photos, none of which seemed right to her. She finally identified a picture of the St. Louis Gateway Arch as the right attraction, and was given directions to Missouri. • “Does one need a travel permit or visa to visit Minnesota?” • “Is it always foggy in Duluth? What time will the fog lift?” (It is often foggy in Duluth but the fog does not lift on a prearranged schedule.)

Mardi Gras World celebrates Carnival year-round BY MARY FOSTER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

EW ORLEANS – It’s always carnival time at Mardi Gras World. The familyrun business has been making mega-floats for some of the biggest and best Mardi Gras parades for more than 60 years.

They marched in, mouths hanging open, cell phones held aloft to record the wonders stretching before them. “Oh, look, look,” girls’ high-pitched voices called out. Even the more sedate boys elbowed each other as they strolled past well-endowed replicas of Marilyn Monroe, Wonder Woman, and assorted harem girls. Tours of Mardi Gras World cost $18.50, including a 12-minute movie and a chance to dress in various Mardi Gras costumes and take pictures.

The Kern family is the creative force behind Mardi Gras World. Blaine Kern, the son of a sign painter, started building and decorating floats when he returned from World War II. Over the years, he and his family became known for their extraordinary designs – including some of the mega-floats for the so-called super krewes. “I say we don’t do floats for all the parades.

Mardi Gras takes place Feb. 16, but the parades begin the weekend of Jan. 30. Mardi Gras World is providing floats for 18 parades this year, including Rex, known as the King of Carnival, Zulu, Bacchus, Endy-
mion and Orpheus. All will roll the final weekend of Carnival and will be viewed by upward of 1 million people. The parades’ themes change each year. Even parades that use the same named mega-floats over and over update and reinvent their floats depending on the new parade themes. Mardi Gras World not only creates floats for local parades, but also does Mardi Gras-type parades for theme parks around the world, including Japan, Korea, Singapore and Paris. “Every day our company is part of a parade somewhere in the world,” Kern said.

Q
I am 59 years old and I currently receive Social Security disability benefits. Can I still get my regular Social Security retirement benefits when I reach full retirement age? A. If you are still receiving Social Security disability benefits when you reach your full retirement age, we will automatically switch you from disability benefits to retirement benefits at that point. The money amount will remain the same – we will just classify you as a retiree instead of a person with a disability. For more information, visit our Web site on disability benefits at www.social security.gov/disability. Q. My wife and I live in High Point, but plan to spend the winter in Florida. My wife will turn 62 while we are in Florida. Can she apply for benefits in Florida, or do we have to wait until we get back home to apply for retirement at our local Social Security office?

Marriages experience stale periods
Q
uestion: My wife and I love each other very much, but we’re going through a time of apathy. We just don’t feel close to each other. Is this normal, and is there a way to bring back the fire? Dr. Dobson: This happens sooner or later in every marriage. A man and woman just seem to lose the wind in their romantic sails for a period of time. Their plight reminds me of seamen back in the days of wooden vessels. Sailors in that era had much to fear, including pirates, storms and diseases. But their greatest fear was that the ship might encounter the Doldrums. The Doldrums was an area of the ocean near the equator characterized by calm and very light shifting winds. It could mean certain death for the entire crew. The ship’s food and water supply would be exhausted as they drifted for days, or even weeks, waiting for a breeze to put them back on course. Well, marriages that were once exciting and loving can also get caught in the romantic doldrums, causing a slow and painful death to the relationship. Author Doug Fields, in his book “Creative Romance,” writes, “Dating and romancing your spouse can change those patterns, and it can be a lot of fun. There’s no quick fix to a stagnant marriage, of course, but you can lay aside the excuses and begin to date your sweetheart.” In fact, you might want to try thinking like a teenager again. Let me explain. Recall for a moment the craziness of your dating days – the coy attitudes, the flirting, the fantasies, the chasing after the prize. As we moved from courtship into marriage, most of us felt we should grow up and leave the game playing behind. But we may not have matured as much as we’d like to think. In some ways, our romantic relationships will always bear some characteristics of adolescent sexuality. Adults still love the thrill of the chase, the lure of the unattainable, excitement of the new and boredom

with the old. Immature impulses are controlled and minimized in FOCUS a committed relaON THE tionship, FAMILY of course, but they Dr. James never Dobson fully dis■■■ appear. This could help you keep vitality in your marriage. When things have grown stale between you and your spouse, maybe you should remember some old tricks. How about breakfast in bed? A kiss in the rain? Or rereading those old love letters together? A night in a nearby hotel? Roasting marshmallows by an open fire? A phone call in the middle of the day? A long-stem red rose and a love note? There are dozens of ways to fill the sails with wind once more. If it all sounds a little immature to act like a teenager again, just keep this in mind: In the best marriages, the chase is never really over. Question: As a single mother, I’d like to leave my children with friends or relatives for a few days and get some time for myself, but I’m worried about how this might affect them. Will they feel deserted again? Dr. Dobson: Not only is a brief time away from your children not likely to be hurtful – it will probably be healthy for them. One of the special risks faced by single parents is the possibility of a dependency relationship developing that will trap their children at an immature stage. This danger is increased when wounded people cling to each other exclusively for support in stressful times. Spending a reasonable amount of time apart can teach independence and give everyone a little relief from the routine. Therefore, if you have a clean, safe place to leave your children for a week or two, by all means, do it. You’ll be more refreshed and better able to handle your usual “homework” when you return.
D
ear Dr. Donohue: Can you give me information on how to raise my HDL level? – K.C. HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol – “good” cholesterol -- removes cholesterol stuck to the walls of arteries and takes it to the liver for recycling or disposal. An HDL cholesterol reading of 40 mg/dL or higher is considered an acceptable level. A reading of 60 is bliss. Actually, there is no such thing as good and bad cholesterol. Cholesterol is cholesterol. What makes it good or bad is the protein carrier that hauls it around – in this case, high-density lipoprotein. Devoting half an hour a day to aerobic exercise drives HDL up. Aerobic exercise is an activity such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming or biking – things that raise the heart rate and keep it raised for at least 20 minutes. Weight loss is another way to increase HDL cholesterol. Including oils like olive, soy and flaxseed in your diet boosts good cholesterol. So do nuts, especially walnuts, almonds, pecans and peanuts. A modest amount of alcohol (one drink a day for women and two for men)
can elevate it. Not smoking, staying away from sugary foods and not engagHEALTH ing in yoyo dieting Dr. Paul have a benDonohue eficial ef■■■ fect on this cholesterol variety. Yo-yo dieting is constantly swinging between thin and obese. Sometimes medicines are the only way to boost HDL. Statins -- medicines that, it seems, the entire population takes to lower bad cholesterol – also raise good cholesterol. Niacin is particularly good for upping HDL. Fibrates, another class of cholesterol-lowering medicines, increase it. Lopid and Tricor are two fibrate medicines. Dear Dr. Donohue: Just how dangerous is the drug Levaquin? I read that it should not be given to a person over 60 or to a person with Alzheimer’s disease or heart disease, or one who is allergic to an antibiotic. What would the effect be if this drug were given to a person who had all of the above? – A.S. Levaquin (levofloxacin)
Springsteen exhibit to stay at Cleveland’s rock hall CLEVELAND (AP) – A Bruce Springsteen exhibit is sticking around for an encore at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Cleveland museum announced Tuesday that its exhibit on The Boss will remain there for the rest of 2010. The collection of Springsteen artifacts, handwritten lyrics and guitars had been scheduled to close this spring. “From Asbury Park to the Promised Land: The Life and Music of Bruce
Springsteen” is one of the most extensive exhibits on a rock star ever presented at the hall. Springsteen, a 1999 hall of fame inductee, contributed many of his own items, including the guitar he holds on the cover of “Born to Run.” Several new items have been added since the April opening, including Springsteen’s first car and his 2009 Kennedy Center Honor and Golden Globe Award.
is a newer antibiotic that has rescued many from dangerous infections and has been lifesaving for quite a few. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, insomnia, headache and constipation. Those are potential side effects of almost all drugs. More-serious side effects are tendon inflammation and even tendon rupture. The Achilles tendon, the heel cord, is the one most often affected. The medicine makes some people quite sensitive to sunlight and sunburn. It has caused both liver and kidney damage. It might affect the way the heart beats, and could cause dangerous heart rhythms. These things are more likely to happen to people over 60. With all this, how could such a medicine be allowed on the market? These outcomes are exceedingly rare, and the drug’s benefits greatly tip the scales in its favor. I have never seen any warning about using Levaquin for an Alzheimer’s patient. It’s not clear what you mean by “one who is allergic to an antibiotic.” A person who is allergic to penicillin can safely take Levaquin. It’s an entirely different chemical substance. People who
are allergic to the class of antibiotics called quinolones should not take it. Levaquin belongs to that family of drugs. Dear Dr. Donohue: Recently, my close friend was told she should not sleep under an electric blanket because she has arthritis. She had thought that the warmth would help her pain. She turned off the power and is feeling much better, and has lessened the amount of pain medication she takes. It is a miracle. Please comment. – P.L. Electric blankets have long been accused of having many deleterious effects. I have never heard, however, that they worsen arthritis. The electromagnetic field created by the flow of current is cited as the reason why they are health hazards. Most authorities do not subscribe to this theory. I am happy for your friend. I use an electric blanket and am not allowing anyone to pry it from my grasp. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Combining Cosmetic Breast and Abdominal Surgery It is very common for a woman to come to see me with concern about the appearance of her breasts and her abdomen. This typically occurs after she has had all of her children. God help us, we love our children, but the cosmetic toll that pregnancy brings can be significant! Similarly, a large weight loss can have a negative effect on our cosmetic appearance. The changes that occur in the breasts vary, but usually the skin stretches beyond what it can recover naturally. You then lose some volume as well. This gives you a double whammy for your breasts --- they are smaller and now droopy. Breast augmentation is the solution to the loss of volume. Breast enlargement is one of our most common cosmetic procedures. A breast lift might help with sagging. This is a fantastic operation. Raising the nipple and tightening the skin does wonders for the cosmetic look of breasts. Often we do both-- a lift, and an enlarge, at the same time, for a fantastic change in appearance.
Sometimes after pregnancy the breast will stay larger than before. If this becomes a problem, a breast reduction is the operation for you. The result is a shapelier, smaller breast with elevated nipples. The changes in the abdomen after pregnancy usually involve three things. Sometime there is more fat deposited there, the skin has stretched out (probably now with stretch marks showing,) and the abdominal muscles have been stretched apart. Liposuction is the cosmetic surgery solution to the fat deposits. This works great when done on the right person -- usually someone who has no excess skin. This means, if you have loose skin, liposuction alone will not be enough, and you need some of that excess skin removed. Here a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty is appropriate. We remove a football-shaped piece of skin and the fat below it -- from the pubic hair up to the belly button. Now all the stretch marks below the belly button are gone! At the same
time we can sew the stretched out muscles tighter. Voila, a more taut, flatter stomach. Combining procedures can be a great opportunity for you. We won’t let you do too much at one time, but if it is safe, this saves you time and money. It’s less expensive to combine the procedures than to do them separately. Perhaps, even more beneficial, there is only ONE recovery. The single recovery may be a few days longer, but much shorter than having two separate operations from which to recover. So, what about pain? We have a pain pump that can bathe the surgical area with numbing medicine for days. This has truly been a blessing in treating the pain of breast enlargement and abdominoplasties. Do not let fear of pain keep you from learning about these procedures! So give us a call. If pregnancy or weight loss has wrought some changes, hey, you deserve to look the best you can! We can help.

Legendary memories Area museum draws fans of Earnhardt, racing BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
WELCOME – Here sits all of the cars that made Dale Earnhardt a legend in NASCAR. Here sits the garage that made Richard Childress one of the most famous owners in stock car racing. And here sits a museum that serves as one of Davidson County’s top attractions in the town of Welcome. “This was the original building on the property in 1986,” says David Hart of Richard Childress Racing as he describes the Richard Childress Museum. “This was the three-team race shop. It was here that we won all of our six cup championships with Dale. Obvious-
ly, it has changed a little bit since then.” In fact, Richard Childress Racing did make some changes after Dale Earnhardt’s death in February 2001, changes that would honor the driver who won 67 races, including an unforgettable Daytona 500 in 1998. Honoring his late friend in 2002, Childress moved his race shop, which is now the Richard Childress Museum, to another location at his 70-acre headquarters. Work then began on converting the race shop to a museum – a move that came to fruition in May 2003 when former Gov. Mike Easley visited the Richard Childress Museum to present a proclamation that made the museum a Designation of Distinction. Since the opening of the museum, Richard Childress Racing sees about 50,000 people annually, says Hart, adding that the museum’s first couple of years “were huge.” “It has leveled off some, but at the same time we still do pretty good business,” Hart says. “Our peak times are when the

We also get a lot of traffic from Bristol and Martinsville races.” Those fans come to the museum to see the 47 race vehicles, including Dale Earnhardt’s winning Daytona 500 car, that made Earnhardt and Childress two of the most recognized names in NASCAR. Hart says “each one of the cars has history,” and aren’t cars Richard Childress “just kind of threw

together to put in the museum.” “They all have a pedigree, if you will,” Hart says. Of all of the vehicles, Hart says Earnhardt’s Daytona 500 car is the focal point of the Richard Childress Museum. Even in recent months, fans have visited the museum to place roses beside the car that had previously been stored at the Daytona International Speedway Museum. At the Richard Childress Museum, a video also is played that shows Earnhardt capturing the Daytona 500, a win that he tried the majority of his career to get. “I’ve seen people stand there for a half an hour or more, just look at the car and watch the video, some with smiles on their faces and a lot of them with tears in their eyes,” Hart says. The center section of the facility is dedicated to Childress’ devotion to wildlife and outdoor conservation, according to

the museum’s Web site. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, the North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation, the National Wild Turkey Federation and Ducks Unlimited, all actively involved in the conservation of the nation’s wildlife and natural resources, are showcased in this area along with many of the animal trophies Childress has won over the years. A $1 donation for every visit is dispersed among the wildlife organizations, Hart says. In addition to the vehicles and wildlife section, there are 16 video screens in the facility that showcase key victories in Richard Childress Racing history, as well as informational pieces given by Richard Childress and members of Richard Childress Racing’s staff. Danny “Chocolate” Myers, the famed longtime gas man for the No. 3 team, is the curator for the museum. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Watt defends president’s agenda BY FRED CLASEN-KELLY MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS
CHARLOTTE – Speaking in a city struggling with unemployment and weakened banks, Democratic Rep. Mel Watt on Monday defended the Obama administration’s economic strategy, saying it saved the nation from “catastrophe.” Watt told party loyalists attending an uptown luncheon that President Barack Obama’s plan to create affordable healthcare, clean energy and an
educated workforce will push the country out of the worst recession in decades. Obama has been criticized in recent weeks over continued high unemployment and Wall Street bailouts, including $45 billion for Bank of America. Watt, whose 12th Congressional district includes part of Charlotte, said Republican attacks have distorted the issue. He said blame for the recession lies with Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush. “We are taking the rap
for something we didn’t create,” Watt said. Watt spoke to members of the Uptown Democratic Forum at the Levine Museum of the New South. Watt stood in front a projection screen with the words “Actions by Congress are Helping the Economy Recover,” and ticked off a list of accomplishments from Obama’s first year in office. The list included passage of an economic recovery package, energy legislation and expanded health coverage for children.
Mathematics school leader retiring BY DAN KANE AND ANNE BLYTHE MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS
RALEIGH – The leader of the N.C. School of Science and Mathematics announced his retirement Monday. The move follows 10 years in which the Durham campus continued to grow but questions arose about the administrators
he hired and the pay they received. Chancellor Gerald Boarman said he wants to return to his home in Maryland to spend more time with his family, who had remained there. The announcement surprised both the school’s trustees and members of the UNC Board of Governors, who oversee the elite residential high school for academically
gifted students. A spokeswoman for UNC President Erskine Bowles said that Boarman first broached the retirement with him shortly before Christmas. Boarman, 62, told faculty and staff in an e-mail message Monday that his last day will be July 31. He said the details of his retirement have not been fully worked out and that he is considering several educational opportuni-
ties in Maryland. “Please know that this has been a very difficult decision for me personally and professionally, but I look forward to hearing all that NCSSM has accomplished in the years to come and I know that I am leaving this fine institution in good hands,” Boarman said in the message. He declined through a spokeswoman to be interviewed for this story.

Esther Bejarano, who survived former Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz, performs a hip-hop song during an Auschwitz-Committee event to commemorate the liberation of Auschwitz by the Soviet Army on January 27, 1945, in Hamburg, northern Germany, Sunday.
Auschwitz survivor teams up with rap band BY KIRSTEN GRIESHABER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

ERLIN – Esther Bejarano says music helped keep her alive as a Jewish prisoner in Auschwitz and in the years that followed. Now, 65 years after the liberation of the Nazi death camp, the 85-year-old has teamed up with the hip-hop band Microphone Mafia to spread her anti-racism message to German youth. “It’s a clash of everything: age, culture, style,” Bejarano, a petite lady with an amiable chuckle, told The Associated Press ahead of Auschwitz Liberation Day last week. “But we all love music and share a common goal: we’re fighting against racism and discrimination.”
In Shalom, the first track of the CD Bejarano and the Microphone Mafia released last year titled Per La Vita, the bands sing about longing for world peace. “My head is bowed, too many tears held back,” the song goes. “Worried I look around and see what happens, I’m not their leitmotif, which is the base of their lives: Violence, hatred and death, because too many people remained silent.” The daughter of a Jewish cantor from Saarbruecken in western Germany, Bejarano grew up in a musical home studying piano until the Nazis came to power and tore her family apart. Bejarano was deported to Auschwitz, where she became a member of the girls’ orchestra, playing the accordion every
time trains full of Jews from across Europe arrived at the death camp. “We played with tears in our eyes,” Bejarano remembered. “The new arrivals came in waving and applauding us, but we knew they would be taken directly to the gas chambers.” Bejarano survived, but her parents and sister Ruth were killed by the Nazis. For the past 20 years Bejarano has played music mostly from the past – Yiddish melodies, tunes from the ghetto and Jewish resistance songs – with her children Edna and Yoram in a Hamburg-based band called Coincidence. About two years ago, Kutlu Yurtseven, a Turkish immigrant rapper from the Cologne-based

Joan Rivers, the subject of the documentary “Joan Rivers – A Piece of Work,” poses for a photo with a fan during the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
Rivers promotes film at Sundance PARK CITY, Utah (AP) – Forget hitting the ski slopes, grabbing bags of swag, or long, luxurious nights by the fire. Joan Rivers was working the Sundance Film Festival. “It is so frustrating to be at Sundance because you can’t see anything but your own movie,” said Rivers, who attended the festival in support of the documentary “Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work,” directed by Ricki Stern and Anne Sundberg. The film premiered last week. “Everybody’s saying, ‘Did you see this? Did you see this?’ ” the 76-year-old comedian said. “You go, ‘No! No! No!’ ” The film offers both a seriously funny and just-plain-serious look at Rivers. Rivers joked about promoting the doc-
umentary. “I really hate it,” she said. “I can’t get to the gifting booths. We barely made our way into one of them. And there was nothing left but extra-larges. So, I’m very bitter about Sundance, if you want the truth.” But, she added: “Of course, it’s a great honor.” Rivers said she had no influence on the content of the documentary. “Once they said, ‘Let’s do it,’ it was their’s to do,” she said. However, she did grant the filmmakers access to her life. “You’re going to do a documentary, you’ve got to have access,” she said. “Otherwise, it would become stupid.” The 2010 Sundance Film Festival wraps up today.
Microphone Mafia, got in touch with the band to see if they’d team up with them. “Our band wanted to do something against the growing racism and antiSemitism in Germany,” Yurtseven, 36, said in a phone interview. “Yoram told me that first of all he had to ask his mother Esther what she thought about a crossover project with a bunch of young rappers.” Esther Bejarano, it turned out, thought hip-hop music “was really a bit too loud,” but also said she saw it as a good way to reach out to Germany’s youth. “We want to keep the memories of the Holocaust alive, but at the same time look into the future and encourage young people to take a stand against new Nazis,” she said.
CLEVELAND (AP) – A Bruce Springsteen exhibit is sticking around for an encore at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Cleveland museum announced last week that its exhibit on The Boss Springsteen will remain there for the rest of 2010. The collection of Springsteen artifacts, handwritten lyrics and guitars had been scheduled to close this spring. “From Asbury Park to the Promised Land: The Life and Music of Bruce Springsteen” is one of the most extensive exhibits on a rock star ever presented at the hall. Springsteen, a 1999 hall of fame inductee, contributed many of his own items, including the guitar he holds on the cover of “Born to Run.”

Runners, baring your soles makes you well-heeled WASHINGTON (AP) – Harvard biologist and runner Daniel Lieberman had a simple question: “How did people run without shoes?” The answer he got is: Much better. At least running barefoot seems better for the

The study concludes that people seem to be born to run – barefoot. The research was funded in part by a company
that makes minimalist running shoes that try to mimic barefoot running. People who grew up running barefoot – such as boys in Kenya’s Rift Valley province, which is known for endurance running champs – tend to land mostly on the front or middle of the foot when they touch ground. And when these runners do use shoes, they continue to run in that way. People who have always worn cushioned running shoes usually hit the ground heel first. The difference in the way the foot strikes the ground is important. Lieberman’s study examined the physical stresses on feet with different types of running and found that people with running shoes strike the ground with the mass of the entire leg, nearly 7 percent of the body. That’s more than three times the weight of impact for barefoot running.
Study: Dino tail feathers were carrot colored WASHINGTON (AP) – Scientists have for the first time confirmed color in a dinosaur. Don’t think purple Barney, but reddish-orange Conan O’Brien. The first solid proof of pigmentation has been spotted in the fossilized tail feathers of a smallish meat-eating dinosaur found in China and named Sinosauropteryx. The creature seems to have russet colored rings, according to a paper published online last week in the journal Nature. That 125 million-yearold tail has the same internal cellular coloring agents as the hair of a red-haired person, said study lead author Mike Benton, a professor of paleontology at the University of Bristol in England. And the same finding provides what some outside experts say is even more conclusive evidence that some dinosaurs had feathers,

Tears of a clown: Economy shrinking children’s parties BY LISA ORKIN EMMANUEL ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
D
AVIE, Fla. – Ooopsy the Clown threw in a bubble machine for the monkeythemed party marking Nicholas Castillo’s first birthday. She usually charges extra, but what’s a clown to do in a recession that has some parents throwing less extravagant celebrations for their kids? Ooopsy, aka Amy Tinoco, estimates the entertainment company she co-owns took in about $80,000 before taxes and expenses last year. That’s about $46,000 less than in 2008. She used to do an average of 12 parties a weekend. Now it’s down to three. “I didn’t realize how good it was,” said Tinoco, who wore a red wig, multicolored skirt and blue clown shoes for Nicholas’ bash. “It’s a huge difference. I have a lot of people telling me they are having a party, they are just not having entertainment and catering.” Party planners and parents around the country have seen a pullback, though they agreed some will always take kid birth-

David Tutera, a New York-based event planner, said his clients still want to have parties, but they’re not making them quite so lavish. “I think they are not getting the $5,000 birthday cake for their 5-year-old,” he said. “They are still going to have the fun theme party. ... It’s not going to be so opulent.” Chandra Turner, executive editor of Parents magazine, said
many kid birthday parties were so huge they were more like mini weddings. “I think that parents for a while there were doing everything they could to make the birthday parties as amazing, and extravagant as possible,” she said. The magazine recently did an informal study of the subject, asking 2,264 readers how much they expected to spend on their children’s next birthday. Twenty-six percent said less than $75, 49 percent said $75 to $200, 19 percent said $200 or more, and 6 percent said they didn’t know. Extravagance in kid birthday parties, as in life, clearly means different things to different moms. Lisa Castillo, Nicholas’ mom, went well beyond any of the magazine’s dollar figures, but she did cut back her initial plans. She estimates that she probably spent under $1,000, switching to pizza over a full Italian buffet to help trim expenses. There were personalized, laminated placemats for some younger guests, custommade crayon holders in the goodie bags and a monogrammed bib for Nicholas.

t’s probably no surprise that homeowners who have faced the ordeal of foreclosure feel a certain measure of shame or guilt about their experience. Whether or not those feelings are warranted, it’s hard to survive the process completely unscathed. What is surprising is the recent development of “buyer’s guilt.” Some who are fortunate enough to afford to take advantage of a low-priced foreclosure offering are suffering some degree of remorse about the transaction.
Whether it’s because they got a deal that none of their friends or family did, or whether they just feel badly about someone else’s REAL ESTATE unhappy situKen ation, the emoWall tions are real, ■■■ but should be approached in a different way. These buyers are not necessarily capitalizing off someone else’s misfortune, but actu-

If you have some doubt about buying a foreclosure, you can ease your concerns and do some good for others.

Sellers should cut emotional ties to property F
or several years after her husband’s death, a widow in her 60s clung to the Georgian colonial house where she’d raised her four children. She wanted to sell and downsize to a maintenance-free condo. But for sentimental reasons, it took her offspring several years to let go of the property. “They didn’t want to give up their childhood residence. Meanwhile, the widow feared she’d see a lot less of them if she sold her house,” recalls Mark Nash, the real estate broker who listed the property. How did the family ultimately manage to cut their ties to the homestead? At the suggestion of Nash, the owner calculated her full annual cost to maintain the home, located in an upscale suburb. This sum came to $38,000, which included her mortgage payments and upkeep expenses. She then summoned her kids to a family meeting to go over her plans, telling them she’d keep the house if they handled the maintenance; if she sold it, she’d sponsor a family vacation every year. “Not surprisingly, they opted for the trip,” Nash, author of “1001 Tips for Buying and Selling a Home,” says. Many empty nesters with happy memories of their years spent in a family home resist selling their property for sentimental reasons, even though they wish to embark on an entirely different lifestyle. Also, many kids push back against a sale. Do you or your family members have strong sentimental ties to a property that needs to be sold for one reason or another? If so, these pointers could prove useful: • Do a financial analysis of your carrying costs. Ashley Richardson, a Coldwell Banker agent affiliated with the Council of Residential Specialists (www.crs. com), says many homeowners take a more sober view of selling after they’ve run the numbers on the cost of keeping their home. “Look at the big picture. Include your mortgage payments, taxes and insurance costs, as well as your cleaning and landscape expenses. Also, be sure to project what you’d have to spend on capital improvements going forward, like the price of the new roof you expect to need in a few years,” Richardson says. To do a full financial analysis of a planned housing transition, she says you may wish to consult a trusted financial adviser. “To be sure you’re on solid ground, have a frank discussion about your plans with an accountant you know well or the branch manager at your bank. This will give you the feeling that you’re on solid ground as you move forward,” Richardson says. • Start searching for your next dream home. With 17 years of experience in real estate behind her, Richardson has gained a key insight into the emotional
bond many people have to a long-time residence. She says it’s often possible to transfer this attachment to another home. Consequently, she recommends that sentimenSMART MOVES tal sellers start looking Ellen for their next residence Martin as soon as they put their ■■■ property on the market or even earlier. “This way you’ll more quickly detach from the house where you’ve been living for a long time,” Richardson says. However, she urges those making a housing transition to restrict their property search solely to neighborhoods with homes they can afford, so as not to set themselves up for disappointment later. • Clarify your housing plans with your grown children. Nash says that, like the widow, many empty nesters fear that selling a long-held property will mean fewer visits from family members. Yet lots of would-be sellers want to liberate themselves from the costs and maintenance requirements that a large property requires, so they can “pursue other interests.” For instance, the widow chose to live more simply in order to have extra time to pursue her volunteer activities. She also wanted more time to promote her community arts council. Of course, the woman didn’t need her children’s permission to sell her house. But she felt it was important to talk with them before finalizing her decision. “By moving, she wanted to redefine herself. And she wanted her kids’ support in doing so. This was an important part of her process of letting go of the house where she’d lived for many years,” Nash says. • Clear out and depersonalize your house throughout. To break the emotional ties to their property, it helps many people to sort through and remove sentimental items. Nash suggests that you give away or pack away family-related items, including toys and children’s books. And he recommends you remove family photographs from your walls. “While you’re at it, you’ll need to paint the interior walls of your house,” he adds. Neutralizing your property will not only help you detach from the place emotionally. It will also make it easier for you and your listing agent to attract buyers. “People aren’t going to pay more because your house is filled with memories. In fact, having lots of memorabilia on display will only slow the sale of your property because it keeps people from picturing themselves living there,” Nash says.
