Prosecutor says office received signed letters accusing candidate Elsewhere...

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

RANDOLPH COUNTY – A Randolph County assistant district attorney said Thursday his office has received signed letters that accuse Trinity City Council candidate Mike Robertson of child molestation and authorities of covering it up.

Robertson says he believes the letters are in

retaliation for a molestation conviction in a case involving his granddaughter. Both Robertson and authorities have denounced the letters as bogus. Robertson also has hired a High Point attorney to begin the process of filing a civil lawsuit against anyone affiliated with circulating anonymous letters that accuse him of child molestation.

King Dozier, who served as the lead prosecutor in an August case that convicted an Archdale man of indecent liberties with the granddaughter, confirmed several of the

letters that his office has received are anonymous, but many with similar wording have been signed

by James and Gladys Carter, the parents of 19year-old Gerald Carter II. Gerald Carter was convicted of two counts of indecent liberties with Robertson’s now 6-yearold granddaughter.

Carter was sentenced to 36 months in prison

by Randolph County Superior Court Judge V. Bradford Long in August. James Carter could not reached for comment

by The High Point Enterprise Thursday, and ef-

forts to reach other family members this week have been unsuccessful.

Robertson, a political newcomer, has been the target of letters circulating in the community and to the media that make numerous allegations against him, including that he molested family members and students at New Hope Christian Academy, a school he owns in Thomasville.

The letters come from a group called “Concerned Citizens of Randolph County.”

District attorney expresses empathy for Robertson’s family RANDOLPH COUNTY – Randolph County prosecutor King Dozier said his “heart goes out” to the family of Trinity City Council candidate Mike Robertson, who has been the target of an anonymous letter-writing campaign.

Dozier, who was lead prosecutor in the case that in August convicted 19-year-old Gerald Carter II of indecent liberties with Robertson’s now 6year-old granddaughter, said he himself has been

the target of similar accusations by the same group.

“My heart goes out to the victim’s family on that because all of the false accusations that are being sent anonymously,” Dozier said. “...

It bothers me because it makes it so hard for (Robertson’s family) to go ahead with their lives. It’s one thing to go through a trial and the offender is convicted, but then all this barrage of false accusations.”

The letters, which have been circulated throughout the community and

to various media outlets, allege Robertson molested his granddaughters and students at New Hope Christian Academy, while also claiming he bribed state officials to cover up the allegations.

In multiple unsigned letters to media outlets and Trinity residents, Concerned Citizens of Randolph County attacks numerous agencies, including the Archdale Police Department, the Thomasville Police Department and the Randolph County’s District Attorney’s Office for

Greensboro resident who shot intruder won’t be charged

Fugitive under house arrest back in custody ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

RANDOLPH COUNTY – A Trinity man who was on the run after being under house arrest for an attempted murder was placed back into custody Thursday.

Charles Gray Gordon, 42, was allegedly involved in an assault that took place at 5985 Jim Pierce Road in Trinity on Sept. 7.

The incident resulted in two victims being taken to the hospital.

Gordon was placed under house arrest with the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office, but removed his monitoring device.

GREENSBORO – An 80-year-old man who shot an intruder inside his apartment will not face criminal charges.

The Guilford County District Attorney’s Office will not charge Charles Haithcock, who fatally shot 19-year-old Michael Lamont Medley Jr. on Oct. 14.

Haithcock was inside his apartment on 1125 Walnut St. before dawn that morning when Medley broke in through a window carrying a weapon.

Haithcock shot Medley with a handgun while Medley was inside the residence. Medley later

died at Moses Cone Hospital.

“The law says that Mr. Haithcock had the right to use deadly force against an intruder that’s in his home when he believes that his own life is in risk, which that belief is pretty reasonable,” said Assistant District Attorney Howard Neumann.

Even if Haithcock hadn’t seen a weapon in the suspect’s hand, Neumann said that Haithcock could have used deadly force if he believed that the intruder in the residence was about to commit a felony.

In this case, Medley was suspected of attempting to commit burglary.

Neumann gathered

from evidence that Haithcock was in his bedroom when Medley removed an air conditioning unit from a window and broke into his home.

Haithcock heard a noise outside of the hallway near his bedroom.

He, armed with a .25 caliber handgun, opened the bedroom door to find a man holding a weapon.

Neumann said it was a BB gun.

The elderly man tried to slam the door to his bedroom, as the intruder tried to open it. Haithcock blindly shot Medley three times through the door. Medley was shot twice in torso and once in the head, Neumann said.

“We can’t speculate on longer-term volume expectations at our mid-Atlantic hub, but remain confident that the economy will improve. And when it does, we will be in a strong position to handle additional volume,” said Jim McCluskey, FedEx spokesman at the corporate headquarters in Memphis.

PTIA receives two revenue streams from FedEx – fees from planes landing and rent from the hub complex.

“The rent is constant. The revenue from the packages goes up as they bring in their planes to pick up the packages,” Johnson said.

So as the pounds of freight and number of planes for FedEx increase, it helps the airport financially, he said.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A Davidson County man facing charges of sexual misconduct involving a child was arrested this week on suspicion of trying to intimidate the alleged victim in the case.

Davidson County sheriff’s deputies received a report Wednesday that Russell Garland Mecimore had made contact with a female juvenile witness in a pending court case, deputies said.

Mecimore allegedly traveled to Brunswick County, picked up the girl and brought her to Davidson County. Sheriff’s detectives investigated the incident and charged Mecimore with intimidating a witness.

Mecimore, 41, of Easter Circle, Lexington, was arrested Wednesday and taken to the Davidson County Courthouse, where he was processed without incident,

according to the sheriff’s office.

In December 2008, sheriff’s detectives charged Mecimore with four counts of statutory rape/sex offense with the defendant greater than or equal to six years older than the victim, and one count of second-degree kidnapping, deputies said.

Mecimore is scheduled to stand trial on those charges on Nov. 30 in Davidson County Superior Court.

Authorities said the female juvenile he is charged with intimidating is the alleged victim in the pending case.

His bond was set at $250,000 for the Davidson County charges.

Mecimore also was served with a warrant from the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office for child abduction, according to authorities. Officials in that county assessed a $250,000 bond against him for that charge.

Quake hits Afghan, Pakistan; no casualties ISLAMABAD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A strong earthquake hit Afghanistanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hindu Kush mountains Thursday, shaking large areas of the country and neighboring Pakistan, officials said.

There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage from the quake, which struck at 10:14 p.m. (1744 GMT) and was centered in a remote part of the Hindu Kush mountains, about 160 miles north of Kabul. Given the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s isolation it could take many hours for such reports to emerge.

One of the passports is German, belonging to a man by the name of Said Bahaji.

ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

AP

Students protest against the visit of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, in Lahore, Pakistan, Thursday. Clinton is on a three-day state visit to Pakistan.

Clinton scolds Pakistan over al-Qaida inaction ISLAMABAD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton chided Pakistani officials Thursday for failing to press the hunt for al-Qaida inside their borders, suggesting they know where the terror leaders are hiding.

American officials have long said that al-Qaida mastermind Osama bin Laden and senior lieutenants of the network accused in the Sept. 11 attacks operate out of the rugged terrain along the border with Afghanistan.

But Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unusually blunt comments went further in asserting that Pakistanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government has done too little about it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I find it hard to believe that no-

body in your government knows where they are and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get them if they really wanted to,â&#x20AC;? Clinton said in an interview with Pakistani journalists in Lahore.

Clinton â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the case. Maybe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not gettable. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know.â&#x20AC;?

There was no immediate reaction from Pakistani officials, but the thrust of Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments were startling, coming after months of lavish public comments from her and other American officials portraying Pakistanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaders as finally receptive to the war against

militants inside their own country.

As a political spouse, career public official and recently as a diplomat, Clinton has long showed a tendency toward bluntness, sometimes followed by a softening of her comments.

BRUSSELS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The European Union fought Thursday to live up to its self-proclaimed leadership on combating climate change, with the 27 EU leaders at odds over how much to offer poorer nations to join the global battle.

Nine eastern EU states said they would rather walk away from the two-day summit without an agreement than be forced into a deal for billions of euros that would stretch their budgets too much.

Threats range from Taliban violence to possibly early winter snow.

Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s woes only one problem in Birmingham

Landmark legislation

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Interim Mayor Carole Smitherman took over Thursday after her predecessor, Larry Langford, was convicted on 60 felony counts for bribery and kicked out of office.

Across a park from City Hall, officials at the Jefferson County Courthouse are trying to avoid filing the largest municipal bankruptcy ever, a mark the governor says would stain the entire state.

Philly teens sentenced in fatal subway attack PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Three teens convicted of beating a man on a dare, causing his fatal asthma attack on a Philadelphia subway platform, were sentenced Thursday to more than 12 years in prison. Sean Conroy, 36, found himself cornered and alone on the subway platform near City Hall in March of last year.

He died as Ameer Best, 18, and 17-year-olds Nashir Fisher and Kinta Stanton joined two others in beating the Starbucks manager.

Dugard case couple appear in court PLACERVILLE, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Northern California couple charged with kidnapping and raping Jaycee Lee Dugard made a brief appearance in a courtroom Thursday for a hearing that gave two people with personal stakes in the case their first glimpses of the defendants in court.

Phillip and Nancy Garrido were in El Dorado County Superior Court for two minutes before they were ordered to return for another case update on Dec. 11.

Teen guilty of 4 slayings in Rochester, N.Y. ROCHESTER, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A high school dropout, either acting alone or with help, stabbed, shot or bludgeoned four people to death during two robberies over the Christmas holidays last year, a jury decided Thursday.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California gestures while speaking about health care during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington Thursday. Pelosi said Congress is at a â&#x20AC;&#x153;historic momentâ&#x20AC;? with lawmakers on the health care issue.

House Democrats unveil health bill, cheered on by president WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cheered

by President Barack Obama, House Democrats rolled out landmark legislation Thursday to extend health care to tens of millions who lack coverage, impose sweeping new restrictions on the insurance industry and create a government-run option to compete with private insurers.

But even as party leaders pointed toward a vote next week, there were fresh questions that went to the heart of their ambi-

tious drive to remake the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care system.

Congressional budget experts predicted the controversial government insurance option would probably cost consumers somewhat more than private coverage. At the same time, rankand-file conservative Democrats sought additional information about the billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall impact on federal health care spending.

There was no official estimate on the total cost of the legisla-

Obama considers â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;McChrystal Lightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Afghan war plan WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; President Barack Obama is considering sending large numbers of additional U.S. forces to Afghanistan next year but fewer than his war commander, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, prefers, U.S. officials said.

Such a Obama narrowed military mission would escalate American forces to accomplish the commanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broadest goals, protecting Afghan cities and key infrastructure. But the optionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scaled-down troop numbers likely would cut back on McChrystalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most ambitious objectives, amounting to what one official described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;McChrystal Light.â&#x20AC;?

Under the pared-down option, McChrystal would be given fewer forces than the 40,000 additional troops he has asked for atop the current U.S. force of 68,000, officials told The Asso-

ciated Press on Wednesday.

Senior White House officials stressed, however, that the president has not settled on any new troop numbers and continues to debate other strategic approaches to the 8-year-old Afghanistan war. The officials say Obama has not yet firmly settled on the narrowed option or any other as his final choice for how to overhaul the war effort.

The president saw the impact of the war firsthand early Thursday, flying to a military air base in Dover, Del., where he silently viewed the return of the remains of 18 Americans who died recently in Afghanistan.

tion, which ran to 1,990 pages.

The Congressional Budget Office said the cost of additional coverage alone was slightly more $1 trillion over a decade. But that omitted other items, including billions for disease prevention programs.

Yet another $230 billion or more in higher fees for doctors treating Medicare patients, included in an earlier version of the bill, was stripped out and will be voted on separately.

The measure â&#x20AC;&#x153;covers 96 percent of all Americans, and it puts affordable coverage in reach for millions of uninsured and underinsured families, lowering health care costs for all of us,â&#x20AC;? boasted Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., at a ceremony attended by dozens of Democratic lawmakers. She spoke on the steps of the Capitol, not far from where Obama issued his inaugural summons for Congress to act more than nine months ago.

Military notified too late in errant flight WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The U.S. military would have launched fighter jets to track down an errant Northwest Airlines flight that overshot the Minneapolis airport if officials had been notified sooner, a top commander said Thursday as federal authorities defended the decision to revoke the licenses of the pilots involved.

Obama appears leaning toward ‘Vietnamization’ News reports state President Obama is considering a scaleddown version of the plan his top commander in Afghanistan has requested, termed “McChrystal Light.”

Does anyone remember Vietnamization? A scaled-back effort requiring the Vietnamese troops to do more than what they were ready to do. It was a miserable failure then and will be a miserable failure now. This is what happens when idiot politicians try to lead professional soldiers when they know even less about the military than they do about running a government.

Our government is printing dollars at an ever-increasing rate. Recovery is crawling, jobs are still going down the toilet and the next step will be inflation. Remember Jimmy Carter? Gas spiraled out of sight, home loan interest rates were at 20 percent and above all due to an impotent, incompetent president who would have served the country better by planting his head in a hole to watch his peanuts grow in Plains, Ga. Government health care is on the horizon. Remember Hillary care? This is the same thing only bigger and more complicated.

Medicare was only 43 pages long when Lyndon Johnson introduced it and look at the mess it is now!

False allegations mar election

T

he relatively exciting municipal elections in Trinity this year took a decidedly ugly turn this week as copies of an anonymous letter began appearing in the Trinity area assaulting the character a Trinity City Council candidate.

The letter, attributed to an apparently fictitious group called Concerned Citizens of Randolph County, accused Mike Robertson, who operates a private school in Thomasville, of a number of crimes, including child abuse. The letter also alleged cover-ups by local and state law enforcement agencies. Robertson and the legal authorities say the allegations are baseless and false.

Fortunately, Robertson and no one else believes the attacks come from any of his political opponents. Robertson suspects they stem from personal matters, and he is pursuing possible legal action. It is for certain, however, that Concerned Citizens of Randolph County has violated state election laws. The organization, if it even exists, failed to file with state election authorities as a political action committee or group.

Let’s hope those responsible for creating this stain on Trinity’s election are found and prosecuted.

A QUICK THOUGHT

---

S

ometime next week, we’ll know the winner of Trinity’s Ward 1 race between Debra Lynn Frazier and Kristen Varner.

After election results are certified, City Council immediately should appoint the winner to the vacant Ward 1 seat, quickly putting her to work, not waiting, as is tradition, to the December City Council meeting to swear her in.

Halloween freedom makes it a wide-open holiday

H

alloween trends are telling.

Just ask Robert Thompson, a popculture expert and the founding director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University.

Here’s an interesting trend: Halloween has fast become the second-most-decorated holiday. Jack-o-lanterns and goblins and lighted trees are all over the place now.

Halloween spending has risen to nearly $5 billion annually – not bad for a non-gift-giving, non-government-sanctioned holiday.

And more adults than ever are dressing up.

“The post-World War II years were the golden age of Halloween for kids,” says Thompson, “a trend that continued into the 1980s. But in the last 20 years, Halloween has been reclaimed by adults.”

Which makes perfect sense. Through most of history, Halloween was for adults.

The origins of Halloween date back to pagan times. During harvest celebrations, the Celts dressed up in costumes to ward off ghosts and demons.

As Christianity spread, the Catholics introduced All Saints’ Day (All Souls’ Day).

The holy evening before All Saints’ Day – All Hallow’s Eve – embraced many of the Celtic traditions.

But I think there is another reason why more adults are embracing the Halloween spirit: It’s one of the last bastions of free expression in America.

“It’s the one day where almost anything goes,” says Thompson. “Adults can be a wise guy or do something outrageous they’d never do normally.”

Such as dress like a trollop. Seductive vampire, police officer and French maid costumes are among the most popular for women.

Thompson says adults generally pick costumes that mock or satirize the popular culture.

This year, according to the National Retail Foundation, Kate Gosselin wigs are a hot item and “balloon boy” costumes are sure to be a hit.

But politics are mostly out.

Few will dress as nurses this year due to fatigue over the health care debate.

Last year, many wore costumes that

mocked John McCain and Sarah Palin, but many more – Thompson says this broke Halloween norms – wore costumes that reflected admiration for Barack Obama.

This year, Obama has become a mere immortal, as OPINION demonstrated by this hot-selling vampire mask: “BarackuTom la” Obama.

Purcell In any event, as our culture ■■■ loses its sense of humor – as people are ready to shout or sue at every slight – Halloween is growing in popularity because, for the most part, people can express themselves openly and honestly.

Sure, some groups find Halloween offensive. Some Christians refuse to celebrate it – they say it is a celebration of the dark side. And some witches and warlocks complain that it mocks their religion.

It’s true that more schools are banning Halloween celebrations – one school in Seattle did so, in part, because of its offensiveness to Wiccans. If schools have a party, they call it “Autumn Day” or “Harvest Day.” Costumes are forbidden.

It’s true that some costumes are considered taboo. The “illegal alien” costume – it comes with a space alien mask and orange jumpsuit – has caused a stir.

And you won’t see too many people dressing as hobos or beggars or Klansmen – that would be inconsiderate.

But Halloween is mostly wide open. It’s a widely celebrated secular holiday because it’s the only day of the year when people can freely do or say or be anything they want.

No wonder it’s growing in popularity among adults.

“In an era when getting drunk at the office Christmas party can lead to a harassment charge,” says Thompson, “Halloween remains the one day we can, for the most part, misbehave in peace.”

COMMENTARY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2009 www.hpe.com

In Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay, Obama must have had no plan O

ver the last month, our nation has focused a great deal of attention on Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s substantial troop request for our mission in Afghanistan.

This is the sort of matter which we should be talking about, because the debate between a counter-insurgency versus counter-terrorism approach, which is at the heart of this decision, is sure to set the tone for policies and missions well beyond the Afghan borders.

But as important as the debate is, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and field commanders are reminding us that there comes a point where the lack of action makes the decision for us.

This troop request comes with a reasonable window of opportunity attached. The president’s continued inaction on this front and his failure to come to a conclusion on a long-term strategy for our mission in Afghanistan creates uncertainty for our troops on the ground and puts into question our resolve in the ongoing war against international terrorists and those who OPINION aid and abet them.

MICHAEL However, REAGAN another key ■■■ component of our approach to combating terrorism and terrorists is also lingering without a conclusive plan and course of action – the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility and the handling of the remaining detainees. While the troop level debate has drawn all recent attention, this policy decision is also one with tremendous impact.

As you will recall, on Jan 22, 2009, President Obama signed executive orders regarding Guantanamo Bay, interrogation techniques and detention policies. One of the executive orders required that Gitmo be closed within a year.

However, as the months passed, it has become obvious to all, including the administration, that such a timetable was unfeasibly aggressive. In fact, to date even some of the most basic aspects of closing the

F

such a plan will be forthcoming. You can be sure I won’t be holding my breath.

Recently, the city council of Standish, Mich., took the initiative by voting 6-0 in support of the city’s willingness to proceed with plans that would allow the transfer of the remaining Guantanamo Bay detainees to the soon-tobe closed maximum security facility located in their small Midwestern town. Word is they would have passed the resolution even sooner had they not been trying so hard – and failing – to get straight answers out of Washington.

So while Congress passes measures allowing for transfer of detainees once a plan is developed and an administration asks to close the facility without any clear direction on how, at least we can count on the Standish City Council to take decisive action.

Perhaps once they have settled the matter of Guantanamo Bay, the town of Standish could help President Obama along by voting on a resolution concerning troop levels in Afghanistan. That is the type of decisive leadership that is certainly absent in Washington these days.

welfare programs. It’s now late-October 2009, and the trillions of dollars, borrowed without taxpayers’ consent, is growing to the point it’s making taxpayers think, “Who’s going to own America when the interest isn’t paid?”

I further pointed out that Social Security belonged only to taxpayers that had worked and should be their retirement! Folks, through corrupt and greedy politicians, Social Security has been borrowed against for illegitimates and people not wanting to work, leaving nothing for the people that paid money in. Democrat and Republican taxpayers, of all races, should be outraged by the radical and socialist proposed health care. Anyone, with common sense, should have guessed that 1,012 pages (unread by politicians as usual) wasn’t about health care but about hidden agendas and building a bridge over the sand in the Arizona desert.

What’s really going to happen to Social Security since there’s no one working to pay into the system for future generations? Do you think the politicians are going to continue to hand you a check that you’re not entitled to?

Politicians say you must volunteer and give back to your community! By the way, why don’t politicians get off their duffs and volunteer at homeless shelters and without the Secret Service, since this costs taxpayers. While I’m on a roll, they also could donate 11 months of their salaries and retirement benefits to taxpayers who are having to work two jobs just to survive due to the politicians’ incompetency!

By the way, taxpayers should pledge to fight socialized medicine!

rom 1998 until 2004, I asked the National Republican Congressional Committee why taxpayers couldn’t get honest answers from politicians of all affiliations. The form letters they sent in return, handstamped, written by a staffer, made me wonder where the greedy politicians stayed all the time. It further told me that politicians had no interest in anything except their very deep pockets.

The economy never fully recovered from the 1970s due to lack of American businesses, higher taxes, plastic cars and other overpriced consumer products.

These greedy politicians should have been concentrating on America’s future.

Politicians should have started cutting their salaries, retirements, taxing and spending and going over the high-dollar budgets, line by line, until everything was cut back 50 percent.

The enormous debt brought about by incompetent politicians, high salaries, retirements, social and welfare programs and frivolous overspending should have stopped.

Instead, it’s now boiled over like a runaway train. The only thing the greedy politicians can say is “I inherited this debt!”

Instead of cutting and changing what should have been done, their way of thinking is still, “We’ll stimulate the economy with more bailouts and handouts and, once the great recession ends, we’ll reduce the deficit.” A little late, wouldn’t you say? All economists and taxpayers, know the politicians will never get control of the imbalances – therefore, it’s time to hand out pink slips.

I pointed out that all manufacturing jobs had to be brought back to America.

We couldn’t be a “service country.” The only thing America is servicing is unemployment, social and

base remain undecided.

Whether the facility is closed

by January 2010 or at a later date is not the only subject for discussion here.

Rather, this quandary serves as yet another example of this administration’s inability to set and execute effective strategies when it comes to our fight against terrorism. With a backlog of detainees waiting for trial and no clear plan on where to house them once the facility itself is closed, it is clear just how vital it was for the administration to come up with a comprehensive plan before pronouncing the closure of the facility.

Obvious as this is, it seems to have escaped the Obama administration, not just back in January, but even now, late in October.

Last week, the administration achieved a minor “victory” with the Senate’s passage of an amendment to the $44 billion Homeland Security budget which will allow the government to continue to transfer detainees from the facility to the United States for prosecution – with the very telling caveat that before any additional transfers take place, the administration put a plan in place.

Yes, you heard that right – the Senate will allow terrorist suspects to come to the United States once the president actually comes up with a plan on what do with them once they are here.

Gunman sought in shooting at synagogue LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A gunman shot and wounded two men in the parking garage of a North Hollywood synagogue Thursday, frightening worshippers who heard gunshots and screams before the bleeding victims stumbled in during morning services.

Authorities initially put Jewish schools and temples on alert before saying the attack appeared to be isolated.

RICHMOND, Calif.

(AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Wearing bulletproof vests, three teen suspects appeared for the first time in court Thursday on charges of gang raping a 15-yearold girl outside a high school dance while as many as two dozen people watched without calling police.

Defendant Cody Ray Smith, 15, pleaded not guilty, while Ari Abdallah Morales, 16, and Marcelles James Peter, 17, did not enter pleas during their arraignment in Contra Costa County Superior Court.

Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aunt, Monica

Peter, said before the hearing that her nephew had told her he was only a bystander and did not participate in the attack.

Asked why he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything to stop it, she said he feared â&#x20AC;&#x153;he would get his ass kicked.â&#x20AC;?

The defendants wore the vests for protection, but sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spokesman Jimmy Lee could not explain further. Morales was sporting a black eye from a separate incident, authorities said.

Reports have indicated onlookers laughed and joked during the attack.

Hitting on education

Registered Nurse Beverly Essick of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center was elected to the North Carolina Board of Nursing.

The board issues and renews licenses, investigates complaints against nurses and approves education programs leading to initial licensure throughout the state.

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – State health officials have launched a Web site to help restaurant and bar owners adjust to a new smoking ban.

Under the new law, most restaurants, bars and lodging establishments that serve food and drink will go smoke-free Jan. 2.

“This change is historic for North Carolina and will have a significant positive impact on public health,”

INSIDE

----

Most establishments that serve food and drink will go smoke-free Jan. 2. said Gov. Beverly Perdue.

“By banning smoking in our restaurants and bars, we will greatly reduce the dangers of secondhand smoke and lower health care costs for families. Our goal is to make sure North Carolina’s families and businesses have the information they need about the hazards of second-hand smoke and how to implement the new law.”

County health departments will enforce the new ban through a complaint process. The law makes the health director responsible for compliance. Many health directors will send compliance information to businesses by mail.

The N.C. Restaurant and Lodging Association provided Web site information for recommended no smoking signs. There also are downloadable fact sheets, and other tools.

The rules require restaurant and bar owners to post no smoking signs, remove all ashtrays and to tell smoking patrons not to smoke.

After a couple of warnings, a customer could be fined $50, and a restaurant or bar owner $200 for an infraction. Smokers and business owners could appeal infractions to the Board of Health for a special hearing and then to the courts.

Approximately 24,000 establishments are covered by the new law, according to the governor’s office.

SMOKE BAN

—

The law: G.S. 130A497 makes virtually all indoor areas of restaurants and bars in the state smoke-free after Jan. 2. Exemptions include tobacco and cigar shops and country clubs or nonprofits, such as an Elks Lodge. The new law does not ban smoking in private places of employment.

C.J. Beatty, a former player for the HiToms and N.C. A&T State University, talks with Hasty Elementary School students Thursday.

Local pro speaks to Hasty Elementary School students

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – For C.J. Beatty, a visit to Hasty Elementary School provided an opportunity to give back to the community that helped him make it to Major League Baseball.

Beatty, who was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals this year, gave a motivational speech to Hasty students Thursday afternoon. Beatty, who attended North Carolina A&T State University, helped lead the Thomasville HiToms to a 2008 Coastal Plain League championship.

“The most important thing is to give back to the community,” he

said. “Regardless of the size of the school and regardless of the publicity, I’m not here for that. I’m here for the children. I’m here because somebody was there for me growing up, and I just want to give back.”

Arriving at Hasty Elementary just after 1 p.m., Beatty took time to sit in the gymnasium with students, shaking hands and letting students wear his St. Louis Cardinals ball cap.

Beatty, 21, called the appearance “very humbling.”

“I thank God for this opportunity,” he said.

“This opportunity is one in a million. Just to come back and give back to the city of Thom-

asville is so good.”

While giving his motivational speech, Beatty emphasized the importance of education and the fact that “practice makes perfect.” He told the youngsters, “You just can’t wake up one morning and just be the best.”

“My mother always taught me and my father as well, you have to do your school work,” Beatty emphasized. “I’m not going to talk to you all day about playing baseball professionally. I could tell you about making money and driving cars, but none of those things would be possible if you don’t have an education.”

Malice Higgs, a fifth-

grade student, was one of several youngsters who received autographed baseballs from Beatty.

“I liked it so much,” Higgs said of the autograph. “This is going to be my first time getting a baseball signed by a professional baseball player.”

Jane Withers, Hasty’s principal, welcomed Beatty’s visit to the school. “It was just an honor to have someone from the nearby community to be involved with our children,” she said. “I think it’s good anytime children can interact with a positive role model – especially, one who puts his emphasis on getting an education.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Fire officials emphasize attention to smoke alarms

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Local fire officials are recommending that residents take a key safety precaution this weekend.

With clocks about to be adjusted to accommodate the end of daylight savings, firefighters stress that this is an appropriate time to change the batteries in smoke alarms and test them to make sure they’re working properly.

“We definitely want everybody to try and change those (smoke detector) batteries when they’re up and about changing the clocks, and then of course testing them to make sure they’re working properly once they have installed the battery,” said Capt. Denita Lynch of the High Point Fire Department.

“We’re just stressing the fact that these things really do save lives and without them, your chances of not making it out are doubling.”

AT A GLANCE

—

High Point residents in need of replacing smoke alarm batteries or those who have questions or concerns about their smoke alarm may contact Capt. Denita Lynch with the High Point Fire Department at 883-8551 and assistance will be provided at no cost.

Most fire deaths occur in homes where no smoke alarm is present or if there is a device, it either has no battery or a non-working battery. Lynch said this has been the case with a lot of the fires in older homes in the city. Fire issues involving detectors aren’t as much of a factor in newer homes, since they are supposed to have smoke detectors hardwired into their electrical systems.

“A lot of the older homes have

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

that problem, or it could be that the smoke detector is so old that it no longer functions anymore, because they usually recommend you change them about every 10 years,” Lynch said.

City residents can go to any High Point fire station and obtain a smoke detector battery. Lowincome, elderly or disabled residents who need a smoke detector can obtain one from the fire department and have it installed by firefighters.

Officials also suggest changing carbon monoxide detector batteries, since the onset of colder weather means heating units, gas logs and fireplaces will be in use more.

“We take them for granted, but we need them and we need for them to be working,” Lynch said.

“Just having it up there isn’t going to do us any good.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Mike Grace, 24, a student at Wake Technical Community College, is shown in a chemistry lab on the north campus in Raleigh on Thursday. A study of Census data by the Pew Research Center shows the share of Americans age 18-to-24 attending college hit a record high in October 2008. But enrollment in four-year colleges was flat; virtually all of the increase of 300,000 students nationally over the previous year came at two-year schools.

“It’s not just middle-aged people coming back to school and very poor people any more,” said Mike Grace, 24, a student at Wake Technical Community College in Raleigh, N.C., who plans to transfer to nearby North Carolina State next spring. “I’m seeing what I would consider to be relatively rich kids coming to school.”

As a broader range of traditional-age college students choose a community college, “it doesn’t have the stigma it once did,” Grace said.

I told her I won’t talk to her while she’s driving because I don’t want to be a party to an accident she might be involved in, so she has stopped calling me altogether.

Don’t these self-described multitaskers realize they are operating machines that can kill them or others while they shift their focus from the road?

Dear Abby: My twin sister, “Karina,” Dear and I will Abby be seniors ■■■ this year, and we’re starting to look at colleges. It has always been “assumed” that Karina and I would attend the same college and be roommates. However, I think it’s time for some separation. We’re very close, and I would like us to attend the same college, but I think we should consider having different roommates.

Karina is hurt and upset that I don’t want to continue sharing a room with her, pointing out that we’ve been “roommates” our entire lives and get along well, so why argue with success?

as much as you love your sister, the time has come for both of you to explore your individuality. While the concept may be foreign to her, what you are contemplating would be a healthy opportunity for both of you. As the daughter of an identical twin, I can assure you that some degree of separation will be healthy and give you both a chance to grow.

Dear Abby: I am not ugly, but I am very unphotogenic. I take terrible pictures. At family weddings, I know photos are necessary and I cooperate. But the rest of the time I do not want to be photographed. Isn’t this my right?

How can I, without offending anyone, prevent people from taking my picture? And am I the only person who feels this way? – No Pictures, Please, Kansas City

Halloween is observed annually on October 31 in the United States. Halloween is primarily a chilYPES OF ANDY ORD EARCH drenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holiday in which kids dress up in costumes Circle the words hidden in the and go door to door in their neighborhoods to repuzzle to ďŹ nd the different ceive candies and treats. This practice is known as types of Halloween candy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trick or Treating.â&#x20AC;? The holiday originates from the HIDDEN WORDS: Catholic holiday of All Saints Day. This is the anButterďŹ nger, Crunch, Hersheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, nual celebration of all the Catholic saints in heavJunior Mints, Kit Kat, M & Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, en. Most of these celebrations were agricultural in Mars Bars, Milky Way, Mounds, nature, due to the time of year. When the holiday Nutrageous, Payday, Reeses, was created, saints were also referred to as beSkittles, Snickers, Sugar Daddy, ing â&#x20AC;&#x153;hallow,â&#x20AC;? or holy. The night before the holiday Three Musketeer, Tootsie Roll, was known as All Hallows Eve, hence creating the Twix, Twizzler, York Mint modern name of Halloween. Over time, one of the festival traditions established was for children to dress up in costumes of all sorts, not just scary ones. From this autumn-time celebration, Halloween was born.

In the U.S., children look forward to carving pumpkins with faces or pictures and lighting them up with candles. This is called a jack-o-lantern, and it is usually placed on the front porch of your home. The custom of carving pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns originated in Ireland and Scotland centuries ago. Before the tradition came to America, the Irish and Scottish used to carve turnips into jack-o-lanterns. When these people came overseas, they realized that pumpkins were much more plentiful than turnips, and from then on pumpkins were used.

COMPLETE AND COLOR THE HAUNTED HOUSE! The most important thing to remember about Halloween is safety! Always â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trick or Treatâ&#x20AC;? in groups that are chaperoned by one or more adults. Wear costumes that are visible to cars on the road, and always carry a ďŹ&#x201A;ashlight for added safety. Never go to houses that are not lit up, and make sure you only visit the homes of people you know or that your parents say are safe to go to! If it is cold where you live, wear warm clothes underneath your costume. Follow these rules and the ones that your parents give you, and you will have a fun. Happy Halloween!

Leg pain can indicate artery disease

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I have tried to stay healthy by walking every day. I was doing two or more miles. Now I can barely get a mile done.

After walking a short distance, I have to stop and rest and wait for the calf pain to leave before I can start once again. Could this be a circulation problem? If so, what can I do for it? – S.J.

BLONDIE

It sounds like a circulation problem – peripheral artery (vascular) disease, PAD. Here, “periphery” (outer boundary) refers to the legs, and much less often to the arms. “Artery disease” indicates artery clogging, the same kind of artery clogging that leads to heart disease when heart arteries are involved. Although calf pain is the most common manifestation of PAD, the pain can also occur in the buttocks, the hips or the feet.

It all depends on which artery is blocked.

Pain occurs because muscles are not getting the blood they need to keep working. You have to rest when you walk to give your muscles a chance to recover from their deprivation of blood.

There’s not a whole lot you can do for this. You have to lose weight if you’re carrying too much.

You have to lower blood pressure if it’s high. You have to control your cholesterol if it’s elevated.

And you have to continue with your exercise, just as you are now doing. These are the things that keep arteries healthy.

You also have to work with a doctor. First the doctor can confirm the

diagnosis of PAD by measuring the blood pressure at your ankle and comparing it HEALTH with blood pressure in Dr. Paul your arm.

Donohue The two ■■■ pressures should be the same. If the ankle pressure is lower, that’s evidence of PAD. You’ll probably have to take medicines to get some of the above goals accomplished, like cholesterol-lowering. Pletal (cilostazol) can improve blood flow to exercising muscles.

Unplugging the leg arteries is another approach to treatment. That can be accomplished with balloon dilation of those arteries, just as it is done with heart arteries, or it can be done surgically, by replacing the clogged section of artery with a graft.

The booklet on peripheral artery disease explains this common malady in detail. Readers can order it by writing: Dr. Donohue – No. 109, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6.00 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Allow four weeks for delivery.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I realize this isn’t a serious health problem, but I would like to know what causes dark circles under my eyes. Could it be a sign of something? If it isn’t, what can I do to get rid of them? People are always

asking me if I am sleeping well. I do. – D.E. Those circles are a genetic thing. You have inherited skin that is very thin and transparent.

The color of venous blood shows through the skin beneath the eyes. The circles don’t come from a lack of sleep.

Allergies might be related to them in some people.

Allergies dilate veins so their color is more pronounced. You should have some other allergy symptoms if this is the case – itching eyes and nose, runny nose, sneezing.

The skillful application of cosmetics can usually hide these circles.

Dear Dr. Donohue: What is the purpose of taking aspirin for prevention of heart attacks? My doctor told me to start taking a baby aspirin every day. I don’t think I have a heart problem. – L.B. Aspirin prevents clots from occurring in arteries. A clot that forms in a heart artery is the basis for a heart attack. Heart disease kills more people than any other illness. Aspirin keeps blood platelets from sticking together. It’s the adherence of platelets to one another that forms the clot leading to a heart attack.

Aspirin also dampens artery inflammation, another factor in clot formation.

DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters.

Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Living & learning Guilford Boomers helps seniors stay on the go

BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

L

ucile Hurley represents the new breed of senior citizen – the healthy, active, alwayson-the-go senior.

“I like to go to classes and learn,” the 73-year-old High Point woman says. “I’m active at the (Roy B. Culler Jr.) Senior Center, where I play bridge, and I believe 100 percent in volunteering. I believe it keeps you going and keeps you active.”

This week, for example, Hurley was one of more than a dozen senior citizens who participated in a holiday appetizer cooking class held at Laurel Oak Christian Church in High Point.

The class was sponsored by a new organization called Guilford Boomers, which falls under the auspices of Senior Resources of Guilford.

“Studies have found that baby boomers want their services and activities differently,” explains Ellen Whitlock, executive director of Senior Resources of Guilford.

“Many are still working and active in the life of the community, but they still want to explore and have new activities. So a group of participants formed the Guilford Boomers Advisory Committee, and they meet monthly to plan activities for boomers.”

Upcoming activities for Guilford Boomers include another cooking class focusing on holiday appetiz-

ers, a self-defense class for holiday shoppers, a grilling class for men, an outing to Red Oak Brewery, and health and wellness activities such as exercise classes.

Events already planned include the holiday appetizers class, which will be held Wednesday, and the selfdefense class, scheduled for Nov. 12.

“The self-defense class will be a lecture and demonstration on how to protect ourselves when we’re out shopping, because as we all know, crime seems to increase during the holidays, so this class will be offering some self-help tips for people,” Whitlock says. “The class will be followed by lunch at Carter Brothers.”

The establishment of Guilford Boomers is a reflection of the growing population of baby boomers and the need to provide appropriate services for that population, according to Whitlock.

“Our population is aging, and there’s been just a huge influx of boomers,” she says.

“These are folks that are very healthy, very active and want to continue to contribute back to the community. Part of aging successfully is maintaining your health and continuing to be active, to volunteer, and to take advantage of learning opportunities, so you will be a happy, healthy older adult.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Dentist asks kids to donate leftover Halloween candy to troops ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

A

High Point dentist has some sweet plans for your excess Halloween candy.

Dr. Lee Bass Nunn hopes to promote the anti-decay movement while thanking U.S. troops overseas with the inaugural Dr. Lee Bass Nunn’s Sweet Tooth Spooktakular.

“We want kids to have fun on Halloween by dressing up, trick-or-treating and eating their fill on Halloween night,” Nunn says. “They can even save a few choice pieces for themselves, but bring the rest to

us. Visiting your dentist twice a year and brushing daily are great preventative measures, but doing away with excess sweets would really give your teeth a healthy boost.”

Global sugar consumption for kids increases by about 2 percent annually and currently sits at 50 million tons per year, which means parents need to be sure their kids’ teeth are being cared for more than ever, Nunn says. Candy, as well as hurting children’s teeth, can lead to hyperactivity and weight gain, and in some cases, the wrong types of candy can also lead to broken teeth

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

and damaged braces, she says.

Candy will be collected at Nunn’s office Monday between 3:30 and 6 p.m.

In return, children will receive a goodie bag with a Flashing Fire-Fly Toothbrush and a free kids’ meal to Gianno’s Restaurant (while supplies last).

Nunn, in conjunction with Operation Gratitude, will ship the candy overseas for the troops to enjoy.

Nunn’s office is located at 200 W. Lexington Ave., Suite 101.

“I couldn’t ask for a more perfect wife,” a fan writes. “She even helps with the dishes. Still, I questioned her defense here.”

Against four spades, my fan led the king of diamonds, and his wife played the eight.

“I led the ace and a third diamond. She ruffed and led a club, and South’s queen won. He took the ace of trumps, went to dummy and led a trump to his jack. Making four.

DOUBLETON “My wife’s club shift cost nothing; South could have pitched a club on the jack of diamonds. But wasn’t her signal at Trick One imperfect? She said she played high with a doubleton.”

East’s signal showed “attitude”: whether she wanted diamonds continued. “Count” signals are used when attitude is irrelevant. Since East wants a club shift, not a diamond ruff – she has a trump trick – she must play the deuce of diamonds. If West leads a club next, South fails.

Incidentally, when South finessed in trumps, he insulted East. South assumed that East had signaled carelessly.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 5 3 H A K 9 8 D J 10 7 3 C A 9 4. Your partner opens one spade, and the next player passes. What do you say?

ANSWER: NorthSouth’s system in today’s deal was antiquated: North’s 2NT showed balanced pattern and 12 to 15 points. Many modern pairs treat a raise to three spades as “limit” and use a 2NT response as a conventional forcing raise.

In that case, the proper call is two diamonds. A response of two hearts would suggest five or more hearts.

Don’t take anything for granted. Don’t make donations or contributions you cannot afford. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll find it difficult to express your personal needs. Once you see the implications that can arise from your actions, you will have a better idea what’s required of you.

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

McPrank: 4 Utah teens cited for McDonald’s rap AMERICAN FORK, Utah (AP) – Four Utah teenagers have been cited for disorderly conduct after they rapped their order at a McDonald’s drivethrough.

The teens say they were imitating a popular video on YouTube. They rapped their order, which begins with, “I need a double

cheeseburger and hold the lettuce ...” once quickly before repeating it more slowly.

Spencer Dauwalder says employees at the restaurant in American Fork told him and his friends they were holding up the line and needed to order or leave.

Dauwalder says nobody

was in line. The group left without buying anything.

The teens were later cited by police officers who tracked them to a high school volleyball match.

The Associated Press on Thursday left messages seeking comment with the American Fork police and Oak Brook, Ill.-based McDonald’s.

It’s a technological world, after all I

in the box with the full expectation to return it to Costco, where I always buy such tech stuff, as they have the most liberal and no-questionsasked return policy.

Usually, some sanity or A DAD’S maybe pride returns and I either figure it out or, POINT embarrassingly, call the OF VIEW help line where I’m put on hold for four days afBruce ter pressing 257 buttons Sallan on the self-help menu, ■■■ until I finally get to speak to someone with a heavy accent that I don’t understand, in some country in a distant time zone.

Now, all of the above is sort of an exaggeration. It is usually much worse.

LOL (now, I’m testing you). I’m capable of learning new things but these episodes often remind me of a wonderful article I read years ago titled, “Why Can’t They Make It Like a Refrigerator?” It was about the simplicity of buying and using a fridge compared to the struggles, especially when that article was written so many years ago, with buying and setting up computers.

This is where having kids is finally starting to pay off. They grew up with technology and it’s not only part of

love technology. I hate technology.

I get so frustrated with technology.

All of the above. That’s my generation and definitely me. My friend Marty is a tech wizard, while my wife is still using computers primarily for e-mail. I’m somewhat in the middle with my knowledge and depth of tech use and dependence, though my boys laugh at my attempts to learn anything new. But, it’s hard to resist all we hear about what every new tech gadget has to offer, especially for us men (a.k.a. boys and their toys).

When I get a new tech device, like a digital camera for instance, I am very excited by the purchase and I take it home with pride and eagerness. I carefully place it on my desk where it usually sits for a week or so until I muster the courage to open the box. Then, I take out the various parts of the device, and ask for some help to lift out the user manual. On viewing this lengthy document, in 42 different languages, I sit down discouraged, and place all the pieces and the manual on top of the just opened box, where it will sit for another week or two. A strong drink will finally give me the courage to start the learning process.

What inevitably follows is that I get stuck somewhere in the process and disgustingly pack all the parts back

their everyday vocabulary, but it’s an integral part of their lives, possibly in this boomer’s opinion, to a destructive degree. The notion of playing outside has vanished with my boys, as their play generally revolves around some sort of screen, and there are so many – television, computer, game, cell-phone, etc. The importance of all their screens has even changed the way we punish our kids, as a therapist once advised me. They lose screen privileges as the consequence for poor behavior. The worse the offense, the more screens are prohibited.

My point, however, is that my older son actually can help me now. The down side is that I have to hear his sigh and subject myself to his disdain at his old man’s complete lack of being “with it.” They say all things come around, and this is just how I felt and acted when my parents just couldn’t figure out how to program and use their new VCR. In all seriousness, I value what technology offers us but I also see a considerable downside. Our jobs as parents become more difficult when we have to monitor and be aware of all the things that can “attack” our children from these tech sources. There are programs we can buy that supposedly

limit what our kids can find on the Internet as well as simple ways we can check their recent searches. But, being a policeman in this regard isn’t what I signed up for, but is clearly part of the contemporary job of parenting. It is equal in importance to being aware of any sort of drinking, smoking, or drug abuse. I’m fond of saying that all we can do as parents of teens is do our best to keep them alive, until some sort of sanity hopefully returns.

My next challenge is Twitter and learning to tweet. I’ve been told, along with Facebook, that it’s actually a useful tool to market one’s business.

So, eagerly, I googled, found, and then went to the Twitter Web site. Like the unopened box of the new camera, computer, or other tech device I tend to let sit on my desk, I’ve looked at that Twitter tab for days now. A recent power outage took it away and relieved me of dealing with that one, for now. Whew.

Children learn their part in swine flu prevention

BY BETSY TAYLOR ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

S

T. LOUIS – Mention swine flu to a young child, and odds are pretty good you’ll get a blank stare.

But an increasing number of kids can tell you that the Sesame Street character “Elmo” sneezes properly into the crook of his arm, and if they sing the whole “ABCs” song while washing their hands they’ll get them really clean. They’re also well acquainted with hand sanitizer, anti-bacterial wipes – and their germfighting abilities.

Children may not understand what H1N1 influenza is, but about 1 in 5 in the U.S. already had a flulike illness in October, according to a telephone survey released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Doctors and childcare specialists believe kids, even young ones, have a role to play in limiting the spread of the virus that surfaced earlier this year and is a threat to young people.

On the Web...

Sesame Workshop: www.sesamestreet. org/parents/topics/ health/flu National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies: www.naccrra.org/ “I don’t think it can be solely their responsibility, but partnering with them and their families on their health can only be a good thing,” said Dr. Alexis Elward, medical director of infection control for St. Louis Children’s Hospital, which has put in place the strictest disease prevention measures in staffers’ memory.

At the hospital on Monday, several patients in the playroom – and the adults with them – wore protective paper masks while they painted wooden toys or hovered over a “Thomas the Train” playset. The hospital is considering plans to broadcast a party over closed-circuit televisions this year,

to keep hundreds from gathering together at the celebration to turn on the holiday lights.

“We’re balancing risk versus benefit,” Elward said.

Zachary Biggs, 7, of Chester, Ill., was staying at the hospital after having chin surgery. At his age, some H1N1 education had taken hold.

“If you get the swine flu, you have to come to the hospital and get medicine. You have to wash your hands, so you don’t get it,” he said. He added that he’s trying to keep his hands away from his nose, mouth and eyes to keep germs ay bay, and: “You can sneeze into a tissue, and then you should throw it away.”

Day cares and schools are also newly focused on preventing the flu’s spread. Children as young as 21⁄2 can understand the fundamentals, said Linda Smith, executive director of the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies.

UNC hoops starts early ACC BASKETBALL NOTES

B

y the time the rest of the ACC opens the 2009-10 college basketball season, North Carolina will have played two games in the made-for-TV Coaches vs. Cancer Classic.

Remarkably, the Tar Heels debut Monday, Nov. 9 in the Smith Center against Florida International, then take the court at home again Nov. 11 vs. N.C. Central.

While N.C. State opens Nov. 12 at home against GeorSPORTS gia State, other Atlantic Coast Steve Conference squads Hanf are idle until the ■■■ weekend.

So what does Roy Williams think about the early start?

“Last year I would have loved opening the season with the number of practices we have this year,” explained Williams, whose team loaded with experienced and talented players opened a championship season Nov. 15.

“Last year we had 25 practices before our first game and this year it’s 16.

“I’m a guy who’d always like to start our practice Nov. 1 and not play games until the Friday after Thanksgiving, and I think the season would be fine,” Williams continued. “I mean, we could have basketball games while they’re still playing the World Series. That’s unusual.”

He’s not far from the truth.

Weather-permitting, the Yankees and Phillies are slated to be done

by Nov. 5.

ABOUT THAT OPENER...

Florida International caused a stir last spring with the hiring of Isiah Thomas. The Golden Panthers were back in the news at the end of August in a scheduling snafu that captured national attention.

The Tar Heels released their schedule with FIU in the opener in the Coaches vs. Cancer event.

FIU officials said they were playing Ohio State. The whole thing took about a week to resolve before the Panthers finall agreed to play in Chapel Hill.

“I didn’t care about all that junk that was going on,” Williams said.

“They had their reasons for making their statements. I knew on Nov. 9 I was going to show up and play against who was on the other end.”

Williams and Thomas go back a long way – all the way to the 1981 national championship game, when Thomas led his Indiana Hoosiers over a UNC team featuring Williams as an assistant to Dean Smith. They’ve interacted a number of times since then, Williams said.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY UNC served up one heck of an appetizer to its 100th basketball season with the alumni game that brought 21,750 people to the Smith Center on Sept. 4 to take in Tar Heel legends such as Vince Carter, Antawn Jamison, Jerry Stackhouse, Danny Green,

WHO’S NEWS

Inside...

----

Dome no home for ACC Tournament. 4D Marvin Williams, Sean May and Brendan Haywood competing in an alumni game.

Williams pressed officials in the athletic department for an alumni game kicking off the centennial celebration after watching Kansas Jayhawk legends miss out on similar fun.

“I was fortunate in 1997-98 to be involved in the 100-year anniversary of Kansas basketball. I thought we did some great things,” Williams said. “Two years ago I started talking to (athletic director) Dick Baddour and everybody that I wanted this to be a year-long celebration. At Kansas we had an old-timers’ game (that) filled up Allen Fieldhouse: 16,300 people. But I sat there and said, ‘Gosh, it’d be great if our pros could be there. So I told our people that I wanted to have a pro-alumni game in August or September because those guys can’t come back.

“So this was the first thing,” Williams continued. “I said, ‘I want a book, I want a video, I want a reunion, I want an oldtimers’ game.’ This was the first thing, and it was great.”

BLOWING THE WHISTLE Wake Forest coach Dino Gaudio is pleased about one major rules change this year and on the fence about another.

In regards to defensive players under the basket trying to draw charges, Gaudio said he’s fine with anyone in that 18-inch by 24-inch box from the backboard to the front of the rim being whistled for a block. But all the coaches would prefer lines painted on the floor, like in the NBA, to mark the area.

“We have great officials and they almost always get it right with ‘did he step on the sideline, did he go over backcourt?’ They never make that mistake when the line’s there,” Gaudio explained. “Why once again leave it somewhat arbitrary? My circle under the hoop may be smaller than your circle. Why add more uncertainty.”

In regards to the ACC’s stated crackdown on unnecessary and excessive celebration penalties, Gaudio couldn’t be happier.

“We live in such a narcissistic society nowadays,” he marveled.

“You see that manifest itself in all these kids’ social networks: MySpace, Facebook, Twitter.

That’s the society these kids are growing up in. I tell our guys I want you to play with emotion, but you make sure when somebody gives you a nice pass, the first thing you do is say ‘nice pass.’ When somebody takes a charge, you run over there and pick them up.”

If officials follow through on the calls, mugging for the cameras, screaming to the crowd and thumping one’s chest after a big dunk will draw technical fouls. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

T.W. Andrews’ quarterback Marquez Swinton (4) throws under pressure from Carver’s Jarvis Jones during Thursday night’s game at Simeon Stadium.

Carver stuffs Andrews, 21-0

BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – On a night when everything seemed to be in Andrews favor, nothing went right.

The Red Raiders needed only to notch a victory over secondplace Carver Thursday evening at Simeon Stadium to become PAC 6 Conference champions.

Senior Night proved unkind for the home team, however, as the Yellowjackets stunned Andrews 21-0.

Carver’s offense moved the ball quickly throughout the first half. The Yellow Jackets opened the scoring in the first quarter on a crossing pattern from Richard Daniels to Denzel Rice that resulted in an 88-yard touchdown.

With just over a minute remaining in the second quarter, Carver’s Mike Lawrence completed a 26-yard pass to Maurice Harris to make it 14-0 at the half.

Complicating matters for Andrews was a bend-but-don’tbreak defense that allowed 157 yards, but kept the Raiders out of the end zone. The most extreme example came in the second quarter, when Andrews strung together a 15-play, 66yard drive that resulted in a goal-line stand by Carver’s defense on 4th-and-1.

The momentum remained unchanged in the final two quarters thanks to more big plays

by Carver’s offense. BJ Lowery

broke things open in the third on a 53-yard TD run up the middle against a suddenly-porous Raider line and finished the contest with 15 carries for 109 yards.

Penalties and the inability to score from inside the red zone doomed Andrews offense. Quarterback Marquez Swinton remained fairly effective throughout, completing 7-of-12 passes for 66 yards, but threw two interceptions and was plagued by the penchant to turn the football over on his side of the field.

Lawrence – Swinton’s counterpart who completed the latter of Carver’s touchdown passes – also tormented the Raiders on defense, intercepting a pair of Swinton’s passes in the end zone for touchbacks to thwart promising drives.

One saving grace for Andrews (6-4, 3-1 PAC 6) may be next week’s matchups.

The Raiders will travel to winless Wheatmore while Carver (6-4, 4-0 PAC 6) must play host to Trinity.

While the Yellow Jackets hold all the cards, a loss to the Bulldogs could set up a three-way in the event Andrews dispatches Wheatmore.

Kansas overwhelming No. 1 in AP preseason hoops poll THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

For the second time in its storied basketball history, Kansas is No. 1 in The Associated Press’ preseason Top 25.

The Jayhawks were a runaway choice Thursday, receiving 55 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel to easily outdistance Michigan State, which was No. 1 on five ballots.

There was little suspense as to which team would top the

preseason poll. Kansas has all five starters and the top nine scorers back from last season’s team that went 27-8 and reached the third round of the NCAA Tournament. Texas, Kentucky and Villanova rounded out the top five, while North Carolina, a unanimous preseason No. 1 last season, was sixth. Kentucky received three first-place votes and Texas and North Carolina got one each. Purdue, West Virginia, Duke and Tennessee completed the top 10.

HIT AND RUN

A

few NFL points to ponder as we get ready for another big weekend of pro football action: •Not all Jets do their best work in the air.

No, I’m talking about flight crews overshooting their destinations.

The New York Jets stayed grounded with great success in Sunday’s 38-0 rout of the Oakland Raiders.

The Jets rushed for 316 yards against the Raiders as rookie Shonn Greene rambled for 144 yards and two touchdowns and starter

Thomas Jones added 121 yards and a score.

The Jets became only the sixth team in NFL history to rush for more than 300 yards in consecutive games. New York amassed 318 yards on the ground in an overtime loss to the Bills on Oct. 18. Prior to the Jets, the O.J. Simpson-led 1975 Buffalo Bills were the most recent team with back-to-back games of 300-plus rushing yards.

New York goes for three in a row when Miami visits on Sunday.

•The Indianapolis Colts continue to pad

their reputation as fast starters out of the gate.

The Colts crushed the Rams 42-6 on Sunday for their 15th straight regular-season victory.

It gave the Colts a franchise-record eighthconsecutive road victory and their fourth 6-0 start in five seasons.

Indy hasn’t skipped a beat with first-year head coach Jim Caldwell at the helm. The Colts target a 7-0 mark with a victory over visiting San Francisco on Sunday.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter has won the Roberto Clemente Award.

The Yankees captain was presented with the award Thursday before the start of Game 2 of the World Series between New York and the Philadelphia Phillies. The award is given annually to a major league player who combines community service with excellence on the field.

Jeter is being honored for his work with his Turn 2 Foundation, which supports programs that help young people recover from drug use to a healthier lifestyle. He hit .334 this season.

Clemente was a Hall of Fame right fielder with the Pittsburgh Pirates who died in a plane crash on Dec. 31, 1972, while trying to deliver supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua.

Allmendinger placed on probation follow DUI arrest MOORESVILLE (AP) – NASCAR placed driver AJ Allmendinger on probation Thursday following his arrest earlier in the day on a charge of drunken driving.

Mooresville police said Allmendinger failed a field sobriety test after he was pulled over. Late Thursday afternoon, Allmendinger was placed on probation until the end of the year by NASCAR for actions detrimental to stock car racing.

Allmendinger, who drives the No. 44 for Richard Petty Motorsports, said in

a statement he had drinks with dinner and made a mistake by driving afterward.

“I honestly felt fine, but I obviously should have erred more on the side of Allmendinger caution, particularly given what I do for a living,” Allmendinger said. “It was a bad judgment call and I apologize for that.”

RPM officials also released a statement. “I am deeply disappointed this

has happened,” team co-owner Richard Petty said. “AJ has accepted full responsibility for his actions and will work to make this right. On behalf of everyone at Richard Petty Motorsports we sincerely apologize to our fans and partners.”

Allmendinger is a major factor in RPM’s long-range plans, and team officials told The Associated Press that Allmendinger was going to be moved into Petty’s famed No. 43 next season. Best Buy is expected to sponsor the car.

It’s not clear how his arrest may af-

fect that relationship. Petty routinely shunned alcohol sponsorship, and refused to allow his teams to participate in NASCAR’s second-tier series when it was sponsored by Busch.

“If anything good can come of this, then hopefully I can be an example of being more aware of drinking responsibly and if even if you feel fine, take a cab, call a friend,” Allmendinger said. “Just don’t risk it. I will do my best to make it right and use this to learn myself and hopefully educate others.”

Blackmar, Sluman top Schwab Cup THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SONOMA, Calif. – Phil Blackmar and Jeff Sluman shot 6-under 66s in breezy conditions Thursday to share the first-round lead in the Champions Tour’s season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship.

After winning the AT&T Championship last week in San Antonio to earn the last spot in the season finale, the 6-foot-7 Blackmar had six birdies in a bogey-free round at Sonoma Golf Club. Sluman was even par at the turn, then birdied three of his first four holes on the back nine, eagled the par-5 16th and birdied 17.

Eduardo Romero, the Toshiba Classic winner in March at Newport Beach, was a stroke back at 67, and John Cook and Brad Bryant opened with 68s.

Charles Schwab Cup points leader Loren Roberts had two eagles in a 70. Fred Funk, 165 points behind Roberts in second place in the race for the $1 million annuity, had a 71. Jay Haas, the 2008 points champion, also shot a 71, while Bernhard Langer, the only other player in contention for the points title, had a 72.

Langer is 348 points behind Roberts, and Haas is 602 back. The players will receive a point for every $500 earned, making a victory worth $442,000 and 884 points.

KIM TAKES TWO IN SPAIN CASARES, Spain – American Anthony Kim won two round-round robin matches in the Volvo World Match Play Championship, while fourth-ranked Paul Casey lost twice to drop out of contention for a semifinal spot.

Kim topped the Seve Ballesteros Group with four points after beating Casey and Retief Goosen, both 3 and 2, at Finca Cortesin Golf Club. Scott Strange beat Casey, returning from a rib injury, 1-up. Goosen beat Strange 1-up.

In the Mark McCormack Group, Oliver Wilson beat Sergio Garcia and Martin Kaymer, both 1-up, and Robert Allenby topped Kaymer 1-up and halved with Garcia.

In Gustaf Larson Group play, Angel Cabrera beat Rory McIlroy 3 and 2, and Simon Dyson held off Henrik Stenson 3 and 2. In the Assar Gabrielsson Group, Jeev Milkha Singh topped Lee Westwood 5 and 4, and Ross Fisher edged Camilo Villegas 1-up.

No. 5 Cincinnati determined to stay in hunt SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) – Firstyear Syracuse coach Doug Marrone hoped Cincinnati would be undefeated when it came to town. He has his wish.

The fifth-ranked Bearcats (7-0, 30 Big East) visit the Carrier Dome on Saturday, fully intent on leaving with their unblemished record intact.

Heck, they can’t wait to play in a venue that can be deafening – depending on the score, of course.

“I’ve never been to New York before,” wideout D.J. Woods said.

“Last year, I got to go to Hawaii for a free trip and to Miami for a free trip, so now I’m traveling to New York. I’ve been around the world, it feels like, so I’m excited.”

Cincinnati is off to its best start since 1954, when it won its first eight games, and is on track to for its second straight Big East title.

Syracuse (3-4, 0-2) is 1-13 against ranked teams since the start of the 2005 season and has three conference wins in the past four years.

If something is going to give, it would appear to be the Orange.

Syracuse’s players don’t think so.

“I really like our chances,” tight end Mike Owen said. “We’re coming in probably more relaxed than ever. People aren’t really giving us a chance. They’ve got an explosive offense. We’ve got to control the clock, we’ve got to run the ball like we did last week. We’ve just got to come out here and play our game, come out with a win. That would help turn this program around.”

Syracuse has been tested often this season. Its schedule ranks as the 14th-toughest nationally, and the Orange already have played three teams from the Big Ten and two of the Big East’s more formidable foes in West Virginia and South Florida.

None of those teams quite measures up to the Bearcats. They rank second in the country in scoring (40.7) and passing efficiency (163.89), seventh in total offense (458.57 yards per game), and have the fewest turnovers in the nation with four, all interceptions.

Cincinnati is the only team in the

country that has not lost a fumble.

“That’s impressive,” Marrone said.

Cincinnati is expected to start backup Zach Collaros at quarterback for the second straight week while starter Tony Pike recovers from surgery to repair a protective plate in his non-passing arm. The stakes are high again for the Bearcats – they must win to stay in the debate about national title contenders.

The forced change at the high-profile position hasn’t had much of an effect so far. “They pretty much feel that whoever’s back there (at quarterback) is going to get it done,” Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly said.

“So I don’t know that it’s much of an issue with us.”

It sure doesn’t seem so. When Pike damaged the plate in his forearm two weeks ago at South Florida, Collaros came in and ran for a pair of touchdowns as the Bearcats pulled away in the second half for a 34-17 win. A week ago, in his first collegiate start, Collaros was 15 of 17 for 253 yards in a 41-10 home victory over struggling Louisville.

Source: Senna signs F1 deal with Campos RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) – Bruno Senna has signed a deal to drive next year for new Formula One team Campos.

A Brazilian official involved in the negotiations says the 26-year-old nephew of three-time world champion Ayrton Senna

completed a deal to drive for the Spanish team last weekend. No other details were disclosed and the official asked on Thursday not to be named because he was not authorized to discuss the deal.

Senna had said during this month’s Brazilian

Grand Prix that he was in talks with three teams, including Campos.

Before Ayrton Senna died at the San Marino GP in 1994 he had predicted his nephew would one day be an F1 star. He lauded his then 8-year-old nephew’s driving skills.

VIKING CLASSIC POSTPONED BY RAIN MADISON, Miss. – As an alternate who barely squeaked in, Shaun Micheel had to wait long enough to get into the Viking Classic.

Now, the former major champion is forced to wait even longer.

Thursday’s first round was suspended because of impending rain and wet conditions at Annandale Golf Club, pushing the tournament into a Monday finish and leaving officials hoping for better weather today.

“We’re definitely into Monday right now,” said Slugger White, the PGA Tour’s vice president for rules and competition. “Monday for sure.”

The first tee times for Thursday’s round were pushed back three hours because of the saturated course. Officials suspended the round before noon.

Dome no place for 2012 ACC Tournament STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

GREENSBORO – The ACC Tournament returns to Greensboro the next two years, and was scheduled for quite some time to visit Atlanta in 2012. But ACC officials recently announced that Philips Arena, not the Georgia Dome, will host the event.

“The feedback we have continued to get from our fans, donors, people associated with the tournament, is that while people at the Dome have done a fabulous job hosting, having our tournament in a traditional-size arena is the best thing for us,” ACC Commis-

Philadelphia Phillies’ Cliff Lee (34) gets a hug from Jimmy Rollins as Chase Utley gives him a high five after the ninth inning of Game 1 of the World Series against the New York Yankees late Wednesday night in New York. Utley homered twice and Lee went the distance on the mound as the Phillies won 6-1.

Lee, Utley share spotlight in Game 1 NEW YORK (AP) – Joe Girardi could take away one comforting thought after watching Cliff Lee shut down the New York Yankees.

“He can’t pitch every day,” the Yankees manager said.

Lee tickled his teammates with a hohum catch, made a behind-the-back snag seem routine and bamboozled the New York hitters the whole way, pitching the Philadelphia Phillies to a 6-1 win late Wednesday night in the World Series opener.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been nervous playing this game,” Lee said. “I try not to leave anything to chance.”

Lee could have been clowning around with his kids, it looked so easy. He outdueled CC Sabathia and Chase Utley homered twice as the defending champion Phillies kept rolling through October.

The Phils shut down Alex Rodriguez & Co. in the first Series game at the new

billion-dollar ballpark. Trying to become the first NL team to repeat since Cincinnati in 1975-76, the Phils’ current 17-4 postseason run is the best in league history.

Big Red Machine, meet the New Red Machine.

“We have confidence. We know we have a good team,” Utley said.

Game 2 was late Thursday night, with wily Pedro Martinez pitching for the Phillies against jumpy A.J. Burnett.

Lee stopped the Yankees with a spiked curveball, deceptive changeup and his usual pinpoint fastball, pitching a sixhitter while striking out 10 without a walk. He became the first since Don Newcombe in 1949 to fan double digits with no walks in a Series game.

The lefty blanked the Yankees until a run scored on shortstop Jimmy Rollins’ throwing error in the ninth inning. Lee improved to 3-0 with an 0.54 ERA this postseason.

Fox, Panthers gamble on Delhomme CHARLOTTE (AP) – You can’t miss the merchandise trailer in the parking lot on the walk from Bank of America Stadium to Carolina’s practice fields. It features a picture of Jake Delhomme getting ready to unload a pass. Underneath him proclaims the Panthers as 2003 NFC champions.

It only seems like longer than six seasons ago.

Battered by a barrage of interceptions and ugly losses, Delhomme resembles anything but a Super Bowl quarterback these days. But coach John Fox, perhaps holding onto old, fond memories or because he has no better option, is gambling the beleaguered 34-year-old can regain his form despite a stunning 21 turnovers in seven games.

Delhomme’s future, Fox’s job and the Panthers’ fortunes all depend on it. In Carolina, it’s became Jake or Bust.

“This is the same quarterback that a year ago

led us to a 12-4 record and a couple years ago an NFC championship and a Super Bowl,” running back DeAngelo Williams said. “Unfortunately, in this business you’re only as good as your last game and we didn’t play too well our last game. But my confidence has always been in Jake and will continue to stay in Jake.”

Fox has the same attitude. After toying with the idea of benching Delhomme after he threw three more interceptions in Sunday’s 20-9 loss to Buffalo, Fox decided to stick with Delhomme ahead of the inexperienced Matt Moore and A.J. Feeley, the journeyman who’s struggling to learn the offense.

The Panthers (2-4) have already matched last year’s loss total, have watched Delhomme throw an NFL-high 13 interceptions, and face road games at Arizona (4-2) and New Orleans (6-0) the next two weeks.

Whether it’s shrewd, stubborn or simply a bad move, Fox and the Panthers are either going to implode or resurrect their season with Delhomme under center.

“I feel good about it,” Fox said.

Judging by talk show callers and message board posters, the feeling isn’t mutual. Delhomme claims he’s a “hermit” during the season and shuts out the criticism. What’s bothering Delhomme is that with a 56.5 passer rating and Carolina’s leagueworst minus-14 turnover margin, he’s let down his teammates.

“I haven’t played well enough for them. That means more than anything else,” Delhomme said. “I’ve always felt that I’ve kind of been one that they can lean on in the tough situations and to fight through and I haven’t done that enough this year. That’s something that’s bothersome.”

sioner John Swofford explained during Operation Basketball.

The 2001 tournament at the Georgia Dome brought an NCAA record 182,525 fans to the event for a per-session attendance figure of 36,505. Those numbers dropped drastically last March, though, with 158,112 in all attending for an average of 26,352 fans.

Philips Arena will seat a few more than 20,000 fans for the tournament.

The Greensboro Coliseum (23,500), in addition to hosting the next two events, already is on the schedule for 2013 through 2015. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

HPU cross country set to host Big South league meet on Saturday

BY JON LITCHFIELD SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – The High Point University men’s and women’s cross country teams will compete for the Big South Championship on Saturday, and for the first time ever, they will have home-course advantage. The Panthers host their first-ever Big South Championship in cross country at Shady Oaks Kennel, which is located at 4000 High Point Road in Winston-Salem.

The championship consists of a men’s 8,000-meter race at 10:30 a.m. and a women’s 5,000-meter race at 11:30 a.m. It’s just the second cross country meet that HPU has ever hosted, as the teams got a trial run at the Big South Preview on Sept. 19. That day, VMI won the men’s race, followed by Liberty and High Point, and Liberty won the women’s race, followed by VMI and High Point.

“On the men’s side, Liberty’s top two runners are way out there,” said HPU head coach Mike Esposito of WinstonSalem. “Sam Chelanga is untouchable and Evans Kigen is probably the next favorite. After that, there will probably be several runners in the hunt for third, including HPU’s Neal Darmody if he has a good race.

“As far as the team race goes for the men, we need to run what we’re capable of running and we will have a good shot to win,” Esposito added. “From a team standpoint, it’s probably Coastal Carolina, Liberty, VMI and us in the hunt for the win. We’re going to have to use our depth.”

The HPU men’s team has gotten stronger as the season has progressed and is currently ranked 11th in the Div. I Southeast Regional Poll as voted on by a committee of coaches. The only other Big South team in the rankings was Liberty at 15th.

HPU’s jump into the regional rankings came after the team’s win at the Blue Ridge Open on Oct. 16 in Boone.

The Panthers defeated 18 other teams at the meet, including Big South mem-

bers Coastal Carolina, VMI, UNC Asheville, Gardner-Webb and Radford. Sophomore Neal Darmody had a breakthrough race in Boone with his seventh-place finish. Asheville native Josh Morgan, a senior at HPU, placed ninth.

Saturday’s men’s race features one of the top runners in the country – and a world-class elite – in Sam Chelanga of Liberty. Originally from Nairobi, Kenya, Chelanga was runner-up at the NCAA Championship last fall, and in the spring of 2009 he set the NCAA record of 27:28.48 in the 10,000-meter run.

A trio of runners have taken turns leading the HPU women’s cross country team this season: seniors Joya Canfield and Geneva Winterink, and junior Emily Webb. Webb was the first Panther to cross the finish line in HPU’s last two meets, including a 35thplace finish in a loaded women’s race at the Blue Ridge Open.

That race was dominated by ACC talent, as Duke and Virginia Tech took the top two spots and HPU finished eighth.

“On paper, VMI is the favorite in the women’s race,” said Esposito. “Lori Crotts from Radford, Hannah Granger from VMI, Shelby Donahue from Coastal Carolina and Dacia Bushman from Liberty are some of the individual favorites. Coastal always runs well at the conference meet and Winthrop will probably have a few runners up there.”

“For our women’s team, Emily Webb, Geneva Winterink and Joya Canfield can all contend for the top 10,” said Esposito.

“We’re going to have our six through 10 runners go out there and take a chance, and if some things go our way we could contend for the women’s team title.”

High Point University got help from Gene Kirby, HPU Class of 1957, who owns Shady Oaks Kennel and let the University host the championship on his property.

Peppers warms up to new Panthers defense pers on a radio show when he managed just one sack in Carolina’s 0-3 start. Peppers has since recorded five sacks in three games, something he attributes to getting more comfortable with first-year defensive coordinator Ron Meeks’ system.

INJURY UPDATE Receiver Muhsin Muhammad missed his second straight practice with what Fox called a sprained knee. That mean underachieving Dwayne Jarrett could be the No. 2 receiver opposite Steve Smith on Sunday. Fullback Brad Hoover, who missed the Bills game with back spasms, practiced and said he feels “the best I have in probably five weeks.”

CHARLOTTE (AP) – Julius Peppers broke his silence, but had little to say.

Talking to reporters Thursday for the first time in a month, the Carolina defensive end said there’s “nothing to talk about” regarding his increased production in the past three games and wouldn’t discuss details of his address to teammates before a win over Tampa Bay on Oct. 18.

“That is something we did as a team and is private,” Peppers said.

Fox Sports reported Sunday that Peppers went in front of the team before the Buccaneers game and read a 5-minute statement in which he vowed he wouldn’t make excuses for his play. That came after linebacker Jon Beason called out Pep-

The Hornets boast one of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastest players in Romar Morris (94 carries, 894 yards, 12 TDs), who leads an option attack that also includes fullback Ike Whitaker (91 carries for 441 yards), QB John Knox (75 for 405) and halfback Dejoun Jones (56 for 243). Knox only has thrown 55 times this year, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got 10 TDs on 22 completions and no interceptions for his efforts.

Salisbury is averaging 34.9 points per game on offense, while a defense led by 390-pound nose guard Kiontae Rankin is allowing 13 points per contest.

Thomasville, meanwhile, has yet to allow a point in conference play. If the Bulldogsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense can rise to the occasion against the Hornetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; potent offense, a CCC championship will be likely.

The Dragons have lost six straight games â&#x20AC;&#x201C; closest among them an 18-6 setback to Lexington â&#x20AC;&#x201C; since beating Wheatmore and South Davidson early in the year.

West currently finds itself in the midst of its second three-game winning streak of the season. Sandwiched in between was a three-game skid against Watauga, Mount Airy and East.

SAT SA ATURDA DAY AY, Y, OCT. T. 31ST

Titans switch to Young at QB NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams wants more of Vince Young. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting just that with his winless team switching from veteran Kerry Collins back to the 2006 Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Coach Jeff Fisher announced the expected move Thursday following practice for the 0-6 Titans, and Young got the news from his coach in the morning.

Fisher insists it was an organizational decision resulting from the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winless start and that he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play musical chairs with the position. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a unique situation right now.

We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won a game. We wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be having this conversation if we were 33,â&#x20AC;? Fisher said.

That means Young will start Sunday against Jacksonville (3-3), the team that helped send him to the bench in the 2008 opener by picking him off twice and spraining his knee. Collins started 20 of the 21 games since then.

Young has eight career interceptions against Jacksonville with only three touchdown passes. He also has more career interceptions (33) than TD passes (22). But he has won five of his last six starts and is 18-11 as a starter. Young thanked Fisher for giving him a chance

to sit back, develop and learn from Collins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For him to give me a shot again to go out and give it a chance again is big for me because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been waiting,â&#x20AC;? Young said.

The move appeared inevitable since the Titans lost 59-0 at New England on Oct. 18. Adams told The Tennessean newspaper after that loss in New England that he wanted to see more of Young.

The No. 3 overall pick in the 2006 draft split the work evenly with Collins at practice Wednesday but took all snaps with the first-team offense Thursday.

Collins wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happy or surprised by the move, which came a day after the Titans started prepping for their next game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 0-6, then heads are going to roll. More times than not, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the quarterback,â&#x20AC;? Collins said.

Young started the meaningless regular season finale at Indianapolis last December, so this will be his first start under pressure since that 2008 season opener.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a game best known for Young being booed by the home fans and refusing at first to go back on the field until prompted by Fisher.

Stocks rise on improved economy NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks logged their best day in three months as investors rushed into the market on word the economy grew faster than expected during the summer.

The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 200 points Thursday to recoup most of its losses for the week, while demand for safe-haven holdings like Treasurys wilted.

The Commerce Department’s report that gross domestic product rose at an annual rate of 3.5 percent in the third quarter reinvigorated investors who had dumped stocks for much of the week on signs of a slowing housing market and a disappointing report on consumer confidence.

But many analysts caution that it will be hard to sustain the growth at the pace seen in the third quarter.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 199.89,

or 2.1 percent, to 9,962.58.

It was the best day for the Dow since July 15.

The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 23.48, or 2.3 percent, to 1,066.11, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 37.94, or 1.8 percent, to 2,097.55.

Bond prices fell, pushing their yields higher. The yield on the benchmark 10year Treasury note rose to 3.50 percent from 3.42 percent late Wednesday.

Bonds extended their early losses after a lackluster auction of seven-year notes.

The ICE Futures US dollar index, which measures the dollar against other major currencies, fell after five straight days of gains. The weaker dollar made commodities more attractive for foreign buyers. Gold rose $16.60 to $1,047.10 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange, while crude oil soared $2.41 to settle at $79.87 a barrel.

Foreign Exchange News that the U.S. economy is growing again drove the dollar lower as investors moved into riskier currencies.

to weaken without it.

If shoppers retrench in the face of rising joblessness and tight credit, the fragile recovery could tip back into recession.

For the Obama administration, the positive report on economic growth is a delicate one: It wants to take credit for ending the recession. On the other hand, it needs to acknowledge that rising joblessness continues to cause pain throughout the country.

Millions of Americans have yet to feel a real-world

benefit from the recovery in the form of job creation or an easier time getting a loan. Even those with jobs are reluctant to spend. The values of their homes and 401(k)s remain shrunken.

President Barack Obama called the report “welcome news” in remarks prepared for a small-business group but acknowledged that “we have a long way to go to fully restore our economy” and recover from the deepest business slump since the 1930s-era Great Depression.

“The benchmark I use to measure the strength of our economy is not just whether our GDP is growing, but whether we are creating jobs, whether families are having an easier time paying their bills, whether our businesses are hiring and doing well,” Obama said.

The rebound reported Thursday by the Commerce Department ended the record streak of four straight quarters of contracting economic activity.

Jobless claims drop less than expected drop to 521,000, according to a survey by Thomson Reuters.

The report came on the same day the Commerce Department said the economy grew at a 3.5 percent pace in the July-September quarter, snapping a record streak of four straight quarterly declines. But the economy isn’t growing quickly enough to spur much hiring.

Initial claims need to fall below about 450,000 to signal that employers are

actually adding jobs, several economists said. Still, many saw some positive signs in the report.

The number of people continuing to claim unemployment insurance benefits dropped 148,000 to 5.8 million, a steeper fall than expected and the sixth straight decrease. Those figures lag initial claims by a week.

That doesn’t include the nearly 4 million people receiving benefits from fed-

Recovery could be at risk, despite growth

WASHINGTON (AP) – The number of Americans claiming jobless benefits for the first time dropped less than expected last week, evidence that the labor market remains weak even as the economy is recovering.

The Labor Department said Thursday its tally of newly laid-off workers seeking unemployment insurance fell by 1,000 to a seasonally-adjusted 530,000.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Fueled by government stimulus, the economy grew last quarter for the first time in more than a year. The question now is, can the recovery last?

Federal support for spending on cars and homes drove the economy up 3.5 percent from July through September. But the government aid – from tax credits for home buyers to rebates for auto purchases – is only temporary. Consumer spending, which normally drives recoveries, is likely

GM extends vehicle refund program

DETROIT – General Motors says its money-back guarantee is going so well, it will extend the program through December.

The automaker launched its “May the Best Car Win” campaign in September as a way get consumers to try GM cars and trucks with minimal risk.

The program was slated to last 60 days and end Nov. 30. It will now last until Jan. 4, 2010.

The campaign includes advertisements comparing GM vehicles to those of competitors.

Jay Spenchian, GM’s executive director of the marketing strategy support group, says more people are considering GM’s four brands – Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick – and few vehicles have been returned.

Oil nears $79 on strong U.S. growth data NEW YORK – Oil prices rose to near $79 a barrel Thursday after fresh data showed that the U.S. economy grew faster than expected in the third quarter, raising hopes of a sustained recovery in demand.

By mid-afternoon in Europe, benchmark crude for December delivery had jumped $1.51 to $78.97 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

JetBlue to increase Boston flights NEW YORK – JetBlue Airways will boost its service from Boston Logan by 30 percent by next summer, as bigger carriers pull back and competition from rival Southwest heats up.

JetBlue, based in Forest Hills, N.Y., plans to offer up to 78 daily flights from Boston to 33 destinations.

That includes two more flights to Chicago and Raleigh-Durham, N.C., for a total of three daily flights each.

Geithner refutes claims of more bailouts WASHINGTON (AP) – Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Thursday that giving the government the power to dismantle mammoth financial firms like Lehman Brothers will prevent future bailouts.

In a House hearing, Geithner refuted angry claims by Republicans and at least one Democrat that the proposal would create a category of firms deemed so big and influential to the broader economy that they wouldn’t be allowed to fail.

“The only authority we would have would be to manage their failure,” Geithner told the House Financial Services Committee.

The Obama administration and Rep. Barney Frank, the panel’s chair-

man, want legislation that would enable federal regulators to identify and monitor big financial firms and step in to wind them down before they collapse.

Regulators have a similar authority with traditional banks but were powerless last year when investment bank Lehman Brothers and insurance giant American International Group teetered on the brink of collapse.

The government allowed Lehman Brothers to fail, helping to trigger the worst financial crisis in seven decades as nervous investors withdrew funds from money markets and credit lines froze. When it came to AIG, the Bush administration decided instead to swoop in with a hefty government bailout.

Exxon Mobil profit drops 68 percent NEW YORK (AP) – The world’s largest publicly traded oil company said Thursday that oil production is bouncing back with crude prices.

A worldwide glut in petroleum supplies may yet cool the latest surge in oil, squeezing refiners and keeping profits in oil patch well below their peak last year or even the past several years.

Exxon Mobil Corp. reported that profits

from July to September dropped 68 percent to $4.73 billion, or 98 cents per share. The results were the best of the year so far, but they’re less than a third of what Exxon earned in the same period of 2008, when crude prices spiked above $147 a barrel.

Excluding the previous two quarters this year, Exxon has not reported quarterly profits this low in the past four years.

P&G beats forecast CINCINNATI (AP) – The Procter & Gamble Co. sees budget-conscious consumers around the globe responding to price cuts and new products that promise to give them more for their money.

The world’s largest consumer products company reported better-than-expected first-quarter results Thursday and forecast a better outlook after a year of households cutting spending and trading down to cheaper brands.

Pampers reported profit was off 1 percent at $3.35 billion, or 1.06 per share, compared to $3.31 billion, or $1.03 per share, a year ago. Sales fell 6 percent to 19.8 billion. Analysts expected earnings of 99 cents on $19.83 billion for Cincinnati-based P&G. This was the first quarter under new CEO Bob McDonald, who has pledged to aggressively win back market share from lower-priced competitors and store brands. The company cut

prices across 10 percent of its broad portfolio, stepped up advertising focused on offering value, and adding cheaper versions of Pampers diapers and feminine-care and toothpaste products, but also new premium items such as Tide antistain laundry additives and Bounce fabric softener dryer bars.

“What we’re about is growth, and we’re focused on growth,” McDonald told investors on a conference call.

NEW YORK – Motorola Inc. reported an unexpected quarterly profit Thursday as operating losses in its struggling mobile phone division narrowed. The company also forecast strongerthan-anticipated earnings for the current period.

Motorola shares jumped 92 cents, or 11.6 percent, to $8.88 in midday trading.

The results marked Motorola’s second straight quarterly profit after months of heavy losses and shrinking market share in the cell phone business.

Lawyer: Target set for Stanford investors DALLAS – The lawyer charged with tracking down money lost in what authorities call R. Allen Stanford’s Ponzi scheme says he hopes to gain control of more than $1.5 billion to return to jilted investors.

Court-appointed receiver Ralph Janvey filed a report in federal court in Dallas, outlining his plan to go after $1.5 billion. That would give allegedly defrauded investors a return of 20 cents on the dollar.

Janvey has about $71 million in cash on hand and is pursuing the rest through lawsuits and other means.

John Little, a lawyer appointed to represent investors, says Janvey’s recovery goal is “something of a fantasy” and says investors should prepare to receive as little as 2 cents on the dollar.
