Time to prepare for Old Man Winter BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – State officials are reminding residents, businesses and schools to prepare now for winter weather. Gov. Bev Perdue declared this week as Winter Weather Preparedness Week in North Carolina, pointing out that the National Weather Service has said there is an increased chance of a wet winter and below-normal temperatures this year due to El Nino. “While we’ve been fortunate with fairly mild winters in recent years, we shouldn’t become

Carbon monoxide poisoning can result from charcoal fumes indoors. • Keep fresh batteries for flashlights and weather radios. • Always keep at least a threeday supply of non-perishable food in your home. • If driving on snow- or ice-covered roadways, reduce speed. Driving at the regular speed limit will reduce your ability to control the car if it begins to slide. Leave plenty of room between you and other vehicles.

Davidson solar farm charges ahead FILLING THE HALLWAYS: GTCC could hit record this year. 1B

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The first phase of construction to one of the nation’s largest photovoltaic solar farms in Davidson County is expected to be completed later this month. Construction Superintendent David Dzeima said phase one of the project should be ready to be turned over to Duke Energy Carolinas by Christmas. In May 2008, Duke Energy announced it would buy the entire electricity output of what was then going to be the nation’s largest photovoltaic solar farm to be built in Davidson County. Davidson County’s solar farm is now “one of the nation’s largest photovoltaic solar farms” because several other projects have been announced since last year, said Dave Scanzoni, a Duke Energy spokesman. Dzeima said construction at the 350-acre solar farm, which is located near New Jersey Church Road and Junior Order Home Road in the Cotton Grove township, started in August. It’s unclear when phase two of the project will begin, Dzeima said. “You want to have as

The panels are fixed so that they move to “follow the sun.” much as you can done by the first of the year, so you can get that stimulus money,” Dzeima said. “Everything you can get up and running by the end of the year, you can get rebates on.” According to Scanzoni, once phase one is up and running at Davidson County’s solar farm, the solar energy will generate nearly 4 megawatts, sup-

plying power to about 650 homes. Scanzoni said the entire project will generate 16 megawatts, which will give power to 2,600 homes. Duke Energy, which will purchase power from the solar farm’s owner, SunEdison LLC, for the next 20 years, expects to use power from the solar farm in the next 60 days, Scanzoni said.

Davidson County’s solar farm “helps us meet our requirements to comply with the law,” Scanzoni said. “We definitely see more solar initiatives in our future in North Carolina.” Steve Googe, executive director of the Davidson County Economic Development Commission, said he “absolutely” expects businesses to locate in Da-

vidson County because of the solar farm. “The solar farm really needs to get up and operational before I think we are going to attract a lot of attention,” Googe said. “We’ve had more inquiries about the solar farm and the status of the solar farm than anything we’ve ever done.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

ABCs can tell the story. 2A Triad area schools get average grades. 2A

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – School officials will take a careful approach in deciding whether to seek a slice of a possible federal grant to enhance teacher merit pay and to advance other school reforms. The district stands to gain an estimated $3.75 million a year for four years if the state wins a federal grant of as much as $300

million through the “Race to the Top” competition, Guilford County Board of Education Chairman Alan Duncan said Tuesday. The Obama administration pushed through a $4.35 billion program for school improvements as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 stimulus program. During a staff briefing on the program, Duncan urged school board members not to “chase dollars just to chase dollars,” however. “The history of these programs is that there are unfunded mandates attached,” Duncan said. “We should see what we can apply for that won’t be repetitive funding.” The district’s strategic plan emphasizes school reform to

Grant proposals are due in January for an expected April funding decision. “This program is attractive on the surface, but it can’t transform the district,” Duncan said. “It can do good things for us. But we need to proceed with a great deal of caution.” dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Guilford County ponders teacher pay. 1A

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Even with the Thomasville school district improving its grade from an F to a D, the conservative John Locke Foundation rates Triad schools just average or below in a new report. Davidson and Randolph schools earned a 2009 grade of C. Guilford County Schools and Lexington schools rated a C-minus. The Raleigh-based group graded the state’s school districts on academics, safety and administration

and teacher turnover using 2007-08 data that parents responding to surveys considered important. In general, smaller districts in western North Carolina rated highest, while larger districts in Charlotte, the Triangle and the Triad scored low. The highest score was a Bplus for Clay County. “Even so, a handful of school districts in North Carolina distinguish themselves as providing superior learning environments,” Terry Stoops, the foundation’s education policy analyst, wrote in the report. “The 17 districts that earned a “B” excelled in at least three of the four domains. The school districts that fared well in this ranking were general-

Ordinance addresses solar energy Elsewhere...

Construction under way in Davidson County. 1A BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ARCHDALE – On the heels of the construction of Davidson County’s solar farm, the Archdale City Council recently adopted an ordinance that would allow for wind and solar energy systems to be located in the city. Last week, the City Council adopted the

ordinance because the city’s previous regulations lacked language to address solar and wind energy systems. “I think it’s coming,” Jeff Wells, the city’s planning director, said of the possibility of solar energy systems locating near Archdale. “You are probably aware in Davidson County and near Seagrove in Randolph County that there are two approved solar panel fields for solar (energy). There is a very real possibility that we can see something, even on

the larger scale, most likely probably outside the city limits.” City officials said the ordinance provides regulations to ensure new renewable energy systems are installed in compliance with all applicable building and electrical codes, as well as ensuring appropriate safety measures are in place to protect system users and surrounding property owners. According to city officials, the ordinance is made necessary by increasing interest in the use of renewable en-

ergy systems to power homes and businesses. “This is a good ordinance,” Councilman Tim Williams said. “At least we got something in place ... It’s a whole lot easier to act on something like this than react.” Under the ordinance, small energy systems will be permitted in all zoning districts. Large energy systems, however, will be permitted in residential and manufacturing districts with a special-use permit. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Agency sued over fish pedicure squabble MESA, Ariz. (AP) – A conservative watchdog group has filed a lawsuit against an Arizona agency on behalf of a salon owner who uses nibbling fish to remove dead skin from the feet of customers. The lawsuit filed by Goldwater Institute on Monday says the Arizona Board of Cosme-

tology overstepped its bounds when it decided the fish perform pedicures and are subject to regulatory control. Cindy Vong opened Spa Fish Therapy in Gilbert last year and charged customers $30 to plunge their feet into a clean tank filled with fish, which nibble on customers’ feet, remov-

ing dead skin. The therapy is popular in Asia and some U.S. states. It uses small fish imported from China. The board ordered the spa to close because the fish cannot be sterilized. Vong says the move cost her a substantial financial investment and lost business.

Prosecutors contend that the defendant abducted and killed Vanlata Patel, 57, after a week of contentious deliberations over the division of property and other assets, including more than $400,000 in Swiss bank accounts. Defense lawyers argue that Cary police put Harish Patel on the top of their suspect list shortly after his wife of 12 years was reported missing. In doing so, the defenders argue, investigators ignored leads and evidence that might have taken them to other suspects.

Hagan presses White House on Edwards prosecutor RALEIGH (AP) – The Democratic senator in North Carolina said Wednesday she is pressing the White House to keep a federal prosecutor on the job until he completes investigations of two prominent state Democrats. Sen. Kay Hagan said she has had numerous conversations with White House officials but has received no assurances about the future of U.S. attorney George Holding. President Barack Obama earlier this week nominated Charlotte lawyer Thomas G. Walker to replace the top prosecutor in Raleigh. Holding’s district has

been overseeing federal probes into two-time Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, who endorsed Obama a few months after dropping out of the 2008 election, and the state’s former Democratic governor, Mike Easley. Hagan said earlier this year that she wants Holding to have time to complete the investigations so as not to make the replacement process political. Hagan said she wasn’t sure whether she would block the nominee. “I’ve expressed my strong belief that George Holding should be allowed to complete the ongoing investigations of public officials,� Hagan said.

RANDOLPH COUNTY – An Archdale man faces charges after an investigation into child pornography by authorities in Randolph County. On Nov. 13, Randolph County Sheriff’s Office detectives, with assistance from the Archdale Police Department, executed a search warrant at an Oakmont Circle residence pursuant to an

Detectives located videos of “known child pornography� on the seized computers and have charged Jeremy Brandon Russell with 14 counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a child and

two counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a child, according to the sheriff’s office. Russell, 26, was arrested Tuesday and jailed under a $14,000 bond, deputies said.

Officials: Iraq likely to postpone election BAGHDAD – Iraq’s scheduled January elections may be postponed by more than a month because of a dispute over an election law, officials said Wednesday, a delay that could threaten the planned U.S. withdrawal of combat troops.

VIENNA (AP) – In a defiant speech, Iran’s president declared on Wednesday that his country will enrich uranium to a much higher level – a fresh rejection of an international plan to curb Tehran’s nuclear program. Experts said that could put Tehran on the road to making the material

needed to arm a warhead within months. “I declare here that with the grace of God, the Iranian nation will produce 20 percent fuel and anything it needs itself,” Ahmadinejad told a cheering crowd in the central city of Isfahan. Iran denies any interest in developing nuclear arms.

Iran whistleblower died from drug-laced salad CAIRO – A doctor who exposed the torture of jailed protesters in Iran died of poisoning from a delivery salad laced with an overdose of blood pressure medication, prosecutors say. The findings fueled opposition fears he was killed because of what he knew. Investigators are still trying to determine whether Ramin Pourandarjani’s death last month was a suicide or murder, Tehran’s public prosecutor Abbas Dowlatabadi said.

Serbian court probes attack on N.Y. student BELGRADE, Serbia – A Serbian court heard video testimony on Wednesday from an American college student who was beaten into a coma in upstate New York last year by a Serb. Belgrade’s Municipal Court said a judge questioned Brian Steinhauer, 22, of Brooklyn, for about two hours about the bar brawl in May 2008 near upstate Binghamton University during which he was severely beaten, allegedly by fellow student Miladin Kovacevic. Steinhauer awoke from his coma in August 2008.

ASUNCION, Paraguay – Paraguay named an undocumented U.S. immigrant to run its consulate in New York, discovering his illegal status only when the man returned home to get his diplomatic papers and was denied a U.S. visa. Paraguay’s foreign ministry acknowledged Wednesday it was a mistake to name Augusto Noguera as the consulate’s “first official,” but said President Fernando Lugo annulled the decision as soon as he was informed of the U.S. Embassy’s visa denial.

AARP backs Democrats in health care fight WASHINGTON (AP) – With a Senate showdown looming, the politically potent AARP rode to the rescue of Democrats on Wednesday, supporting $460 billion in Medicare cuts to help pay for landmark health care legislation. As Republicans pressed to restore the cuts, AARP said Democrats merely were recommending elimination of waste and inefficiency within the giant health care program for seniors. “Most importantly, the legislation does not reduce any guaranteed Medicare benefits,� A. Barry Rand, the AARP’s CEO, said in a letter to senators. Republicans, led by Sen. John McCain, said seniors would lose some of their add-on benefits that are part of coverage under private insurance Medicare. “Above all, we must not use Medicare as a piggy bank� to pay for other programs, the Arizona Republican said.

WASHINGTON (AP) – A deeply skeptical Congress on Wednesday resigned itself to President Barack Obama’s escalation of the Afghanistan war, even as the president’s chief military and diplomatic advisers sought to cool any expectations that the war would end in two years. Leading Democrats said they had serious misgivings about the deployment of 30,000 more troops but would not try to stop the deployments or block the $30 billion the military will need. Republicans said they support the force increase even as they questioned Obama’s July 2011 deadline to start bringing troops home. The response was the best Obama could have hoped for from a Congress sharply divided on the war. “It’s not likely that there would be any circumstances where the president would lose this battle this year� with lawmakers, said Rep.

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) – The convicted murderer who drove Maurice Clemmons from the coffee shop where he massacred four suburban police officers waited for him in the getaway truck with a newly purchased cigar while Clemmons committed the crimes, according to court documents filed Wednesday. Darcus Allen, 38, who did time with Clemmons in an Arkansas prison, pleaded not guilty and was ordered held without bail after he was charged with being a fugitive. The prosecutor is reviewing evidence to determine what charges will be filed, including criminal assistance charges. Prosecutors warned they might charge him with the more serious offense of being an accomplice to first-degree murder – a crime that could bring the same penalties as if he had shot the police himself: life without release, or execution.

Our government continues assault on Christianity I’m writing in defense of our Christian faith upon which this nation was founded. Without a doubt in reading about the establishment of this nation, there are many references to God and the Bible. Our first president, George Washington, had this to say. “It is impossible to govern rightly without God and the Bible.” Joseph Story wrote, we are not to attribute this prohibition of a national religious establishment (First Amendment) to an interference to religion in general and especially to Christianity. American school children and college students are being subjected to what is called “the liberal history lesson,” which goes something like this – America, say liberals, was a product of the enlightenment which was a rejection of Christianity. Both houses of Congress continue today to open each session with prayer, while we can’t open our City Council meetings and use our founder’s name, Jesus Christ, in our public meetings. Nor can our public school children. They are denied their rights to assemble at the flag pole to have prayer before a contest. The First Amendment states that Congress shall make no laws

P

resident Obama risks alienating some of his most ardent liberal Democrat supporters. But just as we knew massive government health care, harmful energy policies and higher taxes were coming upon his election, we knew, too, that Obama was going to increase U.S. involvement in Afghanistan, at least temporarily. After all, Obama campaigned on the need for more U.S. troops and greater attention to the rising al-Qaida threat in Afghanistan. So, just as he’s followed-up on those previous campaign promises, it was relatively certain that a military push was coming there. Give him credit for doing what he said during the campaign. Despite his party opposition, Obama fortunately has listened to his military commanders in the field and Tuesday night announced plans to quickly boost U.S. forces in Afghanistan by 30,000, bringing the total to nearly 100,000. That’s 10,000 short of the 40,000 U.S. Army Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, the U.S. commander in Afghanistan, had requested, but it is a buildup that McChrystal can use to achieve a military victory over al-Qaida and its Taliban supporters. Obama set a 11⁄2-year timetable for action. He is taking a risk in saying U.S. troops will begin leaving Afghanistan in mid-2011 with al-Qaida in defeat. Sen. John McCain and others criticized him for setting a timetable publicly, but Obama did add a qualifier for that withdrawal, saying its pace will depend on conditions on the ground. By setting the mid-2011 withdrawal date, Obama says to the world the U.S. doesn’t intend to remain in Afghanistan for years on end. He’s trying to attract more support and understanding of U.S. intentions from around the world instead of condemnation for its military actions. That’s a strategy President Bush didn’t use in Iraq. Let’s give Obama a chance to see how it works in Afghanistan.

An independent newspaper

In Obama’s latest poll numbers, we actually see ourselves

Y

ou’d think it would be a simple question: How popular is Barack Obama? And you’d think it would have a simple answer: According to a recent Gallup poll, the president’s approval rating stands at 49 percent, the first time it’s slipped to less than half. Of course, Obama – you may have heard this somewhere – is our first African-American president and it is a reliable truism that when race enters the picture, “simple” leaves it. Hence, when you parse the Gallup numbers more closely, you discover a not-so-startling divide. It turns out that among non-white voters (meaning in this case, African-Americans and Hispanics), Obama’s approval rating remains stratospheric. A staggering 91 percent of blacks and a healthy 70 percent of Hispanics approve of the job he’s doing. Among non-Hispanic whites, on the other hand, Obama is cratering. Just 39 percent give the president a passing grade. Richard Prince, a black journalist who writes an online column for journalists, headlined a piece on the poll findings as follows: “White Defections Drag Down Obama Rating.” Which is a fair reading, I suppose. But you could just as fairly headline it: “Non-white Support Inflates Obama Rating.” We are not just arguing tomato to-mah-to here. No, the point is that the headline Prince didn’t use, like the dueling approval ratings themselves, testifies that race retains its power to shape – and misshape – perception. Granted, that will be an obvious, even shopworn, observation to anyone with the slightest experience in this all-American conundrum. But it assumes added urgency when you consider that this perceptual gap isn’t measuring the impact of race on how we view this year’s trial of the century, but, rather, an actual president of the United States and, by extension, the state of the Union. So one wishes, for our own sake, we could learn to see past our well-worn racial narratives. But racial narratives aren’t so easily put aside. Not that this is the first time polling has quantified a racial divide. Far from it. This one,

however, seems especially stark and consequential. Again, we’re talking about a president – and there is a lot of space between 39 percent and 91 percent. But then, Obama has long been the unwitting catalyst for a raucous national discussion on OPINION the meaning and impact of race. Because he exists – and really, Leonard where race is concerned, he’s done Pitts little more than that – we find this ■■■ discussion overtaking us everywhere from our newspapers to our televisions to our barber chairs. Who could blame him if sometimes Obama himself feels like shouting that he’s not the black president. He’s the president. For all the good that would do. The man made history and that history comes with a burden. More even than most presidents, he becomes a symbol, a lightning rod, a focal point – not simply for arguments over the economy, the wars and health care, but for all our tangled, contradictory and unresolved confusions and aspirations of race. This is what we see quantified in that Gallup Poll. The difference in perception it documents serves as a reminder that for two people to see a thing in the same way, it helps to be standing in the same place looking in the same direction. And we black, white and brown Americans are not there yet. From where I sit, Obama’s performance has been neither as execrable as the rating among whites would suggest, nor as walk-on-water miraculous as the rating among blacks and browns would have us believe. And that gap between them is less a measurement of a president’s performance than of a nation’s enduring irresolution. The poll was meant to be a window. It became a mirror instead.

driving 35 mph, stop in time to avoid hitting a golf cart when it rounds a curve? Golf carts will impede traffic flow and frustrate drivers who will straddle lanes to pass the carts. The ordinance could also put more uninsured drivers on the road. It’s against the law to drive significantly below the speed limit. The citywide limit is 35 mph, while golf carts are lucky to top off at 20 mph down a hill with a strong wind. A staff analysis provided to City Council members says typical golf carts go 15 to 20 mph. We agree that having to drive a little slower isn’t a bad thing, but 20 mph slower? The speed limit will merely be a suggestion as anyone behind a golf cart will be stuck with 15 mph. An estimated 147,696 people were treated in the U.S. for golf cart-related injuries from 1990 to 2006, 15 percent of which occurred on streets or public property, a 2007 study by the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found. The number of injuries increased 132.3

Newman also said the Council is open to new ideas. If they don’t work, they can be amended or repealed. He’s right that there probably won’t be many golf carts, and even more right that a lot of public education will be needed to make sure people know which roads are city-maintained. He also said that if everyone follows the rules and drives slow, there shouldn’t be a problem. He may be right, but how many drivers these days follow all the rules of the road – and also avoid distractions such as cell phones or a snack? The idea first caught on in beach towns and resort communities, with other cities following suit. But this is the mountains, and the danger is that people aren’t used to seeing golf carts on streets, for an obvious reason. The best place for a golf cart is on the cart path at the golf course. Second best is those large retirement communities set apart from public roads. A busy street ranks somewhat further down the list.

percent over the 17-year study period, thanks to the use of golf carts in more public places like city streets. So why is the idea alive in Hendersonville? Mayor Greg Newman brought up the idea in February at a city goal-setting workshop. He saw a man driving a golf cart in his neighborhood, and the man told Newman that in other cities, it was legal to drive carts on city streets. Newman says golf carts, most of which are electric, offer a cheaper, energy efficient form of transportation for people who live downtown and want to hop in and go to the library, for example. It’s a way the city can work toward its goal of becoming more environmentally friendly. Newman and the city deserve a hand for looking at ways to improve the environment. But that should be weighed against public health and safety – and common sense. The City Council would make better use of its time finding resources to create paths for bicycles and walkers.

The Times-News of Hendersonville, Nov. 22 n September, a Massachusetts woman riding in a golf cart was killed when it was struck by a minivan on a public road. She was 34. Such a tragedy could happen in Hendersonville if an ordinance allowing carts on city streets under consideration by the City Council gets the nod at its December meeting. It’s an idea that’s dangerous to both the drivers of the carts as well as motorists. For now, golf carts are not allowed on city-maintained streets. But drivers could soon see carts on Fifth Avenue if the idea wins final approval. Council members have made no final decision on the law but tentatively agreed that golf carts must have headlights and turn signals and riders must wear seat belts. But seat belts won’t do much to help people in a slow-moving cart hit by a car – or worse. A golf cart on a city street at night – even with headlights – is an accident waiting to happen.

DNA sought from Yale suspect’s fiancee HARTFORD, Conn.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House is refusing to send its social secretary to Congress today to testify about the gatecrashing at last week’s state dinner – a decision that prompted complaints from the top Republican on the committee holding the hearing. Another House Republican emerged from a closed Secret Service briefing to blame the episode on a Secret Service officer who let an attention-hungry couple through the first security checkpoint although the pair had no invitation to President Barack Obama’s first state dinner. But a top Obama administration official also laid a share of the responsibility on the White House staff. The ranking GOP member of the House Homeland Security committee, Rep. Peter King of New York, was the first to ask that White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers, herself a guest at the dinner, be called to testify at today’s hearing. By not sending Rogers, King said, “the White House is creating a needless confrontation and is raising serious issues about its judgment on the night of the state dinner.� Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan has agreed to testify.

The Archdale-Trinity Cheer Fund is not connected to the High Point Cheer Fund, which is the source of regular articles on page 1B of The High Point Enterprise that run during the holidays, including today.

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ARCHDALE – Hoping to meet this year’s increased demand of helping needy families, organizers of the 23rd annual ArchdaleTrinity Cheer Fund started trying to raise money about a week earlier than previous years. The fund, which kicked off Nov. 20 and runs until Christmas Day, is being sponsored by the Archdale SerCo Club for the 23rd year, said Stan Byrd Sr., the club’s chairman. “We started earlier because of the problems,” Byrd said. “Teachers got flooded from parents more than normal. They were calling wanting help earlier this year. We cut off taking names as of (Tuesday) because we’ve got more people than we can help.” School guidance counselors and other community members let SerCo know of families who are in the most need of assistance. So far, the club has a ways to go to meet its goal,

The club’s goal is to raise $20,000 in cash and an additional $5,000 for clothes, toys and food. “The biggest difference between what we do and the High Point Cheer Fund is that we do this all year long,” Byrd said. “We go out and screen every fam-

ily. Most of them come from the schools ... Most of it is done at Christmas, but we continue to buy medicine.” This year’s ArchdaleTrinity Cheer Fund is dedicated to the late Dr. Bill Jarvis, a well-known local dentist who was a member of SerCo.

In addition to raising money for the Cheer Fund, SerCo, along with Santa Claus, will go out into the community to give away toys and other items on Saturday, Dec. 19. Donations to the Cheer Fund can be made by sending checks payable

to the Archdale-Trinity Cheer Fund to Stan Byrd Realtors, 10468 N. Main St., Suite B, Archdale. Checks also can be made payable to the ArchdaleTrinity Cheer Fund and mailed to P.O. Box 4956, Archdale. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

GTCC enrollments continue to rise BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ENROLLMENT

–

JAMESTOWN – Guilford Technical Community College officials expect to see another dramatic enrollment increase for the upcoming spring session. Early enrollment shows an increase of 37.8 percent over the same period last year. The number of students receiving financial aid has jumped 78.5 percent over spring 2009 figures. So far, 9,451 students have registered for spring semester, up from 6,857 a year ago. Of those, 5,420

Deadline: The enrollment deadline for GTCC’s spring session is Jan. 4. Growth: Enrollment has increased for 12 consecutive years. If the trend continues, enrollment will have doubled since 6,224 students enrolled for the 1997-98 fall semester. students already have been approved for financial aid for spring classes, which will begin Jan. 11. Last year, officials approved 3,359

students for financial help during the same period. GTCC’s enrollment continues to grow despite a tuition increase from $42 to $50 per credit hour for in-state students. The increases follow a record enrollment for the current fall semester of 13,520 students. Current enrollment is up 2,233 students from fall 2008. GTCC and other Triad community college officials say idle and underemployed workers are enrolling at community colleges to improve their job skills and seek new careers in growing industries.

Enrollments run opposite of the economy, GTCC President Don Cameron has told county officials over the last two years, adding that the college expects more students when the economy is down. Including enrollment for continuing education and basic skills classes, GTCC has a total of 41,524 students on campuses in Jamestown, High Point and Greensboro. GTCC has grown to become the fourth largest among 58 community colleges in the state. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Annual holiday campaign reaches $4,595 ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – The 2009 Christmas Cheer Fund has received $1,070 today. That brings the total in donations to $4,595. This year’s goal is $35,000. The fund, operated by the Kiwanis Club of High Point, provides Christmas gifts for nearly 1,500 children identified by the Guilford County Department of Social Services. The campaign was started in 1924 by The High Point Enterprise as a campaign to raise money for needy families. “Local organizations, such as the Rotary, Kiwanis and Civitan clubs, are to aid in taking care of these families,” the Enterprise said in a front page article published Dec. 12, 1924. The initial campaign collected $848. The campaign has changed

responsibility over the years. It was operated as an Empty Stocking Fund by the High Point Jaycees for about 30 years, after it was passed around between different private local residents and groups. When the last local nonprofit charitable organization owner, the late Benny Braica, retired in the late 1990s, the High Point Kiwanis Club took over what’s now called the Christmas Cheer Fund. This year’s distribution of gifts will be from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. Dec. 19 at Mount Vernon Baptist Church, 716 Leonard Ave. Parents of eligible children will be mailed vouchers that they can redeem for gifts. Donations should be made out to Christmas Cheer Fund and mailed to P.O. Box 5467, High Point, NC 27261.

Embattled police department names new chief SPRING LAKE (AP) – A North Carolina town will soon have a new police chief after about six months without a permanent one. Multiple media outlets reported Wednesday that Red Springs police Chief Troy McDuffie will be named the new chief in Spring Lake. He will

be introduced to the town Thursday at a news conference and is scheduled to take command Dec. 14. The department has been unable to make arrests or obtain warrants since earlier this year, when a Cumberland County judge effectively stripped the town of those powers.

Poem is a reminder of joy special children can bring

D

ear Abby: A few years ago, you printed a poem about children with special needs having been sent by God to special parents who can nurture and care for them. Our neighbors – dear friends of ours – have a new baby who has challenges. Although there are days that bring with them frustrations, this loving couple is doing a wonderful job of parenting their beautiful little girl. With the holidays approaching, would you print that poem again? I would like to give a copy to my neighbors. – In Awe in Maryland Dear in Awe: The poem you’re referring to is titled, “Heaven’s Very Special Child,� and it’s certainly worth sharing again. The author, Edna Massimilla, wrote it after her daughter – a child with Down syndrome – was born. I have always found its message to be very moving and, when I spoke to Edna, she told me it was written to emphasize that every creation is for a purpose. She’s in her 90s now and still writing poems and songs – especially for children with disabilities. Read on:

HEAVEN’S VERY SPECIAL CHILD A meeting was held quite far from Earth. It was time again for

another birth. Said the Angels to the Lord above – “This special ADVICE child will need Dear much Abby love. ■■■“Her progress may be very slow, “Accomplishment she may not show. “And she’ll require extra care “From the folks she meets down there. “She may not run or laugh or play, “Her thoughts may seem quite far away. “So many times she will be labeled “‘different,’ ‘helpless’ and disabled. “So, let’s be careful where she’s sent. “We want her life to be content. “Please, Lord, find the parents who “Will do a special job for you. “They will not realize right away “The leading role they are asked to play. “But with this child sent from above “Comes stronger faith, and richer love. “And soon they’ll know the privilege given “In caring for their gift from heaven. “Their precious charge, so meek and

mild “Is heaven’s very special child.� Dear Abby: Please help correct a holiday misnomer that seems to be growing more entrenched each year. The reindeer in Clement Moore’s “’Twas the Night Before Christmas� is DONDER, not Donner! The name continues to be misspoken in TV commercials, so I’m asking your help. Suggestion: Tell your readers to find a copy and read it to their kids or grandkids. – Donder Fan in Valley Springs, Calif. Dear Donder Fan: That’s an excellent suggestion. I’m in favor of any opportunity parents and grandparents can create to read to children. Not only is it an enjoyable bonding experience, it gives children an incentive to learn to read for themselves. P.S. In case any of you don’t remember the names of the rest of Santa’s reindeer, they are: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, DONDER and Blitzen. (Rudolph was added later.) DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Chamber produces final edition of ‘NC Magazine’ RALEIGH (AP) – The North Carolina Chamber is getting out of the magazine business after 66 years. The state’s leading business advocacy group announced Wednesday its bimonthly magazine will cease publication with the current issue because advertising revenues for the “NC Magazine� plummeted 68 percent this year. Chamber chief executive Lew Ebert says the

magazine’s fiscal challenges were separate from what he calls the “financially strong� picture of the Chamber itself. The magazine began in 1943 under a different title by the parent organization of what is now the chamber and often featured interviews with the state’s political and corporate movers and shakers. An outside firm produced the 14,000-circulation magazine the past two years.

Shingles vaccine recommended for all persons over 60

D

ear Dr. Donohue: Please furnish information on the shingles vaccine. Our primary-care doctor recommends being immunized as a preventive measure for people 60 and older who had chickenpox as children. Most doctors and pharmacists do not recommend getting this injection, which is strange to me. Will you give me the pros and cons of the vaccine? Would you recommend it? I am 69. – T.P.

BLONDIE

Shingles is a one-sided, painful rash caused by the wakened chickenpox virus, which lives on in the body’s nerve cells after a childhood infection. Shingles is bad, but the rash always goes. Pain, however, can linger for prolonged times, even years. That’s postherpetic (post shingles) neuralgia – intense pain due to the virus’s passage down the nerve to the skin. The nerve has been damaged. The shingles vaccine prevents both the outbreak of shingles and the possible postherpetic neuralgia aftermath. It cuts the chance of getting shingles in half, and it lessens the odds of postherpetic neuralgia by two-thirds. The vaccine is for those over 60. It’s given even if a person can’t remember having had chickenpox. Ninety percent of adults have evidence of harboring the chickenpox virus. And it’s given to those who have had one outbreak of shingles. Such an outbreak boosts immunity, but people can have a

second outbreak – although it’s not a common experience. I find most docHEALTH tors in favor of the vacDr. Paul cine. One Donohue of its cons ■■■ is that it is expensive. Make sure you talk about this before you arrive for a vaccination. Medicare part D covers most of the cost since it covers the cost of prescription medicines, as do some insurance plans. Another con for the doctor is the requirement to store it at a temperature of -15 C (5 F), but doctors usually can make arrangements for such storage. I’m all for it. Dear Dr. Donohue: Is there anything to help an alcoholic stop drinking? A pill? My 54-year-old daughter is an alcoholic. She’s about to ruin her marriage and about to kill her parents and her family. – M.L. Essential to the success of alcoholism treatment is the firm desire and resolution of the alcoholic to break the addiction. Your daughter would benefit from the help of an expert, and she can find one by asking her family doctor for a name. She would also greatly benefit from the support and direction of Alcoholics Anonymous, an organization that for decades and decades, helped people be-

come and remain sober. Medicines can provide additional assistance to keep alcoholics from succumbing to the intense desire to take an alcoholic drink. They are not miracle drugs. They’re only a help. Disulfiram (Antabuse), acamprosate (Campral) and naltrexone (ReVia, Vivitrol) are their names. They require a doctor’s prescription. Dear Dr. Donohue: Enclosed is an article I received from a friend. I would like your opinion on it. I have a gut feeling that is one of those too-good-tobe-true stories. – R.T. R.T.’s article is hymn to the powerful, health-conferring properties of asparagus. Included among the disease it’s purported to cure are a number of different cancers: bladder, Hodgkin’s disease, skin cancer and lung cancer (not bad when you consider that devoted scientists have looked for a cancer cure for centuries). A recipe provides directions on how to prepare the asparagus. I agree with you, R.T. This is one of those toogood-to-be true stories. I hope no cancer patient abandons recommended treatment to try this proposed cure. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Defamation lawsuit against Dixie Chicks dismissed

AP

In this publicity image released by NBC Universal, actress Meredith Baxter (left) is shown during an interview with Matt Lauer Wednesday on the “Today” show in New York.

Meredith Baxter reveals she is a lesbian NEW YORK (AP) – Meredith Baxter, who played mother Elyse Keaton on the 1980s TV series “Family Ties,” has revealed that she is a lesbian. “I am a lesbian, and it was a later-in-life recognition of that fact,” the 62-year-old actress said in an interview Wednesday on NBC’s

“Today” show. Baxter said she has been in a relationship with her girlfriend, a general contractor, for four years. “Some people are saying, were you living a lie? And, you know, the truth is, not at all. This has only been in the past seven years,” she said.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – A federal judge has dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed against the Dixie Chicks by the stepfather of one of three 8-year-old Maines boys killed in Arkansas 15 years ago. Terry Hobbs, the stepfather of Stevie Branch, claimed singer Natalie Maines accused him of being involved in the deaths of his stepson and the two other boys. U.S. District Judge Brian Miller found Tuesday that Hobbs couldn’t establish “actual malice” – that Maines knew the statements she made were false or that she made them with “reckless disregard” of the truth.

HPU ready to hit road

W

hen the month of December is over, the members of the High Point University men’s basketball team should be well-versed in travel. And that’s not counting what they may do to get home for the holidays. Starting today with a 189-mile trip to open Big South Conference play against Presbyterian College in Clinton, S.C., the Panthers will play five games SPORTS on the road before facing N.C. Greer Central in the Smith Millis Center on ■■■ Dec. 29. HPU will complete a Big South doubleheader by going to Winthrop in Rock Hill, S.C., on Saturday, head back to South Carolina to play S.C. State in Orangeburg on Dec. 9, take a break for exams and then complete its pre-holiday fun by playing Dec. 20 at Marshall in West Virginia on the way to a Dec. 22 date at Youngstown State in Ohio. The two Big South games are part of scheduling in which teams that were home for two December conference games last year are on the road this year. The game at S.C. State is part of a home-and-home deal that began with the Bulldogs playing in the Millis Center on Monday. The schedule was put together before Scott Cherry was named as replacement for Bart Lundy in March. “You want to be at home as much as possible, of course,” Cherry said. “There are two ways to look at it. One, we won’t be here for a long period of time and that’s not good. But, we’re not too upset that we’re not at home just before the holidays because the students are not here. And then in January and February, we have more home games after the students come back. It’s a balancing act and hopefully in the future we’ll have more balance in the schedule.” Presbyterian is 2-5 with wins over Montreat and Southern University and losses to Clemson, Furman, Illinois, Bradley and Seattle University. The Blue Hose were on the road for the first six games before the Montreat victory. Jake Troyli, a 6-foot-9 redshirt freshman, leads the Blue Hose scoring with an average of 16.7 points per game and rebounding at 5.6 per game They have been outscored by an average of nearly 12 points per game, have pulled down 38 fewer rebounds and have committed 40 more turnovers than the opposition. “I don’t think their record is an indication of how good they are because of all the road games.” Cherry said. “They run their half-court sets on offense and then sit back in that matchup zone on defense. So this is

a game where we will try to speed up the tempo and get out in transition and play.” To combat the zone, Cherry hopes to get frontcourt production similar to the 16 points and eight rebounds Corey Law provided against S.C. State to complement the scoring of Nick Barbour, who is averaging 23.2 ppg, and Eugene Harris, the other Panther in double-digits at 11.4. “They are going to be hanging out in the paint defensively and trying to force us to take outside jump shots,” Cherry said. “We’ve got to get the ball inside by the drive and by the pass, and hopefully all our guys will be involved. The offense will come if we start taking care of the ball.” The Panthers’ inability to take care of the ball is becoming a point of concern for Cherry. HPU is averaging 19.0 turnovers per game while forcing just more than 20. “We’re having 18-19 turnovers a game and it’s hard to win when you do that,” Cherry said. “Now, if we were playing a fast tempo, it would be different. Some of those turnovers would be due to style of play. But, most of ours are not style of play. They are unforced careless mistakes, making bad decisions like driving into the defense when nothing is there.” Cherry also hopes that the Panthers will not come out flat at the start of the second half as they have repeatedly this season. They never got untracked after halftime in a loss at Wake Forest, needed an emotional burst from Law to get in gear against Hampden-Sydney, and then were so sluggish after intermission against S.C. State that Cherry replaced all five starters with another crew. “I don’t know what the reason is,” Cherry said. “I’m trying to get them to do warm-ups differently. If it continues, I’ll go to the same game plan that I have in the past. I’ll either make changes in the starting lineup or I’ll bring in five new guys who can give us energy like I did Monday night.” As for the travel, the Panthers will return tonight so players won’t miss classes on Friday, then hit the road again Saturday. Cherry said he didn’t want players out of class tomorrow because they will miss the final day of classes on Wednesday during the S.C. State trip. “You want to get off to a good start in the league, and to be on the road against two good teams, it’s huge,” Cherry said. “Right now, we just want to get off to a good start and play Thursday night the way we want to play. We won’t have much time to prepare for Winthrop, but we’ll do as much as we can in one day and then play the game. It’s going to be a test for us.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Panther women falter in second half against Gamecocks ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Shamia Brown scored 14 points and Amy Dodd provided nine points, three rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block as the High Point University women’s basketball team fell to South Carolina 70-52 Wednesday afternoon. “We can take a lot of good things from this game,” said HPU coach Tooey Loy. “South Carolina is a team that beat a top-25 team its last time out and we had a great chance tonight. We had it within six midway through the second half and we just needed a couple breaks that we didn’t get. “We played good basketball and had a good chance to knock off a very good team. We are getting better and this is a step in the right direction for us.” The Panthers trailed USC just 30-27 at halftime after 20 minutes that included six ties and three lead changes. HPU (2-3) jumped to a 4-1 lead on layups by Ashlee Samuels and Dodd before USC (4-3) used its press to score seven straight points on three HPU turnovers.

Loy

After a Panthers’ timeout, a jumper by junior LaTeisha Dean and layups by Samuels and Dodd tied the game at 10 with just more than 14 minutes left in

the first half. High Point managed to take back the lead when a jumper by Dean made it 20-18, but the Gamecocks outscored High Point 12-7 going into the half. South Carolina opened the second half on an 8-0 run to open an 11-point lead. HPU scored five straight points on a Dodd layup and an old-fashioned three-point play by Brown to pull within 44-38 with 11 minutes left, but the Panthers were unable to pull closer. Dean finished with 11 points and two steals for HPU. Samuels added eight points and four rebounds. Valerie Nainima led all scorers for South Carolina with 20 points, while Samone Kennedy added 14 points. High Point will continue its four-game road trip on Friday, when the Panthers travel to Fairfax, Va., to play George Mason University at 7 p.m.

O

ver the years, Thursday nights have delivered some classic prime-time television. The list of great shows on that night includes “Mr. Ed,” “Dragnet,” “Playhouse 90” and “The Real McCoys” in the 1950s; “Leave It To Beaver” and “Perry Mason” in the ‘60s; “Hawaii Five-O,” “The Waltons,” “Barney Miller” and “Mork and Mindy” in the ‘70s; “Knots Landing,” “Cheers,” and “The Cosby Show” in the ‘80s; “Seinfeld,” “Friends,” “ER”

61 53

and “Diagnosis: Murder” in the ‘90s; and “CSI” and “Without A Trace” this decade. I mention all of these blasts from the past only because I would rather watch a rerun of any of those programs instead of tonight’s Jets-Bills battle on the NFL Network. I’d rather see “The Best of the Battle of the Network Stars” or “Classic Star Search Rewind” than New York at Buffalo. The 5-6 Jets at the 4-7 Bills? Really? Seriously?

I thought the point of Thursday night prime-time NFL matchups was to give viewers a four- or five-star game. Of course, lots of viewers don’t even have access to the NFL Network, but that’s another story for another time. Tonight’s Jets-Bills game could turn out to be a classic pro football confrontation for the ages. I wouldn’t set my DVR on it, however.

Jessica Breland figures any day is a good day after spending the past six months fighting Hodgkin’s lymphoma. So the chilly rain pouring down outside the Smith Center on Wednesday couldn’t wash the big smile off the North Carolina standout’s face. “I’m just grateful to be able to be healthy right now and to walk around,” Breland said. “I can’t wait to get back on the court. I’m feeling pretty good, real good.” In her first public comments since her diagnosis in May, the senior forward said her disease is in remission and she has completed her chemotherapy treatments. She’s ready to think about the future.

New director welcomed to NCHSAA ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

CHAPEL HILL – A new executive director and a handful of minor changes to the sports landscape were handled Wednesday at the close of the N.C. High School Athletic Association Board of Directors’ threeday winter meeting. The meeting concluded with a press conference where executive director-elect Davis Whitfield, currently associate commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference, was introduced. Whitfield spoke about continuing the NCHSAA’s legacy of service and leadership while continuing to build relationships and develop consensus.

The Board also took actions honoring retiring executive director Charlie Adams. The main conference room in the Terrell Building has been named the Charlie Adams Conference Room. A Distinguished Service Award for regional meetings, one per region, was established to start in the fall of 2010, and the Most Valuable Player award given in the boys basketball championships will be named in his honor. Also, Brooks Matthews, principal at Triton High School, was named as vicepresident of the Board to replace former Trinity and Wheatmore leader Daryl Barnes, who is retiring. Among other items ap-

proved by the Board: – a committee will be convened to study size of playoff brackets in all sports, number of games, etc., to report to Board at May meeting with recommendations – the MVP awards given for girls basketball championships will be named in memory of Kay Yow – approved a change in policy in all sports: If a team is disqualified due to an ineligible player after the first round of the playoffs and won the opening-round game, the losing team will advance in its place – approved lacrosse playoff structure: 32-team bracket for men, 24 for women

CHAPEL HILL (AP) — North Carolina kept running the court, knocking down shot after shot and building a big lead that Michigan State never would erase. Sound familiar? Eight months after beating the Spartans to win the national championship, the 10th-ranked Tar Heels did it again to No. 9 Michigan State. This time, they got career-best scoring performances from sophomores Ed Davis and Larry Drew II in Tuesday night’s 89-82 victory that could be key for a young team that’s still taking shape after losing so much star power from last season. Davis scored 22 points on 8-of-10 shooting for the Tar Heels (7-1), while Drew had 18 points and hit five free throws in the final minute to help the Tar Heels hold off a late rally by the Spartans (52). North Carolina, which shot 58 percent, led by as many as 19 points early in the second half to beat Michigan State for the second straight year in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. It was probably the best performance of the young season for a team that lost NBA firstround draft picks Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington from last season’s champion. “It’s still early, early in the season,” coach Roy Williams said. “We’re not going to make too

We’re going to love it until midnight, then we’ll start thinking about the next game we play.” The teams met twice last season at Detroit’s Ford Field, with North Carolina winning by 35 points in the early season Challenge. Then came the 89-72 win in April for the program’s fifth NCAA championship, a game in which North Carolina led by 24 points in the first half. It was a performance that put a damper on the Spartans’ thrilling tournament run that had galvanized the economically battered state of Michigan. Coach Tom Izzo had said he didn’t plan to use last season as motivation, though some of his

players admitted they were eager for another shot at the Tar Heels. And as if the Spartans needed any reminders of what happened in April, the blue-clad students near the home bench greeted them for pregame warmups with chants of “Banner! Banner!” while pointing to the one hanging in the Smith Center rafters to commemorate last season’s title. The Tar Heels pitched in, too. At one point, they had nearly duplicated the 55-34 title-game lead they carried into the locker room at halftime. “It’s getting pretty sickening,” said Draymond Green, who had 13 points for Michigan State. “They’re a top program in the nation, but so are we.”

ACC title game a hit with backf ield stars

AP

Strike a pose? Florida quarterback Tim Tebow (above) carries the ball during a recent game against Florida International in Gainesville, Fla., while Alabama’s Mark Ingram (below) runs for a first down against Tennessee-Chattanooga in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The Southeastern Conference couldn’t have manufactured a better Heisman Trophy showcase. Tebow and Ingram have a rare chance to fashion a Heisman moment when their teams meet in the SEC championship game of No. 1 vs. No. 2 on Saturday at 4 p.m.

SEC, Heisman on the line THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Who needs Heisman Trophy campaigns? Florida’s Tim Tebow and Alabama’s Mark Ingram have a potentially much more effective outlet to demonstrate their Heisman worthiness than highlightpacked DVDs, life-sized posters or glossy bios. A No. 1 versus No. 2 showcase that is practically must-see TV for onthe-fence Heisman voters and college football fanatics. If one of these players has a huge Southeastern Conference championship game Saturday and sends his team on to play for the national title, it could be like a three-hour – OK, maybe four – commercial any political candidate would envy. “This is a very big stage,� said Ivan Maisel, a Heisman voter who covers college football for ESPN and is considering Ingram and Tebow for his ballot. “And I think for both of these guys, and more so for Ingram, it could be to their advantage.� This big stage could be the biggest edge Tebow, the top-ranked Gators’ larger-than-life quarterback, and No. 2 Crimson Tide tailback Ingram have over other contenders. Colt McCoy and No. 3 Texas face 21st-ranked Nebraska for the Big 12 championship. C.J. Spiller leads No. 25 Clemson against No. 12 Georgia Tech in the ACC title game, while Stanford’s Toby Gerhart will have to settle for a huge game against limping Notre Dame as his end-of-season Heisman showcase. Then there’s the SEC’s two candidates, both of whom have downplayed the personal significance of their game this week. It’s hard to ignore for everyone, though. Tebow said the Heisman, which he won in 2007, is “kind of totally out of my mind frame.� “It’s something that I’m not thinking about or worried about because our goal is to win the SEC championship and that’s our focus,� he said. “Winning a Heisman Trophy would be special and was special, and it does mean a lot. But not compared to winning an SEC title. They’re two different things in my eyes, and the

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) – Clemson tailback C.J. Spiller sees a lot of himself in Georgia Tech runner Jonathan Dwyer. Spiller had long admired Dwyer’s powerful, breakaway runs and discipline in helping the 12th-ranked Yellow Jackets perfect an option offense that largely disappeared from major college playbooks two decades ago. But this summer, Spiller mixed with Dwyer at the ACC’s summer gathering and found a kindred soul: a humble, team-first guy with his eyes locked on bringing his program the ultimate prize – an Atlantic Coast Conference championship. “He’s just a version of me,� Spiller says. The two face each other Saturday when Georgia Tech (10-2) and No. 25 Clemson (8-4) play for the league championship in Tampa, Fla. On Wednesday, Spiller won the ACC’s player of the year by a wide margin over Dwyer’s Georgia Tech teammate, quarterback Josh Nesbitt. Spiller also earned the league’s offensive player of the year, again with Nesbitt in second. Both Dwyer and Spiller were voted to the all-ACC first team. Dwyer as a running back, Spiller a specialist. That sounds about right. No one in the ACC this season has been as special as Spiller, the Tigers’ do-it-all back who’s used his track speed, video-game moves and incredible will – he’s played all year with a painful turf toe injury – to lift the Tigers to the doorstep of their first conference crown in 18 years. “When he has the ball in his hands, you better keep your eyes open because he might be down the field if you make one blink,� Dwyer said in September before Georgia Tech’s 30-27 win over the Tigers. “Any time he touches the ball, it’s going to be a show.�

From the season’s first play, a 96yard kickoff return touchdown against Middle Tennessee, Spiller showed why he passed up a likely first-round NFL slot last winter for one last chance at a title. He’s glad the Tigers validated his choice. “Usually, this week we’re not playing, so it’s a little bit different,� Spiller said with a smile. Not that it’s been an easy path. Despite scoring five of Clemson’s first 11 touchdowns, the Tigers were 2-3 and, most thought, out of the Atlantic Division chase. Spiller and the other seniors gathered the Tigers for a midseason checkup. They talked through their disappointment, Spiller said, and repledged themselves to each other. The result? A six-game win streak that took Clemson to a division crown and pushed Spiller into Heisman Trophy consideration. Spiller seemingly set a school record with each touch. He put up a Clemsonbest 310 all-purpose yards in a 40-37 overtime win at Miami, then eclipsed it two games later with 312 in a 40-24 win over Florida State. A week ago at South Carolina, he became the NCAA’s all-time leader with his seventh career kickoff return TD and became the fifth Bowl Subdivision player to surpass 7,000 career all-purpose yards. A normally quiet person, Spiller expanded his reach off the field, too. He challenged teammates when things didn’t work, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said, and has shown emotion to pump up the Tigers. Win or lose, Spiller will reach another goal he came back for later this month – his bachelor’s degree in sociology. “He’s developed into quite a man,� Swinney says with pride.

Nebraska can make mess of BCS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEC is really my focus.� Ingram seconds that. “It’s a team sport,� he said. “I’ve never seen a football game where one person has just done everything to win the game. I’m sure if he wants to win, his team is going to have to help him out and they’re going to have a major contribution to what they do. And if we’re going to win, my teammates are going to have a major contribution as well.� That’s what happened last week in a 26-21 victory over Auburn, when Ingram was swarmed by defenders just about every time he touched the ball. He managed just 16 carries, 30 yards and one hip pointer. Auburn came in with the nation’s 88thbest run defense; Florida is eighth. It was a rare performance for a back averaging nearly 129 yards a game against SEC defenses. “He was the clear leader, and it’s fascinating to me how the last few years the Heisman race can turn in the space of one weekend, much more so than it ever used to,� said Maisel, who added that Ingram and

Gerhart had played more consistently than McCoy or Tebow. “The performance last week, I’m sure people are talking that it hurt me,� Ingram said. “But to me, all I care about is helping this team win. That’s all that matters ultimately.� He did have an impact on the game. With Auburn focusing so much on stopping the run, quarterback Greg McElroy passed for 218 yards and two TDs. Tebow, meanwhile, comes into the game on a high note. He passed for 221 yards and ran for 90 more against Florida State while accounting for five touchdowns. He has also broken the SEC career records for most total offensive yards and rushing touchdowns. Tebow has led the Gators to 22 straight wins, while Ingram’s Tide have won 24 consecutive regular-season games. Tebow might just need a repeat of last season’s SEC championship performance to boost his Heisman hopes. He led the Gators to two fourthquarter touchdowns in the 31-20 victory.

Nebraska can make a mess of the BCS. The 21st-ranked Cornhuskers play No. 3 Texas in the Big 12 championship game Saturday at Cowboys Stadium. If the Longhorns win – they’re 14-point favorites – then the Bowl Championship Series lineup gently falls into place. Texas will play the winner of the Southeastern Conference championship showdown between No. 1 Florida and No. 2 Alabama in the national title game on Jan. 7 in Pasadena, Calf. A Longhorns’ victory also likely clears the way for Boise State to receive an at-large bid, as long as the Broncos handle lowly New Mexico State on Saturday. It won’t quite be a gripe-free selection Sunday for the BCS – not with as many as three other teams sporting undefeated records and

no chance of winning a national title – but relatively speaking, angst will be low. Now if the Huskers pull the upset, things get murky. Does No. 4 TCU, idle after completing its perfect season last week, slide into the spot Texas has reserved in the national title game? Could No. 5 and unbeaten Cincinnati, which plays at Pittsburgh for the Big East championship, leapfrog the Horned Frogs into second-place in the BCS standings and earn an invite to Pasadena to face the SEC champ? Or does a Texas loss set the stage for the first rematch in BCS history? Would the loser of the SEC title game, especially if it’s defending champion Florida, get the benefit of the doubt from the poll voters and earn another crack at its conference rival at the Rose Bowl?

Oregon, OSU set for clash EUGENE, Ore. (AP) – The Oregon Ducks and Oregon State Beavers couldn’t be more different. The Ducks are slick and polished, with countless uniform combos and a state-of-the-art locker room courtesy of megabooster and Nike co-founder Phil Knight. The Beavers are seen as a blue-collar team that

toiled off the national radar until this week. The foes meet tonight in the Civil War. The victor goes to the Rose Bowl vs. Ohio State: The rivalry has never had a winner-takes-all path to Pasadena. Seventhranked Oregon (9-2, 7-1) has not been to the Rose Bowl since 1995, while No. 13 OSU (8-3, 6-2) hasn’t been since 1965.

Colt McCoy seeks second Camp award NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) – Colt McCoy has a chance to repeat as the Walter Camp Football Foundation’s player of the year. The Texas quarterback was among five finalists announced Wednesday. The others are quarterbacks Tim Tebow of Florida and Case Keenum of Houston, running back Mark Ingram of Alabama and defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska. The award is voted on by coaches and sports information directors. The winner will be announced Dec. 10.

TCU coach gets deal FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – Gary Patterson has always felt he has a better chance of competing for a national title at TCU than at some other places with automatic BCS access. With his No. 4 Horned Frogs (12-0, 8-0 Mountain West) set to play in a BCS game, it might be hard to argue with him. And with his name being mentioned for the Notre Dame job, Patterson agreed Wednesday to a new contract intended to keep him at TCU through 2016.

Woods: ‘I let my family down’

NFL tightens concussion return rules

ter person and the husband and father that my family deserves,” Woods said. “For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.” The cocktail waitress, Jaimee Grubbs, told the magazine she met Woods at a Las Vegas nightclub the week after the 2007 Masters — two months before Woods’ wife, Elin, gave birth to their first child. Grubbs claims to have proof in 300 text messages. About three hours before Woods’ statement, the magazine published what it said was a voicemail — provided by Grubbs — that Woods left on her phone on Nov. 24, three days before his middle-of-the-night car crash outside his home in Florida. Woods has been subjected to more media headlines during the last week than when he first won the Masters in 1997 and set off the first wave of Tigermania.

NFL teams now have new, stricter instructions for when players should be allowed to return to games or practices after head injuries, guidelines that go into effect this week. In the latest step by the league to address a hot-button issue, commissioner Roger Goodell sent a memo to the 32 clubs Wednesday saying a player who gets a concussion should not return to action on the same day if he shows certain signs or symptoms. Those include an inability to remember assignments or plays, a gap in memory, persistent dizziness, and persistent headaches. The old standard, established in 2007, said a player should not be allowed to return to the same game if he lost consciousness. Wednesday’s memo also says players “are to be encouraged to be candid with team medical staffs and fully disclose any signs or symptoms that may be associated with a concussion.” Nearly one-fifth of 160 NFL players surveyed by The Associated Press from Nov. 2-15 replied that they have hidden or played down the effects of a concussion. The league said its concussion committee, team doctors, outside medical experts and the NFL Players Association developed the new standards. NFLPA assistant executive director George Atallah said the union is “encouraged by this new policy.” He added that the NFLPA “will continue to examine these issues independently to recommend the best possible policies and procedures.” The new policy states, in part: “Once removed for the duration of a practice or game, the player should not be considered for return-to-football activities until he is fully asymptotic, both at rest and after exertion, has a normal neurological examination, normal neuropsychological testing, and has been cleared to return by both his team physician(s) and the independent neurological consultant.” Teams were told this month they have to find an outside neurologist who can be consulted on concussions, and NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said this week the league is “very close” to having all of those independent doctors approved and in place.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Tiger Woods said he let his family down with “transgressions” he regrets “with all of my heart,” and that he will deal with his personal life behind closed doors. His statement Wednesday follows a cover story in Us Weekly magazine that reports a Los Angeles cocktail waitress claims she had a 31-month affair with the world’s No. 1 golfer. “I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves,” Woods said on his Web site. “I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.” Woods did not offer details of any alleged relationship. “I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart,” he said. “I will strive to be a bet-

Crash caused $3,200 in damage ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods caused $3,200 in property damage, wasn’t wearing a seat belt and was driving erratically outside his Florida home before crashing into a tree, according to a final report released Wednesday. The six-page report only describes the accident and does not include statements from Woods, his wife, Elin Nordegren, or witnesses. It also included 105 photos of the accident scene.

The final accident report shows Woods didn’t just hit a fire hydrant and tree. Upon leaving his driveway, Woods’ vehicle rubbed up against a line of bushes, crossed over a curb, onto a grass median and into a row of hedges before swerving left into the hydrant and crashing into the tree, an illustration in the report shows. Woods’ vehicle was traveling 30 mph in a 25 mph zone. Damage to the SUV was estimated at $8,000.

Merritt leads at PGA Q-school THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Troy Merritt shot a 5-under 67 to lead a field of 170 players after the first round of the PGA Tour qualifying tournament. Merritt had four birdies during a fivehole stretch on the back nine on the Links Course at Bear Lakes Country Club. He had a one shot lead over Jay Williamson. Ty Harris, Billy Horschel and Andrew Buckle were another shot back after 3-under 69s on Wednesday. The top 25 finishers and ties after the sixround tournament will earn cards for 2010, with roughly 50 more earning fully exempt

status for the Nationwide Tour. Other notable firstround scores included David Duval with 71, Jesper Parnevik at 73, Tim Herron at 74 and former British Open champion Todd Hamilton at 76.

LPGA QUALIFYING DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Nikki Garrett shot a 5-under 67 on Wednesday to take the lead after the first round of the LPGA qualifying tournament. French star Gwaldys Nocera, a member of the European Solheim Cup team, was one shot off the pace. Japan’s Yuki Mitsuka, Spain’s Azahara Munoz, South Korean Il Hee Lee and Leah Wigger from Louisville, Ky., were another shot back.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme wears bandage around his injured hand as he talks with center Ryan Kalil prior to practice Wednesday. Delhomme broke a finger on Sunday.

Panthers dodge QB question CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Panthers were in full secrecy mode Wednesday, with Jake Delhomme hiding his hand in his pocket and coach John Fox talking in circles. Despite the obstacles, it was hard to ignore the hints that Carolina will have a new quarterback Sunday against Tampa Bay. Matt Moore practiced with the first team — albeit in a cramped indoor facility because of heavy rain — while an idle Delhomme had his throwing hand wrapped and his index and middle fingers taped together. Delhomme had been able to keep his job despite a career-high 18 interceptions in 11 games, but his broken finger may

finally sideline him and give the untested Moore a chance to get the Panthers (4-7) out of their offensive funk. Saying he’d be “hardpressed to grip a football right now,” Delhomme wouldn’t rule himself out Sunday as he kept his hand hidden in his pocket to attempt to shield whether the index or middle finger is broken. Fox stuck to his “day-to-day” mantra, but Moore and his teammates were preparing for his first start since 2007. “I think this is a great opportunity for Matt,” receiver Muhsin Muhammad said. “Obviously, we won’t do a lot of the things that Jake does well, but we’ll do the things that Matt does well.”

Toronto game puts more pep in Owens’ step TORONTO (AP) — Turns out, Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis just might get an invitation to the big birthday bash Terrell Owens is planning in New York City this weekend. When informed on Wednesday that Revis had expressed no intention of showing up as a party-crasher, Owens suggested he just might deliver a personal invite. “I’ll give him one after I score,” Owens told The Associated Press after the team held a brief workout at Toronto’s Rogers

Centre, where the Bills (4-7) will face Revis and the Jets (5-6) in Buffalo’s second annual “home” game on Thursday night. “That’s when I tell him he’s invited.” Snap! In a game between two AFC East rivals that’s being billed as “T.O. in T.O.,” the brash high-profile receiver has a renewed bounce in his step. Aside from being back in the spotlight on an international scale, he’s preparing for a prime-time game which coincides with his sudden hot streak.

Braves sign reliever Wagner to one-year deal ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Braves took another major step toward solidifying their pitching staff for next season, agreeing Wednesday to a $7 million, one-year contract with closer Billy Wagner. Next up: the offense. “The bullpen is one of the areas we needed to upgrade to get where we want to go,” Braves general manager Frank Wren said during a news conference at Turner Field. “Billy was at the top of our list. The first day of free agency, we gave him a call.”

Delhomme has done little well in the worst season of his career. He threw four more interceptions in Sunday’s 17-6 loss to the Jets, the last coming after he banged hands with New York linebacker Calvin Pace on a fourth-down completion. Delhomme said his finger bent toward his pinkie. Fox said they’ve had no discussions about placing Delhomme on injured reserve, but all signs point toward Moore getting the start against the Buccaneers (1-10). For many, it will be several weeks too late. Moore has become a fan favorite with Delhomme struggling — even as Moore struggles to prove to the coaching staff that he’s a good decision maker.

The six-time All-Star gets $6.75 million in 2010, and his deal includes a $6.5 million club option for 2011 with a $250,000 buyout. The option would become guaranteed if he finishes 50 games next season. The signing of Wagner to replace last year’s co-closers, Rafael Soriano and Mike Gonzalez, was Atlanta’s second big move of an already busy offseason. Tim Hudson re-signed to give the Braves six established starters and likely set up a trade to bulk up the offense, possi-

bly at next week’s winter meetings. Wren left little doubt that’s his next priority. The Braves are in the market for a power-hitting first baseman or outfielder, maybe even both. “We knew going into this offseason that we wanted to fix two areas: the bullpen and the offense,” Wren said. The 38-year-old Wagner missed most of last season following elbow ligament replacement surgery on Sept. 10, 2008.

With quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick providing a deep-threat dimension since taking over as starter, and Perry Fewell emphasizing an aggressive approach in going 1-1 since being appointed interim head coach, Owens is no longer an afterthought in what had been the Bills’ popgun attack. With 378 yards receiving and two TDs in his past three games, Owens has matched his scoring output and more than doubled the yardage he had in his first eight games.

GM board seeks faster change DETROIT (AP) — The leader of the new General Motors was done in by an old problem at the largest U.S. car maker: Change wasn’t happening fast enough. GM’s board and CEO Fritz Henderson parted ways Tuesday, the board upset that the automaker’s turnaround wasn’t moving more swiftly and Henderson frustrated with secondguessing, two people close to the former CEO said. Board Chairman Ed Whitacre Jr., the former head of AT&T Inc., will take over as CEO while a global search is conducted.

Black Friday verdict: So-so NEW YORK (AP) — New weekend shopping figures offered more evidence Wednesday confirming stores’ modest start to the holiday shopping season. Online sales held up more strongly. Retail sales for the three-day holiday weekend rose 1.6 percent compared with a year earlier, ShopperTrak said Wednesday, even

though slightly fewer people shopped, with traffic down 1.1 percent. ShopperTrak, which measures traffic and sales at more than 50,000 outlets, said that sales for the three-day weekend totaled $20.5 billion. That compares with $20.1 billion a year ago when sales and traffic fell dramatically after a decent performance on Black Friday.

The 1.1 percent decline in customer traffic for the three-day weekend compares with an 18.7 percent drop a year ago. Meanwhile, comScore Inc., an Internet research firm, reported that online sales rose 5 percent on the Monday after Christmas, a marketing blitz the industry calls “Cyber Monday.” Sales totaled $887 mil-

lion, matching the heaviest online shopping day on record, Dec. 9 of last year, according to comScore. For the holiday season to date, online sales rose 3 percent to $12.26 billion. “Retailers’ aggressive and early marketing efforts have so far succeeded in persuading consumers to open their wallets online,” Com-

Cary loses 140 Deere jobs

Founder cutting ties with Blackwater

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

RALEIGH (AP) — The man who built Blackwater USA into one of the world’s most respected and reviled defense contractors will no longer be involved in the company’s operations. A spokeswoman for the company, now called Xe (zee), said Wednesday that Erik Prince will relinquish involvement in its day-to-day operations and give up some of his ownership rights. Prince had appointed a new president and chief operating officer in a management shake-up earlier this year.

CARY — Deere & Co. has eliminated about 140 jobs in Cary this year as part of a broader restructuring to offset slowing sales. The company’s head count in the Triangle now stands at 710, including 434 at a FuquayVarina factory that makes lawn mowers and other turf equipment, and 276 at offices in Cary. Deere announced the merging of two divisions in April that would affect some jobs in Cary but didn’t specify how many. A Deere spokesman disclosed the total cut as the company reported its first quarterly loss since 2002. Sales of tractors, combines and other farm and lawn equipment fell 28 percent.

Study: Wind farms don’t affect values DENVER (AP) — A new government-funded study says wind farms have no measurable effect on property values. The Department of Energy’s Berkeley Lawrence National Laboratory analyzed nearly 7,500 singlefamily homes sales between 1996 and 1997 near 24 wind farms in nine states.

Ample supply drives oil below $77 NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices dipped Wednesday with more evidence energy demand is very weak and supplies of oil and gasoline are plentiful. Benchmark crude for January delivery dropped $1.72, or more than 2 percent, to $76.65 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In London, Brent crude for January delivery fell 67 cents to $78.68 on the ICE Futures exchange.

Score Chairman Gian Fulgoni said. This year, retailers spread out online deals throughout the holiday and Fulgoni said Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday were busier than they have been in years past. About half of the dollars spent online at U.S. Web sites on Cyber Monday originated from work computers.

Electronics soar, clothing stumbles NEW YORK (AP) — Electronics sellers and online merchants thrived in November, particularly on Black Friday, but clothing and luxury merchants struggled, according to estimates released Wednesday. Those results, combined with a trimmed sales prediction for retailers’ official November results, raise worries that some sectors could face tough going in the critical countdown to Christmas as they grapple with frugal Americans contending with job insecurity and tight credit. “Last year, it was uncertainty that was driving the cautiousness,” said Mary Delk, director of Deloitte Consulting. This year, it’s “anxiety about their (own) personal finances”

that’s making shoppers more frugal. Fat discounts drove shoppers to stores and online this past weekend, and Delk thinks it’s likely they won’t come back until the season’s final hours when the bargains are even better. The International Council of Shopping Centers trimmed its November sales growth forecast on Tuesday, citing more shoppers who are saying they’re putting off holiday shopping compared with a year ago. Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst at market research firm NPD Group, says that what’s comforting is that shoppers, who had slashed their spending all year, bought plenty of items for themselves this past weekend. That means there’s

plenty of gift buying to go, he said. Analysts are carefully studying how consumers behave during the holidays and beyond to get a sense of how strongly the economy will rebound from the worst recession since the 1930s. That’s because spending on goods and services for consumers accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity by federal measures. The holiday season accounts for as much as 40 percent of annual sales and profits for many retailers. There are some encouraging signs that shoppers are just a bit more open to discretionary purchases. The battered jewelry sector rose 4.6 percent percent in November, according to MasterCard Advisors’ SpendingPulse sales figures released Wednesday.

GameStop shares tumble NEW YORK (AP) — GameStop’s shares are falling after an announcement from WalMart that the big retailer is offering deals on popular video games and the Nintendo Wii leading up to the holidays. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said Wednesday it is lowering the prices of the most popular video games until Christmas Eve. It’s also running a promotion from Saturday through Dec. 12 giving shoppers who buy the Wii game console a $50 gift card. Analysts say the WalMart deals could undercut GameStop’s holiday sales or drive it to lower prices too.

AT&T pulls suit against Verizon ads NEW YORK (AP) — AT&T Inc. is giving up on a lawsuit that sought to force competitor Verizon Wireless to pull its “There’s a Map for That” commercials. AT&T filed the lawsuit in federal court in Atlanta last month, saying the Ve-

rizon ads amount to deceptive trade practices. AT&T said the ads, which show the range of AT&T’s “3G” network coverage for highspeed data, could give viewers the impression that AT&T has no service at all outside those areas. On Wednesday, AT&T

and Verizon filed a joint notice to withdraw the case. They are also abandoning a court case in New York. In that case, each company claimed that ads by the other — with claims like “most reliable 3G network” and “more bars in more places — were false.

INDEX

NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market struggled but held its ground Wednesday as an upbeat assessment of the economy from the Federal Reserve offset drops in bank and energy stocks. Most stocks finished higher after the Fed said regional economic activity has generally improved since its last snapshot in October. The central bank said consumers have increased spending even as employment and commercial real estate remain weak. The Dow Jones industrial average slipped 19 points after gaining 162 points in the first two days of the week. Reports of analysts’ warnings about bank stocks hurt financial shares, while a steep drop in oil weighed on energy companies. A mixed reading on the labor market kept trading subdued. The ADP

National Employment Report said private companies cut 169,000 jobs in November, fewer than in October but worse than the 160,000 cuts expected by economists polled by Thomson Reuters. It was the eighth monthly drop. Investors are focused on the job market, which remains weak despite signs of life in manufacturing, housing and other parts of the economy. “It all falls apart if you don’t get jobs to come around,” said Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Wealth Management. The Dow fell 18.90, or 0.2 percent, to 10,452.68, pulling off of a 14-month high reached Tuesday. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index edged up 0.38, or less than 0.1 percent, to 1,109.24, and the Nasdaq composite index rose 9.22, or 0.4 percent, to 2,185.03.

right to dismantle financial firms that pose a risk to the economy, even if they are healthy. The legislation also would require a detailed congressional audit of the privacy-shrouded Federal Reserve and would assess fees up front on large financial institutions to pay for the failure of their competitors. The action sets the stage for a full House vote next week on comprehensive regulatory changes meant as a response to the finan-

cial sector’s meltdown more than a year ago. That package, set to go to the House floor on Wednesday, would include the creation of a new consumer finance protection agency, restrictions on complex financial instruments blamed for feeding last year’s panic and restrictions on Wall Street compensation. The committee’s vote, however, was closer than expected. Ten members of the Congressional Black Caucus did not vote, sig-

naling their continuing demands that the Obama administration address unrelated joblessness issues facing the black community, where unemployment far exceeds the national average. Their absence from Wednesday’s vote signals potential troubles ahead for the comprehensive regulatory package if their concerns are not addressed. Forty-one House members, all Democrats, are members of the caucus.

UN predicts bounce back in 2010 sures continue — at least until there are clearer signals of a more robust recovery, an increase in employment rates, and growing private sector demand. The U.N. report said an increasing number of economies showed positive growth in the second quarter of 2009, with the recovery continuing in the third quarter. It pointed to increased industrial production, a rebound in global equity markets, and a rise

in international trade. “This is an important turnaround after the free fall in world trade, industrial production, asset prices, and global credit availability which threatened to push the global economy into the abyss of a new Great Depression in early 2009,” the U.N. report said. But the report, The World Economic Situation and Prospects 2010, warned that “the recovery is uneven and conditions for sustained

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United Nations forecast Wednesday that the world economy will bounce back in 2010 with a global growth rate of 2.4 percent, but it warned that the recovery will be fragile. In a preview of its annual economic forecast, the U.N. credited the massive fiscal stimulus measures by governments worldwide since late 2008 for the expected rebound. It recommended that these stimulus mea-

WASHINGTON (AP) — A key House panel voted Wednesday to slap new restraints on big Wall Street institutions and to demand greater openness from the U.S. central bank, clearing a significant hurdle in the drive for a sweeping financial regulations overhaul. Motivated by the crisis that caused a near collapse in financial markets, the House Financial Services Committee approved legislation 31-27 that would give the government the

The first is the risk of prematurely abandoning financial stimulus measures and the second is the risk of a widening U.S. deficit and mounting external debt which could cause “a hard landing” for the U.S. dollar and set off a new wave of financial instability, it said.

Daimler moving some production to Alabama FRANKFURT (AP) — German carmaker Daimler AG said Wednesday it will move some of its Mercedes Benz C-Class car production to its Alabama plant to take advantage of a growing market, lower production costs and to avoid currency fluctuations. Daimler, based in Stuttgart, said production of the new generation of the C-Class should start in 2014 at the plant at Vance, near Tuscaloosa. It added that the move will maintain its competitiveness, utilize growth opportunities, and let it respond to markets faster and with more flexibility.

Nokia sees handset market growing HELSINKI (AP) — Nokia Corp. said Wednesday it expects the global mobile phone market to grow by 10 percent in 2010, suggesting the industry is recovering from a global recession that has also hit handset sales. However, the world’s largest cell phone maker cautioned that its own market share volume, currently at some 38 percent, would be “flat” next year, but added that it expects the value of its market share to be up “slightly.”

Germany not happy with new plan for Opel FRANKFURT (AP) — Germany’s economic minister blasted GM’s restructuring plan for its Opel subsidiary on Wednesday, as Opel named two General Motors Corp. executives to its supervisory board and announced that the unit’s CFO had resigned. German Economy Minister Rainer Bruederle said the summary of the euro3.3 billion ($5 billion) concept — euro600 million ($900 million) of which GM wants to cover itself — was not a “request for state aid” and criticized it for failing to address several key concerns.

Fears mount over giant carp reaching Great Lakes

Air quality data is provided by the Forsyth County Environmental Affairs Department.

Obama science advisers grilled over hacked e-mails Climate change skeptics contend the messages reveal that researchers manipulated and suppressed data and stifled dissent, and conservative bloggers are dubbing it “Climategate.� In the first Capitol Hill airing of the issue, House Republicans Wednesday read excerpts from at least eight of the e-mails, saying they showed the world needs to re-examine experts’ claims that the science on warming is settled.

WASHINGTON (AP) – House Republicans pointed to controversial e-mails leaked from climate scientists and said it was evidence of corruption. Top administration scientists looking at the same thing found no such sign, saying it doesn’t change the fact that the world is warming. The e-mails from a British university’s climate center were obtained by computer hackers and posted online about two weeks ago.

CHICAGO (AP) – Fears that giant, voracious species of carp will get into the Great Lakes and wipe out other fish have led to rising demands that the government close the waterway connecting the lakes to the Mississippi River – an unprecedented step that could disrupt the movement of millions of tons of iron ore, coal, grain and other goods. The dispute could become an epic clash of competing interests: commerce, environmentalists and fishermen. Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm and five environmental groups threatened on Wednesday to sue the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to force it to temporarily shut three shipping locks near Chicago because of evidence that Asian carp may have breached the electrical barrier that is supposed to hold them back from the lakes. The environmental groups went further than the governor and said the Great Lakes and the Mississippi should be permanently separated to avert what Granholm called “ecological disaster.� Col. Vincent Quarles, commander of the Corps’ Chicago district, said the agency is considering all options but would not close the locks without

New actor takes on complex Scrooge in ‘A Christmas Carol’ BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – These days, Ebenezer Scrooge would be classified as “conflicted,” or said to be carrying baggage. A new actor this year will take on the complex character in The North Carolina Shakespeare Festival’s annual production of “A Christmas Carol.” Michael Huie, a Winston-Salem-based actor, writer and teacher, will portray the man whose name is synonymous with being a skinflint and with sucking holiday cheer from a room. In the past three decades, Scrooge was played by Pedro Silva (10 years), Mark Lazar (nine years) and Allan Edwards (10 years). Silva directs this year’s production, as he has done in recent Michael Huie years. Actor who portrays Scrooge This year’s performances begin Friday and continue through Dec. 20 at the High Point Theatre. Huie, 47, considers himself the new guy in the production, even though he played Young Scrooge for the Shakespeare Festival when he was 29 years old. He also acted with the company 1990-92. He’s new, he said, because actors and audiences alike tend to return year after year, and some of each group have

‘This production is beautiful and spectacular, but it’s also very heartfelt and hopefully honest, and when people see it they’ll share Scrooge’s transformation.’

DONATIONS

IN BRIEF

Donations of canned food will be accepted at performances of “A Christmas Carol.” They are for the Neighbors Feeding Neighbors campaign and will be distributed to needy families in High Point through agencies in the Community Resource Network: Helping Hands Ministry, Hope Outreach Center, Macedonia Family Resource Center, Open Door Ministries, the Salvation Army of High Point, Sincerely Agape, Southern Triad Mission, West End Ministries.

grown up with the production. Huie, however, missed those experiences. Huie is not concerned that he will bring too much of other actors’ work to his version of Scrooge, for the simple reason that he hasn’t seen the play for 18 years. He does, however, want to avoid the over-the-top Christmas spectacular, Radio City Music Hall-type feel. “This production is beautiful and spectacular, but it’s also very heartfelt and hopefully honest, and when people see it they’ll share Scrooge’s transformation,” he said. In the Shakespeare Festival’s production, dialogue is taken directly from the original story by Charles Dickens. Huie agrees with Silva’s assessment that Scrooge is a man of substance who came to neither his miserliness nor his transformation into a caring man lightly. He also doesn’t want to play Scrooge as solely a bad guy. “He can’t be light, so I think of him having this massive chain, as (the ghost of ) Jacob Marley does, with him,” Huie said. “He’s carrying the weight of the world. All he has time for is his business because he has

shut out everything else. He mocks Fred for getting married, and gradually that point of view turns around. Everyone wants a second chance about something, and Scrooge gets the ultimate second chance. “The play also says something about the holidays. Now they represent the busiest time of year, when you’re run dry. So hopefully you can take this in, and, if nothing else ... look at other people as being something you’re a part of and all in this together.” vknopfler@hpe.com | 888-3601

NEW YORK (AP) – Much of the prime-time audience lost to NBC when Jay Leno moved into prime-time has gone not to its rivals but the digital video recorder. Rival network executives seemed almost giddy at the possibilities last spring after NBC announced Leno would do a comedy show five nights a week at 10 p.m. There will be more viewers available “for people who put on great dramas,” said Leslie Moonves, CBS chief executive, “and that’s what we do.” It hasn’t quite worked out that way. NBC’s audience at that hour is down sharply, as many predicted. CBS is up 6 percent over last season, primarily because it moved the hit series “The Mentalist” into that slot; on three of the five nights, its audience is down. ABC is also down slightly at that hour, and it wasn’t exactly overwhelmed with hits last year, either. With one-third of American TV households now equipped with DVRs like TiVo, the 10 p.m. hour is emerging as a popular time for people to catch up on what they missed earlier in the evening, or earlier in the week.

Thursday, Dec. 3, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Brian Bonsall, 28; Anna Chlumsky, 29; Bruno Campos, 36; Holly Marie Combs, 36 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Focus on your professional and personal relationships if you want to keep things intact this year. You will regret making too hasty a decision. The more relaxed and open you are to other people’s troubles, the better you will do. What you offer will be repaid emotionally and financially. Your lucky numbers are 2, 11, 17, 21, 23, 37, 44 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Prepare to do things yourself. Taking on someone else’s fight will tax you more than you realize. Be patient and let everything fall into place before making your next move. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t put yourself in a compromising position because you don’t want to be challenged. You have what it takes to win if you push your own needs and desires. A short trip will clear up some pending issues. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Money matters will escalate if you try to buy your way out of a sticky personal situation. You may not want to give in to someone’s demands but, if it will allow you the freedom to do something you want to do, it will be worth it in the end. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Separate your personal and professional goals in order to get the most mileage out of your efforts. Showing your ability to multitask will impress someone who can make a difference to your future. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Take an entertaining approach to whatever situation you face at home or at work. An interesting partnership will enable you to find new means of raising or making money. Don’t wait or give anyone a chance to catch up. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you don’t put in your two cents worth, you cannot expect to have a voice when you don’t like what’s happening around you. You can make a difference not only to yourself but to those counting on your expertise. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your concern and interest will help you draw attention to something you believe in and want to pursue. Don’t be afraid to contact someone for input. Your thoughts will be heard and met by someone with influence. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may feel motivated to take matters into your own hands but consider the people who will be affected by your actions. Change may be inevitable and, if handled properly, can actually benefit you. Don’t let your emotions get involved. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Think big. Put your thoughts into motion. You will come up with a plan that should benefit you financially. A change forced on you by a personal partnership will be to your advantage. Let the situation run its course. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Taking on too much will be your downfall. You may not like what someone is doing but, by being a good sport, you will be spared some of the blame when things don’t turn out as planned. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you cannot follow through with the promises made you will lose the respect and confidence of someone important. There is no point in trying to push someone who isn’t going to budge. Find a new venue for something you want to promote. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Do whatever it takes to get people to recognize what you are up against or trying to prove. You may not win everyone’s favor but you will gain enough support to get started. Don’t make someone else’s confusion your problem. ★★★★★

TRICK TWO South couldn’t have enjoyed the play. Instead of relying on the clubs, he should lead a diamond at Trick Two and play low from dummy. East wins and returns a heart, and West takes the queen and leads a trump. South wins in his hand, takes the ace of diamonds, ruffs a diamond high, leads a trump to the king and ruffs a diamond. When diamonds break normally, South draws trumps with the ace and cashes the good diamond for his 10th trick.

Cowboy motorist helps troopers lasso 2 cows SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) – Two cows escaped from a trailer onto a busy Massachusetts highway, but a cowboy stuck in the traffic jam came to the rescue. State police said a man wearing a Western hat and boots lassoed the 500pound heifers Tuesday morning as they wandered on Interstate 91 South in Springfield.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 6 H K Q 10 9 4 3 2 D Q 3 C K 10 7. You are the dealer with neither side vulnerable. What do you say? ANSWER: This is a judgment call with no correct answer. Some players would open three hearts despite the excess high-card strength. Others would open a weak two-bid despite the sevencard suit. In some styles this is a mandatory bid of one heart. Any of those actions might work well and, since no opening bid is descriptive, so might a pass. North dealer Both sides vulnerable

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

Cy the Cynic says that if you can’t learn to do something well, at least learn how to enjoy doing it badly. I don’t know anyone who enjoys taking finesses; they’re often a snare and a delusion. If you habitually rely on finesses, you’d better learn to enjoy going down. Today’s declarer took the ace of hearts, drew trumps and led a club to his nine. This was the percentage play (in clubs, at least), but West took the ten, cashed the queen of hearts and led another heart. South ruffed but lost another club and a diamond: down one.
