COLD GETS OLD, TAKES TOLL

TRIAD – People checking out their first pay stubs for 2010 will find a difference in their federal withholding because of a change in the implementation of the broad tax cut under the federal stimulus. When Congress approved and President Barack Obama signed the nearly $800 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 11 months ago, the legislation in-

The Making Work Pay Tax Credit is 6.2% of a taxpayer’s earned income, with a maximum credit of $800 for a married couple filing jointly and $400 for other taxpayers. cluded a tax cut that was phased in through lower withholding from paychecks. But the tax cut from the stimulus didn’t officially take effect until April of last year. The stimulus tax cut, formally called the Making Work Pay Tax Credit, stays in effect through 2010. However, the withholding is being spread out over 12 months instead of nine, the Internal Revenue Service reports. “We received a year’s worth of credit in just nine months (in 2009),” the IRS indicates. During this year, eligible taxpayers “get the same amount as last year but during a 12-month period,” according to the IRS. The Making Work Pay Tax Credit is 6.2 percent of a taxpayer’s earned income, with a maximum credit of $800 for a married couple filing a joint return and $400 for other taxpayers. The tax break is phased out for higher income taxpayers, according to the IRS. “Most workers will qualify for the maximum credit. Because the credit is refundable (people can get it even if they owe no tax), most low-income workers will also qualify for the full credit,” the IRS reports. The Obama White House has handled the tax cut differently than the administration of President George W. Bush. The Bush administration sent a lump-sum, one-time check to taxpayers. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Frigid ground leads to water line breaks, headaches BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Folks who think it’s been tough for them coping with the cold during the past couple of weeks might want to touch base with Brian Parks. The 34-year-old water/sewer crew chief for the city of High Point Public Services Department has braved the elements to repair a flurry of water line breaks brought on by the unusually frigid winter. He’s worked around bone-chilling water streaming from pipes early in the morning when the temperature was as low as 13 degrees, trying to limit the amount of time city customers go without service. “You just kind of get used to it. The hardest thing is getting your

Icy hazards persist in South. 2A water turned off, especially in the dark locating the valves,” said the six-year city employee who attended Trinity High School. Parks and workers like him with municipal and county utilities have stayed busy because of higher-than-normal number of water line breaks. High Point recorded 15 water line breaks from Dec. 23 through Friday morning, said Terry Houk, assistant public services director. Usually there would be few to no breaks because of weather during late December and early January. “Typically we have more issues

in February when you usually have colder weather. It’s when the ground freezes, then unfreezes, and the ground shifts,” Houk said. High Point Public Services crews have been able to handle the line breaks in three to four hours, Houk said. When too many line breaks occur at once, the city can bring in contract crews to help with repairs, he said. The city of Thomasville has had a greater number of smaller water line breaks, but no major line breaks so far, City Manager Kelly Craver said Friday. “I’d attribute that more to good fortune,” he said. Craver worries that, as temperatures rise next week, more breaks could occur as pipes contract with the changing conditions. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Guilford County commissioners to study revaluation options BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER GUILFORD COUNTY – Guilford County Commissioner Steve Arnold wants to save taxpayers some pain by postponing the 2012 property revaluation. With the upheaval in real estate and credit markets the last two years, several counties have considered postponing their scheduled revaluations. The issue can be controversial among homeowners based on how much their homes are worth and when they bought them. Last year, Dare County officials postponed their scheduled 2010 revaluation a year in hopes that property values would rise and spare taxpayers a tax increase to keep county revenues at current levels. Dare uses a five-year revaluation cycle. Guilford’s cycle is eight years. “If we do this as scheduled, it won’t be a pretty picture,” Arnold, a High Point Republican and property developer, said during a Thursday county retreat. “It

won’t do any good to have reduced property values. Taxes will have to go up, even if the new rate is revenue neutral.” Because of increased values folArnold lowing revaluation, county officials often settle on a reduced tax rate, but falling property values create a gap. Annual property taxes are calculated by multiplying assessed value in 2004 by the current tax rate per $1,000 value. In some instances, old assessments create inequities between the share of taxes being paid by established property owners and those who built homes since 2004. “I think we should look at a fiveyear revaluation interval,” said Republican Commissioner Linda Shaw. Commissioners could see a report on their options in 60 days from Tax Director Ben Chavis. But it may be too late for county leaders to delay the re-assessments because the county is too

Longest-serving NC lawmaker turns himself in WHITEVILLE (AP) – North Carolina’s longestserving legislator turned himself in for booking after being charged with shooting a former client who was kicking his front door last summer. State Sen. R.C. Soles and an attorney arrived Friday at the Columbus County Jail for processing. A jail official said Soles was held until he posted a $5,000 unsecured bond. The Columbus County Democrat was indicted by a grand jury Thursday on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. The lawmaker’s attorney said the 75-year-old Soles shot 22-year-old Thomas Kyle Blackburn in self-defense last August. Blackburn wasn’t badly hurt. Soles has been a legislator for 41 years. He said he

won’t seek re-election in November. Attorney General Roy Cooper’s office is handling Soles’ prosecution after the local district attorney stepped aside because of his long ties to the powerful lawmaker. Blackburn’s shooting was the most violent in a series of attention-grabbing confrontations between the soft-spoken, small-town attorney and a handful of former clients. Soles has called local police for help more than a dozen times in the past two years and five different men have been charged with trespassing at Soles’ home or office. The State Bureau of Investigation has also been probing a 27-year-old man’s claim – later recanted – that Soles fondled him when he was 15.

And authorities said the continuing freeze called for renewed caution on the roadways.

Nearly 30 cars piled up in a pre-dawn crash near Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. In Alabama, packed shelters brought out extra cots and opened doors for people fearful of the deadly cold. Multiple deaths have been blamed on this week’s cold, including a 44-yearold man whose body was found face-down in the snow early Friday in Billings, Mont. In Ohio, a winter storm warning was in effect until Saturday morning. That’s

Every printed word in this paper, with the exception of the comics and the opinion page, is to be true. The comic page is supposed to make us laugh, the opinion page is to make us think. Sometimes they get confused, and we’ll have a good laugh at an opinion. Then we are reminded that the truth is not necessarily on this page of the paper but rather one’s interpretation of the truth. The greatest editor I ever met said “the stories in tomorrow’s paper cannot be supported by incorrect information in today’s paper.” In the Dec. 31 paper, that same editor wrote “Our optimism today is tempered by the fact that in power now is a Democratic presidential administration and a Democratic majority Congress that believes more government control and involvement in our

I wonder, what part of less restrictive government do you want? • Let the banks and investment houses run wild again? They will if you let them, then the people will again suffer to bail them out, as they did in the 1930s, as we are today. • More tax breaks to mega-agriculture as they manipulate the price of commodities and run what’s left of America’s family farms out of business? • Health insurance companies that are able to deny procedures with no recourse, but able to compensate their CEO $1,923 per hour? Tell us what that “less restric-

Guilford County libraries should be connected online Why isn’t the High Point Neal F. Austin Public Library connected online with other Guilford County libraries? For the last two months, I have gone online at the Thomasville library to get books because High Point didn’t have what I wanted. When I go online to Thomasville, I can get books from them as well as Lexington, North Davidson, West Davidson and other libraries in Davidson County because the county works together. The same with Archdale. I get

books from them and other towns in Randolph county, Asheboro for one. If Guilford County worked together, I wouldn’t have to go to other towns. SEBA NORMAN High Point

Rating system for adult-care homes tightens

The News & Observer, Raleigh, Jan. 5 Although the state of North Carolina has been issuing “star” ratings for adult-care homes in a more complete way for the last year, 2010 promises a stronger, and for those families who need to find a home for a loved one, more informative rating system. Tougher standards will take into account, for example, past penalties that have been imposed on homes for everything from relatively small safety standard violations to outright neglect. This is important. Last year, the star ratings didn’t take penalties into account. Now they will, and a home that has had problems will likely be penalized for them when it comes time to be rated by the state. Advocates for the elderly, or others who live in the homes because of various infirmities, have long protested that the state has not adequately policed the homes, and cited too many cases where patients have been put in danger or have suffered various degrees of mistreatment. Lou Wilson, a lobbyist for long-term care facilities, has argued over many a legislative session that the homes, most of which receive state money for taking care of the elderly and disabled, have been underpaid for doing so. She has noted the responsibilities are great, and as more and more people with chronic illnesses rely on the homes, it becomes an increasingly expensive and labor-intensive business. Certainly compensation is something the state has to monitor, although brutal budget times won’t offer much hope for more pay anytime soon. The most important step for now, and the Legislature has recognized it with these new rules for ratings, is making sure that family members who are looking for a place for their mother or grandmother or someone with a profound disability, can get all the information they want and all they need. The star rating system now in full effect, with homes’ records taken into account and much information available on a host of Web sites (some through counties, others through staff offices under the Department of Health and Human Services), ought to provide some reliable information. And those who have had no experience in making this kind of decision would be smart to visit any homes they are considering and give them a careful once-over. In addition, families should seek out those who have residents in the homes, or have had people there. Selecting a home is in one way like buying a house, by a multiple of two. This is going to be a residence for those who may yet live a long time, and their time at “home” should be happy and serene. In addition, their special needs must be handled by staff people who care about patients and about doing their own jobs not just with efficiency but with a personal care for those they’re watching over. Stars are fine and the system is good, in other words, but families need to do some of their own “rating.”

Some resolutions are worth making, keeping M

aking New Year’s resolutions easily is done and just as easily broken. Years ago, someone said, “January 2, is when most people find that it’s easier to break a resolution than a habit.” Another warned, “Beware of having too many resolutions and too little action.” Why should I or anybody be writing about resolutions at this late date when the time to think about that was two weeks ago? The simple answer is we can make resolutions any day, any time of the year and keep or break them. The word “resolution” is related to determination, tenacity, settlement, firmness, decidedness, intention and the will. My doctor told me many times, “I want you to get down to your marrying weight.” I distilled all I knew about gaining and losing weight. I decided there was only one way to lose weight and that was to reduce my caloric

consumption. My plan was to work out three times each day. I was determined to do that and it did not happen on a New Year’s SHARING Day. My workout demanded THE SPIRIT discipline. So, at each meal, I Bill did my exercise Ellis which I called, ■■■ for lack of a more sophisticated name, a “pushie.” Halfway through what I normally ate, I simply pushed away from the table and ate no more until the next meal. In about three months, I could button shirt collars, trousers were comfortable around the waist, coats would button and sweaters fit. When I hit that “wedding date weight,” I put on my flashiest shorts and strutted into the kitchen where Kitty was preparing breakfast, flexed

Practicing the corporal and spiritual works of mercy should be an essential part of our daily practice of Christianity; we cannot be good Christians if we do not act as Christians ought. The corporal works of mercy are well-known: to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, visit the sick, ransom the These things I have spoken unto captive, and bury the dead. you, that in me ye might have Their practice insures that peace. In the world ye shall have the temporary, physical tribulation: but be of good cheer; needs of our fellow humans I have overcome the world. are met. The spiritual works John 16:33 of mercy, because they focus on our spiritual needs, are arguably more important, since they concern the well-being of our immortal souls. There are seven spiritual works of mercy: to warn the sinner; instruct the ignorant; counsel the doubtful; comfort the sorrowful; bear wrongs patiently; forgive all injuries; and pray for the living and the dead. Some of these works may require considerable tact and discretion in how, or even whether, they are carried out. One may not always have the means or the station in society to admonish sinners or instruct the ignorant, and our attempts to comfort the sorrowful may not be wanted. But, others are what are sometimes called "perfect" duties and must always be carried out. We must always bear wrongs patiently, and we are instructed to forgive all injuries. We should reflect on the spiritual works of mercy and how we can more fully implement them in our life.

TRIAD – The stress of the upcoming tax season can be a headache for anyone – including tax preparers themselves. Managing the number of applicants for temporary positions during tax season, especially in a recession, can be another headache. “Last year, we just had too many applicants,” said Clay Earley, franchise owner of several Liberty Tax offices in High Point, including the office at 2200 N. Main St. “We were overwhelmed with the response.” Each year, the tax service hires temporary preparers, marketing associates and “wavers” who stand outside of the offices to greet passers-by. To combat the surge of applications from last year, Earley cut his advertising for the positions, which will employee about 80 people during tax season. “I didn’t advertise as aggressively as previous years knowing I had such a good turnout last year,” he said. “It’s been a little more manageable.” Ann Lancaster, an office manager for H&R Block at 1633 Spring Garden St. in Greensboro, said most of its temporary positions in the Triad had been filled by the end of last month. “Our employees have been trained, placed and are ready to go,” she said. “We may hire a few more, but we’ll have to get them through the training.” Lancaster said Triad H&R Block offices, with locations in High Point, Greensboro, Winston-Salem and Asheboro, began hiring and training customer greeters and receptionists in November. Employees of both agencies go through multiple training sessions to prepare them for the jobs, which is a turnoff to some workers, Lancaster said. Still, the temporary jobs can be appealing to those that have lost work during the recession. “I even have prior preparers who work here every year who are increasing their hours because their spouses lost their jobs,” she said.

ARCHDALE – A new restaurant will open in a former franchise location of Carter Brothers BBQ and Ribs in Archdale. Crossroads Restaurant will begin serving customers at 11 a.m. on Monday at 10210 N.

Consolidation could speed building approvals BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – County leaders have set their sights on consolidating planning and building inspection services with Greensboro in hopes of speeding up customer service. During a Thursday retreat, commissioners set a tentative July 1 target date to start making changes guided by a task force. Customers could see a new agency as soon as the end of the year if governing bodies approve. Although High Point has been represented on the study task force, the city’s participation in a new agency is not certain, said Marlene Sanford, task force chairwoman. “High Point can be

Needed: Guilford County and the cities and towns should reconcile their land-use plans and computer software, according to a task force report, so city standards would apply automatically in new urban-style developments.

months to apply for a rezoning to meet all the reviews,” Sanford said. “Getting water and sewer service settled for customers slows us down. We won’t be able to compete after the recession if we don’t make some changes.” “We should be able to handle these services quickly,” said Democratic Commissioner Kirk Perkins, a real estate appraiser and agent. “We don’t want people to go elsewhere.” Although planners have not settled on an agency name and how costs would be shared, they have recommended that a single director, hired jointly by the county and the participating cities, should lead the new agency. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Mr. Sink left Cotton Grove to attend college at North Carolina State University, where he graduated in 1943 having earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Agronomy.

After college, Mr. Sink served in the U.S. Army during World War II as an officer in the Infantry Corps. He resettled in Davidson County after the war and spent most of his working life as the owner of Green Acres Farm, a commercial egg production and beef cattle farm. As a farmer, Mr. Sink served the State of North Carolina as President of both the NC Beef Cattlemen Association and NC Egg Marketing Association. In addition, he was a member of the NC AgriBusiness Council and acted as Chairman of the advisory Committee to the Dean of the School of Agriculture at NC State. Mr. Sink was an active participant in his community and multiple civic organizations. In particular, he dedicated much time and attention to the Lexington Kiwanis Club, where he once served as its President. As a Kiwanian, he served as the President of the Davidson County Fair, which he managed for 30 years. Mr. Sink was instrumental in building Kamp Kiwanis, which provides a safe recreational retreat for disadvantaged children.

Whose responsibility is it to notify us of a death in the family? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Left in The Dark

Dear Abby: An old friend from high school came to visit. While she was here I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but notice that her teeth and gums were in awful shape. Her gums were red and swollen, with dark plaque around the gum lines. I feel terrible for her. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hate to see her lose her teeth. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only 30, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in trouble if she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a dentist ASAP. How can I let her know that she really, really needs to do this? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Concerned in L.A.

Dear Concerned: Have a heart-to-heart talk with your friend and ask her why she hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been seeing a dentist. Tell her you are worried about her because diseases of the mouth can cause problems in other areas of the body or be a sign of illness. If her problem is a fear of dentists, she should know that there are dentists who specialize in treating patients like her who can administer antianxiety medicines to help her. And if her problem is money, that she should contact dental schools in her state to see if she could be treated as part of their supervised training for dental students. You are right to be concerned about your friend, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put off talking to her.

round covers in the landscape can be a boon or a bane. A boon if you have to cover large areas of troublesome soil that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grow other more decorative plants such as annual flowers, blooming shrubs or flowering perennials. A bane if you choose the wrong ground cover and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep it within bounds. Very few plants inspire a love or hate reaction like Hederahelix or English ivy. Traditionally, an inhabitant of formal and old estate landscapes or English gardens, this tough ivy can be a workhorse or cause you to work like a horse to keep it in bounds. As with all plants of great stature, there is actually an organization created to expound its virtues, the American Ivy Society. The organization is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the genus Hedera through education and promotion.

Get out, join a group or get involved in a cause that moves you. Idle time is the enemy and will lead to anxious behavior and arguments with loved ones. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Negotiate your position within a group or partnership that needs to make some changes. Don’t let little setbacks slow you down when it’s important to move forward. Leave time for a romantic encounter late in the day. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can develop a skill you have and find someone interested in using what you have to offer. There is money to be made but only if you are relentless in your pursuit. Don’t let anyone stifle your attempts to turn something you love to do into a lucrative pastime. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t leave anything to chance. You need to control the situation, not give in to someone else’s demands. Step up and take over whether you like change or not. Love is on the rise. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Participate in whatever changes are taking place at home or at work. It’s up to you to show your enthusiasm if you want to be counted as one of the team. Don’t let someone take your place or push you aside when you are truly the better person to take the lead. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You will have a good effect on the people you deal with and can help when it comes to serious decisions. Romance is in the picture and, with a couple of affectionate gestures, you can enhance your love life and make someone very happy. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Stay out of the line of fire. There will be plenty to disagree with but now is not the time. Avoid any interaction that may put you in a vulnerable position. Embrace change with optimism. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Put a little effort into your appeal. A short journey will lead to romance and change the course of your personal future. Get involved in activities that introduce you to inspirational people. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take advantage of anyone offering to do things for you but don’t be ungrateful. Your services will be welcomed and will lead to an interesting financial partnership. It’s sharing with others that will advance your own dreams. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If there are offers on the table, you should be considering one of them seriously. A change in your current direction will lead to an unusual source of income. A commitment to someone you care for will ensure you are on the same page. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put your emotions on the backburner for now. You have to deal with each issue as it arises or you will get bogged down. Don’t let anyone convince you that you can bypass the inevitable. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Love and romance are in a high cycle and will help make this day very special. Do something nice for someone you love and the response will be overwhelming. There is a gift or reward heading your way. ★★★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

The United States reached the final of the 2009 Bermuda Bowl where it faced its ancient foe, Italy. The U.S. took an early lead, fell behind, then recovered and held on to win, 285-249. Maybe you think nothing succeeds like excess, but overreliance on science cost the U.S. in today’s deal. At one table, East-West for Italy played at three hearts after a competitive auction. As it happened, five hearts was unbeatable.

REPLAY The Italians must have feared the loss of a game swing, but in the replay the auction went sour for the U.S. It looks to me, a simple-minded soul, that if the U.S. East thought he might have a game, he might have acted at his second turn or tried three diamonds at his third turn. But in these days of super-scientific bidding, East offered up a valueshowing double. Maybe West should have run to three hearts (Italy’s West did so in basically the same position). But West passed, and South wrapped up nine tricks for plus 470 and 12 IMPs to Italy.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K 9 5 3 2 H Q 6 D 10 9 7 C K 4 2. Your partner opens one heart, you respond one spade, he bids two clubs and you return to two hearts. Partner then bids three hearts. What do you say? ANSWER: Your preference bid of two hearts promised only a doubleton in support; with threecard support, you’d have raised directly. Since all of your honors may be useful, bid four hearts. Partner may make it if he has as little as 8 7, A K J 8 4 3, 8, A Q 7 6. West dealer E-W 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.

Washington couple collects cans to pay for wedding SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) – Love for each other and the environment – and creative thriftiness – have prompted a Spokane couple to collect aluminum cans to help pay for their wedding. Andrea Parrish and Pe-

ter Geyer already have more than 18,000 cans in their living room – nearly 5 percent of their goal of collecting 400,000 of the containers. The Spokesman-Review newspaper says that would be about 5 tons of

aluminum, worth about $3,800 when recycled. Parrish and Geyer hope to meet their goal by their planned July 31 wedding. They set up a Web site to explain their plan at weddingcans.com.

GARFIELD

Can 9-year-old achieve herculean status?

ear Dr. Donohue: My husband, a gym rat (his words, not mine), wants to start our 9-year-old son weightlifting. I think this is dangerous and foolish. As far as I can tell, the boy hasn’t begun puberty, and I know testosterone is necessary for muscle development. I also wonder about the damage to bones and muscles from too early a start in weightlifting. Please tell me your thoughts. And when does puberty begin? – A.L.

BLONDIE

B.C.

In the past, the thoughts you express were common teachings. Weightlifting was discouraged until a child had entered puberty. The belief was that without testosterone, muscle and strength building were impossible. That’s not the case, and it’s been shown not to be true time and again. For a boy his age, however, aerobic exercise should be emphasized, things like running, jogging, biking, swimming and playing sports such as soccer, where there is plenty of nonstop running. As for strength training, go for it. The boy has a knowledgeable instructor in his dad. The child isn’t going to turn into a Hercules, but his muscles and bones are going to get stronger. He will improve his balance and agil-

ity and his confidence. His training will prevent injuries. Your husband HEALTH has to go about this Dr. Paul sensibly. Donohue The boy ■■■ shouldn’t lift any weight he cannot lift easily for eight successive times. That’s the best way to determine a safe weight. In the early days of his program, he should lift the weight only six times and then take a rest. He can do two more sets of six lifts if he’s not straining to do so. When he can lift a weight 16 times successively, your husband can increase the weight, and the boy goes back to six consecutive lifts He also can do exercises that use body weight as the resistance – sit-ups, push-ups, chin-ups and on and on. The average age for the onset of male puberty is 9 years, 6 months. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have a 14-year-old daughter who is a runner. She developed a painful lump beneath her knee. She always has been a stoic about any injuries and pain, but she complained about this, so I knew it was troublesome. I took

her to our family doctor. He made the diagnosis of Osgood-Schlatter’s disease. We’re in the dark about it. What is it? How long will she be off running? – L.H. Feel right beneath your kneecap. You’ll feel a bony projection that comes from the tibia, the larger of the two lower leg bones. The projection is the tibial tubercle. It’s not always firmly attached to the tibia until maturity is attained. The tendon of the large thigh muscles attaches to that tubercle. When those powerful thigh muscles contract, the tendon pulls on the tubercle with great force. Repeated contractions can pull it loose from the bone. The result is a painful, swollen lump – OsgoodSchlatter’s disease. It’s a common childhood injury. Rest and restricted activities almost always heal the condition. Movement isn’t totally forbidden, so long as it doesn’t cause pain. It takes around two months for healing. In some instances, it can take as long as a year or more. 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

Bulldogs thwart Andrews’ rally BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

TRINITY – By the time the T. Wingate Andrews boys turned up the heat on defense, Trinity was able to stay just cool and calm enough to pull out a 63-58 win in the Bulldogs’ home gymnasium. “We got a lead in the first half, so we never had to play from behind,” Bulldogs coach Tim Kelly said. “Our team is so young and inexperienced, I knew they were going to make a run at us. It started in the fourth quarter.” Trinity led 35-26 at halftime and did not relinquish its hold on the game. The Red Raiders were unable to overcome Trinity’s lead due to turn-

overs which frequently killed Andrews’ possessions. Trinity, meanwhile, played more fundamentally sound to pull out the win, converting layups, free throws and mid-range jumpers to hold off the Raiders’ rally. The Bulldog offense responded to defensive pressure by converting fast-break opportunities for much of the game, but Trinity nearly unraveled in the face of Andrews’ press in the fourth quarter. Uncharacteristic turnovers prevented the team from extending its advantage. “We knew we couldn’t play that way the entire game (because of depth issues),” Andrews coach James Abell said of limit-

ing the use of the press. “The kids played hard, but we were hoping we didn’t have to get to that point. We knew we were going to have to play almost perfect and they were going to have to mess up.” The closest Andrews came to erasing the deficit was at the four-minute mark, when the Bulldogs’ margin was chopped to 51-48. As the host team did throughout the night, Trinity (11-3, 2-0) answered with a free throw and two more layups to quickly stretch the lead back to eight. Matt Watkins had 24 points to lead the Bulldogs and Nathan Willette finished with 17. Alex Smith and Torian Showers had 19 and 13, respectively, for Andrews (5-6, 1-1).

Red Raider girls sneak past Trinity BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

TRINITY – A hotly contested game between T. Wingate Andrews and Trinity on Friday night ended with a series of plays that seemed cruelly ironic. Red Raiders guard Bria Byrd tied the game at 42 with a floater in the lane with eight seconds left. Following the made basket, Sequaya Jackson stole the ensuing inbounds pass and was fouled with 2.2 seconds remaining. Jackson made the second of two free throws to give Andrews a 43-42 victory over the Bulldogs. “I think we showed tonight we can get down and fight. We can play with teams,” Red Raiders coach Weaver Walden said. “Sequaya came through for us with that free throw, but not just her. I think everybody on our team played well in the fourth quarter.” Andrews became much-maligned by the home crowd for an aggressive full-court press that left Bulldogs fans crying foul. And while the impact of

officiating might have been up for debate depending on whose fans voiced their complaints, the game-changing proficiency of the Raiders’ defensive adjustments is not debatable. Trinity (5-8, 1-1) dominated the pace early with the help of solid defense from Logan Terry and eight first-quarter turnovers from Andrews. Terry, one of three Bulldogs injured during the game, led her team with 15 points and added five steals in an impressive all-around performance for Trinity’s floor leader. “What Logan does on the floor speaks for itself,” Bulldogs coach Renee Hayes said of Terry, who later returned from her injury. “She’s a phenomenal ball player, she’s a phenomenal leader. She shows extremely good character with encouraging younger players.” Elaina Skarote had a game-high 17 points – including five treys – and DON DAVIS JR. | HPE Cherish McArthur added nine for the Bria Byrd of T.W. Andrews and Trinity’s Hannah Mebane (22) and Red Raiders (4-8, 2-0). Christy Camp- Courtney Cox scramble for the ball during Friday night’s PAC6 2A bell had nine for Trinity. contest. Andrews won, 43-42.

Highlanders pose tall task for Panthers BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – High Point University faces a tall order when Big South men’s preseason favorite Radford visits the Millis Center tonight (7 p.m., 98.3 FM). From a team that won the league regular-season and tournament titles, the Highlanders feature last year’s player of the year – 6-foot11 senior center Art Parakhouski – and all-conference selection Joey Lynch-Flohr, a 6-8 senior forward. Radford added a third threat up front by getting 6-8 forward Lazar Trifunovic, a Serb who transferred from Bing-

Point coach Scott Cherry said. “Parakhouski is a load. Lynch-Flohr can step out and hit the 3, and now they have Trifunovic also.” Cherry says it’s the biggest front line the Panthers will face since losing to Wake Forest. “We learned something in that game and we are better since then,” Cherry said. “Our hope is to run and wear them down and possibly get them into foul trouble. They are not very deep. They don’t play many people, so we hope our depth will come into play. If we can get one of those bigs out of the lineup, then

we will match up much better.” The Panthers have only one player who matches up with Radford across the front: 6-11 center Cruz Daniels. Cherry has been starting just one forward – 6-6 Corey Law – and three guards who are 6-3 or shorter. “We need to have good games from our big men, particularly Cruz,” Cherry said. “We must deny their big players from getting the ball or stop them from getting to the basket if they do get the ball. The guys who come off the bench must step it up.” gsmith@hpe.com |888-3519

HIT AND RUN

---

ne of my favorite weekends in sports arrives today. It’s about time! After nearly two months almost exclusively limited to nonconference action, ACC basketball hits high gear with the first complete slate of league showdowns. Today’s schedule features four conference clashes: Virginia at N.C. State at noon, Duke at Georgia Tech at 2, Boston College at Clemson at 4 and Wake Forest at Miami at 6.

On Sunday, it’s Florida State at Maryland at 5:30 p.m. and Virginia Tech at North Carolina at 7:45. In a span of 48 hours, we’ll see all 12 ACC teams take the court in games that count toward the league regular-season crown. Don’t get me wrong – I enjoy a great nonconference confrontation as much as the next guy. But starting today, every ACC men’s bas-

ketball game has the potential to be great. Conference basketball creates a level of excitement and uncertainty that cannot be matched by anything short of March Madness. It’s a wild ride full of surprises. And it all begins this afternoon. Enjoy!

retaliating for Ruutu’s hit on Tucker in the teams’ last meeting. On Oct. 23, Ruutu sent Tucker into the boards and, eventually, off the ice on a backboard, leaving behind a pool of blood on the ice. Ward, who made his 11th

straight start, flirted with his first shutout since a 9-0 victory over the New York Islanders on April 7. Carolina, which has picked up seven points in its last six games, entered with 29 points — 10 behind Toronto, the second-worst team in the East.

CHAPEL HILL (AP) — Ninth-ranked North Carolina will be shorthanded again for Sunday’s Atlantic Coast Conference opener against Virginia Tech.

Cowboys roll into playoffs ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Now the Dallas Cowboys have to figure out how to do it again. A week after shutting out Philadelphia to clinch the NFC East title and shaking some of their reputation for late-season lapses, the Cowboys (11-5) stay home for a rematch tonight against their division rival. It will be the first playoff game in Jerry Jones’ new $1.2 billion showplace stadium and a chance to end the 13year postseason winless

drought that is the longest in team history. “This is when it all needs to come into place and unfold for us,” tight end Jason Witten said. “All that other stuff is great ... But I really believe that we know what’s at stake and this when we need to play big.” Two out of three won’t be good enough for Dallas, which after beating Philadelphia (11-5) for the second time this season last Sunday got caps and T-shirts commemorating its division title.

“We’ve gotten a couple of those shirts and hats before,” Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb said. “If you don’t win this game, I don’t think too many people are going to remember who won the NFC East.” The 24-0 loss last weekend kept Philadelphia, which had won six in a row, from clinching the No. 2 seed and a firstround bye. The Eagles instead are the No. 6 seed with no chance of a home playoff game.

Alabama head coach Nick Saban holds the BCS championship trophy after the Crimson Tide defeated Texas 37-21 in the title game Thursday in Pasadena, Calif.

Saban discounts talk of repeat PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Nick Saban cracked a few jokes and even some smiles, deadpanning about the players’ poor execution of his celebratory Gatorade bath. And it didn’t take long for him to start looking ahead to the challenges Alabama faces. This is what the Crimson Tide coach is like the morning after winning a national championship — a tad more relaxed but no less focused. Think you’ll be the favorite to repeat, coach? “People who make those statements sort of just look at the periphery of well, ’You’ve got Julio Jones, you’ve got Mark Ingram, you’ve got Trent Richardson, the quarterback’s coming back, so therefore everything’s going to turn up roses,”’ Saban said Friday. “But that’s not necessarily the case. You’ve got

to build a team.” He’s already rebuilt the program. The Tide wrapped up its latest national title with Thursday night’s 37-21 victory over Texas, further cementing Saban’s spot in ’Bama lore after just three seasons. Literally. Plans for a Saban statue are “already underway,” athletic director Mal Moore said. It’ll join the ones of Bear Bryant and the three other coaches to win national championships at Alabama. It’s a historic monument for a coach who spends scant time worrying about history. Saban said he hadn’t thought about that until wife Terry brought it up Friday morning. “In all honesty, I guess that when you’re driven and you put as much into what you do as we have not just for this year but

for 30-something years, you would hope that something you do leaves a mark and the way you did it leaves a mark that is positive, that maybe could affect someone in a positive way in the future,” Saban said. A big reason for his success is his ability to focus on the present and future. Even hours after celebrating Alabama’s seventh AP national title and the eighth of the poll era. Saban took a call from President Obama on the ride back from the news conference. He even invited the president to play in the NBA — “Noontime Basketball Association” — of coaches and other staffers in the offseason if he’s ever around Tuscaloosa, Alabama spokesman Jeff Purinton said. Plans for a celebration in Tuscaloosa are in the works.

Leach accuses Texas Tech of slander LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Fired Texas Tech coach Mike Leach on Friday accused his former bosses of making “slanderous and libelous” statements intended to damage his reputation and hurt him financially. Court documents filed Friday said statements made by university administrators “were made intentionally” to harm Leach and expose him to financial harm.

Leach was fired Dec. 30, just days before Texas Tech played in the Alamo Bowl, after the family of receiver Adam James said he mistreated the player after he suffered a concussion. “The mere allegation that a head football coach would mistreat a student athlete threatens that coach’s reputation and prospects for future employment and exposes him to ridicule and contempt,” Leach’s attorney

said in the court filing. Leach has denied he mistreated James. The player said his coach twice ordered him to stand for hours while confined in a dark place during practice. Texas Tech spokeswoman Sally Post said Friday the school does not comment on pending litigation. “We’re confident that the facts in this matter speak for themselves,” she said.

Ga. Tech’s Thomas to enter NFL draft ATLANTA (AP) — Demaryius Thomas is the first of what may become a long list of Georgia Tech juniors to enter the NFL draft. Thomas, a junior wide receiver, announced his decision on Friday. “Playing in the NFL has been a dream since I’ve been a little boy,” Thomas said. Thomas said he was ad-

vised he could be drafted in the second round. “I was saying if it’s first or second I’m going to go,” he said. “If it’s anything below that I’m going to stay and try to get my degree and try to get in the first or second next year.” At 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds, Thomas is an unusually big receiver with good speed. He led the Yellow Jackets with 46 recep-

tions and led the Atlantic Coast Conference with 1,154 yards receiving and 25.1 yards per catch this season. The native of Dublin, Ga., caught passes in 29 straight games before he was shut out in Georgia Tech’s 24-14 Orange Bowl loss to Iowa on Tuesday. No other Georgia Tech receiver had as many as 10 catches this season.

USF fires Leavitt over abuse TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — South Florida fired football coach Jim Leavitt after a school investigation concluded he grabbed one of his players by the throat, slapped him in the face and then lied about it.

A letter hand delivered to the coach and released along with a report on the three-week probe said the university’s findings were based on “independently corroborated statements of persons found to be in the best

position to observe your conduct.” “Coach Leavitt committed a serious violation of our standards of conduct regarding treatment of students,” university president Judy Genshaft said Friday.

Cincinnati head coach Marvin Lewis leaves the field after his Bengals were pounded 37-0 by the New York Jets on Sunday at Giants Stadium. The two teams meet in the first round of the NFL playoffs today.

Bengals ready for second chance CINCINNATI (AP) — Linebacker Brandon Johnson was trimming some of his Cincinnati Bengals teammates’ hair after a frigid practice, getting them ready to look good for their next big moment. They couldn’t look any worse than they did in their last one. Jets 37, Bengals 0. The Jets dominated them in every way at the Meadowlands last Sunday, earning a playoff berth while drubbing the AFC North champs, who had little on the line

and played like it. Even in their worst times, the Bengals (10-6) have never been beaten more soundly. Days later, they didn’t sound like a beaten-down team. A group of them gathered for a little grooming, joking and laughing, turning the locker room into a raucous barber shop. They were confident the return of a few key players — and the much higher stakes — will close that 37-point gap in their wild-card rematch today at Paul Brown Stadium.

“Come Saturday, you’ll see an energetic, enthusiastic, rambunctious Bengals team,” offensive lineman Bobbie Williams said. “I like our odds this time.” Given what’s happened, the Jets (9-7) like theirs even more. The Jets finished the regular season with the league’s top-ranked running game and its best defense, but were installed as the biggest long shot among the playoff teams. One reason: Mark Sanchez is a rookie quarterback.

Seahawks give Mora boot after one season RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks fired Jim Mora after just one season, leaving the former NFC West champs without a coach, general manager and president less than four years after they appeared in the Super Bowl. Speculation on Mora’s replacement immediately centered on Southern California coach Pete Carroll. ESPN.com, cit-

ing unidentified league sources, reported Friday that an announcement of Mora Carroll joining the Seahawks could come early next week. “Pete’s name comes out at this time every year. In the past, he hasn’t commented on such reports,”

USC spokesman Tim Tessalone said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. “He was not expected in (Friday). ... At this point, we have nothing to report.” A Seahawks spokesman inside the team’s headquarters Friday afternoon refused to comment on Carroll. Carroll did not immediately return a phone call left for him by The AP.

Rice, Smith lead Hall finalists NEW YORK (AP) — If ever two players seemed like locks to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility, Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith would be the choices. Rice retired as the NFL’s career receiving leader, and Smith finished as the top rusher. They were among 17 finalists announced Friday for the Hall of Fame, including two senior nominees. The voting for

Weis finds job KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Barely a month after getting fired at Notre Dame, Charlie Weis signed on Friday as offensive coordinator with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he’ll join two old friends in trying to revive a flagging franchise.

entry into the shrine by a 44-member panel will take place Feb. 6, the day before the Super Bowl. The Class of 2010 will be inducted in August in Canton, Ohio. Rice finished his career with 1,549 catches for 22,895 yards and 197 touchdowns. He leads second place Marvin Harrison by 447 career receptions, and his 208 total TDs (11 rushing) are 33 more than runner-up Smith.

He is a two-time NFL Offensive Player of the Year for his 21-year career and also holds numerous Super Bowl records. Like Rice, Smith won three Super Bowls. He rushed for 18,355 yards and 164 touchdowns. He also caught 515 passes and scored on 19 receptions. Smith was the league MVP in 1993. Rice was the Super Bowl MVP in 1989 and Smith in 1994.

Stocks make gains despite jobs report

NEW YORK (AP) – A disappointing jobs report couldn’t stop the stock market from having a strong start to the new year. Stocks zigzagged for much of Friday but closed higher as investors took in stride the Labor Department’s news that employers cut 85,000 jobs in December, far more than the 8,000 analysts expected. The disappointing numbers were offset by a pleasant surprise: November’s report was revised to show the first job gains in nearly two years. The Dow Jones industrial average tacked on 11 points to end at a new 15-month high, while broader indicators logged bigger gains. All the major indexes posted advances for the week, a reassuring sign given that stocks often end the year higher after a strong start to January. The December job losses were disconcerting as a rebound in employment is key to a sustained recovery in the

S&P 500 Frankfurt DAX London FTSE 100 Hong Kong Hang Seng Paris CAC-40 Tokyo Nikkei 225

economy. But the market likely focused on the fact that a pickup in the labor market often lags other improvements following a recession. “I don’t think that anyone should expect a flip of a switch,” said Linda Duessel, equity market strategist at Federated Investors. “We were losing 600,000, 700,000 jobs a year ago and we are now toggling around zero. There is nothing disappointing about that.” Figures from recent months were revised to show that the economy generated 4,000 jobs in November. But the revisions also showed a loss of 16,000 more jobs than previously estimated in October. The Dow rose 11.33, or 0.1 percent, to 10,618.19. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 3.29, or 0.3 percent, to 1,144.98, its fifth straight advance. The Dow and the S&P 500 index ended at their highest levels since Oct. 1, 2008. The Nasdaq composite index rose 17.12, or 0.7 percent, to 2,317.17.

Obama pushes for cash for green jobs It came as Obama sought to pivot back to the domestic economy after two weeks of being riveted to the Christmas Day bombing attempt. The larger-than-expected loss of 85,000 jobs in December, reported earlier in the day by the Labor Department, put new pressure on the administration to step up job creation. “The road to recovery is never straight,” Obama said, although he added that the trend is pointing in

WASHINGTON (AP) – After a disappointing new unemployment report, President Barack Obama pushed on Friday for an expanded government program he said would help create tens of thousands of new clean-technology jobs. “It’s clear why such an effort is so important. Building a robust clean energy sector is how we will create the jobs of the future, jobs that pay well and can’t be outsourced,” Obama said at the White House.

the right direction. Figures released Friday showed unemployment stubbornly stuck at 10 percent. At the same time, more people were giving up in the search for jobs. Obama announced the awarding of $2.3 billion in tax credits to companies that manufacture wind turbines, solar panels, cutting edge batteries and other green technologies. The money will come from last year’s $787 billion stimulus

Best Buy posts sales gains for December NEW YORK – Best Buy Co., the largest U.S. electronics retailer, saw a key sales figure rise sharply in December – compared with a plunge a year earlier – as consumers bought computers, TVs and phones for the holidays, the company said Friday. But Best Buy didn’t raise its earnings forecast, and its shares fell $1.49, or 3.6 percent, to $40.05 early Friday. Analysts said Best Buy’s stock isn’t likely to rise much during the first half of 2010 because investors are worried about increasing competition and a scarcity of must-have electronics in development.

Foot Locker to cut 120 jobs, close 117 stores

E-mails stoke fires under Geithner’s hot seat WASHINGTON (AP) – Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner will face a congressional grilling later this month about the suppression of key details on deals that funneled billions to big investment banks while he was president of the Federal Re-

serve Bank of New York. Lawmakers reacted angrily Friday to revelations in e-mails sent in late 2008 and early 2009 between lawyers for the New York Fed and American International Group Inc. The exchanges show the New York Fed wanted AIG to

withhold information explaining how billions of dollars from the taxpayer bailout of AIG ended up at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Societe Generale and other major banks. Rep. Edolphus Towns, D-N.Y., chairman of the House Committee on

Oversight and Government Reform, said Friday the e-mails would prompt a thorough review of AIG’s rise and fall, and its relationships with the banks that ultimately benefited from its bailout. He scheduled a hearing for the week of Jan. 18 and

NEW YORK – Foot Locker Inc. said Friday it plans to cut about 120 jobs and to have closed 117 stores by the end of this month as it looks to become a more efficient and competitive business. The footwear and accessories company also said it will consolidate its management staff in order to sharpen its attention to female shoppers’ needs. The company’s stock gained 36 cents, or 3 percent, to $12.17 in afternoon trading. The company said the job cuts would come in its home office and field management operations. It did not say in a news release what stores would be closed. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Wholesale inventories, sales post strong gains WASHINGTON (AP) – Inventories held by wholesalers posted an unexpectedly strong gain in November while sales shot up by the largest amount in 10 months. While these gains gave the economy a strong boost as 2009 was ending, economists expressed concerns over the durability of the rebound given that

unemployment remains stubbornly high. The Commerce Department said Friday that wholesale inventories rose 1.5 percent in November, a much stronger showing than the 0.2 percent drop that economists had expected. Sales jumped 3.3 percent, far better than the 0.9 percent rise that had been forecast.

It marked the eighth consecutive month that sales at the wholesale level have increased and was the largest gain since last January. Economists hope that sustained sales increases will encourage businesses to restock depleted shelves which will in turn mean higher orders to factories. But they cautioned that the ini-

tial jolt is likely to fade quickly if consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of the economy, falters in coming months because of high unemployment and tight credit conditions. The Labor Department reported Friday that the nation’s jobless rate remained at 10 percent in December as employers shed 85,000 jobs. Since the

UPS to cut 1,800 jobs in US ATLANTA (AP) – Shipping giant UPS Inc. will cut 1,800 management and administrative jobs, less than 1 percent of its global work force, as it repositions itself for a gradual economic recovery with improved technology and fewer employees. About 1,100 employees will be offered a voluntary separation package as part of the work force reduction, which is meant to streamline the company’s U.S. small package segment. Other cuts will come through attrition and layoffs. The U.S. small package segment represents roughly 60 percent of UPS’ annual revenue. It handles shipments of up to 150 pounds by ground and air. UPS, based in Atlanta, has AP 408,000 employees worldUPS worker Rolf Wick unloads packages at a delivery wide. About 340,000 of those workers are in the U.S. stop in Daly City, Calif., last month.

UPS also raised its profit forecast for the fourthquarter that ended in December, citing improving operations and cost cuts. UPS will reduce its U.S. regions from five to three and its U.S. Districts from 46 to 20 in April. There are no plans to close any operating facilities. UPS said the consolidation of offices will not affect the sales and operations team, including drivers. UPS expects to incur a one-time charge in 2010 because of the restructuring. Spokesman Norman Black said UPS now has the technology and management systems to oversee a much larger geographic area than before, so it is consolidating district offices. UPS will change office staffing in its new, larger districts to strengthen marketing and sales efforts.

Suzuki offers alternative to Camry, Accord BY ANN M. JOB FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

It’s not a typical marketing technique. Japanese automaker Suzuki, well known for its motorcycles, is reaching out to its motorcycle owners as it launches its newest car, the 2010 Kizashi. With exterior styling that is similar to a Volkswagen sedan, an unexpectedly upscale interior for a Suzuki, five-passenger seating and thrifty, four-cylinder fuel mileage, the mid-size Kizashi is Suzuki’s competitor to America’s long favorite Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. In mailings to Suzuki motorcycle owners, Suzuki says the Kizashi is an affordable, attractive sedan that can be had with all-wheel drive. Indeed, the Kizashi’s starting retail prices are slightly below those of the long-popular Camry and Accord sedans, and neither Camry nor Accord is offered with all-wheel drive. Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge, is $19,734 for a base, five-passenger, front-wheel drive 2010 Kizashi with 185-horsepower, four-cylinder engine and manual transmission. This price compares with

This photo released by Suzuki shows the 2010 Kizashi, about a half-foot shorter than the Toyota Camry. the $20,145 starting retail price for a 2010 Camry with manual transmission and the $21,765 for base, manual transmission Accord sedan. But a Kizashi with continuously variable transmission (CVT) that a driver operates like an automatic transmission has a starting retail price of $21,234 – slightly higher than the $21,195 for a base Camry with automatic, but less expensive than the $22,565 for a base Accord with automatic. An all-wheel drive Ki-

zashi starts at $22,484 and comes standard with the CVT. The close pricing to the popular Camry and Accord might be problematic, given that Toyota and Honda have been at or near the top of various quality surveys for years. Suzuki still is building a quality reputation for its cars. For example, the brand showed gains in the annual J.D. Power and Associates’ Initial Quality Study released last summer. This most recent study put Suzuki above

average and above other brands such as Nissan and BMW. The study ratings are derived from surveys of new-car owners who report on problems with their recent purchases. The test Kizashi, an upscale SLS model with CVT and front-wheel drive, had excellent fit and finish inside and out. Exterior styling was pleasant, even if the Kizashi didn’t stand out from the crowd of family sedans already on the roads. No one, for example, took a second look at the Kiza-

shi as I drove it, and no one asked about it. Inside, the Kizashi didn’t feel quite as roomy as its major competitors, and it’s not. The Kizashi is nearly a foot shorter than an Accord sedan, so rear legroom of 35.6 inches is less than the 37.2 inches in the back of the Accord. In contrast to the Camry, the Kizashi is about a half foot shorter in length, and where the Camry’s trunk has some 15 cubic feet of space, the Kizashi’s trunk tops out at 13.3 cubic feet.
