Get inspections before tag renewal

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
TRIAD – Motorists receiving their annual license tag renewal notifications this year from the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles need to remember the change in policy with car inspections. Last year, the DMV began phasing in a new policy to have tag renewals and inspections take place during the same month. But motorists need to have their car inspections completed before the DMV will issue a tag renewal. “The basics are pretty simple. The DMV has a vehicle registration database, and no vehicle registration can be renewed until an inspection has been completed. Therefore, drivers must take their cars in to be inspected and pass inspection before they can renew,” said Brendan Byrnes, manager of public relations with AAA Carolinas out of Charlotte. The reminder from the DMV each year for tag renewals will come with a notice to have vehicles inspected beforehand, Byrnes said.

Kurt Rath of Vann York GM Auto Park scratches off an old inspection sticker on a vehicle he’s inspecting. If motorists mail a tag renewal form and payment to the DMV in Raleigh, they don’t have to include a copy of the car inspection, said DMV spokeswoman Marge Howell. When a service station or dealership inspects a car, the DMV automatically notes the inspection in computer records, she said.
Some motorists coming into Crescent Ford in High Point initially have been confused about when they need to have an inspection, especially during the transition period of coordinating tag renewals and inspections, said Service Manager Mark Draughn.

Trinity weighs special election for alcohol sales BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
TRINITY – Sheetz store manager Steve Murray is accustomed to sending customers to neighboring cities to purchase alcohol. If some members of the Trinity City Council have their way, Murray and several other businesses could be selling alcohol after the spring of 2011 – the time frame of when several City Council members would like to hold a special election for a referendum on alcohol sales. “We have quite a few folks that we detour away from here and send to Thomasville, where they can purchase alcohol,” said Murray, manager of the new Sheetz convenience store on Finch Farm Road in Trinity. “It would be nice to have the sales in Trinity because I’m sure they would get some kind of tax having the sales here.” During the City Council’s retreat in High Point this

At the all-day work session, Sikes argued against Mayor Carlton Boyles’ view that the alcohol issue would split the residents of Trinity – especially, the city’s 70 churches. “I
believe in God,” Sikes responded to Boyles. “Do I believe in drinking? Yes. I drink ... This is not a moral issue. This is the 21st century. This is a financial issue. You mentioned 70 churches. Do you realize how many stores are in Trinity that could sell alcohol right now?”
In 2007, Trinity residents voted on whether or not to allow the sale of malt beverages, unfortified wine, mixed beverages and whether or not to permit the operation of ABC stores. Almost 60 voters defeated the sale of malt beverages, mixed drinks, unfortified wine and the

operation of ABC stores in Trinity. With the city being incorporated in 1997, it was the first time Trinity residents voted on the alcohol issue. Archdale, meanwhile, took the alcohol referendum to the voters four times since its incorporation in 1969 before it was able to get the sale of alcohol in the city in 2005. Because the referendum was defeated, Trinity officials could not put the issue to the voters again for three years, said Ann Bailie, Trinity’s city manager. City Council members on Saturday directed Bailie to find out what the city’s cost would be to hold a special election. Bailie said Monday she was informed by the Randolph County Board of Elections office that the city would be required to pay an estimated $4,500 to hold the special election. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

GUILFORD COUNTY – While reported cases of swine flu may be down, health officials are using National Influenza Vaccination Week to remind people that it is still not to late to get vaccinated. Because the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported a decrease in the spread of the H1N1 flu, people may be asking whether getting the vaccine is still important. The North Carolina flu season typically lasts through May. Past pandemics have occurred in waves, County Medical Director Dr. Ward Robinson has said several times, and January is not too late to get vaccinated. Here are some tips from health experts: Get Vaccinated: The Department of Public Health still has both H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccine available by appointment. The H1N1 vaccine is for persons 6 months of age and older. The seasonal flu vaccine is for persons 4 years of age and older. Both vaccines are free.
PENALTIES
Board to make choice decisions BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
GUILFORD COUNTY – School officials could decide tonight if they will move up the schedule for parents seeking to transfer their children out of lowperforming schools next year. The choice period could open as soon as Feb. 13 during the spring magnet and choice school application period so parents can weigh all of their choice options at once. Under the federal No Child Left Behind Act, Title I schools must offer school choice to parents after missing Adequate Yearly Progress, or AYP, in the same subject for two consecutive years. If the Guilford County Board of Education approves the proposal, the 27 Title I schools currently in improvement will offer choice for the
2010-11 school year during the magnet application period, Feb. 13 to March 12. Parents at these schools would continue to receive information in the summer on their school’s AYP results, but they would not be able to request a transfer. Moving up the choice timeline also would provide district departments and schools with more time to prepare, Beth Folger, chief academic officer, told the school board last month. Lists of transfer schools and receiving schools change from year to year. For example, Ferndale Middle School leaders may not have to offer parents a transfer choice next year because of improving performance. Others are Kirkman Park, Northwood and Oak View elementaries. But if Ferndale stays on the transfer list,

Violations: The first two violations against a business bring a warning. After the third complaint, the business owner faces a fine of $200 each day it continues to violate the law. Customers face $50 fines for violations. Smokers and business owners can appeal infractions to the Guilford County Board of Health for a special hearing and then to the courts, where the details would become public record.

New list: Among High Point area schools, Johnson Street Global Studies and the Montlieu Math and Science Academy could be added to the choice schools list next year. Old list: These schools will continue to offer choice again next year: Allen Jay, Fairview, Oak Hill, Parkview and Union Hill elementaries. AYP: The federal accountability standard for the No Child Left Behind Act is based on end-of-grade and end-of-course test proficiency in reading and mathematics in third through eighth grades and 10th grade.
Exceptions: Nonprofit private clubs that serve food or drink such as country clubs and those run by fraternal organizations can permit smoking. Cigar bars are exempt, as well as hookah bars that neither provide food nor operate a bar.
parents could request to send their students to Kernodle and Southern middle schools next year. The school board also will hear a report from the legislative committee.

GUILFORD COUNTY – Health officials will focus on at least five restaurants and bars where people have complained of violations of the new smoking ban. By state law, restaurants and bars became smoke free Jan. 2. During the first week of the new ban, health officials received 97 individual complaints to the state Web site, www.smokefree.nc.gov. Of those, only 16 actual locations were reported, and of those reported, 60 percent of the complaints involved only five locations, Guilford County Tobacco Prevention Coordinator Mary Gillett told the Guilford County Board of Health on Monday. The 16 locations are less than 1 percent of the restaurants and bars in Guilford County covered by the ban. “We will follow these complaints with education with the owners,” Gillett said. “A complaint is not a violation. Some one has to see a violation for a complaint to become a violation.” Enforcement is based on complaints from the public. Complaints can range

from the lack of no smoking signs at a business to the refusal of making smokers leave a building. The rules require restaurant and bar owners to post no smoking signs, remove all ashtrays and to tell smoking patrons not to smoke indoors. The health agency has trained three additional workers to help businesses adjust to the new law and to investigate complaints. North Carolina became the first state in the Southeast to completely prohibit smoking in restaurants and bars. However, the state law does not prohibit smoking in private workplaces. The law makes the county’s health director responsible for compliance. “We have made 97 visits so far, and it is our goal to call on every bar and restaurant in the county,” Gillett said. General Statute 130A497 makes virtually all indoor areas of restaurants and bars in the state smoke-free. An estimated 24,000 establishments statewide are covered by the new law. There are 1,592 bars and restaurants in the county covered by the new law.

It is still important for people with chronic diseases and people in these groups to get vaccinated: pregnant women; children ages 6 months to 24 years of age; health care workers and emergency medical services personnel; and household contacts and caregivers of children 6 months of age and younger. As part of a nationwide initiative to improve vaccination rates, retail pharmacy chains and medical clinics across North Carolina are able to order H1N1 vaccine directly from the CDC through the end of January. Hygiene: Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze and wash your hands often with soap and water or an alcohol based hand sanitizer. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread this way. Also, stay home if you are sick and avoid close contact with people who are sick. Safety: Encourage friends and family to get vaccinated and let them know this is important for good health.

Woman recalls emotional ordeal of same-sex marriage ban SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – One of two lesbians suing California to overturn its ban on gay marriage testified Monday that she and her partner have experienced an emotional roller coaster during the past six years involving their desire to wed. “I want it to happen to me,” plaintiff Kristen Perry said. “The state isn’t letting me feel happy.” Perry, 45, took the witness stand during the first day of the civil trial target-
ing Proposition 8, the voter-approved measure banning same-sex marriage in California. During questioning by former U.S. Solicitor General Theodore Olson, who is representing the two same-sex couples who filed the suit, Perry recalled how she and her partner rushed to San Francisco in early 2004 to marry when that city opened City Hall to same-sex weddings. They were crestfallen when the city later told them their marriage was invalid.

Cheney rants on, proves his incompetence I no longer get angry when Dick Cheney makes his ridiculous attacks on President Obama. In a “reverse psychology” sort of way, I kind of like it. Every attack puts another exclamation point on the incompetence, arrogance and complete disconnect from reality that permeated the Bush administration! It reminds us how Cheney dominated Bush to the point Bush was as much figurehead as actual authority. Cheney has been wrong in virtually everything he has said in years. Remember “They’re in their last throes,” and “They’ll strew flowers in our path”? Those are Cheneyisms. He predicted Iraq would be a quick, easy war. He still spreads the lie that Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11. He and most Republicans are in total denial that the Bush administration has any culpability for 9/11 in spite of the fact that they ignored repeated warnings it was going to happen.

(One Republican pundit actually stated recently that Bush “inherited” 9/11!) Cheney is a sniffling coward who got five military deferments to keep from serving his country! After 9/11, he went underground for days until deciding it was safe to surface again. Even President Bush didn’t do that. It is said that during the anthrax scare, he kept a doctor by his side for days. He lives in paranoid fear and wants to foist his phobias on the rest of us. He desperately wants another terrorist attack to occur to she can say “I told you so” in hopes of justifying the wars, torture and lawbreaking that he masterminded! So let Cheney rant on. He just digs himself deeper into his own quagmire with every insane statement! CARL ROUTH High Point
Now, people complain about inconvenient airport security In good old 2009, America jumped from the witch to the devil. We inaugurated a president with ties to Muslims, and an ex-sheriff is running again, who was doing the same thing that the low-life scum bags (as he called them were doing). It appears like he will be re-elected! People were coming in the White House uninvited with open arms, letting a Muslim extremist board our planes, and we were letting the government take our freedom our forefathers worked and died for us to have. People are becoming so intimidated they are afraid to speak their minds because of being sued. Now people are complaining about toughened security at airports because it will inconvenience them. I wonder how the
people who were on the flights that flew into the World Trade Center, etc., would feel if they had been a little more inconvenienced? Anyone who rides an airplane in these times has a loose screw in their brain to start with. So maybe that’s why they can’t see past their nose. CARL TYSINGER Trinity

oo often bills are rushed through Congress and to the president before the public has the opportunity to review them,” the Obama-Biden campaign Web site stated during the 2008 presidential campaign. “As president, Obama will not sign any nonemergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House Web site for five days.” Repeatedly during the 2008 campaign, Obama declared, “We’ll have the negotiations televised on C-SPAN so that people can see who is making arguments on behalf of their constituents, and who are making arguments on behalf of the drug companies or the insurance companies.” So who really expects politicians to keep campaign promises they had no intention of keeping? Well, the day after President Obama was inaugurated, Macon Phillips, writing in the White House blog, said the president “has committed to making his administration the most open and transparent in history, and WhiteHouse. gov will play a major role in delivering on that promise. The president’s executive orders and proclamations will be published for everyone to review, and that’s just the beginning of our efforts to provide a window for all Americans into the business of the government.” By April 13, just 63 days later, one almost needed a scorecard to keep track of how many times the transparency promise had been broken. Jim Harper of the CATO Institute noted that Obama had signed 11 bills into law and gone, at best, one for 11 on his five-day posting promise. And now, Obama and congressional Democrats have embarked on the tough work of ironing out differences between House and Senate health care legislation with the aim of quickly approving a bill as midterm elections near, according to reports from The Associated Press. No Republicans. No C-SPAN. No transparency. So we’ll be stuck with whatever health care “reform” that bunch comes up with – no opportunity for debate or clear airing of the various parts of the bill that have been cussed and discussed amid plenty of confusion with an abundance of last-minute special interest deals to get it through both houses of Congress – as a compromise is struck and Obama signs it into law. In this case especially, the president isn’t being judged by the color of his skin but by the content of his character, and his character has been found lacking time and again.

Blame Head Start review delay on expected bad news
M
ost large institutions are better spending money on shiny new programs and favored constituencies than they are at spending money on evaluating their existing programs. The problem is evident at large companies. It’s evident at large nonprofits such as universities and hospitals. It’s evident in the military and the church. Governments are particularly prone to skimp on evaluation, however, because their managers generate future revenue not by outperforming their competitors or capturing the payoff of innovation but by winning re-election. You can do that with lofty rhetoric, crafty redistricting, and canny fundraising. You don’t have to prove that your past programs have yielded the benefits you promised. A classic example is preschool intervention. For decades now, both liberal and not-so-liberal politicians in Washington and Raleigh have clung to the plausible and promising notion that spending tax money early on early childhood education can save money in the long run by boosting highschool graduation rates and reducing rates of future crime, joblessness, and welfare dependency. The political fascination with preschool intervention began in the 1960s with Head Start, then deepened during the past two decades with state-initiated programs such as North Carolina’s own Smart Start in the 1990s and More at Four in the 2000s. Alas, there was little serious effort made at evaluating the effectiveness of these programs. The priority was to expand them as rapidly as possible, as broadly as possible. In a legislative process run by members representing discrete geographical units, expecting some lawmakers to be willing to wait while others see new pilot programs creating in their districts proved unrealistic. In the case of preschool intervention, the
result has been the expenditure of billions of dollars over the past two decades with little evidence of gain. As I’ve noted, the major improvements in North Carolina’s performance on independent reading and math OPINION tests predated the statewide implementation of Smart Start John and More at Four. After these Hood programs went in effect, the ■■■ state’s academic performance stalled out. As for Head Start, the Heritage Foundation’s Dan Lips related the history of the federal government’s program evaluation in a recent column. To make a long story short, in 1998 Congress ordered a new program evaluation of Head Start. The initial one, released in 2005, showed modest gains for youngsters right after participating in Head Start. That was no surprise. The real question has always been: do gains in preschool last into elementary school? In the past, the answer has been no. So what’s the answer this time? Well, the next report was supposed to be released in March 2009, but so far no release. Lips thinks he knows why. “Former HHS officials have told me that they were briefed on the results of the firstgrade evaluation in 2008,” Lips wrote. “They report that the evaluation found that, overall, Head Start participants experienced zero lasting benefits compared to their non-Head Start peers by the end of first grade. These officials expressed little surprise that the report’s release had been delayed.” I’m not surprised, either. Disappointed? Yes.

US dismisses North Korea call for peace treaty SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea proposed Monday signing a peace treaty this year to formally end the Korean War, a suggestion that Washington quickly dismissed. In a move seen as an attempt to bolster its negotiating position, the isolated communist regime said a return to negotiations on its nuclear weapons program depends on better relations with Washington and the lifting of sanctions. However, U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters Monday that peace treaty talks would only be discussed once North Korea comes back to six-nation nuclear talks and takes steps on abandoning its nuclear programs.

SOUTHWOLD, Ontario (AP) – A Canadian man has been mauled to death by his pet tiger. Norman Buwalda, 66, went into the tiger’s cage on his property in Southwold, Ontario, to feed the animal on Sunday and was attacked and killed, police said. The tiger weighed some 660 pounds.

KARACHI, Pakistan – Pakistani police have arrested a couple on charges of stabbing their 3-month-old baby to death in a black magic ritual they believed would get them rich. Police officer Hazoor Bukhsh says officers recovered a 3-year-old girl who they feared was also going to be killed. The couple was arrested Monday in a house in the city of Karachi. The body of their baby girl was exhumed from their backyard. Bukhsh says a witch doctor advised them to kill the girl after telling them it would make them rich.
SAN’A, Yemen (AP) – Yemen’s most influential Islamic cleric, considered an al-Qaida-linked terrorist by the United States, warned Monday that the U.S.-backed fight against the terror group could lead to “foreign occupation� of the country. Sheik Abdul-Majid alZindani’s comments illustrate the pressure Yemen’s government is under to Abdul-Majid limit the U.S. role here even as Washington ramps up counterterrorism aid and training to help combat al-Qaida’s offshoot in the country. Al-Zindani is emblematic of how – unlike in Iraq and Afghanistan, whose governments are bitter enemies of al-Qaida – Yemen’s beleaguered regime has built alliances with Islamic extremists to hold onto power. Some have alQaida connections, complicating the fight. Branded a spiritual mentor of Osama bin Laden by the U.S., al-Zindani is highly influential among Yemenis. The United States has labeled him a “global terrorist.�

Thomasville may OK work on cemetery chapel BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
THOMASVILLE – The Thomasville City Council will consider Monday night giving the green light for construction to begin on an open air chapel at the Thomasville City Cemetery. The City Council agreed to consider the construction of the chapel during its briefing Monday evening. City Manager Kelly Craver said
The chapel would seat 48 people, according to cemetery caretaker Nat Walker. the City Council approved the chapel project as a concept in 2000. The approval allowed City Cemetery caretaker Nat Walker to start raising funds to build the chapel. City Council action “would be bringing the plans and proposal for the construction, as well as the movement of some moneys from other capital line items in the cemetery fund to fund the construction,” Craver said.
According to Craver, the cost of the project is about $25,000, with $5,000 coming from the city’s cemetery budget. “We are not moving any funds out of anywhere other than the cemetery budget toward this. No other funds from other departments or the general fund will be moved toward this project,” he said. City officials expect construction on the chapel to begin later in the spring. Craver said the chapel would be “available for anyone who would like to have a service for a loved one at the cemetery as an alternative to a graveside ceremony.” The chapel would seat 48 people, Walker told the City Council during the briefing. In other business, the City Council removed a public hearing on a economic development incentive package for Project VA2 from its agenda during its briefing. Craver said the city was not able to get the project advertised in time for the City Council’s regular meeting. The City Council will meet at the Thomasville Police Department at 7 p.m. Monday. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657
4 charged in failed robbery BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
RANDOLPH COUNTY – Four people face attempted-murder charges after an apparent robbery attempt in Randolph County over the weekend. Sheriff’s deputies responded to 1722 Stallion Trail outside Asheboro about 5 p.m. Saturday in reference to a possible armed robbery. The victim, Evaristo Hernandez, 32, told investigators he and his nieces – Angelica Mondragon, 18, and Mirian Mondragon, 17, both of Porsche Way, Asheboro – were returning from a flea market in Monroe where he is a vendor. As one of the women got out of their car to unlock the gate at the end of their driveway, three men dressed in dark clothing and with faces covered approached the vehicle. One of the men was armed with a handgun. The woman who opened the gate was knocked to the ground and, according to victim statements, the armed suspect fired shots, according to the sheriff’s office.
YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.
No one was injured and no property was taken during the incident, deputies said. The suspects left the area in a full-sized, dark-colored SUV. The victims were able to give a description of the vehicle to a 911 operator. A responding patrol deputy spotted a vehicle that matched the description a few miles away and stopped the vehicle, according to the sheriff’s office. Four suspects were taken into custody. After further investigation, they were charged with three counts each of attempted murder. Deputies identified the suspects as Christian Dominguez, 19, of Lomond Street, WinstonSalem; Mario Dejesus Navarro Cruz, 17, of Hutton Street, Winston-Salem; Luis Miquel Martinez, of Divenshire Street, Winston-Salem and Raul Benitez Jr., 17, of Barnes Road, Winston-Salem. The suspects were jailed after going before a magistrate, who set their bonds at $1 million each. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Filmmaker Eric Rohmer dies at 89 PARIS (AP) – French New Wave director Eric Rohmer, known for “My Night at Maud’s,” “Claire’s Knee,” and other films about the intricacies of romantic relationships and the dilemmas of modern love, died on Monday. He was 89. Rohmer, also an influential film critic early in his career, died in Paris, said Les Films du Losange, the production company he co-founded. The cause of death was not immediately given. The director continued to work until recently. His latest film, the 17thcentury costume tale “Les amours d’Astree et de Celadon,” (“Romance of Astree and Celadon”), appeared in 2007. In 2001, Rohmer was awarded a Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival for his body of work – dozens of films made over a five-decade career. Rohmer’s movies were full of romantic temptation and love triangles, pretty girls and handsome youths.

Former Princeville manager gets jail sentence MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
FormerPrincevilleTown Manager Sam Knight was ordered Friday to spend up to eight months in jail for violating conditions of his probation. Knight, 61, appeared for his jail sentencing at Edgecombe County Courthouse in Tarboro before
Superior Court Judge Cy A. Grant. Following his first sentencing on Sept. 21, the former town manager was ordered by Grant to pay $25,292.87 in restitution to Princeville within a 90-day period. Now that he has an active jail sentence, Knight’s attorney Gene Muse said that the restitution is not under an order to be paid back.
Placed under house arrest with an electronic ankle bracelet for monitoring, Knight was allowed a week’s time by the court in order to go to Fort Riley, Kan., to procure payment for his restitution. Muse said that his client “didn’t have anything near� the full amount of money to pay back the restitution when his attempt to turn
family property in Kansas into cash was not successful. The final amount Knight gathered was around $1,100, Muse added. But the former Princeville manager did find one outlet that gave financial support to help pay his restitution. The Rev. Richard Joyner, pastor of Conetoe Chapel Missionary Baptist Church,
said that his outreach on behalf of Knight led to one church, which he declined to name, giving a $2,500 check to help out. Muse said that church was based in Charlotte, and that the money would likely be returned since Knight is no longer forced to pay the town back. Outside of their efforts to help raise money for
Knight, Joyner, who attended Friday’s hearing, added that “most of us (at the church) were just giving moral support and spiritual support� to the former Princeville administrator. “Like everybody else, he made a mistake,� Joyner added of the former Princeville manager. “We do not turn our backs on him because of that.�

But the SEC also said it wouldn’t charge any individual Bank of America executives, directors or attorneys because they are not alleged to have “deliberately concealed� information from the bank’s outside attorneys or otherwise acted with intent to mislead. Bank of America said
it was glad the regulators had found no basis to charge any individuals or to assert a charge of fraud against the bank. However, it added, “Despite this vindication, we believe the new claims the SEC seeks to bring are without merit and we will oppose this motion.� The SEC and Bank of America, which is based in Charlotte, N.C., are scheduled to go to trial on March 1.

ear Abby: I’m writing about “Not Nosy, Just Concerned� (Nov. 13), the neighbor who suspects the woman she sees entering “John� and “Marcia’s� house is having an affair with John while Marcia sleeps. There is another scenario to consider, and it is, perhaps, the biggest reason “Nosy� should keep hers out of it. It is entirely possible that Marcia is fully aware and willingly participating in the after-hours visits of the “tart.� I am happily married now, but when I was single, I was an after-dark visitor to a well-to-do, (still) happily married couple in an unsuspecting affluent suburban neighborhood. We were all happy with the arrangement, and even joked with each other about what the neighbors would think if they only knew. “Nosy� may get the surprise of her life if she ignores your advice and shares her “knowledge� with Marcia. Things aren’t always as they appear. – Happy Third Wheel Dear Happy: That’s true. And you were by no means the only reader who suggested that scenario. However, many others were quick to offer me some neighborly advice. Read on: Dear Abby: You were off-base in your reply to that lady. She wanted to know how to tell the woman of the house her husband was up to no good. You advised her to mind her own business. You should have told her to send the woman a letter. If it turns out the visitor is a relative, they can
have a good laugh over it and she won’t have messed up her friendship with the couple. ADVICE If it turns out she’s Dear right, then Abby Marcia will ■■■know to get herself tested for an STD, which John may have given her. And if he hasn’t given her one yet, it could stop her from getting one. STDs can kill. Telling the neighbor to butt out was just plain dumb. – Freda in Florida Dear Abby: You are out of touch if you don’t think a man will have sex in the same house in which his wife is sleeping. My sister awoke one morning to find her (now ex) husband having sex with their houseguest in the bathroom! And about 15 years ago, a friend of mine caught her husband in the basement with another woman. She and their two children had been upstairs sleeping. Open your eyes, Abby. Why would a relative come in the middle of the night and park a block away? – Diane in Minnesota Dear Abby: My mom had the same suspicion years ago. Her neighbor lady’s husband would leave for work and shortly after his departure a man next door would walk over to her house. He’d go through the back gate, into her home, stay awhile and then walk back to his house. After getting to know them, Mom discovered that the woman and her visitor were brother and sister
and enjoyed drinking their morning coffee together. – Nosy No More Dear Abby: I wish a nosy neighbor had told me when my fiance was cheating on me. After I found out, several people admitted they had suspected the woman who had been coming around when I was visiting my parents was the “other woman,� but they didn’t want to seem intrusive. While all of this was going on, I was pregnant with our second child. I learned what was happening when the baby was 3 months old. The woman was someone I considered a friend. I felt betrayed. Abby, “Nosy� should send her neighbor an anonymous note. – Someone Who’s Been There Dear Abby: Several years ago my dad came to San Francisco to attend a CPA convention. Because my stepmom, “Ann,� couldn’t be there, Dad invited me to the Saturday night dinner. I was in my early 20s and working as a fashion model, so I decided to dress to kill. Even though Dad introduced me as his daughter, several of the wives were suspicious. One of them took a picture of us and showed it to Ann. The look on her face was priceless when my stepmom said, “Isn’t ‘Jim’s’ daughter beautiful? I’m so glad she could be there.� The three of us have laughed about it for years. – Norma in San Mateo, Calif.

Shovel snow with great care BY ROB FRENCH
T
he good news is 15 minutes of snow shoveling counts as moderate physical activity. We should all aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity several days per week, especially after a holiday season filled with emotional stress and overindulgence. During the holidays, many of us eat too much, drink too much alcohol, ditch exercise routines, take in more sodium and gain weight. The bad news is researchers have reported an increase in the number of fatal heart attacks among people who shovel snow. Cold weather is hard on the heart. Blood vessels constrict, which raises blood pressure. Blood also clots more readily. Frigid temperatures increase strain on the heart, and too much physical exertion can worsen the burden and trigger a heart attack, particularly in sedentary people. Intense heavy snow shoveling can increase the heart rates of sedentary folks to levels higher than those normally recommended during aerobic exercise. According to multiple sources, snow shoveling certainly can be good exercise, but certain groups should think twice before picking up that shovel. If you’ve had a heart attack, if you have heart disease, high blood pressure or high cholesterol or lead a sedentary lifestyle you probably don’t want to be shoveling heavy snow in frigid temperatures. You don’t want very strenuous snow shoveling to be the only thing that got you off the couch all year. At the least, consult with your doctor before attempting it and call 911 if you feel chest pain or other warning signs. Here are some heart healthy tips for shoveling snow. If you are inactive or have a history of heart trouble, talk to your doctor before you take on heavy snow shoveling. Avoid caffeine and nicotine before beginning. Dress in several layers so you can remove layers as your warm up. Start slowly and shovel less snow with each shovel full putting less strain on your body. Most importantly, listen to your body and stop if you feel pain.

Shingles pain often lingers
D
ear Dr. Donohue: Will you address the problem of shingles? I am 82 and have it. My doctor has me taking acyclovir. How long does it take for the eruptions to heal? How contagious is this? – D.T.
BLONDIE Readers have every right to think I am obsessed with shingles. I write about it frequently. The reason is that a nonstop supply of letters keeps coming, asking for information on it. The virus of shingles is the same virus that causes childhood chickenpox. That virus lives in nerve cells until the day we die. Many shingles patients deny they ever had chickenpox. They did. They might have had such a mild case that it was not recognized as chickenpox. More than 90 percent of adults have evidence that the chickenpox virus is still in their bodies. When the virus wakens, it travels out of nerve cells down to the skin, where it causes the typical shingles rash – red blotches covered with tiny blisters. The affected skin hurts. The rash disappears in 10 to 15 days. Acyclovir is one of the three anti-viral drugs that shorten the infection’s duration. Worse than the rash stage of shingles is a prolonged period of pain that remains for some people well after the rash goes. That condition is called postherpetic neuralgia. Herpes zoster is the renamed chickenpox virus. “Neuralgia” indicates

HEALTH Dr. Paul Donohue ■■■
that the nerve has been damaged when the virus passed down it to the skin. For a few, the torture of postherpetic neuralgia can last for
years. A person with shingles can pass the virus only during the stage of skin blisters. Virus is in the blister fluid. Since most adults have already been infected, they do not catch the virus. Young infants might. They come down with chickenpox, not shingles. This is a very uncommon occurrence. You are not a threat to most people. And, you are a threat to those who have never had chickenpox only for a very short time. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am a man in his mid70s. For most of my life, I have had a low heart rate (slow heartbeat). Sometimes it goes down to 39. I am not dizzy or lightheaded, and I don’t have shortness of breath. Will this affect me later on? – Anon. Heartbeat, heart rate and pulse are all the same thing – the number of times the heart contracts in one minute. The normal heart rate is 60 to 100 beats a minute when seated comfortably. A heart rate of 39 is definitely low. You have no symptoms coming from
this slow beat – dizziness, lightheadedness or shortness of breath – and you have had this most of your life. Well-trained athletes have slow heart rates. Their athletic hearts pump more blood with each beat, so they need fewer beats. Perhaps you have a well-conditioned heart. Should you experience any symptoms, report to the doctor immediately. And on your next visit, ask the doctor if an EKG could be done. It will help determine if your slow rate is or is not healthy. I don’t believe your slow rate will ever affect you. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have a habit I can’t conquer – nose picking. I saw an ear, nose and throat doctor, who cauterized my nose, but that didn’t work. I realize this disgusts others. I think the problem is that my mucus solidifies quickly and adheres to the nasal lining. How should I deal with this? – J.A. Irrigate the nose with a bulb syringe containing saltwater. The saltwater is made by dissolving a quarter-teaspoon of salt in a cup of water. You can buy bulb syringes or irrigating syringes in drugstores. Flush the nose three times a day. Then apply a very light coat of Vaseline to the lowermost part of the nasal lining. If your house is dry, get a humidifier, and keep the humidity between 40 percent and 60 percent. Also make a conscious effort to stifle the picking.

Brandy Jones of High Point founded Still A Rose, a nonprofit organization that helps women transition out of abusive relationships. Jones leads a support group that meets on Tuesdays at the YWCA of High Point.
New nonprofit group aims to help victims of domestic violence Jones knows firsthand how hard it can be to leave an abusive relationship. She was 19 the IGH POINT – The night Bran- first time her then-boyfriend hit dy Jones’ husband pulled a her – breaking her jaw – but she gun on her – when she was didn’t leave for good until she was 28. She had filed 26 domeseight months pregnant with his tic-violence charges against him child – she realized, finally, that before the night he pulled the gun she had to get out. That was March 5, 2004 – she knows the date by heart – in her native Florida. Nearly six years later, the 33-year-old High Point woman considers herself a domestic-violence survivor – she thinks of herself as a blossoming rose – and she wants to help other domestic-violence victims blossom, too. “I want women to know that domestic violence is never OK, and it’s not your fault, regardless of how long you’ve been in the situation,” says Jones, founder of Still A Rose, a new nonprofit organization that helps women transition Brandy Jones out of abusive relationships. Still A Rose founder “(Domestic violence) eats at the soul of you – who you are on her. He ended up spending – and you have to get out. It’s three years in prison. not healthy, but if you want to According to Jones, sometimes get out, you can get out.

Or it’s the isolation of him telling you who you can see and who you can’t see, and a lot of times the person he doesn’t want you to talk to is your mom, your sister, your best friend. Why? Because those people know you better than anybody, and they can sense when something is wrong. They’re in your ear saying, ‘This won’t work – he’s not healthy for you,’ but you don’t wanna hear that because that’s who you fell in love with.” Still A Rose will help women in abusive relationships work through the issues they face, and help them leave the relationship when ready, Jones says. The organization gets its name from a sermon Jones heard several years ago, when she was still involved with her abuser. The pastor was speaking about a wilted rose. “He said, ‘If you look at it really closely, you’ll notice that there are bad weeds around it, and that’s what’s killing the flower,’ ” Jones recalls. “ ‘So if you clip that same rose and repot it, give it some sun, fertilizer, take care of it and nurture it back to life, it’ll blossom.’ ” Jones glanced at her then-husband, seated right beside her, and saw a weed. “You’re the weed,” she thought. “You’re killing me.”
YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Still A Rose is a new nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide victims of domestic violence with resources, crisis intervention and shelter, and to educate the community in order to put an end to abuse. A support group meets Tuesdays, from 6 to 8 p.m., in the Women’s Resource Center at the YWCA of High Point, 112 Gatewood Ave. For more information, contact the organization’s founder, Brandy Jones, at (336) 687-3083 or brandyj@stillarose.org. You may also visit the Web site at www.stillarose.org.
The pastor continued, “Sometimes we have to remove ourselves from the job we don’t like, from certain friends in our lives that are no good for us. Sometimes we just have to remove ourselves from situations and do better.” The message resonated, and Jones now has those three words – “Still A Rose” – tattooed on her chest as a reminder that she has blossomed from a victim into a survivor. That’s what she wants for abused women in the High Point community, too. “We just want them to know we’re here,” she says. “We’re a very tangible resource for the community, and we can help them get out of their situation.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579
Alaskans have been betting on when the ice on the Tanana River in the town of Nenana will break each spring since 1917, placing their wagers in red cans in grocery stores, gas stations and other retailers around the state. The bets, at $2.50 apiece, can be placed between Feb. 1 and April 5. The 2009 total reached $283,723. But non-residents can take part in the contest too, by mailing in their bets with a check or money order. For details and contact information, visit the Web site at www.nenanaakiceclassic.com. The Web site also includes detailed data from winning dates in past years for outof-towners who care to study up. Your guess must include the hour and minute (Alaska time) of the ice break. Most years, the ice has broken in late April or early to mid-May. A trip-wired tripod planted 2 feet into the ice officially records the time of the ice break. When the ice cracks, a wire connecting the tripod to a clock is triggered, stopping the clock. Or if you prefer to place your bet in person and see some of that ice before it disappears with the coming of spring, visit Nenana March 6-8 for its Tripod Days festival. The event features a basketball tournament, Texas Hold ’Em poker championships, a biscuit-and-gravy breakfast, donut eating contest and hula hoop contest. While most visitors come to Alaska in the summer, winter offers unique experiences like a chance to see the Northern Lights, dog-sledding and snowmobiling, and Fairbanks’ annual World Ice Art Championships, held this year Feb. 20March 28.

Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Andy Lawrence, 22; Melanie Chisholm, 36; Rob Zombie, 45; Rush Limbaugh, 59 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Change is upon you but only if you incorporate things you used to do with things you want to do in the future. You cannot hide from responsibilities, so do your best to get them out of the way or at least control what is going on around you. Restrictions due to poor management or dealings with institutions can be expected. Your numbers are 7, 13, 22, 26, 39, 43, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may have to put more effort and a little more cash into something you believe in if you want to get a decent return. Trust in your talent and your connections to pull off a difficult task. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may think you have a perfect plan but something is likely to be missing that can cost you. Focus on detail and accuracy. An impulsive move will cost you in ways you never imagined. Don’t venture too far off track. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Someone will be quite willing to partner with you in order to reach a common goal. Negotiate your position and you will find a way to satisfy everyone involved. An emotional setback must be avoided. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Make travel plans if it will help open doors leading to a better position or new skills. You can develop a good personal or professional relationship with someone by being upfront and honest concerning your expectations. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): An investment you have can pay off, giving you greater maneuverability and contributing to a new beginning. Someone involved will bring up issues that you should look at before you move forward. With all the facts, you can make positive changes. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make your work fun and you will not only enjoy what you do but you will stand a much greater chance at turning what you do into a successful enterprise. Don’t let a personal problem stand in your way. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll find other people’s ideas interesting but don’t be too quick to believe what’s being offered. The lazy way out will cost you personally and financially. Don’t let love confuse you or cause you to make a poor decision. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A change of location will enable you greater mobility for travel, learning and applying what you know to something that can be quite lucrative. A lifestyle change will do more than just alter your direction – it will bring you clarity and peace of mind. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Put a little cash behind your ideas, plans or projects. Waiting around for someone else to pick up the slack will lead to lost control. Either you make a personal move or someone will force you to make one. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Get back to the people, places and activities that you enjoy the most. Connect with someone from your past. You can gain power and recognition if you stand up for your rights and follow your heart. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A sudden change in the way someone from your past treats you will enable you to plan for a brighter future. A passionate approach to a project you believe in will help you convince others to pitch in and join your cause. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Move forward with any project you’ve started, regardless of the alterations someone makes. Stick to your own plan and prepare to continue down the path alone if necessary. ★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
Cy the Cynic says that the world is no worse off than 50 years ago. It’s just that the news coverage is better (and, I’d add, focused on the negative side of things). Are bidding and play standards higher than in 1960? Most would say that bidding is more accurate, but the level of play is little changed. Declarers still make errors like the one in today’s deal. At 3NT, South won the first heart in dummy and let the queen of diamond ride. West casually played low, but when South led a diamond to his ten, West won and led another heart.
DOWN TWO South won and took the A-K of clubs. When West discarded, South couldn’t get to dummy to finesse against East’s jack. Down two. In the 1964 U.S. Team Trials, three declarers failed at 3NT. Successful declarers correctly won the first heart with the king and took the A-K of clubs. When West showed out, declarer led a low diamond and was sure to reach dummy to pick up the clubs. The defenders got three spades and a diamond.
DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 10 9 7 2 H A 7 5 D Q J 7 C 9 7 2. Your partner opens one club, you respond one spade and he bids two diamonds. What do you say? ANSWER: Your partner has “reversed”: He has longer clubs than diamonds plus a good hand. If he held 8 3, K 6, A K 10 5, A 8 6 4 3, he would bid 1NT at his second turn or would open one diamond. His two diamonds is forcing. You might try 2NT, but I’d suggest showing a tolerance for his first suit. Bid three clubs. South dealer N-S 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.

Harris saves High Point men BY JOE JOHNSON ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU
DURHAM – High Point’s Eugene Harris added to N.C. Central’s misery Monday night by helping the Panthers secure a 58-55 victory at McDougald-McLendon Gym. Harris scored 16 points and hit two big jumpers in the final minute that tied and won the game for the Panthers, who matched their win total from last year.
“Eugene has been doing that for us all year,” High Point coach Scott Cherry said. “He’s been doing it defensively, but in the last couple of games he’s done it on the offensive end.” High Point (9-6) won its fifth straight game, while NCCU (2-15) lost its eighth in a row, including a 70-58 decision to the Panthers on Dec. 29. The Eagles trailed by as many as 11 points in the second half but fought back to lead 55-53 with 2:59 left as Dami Sapara hit
one of two free throws. But that was the last time NCCU scored. Harris hit a jumper from just inside the arc to tie the game at 55-55 and then made the gamewinner with 34.4 seconds left from the right wing as he dribbled the shot clock down against NCCU’s two-three zone. “It was set up for anybody who got an open look,” Harris said. Harris had 16 points to lead High Point, which returns to Big South action on Thursday night
at Charleston Southern before finishing its beach swing at Coastal Carolina on Saturday. The Panthers played without leading scorer Nick Barbour, who was out with an ankle injury suffered in Saturday’s win against Radford. “It was big for us to come on the road and win,” Harris said. “It was a good test. It was almost like a conference game in that we played them before and we were able to make adjustments coming into this one.”
Queen City showdown awaits Ledford, Central
W
hat could have been a run-of-the-mill nonconference doubleheader will be anything but when the Ledford Panthers meet Central Davidson this Saturday. The county rivals won’t play in Wallburg. Or Southmont. Saturday’s 12:30 p.m. tip instead will take place at SPORTS Time Warner Cable Arena, Steve home of the Hanf Charlotte Bob■■■ cats. “For both groups, it’s a great experience to get to play in an arena like that on a professional court,” Ledford boys coach Scott Dalton said. “It’s one of those chances of a lifetime.” Players for Ledford and Central will walk through the same arena tunnels graced by NBA stars, change in special locker rooms and then hit the court for the 12:30 girls game and 2 p.m. boys game. Afterward, the Panthers will gather for a team meal in the Uptown district and then head back to see the Bobcats play the Phoenix Suns. “We’ll make a day of it,” Dalton said. “Hopefully both teams play well, and maybe we play a little better than Central. We want to enjoy it, but also remember why we’re there.” To see the superstars, right? There’s a decent chance the high schoolers will run into a few pros. The Suns’ shootaround is scheduled from 11 to noon, with the Ledford and Central players set for an 11:30 arrival. “We should be able to see them finish up,” offered Panthers athletic director Donald Palmer. Charlotte enters the week with a record of 16-19, while Phoenix owns a 23-14 mark. Stephen Jackson sparks the Bobcats with his 20.2-points per game scoring average, while Gerald Wallace adds an energetic 18.1 ppg. Former Tar Heel legend Raymond Felton, in his fourth year with the Bobcats, ranks third in scoring at 13.1 points while adding 5.3 assists per game. Boris Diaw and Tyson
Chandler – the 7-foot-1 center – round out the team’s starting lineup, with Duke’s Gerald Henderson among those coming off the bench. Of course, the biggest name on the court will be a guy wearing purple. Steve Nash, in his 13th year electrifying NBA audiences, is the Suns’ second-leading scorer (18.9) behind Amaré Stoudemire (20.8). Jason Richardson, Channing Frye and Duke legend Grant Hill – enjoying a resurgence in his 14th year – round out the Phoenix starting lineup. The Suns are coached by Shelby native and former Appalachian State star Alvin Gentry. “It’ll be interesting to see Steve Nash play – one of the all-time best point guards,” said Panthers girls coach John Ralls. “It’ll be interesting to see what he can do and what the Bobcats do against him.” Added Dalton: “I’m a big college basketball fan and do most of my spectating at those events. I’m looking forward to seeing what it’s all about.” Anyone interested in taking in the prep-pro doubleheader can purchase tickets for $25. Ledford and Central each were given a 300-ticket allotment, and Palmer said the Panthers are hoping to sell at least 200 tickets to break even on the trip. The event isn’t so much a fund-raiser as “giving the kids an experience,” Palmer added. With players, cheerleaders and – one would expect – most parents heading to the game, a solid core of fans is in place. But the Panthers are hoping to fill as many seats as possible in the 20,000-seat arena. Palmer said school officials will decide in the coming days if there’s enough interest in chartering a fan bus. Tickets can be purchased from Dalton, Ralls and cheerleading coach Debbie Pope, or by calling the Ledford main office at 769-9671. “You can get a good-size crowd from a high school game in that arena and it looks like nobody’s there,” Ralls said. “As many fans as you can get makes it a lot more fun. I think it’ll be a great experience.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Steroid legend Mark McGwire acknowledges the crowd at Busch Stadium during a post-game ceremony on Sept. 27, 1998 after he received The St. Louis Award from the City of St. Louis in the wake of hitting two home runs during the Cardinals’ final game, to set a then-major league single-season record of 70 home runs. McGwire has finally come clean, admitting he used steroids while breaking the record. McGwire said in a statement sent to The Associated Press on Monday that he used steroids on and off for nearly a decade and he was apologizing. Details 4D
HPU women suffer first Big South loss SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE
BOILING SPRINGS – High Point University women suffered their first Big South loss Monday night, falling to Gardner-Webb, 6756. Freshman Erin Reynolds scored 14 points as they Panthers dropped to 10-7 and 3-1 in the league. “Defensively we gave up way to many drives
to the basket,” HPU head coach Tooey Loy said. “Help side defense wasn’t there and on the ball we were just a step slow tonight. I don’t know how much of that is fatigue from Saturday, but we just weren’t a quick team tonight defensively. We need to be if we are going to be a real good team.” Mackenzie Maier finished with 12 points
for the Panthers to go along with a team-best seven rebounds and two blocks while Jurica Hargraves added 10 points. As a team, HPU struggled on the offensive end, shooting just 31.1 percent (19-61) from the floor. Dominque Hudson led all scorers with 21 points for GardnerWebb which improves to 14-3 overall and 3-1 in the Big South.

T
he Dallas Cowboys made sure the NFL divisional playoffs delivered a marquee matchup. Dallas’ 34-14 rout of Philadelphia in the wildcard round set up Sunday’s five-star showdown in Minneapolis: Cowboys at Vikings. The game pits two of the league’s most colorful and charismatic quarterbacks as the Cowboys’ Tony Romo squares off against Brett Favre, his boyhood idol. Expect television ratings to soar through the Metrodome roof when this
contest kicks off shortly after 1 p.m. The Vikings roster features a NFL-best eight Pro Bowlers. Running back Adrian Peterson, defensive end Jared Allen and wide receiver Sidney Rice all rank among the most exciting and explosive players at their positions. The Cowboys counter with big-play receiving threat Miles Austin and dependable target Jason Witten at tight end. Defensively, Dallas has limited its last four opponents to a combined 31 points (7.75 points per game) and recorded the first
back-to-back shutouts in franchise history to close the regular season. The Cowboys’ six-game postseason losing streak entering the ‘10 playoffs seems a distant memory now. So does talk of Dallas not winning a playoff game since 1996. Vikings-Cowboys has the feel of an NFC championship game matchup. I think Sunday’s winner will wind up representing the NFC in the Super Bowl.

High Point University senior guard Eugene Harris has been named Big South Player of the Week, the conference announced on Monday. Harris helped the Panthers to two wins in conference play last week, averaging 17.5 points. In High Point’s 66-62 win over UNC Asheville last Monday, Harris led the Panthers with 15 points on five three-pointers, including three in the second half as HPU held off the Bulldogs. He also collected two rebounds, two assists and one steal. Harris came up with his first 20-point effort of the season as HPU downed Big South preseason favorite Radford on Saturday before a sellout crowd at the Millis Center. Harris hit a momentumchanging three pointer at the buzzer before halftime that put HPU in the lead for good. Harris shot six-foreight from the field and went six-for-six from the free throw line, including a pair with seven seconds on the clock that sealed the HPU victory.

Deacs add transfer from Georgetown ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
WINSTON-SALEM – Wake Forest has added former Georgetown forward Nikita Mescheriakov to its men’s basketball program, head coach Dino Gaudio announced on Monday. The 6-7, 215-pound native of Minsk, Belarus, announced his decision to leave Georgetown in December. He will join the Deacons this week and start spring semester classes at Wake Forest on Wednesday. Per NCAA transfer rules, Mescheriakov will sit out the 2009-10 spring semester and the 2010-11 fall semes-
ter. He will be eligible to play in games upon the conclusion of the 2010 fall semester and have a year and a half of eligibility with the Deacons remaining. After redshirting his first season at Georgetown in 2007-08, Mescheriakov played in 30 games over the past two seasons. He saw action in 23 games in 2008-09, making nine starts for the Hoyas. He averaged 2.7 points and 1.5 rebounds, while making 11-of-42 from three-point range. Mescheriakov played in seven games off the bench this season before announcing his decision to transfer out of Georgetown.

McGwire comes clean
Cuban defector signs with Reds CINCINNATI (AP) — Aroldis Chapman knew so little about baseball in the United States that before he could pick a team, he had to look at a map. The left-hander from Cuba had never seen a major league game on television and couldn’t name all the teams. He finally settled on one that wears a distinctive “C” on its red cap, like the one he left. Chapman agreed Monday to a $30.25 million, six-year contract with the Cincinnati Reds, who view him as an important addition to their rotation down the road. The small-market club with limited payroll enticed him to Cincinnati, where he took a physical, signed a deal and saw snow for the first time. “When you look at the size of the market we are here in Cincinnati, we have to take some bold moves from time to time to try to improve this franchise,” general manager Walt Jocketty said.
Ogilvy might only have seven PGA Tour victories, but they are quality wins — the U.S. Open at Winged Foot, twice at the Match Play Championship, another World Golf Championship at Doral, and backto-back victories against a field of PGA Tour winners. When he plays this well, the 32-year-old Australian believes he can beat anyone.
Questions surround Patriots upbeat about?” New England coach Bill Belichick said Monday. He has no intention of finding answers — to that or to how to fix the team’s many problems — so soon after such a disappointing finish. It’s good, he said, “to let the dust settle.” Some questions will linger into next season. On offense: Will Welker, who led the NFL with 123 receptions, be ready for the 2010 opener? Will 2006 first-round pick Laurence Maroney get another chance after he again failed to establish himself as a dangerous running back? Is Brady’s late season fade — fewer than 200 yards passing in four of his last five games while burdened by finger and rib injuries — a sign he’ll
never play at an elite level again after his knee injury in the 2008 opener? Was Randy Moss’ ineffectiveness in several lateseason games a result of too much coverage or too little effort? On defense: Will the Patriots let Pro Bowl nose tackle Vince Wilfork, who is eligible for unrestricted free agency, leave? Can the young linebackers led by second-year pro Jerod Mayo bring the passion and performance that veterans Tedy Bruschi and Mike Vrabel brought to the position as part of the Patriots’ three championship teams? And while safety Brandon Meriweather is in the Pro Bowl in his third NFL season, younger defensive backs remain unproven.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots’ season began with Tom Brady back from torn knee ligaments. It ended with Wes Welker sidelined with the same serious injury. Not much else was consistent for a team that hoped to prolong its dynasty of the past decade with the return of its star quarterback. Instead, it started the new one with a lopsided loss that no one expected. The Baltimore Ravens ended New England’s season with a 33-14 win Sunday. They led 7-0 after Ray Rice’s 83-yard touchdown run on the first offensive play and 24-0 after one quarter. Brady’s three turnovers set up the last 17 points of the period. “What was there to be

CHICAGO (AP) — Pitching great Greg Maddux has rejoined the Chicago Cubs as an assistant to general manager Jim Hendry. The 355-game winner, who started his major league career with the Cubs in 1986 and rejoined them from 200406, retired as a player after the 2008 season. “I’m just going to do what I can to learn how both sides of the game work this year and then kind of make a decision after that,” Maddux said when asked if his new job would be a stepping stone to other baseball opportunities.

KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) — What figures to be a peculiar year got off to a familiar start in Hawaii.

It raised hopes for a big season, just as it did a year ago, and just as it should.

NEW YORK (AP) — Mark McGwire finally came clean, admitting he used steroids when he broke baseball’s home run record in 1998. McGwire said in a statement sent to The Associated Press on Monday that he used steroids on and off for nearly a decade. “It’s very emotional, it’s telling family members, friends and coaches, you know, it’s former teammates to try to get ahold of, you know, that I’m coming clean and being honest,” he said during a 20-minute telephone interview, his voice repeatedly cracking. “It’s the first time they’ve ever heard me, you know, talk about this. I hid it from everybody.” McGwire said he also used human growth hormone, and he didn’t know if his use of performance-enhancing drugs contributed to some of the injuries that led to his retirement, at age 38, in 2001. “That’s a good question,” he said. He repeatedly expressed regret for his decision to use steroids, which he said was “foolish” and caused by his desire to overcome injuries, get back on the field and prove he was worth his multimillion salary.

Stocks end mostly higher NEW YORK (AP) – Hopes that global manufacturing activity is heating up lifted industrial stocks Monday ahead of an earnings report from Alcoa Inc. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 46 points, while the broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index advanced for a sixth straight day. The Nasdaq composite index slipped. After the closing bell, Alcoa posted revenue that topped expectations, but profits excluding one-time costs fell short of forecasts. The report from the nation’s largest aluminum producer gave traders one of the first looks at how companies fared in the final quarter of 2009. The Alcoa numbers followed a report that China’s exports
jumped 18 percent in December. The biggerthan-expected increase came after 13 straight months of declines and raised hopes that the world economy is strengthening. “What we’re looking for is signs of how strong the economy really is,” Cannon said. The Dow rose 45.80, or 0.4 percent, to 10,663.99. The S&P 500 index rose 2.00, or 0.2 percent, to 1,146.98, while the Nasdaq fell 4.76, or 0.2 percent, to 2,312.41. The S&P 500 index has risen each day in 2010. The only other time the index has risen the first six trading days of the year was in 1987, when it advanced for seven straight days. The 2.9 percent gain so far in 2010 is a sharp contrast to the slide of 1.4 percent the S&P 500 index logged in the early days of last year.

TRIAD – Programs to help first-time homebuyers and other people seeking an affordable house remain in place, though the range and scope of assistance has changed in the wake of the subprime mortgage catastrophe that decimated the housing market. One program in High Point through the city Community Development and Housing Department targets assistance to lowand moderate-income first-time homebuyers for the purchase of a new or existing residence. The property must be within the city limits of High Point, according to the department. “Families that basically earn in the $40,000s or less can qualify for the city of High Point downpayment assistance program.

They can get $5,000 or so from the city,” said Ed Price, president of HOMEBUYER Ed Price & Associates TAX CREDIT Realtors. The ComWhat you munity Deshould know velopment ■■■ and Housing Department reports the Homebuyer Assistance Program helps low- to moderate-income buyers by providing deferred, low-interest loans to reduce cash costs for a downpayment, closing costs and other expenses. The program requires the homebuyer to receive an approved loan from a participating lender and provide $500 of their own funds toward the purchase, according to the city. The program cannot be used to purchase a home that exceeds the current Federal Housing Administration mortgage limit for a single-family house. The city has a host of lenders who have been
certified to participate in the program. Another goal of the Homebuyer Assistance Program is to keep low- to moderate-income homebuyers from becoming entangled with disreputable lenders, the city reports. The program “is also designed to pro-

SUNDAY: The ins and outs of the federal tax credit MONDAY: How to go about participating in the program TODAY: Despite tough economy, there are still many programs to help homebuyers.
THURSDAY: Realtors embrace expanded tax credit. FRIDAY: Program’s effects may spill over into other industries. Other affordable housing programs are available on the state and federal level. The North Carolina Housing Finance Agency provides a first-time homebuyer program. The program is designed to help low- and moderateincome prospective homebuyers with a stable credit history receive fixed rates on conventional and government loans. The U.S. Department of Agriculture offers qualifying low- and moderateincome rural homebuyers a 100 percent-plus loan-to-
value option with a low interest rate. The extension of the $8,000 homebuyers tax credit by Congress last fall, which takes the credit into the first part of 2010, offers a ripe opportunity for people seeking a residence, Price said. “Quite frankly, that’s kind of like earning $10,000 or $11,000, because by the time you earned that amount and paid taxes and other obligations on it, it would be like $8,000,” he said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Congressional investigators say the number of extraordinary price hikes on drugs doubled between 2000 and 2008. The drugs affected are mostly specialty drugs but also include popular products like Eli Lilly’s schizophrenia treatment Zyprexa.

Gas prices zip toward $3 mark NEW YORK (AP) – Gasoline prices on Monday continued their push toward $3 per gallon. The only question now is when? Prices have been jumping on the back of a strong oil market where the cost for a barrel has spiked 20 percent in the past month on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Skyrocketing gasoline prices couldn’t come at a worse time for motorists, who will see heating bills
jump after the worst cold spell in years. Oil prices are now about three times what they were a year ago. “There is a long history of tripled oil prices causing consternation among consumers,” Peter Beutel of Cameron Hanover said in his report Monday. “We are not there, yet, but gasoline prices at more than $3.00 is certainly an unwelcome sign of consumer distress.” Prices rose 1.4 cents
AOL to lay off 1,200 workers SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – The struggling Internet company AOL will lay off up to 1,200 workers because it didn’t get enough volunteers to accept buyouts. AOL spokeswoman Tricia Primrose said Monday that only 1,100 volunteered to leave. That means it would need to shed up to 1,200 positions to reach its previously announced reduction target of up to 2,300, or about a third of its work force.
Primrose says AOL is laying off some employees in the U.S. on Monday, though most will occur on Wednesday. She also says that the company started laying off employees in its European offices on Monday, too. AOL said in November it would take $200 million in charges for severance and restructuring-related costs. The cuts come as AOL separated from Time Warner Inc. last month.
overnight to $2.749 per gallon, according to auto club AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. Prices have climbed 8.4 cents a gallon in the past week and are 95.5 cents higher than a year ago. The survey shows prices have jumped 8 cents or more in the past week in many parts of the country, including Dallas, Chicago, Miami and Columbus, Ohio. Motorists are paying
about $50 more a month for gasoline than a year ago, and the total fuel bill for Americans now tops $1 billion per day compared with $650 million per day last year. Add in heating oil and diesel fuel, and the total fuel bill is probably $400 million to $550 million more each day than a year ago, said Tom Kloza of the Oil Price Information Services. Kloza said in an e-mail that he sees prices rising by another 5 or 10 cents
a gallon for now, but that drivers will not pay $3 for gas until spring. Benchmark crude for February delivery fell 15 cents to $82.60 a barrel on the Nymex Friday, despite signs of strong demand from China and a weak dollar. China said Sunday that oil imports rose 14 percent last year to a record high in December, part of a 56 percent surge in overall imports last month.
Holiday sales better than expected NEW YORK (AP) – A research firm confirmed Monday that the nation’s stores had a respectable sales gain for the holiday shopping season compared with last year’s steep decline.
ShopperTrak, which is based in Chicago, said Monday that sales for November and December rose 1.7 percent and customer counts slipped 2.9 percent. That’s better than ShopperTrak’s pre-
dictions for a 1.6 percent sales gain and a 4.2 percent drop in traffic. For the holiday 2008 season, sales fell 6 percent and traffic declined 15 percent, according to ShopperTrak.
