RETURN OF $3 GAS

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – After adjusting to gas prices that fluctuated between $2.30 and $2.60 in 2009, motorists in the state may be casting wary eyes at the price of a gallon of fuel as it inches upward toward the $3 mark.

State gas prices increased 1 cent from Monday to Tuesday, bringing the average price per gallon to $2.72, according to AAA Carolinas.

The average price in the Triad on Tuesday was $2.69. While the travel organization notes the Triad

continues to have some of the lowest fuel prices in the state, prices have risen 14 cents per gallon since last month.

“What was pushing the prices up was the weak American dollar and also speculation by oil investors that manufacturing in China would increase this year,” said Brendan Byrnes, public relations manager for AAA Carolinas.

An increase in energy usage due to chilly temperatures in the South also has oil investors concerned, Byrnes said.

“The heating demand in the U.S. with the cold weather is also a factor,” he said.

“There are some weather experts out there that are saying February could bring some unreasonably low temperatures as well.”

Those factors, combined with the approach of spring months and a summer travel season, paint an uncertain picture of prices in 2010.

Gas prices in 2009 remained slightly volatile, bouncing between a $2.30 to $2.60 price range. Byrnes said the price per gallon in 2010 may land between $2.50 and $2.80.

But the risk of prices breaking the $3 mark this year depends on the strength of the U.S. dollar, he said.

Harold Kennedy, president of Rex Oil Co., received the Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce Outstanding Citizen Award.

The award recognizes Kennedy for his leadership accomplishments during many years.

“It’s certainly possible we’ll see an increase from here,” he said. “Oil prices started coming back down midday on Monday, so it may depend the strength of the U.S. dollar. If the dol-

Randleman Regional Reservoir:

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GREENSBORO – After 70 years in the making, Randleman Lake now has an official name – the Randleman Regional Reservoir.

The board members of the Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority selected the formal name Tuesday as they prepare to open the 3,000-acre lake for recreation March 1. At its monthly meeting, the board also set a fee structure and the days and times for recreation at the lake, which will stay open through Nov. 30.

The board members settled on the formal name to reflect the area’s heritage of being called Randleman Lake for decades, the regional cooperation that led to the lake’s creation and the

“I think the public is anxious to get on the lake,” said board member Darrell Frye, who’s a Randolph County commissioner.

The lake already has been profiled in outdoor magazines, and the Water Authority has received two requests to hold fishing tournaments at the reservoir, Frye said.

Personnel costs for marina workers and lake wardens will total $191,148 this year. The Water Authority intends to use mainly part-time workers to limit the expense, said Executive Director John Kime.

Even with the personnel moves, Frye acknowledges, “it’s a big lake, and it will cost a lot to maintain it.” pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Alcohol commission eyes ethics push RALEIGH (AP) – The state Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission is considering a voluntary ethics policy after revelations of huge executive salaries and an extravagant dinner

TRIAD – A Thomasville City Schools elementary school principal faces assault charges after an alleged altercation with a physical education teacher from a different school.

The Randolph County Sheriff’s Department said it has charged Benjie Brown, principal of Liberty Drive Elementary School in Thomasville, with assault and battery stemming from a Jan. 2 incident.

According to authorities, Brown, 39, of Thomasville, assaulted Kevin Luke Starrett of High Point by striking him with his fist several

times in the head. Starrett is a physical education teacher at Thomasville Middle School.

Police haven’t released details as to a motive for the attack, which school officials said occurred off school grounds.

Thomasville City Schools Superintendent Keith Tobin said the school system is investigating the incident as a personnel matter.

The complaint against Brown was filed by Starrett Jan. 2 in Randolph County, according to WXII News 12. A warrant was then sent to the Thomasville Police Department, where Brown turned himself in that day.

More incentives, firing range OK’d

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The Davidson County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution at its meeting Tuesday that will give a new firing range to the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office.

The board approved using a nearly 20-acre piece of land donated to the department by Alcoa Power Generating Inc. that could be used as a firing range that would “aid in the training of law enforcement and personnel,” according to the resolution.

The property is an irregular-shaped parcel with more than 19 acres in Davidson County and less than one acre in Montgomery County.

Lt. Robert Miller, speaking on behalf of Davidson CountySheriffDavidGrice, said the department had been working with Alcoa on the project for a while.

“This would be a plus for us,” said Miller about the firing range. “We’ve been working on this for about eight months.”

The board also approved grants for two projects at the meeting that could add hundreds of jobs to the area.

Commissioners unanimously approved a grant for Project Combined, which plans to invest $2 million and create 150 jobs. The grant will provide an incentive calculated at 0.0027 times the company’s investment in the plant, machinery and

equipment each year for five years. A second grant involves a lease agreement for 12 years not to exceed $6,000 annually.

A grant for Project G, which plans to invest $1.2 million and create 12 jobs, also was approved. The grant incentive is calculated at 0.0027 times the company’s investment in the plant, machinery and equipment each year for five years.

“Those projects would result in good jobs for the citizens of Davidson County,” said Steve Googe, executive director of the Davidson County Development Commission. The board approved two similar projects at its Jan. 5 meeting. It approved grants for Project V, which is estimated to create 300 jobs and invest $12 million over six years. The company will receive an incentive grant calculated at 0.0027 times the company’s investment in the plant machinery and equipment annually for seven years.

Project V also will receive an incentive grant calculated at 0.0028 times the company’s investment from the city of Lexington.

Project Lynx, which plans to invest $20 million and provide 42 jobs, will receive a $145,833.33 grant that will be split between Davidson County and the city of Lexington.

The grant involves a lease agreement for about 80 acres on a 288,000 to 320,000 square-foot building that will be constructed.

sioners in March. “After much discussion and review .... based on all the relevant information that has been received, the community input received, the current financial limitations, as well as the financial forecast, it is our recommendation to this Randolph County Board of Education that Archdale-Trinity area schools remain intact with no grade change configuration at this time, with a maximum benefit proposed to be included in the long-range building program that will be finalized in March,” Superintendent Donald Andrews said.

For several months, the board of education weighed several options to reconfigure attendance lines in the ArchdaleTrinity school district.

In November, the school board agreed to take public comments on two options to redistrict lines for students in kindergarten through eighth grade.

Last month, the Board of Education added a third option.

Under the first option, Archdale-Trinity Middle would have become a sixth-through-eighth grade school for the Wheatmore High district; Archdale Elementary would become a sixthgrade school for the Trinity high School district; and Braxton Craven Middle would become a seventh- and eighth-grade school for the Trinity High district.

This option would cost between $171,000 and

$190,000. Costing between $86,000 and $91,000, the second option would have Braxton Craven Middle remaining a sixth-grade school for the entire Archdale-Trinity area, while Archdale-Trinity Middle would remain a seventhand eighth-grade school for the entire ArchdaleTrinity area.

The third option would have converted Trindale Elementary into a sixthgrade-only school. The option would have also made Braxton Craven Middle a seventh and eighth grade school only for Trinity High, while Archdale-Trinity Middle would become a sixththrough-eighth grade school for Wheatmore High. The cost would be about $180,000 for this option.

If the board approved one of the options, members would have had to ask the Randolph County Board of Commissioners for funding, according to school officials.

Marty Trotter, the system’s assistant superintendent, said he has been told by county commissioners that a large amount of funding would not be available until 2015.

School officials said the options would have been a temporary fix until a new middle school is built in the ArchdaleTrinity area, creating separate feeder schools for Trinity High and the new Wheatmore High.

Alleged chief of violent Mexican cartel caught TIJUANA, Mexico – Mexico has captured a kingpin accused of terrorizing his way to the top of a gang fighting for control of key U.S. drug routes – even ordering rivals dissolved in caustic soda. Tuesday’s arrest capped a series of victories in Mexico’s U.S.backed war on narcotics.

Teodoro Garcia Simental, known as “El Teo,� was arrested before dawn at a home he owned in the city of La Paz on the Baja California peninsula, said Mexican federal police commissioner Ramon Eduardo Pequeno.

Bomb kills Iran physicist; US, Israel blamed TEHRAN, Iran – A senior physics professor who publicly backed Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi was killed when a bomb-rigged motorcycle exploded as he left for work Tuesday. The government blamed the U.S. and Israel for the attack.

The blast apparently was set off by a remote trigger, but it was unclear why Tehran University professor Masoud Ali Mohammadi, 50, was targeted.

President Hugo Chavez has said rationing is necessary to prevent water levels in Guri Dam – the cornerstone of Venezuela’s energy system – from falling to critical lows and causing a widespread power collapse.

The “systemic” failure includes permitting parolees, under age 30, from our left-wing indoctrination camps (public schools) to vote.

Permitting anyone to vote who pays no income tax, those with no “skin in the game.” Permitting those to vote who get their “news” from the Comedy Channel, or who can’t name their representative or the vice president.

Permitting anyone to vote who believes that the Demo-Rats’ health care “reform” will reduce the deficit, or who agrees with Comrade Pelosi that the health care process was the “most open ever!” Permitting anyone to vote who believes the new plan will cover all Americans, or that insurance premiums will decrease. Permitting anyone to vote who does not believe care will be rationed.

Permitting anyone to vote who believes that frisking 12-year-old children or 80-year-old men with canes is how to make air travel safer, or anyone who believes that Janet Napolitano is the best choice to protect America. Oops, sorry Barack!

Permitting anyone to vote who believes that captured “alleged” terrorists who already confessed should be tried in civilian courts.

Oops, sorry Eric Holder!

Sanitation department workers are appreciated In my opinion, we have the best sanitation department here in Davidson County. On Dec. 30, I failed to get the garbage bin to the street. The truck went by and ours was not available for them.

I thought I heard them coming again, quickly went out to the street looking to see if they were in sight.

Suddenly, the truck was coming

back down the street. I flagged them down, the friendly driver stopped and I began telling him what had happened. I started to go for the bin behind my house but these friendly men would not let me.

One smiling fellow said, “I’ll get it,” and he did. He rolled the heavily loaded bin up the hill and cheerfully they hauled the trash away.

I wish I knew their names; this is a thank you to them.

These and other cheerful men with the sanitation department take pride in their important job for the citizens of our county. Regardless of the weather, extreme cold or heat, their commitment and hard work is gratefully appreciated. I say “Thank you” to these men.

he city of High Point has developed through its City Project program a magnificent plan for the redevelopment of Washington Drive, an area that historically has been the hub of the city’s African-American community.

But for all the hard work, professional expertise and community involvement in that plan, the idea wasn’t going to happen without the law enforcement effort that has gotten under way on Washington Drive and in the surrounding neighborhood.

The High Point Police Department, in conjunction with High Point Community Against Violence, has begun a crackdown on drug violations and other crimes that have plagued the area for years. The department has focused its nationally respected Overt Drug Market Intervention Strategy there with the aim of eradicating drug dealing and related crimes.

Additionally, the department filed a nuisanceabatement lawsuit against absentee owners of three residences in the area, seeking forfeiture of their property in order to stop the alleged history of criminal activities there.

The courts will decide the outcome of the specific nuisance-abatement case based on the facts. But in general, police are right to inject the nuisance-abatement statutes where necessary in order to expedite the revitalization of the Washington Drive area. And it’s a tool that law enforcement should employ anywhere that property – whether rental or owner occupied – is used for criminal purposes.

This is only the second time city police have used nuisance-abatement laws against residential property. They were used successfully several times during the 1990s to close nightclubs and businesses that had become scenes of criminal activities. And their use against a property or business owner is fair because property owners and business operators have an obligation to not allow criminal activities on their property.

We hope this law enforcement push is successful so that city officials can get on with attracting new businesses and private investments to the Washington Drive area. Because without private interest and investments, the hoped-for revitalization project also won’t happen.

Do we have a ‘Negro-gate’ brewing in the US Senate?

T

his is ridiculous. Why are we even debating the point that what Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said about candidate Obama was acceptable because he stated the points in support of the man, not in condescension? Would any of my brothers and sisters give a pass to a white rapper dropping the N-word at any time because he’s doing so in celebration of the music? I didn’t think so.

Why do the media and other leftist apologists such as the NAACP give these old bull white guys free passes simply because they have a D after their names? Because they peddle social welfare programs to keep Negroes down and in their place?

And when one of them rises to the top and doesn’t sound like a Negro with that “dialect,” then he might be able to aspire to the highest office in the land. But only the light-skinned ones, mind you! Just what exactly is a Negro dialect, Sen. Reid? And where did you get your African linguistics degree?

The Democratic Party purports to know and speak for all minorities in this country, especially African Americans (that’s what we’re called these days, senator). So what kind of sensitivity training is Tim Kaine orchestrating at party headquarters?

One commentator has excused the Nevadan’s stupidity because, “well, he’s 70 years old …” Case closed. He just affirmed what Michael Steele called for yesterday – Sen. Reid is unfit to serve as majority leader.

If one is too old to understand changing times and the demands of a growing and ever-shifting melting pot of cultures and demographics, then don’t ask the voters of your state to send you back to Washington, because you are no longer able to connect with their needs.

Comments like, “he doesn’t know better” only support the allegation Reid is out of touch with mainstream America – a country that, at least publicly, walked away from Aunt Jemima references of the antebellum South OPINION decades ago.

What should bother AmeriArmstrong cans is Reid made these Williams statements in private, which shows, to me at least, his true colors and backward thinking. And then there’s the actual substance of the words. To the majority leader, it’s OK to run for president if you’re a black man, but only if you don’t look or talk like a black man.

Finally, we return to the classic political firestorm this episode has started. Here again that eternal double standard rears its head. Only this time there’s an interesting new variable. If Mitt Romney had uttered similar words, the Washington press corps and liberal media would be the first to bear its fangs; followed by the likes of Paul Begala elbowing for face time to call Romney the product of a “backwards, narrow-minded religion.” Yet Reid is Mormon himself, and not one question has arisen surrounding the influence of his faith on the words he uttered months ago. Let’s hope the media stays consistent on their views of Mormonism should Romney win the Republican presidential nomination in a few years. I’m not holding my breath.

oes losing your cell phone trigger hysterics?

Does life seem bleak and bitter without Internet? Does your free time stretch endlessly before you when your TV breaks? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might have TO (Technology Obsession).

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry; if you find yourself watching grass and biting your nails when your PC breaks, you are not alone. An article I found online reports that in a poll about peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dependence on technology, half the respondents claimed that â&#x20AC;&#x153;they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t liveâ&#x20AC;? without Internet access. Two in 10 people felt that their CD and DVD players were â&#x20AC;&#x153;essentialâ&#x20AC;? to their lives. If that seems a little ridiculous, consider this: The article was written four years ago.

Hmmm, I wonder how far weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come in four years? You could answer that CDs have been replaced by iPods and DVDs by Blu-ray. Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had to expand his work force just to keep up with the demand for DS Lites and Wii systems. And kids are getting cell phones along with their bottles in the cradle.

Do you ever wonder whether this global flood of technology possibly could have a negative effect? Like, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, a breakdown in meaningful communication? Most people are happy that our days of Xbox-free Amish existence are gone. And sure, increased communication and connection have their merits. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a technophobe or anything, but surely thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something appealing about enjoying the company of family and friends without a chattering TV in the background.

Maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s asking too much. How about cell phones?

Showplace receivership moved to ‘inactive calendar’ in court

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The legal situation involving the furniture showroom and trade show complex Showplace remains little changed five months after the property was placed in receivership through the courts.

A letter sent by an attorney involved in the case to the Guilford County Trial Court Administrator indicates that the receivership isn’t “ripe for trial or other disposition.” Attorney J. Patrick Haywood of Greensboro suggests to the court that the matter “be placed on the inactive calendar.”

Haywood told The High Point Enterprise that a case on an inactive calendar means nothing will happen with the matter “until some further time.”

The last activity with the receivership, as indicated in the case file through Guilford County Superior Court, is the letter from mid-November asking that the matter be moved to the inactive calendar.

Guilford County Supe-

Edward L. Clayton, an agent with High Point Bank, was awarded a Presidential Citation by the Independent Insurance Agents of North Carolina.

Clayton, who’s with HPB Insurance Group Inc., was given the citation for his dedication to the organization’s education program. He has served as an instructor for education courses for 40 consecutive years.

rior Court Judge Lindsay Davis Jr. signed an order in early August placing Showplace and four other downtown showroom properties in receivership after the note and deed of trust were deemed in default. Five years ago, the original principal amount for the loan on the five buildings was $81 million.

Showplace and the other four properties were purchased in 2005 by a group of local investors and a Chicago-based private equity firm.

Charlotte-based Lincoln Harris was brought in as receiver and is managing Showplace.

The operators of Showplace and the other showroom buildings continue to progress and are expecting a strong spring High Point Market, said Lincoln Harris Senior Vice President Dave Oddo.

The status of the receivership “is pretty much as it was when we started,” Oddo said Tuesday.

Lincoln Harris officials don’t have any indication when the receivership status will change in the immediate future, he said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Search warrants may shed light on December slaying

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Evidence gathered by police in High Point’s most recent homicide includes statements from two witnesses, as well as DNA material, according to newly released court documents.

The information is included in search warrants for the home and car of Johnathan Brandon Mack, one of the suspects in the Dec. 21 shooting death of 19-year-old Kinitez Dante Gil-

Police were looking for DNA evidence, such as blood or saliva, cigarette butts, bottles or other items in his car. bert in the 300 block of Ennis Street.

Mack and Trevorri Jamel McFadden, both 17, each face first-degree murder charges.

Applications for the warrants by Detective Shawn Hosier gave the following account: Two witnesses identified Mack as the person who shot Gilbert after the victim threw a brick through the window of a Honda Accord driven by Mack, who voluntarily came to the police department after the incident and gave a statement to a detective.

Some time later, Mack, a senior at

T. Wingate Andrews High School, was advised he was under arrest for murder. The detective read him his Miranda rights, which he waived, agreeing to Mack speak with police.

Mack said he was driving a dark blue 1992 Honda Accord through the Southside neighborhood “when he confronted an unknown black male” who “threw a brick through a window of his vehicle.” Mack said that “after this incident took place,” he drove to his Forrest Street home.

Police were looking for firearms, clothing, fingerprints, gang writings, gang paraphernalia, photographs showing associations with co-defendants, and other evidence when they searched Mack’s home. They were looking for DNA evidence, such as blood or saliva, cigarette butts, bottles or other items in his car.

Inventories of seized property included with the warrants stated police seized a Zephyr baseball cap, a red bandanna and pieces of paper with Mack’s name from his bedroom.

A crime lab technician took DNA samples from four door handles, the steering wheel and gear shifter of the car, as well as “trace evidence” from the front and rear seats.

Mack and McFadden have been jailed without bond since their arrests. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Union rep advises silence as a response D

ear Abby: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at my witâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end at work. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a woman in her early 30s here who is out of the closet, and very vocal about being a butch lesbian. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m straight, happily married and 20 years older than she is.

Abby, she keeps hitting on me! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve told her Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not interested and that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m straight. She then makes comments that she has converted other women.

She does this in front of others and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mortifying.

Yes, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m old-fashioned and religious, and I do consider her sexual behavior immoral. I am also tired of feeling like I have to apologize for my religious beliefs.

I have spoken to my union rep, but was told not to create trouble for another union member.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like this sexual harassment. I want to go to HR about it, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid it will start a riot in the union if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fired over this complaint.

There have been other complaints about her harassing people. Please advise. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Being Harassed in Illinois Dear Harassed: Your union rep is wrong. Would the person tell you to tolerate sexual harassment if your harasser was a man?

The behavior you have described is against the law whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done by a male or female, regardless of sexual orientation.

Tell your rep you want it stopped immediately, and that if it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, you WILL ADVICE take it to HR. Your Dear religious beAbby liefs do not â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; enter into this. The womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior is creating a hostile work environment.

Dear Abby: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a 26year-old minor league baseball player. I have been involved in two serious relationships. My first was a girl I became engaged to when I was 20 and in college playing baseball there. I loved her and was committed to her, but she was jealous of my â&#x20AC;&#x153;first loveâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; my sport. She constantly tried in subtle ways to get me to quit.

After we had a huge fight, she finally threw my ring back at me.

I stayed single for a couple of years and then met a woman and began slowly dating her. The first year our relationship was good, but over the next three years the same issues arose and I was hearing, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re selfish.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love me.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grow up!â&#x20AC;?

Being a professional baseball player has been my dream since I was 5, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not ready to give up on it yet. Both these women continue to

Funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. Thursday at Christ United Methodist Church with Dr. Perry Miller and Rev. Carol Carkin officiating. Interment will follow in Floral Garden Park Cemetery.

call and text me crying because it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m angry at them for not supporting me, but I also feel sad for them because all they did was love me. What do I do about them and about trusting women with my heart and dreams? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Loveless in The Midwest Dear Loveless: Stop allowing those women to lay a guilt trip on you. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure when you met them you made it clear that you wanted a career in baseball â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the sacrifice that would mean for all parties concerned. Instead of wasting more time looking back, tell these women goodbye once and for all and stop responding to their calls and messages.

To be the wife of a professional athlete takes a special kind of woman, someone with a strong sense of independence because of the number and length of the inevitable separations that come with the sports business. Look around at your teammates who have successful marriages, then ask them if they know any eligible ladies. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t guarantee you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t strike out, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m willing to wager that the odds of hitting a home run will be better.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Gov. Beverly Perdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal to complete Charlotteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outer loop by entering into an extended payment plan with a contractor is legal, the state Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office said Tuesday.

The formal advisory opinion, written by Attorney General Roy Cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief deputy, affirms the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earlier comments that state lawyers had no problems with the alternative financing idea before she unveiled it in November as the way to finish Interstate 485.

The four-page opinion requested Dec. 9 by state Transportation Secretary Gene Conti appears to keep on track the accelerated completion date for the loop to 2014 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; still behind the original schedule but at least six years earlier than the most recent target. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been unable to identify any provision of North Carolina law that would prohibit

the contracting proposal described by NCDOT,â&#x20AC;?

Chief Deputy Attorney General Grayson Kelley wrote Conti. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nor are we aware of any case law restricting delayed payments by a state entity to a contractor.â&#x20AC;?

The letter came a day before Perdue visits Charlotte, where she promised city leaders last year she would find a way to jump start I485â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s construction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal is to complete the loop as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible,â&#x20AC;? Perdue said in a prepared statement Tuesday.

State Treasurer Janet Cowellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office said late Tuesday it remains concerned about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;design-build-financeâ&#x20AC;? concept, which has never been used before in North Carolina. An outside lawyer told Cowellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff in November he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe state law gives DOT the power to finance such an agreement on its own.

rom an early age, Randy Sadler lived life his way. He ignored his parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advice, broke the rules and got into mischief.

When other little boys were sleeping soundly, Sadler often was drifting on the forbidden waters of the Waterways Experiment Station across the street from his home in Vicksburg, Miss. As a teenager, he was so untamed ABOVE that AND he was BEYOND kicked out of the Patty Jo church Sawvel youth â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always thought I had a better way. And, even if I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, I wanted to try it my way anyway,â&#x20AC;? Sadler said.

At 15, while on a 10-day Boy Scout hiking trip in New Mexico, Sadler saw a new possibility. A 60-year-old Scout leader said he wanted to help the boys. He actually took part of the weight from their packs and added it to his own.

Even though he was always the last one to camp, he always made it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I listened to him because he set the example.

He told us that we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to rush through life. A slow and steady pace would get us where we needed to go,â&#x20AC;? Sadler said.

It would be years before Sadler applied that advice, but the seeds of change were planted. In the meantime, Sadler found that he loved the mountains and that they taught him life skills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was in my 20s, I led a less experienced hiker on a shortcut through a valley. It took a lot longer, and we had to turn back. I had to carry both packs back up the mountain because the other hiker was exhausted,â&#x20AC;? Sadler said.

In that instance, Sadler paid the painful price for not doing his homework.

By the time Sadler was in his mid-20s he concluded that experienced people often give helpful advice and that following the rules is beneficial. At 30, Sadler married and even became a spiritual man. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d proven to himself that like his former Scout leader, God doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just tell people what to do; he actually helps them carry their load.

One year later, Sadler started his own business in Kernersville, Accent Marble & Tile.

Today, Sadler is 55.

He still makes frequent trips to the mountains with his wife, Peggy, and their 9-year-old daughter, Aubrey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m teaching my daughter to pace herself, enjoy Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creations and follow the rules so she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get lost like her daddy did,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Swollen leg needs prompt attention

D

ear Dr. Donohue: My mother-in-law is 71 and does not like going to the doctor.

For the past two years, her right leg swells up every day. She says that when she wakes up, she is fine and the leg doesn’t hurt. She refuses to see a doctor. My husband said, “I’m taking you,” and she started crying. Is there anything you can say to encourage her to see a doctor? – Anon.

BLONDIE

I can assure your mother-in-law that doctors aren’t such bad people.

She might be surprised and actually like the one she sees. She has to find out the cause of her swelling and the appropriate treatment for it. Delaying treatment can lead to changes that are close to impossible to undo.

Our bodies are supplied with lymph vessels, tiny hoses that suction up tissue fluid and return it to the circulation. When something obstructs those lymph vessels, fluid remains in that part of the body. Most likely, this is what’s wrong with your mother’s leg. She has a lymph-vessel obstruction that causes her leg to swell. It goes down at night because the leg is elevated and gravity stops pulling fluid into the leg.

Or she could have trouble with the veins in her legs. Their valves might not be working well. In that case, blood stays in the leg veins and fluid oozes into the tissues.

If your mother-in-law is adamant about not consulting a doctor, she can do some things that

will help her leg.

She must elevate her leg as often as she can and for as long as she HEALTH can during the day. By Dr. Paul “elevation,” Donohue I mean her ■■■ leg has to be higher than her heart. She can attain that position only by lying down with her leg propped up on pillows. She should never cross her legs when she’s sitting. A swollen leg encourages infections, so she should never go barefoot or wear sandals.

Compression hose (elastic hose), preferably fitted for her leg, squeeze fluid out of the leg and back into the circulation.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I take high blood pressure medicine, and it gives me a dry mouth. It keeps me awake all night. I gargle with Biotene, but that doesn’t last long. Can you suggest something else?

– G.J. Have you asked your doctor for a different blood pressure medicine?

I can give you the names of a number of products that might keep your mouth moistened longer. Numoisyn Lozenges and Numoisyn Liquid require a doctor’s prescription. OraMoist, a time-release disc that sticks to the roof of the mouth, can keep the mouth from drying out for many hours. You can find it in most drugstores.

MouthKote Oral Moisturizer and spray work well.

Biotene also comes as a gel, and that might last longer than the gargle preparation you’re using.

Medicines that promote saliva production include pilocarpine, Salagen and Evoxac. You need a prescription for these.

Dear Dr. Donohue: When is the best time to get a regular flu shot? I read that the shot is effective for only four months.

Getting it in September or October will leave you unprotected from January on. – R.H. Vaccines promote the production of antibodies, ammunition against germs. Within two weeks of the flu shot, antibodies to the flu virus are at a level high enough to afford protection. Peak antibody levels are reached in two to four months.

They remain high for some time. By the next flu season, however, their level has waned and protection is gone.

Influenza most often hits its high attack rate in January and February.

Vaccine administered as early as September still affords good protection in those months and later.

October is the usual month for vaccination, but it can be effectively given in November and December, and even into January.

DR. DONOHUE regrets he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Readers may write him at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 328536475

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Former U.S. Rep. Harold Ford Jr. began crafting his argument Tuesday for a potential bid to unseat Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, reinventing himself as an independent thinker battling â&#x20AC;&#x153;Washington insiders.â&#x20AC;?

Ford has not decided yet whether to get into this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Democratic primary in New York, but the former congressman from Tennessee wrote in Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New York Post that he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;strongly considering running.â&#x20AC;?

He is doing so, he said, because the nation is at its best when â&#x20AC;&#x153;we trust competition to refine the steel of our convictions and the truth of our arguments.â&#x20AC;?

President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton, several Cabinet officials and members of Congress.

Biden thanked Obama for treating his mother â&#x20AC;&#x153;with warmth and personal affection.â&#x20AC;?

A saffron marinade, with its exotic aroma, is a highly valued part of Indian cooking, and it keeps this Broiled Spicy Saffron Chicken moist and flavorful.

Marinade to the rescue Spicy blend saves plain chicken breasts

BY JIM ROMANOFF FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

B

oneless, skinless chicken breasts can almost always benefit from a marinade, which imparts both moisture and flavor.

Most marinades are made from a combination of oil and an acidic ingredient, such as citrus juice, vinegar or wine.

The marinade for this broiled spicy saffron chicken has nonfat plain yogurt (which is acidic) as its base and only a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil.

Because yogurt is only mildly acidic, it won’t make foods mushy or tough, making it well suited for delicate chicken, fish or shrimp. Marinades with stronger acids, such as bal-

samic vinegar, are better suited for beef.

This marinade gets its spiciness from a blend of cayenne pepper, cumin and cinnamon, but also an exotic floral bouquet and lovely golden color from a few pinches of saffron, a prized ingredient in Indian cooking.

Saffron is expensive, but a little goes a long way. Always purchase saffron as threads rather than ground, which can have poor flavor. There really is no substitute for the exotic aroma of saffron, but if you like, you can leave it out and the dish will still taste delicious.

Serve broiled spicy saffron chicken with fragrant basmati rice and a side of cauliflower stir-fried with onion, cumin seed, ground coriander and chopped fresh ginger.

Broiled Spicy Saffron Chicken Start to finish: 1 hour (10 minutes active) Servings: 4 1 pinch saffron threads (1/4 teaspoon) 2 tablespoons hot water 1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt 1/2 small onion, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/2 tablespoon honey 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1 pound)

In a small bowl, crumble the saffron threads. Add the hot water, then steep for 5 minutes.

In a shallow dish, combine the yogurt, onion, garlic, cayenne, lemon juice, honey, oil, salt, cumin and cinnamon. Stir in the saffron water. Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours.

When ready to cook, heat the broiler. Coat a broiler pan rack with cooking spray.

Place the chicken on the rack over the broiler pan. Broil the chicken 3 to 5 inches from the heat source, turning once, until it is cooked through and no longer pink at the center, 4 to 6 minutes per side.

New cookbooks aim to help you eat right

BY MICHELE KAYAL FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Y

ou’re probably thinking about those resolutions vowing to eat better, cook more and shed the holiday pounds.

To help you get started – and spend that gift card from your mother-in-law – the following are the latest healthy-eating, betterliving cookbooks: • “Moosewood Restaurant Cooking For Health,” the latest installment from the Moosewood Collective, offers more than 200 creative, easy-to-prepare vegetar-

ian and vegan recipes. Greektomato yogurt soup delivers a tasty, tangy take on ordinary tomato soup and packs a big calcium and lycopene punch in just 30 minutes. Four stovetop tofus – including pomegranateglazed and tropical lime – make creative use of the potentially boring staple. Love the info on calories, carbs, protein and other nutrients with each recipe.

• “Eating Well: 500-Calorie Dinners” screams “New Year’s resolution.” Part cookbook, part cheerleader, the book combines a seven-step weight loss plan with meals that clock in at 500 calories

or less. Dishes such as broccoli and goat cheese souffle and minimeatloaves take the guesswork out of portion control by being prepared in individual servings.

Recipes abound for shrimp and scallops. There’s also lamb chops, steak with gorgonzola and caramelized onions, and mozzarellastuffed turkey burgers. And who knew hot fudge pudding cake could have only 142 calories?

• In “The Kind Diet,” actress Alicia Silverstone promises to help you feel great, lose weight and save the planet. Silverstone pairs arguments for veganism with pictures of cute chicks (the

poultry sort) and piggies, and wraps up with recipes for dishes such as radicchio pizza with truffle oil, pecan-crusted seitan and egg salad sandwiches made of tofu.

• “Clean Food” by Terry Walters is designed to help you adjust your lifestyle, changing not just what you eat, but how and when you eat, and the way you think about it. More than 200 recipes organized according to season make use of whole grains, legumes, sea vegetables, nuts, seeds and seasonal produce in healthful and innovative ways.

Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Orlando Bloom, 33; Stephen Hendry, 41; Julia Louis-Dreyfus, 49; Richard Moll 67 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Take the road less traveled this year if you want to come out ahead of the game. There is money to be made if you aren’t too rigid or stuck in your ways. Problems with institutions, government agencies or large corporations will be troublesome. Approach each situation with honesty and you should be able to sway anyone who is opposing you. Your numbers are 4, 14, 21, 23, 29, 38, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t jump into anything too fast. You need time to digest what’s going on around you. Making a move that is not in your best interest will jeopardize your chance to get ahead professionally and personally. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can’t back down now when there is so much to gain by taking action. Travel, learning and professional advancement will all play a role in your future. Don’t trust anyone else to take care of your business. ★★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Learn whatever you can from the people traveling down a path similar to yours. Sharing your findings will enable you to grow in directions that aren’t possible on your own. By working hard and cutting your costs, you will end up in a good position. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t let opposition be your downfall. Instead, welcome what’s being said and use the information to better serve yourself and your ideas. You can make amends for anything you have done to upset someone you care for. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You must put all your efforts into getting along with the people you deal and work with. Don’t let a minor health problem turn into something much worse by neglecting proper care. An old responsibility will not be easy to walk away from. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Change is good, especially if you initiate it. A romantic encounter will help to stabilize your current personal situation, allowing you to know without a doubt the direction you want to take in the future. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t count on anyone or anything. Do the work yourself if you want something done properly. Nothing will go according to plan and problems with loved ones will leave you feeling down. Explore new possibilities. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can make some very interesting moves if you communicate with people headed in the same direction as you.

Dealing with publishing, media or any other form of communication will work in your favor. Push, present and promote what you do best. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Industrious action will be required if you want to turn a talent or service you have into something that everyone wants. Pull out every means available to you in order to hold on to what you’ve worked so hard to achieve. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The only one standing in your way is you. Lift any restrictions or limitations you are harboring and get to the point. You have a lot to offer if you take old ideas and mix them with your new and progressive tactics. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Not everyone will be upfront with you. Someone may even try to take advantage of you. Surround yourself with people who can offer suggestions and teach you new skills. The more you do for others, the better equipped you will be for your own purposes. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The more enterprising you are, the better you can deal with groups and getting your ideas or plans up and running. A partnership that is holding you back must be ended. ★★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

One of the free-spirited members of my club showed up for a teamof-four match wearing a sweatshirt bearing this message: “Out of my mind.

Back in 10 minutes.” Unfortunately, he was still away while trying to play today’s four spades.

West took two high clubs and continued with the eight. South ruffed East’s ten, cashed the K-A of diamonds and ruffed a diamond with dummy’s six of trumps. East happily overruffed with his ten and led a trump, removing dummy’s ace. Then South’s last diamond was a loser, and he went down.

EIGHT MINUTES Deals take an average of eight minutes to play.

(In tournaments, about an hour is allotted for an eight-deal match.) If South had taken two minutes longer, he might not have lost his mind – and his contract with it.

South should carefully ruff the third diamond with the ace of trumps.

He takes the ace of hearts, ruffs a heart high and ruffs his last diamond with the six. East can overruff with the ten, but South takes the rest with high trumps.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S None H Q 10 8 6 D Q 9 8 5 4 C A K J 8. You open one diamond, your partner responds one spade, you bid two clubs and he jumps to three spades. What do you say?

ANSWER: Your opening bid, with no spade length and a poor long suit, was borderline. Partner’s jump is invitational to game, not forcing.

Since your hand couldn’t be worse, pass. Don’t bid 3NT; lacking transportation, you’d have trouble setting up and cashing spade tricks.

North 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.

WHO’S NEWS

---

In his own view, Charles Woodson put together his best pro season in 2009. How appropriate, then, that he is The Associated Press 2009 NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

The versatile Woodson tied for the league lead with nine interceptions, returning three for touchdowns, and was a key to the Packers’ turnaround on defense. His role in Green Bay’s ranking second in overall defense, first in interceptions (30), takeaways (40) and turnover margin (plus-24) earned Woodson 28 votes Tuesday from a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the NFL. “It’s a great honor,” Woodson said.

He doubled the number of votes for New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis in becoming the first Green Bay winner since Reggie White in 1998 and just the second Packer in the 36-year history of the award. Woodson, the 1997 Heisman Trophy recipient, is the first cornerback chosen top defensive player since Deion Sanders in 1994.

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – Senior guard Ishmael Smith came through like a veteran when it mattered most Tuesday night.

After calmly dribbling off clock near midcourt in the closing ticks of overtime, Smith then drove into the lane and canned a floater with 18 seconds that proved to be the game winner as Wake Forest edged Maryland 8583 at Joel Coliseum.

Maryland took a crack at the basket in the last 10 seconds but came up short when Greivis Vasquez and Sean Mosley missed as Wake improved to 12-3 and 2-1 in the ACC. Maryland drops to 10-5, 1-1.

Overtime was forced when Al-Farouq Aminu hit two of three free throws with 29.3 seconds left to play, and Maryland was unable to convert with time running out.

Vasquez gave the Terps their final lead at 78-76 by hitting the first basket of the overtime. Aminu hit two free throws to tie it. Ari Stewart then converted consecutive jumpers (his only buckets of the game) to put Wake up 82-78. Maryland fought back, forcing an 83-83 tie when Jordan Williams tipped in a Vasquez miss with 50 seconds left.

Aminu led the Deacs with 24 points and 13 rebounds. C.J. Harris had 18 and Smith 16 after hitting 8 of 23 attempts.

Vasquez led Maryland with 30. Williams had 12, Landon Milborne 11 and Adrian Bowie 10.

Wake led by as many as eight in the second half, at 58-50 with 11:52 left to play, on the strength of its big men.

Chas McFarland, who started the second half after being out of the lineup at the beginning of the game, scored six of Wake’s first eight points after intermission.

Tony Woods’ dunk, a layup by Ish Smith and a layup by Aminu off a deflection completed the burst. Maryland slowly whittled the margin, finally tying the score at 68 on a 3-pointer by Vasqez with 2:55 left in regulation and then going ahead for the first time in the half on Landon Milborne’s trey with 2:10 to go in regulation.

Despite a slow start, Wake carved out a 4239 lead at the half. Hitting just 6 of their first 17 shots while also being careless with the ball, the Deacons trailed 23-15 with 8:27 left in the first half – at the end of a five-minute stretch in which they scored four points.

Wake then caught fire, going on a 15-4 run that began with consecutive 3-point plays by Gary Clark and Aminu. Sophomore forward Aminu capped the burst with a 3-pointer and an alley-oop dunk off a feed from Ish Smith.

The Deacons hit 6 of 10 shots during the streak.

Wake’s lead grew to as many as five on two occasions thanks to a bucket and consecutive treys by freshman guard C.J. Harris.

Harris finished the half with 13 points.

Wood, Wolfpack chop up FSU TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – Scott Wood scored a career-high 31 points to lead N.C. State to an 88-81 upset of No. 25 Florida State on Tuesday night, spoiling the Atlantic Coast Conference home opener for the Seminoles.

The Wolfpack (12-5, 1-2 ACC) hit 11 of 23 3-pointers with Wood connecting on 7 of 11 attempts from behind the arc. Farnold Degand added 13 points and Julius Mays 12, including 10 straight free throws for the winners.

N.C. State rode an early 16-1 run to take a 23-12 lead as Florida State went 6:33 between field goals. The Wolfpack never trailed afterward.

Chris Singleton scored a careerhigh 22 points and Solomon Alabi

added 15 for Florida State (13-4 1-2) which lost its second league game in three days.

The Wolfpack looks to make it two straight conference victories when Clemson visits Raleigh on Saturday at noon.

HIT AND RUN

N

orth Carolina’s amazing homecourt winning streak over Clemson is the stuff of legend.

The Tar Heels own a 54-0 record against the Tigers in Chapel Hill.

But Carolina also sports a pretty impressive mark against the Tigers in Clemson.

The Heels stand 35-15 all-time in Clemson, including a 26-12 mark at Littlejohn Colise-

88 81

um, the site of tonight’s meeting (9 p.m., ESPN).

UNC carries a 10-game winning streak overall against Clemson into this key early ACC test. I think the Tar Heels will be hardpressed to extend that streak to 11.

The Tigers (13-3, 1-1 ACC) showcase a big, physical lineup sparked by Trevor Booker and enough speed in the backcourt to give the Tar Heels (12-4, 1-0) fits.

Carolina answers with tons of frontcourt

firepower of its own, led by Ed Davis, Deon Thompson and Tyler Zeller.

The outcome could rest with the play of UNC point guard Larry Drew II. When he performs well, the Tar Heels click. When he struggles, the offense tends to sputter.

We should know much more about the Tar Heels and the Tigers after this clash.

Carroll: Seahawks ‘have embraced my approach’

AP

Houston’s Shane Battier (left) drives as Charlotte’s Gerald Wallace defends during Tuesday night’s game in Charlotte.

Jackson scores 43 to spark Bobcats CHARLOTTE (AP) – Stephen Jackson scored 16 of his career-high 43 points in the fourth quarter and the Charlotte Bobcats clamped down on defense after halftime to rally past the Houston Rockets, 102-94 on Tuesday night.

Surpassing his previous best scoring night of 42 set nearly six years ago with Indiana, Jackson shot 15 of 22 shots and made 10-of-11 free throws while adding eight rebounds.

Making up for a subpar night from Gerald Wallace, Jackson keyed Charlotte’s comeback from a 13-point, second-quarter deficit.

Boris Diaw added 19 points and seven rebounds, including the clinching threepoint play with 50 seconds left.

Trevor Ariza scored 19 points and Luis Scola added 18 points and 14 rebounds for the Rockets, who had won seven straight against Charlotte.

Dwyer scores late to lift Hurricanes TORONTO (AP) – Patrick Dwyer scored with less than five minutes left to give the Carolina Hurricanes a 4-2 win over Toronto on Tuesday night.

Eric Staal, Brandon Sutter and Ray Whitney also scored for Carolina, which won on the road for the fourth time in 22 games. Lee Stempniak and Nikolai

Kulemin scored for Toronto, which has lost four straight.

The Maple Leafs created far more scoring chances than Carolina in the matchup of two of the NHL’s worst teams.

Toronto fired 15 shots at goalie Cam Ward in the third period, but Dwyer scored at 15:34 for Carolina.

Kiffin leaves Tennessee, returns to USC THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Lane Kiffin is returning to Southern California as the Trojans’ coach after just one season at Tennessee.

Kiffin was chosen Tuesday to replace Pete Carroll, his mentor and employer for six seasons.

Kiffin was the Trojans’ offensive coordinator before his brief stints with the Oakland Raiders and the Volunteers.

His father, respected defensive coach Monte Kiffin, and longtime USC assistant Ed Orgeron also will leave Tennessee to join him, USC said in a statement.

The Trojans needed just one day to fill one of the most desirable jobs in college football.

Carroll formally took over the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday after winning 97 games over the past nine years.

The 34-year-old Kiffin is one of Carroll’s top disciples from his nine-year tenure at USC. Kiffin, a former Fresno State quarterback, worked his way up to offensive coordinator in 2005.

Kiffin went 7-6 at Tennessee last season as the youngest head coach in the Football Bowl Subdivision, but he also brought an unwelcome spotlight on the Vols with several minor NCAA violations.

RENTON, Wash. (AP) – Pete Carroll took over as the new coach and executive vice president of the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday with an authority that he said mirrors the latitude Southern California gave him to restore its dynasty.

“They have embraced my approach ... in a manner in which they want to wipe the path clear and give me the clearest opportunity to bring everything that I have to offer. That’s really what I was looking for, the trust and belief from the top of the organization,” Carroll said a day after his public farewell from USC. “They don’t have an agenda of how they want their football played. They want me to do that. That’s exactly and precisely what I was looking for.”

Carroll was breathless while describing how he snared the exact opportunity he’s always wanted in the NFL – but never thought he’d get after New England fired him following three seasons as coach through 1999.

“I am so fired up to be here today.

Right from the beginning, they undersold. This is a tremendous place to come to work,” Carroll said moments after Seahawks CEO Tod Leiweke led him on a tour of the Seahawks’ luxurious headquarters for the first time.

Absorbing the scene and what the riches of Seahawks owner Paul Allen are affording him, Carroll said: “It’s really almost dreamlike for me.”

The coach who went 97-19 with two national championships and seven consecutive Pac-10 titles while at USC wore a dark blue suit and paisley tie patterned in Seahawks green and blue.

The look was new. The Seahawks promise his role will be familiar.

“As guys get other jobs around the league, there isn’t always that level of trust and communication from the top down, and there isn’t always that willingness to let you do exactly what you feel and how you should do it. That’s what I’ve been given here – and I can’t tell you how excited I am about that,” Carroll said.

Panthers extend training camp deal with Wofford CHARLOTTE (AP) – The Carolina Panthers have agreed to a new deal that will keep training camp at Wofford College in Spartanburg, S.C., for at least another five years.

The Panthers have trained at the alma mater of owner Jerry Richardson since they

entered the NFL in 1995.

The original 15-year deal expired at the end of the 2009 camp.

The Panthers have bucked the trend to move training camp to their own facility. Coach John Fox has said he enjoys having the team go away, but not be too far

from Charlotte. Spartanburg is about a 90-minute drive, allowing for quick trips to treat injured players.

The deal announced on Tuesday was completed by new Panthers president Danny Morrison, who was once athletic director at Wofford.

Five players leave UNC program

BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

CHAPEL HILL – Five players have left the North Carolina football program and four freshmen have enrolled early, a team spokesman confirmed Tuesday.

Running back Jamal Womble, linebacker Hawatha Bell, tight end Vince Jacobs, wide receiver Rashad Mason and tight end Randy White will not return for the 2010 season.

However, freshmen offensive linemen James Hurst, a five-star recruit from Plainfield, Ind., and Terrence Leifheit, a four-star recruit from Wilmington, along with tight end Sean Fitzpatrick from Pittsford, N.Y., and cornerback D.J. Bunn, who transferred from Hargrave Military Academy, all have enrolled for UNC’s spring semester.

Womble, a redshirt freshman, cited academic problems on his Facebook page and said he will transfer to a junior college.

Womble had six carries for 41 yards in three games this season before breaking his right wrist against Georgia Southern.

Bell, a freshman, was suspended for the Meineke Car Care Bowl on Dec. 26 for violating team rules and ultimately dismissed from the team.

Jacobs decided to forego his final year of eligibility and will graduate in May. Mason, a sophomore, decided to transfer after being suspended indefinitely earlier in the season for violating team rules, and redshirt freshman White quit the team and is leaving UNC. Bell, Jacobs, Mason and White had no statistics for the 2009 season.

Del Rio opts to stay in Jacksonville Appalachian State to visit Florida in 2010 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) – After conducting his most extensive review in 15 years, Jacksonville Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver decided to stick with coach Jack Del Rio. At least for another year. Weaver held a half-day meeting with Del Rio on Tuesday, then said the two would continue their rebuilding project with the Jaguars.

“I believe in Jack, that’s he’s the guy,” Weaver said two days before his 75th birthday. “After going through this

process, Jack is the guy that can get us there. The fans have to have enough trust in me to believe that I’m making the right decision for the franchise.”

The announcement came amid reports that Del Rio was a candidate to succeed Pete Carroll at Southern California.

Carroll left USC to become the Seattle Seahawks coach. The L.A. Daily News reported Monday that Del Rio, an AllAmerican linebacker for the Trojans in 1984, had been sent a contract to sign.

Piquet Jr. says he’s switching to NASCAR MADRID (AP) – Former Renault Formula One driver Nelson Piquet Jr., who last year triggered a scandal by revealing he deliberately crashed his car to help a teammate, is moving to NASCAR in 2010.

Piquet Jr. said Tuesday on his Web site that his “first 18 months in F1 did not go as planned.

I have decided to focus on something different and have chosen to take a route in America.”

Piquet Jr. hasn’t raced since being fired by Renault in August after 28 races in which his best finish was second at the 2008 German GP. He did not reveal which team he would race for but says more details will come soon.

The 24-year-old Bra-

zilian driver, the son of three-time F1 champion Nelson Piquet, admitted crashing his car at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix on team orders to help Fernando Alonso win the race.

He retired from 11 races and constantly accused the French team of favoring teammate Alonso.

“I have spent the last few months carefully evaluating my options for this year,” Piquet Jr. said on his Web page. “NASCAR is hugely challenging and nobody has ever come in as an outsider before and gone on to win it – it will be the ultimate challenge. This will be an awesome new challenge for me, and a healthy one.”

Astros, Myers finalize $5 million deal HOUSTON (AP) – Pitcher Brett Myers wanted to return to the Philadelphia Phillies. After eight seasons, it felt like home.

When they didn’t make an effort to re-sign him, the right-hander turned to the Houston Astros and finalized a one-year contract Tuesday that guarantees him $5.1 million.

The 29-year-old Myers became a free agent after spending his first eight seasons with the Phillies.

BOONE (AP) – Appalachian State football will close the 2010 regular season with a game at Florida. The school announced the 11-game schedule Tuesday that includes a matchup with the Gators on Nov. 20. The schools have never met.

The Mountaineers will open with a Southern Conference game for the first time in 19 years on Sept. 4 at Chattanooga.

That will be followed by a two-game homestand against Jacksonville and North Carolina Central and then the

school’s open date. Appalachian State’s homecoming game is Oct. 9 against rival Elon. The final home game is Nov. 13 against Wofford.

Appalachian State announced it will not raise ticket prices for home games.

Central Michigan picks Enos as new football coach MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. (AP) – Michigan State running backs coach Dan Enos has been picked as the new head coach at Central Michigan.

The university announced the choice Tuesday. The 41-year-old Enos has been the running backs coach at Michigan State during the past three seasons after coaching the quarterbacks in 2006. He played quarterback

at Michigan State from 1987-1990.

Enos succeeds former Chippewas head coach Butch Jones, who was hired in December as Cincinnati’s new coach. Jones replaced Brian Kelly, who came from Central Michigan three years ago and left for Notre Dame.

Central Michigan (12-2) finished the season ranked No. 23 after defeating Troy 44-41 in the GMAC Bowl.

Florida’s Wright leaves school for NFL draft GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) – Safety Major Wright is the latest Florida player to leave school early and enter the NFL draft.

Wright made his announcement Tuesday, becoming the fifth junior to leave the Gators in the last two weeks. Defensive end Carlos Dunlap,

cornerback Joe Haden, tight end Aaron Hernandez and center Maurkice Pouncey already declared their intentions to turn pro.

Ginyard looks to spark UNC

BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

CHAPEL HILL – North Carolina’s Marcus Ginyard has missed four games this season because of injuries, but whenever the fifth-year senior is on the court, he provides Coach Roy Williams with a security blanket.

“You’ve got one guy who knows exactly what he’s supposed to do defensively and has a great chance to do it the right way,” Williams said. “I think if we can get him healthy and keep him healthy, it’s going to be a huge, huge bonus for our team.”

And the benefit of having Ginyard on the court could pay off tonight

when the Tar Heels play their first ACC road game at No. 24 Clemson (9 p.m., ESPN). UNC, which boasts five freshmen, is 1-4 away from the Smith Center, which has not escaped the players’ notice.

“I want to win no matter what we do, no matter where we go,” point guard Larry Drew II said. “The fact that we’re 1-4 on the road going into ACC play is a little alarming.”

The Tar Heels’ most recent road loss was in overtime at the College of Charleston on Jan 4., and it was the third straight game Ginyard had missed with a sprained right ankle.

At the end of the game, the young Tar Heels (12-4, 1-0) made some mistakes that Williams blamed partial-

ly on inexperience and coaching.

If Ginyard had been playing – as well as junior Will Graves, who was out with an ankle sprain – there’s no way to know if the Charleston game would have had a different outcome. But there’s also no argument among the Tar Heels that they would have felt more comfortable with the more experienced players on the court in a tight game.

UNC has won 10 consecutive games against the Tigers (13-3, 1-1), but on the Heels’ most recent trip to Littlejohn Coliseum on Jan. 6, 2008, they needed a 3-pointer from Wayne Ellington with 0.4 seconds remaining in overtime to pull out the victory.

Wesleyan gets sweep at Cannon AP

Mason Plumlee and his Duke teammates hope to have the right stuff tonight against Boston College at Cameron Indoor Stadium (7 p.m., ESPN).

Duke’s Mason Plumlee rounds into form

BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

DURHAM – Midway through the second half of Duke’s victory over Iowa State a week ago, freshman Mason Plumlee soared off the floor in pursuit of a lob pass only to come down to Earth after his attempt at a one-handed dunk banged off the rim.

On Duke’s next possession, with Plumlee watching from the bench and his older brother back in the game, Miles Plumlee received a similar lob and went up strong for a two-handed dunk.

“Coach was just like, ‘In a close game, that’s huge. You just can’t afford that. You’ve got to go for everything with two hands,’” Mason Plumlee said. “I’m going to become a two-handed dunker really quick.”

In some ways, it was a case of big brother showing little brother the ropes, though Mason Plumlee didn’t really need a sibling on the squad to learn a lesson.

Every freshman must endure some form of a learning curve, and McDonald’s All-Americans are no exception. Still, as the No. 8 Blue Devils continue conference play with tonight’s home game against Boston College (7 p.m., ESPN), Plumlee appears to be straightening things out since a wrist injury put a serious speed bump in his path.

“He’s a freshman, and there’s just a progression that freshmen need to take, but his is a fast one because he gets it

and he’s good,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “He’s really taken a step forward in every game he’s played since coming back from the wrist injury.

“I think what we’re seeing now is what we would have seen before Christmas if he hadn’t been hurt, and then we probably would be seeing something a little bit different now if he hadn’t been knocked back by that injury.”

Plumlee, projected as a starter heading into the season, spent the first six games on the sidelines with a broken bone in his left wrist.

He totaled 14 points and 10 rebounds in his first five games, but he has 38 points and 22 rebounds over the past four.

Miles Plumlee, still in the starting lineup while his brother continues to come off the bench, also has enjoyed a recent spike, scoring 28 points and grabbing 25 rebounds over Duke’s past four games.

In Saturday’s loss at Georgia Tech, the Plumlees combined to score 18 points on 9-of-10 shooting with 11 rebounds against some of the best big men around.

“These guys are good, and they’re both developing players,” Krzyzewski said. “Both of them are going to be excellent players.”

The Blue Devils (13-2, 1-1 ACC) face a BC (10-6, 1-1) squad that lost undisputed leader Tyrese Rice from its 2009 NCAA Tournament team, but has the other four starters back along with every key reserve.

Clark said. “In the first half, we played well. In the third quarter, I think our own frustration got a hold of us.”

Isaiah Williams, Cord Fordham and Devante Hunter all had 10 points for Thomasville (3-6, 1-1), but the trio struggled defensively in the second half and lost a large measure of composure in the final two quarters. A technical and several personal fouls helped East pile on the points.

Following a 10-minute stretch where it scored in bunches, East was able to take the air out of the ball in executing its four cornersstyle offense to perfection to preserve the double-digit lead.

BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

THOMASVILLE – Twenty-four minutes of Thomasville’s game at East Davidson Tuesday night saw the Bulldogs match the Golden Eagles nearly stride-for-stride.

A one-point contest at the end of the third quarter, East’s veteran backcourt – led by Haley Grimsley, Candace Fox and Stacy Hicks – transformed the game into a 16point rout as East rolled 57-41.

“The score is definitely not indicative of how the game went,” East Davidson coach Brian Eddinger said. “There at the end, we started limiting them to one shot. Once we started boxing them out, that kind

of shifted the momentum a bit.”

Grimsley led all scorers with 25 points and backcourt partner Fox scored 14, dished eight assists and nabbed four steals. Hicks proved a valuable commodity on the defensive end, as she grabbed nine rebounds and blocked two shots in addition to her customary role as yet another playmaker.

Fox proved to be the biggest thorn in the flesh of the Bulldog defense by attacking off the dribble and creating for teammates. She was able to penetrate at will to establish the tempo for East (13-2, 2-0) and secure a 28-24 lead at the half.

The Bulldogs began the second half on the offensive, negating the four-point halftime deficit with a 3-

pointer from Christina Carter, who finished with 12 points, followed by a steal and layup by Jo Jo Davis.

Thomasville (3-3, 1-1) scored just six more points in the quarter against an aggressive Eagles’ defense, but trailed by just one entering the final frame.

In the fourth quarter, Thomasville became susceptible to the press. Chasity McCurdy paced the Bulldogs with 13 points, but had difficulty handling the pressure from Grimsley, Fox and Hicks. The team issued 10 turnovers in the second half.

“For three quarters, we played with them,” Bulldogs coach Lecardo Means said. “We’re very young, so I think they have to learn how to react at certain times like tonight.”

Pessimism drags stocks lower

PERCENT RETURN YTD 1YR 3YR* 5YR*

* — Annualized

NEW YORK (AP) – Investors are suffering another bout of pessimism about the strength of the global economic recovery and the health of U.S. banks.

Stocks fell sharply Tuesday, sending the Standard & Poor’s 500 index down nearly 1 percent. Demand for the safety of Treasurys sent bond prices higher and interest rates lower, tightening the market barometer known as the yield curve.

A disappointing profit report from Alcoa Inc. and moves by China to curtail growth raised questions about whether a 10-month surge in stocks can be sustained. At the same time, financial stocks slid on concerns the government would impose taxes on bailed out banks.

Alcoa slid 11 percent after its earnings and revenue fell short of expectations. The aluminum producer is usually the first big U.S. company to

report quarterly results, and investors look to its numbers for an early read on overall corporate earnings.

Alcoa’s report, which blamed weakness in aerospace, construction and gas turbines for the miss, weighed on energy and industrial stocks. The slide comes after Chevron Corp. warned late Monday that it expects thin profit margins will hurt its earnings.

Concerns about the prospects for Alcoa and other companies that produce raw materials rose after China again tightened its monetary policy and raised the amount of money that banks must hold in reserve. The moves are aimed at keeping growth in the country from charging ahead too fast, but could also slow the pace of recovery in other countries and hurt companies that sell resources to the world’s most populous nation.

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – So much has been made about the mix between distress and recovery in the housing market.

Are home prices stabilizing? Are sales steadily improving? Are foreclosures hampering the market?

For High Point Bank & Trust President Charles Myers, all the factors being debated in the housing market come back to one critical point – uncertainty. Potential homebuyers, lenders and loan underwriters remain unconvinced about the true direction of the economy and job market, which can lead to hesitancy.

“There’s so much uncertainty today, both from an economic standpoint and a political perspective. People have reacted by becoming more conservative in their spending,” Myers said.

And after the housing industry collapse that helped prompt the HOMEBUYER recession, banks and TAX CREDIT other lenders have What you reassessed should know their prac■■■ tices and tightened standards in the wake of subprime and other gimmicky loans that contributed to the crisis.

Based on High Point Bank’s underwriting of traditional mortgages, Myers said demand from prospective homebuyers for loans is up as 2010 begins. The homebuyer tax credit, approved by Congress a year ago and extended into the first part of this year, is helping spur interest in home purchases.

“The problem is that we have to underwrite to the standards of the primary lenders. And the standards in underwriting have tightened. You’re seeing lower appraisals coming in on properties. Couple that

with the tighter qualifying requirements. That means some people are able to get the mortgages they had hoped for,” Myers said.

Bank of North Carolina officials see an opportunity for buyers to take advantage of the current market to purchase homes, said Chief Executive Officer Swope Montgomery.

“You can purchase at a good entry point. We’re still willing to lend to people in this environment that have good credit and the wherewithal to make a downpayment,” Montgomery said.

One critical factor that has limited lending and homebuying is the level of unemployment and unsure job market, Myers and Montgomery said.

Jobless rates in High Point have hovered around 11 percent through most of 2009.

One outcome of the stagnant job market is increasing foreclosures.

Foreclosure rates in Greensboro-High Point increased during October from the same period last year, according to First American CoreLogic. The

Foreclosure activity in Greensboro-High Point is lower than the national foreclosure rate of 3.02 percent for October.

“I think employment is one of the key underpinnings of coming out of this economic cycle. When people have jobs, they have income. Obviously unemployment has had an effect

on foreclosures. If people are out of work, they can’t service their debts,” Myers said.

Even if someone has a job, the uncertainty with the economy and job market makes people less likely to either buy a home or place their house on the market to move up to a new home, Myers said.

Montgomery hopes that on the job market front, “we’re at the bottom, and the only way we’ve got to go is up.” pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Oil falls as cold eases grip on US

NEW YORK (AP) — Crude prices fell Tuesday as a global cold spell eased its grip, weakening demand for crude that had hit a 15month high.

By midmorning, benchmark crude for February delivery fell $1.02 to $81.50 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. On Monday, a weakening U.S. dollar helped push oil to nearly $84 a barrel before falling 23 cents to close at $82.52.

China takes new steps to curb lending BEIJING (AP) — China took new steps Tuesday to control bank lending, ordering institutions to set aside more reserves in a move to avert a surge in credit that Beijing worries might fuel inflation or asset price bubbles.

China’s nascent rebound from the global crisis was fueled by a flood of lending by state-owned banks last year.

Obama considers levy for rescued firms WASHINGTON (AP) – Targeting an industry whose political deafness has vexed his administration, President Barack Obama is weighing a levy aimed at recovering tax dollars from government-rescued financial institutions.

The proposed levy could put Obama on the popular side of public opinion that is decidedly against Wall Street and angry over shortfalls in a $700 billion bank bailout fund.

A senior administration official said Monday that Obama would seek modifications to the law that sent billions in bailout money in 2008 and 2009 to a flail-

ing Wall Street that was approaching collapse.

The government official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the president’s thinking.

The idea received an early boost from Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the top Democrat in the House, where there have been calls for a hefty tax on bank bonuses.

“While we have not seen any specific language from the administration, Congress will certainly examine any serious proposals to lower the deficit and recoup even more of the TARP funds for the taxpayers,” said Nadeam Elshami, a spokesman for Pelosi, DCalif.

FDIC seeks comment on executive pay WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal banking regulators moved Tuesday to seek public input on a plan to link the insurance premiums levied on U.S. banks to the degree of risk-taking encouraged by their executive pay policies.

A divided board of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. voted to make public a preliminary proposal for using executive compensation as a factor in assessing the fees that banks must pay for the deposit insurance fund. The plan could involve both

rewards and penalties for banks.

“This is something we cannot ignore,” FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair said.

But two heads of Treasury Department agencies, who also sit on the five-member board, voted against floating the proposal.

John Dugan, director of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and John Bowman, acting director of the Office of Thrift Supervision, said it would be premature because Congress and the Federal Reserve were addressing the bank compensation issue.

US trade deficit leaps in November

FILE | AP

Saab automobiles are shown with signs during a gathering of owners and enthusiasts near General Motors Corp. headquarters in Detroit on Jan. 5.

Saab decision could come by February DETROIT (AP) – The final decision on whether Swedish automaker Saab will live or die is likely to come later this month or in February, General Motors Co.’s top European executive said Tuesday.

But GM Europe President Nick Reilly said the longer the troubled brand lingers without being sold, the less likely a sale will be.

In another indication of

DILBERT

Saab’s bleak outlook, GM also said Tuesday that two executives have been named to oversee the brand’s wind-down. The executives, Stephen Taylor and Peter Torngren, replace Saab’s CEO and board of directors and will be in charge of liquidating the brand, GM said.

GM started closing Saab operations last week but still is in talks with two possible suitors, despite

Tuesday’s appointments.

CEO Ed Whitacre Jr. said last week that he was not optimistic Saab could be saved.

Reilly also told reporters at the Detroit auto show Tuesday that he expects to finish restructuring GM’s Opel operations this month. He says changes that combine GM Europe and Opel management will be announced Friday or Monday.

WASHINGTON – The U.S. trade deficit jumped to the highest level in 10 months as an improving U.S. economy pushed up demand for imports.

However, exports rose as well, boosted by a weaker dollar, supporting the view that American manufacturers will be helped by a rebounding global economy.

The Commerce Department reported Tuesday that the trade deficit jumped 9.7 percent to $36.4 billion in November, a bigger imbalance than the $34.5 billion deficit economists had forecast.

Fed posts record profits for 2009 WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve generated record profits last year, reflecting money made off its extraordinary efforts to rescue the U.S. from the worst economic and financial crisis since the 1930s.

The central bank announced Tuesday it logged a record windfall of $52.1 billion. Of that total, a record of $46.1 billion gets turned over to the Treasury Department.

It marks both the biggest profit and payment to Treasury on records dating back to 1914, when the Fed began operating. The previous record payment turned over to the Treasury – of $34.6 billion – was registered in 2007. In 2008, the Fed reported a payment of $31.7 billion.
