COLD COMPLICATIONS City asks customers to conserve as water main breaks tap sources BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The city of High Point is asking its customers to conserve their water usage as prolonged cold temperatures continue to put a strain on water lines, treatment and distribution. Breaks in main water lines

have increased since mid-December, according to Chris Thompson, public services director for the city. The breaks require more water to be treated to compensate for the loss, but the purification process also has been impacted by the cold weather, he said. “The extremely cold temperatures make it more difficult to get

the turbidity out of the water,” he said, noting that turbidity has a cloudiness or haziness appearance in water but is not a health hazard. “The colder it gets, the harder it gets for the (purification) blending process to take place.” A violation of drinking water standards occurred at the Ward Water Treatment Plant due to the

turbidity, but that water did not enter the water distribution system, according to a statement from the city. Water customers will receive a notice from the city, however, to notify them of the violation and that corrections are being made. Thompson said the problem

OPTING OUT: School board OKs Title I alternate list. 1B

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GREENSBORO – The combination of high unemployment reducing the number of commuters to work and moderate levels of gas prices in 2009 may have contributed to the first annual decline in bus passenger traffic since the Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation started serving riders in 2002. Total PART Express bus ridership declined 2 percent from 465,284 in 2008 to 453,583 last year. The PART board of trustees digested the ridership numbers during its monthly meeting Wednesday in Greensboro. PART Executive Director Brent McKinney told the board he’s not disappointed in the slight decline for 2009. In an interview following the meeting, McKinney acknowledged the recession and gas prices affected overall PART Express ridership. The eight counties in the Piedmont served by PART Express suffered with unemployment rates that were at or above 10 percent for much of the year. Higher unemployment means fewer people

The vast majority of PART passengers are commuters to work, students going to college classes and patients traveling to medical centers or doctor’s offices. Gas prices, which have increased during the first part of this year, moderated during 2009. In past years, higher gas prices have prompted commuters to switch to bus service, especially following

the price spike with Hurricane Katrina in the summer and fall of 2005. Fuel prices at the beginning of last year hovered around $2 a gallon, and for the year gas prices averaged $2.46 a gallon, McKinney said. During the board meeting, trustee Larry Williams, mayor of Rural Hall in Forsyth County, said the PART staff has done a good job marketing the service. “But a lot of people still don’t know what PART is,” Williams said.

Officers did not investigate principal’s alleged assault BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue speaks to business leaders Wednesday at the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce about the upcoming year.

Perdue hopes to move beyond budget woes in 2010 CHARLOTTE (AP) – Setting her sights beyond fixing the state’s fiscal troubles, Gov. Beverly Perdue said Wednesday she would focus her energies in 2010 on job creation, student preparedness and ethics and efficiency in government. Perdue, forced to spend her first year as

governor combating a $3 billion budget shortfall, gave what were billed as two major policy addresses aimed at positioning the state as the economy recovers. “Now that we can stand back and breathe a little easier, it’s so important that we come together and focus on the future,” Perdue

told business and government leaders at the Charlotte Chamber. “We can emerge from this recession much smarter, much leaner and really, literally, poised to take on the world.” Perdue said she would ask the Legislature when it reconvenes in May to give tax breaks to small businesses that

are “born in North Carolina, that create jobs in North Carolina and stay in North Carolina.” She also rolled out a Department of Commerce pilot program – called “Biz Boost” – designed to help small businesses stay afloat by helping them apply for credit, manage cash and reduce expenses.

Energy plan includes High Point buildings BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – A High Point project is included in an energysavings plan county officials could approve tonight. The courthouse, jail and public health department offices in downtown High Point are on the list for energy-saving renovations. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners will meet at 5:30 p.m. tonight in the Old County Courthouse to consider the plan. County officials will review suggestions from engineers at N.C. A&T’s Center for Research and Technology, which has been working with county officials for months on ways to save energy in the county’s 30 buildings.

The plan aims at cutting energy use by 20 percent by 2015 and 30 percent by 2020 per gross square foot of building space. The plan includes at least one solar project by 2012. Recycling would increase by 100 percent by 2012. Many of the projects could be funded by a possible $200,000 state grant county officials are exploring. A preliminary audit released earlier this year showed the county could save 50 percent on the annual electric light bill just by using more efficient lighting. Other savings could come from installing sensor switches to turn off lighting in empty rooms and new controls for boilers and air conditioning fans. The CERT audits start with

baseline energy use information that scientists roll into a computer program. Engineers first looked at the Bellemeade Center, used by the county’s mental health agency, in Greensboro and suggested adding the BB&T Center in downtown Greensboro and the High Point projects to the list. The Bellemeade Center could save $31,000 a year on lighting and heat and air conditioning with $72,000 in upgrades, according to preliminary figures offered last April. County leaders could either contract directly for renovations or hire a company to install energysaving equipment. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Man faces sexual assault charges BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A man faces sexual assault charges after an investigation by Davidson County authorities into an incident that occurred during a New Year’s gathering. Detectives began investigating Jan. 1 after receiving a report alleging that a 25-year-old woman was assaulted during a gathering at the home of

Henry Lee Phillips Jr. in Linwood, according to the sheriff’s office. Detectives alleged that Phillips committed sexual assaults against the woman between New Year’s Eve and the following day. Phillips, 27, was arrested Monday and charged with one count of second-degree forcible rape and two counts of second-degree forcible sex offense, according to the sheriff’s office. Phillips was jailed un-

der a $1 million bond and has an appearance scheduled for Feb. 1 in Davidson County District Court. In an unrelated case, the sheriff’s office charged a registered sex offender with being on the premises of a school without permission. Shawn Brandon Gibson, who is on the state sex offender registry and on probation, allegedly visited the South Davidson High School campus

without authorization from school administrators, deputies said. Gibson, 22, of Thomasville, was charged with one count of being a registered sex offender on child premises, which is a felony, authorities said. He is on probation after being convicted of second-degree kidnapping of a minor in July 2008. He was jailed under a $5,000 bond. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Scammer sends $4,000 check to police RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) – Not even the police are immune from those offers of free money from African countries that are really scams. Richland police could use another $4,000, but the department wasn’t

tempted by the cashier’s check it received Friday in the mail from the country of Benin. Officer Erica Tungesvik says officers immediately recognized it as a bogus attempt to learn bank account informa-

tion if the check were deposited. An officer wrote up a report on the incident and Tungesvik says it serves as a reminder that if the police can be the target of such a scam, anyone can.

THOMASVILLE – The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office and Thomasville Police Department did not have a part in investigating the charge of assault and battery against Liberty Drive Elementary Principal Benjie Brown, both agencies said Wednesday. Earlier this month, Brown, 39, of Thomasville, turned himself into the Thomasville Police Department after an arrest warrant had been issued against him, alleging he had assaulted Kevin Luke Starrett, of High Point, by striking him with his fist several times in the head. Starrett, who filed the complaint Jan. 2 in Randolph County, is a physical education teacher at Thomasville Middle School. The state of North Carolina allows residents to file complaints through magistrates who in return can issue arrest warrants, which happened in Brown’s arrest, said Jeff Insley, Thomasville’s chief of police. “From what I’m gathering ...

He said customers will receive a notice when water treatment operations are back to normal, but for now customers are being asked to conserve their water usage for the next month. The city said in the statement it also would reduce its water usage during that time. The complications caused by the cold weather are aggravated by an increased usage in water. City water customers have used 1 to 2 million gallons a day more this year than last year,

it was forwarded over here to serve,” Insley said. “I think it was just that (Starrett) took out a warrant because he got hit.” Starrett has hired Archdale attorney James Williams, who would not comment Wednesday on the allegation, to handle his case. State law allows for private prosecution of alleged offenses in District Court. Keith Tobin, superintendent of Thomasville City Schools, said the alleged incident happened over the holiday break in Randolph County. Tobin said Starrett and Brown remain employed with Thomasville City Schools, but would not say if either were on paid administrative leave. “It’s a personnel issue that I can’t comment on,” Tobin said. “We are doing an investigation, and we will decide what kind of disciplinary action to take if any or what we are going to do when it’s complete.” Brown, whose first appearance in Randolph County District Court is set for Feb. 2, could not be reached Wednesday for comment at his home or at Liberty Drive Elementary.

WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. officials are laying out a massive military response to the Haiti earthquake, saying that ships, helicopters, transport planes and a 2,000-member Marine unit are either on the way or likely to begin moving soon. Gen. Douglas Fraser, head of U.S. Southern Command, said Wednesday that one of the U.S. Navy’s large amphibious ships will likely head to Haiti with a Marine expeditionary unit aboard. Fraser said other U.S. military forces are on alert.

Afghan attacks leave 4 US troops dead KABUL (AP) – Four U.S. service members were killed Wednesday in separate attacks in Afghanistan, NATO said, underscoring the dangers facing Americans as President Barack Obama intensifies efforts to stabilize the country. The deaths raised to 14 the number of U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan so far this year, according to an Associated Press count. One American service member was killed in fighting with insurgents in eastern Afghanistan while the other died of wounds suffered in a roadside bombing in the south. NATO said the two other American troops died in a bomb blast, but disclosed no other information.

Israel apologizes to Turkey over insult JERUSALEM – Israel on Wednesday caved in to demands from Turkey and apologized over an insult to its ambassador, a government statement said, an attempt to defuse the latest crisis between the nations. On Monday, Israel’s deputy foreign minister, Danny Ayalon, summoned the Turkish ambassador to complain about a TV show. The ambassador was forced to sit on a low sofa without a handshake, while Ayalon explained to local TV stations that the humiliation was intentional. Outraged, Turkey threatened to recall the ambassador.

UN: Taliban cause civilian deaths to soar KABUL – Taliban suicide bombings and other attacks caused Afghan civilian deaths to soar last year to the highest annual level of the war, a U.N. report found Wednesday, while deaths attributed to allied troops dropped nearly 30 percent. Many Afghans now blame the violence on the Taliban rather than foreign forces. A decline in NATO killings of civilians has become a key U.S. goal for winning over the Afghan people.

NEW ORLEANS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Louisianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney general is suing building supply manufacturers and developers over imported Chinese drywall thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been blamed for corroding pipes and sickening people. James D. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buddyâ&#x20AC;? Caldwell said he filed a lawsuit in state court on Wednesday to help state and local governments recoup the cost of dealing with the drywall.

The scene marked the latest in a series of courtroom rants by Siddiqui, who has refused to work with her defense lawyers and lambasted the court since her case began last summer.

Obama is solidly a pro-abortion president Francis Schaeffer saw this day coming. The well-known philosopher and scholar speaking in 1982 at the Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church warned this country was founded on a Christian base with all its freedom for everybody. But we live today in a humanistic culture. During World War II, Hitler was alleged to have killed 6 million Jews in his Nazi concentration camps, and we are reminded quite often of this great human tragedy by the news media. But even a greater tragedy is happening right here in our own country – the killing of 50 million unborn children being aborted since 1973. We have elected the most pro-abortion president. He has called abortion a heart-wrenching decision and urged Americans to work together to reduce it, while a candidate for office. He promised support for planned parenthood and that the first thing he would do as president was to sign legislation which buries all federal and state restrictions on abortion (at least one promise he has kept). With a pro-abortion president and the Congress of “rubber stampers,” it’s almost impossible to overturn Rowe v. Wade in the foreseeable future.

Study relief for property taxpayers

teve Arnold, vice chairman of the Guilford County Board of Commissioners, has his heart in the right place. He wants to try to save taxpayers money. The High Point Republican is urging county leaders to avoid a property tax increase in a couple of years by delaying the planned 2012 revaluation of property for tax purposes to at least 2014. Because of the current recession, Arnold fears lowered property values would require commissioners to raise the county’s property tax rate just to keep revenues at current levels. And if the county needs additional funds for things such as repaying voter-approved bond issues, even higher tax rate increases would be required. Such a plan theoretically could save taxpayers a little money. But there are two problems with Arnold’s idea: It would provide only temporary relief, if any at all, and then when new property values would take effect after a 2014 revaluation, the jump in values from the previous 2004 revaluation would be shocking. A better short-term solution for saving taxpayers money during tight financial times and revenue shortfalls would be for commissioners to tighten county government expenses across the board. They also should set priorities for budget expenditures and delay spending where possible. As for the long-term, commissioners surely should consider shortening the period between revaluation to four, possibly five, years. That would allow property to be taxed at a more accurate current assessment of market value than does revaluation only every eight years. And commissioners should look seriously at the idea of generating more tax revenues from sales taxes instead of property taxes. Taxation policies that place a significant tax burden on property have a negative impact on economic investment. Appreciate Arnold, and others, for trying to figure out short-term ways to save taxpayers money during these tight times. But focusing on long-term solutions should be even more appreciated.

Despite the brouhaha, Reid actually was right

omebody please tell Harry Reid there are no Negroes in America. There haven’t been since the late 1960s, which is when black people arrived and drove that term out of favor. The person who uses it without irony, as Reid did, paints himself as a geezer out of touch with the last 40 years, the kind of person who still calls rock music a fad. That said, there is little else to complain about in the quote from the Senate majority leader that has political types hyperventilating. Said quote is from “Game Change,” the new book on the 2007-08 presidential campaign. It has Reid, a supporter of then-candidate Barack Obama, privately suggesting the country was finally ready to elect a black man, especially one who, like Obama, is “lightskinned” and has “no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.” A firestorm has raged ever since, with GOP Chairman Michael Steele likening Reid’s remarks to the gaffe that got Sen. Trent Lott in trouble eight years ago. In his online column, Journal-isms, Richard Prince writes that panelists on the Sunday talk shows “were shocked, shocked that there is ‘colorism’ in America and a perceived ‘Negro dialect.’ ... Coincidentally, there were no journalists of color in any of the discussions.” Too bad. They might have helped frame the one question that has gone conspicuously unaddressed in the loud debate over what Reid said: Was he right? Sure he was. Moreover, there is something unbearably precious in the idea of pundits bypassing that question to debate the existence of colorism and black dialect. Anyone who doubts the existence of the former should acquaint herself with the “doll tests” conducted by Dr. Kenneth Clark in the 1930s and 1940s and revived by young filmmaker Kiri Davis in the 2000s. Those tests found black children describing otherwise identical white dolls as “nice” and “good” and black ones as “bad.” If colorism is this pronounced among black people – and it is – is anyone naive enough to believe it has no beachhead among white ones? Anyone who doubts the existence of a black dialect (actually “dialects,” plural)

denies self-evident truth. Of course there is, just as there is a Boston Irish dialect, a Southern white dialect, a Midwestern dialect. So what? Anyone who doubts Obama’s ability to turn said OPINION dialect off and on has never heard him work a black Leonard audience – or reporter. I Pitts interviewed Obama once. ■■■ He quoted something I had written about him, whereupon I expressed surprise that he knew my work. Obama’s reply: “Oh yeah, brother, I read you.” I have trouble imagining him addressing George F. Will in a similar manner. I also have trouble understanding why this calibration of language would be problematic. Don’t the members of most groups – ethnic, racial, religious, geographic, occupational – speak differently among their own? The gist of Reid’s comment, then, is that a dark-skinned man who announced his candidacy thusly – “I’m gon’ run for president. I ax for your support” – would have trouble being taken seriously. I find that an unremarkable contention. George W. Bush couldn’t pronounce “nuclear” if you put a gun to his head, and you need a GPS and a Sherpa to get through Sarah Palin’s winding utterances, but their race buys them at least a measure of forbearance that – call me crazy – I don’t think a dark-skinned candidate could expect. To believe Reid did something wrong in talking about that is to buy the silly contention that talking about race is, of itself, racist. The morally malleable Michael Steele knows better. He also knows full well that Trent Lott’s sin was to suggest America would have been better off had an arch-segregationist been elected president in 1948. That’s not close to what Reid did. No, Reid’s sin was to be blunt, indecorous, impolitic. ... And right. LEONARD PITTS JR., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

me. My concern comes from a study done by Harvard Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s John F. Kennedy School of Government. It found that 60 percent of teenagers today pay little attention to daily news. LESSONS Their findings revealed LEARNED that U.S. teenagers largely ignore war, poliPaula tics and news in general. Williams The study found that â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; news is just not important to them. I wonder if those statistics are really valid about U.S. young adults. I also wonder if young adults in other countries are as disinterested in what is happening in the world around them. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the answer to either question. But as an educator, it bothers me that perhaps we are not encouraging our youth to be more civic-minded. Even in elementary school, we participate in Kids Voting during election years and discuss current events at times. Maybe that is just not enough. My second-grade granddaughter told me last week that she â&#x20AC;&#x153;votedâ&#x20AC;? for President Obama last fall in her school election, but now she is not sure if she still â&#x20AC;&#x153;likesâ&#x20AC;? him. We discussed her feelings and some of the misconceptions she had about his job. It was interesting to hear her 7-year-old perspective on politics, and it made me realize that we need to give children exposure to issues important to our country and listen to what they have to say. Maybe if we do, more young adults will be interested in keeping up with current events. So talk with the children, teens and young adults in your life about current events. Keep them interested, and send them looking for answers when they question details of events. Maybe even have them pick up that old standard-bearer of news delivery â&#x20AC;&#x201C; their local newspaper.

... These local governments bulldozed the fundamental rights of their own constituents and, then, their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;business partner,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Pfizer, cast them aside ...

Pfizer for putting its own citizens out of their homes? That brings us to the latest development: Pfizer is moving the research jobs elsewhere. The city probably will not â&#x20AC;&#x153;get backâ&#x20AC;? its tax forgiveness. State tax monies from Connecticut used to entice New London to revitalize have been expended. Local businesses that depended upon Pfizer and the development for patronage are now looking at financial decline. What remains is a barren undeveloped site where homeowners once kept their homes with pride. It is a sad story of local governments drawn into projects by the promise of large state grants. The grant then allowed them to accede to the special demands of large enterprises like Pfizer for tax breaks and special treatment. What is even sadder is that in their rush to redevelop, these same local governments bulldozed the fundamental rights of their own constituents and, then, their â&#x20AC;&#x153;business partner,â&#x20AC;? Pfizer, cast them aside whenever it chose to do so. Kelo has a perfect right to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told you so.â&#x20AC;?

fizer, the huge drug company, has announced that it will be leaving a large research complex in New London, Conn., and moving several hundred jobs to nearby Groton. Such belt-tightening in tough economic times would normally draw little criticism. In this case, however, it should. Recall that Pfizer played a central role in getting New London to seize the homes of local residents who lived adjacent to the Pfizer site. Pfizer, according to accounts, wanted that mixed residential area, called the Fort Trumbull section, to be leveled and replaced with an upscale development that would include a five-star luxury hotel, top-tier condos, and private office space for Pfizerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suppliers, workers and visitors. Now Pfizer is leaving New London â&#x20AC;&#x153;high and dry.â&#x20AC;? How did this happen? A little less than a decade ago, New London and Pfizer wanted to â&#x20AC;&#x153;redevelopâ&#x20AC;? a portion of that old coastal city, spurred on by a large state grant. What they did not predict was the local outcry against this â&#x20AC;&#x153;revitalizationâ&#x20AC;? when Fort Trumbull residents learned that their homes would be taken by the process known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;eminent domain.â&#x20AC;? Among the residents was the kind but spunky Susette Kelo, who, with the help of an outside legal advocacy organization, the Institute for Justice, and the instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead attorney, Scott Bullock, took her case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. It became known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kelo case.â&#x20AC;? Keloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contention was that when the government takes property by eminent domain, the seizure must be for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;public use.â&#x20AC;? This is the language of the U.S. Constitution, where it says in the Fifth Amendment that private property shall not be taken except for a public use, and then only with just compensation from the government. New London was offering to pay Kelo for her property, but her contention was that in taking her property, and giving it to another private party for development â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the way the New London Development Corporation and Pfizer desired â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was no longer a public use. New London officials argued that greater tax revenues would be produced by the revitalization and, therefore, some public good was done by the restructuring of the Fort Trumbull area. Kelo and the Institute for Justice pointed to such a contention as ominous for all homeowners, since local governments could

almost always imagine a â&#x20AC;&#x153;higher useâ&#x20AC;? to which individual residential properties could be put. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court found in favor of New London and against Kelo, but the case produced a firestorm of protest across the country, leading over 40 states to more tightly control eminent-domain abuse. What about Pfizer?

had an enlightening conversation with two bright, young college students recently during which we came around to the subject of courage. I mentioned that I thought the passengers who helped to thwart the attempted Christmas Day bombing aboard the plane bound from Amsterdam to Detroit were extremely courageous, and the two students stared at me in amazement. They asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What do you mean? What bombing attempt?â&#x20AC;? To my surprise, they had heard nothing about it. I must confess to being a news junkie. I read the newspaper religiously and watch the evening local and national news if at all possible. And being really old now (that is, in my 50s), I cannot really remember when my obsession with being current on all newsworthy matters began. Perhaps in college, I, too, was preoccupied with studies, working, boys and all the other things that occupy the time and mental effort of a young adult. My college days in the 1970s were also an era when news was primarily delivered from major network TV news agencies and the local newspaper. I do remember loving Walter Cronkite! Today, teens and young adults make more use of Internet-based news sources, with the Internet now rivaling TV as a main source of national and international news. Statistics from the Pew Research Center show that nearly six in 10 Americans younger than 20 (59 percent) say they get most of their news today online. There has long been a sizable â&#x20AC;&#x153;generation gapâ&#x20AC;? in newspaper readership. The Pew Research Center found that older adults (born before 1946) were more than twice as likely to read a newspaper on any given day as our younger generation. In fact, only one in 12 young adults and one in 20 teens say they rely heavily on a daily newspaper. Yes, times have changed and the means by which we know what is happening in our world has changed right along with the times. However, it is not the fact that young people are not reading the newspaper that bothers

Justice sues swim club, charging race bias

Race over Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat turns negative BOSTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; What for weeks had been a polite â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even sleepy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; race in Massachusetts to fill the late Edward M. Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Senate seat has turned negative as the contest tightens, raising the stakes for both parties and the White House in next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election. In a 48-hour span: â&#x20AC;˘ Democrat Martha Coakley, who had been heavily favored, unleashed a TV ad attacking her GOP opponent, Scott Brown, as â&#x20AC;&#x153;in lockstep with Washington Republicans.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ The national committee charged with electing Senate Democrats rolled out an ad claiming Massachusetts voters know little about Brown and imploring them not to let him â&#x20AC;&#x153;take them for a ride.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ The Service Employees International Union went on the air with a spot that says Brown â&#x20AC;&#x153;calls himself independent, but voted with Republican leadership 96 percent of the time,â&#x20AC;? opposes abortion rights and is backed by some of Sarah Palinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supporters. The onslaught of negative TV ads and arrival of out-of-state operatives underscore Democratsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worry that their hold on the seat is in jeopardy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and

A supporter of U.S. Senate candidate Democrat Martha Coakley reaches toward journalist John McCormack of The Weekly Standard after shoving him to the ground outside a fundraiser in Washington Tuesday. that they could lose the pivotal 60th Senate vote needed to pass President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care overhaul and other legislation. Republican-allied groups have gone negative as well, reaching for a long-shot upset and sensing that Brown has momentum in a difficult political environment for Democrats.

Judge orders $500K for each of preacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victims TEXARKANA, Ark. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Five young women who testified last year that evangelist Tony Alamo took them as â&#x20AC;&#x153;wivesâ&#x20AC;? and sexually assaulted them when they were minors are entitled to $500,000 each from his multi-million-dollar ministry, a federal judge ruled Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Harry F. Barnes ordered restitution after a government witness said the women suffered physical and mental pain at the hands

of Alamo, who is serving a 175-year prison sentence for taking the women when they were underage across state lines for sex. In his ruling, Barnes noted that each of the victims were assaulted by someone they regarded as a pastor and prophet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The defendant has truly, truly damaged these five young girls and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think any amount of money this court can order can replace their loss,â&#x20AC;? Barnes said.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Justice Department accused a suburban Philadelphia swim club of race bias in a lawsuit filed Wednesday, six months after the club barred a group of mostly black day campers from their pool. The civil-rights suit charges that the Valley Club of Huntingdon Valley engaged in a pattern of racial discrimination in canceling its $1,950, eightweek contract with the Philadelphia-based Creative Steps program after the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first visit. Much of the national attention over the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions centered on a statement by club president John Duesler, who said the presence of so many children would â&#x20AC;&#x153;change the complexionâ&#x20AC;? or atmosphere of the club.

THOMASVILLE – The Thomasville Board of Education viewed a final draft of the system’s 2010-11 calendar for the first time during its regular monthly meeting Tuesday night. As a result of the meeting, the calendar was put on the table for 30 days until it will be considered next month, said Rick Jones, the system’s career technical education director. Parents received a copy of the proposed calendar in December, Jones said. “What really drives our calendar is that about 12 years ago, the three superintendents – Davidson County, Lexington City and Thomasville City (school systems) – agreed to have a common calendar within reason as a caveat,” Jones said, adding the Davidson County Board of Education recently approved its calendar. “For us, Davidson County and Thomasville, it’s exceptionally important for us to have a calendar that is almost identical. The reason is because we have cooperative programs. We have JROTC where students from county schools come to our campus ... We have students

Under the proposed calendar, students will have a full week off for Easter break. from East Davidson and Ledford (high schools) who come to our campus to take carpentry and masonry (classes).” Thomasville City Schools calendar committee, which is composed of representatives from each of the system’s four schools, met for the first time in October, Jones said. Employees then were allowed to submit written responses on the calendar. Under the proposed calendar, students will have a full week off for Easter break, which is an addition of three days for Easter break. Students, however, will lose two days for Christmas break. Thomasville school officials will receive public comments on the proposed calendar, which is posted on the system’s Web site, up until the school board’s Feb. 2 meeting. Jones said comments can be made by coming into the Thomasville City Schools Central Office or by contacting him at 474-4208. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

County considers expanded drug abuse program BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – County leaders could take another look tonight at a proposed expanded program to fight adolescent substance abuse. During a retreat, commissioners settled on a program last week that would include education, treatment and the creation of a juvenile drug court. Commissioner Kay Cashion, who led a substance abuse committee, urged the Guilford County Board of Commissioners to start considering a financial plan. The board will meet at 5:30 p.m. in the Old County Courthouse in Greensboro. “Helping our children is the most important thing we can do,” said the Greensboro Democrat. The committee looked at existing programs and youth drug courts in Durham, Winston-Salem and Cumberland County and decid-

DRUG ABUSE

Juveniles: Studies show 9 percent of Guilford County’s middle-school students have used marijuana, as have 38 percent of the county’s high school students. The average age of initiation to drugs is less than 12 in the United States. ed earlier that Guilford County needs a drug court for juveniles. The county could start a youth drug court for about $225,000, Cashion said. Some state funding is possible. Other expenses would include a program director and a grant writer, expanding treatment services at the Juvenile Detention Center and providing more aftercare for treated juveniles for about six months. “The families need to be involved in the care,” Cashion said.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

“There is a lack of this kind of care for juveniles.” The program also would focus on more collaboration with the schools and would expand the Guilford Training Academy to provide more substance abuse counselors. Commissioners seemed to agree that the program would save the county money over sending troubled youth through the criminal justice system. “We want to save as many juveniles as possible from going to jail,” Board of Commissioners Chairman Skip Alston said last week. Each dollar invested in substance abuse services saves $4 to $5 in detention and other costs, according to experts. “The models are out there,” Cashion said. “We can make an investment and get a great return. If we can turn these young people around, we can save a lot of money.” dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Early choice too expensive for all BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Partly because of the expense and the risk of confusing parents, the Guilford County Board of Education decided Tuesday not to offer an early transfer choice to parents at nine other low-performing schools that may have to offer choice for the first time next year. The board also considered moving up the choice schedule for all 27 low-performing schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we could open a can of worms if we did that,â&#x20AC;? said at-large board member Sandra Alexander. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could be creating chaos.â&#x20AC;? Chairman Alan Duncan offered the motion to limit the early schedule to the seven schools offering choice again next year.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we did this for all of them, you could have greater numbers of optouts, and then we are in a dollar situation where we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that,â&#x20AC;? Duncan said. It could cost the district as much as $700,000 for five new buses and other expenses to serve all the 27 schools next year, according to estimates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My pocketbook is not that big,â&#x20AC;? said board member Garth Hebert of High Point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are asking parents to sign up for a school based on a guess that the new school is a good one.â&#x20AC;? Parents at the 20 other schools will receive notification of their options during the summer once Adequate Yearly Progress scores are released by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

NC alcohol head decries â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;culture of entitlementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Workers at some locally run liquor boards have developed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;culture of entitlementâ&#x20AC;? that includes accepting lavish meals from distillers, taking six-figure salaries and traveling in luxury on the public tab, the state alcohol commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief said Wednesday. The state Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission board has limited control over the 161 independently run county and municipal liquor agencies, but members recently appointed

by Gov. Beverly Perdue were determined to vent outrage after news reports of excesses. ABC commission chairman Jon Williams outlined a new revelation: the father-and-son duo who administered the Wilmington areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s locally run liquor stores flew first-class to a May conference in Phoenix, where they stayed in a $300-a-night resort hotel and rented a luxury car at more than $200 a day. The costs were apparently paid by taxpayers, Williams said.

Dear Abby: My problem is I attract needy people. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a problem setting boundaries. However, those boundaries are frequently crossed because the person is so self-absorbed that he/she â&#x20AC;&#x153;canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hearâ&#x20AC;? me. How does one draw the line with a complete stranger who wants to tell me her whole life story the first time we meet, and sucks away my energy and my time? I feel like the individual isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even talking to me. She might as well be talking to herself or to a wall for all I care. Abby, I do not want to continue being taken hostage by these kinds of people. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not interested in their lives or troubles. I have enough of my own. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be unkind, but I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t found a way to protect myself from being forced to invest time in needy acquaintances with whom I do not wish to pursue a relationship.

Parents fear tag-along girlfriend will hold him back ear Abby: Our son, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sam,â&#x20AC;? is a senior in high school and has chosen a college that will suit his major. Now, all of a sudden, his girlfriend, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amanda,â&#x20AC;? has decided she wants to attend the same school. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to discourage it because we know sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only going there to be close to our son. We feel she needs to get out on her own as much as Sam does. Sam has tried to break up with her in the past, but she makes him feel guilty about breaking it off. We have talked to our son about her and her behavior. He is a bright kid, but seems not to be smart where Amanda is concerned. Please help us figure out a way to make Sam understand the kind of position heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s putting himself in. Amanda is needy and spoiled. She has never had to work for anything. Our son holds down two jobs and seems very independent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so why is he coddling her? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Help Needed in Wisconsin

months. If the cool season grasses have taken on more of a yellowish cast, they will start to green up as we move into February, which is the next time the cool season lawns should be fertilized. The warm season grasses, however, will not green up or come out of dormancy until the later part of April. You may also notice areas within a lawn will vary in color due to micro-climate factors. A sheltered area may be greener than an exposed portion, even if the same grasses are found in each. Areas with more available moisture may also appear greener in color. Last but not least, try not to walk on your lawn when it is frozen, as this can certainly damage it.

Answer: One big reason is the presence of warm and cool season grasses together in the lawn. Warm-season perennial grasses, such as Bermuda, centipede and zoysia grass, are now light tan because they have gone dormant with cooler temperatures. There are some annual warm season grasses like crabgrass that have turned tan due to the cold as well. Cool-season grasses, such as fescue or the fescue/bluegrass blends, usually stay green MASTER GARDENERS will anor can take on more of a swer questions on horticultural yellowish cast depending topics.

Not all tremors are due to Parkinson’s disease

ear Dr. Donohue: I have benign essential tremor. Friends and family are convinced I have Parkinson’s disease because of the tremor in my hands, head and voice. Will you please explain the difference? – L.R.

BLONDIE

When people see shaking hands, they immediately believe that the person is either nervous or has Parkinson’s disease. Neither is true. Most of the time, the person has your condition, benign essential tremor, which affects 10 million Americans and is much more common than Parkinson’s disease. The tremor of Parkinson’s disease is a resting tremor. It occurs when the hands are lying in the lap. The index finger constantly rolls over the thumb. The tremor of benign essential tremor occurs when a person uses the hands – lifting a spoonful of soup to the mouth, bringing a cup to the lips, fitting a key into a door lock. Benign essential tremor also can affect the head. The head bobs in a yes-yes or no-no movement. That never happens in Parkinson’s disease. And the voice can take on a trembling quality – another sign that doesn’t occur with Parkinson’s. Essential tremor is also called familial tremor because it so often runs in families. None of the other Parkinson’s signs are seen with essential tremor. They include such

things as an expressionless face, small handwriting, slow movement, rigid HEALTH muscles and walkDr. Paul ing slightly Donohue bent at the ■■■ waist. Alcohol almost always abolishes essential tremor for a short time; it does nothing for Parkinson’s tremor. Alcohol isn’t a treatment, but other medicines often provide good suppression of essential tremor. Propranolol (Inderal) and primidone (Mysoline) are two examples. People with essential tremor should introduce themselves to the International Essential Tremor Foundation. The foundation provides a wealth of information and can direct people to local support groups. The toll-free number is: 888-387-3667, and the Web site is www.essentialtremor.org. Dear Dr. Donohue: Please stop telling people that nothing can be done for their tremors. I had an operation for my essential tremor. As you can see, I can write with ease. My tremor was bad beyond anyone’s imagination. I have been very satisfied with the results of the operation. – E.R. Are you sure I am the one your gun’s barrel should be pointed at?

I always list the many treatments for essential and other tremors. I never have said they are untreatable. For those whose tremor doesn’t respond to medicines or whose tremor is incapacitating, deep-brain stimulation often can stop it in its tracks. The stimulator is a pacemaker-size device put under the skin of the chest. Wires from it are threaded to the part of the brain responsible for the tremor. Stimulation of that brain area stops the shaking for most. I am happy to hear you had such gratifying results. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have enclosed a list of my husband’s medicines. I have no idea what his health problem is, and I get little information from him. He has no energy, walks slowly and loses the drift of conversation. I appreciate your help. – B.S. Medicines have more than one use. A much better idea than having me give you a brief description of his medicines is to accompany your husband during his doctor visits and stay with him when the doctor examines him. The doctor will appreciate your input. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

NEW YORK (AP) – The competitors of Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien are pouncing on the late-night mess at NBC and using it as fodder for jokes – some of them scathing. On ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Tuesday night, Kimmel performed his entire show as Leno, complete with a silver wig, a prosthetic chin and a lisp. He said he was “taking over all the shows in late-night” and said ABC stands for “Always Bump Conan.” Kimmel’s performance was an unusually biting dig among late-night colleagues. But he certainly wasn’t alone: David Letterman and Craig Ferguson on CBS also discussed the situation.

ENVER – Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and others went on to pop stardom after appearing on “The All New Mickey Mouse Club” as kids. Co-star Matt Morris just wanted to go home to Denver. “I didn’t want to rush toward a rich-and-famous contract,” said Morris, now 30, tattooed and married, with a dark beard framing a grin. “I just wanted to go to high school.” He kept in touch though, writing songs with and for Timberlake and Aguilera over the years. On Tuesday, Morris is releasing his own full-length album on Timberlake’s Tennman Records. “When Everything Breaks Open” is the first fulllength national release for Timberlake’s label. “I’ve never been treated like someone who gets a free ride just because I’m a friend,” Morris said of Timberlake. “We’ve held each other to a really high standard, even when we were kids. We don’t just let things slide.” “I’ve known Matt since I was 10,” Timberlake said in an e-mail, “so we’ve watched

‘We’ve (Morris and Justin Timberlake) held each other to a really high standard, even when we were kids. We don’t just let things slide.’ Matt Morris each other grow up with music around us constantly. It goes without saying that I think Matt is beyond gifted, and it’s just nice to have a forum where he can put his music out and trust the person taking care of it. Morris got his start in music early. Dad is country musician Gary Morris, and Mom sings and plays piano. As his mother tells it, she would sing a note to him in her arms when he was a baby, and he would sing it back. In grade school, he watched the Disney Channel on his grandmother’s TV. When he saw an ad asking kids to audition for a new Mickey Mouse Club, he went for it, winning a spot on the variety show over hundreds of other kids. The show’s young stars, including Britney Spears, spent time with acting and dancing coaches, in

Matt Morris front of cameras and in recording studios. “Everyone came out of it really prepared for whatever would come in the professional world, whether it be movies, TV or albums,” said Morris, who was on the show from 1991-1995. After the show ended, Morris went home to Denver. He was in his high school’s musicals and spent time volunteering in Paraguay. After graduation, he moved to Nashville, where he took some classes at Belmont University, a Christian school. It was in Nashville that he saw musicians making a living at writing their own songs. “It was a new beginning for me,” he said. A self-released album that took about a month to complete came out in 2003, followed by tour dates opening for The Indigo Girls and Joan Osborne, plus gigs at coffee shops and small clubs. “When Everything Breaks Open,” produced by Timberlake and Charlie Sexton, took about two years to record, and plenty of people contributed. “I’ve heard every acoustic version of every song Matt’s ever written, because that’s how he writes, and that’s how they start,” Timberlake said. “Charlie, I think, brought a whole new life and a different color for every progression that Matt wrote.” Timberlake, Patty Griffin and Edie Brickell provided background vocals. Morris’ husband, Sean Michael Morris, inspired the song “Love” and helped write lyrics for “Just Before the Morning.” The lyrics for “Love” make no mention of the singer’s object of affection, but Morris doesn’t hide his husband in the liner notes on his album. The two went to California to get married.

Stuart Townsend has departed Marvel Comics’ movie adaptation of “Thor” because of creative differences, according to sources close to the production. Townsend had been cast as Fandral, an ally of Norse god Thor. He was replaced by Joshua Dallas, according to the two sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record. The cast change came as production was about to begin. Shooting started Monday on the movie directed by Kenneth Branagh. Irish actor Townsend, 37, best known as the boyfriend of Academy Award winner Charlize Theron, starred in “Queen of the Damned.” He had been cast as Aragorn in “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy but was replaced at the last minute by Viggo Mortensen. Dallas, an American actor who is a relative newcomer, appears in George Lucas’ upcoming Tuskagee Airmen drama “Red Tails.” “Thor” stars Chris Hemsworth in the title role, a warrior cast down to Earth to live among mortals as punishment for his reckless actions, which rekindled an ancient war in the realm of Asgard. Thor’s troubles continue after dark forces of Asgard are dispatched to invade Earth.

Thursday, Jan. 14, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Jason Bateman, 41; LL Cool J, 42; Emily Watson, 43; Faye Dunaway, 69 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You may feel like being the quiet observer but you have too much to offer that will allow you greater freedom in the future. Participation will keep you in the game. Don’t be afraid to take a different approach to something you’ve done many times before. Your numbers are 5, 12, 15, 21, 30, 32, 39 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Find out all you can about the people you are dealing with so you can work your way around a sticky situation that has the potential to damage your position or your reputation. Letting someone else make the first move will be detrimental. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your persistence in the past, coupled with your strong beliefs and somewhat stubborn attitude will pay off now. Business travel, conferences or communication will help to flush out any problem areas and allow you to stay in control. ★★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It’s important to be creative when you are trying to put your plans into motion. However, keep your costs down. Moderation and practicality are two factors you must incorporate if you want to be successful. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are facing changes that will benefit you in the end. Don’t let your personal responsibilities stop you from taking advantage of an offer. Your success will be a good thing for everyone to whom you are close. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Avoid being too generous with your time and money if you want to impress people who can make a difference to your professional future. Make a strategic move that will guarantee your success. There is money heading your way. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Children, friends and activities that interest you will all help direct you to a bigger and brighter future. Get out shopping or look for something to enhance you physically, mentally or financially. Plan a little romance for late in the day. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Keep a low profile, especially if there are people who are not heading in the same direction as you trying to infiltrate your space. When you have everything in place, you will stand a better chance of getting what you want or moving on without as much opposition. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The more you experience and share your thoughts with others, the more you will realize how much you have to offer. Love is on the rise and an interesting partnership that offers something very unique will develop. Make positive geographic or emotional moves. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You don’t have to take a back seat if you don’t agree with something, but be diplomatic. Someone you are dealing with will remind you of an old acquaintance. Use similar tactics to get this person to act on your behalf. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you owe someone something, pay it back and, if you are owed something, ask for its return. Finish undone matters that are holding you back. Recognition is heading your way – take full credit for your efforts. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Clear up matters concerning institutions, government agencies or personal business matters. Don’t leave anything to chance. A relationship that is not out in the open may be exciting but will cause damage if you don’t face issues head-on. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You don’t have to wait for someone else to make the first move. Getting involved in an organization that complements your own agenda will pay off. Love is in the stars and better times are heading your way. ★★★★

IENNA â&#x20AC;&#x201C;At age 98, Leopold Hawelka â&#x20AC;&#x201C; looking smart in blazer and bow tie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; still sits in his famous cafe on most mornings, greeting guests and keeping a close eye on staff from a table near the kitchen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a real Vienna coffeehouse,â&#x20AC;? says Hawelka, whose establishment in the heart of the Austrian capital attracted world renowned writers and artists for decades. The Cafe Hawelka, which opened in 1939 and was previously known as the Cafe Ludwig, is perhaps the most storied of the hundreds of coffeehouses in the city where locals and tourists alike can spend hours in a setting that can be a reminder of ages past. But even these celebrated icons of Viennaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golden age are feeling the heat from the likes of Starbucks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the musty bastions of tradition are being confronted with the need for innovation. An exhibition titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Shape of the Cafe to Comeâ&#x20AC;? showcases quirky ideas by young designers aimed at giving such coffeehouses a modern twist. Solicited by Austrian architect and designer Gregor Eichinger, the ideas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; displayed at Viennaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MAK museum until the end of the month â&#x20AC;&#x201C; include a sleek contraption that serves as table

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would hurt if someone threw all of this away,â&#x20AC;? he added, lovingly stroking a worn chair and pointing to the cafeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional decor that includes a mirrored counter and dark parquet floors. Several years ago, he rejected a potential buyer who wanted to transform the establishment into a cafe-cum-ski store. Such sentiments are understandable.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;American Idolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; thinks young, edgy in ninth season taking the place of Paula Abdul on the judging panel that lost Simon Cowell, but still contains Randy Jackson and, back for her sophomore turn, Kara DioGuardi. Can â&#x20AC;&#x153;Idolâ&#x20AC;? hang on as the No. 1 series, a spot itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s held for five years among all viewers and for six years among 18-to-49 year olds, a demographic much favored by advertisers? Yes, said industry analyst Shari Anne Brill â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will remain the toprated show through this

year,â&#x20AC;? said Brill of Carat USA. After that, she said, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a guessing game, especially since uber-judge Cowell decided to exit after this season and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Idolâ&#x20AC;? is deprived of his sharp bite (or at least loud bark). The showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s producers and Fox pay due respect to the judging panel but say what counts most are the â&#x20AC;&#x153;kids,â&#x20AC;? their favored term for the mostly 20something contestants angling for a record contract and career, such as last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner Kris Al-

len and runner-up Adam Lambert. In focus groups with viewers, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about contestants that provoke the most emotion, said Fox executive Preston Beckman.

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idolâ&#x20AC;? was the colossus that dominated television in the new centuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first decade, generating top ratings, a heady share of buzz and a handful of bankable stars including Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Jennifer Hudson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;THIS is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;American Idol,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; host Ryan Seacrest first intoned in 2002, and the singing contest that was a summer surprise turned into an annual visitor with staying power. Whether it can retain its status this year, let alone through the second decade, is a crucial question for its home base, Fox, as well as the networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competitors and the seemingly bottomless well of aspiring singers who see it as a shortcut to discovery. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenge for a series that, entered its ninth season Tuesday, is undergoing its biggest shake-up yet with Ellen DeGeneres

Blue Devils bounce back against BC DURHAM (AP) — Nolan Smith scored 24 points to help eighth-ranked Duke bounce back from a weekend loss and beat Boston College 79-59 on Wednesday night. Kyle Singler added 15 points for the Blue Devils (14-2, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who pushed ahead for good late in the first half and pulled away in the opening minutes after the break. Reggie Jackson scored 20 points for the Eagles (10-7, 1-2), but he was BC’s only double-figure scorer. While Boston College held up through the first 15 minutes or so, the Blue Devils’ pressure defense

finally started to make a difference late in the first half. Duke held Boston College without a field goal for nearly eight minutes and used a 15-3 run to turn a two-point deficit late in the half into a 4635 edge on Singler’s alleyoop dunk off a feed from Smith with 17:30 left in the game. The lead reached 5437 before Tyler Roche ended the drought with a runner with 14:40 to play, then grew steadily from there. Smith matched his career high for scoring, while Singler bounced back from a miserable day against Georgia Tech.

HPU men set for beach swing BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Two of the Big South Conference’s success stories meet tonight when High Point University’s men visit Charleston Southern. Thanks to a five-game winning streak, the Panthers enter their 7:30 tipoff with the Buccaneers at 9-6 overall and 4-1 in the league. Both records already match the win totals for last year’s squad, which finished 9-21, 4-14. Charleston Southern enters at 8-8, 3-3, and will match its win totals for all of last year with one more victory. “It’s a great accomplishment for our players, to get bought in and believe in the stuff we’re doing, continue to work as hard as they have,” said firstyear HPU coach Scott Cherry. “The guys are excited, but they’re also excited about being tied for second in the league and having a chance, if we win these two games, to be tied for first.” The Panthers will make the 21⁄2-hour drive from Charleston to Conway – just outside of Myrtle Beach – on Friday in advance of Saturday’s 2 p.m. tip at Coastal Carolina. Coastal currently leads the Big South with a 6-0 mark. High Point’s annual “beach swing” won’t be a day at the beach. Charleston sports a 6-0 mark this year at the CSU Field House, while Coastal owns a 9-0 record in Kimbel Arena. The Panthers, meanwhile, are just 2-6 on the

road, but got a key win to open the Big South season at Presbyterian and held off N.C. Central in Durham on Monday despite missing Nick Barbour. “That’s always a concern,” Cherry said of not playing well on the road, “but I feel like we’re moving in the right direction. We put together a really good game without our leading scorer.” Barbour, averaging 19.1 points per game, sat out as a precaution after bumping knees in Saturday’s win over Radford. The sophomore practiced Wednesday and should be at full speed for the Buccaneers, who boast an impressive three-guard lineup that will test the Panthers’ guard-heavy lineup. Junior Jamarco Warren has knocked down 50 shots from the 3-point line this season and leads CSU at 17.3 points per game. Sophomore Kelvin Martin is a 6-foot-5 wing player who crashes the boards to the tune of 8.1 rebounds per game, ranks second on the team in assists and scores 14.4 points per game. Jeremy Sexton is the league’s reigning cofreshman of the week. He averages 12.5 points and has made 41 shots from long range at a 44-percent clip. “They’ve got three really good guards that can really, really score the basketball,” Cherry said. “We have our work cut out to stop them. It will be a real good challenge for us. It should be a good match of styles.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Wake Forest’s Chas McFarland and Ishmael Smith react during the Deacons secondhalf surge against Maryland on Tuesday. Smith hit the winning shot as Wake prevailed 85-83 in overtime.

Smith no big shot over latest big shot for Deacs I

n the late hours of Tuesday night in a back room at Joel Coliseum, senior guard Ishmael Smith tried to play the role of humble hero following another overtime victory by Wake Forest, this time 85-83 over Maryland. He talked about Chas McFarland’s key play off the bench that included eight points and 12 rebounds. He talked about Ari Stewart’s two key buckets that were his only two of the night. He talked about his backcourt mate C.J. Harris drilling key shots that were part of a 16-point effort. He talked about key free throws made by Al-Farouq Aminu, who went 10 of 12 from SPORTS the line as part of an effort than included 24 points, 13 Greer rebounds, three blocks and Smith two steals. ■■■ “I don’t think 100 percent of the credit goes to me,” Smith said. “Matter of fact, two percent goes to me and the other 98 percent goes to the team.” While trying to remain a team guy and stick with the popular party line, Smith sold himself short. Without his two percent – a floating teardrop shot with 18 seconds to play – Wake could very well be 1-2 in the Atlantic Coast Conference instead of 2-1. Smith was thankful that he got the opportunity, that coach Dino Gaudio gave him the green light even though he had hit just 7-of-22 shots before the game-winner. He was happy that Gaudio wants the ball in his hands even though he’s shot under 38.5 percent from the field in four of the past five games. “I don’t care what the stats say,” Gaudio said. “Ish makes big shots. Excuse the redundancy. At Virginia Tech as a sophomore. Against Miami here as a sophomore. He hit a big 3 against Richmond. He makes three straight 3s in the two overtimes against Xavier. He makes big shots. I have all the confidence in the world in him. At the end of the game, I want the ball in his hands.” The buckets against Richmond and Xavier came in two of Wake’s past four games. Gaudio also put the ball in Smith’s hands last Saturday at Miami, but that time there was no magic as the Hurricanes changed defenses and Smith

missed in a 67-66 Deacon loss. “We had a play set for man to man but they switched to zone,” Smith said of the closing seconds against the Hurricanes. “I just tried to put my head down and make a play. A guy deflected the ball out of my hand a little bit. I regathered it and threw it up to the rim so my teammates would have a chance to get a rebound and make a play. If they had knocked the ball out and I had gotten the ball, I was ready to knock it down.” He didn’t get that second chance against Miami, so Smith was glad to get a chance against the Terrapins. Gaudio said there was no option for Smith to kick it out to someone else. “I was hurt that I didn’t make that shot at Miami,” Smith said. “But you can’t dwell on the past. You can only think about the present and the future. Luckily, I made that tough shot. “I appreciate Coach and my teammates trusting me with the last shot. I felt like I let my guys down in Miami, so I wanted to redeem myself.” Redemption became sweet in part because the Terps’ senior go-to guy – Greivis Vasquez – failed to his make his last five field-goal attempts after getting the first bucket of the overtime to give Maryland its last lead at 78-76. Vasquez misfired for the final time on a 3point attempt with 10 seconds to play. Sean Mosley grabbed the rebound and missed a 3 with three seconds left. The battle for the rebound went off the Deacs with threetenths of a second remaining, but hopes of a Maryland miracle disappeared when Aminu grabbed the inbounds pass. Vasquez finished with 30 points but hit just 9 of 27 shots. Smith said he wasn’t concerned about putting up better numbers than his counterpart. “I thought I shot a lot, but he shot 27 times,” Smith said. “He’s a good friend of mine. But, I don’t think about the matchups. I could have no points and no assists, but as long as we come out with a win I’m happy. It’s more than anything the team.” The personal matchups may not matter to Smith. Making those clutch last-second shots do. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

WHO’S NEWS

HIT AND RUN he University of Connecticut women’s basketball team is so good, it’s scary. The top-ranked Huskies, 16-0 after last night’s rout of Marquette, own a 55-game winning streak. That’s the second longest mark in women’s NCAA Div. I history. Who holds the record? Why, it’s UConn of course. The Huskies won 70 straight from 2001-2003. And the Huskies don’t just win. They destroy opponents.

VIRGINIA GEORGIA TECH

All 55 of UConn’s victories during the current streak have come by double figures. That’s an NCAA record. This year, UConn has won 14 of 16 games by at least 25 points. Plus, the better the opposition, the better these Huskies perform. UConn has played four ranked foes so far this season and prevailed by an average margin of 24.5 points. The Huskies clobbered Texas by 25 points, Stanford by 12, Florida

State by 19 and North Carolina by 41. Can you imagine the No. 1 team in this year’s men’s AP poll crushing other ranked teams by such margins? Neither can I. Perhaps the UConn women should schedule a few games against men’s teams. That might provide a stiffer test – and the potential for an occasional loss.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

That blur speeding away from opposing defenses and running off with The Associated Press 2009 NFL Offensive Player of the Year award is Chris Johnson. Considered the fastest man in pro football, Johnson was uncatchable in setting a league mark for yards from scrimmage (2,509) and becoming the sixth player with a 2,000-yard rushing season. He is the first NFL player to finish with at least 2,000 yards rushing and 500 receiving (503). That earned the second-year 1 pro 38 ⁄2 votes Wednesday from a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters.

BOONE — High Point’s Kellen Brand scored 20 points and Appalachian State defeated Elon 89-65 on Wednesday night. The Mountaineers (97, 3-2 Southern Conference) outrebounded the Phoenix (3-13, 1-4) 40-24, had 11 second chance points and scored 32 points in the paint. Terrance Birdette’s 3-pointer gave the Elon its first lead since 8:24 left in the first half, 4342, with 15:07 to play. After both teams took turns in the lead, Elon tied the score at 60 on Adam Constantine’s dunk with 11:34 remaining. Appalachian State then went on a 13-8 run and led 73-58 on Andre Williamson’s jump shot with 4:45 to go. Donald Sims scored 16 points, Ryann Abraham added 12 and Josh Hunter and Williamson had 11 points apiece for the Mountaineers, who won for the fifth time in their past six games. Drew Spradlin paced Elon with 20 points.

MEMPHIS 77, ECU 57 MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Wesley Witherspoon scored 22 points and Doneal Mack added 15 as Memphis extended its Conference USA winning streak to 63 games with a 77-57 victory over East Carolina on Wednesday night. The victory pulled the Tigers (12-4, 2-0 C-USA) within one game of Kentucky’s 64 straight conference wins in the late 1940s — the longest such streak in NCAA history. However, the NCAA has ruled that the Tigers will forfeit their 38 wins — 19 of them in Conference USA play — in the 2007-08 season because of questions about guard Derrick Rose’s eligibility.

AMES, Iowa — Freshman Avery Bradley scored 24 points, including 16 in the second half, and topranked Texas survived its first Big 12 road test of the season by beating Iowa State 90-83 Wednesday night. Damion James added 23 points and 14 rebounds for the unbeaten

Longhorns (16-0, 2-0), who opened the second half with a 16-4 run and never trailed again. It was the Longhorns’ first game as the top-ranked team, and for the second straight game Bradley led the way.

Storm, Titans grab wins ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORTS

OLD DOMINION 70, UNC WILMINGTON 52

LENOIR – Davidson County Community College picked up its first win in three years at rival Caldwell Community College, sparked by 27 points from Roderick Geter on Wednesday night. The Storm prevailed 99-71 after leading by just four points at the half. The victory improved DCCC’s record to 13-4 overall and 4-0 in Region X. “We really clamped down and started getting stops in the second

half,” Storm coach Matt Ridge said. “We boxed out and did a good job of spreading the floor and passing ahead.” Three players scored 17 points in support of Geter: Derrick Mayo, Zack Williams and Phillip Williams. Robbie Rives added 10 points for the Storm, while Zack Williams – the former Trinity standout – added 11 rebounds. Davidson County plays host to Tidewater Community College on Saturday at 3 p.m. at Brinkley Gymnasium.

GTCC NOTCHES WIN CHARLOTTE – The Guilford Technical Community College men defeated Southern Carolina Prep 9471 on Wednesday in a non-league game. Alex Moore tallied 16 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Titans, who improved to 13-3 for the season. Travis Deshazior also had 16 points, while Chad Everette went 4-for-5 from 3-point range and finished with 14 points. GTCC welcomes Johnson County Community College to the Ragsdale YMCA on Saturday at 4 p.m.

WINSTON-SALEM – Glenn’s boys improved to 7-6 for the season with Wednesday night’s 66-48 win over Atkins in a nonconference matchup. Three players scored in double figures for the Bobcats, who led 16-10 after one quarter and outscored the Camels 22-14 in the third to take control.

WRESTLING CENTRAL DAVIDSON 54, EAST DAVIDSON 18 LEXINGTON – Central Davidson’s experienced lineup handed East Davidson a 54-18 defeat in Wednesday night’s Central Carolina 2A Conference meeting. The Golden Eagles got several strong performances in the loss, with Zach Brubaker winning by pin at 130 pounds and Gabriel Torres pinning his foe at 140. Jamar Harrington added a decision at 119 for East, as did Jordan Beal at 189 pounds. East (4-8, 0-2 CCC) is idle for exams next week and returns to the mats Saturday, Jan. 23, at the Concord Duals.

Celtics crush Nets, 111-87 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Paul Pierce scored 24 points in 28 minutes and the Boston Celtics quickly turned a mismatch on paper into just that on the court, beating the New Jersey Nets 111-87 on Wednesday night. Ray Allen added 15 points and Rajon Rondo had 11 points and 14 assists for the Celtics, who are playing without AllStar Kevin Garnett (right knee) and reserve Rasheed Wallace (sore left foot), but would’ve had to rest a few more guys to make this a fair fight.

Daly among those looking for fresh start on PGA Tour HONOLULU (AP) — John Daly couldn’t get past the front door, the best compliment he has had in years. Daly has lost about 100 pounds in the last nine months through lap-band surgery. He received a sponsor’s exemption to the Sony Open, so he agreed to host the pro-am party Tuesday night at a Honolulu hotel along with Rich Beem. Daly was late, although he had a good excuse. “They wouldn’t let me in,” he said. “If I weighed 300 pounds and had four chins, I’d have no problem getting in. No one recognized me.”

Indeed, the two-time major champion has a new look for the new season. The question is whether he has a new game. A year after he was serving a sixmonth suspension from the PGA Tour, Daly has yet another chance this year. He already has received two sponsor’s exemption, is in Pebble Beach on his own, and said The Greenbrier Classic in August has offered him a spot. He turns 44 this year and feels more pressure to perform than when he was a rookie in 1991, when he won the PGA Championship at Crooked Stick as the

ninth alternate to begin a wild ride. “I feel a tremendous amount of pressure, not from my sponsors, but from myself,” said Daly, whose only status comes from being a past champion. “My goal is to get my card. If I make enough money, fine. If I win, fine. Just so I can finally set up 2011 with a schedule.” Daly, however, isn’t alone. The tropical warmth of Honolulu brings a renewed sense of optimism for young and old, for the four PGA Tour rookies who have never teed it up in the big leagues to guys like 50-year-old Tom Lehman, making his 467th career start.

The Sony Open, which starts Thursday, is the first full-field event of the PGA Tour season. Among the newcomers is Brian Stuard, who went from the anguish of narrowly missing his card from the Nationwide Tour (No. 26 on the money list) to the thrill of earning it for the first time at Q-school. Stuard was a little wide-eyed showing up at Waialae Country Club, for even though the Sony Open doesn’t attract massive crowds being on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, it’s still more than he has seen at a tournament.

ESPN shifts bulk of Cup races from ABC CHARLOTTE (AP) — ESPN is shifting the bulk of its Chase for the Sprint Cup championship coverage to its cable network this season, taking 14 of the 17 NASCAR races it shares with partner ABC. ESPN executive vice president

John Skipper says the decision is based on the cable network’s higher ratings. ESPN has aired six races a year the past three seasons, while ABC has had 11 each year. ESPN’s portion of the NASCAR schedule will begin with the July 25

race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. ABC will air Saturday night races at Bristol, Richmond and Charlotte. One of ESPN’s races will be shorter. Auto Club Speedway in California announced its fall race will drop from 500 miles to 400 miles.

Athletes from Haiti await word from relatives INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Pierre Garcon waited for word as his mother frantically tried to reach relatives in Haiti. Three days before what is expected to be his first career playoff game, the Indianapolis Colts receiver was without his trademark smile. “Aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews. We still have not heard much from them, and my mom is still trying to call them,” Garcon said. “I’m keeping in contact with my mom. It’s tough to get in touch with people down there because of the phone lines.” Garcon and other athletes of Haitian

descent were devastated Wednesday by the powerful earthquake that struck the capital of Port-au-Prince a day earlier and is feared to have killed thousands — perhaps more than 100,000. The parents of WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto are from Haiti, and he has many relatives on the island. “Like many other Haitian-Americans, my family and I are working to reach my loved ones,” Berto said. “From what we have learned to this point, some of my family members are still missing, and we have already been informed that members of my family

have passed away in the earthquake.” The Miami native fought for Haiti at the Athens Olympics after barely missing the U.S. team. He’s scheduled to face Sugar Shane Mosley on Jan. 30 in Las Vegas in the biggest bout of the undefeated fighter’s pro career, but his training was interrupted by the tragedy. Berto (25-0, 19 KOs) has been heavily involved in charity work and relief efforts in Haiti for years. He’s working on another charity initiative to help Haiti’s recovery from his training camp in Winter Haven, Fla. Philadelphia 76ers center Samuel

Dalembert, who grew up in Haiti, told ESPN.com he has been able to reach his father, but others are left unaccounted for. “I can only imagine what people there are going through,” he said. “... It’s really killing me right now. ... It’s unthinkable. Imagine all the people just inside, and the building just collapses.” Garcon, a second-year player from Mount Union in Ohio, was born in Carmel, N.Y., and attended high school in Florida. But his parents immigrated to the United States from Haiti and most of his relatives still live there.

Bugel resigns as boss of Redskins’ Hogs ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Joe Bugel gave the Washington Redskins a unique identity. For much of the NFL’s history, offensive linemen were the league’s ho-hum, anonymous, oversized worker bees. Then, one day back in the 1980s, Bugel started calling his guys “the Hogs.” The Boss Hog himself retired Wednesday after 32 NFL seasons, an event worthy of a grand, emotional news conference in the Redskins auditorium. Eight of Bugel’s former players were on hand, as well as one of the “Hogettes” — that’s right, one of those male Redskins fans who dress in women’s clothes and pig snouts. The guest of honor gave a 10-minute speech without notes that could make even the most sedate couch potato want to get up and play for him.

“ N e v er be ashamed,” said Bugel, leaving the podium behind Bugel and walking to the center of the stage, “to look somebody in the face and tell them you love them.” Bugel said it’s “tough to walk away” and that he was asked to stay by new coach Mike Shanahan, but Bugel turns 70 in March and is ready to spend time with his family. “It’s time for the Buges to go in a different direction,” Bugel said. “I don’t know how long the Lord’s going to keep me around, but I’ve got two real nice places. “I’m anxious to see my house out (in Phoenix) — I know my wife redecorated it. ... We’re going to live the good life.”

Dash retains manager ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

WINSTON-SALEM – Joe McEwing, who won the 2009 Carolina League Manager of the Year in his first year guiding the Winston-Salem Dash, will return for a second season as the team moves from Wake Forest’s Gene Hooks Field to its new home at Winston-Salem’s new downtown park. The Dash finished first in the the first and second halves under former Major Leaguer McEwing, who hitting .251 with 25 home runs and 158 RBI in 754 games. He reached World Series in 2000 with New York Mets and also played for St. Louis, Kansas City and Houston. The Dash also an-

nounced that pitching coach Bobby Thigpen, hitting coach Robert Sasser, athletic trainer Josh Fallin and strength & conditioning coach Adam Tischler will return. “We are extremely fortunate to have Joe and the entire staff return for the exciting 2010 season in our new ballpark,” Dash vicepresident of baseball operations Ryan Manuel said. “Having the coaching staff intact following last year’s winning season is a huge advantage as we set our sites on winning the Carolina League Championship this year.” The Dash opens the season on the road April 8th with its home opener scheduled April 13.

Seau retires again

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning stretches before practice in Indianapolis on Wednesday.

Colts ready to gallop INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts felt like they spent last week at boot camp. Four-time MVP Peyton Manning tested himself against his own defense, the tempo was quick and the intensity increased. To first-year coach Jim Caldwell, this is how you use a bye week to get ready — not rusty — for the playoffs. “It really got the competitive juices flowing,” defensive end Dwight Freeney said. “The only difference between a game and a hard practice for the defense is the finishing of a tackle. We

are going full speed. We are running and we are fighting.” Worried Colts fans couldn’t seek a better endorsement for change, though they’ll certainly withhold judgment about the effectiveness of Caldwell’s new tactics until seeing results. The annual debate over Indy’s playoff preparation has generated national attention this year because of the team’s decision to rest starters and focus on the postseason rather than playing for a perfect season. The storylines are fa-

miliar to local fans. Since 1999, the Colts are 0-3 in the playoffs after earning first-round byes. Their next chance comes Saturday night against Baltimore in the first playoff game held at the 2-year-old Lucas Oil Stadium. Critics contend Indy’s postseason failures are the result of long breaks late in the season, which got the team’s timing offense out of sync. Rustiness. Those inside the Colts’ complex believe injuries — and tragedy — provide better explanations for the failures.

Supreme Court lukewarm on NFL antitrust protection WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Wednesday didn’t seem interested in immediately granting the National Football League the broad antitrust law protection the league is seeking. Justices seemed skeptical of arguments that the NFL should be considered one business, not 32 separate teams working together, when it comes to selling NFL-branded items. The lower courts had thrown out an antitrust lawsuit brought against the league by one of its former hat makers. American Needle, Inc. appealed the dismissal to the Supreme Court. But

the NFL also appealed, hoping to get broader protection from antitrust lawsuits. Major League Baseball is the only professional sports league with broad antitrust protection. The National Basketball Association, the National Hockey League, the NCAA, NASCAR, professional tennis and Major League Soccer are supporting the NFL in hopes the court will expand broad antitrust exemption to other sports. If the court rules broadly for the NFL, it could shield professional sports leagues from antitrust claims in several areas,

including player salaries, location of teams, video-game rights and television broadcasting rights. “You are seeking through this ruling what you haven’t gotten from Congress: an absolute bar to an antitrust claim,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor told NFL lawyers. NFL lawyer Gregg H. Levy said the league is making a narrower argument, as “long as the NFL clubs are members of a unit; if they compete as a unit in the entertainment marketplace ... they should be deemed a single entity” and not subject to antitrust law.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Junior Seau is retiring again and looking ahead to more time on his surfboard. The 12-time Pro Bowl linebacker, who came out of retirement to rejoin the New England Patriots in their sixth game this season, said in remarks taped for broadcast Wednesday night on Showtime that he’s ending his career. Seau played eight games for the Patriots this season, all as a backup, finishing with last Sunday’s 33-14 playoff loss to Baltimore in which he made a season-high five tackles. “That’s going to be my last game,” he said during the interview taped on Wednesday.

Boldin, Hayes miss practice TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Ailing Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin, along with inside linebacker Gerald Hayes, did not practice Wednesday. Boldin has been nursing left ankle and knee injuries he suffered in the Cardinals’ regular-season finale against Green Bay. He was inactive for their 51-45 overtime victory over the Packers in the first round of the NFC playoffs Sunday. The Cardinals play at New Orleans on Saturday. Hayes suffered a right ankle injury on the first play of the playoff game but played with it the rest of the way. Coach Ken Whisenhunt says both players are getting better, but both are likely to be a “game-day decision.” Steve Breaston started for Boldin last week and had seven receptions for 125 yards and a touchdown.

Vols want to move quickly on new coach KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Disappointed Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton doesn’t have anytime to waste replacing Lane Kiffin, whose abrupt resignation has left the Volunteers scrambling. The AD said he’d like to have someone in place before Sunday, when coaches are allowed to begin live recruiting again. Interim head coach Kippy Brown, tasked with holding together the program’s recruiting class, would prefer to have someone in place even sooner than that. “This is an absolutely

critical time for our program as it relates to wrapping up the recruiting and signing date time, so we will work very diligently toward trying to bring closure to this process,” Hamilton said Wednesday. The Volunteers are trying to hold together a recruiting class ranked as one of the best in the country. Brown is proceeding with plans made by Kiffin to host prospects on campus this weekend and would like to see the new head coach in place by Friday or Saturday to speak with those prospects.

Hamilton said he would be a day late on the decision if it meant hiring the right coach. Hamilton took a month before hiring Kiffin, though when asked to describe Kiffin’s tenure as coach, he had one word: “Brief.” The athletic director began his search Tuesday afternoon after officially learning Kiffin would be leaving and continued his search after meeting with the program’s eight mid-term enrollees and media Wednesday morning. One potential candidate

Hamilton is possibly focusing on is Texas defensive coordinator and coach-inwaiting Will Muschamp, a former assistant at LSU and Auburn, and a Georgia graduate. Tennessee associate athletic director of football operations David Blackburn said he had no knowledge of Muschamp traveling to Tennessee for an interview. Other coaches Hamilton may consider include Duke coach and former Tennessee offensive coordinator David Cutcliffe and East Carolina coach Skip Holtz.

Realtors embrace tax credit expansion Before you read...

Fifth in a six-part series.

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT — The firsttime homebuyer’s tax credit was greeted with open arms from Realtors when it went into effect last January. They only wished the government incentive, which originally offered up to $8,000 to first-time homebuyers toward the purchase of a home, would have opened its arms to a broader range of buyers earlier in the year. “We definitely were part of the National Association of Realtors who supported this,” said Jeannene Poarch, president of the High Point Regional Association of Realtors. “We asked all of our agents to support this, and we sent out a plea to the public to contact their local (political) representatives in support of the tax credit.” Ed Price, president of Price and Associates, had hoped the original tax credit would have extended previous homeown-

ers in its beginning, but he said he was “relieved and grateful” HOMEBUYER that some version TAX CREDIT of the tax credit was What you passed. should know “We took ■■■ the attitude that it was a whole lot better than nothing,” he said. Real estate agencies saw the impact of the tax credit, part of the economic stimulus bill, within the first months of 2009. By May, HPRAR had established a Presidential Advisory Group (PAG) to document the tax credit’s effects in the Triad. The final report, which surveyed 175 firms, found 42 percent of home sales in the Triad from the first five months of the year could be attributed to the tax credit. Price said he and his real estate agents also saw an immediate impact. “We started getting questions right away,” he said. “The credit also energized the people in this profession because it gave them something exciting to sell. It fired everyone up.”

SUNDAY: The ins and outs of the federal tax credit

FRIDAY: Program’s effects may spill over into other industries. Its success motivated Realtors to present their results to local representatives and lobby to extend the tax credit past its original deadline. “We presented the PAG report to our representatives giving the facts and figures of why this tax credit needed to be extended past the Nov. 30 deadline,” Poarch said. “We wanted it open to all buyers, and we wanted the amount increased from $8,000 to $15,000.” Real estate agents didn’t get everything they wanted, but the extension and expansion of the tax credit, signed by President Barrack Obama on Nov. 6, was enough to satisfy them. The new tax

credit, extended to April 30, keeps the same regulations for first-time buyers in place, but also added a $6,500 incentive for previous homeowners who have been in their current home for five of the past eight years. Come April 30, when the expanded tax credit comes to an end, Poarch expects the local housing market to be in a positive position and on its way to recovery. “We are so thrilled that the tax credit has been extended and expanded,” Poarch said. “We are looking forward to a continued positive outlook.”

LONDON (AP) — European and U.S. stock markets traded in narrow ranges Wednesday as sentiment continued to be dented by China’s moves to curb bank lending and by a relatively disappointing start to the U.S. fourth quarter corporate earnings season. In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares closed down 25.23 points, or 0.5 percent, at 5,473.48 while France’s CAC-40 rose a very slight 0.81 point to 3,998.27. Germanys DAX, which underperformed its European peers on Tuesday, ended up 20.14 points, or 0.3 percent at 5,963.14.

Apologetic bank leaders testify WASHINGTON (AP) — Wall Street executives said Wednesday they underestimated the severity of the 2008 financial crisis and apologized for risky behavior and poor decisions. They also defended their bonus and compensation practices to a skeptical U.S. commission investigating what caused the collapse. Americans are furious and “have a right to be” about the hefty bonuses banks paid out after getting billions of dollars in federal help, the commission’s chairman told chief executives of four major banks, all survivors of the deepest and longest recession since the Depression.

As the hearings opened before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, chairman Phil Angelides pledged “a full and fair inquiry into what brought our financial system to its knees.” The panel began its yearlong inquiry amid rising public fury over bailouts and bankers’ pay. “We understand the anger felt by many citizens,” said Brian Moynihan, chief executive and president of Bank of America. “We are grateful for the taxpayer assistance we have received.” “Over the course of the crisis, we as an industry caused a lot of damage,” Moynihan said.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The Hershey Co. is assembling a solo bid to acquire British candymaker Cadbury PLC without the help of Italian candymaker Ferrero International, a person familiar with Hershey’s plans told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The company has been working on parallel bids for Cadbury — one with Ferrero and one on its own. A potential bid is still being crafted, the person said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.

having repaid its bailout money, he said “the vast majority of our employees played no role in the economic crisis” and do not deserve to be penalized with lower compensation. Moynihan said compensation levels will be higher next year than they were in 2008 — but not at levels reached before the financial meltdown. Jamie Dimon, chief executive of JPMorgan Chase & Co., said most of his employees took “significant cuts in compensation” in 2008. He said his company would continue to pay people in a “responsible and disciplined manner” to attract and retain top talent.

House subpoenas Geithner’s e-mails WASHINGTON (AP) — A House committee probing bailout deals has subpoenaed the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for correspondence from Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and other officials. The House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee is examining New York Fed decisions that funneled billions of dollars to big banks including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley. Geithner was president of the New York Fed at the time. He approved

decisions involving the money from the bailout of failed insurer American International Group Inc., according to an earlier watchdog audit. In a statement Wednesday, committee chairman Rep. Edolphus Towns, DN.Y., said he had subpoenaed the New York Fed for documents about the decision to pay off AIG’s business partners and keep their names secret. The subpoena demands e-mails, phone logs and meeting notes from Geithner.

Banks, drugmakers lift stocks NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market closed higher Wednesday, led by gains in shares of banks and drugmakers, while energy companies were held back by a drop in crude oil. The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 53 points after trading above 10,700 for the first time in 15 months. Broader indicators also advanced. Treasury prices fell, pushing interest rates higher, after jumping on Tuesday. Financial stocks led the rally as the appearance of leading bank CEOs on Capitol Hill turned out to be less fractious than expected. The bankers endured scolding from lawmakers and acknowledged making missteps

during the financial crisis. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve provided some optimism about the economy in its report on regional economic conditions. The Fed’s Beige Book report said the economic recovery was spreading geographically, even though millions of Americans are still struggling to find jobs. The Dow rose 53.51, or 0.5 percent, to 10,680.77. The index traded above 10,700 for the first time since Oct. 3, 2008, rising as high as 10,709.26. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 9.46, or 0.8 percent, to 1,145.68, and the Nasdaq composite index rose 25.59, or 1.1 percent, to 2,307.90.

SEC proposes new broker rules WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators on Wednesday proposed new requirements for brokerage firms aimed at reining in risk from their trading customers who get split-second access to markets to buy or sell stocks. The Securities and Exchange Commission voted 5-0 to open the proposal for public comment for 60 days. At issue is so-called “unfiltered” or “naked” sponsored

access, in which brokerages that are approved to trade on exchanges rent out their access to them to unregulated clients such as highfrequency traders. They use mathematical models to exploit market imbalances and minute price differences. SEC officials said an estimated 38 percent of the daily trading volume in stocks and bonds on U.S. markets involves naked sponsored access.

Oil hits lowest levels of 2010

Visitors stand at the reception of the Google China headquarters in Beijing on Wednesday.

Google to end China censorship SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Google Inc. will stop censoring its search results in China and may pull out of the country completely after discovering that computer hackers had tricked human-rights activists into exposing their e-mail accounts to outsiders. The change of heart announced Tuesday heralds a major shift for the Internet’s search leader, which has repeatedly said it will obey Chinese laws requiring some politically and

DILBERT

socially sensitive issues to be blocked from search results available in other countries. The acquiescence had outraged freespeech advocates and even some shareholders, who argued Google’s cooperation with China violated the company’s “don’t be evil” motto. The criticism had started to sway Google cofounder Sergey Brin, who openly expressed his misgivings about the company’s presence in China. But the tipping point

didn’t come until Google recently uncovered hacking attacks launched from within China. The apparent goals: breaking into the computers of at least 20 major U.S. companies and gathering personal information about dozens of human rights activists trying to shine a light on China’s alleged abuses. Google spokesman Matt Furman declined to say whether the company suspects the Chinese government may have had a hand in the attacks.

NEW YORK (AP) — Oil and gas prices plunged to their lowest levels of the year Wednesday after the government reported that supplies grew more than expected. The Energy Information Administration said that the United States’ oil supply swelled by 3.7 million barrels last week, well above the average for this time of year. Gasoline supplies grew by 3.8 million barrels. Prices tumbled shortly after the report. Benchmark crude for February delivery gave up $1.48 to $79.31 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Crude fell as low as $78.37 earlier in the day.

Kraft lifts full-year earnings outlook NORTHFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Kraft Foods Inc., engaged in a hostile takeover bid for candy maker Cadbury PLC, boosted its full-year profit outlook for the second time in two months after logging strong operating gains, as it spent more on marketing its core brands. The food company, whose products include Maxwell House coffee and its namesake cheese, has reduced its product lines during the economic downturn in order to concentrate on its most profitable products. Kraft now anticipates 2009 earnings of at least $2 per share, compared with a prior forecast for a profit of at least $1.97 per share.
