TRIAD – A shift in focus from house shopping to Christmas shopping may be the reason for a decline in High Point home sales last month, officials said. Home sales in the city dropped 19 percent from November, when 115 units were sold, to December, when 93 units were sold, according to data released by the Triad Multiple Listings Service. Home sales were up 5 percent from the same time last year, however. The average sale price also dropped from $135,343 in November to $122,502 last month. At the same time last year, the average sale price was $164,268. “I think our December 2008 sales were negatively impacted by the sub-prime fiasco,” said Ed Terry, executive vice president of the High Point Regional Association of Realtors. “December 2009 sales were seasonal in terms of the market being less active due to people focusing on Christmas and fearing that the first-time homebuyer’s tax credit was missed and the program was extinct.” Home sales in the Triad area also fell 20 percent last month from November but were up 7 percent compared to last year. The average sale price of a home in the Triad rose from $151,863 to $168,526. The impact of the tax credit seemed to taper off in December after many homebuyers rushed to take advantage of the program before its original deadline of Nov. 30, said Ken Wall, newly elected president of HPRAR. Since the tax credit has been extended to April 30 and expanded to previous homeowners, Wall expects the tax credit to slowly build up momentum in the housing market again until its next deadline. “I’m expecting to see a good January market as buyers get passed the holidays and get back to looking at homes,” said Wall, with Providence Realty on Eastchester Drive. “We expect to see the activity increase and be really good over the first six months of the year due to the tax credit.” Wall said programs that went into effect this month, such as the Neighborhood Stabilization Program in High Point, may boost sales in the first half of the year. The program offers down payment assistance up to $7,500 in the form of a three-year deferred loan to eligible applicants. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Washington Drive residents welcome anti-crime initiative HIGH POINT – For years, John Frederick has watched the foot traffic come and go from crack houses half a block away from the historic church where he serves as a deacon. First Baptist Church on Washington Drive – the oldest AfricanAmerican church in the city – has soldiered on as open-air drug markets and other crime have taken a toll on the neighborhood, Frederick said. “You’ll see individuals making purchases and leaving, and sometimes people would leave the house and go to the car and service them and they would just drive off,” he said, adding that he believes such activity has kept people away from the church who would oth-

THOMASVILLE – Jean Robert Pierre, minister of First Haitian Sanctified Church of God in Thomasville, traveled with two members of his congregation to Greensboro on Friday morning out of desperation. The three natives of Haiti went to the local office of Rep. Howard Coble, R-6th District, for assistance in contacting friends and relatives whom they haven’t been able to contact since a 7.0-magnitude earthquake devastated Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, and

erwise come. “People are afraid. They don’t know whether these people are going to rob them or do something to them to get funds to feed their habits. It’s overrunning our church property.” Frederick and others said they were pleased that the High Point Police Department is devoting special attention to the Washington Drive corridor. Police have made the neighborhood the latest initiative area, targeting drug markets and associated violent crime. “People are happy that something is happening,” said the Rev. Frank Thomas of Mt. Zion Baptist Church on Washington Drive. “What dividend it will pay, we don’t know yet. But at this point, from my perspective, something is better than nothing, and if the police department thinks this initiative is going to affect it, then I

welcome it with open arms.” The police strategy centers on identifying key offenders from the area and developing criminal cases against them. Police also are trying to shut down and seize suspected drug houses on Hobson Street that they allege are at the center of criminal activity in the area, including shootings, assaults and all manner of drug crime. “One of the major frustrations I hear in the community is that sketchy things have been going on for a long time, and there has been the appearance that it’s acceptable. And that’s from possibly the lack of intervention from authorities – police, the city, whomever,” Thomas said. “So I think people feel like there has to be a noticeable police presence to make a difference.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Guilford resident exposed to rabid fox ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – A fox found on Horse Pen Creek Road in Greensboro became the county’s second rabies case of 2010, health officials reported this week. The rabid fox had contact with one person who is under medical supervision. The county had as many as 11 rabies cases in 2009, down from 23 cases in 2007. Earlier, the county health department reported that a skunk found off New Garden Road in Greensboro tested positive for the rabies virus. The skunk came into contact with several feral cats. Officials urged residents to make sure domestic pets were vaccinated against rabies, even if they are kept indoors. North Carolina law requires that all domestic pets 4 months of age and older to have vaccinations against rabies and that their vaccinations are kept current. This law applies even if pets are exclusively kept indoors. Health officials have

Missing loved ones. 1A BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – As with other recent major disasters, the response to human devastation from the Haitian earthquake has brought out the best and worst of humanity. The best involves the rush of people, including those across the greater High Point area, who want to donate money for relief agencies. The worst narrows to a nondescript group of reprobates across the world who see calamity as a chance to dupe donors. Consumer advocacy groups encourage people to give generously to the earthquake relief effort, but give with a sense of awareness. “Don’t let phoney charities divert your money from where it’s desperately needed in Haiti. Do your homework so that your contributions can do the most good possible,” said N.C.

The Better Business Bureau of Central North Carolina can provide guidance to people wanting to donate wisely to help the Haitian earthquake relief effort. The BBB serves Alamance, Caswell, Guilford, Randolph and Rockingham counties and city of Thomasville in Davidson County. (Davidson County outside of Thomasville is served by the BBB of Northwest North Carolina based in WinstonSalem.) For more information, call the BBB of Central North Carolina office in Greensboro at 632-4976. For a list of reputable charities, check the Web site http://www.interaction. Attorney General Roy Cooper. Consumer groups across the country already were noting Friday what could be fraudulent claims of help for Haiti, said Tom Corrigan, spokesman for the Better Business Bureau of Central North Carolina out of Greensboro.

People should be wary of unsolicited e-mails and text messages and pushy telemarketers seeking donations, the Attorney General’s Office reports. The best route is to go through established charities such as the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders or UNICEF, advises the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. “The safest way to donate is to call that organization and ask them what the best way is to donate money to them,” the CPA groups reports. The Internet and high-tech forms of communication allow relief agencies to raise money quickly, but also offer more opportunities for con artists, Corrigan said. The Internet and innovations such as Facebook and Twitter have made it easier for charities to reach donors during an emergency, he said. But the anonymity of the World Wide Web makes it convenient for frauds looking to dupe well-meaning but unsuspecting people. “It makes it easier to contribute and raise money and it makes it easier for the scammers,” Corrigan said.

RALEIGH (AP) – State Sen. Charlie Albertson, an advocate on agriculture, environmental and social issues who was recently elevated to a chief budgetwriting post, said Friday he won’t seek re-election this year. Albertson adds to the exodus by Senate Democrats since the Legislature adjourned last August. Four of the 30 Democrats in the 50-seat chamber have announced they won’t return after 2010 and two more already have resigned. The six include Majority Leader Tony Rand, who resigned

Barnyard pets such as goats, horses and cows also should be vaccinated against rabies for their protection against the deadly virus. Unvaccinated pets exposed to a rabid animal must be euthanized or confined for six months in a veterinarian’s facility at the owner’s expense. Raccoons are the primary reservoir for rabies in North Carolina, but the disease also is common in skunks and foxes and can be found in dogs, cats, horses, cattle and other animals. Even though the weather has been cold, rabies continues to circulate within the wildlife population, according to health officials.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – Pushed to the far edge of desperation, earthquake-ravaged Haitians dumped decaying bodies into mass graves and begged for water and food Friday amid fear that time is running out to avoid chaos and to rescue anyone still alive in the wreckage. The U.S. military brought some relief, taking control of the airport, helping coordinate flights bringing in aid and evacuating foreigners and the injured. Medical teams, meanwhile, set up makeshift hospitals, workers started to clear the streets of corpses and water was being distributed in pockets of the city. But the task was enormous. Aid workers and authorities warned that unless they can quickly get aid to the people, Portau-Prince will degenerate into lawlessness. There were reports of isolated looting as young men walked through downtown with machetes, and robbers reportedly shot one man whose body was left on the street.

Thanks to all for helping Christmas Cheer Fund The Christmas Cheer Committee of the Kiwanis Club of High Point once again thanks the High Point community for its unwavering financial support of our project. As we planned for this year’s effort, we were concerned that our fundraising prospects would be limited due to the demands of other worthwhile causes and dire economic conditions affecting much of our community. Our concerns were obviously misplaced, however, as generous individuals and businesses continued to share as in past seasons. Contributions to the fund made it possible to provide toys and books to the children of approximately 1,500 families. Once again, the committee is indebted to the Rev. Fred Bass and the congregation of Mount Vernon Baptist Church for the use of their fellowship hall. Having a warm, secure environment for distribution is critical to our success, and we are grateful for their hospitality. On toy distribution day, the young ladies of Girl Scout Troops 448, 512 and 190 assisted us. Their youthful energy and enthusiasm amplified the fun and festivities of the giveaway process. In closing, we also express our gratitude to The High Point Enterprise as our longtime partner for the role you play in our fundraising efforts and delivering our story to the community.

Her comments demonstrate a lack of tolerance Based on her previous screeds, I’m not surprised that Carol Cox (Your View, Jan. 13) doesn’t mind filling the letter column with her bigoted tripe. I’m only wondering if she knows how bigoted it sounds, or just doesn’t care. She writes “only Muslims have used suicide bombing against the U.S. They should be the ones inconvenienced by long security lines and extra scrutiny. Perhaps the moderate Muslims would then be motivated to take a more active role in the fight against terrorism.” That’s like saying all Christian, white, gun owners that are exmilitary should have their homes raided because Tim McViegh blew up a building.

Let’s shut the “Negro-gate” before it opens BY DUSTY SCHOCH

I really try hard to focus on the important stuff these days – like global warming, our country’s fiscal and foreign policy bankruptcy, and celebrating the fact that America united and ousted one neo-conservative war monger and replaced him with what appeared to be at the time the opposite. An earthquake just rendered homeless one in three already-destitute Haitians. So, I’m a little ashamed of the fact I still feel compelled to slam dunk High Point’s own Armstrong Williams for his essay (Jan. 13 column) slamming Sen.

Oh, they stood for less government, and it seemed that they weren’t for government programs dealing with health care or the environment. They left everything alone. I wanted an actionoriented government, a government that served the people. I am a moderate Democrat today. As such, I can imagine circumstances that would lead me to voting for a solid Republican. What kind of GOPer could take my vote from the Democrats? My nod goes to problem-solvers, and the most immediate dilemma facing America now is a lack of good jobs. I would crossover to vote for a man or woman who promised

jobs to the American people, who had a plausible jobs plan, and the gumption to carry it out. Yet, the GOP defines itself in opposition to the OPINION Democrats. It has been called the Kristine party of “No.” Kaiser It gives no plan ■■■ or positive idea and seems to wait for the Democrats’ destruction. It stands ready to make failures political, to gain in the polls from the missteps of others. It is like the common crow, the bird that only waits for mishap for its sustenance. The GOP is waiting for a strong negative backlash in order to be put back into power. What does it have to offer then? Such a strategy might make sense from a political standpoint, but the method is a disaster for the beloved country.

used GOP leadership, sadly until there are no unique or outlined souls. It is time for another gifted individual. The GOP should cast off its penchant for toadies at the highest levels and let geniuses have their chance to restore a nation. Surely, there are visionaries as right and personable as Ronald Reagan. There are younger people who are ready to lead. Some might say that it is not for a Democrat to give advice to the GOP. Still, I believe that I am like a lot of citizens who want an element of choice in politics. In an election, it would be nice to have two high-powered centrist candidates on a presidential ballot.

‘Fundamentalism’: Who thought of that name?

N

ames are everywhere. Everyone has three (or four or five), and some people even know where their name originated. Every name has a story behind it, even if we have forgotten what that story is. Sometimes knowing the story behind a name can help better understand what a name means. Perhaps this will be so with the name “fundamentalism.” There are probably as many different definitions of “fundamentalism” as there are opinions about it. Therefore, let’s look at how the name developed and see what the first “fundamentalists” thought of that name. In order to tackle the issue properly, we have to go back to the mid-1800s in America. As most people know, Charles Darwin wrote a book which many link with evolution. The name of the book is Origin of the Species. It was published in 1859 and caused quite a stir. But his book was only one among a handful of new ideas that stirred America. The emerging modern sciences questioned long-held biblical ideas: not only did Darwin’s

ideas question the origins of humanity, but the developing field of geology questioned the age of the earth. Bible studies STUDYING witnessed new THE CHURCH ideas in the field of “higher criticism” of the Mark Bible. In short, Nickens this view ana■■■ lyzes the Bible as if it were a book. Some scholars claimed that parts of the Bible were added later and that Paul did not write all the letters ascribed to him. The world was becoming smaller (even then) and the field of comparative religions (studying different religions) came into vogue. This caused some people to question the truthfulness of Christianity. And finally, William James published his The Varieties of Religious Experience in 1902. His book questioned whether religious experiences were truly from God or were being sub-consciously formed by the person

in order to satisfy a need which the person created himself. OK, that is deep, but it illustrates the point. Many Christians felt that Christianity was

Some scholars claimed that parts of the Bible were added later and that Paul did not write all the letters ascribed to him. being attacked from a variety of directions at the same time. The response? A number of Christian groups published lists of required beliefs. For instance, in 1910 the General Assembly of the Northern Presbyterian Church published a “Doctrinal Deliverance,” which listed five required beliefs: the inerrancy (no mistakes) of the Bible, the virgin birth of Christ, his sacrifice for sins on the cross, his bodily resurrection and his miracles.

Fax number 888-3644 or e-mail pblevins@hpe.com.

In addition, a wealthy California oilman named Lyman Stewart and his brother Milton decided to gather articles from concerned Christian leaders and published them in books. This idea grew into a twelve volume series of ninety articles which were published from 1910-1915. The Stewarts sent out approximately 3,000,000 free copies in an attempt to combat what they saw as attacks on Christianity by science. The name of the series? The Fundamentals. Yet people who held to a set of non-negotiable beliefs were not called “fundamentalists” yet. That occurred in 1920. Curtis Lee Laws was an editor of a magazine called The Watchman Examiner. In the July 1 issue he wrote an article which included the line: “We suggest that those who still cling to the great fundamentals and who mean to do battle royal for the fundamentals shall be called ‘Fundamentalists.’ ” And the rest, as they say, is history.

The LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. Numbers 6:25

Fear and anger are natural human emotions and it is perfectly appropriate to feel them in the appropriate circumstances. These emotions, which are closely allied with our bodies’ “fight or flight” reactions, are natural mechanisms for self-preservation. It is clearly a good thing to feel fear when in the presence of real danger or anger. Fear and anger are a bit like warning bells or alarms, telling us that we need to fight or flee, but sometimes the alarm is going off and there’s no real danger. Some politicians and certain media outlets are good at stroking fear and anger, and seem bent on keeping us in a perpetual state of fear and anger. If a tornado is heading your way, it’s probably appropriate to be fearful (and to get in the basement), but should we really be angry or fearful about national or These things I have spoken unto international politics? We should not be passively you, that in me ye might have resigned in the face of politics. People should be informed and get involved in local, state and national politics, but we need not get overly disturbed about it. The real peace. In the world ye shall have problem with all of the fear and anger generated these days is how unproductive and tribulation: but be of good cheer; debilitating it is. It keeps the talking heads happy, but it leaves the rest of us fearful, I have overcome the world. angry, and powerless to do much about it. So, perhaps we should keep our heads John 16:33 calm and unruffled, and save the fear and anger for when we really need it. The fifth spiritual work of mercy is to bear wrongs patiently. Bearing wrongs patiently does not, however, mean being a doormat for others to walk on. It simply means that, regardless of the wrongs which we suffer, we should bear them all patiently. For example, if you have had something stolen from your unlocked car, this virtue requires that you treat this with patience and equanimity, but not that you continue to keep your car unlocked. It is more about the attitude that you have concerning the wrong done to you. We might take a lesson from the ancient stoics, who counseled that every event has two handles, as it were, one by which it can be borne and one by which it is unbearable. Remember that everything here is temporary and that liars, thieves, and even murderers really have no power over our immortal souls. Finally, consider the example of Jesus in his last days. Faced with false charges and inhuman torture and suffering, he prayed for his accusers and tormentors. We should show patience by praying for those who wrong us, realizing that they are the ones who have truly been harmed by their misdeeds. For one is approved if, mindful of God, he endures pain while suffering unjustly. For what credit is it, if when you do wrong and are beaten for it you take it patiently? But if when you do right and suffer for it you take it patiently, you have God’s approval. R.S.V. 1 Peter 2:19-21

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration is conducting an intense security review as part of a plan to bring one of the world’s most notorious terrorism suspects from Guantanamo Bay to Washington for a trial just steps from the Capitol, officials said. Republican critics said the plan would make the city more dangerous, risk compromising U.S. intelligence methods and provide a powerful and expensive bullhorn for Osama bin Laden’s alleged lieutenant, Riduan Isamuddin, and two associates. Isamuddin, better known as Hambali, is believed to be the main link between al-Qaida and Jemaah Islamiyah, the terror group blamed for the 2002 bombing at a Bali nightclub that killed 202 people. The plan is under review at the Justice Department. Officials said a decision could come in a matter of weeks.

Student-athletes face new GPA rules ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – The new academic requirements for high school students to participate in sports start Wednesday. Under new “Fair Play” guidelines, all high school students in Guilford County Schools will be required to have a 1.5 weighted GPA to participate in athletics. The Guilford County Board of Education adopted the new guidelines last August. Current winter sport teams will be the first group directly affected by the new policy. Athletic eligibility is determined by semester, not by sport season. Even though

Fair Play: A new code requires signed student residency and honor code statements before athletes can participate in any contest. Also, students, parents and coaches pledge to abide by the state athletic association’s eligibility requirements. On the Web: www.gcsnc.com or visit the NCHSAA Web site at www. nchsaa.org. To report suspected athletic-eligibility violations, e-mail fairplay@gcsnc.com or call (336) 574-2994.

eligibility was verified for winter sport athletes at the beginning of the season, eligibility will have to be confirmed for athletes to continue into the second semester. A

student’s GPA from first semester courses determines eligibility for the second semester. “Coaches, athletic directors and principals are aware of the new

minimum requirements and are communicating the expectations to our athletes,” said Leigh Hebbard, GCS director of athletics. Next year, students will be required to have a 2.0 weighted GPA. The new requirement is in addition to requirements established by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association. District leaders decided to update the district policy following reports of a dozen eligibility violations in 10 sports at Northern Guilford High School where the boys basketball team was stripped of its state championship as a result of the athletic association’s findings.

GUILFORD COUNTY – Nine area colleges will collaborate this month to offer ways for students to participate in the Martin Luther King Day of Service. Although the holiday is Monday, a variety of events honoring King’s memory will continue through Jan. 29 for the “Sit In. Stand up. March On” program. Participating will be students from Bennett College, Davidson County Community College, Greensboro College, Guilford Technical Community College, Guilford College, N.C. School of the Arts, Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem State University and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. The MLK Day of Service was established by federal legislation in 1994, but the area campuses will come together for the first time for a joint celebration of the legacy of the civil rights leader. The event logo was designed by GTCC student and High Point resident Kelsey Wagner, who was the winner of a contest sponsored by the participating colleges. The illustration has the slogan beneath three restaurant stools. Wagner said she hopes to work as a graphic designer when she finishes the advertising and graphic design program at GTCC. Volunteer sites in the High Point area include: • 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m., Monday: Davidson County Community College MLK Challenge; Opening ceremony will be 9 –10 a.m. • Path of Hope – organizing, refurbishing and painting site, 1675 E.

Wheatmore High to open new auto tech lab BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

RANDOLPH COUNTY – Students at the new Wheatmore High will be introduced Thursday to the school’s Automotive Services Technology Lab. Principal Eric Johnson said crews have just finished retrofitting the lab, where 70 students this semester will spend plenty of time under the hood of vehicles. Joining Randleman High, Wheatmore now is the second high school in the Randolph County Schools system to have an automotive services technology lab. “I worked formerly at Randleman High School, right next door to that program area,” Johnson said. “I see the benefit. It benefits our students greatly. That’s one of the job sectors that they haven’t found a way to offshore yet. It provides a great opportunity.” Mike Roth, who was inspired by Ragsdale High School automotive instructor Bill White in the 1970s

to work on cars, is Wheatmore’s automotive instructor. Roth, who has been an automotive instructor for nearly 20 years, is using a 1973 Chevrolet Nova SS that he has completely restored

and teachers’ as well,” he said. “We are going to do live projects. Students, students’ parents, faculty members, they can drop off their cars – just as long as it’s in line with what we are doing in the curriculum.” Ann Callicutt, director of career technical education for Randolph County Schools, said the system believes the automotive field is a “great career opportunity” for students. “We see it as a life skill as well, but as a career opportunity because we try to meet both types of need,” she said. “I also think the racing industry in this area sparks that interest and is a neat connection for students.” The lab includes a lift, a compressor, tire changer, an electronic wheel balance and shower to wash off hazardous materials, Roth said. Students first will get a lesson on safety before using any of the equipment. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Douglas Battery business sold MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WINSTON-SALEM – Douglas Battery Manufacturing Co., a long-time Winston-Salem manufacturer, said Friday that it has sold its industrialbattery business to EnerSys, the world’s largest maker and distributor of industrial batteries. The deal will result in the eventual elimination of 90 jobs, according to a WARN Act notice filed by Douglas to the mayor’s office. The companies did not disclose a purchase price. EnerSys is based in Reading, Pa. Douglas has been a fixture in Winston-Salem since G. Wilson Douglas Sr. founded the company in 1921. Douglas has been manufacturing and selling industrial batteries and chargers since 1960. EnerSys said that the deal primarily involves Douglas’ brand and designs for the line of industrial batteries and chargers. EnerSys said it would keep Douglas’ existing sales team, manufacturer’s representatives and distributors. Richard Zuidema, an executive vice president for EnerSys, said that the deal does not include Douglas’ manufacturing operations. He said that Douglas will continue to provide industrial batteries to EnerSys “for a period of time.” “The extensive breadth of EnerSys’ product and service offerings is further enhanced by the purchase of Douglas Battery’s industrial battery business,” said John Craig, the chairman, president and chief executive of EnerSys.

A few sponsors and volunteers also will convey their feelings about being part of such a large endeavor. The show will tell the stories that “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” doesn’t have the time to share within the show’s one-hour time slot. The makeover edition will go through the process of building a house, and ABC-45 will show what it takes to get to the building point.

Phlox is thrifty but does a valuable job Y

our grandmother probably grew Phlox subulata in her landscape as a thrifty plant. It was thrifty because it grows in poor soil, drought and full sun, but it also helps control erosion on hilly sites. Best of all, it sports a low-growing, carpetlike mossy appearance and is covered with brilliant flowers for 3 to 6 weeks in early spring. Also called creeping phlox, thrift is evergreen with linear, needlelike foliage that mounds about 4 to 6 inches high. Varieties can be found in red, blue, pink and white flower colors that bloom in March. Apple Blossom is white with a ruby eye. Candy Stripe is white with a pink stripe on each petal. In the Piedmont there is also a native species that grows slightly taller, from 6 to 12 inches high, but otherwise looks the same as hybrid thrift varieties. It is Phlox stolonifera,

which grows and spreads by underground rhizomes and is pink in flowering forms. Along with subulata, these two speECOLOGY cies are great perennial flowers Gwyn that spread and Riddick produce more ■■■flowers each year. Another terrific perennial flower that can be found as a ground cover is dianthus. There are hundreds of varieties of dianthus if you include annual and perennial cultivars. Known by many other common names such as “cheddar pinks,� “pinks� and “maiden pinks,� they offer a diverse color palette and are easy to grow. Dianthus has at least 300 species and in Greek means “flower of the gods.� There are four

species generally recognized as good in the landscape. Dianthus barbatus is a short-lived perennial or biennial, but newer varieties are annual-flowering. The blooms of the species and many hybrids have a central spot – or eye – and can be red, pink, white and bicolors. Flowers appear in dense clusters in late spring or early summer and may be fragrant. Dianthus chinensis, also known as China pinks, can be an annual or biennial or shortlived perennial. They produce single (occasionally double), small, scentless flowers intermittently all summer. These carefree plants need little maintenance; deadheading is not required for them to continue to bloom. Dianthus deltoides known as maiden pink, forms evergreen tufts or mats. Plants are very hardy. One of the few Dianthus to grow well in partial shade,

it produces small flowers from summer to fall. It is great for rock gardens and hillsides as a ground cover. The Perennial Plant Association selected Dianthus gratianopolitanus, “Firewitch,� as their Plant of the Year in 2006. This species of cheddar pinks has spicy clove-scented flowers (the sweet fragrance of carnations) which face upward for maximum color impact. This German cultivar is one of the bluest-foliaged, one of the most tolerant of heat and varying soil conditions, and is one of the longest flowering of the many types of Dianthus. irewitch is an excellent plant for the front of the flower border or as edging. According to the Wisconsin Extension Service, Firewitch has “single, shocking magentapink blossoms that are nearly fringed on the edges. They are attractive to butterflies and

make excellent cut and dried flowers. The plants bloom heavily from late spring into early summer, sporadically throughout the summer, and often rebloom in early fall, particularly when deadheaded consistently.� Dianthus grows best in loose, well-drained, and neutral-toslightly alkaline soils in full sun. It tolerates light shade, particularly in the afternoon. I like to grow the deltoides and the gratianopolitanus types for best results in my landscape.

Santa Barbara touts connections to ‘It’s Complicated,’ other films SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) – If you liked the backdrop for “It’s Complicated,� the new comedy about love and divorce starring Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, you might enjoy a visit to Santa Barbara, where parts of the movie were set. Santa Barbara’s Conference and Visitors Bureau has set up a dedicated Web site for fans of the film at www.santabarbaraca.com/filmtour/its-complicated. In addition to scenes filmed in residential areas of Montecito, about 5 miles from Santa Barbara, other scenes were shot in front of downtown landmarks including the Santa Barbara County Courthouse and

historic El Paseo, California’s first shopping center, which dates to the 1920s. Santa Barbara is also celebrating a century of filmmaking this year. An early silent movie studio called the Flying A opened there in 1910, and many movies have shot scenes in the area over the decades, from Cecil B. DeMille’s “The Ten Commandments� (1923) to “Sunset Boulevard� (1950) to “Sideways� (2004). For detailed information on local movie sites and history, visit www.SantaBarbaraCA.com/filmtour. In addition, the city hosts the 25th annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival Feb. 4-14.

Dear George: Neither. After 20 years of dating and marriage, it’s time to grow up. You have a happy, successful marriage – so why are you wasting time obsessing about the distant past? If

you have digestive problems, discuss them with your doctor or a therapist. ADVICE But to ask your Dear wife for a Abby scorecard ■■■at this late date will be counterproductive, and I doubt that it will fix what ails you. And in the future – skip the reunions. Dear Abby: I am a 12year-old girl who attends a private middle school. When I go to school, I see girls my age wearing a little bit of makeup. When I try to sneak off to school with a little bit on my face, my parents wipe it off and say I’m beautiful just the way I am, although I disagree. Abby, I will be 13 next month! I’m absolutely positive that I can handle makeup without going overboard. But when I say it to my parents, they still forbid me to wear or buy any. How do I

convince them that I’m mature enough to handle this? – Not Immature in NYC Dear Not Immature: Your parents regard you as their little girl and may be hoping to keep you that way for another year. One of the hallmarks of maturity is being honest with your parents. If you want to convince them that you’re mature enough to handle makeup, perhaps you should consider not sneaking out of the house wearing any. Prove to them that you can be trusted, and they’ll have faith in your judgment – and I’m not just talking about makeup. Dear Abby: I have been arguing with my husband over something, and I hope you can settle it once and for all. When he gets out of the shower, he leaves the curtain open. I prefer to keep it closed because I think it looks nicer to see a closed shower curtain in the bathroom. My husband insists

Dear Steamy: I did some checking, and was told by a major hotel chain that its housekeeping staff leaves the shower curtains pushed to the side (open) so air can flow through. However, those curtains are laundered frequently. I also contacted the bed and bath department of a national department store chain, and the manager suggested leaving the curtain halfway open in the middle of the shower – open at both ends – to allow the air to circulate. That may be a satisfying compromise to both of you.

ear Abby: My wife, “Jana,� and I have been married 15 years. She’s the love of my life. I can’t imagine living without her. We have three beautiful children, successful careers and a nice home. We have a great relationship, and I trust her completely. Before we dated, Jana ran with a fast crowd. She was also somewhat promiscuous back then. Don’t get me wrong, there are things from my past that I’m not proud of, either. But it bothers me that her “adventures� exceeded mine. We went to Jana’s class reunion last fall, and I met several friends from her past. Each guy I met, I couldn’t help but wonder if he had slept with my wife. I know about some of her old boyfriends, but not all. I think Jana knows this bothered me, but she doesn’t know how much. I literally became nauseated thinking about her past. After almost 20 years of dating and marriage, I thought I’d be over it. Should I press her for more details or just live with the knots in my stomach? – Curious George in Louisville

A few years ago, I got flying lessons as a birthday gift. (I enjoyed them but never pursued a license.) I recall one bit of wisdom from my instructor: He said a good pilot never lands his plane where his mind hasn’t landed five minutes earlier. When today’s deal arose in a money game, South zoomed into six clubs, and West led the king of spades and shifted to a trump. (A diamond shift would have been best.)

ENTRIES South played a low trump from dummy without filing a flight plan, thereby chucking 1,530 points and enough cash to buy a lot of aviation fuel. He lacked the dummy entries to set up and cash a long spade; he had to try the diamond finesse, which lost. South must plan carefully. He wins the trump shift with the king, ruffs a spade, ruffs a heart and ruffs a spade. South ruffs his queen of hearts with dummy’s last trump and ruffs a spade. He can then draw trumps, take the AK of hearts and win the last two tricks with the ace of diamonds and the good spade.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S Q J 9 8 4 H None D A Q J 10 2 C K 8 7. Your partner opens one heart, you bid one spade, he rebids two hearts and you try three diamonds. Partner then rebids three hearts. What do you say? ANSWER: Your partner has long hearts but minimum values. If he had a more promising hand, he could have jumped to four hearts at his third turn. Moreover, your chances at 3NT would be poor: You’d lack transportation and a ready source of tricks. Pass. North dealer Both sides vulnerable

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

Judge says Walla Walla police can keep $401,000 WALLA WALLA, Wash. (AP) – The Walla Walla Police Department can keep $401,000 officers found in a vacant house. Walla Walla Superior Court Judge Donald Schacht ruled Thursday that the cash be forfeited as drug money and a man

who claimed it is not the rightful owner. Officers responding to a noise complaint in 2006 found the money at a house. An investigation led officers to methamphetamine, marijuana and cocaine at a storage unit in Oregon.

A man caught attempting to flee out the back of the house initially said the money was not his but later tried to claim it. Police Officer Tim Bennett says the department can only use the money for drug enforcement.

How much water is enough?

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I am 64 years old and stay fit with daily bike rides, walks, kayaking, swimming in the summer and cross-country skiing in the winter. I feel terrific. I never drink water. I have never felt thirsty in my life. I have been told that everyone should drink several glasses of water a day, but I can’t get into the habit. Should I force myself to do so? I feel that “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” – L.P.

BLONDIE

It’s hard to argue against the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” maxim. However, there are two issues in your question: daily hydration needs and exercise hydration needs. On a daily basis, we require about 2.5 liters (2.6 quarts) of liquid a day. Notice the word “liquid.” All liquids count, not just water. Even solid foods have lots of liquid in them. Many vegetables and fruits are, for the most part, 90 percent liquid. Meats and baked goods contain liquids. The rule that a person should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day is an old rule. It’s not necessary to take in that much water every day. You can let thirst be your guide. At older ages, thirst sensation becomes blunted, and older people have to remind themselves to drink fluids. Perhaps without ever feeling thirsty, you might benefit by drinking a couple of glasses of water. However, you can check your hydration status by the color of your urine. Pale-yellow urine indicates adequate hydration. Dark-yellow urine is a sign that you’re on the dry side and need

some liquid. Coffee and tea count as hydrating liquids. Alcohol is a question mark. HEALTH Hydration for active Dr. Paul athletDonohue ics and ■■■ exercise is another matter, particularly in hot weather when there is heavy sweating. You can estimate your fluid loss in these circumstances by weighing yourself before and after exercise. Weight loss that occurs during exercise is liquid weight loss. A decrease of 1 percent to 2 percent in body weight indicates mild dehydration. A decrease of more than 2 percent is a level of dehydration that affects performance. A loss of 9 percent of body weight approaches an emergency situation. If you have lost more than 2 percent of your body weight, drink fluids; plain water will do. Dear Dr. Donohue: Is there any type of exercise a teenager can do before playing high-school soccer? My daughter gets terrible leg cramps during a game and has to come out. She has played soccer for many years. – M.E. Exercise-induced muscle cramps is a subject about which good scientific knowledge is lacking. Dehydration; loss of sodium, potassium and magnesium; and fatigue have all been incriminated as causes. Another explanation is that people with a tendency to cramp have

muscles with increased electrical activity. What to do for that is never stated. Have your daughter try this. Three to four hours before practice or competition, she drinks a sports drink and eats a handful of pretzels. Before she starts, she warms up her leg muscles by running in place, not at a great speed but just enough to get blood flowing to her muscles. Dear Dr. Donohue: I read with interest your article about loss of muscle tissue and a decrease in strength as we get older. I am 72. I jog for 2 or 3 miles five times a week. I also bike outdoors during good weather and use a stationary bike in the winter. Included in my exercise program is stair-climbing. I wonder if I need to add resistance exercise to my program. I have never lifted weights and wonder if the benefits outweigh the risks. – J.D. Jogging, biking and stair-climbing count as resistance exercise, musclebuilding exercise. You’re propelling body weight. You could do more bodyweight exercises by squatting and rising on your toes. In squatting, don’t touch your buttocks to your heels. Only bend the knees to a level in which the thighs are parallel to the ground.

Cowgirls topple Bison

BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – The Bison girls are undefeated no more. Trailing 42-35 at the end of the third, Southwest Guilford went on a 12-2 run to begin the fourth and took a 47-44 lead with four minutes to go. The Cowgirls spent the remainder of the game trying to ward off an epidemic of cramps long enough to put the finishing touches on High Point Central’s first loss of the year, 54-48. According to Bison coach Kenny Carter, Southwest played “harder longer” to narrowly escape. “Did they play smart? No. Did we play smart? No,” Carter lamented. “We made poor, poor decisions.” Zena Lovette had a gamehigh 20 points and Shanel Lawrence added 12 to power Southwest (8-6, 3-1 Piedmont Triad 4A). Twenty-four turnovers were committed by each team. It was the Cowgirls’ grind-it-out style, however, that carried the day. The Bison (13-1, 4-1 Piedmont Triad 4A) were unable to obtain an offensive rhythm thanks in part to the length of Southwest’s defenders. Guards Cedrica Gibson, Sara Cox and Katie Bryson were dogged throughout the night by Lovette and Lawrence – athletic members of an oversized backcourt. “I think our size (gave Southwest the advantage),” Cowgirls coach Jessica Bryan said. “Pressure from both teams forced a lot of turnovers. I was just focused on keeping our composure.” Arielle Harris’s multi-faceted game made a sizeable impact on both ends of the floor for the Bison, as she contributed 10 points and four steals. Gibson added 11. See the boys game on 3C.

UNC’s Zeller out for 4-6 weeks CHAPEL HILL (AP) – North Carolina coach Roy Williams says 7-footer Tyler Zeller will miss four to six weeks because of a stress fracture in his right foot. The sophomore is averaging 9.6 points and 4.6 rebounds off the bench for the 12th-ranked Tar Heels. Zeller missed Wednesday’s loss

at Clemson as a precaution. The next day, a bone scan disclosed the injury after MRIs showed nothing earlier this week. It is the second straight season Zeller will miss significant time. Last year, he broke his left wrist during an early-season victory against Kentucky. He was out three months, but decided to use a year

of eligibility and return to help the Tar Heels win the national championship. Carolina looks to bounce back from Wednesday night’s loss at Clemson when Georgia Tech visits the Smith Center today. The game tips off shortly after 2 p.m. and will be televised live by ESPN.

HPU men look to enjoy Coastal success BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

CONWAY, S.C. – It remains too early in the Big South Conference season for teams to worry about one loss. Making sure one defeat doesn’t snowball, however, is of utmost importance. The High Point University men visit Coastal Carolina today at 2 p.m. in a game featuring a pair of teams coming off disappointing defeats. High Point (9-7, 4-2) led most of the way Thursday night at Charleston Southern before falling 73-69, while Coastal (16-3, 6-1) dropped its first league contest of the year in a 62-52 home setback to Radford. “It’s one loss,” Panthers coach Scott Cherry said Thursday.

Inside...

----

HPU women play host to Winthrop today. 4C “We’re 4-2 and Radford’s 5-1 and Coastal’s 6-1, so we’re right there in the hunt.” To become one of the hunted among Big South contenders, the Panthers must play better in endof-game situations. HPU’s fivegame winning streak was snapped thanks to a bevy of turnovers in the latter stages and players going away from what made the first half such a success. “Our guys were trying and they were battling, but our guys came unraveled a little bit at the end,” Cherry said. “And that’s disap-

pointing to me. That won’t happen again. We started forcing up shots. We started letting them dribble-drive on us to get to the rim with no help. That’s not our team defense and that’s not what got us here.” The defense certainly won’t be able to rest today against a Chanticleer squad that saw its 12-game winning streak snapped Thursday. Coastal owns the league’s second-best scoring offense at 75.9 points per game – behind only run-and-gun VMI’s 90.3 – and the conference’s best scoring defense at 60.3 ppg. It all starts with impressive senior forward Joseph Harris, who averages 15.5 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. The Panthers may have added motivation to keep Harris off the

boards today. He needs just 12 rebounds to set the Big South’s alltime rebounding record of 1,013 – set by HPU great Arizona Reid two years ago. Sure, he’ll get the mark eventually, but why not against somebody else? Coastal’s impressive start comes after the Chants were picked eighth in the preseason poll. Junior forward Chad Gray (15.2 points per game) and senior guard Mario Edwards (10.8) also have sparked the Chants this year and hope to continue a string of recent success against the Panthers. HPU has lost four of its last five to Coastal. Enterprise correspondent Evan Lepler contributed to this report. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

HIT AND RUN

A

rizona’s Kurt Warner could take the field for the last time as an NFL quarterback when the Cardinals visit New Orleans today (4:30 p.m., WGHP, Ch. 8). Reports suggest the 38-year-old Warner plans to retire at the end of this season. I hope he reconsiders. Warner’s story is the stuff of legend. He signed with the Green Bay Packers in 1994 as an undrafted free agent, but did not make the cut. Stints with the Arena Football League’s Iowa Barnstormers (1995–1997) and the World

Football League’s Amsterdam Admirals (1998) followed before he found a home with the St. Louis Rams in 1999. From there, he became an unlikely Super Bowl MVP in leading the Rams to the title in his first season. Eleven years later, Warner’s Hall of Fame resume includes five Pro Bowls, two NFL MVP awards and the top three Super Bowl passing performances of all time. He is just the second QB in league history with 100 or more touchdown passes with two different teams. And he shows no signs of slowing down.

In last week’s epic 51-45 overtime win over Green Bay, Warner completed 29 of 33 passes for 379 yards and five touchdowns with no interceptions. That’s more TD passes than incompletions, folks. He owns a 9-3 record as a playoff starter and joins Oakland’s Daryle Lamonica as the only QBs to toss five touchdown passes in a postseason game twice. Win or lose, I hope 2010 doesn’t mark the end of the Kurt Warner Era.

Bison boys steamroll Southwest BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

High Point – High Point Central’s well-oiled machine was more like a runaway train Friday night, barreling to a 14-point halftime lead before Southwest Guilford knew what hit it. The Bison parlayed their 40-26 advantage at the break into a 71-58 victory over the Cowboys in the teams’ first meeting since their High Point Classic thriller over the holidays. “They got too many second and third shots in that first half,” Southwest coach Guy Shavers said. “We can’t give up 40 points in a half and win ball games.”

For the Bison, the points began at the defensive end of the floor. Derek Grant, Drew Adams and the rest of the Bison backcourt blanketed the Cowboys guards to generate looks in the open floor. A game-high 19 points from Grant and 11 from center Shaq Bethea were scored mostly from frequent fastbreaks in the first half.. “We’ve been working on our defense. I think that’s what we are, a defensive team,” Patrick Battle said. “We know that if we get out there and play, we can turn those opportunities into baskets.” The Bison (6-7, 3-2 Piedmont Triad 4A) enjoyed a lead in excess of 15 points for all but two minutes of the sec-

ond half. Central attempted a variation of keep-away in the third and fourth quarters. After becoming a bit sloppy toward the end of the third quarter, Battle urged his players to regroup and once again attack the basket. Quality execution on the first few possessions of the final frame allowed Central to return its attention to bleeding the clock. “With everything but the last four minutes, I was very happy,” Central coach Patrick Battle concluded. “We’ve been in a lot of close games (in contrast to Friday’s tilt), so I think we’re very comfortable executing our offense.” DeAndre Brown and Andrew Bostic led the Cowboys (4-10, 1-3) with 16 points apiece.

Bulldog boys hold off Warriors

Trinity girls rally by Wheatmore BY JASON QUEEN SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

TRINITY – Newly built Wheatmore High School is just a few miles from Trinity. But Trinity’s girls dialed long distance to rally past the Warriors at Wheatmore on Friday night. Backcourt mates Logan Terry and Christy Campbell scored 16 points apiece, combining for five crucial 3-pointers, to lead the Bulldogs to a 51-39 Piedmont Athletic Conference victory. It wasn’t easy. The Warriors, operating in an active 2-3 zone, frazzled Trinity into turnovers early and led 15-6 late in the first quarter. “One of the last things I told them before we came out of the locker room was we had to eliminate unforced turnovers,” Trinity coach Renee Hayes said. “I won’t ever say that again. I feel like that was on their minds, and we turned it over.” Then came the barrage from the perimeter. Terry nailed a 3 from straight away, and Campbell followed suit from

the wing to get within 1512 at the end of the first. Amber Simrel tied it at 17-17 with a pair of free throws, and Terry gave the Bulldogs the lead for good with her own 3 from the left wing. The Warriors never recovered, and Trinity countered with a zone that turned the tide. “We started trying to penetrate a little more, rather than sitting back and throwing around the zone,” Hayes added. “We also stepped up our defense a little bit; we play better offensively when we’re more intense on defense.” Terry opened the second half with a fast-break bucket, and Campbell buried another 3 to balloon the lead to 29-21. Wheatmore, which fell to 1-2 in the league, 5-11 overall, never recovered. Trinity, which improved to 2-1, 69, led by double figures for most of the fourth quarter and was never threatened. Courtney Cox added 11 points and 11 rebounds DON DAVIS JR. | HPE for Trinity.

TRINITY – Anyone from Trinity expecting a JV/ varsity blowout Friday night at first-year school Wheatmore was sorely disappointed. In the end, the Warriors felt the disappointment. Wheatmore, which trailed by 13 heading into the fourth quarter, got within two with 1:50 left to play before dropping a 48-41 heartbreaker to its crosstown rival in Piedmont Athletic Conference action. Although no coach will accept a moral victory, Wheatmore coach Dave Ellington couldn’t say enough about his young squad. “All I asked them to do was compete for 32 minutes, and they competed for 32 minutes,” he beamed. “We got down twice, and we came back twice. And we played a good ballclub; these kids are starting to believe in themselves. “We should have beat Carver; if I get this effort from these three freshmen and two sophomores that were on the floor, we’re gonna be fine.” Coming out of the other locker room, Trinity coach Tim Kelly knew his team nearly walked into a trap. “You have to look at the approaches from both teams,” Kelly said. “I’m trying to convince my kids that a team we just beat by 35 can beat us when we come in here. And you’re dealing with high school kids. Then a dose of reality hits, and you’re in a struggle.” That certainly held true. The Bulldogs scored 10 points in the paint in the first quarter to grab a 15-6 lead after one. But the Warriors responded in the second, scoring eight of their 10 points from the foul line to get within 20-16 at the half. Trinity went back to its bread and butter in the third, with Matt Watkins and David Clausen powering the Bulldogs to a seemingly comfortable 36-23 lead heading to the fourth. That’s when the tide shifted. Ray Edwards converted a threepoint play, and Brett Ozment and Dakota White hit back-to-back 3-pointers to whittle the lead to 38-35. But the Bulldogs settled down, icing the game with 5-of-6 shooting from the free throw line in the final minute. Trinity stayed perfect in the league at 3-0, 12-3 overall, while Wheatmore dipped to 1-2, 5-10. Watkins poured in a game-high 21 for Trinity, and Edwards paced the Warriors with 13.

NASCAR to switch to rear spoiler after testing DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) – NASCAR informed teams Friday that it has scheduled an open test at Charlotte Motor Speedway as part of an upcoming transition from a wing to a rear spoiler. The change had been discussed individually with teams, but nothing had been formally announced before the Friday memo to crew chiefs from Sprint Cup Series director John Darby. “To help put some of the rumor mills to rest, I am sending you the following facts as they relate to changes for 2010,” Darby wrote in the memo, a copy of

which was obtained by The Associated Press. “We will be transitioning from the usage of the current wing to an aluminum spoiler.” NASCAR will hold an informational meeting for teams in mid-March, and the spoiler will be tested March 23-24 at CMS. No race has been selected for the spoiler debut, but the March 28 event at Martinsville is the earliest the change could be implemented based on the timeline outlined by Darby. The season opens Feb. 14 with the Daytona 500, and Martinsville is the sixth race on the schedule.

Groh heads to Georgia Tech to run defense ATLANTA (AP) – Georgia Tech hired former Virginia coach Al Groh as its defensive coordinator, hoping he

can turn around a unit that was burned for big yards even as the Yellow Jackets were winning the ACC championship.

Darby said in the memo that the rear spoiler will replicate the downforce and balance that is being produced on the current car. NASCAR in 2007 phased in a new model of race car that replaced the spoiler with a front wing. Many drivers were slow to adapt to the new car, which went to full-time use in 2008, and fans have claimed the car has made the racing boring. NASCAR last May began a series of town hall and individual meetings with teams, and one of the constant cries

Tennessee hires La. Tech’s Dooley KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Tennessee’s frantic search to find a new coach is over, and the Volunteers are turning to Louisiana Tech’s Derek Dooley. Louisiana Tech spokesman Malcolm Butler told The Associated Press that Dooley has resigned from his positions as coach and athletic director to join the Volunteers. The son of former Georgia coach Vince Dooley, Derek Dooley went 17-20 in three seasons at Louisiana Tech and was the only coach in Division I to also serve as his school’s athletic director. The Volunteers hired him just days after Lane Kiffin abruptly quit the

Tennessee job, bolting to Southern California only 14 months into his tenure with the Vols. Dooley was hired from a list of candidates that was believed to include Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp, Air Force coach Troy Calhoun, Duke coach David Cutcliffe and Utah coach Kyle Whittingham. Tennessee’s attraction to the 41-year-old Dooley includes the time he spent working as an assistant and recruiter for Nick Saban at LSU and in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins. Dooley, who earned a law degree from Georgia, did not return a message left on his cell phone by the AP for comment.

Gerhart to leave Stanford for NFL draft STANFORD, Calif. (AP) – Heisman Trophy runner-up Toby Gerhart announced Friday that he will enter the NFL draft instead of staying at Stanford for a fifth season. Gerhart thanked coach Jim Harbaugh, former running backs coach Willie Taggart and his offensive linemen for helping

his success this season. He could have stayed for a fifth season because he played just one game in 2007 because of injuries, but opted for the NFL instead. Gerhart ran for a school-record 1,871 yards and a nation-leading 28 touchdowns this past season. He won the Doak Walker Award.

U.S.’s Miller wins World Cup super combined in Wengen WENGEN, Switzerland (AP) – Just in time for the Olympics, Bode Miller is a winner again. With the Vancouver Games less than a month away, Miller won a World Cup super combined Friday for his first victory in almost two years. “Winning was great,” he said. “It’s a great time of the year for me to be moving forward.” The New Hampshire skier missed much of the offseason while considering

retirement and skipped recent races to rest his injured right ankle. Miller completed his slalom run in 49.05 seconds after leading the morning downhill for a combined time of 2 minutes, 35.96 seconds. It was his 32nd World Cup victory. Carlo Janka of Switzerland was 0.37 back on the Lauberhorn course, and Swiss teammate Silvan Zurbriggen was third, 0.42 off the lead. Ted Ligety of the U.S. was fifth.

from participants was a need to alter the car design. The decision to actually do so has come from offseason meetings with drivers, but the timing means teams will have to scramble to adjust inventory that’s already been prepared for this coming season. Darby said the size and shape of the spoiler will not be determined until NASCAR has a chance to do wind tunnel testing on the car, and once decided, a supplier will be selected to produce the part. Teams will have to purchase the spoiler from the selected supplier.

Holtz excited about challenge at USF TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – Someone in the crowd ringing the amphitheater outside the University of South Florida student center shouted “Beat Florida!” Skip Holtz smiled and waited for the applause to wane.

Inflation, wages squeeze consumers WASHINGTON (AP) – The notion that consumers will help lead the economic rebound received a stark rebuttal Friday: American families are being squeezed. Workers saw their inflation-adjusted weekly wages fall 1.6 percent last year – the sharpest drop since 1990 – even as consumer prices rose only modestly. Families’ spending power sank as a result. Slack pay and scarce job growth are slowing consumer spending, along with tight credit and a rising savings rate. That’s hindering the economy’s ability to mount a strong recovery. For some families, the overall inflation rate last year – 2.7 percent – understates their burden. Many are struggling with surging costs for health care and college tuition, both of which have been galloping far above the overall inflation rate.

Paulson, Freidman called to testify WASHINGTON – A House committee investigating bailouts of major banks is calling former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and former Federal Reserve Bank of New York Chairman Stephen Friedman to testify. The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform says it wants Paulson and Friedman to testify about their roles in the bailout of American International Group Inc. Lawmakers are concerned that officials managing the bailout quietly funneled billions from AIG to banks including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Friedman is a Goldman director.

Feds slap United with $30,000 fine MINNEAPOLIS – The U.S. Transportation Department said on Friday that United Airlines must pay a $30,000 fine for failing to include a federal tax when it quoted some airfares on its Web site. The government said United left a 7.5 percent federal excise tax out of some fare quotes for two-and-a-half days. United spokesman Rahsaan Johnson says a programming error moved the tax from the base fare, where government rules require it.

Dollar makes gains amid euro woes NEW YORK – The dollar steamed higher Friday as concerns increased over the stability of the eurozone economy and the difficulties of its weaker members as U.S. reports showed subdued U.S. inflation, dropping wages and a drop in manufacturing.

A butcher puts out meat at Costco in Mountain View, Calif. Consumer prices rose 2.7 percent for all of 2009 because of a surge in energy prices which offset the biggest drop in food costs in nearly a half century. Core inflation, which excludes the volatile food and energy sectors, rose 1.8 percent. That’s the second-smallest rise in four decades.

Theresa Bryan was in line Friday morning at Dunkin’ Donuts in Haddon Township, N.J., for a cup of coffee. It’s about the only indulgence she’s

JPMorgan Chase profit soars on market rally NEW YORK (AP) – JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s profit rose more than four-fold to $3.28 billion in the last three months of 2009, but the results released Friday were tempered by rising loan losses at its consumer bank. Its shares fell almost 1 percent in early trading. The bank had a sobering assessment of the economy, warning that it cannot say it has seen defaults on mortgages and other loans peak. Its earnings came on profits from its investment banking and asset management businesses,

which thrived amid the now 10-month-old market rally. JPMorgan Chase earned $702 million a year earlier when the nearcollapse of the mortgage banking business forced it to write down the value of billions of dollars in loans. Over the past year, record-low interest rates have allowed banking companies to profit when lending money at higher rates. And the boom in the financial markets have brought in billions of dollars in trading and underwriting revenue that

Financial stocks drag Dow down NEW YORK (AP) – The Dow Jones industrial average had its first triple-digit drop of 2010 as mounting losses from loans at JPMorgan Chase & Co. and a disappointing consumer sentiment reading sent investors rushing from stocks. Financial stocks led the market lower Friday, pulling major stock indexes down about 1 percent from 15-month highs. The Dow lost almost 101 points, its steep-

est drop since Dec. 31. Interest rates fell in the bond markets as investors bought Treasurys in search of safety. The Dow fell 100.90, or 0.9 percent, to 10,609.65, the biggest drop since it lost 120 points on the final day of 2009. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 12.43, or 1.1 percent, to 1,136.03, and the Nasdaq composite index fell 28.75, or 1.2 percent, to 2,287.99.

were decimated a year earlier by the stock market crash. Investors were disappointed, however, probably because the company didn’t raise its 5 cents per share quarterly dividend, as the market had hoped. JPMorgan Chase stock was down 30 cents at $44.39. When JPMorgan Chase announced third-quarter results in October, bank executives said they would consider raising the dividend when loan losses stabilize and the company’s credit costs fall.

Court reverses cigarette ad verdict COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – An Ohio appeals court has reversed a decision that a cigarette company’s advertisement in Rolling Stone magazine violated a tobacco industry settlement. Several other states sued R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. over an ad in Rolling Stone that ran alongside a 2007 story illustrated with drawings. The appeals court ruled Reynolds had no say in the content that Rolling Stone ran next to the ad.

Oil prices fall for fifth straight day NEW YORK (AP) – Oil prices ran up against forecasts for warmer weather, people who won’t drive or spend money and a stronger dollar. Those factors combined for a fifth straight day of

losses. Benchmark crude for February delivery slid $1.39 cents Friday to settle at $78 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The price was down $4.75 for the week. The optimism traders had earlier in the year has been

tempered by “prospects for pretty miserable demand” in January and February, said Tom Kloza of the Oil Price Information Service. “Folks don’t tend to drive that much or spend too much in January and February,” he said.

Numerous design approvals and a disagreement with the National Park Service over how to secure the site against domestic terrorism delayed the project. “We had no idea it would take this long,” Jackson said. Still, he said, the years of work will pay off as millions of visitors will eventually see King’s words engraved in stone. “Although it has been a long road, I am extremely fortunate to have an opportunity to be a part of it,” Jackson said. “Obviously, I feel blessed.” The private foundation working to build the memorial is still raising money to complete it. To date, $108 million of the $120 million needed has been raised, spokeswoman Rica Orszag said. In recent months, the Boeing Co. has been running television ads promoting the project. The group also is accepting $5 donations through a text message campaign.

This MLK holiday, work has begun on memorial in DC WASHINGTON (AP) – Construction is finally under way on the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial on the National Mall after more than a dozen years of planning, fundraising and legal wrangling. Workers have been clearing the site on the Tidal Basin since Dec. 28. They will move some trees to another part of the mall, including a few of Washington’s famous cherry trees. By February, heavy construction will begin. Monday will mark the first King holiday, though, when organizers can finally see their work in progress. “Everyone in the office is taking a deep breath,” executive architect Ed Jackson Jr. said in an interview Friday. “Although it’s been a labor of love, it’s been a long road, 13 years for me.” It was supposed to be completed by now.

The Associated Press by the Kentucky State Police. Sparkman, 51, was found strangled with a rope around his neck near a rural cemetery in September with the word “fed” scrawled on his chest. It triggered a state and federal investigation that ultimately determined he had committed suicide. The records show that Sparkman’s friend, Lowell Adams, who had worked for Sparkman as a parttime security guard since 2007, told investigators that the federal employee wanted his suicide to look like a murder. Adams said Sparkman told him that he had even practiced self-asphyxiation and had been able to cause himself to black out before he staged his death. Sparkman’s body was found Sept. 12 near Hoskins Cemetery in a heavily wooded area of the Daniel Boone National Forest.

Honda Pilot is a top SUV seller BY ANN M. JOB THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NUTS & BOLTS

–

Honda is well known for its fuel-efficient cars. But the Japan-based automaker also sells America’s second most popular sport utility vehicle that can accommodate at least seven people. The sizable Honda Pilot beat out the Chevrolet Tahoe, Ford Explorer and Toyota Highlander in calendar 2009 to take second spot in U.S. sales of SUVs with three rows of seats. The Pilot also garnered top, 5-out-of-5 stars ratings from the federal government for passenger protection in frontal and side crash tests, and it’s a recommended buy of Consumer Reports. Only the Chevrolet Traverse topped the Pilot in seven- to eight-passenger SUV sales in the United States last year. While the Traverse also is a Consumer Report recommended buy and has top safety crash test ratings, its starting retail price is higher than that of the 2010 Pilot. Specifically, starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge, is $28,605 for a 2010 a two-wheel drive Pilot with 250-horsepower V-6 and automatic transmission. The 2010

AP

This photo released by Honda shows the 2010 Honda Pilot, which received top safety ratings in crash tests. Traverse has a starting MSRP, including destination charge, of $29,999 with two-wheel drive, 281horsepower V-6 and automatic transmission. The lowest-priced Pilot with four-wheel drive starts at $30,205 and compares with $31,999 for an all-wheel drive, base Traverse. Toyota’s 2010 Highlander with three rows of seats starts at $28,400 with 270-horsepower V-6, au-

tomatic tranny and twowheel drive and $29,850 with four-wheel drive. Not everyone likes the front styling of the Pilot, where a chunky, silver-colored grille looks plastered on, rather than neatly integrated. The side styling of the Pilot, however, is clean and uncluttered, while the rear styling is attractive. The test Pilot, a top-ofthe-line Touring model, was

comfortable for passengers, had 87 cubic feet of cargo space, provided great views out over traffic and had video and audio features to keep riders occupied. But I took a big gulp when I saw the price tag of more than $40,000, which takes this top version of Pilot into the luxury price category. To be sure, the leather seats looked and felt good. But the hard plastic on the

Pilot dashboard and doors wasn’t quite up to luxury tastes. The ride in the tester felt sturdy and comfortable. I didn’t feel isolated from the road, but the Pilot’s ride wasn’t overly firm. The Pilot is a crossover SUV, which means it blends a cartype platform with an SUV look and accouterments. This contrasts with more brutish SUVs

2010 Honda Pilot 4WD Touring R&N BASE PRICE: $27,895 for base 2WD LX AS TESTED: $40,955 TYPE: Front-engine, four-wheel drive, eightpassenger, mid-size crossover sport utility vehicle ENGINE: 3.5-liter, single overhead cam V-6 with variable cylinder management and i-VTEC MILEAGE: 16 mpg (city), 22 mpg (highway) TOP SPEED: NA LENGTH: 190.9 inches WHEELBASE: 109.2 inches CURB WEIGHT: 4,608 pounds BUILT AT: Lincoln, Ala. OPTIONS: None DESTINATION CHARGE: $710 which use truck-based platforms. Women will like the large storage console between the two front seats. I could put my purse in there and close the cover, keeping my purse from flopping around on the seat or between the front seats. This storage spot is right at the base of the center stack of the dashboard, so it’s easy for short-statured people to access.
