Area has been hit hard

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

SERIES BREAKOUTS

GUILFORD COUNTY – Housing markets across the country saw a staggering increase in foreclosures in 2009, including Guilford County.

Thanks to high unemployment rates, which peaked at 12.1 percent in High Point last year, along with sub-prime mortgages and an overall sluggish economy, hundreds of foreclosed homes have continued to stagnate on the area housing market. There are about 196 foreclosed properties currently on the market in Greensboro, and 93 in High Point, according to Realty Trac, publisher of a yearly report on the country’s housing market and a leading source in foreclosure listings.

Foreclosed properties can cause problems for buyers and sellers, according to local Realtors. Not only do they drag down the value of homes around them, but they can serve as an eyesore to local neighborhoods and may require too many repairs for most buyers to fit into their budgets.

“Buyers are asking themselves, ‘Do I want to get a deal and a fixer-upper, or do I want to buy the resell?’” said Tony Jarrett, regional vice president of the Allen Tate Co., about buyers looking at foreclosed properties. “Foreclosures are dropping prices of other properties dramatically.”

That effect may be found in High Point’s home sales report for December, compiled by the Triad Multiple Listing Service. Homes in November sold at an average price of $135,343, while the average home sale price in December dropped to $122,502. The average foreclosed property in High Point sells for $113,400.

That’s where the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, which offers first-time homebuyers up to $7,500 in down payment assistance in the form of a deferred loan and up to $20,000 for repairs in the form of a deferred and forgiven loan, comes in. The incentive, offered to buyers who have not owned a

home within the last three years to purchase and fix up a foreclosed property, may be one way to get those properties off of the market, said Ken Wall, president of the High Point Regional Association of Realtors.

“These funds are available (to buyers) to help stabilize neighborhoods,” Wall said.

The program also may be important because more foreclosures currently are in the works, Jarrett said.

“Foreclosures are still coming into the market,” he said. “We’re going to continue to have price pressure from them in 2010.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

HIGH POINT – The foreclosure market in High Point may have a healthier future thanks to the effects of a new program the city has put into place.

High Point received $2.6 million from the state for a Neighborhood Stabilization Program, FIXING or NSP, FORECLOSURES in October. After High Point’s months of Neighborhood o r g a n i z - Stabilization ing and Program fine tun- ■■■ ing the program, the first house was sold on Jan. 15 under the program, which is designed to assist communities in the redevelopment of abandoned and foreclosed homes.

“The idea behind it obviously is to help get some foreclosures off of the market,” said Ken Wall, president of the High Point Regional Association of Realtors. Wall, with Providence Realty, sold the first home under the program.

Call it High Point’s own version of the First Time Homebuyer tax credit. The program offers two features for eligible first-time homebuyers who are purchasing a foreclosed property, including up to $7,500 in down payment assistance in the form of a three-year deferred loan as well as a deferred and forgiven loan up to $20,000 for repairs to the home.

The program is unique in the sense that it focuses on revitalizing areas in the city that have large amounts of foreclosed properties, said Ed Price, who operates Ed Price and Associates Realtors.

“If you can get foreclosures off the market, it will raise the value of everything else,” Price said. “Foreclosures bring down the prices of homes all across town.”

The money allotted for repairs to the home can be used to fix problems in heating and air conditioning units, vinyl siding or carpet. The repairs are handled by the city of High Point. The city

Thomasville prioritizes sewer improvement projects

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Thomasville officials received a preliminary report last month that prioritizes four projects as immediate needs for the Chair City’s sewer collection system.

City Manager Kelly Craver said the report, which was prepared by Pease and Associates Consulting Engineers, lists $2.3 million worth of projects. The city of Thomasville hired Pease and Associates as a result of last summer’s wastewater spill of 15.93 million gallons of sewer that entered into Hamby Creek.

“We have a preliminary report from them, which we are working on the priorities of what we will be doing first,” Craver said. “I think first and foremost that the collector line that failed back in the summer was of immediate concern. We will be pursuing

a project where we will be replacing that line.”

The spill, which began July 13 and ended Aug. 4, came from the North Hamby Creek Outfall line near Baptist Children’s Home Road, and sewage spilled into the North Hamby Creek in the Yadkin/Pee Dee River Basin, which flows into High Rock Lake. The spill happened as a result of a collapsed manhole, possibly during or after a rainstorm on July 13, according to city officials.

“They are in the process of designing the line,” Craver said. “Once we have that design, they will forward the plans to the (N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources). DENR will review the plans for construction, and they will send comments back. When they are satisfied with the plans, we can go forth and go for bids and start the construction.

I’m certainly hoping that the review

SELL

will be expedited at the state level, especially, due to the importance of this construction getting started as soon as possible.”

The project to the sewer line at the site of spill is expected to cost $425,000 for construction and $60,000 for engineering fees, Craver said, adding that project will be funded by reserve funds in the city’s Water and Sewer Fund. The other projects include repairs to the collection system at Concord and Amazon streets, as well as upgrades to the Northside and East Davidson pump stations.

“We have discussed using emergency loans from construction loans and grants,” Craver said. “I have spoken with Howard Coble’s office regarding of any North Carolina recovery money that might be available for either of these projects or future projects.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Commissioners weigh election plans

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Incumbents who serve on the Davidson County Board of Commissioners were split this week on making a firm decision on whether they will seek re-election this year.

Of the four incumbents up for re-election, Don Truell and Billy Joe Kepley confirmed they will seek office once again.

Max Walser, the board’s chairman, and Sam Watford, the board’s vice chairman, said they were undecided on whether they will seek re-election.

“I have not made a firm decision about that,”

Walser said. “That’s the honest truth ... I felt like eight years was enough and let some other people try it, but when I got elected chairman, I got a lot of pressure that you might suspect from people on both sides who asked me to run again. I’m riding the fence right now.”

Walser, who formerly served as the superintendent of Davidson County Schools, is the only Democrat on the Davidson County Board of Commissioners. He recently was elected to serve as the board’s chairman for 2010.

“It’s very difficult to be elected to anything in Davidson County,” Walser said. “I certainly don’t

say this with any boastfulness or ego, but there are a lot of people who feel like if I want to run I can get re-elected, and they’re not sure if they can get another Democrat elected.”

Along with Walser, Don Truell, Thomasville’s former police chief, is finishing out his second consecutive term on the board.

Truell says he wants to stay on the board to finish out several projects.

“I think everyone will tell you that securing jobs, employment and industry is one of the big things, but at the same time these next four years we’ve got to look at building a jail. We’ve got to look at adding more

schools, another school on the north end toward North Davidson. The schools are really dear to me. I want to see that pushed through, too.”

Kepley, who is finishing out his fifth non-consecutive term, also wants to see a project come to fruition.

“I have been working for several years now trying to get a water reservoir,” he said. “I’ve gotten the first two steps. I’ve got the study done about the water needs and where the reservoir should go. ... I have made the statement that I would not voluntarily leave the board until I get my reservoir.”

also determines how many years it will take for the loan to be forgiven. For example, if the city grants a homebuyer a $20,000 loan for repairs and determines it will be forgiven at a rate of 20 percent each year, the homeowner must remain in the home for five years for the total loan to be forgiven.

The point of the repair keep a house from complying with home inspection codes, Wall said. It allows homebuyers to purchase a home they may not have been able to repair otherwise, and it brightens the neighborhood, he said.

The program also can be coupled with other in-

As the program continues to grow, Price hopes the amount of foreclosures, which grew in the city by about 4 percent in 2008, will begin to heal.

Once that happens, the housing market may begin a slow climb back to normalcy, he said.

“We’re worrying about it (the foreclosure market) in High Point,” Price said.

BOTTOM LINE

SAN DIEGO (AP) – A U.S. border inspector suspected something fishy about the truckload of white sea bass headed into San Diego from Tijuana, Mexico. It was a good hunch.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Friday

HIGH POINT – Culp Inc. announced that the company has reached agreements with certain customers and fabric suppliers regarding Culp’s copyrighted fabric designs.

Most of Culp’s upholstery fabric designs are copyright protected, including its faux leather fabric designs. The protected lines include Palomino, Wrangler, Stampede, Congo, Gunslinger, Nabuck, Bonanza, Lambskin, Nabook and Buckskin.

Last August, Culp began pursuing enforcement of its rights against companies and individuals engaged in offering knockoffs of Culp’s copyrighted designs. Culp announced Thursday that the High Point-based company has reached agreements with certain customers and fabric suppliers.

The terms of the agreements are confidential and

weren’t released publicly.

Culp also announced that the company is engaged in enforcement proceedings against several fabric suppliers and, in some cases, the owners individually.

The actions are against Global Textile Alliance, Huntington Fabrics and Gum Tree Fabrics, the company reports.

“Additionally, Culp is in discussions and pursuing agreements with several major customers to ensure that Culp will be the exclusive provider of its copyrighted designs for the long term.

Unfortunately, there are certain customers, importers and retailers who continue to use unauthorized versions of Culp’s copyrighted designs in their furniture products.

In these cases, the company is gathering documentation and determining what legal actions to pursue,” the company announced.

Hospice House asks terminally ill patient to leave facility

HICKORY – A terminally ill man who made headlines when he held his living funeral last month said the local Hospice House has asked him to leave.

Dan Lasky, who has ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, said Palliative CareCenter & Hospice of Catawba Valley gave him a Feb. 5 deadline to find another place to stay.

An official from the house said the policy is to reserve hospice beds for patients who have two months or

less to live. With 21 beds, the home can quickly fill up. If that happens, hospice has to turn away people with immediate needs, said Michelle Roseman, the vice president of clinical services. Those patients include people who could come to the Hospice House temporarily instead of going to a hospital emergency room for care, as well people who don’t want to spend their last days in a hospital. “It wouldn’t be fair to keep someone at the Hospice House who is really a longterm care patient,� Roseman said.

UK airport closes when white powder found

LONDON – Police have closed and evacuated part of Manchester Airport in England after finding an unidentified white powder there.

MELVILLE, N.Y. (AP) – A fuel truck flipped and exploded on New York’s Long Island Expressway on Saturday morning, killing the driver and creating a fireball seen for miles that shut the highway for hours.

Emergency crews battled the raging blaze for three hours after the 8 a.m. accident between Melville and Plainview near the Nassau County line.

The intense heat melted the supports for a huge road sign, which collapsed across all eight lanes of the roadway. Heavy equipment was brought in to remove it, but authorities were still uncertain in late afternoon when the heavily trafficked highway might reopen.

Man charged with slaying mom, 2 tots

NEW YORK – A New York City man faces charges that he slaughtered his girlfriend and her two young children in a frenzy at their Brooklyn home.

Jermaine Ruiz was charged Saturday with three counts of murder. The 24-year-old had been in custody since Friday.

Oil spilled at east Texas port as ships collide PORT ARTHUR, Texas – About 450,000 gallons of crude oil spilled in a southeast Texas port Saturday after two vessels collided, the U.S. Coast Guard said. No injuries have been reported, but part of the port has been closed.

The recall by Daniele International Inc. comes amid a multistate investigation of a salmonella outbreak that’s sickened 184 people in 38 states since July.

Kim Kardashian obtains restraining order

Celebrities unite to help Haiti in telethon

FAMOUS, FABULOUS, FRIVOLOUS

---

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Kim Kardashian has obtained a temporary restraining order against a man she describes as “extremely delusional,” court records show.

K a r dashian’s attorneys obtained a stay-away Kardashian order Tuesday against Dennis Shaun Bowman, 26. It prohibits Bowman from trying to contact the reality television star in any way, including via Twitter.

Kardashian, 29, is a celebrity model and pitchwoman and stars in the E! series “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” Her filings state Bowman has repeatedly showed up at her appearances, sometimes in facepaint depicting him as the Joker character from “Batman” fame.

O’Brien thanks fans, NBC on his final show NEW YORK (AP) – Conan O’Brien said on his final “Tonight” show that walking away is the hardest thing he’s ever had to do.

He ended his tenure on the storied late-night show Friday, seven months after he started.

He is set to be replaced by the man he initially took over for – Jay Leno.

Before ending his show, O’Brien thanked his fans, the viewers and even NBC.

NEW YORK (AP) – Grim-faced celebrities and musicians with mournful tunes set the tone for the all-star, international “Hope for Haiti Now” telethon, which featured two hours of desperate pleas for an even more-desperate nation.

But it ended on a hopeful note, with a buoyant call for Haiti’s revival by native son, Wyclef Jean.

“Enough of this moping man, let’s rebuild Haiti, let’s show ’em how we do it where we come from!”

Jean shouted after singAP ing the slow song “Rivers In this image released by Hope for Haiti Now, country star Taylor Swift (left) and of Babylon,” with a Haisinger Selena Gomez are shown at “Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earth- tian flag around his neck. quake Relief,” on Friday in Los Angeles.

He segued into the joy-

ful tune “Yele” with an island beat, as musicians danced around him, singing the refrain: “Earthquake, we see the earth shake, but the soul of the Haitian people will never break!”

It was a stark contrast from the opening of the telecast: no words, simply photos of Haiti’s tragic citizens as a backdrop, as Alicia Keys called for the help of angels in somber tune.

“The Haitian people need our help,” said George Clooney, who helped organize the twohour telecast. “They need to know that they are not alone.’’

Donation of Spears’ dress OK for Haiti relief LOS ANGELES (AP) – Britney Spears is lending a hand, or rather a dress, to help out Haiti.

A court commissioner on Friday approved a request allowing the singer to donate the dress she wore to the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards so it can be Spears auctioned, with the proceeds going to help Haitian earthquake victims.

The court’s permission was needed because the pop singer remains under a court-ordered conservatorship.

Survey says ...

High Pointers feel better about school district, audit finds

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – High Pointers may be feeling better about the county school district, according to preliminary results from an audit.

Just six months after Regional Superintendent Angelo Kidd opened a regional office at 900 English Road, residents said they see “a positive change”

TOP ISSUES

–

Survey: Parents and community residents ranked education issues in this order of importance: quality of education, safety, better teachers and parent-teacher communication.

in the way the district is reaching out to them, according to an audit commentary released Saturday to the Guilford County Board of Education.

“They said there is a less ‘us versus them mentality’ as in the past,” according to the report.

HPU seeks rezoning to make way for Greek Village

Superintendent Mo Green appointed Kidd and four other administrators for regional offices as a way to decentralize district services.

Kidd supervises 24 schools, including High Point Central and Southwest high schools. Green placed T.W. Andrews High School in a special enrichment region. Kidd said last year he spends 70 percent of his time in the schools and with community leaders.

Residents also noted that catching up on community projects, including renovations to the track and athletic field at Central High, “would

go a long way in building trust with community leaders.”

Results of a related survey show parents are seeking more involvement with the schools, and want better parent-teacher communications.

“We need a referral for people who want to volunteer,” said Board Chairman Alan Duncan. “We need to make it more user friendly.”

The findings showed that 73 percent of parents were not aware of which region served them; 67 percent were not aware of opportunities for involvement as were 70 percent of community residents.

WHO’S NEWS

----

“These are high numbers and we may need to pay attention to this,” said Nora Carr, district chief of staff.

The survey included 412 parents and 400 community leaders across the county randomly selected from databases for the telephone poll.

Respondents were asked questions about education issues and quality perceptions.

“We have a confidence level of 95 percent,” Carr said. “This compares with major professional surveys.”

John S. Clark Co., the general contractor with operations in the Triad, promoted Jerry Winegar to director of operations.

Winegar will continue to operate out of the company’s Wilmington division.

Home is where the heart is

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The Planning and Zoning Commission will consider a rezoning request from High Point University regarding additional student housing at its meeting Tuesday night.

The university is requesting that about 10 acres of its land be rezoned for a Greek Village to be constructed in the future.

The area consists of two blocks bounded

by Montlieu Avenue, North Avenue, Fifth Street and Willoubar Terrace.

Don Scarborough, vice president of community relations at the university, said the Greek Village would house fraternity and sorority students. The Greek Village would include 14 houses with 13 students in each house, creating room for 182 students.

Scarborough said a date had not yet been set for construction to begin.

The commission also will consider a rezoning request from Westchester Christian Center, part of Providence Place, about the development of an adult-care center.

An original zoning approval for the center in 1998 allowed for seven adultcare buildings with 10 units per building to be constructed along the eastern boundary of the site, according to the city’s Planning and Zoning Department. Providence Place is requesting that the plan combine these seven buildings into one adult-care building that will be located along the eastern boundary of the property, about 500 feet north of Whittier Avenue.

The adult-care center, still without an official name, is an $8 million replacement facility scheduled for completion in October 2011. The center is the site where 69 residents at Wesleyan Homes and 23 residents at Wesleyan Arms assisted living facility will be relocated to in the future. The two Wesleyan facilities were purchased by High Point University upon agreement that Providence Place successfully relocate the residents at those facilities.

The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. at city hall on 211 S. Hamilton St.

‘Guys and Dolls’ actress Jean Simmons dies at 80 LOS ANGELES (AP) – Jean Simmons, whose ethereal screen presence and starring roles with Hollywood’s top actors made her a mid-century film icon, has died at age 80.

The actress, who sang with Marlon Brando in “Guys and Dolls;” costarred with Gregory Peck, Paul Newman and Kirk Douglas; and played Ophelia to Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet, died Friday at her home in Santa Monica, her

agent Judy Page told the Los Angeles Times. She had lung cancer.

Already a stunning beauty at 14, Simmons made her movie debut in the 1944 British production “Give Us the Moon.”

Several minor films followed before British director David Lean gave the London-born actress her breakthrough role of Estella, companion to the reclusive Miss Havisham in 1946’s “Great Expectations.”

TV pioneer Frances Buss Buch dies at 92 HENDERSONVILLE (AP) – Frances Buss Buch, a pioneer of network TV and the first female TV director, has died. She was 92.

Her great-nephew, Mark Spencer, confirmed Saturday that Buch died Tuesday at Four Seasons Compassion for Life Elizabeth House in Hendersonville. Spencer said

J.C. Green & Sons Funeral Home

his great-aunt’s boldness led to her success “at a time when broadcasting was definitely a man’s world.”

The family says Buch joined CBS as a receptionist in 1941 and was soon asked to be in front of the camera. By 1945, CBS promoted her to be TV’s first female director.

Assault victims to sue city of Charlotte, former officer MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Two alleged victims of former Charlotte-Mecklenburg police Officer Marcus Jackson are suing the ex-officer and the city of Charlotte, according to attorney Neal Rodgers.

WSOC-TV has report-

ed that the suit was filed late Friday morning.

Jackson is accused of inappropriately touching six women while on duty. Five of the alleged attacks happened during traffic stops, and the other was during Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to a domestic abuse call for help. He served in CMPDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eastway Division.

Frank Feild, director of Community Development, stands outside a house that needs to be brought up to code in Darien, Ga.

Small town gets politics out of the way to remove blight

DARIEN, Ga. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A thick binder in Darienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community development office holds photos of 100 vacant and dilapidated houses that were part of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landscape two years ago.

It also holds photos of vacant lots where about 95 of them were torn down.

The city accomplished the feat by simply enforcing its nuisance ordinances, which require owners to take responsibility for blighted properties, said Darien Community Development Director Frank Feild. Progress wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so much a matter of legal tactics as community will, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a city council that supported cleaning up the neighborhood and constituents who wanted it done,â&#x20AC;?

With city backing, Darienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s code enforcement officer began identifying problem properties 11â &#x201E;2 years ago and notified owners they were in violation of city code.

Owners were told they could demolish a house, rebuild it or move it out of the city, Feild said.

About 65 percent complied immediately. Others worked with the city to make repairs as they could afford them.

Some ignored the summons and were taken to court, where a judge assessed fines of up to $1,000 per day.

Driving past lots where dilapidated houses once stood, Feild now points to properties cleared of debris, with graded soil and brush kept to a reasonable height. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land that can be sold and developed.

Not all problem houses are demolished, though.

A 1950s vintage home with a tin roof showed shingled siding that had fallen away in places where wood underneath was rotting and showed termite damage. Branches from a tree were growing into the house.

But, the owner wants to repair the house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not Draconian about this.

Civil rights leader, former NC A&T More than a Jewelry and Gift Store professor pleads guilty to fraud Re-Silvering Clinic

GREENSBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A wellknown civil rights leader and retired N.C. A&T professor has agreed to plead guilty in federal court in connection with an elaborate fraud scheme that netted more than $400,000 from the estate of a deceased woman.

Claude Willie Barnes Jr., 58, of 1408 WileyLewis Road, has agreed to plead guilty to one count each of mail fraud, aggravated identity theft and engaging in a monetary transaction derived from unlawful activity, according to a plea agreement filed in federal court Tuesday.

The charges carry a maximum of 32 years in

federal prison, fines up to $750,000 and up to seven yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; probation, plus restitution to the deceased womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family.

In exchange for the plea, prosecutors are dropping two counts each of mail fraud and identity theft that Barnes faced.

The case involved the estate of Betty Sue Burton, 76, who lived across the street from Barnes at 1333 Wiley-Lewis Road and who died in October 2008.

In 2006, Barnes had been assigned to represent Burtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estate upon her death and to transfer her assets to her children.

Federal prosecutors said, however, that upon the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, he revoked the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living trust and transferred her

Barnes was then accused of conspiring with Koretta Ann King, Burtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in-home nurse, and two other people to defraud the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estate of cash, a trust fund, bank and annuity accounts and open lines of credit using fraudulent signatures.

Court documents say that King solicited her former roommate, Andrea Lee Barksdale, and another person, Alex Habersham, who were employees of the CitiBank call center in McLeansville, to open fraudulent credit accounts in Burtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name.

The call center workers then allegedly added King and themselves as authorized users of the credit cards.

Who’s deceived: Creationists or evolutionists?

Response to “Season of Reason”

by Robert Healy: A liberal’s believing in reason is similar to an evolutionist’s believing in science.

Both are contradictory.

Reason is the logical premise of an argument and deduction from facts.

Healy quoted from Kevin Phillips’ book “American Theocracy” the five critical symptoms of a nation’s decline that number three is “a rising commitment to faith as opposed to reason and a corollary downplaying science.”

Not knowing or acknowledging the God that created the universe and the scientific laws of nature (most of which were discovered by creationists) that govern it, evolutionists just rewrite them.

Healy goes on to state, “Couple with creationism Intelligent Design and the building of the Creation Museum where visitors are taught dinosaurs and humans coexisted a mere 6000 years ago.”

These facts from Paluxy River, Glen Rose, Texas, are documented on film by Drs. Patton and Baugh: human footprints alongside and inside those of a giant three-toed dinosaur’s tracks.

This evidence was unsuccessfully suppressed and/or destroyed.

(Note a similar attempt at suppressing/destroying contradictory evidence in the climate control controversy.)

The name “dinosaur” did not exist before 1840 when a paleontologist discovered a dragon fossil

and renamed it dinosaur, a practice evolutionists continue today.

They rename fossils identical to animals alive on earth, and living fossils (animals evolutionists said disappeared from earth millions of years ago) are found alive on earth today.

Those large marine and land animals (dinosaurs), God called dragons 16 times in the Bible.

Dragons have lived on earth 6,000 years and some are alive today (not as large as before the Flood).

Dinosaurs lived millions of years before man in the imaginary world of evolution.

Now apply reason, a deduction from facts. Who’s deceived – creationists or evolutionists?

OUR VIEW

ven with the community serving as home to the world’s largest and most prestigious home furnishings market and a dozen highprofile visitor destinations, many residents fail to recognize the economic impact travel and tourism have on the greater High Point area.

It’s because of that impact – $16.9 billion for the state of North Carolina and $1.1 billion for Guilford County – that locals need to “worry” about, get involved and support the area’s travel and tourism industry. If you bundle the economic impact figures for Davidson, Forsyth and Randolph – the other counties in which potions of the city of High Point lie – the dollar total is $860 million.

Even at the rates that federal and state government spend money these days, the nearly $2 billion impact on the four-county area is anything but chump change.

For much of the last century, the furniture and hosiery industries dominated the local scene with such strength that High Point boasted, with considerable credibility, for a time that it was both the world’s furniture and hosiery capital.

Tourism’s influence has gained considerable prominence locally over the last three decades.

In Guilford County, 12,790 jobs and $281 million in payroll are directly attributable to travel and tourism.

If you read the stories in Friday’s edition of The High Point Enterprise, you recognize tourism traffic has waned locally the last couple of years.

That’s why it is so important for you to participate in the Bring it Home High Point program that the High Point Convention & Visitors Bureau has revitalized and currently is promoting.

In simple terms, CVB is asking that if you belong to a group or organization that hold conventions or meetings elsewhere, to provide CVB with contact information for the decision makers and meeting planners so attempts can be made to hold those conferences and meetings in High Point.

It’s easy, just fill out one of the coupons in Bring It Home High Point advertisements.

You’ll be helping your community.

An independent newspaper

t’s too bad you weren’t able to visit The High Point Enterprise newsroom between 6:45 and 7:45 p.m. Thursday night. The scene was reminiscent of decades gone by when politicos, their groupies and other townspeople used to gather in newspaper offices to get the latest on election returns.

On Thursday, however, some members of the Enterprise’s Readership Committee 2009-10 were counting obituaries instead of votes as they looked over copy editor Dwight Davis’ shoulders. Sherrie Dockery, HPE managing editor; Lisa Wall, Thomasville Times editor; and Kathy Stuart, Archdale-Trinity News editor, had spent an hour earlier explaining both the differences and the similarities of daily, three-times-a-week and weekly newspaper operations, and how journalism had been a “calling” for each of them.

Eating a quick “lunch” following the presentations, Readership Committee members headed from the conference room to the newsroom to find out first-hand a little of what goes into putting the newspaper “to bed” every night.

I showed a half-dozen committee members how the editorial page, as an example, gets from the newsroom to the pressroom via a computer-to-plate process, and had demonstrated how we place letters to the editor, guest columns, editorials, etc., on the hpe.com Web site. As I left my office after that, still chatting with a three committee members, I glanced across the newsroom and saw: • Two or committee members observing and talking with Mark McKinney and Greer Smith in the sports department, • Another cluster hovered around Dockery as she worked on the front page, • Two more watching every keystroke and mouse move by copy editor Andy English, • And another trio watching and commenting on Davis’ attempt to find space on 2A and 3A for some of the 20 obituaries for which head to find room in addition to space on 2B (the designated page for obituaries).

At the same time, Davis was determining which stories that had been scheduled for 2A and 3A either had to be tossed or saved for the Saturday edition.

• A couple of others. who had been visiting with lifestyle copy editor Jimmy Carroll as he finished up the last of his batch of “advance” pages for Sunday’s edition, drifted across the newsroom toward the copy desk.

The scene brought back vivid memories of the chaos crowds of 40 or 50 brought to the Idaho Statesman newsroom on election nights in the 1960s. Main difference: Thursday night’s crowd was orderly, even helpful.

OPINION It was a good feeling, watching people still fascinated by Tom newspapers finding out just Blount how things work, asking ques■■■ tions, making comments, offering suggestions, actually taking part – at least in some small way – in production of Friday’s edition.

The Enterprise staff, especially members of the close-knit group that works the night shift, benefits greatly from opportunities to get instant reader reaction as stories and photos are edited, processed and placed on pages, as headlines and photo captions are written, as pages are proofed. They take advantage of reader suggestions on how to make this or that more meaningful or more useful.

We teach committee members about newspapering; committee members teach us about readership.

If you have been thinking about applying for Readership Committee 2010-11, which begins in September, and wonder if it’s worthwhile, ask James Brigham, Kim Cakal, Fran Cook, Charlotte Denig, Matthew Dunn, Lucile Hurley, Carol and Tony Hoglen, Herman Hunter, M.L. Koebberling, Josiane Laumann, Mary Jane Lindsay, Babby Ludgin, Beverly McCabe, Phil Morris, Dave Ogren, Gary Phaup, Alma Sawyer, Abigaile Pittman, Bob Segal and Lorraine Thielmann. They all are engaged in the process and help us provide a better newspaper for you.

Note: We realize the current stocks listings leave quite a bit to be desired and we’re working to correct that and, shortly, the metals listings will return to the business page report. Meanwhile, please check the stocks symbol key that’s provided each Monday morning, clip it and use it to identify symbols of stocks in which you are interested. As you consider the current turmoil, think about those signs you sometimes see at highway construction projects that read, “Temporary inconvenience for permanent improvement.”

Hinson offers 7-point pattern

BY BILL BREWER

C

athy Hinson, a declared candidate for Congress, has been informed by a professional politician, “She would be bad for the Republican Party.” I contend this feisty, 58-year-old business professional with three post-graduate degrees and school teaching experience can discern between truth and error and would be great for the American people.

Part of her platform is to start a Constitutional Amendment to force controls on Congress: (1) two four-year term limits, (2) roll back Congressional salaries and force retirement benefits comparable to American citizens, (3) eliminate pork and piggybacks, (4) require election monies from within voter districts, (5) elected officials required to write virgin bills only and each bill stands own its own merit, (6) $20,000 tax incentive for job training and development for small businesses, (7) stop the money flow to the Executive Branch.

Napoleon Hill wrote, “What the mind can conceive, the person can achieve.” The perfect law of liberty, the “royal law,” the “second law” is the only law the overrides justice, the “Savior’s law” – “thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself.”

Such a movement, originating in Washington with a national voice, can sweep 34 states to embrace this Constitutional Amendment to force limits on a Congress, who will not discipline thmselves.

government plane to fly her and her staff to and from California; paid junkets for Congress and staff (government funds) and to build “private” airports with government funds. “We the people” need a voice to restrict Congress – a movement to resound all across the nation; “enough is enough,” stop the money flow, force sacrifice and limit the ability to be a professional politician!

Von Steuben, a German captain, was sent by Benjamin Franklin to George Washington at Valley Forge to train the Continental Army. After two days of observing starving men freezing in summer clothing, no shoes in the snow, the frozen dead being hauled off daily in open wagons, he went to Washington with one question “What keeps them here?” Washington replied, “I would hope they have a taste of freedom and cannot let it go.”

I hope we Americans, still have that taste for freedom and will not let it go!

It happened in 2008 and again Tuesday. Those interviewed consistently said they voted for Brown because folks in Washington weren’t listening.

Political leaders of both parties in North Carolina can choose to believe what happened in Massachusetts isn’t applicable here, but they would be wrong to do so. Almost 25 of North Carolina voters are unaffiliated and don’t care whether a candidate is Republican or Democrat. In fact, the ugly party bickering among the left and right just drives more to become unaffiliated. People in our state are upset about the direction we are taking. Polls confirm the lack of trust in selfserving, unethical and uncaring politicians. While so many are being laid off or suffer pay cuts, government leaders raise their taxes. Raleigh is offering the same-old, same-old and people are ready for change.

This is the environment as we enter the May primaries and most likely will remain present in November’s general elections. The status quo has changed and candidates who want to lead had better understand the new dynamic. Voters want candidates who listen not to lobbyists, special interests or even to party leaders, but listen to the average person and especially to the unaffiliated voters.

Winning candidates must also have real and reasoned solutions to the state’s serious problems. The electorate will be voting for change and winning candidates had better be prepared to offer it. Moreover, the candidate who promises change but doesn’t deliver won’t be on stage long. That’s the lesson from Massachusetts.

About America Lessons learned, lessons forgotten: You’re fired!

BY ARMSTRONG WILLIAMS

I

t is extremely difficult to understand how the president and his White House staff feels that the loss in Massachusetts is no reflection on his leadership, policies or agenda.

Have they become so arrogant and out of touch? Will they remain stubborn, blind and deaf, only to continue to ignore the will of the people?

The people personally like and respect our president, but he needs to hear their outcry, anger and disgust with the direction our America is quickly headed. The victory in Massachusetts Tuesday night was not about Republicans or Democrats, it was about America.

America fired the Republicans in 2006 and 2008, and hired the Democrats in the process.

The people have since turned the tables and have become so utterly disappointed with what few positive results the Democrats have produced that they are now firing them in hopes that they will finally get someone who represents their interests and not the interests of banks, Wall Street, the auto industry, insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies.

In other words, everyday Americans would like to see their individual lives improved from the many policies Congress and the White house are now initiating.

Mayday! Mayday! Abandon health care, abandon cap and trade, give us real immigration

reform, protect us against terrorism, create jobs in the economy and listen to our angst!

The midterm election started Tuesday night, 10 months in Opinion advance. Tuesday night’s midterm Armstrong election results Williams don’t bode well for our president, Congress, and the current Democratic leadership.

And, the Republicans are no better, as they haven’t shown the leadership expected to thrive and succeed at a time when our country needs them most. Irrespective, the American people have decided: Democrats are worse! And they will continue to fire them until they understand and put in place policies that serve them, and not their monarchical mentality.

The people have spoken: to

----

Democrats, Republicans and to anyone else who wants to lead them, both in Congress and in the White House. They need jobs, a health care plan that doesn’t punish us and destroy our entrepreneurial way of life.

Cap and trade is destructive to the economy for many states in this country. Wake up Mr. President, Congress, Republicans and Democrats alike; the American people are livid, disgusted and fatigued with a Washington that only serves their selfish interest.

And, if you don’t start serving the American people, then, like they say on the apprentice, “You’re fired!”

DEVASTATING SHOT Isn’t it ironic that Ted Kennedy’s death resulted in the self-destruction of Health Care reform? When Kennedy first learned of his imminent mortality he should have resigned his Senate office immediately.

At that point his coveted Senate seat for 47 years would

have been filled by a liberal Democrat. His hubris caused him to believe that only he could see Health Care Reform to the finish line. Now in place of an administration’s successful health care reform, it is in shambles and eventually will be dead and buried.

Even the magic of Kennedy’s mystique after his death could not prevent the unknown candidate in the pickup truck from pointing out that the emperor had no clothes. It took an everyday American like us in that pickup truck to ignite a National revolt against President Obama and his public policy agendas.

It is not coincidental that the rejection of socialism, high taxes and government restrictions on personal health care choice, all implicit in the health care legislation, should take place in the common wealth of Massachusetts.

History reminds us that Massachusetts was the cradle of the American Revolution. It began with high taxes, and restrictions on civil liberties imposed by the British Crown.

The people of the Bay state refused to succumb to a new despot imposing higher taxes and restrictions on freedom.

Just as Massachusetts paved the way for the American Revolution; it has now set the stage for the National rejection of Obama’s hidden social agenda.

Republicans now are ‘Party of Darkness’

BY GARY PARKER

T

he Republican Party today too often is represented by people like “Shouting Joe” Wilson, John “Vote No” Boehner, and Sarah “Death Panels” Palin. Clearly, the Party is imploding. If the Republican Party doesn’t come to grips with this self-destructive character, a new political party will have to form in order for American politics to continue with a viable two party system.

As more and more people refuse to identify themselves as Republicans and now become independents and Democrats (including respected politicians like Lincoln Chafee and Arlen Specter), it’s clear that this may have already begun.

It may be that what we’ll see is Democrats versus independents with a fringe party of very conservative Republicans.

It seemed to start with Richard Nixon’s admen followed by those mean-spirited Congressmen like Newt Gingrich, Tom

And in the past, both parties could develop legislation through compromise and Delay and Dick Armey who move this country forward in developed the “Contract with a progressive direction, even America.” It continued with if only incrementally.

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden (center) poses for a photo with Gen. Raymond Odierno, the top U.S. commander in Iraq (left) and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Christopher Hill, right, in Baghdad, Iraq, Friday. Biden arrived in Baghdad to try to ease rising tensions that have threatened to delay Iraq’s March elections.

Biden: US will appeal dismissal of Blackwater case THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The U.S. will appeal a court decision dismissing manslaughter charges against five guards from N.C.-based Blackwater Worldwide involved in a deadly 2007 Baghdad shooting, U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said Saturday.

Biden’s announcement after a meeting with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani shows just how diplomatically sensitive the incident remains nearly three years later. A lawyer for one guard, noting that word of the intended appeal came in Iraq, accused the Obama administration of political expediency and the U.S. was pursuing an innocent man, rather than justice.

Blackwater security contractors were guarding U.S. diplomats when the guards opened fire in Nisoor Square, a crowded Baghdad intersection, on Sept. 16, 2007. Seventeen people were killed, including women and children, in a shooting that inflamed anti-American sentiment in Iraq.

Biden expressed his “personal regret” for the shooting and said the Obama administration was disappointed by the dismissal. “A dismissal is not an acquittal,” he said.

The U.S. rebuffed Iraqi demands that the U.S. contractors face trial in Iraqi courts. After a lengthy investigation, U.S. prosecutors charged five of the contractors with manslaughter and took a guilty plea from a sixth.

But the case fell apart when a federal trial judge in Washington, Ricardo Urbina, said in a Dec. 31 ruling that the Justice Department mishandled evidence and violated the guards’ constitutional rights.

Prosecutors now face difficult odds getting an appeals court to reinstate the case.

The dismissal outraged many Iraqis, who said it showed the Americans considered themselves above the law. The Iraqi government began collecting signatures for a class-action lawsuit from victims who were wounded or lost relatives.

Click with caution Beware of common, but rare, mistakes with electronic refunds Inside...

----

Things to double-check before hitting the “send” button. 2C

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – The Internal Revenue Service and state tax agencies are encouraging taxpayers to “go paperless” and choose to handle income tax returns electronically, offering a quicker turnaround on refunds.

As more taxpayers take

advantage of electronic refund deposits, though, it raises the specter of what can happen if a payment is routed to a wrong financial account. The IRS and N.C. Department of Revenue report that mistakes with electronic refunds occur with a slight fraction of returns.

But if someone happens to be the individual who doesn’t receive a refund into an account, the taxpayer faces the hassle of trying to sort out the problem and secure the money. Representatives with the IRS and Department of Revenue indi-

cate to The High Point Enterprise that the tax agencies can’t offer an ironclad assurance that all taxpayers will receive their refund money in the event of an error.

Mistakes with electronic refunds occur because the taxpayer or tax preparer provides the wrong financial account number for the electronic deposit or a tax agency worker enters incorrect digits processing a claim.

On its Web site, the IRS indicates that the federal tax agency “assumes no responsibility for tax preparer or taxpayer error” if an incorrect routing number is provided.

If a taxpayer omits a digit in the account or routing number and it doesn’t pass the IRS’s validation check, the IRS will send a

paper check for the entire refund. The IRS reports it also will mail a paper check if the taxpayer’s financial institution rejects and returns the deposit to the IRS. If a taxpayer incorrectly enters “an account or routing number that belongs to someone else and your designated financial institution accepts the deposit, you must work directly with the respective financial institution to recover your funds,” according to the IRS. If the IRS makes the mistake, “the taxpayer would be advised to contact the IRS as soon as possible in order to work toward resolving the issue,” said Mark Hanson, spokesman at the IRS regional office in Greensboro.

Department of Revenue

spokesman Thomas Beam in Raleigh said in most cases, electronic refund deposits with incorrect account numbers are returned to the department by banks.

“In isolated cases, the incorrect bank account number provided by the taxpayer may match the bank account number of another taxpayer at that bank, and the taxpayer’s refund is deposited into that bank account,” Beam said. “When this situation is brought to the department’s attention, the department will work with the receiving bank to try to retrieve the funds. In some instances banks are unable to return the funds to the department.” pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Scrap center owner ain’t talkin’ junk

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT - The bundles of copper wire and metal pipes may be trash to the man who backed his truck up to the garage of Recycling Center & Services, but those items are treasures to Alan Cargal.

Operations manager at the business, Cargal unloads the items onto a large scale that even cars can drive onto. The weight is 44 pounds, and Cargal already is thumbing through the money he owes the customer for the small pile of odds and ends, soon to be added to the growing collection of metal and automobile scraps at the center.

“I’ve always enjoyed doing this,” Cargal said.

“I’ve always enjoyed dealing with used cars and running big equipment.”

Cargal, a High Point native, mans the business, located at 1221 Westover Drive. He said recycling has become slightly more popular since the “going green” trend came to be, but bringing scrap metal to his 1-year-old facility also has become popular for another reason.

“People need money,” he said. “We have a lot of people who sell stuff for money to pay their bills. They’re even selling stuff they don’t really want to sell.”

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

Alan Cargal operates Recycling Center and Services on Westover Drive.

Cargal recalls a woman who came in a few weeks ago to sell some sterling silver. She didn’t want to let go of the jewelry, but she needed cash. So Cargal took it off her hands.

He buys most metal, junk and salvage cars that customers bring to him, weighing all items on the massive scales that look like large slabs of metal themselves. Afterwards, he sifts through the items and decides what to do with it next.

Sometimes, he cleans aluminum or copper and sells it to those who buy the pure substance. Sometimes he sells items on eBay, and oth-

er times he leaves the items in his junk yard for a lucky person to find.

“There’s stuff that comes Occupation: Operations manager of Recycling Center and Services, 1221 Westover Drive in here people wouldn’t even think of,” he said, noting one man found a Hometown: High Point set of rare tractor tires at the center. “Some people Age: 51 come out here just to look through the stuff.

Boyles furniture parent exits bankruptcy MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

CHARLOTTE — The parent company of Boyles furniture stores emerged from bankruptcy Wednesday, seven months after filing for Chapter 11 protection to reorganize and shed debts related to a failed expansion into

housing bubble-plagued Florida.

Hendricks Furniture Group, based in Conover, near Hickory, plans to focus now on its remaining Boyles stores in North Carolina, which it says are profitable and the historic core of its business.

Boyles has locations in Pineville, Hickory, High

Point and an outlet/clearance center in Mocksville.

It has closed stores in Greenville, S.C., and near Northlake mall in northern Charlotte within the last year.

At its peak, the company operated 34 stores in the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida, most under names other than Boyles,

with retail sales of more than $270 million a year, according to a court filing.

However, the collapse of the housing market and an accompanying decline in home furnishings spending forced Hendricks to shrink significantly. Sales at U.S. furniture stores were down 11 percent in 2009,

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

after also falling in 2008, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Privately held Hendricks said the bankruptcy enabled it to reduce debts and lease obligations associated with shuttered stores.

The reorganization proposal was approved by 98 percent of creditors.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The weak economy is driving thrifty consumers to prepaid wireless companies as they search for cheaper ways to stay connected on the go.

Prepaid phone plans that average $25 to $50 a month, compared with $50 to $100 or more for monthly contract service, are gaining in popularity.

Their main appeals: lower costs, no contracts and no deposit or credit check requirements.

“Wireless subscribers are becoming more aware of their options and are looking at a prepaid cell phone as a way to save money on their monthly bill,” said Richard Murphy, a wireless and mobile communications research analyst at IDC, based in Massachusetts.

“Prepaid services allow consumers to pay for exactly what they need,” Murphy said.

Consumers such as Pascal Dor of Miami are ditching carriers in pursuit of the best deal. Dor said he switched from MetroPCS to Boost Mobile about six months ago, lured by the carrier’s $50 unlimited plan.

“It’s a little bit better,” he said while checking a service issue recently at a Boost store in Davie.

Radical belt-tightening by consumers burdened with financial worries has helped fuel demand for more affordable wireless.

This in turn has increased competition among prepaid companies as they vie to retain or gain market share.

Boost introduced a $50 unlimited plan in January 2009, offering unlimited nationwide talk, text, Web and walkie-talkie for the flat rate.

IRS pushes electronic filing. 1C

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Whether a taxpayer files a return by mail or electronically, tax agency representatives say it’s critical to doublecheck or triple-check information to make sure a refund arrives to the right place.

The Internal Revenue Service and N.C. Department of Revenue are encouraging taxpayers to opt for an electronic deposit of a refund, which is quicker for the taxpayer and less expensive to process for the tax agencies.

The IRS reports on its Web site that an electronically delivered refund can arrive in as early as 10 days, compared to several weeks for a traditional paper check return by mail.

“The Internal Revenue

Service debuted e-file nationally in 1990, delivering 4.2 million tax returns. Last year, IRS e-file delivered 95 million tax returns, 66 percent of all returns filed,” according to the federal tax agency’s Web site.

The Department of Revenue reports it made 1.3 million direct deposits totaling $919 million for its most recent tax year.

“The error rate, or percentage of direct deposits that cannot be completed, is less than 1 percent.

Holidays, PayPal boost eBay

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — EBay Inc. said Wednesday its fourth-quarter earnings climbed, bolstered by growth in its PayPal payments business and a holiday shopping season that was healthier than the year before. The company also logged a large gain from the November sale of its Skype telecommunications business.

EBay, which runs online auctions and e-commerce sites, has been working to improve the shopping experience on

its main site. During the holiday season, it tried to attract customers by focusing on deals from sellers who included free shipping and guaranteed returns on new items.

It also promoted products that were new but not the latest model, emphasizing another way shoppers could get namebrand products at steep savings.

Its strategy appears to have worked, despite stiff competition from retailers on and off the Web: In the fourth quarter,

eBay’s earnings, excluding one-time items such as a $1.4 billion gain from the Skype sale, totaled 44 cents per share — 4 cents more than what analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected.

Including those onetime items, eBay earned $1.36 billion, or $1.02 per share, compared with $367 million, or 29 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter.

EBay, which is based in San Jose, said revenue rose 16 percent to $2.37 billion, slightly above the

$2.29 billion that analysts were expecting.

In eBay’s biggest segment — which includes eBay.com, Shopping.com and other e-commerce sites — revenue rose 15 percent to $1.5 billion, helped by more sales of fixed-price items and an increase in international sales.

The number of active registered eBay users rose 3 percent from the year-ago period to 90.1 million.

Although eBay’s main business of auctions and

“Buy It Now” offerings has faltered over the past several years, PayPal has thrived as an increasing number of consumers and merchants use it to send money online, both on and off eBay. EBay CEO John Donahoe expects PayPal’s revenue to surpass that of eBay’s marketplace in the next few years.

In eBay’s payments segment, which includes PayPal and short-term credit service Bill Me Later, revenue rose 28 percent to $795.6 million.

Sallie Mae posts Google rides fourth-quarter profit on rising ad sales

RESTON, Va. (AP) — The student lender best known as Sallie Mae reversed its year-ago loss and posted a fourth-quarter profit Wednesday, but missed Wall Street expectations, partly on losses related to the sale of its mortgage purchased paper business.

SLM Corp. said it earned $309 million, or 52 cents per share in the period. That compared to a loss of $216 million, or 52 cents per share, last year.

Core earnings, which exclude loans bundled as securities and derivatives, were $249 million, or 41 cents per share. On that basis, analysts polled by Thomson Re-

uters expected a profit of 44 cents per share.

The Reston, Va., lender’s fourthquarter results a year ago included an unrealized loss of $439 million, before taxes, on some derivative contracts.

For the full year, Sallie Mae said core earnings were $597 million, or 96 cents per share, compared to $526 million, or 89 cents per share in 2008. Analysts had forecast a profit of 97 cents per share, for 2009.

Sallie Mae originated $4.5 billion in federal students loans in the fourth quarter, up 14 percent from last year.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Google Inc. revved up its fourth-quarter Internet advertising sales to approach $2 billion in quarterly profit for the first time, providing the strongest sign yet that Internet search leader has shaken off the recession’s doldrums.

The results announced Thursday topped analyst estimates, but evidently weren’t enough to please investors.

Google shares dived more than 4 percent in extended trading.

Google earned $1.97 billion, or $6.13 per share, in the final

three months of 2009. That was up dramatically from income of $382 million at the same time last year, when Google’s earnings were deflated by charges to reflect the eroding value of some investments.

Fourth-quarter revenue totaled $6.7 billion, a 17 percent increase.

Google’s revenue growth had bogged down to just 5 percent through the first nine months of 2009. The company’s quarterly growth had never fallen below 10 percent until last year.

Airlines cut capacity MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

DALLAS — At just about any major U.S. airport, airplanes crowd the taxiways and gates and line up for their turn to depart. There seems to be an overwhelming, everincreasing number of flights.

But the truth is that most large U.S. carriers are smaller than they were last year or the year before, and some have shrunk to their size from two decades ago.

Consider this: • American Airlines Inc.’s 2009 capacity, measured in available seat miles flown, fell to its lowest level since 1991. The drop happened despite American’s 1998 acquisition of Reno Air Inc. and its 2001 purchase of Trans World Airlines Inc. assets.

• United Airlines Inc.’s capacity last year was its lowest since 1990.

• The combined capacity of Delta Air Lines Inc. and Northwest Airlines Inc. dropped to 1991 levels.

The carriers merged in 2008 under Delta’s name.

• Capacity at US Airways Inc. and America West Airlines Inc., which merged in 2005, declined to the lowest level since 1989. The combined company flies as US Airways.

Even Southwest Airlines Co. and AirTran Airways Inc., which have had a high-growth philosophy throughout their histories, shrank their operations in 2009.

Among the nation’s nine largest carriers, only JetBlue Airways Corp. flew more capacity in 2009 than the year before — 0.4 percent more.

While airlines have cut flights, employees and fleets, their passenger traffic hasn’t declined as much as their capacity.

Hearing well, and then listening

BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

Some men care about communication so much that they take extra steps to make certain that, despite hearing loss, they hear effectively in the workplace.

For them, hearing is a first step; listening, its followthrough. They’re in their 20s through 50s.

The first, Carlos Gomez of Brooklyn, N.Y., has made music his career for 15 years. A freelance DJ in nightlife culture nationwide and an electronic music producer, he creates music in his studio.

The second, Fadi ElTal, a support engineer at Apple Computers Inc., in Cupertino, Calif., works as a liaison between the engineering team and the contact centers. Denver’s Stephen Franklin is a lead engineer at United Launch Alliance L.L.C., which launches satellites.

Here are some of the problems they encountered at work: • headaches. Considerable loss of hearing in his “music” ear caused straining and uncertainty in face-to-face and telephone conversations. (Gomez) • failed understanding.

Lower voices in meetings never quite registered.

(ElTal)

AP

Support engineer Fadi ElTal had difficulty hearing when he used a speaker phone but now uses a hearing aid that makes communication much easier. He works at Apple Computers Inc., in Cupertino, Calif.

• embarrassment. Normal or quiet voices nearby in meetings were not perceptible unless the person sat immediately in front of him. Ambient noise in large meetings required him to stare at a person . . . not always possible in a large room. (Franklin)

serves Sharon Campbell, president of the Pueblo Chapter of Hearing Loss Association of America.

Gomez says that people in his group warn each other if the monitor is too loud, distorting the noise on the floor. ElTal encountered diminished productivity when callers were put ‘CLEAR COMMUNICATIONS’ on speaker in meetings.

“The onus is on every- When he had questions, he one to make sure that went to meeting notes, if clear communications available, then e-mail or a happen in the office,” ob- phone call. Franklin men-

tions that e-mails often go out to confirm what’s discussed, but “you have to take responsibility for information that’s made available. Life becomes very insulating if you don’t and you eventually will fall behind everyone.

“It’s really difficult in the technical world,” he adds, “where we’re often asked at the end of a meeting if we concur with something.

If you haven’t heard well and say you concur with

it, you’re putting the company at risk. There are no do-overs in our business.”

CO-WORKERS However, there is an additional experience some people in their situation encounter. Campbell indicates that co-workers can be more than mean, “deliberately saying something to the hard of hearing employee and then, when called on it, claim that the hard of hearing employee

‘misunderstood.’ ” Failed communication becomes the “fault” of the employee, who is often fired.

Franklin, who’s never encountered this problem, feels that it’s cultural, reflecting an unstable environment where people fear for their jobs. Only Gomez, the DJ, has experienced something close to it – “gentle ribbing among friends.” He concedes that when it happens repeatedly for six years or longer, it begins to have an impact.

Each of these men uses a hearing aid. ElTal loves his Lyric in-canal hearing aid (InSound Medical, Inc.) because of its clarity, use of the ear to enhance sounds and invisibility. Gomez enjoys his Songbird (Songbird Hearing Inc.), because it’s occupationally-specific, designed for musicians early in their careers and in their hearing loss.

Franklin likes his Siemens Pure 700 (Siemens Hearing Instruments Inc.) because of its functionality, size, convenience and design.

All three take responsibility for hearing well and for listening. We should all take note.

VMI men nip HPU

BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – For all the 3-pointers and fast-break layups and offensive rebounds and turnovers that were supposed to decide Saturday night’s game, it came down to something much simpler.

Free throws.

VMI’s Austin Kenon went 6-for-6 from the foul line in the final 14 seconds and the Keydets survived a rally by the High Point University men for a 94-91 victory before a breathless crowd of 1,750 at the Millis Center.

The game, which featured an efficient Panthers’ attack early, a VMI surge that led to a 19-point advantage and HPU’s spirited comeback, remained in doubt until Nick Barbour’s open 3-pointer hit the back of the rim at the buzzer.

“When we were down four with 11 seconds left, I knew we were going to win the game,” HPU redshirt freshman forward Corey Law said. “That’s how much I believe in this team. It just went the other way.”

High Point (10-9, 5-4 Big South) contained the nation’s highest-scoring team and led by as many as seven points before the Keydets (6-12, 2-7) ended the first half on a 13-5 run sparked by Keith Gabriel’s two 3-pointers.

The second half opened just as disastrously for the Panthers, who allowed Keydet guards Gabriel, Adam Lonon and Kenon to slice through the lane at will for layups in a 15-2 run that put the lead at 69-50 with 16:12 to play.

“We let them shoot 60 percent in the first half,” HPU coach Scott Cherry lamented. “We talked about it at halftime. They were really driving the ball. We’ve got to sit down, get in a stance, and guard somebody.”

But the Panthers didn’t – at least until digging themselves that huge hole.

“I thought the first five minutes of the second half we were about as good as we’ve been all year,” said VMI coach Duggar Baucom, whose star freshman – Stan Okoye – had 20 of his career-high 24 points in the first half. “We had a little meltdown at the end, but luckily it didn’t burn us.”

The Panthers’ first home loss of the season came about when the rally fell short. Eugene Harris (18 points) began attacking the rim and Law (13 points, 15 rebounds) got several putbacks that trimmed the margin to 86-82 with less than two minutes to play.

Nick Barbour added two driving layups for the last of his 21 points and trimmed the deficits to 86-84 and 8886, but in between, High Point couldn’t capitalize on a VMI turnover and a Keydet misfire from 3.

Harris missed an open 3, and Law saw an alleyoop pass from Barbour go through his hands for a turnover on a 2-on-1 break. David Singleton’s deep 3-pointer made it 90-89 with 7.9 seconds left, but Kenon’s free throws left no margin for error.

“We made some plays, maybe didn’t make some plays we should have,” Law said with a shake of his head.

“That’s the way it works.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Maier, Brown spark HPU women SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

CLINTON, S.C. – Mackenzie Maier scored 21 points and Shamia Brown had a double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds to help the High Point University

women’s basketball team pull out a hard-fought 69-64 win over Presbyterian on Saturday night.

The Panthers improved to 12-7 overall and 5-1 in the Big South. HPU tied a season high with 11 3-pointers.

Terps trample Wolfpack

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) – Maryland wasn’t about to ruin Gary Williams’ 1,000th game as a college head coach by losing.

Not at home, certainly not against an Atlantic Coast Conference foe.

The Terrapins didn’t even make Williams sweat.

Greivis Vasquez scored 17 of his 19 points in the second half, Landon Milbourne finished with 18 and Maryland rolled to its most lopsided ACC victory

in nearly seven years, 88-64 over N.C. State on Saturday night. Williams is 638-362 over a 32-year coaching career. He is 431-234 in 21 seasons at Maryland, where he won the 2002 national championship.

Williams’ latest victory at his alma mater, combined with Virginia’s loss at Wake Forest, lifted the Terrapins (13-5, 3-1) into a tie atop the ACC standings.

Tracy Smith scored 18 for N.C. State (13-7, 2-4).

Wake Forest’s Chas McFarland (13) gets fouled by Virginia’s Assane Sene during Saturday’s ACC showdown at Joel Coliseum. McFarland finished with 16 points and six rebounds as the Deacons handed the Cavaliers their first ACC loss, 69-57.

Deacs derail Cavs in ACC showdown

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – Wake Forest brought Virginia’s magical Atlantic Coast Conference start to a screeching halt Saturday.

If not for a late spurt by the Cavaliers, the stoppage would have been with a resounding thud.

With a 13-1 run, the Decas seized a 34-15 halftime lead, then led by 24 with just over eight minutes to play before holding on 69-57 to hand the first-place Wahoos their first conference loss in four games.

Wake (14-4, 4-2) built it commanding advantage on the back of Ish Smith shredding Virginia’s defense by either driving into the lane for buckets or lobbing the ball to Chas McFarland near the bucket.

Smith finished with 21 points, grabbed seven rebounds and dished six assists. McFarland tallied 16 points and grabbed six rebounds. Al-Farouq Aminu had 10 points and 10 rebounds.

“We just had too many defensive breakdowns,” Virginia coach Tony Bennett said. “Our ball pressure wasn’t good (on Smith). We didn’t help out. We didn’t get back.”

Wake shot 23-of-44 from the field (52.3 percent) on the strength of Smith hitting 7-of-10 and McFarland making 7of-9. Smith and McFarland said that it helped that Virginia’s defense is the same as Wake’s and was designed by Bennett’s father, Dick.

“We go against that defense every day in practice and there is a little familiarity there,” Smith said. “I did a good job

getting it inside and Chas capitalized nearly every time I got it in there.”

Wake never trailed, scoring the first six points and then going up by 10 before Virginia (12-5, 3-1) closed to 18-14 with 8:43 left. The Cavaliers would get no closer, getting just a free throw for the rest of the half.

Virginia’s drought came while missing its last 12 field goals of the half as their top two scorers for the season – Sylvan Landesberg and Jeff Jones – sat on the bench after picking up two fouls each. Landesberg scored 18 before fouling out. Jones and Maustapha Farrakhan had 10.

Wake held the Cavaliers to 20.7 percent (6-of-29) shooting in the first half.

The 15 points for the first 20 minutes was the Cavaliers worst first-half output for the season. Their previous low was 21 against Stanford.

“We got outplayed early and often,” Bennett said. “They hit us in the mouth and we had too many breakdowns. Usually our defense is good enough to keep us in the game until our offense gets going.”

Wake enjoyed its biggest lead at 5531 with 8:02 left. Virginia scored 13 straight points but never got within 10. The Deacons committed seven turnovers in the last seven minutes on the way to 24 for the game but kept their margin by hitting 10 of 12 free throws in the last 3:36.

“We got a little casual with our passes,” Deacon coach Dino Gaudio said.

“We have to throw crisp passes – 24 turnovers are too many.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

WHO’S NEWS

HIT AND RUN

he old saying goes that when you fall off the horse, it’s important to get right back in the saddle.

When it comes to predicting NFL playoff outcomes, I haven’t just fallen off the horse.

The horse has also kicked me and dragged me across the ground and gone, well, you get the idea.

My track record has been a no-show so far this postseason.

But I’m ready for another ride.

So here goes with today’s AFC and NFC championship games.

HPU WOMEN PRESBYTERIAN

The Jets are flying high as they land in Indy. Rookie head coach Rex Ryan’s brash style has the New Yorkers thinking they can go all the way.

They won’t. Peyton Manning and company bring too much offensive firepower to the table. And the Colts defense delivers just enough big plays to frustrate Mark Sanchez and the Jets. Make it Indianapolis 27, New York 14.

Over in the NFC, the Vikings-Saints matchup offers more great storylines than the first season of “Mad Men.”

It’s the first time New Orleans has hosted an NFC title game. If the Vikings lose, it could be the last time we see Brett Favre in an NFL uniform (check back in August for that one).

Dree Brees and the Saints feature a ton of offensive firepower, but the Vikings pass rush should be just strong enough to allow Favre and company to prevail in a 35-31 classic.

Enjoy the action!

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

Mark Sanchez is hoping lightning strikes twice.

The New York Jets’ rookie QB showed up at his news conference Friday wearing a black T-shirt with the word “Wonderboy” printed across the chest, complete with a silver lightning bolt. That logo appeared on the magical bat of Roy Hobbs, the character played by Robert Redford in the 1984 film, “The Natural.”

The Jets play at the Colts today for the AFC title.

Carter injured as Bison girls net win

BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; High Point Centralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls may have suffered the biggest loss while defeating T.W. Andrews 59-31 on Saturday night.

Bison head coach Kenny Carter suffered what is thought to be a torn Achilles tendon.

Carter was injured when he left his feet to yell something to one of his players and came down awkwardly on his foot.

As for the game, the Bison withstood an Andrews rally that cut a 26-16 halftime deficit down to as little as five. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we just outlasted them,â&#x20AC;?

Bison assistant coach Dwain Waddell said.

Andrews coach Weaver Walden thoroughly enjoyed himself for most of the game.

His Red Raiders came out in the opening minutes and forged ahead to a 5-0 lead by executing a plan to slow the game and keep the ball away from Centralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought my girls played an outstanding game,â&#x20AC;? Walden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been talking and drilling in them about defensive intensity. I thought we did a much better job in that respect. I was also happy with the fact tonight, they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quit. They did the best they could against a good team.â&#x20AC;?

Central (16-1, 4-1 Metro 4A) played

crisply offensively in the fourth quarter after shooting woes in the first half kept the Bison from extending their lead.

Cedrica Gibson led Central to a 22-point fourth quarter and finished with 14 points and five steals.

Arielle Harris and Sania Davis added 12 and 11, respectively. Sequaya Jackson led Andrews with 11 points and Elaina Skarote had nine.

Central point guard held Bria Byrd to just four points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried to get the basketball out of (Byrd)â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands,â&#x20AC;? Waddell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On offense, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working on taking our opponents off the bounce. Tonight we were able to get the ball to the basket.â&#x20AC;?

Andrews boys roll past HP Central

BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; T. Wingate Andrews savored every last second of its 6546 win over High Point Central.

Chants of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey, hey, hey! Good bye!â&#x20AC;? were bellowed rhythmically Saturday night from the Andrews student section as Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hit song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another One Bites the Dustâ&#x20AC;? blared from the loud speakers at the conclusion of the contest.

Forgive the Red Raiders for their exuberance. Central was trying to sweep Andrews for the first time in several seasons but it was Andrews dancing around the gym to celebrate its avenging a 59-50 loss in December. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They beat us by nine, we came

Bobcats fall in OT CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jameer Nelson scored six of his 21 points in overtime and the Orlando Magic recovered after blowing a big lead to beat the Charlotte Bobcats 106-95 on Saturday night for their third straight victory.

After Stephen Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s layup with 1.2 seconds left in regulation completed Charlotteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comeback from a 16-point third-quarter deficit, Nelson hit a jumper and two free throws in an 11-0 run to start OT. D.J. Augustin scored 22 points for Charlotte.

home and knew we had to step up,â&#x20AC;? said Raider guard Jalen Ford, who scored a team-leading 15 points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had another guard to go down (with injury), so I had to play a lot of minutes. When I get others into the game, it opens up the floor.â&#x20AC;?

Spreading the court was only the beginning for Andrewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense.

The Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; backcourt broke down the Bison defense with penetration and distributed the ball effectively.

Ford was just one of three players in double-figures for Andrews.

Mark Johnson had 14 and Alex Smith pitched in 11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They stretched us out pretty good,â&#x20AC;? Bison coach Patrick Battle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a pretty good basketball team, so when you give them

good looks, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably going to knock them down.â&#x20AC;?

Central (7-8, 4-2 Metro 4A) suffered the setback in large part due to the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inability to knock down their open shots. As opposed to the red-hot Raiders, the Bison struggled to get in sync offensively all night.

Nonetheless, the Bison narrowed the lead to 51-46 with less than four minutes remaining in the contest, but Andrews (8-6, 3-1 PAC 6 2A) closed with a dominant 14-0 run to close the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know exactly what it was we did differently tonight, but it speaks well of these kids to see them step up,â&#x20AC;? Red Raiders coach James Abell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good win.â&#x20AC;?

Prugh surges ahead at Hope Classic THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LA QUINTA, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Alex Prugh surged ahead in the Bob Hope Classic when the sun finally came out Saturday, shooting a 7-under 65 on the tough La Quinta course to take a one-stroke lead over Bubba Watson and fellow tour rookie Martin Flores.

With his third straight remarkably consistent round in the five-round, four-course tournament, Prugh pulled ahead at 21-under 195. Prugh is the first rookie to lead a round at

Greensboro Gun Show coming up B

. J. Clodfelter loved a gun show as much as any man I ever knew. While it seems a very long time ago, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty sure I attended my first gun show with B.J. at the old Winston Salem Coliseum.

He would slowly amble from table to table, leaning over the tables to take everything in. He worked one side of the aisle at a time, to make sure he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss anything.

If he found something of interest, he would lean in even further and inquire if he could handle the gun or knife he was interested in and begin a dialog with the guy behind the table about price, history, etc. In later years, as his eyes changed, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d take his glasses out and carefully go over the gun or knife SPORTS as closely as if it might have some tiny inscription on it explaining the meanDick ing of life. If it passed his inspection, Jones the bargaining would begin. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; That stuffy, crowded, old venue where the Carolina Gun Collectors put on the best gun-show in the Triad is long gone. While that show was the best in the Triad in its day, the current best gun-show in North Carolina has been held in Greensboro for about 25 years. At about the time the old Winston Show ended, the Greensboro show began and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a more than adequate replacement. With about 600 tables, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the largest shows in North Carolina.

Typically, the best gun shows are in winter after Christmas. Vendors know that people get cabin fever in January and February and more tables are filled. In fact, the Greensboro show almost always sells out and turns vendors away. The best gun show I ever witnessed was the weekend of a brutal winter storm that dumped about a foot of snow on a Friday night. For some reason, everyone wanted to get out of the house that weekend and you could barely get down the aisles.

Since B.J. is no longer with us to teach proper gunshow conduct, here are a few tips for the first timer gun-show attendee:

THE LEGAL ASPECTS OF A GUN SHOW

---

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of misinformation that circulates around that, somehow, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gun-show Loopholeâ&#x20AC;? that allows firearms to be sold without the normal record keeping. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never understood how this has happened, unless itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an intentional bit of misinformation that came from organizations that are against individual firearms ownership.

Gun transactions at gun shows happen exactly as they do at gun stores except cell phones are used to call in the background check. The same forms are used and the same requirements have to be met for the transaction to occur. The same is true of transfers from one individual to another. The only real difference is that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a plainclothes ATF agent at most gunshows to monitor transactions and this rarely happens at the gun store.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfectly legal for individuals to sell or trade at a gun show. The same laws apply as do for any other location. Remember though, that individuals may not transfer a firearm to a person who resides in another state. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; DICK JONES

Know what you want before you go in unless you have a roll of cash you want to blow or you own a couple of oil wells in Dubai, you might want to focus primarily on what you need. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to get distracted at a gun show if you like guns.

Always ask permission to handle a gun. Some of the guns at a show cost $40 and some cost $40,000; always ask first.

Shop the whole show before you put the money down. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many times Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen someone buy something at a gun show and three rows later find the same thing at a much better price. This is particularly true of new items that are likely to be at the show in multiples. Used or old

The Charlotte Fly Fishing and Upland Hunting Show will be at the Park on Independence Boulevard (formerly known as the Charlotte Merchandise Mart) next weekend. Hours will be Friday, January 29, from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. and Saturday, January 30, from 8:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.. Admission is $15 per day or $25 for both days, $10 for uniformed military. Children under 12 are $2.

You can meet Bob Clouser, Sarah Gardener and Brian Horsley, Ian & Charity Rutter, Dick Talleur, Jim Casada, as well as Dash and Dez Young. Some of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best known specialists in upland hunting and fly fishing will be giving seminars on locations, special techniques, and patterns in fly fishing from the mountains to the coast. Upland game seminars will cover classic shotguns, dog training, and game preserve shooting opportunities. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be vendors from all over the country with fishing and hunting equipment. For even more information go to: flyfishingshow. com

items that are unusual donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count in this rule.

If you want it and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really good deal, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk off. There have been several times Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve stood quietly back while someone agonized about whether they should buy something and when they walked off, I scarfed it up.

Pay Attention. A few years ago I saw a rifle on a cluttered table. I looked at it somewhat absent mindedly. I asked the caliber and was told .30 WCF. I walked to the end of the aisle, just a few tables; suddenly I realized the gun was a rare Model 54 (the predecessor of the Model 70) in 30/30 and that the price was $500, about a third of the value of the gun.

I turned around and hurried back to see the vendor and a smart buyer making a transaction.

Get there early. The best bargains at a gun show happen in the first hour and the last hour. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot like deer hunting but for different reasons. Sometimes vendors have something they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to price. The first guy looking for this item could get a really good price. A friend of mine once bought a $300.22 conversion kit for a .45 automatic for $60 because the dealer who had it on his table didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what it was.

The last hour of the gun show is good because dealers sometimes get frustrated and want to take some cash home. If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something you want and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting late, make an offer, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Your chance to attend The Greensboro Gun Show is coming on February 5th and 6th at the Greensboro Coliseum Special Events Center. Tickets are $8 for adults, kids under 6 are free. Have fun and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend too much.

Davydenko makes his mark Down Under MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not difficult to pick the odd one out in this group of 28-year-old players: Roger Federer, Lleyton Hewitt, Nikolay Davydenko.

Federer has won a record 15 Grand Slam titles and is ranked No. 1. Hewitt was No. 1 before Federer hit the scene and has won the U.S. Open and Wimbledon. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll meet in the fourth round of the Australian Open after comfort-

able wins Saturday. Davydenko is on track to play the winner of that match in a quarterfinal.

The Williams sisters moved a step closer to a semifinal meeting, with defending champion Serena beating No. 32 Carla Suarez Navarro 6-0, 6-3. Venus advanced 6-1, 7-6 (4) over Australian wild-card entry Casey Dellacqua.

Davydenko, seeded sixth, beat Argentinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Juan Monaco 6-0, 6-3, 6-4.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ray Emery stopped the puck when it mattered most.

Emery made up for a third-period blunder by making a key save with 23 seconds left, leading the Philadelphia Flyers to a 4-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes.

Jeff Carter had two goals and an assist for the Flyers, who have won six consecutive home games and three straight overall.

Dan Carcillo and Chris Pronger also scored, and Emery finished with 33 saves. Eric Staal and Rod Brindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amour scored for Carolina (15-28-7), which has the worst record in the NHL. Brindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s power-play score came after an Emery turnover.

Austin Carty’s book, “High Points and Lows: Life, Faith and Figuring It All Out,” will be released Tuesday, and the author has several appearances scheduled.

Young man’s journey H

Austin Carty’s first book relates how the ‘Survivor’ star came to grips with his faith

BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – In the spring of 2006, Austin Carty claimed his 15 minutes of fame as one of the castaways on the hit reality show, “Survivor: Panama.”

Today, nearly four years after being banished from the show – after hearing those fateful words, “The tribe has spoken” – the 28-year-old High Point native finds himself trying to survive in a world where he won’t be required to eat bugs or drink cow blood, but where even the grittiest and most determined individuals have been chewed up and spit out.

He’s trying to survive in the publishing world.

Carty’s first book, “High Points and Lows: Life, Faith and Figuring It All Out,” will be released Tuesday, and a slew of book-signings and related appearances will follow.

“I’d be the biggest liar in the world to say there weren’t huge seasons of doubt,” Carty says. “‘What are you doing, Austin?

Why have you continued to do this?’ There was no shortage of people telling me that I was wasting my time and potential.

But I really did believe that I had a talent for writing, and more important, I knew I had a passion for it, and I really

WANT TO GO?

----

High Point resident Austin Carty’s new book, “High Points and Lows: Life, Faith and Figuring It All Out” (Penguin/ Plume, $14) will be released Tuesday.

Carty has scheduled the following public appearances in conjunction with the book’s release: • Book-signing Thursday, 7 p.m., at Barnes & Noble, 3102 Northline Ave., Greensboro.

• Book release party Jan. 31, 2 p.m., at Carter Brothers Barbecue, 3802 Samet Drive, High Point. Cake and refreshments served.

• Book-signing Feb. 5, 6 p.m., at Barnes & Noble, 906 Mall Loop Road, High Point.

• Book-signing Feb. 9, 7 p.m., at Borders, 252 S. Stratford Road, Winston-Salem.

believed that if I just kept trying and just kept working at honing my craft, pestering agents, pushing people, that eventually it would happen. So to finally see it happen, I feel this combination of excitement and great relief.”

The book, published by

Penguin/Plume, features 14 essays that explore Christianity through the eyes of a young man who has struggled to understand his faith and apply it to his life, but who now seems to be on the road to finding his place in the faith world. Written in a folksy, conversational tone – and punctuated with pop culture references and self-deprecating humor – the book has drawn advance praise from those who have read it.

“Austin Carty invites readers to share his most intimate misadventures in faith, doubt, television celebrity and Southern American coming-of-age,” wrote Koren Zailckas, a New York Times best-selling author. “...If St. Augustine watched cable television and drove a Dodge pickup, one wonders if ‘The Confessions’ wouldn’t read like this.”

An example of how Carty uses events in his own life to offer insights about faith is an essay called “Amway-ing for Jesus,” in which he recalls how he got involved with a network marketing program that taught him to view every person as a potential sale and every conversation as a pitch for his product.

“I started noticing how all of my friends were starting to avoid me because they knew I was gonna try to sell them my product,” he recalls.

“And it hit me like a ton of bricks one day that my method in approaching people about my network marketing product was the exact same as my approach when I felt that I was supposed to tell everybody about Jesus.

I didn’t know at the time how much misguided arrogance goes into an 18-year-old kid walking up to somebody you’ve never met and saying, ‘I know how you

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

should better live your life.’”

Carty, who developed somewhat of a reputation as “the Christian guy” during his days on “Survivor,” hopes his book will strike a chord with other young Christians and non-Christians alike.

“I think the primary target

’If St. Augustine watched cable television and drove a Dodge pickup, one wonders if “The Confessions” wouldn’t read like this.’

Carowinds amusement and water park is accepting applications and conducting onsite interviews for the 2010 season in all departments. The park plans to hire more than 2,100 seasonal employees for its 38th season of operation.

Employees will be hired to fill positions in the areas of food and beverage, rides, games, merchandise, admissions, marketing, aquatics, security, warehouse, cash services and guest services. Those wishing to apply must be at least 15 years old. An online application found at www.jobs4fun. com must be filled out prior to arriving at the employment office.

Interviews will be conducted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Applicants can report to the employment office located behind the park on Catawba Trace Boulevard Monday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Available positions are also posted at the aforementioned Web site.

For more information, applicants should call (704) 588-2600 or visit the park’s Web site at www.carowinds. com.

The park opens on March 27. For the most up-to-date operating schedule, go to www. carowinds.com.

Koren Zailckas Best-selling author audience would be 20-something and 30-something Christians who don’t quite know exactly where they fit in the faith conversation, but they know they are in it,” he says.

“But at the same time, I’m really hoping that the book will appeal to a crowd who don’t really identify as being Christians, but that are interested in hearing a Christian voice that is not offputting and that is presented in a way that is a little bit more palatable than what they’re used to.”

Will Carty succeed? Will he survive?

Time will tell. The book comes out Tuesday, and the tribe is about to speak. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Mom tries to make gift grabs more meaningful D

ear Abby: I have chosen to celebrate my childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthdays with family and one friend. I want my children to understand early on that birthdays are not about getting loads of gifts, but to celebrate life with family. We are invited to many parties for their friends and classmates, but I have always chosen to attend only those of our close friends.

I find it disheartening to watch children these days rip into a bunch of gifts and toss them aside without saying thank you or even commenting on the gift. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the next package and the volume.

Because of this, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m considering no longer giving a gift but making a donation to a charity in honor of the birthday boy or girl instead. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m worried about the reaction Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get from friends. On the other hand, I feel much better about donating to a worthwhile charity instead of another toy for children who already have so much these days.

Is a donation appropriate instead of a gift? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Wondering un Birmingham

Dear Wondering: Your sentiments are noble, but your teaching method ADVICE is heavyhanded Dear and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Abby recomâ&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; mend it. If the children are in grammar school, a donation in their name to a charity will go over like a lead balloon.

Teach your children proper manners by explaining how to practice them and setting a good example. By preventing them from interacting socially with their friends and classmates, you are slowing down their socialization and isolating them.

Because you prefer that your children not receive â&#x20AC;&#x153;loads of gifts,â&#x20AC;? when you plan their birthday celebrations, explain your philosophy to your family and your one friend and also to your children. Then let your kids choose a charity and request that attendees bring an item to be donated. That way

Dear Abby: My mother â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who is 50 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; divorced her husband about a year ago. I fully supported her through the divorce, but now I am beginning to regret it. I feel as if I have been taking the place of my fa-

And stop making yourself so available for mother- sitting. You are young and you have a right to a life. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be doing both you and your mom a favor if you stop allowing her to be so emotionally dependent upon you.

Dear Daughter: Yes. Do it now, before resentment builds and you reach the point where you say something youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll regret. Do it when you are both in a relaxed mood and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be interrupted.

Help with bills can reduce SSI benefit

Q

I’m 42 years old and have been approved to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability benefits. I was shocked to learn that my payment will be reduced because I live with my parents.

Why’s that?

A. SSI is a needs-based program, so any other income you receive – including nonmonetary income such as help with your bills or other expenses – can have an effect on your benefit payment. Your SSI payments may be reduced if you are receiving food, shelter, or monetary assistance. If you move, or if the situation in your parents’ household changes, be sure to contact Social Security.

For more information, visit www.socialsecurity.gov or call us toll-free at (800) 772-1213 or TTY at (800)325-0778.

SOCIAL SECURITY

---

Q. I am trying to save up for a car. I have $900 in the bank now and need a little more.

How much cash can I have in the bank without affecting my SSI eligibility?

A. The resource limit is $2,000. Unless you have other valuable resources, this means you could save up to $2,000 before you would become ineligible for SSI. We generally do not count your primary car, the home you live in or certain amounts set aside for burial expenses as resources. In some cases, if the vehicle you’re saving for is part of a plan to return to work, you can have higher resources – but Social Security would need to approve your plan in order to exclude those resources. For more information, you can visit our webpage about SSI at www.socialsecurity.gov/ssi. Or you can call Social Security’s toll-free number at (800) 772-1213 or TTY at (800) 325-0778 and ask for the publication, Supplemental Security Income.

FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, visit the Web site www.socialsecurity.gov or call toll-free at (800) 772-1213 or TTY at (800) 325-0778.

Cat’s dental problems could have many causes D

ear Dr. Fox: We have a 3-year-old Ragdoll cat, Gus, who is an extremely fussy eater. When we first got him, we fed him soft food and bit of dry/hard as a supplement. When so many cat foods were recalled, I tried making his food, but he wouldn’t eat it.

His teeth are not healthy. Not long ago, our veterinarian had to pull four teeth and prescribed a special diet of dry food by Science Diet formulated for cats with bad teeth.

Knowing what we know about nutrition for cats, we were uncomfortable feeding him only dry food, so we introduced him to Spot’s Stew, and he is wild about it. We feed him the stew once in the morning and once in the afternoon. We do not give him the recommended amount for his size, but we do give him the prescribed dry food as a supplement.

On average, he eats about a 1⁄4 cup of the prescribed food daily.

How can we to help him maintain the health of his teeth? We’ve tried many methods for brushing his teeth, but none have proven successful. – R.G., Woodstock, Md. Dear R.G.: Dental problems are common in cats and can be linked with other health problems, including diabetes mellitus and underlying chronic viral infection.

I don’t see how a hard/dry food can benefit a cat with bad teeth, gum disease and recent tooth extractions.

High cereal content in the dry food could bring on diabetes, obesity and liver disease.

Add a few drops of cod-liver oil – it has anti-inflammatory effects and will help the gums – to his food. Try getting your cat used to having his teeth rubbed with a piece of gauze that has been dipped in a mixture of baking soda, salt and a few drops of oil of cloves or thyme and propolis (available in many health stores).

Vitamins, minerals slow macular degeneration D

ear Dr. Donohue: I am a lady, 87 years of age. At my last visit to my eye doctor, he told me that my left eye is starting to show signs of macular degeneration.

I would like more information. Can it be stopped or its progress slowed?

At this time, it is not a problem. Is it inherited?

– Anon.

The macula is a small, circular area of the retina that provides us with central vision, the kind of vision needed to read a newspaper, sew, watch TV and recognize familiar faces. When macular cells start dying (degenerating), a smudge blurs the middle of our visual field. Off-to-theside vision remains intact.

Macular degeneration comes in two varieties – wet and dry. The dry form accounts for more than 90 percent of cases. Wet macular degeneration arises from the sprouting of new and fragile blood vessels in the macula. Those vessels break easily, and they leak fluid. Wet macular degeneration progresses more rapidly than dry, but there are more ways to treat it. Dry macular degeneration, most likely your kind, advances more slowly. If you have only the early signs of it, you’re not likely ever to notice any vision changes.

A combination of vitamins and minerals slows the progression of moderate dry macular degeneration to the advanced

3E

stage. The vitamins are: vitamin C, 500 mg; vitamin E, 400 IU; beta carotene (a HEALTH vitamin A precursor) Dr. Paul 15 mg. The Donohue minerals ■■■ are 80 mg of zinc and 2 mg of copper. This mix of vitamins and minerals comes in single capsules such as Ocuvite PreserVision. Don’t put yourself on this treatment.

It’s something that your doctor will prescribe when and if the time comes for it.

Macular degeneration isn’t inherited in the sense that all the children of an affected parent will come down with it. It does, however, put the children of affected parents at greater risk of developing it.

Dear Dr. Donohue: Recently I had a complete blood test. Everything was normal except for: Hgb, 12.8; RBC, 4.07; Hct, 38. Is this a serious deficiency? I am 92. – G.S. Hemoglobin (Hb, Hgb) is a huge protein within red blood cells. It’s a magnet for oxygen. A hemoglobin value indicates how many red blood cells a person has. Your reading of 12.8 grams/dL is not far from the normal of 13 to 16. RBC stands for red blood cell count, an enumeration of the number of red blood cells. Your 4.07 number indicates you have 4.07 million red blood cells

for every cubic millimeter (a tiny, tiny amount) of blood. The normal is 4.3 million. Hct is an abbreviation for hematocrit, the percentage of red blood cells in the blood. The normal is 39 percent to 46 percent. All your values are slightly lower than normal, but not low enough to constitute anemia, which is a deficiency of red blood cells. Unless your doctor says otherwise, you need not do anything.

Dear Dr. Fox: I have a Lab named ANIMAL Rowdy. We bought him at a farm in IndiDOCTOR ana. There is something about him that Dr. Michael is funny. When you Fox scratch his neck and ■■■ ears, he licks you like crazy and thumps his tail. – L.N.M., Mount Carmel, Ill. Dear L.N.M.: I always like to receive letters from curious and observant young readers. When you scratch your dog, you are triggering his scratch reflex. It’s an instinctual response and is quite natural.

However, dogs that scratch themselves a lot and often lick and whine when you tickle them behind an ear could have an ear infection or a skin disease like mange. Be sure to check your dog’s ears for any signs of redness and bad smell – this sometimes calls for a veterinary checkup.

Many itchy, scratchy dogs are super-ticklish, and their skin is driving them crazy because of their reaction to one or more ingredients in their food, like beef or fish. Many dogs have dry and itchy skin because all they have to eat is dry dog food. Put up to a tablespoon of olive, flaxseed or coconut oil in his food and watch him shine!

Dear Dr. Fox: Our wonderful 11⁄2year-old Welsh terrier has recently been diagnosed with diabetes.

He receives two insulin injections daily after meals. He gets six units at this time, but our vet has told us the dosage may change and that diabetes is an ever-changing and

difficult disease to control.

Tucker is still on his regular dog food, Old Mother Hubbard Wellness Simple Food Solutions. So far, he seems to be much improved, although his water intake is still somewhat above normal. He’ll be getting a blood test soon that will show blood sugar levels for the past 21 days. Do you have any suggestions for us as we deal with this chronic disease? – R. and M.W., Baxter, Minn.

Dear R. and M.W.: It would be wise to give your dog a pinch of cinnamon in his food every day, working up to a half-teaspoon as he gets used to it. The product Barley Dog may also help reduce his need for insulin.

Wean him off all dog food containing cereal products and explore the raw-food field. A diet of meat with some fat, mixed vegetables and a multivitamin/multimineral supplement could even reverse his diabetes if it is Type II. Unfortunately, diabetes Type I is more common in certain dog breeds and is more resistant to dietary changes than Type II, which is more prevalent in cats fed high-cereal diets.

Dear Dr. Donohue: Why worry about cholesterol if your risk for a heart attack or stroke is low? Shouldn’t more attention be on other risk factors? – P.J. Cholesterol gets so much attention because it figures into the direct clogging of heart and brain arteries, because it’s expressed as a number and therefore easily understood and because there is something we can do about it. It should not be the only consideration. Blood pressure, blood sugar, body weight, physical activity, smoking and diet are all important matters and can affect artery clogging too.

City prepares for its Olympic moment

BY JEREMY HAINSWORTH ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

V

ANCOUVER, British Columbia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As snow falls on the craggy peaks providing the stunning backdrop to this glimmering city on the Pacific, Vancouver prepares to welcome thousands of athletes and visitors from around the world for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.

More than 5,500 athletes and coaches, almost 11,000 members of the media and up to 350,000 visitors are expected. In preparation, Vancouver is being draped in Olympic finery.

Giant murals of athletes cover downtown skyscrapers. Green, white and blue Olympic banners adorn the street poles. Participating countries are putting the final touches on pavilions to welcome visitors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including an Olympic first, pavilions to welcome gay and lesbian visitors, located in both Vancouver and Whistler. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Visitor Information Centre and satellite kiosks will be open throughout the city, and hundreds of sky-blueuniformed volunteers are trained and ready to answer visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; questions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city is taking shape,â&#x20AC;? said Games organizing committee CEO John Furlong.

This is Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third time welcoming the Olympics. It hosted the Montreal 1976 Summer Games and the 1988 Calgary Winter Games.

But no Canadian has ever won a gold medal on home turf.

Vancouver is also the most populous destination ever to host the Winter Olympics, with 2.1 million people in the greater Vancouver regional area, according to Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2006 census.

And it considers itself to be a sophisticated destination, with five-star hotels, glittering skyscrapers and tremendous ethnic diversity. About a third of those who live in the Vancouver metro-

Nearby winter resorts such as Whistler, known for its vibrant village and challenging terrain, have been compared to Vail and other lively ski towns. But access to Whistler for alpine Olympic events is being strictly controlled.

Private cars without parking permits wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get past checkpoints at the town of Squamish on the breathtaking 90-mile Seato-Sky Highway.

Those lucky enough to get to Whistler can ride the Peak 2 Peak gondola.

It has the longest unsupported span for a gondola of its kind in the world at 1.88 miles, and the highest lift of its kind above the valley floor at 1,427 feet.

Accommodations for the games are scarce but not impossible to find.

Organizing committee vice president of services Terry Wright said the

demand is unprecedented for a winter Olympics, but Tourism Vancouver anticipates rooms becoming available and suggests checking its Web site regularly for openings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are still rooms to be had in the downtown core,â&#x20AC;? said Tourism Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walt Judas.

Dozens of ads for private accommodations dot Web sites such as Craigslist.

For visitors with thinner wallets, a 300bed hostel is opening at The Eldorado Hotel on Kingsway Avenue. Other hostels operate in the

Gastown and Main Street areas.

If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have tickets to the games, you can still celebrate with other fans at two so-called LiveCity sites in the downtown area, where events will be shown on giant screens.

But the 2010 Games arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just about sports.

The Cultural Olympiad will present everything from art shows to rock concerts at theaters and other sites throughout the region; www.vancouver2010.com/cultural-festivals-and-events/.

To get around, visitors will be encouraged to use public transport. Parking restrictions and road closures will be in effect during the Games.

A new passenger tram opening in late January connects the athletesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; village and Granville Island, which features artists studios and a public market to tease the senses.

Visitors to Vancouver will find local history reflected in its attractions, neighborhoods and even in some of the Olympic symbols. The region has been home to First Nations peoples for many centuries, and the 2010 Olympic logo is a colorful interpretation of an Inuit stone structure called an inukshuk. One of these

stone landmarks, considered a symbol of welcome, is found on the beach in Vancouver, on the downtown side of English Bay. Two more are located on Whistler Mountain. Visitors can learn more about the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s indigenous culture at the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia.

Europeans arrived in British Columbia in the 18th and 19th centuries with the advent of the fur trade. Several gold rushes brought prospectors from around the world.

The Gastown neighborhood, in the heart of old Vancouver, grew up quickly around a makeshift tavern established in 1867 by gold prospector Jack Deighton. The name Gastown came from Deightonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nickname, Gassy, slang for someone who talks a lot.

Any exploration of Vancouver would be incomplete without experiencing Gastownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old-world charm, cobbled streets, old-world charm, much-photographed steam clock, quaint pubs, restaurants and galleries. Just be careful not to stray too far south of Gastown into the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notoriously squalid and poverty-stricken notori-

ous Downtown Eastside, where drugs and prostitution are rampant.

But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one small part of Vancouver.

Chic Robson Street is considered Rodeo Drive North, while trendy Kitsilano with its boutiques and restaurants is a showcase for the laidback West Coast lifestyle.

Nearby Denman Street offers a wide variety of eateries or a place to grab a coffee before strolling along the beaches of English Bay or through Stanley Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rain forest. The Punjabi Market at 49th Avenue and Main Street delivers the spicy tang of the Indian subcontinent, and Little Italy on Commercial Drive provides a distinctive Mediterranean flavor. Chinatown offers a taste of the Orient for all price ranges; try Floata Seafood on Keefer Street, or Honâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wonton House at various locations around town. A Chinese New Year parade is scheduled for Feb. 14, starting at 9:30 a.m. at the Millennium Gate on Pender Street west of Main Street.

Coffee bars are the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preferred hangout, but java junkies should consider the Italian coffee houses on retro-hippy Commercial Drive for a real treat.

ADVICE 6E www.hpe.com SUNDAY, JANUARY 24, 2010 THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE

BY BETH J. HARPAZ ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

N

EW YORK – Planet Teenager, where I unfortunately live, is a busy and surprising place.

On this planet, kids come and go at all hours, but nobody ever rings a bell or knocks on a door. Nobody calls to warn, “I’m on my way.” Nobody beeps a horn to say, “Your ride is here.”

Instead, teenagers suddenly appear in my living room (often around dinnertime), only to vanish again without so much as a “Sorry for barging in” or “So long, it’s been good to know ya!”

How do they manage to infiltrate my house without my knowing it?

Simple: They text on arrival – TOA – and another teenager lets them in.

To tell you the truth, it used to freak me out.

Suddenly my 17-year-old would bolt from the table and open the door without a word, and to my utter astonishment, another teenager would be standing on the threshold.

“But ... but ... how did you know he was here?”

I was foolish enough to sputter the first time I witnessed this practice some months ago.

The answer, of course, was that texts had been silently exchanged, rendering obsolete the ridiculously old-fashioned routine of ringing a bell, knocking, or even phoning to say that one’s arrival was imminent.

Now my only hope for anticipating the appearance of guests is the dog. Dear old Buddy, whose extraordinary hearing and Doggie ESP can detect the lightest footstep, still twitches an ear and sometimes even pads over to the door if someone is about to enter.

Since I am never the one receiving the “I’m here” texts (or more likely “Yo”), Buddy is my beacon, my four-legged head’s up.

I’m not saying TOA is bad. I’m just saying, for a 20th-century mom, it takes a little getting used to.

As my niece who’s in college pointed out to me, teenagers aren’t the only ones who TOA. But based on my observations, the practice hasn’t yet caught on among grown-ups – uh, I mean, old people. (Actually I mean middle-aged people, but I’m sure to a college student, middle-aged people are old people.)

Yes, I still ring the bell when I go to someone’s house, fuddy-duddy that I am, and my friends (not that anyone under the legal drinking age believes I actually have friends) still ring the bell when they come to visit me.

But I have to admit, TOA has its advantages, especially for city-dwellers.

How many times have I rung the bell to get into an apartment building, only to realize that the bell wasn’t working. In the old days, you either had to slip into the building behind someone else who had a key, or find a pay phone on the corner to call your friend.

Nowadays, of course, you could call your friend on your cell – or you could just TOA. Another advantage to TOA: Nobody has to sit in the car in front of a house beeping the horn to show that Cinderella’s coach has arrived. (Or if they did, you’d be well within your rights to open the window and scream: “Lay off the horn, will ya! Can’t you just send a text that you’re here?”)

BETH J. HARPAZ is the author of several books including “13 Is the New 18.”

Parents owe kids lots of quality time Q

uestion: I have very little time to spend with my children these days, but I make sure the hours we do get to spend together are meaningful. Do you agree that the quality of time you are with your kids is more important than the quantity?

Dr. Dobson: I’m afraid the logic of that concept is flawed to me. The question is: Why do we have to choose between the virtues of quantity versus quality? We won’t accept that forced choice in any other area of our lives. So why is it only relevant to our children?

Let me illustrate my point.

Let’s suppose you’ve looked forward all day to eating at one of the finest restaurants in town. The waiter brings you a menu, and you order the most expensive steak in the house.

But when the meal arrives, you see a tiny piece of meat about one-inch square in the center of the plate. When you complain about the size of the steak, the waiter says, “Sir, I recognize that the portion is small, but that’s the finest corn-fed beef money can buy.

You’ll never find a better bite

of meat than we’ve served you tonight. As to the portion, I hope you understand that it’s not the quantity that matters, it’s the quality that FOCUS counts.”

ON THE You would FAMILY object, and for good reason.

Dr. James Why? Because Dobson both quality and ■■■ quantity are important in many areas of our lives, including how we relate to children. They need our time and the best we have to give them.

My concern is that the quantity-versus-quality argument might be a poorly disguised rationalization for giving our children – neither.

Question: My wife and I have two very strong-willed kids who are hard to handle.

They seem to need to test us, and they’re the happiest and most contented when we are the toughest on them. Why do they insist on making us growl at them and even punish them more than we’d like to?

Teens don’t ring bells, they TOA

Dr. Dobson: It is curious, isn’t it, that some children seem to enjoy fighting with their parents. It’s a function of the pugnacious temperament with which they are born.

Many kids just like to run things and seem to enjoy picking fights.

There is another factor that is related to a child’s sense of security. Let me illustrate it this way. Imagine you’re driving a car over the Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado, which is suspended hundreds of feet above the canyon floor. As a first-time traveler, you’re pretty tense as you drive across. It is a scary experience. I knew one little fellow who was so awed by the view over the side of the bridge that he said, “Wow, Daddy! If you fell off of here, it’d kill you constantly!”

Now suppose there were no guardrails on the side of the bridge. Where would you steer the car? Right down the middle of the road. Even though you don’t plan to hit those protective railings along the side, you just feel more secure knowing that they’re there.

It’s the same way with children. There is security in defined limits. They need to

know precisely what the rules are and who’s available to enforce them. Whenever a strongwilled child senses that the boundaries may have moved, or that his or her parents may have lost their nerve, he or she will often precipitate a fight just to test the limits again.

They may not admit that they want you to be the boss, but they breathe easier when you prove that you are.

Question: What do you think of the phrase “Children should be seen and not heard”?

Dr. Dobson: That statement reveals a profound ignorance of children and their needs. I can’t imagine how any loving adult could raise a vulnerable little boy or girl by that philosophy. Children are like clocks, they must be allowed to run!

“Developers, crisis mappers and even Internetsavvy folks can actually make a difference.”

Volunteers have built and refined software for tracking missing people, mapping the disaster area and enabling urgent cell phone text messaging.

Organizations including the International Red Cross, the United Nations, the World Bank and the U.S. Federal Emergency

Management Agency have put the systems to use.

Tim Schwartz, a 28year-old artist and programmer in San Diego, feared upon learning of the disaster that, with an array of social-networking sites active, crucial information about Haitian quake victims would “go everywhere on the Internet and it would be very hard to actually find people — and get back to their loved ones,” he said.

So Schwartz quickly emailed “all the developers I’d ever worked with.”

In a few hours, he and 10 others had built www. haitianquake.com, an online lost-and-found to help Haitians in and out of the country locate missing relatives.

The database, which anyone can update, was online less than 24 hours after the quake struck, with more than 6,000 entries because Schwartz and his colleagues wrote an “scraper” that gathered data from a Red Cross site.

The New York Times, Miami Herald, CNN and others launched similar efforts.

And two days later, Google had a similar tool running, PersonFinder, that the State Department promoted on its own Web site and Twitter. PersonFinder grew out of missing-persons technology developed after Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans in 2005.

Christopher Csikszentmihalyi, director of the Center for Future Civic Media at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, advocated online for consolidating all such tools into the Google version so the information wouldn’t be stuck in competing projects.

Tim Schwartz, a 28-year-old artist and programmer, poses in his art studio on the campus of the University of California-San Diego, where he helped develop a data base for persons missing in the Haiti earthquake.

He considers PersonFinder, which can be embedded in any Web site and as of Tuesday had more than 32,000 records, a triumph because it “greatly increases the chances that Haitians in Haiti and abroad will be able to find each other.”

Schwartz agreed and folded his database into PersonFinder, which he thinks will become “THE application for missing people for this disaster and all disasters in the future.”

The site has received several hundred thousand visits, said Google spokeswoman Elaine Filadelfo.

She had no data on how many people had found loved ones using the tool.

Another volunteer project forged in the quake’s aftermath is a cell phone text-messaging system that has helped the U.N., Red Cross and other relief groups dispatch rescuers, food and water.

Haitians needing help

can send free text messages from phones on the nation’s Digicel and Comcel networks to the number 4636.

“At least 20 people so far have been able to use this program to tell their families in the U.S. that they’re OK,” said Katie Stanton, a former Google employee working in the State Department’s Office of Innovation.

The text messages are translated, categorized and “geotagged” by volunteers including HaitianAmerican members of the New York City-based Service Employees International Union.

The service is being promoted on Haitian radio stations and the service has handled more than 1,000 messages since it began Saturday, said Josh Nesbit, a co-creator.

He put together a similar system for hospitals in Malawi, Africa, while at Stanford University.

In another collaborative

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

effort, the OpenStreetMap “crisis mapping” project, volunteers layer up-tothe-minute data (such as the location of new field hospitals and downed bridges) onto post-quake satellite imagery that companies including GeoEye and DigitalGlobe have made freely available.

The digital cartography — informed by everything from Twitter feeds to eyewitness reports — has helped aid workers speed food, water and medicine to where it’s needed most.

One Colombian rescue team leader uploaded the maps to his crew’s portable GPS units before the team arrived on the scene last week, developers said.

Another volunteer, Talbot Brooks of Delta State University in Cleveland, Miss., converts the maps into letter-sized documents that aid workers have been printing out before traveling to the quake zone.

Lack of access to supplies and services continues to force some Haitian earthquake survivors out of Port-au-Prince and into the surrounding areas, including across the border into the Dominican Republic, about 30 miles from the Haitian capital.

World Vision’s Dominican staff have joined the relief effort in the border town of Jimani.

According to the United Nations, search and rescue operations continue to find survivors.

By recent count, 90 people have been saved by 43 international teams made up of 1,700 people.

Working conditions remain very difficult, but humanitarian workers are now increasingly reaching out to affected areas outside of Port-au-Prince.

Immediate priorities for the wider humanitarian response continued to be medical assistance, corpse management, shelter, water and food and sanitation.

Water, food supplies and fuel are limited in the capital. Electricity and telecommunication have been largely cutoff. Communities in and around Jimani, Dominican Republic, on the border about 30 miles from Port-au-Prince, are welcoming thousands of Haitian quake survivors.

Signs for American Express, Master Card and Visa credit cards are shown on a New York store’s door. A reader-submitted question about the new credit card rule is being answered as part of an Associated Press Q&A column called “Ask AP.”

Questions concern presidential signing statements, credit cards THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

How does Apple cofounder and CEO Steve Jobs manage to get by on $1 a year — and without selling any Apple stock since 1997?

Curiosity about how Jobs pays the bills inspired one of the questions in this edition of “Ask AP,” a weekly Q&A column where AP journalists respond to readers’ questions about the news.

If you have your own news-related question that you’d like to see answered by an AP reporter or editor, send it to newsquestionsap.org, with “Ask AP” in the subject line. And please include your full name and hometown so they can be published with your question.

You can also find Ask AP on AP Mobile, a multimedia news service available on Internetenabled cell phones. Go to http://www.apnews. com/ to learn more.

Q. During the last Bush administration, the White House would post statements of how it interpreted bills passed

by Congress. Often the text would seriously redefine the meaning of the legislation. Has this technique been used by the Obama White House?

Stephan Vertal Forest Grove, Ore. A. During his campaign for the White House, President Barack Obama was highly critical of his predecessor’s use of signing statements, which allowed President George W. Bush in many cases to circumvent Congress’ intent. Obama, a law professor and lawyer, never promised to eschew the practice, but pledged to make his use of the

statements more transparent. To that end, the White House says it has published the signing statements on its Web site, http://www.whitehouse.gov. A search of such statements turns up only a handful of instances.

Philip Elliott Associated Press Writer, Washington Q. The AP recently reported that Steve Jobs took a $1 salary in 2009.

In the same story, it is also indicated that he hasn’t cashed in any of his Apple stock since 1997. The question remains: How does the guy maintain a lavish lifestyle? Where does his money come from?

Justin Kase Conder Fresno, Calif.

A. Apple Inc. won’t let us peek into Steve Jobs’ personal bank account, so we’re going to have to rely on some facts and some educated guesses to answer this one.

Apple went public in 1980. From then to when Jobs was forced to resign in 1985, he was likely paid a salary and may have sold some stock.

The Associated Press reported that in the summer of 1985, Jobs sold about $14 million worth of Apple shares.

So one guess is that Jobs hired a savvy money manager to invest at least some of those earnings. Between 1985 and today, the S&P 500 has more than quintupled. The Nasdaq has increased nearly sevenfold.

Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, and has been paid $1 a year since 1998.

He currently owns about $1.2 billion worth of Apple stock.

Jobs also holds $4.4 billion worth of Walt Disney Co. stock, which he received when he sold Pixar Animation Studios to Disney in 2006. Disney pays investors an annual dividend of 35 cents per share. For Jobs, who has about 138 million shares, that comes out to about $48 million a year.

Jessica Mintz AP Technology Writer Seattle Q. I have a couple of credit cards with balances that I have not used for several months. I make monthly payments — more than the minimum and always on time. I am concerned about the new credit card rule that says the credit card companies can charge a fee for inactivity.

Does “activity” mean the card has to be used to make a purchase? Will only making a payment be considered “activity”?

Rhonda Hopkins Norfolk, Neb. A. Inactivity fees on credit cards are still relatively rare. But analysts say they could become more commonplace as banks struggle to boost profits amid new regulations.

That said, there’s no industrywide definition of what counts as activity on a credit card. So you’ll need to contact your bank to ask about the specific terms.

Criminals target illegal immigrants

BY KEITH UPCHURCH MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

DURHAM – It’s a “big political hot potato,” says Durham Police Chief Jose Lopez.

But the issue of undocumented immigrants being victimized by crime and then being too afraid to report it to police is of deep concern to him and other law officers.

That was one of the top issues discussed at the Police Executive Research Forum that met in Durham recently. The forum is a national organization

of police executives based in Washington, D.C. Lopez, a member of the organization, said the problem of fear among immigrants in reporting crime is prevalent throughout the nation.

“Many of these individuals don’t report crimes now, but it could be a lot worse,” Lopez said.

“We’ve been very fortunate that this community has come forward to some extent. And we also have partners in this community who are trusted by the undocumented populations that we can go to, speak to and get messages

to in order to keep them safer. And it also keeps other citizens safe in the city.”

Lopez said it’s unacceptable for undocumented immigrants to be targeted.

“They should not be victims of crime, and we are interested, because when an individual may attack an undocumented person, they’re often only attacking that person because they believe they’re undocumented.

But it could be that they are attacking an American citizen, and not realizing it.”

Ministries of Mercy broadens scope

BY CHRISTOPHER YATES MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

KINSTON – Whether he is helping build a hospital in Nigeria or ministering to the people of Kinston, Sam Jones says the Lord helped him get the job done.

Jones, 64, was born in Pink Hill, grew up in Hugo and graduated from

Contentnea High School.

It was after resigning from a marketing job during 1985 and becoming a contractor that Jones was able to lend a helping hand to those around him.

“The Lord called me to follow him,” Jones said.

Following the devastating floods caused by Hurricane Floyd during 1999, Jones founded Ministries of Mercy – a nonprofit

Christian group – to aid in the recovery.

“It was a natural step to open the ministry to help the needs of the local community,” he said. “We are feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and helping the homeless.”

Jones and Ministries of Mercy helped set up a ministry in Pascagoula, Miss., following Hurricane Katrina in order to

help the thousands of people in need.

More recently, Ministries of Mercy has changed its focus to places around the country and the world.

The group recently sent a shipment of new toys and clothes to McDowell County, W.Va., one of the poorest counties in the country, according to Jones.

Nevermore? Mystery visitor misses Poe’s birthday

BALTIMORE (AP) – Is this tradition “nevermore”?

A mysterious visitor who left roses and cognac at the grave of Edgar Allan Poe each year on the writer’s birthday failed to show early Tuesday, breaking with a ritual that began more than 60 years ago.

“I’m confused, befuddled,” said Jeff Jerome, curator of the Poe House and Museum. “I don’t know what’s going on.”

The tradition dates back to at least 1949, according to newspaper accounts from the era, Jerome said.

Since then, an unidentified person has come every Jan. 19 to leave three roses and a half-bottle of cognac at Poe’s grave in a church cemetery in downtown Baltimore.

The event has become a pilgrimage for die-hard Poe fans, some of whom travel hundreds of miles.

About three dozen stood huddled in blankets during the overnight cold Tuesday, peering through

the churchyard’s iron gates hoping to catch a glimpse of the figure known only as the “Poe toaster.”

At 5:30 a.m., Jerome emerged from inside the church, where he and a select group of Poe enthusiasts keep watch over the graveyard, and announced to the crowd that the visitor never arrived.

He allowed an Associated Press reporter inside the gates to view both of Poe’s grave sites, the original one and a newer site where the body was moved in 1875. There was no sign of roses or cognac at either tombstone.

Jerome said the Poe toaster has always arrived before 5:30 a.m. There was still a chance the visit could occur later in the day, but Jerome said he doubted the person would risk a public unveiling by performing the task in daylight, when other visitors could be there.

“I’m very disappointed, to the point where I want to cry,” said Cynthia

IAMI BEACH, Fla. – At a Miami Dolphins team banquet last year, CEO Mike Dee turned to the team’s newest minority owner, music producer and mogul Emilio Estefan, and asked what he thought of the event.

Estefan didn’t miss a beat as he rattled off his critique: There was no Spanish-language media there. How could the team reach out to the community without ensuring the presence of some of South Florida’s most popular and powerful networks?

Within days, Estefan reached out to the Spanish-language media and had the Dolphins franchise producing bilingual press releases, Dee recalls.

“His contributions transcend entertainment,” Dee said. “Clearly he had a hand in the entertainment side, whether it be

That kind of behindthe-scenes energy and action has been Estefan’s trademark for nearly four decades. Whether it was molding the unique beat of his band Miami Sound Machine, guiding his wife Gloria Estefan’s career and those of countless other artists or helping to boost Miami’s image as a capital of

4th installment of ‘Pirates’ to be filmed in Hawaii HONOLULU (AP) – Aloha, Captain Jack.

The fourth installment of Disney’s popular “Pirates of the Caribbean” series will be filmed in Hawaii, according an announcement Monday by Gov. Linda Lingle.

Johnny Depp will return to his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” which will begin shooting this summer on Oahu and Kauai and be released in 2011. The film is

produced

by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Rob Marshall.

“We’ve Depp always sought out the most extraordinary and exotic locations ... Hawaii provides an amazing range of both land and seascapes, and we’re delighted to return for ‘On Stranger Tides,’ ” Bruckheimer said in a statement.

Marc Webb to direct next ‘Spider-Man’ movie LOS ANGELES (AP) – Marc Webb has caught the job of “Spider-Man” director.

Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios announced last week that the “(500) Days of Summer” director will helm the next “Spider-Man” film following the departure of Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire, the director and star who worked on the pre-

vious three Spidey films.

The fourth installment is set for a 2012 release and will focus on a younger version of the superhero.

Webb said in a statement he was not taking over the series from Raimi but instead wanted the “opportunity for ideas, stories and histories that will add a new dimension, canvas and creative voice to ‘Spider-Man.’ ”

Latin culture, he has left an indelible imprint.

Now, after years of promoting others, Estefan is sharing his own life in his memoir, “The Rhythm of Success,” released this month by Penguin Group’s Celebra division.

Estefan says people tried to get him to write a celebrity memoir for years, detailing all the famous artists he’s worked with, but he wanted to do something more.

“This generation of Hispanics has to know its history, everything Latinos who came before them have done to open the doors and to see what they can achieve,” he said. “That’s why I’ve dedicated the book to the first Latino president.

Maybe it won’t happen now, but it will happen.”

His book is a tale he hopes will resonate with immigrants and natives alike: The secrets of how a young impoverished refugee reinvented himself into a world famous producer and entrepreneur.

More men get economic boost from marriage

AP

A tree worker removes saw dust from Herbie, New England’s largest and oldest elm tree, that was cut down on Tuesday in Yarmouth, Maine.

HERBIE COMES DOWN New England loses a big tree, and a little bit of history Herbie was originally estimated to be 240 years old. But a preliminary count of growth rings by Peter Lammert of the Maine Forest Service indicated it was 212.

A precise age will be announced after the stump is sanded smooth and examined under magnification, Lammert said.

Based on the revised age, it’s now believed Herbie sprouted around 1798, not long after the 13 original colonies gained their independence and shipbuilding had taken root on the shores of Yarmouth.

Over the years, generations of residents passed under the shade tree.

The tree became well known among local townsfolk as one of a handful of large elms that survived after Dutch elm disease arrived in the late 1950s.

Knight, Yarmouth’s volunteer tree warden, realized he couldn’t save the town’s elms, which were dying by the hundreds from the fungal disease. So he focused his efforts on one tree – the giant elm with a straight trunk and sturdy branches at the corner of East Main Street and Yankee Drive.

Nicknamed Herbie by resident Deborah Felker and her friends when they were kids, the tree survived 14 rounds of Dutch elm disease, thanks to Knight’s efforts.

AP Knight oversaw selective pruning of HerLichen is seen growing on the bark of an elm bie’s diseased limbs, as well as application tree known as “Herbie” in Yarmouth, Maine. of insecticides and injections of fungicide.

First lady targets obesity to businesses and nonprofits, community and health centers, educators, religious Obama leaders and government to help.

Childhood obesity rates have tripled in the past 30 years, and the latest figures show that about one in three children are overweight. Nearly two in 10, or 17 percent, are obese, or dangerously overweight.

“The statistics still never fail to take my breath away,” Mrs. Obama told the standing-room only audience.

The first lady said she knows budgets are tight everywhere, but she said

the nation can’t afford to continue on the current path, which means that nearly half of all Americans will be obese in just 10 years.

Higher obesity rates, she said, pose a threat to the economy and the nation’s collective health through increased spending on conditions like diabetes, cancer and heart disease.

WASHINGTON (AP) – First lady Michelle Obama urged the nation’s mayors Wednesday to join her in a campaign to reduce childhood obesity.

In a speech to a meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, Mrs. Obama said locally elected leaders are among the first to see what’s happening to the people in their communities.

Her remarks, coming on the anniversary of her first year as first lady, marked the beginning of what Mrs. Obama has said will be a major initiative on her part to raise awareness about childhood obesity.

A formal rollout of her program is planned for next month. Mrs. Obama has said she will look

ARMOUTH, Maine (AP) – Herbie, a massive tree that stretched 110 feet into the sky, captured the imagination of a town’s residents and earned the title of New England’s champion elm, was cut down Monday after a long battle with Dutch elm disease. It was more than 200 years old.

Assisted by a massive crane, chainsawwielding workers on Monday took the proud tree down, limb by limb, as residents and the tree’s 101-year-old caretaker gathered to bid it farewell. Even with its massive limbs removed, the tree’s 10ton trunk was so heavy that it shook the ground when it fell with a thud.

Among those witnessing the tree’s historic passing was Frank Knight, the town’s former tree warden, who cared for the beloved American elm for a half-century.

“It’s been a beautiful tree. I’m sorry to see it go. But nothing is forever,” Knight said. “It’s pretty near my turn. And it’s just a fact of life that life is going to end. And that’s for people, for trees, for everything. I thank the good Lord every day that we had him in his glory and beauty for so long.”

Delayed for 24 hours because of a winter storm, the crew quickly set about dismantling Herbie in methodical fashion under steady snowfall Tuesday.

Its top limbs were 30 to 40 feet long, as big as typical trees. The final cut that brought down its trunk was made by a man wielding a 5-foot-long chain saw.

Afterward, Knight was greeted with a round of applause as he joined a crowd

NEW YORK (AP) – Historically, marriage was the surest route to financial security for women.

Nowadays it’s men who are increasingly getting the biggest economic boost from tying the knot, according to a new analysis of census data.

The changes, summarized in a Pew Research Center report being released Tuesday, reflect the proliferation of working wives over the past 40 years – a period in which American women outpaced men in both education and earnings growth.

A larger share of today’s men, compared with their 1970 counterparts, are married to women whose education and income exceed their own, and a larger share of women are married to men with less education and income.

“From an economic perspective, these trends have contributed to a gender role reversal in the gains from marriage,” wrote the report’s authors, Richard Fry and D’Vera Cohn.

“In the past, when relatively few wives worked, marriage enhanced the economic status of women more than that of men. In recent decades, however, the economic gains associated with marriage have been greater for men.”

One barometer is median household income – which rose 60 percent between 1970 and 2007 for married men, married women and unmarried women, but only 16 percent for unmarried men, according to the Pew data.

The report focused on U.S.-born men and women aged 30-44 – a stage when typical adults have finished their education, married and launched careers. The Pew report noted that today’s Americans in this age group are the first such cohort in U.S. history to include more women than men with college degrees.

In 1970, according to the report, 28 percent of wives in this age range had husbands who were better educated than they were, outnumbering the 20 percent whose husbands had less education.

Fed mortgage plan aids 7 percent of borrowers

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration’s mortgage relief plan provided help to only 7 percent of borrowers who signed up last year, another black mark for the struggling program.

The plan was announced with great fanfare 11 months ago, but has done little to stem the foreclosure crisis or its drag on home prices. A record 2.8 million households were threatened with foreclosure last year, up more than 20 percent from a year earlier, RealtyTrac Inc. reported this

week. Home prices, meanwhile, are down 30 percent nationally from the peak in mid-2006.

As of last month, only about 66,500 homeowners of the 900,000 enrolled had received permanent relief last year, the Treasury Department said Friday.

Another 46,000 have been approved and should be completed soon.

Under the program, homeowners in financial difficulties can see their mortgages modified to make them more affordable.

Interest rates can be reduced to

as low as 2 percent, the length of the loan can be extended, or the principal balance reduced.

Borrowers initially receive temporary modifications. They are supposed to become permanent after homeowners make three payments on time and complete necessary paperwork, including proof of income and a letter explaining the reason for their financial hardship.

The mortgage companies say they have struggled to get homeowners to return the necessary paperwork. The government is

pressing the 102 companies participating in the program to do a better job. But many lenders, including the nation’s largest, Bank of America Corp., continue to perform poorly.

BofA has completed modifications for only 1.5 percent of the more than 200,000 borrowers it has enrolled, while other companies are processing applications much faster. Ocwen Financial Corp. and Carrington Mortgage Services, have completed modifications for more than 40 percent of their enrolled borrowers.

High Point helps homebuyers T

he State of North Carolina was allocated approximately $52.3 million to help assist communities in the redevelopment of abandoned and foreclosed home.

This has been coined the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). The city of High Point competitively applied and was awarded $2.625 million of the state’s funds.

The city of High Point’s application received the 6th highest score in the state and only 11 of the 23 applications that were submitted were actually funded. This is great news for our community.

The funds that the city of High Point has been awarded can be

used for providing up to $7,500 for down payment assistance and up to $20,000 for repairs in the form of a forgiveable loan.

As long as the buyer REAL ESTATE has complied with all guidelines and has Ken lived in the propWall erty for the amount ■■■ of time required by the program, the loan would not have to be repaid. The renovation funds can be used for such repairs as new roofing, heating and air conditioning units, carpet, paint, electrical and plumbing.

To qualify you must be a firsttime homebuyer. Although this is a program targeted for first-time homebuyers, it does not disqualify you from claiming the first-time homebuyer tax credit. First-time homebuyers can take advantage of both the NSP and the first-time homebuyer tax credit.

The foreclosed homes that are covered by the NSP program are located in the following zip codes of High Point: 27260, 27262 and 27265.

The properties must be currently bank-owned as the program does not include properties that have been purchased by investors for resale.

Tips help buyers choose the right in-town condo A

re you a 20-something who hankers to buy a condo- apartment in a vibrant city neighborhood where many in your age group live?

If so, you’re one of a growing number of young adults with a strong attraction to city living, says Mark Nash, a real estate broker and author of “1001 Tips for Buying and Selling a Home.”

“People under 30 want to live where the action is – near hip clubs, restaurants and boutiques. They want to mingle with singles their age – often in hopes of meeting the right person to marry,” he says.

Of course, given the high rate of unemployment among those under 30, many in this age category aren’t now in a position to buy any property. That’s because they’ve either lost a job or fear this will happen. However, Nash says those with secure employment who want to buy a home are increasingly likely to pick a city neighborhood over a suburban one.

“And this real estate market makes buying an apartment more affordable,” he says.

Indeed, Nash says an increasing number of young people who’ve bought property in the city try to remain there even after they marry and have a child or two – despite the attraction of good public schools in the suburbs.

Abraham Tieh, a real estate broker and former president of the National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents (www.naeba.org), says that although the choice of city living is typically a lifestyle decision, the buyers of urban condos should keep resale firmly in mind.

“If you can buy for the lowest possible price now, you’ll be in a stronger position when it’s time for you to sell,” he says.

Tieh also suggests you choose a condo building that would let you rent out your unit, should you have to move to another city and can’t sell your place.

Here are other pointers for city condo buyers: • Search for a building of the right age.

As a young condo buyer in the city, you might be attracted to an elegant older structure with character. But Tieh says the owners of units in buildings that are more than a decade old are likely to encounter costly maintenance issues.

“Older buildings always have special assessments. These can be very large charges imposed on every unit owner in the building. Suppose, for example, that the air conditioning system in the building breaks down. Each resident could be docked $3,000 or more for the new system,” Tieh says.

Another advantage of newer buildings is that they often feature more amenities, like gyms, club rooms and patios. Also, many newer buildings have high-tech security systems.

Although newer buildings are a better bet than those over 10 years old, Tieh usually recommends against buying into a new condo building.

“Watch out for any building where the SMART MOVES developer is still selling Ellen apartments. People usuMartin ally prefer a brand new ■■■ unit to one that’s been occupied. So if you have to sell your place quickly, you’ll face tough competition from your builder,” he says.

• Thoroughly investigate any condo building you’re considering.

Because of the importance of buying with resale in mind, Nash urges wouldbe apartment buyers to do extensive due diligence on any property they might buy.

“Go with your agent on a property tour of the community you like and look at options on a block-by-block basis. Notice how each building is positioned relative to such basic neighborhood amenities as a dry cleaner, grocery store and drugstore,” he says.

Once you’ve zeroed in on the best building in your price range, it’s time to compare available units within that structure, giving extra points to apartments that have been upgraded.

“Consider the location of each unit you might buy. Which side of the building is the best? Are there any corner units available? Also, hunt for the best floor plan,” Nash says.

• Chat with residents of a building where you plan to buy.

Every condo building has its own internal culture, which is heavily influenced by members of its ownercontrolled condo board, as well as the management company the board hires to run the place on a daily basis.

To find out if a building’s culture would suit you, Nash strongly recommends you talk to residents there.

• Look for a condo building with plenty of parking.

While many young condo buyers are drawn to a car-free life in a city with high-quality public transportation, Nash says it’s imprudent to buy into any condo building that doesn’t give you at least one parking space per adult in your household.

This is because the odds are that many of your friends and relatives are still car-dependent. Also, your unit will likely be worth more in the future if it includes a parking space.

“A surprising number of people, including many 20- somethings, now live in the city even though their jobs are in the suburbs. That’s why parking is still hugely important,” he says.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.

– Just months after Congress extended the tax credit for first-time homebuyers, the nation’s largest homebuilder and the nation’s largest tax services provider are teaming up to make the transition to homeownership easier.

The partnership between Clayton Homes and

H&R Block means people can easily use their tax refund to move into home ownership by purchasing a Clayton home.

“With the federal government both extending and expanding the tax credit for homebuyers, with mortgage rates extremely low and with Clayton able to offer financing directly, this is a historic opportunity for more people to become

homeowners,” said Kevin Clayton, President and CEO of Clayton Homes.

“From seniors looking to downsize, to families wanting to move, to those shopping for their first home, this credit paves the way for more people to positively impact their taxes through the benefits of homeownership,” said Dave Mullin, Marketing Manager for H&R Block.
