THOMASVILLE – The topic of whether Thomasville will require its department heads to live in the Chair City will rear its head again at the Thomasville City Council retreat next month.

During a meeting of the city’s Personnel/Finance Committee earlier this month, Councilwoman Jackie Jackson submitted an ordinance that would establish a Jackson residency requirement for certain officers and employees. Following much discussion, the committee tabled the item until the City Council’s retreat.

Emphasizing she is not questioning “the level of commitment� of existing employees, Jackson said she decided to submit the ordinance because she believes “that it is important for the leaders� of Thomasville’s city government to

Currently, Thomasville doesn’t require its employees to live inside the city limits. reside within the city limits.

Jackson, who was elected to City Council in November, said she was first decided to review the city’s residency policy while campaigning when “many people� told her that they would like to see city employees who make key decisions live in Thomasville.

Last year, City Council members decided to examine Thomasville’s policy on residency requirements after City Manager Kelly Craver hired Salisbury resident Jeff Insey as the new Thomasville police chief.

Members of City Council agreed in September to wait on changing the city’s residency policy for department heads until the current or a new city manager lives in Thomasville.

Currently, Thomasville doesn’t require its employees, including department heads and the city manager, to live inside the city limits.

All of the city’s 13 department heads and Craver live outside the city limits, city officials have previously confirmed.

Jackson’s ordinance would require the fire chief, police chief, the city attorney, city clerk, city manager, finance director, management information services director, parks and recreation director and personnel director, as well as members of committees and commissions, to have their principal residence within the city.

Current employees would be grandfathered and waivers could be granted under special circumstances, the proposal states. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Winter storm boosts sales at some Triad businesses

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Before a single flake of snow fell in High Point and drove people indoors for the weekend, it drove them out of their homes to local businesses in search of items they might need – or want for pure entertainment – to wait out the storm.

For David Garner, owner of WENO Power Equipment on N. Main Street, it started with phone calls from customers inquiring about generators and snowblowers on Friday morning. Soon enough, they were coming in to have their items serviced as well. “We’ve really had an increase in service and getting stuff running,� Garner said. “A lot of people have brought their chain saws in needing to get them sharpened or needing help with getting them started.�

Garner said chain saws were important to his customers in a snowstorm because high winds

“They may have to have that saw to clear those trees out,� he said.

Customers were looking for items like snow melt, a substance spread on sidewalks to eliminate slick spots, at Sovieros Tri-County Garden Center, but many were looking for something a little more enjoyable – sleds. “People have been asking for them, and we are out of plastic sleds,� said Pat Soviero, owner of the store on N. Main Street. “The only ones I have left are the oldfashioned, wooden sleds.�

Soviero said she orders one shipment of plastic sleds each year because the area doesn’t get a lot of snow. She sold out of those sleds during the December snowstorm. “Who would have guessed we would have two big snows?� she said.

Jobless rates remain high; census may offer some relief

TRIAD – The once-in-adecade census couldn’t come at a better time for people seeking work across the region and state.

Job service counselors hope hiring for the 2010 census during the first part of this year will help budge unemployment rates that have been at or near historic highs since the early part of 2009.

Jobless rates in the High Point area remained generally unchanged from November to December, according to ESC figures released Friday. High Point’s jobless rate bucked the state trend and declined slightly from 11 percent in November to 10.8 percent last month, the ESC reports.

are steadfast,� said Williams, who comes to the High Point job service office from his previous post as head of the ESC in Randolph County.

Initial hiring for the census in North Carolina began in December, said Larry Parker, a public affairs representative with the ESC in Raleigh.

Some benefits from census hiring could show up in certain counties when the next set of local job market numbers is released for January, Parker said.

The census will hire approximately 24,000 workers statewide, according to the office of Gov. Beverly Perdue. Census jobs will extend until June or July, the governor’s office reports. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

IRS office cancels special Saturday hours

Edwards’ ex-mistress wants ‘private’ tape returned HILLSBOROUGH (AP) – The ex-mistress of twotime presidential candidate John Edwards wants a “very private and personal” videotape back from a campaign aide who wrote a book about the politician, according to court documents.

Rielle Hunter was granted a temporary restraining order against former Edwards loyalist Andrew Young in a North Carolina court. It seeks the return of photos and videos, including one she says she made in 2006 while working for Edwards.

“In or about September 2006, using my video camera, I authored a personal video recording that depicted matters of a very private and personal nature,” Hunter wrote in an affidavit filed Thursday.

“In 2006, I was also having an intimate relationship with Edwards.”

“The decision was made that the Video be destroyed” in December 2006, Hunter wrote. She said she pulled out the tape from the cassette and stored it in a box with personal belongings.

In his book, Young de-

scribes viewing a sex tape that showed Edwards and a woman he assumed was Hunter. Young says some videotapes were inside a “box of trash” that Hunter left behind at a home he rented for her. He says that the tape had been pulled out of its cassette casing, but that he was able to fix it.

It’s not entirely clear whether it’s the same tape that Hunter is seeking; Young said in his book that the naked woman depicted in the video was pregnant. Hunter had her child with Edwards in 2008, more than a year after she says her “private” video was made.

The Web site of ABC News was first to report on Hunter’s bid for a restraining order Thursday. The network has several interviews with Young scheduled to air in the coming days as he promotes “The Politician,” which is set to go on sale Saturday.

Attorneys for Edwards said in a statement Friday that they have not had an opportunity to read the book but urged “extreme caution” about it. The lawyers, Wade

GREENSBORO – Due to this weekend’s severe winter weather conditions, the IRS has canceled special Saturday hours at its Greensboro office.

These special hours were originally scheduled to provide help to taxpayers who earned less than $49,000 in 2009 by determining if these taxpayers are eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit and offering them free tax preparation assistance and electronic filing.

It will still hold special hours 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Feb. 6 and Feb. 20.

Taxpayers who earned less than $49,000 in 2009 may be eligible for the tax credit up to $5,700 depending on individual factors such as filing status and number of dependents, according to the IRS Web site.

Offices in Hickory, Charlotte and Raleigh also will be closed today.

Perdue’s campaign finds 31 undisclosed flights RALEIGH (AP) – Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue’s campaign completed a yearlong internal audit that uncovered 31 previously undisclosed flights on private aircraft valued at more than $25,000, prompting comparisons from Republican critics to unreported flights by predecessor Mike Easley.

The Bev Perdue Committee filed Thursday with the State Board of Elections information on

eight more flights covering 2000 through 2006 and valued at $4,534, according to a campaign letter.

The committee already had disclosed 17 other flights valued at more than $18,700 from Perdue’s successful 2008 campaign for governor in August, followed by six more in December valued at $2,200. The flights from individuals or companies were either labeled as inkind contributions or ex-

penses that Perdue’s campaign has since paid.

Three months ago, the State Board of Elections fined Easley’s campaign committee $100,000 for failing to disclose several dozen flights from 1999 through 2004 piloted by a close political ally. Those flights were revealed during a board probe into Easley and the state Democratic Party. The board valued the flights at $60,000.

Customers stream to stores

Perdue’s campaign said it discovered the flights during a 2009 audit after the campaign noticed some inconsistencies in their data during the transition to a new computer reporting system in 2007.

“We’ve been working with the state board for many months now,” Perdue campaign spokesman Marc Farinella said Friday in an interview. “We (felt) an obligation to do it.”

Garner said the weather predictions for the storm seemed to be more severe this year which could have prompted more people to prepare.

“Last time, they were calling for a basic snow storm, and our business didn’t really pick up,” he said. “Because of the predicted magnitude of this storm, I think people were more concerned.”

Bin Laden blasts US for climate change CAIRO (AP) – Osama bin Laden sought to draw a wider public into his fight against the United States in a new message Friday, dropping his usual talk of religion and holy war and focusing instead on an unexpected topic: global warming.

The al-Qaida leader blamed the United States and other industrialized nations for climate change and said the only way to prevent disaster was to break the American economy, calling on the world to boycott U.S. goods and stop using the dollar.

Bin Laden and other al-Qaida leaders have mentioned global warming in previous tapes and videos.

Obama just keeps blaming Bush for everything I had thought Obama would let Tiger use President Bush to blame his screw-ups on. But Obama cannot let him go because of his own mess. We all know the tremendous power Bush has. He brewed up one powerful storm and guided it into New Orleans. Then he had the power to make a portion (not all Lord knows) of the people too sorry to help themselves. I notice in natural disasters in other parts of the country that the people, with the help of federal and local governments have the backbone to pick up and go on.

We have been told for a year Obama and his yo-yo administration won the election and they will do as they wish. Nearly every day they tell us, “We don’t care what you want or need. We will run the housing industries, and force a health reform program that you neither want nor need.”

(I think health reform done right would probably be good, but not a garbage plan just to satisfy Obama’s huge ego.)

So if any of us dare to disagree with these policies, we are called racist, uneducated, uninformed, ignorant. Nancy Pelosi (though

some people wonder what planet she’s on anyway) goes so far as to call us terrorists.

When the American people seem to get fed up and angry and Massachusetts voters vote in a senator to help a little to square up the playing field, Obama jumps back to Bush. He says it’s Bush’s fault that we are upset. Give us a break!

I don’t care if Obama is black, white, red, purple or striped. But I do think it’s time he got off the campaigning and making speeches (enough is enough) and at least make an effort to try to be a president and take some responsibility for his first miserable year.

Christ’s birth would have been in September Upon reading Your View over the last few weeks, I wonder if the ones that call themselves Christians really know what happened on Dec. 25? I have had people ask me how The Christ could have been born in December when at that time, it’s cold and no grass to feed on ( Luke 2-8).

What would you tell this person? God tells all things. Luke tells us the time, you just have to dig a little. Luke 1:26 locks it in by saying Zacharias was in the course of Abia. These courses were done twice a year, one Dec. 6-12 and one June 13-19.

The week of June 13-19 was the

week that Zacharias was in the Temple and was told he and his wife would have a son and to call him John (later to be John the Baptist). This conception took place after a 30-mile walk and Sabbath (no travel). John was in the belly six months when Mary ran to her cousin Elisabeth. This date was Dec. 25. This would put the Nativity or begetting of the Christ on Sept. 29, 4 B.C. Christ changed that pagan day to a day that God was here on Earth as a man to show you how to live and die. He never asks you to do something He wouldn’t do Himself.

Democrats reel from cases of corruption The Fayetteville (N.C.) Observer, Jan. 26 Some North Carolina Democratic politicians are running scared. They should be. It looks like a tough year.

The problem is that the party is suffering through a long and nasty spell of corruption charges and convictions. In the past half-dozen years, corruption has sent some prominent Democrats to prison – including House Speaker Jim Black, Agriculture Commissioner Meg Scott Phipps and Rep. Thomas Wright.

The scandals resulted in tougher ethics laws, more aggressive policing of campaign finance and stronger ethics codes and training for politicians and state employees.

It wasn’t enough. The State Board of Elections investigated former Gov. Mike Easley’s campaign finances last year and found possible criminal violations involving Easley and many people around him.

A federal grand jury also is probing Easley and his administration, and last week released its first indictments – 51 of them, against Easley’s former top aide, Ruffin Poole, who could face more than 100 years in prison if he’s convicted on all charges. The grand jury is still in session and more indictments are expected.

Against this bleak backdrop, the Democratic majority in the General Assembly is running for re-election this year, as voters across the nation are increasingly restive and tea-partyish. Democratic political consultant Brad Crone told an Associated Press reporter last week that it could bring a “megastorm, where you have just a terrible economy, you have unrest and anger with the electorate, and then you have corruption on top of it.”

Republicans know that and are trying to seed a positive storm, hoping to gain power and maybe take over at least one branch of the Legislature.

Hard to blame them: Democrats have ruled Raleigh for a long time and the GOP wants its turn.

But. The only way Raleigh will really get cleaned up is a bipartisan effort. We may be dreaming when we call for it, but we need the parties to stand together on this one. Both may misread at their own peril the source of voter ire this year, but they need to recognize that, in addition to anger about corruption, the voters also are fed up with partisan sniping. Both parties are guilty of it, which explains, in part, why “unenrolled” has become the fastest-growing voter registration.

Greed and corruption are nonpartisan traits.

We need a bipartisan effort to prevent politicians of any stripe from indulging in them.

Challenges lie ahead in serving homeless families “People are out of work. They are hurting.” – President Barack Obama, State of the Union address, Jan. 27, 2010

Y

ou don’t have to look far to see that in High Point. Since 2001, Guilford Interfaith Hospitality Network has worked trying to relieve some of the hurt.

Its mission: “By uniting the faith community and those who support our mission, Guilford Interfaith Hospitality Network assists homeless children and their families by providing shelter, compassionate care, and counseling with the goal of sustained independence.”

In the organization’s December newsletter, the president said, “We are particularly challenged in High Point because we only have 42 weeks of shelter for our homeless families in 2010. We are actively looking for three congregations who can make a portion of their facilities available to host our families four times during the year. The families are hosted one week per calendar quarter from Sunday to Sunday and are at the church from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Host churches need to have four rooms where the families can have some privacy; most churches use Sunday school rooms.

Also, host churches need to have a place where the families can have dinner.”

For more information, check the group’s Web site at www.gihn.org.

Next week was going to be especially challenging for the families that GIHN is serving and for the network, also. You see, out of more than 100 churches in town, until Friday none was available to host seven children and four adults on cots provided, in empty or underutilized rooms, for one week.

Fortunately, First Baptist Church stepped up and will fill the void next week. But there are weeks not covered in the future, so GIHN will surely face this challenge again. I’m sorry, but there is something hypocritically wrong with that Christian picture.

It is not so hard nor so expensive. If van transportation or the lack thereof is an excuse, do your congregants drive? If the issue is the cost of food, consider sharing yours and fasting according to Isaiah 58. Is it time?

OPINION Consider turning off the television, telephone, InterSondra net or text messaging and Foy Anderson away from those things that ■■■ so easily distract and waste valuable time. Consider serving the least of these.

I serve as volunteer coordinator at my church. As part of the Winter Emergency (WE) program, the church has housed 16 homeless men since December 1 and will do so until April 1. Approximately seven other churches are doing the same in the WE program. The volunteers intended to bless “our guys” (as we affectionately call them) with shelter, food, love and fellowship. In fact, the volunteers have been blessed by them.

“Our guys” also referred to as “our guests,” are people who have lost their jobs and homes due to illness, various reasons and the downward spiral of the economy.

They are painters, carpenters, dads, electricians, customer service representatives, brothers, computer technicians, truck drivers and decent, loving people who happen also to be homeless.

As hard as times are, “for those who have known poverty, life’s become even harder,” President Obama also said during his State of the Union address. Job creation is essential and will come once Congress gets real about serving the people, once banks lend and small businesses are to grow and hire. In the meantime, we can all help each other. Oh, “yes we can.”

Man convicted in death of abortion provider WICHITA, Kan. – Jurors swiftly convicted an abortion opponent of murder Friday for shooting to death one of the only doctors to offer late-term abortions in the U.S., a killing the gunman claimed was justified to save the lives of unborn children.

The jury deliberated for just 37 minutes before finding Scott Roeder, 51, of Kansas City, Mo., guilty of premeditated, first-degree murder for putting a gun to the forehead of Dr. George Tiller on May 31 and pulling the trigger.

Man guilty in eight street racing deaths UPPER MARLBORO, Md. – Prosecutors say one of two men charged with causing a car crash that killed eight people watching an illegal drag race on a suburban road has pleaded guilty to eight counts of vehicular manslaughter.

Darren Bullock, 21, of Waldorf entered the plea Friday in Prince George’s County Circuit Court.

Prosecutors say he faces 30 years, with all but 15 years suspended, in prison. He will be sentenced March 1.

Sen.-elect Brown calls out Obama for hoops CHICOPEE, Mass. – Sen.-elect Scott Brown says if President Barack Obama is serious about courting Republicans, he should meet him for a friendly game of hoops at the White House.

The newly elected successor to Sen. Edward Kennedy is telling everyone from his election night victory party crowd to comedian Jay Leno he’s pining for a game against the hoops-crazy president.

Brown proposes a twoon-two match between him and his daughter.

ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

PLANT CITY, Fla. (AP) – A body found buried in a backyard was identified Friday as missing Florida lottery winner Abraham Shakespeare.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s office said the remains were identified through fingerprints, but a cause of death likely won’t be known until Monday.

The body was found Thursday at a Plant City home connected to a woman who had befriended Shakespeare.

The 43-year-old truck driver’s assistant disappeared in April, though he wasn’t reported missing until November. He had won a $31 million lottery jackpot in 2006, opting for a lump sum payment of nearly $17 million.

The remains were found at a

home owned by the boyfriend of Dorice Moore. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd has previously called Moore a “person of interest,�

Shakespeare though she has not been charged.

On Dec. 5, Moore told The Ledger newspaper that she helped Shakespeare disappear, but now wants him to return because detectives were searching her home and car and looking for blood on her belongings.

Judd has said Moore transferred more than $1 million from Shakespeare’s bank account into hers.

She said the money was a gift.

Shakespeare had a criminal record that included arrests and

prison time for burglary, battery and not paying child support. He used his winnings to buy a Nissan Altima, a Rolex from a pawn shop and a $1 million home in a gated community – but the money quickly caused him problems.

A former co-worker sued him in 2007, accusing Shakespeare of stealing the winning ticket from him. Six months later, a jury ruled the ticket was Shakespeare’s. And his mother, Elizabeth Walker, has said others were constantly asking Shakespeare for a piece of his fortune.

Not long after he bought the million-dollar home in early 2007, he was approached by Moore, family and sheriff’s officials have said. She became something of a financial adviser.

President attends GOP retreat BALTIMORE (AP) – In a face-to-face encounter, President Barack Obama chastised Republican lawmakers Friday for opposing him on health care, economic stimulus and other major issues.

Republicans pushed back on taxes and spending, and accused Obama of not taking their ideas seriously.

Obama, attending the House Republicans’ retreat in Baltimore, began with conciliatory remarks but soon became

more pointed. He said a GOP-driven “politics of no� was blocking action on bills that could help Americans obtain jobs and health care.

In a sometimes-barbed exchange, he said some in the audience have attended ribbon-cutting ceremonies for projects funded by the stimulus package they voted against. Obama also questioned why Republicans have overwhelmingly opposed his tax-cut policies, which

he said have benefited 95 percent of American families. “The notion that this was a radical package is just not true,� Obama said. “I am not an ideologue.�

GOP lawmakers pressed the president to pledge to support a line-item veto for spending bills and across-theboard tax cuts. Obama demurred, saying billionaires don’t need new tax cuts.

In his opening re-

marks, Obama criticized a Washington culture driven by opinion polls and nonstop political campaigns.

WASHINGTON – Pressured by a growing clamor from New York, the Obama administration is considering moving the trial of Sept. 11 terror suspects away from Manhattan, where it had been scheduled just blocks from the site of the twin towers attack.

The city’s top police official says he thinks the trial won’t take place anywhere in the city.

The Justice Department is drawing up plans for possible alternate locations to try professed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four alleged accomplices in case Congress or local officials prevent the trial from being held in Manhattan, two administration officials said Friday.

Though the officials wouldn’t discuss locations under consideration, others have suggested Governors Island, a former military base in New York Harbor that now welcomes summertime picnickers and bike riders; the U.S. Military Academy at West Point or Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh, N.Y. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the deliberation.

New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told reporters Friday that a backlash had made it “unlikely� the case would go forward in the city.

couldn’t get through. “On reflection, I could have used a different approach to this investigation, particularly given the sensitivities that people understandably have about security in a federal building,� James O’Keefe wrote Friday on the Web.

Another day of infamy in American history O

n the Sunday afternoon of Dec. 7, 1941, Dad told me that the nation of Japan had bombed Pearl Harbor.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, called it “a day of infamy.” It was hard for me to understand that evil then and now.

There were two other infamous days in America. On March 6, 1857, the United States Supreme Court ruled, “that black people are not legal ‘persons’ according to the United States Constitution.” I remember the ruling on Jan. 22, 1973, by the Supreme Court that was just as wrong-headed and ungodly. On that day the Supreme Court, according to Dr. John and Barbara Willke in their book, “Abortion Questions and Answers,” also ruled, “That unborn humans were not legal ‘persons’ according to the U. S. Constitution.” Black people, thank God, have received their freedom and full rights.

Most informed and intellectually honest people are convinced that life begins at conception.

Our nation was shocked on Sept. 11, 2001. Wicked and evil enemies killed 4,000 people that day.

The real truth, however, is that 4,000

more were murdered on Sept. 12, 2001, another 4,000 on Sept. 13, 14, 15 and every day since.

These unborn babies – 4,000 each day, 28,000 each week, 112,000 each month and 1,460,000 SHARING each year. This has been going on since THE SPIRIT 1973 when our Supreme Court ruled in Roe vs.

Bill Wade what has become Ellis a perpetual curse to our ■■■ nation. The “Sanctity of Human Life Sunday” was observed on Jan. 17.

That decision has impacted our nation adversely as it relates to family life, financial stability and social well-being. An article in USA Today speculated on Jan. 21, 1998, that, “If only one-third of those who have been aborted were available to start working on their 18th birthday, the demise of Social Security could be put off for decades.” We lose when one out of every four babies is killed by abortion.

An interesting article illustrates how weak our excuses are for permitting abortion. The question is, “Would you consider an abortion

in any of these circumstances?”

• A preacher and his wife are living in extreme poverty. They have 14 children and she becomes pregnant again.

• A mother has tuberculosis and the father has chronic sinus problems.

The family has four children already.

Most informed and intellectually honest people are convinced that life begins at conception.

One has tuberculosis, two are deaf and one is blind. Would you consider abortion?

• A 13-year-old black girl is raped by a white man.

• A teenage girl becomes pregnant, but not by her fiancé.

If you aborted in the first case, you have killed John Wesley. If you aborted in the second case, you killed Beethoven. If you aborted in the third case, you killed Ethel Waters, the great black gospel singer. If in the fourth case you aborted, you killed

Jesus of Nazareth.

Abortion, more than anything else, may be due to ignorance. I know a pastor, now strongly opposed to abortion, who is his early years of ministry believed, like millions of others, that a fetus is just a mass of flesh with no connection to a living human being.

God said, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations” (Jeremiah 1:5). And again, “O Lord . . . you created by inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb” (Psalm 139:1, 13).

Abortion brings suffering and guilt to the mother and father who permitted their baby’s death. Learn more by going to www.abortionfacts.com and also check www.hh76. com. We cannot be excused for our ignorance.

Recently, I listened to a beautiful 50-year-old mother explain her agony as the result of an earlier abortion.

No woman should ever have to go through that experience. The truth about abortion can be known.

Athletes of God

The LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you.

Numbers 6:25

The great choreographer Martha Graham said, “I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. In each, it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one’s being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes, in some area, an athlete of God.” (Martha Graham, This I Believe, National Public Radio) Two things are particularly noteworthy about this statement. One is the dedication and discipline necessary to bring about significant achievement, whether in art, or sport, or life. The second thing worth noting is how this achievement will define one’s being and lead to a satisfaction of spirit. There is no denying the incredible satisfaction that These things I have spoken unto comes with achievement, and especially virtuosity. Most of us will never know you, that in me ye might have the satisfaction of being a prima ballerina or a professional athlete, but that peace. In the world ye shall have doesn’t mean we can’t reach a level of excellence appropriate to our own tribulation: but be of good cheer; capabilities. And it’s not just about achieving excellence in some artistic or I have overcome the world. athletic endeavor. It’s about achieving excellence in life, as a good human being.

John 16:33 We should ask God each and every day to help us in the practice of life and strive to become an athlete of God. Fear and anger are natural human emotions and it is perfectly appropriate to feel them in the appropriate circumstances. These emotions, which are closely allied with our bodies’ “fight or flight” reactions, are natural mechanisms for selfpreservation. It is clearly a good thing to feel fear when in the presence of real danger or anger. Fear and anger are a bit like warning bells or alarms, telling us that we need to fight or flee, but sometimes the alarm is going off and there’s no real danger. Some politicians and certain media outlets are good at stroking fear and anger, and seem bent on keeping us in a perpetual state of fear and anger. If a tornado is heading your way, it’s probably appropriate to be fearful (and to get in the basement), but should we really be angry or fearful about national or international politics? We should not be passively resigned in the face of politics.

People should be informed and get involved in local, state and national politics, but we need not get overly disturbed about it. The real problem with all of the fear and anger generated these days is how unproductive and debilitating it is.

It keeps the talking heads happy, but it leaves the rest of us fearful, angry, and powerless to do much about it. So, perhaps we should keep our heads calm and unruffled, and save the fear and anger for when we really need it.

He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

Hatred Stirs Up Dissension, but Love Covers All Wrongs.

The race is on Campaigning intensifies for Wiley’s House seat

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Republican Paul Norcross said he has raised $10,000 in his primary bid to capture the seat being vacated after this year by Rep. Laura Wiley, R-Guilford.

Norcross formally declared his candidacy in the 61st State House District race Friday, though he, local businessman Gerald

Grubb and High Point City Councilman and Realtor John Faircloth indicated late last year that they would seek the Republican nomination in the GOPleaning district. Norcross and Grubb are making their first bids for elected office. The primary is May 4.

Wiley announced last year that she’s retiring from the district that covers parts of High Point,

Jamestown and southwestern Guilford County.

No Democrat has sought the seat since the district was redrawn for the 2002 election based on the last legislative redistricting plan.

Norcross, a businessman and educator associated with the Phoenix Academy charter school, said that he will focus on job creation and promotion of education if he becomes a legislator.

“The established politicians of both parties have let us down, with corruption and indifference. It is time for all of us to take responsibility back,” Nor-

cross said in his announcement.

Faircloth said that he’s actively raising funds but won’t release a figure until he files his public campaign report in March.

Grubb said that he’s in the process of seeking contributions.

“We’re not banking our candidacy on raising money. We’re going to do a lot door-to-door,” Grubb said.

A political analyst said that it’s no longer unusual for a state legislative candidate to spend $10,000 or more on a bid for office.

In the early 1990s, such a level of spending on a state House or Senate race

would have been unprecedented, said Bob Hall, executive director of the Democracy North Carolina nonpartisan research group based in Durham.

“Not anymore,” Hall said.

The level of spending on state House and Senate races in North Carolina depends on the competitive level of the contest and how many candidates are seeking the office, Hall said.

“The money chase can play a tremendous role in who the ultimate winner will be,” Hall said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GREENSBORO – Rain or shine, snow or sleet, there’s one series of events that won’t be called off this weekend despite inclement weather.

The events scheduled in conjunction with the grand opening of the Civil Rights Center and Museum in Greensboro will be held no matter what kind of weather rolls through the Triad, organizers said.

Events for today, Sunday and Monday remain scheduled. Organizers said that all 520 admission tickets for public tours of the museum that begin 1 p.m. Monday had been sold.

“There are so many people that have already come in from all over for this series of events,” said Monty Hagler, president of RFL marketing, the marketing agency for the museum. “It’s too important of an event with too many people that have already taken their time to come out.”

Despite forecasts of snow well into this afternoon, a 50th Anniversary Gala will be held 7-9 p.m. tonight at the Koury Convention Center. The annual benefit is held to honor unsung heroes who made contributions toward the struggle for racial equality. A Celebration of Unity Service will be held 6 p.m. Sunday at the Greensboro Coliseum. The event is free and open to the public. The grand opening events for the museum will kick-off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony 8 a.m. on Monday at February One and Elm Street in downtown Greensboro. Public tours of the museum will begin at 1 p.m. that day.

The National Weather Service said Friday that temperatures would remain near or below freezing through Monday, leaving snow and ice on the ground. “We aren’t stopping any of the services,” Hagler said. “Our plan from the beginning was an all-weather plan.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Students join sit-in programs ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

Ready for the worst The prospect of a big weather event had many getting ready ahead of time.

Jose Delsid with Forsters Landscaping spreads salt on one of the parking lots along Gatewood Avenue. Guilford, Davidson and Randolph counties are under winter storm warnings until tonight. The forecast for the weekend calls for 6-10 inches of snow.

GUILFORD COUNTY – Guilford County Schools students and teachers are participating in the 50th anniversary of the Greensboro sit-ins.

Many schools held “teach-ins” this week about the history of the Feb. 1, 1960, sit-ins.

Other projects include an essay contest and student performances.

Elementary school teachers shared a special lesson plan about the sit-ins. College students from N.C. A&T, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and Bennett College participated in small group discussions with the students.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Middle and high school students will watch excerpts of “February One,” a Public Broadcasting Service documentary.

High school classes will hold discussions in a Paideia seminar format during civics, history and English courses.

The school district and N.C. A&T held an essay contest for high school students. Winners will receive recognition at the Sit-In Anniversary Breakfast on Monday, weather permitting.

Middle school choral students from across the district are scheduled to perform Celine Dion’s “The Power of The Dream” on Sunday at the Celebration of Unity service.

Preserving our world species is a must G

enetic diversity is evident all around us in plants, animals and humans. Diversity is what makes life interesting. If humans were all alike, animals were all alike and plants were all alike, life would really be boring.

In the last 100 years, our world leaders and scientists have realized that we need to preserve our genetic diversity of all species of plants and animals that exist on our planet in case of a disaster such as the famous Irish potato famine. But we need to also preserve DNA of other inhabitants of our plant like bacteria, viruses and fungi; most of which are beneficial to our existence.

According to most dictionaries, germ plasm is defined as the hereditary material transmitted to offspring through the germ cells. Today DNA is regarded as the molecular equivalent of germ plasm. A germ plasm is a collection of genetic resources for an organism. For plants, the germ plasm may be stored as a seed

collection or, for trees, in a nursery.

For example, research leader and microbiologist Cletus Kurtzman and ECOLOGY colleagues from the Agricultural Gwyn Research SerRiddick vice are curators ■■■of a comprehensive assortment of living specimens of harmful and helpful molds, bacteria, actinomycetes (such as antibiotic-producing Streptomyces), and yeasts from around the planet. Proximity to this gene bank called the ARS culture collection – the world’s largest publicly accessible collection of microbes – has hastened discoveries by scientists.

Their accomplishments include innovative new ways to detect, identify, classify and use these microorganisms to make foods safer, protect plants from pests, and create new industrial products.

The National Animal Germplasm Program (NAGP)

opened its doors a decade ago and is operated by the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in Fort Collins, Colo. It has grown into one of the largest repositories of its kind in the world, housing more than half a million genetic samples from 12,000 animals after starting out with genetic material from 40 lines of chickens.

This collection of germ plasm assures genetic diversity of agriculturally significant animals such as dairy and beef cattle, chicken, sheep and swine, in addition to bison, elk and fish, according to Harvey Blackburn, animal geneticist and NAGP coordinator.

Among the animal germ plasm Blackburn has added to the ARS collections is that from shorthorn cattle.

Providing vital genetic material for scientific research has become a primary function for Blackburn and other NAGP specialists, who distribute animal samples to university researchers, private laboratories and others who work to improve the genetic makeup of animals.

The collection has been

useful in many ways. For example, ARS researchers have used frozen bull semen to genotype prominent bulls that have sired dairy cattle. This information, combined with milk production data gathered from those cows, has been used to improve dairy cattle breeding programs.

A recent news release said that genetic material also “has been used to restore breeds of cattle and other animals that had died out. Researchers insist that maintaining diversity by preserving germ plasm – even if the material comes from breeds that aren’t currently being studied – acts as an insurance policy against future diseases or other threats.�

In other related work, scientists at the ARS National Sedimentation Laboratory (NLS) in Oxford, Miss. have been cataloging 124 species of fish, amphibians, reptiles and mammals to build a baseline sampling of animal diversity, including about 11,000 samples since 1986. During those efforts, scientists documented the pres-

ear Abby: My parents just aren’t “there� for me anymore. I need to be able to go to them for advice, but now I can’t. They get mad when I ask them for help on anything.

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I mean, I cook, clean, help around the house, but it doesn’t seem to help.

Please don’t get me wrong. I love my parents, but they get mad so easily. I’m not sure if it’s because they’re aging – they are 44 and 46 – or if it’s something I have done. I also feel like they aren’t being fair to me because my siblings, who are younger AND older than I am, get more privileges than I do.

I just want a better relationship with my parents, the kind I had when I was younger. I mean, I haven’t changed. (I only changed fashions. Like, I dress better and stuff.)

Oh, and in case you’re wondering, my parents don’t drink or smoke.

So how do I talk to them in a way they will understand and consider

Dear Teen: You may not be doing anything wrong. Many adults are under pressure in the workplace and/or financially – which can make them appear to be short- tempered and distracted.

Your parents may also be trying to encourage you to think independently or be less reliant on them for advice. Maybe you should ask your parents what’s wrong.

I don’t know them, but at 44 and 46, I am sure their problem isn’t “agingâ€? because they are in the prime of their lives. However, if their problem is stress-related, the next time you want to discuss something serious, try it about an â– â– â–

hour after dinner when they are relaxed and not distracted, and you may have better luck.

Dear Abby: I recently attended a concert in the hall that is home to our local symphony orchestra. Imagine my dismay when the couple sitting behind me proceeded to unwrap candy, then crumple up and throw the wrappers on the floor.

It was, to say the least, distracting – and leaving the wrappers on the floor was low class. For pity’s sake, folks, clean up after yourselves!

In this age of food allergies, eating peanut butter snacks in a crowded concert hall seems a doubly poor choice.

Saturday, January 30. It was cool in Los Angeles.

We were working the daywatch out of Bunco. The boss is Captain Stewart.

My partner’s Bill Gannon. He’s a good player.

My name’s Friday.

We got a call about a scam at a club in Ventura. We checked it out. The suspect was still playing.

One of his opponents spoke with us.

“It was terrible, officer.”

“Just the facts, ma’am.”

“I was East. At four hearts, South took the ace of diamonds and led a spade. When I played low, he played the EIGHT.

STRONG SPADES “My partner won with the nine and didn’t dream that South had such strong spades. He led the queen of diamonds, and South ruffed, drew trumps and led the king of spades to ruff out the ace.

He ruffed a diamond and threw clubs from dummy on the Q-J of spades.

“If South plays an honor on the first spade, West may place him with good spades and shift to clubs.

South’s a con artist. Nab him!”

South was charged with deceptive play. The judge said

he wished he played as well.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A 10 9 7 2 H 10 7 D K Q 6 C A 10 5. Your partner opens one club, you bid one spade and he rebids two clubs. The opponents pass. What do you say?

ANSWER: Though you have club support, you should aim toward a cheaper game at notrump or spades. A raise to three clubs would only invite game, and you must force. Bid two diamonds.

If partner bids 2NT next, you’ll raise. If he bids two spades, you’ll bid three clubs or four spades.

West dealer Both sides vulnerable

An older relative or friend will have some very wise advice to share with you. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take care of your debts and stop worrying about the past. Living in the present and looking positively toward the future will lessen your stress and help you advance.

Don’t shy away from change. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A romantic encounter may be tempting but weigh the pros and cons before you decide to get involved. Someone will lead you on or tamper with your emotions if you are too trusting.

Feeling guilty or obliged should be your first hint that you are probably making a mistake. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t make waves and, most of all, refuse to meddle or get involved in someone else’s fight. Focus on your own life. Deal promptly with any health concerns you have. A romantic encounter should brighten your day. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Opportunities will be present and must be taken advantage of before it’s too late. An emotional lesson will be learned if you become involved with someone too fast. It’s time to do things a little differently. ★★★ ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

Police: Colorado dad ordered kids to bite officers COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) – Police in Colorado say they arrested a 28-year-old man accused of passing out in a McDonald’s play area and telling his two children to bite the officers who were trying to arrest him.

Colorado Springs police

say officers had to use a Taser on Joshua Alger to subdue him after he allegedly passed out drunk at the fast-food restaurant.

Police say Alger refused officers’ orders and at one point told his children to “bite the officers’ faces off.”

Police say Alger has a previous arrest warrant for failing to appear in court on a charge of obstructing a police officer.

He now also faces charges of second-degree assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, and marijuana possession.

burn the same number of calories because she takes more time to cover the distance than I do. I say hooey. I say I burn more because I am exercising harder. Am I right or wrong? – B.W. You’re right. Jogging burns more calories than walking. The faster you propel the body, the more calories you burn.

Do you weigh more than your wife? Body weight is another factor in calorie burning.

It takes more energy to move a heavier body.

Don’t discourage your wife with this information. Walking is an excellent exercise, and she should be encouraged to continue. Not everyone can be a jogger.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I am a small, active female, concerned about osteoporosis. Is the following exercise good for osteoporosis? I stand with feet shoulder-width apart and keep my toes on the floor at all times. I bounce on alternate legs, like jogging in place, but my toes do not leave the floor. Is this useful? I do this for quite a while. – P. Any weight-bearing exercise that stresses bone helps prevent osteoporosis. If one foot left the ground, the other foot and leg would be subject to a greater load. All the same, what you describe is at least partial weightbearing and qualifies as osteoporosis exercise.

Can HPU women extinguish Flames?

L

iberty’s Flames have well and truly torched the Big South women’s basketball landscape over the past decade.

In Carey Green’s 11 years on the bench, the Flames’ coach has compiled a 159-15 record in Big South Conference games. Liberty won nine tournament championships and earned spots in the NCAA Tournament nine times from 2000 to 2009, including a run to the Sweet Sixteen in 2005.

And yet...

The High Point University women own the title of “giant killers” when it comes to playing Liberty. The Panthers have gone 5-6 in their last 11 games against the Flames.

Five wins in 11 games? Not too impressive – until one considers that the rest of the conference is 5-63 during that span from Feb. 26, 2005 – the day High Point won 62-53 in Lynchburg, Va., to snap Liberty’s 47-game conference winning streak.

“We kind of got rid of that stigma of ‘Can we beat Liberty?’ a long time ago,” Panthers coach Tooey Loy said. “I think that’s what the other conference schools are still struggling with. They haven’t beaten them and their players haven’t gotten the confidence that they can beat them.”

High Point (13-7, 6-1) gets another shot at toppling Liberty today at 4 p.m. inside the Millis Center. First place is on the line as the Flames enter at 14-4 overall and 5-1 in the league. GardnerWebb, with wins over both teams but a loss to Radford, also begins the weekend at 6-1.

In other words, it’s not “Liberty and everybody else” this season. The Panthers and Flames were picked as co-favorites to win the league in the preseason coaches’ poll.

“We know we’re a good team,” HPU junior guard/forward Amy Dodd said.

“I think we would have been really disappointed if we had gotten (picked) anything less than first place.”

Dodd and the Panthers knocked off Liberty 58-53 last season in the Flames’ only league loss, but Liberty roughed up HPU in the Vines Center (65-42) in the other meeting. A High Point loss to Gardner-Webb in the second round of the conference tournament prevented a third showdown.

Liberty took all three meetings in the 2007-08 season, while the previous year, High Point became the first team in 12 years to sweep a season series from the Flames.

“Everybody came out so focused,” recalled senior Ashlee’ Samuels, the only player on this year’s roster on the team that year. “It wasn’t nervous, it wasn’t that we were over-prepared. We

went into it like it was a regular old game. It was probably the most fun game that I remember.”

The Panthers went on to win the regular-season crown, but ended the year with losses in the league tournament opener and SPORTS the WNIT. “The high point was Steve winning the regular Hanf season, not necessarily ■■■ sweeping Liberty,” Loy said. “You’ve got to give them credit: They’ve dominated the conference. But at the same time, it’s just another conference game, too. We’re tied for first place and Gardner-Webb only has one loss. It’s another conference game for us to get to our goal of having a chance to win the conference tournament and make an NCAA Tournament.”

Success against the Flames has come thanks to the Panthers’ style of play, Loy said. Liberty always has excelled in the paint, and that hasn’t changed this year with four players at 6-foot-3 or taller on the roster. High Point’s speedy guards can challenge that style.

“When we get it going our tempo and get it up and down the floor, we usually are pretty successful against them,” Loy said. “When they’re scoring – playing ‘taps’ on the backboard, miss four shots and just keep getting rebounds – it’s obviously to their advantage.”

Remarkably, it’s a big freshman guard – 5-10 Devon Brown – doing most of the damage now for Liberty.

She ranks second in the league in both points (16.5) and rebounds (8.7) per game. High Point counters with a trio – Mackenzie Maier, Dodd and Shamia Brown – each averaging 10 points in a balanced attack.

Liberty arrived in High Point on Friday to practice at the Millis Center and beat the snow. Loy said the game should go on as scheduled “unless it’s an absolute blizzard and nobody can get out,” but it also would be less than ideal for the Panthers to be playing without a boisterous home-court crowd.

“When the whole gym gets excited, that always adds to the intensity and the hype of the game,” Dodd said.

For Big South women’s basketball, it doesn’t get any bigger than this until an NCAA berth is on the line. This is Liberty, after all.

“Their name – a lot of people get nervous because Liberty’s had such a good reputation,” Samuels said.

Added Dodd: “We’re trying to change that.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Conference break: No. 7 Hoyas host No. 8 Duke

BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

DURHAM – The Duke Blue Devils will step out of conference play today to take on Georgetown at the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. (1 p.m., WFMY, Ch. 2).

The Hoyas will provide a step up in non-conference

competition. “They’re obviously one of the storied programs in basketball, but I don’t know much about their team right now – except I know they’re really good,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. The No. 8 Blue Devils stand 173. The No. 7 Hoyas (15-4) are 9-0 at the Verizon Center this season.

HIGH POINT – High Point University men’s basketball team headed west toward Boiling Springs to beat the snow Friday afternoon, getting into position to play Gardner-Webb today at 8 p.m.

“If the teams are there and the officials are there, they’re going to make every attempt to play,” High Point spokesman Jon Litchfield said.

If the game goes on, HPU will get another crack at trying to solve its road woes.

The Panthers are 8-1 overall and 4-1 in Big South games at the Millis Center, but just 2-9, 1-4 away from home for records of 10-10 and 5-5.

Past statistics favor HPU. They overwhelmed GW 78-68 at home on Jan. 2 and the Runnin’ Bulldogs are 6-14 and eighth in the Big South at 3-7 – two games behind HPU, which is tied for sixth. But the earlier success is no indication how the Panthers might fare as they seek their third straight win against GW and try to avoid their first fivegame road losing streak in the

conference since the 2004-05 season.

HPU is coming off an 83-69 loss at UNC Asheville, which they beat 66-62 earlier in the season. HPU coach Scott Cherry said the Panthers were lax on defense against the Bulldogs.

Against Gardner-Webb, the Panthers will be trying to stop Grayson Flittner, C.J. Hailey and Jonathon Moore. Flittner notched 26 points to lead the Bulldogs in the previous meeting with HPU. Hailey has been the Bulldogs leading scorer with an 11.8 average, which includes 11.6 ppg in conference

games. Moore has been the Bulldogs leading scorer in five of their last eight games. Flittner is averaging 9.2 points and Moore 9.1.

Gardner-Webb head coach Rick Scruggs and his staff will coach barefoot in support of the school’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee’s Barefoot for Bare Feet Promotion benefiting Samaritan’s Feet.

Others involved with the game – including the Gardner-Webb cheerleaders and dance team – will participate barefoot. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

HIT AND RUN

T

he National Football League will limit its “British Invasion” to a single game again this season.

Well done, chaps.

The league toyed with the idea of adding a second game in Britain for the 2010-2011 regular season.

But commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed earlier this week that the 49ersBroncos game at Wembley Stadium on Oct.

31 would be the only European game this season.

That contest will mark the fourth straight year an NFL regular-season game will be played in London. I’m all for international travel. I loved looking at British landmarks in my Viewmaster as a kid.

But the NFL is an American game. I think regular-season games should be played on U.S. soil.

It’s a long haul from San Francisco and Denver to London. That kind of mid-season trip puts an unfair travel burden on those two teams. You hate to lose a game due to lingering jet lag.

So leave the American football to us, guys.

The Brits have their own version of “football.”

N.C. Drag Racing Hall of Fame to add five MOTORSPORTS NOTEBOOK:

K

ing residents Rickie Smith and Mike Boyles are among five people set for induction into the North Carolina Drag Racing Hall of Fame today at the Greensboro Coliseum, weather permitting.

Smith won International Hot Road Association (IHRA) Pro Stock championships in 1982, 1986, 1987, 1988 and 1989.

Boyles is the winningest sportsman racer in IHRA history, with eight championships, 22 national victories and 50 Pro-Am victories.

Other inductees are Jeff Taylor, Gene Fulton and Elmer Trett.

Taylor won three NHRA championships and 36 races. Fulton won three IHRA championships. Trett was the first to reach a trap speed of over 200 mph on a drag bike.

LESS MONEY NASCAR confirmed Friday that purses for races in its three national series will be reduced by 10 percent this season and that the sanctioning fees that tracks pay will also drop. Scenedaily.com reported that Dover Speedway

CEO Dennis McGlyn alluded to the purse reduction in a conference call with financial analysts on Thursday.

“Last year we launched an industry-wide effort to help the sport manage SPORTS budgets in this economy,” NASCAR spokesGreer man Ramsey Poston said Smith Friday. “NASCAR did the ■■■ right thing to work with the tracks to reduce their costs in order to manage the economic realities.

“In return, the tracks have done a great job reducing ticket prices and enhancing the fan experience. Likewise, we worked with the teams to contain costs such as elimination of testing and other steps. This is consistent with how virtually every sport and business has adjusted to the economy over the past year.”

CUT BACKS Robby Gordon said in a radio interview this week that he does not plan to enter all of the Cup races for the first

time since 2002 due to lack of sponsorship.

Gordon does plan to race in the Daytona 500 and some other events. He also plans to increase his off-road racing and to branch out into rally cars at the X Games, monster trucks and possibly return to the Indianapolis 500 for the first time since 2004.

RULES CHANGES NASCAR officials announced some minor pit road rules changes at a session with member of the media Thursday at the Research and Development Center in Concord.

Cars that speed off pit road to beat the caution car and avoid losing a lap will now be held a lap, essentially putting the car in the position where it would have been if it had not beaten the caution car. Previously, the car would have been put at the end of the field.

Also, drivers who cannot veer back on the track at the last second when the pits are closed at the start of a caution period will not be penalized if they continue through the pits without stopping.

NASCAR competition director Robin

Pemberton said the sanctioning body still is working toward introduction of fuel with ethanol along with fuel injection in 2011.

SPARK PLUGS Dave Marcis, Tommy Houston, Jimmy Hensley, Phil Parsons, Cale Yarborough, Charlie Glotzbach, L.D. Ottinger and Jack Ingram will be eight of the 12 drivers who will compete in this year’s edition of Bristol Motor Speedway’s late model race for former drivers. The race is scheduled after a 300-lap Nationwide event on March 20, the day before the track’s spring Cup event. Yarborough, Ottinger, Ingram and Parsons took part this year in the inaugural running. The other four drivers for this year are to be announced. ... Martinsville Speedway announced that a 200-lap NASCAR East race has been scheduled in conjunction with its 200-lap Modified Tour race on June 6. Qualifying will be a day earlier. ... Kevin Buskirk, most recently Elliott Sadler’s crew chief at Richard Petty Motorsports, is now in the same role at Tommy Baldwin Racing. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Warner calls it a career TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) – Kurt Warner has called an end to one of the great storybook careers in NFL history.

The 38-year-old quarterback announced his retirement from the game on Friday after a dozen years in a league that at first rejected him, then revered him as he came from nowhere to lead the lowly St. Louis Rams to two Super Bowls, winning the first of them.

Written off as a hasbeen, he rose again to lead the long-suffering Arizona Cardinals to the Super Bowl a year ago.

Warner, a man of deep faith who carried a Bible to each post-game news conference, walked away with a year left on a twoyear, $23 million contract, knowing he still had the skills to play at the highest level.

Nady, Cubs finalize $3.3 million, 1-year deal CHICAGO (AP) – Xavier Nady insisted his best days are ahead, and the Chicago Cubs would love to see him prove it after finalizing his $3.3 million, one-year contract.

The deal, agreed to earlier this week, was contingent on the 31-yearold outfielder passing a physical – he had his second elbow ligament replacement surgery last July and

appeared in only seven games with the New York Yankees last season.

“I feel like my best years are yet to come,” Nady said Friday during a conference call. “I feel like I’ve improved each year. I have a better understanding of what I need to do, whether it’s in the box or on the field, to become a better player. ... I feel like when I am healthy, I’m

a very productive player and a guy who can play everyday.”

Nady batted .305 with 25 homers and 97 RBIs in 148 games with the Pittsburgh Pirates and Yankees in 2008. He is a career .304 hitter in 28 games at Wrigley Field and will be part of an outfield mix that includes Alfonso Soriano, Kosuke Fukudome and newcomer Marlon Byrd.

“It’s been an amazing ride,” he said.

Warner had one of the greatest postseason performances ever in Arizona’s 51-45 overtime wild card victory over Green Bay on Jan. 10, but sustained a brutal hit in the Cardinals’ 4514 divisional round loss at New Orleans six days later.

In a comparison with the 14 quarterbacks to make the Hall of Fame in the last 25 years, Warner has a better career completion percentage, yards per pass attempt and yards per game.

In 124 regular-season games, Warner completed 65.5 percent of his passes for 32,344 yards and 208 touchdowns.

He and Fran Tarkenton are the only NFL QBs to throw for 100 touchdowns and 14,000 yards for two teams.

Points, Imada tied for lead at Torrey Pines SAN DIEGO (AP) – D.A. Points saved his best golf for the toughest track and shot a 7-under 65 on the South Course at Torrey Pines, giving him a share of the lead with Ryuji Imada in the Farmers Insurance Open.

Imada also played the South, which hosted the U.S. Open two years ago, and shot 68. They were at 11-under 133 and had a two-shot lead over Matt

Every (70) and Michael Sim of Australia, who shot a 62 on the North Course on Friday.

Phil Mickelson also played the easier North Course, although it took him a while to get going.

Mickelson birdied his last hole for a 67 and was four shots behind going into the weekend, when everyone who made the cut plays the South Course.

Moss out as UNC Wilmington’s coach WILMINGTON (AP) – UNC Wilmington basketball coach Benny Moss has been reassigned within the athletic department.

Athletic director Kelly Mehrtens said Friday that assistant coach Brooks Lee will take over the program on an interim basis, starting with today’s home game against Towson.

Moss’ attorney Jay Wesley Casteen said reports that the coach was fired were incorrect.

Moss was 41-74 in his fourth season at UNCW, and went 23-45 in the Colonial Athletic Association. The Seahawks (7-14, 3-7) have lost six of seven and finished with losing records in two of Moss’ three full seasons.

Wesleyan basketball ready to ‘think pink’ again

BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Wesleyan Christian Academy’s girls basketball team will don pink jerseys for a third straight year as the school participates in what has become a fun and important annual fundraiser.

The Trojans will play host to Mount Zion on Tuesday with a number of activities taking place in support of the Kay Yow/Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Cancer Fund. The basketball tripleheader tips off at 4:45 p.m. with the junior varsity boys game, followed by the varsity girls at 6 and varsity boys at 7:30.

Each team will take the court in pink T-shirts during warm-ups, all the coaches will wear pink shirts, and Wesleyan’s varsity girls will play in pink jerseys and use a pink and white basketball.

“That puts an exclamation mark on the event,” said Wesleyan athletic director Ricardo Viera. “It’s a great service project here for our kids to help them understand the benefit of helping others, helping a good cause like the Kay Yow fund.”

Fans can lend their support by purchasing tickets for a benefit dinner in the Wesleyan cafeteria. Stamey’s Barbecue will provide all the fixings for a second straight year for a cost of $5 in advance or $7 at the door.

Viera encouraged anyone planning to eat at the game – meal times are from 5 to 7 p.m. – to purchase a dinner coupon in advance from the school office or athletic department officials so plans can be made for how much food to prepare. Leftovers will be sold as take-out orders at the game, and remaining food after that will again be donated to an area shelter.

While the Wesleyan cancer awareness fundraiser is in its third year, last season was the first with Stamey’s on board. Viera hailed it as a huge success, with 428 dinners sold.

Players have been selling special T-shirts for the game for $10, and any remaining shirts can be purchased Tuesday at the door en lieu of admission to the game.

Game tickets are $5 per person and admission prices are separate from the dinner coupon.

Combining last year’s dinner and T-shirt sales, Viera said Wesleyan raised more than $1,300 for the WBCA Cancer Fund, which this year has partnered with The V Foundation for Cancer Research. Jim Valvano and Kay Yow both were coaching legends at N.C. State before losing battles to cancer. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Spotlight shines on Tebow MOBILE, Ala. (AP) – Tim Tebow’s position is set: He will play quarterback, and not the Wildcat version. Not tight end or H-back, either.

The guessing game for the former Florida quarterback’s NFL future is hardly over, but in today’s Senior Bowl his role is clear. He will help lead the South team against

Tony Pike and the North and operate an NFL-style offense that doesn’t call for him to plow over defenders on designed running plays when he’s not flinging passes.

This week’s practices and game are just the start of Tebow’s bid to prove he’s an NFL quarterback. But regardless of whether he convinced

the pro teams, the week hardly diminished his faith in his own abilities. “I believe in myself,� said Tebow, who battled strep throat early in the week.

He will be the biggest name in the All-Star game for senior NFL prospects, which includes few players regarded as surefire first-round draft picks.

Dunlap pleads no contest to DUI, gets probation

Roger Federer of Switzerland returns to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France during their men’s singles semifinal match at the Australian Open in Melbourne on Friday.

Federer routs Tsonga, eyes 4th Australian title MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) – In command on the court and cracking jokes afterward, Roger Federer advanced to the Australian Open final with a 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 victory over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on Friday in a nearly flawless performance.

Federer, seeking his fourth Australian title, reached his 22nd Grand Slam final.

The top-ranked Swiss made a tearful exit from last year’s final when he lost to Rafael Nadal.

This time, the man between Federer and another title Sunday will be Andy Murray, whose motivation has been fueled by a 74-year drought for British men in Grand Slam singles. He’s playing in his second final, having lost to Federer at the 2008 U.S. Open.

Earlier, Serena and Venus Williams won their fourth Australian Open doubles title, beating Cara Black and Liezel Huber 6-4, 6-3. Serena will play for the singles crown today against Justine Henin.

Murray defeated Marin Cilic in the semifinals after ousting Nadal in the quarters. Now, the Scot has raised big hopes back home with the prospect of becoming the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936 to win a major.

“I know he’d like to win the first for British tennis since what is it, 150,000 years?� Federer said to the crowd amid much laughter. “The poor guy who has to go through those moments over and over again.�

Federer has won a record 15 Grand Slam singles titles and is in an altogether different position than his opponent.

If Federer plays Sunday the way he did Friday against Tsonga, Britain might have to wait longer.

Federer reached his 18th final in the last 19 Grand Slam events by overpowering the 2008 Australian Open finalist.

His semifinal loss to Novak Djokovic two years ago the only break in the finals sequence.

Federer did not face a break point against Tsonga.

Asked to provide advice to Murray, Tsonga said: “Be ready to run.�

Serena Williams will be going for a 12th Grand Slam singles title when she faces Henin. Henin’s success comes only two tournaments into her return from a 20-month retirement, a comeback the Belgian herself has called “extraordinary� and Williams called an “amazing� story.

Venus, Serena take doubles crown MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) – Venus Williams is a much better doubles partner for her sister Serena than she is a keeper of the score.

The Williams sisters won their fourth Australian Open doubles title on Friday, beating Cara Black and Liezel Huber 6-4, 6-3 in the final at Rod Laver Arena.

At the end, Venus couldn’t figure out why Serena was so excited about what she thought was a game point. And

Rumford shoots 66 for lead in Qatar DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Brett Rumford of Australia had a 6-under 66 Friday for a one-shot lead after the second round of the Qatar Masters.

Bradley Dredge, the first-round leader, trailed with a 69.

Serena was perplexed why Venus was so subdued on match point.

The problem: Venus had lost track of the score.

The sisters, sitting in front of their newly won silverware in a news conference, couldn’t contain their laughter when asked about the comical finish to the match. “I actually didn’t know the score, I thought that it was 5-2,� Venus said. “I really don’t know how I lost track.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) – Former Florida defensive end Carlos Dunlap has pleaded no contest to driving under the influence.

Dunlap appeared at a court hearing on Friday in Gainesville. He was placed on probation for a year and had his drivers license suspended for six months. He also must complete 50 hours of community service, participate in a victim’s impact panel and pay about $1,000 in fines.

Dunlap was arrested Dec. 1 after police found him passed out behind the wheel at an intersection days before the Southeastern Conference championship game. The 6-foot-6, 290-pound junior from North Charleston, S.C., was suspended then reinstated three weeks later.

Following his two sacks against Cincinnati in the Sugar Bowl, Dunlap announced he would enter the NFL draft.

Vonn 3rd in super-combined, extends overall lead ST. MORITZ, Switzerland (AP) – Lindsey Vonn extended her lead in the overall World Cup standings Friday, skiing a cautious slalom run to finish third in a super combined won by Sweden’s Anja Paerson.

Vonn earned 60 World Cup points to build a 116point lead over Germany’s Maria Riesch, who skied out of the super-G in the first run. Vonn said her mindset switched af-

ter Riesch misjudged her line and skied left of a gate near the bottom.

Paerson clocked 2 minutes, 00.54 seconds in the combined super-G and slalom runs on the Corviglia piste. She celebrated her 41st career World Cup win – fourth on the all-time list – with her trademark belly slide in the finish area.

Paerson also won the super-combi last season in St. Moritz. She also

looks to defend the slalom gold medal she won at the 2006 Turin Olympics.

Vonn said she got a mental boost ahead of the super-combi race at the Vancouver Olympics, scheduled for Feb. 14 on Whistler Mountain.

Michaela Kirchgasser of Austria was second, 0.43 behind, and Vonn trailed by 0.92 after being second fastest in the super-G.

America’s Ligety wins World Cup giant slalom KRANJSKA GORA, Slovenia (AP) – Ted Ligety won a World Cup race for the first time this season, capturing a giant slalom Friday on one of his favorite hills.

The American finished the Pokoren 3 course in a combined time of 2 minutes, 22.02 seconds to win the event for a third straight year. It was the fifth victory of his career.

Marcel Hirscher of Austria was 0.34 back in second. Kjetil Jansrud of Norway took third, 0.51 behind Ligety. Bode Miller skipped the race to rest his sore ankle before next month’s Vancouver Olympics. Ligety overtook Benjamin Raich of Austria for first place in the GS standings with 292 points. Raich and Massimiliano Blardone of Italy share second at 259 with two races left.

Dinner and a show whets the appetite

community partners, donors and volunteers.

This is the first “Broadway Our Way: Stage of All Faces” production and the drama program was made possible by a Community Arts Project Grant from the High Point Area Arts Council.

The grant enabled LifeSpan to conduct drama classes for 23 adults.

Previously this group had little understanding and no experience in planning and executing a theater production. It had long been a dream of staff member Thomas Scott to bring the experience of theater to LifeSpan through drama classes.

The cast of characters were ready. The stage was set.

Board member Donna LaBranch served as the emcee for the evening and began, “I am honored to be part of a wonderful organization which strives and thrives on community inclusion.”

LifeSpan is continuing to expand their enrichment programs for their participants so this drama program adds to the painting, horticulture, pottery, quilting and others.

Each segment beginning with America ...

America had its own scenic sets and costuming. According Arts Coordinator Betty Carter, the drama students were involved in all aspects of the dinner theater from shopping at local thrift shops to designing and setting up the stage. ChefSpan, the cooking class at LifeSpan planned and prepared the menu which featured a delicious lasagna. Carter told me, “It is often thought that people with intellectual disabilities do not have the ability or interest to participate in theater; but clearly the individuals at LifeSpan were determined to live out that old adage, ‘The show must go on.’ ” It went on beautifully under the direction of Christine Fairley

Carter’s husband Von ran the sound system for the production which also included an appearance of young singers from the Arc of Safety Preschool.

There was applause as the drama students successfully performed number after number and no sign of stage fright as the impressed crowd showed their delight. Later Patti Huggins, former executive director of LifeSpan of High Point and current state training manager, told me that the confidence and pride that the drama students achieved were immeasurable. One “actor,” who donned a chef hat for his part, had not every uttered a single word in all of his time at LifeSpan but, after the pride and excitement of his performance, he literally shocked the staff at LifeSpan and talked about

It was miraculous and that is what enrichment programs are all about ... pride in accomplishment in their creativity.

Travis Compton, community outreach coordinator for the Arts Council, was impressed, “I was absolutely amazed with the entire night and amazed how the clients were matched to the perfect role. The young lady who did the flower dance brought tears to my eyes and Elvis had us ‘all shook up.’ I look forward to future performances.”

We all do.

A big personal “thank you” to my friends Don & Carolyn Kearns for inviting me and my husband Stanley as guests to the Debon-Aire Dance Club Gala last month. The Debon-Aire Dance Club has it going on.

before going to the High Point Country Club for the glitz and glitter evening of ballroom dancing.

Mary Arthur and Vivian Frazier were wonderfully creative in their centerpieces and with the music of the Finishing Touch Quartet one could easily imagine being in the now closed Rainbow Room atop Rockefeller Center renown for its revolving dance floor and big band orchestra. Now you get the picture. Believe me, all of the women looked beautiful and all of the men looked “debonaire”... truly they did!

As I watched the DebonAire Dance Club members including former mayor Roy Culler (known as the club’s music man) and his wife Dot, Ann & Vann York, Martha and John Haworth and Ralph and Rae Logan glide across the dance floor my curiosity began to pique as I wondered how all of this got started. LaMarie and Carlton Clinard are the unofficial historians of the group.

LaMarie told me that the Debon-Aire Dance Club dates back to 1964 and was started by five

couples. First, they would go out to eat and then take dances lessons.

LaMarie said that, at that time, it took some persuasion to get the guys to take the lessons.

There was a dance club in Greensboro but the High Pointers decided that they should have their own club (good for them). The first five couples quickly grew to almost 30 couples. They first met at the Plantation Supper Club. Through the years they have met at a number of places including the Top of the Mart, the Holiday Inn and the Jamestown Town Hall. Currently they meet at the Women’s Club in Thomasville. Once they even met at the farm of the Cullers for a covereddish dinner and dress of the evening was “jeans!”

So it has been from denim to diamonds, from swing to tango, from past to present for the DebonAire Club in their love of friendship, their love of dancing!

World Bank official: Invest in poor countries DAVOS, Switzerland – The World Bank’s managing director has urged global power players to start investing and lending in low-income countries to help the 64 million people plunged into poverty because of the global economic crisis.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said in an interview with The Associated Press that poor countries didn’t cause the crisis and don’t have the ability to totally bring themselves out of it.

She said Friday they need banks to start lending and investors to start putting money into businesses that create jobs.

Chevron profit falls 37 percent NEW YORK – Chevron Corp. said Friday its fourth-quarter profit fell 37 percent as higher crude prices led to huge losses in its refining business.

Oil refineries, which turn crude into gasoline, diesel and other fuels, struggled last year as oil prices doubled from February to December.

Chairman and CEO John Watson told investors in a conference call that Chevron would cut spending by $1 billion this year on its downstream business, which includes refining, marketing and transportation.

Chevron shares fell 46 cents to $72.78 in afternoon trading.

No solution in dispute over Iceland deposits LONDON – Talks between Icelandic, British and Dutch officials ended Friday with no immediate solution to a dispute over compensation for funds lost when Iceland’s banking system collapsed.

In a joint statement, the trio of nations said their ministers “exchanged views,” but declined to elaborate further on Friday’s discussions in The Hague, Netherlands.

Honeywell 4Q profit slips 1 percent MORRIS TOWNSHIP, N.J. – The manufacturing conglomerate Honeywell International Inc. said Friday its fourth-quarter profit slipped 1 percent on lower sales from its aerospace and automation units.

The company reaffirmed its 2010 financial guidance. Analysts expected earnings at the high end of that range. Its shares fell 91 cents, or 2.3 percent, to $38.91 in afternoon trading.

Honeywell said its profit fell to $698 million, or 91 cents per share, in the last three months of 2009, down from $707 million a year earlier.

Obama retools job creation tax credit BALTIMORE (AP) – President Barack Obama renewed his call for tax incentives to create jobs Friday, saying a greater effort is needed even though his administration has “stopped the flood of job losses.”

Obama wants to give companies a $5,000 tax credit for each net new worker they hire in 2010.

Also, businesses that increase wages or hours for their existing workers in 2010 would be reimbursed for the extra Social Security payroll taxes they would pay.

No company could reap more than $500,000 from the combined benefits, one of several features meant to tailor the program more to small businesses than to large corporations.

House Democrats rejected a similar proposal

AP

President Barack Obama shakes hands with House Minority Whip Eric Cantor of Va., (right) as House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio looks on after the president took questions from Republican lawmakers in Baltimore on Friday. last month after questioning how it would work.

On Friday, some GOP lawmakers called the retooled plan too tepid.

But Obama urged Con-

gress to enact it, saying economists consider it an effective way to spur job growth.

“It’s time to put America back to work,” the

president told workers after touring the Chesapeake Machine Company in Baltimore. “We’ve had two very tough years.

And while these proposals will create jobs all across America, we’ve got a long way to go to make up for the millions of jobs that we lost in this recession.”

Obama planned to speak later to a gathering of House Republicans in Baltimore. Rep. Mike Pence, chairman of the House Republican Conference, told reporters, “we will take this opportunity to respectfully but firmly remind the president of our alternatives.”

Under Obama’s plan, which he mentioned in Wednesday’s State of the Union address, companies created in 2010 could receive up to $250,000 in

the tax benefits. Existing companies could not close down and then reopen under a new name and receive any benefits, the White House said.

The program would end Dec. 31 and would cost an estimated $33 billion.

Obama wants to fund it with money repaid to the government from the 2008-09 bank bailout program. The Social Security system would not lose any revenue under the plan, which officials described Thursday ahead of Obama’s Baltimore visit.

Obama said said his revised proposal will be less susceptible to abuse from employers trying to game the system. Companies that fire workers and then quickly replace them would not qualify for the tax breaks, he said.

Economy grows at fastest rate since ’03 WASHINGTON (AP) – The economy’s fasterthan-expected growth at the end of last year, fueled by companies boosting output to keep stockpiles up, is likely to weaken as consumers keep a lid on spending.

The 5.7 percent annual growth rate in the fourth quarter was the fastest pace since 2003. It marked two straight quarters of growth after four quarters of decline. Growth exceeded expectations mainly because business spending on equipment and software jumped much more than forecast.

Still, economists expect growth to slow this year as companies finish restocking inventories and as government stimulus efforts fade. Many estimate the nation’s gross domestic product will grow 2.5 percent to 3 percent in the current quarter and about 2.5 percent or less for the full year.

That won’t be fast enough to significantly reduce the unemployment rate, now 10 percent. Most analysts expect the rate to keep rising for several months and remain close to 10 percent through the end of the year.

Richard Trigg sets up a screen press for a run of industrial equipment front panels at Glavin Industries in Solon, Ohio. The economy grew for a second straight quarter from October through December, posting a 5.7 percent annual rate, the fastest pace since the third quarter of 2003.

High unemployment and stagnant wage growth will likely keep consumers cautious about spending. Wages and benefits paid to U.S. workers posted a scant gain in the fourth quarter. And for all of last year, workers’ compensation rose by

the smallest amount on records going back more than a quarter-century.

The economic recovery could falter if consumers, who account for 70 percent of economic activity, lack the income to ramp up spending.

“That’s why there’s so

much hand-wringing right now,” said Brian Bethune, chief U.S. financial economist for IHS Global Insight. “Can the economy really sustain this? That’s the big question mark sitting out there.”

Changes to inventories added 3.4 percentage

points to the fourth-quarter growth, the Commerce Department said in its report Friday. Excluding inventories, the economy would have grown at a 2.2 percent clip, the government said. That’s an improvement from 1.5 percent in the third quarter.

Culp files copyright infringement lawsuit HIGH POINT – Culp Inc. Friday announced that it is pursuing monetary damages and injunctive relief against Gum Tree Fabrics for willful infringement of Culp’s copyrighted fabric design known as “Palomino.”

Culp has asked the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina to stop Gum Tree Fabrics - and all those acting in concert or participation with Gum Tree Fabrics- from offering, distributing and selling the infringing fabric

called “Ringo.” Culp has further requested that the court award Culp damages and a disgorgement of profits wrongly reaped

by Gum Tree Fabrics through its unlawful activities.

Culp is the owner of many copyrighted designs, including its Palomino design, which was awarded a copyright registration certificate from the U.S. Copyright Office.

The Palomino design has been assigned Copyright Registration No. VA 1-429-919, effective June 15, 2006. Culp’s copyright is valid and

enforceable, as evidenced by the thorough examination conducted by the U.S. Copyright Office prior to granting Culp’s registration.

Culp has devoted substantial time and money to create innovative and unique fabric designs for its customers. Culp’s highly successful Palomino design is one such design among many others offered

by Culp.

Gum Tree Fabrics issued a press release on Jan. 26 regarding this matter, but it does not answer the questions that have

been raised about Gum Tree Fabrics’ conduct.

Culp has attempted to resolve this matter by communicating with Gum Tree Fabrics to provide fabric samples, explain the legal issues involved, and work out a settlement. To date these efforts have not been fruitful.

The comments from Gum Tree Fabrics in its press release about fabric specimens and the alleged “look” of other fabrics in question are not suitable defenses to Culp’s copyright claim.

Oil prices continue drop NEW YORK (AP) – A jump in U.S. gross domestic product wasn’t enough to ease concerns Friday about falling energy consumption as oil prices dropped below $74 a barrel.

Benchmark crude for

March delivery gave up 30 cents at $73.34 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

At the pump, retail gasoline prices continued to slide, giving up a half penny overnight to a new national aver-

age of $2.685 a gallon, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. Gasoline has been falling for more than two weeks, but a gallon of regular unleaded is 84.2 cents higher than the same time last year.

BUSINESS THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 2010 www.hpe.com

Stocks fall as GDP rises NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks ended a disappointing January with a loss as investors questioned whether the economy will be able to sustain a big fourth-quarter growth rate. Downbeat earnings at technology companies also pulled stocks down.

The Dow Jones industrials fell 53 points Friday to close the month with a loss of 3.4 percent. Just 10 days earlier, the average reached a 15-month high,

but investors who are increasingly uneasy about the economy, earnings and politics have been pulling money out of the market.

Many market watchers believe that January sets the tone for the rest of the year in the stock market. And historical data backs that up. Since 1950, the S&P 500’s full-year direction has matched its January performance more than 90 percent of the time, according to the

Stock Trader’s Almanac.

Still the January barometer, as some call it, isn’t fool-proof. Last year, when the market had its worst January ever, the Dow fell 11.4 percent for the month, and then went on to post an 18.8 percent gain for all of 2009.

Stocks inititally rose Friday after the Commerce Department said the gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the economy, expanded at an annual rate of 5.7 percent

during the fourth quarter, easily topping forecasts of 4.5 percent. The strong GDP growth, coupled with an upbeat report on manufacturing in the Midwest, reassured investors that the economy is continuing its recovery.

However, the report also raised questions about the sustainability of a recovery. Most of the fourth-quarter growth came from companies replenishing low inventories.

Toyota sends gas pedals to factories, not dealerships DETROIT (AP) — The Associated Press has learned that Toyota is sending new gas pedal systems to car factories rather than dealerships who want the parts to take care of millions of customers whose pedals may stick.

Toyota spokesman Brian Lyons confirms information in a company e-mail obtained by the AP that says parts were shipped to factories. Lyons says that’s how the company normally distributes parts.

But some dealers say they should get the parts first because they now have no way to fix the pedals on any of the 4.2 million recalled vehicles affecting eight U.S. models.

Toyota has halted production and sales of the models, including the best-selling Camry sedan.

Lyons said Toyota did not send the parts to dealers because it has not decided whether to have the systems in the recalled vehicles repaired or replaced.

The company on Thursday pre-

sented a remedy to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and it is awaiting a decision before proceeding.

“We’re not ready to launch this program yet,” Lyons said, adding that letters must be sent to customers whose vehicles were recalled and service technicians must be trained on whatever solution the company ultimately decides.

He said he did not know if any parts had been shipped from factories to parts depots, which is the next step in the process, but dealerships don’t have them.

Engineers and other workers were up all night Thursday getting the process ready, he said.

The company has said its highest priority is fixing the pedals for existing customers.

“Nothing is more important to Toyota than doing the right thing for our customers – and restoring their confidence in the safety of our vehicles,” Toyota said in a statement.

But dealers and customers were unhappy with the delays in getting parts. Earl Stewart, owner of a Toyota dealership in North Palm Beach, Fla., said his service technicians might not know the details of how to fix the gas pedal systems, but they know to install new ones, and the parts should have gone to dealers rather than factories.

“That’s absolutely stupid,” he said. “It makes no sense at all.”

He said Toyota may be trying to save money by using a less-expensive repair on the millions of vehicles that already have been sold, and using the new parts to restart factories that have been closed while it irons out the problem.

“That just doesn’t wash well with the customers out there driving these vehicles,” he said. “I think at this point you throw cost to the wind and do everything you can to rebuild your brand and your image.”

Consumer Reports pulls recommendations WASHINGTON (AP) – Consumer Reports, an influential publication for car buyers, has temporarily suspended its “recommended” status for eight recalled Toyota models because of faulty gas pedal systems, dealing another blow to the Japanese automaker’s reputation in the United States.

The Yonkers, N.Y.-based publication said Friday it issued the suspension because of reports of

the accelerator pedal sticking and causing unintended acceleration.

It also advised used car shoppers to avoid buying any of the affected vehicles until the issue is resolved.

“Although incidents of sudden acceleration are rare, we are taking this action because the vehicles have been identified as potentially unsafe without a fix yet being available to consumers,” said Jim Guest,

President of Consumers Union, the publisher of Consumer Reports.

“In general our position is that you shouldn’t compromise on safety.”

The decision by Consumer Union to pull the recommendation represented another setback for Toyota, which has watched its pristine reputation for quality and safety tarnished by two massive recalls affecting some of its best-selling vehicles.

Honda recalls 646,000 cars NEW YORK (AP) — Honda is recalling 646,000 Fit hatchbacks worldwide because of a glitch that could cause water to enter the power window mechanism, causing components to overheat.

A spokeswoman says the recall affects the 20072008 models of the Fit, which is sold in other countries as the Jazz and City. The recall affects Asia, Latin America, Europe, South Africa and

North America. About 140,000 vehicles are affected in the U.S. In South Africa, one person was killed last year in a vehicle fire related to the malfunction.

The spokeswoman says

no injuries have been reported in the U.S. The company will notify customers by mail once it has a solution. For now, customers are being advised to keep their windows rolled up during rain or snow.

Winter storm hits South NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(AP) – Southeastern states were preparing Friday as snow began to fall from a storm that has already toppled Midwestern power lines, closed major highways, buried parts of the southern Plains in heavy ice and snow and left tens of thousands of people in the dark.

Snow and sleet began falling Friday in Tennessee, and forecasters said some parts of the Southeast could see up to a foot of accumulation.

The heaviest snow was expected in Arkansas near the Missouri state line, northern Tennessee near the Kentucky and Virginia borders and western North Carolina, according to the Na-

Mark Rose, a forecaster with the weather service’s Nashville office, called it “a major winter storm for this part of the country – heck, for any part of it.”

The storm left 13 inches of snow in the northern Texas Panhandle, where nearly all of Interstate 40 from the Texas-Oklahoma line to New Mexico was closed.

The U.S. Agency for International Development, which is coordinating American assistance in Haiti, has expressed no interest in sending the trailers to the earthquakestricken country. FEMA spokesman Clark Stevens declined to comment.

Tennessee State Trooper Lt. Preston Donaldson (right) helps jump-start state trooper Gil Smith’s car at the state Capitol building after it would not start in the cold weather on Friday.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – The trailer industry and lawmakers are pressing the government to send Haiti thousands of potentially formaldehyde-laced trailers left over from Hurricane Katrina – an idea denounced by some as a crass and self-serving attempt to dump inferior American products on the poor.

“Just go ahead and sign their death certificate,” said Paul Nelson of Coden, Ala., who contends his mother died because of formaldehyde fumes in a FEMA trailer.

The 100,000 trailers became a symbol of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s bungled response to Katrina.

Honda Fit is small, smart package ANN M. JOB THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NUTS & BOLTS

Go figure. Even in a bad economic year like 2009, Honda surpassed its original sales projections for its compact Fit hatchback.

Maybe it was the fact the five-door Fit ranks secondbest in government gasoline mileage among hatchbacks while offering more cargo space than many larger cars. Perhaps it was the Fit being a consistent “recommended buy” by Consumer Reports magazine. Or was it the fact the Fit is ranked as the best entry compact car in retaining its value after three years of ownership?

The Fit also has been cited as one of the “10 Best Cars” by Car & Driver magazine for every one of the four years that the car has been sold in the United States. And it has higher crash protection ratings than two major hatchback competitors – one from Nissan, the other from Toyota.

Whatever the reason, the unassuming-looking Fit continues to endear itself to buyers even though its starting retail price is higher than many competitors’.

Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destina-

This photo released by Honda shows the 2010 Honda Fit Sport, which retails for around $15,000. tion charge, is $15,610 for a base, five-passenger, 2010 Fit with 117-horsepower, four-cylinder engine and manual transmission. The 2010 Nissan Versa hatchback starts at $13,870 with 122-horsepower four cylinder powerplant, while the 2010 Toyota Yaris hatchback has a starting retail price of $13,405 with 106-horsepower, four-cylinder engine. Both the Versa and

Yaris base prices include manual transmission.

Note that the Versa and Yaris also are sold as sedans, while the Fit only has one body style.

So every one of the 67,315 Fits bought last year was a five-passenger, tallish hatchback. Honda officials had projected annual sales of 50,000 when they introduced the Fit to the United States in 2006.

From the outside, the

Fit looks pleasant and short in length. It’s one of the few cars where small wheels and tires – they’re 15- or 16-inchers, depending on which Fit you get – look OK. Just 13.5 feet in length from bumper to bumper and 5.5 feet wide, the Fit is, well, easy to fit into small parking spaces.

It makes U-turns without fuss and obviously doesn’t need a lot of room to maneuver.

Best of all, visibility for the driver and passengers is good. Everyone sits up on seats that are positioned higher than those in a regular car. Using the manual height adjustment for the driver seat in the test Fit Sport model, I even had my legs extending downward in a more buslike fashion, rather than merely extended forward.

roofline that’s 5 feet off the ground add an open feel. I appreciate that Honda installed small, rectangular glass sections at the lower edge of each side of the windshield, rather than building a thick metal pillar there. It meant I could more readily spot pedestrians in crosswalks as I made turns.
