Council begrudgingly funds work force group BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A funding request from a local work force development initiative raised hackles Monday among some High Point City Council members who were critical of the group’s financial practices. During its regular meeting, the council voted 5-4 to reimburse the High Point Alliance for Workforce Preparedness for expenses not to exceed $21,000. The council previously agreed to appropriate $50,000 from the council’s election account for the effort, provided it

met several conditions, including securing matching funding from the private sector in support of its mission of a variety of work force development, employment, training and education efforts. The alliance – a nonprofit organization formed in 2008 to address the findings in a 2005 work force study – has been unable to meet the city’s requirements and instead obtained a line of credit of up to $45,000 from a bank, $14,000 of which has been drawn, with plans to spend another $7,000, according to the city. Council members who voted against Monday’s action – Lat-

imer Alexander, Bill Bencini, Chris Whitley and Mayor Becky Smothers – argued that this went against what the council agreed to when it approved the $50,000 during budget deliberations last June. “Our agreement was, we’d pay matching money, not pay off notes at a bank,” Alexander said. “It was supposed to be privately-raised money,” Bencini added. “The point was to show buy-in from the business community. There’s not buy-in if it’s a line of credit.” Council member Foster Douglas countered that, in his view,

it didn’t matter how the alliance obtained the funding, it’s what it would be used for – hiring someone to work with Guilford County Schools students – that counted. City legal staff advised the council that Monday’s motion to approve the funding had to be worded so that it involved reimbursement of expenses and not debt retirement. “I am concerned that if it’s used immediately to pay off someone’s debt, that’s a problem,” said City Attorney Fred Baggett. “Clearly, that would skirt the law.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Home repair professionals prepare for new law BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A new law regarding lead-based paint could be a two-edged sword for home professionals, according to industry officials. A lead-based paint renovation, repair and painting rule will be enforced April 22 in North Carolina by the Environmental Protection Agency. The law will affect “contractors, property managers and others who disturb painted surfaces,” according to a statement from the organization. It requires home professionals who work in homes

that contain lead-based paint or that were built before 1978 to receive special training. “If there is any sanding, cutting holes in the walls or any type of paint removal, then (the contractor) has to have this certification,” said Amy Hedgecock, residential property manager at Fowler and Fowler Realtors. A positive side of the certification is that it teaches industry workers to disturb as little leadbased paint as possible, according to Ed Terry, executive vice president of the High Point Regional Association of Realtors. The HPRAR began holding training sessions

for the certification Monday. “The focus of the training is to disturb the paint as little as possible on doors, windows and walls,” he said. “If this can be avoided, environmental issues will be minimized if not eliminated.” But the law potentially could have a negative impact on home professionals and consumers, Hedgecock said. “The cost is going to go up for builders to do their business in renovating and remodeling,” she said. “They’re going to have to get the certification and different equipment that the EPA requires.”

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

She said the rules of the new law also require more cleanup time when dealing with a lead-based paint project, resulting in extra costs that could show up on a consumer’s bill. Also, finding a certified contractor may be a challenge since training classes are filling up, she said. “The class sizes are very limited,” she said. “EPA says one teacher per six students are allowed in a class. In addition, getting the word out to contractors that they need the certification has been a challenge.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) – South Carolina first lady Jenny Sanford writes in her new book that she got short of breath and later felt unwanted and ugly when she found out about her husband’s affair with an Argentine woman. The New York Daily News reported on its Web site Monday that Sanford also writes that one of her sons exclaimed that it’s “worse than Eliot Spitzer” when she told them about Gov. Mark Sanford’s infidelity. Spitzer is the former New York governor who resigned after acknowledging he was a client of a call-girl ring.

Black History Month’s project 2010 unfolds

or the third year in a row, Tom Blount has asked me to come up with something special for The High Point Enterprise for Black History Month. According to feedback, what we started three years ago has been well received. In other words, it has helped educate both black and white citizens about a community that previously had only been written about as seen through the eyes of others. My black history project this year came about pursuant to a street quiz that I started with my Pointers Internet history gang last year. I chose to do a street quiz because I wanted to educate my gang and you on just what I believe started the early demise of our community. Since I have a complete directory of households in High Point for the year 1949, I decided to use it to open folk’s eyes as to the following: • Ratio of homeownership to rental houses in the black community. • How many blacks had a telephone as a means of communicating. • Surnames because many have disappeared.

• Street boundaries that kept blacks segregated. • What areas had the largest concentration of home ownership? This may sound to some like a senseGLENN less project, but to CHAVIS me, it highlights ■■■ the struggles of the black person in High Point during the days of overt segregation. If you look at the same streets today, you get a good picture of what led to the slow decay and death of a community, which had little control over its destiny. Based on my research, I can say the lack of homeownership and institutional racism destroyed and continues to wreak havoc in our original black communities. You certainly can’t borrow money if financial institutions will not lend it to you. All of this eventually led to the lost of that sense of neighbor and pride in a neighborhood. I truly believe if blacks had been treated fairly and given the same opportunities as others of a different skin hue, we would

not be studying and talking as much today about revitalizing the so called Core City or any other areas of the inner city. Until we dismantle this volatile monster called institutional racism, we will continue to pay in ways that far exceed our national debt. One hundred and forty five years have passed, and we are still living in a nation consumed by skin color and afraid of the word “equality”. In case you haven’t noticed, the Enterprise is changing. Three years ago Black History Month was not embraced openly in our community and had little local appeal, especially to black folk. However, thanks to an open and candid discussion between Blount and me, we are trying, in this small way, to help bring about positive change within our High Point community. A community newspaper doing the right thing is a step in the right direction. That said, read the listings and take the quiz. Maybe you will be one of this year’s lucky winners.

A&T students began sit-in protests against segregation on Feb. 1, 1960. Fellow students joined those silent protests in the following days, and the event soon sparked a series of sit-ins and silent protests across the country during the civil rights era. The museum houses numerous artifacts and exhibits, including multimedia presentations and an old Coca-Cola machine that has a 5-cent slot for whites and 10-cent slot for blacks. Jackson, who provided the invocation at the opening ceremony, said the museum would serve as “a museum, not a mausoleum, of action.” “This museum will act as a frame in time for their reference,” he said about the four men. Gov. Beverly Perdue, the state’s first female governor, said the act of the four men paved the

Our capitalist system already has been destroyed In response to Nan Puckett’s letter Jan. 28 accusing President Obama of destroying capitalism: Using divisive and demeaning terms like Marxism and “Hugo Chavez like” only takes away from her argument. The thing that strikes me is that Puckett likes a capitalistic society where banks do whatever they darn-well please and customers be damned. She likes the current capitalism where there is little or no competition and where our Congress is bought and sold by lobbyists and big business. I remember a competitive capitalism where banks paid an interest rate that related to what they charged in loan interest rates, where bank fees were related to costs and not used to enhance profits, and where credit card fees and interest rates did not increase when banks wanted to enhance their bottom line. I remember when charging double digit interest rates would get you time in jail. I remember a time when banks encouraged young, old, rich and poor to have a fee-free saving account. Now, you need to have several thousand dollars in the bank to have free banking, and yet we wonder why people are not saving as they did in the past. In the past, banks kept a majority of the loans they gave out so they cared if the person could pay off the loan. Now, they securitize

The walls of segregation began to fall

t was a heck of a challenge over the stormy, frigid weekend to ready downtown Greensboro for Monday’s opening and dedication of the International Civil Rights Center & Museum. But it was much less daunting than the one that faced four N.C. A&T State University students on the afternoon of Feb. 1, 1960. Fifty years ago Monday, Joseph McNeil, Franklin McCain, Ezell Blair Jr. and David Richmond walked from the A&T campus in east Greensboro to the Elm Street F.W. Woolworth’s department store downtown, stood up to segregation laws at the time and sat down at the white’s only lunch counter. Their actions that February afternoon were followed by days and weeks and months of “sit-down” demonstrations in Greensboro, High Point, across North Carolina, around the South and in other segregated locations across the nation. That Feb. 1 sit-in at Woolworth’s, now site of the new civil rights museum, was not the first time blacks had tried a sit-in to protest segregation laws of that era. But the civil rights fervor ignited by those four A&T students led to more demonstrations that eventually would help the walls of segregation in this nation to fall. For that, this state and nation are grateful. And now, Sit-In Movement Inc., led by current Guilford County Commissioners Chairman Skip Alston and N.C. Rep. Earl Jones, both of Greensboro, has produced a fine study center and museum to honor the Feb. 1 sit-in participants, to commemorate the significance of the demonstrations and to educate the public about the U.S. Civil Rights Movement. This is a facility of which Greensboro, Guilford County and the state of North Carolina can be proud. The museum will attract visitors from around the world, not just the United States. And it quickly will become a heritage tourism attraction. The project, however, during its nearly two decades of development has spawned controversies over funding, ownership and management and the extraordinarily long construction period. Any lingering questions and questions in the future must be addressed quickly and thoroughly by Alston, Jones and others involved so the museum’s fullest potential can be reached. There must be accountability and transparency. Monday’s museum dedication, pulled off nicely under tough weather conditions, was an important day for Greensboro – and that February day in 1960 surely was a high point in the history of that city. Now, the impact of that day always will be remembered.

Climate-change bandwagon broke spokes along the way

ust months ago, it seemed just about everyone was trying to jump onto the climate-change bandwagon as it hurtled down the hill like a juggernaut. Newly elected President Barack Obama and congressional leaders championed a proposed regulatory regime they called “cap and trade.” Hollywood celebrities publicly fretted about their carbon footprints (in between jet flights to beaches and ski chalets). Al Gore and Rajendra Paschauri, the N.C. State-trained economist who chaired the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), shared the stage to receive a Nobel Prize. And here in North Carolina, Gov. Beverly Perdue talked incessantly about “green jobs” while a legislative commission met to devise a state policy to combat global warming. The climate-change bandwagon isn’t rolling anymore. It never made it down the hill. In fact, it’s lying in a ditch on the side of the road. Up in Washington, cap and trade imploded. In Copenhagen, Obama and other world politicians preened for the cameras while their aides privately made sure nothing happened. Over in India, Rajendra Paschauri came under fire by public officials and reputable scientists for the IPCC’s shoddy science and his own personal conflicts of interest. And in Raleigh, the legislative commission on climate change has become either an afterthought or an object of ridicule. What explains the unlikely fate of the climate-change juggernaut? There were multiple causes. The Climategate e-mail scandal exposed key players in the IPCC not just as globalwarming alarmists but as conspirators actively engaged in trying to block access to public records and manipulate the peer-review process to punish dissenting scientists. New disclosures about serious

flaws in the collection of climate data raised doubts about whether apparent warming trends were real. The election of Republican Scott Brown ended the fiction that the U.S. Senate would pass any cap-andOPINION trade regime that would cost American jobs while John having no discernible efHood fect on global climate. ■■■ That’s a pretty wordy explanation, I realize. Let me put it more simply: if you’ve gotten your power or heating-oil bill this month, you know why climate-change alarmists are desperate and angry. Their pitch is falling on deaf ears. With the state’s jobless rate still north of 11 percent and many people struggling to make ends meet, North Carolinians are reeling from the news that the cost of heating their homes and businesses shot up by as much as 50 percent over the same time last year. Now, I’m not going to make the cheap rhetorical point that plenty of Carolinians wouldn’t have minded a little global warming last month. The real point is that because any state or federal measures to achieve significant reductions in carbon emissions would necessitate pushing energy prices higher, there is simply no constituency for such measures. People have enough sense to recognize that jacking up the cost of operating businesses, creating jobs and running households is no way to help North Carolina recover its economic footing. That bandwagon over in the ditch is broken and burning. Both faulty mechanics and driver error are to blame. JOHN HOOD is president of the John Locke Foundation and publisher of CarolinaJournal.com.

DAY OF CELEBRATION On Feb. 1, 1960, Joseph McNeil, Franklin McCain, Ezell Blair Jr. and David Richmond walked from the A&T campus in Greensboro to the Elm Street F.W. Woolworth’s department store downtown, stood up to segregation laws and sat down at the whites only lunch counter. Their actions marked a defininig moment in the civil rights era. The Greensboro sit-in sparked a movement that spread through the South. Today, the sit-in location at Woolworth’s is now the site of the new civil rights museum. The centerpiece is the historic lunch counter and the original stools where the “Greensboro Four” sat for their nonviolent protest. Thousands of visitors gathered in downtown Greensboro to mark the historic celebration on Monday.

Venue will draw tourism BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GREENSBORO – The longterm stability of the International Civil Rights Center and Museum has been questioned since the idea surfaced more than 15 years ago. Can it sustain itself in downtown Greensboro? Will it attract enough visitors? These questions, among others, have been asked by some city officials and Guilford County residents. But officials and participants at the museum’s opening ceremony on Monday seemed sure of the museum’s potential in the future. “I had my doubts when I came into it,” said Jivreel Khazan, one of the original four N.C. Agricultural & Technical University students who participated in the sit-in protests, about the idea of a civil rights museum. “But Rome was not

built in a day. This is a work in progress.” Housing artifacts from a time in the U.S. when blacks weren’t allowed to eat at the same lunch counter as whites, organizers and city officials hope the museum will serve as an educational facility for students, tourists and “all of mankind,” said Franklin McCain, also one of the original four. Skip Alston, chairman of the Guilford County Board of Commissioners, and state Rep. Earl Jones, D-Guilford, led the development of the museum. McCain said the museum opened in a timely manner given the amount of time it took similar museums to open, such as the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tenn. That museum, located at the former Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, was bought by the MLK Jr. Memo-

It opened in 1991. “I don’t think this was long overdue,” said McCain at a press conference Monday. “I wasn’t concerned that people felt like it was taking an extraordinarily long time (to open the museum), because it wasn’t.” Jones expressed similar sentiments at the press conference.

“We didn’t build this museum for the decade,” he said. “We built it for the millennium.” Willie Dixon, a Greensboro resident who long has anticipated the museum’s opening, also said he expected the museum to draw tourists to the city, creating revenue and educating others about an ugly part of the

nation’s history. “I’m hoping it will bring business and tourism here,” he said. “It serves as an opportunity for kids not to have to travel so far for this kind of thing. If you weren’t actually a part of that time, it may not mean as much, but it still invokes a feeling.”

HIGH POINT – Anthony Dean Griffey, High Point’s bona fide opera star, kept his distance from his two newest Grammy Awards, announced Sunday. The wins were just as sweet as his first two Grammys, received last year. This year, however, Griffey is in Perth, Australia, performing the title role in a new production of the opera “Peter Grimes,” which has become one of his signature roles. He’ll sing the same role in the new production with the Houston Grand Opera in the fall. While in Australia, where it’s blazing hot, Griffey has been keeping up with friends largely through the Internet, and that’s how he found out about this year’s honors. He awoke very early to watch the live stream of the Grammy announcements. “I had only been watching for about 10 minutes when they announced Best Classical Album,” Griffey said via an e-mail. “It’s always exciting to be nominated and the win is like the icing on a cake. ... I’m just as excited this year.” Last year Griffey was able to attend the awards ceremony in Los Angeles and walk the red carpet. This year he celebrated by calling his mother, Joyce Griffey, in High Point. Then he called his brother and had an Internet video chat with his nephews, William and Keenan Griffey, also in High Point. The two are budding opera fans and were watching a DVD of their uncle singing when Griffey called. “It thrills my soul when they ask me to sing,” he said. Griffey will return to High Point at the middle of the month and almost immediately will resume teaching music students at The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. At the end of the month, he leaves again to perform in Italy. vknopfler@hpe.com | 888-3601

tion of attendees with badges heavily centered on the western states, most agreed that World Market Center is meeting their needs for extensive product displays and convenience. Several cited the presence of international exhibitors as critical for them to be able to make wise inventory choices to augment their inventory mix and meet the needs of their core customers. In discussing opening day attendance, Bob Maricich, president and CEO of World Market Center, indicated the fact that February 2010 buyer attendance was expected to equal the 50,000 attendees in February 2009 “shows us this is a very good sign that we are doing something right as the economy begins to turn around and as we work to meet the needs and requests of both our exhibitors and buyers.” He said he believes the positive attendance numbers stem from their efforts to expand the scope of exhibitor products to include some 184 international exhibitors this year.

Barnes wants more Tasers for deputies BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

Snowball fight Jacob Wilson, 13, (from left), Trey Bargar, 13, Steven Norvell, 13 and Bryson Bargar, 9, all from Greenville, S.C., have a snowball fight at Jackson Park in Hendersonville on Monday. Like Henderson County, the schools in Greenville County were closed for the day. The area received around 10 inches of snow from a winter storm over the weekend.

Authorities say body found Friday is missing Lexington woman were conducting an intensive joint investigation into what Grice termed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;possible homicide.â&#x20AC;? Grice said he and Lexington police have enlisted the aid of the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation for assistance with forensic aspects of the investigation. Hammondsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; body on Saturday was taken to the North Carolina Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Chapel Hill for an autopsy. There was no word Monday on the medical examinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s findings regarding Hammondsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cause of death.

Dear Newlywed: Your parents are wrong to attempt to blackmail you into sharing the list with them. That information is none of their business. I hope you stand firm, call your dentist and work out a payment plan. Dear Abby: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a 73year-old man in reasonably good health who

would like to own a dog. However, I have two concerns: A dog might outlive me, ADVICE or I might outlive the Dear dog â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which Abby would be â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; traumatic for me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d appreciate your opinion. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thinking Of Adopting in Las Vegas Dear Thinking: It is well known that pets lower levels of stress and depression. Adopting a dog could give you a new â&#x20AC;&#x153;leashâ&#x20AC;? on life because responsible pet owners must establish a regular routine and exercise their animals. However, before you take the plunge, consult your doctor about whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re healthy enough to have one, and ask a veterinarian about the care it will require and whether you should adopt an adult dog rather than a puppy. Then talk to your lawyer about ensuring that, in the event of your death, your faithful companion will be cared for until it joins you in the Great Puppy Park in the sky. Dear Abby: I am writing this as a mother of four and an operating room nurse for 30 years. Once again, I had to pull a crying mother from her child so I could take the child into the operating room.

Force: Stun guns disrupt the nervous system and cause muscles to contract. The 5-second, 50,000-volt shock causes a stunned person to â&#x20AC;&#x153;freeze up.â&#x20AC;? Many school -based officers also carry handcuffs, pepper spray, a metal baton and a .45caliber Glock pistol. Incident: A sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy used a Taser stun gun on a 15-yearold girl last year at Ragsdale High School after she threatened two faculty members and assaulted the officer, according to the Guilford County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Among our tools, the Taser is the tool less likely to produce injury,â&#x20AC;? High Point Police Chief Jim Fealy told school board members. Several school board members said that they are concerned because the weapons can be lethal. Others support the careful use of the weapon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Officers are safer because they carry the Taser,â&#x20AC;? Barnes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The decision to use it is based on the safety of the people involved.â&#x20AC;? dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Parents try to extort value of wedding gifts ear Abby: Shortly before my wedding, I decided to have my teeth fixed. The dentist quoted me a price of $4,000, which my husband and I could not afford since we were paying for our entire wedding. My parents agreed to pay the dental bill as soon as it arrived. However, there is now a â&#x20AC;&#x153;stipulation.â&#x20AC;? They are demanding the full list â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including exact dollar amounts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of what EACH of our guests gave us for wedding gifts. If I refuse, my parents now say our previous verbal agreement is worthless, and my husband can cover my dental bill. Am I wrong for not wanting to give them the dollar amount or tell them what each guest gave at our wedding? They call me at work and insist I tell them because they â&#x20AC;&#x153;mustâ&#x20AC;? know if their family and friends â&#x20AC;&#x153;disrespectedâ&#x20AC;? them. I feel that whatever people gave us is whatever they could afford, and my husband and I are very happy with the gifts we received. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Newlywed in Darien, Conn.

I understand that a child having surgery is upsetting and stressful. My own children have had to have surgical procedures done, so I know the feeling. But if I can help parents understand one thing, it would be that the child looks to the parent for support. If the mother is crying and clinging at the bedside, the message the child receives is: If Mom is that upset, something bad must be about to happen to me. No one is implying that you do not love your child or you are not worried about him or her, but it does no one any good if you have to be peeled off your child. Please send your little one off with kisses and encouraging words, and the child will be a little less frightened. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Wisconsin R.N. Dear Wisconsin R.N.: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m printing your letter verbatim. As traumatic as sending a child into surgery can be for both parent and child, the words a child needs to hear are, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be going to sleep, and when you wake up, Mommy will be right here. I love you. Now give me a kiss.â&#x20AC;? For the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake, venting for stress relief should be saved for the waiting room.

GUILFORD COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Amid controversy over the use of stun guns at the schools, Sheriff BJ Barnes wants to order more of the weapons for his deputies. Last week, Barnes joined two other law enforcement chiefs who told the Guilford County Board of Education stun guns are safe if properly used to subdue suspects and jail inmates. Patrol and detention officers carry the weapons. Barnes wants the Guilford County Board of Commissioners to approve the purchase of 10 Taser kits along with training cartridges, duty cartridges and a training suit for $24,137. Individual weapons that fit in a holster cost about $800. Barnes is not seeking additional money to buy the weapons. The item is on the commissioners consent agenda for their 5:30 p.m. Thursday meeting in the Old Courthouse in Greensboro. Commissioners usually carry planned purchases on their consent agenda and often do not discuss them. Although High Point Police have not fired a stun gun at a student at school, deputies have used the weapon four times in the last two years on school campuses.

ey Cupid, is chocolate good for your health? Since Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day is right around the corner, and those dearest to our hearts will shower us with mouth-watering sweets in the form of chocolate, it is an interesting question. There is some evidence that chocolate may improve blood pressure, benefit the heart and possibly improve mood. Research has even been published in The Journal of the American Medical Association discussing possible benefits of chocolate. Sounds good, right? The catch is, not all chocolate is equal. Chocolate is made from cacao beans, from which we get cocoa powder and cocoa butter. Cocoa powder is the solid non-fat part of the bean, and cocoa butter is the fat part of the bean. Cocoa powder has the most antioxidants. These antioxidants are nutrients that slow down or prevent damage to our bodies, and they also are found in other food, such as fruits, vegetables, beans and nuts. To get the most health benefit from antioxidants, eat more of these foods everyday. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best chocolate? Milk chocolate contains milk, fat and sugar, combined with less of the healthy cocoa powder. White chocolate is not really chocolate and contains cocoa butter, sugar and milk. Dark chocolate is the healthiest chocolate because it is packed with more of the cocoa powder and less sugar. Look for dark chocolate that is 70 percent cocoa or higher to get the most nutrients and possible health benefits. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the important rule of thumb when enjoying any indulgence: portion control. A little is good, but a lot is not. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to cancel possible health benefit by gaining extra weight from eating too much. So, enjoy your sweet treat of dark chocolate, in moderation.

What’s hair effluvium?

GARFIELD

ear Dr. Donohue: My question is about female hair loss. I have heard of and read about alopecia. During a recent doctor appointment, the term “telogen effluvium” was mentioned. No explanation was given, and no treatment was suggested. Is there a treatment? Will you please comment? – M.A.

BLONDIE

Hair growth involves three different stages. Hair in its growth stage is said to be in the anagen phase. This period lasts between two and six years. Women with a long anagen phase have the longest hair. Ninety percent to 95 percent of hair is in this stage at any given moment. The catagen phase is a short, transitional stage between anagen and telogen. The telogen phase is a resting phase, when hair growth stops. Five percent to 10 percent of hair is in this stage. In the telogen phase, the hair follicle shrinks away from the hair, and the hair falls out. About 100 hairs a day are lost – that’s normal hair loss. The telogen phase lasts two to three months, and then the lost hair is replaced by new hair. A telogen effluvium is an abnormal number of hairs that have prematurely entered the telogen phase and fallen out. It lasts six or fewer months. Some stressful event precedes this phenomenon, and the stress can be either mental or physical. Surgery, a crash diet and the birth of a child are

examples of physical stresses that usher in a telogen effluvium. The prognosis HEALTH of a telogen effluvium Dr. Paul is good. Donohue The hair ■■■ grows back without any treatment. Dear Dr. Donohue: Is there anything I can do for the brown spots on the backs of my hands? – M.R. Those spots are called age spots or liver spots, although the liver has nothing to do with them. Aging and sun exposure are their cause. They’re somewhat like giant freckles. Tretinoin cream (RetinA), mainly prescribed for acne, lightens them. Decolorizing medicines containing hydroquinone also can fade them. Solage is a liquid with both the decolorizing drug mequinol and tretinoin. Tri-Luma cream contains three active ingredients: tretinoin, hydroquinone and fluocinolone, a cortisone drug. All are prescription items. None works overnight. Doctors can remove those brown spots by freezing them off. It’s an immediate treatment. Lasers also can get rid of them. So can dermabrasion, the sandpapering of skin, often used for acne scars. These treatments are considered cosmetic procedures and might not be

covered by insurance. Dear Dr. Donohue: Will you please give me some information on Reglan? I would like to know what it’s used for and what side effects it has. – J.T Reglan (metoclopramide) speeds the passage of food through the stomach and the first parts of the small intestine. It also enables the esophageal sphincter to close more tightly. The sphincter is an encircling muscle at the bottom of the esophagus that prevents stomach acid from squirting upward into the esophagus. Reglan is used for GERD, gastroesophageal reflux disease (heartburn) because of its effect on the sphincter muscle. It’s also prescribed for gastroparesis, a stomach condition in which it takes an inordinately long time for food to pass through the stomach. This condition often is due to diabetes. It also has “off-label” uses. One is to control nausea and vomiting. Another is control of Tourette’s syndrome. Involuntary muscle contractions, facial grimacing, signs suggestive of Parkinson’s disease and grogginess are some of its possible side effects. It can raise blood pressure and have some ill effects on the liver. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Beyonce became the most decorated female on a Grammy night as she collected six trophies, including song of the year for her anthem “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It),” but it was another diva – Taylor Swift – who nabbed the top honor, album of the year, for her best-selling “Fearless.” Swift, who won a total of four awards, jumped around like the 20-yearold kid that she is when she beat out Beyonce, the Dave Matthews Band,

Lady Gaga and the Black Eyed Peas for the honor. “Oh wow – thank you Swift so much! I just hope that you know how much this means to me.... that we get to take this back to Nashville,” said Swift.

LITCHFIELD, Conn. (AP) – Rip Torn was so intoxicated when he broke into a Connecticut bank carrying a loaded gun that he thought he was h o m e , taking off his hat and boots and leaving them Torn by the door, according to court records. The 78-year-old actor was wearing the same battered boots Monday when he was arraigned on several charges after spending the weekend in a police holding cell near his hometown of Salisbury, in northwestern Connecticut. Torn, who did not enter a plea, was released on $100,000 bond a few hours later and waded through a phalanx of media to a friend’s waiting vehicle. He is expected to enter an alcohol rehabilitation center in New York as early as today, according to his attorney.

ATLANTA (AP) – Civil rights icon Joseph Lowery is in an Atlanta hospital because of respiratory problems. David Stokes, a friend of the 88Lowery year-old Lowery, says he was admitted Saturday and put in an intensive care unit as a precaution. Emory Healthcare spokesman Lance Skelly said Monday Lowery was in stable condition at Emory University Hospital Midtown. Lowery is a co-founder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and served as its president from 1977 to 1997.

Andrea Davis Pinkney and Brian Pinkney want children to know how the “Greensboro Four” helped change history in America.

Standing up Book explains to children why sit-in was important BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

REENSBORO – The impact of the Greensboro sit-in 50 years ago seems obvious enough to adults, but how do you explain its significance to children? That was the challenge facing husband-and-wife team Brian Pinkney and Andrea Davis Pinkney, creators of a new children’s book about the historic event titled “Sit-In: How Four Friends Stood Up By Sitting Down.” “The thing that was and is so intriguing about the sit-ins is that they were ignited and fueled by students,” says Andrea Davis Pinkney, who wrote the book, while her husband provided the colorful illustrations. “And I think this is so intriguing to young people, because it reminds them that even as a young person, you can take a small action that will have a very big impact. That’s what those four young men did – they took an action that was small and peaceful, but its ripple effects were farreaching.” On Wednesday, the Pinkneys will be in Greensboro – the site of the famous sit-in – to promote their book. In addition to several school appearances, they will read from and sign copies of the book at 5 p.m. Wednesday at the Greensboro Historical Museum. Admission is free and open to the public. Andrea Davis Pinkney says she tried to tell the story in a lyrical manner that will engage children. “There is a refrain in the book: ‘A doughnut and coffee, with cream on the side,’” she says. “The narrative is written in what I hope is a musical, poetic fashion that I think helps children see the power of the sit-ins.” Near the book’s end, the refrain reads: “A doughnut and coffee, with cream on the side, is not about food – it’s about pride.” “There’s also a lot of food imagery in the book, which I think makes it very accessible to children,” Pinkney says. “There’s a recipe for integration at the back of the book.” That recipe reads as follows:

1. Start with love. 2. Add conviction. 3. Season with hope. 4. Extra faith to flavor. 5. Mix black people with white people. 6. Let unity stand. 7. Fold in change. 8. Sprinkle with dignity. 9. Bake until golden. 10. Serve immediately. Makes enough for all. Pinkney points out that the book is well-researched and is entirely factual, right down to the matter of what the four young men ordered when they staged their sit-in. “This is nonfiction in every way, including that small but important detail,” she says. The book also features a number of quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., as well as a timeline of significant events from the civil rights movement. As they were creating the book, the Pinkneys – who live in New York City and are black – asked their own children if they had ever experienced racism, either by not being allowed to do something because of their color, or by having racist comments made to them. After thinking a few moments, the children replied that they had not been subjected to racism before. That, Andrea says, is a good reason for publishing books such as hers. “We need to remind them, to keep these stories alive,” she says. “Now you can go to a pizza parlor or a lunch counter or wherever you want, but we need to keep these stories alive and remind young people that they enjoy a lot of privileges and advantages which weren’t always available.”

The Cannon Foundation of Concord has made a $75,000 grant to help build a guest house for adult hospital patients and their families who travel to Winston-Salem for medical treatment. SECU Family House on the Richard J. Reynolds III and Marie M. Reynolds Campus received the grant as part of its current capital campaign. “The Cannon grant is particularly timely,” said Kathy Carr, campaign coordinator, “because it helps us meet the challenge of the recent $2 million State Employees’ Credit Union Foundation grant.” SECU Family House will be located on Hospice Lane, have at least 40 bedrooms and serve families who are referred by Forsyth Medical Center, Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home. Carr said that the SECU grant challenges the project to raise another $1.1 million toward the $6 million capital goal. So far, she said, $270,000 of the $1.1 million challenge has been raised. Overall, the campaign has received donations and pledges of $5.3 million, of which about $4.1 million is designated for capital.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

“The man’s a fruitcake,” I heard Unlucky Louie wail from the penny Chicago game. “He cost me $15!” Louie’s partner was Joe Overberry, who thinks it’s nobler to go down trying for an overtrick than to make his bid. I got the details from Ed, the club expert, who’d been West. Joe was the declarer at six hearts. “I might have led the ace of clubs,” Ed said, “but you know what can happen if you give Joe enough rope. He won my spade lead with the ace, drew trumps and led the ten of clubs. I was sure he had K-Q-10, so I ducked.

DELIGHTED “When dummy’s jack won, Joe was delighted. He discarded his K-Q of clubs on the K-Q of spades and led the king and a low diamond. If the diamonds had come in, he would have made an overtrick; but he actually had to lose two diamonds.” Only Joe could go down at six hearts when he had 12 tricks. Anyone else would have forced out the ace of clubs and claimed, winning $14.30. But Joe wasn’t content with that when he saw a chance for $14.60.

QUESTION You hold: S 5 H A J 7 6 5 D A J 9 7 C K Q 10. You open one heart, your partner responds one spade, you bid two diamonds and he tries three clubs. You bid 3NT, and partner lifts to 4NT. What do you say? ANSWER: Partner’s 4NT is not an ace-asking bid since no trump suit is agreed, even by implication. His bid is simply a raise, inviting a notrump slam. You have 15 good points when you might have held only 12 or 13, hence bid 6NT. South dealer Both sides vulnerable

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

Fisherman won’t let croc have shark SYDNEY (AP) – A group of Australian mates on an annual fishing holiday was not going to let anything come between them and their prize catch – not even a marauding crocodile. The friends landed a small shark on a beach recently in the tropical north of Australia – also home to wild saltwater crocodiles known to attack humans. As they dragged the shark ashore with the help

of a hooked pole, a croc about 6-feet (2-meters) long emerged from the water, ran up the beach to the flailing shark, and opened its jaws menacingly. Unperturbed, the fisherman holding the hook banged it down on the head of the crocodile, which turned tail and scrambled quickly back into the water. The incident was captured on video and posted on YouTube, where it gained a popular follow-

ing and attention from Australian media. “He was full on,” Bob Callan, one of the anglers told Nine Network television Friday, describing the croc’s lunge. “He was going for that shark right or wrong, then it was – bang – hit him on the snout and away he went.” After dispatching the reptile, the video shows the anglers lined up behind the shark on the beach for photos.

WHO’S NEWS

SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

GREENSBORO – When Super Bowl XLIV kicks off Sunday, the Atlantic Coast Conference will have a strong presence. No fewer than 17 players and 10 coaches on the rosters of the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints possess ties to ACC schools. The Colts have six coaches with ACC ties, led by head coach Jim Caldwell, who spent eight seasons as head coach at Wake Forest from 1993-2000. Joining Caldwell are offensive coordinator Tom Moore (offensive coordinator at Wake in 1969, backfield coach at Georgia Tech in 1970-71); assistant head coach/receivers coach Clyde Christensen (quarterback at North Carolina in 1977-78, assistant at Maryland in 1992-93 and UNC in 1994-95; special teams coordinator Ray Rychleski (assistant to Caldwell at Wake, then seven seasons at Maryland from 2001-07; assistant strength coach Richard Howell (graduate assistant strength coach at UNC in 1998-99; and quarterbacks coach Frank Reich (Maryland quarterback in 1983-84). The Colts also have six ACC players, including starters in center Jeff Saturday (UNC), wide receiver Reggie Wayne (Miami) and linebacker Philip Wheeler (Georgia Tech), as well as reserve safety Jamie Silva (Boston College). Tight end Tom Santi (Virginia) is on the Colts’ injured reserve and guard Jaime Thomas (Maryland) is on the practice squad. The Saints feature 11 players from ACC schools: tight end Jeremy Shockey (Miami), defensive linemen Anthony Hargrove (Ga. Tech) and DeMario Pressley (N.C. State), linebackers Jonathan Vilma (Miami) and Anthony Waters (Clemson), and defensive backs Pierson Prioleau (Virginia Tech) and Chris Reis (Georgia Tech). Former Miami defensive back Glenn Sharpe is on the practice squad and defensive back Chip Vaughn (Wake) and linebackers Jo-Lonn Dunbar (BC) and Stanley Arnoux (Wake) are on injured reserve. Four Saints coaches have ACC ties: offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. (BC); receiver coach Curtis Johnson (Miami); secondary coach Tony Oden (BC); and special teams’ Mike Mallory (Maryland).

Virginia guard Sylven Landesberg (center) is hugged by Mustapha Farrakhan after leaving the game with 29 points during the second half of Sunday night’s game in Chapel Hill. Virginia beat the struggling Tar Heels 75-60.

UNC needs answers BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

CHAPEL HILL – After North Carolina’s 75-60 loss to Virginia at the Smith Center on Sunday, coach Roy Williams had to stop and collect himself a few times during his postgame news conference. The Cavaliers’ first win in Chapel Hill since Jan. 12, 2002, gave the Tar Heels a 2-5 record in the month of January and put UNC 10th in the ACC standings. “How can we go any lower?” Williams said. “I mean, be honest: How can it be any worse than it is right now?” UNC (13-8, 2-4) seemed to be back on track after beating N.C. State in Raleigh to end a three-game losing streak, but now it looks like the Tar Heels are in jeopardy of missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 2002-03 season. UNC needs to win at least five of its remaining 10 ACC games to have a shot at making the Tournament, and six of those games are on the road. Sophomore Larry Drew II said the Tar Heels are not playing like

an NCAA Tournament team right now, but he thinks the potential still is there and the team is not going to give up. “I think it’s clear that we took a step back from when we played against State,” Drew said. “It’s just frustrating. It’s like we’re taking one step forward and making three steps back. We take another step and make two more steps back.” Williams took most of the blame after the loss to Virginia, saying he has gotten “dumber” the past six months and is not coaching well. The Tar Heels turned the ball over 17 times against the Cavs and allowed them to shoot 51.9 percent from the floor compared to UNC’s 35.7 percent. “We’re not playing very well right now, so I’ve got to do a better job,” Williams said. “Things that I’ve always done my entire life are not working with this group, so I’ve got to find something different to do.” Seniors Deon Thompson and Marcus Ginyard, who appeared just as despondent as their coach after the game, said they never have seen Williams like this before. Ginyard said Williams is equal parts angry, upset,

disappointed and perplexed. “He tries to put a lot on himself, but it’s not him at all,” Thompson said. “He wouldn’t be in the Hall of Fame and have such a record that he has if what he teaches wasn’t true. It’s us, and we have to make a change and buy into what he’s trying to teach us.” Thompson said the players need to care more, and Drew said the heart is missing from the team right now. Everyone also agreed that the practices leading up to the Virginia game did not have the same intensity as the workouts before the N.C. State game, and that lack of focus translated onto the court. And this isn’t the first time the Tar Heels have talked about their lack of focus this season. “I’m pretty sure Coach will be up all night trying to figure out what is next,” Thompson said after the game. “I’ll be up all night trying to think what is next. I’ve got four more home games. … I really don’t know what is next.” bgorman@heraldsun.com | 919-419-6668

Bad knee halts CP3 NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Hornets’ All-Star point guard Chris Paul is out indefinitely with a left knee injury that will likely require surgery. An MRI revealed more damage to the knee than the initial diagnosis of a bruise, Hornets coach Jeff Bower said Monday. The coach refused, however, to confirm reports that Paul had a meniscus tear and would miss a month. “We’re in fact-finding stages right now, gathering as much information as possible for decisions to be made to take the next AP steps,” Bower said. “It is Former Wake Forest star Chris Paul, seen here reacting likely there will be a surto a foul call Friday against Chicago, is expected to miss gical solution for it. We don’t have a timetable (for serious time for New Orleans with a knee injury.

Paul’s return) right now, nor do we know a surgical procedure right now.” Paul watched the Hornets’ shootaround on Monday but was unavailable to reporters. He first hurt his knee in a game at Golden State on Wednesday. He struck the same spot against a camera when he went out of bounds near the end of regulation against Chicago on Friday and missed the Hornets’ game at Memphis on Saturday. Yahoo! Sports, citing unidentified sources close to Paul, reported that test results showed a partially torn meniscus and that he would miss one to two months.

HIT AND RUN

ith a little less than a month remaining in the Big South Conference men’s regular season, things are shaping up for a wild and crazy dash to the finish line. No fewer than seven teams are separated by 31⁄2 games in a jumbled top portion of the standings. Gardner-Webb (3-8), VMI (2-8) and Presbyterian (2-9) are the only teams unlikely to figure in the chase down the stretch. Coastal Carolina (19-4, 9-2) looks like the fa-

vorite to earn the top seed in the conference tournament, but the Chanticleers took a step back with Saturday’s 67-64 loss to Winthrop. From there, it’s anybody’s guess. Radford, Winthrop and UNC Asheville currently share second in the Big South at 7-4, with Liberty next at 6-4. High Point (6-5) and Charleston Southern (5-6) remain in the conversation for a topfour league tournament seed with a strong finishing kick.

The top four teams in the league standings earn the right to host a first-round tournament game, and that’s a nice way to start conference postseason play with a bid to the NCAA Tournament on the line. This kind of competitive balance is the stuff that conference commissioners dream about – and it’s not too shabby for basketball fans, either.

The Charlotte Bobcats’ Larry Brown was selected Monday by the NBA as Eastern Conference Coach of the Month for January. The honor is Brown’s ninth and the first for a Bobcats coach. Denver’s George Karl won the award for the West. Brown led the Bobcats to a 12-4 record for the month, breaking the franchise record of nine wins in a month and equaling the team’s win total of 12 entering January. The 12-4 record was the third best in the NBA for the month behind only Cleveland and Denver, who were each 12-3. The Bobcats tied a franchise record with six straight wins from Jan. 9-20 and set a new franchise record with nine straight home wins from Dec. 22-Jan. 20, topping the previous high of five straight. The team was 5-3 on the road in January after entering the month 1-14 away from home. The Bobcats entered Monday’s late game at Portland with a record of 24-22, marking just the fourth time in franchise history that the team has been two games above .500. The 24-22 record is the latest into a season the team has ever been above .500. Prior to this season, the latest was 6-5 in 2007-08.

In this Dec. 12, 1999, file photo, Saints fans dressed in paper bags watch the game against the St. Louis Rams in New Orleans. The long-suffering fans hid their faces due to the Saints’ 2-11 record and a history of futility dating to the 1960s and ‘70s.

From humble beginnings ... FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) – They were an odd aggregation, a collection of misfits, nomads and newcomers eager to show off football, New Orleans-style. Those early Saints of the late 1960s and ’70s didn’t win a lot. No more than a little, actually. But give them credit: They sure jazzed up the NFL long before reaching the Super Bowl. A trumpet great blew “Charge!” calls from a bandstand at the 50yard line. Fans dressed in starched white shirts and ties. Oh, and the ostrich races. Such fun names, too. Jubilee Dunbar scored, Happy Feller kicked and Wimpy Winther blocked. “Those were crazy days,” recalled Dunbar, aka Allen Dunbar. “They were searching for themselves back then. We knew that one day it would get better.” The franchise long known for losing actually got off to the greatest start in league history. In the Saints’ very first game, they returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown. A few years later, a kicker born without toes on his right foot booted a record field goal. “We weren’t the greatest football team in the world,” said Tom Dempsey, who made that gamewinning 63-yarder with a specially made black shoe shortened to accommodate his foot. “There were a lot of big plays, but just not enough of them.” For a while, Dempsey was an-

noyed with all the attention he attracted. “It used to bother me a bit. I wanted to be known as a good kicker, more than for one kick,” he said. “But I found out that if you’re going to set a record, there’s only one place to set it in – New Orleans! “It was a love affair between the city and the Saints from Day One,” he said. “When we’d win on the road, the fans would be out on the runway at the airport to greet us. Now, I have my daughter and grandson carry on the tradition.” Dempsey still lives in the area, and the first floor of his town house was flooded by Hurricane Katrina. On Sunday, he’ll be at home rooting hard for his old team when the Saints go to their first Super Bowl and play the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts are led by MVP Peyton Manning. In a neat twist, it was his father, Archie, who for years was the very symbol of the Saints’ futility, the quarterback who was always on the run. It took a while for the Saints to scramble this far. The NFL officially welcomed them to the league on All Saints Day in late 1966, with famed trumpeter Al Hirt as part owner. They went more than two decades before managing a winning season and waited another dozen-plus years for their first playoff victory. New Orleans heads into Sunday’s Super Bowl with an all-time record of 275-378-5, not counting playoffs.

Even if the Saints made the playoffs for the next 25 years in a row by going 10-6 each season, they’d still be a below-.500 franchise. Things got so bad that in 1980 a popular local broadcaster urged people to show up at the Superdome with brown paper bags over their heads. As in, fans were embarrassed to be seen at the stadium. That day, the “Aints” took hold. “That was tough – knowing you’re out there giving your all and coming up short,” Tony Galbreath, among the team’s top runners and receivers that year, said Monday. “You couldn’t go anywhere – McDonald’s, Walmart, anywhere – without hearing it.” Danny Abramowicz was a New Orleans rookie in 1967 and quickly established himself as a sure-handed pass catcher. He played several years with the Saints, coached for them and was on their broadcast team. “It didn’t take much to excite those fans, even when we weren’t winning. I think half of them were oiled up at the games, and they loved the Saints,” he said. “I’ll tell you what I remember: the halftime shows. They were like Super Bowl spectaculars. Bands and balloons and ostrich races, everything. We hated to go to the locker room because we’d miss them,” he said. “I once came back onto the field to warm up and a Roman chariot almost ran me over. Those were wild days.”

Colts fret over Freeney THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE NFL NOTEBOOK: FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Coach Jim Caldwell says the Colts are preparing to play without defensive end Dwight Freeney in the Super Bowl, though he remains hopeful the All-Pro defensive end will suit up for the game. Freeney’s sprained right ankle kept him out of practice most of last week. He was already in Florida when the team held its final workout of the season in Indy on Sunday. Caldwell says Freeney has healed quickly from injuries in the past. However, he said the team is working on a rotation that would be used if Freeney doesn’t play.

CBS SELLS LAST SUPER BOWL ADS LOS ANGELES – CBS Corp. said it sold out of ads for the Super Bowl on Monday at average prices that are better than last year, with some 30-second spots topping $3 million apiece. CBS said the final spot sold Monday morning, six days before kickoff. That’s a few days ahead of schedule. Last year, NBC still had two 30-second spots remaining two days before the game as the econo-

my was mired in a recession, and announced only on the eve of the game that it sold out 69 spots.

STARS WATCH AFC BEAT NFC, 41-34 MIAMI – Peyton Manning and Drew Brees watched from the sideline, awaiting a bigger stage in another week. The Pro Bowl had plenty of offense without them. In its new role as a warmup to the Super Bowl, the Pro Bowl nearly overheated the scoreboard, with the AFC outscoring the NFC 41-34 Sunday night. Seven Colts and seven Saints were among the crowd of 70,697 that was the largest for a Pro Bowl since 1959 in Los Angeles. Manning and Brees shook hands at halftime. Matt Schaub of the Houston Texans threw for 189 yards and two AFC scores, and was chosen the most valuable player. He started the game and returned to lead a 76yard drive for the winning touchdown in the fourth quarter. Aaron Rodgers also threw two touchdown passes, and NFC teammate DeSean Jackson had two scoring catches. Nearly 40 percent of the players originally selected for the game didn’t play. One of the AFC re-

WIFE OF EX-COWBOYS’ STAR DIES BURLESON, Texas – The wife of former Dallas Cowboys tight end Jay Novacek has been found dead in a home. Police in the Fort Worth suburb responded to a call of a possible suicide Monday. The Tarrant County medical examiner identified the woman as 45-year-old LeAnne Novacek. Authorities haven’t said how she died but are investigating.

erry Labonte won’t be participating in Saturday night’s Shootout at Daytona even though he is among the drivers eligible. Labonte scoffed Monday at an internet report that said the CarterSimo team was looking for sponsorship so that it could field a car for Labonte in the Shootout. Labonte drove CarterSimo’s No. 08 in selected races last year. “I’m not going to Daytona for the Shootout or the Daytona 500,” Labonte said by telephone. “I don’t know where that guy came up with that about the Shootout. I haven’t talked to (the Carter-Simo team) since I drove for them at Homestead at the end of last season.” Labonte said he is still trying to put together the funding so he can drive in five to 10 races this season. The cars would be owned by Labonte and former car owner Bill Stavola. “We’re not close to having anything right now,” Labonte said. “We’ve had some companies show interest. It’s just hard to get sponsors right now. Everyone is staying on the fence because the way the economy is.” Stavola and his brother Mickey, now deceased, fielded cars in the Cup Series from 1984-88. Bobby Allison, Bobby Hillin Jr., Dick Trickle, Mike Alexander, Rick Wilson, Sterling Marlin, Jeff Burton and Hut Stricklin were among their drivers. Labonte said he did turn down some offers to drive in the Daytona 500. “I just didn’t think it would be right to drive for them if I was going to turn around and drive my own cars later in the season,” Labonte said.

NEW ALLIANCE Furniture Row Motorsports, which fields the No. 78 Chevrolets driven by Regan Smith, has formed a technical and engineering alliance with Richard Childress Racing. The deal includes Furniture Row getting the points earned last season by RCR’s No. 07 team, which folded because of lack of sponsorship. The 07 finished 21st in points last year, which assures Furniture Row a starting spot in the first five races. Furniture Row has also increased its number of employees from 40 to 60 and hired a new crew chief, car chief and competition director.

SPARK PLUGS Front Row Motorsports announced Monday that John Andretti will drive

its No. 34 Ford in the Daytona 500. Travis Kvapil, who was announced as driver of SPORTS the No. 34, will slide Greer over to the Smith team’s No. ■■■ 37 while rookie Kevin Conway goes to the sidelines. Robert Richardson was previously announced as driver of the team’s No. 38 at Daytona. For most of the season beginning with a Feb. 21 race at Auto Club Speedway in California, Kvapil will return to the No. 34, Conway goes into the No. 37 and David Gilliland takes over in the No. 38. Boris Said will start the season in the No. 26 Fords that Vermont businessman Bill Jenkins bought from Jack Roush. ... Cup driver Joey Logano won NASCAR’s short-track shootout in California on Saturday night. The event was originally designed to be a winter showcase for drivers from the East and West Series. NASCAR Southern Modified Tour champion George Brunnhoelzl III crashed ... Brad Neat got off to a good start for Bobby Labonte Racing’s dirt-track team last week. He captured one pole and finished in the top-five twice in three races at Golden Isle Speedway near Brunswick, Ga. Earl Pearson, starting his fourth season for Labonte, finished in the top 10 in all three races. They now head for four nights of racing Wednesday through Saturday at East Bay Raceway near Tampa. Bobby Labonte did not fare as well in the 24 hours of Daytona. He was one of the drivers of a Porsche that finished 17th overall and ninth in the GT category. The team contended for the GT lead until the car’s clutch went out with about three hours to go. The number of teams that will have guaranteed starting berths based on owners points in NASCAR Truck races has been reduced from 30 to 25. Starting fields for Truck races are a maximum of 36 trucks, with past champions given priority for the 36th spot before it is filled by qualifying speed. NASCAR officials said the change was made to put the number of spots available by qualifying at approximately the same percentage as the 13 positions available in the 43-car fields for Nationwide races. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Massa strong in F1 return VALENCIA, Spain (AP) – Ferrari driver Felipe Massa returned Monday to a competitive Formula One car for the first time since a life-threatening crash last summer and promptly set the fastest time in the season’s debut test session. Massa led the seven-car field with a best lap time of 1 minute, 12.574 seconds from 102 laps at Valencia’s Cheste Circuit. Massa said he felt “zero afraid” as he returned for the first time since undergoing lifesaving surgery following a freak crash at the Hungarian Grand Prix in August.

Manufacturing numbers show promise NEW YORK (AP) — Hopes that America’s factories will help drive the economic recovery drew support Monday from news that manufacturing activity grew for a sixth straight month in January, to its strongest point since 2004. Other data, though, offered a reminder that the recovery lacks strength. Construction spending dropped sharply in December to its lowest level in more than six years. And gains in personal income and spending were too modest in December to signal that consumers can fuel a strong rebound. Manufacturing activity has become a pocket of

strength for the economy, though some of it flows from temporary factors such as customers needing to add to depleted stockpiles of goods. The Institute for Supply Management said its manufacturing index read 58.4 in January, compared with 54.9 in December. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had expected a level of 55.5. A reading above 50 indicates growth. New orders, a sign of future growth, jumped to 65.9 in January, the highest level since 2004, from 64.8 in December. Current production surged to 66.2 from 59.7, also to its peak since 2004. Order backlogs grew, and prices that companies paid rose.

Thirteen of 18 industries said they were expanding, led by the apparel, textile mills and machinery sectors. Manufacturers have been pumping up production to feed their customers’ depleted stockpiles. The ISM said manufacturers’ inventories contracted at a slower rate in January, but their customers’ stockpiles fell to an all-time low. As their customers try to restock their shelves, manufacturers need to ramp up production to match their demands. That could mean hiring more workers, which would help invigorate the economic rebound. ISM’s employment measure grew last month.

“Production growth is finally beginning to tax existing work forces to the point where companies need to expand employment, and, critically, have enough confidence to do so,” said Pierre Ellis of Decision Economics. Last month, Oracle Corp. CEO Larry Ellison said the software company is hiring 2,000 people in the next few months in order to improve sales at Sun Microsystems, which it just acquired for $7.4 billion. At the same time, though, Oracle will fire about 1,000 people. AK Steel Holding Corp. said in January that it had hired some new employees as production improved to about 85 percent of capacity.

Eagle may face $2.5 million penalty DALLAS – Federal regulators are proposing a penalty of nearly $2.5 million against a sister carrier of American Airlines for not making sure crews had accurate information about the weight of baggage on dozens of flights. The Federal Aviation Administration announced the penalty Monday against AMR Corp.’s American Eagle. Incorrect takeoff weights are considered a safety hazard if pilots rely on faulty information when determining the right speed for takeoff and landing.

Oil rises on Nigerian attacks, weather NEW YORK – After trading lower since hitting a 15-month high last month, oil prices bounced back above $73 per barrel Monday. Analysts blamed the jump on a variety of factors, including attacks on an oil pipeline in Nigeria, persistently cold weather in the U.S. Northeast and a stronger stock market. At midday, Benchmark crude for March delivery rose 88 cents to $73.77 a barrel in trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Short-term Treasury bills rise in auction WASHINGTON – Interest rates on short-term Treasury bills rose in Monday’s auction to their highest rates in a month. The Treasury Department auctioned $23 billion in three-month bills at a discount rate of 0.095 percent, up from 0.055 percent last week. Another $26 billion in six-month bills was auctioned at a discount rate of 0.165 percent, up from 0.135 percent last week. The three-month rate was the highest since these bills averaged 0.11 percent on Dec. 28. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Exxon profit hits 8-year low NEW YORK (AP) — Exxon Mobil’s earnings were cut by more than half to $19.3 billion in 2009, the lowest total in seven years, as company refineries struggled with a plunge in fuel consumption around the world. But the world’s largest publicly traded oil company remains the profit champ among U.S. public companies. Wal-Mart is expected to earn $14 billion for the year ended

Jan. 31, and Microsoft earned $14.6 billion in the fiscal year ended in June 2009. Exxon’s results have swung with the price of oil and the impact of the global recession. When oil spiked above $147 a barrel in mid-2008, Exxon set ever-higher marks for earnings by a U.S. company. Then oil prices plummeted, and Exxon suffered a yearlong hangover that

included its smallest quarterly earnings in several years. The Irving, Texas company finished 2009 with a 23 percent decline in fourth-quarter income. Exxon earned $6.05 billion, or $1.27 a share, for the final three months of the year. That compares with $7.82 billion, or $1.54 a share, a year earlier. Revenue increased 6 percent to $89.8 billion.

Toyota begins shipping new parts WASHINGTON (AP) — Toyota Motor Corp. said Monday its dealers should get parts to fix a sticky gas pedal problem by the end of this week as the automaker apologized to customers and tried to bring an end to a recall that has affected 4.2 million vehicles worldwide. The company said in a statement that it has begun shipping parts and is training dealers on the

repairs. Some dealers will stay open around the clock to fix the 2.3 million cars and trucks affected by the recall in the U.S. Technical bulletins on how to install the new parts should arrive at dealers by midweek, the company told dealers in an e-mail. It was not clear exactly when repairs would start, although dealers have said they’ll begin as soon as possible.

The automaker also said Monday it would suspend production of eight U.S. models affected by the recall this week, with factories restarting on Feb. 8. Toyota suspended sales of the models last week, but spokesman Mike Michels said dealers can begin selling the cars as soon they are fixed. However, cars already on the road will be the dealers’ first priority, he said in an e-mail.

Stocks climb on positive reports

NEW YORK (AP) – Encouraging economic reports lifted stocks Monday and bolstered hopes that the recovery is in better shape than many had believed. Energy stocks led the market higher following a strong earnings report from Exxon Mobil Corp. Gains in manufacturing and personal incomes helped shore up the market’s sentiment after three

straight losing weeks that left stocks with a loss for January. Investors were already becoming more optimistic thanks to news on Friday that the economy grew at the fastest pace in six years in the final three months of 2009. The strongest piece of economic news came from the Institute for Supply Management, which said its index of U.S. manufacturing activity grew for

a sixth straight month in January to the strongest level since August 2004. The trade group said factories increased production as customers replenished inventories. The Dow rose 118.20, or 1.2 percent, to 10,185.53. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 15.32, or 1.4 percent, to 1,089.19. The Nasdaq composite index rose 23.85, or 1.1 percent, to 2,171.20.

Humana profit soars LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – Health insurer Humana Inc. posted a 44 percent jump in fourth-quarter profit Monday as its continued robust Medicare Advantage business drove sharply higher government income, offsetting a slumping commercial segment dragged by the sluggish economy. Louisville-based Humana also raised its earnings projection for 2010 to a range of $5.15 to $5.35 per share, up from its previous estimate of $5.05 to $5.25. The higher guidance mainly reflects a temporary contract extension in the Southern U.S. to administer Tricare benefits to some active-duty soldiers and their depen-

dents, along with retired service members and their families, the company said. Analysts expect a higher profit of $5.40 per share for the year. Humana said its fourth-quarter profit rose as expenses related to prescription drug plans declined. The company’s pivotal government segment posted pretax income of $452.3 million in the fourth quarter, up from $267.3 million a year ago. The increase was mainly due to lower claims expenses in its Medicare prescription drug plans, higher Medicare Advantage membership and higher net investment income.

GM delays Hummer sale plans DETROIT (AP) – General Motors’ plan to sell the Hummer brand to a Chinese heavy equipment maker has been delayed by a month. General Motors Co. and Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Corp. said Monday they are extending the deadline to complete the

transaction until Feb. 28 pending final approval by the Chinese government. The previous deadline was Jan. 31 for a definitive agreement to sell the brand once synonymous with America’s love for big off-road vehicles. Hummer spokesman Nick Richards said the deal has cleared U.S. reg-

ulatory hurdles. He said both companies are “optimistic the deal will be completed” by month’s end. Sichuan Tengzhong says it’s cooperating with the approval process. GM is selling Hummer to focus on core brands Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC.

(AP) – Parts of a sprawling South Dakota reservation still were without water and electricity Monday, nearly two weeks after winter storms toppled power lines, caused water pipes to freeze and burst, and forced more than a dozen residents on kidney dialysis to seek treatment at another reservation.

A fierce ice storm hit the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation Jan. 20, coating roads and electrical lines and forcing shops and schools to close. Before residents could recover from the ice, a blizzard tore through the Dakotas, bringing a few inches of snow. Several shelters and distribution centers

were set up around the reservation, and an 8 p.m. curfew was imposed after some looting took place last week. At the height of the outages, about 14,000 people in the region were without water – most of them on the impoverished reservation that covers an area larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined.

UN officials say nations’ greenhouse gas pledges are too little UNITED NATIONS (AP) – Goals on reducing greenhouse gases announced by major industrialized nations are a step forward but not enough to forestall the disastrous effects of climate change by midcentury, U.N. officials said Monday. Janos Pasztor, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s top climate adviser, said the goals, submitted to the U.N. as part of a

voluntary plan to roll back emissions, make it highly unlikely the world can prevent temperatures from rising above the target set at the Copenhagen climate conference in December. Fifty-five nations – including China, the United States and 27-member European Union – met a Jan. 31 deadline to submit pledges to the U.N. for cutting those emissions.
