Yow considers run for Congress against Coble BY DAVID NIVENS AND PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITERS

TRIAD – Republican Guilford County Commissioner Billy Yow confirmed Wednesday that he likely will enter the GOP primary for the 6th Congressional District seat held by veteran U.S. Rep. Howard Coble. Yow, who defeated two GOP primary opponents to win the District 5 commissioner’s seat in 2008, said

Coble

Yow

he will make his decision this week. Yow had no Democratic opponent in his 2008 commissioner’s race. The mostly rural District 5 covers the southeastern

part of the county and spreads into Jamestown. If he doesn’t win the 6th District race this year, Yow can retain his commissioner’s seat, which won’t go before the voters until 2012. “I think I bring a lot to this race (for Congress),” Yow told The High Point Enterprise Wednesday. “We need common sense in Congress. I think I can represent the district well.” Yow, 44, is owner of D&Y

Well Drilling, a water-well and septic-tank installation business. Coble, who hasn’t confronted a Republican primary challenge since his first election to Congress in 1984, now faces the possibility of three primary opponents this year. James Taylor of Pinehurst already has filed, and Cathy Brewer Hinson of High Point has announced her intention to run. Coble has won comfort-

ably in general election campaigns dating back to the early 1990s against Democratic and Libertarian challengers. The 6th District, which has the highest concentration of Republican voters among the 13 congressional districts in North Carolina, reaches across Rowan, Davidson, Randolph, Moore, Guilford and Alamance counties. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528 dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

HIGH POINT – Is Robert Demetrius Williams mentally incompetent to stand trial for first-degree murder for his alleged role in a fatal shooting more than five years ago or is he faking psychotic episodes to avoid facing justice? Attorneys on both sides of the case presented starkly different portraits of the 21-year-old in a High Point courtroom Wednesday, as a judge heard three motions from Willams’ attorney, Barry Snyder of Greensboro, who asked for a court-appointed expert to help determine whether Williams understands the nature of the charges against him and can assist in his defense. Williams, one of six people from Bennettsville, S.C., charged and the first to stand trial in the Oct. 22, 2004 death of Anthony Briggman Jr. at 707 Hines St. in an apparent drug-related robbery that went bad, is being treated at a South Carolina mental health facility. Snyder said Williams’ behavior included an instance in

Locals try to bridge stimulus gap BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The Interstate 85 bridge over the Yadkin River will be replaced, but not in the way that many Davidson County and state officials had hoped. The N.C. Department of Transportation received notification from federal transportation officials Wednesday that the state has been awarded $10 million in stimulus funding for the $300 million project. The project, which now will be divided into two phases, was intended to replace the bridge and widen about six miles of highway in Rowan and Davidson counties from four to eight lanes. State and Davidson County officials had hoped the project would be funded primarily by stimulus funding. Pat Ivey, a N.C. Department of Transportation

In this photo taken in June 2009, traffic flows across the Interstate 85 bridge over the Yadkin River. division engineer out of Winston-Salem, said the first phase of the project – the replacement of the Interstate 85 bridge over the Yadkin River and the widening of three miles of highway from Long Ferry Road in Rowan County to N.C. 150 in Davidson County – would cost $150 million. Ivey said state transportation officials will use $10 million in stimulus

funding and $140 million in Garvee Bonds, which is federal money the state will have to pay back over a 12-year period. “We certainly wish we would have got more than $10 million, but we are certainly happy that we did get $10 million,” Ivey said. Having traveled to Raleigh and Washington several times in attempts to obtain federal

funding for the project, Max Walser, chairman of the Davidson County Board of Commissioners, wasn’t pleased about the state receiving just the $10 million of stimulus funding. “All any of us have ever heard is that it would take $300 to $350 million minimum to build the bridge,” Walser said. “... We are still going to end up having to pay that bond money back in 12 years ... I’m very disappointed, but I think it is the central issue and that this is not a Davidson County/Rowan County/North Carolina bridge. This is an interstate bridge, and we ought not to be having to do it this way.” Chrissy Pearson, a spokeswoman in Gov. Beverly Perdue’s office, said it was “frustrating” for the governor’s office to find out that North Carolina had received only $10 million in stimulus funding.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

“Even if Washington does not understand the importance of this corridor to interstate commerce and to travel within the state, the Perdue administration does understand it, and the DOT has worked to make sure there is a Plan B in place in case this happened,” Pearson said. “It’s very important to make sure at least phase one gets started and started soon.” The DOT will start taking bids in April from design-build firms for the first phase of the project, which is expected to be completed in three years, Ivey said. There is no funding for the second phase of the project. The second phase, which would also cost $150 million, would widen Interstate 85 from N.C. 150 to the Interstate 85 Business Loop split from four to eight lanes. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

CVB sales continue decline BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The High Point Convention and Visitor’s Bureau experienced some gains and some losses at its monthly meeting Wednesday when it reported another decline in sales, the resignation of its chairman and the appointment of a new chairman. Sales for the bureau declined 17 percent in November, according to its financial report. Year to date, the CVB’s revenue from the hotel room occupancy tax is down 15 percent at $689,978 compared to $812,722 at the same time last year. Sales have declined every month in its fiscal year, according to sales receipts from May to November. “I wish I could stop singing the same song,” said Chris Greene, CVB treasurer, who delivered the finance report. “We offer our heart-

felt appreciation for the (CVB) staff’s constant juggling of our budget expenses.” Sales manager Marva Wells said the CVB issued nine leads in January, including one lead brought to the bureau via the Bring It Home, High Point campaign for the High Point Home and Garden Design Exposition. The campaign is a new promotional tool that encourages High Point residents to issue leads for conventions and expositions that could be brought to the city. “We’re beginning to see the campaign working for us,” Wells said. She added that January was a busy month for the bureau when it serviced six conventions in the city. “Two of those shows were trade shows at Showplace,” she said. “Some of those folks came from in from out of town, some came in locally. But it was just busy.”

Wells also said the CVB secured for the first time the Piedmont Chapter of Women’s Construction conference in April 2012. Chairman Chris Adams resigned his position at the end of the meeting due to a job offer in Greensboro, and the CVB appointed Jim Morgan as its new chairman. Adams previously managed the Ashford Suites hotel in High Point. “I was presented with an offer with a Greensboro-based hotel.. ” he said. “It’s an opportunity to step up and allow my career to progress.” “It seems to me our real responsibility is to look after our budget,” said Morgan after accepting the new position. “But our real goal in going forward should be to fill up our restaurants and fill up our hotels and our city.”

Gary Bartlett’s comments came after state Republican Party Chairman Tom Fetzer held a news conference to announce he had asked the board to expand its probe of The Bev Perdue Committee to examine more contributions she received during her successful 2008 campaign.

Fetzer also wants the board to treat 31 private flights that Perdue’s campaign disclosed over the past six months in a similar manner to the dozens of unreported campaign flights for former Gov. Mike Easley made public during a board hearing. The board fined Easley’s

campaign $100,000 in October for those flights. “There is an established pattern of questionable behavior from the Perdue Committee – behavior shockingly similar to that of the Easley Committee – and that behavior warrants investigation,” Fetzer said.

which he ate his own feces at the High Point jail last year. “If he takes the stand, he could lapse into talking about his religion, being a king snake and having 20 wives – just nonsense,” Snyder said, adding that he finds Williams to be rational if he maintains his medication regimen. Assistant District Attorney Jordan Green said Williams’ case had been delayed several times since his 2006 arrest at the request of the defense, including in October 2009 when Williams appeared in court the day his trial was scheduled to begin and told a judge he was “hearing voices.” He was committed to a state hospital for 16 days, where staff diagnosed him as malingering, Green said. “The symptoms (Snyder) described are easily contrived and go perfectly with a diagnosis of malingering,” Green said. “The state would contend he made up a psychotic episode to avoid going to trial. ... He’s not incompetent. We oppose dragging this out at a further waste of time and money.” Green said recordings

Green countered that Williams had refused to cooperate with a previous investigator and characterized Snyder’s attempt to have another one appointed as wasteful and an effort to “find a mythical alibi.” Snyder said the investigator would look into all possible avenues for a defense, including an alibi. “I’m told (Williams) wasn’t at the place where the crime occurred,” he said.

Trooper: Car was traveling 90 mph before fatal crash MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

GREENSBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The driver in a Browns Summit crash that killed three people Saturday night is believed to have been driving 90 mph when she lost control, according to the Highway Patrol. An initial crash investigation indicates Amanda Sperduti, 20, was driving a 2008 Acura an estimated 90 mph on Fairgrove Church Road when she hit a tree near N.C. 150 just before 11 p.m. Saturday, said Trooper T.A. Mann. The speed limit for that stretch of road is drops from 55 to 45 miles per hour near the curve where the tree stands. The crash killed Scott Bedwell, 23; Sascha Hoffmann, 18; and Taylor Mc-

Caskill, passengers in the car. Sperduti was transported to Moses Cone Hospital and Mann said she remained there to his knowledge. Sperduti has been charged with driving while impaired in connection with the crash and a meeting will be held with the Guilford County District Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office this week to determine further charges. Mann said that a reconstruction of the crash is planned this week and that officers with Alcohol Law Enforcement are working to determine the source of the alcohol. Hoffman was the only passenger wearing a seat belt, according the Highway Patrol. All four passengers were ejected or partially ejected from the vehicle.

DAVIDSON COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Davidson County man faces sexual assault charges after an investigation by sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s officials. Detectives with the Davidson County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office began investigating a reported assault to a family member of the suspect on Feb. 5. The victim alleged that during October and November 2009, the suspect raped her and committed other assaults against her on separate occasions, according to the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. On Feb. 10, warrants were issued against Jeffrey Lynn Roberts charging him with two counts of second-degree rape, two counts of seconddegree sexual offense and one count of indecent liberties with a child, which is a felony, according to the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. Detectives were notified at that time that Roberts had fled the county. Roberts, 45, of Shoreline Drive, Lexington, turned himself in to deputies at the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office in Lexington on Monday at 8:20 p.m., authorities said. Investigators did not release details about the charges against Roberts. The location of the alleged assaults was listed as Shoreline Drive but documents did not specify whether the incidents are thought to have occurred at his residence. He was served with the arrest warrants and processed without incident. He was jailed under a $500,000 bond. Roberts has an appearance scheduled for March 8 in Davidson County District Court. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

TOYOTA CRISIS: U.S. to investigate Corollas over power steering. 6D

Afghan militants rely on human shields MARJAH, Afghanistan – Taliban fighters holding out in Marjah are increasingly using civilians as human shields, firing from compounds where U.S. and Afghan forces can clearly see women and children on rooftops or in windows, U.S. troops said Wednesday. It is part of a Taliban effort to exploit strict NATO rules against endangering innocent lives to impede the allied advance through the town in Helmand province, 360 miles southwest of Kabul.

Pakistan confirms arrest of Taliban’s No. 2 ISLAMABAD – Pakistan confirmed for the first time Wednesday that it has the Afghan Taliban’s No. 2 leader, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, in custody and officials said he was providing useful intelligence that was being shared with the United States. The confirmation came as the Pakistani government defused a political crisis that threatened to distract from the fight against militancy by backing off on judicial appointments opposed by the Supreme Court.

’Dead’ woman moves arm at funeral home BOGOTA, Colombia – A Colombian woman declared dead of a heart attack moved one of her arms just as an undertaker was about to embalm her, doctors said Wednesday. Noelia Serna, 45, was rushed to a hospital in the city of Cali, where she was in critical condition in an intensive care unit Wednesday, said hospital director Luis Fernando Rendon. “Her chances of survival are slim,” Rendon said.

McQueen hanged himself in London apartment LONDON – A bereaved Alexander McQueen left a note, then hanged himself in his apartment on the eve of his mother’s funeral, a coroner’s inquest said Wednesday, giving the cause of the fashion designer’s death as asphyxiation and hanging. The inquest has yet to formally deliver a ruling of suicide, but police said there were no suspicious circumstances. Coroner’s official Lynda Martindill told the inquest at Westminster Coroner’s Court that the body of 40-year-old McQueen was found in an armoire.

Judge frees 8 of 10 missionaries PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – Eight American missionaries were freed from a Haitian jail Wednesday, nearly three weeks after being charged with child kidnapping for trying to take a group of children out of the quake-stricken country. The eight – looking bedraggled

and sweat-soaked – walked out of the Haitian jail escorted by US diplomats just after dusk. Hours earlier, judge Bernard Saint-Vil told The Associated Press that eight of the 10 missionaries were free to leave without bail or other conditions after parents

testified they voluntarily handed their children over to the missionaries. “The parents of the kids made statements proving that they can be released,” he said, adding that he still wants to question the group’s leader and her nanny.

Top cleric urges Iraqis to turn out for March vote BAGHDAD (AP) – Iraq’s top Shiite cleric urged voters Wednesday to turn out for parliamentary elections set for March 7 but distanced himself from

any particular coalition. Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani warned that failure to participate in the election would allow others to achieve “illegit-

imate goals.” He did not say who he was referring to or what their goals may be. The Iranian-born al-Sistani has quietly guided

Iraq’s young democracy since the 2003 overthrow of Saddam Hussein’s regime. The country’s ruling Shiite establishment reveres him.

The heightened screening follows a Christmas Day attack on a Detroitbound airliner. A Nigerian man accused of being trained by al-Qaida operatives has been charged with trying to blow up the plane with explosives hidden in his underwear. Other security measures have been enhanced since the December attack. Heightened screening measures have been tested at five airports over the past month. TSA spokeswoman Kristin Lee said the steppedup screening is random and that travelers will not see the same procedures at all airports.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Air travelers may have their hands swabbed more often as part of a steppedup effort to screen passengers for explosives, an Obama administration official said Wednesday. Airports were told Wednesday that more passengers should be randomly screened for explosives before, during and after they go through metal detectors, the official said. The screening could include swabbing travelersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hands or their carryon luggage to check for traces of explosives, said the official, who requested anonymity to speak about security plans.

THOMAS SOWELL: Distractions are the way that politicians take away our freedoms. TOMORROW

Ban microchip implantations in humans, now The Georgia state Senate recently passed (by a vote of 47-2) a bill that would ban forced microchip implantation in humans. Hopefully, the Georgia state House will do the same. I think that the General Assembly of our state should pass similar legislation. Right now, it is common for some pets and livestock to have these implants. Once the technology gets better, and the prices go down, some people will call for mandatory implants for prisoners, convicted felons, mental patients and maybe even children (to prevent kidnapping). The federal government, and corporations, should be banned from having the power to force, or require, microchip implants in humans. CHUCK MANN Greensboro

Brown election was citizens rejecting our liberal Congress This is in reply to Bob Blakeney’s recent letter “Scott Brown election was insult to Kennedy family” (Your View, Feb. 13).

ure, we wish the federal government didn’t have to put the taxpayers on the hook for $8 billion in loan guarantees to jump-start construction of this nation’s first nuclear power reactors in 30 years. Ideally – which means minus the bad PR from some environmentalists and a lengthy, burdensome permitting process – such projects would be fully funded in the private financial sector with expectations of reasonable returns on investment. But that has not been the case with nuclear power generation in the United States since the late 1970s. However, in his effort to be the environmentfriendly president, Barack Obama this week pledged that amount of funding for building two nuclear reactors at an existing power plant in Georgia. The biggest problem with the president’s plan is that it still will be a number of years before new nuclear power will flow from that Georgia Power plant at Burke, Ga. But clearly, this nation must again move ahead with expanding its nuclear power generation capacity. The fear and caution after the 1979 accident at Three Mile Island was justifiable for a period of time. But overzealous and long-term reactions to that scary incident have for far to long crippled U.S. nuclear power development, and the price we’ve paid – in dollars and possibile environmental damage from fossil-based fuels – has been huge. Had the N.C. Municipal Power agencies and private power producers been allowed to proceed with nuclear plant development years ago, city of High Point power customers and those of Duke Energy, too, would have paid less for electricity. And environmental concerns of today would have been much lower. President Obama is right on this matter. Let’s move forward.

ena had a fever. It had spiked to 104 degrees and brought with it seizures, spasms of movement that terrified her parents. They called 911. But paramedics could not reach their door; the epic blizzard raking greater Washington had rendered their hillside street impassable. So Lena’s parents bundled her up and walked her down. They rode with her in the ambulance through a city leached of color – no more vibrant reds, blues or greens, just the stark gray of the sky and the brilliant white of the snow. Snow changes the world. It muffles sound, softens hard angles into graceful curves, drives people inside. Snow imposes a stillness. As they crossed this desolate new landscape, Lena’s parents had plenty of time to worry. Thankfully, doctors were able to bring the fever down. But then, Lena’s parents realized a new problem; they were stranded at the hospital in a city that had ceased to move. Worse, they were stranded without diapers and baby food, which, in their rush, they had left at home. Nor could they borrow any from the hospital, which said its own supplies were low. So Lena’s father had just one option. I happened to catch him on his cellphone a few minutes later. His breathing was ragged and I asked him what was wrong. He said he was hiking through the storm – it was a mile or two to the nearest store, the snowdrifts already up to his knees – hoping it would be open and that it would have diapers and baby food for his 11-month-old daughter. I have seldom been prouder of any of my children than I was in that moment of my first-born son. We – and here, I mean both he and I as father and son and you and I as a society – have talked a lot in recent years about the meaning of manhood in an era of women ascendant and cracked glass ceilings. Some of us insist that meaning is found in a man’s toughness, his imperviousness to slings and arrows and feelings like pain or love. Some

believe it is found in a man’s violence, his capacity to hit and kick with force, to shield and defend what matters to him. Some argue that it is found in a man’s strength, his ability to lift and carry, to push and to break. OPINION I’ve always felt none of those things matters unless Leonard they are in service to somePitts thing that matters more. Like ■■■ going for diapers in a horizontal snow. I don’t mean to mythologize or overpraise something that is, after all, just a father’s duty. But it is hard not to feel a certain satisfaction when I consider how many fathers fail that duty, having been liberated from obligation by social mores that exact no price from the man who plants a garden, then disappears before the first sprouts show. And when I wonder how many women were slogging through that same snowstorm, having bought into the lie that holds fathers as optional parents who contribute nothing to the family a determined woman can’t replicate. And when I remember the times I preached exasperated sermons to that same son for posturing and preening like something he saw in a rap video, walking with an unearned swagger and acting as if this made him a man. Growing older has changed him. Lena, I think, has changed him more. Owning responsibility for that vulnerable little life has forced him to reconsider manhood itself. We used to have a saying: it takes a man to make a baby. I’m beginning to think that, at least for some of us, the opposite is true: it takes a baby to make a man. Lena, by the way, is doing fine. I saw her the other day and, as usual, she climbed on me like a jungle gym. Then my son walked into the room and held out his arms. Lena forgot all about me. She grinned, both teeth on full display, and reached up for her dad. LEONARD PITTS JR., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

about city departments and services. You are free to read more on the city Web site. With all this positivity for High Point, how did High Point compare to other cities? For the most part, High Point’s responses matched or beat the national average. However, one significant deviation is worth mentioning. Fifty-three percent of cities throughout the country received good or excellent grades from their citizens for “quality of customer service.” High Point, in contrast, received from its citizens 74 percent good or excellent grades for its overall quality of customer service. Beating the national average by 21 percent is what pollsters call “statistically significant” and reveals something praiseworthy about High Point. Our government is very friendly, servant-hearted and efficient. I can vouch for that myself, as I’ve had the opportunity to interact with High Point’s electric, transportation, library, theatre, sanitation, police and recreation departments. Now I’m sure all the “glass half empty” folks are shocked and asking, “What about all the negative results?” There are enough of those to study as well. Perhaps I will examine those in next month’s column. But for now, this survey provides some well-deserved good news that should be vigorously celebrated by High Point residents and their city government.

home.org/Popkin_Study_303.pdf. Take a few minutes and read it. It was presented to Congress in 2003. Obviously, it fell on deaf ears. Regardless of what you have chosen as your vehicle to career riches, success or just to support your family, you will find, the cornerstone to what you have achieved is manufacturing. Checked the average physician salary in Venezuela lately? Recently, a contributor to the opinion pages was discussing the landscape of downtown High Point. I believe he said, “that ship sailed.” The Titanic also sailed and until we realize manufacturing is the lifeblood for a strong and secure nation, you can kiss the standard of living and opportunity this nation once knew goodbye. Did you know that the USA is now a net importer of food? Did you know that recent college graduates are hiring headhunters and leaving this country by the planeload for Asia to find employment? I leave you with a question that nobody has given me a positive answer to in 20 years. When we were a capitalist country, statistics showed that 70 percent of our GDP came from consumer spending. If 70 percent of our spending goes to consume products and services, of which 80 percent are manufactured offshore, how is the standard of living going to increase? Always remember, at WalMart you can “save more, live better.” Ship of fools. BRITT MOORE lives in High Point.

ood news, being harder to come by in recent times, should be all the more vigorously celebrated when it occurs. The results of a 2009 High Point Citizen Survey are in and High Point has something to celebrate. City officials have for the second time procured the services of Kansas-based ETC Institute, which surveys citizens across the country. Survey results provide valuable information to municipalities about city services needing improvement and those doing just fine. From February-March 2009, ETC Institute selected 1,200 households at random from across High Point. Each household received a survey and a follow up phone call. 490 people responded to the seven-page survey. Here’s what ETC found with a +/- 4.5 percent margin of error. Eighty-one percent of High Point citizens think High Point is a good or excellent place to live. Seventy-three percent of citizens feel High Point is a good or excellent place to raise children. And 70 percent of residents believe High Point has good or excellent overall quality of life. On a 5-point scale, 5 represents “excellent,” 4 represents “good,” 3 represents “neutral,” 2 represents “below average” and 1 represents “poor.” The fives and fours are considered most desirable, with threes being polite “nos” and twos or ones being bad. For 81 percent of respondents to give High Point an unambiguous 4 or 5 rating as a place to live is truly worth celebrating. What else did the survey find?

icked up my local Sunday paper recently, and I became giddy when I read the cover story. Did you see this? “Former hosiery mill, showroom buildings to house county offices.” Think about it, how can you not be excited? In 1916, the Amos family takes the risk on the American dream. For nearly 80 years, this manufacturer would become a cornerstone for great economic growth. It would employ thousands, shed tremendous tax revenues and create enormous economic spillover in this state and beyond. There would be customers domestic and international. It would become a great benefactor to our community. Still is today. In the 1990s, it would be sold and soon close as so many others like it. Then it became a showroom, mainly for imported goods. Not nearly the job creator, tax generator or spillover producer, but still an economic asset. Now comes the exciting part. Soon it will become “something special for government offices.” I know, it’s hard to contain the elation. With all the character, extra space and parking this location offers, we have the perfect place to grow government. Precisely what we need. We are replacing what once was a symbol of what was great about our city and country with an institution adept in the art of deficit spending. A group that has repeatedly demonstrated the only way to increase revenue is to raise your taxes. I challenge you.

Crowded political field Race to succeed Wiley grows BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Jamestown Councilwoman Georgia NixonRoney adds to what’s already a crowded place among Republicans seeking to succeed Rep. Laura Wiley, R-Guilford, in the 61st State House District.

Nixon-Roney, an attorney in her third year on the Town Council, filed this week to become the fourth GOP candidate in the May 4 Republican primary for the state legislative district. She joins High Point City Councilman John Faircloth, Phoenix Academy charter school founder and businessman

Paul Norcross of High Point and real estate businessman Gerald Grubb of High Point. Wiley announced late last year she wouldn’t seek reelection in the Republicanleaning district covering parts of Jamestown, High Point and southwest Guilford County. No Democrat has filed in the district, and

no Democrat has sought the seat since it was redrawn for the 2002 elections. Nixon-Roney said she believes her legal experience and background help set her apart from her fellow candidates. “When you’re doing the job of an elected official, you have to look through the legislation and proposed language and make sure the ramifications aren’t something you’re not prepared

for,” said Nixon-Roney, owner and president of Nixon Law Offices and a former assistant district attorney. Nixon-Roney will continue serving on the council during the campaign. She would have to relinquish her council seat if she wins the 61st State House race in the Nov. 2 general election. She can remain on the council if she loses in the legislative race.

High Point at center of merger talks BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – A Wednesday meeting aimed at starting merger talks for a consolidated county planning department soon became a discussion about High Point. Partly led by Democratic Commissioner Bruce Davis of High Point, commissioners declined to approve a resolution Greensboro City Council approved minutes earlier to evaluate and consider a city-county consolidation. By a wide majority, commissioners voted to reconsider the resolution within 60 days. The council resolution passed on a 6-3 vote. “We need to involve High Point in this,” Davis said during the joint meeting of the two governing boards. “We should not wait to bring the city into this. This monster could affect High Point.” The city council resolution also included merger reviews for human resources, purchasing, geographic information services, parks and recreation, and law enforcement. A task force offered a plan last month to consolidate the two planning agencies in hopes of speeding up customer service. Although High Point was represented on the study task force and city leaders reviewed its report, the city’s merger participation was never certain, said Republican Commissioner Steve Arnold of High Point. Arnold, board vice chairman, led county efforts at consolidation. “High Point wants no part of this consolidation,” Arnold said, “but there has been no effort to cut High Point out.” Commissioners approved the review resolution offered by Democratic Commissioner John Parks of High Point. Commissioners also will consider High Point’s role in a proposed merger. “We need a work session on this before we go any further,” Parks said. “We have not discussed these things.” “We never meant to leave High Point out of anything,” said Board Chairman Skip Alston. “We will be meeting with the council sooner rather than later.” Arnold was one of two property developers at the table pushing for approval. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Special schools could get close review BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Special schools and other marginal programs in the county school district could get a close review if at least two county leaders have their way. While a special budget committee shifted through budget line items Tuesday, two members urged a careful review of unsuccessful programs, including magnet schools. Two High Point-based magnet school programs already face changes to improve performance. The Montlieu Math and Science Academy and the Parkview A+ cultural arts magnet have not met expectations. The schools were on the review list partly because they met less than 70 percent of district academic and curriculum target goals. “I hope the school board will tell the superintendent to pull the plug if something does not work,” said Democratic Commissioner Bruce Davis of High Point, chairman of the joint budget committee. “There are so many special schools and they hit the budget.” “We have pulled out some things and made changes,” said

“There should be measurable outcomes for programs, so you can pull it out if it does not work,” Davis said.

Catherine Dillion Gross HIGH POINT – A life well led ended last Thursday morning with the passing of Catherine Dillon Gross. She died peacefully in her sleep after a year of declining health. Catty was born on December 15, 1922, in Charleston, West Virginia, to Clara Miller Dillon and Dr. Marcus L. Dillon. In the early 1930s, the Dillons moved to Lewisburg, West Virginia. In later years Catty would tell about riding her horse to the Greenbrier River and exploring islands in the middle of the river. After high school she attended Greenbrier College for Women in Lewisburg, then attended and graduated from Duke University in 1944. At Duke she was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and a member of the May Court. After college she worked in New York City for the Morgan Guaranty Trust Company. When World War II ended, she left her fledgling career to marry Robert Argyle Gross, her sweetheart from Duke, on February 9, 1946. They lived in West Virginia; Asheville, NC; and Indiana before moving to High Point in 1954. They were blessed with four children along the way. In addition to being a homemaker and mother, Catty was active in the community and in the First Presbyterian Church. She served as an officer in the PTA in several schools in High Point. She was also a member of the Junior League, the High Point Literary League, and the Century Study Club. Her love of nature and plants was expressed in her gardens and by her membership in the Green Thumb Garden Club. She enjoyed an active social life in the community. She was a member of the Debutante Club of High Point, and she and Mr. Gross were members of the High Point Country Club and The Quadrille. She was an avid golfer and tennis player until late in her

life. A lover of animals, she always enjoyed the companionship of her cats and dogs. She was very musical. She played the piano and entertained her family with show tunes and popular songs from the ‘30s and ‘40s. She carried a song in her heart wherever she went. The Grosses had lived at Willow Creek since 1971. They moved to the River Landing retirement community on Sandy Ridge Road in 2002. Catty is survived by her husband of 64 years, Robert A. Gross, and by their four children: Catherine Hendren and her husband Tom; Robert D. Gross and his wife Jan; Jill Soderberg and her husband Leif; and William T. Gross. She also leaves nine grandchildren: Matt and Cate Hendren; Will and Anne Gross; Alexandra, Peter, and Lucy Soderberg; and Tally and Dan Gross. There is one great-grandchild, Owen Dillon Lee Gross. Also surviving is her sister-in-law Jean Gross MacLachlan of Novi, Michigan, and her niece Ann MacLachlan Zaleski. The family would like to express their appreciation and love to Gracie Setzer, who took such good care of Mrs. Gross for many years and was her best friend. And they also thank the staff of the Winged Foot Rehabilitation Center at River Landing for the exceptional care they provided the last two months of Mrs. Gross’s life. There will be an opportunity for visitation with the family on Friday, February 19, 2010, from 5 to 7 P.M. at River Landing.

Men gain empathy for their menopausal spouses

ear Abby: You asked female readers if we have anything to add to your advice to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hot Flash Hildaâ&#x20AC;? (Dec. 16), whose husband says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;meanâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;freakyâ&#x20AC;? because she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to snuggle when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s having a hot flash. I have had 18 years of menopause. I told my older son once that menopause constitutes justifiable homicide, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better tread carefully. Hilda should tell her husband that hot flashes are like claustrophobia. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heating up from the inside out and have no way to escape. There are times when my skin actually hurts. Maybe if she uses â&#x20AC;&#x153;justifiable homicideâ&#x20AC;? it will get through to him. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Linda in Mesa, Ariz. Dear Linda: When I printed the question from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hilda,â&#x20AC;? I had no idea that menopause was such a hot topic and that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d not only receive responses from women, but also from male readers. Read on: Dear Abby: My wife has also been dealing with hot flashes. Her comments to me fell on deaf ears until my doctor prescribed a niacin-based drug for triglyceride issues. He failed to advise me to take an aspirin shortly before taking the niacin. When I took the niacin for the first time, I had an instant understanding of what hot flashes were and what my wife had been subjected to for several years. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Gets It Now in Georgia Dear Abby: My husband also didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t under-

stand my need for distance during a hot flash. So I took him to a spa for ADVICE a day of couples Dear pampering Abby and sugâ&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; gested he get into the sauna to relax. When he was good and hot, I joined him and suggested we â&#x20AC;&#x153;snuggle.â&#x20AC;? He exclaimed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all hot and sweaty!â&#x20AC;? I smiled and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a hot flash.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when he finally got it. Now he not only gives me space during a hot flash, but offers me a cool drink of water or a chilled cloth to put on my neck for the duration of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;heat wave.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Diane in Susanville, Calif. Dear Abby: Thank you for that reply! Men need to try and understand what women feel during a hot flash. A 450- degree oven about sums it up. I bought books on the subject for my husband, but have yet to give them to him. I most certainly will now. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Michele in Wurtsboro, N.Y. Dear Michele: Another way to educate a clueless spouse is for both of them to consult the wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gynecologist or their primary physician to discuss what the hormone changes may be doing to her body and psyche. Dear Abby: When my hubby and I first married, he was always the warm

one; I was always freezing. At night heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d snuggle me in bed until I was comfortable. Years later, he was diagnosed with cancer. Radiation therapy caused his body temperature to drop while I, coincidentally, was going through menopause. Now I would wrap my legs around his, snuggling him until we were both comfortable. One night, while we were all entangled, he exclaimed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, my God, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve turned into each other!â&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been gone 10 years now, and what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d give for one more snuggle. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bonnie in Greenfield, Wis. Dear Abby: My partner and I are both going through menopause. Try having two women having hot flashes at the same time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the sheets nearly burst into flames. Hilda should be grateful sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going through WOMENopause. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Vickie in Texas Dear Abby: On a recent trip to Rome, my husband generously sprinkled fresh peppers in his food (while the waiter shook his head). Heat seared through his body. His eyes were glassy, sweat beaded on his forehead and he gulped the whole carafe of water. I looked at him and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcome to MY world.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Anita in Orange City, Iowa DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Can you tell me if I can have half a teaspoon of cinnamon a day? – A.P. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice increase the blood levels of some drugs. On the list are three cholesterol-lowering drugs, Lipitor (atorvastatin), Zocor (simvastatin) and Mevacor (lovastatin); the heart drugs nifedipine (Procardia) and amiodarone (Cordarone); and the tranquilizers Valium and BuSpar. I haven’t mentioned all the drugs, but I hope that information from the pharmacy indicates if grapefruit affects any of your prescribed medicine. I don’t see that cinnamon is a danger to your blood thinner or to your filter. You mean a filter that’s put in the body’s main vein to prevent clots from traveling to the lungs, right? Cinnamon won’t hurt such a filter. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Meet the latest Abraham Lincoln biographer: Bill O’Reilly. The Fox News host and bestselling author is working on “Killing Lincoln,” a history book that will take readers “into Ford’s Theater and into the mind of Lincoln’s assassin, John Wilkes Booth, and on the manhunt to find and bring to justice the killer of one our greatest presidents,” according to a statement issued by Henry Holt and Company. “Killing Lincoln” is scheduled to come out in the fall of 2011 and will be co-written by Martin Dugard, whose previous works include “The Training Ground,” an account of the Mexican War and such future Civil War generals as Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee. In a recent interview, O’Reilly said he got the idea after learning about Lafayette C. Baker, a 19th-century detective and spy who led the investigation into Lincoln’s murder and helped track down Booth. Baker claimed later that he had possession of Booth’s diary and that someone had “cut out eighteen leaves.” Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, to whom Baker had turned over the diary, was accused of taking out the pages and was suspected of being involved in the assassination plot. “The more I heard the more exciting and more interesting it became, and I said, ‘Look, I can do a good book on this,’ ” said O’Reilly, who added that “Killing Lincoln” will also provide lessons “for today, for contemporary America,” but declined to be more specific. “I want to keep that as a surprise,” he said.

Thursday, Feb. 18, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Molly Ringwald, 42; Dr. Dre, 45; Matt Dillon, 46; John Travolta, 56 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: This year, it will be vital to see things clearly before you take action. Trust only what is factual and follow your gut feeling, not what someone else tells you. Past and present dealings will contribute to how things unfold in the future. There is no room for error. Your numbers are 5, 8, 19, 25, 30, 33, 45 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Open up about the way you feel and about what you ’d like to see happen. Giving in to someone’s selfish needs will not make you feel good about who you are. Focus on what really matters to you and your community. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you aren’t willing to do your share, how can you expect others to? Explain to others what is wrong and what can make things right for the organization or people you are concerned about. An interesting partnership will develop. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll be faced with both negative and positive reactions and must be prepared to sway the people who don’t agree with you. Your unusual way of expressing what you want should help you secure the foothold you need to proceed with your plans. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Speak up if you want to correct misinformation that is circulating. Don’t be afraid of change to your status or your professional goals. Nothing is as bad as it seems if you put in time and effort. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Look for an unusual opportunity to raise your income. There is money to be made if you decide to buy, sell or invest in something you believe in. A change of plans may be unnerving but will bring greater insight. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): View your glass as half full and put your imagination to work for you. The ideas you come up with will help to buffer some of the financial losses you have incurred. Nothing is out of reach if you put your mind to it. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You will be able to develop a good working relationship with someone who has the potential to bring what you are lacking to the project. Spontaneity will allow you to bring attention to your plans and gain the help you will need. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Not everyone will be as intuitive as you are. The possibilities are endless if you stay on course and prepare for the changes to your personal life that have been on your mind for some time. A move is evident. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A romantic problem can cloud your vision, causing you to backtrack and second-guess what you are doing. Don’t let anyone slow you down. A residential move will help solve some problems. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t give in to someone else’s nastiness. Travel plans will lead to delays and should be put on hold, if possible. Less will turn out to be more when it comes to an explanation you must make. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take a long, hard look at your goals and, if you aren’t happy with what you see, it may be time to rediscover what you have to offer. New beginnings are always difficult but they can be exciting and rewarding as well. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Talk to someone in a position of power about a project you want to pursue. An unusual way of dealing with a partnership will be a means to get what you want. Approach someone you used to rely on for insight. ★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

With apologies to “Dilbert,” here’s another startling office memo from real life: “Cooperation can be achieved if we all work together.” In today’s deal, EastWest suffered a 650-point loss. Against South’s heart game, West led a diamond, and East took the king and next cashed the ace: seven, nine, eight. East then led a third diamond, and South gratefully took his queen, drew trumps and ran the spades to pitch his clubs. Making five.

CLUB TRICK

DAILY QUESTION

“Shift to a club at the third trick,” West growled at East. “Even if I had the queen of diamonds, we’d need a club trick to beat the contract.” East got no cooperation whatever from West. East’s lead of the third diamond would have been right if South held K 5, A K 10 7 6 4, J 7 3, A Q. (The defense would get three diamonds and a trump.) Since West knew that South had the queen of diamonds, West should have followed to the second diamond with his jack, denying possession of the queen. East would have had no option but to shift to clubs.

You hold: S 8 3 2 H 7 6 3 2 D J 9 2 C A Q 7. The dealer, at your left, opens one spade. Your partner doubles, and the next player passes. What do you say? ANSWER: Bid two hearts. It’s uncomfortable to bid such a ratty suit, but since partner’s double promises support for the unbid suits, you’re actually “supporting” him. You can be glad that you have seven points (you might have had none) and that the opening bid wasn’t one heart. 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.

Beauty queen bungles â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Amazing Raceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; debut BY DERRIK J. LANG AP ENTERTAINMENT WRITER

OS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Caite Upton is already not following directions on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Amazing Race.â&#x20AC;? The former Miss Teen South Carolina, who famously flubbed a 2007 pageant question involving maps, and her boyfriend, Brent Horne, were in the front of the pack on the CBS reality seriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 16th season premiere Sunday, but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heed instructions to ride a funicular train and received a 30-minute

penalty, dropping them from second to seventh place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wrote on our hands at the beginning of the race â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;details,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Horne said, holding up his inkstained paw. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, mine kind of rubbed off, so I guess thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we forgot,â&#x20AC;? Upton joked. Horne and Upton werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only team to blunder. Daniel and Jordan Pious, brothers from Barrington, R.I., lost a brush during a house painting task, incurring a 15-minute penalty at the

finish line. Another pair of brothers, cowboys Jet and Cord McCoy from Tupelo, Okla., exchanged U.S. dollars for Brazilian reals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even though they were on their way to Chile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brazilian money,â&#x20AC;? Jet embarrassingly acknowledged, â&#x20AC;&#x153;that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work here.â&#x20AC;? Ultimately, married high school sweethearts Adrian and Dana Davis from Arlington, Texas, were the first team eliminated. Husky husband Adrian twice attempted

to complete the Roadblock challenge, which required contestants to scale a tight rope the length of a football field, but he tumbled both times, which allowed the 10 other teams to pass them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me to not be able to finish something like that, it was gut wrenching,â&#x20AC;? Adrian said. Dating former â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Brotherâ&#x20AC;? houseguests Jordan Lloyd from Charlotte, N.C., and Jeff Schroeder from Norridge, Ill., took the lead on the first

leg of the race, despite Lloyd originally mistaking Chile for China. Attorney friends Monique Pryor from West Orange,

N.J., and Shawne Morgan from Bowie, Md., snagged second place while the McCoy boys came in third place.

ELON (AP) – Drew Spradlin scored 14 points and Elon held off UNC Greensboro 7065 on Wednesday night. The Phoenix (7-19, 5-10 Southern Conference) led 59-47 with 3:51 remaining before the Spartans (5-21, 4-11) got three 3-pointers by Mikko Koivisto and one by Kendall Toney to trim the lead to 64-59 with 45 seconds left. Chris Long and Terrance Birdette each made two free throws for Elon, sandwiched around a layup by the Spartans’ Kyle Randall, for a seven-point lead, 68-61 with 31 seconds left. Birdette scored 12 points for Elon, Adam Constantine added 11 and Long had 10. The Spartans’ Ben Stywall had 22 points and 11 rebounds.

Blue Devils rally past Hurricanes CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) – Kyle Singler scored 22 points and No. 6-ranked Duke used smothering defense to rally from a 12-point halftime deficit and beat the Miami Hurricanes 81-74 on Wednesday night. Jon Scheyer missed his first nine shots and Nolan Smith missed his first six for the Blue Devils, who shot 31 percent in the opening half to fall behind 37-25. But 22 turnovers doomed the Hurricanes, who attempted only 45 shots to 60 for the Blue Devils. Duke outscored Miami 29-9 to Singler start the second half and shot 9 for 15 from 3-point range after halftime. The Blue Devils (22-4, 10-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) increased their league lead with their fifth win in a row. Miami (17-9, 3-9) lost for only the second time in 13 home games. Despite their poor starts, Smith finished with 21 points for Duke, and Scheyer scored 15 despite shooting 3 for 15. Dwayne Collins had 21 points and nine rebounds for Miami, and Durand Scott scored 19 points. Scheyer was 1 for 12 before sinking 3-pointers on consecutive possessions for a 64-59 lead with five minutes left. Smith’s 3-pointer capped an 8-0 run that put the Blue Devils up 69-59, and the margin was at least five the rest of the way. Duke went 9 for 10 from the free-throw line in the final 90 seconds to seal the win. The Blue Devils scored 56 points in the second half – remarkable considering that in the first 12 minutes, they shot 4 for 19 with seven turnovers and fell behind 23-12. Smith was shut out for the first 181⁄2 minutes. Scheyer struggled even longer, finally scoring 24 minutes into the game to pull Duke even at 39. Duke missed nine of its first 11 shots, and Miami scored 11 consecutive points – eight by Collins – for a 15-6 lead. Scott sank a runner at the buzzer to end the half to put the Hurricanes up 37-25, their largest lead of the game. Singler made four baskets in the first 21⁄2 minutes of the second half to trim it to five, and his 3-pointer gave the Blue Devils their first lead since the early minutes at 42-41. On the next possession, Smith’s 3-pointer put Duke ahead to stay.

HIT AND RUN

---

he National Hockey League is enjoying its version of an early Spring Break. Actually, many NHL players are leaving their day jobs to compete in the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. That’s the reason the NHL scheduled no games between Feb. 14 and Feb. 28. The league hits the ice again on March 1. I understand the NHL’s reasoning. Olympic hockey is huge business internationally.

It makes sense to stock the rosters with the best talent. But can you imagine Major League Baseball taking a two-week break every four years for the Summer Olympics? Me neither. Gold medals are nice, but they can’t compare to America’s pastime and its incomparable march to the World Series. We’ll never see Albert Pujols leave the St.

Louis Cardinals for a few weeks to play for the Dominican Republic’s Olympic baseball squad or Ichiro Suzuki trade his Seattle Mariners togs for the Japanese Olympic colors every four years or Derek Jeter slip out of pinstripes and into the Red, White and Blue for the U.S. Olympic team. And that’s a good thing.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Panthers sign DT Johnson CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Carolina Panthers have signed defensive tackle Ed Johnson, adding depth to their line and taking a chance on a player with a checkered past. The 6-foot-2, 296-pound Johnson started all 16 games in 2007 as an undrafted rookie with Indianapolis under current Panthers defensive coordinator Ron Meeks. The Colts waived Johnson early in the 2008 season following his arrest on a marijuana possession charge. He was re-signed, then cut again early last season.

Currently, the only teaching position needing to be filled is Hendersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical education slot. Applications will be taken until Friday, March 19, with interviews of selected candidates set for the week of March 29. Those requesting information or wishing to submit their application package may contact Palmer at Dpalmer1@davidson.k12.nc.us or 140 Jesse Green Road, Thomasville, 27360. Davidson. The girls and boys finals will take place Friday at Thomasville. For the PAC 6 tourney, Trinityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys will play Carver at 6 and the T.W. Andrews boys meet Atkins at 7:30 tonight, with Carver serving as the host squad. Whichever team advances farthest between Trinity and Andrews will determine the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 seed for the 2A playoffs after the teams tied at 9-1 in the regular season. The league title games will be Friday at 6 and 7:30 at Carver. For the Piedmont Triad 4A, boys tournament action tonight at Northwest Guilford sees No. 2 High Point Central taking on the third-seeded host squad at 6 and No. 1 Ragsdale meeting No. 4 Southwest Guilford at 7:30. The girls and boys title games will be Friday at 7 and 8:30 at High Point Central. The Northwest Conference has added degree of difficulty since it must decide seeds for 1A and 2A teams.

ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Roy Williams wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season of struggles to hit another low against Georgia Tech. Instead, the Tar Heelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lowest-scoring game of Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; seven seasons as coach dropped North Carolina closer to the bottom of the Atlantic Coast Conference standings. Freshman Derrick Favors shook off a scoring slump with 13 points and Georgia Tech beat North Carolina 68-51 on Tuesday night to give the Yellow Jackets their first regular-season sweep of the Tar Heels since 199596. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we would play like that tonight,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I honestly thought we would play well. ... Guys, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win against anybody with that kind of effort.â&#x20AC;? North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous scoring low in Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; seven seasons as coach came in a 64-54 loss to Duke on Feb. 10. The Tar Heels also set Williams-era lows for points in a half after trailing 4121 at halftime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fair to say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m embarrassed, because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m embarrassed in myself, too,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. Guards Larry Drew II and Will Graves combined to make only 4 of 17 shots for North Carolina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappointing and frustrating,â&#x20AC;? Drew said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to have more consistency. ... I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

put my finger on it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to find it.â&#x20AC;? Georgia Tech (18-8, 6-6 ACC) ended a two-game losing streak. The Yellow Jackets are 5-1 at home, but 1-5 on the road in ACC games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought our big guys did a good job, especially Derrick around the basket,â&#x20AC;? Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;North Carolina was obviously missing its big guys.â&#x20AC;? Favors had been held below 10 points in four of his last five games, including two straight. He made 6 of 9 shots and had nine rebounds. Brian Oliver and Zachery Peacock each had 12 points for Georgia Tech. Gani Lawal added nine points and 11 rebounds. Moe Miller had 11 points while making 3 of 4 3pointers. North Carolina (14-12, 3-8) fell to 2-8 in its last 10 games, with its only wins in that span coming against N.C. State. Deon Thompson led the Tar Heels with 17 points. John Henson added 11 with 10 rebounds and four blocks. The Tar Heels were without starting forward Ed Davis (fractured left wrist) for the second straight game. Davis was averaging 13.4 points and 9.6 rebounds and is expected to miss six weeks. UNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 22.6 percent shooting from the field in the first half set yet another low under Williams. The Tar Heels shot 32.2 percent for the game.

Kenseth gets Parrott as crew chief CONCORD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Matt Kenseth has a crew chief change just one week into the new NASCAR season. Todd Parrott will replace Drew Blickensderfer atop the No. 17 Ford pit box this weekend at California. Blickensderfer led Kenseth to con-

secutive wins to start last season, including the Daytona 500. The team performance dropped off after the two wins, and Kenseth failed to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship for the first time since its 2004 inception. Kenseth was eighth in

Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season-opening Daytona 500. Roush Fenway Racing said in a statement Wednesday that Blickensderfer will be moved to its research and development department. Parrott won the 1999 championship with Dale Jarrett.

MARANA, Ariz. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Without even showing up, Tiger Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; prints were all over the Match Play Championship. Word that Woods was going to speak publicly for the first time Friday dominated the conversation Wednesday, even as 32 matches were being played across the high desert on Dove Mountain. The day ended with Ross McGowan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who only got into the 64-man field because Woods isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t playing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; becoming only the second player in the 12-year history of the event to knock out the No. 1 seed in the opening round. McGowan rolled in a 30foot par putt on the 19th hole to beat Steve Stricker, who was coming off a victory at Riviera and was the top seed in Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; absence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;History is showing in this event.

NEW YORK (AP) – Walgreen Co. said Wednesday it has agreed to buy the drugstore operator Duane Reade in a move that will more than quadruple the number of stores it has in the New York City metro area. Walgreen, the nation’s biggest drugstore operator, said it would pay about $623 million for Duane Reade Holdings Inc., which is the biggest drugstore chain in the city. Including $457 million in debt held by Duane Reade, the transaction is valued at $1.08 billion. Duane Reade, which has been operating in New York for 50 years, is owned by a group that includes affiliates of the buyout firm Oak Hill Capital Partners. Walgreen said Duane Reade’s sales totaled about $1.8 billion in 2009. The deal, which requires regulatory approval, would include all 257 Duane Reade stores, along with the corporate office and two distribution centers. Most of those stores are in Manhattan, where Walgreen currently has 13 stores.

People pass a recently remodeled Duane Reade drugstore Wednesday in New York City. Walgreen, based in Deerfield, Ill., described the deal as its biggest retail acquisition ever. It operates 70 stores in the New York area and had 7,162 stores overall as of Jan. 31. The company opened a new store in Times Square in 2008, but said it would take many years to match the amount of stores and the

quality locations Duane Reade already has. Walgreen said Duane Reade stores will keep their name after the deal closes, and it will decide over time on how to combine the two brands. The deal unites two chains that are in transition. Walgreen is trying to improve sales by converting thousands of

Health insurer Humana plans to cut 2,500 positions LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – The insurer Humana said Wednesday it will cut about 2,500 positions as it adjusts to a smaller enrollment. Its Medicare enrollment slid 24 percent last year to 3.4 million people, while its commercial enrollment fell 6 percent to roughly the same amount.

The Louisville company, however, said it will add 1,100 positions in growth areas like medical-cost containment and pharmacy management. The net loss of 1,400 jobs amounts to 5 percent of its work force. The reductions will come mostly from attrition, outsourcing and job eliminations.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Campbell Soup Co. lowered its fiscal 2010 sales forecast Wednesday as competition heats up in the soup business and said it will cut sodium and revamp the packaging for some of its soups. The moves come as food makers are competing vigorously to sell penny-pinching consumers meals that are easy to prepare at home and convince them not to trade down to store brands. The world’s biggest soup maker now anticipates full-year sales will rise 2.5 percent to 3.5 percent, down from its prior outlook for a 4 percent to 5 percent increase. Based on 2009 revenue of $7.6 billion, that implies sales of about $7.79 billion to $7.87 billion. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect 2010 revenue of $7.87 billion. Speaking to analysts Wednesday at Consumer Analyst Group of New York convention in Boca Raton, Fla., Campbell President and CEO Douglas Conant said the lower revenue expectations reflect what happened in the first six months of fiscal 2010. He said the company would go into detail Monday.

Upbeat earnings push stocks higher NEW YORK (AP) – A stream of good news has the stock market back on an upward path. Encouraging corporate and economic reports Wednesday added to hopes that a recovery is taking hold even as big concerns remain about unemployment and bursting budgets in countries like Greece. Deere & Co. and Whole Foods Market Inc. jumped after their profit reports topped expectations and the companies raised their forecasts. Improved reports on home construction and

production at factories also helped pull the market higher. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 40 points a day after it jumped 170 following a stronger manufacturing figures. Treasury prices fell as demand for safe havens eased. Stocks had fallen in recent weeks on overseas concerns, including Greece’s debt crisis and moves by China to keep its economy from growing too fast. The concerns remain but traders have been able to turn attention to the domestic economy.

Fidelity reports on 401k performance DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – If you had money in the stock market over the past decade, you probably agree that it was one bumpy experience. It might lead you to think your retirement account didn’t fare too well. A new study by Fidelity Investments shows consistent contributions and staying in the market paid off for many, but the gain was due more to a commitment to saving than stellar market performance. Boston-based Fidelity looked at the 401(k) account performance for some 766,000 workers who continued to

contribute to their accounts and remained invested from the end of 1999 through the end of 2009. Their retirement account balances increased an average of 150 percent during the decade, climbing from $65,800 to $163,900. However, 75 percent of that growth was attributed the account holder adding new money and matching employer contributions. The remaining 25 percent came from market performance, said Michael Doshier, vice president of workplace investing for Fidelity.

The Commerce Department said construction of homes and apartments rose to an annual rate of 591,000 in January, better than the 580,000 units forecast by economists polled by Thomson Reuters. A collapse of the housing market helped push the economy into recession, but recent reports have suggested the market is stabilizing. Applications for building permits, a barometer of future activity, fell 4.9 percent. A drop was expected after two months of big growth.

Oil rises above $77 a barrel NEW YORK (AP) – Energy prices ticked higher Wednesday after government reports showed gains in industrial production and new home building. Weak fuel consumption has kept oil and natural gas prices from rising higher during the past few months. But reports by the Federal Reserve and the Commerce Department suggested that the U.S. may soon increase its appetite for petroleum. A report on industrial production from the Federal Reserve showed gains in manufacturing, mining and utilities. It was the first collective increase since August.

Best in show Sadie, the Scottish terrier, takes part in the terrier group at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at Madison Square Garden in New York. The heavily favored dog won best in show and seemed to be an easy choice.

Clinton says lack of sleep added to health problem NEW YORK (AP) – Former President Bill Clinton said Wednesday that he will manage his stress better after undergoing a procedure to unclog a blocked artery, but emphasized that he has no intention of slowing down. It would be a mistake to stop working, Clinton said at an event focusing on childhood obesity. “I’ve been given this gift of life by my surgery five years ago, the medicine I take, the lifestyle

changes I’ve made,” he said. “I don’t want to throw it away by being a vegeClinton table. I want to do things with it every day.” Clinton said he would make changes like getting more sleep and being more disciplined about exercising every day. “I intend to continue to work as hard as I can, but

I’m going to manage the stress better,” he said. Clinton, who had quadruple bypass surgery more than five years ago, was hospitalized last week to have a clogged artery opened after he felt discomfort in his chest. Tests showed one of the bypasses was completely blocked. He said his hectic schedule in the wake of the Haiti earthquake probably played a role. “I didn’t sleep much for a month,” Clinton said.

US to investigate Toyota Corolla WASHINGTON (AP) – The Transportation Department plans to open a formal investigation into the 2009-2010 Toyota Corolla over potential problems with the car’s power steering, a department official said Wednesday. The preliminary inves-

tigation is expected to be opened today and involves an estimated 500,000 vehicles. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the department had not yet notified Toyota of the probe. Toyota Motor Corp. said

at a news conference in Japan earlier Wednesday that it was looking into complaints of power steering problems with the Corolla and was considering a recall as one option. Toyota said there have been fewer than 100 complaints.
