Coble leaves hospital BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – U.S. Rep. Howard Coble, R-6th, was released from High Point Regional Hospital Friday after treatment for injuries from fainting and falling at an event in High Point Thursday. Coble was released “after getting the green light from his physicians,” according to a statement from his office late Friday afternoon.

Coble, the 13-term congressman seeking re-election this year, was undergoing a series of tests Friday to determine the reason why he fainted at the High Point Country Club. Coble was chatting with Rotarians and their guests after speaking during the lunchtime meeting of the Rotary Club of High Point when he fainted and fell against a banquet room wall. “Coble spent a restful

night (Thursday) at High Point Regional Hospital following the fall, which caused him to hit his head on a wall,” his office reported Friday. Coble’s congressional offices have received hundreds of get-well messages since Thursday afternoon, including many from his colleagues on Capitol Hill, said Coble’s Chief of Staff Ed McDonald. For the first time since 1984, Coble faces Republican primary challengers

this year. Three Republicans – Guilford County Commissioner Billy Yow, High Point furniture showroom manager Cathy Brewer Hinson and James Taylor of Pinehurst – will take on Coble in the May 4 primary. McDonald acknowledged Friday that Coble’s health may become an issue on the campaign trail. “It’s out there, part of the crazy season of politics,” McDonald said. “As I’ve said to other media,

I’ll challenge anyone making Howard’s health an issue to spend a day doing his schedule and we’ll see how they feel at the end of the day. If it’s energy or passion of their job, I don’t think there’s anybody that comes close to him.” Coble will rest during the weekend and return to his congressional office in Washington Monday, McDonald said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Home sales have cooled since December’s positive momentum. Realtors say the holidays and weather may be to blame for keeping homes like this one on Gatewood Avenue from selling. Average home prices, however, are rebounding.

Housing market begins 2010 with a drop in sales BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Home sales in High Point are off to a sluggish start in 2010 as sales dropped for the second consecutive month. The total number of units sold dropped 35 percent in January when 60 units were sold, down from 93 units in December. Home sales also dropped 6 percent from the same time last year when 64 units were sold. More positive news rested on the average sale price of a home, which rose from $122,502 in December to $149,684 in January.

That compares to the Triad area average home sale price, which dropped 13 percent from December to January, resting at $147,373. The drop in home sales might be explained by a number of factors ranging from a lack of activity in the housing market due to the holidays, inclement weather or the extended deadline of the Homebuyer’s Tax Credit, according to real estate officials. “Because of the extension of the tax credit and its April 30 deadline, potential buyers seem to be procrastinating until the deadline approaches,” said Ed Terry,

executive vice president of the High Point Regional Association of Realtors. A similar situation occurred in the second half of 2009, said Ken Wall, president of HPRAR. He said buyers waited until the last months of the original deadline of the tax credit in November to purchase their homes. As the next deadline approaches in the spring, he expects sales to increase like they did in October and November. “Some buyers are just going to wait (to buy a home) just because they have cold feet and because it’s a big step for them,” he said.

“I do think we’ll see a surge in March and April closings.” While the increase in the average home sale price was a good sign for the local housing market, another good sign might be found in the number of pending home sales – a new statistic being tracked, according to Terry. “We’ve only started tracking pending sales, so there is no history to draw from, but our 60 sales in January are offset by the fact that there were 97 pending sales in the same period,” he said. “That bodes well for February and beyond.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

State funds to help pave Davidson County BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Motorists traveling a series of roads in Davidson County, including part of Interstate 85 Business Loop, will have a smoother ride by the summer as crews resurface 45 miles of thoroughfares. The N.C. Department of Transportation announced Thursday that crews will repave 14.2 miles of I-85 Business Loop and sections of 10 secondary county roads starting next month.

Resurfacing is scheduled to start as early as March 17, with completion by Aug. 31, the DOT reports. The $6.6 million contract was awarded to APAC-Atlantic Inc. of Greensboro. The part of I-85 Business Loop to be repaved is from east of the U.S. 52 interchange in Lexington to the Randolph County line near Thomasville. The Davidson County resurfacing is part of the latest round of 43 contracts totaling $138.3 million that have been awarded for highway and bridge projects across North Carolina, according

to the office of Gov. Beverly Perdue. The work includes 12 projects funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, commonly known as the federal stimulus. The Davidson County resurfacing isn’t stimulus funding, Perdue’s office indicates. The bids received on the advertised projects came in 11 percent, or about $18.4 million, below DOT estimates, according to the governor’s office. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Forensic evidence helps deputies solve 2-year-old break-in BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office credits forensic evidence with helping them clear a 2-year-old case involving a break-in. Deputies responded to a Leonard Road home on April 21, 2008, to investigate a reported breaking and entering of a house under construction. Sheriff’s office personnel collected evidence from the scene

and submitted it to the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation laboratory for analysis. The analysis led to the identification of Cade Allison Hyskell as the suspect in the case. Officials did not disclose what the evidence was or how it led investigators to Hyskell. Detectives conducted further investigation and arrested Hyskell, 22, of Lexington, on Thursday, deputies said. He was charged with felony breaking and

Man arrested twice on wedding night LEWISTON, Idaho (AP) – A marriage got off to a rocky start after the 21-year-old groom from northern Idaho was arrested twice on his wedding night and charged with assaulting his new wife in nearby eastern Washington. Court records show Nathan Lewis of Lewiston, Idaho, was charged

Tuesday in Asotin County Superior Court with second-degree assault and interfering with a report of domestic violence. The Nez Perce County Sheriff’s Office in Idaho says Lewis was married Sunday and later arrested for drunken and disorderly conduct in Lewiston.

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

TRIAD – Two Republican challengers filed Friday for the GOP nomination to take on U.S. Rep. Mel Watt, D-12th. William “Doc” Gillenwater of Greensboro and Greg Dority, who listed a post office box address in Washington, N.C., would run in the 12th Congressional District Republican primary May 4. Lon Vernon Cecil, a Libertarian Party candidate from the High Point area, filed earlier this month in the 12th District race. No Democrat has filed against Watt, who is seeking his 10th term this year. Watt has won comfortably in the district since his first campaign in 1992. The 12th District has the second-highest concentration of registered Democratic voters among the state’s 13 congressional districts. In Davidson County, Jeffery Todd Yates of Lexington filed as a Republican for the board of commissioners. In Guilford County,

The next edition of the code isn’t scheduled for release until 2011, but the panel can issue interim amendments to the code on an emergency basis. Democratic Rep.

ICC: Guinea massacre is crime against humanity CONAKRY, Guinea – A prosecutor at the International Criminal Court says crimes against humanity were likely committed in Guinea during an army-led massacre. Deputy prosecutor Fatou Bensouda told reporters Friday that a three-day trip to Conakry had “left me with the sentiment that crimes against humanity have been committed.� Bensouda said those responsible would be tried in Guinea or by the ICC. A U.N. inquiry found that at least 157 civilians were killed when the presidential guard opened fire on demonstrators Sept. 28. The U.N. said Guinea’s then-leader Capt. Moussa “Dadis� Camara likely bore criminal responsibility, as did a top aide.

Taliban leader dodges missile strike ISLAMABAD (AP) – CIA missiles struck the most feared Afghan Taliban faction, narrowly missing its commander and killing his brother in the latest blow to the insurgents, Pakistani intelligence officials said Friday. The attack against the Haqqani group, which has close ties to al-Qaida, followed the arrest of the Afghan insurgency’s No. 2 figure and the assault on the Taliban’s southern heartland in Afghanistan — all providing an early boost to the Obama administration’s bid to reverse the tide of war.

Siraj Haqqani, the group’s leader, was the apparent target of the attack Thursday on a village in the insurgents’ North Waziristan sanctuary, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not supposed to release details. Haqqani was in the village to attend a funeral. Afterward, he told his brother Mohammed to drive his SUV to a hideout. Moments after Mohammed Haqqani climbed aboard two missiles struck the vehicle,

killing him and three other militants, Pakistani and Taliban officials said Friday. Had Siraj Haqqani been killed, it would have been a major blow to one of the most aggressive insurgent groups in Afghanistan. The fact that the U.S. came so close suggests the CIA is tightening the noose around the Haqqani organization — even in a sanctuary where it has operated for years. The attack also suggests the Pakistanis may be providing vital intelligence to the U.S., even though Islamabad has re-

sisted pressure to launch ground operations in North Waziristan. The two Haqqanis are sons of Jalaluddin Haqqani, a former U.S. ally in the war against the Soviets in the 1980s who has maintained close ties to the Pakistani military and intelligence for decades. Jalaluddin Haqqani, believed to be in his 60s or older, is said to be too ill to do much now, and Siraj is running the network. Little is known about Mohammed Haqqani, but he was considered to be more junior than his brother.

Haiti to take over land for camps

RABAT, Morocco – A minaret collapsed during Friday prayers – killing 36 people and injuring 71 – at a crowded mosque in the old town of the historic Moroccan city of Meknes, the official MAP news agency said. Officials blamed the accident on heavy rain that had weakened the minaret at the Bab Berdieyinne Mosque, according to a statement released by the Interior Ministry. King Mohammed VI sent the interior minister and religious affairs minister to Meknes, a UNESCO heritage city and one of Morocco’s four imperial cities, some 62 miles east of the capital Rabat. The officials visited some of the injured at hospitals in Meknes. The more seriously injured were taken to hospitals in the nearby city of Fes.

US, Cuba discuss immigration issues HAVANA – Cuba offered restrained praise of highlevel discussions on migration with U.S. diplomats on Friday, but there was no mention of progress on thornier subjects, including the detention of an American contractor accused of spying. Cuba said its deputy minister of foreign affairs, Dagoberto Rodriguez, met with Craig Kelly, a deputy assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere affairs and the highest ranking American official to come to the island in years. “The meeting took place in an atmosphere of respect,� the Cuban side said in a statement after the talks wrapped up at an undisclosed location.

Russian official: Missile plans stalling nuke treaty MOSCOW – A Russian official said Friday that U.S. plans for a revamped missile defense system in Romania are stalling talks on a new nuclear arms reduction treaty. Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told the Interfax news agency that Washington’s plans “in the most immediate sense� are “influencing� Russian-U.S. negotiations on a replacement to a Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty that expired in 2009. Washington and Moscow said minor issues in the new treaty prevented a signing last year. Washington is in negotiations to station anti-ballistic missile interceptors in Romania, which Russia considers too close and a detriment to its own defense capability.

Khamenei: Iran has no desire for nuclear arms TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – From the deck of Iran’s new guided-missile destroyer, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei denied Friday that Tehran was seeking nuclear weapons and criticized the U.S. military presence in the Gulf. His comments came as international concern rose over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions a day after the International Atomic Energy Agency said it may currently be working on making a nuclear warhead, suggesting for the first time that the Islamic Republic had either resumed such work or never stopped at the time U.S. intelligence thought it did. Russia, which has been on the fence about whether to impose new U.N. sanctions against Iran, said it was “very alarmed� over Tehran’s failure to prove its nuclear program is peaceful. Khamenei, who has the

final say on all state matters, said his country was not developing nuclear weapons because Islam forbids weapons of mass destruction.

Bernard Fils-Aime, a businessman, property owner and president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Haiti, said he was not aware of anyone in the business community being approached by the government about land. He said the issue would need to be treated cautiously. “Land is one of our very scarce resources and an issue that has underlined many political conflicts in Haiti since independence,� FilsAime said. He said he was sure the issue could be negotiated amicably but warned: “You don’t want to create more conflict.�

much land will be appropriated. A report posted at the Web site of the International Organization for Migration on Friday said a minimum of 450 hectares (1,112 acres) of flat, non-flood plain land is needed to settle 100,000 displaced people and Haiti’s government has identified only 19 hectares (47 acres). The Jan. 12 quake left 1.2 million homeless, roughly half of them in Port-au-Prince, meaning the government would need to find a total of at least 2,700 hectares (6,672 acres) for quake survivors in the capital, where about a third of Haiti’s nearly 10 million people are concentrated along with the government and almost all industry.

In this frame from TV, rescuers carry a victim after a minaret collapsed during Friday prayers in Meknes.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive says the Haitian government will appropriate land to build temporary camps for earthquake victims. The decision, announced in an interview with The Associated Press, is potentially explosive in a country where a small elite owns most of the land in and around the capital.

Political corruption, national debt are killing US “Insurance outrage,” a recent article, brought me back to writing about incompetent, corrupt and greedy politicians, instead of working on my novels. I’ve written several articles about how to stop the trillions from flowing into politicians’ pockets from insurance and drug companies! Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how these “donations” created such deterioration to America. What happened to honesty, integrity, principles and respect when people had to pay their own way, their own doctors and hospitals? Let’s see, this was before decades of the incompetent, corrupt and greedy blood-sucking ticks and their very deep pockets! Do the taxpayers remember the “heartbeat of America” – American textile and furniture manufacturing businesses making and selling their goods; therefore, being able to buy homes, cars and food for their families. Politicians took this away from hardworking

taxpayers with their “free trade,” stating America would become a service country. Really, the only servicing being done now is unemployment, social and welfare offices! Fair tax must be put into law, making everyone a paying participant! America is now an enslaved nation with trillions of dollars in debt and all because of deceit and greed. I’m quoting John Adams: “There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword, the other is by debt.” Surely, you remember history and the dictator that said “We’ll destroy America and never lift a finger!” If this doesn’t wake you up, nothing will! When are taxpayers going to hear the words “We, the politicians, are going to stop taking donations from insurance, drug companies or any company, bank or person. We intend to cut our

salaries and retirements to $12,000 yearly, in order to reduce the trillion dollars we’ve borrowed without taxpayers consent!” SHIRLEY DELONG Jamestown

Diners should be fair in tipping wait staff While attending college, my daughter waits tables at a local, upscale steak house in High Point. On several occasions she has mentioned her tips and the type of people that leave them. On Valentine’s night, she had a table with a $105 tab. They left her $5. Another table, with young people gathered, left her 95 cents for a $102 tab. She gave them excellent service, exactly that which she gave to her other tables that tipped her as expected.

Waiting tables is hard, honest work, and for those that have any common sense, it is well-known that wait staff works for tips almost exclusively. Those that left these tips should be forced to work a day in her shoes, being nice to grouches, making right the things she has no control over and hearing complaints from those that don’t know what to expect from an order. If you don’t know how to tip, stay at the fast-food restaurants. MARY A. DUNN High Point

Remember the old days when your teacher dispatched a student to the cafeteria after playtime to come back with a cart loaded with milk? Skip to 2010 at Orange County High School in Orange, Va. Not only are there vending machines loaded with Pepsi and Mountain Dew, but three times a day, according to a recent article from The New York Times, the school’s secretary wheels a candy cart into the school’s central hallway where students choose from the likes of Pop-Tarts, Skittles and Reese’s Cups. The secretary barely can keep up with demand, and the cart rakes in $400 to $500 a week. The money goes to buy uniforms and equipment for the school’s sports teams. With first lady Michelle Obama taking a lead on fighting childhood obesity, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is renewing efforts to try to get junk food out of the nation’s schools. Childhood obesity rates in the United States have tripled in the past three decades, and today nearly one in three children in America is overweight. At the same time, the nation is seeing diseases once found mainly in older populations – heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, among others – showing up more and more in young people. Those diseases are costing the United States billions in health care. The childhood obesity epidemic is even seen as a national security concern with millions of young Americans physically unfit to serve in the military. Some argue that nutrition and obesity are issues best reserved for the home, and that the White House has no business getting involved. Home is likely where the most healthful changes ultimately will need to come from, but with the stakes as high as they are, it doesn’t hurt to have the force of the White House and the first lady behind the efforts. In the end, policies will need to be set by local school boards, and a common-sense approach will likely serve up the best results. Let’s face it: Teenagers are going to eat junk food. Selling candy occasionally for fundraisers or at sporting events is within reason. Selling candy every day at schools, and offering up vending machines filled with sugar-laden drinks, are not reasonable or responsible actions. Meanwhile, school cafeterias continue to try to serve healthful meals and students continue to want the burgers, pizzas and fries. Let’s hope the White House’s efforts help. They’ve got their work cut out for them. Getting kids and teenagers to lay off the junk food may prove more elusive than a health care breakthrough.

An independent newspaper

Has America’s sense of morality been lost forever?

A

merica has lost all sense of morality. Look at the picture: We are still at war in Iraq and have escalated our other war in Afghanistan. The majority of those being killed in our wars are civilians. The government issued a report that stated we’re less safe now because of the wars. Consider that our forces recently killed a group of 12 civilians, including children. Gen. McChrystal apologized to President Karzai for it (as though somehow that’ll wipe the slate clean). But don’t you think that the survivors of the attack, the relatives and friends of those killed, will eventually choose to seek revenge? Wouldn’t you if it was your family or neighbors who were killed by a foreign military force? Of course you would. Furthermore (and it must be said), the ugly fact of the matter is that our soldiers are killing people and getting horribly wounded and killed in Iraq and Afghanistan for absolutely nothing. But it’s a financial windfall for energy companies, weapons manufacturers, mercenary groups and other defense contractors and their investors (many our elected officials) and banks. There’s no incentive to end the wars because there’s too much money being made by the continuation, and expansion, of them. Look at the picture: The Patriot Act is still in place, as is the Military Commissions Act. Guantanamo Bay prison camp and torture facility is still open for business, still a festering wound upon our shared identity. There’s another such facility at Bagram Air Base in Iraq where people are disappeared into and who exist in turmoil, kept intentionally beyond the reach of our laws and justice. On Feb. 16, the District Court in Washington, D.C., ruled against two dead Guantanamo detainees and their families who sought justice for the torture and deaths of these men while in military custody, citing the Military Commissions Act. Clearly, there is no justice for those upon whom the evils of our nation is subjected. Remember: the majority of those sent to Guantanamo have

been found not to be “terrorists,” which is why most of them have been released. Look at the picture: Millions are unemployed, tens of millions have no health coverage, millions of homes are being foreclosed, millions OPINION of lives ruined. Who stands at the center of this? Banks, Robert various financial institutions, Healy insurance companies and the ■■■ rich. When certain wealthy people and corporate entities stood to lose everything, they went to Congress and raided the U.S. treasury with the assistance of two presidents and Congress. Those responsible for creating the economic collapse paid themselves handsomely for their efforts. Meanwhile, millions more are unemployed, tens of millions still have no health coverage, millions of homes are still in default and millions of lives are still ruined. It is class warfare. Realize the simple fact that you, the average citizen, have lost. We’ve all lost, as have future generations. And not just here, but look at what happened to Greece as well. One company seems to come up again and again amidst all of these financial disasters: Goldman Sachs. And they are reaping astronomical profits from the scams that destroyed the economy. Yet the majority of us seem not to care enough to want to do anything about it. That is why those responsible have not gone to jail. Otherwise, why isn’t everyone out in the streets in protest, demanding that those responsible for all of this be held accountable? Where’s the outrage? Lloyd Blankfein, Goldman Sachs CEO, exemplified the loss of America’s morality when he said he was “doing God’s work.” Pitifully, that’s what they all think. Yet we remain silent.

o, you pick up a book with the confusing title, The Cloud of Unknowing and read these words: “I charge and beg you, with all the strength

and power that love can bring to bear, that whoever you may be who possess this book you should, quite freely and of set purpose, neither read, write, or mention it to anyone, nor allow it to be read, written or mentioned by anyone unless that person is in your judgment really and wholly determined to follow Christ perfectly.� Still interested?

This little book of 75 short chapters was written by an anonymous author in the 1300s. His purpose was instruction in what was (and still is) known as the contemplative life. Since this book was written in the Middle Ages, he understood that only a certain few were called to this life, namely those who had roles in the Catholic Church such as monks,

nuns, priests, etc. That is why he began his book with that “warning.� In essence he was saying, “Don’t tell those who can’t understand.� But we live in a different time, when each person is encouraged to “contemplate� or focus on God. Therefore, many today can feel themselves part of those “really and wholly determined to follow Christ perfectly.� As

It is impossible to go through life without making mistakes and missing out on certain opportunities, and these mistakes and missed opportunities are often the source of considerable regret or remorse. The fact that we often have considerable difďŹ culty getting over some past failing is evidence that we are moral creatures and this is good in many ways. Mistakes have a way of teaching us and keeping us from repeating our mistakes. But once we have learned the lesson from our failings, it is time to move on. The problem with dwelling on past sins or missed opportunities is that it keeps us mired in the unchangeable past rather than moving forward into a future that we can actually do something about. If we have wronged someone in the past and we haven’t told them we are sorry, we should do so and then move on with our life. We may not be able to forget this sin of our past, but we should be able to forgive ourselves and move on. Focus on the future and consider how we might live our lives in such a way that we won’t repeat these mistakes, or miss out on future opportunities. As a dog returns to his own vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.

President’s Day and presidents worth remembering F eb. 15 was celebrated as President’s Day in honor of our two greatest presidents. Abraham Lincoln was born on Feb. 12 and George Washington on Feb. 22. Another great president, Ronald Reagan, was born Feb. 6, 1911, and died June 4, 2004. February has other special days.

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – High Point Regional Health System has received its Level III Trauma Designation Renewal certificate, the hospital announced Friday. “High Point Regional Health System is excited to be re-designated a Level III Trauma Center,” said Meg Cashion, manager of the High Point Regional Emergency Department. “This re-designation is another example of High Point Regional’s commitment to providing exceptional health services to the people of this region.” High Point Regional Health System learned of its trauma designation Wednesday at the North Carolina Office of Emergency Medical Services quarterly Advisory Council meeting. A Level III Trauma Center means High Point Regional serves communities that do not have immediate access to a Level I or II Trauma Center. Level III Trauma Centers also provide prompt assessment, resuscitation, emergency operations and stabilization and also arrange for transfers to a facility that can provide definitive trauma care. General surgeons are required in a Level III facility. Plan of care for these facilities require transfer agreements and standardized treatment protocols. High Point Regional’s Level III designation is granted for the maximum four-year period. As part of a not-for-profit Health System governed by a volunteer, community-based board of trustees, High Point Regional offers a wide variety of inpatient and outpatient care. High Point Regional, the largest piece of the health system, offers 384 private beds for medical and surgical patients and has its foundation in six primary service areas: Carolina Regional Heart Center, The Hayworth Cancer Center, The Neuroscience Center, The Women’s Center, The Emergency Center and The Piedmont Joint Replacement Center.

Spellbound ‘mystique’ South Davidson eighth-grader wins second title in 3 years BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Capturing the title of the Davidson County Schools’ annual spelling bee competition Friday, Callan Loflin, an eighth-grade student at South Davidson Middle School, credited countless hours of preparation for her second systemwide title in the last three years. Loflin, the school system’s spelling bee champ two years ago, won the title by spelling “mystique” in the eighth round, fending off a challenge from Central Davidson Middle student Spencer Snider. “I’m overwhelmed right now,” Loflin said moments after winning. “I’m so happy that all my working and studying has paid off because I have studied hours and hours, on vacations and all the time.

Shuler officially joins crowded GOP ticket

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A fourth Republican filed Friday with the Davidson County Board of Elections Office to run for sheriff. Joined by about a dozen supporters, Edgar Shuler, a former lieutenant with the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office, made his candidacy official by filing at the Board of Elections just before the office closed. Shuler claims he was fired Jan. 27 by David Grice after the sheriff learned the 13-year veteran of the department was planning on running against him. Shuler, who started his career with the Thomasville Police Department in 1996, said he started seriously considering running for sheriff about eight months ago. Filing Friday, he joins Grice, former Sheriff Gerald Hege and Terry

Edgar Shuler shakes hands with Davidson County Board of Elections Director Ruth Huneycutt after filing Friday as his wife Wendi Shuler looks on. Price, a retired state patrolman, in the sheriff’s race. Emphasizing his young age compared to other candidates, Shuler said he’s hoping to draw the attention away from the Hege and Grice campaigns. “It’s time to bring in the new peo-

ple who want to bring the department to the 21st century because we are not up to date with Guilford County, Winston and High Point (police departments),” Shuler said. “We need to get someone in there younger with the younger guys who are going to be here for many years.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

I’m going to give them that consistency that the other candidates can’t. If I’m elected, I’m going to stay there.” Shuler said he decided to run because he feels there needs to be changes at the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office, claiming the current sheriff is using the “buddy system” and is wasting taxpayer dollars. If elected sheriff, Shuler said he plans to get more deputy cars out on the streets and restructure the sheriff’s office. “I want to restructure some of the officers and their supervisors who have rank and have been in the same positions for a long period of time,” he said. “Some of them have become unproductive.” Shuler, Grice, Hege and Price will face each other in the May 4 primary. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

SBI didn’t always give full lab data RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s top law enforcement agency did not always automatically provide complete crime lab test results for use in trials, the agency’s director told The Associated Press on Friday, bolstering an accusation that helped exonerate a murder convict this week after 16 years in prison. Some defense attorneys said the revelation could lead them to reexamine past criminal convictions to see if they were reached without all the information available. State Bureau of Investigation Director Robin Pendergraft said the agency had, in the past, provided only some information in the formal lab reports it provided to the courts. The more informal “bench notes� from SBI analysts would be available upon request from prosecutors or defense attorneys, she said. “I wasn’t here in ’91, but that was the practice,� she said. “It was not to withhold. It was simply to give the lab reports and to await requests from either the prosecution or the defense for the bench notes,� said Pendergraft, who has been SBI director since 2001. The practice “was not the best practice,� she said. “The best practice is to give all the information up front to everyone, so there’s no question.� The SBI does now provide all information, she said. The problems were revealed in the case of Greg Taylor, who was convicted in 1993 of murdering a prostitute in Raleigh. The original SBI lab report, relying on a preliminary test, said lab results indicated blood was found in his SUV after the slaying. But a follow-up test came up negative. That information was in SBI Agent Duane Deaver’s bench notes, but not in the report sent to the court. Taylor was exonerated Wednesday. It’s not immediately known how many criminal cases could have been affected by the agency’s previous policy. “I think the defense bar as a whole will be well advised to go back and examine every case that Deaver was involved in,� said defense attorney David Rudolf of Charlotte.

Rye makes an excellent cover crop G

ood gardeners have long known that their gardens have fewer insects, less disease and more humus and fertility if they grow a winter cover crop and then plow it into the soil in the spring to rot before paltnignt the garden. Farmers cultivating organic produce often use winter cover crops to add soil organic matter, improve nutrient cycling and suppress weeds. Rye is often grown in winter and killed in the spring, so the dead stalks can be flattened over soybean and vegetable fields to block sunlight and prevent spring weeds from getting the light they need to germinate. The effect makes rye a popular alternative for organic farmers who grow crops without herbicides. rye’s roots also apture nutrients and hold the soil in place, reducing erosion and run off. John Teasdale, research leader of the ARS Sustain-

able Agricultural Systems Laboratory in Beltsville, Md., is working with ARS chemist Cliff Rice to see whether organic ECOLOGY compounds released by rye Gwyn in the soil play a Riddick role in suppress■■■ing weeds and whether those compounds can be exploited to improve rye’s weed-killing capabilities. Although compounds in rye are known to inhibit weed growth, little is known about how they behave in the soil. Teasdale and Rice grew rye in winter, killed it in spring and either tilled the stalks shallowly into the soil or left them untilled on the surface. They then took weekly soil samples to extract chemicals from them and tested the soils to see how lettuce and pig-

weed grew in them. They also measured levels of a family of organi ccompounds called benzoxazinoids, released from the rye, which are believed to play a role in weed suppression. The researchers found that weeds began to grow better as concentrations of the compounds diminished, within a few weeks of when the rye was killed. The compounds reached peak levels about a week after the rye was killed and dropped significantly within two or three weeks. The preliminary results suggest that the benzoxazinoids do affect soil chemistry and may enhance rye’s weed-suppressing ability. The work is part of an effort to clarify such issues as how long rye should be grown before being killed, the amount of biomass needed to maximize its effects, and the impact of weather and soil conditions on its effectiveness. In moderate climates, suppressing weeds in

winter cover crops is important because weeds that grow throughout the year produce seed that can increase weeding costs in subsequent vegetable crops. ARS horticulturist Eric Brennan, at the U.S. Agricultural Research Station in Salinas, Calif., conducted studies comparing winter cover rop planting protocols in organic systems along California’s central coast. Brennan looked at how seeding rates and planting patterns affected cover crop performance. He planted rye using three seeding rates: 80 pounds per acre, 160 pounds per acre and 240 pounds per acre. The seeds were either planted in a grid attern that required driving a grain drill across fields twice, or in traditional rows. All seeding was carried out in October. Brennan found that planting rye at higher seeding rates consistently improved earlyto midseason rye biomass production and weed suppres-

Dear Abby: My wife and I were recently invited to a friend’s home for a ADVICE screening of a movie Dear in their Abby home the■■■ater. About 15 other guests were also in attendance. We arrived on time and chose our seats by leaving our coats on them, then joined the other guests for pre-movie socializing. When we returned to the room to watch the film, we found that a college-age couple had tossed our things aside and taken our seats. Because there were no other seats together, we told them the coats were ours and that we had placed them on the seats for a reason. The couple left. Later, another couple mentioned that they thought we had overstepped our bounds – that we should have said nothing because this was a private home. I had always been taught that one could set one’s

Because you were all guests in a private home, you and your wife should have taken what seats were available. (I mean, would it have killed you to sit apart for a couple of hours?)

She has been moved to the priority list, and I’m hoping she will receive her dog within the next two months. While I’m thrilled about the opportunities the dog will provide her, it has also raised a concern. What do I say when people ask what her disability is?

Baby sitter needs more than a moment’s notice ear Abby: I am 17 and baby-sit regularly for a family on my street. The kids are well-behaved and enjoy it when I go there to watch them. My problem is their mother never gives me notice when she needs me. She’ll ask if I can babysit that day, or even worse, that moment. Sometimes she’ll just say something vague like, “Sometime later today – I’ll let you know when I need you.� I love the kids and enjoy looking after them, but I do not appreciate their mother’s inconsiderate behavior.

sion. But he saw no consistent crop improvement from grid planting. Brennan’s findings suggest that increased seeding rates could provide organic producers with a cost-effective weed control strategy. However, planting in a grid pattern would probably not consistently boost the benefits of cover crops – and since it would require two passes through the field, grid planting would likely double dust production, fuel use, planting time and labor. The same principles apply to your garden plot as well.

A move or a change of scenery will do you good and will help you get ahead personally and professionally. ★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Refuse to give in to anyone trying to get you to do something you don’t want to do. An argument can be expected but it’s still better than getting stuck with responsibilities you don’t want. Compromise won’t work. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Play every card you’ve got in order to finalize a deal with someone you care for. A commitment can be made and plans put into play. Visit someone who can provide you with the information you need to move ahead with your plans. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Proceed with caution. Taking a chance when it comes to financial investments will lead to loss. A creative outlet or group that you join will help you see where you are headed. Expressive dialogue will result in much-needed support. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): This is not the time to waffle or to let someone get the upper hand. Love is in the stars, so discuss your personal plans with someone special. An evening out or enjoying a common interest will help you explain what you want long term. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you move too fast, you can expect to make mistakes and suffer financial, emotional and personal loss. Travel or dealing with an authority figure will not turn out well. Delays and last- minute alterations will contribute to greater confusion. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Look, see and do. There is nothing you can’t accomplish if you set your mind to it. An interesting change in your surroundings will be conducive to love and romance. Don’t let someone else’s responsibility become your burden. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may have to deal with emotional issues if you haven’t been completely upfront. A personal reevaluation will help you express your plans with greater enthusiasm and clarity, so that no one feels jilted by your recent decisions. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Love is apparent and you should be planning an elaborate evening with someone you want to spend more time with. Old emotional feelings will surface, confirming that you are in the right place with the right person. ★★★★

ANSWER: Pass. Partner may have “balanced” with a light hand; he knows you have some values because the opponents stopped low. If he’d overcalled in the “direct” seat, you would act. (In today’s deal, South’s balancing jump overcall was “intermediate,” showing opening values.) West dealer E-W 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.

Police capture escaped zebra in downtown Atlanta ATLANTA (AP) – An Atlanta highway turned into a circus Thursday afternoon when an escaped zebra galloped along a busy section of interstate with police in hot pursuit. The 12-year-old animal, named Lima, was exercising outside a downtown arena in preparation for an evening show when something spooked him, said Ringling Brothers and

Barnum & Bailey Circus spokeswoman Crystal Drake. The zebra broke away from his trainers and bumped up against a fence, then wriggled through an opening. He was spotted by people in downtown Atlanta around 4:30 p.m., said Georgia Department of Transportation spokeswoman Monica Luck. Daniel Nance said he saw the zebra near the

downtown MARTA transit station. “All of a sudden a freaking zebra comes running down the street like a car,” Nance told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Five or six police cars were in hot pursuit. And a bunch of officers on foot. But then I got scared, thinking ... what else is loose?” Lima led his trainers and police on a 40-minute chase through downtown.

ear Dr. Donohue: I need help. I’ve been training hard for more than a year. At first, I made big gains quickly. For the past three months, I’ve been stuck in one place. I am not improving. I think I might even been losing some ground. What’s gone wrong, and how can I get out of this rut? – J.P.

BLONDIE

Every exerciser reaches a plateau where it seems all progress stops. Don’t feel that you are stuck there forever. In the early stages of training, progress is rapid. That’s because muscles and brain are working together. The brain recruits muscle fibers that were previously unused. Bringing those fibers into action speeds progress. You’re not actually building muscle size. That takes time. Furthermore, the body learns how to do things more efficiently, another spur to progress. Don’t compare the early days of exercise with the later days. In the later days, you are actually building muscle strength and size. If you are regressing, take a break. Regression indicates that you’re overdoing and you need a rest. If you’re not losing ground but not gaining ground, then you make some changes in your program. You’re spending too much time doing the same exercises in the same way. You have to challenge your body with a new routine. If you don’t know how to

go about this, visit your local library. You’ll find many books on exercise HEALTH techniques that will Dr. Paul help you Donohue develop a ■■■ whole new program. Change the sequence of your exercises. If you’ve been exercising your lower body first, put those exercises toward the end of your sessions. Change the speed of your exercises. Change the number of repetitions. Change the amount of weight you lift. Change the rest time between exercises. By “change,” I mean either increase or decrease what you’re doing. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have been urging my husband to join me in walking. He refuses. He says exercise gives you arthritis. Is that true? He’s in good health and has no joint problems that I know of. He tells me that professional football players are hobbling around later in life because of what exercise has done to their knees. – L.M. Your husband is wrong. Exercise provides great benefits to the entire body and to joints. More than one exhaustive study has shown that no link exists between exercise and arthritis. People have been studied for decades after they’ve been put on

an exercise program, and no damage has occurred to their joints. One study has shown that exercise thickens joint cartilage, the opposite of arthritic changes. People with arthritis are not forbidden to exercise. It benefits them, too. They need instructions in the right kind of exercise. Some retired professional football players hobble around because of joint injuries, not because of their former exercises. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am a 75-year-old man who would like to know what physical benefits I receive by riding my tricycle 5 miles a day at a speed of 5 to 9 miles an hour. I am searching for information on what muscles I am strengthening and what, in general, this enjoyable exercise is doing for me. – P.P. If your heart is beating faster, you’re giving it a good workout. Your heart becomes a stronger pump. You’re keeping your arteries free of buildup. Exercise lowers blood pressure. And, of course, burning calories burns fat. Pedaling strengthens the front thigh muscles, the quadriceps, and the backthigh muscles, the hamstrings. It also strengthens leg bones. Core muscles get a workout. Core muscles include the abdominal muscles and the lower-back muscles. Biking at 5 miles an hour expends four calories a minute. In half an hour, you burn 120 calories.

Mahoney’s homer lifts HPU ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – Junior Kyle Mahoney lifted the High Point University baseball team to 6-5 win over Charlotte with a home run in the eighth inning on opening day at Williard Stadium on Friday. Junior Corey Swickle earned the win and former Wesleyan Christian Academy standout Mikel Rodenberg got his first career save. “The guys showed real character,” said head coach Craig Cozart. “The first inning didn’t go like we had hoped but they showed leadership and toughness and stayed patient. They let the game come to them and obviously our relief pitchers came through.” Swickle pitched 22⁄3 innings,

striking out the first three batters he faced to get the win for the Panthers. Senior Tim Lysaught pitched four innings in the loss for CharMahoney lotte. The 49ers got on the board first, scoring three runs in the first inning, all with two outs. High Point answered with three runs in the bottom half of the inning to tie the score at 3-3. Pablo Rosario led off for HPU with a single to center field and Murray White IV followed with a single to left. Nate Roberts flied out to center, advancing Rosario to third. Rosario scored on a double from Matt Gantner. Max Fulginiti doubled later in the inning, scoring

Gantner and White. HPU took 4-3 lead in the bottom of the fourth on a single from Rosario, which scored Mahoney, who had doubled Rodenberg down the left field line. With two outs in the bottom of the eighth, Mahoney hit his fifth career home run to give HPU the win. “This was a big win for us,” Mahoney said. “In the sixth inning their pitcher left a fastball up and I missed it. On my last at bat he made the same mistake and this time I didn’t miss it. The guys were really excited tonight but we are already moving on to tomorrow.”

Swickle started the top of the ninth with a walk to Shane Basen. Rodenberg came in to relieve Swickle and recorded the next three outs to strand Basen and earn the save. “It feels great to get the save,” Rodenberg said. “I never saw myself as a closer before this season so it is great to have success on my first try. I have to give credit to the rest of the team though for even giving me the chance to come in and get the save.” The Panthers complete the home-and-home series with Charlotte today at 4 p.m. at Hayes Stadium in Charlotte. Sophomore Al Yevoli gets the start for HPU, while freshman Corbin Shive will make his first collegiate start for Charlotte.

McMurray stays hot FONTANA, Calif. (AP) – Jamie McMurray has gone from winning the Daytona 500 to sitting on the pole in California. McMurray qualified first on Friday with a lap of 183.744 mph at the two-mile superspeedway. He was joined on the front

row by Earnhardt Ganassi teammate Juan Pablo Montoya, who ran a lap of 183.477 mph to qualify second. Clint Bowyer qualified third in another Chevy. Kasey Kahne was fourth in his No. 9 Ford, followed by High Point’s Dave Blaney in a Toyota.

Panther men set their sights on fourth place BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – With eight days left in the regular season, the High Point University Panthers are running out of time in their quest to secure a first-round home game in the Big South men’s basketball tournament. Tonight’s visit to Liberty will go a long way to determine if the clock keeps ticking. The top four finishers in the standings will host a home game in the league playoffs. HPU and Liberty are tied for fifth at 8-7, and tonight’s loser will be virtually eliminated from fourthplace contention as it will fall two games behind UNC Asheville (10-6) in the loss column. UNCA is idle today. After tonight, HPU will host Winthrop on Thursday and Presbyterian on Feb. 27. Asheville will travel next week to Winthrop and host Gardner-Webb in the season finale. If the Panthers remain in contention and tie the Bulldogs, HPU owns the tiebreaker because it defeated first-place Coastal Carolina. “I’ve brought up in the last couple of weeks the subject of finishing fourth and getting a home game in the conference tournament,” HPU coach Scott Cherry said. “But I haven’t mentioned it getting ready for this week. It’s a matter of trying to decide if you mention it, will is serve as motivation or will it put more pressure on the

HPU women go for two in a row. 4C kids? But, they know what is at stake.” HPU crushed Liberty 81-53 on Jan. 21 at the Millis Center, taking advantage of the Flames being without their leading scorer Kyle Ohman, who missed six games with a wrist injury. Ohman, who is 6-4 and can play guard or forward, is averaging 14.4 points per game. Evan Gordon, a 6-2 guard from Indianapolis, is next on the scoring chart for Liberty at 12 ppg. “When he’s on the floor, it gives them more confidence and a different dimension,” Cherry said of Ohman. “They are a different team with him in the lineup. And, they are a different team at home.” So is HPU on the road. The Panthers are just 2-6 in league games away from the Millis Center, where they are 6-1. “When we played them before, we had just come off disappointing losses at Charleston Southern and Coastal.” Cherry said. “We spent a lot of time looking at film of Liberty. We came out with a lot of intensity and prevented them from doing the things they wanted to do. If we can do that again, then we have a good shot at winning. If we can’t, it is going to be a challenge.” gsmith@hpe.com |888-3519

ig Four basketball can be summed up with a tale of two duos this season. Duke and Wake Forest appear primed for top-four finishes, which means they will avoid ACC Tournament play on Thursday. North Carolina and N.C. State, meanwhile, are assured of seeing action on the tournament’s opening day at the Greensboro Coliseum. The ACC first adopted the opening round (known in some seasons as the play-in round) with the 1992 tournament. It was one game from 1992-97, then two games from ‘98-

2000, one game in 2001-’04, three games in ‘05 and four games from 2006-present. This got me to wondering. How many times since 1992 have each of the Big Four seen action on opening Thursday as a bottom-tier seed (eighth or lower)? The answer is (drum roll optional) ... N.C. State leads in that unwelcome department with nine appearances seeded eighth or lower. Wake Forest owns three such appearances (12th in 2006, 11th in ‘07 and eighth in ‘08). Duke has one (ninth in 1995). UNC has not been seeded lower than seventh in any tournament since 1992. That is

almost certain to change this season. Interestingly, we’ve only seen two Big Four teams seeded eighth or lower in the same ACC Tournament three times since 1992. In 1995, Duke was seeded ninth and N.C. State was No. 8, while N.C. State was seeded 10th and Wake 11th in 2007. In 2008, Wake was seeded eighth and N.C. State 12th. I hope this brief look back fuels your fire for this year’s ACC Tournament in Greensboro. The first-round games are just 19 days away!

CHARLOTTE (AP) – Stephen Jackson scored 29 points and the Charlotte Bobcats took advantage of Antawn Jamison’s miserable debut for Cleveland in a 110-93 victory Friday night to send the Cavaliers to their second straight loss. Two days after being acquired from Washington, Jamison came off the bench and went 0 for 12 from the field. He was blocked five times and tossed up two airballs, while looking out of sync with his new teammates. The Bobcats used a big run to end the third quarter to beat the Cavaliers, the team with the NBA’s best record, for a third straight time and take the series 3-1 in a possible first-round playoff preview. LeBron James had 22 points and nine assists for Cleveland a night after being the first player in NBA history with at least 43 points, 13 rebounds, 15 assists, two steals and four blocks. It wasn’t the way Jamison had envisioned the return to his hometown. At least he didn’t go scoreless. While coach Mike Brown had pulled James and Shaquille O’Neal, Jamison hit two free throws with 41 seconds left for his only points. By then the Cavs, who allowed the Bobcats to shoot 55 percent, had been run over by their surprising nemesis – who three days earlier lost at home to the NBA-worst New Jersey Nets. Boris Diaw had 18 points and nine assists, Gerald Wallace had 17 points and eight rebounds and Tyrus Thomas had nine points and 12 rebounds a day after being acquired from Chicago as the Bobcats moved a game above .500.

Panther women keep building for Big South Tournament run BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

Bode Miller of the United States races his way to a silver medal in the men’s super-G at the Vancouver Olympics in Whistler, British Columbia on Friday.

Miller pads his medal haul THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Two races, two medals. Bode Miller is putting together one heck of a Vancouver Olympics. Miller picked up a silver in the superG Friday to go with the bronze he won in the downhill. Andrew Weibrecht, who’d never finished higher than 10th in a World Cup race, finished right behind Miller to pile another medal onto a growing pile by the Americans. The U.S. Alpine team already has collected six medals, their most ever, and we’re not even halfway done in the mountains. Overall, the U.S. delegation has collected 20 medals, nearly matching its total from Turin (25). With 54 events and nine days left, the Americans could challenge their record stash of 34 medals set at the Salt Lake City Games in 2002. With six gold, six silver and eight bronze, the Americans have practically lapped the field. Germany is second in overall medals with 11. Norway has the second-most golds with five, boosted by victories in the first two events decided Friday. Aksel Lund Svindal won the super-G and Marit Bjoergen won the women’s 15-kilometer pursuit. Bjoergen also became the first winner of multiple gold medals in Vancouver and the first with three medals. The only other medals to be decided Friday were in men’s and women’s skeleton. Alas, all is not well for the U.S. delegation. There’s a crisis in curling and a halfpipe medalist headed home. Scotty Lago volunteered to leave the

Olympics after risque pictures of him wearing a Team USA T-shirt and his bronze medal showed up on the Internet. The U.S. Olympics Committee puts athletes through a program to avoid such situations. Lago apologized to the USOC and the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association. The U.S. men’s curling team changed its skip in hopes of changing its luck after falling to 0-4, the only winless club in the field. John Shuster, a bronze winner in 2006, was benched for the match Friday against France and seemed to understand. After losing Thursday he said, “I’ve let my teammates and USA Curling down.� At least the women curlers finally broke the ice, so to speak. Skip Debbie McCormick bumped out a Russian stone with her last rock, giving the U.S. a 6-4 victory – its first after an 0-3 start that had put her stewardship in jeopardy, too.

MLB bans guns from clubhouses NEW YORK (AP) – Major League Baseball has a new message for players and employees this spring training: Keep guns, long knives and explosives out of the clubhouse.Signs have been placed in spring training locker rooms stating “individuals are prohibited from possessing deadly weapons while performing any services for MLB.�

Longtime NL umpire Kibler dies at 81 PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP) – Longtime umpire John Kibler, seen emphatically pointing fair on the ground ball Bill Buckner missed in the 1986 World Series, has died. He was 81. Kibler died of a heart attack Thursday, his family said. Kibler worked his first big league game in 1963 and was a fulltime member of the National League staff from 1965-89. He called four World Series, four NL championship series, a first-round playoff in 1981 and four All-Star games.

Tar Heels get Zeller back from foot injury CHAPEL HILL (AP) – North Carolina coach Roy Williams finally has some good news. Seven-foot sophomore Tyler Zeller is expected to return to the lineup at Boston College today, giv-

ing a desperately needed boost to the struggling and injury-depleted Tar Heels. Zeller has missed the past month with a foot injury as the defending national champions fell near the bottom of

the Atlantic Coast Conference standings. The Tar Heels (14-12, 3-8) have lost eight of 10 since Zeller went down. Zeller averages 9.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and shot 56 percent off the bench.

SUPER-G When Miller took bronze in the downhill, he was all smiles at the end of the race. He looked worn out this time. Miller let out a big breath of air and qWith his fourth career medal, Miller regained the title of most decorated American Alpine skier, a day after Julia Mancuso tied him for that honor. (The title could keep changing hands with the men’s super combined and slalom still to come; Mancuso has two events left and Lindsey Vonn has three.) Also, this is the first time two Americans got medals in the same Alpine event since brothers Phil and Steve Mahre went 1-2 in slalom at the 1984 Sarajevo Games.

NASCAR drivers OK with Daytona pothole patch FONTANA, Calif. (AP) – Kevin Harvick believes the concrete patch to fix the pothole at Daytona International Speedway is the right thing to do. Harvick said Friday that the patch is OK because the track has so much character and that repaving the entire 21⠄2mile superspeedway should be only an “absolute last resort.� The damaged portion of the asphalt surface in Turn 2 that forced two delays totaling more than two hours during

HIGH POINT – There was plenty of head-scratching to go around during High Point University’s four-game losing streak, and a big sigh of relief Monday night when the Panther women knocked off Radford 88-74 to end it. In the long run, though, there’s only one streak that matters in the Big South Conference – winning three games in a row at the league tournament and earning an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. High Point continues working toward being ready for that test today at 4 p.m. in the Millis Center against UNC Asheville. “This was something we really needed to get back on track,� Panthers coach Tooey Loy said following Monday’s victory. “If we keep playing this way and build on it a little bit, we’ve got as good a chance as anybody come the conference tournament.� The regular season keeps growing shorter for HPU, now 14-11 overall and 7-5 in the league. The latter mark is good for third place, a half-game ahead of Charleston Southern and four behind league-leader Gardner-Webb. After today, only three games remain prior to the Big South Tournament opening in High Point on March 12. The Panthers play host to Presbyterian on Monday and close the year

at Winthrop next Saturday and at Liberty on Monday, March 8. In Asheville, HPU faces a team that has struggled to a record of 7-18 overall and 2-10 in the league, but played a number of close games. Lindsey Montgomery ranks as the only Big South player with double-figure averages in points and rebounds, and she tallied 15 points and 18 boards in the first meeting this season. The Panthers, however, got a career-high 28 points from Amy Dodd and prevailed 77-63. Loy switched the starting lineup in Monday’s win and also turned to freshmen Laura Whitt and Jazmin Cromartie for extended minutes against the Highlanders. Junior Mackenzie Maier came off the bench and finished with just seven points, but added seven rebounds, five assists and seven big blocks. The seven rejections in a game tied her own school record (Division I era) for the fifth time in conference play and seventh time overall, and she moved to 10th in the nation this season in blocks per game at 3.0. The big question, of course, is whether or not Maier ever will make it to eight in a game. “She just likes seven, I guess,� Loy said with a laugh. “She did a great job of protecting the basket, especially late when they were really attacking.�

Sunday’s Daytona 500 are being repaired with a concrete patch that will be about 6 feet wide and 18 feet long. Jeff Burton says the track is rough, but he is “really mixed� about paving the entire track, which was last paved in 1978. Greg Biffle says the concrete will be “a good fix� that drivers will know won’t break apart. He says the track is in good shape other than that.

Quakenbush started on a backline which started the season with nine-straight shutouts. She was named all-conference three times in her prep career. Sweeney, a midfielder from The Rivers School, played on the Massachusetts ODP team and was a three-time all-conference member. Vercellino, a forward from Crown Point High School, was a two-time all-state honoree and played on the Indiana ODP team. A four-year starter at Crown Point, Vercellino was named the 2009 Chicago Post-Tribune Girls Soccer Player of the Year after scoring 20 goals and notching 11 assists to lead her team to its first sectional title since 2003.

Boeing issues about 1,000 layoff notices SEATTLE – Boeing is issuing 60-day layoff notices Friday to 520 Seattle-area employees and another 500 at other sites. Most of the affected local employees work in information technology as part of Boeing’s Engineering, Operations & Technology unit, while “just a handful” are in the Commercial Airplanes and Defense, Space & Security units, said spokesman Wilson Chow. The last day of work for laid-off employees will be April 23. In January, Boeing gave 60-day notices to 125 employees, 25 of them in Washington.

EnergySolutions chairman, CEO resigns SALT LAKE CITY – EnergySolutions Inc. said Friday that Chairman and CEO Steve Creamer has resigned and will be succeeded as CEO by the nuclear services company’s president, Val John Christensen. The company held a conference call Friday to provide assurances that Creamer’s apparently abrupt departure does not reflect any financial problems at the Salt Lake City-based company. EnergySolutions’ stock tumbled Friday, closing down $1.44, or 18.5 percent, to $6.35. The shares have traded between $5.22 and $10.80 over the past year.

Magna horse racing assets sale postponed WILMINGTON, Del. – The bankruptcy sale of Magna Entertainment Corp.’s horse racing assets in Maryland has been postponed a fourth time.

A new date for a hearing on the sale of Maryland Jockey Club assets was not set. Also postponed Friday was a hearing on Maryland’s asserted right of first refusal in any sale.

Hong Kong company fined for oil spill SAN FRANCISCO – A federal judge has ordered a Hong Kong-based company to pay a $10 million fine after the cargo ship it operated caused a massive oil spill in San Francisco Bay. U.S. District Court Judge Susan Illston also ordered Fleet Management Inc. to better train its officers in navigation and safety Friday. The fine was expected after Fleet Management reached a deal with prosecutors in August. The company pleaded guilty to obstruction, making false statements and negligent oil discharge.

In this March 24, 2009, photo, a sign lies on the ground in front of a foreclosed home in Homestead, Fla. The number of borrowers falling behind on their mortgage payments dropped sharply at the end of 2009, a sign the foreclosure crisis is beginning to ebb.

Report: Fewer falling behind on home loans WASHINGTON (AP) – The end of the foreclosure crisis is finally in sight. For the first time in almost three years, the number of homeowners falling behind on their loans is declining. The drop means the number of people losing their homes will start to fall. But some pain from the crisis is sure to persist. Because millions of people are already in foreclosure, deeply discounted houses will put pressure on home prices for years. “Housing is on a path to recovery,” said Mike Larson, a real estate analyst with Weiss Research. “It’s going to be

a very long, gradual process.” In high-foreclosure cities like Las Vegas, Phoenix and Miami, homes have lost roughly half their values from their peaks. But a report Friday from the Mortgage Bankers Association showed Nevada, Arizona and Florida had some of the biggest declines in new delinquencies. The figures probably mark “the beginning of the end” of the crisis, said Jay Brinkmann, the trade group’s chief economist. However, more than 15 percent of homeowners with a mortgage have missed at least one payment or are in

foreclosure, a record. Worse, nearly half of all delinquent borrowers were at least three months behind on their payments, up from a typical level of less than 20 percent. “The bad news is that we still have a big problem,” Brinkmann said. “The good news is it looks like it may not get much bigger.” That’s because the percentage of borrowers who missed just one payment on their home loans fell to 3.6 percent in the October-to-December quarter from 3.8 percent in the third quarter, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Low inflation gives Fed room to keep rates down WASHINGTON (AP) – The Federal Reserve seems likely to keep interest rates at record lows for several more months after news Friday that consumer prices excluding food and energy fell in January. It was the first time such prices have fallen in any month since 1982. The benign report on consumer inflation sent a positive signal to investors and borrowers. It suggested that short-term rates can remain low to strengthen

the economic recovery without triggering inflation. Some have worried that a Fed rate increase affecting consumers and businesses might be imminent, especially after it just raised the rate banks pay for emergency loans. The news of low inflation eased some concerns and helped support stock prices. In mid-afternoon trading, the Dow Jones industrial average rose about 9 points, or 0.1 percent. Broader stock averages also gained mod-

estly. Bond prices were little changed, and the dollar was mixed against other major currencies. The Fed has kept a key bank lending rate at a record low near zero since December 2008. The goal is to entice consumers and businesses to boost spending. Most economists don’t expect the Fed to raise rates anytime soon. “Rate hikes remain unlikely until late 2010 or early 2011,” Eric Lascelles, an economist at TD Securities, wrote in a research note.

Oil prices up 11 percent in 2 weeks NEW YORK (AP) – Oil prices are again flirting with $80 a barrel after a two-week rally fueled by promising economic reports and worries that troubles in Europe and the Middle East could eventually tighten supplies. Benchmark crude for March delivery added

75 cents to settle at $79.81 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The price of the March contract, which ends Monday, has increased by 12 percent since Feb. 5. Most of the trading already has moved to the April contract, which

added 64 cents Friday to settle at $80.06 a barrel. An extended surge in crude prices will force gasoline and other fuels higher as well. Retail gas prices already have started to increase this week, and experts predict the national average will hit $3 a gallon this summer.

and boots on.” The central bank didn’t change its more widely used federal funds rate, which is a benchmark for short-term interest rates. Jay Leupp, president of Grubb & Ellis AGA mutual funds, said it wasinevitablethat the Fed would raise the discount rate. However the timing and size of future rate hikes for both the discount rate and the federal funds rate are still quite uncertain, he said. “It’s a warning sign, but don’t expect more to happen soon,” Leupp said. The focus on rates comes as investors grow more encouraged about the U.S. economy after weeks of concerns about conditions overseas. Debt problems in Greece and other European nations as well as China’s move to curb its economic growth brought worries that a global rebound would falter. After being closed for President’s Day on Monday, the Dow jumped 170 points on Tuesday as concern about Greece eased and companies including Kraft Foods Inc. and apparel retailer Abercrombie & Fitch Co. posted earnings that topped ex-

Stocks edge higher after Fed eases bank supports NEW YORK (AP) – The stock market ended a strong week with modest gains after investors found good news in the Federal Reserve’s decision to begin dismantling emergency lending measures for banks. The Dow Jones industrial average rose for a fourth day Friday, edging up 9 points to record its best week in more than three months. Stocks initially fell in response to the Fed’s announcement late Thursday that it is raising the rate it charges banks for emergency loans, known as the discount rate. Stocks turned higher in late morning trading as investors saw the Fed’s move as a vote of confidence that the financial system was recovering and that banks didn’t need as much support. A tame report on consumer prices brought reassurance that the Fed would be able to hold down more important rates for consumers and business loans. “The Fed certainly isn’t exiting the easy money policy door yet,” said Burt White, chief investment officer at LPL Financial. “They have their coats

Regulators close four financial institutions WASHINGTON (AP) – Regulators shut four banks from California to Florida on Friday, boosting to 20 the number of U.S. bank failures this year following the 140 closures last year in the worst financial climate in decades. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. took over La Jolla Bank, FSB, in La Jolla, Calif. The bank had 10 branches and about $3.6 billion in assets and $2.8 billion in deposits. Also seized was George Washington Savings Bank in Orland Park, Ill. It had four branches and about $412.8 million in assets and $397 million in deposits. The FDIC said OneWest Bank in Pasadena, Calif., agreed to assume all deposits and essentially all assets of La Jolla Bank. The takeover is expected to cost the deposit insurance fund an estimated $882.3 million. The FDIC and OneWest will share losses on about $3.3 billion of the failed bank’s loans and other assets. Meanwhile, FirstMerit Bank, National Association of Akron, Ohio,

agreed to take over deposits at George Washington Savings Bank. FirstMerit is also taking over essentially all the assets. For George Washington, the FDIC predicts the takeover will cost the insurance fund $141.4 million. The loss-sharing agreement for George Washington covers $324.2 million in assets. The other seized banks were smaller and located in Florida and Texas. They were Marco Community Bank, with a single office on Marco Island, a wealthy barrier island near Naples on Florida’s Gulf Coast, and La Coste National Bank of La Coste, Texas. Marco Community Bank had about $119.6 million in assets and $117.1 million in deposits. Mutual of Omaha Bank, a division of the big insurance company Mutual of Omaha, agreed to assume the assets and deposits of Marco Community Bank. The failure of Marco Community Bank will cost the deposit insurance fund an estimated $38.1 million.

Endeavour undocks from space station CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Space shuttle Endeavour has left the International Space Station and is headed home. Endeavour undocked from the practically finished space station Friday night. The two spacecraft and 11 astronauts spent nearly 10 days together, working to install a new room and observation deck. The seven windows in the dome were shuttered before the shuttle’s departure to protect against thruster contamination.

Jury: Killing of courthouse gunman justified LAS VEGAS – A coroner’s jury cleared federal agents Friday in the slaying of a shotgun-wielding assailant seen on video killing a security guard during a furious gunbattle at a Nevada federal courthouse. In the Jan. 4 security footage shown in court, gunman Johnny Lee Wicks was seen pulling a 12-gauge shotgun from beneath his dark coat and firing three times. Veteran court security guard Stanley Cooper, 72, hunched over after the first shot and died a short time later. Seven deputy U.S. marshals and security guards shot at Wicks as he retreated from the Lloyd D. George Federal Courthouse then reloaded and kept firing.

Search for missing NJ baby scaled back NEWARK, N.J. – State police have scaled back a search for a 3-month-old girl believed to have been thrown off a bridge into a New Jersey river by her father. State Police Sgt. Julian Castellanos said Friday evening that police units will continue looking during their regular patrols, placing emphasis on areas where the child may be, but a more widespread effort has been halted. Police say 21-year-old Shamsid-Din AbdurRaheem of Galloway told them he threw his daughter, Zara Malani-lin Abdur, off a Garden State Parkway bridge Tuesday.

Ex-Detroit mayor fails to make restitution DETROIT – The prosecutor who forced Kwame Kilpatrick out of the Detroit mayor’s office said he violated his probation by missing a Friday deadline to make a $79,011 payment toward his $1 million restitution to the city. Kilpatrick could face jail or prison as a consequence.

Stolen plane lands at LA airport LOS ANGELES – Police have arrested a 23-yearold man on suspicion of flying a small stolen plane that made an unauthorized landing at Los Angeles International Airport. Police spokesman Cleon Joseph says Skye Turner was arrested Friday after stealing the plane from San Diego County and landing at LAX. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

National Transportation Safety Board investigators assess damage on Friday to the building housing offices for the Internal Revenue Service in Austin, Texas, on Friday.

Experts: Austin crash exposes security gaps GEORGETOWN, Texas (AP) – After 9/11, cockpit doors were sealed, air marshals were added and airport searches became more aggressive, all to make sure an airliner could never again be used as a weapon. Yet little has been done to guard against attacks with smaller planes. That point was driven home with chilling force on Thursday when a Texas man with a grudge against the IRS crashed his single-engine plane into an office building in a fiery suicide attack. One person inside the building was also killed. “It’s a big gap,” said R. William Johnstone, an aviation security consultant and former staff member of the commission that investigated the Sept. 11 attacks. “It wouldn’t take much, even a minor incident involving two simultaneously attacking planes, to inflict enough damage to set off alarm bells and do some serious harm to the economy and national psyche.” The suburban Georgetown Municipal Airport that pilot Joe Stack entered hours before his airborne attack in nearby Austin had the ca-

sual atmosphere of a sleepy parking garage. Pilots were not subject to baggage checks, metal detector scans or pat-downs. And they are usually not required to file flight plans. “How are they going to stop it? This guy had a hangar, and he had access to the airport,” said Beth Ann Jenkins, president of Pilot’s Choice, a flight school near where Stack kept his Piper. Travis McLain, manager of the airport, said: “I don’t know of a rule or regulation or safety precaution that could have prevented what happened yesterday.

Veteran credited with helping employees escape building AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Robin De Haven was driving the company truck to a job when he saw something that didn’t look right – a small plane, flying extremely low over a heavily congested area of Austin. The 28-year-old Iraq war veteran recalled Friday how he then saw black smoke billowing from the

glass building and rushed to the scene. There, where the plane had exploded into flames in a suicide attack fueled by anti-government haDe Haven tred, De Haven found five people trapped on the second floor of the burning office housing Internal Revenue Service employees. “I wanted to go help,” said De Haven, who works for a glass company. “I thought, ‘I’m going to go ahead and do it.’ I thought my boss would understand.” He quickly hurled his 17-foot ladder onto the building, climbed up and went inside to help the workers escape. Authorities have credited stories of heroism like De Haven’s for keeping the death toll so low in Thursday’s crash. The pilot, Andrew Joseph Stack III, and one other person were killed when the software engineer fueled with rage against the IRS slammed his plane Thursday morning into the hulking Echelon 1 building.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) – The Alabama university professor accused of shooting six colleagues has a genius-level IQ, yet wonders whether she has been fired from her job – a clear sign that she has trouble relating to the world, her attorney said Friday. One week ago, the Harvard-educated Amy Bishop was accused of opening fire at a faculty meeting at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, killing three co-workers and injuring three others. She is remorseful, but doesn’t recall pulling the trigger, said her attorney, Roy W. Miller. She exhibits signs of mental illness and needs evaluations, he said. “Something’s wrong with this lady, OK?” Miller said, laying the groundwork for a potential insanity defense during a news conference. Bishop is being held without bond on charges of capital murder and attempted murder. District Attorney Robert Broussard said prosecutors have not decided whether to seek the death penalty if Bishop is convicted. Under Alabama law, the only other possible punish for a capital offense is life without parole. Miller said Bishop breaks down and cries during their talks in the county jail. She wants to see her four children and was worried about her position at the university. “She said, ‘Do I still have a job out there?’ She asked me that yesterday,” Miller said. “She said, ‘Do you know if I have a job? I assume they fired me. Did they fire me?”’

Woods Big Tobacco, feds make their makes public case to Supreme Court WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration asked the Supreme Court Friday to allow the government to seek nearly $300 billion from the tobacco industry for a half-century of deception that “has cost the lives and damaged the health of untold millions of Americans.” Both sides in a landmark, decade-long legal fight over smoking took their case to the high court Friday.

The administration, joined by public health groups, wants the court to throw out rulings that bar the government from collecting $280 billion of past tobacco profits or $14 billion for a national campaign to curb smoking. Leading tobacco companies accounting for 90 percent of U.S. cigarette sales want the justices to wipe away court holdings that the industry il-

legally concealed the dangers of cigarette smoking. If they succeed, the attack on their profits also would be halted. The companies argue that the government improperly used the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations, or RICO law, against them. The racketeering law often is employed against the Mafia and other criminal organizations.

FBI closes case in 2001 anthrax attack WASHINGTON (AP) – The FBI sought to close the book on its long, frustrating hunt for the killer behind the 2001 anthrax letters Friday, formally ending its investigation and concluding a mentally unhinged scientist was responsible for killing five people and unnerving Americans nationwide. After years of false leads, no

arrests and public criticism, the FBI and Justice Department said Dr. Bruce Ivins, a government researcher, acted alone. Ivins killed himself in 2008 as prosecutors prepared to indict him for the attacks. Newly released FBI documents paint a fuller portrait of Ivins as a troubled doctor

whose life’s work was teetering toward failure. Ivins’ lawyer Paul Kemp said he saw nothing new in the findings. “All they have confirmed is that they suspected him belatedly after finding out he had psychological problems,” he said. “Sadly they substitute that for proof.”

apology

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Missing his smile and aura of invincibility, Tiger Woods finally showed his face to a waiting world Friday and apologized again for cheating on his wife, without revealing the scope of his infidelity or when he will return to golf. He offered no new details of what happened or what’s next, except that he was leaving Saturday for more therapy. “I have made you question who I am and how I could have done the things I did,” Woods said. “I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated,” Woods said. “What I did was not acceptable.” Woods did not say how much longer he would be in therapy, only that “I have a long way to go.” “I do plan to return to golf one day,” Woods said. “I just don’t know when that day will be.” Just as unpredictable is the future of his marriage. Woods said he and his wife have started discussing the damage he has done.

Local YWCA celebrates 90 years of service H

appy birthday. The YWCA of High Point just entered the nonagenarian age. No need to reach for the dictionary. That simply means that the YWCA of High Point is celebrating 90 years of making a difference in our community. That deserves a WOW. The first president in 1920 was Edith Sharrod. Throughout the past nine decades, the YWCA of High Point has continued their dedication to meet the ABOUT needs of women and TOWN children. Mary The Bogest YWCA celebrated this happy occasion at their annual meeting and fundraiser held recently at the High Point Country Club. Past presidents Tonia Stephenson, Ann York, Marianne Hayworth, Lou Cater and 2009 president Marlene Baruch joined in singing Happy Birthday as the decorated cake was brought out. Cater, who was president from 1998-1999 and now serves on the YWCA Advisory Panel recalled when she was a Jolly Y and moved to High Point from Winston-Salem, “Dot Easter was director then. I remember an elderly African American woman slowly walking up the steps to the YWCA. She asked us, ‘Is this the place young women come for help?’ We said ‘yes” and she then said, ‘I have a granddaughter.’ That scene describes exactly what we (YWCA) are here for and that is to look out for each other.” I must digress for a quick promo. Please put April 21 on your calendar. That is the date of the annual YWCA Administrative Professionals Appreciation Luncheon at the High Point Country Club. Because I serve on the committee, I can tell you that there will be a speaker who will leave you laughing, door prizes, goodie bags and a fashion show in addition to recognizing the administrative professional of the year! Everyone needs a “good friend” and each year the YWCA presents the “Good Friend of YWCA Award,” their highest honor to those whose contributions to the YWCA have been “priceless.” This is the first year that ■■■

there has been an individual and a corporation receive the award. The YWCA has been very dear to the heart of Jim Morgan since he met Ann, his wife of over 46 years at a dance sponsored by the YWCA. His support has been multifaceted and indeed “priceless.” The script couldn’t have been written any better. His comment when he was given the award? “Thanks to the YWCA for being here for us. I have already signed my pledge card!” Marty Heim, owner of Marty Designs has given generously of her time to the YWCA. In addition to serving as a board member, Heim has been a media partner and has designed and maintained the YWCA website. Marty Heim with her caring spirit is indeed “priceless.” After testimonials and a video, Baruch handed over the gavel to 2010 president Karen Resh, who also served as president in 2002. Resh stepped up to the task immediately, “I want to challenge you not only to give money but your time and your prayers.” Next, I want to thank Ray Bretzmann for inviting me to the “Chili on a Chilly Day” dinner held in the new Family Life Center at First Presbyterian Church. This dinner had a dual function, First it honored parishioners Eileen and Winfred Douglas and Gerald Payne, who have been recipients of the “Good Samaritan Award” presented by Open Door Ministries. Secondly, this dinner served as a fundraiser for Open Door Ministries and was one of several being held this year. I usually don’t throw statistics at you but here are of few from Open Door Ministries: 12,000 meals served monthly at the Father’s Table, 70 families assisted with utility bills each month to avoid eviction, 1800 beds filled each month at the homeless shelter, 60 families assisted with food each month, families struggling financially helped through the Housing Stabilization Program begun in 2009, 10 individuals enrolled in the Alcohol & Drug Services treatment program at the shelter each month and the list goes on and on. Part of a prayer for that evening dinner encompasses the mission of Open Door Ministries, “Hear our prayers that

Grime’s final aria, sung almost completely without instruments, yanked at the heart strings and brought tears to my (and probably the rest of the audience’s) eyes.” In his interview, Griffey gave us more insight of this High Pointer and his philosophy. “I had an epiphany several years ago when I realized I wasn’t a singer 24/7 – I had also been given other gifts. I worked for seven years with special-needs children and adults so I understand that feeling of the outsider and how other people feel to not be included. It’s a role that I do relate to very closely. I’m a person who has always fought for the underdog and for people that are misunderstood,”

he says. “I do a lot of fundraising for the homeless shelter in my hometown and the mental health association, and I think it’s important as someone in the public eye that we do these things. I think we’ve all felt at some point in our lives that feeling of loneliness or isolation or like we didn’t just quite fit in,” he said. Finally, please keep 5-year-old Kate Thornton in your prayers. She is the little girl who is

courageously fighting leukemia and became the “poster” child for the American Red Cross for their blood drives and also for the United Way of Greater High Point. Her grandmother Glenda Williamson shared with me the recent journal entry by Kate’s father Joe posted on Feb. 2. “Yesterday, we were told that Kate’s cancer is back. She has relapsed. The odds have just taken a dive. She will start

aggressive chemo and will need a bone marrow transplant at a later date. Please pray for her and ask everyone you know to pray in earnest for her. I do not know what God’s plan is. I am trying hard not to question why this has to happen to my precious little girl.” Please pray for the entire Thornton family.

Suzuki positions SX4 as ‘hot hatch’ BY ANN M. JOB THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NUTS & BOLTS

–

Suzuki’s SX4, known as the all-wheel drive car with the lowest starting retail price in America, adds a new, flashier model for 2010, and it doesn’t come with all-wheel drive. The 2010 SX4 SportBack is driven by the front wheels, rides lower to the pavement than all-wheel drive SX4 hatchbacks do, has a sportier suspension and an aerodynamic package, including a rear spoiler and a lower chin beneath the grille. So, the SportBack has hatchback practicality and a flat cargo load floor with rear seatbacks folded while getting away from the plain look of other SX4s. The four-cylinder engine is upgraded, too, adding 5 percent more horsepower – to 150 – and 4 more foot-pounds of peak torque than last year’s four cylinder – to 140 foot-pounds at 3,500 rpm. But this engine change, along with new transmissions, is made in 2010 on all SX4s, including non-SportBack hatchbacks and SX4 sedans. The SportBack also has

The 2010 Suzuki SX4 SportBack has an upgraded four-cylinder engine with 5 percent more horsepower. a higher starting price than even an all-wheel drive SX4 hatchback. Specifically, starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge, is $18,684 for a base, 2010 SX4 SportBack with manual transmission and five-passenger seating. This is $2,100 more than the $16,584 starting

price of the base, frontwheel drive SX4 hatchback with same engine and manual transmission. It’s also $1,100 more than the $17,584 starting MSRP, including destination charge, for a base, all-wheel drive, 2010 SX4 hatchback. In comparison, the 2010 Nissan Versa fivedoor hatchback, sold

only with front-wheel drive, starts at $13,870 with manual transmission and 122-horsepower, four-cylinder engine. The 2010 Honda Fit five-door hatchback, also sold only with front-wheel drive, starts at $15,610 with manual tranny and 117-horsepower, four-cylinder engine. Meantime, the car that ranks behind the SX4

with all-wheel drive and a low starting retail price is the 2010 Subaru Impreza. With standard all-wheel drive and manual transmission, the base Impreza starts at $18,190. Understandably, buyers of the new SX4 SportBack aren’t going to be as interested in four-wheel traction as they are in style and fun driving.

Suzuki SX4 SportBack BASE PRICE: $17,949 AS TESTED: $19,248 TYPE: Front-engine, front-wheel drive, fivepassenger, compact hatchback ENGINE: 2-liter, double overhead cam, inline four cylinder MILEAGE: 22 mpg (city), 30 mpg (highway) TOP SPEED: NA LENGTH: 162.8 inches WHEELBASE: 98.4 inches. CURB WEIGHT: 2,732 pounds BUILT AT: Japan OPTIONS: Bluetooth wireless connectivity $259; floor mats and cargo net $175; premium Quicksilver metallic paint $130 DESTINATION CHARGE: $735

The test SportBack, in silver metallic paint and with black cloth seats and black dashboard, had a spunky personality. At times, when I pulled away from red lights, I even felt my head push back into the seatback, because there was noticeable zip at startup.

Be fully informed when purchasing a home W

hen purchasing a home, it is important to have all of the pertinent information about the property before making a decision. There are certain facts about a property that may influence your decision to buy. The information I am referring to is often known as “Material Facts.” One of the advantages of working with a Realtor is that Realtors are always on the lookout for these “Material Facts” and will always disclose them to their clients. Full disclosure of all “Material Facts” will ensure that you are making an informed decision on the property you are considering. Attempting to purchase a home without a Realtor can leave you without all of the information needed to make the best decision. An individual owner attempting to sell their property may not be as forth-

coming with the “Material Facts,” especially if it may cause you to consider not purchasing their property. Sometimes this information may REAL ESTATE be left out of the Ken owner’s descripWall tion of their ■■■ property because they either feel it’s not important or are simply unaware. For example, an individual owner may not tell you that the DOT is planning a new highway next to their property. Perhaps they feel the highway will be far enough away from their property that, in their opinion, it shouldn’t make a difference, or maybe they have not researched the potential impact on their property. A Realtor will always make sure that you have up to

date information on potential highway changes, changes in zoning, as well as other important information that could affect your decision to buy. One of the forms that is used in a residential real estate transaction is the NC residential property disclosure statement. Your Realtor will request this form and review it with you prior to submitting an offer. Quite often an individual owner will not provide you with this form or will not know that it is required. Some of the scenarios discussed above such as possible zoning changes and changes in highways will be covered by this form. Another item that a Realtor will disclose to a client is the amount of compensation that they will receive once the transaction closes. A potential buyer has the right to know the amount of compensation and any bonuses that their Realtor

will receive on any property that they are considering. Realtors have specific forms that are used to disclose this information to you, as a buyer. This information is always disclosed to a potential buyer prior to an offer being submitted. As you can see, full disclosure is a very important aspect in considering the purchase of a home. Your local Realtors will assure that you receive all of the information, including any “Material Facts” to make an informed buying decision. Ken Wall is President of the High Point Regional Association of Realtors, one of more than 1,800 local boards and associations nationwide that comprise the National Association of Realtors (NAR). The Association is an advocate for property rights and the “Voice of Real Estate” in the Triad area of North Carolina. HPRAR represents over 700 members in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industry.

Trade up for better quality in your next home A

n eye surgeon and his homemaker wife pinpointed precisely what they wanted in their next home: the tranquility and ease of a condo in a luxurious high-rise replete with amenities. They also wanted a quick commute to the hospital where the surgeon works. To help with their search, the couple hired Abraham Tieh, a veteran real estate broker and former president of the National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents (www.naeba.org). Soon they found the ideal two-bedroom unit just a 10-minute drive from the hospital. Taking advantage of the buyer’s market, they negotiated a rock-bottom price. But, given the large volume of condos for sale in their area, “they’ll be lucky if their condo goes up in value more than 3 percent a year in the near future,” Tieh says, adding that “they’re motivated by lifestyle, not appreciation.”

Tieh’s realty firm gives him a good grasp of changes in homebuyer motivation: “Since the recession started, fewer people are out there trying to score a quick gain in value. More are just looking for SMART MOVES buyers the benefits of living in a Ellen better home.” Martin Here are pointers for ■■■ trade-up buyers who have a better lifestyle in mind: • Identify exactly what you want in your next home. Many wannabe homebuyers have only a vague notion of the sort of domain where they would be happy. But it’s worth your time to specify exactly what you want in a property, says Carol T. Murphy, a longtime real estate agent affiliated with the Council of Residential Specialists (www.crs.com).

• Don’t rule out homes that have gone unsold for a lengthy time. Many homebuyers are suspicious of any property that’s been on the market for a long time, particularly if other homes in the neighborhood have sold relatively quickly. But Murphy says homebuyers can often do well if they’re willing to consider such “stale listings.” “About 80 percent of the time the only thing wrong with these houses is that they were overpriced at the beginning,” she says. • Avoid the false economy of a home that requires extensive work. Tieh encourages buyers to try and avoid the stress of major remodeling. “When moving to your dream home, find a place that’s in ready-to-go condition. That way you eliminate the huge hassle factor that comes with remodeling. Major remodeling jobs are almost always tougher than you think.”

• Keep focused on the benefits of moving up in this phase of the market cycle. Many people are aware first-time buyers are eligible for a federal income tax credit of up to $8,000 if they close before April 30. But fewer are aware that those who already own a home are eligible for a tax credit of up to $6,500 if they buy another place within the same time period. (See the Internal Revenue Service Web site for details: www.irs.gov.) While not everyone is in a position to trade up now, move-up purchasers with a positive economic picture could do especially well, even if they accept a disappointing price on the property they sell, Tieh says. “You might have to take a discount on your current home, but you’ll get a much bigger break on the higher-end house you buy,” he says.
