Businesses, organizations prepare to leave Showplace West

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Two wellknown High Point organizations will have to relocate their offices at the end of the year as changes occur at Showplace West. Paul Lessard, director of the High Point Community Foundation, located on the eighth floor of the downtown building, said the tenants on that floor have been notified their leases will not be renewed in December. Property managers didn’t give a reason why the leases won’t be renewed, he said. “We were only told that none of the eighth-floor leases would be renewed beyond December,” Lessard told The High Point Enterprise. “I reported to my board of trustees that we are currently looking for a new home.” The High Point Market Authority also is located on the eighth floor, along with some showroom space and Gimtex Textiles. Brian Casey, president of the Market Authority, could not be reached for comment on Friday. The first floor is occupied by showroom space and a restaurant space where the former J. Basul Noble’s Restaurant was located. The second through

He said the company was reevaluating the property to determine its best use. “We’re studying how to best move forward with Showplace given the current economic climate and the supply and demand of space in the downtown furniture market,” he said. “The property is under evaluation, and we are certainly going to do what is right for

the landlord and tenant.” Lessard said the HPCF, a non-profit organization that contributes to various community projects, has had a successful history at Showplace West and hoped to find a new location in the downtown area. “I will miss being here, but I am very thankful for the generosity of the Showplace ownership,” he said. “We are currently looking at several options for

our future that range from owning a building of our own to finding a suitable situation for a long-term lease. Our goal would be to try and stay close to the downtown area as we believe in the future of High Point and want to continue to play an important role in making the High Point community the very best it can be.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Archdale officials outline minimum housing proposal BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Several houses in Archdale could be deemed as unfit for human habitation if the Archdale City Council approves an ordinance the governing body reviewed Friday during its annual retreat in Thomasville. At last year’s retreat, the City Council directed staff to create a minimum housing ordinance, which Jeff Wells, the city’s planning director, presented to members at the retreat Friday. City Council members began discussing minimum housing at its retreat two years ago when they expressed concern about some of the

aging housing units in the city. Wells said the ordinance only would apply to structures within the city and would primarily be complaint driven, but city officials would be able to intervene if they see a house in the state of dilapidation. A housing condition study conducted by city staff has revealed there are some houses within the city in substandard or dilapidated conditions. Wells said some of the homes are occupied. “There a handful of concerns right now,” Wells said. “There are some who could go either way. I think this ordinance will be used on a minimal basis. We hope that will be the case for sure.”

Under the proposed ordinance, staff will have the ability to require homes to meet certain minimum requirements for living conditions and require property owners to repair or demolish homes that do not meet the requirements of the ordinance. There are 10 substandard conditions outlined within the ordinance that would immediately qualify the dwelling as “unfit for human habitation,” such as interior walls that are leaning severely, floors or roofs unable to support loads, fire damage, and lack of proper electrical or plumbing facilities. An inspector or the planning director could deem a dwelling as

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

unfit for human habitation if seven or more minimum standards are not met during an inspection. According to city officials, the primary objective of the ordinance is the safety and welfare of Archdale’s citizens, as opposed to aesthetics. The ordinance gives staff the ability to enforce the ordinance when situations need immediate attention. The city’s planning board is expected to hold a public hearing on the ordinance at its April meeting before it could be considered by the City Council the same month. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Dorsett withdraws from race, retires BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – State Sen. Katie Dorsett, D-Guilford, withdrew Friday from the 28th State Senate District race and will retire from politics after her current term expires at the end of this year. Dorsett, a former secretary of the N.C. Department of Administration in Raleigh before she became an elected official, withdrew before the filing period concluded at noon Friday.

Dorsett had been the only candidate in the race until Thursday. Dorsett Now two Democrats and three Republicans, including Greensboro City Councilwoman Trudy Wade, will seek the seat. The party nominees will be decided in the May 4 primaries, with the Democratic and Republican winners facing off in the Nov. 2 general election.

The 28th Senate District stretches from parts of High Point through southern Guilford County to sections of Greensboro. The district includes Jamestown and Pleasant Garden. Dorsett said that she retired because of family commitments. She said that her sister, who lives in California, has experienced health issues. “I just felt like two more years, after the end of this year, would be a long time,” she said. Dorsett first was elect-

ed in 2002 and has won races since then comfortably in the Democratic-leaning district. The Democrats who filed for the seat are Evelyn Miller of Greensboro and Gladys Robinson, executive director of the Piedmont Health Services and Sickle Cell Agency in Greensboro. The Republicans who filed are Robert Brafford Jr. and Jeffrey Brommer of Jamestown and Wade, a former Guilford County commissioner. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

No Democrats in the area’s state legislative delegation are unopposed this year. For example, Rep. Hugh Holliman, D-Davison, will face one of two Republican challengers in the general election. Rayne Brown of Lexington, who narrowly lost to Holliman two years ago, and David-

Both sides can sense that incumbents, despite their party background, are potentially vulnerable,” DeSantis said. Many challengers believe that 2010 will be the year when newcomers “can get their foot in the door in this election,” DeSantis said.

GUILFORD COUNTY – Prominent High Point businessman and community activist Ed Price filed Friday for the District 2 seat on the Guilford County Board of Education. With the earlier filing of Richard Becker, incumbent board member Garth Hebert of High Point has two opponents in the nonpartisan race. “I have some things I would like to see happen in the schools,” Price said. “I’d like to see more teacher assistants and more done for the low-performing schools in High Point.” A real estate broker and developer, Price is making his first run for public office. Price, the 2009 High Point Enterprise Citizen of the Year, has been close to education and youth recreation for decades through the YWCA, United Way and other activities. “I never thought I’d run for anything,” Price said. “But I thought I’d give it a try to see what I can get done.” The District 2 seat is one of five Board of Education seats up for election this year. Incumbents Deena Hayes, Jeff Belton and Alan Duncan face no opposition. Duncan is

Canadian guilty of terrorist plot BRAMPTON, Ontario – A member of a homegrown terrorist group has pleaded guilty to participating in a plot to set off truck bombs in front of Canada’s main stock exchange and two government buildings. Jahmaal James entered the plea Friday in an Ontario courtroom.

Thai court orders assets seized BANGKOK – Thailand’s highest court ruled Friday that ousted leader Thaksin Shinawatra abused his power to enrich himself and his family while in office and ordered that $1.4 billion of his telecommunications fortune be seized. The ruling likely disappoints, if not angers, Thaksin’s millions of partisans.

Berlusconi wants corruption acquittal ROME – Premier Silvio Berlusconi insisted on Friday that his corruption trial go forward so it can end with his acquittal, even as his lawyers were working for a possible suspension of the court hearings. Berlusconi called the case against him “pure invention� at a political rally a day after Italy’s high court overturned the conviction of an associate in the same case.

Strong earthquake hits southern Japan TOKYO (AP) – A magnitude 6.9 earthquake hit off Japan’s southern coast early today, shaking Okinawa and nearby islands, where a tsunami warning was briefly issued, Japan’s Meteorological Agency said. The quake occurred off the coast of the island of Okinawa at a depth of 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) at 5:31 a.m. today (2031 GMT Friday), the agency said. There have been no reports of major dam-

age or casualties so far, except for reports of ruptured water pipes in two locations, Okinawa police official Noritomi Kikuzato said. The Meteorological Agency had initially predicted a tsunami up to 6 feet (2 meters) near the Okinawan coast, warning nearby residents to stay away from the coastline. The agency later lifted the warning within two hours after observing only a small swelling of tide.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) – Iraq is gaining momentum in its bid to get out from under the U.N. trade sanctions that were first imposed on the country in 1991 after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. The U.N. Security Council pledged Friday “to review, with a view toward lifting� the sanctions, once Iraq’s safeguards against acquiring weapons of mass destruction are shown to be sufficient. The 15-nation council adopted a U.S.-drafted statement that it will consider ending the sanctions once it can ensure that Iraq complies with treaties against developing certain weapons.

Iraq reinstates officers BAGHDAD (AP) – Iraq on Friday reinstated 20,000 former army officers dismissed after the U.S.-led invasion, a landmark gesture at reconciliation ahead of the March 7 elections. It’s a move designed to allay some of the bitter-

ness that remains years after the Bush administration first made the controversial decision to dismantle Saddam Hussein’s army. The 20,000 returnees are the largest known group to rejoin the officer corps.

Hege had his chance in office ... and failed The fact that some residents of our county want Gerald Hege as our sheriff again simply boggles my mind. I believe people deserve a second, even a third, chance to do good in society after they have paid the price for their mistake(s). However, there are more ways to prove yourself and make a positive impact within your community that do not involve re-acquiring the same position that you failed in previously. While serving as sheriff, Hege resigned his position. In other words, he quit. While serving as sheriff, Hege broke the law, which he was sworn to uphold. When facing the charges brought against him, Hege took a pleabargain deal that led to many of the charges against him being

dropped. Isn’t this the same man that proclaimed while he was sheriff ... “No Deals for Criminals in Davidson County?” Well, he sure hopped on a deal when one was offered. Many people say that the numbers prove it. But were these “numbers” from his time in office accurate, truthful numbers? There really is no way to know for sure. One thing that is known is that funds were used without following the proper procedures during Hege’s time in office. However, there are some things Hege did that may very well have had useful purposes. Pink jail cells, taking TVs out of the jail, inmate chain-gangs ... I had no problem with those.

University of North Carolina system president Erskine Bowles contends his strong work ethic will allow him to juggle his duties leading one of the nation’s premier university systems with his appointment to President Barack Obama’s commission on deficit reduction. Given his track record, it would be dangerous to dismiss that claim outright. However, it is appropriate to wonder if serving in both capacities is the most responsible approach to this unique situation. With Bowles having announced his intention to leave the UNC helm at year’s end, the search for his replacement should be accelerated to allow for a smoother transition upon his departure. With his experience in government and administration as well as a lifelong commitment to public service, Bowles was an ideal candidate to lead the UNC system when he rose to that position in 2006. It has not be an easy tenure, particularly given the budget constraints faced over that time, but he has been a voice for growth and a reliable advocate for East Carolina University. Those qualities also make him an excellent selection for the president’s deficit panel. The bipartisan, 18-member commission has been charged with drafting suggestions for reducing a mounting annual deficit and to lower the crushing national debt. During previous stints in Washington, Bowles led the Small Business Administration and served as chief of staff under President Bill Clinton. In that role, he successfully helped negotiate the bipartisan budget deal that set the course for a budget surplus before Clinton left office in 2001. A mix of spending cuts and higher taxes achieved that end, and might be the magic formula once again should the economic climate continue to show signs of life. Bowles announced earlier this month his intention to leave his UNC post at the end of the year or as soon as a successor can be named. He cited his intention to serve no more than five years as reason for the decision, as well as a desire to take on new tasks. With his immediate future now defined – and focused away from North Carolina’s universities – the search for his replacement should be an expedited priority. Certainly Bowles would be welcomed to stay had he wanted to remain in that position, but his decision to answer his nation’s call means that North Carolina, too, should prepare for a new direction absent his steady leadership, and do so with reasonable urgency.

Catholic bishops show there is honor in compromise

N

ot all people/organizations perceived to be largely with the Republican Party are in favor of halting health care reform. What! You say? In a recent development, Catholic bishops of the United States have sent a letter to Congress urging them to drop the politics and pass a health care reform bill. The letter was sent prior to the president’s State of the Union address on Jan. 27. “The health care debate, with all its political and ideological conflict, seems to have lost its central moral focus and policy priority, which is to ensure that affordable, quality, life-giving care is available to all,” the three bishops who are leading the lobbying effort for the Catholic hierarchy wrote, according to reports on Web site Politics Daily. The Catholic bishops, who were surprised, as many of us were, by Scott Brown’s recent election in Massachusetts, moved hastily to submit the letter, which was sent to all 535 members of Congress siting the moral imperative of providing health care access to those who need it most. As a result of Brown’s victory in Massachusetts, which will allow Republicans to block passing of the health care reform bill, the letter from the bishops went onto say, “Although political contexts have changed, the moral and policy failure that leaves tens of millions of our sisters and brothers without access to health care still remains.” The authors of the letter are Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, head of pro-life efforts for the hierarchy; Bishop William Murphy of Rockville Centre, New York, their chief spokesman on domestic issues; and Bishop John Wester of Salt Lake City, their spokesman on behalf of immigrants. For some time, the bishops had been holding out under the umbrella of “no federal funding for abortions.” While Catholic bishops are still very much pro life, they see the opportunity to aid the masses and say that not letting the health care bill die is what is important. More work can be

done to the bill after the bill has passed. “We’d like to get something passed because that would be a start, an icebreaker. People would see the world didn’t end [with reform], that it’s a good thing, and then we OPINION could go on to pass other elements that we need,” said a Sondra church official that is closely Foy Anderson involved with health care ■■■ reform negotiations. The same official went on to say, “It seems that the Republican Party has made a decision to oppose anything that the Democrats propose.” The Republican Party, which has been one of the Catholic church’s closest allies has not listened to the pleas of the Catholic bishops of late. One freshman representative, Anh “Joseph” Cao of Louisiana, a former Jesuit seminarian, took a courageous step when he went against Republican Party tactics and supported the House bill. It’s good to see the Catholic bishops of the United States take the high road even though their position during the 2008 campaign did anything but support the then candidate, Barack Obama, claiming that Obama was a candidate that no good Catholic could support. Despite that strong statement, pro-life Democrats and President Obama, when he made health care reform a priority, have made it possible for Catholic bishops of the United States to have a seat at the table to have a voice in the health care reform process. It’s good to see Scott Brown take the high road as a good senator from Massachusetts should, voting with Democrats on a $15 billion dollar bill to spur job creation. Even though many in his party now consider him a traitor, let’s hope he’ll see the light again on health care reform. SONDRA FOY ANDERSON lives in High Point, is the Christian mother of three sons and a member of High Point Democrats in Action.

Addictions, sins are extremely expensive

Dobson delivers last broadcast for ‘Focus on Family’ COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) – James Dobson made his last radio broadcast Friday for Focus on the Family, the conservative Christian ministry he founded 33 years ago and built into an influential political and social voice. “I have a lump in my throat, but God’s in control,� Dobson told listeners. Dobson, an outspoken opponent of abortion and gay marriage, has been gradually withdrawing from the organization, stepping down as president in 2003 and as chairman of the board last year. He

plans to start a new show, “Family Talk with James Dobson,� this spring. Dobson said Friday the new show isn’t competition for Focus on the Family, noting that Focus agreed to donate $1 million to help him start. “I’m not setting out to construct some magnificent organization like, frankly, this one is,� he said. “But I also do not believe the Lord is done using my voice in the culture and speaking to parents.� He said he’ll continue to speak out on family, marriage and public policy.

faithfulness, shameful conduct, sexual immorality, unrighteousness and wickedness. We all have been shocked and felt like we were walking through an emotional minefield as one blowup after another involving nationally known leaders and celebrities has occurred. Nobody has an exemption from this kind of rotten behavior. Every attempt has been made to excuse it, but none seems to work. It has involved senators, governors, would-be presidents, corporation executives, the greatest sports stars, ministers, college presidents, professors, nationally honored coaches, movie stars, musicians, bankers, editors, writers, doctors, lawyers – they are all included. Trying to clean up the messes created by ungodly living has cost trillions of dollars. Addictions and sins of all kinds have just about bankrupted our nation. We have reached the place where we are being compared with the two ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. The combined scholarly work of G. Frederick Own and associates has concluded: “The exact

location of these famous cities of God’s judgment and punishment remain unknown.â€? Every person who has any interest in knowing the truth about the tremendous cost of addictions and sins should read the first chapter of the letter of Paul to all who were in Rome during the first century when the people were about as sinful as we could ever imagine. He described the condition with these words: “For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men ‌ men with men committing what is shameful ‌â€? (Romans 1:26-27). For a clear understanding of these issues read carefully the first three chapters of Romans. We cannot escape the consequences of addiction or sin. God has clearly stated: â€œâ€Śyou may be sure that your sin will catch up with youâ€? (Numbers 32:23 TLB). Before you become enslaved by any kind of addiction or sin, be sure to “count the cost.â€? BILL ELLIS, P. O. Box 345, Scott Depot, WV 25560 | (304) 757-6089

ny day you pick up a newspaper or listen to radio and television news, you probably will hear stories about human habits and addictions that are extremely expensive. Such words as habit, dependency, craving, enslavement, obsession, habituation and the “monkey on your back� describe addiction. An addict, especially when related to illegal drugs, may be called a junkie, dopehead, freak, acidhead, methhead, cokehead, pothead and other slang or informal words. Sin is something that exists in its use as a noun. It is as something that is done in its verb form. We have, as a nation and civilization, tried to eliminate this concept from our vocabulary, but with minimal success. Sin, in any form, is rampant and destroying our nation and the world. Sin is defined as an offense, transgression, evil, crime, felony, immoral act, vice, wickedness and an affront to God. D. H. Lawrence called it “The breaking of one’s own integrity.� Martin Luther, the German theologian and leader of the Protestant Reformation that

There are considerable beneďŹ ts to being able to speak well. People who can present their ideas clearly, persuasively, and with conďŹ dence will usually be more successful than those who cannot.

You must continuously work on your skills so that your self-conďŹ dence is real and not illusory, and you have to continually encourage yourself. But, you also need to have a positive message. If you are going to be God’s mouthpiece, you’d better be sure you are speaking God’s message, and that requires knowing God’s word and living a holy life.

Opposition grows Challengers line up to face Coble in GOP primary BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Republican congressional challenger Cathy Brewer Hinson of High Point, it appears, was on the base of the wave of political challengers filing to run for office this year. Hinson, a furniture showroom manager who has served as an adjunct professor at area colleges, an-

nounced in November that she would run for the 6th Congressional District seat held for 26 years by Republican Rep. Howard Coble. At the time, Coble hadn’t faced a GOP primary challenger since his first campaign for the seat in 1984. Now Hinson is joined by four Piedmont Republican challengers in the 6th District primary May 4. Also facing Coble are Guilford

County Commissioner Billy Yow, Jeff Phillips of Greensboro, Jon Mangin of Stokesdale and Dr. James Taylor of Pinehurst. Phillips and Mangin filed late this week, with the candidate filing period concluding Friday. “The whole idea is to get people to wake up and get people to realize what’s going on. It’s a good thing,” Hinson said Friday about the number of Republicans in the race. The four challengers entering the contest since Hinson announced her candidacy hasn’t changed

her campaign strategy, she said. “I think I have the strongest platform,” said Hinson, whose positions include a lower level of general taxation, incentives to encourage hiring by small business and term limits for members of Congress. The 6th District Republican nominee will face Democrat Sam Turner of Salisbury in the Nov. 2 general election. In contrast to Coble, the other congressman representing High Point – Rep. Mel Watt, D-12th

– faces no primary opponent this spring, according to N.C. State Board of Elections reports. Three Republicans are vying for the 12th District nomination to take on Watt – William “Doc” Gillenwater of Greensboro, Scott Cumbie of Winston-Salem and Greg Dority, who lists a post office box address in Washington, N.C. The other candidate in the 12th District general election is Libertarian Lon Cecil of the High Point area.

HIGH POINT – A High Point nonprofit trying to beef up its anti-crime mission has received some good news. High Point Community Against Violence representatives learned recently that the organization has been granted a $12,000 gift from the Burlington-based Hayden-Harman Foundation. The money will help HPCAV hire an administrative assistant to work with its only current employee, Executive Director Jim Summey. The development comes at a key time for HPCAV, which is stepping up its role in working with chronic offenders who drive the majority of violent crime in the city. Last month, the City Council approved a contract with a New York firm that is part-

Summey said the New York company, America Works, which helps find work for people with criminal records and other hard-to-serve jobseekers, is expected to be in High Point by late March. The project will involve a partnership that includes area employers, probation and parole officials, prosecutors, police, human service agencies and others. “We will be mentoring, prodding, pushing and coaching them along,” said Summey. “It’s an investment in that person. We’re trying to get them to a level so by their work and their responsibility, they can get back in and really have input back into the community – paying taxes, being responsible, no more offending, all that stuff.” pkimbrough@hpe.com 888-3531

Plain daisy becomes landscaping swan I

n past years, coreopsis daisy has been a little noticed, relatively plain daisy like annual flower for landscapes with few options for colors for the landscape palette. But recent coreopsis breeding by Terra Nova Nurseries in Oregon has brought the simple daisy to the forefront of landscape variety and beauty. This nursery has been working overtime to produce a startling range of new colors to the coreopsis world with 23 new varieties. They have divided the new plants into five series based on their hardiness, blooming time and landscape use. The “Hardy” series has a great mounding habit with compact plants that don’t flop open. The colors are strong and vibrant and are hardy

to zone 6 for the first hardy selection known. There are six colors in this series: ‘Cranberry Ice’ has cranberry ECOLOGY colored flowers with a white Gwyn edge. It blooms Riddick all summer and ■■■ is good in beds or containers. “Autumn Blush” has two inch strawberry-eyed, butter yellow flowers but they change to strawberry pink color with cool fall temperatures. Hence its name is appropriate for the fall season as it has continuous flower production. Other colors are “Gold Nugget,” “Snowberry,” “Pinwheel,” and “Moonlight.”

The “Punch” Series gives six months of color. The flowers form perfect mounds of self-cleaning flowers. The colors fit their names of Rum Punch, Mango punch, Lemon Punch, Strawberry Punch and Fruit Punch, which has cheerful blooms of deep rosy pink eyes surrounded by white picotees. The “Lemonade” Series is very unique with its threadlike golden foliage all season contrasted with flashy vivid flower colors. For example, Cherry Lemonade has bright lemon-gold foliage with deep red six petaled flowers above the foliage creating a chromatic effect. Others in the series are Pink Lemonade, Strawberry lemonade and Tropical Lemonade. The “Pie” Series has fall like

colors of gold, orange and reds with contrasting eye colors. Their names depict their delicious colors of Cherry Pie, Pineapple Pie, Pumpkin Pie and Little Penny, which is a beautiful copper bronze with a yellow eye. The “Jewel” Series has real garden gem colors of golden Citrine, Garnet and Ruby Frost. These Jewels may offer an exciting new unique option to gardeners to replace fall mums. They have a fresh flush of brilliant color during the long days of summer into the fall. This coreopsis is easy to grow, low maintenance with a compact habit and add sparkling mounds of color in the landscape. Use them in containers, colorful borders or mixed plantings. They are

Dear Abby: My daughter “Kayley” has been asking me to set up a playdate for her and her

Dear At A Loss: Stop making excuses and invite Julie to play at your home. When Julie’s mother offers to reciprocate, tell her – sweetly – that you prefer playdates be at your home. Period. Do not be defensive about it, just firm. P.S. You may be worried over nothing because Julie’s mother may not make that offer you’re dreading. Dear Abby: My husband, “Ben,” is a loving, caring, big- hearted and sincere man, but I have a problem with the way he presents himself in public. His clothing is frequently stained, wrinkled and ill-fitting, and he doesn’t seem to care. He even wears clothing with holes and rips. Some of his clothes look like they haven’t seen a washing machine in weeks because they’re so stained. I have bought Ben new clothes, but most of the time he puts them away

and wears his old, beatup and grubby things. He gets upset and defensive when I bring it up. Other people have commented about the way he looks and, frankly, sometimes I’m embarrassed to be seen with him. He’s a great guy and I don’t want to hurt his feelings, but this really bothers me. I don’t want him to look like a fashion plate, but neat and clean would be good. Any ideas on how to deal with this? – Disappointed With Disheveled Dear Disappointed: I do have one. Rather than buying your husband any more clothes he doesn’t wear, take him shopping and have him select some items in which he would feel comfortable.

Dear Not Ready: Your girlfriend may not be as interested in having sex with you as she may be in doing what she thinks you may expect from her. That’s why you should have a talk with her and tell her that, at this point, you don’t think you are ready. You may find she’s relieved to hear it. Because you find this subject too delicate to talk to both your parents about, I recommend you bring it up with one of them – your father, perhaps. You don’t have to start the talk by announcing that you’re being pressured into sex. Instead, start out by saying there is talk around your school about the number of kids who are having sex and you’d like to talk about it. If he isn’t comfortable with discussing this with you – and I’m pretty sure that won’t be the case – then talk to a counselor at school about the fact that you need some direction.

I thought I smelled alcohol on her father’s breath when we were at the playground, and he also said some things that seemed inappropriate. I’ve been avoiding the playdate request because I know if we invite Julie, she will probably invite my daughter to her house to reciprocate. I don’t think I can leave Kayley at their house. I keep making up excuses, but Kayley is persistent.

Saturday, Feb. 27, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Josh Groban, 29; Chelsea Clinton, 30; Rozonda ’Chilli’ Thomas, 39; Elizabeth Taylor, 78 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: There will be plenty to contend with regarding work and dealing with colleagues, superiors and institutions. Emotional blackmail is apparent, so stick to the truth. Use your energy wisely and build your base on solid ground. This can be a great year but only if you play a straight game. Your numbers are 2, 9, 20, 26, 31, 34, 48 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do something nice for yourself that will help you relax and enjoy home and family. You will accomplish more if you feel rested and have had time to mull over your plans for the immediate future. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t fall for a good sell job when you know better. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably won’t work. Stick to your budget regardless of the temptations around you. Don’t let your emotions take over. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Avoid making promises you may not want to deliver. Someone you are trying to impress will take advantage of your vulnerable position. Focus on home, family and improving your surroundings. A short trip will lead to a good buy. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t just sit there when you can be doing so much to improve your life, your position and your future. Love is in the stars and spending time with someone special will lead to a much better relationship. Make and accept change. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be honest, attentive and willing to meet the demands put on you by someone you find intriguing. You can make money but don’t do so at the expense of someone who is counting on you. A trip may be enticing but it won’t bring you the hoped-for results. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): An opportunity to share something special with someone you care for will lead to a larger commitment and future plans. Enforce ground rules and push for what you feel will bring you the greatest return. Partnerships and team efforts will pay off. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Stop procrastinating before you miss out on something good. You are the only one holding you back. Take whatever you have done and launch it as is and the help you need finishing what you started will appear. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take advantage of what’s being offered. Don’t be so suspicious; just do your homework and move forward swiftly. A change in the romance department will be unexpected but will lead to a much happier union. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be intuitive but that may not be enough. If you have been difficult to deal with in the past, expect to face some tough questions about your intentions. Your charm will not help you get away with lies or exaggerating the truth. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Thoughts should be followed by actions but, before you take a leading role, figure out what everyone is up to. Better to be safe than sorry. Take your past experience into account in order to make the right choice now. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s time to lay your cards on the table. By opening up, you will be able to gain the trust and understanding of someone who can help you achieve your goals. Your intuition won’t let you down. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Follow through with any promise you have made, regardless of how tough it might be. Your reputation will suffer if you don’t hold up your end of a bargain. Love is in the stars, so put aside time for romancing. ★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

This week’s deals have treated “avoidance” technique: keeping a “dangerous” defender from gaining the lead. Test your “avoidance” by covering today’s EastWest cards. West leads the jack of spades against your game contract. East plays the eight, and since you don’t want East to win a spade trick to lead a club through your A-Q, you refuse the trick. West shifts to a diamond. How do you play? HIGH RUFF You still don’t want East to get in too soon, hence take the ace of diamonds and finesse in trumps. If West wins and leads another diamond, and East takes the king and returns a diamond, you can ruff high, draw trumps and discard two clubs on the good diamonds. You lose a spade, a trump and a diamond. The actual declarer erred when he won the first spade and let the jack of diamonds ride. (He’d have failed even if he had led trumps from his hand at the second trick.) East took the king and shifted to the jack of clubs, and South was sure to lose a trick in each suit.

Achilles tendon slow to heal

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I have played in a men’s basketball league for the past five years. This year, for the second time, I have come down with Achilles tendinitis, and I have had to stop playing. A sports trainer happens to be on my team, and he suggests I get a new treatment consisting of platelet injections. Have you heard of this? If you have, what is your opinion? – M.L.

BLONDIE

The Achilles tendon is the body’s strongest and thickest tendon. It connects calf muscles to the heel bone. When the calf muscles contract, the tendon lifts the heel off the ground. Achilles tendinitis implies inflammation. Tendon inflammation was believed to be the problem. Overuse inflames the tendon and produces pain, swelling and stiffness. Today “tendonitis” has been changed to “tendinopathy,” which indicates that overuse has caused tiny tears in the tendon, and that, in turn, has led to tendon degeneration. All tendons have a poor blood supply, so they heal slowly. That’s especially true of the Achilles tendon. The fact is that it takes time for tendons to heal, and not much can be done to speed the process. Injections of plateletrich plasma have been introduced as a therapy for speeding up tendon healing. Platelets are small blood cells essential to clot formation. They also contain substances that promote growth, and

Early reports presented this treatment in a favorable light. A recent report from the Netherlands, however, has thrown some cold water on it. I don’t know which view is the correct one. The injections won’t hurt you, but they might not help, either. The standard treatment and prevention of Achilles tendinitis consists of wearing shoes that absorb the shock of landing on your feet when running and jumping, using heel lifts, taking Tylenol or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine and resting. Stretching the tendon, when it is pain-free, can prevent a third injury.

Two or three cups before exercise are the amount suggested for prolonging endurance. One or two 200 mg caffeine tablets would produce a similar effect. Caffeine isn’t a banned substance, but urine levels greater than 15 micrograms per milliliter could disqualify a competitor in races sponsored by some governing authorities. It takes six to eight cups of coffee before an event to produce such a level. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am curious about my exercise program.

HPU men want to stay home T

rying to lock down fourth place and a home game in next week’s Big South tournament, High Point University’s men have one huge thing going for them as the regular season comes to an end tonight. The Panthers, who have been one of the best teams in the league at home and one of the worst on the road, will be in the Millis Center when they face SPORTS last-place PresbyGreer terian (7 Smith p.m. tip). ■■■ “I’d love the opportunity to put all this energy and enthusiasm and how well we play at home and take it with us in a bottle on the road because for whatever reason we don’t have the same type of game,” Cherry said Thursday after the Panthers defeated Winthrop, 71-65. “I know why. It’s hard to get out guys to understand they need to have the same kind of focus on the road as they do when they play in front of fans with all that energy at home.” And the Panthers (14-13, 9-8 Big South) could be playing on the road in a first-round tournament game next Tuesday. Even with a defeat of the Blue Hose on Senior Night, HPU can finish no better than fifth if UNC Asheville (10-7) defeats visiting Gardner-Webb tonight. But, if Asheville loses to a Running Bulldog team trying to get into the tournament, while HPU and Liberty (also currently 9-8) win to create a threeway tie at 10-8, HPU would get the fourth seed on the strength of its win over conference regular-season champ Coastal Carolina. With a loss, HPU could fall to as low as sixth if Liberty wins at Charleston Southern. “I was hoping we would take care of business at Liberty and then we would have our fate in our hands,” Cherry said. “Unfortunately, we left it up to someone else’s game and it’s going to be tough because Gardner-Webb has to go on the road to Asheville. Asheville has a lot on its

Panther women seek fourth straight win. 4C mind but so does Garnder-Webb. So that may help. But, we can’t worry about that. If we don’t take care of business then whatever everybody else does doesn’t make any difference.” HPU wound seem to have the easier matchup against the Blue Hose. With his team likely to be sky high wanting to win the final home game for seniors Eugene Harris and Cruz Daniels, Cherry is trying not to take anything for granted even though the Panthers got one of their two conference wins away from home when they defeated Presbyterian 63-61 in December. HPU has beaten everyone in the conference except VMI so far this season in the Millis Center. “The second game of the Thursday-Saturdays have even been a challenge for us this season, even at home,” Cherry said. “I think our guys will be fired up wanting to send the seniors out on a high note in the last regular season game at home. Hopefully, we’ll get another home game to play in front of our crowd, but we won’t entirely decide that.” Presbyterian is led by 6-4 sophomore guard Chase Holmes, who is scoring 15.1 points in Big South games. Jake Troyli, a 6-9 freshman power forward, averages 12.4 points and 5.3 rebounds. The 5-25 Blue Hose are just 2-15 in the league, but have lost to Radford by four, Charleston Southern by six, Liberty by three, Asheville by three in overtime and Gardner-Webb by one. “Presbyterian has been in a lot of close games and lost a lot of close games,” Cherry said. “They have a lot of young guys who can play. They’ve been giving teams fits. We can’t take them lightly. We can’t assume we are going to win because we won down there or because they are in last place in the league.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Victory ends HPCA’s magical tourney run BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – High Point Christian Academy ran into a buzzsaw in the form of red-hot Victory Christian Friday night in the semifinals of the NCISAA 2A playoffs. The Kings (19-18) defeated HPCA 73-43 a night after beating the Cougars’ crosstown rival Westchester Country Day School with a buzzer-beater in overtime. Apparently still on an adrenaline rush from the night before, Victory built a 23point lead by the five-minute mark in the second quarter and led 36-8 at halftime. “It really did,” Kings guard Lloyd Simmons said of the carryover his team’s stunning overtime victory provided Friday. “I was really excited about this game tonight and we kind of rode that, came out and played hard.” Simmons had 11 points in the first half, including three buckets from beyond the arc, and finished with 13. By setting the tone early with a rhythmic jumper and lockdown defense, Simmons and the rest of Victory’s defenders overwhelmed the Cougars with their size and athleticism. “They’re just so much bigger than we are,” Cougars’ coach Brandon Clifford said. “Our game plan was to take away

the basket and force them to make 3s. They started making 3s. When we tried to take away the 3s, they punished us at the basket. “I’m proud of our guys. We’ve met every challenge, exceeded expectations all year long. We just ran into a better basketball team tonight.” In stark contrast to the Kings’ effective shooting, High Point Christian could not find the range from outside. Two of the Cougars’ better shooters, Jordan Nix-Denmark and Joseph McManus, were held to six points apiece. NixDenmark did not score his first points until he knocked down a 3-point jumper in the opening minute of the second half. Mitchell Oates led the Cougars with 13. Josh Clymer paced Victory with a gamehigh 16 points and Montarius Hall added 13. High Point Christian concludes an impressive season with a record of 15-18 and finishes somewhat surprisingly as the last High Point private school to fall. “We have guys who have heart and character. I think that makes a difference,” McManus said. “It starts at the top with coach Clifford and the fans. You saw them tonight. We were getting blown out at halftime, but they were right there. They’ve helped us believe in ourselves.”

I

’m a huge fan of the science fiction “B” movies of the 1950s and ‘60s. Those always entertaining, sometimes cheesy films often featured a scene in which the stern-faced scientist uttered a statement along these lines: “We should be OK, unless...” Of course, the words that followed “unless” generally proved prophetic, creating tons of sci-fi suspense and movie mayhem. I’m reminded of that fact as I look at today’s North Carolina at Wake Forest matchup.

The Demon Deacons (18-7, 8-5 ACC) will stay on track for an NCAA Tournament atlarge bid and the Tar Heels (14-14, 3-10) will remain out of the NCAA at-large conversation unless... •The Deacons suffer a stunning upset loss at home, then lose at Florida State on Wednesday night and fall to visiting Clemson on March 7 to close the regular season. That would leave Wake at 18-10, 8-8 and squarely on the NCAA bubble. •The Tar Heels, meanwhile, follow their shocker over the Deacs with a home win

over Miami on Wednesday night, then stun Duke in Durham on March 6 to close the regular season at 17-14, 6-10. Toss in three impressive ACC Tournament victories and, voila, UNC crashes the Big Dance as an atlarge invitee. I know. This scenario is highly, highly unlikely. But it is possible. And that’s another reason the ACC combines the best of “B” movies and Grade A men’s basketball.

Red Raiders fall in double OT BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Carver senior guard Matt Colon watched intently as his floater from the middle of the lane went around and around the basket, twice looking as if it might rim out. “I was just watching and hoping that it went it,” Colon said. The ball finally went through the net with 2.6 seconds to play, providing the go-ahead points as the Yellow Jackets topped T. Wingate Andrews 58-56 in an NCHSAA 2A double-overtime sectional final after the Red Raiders squandered a 14-point first-half lead. “I didn’t want this to be my last game,” Colon said. “I had to step up and make the shot and it went in.” Carver coach Daniel Piggot and Colon said the play was designed for another senior, Richard Daniels, to take the shot, After the Red Raiders kept Daniels from getting the ball, Colon got it and went toward the basket. “(Daniels) had the ball and I think he got a little apprehensive about getting a five count,” Piggot said. “He gave it up and they did a good job denying him the ball. Matt doesn’t shy away from anything. He came hard to the ball and went to the rim and was fortunate enough to get it to go in the hole.” Andrews, which scored just three points in the second extra period, went ahead for the last time at

56-55 when Jamie Smith sank a layup with 42 seconds left. Carver then ran the clock down until Colon made the last of his game-high 23 points. The Yellow Jackets’ Albert Wright intercepted the Red Raiders’ inbounds desperation heave into the front court. Wright was fouled and made one of two free throws for the final margin as Andrews finished the season 17-8. “We had our chances,” Andrews coach James Abell said. “It was a little bit of fatigue and a little bit of nerves. This is the first time some of our guys have been in that big of a game. We had some shots there at the end. Ours rolled out and theirs rolled in. That was about it.” Through the middle of the second quarter, there was no sign a nail-biting finish would be in the offing. The Red Raiders stormed to a 17-8 lead at the end of the first quarter and extended the margin to 14 with 3:31 left in the second quarter. Carver started scratching back by scoring six straight points. “We had a few mental laps and didn’t get back on defense and that got them right back in the game,” Abell said. Carver cut the deficit to eight at the half and trailed 45-36 at the end of the quarter. But they put the pressure on the Red Raiders by scoring six straight points to open the fourth quarter while Smith was out of the game while being treated or a leg injury suffered going for a loose ball late in the

HPU women target fourth straight win BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

U.S. matches medal record THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – So these won’t be remembered as the Vonn-couver Olympics after all. It’s looking like they will belong to the entire U.S. delegation instead. With 32 medals already won, and two more guaranteed, the Americans already have matched their most medals at any Winter Olympics, and there are 26 events left to add to their collection. How’s this for fitting: The record could be brought down by the most decorated U.S. Winter Olympian of all-time, Apolo Anton Ohno, who was competing in two short-track speedskating events later Friday. The U.S. didn’t actually win any medals during the day Friday, but the men’s hockey team and the men’s team pursuit team in speedskating are locks for the weekend. Both advanced to gold-medal matches in which they can get no

worse than silver. The hockey team scored six times in the first period of its semifinal against Finland, then cruised to a 6-1 victory. Next up is the winner of the SlovakiaCanada game later Friday. The speedskaters locked up a top prize by knocking off Sven Kramer and the Dutch in a semifinal race. Vonn was supposed to win all sorts of Alpine medals. Although she is going home with a gold and a bronze, she also had three DNFs for failing to finish her other events, including the slalom on Friday. Injuries certainly took a toll, from a broken right pinkie to a collection of bruises from chin to shin. But she refused to give up, which may be the bottom line on her performance at these games. Vonn’s close friend Maria Riesch won the event for her second gold in Vancouver and the ninth for Germany. Also Friday, Ole Einar Bjoerndalen of Norway added to his tre-

mendous Olympics resume by anchoring Norway’s victory in the men’s biathlon relay. This was his first gold medal since sweeping all four events in 2002, and the 11th medal of his career. That leaves him one behind Bjorn Daehlie’s Winter Games record of 12.

MEN’S HOCKEY Ryan Malone, Zach Parise, Erik Johnson and Patrick Kane all scored in the first 10:08, sending Finland goalie Miikka Kiprusoff to the bench.

BOBSLED Steve Holcomb and his sleek, black four-man bobsled known as the “Night Train” are halfway to gold. Officially known as USA-1, the sled set track records on both its runs, putting it in first place going into the last two heats tonight. The United States hasn’t won this race since 1948.

DCCC ‘Storms’ into tourney final BY ELIOT DUKE SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

LEXINGTON – When Davidson County Community College is hitting its shots from the outside, opponents don’t stand much of a chance. Just ask Central Carolina Community College. In Friday evening’s Region X Division III Tarheel Conference tournament semifinal at Brinkley gymnasium, DCCC rained in baskets from all over the court to drown the Cougars, 92-75, putting the Storm just one win away from a new chapter in the program’s young history. DCCC will play the winner of the Southwest Virginia Community College/ Caldwell College matchup in today’s 3 p.m. tourney final. Should the Storm win, they would host the District 7 championship game for the first time next Saturday with a trip to the national tournament at stake. “We all competed at a high level,” Storm coach Matt Ridge said. “We really bought into blocking out and rebounding. When we play defense and rebound we’re pretty good. This is only half of what we

came here to do this weekend.” DCCC came out the gates sizzling. In less than eight minutes, the Storm drained five 3s with Kimani Hunt knocking down a pair for a 20-7 DCCC lead. The next several minutes turned into a game between players wearing the No. 5. CCCC’s Jerome Perkins scored 11 straight Cougar points while Phillip Williams poured in 19 of the Storm’s next 23 points. Justin Glover’s break away dunk as time expired sent DCCC into halftime leading 47-33. Four different players made a 3-pointer for the Storm in the first 20 minutes. “Coach told me before the game that if we push the ball we can be unstoppable,” said Williams. “We have three shooters, and they made it easy for me. I have so many great players around me. I knew if I could penetrate they would collapse on me so I just looked for my teammates spotting up at the 3-point line.” Williams, who scored 20 of his game-high 32 points in the first half, injured his left knee after shooting a pair of free throws with nine seconds remaining the first half, but did return. “Phillip is a warrior,” Ridge said. “I had no idea he scored

32 points. He also held one of the best players in the league, Travis Jackson, to just 12 points.” DCCC opened the second half outscoring the Cougars 8-2 to build a 20-point advantage. Eric Potts answered a 3-point play from Perkins with two quick buckets, including a two-handed jam for a 59-38 Storm lead. DCCC appeared ready to blow out CCCC, but the Cougars seemed to get a turnover or 3-pointer to keep the game within reach. CCCC closed the gap to 12 a few times but never managed to get the deficit under double-figures. Reco Geter’s 3pointer with 56 seconds remaining all but ended things. Geter finished with 20 points and Glover added 16 despite foul trouble. Hunt posted a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds. DCCC out-rebounded the Cougars 50-44. Perkins led CCCC with 27 points and Anthony Newby scored 18. Before the game, Glover, Potts, and Hunt were named to the Region X All-Conference team. Williams and Robbie Rives were selected to the second team, and Matt Ridge was named the Region X Coach of the Year.

Glover’s sac fly lifts HPU, 7-6 SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – Freshman Scott Glover had a pinchhit sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth to lift High Point University over Fairleigh Dickinson 7-6 on Friday at Williard Stadium. Glover sent a 3-1 pitch from FDU’s Spencer Kelly deep enough to right field to score Nate Roberts from third base for his first career RBI. Kelly got the loss for the Knights, while junior Corey Swickle improved to 2-0 on the season for HPU. High Point improves to 2-2, while the Knights fall to 0-1. The teams will meet today at 2 p.m. at Williard Stadium. Sophomore Al Yevoli will make his second start for the Panthers while sophomore Ray Courtney will take the mound for FDU. Kyle Mahoney finished 2-4 with a walk and two runs scored and Max Fulginiti went 2-3 with three RBIs. Murray White IV was 2-5 with an RBI and a run scored, as he leads the team with six hits on the season. High Point staked starting pitcher Jamie Serber to a 2-0 lead in the first inning. White extended his hitting streak to a career-high four games with a single in the first inning. After stealing second, he advanced to third when Roberts reached on an error by the second baseman. With runners on the corners Mahoney lined out to the right fielder, allowing White to score. Roberts stole his third base of the season and scored on a double to left center by senior Matt Gantner. The Panthers tacked on one run each in the second and third innings to lead 4-0.

Team USA’s Phil Kessel (81), Joe Pavelski (16) and Ryan Malone celebrate a goal by Malone in the first period of a men’s semifinal ice hockey game against Finland at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia on Friday. The Americans cruised 6-1 to advance to Sunday’s gold-medal final against the Canada-Slovakia winner.

HIGH POINT – Streaky is one word head coach Tooey Loy uses to describe the season so far for his High Point University women’s basketball team. The Panthers are currently on the positive side of the ledger in their current run, seeking a fourth straight victory today in pursuit of at least the third seed in the Big South Tournament as they travel to Winthrop (4 p.m. tip). “It’s an important game for us, not only for tournament seeding but also to keep playing the way we’ve been playing the last three games,” Loy said. “The team has bought into what it takes to be good. We’ve had three home games in a row and did a good job, now we need to go on the road and do the same things.” The Panthers (16-11, 9-5 Big South) current streak came after a fourgame losing skid in the league that cost them any chance of living up to a preseason poll that picked them to win the conference title. Before what Loy calls “the bump in the road,” HPU won 11 of 13. “We peaked in midJanuary and then had some parts of our team that weren’t doing things that they were doing when we were good,” Loy said. “We had some kids doing a great job

rebounding and defending and then started focusing on scoring. We did what teams do when they get in slumps. We just needed to redefine our roles in order to be successful.” To be successful against Winthrop, Loy believes the Panthers must run enough to keep the Eagles from dictating a slow tempo. Winthrop (10-16, 4-8 Big South), which at times has started four players 6-feet or taller, averages scoring 51 points per game, next-to-last in the league. HPU, which is averaging 68 points, topped the Eagles 69-60 in their previous meeting. “They are a big physical, team,” Loy said. “They always try to slow it down against us and make it a half-court game and try to pound it inside. Here, we did do a good job of running it, but they did hurt us on the boards. But, we got enough stops and got out in transition enough to get a win.” By winning their two remaining games, the 95 Panthers would be assured of third and would get second at 11-5 if 10-2 Liberty loses all four of its games. HPU and Liberty close the regular season at the Vines Center on March 8. By losing both of its remaining games, HPU would drop to fourth if 7-6 Charleston Southern wins all three of its remaining games.

Dell plant to stay open through July MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WINSTON-SALEM —Dell Inc. will continue to operate its computerassembly plant in Forsyth County through the end of July, Dave Plyler, the chairman of the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners, said this morning. Plyler said a Dell official called him and said that because the company experienced a good fourth quarter and was seeing an increased demand for its product, the plant here would not close in April as had been earlier announced. It was the second extension that

Dell has granted since the company announced last year that the local plant would close by the end of January. The first extension, through the end of April, allowed employees who had been scheduled for layoff to keep on working and retain their severance packages when they left work in April. David Frink, a Dell spokesman, said that the decision is based on Dell’s need to “balance its global manufacturing capacity to meet customer needs.” “Employees who elect to stay through July will be paid for their work and receive a retention bonus,” Frink said. “Employees who

elect to leave will receive their retention bonus from our initial extension, as well as their severance package.” Dell has about 505 jobs at the plant in southeastern Forsyth County. Dell eliminated about 400 of its 905 jobs at the plant in November as part of its plans to close the plant. The initial plant closing was set for around Jan. 20, but the closing was delayed in December to April 30. The plant opened in 2005 with the help of $26.5 million in incentives. Employment peaked at 1,100.

PepsiCo finishes buyout of 2 bottlers PURCHASE, N.Y. – PepsiCo says it has closed the deal to buy its two biggest bottlers – a move that’s expected to shake up the beverage industry. The $7.8 billion buyout of Pepsi Bottling Group and PepsiAmericas will allow the nation’s second-largest drink maker to try out more new products and get them to market more quickly. The deal, first announced in August, is also a way for PepsiCo to save money.

JetBlue returns to air after IT glitch NEW YORK – JetBlue says a technical issue with its central computer system that led to an hour-long grounding of flights nationwide has been resolved. Flights were temporarily grounded at around 2:45 p.m. Friday and the issue was resolved just before 3:45 p.m. The carrier had already canceled most of its flights out of the New York area Friday due to a snowstorm.

Credit rates fall after housing report CHARLOTTE – Interest rates fell in the bond market Friday after another surprisingly weak economic reading. The National Association of Realtors said sales of existing homes fell for the second straight month. Analysts expected the trade group to report that sales rose. The report is the second downbeat assessment of the housing market in three days, and added to concerns about the economy. The Commerce Department said Wednesday that new home sales fell last month.

Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan (right) arrives for a special meeting for Bank of America shareholders in Charlotte Tuesday.

BofA doles out more than $32,000 to ex-CEO NEW YORK (AP) – Former Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis received a compensation package valued at $32,171 in 2009 as the bank struggled with loan losses and repaid billions in federal bailout money, according to an Associated Press analysis of a regulatory filing disclosed Friday. That modest sum is more than offset by Lewis’ accumulated compensation and retirement benefits, which totals $73 million, according to a preliminary filing disclosed to the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, Lewis’ beneficiary will receive a

$10.3 million life insurance payment upon the death of Lewis and his wife. Lewis, who stepped down as CEO on Dec. 31, received no salary or bonus last year. His compensation was limited to perks including tax services, home security and parking, according to the filing. Lewis’ 2008 compensation was valued at $9 million. He resigned after almost a year of strife that followed the bank’s purchase of Merrill Lynch. He was succeeded as CEO by Brian Moynihan, formerly head of the bank’s consumer banking division. Moynihan’s 2009 com-

pensation, including salary and stock awards, was valued at $6.03 million, up 32 percent over 2008, according to the filing. Both Lewis’ and Moynihan’s pay was dwarfed by the bank’s head of global banking and markets, Tom Montag, whose 2009 pay was valued at $29.9 million. The bulk of Montag’s pay was in restricted stock. Bank of America said Montag’s stock award was a “contractual commitment” made by Merrill Lynch, which hired Montag in April 2008 before the company being acquired by Bank of America.

Oil prices settle near $80 NEW YORK (AP) – Oil prices hit $80 a barrel Friday to end a wild trading week that saw prices swing in the opposite direction every day. Crude barrels have wavered between $70 and $80 all year, and the latest batch of economic reports failed to give a

clear picture of when energy demand in the U.S. would pick up. The Energy Information Administration said the country has started consuming more petroleum over the past few weeks. It also said the U.S. is still working off a hefty crude surplus built

up during the recession. And gasoline contracts slid this week as a refinery strike ended in France. The U.S., which imports much of its fuel from Europe, still has larger-than-average supplies of both motor gasoline and distillate fuels like diesel.

Fannie Mae seeks $15 billion in aid

Economic recovery loses steam WASHINGTON (AP) – The recovery is losing steam. The economy is now likely expanding at just half the brisk 5.9 percent pace at which the government on Friday estimated it grew last quarter. Business spending will make up for some of a slowdown in consumer spending – but not likely enough to reduce the jobless rate much. All that adds up to a long slog ahead for an economy trying to get back on firm footing after the worst recession since the 1930s. The economy continues to grow. But it won’t feel like much of a recovery this year amid high unemployment, record-high home foreclosures and tight credit. Stuart Hoffman, chief economist

at PNC Financial Services Group, called the year-end growth spurt “a one-hit wonder.” In a fresh reading on the nation’s economic standing, the Commerce Department bumped up its growth estimate for the final quarter of 2009, from a 5.7 percent growth rate estimated a month ago. It was the strongest showing in six years. Roughly two-thirds of the growth came from a burst of manufacturing – but not because consumer demand was especially strong. In fact, consumer spending weakened at the end of the year, even more than the government first thought. If consumer spending remains lackluster as expected, that burst

of manufacturing – and its contribution to economic activity – will fade. The signs aren’t hopeful. Consumer confidence took an unexpected dive in February, and unemployment stands at 9.7 percent. After losing his job in October, Kevin Young, 44, has been cutting back on spending. Two weeks ago, he disconnected his cable service. Before that, he cut his cell phone plan and car insurance to the minimum. “I don’t go out at all,” said Young, who’s attending Washington University in St. Louis in the evenings to earn his certification in project management.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Fannie Mae needs another $15 billion in federal assistance, bringing its total to more than $75 billion. And worse, the mortgage finance company warned its losses will continue this year. The rescue of Fannie Mae and sister company Freddie Mac is turning out to be one of the most expensive aftereffects of the financial meltdown. The new request means the total bill for the duo will top $126 billion. And the pain isn’t over. Fannie warned Friday that it will need even

more money from the Treasury, as unemployment remains high and millions of Americans lose their homes through foreclosure. Fannie Mae reported Friday that it lost $74.4 billion, or $13.11 a share, last year, including $2.5 billion in dividends paid to the government. That compares with a loss of $59.8 billion, or $24 a share, a year earlier. Fannie Mae, which was seized by federal regulators in September 2008, has racked up losses totaling $136.8 billion over the past three year.

Home sales ahead of ’09 level MIAMI (AP) – Home sales in the South posted an annual increase of 8 percent in January as buyers grabbed hold of federal tax credits and affordable prices. However, sales plummeted 35 percent from December, a sign that the housing market’s recovery may be on shaky ground. The median sales price of previously owned homes was $140,200, a decrease of 2 percent from January last year, the National As-

sociation of Realtors reported Friday. Nationally, there were 275,000 homes sold, a 33 percent decrease from December, but up 7 percent from year-ago levels, without adjusting for seasonal factors. The national median sales price was $164,700, unchanged from last January. The year-over-year increase in was driven by low prices, government incentives, and mortgage rates that have hovered near 5 percent.

White House social secretary leaving WASHINGTON – White House social secretary Desiree Rogers is stepping down three months after an uninvited couple crashed the Obama administration’s first state dinner and she was heavily criticized for her role in allowing the embarrassing episode to happen. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Rogers was neither forced out nor asked to leave. He also said he didn’t think the dustup over the state dinner factored into her decision.

NY Gov. Paterson bows out of race ny of distractions that prompted him to end his campaign, but said he had never abused his office. “But I am being realistic about politics,” he said. “It hasn’t been the latest distraction. It’s been an accumulation of obstacles that have obfuscated me from bringing my message to the public.”

NEW YORK (AP) – Less than a week after declaring he would seek a full four-year term, New York Gov. David Paterson abruptly dropped his election bid Friday under pressure from fellow Democrats concerned about his faltering agenda and his handling of a domestic abuse case involving a trusted aide. Paterson cited a lita-

Paterson insisted that he would not resign and pledged to serve out his term “fighting for the state of New York.” Paterson became governor in 2008, when former Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigned in a prostitution scandal. But during his two-year tenure, he seemed to be overwhelmed by one crisis after another: a bungled

appointment to an open U.S. Senate seat, a budget standoff with the state Legislature, and, just this week, a damaging New York Times report, which said the governor and a member of his security detail had contacted a woman pressing an abuse charge against a top Paterson aide. On Friday, he said he would be vindicated.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Shamu is big business at SeaWorld, which owns more killer whales than anyone else in the world and builds the orca image into its multimillion-dollar brand, and the killing of a trainer this week won’t change that. Shamu shows will resume today, three days after a six-ton bull orca dragged Dawn Brancheau underwater to her death at the end of a show in Orlando, SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment President Jim Atchison said Friday. But staff at the for-profit parks in Orlando, San Antonio and San Diego won’t get back in the water with the hulking ocean predators until SeaWorld and a panel of outside experts complete a top-to-bottom review of how the company handles orcas. “We have created an extraordinary opportunity for people to get an up-close, personal experience and be inspired and connect with marine life in a way they cannot do anywhere else in the world,” Atchison said as orcas swam behind him on the other side of an underwater window, “and for that we will make no apologies.” SeaWorld owns 25 of the 42 orcas in captivity.

Police find body of missing actor VANCOUVER – Vancouver police say “Growing Pains” actor Andrew Koenig has been found dead. At a press conference in the downtown park where his body was found, police said foul play was not suspected, but would not release a cause of death because the coroner is still investigating. The actor’s father, Walter Koenig, said his son “took his own life.” Walter Koenig played Pavel Chekov on the original “Star Trek” TV series. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

3rd blizzard this month smacks East ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) – A slowmoving winter storm smacked the Northeast on Friday, unleashing heavy snow, rain and hurricaneforce winds as it knocked out power to more than a million homes and businesses. It turned Maine beachfront streets into rivers and

piled on the misery in places hit by three major blizzards in less than a month. Every form of travel was miserable if not impossible. More than 1,000 flights were canceled, bus service across northern New Jersey was knocked out and roads from

Ohio to West Virginia to Maine were closed. State troopers used snowmobiles to reach motorists stranded for hours on an eastern New York highway. “We’re buried,” said Graham Foster, highway superintendent in the town of Wappinger.

Community leaders earn recognition I

love to tell you things that you can’t read anywhere else. Couple that with the fact that I love to tell you about special people in our community and – “voila!â€? – I have this week’s column. High Point Chamber of Commerce recently held its annual meeting, hosted by the Rotary Club of High Point, at High Point Country Club. Like other annual meetings, it is the time that the gavel is passed from the outgoing chair (Charles Cain) to ABOUT the incomTOWN ing chair Mary (Owen Bogest Bertschi). There is a recap of the year, sometimes good sometimes not so good and then there are the awards ... always good. After the welcome by Rotary President Mark Pierce and a moving invocation by Rotarian extraordinaire Max Meeks, the annual meeting was under way. and three awards were given to three very special people. The first one, the High Point Champion of Free Enterprise, won’t surprise you. This award is rarely given and is representative of a person’s collective contribution to our community. Past award winners include two men I am proud to call my friends. They are Plato Wilson and Bill Horney (here’s a kiss for you). This year’s recipient, likewise is a friend ‌ oh, but he is a friend to all High Pointers. Since he retired from WFMR on Jan. 1, Max Meeks has become a media “darlingâ€? on television, in the newspapers, in addition to his coveted medium – radio. He has been feted and honored. He was awarded the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, the highest honor given by the state of North Carolina, and Mayor Becky Smothers presented him a key to the city, the highest honor that High Point bestows. Chamber President Tom Dayvault said Meeks has been the greatest single ambassador of free enterprise as â– â– â–

the “voice of High Point.â€? Congratulations goes to Meeks and a personal message to Max, “I need my ‘Max hug!’ â€? The Distinguished Citizen of the Year Award is presented each year to ‌ what else? ... a distinguished citizen! Previous winners read like a “Who’s Whoâ€? of High Point. Dayvault described this year’s recipient as a “treasure, trusted and valued friend of High Point.â€? Don Cameron, president of GTCC, is this year’s recipient of the Distinguished Citizen of the Year Award. Now to the “big screenâ€? and here’s what friends and colleagues, many former recipients, had to say. Mayor Smothers, “The first thing I thought was they really chose a nice guy! He is a great friend to everyone. In addition what he has done at GTCC ... his philosophy, his vision and his investment in time has done so much for our community.â€? Charlie Greene said, “Don is so humble but always aware of what is needed and how to achieve it. He simply does everything to make it a little better. Don Cameron is more than just a president. He is part of our community.â€? Loren Hill, president of High Point Economic Development said, “There is no better ally than Don.â€? Coy Williard talked about their friendship over sports. Jim Morgan expressed admiration and added, “You are certainly a distinguished citizen of High Point.â€? His friend Nido Qubein, president of High Point University, normally exchanges quips with Cameron but was serious as he told him, “You are a leader among leaders. We are proud of you. No one deserves it more.â€? Zaki Uddin Khalifa spoke of his leadership in education. Shirley Frye, chairperson of the GTCC board of trustees, said she “couldn’t think of a better personâ€? to receive this award. The ensuing standing ovation confirmed this as a very surprised Cameron walked to the podium. He wiped his eyes and his voice cracked as he spoke. “The last time I was this shocked was

I was excited, happy and dumbfounded. Today, I am just dumbfounded.� Cameron was quickly joined by his family including his grandson! GTCC made headlines at this year’s meeting. Dean of the High Point campus Jeanette McNeill was honored as Volunteer of the Year. She has given countless dedicated hours to nurture the success and champion the cause of small business. Word has it, she also plays a “mean� game of golf. I intend to find out. Congratulations, Jeanette. The past week was one of reflection for me as I lost a childhood friend after a very courageous battle with ovarian cancer for almost a decade. I want to share some memories with you. I was in the fourth grade when Angie (Angela McCaffrey) and her family moved into the next block in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We both attended St. Patricks grade school and, in addition to becoming immediate friends, we also developed a friendly competition on who could

get the most “A’s.� She won. Every day, rain or snow, we would walk the mile to school together. After school, we would go to her house, would plop down on the living room sofa, sometime wrestle with her brothers and always watch the “Three Stooges� (part of the local “Uncle Max Show�) on black & white television. Her mother, who endured several horrors while imprisoned in Germany after the Russian invasion in World War II, baked fresh bread every day. Angie and I would make cinnamon sugar and spread it with butter on the very aromatic bread. On more than one occasion, we ate the entire loaf. Angie’s family only stayed in Cedar Rapids a year before moving to a farm in Decorah, Iowa, and I would visit her several summers. On Sundays after church, her family would stop at other farms and barter eggs, milk, chicken or whatever they needed. They rarely went to the grocery store. They had a horse but no saddle, and we would ride bareback together to the neighboring turkey farm or fish hatchery. I would hang on for dear life as the

horse would often bolt into a nearby field. Through the years, we sometimes would lose contact but not for long. She became a lawyer and a highly respected law professor at Hamline University and was known for her voracious fight for the legislation for the rights of refugees. Her mother had been a

refugee after all. When faced with her stage 4 diagnosis, her biggest fear was dying before her mother. “She couldn’t take that,� she told me. Her mother died last year. Angie, I will miss you, my friend. MARY BOGEST is an artist and writer who resides in High Point | MSBogest@aol.com.

Quietly, Mercury moves up in fuel economy ANN M. JOB THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NUTS & BOLTS

The Toyota Prius and Ford Fusion Hybrid are two of the three mid-size cars that rank best in gasoline mileage for 2010. The third car: The often-overlooked Mercury Milan Hybrid. A roomy, attractive sedan with a four-cylinder engine mated to an electric motor, the 2010 Milan Hybrid is rated by the federal government at an impressive 41 miles per gallon in city driving and 36 mpg on the highway. These aren’t just numbers on paper. The test Milan Hybrid was getting more than 37 mpg without me adapting my driving or concentrating on fuel mileage. Best of all, I didn’t look like every other environmentally conscious driver with a Prius. The Milan Hybrid looks basically like a regular, non-hybrid Milan on the outside and with nicely placed, shiny, silver-colored trim, has an upscale appearance. The Milan also is a recommended buy of Consumer Reports. Starting retail price, including destination charge, is on the high side, though. Starting manufacturer’s suggested

The 2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid is a recommended buy of Consumer Reports. retail price, with destination charge, is $28,905. But an option package that adds rearview camera, 12-speaker Sony sound, leather seats and moonroof, among other things, is included automatically on the Mercury brand’s “build your own vehicle” Web site and boosts the price to $31,980.

In comparison, the 2010 Prius hatchback has a starting retail price of $22,150 with four-cylinder gasoline engine and seating for five. The five-passenger, 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid starts at $28,675. The Milan was revamped recently at the same time as the Ford Fusion because they are

sibling cars, and both are built by Ford Motor Co. Mercury, a longtime Ford Motor brand, however, has suffered over the past 15 years in trying to find and establish a consistent, winning image with consumers. But I found I didn’t really care about the image of Mercury, because the

Milan Hybrid was such an endearing sedan. Longer and wider than the Prius, the Milan Hybrid provides good space in front and back seats. There are nearly 3.5 inches more of shoulder room in the back seat of the Milan than in the Prius, and back-seat leg and headroom are a bit better in the Milan, too.

Mercury Milan Hybrid BASE PRICE: $28,180 AS TESTED: $33,755 TYPE: Front-engine, front-wheel drive, fivepassenger, midi-size sedan ENGINE: 2.5-liter, double overhead cam, inline four cylinder MILEAGE: 41 mpg (city), 36 mpg (highway) TOP SPEED: 108 mph LENGTH: 162.8 inches WHEELBASE: 107.4 inches CURB WEIGHT: 3,729 pounds BUILT AT: Mexico OPTIONS: Rapid spec package (includes power moonroof, Sony 12speaker system, blind spot detection system, rearview camera, rear spoiler, leather-trimmed seats) $3,075; navigation system $1,775 DESTINATION CHARGE: $725

Trunk space is constrained by the battery pack at the rear seats, so it’s down to 11.8 cubic feet from the 16.5 cubic feet in a non-hybrid Milan. But this Mercury hybrid still has more trunk space than the hybrid Lexus LS 600h.

$8,000/$6,500 tax credits expire April 30 A

pril 30 is an important date to remember for homebuyers in our community. That’s the deadline for taking advantage of a $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers. Current homeowners who are selling a home that they have occupied for any five consecutive years within the last eight years may also receive a credit of up to $6,500 for homes purchased between Nov. 7, 2009, and April 30, 2010. These are unprecedented tax credits and great opportunities for individuals and families who are considering purchasing a home. It’s also easy to claim the

credits. Like all tax credits, they will directly reduce the total amount of taxes that a homeowner owes. REAL ESTATE When the Ken first-time Wall homebuyer files ■■■ taxes for the year the home was purchased, the homeowners will be able to subtract the amount of the credit from their federal income tax liability, increasing the size of the refund. For example, if a “normal” tax return shows that a person owes $2,000 in taxes, with this

credit, the tax liability could be lowered by $8,000 – which means, in this example, the person instead would receive a $6,000 tax refund check from the IRS. Any single-family residence used as a primary residence that is purchased for $800,000 or less is eligible. This includes single-family detached homes, condos or co-ops, townhouses or any similar type of new or existing dwelling. Income limits apply for individuals and married couples. Realtors in the High Point Regional Association of Realtors are able to answer questions about the tax credit and provide other assistance

Realtors give commercial real estate outlook WASHINGTON (AP) – The commercial real estate market is not expected to recover this year, with vacancy rates set to rise and rents forecast to fall, the National Association of Realtors said this week. No meaningful recovery is expected to come before 2011, as concerns about unemployment, consumer confidence and other economic conditions persist, the realtors group said. “Because of the lingering impact from the deep recession over the past

two years, vacancy rates will trend higher and many commercial property owners will need to make rent concessions,” said Lawrence Yun, the group’s chief economist. “With the job market expected to turn for the better later this year, we’ll see rising demand for office and warehouse space, but that isn’t likely before 2011,” he said. The realtors group analyzes quarterly data and provides a forecast for four major commercial sectors – office, industrial, retail and apartment

rental markets. In the office sector, vacancy rates are forecast to rise to 17.6 percent in the fourth quarter of this year from 16.3 percent in last year’s fourth quarter. Annual office rent is projected to decline 7.2 percent this year. For the industrial market, vacancy rates are predicted to rise to 14.9 percent in this year’s fourth quarter from 13.9 percent in last year’s fourth quarter. Annual industrial rent is likely to fall 9.6 percent this year.

Factor retirement into your home-buying plans D

eciding to sell her 3,100square-foot ranch house was just the first step for a widow with four grown children. The harder decision still facing her is where to buy a property for her empty nest years. Should she buy locally or move to a faraway retirement community? Such pre-retirement housing decisions must be grounded in practicality. Yet they should also be complementary to the purchaser’s overall retirement plans, says Sid Davis, the real estate broker who’s listed the widow’s longtime residence. “Many people want to reinvent themselves and they need to pick the right neighborhood and property to make their retirement work well,” says Davis, author of “A Survival Guide for Buying a Home.” Currently, the widow is debating between moving to a small low-maintenance bungalow in a nearby neighborhood, which would keep her close to friends and family, or moving to a city more than 300 miles away, where the climate is more to her liking. Jeffrey Wuorio, author of “The Complete Idiot’s Guide

to Retirement Planning,” says all prospective homebuyers in their 50s or 60s should attempt to factor retireSMART MOVES ment into their selection of a Ellen home. Martin Here are point■■■ ers for those planning to buy a home during their pre-retirement years: • Chart your retirement and home-buying plans in a holistic way. Though it’s perfectly appropriate to focus on the enjoyable activities you’ll pursue in retirement, most retirees eventually crave a sense of purpose to make their days meaningful, says Lin Schreiber, a life coach who specializes in helping retired people craft “encore careers” (www.revolutionizeretirement.com). “You need to know what makes you really happy over the long run,” says Schreiber. One way to find a certified life coach in your area who specializes in retirement planning is through the In-

ternational Coach Federation (www.coachfederation.org). You can also find guidance through books written by retirement planning experts. • Factor money and longevity into your projections. Wuorio, a personal finance specialist, says many people in their 50s and 60s underestimate the financial needs they’ll face to cover all the years they’ll probably live. “Unless you’re going to live austerely, you may need more money than you anticipate. This is especially likely if you have expensive interests, like traveling,” he says. Government statistics project that many baby boomers can expect to live longer than their parents did. In fact, people who are now age 60 have an average life expectancy of 81.6 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (www. cdc.gov). But Wuorio says financial concerns shouldn’t discourage those approaching retirement from making a thoughtful real estate purchase. “Right now, we have buyer’s markets everywhere, and pric-

es are excellent. So this could absolutely be a good time to buy that perfect home for retirement, assuming you buy in an area that makes sense for your lifestyle,” he says. • Scout out information before making a long-distance move. If you are considering the purchase of a home in a distant area where you expect to retire in a few years, Wuorio urges you to gain as much firsthand information as possible about your target venue, which could help you avoid a costly mistake. One obvious way to learn about a new area is to travel there and talk to local residents. Inquire about opportunities to pursue your interests. You may also want to ask about access to educational opportunities. In addition, Wuorio says you should “find out if the town or city offers quality public transportation. Also, ask about the quality of medical facilities in the area, including clinics and hospitals.” He says your best guides to the new area are often friends or relatives already living

there. Also, he recommends you connect with alumni from the schools or universities you’ve attended who have lived in the target area for several years or longer. • Don’t rule out buying a different home in your same general area. One plausible option for many homebuyers of retirement age is to downsize to a smaller property in the same neighborhood or nearby. For example, you might sell a large family home in a suburban community for a smaller, low-maintenance condo in a newly constructed high-rise building there. Wuorio says downsizing in the same area – a common way to handle housing in retirement – has one significant advantage. This is the approach most likely to keep alive the friendships you’ve built over the years. “In retirement, the risks of loneliness and isolation are great, and connectivity with others will be very important for you as the years go by,” he says.

White House proposes consumer protections on mortgage loans WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration is considering additional protections to ensure homeowners are treated fairly and consistently under its mortgage relief program. The policies, outlined in a draft Treasury Department document obtained by the Associated Press, would address long-standing complaints from housing counselors. They have cited cases of lenders continuing with foreclosures while homeowners were being evaluated for help. That practice would be banned under the new rules.

Treasury spokeswoman Meg Reilly confirmed the document was authentic, but wrote in an e-mail that it “has not been approved and there are no immediate planned announcements on the issue.” Government officials acknowledge treatment of homeowners has been a problem under the $75 billion mortgage relief effort. Some lenders, for example, continue foreclosure proceedings while evaluating a borrower for help. Under the new policies, mortgage

companies would have to stop all legal action once a borrower enrolls. Those rejected from the program would also have 30 days to appeal the decision. In that time, lenders could schedule a foreclosure sale but not conduct it. And mortgage companies would be required to consider applications from homeowners in bankruptcy. That’s optional under the current rules. The $75 billion program is designed to lower borrowers’ monthly payments by reducing mortgage rates to

as low as 2 percent for five years and extending loan terms to as long as 40 years. To complete the process, homeowners need to make three payments and provide proof of their income, plus a letter documenting their financial hardship. But experts warn that hundreds of thousands of borrowers will not be eligible or will not complete the process. So far, only 116,300 borrowers out 1 million enrolled have had the terms of their mortgages changed permanently.
