City’s road stimulus share nears $3 million

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Federal stimulus highway money totals about $35 million for a three-county area around High Point, including at least $2.8 million for road projects in the city itself during the past year.

Of the 381 stimulus projects funded in North Carolina, 304 are under way, according to the White House. The highway project appropriations include more than $4 million in Davidson County, more than $24 million in Guilford

County and $6.4 million in Randolph County, according to the N.C. Office of Recovery and Reinvestment.

Davidson County also has benefited from funding for projects in multiple counties bordering it that total nearly $5 million.

Auto industry travels bumpy road Some carmakers benefit from others’ recalls

STAR GAZING: Noted astronomer to visit GTCC. 1B

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – It wasn’t long ago that the automobile industry was reporting positive projections for 2010, hopeful for an uptick in sales after a sluggish 2009.

Now, after three major carmakers have issued recalls within the first two months of the year, those projections may be wishful thinking, according to some economists.

“I think it’s going to have two impacts on the industry,” said Mike McCully, associate professor of economics at High Point University. “First, it’s going to make people more cautious about buying cars in general, so total sales might not be as high as some had originally predicted. It will also shift sales toward manufacturers that still seem to be reliable.”

The sticky accelerator problems that were announced by Toyota in late January were joined this week by break and fuel gauge problems on some Nissan trucks and sport utility vehicles and steering faults on about 1.3 million cars made by General Motors. The recalls come after GM, Nissan and ev-

Erik Vonkohler, technician at Vann York Auto Mall, checks out a Pontiac Vibe, one of the vehicles on the recall list. ery major carmaker reported an uptick in sales in January except Toyota.

Those sales figures are an example of what McCully says will happen – car buyers sticking with brands that are still perceived as safe in the public eye.

Dr. Andrew Brod, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, agrees the recalls will alter consumers’ car-buying habits in

the coming months. “The most likely outcome is that the string of recalls will shift those purchases around,” he said. “It seems more likely that if someone needs a car and feels ready to buy that car, and they feel the recession is over, they might buy a Honda instead of a Toyota.”

McCully cites brands like Kia and Hyundai to perform well this year because they are still perceived as safe and maintain efficient gas mileage.

That’s an important factor after AAA Carolinas reported on Wednesday that fuel prices were on the way to another price spike this summer.

Brod said he doesn’t believe the string of recalls will hurt auto sales for the year as sales were already on an upswing.

In 2008, car sales took a 27 percent dive. In 2009, they hit bottom and began a slight improvement when the government program Cash for Clunk-

ers kicked in, he said.

“We started to see more purchasing of durable goods when 2009 ended,” he said. “That usually happens when there have been some positive economic indicators, so I don’t think these recalls will completely discourage car buying. It’s going to be much more driven by how the economy is doing.”

Permit plan again stirs controversy

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – If you are a business owner in Thomasville, you may not be out of the woods yet of having to pay for a permit to operate your business.

This week, the city’s Personnel/FinanceCommittee, which is composed of several City Council members, reached a consensus that they want to charge each business in Thomasville a flat fee of $50. The committee revisited the proposed mandatory business privilege license program after it was tabled in 2008.

“I hope the citizens will understand that this is something that we have

Business owners lukewarm to proposal. 1B needed for a long time, and that there was a business privilege license for many years in Thomasville until it was repealed in the 1970s,” Councilman Scott Styers said. “We have come to realize many times that there is far more need to have it than not to have it. It is not an intent to tax business.

It’s simply an intent to make sure that we know that activity going on inside our businesses is legitimate and safe. The fee is simply to pay for the costs.”

More than a year ago, the City Council decided to table the proposal until it heard if the state was going to take over implementing business privilege programs among cities and counties. Thomasville officials have since learned state legislators have no plans on considering the issue in the upcoming short session, causing the council to revisit the matter during its retreat last month.

“We are simply looking to ensure public safety, ensure customers and employees are safe when they are in a business,” Styers said.

While Councilman David Yemm is against the business permits, Councilman Raleigh York Jr.,

chairman of the city’s Personnel/Finance Committee, said he supports the proposed program.

“I support it if it’s simple and not expensive for a business to comply with,” York said. “I think what we are talking about will do that.”

“I’m against putting an extra tax, an extra burden on business,” Yemm said.

“That’s been my whole thing, but I’m the minority in this fight.”

Before tabling the proposed business privilege license program, city officials had been working on developing the program for a year. The program is expected to generate $50,000, covering the cost for the

city to hire one employee.

City officials said this week they could hire an employee to administer the program that would work jointly between the inspections and fire departments.

Members of the Personnel/Finance Committee directed staff to rework the proposed ordinance based on the changes they recommended. The committee may meet in a special session this month, so the council could consider the issue of business permits during its April meeting.

The council would have to make a decision by May 1 if it wants to implement a program this year. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

WAYNESVILLE – Dozens of college students from Western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee braved bone-chilling temperatures last week to get an up close look at one of the region’s biggest engineering challenges -- that is, Interstate 40 through Haywood County.

Geology and environmental sciences students and professors from Western Carolina University, the University of North Carolina at Asheville and East Tennessee State University boarded a handful of vans for a geologic sightseeing trip of sorts to the interstate’s most notorious spots, including the site of the October rock slide that has shut

the highway down for months.

Led by Jody Kuhne, a state engineering geologist, the students were taken from a meeting place at exit 20 off Jonathan Creek along the now-deserted highway to the foot of the October slide. Kuhne explained to the students the cause of the slide, the challenges engineers and workers faced in cleaning debris from the roadway and the ongoing process of stabilizing the remaining rock face.

Standing at the foot of the rockslide looking up the slope to where workers have been installing hundreds of rock bolts, the science of geology seemed to become larger than life to many of the students.

“Seeing it there brings it to life, it’s almost surreal,” said Jessica Moore.

Posted signs outside Governors Club homeowners William and Jane Bruces’ home tell deer hunters to go away.

A bow-and-arrow hunt for deer has caused hard feelings among neighbors in the gated community. Residents of Governors Club in Chatham County have been told to remove no trespassing signs and to stop harassing hunters, who are there with the blessing of the property owners association.

Deer hunt causes problems in gated community dents of Governors Club in Chatham County have been told to remove no trespassing signs and to stop harassing hunters, who are there with the blessing of the property owners association.

The association ob-

tained a state permit to allow bow hunts to kill up to 65 deer. They say deer are destroying shrubs, flowers and other landscaping. At least two deer have been killed.

The association says it has told the hunters

which lots are off limits.

It sent a letter last week saying residents who don’t take down their no trespassing signs risk fines. The hunting is mostly taking place on 23 lots whose owners have allowed it.

Bruce Davis: Dorsett cheated voters GREENSBORO – County Commissioner Bruce Davis is calling out state Sen. Katie Dorsett, who Davis says pulled out of her re-election campaign at the last minute to keep away Democratic challengers and clear the way for Gladys Robinson, her chosen successor.

Davis ran against Dorsett in the Democratic primary two years ago.

He said he would have entered the District 28 race had he known Dorsett wasn’t running again. But she didn’t make that widely known.

In fact, Dorsett initially filed to run but pulled out Friday, the final day for

candidates to file. “I have been interested in that seat,� Davis said. “But the way this was done, the public has been cheated out of a choice.

We cannot pass down our seats to people because they’re our friends.�

Dorsett said she told Robinson of her decision in time for her to file.

She decided to support Robinson because she is a friend who has wanted the seat for eight years, she said.

Davis said that’s not a good reason.

Two Democrats -- Robinson and Greensboro’s Evelyn Miller -- have filed for the seat. Both got in under the wire.

Four Republicans will run for a shot at the seat,

including Greensboro Councilwoman Trudy Wade. Davis said Dorsett could have allowed a stronger field of Democrats by letting others in the party know her true plans. “There are candidates with more experience who might have run,�

Davis said. “As someone with more experience, who has been a past chairman of the Guilford County Board of Commissioners, I think I would be a good candidate.�

Davis has been a strong advocate for his hometown of High Point as a commissioner. Most of the city is covered by District 28, he said, but a High Point resident hasn’t held the seat for

20 years. “There are a number of other people in High Point who would make good candidates,�

Davis said.

Dorsett said she doesn’t see why she needed to inform Davis of her decision. “If he wanted to file, he could have filed at any time,� Dorsett said. “I didn’t keep him from doing anything.�

Davis said he has let Dorsett know he was interested in the seat in the past and thinks that pulling out when she did was at least partially a way to keep him from running.

Davis filed to run for re-election to his District 1 commissioners seat last month and can’t run in both races.

Wright was eight months pregnant when she was killed in September. Her baby, delivered by cesarean section, died a week later.

No one has been charged with killing Wright, but court documents say a 17-year-old former high school football player is a suspect.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office has charged a Winston-Salem man who works as a high school counselor with several counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.

Kevin Ronald Sidden, 37, of Winston-Salem, was charged this week with three counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. He was released from custody after posting a $5,000 secured bond.

According to a sheriff’s office press release, deputies received information last month from the Davie County authorities in regard to the possible possession of child pornography by a man

living in Davidson County. Davidson County detectives then obtained a search warrant for the content of the computers and other digital media belonging to the suspect, according to the sheriff’s office.

Bill Campbell with the Davie County School System told WXII-12 News that Sidden is a guidance counselor at Davie County High School.

Campbell said the school system just found out about the arrest and that Sidden has been employed by the district since August 2007, according to WXII. Sidden’s first court appearance is set for April 12 in Davidson County District Court in Lexington.

Aftershock sets off brief panic in Chile CONCEPCION, Chile – A strong aftershock to Chile’s deadly earthquake provoked a brief panic in the city of Concepcion, but no tsunami warning was issued and no injuries or damage have been reported.

Clinton told a news conference she respects Brazil’s position but thinks if there is any possibility of negotiating with Iran, it would happen only after a new round of sanctions.

Indian navy plane crashes; 2 pilots killed HYDERABAD, India – An Indian navy plane performing aerobatics at an air show crashed into a building in southern India on Wednesday, killing both the pilot and the copilot and injuring four people on the ground, police said.

Admiral Nirmal Verma, the navy chief, said the pilots could not eject and were killed in the crash as the plane hit a building in a residential area near Begumpet airport in Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh state.

EU, US concerned about nuclear activities VIENNA – The U.S. and Europe say they share U.N. fears that Tehran may be secretly working on developing nuclear missiles, expressing support Wednesday for new sanctions if Tehran continues to defy Security Council demands.

Their comments reflected the International Atomic Energy Agency’s change in tone under new director-general Yukiya Amano in its assessment of Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Cuban hunger striker briefly hospitalized HAVANA – A dissident journalist who has refused food and water for a week was rushed to a hospital after losing consciousness, then returned home when doctors said they could do nothing for him if he refused to eat, a family spokeswoman said Wednesday.

Guillermo Farinas, who files Internet dispatches in defiance of state control on nearly all domestic media, was hospitalized near his home in the central city of Santa Clara around midday, said Licet Zamora.

Libya demands US apology for ’jihad’ response TRIPOLI, – Libya on Wednesday demanded an apology for a joking remark by a U.S. official about the Libyan leader’s call for a holy war against Switzerland.

Last month Moammar Gadhafi appealed for a Muslim holy war because Switzerland banned building of new mosque minarets. At the Friday State Department briefing, spokesman Philip Crowley said he was reminded of Ghadafi’s speech at the U.N. in September, noting, “I can recall lots of words and lots of papers flying all over the place, not necessarily a lot of sense.�

People look on after a plane crashed into a building in Hyderabad, India, Wednesday.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – The Miami property developer, volunteering after Haiti’s earthquake, was horrified to see children sleeping in the dirt under makeshift tents of bed sheets propped up on sticks. A global, billion-dollar aid effort should be able to do better, he thought.

He decided he could do better himself.

Michael Capponi flew home, collected donated tents, flew them back to Haiti and built a proper camp for hundreds of families on the soccer field of a gated community of luxury villas. It took him three days and less than $5,000. “I didn’t put this together to get a pat on the back, but to show the world it can be done rather quickly, and with limited funds,� said Capponi, 37.

Haiti has two relief campaigns under way: a massive, lumbering international operation; and the collective efforts of individuals acting on their own in frustration at what they see as shortcomings in the international response.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – A U.S. Baptist missionary detained on suspicion of child trafficking in Haiti said Wednesday she would be ready to return to the earthquake-ravaged country to work with children.

Laura Silsby told The Associated Press from her jail cell that she and nanny Charisa Coulter expect to be released soon, but would both readily come back despite their troubles here. “Oh yes, both of us would come back to Haiti because there is so much need here, especially for the children,� Silsby said.

Appearing before a White House audience of invited guests, many of them wearing white medical coats, Obama firmly rejected calls from Republicans to draft new legislation from scratch. “I don’t see how another year of negotiations would help.

Young people should take pride in themselves I read with interest in last Sunday’s USA Weekend Gen. Colin Powell’s article about ending the dropout crisis in our schools.

I have some suggestions to young people about how to better themselves and stay in school.

First of all, I would like to say to young black men that Gen. Powell is an excellent example of how to make something of yourselves.

My most important suggestion to young men and young women of any color is – take pride in yourself.

I see these young men out in public looking like idiots wearing their pants half way down to their ankles. Would I respect them? No! Young ladies, if they look like a prostitute, that is what people will think they are.

I was born and raised down in the Sandhills on a sharecropper farm and would have been considered poor white trash.

Thank God I had a mother who made sure her children had pride in ourselves.

I know what I see out in public is a minority of our young people.

I tell young people there will come a day when they have to stand before a judge and answer for how they have lived their lives. That judge won’t give them probation.

I have done my share trying to be a mentor for young people. I was a Big Brother for 17 years until major health problems forced me to give up my volunteer work.

But let me say it all starts with the parents. If they don’t give the young people an example of how to live at home, I guarantee the streets will.

Leadership program left an impression on youth The day after Thanksgiving, we all showed up at the library, not knowing what to expect.

While most of us were half asleep, Terry Aiken and Di-Ann Williams cheerfully introduced themselves and the program began. We played a few ice-breakers to meet all the strangers around us, but quickly jumped into the point of the program – becoming a better leader.

We did everything from a blindfolded trust walk to a critical thinking worksheet about survival in the wilderness. We also spent a lot of time brainstorming. What were the needs in the community, needs in the country, needs in the world? You name it, we brainstormed it. After talking with everybody, I realized that High Point has more problems than I had originally thought.

The Tea Party message sounds ‘crazy’ and incoherent

Local race filing closes under cloud ‘A t’s unfortunate that the filing period in the 28th Senate Democratic primary ended the way it did. Whatever the explanation, the last-second actions on the part of incumbent Katie Dorsett only fuel feelings that Greensboro’s political powerbrokers regard High Point residents as second-class citizens to be manipulated however it best suits the Greensboro kingmakers.

Shortly before the filing period closed last Friday, Dorsett withdrew from the race and her friend Gladys Robinson, also of Greensboro, beat the noon filing deadline. High Point’s Bruce Davis, who challenged Dorsett in the primary two years ago but did not file this year because Dorsett had filed for re-election, took exception to Friday’s last-minute maneuvering.

Davis, in his third term on Guilford County commissioners, contends the moves were coordinated to squeeze him, particularly, and other potential candidates out the race to give Robinson a better chance of winning. Dorsett denies Davis’ allegation, but an objective evaluation says the High Pointer seems to have a valid complaint about a political anointing.

And don’t say we’re biased in this matter because Davis is from High Point. In 2008, the Enterprise endorsed Dorsett over Davis, and we endorsed Dorsett in previous Senate races. It’s just unfortunate that the filing period in this race has ended this way.

shelter. After learning that they were running low on blankets, we decided not to stand by; so we organized a plan to collect blankets for those in need. Each participant set out boxes at different locations during December and January. When we finally met to present the blankets to Payne, they filled an entire truck bed!

The very next day, our city had a snow storm. Fortunately, Open Door Ministries had tons of blankets to give to homeless people who would otherwise be cold.

This would not have been possible without the Points of Light Youth Leadership program. With the expert guidance of Aiken and Williams, we were able to network within our community in an act of service that really made a difference. We learned how to be better listeners, encouragers, helpers, workers, and ultimately leaders.

I feel better equipped to make a difference in the world.

Please let me say to all of those who called, visited, e-mailed, texted or wrote in to express their concerns about my unscheduled visit to High Point Regional Hospital recently, I am pleased to report that I am feeling great and am back at work.

I want to thank High Point Rotary Club, High Point Country Club, Guilford County EMS personnel and the entire medical team at High Point Regional Hospital for their care and concern after I fainted.

While I was being treated, I kept thanking everyone for all of the special attention I was receiving, and to a person, they kept reminding me that everyone receives the same level of care.

What that reinforced in me is that we are lucky to live in such a special place with caring and dedicated professionals throughout our community.

Again, thank you to all who expressed their concern for my well-being.

HOWARD COBLE Washington The writer represents the 6th District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

t some point, you have to use the word ‘crazy.’ ” It will not surprise you to hear that the speaker is referring to extremists within the Tea Party movement. What might surprise you is that the speaker is Erick Erickson, editor in chief of RedState, a prominent conservative blog.

Erickson was recently quoted on Politico in a report about how he and other conservatives are attempting to distance their ideology and the Republican Party from the paranoid theorizing and loud, incoherent screaming that have recently passed for discourse on the political right. And of course, the darkly comic thing about it is that, less than a year ago, some conservatives were “exulting” over the tea parties, believing they brought needed energy to a movement demoralized by its 2008 shellacking at the polls. “The Republican comeback has begun,” declared GOP chief Michael Steele.

What a difference a year makes. Or not.

Some of us after all, have argued all along that the tea parties were about as “conservative” – insofar as that term has traditionally been understood – as ladies night in a Castro Street bar. Indeed, some of us made the same point about George W. Bush, the putatively conservative president who nevertheless presided over an expansion of the federal government and of a federal entitlement program (Medicare), a costly war of choice in Iraq founded on a shifting rationale, and financial mismanagement that turned surplus into deficit seemingly overnight.

For at least the last decade, then, conservatism has not seemed particularly conservative – a disconnect many of the ideology’s adherents managed to ignore so long as it was useful to do so, i.e., so long as it played well at the ballot box. “Just win, baby” was their mantra; intellectual honesty, their casualty; and as a result, their ideology slid into – here’s that word again – incoherence, taking American political discourse with it.

But in the Tea Party movement, some conservatives finally meet a cognitive disconnect they simply cannot bridge.

A recent New York Times profile found the Tea Party movement to be amorphous and

largely without an organizing principle other than its anger toward government and fear of a supposedly imminent dictatorship. Beyond that, partiers are an unwieldy amalgam of tax haters, global warming holdouts, illegal-immigration protestOPINION ers, secessionists, gun rights advocates, white supremacists, Leonard militia types and conspiracy Pitts theorists, all banging their gongs ■■■ at the same time.

Like the liberal noisemakers who follow the World Trade Organization around, their lack of message discipline renders them – that word, yet again – incoherent.

Like them, they have yet to figure out that to protest everything is to protest nothing.

Make no mistake: every movement or marginalized people has its fringe extremists who threaten to define the whole. Thus, moderate American Muslims are periodically required to rebuke Islamic terrorists, environmentalists are obligated to rebuff eco-terrorists, and moderate African-Americans are expected to reprove Louis Farrakhan.

But conservatives, outside of a few integritydriven souls over the years, have not rushed to repudiate the crazies among them, even as the crazies have grown crazier and threatened to engulf the whole.

So it is welcome, albeit belated, news to hear Ned Ryun of American Majority telling Politico the right needs to stop providing a platform to its extremists, and to read columnist Michael Gerson speaking of the need to shove them to the margins, and to learn that Erickson has banned birthers – i.e., people who persist in the asinine belief that President Obama was not born in the U.S.A. – from his Web site.

“At some point, you have to use the word ‘crazy,’ ” he says. And he’s right, of course.

But that point came a long time ago.

No one is addressing health care’s real problem – unnecessary costs

BY JORETTA H. FULLER

GUEST COLUMN

ith all the arguing in Washington on health care, studies being done and the Tea Party people in the streets, why doesn’t anyone address the real problem?

Why is health care in America so expensive? Could one of the reasons possibly be due to all the heavy advertising being done by hospitals?

We see Wake Forest Baptist, Novant, High Point Regional, Moses Cone, Forsyth and many more jamming the TV with more and more commercials.

They are right there with all the many drug commercials which are, themselves, sickening. I would think that all the dollars paid for the VPs of marketing and ad directors, along the millions paid for the commercials, must be inflating what we’re paying for medical procedures.

Why do hospitals need to advertise in the first place? If they need patients so badly, why the big battle to build the new hospital in Davie County last year?

It really seems that the cost for health care in America has

become the “sacred cow� and it not to be questioned. Hospitals build grand, new facilities with large fountains and palace-like lobbies and then do expansions every-other year. They have become accustomed to this spending and then increasing fees, feeling that insurance would always pay up. But now we have insurance companies balking by denying coverage to people who really need coverage, dropping coverage on people who have paid premiums for years, denying payment for needed procedures that are too expensive and increasing premiums to outrageous amounts.

Lord knows, the insurance companies must do something so that they can continue paying their CEOs and directors millions of dollars every year.

What has changed in the last 50 years? Back in the 1950s, when insurance was reasonable and needed health care was available for all, my grandparents and your grandparents still lived well into their late 70s. All the new advances came SP00504742

about with new testing equipment and procedures, and now we pay thousands for the surgeon, along with a few more thousands for the million-dollar robot, just to keep us live a few more years. It’s great for the people with the Cadillac health plans, but even those are going to be in jeopardy soon if we stay on this road to bankruptcy.

A new greedy mind-set came into being in America where we now have insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies and medical equipment companies all on Wall Street bragging about their big profits at the cost of America and our employers and our citizens going bankrupt. And the hospitals just keep on building, raising prices for procedures and advertising how great they are.

Of course, I will tell this to our reps in Raleigh and Washington, but we probably can’t expect much help there until the big health care lobbyists stop putting so much money into representatives’ pockets.

2 suspended after child radioed pilots at JFK

Explosion at oil refinery kills 2

NEW YORK (AP) – As planes waited to take off from Kennedy Airport, the jargon-packed radio chatter between controllers and pilots was interrupted by a young boy’s voice: “JetBlue 171, cleared for takeoff.”

An air traffic controller who brought his son to work let the youngster read a few routine messages to pilots – and then brought in another child the next day – in an incident that amused pilots but not the Federal Avia-

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Federal and state investigators were probing blackened debris Wednesday at a southeastern New Mexico oil refinery where a storage tank explosion killed two Texas men and critically injured two others.

Authorities say warning sirens sounded just before 1 p.m. Tuesday at Navajo Refinery, which sits at the intersection of U.S. 82 and U.S. 285 in Artesia.

The plant was evacuated, but authorities said there was no need for evacuations of nearby businesses or homes only blocks away.

Firefighters outside the station heard the explosion less than half a mile away, Artesia Fire Chief J.D. Hummingbird said. He went outside and saw thick, black smoke at the same time a 911 call came in.

“We knew we had a problem,” he said.

The body of one of the Texas men was found at the site Tuesday, and authorities Wednesday afternoon were still seeking the body of the second man, who is presumed dead, police Sgt. Lindell Smith said.

Smith identified the men as Natividad Andajo of Odessa, Texas, and Victor Villa of Midland, Texas.

Authorities couldn’t immediately say which man’s body was found Tuesday. The body was sent to the Office of the Medical Investigator in Albuquerque for an autopsy and identification.

Two other workers were airlifted to a Lubbock, Texas, hospital.

Their names weren’t released.

Rangel drops tax leadership WASHINGTON (AP) – Buffeted by ethics inquiries, veteran New York Rep. Charles B. Rangel, 79, stepped down Wednesday as chairman of the House’s powerful tax-writing committee, delivering a fresh political jolt to a Democratic Party already facing angry voters.

Rangel’s relinquishing

of the Ways and Means Committee gavel spared colleagues from having to vote on a Republicansponsored resolution to strip him of his post. Rangel, a member of Congress for 39 years, stepped aside just days after being admonished for breaking House rules by accepting corporate-financed travel.

Mixed feelings on fees Thomasville wrangles with business licenses Elsewhere...

Issue gains momentum. 1A

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Business owners expressed mixed feelings Wednesday concerning the possibility of the Thomasville City Council implementing a mandatory business privilege license program.

If the city’s Personnel/ Finance Committee forwards a proposal to the City Council next month, business owners may be required to pay a $50 fee to operate their business in Thomasville.

With the possibility of the council mandating business permits, several business owners, including Melanie Doby and Stacey Hunt, say they don’t

He is opposed to the new $50 fee. want more fees. “Thomasville needs to have more businesses as it is,” said Doby, owner of The Frame House Inc. on E. Main Street. “That would be a possible detraction against that. Like everybody else, I don’t want more fees, but if it’s good for the overall of the city, then I will do what I need to do.”

Astronomer to discuss TV science ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

JAMESTOWN – A noted University of Maine astronomer will be the featured speaker Saturday for the Triad Starfest program at Guilford Technical Community College.

Neil Comins will discuss the moon’s relationship to Earth and how science errors get into television shows. The events will be held at the Sears Applied Technologies Center and Cline Observatory.

The free program, designed for all levels of interest in astronomy, is open to the public. The Greensboro Astronomy Club and GTCC’s Cline Observatory are sponsors of the event.

The 7 p.m. Friday lecture will be the story of Comins’ work for The History Channel show about the moon and how everything went wrong.

Despite the best efforts of many scientists, incorrect information is sometimes presented about the natural world by the media, according to the expert.

Comins will be the featured speaker at 11:15

a.m. Saturday when he gives the Triad Starfest lecture on “What if the Earth Were Comins a Moon?” He is author of the popular introductory textbook “Discovering the Universe,” “What if Earth Had No Moon?” and “What If Earth Had Two Moons?” He has written many articles for Astronomy magazine, and has appeared in astronomyrelated television documentaries. His research interests include galaxies, black holes and astronomy education.

The Saturday program will begin at 9 a.m. with a welcome and announcements. Other Saturday speakers include local astronomers and enthusiasts. The event also includes astronomical displays, assorted astronomy-related vendors, prize drawings, “how-to” help for astronomy beginners, an astro-imaging display and more observations from the Cline Observatory, weather permitting.

STARFEST

----

Observatory: A prelude to Starfest will be the Harlow Shapley Visiting Lecture program of the American Astronomical Society at 7 p.m. Friday. The Cline Observatory will be open, weather permitting, after the lecture.

Street, agreed with Doby.

“If it’s going to help our city, then $50 is OK,” Hunt said. “Anything above that would be ridiculous because we need all the businesses we can get.”

Don Hawks, owner of Natures Herbs on E. Main Street, said he has not been required to have a business permit during his 10 years as a business owner in downtown Thomasville.

“I don’t want to have to pay another $50 fee,” Hawks said. “It’s not going to cause me to move my business, but I’m against it ... It could cause some of the smaller businesses that have just opened up to move. Those who are established, I don’t think it would cause them to move.

It could cause some who maybe want to locate here to change their mind. Fifty

dollars may not be a lot of money, but it could be to a lot of people.”

The Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors has yet to take a formal position on the proposed business privilege license program, said Doug Croft, president of the Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

East Coast’s first airsoft exposition planned at Showplace

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The first national airsoft exposition on the East Coast will open at Showplace on Friday.

The North Atlantic Airsoft Exposition will come to this side of the country after two airsoft enthusiasts, Kyle Thaggard and Anthony Letourneau, decided to expound on an airsoft exposition that’s held each year in California, which was the sport’s only exposition in the nation.

“With the economy like it is, there aren’t many people that can travel from the East Coast to California,” said Thaggard, a High Point 911 dispatcher.

“We’re also hoping to provide some things in the show that the West Coast doesn’t provide.”

Airsoft is a sport used primarily for recreation where replica firearms shooting 6 mm or 8 mm plastic rounds are used for gaming similar to paintball, Thaggard said. Exhibitors of airsoft products will be at the event, set to open Friday at 11 a.m.

It ends on Sunday evening.

Tickets are $8 per day or $20 for all three days. The show is open

“We want to show off more products and make sure people are wearing the proper safety protection, mouth guards, and so on.”

A police officer will hold a safety seminar about the sport at the event, he added.

Thaggard became involved with the sport when he was a military police officer in Honolulu.

He said that he and Letourneau, who lives in Raleigh, brought the show to High Point through the High Point Convention and Visitor Bureau’s “Bring It Home, High Point” campaign, which solicits leads and ideas about conventions and expositions from High Point residents.

If all goes as planned, he said the show will return to High Point next year.

The event is expected to have a $78,024 economic impact on the city, booking 150 hotel room nights, according to the CVB. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

I usually offer thanks and a smile.

Board to consider merger proposal

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Commissioners will attempt today to settle the confusion that arose last month over a Greensboro proposal to explore consolidating planning departments.

Partly led by Democratic Commissioner Bruce Davis of High Point, The Guilford County Board of Commissioners declined last month to approve a resolution the Greensboro City Council approved minutes earlier to evaluate and consider a city-county consolidation. The council’s resolution passed on a 6-3 vote during a joint meeting. Commissioners will consider a consolidation resolution during a 4 p.m. work session.

State law allows cities and counties to merge overlapping services.

Winston-Salem and Forsyth County have combined planning services

Opening doors for women can open a can of worms ear Abby: I sympathize with “Stumped for an Answer” (Dec. 22), the man who was speechless when a woman objected to his opening the door for her. Haven’t we all experienced “moments after,” wishing we’d found the right words at the right time?

My son – a high school sophomore – had a timely response in a similar circumstance. We had stopped at a grocery store for a couple of items and were walking toward the exit. Just ahead was a woman carrying three large bags. My son stepped up to open the door for her, and in a strident voice she said, “Listen, Sonny, I can handle the door myself!”

My boy answered with a polite smile and a pleasant tone of voice: “I’m sorry. I’ll excuse your rudeness if you’ll forgive my courtesy.” – Proud Mom in Ruidoso, N.M.

doors for me. It makes me feel inferior. When I run across a guy who insists on doing it, I allow him to. But then I rush to open the next one for him. Usually I get a chuckle when he reluctantly goes through. – Doit-myself, Fostoria, Ohio Dear Abby: My reply would have been, “Common courtesy knows no gender.” – Ron in Washington, D.C. Dear Abby: To a woman who once yelled at him for opening a door for her, my husband responded: “It’s not because you’re a woman. It’s because of your AGE.” It left her speechless.

– Gretchen in Fairbanks Dear Abby: Another possible reason a woman might not want to have a door opened for her: As a short-statured person, I find it an invasion of my space when a tall man reaches up and over me to hold a door, so I must scoot under his arm.

– Another Viewpoint in Connecticut Dear Abby: When it happened to me, I smiled at the woman and said: “I didn’t open the door for you because you’re a lady. I opened it for you because I’m a gentleman.” It got my point across. – Don in Alameda, Calif.

sented the consolidation recommendation to High Point City Council on Feb. 2. Most city leaders have showed no interest. Commissioners will meet with High Point City Council on March 11.

Greensboro leaders also suggested merger reviews for human resources, purchasing, geographic information services, parks and recreation, and law enforcement. Other suggested issues include a joint meeting space in the Old County Courthouse and creating a joint watersewer incentive fund.

Commissioners also will consider a proposed board ethics policy during the work session.

BIG IDEAS

—

Needed: Guilford County leaders and the governing bodies of the cities and towns should reconcile their land use plans and computer software, according to a task force report, so that city standards would apply automatically in new urbanstyle developments.

Unchanged: In any agency consolidation, the county and participating cities would keep their independent planning boards and any new planning agency would continue to serve the county’s small towns through contracts. and utility departments.

Local governments also contact with one another to operate parks, for example. The county currently bills taxes and administers elections for the cities and towns.

A study task force concluded that consolidation of Greensboro and Guilford County planning and inspection services would not save government money, but would save customers time and money.

“Getting water and sewer service settled

for customers slows us down. We won’t be able to compete after the recession if we don’t make some changes,” Marlene Sanford, president of the Triad Real Estate and Building Industry Coalition and task force leader, told commissioners earlier this year.

Medical facility earns appreciation Recently my niece was a patient at the Triad Care and Rehabilitation Center. During her time there, the staff took great initiative in responding quickly to her need(s). I wish I could extend my hand in gratitude to each employee who made her stay less stressful and more reliant to focusing on a speedy recovery. A special thanks goes out to the Rehab and Therapy Team that worked effortlessly, day in and day out, alongside of having the knowledge, skill and patience required for that position. Their aid was tremendous and I will be forever grateful!

The shot for shingles prevention is a vaccine called Zostavax. A boosted immunity against the chickenpox virus keeps it within cells and prevents shingles from occurring.

All who are 60 or older are encouraged to get the vaccine. The most common side effects are pain and redness where the shot was given and a headache. Neither is long-lasting.

Dear Dr. Donohue: My question is in the realm of sexuality. I readily understand married people continuing their sexual activity and desires even in their senior years, but the surfacing of sexual feelings after many years of singleness and no companion eludes me.

That is, it eluded me until I met someone who came into my life. After getting to know him, I had to acknowledge to myself the sexual attraction.

This causes me much distress, as I am a female over 70 who can pass for 60. I lead a busy life and have many friends, both male and female. I am completely taken by surprise by my feelings.

The surfacing of those dormant sexual desires has left me questioning whether this is normal.

Should my feelings cause me to feel guilty and ashamed? – B. In no way should they cause guilt or shame.

Those are normal human feelings that can persist until a person draws his or her last breath. They indicate a healthy body and mind.

Answer: Pruning rose bushes is intimidating to many gardeners, but actually very good for the plants. The spring is the key time to prune roses, and yes, you would prune them differently.

For hybrid tea roses, as soon as new growth is visible the plants should be cut back one-third to onehalf. The cuts should be made about 1⁄4-inch above an outward-facing leaf bud. At this time any dead or weak, twiggy growth should be removed. An attempt should be made to give the plant an open structure, without any branches rubbing against one another. Since roses flower on new wood, it’s almost impossible to prune them too hard as long as you leave plenty of leaf buds. In our area we can have a problem with cane borers, so sealing the cut with white glue, such as Elmer’s, is one more step you might want to include. Last but not least, remove sucker growth below the graft.

Shrub roses such as the knock-out are repeat bloomers, blooming on mature, but not old, woody stems. Leave them un-pruned to increase vigor for the first two years and then use the “onethird” method. Each year remove one-third of the oldest canes (in addition to any dead, diseased or dying canes).

As for climbing roses, they can be grouped in two categories. Ramblers,

--which bloom once on old wood and are best pruned by removing winter damage and dead wood; or to shape and keep size in check. Again, ramblers bloom only once and can be pruned right after flowering, all the way back to 2-3 inches, if you wish.

True climbers, on the other hand, are repeat bloomers. They can be pruned now to remove winter damage and dead wood. Prune after flowering to shape and keep their size in check. Good pruning takes practice, and roses are an easy plant with which to begin learning the art.

Q

uestion: Is March a good time to prune back a rose bush?

I have several different types with the majority being hybrid tea. Are they all pruned the same or do I do anything different for the shrub roses, like the knock-outs I have?

‘MARRIAGE REF’

----

NEW YORK – A few things seem reasonably certain about NBC’s new series, “Marriage Ref”: It probably won’t spotlight Snooki from “Jersey Shore.” It probably won’t get any politicians riled up. It probably won’t do any worse in the ratings than most of NBC’s shows.

But all this is raw conjecture.

No more than a handful of video bites was released to critics, even though the show was announced a year ago. Despite incessant promotion by NBC (hey, viewer, you like a little Olympic coverage with your “Marriage Ref” commercials?), vagueness cloaks the whole high-profile project.

One sure thing: Jerry Seinfeld is the high-profile draw. He’s the driving force whose very name conjures up a certain series that ended a dozen years ago after transforming TV comedy and helping fuel the glory days NBC will never know again. No wonder “Seinfeld,” even after all this time, is the magic word for a new show viewers might otherwise not even have noticed.

Trouble is, Seinfeld will mostly stay out of sight in his primary duties as a co-creator and producer.

Instead, he has bequeathed the on-camera role – the title role of Marriage Ref – to actor/standup/ not-a-householdname Tom Papa.

“Marriage Ref” was unveiled with flourish as a so-called sneak preview Sunday night – a half-hour version strategically following the Winter Olympics’ closing ceremony.

Finally, for better or worse, “Marriage Ref” goes public.

Starting tonight, it will air for eight Thursdays at 10 p.m.

The network pitches the show as a humorous, all-in-fun hour where “disputes between real-life couples are revealed, examined and ultimately judged.”

A small risk will take you beyond your expectations. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Listen to what’s being said but don’t expect everything you hear to be accurate. Get the facts straight or you’ll pay for someone else’s mistake. Situations you face with friends, neighbors and relatives will get blown out of proportion, leaving you in a vulnerable position. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t let a burden or responsibilities hold you back. Your past will speak for itself, allowing you to make professional gains. Someone you used to know can help you achieve your goals now. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Stick to what you know and do best and you will avoid opposition. Don’t get angry with people who are trying to help you. Wasting time on something you cannot change will set you back. A money matter must be settled. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Good fortune prevails. You can make financial gains, sign contracts or resolve pending settlements. Love is in the stars.

The changes you make to your home will entice someone you want to get to know better. ★★★★★

For a lot of people, middle age is that time when – to use football language – they know they need to put it all together in the second half. When you’re declarer, the second trick may be too late to put it all together.

Today’s declarer played low from dummy on the first spade, and his contract turned into Humpty Dumpty. East took the king and shifted to the jack of diamonds. South took the ace – there was no hurry to finesse – drew trumps and led the king of clubs. East won and led another diamond, and the defense got two diamonds. Down one.

WINNERS South failed to count his winners at Trick One. He can see five trumps, two spades, two clubs and a diamond, hence he can fail only if East-West win four tricks first.

South must grab the ace of spades, draw trumps and force out the ace of clubs. When East shifts to diamonds, South loses a finesse to the king; but South can win the next diamond, take the queen of clubs and pitch his last diamond on the jack of clubs.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 10 8 6 2 H 8 4 3 D K 7 6 C 9 6 3. The dealer, at your left, opens one diamond. Your partner doubles, you respond one spade and he raises to three spades. What do you say?

ANSWER: Pass. Although partner promises a huge hand – worth more than 20 points – you can’t go on. There would be some excuse to bid game if your king lay in a different suit and was a probable winner, but the king of the opening bidder’s suit is most likely worthless.

South dealer Both sides vulnerable

---

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

Villains ride Toomey

BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

KERNERSVILLE – February proved to be a pretty good month for Aaron Toomey.

The last few teams remaining in the N.C. High School Athletic Association 1A playoffs had better watch out, though.

“I think his favorite month is March,” Bishop McGuinness coach Josh Thompson said of his star point guard. “He’s doing this year exactly what he did last year.

He’s elevated his game even more and he’s really made his teammates better.”

Toomey romped through the Western Regional and state title game last year to receive MVP honors in both events. Last week in the playoffs, he guided a 16-10 Villains squad to the sectional championship by scoring 49

points, 20 points and then 51, the final figure coming in a stunning upset of 1A favorite Cherryville.

“I definitely feel like the underdog Toomey and I’m sure people look at our record and think this team doesn’t really belong here,” Thompson said. “We may have over-achieved a little bit to get where we are, but I’m not so sure it’s over-achieving as Aaron Toomey and the other guys just playing well the last five games.”

Toomey and top contributors Josh Rathburn, Atticus Lum, Trey Tatum and Mike Banks look to stop another favorite tonight at 8:30 when the Villains meet Monroe in a Western Regional semifinal at UNC Greensboro. The Redhawks own a 29-1 record and have won 20 straight games.

Issac Blakeney, a 6-foot-6 athlete who is a two-time track state champion, powers Monroe in the post to the tune of 17 points and 12 rebounds per game. He’s signed to play football for Duke and also will triple jump for the Blue Devils.

Point guard Jamison Crowder is a junior averaging 16 points, five assists and four steals per game, and he’s got ACC football offers.

Other top talents for the Redhawks include senior guard Quotez Threatt (13.7 points) and junior wing Qwadarius Duboise 13.0).

“We’ve tried to prepare ourselves for games like this with what we’ve done with our nonconference schedule,” Thompson said. “For us there are some athleticism issues, but we’ve seen teams similar to this before.”

Toomey, for one, has a way of making himself look like the most athletic player on the court in ex-

actly these kinds of games. Among those expected in the crowd tonight are coaches from Northeastern, Rhode Island, Charlotte and perhaps Fairfield, all in the chase for the McDonald’s All-American nominee. Toomey surpassed the 2,000-point plateau this year and averages 29 points, six assists, five rebounds, four steals and two turnovers per game while shooting 48 percent from the floor and 86 percent at the foul line.

He’ll sift through his college offers once he makes his official visits. Toomey and everyone else associated with Bishop hope those visits come much later in this favorite month – after Saturday’s regional championship (against the winner of HendersonvilleNantahala) and next Saturday’s state title game in Chapel Hill. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Hokies handle Wolfpack BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) – Dorenzo Hudson and Malcolm Delaney each scored 21 points to help Virginia Tech snap a three-game losing streak Wednesday night in a 7159 win over N.C. State.

The Hokies (22-7, 9-6 Atlantic Coast Conference) broke open a close game with a 14-2 run to end the first half and took a 31-22 lead at halftime on freshman Manny Atkins’ layup at the buzzer.

N.C. State hit one shot in the final 4:50 of the first half and turned the ball over four times in that span – which was part of a 13 turnover first half for the Wolfpack.

State (16-14, 4-11), which saw a modest two-game winning streak snapped, used a 10-0 run to cut the lead to 34-32 on two free throws by Javier Gonzalez with 16:17 remaining. But the Hokies responded by scoring the next 11 points, including nine on three 3pointers by Delaney.

AP State hurt itself with 20 turnovers. The Pack got N.C. State’s Scott Wood (15) fouls Virginia Tech’s Malcolm Delaney during the first half of Wednesday night’s ACC 16 points from Gonzalez game in Blacksburg, Va. Delaney finished with 21 points as the Hokies netted a 71-59 victory to improve to 9-6 in the and 12 from Tracy Smith. league and 22-7 overall. Virginia Tech, Clemson and Florida State currently share third place in the ACC.

Seminoles deal Deacs crushing blow TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – Freshman Michael Snaer scored 14 points, including two gameclinching free throws with 4 seconds left, to lead Florida State to a 51-47 win over Wake Forest on Wednesday night.

The win kept the Seminoles (218, 9-6 Atlantic Coast Conference) in a third place tie with Clemson and Virginia Tech going into the final weekend of regular season play. The top four finishers have an opening round bye in next week’s conference tournament.

Meanwhile, Wake Forest (18-9, 8-7) dropped its fourth straight game and is in danger of losing a first-round ACC Tournament bye.

The Deacons also may be playing their way out of an at-large NCAA Tournament bid.

Ish Smith led Wake with 14 points and CJ Harris had 12. The Demon Deacons leading scorer and the ACC’s top rebounder, AlFarouq Aminu, was held scoreless for the first time in his career.

Aminu, who averaged 16.4 points and 11 rebounds a game,

managed just two field goal tries against Florida State’s giant frontline and finished with four rebounds. The sophomore fouled out with 5:51 left with the Demon Deacons behind 45-44.

Florida State, which blew a six point homecourt lead with 3 minutes left in Sunday’s loss to Clemson, led by five, 49-44, with 3:40 left.

The Seminoles almost did it again, with four turnovers in the final 2:11, but Wake Forest couldn’t capitalize.

Wake came out of a timeout with 23 seconds to go for the last shot, trailing 49-47, but Ari Stewart was stripped of the ball by Chris Singleton and Snaer was fouled to set up the finishing free throws.

Florida State led through the second half, although by never more than six points.

C.J. Harris hit three free throws with a second left in the half after being fouled on a 3-point attempt, whittling Wake’s deficit to 31-25 at the break after FSU had just opened its largest lead at 31-22.

HIT AND RUN

A

s we approach March Madness, no dominant team has emerged in men’s college basketball.

You can make a strong case for several teams in the national championship mix – Syracuse, Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, Kansas State, Villanova and West Virginia immediately come to mind.

There is no such uncertainty on the women’s side. Top-ranked Connecticut ran its winning streak to 69 games with Monday night’s 76-51 rout of sixth-ranked Notre Dame.

The Huskies (30-0, 16-0 Big East) can tie their all-time record of 70 straight wins (20012003) with a victory in the Big East Tournament quarterfinals on Sunday.

That’s a safe bet.

In fact, I wouldn’t bet against the Huskies running the table for the Big East Tournament crown, then crushing six more foes en route to the national title.

How good are the Huskies?

On Monday night, center Tina Charles passed Nykesha Sales (1995-98) as the Huskies’ all-time leading scorer with 2,184 points

and moved ahead of Rebecca Lobo (1992-95) as the leading rebounder with 1,272.

And Charles is considered the second best player on the UConn roster.

Maya Moore is the unquestioned leader of the Huskies’ pack. Toss in Tiffany Hayes, Kalana Greene and Caroline Doty and you have a starting five that could all be worthy of first-team All-Big East honors.

To paraphrase a famous commercial, these girls are good.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Busch puts Atlanta lessons to good use K

urt Busch learned the lesson that you don’t mess with success when it came to racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway last season.

The success came when Busch dominated as he led 236 of 330 laps on the way to a four-lap overtime victory last March at the 1.522mile track.

The lesson was learned when Busch and SPORTS his Penske Racing Greer crew chose Smith to go with â– â– â– a different chassis setup when the Cup Series returned to AMS last September for a night race.

Busch found his Dodge to be ill-handling and eventually wrecked out of the event.

With the lesson learned and Steve Addington having replaced Pat Tryson as crew chief, Busch said this week he will use last March’s setup when he tries to repeat as winner of Kobalt Tools 500 on Sunday.

The possible flaw in that strategy this time is Goodyear will provide a slightly different compound tire as it has in other events this season. “We learned a couple of things when we went there last fall where we hit the wrong setup with a little bit of aerodynamic change as well as some rear suspension that we know that we don’t need to do,� Busch said. “So we are going back with the same package that we ran in the spring of last year. Again, there’s a tire change and that’s one thing that we’re going to have to stay on top of

Busch indicated that Addington so far has added his ideas to what the team used last year. “The way the cars are built at Penske Racing, the crew chief does have the recipe for whatever he wishes to bring to the race track or have built back at the garage,�

Busch said. “The way that Steve’s been setting them up, we’re branching off our 2009 setups to start with. We threw in a couple odds and ends at Vegas and got us a pole position. There are good things and there are things that we have to run through as a team.�

Busch needs a good run Sunday to help him overcome a slow 2010 start that has dropped him to 19th in driver points.

Busch targets his second straight spring victory at Atlanta on Sunday. fourth in the Chase for the Championship last season, looked like a possible victory contender in the Daytona 500 before a late pit stop helped lead to a 23rd-place finish. He finished a strong sixth at California, then wound up 35th at Las Vegas after getting caught in the Jamie McMurray/Juan Pablo Montoya wreck. “It’s just one of those deals,� Busch said. That’s how racing goes. We could have not pitted at Daytona and not gotten in that wreck in Vegas and we’d be sitting pretty. It’s just the way things shake out and you have to deal with it in this sport.

There’s no reason to hang our head low. “We haven’t done anything terribly wrong. We finished sixth at California, which was a nice finish for us. The tough part of it is that (Jimmie Johnson) has won two races and we can’t lose sight of what we need to do

to compete at that level.�

That level, Busch said, is to be nearly perfect as he was at AMS last spring or when he won at Texas Motor Speedway in November. “That’s what we have to find every weekend, because that’s the feel Jimmie Johnson has in his car and that’s a racewinning car,� Busch said. “The challenge for me is to find those setups each and every week. When we sat on the pole in Vegas, there was the indication of a perfect car. “That’s our job week in and week out and when you beat those guys (48 team), that’s something special. The challenge they present that no other team does is the fact that when it’s the final pit stop or when it comes down to the final sequence and you have to have your car even better than perfect, that’s when those guys seem to stand above the rest.� gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Panthers give tenders to Davis, Moore, Marshall CHARLOTTE (AP) – The Carolina Panthers made it clear Wednesday they didn’t want to lose quarterback Matt Moore, giving the restricted free agent the highest possible tender.

Ahead of his anticipated competition with Jake Delhomme for the starting job, the Panthers offered Moore a one-year deal worth $3.043 million. That means another team

would have to surrender first- and third-round draft picks to Carolina to sign him. The Panthers also placed the first- and third-round tender of $3.268 million on starting outside linebacker Thomas Davis. They decided to use just the second-round tender of $1.759 million on starting cornerback Richard Marshall.

Tight end Jeff King ($1.759 mil-

lion) and defensive tackle Louis Leonard ($1.684 million) also received second-round tenders, while LB James Anderson ($1.176 million) and DT Tank Tyler ($1.101 million) were given third-round tenders.

Kickoff specialist Rhys Lloyd, safety Quinton Teal and tackle Rob Petitti were among Carolina’s restricted free agents not offered deals.

Pierce, Celtics cruise past Bobcats CHARLOTTE (AP) – Paul Pierce scored 27 points to lead the Boston Celtics to a 104-80 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday night.

Nate Robinson had 16 points, including three

3-pointers in a 90-second span bridging the first and second quarters to key a 16-0 run, for the Celtics.

Kevin Garnett added 12 points as Boston won its second straight and beat

up on Charlotte for the third time this season.

Tyrus Thomas had 15 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Bobcats, losers of five of six, and D.J. Augustin scored 12 points.

UNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ginyard shows his stuff on Senior Night

BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

CHAPEL HILL â&#x20AC;&#x201C; After North Carolina beat Miami 69-62 at the Smith Center on Tuesday night, Coach Roy Williams said he introduced the freshman to senior Marcus Ginyard in the locker room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Marcus weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known in the past that you guys have not been able to see,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Williams said.

The fifth-year senior, who has struggled at times this season, had arguably his best game of the year in his final regular-season game at the Smith Center, as he scored 12 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for his first career doubledouble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He played like a man,â&#x20AC;? freshman John Henson said.

It has been an up and down season for Ginyard, who redshirted a year ago because of a stress fracture in his left foot.

Before the season began, the expectations were set high, as many thought he would take on the role that David Noel played in the 2005-06 season. Noel, who Williams has frequently called the best leader he has ever coached, averaged 12.9 points and 6.8 rebounds

to guide a freshman-laden team to a surprising second-place finish in the ACC after losing the top seven scorers from a national championship squad.

And Ginyard started this season strong, scoring in double figures in five of the first nine games to lead UNC to a 7-2 record before sitting out the Presbyterian win with a bruised left foot. He returned in time for a loss to then-No. 2 Texas at Dallas Cowboys Stadium and a victory over Marshall, then missed the next three games with a sprained right ankle.

The most recent game he missed was the overtime loss at the College of Charleston, which seemed to shake the Tar Heelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; confidence and was the start of UNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downward slide.

When Ginyard finally returned for the ACC opener against Virginia Tech, he was not quite as explosive and seemed to have lost his shooting touch.

In UNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first seven ACC games, Ginyard shot 8-of-35 from the floor and recorded just 23 points. He finally scored in double figures for the first time since the Dec. 22 win over Marshall when he had 17 in a loss to Maryland on Feb. 7.

Which new faces will step up at ACC tourney?

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Only one thing is certain for this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Atlantic Coast Conference womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament: Some traditional powers will be heading home early.

Duke, Maryland and North Carolina have combined to win the last 10 championships, and some combination of two of them have met for the title in every year but one since 2001.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way that happens this year. The Terrapins and Tar Heels play in the first round today in Greensboro, with the winner facing the top-seeded Blue Devils (24-5) in the quarterfinals. That opens the door for several new faces to make deep runs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; possibly all the way to Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship game.

Like second-seeded Florida State (26-4), which has never advanced past the semifinals. Or No. 3 seed Virginia (21-8), which hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won multiple ACC tournament games since 1994. Or even fourthseeded Georgia Tech (22-8), which for the first time claimed a bye into the quarterfinals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think all of the teams have shown their nights of brilliance,â&#x20AC;? Duke coach Joanne P. McCallie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a big year for equity and parity and things of that nature.â&#x20AC;?

Indeed, heading into the final weekend of the regular season, there seemingly was only one constant: Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dominance. The Blue Devils wrapped up the No. 1 seed with a rout of Virginia, and threatened to turn the tournament into the Duke Invitational, with the only thing standing between them and a 13-1 conference finish was a North Carolina team struggling through its worst season in years.

But in an untimely slip-up, Duke was upset by the Tar Heels to give the Seminoles a share of the regular-season title. The win also provided a glimmer of optimism for UNC and perhaps even expose a few flaws in the Blue Devilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lineup.

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baseball game between High Point University and East Carolina has been postponed due to poor field conditions caused by snow at Williard Stadium. The game is tentatively rescheduled for March 17 at 6 p.m.

The Panthers (4-2) will host Towson this weekend for a three-game series beginning Friday at 4 p.m. at Williard Stadium.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Carolina Hurricanes traded five veteran players and stockpiled draft picks in a flurry of deals before the NHL deadline.

General manager Jim Rutherford says the Hurricanes dealt defenseman Joe Corvo to the Washington Capitals, forwards Stephane Yelle and prospect Harrison Reed to the Colorado Avalanche and defenseman Andrew Alberts to the Vancouver Canucks.

Storms cost airline $30 million in sales TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — US Airways Group Inc. said Wednesday that severe winter storms on the East Coast in February cost it $30 million in lost sales as the carrier had to cancel thousands of flights and suspend operations for six days at three major airports.

The airline said it canceled 7.1 percent of its flights last month because of the storms — the highest cancellation rate since it was acquired by America West in 2005.

US Airways, which has more departures on the East Coast than any other airline, said its traffic fell to 3.85 billion revenue passenger

Costco profit rises on global sales ISSAQUAH, Wash.

(AP) — Strong overseas sales growth and increased gasoline prices boosted Costco Wholesale Corp.’s revenue in the second quarter, and the warehouse club operator’s profit climbed 25 percent.

Costco’s earnings were shy of analyst expectations, however, and its stock fell $2.38, or 3.9 percent, to $59 in premarket trading.

Yogurt plant coming to Statesville STATESVILLE — Stamey Farms is partnering with Ecuador’s leading yogurt producer to build a $7.5 million yogurt plant and develop a line of yogurts for distribution throughout the Southeast.

The plant could open by year’s end near Stamey Farms off Interstate 40 in western Iredell County.

It will employ at least 32 people, Stamey Farms owner Bob Stamey said.

Stamey Farms has been one of America’s leading exporters of live dairy cattle.

Iredell County has the most number of dairy cows in the state, so the county is a good fit for a plant producing a product that relies on milk,

Oil rises above $80 a barrel NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices rose above $80 a barrel Wednesday as the dollar weakened and refineries increased production ahead of the traditionally busy summer driving season.

By midday, benchmark crude for April delivery climbed $1.10 to $80.78 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

miles from 4.04 billion a year earlier. A revenue passenger mile represents one paying passenger flown one mile.

The number of available seats, called the airline’s capacity, also fell as the carrier was forced to park planes to wait out the snow.

But its occupancy rate rose as passengers from canceled flights were diverted to fill empty space on other flights.

US Airways’ operations were suspended for three days in February at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, two days at Philadelphia International which is one of its base airports and

one day at New York’s LaGuardia.

On Tuesday, Continental Airlines Inc. said it lost $25 million due to the storms. The carrier, which has a base in Newark, N.J., is the only other major airline to report sales losses related to the snow.

In a bright spot in February, US Airways said more lucrative business travelers are returning to the skies. Its corporate booking sales leaped 35 percent last month compared with a year earlier. Many businesses cut corporate travel during the recession, while others put frequent fliers in cheaper coach seats to save money.

Garmin brings jobs to Cary MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

CARY — Garmin, the country’s largest maker of satellite navigation devices, has become the latest technology company to choose Cary for its first Triangle office.

The Olathe, Kan., company plans to move to a building near U.S. 1 and U.S.64 by April 1. Garmin is on track to have about 40 engineers and other employees in the research center, said Ted Gartner, a Garmin spokesman.

And there are signs the company may be plotting further expansion.

The Cary Town Council on Thursday discussed a $60,000 economic incentives deal for the company.

Rules governing economic development limit offers of incentives to companies that have already committed to a location. The rules also

encourage new construction.

Garmin committed to space at Duke Realty’s Regency Forest II building. Duke’s Regency Forest buildings were 94 percent occupied at the end of December. And Duke has land to build more.

Scott Fogleman, Cary’s budget director, declined to offer specifics. As did Gartner: “We don’t discuss whether or not we’re in negotiations to receive incentives,” he said.

In December, Cary declined to grant an incentives package to British electronics manufacturing company ACW Technology. Town officials cited concerns over a slower financial payback and a lower-than-desired average salary.

That came four months after the town agreed to give a $75,000 cash incentive to Deutsche Bank, which promised to create 319 jobs in Cary.

Most retail sectors see NEW YORK (AP) — Most retail sectors including electronics and luxury items saw sales gains in February, data released Wednesday show, though snowstorms that shut in shoppers also chilled sales at women’s clothing stores.

The latest numbers from MasterCard Advisors’ SpendingPulse also show online sales rose sharply and sales of footwear and men’s clothing also increased compared with a year earlier.

The figures, which track

transactions in all forms including cash, really just signal stabilization, however, analysts said, because February 2009 sales were abysmal and consumer confidence had hit an alltime low.

“The disruptive weather did impact things,” said Michael McNamara, vice president of research and analysis for SpendingPulse.

But spending overall remains tepid amid high unemployment and tight credit, he said.

Stocks end mixed on Fed outlook NEW YORK (AP) — Early gains in stocks unraveled Wednesday on concern that the economy will see a slow recovery.

Stocks ended mixed after the Federal Reserve said that economic activity has improved in nine of its 12 districts but that the gains are “modest.”

The report dampened the enthusiasm that followed an upbeat report on services industries and more takeover news.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 9 points. For a second day, the Dow erased its losses for 2010 before surrendering its advance by the close.

The slowdown came after three straight days of gains.

The early gains followed more indications of a recovery in the economy.

But the Fed’s report in the afternoon raised concerns that the rebound might continue at a slower pace.

Major stock indexes stand at their highest levels since mid-January, when the Standard & Poor’s 500 index began a 9.2 percent pullback on concerns that the market was getting too far ahead of the still-struggling economy.

The Dow fell 9.22, or 0.1 percent, to 10,396.76.

It had risen nearly 64 points.

The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 0.48, or less than 0.1 percent, to 1,118.79.

Greece deepens cuts, raises sales taxes try’s president on the new measures, which amount to savings of €4.8 billion ($6.5 billion), or roughly 2 percent of the entire Greek economy.

Bond ratings agencies – whose approval is crucial to taking pressure off Greece’s finances – liked the plan. Moody’s said they were a “clear manifestation” of resolve to regain control of Greece’s strained public finances and increase the probability that the debt situation in Greece will be stabilized.

The cuts are aimed at winning European Union support for the country’s efforts and possibly open-

ing the door to a financial backstop by fellow European governments. That would pave the way for a bond offering in the coming days that is needed to roll over debts that are coming due. Greece must roll over €54 billion this year.

A Greek default or an expensive bailout would be a blow to the euro and the 11year-old project of running a shared currency.

Greek officials won verbal support from EU leaders, but also said they would not rule out IMF help. The IMF is already offering advice, but European Union officials have said an IMF bailout is not needed.

ECB to signal end of more crisis measures LONDON (AP) – The European Central Bank is expected to announce today that special lending to banks introduced during the financial crisis will be scaled back – even though recovery from recession is proving to be weaker than hoped.

Rates are expected to stay unchanged – and the bank may echo the U.S. Federal Reserve that though some emergency measures can be eased, the economy will be too weak for rates to rise soon.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) – Greece announced painful new austerity measures Wednesday, cutting salaries for government workers and raising taxes at the sales register, winning approval from the European Union as it tries to snuff out a financial crisis that threatens Europe’s economy.

The government also said it wouldn’t rule out turning the International Monetary Fund for help, a move that has been resisted by the EU. The decisions to make the cuts were “not taken out of choice but out of necessity,” Papandreou said as he briefed the coun-

running, today’s monthly news conference of the European Central Bank president Jean-Claude Trichet will likely be hijacked by questions about the crisis surrounding Greece’s huge budget deficit in the wake of the government’s latest batch of budget cuts.

The economic outlook, monetary policy and the debt crisis afflicting Greece are all connected though – most analysts think that partly as a result of the problems in Greece, the European Central Bank will keep its benchmark interest rate on hold at the record low of

1 percent for most, if not all of, this year.

“Greek default can be avoided but the ECB has gone from the front of the queue to raise rates to the back,” said Kit Juckes, chief economist at ECU Group.

Though Greece has been hanging like a cloud above the European economy and economic policy-making, Trichet is expected to confirm that special liquidity measures introduced to prop up the banking system during the financial crisis and the recession will continue to be wound down.

Attorney Geoffrey Fieg-
