Aid groups offer assistance. 2A BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Claudia Femenias became accustomed to earthquakes when she grew up in Chile. “We know about earthquakes, and we live with them,” said Femenias, associate professor of Spanish at High Point University, about her native country. “We’re used to recovering from them.” So when she received a phone call from a friend on Feb. 27 who told her that an earthquake had struck Chile, she thought it might be similar to the ones she had experienced as a child. “But when I saw the news, I saw that it was devastating,” she said. Hugo Hormazabal, a sophomore at the university and also from Chile, was sitting in his dorm room when he received a similar call from his father about the 8.8 magnitude earthquake that shook the country early that Saturday morning.

WHO’S NEWS

INSIDE

----

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

High Point University professor Dr. Claudia Fermenias, a native of Santiago, Chile, speaks about quake in her homeland. He scoured the news like Femenias and began to wonder if other friends and family, particularly those that he knew in Talca, one of the areas that suffered heavy damage, had survived. “I got through to several family members, but other phone lines were saturated,” Hormazabal said. “Luckily, everyone I’ve talked to so far has been fine.” Both Femenias and Hormazabal are from the Chil-

ean capital of Santiago, which didn’t experience much damage from the quake – or any of the tsunamis that followed – compared to the country’s south-central coast. Their family and friends survived the incident, though Hormazabal’s family has a real estate business with some property that was damaged by the disaster. Femenias said the event may not seem as devastating to the public compared to the Haitian

earthquake, though just as much damage was caused. “The same sense of devastation hasn’t been created as with Haiti because not as many people died,” she said. “But nothing is standing there (in Chile’s impacted areas).” Hormazabal, who hopes to return to Chile this summer for an internship with the Bank of Chile, said his greatest concern lies in the country’s plans to rebuild itself. “I know we expected the

international community to help, but I think this is an opportunity for all cities to bond and help each other as a country,” he said. Femenias echoed those sentiments. “My concern is how long it is going to take for the construction and if it will be good construction,” she said. “It isn’t going to take six months. It’s going to take a couple of years.”

Showroom parent company seeks debt restructuring BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE FILE

Merchandise Mart Properties entered the High Point showroom property market in 1998 when it purchased Market Square from a group of local businessmen.

HIGH POINT – The parent company of the owner and operator of Market Square and other furniture showrooms is moving to restructure its High Point property debt, though an executive said the move doesn’t indicate difficulties with its local holdings. Merchandise Mart Properties Inc., which has 2.1 million square feet of showroom space at the High Point Market, is a subsidiary of New Jersey-based Vornado Realty Trust. On Tuesday, Vornado filed a disclosure form with the Securities and Exchange Commission about the debt secured through its High Point properties. The High Point showrooms are operated for Vornado through Chicago-

based Merchandise Mart Properties, one of the largest trade showroom operators in the country. The filing indicates that the “nonrecourse debt secured by the properties was approximately $217.8 million” and that Vornado isn’t “prepared at this time to fund any shortfalls in debt service.” But Merchandise Mart Properties Senior Vice President Myron Maurer told The High Point Enterprise that there are no current delinquencies in the debt payment and no threat of default. The Securities and Exchange Commission filing is part of the process of seeking to restructure the debt at better terms, Maurer said. Merchandise Mart Properties entered the High Point

showroom property market in 1998 when it purchased Market Square from a group of local businessmen. The company, through subsequent showroom purchases, has become the second-largest holder of showroom properties at the High Point Market. Vornado’s move with the High Point properties comes shortly after the real estate investment trust reported declining financial numbers for 2009, reflecting the recession and the soft commercial property market. On Feb. 23, Vornado reported net income attributable to common shareholders for 2009 totaled $49.1 million, down 84 percent from $302.2 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2008. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

GUILFORD COUNTY – State Sen. Katie Dorsett, DGuilford, said she didn’t conspire to keep fellow Democrat Bruce Davis off the ballot in the 28th State Senate District and that Davis had plenty of time to file for the race last month. Dorsett, a former state Cabinet official from Greensboro first elected to the Senate in 2002, initially filed for re-election during the candidate filing period in February, but she withdrew on Feb. 26 – the final day of filing – citing family commitments. Davis held a press conference Friday in High Point to say he would have filed to run for the Senate

seat had he known ahead of time that Dorsett would retire. Davis plans a petition campaign to get his name on the Nov. 2 general election ballot as an unaffiliated candidate. Dorsett denied Davis’ accusation that she conspired with friends and power-brokers in Greensboro to keep Davis, who’s of High Point, off the ballot. It’s been more than 20 years since a state senator was from High Point. “He had three weeks to file in the race just like anyone else,” she said. Davis acknowledged at a press conference Friday he could have filed for the 28th State Senate District race, but said he didn’t do so out of respect for Dorsett. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

name on the Nov. 2 general election ballot in a local state legislative race. Davis, the Democratic District 1 commissioner from High Point, said Friday Greensboro power-brokers conspired to have state Sen. Katie Dorsett, D-Guilford, withdraw her candidacy just before the candidate filing period concluded Feb. 26. her on the ballot. Davis, who lost by a wide margin to Dorsett in the Democratic state Senate primary two years ago, said he would have filed for the race had he known that Dorsett would retire. Davis instead filed last month for re-election to his commissioner seat, a race in which he faces no opponent. State election law does allow a candidate to run for one race while petitioning to be on the ballot in another one as an unaffiliated candidate, though it rarely happens, said Gary Bartlett, director of the N.C. State Board of Elections in Raleigh. Davis would need to gather approximately 5,000 signatures by late June to be listed

on the general election ballot as an unaffiliated Senate candidate, said George Gilbert, director of the Guilford County Board of Elections. If Davis won both races, he could only take the oath of office for one post, Bartlett said. Davis spoke Friday at a press conference at the Guilford County Courthouse in High Point. The gathering drew several High Point elected officials, including Mayor Becky Smothers, City Council members Bernita Sims, Foster Douglas and Mary Lou Blakeney and Guilford County Board of Education member Carlvena Foster. State Rep. Earl Jones, DGuilford, said “the system failed Bruce, and I understand his response.” Jones, who’s from Greensboro, said he is considering a bill for the 2011 session of the N.C. General Assembly to prevent candidates from withdrawing within five days of the conclusion of the filing period. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Mad emu attacks deputies along freeway EL PASO, Texas (AP) – A mad emu gave deputies a Texas-sized hard time. El Paso authorities say the big bird was running loose Tuesday, snarling rush-hour traffic near Interstate 10 and attack-

ing deputies trying to restrain it. Deputies with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office tried to prevent the tall, flightless bird from running into traffic. But when deputies neared the emu, it became ag-

gressive and slashed one deputy’s pant leg. The deputy was not seriously injured. The emu died as it was being transported to an animal control shelter. The cause of death was not immediately known.

CONCEPCION, Chile (AP) – The most powerful aftershock in the last six days sent terrified Chileans fleeing into quakeshattered streets and forced doctors to evacuate some patients from a major hospital on Friday as the nation struggled to comprehend the scope of the disaster that hit it. People raced into the streets in pajamas as a magnitude-6.0 aftershock struck Concepcion shortly before dawn. A magnitude-6.6 shock at 8:47 a.m. (6:47 a.m. EST; 1147 GMT) then rattled buildings for nearly a minute. It was the strongest aftershock since a magnitude-6.9 jolt shortly after

ISLAMABAD (AP) – A suicide bomber targeted Shiite Muslims on two buses being escorted by security forces through a northwestern Pakistan border area rife with sectarian and insurgent violence, killing 12 people Friday. Tensions between Pakistan’s majority Sunni Muslims and Shiites had

made the road unsafe for the minorities traveling to the nearby Kurram tribal region. Police recently had declared it safe, but Shiites are provided security to travel through it. Friday’s attack only targeted the buses carrying Shiites, police official Akram Ullah said.

Haiti bill hits $2.2B; Every dollar criticized PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – The world’s bill for the Haitian earthquake is large and growing – now $2.2 billion – and so is the criticism about how the money is being spent. A half-million homeless received tarps and tents; far more are still waiting under soggy bed sheets in camps that reek of human waste. More than 4.3 million people got emergency food rations; few will be able to feed themselves anytime soon. Medical aid went to thousands, but long-term care isn’t even on the horizon.

Saturday’s historic quake and it sent office chairs spilling from upper floor of an already-damaged 22story building. Fear of additional damage led officials to evacuate some patients from the regional hospital in downtown Concepcion. “They sent us all home,� said 47-year-old Aaron Valenzuela, who hobbled through the street because four toes had been amputated due to an injury he suffered in Saturday’s big quake.

nities, to Australia and the United States. The United Nations refugee agency estimates that around 2 million Iraqis are living abroad – the majority of whom fled violence following the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. A large proportion of those – particularly in Jordan and Syria – are Sunni Arabs who fled the fierce wave of sectarian killings at the height of the Iraq war.

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) – Thousands of Iraqis living abroad lined up at polling stations to cast ballots in their homeland’s crucial parliamentary elections Friday, a constituency Iraq’s Sunni Arab minority hope will boost their showing. Voting was being held in 16 countries across the globe, from neighboring Syria and Jordan, which are home to the largest Iraqi expatriate commu-

That has made their votes a major focus of attention for Sunni leaders in Iraq, who are hoping a solid turnout among their community will counterbalance a strong vote among the Shiite majority for their own religious parties. Voting abroad will be held for three days, while in Iraq most voters go to the polls on Sunday, choosing a 325-seat legislature.

LONDON – British Prime Minister Gordon Brown insisted Friday the decision to invade Iraq was justified, but told a major inquiry into the war that the United States dismissed warnings of chaos and violence once Saddam Hussein was toppled. In four hours of evidence to Britain’s inquiry on Iraq, a somber Brown repeatedly expressed regret over the lost lives of soldiers and civilians, and acknowledged mistakes were made by leaders in Washington.

JAKARTA, Indonesia – A magnitude-6.5 undersea earthquake shook the western shore of Indonesia’s Sumatra island on Friday, causing panic but no casualties or damage, an official said. The quake struck late at night 74 miles southeast of Pagai Selatan, an island off the western coast of Sumatra, Indonesian Meteorology and Geophysics Agency official Gian Ginanjar said. The quake struck 6 miles beneath the Indian Ocean bed. There was no tsunami potential, he said.

TOM BLOUNT: An exciting election season looms for America. TOMORROW

Opposition to Obama is not based on his race A few years ago, I was a devoted reader of Leonard Pitts. But alas and alack, he has morphed into an apologist for black. And that is so unnecessary. There is no conflict in my feelings about black and white, but I don’t go around campaigning for either color. It seems that Pitts is hung up on black, and so to him, white must be an unbearable and intolerable burden on society. For Pitts to describe our president as “eloquent, fiercely intelligent and black” is only one-third correct. He is black. We conservatives do not disagree with Obama because he is black, but because he is arrogantly, contemptuously and consistently wrong and dishonest. As for the woman who “cried plaintively” that she wanted her country back, I can only say that the Democratic Party seems to have a corner on sob stories. Of course, that is a big part of their agenda of deceit. Do they really care as much about their constituent’s problems as they care about their votes?

I do not know where we are headed in this country, but I know that if we don’t reject the contempt and utter disregard that liberals have for the common man, things are going to get much worse. If it were not for the common man and the blessings of God in this great country, we could not have become the most successful, productive and generous country in the world. The mystery of the day is how all the liberal “intelligentsia” can be so misled. Thank God for the likes of Thomas Sowell, Armstrong Williams and Justice Clarence Thomas. May their tribe increase. They are proof that the common man with great intelligence, with faith and with the wisdom that comes from God, can soar to great heights, even if he is black. SARA POOL High Point

Teen waitress should be glad that she has the job In response to Mary Dunn (Your View, Feb. 20 “Diners should be fair in tipping wait staff”) about tipping the young lady waiting on tables, the young woman is lucky to have a job to begin with. In my teens, I had to work hauling wood for 50 cents a day, loading and unloading five loads a day to customers who heated their homes at that time. I never heard of a tip. It made me a better person, one who doesn’t ask for handouts even to this day. Hot weather, cold weather, I was in it. I never had the advantage of a college education. I would have thought I had died and gone to heaven to have a pie job like kids have today. Everybody is about the almighty dollar. No giving of their time to others. That’s what

builds character and makes us stronger like our forefathers, instead of the wanting-somethingfor-nothing crowd of our ruptured society of today. Look at this welfare world out there. Gimme, gimme, gimme. Here’s a tip, thank God for your good health and that you are able to work. DAVE CECIL Trinity

Justice Center study is a wise move

Allan Thompson, 2622 W. Center Street Ext., Lexington, NC 27295; 249-1886; althompson@ lexcominc.net Kenny Meredith, P.O. Box 24097, WinstonSalem, NC 27114; 764-4676; kdm@ rymcoinc.com

Sun Journal of New Bern, Feb. 25 We have a prime opportunity in the coming year or two to take a step back, look at those we send to our state prisons and how long we require them to remain behind bars. North Carolina state government will be partnering with the Council of State Government’s Justice Center to conduct a “Justice Reinvestment” study. The study is aimed at looking at objective data surrounding our criminal justice system and looking at options for redirecting our money that could change the number of people sent to prison while at the same time reducing crime. The Justice Center has a track record of helping other states. Two that come to mind are Texas and Kansas, where hundreds of millions of dollars have been saved by strengthening their probation and parole systems, resulting in reduced recidivism. As a growing state, North Carolina will have to spend millions building new prisons, and even additional dollars providing correction officers to oversee new prisoners if the state continues on its current track. That is sure to hit taxpayers in the pocketbook or eat into other state priorities. While we see public safety as a top priority for state government, we also think money spent protecting us from criminals should be spent wisely. We hope the study group will take a hard look at the effectiveness of our “habitual felon” law, sometimes called a “three strikes” law. Is this really necessary, particularly for non-violent felons? The state’s sentencing structure already takes into account previous convictions. The habitual felon law seems to be unnecessary duplication, an excuse to, figuratively speaking, lock someone up and throw away the key. Taking a hard look at how we incarcerate people on non-trafficking drug charges would also be wise. Perhaps we would be wise to start looking at drug abuse as a health problem instead of a criminal justice problem. What’s encouraging about the study is the cross-section of North Carolina leaders supporting the effort. Leaders from all three branches of state government have signed on, as have leaders of both political parties in the General Assembly. It will certainly be a good thing for us to take off our partisan and ideological filters to see what the study reveals. At worst, we’ll have a lot of data available on which to base future decisions. At best, we could save hundreds of millions of tax dollars and have a safer state.

Academy Awards hypocrisy makes me turn the channel

L

ike most people, I enjoy movies. And over the years, I’ve watched my share of Academy Awards shows. But not this year. First of all, there isn’t a single film among the 10 nominated for Best Picture that is deserving of such recognition. A sci-fi movie about alien refugees, “District 9,” and a revisionist World War II Jews-avenging-againstHitler flick, “Inglorious Basterds” are just two of the nominees. Are we to believe that these films represent what the term “Best Picture” implies? The other reason why I won’t be tuning in to the Oscars is the strange hypocrisy that surrounds the “rules” of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Specifically, the Nicolas Chartier situation as compared to the Roman Polanski saga. Chartier, one of the producers of Best Picture nominee, “The Hurt Locker,” sent an e-mail to Academy voters lobbying his film. He made the mistake of disparaging another nominated film, asking voters to pick his film and “not a $500M film” – James Cameron’s hugely successful “Avatar.” By disparaging another film in competition, he violated Academy rules. The Academy announced that Chartier would be barred from attending the Academy Awards as punishment for his infraction. My problem isn’t with the Academy’s decision, which was just. It’s when one compares this infraction of Academy “rules” to the current matter pertaining to Roman Polanski, who had been awarded the Academy Award for his 2002 film “The Pianist,” wherein one must question the arbitrary nature of said rules. Polanski, for those unfamiliar, is currently under arrest in Zurich, awaiting extradition to the United States for the March 1977 rape of then-13 year old Samantha Geimer, which took place in California. According to public record, Polanski gave the teenager champagne and a Quaalude then raped and sodomized her. He pleaded not guilty, but in a later plea bargain, he pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful intercourse with a minor. Following 42 days of psychological evalu-

ation in 1978, Polanski was released and was to appear before the court for sentencing. Instead, he fled the country, first to England, then to France, where he remained since. In September 2009, he was picked up by Swiss OPINION authorities at the request of the U.S. upon his entering Robert Switzerland. Although he Healy fought extradition, a Califor■■■ nia Superior Court judge ruled that he needed to be returned to the U.S. to face sentencing. The Academy’s “rules” dictated that Chartier be punished for his overzealous lobbying, yet Polanski – a child rapist – was rewarded with an Oscar. Why wasn’t Polanski shunned by the Hollywood establishment? Why are people in support of him? Granted, the man is a gifted filmmaker, but this is not about artistic merit. Concerning the Academy, there’s a clear double standard. Some believe that too much time has passed and Polanski should be left alone. Even the victim herself said as much. Geimer, in an unusual op-ed supportive of Polanski’s nomination in 2003 wrote, “Mr. Polanski and his film should be honored according to the quality of the work. What he does for a living and how good he is at it have nothing to do with me or what he did to me.” Should the public just forget it and move on? If it were your 13-year-old daughter, could you just let bygones be bygones? No, I have no interest in watching the Academy Awards. Like the Nobel Prizes after they awarded the Peace Prize to Barack Obama, who would escalate the war in Afghanistan, it’s too much hypocrisy. On March 7, I’ll be watching something else: Martin Scorsese’s excellent 2004 film, “The Aviator.” Now THAT’s entertainment.

Mark’s house plays pivotal role From Acts 12:12 and 13: Peter had been arrested by Herod Antipas after Herod put James the brother of John to death. An angel STUDYING appeared to Peter THE CHURCH during the night in prison and led Peter out of the Mark jail. From verses Nickens 12 and 13: When ■■■ this [escape] had dawned on him, he went to the

house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying. Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer the door. We find out several things. (1) Mark’s mother was named Mary. (2) Her house was a central gathering place in the early Christian movement. We know this because of two reasons: (a) As soon as Peter realized he was free he went straight to Mary’s house and (b)

a lot of people had already gone there to pray for Peter. (3) She was wealthy. Verse 13 shows that a servant girl came to the door and let Peter in. Mary was wealthy enough to have live-in help; Peter came at night and she answered the door at night, which meant she probably lived there. So, Mark’s mother Mary was a wealthy woman whose home was recognized as an important gathering spot in early Christianity. From Mark 14:51 and 52: Jesus had eaten the Last Supper

How to Be a Better Friend

Our Family Serving Yours #OMMERCIAL 2ESIDENTIAL s 0EST #ONTROL Termite Control

Free Inspection Charles Arnold - Owner In his book “How to Win Friends WDIRs 336-887-8006 and Influence People,” Dale Carnegie gives some very simple and straightforward advice on making friends, namely, “Become genuinely interested in other people.” One easy way to do this is to ask people questions about their interests and concerns. These These things I have spoken unto questions should go beyond superficial questions about their you, that in me ye might have jobs or their education, or how their families are doing, and peace. In the world ye shall have instead should strive to get to the more interesting kernel of tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. their affairs. A good question about someone’s profession John 16:33 might ask what motivated them to go into their field, or what sort of interesting developments are happening in their field today. People love to talk about themselves and their interests, and by talking less about ourselves and inquiring more about others, we help to build a genuine interest in them. We might find that other people really do have something interesting to tell us. Ralph Waldo Emerson is reputed to have said that “Every man I meet is in some way my superior; and in that I can learn from him.” Whether Emerson actually said this or not, the sentiment is certainly one we all should take to heart. We should listen to our friends and neighbors, and perhaps even to our enemies, and by taking a genuine interest in their lives and their concerns we might just learn a thing or two. We will certainly gain their friendship and affection.

eading between the lines sometimes can bring out fascinating details. Such is the case with Mark, the author of the Gospel of Mark. Reading between the lines reveals a great story about his house. Now this is just a theory, but the different parts do seem to add up. I will go ahead and tell you the theory and then lay out the parts: Jesus ate the Last Supper at Mark’s house. We can piece this together from four verses in the New Testament.

The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.

2 Samuel 22:3 KJV

Coble campaign in unfamiliar primary position

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Rep. Howard Coble, R-6th, finds himself in electoral territory that he’s surprised to be treading. Up until this year, the veteran conservative congressman, who represents parts of the High Point, hadn’t faced a Republican primary challenger since his first bid for the office 26 years ago. The 13-term representative from Greensboro acknowledges he didn’t expect five Republican challengers from the Piedmont to file against him in the party primary. The candidate filing period concluded Feb. 26. Coble, Guilford County Commissioner Billy Yow, Coble furniture showroom manager Cathy Brewer Hinson of High Point, James Taylor of Pinehurst, businessman Jon Mangin of Stokesdale and Jeff Phillips of Greensboro square off in the May 4 primary. The Republican nominee will take on Democratic challenger Sam Turner of Salisbury in the Nov. 2 general election. The district has the highest concentration of registered Republican voters among the state’s 13 congressional districts. Throughout his career, Coble has received recognition from conservative groups and think tanks for a conservative voting record, so the congressman doesn’t believe his long track record of House votes explains the outpouring of challengers. “I think one thing this year that’s different from other campaigns is the anger that’s present. People are just fed up with Washington,” he said. Coble and his supporters are taking encouragement from the outcome of Republican congressional primaries in Texas Tuesday, one of the first major elections this year. Eleven Texas Republican representatives faced primary challengers, and all incumbents won by comfortable to overwhelming margins, according to election returns. Coble said the number of 6th District Republican candidates does reflect a positive for the GOP – the growth of the party in North Carolina. “When I first started in this game (in the 1960s), we did well to halfway fill up the Republican side of the ballot. Now, by golly, we have primaries. I regard that as progress within the Republican Party,” the congressman said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Author’s birthday inspires students BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – One elementary school in Davidson County this week celebrated the birthday of a famous author of children’s books by helping others. Celebrating the birthday of Dr. Seuss, Fair Grove Elementary School held a food drive all week, with the exception of being out due to snow Wednesday. As an entire school effort, students collected more than 1,200 cans of food that will be donated to the Fair Grove Family Resource Center. “He was a phenomenal writer, and all of his books have a message,” said Joanie Williams, Fair Grove Elementary’s media coordinator. “They are not just silly jibber-jabber, which a whole

lot of people think. Some of them are very deep, social commentaries, so I’ve really tried to talk to the kids about that. “We did a can food drive because he was very involved in the environment and his community, so I said, ‘Kids lets celebrate his birthday by doing something for our community,’ so that was our focus.” Williams said for each can a student donated, they were able to put their name in a box for the chance to win a prize, with 10 of the students in kindergarten through second grade winning a Dr. Seuss book and 10 students from grades three through five receiving a book fair coupon. “I don’t know if that is what motivated some of them, but some of them are

like, ‘Don’t even put my name in. I don’t care. I’m just glad to bring in the cans,’” Williams said. Terri Nelson, executive director of Fair Grove Family Resource Center, said Fair Grove Elementary’s food drive helps because donations are down during a “critical time” for the center when the demand is high in the winter. “I thought the theme was very original and creative as well,” Nelson said. “I even have a friend whose son dressed up as The Cat in the Hat, so the kids were very theme oriented. “It’s great that they could combine academics with nonprofit food donations, learning how to help their neighbor.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Commissioners OK grant for shopping center BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – County officials approved a $124,000 incentive grant Thursday for a Greensboro grocery shopping center after the new program survived a death vote. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners approved the three-year grant on a 7-2 vote following a public hearing. The small business incentive is linked a $6.2 million investment in the new Lowes Food shopping center. A motion to stop the program failed by a simi-

lar margin, with Commissioners Paul Gibson and Kirk Perkins voting to kill it. The two Democrats also voted against the grant. Republican Commissioner Billy Yow abstained because his water well-driling business has worked for the developers. “This policy does not speak to jobs,” Gibson said. “And I don’t think this is a small mom-andpop business.” The Granite Church Street LLC project at 582028 Church Street would create 64 full-time jobs, down from an initial estimate of 164.

GRANTS

–

Most local governments offer roads, utility connections and other infrastructure support as economic development incentives, but few offer small businesses grants.

Perkins feared a hit on the tax base. “If this is done over and over, it could amount to real money,” Perkins said. Republican Commissioner Steve Arnold of High Point, who sponsored

the program last year, said the business would not receive the grant for months and that commissioners could later kill it. “This will come back to us after Jan. 1 after the tax director determines the tax value,” Arnold said. “This is not an ironclad agreement. The board can change it later.” Arnold also lobbied commissioners to approve $1.3 million for the program the board approved last October following some legal wrangling to avoid the appearance of illegal tax rebates. “This is a rebate,” Per-

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

kins said, “because the business pays the property tax and then gets money back.” The small business incentive plan offers a tax break based on a percentage formula linked to the improved tax base increase over three years. The investment grant for each of the three years is estimated at 0.7 percent of the actual increase in county property tax base over the amount of the property tax base prior to the improvements. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Kohlrabi is an interesting, healthy food plant

E

ach year I get a few unusual seeds of flowers or vegetables to grow in my garden. Trying new varieties is fun and really keeps flower or vegetable gardening interesting and stimulating for me. One of my favorite places to get seeds is Renee’s Garden (Renee’s Garden Seeds. 6060A Graham Hill Road, Felton, CA 95018, telephone 888-8807228). Renee’s is offering one of my favorite unusual vegetables in seed form: kohlrabi. This plant grows a fleshy stem above ground that looks somewhat like a turnip but is mild and sweet with a little flavor of turnip, broccoli and kale all mixed together. The plant gets its name from the German “kohl� for cabbage and the Latin “rapa� for turnip. It looks like a root, but it’s actu-

ally a tuber and cruciferous like cabbage, kale, cauliflower and broccoli. Kohlrabi is popular where European popuECOLOGY lations live in the United States Gwyn because it grows Riddick in many Eastern â– â– â– European home gardens along with beets, potatoes, carrots, parsnips and cabbage, which do well in a cold climate and can be stored all year long. Kohlrabi is a popular member of the cabbage clan. The vegetable is a reliable, productive and easy growing edible plant that is also ornamental that grows in cool spring weather and again in fall when summer heat

tapers off. Renee’s offers it in a “Crispy Duos Colors� which bears plants of a deep purple and others in a whitish green color. The fleshy stems are about the size of an orange and the young green bulbs have a radish-cucumber flavor and young purple bulbs tend to have a spicier flavor. The leaves, which taste like kale, collards or cabbage, can be steamed, boiled or added to soups. So it can be eaten like a turnip, broccoli or other cole crop. Renee’s is also offering an unusual kale called Tronchuda Beira, which is almost exclusively cultivated in Portugal and is also called Portuguese Kale or sea-kale cabbage. Renee describes it as “... a loose headed plant with side spreading leaves and

thick, white, fleshy ribs. It is used in special dishes such as “Cozido a portuguesa� (a rich stew) and is the main ingredient in “Caldo verde� (Portuguese kale and potato soup). It also works in place of cabbage in your favorite recipes. She adds, “We are looking forward to cooking with this sweet and flavorful vegetable.� When we lived in Indiana, the seeds were easy to find, but I seldom see them in Piedmont stores. Its history is somewhat obscure but Renee says the origins of kohlrabi are a matter of debate since some plant historians think it was cultivated as long ago as the Roman era, while others claim it was developed from the mallow cabbage as late as the 16th century. Harvest it when the first stems are about one inch in

South Korea will fund road at temple complex PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) – South Korea has provided $9.2 million to Cambodia to build a new road that will circle the famed Angkor temple complex and reduce traffic in the area, officials said. The 13-mile road will be closed to trucks to reduce pollution, noise and vibrations that could damage the ancient ruins, said Soeung Kong, vice secretary-general of the Apsara Authority, the government agency that oversees the temples. Construction will start this year and take three years to complete, he said. It will be the second road in the Angkor area funded by South Korea, connecting with existing roads to the north and northwest of the temples, said South Korean Embassy official Son Sungil. The first road extended south from the temple complex. Tourism is a major foreign currency earner for cash-strapped Cambodia, which hosts nearly 1.5 million foreign tourists each year, mostly from South Korea, Japan and the United States.

According to my wedding expert, you should schedule your wedding portrait to be taken sometime in the month before your wedding, and you should be photographed wearing only your engagement ring.

I have a hard time telling my sister no, but at the same time, I’m working when I am on these trips. I have meetings and events that I cannot include her in. She says she wants to learn “everything� about what I do so she can do it, too. Abby, I worked more than 25 years to get to this point in my career. I would love for her to be in the same field, but she has never worked in it and doesn’t always know how to talk to people. She jokes and makes inappropriate comments that leave me embarrassed and angry. How do I tell her I can’t keep having her along for the ride? – Woeful Road Warrior In Ohio

diameter. Continue to harvest until the stems are the size of a tennis ball. Bigger stems than that get tough and woody and will not taste good. The young leaves of kohlrabi can be cooked as greens. Kohlrabi grows quickly from seed to harvest taking about 45 to 50 days. The USDA indicates that kohlrabi is high in vitamin C (140 percent of MDR), fiber and a good source of vitamin A and iron.

Saturday, March 6, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Eli Marienthal, 24; Shaquille O’Neal, 38; D.L. Hughley, 47; Rob Reiner, 63 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Working in conjunction with others will lead to problems. Be secretive about what you are doing and work slowly and quietly to reach your own goals. Overspending will cause some problems. Think through each move you make instead of casting your fate to the wind and seeing how things unfold. Your numbers are 8, 11, 15, 22, 26, 29, 44 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Get busy working on your own thing so that no one will interfere with your progress. Idle time is the enemy. Concentrate on what you do well and work diligently until the task is complete. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you allow your emotions to lead the way, you will make a costly mistake. Avoid complaining about work to the ones you love. Spend quality time with friends and family, making plans for the future. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A financial problem will result if you get into a power struggle with someone. You have to respect what superiors do whether it’s at home, work or school. Deal with your responsibilities so you can enjoy time with your friends. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Put in extra hours at work if it will help you reach your goals or get ahead. Someone you care for will reciprocate if you send the right signals. This is a great time to share your thoughts and make plans for the future. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t get involved in risky ventures.

We all have days when we’re 386’s in a Pentium 4 world. Today’s declarer had trouble processing his way to 10 tricks. At Trick Two, West shifted to the queen of spades. South took dummy’s king, drew trumps and led a club, and West won and led a third club to dummy’s queen. South discarded his queen of diamonds – a certain loser since West had opened the bidding. South next took the ace of spades, but when West discarded, South had to lose two spade tricks to East. Down one.

cards his last spade.

DAILY QUESTION UNLIKELY South had a bug in his software. He counted on a 3-2 break in spades but was unlikely to find one after West had bid diamonds and clubs and held two trumps. South should discard a spade on the third club and cash the ace of spades. If spades broke 3-2, South could set up dummy’s fourth spade to discard the queen of diamonds. When West discards on the second spade, South leads the ace and queen of diamonds. When West wins, he must lead a minor-suit card, and South ruffs in dummy and dis-

You hold: S Q H 6 4 D K J 10 8 3 C A K 10 4 3. You open one diamond. After two passes, the player at your right bids one heart. What do you say? ANSWER: In a similar position, West in today’s deal bid two clubs. But here you are going nowhere after your partner couldn’t respond to an opening bid, especially since you hold the minor suits. A bid may give away information about your distribution that an opponent can use as declarer. Pass. West 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.

Mice infest UK’s Westminster Palace in London LONDON (AP) – The House of Lords has a momentous decision to make: Should it get cats to chase the mice that have infested one of Britain’s most famous buildings? London’s Houses of Parliament, also known as Westminster Palace, has rodents, and the peers aren’t exactly sure what to do about it.

Ivan Anthony MooreBrabazon, the House’s administration chief, on Wednesday turned down suggestions to acquire cats. He says the felines could ingest mice poison or wander around the chamber and disrupt business. He favors the current tactic of using poison and mousetraps. Parliament staff have

reported daily sightings of the rodents in the palace’s restaurants and bars. The performers’ union Equity says nearby theaters in London’s West End are facing similar problems, with threequarters of actors and stage managers reporting infestations of mice, rats and fleas, according to The Guardian newspaper.

Others get skier’s thumb

D

ear Dr. Donohue: Every year for the past five years, I go to Colorado with a group of friends to ski. This year, my skiing lasted only three days. I developed pain on the thumb side of my right wrist. It was so bad I couldn’t hold on to a ski pole. I found a doctor who was staying at the same place I was. He said I had skier’s thumb and told me I should stop skiing. I did. Now, 10 days later, my wrist still hurts. What should I be doing for it? No one in my skiing group nor I had ever heard of this. – T.C.

Skier’s thumb has many other names. One is de Quervain’s disease, and another is Washerwoman’s disease (the name picked by Dr. de Quervain). Strangely, it happens to pregnant women, too. I don’t know why. It’s an inflammation of the tendons that move the thumb. They’re the same tendons used for a firm grasp on ski poles. Tendons are bundles of collagen fibers. Collagen is a body protein used for support and as the substance in many tissues that require constant motion. It’s the stuff of scars. Collagen has lots of water in it. Inflamed tendons lose water, and they can’t tolerate the constant stress that they usually put up with. They have to regain their water, something that happens only with rest. A wrist splint will help you rest those tendons during the day. Ice the painful area for

15 minutes every four hours. If icing doesn’t bring relief, switch to heat. Tylenol or HEALTH a nonsteroidal anti-inDr. Paul flammatory Donohue medicine ■■■ (Aleve, Advil, Motrin) eases the pain. You should be free of pain in three weeks or so. If things haven’t resolved by then, you must see a doctor. Other conditions have similar symptoms. Dear Dr. Donohue: I vaguely recall you writing about this before, but I wonder if you would repeat it. It’s the idea that a person can get rid of more fat by doing light exercises. The idea interests me if it’s true. I remember you were not too in favor of this, but I can’t remember why. Why not? – H.L. It is an appealing idea, but doesn’t make sense to me. It is true that low-intensity exercise burns more fat than does high-intensity exercise. Close to 50 percent of energy burned in light exercise comes from fat stores. With high-intensity exercise, the kind that leaves you panting, more energy comes from glycogen, stored body sugar. But the arithmetic tells the story. Say you burn 200 calories in light exercise. Fifty percent of those calories come from

fat, so you have burned 100 calories of fat. With intense exercise, around 40 percent of energy is furnished by fat-burning. If you burn 500 calories doing intense exercise, 40 percent of those calories come from fat – 200 calories. The high-intensity exercise is the clear winner when it comes to fat-burning. Dear Dr. Donohue: My son played in two basketball competitions, one right after the other. When they were over, I took him for pizza. He ate an entire large pizza. He also got sick after doing so. He threw up. He thinks he had food poisoning. I think he ate too much too fast. What do you think? – M.G. I don’t think it was food poisoning. Food poisoning seldom happens so quickly after eating. Overeating immediately after exhausting exercise makes some people sick. The explanation is that the buildup of lactic acid that comes during hard exercise hasn’t completely dissipated. It makes some people sick to their stomachs. Dehydration is another explanation. Stuffing lots of food into a body that’s short on fluids can also cause nausea and vomiting. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Bishop girls advance BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

GREENSBORO – The “Villains” of the NCHSAA 1A West Regional claim to be relishing the role of underdog, but one thing Bishop McGuinness coach Brian Robinson will not admit to is taking solace in the absence of Mount Airy. Thrice beaten by the Granite Bears, the fourtime defending state champions will not face their Northwest Conference nemesis in the 1A Regional final today at UNC Greensboro’s Fleming Gymnasium after defeating Avery County 57-42 Friday. Instead, the Villains will square off with Mitchell thanks to the Mountaineers’ stunning 60-58 victory at the buzzer in Friday’s opener. “We talked about not being happy that Mount Airy’s not there,” Robinson said. “Mitchell did something that we haven’t been able to do all year. If we relax, Mitchell is going to hand it to us.” Against Avery, Bishop (21-7) established control over the speed of the contest from the outset. The Villains forced four quick turnovers in the opening two minutes and hurried the Vikings (24-4) to make decisions on the fly. The gritty work on defense paid dividends,

as the Villains opened things up in the open floor throughout the night. “Toward the end of the second quarter, we spread it out a little bit and it allowed us to run out to a lead,” said Robinson. “The problem we were having was with their cutting to the goal. They didn’t stop hitting shots until the end.” Megan Buckland led Bishop with a gamehigh 24 points on 8-for-15 shooting. She added 10 rebounds, five assists and five steals in a very crafty performance. Buckland did the brunt of her work in the first half distributing the basketball, finding teammates with pinpoint passes to facilitate the Villains’ efficient fast break. Buckland hit a layup to beat the halftime horn and put Bishop up 25-20. The acrobatic finish seemed to jump-start the star junior coming out of the break, as she took over the third quarter. She scored seven of her 24 in the period and sparked the Villains to a game-breaking 13-2 run that gave them a 16-point advantage. Bishop never allowed the Vikings within single digits in the final eight minutes. Lauren Avery paced Avery with 14 points. Marie Petrangeli added 11 for the Villains.

DCCC looks to punch ticket to national tourney BY ZACH KEPLY THE THOMASVILLE TIMES

LEXINGTON – Davidson County Community College has a pretty good vibe going into today’s District 7 Championship game with Montgomery College-Germantown (Md.). After all, every goal the team set before the season began has come to fruition in setting up today’s 3 p.m. showdown at Brinkley Gymnasium. Goal No. 1 was to get better every day, obviously accomplished with the Storm having won 20 straight. Next on the list was to win 20-plus games – another check. Then the goals were to win the Region X Conference regular-season championship and tournament – check and check.

The Storm (28-4) already have accomplished more this season than the previous two men’s basketball teams led by coach Matt Ridge following the sport’s 25year hiatus at DCCC, and it appears the Storm are saving their best basketball for the end. Is the team playing at its highest level right now? “Can I answer that after Saturday?” Ridge said jokingly. “Going into this game I would say yes. I wish I had some sort of magical formula to where I could get my guys to peak at the end of the year every year. For whatever reason, this team has a will to win on game night. This team refuses to lose.” They’ll need to play their best and then some with an extremely talented Gryphon team visiting

with a trip to Delhi, N.Y., for the National Junior College Athletic Association’s Division III championship tournament on the line. “They are extremely athletic and are going to try and beat us off the bounce,” said Ridge. “We have got to not get beat off dribble penetration.” As good as the guard play is for the Gryphons, it is the post that may trouble the Storm the most. Montgomery boasts 6-foot-8 center Jonathan Taylor, who is averaging 16.7 points and 10.2 rebounds per game. DCCC’s tallest player stands 6-5, but the Storm do have three players at their disposal to bang down low with Taylor. “We have got to limit his touches and if he does get it, we need to double down on him,” Ridge said.

“We are going to mix it up with our defenses, but regardless of what defense we play, he is going to be a handful.” Like the Gryphons (21-8), the Storm have four players averaging double figures, led by highflying guard Justin Glover’s 19 points a game. DCCC is averaging nearly 99 points in its last seven contests, so scoring has not been a problem. If the Storm can figure out a way to keep Montgomery’s guards in front and disrupt Taylor in the post, a trip north could be in the making. “We are going to be ready and excited, and hopefully we can get off to a good start and our fans can provide an environment that will make it difficult on our opponent,” said Ridge.

I

can’t believe we’ve reached the final weekend of the ACC men’s basketball regular season. The calendar says March, but my mind seems to be several weeks behind. I know. Insert your own joke here about my mind or lack thereof... Anyway, we’ve been treated to another memorable season on the hardwood, and it’s not over yet. Entering today’s play, we have four teams battling for third place in the standings, plus

four more fighting to avoid the league cellar. The schedule-makers hit the jackpot, giving us meaningful matchups and spirited rivalries to whet our appetites for the ACC Tournament. Today it’s Florida State at Miami at noon, Maryland at Virginia at 1:30 p.m., Virginia Tech at Georgia Tech at 4 and North Carolina at Duke at 9. Sunday’s doubleheader finds Boston College at N.C. State at 2 p.m. and Clemson at Wake Forest at 6.

It’s exciting that we’re not going to know all of the ACC Tournament pairings until after the final horn in Winston-Salem on Sunday night. It’s thrilling that no fewer than seven ACC teams have legitimate shots at at-large NCAA Tournament bids. And best of all, things really heat up with March Madness. Enjoy the next month everybody!

Delhomme emotional in farewell

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Jake Delhomme walked into the interview room with red eyes and sunglasses in his hand, joking that his allergies were bad. He started crying before he could get a word out. Acknowledging he was “blindsided” by his release, Delhomme on Friday vowed his career wasn’t over in an emotional day that marked the end of an era and left his former bosses in tears, too. “Six of my seven years playing here have been outstanding. It’s been a great run,” Delhomme said in between sniffles. “I’m leaving with no animosity whatsoever.” A few hours earlier, general manager Marty Hurney choked up while calling it the toughest decision he’s ever made. Coach John Fox welled up with tears while pleading with fans to remember the good moments. It was something hardly anyone could’ve anticipated a year earlier, when the Panthers gave the only quarterback to lead

the franchise to the Super Bowl a lucrative contract extension. But after one miserable season, the 35year-old Delhomme was sent packing despite still being owed more than $12.5 million in guaranteed money. The reason to go with upstart Matt Moore as the starter came down to this: a career-high 18 interceptions in 2009, and 23 in Delhomme’s final 12 games. “I was blindsided, I will say that,” Delhomme said. “I think the main reason was I think everybody knows the contract and monetarily those things that went along with it. “When I got a call yesterday that I needed to call Foxy I thought it was more so that, ’We’re going with Matt and you’re going to be the backup.’ ... But they wanted to go in another direction. It’s probably for the best.” And just like that the Louisiana native who toiled as a backup in NFL Europe before bursting onto the scene in Carolina was out of work. After a 5840 record as a starter over

But Delhomme said he’s “not ready to go home and play with the horses just yet,” and said his agent had already started talking to teams. “He’s done some great things for this team. Two (NFC) championship games, a Super Bowl, all those comeback victories,” Fox said. “I’m not sure I’ve had any more respect for an NFL football player than Jake Delhomme.” The Panthers also released defensive tackles Damione Lewis and

Maake Kemoeatu, and linebackers Na’il Diggs and Landon Johnson in the start of a youth movement. None of those moves, however, resonated around these parts like releasing Delhomme. “I wear my heart on my sleeve and this is me,” Delhomme said, tears flowing. “And the reason it’s emotional and you walk in here and all the faces and the relationships you have with guys through the good and the bad. That’s what you’re going to miss. ... We did some good things here.”

Bears give Peppers six-year deal NEW YORK (AP) — The Chicago Bears were big spenders as NFL teams entered the free agency period unconstrained by a salary cap, signing top prize Julius Peppers. The rest of the league was more thrifty Friday, with lots of moves involving some big names but no other blockbuster deals. The Bears also added running back Chester Taylor from Minnesota and blocking tight end Brandon Manumaleuna from San Diego. Bears general manager Jerry Angelo and coach Lovie Smith know they’d better win now after missing the playoffs the past three years. Then again, a big move didn’t work out for them before last season, when they landed quarterback Jay Cutler yet went 7-9. “It’s one thing to play football in

this league and make a living, but it’s a totally different thing to come to a place with a rich tradition like the Bears,” Peppers said. The five-time Pro Peppers Bowl defensive end agreed to a six-year deal worth potentially $91.5 million. Agent Carl Carey said a record $42 million is guaranteed, with Peppers earning $20 million in the first year. Linebacker Gary Brackett, the leader of the Indianapolis defense, re-signed with the Colts. All-Pro fullback Leonard Weaver re-signed with Philadelphia for three years. Cornerback Antonio Cromartie, a former All-Pro who struggled in coverage last season for San Diego, was traded to the New York Jets.

Receiver Anquan Boldin was traded from the Arizona Cardinals to the Baltimore Ravens. Detroit, coming off two wins in the past two seasons, upgraded its defense by trading with Cleveland for tackle Corey Williams and agreeing to a four-year deal with end Kyle Vanden Bosch. The Cleveland Browns restructured the final three years of the six-year deal Pro Bowl return specialist Josh Cribbs signed in 2006.0 Cromartie should become a starter opposite All-Pro Darrelle Revis in the Jets’ secondary. New York gave up a conditional draft pick for a former All-Pro who has had offfield issues. The Cardinals received a third- and fourth-round pick in the 2010 draft for the 29-year-old Boldin.

Roethlisberger under investigation for sexual assault MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is being investigated in an allegation of sexual assault at a Georgia nightclub, police said Friday. Officers said the alleged assault occurred early Friday morning at a nightclub in Milledgeville,

about 85 miles southeast of Atlanta. The player owns a home nearby. The two-time Super Bowl champion and some of his friends were seen visiting local restaurants and bars Thursday night. “He’s been identified as being at the scene and

there are allegations naming him as the perpetrator,” Deputy Chief Richard Malone said. Malone said Roethlisberger had been with three other people who were mingling with another group that included the alleged victim. Malone said the woman and her party contacted a nearby

police officer following the alleged assault. Several areas of the bar were considered a crime scene, but Malone would not elaborate. Roethlisberger and the alleged victim have been interviewed and the woman was taken to a hospital, where she was treated and released, Malone said.

Villegas, Kim tie for Honda Classic lead THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — The temperature climbed, the wind calmed, and PGA National unexpectedly lost a great deal of its bite. Welcome to the kinder, gentler Honda Classic. Anthony Kim was one of four players to match the best Honda round on the Champion course

shot 6-under 65s to share the first-round lead in the Toshiba Classic, leaving Champions Tour newcomer Fred Couples a stroke back at Newport Beach Country Club. Olin Browne, Lonnie Nielsen and Mike Goodes matched Couples at 66, and defending champion CHAMPIONS TOUR NEWPORT BEACH, Ca- Eduardo Romero was anlif. — Bob Tway, Chein other stroke back along Soon Lu and Mark Wiebe with Tom Lehman, Loren with a 6-under 64, Camilo Villegas had a 66 for the second straight day, and they were tied at 8under 132 atop the leaderboard after the second round. Vijay Singh (66) was a stroke back at 7 under.

Isner falls in Davis Cup BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — John Isner lost to Viktor Troicki 7-6 (4), 6-7 (5), 7-5, 6-4 to give Serbia a 1-0 lead over the United States in the first round of the Davis Cup. Isner had 21 aces in his Davis Cup debut, but

Troicki converted his fourth match point with a crosscourt volley after 3 hours, 36 minutes on the clay court at Belgrade Arena. The American led 5-3 and served for the first set, but lost it in a tiebreaker.

HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — Dale Earnhardt Jr. is on the pole for the first time in nearly two years. He’s hoping it will lead to Victory Lane. Earnhardt claimed the pole Friday night for the Kobalt Tools 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway with a blistering speed of 192.761 mph. It will be the first time Junior has taken green at the head of a Sprint Cup field since the April 2008 race at Texas. “It’s good to be on the pole and I’m real proud of it,” Earnhardt said. “Getting a pole anywhere is good for our team. We’re so hungry to do well on Sunday.” He’s coming off a miserable season in which he failed to win a race, cracked the top 10 only five times, led a mere 146 laps in 36 races and finished 25th in the overall standings — despite racing for Hendrick Motorsports, the best team in the business. After a major shake-up

within his group, Earnhardt is hoping to be a Chase contender in 2010. He hasn’t won a race since June 15, 2008, at Michigan. “You’ve just got to try to be confident,” he said. “We got beat down last year. We figured we’d have a chance to start new this year. It’s a better race team. We’re working well together. It’s a really, really good group of guys and I just hope we have success. They deserve it.” Taking advantage of a chilly 50-degree night that boosted speeds on the high-banked oval, Earnhardt put up a lap that was faster than any pole-winning speed since Martin Truex Jr. won the Texas pole on Nov. 4, 2007, at 193.105, before the full-time introduction of the Car of Tomorrow. Kyle Busch (192.280) will start from the outside of the front row, beating out Juan Pablo Montoya (192.106).

Grobe shuffles assistants ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

WINSTON-SALEM – Following a disappointing 5-7 season, Wake Forest head football coach Jim Grobe is shuffling his staff. The school announced Friday that tight ends and fullback coach Steve Russ has been shifted to the defensive side of the ball where he will coach the linebackers. Russ played linebacker for Grobe at the Air Force Academy and during his NFL playing career with the Denver Broncos. Russ is also a former defensive coordinator at Syracuse. The tight ends will now be coached by offensive line coach and offensive coordinator Steed Lobotzke. “We’ve wanted for a while to get Steve Russ back on defense,” Grobe said. “We will do that this fall. Last year, I thought it would have been too disruptive. Now, with our re-alignment, this is a good time to move Steve.” Associate head coach Billy Mitchell, who has been coaching the running backs and kickers, will also now become the fullbacks coach. Defensive coordinator Brad Lambert will move from coaching the linebackers to working with

the safeties while defensive end coach Keith Henry will move from defensive ends to cornerbacks. Tim Billings, who spent the last two years working with the entire secondary, will now coach the defensive ends. Ray McCartney remains as Wake Forest’s defensive tackles coach and recruiting coordinator. From a defensive perspective, with five coaches on defense, we’ll have the opportunity to do a better job on that side of the ball.” Spring practice for the Demon Deacons is scheduled to start Tuesday and continue through the spring game on April 17. Teams are allowed 15 spring practice sessions under NCAA rules. The Demon Deacons will generally practice on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday through the next month though the exact schedule is subject to change. Weekday practices are expected to start at 4:15 p.m. and Saturday practices at 9:15 a.m. The majority of the practices will be held at the Doc Martin Football Practice Complex on the Wake Forest campus. The Deacons will practice at BB&T Field on Saturday, March 27 and Saturday, April 10.

Unemployment rate unchanged WASHINGTON (AP) – The unemployment rate held at 9.7 percent in February as employers shed 36,000 jobs, fewer than expected. The figures suggested the job market is slowly healing but that significant hiring has yet to occur. The Labor Department wouldn’t quantify how the snowstorms that hammered the East Coast last month affected job losses. Economists said the storms probably inflated job losses but by less than predictions of 100,000 or more. Without the storms, the economy likely would have seen a net jobs gain in February for only the second time since the recession began two years ago. Doubts about last month’s data arose because

Pierre Foods adding 500 jobs in Catawba RALEIGH – A food products maker plans to expand its operations in western North Carolina, adding 500 jobs. State officials said on Friday that Cincinnati-based Pierre Foods Inc. plans to invest $16.8 million during the next three years in Claremont in Catawba County. The company already has 700 workers at its facility there. The new jobs will pay an average annual salary of $26,467. State officials promised $600,000 in incentives for the expansion. Pierre Foods makes a variety of products for schools, food service, retail, vending and convenience store markets.

Consumer borrowing rises in January WASHINGTON – Consumer borrowing broke a record stretch of declines with a small increase in January as a boost in auto loans offset continued weakness in credit card borrowing. The small gain, the first in nearly a year, could be a signal that Americans are regaining confidence in the economy. The Federal Reserve reported Friday that consumer borrowing rose by $4.96 billion in January, surprising economists who were looking for borrowing to decline by $4.5 billion. It was the first gain after a record 11 straight declines and it was the largest increase since July 2008.

Interest rates rise on bond market CHARLOTTE – Interest rates leapt higher in the bond market Friday after the government reported better than expected February jobs data. The yield on the 10year Treasury note that matures in February 2020 rose to 3.69 percent from 3.61 percent late Thursday. Its price fell 21/32 to 99 15/32. The yield on the 30-year bond that matures in February 2040 rose to 4.64 percent from 4.56. Its price fell 1 7/32 to 99 27/32. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

the snowstorms occurred on the same week that the government surveys businesses about their payrolls. Employees who couldn’t make it to work and weren’t paid weren’t included on those payrolls. “It looks like the impact of weather was not as large as we thought it would be,” said Marisa DiNatale, an economist at Moody’s Economy.com. Some economists said the data suggest that the job market is now pointed in the right direction and that the unemployment rate may have peaked. Nigel Gault, chief economist at IHS Global Insight, said private employers will likely add jobs in March and continue to generate jobs for the rest of the year.

Still, hiring is likely to be weak for much of that time. The recession eliminated about 8.4 million jobs. And it takes 100,000 new jobs per month just to keep up with population growth and keep the unemployment rate from rising. Even optimistic economists don’t expect employers to add much more than 150,000 jobs a month this year – and not until the second half of the year. Gault expects the jobless rate will remain above 9.5 percent by the end of 2010. “The Labor Department’s report found that many U.S. industries that economists thought might be hardest hit – construction, retail, and hotels and restaurants – didn’t seem to be heavily affected.

GM to reinstate 600 dealerships NEW YORK (AP) – General Motors Co. will reinstate more than half the dealerships it targeted to drop from its network. GM executives said Friday that about 600 dealerships out of the 1,100 seeking to stay with GM will receive letters giving them the option to remain with the automaker. GM last year told 2,000 dealerships it would revoke their franchise agreements in October 2010 as part of its restructuring. The company has said it needs to shrink the number of showrooms to keep the remaining ones healthy. The dealerships, who say they have been treated unfairly, have been appealing the decision.

The cuts to GM’s 6,000dealer network were designed to compensate for much lower demand for cars and trucks, but some dealers have argued that lots that are still profitable are at risk, and that the automaker hasn’t offered enough details about how it’s choosing which businesses to shutter. GM and Chrysler, which has slashed 789 dealers, have said they would reconsider the cuts. The decision was a compromise meant to avoid federal legislation that would require that the showrooms be kept open. Under the revised plans, dealerships would get face-to-face reviews, binding arbitration and faster payments to help dealers slated for shutdown.

Lawmakers want more data on Toyota acceleration tests WASHINGTON (AP) – A House committee on Friday questioned the rigor of Toyota’s sudden acceleration tests, challenging the automaker’s commitment to finding the causes of safety problems that have led to millions of recalled vehicles. The House Energy and Commerce Committee told Toyota executive Jim Lentz in a letter that there is “an absence of documents” to show whether the company thoroughly investigated the possibility of unintended acceleration. The committee asked who is involved with the testing and demanded that it be given quarterly reports detailing allegations of the unwanted acceleration. “We do not understand the basis for Toyota’s repeated assertions that it is ‘confident’ there are no electronic defects contributing to incidents of sudden unintended

acceleration,” wrote Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif., and Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich. Toyota has recalled more than 8 million vehicles worldwide to address gas pedals that can become sticky or trapped under floor mats, prompting scrutiny from Congress. The world’s No. 1 automaker has said it is investigating reports of sudden acceleration but remains confident there are no problems with Toyota’s electronic throttle control systems. Adding to the doubts, the government has received more than 60 complaints from Toyota owners who had their vehicles fixed following the recalls but say they’ve had more problems with their vehicles surging forward unintentionally. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is looking into the claims.

Stocks get boost from jobs data NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks jumped Friday after the government’s employment report showed fewer jobs were cut in February than expected. Major stock indexes climbed more than 1 percent, including the Dow Jones industrial average, which rose 122 points to add to strong gains for the week. Treasury prices slid as demand for safe havens eased. The better-than-expected jobs report helped push oil and other commodities higher on expectations that demand for resources would increase as the economy strengthens. That helped energy and material companies like ExxonMobil Corp. and Chevron Corp. “We haven’t won the game yet,” said James Meyer, chief investment officer at Tower Bridge Advisors. “We’re just getting back to neutral. You can’t get from negative to positive without crossing zero.” The Dow rose 122.06, or 1.2 percent, to 10,566.20. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose for a sixth straight day, rising 15.73, or 1.4 percent, to 1,138.70. The Nasdaq composite index added 34.04, or 1.5 percent, to 2,326.35.

Mercedes-Benz hit with large ‘lemon law’ judgment MADISON, Wis. (AP) – A judge has ordered Mercedes-Benz USA LLC to pay $482,000 in damages and legal fees to a Wisconsin customer who was sold a defective car and not given a refund on time. Vince Megna, a Milwaukee lawyer who represents the customer, said he believes the judgment is the largest involving a single car under a state “lemon law,� which protect consumers who are sold junk cars. Mercedes-Benz spokeswoman Donna Boland said the company, a unit of the German car maker Daimler AG, is disappointed the judge overturned an earlier verdict in favor of the company. The spat over the 2005 Mercedes-Benz E 320 has already dragged on more than four years, and the company’s lawyer on Friday asked the court to put the judgment on hold pending an appeal. While states have a variety of lemon laws, Wisconsin’s is one of the strongest. It allows customers who buy cars that don’t run or can’t be repaired to demand a replacement or refund. Manufacturers have 30 days to respond and can be ordered to pay double the purchase

In a Feb. 27 photo, Marco Marquez (left) and attorney Vince Megna stand in front of Marquez’s Mercedes-Benz in Waukesha, Wisc. price plus legal fees for violating the law. Bob Silverman, a prominent lemon law attorney in Ambler, Pa. who was not involved in the case, agreed it was one of the largest judgments for a car he’s seen and was an important victory for consumers. “This one result is very important to the entire auto industry,� Silverman said. “It teaches them a lesson they ought to comply with the law promptly or they are going to have to pay in the end.� Despite the pending judgment, customer Marco Marquez, a 37-year-old businessman from Waukesha, called

the case “a complete nightmare� and said he was still waiting for his money back. Once a big fan of MercedesBenz who has owned several of its cars, he now says he’ll never buy another. It all started when Marquez, who owns Mexican restaurants in Waukesha and Janesville, purchased the E 320 for $56,000 from a Milwaukee dealership in 2005. Almost immediately, the car often would not start. The battery was replaced multiple times, but the problem continued. After several repair attempts, the dealership said the problem could not be fixed.

Kidnap victim shares home videos NEW YORK (AP) – Kidnapping victim Jaycee Dugard, held captive for 18 years in a ramshackle backyard compound, was seen cooking with her sister and mother and riding horses in recently shot home videos aired on ABC Friday. In one video clip, Dugard’s mother, Terry Probyn, thanks the public for its support and asks people to respect the family’s privacy. “Please give us the time we need to heal as a family without the prying eyes of photographers and the press,� says Probyn, addressing the camera in an outdoor setting.

Viewers poised for Oscarcast NEW YORK (AP) – The Academy Awards have a tiresome habit of calling the annual Oscar telecast “Hollywood’s biggest night.� This year the Oscarcast could prove to be a pretty big night for television, too. The economy may be wheezing, but advertising time on ABC’s Academy Awards shindig (Sunday at 8:30 p.m.) is sold out, with the price tag reportedly $1.5 mil-

lion per 30-second spot, up from less than $1 million last year. And even in an era defined by eroding TV viewership, several promising signs – including the David-and-Goliath battle between “Hurt Locker� and “Avatar� – suggest Oscar could regain a measure of its past ratings glory. Last year, the Oscarcast attracted 36.3 million viewers, with dark horse hit “Slumdog Millionaire� crowned best picture.

General Electric Co. said Friday that Chief Executive Jeffrey Immelt did not receive 2009 bonus, the second straight year he gave up extra pay as the industrial and financial conglomerate

struggled with one of its worst years on record. GE’s board of directors agreed to Immelt’s request not to grant him a bonus even though it concluded he had performed well during a brutal year for the company, according a company filing

with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Immelt’s last bonus was in 2007 and amounted to $5.8 million. Last year was painful for GE, which makes everything from kitchen appliances to power plant turbines.

Principal apologizes for black heroes photos LOS ANGELES – The principal of a South Los Angeles elementary school has apologized after some children carried photos of O.J. Simpson, RuPaul and Dennis Rodman in a parade celebrating Black History Month. Lorraine Abner of Wadsworth Avenue Elementary School sent a letter Thursday to parents apologizing for what she called judgment errors in choosing black role models. Three white teachers have been suspended during an investigation.

Pentagon shooter had a history of mental illness HOLLISTER, Calif. (AP) – The man who opened fire in front of the Pentagon had a history of mental illness and had become so erratic that his parents reached out to local authorities weeks ago with a warning that he was unstable and might have a gun, authorities said Friday. It’s still unclear why John Patrick Bedell opened fire Thursday at the Pentagon entrance, wounding two police officers before he was fatally shot. The two officers were hospitalized briefly with minor injuries. Bedell was diagnosed as bipolar, or manic depressive,

and had been in and out of treatment programs for years. His psychiatrist, J. Michael Nelson, said Bedell tried to self-medicate with marijuaBedell na, inadvertently making his symptoms more pronounced. “Without the stabilizing medication, the symptoms of his disinhibition, agitation and fearfullness complicated the lack of treatment,” Nelson said. His parents reported him missing Jan. 4, a day after a Texas

Highway Patrol officer stopped him for speeding in Texarkana. Bedell told the highway patrolman he was heading to the East Coast, and began acting strangely – sitting on his knees by the side of the highway and turning off his cell phone when it would ring. Bedell said it was his mother calling, prompting the patrolman to answer the phone and talk briefly with her. Family friend Reb Monaco said Kaye Bedell asked the officer to take him to a mental health facility, but that the son refused. The patrolman let Bedell go

after issuing a speeding ticket and a citation for possession of drug paraphernalia, including a pipe and a green plastic box with marijuana residue. The next day, Kaye told deputies in California that her son had no reason to travel to the East Coast because he had no friends or family there and she and her husband were worried about his mental state, San Benito County Sheriff Curtis Hill said. Hill also said Bedell’s parents found an e-mail from their son that indicated he had made a $600 purchase from a shooting range in the Sacramento area.

Doctor guilty of wife’s cyanide death CLEVELAND – An Ohio doctor accused of lacing his wife’s calcium supplement with cyanide so he could be with his mistress was convicted Friday of aggravated murder. The jury heard weeks of testimony before returning the verdict against Dr. Yazeed Essa, 41. His wife, Rosemarie Essa, collapsed while driving Feb. 24, 2005, and crashed her car into another vehicle about five miles from the couple’s home.

Brady wins GOP nomination in Illinois CHICAGO – State Sen. Bill Brady has officially captured the Republican nomination for Illinois governor after a month of uncertainty. His victory by just 193 votes out of more than 767,000 cast persuaded the second-place finisher to concede and sets up a stark contrast for voters between Brady and Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn.

Ex-Detroit mayor loses appeal over restitution DETROIT – Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, desperate to stop a judge from forcing him to come up with $320,000 in special restitution payments, struck out Friday with a higher court and now faces a hearing on whether he violated probation. The Michigan Court of Appeals said a Wayne County judge did not abuse his discretion when he ordered Kilpatrick to quickly come up with more money to reduce his $1 million restitution to Detroit, a debt that’s part of his 2008 criminal case.

Police investigate the site of a tour bus accident on Friday in Sacaton, Ariz. Authorities said the bus traveling from Mexico to Los Angeles collided with a pickup truck and rolled before landing upright on its wheels.

Bus crash kills six, injures 16 SACATON, Ariz. (AP) – Federal transportation officials say the bus involved in an accident near Phoenix that left six people dead and 16 others injured was operating illegally. The bus was traveling

from the central Mexican state of Zacatecas to Los Angeles with 22 passengers when authorities say it hit a pickup early Friday and rolled over on the interstate 25 miles south of downtown Phoenix.

Authorities say the six people who died were ejected from the bus during the accident. The Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration says the bus was oper-

ated by Tierra Santa Inc. The agency says it told the Van Nuys, Calif.-based company in April that it wasn’t authorized to engage in the commercial interstate transportation of passengers.

Rep. Massa resigns under ethics cloud WASHINGTON (AP) – New York Democratic Rep. Eric Massa, facing a harassment complaint by a male staffer, said Friday that he is stepping down from his seat with “a profound sense of failure.” “I am guilty,” Massa said in an interview with a Corning, N.Y., newspaper columnist.

Later in the day, Massa released a statement saying that after learning he had a recurrence of cancer, he learned he was the subject of an ethics complaint by a male staffer who felt “uncomfortable” during an exchange with Massa. The exchange reportedly had sexual overtones.

“I will resign my position,” Massa said in the statement. “There is no doubt in my mind that I did in fact, use language in the privacy of my own home and in my inner office that, after 24 years in the Navy, might make a Chief Petty Officer feel uncomfortable,” Massa added.

White House weighs switch to military trials for 9/11 suspects WASHINGTON (AP) – Looking to breathe life into President Barack Obama’s stalled pledge to close the Guantanamo Bay prison, White House advisers are inching toward recommending military trials for alleged Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed and four accused henchmen. Attorney General Eric Holder’s

original plan to try them in a civilian court in New York City met with criticism so fierce that it threatened to derail Obama’s promise to shut the U.S. military’s Cuban prison. As difficult as the politics are concerning how and where to try the most notorious terror suspect in U.S. custody, that’s only

one step toward the even more fraught and complicated goal of closing Guantanamo where Mohammed and nearly 200 other terror detainees remain. Closing Guantanamo was a signature promise of Obama’s presidency, and it is still unkept well past his original deadline of January.

California park searched in 2nd missing teen case ESCONDIDO, Calif. (AP) – Police searched a park near San Diego on Friday in their effort to find a girl who vanished about a year ago in the same region where 17-year-old Chelsea King disappeared last week. Investigators and a dive team focused on a wooded area of Kit Carson Park where a creek enters a pond. News photographers

were kept far away but could see investigators taking pictures of items on an evidence table. Amber Dubois, 14, vanished while walking to Escondido High School in February 2009. Escondido police Lt. Craig Carter said three children told their parents three months later about finding what looked like human hair in a bag in the park, but the parents didn’t think

it significant at the time. King’s disappearance and the discovery of a body in a grave in another park near Escondido drew a huge public outcry and renewed interest in Amber’s case. Authorities said there is a strong likelihood the body found by Lake Hodges is that of King, but an official identification won’t be made immediately.

FBI evidence response team members search a creekside area at Kit Carson Park in Escondido, Calif. Friday. Police say 30 law enforcement personnel are searching the park after receiving a report that children had found what looked like human hair. Police suspect the discovery might have some connection to the disappearance of 14-year-old Amber Dubois about a year ago.

U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, RMass., (left) speaks as U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., listens during a McCain campaign rally in Phoenix on Friday.

Scott Brown campaigns for McCain in Arizona PHOENIX (AP) – Facing the toughest re-election battle of his career, John McCain enlisted a rising star of the Republican Party in a bid Friday to lock down support among conservative primary voters. Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown made his first campaign trip as a senator when he visited Arizona. The appearance marked a key test of Brown’s popularity among Republican activists and his ability to raise contributions for candidates after he recently broke with GOP leadership to side with Democrats in supporting a jobs bill. Brown joined McCain at Grand Canyon University, a small Christian school in Phoenix. “We need good people, honest people, people who are greatly respected, people who are not out for themselves,” Brown told a crowd of about 1,000 people. “And he’s right here,” he said of McCain. Pacing the stage, McCain stressed familiar themes, saying he opposes the health care bill and abortion, worries about the national debt, and is committed to creating jobs and keeping people in their homes. He spent most of his time – and got his loudest applause – on health care. “We Republicans, like the majority of Americans, are saying to the president: ‘Stop and start over,’ ” McCain said. Brown won his seat in January with the help of national Republicans, “tea party” groups and an array of conservative special interests.

Spring Is Coming - Tan Now!!

RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s attorney general on Friday ordered an independent review of the state’s crime lab following revelations about practices that led to a groundbreaking exoneration of a man wrongly accused of murder. Attorney General Roy Cooper told The Associated Press that two former assistant directors of the Federal Bureau of Investigation will review the practices of the lab, managed by the State Bureau of Investigation. The review of cases dating to the 1990s will begin in about a week, he said. “An outside review is important for the integrity of the process and public confidence in the work of

Only $35 (includes 1 Free Mega Bed Upgrade and 1 Free Sample Cup Lotion)

the SBI lab,� Cooper said Friday in an interview. The lab’s practices were a critical issue in the case of Greg Taylor, who served more than 16 years behind bars for the murder of a prostitute in Raleigh before he was exonerated last month. Also Friday, Taylor filed a request for a pardon with Gov. Beverly Perdue. He’s eligible for $750,000 in compensation if she grants a pardon based on innocence. “I perceive it more as a formality,� Taylor said. “I’d like the governor to acknowledge my innocence and have something to put on my wall.� Perdue said she would “aggressively pursue� Taylor’s request.

“STRIKE IT BIGGER�

Ex-Easley aide’s lawyer wants trial delayed RALEIGH (AP) – A lawyer for a former aide to ex-North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley wants his client’s trial date on corruption charges pushed back because he has too many documents to review. Ruffin Poole’s lawyer filed a motion this week asking a federal judge for the delay. Joe Zeszotarski wrote that prosecutors already have given him more than 36,000 documents. There’s also more than 160 boxes and legal folders.

“If I had been in the state prison system for the last 17 years of my life, I’d be very angry,� she said “Whatever the state is supposed to pay him, I wouldn’t take that for 17 weeks of my life.� Taylor said the outside review is necessary. “I believe that if people are calling that crime lab into question then there is a need to have an audit of those records then it should be done independently,� Taylor said. “I would hope that the problem is not as big as maybe it possibly could be, but I think it’s important to find out how big it is.� The independent investigators will review SBI crime lab cases and practices from the early 1990s and current methods.

Audi puts fuel-sipping diesel in A3 ANN M. JOB THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NUTS & BOLTS

Fuel-thrifty, smaller cars aren’t always plain, utilitarian and boring. Audi’s entry-level car, the A3, proves it. For the first time since its U.S. introduction in 2005, the five-door A3 adds a diesel-powered engine and now boasts a federal government fuel mileage rating of 30 miles per gallon in city driving and 42 mpg on the highway. The five-door, five-passenger A3 was a compelling compact-sized car before the fuel-sipping diesel went under the hood. Now, the A3’s solid German road handling, premium looks and “recommended buy” rating from Consumer Reports magazine make for an even more appealing package for buyers looking to spend $30,000 to $36,000. Though classified as a small wagon by the federal government, the A3 has the feel and some of the look of a hatchback. Starting retail price, including destination charge, is on the high side for a hatch, though, and the diesel model is even higher than the base 2010 A3. Starting manufactur-

–

AP

The Audi A3 is a nimble car for fitting into parking spaces and slipping into cramped home garages. er’s suggested retail price, with destination charge, is $28,905 for a 2010 base A3 with turbocharged, four-cylinder gasoline engine and manual transmission. The new turbocharged, diesel-powered A3 starts at $30,775 and comes with automatic transmission only. An A3 with allwheel drive has a starting retail price of $31,675 but

is available only with the gasoline four cylinder. By comparison, the 2010 Volkswagen Golf, which has the same diesel engine with the same performance numbers, starts at $24,809 for a five-door model. A performance-oriented, 2010 Mazdaspeed3 five-door model starts at $23,945. The A3 was positioned as a premium small car

when it arrived in the United States, and the image hasn’t faded, despite the fact the A3 stretches just 14 feet from bumper to bumper. The diesel has been in European A3 for years but only now comes to the States. The A3 is a nimble car for fitting into parking spaces and slipping into cramped home garages. The car has the upscale

Audi exterior style, and it has a substantial appearance even if it is the smallest Audi sold here. Lightemitting diode daytime running lamps, which were on the test car and are part of a $2,000 premium plus option package, are the perfect touch of jewelry. So are 10-spoke alloy wheels, also in the premium plus package.

2010 Audi A3 2.0 TDI FWD S-Tronic BASE PRICE: $27,270 for gasoline-powered model with manual transmission; $28,750 for gas model with automatic; $29,950 for diesel model AS TESTED: $36,725 TYPE: Front-engine, front-wheel drive, fivepassenger, small wagon ENGINE: 2-liter, double overhead cam, turbocharged diesel, four cylinder MILEAGE: 30 mpg (city), 42 mpg (highway) TOP SPEED: 130 mph LENGTH: 169 inches WHEELBASE: 101.5 inches CURB WEIGHT: 3,296 pounds BUILT AT: Germany OPTIONS: Navigation system $2,050 At first, I couldn’t believe the fuel mileage display as I tested the A3. I was scooting around town, zipping down highways and not driving at all for fuel economy. Yet, the car registered just over 36 mpg. With more fuel-conscious city/highway driving, I got it up to near 38 mpg, and the fuel gauge needle moved very slowly.

City aids in Neighborhood Stabilization Program

M

any of you saw the recent article in The High Point Enterprise, regarding a man relocating to High Point. He was using a special program offered by the city of High Point, to purchase a foreclosed home that he would normally not have been able to purchase due to the numerous repairs the home required. The program I am referring to is the Neighborhood Stabilization Program or “NSP.” The city of High Point applied for and received a grant for the specific purpose of helping people purchase foreclosed homes and completing the necessary repairs in order to assist in stabilizing property values in the area. One of the stipulations of the grant was a specific time frame that the city had to use these funds or the funds would be lost.

This means that the funds must be applied for by June 1, 2010, and committed to a project by July 18, 2010. In a effort to ensure the first-time REAL ESTATE homebuyers in High Ken Point are aware of Wall this grant and have ■■■ the opportunity to take advantage of it, the city has teamed up with High Point Regional Association of Realtors to promote the “NSP” program to buyers who will benefit from its use. In the near future, you will be seeing ads in The High Point Enterprise showcasing specific properties that are eligible for the program. There will also be signs in the yards of properties that will indi-

Government extends deadline for housing refinance program WASHINGTON (AP) – The government is giving homeowners another year to refinance their loans under a little-used program designed to help borrowers whose homes have plummeted in value. The Obama administration effort, known as Home Affordable Refinance Program, had been scheduled to end on June 10 but will now run out on June 30, 2011, the Federal Housing Fi-

nance Agency said last week. The program allows borrowers who owe up to 25 percent more than their homes are worth to refinance to lower interest rates. It was originally projected to help 4 million to 5 million homeowners with loans owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. So far, it has helped around 220,000, according to the Treasury Department.

cate that a property is eligible. I want to briefly recap the highlights of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. The eligible properties must be in specific zip codes within High Point, only first-time homebuyers are eligible and buyers must meet certain income requirements (household income cannot exceed 120% of the area median income). The NSP program offers both down payment assistance and money for repairs that are needed on the eligible property. The money that is used to complete the repairs comes in the form of a forgiveable loan for the buyer. The loan is forgiven according to the loan amount and the number of years the buyer lives in the property. As long as the buyer occupies the property for the required

period of time, the loan will not have to be repaid. First-time homebuyers who are interested in purchasing one of these properties should contact a local Realtor for more information and location of these eligible properties. Your local Realtor will also provide you with information for lenders that are certified and trained on the requirements for the NSP program. Ken Wall is president of the High Point Regional Association of Realtors, one of more than 1800 local boards and associations nationwide that comprise the National Association of Realtors (NAR). The Association is an advocate for property rights and the “Voice of Real Estate” in the Triad area of North Carolina. HPRAR represents more than 700 members in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industry.

Home sales show year-over-year increase in the South 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 Association 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 the South was mainly driven by

The median sales price of previously owned homes was $140,200. low prices, government incentives, and mortgage rates that have hovered near 5 percent. Homebuyers have until April 30 to take advantage of tax credits of up to $8,000 for first-time home-

buyers and $6,500 for current homeowners. Some analysts who expected rough winter weather to hurt sales were surprised at the annual increase. “The bargains are so good that people were braving the rain, sleet, snow and frigid air to take advantage of them,” said Jeff Humphreys, an economist with the University of Georgia. Still, job losses, falling consumer confidence, high foreclosures and tight lending standards remain obstacles for a sustained recovery. In the South, nine of the 19 cities covered by the Associated PressRe/Max Monthly Housing Report showed sales increases compared with last January.
