WASHINGTON – Good evening sunshine, America says hello, you light up our evenings, we light charcoal below. That’s right folks, it’s time to fire up the old grill, daylight saving time is returning with that extra hour of sunshine after work. The official moment is 2 a.m. local time Sunday, though most people will set their clocks ahead by one hour before they hit the sack tonight.

City asks county to pony up for market Inside...

Pre-Market gets under way Monday. 1B BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – For years, High Point Market advocates have come away empty-handed in their attempts to get other Triad communities to ante up for the biannual home furnishings trade show. A High Point Market Authority business plan adopted in 2006 called for contributions totalling $1 million a year from local governments besides High Point, but Perkins actual funding commitments have amounted to a relative pittance. While surrounding counties and cities may reap the benefits of the market in the form of increased sales tax revenue and hotel rentals, only the Guilford County Board of Commissioners has granted an appropriation: $75,000 in the current budget year. “We probably should fund that more,” Commissioner Kirk Perkins said during the board’s joint meeting with the City Council Thursday. “It fills up hotel rooms all the way to Burlington.” Perkins was responding to a pitch on behalf of the market from Mayor Becky Smothers, who sought to drive home its significance to the economy far beyond High Point’s borders. “It’s been a source of frustration, I guess more than anything else, that the High Point Market is considered a community-based initiative,” Smothers said. Last year, the N.C. General Assembly budgeted $1.2 million for market transportation services and $848,925 for marketing and promotion of

er. It’s a matter of improving the educational environment.” A committee, comprised of Thompson, board member Kenny Meredith, Commissioners Billy Joe Kepley and Max Walser, had identified two other sites, but the Board of Education decided on the Michael Long Property because it’s “halfway between the two high school areas,” Thompson said. “We think that this process of a joint committee between the two boards has added priority for communication and for a better selection of the site,” Mock said. “They worked very hard on this site.” The Davidson County Board of Education now waits to see if commissioners will purchase the land with funds from the 2005 bond referendum. The county will need another bond referendum or another source of funding from commissioners to build schools, Mock said.

Donny C. Lambeth, president of North Carolina Baptist Hospital of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, was appointed to the North Carolina Hospital Association board of trustees. Lambeth will fill an unexpired term through 2011. The association represents 130 North Carolina hospitals and health systems.

Home sales flat in February BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Home sales in High Point didn’t get any better in February, but they didn’t get any worse either, officials said. Sales in the city remained flat last month compared to January when 60 homes were sold in both months. That’s also a 2 percent increase from February 2009, according to data compiled by the Triad Multiple Listings Service. The average home sale price fell 15 percent from the same time last year and 18 percent from January while the total units pending sale raised from 97 in January to 140 last month. The High Point RegionWall al Association of Realtors began to track pending sales for the first time in January. The growing number of homes under contract may indicate a large amount of homebuyers still trying to take advantage of the Homebuyer’s Tax Credit before the federal government program expires April 30, said Ed Terry, executive vice president of the HPRAR. “Our market has become very active, very fast,” he said. “This is evidenced by the fact that we have experienced a nearly 150 percent increase in the number of pending sales, and this bodes so well for the remainder of the

Some of those purchases also may be the reason for an increased number of pending sales, he said. “We’ve seen some sales come under the program since it began in January,” said Wall, a broker and owner of Providence Realty. “Some of those have taken a little bit longer to close because it’s taken some time to get the NSP system running.” Foreclosed properties also may be the reason the average home

sale price fell from $149,684 in January to $123,394 in February, he said. “During the holidays, things slowed down in the foreclosure market as banks tried to work out loan modifications,” he said. “I do see that there are going to be some more foreclosures coming through that drive down home sales prices. At the same time, the NSP is going to help that not be as bad as it should be.” The most positive aspect of February data is the number of pending homes, Wall added. “All of those pending units, that’s really a good sign,” he said. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Thomasville traffic stop ends with gunfire BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – A Thomasville police officer shot a motorist during a traffic stop Friday after the person pulled a gun on the officer, authorities said. Officers responded to Julian Avenue and E. Main Street about 4:15 p.m. after a citizen called police to report a white van driving erratically in the area. Officers pulled the van

The investigation indicated that there was one occupant of the van during the traffic stop and the suspect did not fire their weapon at officers. over and “proceeded to investigate the reason for the erratic driving,” according to a Thomasville Police Department news release. “Shortly after, they encountered the driver pulling a gun on one of the officers. The officer fired his weapon in self-defense,” the release stated. The unidentified driver was wounded and taken to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center.

Top executive leaves Las Vegas market BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

His condition was unknown Friday night. Two officers were involved in the incident and both were unharmed, said police Capt. Darren Smith. Authorities on Friday did not release the names of the officers, both of whom were placed on administrative leave, which is normal protocol after law enforcement shootings. Smith declined to provide further information about the incident. The N.C. State Bureau of Investigation was called in to handle the investigation into the shooting, which also is standard procedure in officer-involved shootings in Thomasville. SBI agents continued to process the scene into the early evening Friday. Agents combed through the van, which was pulled over in the southbound lanes of Julian Avenue, just south of the railroad tracks that run through the middle of the city. The van had the name of a South Carolina company on it but was reportedly sold by that company a few months ago. The investigation indicated that there was one occupant of the van during the traffic stop and the suspect did not fire their weapon at officers, said Scott Williams of the SBI. He said investigators were still sorting out how many shots were fired by police and where the suspect was struck.

TRIAD – A senior vice president of the Las Vegas furniture market left the company this week. Phillip McKay joined World Market Center in the fall of 2008 as a senior vice president overseeing specialty leasing and trade shows. McKay’s position was created to promote leasing to the gift, lighting, rugs and decorative accessories segments of the home furnishings field, as well as launching new product line categories. McKay also was responsible for overseeing the development of existing and future trade show events at World Market Center, according to the announcement on his hiring in November 2008.

A Pakistani woman mourns a death of her family member in a suicide bombing in Lahore, Pakistan, on Friday. A pair of suicide bombers targeting army vehicles detonated explosives, killing scores of people, police said.

Two suicide bombers kill 43 in Pakistani city LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Two suicide bombers killed 43 people in near-simultaneous blasts Friday, the fourth major attack in Pakistan this week and a clear sign that militants have the power to strike targets despite months of army offensives and U.S. missile strikes. The twin bombings, which also wounded about 100 people, raised fears of a new wave of attacks by Islamic militants. With

Police officials said the five low-intensity blasts apparently resulted from loose explosives scattered through the residential area of Iqbal Town. While the explosions terrified residents and sent police and rescue workers racing through town, there were no reports of deaths or major damage.

TOM BLOUNT: Different procedures don’t always indicate bias. TOMORROW

Opinion Page Editor: Vince Wheeler vwheeler@hpe.com (336) 888-3517

Ask some simple questions about health care plan How you can add 30 million people to the health care rolls while reducing costs? Some argue that savings can be accomplished by eliminating or reducing waste, fraud and abuse in existing programs. An excellent idea! However, I’m somewhat perplexed as to why Congress hasn’t been doing this for years. Advocates of Obamacare say that people who can’t afford health care insurance will have their premiums subsidized. Frankly, that word scares me. It conjures up visions of tax credits for those who don’t pay taxes in the first place or outright payments in the form of entitlements. Either way, the money comes from only one source, your taxes. Cut Medicare by $500 billion without rationing or reducing benefits for the elderly or increasing taxes on those making less than $250,000. Another great idea! Problem is that figure is 25 times our entire state budget.

How can we possibly afford these excesses?

YOUR VIEW

---

Put another way, if N.C.’s share of the cost was 1/50th (50 states), it would amount to more than 50 percent of our total budget. Consider the success our government has exhibited in running Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the Postal Service, to name a few. Blue Cross is one of our state’s largest employers at about 4,5000 employees. That large, evil company had an outrageous profit of 2.1 percent in 2009. Compare that with Wal-Mart at 22 percent and Microsoft and Exxon at 18 percent. The Postal Service lost over $3 billion during the same period. What does that tell you? Without the profit motive, what would be the incentive to take risks? Who would create jobs? Who would pay taxes? Does the government produce anything? How can we possibly afford these excesses? We need to wake up and ask ourselves these simple questions and convey our conclusions to our elected officials either through direct communications or the ballot box. DICK ANGEL Thomasville

Tragic Trinity wreck impacts several families This letter is in response to a wreck that happened March 6 at Highway 62 and Hopewell Church Road. I want to thank the witnesses that got out and helped my grandchildren. They called 9-1-1 and comforted them at the scene. These were their guardian angels. There were no TV crews on hand to show how bad it really was. My daughter called me, I could hardly make out what she was saying. She was just arriving on the scene when she saw all the people involved there. I got in my car heading for their house not knowing was had happened. When I topped the hill at Community One Bank, I could not believe my eyes. Michael Smith’s SUV was upside down crashed. My heart fell to my feet, I said dear Lord help me deal with what’s happened, not knowing if they were dead or how badly they were hurt. I parked, ran over

there to hear them screaming. Mom and dad were there and so was the Smith family. Thanks to them for what they did for my grandchildren. They were traumatized. Thanks be to God for having his hands on them. They barely had room to crawl out over busted glass. My heart goes out to the 31-yearold man who lost his dad. His dad was teaching him how to drive. We began praying for that whole family also. I do not know them, but God bless them. Thanks be to God that my grandchildren were released by night with minor injuries. Thanks also to High Point Regional Hospital staff for being so wonderful. Again, I thank the Lord for His protecting power. BECKY HALL Trinity

Keep plugging for alternative energy sources

The Charlotte (N.C.) Observer, March 6 In a new study that will cheer advocates of alternative energy sources, a retired Duke University economics professor and administrator argues that a combination of dispersed wind energy and solar energy generators in North Carolina could obviate the need for costly new nuclear or coal-fired power plants. John Blackburn, professor emeritus of economics and former provost and chancellor at Duke, challenges the widely held view that this state’s wind and solar resources are so inconsistent that their use would still require significant backup power plants or additional baseload generating stations. This theory takes the view that winds in many places in this state are not steady or strong enough to provide substantial generating capacity, and that the sun does not shine strongly enough in winter months to produce enough power. But Blackburn, in a study for the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research in Maryland, argues that a carefully planned combination of wind and solar generating units are capable of providing for North Carolina’s electricity needs with only modest assistance from hydropower plants, natural gas generation and purchased power. ... Blackburn’s study is, of course, an assessment of possibilities based on certain presumptions. But he notes that the solar energy that falls on the state each day “is more than 400 times larger than the annual energy use in the state.” Finding ways to capture that energy and wind power is a complicated matter that turns on many questions of economics, topography, engineering and environmental concerns. Duke Energy, which has proposed an encouraging wind energy project in Pamlico Sound to gauge the potential for harvesting wind energy in that area as well as farther off the coastline, is facing similar concerns. It is working with UNC-Chapel Hill to test commercial wind power by building up to three wind turbines in an area about seven miles west of Avon and nine miles north of Frisco on the Outer Banks island of Hatteras. Winds are plentiful in that region, and constructing the project in the comparatively shallow Pamlico would give researchers considerable experience and knowledge about harnessing wind power on our coast. But it won’t happen quickly. As the Observer’s Bruce Henderson recently reported, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wants Duke Energy to perform an environmental impact statement on the potential effects of the project. Such a study could take up to two years, further delaying creation of more alternative energy sources. That’s all the more reason to press forward with further research on the possibility of generating the kinds of significant energy supplies that Blackburn’s intriguing study envisions.

Republicans want us to forget the Bush years

he 20th century poet Carl Sandburg believed that “the past is a bucket of ashes,” that people should live in the here and now. According to the bard, yesterday is gone, and we should not go there. Some political folks share his opinion when it comes to mentioning George W. Bush; they grumble and assert that everything is Obama’s responsibility now. Some people think it would be nice if the Republican Party first began with the Tea Party activists, if there were no history to speak of until that point. The Republicans would start with a clean slate. Their promises never would have been tested; they would be the new neighbors on the block. Unfortunately, that’s not true. We know the GOP well. We’ve lived through their policies. The Republicans have an extensive history of governing the nation. George W. Bush even says he wants to be unknown. Bush says he doesn’t want to be on an ex-presidents’ panel. He’s working on regaining anonymity. He wants to be a private citizen, living quietly on a tree-lined street. Bush doesn’t seek the limelight or even offer President Obama any advice. Until his new book comes out, we are to forget that he ever happened to the nation. All problems are President Obama’s doing; the current president takes the blame for the tough times. Obama is the big spender. Former President Bush was busy at his ranch; he never inked a dime to the deficit. His two wars were free, at least as far as accounting and the budget. George W. Bush is not guilty of gutting the national treasury with $1.7 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy, and he should not be talked about. Or so some people want us to believe.

It is important to remember most aspects of the Bush administrations, so that they do not happen again. I think that it is frightening how quickly political damage can be forgotten. OPINION Like a bovine herd, we are being moved away Kristine from Bush’s history. OrKaiser ganized, powerful people ■■■ have decided that he should not be discussed or recalled. It is a strategy to regain power. Yet, Bush’s years led us to our present concerns. His policies caused the current recession. Oddly, one still hears GOPers talk about deregulation and large tax cuts for the rich as if these measures were somehow good. They were disasters for America and its people. As a columnist, I observed the Bush terms, chronicled them with interest. I wrote about them for eight years. They were times when the citizens were being ignored for corporate interests. They were years when the country was seen as a unilateralist bully around the free world. They were years that played down civil liberties with illegal wiretapping and surveillance. The times ignored human rights with enhanced interrogations of prisoners. They were times when the poor became poorer and the wealthy prospered. The Bush years were not good chapters in the history book. That is why now we must ardently remember them and not sweep them away like ashes. Political yesterdays are tools and markers for a wise electorate. KRISTINE KAISER lives in Kernersville.

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-2 We are all prone to errors of judgement. Psychologists and social scientists have been investigating the many and various forms of these errors for decades. Some of these are virtually built into the very structure of our psyches. Almost everyone has a self-serving bias. For These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have instance, we simply cannot understand how others could think peace. In the world ye shall have and feel the way they do when it differs so radically from our tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. own ways of thinking and feeling. At different times in our John 16:33 lives we are prone to particular errors of judgement. Prior to our brains being fully developed, which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t occur until the mid-twenties, we are not very good at risk assessment and more likely to be impulsive. Witness the high rate of car crashes among teenagers. At the other end of the age spectrum, older adults often place too much trust in their experience and thus they may fall prey to overconďŹ dence in their judgements. The fact is, errors of judgement are a pervasive fact of life, and we would all do well to leaven our thinking with a moderate dose of humility. We have been wrong in the past and surely we will be wrong in the future, so we should not be too sure that we are not wrong now.

Court upholds â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;under Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in pledge and Newdow received death threats. That lawsuit reached the U.S. Supreme Court in 2004, but the high court said Newdow lacked the legal standing to file the suit because he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have custody of his daughter, on whose behalf he brought the case. So Newdow filed an identical challenge on behalf of other parents who objected to the recitation of the pledge at school. In 2005, a federal judge in Sacramento decided in Newdowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favor, prompting the appeals court to take up the case again. Judge Carlos Bea, who was appointed by Bush in 2003, wrote for the majority in Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2-1 ruling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Pledge of Allegiance serves to unite our vast nation through the proud recitation of some of the ideals upon which our Republic was founded,â&#x20AC;? he said.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A federal appeals court upheld the use of the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;under Godâ&#x20AC;? in the Pledge of Allegiance and â&#x20AC;&#x153;In God We Trustâ&#x20AC;? on U.S. currency, rejecting arguments Thursday that the phrases violate the separation of church and state. The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel rejected two legal challenges by Sacramento atheist Michael Newdow, who said the references to God are unconstitutional and infringe on his religious beliefs. The same appeals court caused a national uproar and prompted accusations of judicial activism when it decided in Newdowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favor in 2002, ruling that the pledge violated the First Amendment prohibition against government endorsement of religion.

ike me, I expect you recall someone in your life who helped push you along. They lifted you up. They offered encouragement when you needed it most. Had you failed to respond to their helping hand and opportunity for improvement, life could be a muddled mess for you. Personal decisions we make and those we make about helping someone else have eternal consequences. I was by nature, as a teen and young adult, the kind of person who could have stayed in the shadows of bashfulness. I was not always sure of myself, but I excelled in basketball, track and baseball. I lost much of that insecurity after I met the Rev. Ivan P. Alls. He had read the books of Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill, W. Clemet Stone and Norman Vincent Peale. At the time, I was a student at Marshall University, majoring in sociology with a minor in psychology. Pastor Alls not only encouraged me to do things and gave me opportunities to do them, but he bragged on what I did.

Pre-Market to open Monday

WHO’S NEWS

Officials say record number have signed up to attend BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – After proving last fall that it could battle against the big guys, the spring Pre-Market will open Monday with the largest number of pre-registered attendees in its recorded history. The invitation-only event that takes place about a month before each High Point Market has preregistered 161 buyers representing 70 companies, which is in line with the High Point Market Authority’s efforts in the last three to four years to beef up the event. Pre-Market is a two-day event where some showrooms open to a small group of major retailers to offer a sneak preview of marketready products, said Brian Casey, president of the market authority. By participating, manufacturers receive feedback on products before showing at the High Point Market. The event went to head-to-head with the Las Vegas Furniture Market for the first time last fall when the Las Vegas show took place Sept. 14-17 and Pre-Market was held Sept. 14-15. Casey said the event performed well against Las Vegas, though the shows are two “very different events.” “I don’t think there is a comparison between Las Vegas and PreMarket, but it was unfortunate that Vegas conditioned their dates on top of our Pre-Market (last fall),” he said. “But it was the strongest PreMarket we’ve had. I think it demonstrates we’ve only improved due to the competition.” The growing number of people who attend Pre-Market also may indicate that the retail and furniture industries are starting to see some life, Casey said, though the event is something the market authority hopes to keep small and intimate. “I think Pre-Market is at a good size,” he said. “It’s really proving to be a viable event for the industry. It’s designed to be niche in its approach, and it’s not for everybody. It’s also designed to grow the (fall and spring) High Point Markets.” Kevin O’Connor, chairman of the market authority’s board of directors and CEO of Samson Marketing, has been credited with re-growing the event, which was once an informal, unofficial gathering of industry officials who wanted to meet before the furniture market arrived, he said. Since it’s rebirth, Pre-Market is becoming “routinely important for buyers and manufacturers” who show at the furniture market, he said. “It makes their experience a month later that less stressful,” he said. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Mow no more, plant moss instead H

ow would you like the ultimate lush, green yard, especially in the shade? Also, have it with no more mowing, fertilizing or reseeding? If you answered yes, maybe the answer is Moss Milkshake. Moss has been around millions of years beautifying shaded and semi-shaded areas where grass does not grow well. Moss is just like other plants; it absorbs carbon dioxide from the air and gives off life-giving oxygen. Moss is easy to grow and requires little or no maintenance once established. Moss can be used for naturalized areas, Japanese gardens, patios, walkways and rock gardens or a soft carpet around water gardens. Moss Milkshake is a new product that is packaged dry and has an unlimited shelf life. It comes in a wax milk carton type package containing dry

moss fragments, powdered buttermilk and water retention gel powder. Once mixed in a bucket with water, the ECOLOGY milkshake slurry covers from 10 Gwyn to 20 square feet. Riddick Alternatively it â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; can be sprinkled out dry and watered in. Within a few weeks the moss fragments begin to grow together and in several months a lush carpet of moss will be growing in the shade. Several kinds of moss are available. Cushion moss prefers sandy soil, likes shade, but can tolerate partial sun. This moss is a lighter green color with a silvery-white cast to it. It grows in a round cushion shape, and is shipped in clumps.

Sheet Moss (Hypnum) thrives in shade, but will also tolerate partial sunlight â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but not direct afternoon sun. This vibrant shade plants color is medium green. These unique shade plants are ideal as a ground cover between stepping stones, patio stones or for any light to medium foot traffic area. Because of its low growth habit, Hypnum is the ideal companion plant for highlighting low growing plants such as evergreen groundcovers and delicate native wildflowers. It is also the moss of choice for Â¨moss lawnsÂ¨ or moss paths. Hair Cap moss has soil anchoring structures that closely resemble and function like roots. Moss Acres supplies this species in clumps with soil still attached. Haircap moss prefers medium shade to partial sun and likes sandy soil. Rock Cap moss is typically

found growing atop rocks and boulders in the wild. This dense, medium- to dark-green moss transplants extremely well into shady areas and onto rocks or soil. According to Moss Acres, moss plants â&#x20AC;&#x153;...obtain all their nutrients from the air (moss has no true roots), moss plants require nothing more than shade, acidic soil and adequate moisture to flourish. All moss plants need is a firm soil bed in a location with adequate shade. It is also imperative that the area in which moss plants will be grown is blown or swept clear of any existing plants, leaves or debris. Moss also seems to prefer poor quality soils with low nutrient levels.â&#x20AC;? The manufacturer recommends a ph between 5.0 and 6.0 which is ideal for Piedmont soils. Once the moss is placed onto the soil, the sections of moss plants must be tamped

firmly into position and watered regularly for the first two to three weeks. Moss Acres is a company located in the northeastern edge of the Pennsylvania Pocono Mountains. They have been harvesting, packaging and shipping moss for North America for 10 years. Look for it at your retailer this spring. So if you want really to â&#x20AC;&#x153;go green,â&#x20AC;? try growing moss. You can put away your mower and lawn care products and relax in the shade.

Tongues wag even after teenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death D

ear Abby: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a junior in high school, and a girl I was acquainted with was killed in a car crash. The accident was the result of bad road conditions, and she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wearing her seatbelt. The driver of the car survived. Because this girl had a reputation for being a troublemaker â&#x20AC;&#x201C; skipping classes, getting pregnant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some adults here think she got what she deserved. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insensitive to say such things while her parents are mourning the loss of their daughter. She may not have been the nicest person, but I feel sad for her parents and the baby she left behind. How do I respond to these negative comments? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sympathetic Teen, Prosser, Wash. Dear Sympathetic Teen: I think you said it

very well in your letter. That girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents are mourning the loss ADVICE of their daughter, Dear and this is Abby a tragedy â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; not only for them, but also for the baby who lost its mother. Yes, she made mistakes but none of them warranted the death penalty. Dear Abby: I crave certain foods sometimes. My doctor said that when you crave a food, it means your body needs something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contained in the food â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as salt on pretzels. My grandmother thinks whenever I say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m craving a food that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pregnant. I have tried to explain to her

that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that sometimes when your body needs a certain vitamin or mineral, people crave foods that are high in it. My grandmother insists that my doctor is wrong and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what she is talking about. She says the only time a woman craves a certain food is when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pregnant. Unlike my doctor, my grandmother has not been to medical school. She thinks experience and age are everything, and science is nothing. Abby, what should I say to my grandmother to help her understand that science is here for a reason? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Craving Help in Mustang, Okla. Dear Craving Help: Please stop arguing with your grandmother because as steeped in â&#x20AC;&#x153;folk wisdomâ&#x20AC;? as she appears to be, she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to budge. I do have one

suggestion, though. The most effective way to get her to quit telling you youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pregnant would be to stop telling her you have a craving. Dear Abby: We recently remodeled my mother-in-lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now trying to move back in and put things away. She asks my opinion constantly about where things should go, but when I give her my answer, she always disagrees. Her house is small and storage is limited. I try to give her ideas (which she asks for) for organizing her stuff â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but then she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, no,â&#x20AC;? and shoves everything in her pantry. I hate to see her clutter her house when she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to, and I feel her disregarding my help is intentional. What are your thoughts? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Trying To

Let It Go, Richmond, Va. Dear Trying: Your mother-in-law may ask your advice not because she intends to use it, but because she likes the attention sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting from you. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that you emotionally disengage from whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on, and remember that SHE will have to live with the disorganized mess sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creating, not you. You did your part by helping out with the remodel, so give yourself a pat on the back for that and step back. Your relationship with your motherin-law will be better, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll experience less frustration if you do. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Officials keep jobs until successors sworn in RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Appointed government officials in North Carolina keep their authority to carry out their job until their successors take the oath of office, the state Supreme Court ruled Friday, restoring a workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; compensation claim award approved by an outgoing state official. Without a dissenting opinion, the seven justices reversed a state Court of Appeals ruling that threw out the February 2007 decision ordering Denny Nicholson Inc. of Lexington to pay its injured truck driver $359 per week, plus a 10 percent penalty and attorney fees. Lawyers for the company argued the award was void because then-Gov. Mike Easley appointed someone to replace Industrial Commission member Thomas Bolch three days before the award he signed was filed.

Saturday, March 13, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Adam Clayton, 50; Dana Delany, 54; William H. Macy, 60; Neil Sedaka, 71 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Your ability to dream big can turn into a costly venture if you start something new without doing enough research. You need to utilize what you have, not incorporate the impossible. Listen to what people with experience and authority can offer. Then you can avoid the long- term effects that can plague you if you jump into something without enough knowledge or cash. Your numbers are 12, 19, 22, 26, 33, 41, 48 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your emphasis must be on completion, moderation and detail. Any relationship that limits your creativity or right to enjoy life should be questioned and reconsidered. Your motives must be clear-cut and realistic. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Expect to deal with other people’s problems. Don’t expect everyone to be honest with you regarding emotional issues or possible resolution. Trust issues will arise and can lead to a difference of opinion. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your intuition will guide you through some tough decisions and will help you decipher who is on your side and who isn’t. Realize that people leaning on you or complaining are probably overreacting. A smart, fast response will be necessary and effective. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can make some exciting decisions that can upgrade your professional plans. Changes to your living space will give you greater incentive to work from home. A small, personal business will ease your financial stress and build your confidence. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Travel plans should involve visiting an old friend or taking a course that allows you greater professional options.

“My partner is such an optimist,” a club player told me. “If he died in an elavator, he’d press the ’UP’ button. But his rosy views often land him in trouble.” In a team match, the optimist was declarer at 1NT. He put up dummy’s queen on the first spade and was happy when it won. “My partner must have thought this was a deal for optimism,” North told me. “He led the queen of clubs to finesse, and West played low. South next let the jack ride, and his face fell when West took the king and led another spade.” DOWN ONE South took the ace and cashed the A-K of diamonds and the ace of clubs. The defense had the rest for down one. If West was a good defender, South couldn’t assume his second club finesse would work. South would have a problem at matchpoint scoring, but at IMPs or party bridge he should shift to the A-K of diamonds, relying on a 3-2 break (a 68 percent chance). When East-West follow, South concedes a diamond and has three diamonds,

two clubs and two spades. DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A 5 3 H J 8 5 D A K 5 4 C A 9 8. You open 1NT, and your partner responds two diamonds, a “transfer.” You bid two hearts, and he raises to three hearts. What do you say? ANSWER: Your partner has invited game and has a six-card heart suit and seven or eight high-card points. Even if your 1NT range is 16 to 18 points, bid four hearts. You have three cards in hearts, and all your values are prime. Partner may hold 6 4, Q 10 9 7 6 3, 3 2, K Q 4. South dealer Both sides vulnerable

Exercise can bring on asthma attacks D

ear Dr. Donohue: At age 35 and in the wintertime, I decided to get into shape. I joined two others in daily jogging. Things went well until the end of December, when I started to cough while jogging. Sometimes the coughing was so bad that I had to stop. The coughing cleared enough to allow me to resume running, but it didn’t go away entirely. One of my buddies thinks I have asthma. Could that be? I thought asthma was something you got in childhood and that it came from allergies. – L.F.

BLONDIE

B.C.

Your friend sounds like he’s on the right track to me. An asthma attack is a sudden narrowing of the airways (bronchi) along with the production of thick mucus in the airways. Both the constriction and mucus make the movement of air into and out of the lungs difficult. Coughing, chest tightness and wheezing are signs of asthma. Wheezing is a high-pitched, whistling sound made by air passing through constricted airways. Asthma appears at any age. Half of all asthma patients are adults, and many of them developed it later in life, not in childhood. Breathing cold, dry air is a known asthma trigger. Your symptoms fit well into exercise-induced asthma.

The only way you’ll find out what’s making you cough is to have a doctor exHEALTH amine you and to take Dr. Paul breathing Donohue tests. If you ■■■ do have exerciseinduced asthma, you can still run and you can still run outdoors. When running, breathe through your nose to warm and humidify the incoming air. I know it’s hard to get enough air through the nose when you run. If need be, wear a face mask or wrap a scarf around your mouth and nose and partially mouth-breathe. If the doctor confirms the diagnosis of asthma, inhaled medicines before exercise can prevent an attack, and other inhaled medicines can abort an attack, if need be. You really must get this matter settled. Asthma is only one of the causes of coughing due to exercise. Dear Dr. Donohue: You recently told an 80plus man that yardwork was a good form of exercise. I have always heard that raking and shoveling were bad for the heart at any age, surely for the elderly. – D.D. Hang on a minute. I looked up that letter and my response.

The man was 86 and wanted me to write about the value of household chores as exercise. He mentioned raking leaves as being an example. Nothing was said about shoveling snow or dirt. I started off with the usual caveat that he should first get his doctor’s approval. I do that for any older person who wants to exercise. Raking leaves is about four times more strenuous than sitting quietly. That’s enough exertion to qualify as beneficial exercise but not excessive exercise. Shoveling heavy snow or dirt is a different story. Every winter, emergencyroom doctors prepare for the influx of heart attacks that occur after the first snow. Shoveling snow (or dirt) is demanding, too demanding for most people of age 86. Many would tell men and women over 50 not to engage in such arduous labor without first knowing their hearts are up to such a challenge. Your point is welltaken. Unusually hard exercise should be approached with respect and caution. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

ACC TOURNAMENT

GREENSBORO – Fear of an upset in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals proved to be a great motivator for Duke. Up just 46-44 with 6:21 to play, the top-seeded Blue Devils scored 11 straight points while holding ninth-seeded Virginia scoreless over the next six minutes and escaped with 57-46 in Thursday’s first game at the Greensboro Coliseum. Improving to 21-5, Duke faces 12th-seed Miami in today’s opening game at 1:30 p.m. Virginia, which lost 10 of its last 11, falls to 15-16. “I thought we were ready to play but I don’t think we came with a sense of urgency,” Blue Devil coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Virginia made it 46-44. I think the situation created a sense of urgency. You better play or you are going home tonight.” Jon Scheyer did most of the damage during the decisive run with four buckets after hitting three of his previous 11 shots. He finished with 15 points, three behind the 18 of leading scorer Kyle Singler (who also had 11 rebounds). “I just stopped thinking about my shooting so much,” Scheyer said. “I wasn’t in a very good rhythm. Finally, I started attacking and I started making them.” Nolan Smith started the run with a tip that was the last of his 15 points. Singler also con-

Panther women ground Eagles BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – A stirring victory, and a history lesson, too? High Point University’s women’s basketball team pulled out an improbable victory Friday night in the first round of the Big South Conference women’s basketball tournament, forcing overtime on Erin Reynolds’ 3-pointer at the buzzer before beating Winthrop 68-65 to reach today’s 3 p.m. semifinal against Liberty. The Panthers trailed 60-57 with 3.2 seconds remaining when Winthrop called a timeout to set up its defense. HPU coach Tooey Loy drew up a play that looked an awfully lot like the 1998 NCAA Tournament buzzer-beater from Bryce Drew and Valparaiso. Amy Dodd inbounded to Mackenzie Maier, who made a tough catch near mid-court and fed to a streaking Reynolds along the right side. Reynolds fired a lowangle 3 that banked in just as the buzzer sounded, sending the Millis Center crowd into a frenzy. “It was just something in the heat of the moment Coach drew up,” Reynolds said. “I was just thinking in my mind I don’t want to let the team down. He drew up the play for me to take the last shot.” Loy admitted that the play he drew up was Valpo’s historymaker. And neither Shamia Brown, Maier nor Reynolds ever had heard of the moment. “I think it’s before she was born,” Loy said with a laugh of Reynolds. Sixth-seeded Winthrop (13-18) opened the overtime with four straight turnovers but still led 6563 on a Jessica Fansler 3-pointer and Shanice Cole layup – the last of her 30 points – with just more than two minutes to go. But the Eagles would not score again, and No. 3 HPU (17-13) got a

High Point University’s Amy Dodd (24) battles for the ball with Winthrop’s Jessica Fansler (left) and Kaitlyn Rubino as the Panthers’ Mackenzie Maier (right) joins the fray during Friday night’s Big South Women’s Tournament quarterfinal at the Millis Center. The Panthers prevailed 68-65 in overtime. 3-pointer from Jurica Hargraves with 48 seconds to go to grab a one-point lead. A pair of foul shots from Maier and Dodd made it a three-point game before Winthrop’s final shot at the buzzer fell harmlessly short.

“I guess we just realized it was now or never,” Maier said of her team’s rally from a sluggish second-half effort. “Our main goal is to win the championship, and we had to get past this round first.” Brown sparked HPU off the

bench and finished with 15 points, 14 rebounds and four steals, while Hargraves and Maier each scored 10 points. Dodd ended with nine points and four steals after a strong first half. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

HIT AND RUN

iven the hype and 57-year tradition of the ACC Tournament in addition to it being the official conference championship, one would think teams would have no problem being motivated to play. Wake Forest, Boston College and Clemson weren’t in first-round losses. Virginia Tech was lackluster in its quarterfinal loss Friday. Maryland came out flat and missed 22 of 31 shots to fall behind Georgia Tech by 16 at the half in one of last night’s quarterfinals. Top-seeded Duke wasn’t particularly motivated, but survived an upset scare from Virginia.

Some of the Blue Devils indicated they won’t make the same mistake today. Virginia’s ability to stay close got their attention. “We’ll take it and learn from it,” Duke center Brian Zoubek said. “You don’t know what it is going to be like coming into the ACC Tournament. I hope we learn we just can’t come out like that. It’s one and done. We’ve got to come out hard right from the tip.” Blue Devil senior guard Jon Scheyer, who spearheaded the late spurt that put the Cavaliers away, said the noon start and Virginia trying to slow down the pace played a factor. “We understood it was a different type of

game,” Scheyer said. “I don’t think we did the best we could to control tempo.” Unlike some other teams, the Hurricanes were excited by the opportunity to erase a poor regular season and take an NCAA Tournament bid by winning the championship. The Hurricanes surprised Wake and the Hokies. Given the wake-up call Duke received Friday, it’s hard to imagine the 12th-seeded Hurricanes can sneak up on the Blue Devils and keep the dream alive.

TODAY’S GAMES

Auburn fires Lebo AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Jeff Lebo was fired Friday as Auburn’s basketball coach after his fourth losing season in six years with the Tigers. Tapped to rebuild the program in 2004, Lebo failed to do so and was dismissed by athletic director Jay Jacobs after going 96-93 overall and 35-61 in Southeastern Conference play. Lebo took the Tigers to the postseason only once — to the NIT in 2009. With expectations raised this season, Auburn finished 15-17, including 6-10 in the league. The team will return only one starter next year. “I want to thank coach Lebo for all that he has done for Auburn University over the past six years,” Jacobs said. “Coach Lebo has worked hard and has always represented Auburn with character, class and integrity. However, we feel like the time has come for Auburn basketball to move in a new direction.” Jacobs made the move after Tigers’ season ended Thursday with a 78-69 loss to Florida in the SEC tournament. He said a search for a replacement would begin immediately. Lebo played for North Carolina in 1985-88 and began his college coaching career at Tennessee Tech.

Beware of Wolfpack N.C. State’s C.J. Williams (21) celebrates the Wolfpack’s 59-57 upset of sixthseeded Clemson in the first round of the ACC Tournament late Thursday night in Greensboro. The Wolfpack advanced to battle third-seeded Florida State in the quarterfinals late Friday night.

GREENSBORO – Miami freshman guard Durand Scott isn’t sure where he developed the desire to go to the basket. “I don’t know,” Scott said. “I can’t give you an answer. I just always have heart and I’m always ready to play. I don’t ever back down. Coming from New York you learn a lot of things playing in the street-ball tournaments, watching the pros playing ahead of you. I guess I learned it there.” Scott showed off his education when it mattered most Thursday, going to the hoop to score seven points and adding the clinching free throws to spur 12th-seeded Miami in a 70-65 upset of fifth-seeded Virginia Tech in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament. The Hurricanes trailed 61-59 when Scott’s binge began with a 3-point play that included a layup and free throw. After the Hokies went up 64-62 on Terrell Bell’s 3-pointer, Scott tied the score with another drive to the hoop with 2:10 to go. Tech enjoyed its last lead on a free throw before Scott put the Hokies ahead for good at 66-65 on two fouls shots with 1:53 to go. After a Tech miss. Malcolm Grant added two more free throws. After another Tech miss, Scott closed the scoring with the last two of his team-leading 17 points. “I’m a great driver and I know I can get to the basket any time I want,” Scott said. “There’s nobody in this league that I believe can stop me when I am determined to do it.” Miami, which won only four ACC games in the regular season and trailed by as many as 10 points in the first half, improves to 20-12. Virginia Tech waits to see if its 23-8 record is good enough to get into the NCAA Tournament despite a poor nonconference schedule. “We didn’t guard the ball the way we should have the last four minutes and we didn’t make shots,” Tech coach Seth Greenberg said. “It’s not a lot trickier than that.” Jeff Allen scored 18 points to lead the Hokies, who shot just 38 percent from the field (24 of 63) and missed seven free throws (11 of 18). Dorenzo Hudson added 16 and Terrell Bell had 12 but All-ACC selection Malcolm Delaney went 3-of-15 and managed just seven points.

Miami’s Johnson excels close to home Georgia Tech bounces Terps G gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

rowing up playing basketball in Winston-Salem, Reggie Johnson was a fan of the University of North Carolina. He likes to use the word fun. Johnson said he never was seriously recruited by the Tar Heels. Today he gets a chance to beat the Tar Heels’ archrivals on the biggest stage of his career. “It means a lot to me,” Johnson said. “As a UNC fan and hating Duke growing up, it’s going to be fun playing them in SPORTS the tournament.” Johnson, a redshirt Greer freshman who went to Smith Winston-Salem Prep, gets ■■■ his shot at Duke today in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament as the center for the Miami Hurricanes, who didn’t have much fun in the regular season but had a blast the Greensboro Coliseum as they upset atrocious Wake Forest in the first round and wayward Virginia Tech in the Friday’s quarterfinals. “I’ve been playing basketball for a long time, as long a can remember,” Johnson said shortly after the Hurricanes blew the Hokies back toward Blacksburg. “It’s just fun. It’s the ACC Tournament. I’m here back near my hometown. I’m going to relax and have fun.” Johnson, who scored 25 points and pulled down 23 rebounds in helping Prep win the NCHSAA 1A title in 2008, said he might have wound up at Wake Forest if coach Skip Prosser had not passed away in the summer of 2007. He said he also drew attention from N.C. State. Johnson wound up at Miami because of the tact coach Frank Haith took in recruiting. “He always came in and talked to me,” Johnson said. “It seemed like he wanted me instead of just needed me. My coach was big on that, go to school that wanted me instead of needed me. And coach Haith was like that.” Johnson was a reserve until senior Dwayne Collins went down because of a stressed tibia. He is a big reason, with his 6-10, 295-pound frame, the Hurricanes advanced to the semifinal without leading scorer and rebounder Collins. Johnson, who came into the tournament averaging six points per game, took advantage of Wake Forest’s soft defense to score a personal-high 22

points. He scored just five points against Virginia Tech, but came through with 12 rebounds. Johnson said it was his contribution in the wake of a meeting the team held Johnson after it was known Collins wouldn’t play in the Hurricanes regular-season finale against Florida State, a one-point Miami loss. “The leaders got us together and said we knew what we were capable of,” Johnson said. “The captain of the ship is down, so we came out and played hard as one. I’m sure a lot of people are surprised we’re in the semifinals without Dwayne Collins.” That would be about everybody outside of the Miami supporters that watched the Hurricanes play the past two days in the much less than full Greensboro Coliseum. They’ve become the first Cinderella of the ball, advancing to the semifinals for the first time in six tries since joining the league and setting up the second 1-12 matchup ever. Johnson doesn’t expect the Hurricanes to become an underdog darling in their attempt to win the championship and steal an unlikely NCAA Tournament bid. “We’re all we’ve got,” he said. Until recently, Miami didn’t always have each other, judging from the comments Friday’s hero Durand Scott made in describing why the Hurricanes have picked up strength this week. “We’ve had our ups and downs and injuries and attitudes,” Scott said. “Now we are one family. We’re not all over the place.” Scott and Johnson believe they have a shot at an upset if they play hard and outrebound the Blue Devils. “The previous time they beat us by seven (on Feb. 17),” Scott said. “If we come out there and do what the coach tells us to do, come out and rebound, play hard and play defense, I think we be a tough test.” Johnson carries no fantasies the Hurricanes can sneak up on the Blue Devils. “Duke is a tough team, so we’ve got to prepare,” Johnson said. “They shoot, drive, do all kind of things. They’re big in the middle. We’ve got to be smart (to compete) against Duke.” One thing is almost certain. He’ll be having fun. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

GREENSBORO (AP) – Iman Shumpert scored 14 points and made the key defensive play that lifted Georgia Tech past No. 19 Maryland 69-64 on Friday night in the Atlantic Coast Conference quarterfinals. Maurice Miller added 13 points for the seventhseeded Yellow Jackets (21-11). They blew most of a 19-point lead and had 25 turnovers, but held on to advance to the semifinals for the first time since 2005. Greivis Vasquez had 17 points on 6 of 21 shooting for the Terrapins

(23-8). They had the ball and were within one possession of the lead six times in the final 4:30 and didn’t score on any of those possessions. The last chance came when Maryland trailed 67-64 and Vasquez pulled up for a long 3-pointer with about 6 seconds left. Shumpert knocked the ball from his hands, took off downcourt and was fouled. He and Derrick Favors hit one free throw apiece in the final 3.7 seconds to seal the Yellow Jackets’ first victory in the series since 2004.

Nerves will be tested today in the Smith Center T

he team name is the same, but the players are different â&#x20AC;&#x201C; vastly different. The routines will remain the same, but will the result be the same? Or vastly different? Bishop McGuinnessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; girls meet Williamston today at noon in Chapel Hill in the Villainsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attempt to win a fifth straight N.C. High School Athletic Association 1A championship. The last four titles came by an average margin of 26 points, but with a galaxy of college-bound seniors powering each Villains unit. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roster boasts just three upperclassmen, which is why the routines will remain in place prior to the noon tip in the Smith Center: Practice Friday evening at Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cameron Indoor Stadium. Same team meal. Same plan at the hotel. Same schedule for the pre-game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My main concern is how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going

to attack the building,â&#x20AC;? Villains coach Brian Robinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m concerned about us walking in and getting kind of star-struck because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so big. If we go out there and just focus on Williamston, SPORTS I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be fine.â&#x20AC;? Seniors Erin Fitzgerald Steve and Gabby Mortis, along Hanf with junior Megan Buckâ&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; land and sophomores Sammi Goldsmith, Marie Petrangeli and Sarah Coon, played in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship at Reynolds Coliseum. Only Fitzgerald saw court time two years ago in Chapel Hill. The hope, then, is that those players with title game experience â&#x20AC;&#x153;can tell (the others) enough to settle them down,â&#x20AC;? Robinson offered. Still ...

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be like,â&#x20AC;? said sophomore Lauren Cushing, one of the many players who went to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final as a spectator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know yet. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be ready.â&#x20AC;? Bishop (22-7) meets a Williamston squad that went 29-0 behind the efforts of top scorer Katie Paschal, who averages 33.4 points per game and ranks as the second-leading scorer in North Carolina history. The Tigers have enjoyed success in recent years, but are making their first visit to a championship game since 1995. So while Bishop laments not having as much experience as usual on a roster with eight underclassmen, Williamston coach Hughes Barber still sees the Villains as holding an edge in that department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing we have to deal with is itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be our kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first time playing in that environment and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been

there four times doing it,â&#x20AC;? Barber said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our girls understand theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an opponent just like any other weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played all year, but those girls also read the paper, they know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won the last four championships.â&#x20AC;? For his part, Barber admitted that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like most everyone else across the state â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he assumed these young Villains to take a break from their championship run while retooling for the future: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess I kind of expected to see Mount Airy there,â&#x20AC;? the coach said of a Bears team that beat Bishop three times in Northwest Conference play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is what it is.â&#x20AC;? It turns out the future is now for these Villains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know we can do this, so letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do it,â&#x20AC;? Buckland said of her teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mindset. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not have to look back and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

straight birdies early in his round. Allenby was tied for the lead until a three-putt from 50 feet in rain so strong he could barely see the flag. The bogey gave him a 67 and will put him in the final group with Els today. Charl Schwartzel got up-and-down for par behind the 18th green when the round resumed to finish off a 70. He was at 7-under 137, along with Bob Hope Classic champion Bill Haas, who had a 66. Padraig Harrington (68) and Soren Hansen (69) were 6 under, while defending champion Phil Mickelson (69) was six shots out of the lead.

DORAL, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ernie Els was in the lead and off the golf course, and he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure which made him feel better. Rushing to finish as dark clouds gathered over the Blue Monster, Els made one last birdie for a 6-under 66 and a one-shot lead over Robert Allenby before heavy rain temporarily halted play Friday in the CA Championship. Eighteen players had to wait nearly three hours before they could resume the second round. When it finally ended, Els had his first lead after any round on U.S. soil since he won KENDALL SETS PACE the Honda Classic two years ago.

under after nine holes when first-round play was suspended because of darkness in the rain-delayed PGA Tour event. Heavy morning rain suspended play just 20 minutes after the first tee time and the round didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resume until 4:35 p.m. Downpours also forced the suspension of play Thursday, when 6.6 inches fell at oceanside Trump International Golf Club-Puerto Rico. Richard S. Johnson and Kevin Streelman were 4 under.

SERGAS AHEAD BY THREE MELBOURNE, Australia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Giulia Sergas shot a 4-under 69 to take a three-stroke lead after the second round of the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Australian Open.

Bobcats beat Clippers, win fifth straight

High Poin

game, at Orlando on Sunday, is uncertain, according to a team official. Wallace was driving for a fast-break layup after a steal when Davis grabbed him around the waist and knocked him to the floor with 1.5 seconds remain-

ing. Wallace laid there for several minutes, holding his head as team medical personnel worked on him, but he returned to hit a free throw and stake the Bobcats to a 16-point halftime lead.

The Bobcats built their lead as high as 18 points in the third quarter, going ahead 74-56 on Chandlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dunk with 4:40 remaining. But without Wallace in the lineup, Charlotte appeared to lack energy.

CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stephen Jackson scored 24 points and the Charlotte Bobcats held off a fourthquarter rally to beat the struggling Los Angeles Clippers 106-98 on Friday night. Boris Diaw added 16 points, Tyson Chandler 13 and Raymond Felton had 10 points and 11 assists for the Bobcats, who won their fifth straight as they chase the first playoff berth in franchise history. Baron Davis scored 24 points for the Clippers, who have lost six straight and eight of their last nine games. They are also 0-3 since general manager Mike Dunleavy was fired. Rasual Butler added 18 points, Travis Outlaw and Drew Gooden had 16 apiece and Chris Kaman 13 for Los Angeles.

Retail sales offer positive surprise WASHINGTON (AP) – Retail sales posted a surprising increase in February as consumers did not let major snowstorms stop them from racking up purchases. The advance, the biggest since November, provided hope that the recovery from the Great Recession is gaining momentum. Some economists cautioned, though, that spending increases will remain modest as long as wages stay flat and job creation weak. They also noted that the government revised down the increase in retail sales for January. For February, sales rose

Nokia revises market share to 34 percent HELSINKI – Nokia Corp. on Friday revised its global market share estimate for mobile phones in 2009 to 34 percent, from an earlier 38 percent, and said it expected no growth this year. The revision was due to more accurate measuring methods, including of counterfeit products, the world’s largest mobile phone maker said. Nokia said that although its market share was not expected to grow, the value of its market share this year would “increase slightly” over 2009. It gave no figures. Nokia left as unchanged a previous estimate that the total global market of mobile devices would grow 10 percent this year compared to 2009.

WaMu settles with with JPMorgan, FDIC WILMINGTON, Del. – Washington Mutual Inc. says it has resolved disputes with JPMorgan Chase & Co. and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. over some $4 billion at issue in the bank holding company’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The government agency seized Washington Mutual’s flagship bank in 2008 and sold its assets to JPMorgan for $1.9 billion. But the two banking companies and the FDIC have traded lawsuits over roughly $4 billion in disputed deposit accounts.

Official: Obama wants Yellen as Fed’s No. 2 WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama wants to nominate Janet Yellen, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, to take over as vice chairman of the Federal Reserve, an administration official said Friday. Yellen, who was a top economic adviser to President Bill Clinton, is considered a dove on monetary policy, meaning she is more worried about high unemployment than rising inflation. She would become the second highest ranking Fed official. Obama’s selections would have to be confirmed by the Senate. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

0.3 percent, the Commerce Department said Friday. That surpassed expectations that sales would decline 0.2 percent. The overall gain was held back by a 2 percent decline in auto sales, reflecting in part the recall problems at Toyota. Excluding autos, sales rose 0.8 percent. That was far better than the 0.1 percent increase excluding autos that economists had forecast. But the February sales gain followed a scant rise in January and a slight decline for December. The increase for January was revised down from 0.5 percent to 0.1 percent.

“Weak jobs growth, low wages growth and tight credit mean that any further acceleration in consumption growth is unlikely,” Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Economics, wrote in a research note. Still, the February gain suggested that consumers are spending more freely than they were a few months ago. The increases were widespread. Sales surged at department stores, furniture stores, appliance shops and hardware stores. Restaurants and bars enjoyed a 0.9 percent advance, their biggest gain in nearly two years.

FAA proposes more maintenance fines for American DALLAS (AP) – Federal regulators are proposing more maintenancerelated penalties against American Airlines. The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday it would fine American $787,500 for three cases of alleged maintenance problems. In the most serious case, regulators say American operated a plane without replacing a central air data computer on the jet. The McDonnell-Douglas jet has two such computers, which tell pilots the speed and altitude of the plane. In April 2008, pilots landing in Los Angeles noticed warning indicators going off, and mechanics traced the problem to the computer, according to an FAA document. Instead of fixing the computer as required by federal rules, the me-

chanics wrote up the incident as a problem with the auto throttle and the plane flew 10 flights with a broken computer, the FAA said. Another case involves inadequate inspections of rudder components on some Boeing 757 jets. In the third incident, the FAA said mechanics sent a plane back into service before final steps of a thorough maintenance review were checked off as completed. American has 30 days to respond to the FAA. Airline spokesman Tim Smith said American was reviewing the FAA charges and will meet with regulators to discuss the proposed penalties. “American Airlines is very proud of our safety record and our employees’ commitment to safety every day,” Smith said.

Oil settles near $81 after mixed news NEW YORK (AP) – Oil prices ended the week lower following mixed economic reports that kept investors on edge about the outlook for improving energy demand. On Friday benchmark crude for April delivery slid 87 cents to settle at $81.24 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices jumped as high as $83.16 earlier, after the Commerce Department reported a surprise increase in February retail sales and the International Energy Agency said world energy demand this year could be better than previously thought. The IEA, based in Paris, predicted in its monthly report that oil demand will average 86.6 million barrels a day this year, or 1.6 million barrels a day more than in 2009, up slightly from last month’s forecast. PFGBest analyst Phil Flynn said IEA’s report of “astonishing” demand growth out of China

pushed prices higher before traders backed off. “That’s the third report this week that showed China’s demand growth is going to be strong,” Flynn said. Still, he thinks China’s growth raises concerns. “The bottom line is the Chinese government is leading the global economy out of a recession, but if they end up popping, everyone will feel the reverberations,” said Flynn. U.S. retail sales rose 0.3 percent in February. Analysts expected a decline of 0.2 percent. The increase was the biggest since November and provided some hope that the recovery from the Great Recession is picking up speed. One energy analyst warned that consumers may be spending a little more, but are still worried about their jobs and losing their homes to foreclosure. “A return to pre-recession profligacy appears out of the question, for the moment,” said Mike Fitzpatrick of MF global.

Economic reports leave stocks mixed NEW YORK (AP) – Mixed economic reports held the stock market to only modest moves Friday but gains for the week were strong. Uneven figures on retail sales and consumer confidence gave investors little new insight into the economy. The reports weren’t enough to propel the market higher a day after the Standard & Poor’s 500 index closed at its highest level in 17 months. That index slipped Friday, but the Dow Jones industrial average tacked on nearly 13 points. Major stock indicators climbed for the week after investors grew more upbeat about the health of banks. Shares of Citigroup Inc. rose 13.4 percent for the week. Stocks had been modestly higher at the start of trading Friday after a surprising increase in February retail sales. The Commerce Department said retail sales rose 0.3 percent last month. Analysts had expected a drop. A weaker report on consumer sentiment disappointed traders. The preliminary Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment index for March fell to 72.5 from 73.6 in late February. Investors also were displeased with the Commerce Department’s report that inventories were unchanged. Economists had forecast an increase. Analysts are hoping that businesses will restock store shelves on a consistent basis.

California prosecutor sues Toyota over defects SANTA ANA, Calif. – The Orange County district attorney has filed a lawsuit against Toyota Motor Corp., accusing the automaker of knowingly selling hundreds of thousands of vehicles with acceleration defects. District Attorney Tony Rackauckas said at a news conference Friday that his office has the right to bring consumer protective action on behalf of Orange County residents. Orange County’s lawsuit accuses Toyota of using deceptive business practices to become the world’s top automaker. The suit seeks civil penalties of $2,500 per violation under the Unfair Business Practices Act, along with the recovery of attorney fees and investigative costs.

Court OKs TV rules opposed by cable companies WASHINGTON – A federal court Friday upheld regulations that require cable TV companies to make sports programming and other channels they own available on equal terms to rival TV providers such as satellite companies. The ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia leaves in place the Federal Communications Commission “program access” rules. The rules require Comcast Corp., for instance, to make channels that it owns – including E! Entertainment, Versus and the Golf Channel – available to rivals such as DirecTV Inc., Dish Network Corp., AT&T Inc.’s UVerse video service and Verizon’s FiOS video service.

Mortgage plan aids 16 percent of borrowers WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration’s mortgage relief plan has helped only about 16 percent of borrowers who signed up since its launch last year, while hundreds of thousands of homeowners remain in limbo. The Treasury Department says that as of last month, about 170,000 homeowners had completed the application process and had their loan payments reduced permanently. That compares with nearly 1.1 million homeowners who have enrolled since the plan started. The program is designed to lower borrow-

ers’ monthly payments by reducing mortgage rates to as low as 2 percent for five years and extending loan terms to as long as 40 years. To complete the process, homeowners need to make three payments and provide proof of their income, plus a letter documenting their financial hardship. About 90,000 homeowners have dropped out so far. Homeowners in two California metro areas – Los Angeles and Riverside – have received the most help, with a combined 18,000 homeowners receiving permanent modifications.

Brown, Sarkozy accuse US of ’protectionism’ LONDON – The French and British leaders accused the U.S. of protectionism on Friday over a contract to build a new Air Force refueling tanker. A European-led consortium pulled out of bidding this week for the $35 billion contract, saying the Pentagon was favoring rival American bidder Boeing. “This is not the right way for the United States to treat its European allies,” French President Nicolas Sarkozy said. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he was disappointed with the situation. “We believe in free trade, we believe in open markets, we believe in open competition.”

Young veterans return to unemployment WASHINGTON (AP) – The unemployment rate last year for young Iraq and Afghanistan veterans hit 21.1 percent, the Labor Department said Friday, reflecting a tough obstacle combat veterans face as they make the transition home from war. The number was well above the 16.6 percent jobless rate for non-veterans of the same ages, 18 to 24. As of last year, 1.9 million veterans had deployed

Doctors hope to have Mrs. Reid up and walking in the next day or two, Franco said. Her daughter, Lana Barringer, 49, suffered relatively minor injuries and was released from the hospital Thursday night. Virginia State Police said Mrs. Reid and her

daughter were traveling northbound on I-95 near Washington in stop-andgo traffic Thursday when their Honda Odyssey was rear-ended by a tractortrailer loaded with rolls of plastic. The impact forced the Reid family’s minivan to rear-end a Jeep Grand Cherokee, which in turn struck a Chevrolet Cobalt. The driver of the tractor-trailer, Alan W. Snader, 59, of Ohio, was charged with reckless driving, police said. He was not injured. All involved were wearing seat belts, police said.

Autopsy: Washington girl was strangled WENATCHEE, Wash. – Authorities say a central Washington high school student whose body was found along the Columbia River four days after she went missing was killed by manual strangulation and a stab wound to the neck. The death certificate from the Chelan-Douglas Health District says an autopsy found that blunt impact to the head was also a significant factor in Mackenzie Cowell’s death.

NYPD: Bar beating suspect in custody NEW YORK – Police in New York say they have a man in custody suspected of brutally beating a woman in a bar restroom after she rejected his advances. Police spokesman Paul Browne on Friday confirmed that a man seen in a video walking down the sidewalk after the attack was in custody, but declined further details. Authorities say the attack occurred early Thursday.

Man waits 5 months, collects $200M prize HARRISONBURG, Va. – For five months, Virginia carpenter Steve Williams lived with a secret worth millions.

Police block the intersection at the scene where a man wrapped in duct tape made threats and walked around with a pipe taped to his arm before surrendering in Seattle on Friday.

Seattle police detain ‘vampire’ wearing pipe SEATTLE (AP) – A man wearing what appeared to be a pipe bomb was kicked out of a Seattle homeless shelter Friday morning after claiming to be a vampire, then wandered around before surrendering to police, authorities and witnesses said. The contraption did not turn out to be a real explosive device, Seattle police said Friday afternoon, although it was treated like a bomb at the time because as police spokesman Mark Jamieson said, it looked “real enough.” A photograph of the device posted on the police Web site shows a tapewrapped metal pipe with metal end caps and bits of plastic debris attached. Jamieson said the device appeared to have a wire attached.

The man, whose name was not released, complied with officers who rushed to the scene and voluntarily removed the suspicious device, Jamieson said. The 33-year-old man, dressed in black, was taken into custody for questioning. Police said they planned to book him into the King County jail for making “threats to bomb.” Employees at a nearby men’s shelter alerted police after the man walked into the shelter, said he was a vampire and wanted to eat people, a police report said. After the staff refused to serve him and asked him to leave, the man said he was a space cowboy and showed the staff what appeared to be a pipe bomb taped to his wrist. He then threatened to blow up

Report: Woods’ responders suspected domestic spat ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – The ambulance crew that responded after Tiger Woods crashed his SUV would not allow his wife to ride with him to the hospital because they suspected domestic violence, documents released Friday by the Florida High-

way Patrol show. But a police officer who responded said he Woods didn’t know where the crew got that information

because he never heard it from anyone at the scene. The reports also showed Woods’ wife, Elin, turned over two bottles of pain pills to troopers after the Nov. 27 crash outside the couple’s suburban Orlando home. Woods crashed his

sport utility vehicle into a fire hydrant at 2:30 a.m., and officers found him lying in the street. The couple told investigators Elin Woods smashed the back window of the SUV with a golf club so she could unlock a door and pull him out.

Probe: Terror suspect worked at 5 nuke sites BUENA, N.J. (AP) – Federal regulators say a U.S. citizen in custody in Yemen as a suspected al-Qaida member worked at five nuclear plant complexes in Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says it’s investigating what access Sharif Mobley might have had to senstive areas.

But the commission says laborers like him would not usually be given security-related or sensitive information. Authorities say he Mobley passed federal background checks. The 26-year-old Mobley worked

at the Salem and Hope Creek plants in New Jersey; the Peach Bottom, Limerick and Three Mile Island facilities in Pennsylvania; and Calvert Cliffs in Maryland between 2002 and 2008. Officials say he was rounded up in an al-Qaida sweep and shot two guards in a Yemeni hospital during an escape attempt.

Democrats seek accord, quick vote on health bill WASHINGTON (AP) – Under White House pressure to act swiftly, House and Senate Democratic leaders reached for agreement Friday on President Barack Obama’s health care bill, sweetened suddenly by fresh billions for student aid and a sense that breakthroughs are at hand. “It won’t be long,” before lawmakers vote, predicted Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She said neither liberals’ disappointment over the lack of a government health care option nor a traditional Pelosi mistrust of the Senate would prevent passage in the House. At the White House, officials worked to maximize Obama’s influence over lawmakers who control the fate of legislation that has spawned a yearlong struggle. They said he would delay his departure on an Asian trip for three days – until March 21 – and he will go to Ohio next week for a campaign-style pitch for his health care proposals. The delay gives congressional leaders muchneeded breathing room to finish the legislation and nail down support from wavering lawmakers. “I’m delighted that the president will be here for the passage of the bill; it’s going to be historic,” said Pelosi, D-Calif. – though there’s no guarantee the House can act by then.

Authorities: No illegal drugs found in Haim case LOS ANGELES (AP) – Authorities said Friday they had recovered four prescription drug bottles bearing the name of actor Corey Haim but found nothing illegal while investigating his death. Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter declined to identify the drugs. Haim was battling flulike symptoms in the days before he died. Winter said an autopsy was done Thursday, but his office was awaiting the results of toxicology tests that could take two months before determining a cause of death. Haim died Wednesday at age 38 after collapsing at his mother’s apartment. The actor battled drug addiction for years. He earned fame for roles in the 1980s films “Lucas” and “The Lost Boys.” He recently completed several film projects. “Access Hollywood” reported on its Web site that Judy Haim had been told by the coroner’s office that her son had an enlarged heart and his lungs were filled with water. Winter confirmed his office had called Judy Haim, but he declined to say what they discussed.

Cadillac launches first U.S.-built wagon ANN M. JOB THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NUTS & BOLTS

–

Station wagons have been passe in the United States for years, but this didn’t stop Cadillac from launching its first U.S.built wagon. The 2010 CTS Wagon is a nicely sized, comfortable, five-passenger car with cargo space that’s easier to reach than that of a sport utility vehicle. The CTS Wagon also is arguably the most striking station wagon on the market, with sharp creases in its sheet metal, stylized, eye-catching vertical tail-lamps, and a recognizable Cadillac look. But no one seems to notice this wagon when it passes by on the street. Not a single person took a second glance at the test car or asked about it – perhaps because from the front, it looks so similar to the CTS sedan that has been on the market for years. Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, with destination charge, is $39,090 for a base CTS Wagon with 270-horsepower, 3-liter V-6 and automatic transmission. A base, all-wheel drive version starts at $40,990. The CTS Wagon also is

The 2010 Cadillac CTS Wagon is a nicely sized, comfortable, five-passenger car with user-friendly cargo space. offered in rear- and allwheel drive with an uplevel 304-horsepower, 3.6liter V-6 and automatic transmission. Starting retail price for the more powerful CTS Wagon is $44,190. In comparison, the 2010 A6 Avant starts at $54,135 with 300-horsepower, supercharged V-6 and standard all-wheel drive, while the front-wheel drive 2010 Volvo V70 starts at $34,400 and has a 235-horsepower six cylinder. The timing for a sta-

tion wagon from Cadillac is odd, but company officials have said they hope to capitalize on buyers who are moving away from fuel-hungry SUVs. The CTS qualifies as an SUV substitute for several reasons, but not necessarily in fuel economy. The test CTS Wagon with 3.6-liter direct injection V-6 was rated at 18 miles per gallon in the city and 26 mpg on the highway, which is not much better than the same federal government

rating for the 2010 Lexus RX 350. In fact, many SUVs have higher ratings. At least the CTS wagon engines only need regular gas, not pricey premium. Power is strong. This is the same double overhead cam engine, with variable valve timing, that’s in the sporty Chevrolet Camaro – parent company General Motors owns both Cadillac and Chevrolet. Torque peaks at 273 foot-pounds at 5,200 rpm. With a gasoline tank

carrying 18 gallons, this means a range of just 340 city and highway miles combined, which is not great. Still, the CTS Wagon is nimble and doesn’t feel as cumbersome as some SUVs, despite the CTS Wagon’s weight of more than 4,200 pounds. With summer tires, which were part of a more than $2,000 option package on the tester, the car clung to the pavement, and the handling was excellent for zippy drives

2010 Cadillac CTS 3.6 Sport Wagon BASE PRICE: $38,265 for base, rear-wheel drive model; $40,165 for base, all-wheel drive model; $43,365 for rear-drive model with 3.6-liter V-6 AS TESTED: $51,935 TYPE: Front-engine, rear-wheel drive, fivepassenger wagon ENGINE: 3.6-liter, double overhead cam, direct injection V-6 with VVT MILEAGE: 18 mpg (city), 26 mpg (highway) TOP SPEED: 146 mph LENGTH: 191.3 inches WHEELBASE: 113.4 inches CURB WEIGHT: 4,210 pounds BUILT AT: Lansing, Mich.

in the country and in the mountains. I liked that the wagon rode lower to the pavement than an SUV during these drives, because I didn’t feel big body motions in the curves. But the flip side was I didn’t see much of the road ahead when I was behind taller vans, trucks and SUVs.

Don’t wait to take advantage of tax credit I

am sure that so many of you have consistently heard about the tax credits that are available for first-time homebuyers and for current homeowners as well. Well, you would be surprised at how many people have either not heard about it or are just simply unsure as to whether they are eligible. In fact, just this week, I was working with a buyer who had been told by a relative that she would not receive any money from the government, that it would only help to reduce her tax liability if she actually owed any. It sounded to me as if her relative was confusing the tax credit with a deduction, which it is not. I want to take this time to go over the importance and historic nature of the tax credits that are available. The first thing that I would like to reiterate is that the tax credits include not just first-time home-

buyers, but current homeowners as well. This has never before happened. When in our great history has the federal government given its citizens REAL ESTATE money to purchase a Ken home? I can’t think Wall of any other time ■■■ in history. To not take full advantage of these tax credits as well as the current low interest rates is like throwing money right out of your window. With the deadline to be under contract for a home and to obtain the credits looming around the corner, I am sure that many people are thinking “Oh, it will be extended again.” Why take the chance? There were many people who were given a second chance when the last extension came about. At this time, the federal government

Allred appointed to NCAR committee SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

ARCHDALE – Karen Allred, Broker/Owner of Allred & Co., Realtors in Archdale, has recently been appointed to serve another 3-year term on the Professional

Karen Allred will serve another 3-year term. Standards Committee of the North Carolina Association of Realtors. This committee promotes Realtor adherence to the Code of Ethics and maintains the Grievance

and Professional Standards hearing process. Members serve a 3-year term. Allred has served on this committee since 1999, with Allred the exception of one year. She has also served as a state director and on the Grievance Committee for NCAR as well as vice president of the High Point Regional Association of Realtors, treasurer and dDirector of the Realtors Commercial Alliance and a director for the High Point Regional Association of Realtors.

has given absolutely no indication that the tax credits will be extended. April 30th has been set as the day that all contracts must be “fully executed.” This means that all parties involved in the transaction must have agreed to terms and have signed the contract. If you are planning to use one of these great programs that are available, like the Down Payment Assistance and Renovation Funds from the city of High Point (NSP), make sure you give plenty of time for the city of High Point to do their part. Even if you are not using the city of High Point’s NSP, you may still decide to purchase a foreclosure and it often takes longer to negotiate with a bank than it would with an individual owner. Once the negotiations are complete, we have seen it take up to two weeks for the bank to get the “fully executed contract” back to the buyer so they can complete the lending process. So as you can see, you are much

better off starting your home buying process now, instead of waiting until the last minute. If you don’t start the process now, you may not only miss out on the possibility of up to an $8000 tax credit, but with the possibility of rising interest rates, you may also lose your dream home. Your local Realtor is knowledgeable about all of the programs currently available and can assist you in your search for your dream home. Please don’t wait, call your local Realtor today. 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.

Tips for value-conscious first-time homebuyers A

couple in their mid-20s – a registered nurse married to a truck mechanic – vowed to move from their cramped rental unit to a house of their own by taking advantage of the buyer’s market in their area and without spending more than necessary. “Buying a nice house within their budget was their highest priority,” recalls Tom Early, the long-time real estate broker who represented the pair. Early, a past president of the National Association of Exclusive Buyers Agents (www.naeba.org), helped the couple navigate the market to find just the sort of property they wanted for a rock-bottom price. For little more than the cost of rent for their apartment, the couple bought a pristinely kept tri-level house with all the primary features they’ve been seeking. “In the end, they spent $50,000 less than their mortgage lender would have let them. Yet they were thrilled with their choice,” Early says. Though many wannabe homeowners are still waiting on the sidelines for the economy to improve, others are trying to take advantage of market opportu-

nities while they’re still available. “Savvy buyers know this could be the chance of the lifetime to get a great deal on a house,” Early says. Here are some pointers for first-time buyers: SMART MOVES • Ask a mortgage lender to help define your spendEllen ing boundaries. Martin Real estate specialists ■■■ are nearly universal in their advice to homebuyers: find out your mortgage borrowing capability before heading out to look at property. That way you won’t get your heart set on a property way above your means. “Before they start kicking bricks, savvy buyers head for a lender’s office to get pre-approved. This means the lender will verify your income and assets and also check your credit history,” Early says. He advocates that you meet face-toface with a lender and spend enough time to ensure that all your questions are answered. When it’s over, the lender should also issue you a pre-ap-

proval letter that indicates your full borrowing capacity. “This is just a starting point. Obviously, you don’t have to go to your top limit,” Early says. • Do a household budget before you start looking at property. Prior to giving you a pre-approval letter, your lender will review your income statements and also go over your ongoing obligations, such as payments on your credit cards and car loans. “In establishing your borrowing limits, the lender often doesn’t know the full picture. That’s why I recommend you sharpen your pencil and create a serious spending plan for yourself,” Early says. Novice buyers should take into account the expenses they’ll inwevitably face to get any property they buy into move-in condition, such as paint or new carpet. Also, remember to include your carrying costs going forward, such as utility bills. • Insist on a fixed-rate mortgage rather than a variable one. Fred Meyer, a consumer advocate and

real estate company owner who sells properties around Cambridge, Mass., says there are few instances that justify a first-time buyer taking an adjustablerate mortgage. Granted, many first-timers see that initial property as a stepping stone to a fancier home. They intend to stick around no longer than five years and then move to a larger place. That would seem to justify taking an ARM with a low introductory rate that can’t adjust upward for several years. But, “your plans could easily change. For instance, a job you thought of as temporary could easily become a long- term position, causing you to stay in the house years beyond your expectation,” Meyer says, adding that “a fixed- rate mortgage, which guarantees that your principle and interest stays constant for the life of the loan, is one of life’s great pleasures.” • Keep resale in mind when buying your first home. No matter how long you plan to stay in your first place, Early says it’s smart to pick out a property that should be easy to resell when it’s your turn to liquidate.

Home sales event benefits Habitat for Humanity SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

WINSTON-SALEM – BB&T Corporation (NYSE: BBT) and The Atlas Companies announced that Habitat for Humanity will be the beneficiary of the unique home sales event, “Score Your Home,” scheduled for March 2021 and March 27-28 across the Triad. “Score Your Home,” a twoweekend schedule of open houses, will feature 10 new communities in Forsyth, Guilford and Alamance counties. In conjunction with area real estate agencies Ed Price & Asso-

ciates, Coldwell Banker Triad, RE/MAX, Lewis & Clark and Allen Tate, the organizations will host basketball conference-themed open houses in the neighborhoods each weekend from 1 p.m. – 5 p.m. daily. For every home sold during the event, BB&T will make a donation to the Habitat affiliate where the home is located. Additional funds will be raised through a raffle awarding one lucky winner a decorative exterior lighting package for their home. Proceeds will go to the local Habitat affiliates in Alamance and Forsyth counties as

well as to those in Greensboro and High Point. “Habitat has a long history of making affordable homes possible and we are proud to offer our financial support to help strengthen neighborhoods across the communities we serve,” said T. Shane Shuler, a BB&T commercial real estate development officer. “‘Score Your Home’ is a wonderful opportunity for families to investigate new residential properties within their own communities,” said Robin S. Wintringham, executive director Habitat for Humanity of Al-

amance County, N.C., Inc. “The event will offer an extra special advantage with the donations that BB&T makes to local Habitat affiliates for each home sold during these two weekends. ‘Score Your Home’ will be a real boon for the local building market, both the for-profit and non-profit sectors.” Homebuyers will also benefit from the “Score Your Home” sales weekend. The neighborhoods offer a wide selection of price points as well as building lots, condos, townhomes and new homes. BB&T and Atlas are offering savings and

practical incentives that are only available during these two weekends.
