HIGH POINT – Times were tough in 2009, but there were some things to be celebrated, according to the recently released High Point Economic Development Corp.’s 2009 annual report. Titled, “Celebrating successes, Tackling challenges, Investing in our future,” the report reveals 1,405 new jobs were announced in High Point last year, down from 2,167 in 2008. Harland Clarke, a check manufacturing facility that relocated from Greensboro, brought 350 jobs alone to the city late last summer. The relocation and grand opening of the facility was one of the city’s proudest moments in 2009, said Loren Hill, EDC president. Hill also acknowledges that the year was tough on other industries, including new construction. Permits valued at $175.2 million were issued in 2007 for new commercial projects and expansions. The figure dropped to $158.1 million in 2008 and took a drastic dive to $36.7 million last year. “We had to acknowledge that things were tough,” he said. “This year’s report talks about the challenges that the region and the nation has. In the midst of these challenges, we had good news.”

Randolph County

The report documents 16 major projects that the EDC focused on last year, including the Harland Clarke facility, named Project of the Year. The company encompasses a 135,000-square-foot space at 4475 Premier Drive. In six months, it went from having no presence in High Point to being its 20th largest employer, according to the report. Other major projects included the Sears Prod-

uct Services Marketing Center, which relocated to Oak Hollow Mall, and Schnadig International, which opened its corporate headquarters in High Point and established 70 new jobs. The largest employer and the largest taxpayer in the city were unchanged from 2008 with Bank of America and International Home Furnishings Center, respectively. Other aspects that aren’t

shown in the report itself include several cost-cutting efforts from the EDC office. The report will not be mailed out this year in order to save postage costs, Hill said. Instead, members of the public can stop by City Hall at 211 S. Hamilton St., where the EDC office is located, to pick up a copy. It also can be viewed online at www. highpointedc.com. For the third consecutive year, the Greensboro/

HIGH POINT – Presbyterian Homes Inc. will seek High Point City Council approval today for plans to add a corporate office facility. A public hearing on two requests from the nonprofit organization to amend a conditional use permit is on the council’s meeting agenda. Presbyterian Homes plans to build a management services office on Sandy Ridge Road for management, accounting, de-

velopment and human resources personnel who work for the retirement communities it operates. The proposed building will be 5,300 square feet for 11 employees, with the possibility of three additional office spaces. Presbyterian Homes wants to amend current regulations to allow for office uses on its property. It’s also offered to add conditions to ensure computability with surrounding residential uses. The building would be subject to setback and architectural design standards, would be limited to

40 feet in height and could have a maximum footprint of 7,000 square feet. The requests received unanimous recommendations for approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission last month. The council also is scheduled to consider renewing the city’s contract with The Ferguson Group, a Washington, D.C., lobbying firm, to assist in securing federal funds and related legislative matters of interest. No increase in the firm’s current fee to the city of $10,000 per month is proposed.

High Point region earned top 10 national ranking by Site Selection magazine. The EDC report serves as an informational piece to the public but also a marketing piece for prospective companies, Hill said. “It’s a very intense process putting it together,” he said. “In the nine years I’ve been here, it’s paid off to invest that time and effort.”

Sanford joins race for Google

Stories we couldn’t have told FROM PAGE 1

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

SANFORD – Some cities are changing their names. Others are sending their mayors into frozen lakes. They’re joining hundreds of others – metropolis to farm town – in the race to see who can attract Google’s experimental fiber-optic network, one that promises to be more than 100 times faster than the Internet service they’re used to. And while it’s not promising to be “Google, N.C.” any time soon, Sanford has joined the mix, thanks to an effort led by the Chamber of Commerce and supported by city, county and school officials, as well as a few local business leaders. Sanford has until March 26 to turn in a detailed application and any other supporting materials (such as video) that may catch the Internet giant’s eye. “If we got it, it would be an unbelievable promotional opportunity,” Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce President Bob Joyce said Tuesday. “Google is a brand name on the level of Coca-Cola. It would be worldwide recognition for us if we were chosen. So it’s definitely worth a shot.” A shot, certainly ... but a long shot. According to published reports, hundreds of cities and thousands of citizens in those cities have sent off nominations and applications. Google won’t say how many cities it will choose.

Drop in sales lightens for CVB Marva Wells, sole sales manager for the CVB after a fellow sales manager left last summer and wasn’t replaced, said convention and exposition leads issued by the public via the “Bring It Home, High Point” initiative were pouring in. Six events were booked in February, and the CVB discovered five of those events from the campaign, she said. The campaign encourages residents to report any conventions they may attend outside of the city to give local tourism officials the chance to recruit them to come here. The CVB also booked a new group, the Piedmont Chapter of Women in Construction Convention, last month for April 27-30, 2012. Three leads were issued in February, including a lead for the Renaissance Fitness annual INBF Natural Atlantic Coast Competition that was held in the city last summer. Due to a recent trend of

HIGH POINT – The sting of decreasing tourism sales may have slightly eased in February, tourism officials say. Last month’s sales were down 19 percent at $59,765 from February 2009 when $73,572 was collected, according to the High Point Convention and Visitors Bureau, which met on Wednesday. The loss fares better than drops the CVB experienced in recent months, including about a $16,000 loss in January and a $30,000 loss in December, said treasurer Chris Greene. “This is the first time in three months where we are in a little better position than we were,” Greene said. “It has been a serious situation.” The CVB, funded by the city’s hotel occupancy room tax, is down 15 percent for its total income from the same time last year.

organizations shortening or canceling conventions because of a lack of attendees, the N.C. Church of God Prophecy canceled its 2010 Youth Conference that is usually held in the city. The event brought about 350 attendees to High Point. “This group had to cancel because they didn’t have enough interested participants,” Wells said. Relaunching the campaign has brought new business and leads to the CVB, but more leads are needed to improve sales, she said. Elaine Darr, former visitors center and information manager at the CVB, was recognized at the meeting for her recent retirement after working at the organization for 16 years. Her position also will not be replaced. “We’re now down two positions, and we’ve made some adjustments,” Greene added. “It’s because of these adjustments we have survived.”

Man finds cold intruder in bed with him PITTSBURGH (AP) – Police say a man broke into a Pittsburgh home and climbed into bed with its owner, apparently because he was drunk and cold following a rap concert. Homeowner Frank Fontana says he was in bed when the man climbed

in about 5:30 Wednesday morning. Fontana says he asked whether it was a woman who has keys to his home – and he grabbed a baseball bat when a deep male voice answered, “No, it’s not.” Police say Fontana kept the man at bay until police arrived but didn’t hit

ment officers. Information on the case, when public officials were saying little, came through requests for the 911 tapes in the confrontation. • When a High Point University basketball player was suspended from the men’s team earlier this year, the Enterprise flushed out details through law enforcement records when university officials provided few specifics. The impact of public records isn’t limited to law enforcement cases. The Enterprise was able to report details on important developments with three major furniture showrooms in part because of access to civil court records and federal securities filings. • Public documents in Guilford County Superior Court offered insight into the ongoing case between Merchandise Mart Properties Inc., which runs Market Square and other High Point Market showrooms, and former executive Tom Mitchell, now president of the International Home Furnishings Center. Merchandise Mart Properties sued Mitchell last summer for breach of contract, arguing that he used proprietary information Mitchell gained during 10 years with Merchandise Mart Properties to lure tenants to the IHFC. Mitchell has denied the accusations in court. • County court documents provided details last year when the showroom complex Showplace entered receivership. The court documents indi-

cated that the banks owed money from the owners of Showplace deemed their loans in default, and a Superior Court judge appointed a receiver to run Showplace. Other sources for documents come into play when tracking the status of important local businesses. • Earlier this year, the Enterprise reported on declining revenues for the IHFC, the High Point Market’s largest showroom. The report came about because one of the co-owners of IHFC, Bassett Furniture Industries Inc., had to report the IHFC revenue data through federal Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations. • In another instance earlier this month, the Enterprise was able to report on the parent company of Merchandise Mart Properties, Vornado Realty Trust, seeking to restructure the debt on its High Point showrooms because of a SEC filing. A leader with the N.C. Press Association said public records often provide the public, through media reports, with insight into important topics and possible malfeasance. “Public records are often the only key the public has to unlock doors hiding bad behavior, poor decision-making and outright law-breaking among those trusted with running the government,” said Beth Grace, executive director of the Raleigh-based association.

Landmark exoneration almost never happened RALEIGH (AP) – Nearly two years ago, North Carolina’s groundbreaking innocence panel received the evidence it needed to free a man who spent 16 years in prison after he was wrongly convicted of murdering a prostitute. Yet he stayed behind bars while commission investigators overlooked the evidence. Uncovering it took a chance brainstorm by a defense lawyer, repeated questioning of a crime lab investigator and a nudge from an unlikely source — the prosecutor who sent the man to prison. Last month, Greg Taylor was the first person to be exonerated by the 3-year-old North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission, a landmark for the only staterun agency in the country dedicated to proving a convicted person’s innocence. The handling of the crucial blood test, however, has prompted a sweeping

review of how the state runs its crime lab and shows just what kinds of kinks the panel has to work out as it goes about seeking to free the innocent. The jurist who came up with the commission thinks the panel should overhaul its personnel. “It was a very horrendous oversight,� said former state Chief Justice I. Beverly Lake Jr., who formed a coalition in 2002 that recommended the panel’s creation. “It’s very definitely a critical failure on the part of whoever had that information.� Taylor, who has maintained his innocence, agreed Tuesday to allow Raleigh police to perform DNA tests on the clothes he wore at the time Jacquetta Thomas was killed in September 1991, saying the tests will add more proof of his innocence. Raleigh police said Wednesday they are not disputing Taylor’s innocence but want to test all evidence.

Traffic stop leads to numerous charges BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A High Point man faces several charges after a traffic stop by Davidson County sheriff’s deputies. The sheriff’s Interstate Criminal Enforcement Unit stopped a 2002 Dodge Stratus on Interstate 85 south Tuesday outside Lexington on suspicion of displaying a stolen license plate. The car was driven by James Benjamin Walters, 37, of Marlboro Street, High Point, and a check by deputies revealed the plate was stolen from a van belonging to J.C. Green & Sons Funeral Home in Thomasville, according to the sheriff’s office. Deputies conducted a check of Walters through the National Crime Information Center database and found he was wanted by authorities in South Carolina for a suspected probation violation and had been listed as a fugitive, authorities said. A local warrant check

found that Walters was wanted in Randolph County, where authorities accused him of being behind $21,392 in child support payments, according to the sheriff’s office. Deputies found that a failure-to-appear warrant had been issued out of Randolph for the alleged child-support violation. Upon further investigation, deputies checked the van’s vehicle identification number through NCIC and discovered the vehicle had been reported stolen from Auto Center Inc. in Thomasville, according to the sheriff’s office. Walters was arrested and held on a $250,000 bond after being served with the fugitive warrant from South Carolina. He also was charged with driving while license revoked, possession of stolen property and possession of a stolen vehicle and assessed bonds totalling $10,000 for those charges, according to the sheriff’s office.

Israel lifts West Bank closure

Iraqi prime minister back in the lead BAGHDAD (AP) – The Iraqi prime minister’s coalition has retaken the lead from his secular challenger in a preliminary tally of votes in Iraq’s parliamentary elections, the country’s election commission said Wednesday. Partial results based on 83 percent of the ballots from the March 7 voting gave Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s group an edge over his rival in what has been a very tight race. Al-Maliki’s State of Law now has about 40,000 more votes than the Iraqiya bloc, led by former

the lockdown, Israel still kept thousands of police officers on alert as an uneasy calm settled over the holy city. The recent violence has taken place against a backdrop of deep Palestinian frustration over a yearlong standstill in peace talks.

Three people were arrested in the town of Constanti, in Spain’s Catalonia region, two of whom collected the ransom in Paris, national police said. The other two arrests were made in Paris, police said. The child, Sahil Saeed, was released Tuesday.

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico – Elodia Ortiz drops her children at school in the morning, picks them up in the afternoon and makes an occasional trip to the supermarket. Anything else, she says, is too dangerous. Parents in Ciudad Juarez, just across the border from El Paso, Texas, are afraid to venture into the streets amid a turf war between two powerful drug cartels that has left more than 4,500 people dead during the past two years.

Kyrgyzstan unveils US military base plan BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan – Officials in the impoverished Central Asian nation of Kyrgyzstan say the United States plans to build a $5 million military base for training local troops to assist in the fight against international terrorism. Kyrgyzstan already hosts a U.S. base in Manas, outside the capital Bishkek, used by Washington as a regional hub for the war in nearby Afghanistan.

Protesters vow to stay in Thai capital BANGKOK – Anti-government demonstrators vowed Wednesday to extend their protest in the Thai capital indefinitely, after taking their attention-grabbing tactic of pouring bottles of their own blood to the prime minister’s home. Leaders of the Red Shirt protesters, who want Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to call new elections, said they would scale back the size of the demonstration they began Sunday in order to conserve energy and resources.

Health reform bill gains ground; weekend vote likely WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama’s sweeping health care legislation won precious support from a longtime liberal holdout in the House on Wednesday and from Catholic nuns representing dozens of religious orders, gaining fresh traction in the run-up to a climactic weekend vote. “It’s a good Kucinich sign,� said Obama, two weeks after taking personal command of a campaign to enact legislation in what has become a virtual vote of confidence in his still-young presidency. After days of secretive meetings, Democratic officials said they hoped to release the wording of the final legislation within hours, pending final cost and deficit-reduction estimates from the Congressional Budget Office. The long-anticipated measure is actually the second of two bills that Obama hopes lawmakers will send him in coming days, more than a year after he urged Congress to remake the nation’s health care system. The

Senate OKs jobs bill for Obama’s signature WASHINGTON (AP) – Companies that hire unemployed workers will get a temporary payroll tax holiday under a bill that easily won congressional approval Wednesday in what Democrats hope is just the first of several election-year measures aimed at boosting hiring. The 68-29 bipartisan vote in the Senate sent the legislation to the White House, where President Barack Obama was expected to sign it into law today. Eleven Republicans voted for the legislation, an impressive tally considering the politically charged atmosphere on Capitol Hill. It was the first of several jobs bills promised by Democrats, though there’s plenty of skepticism that the measure will do much to actually create jobs. Optimistic estimates predict the tax break could generate perhaps 250,000 jobs through the end of the year, but that would be just a tiny fraction of the 8.4 million jobs lost since the start of the recession. The measure is part of a campaign by Democrats to show that they are addressing the nation’s unemployment problem, but that message was overshadowed by Congress’ feverish final push to pass health care overhaul legislation by this weekend.

THOMAS SOWELL: Is Obama spending plan a stimulus or a sedative? TOMORROW

One shepherd should stay, another should go A shepherd has a tough job, it’s really a calling. He has to keep the flock going in the same direction, finding fresh fields of grass with plenty of water. When one of his flock gets caught up in briars, he helps it out. When a few go astray, he looks for them and brings them back into the fold. For the sick and maimed, he becomes their veterinarian. He does this by day; by night he keeps vigil to hold the wolves and thieves away. That is what a good shepherd does. If he does this well, the flock does well. This year, we send two shepherds to watch out for us in Washington. As they are incumbents, we have the ability to judge how well they have cared for the flock. I have to admit, I don’t agree with half of what Rep. Howard Coble does, but he is the Good Shepherd here. He has done a good job looking out for veterans, fostering new technology/business and gives support to the regular guy when asked. His most brilliant day was when he stood up for our soldiers and told Washington to

A QUICK THOUGHT

Founded in 1885

School board chairman and members representing the greater High Point area:

Easy does it with ABC reform n light of recent indiscretions by officials of local Alcoholic Beverage Control boards in Charlotte and Wilmington, some people in North Carolina have begun calling for changes in the way “strong drink” is sold across the state. Some are advocating privatizing the staterun ABC system and the sale of its alcoholic beverages, much the way beer and wine are sold in the local convenience store. Then there are those clamoring for a number of revisions to the statewide system, including limiting the operation of local ABC systems to one per county. Gov. Bev Perdue has joined the chorus and has asked the Legislature to determine the value of the current system and to consider a legislative study of possible reforms and oversight measures. It seems that a legislative study of the current system and some of the suggested revisions to it or even total privatization of it would be worth the effort. It would take revelations of some very serious flaws and corruption in the current system to convince us that privatization of the state and local ABC systems would be the way go. However, there well may be room for tightening of the state system’s management, more oversight by the public and state and local governments and standardization of operating regulations for the local boards in the counties and cities. But if Perdue is interested in placing values on the current system, she can start here with $2 million. That’s the amount of profit High Point ABC officials expect to give the city during the next three years, or nearly $700,000 a year. That’s almost a penny on the city property tax rate per year.

hree little words. That’s what keeps bringing us back to this intersection of low comedy and pathos. Three words, none longer than three letters – and yet, some of us still find them nearly impossible to say. Three words: I am gay. If he’d been able to say those words, who knows what Roy Ashburn might be today? But we already know what his “inability” has made him: an object of ridicule. Ashburn is a Republican state senator in California. He has always been rather reliably anti-gay in his law making, voting against virtually every gay-friendly piece of legislation from marriage equality to a simple motion to set aside a day in honor of Harvey Milk, a gay political icon who was assassinated in 1978. So naturally, we’re all shocked – shocked, I tell you, “shocked!” – to learn that Ashburn himself is gay. This revelation came after he was arrested for drunken driving earlier this month. Turns out he’d done his drinking at a gay bar. “I am gay,” he told a conservative radio host. As for his anti-gay record? He said he was just following the wishes of the people he served. Because who wants a leader who thinks for himself? Then there’s Eric Massa, a now former Democratic representative from New York. He stands accused of sexual harassment by a number of his male staffers who claim he groped them. It has since come to light that he faced similar accusations two decades ago when he was in the Navy. Massa who, according to the Washington Post, shares a townhouse with several unmarried male staffers, still declines to speak the three little words, but he confirmed the latest charges in a bizarre interview with Glenn Beck on Fox News. He also tried to portray it as non-sexual. “Not only did I grope a male staffer, I tickled him until he couldn’t breathe and then four guys jumped on top of me. It was my 50th birthday.” Oh. Well, that explains it, right? When we turn 50, all us manly men like nothing better than to jump atop one another and tickle ourselves silly. Clint Eastwood, Bruce Willis, Alan Greenspan ... all the manly men do it. Sorry. As I said, low comedy. And pathos.

Because for all the laughter these men evoke with their lies to self and tortured rationalizations to us, I find I have also, hidden in the breath between ha and ha, a certain bittersweet pity. There’s just something ineffably “pathetic” in the OPINION inability of these middle-age men, in the Year Of Our Lord Leonard 2010, post-”Will & Grace,” post Pitts Ellen DeGeneres, post-Barney ■■■ Frank, Elton John, Meredith Baxter and Neil Patrick Harris, to simply stand up and say those three simple words. Perhaps that sounds judgmental. Perhaps it is. But if so, it is a judgment fueled by the cowardice and mendacity of those who lack the courage to be what they are, by anger at the hypocrisy of a Roy Ashburn willing to sell out his own for 40 shekels of political approval from those who would hate him if they only knew, and, ultimately, by the realization that we have been at this intersection too many times before. So you have to wonder: how many Massas and Ashburns, how many James Wests, Ted Haggards, Mark Foleys and Larry Craigs do we have to see, how many shocked spouses and embarrassed children do we have to endure, how many lies, alibis and justifications do we need to hear, before we accept the obvious: gay is not a choice, gay is not a sin, gay is not a shame. Gay simply is. And their inability to say, “I am gay,” doesn’t just speak poorly of gays and lesbians. Because if what we see here at the intersection of low comedy and pathos indicts certain of them for cowardice and mendacity, you could argue that it indicts the rest of us for much the same thing. After all, their inability to say what they are only reflects our inability to accept it. LEONARD PITTS JR., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

Union negotiations, decisions loom at Thomas Built Buses recent study from the Brookings Institution revealed that the Greensboro-High Point Statistical Area (Guilford, Rockingham and Randolph counties) realized an increase in the poverty index during the years of 20002008 of 3.5 percent, making it one of the worst in the country. In addition to this study, another report noted the increase in the use of food stamps, indication of an increase in hunger as well. Against this backdrop looms the expiration of the United Auto Workers/Thomas Built Buses labor agreement in October of this year. As an elected official of UAW Local 5287, it is my view that it is mandatory that the proper tone be set as we enter into preliminary discussions. First and foremost, there must be no concessions in terms of wages. The reason here is due to several issues that are germane to the tone. At the moment, we are in a lean manufacturing mode/con-

tinuous improvement which in essence is the elimination of manpower and increased workloads for the remaining workers, hence no recalls from layoff. Shortly before Christmas, we realized a windfall from management. That windfall was $400,000 plus in withheld wages by management. While the individual amounts varied, I am not aware of anyone refusing their checks, including those who continue to oppose the union. As matters stand, indeed there is a need for a new direction within the leadership. While harmonious labor managements are important, there is a danger wherein the union can be too easily manipulated or controlled wherein what you have is the appearance of a union rather than an actual union. As a result of this arrangement, we have an increased workloads, line speedups,

spike in on-the-job injuries with management’s continued flagrant violations of the workers compensation laws by their coercion of injured employees returning to work. It is against this reality that a new collective bargaining agreement must be realized. This will require individuals attuned to the social economic justice agenda. This means that new leadership of the local is necessary, leadership which understands the importance of inclusion rather than exclusion, nor practices the politics of racial polarization. Those who have been a part of a historical legacy of the impact of institutionalized racism yet who choose to be oblivious of its presence but yet go along to get along are not only intellectually dishonest but a disgrace and a traitor to the legacy of speaking truth to power.

t’s complicated! I’ve lived in High Point my whole life, and I don’t completely understand it.� This cautionary phrase from Charles Simmons, a lifelong student and promoter of High Point, also fittingly describes 2009’s recently released High Point Citizen Survey. The survey measures resident satisfaction with city life and services so officials can continually improve their effectiveness. Here’s what’s complicated. On the one hand, High Point citizens love living in High Point (81 percent satisfaction rate). They love raising their kids in High Point (73 percent satisfaction rate). They love the overall quality of life in High Point (70 percent satisfaction rate). And they love High Point city services, particularly the “overall quality of customer service� (74 percent satisfaction rate). However, on the other hand, only 56 percent of High Point respondents have a satisfactory “overall image of the city,� in contrast to a 68 percent national average among other cities surveyed. Why does High Point trail the national average by 12 percentage points in the “overall image of the city� category, when a majority of residents think so highly of living and raising their kids in High Point? According to this survey’s “Overall Perceptions of High Point� category, only one area scores lower than “High Point as a place to work� (51 percent satisfaction). That is “High Point as a place for play and leisure� (44 percent satisfaction). In a severe recession with county unemployment at 11.2 percent, anything lower than “High Point as a place to work� should grab our attention. In fact, “appearance� and “leisure� consistently register some of the lowest citizen satisfaction ratings, suggesting the below-average “overall image� rating is connected

to other citizen concerns about city appearance and leisure. A low leisure rating is particularly ironic since High OPINION Point used to be known historiElijah cally as a place Lovejoy of play and ■■■leisure, which people flocked to from across the country for hunting and health rehabilitation purposes. Currently however, citizens love where they live, where they raise their kids and the services they receive, but they find their options for play and leisure lacking. What can be done? Though I originally chose the name “Party on the Plank� for this summer’s six-week festival because I liked the catchy alliteration and the tie in to High Point’s historic Plank Road, I am increasingly convinced that a party is something High Point needs. Yes, I know parties can get out of hand, and no I’m not just talking about this summer’s six-week event. I’m talking about an attitude of joy, leisure, celebration and togetherness embodied in a party at its best. Jesus understood this when he performed his first miracle – water into wine – at a wedding party in Cana, thus cranking up the party by his act. And the Hebrews understood this in the oft repeated imagery of a banquet, feast or party to represent life in the kingdom of God. The ancients appreciated something we too often forget. A party has a virtue of its own, and not many people in High Point are going to complain if we have a few more. ELIJAH LOVEJOY is a local pastor and founder of Party on the Plank, a vision for cultural renewal in the heart of High Point. Visit the site at www. partyontheplank.com.

Photo shows a Toyota Prius after it was stopped with the help of a California Highway Patrol officer after the driver reported the vehicle’s accelerator became stuck.

Review finds 105 complaints about fixed Toyotas WASHINGTON (AP) – An analysis by The Associated Press finds that the government has received more than 100 complaints from drivers who say their recalled Toyotas are still accelerating on their own even after receiving the automaker’s fix. An AP review of unverified driver complaints found 105 such reports since Feb. 15.

That’s a 75 percent increase from the 60 reported earlier this month by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The safety agency says it’s investigating and has identified several instances in which dealers botched the repairs. Toyota, which has recalled more than 8 million cars and trucks since last fall, blames the problem

on floor mats that trap gas pedals or accelerators that become sticky in certain conditions. Meanwhile, investigators from Toyota and the U.S. government on Wednesday began inspecting a crashed 2005 Prius in a suburb of New York City to see if a black box-like device or its wreckage could point to problems with the brakes or accelerator.

CHICAGO (AP) – A woman feared she’d never see her young child again unless she complied with her husband’s scheme to sell her sexual services on Craigslist, authorities said Wednesday. After paid sexual encounters in eight states, the woman sought help by calling a national anti-sex trafficking hot line. Her desperate plea led to the arrest Sunday in Chicago of her husband.

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

TRIAD – Authorities in Davidson and Randolph counties will set up several drop-off locations for residents to dispose of any unused or outdated prescription medicine. The Denton, Lexington and Thomasville police departments, as well as the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office, are joining efforts with the Drug Enforcement Administration and the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation for Operation Medicine Drop. In Davidson County, the event will take place at seven locations 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office and the Asheboro Police Department will hold their campaign 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday at Lowes Foods on N. Fayetteville Street. Authorities say prescriptions can anonymously be dropped off. “We invite the citizens of Randolph County and surrounding areas to assist us in making our communities a safer place to live,” said Randolph County Sheriff’s Office Detective Edwin Carter, the department’s pharmaceutical diversion investigator. Carter said prescriptions should be dropped off in the original bottle that they were prescribed in if available. He said since the program is completely anonymous, the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office will have an area set up at the drop-off locations where residents can mark out their name, address and other personal information to protect their privacy. “We only ask that if you can leave the information identifying what the prescription is on the packaging or bottle.” Carter said. Operation Medicine Drop is a statewide prescription medication take-back program to prevent accidental poisonings and abuse.

DROP-OFF LOCATIONS

–

The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office will hold its drop-off 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday at Lowes Food, 372 N. Fayetteville St., Asheboro. Davidson County authorities will have their drop-off locations at seven different sites from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Those locations include the Wallburg Fire Department, 121 Georgetown Road, Winston-Salem; Tyro Fire Department, 4645 N.C. 150, Lexington; Southmont Fire Department, 11030 N.C. 8, Lexington; Denton Fire Department, 101 Newsom Ave., Denton; Arcadia Fire Department, 1374 Ruff Leonard Road; Lexington Fire Department Station 1, 200 E.

Business license program gains support BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – A proposal to implement a mandatory business privilege license program in Thomasville has gained some support. The Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce issued a statement Wednesday that announced the chamber’s board of directors voted unanimously earlier this month to support the privilege license as proposed. The statement was signed by Keith Tobin, the chamber’s chairman of the board, and Kathie Johnson, the chamber’s vice chairman of governmental advocacy. “Our message has always been

consistent,” the statement said. “We believe in the concept of a business registry or business license. We have always stressed the need for any fee to be simple and equitable. The current proposal is indeed that.” “We appreciate their support and the confidence that the board has shown in the council to do what we feel is right,” Councilman Raleigh York Jr., chairman of the city’s Personnel/Finance Committee, said of the chamber’s support. Earlier this month, the city’s Personnel/Finance Committee, composed of several City Council members, reached a consensus that they want to charge each business in Thomasville a flat fee

annually of $50. The committee revisited the proposed mandatory business privilege license program after it was tabled in 2008. More than a year ago, the council decided to table the proposal until it heard if the state was going to take over implementing business privilege programs among cities and counties. Thomasville officials have since learned state legislators have no plans on considering the issue in the upcoming short session, causing the council to revisit the matter during its retreat last month. City officials have said the fee would be used to pay for the cost of having the business privilege license program in Thomasville. The program is expected to gen-

erate $50,000, covering the cost for the city to hire one employee. City officials have discussed the possibility of hiring one employee to administer the program who would work jointly between the inspections and fire departments. At its last meeting, the Personnel/Finance Committee directed staff to rework the proposed ordinance based on the changes they recommended. A special-called Personnel/Finance Committee meeting has been scheduled for 9 a.m. Wednesday because the council would have to make a decision by May 1 if it wants to implement a program this year, York said. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

In this Friday, Feb. 26 photo, Master Sgt. Timothy Hennis leaves the Terry Sanford Federal Building and Courthouse after a federal hearing in Raleigh. The soldier who was acquitted of killing a mother and two of her young daughters in North Carolina more than 20 years ago is now going on trial in military court after new DNA tests linked him to the crimes.

Trial starts for NC soldier acquitted in 3 deaths FORT BRAGG (AP) – An Army prosecutor on Wednesday methodically laid out the case against a 51-year-old soldier recalled to active duty so he could be tried a third time in the death of a woman and her two daughters about 25 years ago. Capt. Nate Huff waited until the close of his halfhour presentation before explaining to the military jury that new DNA evidence had been found that indicated Master Sgt. Timothy Hennis had sex with Katie Eastburn. Eastburn, 31, and her 5-year-old and 3-year-old daughters, were killed at their Fayetteville home in 1985. Only Eastburn’s 22-month-old daughter, Jana, was left unharmed in her crib. The bodies were discovered days later by neighbors. Hennis’ defense attorney said prosecutors can’t account for who had control of the DNA sample for more than a decade and genetic material from a different, unidentified man was found on a bloody towel at the scene and under the fingernails of the mother and one of her daughters. “A DNA test itself does not say guilty,” Lt. Col. Kris Poppe said.

Grant targets breast cancer in black women MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

GREENSBORO – A $50,000 grant targeting African American women who live in low-income housing in Greensboro and High Point will provide breast cancer risk assessments and potentially free mammograms. Trained health advisers from the Piedmont Health Services and Sickle Cell Agency will knock on doors in the next six weeks in the fight against a disease that disproportionately kills African American women due to a lack of early detection.

Hennis, who had adopted the Eastburns’ dog several days before the killings, was arrested four days after the bodies were found when a witness who reported seeing someone in the Eastburns’ driveway late at night picked him out of a photo lineup. The DNA evidence was collected from a rape kit. Hennis was also acquitted of rape, but doesn’t face that charge because too much time has passed since that alleged crime occurred. Eastburn’s husband, Air Force Capt. Gary Eastburn, was in Alabama at squadron officers training school at the time of the killings. He was the first witness called by prosecutors, breaking down several times as he described the happy life he had with his family before they were killed. Under questioning by the defense, Eastburn said he and his wife were frightened by a mysterious, threatening call she received a few weeks before she was killed. Hennis was convicted in 1986 of the killings in civilian court and sentenced to death, but the state Supreme Court gave him a new trial, in part because the justices said the evidence was weak.

Greensboro to hire trash expert MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Hats that add up Victoria Robinson, More at Four teacher at School Street Elementary School in Goldsboro, assists Danata Parker with a hat made for St. Patrick’s Day. The hats were made as part of a math exercise, and students were to wear them the rest of the school day.

GREENSBORO – An expert consultant will be tapped to pick apart the city’s trash. City Council members agreed Tuesday night that the city should hire an independent specialist to review nine proposals for how Greensboro should handle its waste. It’s the first official decision the current City Council members, who began their terms in December, have made on the topic of trash disposal. And although they didn’t indicate whether, as a group, they wanted to take the controversial step of expanding the use of the city’s White Street Landfill, the decision is an

indication they don’t plan to drop the waste disposal debate. Earlier this month, nine companies submitted ideas for what to do with Greensboro trash in response to a request put out by the city under the last City Council. The proposals included expanding the current landfill, using alternative technologies or a combination of both. Tuesday night council members asked City Manager Rashad Young to hire consultant -- someone who would have no biases on the topic -- to provide an opinion on what option is best. “Of the nine requests, let’s focus on those nine and see what we can come up with,� Councilman Zack Matheny said.

Guilford courts tap into new statewide criminal database MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

GREENSBORO – Serving and filing criminal warrants in Guilford County is expected to be a smoother process after local courts linked into the state’s new online warrant repository on Wednesday. The system – called N.C. Aware – allows law enforcement officers, criminal magistrates, the clerk of courts and the district attorney’s offices

instant access to criminal warrants and summons statewide at the click of a mouse. Essentially, it eliminates much of the time and paperwork needed to access files, serve court papers, have suspects arrested and placed into jail. Plus, it ensures everyone accessing the documents online has the same information updated in real time. “It gives us instant access to (court) papers – we

can have them printed in the car and serve them almost immediately,� said Col. Randy Powers, chief deputy of the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office. “Before we would have to find out where a paper was issued, go to another agency (to pick up a paper or wait on a fax) while en route to the jail.� The system also allows officers access to any outstanding warrant, order for arrest or criminal summons statewide from their vehicle – including

all felonies and misdemeanors. Previously, officers could only view felony charges on a suspect that were entered into the National Crime Information Center. “There wasn’t a way for another agency (outside the county) to find out if there was a misdemeanor paper on someone,� said Anita McCoy, Public Safety IT Manager for the City of Greensboro. “Now you are going to get everything.�

Loved ones’ final wishes honor unique individuals

D

ear Abby: I’m writing to encourage “Wants to Do Right by Mama� (Jan. 25) to honor her mother’s final wishes regarding her burial attire and the position of her body. Several years ago, I sat down with my parents and we talked about their wishes for when they die. We discussed everything from the distribution of their assets to the type of funerals they want. I learned that my father would like a large tombstone, which is something I never knew, so I asked him to draw up exactly what he had in mind. Mom and Dad have already written their obituaries for the newspaper. Mom listed all the songs to be played at her service and the flowers she wants. We visited funeral homes, and discussed coffins and services, etc. Since then, they have changed their minds several times and have now decided they prefer cremation. Everything is written down and I sent copies to my brother, who lives out of town. Both of us want to respect our parents’ wishes. It wasn’t as difficult as we thought it would be, and when the time comes and everyone is emotionally spent, the arrangements will already be in place. – Jim in Chesterfield, Mo. Dear Jim: I congratulate you for having that important discussion with your parents. A number of readers com-

ADVICE

mented on that letter. Their remarks made me smile, so I’ll share. Read on:

Dear Abby: My father ■■■wanted to be buried without any clothes on and without his dentures. His reasoning was he came into the world naked and toothless, and he wanted to go out the same way. To my brother’s dismay, Daddy got his wish. He was, however, covered discreetly by a lovely blue sheet. – Missing Daddy Dear Abby

Dear Abby: My children know for a fact that if I’m ever unable to care for myself, they’ll have to pluck out my chin hairs. Whether I’m in a nursing home or in a coffin, if there are any coarse hairs sprouting from my chin, I’ll come back and haunt them. – Martha in Green Bay Dear Abby: When we buried my mother, Dad realized his burial plot next to hers would be so close to the road that visitors might drive over it or park on his grave. So he requested that when he was interred, a nail be placed in his fist so he could reach up and pop their tires. When he passed away last August, we gave him the largest nail we could find. – Daddy’s

Daughter Dear Abby: Our mother saved her favorite square dancing outfit for when the angels called her, and we honored her wishes when she passed away a few months ago at the age of 89. She was completely decked out in her dress, right down to the “full� slip, shoes and six-shooter earrings. We miss her terribly, but can’t help smiling when we think of her in her dress. – Did Right By Mama, Othello, Wash. Dear Abby: My great-grandma also requested that she be buried in her pajamas, but said she also wanted a fork placed in her hands. We could understand the pajamas – given the “long sleep� – but the fork had us stumped. She explained that when dishes were cleared after family dinners when she was growing up and dessert was on its way, her father would say, “Hold onto your fork, the best is yet to come!� We did as my greatgrandmother asked, and it helped those of us who were grieving to remember that she’s now enjoying her “just desserts.� – Holding Tight To My Fork, Sioux Falls, S.D.

Yesterday’s Bible question: For what reason did Jesus say that it was expedient that He go away?

ADHD can persist into adulthood

D

ear Dr. Donohue: My daughter has ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). I have no idea what it is. I understand she had it since she was a child. Can anything be done for her now? She’s in her late 40s. – Anon.

BLONDIE

Dear Dr. Donohue: Please tell me about ADHD. My granddaughter now lives with me while she goes to college. Her mother says her condition is under control. Is this a mental problem? I am 89 and very troubled. – J.C. ADHD didn’t get its name until the 1980s, so when you both were raising a family, you didn’t hear about it. It’s a brain disorder caused by an imbalance in the way brain chemicals affect information transfer from one brain cell to another. It’s not just a childhood disorder. About 50 percent of affected children carry it with them into adulthood. Children and adults with ADHD have an inability to focus on the task at hand. They can’t stay seated for long periods. They flit from one activity to another. They’re impulsive. As adults, they often make bad decisions quickly. Adults with ADHD tend to be edgy and anxious. Children with it are always in motion. These are not willed behaviors. Without help, affected children have great difficulty learning. Affected adults often are unable to hold on to a job. Treatments are avail-

able to children and adults. Ritalin is one oftenprescribed drug. It helps reguHEALTH late brain chemisDr. Paul try, as do Donohue the other ■■■ ADHD drugs. Treatment is more than handing a child or an adult a pill. Counseling is necessary. Professionals can set goals for children and teach them ways to develop discipline and concentration. They can help adults control impulsivity and lead them away from making rash decisions. Dear Dr. Donohue: My husband had surgery for two painful Morton’s neuromas on his feet. The surgery necessitated weeks of recovery, and it is a risk for infection. I had saline (saltwater) injections to treat my Morton’s neuromas. They worked. No danger of infection. No long recovery. These were the best treatments for me. – C.H. A Morton’s neuroma is a nerve in the ball of the foot that has become entrapped in scar tissue. It causes burning or shooting pain in that region, and the pain frequently radiates into the toe. The spot usually affected is the area beneath the third and fourth toes. Women are more prone to developing a Morton’s neuroma than are men. Every foot malady that favors

women more than men is blamed on high heels. They may have a role in causing Morton’s neuroma, but they are not the only cause. People with a Morton’s neuroma don’t have to rush to surgery. Sometimes simple things, like wearing wider and better-cushioned shoes, end the pain. A padded shoe insert is another treatment. Injections of the area around the neuroma with cortisone have been successful. I have never heard of saline injections. I have heard of dilute alcohol injections. They’re a newer treatment, and they have worked well for many. I’m glad your treatment was so outstanding, and I thank you for telling us about it. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am a senior and have been afflicted for the past year with tinnitus, ringing in the ears. I have seen ads that claim to cure the problem with pills. I am afraid that these are scams. I would greatly appreciate your opinion. – E.D. I haven’t seen any ads for pill treatment of tinnitus. Like you, I am skeptical of such claims. I wouldn’t send money for it. Often, tinnitus in older people follows a decrease in hearing. The brain generates its own noises. Background noise dampens that din for people with good hearing. People with poor hearing perceive those noises as tinnitus. A hearing aid sometimes can stop this kind of tinnitus.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

When I watched today’s deal at the club, East was Grapefruit, for whom the end justifies the meanness. He badgers partners unmercifully. Grapefruit’s queen won the first spade, and his king also won. Unable to find another spade, Grapefruit tried the jack of hearts. South won and started the diamonds, and after West took his two aces, South claimed. “Thanks, partner,” Grapefruit scowled. “If brains were trees, you’d be a twig.” “What could I do?” West frowned. GETS IN “Nothing,” said Grapefruit. “But a player who had two brain cells to rub together would overtake my king of spades, lead the nine to force out the jack, and cash two spades when he took the ace of diamonds.” I don’t know which is worse, Grapefruit’s demeanor or his analysis. If South held J 3 2, A K Q 6, K 10 9, K 10 4, overtaking the second spade would be costly. The defenders’ best chance is for East to play the king on the first spade, then lead the queen to show a doubleton. West could guess what to do.

HOROSCOPE

CROSSWORD

Thursday, March 18, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Adam Levine, 31; Dane Cook, 38; Queen Latifah, 40; Vanessa Williams, 47 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Don’t let anyone stand in your way or limit what you can do or say. Do what’s best for yourself, without hesitation. A partnership must be evened out or left behind. Speak from the heart but don’t hold back how you feel. It’s time for you to put yourself first. Your numbers are 4, 15, 19, 23, 26, 37, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will be sensitive and will react quickly to the way people treat you. The changes or reforms you want to make will be met with opposition. The way you go about things will set the stage for what’s to come. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Explain your situation without giving away too much information. You may be asked to make a few changes but, if you are willing to compromise, you will reach an agreement that benefits everyone involved. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Put your Gemini charm to work and you can influence the outcome of a situation you face. Don’t let someone’s disgruntled response stop you from moving forward. A relationship with the potential to grow will sprout if you offer your services to a community group. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep your thoughts to yourself, especially if they could cause friction with someone at work or at home. Your reputation may be at risk if you meddle or spread rumors. An older friend or relative may need help. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be where the action is and can entice people to support your ideas and plans. Travel, intrigue and romance are all in the stars. Don’t be afraid to make demands and lay down some ground rules that position you well for the future. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Hold off making a decision if you feel someone is trying to railroad you into something that may not be good for you. Financial loss and additional burdens resulting from a mistake made long ago will actually lead to solutions. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Focus on what you can gain in the shortest period of time. If someone tries to influence you or push you to do something you don’t want to do, stick up for your rights and get back to your own projects and plans. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A move or investment will give you a much-needed boost. Now is not the time to beat around the bush – say what’s on your mind, clear the air and make your move. Procrastination will be your enemy. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t allow relatives and neighbors to bring you down or cause you grief. If you remain neutral, refusing to take part in an ugly discussion, you will come out unscathed. Problems while traveling can be expected. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Do not give in, back down or ignore issues that must be dealt with. It may not be the nicest situation to be in but, if you use past experiences as an example, you will convince people you are dealing with to give you a chance. Your skills will leave a good impression. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It may be time to question your current direction. Don’t let depression set in when all that’s required is a couple of changes on your part. You have added discipline and you should be putting it to good use. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Impulsive acts and overspending will create a difficult situation. Before you do something you’ll regret, turn your attention to something productive and industrious. The choice is yours, so settle down and get to work. ★★★

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A 9 8 6 4 H 8 5 2 D A 6 4 C 7 5. Your partner opens one heart, and the next player passes. What do you say? ANSWER: Raise to two hearts, confirming an eight-card fit and limiting your strength quickly. If instead you bid one spade and partner tried, say, two diamonds next, a bid of two hearts would suggest only a doubleton heart and might cause partner to misevaluate. If you held A Q 8 6 4, 8 5 2, A 6 4, 7 5, you’d temporize with a response of one spade. South dealer N-S vulnerable

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

Oldest daughter Cia Lee plays banjo and adds tenor and highbaritone vocals to the family harmonies. Older brother B.J. plays fiddle and occasionally lifts his chin to lead the family in song, while

little brother Skip plays guitar and sings. Younger sister Molly Kate also plays fiddle and sings. Family members have performed together for more than a decade, and they play regularly at the Grand Ol’ Opry. Cherryholmes has recorded six albums.

American movie director Tim Burton and Oscar-winning French actress Marion Cotillard were added to France’s cultural honor roll in a star-studded Paris ceremony Monday. Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand pinned green and gold medallions on the two, making the “Alice in Wonderland” and “Edward Scissorhands” director an officer in France’s National Order of Arts and Letters, while the “Nine” and “La Vie en Rose” star was made a knight. Burton, wearing a dark suit and his trademark finger-inan-electric-socket hairdo, called it “one of the biggest honors I’ve ever received.” “From the beginning of my career, I always felt a very special place in my heart (for) France,” he told the crowd of journalists and fans. “Because whether or not you liked the movies, I always felt that the French were looking for the poetry, looking for the meaning, looking for the things I was trying to do. “France has such a special place in my heart and I feel much more at home here than I do in my own country, and I always have,” he said, adding: “I thank you very much.” Cotillard, dressed in a checkered skirt and blouse in seashell pink silk, thanked Burton, whose 2003 film “Big Fish” was among her first U.S. movies. Burton “in a way opened the doors to American cinema to me and has always been my idol,” she said in a brief speech. She also thanked her friends and family – including her brother and her boyfriend, celebrated French director Guillaume Canet, both of whom attended the ceremony. Burton’s girlfriend, Helena Bonham Carter – who plays the short-tempered Red Queen in “Alice in Wonderland” – was also on hand for Monday’s event.

Deacs mess with Texas BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – With three post players 6-11 or taller and a 6-9 wing player at his disposal, Wake Forest coach Dino Gaudio usually didn’t think about size being an issue this season. Tonight’s NCAA East regional firstround game against Texas in New Orleans (tip: approximately 9:30 p.m.) is one of those times. The Longhorns feature 6-7, 225-pound forward Damion James, their leading scorer at 18 points per game who also grabs 10.4 rebounds per contest. They also have 6-10, 290-pound center Dexter Pittman, third on the scoring list at 10.6 ppg, plus 6-8, 238-pound forward Gary Johnson. “It’s going to be a big challenge for our big kids with Dexter Pittman, Damion and Gary Johnson,” Gaudio said “Those are big, strong, physical guys. I’ve seen Dexter before. I think our guys are going to be surprised when they see how big that young man is.” Pittman is about the same size as Mi-

ami’s Reggie Johnson, who went 8-for-8 from the field and scored 22 points as the Hurricanes crushed the Deacons in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament. “That front line is a big matchup,” Gaudio said. “They are very, very good rebounding team. We’re going to have to do a good job on getting in there on the glass and boxing them out. There’s no question that our front line and their front line is one of the factors in the game.” Both teams enter the tournament on a down note. Wake, seeded ninth, has lost five of its last six to fall to 19-10. Texas, the No. 8 seed, reached No. 1 in the AP poll for two weeks but collapsed to finish 24-9 and sixth in the Big 12 at 9-7. All of the Longhorns losses came in their last 15 games. In two of their last three games, they were blown out by Baylor. “The teams who do well in the tournament are the ones that come out with fire and emotion,” Gaudio said. “Winning these games is more about what happens above the shoulders than what happens below.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

NBA approves Jordan’s bid for Bobcats CHARLOTTE (AP) – Michael Jordan became a basketball star at North Carolina. Now he’ll try to turn around the state’s money-losing NBA team by becoming the first ex-

NASCAR fuels father & son I

f you pricked Odie Hughes’ finger, some racing grease and oil might leak out as well as blood. Same for his son Clayton. Odie has been intoxicated by the elixir of racing since he was a teenager. He began going over the wall as a crewman for a team in NASCAR’s premier series in 1962. At 65, he’s one of the oldest if not the oldest doing it this year as he serves as the gas overflow can holder for Furniture Row Racing. With his father involved in the sport, Clayton caught the bug early, going with Dad to help on Terry Labonte’s crew in 1980. Clayton now spots and serves as a coordinator for Furniture Row. In addition to the raceday duties, they also serve from Odie’s wholesale car business on U.S. 64 near the intersection with N.C. 109 as a shipping point for engines and gears and transmissions from suppliers to Furniture Row’s race shops in Denver, Colo. “You get in this stuff, it gets in your blood and when it does its hard to get out because you meet so many nice people,” Odie said. “People means it all.” Both list Thomasville as home, although they live south of town. “You wouldn’t think a couple of guys from Thomasville would be involved with a team based in Denver, Colorado,” Clayton said. They are associated with the team that owner Barney Visser named for his chain of furniture retail stores because a relationship developed with team manager Joe Garone when

they were with Bill Elliott’s team. They’ve worked on a number of different teams, inSPORTS cluding Billy Hagan’s, Greer Cliff StewSmith art’s, Petty ■■■ Enterprises, Darrell Waltrip’s, Jim Mattei’s and Cal Wells’. “Sometimes you try to stay with a crew chief,” Clayton said. Odie gravitated to racing as a teenager because he liked fast cars. He turned 16 in 1961 and went to work for driver Larry Thomas of Trinity in 1962. “Through school and all I had cars that would run pretty fast on the roads,” Odie said. “I just like to go fast and got involved in guys with racing.” Odie worked for Thomas for a couple of years, the only time he worked for a team fulltime. He and Wade Thornberg were the fulltime crewmen on Thomas’ car. “When I first started going to races, I paid my own way,” Odie said. “My NASCAR license was $25 and it cost c $10 to sign in the pits. The sport has come a long way. “I have gassed cars and carried tires. When I first got into it, I changed tires caused I didn’t have any help.” Thomas, one of the upand-coming drivers at the time, was killed on I-75 in Georgia while heading toward a tire test in January of 1965. Odie went to work at a gas station that he and his brother operated. But he

SPECIAL

NASCAR proves a family affair for Davidson County residents Odie Hughes (left) and his son Clayton. still wanted to go to the track and began working on the crew of Buren Skeen of Denton. Skeen was killed during the 1965 Southern 500 at Darlington. The combination of the deaths of Skeen and Thomas was hard on Odie. “I didn’t go much to the races for several years after that,” Odie said. “My friends had gotten killed.” He eventually started helping pit Terry Labonte’s car when Darrell Bryant was the crew chief. Bryant put Clayton to work writing down lap times. That was back in the day when drivers didn’t do victory burnouts and the crew rode on the car into victory lane. When Labonte won the Southern 500, Odie said he stuck both Clayton and Bobby Labonte in the right side window so they could ride into victory lane with the team. They were at Hagan’s when Terry Labonte won the championship in 1984. “That’s a day that will always stick with me,” Odie said. They worked some for Stewart, but after Stewart went out of business in the mid ‘80s, went back to help Inman when Petty

Enterprises reopened in 1986. They stayed there until Richard Petty retired after the 1992 season. During his time with the Pettys, Odie experienced his closest call on pit road. “Dale Earnhardt ran over me one time at Talladega while I carrying two tires,” Odie said. “He didn’t mean to. He came and apologized to me. He spun me out and knocked the tires out of my hand, but he didn’t hurt me.” After the Pettys, the Hughes got hooked up with Barry Dodson and eventually went with Dodson to Darrell Waltrip’s team. Then came moves to Bill Elliott and then Cal Wells’ PPI team. Clayton handled refueling duties from the Petty days all the way through his time with Waltrip and Elliott. “Back when we worked for Waltrip and Elliott and PPI, I gassed and Dad caught,” Clayton said. “We enjoyed doing that a lot. We gave each other a hard time. We always wanted to be the first off pit road, whether we were wrecked to leading the race. We got a lot of pleasure beating the other gas men.”

Clayton began spotting on an occasional basis in 2002. “I enjoy spotting,” Clayton said. “I like working with the driver. It’s real gratifying when driver comes up and say thank you. If you are fortunate to finish in the top 10 or top five, it is gratifying. It’s also a nerve wrecking deal tool. You don’t want to mess up and then apologize to the guys in the shop that you caused them to have a wrecked race car. And we don’t want to be responsible for tearing up some other cars.” Oide came into the sport when team just had a handful of employees and drove their crews to races. Now, he gets up early on Sunday morning to catch the team’s jet in Concord. He likes it that way. He got accustomed to flying to races while working for Hagan and Labonte when they had sponsorship from Piedmont Airlines. “I’m 65 and still digging,” Odie said. “So much in the sport has changed. It takes so much money to keep these teams going. But, I still love it.” The oil and grease and fumes run deep. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

several days later, the first-shift folks at least have a chance to watch some prime-time shows and sporting events live. Don’t get me wrong. I like my job and feel honored to serve our readers as sports editor. But almost always being several days late on the viewership train can be a real drag. That’s why I love the first two days of the NCAA Tournament. Today and Friday I can slip on a pair of brown shoes (sorry, George, I don’t own a

tux) and watch live first-round NCAA tourney games at noon and 2:30 before heading off to work. It’s great to see the upsets and thrilling finishes in real time for a change. The view from the caboose isn’t so bad. But it is nice to see things from up front once in a while. Enjoy the NCAA Tournament everybody!

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington failed a Major League Baseball test for cocaine last season, but has apologized and will keep his job. “I made a huge mistake and it almost caused me to lose everything I have worked for all of my life,” Washington said at a news conference Wednesday. “I am not here to make excuses. There are none.” Washington said he used cocaine only once and called it “stupid” and “shameful” behavior. The 57-year-old manager meet with his players earlier in the day and told them about testing positive in July. The failed test was first reported by SI.com. Washington said he told the commissioner’s office and Rangers management about his cocaine use before he underwent a routine drug test.

Another Blaney races to success BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

SHORT TRACK NOTEBOOK: Dave Blaney’s son Ryan won’t be asked when is he going to win a PASS South late model race anymore. The younger Blaney took the lead on lap 48 and led the rest of a 150-lap race, winning by nearly a lap at Dillion Motor Speedway in South Carolina. Blaney also holds a two-point lead in the standings over Hal Goodson, who finished second. The next PASS race is scheduled April 3 at Hickory.

points. “We did a great job of getting after it, getting all the loose balls and playing together as a team – and those are things we’ve got to continue to build on.� Tyler Zeller added 13 points for the fourthseeded Tar Heels, who advanced to the second round to face Mississippi State. North Carolina had gone 39 years without a losing seasons before its 8-20 debacle of 2001-02, and this win ensured that would be the only such blip on the program’s recent history. As if the sight of basketball royalty playing in the NIT wasn’t unusual enough, the game also was the first time in 24 years that the men’s program played a regular-season or postseason game at Carmichael Arena. Carmichael was the program’s campus home before moving into the Smith Center – which is currently undergoing some renovation – in 1986. Recent renovations at Carmichael had cut its capacity from around 10,000 to about 6,800 for this game, yet it was a sellout and offered a surprisingly charged atmosphere.

One small change in the format for NASCAR’s all-star race was announced Wednesday. The 100-lap event, scheduled for May 22 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, will still be divided into four segments, the last one still a 10-lap shootout. The format will retain 10-minute breaks after the second and third segments. The twist is that after the 10-minute break that follows the second segment, cars will make a mandatory four-tire pit stop on their second pace lap. The cars will line up in the order they leave the pit road. “Obviously because of the

CONCORD (AP) – NASCAR will officially move from the wing to the more traditional spoiler at next weekend’s race at Martinsville Speedway. Martinsville had been targeted for the transition, and NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton confirmed Wednesday that spoilers have been shipped to Sprint Cup teams and will be used for the first time at the Virginia short track. “It’s as soon as we could be ready,� Pemberton said.

Tar Heels net NIT victory CHAPEL HILL (AP) – So much for the idea that North Carolina’s players wouldn’t be interested in playing in the NIT, even in a miserable season following a national championship run. Instead, the Tar Heels really did look grateful to play again just as they said they were. Dexter Strickland hit the go-ahead free throws with 2:34 left and North Carolina held William & Mary scoreless for the final five minutes in the Tar Heels’ 80-72 win in the first round of the NIT on Tuesday night. Deon Thompson scored 20 points to lead the Tar Heels (17-16), who had slid from hoisting the NCAA championship trophy nearly a year ago in Detroit to playing in the NIT for the first time in seven years. And after weathering a flurry of 3-pointers from the Tribe (22-11), they ensured that they would avoid suffering only their second losing season in nearly half a century. “We came into this game looking at it as another fresh start for us,� said fifth-year senior Marcus Ginyard, who had 12

season opener along with a 150-lap NASCAT Southern Modified Tour race. Brinkley, Corey Strickland, Robert Tyler and defending track champ Travis Swaim completed the top five. Tyler, a former Wallburg and High Point resident, drew the pole after qualifying and led the first nine laps. Ryan Wilson was the fastest in qualifying and finished 11th. Pete Stewart was 13th with Wallburg native Ryan Robertson 17th. Two 75-lap late model races will headline Saturday night’s show. Also on the card are Limited Late Model, Legends Car, Super Mini Trucks, U-Car and Pure Stock races.

Bernanke: Let Fed regulate banks WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Wednesday urged Congress not to scale back the Fed’s regulatory authority over banks. He said the Fed needs the information it gleans from its bank oversight to set interest rates and gauge the health of the banking system. A Senate bill to overhaul financial regulation would strip the Fed of its power to supervise state-chartered banks and bank holding companies with assets of less than $50 billion. That would leave the Fed to oversee only 35 big bank holding companies. Critics have blamed lax regulation at the Fed and at other agencies for contrib-

Blockbuster shares tumble on warning NEW YORK (AP) — Shares of Blockbuster are sinking by more than 30 percent after the video rental chain warned that it may have to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Competition from DVD-by-mail company Netflix Inc. and DVD vending machines operated by Coinstar Inc. have eroded the Dallas company’s revenue even as it staggers under a heavy debt load.

Oil tops $82 on stock growth NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices topped $82 a barrel Wednesday after U.S. crude inventories grew less than expected last week, and the stock market rose on the Fed’s promise to keep interest rates at record lows. By midday, benchmark crude for April delivery was up 76 cents to $82.46 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

uting to the financial crisis. Testifying to the House Financial Services Committee, Bernanke once again acknowledged that the Fed’s past regulatory failures played a role in the crisis. But he said, as he has before, that the central bank has improved its regulatory oversight. Other testifying at Wednesday’s hearing echoed some of Bernanke’s arguments: — Former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker also argued for the Fed to retain supervision over all the banks it now oversees. His reasons mirrored Bernanke’s. — Small banks expressed support for continued regulation by the Fed. Jeffrey Gerhart, president of Bank

of Newman Grove, said the Fed would lose information about local economies, which affects interest rate decisions, if it no longer supervised small banks. — Anil Kashyap, professor of economics and finance at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, backed Bernanke’s pitch for the Fed to retain its existing oversight. — Allan Meltzer, a professor at Carnegie-Mellon University, said he doubted any regulator could prevent all risks to the financial system. But Bernanke’s arguments to preserve all the Fed’s supervisory powers drew skepticism from some House members at Wednesday’s hearing.

Wholesale prices drop WASHINGTON (AP) — Prices at the wholesale level plunged in February by the largest amount in seven months as a big drop in energy prices offset higher food costs. The Labor Department said Wednesday that wholesale inflation dropped 0.6 percent in February, much larger than the 0.2 percent decline economists had expected. Excluding food and energy, prices edged up a slight 0.1 percent, in line with expectations. The deep recession and weak economic rebound are keeping inflation at bay and giving the Federal Reserve leeway to maintain record low interest rates in an effort to build momentum from stronger economic growth. While overall wholesale prices have risen 4.4 percent over the past 12

months, core inflation, which excludes energy and food, is up a much more subdued 1 percent over the past year. Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Economics, said much of the downward pressure on prices stemming from the nation’s steep recession has yet to be felt. For that reason, Dales said the Fed will be able to keep interest rates low for many more months. The 0.6 percent fall in Labor’s Producer Price Index was the biggest decline since a 1.2 percent drop last July. In January, wholesale prices had surged by 1.4 percent, driven higher by rising energy costs. Last month, energy prices plunged by 2.9 percent with most of that decline reflecting a 7.4 percent drop in gasoline costs.

SEC probes companies’ roles in crisis WASHINGTON (AP) — The head of the Securities and Exchange Commission says the agency is investigating several companies’ actions in the run-up to the financial crisis of 2008. SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro said Wednesday “it would be safe to assume” that the agency is looking very carefully at the conduct of a number of firms during this time. Schapiro spoke in testi-

mony to a House Appropriations subcommittee weighing the agency’s request for about $1.3 billion for the budget year starting Oct. 1. She did not name the companies. Lawmakers want to know if the sort of accounting gimmick recently uncovered that was used by the collapsed giant Lehman Brothers to mask billions in debt was widely deployed on Wall Street.

Stocks climb on interest rate forecast NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market continued its slow but steady advance of the past month as investors grew more confident that interest rates will remain at low levels. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 48 points in its seventh straight advance and closed at a new high for 2010. The gain means the Dow has joined the Standard & Poor’s 500 index and Nasdaq composite index in reaching the best levels since 2008. The catalyst for this latest gain was the Fed’s decision Tuesday to hold its key lending rate at a record low of essentially zero. A government report that prices at the wholesale level fell by the biggest amount in seven months boosted investors’ belief that inflation is in fact being contained. That allows the Fed to keep rates low. The Labor Department’s Producer Price Index fell 0.6 percent in February, its steepest drop in seven months. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters forecast a drop of 0.2 percent. A drop in energy prices helped push the index lower. The Dow rose 47.69, or 0.5 percent, to 10,733.67. The Dow topped its earlier high for 2010 of 10,725.43 from Jan. 19. The S&P 500 index rose 6.75, or 0.6 percent, to 1,166.21. That’s the highest close since Sept. 30, 2008.

IMF warns of receding recovery BRUSSELS (AP) – Nations risk losing a window of opportunity to fix the global financial system in the wake of the credit crisis if they do not push reforms through soon, the head of the International Monetary Fund warned Wednesday. Stressing the need for cooperation, Dominique Strauss-Kahn also noted China’s currency, the renminbi, was undervalued but said he expected it would appreciate as China starts to rely more on domestic demand, help-

ing to rebalance global surpluses and deficits. He told European lawmakers that he was worried that countries’ “receding” commitment to international efforts to overhaul the world economy and the financial system in the wake of a blistering financial crisis could trigger protectionism. “We have a system with holes and go-it-alone national regulation,” he told members of national parliaments from across the EU.

OPEC leaves output unchanged

Actor Robert Pattinson signs autographs at the U.K. premiere of “Remember Me” at the Leicester Square Odeon cinema in London on Wednesday.

Jessica Simpson investigates standards of beauty NEW YORK (AP) – Singer Jessica Simpson has paid the price of beauty, and now she’s examining people’s obsession with looking good. Simpson, 29, made headlines last year when photos of her performing suggested she might have gained a few pounds.

That sparked a national media debate on asking if Simpson was, indeed, fat. She has decided to turn the tables on questions about how she looked. The result is a new show called, “Jessica Simpson’s The Price of Beauty.” It premiered Monday and will air weekly on VH1.

zation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries had said that OPEC would choose the status quo – unchanged since December 2008, at least on paper. Back then, OPEC announced the last of a series of cuts aimed at bringing its output down by 4.2 million barrels per day – a move that helped

engineer a rebound in crude prices, which had collapsed to the low $30s from a mid-2008 high of almost $150 per barrel. Since then, however, production has crept up, with individual members cheating on their quotas to bring production by the 11 OPEC nations under output limits to about 27 million barrels a day.
