Blockbuster store at Randolph Street and Sunrise Avenue in Thomasville will close doors April 18.

Blockbuster’s struggles continue in Triad BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – The struggles that the Blockbuster video rental chain is seeing nationwide can continue to be seen in the Triad. A blockbuster store in Thomasville will close April 18, a manager at the store said Friday. The store currently is liquidating its assets in a going-out-of-business sale. Located at 909 Randolph St., the store was not included in a string of Blockbuster closures in the Tri-

ad earlier this year when a store in Lexington on Raleigh Road and a store in Winston-Salem on North Point Boulevard shut down. Managers at the two High Point locations confirmed Friday they had no plans to close but directed all questions to the company’s corporate office. Michelle Metzger, a spokesperson for the company, also said the stores were operating as usual. “At this time, those stores are not slated to close,” she said. “With that said, we do always con-

tinue to optimize our store portfolio and make sure we’re cutting the under performing stores.” The High Point stores are located at 209 Eastchester Drive and 1589 Skeet Club Road. Facing competition from Netflix and movie rental kiosks, the company announced in September that it would close 960 stores within the next year. It announced last week it had closed 374 stores in 2009 and could close another 500-545 stores this year. About 150 stores are closing

next month alone, Metzger said. “Every store that has closed closes for a variety of reasons,” she said. “It isn’t the same reason in every store. Some stores are getting bad traffic. For other stores, their lease is up, and it’s just a good time for us to move out.” She added most store closures had other Blockbuster locations in close proximity to continue serving local neighborhoods.

Oak Hill plan wins board support Inside...

Superintendent Mo Green turns down pay raise. 1B BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Although they had their concerns, the two Guilford County Board of Education members representing High Point voted Thursday to approve a transformation plan for Oak Hill Elementary School. Carlvena Foster and Garth Hebert were part of the unanimous school board vote supporting Superintendent Mo Green’s plan, which includes staff and other changes. Principal Sara Roberts will leave

her post while other staff members will have the opportunity to apply for positions at the school. Green had these other reform choices: closing the school and transferring students, turning the school over to a charter group, or removing the principal and replacing at least half of the teachers. “I like this model,” Foster said. “This is the right way to go for the best outcome for all involved. The time is now to do this.” The plan will open the way for the district to apply for a federal assistance grant of as much as $6 million. Hebert worried that Green’s staff could be “chasing the dollar” to find a remedy. “We do not chase the

TRANSFORMATION PLAN

–

Survey: Each of the 52 Oak Hill Elementary School staff members, 67 percent of parents and 60 percent of community leaders surveyed by the school system supported a transformation model change over the more drastic restart or closure alternatives. Changes: The school reform plan requires the district to offer incentives to attract and retain high-quality teachers and to provide more learning time. The school also must reach out to families and the community. money,” Green said. “We should be at a point where this is the best thing to do. There is a high probability that we would have made the same recommendation without the grant.” Oak Hill has been identified by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction as a Tier I persistently

low-achieving school and one of the lowest performing schools in the state. “I’m going into this with great trepidation in hopes that transformation is better than stability,” Hebert said. Sixty percent of K-2 students speak English as a second language, and 97

percent of Oak Hill students receive free meals. Thirty-five percent of students left the school in the 2008-09 academic year, according to board discussions. “The children do move about, and it is hard to provide stability,” Foster said. Green chose the plan because it would not put a cap on the number of staff members that could return to the school. “This is not a complete restart from scratch,” said Board Chairman Alan Duncan. “Some of the teachers there are heroes, and we should be grateful and want them to continue. We want to build on what is there and do the best for the students.” dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Deputies say man left teen by roadside ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office has charged a Thomasville man with leaving a child stranded. According to a sheriff’s office press release, deputies received a report Tuesday regarding the possible neglect of a 13-year-old child. Upon further investigation, detectives allege

Daniel Millard Downing, 26, of W. Hunting Ridge Drive, Thomasville, did neglect the child by leaving the juvenile stranded on an unknown road after dark last week. Deputies have charged Downing on one count of contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile. Downing was placed in the Davidson County jail under a $10,000 secured bond.

Fire causes clock tower on courthouse to fall PITTSBORO (AP) – A clock tower has collapsed in a fire that severely damaged a historic North Carolina courthouse that’s been the site of a dispute over a video purportedly showing John Edwards in a sexual encounter. Multiple media outlets reported the tower at the Chatham County Courthouse in Pittsboro collapsed early Friday. The fire started Thursday afternoon. Hearings have been conducted in the court-

house on the handling of the video by a one-time aide to the former presidential candidate. Superior Court Judge Abraham Penn Jones told The Associated Press on Thursday the materials turned over in the case are in a vault away from the courthouse. The cause of the fire hasn’t been determined, but a city spokeswoman says renovations at the 129-year-old building had begun about two months ago.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday that two students at Ledford Middle School have been charged with possession of marijuana and another student at North Davidson High School has been charged with delivering a controlled substance. According to the sheriff’s office, a Davidson County school resource officer was notified Wednesday by a Ledford Middle School administrator of an incident that involved two students smoking marijuana while at school during a class change. The school resource officer recovered 1 gram of marijuana and several homemade smoking devic-

es. The two students under the age of 16 were charged by juvenile petition with simple possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. In an unrelated case, a Davidson County school resource officer charged a North Davidson High School student under the age of 16 with delivery of a controlled substance when it was discovered after an investigation the student delivered an unspecified amount of marijuana to another student. The student will be charged with delivery of a controlled substance and a petition will be filed with juvenile services. The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office didn’t release the names of the students because they are juveniles.

Show some American pride and whip recession There’s no doubt that President Obama wants to be the greatest president we ever had. He overlooked several things. Most Americans were raised with pride not welfare. A work for what you got attitude. A fear of God. A strong belief of one nation under God. America is like a fine old home that has been built strong and sturdy. Built with pride and sweat! Not cheap run-ofthe-mill labor who only work for the pay instead of the pride. Bottom line: people who only want something for nothing. Everyone usually needs help at times when things go wrong. I’m proud to see that people can see through Obama’s idea of socialism (a change). Let me ask you this: Why did people want change to begin with? Haven’t we always had recession? Haven’t we always come out stronger than ever by determination and our American pride not to take more than we need to recover? Not billions for our children to answer for. It’s like a tack in your shoe.

The Daily News of Jacksonville, March 22 Lawmakers and public policy advocates aren’t short on proposals to change campaign finance and lobbying laws in the wake of continued reports of unethical and sometimes illegal conduct in state government. We’d urge members of the General Assembly to use this general rule when deciding which proposals to enact during the 2010 legislative session, which begins in May: Sunshine is good; more restrictions on political expression generally aren’t. Among the items suggested by the N.C. Coalition for Lobbying and Government Reform is a proposal that would ban unlimited contributions from political parties to a candidate’s campaign. Currently, individuals and political action committees are limited to giving $4,000 to a particular candidate during an election cycle. But no such limit applies to political party contributions. As noted by Jeff Patch of the Center for Competitive Politics, such a limit would lead to citizens “outsourcing” their contributions to independent groups. As long as too much power remains concentrated in the hands of government officials, people will find ways to speak for or against those who espouse or oppose their viewpoints. And they’ll be more than willing to write checks to further their cause. Another restrictive provision that should not make it into law is a proposal requiring at least a six-month cooling-off period between the time that a top executive branch official leaves his or her job and takes a job as a lobbyist. A similar waiting period would also prevent state employees from taking a job with businesses that they contract with or industries they regulate. This provision is more symbolic than substantive. It really isn’t necessary. There are other suggestions we like, however. We think it would be a good idea to require people appointed to boards and commissions to file reports detailing their campaign contributions. That would give citizens a better way of judging whether a board member or commissioner got appointed because of merit, or because of generosity toward the party or candidate. Putting more disclosure requirements on campaign contribution bundling – where an individual solicits contributions for a candidate and has them “bundled” together and given to the candidate’s campaign committee – would be a good idea. More sunshine is helpful; further restrictions aren’t.

Stories of former slaves recount dark times

T

he “Born in Slavery” collection contains more than 2,300 first-person accounts of slavery and 500 black-andwhite photographs of former slaves. These narratives were collected in the 1930s as part of the Federal Writers’ Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and assembled and microfilmed in 1941 as the 17-volume “Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from Interviews with Former Slaves.” Sarah Frances Shaw Graves (Aunt Sally), Age 87: “I was born March 23, 1850, in Kentucky, somewhere near Louisville. I am goin’ on 88 years right now (1937). I was brought to Missouri when I was 6 months old, along with my mama, who was a slave owned by a man named Shaw, who had allotted her to a man named Jimmie Graves, who came to Missouri to live with his daughter Emily Graves Crowdes.” Jes’ like you got horse and mule an’ auto traders now … allotments made a lot of grief for the slaves. … We left my papa in Kentucky, ’cause he was allotted to another man. My papa never knew where my mama went, an’ my mama never knew where papa went.” Aunt Sally pauses a moment, then went on bitterly. “They never wanted mama to know ’cause they knowed she would never marry so long she knew where he was. Our master wanted her to marry again and raise more children to be slaves. They never wanted mama to know where papa was, an’ she never did, ” sighed Aunt Sally. She went on to give detailed accounts of “whippings” leaving “stripes of blood” on the backs of slaves with no medical care – with no care. Her story inspired a letter: Dear Aunt Sally, Thanks for telling and leaving us your American story. On March 23, 2010, President Barack Obama signed into law health care reform that you could never have dreamed of. Starting this year as a result of health care reform, children with pre-existing conditions cannot be denied health insurance coverage; young adults can remain on their parents insurance longer, small businesses can receive tax credits to make employee coverage affordable, insur-

ance companies cannot just drop people when they get sick. As our president said, it took almost a century of trying. According to a CNN reporter, “Democrats are celebrating and Republicans are mad as… (the opposite OPINION of heaven), but it was a good day. Happy Birthday! Sondra I wish you had been here to Foy have seen the opening of the ■■■ International Civil Rights Center & Museum. It took 50 years of struggle, but you’d be so proud. I was very young when the Greensboro Four sat down at the Woolworth counter. I remember my mom telling the story. She’d laugh when she’d talk about how surprised these mean people were going to be when they got to the pearly gates only to see black folk were going to be there, too. I didn’t see how she could laugh nor see the humor in those stories then. But I remember enjoying the moments that I saw her smile. So many more times, I saw the pain of racism and the stress of poverty on her face. Imagine having seven children and never having health care insurance for them. Years later, I attended and graduated from the same university as the Greensboro Four. I remember walking to find the Woolworth location days after arriving in town, remembering the bravery, sacrifice and the stories like yours. I’ve often stared at the angry faces of people who poured beverages and screamed insults into the faces of people who just wanted to be treated equally and with dignity. I’ve wondered if they, like slave traders and masters – are human? Otherwise, how could they have not known wrong was wrong ... shameful. What wasted life and energy on the part of the abuser and the abused! Many generations will understand that the sacrifice was not easy, is not over, is often masked, and at times blatant. We will continue to tell the stories and share the significance of the American struggle with our own sons and daughters, Aunt Sally.

Wisdom

Wisdom is a quality that is hard to deďŹ ne, though we usually know it when we see it, and Ecclesiastes 3: 1-2 almost always recognize its absence, which is folly. While it is often associated in literature with bearded, white-haired gurus who give sage advice, wisdom is essentially about having good judgement and perspective. Older people seem These things I have spoken unto to have it simply because they you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have have had more experiences, tribulation: but be of good cheer; and they have been through the trials and tribulations of a long I have overcome the world. John 16:33 life. We sometimes say that young people are “wise beyond their years,â€? but in reality no one who has not weathered the storms of time can truly be wise. But is it necessary to have suffered through sickness or the deaths of loved ones and various misfortunes to gain a deeper perspective on life, or do the ordinary stresses of a challenging career and relationships sufďŹ ce to give one the necessary perspective that is considered wisdom?? It is reported that Freud was once asked what a normal healthy person should be able to do, and he answered to “love and to work.â€? Perhaps the growth and maturity that comes from a life of loving and working is enough for most of us to develop that intangible quality we call wisdom.

Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding.

The origin of the King James Version W

ithout a doubt, the King James Version has been the most popular version of the Bible throughout the history of the United States. Yes, there are other versions, many versions, but the KJV has been dominant. Most people who use the KJV know that it came from England, and that it was produced during the reign of King James. But why did James want to create a new version? Read on. As with any subject in history, we have to dig further back than our topic in order to fully understand that topic. King James began his rule of England in 1603, but we need to go further back in order to get the full picture. The English ruler before James was Elizabeth. She had ruled England since 1558 and died in 1603. When she came to power, England had been torn between a Protestant monarch (Henry VIII and

then Edward, who were both Church of England) and a Catholic monarch (After Edward STUDYING THE CHURCH came Mary, who was Catholic). Mark Elizabeth Nickens was Prot■■■estant and steered the country toward a Church of England-based faith. Yet Elizabeth’s Church of England still resembled the Catholic Church in many of its practices. Therefore, some wanted to reform or purify the Church of England in order to move further away from Catholicism. These people are generally referred to as Puritans. Yet, under Elizabeth’s rule, they were not able to achieve many of their goals. Then Elizabeth died and did not leave an heir (she never had children).

Her nearest relative, and therefore the next monarch of England, was James VI of Scotland. He accepted the crown and became King James I of England. Since he did not have the background or baggage of Elizabeth (who witnessed the country going from Church of England to Catholic to Church of England), the Puritans of England might have thought that he would be more likely to listen to their demands. Therefore, a large number of Puritans (perhaps as many as 1,000) signed a document called the Millenary Petition and presented it to James while he was on his way from Scotland to England in 1603 to become king; this Petition laid out their wishes for church reform. The King called a conference in January 1604 to consider the requests. At that meeting, James refused the Puritan’s requests. He said that

US geneticist wins $1.5 million religion prize WASHINGTON (AP) – A one-time priest who later became an evolutionary geneticist and molecular biologist and helped scientifically refute creationism with his research was honored Thursday with one of the world’s top religion prizes. Francisco J. Ayala, 76, a U.S. citizen originally from Spain, will receive the 2010 Templeton Prize, valued at

$1.53 million, the John Templeton Foundation announced at the National Academy of Ayala Sciences. It is the largest monetary award given each year to an individual and honors someone who made exceptional contributions to affirm spiritu-

ality. Officials increase the value each year to exceed the Nobel Prize. “I see religion and science as two of the pillars on which American society rests,� Ayala told The Associated Press, saying the United States is one of the world’s most religious countries. “We have these two pillars not talking, not seeing they can reinforce each other.�

he would “make them conform or harry [drive] them out of the land.� Then he went one step further. At that time, the Puritans’ favorite Bible translation was the Genevan Bible, which James did not like. Why? It contained notes about verses in the margins which implied that a monarchy was not the best system. (This Bible originated in Geneva, Switzerland, which did not have and did not want a monarchy.) James said that the notes were “very partial, untrue, seditious, savoring too much of traitorous and dangerous conceits.� Therefore James suggested a new edition of the Bible be produced. While at that meeting, on January 17, 1604, to be exact, the decision was

made that “a translation be made of the whole Bible, as consonant [or accurate] as can be to the original Hebrew and Greek [original copies of the Old and New Testament].� But that is not the last word. Remember that James did not like the anti-monarchy notes in the Geneva Bible? This new Bible would be “set out and printed, without

The conference, organized by the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association, or ILGA, was due to take place this weekend with participants from 16 countries. The ban was issued by police in Surabaya, East Java’s capital, where the three-day event was to be held, national police spokesman Brig. Gen. Sulistyo Ishak said. The decision was made after considering public objections by Muslim groups and the Indonesian Ulema Council, an influential board of Muslim clerics, he said.

HIGH POINT – A judge ruled Friday that a murder defendant in a 2004 homicide is competent to stand trial. Superior Court Judge Ronald E. Spivey of Forsyth County found that Robert Demetrius Williams’ defense counsel had failed to establish in a competency hearing this week that Williams was incapable of understanding the charges he faces and assisting in his defense. Spivey cited the findings of a state forensic psychiatrist who evaluated Williams as feigning the symptoms of a psychotic illness. He referred to this and prosecutors’ other evidence from the hearing that showed Williams behaving in a rational and lucid manner in announcing his ruling Friday. Williams, 21, is charged with first-degree murder in the Oct. 22, 2004, shooting death of 22year-old Anthony Briggman Jr. at 707 Hines St. in an apparent drug-related robbery that went bad. He also faces an attempted murder charge in the shooting of Terrence Tyson, who was found at the scene with gunshot wounds. Williams is one of six people from Bennettsville, S.C., charged in the case and the first to go to court. Williams’ attorney, Barry Snyder, requested the competency hearing, arguing that his client suffers from schizophrenia or some other psychosis. The state doctor determined otherwise, noting that Williams’ spontaneous recovery from catatonic behavior and “changing mental status” on a daily basis were inconsistent with someone with a true mental defect. The doctor determined Williams may have had “an unwillingness but not an inability” to cooperate with his lawyer and “maintains the rational ability” to understand the charges against him. Spivey said recordings of calls Williams made from the Guilford County Jail in High Point to family members and associates showed him “methodically and logically” making arrangements to be taken to Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh for evaluation “because he didn’t like jail.” Some of the recordings were of Williams calling the hospital himself to confirm his appointment. Other calls showed that Williams “clearly demonstrated his awareness of his attorney’s role and actions” in getting him sent to the hospital, the judge said. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

O’So Tavern owners (from left) Sammy Gianopoulos, Johnny Pappas and Spiro Strates pose with some dishes at the new restaurant.

Restaurant owner celebrates 10 years of success with new venture BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – It’s a big year for Sammy Gianopoulos. A restaurant industry veteran at age 31, he is celebrating the 10th anniversary of his first restaurant, Gianno’s, on Eastchester Drive, while opening a new restaurant in the place of Aquaria Seafood Grille with the o’So Restaurant Group. The o’So Tavern opened about three weeks ago at 3800 Tinsley Drive in Wendover Landing. Gianopoulos opened the new restaurant with Spiro Strates, Peter Strates, Jimmy Strates and Johnny Pappas, all partowners in the o’So Restaurant Group. The group’s first restaurant, o’So Eats, opened last year on Jonestown Road in Winston-Salem. “I’ve been very fortunate with Gianno’s,” said Giano-

polous, who grew up with the four partners, all from families who worked in the restaurant industry. “The o’So group is really looking to expand.” The former Aquaria space underwent more than $100,000 in renovations after it closed last year, Gianopoulos said. Stone walls and a patio were added along with a new menu. Still offering seafood favorites like salmon, grouper and sea bass, it also offers burgers, apple glazed pork chops and a High Point strip steak on the new menu. The restaurant also serves lunch and dinner now. “We wanted to offer a highlevel menu at a lower price,” said Gianopoulos about the restaurant’s transformation. “At Aquaria, we were missing out on a lot of people due to seafood allergies and the prices.” The menu also offers some dishes the staff created, such as the “What Happened,” a

grilled, chopped steak topped with a house marinara and melted cheese blend over a special cheese ravioli with Parmesan alfredo. “The food is different,” said Spiro Strates. “That’s what we believe has made us successful.” The location of Gianopoulos’ former Aquaria off of Eastchester Drive – which the group refers to as “restaurant row” in northern High Point – also was a good location for the retaurant. “We were just really wanting to diversify our restaurants and were looking to invest in some more properties,” Pappas said. “Expansion is our key in the future.” Gianopolous added that the group is “under talks” to open two more locations in the Triad. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Green declines pay raise for second year ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

WHO’S NEWS

----

Green decided not to accept the annual salary increase included in his contract. During a two-year period Green has declined raises totaling $22,500. Green’s salary is now closer to $250,000 a year. Records show Green could earn as much as $262,000, of which the school board pays $128,000. Across county government, salary freez-

es have become normal in hard economic times. Green said he thinks the district is headed in the right direction. “We are in a time of economic turbulence when leaders must lead,” Green said. “This is the right thing to do.” The school board hired Green, a deputy superintendent and chief operating officer of the Charlotte-Meck-

lenburg Schools, in July 2008. Green also is a lawyer. “He has provided superb and wonderful leadership to the school district,” said board Chairman Alan Duncan. “He is a man of great character. He is a great leader, and he is truly working hard each and every day to advance the interests of students in Guilford County.”

Official offers to name unborn children after Google founders RALEIGH (AP) – A city councilman in North Carolina’s capital city is offering to name his unborn children after the co-founders of Google Inc. in an attempt to convince the company to build a highspeed Internet network in Raleigh. Communities around the nation have made a series of bizarre pitches to attract Google’s attention after the company said it would rewire a community with an experimental fiber-optic network. City Councilman Bonner Gaylord says in Raleigh’s video pitch that he and his wife are expecting twins and will name them Sergey and Larry – if the children are boys and Google chooses Raleigh. Larry Page and Sergey Brin are Google’s co-founders. Google’s network would deliver data at speeds roughly 50 to 300 times faster than today’s standard connections in U.S. homes.

NC jobless rate sets February record RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s unemployment rate nudged to a new high in February as more than 11,000 workers started searching for work even as thousands of jobs were cut, the state’s Employment Security Commission reported Friday. North Carolina’s unemployment rate rose to 11.2 percent last month, up a notch from 11.1 percent in January. February’s jobless rate is the highest since states started their current calculation method in 1976. It’s been 13 months since the state’s unemployment rate first edged above its previous high. Florida, Nevada and Georgia also saw record jobless rates in February. Nine states had unemployment problems that were worse than those in North Carolina, including South Carolina, which posted a 12.5 percent rate in February. The month saw North Carolina’s unemployment rolls rise by an extra 8,596 workers to 510,774. At the same time, 11,432 more workers were recorded as holding jobs or looking for work. That was a hopeful signal that employment options may be slowly improving, ESC Chairwoman Lynn Holmes said.

Geraniums have long been popular G

eranium plants used in the landscape or in patio/deck pots have been one of the most popular flowering annual bedding plants for generations. However, in North Carolina with the high humidity and frequent showers, geraniums were always best suited for lightly sheltered conditions on porches, deck or patios as potted plants. Up until the mid 1990s this was true because the humidity and rains of spring and summer always destroyed the blooms if they were planted in the ground fully exposed. However, in the last 15 years, plant breeding has greatly improved the flowers resistance to rain and rot from hot high humidity summers. Now geraniums can be planted in any sunny well drained soil with a pH of 6.5. Our acid soils need to amended with limestone to reach this pH. Soils of pH 5.5 or lower will give very poor geranium growth. The North Carolina Coopera-

tive Extension Service describes four very popular varieties grown in our state: Common Garden GeraECOLOGY niums or Zonal Geraniums Gwyn – Pelargonium x Riddick hortorum is the ■■■common geranium. Sold as bedding plants, they are compact in habit and often have fancy leaves marked by distinct bands - or zones - of darker pigments, tri-colored leaves or leaves with silver or white markings. Flowers may be single or double, are clustered into heads, and may range from red, pink, salmon, and white. Martha Washington Geranium – Pelargonium x domesticum is sold by florists during the winter as a flowering pot plant. It is not heat tolerant and will not perform as well

outdoors as common geranium. Ivy-Leaved Geraniums – Pelargonium peltatum is the ivy-leaved geranium. It has a vinelike growth habit with smooth, leathery leaves and flowers with narrower petals and less dense flower heads. It is commonly seen in Europe used in window boxes and is attractive in hanging baskets where it may grow to 3 or more feet in length. Scented-Leaved Geraniums – Pelargonium graveolens is the rose-scented geranium; P. crispum is the lemon-scented geranium; P. x fragrans is the nutmeg geranium; P. odoratissimum is the apple-scented geranium; and P. tomentosum is the peppermint geranium. Plants have a wide range of foliage types and habits and are used for making potpourris and sachets. New cultivars come into the market each year but some of the most popular ones in recent years are:

“Dynamo� Series – 5 colors, early flowering (90 to 95 days from seed), small plants (8 to 10 inches) with small leaves. “Elite� Series – 6 colors, very early flowering (85 to 95 days from seed), and profusely blooming, large flowers in well-rounded heads held just above the foliage on small plants. “Multibloom� Series – 8 colors, very early flowering, more flower heads, deeply zonal leaves, small plants, occasional poor field performance. “Orbit� Series – 17 colors, early flowering, and medium sized dependable plants. “Pinto� Series – 11 colors, large plants (12 to 14 inches tall), mid-early flowering (110 days from seed), deeply zonal leaves, excellent garden performance. “Ringo 2000� Series – 9 colors, earliest blooming (92 to 97 days from seed), very consistent, fast germination, medium sized plants (10 to 12 inches tall), very good garden performance.

“Maverick Star� – rose and white bicolor flowers. “Orange Appeal� – first hybrid seed grown geranium with brilliant orange colored flowers. “Tetra Scarlet,� “Freckles� – Tetraploid (3 sets of chromosomes instead of normal 2) plants are huskier and bear extra large flowers. When you plant them this year, they will give you nine months of almost continuous bloom in vivid colors. Just ask your nurseryman for varieties that will have blooms to withstand the humidity and rain. GWYN RIDDICK is a North Carolina Certified Plantsman and registered landscape contractor.

ear Abby: I’m 16 and have grown up religious my whole life. I get good grades and stay out of trouble. A lot of my friends have done crazy things like drinking and partying, but I haven’t. Because of this, I have the reputation of being a “goody-twoshoes.� I’m not saying it’s a bad thing being a good girl, but I don’t want to be a goody-two-shoes. Part of me wants to try some of the stuff my friends have been doing, but I don’t want to lose my parents’ trust. Please help! – Restless in Oregon Dear Restless: You have your parents’ trust because you have earned it. Before you try any of the “stuff� your friends have been doing, ask yourself what the consequences could be.

Dear Abby: My daughter left our small Midwestern town for the West Coast to marry money. At 37, she finally snagged her millionaire. She thought it was going to give her a blank check. She does live in a lovely home and drives an expensive foreign car, but that’s where it ends. Everything is in his name, and her wedding ring is one we gave her, although he paid to remove the stone and have it polished. I told her then to walk away. They have two children. Her son is a spoiled brat, completely self-absorbed like his dad. Her daughter has learning disabilities and is still at home.

More than one family member refers to her spouse as a horse’s rear end. He rarely attends family events, which is really fine with everyone. At best, he can be described as rude and obnoxious. My daughter would never leave him. She loves the lifestyle too much. If she only knew how most of her extended family think of them. I’m embarrassed by it, really. I just thought your readers should know that marrying money isn’t necessarily the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. – Her Mom in Wisconsin Dear Mom: I’ll say. Someone who marries for money usually ends up earning every single penny. Dear Abby: My husband was recently invited to the wedding of one of his co-workers. The wedding is in Mexico.

Saturday, March 27, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Mariah Carey, 40; Quentin Tarantino, 47; Xuxa, 47; Michael York, 68 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: It’s up to you to strive for perfection and to make your dreams a reality. Don’t let uncertainty rule. You may face conflict but that should only make you more determined to forge ahead. Follow your path and do your research. You’ll find the facts you need to make the right personal, professional and financial changes. Your numbers are 4, 12, 16, 20, 25, 33, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You need to test your skills. Get active and you’ll be surprised what you can accomplish. Love will take on a mysterious edge that may leave you wondering where you stand. Let your experience and originality take over. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Someone will take advantage of you if you don’t do your homework. Don’t leave anything to chance and don’t let anger and stubbornness cause you to make a foolish mistake. Stick to the things you know and do best. Your choice will control the outcome. ★★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Problems at home will surface if you don’t keep things out in the open. Volunteer to help an organization you believe in and you will enhance your reputation. Keeping busy will help you stay out of trouble. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): An opportunity to work will lead to new professional options. Communications and transportation will be riddled with confusion. Take down directions or instructions carefully. ★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t feel bad if you can’t do everything that’s asked of you. A money matter may be entwined in an emotional situation that makes it difficult for you to say no. Offer suggestions, not cash. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may end up with a responsibility that costs you financially as well as emotionally. A partnership you are involved in may face some difficulty. Put family and domestic responsibilities first. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take care of family business or you may be held responsible for something that doesn’t get done on time.

Money is heading your way and an opportunity that will allow you to try something altogether different will interest you. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may feel like avoiding someone you’ve promised something to but, if you aren’t following through, be straightforward about your change of plans. You will be in a high cycle regarding love and romance. Chances are good it will take up your time, interest and hardearned cash. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t count on someone coming through with something you’ve requested. Be ready to jump in and take over whatever needs to be done. A relationship you have with a friend or neighbor is likely to face difficulty. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you are straight about what you want or expect, you will find out what you can and cannot have. A relationship can change your way of life. An offer will help you secure the money you need for something you want to pursue. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may need to take care of someone who is going through a rough time. Don’t let this drag you down or cause uncertainties in your personal life. Talk things over with the people who count and you will come up with a workable solution. ★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

This week’s deals have treated signaling on defense. To test your prowess, cover the East and South cards. As West you lead the ace of hearts against four spades. East plays the eight and declarer the five. How do you continue? The actual West led a diamond. He ruled out a shift to clubs, the lowranking suit, since East had played a high heart. South won and led a trump to dummy’s queen. East took the king and could have prevailed by leading a high heart. Instead he led a diamond, thinking West might ruff. South won, let the nine of trumps ride, took the ace and ran the diamonds.

BEST DEFENSE Even though dummy had a singleton heart, East’s eight was an encouraging “attitude” signal. Since a heart continuation could be the best defense, West should have led another heart at Trick Two. South would have problems. After ruffing in dummy, he would lead a diamond to his hand to finesse with the queen of trumps. When East won, any return except a heart

---

would beat the game.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K 3 H K Q 8 7 3 D 9 6 C 10 7 6 5. Your partner opens one diamond, you respond one heart and he bids one spade. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: Like many bidding problems, this one has no easy answer. You must bid again since game is possible, but you can’t support either of partner’s suits, and a rebid of two hearts would suggest longer hearts. I’d try 1NT despite the lack of a sure stopper in the unbid suit. North dealer Neither side 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.

Battle of the bulge D

ear Dr. Donohue: I’d appreciate any direction you can give me about reducing the size of my stomach. It sticks out. I have been trying for more than a year to reduce it with exercise, but I am getting nowhere fast. I do 20 situps, three times a day. My belt is the same size it was when I started. What am I doing wrong? – J.B.

BLONDIE

Your question appears with such frequency in my mail that I could use it every week. You attack abdominal girth in three ways: a change in posture, a reduction of calories and a program that strengthens abdominal muscles. An excessive inward curve of the lower back makes the abdomen stick out. Stand with your back against the wall. If you can fit your fist between the wall and your lower back, the lower back curves too far inward. Flatten it against the wall, and you’ll see your abdomen also flatten. You have to adopt this posture at all times, sitting, standing and walking. It will become a habit in time. Most people with this problem also need to reduce their calorie intake. Eating 500 less calories a day pares a pound a week from the body. The weight loss doesn’t come exclusively from the abdomen. It comes from all body-fat storage depots, but some of it does leave the abdomen. You have to decide how much weight you need to lose.

Abdominal exercises strengthen the abdominal muscles. They become HEALTH a girdle, holding Dr. Paul in your Donohue abdominal ■■■ organs. What’s the best exercise? The sit-up with bent knees is a good one. Raising the head, neck and shoulder blades off the floor is the most important part of the exercise. Do this slowly. Another excellent abdominal exercise is the bicycle exercise. Lie on the floor with knees bent 45 degrees and feet off the floor. Your hands should be resting next to your head. Bring the right elbow and left knee together and then switch to left elbow and right knee. Dear Dr. Donohue: About 15 years ago, I was jogging in cold air. After about 10 minutes, I felt an aching in my trachea. I ignored the feeling and continued to jog. Today, while walking at a brisk pace on my treadmill, I felt the same ache. What’s going on with my windpipes? My age is 77. – L.B. I’m not sure if you are accurate in pinpointing the source of your pain to your trachea. Am I right in assuming you feel the pain in your upper chest? Any chest pain that occurs during exercise can

be a sign of heart trouble. That’s especially true in people your age. I won’t sleep easily until you have your doctor check your heart. Dear Dr. Donohue: I plan to run a marathon next fall. It’s been a goal of mine for some time. I have been running for an hour a day on a treadmill. Now that the weather is changing I am going to start running outdoors. I want to be running for three hours by June. My question is premature, but I would like to know when to cut back on running before the actual race. – H.M. I’m not a marathoner, and I’m not a running coach. Any information I have on this topic I’ve gotten from other sources. You shouldn’t be running 20-mile runs for two weeks before the actual marathon. Good luck. Dear Dr. Donohue: My problem is that I am a world-class athlete. At age 47, I want to slow down. I have been working out since I was a youngster and have competed at the highest levels for several years. When I wake in the morning, my motor is already revved up and ready to go long distance. What can I do to slow down after having competed at high levels for so long? – W.S. Would that I had your problem. Your body will adapt to less exercise in no time at all.

Boat drags returning in July ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – Drag boat racing will return to Oak Hollow Lake this summer under a different sanctioning body. Thunder at Oak Hollow, featuring Top Fuel boats that travel a quarter-mile in less than 4.5 seconds, is scheduled July 23-25, the High Point Junior Chamber of Commerce announced Friday.

The sport returned to High Point last July after nearly a decade absence, with sanctioning from the International Hot Boat Association. This year, the series has been taken over by sponsor Lucas Oil. The event will kick off with the first Oak Hollow Boat Drags Golf Classic at Oak Hollow’s golf course on July 22. It will be a Captain’s choice event with four-play-

er teams in which one of the players will be a celebrity, including pro drag boat drivers as well as others from across the country. The drag boats hit the water on July 23 for test-and-tune sessions. Qualifying begins on July 24 with elimination runs on July 25. Racers for Christ services are Sunday at 8:30 a.m. and 9:15 a.m. Tickets will be available at the main gate to the Oak Hollow Festi-

val Park entrance each day of the event. Ticket prices, which have been lowered to be more affordable, are $5 for Friday, $15 for Saturday and $25 for Sunday. Weekend passes are available for $35. Children 12 and under are free. The local event is part of a 10race series that is recorded for showing on thirteen 30-minute episodes on the Speed channel and four 1-hour episodes on Versus.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. (left) talks with crew chief Lance McGrew during a practice session for the Michigan 400 Cup race at Michigan International Speedway in this file photo from Aug. 14, 2009. Earnhardt and his new crew chief have made huge strides so far this season.

Crew chief grows on Little E A

s rain continued to fall at Martinsville Speedway on the way to washing out Friday’s qualifying for Sunday’s 500-lapper, Dale Earnhardt Jr. gave crew chief Lance McGrew a thumbs-up for the job he has done so far. He also said their Hendrick Motorsports team still hasn’t improved enough despite the gains it has made this season. With the starting lineup set on points – putting Kevin Harvick and Matt Kenseth on the front row – Earnhardt will line up eighth, which is far ahead of any starting spot he would have gotten on points last year. He never cracked the top 12 and slinked to a 25th-place finish while his teammates went 1-2-3. Earnhardt is in early contention for a spot in the Chase for the Championship on the strength of a second in the Daytona 500 and rallying from a pit road speeding penalty to finish seventh Sunday at Bristol. In between came finishes of 32nd, 16th and 15th on intermediate tracks. Considering teammate Jimmie Johnson won three of the first five races, Earnhardt sees room for improvement. “I have confidence we can do this the right way and accomplish our goals,” Earnhardt said. “We haven’t turned the corner,

we are turning the corner. We’ve got a lot to fix still and improve upon. The next 10 races will reveal where we needed to work as a team. Fontana, SPORTS Atlanta and Vegas showed where we Greer need to be better. ... Smith It’s important not ■■■ to get too satisfied and still want to get more out of the team.” Earnhardt has been in a slump since the middle of the 2008 season, his first with Hendrick. He posted a victory in June of that year at Michigan but dropped off the radar in the Chase, finishing 12th. He got off to such a poor start last season that car owner Rick Hendrick was forced to relieve Earnhardt’s cousin, Tony Eury Jr., as crew chief and gave McGrew the duty of getting the team back on track. “Lance has made a lot of changes in the offseason and they’ve given us confidence,” Earnhardt said. “Last year, when we’d unload the car when we were struggling was not easy to accept. We were disappointed, but there was no reaction that we could fix it. ... This year, you have a feeling if thing are going wrong, that little switch comes on that ‘we can fix this.’

Rain favors Martinsville front-row starters Harvick and Kenseth. 4C “It’s not a problem because we have so much more communication going on,” Earnhardt added. “Lance has done some great things. Last year, he built some cars that needed to be different. I drove them and liked them. He deserves a lot of credit.” The communication last weekend included Earnhardt going on a profanity-laced tirade in radio conversation with McGrew after NASCAR penalized him for speeding on pit road. Drivers cursing while talking to crew chiefs happens frequently during races. But, since it involved Earnhardt and could have signaled a possible rift with McGrew, it caught the attention of some. Earnhardt said Friday that he was just venting anger at NASCAR and gave props to McGrew for getting him back on task. “The thing about a really good crew chief is knowing exactly what to say in different situations,” Earnhardt said. “He knew he needed to cheer me back to my game and he did it. That’s what I needed. ... If he sees me going off

on the wrong path, he tries to fix it and he helps me out a lot. I was really, really upset and I wasn’t thinking about my job. He did the right thing.” Going on the wrong path is something Earnhardt did with Eury as their sometimes-bickering relationship as cousins carried over to race day. “I’ve worked with six different crew chiefs (in Cup),” Earnhardt said. “Lance and I are not related, so we have to respect each other more. The longer we worked together, the more respect we have for each other. He backs me up a little more than I’ve been used to, I guess. The reason I was able to keep my composure (at Bristol) was that I knew that he wanted the same result as I did. “The thing about Lance is Lance works on my confidence. That’s what I need. The bulk of the work on the weekend is on Friday and Saturday, and there are little moments where he says ‘we’re going to get this right. You are going to do this for us and we’re going to do this’ so we can get to our target time. He tells everybody to step up a little bit and that’s a lot of fun.” It will be more fun if he gets a victory and qualified for the Chase. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

hile Duke’s men grabbed most of the headlines with their march to the Sweet 16, don’t forget the Blue Devil

women. Second-seeded Duke (29-5) advanced to the round of 16 for the 12th time in the last 13 years. The Blue Devils play 11th-seeded San Diego State (23-10) in today’s 2:20 p.m. regional semifinal in Memphis. ESPN provides the live television coverage. A win over the Aztecs puts Duke into the

Elite Eight, where top-seeded Tennessee likely will await. Most college basketball observers know Mike Krzyzewski has guided the Duke men to 10 Final Fours. But how many folks realize the Blue Devil women reached four Final Fours and two national title games between 1999 and 2006? Some thought Duke might fade into the background when Joanne P. McCallie re-

placed Gail Goestenkors following the 2007 season. But Coach P barely missed a beat. This year’s roster features Joy Cheek, Krystal Thomas, Jasmine Thomas and Keturah Jackson. These Blue Devils may not be household names yet. A trip to the Final Four could change that.

HPU crushes Winthrop ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

ROCK HILL, S.C. – High Point University baseball crushed Big South rival Winthrop 15-4 on Friday to pick up its first road victory of the season. Kyle Mahoney went 4-for-4 with three RBIs. Murray White IV went 4-for-5 with four runs scored while Nate Roberts went 4-for-6, drove in two runs and scored three. Jamie Serber pitched 51⠄3 innings, giving up three runs on nine hits as he got toto improve to

Tennessee’s Wayne Chism (4) tries to save the ball from going out of bounds in front of Ohio State’s Jon Diebler (foreground) during the first half of an NCAA Midwest Regional semifinal Friday in St. Louis. Chism sparked the Volunteers to a 76-73 victory.

Chism helps blaze Vols’ trail ST. LOUIS (AP) — One Evan Turner is pretty good. Five Tennessee Volunteers are even better. Brian Williams scored the goahead basket on a tip-in with 32 seconds left, Bobby Maze converted a pair of late free throws and J.P. Prince blocked a desperation 3pointer at the buzzer Friday night, leading Tennessee past Ohio State 76-73 and into the NCAA tournament’s round of eight for the first time. Wayne Chism finished with 22 points — all but four in the second half — and 11 rebounds for the sixth-seeded Volunteers (28-8), who pulled out a back-and-forth tussle in

the Midwest Regional semifinals. As the final buzzer sounded, Tennessee players let out screams of joy and sprinted onto the court. Turner, who was pretty much all of Ohio State’s offense in the second half, walked off the court with his head down. He finished with 31 points, 21 in the second half. William Buford had 15 and David Lighty added nine. But Jon Diebler, so big for the second-seeded Buckeyes (29-8) in the first two rounds, had just three points and was 1 of 7 from 3-point range. Ohio State had won four of its previous five meetings against Tennessee, including a matchup

in the 2007 regional semifinals. But these Buckeyes are far different from that squad, which featured an NBA-caliber roster that included Greg Oden, Mike Conley Jr. and Daequan Cook. These Buckeyes do have Turner. But it’s a game of 5-on-5, not 1-on-5. Chism gave Tennessee a 72-70 lead with 1:39 to play, but Turner came up with yet another big play, swishing a 3 from just beyond the arc to put Ohio State in front with less than 42 seconds to go. But Williams, a big, bruising center who missed nine games earlier this season after a Jan. 1 arrest, tipped in a miss.

Gaels’ magic crashes to halt HOUSTON (AP) — LaceDarius Dunn, Tweety Carter and Baylor had all the fun Friday night, ending what had been an entertaining NCAA tournament ride for Omar Samhan and surprising Saint Mary’s. Dunn and Carter both made 3-pointers on their

first shots and later combined for a highlight ally-oop dunk as Baylor rushed to a big lead and romped 72-49 in the South Regional semifinals. The third-seeded Bears (28-7) will play Sunday for a chance at their first Final Four since 1950, when there were only

eight teams in the field. More impressive for Baylor, it is another inspiring step in redemption nearly seven years after coach Scott Drew took over a program reeling and recovering from a murder and scandal that shook the world’s largest Baptist university like

nothing in its history. Drew had to rebuild with reduced scholarships, a roster decimated when the top three scorers were allowed to transfer and an unprecedented half-season after the NCAA considered shutting the program down a whole year.

Va. Tech gives Greenberg contract extension THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BLACKSBURG, Va. — Virginia Tech says it has agreed to terms with men’s basketball coach Seth Greenberg on the remaining four years of his contract and extended it two years. Greenberg’s contract required that he and the school discuss a possible extension after this season. The deal means Greenberg will be under contract with the Hokies for six more years. Terms

will be announced when the paperwork is finalized within two weeks. The Hokies have a 13294 record in Greenberg’s seven seasons in Blacksburg. They tied the school record for most victories in a season this year, going 25-9. Their season ended Wednesday night with a 79-72 loss to Rhode Island in the NIT quarterfinals. Virginia Tech has played in postseason tournaments five times under Greenberg.

AD BACKS HEWITT ATLANTA — Georgia Tech’s athletic director says he’s thrilled that Paul Hewitt decided to stay on as the Yellow Jackets’ coach and still believes he’s the right man to lead the program after a decade of up-anddown results. Dan Radakovich tells The Associated Press he’s not concerned that Hewitt met with St. John’s about its vacant coaching job before withdrawing his name from consideration Thursday.

Radakovich said Friday that Hewitt has “all the qualities that we want in a head coach,� even though some fans are upset about failing to build on a run to the national championship game in 2004. The Yellow Jackets have managed only one winning season in the Atlantic Coast Conference under Hewitt, and they were knocked out in the second round of this year’s NCAA tournament despite one of the nation’s best recruiting classes.

Duke women not taking Aztecs lightly BY JOE JOHNSON ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

MEMPHIS – Duke coach Joanne P. McCallie doesn’t think her team is going to get caught up in thinking it has an easier game than anybody else in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Women’s Tournament because San Diego State is the lowest remaining seed. The Aztecs, the No. 11 seed, got through their first two rounds by beating Texas on its home court and following it up with a victory over West Virginia. “We don’t think about seeds now because everyone who is still playing is pretty good,� McCallie said Friday at FedExForum. “Seeds, for us, are irrelevant. You just have to be ready to play on

the day of the game. It’s not going to take a lot to get us motivated, because the kids know how good the other teams are.� Duke and San Diego State will be meeting today (2:30 p.m., ESPN) for only the second time, the first coming in 1983 when the Blue Devils hosted and beat the Aztecs 82-68. San Diego State (23-10) will pose a couple of challenges the Blue Devils have seen this year, and McCallie wants her team to respond with the same defensive intensity they’ve been applying. The Aztecs have a trio of quick guards who have been deadly accurate outside shooters, and they are extremely willing to push the pace of the game. “It’s important to re-

bound well and contest their shots,� McCallie said. “Defensively, everybody has to be effective. It doesn’t fall to one player, because we play so many different defenses.� SDSU senior guard Jene Morris will attract the most attention from the Blue Devils. Morris leads the Az-

tecs in scoring and had outbursts of 32 points against Texas and 27 against West Virginia in the second round. As a team, the Aztecs have found their long-range shooting touch in the tournament, hitting 52 percent (13 of 25) from behind the arc.

3-0 on the season. Kyle Starnes pitched a perfect ninth inning. The Panthers are now 15-7 (2-2 BSC) while Winthrop falls to 12-9 (0-1 BSC). “This is our first road victory, and even though we haven’t played a lot on the road we never expect to come in here and get an easy game,� said head coach Craig Cozart. “Winthrop is a quality club and this is a quality win but tonight is already over and we are focusing on the doubleheader tomorrow.�

Future is now for Braves phenom Heyward KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) – Rookie sensation Jason Heyward will open the season as Atlanta’s regular right fielder. “How could we keep him off the team,” Braves manager Bobby Cox said Friday. “He’s done everything this spring.” The 20-year-old Heyward went into Friday’s game against Detroit batting .366 with a homer and five RBIs in 41 at-bats this spring. He had a .500 onbase percentage and .537 slugging average. “He’ll be in there everyday,” Cox said of the lefthanded hitter. “With him, it doesn’t matter if a lefty or righty is pitching. Heyward, an invitee to spring training, was added to the 40-man roster after pitcher Todd Redmond was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett. “It was time to make it official that Jason was on the team,” Braves general manager Frank Wren said. “Now he can just go

MARTINSVILLE, Va. – Kevin Harvick and Matt Kenseth made no apologies Friday. Not noted for their qualifying prowess at Martinsville Speedway, neither showed remorse when rain washed out qualifying Friday and left them as the front-row starters for Sunday’s Goody’s 500 when the starting lineup was set by points. “Nope, not a bit,” pole-sitter Harvick said when asked if he was disappointed that he didn’t have to qualify. That’s with good reason. In 17 previous Martinsville outings, he had qualified in the top five just four times and started 13th or worse six times. Kenseth owned more reason to be happy with the rainout. In his 20 Martinsville tries, he has managed just one top10 start and 14 times qualified 20th or worse. “I don’t qualify well anywhere, but especially here, so to start second is good,” Kenseth said. “The only bad thing is you have nowhere to go but backwards, so I’m happy to start second.

AP

Kevin Harvick smiles during a press conference at Martinsville Speedway on Friday after qualifying for Sunday’s Cup race was rained out. Harvick was 16th and Kenseth 25th in practice. “I don’t think I was going to have a shot at the pole, so I think it is a pretty easy answer for us (on whether qualifying was rained out),” Kenseth said. Jimmie Johnson, winner of five of the past seven Martinsville races, starts third with Greg Biffle fourth and Tony Stewart (another former winner here) fifth. Bobby Labonte starts 29th with Dave Blaney 42nd. Johnson wanted to qualify: “We haven’t qualified well here in our last six or seven attempts,” Johnson said. “We worked on qualifying trim. We were better. I wish we could have run the session just to see where we would have ended up.”

The rain was doubly good for Harvick, who got the pole for today’s Truck race on 2009 owners points earned by teammate Ron Hornaday, who will start 31st as a past champion. “Obviously this is the place where if you’re going (to have qualifying rained out) and start up front (on points), this is the place you want to do it,” Harvick said, referring to how difficult passing is on the tight track. “I’m looking forward to both races. Aric Almirola flanks Harvick on the front row. Matt Crafton, Mike Skinner and Timothy Peters are the remainder of the first five.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Ernie Els was like so many others Friday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He was tied for the lead, and not quite sure how he got there. Els had to play out of the water to save par on the sixth and steady his round of 3-under 69. Davis Love III didn’t make a par over the first nine holes and shot 71. Ben Curtis started his round of 67 with two straight bogeys. D.J. Trahan had a 68 to join them in a four-way tie for the lead at 7-under 137. One shot behind was Phil Mickelson, who is starting to find his putting stroke at just the right time. The evidence came not so much from the 67 he shot at Bay Hill that put him into the thick of contention, but from a casual round earlier this week in the California desert – Mickelson shot a 58, the lowest score of his life.

Greece celebrated its Independence Day – when eurozone countries agreed to a financial rescue package, to be used only as a last resort, that includes the International Monetary Fund and is reportedly worth about ¤22 billion ($29.4 billion). The European Central Bank also extended relaxed rules that keep downgraded Greek bonds eligible. Top-selling daily newspaper Ta Nea pictured a smiling Prime Minister George Papandreou on its front page, beside the banner headline “Phew! – Double Breather.”

“Without doubt, I think the ... announcement for Greece is a very positive development,” said Platon Monokroussos, head of financial markets research at Greece’s private Eurobank. “The think the package removes the risk of sovereign default and ultimately is going to prove positive for the economy ...

CHARLOTTE – This tax season will be kind to Bank of America and Wells Fargo: It appears that neither bank will have to pay federal income taxes for 2009. Bank of America probably won’t pay federal taxes because it lost money in the U.S. for the year. Wells Fargo was profitable, but can write down its tax bill because of losses at Wachovia, which it rescued from a near collapse. The idea of the country’s No. 1 and No. 4 banks not paying federal income taxes may be anathema to millions of Americans who are grumbling as they fill out their own tax forms this month. But tax experts say the banks’ situation is hardly unique. “Oh, yeah, this happens all the time,” said Robert Willens, an expert on tax accounting who runs a New York firm with the

same name. “Especially now, with companies suffering such severe losses.” For 2009, Bank of America netted a $2.3 billion benefit related to income taxes, according to its annual report: It had a benefit of $3.6 billion from the federal government, and an expense of $1.3 billion that it paid to different state and foreign governments. The bank’s $3.6 billion current federal tax benefit for 2009 came in a year when it lost $1 billion in the U.S., according to its latest annual report. Wells Fargo was profitable in 2009, with $8 billion in earnings applicable to common shareholders. But its tax payments were reduced because of Wachovia’s losses. Wells netted an overall tax benefit of $4.1 billion in 2009. Wells did record an overall income tax expense of $5.3 billion, but that was offset by the tax benefits of the Wachovia losses.

Drivers catch a break as gas prices level out NEW YORK (AP) – Motorists filling up for weekend driving caught a small break at the pump Friday, as average retail gasoline prices held steady at the same level as a week ago. Nationwide average retail prices shed less than a penny overnight to $2.811 a gallon. Pump prices are 13.3 cents higher than a month ago and 80.2 cents more expensive than the same time last year, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. Motorists are paying 16 cents per gallon more now than they were at the start of the year. Gasoline prices have

climbed in recent weeks as refineries began producing more expensive blends to reduce pollution in warmer weather. Energy analysts and the government predict prices will reach $3 or more by summer, as more drivers hit the road. Some of the lowest gasoline prices are in Texas, Oklahoma, South Carolina and the Gulf Coast region. Meanwhile, benchmark crude for May delivery fell 53 cents to settle at $80 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Crude has meandered in the low $80s for about the last two weeks as investors look for signs global oil demand is growing.

NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks closed mixed for a second day after investors grew pessimistic about the market’s ability to keep its rally going. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 9 points Friday. It had been up as much as 68 after European leaders announced a plan to help Greece with its debts. A similar advance and retreat occurred Thursday. Analysts see that pattern as a sign of an overheated market. The Dow has climbed 16 of the last 21 days. Major stock indexes still managed to rise for a fourth straight week. The market moved higher early in the day but the gains faded as traders grew cautious after the recent string of advances, which have come on light volume. When trading volume is weak, investors often worry that only a small number of buyers are driving the market higher. “The market is extremely vulnerable to a pullback,” said Christian Bendixen, director of technical research at Bay Crest Partners in New York. The late-day retreat also signals that traders don’t expect the market to keep up climb that has now gone on for two months with few breaks. “Investors may be trigger-happy to lock in gains at any sign of selling,” said Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist at RDM Financial Group.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Under pressure to stem the foreclosure crisis, the Obama administration launched a plan Friday to reduce the amount some troubled borrowers owe on their home loans and give jobless homeowners a temporary break. Administration officials cautioned that the plan won’t stop all foreclosures or help all troubled homeowners. Instead, officials said their goal is to meet their original target, announced last year, of helping 3 million to 4 million borrowers avoid foreclosure. The new effort is designed to help two groups: • Borrowers who owe more on their loans than their houses are worth. Nearly 15 million homeowners fall into this category, according to Moody’s Analyt-

ics. About 10 million of them owe at least 20 percent more than their house’s current value. • Unemployed borrowers. People receiving unemployment benefits would see their mortgage payments drop to no more than 31 percent of their monthly income – but only for three to six months. The administration’s existing program to prevent foreclosures has failed to make a dent in the problem. A lack of planning and shifting rules on qualifications for it produced a huge backlog in the program, the special inspector general for the federal financial bailout fund told lawmakers this week. Only 170,000 homeowners have completed loan modifications out of 1.1 million who began the program over the past year.

DETROIT (AP) – General Motors Co. will bring back 600 laid-off auto workers and add equipment at two Canadian factories in an effort make more midsize crossover vehicles that have been selling well in both the U.S. and Canada. The company announced Friday that it will add equipment and reconfigure the body-making shop at its factory in Ingersoll, Ontario, where it makes the Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain crossovers. It also will put hundreds of workers

back on the clock at a factory in Oshawa, Ontario, and add equipment to the plant so it can make Equinoxes in addition to its current product, the Chevrolet Impala full-size sedan. GM has been struggling to meet demand for the two crossovers, which are like small sport utility vehicles but built on car underpinnings. When equipped with a four-cylinder engine, the vehicles can get up to 32 mpg on the highway.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The burst of energy the economy showed at the end of last year isn’t likely to be repeated anytime soon. The Commerce Department reported Friday that the economy grew at a 5.6 percent pace in the October-to-December quarter in its third and final estimate of economic activity during the period. Even though growth turned out to be a tad less than the government’s prior two estimates for the quarter, the new reading still marked the strongest showing in six years. Many economists, however, think the economy has slowed in the current quarter to about half the pace seen at the end of last year. Why won’t the big growth spurt be repeated? Because the main force behind it is already ebbing. Most of last quarter’s growth came from a large bump up in manufacturing – but not because consumer demand was especially strong. In fact, consumer spending weakened at the end of the year, even more than the government previously estimated, contributing to the slightly lower reading on overall economic growth. Instead, factories were churning out goods for businesses that had let their stockpiles dwindle to save cash. If consumer spending remains lackluster as expected, that burst of manufacturing – and its contribution to economic activity – will fade. Analysts predict the economy will expand at only between a 2.5 percent and 3 percent pace in the first quarter of this year.

Discovery will haul up spare parts and extra supplies for the International Space Station. The mission is one of four remaining shuttle flights.

Nevada candidate faces bad check charges LAS VEGAS – A Nevada asphalt contractor who is running under the Tea Party of Nevada banner to unseat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has been hit with felony theft and bad check charges in Las Vegas. Court documents filed Friday show Scott Ashjian is accused of bouncing a $5,000 business check last year. Other tea party activists have been distancing themselves from Ashjian. A lawsuit is challenging his candidacy, and an ad targeting Ashjian has been sponsored by the Tea Party Express.

“Who could do this?” The girl’s father, North Carolina resident Sam Thompson, lives in Graham. Harrell was already being investigated for child porn on his computer when the secondgrader went missing Oct. 19, but initially he wasn’t a prime suspect in her disappearance. Instead, authorities interviewed convicted sex offenders within a 5-mile radius of Somer’s

suburban north Florida home. On Feb. 11, Clay County authorities filed the child porn charges and Harrell was arrested in Mississippi. He was called a person of interest in Somer’s case and has been in jail ever since. Somer’s case – an innocent little girl vanishing from a quiet suburban street – resonated with many. During a press conference at the same church where Somer’s

Palin lends star power to McCain TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) – Sarah Palin lent her star power among fellow conservatives to former running mate John McCain in his tough Senate re-election campaign, telling a rally Friday that McCain pegged President Barack Obama right when he said the Democrat would swell the size of government.

Hayworth, former congressman and conservative talk radio host, says McCain is too moderate for Arizona Republicans. Hayworth, a former resident of High Point, N.C., has tried to build support among conservative activists who identify with the tea party movement. Palin, among the most popular figures with those activists, appeared with McCain for the first time since the pair lost the 2008 presidential election. “Everyone here supporting John McCain, we are all part of that tea party movement,” Palin told the rally.

Palin said McCain warned the country that Obama’s policies

SEATTLE – Three Seattle police officers were justified when they used a stun gun on a pregnant mother who refused to sign a traffic ticket, a federal appeals court ruled Friday in a case that prompted an incredulous dissent. Malaika Brooks was driving her son to Seattle’s African American Academy in 2004 when she was stopped for doing 32 mph in a school zone. She insisted it was the car in front of her that was speeding, and refused to sign the ticket because she thought she’d be admitting guilt. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

BROCKTON, Mass. – A man accused along with his wife of giving their 4-year-old daughter a lethal prescription drug overdose to keep her quiet was convicted of first-degree murder Friday.

He faces an automatic sentence of life in prison without parole.

11 killed when tractor-trailer, van collide in Kentucky MUNFORDVILLE, Ky. (AP) – A tractor-trailer loaded with auto parts crossed a highway median Friday and slammed head-on into a van carrying a Mennonite family, killing 11 people before dawn on a hilly stretch of interstate. The dead included an engaged couple and several members of their family, whose house burned down in Decem-

ber. Two children in the van were the only survivors of the crash about 75 miles south of Louisville. After the collision, the truck smashed into a rock wall and burst into flames. The driver, the lone occupant, was also killed. A pastor for the family said they were traveling to a wedding in Iowa, and the engaged couple

planned their own wedding for July. “They’ll have a wedding in heaven, I guess,” said Leroy Kauffman, pastor of Marrowbone Christian Brotherhood. The crash was the deadliest single accident in Kentucky since a 1988 bus crash in which 27 people died when a church bus carrying a youth group was hit by a drunken driver.

Jackson detectives found skin cream LOS ANGELES (AP) – Newly unsealed search warrants detail an array of skin-whitening creams and medical items found in Michael Jackson’s home after the singer’s death. The documents were unsealed Friday following a legal motion by The Associated Press. They show detectives found four bottles of anesthetic and dozens of tubes of skin-whitening cream in a cupboard in Jackson’s room. Jackson had vitiligo that creates patches of depigmented skin. The skinwhitening cream can be used to cover patches of skin that retained color.

Smallest Mercedes SUV is sales star ANN M. JOB THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NUTS & BOLTS

–

Mercedes-Benz has found a silver lining to the economic recession: It’s helping boost sales of its smallest sport utility vehicle in the United States. In fact, the 2010 GLK has been outselling the other Mercedes SUVs in this country in 2010. Shorter than most major competitors, including the Lexus RX and Infiniti’s EX35, the compact GLK appeals with a starting retail price that’s $11,800 lower than the previous lowest-priced and smallest Mercedes SUV, the M-Class. The five-seat GLK also is a recommended buy of Consumer Reports magazine and offers the status of a Mercedes, plentiful standard safety equipment and a comfortable ride without all the heft of the bigger Mercedes SUVs. Just don’t try to fit more than five people inside – four is best – and don’t expect a low price if you insist on a GLK with all the bells and whistles. Also, don’t look for big savings at the gas station. Less than 15 feet long from bumper to bumper, the GLK has a starting manufacturer’s suggested

This compares with the starting MSRP, including destination charge, of $46,575 for a rear-wheel drive Mercedes M-Class SUV. But the test GLK had a final price of more than $48,000 with a navigation system, power liftgate, ga-

rage door opener, leather seat trim, premium sound system and other goodies added in. Meantime, GLK competitors include the 2010 Audi Q5 (with standard all-wheel drive, and 270 horsepower); its starting retail price is $38,175. The 2010 Infiniti EX35 starts at $34,665 with rear-wheel drive and 297 horsepower. An all-wheel drive EX35 starts at $36,065.

The 2010 Lexus RX 350, which has been the segment leader for years, has a starting retail price of $38,500 with front-wheel drive and $39,900 with allwheel drive. The RX has a 275 horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6. There’s one engine for the 2010 GLK – a 268-horsepower, 3.5-liter, dual overhead cam, gasoline V-6. It’s the same V-6 offered in the Mercedes M-Class

and has strong, confident sounds and provides good get up and go with torque of 258 foot-pounds hitting a peak at a low 2,400 rpm.

This includes single-family detached homes, condos or co-ops, townhouses or any similar type of new or existing dwelling. Income limits apply for individuals and married couples.

Home sellers: Find the best listing agent for you R

eal estate specialists call it “the shadow market.” By this they mean the tens of thousands of potential home sellers who’ve long waited for a robust economy to return before putting their property up for sale. Now many potential sellers feel they’ve waited long enough. With or without a perfect economy, they’ve decided to sell now to move on with their lives, says Ronald Phipps, the principal broker of a family-owned realty firm and president-elect of the National Association of Realtors (www.realtor.org). While many home sales are prompted by circumstances beyond the owners’ control, such as unemployment or divorce, those emerging from the shadow market also include people who’ve decided to sell voluntarily, says Leo Berard, a real estate broker and charter president of the National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents (www.naeba.org). “But to move forward, these people have to sell their present place first,” he says. Whether your home sale is voluntary or involuntary, Berard says it’s critical that you take special care when selecting a listing agent. “That means doing thorough due diligence to ensure you’ve chosen wisely,” he emphasizes. Before the economic downturn, more would-be sellers took a casual approach

to the agent selection process, often making a hasty decision, according to Phipps. But that’s changing. “It used to be that a lot of people would just call in a family member or friend SMART MOVES who happened to have a real estate license. The Ellen good news is that sellers Martin are now searching more ■■■ widely,” he says. Here are pointers for homeowners determined to find a skillful listing agent: • Get an agent who knows your locale well. Your cousin might be an excellent real estate agent. But should you consider hiring this person if his office is located a significant distance away from where you live? Absolutely not, says Berard, who contends that a faraway agent is likely to be much less effective in marketing your property than one who knows your local turf well. “An agent based more than 12 to 15 miles away from your house can’t be as responsive to buyers and their agents as someone close by,” he says. It’s especially wise to have an agent close by if you’re trying to sell a condo in an urban setting. In such a case, the ideal agent is often someone with

proven experience selling units in your same building. “Agents who are close are much better at offering you advice on pricing and will be more knowledgeable about your community when calls come in,” Berard says. Realtors call the area where they most often sell homes their “farm.” And, Berard says, agents who say they farm your area should be able to show this with a list of transactions they’ve done there recently. • Interview at least two to three listing prospects. Without interviewing other contenders, you may be tempted to hire an agent who comes highly recommended. But Phipps says “when you talk to several people, you’ll get different perspectives on your sale,” and several opinions on pricing can be especially helpful. He says you should be wary of any agent who suggests you should list your place for more than 10 percent above what others say is its fair market value. “Find out how they arrived at that higher price,” says Phipps, noting that occasionally some agents may suggest an above-market list price as a way to flatter you into hiring them. This practice is known as “buying the listing.” • Ask the agents you interview about their awards and honors. Phipps says one way to determine

agents’ expertise is to ask if they’ve been elected to positions of leadership within their professional groups, which “shows they have a reputation for collaborating with other real estate people.” That’s important, he says, because real estate is a cooperative profession and a successful sale typically involves more than one agent. • Choose a seasoned listing agent with a proven deal-closing record. During boom times, most sellers feel home-free once they’ve obtained a ratified contract, meaning their deal has been agreed upon by both sides of the transaction. But in the current period, Phipps says many sellers are understandably nervous that complications might scotch their deal because more purchasers can’t get mortgage financing. Also, more bank appraisals are coming in below the price that buyers have offered. “So it’s smart to find an agent with experience handling many different kinds of transactions. Look for their record of closing deals, not just taking listings,” Phipps say. Phipps uses this analogy: “Once a home sale was like an easy toboggan ride. Now there are trees in the way and the ride is fraught with more risks.” To contact Ellen James Martin, e-mail her at ellenjamesmartin gmail.com.

Allen Tate Company receives top honors at conference SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

CHARLOTTE – Allen Tate Relocation Services, part of the Allen Tate Family of Companies (www.allentate.com), has received top honors at the 2010 Leading Real Estate Companies of the World National Conference, held March 9-11 in Las Vegas, NV. Leading RE is the nation’s premier real estate network of more than 600 independent firms in the United States and

35 countries worldwide. Allen Tate Company is a founding member of the Leading RE network. This year, Leading RE presented Allen Tate Company with the “Crown of Excellence” award, an honor for achieving the highest overall performance rankings for outgoing referral production, outgoing sales production and incoming conversion in their category (companies with more than 1,000 Realtors) in the Charlotte,
