manager for the Randolph County ESC office. Barnes said she hopes state and local jobless figures for March, which will be released by the ESC in the coming weeks, will reflect the national improvement. The U.S. Labor Depart-

ment reported last week that American employers added 162,000 net jobs last month, the best performance since the onset of the recession in late 2007. In February, the city of High Point rate slipped down to 11.8 percent from 11.9 percent in January. Davidson County’s unemployment level edged up slightly from 14.1 percent to 14.3 percent, as did Randolph County’s rate from 12.7 percent to 12.9 percent. Guilford County’s rate remained unchanged at 11.8 percent, according to ESC figures. One sobering reflection of the impact of the reces-

sion on the state’s job market – no North Carolina counties had February jobless rates at or below 5 percent, the benchmark for full employment during better times. Since the formal start of the recession in December 2007, the state has shed 6.8 percent of its payroll employment base, or 282,500 positions, reports the Chapel Hill-based research firm South by North Strategies Ltd. The state’s unadjusted unemployment rate has climbed from 4.7 percent in December 2007 to 11.8 percent in February. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

THOMASVILLE – For Jerry Bingham, reports of the Chair City not having a residency policy for employees brought back memories of when he was hired by the Thomasville Police Department nearly 40 years ago. Bingham, who retired from the Thomasville Police Department in 2000, was one of several Thomasville residents who contacted The High Point Enterprise after reading a three-part series concerning the city’s residency policy. Thomasville currently has no policy for its city manager and department heads to live in the city limits, but the Thomasville City Council is reviewing a proposal that could mandate all future department heads and city manager live within its borders. When Bingham was hired by the police department in 1971, he recalls having a conversation with a detective who requested that he move into Davidson County. Back then, Bingham said, it was understood that officers would live in Davidson County, although the city didn’t have a residency policy. So Bingham decided to move

Jerry Bingham was hired by the Thomasville Police Department in 1971. from Randolph County to Davidson County, where he has lived ever since. He said the move into Davidson County was beneficial during his 30 years as a patrolman, as his residence allowed him to be close to the city when he “had a call or had to go in for something.” “I think department heads ought

Thomasville City Manager Kelly Craver reiterated again Wednesday that he wouldn’t release how many employees actually live in Thomasville and surrounding cities. “Legally, I can’t divulge that information from the individual employee’s file,” he said. “I can not. I would be breaking the law.” The High Point Enterprise has not requested specific information from individual employees’ files, only general information as to how many employees live inside the city.

Furloughs raise school board concerns GUILFORD COUNTY – It did not take long for reaction to come this week to the suggested staff furloughs Superintendent Mo Green offered in his proposed 2011 district budget. The $651.5 million plan proposes two-day “salary reductions” for workers earning $25,000 or more. The furloughs could hit classified workers, including assistant teachers and lunchroom workers, the hardest, said Guilford County Board of Education member Jeff Belton. “We need to look at a paycheck to see what a two-day leave would cost,”

State budget changes could impact local schools. 2A Belton said during school board budget discussions on Tuesday. “That could help us empathize.” Board member Kris Cooke suggested raising the salary level to $35,000. The amount of salary increases remains unclear. “We are looking to see what the state does,” Green said. The budget deals with $29 million in anticipated state cuts and seeks more money from county commissioners.

Green said the school board will have to make some difficult decisions. “At some point, even during turbulent times, the needs of our students must come first,” Green said. “This calls on us to persevere for our young people.” Here are some key points: • County contribution – Green wants a $6.4 million increase in the county’s $175 million contribution, $3.4 million more to cover expected expense increases in a growing district and an additional $3 million for repairs and maintenance. “This could be difficult to present to the county

Realtors push National Open House weekend BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Open house events have become the lost art of selling homes in the wave of technology, according to real estate professionals. Following in the footsteps of the National Realtors Association, the High Point Regional Association of Realtors is employing efforts to bring the Nationwide Open House weekend to High Point on Saturday and Sunday. The event is designed to get homebuyers inside of homes rather than viewing them online and to remind potential buyers to take advantage of the federal government’s homebuyer’s tax credit before it runs out at the end of

Man’s murder trial delayed indefinitely

EDC tours mechanical manufacturing facility BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The High Point Economic Development Corp. toured Environmental Air Systems at its monthly meeting Wednesday where business was kept to a minimum. The EDC discussed matters such as the tornadoes that hit High Point last month. A closed session also was held, but no action was taken, according to EDC president Loren Hill. City manager Strib Boynton said the tornado clean-up efforts were coming to an end in the city. “That’s where we are right now,” Boynton

said about the nearcompletion. “We’ve had over 23 volunteer groups to help out, mostly from the faith-based community. Certainly by Friday we’ll have all of the mess cleaned up. That’s just an awesome response.” The annual HPEDC report for 2009 also was distributed to board members at the meeting. Hill told members that the report was not being mailed out this year in order to cut costs, but he said the report was available at city hall for anyone who wanted a copy. The group toured the EAS facility, located at 623 McWay Drive. The company is a full service mechanical con-

tractor and a custombuilt HVAC equipment manufacturer. It opened in Greensboro in 1953 and builds its equipment, which houses major HVAC systems, at its facilities in High Point and Greensboro as well as on-site. Its clients include major health care providers such as Massachusetts General Hospital. “We’re kind of like furniture makers, but we’re doing it with steel,” said William Bullock, executive vice president of the company, about the 6,000 square foot units that the company builds. Bullock said a large portion of their business comes from units that are built in the compa-

ny’s facilities rather than on-site, then taken apart, transported to the job site and reassembled. “We save clients about three months of their schedule by building here instead of on the field,” he said. “We call it parallel construction. The day they break ground, we’re building their bases.” The technology of the units provides ultra-dry air in health care facilities such as operating rooms, he added. “I’ve been here twice,” said Hill about EAS. “It’s always interesting to learn about our clients. I knew this would be a tour that was interesting to everyone.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Public hearing: April 22. BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – The final 2011 school district budget will depend in part on adjustments to the state budget and continued federal funding, Guilford County Schools Superintendent Mo Green said this week.

For the county district that would mean another $10.39 million loss in state funding for a total of $40.18 million. If state budget cuts reach 4 percent, the potential state reduction for the district would increase to $13.86 million, bringing the total for 2010-11 to $43.65 million. “We are not miracle workers, but we need a

miracle now,” Guilford County Board of Education member Jeff Belton said during budget discussions on Tuesday. During the past two years, the district has used attrition and more than $68 million in federal stimulus funds to help pay 750 district staff members. The district also will seek grants to pay for several school improvement projects in the district’s strategic plan,

Green said. “There could be a looming cliff before us if state revenues do not pick up,” Green said, “and if the feds change their funding.” Green laid out his proposed budget cuts in tiers, reflecting the depth of state cuts. So far, he has provided two tiers. To fill the expected additional $9 million gap in state funds, the district will cut administrative expenses by an additional $6 million. Cutbacks will be made in utilities, contracted services, staff development, travel and supplies. Twenty-six full-time positions will be eliminated. “I hope we don’t get to a third tier,” Green said. “I hope the cuts are 3 percent.”

Man who left jail for cigarettes gets 20 years WOODBINE, Ga. (AP) – Authorities say an inmate who broke out of jail, then returned after stealing 14 packs of cigarettes, has been sentenced to 20 years. Prosecutors told The Florida Times-Union inmate Harry Jackson, 26, escaped his cell at the Camden County Jail

last year and went to the exercise yard to retrieve cigarettes he had expected would be tossed over a fence. They say that when the contraband wasn’t there, Jackson scaled the fence, broke a window at a convenience store and grabbed cigarette packs only to be ar-

rested upon his return. Jackson pleaded guilty to burglary and escape charges Monday. Prosecutors say he had been jailed on charges including driving with a suspended license. His lawyer, William Ashe, didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment.

Facebook spat results in school fight MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

KNIGHTDALE – A verbal spat on Facebook preceded a fight at Knightdale High School last week in which the friend of a murder suspect called for another of the suspects to be freed. Dominique Royster’s Facebook page erupted into expletives and insults after Royster called for the release of Mariah Wisdom. Wisdom, 17, her brother Rajal Amed “Dy-

namite� Wisdom, Jr., 22, and their father Rajal Amed Wisdom Sr., 45, have been charged with the first degree murder of Nigel Ellison, 18, a popular Knightdale High School student. Ellison was fatally shot on March 21 in Raleigh. They also were charged with the attempted murder of Kalife I. Johnson. Royster wrote the words on her Facebook page March 23 and three days later, she was attacked in the lunch room at Knight-

dale High School by several students, according to her father, Roger Royster. Four students were cited for misdemeanor assault and released to their parents in connection to the attack on Royster, said Knightdale High School Resource Officer Mark Batey. Dominique Royster said she was friends with Rajal Amed Wisdom Jr. and Mariah Wisdom. She said a member of the school staff who deals with dis-

ciplinary problems was assigned to shadow her as she went through the day March 26, her first day back at school since the murder. Roger Royster said his daughter had received death threats on her cell phone and that he kept her out of school until emotions cooled. He said he talked to school administrators about the situation and that they assured him that they would take appropriate action.

RALEIGH (AP) – The former co-speaker of the North Carolina House has filed an ethics complaint against state Health and Human Services Secretary Lanier Cansler, accusing him of benefiting financially from two no-bid contracts with a firm linked to his old consulting business. Richard Morgan, who filed the complaint the State Ethics Commission

received Tuesday, said the contracts awarded by the department last year to the Carolinas Center for Medical Excellence represent a conflict of interest. The contracts are valued at $30 million. Cansler used to work for a consulting firm that has the Carolinas Center as its client. Cansler still receives monthly payments

from the consulting firm he left when he became a member of Gov. Beverly Perdue’s Cabinet in early 2009, a department spokeswoman said Wednesday night. “It just smells of being wrong,� Morgan said in an interview. The Moore County Republican, who was co-speaker from 200304, is now running for the

state Senate and has a primary next month. Cansler believes Morgan’s complaint is without merit and filed purely for political reasons.

Boston man gets 8 years’ labor in N. Korea SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea sentenced a Boston man to eight years of hard labor and ordered him to pay a $700,000 fine for crossing into the country illegally earlier this year, state media reported. Aijalon Mahli Gomes, 30, was the fourth American detained by North Korea for illegal entry in less than a year. Journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee were held for five months before their release last August, and activist Robert Park was expelled some 40 days after crossing into the country last Christmas.

BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan (AP) – Opposition leaders declared they had seized power in Kyrgyzstan, taking control of security headquarters, a state TV channel and other government buildings after clashes between police and protesters killed dozens in this Central Asian nation. President Kurmanbek Bakiyev was said to have fled to the southern city of Osh, and it was difficult to gauge how much of the impoverished, mountainous country the opposition controlled Wednesday.

Israel, US have not settled Jerusalem spat JERUSALEM – Israel’s prime minister acknowledged Wednesday that his government has yet to iron out its differences with the U.S. over Israeli construction in east Jerusalem, a dispute that has stalled American efforts to restart Mideast peace talks. Benjamin Netanyahu said both countries are still working to find a solution but staunchly defended his government’s contentious settlement plans in the disputed holy city.

Pain from torrent in Rio falls heavily on slums RIO DE JANEIRO – Rodrigo de Almeira had dug for 15 hours through mud and debris, and he looked like it.

Jamaican accused of raping, burying teen alive KINGSTON, Jamaica – A taxi driver has been accused of raping a 12-year-old girl and then burying her alive after he thought he had strangled her to death, authorities said Wednesday. Garsha Wilson faces charges including rape, abduction, attempted murder and cruelty to a child, Deputy Police Superintendent Herfa Beckford said. Wilson abducted the girl last month at a bus station in the capital, Kingston.

Rescuers in fading bid to save 26 from mine XIANGNING, China – Rescuers pumped water Thursday in a fading bid to find more survivors in a flooded mine in northern China where 115 miners were dramatically rescued this week after being trapped for eight days. The confirmed death toll rose to 12 early today, the state-run Xinhua News Agency reported. Some 26 miners are believed trapped in two areas and there have been no further signs of life.

Thai leader declares a state of emergency BANGKOK – Thailand’s beleaguered prime minister declared a state of emergency to quell weeks of paralyzing protests costing businesses tens of millions of dollars. But the demonstrators championing the rights of the rural poor remained uncowed, and whether the showdown can end without violence is unknown. Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva acted after mostly peaceful protests escalated Wednesday when demonstrators burst into parliament and forced lawmakers to flee on ladders over a back wall, with senior officials hastily evacuated by helicopter.

Bill Clinton in Saudi Arabia, meets with king RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – The Saudi state news agency SPA says former U.S. President Bill Clinton is in Saudi Arabia to visit the Saudi King. The agency says Clinton met with King Abdullah and a group of Saudi dignitaries Wednesday evening. The purpose of the former president’s visit to the conservative, oil-rich kingdom was not immediately known.

Bombing of NATO tanker in Pakistan kills boy PESHAWAR, Pakistan – A bomb attached to a tanker carrying fuel to NATO forces in Afghanistan exploded in northwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, destroying the vehicle and killing a boy who was riding in a van behind it. The blast occurred when the tanker was just 4 miles from the Afghan border in the Khyber tribal area, said local administrator Iqbal Khan. The explosion wounded four other passengers in the van, he said. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

“The security service and the Interior Ministry ... all of them are already under the management of new people,” Rosa Otunbayeva, a former foreign minister who the opposition leaders said would head the interim government, told the Russianlanguage Mir TV channel. The opposition has called for the closure of the U.S. air base in Manas outside the capital of Bishkek that is a key transit point for supplies essential to the war in nearby Afghanistan.

Karzai seen moving to ease US tensions KABUL (AP) – President Hamid Karzai’s spokesman gave assurances Wednesday that the Afghanistan’s government is committed to the fight against the Taliban, denying published reports the Afghan leader threatened to join the insurgents unless the U.S. and its allies ease up on pressure to reform. The government also announced the resignation of the head of the country’s election commission, which was widely criticized for its management of last year’s fraud-marred presidential balloting. The U.S. and its international partners had been urging a shake-up in the electoral system before parliamentary elections in September.

Al-Sadr’s movement backs neither front-runner BAGHDAD (AP) – The two front-runners vying to become Iraq’s next prime minister failed to get the support of an influential Shiite movement in results from a poll released Wednesday, further muddying the political situation following inconclusive March elections. Instead, the bulk of supporters of antiAmerican cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who has emerged as a kingmaker, said he should back Shiite politician Ibrahim al-Jaafari, who was interim prime minister from 2005 to 2006.

4 children, 1 adult die in Kentucky fire SULPHUR WELL, Ky. – A pre-dawn fire killed four children and an adult Wednesday in a rural Kentucky mobile home with 14 people inside. The blaze destroyed or damaged three mobile homes where one family resided – one used for living space, the other two for storage, said Kentucky State Police Capt. Greg Baird. Seven people were taken to a hospital in Glasgow with non lifethreatening injuries.

Sudanese man sues after Gitmo release SEATTLE – A Sudanese aid worker freed from Guantanamo Bay in 2007 sued U.S. government officials Wednesday over what he called his forced disappearance and torture. Lawyers for Adel Hassan Hamad, 52, filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Seattle seeking damages for ongoing physical and emotional problems and compensation for lost wages and loss of reputation. It names as defendants nearly two dozen current and former U.S. officials, including Defense Secretary Robert Gates and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Gas stops rescuers from entering mine MONTCOAL, W.Va. (AP) – Two full days after the worst U.S. mining disaster in a generation, dangerous gases underground prevented rescuers Wednesday from venturing into the Upper Big Branch coal mine to search for any survivors of the explosion that killed at least 25 workers. Crews drilled holes deep into the ground to release the gases, but by late afternoon the levels of lethal carbon monoxide and highly explosive hydrogen and methane remained far too high for searchers to look for the last four people missing. “We just can’t take any chances� with the lives of rescuers, said Kevin Stricklin of the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration. “If we’re going to send a rescue team, we have to say it’s safe for them to go in there.� Officials could not say when rescuers might be able to go in. Stricklin said relatives of the miners backed the decision to hold off for now.

Massey Energy workers (from left) Maurice Blanchette, Jimmy Shortridge, Brandon Waddell and Andrew Lucas take a break from drilling efforts in Montcoal, W.Va., Wednesday. “We’ve asked the families to be patient,� he said. Gov. Joe Manchin and others saw only a “sliver of hope� that the miners survived by reaching one of the shaft’s rescue chambers, which are stocked

with food, water and enough oxygen to last four days. Workers planned to drill another hole so they could lower a camera into one of the airtight chambers to see if anyone managed to get inside.

“We’ve been working against long odds from day one,� Manchin warned. The federal mine agency appointed a team of investigators to look into the blast, which officials said may have been caused by

a buildup of methane. The mine’s owner, Massey Energy Co., has been repeatedly cited for problems with the system that vents methane and for allowing combustible dust to build up.

Sheriff’s association, Bingham push bad bill “Constitutional change” was the headline on the front page of the March 19 issue of The High Point Enterprise. Seems the North Carolina Sheriff’s Association reaffirmed its support for Senate Bill 351. It was introduced in March of 2009 by State Sen. Stan Bingham, R-Davidson, and would prohibit felons from becoming a sheriff in North Carolina. However, the General Assembly of North Carolina in its May session would have to approve Senate Bill 351 before it could go before voters in the Nov. 2 general election. Gerald Hege, who is seeking the Republican nomination in the May 4 primary, was in 2004 indicted on 15 felony charges, has since finished his three-year court ordered probation that stemmed from his guilty pleas to the two felony counts of obstruction of justice. As Hege’s probation ended at midnight on May 16, 2007, his citizenship was restored, plus Hege’s right to vote or run for office was restored. I, with more than 4,000 other Davidson County residents, have no problem with Hege running for sheriff of Davidson County. REID JOYCE High Point

Everyone in Congress isn’t ‘bum’ needing defeat In recent months, opposition to the current administration’s agenda has mutated into an antiincumbent backlash. Congressional approval ratings hover in the low teens and Americans appear generally willing to “kick the bums out” come November. Across many districts in this country anger at incumbents is justified; they have not accurately represented what their constituents have asked for. But not in the 6th District of North Carolina. Our congressman, Republican Rep. Howard Coble, has for years represented our district, stood up for our interests, and protected our values. Howard, as he would undoubtedly beg of me to address him, is a true conservative who stood up against the wasteful stimulus, the trillion dollar cap-and-trade legislation, and Speaker Pelosi’s reckless health care bill. On May 4, North Carolinians will vote in the primary elections. Rather than going to the polls in a blanket attempt to remove the

Don’t cloud smoking ban issue ecognize that state Rep. Jerry Dockham’s vow to fight to repeal the law that prohibits smoking in certain public places plays well in Davidson County for his re-election campaign. The smoking ban makes almost all indoor areas of restaurants and bars in the state smoke-free, and business owners who don’t comply with the law are fined if they ignore warnings. To Dockham, we say give it a rest. Restaurants and bars are considerably, even dramatically, more comfortable for the majority of folks who don’t smoke than they were before they were smokefree. Besides, the law should remain in place at least for several years so its benefits, healthful or otherwise – or lack of them – more accurately can be measured. Some restaurants may, in the short term, notice degrees of negative impact on business during the first quarter of 2010 with the smoking ban taking effect Jan. 2. But by mid-year, that impact should be minimal. That appears to have been the case with restaurants that went smoke-free a few months, even several months, before the smoking ban took effect. If some bars and restaurants continue to see business decline, more than likely it will be because of factors other than the smoking ban. Besides, Dockham and his colleagues in the General Assembly have many more pressing issues with which to deal than wasting time pushing a feel-good-to-someconstituents bill that most likely won’t gain much ground. Meanwhile, enjoy the fresh air.

What’s difference between Christian and Muslim terrorists?

A

few words about Christian terrorism. And I suppose the first words should be about “those” words: “Christian terrorism.” The term will seem jarring to those who’ve grown comfortable regarding terrorism as something exclusive to Islam. That this is a self-deluding fallacy should have long since been apparent to anyone who’s been paying attention. From Eric Rudolph’s bombing of the Atlanta Olympics, a gay nightclub and two abortion clinics to the so-called Phineas Priests who bombed banks, a newspaper and a Planned Parenthood Office in Spokane, from Matt Hale soliciting the murder of a federal judge in Chicago to Scott Roeder’s assassination of abortion provider Dr. George Tiller, from brothers Matthew and Tyler Williams murdering a gay couple near Redding, Calif., to Timothy McVeigh destroying a federal building and 168 lives in Oklahoma City, we have seen no shortage of “Christians” who believe Jesus requires – or at least allows – them to commit murder. If federal officials are correct, we now have one more name to add to the dishonor roll. That name would be Hutaree, a self-styled Christian militia in Michigan, nine members of which have been arrested and accused of plotting to kill police officers in hopes of sparking an anti-government uprising. Many of us would doubtless resist referring to plots like this as Christian terrorism, feeling it unfair to tar the great body of Christendom with the actions of its fringe radicals. And here, we will pause for Muslim readers to clear their throats loudly. While they do, let the rest of us note that there is a larger moral to this story and it has less to do with terminologies than similarities. We are conditioned to think of terror wrought by Islamic fundamentalists as something strange and alien and other. It is the violence of men with long beards who jabber in weird languages and kill for mysterious reasons while worshipping God in ways that seem outlandish to middle American sensibilities. And whatever quirk of nature or deficiency of humanity it is that allows

them to do what they do, is, we think, unique. There is, we are pleased to believe, a hard, immutable line between us and Them. Then you consider Hutaree and its alleged plan to kill in the name of God, and the idea of some innate, saving difference between us and OPINION those bearded others in other places begins to feel like a fiction we Leonard conjured to help us sleep at night. Pitts “Preparing for the end time bat■■■ tles to keep the testimony of Jesus Christ alive,” it says on Hutaree’s Web site. And you wonder: who is this Jesus they worship and in what Bible is he found? Why does he bear so little resemblance to the Jesus others find in their Bibles, the one who said that if someone hits you on your right cheek, offer him your left, the one who said if someone forces you to go one mile with him, go two, the one who said love your enemies. Why does their Jesus need the help of men in camo fatigues with guns and bombs? In this, he is much like the Allah for whom certain Muslims blow up marketplaces and crowded buses. Muslim and American terrorists, it seems, both apparently serve a puny and impotent God who can’t do anything without their help. Sometimes, I think the only thing that keeps us from becoming, say, Afghanistan, is a strong central government and a diverse population with a robust tradition of free speech. The idea that there is something more is a conceit that blows apart like confetti every time there is, as there is now, a sense of cultural dislocation and economic uncertainty. That combination unfailingly moves people out to the fringes where they seek out scapegoats and embrace that feeble God. And watching, you can’t help but realize the troubling truth about that line between “us” and “Them.” It’s thinner than you think.

My residence sustained a lot of damage with my wife and daughter inside. When things calmed after the tornado, two carloads of High Point University students pulled up in front of my residence and asked me and the other officers there if they could help. In the pouring rain, these young men put there own lives on hold and came to help. I saw these same young men the next two days working in my neighbor’s yards helping out.

Looking at all the pictures and videos of the damaged homes from the March 28 tornadoes, I see one major problem in their construction. One house was lifted from the foundation, leaving the foundation untouched, and the house was demolished. Another house had the second floor turn over 30 degrees while the first floor/level was untouched. These houses appear to have been built in pieces and never tied together as a whole structure. According to building code, all beach houses are required to be bolted or anchored to the foundation, the floors/levels of the houses are bolted together, and the roof is bolted onto the house. Nails are chosen that will withstand wind and keep the structure whole. Either we need to rethink our building code, or builders need to offer the option of a safer house. This time, thanks to our weathermen and God, no one was killed, but we may not be so lucky the next time a tornado, tropical storm or hurricane blows through. MARILYNN BYERLY High Point

ll of High Point has watched in disbelief the damage caused by the Palm Sunday tornadoes in our city. I am reminded of a story that Max Lucado tells in the preface of his inspirational classic, “In the Eye of the Storm.� The story goes that Chippie the parakeet never saw it coming. One second, he was peacefully perched in his cage. The next was nothing short of disaster. You see, Chippie’s owner decided to clean Chippie’s cage with a vacuum cleaner, and just as she stuck the end of the hose in the cage, the phone rang. She turned to answer it and – you guessed it – Chippie got sucked in. The bird’s owner quickly put down the phone, turned off the vacuum, and opened the bag. There was Chippie – still alive but stunned. Since the bird was covered with dust and dirt, the owner grabbed him, raced to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and held Chippie under the running water. Realizing that Chippie was now soaked and shivering, she reached for the hair dryer and blasted the poor bird with hot air. Poor Chippie never knew what hit him. A few days later, a reporter contacted Chippie’s owner after hearing about the trauma to see how the bird was recovering. “Well,� the owner replied, “Chippie doesn’t sing much anymore – he just sits and stares.� Of course he does! Being sucked in, washed up, and blown over is enough to steal anyone’s song, don’t you think? And yet, I have been so very proud of my fellow High Pointers in their thankfulness for lives spared and their resolve to rebuild and carry on.

Fat-melting injections get FDA scrutiny WASHINGTON – The Food and Drug Administration is cracking down on what are billed as fatmelting injections used in spas across the U.S., saying the drugs have not been proven safe or effective. Lipodissolve injections, a popular nonsurgical alternative to liposuction, are used to dissolve small fat deposits around the legs, arms and belly. The FDA said Wednesday the drugs have not been cleared by federal scientists, as required by law.

Teenager accuses mom of Facebook harassment

4 rescued from Boston high-rise fire BOSTON (AP) – Four people were rescued and taken to a hospital Wednesday after a fire at a 10-story Boston condominium building, fire officials said. Investigators believe the blaze at a building in Boston’s Back Bay began in a seventh-floor unit with smoke quickly spreading to the eighth floor, said Boston Fire Chief Ronald Keating.

He said the cause of the fire remains under investigation. After firefighters arrived at the scene, Keating said residents on the lower floors escaped down stairways while residents on the top three floors were brought to the roof of the building that is more than 100 years old. “We had a tremendous amount of difficulty moving inside the

building because the building is so old,� with narrow stairways, said Keating after the fire was put out. It was unclear how many of the building’s 174 residents were home when the fire broke out in the early afternoon; Keating said many of them are college and university students.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The mother of a 16-yearold boy said she was only being a good mom when she locked him out of his Facebook account after reading he had driven home at 95 mph one night because he was mad at a girl. His response: a harassment complaint at the local courthouse. “If I’m found guilty on this it is going to be open season� on parents, Denise New said Wednesday.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Taliban released a video Wednesday of a man identified as an American soldier captured in Afghanistan last June, showing him pleading for his freedom and to be returned home. In the video, Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl says he wants to return to his family in Idaho and that the war in Afghanistan is not worth the number of lives that have been lost or wasted in prison. It is the first he has been seen since the Taliban released a video of him on Christmas Day. The seven-minute video of Bergdahl shows him sporting a beard and doing a few push-ups to demonstrate he’s in good physical condition. There was no way to verify when the footage was taken or if he is still alive. Bergdahl disappeared June 30 while based in eastern Afghanistan and is the only known American serviceman in captivity. The Taliban claimed his capture in a video released in mid-July that showed the soldier appearing downcast and frightened.

Council takes action to demolish six structures BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The High Point City Council took action this week to address a lengthy backlog of blighted properties. The council adopted ordinances to demolish six structures that have been deemed substandard based on numerous minimum housing code violations. Due to the deteriorated condition of the dwellings, the associated blight on the neighborhoods in which they’re located and the fact that the cost to repair them would exceed 50 percent of their tax value, city inspectors issued

orders to repair or demolish them. “Two of these properties are in my ward. When you talk about a blight on the neighborhood, these properties are a blight on the neighborhood,” said Councilwoman Bernita Sims. “I am not in favor of extending the deadlines on these.” The council did grant the owner of one of the properties a reprieve by giving Garland Ellison 60 days to complete repairs at 906 Richardson Ave. Ellison told the council he wants to keep the property and that he has obtained permits for repair work. City inspectors flagged numer-

ous minimum housing code violations, including a leaking roof, sagging rafters and an unsafe electrical system. The other properties are: • 1700 A and B Brockett Ave., owned by David S. Horne. Inspectors found four major and 20 minor violations at the property, which is a vacant and secure twounit duplex. Building permits were obtained in September 2009, but no inspections have been requested. • 1706 A and B Brockett Ave., also owned by Horne. Inspectors noted 29 major and minor violations. The property is vacant but not secure and has attracted va-

grant activity, according to the city. • 206 W. Springfield Road, owned by Hazel P. Land, which was flagged for 31 code violations, and is vacant and secure. • 208 W. Springfield Road, owned by Ronald M. Mason, which was flagged for 25 minor code violations. The owner applied for a demolition permit in March 2009 but did not obtain the permit, according to the city. • 913 Grant St., owned by David Horne and Mickey Horne. City officials reported that the owners intend to demolish the property. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Forum focus turns to inmate’s death Inside...

House district candidates express views. 3B

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Discussion resurfaced on the death of a Davidson County jail inmate in 2006 at a candidates forum on Tuesday. Thomasville resident Barney W. Hill asked incumbent Sheriff David Grice to discuss what progress has been made since the death of Carlos Claros-Castro, a Honduran immigrant who died during a struggle with

two Davidson County Sheriff’s Office jail detention officers. The forum was held at Piedmont Crossing Retirement Community Center in Thomasville. Candidates for the 80th and 81st house districts, as well as Register of Deeds, also attended the forum. Hill also questioned Terry Price, a retired state trooper running for sheriff, on why he hadn’t mentioned the killing during his campaign. Hill said Price had discussed the death during his run for sheriff in 2006. Claros-Castro died after a struggle with two jail detention officers, who later were sentenced to prison terms for involuntary

manslaughter. ClarosCastro’s family filed a $100 million lawsuit against Davidson County in November 2006, arguing that inadequate staffing levels and training and inattention to excessive force contributed to the inmate’s death. A settlement was made between the county and Claros-Castro’s family in 2008, with the county paying a $1 million settlement to the family through its insurer, county officials previously confirmed. Claros-Castro was in custody at the Davidson County jail on traffic-related charges when he had an altercation with jailers Brandon Huie and Ronald Parker. A wrongful death

lawsuit claimed ClarosCastro was beaten “maliciously and sadistically” by the two jailers, who used their fists and metal batons. Price and Grice, the only two Republican candidates who participated in the forum, discussed the case for several minutes. “We know that two officers entered into a jail cell and as a result of that, there was a homicide and as a result of that, two officers went to prison,” Price said. “Not a very good day in law enforcement at all. If you are in law enforcement, I don’t care what aspect or what department, that reflected negatively on you and that department ... What has changed?

I don’t think anything has changed.” Grice disagreed. “The policies have changed and we have doubled the manpower in the jail since then,” he said. “We have increased training. We have access to interpreters ... There certainly have been many changes made, but too many to elaborate right here.” Grice also said the sheriff’s office cooperated fully with the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation during its investigation. Other than the Claros-Castro case, Price and Grice presented their qualifications for office and discussed the sheriff’s office budget. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Forsyth County’s reading of 9,632 grains on Tuesday was the highest level since the county began recording pollen counts in 1997.

House candidates address school merger Elsewhere...

----

Sheriff’s forum. 1B BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Candidates for the 80th and 81st house districts expressed their views about a possible merger of the three school systems in Davidson County during a candidates forum on Tuesday at Piedmont Crossing Retirement Community. State Rep. Jerry Dockham, R-Davidson, and his challenger, Denton Republican Dick Johnson, attended the forum. Dockham is hoping to fend off a challenge from Johnson in the May 4 primary to keep his 80th House District seat. Republican Rayne Brown, a candidate looking to challenge incumbent Hugh Holliman once again in the 81st House District race in November, also attended the forum. Republican Fred McClure, who faces Brown in the primary, was not present at the forum. Candidates for both

house districts were questioned about how they felt about a possible merger of Lexington City Schools, Davidson County Schools and Thomasville City Schools. The idea of merging the school systems into one has been discussed by state legislators for several years. For the past three years, Thomasville City Schools has been part of a consortium aimed at preventing mergers between city and county school systems. The consortium is made up of all 15 of the state’s city school systems, including Asheboro City Schools and Lexington City Schools, that are hoping to prevent a merger or any trimming of funds by state legislators. Dockham said he had discussed a possible school merger with all of the school superintendents in the county. “All of us in the delegation right now feel that we would really like for all three systems to sit down and work this out within themselves,� Dockham said. “That would be the smoothest way to do it. We know that it’s coming ... The

FORT BRAGG (AP) – Prosecutors contended Wednesday that science finally caught up to a soldier accused of killing a mother and her two daughters 25 years ago in their North Carolina home. But a defense attorney countered that new DNA evidence may really only show that 52-yearold Master Sgt. Timothy Hennis was having an affair with the woman and had nothing to do with the slayings. “Does the evidence take you beyond adultery to murder?� lawyer Frank Spinner asked the 14-member military jury during his closing arguments. “You should follow that evidence wherever it leads you, no matter how uncomfortable it may make you.� Jurors deliberated about one hour Wednesday before breaking for the night. Their work follows three weeks of testimony in the trial, which is the third Hennis has faced since the slayings. He is charged with three counts of premeditated murder and could face the death penalty if the jury is unanimous with a conviction and sentence. Deliberations were to continue Thursday morning. Hennis was first convicted in state court but won an appeal and was acquitted in a second trial. He couldn’t be tried in state court again, so prosecutors brought the case to the Army after more advanced scientific testing determined

Hennis’ DNA was inside 31-year-old Kathryn Eastburn. Hennis had retired but was forced back into service to face the charges. Hennis has been calm throughout the proceedings, quietly taking notes and meeting the gaze of prosecutors. He did not testify. He had adopted the Eastburns’ dog several days before the killings and was arrested four days after the bodies of Eastburn and her 5year-old and 3-year-old daughters were found in their Fayetteville home in 1985. Eastburn’s husband, Air Force Capt. Gary Eastburn, was in Alabama at squadron officers training school at the time. Prosecutor Capt. Matthew Scott said Hennis might have been able to clean up the crime scene back then, but he couldn’t clean up his DNA. “The person that slaughtered her, raped her — the person that raped her left his sperm,� Scott said. But Spinner stressed that no other physical evidence, including hair, fingerprints and a bloody towel found in the home, has been linked to Hennis. A defense expert testified during the trial that Hennis and the victim could have been intimate days before the killings. “Their lives intersected with evil that night, but Sergeant Timothy Hennis was not the man that did these things,� Spinner said.

PARKERSBURG, W.Va. – “Fore!â€? Whoops ‌ that golf ball just made a smash landing right in your living room. Whether a stray softball or a ladder that slips and goes through a window, it’s important to know in advance how to safely handle broken window glass. As part of National Window Safety Week, the experts at Simonton Windows offer the following tips for handling broken window glass: • Do not pick up broken pieces of glass with bare hands. Put on heavy leath-

er or safety gloves before handling glass pieces and try to sweep or vacuum up as much of the broken glass as possible without touching it. • Never walk in bare feet around broken glass. Put on close-toe shoes before starting any clean up efforts involving glass. • Make certain children and pets are kept outside the area where the broken glass is located before beginning a cleanup project. • If a window breaks, make sure to check for broken glass inside the home, within the frame of the window and outside the win-

dow area on the ground. • To clean up small particles of glass, use several thicknesses of wet paper towels and then discard safely. Cloth napkins, cloth towels, sponges or ordinary mops should not be used for clean up because they can harbor tiny glass particles. • To dispose of glass, carefully put it in a durable container (such as a

as a temporary fix. • If the glass in a window gets broken, do not replace the glass yourself. Some windows have insulating glass units that contain harmless Argon gas that helps in the window’s energy efficiency. A replacement unit should be ordered and installed by a professional that perfectly matches the original window.

Answers to herpes questions

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I am looking for information about herpes. One question is about kissing; can you get it that way? What medicines control the virus? Is it OK to have sex with protection? When a person has genital herpes, can there also be a breakout on the mouth? What should two people with herpes do to prevent the spread? – T.Y.

BLONDIE

Two herpes viruses exist – herpesvirus type 1, HSV-1, and herpesvirus type 2, HSV-2. HSV-1 is mainly responsible for cold sores (fever blisters). HSV-2 is the major cause of genital infections. Both are transmitted through close physical contact with an infected person, and HSV-1 also can be transmitted by contact with oral secretions. Kissing spreads HSV-1. HSV-1 can be transmitted to the genitals through oral sex, and HSV-2 can be transmitted to the mouth in the same way. These infections last for life and tend to recur. Ninety percent of adults have been infected with the HSV-1 virus by age 40. HSV-2 infects about onequarter of adults. It is not only OK to have sex with protection, but protection is encouraged. Condoms are not 100 percent effective, but they greatly lessen the possibility of spread. When there is a visible outbreak of herpes, infected people ought not to have sexual relations. Much infection, however, is transmitted when there is no visible outbreak, so condom use is

important at those times. I don’t understand your question about simulHEALTH taneous outbreak of herpes on Dr. Paul the genitals Donohue and mouth. ■■■ I suppose it happens, but it’s rare. Genital herpes doesn’t cause an oral outbreak, if that’s what you meant. Medicines shorten the period of a breakout and can suppress frequent breakouts if one experiences many relapses. They can also prevent spread. Two people who are infected can pass their own special strain of herpes to each other, so they should use condom protection when they have sexual relations. They also should use protection when having sex with noninfected partners, and they should tell all partners that they are infected. Dear Dr. Donohue: My son has Alzheimer’s disease. The doctors want him to be tested for Huntington’s disease. I never heard of it. Is there such a disease? – K.G. Huntington’s disease is an inherited illness. Only one gene, either from the mother or father, is needed to transfer it to their children. The signs of it come on at an earlier age than do the signs of Alzheimer’s disease. They usually appear between 25 and 45. Perhaps this is why

the doctors want to check your son for it. A principal sign of Huntington’s is involuntary movements of the legs, arms, head and body. The movements gave this illness its other name, Huntington’s chorea. “Chorea” is a Greek word for “dance.” Personality changes are also common. There is no cure. Medicines can control some symptoms. Xenazine is a new medicine designed to control the involuntary movements. The Huntington’s Disease Society of America provides people with the latest information and gives them resources that are in their local area. The Web site is www.hdsa.org, and the toll-free number is 800345-HDSA. Dear Dr. Donohue: What can you tell me about the medicine called levodopa-carbidopa? – P.L. It’s a medicine for Parkinson’s disease. A brand name is Sinemet. The signs of Parkinson’s occur because certain brain cells become depleted of dopamine, a chemical messenger. This medicine restores brain cell dopamine and controls many Parkinson’s signs.

DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi talks about health care reform during a news conference after she spoke to the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco on Tuesday.

FBI arrests man for threatening Pelosi SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – The FBI arrested a California man Wednesday for allegedly making threatening and harassing phone calls to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over health care reform, law enforcement officials said. Gregory Lee Giusti, 48, was arrested at his San Francisco home shortly after noon, said Joseph Schadler, spokesman for the FBI’s San Francisco office.

Schadler did not disclose the charges against Giusti, but said he’s due before a federal magistrate this morning. Several federal officials said the man made dozens of calls to Pelosi’s homes in California and Washington, as well as to her husband’s business office. They said he recited her home address and said if she wanted to see it again, she would not support the health care

overhaul bill that since has been enacted. One official said the man is believed to have spoken directly with Pelosi at least once. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case publicly. On Monday, the House Speaker told a reporters in San Francisco that “people have been active in expressing their disagreement.”

Shuttle Discovery arrives at space station CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) – Space shuttle Discovery successfully docked at the International Space Station early Wednesday, its astronauts overcoming a rare antenna breakdown that knocked out radar tracking. Shuttle commander Alan Poindexter and his crew relied on other navigation devices to approach the orbiting outpost. “You guys are looking beautiful,”

Japanese space station resident Soichi Noguchi radioed as the shuttle drew within 660 feet, loaded down with supplies. The two spacecraft came together 215 miles above the Caribbean, precisely on time. It was only the second time that a shuttle had to dock with the space station without any radar. The first was 10 years ago. Poindexter trained for just such

an event two weeks ago. As he closed in on the final 150 feet, he radioed, “It’s a lot of fun.” Flight director Richard Jones said the flying was flawless. “The crew made it look easy,” he told reporters. One of the first matters of business for the 13 space fliers – once the hatches swung open – was transmitting detailed laser images of Discovery to Mission Control in Houston.

NEW YORK (AP) – Bristol Palin says that if girls knew how tough it was to be a mom, they’d think twice about having sex. The 19year-old says she has chosen B. Palin to practice abstinence herself, until marriage. Bristol Palin, who once said it was unrealistic to ask young people to abstain from sex, said in an interview that it’s realistic for her personally. “I know it’s realistic to ask myself that, because I know I’m not going to until I’m married,” she said.

NEW YORK (AP) – Tennis great Martina Navratilova has been diagnosed with a noninvasive form of breast cancer and her prognosis is considered exNavratilova cellent. Navratilova said on Wednesday a routine mammogram in January found a lump, and a biopsy the following month determined it was ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS. The ninetime Wimbledon singles champion had a lumpectomy in March and will start six weeks of radiation next month. “It was such a shock for me,” Navratilova said. “It was my 9/11.”

LOS ANGELES – As NBC executives start to figure out what shows deserve to come back next fall, its Tuesday night dramedy “Parenthood” is starting to quietly make a case for a second season. The 10 p.m. program, which is NBC’s second attempt to turn the hit Steve Martin movie into a TV series, beat “The Good Wife” in the coveted 18-49 demographic Tuesday. It was the first time since “Parenthood” premiered a month go that it beat a new episode of the CBS freshman drama headto-head in that category. Last week, a new “Parenthood” beat a repeat of “The Good Wife.” In terms of viewers, it is still no contest. “The Good Wife” had 12 million watching Tuesday, compared with 6.3 million for “Parenthood,” according to Nielsen. The ratings for “Parenthood” have been all over the map since its March 2 premiere, but the last few weeks have seen some stabilization. Helped by heavy hype during NBC’s Olympics coverage, the show launched with 8.1 million viewers and a 3.1 rating in adults 18-49 (each rating point in that demo equals 1.3 million viewers). It dropped the following two weeks, hitting a low of 5.8 million viewers and a 2.3 in the demo on March 16. Some may have been ready to throw in the towel on “Parenthood” at that point, but it rebounded on March 23 with 7 million viewers and a 2.7 in adults 18-49. Perhaps fans of “The Good Wife,” which was in repeats that Tuesday, checked out “Parenthood” and now some are starting to stick around.

SEQUEL POSTPONED

–

Broadway will have to wait a bit longer to find out what happens to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom. The producers of “Love Never Dies” announced this week that the sequel to “The Phantom of the Opera” will now open in New York in spring 2011 instead of this November. As a reason, they cited the composer’s “postoperative problems” following his successful surgery for prostate cancer last year. According to the statement, Lloyd Webber’s doctors have advised him not to travel long distances by air “until the problem has been investigated.” No further details were provided. In the meantime, he will work on “Over the Rainbow,” a BBC reality television series in which a young woman will be chosen to play Dorothy in Lloyd Webber’s London stage version of “The Wizard of Oz.” “I am extremely frustrated that I cannot travel to New York for the time being,” Lloyd Webber said in a statement. “I will be focusing my time on producing ‘The Wizard of Oz’ in London now and plan to be available for the creative process of bringing ’Love Never Dies’ to Broadway as soon as possible.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Hamm and Seth Green are helping to deconstruct “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” The stars are part of “Curb: The Discussion,” a TV Guide Network com-

panion series to “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” The Larry David comedy is coming to the network in June. A celebrity panel will watch each episode of the comedy and discuss ethi-

cal issues raised by the unorthodox behavior of David’s character. “Curb Your Enthusiasm” cast member Susie Essman moderates the panels, with Hill Harper, Dave Navarro and Dr.

Drew Pinsky among those set to take part. The HBO-originated series was created by David. It also stars Cheryl Hines and Jeff Garlin. David was the co-creator of “Seinfeld.”

If something isn’t on your terms, chances are you will not be happy with the result. Don’t compensate for someone’s inexperience. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Dig deep and you’ll find the information you need to avoid making a poor decision. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Exaggeration is the enemy and doing flawless research is your guiding light. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can make some professional changes that will allow you to raise your income, but counting on money before it’s actually in your hand is not a good idea. An old friend may ask for a loan or donation. Offer time, not money. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your ability to act fast and counter any deals that may affect your status quo will be your saving grace. Someone from your past who has expertise and the experience you need, will be able to help you. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t believe everything you are told. Do your homework. Travel and getting involved in activities that promote love will be life-changing. Don’t give in to anyone pestering you for money or possessions. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may try to get the most for the least but, in the end, it will cost you personally. Concentrate on getting to know people with something to offer that motivates you. Fix up your home – the pleasure derived will outweigh any distaste at the work you experienced. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t let anyone’s negative attitude slow you down or stand in your way. You have to do what’s best for you. Follow your heart and you will achieve your goals and meet people who want to share your success with you. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Trying to avoid emotional problems will only make matters worse. Honesty will be a must if you don’t want to face criticism. A dispute over money can ruin a relationship. Have a workable solution in mind. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Set the ground rules and stick to them. Entertaining the people you enjoy most will also enhance your relationships. Your knowledge and expertise will lead to deals requiring your skills. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t be too quick to share your deepest thoughts or you will end up in a vulnerable position. Face facts when dealing with people who are too complimentary. Not everyone has your best interest at heart. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): By not sharing your secrets, you will avoid worrying about what others think and how they will react. Diplomacy will help you through the day and enable you to bypass any difficulty. Less can be more if you are smart, precise and stick to a budget. ★★★

“What a lazybones that Cy is,” Rose said to me. “He has that habit of ‘resting before he gets tired.’ ” “He says he once had a job,” I shrugged. “I’ll bet it was tough to find fault with his work,” Rose observed, “since he probably never did any.” Cy the Cynic’s laziness shows up most often when he’s declarer. Against today’s slam, West led the ten of diamonds: queen, king, ace. Cy took the lazy way out by drawing trumps and finessing with the jack of clubs. West won and cashed a diamond.

HIGH TRUMP Cy should make the effort – and it doesn’t take much effort – to set up a long heart in dummy. He takes the ace at Trick Two, ruffs a heart with a high trump, leads the eight of trumps to dummy’s nine and ruffs a heart high. When both defenders follow, Cy leads the five of trumps to the king and ruffs a heart high. He can get back by leading the deuce of trumps to the three and cash the good heart for his 12th trick.

Yes, a trump opening lead would beat the slam.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K 9 3 H A 6 5 3 2 D Q 5 C 10 7 3. The dealer, at your left, opens one heart. Your partner doubles, and the next player passes. What do you say? ANSWER: Bid 1NT, showing six to nine points with at least one trick in the opening bidder’s suit. This descriptive response will let you reach a game if you have one. To pass for penalty would be an error. To pass, you’d need solid hearts such as Q-J10-9-7 plus a good hand. South dealer Both sides vulnerable

---

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

The record owner(s) of the Property as reflected in the records of the Guilford County Public Registry not more than ten (10) days prior to the posting of this Notice is/are: Jon H. White and Jane E. White. Pursuant to North Carolina General Statutes 45-21.8, the sale of the Property may be made by whole or by tract in the discretion of the Substitute Trustee. Further, the Substitute Trustee may offer for sale any and all personal property as permitted by the Deed of Trust in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes 25-9604, 25-9-610, and 25-9-611, in whole, as individual items, or together with the Property as the Substitute Trustee determines is appropriate in the Substitute Trustee’s sole discretion. This notice is intended to comply with the requirements of North Carolina General Statutes 25-9-607 and 25-9-613 providing for the disposition of personal property in connection with a foreclosure of real property. Grantor is entitled to and may request an accounting of the unpaid indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust. The highest bidder at the sale may be required to make a cash deposit with the Substitute Trustee of up to five (5%) percent of the bid, or $750.00, whichever is greater, at the time the bid is accepted. Any successful bidder shall be required to tender the remaining balance of the successful bid amount in cash or certified funds at the time the Substitute Trustee tenders to such bidder, or attempts to deliver to such bidder, a deed for the Property. Should such successful bidder fail to pay the full balance of the successful bid at that time, that bidder shall remain liable on the bid as provided by North Carolina General Statutes 45-21.30. The Property is being sold subject to all prior and superior deeds of trust, liens, unpaid taxes, restrictions, easements, assessments, leases, and other matters, if any, which, as a matter of law, survive the foreclosure of the Deed of Trust, provided that the inclusion of this clause in this Notice of Substitute Trustee’s Sale of Real Estate shall not be deemed to validate or otherwise give effect to any such matter or other right which, as a matter of law, does not survive the foreclosure of the Deed of Trust. The Property is being sold “AS IS, WHERE IS.“ Neither the Substitute Trustee, Holder, nor the officers, directors, attorneys, employees or authorized agents or representatives of either Substitute Trustee or Holder make any warranty relating to title, possession, quiet enjoyment, or any physical, environmental, health or safety conditions existing in, on, at or relating to the Property and any and all responsibilities or liabilities arising out of or in any way related to such conditions are expressly disclaimed. An order for possession of the property may be issued pursuant to North Carolina General Statutes 45-21.29 in favor of the purchaser and against the party or parties in possession by the Clerk of Superior Court of the county in which the Property is sold. Any person who occupies the Property pursuant to a rental agreement entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2007, may, after receiving this Notice of Substitute Trustee’s Sale of Real Estate, terminate the rental agreement upon 10 days’ written notice to the landlord. Upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termination. The sale will be reported to the Court and will r e main open for advance or upset bids for a per i o d of ten (10) days. If no advance bids are filed w i t h the Clerk of Court, the sale will be confirmed. This the 24th day of March, 2010. Jessica B. Cox, Esq. Substitute Trustee P.O. Box 2888 Greensboro, NC 27402.

Grasshoppers hoping for more success A

fter starring at South Mecklenburg High School and Elon University, Chase Austin eagerly anticipated an assignment with the Greensboro Grasshoppers following the 2009 draft. “It’s nice to finally be a part of a team that’s close to home,” said SPORTS Austin, who played Steve summer Hanf ball in ■■■ Minnesota and Connecticut before competing in New York during last year’s shortseason rookie league. “I’m so comfortable being around here. It’s a good feeling. I’m excited.” That being said, Austin also won’t mind bidding farewell to the low Class A affiliate of the Florida Marlins. After all, minor league baseball is about playing well and moving on. “If I was in Jupiter, I wouldn’t be complaining either,” said a laughing Austin, referring to the Marlins’ advanced Class A squad in Florida. New manager Andy Haines will be looking for improvement out of his players and wins by his team when the Grasshoppers open the 2010 season tonight against Augusta. First pitch at NewBridge Bank Park is slated for 7 in the first of eight home games to open the South Atlantic League season. “I think we have a real good mix of younger guys, some guys with college experience,” said Haines, who led the Jamestown Jammers last year in the New YorkPenn short-season league. “You’ve got a 25-man roster and I see a lot of pieces interchangeable. We’re excited to get it going.” Matt Montgomery, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound righthander drafted in the 10th round last year, should get the start tonight. Haines said he picked Montgomery because of the pitcher’s collegiate experience at UC-Riverside. On the flip side is the scheduled Game 2 starter: 19-year-old Chad James, a first-round pick last summer who makes his pro debut with the Grasshoppers. “It’s awesome, great people in this town,” said

the lefty from Oklahoma. “I’ve never played in front of this many people before. I’m real excited for the season.” Haines is excited about the rest of his starting rotation – Eric Carrillo, Edgar Olmos and Curt Peterson – along with a bullpen the manager said could be “the strength of the team.” Alejanero Ramos and Arquimedes Caminero offer good arms from the right side, while Ramon Benjamin, Jose Alvarez and Anillins Martinez will be the top lefties in relief. While he described the pitching staff as “talented and young,” Haines said the batting order is a balanced group that can hit for power and steal bases. Kyle Skipworth is one of six players back from last season. Haines said the catcher will hit in the middle of the lineup and provide some power, while right fielder Marcell Ozuna will lead off. Other mainstays will include Austin at third base, Chad Cregar and Brent Weaver at first, and Terrence Dayleg, Jose Torres and Michael Pasek up the middle. In the outfield, Rand Smith – another relative local who hails from South Brunswick High outside of Wilmington and Appalachian State – patrols center field, with Kyle Jensen in left. Austin Markel can play all three spots. Everyone who suits up for the Hoppers gets the privilege of competing for one of the most popular teams in all of minor league baseball. More than 2.1 million fans have seen Greensboro play in the team’s first five seasons at NewBridge Bank Park. “This is first-class, top to bottom,” Haines said. “It’s not hard to see when you walk in the building and meet the people who are here. I’m from Nashville, so for me, this is the South – it’s got a stamp on its forehead. That’s a great thing. For me and my family, it’s very comfortable and we’re very excited to be here.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Wake Forest fired head coach Dino Gaudio on Wednesday. Gaudio posted a 61-31 record in three seasons at the Demon Deacon helm, but Wake made early exits in the ACC Tournament and NCAA Tournament during that span.

Demon Deacons dismiss Gaudio BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – Winning two-thirds of his games in three seasons as Wake Forest’s basketball coach wasn’t enough for Dino Gaudio to keep Demon Deacon athletics director Ron Wellman happy. Dissatisfied with Wake’s continual collapse in the postseason, Wellman fired Gaudio on Wednesday despite marks of 61-31 overall and 27-21 in the ACC. That couldn’t offset crucial shortcomings that included a 1-5 record in the ACC and NCAA Tournaments and losing five of the last seven games this season. The failures included first-game losses to lower seeded teams in the ACC Tournament all three years, capped by a 83-62 blowout loss to 12th seed Miami this year, plus an NCAA Tournament blowout loss to unheralded Cleveland State in 2009. Gaudio’s only postseason victory came against Texas in this year’s NCAA Tournament first round before the Deacons’ 30-point humiliation at the hands of Kentucky in the second round to finish 20-11. That was far short of Wellman’s desire to contend for championships in the conference and in the Final Four. “The conference played (into the decision) for sure,” Wellman said. “We want to be a championship-caliber team within this conference. We congratulate North Carolina and Duke on their national championships. It promotes the ACC. The type of coach we want is someone who believes we can be at that level. It will take decades to sustain what they have achieved. We can achieve that, but we need to start now.” Wellman said in addition to the lateseason losses, he was concerned about declining offensive and defensive statistics down the stretch. “It wasn’t one disappointment,” Wellman said. “You have those in athletics all the time. But there was a three-year pattern here that needed to be addressed.” Gaudio’s firing was announced at a hastily-called afternoon news confer-

ence. Wellman said he informed Gaudio earlier in the afternoon and Gaudio was shocked. “I want to thank Wake Forest for the opportunity it gave me and my staff three years ago,” Gaudio said in a stateWellman ment released by the school. “I’m proud of what we accomplished on the court, in the classroom and in the community. We worked hard, did the very best we could, and I wish the basketball program the very best in the future.” The decision was made without influence from the outside, Wellman said. He discussed his intentions with Wake Forest president Nathan Hatch while they were at the Final Four last weekend. He said Gaudio will be paid a buyout in accordance with his contract. He has a list of candidates in place, with no timetable for hiring a replacement. The firing comes six months after Gaudio was given a two-year contract extension through the 2014-15 season. He was elevated to head coach after the death of Skip Prosser in 2007. “Six months ago I was convinced that we were going to perform better at the end of the season,” Wellman said. “That did not happen and a change has been made.” Gaudio’s departure comes with Wake returning just four scholarship players for the start of next season and heavily relying on a stellar five-person incoming class ranked in the top 10 nationally by recruiting services. The recruits cannot request to be released from their letters of intent to attend Wake until they meet the new coach. “We’re not going to rush into hiring a coach just to salvage a recruit or two,” Wellman said. “Those players made a commitment to Wake Forest and we made a commitment to them.” Wellman said assistant coaches Jeff Battle, Rusty LaRue will remain until the new coach is hired. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Oosthuizen ‘Masters’ Par 3 Contest AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) – Louis Oosthuizen figures any trophy at the Masters is better than none. And he’s sticking to that story. Oosthuizen became the third straight South African to win the Par 3 Contest at the Masters on Wednesday, finishing at 6 under. It’s somewhat of a dubious distinction, however, considering no

winner of the Par 3 has ever gone on to capture the green jacket. “There’s always a first time to break the curse,” said Oosthuizen, who has three top-five finishes on the European Tour this season, including a win at the Andalucia Open. Oosthuizen finished two strokes ahead of Matteo Manassero, David Duval, Jerry Pate and K.J. Choi.

WHO’S NEWS

COMING FRIDAY

he Washington Redskins hope to hit paydirt with one more veteran quarterback. The Skins acquired Donovan McNabb from the Eagles for a pair of draft picks earlier this week. The 33-year-old McNabb is considered “over the hill” by some NFL observers. Keep in mind, the Redskins were called the “over the hill gang” in the early 1970s. A quick glance at Redskins history shows that the team has prospered with several older signal-callers who started their careers with other pro teams.

10 4

In 1964, the Redskins got Sonny Jurgensen from the Eagles. That worked out well for Washington, as Jurgensen enjoyed most of the best years of his Hall-of-Fame career while with the Redskins. Billy Kilmer took the Redskins to Super Bowl VII, while Joe Theismann began his pro career in the CFL before emerging as a Hall-of-Famer and Super Bowl champion QB with the Skins. And Doug Williams famously capped his career by leading the Redskins to victory in Super Bowl XXII following a lengthy stay in Tampa Bay.

I wouldn’t be surprised if McNabb led the Redskins to similar heights before he’s through. Don’t forget, McNabb sparked the Eagles to five NFC title-game appearances and one Super Bowl in 11 seasons in Philadelphia. He’s tough and just the kind of quarterback new coach Mike Shanahan wants to build around. It will be fascinating to see how things shake out in D.C.

Toronto All-Star forward Chris Bosh had surgery to repair a facial fracture suffered during a freakish on-court accident. The Raptors said Bosh had a displaced nasal fracture repaired during an operation performed by Dr. Frank Papay at the Cleveland Clinic on Wednesday. Bosh will remain in the hospital overnight, and it’s unknown when he will return to Canada or whether he will play again this season. The Raptors have a one-game lead over Chicago for the final spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs with five games left. Toronto’s leading scorer sustained a “maxilla and nasal fracture to the right side of his face” when he was accidentally struck by the elbow of Cavaliers forward Antawn Jamsion in the opening minutes of Tuesday night’s loss to Cleveland.

HPU’s Steve Antolik scrambles back to first base as Wake Forest’s Matt Conway reaches for the throw during Wednesday night’s game in Winston-Salem.

Wake rallies past HPU BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – Offensive outbursts have been the norm for High Point University this spring. Of concern lately, though, is a struggling pitching staff whose earned run average has crept closer to the sevenrun mark and an offense failing to capitalize in key moments. “Tonight was a classic case of just leaving a team in the game, and at the end, they got the hit,� Panthers coach Craig Cozart said following an 8-7 loss to the Demon Deacons at Wake Forest Baseball Park. “Unfortunately, we aren’t good enough on the mound right now to leave teams in the game.� High Point lost a 7-4 lead against the Deacons, who scored twice in the seventh and eighth frames. Starter Wes Torrez pitched well into the fifth inning, making just one mistake on Matt Conway’s three-run homer, while Corey Swickle allowed three runs in three innings of relief. After Swickle hit a batter and walked another with one out in the eighth, reliever Spencer Andrews allowed a ringing double by Trenton Langston to tie the game at 7. A wild pitch with two outs brought home the winning run for Wake, which improved to 10-21 for the year.

Cowboys pound Panthers ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – Freshman Matt Orth struck out 15 in a six-inning complete game as Southwest Guilford defeated Ledford 15-5 on Wednesday night. Orth also went 3for-4 at the plate for the Cowboys (12-3).

Hudgens struck out 10 in seven innings to get the win, while freshman Matt Dale was 4for-4 and Austin Cole and Madden each went 2-for-4.

HPU dropped to 17-13 with a sixth loss in its last seven games. The Panthers got a three-run homer from Murray White IV in the fourth inning to take a 4-1 lead, and RBI hits from Steve Antolik, Andrew Bartlett and Mike Mercurio that brought home three more runs in the fifth. Otherwise, the Panthers struggled at the plate. White popped up with the bases loaded in the second and struck out with three on in the seventh. Max Fulginiti’s double-play grounder ended a threat in the third. Antolik’s twinkilling kept insurance runs off the board in the eighth. In all, High Point stranded 13 runners, making a winner of reliever Joel Ernst. He pitched the final 21⠄3 after former Glenn star Eli Robins got five outs without a run scoring in his relief stint. “We had plenty of opportunities to blow that game wide open,� said Cozart, whose team travels to Coastal Carolina for a Big South weekend series. “The first 25 games of the year, this offense was very opportunistic. If we got a two-out walk or a bases-loaded situation, we were hitting the ball hard through the gap. We’re not getting that right now.�

Biffle sets lofty goals C

ompared to last year, Greg Biffle is having a great season. He knows the improvement is still not enough. After six races in 2009, Biffle was 23rd in points, saddled by four finishes of 20th or worse and two in the 30s. Six races into 2010, he been in the top 10 every time with the highest finish second in the Daytona 500. But he has only other top–five showing, a fourth at Bristol. The other finishes were 10th. He’s one of five drivers who have completed every lap. That is consistency that enables Biffle to see the top of the points standings and at this point feel more comfortable about making the Chase for the Championship, which he did last year with a big rally. He is in second place, 14 points behind leader Jimmie Johnson. The consistency isn’t enough. The goal is to deny Johnson a fifth straight championship. To do that, Biffle knows he must eventually outrun Johnson, and so far, Johnson appears to have the better team after scoring three victories

and finishing ahead of Biffle in four of the six races. “We’ve been good so far and that’s SPORTS not good enough,” Greer Biffle said. Smith “A person ■■■ is going to have to be great (to beat Johnson). You’ll have to be flawless. ... We’re going to have to be better than we’ve been. We know that. We’re prepared to work hard to get better and better. And we’re going to keep the pressure on them.” Being better than in the past is something Biffle must do in Saturday’s 375-mile race at Phoenix International Raceway if he is to gain ground on Johnson this weekend. In 12 outings at PIR, Biffle has three top-five finishes with a best of a second. Johnson has won four of the last five Phoenix events and has not finished worse than fourth in the past seven races there. Although the favorite, Johnson isn’t a lock as he showed by edging Biffle

Biffle currently stands second in Cup points, but still sees plenty of room for improvement. for ninth two weeks ago at Martinsville Speedway, failing to win for just the third time in the past eight races there. Johnson said the team experimented with setups with an eye toward the Chase race at Martinsville in the fall and never got the car handling correctly. Biffle believes his Roush-Fenway team is closing the gap on Johnson. “We’ve beat them this year,” Biffle said. “Miraculously, I don’t know how. When you go to a place like Martinsville, where we haven’t had

much success, and we are competing with them at that level, we feel we’ve certainly gained on them. We’re certainly going to put pressure on them at these other tracks where we feel that we are pretty darn good.” That would include places such as Texas next week, and Darlington and Dover next month and Michigan and New Hampshire in June. Helping his efforts in the short term is ranking near the top of the standings instead of worrying about not making the Chase. Biffle is 156 points

ahead of 13th-place Joey Logano, essentially a onerace cushion. “We can be a little more aggressive trying to go for a position,” Biffle said. “Certainly I’m focused on getting good finishes. I’m focused on making the Chase and making our cars as good as we can. And I want to win.” When saying he wants to win, Biffle isn’t limiting his scope to Johnson. In fact, he’s rather tired about all the talk about Johnson and what other teams must do to beat the champ.

“I don’t really care a bit about the 48 car,” Biffle said. “I’d rather not talk about him. My focus is what we need to do to win at Phoenix. And there are a lot of guys I gotta beat. We don’t view it as one particular guy. We view it as we gotta go there and win.” Whether Biffle is sick of it or not, chances are Johnson will come into the discussion when it comes down to talking about who is contending for victory on Saturday night. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Ohio State’s Turner gives up senior year for NBA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State’s Evan Turner is skipping his senior season to make himself available for the NBA draft. The 6-foot-7 point guard is expected to be a top-three pick in the June 24 draft after receiving almost every national player of the year honor. The Chicago native averaged 20.4 points, 9.2 rebounds and 6 assists a game while shooting 52 percent from the field, 36.4 percent behind the arc and 76 percent at the line.

Woods gets a major scolding from Masters chairman AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) – On the day Tiger Woods arrived at the Masters, he changed out of his spikes after playing nine holes, walked across the parking lot and went upstairs to the office of Augusta National chairman Billy Payne. Payne would not discuss details of their Sunday afternoon meeting. Based on his blunt criti-

cism of Woods during his annual press conference Wednesday, they probably weren’t talking about how Woods was hitting the ball or his chances of winning a fifth green jacket starting with round one today. “It is simply not the degree of his conduct that is so egregious here,” Payne said. “It is the fact that he disappointed all of us, and more importantly, our

kids and our grandkids. Our hero did not live up to the expectations of the role model we saw for our children.” They were the strongest words from a Masters chairman since Hootie Johnson’s famous “point of a bayonet” reply to Martha Burk in the summer of 2002 when he defended the club’s right to an all-male membership.

(AP) – A small crowd greeted the NCAA champion Connecticut women’s basketball team as they returned home with their second straight title on Wednesday. About 175 fans waited by a runway at Bradley International Airport as the Huskies arrived from San Antonio, where they beat Stanford, 53-47, on Tuesday night. It was the team’s 78th straight win and second straight undefeated season.

“I know there would be a lot more people here, but they’re probably in the hospital, so if you see any of your friends, tell them we won,” said UConn coach Geno Auriemma, a reference to the Huskies needing a second-half rally to pull out the victory. Connecticut Gov. M. Jodi Rell was there to greet the team. “These are loyal Huskies fans,” she said of the crowd gathering before the team arrived.

Toyota warned Europe well before US WASHINGTON (AP) — Long before Toyota told U.S. regulators about sticking accelerator pedals, the Japanese automaker warned its distributors throughout Europe about similar problems, documents obtained by The Associated Press show. Concerns about sticking gas pedals and complaints from Toyota owners in the U.S. were rising at the end of 2009. The documents show that weeks earlier, on Sept. 29, its European division issued technical information “identifying a production improvement and repair procedure to address complaints by customers in those countries of sticking accelerator pedals, sudden rpm increase and/or sudden vehicle acceleration.”

Consumer spending offers glimmer of hope NEW YORK (AP) — An earlier Easter and modest consumer spending rebound helped retail sales rise in March, particularly furniture and luxury goods, categories that were the worst hit during the recession, according to an early measurement. The latest numbers out Wednesday from MasterCard Advisor’s SpendingPulse show sales rose in most categories, including clothing, appliances and consumer electronics.

Oil prices drop on US supply report NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices eased Wednesday on a report showing crude inventories grew more than expected last week and that supplies of gasoline were still well above average. By midday, benchmark crude for May delivery fell 37 cents to $86.47 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Interest rates fall after strong auction NEW YORK (AP) — Interest rates moved sharply lower in the bond market after investors snapped up a new supply of 10-year Treasury notes. The yield on the 10-year note fell to 3.91 percent from 3.96 percent late Tuesday after Wednesday afternoon’s auction. The yield is a widely used benchmark for mortgages and other consumer loans.

DILBERT

Distributors throughout Europe and in Russia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Turkey and Israel received the technical information. In assessing a record $16.4 million fine on Toyota for failing to alert the U.S. government to the safety problems quickly enough, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood cited the warnings to the other countries. LaHood said Tuesday that Toyota made a “huge mistake” by not disclosing the safety problems sooner. The timeline in the documents shows that Toyota said in October it had received three reports of sticking pedals in Corollas sold in the United States. It notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the cases in

November. In November and December, Toyota engineers examined pedals from the Corollas and were able to replicate the sticking pedal problem in two of the three cases. The engineers “concluded that the phenomenon experienced in the United States was essentially the same as the phenomenon experienced in Europe,” the document said. In mid-January, Toyota held internal meetings “to discuss status of production changes and to prepare for meetings with NHTSA” on Jan. 19, according to the timeline. Two days later, Toyota announced it would recall 2.3 million vehicles to address the sticking pedals.

Greenspan defends record during probe WASHINGTON (AP) — Alan Greenspan defended his tenure Wednesday as head of the Federal Reserve before a panel investigating the roots of the financial crisis. As he has in the past, Greenspan disputed critics who say he kept interest rates too low for too long, encouraging risky lending. Greenspan also hit back against criticism that his Fed failed to regulate highrisk loans to borrowers who couldn’t afford the debt. Many of those loans became the toxic assets that sparked the crisis. Testifying to the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, Greenspan insisted the Fed lacked authority to regulate the nonbank lenders that issued most subprime mortgages. But Phil Angelides, the panel chairman, referred to internal Fed documents in which staffers had recommended “broad prohibi-

tions on deceptive lending.” Angelides said the Fed had issued guidance on predatory lending but had failed to regulate it. “Why, in the face of all that, did you not act to contain abusive, deceptive subprime lending?” Angelides, a former California state treasurer, asked Greenspan. Greenspan pointed to a series of actions he said the Fed took. Angelides countered that the Fed’s actions covered only 1 percent of the subprime lending market. “You could’ve, you should’ve and you didn’t” regulate the lending activities, he said. In his opening remarks, Greenspan blamed a litany of other parties and historical events for the meltdown but accepted no responsibility for himself or the Fed, which he led from 1987 until early 2006.

Bernanke cites economic hurdles WASHINGTON (AP) — Problems in the housing market and high unemployment are the biggest economic challenges the U.S. faces, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Wednesday. After suffering through the worst recession since the 1930s, the economy seems to have stabilized and is growing again, Bernanke said. But he warned: “We are far from being out of the woods.

Many Americans are still grappling with unemployment or foreclosure or both.” In prepared remarks to business people in Dallas, Bernanke said he saw no evidence of a “sustained recovery” in the housing market, noting that foreclosures keep rising. Commercial real estate remains a trouble spot, too. The toughest problems are in the job market.

Stocks slide after streak of gains NEW YORK (AP) — A late-day slide broke the stock market’s calm Wednesday after concerns grew that shares are overheated. A disappointing drop in consumer borrowing and a slide in oil prices hit a market that analysts said has been looking tired. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 72 points after repeated attempts this week to cross the psychological threshold of 11,000. It hasn’t been above that level in 18 months. It was the Dow’s biggest drop since Feb. 23. It had been down by as much as 125 points during the day, its first triple-digit slide since February. Analysts said the market has been due for a break after two months of steady gains. The benchmark Standard & Poor’s index reached an 18-month high on Tuesday. It had risen 12.6 percent in just two months. The market found some support in afternoon trading following strong demand at a government bond auction. That sent interest rates lower following a spike on Monday. The Dow fell 72.47, or 0.7 percent, to 10,897.52. The Dow had flirted with the 11,000 level in recent days, but hadn’t crossed it. It came within 12 points of 11,000 on Monday and Tuesday before retreating. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 6.99, or 0.6 percent, to 1,182.45, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 5.65, or 0.2 percent, to 2,431.16.

SEC seeks tighter securities rules WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators proposed new, stricter rules Wednesday for asset-backed securities, the bundles of loans that helped spark the market’s collapse in 2008 and nearly brought down the financial system. The Securities and Exchange Commission voted 5-0 to propose that Wall Street firms that package and sell asset-backed securities be required to hold at least 5 percent of the packaged loans — mortgages, credit cards, auto loans — on their own books. With some “skin in the game,� the thinking goes, the firms would be more careful to ensure that

borrowers are properly screened. Experts say it was the lack of “skin� that enabled a system in which the bundles of mortgage loans were whisked from investor to investor, with no one assuming responsibility for the risk until the roof caved in. Mortgage-backed securities were the pyramid of cards that collapsed and nearly blew up the financial system, bringing on the recession. The government stepped in after the subprime mortgage disaster turned home loans that had been bundled together as securities into toxic assets. The Federal Reserve spent $1.25 trillion to buy up mortgage securi-

ties, a government support that ended last month. The SEC’s proposed rules could be formally adopted sometime after a 90-day public comment period, possibly with changes. The proposal would require the 5 percent minimum holding by the firms as a condition of the SEC approving their offerings of asset-backed securities for sale to investors. Although the vote by the five commissioners was unanimous, two of them — Republicans Kathleen Casey and Troy Paredes — voiced concerns about the new requirement for risk-holding. Paredes said it may not make sense to apply a 5 percent minimum

requirement to every offering of asset-backed securities. The SEC’s proposal also would require the firms to provide fuller disclosures on asset-backed securities. The disclosures would include information on every underlying loan in a package. For example: What type of mortgage loan was involved? Were complete documents required from the borrower? Or was it a “no-doc� or “liar loan�? The idea is to give investors more information in order to better judge the securities’ risk. That would reduce reliance on the Wall Street credit rating agencies.

GM posts $4.3 billion loss DETROIT (AP) — General Motors Co. says it lost $4.3 billion in the last half of 2009 as it struggled to emerge from bankruptcy protection, repay government loans and cope with a severe downturn in U.S. sales. However, the automaker says it still sees a chance of being profitable in 2010. GM’s results aren’t comparable to prior years. They only measure the period from July 10, when GM emerged from bankruptcy protection after shedding billions in debt, through Dec. 31.

GM said it earned $109 million in the period from Jan. 1 to July 9, under old accounting. The Detroit company reported revenue of $57.5 billion for the period. That compares to $47.1 billion in revenues in the period from Jan. 1July 9. GM arrived at the totals using fresh-start accounting, which allows companies to completely revalue their assets after bankruptcy protection. GM says it’s the largest company ever to go through the fresh-start process.

Newton furniture plant to reopen MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

NEWTON – Bassett Furniture Industries will reopen an upholstery plant in Newton to produce an entry-level upholstery line that will debut this month at the High Point Market. The factory, adjacent to the company’s existing upholstery plant in Newton, was shuttered about a year ago and is expected to resume production in late May, said Jay S. Moore, director of public relations for Virginia-based Bassett. Moore said some of the 430 employees at the existing Newton plant will initially staff the reopened facility, although an undetermined number of new workers will be hired, depending on demand. Bassett sales representatives have been pre-selling products to be made at the reopened facility for the last three weeks, Moore said. “Response has been good so far, and

we’ll see what happens at the High Point Market,” he said. Robert H. Spilman Jr., president and chief executive officer at Bassett, said the reopened plant will make a new line including 10 frames with matching sofas, loveseats and chairs, in addition to about 20 mix-and-match pillows. Spilman said the new line will feature starting retail price points of $599 to $799 for stationary sofas. He said the new starting price point is about 20 percent below the current starting price, but the company has not compromised its quality standards. The new line will have the same warranty as the existing Bassett line, Spilman said. “In a time when more and more domestic furniture manufacturing has shifted overseas, we are elated to be able to take advantage of a strong work force in Newton and introduce a new segment to our upholstery line, made right here in the United States,” Spilman said.

Greece struggles continue despite rescue effort ATHENS, Greece (AP) – After enacting painful austerity measures and winning a deal for a European and International Monetary Fund financial backstop, Greece is back in a familiar position: Borrowing costs have skyrocketed and the stock market is sagging. Predictions of default or an expensive bailout are again on the rise, leaving investors to wonder: what’s next for the country’s struggle to pull itself out of the debt crisis? Prime Minister George

Papandreou on Wednesday said a joint eurozoneIMF financial rescue plan, agreed in Brussels on March 25, had helped his country’s recovery effort. “This was clear a great success for our country ... it guaranteed a safety net for Greece for and another country that could face a similar problem,” he said. “We got a breathing space, we gained time.” But Papandreou’s upbeat message was undermined by another brutal day for Greece in the markets, and increasingly dire

predictions by analysts. For second day, Greek bond yields hit highs of more than 4 percentage points above German 10year bonds, considered a benchmark of safety, with the interest rate gap, or spread, rising to 4.06 percentage points. Those higher interest rates demanded by bond investors are potential poison for the Greek budget; unless they fall, the government will pay a premium to borrow and face a vicious circle as higher borrowing costs fuel more default fears.

This 2009 picture made available by the U.S. Geological Service shows the remnants of the Jackson Glacier at Glacier National Park in Montana.

2 more glaciers disappear from Glacier National Park BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) – Glacier National Park has lost two more of its namesake moving icefields to climate change, which is shrinking the rivers of ice until they grind to a halt, the U.S. Geological Survey said Wednesday. Warmer temperatures have reduced the number of named glaciers in the northwestern Montana park to 25, said Dan Fagre, an ecologist with the agency. He warned the rest of the glaciers may be gone by the end of the decade. “When we’re measur-

Fire danger now threatens flood-hit areas BOSTON (AP) – Officials in southern New England have issued fire danger warnings for some of the areas put under water by record flooding just days ago. The National Weather Service says the temperature Wednesday hit 92 degrees in Providence, R.I.,

and Hartford, Conn., setting records for the day in both cities. The temperature hit a record 90 at Boston’s Logan International Airport. Providence last month also set a record for March rainfall; Boston had its second-rainiest month on record.

The weather service on Wednesday issued a red flag warning for much of southern New England. That means an enhanced danger of brush fires. Officials point out that plants that have yet to bud can burn under the right conditions even if the ground is still wet.
