struction of justice for attempting to cover up money missing from the vice and narcotics unit of the sheriff’s department. “When (a law enforcement officer) goes to rookie school, (basic law enforcement training), that certifies him to carry a weapon. That wouldn’t play on being sheriff. If you are going to take his firearm away from him, you put him out in harm’s way. I don’t see where that would make any sense.” Ruth Huneycutt, director of the Davidson County Board of Elections, said members of the elections board will review the challenge at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday. Hege said he and his attorney will attend the meeting. “I want to be there,” Hege said. “I want to look them in the eyeball.”

HIGH POINT – Home sales in High Point went through the roofs in March – a sign that buyers are trying to get houses under contract before the homebuyer’s tax credit comes to an end, officials said. Data prepared by the Triad Multiple Listings Service shows home sales increased 106 percent last month when 124 homes were sold. The spike follows flat sales in January and February when 60 homes were sold in each of those months. Sales also were up 70 percent compared to the same time last year when 73 homes were sold in the city. “I guess you could say that many people are realizing that it is truly a great time to buy real estate given the low mortgage interest rates, large inventory from which to choose and the federal government’s homebuyer tax credit,” said Ed Terry, executive vice president of the High Point Regional Association of Realtors. “I think the April 30 deadline (for the tax credit) is pretty well known.” The average home sale price in High Point also grew by 50 percent, reaching $208,904 last month. Home sale prices in February averaged $123,394. High Point’s numbers bode better than the Triad’s overall averages in March, which also saw sharp upturns. Triad home sales increased 52 percent last month from February and 37 percent from the same time last year. There were 1,018 homes sold in the Triad last month. “These startling statistics hint at a stabilization in home prices,” Terry said. “The doubledigit increase from last year and the triple-digit increase from last month seem to indicate that the homebuyer’s tax credit is having its desired effect.” Ron Crowder, an appraiser and owner of Hylton, Crowder and Associates, said the tax credit was producing activity in the market for homes in the lower to mid-price ranges, but homes priced in the upper ranges probably weren’t seeing the same benefit from the credit. He added that the effect of the credit would become more evident in July sales, when activity from the credit finally dies down. “You’re still going to see a ripple effect in May and June,” he said. “What will be interesting to see are July sales. That’s when we’ll get a really good feel for how many home sales were involved with this.”

Davidson County elections official Ruth Honeycutt takes signed protest affidavits from Salvation’s Way members in the Lexington elections office.

Group challenges Hege’s candidacy BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – A group of Davidson County residents on Wednesday challenged former Sheriff Gerald Hege’s bid to get his old job back, arguing there’s legal basis to remove the former sheriff’s name from the ballot. The residents submitted signed affidavits Wednesday afternoon to the Davidson County Board of Elections office that say Hege, a convicted felon, would be in direct violation of N.C. G.S. 14-415.1 if elected as sheriff. According to the statute, it’s “unlawful for any person who has been convicted of a felony to purchase, own, possess or have in custody, care, or control any firearm or any weapon of mass death and destruction.” The general statues disqualify Hege from “being in care, control and custody of not only firearms, but also deputies carrying firearms,” said Melisia Prout, the president of Salvation’s Way and a Forsyth County resident who organized the challenge. Prout, a former Davidson County resident who couldn’t sign an affidavit because of her residency, said Salvation’s Way is a nonprofit that helps low-income individuals in legal situations, such as in the case of challenging Hege’s candidacy. “Mr. Hege would have complete custody, care and control of firearms as well as custody, care and control of officers carrying firearms,” Prout said. “Mr. Hege does not meet the constitutional qualifications to seek election for the office of sheriff.” N.C. G.S. 163-127.2 allows for residents to challenge candidates no later than 10 business days after the close of the candidate’s filing period. Under the statute, grounds for filing a challenge are that the candidate does not meet the constitutional or statutory qualifications for the office. The statute also says “if defect” is discovered after the deadline, grounds may be the basis for a protest. Responding to the challenge, Hege told The High Point Enterprise that the fact he can’t carry a gun has “been challenged from day one.” He said the argument that he couldn’t lead the sheriff’s office because he can’t own or posses a gun “doesn’t make any sense.” “You are not going to disarm the entire sheriff’s office,” said Hege, who resigned as sheriff in 2004 after pleading guilty to two felony counts of ob-

GAA offers $7.3 million for Wendover property BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – County leaders will take their first look tonight at a $7.3 million offer from Greensboro Auto Auction for the 29-acre Evergreens Senior Health Care property on Wendover Avenue adjoining the company’s site. The county land near Costco became available when the managing residential health care providers decided to move their clients to new sites. The property is one of four the county listed recently.

The Guilford County Board of Commissioners will consider advertising the offer for upset bids during a 5:30 p.m. session in the Old Courthouse. GAA has 232 acres adjoining the county site. “We would like to get the property to expand,” said Dean Green, GAA president, “and with the property, we can do that without having to move anything to another place.” GAA is the largest independently owned dealer auction lot. “The offered price is the appraised value and asking price,” said David Grantham, county

property management director. “Another bidder would have to consider how much more the property is worth.” By selling the properties, the county cuts maintenance costs and receives sale income for other projects and eventual property taxes. “The land became more valuable than the buildings,” said Grantham. “We expect the buyer to knock down the four structures for development.” The sale could be the largest straight sale ever for the county, Grantham said.

“We’ve had several property swaps worth a lot,” Grantham said. While the Greensboro site, with high-rise buildings more than 30 years old, may have lost its value as a nursing home, the Evergreens site in High Point, with shorter buildings, still has potential, Grantham said. The High Point site, valued at $3.1 million, is close to the intersection of the U.S. 311 Bypass and Greensboro Road, just across from the old Presbyterian Home site. The buildings were erected in 1977 and 1981.

GUILFORD COUNTY – The Guilford County Board of Commissioners could decide tonight whether retired High Point physician Dr. Otis Tillman will serve another term as a member of the Piedmont Triad Airport Authority. Tillman confirmed Wednesday he submitted his name for the job. There are no other candidates, according to a list county officials re-

leased this week. “We’ll see what happens,” Tillman said. Tillman is nearing the end of his third term on the authority board. He is one of three county appointees. His term expires Monday. Tillman, a former treasurer of the authority, has served since April 2001. He’s the lone black member of the seven-member authority. If commissioners reappoint Tillman, it will be an exception to the traditional two-term limitation.

But there have been exceptions before. Current authority Chairman Henry Isaacson of Greensboro and former board member Walt Cockerham of Greensboro were permitted to serve beyond two terms, as has Tillman in his third term. The seven members of the airport authority are appointed by five governmental bodies in Guilford and Forsyth counties. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Jackson Carpenter President, Simon Li Furniture orders did not decline. “It’s a good sign that we aren’t going down anymore,” Smith said. Shipment gains every month since October also were documented in The Furnishings Digest Newsletter, published by Mann, Armistead

and Epperson Ltd. Showroom owners were preparing on Wednesday for the event, which has the largest economic impact in North Carolina than any other single tourism event in the state. Their expectations reflected Smith’s, and they said they mostly hope for some small increases and gains this spring. “I think it (the furniture market) definitely has improved,” said Jackson Carpenter, president of Simon Li Furniture, standing in the company’s showroom in Showplace West. “Is it back to where it should be? I don’t think so. It sounds cliche, but I do think everyone is optimistic.” Carpenter said he had already seen some positive, foretelling signs for the event, which closes Thursday. “We are opening up a day early (Friday) because we have some customers who have made appointments with us on that day,” he said. “Last spring, there were a couple of customers we wanted to see that didn’t come to the market. This year, everyone we want to see is scheduled to be here.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

WILSON – Authorities describe it as one of the most “horrific and gruesome” scenes they’ve witnessed in connection with dog fighting. Wilson County Animal Enforcement Division officials traveled to Duplin County before dawn Tuesday and successfully raided and shut down what they are calling one of the top five dog-fighting operations in the United States. Information obtained through a recent dog-fighting bust in Lucama helped spark the raid. Authorities seized 35 pit bulls and arrested alleged dog-fighting veteran, Harry Lewis Hargrove, 76, of 306 Buck Hill Road, Mount Olive. Some of the dogs will be euthanized because of the severity of their injuries and aggressive nature, officials said. The Humane Society will transport the remaining animals to Georgia for rehabilitation and possible adoption.

Bicycle Bandit pleads guilty to 8 bank jobs CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) – A man police dubbed the Bicycle Bandit has admitted committing eight bank robberies in southern New Jersey and Delaware. Prosecutors say that Brian Layton went on a yearlong spree in which he robbed banks in six New Jersey cities and

in Wilmington, Del., and rode away on a bicycle each time. Layton was arrested on Sept. 25 while trying to flee from a New Jersey state trooper on the Garden State Parkway in a van and then by foot. Police say that Layton dropped a backpack

containing cash from a robbery. The 48-yearold pleaded guilty on Tuesday before a U.S. District Court judge in Camden. Each of the eight counts against him carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for May 27.

Three sought for robbing elderly women ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

RANDOLPH COUNTY – The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office is searching for three people who are connected to robbing two elderly women over the last two months. According to a Randolph County Sheriff’s Office press release, dep-

uties received a report March 23 from an elderly resident on Frazier Road in Ramseur in reference to having been victimized by two white males who told the woman they were checking property lines. She also told deputies she believes a third suspect was involved who may have entered

her residence and stole money from her purse that was sitting on a desk inside the residence. The victim told deputies that nothing else in the residence was bothered and that the suspects were in a white small pick-up truck. The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office received

a similar report April 12 from an elderly victim on High Pine Church Road who stated she was approached by two white males who stated that they were checking property lines. Deputies were told by the woman that the men distracted her in the yard while a third suspect entered the resi-

dence. After the suspects left, the victim said she found her phone lines had been cut and she was missing money and a checkbook from her purse. The victim also said the suspects were operating a small tan pickup truck. During the investigation of the two incidents,

Randolph County investigators learned the Moore County Sheriff’s Office also reported a similar incident on March 23. Randolph County investigators are urging anyone who my have knowledge or information relating to the cases to call the sheriff’s office at 318-6697.

Police seize 3 High Point houses ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – The High Point Police Department seized three private residences using North Carolina’s Nuisance Abatement Law. The houses are at 228, 230 and 232 Hobson St., and they were owned by Fred and May Frazier of Linwood. The houses were used for serious criminal activity for more than five years, during which time police responded

to more than 319 calls to the three properties. Police attempted to work with the Fraziers for two years to resolve problems, but received no cooperation, according to a release. Police filed a nuisance abatement case with the district attorney’s office in December 2009, and the case was successful. The three houses were turned over to Guilford County Schools, as required by state law.

Work continues to ID woman from bones GREENSBORO – Officials with the N.C.

Authorities were notified of the bones after a family in the 2900-block of Mount Hope Church Road called to say their dog had brought a human jawbone

into their yard. The sheriff’s office responded, confirmed the find and discovered almost a full skeleton 300 yards from a home across the street in a wooded area. A preliminary autopsy determined the remains are that of a white woman who was in her late teens or early 20s. Col. Randy Powers of the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday morning that the medical

examiner’s office is working today to clean up the remains and determine a cause of death. “As far as the person who it is, we are running down some possible leads,� Powers said. He added that a full set of teeth were among the remains and that they are being compared to dental charts. DNA might also be used to help determine the identity.

Iran reports batch of higher enriched uranium TEHRAN, Iran – Iran has succeeded in producing its first significant batch of further enriched uranium, the country’s nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi said Wednesday, a move defying U.N. demands to halt the controversial program. The uranium has been enriched from around 3.5 percent to 20 percent purity, needed to fuel a medical research reactor, Salehi said, according to the ISNA news agency. That level is far below the more than 90 percent needed to build a nuclear weapon.

Obama: Drug problem needs new approach MEXICO CITY – First lady Michelle Obama said Wednesday that reducing the demand for illegal drugs needs an approach much broader than just warning young people to stay away from them. “If young people don’t have an alternative in their lives, whatever country they’re in, they’re going to choose drugs, they’re going to choose (the) drug trade. That’s the way they make money,” she told reporters after a speech to several thousand young people during her first international trip as first lady.

an airport worker – suspected in the plot, which appeared aimed at undermining the country’s stability while U.S. troops prepare to go home. Two U.S. intelligence officials in Washington confirmed the plot but said it did not appear to be fully planned out, nor was it clear that militants would be able to carry out

any attacks. Both U.S. officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. Airports in Baghdad and Najaf were shuttered last week as intelligence officials said they learned

of the plot. The airport in Najaf remains closed because of its proximity to the gold-domed Imam Ali shrine, one of the most revered Shiite religious mosques in the world, one of the officials said.

Iceland evacuates hundreds as volcano erupts GIA Graduate Gemologist on Staff 536067©HPE

REYKJAVIK, Iceland – A volcano under a glacier in Iceland erupted Wednesday for the second time in less than a month, melting ice, spewing smoke and steam, closing a major road and forcing hundreds of people to flee rising floodwaters. Authorities evacuated 800 residents from around the Eyjafjallajokull glacier as water gushed down the mountainside and rivers rose by up to 10 feet.

Ousting a Kyrgyz leader means ousting his kin TEYIT, Kyrgyzstan – The deposed president of Kyrgyzstan has refused to go quietly until the safety of his family is guaranteed. But Kurmanbek Bakiyev’s family includes two sons, five brothers and his brothers’ many sons – members of a clan that has grown wealthy and powerful under his rule – and the new government says it will offer them no guarantees. The stalemate prolongs the uncertainty in the Central Asian nation, where the United States has an air base that is key to military operations against the Taliban in nearby Afghanistan.

World Trade Center steel heads home PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Massive steel remnants of the fallen World Trade Center towers returned Wednesday to the Pennsylvania city where they were made more than four decades ago, in a solemn homecoming that was never meant to be. A mile-long procession of 28 flatbed trucks arrived in Coatesville carrying 500 tons of structural supports, referred to as “steel trees� because of their upward branching shape. Fire trucks flashed their lights in welcome, and hundreds of residents lining the sidewalks waved U.S. flags and reached up to touch the wreckage. Some posed for pictures or saluted; others wept. Forged in 1969 by Lukens Steel Co., the supports framed the perimeter of the twin towers’ first nine floors and massive lobbies before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks reduced both skyscrapers to rubble. But the World Trade Center’s twisted steel supports, among the few remaining pieces of the 110-story skyscrapers still standing, became an iconic image of defiance and strength for a mourning nation. “They’re here, and we’re happy to have them, but we didn’t ever want them back, certainly not for the reason they’re coming back,� said Coatesville resident Mary Sullivan. Officials hope to use the steel as the centerpiece of an industrial history museum. The 10 five-ton support structures made up part of the first nine floors of the north tower.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) – Call it NASA: The Next Generation. The president is pointing America toward a new direction in space, and some heroes from NASA’s long-ago glory days don’t like it. New rockets to the moon have been canceled. And the space shuttles are about to be mothballed. Instead, the Obama administration wants to rely more on private companies to fly into space over the next few years, while also working to develop a big, new government rocket ship. But the plan lacks details, and neither a specific initial destination nor a spacecraft has been settled on. The old space hands aren’t buying it.

Why take my hard-earned money for giveaways? In response to “Right to health care trumps right to wealth” (Your View, Daniel Shirley, April 9): The health care reform will take money from the common folks who are still fortunate enough to still have work, and will be used more for folks who are not working. When is the last time you saw someone who really needed medical care not receive it? If you truly have a medical need, go to the hospital and they will take care of you. The statement that “an individual’s right to keep money he doesn’t need is more sacred than another’s right to care that he can’t afford.” I earned the money and had no one give it to me, it is mine to do with as I please. While I am paying taxes, as most working people do, I am already paying for those who have no insurance or means for care. It is called Medicaid, paid for with tax dollars. If I care to donate to a worthy cause, it should be my choice. That choice is being taken from us. How many folks do you see sitting around and will not take a low-paying job because they can get more on unemployment and food stamps if they don’t take the low-paying job? Ask someone who is laid off work if they have found a job. Most will just draw the unemployment until it runs out and then complain they have no job. There still is some work to be had. It may not be doing exactly what you want to do and being paid what you think you are worth, but there are some jobs. Shirley gave a quote of love of

County staff cuts must be in the mix

I

t’s tough to say, but the reality is that Guilford County commissioners and county staff must cut positions and lay off employees as part of the strategy for funding a no-growth budget that maintains the current 73.74-cent property tax rate for the coming fiscal year. The county’s property tax base has grown little, if any, during the past year. Available revenues are flat or declining, and at the same time, the demands to repay funds previously committed under earlier bond issues are increasing. In previous years, the focus has been on finding ways to raise revenues through the least painful methods. This year, the attention must focus on finding opportunities to cut expenses. And reducing the county’s work force by about 80 employees appears to be a prime expensecutting avenue. Cutting county staff means remaining people must pick up the slack and find efficiencies for completing tasks. But that’s a path most private sector businesses have taken the past couple of years. It’s not painless, but it must be done to ease burdens on taxpayers, many of whom are unemployed themselves and wondering how they will pay the coming year’s tax bill.

It’s fact: The Civil War was all about slavery “We went to war on account of the thing we quarreled with the North about. I never heard of any other cause of quarrel than slavery. Men fight from sentiment. After the fight is over they invent some fanciful theory on which they imagine that they fought.” – Confederate Col. John S. Mosby

T

en years ago, I received an e-mail from a reader who signed him or herself “J.D.” “I am a white racist,” wrote J.D., “a white supremacist and I do not deny it.” From that, you’d suspect J.D. had nothing of value to say. You’d be mistaken. J.D. wrote in response to a column documenting the fact that preservation of slavery was the prime directive of the southern confederacy. “I was most pleased to see you write what we both know to be the truth,” the email said. “I never cease to be amazed at the Sons of Confederate Veterans and similar ’heritage not hate’ groups who are constantly whining that the Confederacy was not a white, racist government ...” That argument, noted J.D. with wry amusement, plays well with “white people who want to be Confederates without any controversy.” It was an astute observation, the truth of which was deftly illustrated recently by Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell. Seems he issued a proclamation declaring April Confederate History Month in the commonwealth. Said proclamation contained not the barest mention that the Confederacy went to war to preserve slavery, an omission that got the governor pilloried in the court of public opinion. So McDonnell apologized and tried again, inserting into his proclamation a paragraph observing that this Confederacy we are invited to commemorate was built upon an “evil” and “inhumane” practice. That little bit of cognitive dissonance neatly accomplished, the proclamation was duly reissued. But there’s still a flaw in it. Namely in a line that speaks of how “the people of Virginia joined the Confederate States of America.” See, no one asked half a million of “the people of Virginia” about joining any Confederacy. As they were owned by their fellow citizens, they had no say in the matter.

And so it goes in the ongoing effort by apologists for the Confederacy to convince the rest of us that an act of high treason committed in the name of preserving human bondage somehow deserves honor and respect. It’s a case OPINION that cannot be made on its own dubious merits, so they Leonard are obliged to pretend the Pitts cause wasn’t what it was, to ■■■ write slaves and slavery out of the story. McDonnell is hardly the first. Indeed, the practice is nearly as old as the Civil War itself. Confederate President Jefferson Davis once flatly cited “the labor of African slaves” as the cause of the rebellion. After the war, with that cause repudiated, he wrote, “Slavery was in no wise the cause of the conflict.” It’s a straight line from Davis’ amnesia to McDonnell’s omission. The governor seeks to render the Confederacy harmless, to be a Confederate without controversy. He seeks to validate the vestigial Southern impulse which insists, contrary to logic, that the tragic suffering and incontestable bravery of Confederate forebears must somehow redeem the awful cause for which they fought. But the simple truth is, they do not. Nor can they until or unless we agree to murder memory, to kill recollection of our greatest national trauma, to enter into a conspiracy of romantic lies. Confederate hero John Mosby, quoted above, understood this. Even J.D., the unrepentant racist, did. It is past time the entire remnant of the Confederacy, all its apologists and battle flag fetishists, understood it, too. The alternative is to continue insisting upon sophistry as truth, and to periodically embarrass themselves and mystify the rest of us with their stubborn fealty to the stinking corpse of a long lost cause. It is to learn for the umpteen-millionth time what the governor was just taught. Memory dies hard.

Are racial Democrats are AWOL with any differences semblance of leadership on the budget in the genes? Y T he blatant and undeniable fact that different racial, ethnic and other groups have had radically different economic and intellectual achievements for centuries, in countries around the world, has led to widely varying theories and widely varying political and other reactions. A hundred years ago, during the Progressive era in the United States, the dominant explanation was that different genes made different races either more capable or less capable. Similar views prevailed on the other side of the Atlantic, among people on both the left and the right, many of whom urged eugenics, in order to prevent “inferior” groups from reproducing. The problem with this explanation was that it ignored the great changes in the relative positions of races over the centuries. In medieval times, Europeans could not match the achievements of the Chinese, but in later centuries their relative positions reversed – and there was no evidence of any fundamental change in the genes of either the Chinese or the Europeans. Much was made of the fact that, within Europe, “Nordics” were prospering more so than the peoples of Mediterranean Europe. But, a thousand years earlier, the reverse OPINION was true. A 10th century Muslim scholar pointed Thomas out that the farther north Sowell you go in Europe, the more ■■■ pale the people become and the “farther they are to the north the more stupid, gross, and brutish they are.” However much such words might be dismissed or condemned today, there is no reason to say that these words were untrue as of the time they were said. So many things that have been said about race may have had some basis as of a given time, even if the sweeping conclusion that these are immutable traits does not stand the test of time. Today’s racial dogmas are no more realistic, when they try to dismiss or downplay behavioral and performance differences among racial and ethnic groups, blaming different outcomes on the misdeeds of others. Nothing is easier to find than sins among human beings. But the fatal misstep is to assume that those sins must be the reason for the differences we see. The more fundamental question that almost never gets asked is whether there was ever any realistic basis for expecting different racial, ethnic or other groups to all have the same skills and orientations, even if they all had the same genetic potential and there were no injustices. Those who see differences among groups as being due to environment, rather than heredity, too often think of environment as the current immediate surroundings. But a major part of any group’s environment is the culture that they have inherited from the past. One of a number of factors that has made Western Europeans more prosperous than Eastern Europeans is that Western Europe was conquered by the Romans, so that Western European languages acquired Roman letters, centuries before the languages of Eastern Europe had written versions. Being conquered by the Romans was one of those historic happenstances with enduring consequences. For those who were conquered, it could be a traumatic experience, for the Romans could be both brutal and oppressive. Their abuses in Britain caused a massive uprising of the Britons, who were slaughtered by the thousands. Nevertheless, even such a British patriot as Winston Churchill said, “We owe London to Rome.” The enduring cultural advantages that the peoples of Western Europe acquired as a result of being conquered by Rome in no way justifies the Romans morally. But the fact is that the advantages that Roman civilization brought to Western Europe allowed Western Europeans to advance earlier and faster in a wide range of endeavors. In a similar way, the fact that people of African ancestry in the United States have a far higher standard of living than the people of African ancestry still living in sub-Saharan Africa, is due to injustices and abuses inflicted on black Americans’ ancestors. Causation and morality are two different things, however much they get confused today by politicians and the media.

For a few months there, liberals were beginning to wonder if they could ever spend with abandon again. Now, they have even a sliver of empirical evidence that all those taxes raised on financial institutions have started to pour in. Katie, bar the door. It’s time to go shopping, Federal government style!

If you were fed major services such as free health care and told you had a moral right to everything the federal government provided through its nanny doctrine, after a while, don’t you think you’d be duped, or at least so gluttonously fat off the largesse you couldn’t move even if you wanted to? Think it’s not happening? Think again.

Fresh off a trillion dollar hangover, congressional Democrats are reminded they have to return from recess and actually govern according to the laws of the land. Chief among them is Congress actually having to produce a budget on how it will run the government for the next fiscal year. And yet, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are thinking that’s not such a good idea. A budget merely complicates and formalizes their runaway habits, and that’s much too nasty to have on paper, especially at this time. So come the statutorilymandated deadline of today (April 15) for Congress to produce a budget, Democrats will be AWOL on the subject. Nevermind that at the most desperate time when hardships abound, the first thing families do is sit

down and pen a new budget, congressional Democrats do the exact opposite. Not only is their spending so shameful, they no longer want to be bothered by writing it down! We’re so bankrupt as a country that even our kids and grandchildren will be on the hook for cleaning up this mess, and now they don’t want to tell us how it will all be spent? The situation would be laughable if it weren’t so dire.

Christians are answering calls for help BY GENE RIFFELL

R

ecently this newspaper published a commentary written by a regular columnist that posed a very interesting question: “Where are all the Christians?” I believe that a more relevant question is, “Where should Christians be?” For people of faith, there is not a better source for finding an answer to the latter question than the words of Jesus that were spoken to the most ambitious and selfdetermined of his disciples, who momentarily had a break in his faith, became overwhelmed by shame and then was restored. He then became an ardent evangel for Christ, dedicating his life to being where Jesus wanted him to be. Peter is an excellent example for us to consider. When he denied that he was a Christ follower, he sank into overwhelming despair and this boisterous, self-assured man was reduced to helpless weeping. Peter was no god, just a broken man

GUEST COLUMN

that had his own laundry list of personal flaws. Peter models for us that faith lost can be restored and that un-Christ like behavior can be changed into productive Christian living. This restoration was not a complicated process and is best illustrated in the Gospel of John, chapter 21. Jesus asked Peter three times, “Do you love me?” Peter answers the last question by saying, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus certainly knew that Peter loved him, so the restoration was already complete. Jesus’ next statement answers the question that I posed, “Where should Christians be?” Jesus told Peter, “Feed my sheep.” Christians today are still following this simple twostep plan, we love Jesus and we should be engaged in the process of sharing Christ’s love with others. We must be active in the work of feeding sheep. No, Christians aren’t perfect

and far too often fall short of Christ’s desires for us. God’s grace provides the means for restoration and the Bible, God’s Word to us, provides the instruction we need for improvement. It can’t be denied that we need to do a better job at reflecting Jesus’ love. Christians reflecting the love of Jesus can be seen everywhere. They are the bright lights that shine out to those who struggle in the darkness of despair and hurt. You can spot them in the halls of our hospitals, in the cells of our prisons, on the streets delivering boxes of food to our neighbors in needs and working in our homeless shelters. Christians are certainly not the only ones doing these things, but they undoubtedly do a disproportionate amount of this important work. Where are the Christians? I saw them on our southern coast cleaning up after Katrina had ravaged New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. They were there scraping mud from flooded houses,

rebuilding churches, working tirelessly to remove toxic mold from walls and delivering housewares that would enable families to reestablish themselves. Where are the Christians? I saw them in Haiti after the earthquake had devastated the country, laboring without proper equipment to recover the loved ones of people that they would never meet. They are still there in great numbers, and I predict that they will be there for years to come, engaged in rebuilding and encouraging, freely giving of their personal resources of time, energy and material goods. Where are the Christians? I see them in our houses of worship and their encouraging smiles prod me to love more, to serve more. Where are the Christians? We are feeding sheep. This simple, yet profound, directive that Jesus gave to Peter is still relevant to all Christians today. Feeding sheep is important work! GENE RIFFELL lives in High Point.

President slips, other Democrats slide in poll

AP

President Barack Obama (right) speaks in the Cabinet Room of the White House in Washington Wednesday during a meeting with Congressional leaders to discuss Wall Street reform. Also shown are (from left) House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Md., House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of Calif.

Lawmakers debate financial reform WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House and congressional Republicans sparred Wednesday over how to protect taxpayers against “too big to fail” financial institutions, sharply disagreeing on whether legislation backed by President Barack Obama would leave the government on the hook for bailing out firms whose failure might threaten the economy. Obama, meeting with House and Senate leaders of both parties, insisted on a tough bill, specifically singling out oversight of previously unregulated financial instruments. How to regulate these products, known as derivatives, has become the latest point of friction between Democrats and Republicans. But as the Senate prepares to begin debate

in less than two weeks on legislation revamping regulation of the financial industry, the question of bailouts has elevated the sharp partisan differences over how to respond to the 2008 crisis that caused a near meltdown on Wall Street. Both sides were testing populist messages, seizing on public disdain for big financial institutions. The White House argued opposition to the bill amounted to support for Wall Street banks; Republicans countered that the Obama-backed bill would perpetuate bailouts for Wall Street firms rather than end them. Obama, speaking briefly to reporters before the closed meeting began, said he was “absolutely confident that the bill that emerges

is going to be a bill that prevents bailouts. That’s the goal.” Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner later said that the cost of taking down large failing financial institutions will be borne by big banks, not taxpayers. The House and Senate bills call for funds, financed by large financial institutions, to cover the costs of liquidating firms deemed too large to go through bankruptcy proceedings. Republicans have argued that the funds would not be sufficient and that taxpayers could still be on the hook to pay to deal with giant failures. They also argue that emergency loan authority by the Federal Reserve could also amount to a financial bailout.

US still hopes to take bin Laden alive WASHINGTON (AP) – Under pressure from Republican critics, Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday the U.S. still hopes to capture and interrogate Osama bin Laden but expects the al-Qaida leader won’t be taken alive. Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Holder was peppered with questions about terrorism issues, including the planned shutdown of the Guantanamo Bay de-

tention center and where those suspects should be sent for trial. The hearing didn’t have the confrontations that marked his appearance last month before House lawmakers, however. During the earlier hearing, questions about what legal rights might be granted to suspected terrorists led Holder to tell lawmakers the chances of capturing the al-Qaida leader alive were very slim and “we will be reading Mi-

randa rights to the corpse of Osama bin Laden.” On Wednesday, Holder again tried to deflect questions about what would happen were bin Laden taken alive. The committee’s senior Republican, Jeff Sessions of Alabama, insisted the U.S. needs a policy on how to handle bin Laden, particularly whether he should be read his Miranda rights – including the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney.

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama’s national standing has slipped to a new low after his victory on the historic health care overhaul, even in the face of growing signs of economic revival, according to the latest Associated Press-GfK poll. The survey shows the political terrain growing rockier for Obama and congressional Democrats heading into midterm elections, boosting Republican hopes for a return to power this fall. Just 49 percent of people now approve of the job Obama’s doing overall, and less than that – 44 percent – like the way he’s handled health care and the economy. Last September, Obama hit a low of 50 percent in job approval before ticking a bit higher. His high-water mark as president was 67 percent in February of last year, just after he took office. The news is worse for other Democrats. For the first time this year, about as many Americans approve of congressional Republicans as Democrats – 38 percent to 41 percent – and neither has an edge when it comes to the party voters want controlling Congress. Democrats also have lost their advantage on the economy; people now trust both parties equally on that, another first in 2010. Roughly half want to fire their own congressman.

Rep. Miller names 48 mines that could face scrutiny WASHINGTON (AP) – The chairman of a congressional panel that oversees mine safety on Wednesday released a list of 48 mines that could face greater scrutiny if not for delays in assessing the safety violations filed against them. Rep. George Miller, DCalif., said he wants the public to have all relevant information about potentially dangerous mines in the hope of avoiding another disaster. The list includes the Upper Big Branch Mine in West Virginia, where 29 miners died in an explosion last week. Twenty-one others on the list are coal mines in West Virginia. Included are four coals mines in Kentucky and one coal mine each in Illinois, Virginia, Utah, Wyoming, Kansas and Arizona. The remaining 16 mines are metal and nonmetal mines in 15 states.

Bouquets left in honor of 29 men killed in an explosion at Massey Energy’s Upper Big Branch Mine adorn the coal miners’ memorial at the West Virginia Capitol, in Charleston on Tuesday. All 48 mines on the list have been cited for a large number of serious safety violations. But mine operators are contesting many

of those citations. Only violations that are fully resolved can be considered in the count that would trigger tougher penalties.

Iran could be a year away from bomb strike has not been ruled out. President Barack Obama has said he won’t “take any options off the table with respect to Iran,” Undersecretary of Defense Michele Flournoy said. “Now, that means to me that military options remain on the table.” Iran is pursuing an aggressive missile program, including intercontinental missiles it would need outside expertise to per-

That is not the same thing as saying that Iran is closing in on the means to launch a nuclear attack on the United States, but the comments were among the Obama administration’s most precise public assessments of Iran’s military abilities and intentions.

Thomasville area churches combine to help needy families BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Ten churches from Thomasville and surrounding areas will come together Saturday with hopes to meet the needs of individuals and families during tough economic times. Stephanie Atwood, a member of Carolina Memorial Baptist Church,

is one of the organizers of Hands of Hope, an event that also took place last year for the first time. The event will take place at the Thomasville Central Recreation Center, 205 E. Main St. from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday. “We decided that the need is still there, so it’s something that we are actually going to do twice a year,” Atwood

said. “It’s been over six months, so we are going to have another one.” Atwood said about 1,500 people attended last year’s event and the churches are preparing for about 2,000 this year. Participating churches include Southgate Baptist, Trinity United Methodist, Emmanuel Baptist, First United Methodist, Hispanic Mission of Thomasville,

Park Place Baptist, Cid United Methodist, Christian Cathedral, Mt. Zion Wesleyan and Carolina Memorial Baptist. The churches plan to give away food boxes that are enough to feed a family of four for a week, as well as free clothing and haircuts. A free hot dog lunch will start at 11 a.m. while supplies last. Davidson County EMS also will be on site to give

free medical screenings and the Davidson County Department of Social Services will be available for people to sign up for food stamps and other benefits. For children, the churches will be holding crafts, recreation and a story time. The churches also will be providing transportation for those who can not get to the recreation center. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

PETA asks mayor to halt to horse-drawn carriages NEW BERN – The nonprofit animal advocacy group PETA sent a letter to New Bern Mayor Lee Bettis on Tuesday asking that the city ban horse-drawn carriages “before another tragedy strikes,� referring to Saturday’s vehicle accident with a carriage on Broad Street. The letter from the Norfolk, Va.-based People for the Ethical Treatment of

Animals lists accidents with horse-drawn carriages that have occurred in other U.S. cities, and the potential hazards to horses pulling carriages and to their passengers. The accident occurred Saturday when the driver of a car rear-ended a carriage carrying a Raleigh couple on a tour of the city. The impact of the accident set the horse off running, pulling the carriage and its occupants behind

her. The carriage driver and two passengers were able to get off near the Country Biscuit Restaurant, about 4/10 of a mile away. However the horse, a spotted draft horse named Suzi, continued on with the carriage behind her until New Bern police stopped her on Walt Bellamy Drive, at least another quarter mile away. The carriage driver and passengers were sent to the hospital and later released. New Bern police

Woman is weary of hosting every time in-laws visit

D

ear Abby: My in-laws (whom I love dearly) moved to another state after retirement, and when they come to visit they always stay with us. They own a house next door that is occupied by their daughter, and they also have another child living nearby. How can I politely suggest that they stay in their own house with their daughter or with the other child? Both have the space to accommodate them. I work very early morning hours and don’t want to disturb them, but they pretty much take over our house when they are here. I don’t know if the other children offer them a place to stay or not, but I’m tired of having them here every time they visit. – Stuck in The Southwest Dear Stuck: Discuss this with your husband and his siblings. It’s possible that the other children haven’t extended an invitation to the parents to stay with them. And if you view it from another perspective, it’s unfair to the others that the parents slight them by staying with you when they’re in town. Dear Abby: I am not gay or bisexual, but I’m in love with my boss, who is a female like me. She’s 27 and I am 17. She is married and doesn’t know how I feel about her. I looked up her address on the Internet and got directions to her house.

ADVICE Dear Abby â– â– â–

I drive by every day – don’t ask me why. I told her I have a friend who lives on the same street that she does, and that I saw her car in the

driveway. About a month ago, she caught me driving by as she was pulling out of her driveway. Two days ago, she called my mother – they have been friends for years – and asked, “What’s wrong with ’Janie’? She pulled my address up from a computer. I saw her driving past my house.� That’s all my mom told me, but how in the heck did she find out? I still have the printout in my bedroom, and it’s still in the same position it was, so I don’t think my mom saw it and told her about it. Only three of my closest friends know, and I don’t think they repeated anything because they have no reason to – and they don’t know my boss. What’s going on here?

Blust faces challenge in Republican primary MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

GREENSBORO – Rep. John Blust has never been one to hold back during legislative debates, particularly when he believes those who run the House are not obeying the rules of the chamber. Republican voters in House District 62, which covers northwest Greensboro and Guilford County, must decide whether they want to keep the outspoken Blust, 55, or replace him with Michael Garrett, a 25-yearold challenger who says he would be better able to work with Democrats.

The winner of the May 4 primary will face Libertarian Jeffrey Simon in the November general election. Early voting begins Thursday. Earlier this decade when Jim Black and Richard Morgan were cospeakers, Blust’s pointed jabs earned him a seat in the back row of the House chamber, a broom closet of an office and little chance of his bills passing. Although Democrats control the chamber outright and Blust still needles the leadership over procedural issues, he’s had legislation pass the House and seen some of his ideas incorporated

Breyer has advice for nominee DURHAM (AP) – U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer has some advice for anyone hoping to be his newest colleague: don’t get clever. Breyer spoke to a large group at Duke University Law School in Durham on Wednesday, with topics ranging from his childhood to how he approaches the law. Breyer, who has been on the court since 1994, says the best way for nominees to get through the Senate confirmation process is to listen clearly to senators’ questions and not try to get clever with their answers.

into other bills. In turn, his effectiveness ranking by the Center for Public Policy Research has climbed. Still, challenger Michael Garrett said voters should swap out their local lawmaker. “I don’t really feel that John has done a stellar job of representing us. ... Fundamentally, on principles and on the issues, we’re not that far off. I think as far as our approach to representing the community, that’s where we’re different,� Garrett said. Blust’s sometimes strident tones have not served the community well, Garrett said.

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

BURLINGTON – The race of some students in the Alamance-Burlington School System determines which school they attend. School board members are considering ways to change that, which appears likely to lead to a broader discussion about diversity in local schools. In 2009, a federal judge ruled that the school system had met its obligations to address remnants of racial segregation during previous decades. As a result of the ruling, school board members this week looked at plans to eliminate race-based attendance at some schools that were part of the former Alamance County system. The plan had been designed to achieve diversity in terms of the number of white and black students at the schools. At the time, there were few Latino students. The plan affected, and continues to affect, students whose families live in parts of northern Alamance County. If the board approves the change proposed by school system administrators, both black and white students in the boundary areas would go to Pleasant Grove based on its capacity to hold additional students compared to space at the other schools. Superintendent Randy Bridges is recommending that students currently assigned to a school based on their race be allowed to stay at the school, as well as continue to the middle school and high school in the same attendance zone.

Answer: First, start by purchasing 1-yearold crowns. Many garden centers have them in stock right now, or several of the mail order companies will also ship these crowns. A crown is the root system of a 1-year-old asparagus plant that is grown from seed. Each crown can produce a half-pound of spears per year when fully established. Select the new allmale hybrid asparagus varieties such as Jersey giant, Jersey prince and Jersey knight. These varieties produce spears only on male plants. The all-male hybrids out-yield the old Mary Washington varieties by three-to-one. Asparagus grows in almost any soil as long as it has good internal drainage. Asparagus roots do not like waterlogged soils that will lead to root rot. It prefers a soil pH of 6.57.5 and will not do well if the pH is less than 6.0. Have the soil tested to determine phosphorus and potassium needs. Asparagus can be planted in late winter after danger of hard freezes is over, but before plant growth starts. This is typically when the soil has warmed up to about 50 degrees. There is no advantage to planting the crowns in cold, wet soils. They will not grow until the soil warms, and there is danger of the plants being more susceptible to fusarium crown rot if crowns are exposed to cold, wet soils over a prolonged period. Plant the asparagus at either the west or north side of the garden so that it will not shade the other vegetables and will not be injured when the rest of the garden is tilled. Dig a furrow no deeper than 5 to 6 inches. Research shows that the deeper asparagus crowns are planted, the more the total yield is reduced. Apply about 1 pound of 0-46-0 (triple superphosphate) or 2

pounds of 0-20-0 (superphosphate) fertilizer per 50 feet of row in the bottom of the furrow before planting. This will make phosphorus immediately available to the crowns. Space the crowns 1½ feet apart in the row. If more than one row is planted, space the rows 5 feet apart from center to center. Wide between-row spacing is necessary because the vigorously growing fern will fill in the space quickly. Wide spacing also promotes rapid drying of the fern to help prevent the onset of fungus diseases. After planting, back-fill the furrow to its original soil level. Do not compact the soil over the newly filled furrow or the emergence of the asparagus will be severely reduced. Spears should emerge within one week in moist soils. Dp not harvest the asparagus during the planting year. Spears will be produced from expanded buds on the crown. As the spears elongate and reach a height of about 8 to 9 inches, the tips will open. The spear will become woody to support the small branchlets that become ferns. The ferns produce food for the plant and then move it down to the crown for next year’s spear production. A limited harvest of asparagus can be made the second year after planting and can occur for about two weeks or until the spear starts getting small in diameter. Be careful not to overharvest asparagus. Asparagus should be harvested when the spears are 6 to 8 inches in length and the tips are still tight.

ECT is effective and safe treatment for depression

GARFIELD

BLONDIE

B.C.

HAGAR THE HORRIBLE

FOR BETTER OR WORSE

ear Dr. Donohue: I am a physically fit, older woman who has suffered from depression for a long time. The antidepressants I am able to tolerate are no longer helpful. Naturopathic remedies have not helped. My psychiatrist recommends ECT. I’ve learned that I likely will need numerous treatments, and I can expect several days of disorientation following each one. I’d like to know how safe ECT is and to what extent it impedes memory. – G.S.

D

ECT is a valuable tool for depression that doesn’t respond to medicines HEALTH or talk therapy. Six to 12 Dr. Paul treatments, Donohue spaced over ■■■ two to four weeks, are standard. Prolonged depression has more deleterious health consequences than does ECT. You have nothing to fear and much to gain.

ECT, electroconvulsive therapy, also called electroshock therapy, suffers an unwarranted stigma from images conveyed in books and films showing how this antidepression treatment was performed in the 1930s and 1940s. Today, if you witnessed ECT, you’d ask when the shock was going to be given long after it had been given. Patients are premedicated with muscle relaxants so no part of the body moves during the treatment. The entire procedure is done while the patient appears to be sleeping quietly. The seizure, which isn’t seen, lasts only 30 seconds. Breathing, heart rate and blood pressure are carefully monitored. In about five minutes, the patient wakens and is a bit confused for 45 minutes. Memories of events before therapy might be foggy, but they recover in time for most. The shock does no brain damage.

Dear Dr. Donohue: A couple of years ago, I noticed that my 6-year-old daughter’s heart would occasionally have irregular beats when she was resting. It would pause for two or three seconds, beat really hard, have some random beats and then start over. There’s no pattern to this. We’ve taken her to several doctors and have had EKGs done, but they haven’t caught the irregular beats. In the past six months, it has gotten worse. It beats really fast and hard for about a minute, as if she were sprinting. The last time it happened, we rushed her to the hospital because she was in tears from the pain. By the time we arrived, her heart rate was back to normal. What could this be? Why does the fast heartbeat cause her pain? Is this serious enough for her to be on medication? – D.M.

Without documentation on what’s happening

during these episodes, only guesses can be made. If the irregular beat can be captured on a tracing, definite statements are possible. Has your daughter ever worn a Holter monitor? It’s a device that records all heartbeats that occur while it is attached. It’s not a burden and not inconvenient. No restrictions are placed on what she does during the recording period. It can be worn for up to three days. If no information comes from the Holter monitor, then my recommendation is that she sees a pediatric cardiologist. She could have a number of heart tests done to check her heart’s health. Then the doctor can make a reasonable estimation of whether these episodes should be suppressed with medicines. I don’t know why the fast heartbeat causes her pain. It would be easy to get her heart beating rapidly and then take an EKG to see if any changes are occurring then. Dear Dr. Donohue: Please tell me if a woman can become pregnant while breastfeeding. – D.F. When a woman breastfeeds, she has 98 percent assurance of not becoming pregnant in the first six months following the birth of the baby. Breastfeeding has to be consistently done to obtain this degree of assurance. It can’t be hitand-miss.

King files for divorce from wife

NJ school: We didn’t tell your boys to cross-dress MAPLE SHADE, N.J. (AP) – A teacher’s explanation to parents of a women’s history project planned for her third-graders contained these words: “If your child is a young man, he does not have to wear a dress or skirt.” That didn’t stop a parent and a blogger from complaining that little boys were being asked to cross-dress as part of the “gay agenda.” From there, the Maude Wilkins School’s project about the evolution of women’s clothing quickly took on a life of its own – and

now it’s been called off completely. “In hindsight,” Superintendent Michael Livengood said Wednesday, “maybe a different activity could have been chosen that was a little bit more relevant to history.” The latest saga began this month when teacher Tonya Uibel sent a letter home with her pupils announcing that all third-graders were required to participate in a Women’s History Month project examining how women’s fashion has changed over time.

Court ponders fan suit over Jets-Pats Spygate PHILADELPHIA (AP) – The New England Patriots could find themselves defending a lawsuit by NFL fans miffed about their secret videotaping of signals from New York Jets coaches. The NFL bans such videotaping and issued $750,000 in fines against

the Patriots and coach Bill Belichick after they were caught taping signals at the Jets’ 2007 home opener. Lawyer Carl Mayer, a Jets season ticket holder, argued in a U.S. appeals court Wednesday that fans spent vast sums of money to see games that

were essentially rigged. His suit, earlier dismissed by a lower court, seeks $185 million in damages for Jets fans alone. Mayer, who asked the appeals court to revive the suit, said he hopes to learn the extent of the Patriots’ taping, dubbed Spygate, through discovery.

Octuplets mom to appear on Oprah LOS ANGELES (AP) – Nadya Suleman’s attorney says the octuplets’ mother will appear on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” next week and discuss how she is raising her 14 kids. Jeff Czech told the Orange County Register Tuesday Oprah sent a crew to film at Suleman’s La Habra home last week. He says Suleman went to a Los Angeles studio to film an interview with Oprah, scheduled to air April 20. Czech says the interview covered “straight talk” about surviving with her family of 14 and Oprah asked his client “some hardballs.”

Thursday, April 15, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Seth Rogen, 28; Emma Watson, 20; Emma Thompson, 51; Roy Clark, 77 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Be prepared to take a chance when it comes to your personal situation this year. If you act fast and in private, you will gain the most with the least amount of stress. Money issues may make you vulnerable. Don’t leave anything to chance if you want your life to run smoothly. Prepare to fight for what you want. Your numbers are 6, 18, 21, 25, 27, 30, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): The future prospects look very good as long as you stick to facts and offer what you know you can supply. A challenging activity will ease your stress and help you make an important decision. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Criticism will lead to bad feelings and emotional distancing, so praise others for a job well done. Listen to the suggestions offered. Minor mishaps or feeling a little under the weather will be due to stress. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take on a little extra if you notice someone is not feeling up to par. Your help will be reciprocated. A secret you trusted with someone in the past is not safe. Reveal the information before someone else does. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can talk all you want and you will command attention but it’s what you do that will count. You have options to make some very crucial changes in your life both personally and professionally. Take advantage of what’s offered. ★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t be too surprised if you have to do things on your own. Waiting around for others to catch up will be a waste of time. You may have to let go of some of the people in your life who are holding you back. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Present, promote and share everything you want to pursue and you will get good feedback and excellent help. Romance is in the stars, so get out in social settings. Travel, attending functions and networking will all pay off. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Concentrate on what needs to be done at home and with your personal papers in order to make things easier and less stressful. Getting behind financially or neglecting a pending problem will add to your worries. Talk to someone who can offer you sound advice. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Relationships will be a key to your success. A change in the way you approach life, love and the people around you will make a huge difference when an important life decision arises. Be ready to make a move. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Added responsibilities can be expected. Don’t try to pass what’s being asked of you to someone else. Uncertainty regarding your personal and professional future will have you questioning what to do next. Move quickly before you face opposition. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Making improvements around home will lift your spirits. Alterations to the way you’ve been living or the people in your life can be expected and should be welcomed. You are in dire need of a change. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There will be a fine line between being offended and offending others. A dispute can be avoided if you proceed with caution and do your best to be pleasant and noncommittal. Don’t meddle in other people’s affairs. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Traveling back in time mentally will help you remember some of the people who have meant something special to you in the past. An unusual relationship will transpire if you are open about your feelings. ★★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

I was in the club lounge with Cy the Cynic and my friend the English professor when the prof mentioned a colleague who is terrified of misspelled words. “Sounds like a ‘fobia’ to me,” Cy said. The prof admits to his own phobia: watching his partners’ dummy play. He was North, and at five diamonds South took West’s queen of clubs with the ace and pondered, while the prof chewed a nail nervously. Finally, South led a heart from dummy. East won and led the ace and a low trump, and the prof rose and fled the table.

LONG SPADE South could ruff only one heart in dummy. He took the top spades and ruffed a spade, but when East discarded, South couldn’t set up and cash a long spade. He lost another heart. “I couldn’t bear to watch,” said the prof. South must start the spades at Trick Two: king, ace, spade ruff. He next concedes a heart. If East then leads the ace and a low trump, South wins in dummy, ruffs a spade, ruffs a heart and discards his last heart on the good spade.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 9 4 H A Q 6 D A 6 C K J 9 8 5 2. You open one club, your partner responds one heart, you rebid two clubs and he tries two spades. What do you say? ANSWER: Many players would have preferred a more encouraging raise to two hearts at your second turn. Since your partner has “reversed” as responder and promises a good hand, you should certainly make a forward-going bid now. Jump to four hearts to show strong three-card support. North 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.

WHO’S NEWS

AP

New Wake Forest basketball coach Jeff Bzdelik speaks during a news conference at BB&T Field in Winston-Salem on Wednesday morning.

Wellman goes with his gut T

rying to downplay a relationship that dates to the early 1980s, Ron Wellman attributed his instincts as one of the reasons he hired Jeff Bzdelik to be Wake Forest University’s 21st head basketball coach. “Sometimes it just comes down to a gut feeling,” Wellman said after Bzdelik was formally introduced as Dino Gaudio’s SPORTS successor at a press conference in the Greer press box at BB&T Smith Field. “I talked to ■■■ a lot of people that are in positions like mine. You evaluate the statistics and everything about the person factually and it comes down to how you feel about this person versus that person. What do I think this person can do for our program versus this other candidate? There were so many good candidates out there, it is difficult to separate them just upon fact.” Wellman fired Gaudio for poor postseason performances despite a 61-31 record. Bzdelik, who spent 17 years in the NBA as a coach and scout, is 111-105 as a college head coach with a 4-7 postseason record. The only winning mark on his resume is a 50-16 run at the Air Force Academy. He was 73-119 in just over two seasons with the Nuggets, but oversaw an improvement from 17-65 in 200203 to 43-39 and a playoff berth in 2003-04. “You have to look at the caliber of the teams and the seeding of those teams,” Wellman said. “You have to look at the whole ball of wax. He’s had some successes in postseason play. My question was does he have the

potential to be where we want to be throughout our program and the answer was resoundingly yes.” Wellman and Bzdelik knew each Wellman other when Wellman was the baseball coach and Bzdelik was an assistant basketball coach at Northwestern in the early 1980s. “We knew each other 25 years ago,” Wellman said. “But we weren’t friends. We didn’t go out socially. I watched basketball practice and he came to some baseball games. When we left Northwestern, we didn’t stay in touch. Next time I saw him, he was here scouting Dwyane Wade (for the Miami Heat). It wasn’t a hire on friendship, I can tell you that.” Wellman cited Bzdelik’s strong relationship with players and his efforts to turn around the program at Big 12 doormat Colorado as positives. Starting freshmen and sophomores, the Buffaloes improved from 9-22 in 2008-09 to 15-16 this past season under Bzdelik, who helped raise money for the building of new locker and weight training rooms. He is no stranger to North Carolina. He started his coaching career in the late ‘70s as an assistant with Rick Barnes and Bob McKillop at Davidson under Eddie Biedenbach while his wife worked at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Salisbury. Bzdelik said Wake was his dream job, citing the school’s academic reputation after coaching at Davidson, Northwestern and Air Force. He said he fell in love with Wake when the family drove through the campus on a trip several years ago. He has a summer

New Deacon coach hope youth is served next season. 3D home at Sunset Beach and his daughter is a student at Wake. “I would have taken the job even if she wasn’t a student here,” Bzdelik said. He called the opportunity to coach at Wake his dream job and said that contrary to some reports, he wasn’t offered the job until Tuesday night and that he almost didn’t come to North Carolina with Wellman to be interviewed on Monday.

“This is the only place I would have left (Colorado) for,” Bzdelik said. “I know how hard we worked building the program from scratch, raising money for the locker room and weight room, and to go out and try to increase fan support. Last year, we started three freshman and two sophomores and it came at a high cost of getting our tails whupped. We were just ready to bust out. That was the only reason I would have stayed. You want to be part of (the improvement at Colorado), but I know this is special and I couldn’t (turn it down).” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

HIT AND RUN

---

T

alk about a tough act to follow. The PGA Tour visits Hilton Head Island, S.C. for the Heritage tournament. The action starts today and runs through Sunday on one of the most scenic and picturesque courses on tour. But considering the tour just left Augusta National, which is the most scenic and most picturesque course this side of Pebble Beach, I doubt too many folks will tune in to see beaches and lighthouses this weekend. Besides, The Masters packed a month’s

worth of drama and excitement into one Georgia week. That tournament had everything. Over-50 stars Fred Couples and Tom Watson stuck around for all four rounds and Couples managed a top 10. The Tiger Woods soap opera was the ultimate golfing train wreck. It was a mess, but you couldn’t help watching. Saturday’s third round featured more great shots than a “Lone Ranger” rerun. And Sunday saw Phil Mickelson take his third green jacket and dedicate the victory to

his wife and mother, who are both battling breast cancer. Lefty’s emotional victory was one for the ages. How can the Heritage possibly hope to compete with all that major theator? It can’t. So enjoy the action at Hilton Head Island, die-hard golf fans. The rest of us need a week to recover from all the thrills and spills at Augusta.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

The Denver Broncos traded wide receiver Brandon Marshall to the Miami Dolphins for a second-round pick in next week’s draft and a second-rounder in 2011. Marshall has long wanted out of Denver, and got his wish when the Broncos pulled off their second blockbuster deal in as many seasons under coach Josh McDaniels. Denver sent quarterback Jay Cutler to Chicago last April for Kyle Orton and draft picks. Marshall posted his third consecutive 100-catch season last year and made his second straight trip to the Pro Bowl despite several run-ins with McDaniels both on and off the field. Marshall caught 101 passes last season, including an NFL-record 21 in a loss at Indianapolis, for 1,120 yards and 10 touchdowns were a career best. Marshall has 327 career catches for 4,019 yards and 25 TDs.

Bzdelik faces challenges BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

AP

Boston Red Sox shortstop Marco Scutaro tries to catch a ball that hits Minnesota Twins Delmon Young as he dives back to second base in the third inning of Wednesday’s game in Minneapolis.

Rain, Lackey dampen Twins THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS – Rain fell on the Minnesota Twins at home for the first time in 29 years and John Lackey dampened their bats. Lackey turned in a second strong start and Jeremy Hermida gave Boston room with a three-run double in the eighth inning, leading the Red Sox to a 6-3 win Wednesday in the second game at Target Field. Lackey (1-0) lasted 62⠄3 innings for his first Red Sox victory, lifted early by Marco Scutaro’s two singles and Dustin Pedroia’s RBI double and solo home run.

geles Angels showed signs of shaking their early slump, holding off the New York Yankees. Bobby Abreu and Kendry Morales each hit an RBI double off a rocky Javier Vazquez, and Los Angeles (3-6) finally got a first-rate performance on the mound after opening with its worst eight-game start since 1972.

Butler’s Hayward to test NBA waters

WINSTON-SALEM – Jeff Bzdelik won’t face quite the rebuilding job at Wake Forest he did upon taking the University of Colorado head coaching job three years ago. He still has work ahead of him. He won’t have to worry about facilities and his staff is in place with the retention of assistant coaches Rusty LaRue and Jeff Battle, plus director of basketball operations Walt Corbean. When it comes to talent to put on the court, it is a different matter as the Deacons lack numbers and experience, With the graduation of four seniors and the defection of Al-Farouq Aminu to the NBA, the Deacons have five scholarship players, one of them a transfer from Georgetown who won’t be game-eligible until January. Among the returnees is one starter, guard C.J. Harris, who will be a sophomore next season. Two others – forward Arie Stewart and center and center Tony Woods – regularly got into games. The other, center Ty Walker, was rarely used. “Anyone have any eligibility?� Bzdelik joked as he talked to the media on Wednesday. The lack of talent leaves Bzdelik hoping five highly-regarded players recruited by former coach Dino Gaudio will honor their commitments to play for Wake Forest. “I have a relatively young team and

BOONE – Appalachian State handed HPU a 12-7 loss Wednesday at Smith Stadium. Senior Max Fulginiti went 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored and hit his 19th double of the season for the Panthers. He now needs three doubles to set the single-season record at High Point. Junior Drew Dades made his third appearance of the season, pitching two scoreless innings, allowing just one hit with one strikeout. The Panthers fall to 17-18 (4-8 Big South Conference) and are below .500 for the first time this season. They will host Radford this weekend for a Big South Conference series.

HIGH POINT – College football is coming to Simeon Stadium in August. Winston-Salem State announced Wednesday it will open the 2010 season at the 10,000-seat facility against CIAA foe Virginia Union on Aug. 28 at 7:30 p.m.. The Rams usually play their home games at Bowman Gray Stadium but needed to move the Virginia Union game because Aug. 28 is the rain date for the last stock-car race of the season on BGS’ quartermile track. WSSU is dropping to Division II after an aborted attempt to move into Football Championship Subdivision in Division I. The Rams will play a full CIAA slate and nonconference games against N.C.

Mountaineers stop Panthers, 12-7

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Gordon Hayward couldn’t quite say no to the NBA’s money. He still hasn’t given his Butler teammates a definitive no, either. The 6-foot-9 sophomore announced Wednesday he would enter the draft but planned to keep open the possibility he might return to the school he nearly led to a national cham-

Horizon League player of the year and Most Outstanding Player of the West Regional, and along the way his draft stock soared. The announcement came on the same day two other players from Indiana, Purdue center JaJuan Johnson and Purdue guard E’Twaun Moore, announced they will enter the draft but will not sign with an agent, either.

youth in the ACC or Big 12 is challenging in itself,� Bzdelik said. “The freshmen are going to have a lot on their plate. We’ll have our challenges.� Bzdelik planned to get in touch with the recruits later Wednesday. He met with the retuning players as a group after he was hired on Tuesday night and was to meet with them individually on Wednesday and start working with them on the court today. “The style of play I want is simple – tough defense, culminated with defensive rebounds, get out and go, attack the rim quickly in transition,� he said. “I think if you investigate my background, my teams have always shot well and scored a lot of points.� His team at Colorado last season averaged 74.6 points per game and gave up 74.2 ppg. The Buffaloes were held under 60 points just twice. “I like creating offense off defense and getting deflections,� Bzdelik said. “You’ve got to be really sound. College players average hitting 45-46 percent of their shots when they are open, and in the 20s with a hand in their face. You’ve got to be rock solid and make people take contested shots. “I have an idea how I want us to play. But I also know that we need to take the talent we have and put them out there in situations where they will have the most success possible. We’ve got kids who haven’t played and the new kids, so we’ll have to make adjustments.�

Kahne, Hendrick set stage for 2012 BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

Looking toward the future, Rick Hendrick and Kasey Kahne are willing to go through a little bump in the track for the short term. Hendrick and Kahne officially announced Kahne will replace Mark Martin in Hendrick Motorsports’ No. 5 Chevrolet on the Cup trail in 2012. To do that, Kahne decided he will leave Richard Petty Motorsports when his contract runs out at the end of this season and go under contract to Hendrick in 2011. The problem facing Hendrick

now is to come up with a car for Kahne to drive next season. Kahne can’t drive for Hendrick Motorsports because all Kahne four of its cars, the maximum one organization can have, are full for next season with Jeff Gordon, Martin, Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. “We wanted to be together so bad that we decided we would figure out what he’s going to do next year later,” Hendrick said. “He’s going to drive the No. 9 car and I’m going to huddle with my

guys and we’ll make the best decision. We have locked in 2012. We just don’t know what we’re going to do in ‘11. We’ve got a lot of options.” One of the options is the addition of a third car at Tony Stewart’s team, which buys engines and chassis from HMS. Hendrick all but ruled out the addition of a Cup team at JR Motorsports, the Nationwide outfit owned by Hendrick and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Hendrick said it is his responsibility to get a ride for Kahne and he hopes to have something worked out in 90 days and that Kahne will drive a Chevrolet.

Martin and Johnson recommended Hendrick hire Kahne, who has won 11 races and 16 poles – all for the team that was started by Ray Evernham and is now owned by George Gillett and Richard Petty. “I have to look out for the future of my company,” Hendrick said. “All this came about after Mark said he doesn’t want to run the full schedule past next year. Sometimes you have a hard time matching when the seats come open with when a driver becomes available. Under the old rules, we would have started a fifth team. But we can’t.” Kahne said he had talked to

virtually every team in the series over the past two months and received a contract renewal offer from RPM. “It’s been on my mind for a long time about my future,” Kahne said. “Hendrick is a team you dream about driving for. When I talked to Mark and learned about place from Mark, he had good advice. It is a neat fit. If you have an opportunity to go there, you need to look at it, I didn’t know if they would want me. I had good conversations with each team, This is the one that worked out.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Toyota halts Lexus SUV sales WASHINGTON (AP) — Toyota Motor Corp. has suspended sales of the 2010 Lexus GX 460 after Consumer Reports warned car shoppers not to buy the sport utility vehicle because handling problems could cause them to roll over on sharp turns. Government safety officials are testing the SUV to try to replicate the magazine’s findings. Toyota said Tuesday it had asked dealers to temporarily suspend sales of the GX 460 while it conducts its own tests. About 6,000 GX 460s from the 2010 model year have been sold since they went on sale in late December, and an estimated 1,600 of the SUVs are at dealerships. The carmaker issued the

Feds tell airliner, unions to keep talking DALLAS (AP) — Federal officials have dealt labor unions at American Airlines a setback by refusing to start a 30-day countdown toward possible strikes. The National Mediation Board told the company and two unions they should continue to bargain over new contracts while the board considers the unions’ requests to declare a stalemate in negotiations.

JPMorgan Chase earns $3.3 billion NEW YORK (AP) — JPMorgan Chase & Co. reported a $3.3 billion first-quarter profit on big gains in the financial markets even as the Obama administration pressed for limits on banks’ trading of risky but lucrative investments. The company’s earnings report Wednesday also had some good news on the economy: The bank is seeing the clearest signs yet of recovery. The dollar amount of its loans in or near default fell during the quarter from the final three months of 2009.

Oil prices jump after drop in supplies NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices jumped more than 2 percent Wednesday after the government reported that crude supplies fell unexpectedly last week. Benchmark crude for May delivery climbed after the report, adding $1.93 at $85.98 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

temporary “stop sale” within hours after the popular consumer magazine raised the handling problem. It reflects Toyota’s attempt to respond more quickly to safety concerns after being castigated by the federal government for dragging its feet on recalls to address faulty gas pedals. The decision to stop selling the SUV adds another stain to Toyota’s safety reputation following the recall of more than 8 million cars and trucks worldwide over gas pedals that are too slow to retract or can become stuck under floor mats. Toyota faces a $16.4 million fine from the Transportation Department and has until April 19 to decide whether to contest the penalty.

The GX 460 is not covered by the pedal recalls. “We are taking the situation with the GX 460 very seriously and are determined to identify and correct the issue Consumer Reports identified,” said Mark Templin, Lexus vice president and general manager. Lexus will provide a loaner car for any customer who bought a 2010 GX 460 and is concerned about driving the vehicle, Templin said. Customers who have questions or concerns about the GX 460 can call Lexus at 800255-3987. Consumer Reports is closely read by many car buyers before choosing a new car or truck and has raised red flags over Toyotas before.

Bernanke confident on recovery WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress Wednesday that he has confidence the unfolding economic recovery will have staying power, although it won’t be strong enough to bring quick relief to high unemployment. Bernanke, testifying before Congress’ Joint Economic Committee, also once again called on lawmakers and the White House to come up with a plan to whittle down record-high budget deficits. Even though sizable deficits right now are “unavoidable” given the damage wrought by the recession, the persistence of red ink raises risks to the country’s long-term economic health, he said. A credible plan to pare the deficit could provide

the economy with benefits in the near term, including lower longer-term interest rates and increased consumer and business confidence, Bernanke told lawmakers. “Addressing the country’s fiscal problems will require difficult choices, but postponing them will only make them more difficult,” he warned. On the economy, Bernanke seemed slightly more optimistic that the fledgling recovery will keep on going after massive government stimulus fades later this year. Incoming economic barometers suggest that growth in demand by consumers and businesses “will be sufficient to promote a moderate economic recovery in coming quarters,” he said.

Reports show Americans upbeat on rebound WASHINGTON (AP) — A flurry of reports out Wednesday suggested that many Americans are feeling better about the economic rebound. Retail spending rose sharply and more than expected. Consumer inflation remains all but invisible. Businesses are boosting their stockpiles in anticipation of higher shopper demand. The latest evidence of a gradually strengthening recovery was a third straight month of retail sales gains reported by the government.

Better weather and auto incentives brought shoppers out in force in March. Sales surged 1.6 percent, the Commerce Department said, up from February’s revised 0.5 percent gain. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected a gain of 1.2 percent. The increases were across the board. Car dealers, home furnishing stores, building suppliers, sporting goods stores, clothing retailers and general merchandise stores all reported gains.

Earnings forecasts boost stocks NEW YORK (AP) — Upbeat forecasts from Intel Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. propelled the stock market higher for a fifth day. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index topped the 1,200 mark Wednesday for the first time in a year and a half. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 104 points and moved above 11,100. The good news came from all directions: Earnings reports and government figures on retail sales and inflation indicated that the economy is strengthening. One of the biggest forces behind the market’s climb came from JPMorgan Chase, which reported a better-than-expected profit for the January-March quarter. The bank is still facing big losses from souring consumer loans, but CEO Jamie Dimon said there have been clear improvements in the economy. The Dow rose 103.69, or 0.9 percent, to 11,123.11. The Dow closed over 11,000 on Monday for the first time since September 2008. It is up 2.1 percent in five days, its best advance since early March. The S&P 500 index rose 13.35, or 1.1 percent, to 1,210.65. Like the Dow, the S&P 500 index is at its best level since September 2008, when the financial crisis began.

Can’t pay? IRS will work with you NEW YORK — The IRS will make you an offer, and it’s one you shouldn’t refuse. If you owe taxes, but don’t have the money to pay the bill by tomorrow’s deadline, you’ll find some sympathy at the Internal Revenue Service. “There’s a big issue this year with people who can’t pay,” said Martin Press, a tax lawyer with Gunster Attorneys in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. One reason is that the unemployment spike and still struggling economy have resulted in more people pulling money out of Individual Retirement Accounts and 401(k) plans. Now they have to pay taxes and penalties on those funds. But the IRS will work with you if you’re in that spot. That is, if you take the right steps. First, file your return. If you can’t pay your tax bill you’ll face penalties and interest charges. The late payment penalty is one-half of 1

percent of any tax not paid by April 15. That translates to a $25 penalty if you owe $5,000. It is charged each month or part of a month the tax goes unpaid, up to 25 percent, or $1,250 on that $5,000. The interest, currently 4 percent, is compounded daily. The fine for not filing is 5 percent per month, or $250 for $5,000 due. It’s also capped at 25 percent. If you don’t have the time to finish your return, file for an extension to avoid the failure to file penalty. Also, don’t pay taxes on credit. The interest rate on your credit card is likely much higher than the 4 percent interest rate the IRS will charge, so it makes more sense to work out a deal with the government than to charge your taxes. Also, if you owe less than $25,000, you can request an installment plan online at www.irs. gov. You also can print the form and send in a request by mail.

BofA names new CFO CHARLOTTE (AP) — Bank of America said Wednesday it named an outsider, former Northrop Grumman executive Charles H. Noski, as its chief financial officer. Noski, 57, succeeds Joe Price, who now heads Bank of America’s consumer and small business banking division. That

unit includes the lending operations still struggling to recover from the financial crisis and the recession. Price had been CFO since January 2007. Noski will join the Charlotte-based bank on May 11. He had previously been CFO at the defense contractor Northrop Grumman.

Rural home buyer program nearly broke

Economists watch China with wary eye SHANGHAI (AP) — Economic growth and inflation data due out Thursday will show whether China’s balancing effort to keep growth fast and prices under control is working — or if more needs to be done to cool a stimulus-fueled boom. Beijing raised fuel prices Wednesday in a show of confidence about its ability to keep inflation in check. But analysts are watching Thursday’s announcement of first-quarter gross domestic product for signs an interest rate hike or more drastic ac-

tion is needed to prevent overheating. “We believe Beijing now needs to take another small step to exit from its stimulus policies,” Stephen Green, an economist for Standard Chartered Bank in Shanghai. “There are a number of reasons to be concerned that a nastier bout of inflation is in the works.” Also Wednesday, the government reported that housing prices in 70 major cities rose 11.7 percent in March from a year earlier — adding to alarm over a potentially dangerous bubble in real estate

prices and reinforcing expectations of an interest rate hike. Chinese leaders are striving to keep growth strong, so far with stunning results: the economy expanded by 10.7 percent in the final quarter of 2009 and analysts expect the January-to-March rate to have risen to nearly 12 percent. But planners face a challenge in checking inflation and curbing reckless, stimulus-fueled spending on unneeded factories and other assets that could leave a mountain of bad debts.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A federal loan program that has helped hundreds of thousands of Americans buy homes in rural areas is about to run out of money, potentially crippling the real estate market in many small communities. Since last fall, the loans from the Department of Agriculture have fueled much of the real estate business in some parts of the country. Real estate agents are pleading with Congress to find a way to keep the money flowing until more funding becomes available later in the year.

Call centers fined for employing kids OREM, Utah (AP) — Federal regulators say a Utah-based company that operates market research call centers has paid $500,000 in civil penalties for childlabor violations. Orem-based Western Wats Center Inc. says many of the violations were technical and that it was working to correct them before it was cited last August. The U.S. Department of Labor says Western Wats paid the fines in late December and didn’t dispute violations in the employment of nearly 1,500 teenagers at call centers in Utah, Arizona, Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming.
