Public discontent TRIAD – Area state legislators who haven’t had to worry during recent primary election seasons might have some sweat on the brow this spring. Of the 16 state representatives and senators serving Davidson, Guil-

ford and Randolph counties, six face challengers within their own party in Tuesday’s primary. In previous election cycles during the past decade, there have been years where no more than two area legislators confronted primary challengers. The outcome of area state legislative prima-

ries may indicate whether the perceived anti-incumbent mood with the electorate reflects more reality or hype, said Matthew DeSantis, assistant professor of political science at High Point University. “It will be a bit of a mandate on the status quo. We will be able to judge

Hege claims political foe has agenda

DETOUR AHEAD: Portion of Skeet Club Road to shut down. 2A

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Former Sheriff Gerald Hege says a Forsyth County resident leading efforts to try stop his bid for re-election has a personal agenda against him because of an arrest made by his administration in 1998. “The whole bottom line is that I put her brother in prison for 12 years for statutory rape,” Hege said, referring to Melisia Prout, president of Salvation’s Way. Prout, a Winston-Salem resident, led a group of Davidson County residents earlier this month to challenge Hege’s candidacy in the Republican Primary set for Tuesday. Prout’s brother, James Floyd Stanley Jr., was convicted in 1998 of statutory rape. Prout argues that her brother’s conviction has nothing to do with her attempt to stop Hege from becoming sheriff. “It has nothing to do with anything regarding my brother,” she said. “(Hege) was not involved in an investigation, arrest or questioning whatsoever. ... He absolutely had nothing to do with my brother’s case, as much as he would like people to believe that. Again, that is self promotion of his ego.” Salvation’s Way, a nonprofit established in 2000, is a free legal service offered to individuals and fam-

Prout changed the nonprofit’s address from 400 Oakgrove St., Linwood, to 4531 Kreeger Road, Winston-Salem, in January with the secretary of state’s office. Prout, who is the only member of Salvation’s Way, said her nonprofit has a board of directors, but would not release any further information Friday. According to Prout, Salvation’s Way, which had 100 members at its peak, had several dealings with Hege during the former sheriff’s tenure. In one instance, she appeared on Hege’s Court TV program, “Inside Cell Block F,” to confront the sheriff about a teenager who died in the Davidson County Jail. Hege said Friday an autopsy

revealed the teenager committed suicide, but Prout claims there was foul play with the sheriff’s office. Prout said she founded Salvation’s Way because of her experience growing up as a ward of the state. She said she has had “personal dealings with many benefactors of the court system” during her whole life. Prout is registered as an unaffiliated voter in Forsyth County, according to the N.C. Board of Elections Web site. She said she doesn’t support any candidate in the Davidson County’s sheriff race. Prout said she got involved in protesting Hege’s candidacy when several Davidson County residents asked her what could be done to stop the former sheriff from being elected. After studying state laws, she claims

County promises support for new clinic. 2A BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Arts supporters have started a campaign to urge county officials to spare the arts from budget cuts, and there probably will be others with similar concerns waiting for the Guilford County Board of Commissioners at a public hearing on the budget next week. The public hearing on County Manager Brenda Jones-Fox’s proposed $568.9 million 2011 budget

will be 5:30 p.m. Thursday. The budget offers no property tax increase, a reduction of $17.2 million, staff cuts and a reorganization of the public health department. The budget for community groups is $435,000. Most of that, $275,000, would go to the Interactive Resource Center in Greensboro, a day center for the homeless. Commissioners approved the donation last October to help with renovations. Debbie Lumpkins, executive director of the High Point Area Arts Council, alerted supporters by email to attend the Thursday meeting. Arts supporters emphasize how activities drive cultural

tourism and provide critical services. “The arts are part of the solution for stimulating the economy so we need more arts, not less,” Lumpkins said. In her budget message, Jones-Fox said the donation reductions for community groups follow a 2007 policy that reduces support over four years. • Community groups: The N.C. Shakespeare Festival would get $10,000, a 66 percent cut, and United Arts Council at $25,000, also a 66 percent cut. YMCA, Carl Chavis Branch, would drop to $16,667 from $25,000. NIA Community Action Center also would decline to $16,667 from

Salvation’s Way President Melisia Prout is leading a group of Davidson County residents challenging the candidacy of Gerald Hege. For more information on Salvation’s Way, contact Prout at 997-3072. Hege, a convicted felon, would be in direct violation of state law if elected because he would have control over firearms in the sheriff’s office. Prout and the Davidson County residents challenging Hege will get a hearing May 7 with the Davidson County Board of Elections.

$25,000. The I Am Now a homeless program would get no donation. • Libraries: The board already has heard from library supporters. The budget maintains funding at $385,000 for the High Point Public Library. • Economic development: The donation for Downtown High Point would drop from $40,000 to $26,000 and the High Point Market Authority donation from $75,000 to $50,000. High Point Economic Development also would get $50,000, down from $75,000. The Piedmont Triad Partnership would get $29,000, down from $44,000. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Art groups campaign against cuts. 1A BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – Although the county’s proposed 2011 budget eliminates the annual $1.6 million payment to Guilford Adult Health, County Manager Brenda Jones-Fox has promised support for a new clinic for the same indigent patients. The county will pay $4,500 per month for a 59-month lease for 4,100

the manager promised in her budget message. Health officials call the area north of Business Interstate 40-85 the 27406 community based on its postal zip code. Guilford Adult Care is operated and funded jointly by the county, Moses Cone Health System and High Point Regional Health System. The hospitals contribute about $3.5 million annually to Guilford Adult Care and the sister Guilford Child Care program. Many indigent patients qualify for assistance through Medicaid and Medicare. County officials and hospital representatives

Prison Health Services, a private company that provides health care in the county’s jails, would operate the new clinic. Initial plans discussed during a Board of Health meeting in March call for uninsured patients to pay per visit. The clinic also would accept Medicaid and Medicare payments. “Funds will be appropriated for the planned southeast medical clinic for indigent adults with chronic health issues,”

Other health programs facing cutbacks are Public Health Preparedness, which handles health emergencies such as flu outbreaks and natural disasters. It would be cut by $1.4 million. The department’s clinical health section, which offers immunizations and care for the poor and uninsured, would take a $2.1 million hit. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Dog bites child in Thomasville ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

THOMASVILLE – A 5-yearold boy was listed in stable condition after being bitten several times by a pit bull Friday afternoon, according to Thomasville police. Capt. Loren Wesley said the boy was playing outside and chased a ball into a lot where the pit bull was chained. The pit bull bit the boy several times. Officers responded to 329 Walker St. at 2:28 p.m.

in reference to a dog bite. The boy was transported to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. Wesley said the boy suffered severe lacerations to his foot and leg. According to a Thomasville police press release, the dog is owned by Don Gordon, of 329 Walker St. Wesley said he didn’t expect any charges against Gordon because the dog was on a chain and had all of its shots.

Easley’s campaign owes $210,000 RALEIGH (AP) – The campaign committee of former North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley has run out of money and owes $210,000 for legal bills and a penalty imposed by the State Board of Elections last fall. A campaign finance report filed last week by The

Mike Easley Committee shows it has yet to pay more than $116,000 in legal fees to two law firms. The committee also had yet to pay nearly $95,000 of the $100,000 penalty ordered by the board because the campaign failed to report dozens of private airplane flights.

Shanghai marks comeback with Expo show SHANGHAI â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A proud Shanghai celebrated the opening of the 2010 World Expo on Friday with a lavish riverside display of fireworks, fountains and laser lights that rivaled the stunning launch of the Beijing Olympics in its extravagance. For Shanghai, the Expo marks an emphatic comeback as a major world city after decades of spartan industrialism following the 1949 communist revolution.

North Koreaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest court sentenced Aijalon Mahli Gomes to eight years of hard labor and fined him $700,000 on April 6 for entering the country illegally and for an unspecified â&#x20AC;&#x153;hostile act.â&#x20AC;?

Officials: Ex-Pakistan spy found dead DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A former Pakistani intelligence officer abducted by an alleged militant group last month was found shot dead Friday in a northwest tribal region, officials said. Khalid Khawaja went missing in late March with another ex-intelligence official called Sultan Amir Tarar and a filmmaker. There was no word on the fate of the two others. The ex-spies have been known as supporters of Islamist causes and had past links with militants. Tarar helped establish the Taliban movement in Afghanistan in the 1990s.

The anthrax terrorism case is not resolved

n February, the FBI closed its case on the anthrax terrorist attacks of 2001. They’ve concluded that the sole perpetrator of the attacks was Dr. Bruce Ivins, who committed suicide in 2008 following intense pressure of the FBI’s investigation into him. The case against Ivins is entirely circumstantial. There’s no direct evidence linking him to the letters that contained the virulent form of the Ames strain of anthrax beyond the fact that he worked with the strain, as did potentially hundreds of others. One clear fact in the FBI’s case is that Ivins certainly appeared to have some form of mental illness. But that doesn’t necessarily imply his guilt in the attacks. Still, this is exactly what we are being told to believe. Another “lone gunman” in our midst, this time he’s a mad-scientist: the man had mental problems, he had access to the anthrax, he behaved erratically and he committed suicide as the FBI focused more and more heavily on him. Obviously he’s guilty. Case closed. For some, however, the case

is certainly not closed. The FBI had previously asked the National Academy of Sciences to review the scientific aspect of their investigation. OPINION Those NAS findings will not be revealed Robert until sometime this Healy summer. ■■■ Rep. Rush Holt represents the New Jersey district from which the anthrax letters were mailed. The New York Times quotes Holt Feb. 19: “Arbitrarily closing the case on a Friday afternoon should not mean the end of this investigation,” Holt said, noting that the National Academy of Sciences was still studying the FBI’s scientific work. He said the FBI report laid out “barely a circumstantial case” that “would not, I think, stand up in court.” Interestingly, aside from Ivins, the other “person of interest” the FBI pursued for years was Steven Hatfill, another military anthrax scientist. He was eventually

dropped as a suspect. And before Hatfill? There was microbiologist Perry Mikesell, also an anthrax specialist. He had worked with Ivins in the past. While the FBI was investigating him, in 2002, he died. At the time, Mikesell was working for Bettelle Memorial Institute, a little-known CIA and military bioweapons contractor that also possessed the relevant Ames strain of anthrax. But Ivins is the one. The only. The official. Anthrax killer. On March 18, Rep. Holt sent a letter to Peter Orszag, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, regarding the Obama administration’s obstructing his request for oversight into the investigation. He stated: “The bureau has asserted repeatedly and with confidence that the “Amerithrax” investigation is the most thorough they have ever conducted – claims they made even as they were erroneously pursuing Dr. Steven Hatfill. Instructing the DNI IG to ensure that all intelligence information was in fact passed to the FBI would not “undermine public

confidence” in the investigation. Many critical questions in this case remain unanswered, and there are many reasons why there is not, nor ever has been, public confidence in the investigation or the FBI’s conclusions, precisely because it was botched at multiple points over more than eight years. Indeed, opposing an independent examination of any aspect of the investigation will only fuel the public’s belief that the FBI’s case could not hold up in court, and that in fact the real killer may still be at large.” Note to FBI: It couldn’t. And they are. On April 22, The New York Times reported that Dr. Henry S. Heine, a former microbiologist for the U.S. Army who worked with Ivins, said he doesn’t believe Ivins is guilty and that at Fort Detrick, “among the senior scientists, no one believes it.” ROBERT HEALY is a veteran of the U.S. Army and graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-2 aving vitality is about having a zest or enthusiasm for life. It is being fully alive and engaged with life. A person with vitality enjoys life and does things because he or she wants to, not because These things I have spoken unto they have to. If we have lost you, that in me ye might have touch with what we love to peace. In the world ye shall have do, we should think about tribulation: but be of good cheer; what we loved doing as a I have overcome the world. child and try to reconnect John 16:33 with that. Sometimes just taking a walk through the woods or riding a bike can be revitalizing. Being outside, especially in nice weather, is almost always energizing. Many people find that doing something vigorous in the morning such taking a walk or exercising gives them increased energy throughout the entire day. To feel truly vital, we need to get adequate rest and fuel our bodies with healthy food. We should remember that the word “vitality” comes from the Latin word “vita” meaning life, so ultimately those things which are healthy and lifeenhancing should give us added vitality, whereas unhealthy habits tend to sap our vitality. Finally, we should remember that we are more than just physical beings; our spiritual sides must be nourished. We should not forget to engage in spiritual exercises and to reconnect with the ultimate source of our being, namely, God.

But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”

Priest in Brazil charged with abusing 8 boys RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Roman Catholic priest in Brazil is facing charges he abused eight boys in cases dating back to 1995, prosecutors said, adding to a growing list of allegations against clergy in Latin America. Father Jose Afonso, 74, is

accused of abusing altar boys between the ages of 12 and 16, Sao Paulo state prosecutors said in an e-mailed statement. Prosecutors said the reported abuses occurred this year, in 2009 and in 2001 in the city of Franca, about 250 miles

(400 kilometers) north of Sao Paulo city. At least one case was reported in 1995 in the neighboring state of Minas Gerais. Afonso remains free while a judge decides if he should be jailed. Calls to the Franca diocese

Wreck kills student, injures 3 ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – The High Point Christian Academy community was in mourning Friday after a two-car accident claimed the life of one student and left three other teenagers injured. The crash happened at 11:22 a.m. in the 900 block of Phillips Avenue in west High Point near the intersection with Westchester Drive. Justin Payne Simmons, 17, was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene, the High Point Police Department reported. The driver of the Chevrolet Blazer, Jacob Foster Nance, 17, also was

ejected from the vehicle. Nance was air-lifted to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. He was listed in critical condition Friday night, a hospital nursing supervisor said. The two other passengers in the Blazer – Alex Murr, 18, and Ivan Soldo, 19 – were injured and taken to High Point Regional Hospital. Murr and Soldo were released Friday afternoon, according to WXII-TV.

School takes library back in time BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

RANDOLPH COUNTY – Hoping to make reading fun for students, Tabernacle Elementary’s media center workers transformed a portion of the school’s library into a 1950s diner this week. At Tabernacle Elementary, it’s an annual tradition for the media center to undergo a makeover with a theme when the school has a book fair. The school has done camping, beach and winter themes. “You’ve got to make the school fun so they will want to come,” said Louise Parrish, the school’s secretary who was dressed up in poodle skirt. Peggy Tilley, the school’s media assistant, said she helps transform the media center a week before the book fair starts, so staff can get students “really excited and get them into the book fair.” “We were trying to get a group of people to come out and bring their old cars, but they’ve got a convention in Knoxville, (Tenn.),” Tilley said.

Trena Cox, (from left) Logan Carter, Troy Moss, Deana Stiltner, Madison Foisy, and Peggy Tilley gather inside the media center dressed in 1950s-era attire as part of the book fair at Tabernacle Elementary School on Friday. Despite not getting the classic cars, Troy Swaney, a neighbor of the school, let the school borrow a golf cart suited up like a 1957 Chevrolet. The golf cart was parked right outside of the school this week. In the school’s media cen-

ter, library workers had a counter set up for where soda and root beer floats would be served. Album records were on the wall, and 1950s music could be heard in the background. “I think that the students remember the excitement of

coming in here,” said Trena Cox, Tabernacle Elementary media specialist. “It associates reading with fun. It’s something to look forward to and enjoy. I think it also helps to promote of sense of community within the school because everybody

pitches in and helps, like the dress-up days.” Tilley said the school also had a contest for students, teachers and parents, who dressed up in 1950s attire, to win items from the book fair.

Dine Out for Hunger event set for Tuesday HIGH POINT – Attention food fans: If you’ve ever wanted a solid reason to go out to your favorite restaurant and enjoy a big meal, you’ll have one on Tuesday. About 30 restaurants from one end of High Point to the other will be participating in the annual Dine Out for Hunger event. The restaurants will donate 10 percent of the proceeds from that day to Open Door Ministries and West End Ministries, two non-profits that provide meals to those who are homeless or financially struggling. Last year, the event raised enough money for the organizations to provide 150,000 meals, said Steve Key, executive director of Open Door Ministries. The number of meals

that the event raises is especially important since one in 10 residents in the Piedmont Triad are at risk for hunger, up from one in 12 last year, Key said. “We have more people coming in asking for assistance,” he said.

Last year’s event raised enough money to provide 150,000 meals. “We have seen a big increase as far as the number of individuals being affected by job loss and not having as much money to make ends meet.” The Dine Out for Hunger event is being held in other parts of the Triad, including Greensboro and Winston-Salem.

Proceeds from those sales will be donated to other area food banks and meal programs. Some High Point restaurant owners say they sign up every year to participate because they can see the need within the community. “We see the need, especially since the economy went south,” said Esther Asprogiannis, owner of The Peppermill Cafe, which will be participating on Tuesday. “Sometimes you can see the homeless people out on the streets.” Many customers who come to the restaurant on the Dining Out for Hunger day don’t know about the event, but they embrace the opportunity to participate, she said.

Wray resigns from market authority ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – Kimberley Wray will leave her position as vice president of marketing at the High Point Market Authority in June, according to an announcement Thursday. A press release from the market authority said Wray, who joined the organization in July 2006, was leaving due to personal and family reasons. “My tenure with the market authority has been exceptionally rewarding, both personally and professionally,” Wray said. “Under the leadership of Brian Casey, we have been effective not only in meeting our competitive challenges, but also in successfully expanding our outreach during an economic downturn of

historic proportions.” Casey, president of the market authority, said Wray’s position would be filled. “We have already initiated our efforts to fill this position and expect to have a new person in place sometime this summer,” Casey said. “As the marketing plan for our fall 2010 event is already in place and our overall strategy encompasses our needs for the next couple of years, we expect a smooth and effective transition.” “Her writing skills and deep knowledge of our industry have been invaluable to us over the past four years,” Casey said about Wray. “Beyond that, all of us here at the authority have enjoyed working with her, and we wish Kim the very best in her future endeavors”

ADVICE THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SATURDAY, MAY 1, 2010 www.hpe.com

May NC have strawberry fields forever their niche. North Carolina is a leading producer of strawberries and ranks ECOLOGY third in the U.S. in Gwyn strawberry Riddick production, â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; based on value of the crop harvested according to USDA figures. Additionally, more than 1,700 acres are in production, which yields about 20.8 million pounds of the sweet berry. At $1 per pound this translates into $20.8 million in sales. More than 80 percent of these berries are grown from the Chandler variety, which is considered to be an annual plant that requires replanting each year. Perennial berries such as Earliglow and Tribute are also grown. Most home gardeners use perennial varieties such as these. According to the Agricultural Research Service of the USDA, these varieties are but two of many produced at their research breeding labs over decades in Beltsville, Md. Earliglow, which was released in 1975, set a new flavor standard for strawberries. The berry is perfect for fresh eating, bite-sized and very sweet. High-yielding and very disease resistant, Earliglow is an excellent choice for beginners and home gardeners. Tribute, released in 1981, produces fruit multiple

times during the growing season. This variety is also easy to grow, yielding large amounts of firm fruit in the spring, summer and fall. But researchers at N.C. State University are not content just to have North Carolina berries for two months of the year. They have been working diligently to find production and agronomic methods to produce the sweet berry for longer periods to boost farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; incomes and please native Tarheelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; palates. Researchers found that use of frost protection methods such as irrigation or row covers, helps produce early berries. Some growers are also producing fruit â&#x20AC;&#x153;off seasonâ&#x20AC;? with high tunnels or greenhouses which has been demonstrated at the NCDA Research Station in Salisbury. These growers can have ripe berries in fall, winter, or very early in the spring. Researchers also are breeding and planting types of berries called â&#x20AC;&#x153;day neutralsâ&#x20AC;? that can bear fruit throughout the summer. Pick your own or get them at your local market for about the next five weeks if the weather stays bright and sunny. Each year, the North Carolina Strawberry Association holds a strawberry recipe contest at the NC Agricultural Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Raleigh Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market. The winner receives $100. In 2009 the winner was Kathy Crank of Raleigh.

Here is her winning recipe:

Kathyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Strawberry Delight For the crust: 1 1/2 cup self rising flour 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans 3/4 cup brown sugar 1 stick plus 2 tablespoon melted butter For the filling: 1 8-ounce block cream cheese 12-ounce Cool Whip whipped topping 1 cup confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar For the topping: 1 small box strawberry gelatin 1 cup sugar 4 tablespoon cornstarch 2 cups boiling water 4 cups sliced strawberries Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

ear Abby: I am a plus-sized woman who finds it difficult to squeeze into a tiny restroom stall. I frequently use the stall for people with disabilities because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s larger. A few years ago, when I was traveling with my mother, we made a pit stop and, as usual, I headed for the large stall. Mom was horrified. She said the large stalls should be treated the same as parking places for people with disabilities and used only by those who are disabled. I told her I disagreed, thinking that a few moments in the potty is different from a few hours in a parking space. Was my mother right? Her voice still rings in my ears every time I step into the larger stall. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d appreciate your input.

Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll silence my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jennifer in Maine

Dear Jennifer: Because Dear you have Abby difficulty â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; fitting into a regular stall, I see nothing wrong with using the larger one. If a woman in a wheelchair entered the bathroom at the same time as you, then good manners would dictate that you defer to her because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be unable to use a smaller one. However, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason for the stall to be kept empty at all times, so stop being so hard on yourself.

t is the time of year again for that wonderful, sweet red berry that is delicious in cereals, yogurts, pies, shortcakes and mixed in ice cream. These are just a few ways that North Carolinians eat locally grown strawberries. April is the month that the three climactic zones of North Carolina start producing berries. The first crops begin to be harvested in early April on the Coastal Plain farms followed in late April by the Triad and mid May signals Western Mountain harvests. But actually, due to worldwide refrigerated shipping, strawberries are available just about any month of the year from Central America, South America and Mexico. But we can all testify that these foreign berries are not as sweet and juicy as locally grown berries in the months of April and May. May is considered the main season and is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Strawberry Monthâ&#x20AC;? in North Carolina. In North Carolina almost all the strawberries produced are sold direct to consumers as pick-yourown, at farm stands, or to local supermarket chains for fresh eating, according to the North Carolina Strawberry Association. The top two producing states â&#x20AC;&#x201C; California and Florida â&#x20AC;&#x201C; primarily grow for shipping. Oregon, which leads North Carolina in total production but not in value of the crop, grows primarily for processing. Everyone has

Today’s declarer had the same proclivity as players who draw trumps first and worry about it later. But ... Small habits, well pursued betimes may reach the dignity of crimes. At six diamonds, South ruffed the second spade and took the ace of trumps. When both defenders followed, South drew the missing trump and cashed the A-K of clubs. He was ready to claim the rest, but when East discarded on the second club, South could claim down one. He could ruff only two of his low clubs in dummy, and West got a club at the end.

BAD BREAK South’s play was a crime. South should have been concerned about a bad break in at least one minor suit; East-West had done a lot of bidding despite the vulnerability. But in any case, South loses nothing by taking only one high trump before he tests the clubs. As it happens, East has a singleton in trumps as well as in clubs. When East discards on the second high club, South can take the ace of hearts and crossruff for 12 tricks.

Pitcher lifts weights to increase throwing speed

ear Dr. Donohue: I am 16 and play three sports: baseball, basketball and football. Right now, it’s baseball, and I am a pitcher. I’d like to increase my throwing speed, so I have taken up weightlifting. I’ve gotten two different opinions on this. One tells me that I will get muscle-bound and tight, and that I won’t be able to throw like I can now. The other encourages me to train with weights. Which is right? I also think I am at a disadvantage because of my height. I am 5 feet 9 inches. Wouldn’t being taller give me more throwing power? – R.K.

BLONDIE

B.C.

Let’s deal with the muscle-bound idea first. When people use that word, they’re indicating someone with large, bulky muscles. The thought is that such muscles hinder fluid movement; that’s not the case. Bodybuilders with huge muscles move with swiftness, grace and power. Not many people subscribe to the musclebound theory anymore. Go ahead and lift weights. Don’t focus exclusively on your arm and shoulder. You want balanced muscle development. Much of the power imparted to a thrown baseball comes from leg, hip and trunk muscles. The twisting of the legs, hips and trunk is crucial to the speed of a pitch. Plyometric exercises are recommended for

increasing throwing speed. Plyometrics indicate an exercise in which a rapid musHEALTH cle stretch is followed Dr. Paul by muscle Donohue shorten■■■ ing. This happens in the same sequence of motion. Overhead throwing of a 6-pound medicine ball is an example. Right and left hands, arms and shoulders are involved in the throw. If you’re actively in season, practice and play now, but go easy on exercises. Save this program until the season is over. You’re going to put too much stress on your throwing arm. Your height isn’t a disadvantage. Let me give you the example of two major-league pitchers who throw the ball at a speed of more than 90 miles an hour. They are Randy Johnson and Tim Lincecum. Johnson is 6 feet 10 inches; Lincecum is 5 feet 11 inches. They derive their power for fast pitching by the rotation they make in their deliveries. Dear Dr. Donohue: This past spring I took up running. I am getting a peculiar, prickly sensation on the bottom of my left foot. I asked my doctor what he thought it might be, and he said tarsal tunnel syndrome. He told me to buy shoes

with better padding. Would you expand upon this for me? – M.S. Tarsal tunnel syndrome is the foot’s equivalent of the hand’s carpal tunnel syndrome. A foot nerve passes through a tunnel of bones and ligaments at the ankle. If the tunnel narrows, it presses on the nerve to cause the sensations similar to what you have. Narrowing can come from inflammation of the tunnel due to overuse. The sensation is felt on the big toe’s side of the sole. If two weeks of rest don’t rid you of the pain, visit the doctor again. Dear Dr. Donohue: For a number of years, I have played vigorous tennis three times a week. This year, I’ve been coming down with a headache centered on my left eye. I saw an eye doctor, who found nothing wrong. My family doctor thinks it’s due to exertion when playing tennis. What do you think? – R.A. Exertion is a reasonable explanation for the headache. Such headaches are called benign exertional headaches. They last for a few minutes to a number of hours. Dehydration, a dip in blood sugar or both can have a hand in causing them Drink 12 ounces of a sports drink an hour before playing, and keep on drinking water when you play. If the headaches don’t go away, you’ll have to consult a neurologist.

HPU hears call of Bahamas

WHO’S NEWS

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Palm trees and tropical breezes are in the cards for the High Point University men’s basketball team this summer. Taking advantage of an NCAA rule change passed Thursday that allows freshmen to play in a team’s summer games outside the U.S. beginning Aug. 1 and wanting to have seven newcomers mix as much as possible with six returning scholarship players before preseason practice begins Oct. 15, coach Scott Cherry is in the process of lining up games for the Panthers in the Bahamas in early August. “Everything is not final yet, but we are working on that so we can get these guys together and around each other as quickly as possible,” Cherry said. Dates for the trip are being worked out. Cherry indicated that HPU will play at least two and possibly three games. School spokesman Jon Litchfield said the game scheduling probably won’t be finalized until close to the time of the trip. A school can play outside the U.S. during the summer once every four years. A team playing foreign summer games is allowed an accompanying 10 days of practice. The practice sessions for HPU can also begin Aug. 1. While the games are important, Cherry said the days of practice and the extra camaraderie are just as crucial considering the influx of new players: six freshmen and one college transfer. “When you have an incoming class this size, it is more important for us to develop a closeness or bond,” Cherry said. “To start Aug. 1 and practice for six or seven days so these guys can start to play with each other and understand each other and then get in game situations against other competition that early is certainly going to help. “But also, to be together in a situation where it is not class or a required study hall and it is much more relaxed – whether it’s down by the pool or on a tour – will help these guys be much more comfortable with each other. In the fall, the adjustment period will still be there, but we’re hoping it will be a lot quicker.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

DON DAVIS JR | HPE

Trinity softball players (from left) Tori Butler, Scout Albertson and Brittany Donathan are ready to play at the next level.

Trio triumphs for Trinity T

hey’ve been the glue that helped hold together the Trinity softball program the past four years. Their lessons must have stuck, because the Bulldogs continue to play well down the stretch even as the adverse situations mount. “They’ve been great SPORTS leaders all year,” coach David House Steve said. “They know the Hanf game so well. Those ■■■ three are any coach’s dream. They lead by example on and off the field.” Scout Albertson, Tori Butler and Brittany Donathan have played well enough on the field to earn spots on college softball teams next year. On the field, Donathan suffered a severe sprain of her left ankle when sliding into third base last week. Her season could be over. “Pretty sad,” she said before a recent game, her crutches leaning against the dugout fence. “I’m not too happy about it.” Off the field, Butler got in a car accident two weeks ago after a game and quite possibly could have lost more than just a season, House said. Butler didn’t miss any games, but admitted she’s not playing at full speed thanks to a sore back. “We’ve had some obstacles lately,” said Albertson, who has avoided the injury bug so far – knock on wood! “This has definitely been the toughest year out of all four.”

House, much more accustomed to coaching baseball, took over the program this spring as the Bulldogs’ third leader in as many years. Adding to the degree of difficulty was the formation of Wheatmore High School, which eased crowding at Trinity by taking half the student body – and a number of top-notch athletes. While the Bulldogs kept all the seniors, including the three collegebound players, the rest of the roster filled up with young, unproven talent. “It’s been pretty interesting to see how a bunch of people have improved over the year,” Donathan said. “We had very few people come up who really knew the sport, but it all worked out.” Trinity couldn’t have done it without the top trio. Albertson, an infielder, will attend N.C. State next year. She’s been given a roster spot with the expectation that scholarship money will open up the final three seasons of her college career. Donathan, a pitcher and outfielder, was recruited to NCAA Division III Guilford College as a pitcher – and teammate Ashley Stacy may join the Quakers as well, which would give Trinity four college players. Butler, also a pitcher and outfielder, landed at Montreat College just outside of Asheville. Of all the Bulldogs planning to continue their athletic careers, Butler certainly got the sweetest deal: The tiny private school competes in the NAIA ranks and offers scholarships. Between athletic and academic

money, Butler ended up with a full ride. “That helps!” she said, adding that many of her other offers came from non-scholarship schools such as Guilford, Greensboro and Peace. Butler plans to major in elementary education and already is smitten by the third-graders she works with at Trindale Elementary. Montreat also made an impressive first impression. “I loved it as soon as I got there. Everybody is so friendly there,” Butler explained. “The school, the coaches, the people, the atmosphere – it’s so pretty on the mountain!” Donathan liked Guilford because of coach Dennis Shores’ interest in her. The Quakers also have played well in recent years, and Donathan also enjoyed the campus atmosphere. “I thought the school fit me well,” she said. She’ll be set for plenty of schooling the next decade on a planned pre-pharmacy track. The same goes for Albertson, who will open in State’s Life Sciences program, find a major she likes in a year or two and begin working toward a master’s degree in the medical field. All the while continuing to play softball. “It’s good to see some of us get to play at the next level,” Albertson said. Perhaps the next four years will be just as successful – minus the bumps in the road. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Tiger balloons to 79, misses cut CHARLOTTE (AP) — So much for Tiger Woods wanting the attention to return to his golf. In a shocking meltdown Friday at the Quail Hollow Championship, Woods matched the worst nine-hole score of his PGA Tour career

and wound up with a 7over 79 to miss a cut for only the sixth time in his 14-year career. He had three-putt bogeys on consecutive holes. He hit a flop shot that ran over the green and into the water. And he bottomed out

on the 15th green with a four-putt double bogey from just over 30 feet. “It is what it is,” Woods said when asked if rust or mechancis were the culprit. “Whatever it was, it wasn’t good enough.” The 79 was his secondworst score as a pro be-

hind an 81 that Woods shot in the third round of the 2002 British Open. Billy Mayfair was the leader through 36 holes. At 8-under 136, he had a one-shot lead over Angel Cabrera, who played in Woods’ group.

here’s something comforting about a sporting event held every year since 1875. We live in a topsy-turvy world. Change is just about the only constant. And even though I haven’t ridden a horse in more than 20 years and my only real connection to the sport of kings is that sometimes I can be a royal pain in the backside, I love the Kentucky Derby. The first Saturday in May at Churchill Downs is pure Americana. The ladies in their showy hats. The mint juleps. The smell of, well, you get the idea. It’s an amazing day. But the clever, colorful names of the horses take the roses.

There are so many great winning names, but here are my top 10: 10. Day Star in 1878. The name fits a winner, and the jockey was Jimmy Carter. You’d be nuts not to like that combo. 9. Strike The Gold in 1991. Sorry Lone Ranger. Nobody wants Silver in the Kentucky Derby. 8. Count Turf in 1951. Lucky bettors counted their winnings. 7. Genuine Risk in 1980. It’s always a gamble, so what a perfect champion. 6. His Eminence in 1901. Jimmy Winkfield rode this horse to prominence, so His Eminence gets the nod. 5. Jet Pilot in 1947. Any horse so named at

the dawn of the jet era merits high marks. 4. Forward Pass in 1968. It’s what thoroughbreds do, after all. 3. Dust Commander in 1970. What a sweeping Run To The Roses! 2. Twenty Grand in 1931. The smart money was on this horse from the start. And my favorite Kentucky Derby-winning horse of all time... 1. Fonso in 1880. Some 90 years before “Happy Days,” this horse told the rest of the field to sit on it. Thumbs-up, Fonso! Thanks for bearing with my horsing around. Enjoy the Derby, everyone!

Clausen takes humble approach on first day of minicamp CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fitting the No. 7 Jimmy Clausen wore in college was already taken in Carolina. Now if the former Notre Dame quarterback ever forgets his stunning fall after being considered a sure high pick in the NFL draft, all he has to do is glance at the number on his Panthers jersey for a reminder of the round he was finally taken: 2. Ready to prove his doubters wrong and possibly contend for a starting job as a rookie, Clausen suited up with the Panthers for the first time on Friday for the opening of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandatory three-day minicamp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the back of my head,â&#x20AC;?

shock of seeing the speed and increased talent in the NFL. Perhaps coach John Fox, famous for speaking but saying nothing, had a chat with him. Either way, Clausen was saying â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and doing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all the right things. He arrived on Thursday from California with a 12-pack of Cactus Cooler, receiver Steve Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite orangepineapple soda.

SPORTS 4C www.hpe.com SATURDAY, MAY 1, 2010 THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE

Rain, wild finish in forecast at Churchill Downs LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The favorite was pulled at the start of the week. Heavy thunderstorms in the forecast could turn the dirt strip at Churchill Downs into something resembling peanut butter. A year after Mine That Bird won at 50-1 odds by hugging the rail in the slop, the Kentucky Derby is setting up for another wild finish Saturday. A full field of1 20 3-year-olds is poised to run 1 ⁄4 miles for a $1.4 million prize. Lookin At Lucky is the 3-1 morning-line choice, with Hall

of Fame trainer Bob Baffert seeking his fourth victory. He inherited the role of favorite after trainer Todd Pletcher withdrew Eskendereya because of a swollen leg. Eskendereya was touted as the latest super horse after winning his1last two starts by a combined 18 ⁄4 lengths. “You got to be prepared for disappointment,” said Baffert, whose front-running Pioneerof the Nile was overtaken in the stretch last year by Mine That Bird. “Especially in this race because you never know what’s going to happen.”

Pletcher, who is 0 for 24 in the Derby, will still saddle four horses but none is as highly regarded. The second choice is Sidney’s Candy at 5-1, followed by three others at 10-1 — Awesome Act, Ice Box and Pletcher’s Devil May Care. Devil May Care is trying to become the fourth filly to win America’s most famous race. She was entered after regular rider John Velazquez became available when Eskendereya withdrew. The forecast calls for highs in

the mid-70s and a 100 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms that could produce 1 inch of rain in the morning. Then there could be showers totaling a quarter of an inch through post time of 6:28 p.m. EDT. The wettest Derby day was May 11, 1918, when 2.31 inches of rain fell, according to National Weather Service records. Depending on how gloomy it gets, the 136th Derby could be the first run under the lights that were installed last winter. Churchill Downs says it has the

option of flipping the switch to brighten things up. Most of the field has no experience racing in the muck, including Lookin At Lucky, who has run only once on dirt but won. The colt, along with Sidney’s Candy, Conveyance and American Lion are from California, where they run on synthetic surfaces. “A lot of those horses are going to have mud splashed in their face,” Baffert said. “It hits their belly and face. They throw their head up, they lose interest and they get scared.”

Kyle Busch charges, wins Richmond pole RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Kyle Busch won the pole for Saturday night’s NASCAR race at Richmond International Raceway with a fast lap at 127.077 mph. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver turned the lap as the 19th of 47 cars attempting to qualify, easily beating David Reutimann (126.618) for the top spot. The pole, just the sixth Busch has earned in 196 starts in NASCAR’s premier series, gave him his choice of pit stalls as he defends his victory in this race a year ago. “It’s nice to sit on the pole every once in a while,” Busch said of his first pole position since March 2009 in Las Vegas. “I only get the opportunity maybe once a year.” Busch, who swept both races here a year ago, also won the pole for Friday night’s Nationwide Series race on the 0.75mile oval, giving him a

good start to the weekend. Seeking his first Sprint Cup Series vicBusch tory since last August at Bristol, he said he feels as if he’s getting closer all the time to ending a 21-race winless streak. Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon, who said the air has been cleared in their well-publicized feud of the past two weeks, will start in the second row, followed by Ryan Newman, Brad Keselowski, Kevin Harvick and Jamie McMurray. Reutimann’s solid run came after a shaky start to the day. “It is two opposite ends of the spectrum from where we were when we unloaded to where we are now,” he said.

Knaus, Gustafson sign extensions RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Hendrick Motorsports locked crew chiefs Chad Knaus and Alan Gustafson into long-term contract extensions Friday that keep two of the sport’s top innovators at NASCAR’s top organization. Meanwhile, crew chief Steve Letarte said he’s in discussion with team owner Rick Hendrick to extend his contract, too. Letarte, in the final year of his current deal, said he wants to return as Jeff Gordon’s crew chief. “I’ve spoken with Mr. Hendrick, and he’s told me his intentions, and he wants me to crew

chief here and I want to crew chief here,” Letarte said before qualifying at Richmond International Raceway. “His word is good enough for me, paperwork is just paperwork. There’s nowhere else I’d rather be.” Their futures at HMS may be intact, but it’s not exactly clear what the team’s lineup will look like. Knaus, who has led Jimmie Johnson to the last four NASCAR championships, said “it’s very well known that I’m going to be with the No. 48 car.” But Gustafson, currently the crew chief for Mark Martin, dodged what his role will be.

Briscoe curbs Power in IRL KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — A shift to the ovals meant a shift in power in the IndyCar Series. One of the last drivers of the day, Australian Ryan Briscoe was the fastest qualifier at Kansas Speedway on Friday, ending Will Power’s bid for a record-tying fourth consecutive pole.

Briscoe had a four-lap average of 212.145 mph and will start on the front row Saturday with defending champion Scott Dixon in the 300mile race on the 11⁄2-mile oval. Dan Wheldon and defending series champion Dario Franchitti will start on the second row.

Favre still hurting

Phil Mickelson hits from a sand trap on the 14th hole during the second round of the Quail Hollow Championship on Friday.

Mickelson gets healthier CHARLOTTE (AP) — Masters champion Phil Mickelson is nearly over his stomach ailment — perhaps just in time to win his second straight tournament. Long before Tiger Woods’ Friday afternoon meltdown left him with only his sixth missed cut in his professional career, Mickelson put together a bogey-free 4-under 68 that left him two shots behind leader Billy Mayfair at the halfway point of the Quail Hollow Championship. Not bad for somebody who was so ill vomiting two days earlier that he had had to withdraw from the pro-am in his first event since Augusta. “One more day of rest after we get done here, and I should be 100 percent for the weekend,” Mickelson said. After acknowledging he tired Thursday when he finished with consecutive bogeys, Lefty got off to a quick start early Friday on the difficult back nine. He hit a 5-iron to 8 feet for an eagle at the par-5

15th, then birdied the waterprotected 17th. “It’s a bonus because Mayfair I’m not trying to make 2 on 17. It’s one of those holes like 17 at TPC Sawgrass,” Mickelson said. “You just want a 3 and move on. Today the tee was up, not too much wind, the green was soft, and I ended up hitting a good shot that slightly pushed by the hole. I ended up having a 3-footer for birdie.” Mickelson finished his round with 10 consecutive pars, but it leaves him in good shape in an event where he hasn’t won, but has four top-10 finishes. “This is a wonderful, fun golf course to play,” Mickelson said. “The way the course is set up right now is perfect, so I hope that it doesn’t vary too much.”

in 1998 and finished a career-worst 157th on the money list last year. He had to scramble just to make it in time for the Monday qualifier for Quail Hollow. And after two rounds he’s alone in the lead. Mayfair followed his 65 on Monday that put him in the field with consecutive 68s that left him at 8under and one shot ahead of Angel Cabrera. “A lot of guys will say when they had to Monday qualify a long time ago before this was an all-exempt tour, some of the best weeks they had was when they did Monday qualify,” Mayfair said. “They were hot coming in and they just kind of kept rolling the wave. That’s what I’m going to try to do.” The 43-year-old Mayfair’s eventful stretch began when he missed his flight to Charlotte on Sunday night after finishing 43rd in New Orleans. His wife, Tami, booked them on a 6 a.m. flight Monday that required a 3 a.m. MONDAY MAYFAIR Billy Mayfair last won wakeup call.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Brett Favre is still stinging from that painful loss to the New Orleans Saints in the NFC title game three months ago — so much so that it’s a factor in his decision to come back to the Vikings next season. Favre issued a statement on his website Friday saying that his left ankle is still hurting and will require surgery if he wants to return for Minnesota. But he said the injury “is not debilitating” and he’s come through far worse in a 19-year career built on playing through pain. “I don’t believe major surgery on the ankle would be required for me to return in 2010,” Favre wrote. “I’ve consulted with Dr. (James) Andrews on the phone, and a relatively minor procedure could be done to improve the dexterity of the ankle, and to relieve the pain. I’ve put up with pain worse than this in my career, and I didn’t want anyone to assume that the possibility of surgery was the sole factor that would determine whether I return or not.”

Clemson drops swimming program CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Clemson has decided to end its men’s and women’s swimming programs as well as its men’s diving program. The university announced Friday that the programs will be phased out over two years, ending in the spring of 2012. Women’s diving will continue. Athletic director Terry Don Phillips says the school’s decision not to build an Olympic-size pool would have put the sports at a disadvantage. Phillips says Clemson will let any swimmers and divers transfer and will honor the scholarships of any athletes who want to stay after the sports end.

NCAA limits recruiting visits to two coaches MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The en-masse spring recruiting trips by Auburn and other schools have come to an end. The NCAA passed a rule Thursday allowing a university to send only two coaches to a high school on the same day during an evaluation period, when assistants are allowed one

visit to assess a prospect’s athletic ability and a second to evaluate academics. NCAA spokeswoman Stacey Osburn said Friday it is effective immediately and originated with the Big East Conference. Groups of Auburn assistants have done the so-called “Tiger Prowl” to state and area high

schools in limousines the past two springs. Auburn has also used a bus for fan events during the jaunts this spring, though not for campus visits. The NCAA didn’t mention Auburn directly but notes multiple coaches often visit schools “in limousines and extravagant buses” and that the visits

are as much to make a splash as to evaluate prospects. “Many institutions are unnecessarily expending resources in order to have multiple assistant coaches attend these evaluations as a result of the perceived recruiting benefit,” the NCAA said. “By permitting only two foot-

ball coaches per institution to visit a prospective student-athlete’s school on any given evaluation day, it would preclude institutions from sending a large number of assistant coaches to a school just for perception purposes.” The attention-getting technique apparently helped last season; the Ti-

gers pulled in one of the nation’s top recruiting classes. On Thursday morning, before the ruling was issued, Auburn coach Gene Chizik made a point to separate “Tiger Prowl” from the recruiting visits, saying that refers to the fan events not the trips to high schools.

Goldman shares plunge as criminal probe starts WASHINGTON (AP) – Shares of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. plunged 9 percent Friday after word that the Justice Department had opened a criminal investigation of the Wall Street powerhouse over mortgage securities deals it arranged. The criminal inquiry follows civil fraud charges filed by the government against Goldman two weeks ago and as Congress pushes toward enacting sweeping legislation aimed at preventing another near-meltdown of the financial system.

Honda recalls 167,000 Acuras WASHINGTON – Honda Motor Co. is recalling about 167,000 Acura TSX cars to fix power steering hoses that could deteriorate and cause a fire under the hood. The recall, announced Friday, involves TSXs from the 2004-2008 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on its website that high temperatures under the hood could cause the power steering hose to crack and leak power steering oil.

Fannie Mae tightens lending standards WASHINGTON – Battered by a tidal wave of loan defaults, mortgage finance company Fannie Mae is tightening standards for the adjustablerate and interest-only loans that fed the housing boom and contributed to the bust. The company says it will require mortgage lenders to consider how high a borrower’s mortgage payments might rise after teaser rates expires. Fannie Mae also says it will enact tighter standards for “interest only” loans that allow borrowers to avoid making principal payments for several years.

Madoff sons, brother may face charges NEW YORK – Federal authorities will charge at least two employees from disgraced financier Bernard Madoff’s former firm in the coming weeks, and Madoff’s brother and two sons could be next, two people familiar with the investigation told The Associated Press. Madoff’s brother, Peter, and sons Andrew and Mark, executives in the firm’s legitimate business, are likely to face tax fraud charges later this year, but may escape more serious securities fraud charges. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

DILBERT

the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan stems from a criminal referral by the Securities and Exchange Commission, a knowledgeable person said Thursday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the inquiry is in a preliminary phase. The SEC brought civil fraud charges against Goldman and a trader in connection with the transactions in 2006 and 2007. The agency alleged the firm misled investors by failing to tell them the subprime mortgage securities had been chosen with help from a Goldman hedge fund cli-

ent, Paulson & Co., that was betting the investments would fail. Goldman and the trader, Fabrice Tourre, have denied wrongdoing and said they will contest the allegations in court. Word of the Justice Department action came two days after Goldman executives were grilled and publicly rebuked by senators at a politically charged hearing. And it arrived a day after a group of 62 House lawmakers, including Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, D-Mich., asked Attorney General Eric Holder to order a criminal probe of Goldman.

Profits raise auto parts makers from the brink DETROIT (AP) – Companies that crank out gears, hoses, gauges and other parts for U.S. automakers are making a comeback. Many are profitable again, and some are cautiously hiring after months of layoffs. They’ve also accomplished something that two of their biggest customers, General Motors and Chrysler, haven’t: They’ve repaid everything they borrowed from the government. In the past two weeks, large suppliers such as Gentex Corp., BorgWarner Inc., and Federal-Mogul Corp., have reported millions in profits for the first quarter, reversing huge loses from early last year when the auto industry

nearly collapsed. The revival is driven by rising auto sales and the suppliers’ own painful cuts during the recession. Thecompaniesareamong more than 2,000 in the U.S. that make just about all the 10,000 parts in a single car or truck, components that are bolted into vehicles by the Detroit Three or Asian and European automakers. You name it and the suppliers make it – transmissions, belts, speedometers, wires – even plastic bags that keep seats clean in the factory. Together they employ more than 420,000 people and form links in a complex supply chain that turns sheet metal and plastic into Chevys and Corollas.

Consumer spending still lacks vigor WASHINGTON (AP) – Consumers spent more and helped lift the economy last quarter but not enough to ignite the recovery and drive down unemployment. Spending by consumers rose by the fastest pace in three years, the Commerce Department said Friday . That helped the economy grow at a 3.2 percent pace in the January-to-March quarter. It marked the third straight quarterly gain as the United States heals from the longest and deepest recession since the 1930s. Still, growth was weaker than in the fourth quarter of last year, when the economy grew at 5.6

percent. The first-quarter’s performance would normally be considered respectable in normal times. Yet coming out of the severe recession, more robust growth is needed to drive down high joblessness, stimulate wage increases and lift consumer spending. Economic growth would have to equal 5 percent for all of 2010 just to lower the average jobless rate for the year by 1 percentage point. In a Rose Garden statement, President Barack Obama said more jobs are still needed, but he called the quarterly report “an important milepost on the road to recovery.”

Stocks fall on GDP, spending reports NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks finished April with a big loss as investors showed their disappointment with two economic reports and worries about a criminal investigation of Goldman Sachs. Investors lost some of their optimism about the economy Friday after the government’s weakerthan-expected gross domestic product report and news of a drop in consumer sentiment. Reports that the government has started a criminal investigation of Goldman sent financial stocks tumbling. Investors feared that possible charges against the company could have a chilling effect on the banking industry. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 158 points, and all the major indexes fell more than 1 percent. The Dow posted its third straight monthly gain with a 1.4 percent advance for April. However it snapped an eight-week winning streak. The market racheted higher and lower this week on alternating spurts of optimism and pessimism about the economy. The Dow had three triple-digit moves. But analysts have been expecting a pullback after months of gains. “The market may just be a little bit tired,” said Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist at RDM Financial Group in Westport, Conn. “A lot of good news is priced into the market.”

Fed to allow banks Oil prices settle to set up CDs WASHINGTON (AP) – The Federal Reserve adopted a plan on Friday allowing banks to set up the equivalent of certificates of deposit at the central bank. The move will help the Fed mop up money pumped out during the financial crisis and prevent inflation from taking off. Under the plan, the Fed will offer so-called “term deposits” that will pay interest. Doing so will provide banks with another incentive to park their money at the Fed, rather than having it flow back into the economy. Once the economy is on firm footing, the term deposits program will be one of the Fed’s tools for tightening credit. The Fed said the announcement has “no impli-

cation for the near-term conduct of monetary policy.” The Fed said details about the program would be provided later. The Fed has proposed that the interest rates paid on the term deposits be set through an auction mechanism. Banks wanting to hold a term deposit would bid in regularly scheduled, competitive auctions, where the lowest rate would prevail. The Fed said it anticipates that the maturities of the term deposits will be six months or less. In coming months, the Fed hopes to conduct “small-value offerings” of term deposits to make sure operations go smoothly and to give banks an opportunity to get familiar with the program.

Avon profit drops with currency hit NEW YORK (AP) – A currency devaluation in Venezuela, costs related to a bribery investigation in China and restructuring charges drove Avon Products Inc.’s profit down 64 percent in the first quarter. But consumers in many international markets spent more on Avon’s cosmetics and other products, and its revenue climbed 15 percent, the company said Friday. Avon, whose force of thousands of independent sellers ballooned during the recession as unem-

ployed workers sought new income, increased its marketing spending during the quarter and continued to recruit sellers to promote its low-price products, some of which sell for less than $5. Its outside sales force grew 6 percent, and it spent 23 percent more than a year earlier marketing its brands, which include Skin-So-Soft and Mark, as well as Avon. Avon’s revenue fell 2 percent in North America, and units sold were flat.

above $86

NEW YORK (AP) – Oil prices climbed above $86 Friday as the government reported the economy expanded in the first quarter and on growing concern that an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico will affect supply. Oil rose 98 cents to settle at $86.15 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Crude has moved between $81 and $87 this month as traders weighed the improving global economy against stubbornly high U.S. oil inventories. The disadvantage for the energy sector Friday continued to be the huge oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. About 5,000 barrels of oil per day are leaking from the seabed where the drill ship exploded and sank. JP Morgan analysts wrote in a note to investors that the spill raises worries about supply. It appeared that the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, or LOOP, a key facility for offloading tankers delivering U.S. oil imports, would not be affected, according to analyst Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix. “Ultimately, if there are any disruptions to crude oil imports, the Strategic Petroleum Reserves will be released,” Jakob said. The SPR totaled 726 million barrels in December, according to the Department of Energy.

Supporters of driving without cell phones hold placards during a rally in Detroit, Friday. Oprah Winfrey wants America’s drivers to declare their cars “No Phone Zones.”

Oprah: Drivers, put down your cell phones WASHINGTON (AP) – Oprah Winfrey wants America’s drivers to declare their cars “No Phone Zones.” “It’s like Russian roulette every time you pick up your phone in the car,” Winfrey told her viewers from Chicago on Friday. She dedicated her TV show to urging people to sign pledges not to chat or text from behind the wheel. Safety advocates hope Winfrey’s star power will bring attention to the growing scourge of distracted drivers, who are blamed for an estimated 6,000 deaths and a half-

million injuries a year. The advocates hope to mimic the success of safety campaigns in the 1980s that helped reduce drunken driving deaths and increased the use of seat belts. “We need to really break people’s bad habits,” Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said at a Washington rally against distracted driving. “Everybody has a bad habit of thinking they can talk on their phone or text and drive, and you can’t do it safely.” Twenty-four states and the District of Columbia prohibit drivers from

texting behind the wheel; six states bar drivers from using hand-held cell phones. Congress is considering legislation to push all states to ban texting by drivers, and the federal government is encouraging all states to restrict cell phone use behind the wheel. Since Winfrey launched her campaign in January, more than 200,000 people have taken the pledge. They can choose one of three promises for their driving: no texting; no texting and only handsfree calling; or no texting or calls.

FBI interviews Massey mine employees WASHINGTON (AP) – The FBI has interviewed nearly two dozen current and former employees of Massey Energy Co. in a criminal probe of

Obama saddened by Kentucky mine deaths WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama says mining accidents like the latest one in Kentucky that claimed two lives must be prevented. Obama issued a statement Friday saying he was deeply saddened by the incident where two miners were killed when a roof collapsed in the Dotiki Mine late Wednesday. It happened only weeks after an explosion at a mine in West Virginia killed 29, the nation’s worst coal mine disaster in decades.

In Maine, women blow tops over inequality FARMINGTON, Maine – A forecast of sunny skies in April seems like the perfect time to put the top down. But a drive in a convertible isn’t what some Maine women had in mind Friday. Nearly two dozen of them marched topless through this college town to protest what they call a double standard that allows men to take off their shirts on a hot summer day. Many men joined the women, taking off their shirts and marching side by side.

NY teen indicted on hate crime shooting COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – A grand jury has indicted a 16-year-old boy on hate crime charges in the shooting of a black high school classmate inside an upstate New York police station near baseball’s Hall of Fame. Anthony Pacherille now faces charges of attempted murder and attempted assault as hate crimes. He remains hospitalized with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head and is scheduled for arraignment May 7.

Driver inattention led to trooper’s crash death SIDNEY, N.Y. – New York State Police say driver inattention led to a crash that killed a state trooper, but they can’t explain why she allowed her cruiser to drift into an oncoming tractor-trailer. They say investigators ruled out the possibility Jill Mattice (muh-TYCE’) was texting or talking on her cell phone and didn’t find any evidence that weather, speeding, or a problem with her cruiser contributed to the Jan. 20 wreck. Mattice was headed to the Oneonta barracks when her cruiser crossed the center line at 58 mph.

California loses fight to end prison oversight SAN FRANCISCO – The Schwarzenegger administration lost a legal fight Friday to end oversight of California’s prison health care system. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a federal judge can continue with a court-appointed receiver to improve inmate medical care. The appeals court also dismissed the administration’s request to stop the receiver’s construction plans to add medical beds. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Winds, tides hamper oil fight MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER (AP) – Heavy winds and high tides complicated efforts to hold back oil that threatened to coat birds and other marine life as it oozed ashore from the Gulf of Mexico on Friday. The White House responded to the massive spill by halting any new offshore oil projects until

safeguards are in place to prevent rig explosions like the one that caused it. The National Weather Service predicted winds, high tides and waves through Sunday that could push oil deep into the inlets, ponds and lakes of southeastern Louisiana. Seas of 6 to 7 feet were pushing tides several

feet above normal toward the coast, and the wind was pushing oily water over the booms meant to contain it. Several officials from President Barack Obama’s administration descended on the coast Friday. “I am confident we will get to the bottom of what happened

here,” said Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. “Those responsible will be held accountable.” His department announced it would send teams to the Gulf to inspect all platforms and rigs. More than 200,000 gallons of oil a day are spewing from the blown-out well at the site of the Deepwater Horizon.

Gibbs: Obama may visit Gulf later

Air Force planes to help with spill WASHINGTON (AP) – Two Air Force planes will spray chemicals to help break up the Gulf Coast oil spill, Pentagon officials said Friday as they considered what more the military could do to assist. The two C-130 Hercules cargo planes were staging for their flights at Lake Charles, La., after getting their orders Friday, Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said. The planes were sent from the Youngstown Air Reserve Station in Ohio on Thursday. Defense Secretary Robert Gates also was considering a request from Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal for the fedAP eral government to pay Dr. Erica Miller, with Tri-State Bird Rescue and Research, works to give a dose of for 6,000 National Guard Pepto-Bismol to a Northern Gannet bird, normally white when full grown, which is soldiers and airmen. covered in oil from a massive spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Activists hope Arizona law opposition boosts rallies CHICAGO (AP) – Immigrant rights activists hope Arizona’s controversial immigration law will spark enormous crowds of people to protest in rallies nationwide and add urgency to pleas for federal immigration reform. Dozens of marches are planned today in cities across the country from Los Angeles to Dallas to New York. “What happened in Arizona proves that racism and anti-immigrant hys-

teria across the country still exists. We need to continue to fight,” said Lee Siu Hin, a coordinator with the Washington, D.C.-based National Immigrant Solidarity Network. Activists believe opposition to Arizona’s new law – which requires authorities to question people about immigration status if there’s reason to suspect they’re in the country illegally – could be the catalyst needed to draw record-breaking

Jury convicts on 2 charges in Palin e-mail hacking KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The son of a Democratic Tennessee lawmaker was convicted Friday on two charges in the hacking of Sarah Palin’s e-mail account while she campaigned on the Republican presidential ticket in 2008. The federal court jury reached its verdict against David Kernell, 22, after four days of de-

liberation. He was found guilty of obstruction of justice and unauthorized access to a computer, but was acquitted on a charge of wire fraud. The jury deadlocked on a charge of identify theft. The charge of obstructing an investigation carries a maximum 20-year prison sentence and unauthorized access to a computer is a misdemeanor.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House says President Barack Obama won’t be heading to the Gulf Coast in the next few days. But press secretary Robert Gibbs left open the possibility of a later presidential visit to assess the spreading oil spill. Obama is stepping up his personal involvement as the magnitude of the spill in the Gulf of Mexico grows by the day. On Friday the president announced he’d ordered the interior secretary to see whether any new safety procedures are needed before new offshore drilling leases can go forward. He also sent top Cabinet officials and other advisers to the Gulf to help oversee the response.

crowds similar to those four years ago. That’s when more than a million people across the country united to fight federal legislation considered anti-immigrant. Though the bill, which would have made being an illegal immigrant a felony, was unsuccessful, it triggered massive marches across the nation. Since then, the movement has fractured and attendance has dropped sharply.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win-win for senior tutors, young students BY DAVID CRARY AP NATIONAL WRITER

ALTIMORE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For 73-year-old Rosetta Handy, and the second-graders who dote on her, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 50/50 proposition, with winners all around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They help me as much as I help them,â&#x20AC;? said Handy of her volunteer work as a tutor at Belmont Elementary School in a low-income West Baltimore neighborhood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They give you energy. You learn psychology all over again.â&#x20AC;? Recent research indicates that Handy knows of what she speaks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; documenting significant health benefits for the tutors. Handy, who worked many years for the Social Security Administration, is in her fifth year with the Experience Corps, a program operating in 22 cities nationwide that trains volunteers over 55 to tutor and mentor elementary school students. Roughly 2,000 volunteers currently work with about 20,000 students, but the Experience Corps â&#x20AC;&#x201C; buoyed by positive feedback and encouraging research â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hopes to double its scope within five years. The programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concepts have seemed promising ever since it was founded as a pilot project in 1995, but new academic studies have validated the optimism that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a

Vacationers can earn prizes for sightseeing LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Folks vacationing in Nebraska can win prizes if they see enough of the sights this summer. The state Travel and Tourism Division has come up with the Nebraskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Byways Passport Program. Twenty-seven attractions are listed on a souvenir passport. These locations across the state also are where travelers can pick up the passport and start playing. Tourists receive a stamp at each stop. At the end of the trip, visitors send in a tear-out sheet from the passport. If the passport has nine stamps, travelers get a Nebraska Byways T-shirt; 18 stamps, a digital photo frame; and 27 stamps, a flip video camera.

boon for the volunteers as well as the students. â&#x20AC;˘ A two-year, $2 million study completed in 2009 by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis, involving 881 second- and third-graders in three cities, found that students with Experience Corps tutors made over 60 percent more progress with reading comprehension and sounding out new words than comparable students not in the program. â&#x20AC;˘ Separate studies by Washington University and by Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore found that the tutoring led to measurable improvements for the volunteers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; compared to adults of similar age and demographics â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in physical activity and mental health. One small-scale study reported in the Journal of Gerontology: Medical Sciences last year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which included sophisticated neuroimaging of 17 study members over 60 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including eight Experience Corps volunteers in Baltimore â&#x20AC;&#x201C; suggested that tutoring young children in reading and math could delay or even reverse brain aging. The lead researcher, professor Michelle Carlson of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, is launching a far larger, multiyear study to pursue these preliminary findings.

BMW’s big sedans are executive rides ANN M. JOB THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NUTS & BOLTS

–

Bumper to bumper, the BMW 7-Series cars are as long as sport utility vehicles. They weigh as much as SUVs, too. But despite starting retail prices over $80,000 and dismal gasoline mileage, the big BMW sedans continue to sell. In fact, in the first quarter of this year, 7-Series sales in the United States tripled from the year-earlier period to total nearly 3,000. The 7-Series’ U.S. sales surpassed those of major competitors – the Mercedes S-Class and Lexus LS sedans. Some of the appeal has to do with the serious, sleek BMW look and roomy, leather-swathed interior that remain in fashion with captains of industry who patronize these cars. And even in economically distressed times, some people and companies can afford to fill the tank on a car that’s rated 16 to 17 miles per gallon in combined city/highway driving by the federal government, incurring a federal gas guzzler tax. The rear-wheel drive 750i with 400 horsepower, twin-turbocharged V-8 and automatic transmission has a starting manu-

An all-wheel drive 750i xDrive model starts at $87,175. This is the first time that BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive system has been installed in the 7-Series. The competing 2010 Mercedes-Benz S550 has a starting retail price of $92,475 with rear-wheel

drive and 382-horsepower V-8 and $96,475 for a model with all-wheel drive. The 2010 Lexus LS 460 starts at $66,255 with rear-wheel drive and 380-horsepower V-8. It starts at $69,780 with all-wheel drive. Neither the Mercedes nor the Lexus incurs the federal gas guzzler tax. The hallmark of the BMW 7-Series is a palpable sense of solidity. The doors of the test 750i

xDrive sedan feel heavy. There’s nothing flimsy here, and the doors’ serious way of closing, with an automatic “soft-touch” mechanism that’s part of a $1,700 option package, adds to the vault-like feeling inside. I heard the twin-turbocharged V-8 start as soon as I pressed push-button start, but the sound insulation for the car’s interior made the engine seem

distant – at least until I pressed the accelerator. The power from the 4.4-liter, direct-injection V-8 with BMW’s variable valve timing was awesome. It moved the more than two-ton car briskly in all kinds of traffic and up twisty mountain roads. The forceful “oomph” whenever my foot pressed the accelerator was almost addictive; it was dif-

Rates had dropped to a record low of 4.71 percent in December, pushed down by a campaign by the Federal Reserve to reduce borrowing costs for consumers. The program ended at the end of

March, but the Fed left the door open to reviving the program if the economy weakens. Low rates make mortgages less expensive for homebuyers. Freddie Mac collects mortgage rates on Monday through Wednesday of each week from lenders around the country. Rates often fluctuate significantly, even within a given day, often tracking the interest rate paid on long-term Treasury bonds. This week, the average rate on a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage was 4.39 percent, down from 4.40 percent last week.

Ken Wall is president of the High Point Regional Association of Realtors, one of more than 1800 local boards and associations nationwide that comprise the National Association of Realtors (NAR). The Association is an advocate for property rights and the “Voice of Real Estate” in the Triad area of North Carolina.

Rates on five-year, adjustablerate mortgages averaged 4.03 percent, down from 4.08 percent a week earlier. Rates on oneyear, adjustable-rate mortgages rose to 4.22 percent from 4.13 percent. The rates do not include add-on fees known as points. One point is equal to 1 percent of the total loan amount. The nationwide fee for loans in Freddie Mac’s survey averaged 0.7 of a point for 30-year loans, 0.6 of a point for 15-year and 5-year loans, and 0.5 of a point for 1-year loans.

Report: Home sales in the Hamptons are on the rebound GARDEN CITY, N.Y. (AP) – Wall Street’s elite are once again splurging on multi-million-dollar estates in the Hamptons – Long Island’s summer playground for the ultrarich – where sales have more than doubled over the past year.

In a report released recently, Prudential Douglas Elliman Real Estate found home sales in the Hamptons in the first quarter of this year were up 173 percent over the same quarter in 2009. The agency also found that the median sales price on the 396

homes sold rose almost 35 percent to $908,500 from the same period a year ago. For homes priced in the top 10 percent of the market, the median sales price increased about 34 percent from the same period a year ago to $5.48 million.

“It’s as active in the Hamptons as I have ever seen,” said Alan Schnurman, a high-end real estate developer. “It has to be because of Wall Street. You have these young billionaire hedge fund managers who all want to buy.”

Searching for the right ‘family-friendly’ neighborhood A

s the economy tilts toward recovery, many families with young children are back in the real estate market. Most are searching for a classic suburban house in an enclave studded with child-friendly amenities, such as well-rated schools, hiker-biker trails, soccer fields and a community swimming pool. “Families still hanker for a house they can tailor to their lifestyle,” says Kay West, a real estate agent who’s sold property since 1986. As West says, most families would still prefer to carry a mortgage than to collect a pile of rent receipts, particularly if they can afford a neighborhood where appreciation is probable. Plus, ownership gives them a sense of financial control that comes with a fixed-rate mortgage, rather than the uncertainty of rental rates. “And you don’t have to worry the landlord might sell your place,” says West, a former president of the Council of Residential Specialists, a professional group of agents and brokers (www. crs.net). Is this an advantageous time for young families to purchase real estate? Yes, assuming you have a secure job, says Ashley Richardson, a Coldwell Banker agent who specializes in the sale of suburban properties. As she notes, many families with small

children are first-time buyers who can purchase a property without the complication of selling one they now own. Also, prices have moderated, and most sellers are willing to negotiate in SMART MOVES earnest. If you’re trying to find Ellen the right neighborhood Martin for you and your off■■■ spring, then these pointers could help: • Screen first for school quality. As the global economy becomes more competitive, parents are ever keener on providing their children top-flight schooling. By making school quality the key element in neighborhood selection, you reach two goals: 1) giving your kids a better education; and 2) helping ensure the future salability of your home. How can you judge school quality? Statistics on test scores and high school graduation rates are easily found on the Internet, or your agent can send you these. Richardson also urges you to schedule tours with the neighborhood schools. Besides traditional school programs, also check out related offerings, such as nursery, prekindergarten and after-school programs, which

are valued additions to any neighborhood. • Play newspaper reporter in any community you’re considering. Nowadays, an increasing number of real estate agents encourage their clients to talk to residents before deciding whether an area is right for them. Such informal conversations often yield information you can’t find in any number of marketing materials. You can expect most residents to be candid about the pros and cons of a community. For instance, they’ll tell you about local traffic or safety problems. They’ll also tell you about the ages of children who could become playmates to your own. • Look for a neighborhood with sidewalks. Not everyone views sidewalks as a positive. For instance, empty nesters and childless couples often prefer neighborhoods without them. But Richardson believes sidewalks are a plus for most families because not only do they help keep pedestrians safe, but “they lead to more conversations among neighbors; they create a closerknit community.” • Find out about any homeowners’ association in a neighborhood. Many communities, especially newly constructed ones, have homeowners’ associations with the legal authority

to dictate rules. On the one hand, these organizations can help protect property values (e.g., requiring that lawns be cut and that junk cars get hauled out of driveways). On the other hand, Richardson says, “families don’t like it when an owners’ association says they can’t fence their yard or put up playground equipment.” She suggests you ask your agent to obtain a copy of the association’s rules for your review. (Sometimes these are available on the Internet, along with the minutes of its recent meetings.) • Try to avoid buying into a neighborhood that would give you a long commute. Many working parents are attracted to an outlying suburb where they could obtain a large property for the same price as a smaller place that’s close to a downtown hub or employment center. But there’s one big catch: The commuting time to such a distant suburb can be punishing, especially for working parents who have scarce hours to spend with their children. To determine just how long your commute would be from such an outlying suburb, West encourages wouldbe homebuyers to test drive it before deciding to purchase in that area.

10 red flags that can delay or sink a home sale CAMILLA MCLAUGHLIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Few things induce anxiety and frustration more than having a home sale delayed, especially when your belongings have already been loaded onto the moving truck. Yet few paths from contract to closing are without an obstacle or two. Good real estate agents are attuned to red flags that come up, but consumers should also be aware of potential problems and how to

avoid many bumps in the road. “Purchasing a home is an intensely personal and emotional process,” says Walt Danley a Coldwell Banker agent in Phoenix, Ariz. “It is not uncommon for minor hiccups to become major issues due to the emotional nature of the transaction.” Here are 10 of the most common red flags: 1. The buyer has an existing home to sell. Even if potential buyers have a mortgage preapproval

and claim they can buy without selling their current home, when the deadline nears some of these buyers balk. 2. Underground oil tank or an old septic system. Environmental issues can muck up a deal, especially in states with strict regulations. Underground oil tanks were popular in the Northeast at one time but are now considered a hazard because of potential leaks. 3. The lender is unknown to the real estate agents.

4. Phone calls or e-mails are not returned. Good communication can speed up negotiations. 5. A property disclosure statement was left unsigned. The property disclosure informs buyers about any known problems or defects of the property and explains what sellers have done to repair or resolve them. 6. Out of town appraiser. Appraisers who are unfamiliar with a type of property, price bracket or area are a caution flag for real estate agents.

7. Garages turned into rooms and other additions. Often the necessary permits were not obtained. 8. Inspection opens the door to new price negotiation. 9. A change in the terms of a mortgage. Suddenly payments on a 15-year mortgage seem too high or high fees offset a low interest rate. 10. An unknown lien is uncovered. Old paid-off mortgages that have not been registered are the most typical title issue uncovered.
