GUILFORD COUNTY – While school district officials are divided over the value of school resource officers and the controversy over stun guns, local law enforcement chiefs are not. The schools need the resource officers, and the Taser stun guns they carry are safe when properly used, three agency leaders said Wednesday. “Whether you have the SROs in the
schools is your call,” Sheriff BJ Barnes told the Guilford County Board of Education. “We are more expensive, but you get more and the children are better off.” Barnes Barnes appeared at the invitation of district officials with High Point police Chief Jim Fealy and Greensboro police

ARCHDALE – A study that will guide development along N.C. 62 is on track to be considered by the Archdale City Council next month. Jeff Wells, Archdale’s planning and zoning director, said the High Point Transportation Advisory Committee this week approved a resolution in support of the N.C. 62 Corridor Access Management Plan, which will examine how to take advantage of anticipated development along Archdale’s proposed N.C. 62 corridor near Interstate 85 and the Interstate 74/U.S. 311 Bypass. Wells said it was key to get “regional support” from the High Point TAC, which is a com-

That’s changed in the past year, said Heart of the Triad resident Pat Schreiber. “We appreciate you listening to us now. People are listening to each other respectfully,” Schreiber said at the meeting. The draft land-use plan would split Heart of the Triad property among open space, business and mixed use development and a variety of residential designations, from farmhomes to high-density residences. The land near the northern High Point city limit would be mainly residential. The Strategic Planning Committee doesn’t have the authority to zone property. So its goal by the summer of this year is to

If the study is adopted by the planning board, the City Council will consider it Feb. 23. City officials decided to embark on the study in July because they say the current configuration of N.C. 62 is not expected to handle the anticipated growth in the area. The plan determines a proper design for N.C. 62, as well as connecting streets within the area for the future, according to city officials. “There’s a lot of ‘for sale’ signs out there now, so this indicated

Effort progresses with consensus
GREENSBORO – The rancor that once permeated the debate over the fate of the Heart of the Triad has quieted into a consensus about the future for one of the last large undeveloped areas in the region. The Heart of the Triad Strategic Planning Committee met Wednesday to map out its plans for this year, providing guidance to residents of the area and elected officials with jurisdiction over the 18,000-acre territory on the Guilford-Forsyth County line. The Heart of the Triad, as outlined in a draft land-use plan map, is roughly bordered by U.S. 311, Interstate 40 and Sandy Ridge and Squire Davis roads. Much of the 18,000 acres now are either undeveloped or farmland, but the Heart of the Triad is envisioned as a place for growth in the coming decades. The goal of the Heart of the Triad campaign is to produce high-quality development while preserving the character of the area and protecting private property rights, said Lee Burnette, planning director for the city of High Point. Burnette is one of several advisers to the Strategic Planning Committee, which is made up of elected officials and residents in the area. Several years ago, the Heart of the Triad campaign, launched in 2004, was embroiled in controversy because residents of the area didn’t believe their concerns

that we were under the brink of having a potential development boom out there until the economic downturn,” Wells said. “We found out it was a good time to do a plan out there for the corridor to ensure that in the future we have a proper access and connector street plan to make sure that the corridor and its connector street system operates effectively into the future.” Once the study is approved by the council, Archdale hopes to obtain funding for a feasibility study for the relocation of Weant Road, which intersects with N.C. 62, Wells said, adding the road’s location “is way too close to the interchange at I-85.” “The ramps that are already

signalized there at 62 and I-85, it’s within 300 feet of the interchange,” he said. “We really need to have that located further east for the corridor to function more effectively because right now, you are seeing the most delays on the morning commute when people are going northbound on Weant Road and wanting to turn left on 62, either to get to Interstate 85 or going north to High Point. There are a lot of delays there.” The study, which came at a price tag of about $65,000, is being funded by the N.C. Department of Transportation and the High Point Metropolitan Planning Organization. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Some commissioners say SROs are too expensive FROM PAGE 1
Assistant Chief Gary Hastings. The school board asked them to appear several months ago following a discussion of stun guns and SROs. “It would be a colossal mistake to remove the SROs,” Fealy said. “The High Point high school principals want SROs available. They have kept catastrophic events from happening in our schools.” Several county commissioners say paying $2.9 million for the 39 assigned officers may be too much. The school board is considering replacing SROs with security guards in middle schools. Private security guards have 16 to 40 hours of training while deputy sheriffs and other officers must have hundreds more, Barnes said. “We do have to look at this as a budget matter,” said Amos Quick, school board vice chairman. “We may need additional discussions to get to an agreement,” said Board Chairman Alan Duncan. High Point police officers have yet to fire a stun gun at a student while on campus. “I am concerned about Tasers and that they could be used improperly,” said board member Carlvena Foster of High Point.
Several board members worry stun guns can be lethal. “It’s only a matter of time that an officer is going to use a Taser on a student and that child is going to die,” said at-
‘I have a problem when we assume that a Taser is nonlethal.’ Nancy Routh School board member large board member Sandra Alexander. “I have a problem when we assume that a Taser is non-lethal,” said at-large member Nancy Routh, “especially when we don’t know the medical condition of the suspect.” When properly used, a stun gun can be a “lifesaving” tool, Fealy said, and also reduce injuries among officers and suspects during combative arrests. “A Taser is not as dangerous as a student with a gun or a knife,” said board member Garth Hebert of High Point. “We have an unsafe environment in many schools.” dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Emergency crews work the scene of a crash between a truck and a school bus carrying students Tuesday in Elizabeth City.
At least 11 injured in NC bus-truck collision ELIZABETH CITY (AP) – A school bus and a pickup truck collided at an intersection in northeastern North Carolina, but no serious injuries were immediately reported. Multiple media outlets reported that the accident occurred in Elizabeth City around 3:39 p.m. Tues-
day. The bus contained approximately 40 students from Elizabeth City Middle School and Pasquotank High School. Pasquotank-Camden Emergency Medical Services Director Jerry Newell said 11 students and the bus driver were initially transported to Albemarle Hospital. A
15-year-old student was airlifted to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in Virginia for possible head injuries. The state Highway Patrol said the driver of the truck was a woman who had to be cut out of the vehicle. The patrol said she was airlifted to a hospital.
Federal texting law for commercial drivers carries stiffer penalties MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
RALEIGH – Texting while driving is now a federal offense for anyone behind the wheel of a bus or a big truck. State law already prohibits texting for all drivers in North Carolina, but the new federal texting ban for commercial drivers carries stiffer punishment. Under state law, the penalty for using a phone to read or type e-mail or other text messages is a $100 fine plus $130 in court costs. Under the federal rules announced Tuesday, drivers of buses and big trucks who text with any wireless device
face civil or criminal fines up to $2,750. “We want the drivers of big rigs and buses and those who share the roads with them to be safe,� Ray LaHood, the U.S. transportation secretary, said in Washington. The federal ban was applauded by a spokesman for 220 North Carolina trucking companies. “North Carolina-based drivers are already obeying the state law,� said Rick Cates, safety director for the nonprofit N.C. Trucking Association, based in Raleigh. “Anything that enhances safety on the highways, we’re going to support 100 percent.�
Cates said most truckers use wireless technology that is rigged to prevent text communication while the truck is rolling. When a signal announces an incoming message from a dispatcher, the driver must pull over and set the parking brake to read the message or send a new one. Bill Graves, president of the American Trucking Association, joined LaHood to endorse the new federal rules at a news conference Tuesday. But a spokesman for another trucking group said federal officials were moving too fast. “We support where they are going, but not how they got there,� Todd Spencer,
executive vice president of the 157,000-member OwnerOperator Independent Drivers Association, said in a news release from his office in Missouri. Spencer said his group supports efforts to improve driving safety. But he said LaHood should go through the normal rule-making process to check for possible problems before implementing the federal rules for truckers. LaHood said the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is empowered to implement the ban immediately. It covers vehicles involved in interstate commerce including big trucks, commercial vans and buses.
HIGH POINT – Through a partnership with the Welfare Reform Liaison Project, the United Way of Greater High Point will coordinate distribution of 3,000 hygiene kits to homeless and lowincome people in High Point. Funding is through the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The kits are free, and they contain health and hygiene products. Recipients must be 18 years or older, at 200 percent or less of the federal poverty guideline and residents of Guilford County. Kits are expected to significantly benefit local shelters, which are being inundated with clients due to the extreme cold weather of recent weeks. Clients of Caring Services and other area nonprofits were trained by Welfare Reform Liaison Project to pack 6,000 kits for Guilford County, half of which will be distributed in High Point. These clients are employed to prepare the kits as part of a job-training program
at WRLP — sorting, inspecting and packing 25 or more items into each kit. The skills they learned hopefully will assist them in gaining permanent employment in either the distribution or inventory control fields. Separate kits were developed for males and females. United Way is working with almost two dozen local agencies and churches to implement the new program. The first several hundred kits went to agencies participating in the annual Point in Time homeless count in Guilford County. Another 200 will go to other agencies not related to the Point In Time Count, and distribution will continue through September 2010. To date, 16 nonprofit agencies and churches are scheduled to receive kits, which still are being assembled at the WRLP facility on Dorris Avenue. Recipients include The Salvation Army, Open Door Ministries, Leslie’s House, American Red Cross, I Am NOW and Caring Services.

Al-Qaida group claims hotel blasts in Baghdad BAGDHAD – An al-Qaida front group in Iraq claimed Wednesday it carried out the deadly bombings against Baghdad hotels earlier this week, boasting how its suicide bombers could breach the extensive Iraqi security, and that even deadlier attacks were to come.

Security Council, the officials said.
North Korea fires dozens of artillery rounds SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea fired dozens of artillery shells toward its disputed sea border with South Korea on Wednesday, apparently to emphasize that the peninsula remains a war zone and push for a treaty to formally end the Korean War. South Korea immediately responded Wednesday with 100 warning shots from a marine base nearby after the North fired about 30 artillery rounds into the sea from its western coast in the morning, according to the South’s Defense Ministry and Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Survivors mark Auschwitz anniversary OSWIECIM, Poland (AP) – Bundled tightly against the cold and snow, elderly Auschwitz survivors walked among the barracks and watchtowers of Auschwitz and Birkenau on Wednesday, many clad in scarves bearing the gray and blue stripes of their Nazi prison garments decades ago. Moving later into a heated tent to escape the minus 12 Celsius (10 Fahrenheit) temperatures, they heard Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vow his country would never allow anyone to erase the memory of the victims of Nazi Germany’s death camps. “We sit in a warm tent and remember those who

Obama urges repeal of ban on open gays in military WASHINGTON (AP) – Reaching out to a skeptical gay community, President Barack Obama on Wednesday urged Congress to repeal the ban on gays and lesbians serving openly in the military, but neither made a commitment to suspend the practice in the interim nor issued a deadline. Obama’s reference to the so-called “don’t ask, don’t tell� practice took only 32 words of his State of the Union address, but drew criticism from Democratic allies and Republican opponents alike. It also underscored the challenge Obama faces, not just with Congress but also with some in the Pentagon who support the Clinton-era policy. “This year, I will work with Congress and our military to finally repeal the law that denies gay Americans the right to serve the country they love because of who they are,� Obama said.
State of our Union Obama declares ‘I don’t quit’ in address to the nation WASHINGTON (AP) – Declaring “I don’t quit,’ � an embattled President Barack Obama vowed in his first State of the Union address Wednesday night to make job growth his topmost priority and urged a divided Congress to boost the still-ailing economy with fresh stimulus spending. Defiant despite stinging setbacks, he said he would not abandon ambitious plans for longer-term fixes to health care, energy, education and more. “Change has not come fast enough,� Obama said before a politicianpacked House chamber and a TV audience of millions. “As hard as it may be, as uncomfortable and contentious as the debates may be, it’s time to get serious about fixing the problems that are hampering our growth.� Obama looked to change the conversation from how his presidency is stalling – over the messy health care debate, a limping economy and the missteps that led to Christmas Day’s barely averted terrorist disaster – to how he is seizing the reins. A chief demand was for lawmakers to press forward with his prized health care overhaul, which is in severe danger in Congress, and to resist the temptation to substitute a smaller-bore solution for the far-reaching changes he wants. “Do not walk away from reform,� he implored. “Not now. Not when we are so close.� On national security, Obama proclaimed some success, saying that “far more� al-Qaida terrorists were killed under his watch last year in the U.S.-led global fight than in 2008.
The president devoted about two-thirds of his speech to the economic worries foremost on Americans’ minds, emphasizing his ideas, some new but mostly old and explained anew, for restoring job growth, taming budget deficits and changing a polarized Washington “where every day is Election Day.� These concerns are at the roots of voter emotions that once drove supporters to Obama but now are turning on him as he governs. Declaring that “I know the anxieties� of Americans struggling to pay the bills while big banks get bailouts and bonuses, Obama prodded Congress to enact a second stimulus package “without delay,� specifying that it should contain a range of measures to help small businesses and funding for infrastructure projects. Also, fine-tuning a plan first announced in October, Obama said he will initiate a $30 billion program to provide money to community banks at low rates, provided they agree to increase lending to small businesses. The money would come from balances left in the $700 billion Wall Street rescue fund – a program “about as popular as a root canal� that he made of point of saying “I hated.� Acknowledging frustration at the government’s habit of spending more than it has – and yet placing much blame on Republicans for record deficits, he said he would veto any bills that do not adhere to his demand for a three-year freeze on some domestic spending while proposing a 6.2 percent increase for education.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The nation cannot afford the spending Democrats have enacted or the tax increases they propose, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell said Wednesday in the Republican response to the State of the Union address. McDonnell said Democratic policies are resulting in an unsustainable level of debt. He said Americans want affordable health care, but they don’t want the government to run it. “Top-down, one-size-fitsall decision-making should not replace the personal choices of free people in a free market, nor undermine the proper role of state and local governments in our system of federalism,� McDonnell said. “All Americans agree, we need a health care system that is affordable, accessible, and high quality,� McDonnell said. “But most Americans do not want to turn over the best medical care system in the world to the federal government.� McDonnell delivered the Republican response after President Barack Obama’s speech Wednesday evening. National GOP leaders picked McDonnell after he was elected in a rout last fall in a state Obama and the Democrats swept in 2008. Republicans are feeling emboldened following a string of GOP victories at the polls, including a stunning win by Republican Scott Brown last week in a special Senate election in Massachusetts. Since then, Obama has amped up his populist rhetoric and promised a renewed focus on job creation. Republicans said they want Obama to change more than his rhetoric. They complain that a $787 billion economic stimulus package enacted last year did not do enough.

Obama wants to destroy capitalism in America Daily, our new president, Barack “Hugo Chavez” Obama, moves us closer to the Venezuelan model. Now he proposes crippling banking rules, citing concern for taxpayers, even as he disingenuously blames banks for our economic woes. He knows full well that his own efforts via ACORN, thuggish unions, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, et al, are directly responsible for this crisis. Equally devastating extortion tactics by his corrupt cohorts, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and others, in league with Fannie and Freddie, are to blame as well. They instituted Marxismin-the-marketplace, forcing banks and lenders into issuing loans to constituents who couldn’t or wouldn’t pay for them. As with the NEA, Planned Parenthood, PBS, etc., all designed to benefit liberals, they used financial institutions to buy votes. As someone once said, “When you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can always count on the vote of Paul.” Obama has made it abundantly clear that his ultimate goal is to destroy capitalism, our country’s lifeblood. His hatred of banks and corporations is clear and his continued destructive policies are deliberate. He circumvents Congress, giving his group of czars carte blanche, while the

Devastation in Haiti was not ‘act of God’
YOUR VIEW
---
nation’s taxpayers are shut out entirely, their voices dismissed and disdained. As with his health care agenda, the auto industry takeover and now banks, he seeks to Europeanize America, turning us into the very country our forefathers left! The other party’s “No,” rather than being seen as the wisdom of a parent to whining “gimme” children, is derided. Criticism that we’re the only industrialized nation without universal health care only confirms that that’s precisely one of the reasons why we’re one of the greatest nations on Earth. Sadly, this man is on a determined mission to end that connotation once and for all. God save America! NAN E. PUCKETT Eastover The writer is a former resident of High Point.
High Point employees are valued workers I am writing on behalf of all of us in High Point. I would like to thank, honor and congratulate the many hardworking, incredibly effective, city of High Point employees who work outside, keeping our curbs and streets, pipelines, public spaces and utilities clean, clear, repaired and operational, allowing us to go about our daily lives in safety and comfort. They have continued to provide great care and service during an exceptionally challenging, cold and wet winter. We thank them.
I, for one, certainly do not think that what happened in Haiti was by any means an “act of God!” Just because God did not stop something from happening does not make it an “act of God.” Are winter storms, hurricanes, bad weather, drunk drivers and lunatics also acts of God? Try looking in the mirror one day. You’ll be staring at an “act of God.” You are born with the right to make your own choice through another act of God, His love for you. Our Congress would do well to remember there is a God above as they govern us. Most of them probably say the Lord’s Prayer at least once a week, if not daily. I would have them pay close attention to the ending ... for thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever. We do not live in the kingdom of our Congress. They are not all powerful. We know who is. TIM BOYLES Sophia

Volunteerism should remain voluntary
F
rom the beginning a year and a half ago, Superintendent Mo Green said he wanted character development through service learning, or volunteerism, to be a big part of getting an education in Guilford County’s public schools. He’s certainly on the right track with that view. To that end, Green and Guilford County Schools officials are developing an initiative for service learning that would lead to graduation honors for students. But as these school officials proceed with finalizing the service learning program and the awards that students can earn through it, officials should not entertain the thought of making participation in such a program a requirement for graduation. Some other school systems around the state and across the nation have done just that by requiring that students complete a set number of hours of community service in order to graduate. But compulsory volunteerism is as bad an idea as it is a good idea to have a service learning initiative in the public schools. Surely, we all agree that exposing high school students to the many community service opportunities available today and encouraging them to participate as part of their educational and personal development is a positive approach. But conversely, consider how easily a negative attitude toward volunteerism can be sowed if students are required to volunteer their time in order to graduate. Guilford’s plan for a service learning program includes two tiers, 100 hours or 250 hours, of community service in order to receive an Exemplary Award (100 hours) or an Award of Distinction (250 hours) upon graduation. Under the plan, students could earn volunteer hours through dozens of opportunities for community service. And the guidelines for the program suggest that interested students should begin compiling volunteer service hours during their freshman years. Guilford County Schools officials appear to be heading in a proper direction with the service learning and graduation honors program – as long as they don’t make participation compulsory.

White (and black) men can exceed expectations
D
on Lewis thinks white men can’t jump. What else explains the bizarre statement he issued last week? According to the Chronicle newspaper of Augusta, Ga., Lewis is the commissioner of something called the All-American Basketball Alliance, which hopes to set up shop in 12 cities. “Only players that are natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league,” his statement said. Yes, we’re talking about a whites-only basketball league. But Lewis, you’ll be relieved to hear, is no racist. Shucks no, he says. It’s just that white fans are tired of black players (cover your eyes, Kobe, D-Wade, LeBron) who rely on “street-ball” athleticism to make up for their lack of fundamental skills. The AABA (Affirmative Action Basketball Association?) has an ice cream cone’s chance in the Georgia sun of ever becoming a reality or, if it does, of surviving its first legal challenge. A reader on the Chronicle Web site wonders if the players would play in white robes with or without hoods. But this story, silly as it is, affords a chance to make a serious observation about excellence and expectation. Back in 1997, Sports Illustrated ran a ground-breaking story, “What Ever Happened to the White Athlete?” which quantified the declining prominence of white players in mainstream sports. SI found a creeping sense of inferiority among young white student athletes. Whether they ascribed it to physiological superiority or to being hungrier and harder working, most seemed to accept that black athletes were simply better than they – so why go out for the team? The obvious irony is that, well into the 20th century, it was an article of faith in this country that blacks were physically “inferior,” lacking the strength, speed and intelligence to compete with white athletes. Now, we come into an era where white kids see “themselves” as the athletic bumblers. But the new stereotype is as false as the old. Any list of basketball’s all-time greats, after all, would be incomplete without the snow white likes of George
Mikan, Larry Bird, John Stockton, Jerry West, “Pistol” Pete Maravich and Kevin McHale, to name a few. Tellingly enough, if you put together a list of “today’s” white basketOPINION ball elite, you’d find it dominated by international Leonard stars like Manu Ginobili Pitts (Argentina), Dirk Nowitzki ■■■ (Germany), Steve Nash (South Africa, Canada), and Pau Gasol (Spain). The common denominator, I think, is that they grew up in places where they didn’t get the memo that white men can’t jump, grew up unburdened by their supposed athletic impotence. Their ability to thrive in a sport where black men dominate suggests that sometimes, excellence is a question of expectation, of how you see yourself. That should be a message of hope to young white athletes – and to young black scholars. Their plight, after all, is the mirror image of that faced by the white kid who fears to go out for the team, i.e., an academic achievement gap in which people who look like them are perennially on the short end and there is a dearth of role models to suggest it could ever be otherwise. One often hears black kids speak in ways that suggest they have internalized the inevitability of academic failure in much the same way white kids internalize the idea that they can’t run or jump. But success in any field is not some birthright of skin color, but, rather, a function of how hungry you are and how hard you work – a function of what you deem possible. That’s why people who expect to fail usually do. So here is the question we should ask our white kids struggling to hold on to the ball and our black ones struggling to master the equation: What if you expected to succeed?

Read the signs – for the road and for your life
I
learned a valuable lesson from a rather hilarious experience last week. First, let me share the hilarious experience. Last week, the bridge over Deep River Road near its intersection with Hickswood Road was closed due to bridge repairs. There had been an electronic sign on both sides of the bridge for two weeks announcing that it would be closed from Jan. 19-21, and I travel over that bridge going to and from school every day. So the morning of Jan. 19, I took another route to school that avoided the bridge. When I got home Tuesday afternoon, it was a beautiful day and I decided to take a walk down the greenway that parallels Deep River Road to see what kind of progress had been made on the bridge work. As I walked, I saw the first sign that read “Road Closed Ahead� just past Gordon Road, about a half-mile from the bridge. Then I came to a sign that read “Road Closed 1000 Feet Ahead� followed shortly by a sign reading “Road Closed 500 Feet Ahead.� Just prior to the bridge and its construction activity were orange cones across the road that signaled a car could proceed no further. I met my neighbor Dan at the end of the greenway near those cones and he was just shaking his head. “People in High Point apparently cannot read!� he exclaimed as he relayed that, in the brief time he was watching, several cars nearly had run into each other as they stopped right at the cones before attempting to turn around. So I decided to watch myself. If I had taken some paper with me, I would have voluntarily done a survey for the City of High Point about the effectiveness of its road signs. Of course, the city had done the right thing. They had warned regular commuters that the bridge would be closed for three days and had clearly marked that it was indeed closed for the first day last Tuesday. It was truly hilarious, however, to stand on the greenway and watch motorists speed by all three signs
Dissecting words What’s your meaning of middle class and populism? BY L. JOHN VAN TIL
E
ach day, political claims and terminology – astonishing or at least remarkable – pop up in the media. Consider two such current terms: “middle class� and “populism.� In the wake of the Massachusetts senatorial election, a sudden cascade of speeches and press releases by President Obama and his surrogates claim that the president is fighting to “rebuild the middle class.� But it is not at all clear what is meant by “middle class.� For more than a year, President Obama defined middle class as people making up to $250,000 a year – promising not to raise their taxes (at one point) and also promising to lower them (at another point). He did not say what the dollar threshold was – that is to say, the income level that puts one in the “lower class.� Last week, Obama went to a “working class� city, Lorain, Ohio, where he presented a laundry list of things he intended to do: create jobs, lower taxes, provide help for daycare costs, and more. His advisors selected this city because it received a significant share of “stimulus� funds – presumably, then, a friendly audience – and also because the state’s Democrat governor needs help for re-election. Those of us who know cities like Lorain know that its citizens view anyone making over $100,000 a year, much less $250,000 a year, as being “rich� – surely beyond the middle class. In fact, average income in Lorain is closer to $40,000 a year. Someone hearing the president talk about “class,� middle or otherwise, might wonder in which class Obama sees himself. For the past few years he and his wife have made more than a million dollars a year. In Lorain and in almost any other city in America, that kind of income would place one in the “upper class.�
Of course, very few people openly say they are “upper class� – at least not in public! Beyond money, attitudes can place one in a particular class in the public mind. Speaking of which, a finely tuned ear can detect in Obama’s speeches an Ivy League ring or bias. Consider again his magnanimous announcement that he has arrived to “rebuild the middle class.� Likely, most middle class people do not think they need a president to “rebuild� their lives. In fact, polls show that the precise message of the Massachusetts senatorial election was a nationwide rejection of the president’s far-left pro-
Someone hearing the president talk about ‘class,’ middle or otherwise, might wonder in which class Obama sees himself. grams to rescue (read: “rebuild�) America. That message is one that President Obama and his advisors apparently have not figured out yet. In addition to a muddled use of “middle class� during the past months, recent weeks have seen a sudden rise in the term “populism,� or “populist� – usually in a derogatory and negative way. Strikingly, Obama himself, a few days after the Massachusetts election, claimed that the motivation for voters in electing Scott Brown was the same motivation that elected Obama himself in 2008 – implying that it was a populist motivation. Some of Obama’s advisers and many of his defenders have referred to vocal protests against Obama’s programs, especially Obamacare, as populist expressions. They intend the word, of
course, to be a “put-down.� Here is an important point. There is some confusion among media people and Obama advisers as to the meaning of “populism.� They view those so-described as uneducated, radical-right hayseeds who really do not know what is good for America. The fact of the matter, however, is that populist protests have an honorable heritage in America. The term has its roots in an amalgam of rural protests from the 1870s to the 1890s, culminating in the Peoples Party Platform, presented in Omaha, Neb., in 1892. Most of its planks were subsequently adopted by the major parties by 1920, including direct election of senators, child-labor laws and a federal income tax. Moreover, other expressions of grass-roots protests have appeared from time to time. Apparently, opposition to Obama’s far-left programs has generated similar protests. “Populist� protests are typically inspired by certain elements: One, protesters view people in power as self-appointed elite who pose a danger to their basic interests. Two, they view the elite as possessing a plan that will rob them – a sovereign people under the Constitution – of their rights, values, voice and prosperity. It is such elements that motivate citizens powerfully. Finally, populist protests also are expressions of fundamental rights enshrined in the Bill of Rights, including freedom of speech, assembly and the freedom to petition the government for redress of grievances. Ruling elites, media talking heads and desperate politicians who ridicule those who exercise these rights show contempt for the most basic element in the American political tradition: protests arising from the people themselves.
and screech to a halt right at the cones, only to have to turn around and find another route. In the LESSONS 15 minutes I LEARNED watched and laughed at Paula motorists, I Williams saw only ■■■one car even slow down and then turn around at the “Road Closed Ahead� sign. While I certainly can see why my neighbor came to the conclusion that High Pointers can’t read, I think it is more likely that motorists simply read the signs and ignored them. Perhaps they thought maybe it’s not really closed today. Surely there is some way for me to get by. Then I thought about other “signs� that obviously are ignored. Hasn’t a murderer ever watched “America’s Most Wanted?� Don’t they know there are laws against killing another person? Haven’t they heard that killers are arrested, tried, convicted and sent to prison every day? And yet, murders still occur. Don’t we know all about cholesterol and obesity and how they contribute to heart disease and many other serious ailments? Yet how many of us are overweight? How many of us ignore those warning signs and choose to be couch potatoes at times instead of eating right and getting enough exercise? You get the picture. It is not so funny anymore when I think about the “signs� I ignore on a daily basis. And no one can read my signs for me. That is a task I must do myself. So I encourage you to read the “signs� in your own life. In this fast-paced world we live in, take the time to take care of yourself. Don’t ignore your own signs. And whatever you do, know that when the city says “Road Closed Ahead,� it really means it. PAULA GULLEDGE WILLIAMS lives in High Point and teaches at Pilot Elementary School in Greensboro.

Jewelry store worker killed in robbery NEW YORK (AP) – A jewelry store worker was shot to death in a brazen midday robbery Wednesday in a shop on posh Madison Avenue, police said. Two people were working at R.S. Durant at about 12:25 p.m. when a man in his 30s wearing a blue overcoat, gray slacks, sunglasses, a black wool hat and a scarf around his face came into the Upper East Side store and said he was robbing the place, police said. The workers refused to

It would also include tax breaks for small businesses and subsidies for infrastructure bonds issued by state and local governments. At the same time, the idea of using leftover Wall Street bailout money to pay for the jobs agenda is fading fast, with key Democrats like Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D., now opposed to the switch. Dropping that move could reduce Republican opposition to a bite-size jobs measure.

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama’s allies in the Senate acknowledge they can’t pass an $83 billion jobs package. Instead, they’re making plans to advance a small, first piece of his jobs agenda next month: a tax credit for new hires. It’s a bow to the political realities of a voting public that is increasingly worried about government spending. And the first initiative is aimed at winning over Republicans now that Democrats have lost their filibusterproof majority. The jobs tax credit would anchor a $15 bil-

HIGH POINT – One of High Point’s largest annual conventions will return to the city Feb. 3-4 for the eighth consecutive year. The Southern Building Material Association’s Annual Products Buying Show will be held at Showplace for retail lumber dealers, contractors, architects, landscape designers and building inspectors. The show is not open to the public. Over 70 exhibitors will display new products in the building industry at the show. The theme of this year’s show is “Building Again in 2010.”
Charlotte Young, president and CEO of the High Point Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, said that recruiting the show to High Point in 2002 was an important milestone for the city’s tourism industry because it was one of the largest multistate conventions that comes to the city. “This is very important for us,” she said about the show. “The kick-off at the first of the year is Charlotte Young pretty significant for us, President, CEO High Point and we have an internaConvention and Visitor’s Bureau tional event coming up in February.” It also set an example The bureau estimates the show will have an for what spaces like estimated economic im- Showplace could do for pact of $600,000 and bring the tourism industry, 1,000 to 1,200 attendees to she said. “We count on Showthe city.

In December 2008, Talmadge’s brother and sister-in-law, Ed and Peggy Hinkle, helped the United Way of Davidson County by donating $170,000 for the organization to meet its $2 million goal. Not only has Talmadge Silversides helped the United Way of Davidson County, she also helped with funding the new Henry Etta and Bruce Hinkle Hospice House by donating $250,000. Ed Hinkle previously said he was inspired by his sister’s donation toward the hospice house that he decided to give the gift to the United Way of Davidson County.

Jessup said he “was extremely excited” that the Silversides made the $150,000 gift “in light of a very tough economy and very tough campaign year.” “This will cut our deficit to only $150,000, and I’m hoping that this dramatic gesture by the Silversides might inspire others to help us reach our goal,” he said.

Guilford County Schools coordinator resigns ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
Seeing double, times 9 at NC Head Start program CLINTON (AP) – Visitors of Clinton Head Start may think they are seeing double as they enter the building, but their eyes are not deceiving them; there are actually six sets of twins there, and three more sets in the other Head Starts across Sampson County. Lethia Lee, a family service worker with the Sampson County Head Start, said this is the first time she has ever seen nine sets of twins in the program. “This is great for the history of Sampson County,� Lee commented, adding that there are typically only one or two sets of twins in the countywide program in any given year. Lee stated that it is a challenge to
work with the younsters since they look so much alike, but the program has made it possible for all of them to be in seperate classrooms, except for the twins at the Harrells location. “We want them to be individuals,� said Lee. But logistics aside, Lee said it was simply “amazing� to know that the program has so many twins hallowing its halls. “When we took their picture, I almost started crying,� said Lee of seeing all the pre-school-aged youngsters in her presence at one time. “And, they’re not even mine.� While most families may find it a handful just to keep up with one
3- to 5-year-old, the parents of these twins say they are having twice the fun. One parent who has gotten used to the twofold approach is Clinton resident Ahmad Muzayad.

Woman doubts her ability to help longtime friend
D
ear Abby: I am in my early 40s, and married with two daughters. I have a friend, “Sally,� whom I have known since the third grade. We are like sisters. Sally has been profoundly depressed for at least 15 years. She sees a therapist and a psychiatrist on a regular basis and is on medication. My question, Abby, is what do you say to someone who calls at least once a week, for at least an hour, crying so hard I can barely understand her? She calls to tell me how sad she is and how she doesn’t think anything in her life will improve. While I’m concerned for her and care about what happens to her, I don’t feel I can give her any advice or guidance that her counselor/ psychiatrist isn’t able to give. Short of listening and providing the proverbial shoulder to lean on, what more can I do? I feel I need to be there for her, but I also feel drained dry because this has been going on for several years. Any guidance you might offer would be greatly appreciated. – Concerned Friend in Florida Dear Concerned: You are a supportive friend, but when Sally calls crying so hard she can hardly talk, tell her that the person she needs to be talking to is her
therapist. By allowing her to vent to you, you are preventing the therapist from ADVICE evaluating her while Dear she’s in Abby crisis and ■■■giving her the tools she needs to improve. Your friend may need to have her meds adjusted or changed, and seeing Sally while she is “at the bottom� could give her therapist valuable insights. If Sally isn’t capable of placing the call to her therapist, offer to do it for her. Dear Abby: I am a 14-year-old girl in eighth grade. I have plenty of friends, play the clarinet and piano, and am involved in school yearbook and theater, among other things. My problem is, I get sick a lot. No one can figure out why I can’t go two weeks without picking up a virus. Because of this I am gone from school quite often. I can handle the occasional teasing I get from other kids, and my teachers are helpful. It’s the two school secretaries I have a problem with. Once, when I left school during the day because I wasn’t feeling well, one of them said to me: “You need to try to be at school more. I know it’s hard, but
you’ve got to try.� Other things they have said lead me to believe they think I’m faking. Now they want a note from every doctor I see. I was gone a lot last year, but they didn’t enforce this. What is appropriate in responding to their “comments�? I’d like to ask, “Is that your opinion as a secretary?� or say, “I’m doing the best I can with my situation and you’re not helping.� Or, I could bore them with a detailed description of my medical history, or maybe complain to the principal. What do you suggest? – Sick Of It in Iowa Dear Sick Of It: Your medical history is not the school secretaries’ business, and you do not owe them any detailed descriptions of it. However, it’s possible that the woman who advised you that you “needed to be at school more� was speaking out of concern, so try not to be defensive. If a note from your doctor is required, you should produce one after every absence. And I recommend that you have your mother contact the principal if there are any questions about your medical status.

Man dies after being zapped with Taser GOLDSBORO (AP) – A North Carolina man whose family said he had a heart condition has died after being zapped with a stun gun by a sheriff’s deputy. Multiple media outlets reported that Joe Spruill Jr. died early Wednesday during the confrontation outside Goldsboro. The State Bureau of Investigation was looking into the fatal encounter. Wayne County Sheriff’s Capt. Tom Effler says Deputy Martin McAlduff responded to a report of a fight at a road intersection. McAlduff and another deputy said Spruill began throwing things at them and resisted when they tried to arrest him for disorderly conduct. Spruill’s father said his son was hospitalized last month for heart problems. Joe Spruill Sr. said his son was still on medication for his condition.

GUILFORD COUNTY – Todd Baldwin, minority and women-owned business enterprises coordinator for Guilford County Schools, has resigned, district officials announced this week. The resignation is effective Sunday. John Mann, the district’s purchasing officer, has assumed Baldwin’s duties. Baldwin, 41, was suspended with pay on Dec. 31. Because school personnel matters are confidential, officials offered no further comment. Baldwin had held the $64,000 post for little more than a year. School officials did not acknowledge publicly that Baldwin was not on the job until after several contractors asked during a Guilford County Board of Education meeting in
December what had happened to Baldwin after he missed several contractor meetings. The school board also has used a committee to guide contractor recruiting efforts. The program falls under a state law that requires builders to make efforts to steer 10 percent of construction to MWBE businesses. The district has surpassed its 10 percent MWBE goal. “GCS remains deeply committed to furthering the involvement of minority and womenowned businesses in school construction and renovations as well as other services and operational areas,� said Sharon Ozment, chief financial officer. “Expanding MWBE participation is an important goal in the district’s strategic plan and a key district initiative.�

Big-heartedness is not always desirable D
ear Dr. Donohue: Can anything be done for an enlarged heart? The doctor told my son, age 40, that the left side of his heart is enlarged. He wasn’t sure why it happened. They have not found a blockage, but he is having a catheter examination of his heart arteries in a few weeks. He had an infection in a wisdom tooth. At that time, he had an irregular heartbeat. The infection cleared up. Then they discovered the enlarged heart. He has no symptoms – no chest pain, no shortness of breath. What can be done about this? – E.B.
BLONDIE
B.C.
Hearts enlarge for both good and bad reasons. Athletes often have larger-than-normal hearts. The heart is a muscle, and it responds to exercise in the same way other muscles do: It grows. An athlete’s heart is a good thing. It pumps more blood with each beat, so it beats more slowly than the average heart. High blood pressure is the greatest cause for leftsided heart enlargement. It’s the left side of the heart that pumps blood to the body. High blood pressure makes the heart beat with greater effort. For a time, the heart can continue to pump against high pressure by getting bigger, but there comes a

point when it can’t grow any larger. At that point, the heart fails. Lowering blood HEALTH pressure is the answer Dr. Paul to this kind Donohue of heart en■■■ largement. Leaky heart valves are another cause of heart enlargement. Cure for this is often replacement or surgical correction of the valve. Cardiomyopathies – inherited conditions where the heart grows big – are another reason why heart size increases. These conditions are treated with medicines or by removing excess heart tissue. Hearts also become bigger because they become flabby. They have become so weak that they can’t get rid of all their blood. The retained blood stretches them out of shape. Medicines often can restore a more-forceful beat, and the heart shrinks back to a more normal size. Your son’s wisdom tooth infection isn’t a likely cause of his heart enlargement. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have a problem with altitude. I live at 2,150 feet in the Sierra foothills. When I go above 4,500 feet, I get cramps in my legs and feet. I am in good
health and exercise daily. I have had plenty of tests done, including a stress test and wearing a heart monitor. Everything checks out well. I could use some help. – J.P. If the muscle cramps come from the altitude, you can do many things that permit tolerance to higher-than-normal elevations. Rapid ascent to heights of 8,250 feet (2,500 m) can get many in trouble with mountain sickness or high-altitude pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs). Most people tolerate an ascent to 5,000 feet (1,667 m) without trouble. You might not be one of them. Ascend to your destination slowly, taking two or even three days to reach it. If you go up more rapidly, descend to a lower elevation to sleep. Limit your physical activity in the first few days. Drink plenty of fluids; high altitudes dehydrate people. Wear warm clothes; for each 1,000 feet of elevation, temperature drops 4 degrees Fahrenheit. Ask your doctor if you can take Diamox, a mild diuretic, that helps people cope with heights. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

Giles Piano Duo in concert Friday BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
H
IGH POINT – James Giles has returned regularly to his native High Point since he left to study music and pursue a career as a professional musician and educator. Often he comes home to visit his parents, Frank and Martha Giles, and sometimes he also performs, specifically in summers as a member of the Eastern Music Festival piano faculty. This visit, he’s combining family – in a big way – with a performance. Giles and his wife Sevgi will give a concert Friday as The Giles Piano Duo. They’ll bring their son, Patrick, who just turned 3, to High Point, and they are expecting a second son in April. The Gileses are based in Evanston, Ill., where Jim is a faculty member at Northwestern University. Sevgi also is a professional pianist who teaches and performs. The two are not able to practice or perform together as often as they
would like. “When you have kids, your practice time diminishes considerably,” James Giles said. Giles “We have to get sitters to practice. Patrick expects our attention full time.” The first time Jim Sevgi and Sevgi Giles collaborated as piano duo partners was at their wedding in 2004. “Most people hire musicians, and we had musician friends play, but we also performed ourselves; we played some fourhand music,” Giles said. “We thought that was a good way to start things off.” For Friday’s concert as part of the High Point Community Concert Association series, the duo originally planned to give an all-Gershwin program, but they had to revise plans because of Sevgi’s pregnancy. Both
will play some pieces at one piano – which called for the program revision – and others at separate pianos. The program will include Ravel’s “Mother Goose Suite” in honor of their children, a Dave Brubeck medley of American patriotic songs, tangos by Astor Piazzolla and “Variations on an Original Theme” by Franz Schubert, which Giles describes as one of his and his wife’s favorite pieces in the world. The duo selected the program to include pieces they like to play, familiar music that is popular and less familiar pieces, Giles said. The duo had another recital in California this month, and Jim will perform in England and France in the spring. He’ll return to the Eastern Music Festival in the summer, and he recorded a solo CD of music by Franz Schubert that hopefully will be released soon. “Our major production for 2010 is the new baby,” Giles said.

Novelist Janice Y.K. Lee is flying in a better class. “I came in here from Hong Kong and decided to treat myself and upgrade to business,” Lee said during a recent interview from Los Angeles, where she arrived for a promotional tour (her publisher paid for coach) for the paperback of her debut novel, “The Piano Teacher.” Lee received strong critical attention and respectable sales for the hardcover of her book, but she may well be the latest author published by Penguin Group (USA) to become a major seller in paperback. According to Nielsen BookScan, which tracks around 75 percent of industry sales, the paperback has sold 151,000 copies since its release in November, already far above the 47,000 for the hardcover, which came out a year ago. The success shocked Lee, who likens her experience to “giving birth to an extraordinary child; you can’t take all the credit.” But it’s most familiar for Penguin, where paperback smashes in the past few years include Elizabeth Gilbert’s “Eat, Pray, Love,” Greg Mortenson’s “Three Cups of Tea” and Kim Edwards’ “The Memory Keeper’s Daughter.”

Someone you care about can share your enjoyment or you should meet late in the day for good food and conversation. Enjoy the moment. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Rid of yourself of any laziness. Procrastination will make you look bad and cause criticism. Open up to new trends and incorporate your old ideas with a different twist. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Observing the people around you will be eye-opening. You will discover something that helps you identify what you want to do in the future. You will be invigorated by what you contribute and the response you get from others. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Emotional matters will escalate if you try to run away or avoid a personal problem. Face the music and put what is bothering you in the past. Put your effort into work, not play, if you don’t want to be pressured. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take care of business. The demands being put on you emotionally will pose a greater problem the longer you wait. Moneymaking opportunities are looking good but check the deal out personally, rather than trusting someone else. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t make waves, start fights or antagonize someone who can influence your future. Your foggy outlook will cause you to misjudge a situation, leaving you in a vulnerable position. Assess things realistically and respond in a practical manner. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Initiate entertaining events or activities with friends or someone you love. A commitment made today may be based on a changing situation. Before you make a promise, consider the outcome from several different angles. ★★★★★

“I’m not sure what this deal proves,” a fan writes. “I always thought winning contracts were reached with the fewest bids.” In a team match, my fan writes, both Norths raised South’s one spade to two spades. At one table South leaped to four spades. He ruffed the second club, drew trumps and led a low heart to his queen. West won but didn’t know South had long hearts. West led another club, and South ruffed and ran the hearts to pitch two diamonds from dummy. Making four.
OTHER TABLE “At the other table,” my fan says, “South showed his hearts. At four spades he ruffed the second club, drew trumps and let the nine of hearts ride. West won but exited with a club, playing South for A Q J 9 4, A Q 10 2, K 6 2, 6. Making four again.” At the second table South’s bid of three hearts might have gained: He might have found a superior trump fit. But four spades will fail if West ducks the first heart. When he takes the king later, he’ll know South had a five-card suit. A diamond shift can’t lose.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 8 5 H 7 D K 8 7 3 2 C A Q 7 3 2. Your partner opens one spade, you respond 1NT and he bids two hearts. What do you say? ANSWER: Why do partners always bid the suits you don’t have? Since the deal appears to be a misfit, you must be careful. A bid of three clubs or three diamonds would promise a longer suit, and a bid of 2NT would suggest slightly more strength (and would be unwise with no help for either of partner’s suits). Your best bid is two spades. South dealer E-W 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.

HPU men face surging UNCA BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
HIGH POINT – One game removed from playing the nation’s highest-scoring team, High Point University’s men take on a suddenly surging offense at UNC Asheville tonight. “They’re really playing a small lineup, pushing it in transition more,” Panthers coach Scott Cherry said of the Bulldogs. “I think they just decided a small lineup gives them a better chance to have more scorers on the floor.” Asheville’s current five-game
winning streak includes an offense averaging 86.6 points per game. Most recently, the Bulldogs pulled out a 99-89 win over Presbyterian on Saturday. The surge in scoring – as well as up the standings – came after the Bulldogs lost six straight games. A 66-62 decision at High Point landed late in that stretch, just before a couple of heartbreaking defeats for the Bulldogs: 58-57 to Big South Conference leader Coastal Carolina and 77-74 in overtime to Charleston Southern. The winning streak began days later, with Asheville now at 8-12 overall and 5-4 in the conference.
The Bulldogs and Panthers (10-9, 5-4) are among five teams tied for third in the league. “They’ve played extremely well in the last seven games – six guys averaging double figures,” Cherry said. “They could easily be 7-0 in their last seven. The way they’re playing, they look really confident.” Sophomore guard J.P. Primm averages 11.6 points per game to lead the Bulldogs, with 6-foot-4 junior forward John Williams – often at center now – scoring 11.1. Sophomore guard Matt Dickey checks in at 10.4 points, 6-6 senior guard Sean Smith is at 10.2, and
6-3 guard Chris Stephenson – now the power forward – averages 10.1 points. UNCA’s 6-10 freshman center, D.J. Cunningham, averages 8.7 points in 23 minutes of action. For its part, High Point often plays small in a league lacking big-time big men. Outside of 6-10 center Cruz Daniels, the Panthers can counter with the athletic Corey Law at one forward spot along with guards Eugene Harris, Nick Barbour and Tehran Cox. “I feel we match up with them really well,” Cherry said. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526
Thompson steps up for Tar Heels BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU
CHAPEL HILL — The mood in the North Carolina locker room was palpable after Tuesday’s 77-63 win over N.C. State that stopped the Tar Heels’ three-game losing streak. For the first time in three games, instead of silence and tension there were smiles, laughter and joking around by the Tar Heels. And no player looked happier than Deon Thompson. The senior, who seemingly has disappeared from games this season, made his presence known from the start, scoring UNC’s first three points and leading the Tar Heels with 20 points. It was the fifth time Thompson has scored at least 20 points this season but the first since posting 23 in a win over Nevada on Nov. 29. “I’ve been more aggres-
sive in practice and just more determined, more into it and intense,” Thompson said. “As a leader, you’ve got to be intent and enthused about things, and I’m just trying to be a better leader.” Thompson’s aggressiveness was evident in the first half as he grabbed two rebounds, after missed free throws and muscled them in for four of his nine firsthalf points. But arguably Thompson’s most significant field goal came in the second half. With 10:09 left, he picked off a pass at midcourt and instead of handing it off to one of UNC’s guards, Thompson took the ball all the way to the basket for a crowd-silencing dunk to cap a 13-0 run that put the Tar Heels up for good. “I was just happy,” said Thompson, who let out a ferocious yell after the dunk.

Andre Dawson will be inducted into the Hall of Fame as a Montreal Expo, despite his preference to go in as a Chicago Cub. The hall announced its decision Wednesday. Dawson told WMVP-AM in Chicago that he thought hall officials would discuss the issue with him in detail before the decision was made. He said he wanted a chance to tell them “what really catapulted me to Hall of Fame status and pretty much what my preference was but I think their decision had been made. It was a little gut-wrenching for me to hear that but it’s their decision.”

Charlotte shocks Temple, 74-64 DCCC routs UNC junior varsity
DON DAVIS JR. | HPE
3-pointers and scored 20 points and Luis Guzman added a career-high 14 points for Temple, which fell into a threeway tie atop the league with Charlotte and idle Xavier. Charlotte fans, starved for success after the program’s recent woes, swarmed the court after the signature win, cheering as coach Bobby Lutz addressed the crowd over the loudspeaker. Just 11-20 a year ago and without an NCAA tournament appearance since 2005, the 49ers have returned to prominence behind a trio of newcomers that includes the speedy Green. He hit four 3-pointers, the last with 33 seconds left that ended Temple’s comeback hopes.

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Derrio Green scored 26 points and Charlotte rallied for a 74-64 victory over No. 15 Temple on Wednesday night to end the Owls’ six-game winning streak and create a logjam atop the Atlantic 10. Chris Braswell added 14 of his 15 points in the second half and Shamari Spears had 11 points and nine rebounds for the 49ers (15-5, 5-1), who continued their turnaround season by one-upping one of the nation’s top defensive teams. Frustrated by Charlotte’s trapping zone, Temple (17-4, 5-1) coughed up a 10-point first-half lead and shot 35 percent in losing for only the second time in 15 games. Ryan Brooks hit five

BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE
LEXINGTON – Netting a landmark win over a storied program before a sold-out crowd would be a magnificent accomplishment in and of itself. Reaching triple digits in a blowout of undefeated North Carolina stretches far beyond magnificent. The Davidson County Community College men’s basketball team defeated the Tar Heels’ junior varsity squad 101-69 Wednesday night to hand the team its first loss of the season. The Storm, meanwhile, improved to 17-4. “I thought it would be a war until the end,” Storm coach Matt Ridge said. “I told our guys that we were just as talented as them,
but they’re undefeated coming into this game because they’re better than the teams they played. To beat a well-coached team like that I think says volumes for our program.” Guard Phillip Williams set the tone early for the Storm’s relentless defense with four takeaways in the first half. Breaking away from a 1717 tie, the Storm closed the half by outscoring the Tar Heels 32-10 for a 49-27 halftime lead. “I think defensively, Derrick Mayo, Phillip Williams and Justin Glover were amazing, putting pressure on the ball,” Ridge said. “And Eric Potts, I can’t tell you how good that kid has been. He’s been the heart and soul of this program the last two years.”
Rico Geter filled it up from outside with 29 points and hit 5-of-9 from beyond the arc. Glover added 24 for the Storm. Williams poured in 15 and Kimani Hunt had 12. On the interior, Potts scored seven points and grabbed 11 rebounds. “I wasn’t surprised at how well they played tonight,” North Carolina coach Jerod Haase said. “I was hoping they didn’t make so many shots, but I wasn’t surprised that they’re a very, very good team at all.” Ford Tanner had 14 points to lead North Carolina and Frank Tanner added 11. “To be the first team to beat UNC in DCCC’s history, it was big to be a part of history,” said Williams. “As a team, we felt great. When we play together, we’re hard to beat.”

F
or the immediate future, Phil Mickelson figures to be the face of the PGA Tour. That future starts this week at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in San Diego. Mickelson makes his season debut today in this event. He’ll provide most of the star power. Mickelson is the only player ranked in the top 10 world rankings entered. Robert Allenby and Ernie Els are also playing, giving the stop three players rated in the top 20.
There’s no doubt Mickelson is a golf star. He owns three major championships and 37 PGA Tour titles among his 45 career professional wins. But with Tiger Woods taking an indefinite break from the game to focus on personal issues, the PGA Tour needs Lefty to be the right man for top billing. TV ratings and attendance figures dipped dramatically during Woods’ injury absence in 2008. The PGA Tour can ill afford another drop in those numbers this time.
Mickelson has the potential to at least partially fill the void left by the Striped One. The phrase “What Will Phil do next?” aptly describes his swashbuckling style that produces moments equal parts brilliant and disastrous. I’ve always admired Lefty’s skill and aggressiveness on the course. It will be interesting to see how he handles the brighter glow of the spotlight.

NBA suspends Arenas, Crittenton for rest of season NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton were suspended without pay for the remainder of the season Wednesday by NBA commissioner David Stern, who said guns in the workplace â&#x20AC;&#x153;will not be tolerated.â&#x20AC;? Stern delivered the punishment after meeting with Arenas earlier in the day, turning his indefinite suspension into a suspension without pay. Both players have admitted bringing guns into the Washington Wizardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; locker room, a violation of the collective bargaining agreement, following a dispute on a team flight. Stern said the play-
ers expressed remorse, but added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;nevertheless, there is no justification for their conduct.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The issue here is not about the legal ownership and possession of guns, Arenas either in oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home or elsewhere,â&#x20AC;? Stern said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is about possession of guns in the NBA workplace, which will not be tolerated.â&#x20AC;? Arenas, who is forfeiting about $147,200 per game, had already been suspended indefinitely earlier this month. Critten-
ton, who met with Stern on Tuesday, will lose about $13,435 per game. Arenas pleaded guilty Jan. 15 to a felony gun charge after an alleged confrontation with Crittenton in the Crittenton at Verizon Center. Arenas, who is scheduled to be sentenced March 26, is in the second season of a six-year, $111 million contract. He has asked the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association not to contest the penalty, while Crittentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans are unclear. His agent, Mark Bartelstein, told The Associated Press
that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;David Stern has done what he thinks is right for the league. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to look at it and talk about it with Javaris and the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association.â&#x20AC;? The Wizards have 38 games left in a woeful season that was thrown into turmoil when news of the confrontation involving the guns broke on Christmas Eve. The team has distanced itself from Arenas since Stern indefinitely suspended him, removing his likeness from the Verizon Center. Crittenton has been injured and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t playing, anyway. The team said it supported Sternâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling.

South Carolina fans celebrate the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 68-62 win over No. 1 Kentucky on Tuesday night.
SEC fines Gamecocks for celebration after upset COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; South Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first victory over a No. 1 team will cost $25,000. The Southeastern Conference fined South Carolina that amount Wednesday for violating league rules against permitting fans on the playing area following a 68-62 victory over top-ranked Kentucky on Tuesday night. As the game neared the end, security at the Colonial Life Arena held up a yellow rope to keep the people off the court. However, South Carolina guard Devan Downey urged students to join the players in celebration as time ran out. The Gamecocks had been 0-7 in the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history against No. 1 teams before the Wildcat win.
The scene was so crazy, Kentucky coach John Calipari headed straight for the locker room instead of walking to South Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bench for the traditional postgame handshake. This was considered South Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second such violation, the first coming five years ago after another win over Kentucky. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This policy is designed to create a safe environment for everyone who participates and attends our athletic contests,â&#x20AC;? SEC commissioner Mike Slive said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The security and protection of our student athletes, coaches, officials and fans is our primary concern.â&#x20AC;? The policy went into ef-
fect on Dec. 1, 2004, less than two weeks after a brawl involving players and fans during a game between the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills, and one day after another fight among players in a Clemson-South Carolina football game. A violation within the next three years, according to SEC policy, would bring South Carolina a $50,000 fine. South Carolina athletic director Eric Hyman said after Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win he had messaged Slive to see if beating a No. 1 team earned him a discount on the expected fine. Hyman said he had fans coming up to him giving him $1 bills to help pay any fine.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Patrick Dwyer and Eric Staal scored before 4 minutes elapsed, and the cellar-dwelling Carolina Hurricanes sent the New York Rangers to their fourth straight loss, 5-1 on Wednesday night. Dwyer and Staal beat goalie Henrik Lundqvist with consecutive shots 25 seconds apart to give the Hurricanes their third win in four games. Cam Ward, playing in his 20th straight game, made 37 saves for Carolina (17-28-7), which has an Eastern Conference-low 41 points. The Hurricanes also beat Boston 5-1 in their previous game Sunday. Ryan Callahan scored for the Rangers in the second period, but Sergei Samsonov answered 41 seconds later for Carolina. Samsonovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second of the game and 10th this season made it 4-1 at 7:51 of the third. Staal turned it into a full rout when he scored again during a 5-on-3 power play with 5:18 remaining. New York, which has four consecutive regulation losses for the first time this season, began the night tied in points for eighth in the East but only three points ahead of 13th-place Tampa Bay. The Rangers are on a 3-6-2 skid. They had opportunities to rally against the Hurricanes, but went 0 for 4 on the power play. New York held a 38-24 shots advantage.

Mickelson brushes off questions concerning Woods SAN DIEGO (AP) – The biggest crowd at Torrey Pines on Wednesday formed a semicircle around the 10th tee to watch Phil Mickelson, who suddenly is more than a hometown hero. He is looked upon now to deliver star power in the absence of Tiger Woods. Mickelson relishes just about any challenge that involves Woods. Just not this one. “Nobody will be able to ... fill the shoes,” Mickelson said. Speaking for the first time since Woods’ spectacular and sordid downfall led to an in-
definite break, Mickelson didn’t bother waiting for the first question at his press conference before the Farmers InMickelson surance Open. He offered a pre-emptive strike filled with compassion and perspective, even if it was short on detail. “The game of golf needs him to come back,” Mickelson said. “It’s important for him to come back and be a part of the sport. But right now, he’s got a lot more important things going on
in his life. Amy and I are good friends with both Tiger and Elin, and we care deeply about how this turns out. “But I’m going to choose not to talk about it publicly anymore, and I appreciate your understanding on that.” More questions followed, although Mickelson refused to be drawn into a discussion on whether he can fill the void left by Woods or whether he was surprised by the amount of media coverage, from gossip magazines to standup routines on late shows. He did confirm that he has
tried to reach out to his longtime rival and had “limited communication.” “With the family – not necessarily saying with who in the family,” Mickelson said. No one has more to gain than Mickelson while Woods is away. He is the No. 2 player – in the ranking, PGA Tour victories, TV appeal – and even before details emerged of Woods’ infidelity, Mickelson was poised to challenge him like never before. In their final PGA Tour event, Mickelson charged from behind in the final round of the Tour Championship for a three-shot

Federer extends streak MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) – The only three men to beat Roger Federer in the last 19 majors were already out of the Australian Open, leaving the Swiss star with a new threat to face. Nikolay Davydenko’s 13-match winning streak was the hottest on the tour and included two wins over Federer during title runs at the season-ending championships in November and the season-opening event at Doha earlier this month. The Russian unloaded everything he had on Federer for a set and a half Wednesday and was suddenly in uncharted territory at a Grand Slam tournament. That’s when a bit of gamesmanship and a lot of big-match experience helped Federer switch gears and win 13 straight games en route to a 2-6, 63, 6-0, 7-5 victory that sent Davydenko packing to join Federer’s former Grand Slam conquerors: No. 2ranked Rafael Nadal, No. 3-ranked Novak Djokovic, and No. 4-ranked Juan Martin del Potro. “Winning that many games in a row against a player that’s been on fire like this, it’s a great sign,” Federer said. The win stretched his record to a 23rd consecutive Grand Slam semifinal appearance, something he rated as “definitely one of the most incredible things I have in my resume.” Before Federer, Ivan Lendl and Rod Laver shared the record at 10. “It’s incredible looking back on how many years that is now, you know, I’m able to deliver at Grand

Roger Federer celebrates after beating Nikolay Davydenko in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open on Wednesday. Slam play, especially this year,” he said. “Looking at the draw with (former No. 1-ranked Lleyton) Hewitt in the fourth round and Davydenko in the quarters, who has been on fire the last weeks and even today, you know, we saw big signs of it. “So for some reason I was just a bit worried I was not going to make it this time in the semis. Now obviously that it’s safe again and I’ve been able to add one. It’s amazing.” Besides his incredible run of Grand Slam semifinals that began at Wim-
bledon in 2004, Federer boasts three Australian Open wins among his record 15 major titles and 50 wins or more at three of the four biggest tournaments in tennis. Defending champion Nadal, who beat Federer in five sets in last year’s final here and at Wimbledon in 2008 and at three French Opens, retired with a knee injury while trailing No. 5 Andy Murray in the third set of their quarterfinal on Tuesday night. Del Potro, who beat Federer to win the U.S. Open in September, lost to Marin Cilic. The Croat
gained a semifinal against Murray, a Scot who carries the extra burden of trying to be the first British man since the 1930s to win a major. Djokovic, who beat Federer in the semifinals here in 2008 en route to the title, complained of an upset stomach following a 7-6 (8), 6-7 (5), 1-6, 6-3, 6-1 loss to Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, reversing the outcome of their meeting in the final here two years ago. “I saw he wasn’t very good, but sometimes he does that and he wins,” Tsonga said.
Labonte ready to enjoy perk BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
ARCHDALE – Bobby Labonte gets to enjoy one of the perks of his relatively new Cup gig this weekend. Labonte is set for his fourth shot at the 24 Hours of Daytona and will be on the team favored to win the GT class for production-based cars. That’s because Labonte will be driving for his Cup car owner, Kevin Buckler. And while Buckler is still getting his footing in Cup while starting his second season, he fields one of the powerhouse teams in the secondary division of the Grand-Am Series, having won two class championships. Buckler’s team will be seeking its second straight class victory and fourth overall in the twice-
victory over Woods. The last time they competed was in the final round of the HSBC Champions in Shanghai. They played in the final group, and Mickelson turned a two-shot lead over Woods into a six-shot margin at the turn and went on to victory. The turnaround for Mickelson came in September when he hooked up with former PGA champion Dave Stockton, who persuaded Mickelson to go back to his old style of putting. Mickelson started making everything, a frightening complement with work he has done on his long game.

In that type of racing, Kevin is strong. And with the drivers that he has, I’d say one of the cars will win the class.” Labonte said he was invited to drive last November, shortly after he decided to stay with Buckler’s Cup team for the 2010 season. In his previous three efforts in the 24-hour race, Labonte drove cars in the Daytona Prototype class that weren’t considered among the favorites. He
said the GT cars drive more like a stock car than the prototypes. “Even though the engine sits in the rear end, it is balanced pretty good and you can slide it a little bit,” Labonte said. “I got to the point in testing that I was having more fun than I had in the prototype cars. I’m more used to driving that type of car. It rolls a little bit and does things that our Cup cars do.” The other Cup regulars on the entry list will be in prototype cars. Juan Pablo Montoya and Jamie McMurray will be among the favorites to win the overall title driving for their Cup car owner, Chip Ganassi. Montoya helped the Ganassi team win the event in 2007 and 2008. He and McMurray will be paired with Ganassi’s IndyCar
drivers Scott Dixon and Dario Franchitti. Max Papis, who was an occasional contestant in the Cup Series as a rookie last year, will be paired with Ganassi’s regular GrandAm drivers Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas in another Riley-BMW. Four-time Cup champ Jimmie Johnson will help Alex Gurney and Jon Fogarty, who teamed to win the Grand-Am championship in 2007 and 2009 but are still seeking their first 24-hour win. AJ Allmendinger and Paul Menard, who will drive Fords for Richard Petty Motorsports this season, will drive Ford-powered entries. Qualifying starts today, with the green flag scheduled to wave Saturday at 3:30 p.m. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Move over Dallas, the New Orleans Saints are the new “America’s Team.” With New Orleans about to make its first Super Bowl appearance in franchise history, memories of Hurricane Katrina still lingering and close ties between the team and the city’s rebuilding effort, Colts players understand why the Saints are this year’s sentimental favorite. They just want to play the role of spoiler. “There’s a reason America is pulling for New Orleans, and why wouldn’t they? They’ve been through a lot,” Indy safety Antoine Bethea said. “Sports tends to pull people together, so it’s commendable for New Orleans to be, as I guess you’d say, America’s team right now. But at the same time, we’re going to go out there as the Indianapolis Colts and play ball.” The reach of New Orleans’ fans goes all the
way to the highest levels of the White House. “You know, I think both teams are terrific,” President Barack Obama told ABC News. “I guess I am rooting a little bit for the Saints as the underdog, partly just because when I think about what’s happened in New Orleans over the last several years and how much that team means to them. You know, I’m pretty sympathetic.” The Colts know they’re still the favorite in at least one state, Indiana, and one city, Las Vegas. Bookmakers have installed them as a 51⁄2point favorite, prompting Obama and others to pull for an upset. “He’s entitled to his opinion and why wouldn’t he be rooting for them?” Bethea said of Obama’s decision to cheer for New Orleans. “Like I said, the city has been through a lot. But the Colts, man, we’re going to go down there and give them a show.”
Warner ready to disclose plans PHOENIX (AP) – The agent for Kurt Warner says the Arizona Cardinals quarterback will hold a news conference on Friday to announce whether he will retire from the game. Mark Bartelstein, in a telephone interview on Wednesday, said the announcement will be made at the Cardinals training facility in Tempe. Bartelstein declined to reveal Warner’s decision. The 38-year-old quar-
terback, who has led two franchises to the Super Bowl and one to the NFL title, has strongly considered retirement in the wake of a season that saw him miss a game with a concussion. He led the Cardinals to an 11-7 season, including a wild playoff victory over Green Bay, one year after directing Arizona on a stunning run to the Super Bowl. The Cardinals were eliminated 11 days ago.
Philly green still good for McNabb FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) – Even wearing his familiar No. 5, Donovan McNabb looked a little different Wednesday in an NFC Pro Bowl jersey. “I look good in blue, don’t I?” he said. McNabb wasn’t dropping a hint about changing uniforms. He said he was happy to hear Philadelphia coach Andy Reid wants him back in Eagles green next season. “I don’t want to be anywhere else but Philly,” McNabb said following the first practice for Sunday’s Pro Bowl. “I don’t believe in starting somewhere and going somewhere else to finish
your career. I believe in starting somewhere and finishing what you’ve started.” There was speculation about McNabb’s future after he struggled in consecutive losses to Dallas to end the season. The second defeat came in an NFC wild-card playoff game, and fans in Philly took losing the way they always do: badly. “When you’re playing in Philadelphia, obviously there’s up and there’s downs,” McNabb said. “Am I mad at them for responding that way? No. We were upset as well. In my 11 years, do I think we should have won a Super Bowl? Absolutely.”

Caterpillar profit tumbles for quarter NEW YORK (AP) — Caterpillar said Wednesday that its fourth-quarter profit tumbled because demand remained weak, but the maker of mining and construction equipment expects sales to rebound in 2010 as the economy improves and dealers replace inventory. Leading the way will be China and other developing countries where an increasing share of the company’s yellow-and-black machinery is sold.
Oil inches up despite weakening demand NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices were flat Wednesday after a government report showed demand for crude products dropped even further from the weak levels of a year ago when the recession’s grip on the economy was strongest. Benchmark crude for March delivery rose 6 cents to $74.77 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract dropped 55 cents to settle at $74.71 on Tuesday.
AirTran reports record earnings ATLANTA (AP) — Discount carrier AirTran Airways is flying high as some of its bigger rivals struggle to turn a profit. Parent company AirTran Holdings Inc. on Wednesday posted a profit of $17.1 million, or 11 cents a share, for the final quarter of 2009. The fourth-quarter profit compared to a loss of $121.6 million, or $1.03 a share, in the same period of 2008. Revenue rose 1.5 percent to $598.4 million from $589.4 million. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were expecting adjusted earnings of 3 cents a share on sales of $585.4 million.
wrap up their two-day session. No major changes in rates or economic support programs are expected to be announced. The big question is whether Fed policymakers will signal their timing and strategy to reverse course. “At some point, the Fed will have to start giving guidance about their exit-strategy plans,” said Chris Rupkey, an economist at the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi. For now, the Fed is all but certain to leave its key bank lending rate, which affects consumer loans, at a record low near zero. Economists also expect
the Fed to renew a pledge to hold this rate, called the federal funds rate, at record lows for an “extended period” — viewed as at least six months. But some analysts don’t rule out the possibility that the pledge could be watered down or dropped entirely. Doing so would signal to Wall Street and Main Street that the Fed will be moving toward boosting borrowing costs to prevent inflation. The funds rate has been the Fed’s main tool to influence the economy since the 1980s. But in the wake of the financial crisis, it could lose its influence. Instead, the Fed
may soon rely more on another tool: boosting the rate it pays banks on the $1 trillion in excess reserves held at the central bank. That would raise borrowing costs for companies and ordinary Americans. Bumping up that rate, now at 0.25 percent, would give banks an incentive to keep money parked at the Fed, rather than lend it. Shortterm rates would rise. And economists say so would rates tied to commercial banks’ prime rate, which affects many consumer loans. The federal funds rate would rise, too.

Workers at the Toyota Motor Manufacturing plant in Princeton, Ind., inspect a Toyota Tundra truck as it comes off the final inspection line in this 2005 photo. Toyota is also suspending production at six North American car-assembly plants beginning the week of Feb. 1. It gave no date on when production could restart. The timing could not be worse for Toyota. Two years ago, the company beat out General Motors Co. to become the world’s largest automaker. Now just weeks into 2010, it is stopping some sales in its biggest market, the U.S., at a time when it desperately needs to sell cars here after reporting
its first-ever annual loss last year. The sales and production halt involves several best-selling U.S. models, including the Camry and Corolla sedans and the RAV 4 crossover, a blend of an SUV and a car. RAV 4’s sales surged last month. In addition, the problem could spread to Europe, where a similar accelerator part is being used, said Toyota spokeswoman Ririko Takeuchi. She declined to give the number of vehicles affected.
New home sales fall 7.6 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — New home sales unexpectedly fell 7.6 percent last month, capping the industry’s weakest year on record. December’s sales fell to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 342,000 from an upwardly revised November pace of 370,000, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters had forecast a pace of 370,000 for December. The results were the
DILBERT
weakest since March and indicated demand remains sluggish despite newly expanded tax incentives to spur sales. The report is likely to fuel concern that the housing market turnaround will falter when government support ends this spring. Tom Brown, co-owner of Summerville, S.C.-based Crown Home Builders, was not surprised that last month was so poor for the industry as a whole. Buyers are having trouble

Recall hurts Toyota NEW YORK (AP) — Toyota’s suspension of U.S. sales on an unprecedented scale to fix faulty gas pedals deals a blow to the automaker’s reputation for quality and endangers its fledgling earnings recovery. The suspect parts are made by a U.S. supplier, but they are also found in its European-made vehicles, an official with the automaker said Wednesday. Toyota said it hasn’t decided what to do there. Japan’s Toyota Motor Corp. announced late Tuesday it would halt sales of some of its top-selling models to fix gas pedals that could stick and cause unintended acceleration. Last week, Toyota issued a recall for the same eight models affecting 2.3 million vehicles.

Fed focuses on exit strategy WASHINGTON (AP) — Now that the economy is on the mend, the Federal Reserve this year can focus on how and when to pull back the stimulus money pumped out to fight the financial crisis. With his prospects for another term brightening, Ben Bernanke will lead that effort. At their first meeting of the year, Fed policymakers are likely weighing such matters, including which tools to use. The officials resumed discussions Wednesday morning and are slated to issue a policy statement in the afternoon when they

meeting tough criteria for mortgage loans, he said. And though builders are cutting prices, the shaky economy and weak job market are keeping home shoppers away. “People are holding on to what they have,” he said. Housing remains one of the weakest links for the economic recovery, and is weighing on the minds of Federal Reserve officials who issued a policy statement Wednesday afternoon.

Stocks rise on Fed remarks NEW YORK (AP) – The Federal Reserve reassured stock market investors Wednesday that the economy is improving and that interest rates will stay low. Stocks recovered from an early slide to end moderately higher after the Fed issued a more upbeat assessment of the economy following a two-day meeting on interest rates. Treasury prices also reversed direction and began falling as investors withdrew money from safe haven holdings.
The Fed’s statement that “economic activity has continued to strengthen” since its last meeting injected some calm into a nervous market. Stocks have fallen in five of the last eight days as investors question what effect a more assertive Washington will have on Wall Street. Some investors are also concerned that stocks have risen too fast in a 10-month climb that has left the Standard & Poor’s 500 index up 62.2 percent. The Fed left interest rates
near zero, as expected. Analysts said that a dissenting vote on the decision from Kansas City Federal Reserve President Thomas Hoenig was a sign that the economy is improving enough to at least discuss boosting the key lending rate. “That means there are a couple of people who feel like that the economy is getting better at a nice rate that no longer warrants these exceptionally low rates,” said Jamie Cox of Harris Financial Group. AP
Geithner defends role on AIG bailout WASHINGTON (AP) – Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner drew sharp criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike Wednesday for his role in the $180-billion-plus taxpayer bailout of insurance giant American International Group, with some challenging his claim that he played no role in withholding information about AIG deals with business partners. When President Barack Obama picked the then-
New York Fed chief on November 24, 2008, “I withdrew from monetary policy decisions... and day to day management of the New York Fed,” Geithner told a congressional panel. But one member after another lit into Geithner, venting rising public frustration over bank bailouts and bonuses as Wall Street firms recovered from the recession but unemployment remains at 10 percent. Rep. Stephen Lynch,
a Massachusetts Democrat, told Geithner: “It just stinks to the high heaven what happened here. The disclosure was not there at the proper time to tell the American people and tell this Congress what was going on.” Rep. Marcy Kaptur, Ohio Democrat, told Geithner he was more beholden to banks than he was to taxpayers when he ran the New York Fed and cut him off abruptly when he tried to deny it.
SEC tightens rules for money funds WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal regulators on Wednesday tightened rules for money-market mutual funds to require them to hold some assets that could be easily converted to cash and to disclose new information on fund values. The Securities and
Exchange Commission voted 4-1 at a public meeting to adopt the new rules designed to bolster protection for investors in money-market funds, which hold about $3.2 trillion in assets. The move came in response to an episode in September 2008, at the
height of the financial crisis, in which a $60 billion money fund “broke the buck” and exposed investors to losses. The value of the Primary Reserve Fund’s assets fell to 97 cents per investor dollar – below the dollar-for-dollar level needed for full repayment.
Divers search pond for a third victim where the bodies of two teenage volunteer firefighters had already been recovered from a submerged vehicle earlier in Zelienople, Pa., Wednesday. The divers later recovered the third body.
Firefighters mourn teen colleagues ZELIENOPLE, Pa. (AP) – Two teenage volunteer firefighters who were reported missing after they didn’t show up for a training drill for their smalltown department died along with a friend when their SUV slid off a road and into an icy western Pennsylvania pond. The bodies of firefighters Elijah Lunsford and Sam Bucci, both 18 and students at Seneca Valley High School along with the third victim, 17-year-old Trevor Barkley, were pulled from the pond Wednesday morning, Zelienople Fire Chief Rob Reeb said.
Spencer Mathew, 18, a schoolmate and fellow volunteer firefighter in the three-stoplight town of Zelienople, about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh, said he went to school briefly Wednesday before leaving. “Emotions around the school were all gloom and sadness,” Mathew said. Lunsford had been with the department for two years and Bucci for more than a year, Reeb said. They were like sons to many of the 48 firefighters in the company, he said. The Butler County coroner determined all three drowned.
Threat puts Ohio college on alert, on edge NELSONVILLE, Ohio (AP) – An attacker could find many places to hide at Hocking College, a campus carved into a forest in the Appalachian foothills. And with the threat of a mass killing looming over black students at the community college, Allen Edwards is steering clear of the trees. “I don’t feel too safe walking by the woods,” said Edwards, a 19-
year-old black student from Canton. “There’s woods everywhere. And somebody could be out in them, and I don’t know.” The FBI is investigating a threat scrawled last week on a bathroom wall warning that black students would be killed Feb. 2. It bore the trademarks of just another casual – though chilling – threat of violence on a college campus, but stu-
dents here aren’t taking any chances. At least two black students have withdrawn permanently from school out of fear for their safety, and another dozen have moved out of the dorm where the threat was found, officials at the two-year technical college said. Some students seem unperturbed, but others say the threat has brought simmering racial tensions to the surface.
