HIGH POINT – A High Point church with a rich tradition has invited the public to share in its history at a celebration planned for this weekend.

The event, billed as a Black History Appreciation service, is planned for Saturday at First Baptist Church on E. Washington Drive, the city’s oldest African-American church. Musical perfor-mances and other entertainment are planned.

Organizers said they want the day to highlight the history of the E. Washington Drive church – which was founded by former slaves in 1871 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places last year – and the city’s African-American community in general.

“We want to further the knowl-edge of our historical status. The total church community is not yet aware of that status,” said the Rev. Robert White, the church’s associate minister. “We certainly hope First Baptist will maintain its leadership in the area, as it has enjoyed the leadership of the past.”

In addition to an emphasis on music from several area artists, the program will include a rec-ognition of the Feb. 11 Associa-tion and the sit-in staged by lo-cal high school students at the former F.W. Woolworth store in High Point on Feb. 11, 1960, from the High Point Chamber of Com-merce, White said.

The historical designation made First Baptist eligible for tax credits that could be used to facilitate renovations to the aging church building. Church leaders have looked into this but haven’t pursued their options yet, White said.

The church has struggled with dwindling membership numbers in recent years, but White said he and others still are hopeful that First Baptist and the surround-

ing neighborhood will see a turn-around.

A recent police initiative to clean up open-air drug markets has been effective, he said, and he’s hoping the Washington Drive corridor will begin to see some economic development.

“We’re down to 36 members. We’re doing well and we’re main-taining. We’re a tithing church,” said White. “Being the oldest or-ganization in the area, we expect to be a catalyst for all the forth-coming entities or projects in the area.”

ARCHDALE – The Arch-dale City Council on Tuesday night adopted a plan that will guide de-velopment along N.C. 62.

At its regular monthly meeting, the City Council unanimously approved the plan that city offi cials decided to embark on last year because they said the current confi guration of N.C. 62 is not expected to handle the anticipated growth in the area.

“With the existing In-terstate 85 interchange with N.C. 62 and the soon-to-be-complete In-terstate 74, there is great potential for economic development, as well as new residential opportu-nities for northern Arch-dale,” said Jeff Wells, Archdale’s planning and zoning director.

The plan, which came at a price tag of $65,000, was funded by the N.C. Department of Transpor-tation and the High Point Metropolitan Planning Organization. The city hired the Urban Resource Group, a division of Kim-ley Horn and Associates, to come up with the plan. The plan determines a proper design for N.C. 62, as well as connecting streets within the area for the future.

“This document will provide us with the guide to, over time, ensure that the corridor is safe and provides an intercon-nected network of streets for the motoring public as N.C. 62 transitions from a two-lane rural corridor to a multi-lane urban cor-ridor,” Wells said.

In other business, the City Council approved a resolution in favor of a one-quarter cent tax in-crease to help Randolph

GREENSBORO – The sights and sounds of heavy machinery equipment at Piedmont Triad Interna-tional Airport are starting to fade toward a conclu-sion for the biggest expan-sion in the history of the airport.

The more than $500 mil-lion expansion to make way for the FedEx Corp. cargo hub should be fi nal-ized this spring.

The remaining work on taxiway extensions and small items along the re-located section of Bryan Boulevard could be com-pleted in May, weather permitting, said Mickie Elmore, PTIA director of development.

The new, nearly 2-mile-

long parallel runway opened last month, and FedEx’s latest national cargo hub started sorting its fi rst packages in June of last year.

The relocated sections of Bryan Boulevard and Old Oak Ridge Road were com-

pleted several years ago.The expansion dates

from April 1998, when Fed-Ex executives from the corporate headquarters in Memphis, Tenn., came to PTIA to announce the airport had been picked for the overnight sorting

corporation’s hub. The fi rst grading for the expan-sion began six years ago and involved moving 15 million cubic yards of earth, enough to fi ll Oak Hollow Mall one and a half times.

The expansion has cost $539 million, according to airport fi gures.

The money includes $300 million from FedEx for the hub complex, $110 million for the new run-way, $40 million for the taxiways, $57 million for the Bryan Boulevard re-location and $32 million to prepare the site for the FedEx hub.

In addition to the $300 million through FedEx, the expansion has been funded with $118 million in federal appropriations, $58 million from the state of North Carolina and $63

million through the Pied-mont Triad Airport Au-thority.


PTIA expansion could be complete by spring

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) – Puppet cleavage has been ruled out for advertising post-ers in Colorado Springs bus shelters.

Lamar Advertising rejected posters for a touring production of the Broadway show “Av-enue Q” because they

show the cleavage of a fuzzy pink puppet.

Lamar account execu-tive Jeff Moore says the company takes a conser-vative approach in Colo-rado Springs.

The city is known for its political conserva-tism, and some conser-vative Christian groups

have headquarters in the city.

The poster has been re-placed by one showing the face of another puppet.

“Avenue Q” is a Tony-winning musical about twentysomething New Yorkers, both human and puppets, searching for life and love.

HIGH POINT – Requests from Pres-byterian Homes Inc. were approved at the Planning and Zoning Commis-sion’s meeting Tuesday night after the voting was postponed at last month’s meeting.

The commission voted 5-0 to approve requests that will allow a building up to 7,000 square feet and 40 feet in height to be built along a northeast corner of the land owned by the company off of Sandy Ridge Road. Commission members Jim White and Joe Humble excused themselves from the voting process due to business ties with the company.

Tim Webster, president of Presby-terian Homes Inc., said the company had plans to build an offi ce that could include accounting offi ces and other

management services for Presbyte-rian Homes, River Landing and two other nursing homes in the state. He presented plans for a one-story 5,300-square-foot offi ce building at the meet-ing.

“Our plans are to add management services,” he said. “The building will be brick in uniform with the sur-rounding community. We could end up building two to three more build-ings in the future.”

Mike Scott, a resident who’s prop-erty sits across the street from the re-zoned site, said he had concerns that the plans could change to a two-story building in the future because the re-zoning allows for buildings up to 40 feet in height. Scott said a two-story of-fi ce building across from his property could be an eye-sore.

Because Scott’s neighborhood al-ready allows for residential units to be

built up to 50 feet in height, commis-sion member Kathy Carter said she approved the rezonings.

“Anyone who lives in (Scott’s devel-opment) is already at risk of living next to a 50-foot-tall building,” she said.

The commission also continued the city’s street abandonment initiative, recommending approval to abandon an unimproved portion of Sheldon Court, an unimproved alley lying east of N. Hamilton Street between Guil-ford Avenue and Louise Avenue, and an unimproved right-of-way lying north of Franklin Avenue between Brentwood Street and New Street. Those cases next will go to City Coun-cil for approval.

The commission has three street abandonment cases on its agenda for its next meeting on March 23.

HILLSBOROUGH (AP) – Attorneys for John Ed-wards’ mistress on Tues-day accused a former aide to the Democratic presidential candidate of theft after he turned over a video camera that belonged to the woman.

Attorneys for Rielle Hunter said the video camera was taken from a home where she had been living.

The video camera was one of several items that ex-aide Andrew

Young gave to the judge. Young’s attorney said he did not know whether the video camera was Hunter’s or whether it belonged to Edwards’ presidential campaign. Hunter has sued Young for invasion of privacy and sought the return of the videotape purported-ly showing Edwards in a sexual encounter with his pregnant mistress. That video has been turned over to the court and placed under seal.

P O R T - A U - P R I N C E , Haiti (AP) – Haiti has handed U.S. offi cials six orphans its police seized over the weekend as they were about to board a plane for the United States, a top Haitian offi -cial said Tuesday.

Social Welfare agency chief Jeanne Bernard Pierre would not say exactly when her offi ce transferred the children to the U.S. Embassy.

Erikka Knuti, a spokes-woman for U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, who intervened on behalf of the four women trying to escort the orphans out of Haiti, said the children were cleared to depart Haiti by all the required government agencies. She said she expected the group to leave Tuesday.

Their seizure comes as

many Haitians fear for-eigners are exploiting post-earthquake chaos to illegally take children.

The perception was fu-eled by an ongoing case involving 10 U.S. Baptist missionaries who were

stopped while trying totake 33 children across theborder without permis-sion of Haitian offi cials.

Look, it’s clear that this coun-try’s government can’t function unless there is bipartisanship. So Republicans, on all of these is-sues that we face, why not let the Democrats have something that they want, and likewise Demo-crats, why not let the Republicans have something that they want? That’s the only way any progress is going to come.

We need changes in education, in health care, in our income tax structure, in energy policy and in other things. For either party to refuse to negotiate and compro-mise is foolish, and it hurts this country badly. It’s time to stop this nonsense and move forward as best we can, even if it is only incrementally small steps at a time.

Obama is the most practical, most pensive and most persuasive president we’ve had in a long time. But at every turn in the road to progress, he’s run into obstruc-tions. The “bully pulpit” has been drowned out by Internet drivel, absurd Twitter chatter and parti-san poppy-cock.

Obama has worked hard at try-ing to get bipartisan cooperation on solving the problems facing this country. Instead of taking advantage of the Democratic majority in Congress and forcing through health care, he asked both parties to work on it together and bring something acceptable to the country to him. But at every step, an almost unanimous and partisan-motivated Republican Party obstructed those efforts.

In this mid-term election year, everything is about political gain. It has reached the ridiculous level of legislation to form a bipartisan budget commission being blocked by Republican senators who had supported or even sponsored the legislation previously. To paraphrase Joe Klein in a recent

article he wrote … absent respon-sible opposition parties, we’re left with a crippled democracy, lacking all ability to address our most serious problems. What’s up with that?

GARY PARKERArchdale

Obama can’t abrogate the

laws of economics

Perhaps the most outrageous propaganda the Obama disciples broadcast is the studied repudia-tion of the prosperity created by the Reagan marginal tax cuts in 1982. According to their propa-ganda, these cuts caused massive defi cits. Not true.

The tax cuts created unprec-edented tax revenues and helped preserve Social Security. The Congress caused unprecedented defi cits by refusing to approve Reagan’s budget forcing a con-tinuing resolution which allowed unbridled spending by the Demo-crat Congress. In budgetary mat-

ters, the president proposes, the Congress disposes: Poli Sci 101.

The acceptance of the prem-ise Reagan’s marginal tax cuts caused massive defi cits is pre-requisite to accepting the mind-numbing mantra: the stimulus package has saved ...... million jobs (fi ll in the blank) and without it we would be in a great depres-sion. Wrong! Except for universi-ties and government, the stimulus package has not only failed to create jobs, unlike the Reagan tax cuts, the stimulus package has been revenue negative!

Think about it. Sustainable jobs are not created by central plan-ners regardless of IQ. Sustainable job creation is the spontaneous result of the natural economic law of market allocation of resources. Why didn’t FDR create Google instead of the CCC? Why not the National Football League instead of the Internal Revenue Service? Obama and his messianic intel-lectuals have neither the vision nor the prescience to abrogate the natural law of economics any-more than they can repeal

debt greater than our Gross Na-tional Product, increased regula-tions without cost/benefi t scru-tiny, and increased government intervention in the market place, our grandchildren will become de-pendent upon central government for sustenance.

YOUR VIEW---

W e are speeding toward an economic cliff because our government can’t practice restraint.

We spend so much more than we take in because politicians at every level use the public treasury to win elections. The public mostly ac-cepts lavish promises of more and more federal spending because the cost of government has been so effectively divorced from what actually comes out of our paychecks.

Ask almost anyone how they did on their taxes and you’re likely to hear a happy excla-mation that the taxpayer got a little money back! But ask the same person how much they paid the government over the year in withheld income and payroll taxes and you’ll often see a blank look.

When the money that government spends seems so unconnected to the money we earn it is easy for many to see government expendi-tures as “free money.” It’s not, but the engi-neered divorce in perception between the fruits of our labors and spending by elected offi cials has resulted in a national debt that equals more than $500,000 per American household. If not for accounting sleights-of-hand the national debt would be seen as much higher than even the shocking fi gure of more than $12 trillion.

As my father, Ronald Reagan, once said, “Our federal tax system is, in short, utterly impossible, utterly unjust and completely counterproductive, it reeks with injustice and is fundamentally un-American ... it has earned a rebellion and it’s time we rebelled.”

I agree and that’s why I am enthusiastically now helping FairTax.org with pending legisla-tion to replace the income tax entirely with a fair, progressive and honest national consump-tion tax aptly called the FairTax. It ends all fed-eral taxes on income and earnings and replaces every penny now raised with a 23 percent tax on personal consumption at the point of fi nal retail sale.

In conducting research on the FairTax, I have become convinced of two things: the FairTax is the best way to create a new era of healthy American economic growth, and that my father would have been a strong proponent of the Fair-Tax as a tax reform/replacement model had it existed during his time in government.

Among many virtues, like the effect the FairTax will have on bringing trillions of private, job-producing investment dollars into our economy, the FairTax restores critically needed trans-parency to government spend-ing. Because the taxpayer sees the cost of government on every receipt, the relationship between personal earnings and govern-ment spending becomes crystal clear. This will inevitably lead to public pressure to restrain spend-

ing – and not a moment too soon.Workers take home paychecks free of federal

withholding and FICA taxes under the FairTax. This is a stimulus idea that we all need. Con-gressional corruption of the tax code disap-pears under the FairTax because there are no exemptions that can be expanded and sold for profi t and power by tax writing committees to the favored few. In essence, those who spend more pay higher taxes.

Instead of exemptions that can manipulated by Congress, the FairTax issues a monthly “prebate” check that covers the taxes we will pay on the necessities of life and which wipes out all federal taxes on spending up to the poverty level. In addition, hidden income-tax costs now embedded in the price of products we pay will also be eliminated and brought into the bright light of public scrutiny.

When you consider that fat cats, illegal im-migrants and the underground economy all become part of the tax base, as consumers, it is easy to see that we can all pay less of a share for government. It’s just a better, more honest and simple way to collect federal taxes, and one that makes April 15 just another spring day.

It’s time for the second American tax revolt, and that’s why I am helping lead the FairTax national movement and encouraging everyone to join the cause by visiting www.fairtax.org.

P hilosophically, we’re for less rath-er than more government control.

When it comes to ridding neigh-borhoods of deteriorating and dilapidat-ed structures, we believe it is necessary for government to step in, especially if property owners won’t bring them up to code, and have them demolished.

That’s why we applaud High Point City Council for adopting ordinances recently to demolish four houses that have been deemed substandard based on numerous code violations. In addi-tion, a fi fth dwelling (1150-B Roberts Lane) for which inspectors found unsafe equipment was not repaired by owners, was ordered to be vacated and closed. Because of deteriorating conditions and associated blight on the neighborhoods, demolition was ordered for properties at 1112 E. Russell Ave., 525 Walnut St., 1807 Johnson St. and 1306 Vernon Place.

The High Point Enterprise has pro-vided information over the years that explains that taking such action can be a long and involved process. We’re pleased to see that the city hasn’t al-lowed that to be an excuse not to take corrective action and is moving forward with demolition of deteriorating struc-tures. We certainly hope such vigilance and corrective action continues.

Other people who own and/or reside in properties that are cared for properly in such neighborhoods deserve to have action taken to rid the area of blight.

COMMENTARY

I want to be a geek. I mean right now, most everywhere, geeks

are looked at as outcasts, the undesired rejects of society. But in a few years, every brat litter-ing their high school today, who spends their four major school years traumatizing the less popular breed of people cluttering the halls, will wish they’d been defi ned as a “geek.”

At this time, being called a geek is an insult, but as time wanders on, the term becomes less and less insulting. In the long run, geeks will be raking in the big bucks, while the same narrow-minded jerks that laughed at them in school will be mastering the phrase, “Would you like fries with that?”

The very things that seem to make these people “cool” are their partying ways and blasé attitude to any and all things involving school work; so wouldn’t mediocre jobs and a medium wage salary be the most expected outcome? How can drinking underage and harassing innocent kids broaden your

scholastic horizons?

The majority of the bullies are jocks who as-sume they will go places with football and/or basketball. But the cold, hard

truth is only a very slim percentage of the people who aspire to go pro actually make it. And when you fail to have a backup plan, where does that land you? Working at a fast-food restaurant for the rest of your life, the only goal you have left achieving a manger position? Though this wouldn’t stop some from having a fulfi lling life, it will defi nitely fall short

when your previous objective was to play a sport that you loved professionally.

Webster’s Diction-ary defi nes a geek as a “person who has chosen concentration rather than conformity; one who pursues skill (especially technical skill) and imagination, not mainstream social acceptance.” Well, those who work with comput-ers and such are in high demand, especially in this rapidly transform-ing day and age. It would be incomparably blissful to not care about being accepted and care only about being yourself! Kids can be cruel and spiteful, and not just in school, but life in general would be so much easier if we we’re capable of simply not caring.

Four years of being

perceived as an outsider to the “normal” slack-ing student body seems well worth the trade-off. Having fun and blowing off your studies might be what makes you intrigu-ing to others in high school, but later in life being capable of carry-ing on an intellectual conversation and hold-ing down a job is of way more importance.

So yes, I want to be a geek, and I want to be able to genuinely not care about the nasty things people might say about me. Maybe one day, hopefully sooner rather than later, I will hear someone whisper the word “geek” with my name laced into the sentence.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is pressing to extend unemployment benefi ts and health in-surance subsidies for the jobless through December as he and Republicans try to clear leftover Senate business.

Reid also hopes to keep helping cash-strapped states with their Medicaid budgets, he said Tuesday on the Senate fl oor. Taken together, these proposals would cost in the range of $100 billion.

The Nevada Democrat is in talks with GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Ken-

tucky over what to include in catchalllegislation to help the long-term un-employed, extend several expired taxbreaks and prevent doctors from suf-fering a big cut in their Medicare reim-bursements.

The measure would cost more thanthe jobs bill the Senate was expected toapprove on Tuesday. It mostly clears upbusiness left unfi nished because of lastyear’s health care debate.

There is nothing new in the emergingmeasure to spur job growth.

Cheney was feeling fi ne on Tuesday and likely to be sent home from a Wash-ington hospital within a day or two, aides aid. He experienced chest pain on

JAMESTOWN – Educators from across Guilford County will hold a summit March 10 at Guilford Technical Com-munity College to discuss ways to prepare high school students for college.

The day long session will be held at Koury Hospitality Careers Center. Educators from the pre-school level to 12th grade and from two-year and four-year colleges and universities are expected to participate.

Scheduled featured speak-ers include Erskine B. Bowles, outgoing president of the University of North Car-olina System and recent ap-pointee by President Barack Obama to be co-chairman of the new National Commis-sion on Fiscal Responsibil-ity and Reform. Bowles was White House chief of staff for former President Bill Clin-ton.

Bowles will be the after-noon keynote speaker at 1 p.m.

Also participating in the summit will be representa-tives of Guilford County Schools, Guilford Educa-tional Alliance, North Caro-lina Agricultural &Techni-cal State College, Greensboro College, Guilford College, Bennett College and the Uni-versity of North Carolina at Greensboro.

GTCC President Don Cam-eron said “being ready for college” means a student has prepared to have a good edu-cational experience.

“GTCC can more effi ciently train students for the work-force who enter the college with the expected competen-cies,” Cameron said. “Non-credit developmental cours-es, which many students are required to take, slow their preparation for the work-force and often contribute to their disillusionment with our educational process.”

The summit will focus on academic advising, fi nancial aid literacy, social and psy-chological competence and successful study skills.

John Roueche, director of the community college lead-ership program at the Uni-versity of Texas at Austin, will be the morning keynote speaker at 8:30 a.m. Roueche is considered a top expert on community colleges.

“We all have the same charge – preparing our young people to be globally compet-itive. That is a huge respon-sibility and we will only be successful through our con-certed collaboration,” said Barbara Zwadyk, chief cur-riculum and organizational development for Guilford County Schools.

The event is open to busi-ness leaders as well as educa-tors.

“Concerned citizens and parents also are encouraged to attend,” said Jacqueline Greenlee, GTCC director of organizational development.

HIGH POINT – Bring it home, High Point.

That’s the marketing slogan that the High Point Convention and Visitor’s Bureau fi rst intro-duced to the public in 1993 in hopes of soliciting leads to trade shows and conventions that could be brought to the city and boost its tourism industry.

It’s the same message that was reiterated Monday morning at a press conference where the Bring It Home, High Point cam-paign was re-launched.

New marketing tools for the campaign were displayed at the event, including a mail-in card that was distributed through The High Point Enterprise. Readers can fi ll out the card with information about conven-tions and trade shows they may have attended in other places and mail the card to the CVB.

When the staff receives the card, they make contact with the event’s organizers and ex-plain why High Point may be a

good a location for their show.Jim Morgan, chairman of the

CVB board, said anyone could contribute to the campaign be-cause it only required an idea.

“As you go out into your dif-ferent organizations, think

about who you can be bringing to High Point,” he said at the press conference. “All you need is the great idea. The CVB staff will do the rest of the work.”

Nancy Bowman, CVB market-ing and communications, said the campaign was designed to get the community involved in improving the local tourism in-dustry.

“Have you heard the say-ing, ‘It takes a village to raise a child?’ ” Bowman said. “That’s how I feel about Bring It Home, High Point. It isn’t just me who can make this happen or the CVB. It’s everyone in the com-munity.”

The CVB’s annual meet-ing was held after the press conference where its Presi-dent’s Award was present-ed.

This year’s recipient was the High Point Museum for its “High Point’s Furniture Heri-tage” exhibit.

Charlotte Young, CVB presi-dent, said the award is given to a hospitality industry part-ner that is not a hotel or motel but is “responsible for generat-ing signifi cant tourism activity through the recipient’s own ini-tiatives.”

The permanent exhibit ex-amines the history of the rela-tionship between the furniture industry and the people of High Point.

HIGH POINT – Authorities on Tuesday said an elderly High Point woman missing for near-ly two weeks was found alive and well.

Ruby Elizabeth O’Connor, 82, was located in Greensboro on Tuesday morning, accord-ing to High Point police.

She had been missing since Feb. 11, when High Point police offi cers responded to 200 Oak St. at 3:45 p.m. and were told by her daughter that O’Connor had gone missing that morn-ing.

The North Carolina Center for Missing Persons issued a Silver Alert for O’Connor on Monday night but canceled it Tuesday morning once she was

located. She also was removed from a national database that contains information about missing persons.

Further information about her condition, her where-abouts since her disappear-ance or the circumstances of how she was located was not released.

O’Connor left her home about 9:45 a.m. on Feb. 11. A cab picked her up at the Wachovia bank branch on N. Main Street around 10:40 a.m. and drove her to the bus depot in Greens-boro, according to police. She was reportedly last seen there, and her whereabouts after that were apparently unknown un-til this week.

Investigators said foul play was not suspected in her disap-pearance. O’Connor has wan-

dered away from the residence in the past and “has limited capabilities to manage on her own,” police said.

In addition, police said it was possible O’Connor could be evasive about her identity and could attempt to avoid au-thorities. She was believed to have a North Carolina Iden-tification Card in her pos-session at the time she went missing.

Silver Alerts, which notify law enforcement agencies and media outlets about a miss-ing individual, generally are issued for older residents thought to be suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, dementia or some other type of cognitive impairment.

RALEIGH (AP) – Pat McCrory’s gubernatorial campaign failed to report two helicopter fl ights val-ued at $3,300 taken in the waning days of his unsuc-cessful bid.

The manager for Mc-Crory’s campaign said Tuesday the October 2008 fl ights were uncovered as the State Board of Elec-tions wrote candidates for governor since 2004 ask-ing for more information about their air travel.

Manager Jack Hawke

said the campaign fi led an amended report dated last week to report the fl ight ex-penses. He said one fl ight invoice never reached the campaign. There was never an invoice issued for the second fl ight.

State Democratic Party executive direc-tor Andrew Whalen said McCrory’s refi ling raises more questions beyond al-legations he discussed at a news conference earlier Tuesday focusing on one of the fl ights.

‘In vino veritas’ revealspainful truth of marriage

D ear Abby: The other day I asked my husband a ques-

tion and told him to be honest. If given a choice between giving up wine or giving up sex with me, which would he choose?

You guessed it. He said, “Giving up sex with you.” I think I knew the answer before I asked the ques-tion, but hearing it out loud devastated me.

I know every woman wants to be No. 1 in her husband’s life. Am I wrong to feel so heartbro-ken? – Lost The Battle To Chardonnay

Dear Lost The Battle: Not at all, particularly if you prefer sex to a full-bodied Cabernet. But now it’s time for a follow-up question: “Why?” If sex with you is less interest-ing to your mate than his vino, he may have an alcohol problem. Or the problem may lie in your bedroom.

One thing is certain: When you asked your question, you “uncorked” the fact that there’s a serious problem in your marriage. And now you have an opportunity to do something about it.

Dear Abby: My wife is

constantly passing gas. She does not care where she is or who is around. I have worked in the truck-ing industry for almost 30 years and never ran across anyone as fl atulent

as she is.She is

young and attractive, but there is noth-ing less appealing than feeling “frisky,” getting into bed and hearing the trumpet

sounds. I have recom-mended she see a doctor, but she laughs it off and says, “Everyone does it.”

I can’t believe I’m the only one with this problem. I could really use some “sound” advice, Abby. – Blown Away in Alliance, Ohio

Dear Blown Away: Everyone may do “it,” but perhaps not to the extent that your wife does. There are over-the-counter products that can lessen the problem, which may be related to her diet. However, if her fl atu-lence persists, then I’m recommending you not let your wife “laugh off” the idea of consulting a physician, because her problem could be a symptom of something that needs to be checked out – and that’s no joke.

Dear Abby: Our drive-

way is directly across from our neighbor’s dining room window. The only curtain open in

their entire house is this one. Since they always sit at this window, they can observe who pulls in and out, what groceries are brought in and how many times we leave.

They make comments like, “I see you had pizza last night,” or, “What did you buy at ‘Such and Such’ store?” This has caused a strain on our relationship with them.

I know they have a right to open whatever curtains they want in their own house, but what about the invasion of our privacy? – Peeved By The Peepers, John-stown, Pa.

Dear Peeved: Appar-ently what’s going on in your driveway is better than what’s on television. Because you can’t change your neighbors, you’re going to have to fi nd the humor in this situation and change the way you react. They may be trying to make conversation be-cause there’s nothing else going on in their lives. And their curiosity might turn out to be a blessing one day if someone tries to enter your home in your absence.

ARCHDALE – Promoting the city of Archdale and reviewing a proposed mini-mum housing ordinance are among several topics the Archdale City Council will tackle during its two-day retreat this week at the Colonial Country Club in Thomasville.

The retreat will begin Thursday night with dis-cussion on promoting the City Council’s vision for Archdale – a topic that re-turns from last year’s re-treat.

The purpose of the dis-cussion will be for council members to share ideas and brainstorm to create ways for Archdale to “brand” itself, market qualities the city has to offer and tar-get companies that would be attracted to the city’s strengths.

City officials say Archdale has plenty of amenities to of-fer, including a low tax rate, a governing body dedicated to positive growth, access to two major interstates and a highway, and quality resi-dential housing with room for expansion.

The City Council is ex-pected to discuss options of attracting industry, such as the city focusing more in-house efforts or work more closely with the Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Com-merce. Another option for the City Council would be hiring a marketing firm to create a promotional cam-paign. On Friday, the coun-cil will review a minimum housing ordinance after two years of discussion and study over the issue. The council began discussing minimum housing at its retreat two years ago when members ex-pressed concern about some of the aging housing units

in the city. A housing condi-tion study conducted by citystaff revealed that there aresome houses within the citythat are in substandard ordilapidated conditions.

Under a proposed ordi-nance, staff will have theability to require homes tomeet certain minimum re-quirements for living condi-tions and require propertyowners to repair or demol-ish homes that do not meetthe requirements of the or-dinance.

There are 10 substan-dard conditions outlinedwithin the ordinance thatwould immediately qualifythe dwelling as “unfi t forhuman habitation,” suchas interior walls that areseverely leaning, fl oorsor roofs unable to supportloads, fi re damage, andlack of proper electrical orplumbing facilities.

WINSTON-SALEM – The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners voted 4-3 Monday night to appeal a federal judge’s decision to ban sectarian prayer be-fore board meetings.

As expected, board chairman Dave Plyler was the swing vote in a divide that went along party lines. Plyler and fellow Republican Debra Conrad, Richard Lin-ville and Gloria Whisen-hunt voted to appeal the prayer case to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Opposing them were

Democrats Beaufort Bai-ley, Ted Kaplan and Wal-ter Marshall.

Plyler’s vote, at ques-tion to the last day, hinged on support that a group of citizens has pledged to defend the county’s prayer effort. That group, the N.C. Partnership for Religious Liberty, committed $300,000 over the weekend, counting $55,000 raised earlier.

Plyler had said that he would support an appeal only if citizens promised to make sure it wouldn’t cost the county any mon-ey to do so. The leader of that group, the Rev. Steve Corts, said over the

weekend that $300,000was enough to at leastbring the appeal throughthe court of appeals.

A conservative Chris-tian legal group, the Alli-ance Defense Fund, haspaid all the county’s legalcosts and had promisedto pay for the county’s ap-peal, even as far as to theU.S. Supreme Court. Butthe ADF would not pay theACLU’s legal expenses inthe event of a county loss.

Citizens upset overreferences to Jesus inprayers sued the countyin 2007 with the help ofthe ACLU and AmericanUnited for Separation ofChurch and State.

GIVING 101: Give wisely; don’t be an enabler. TOMORROW

W hen Rick Eaton was 18 years old, he knew what he

wanted to be. He wanted to be a college graduate.

So after high school graduation, he attended Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania on a par-tial football scholarship.

“I went because it was the thing to do, the next logical step. But I had no

passion for learn-ing and no understand-ing of what college was all about,” Eaton said.

One day, he heard music that changed his life. A guy down the hall in his dorm intro-duced Eaton

to jazz, fusion and virtuoso players. Eaton suddenly found his new major inter-est. He was determined to learn to play the guitar.

“Playing the guitar was something I liked to work at. It showed me what I could do. After that, all I wanted to do at college was practice my guitar,” Eaton said.

Eaton fl unked out of college, but he now knew he wanted to study music. At 25, Eaton moved to Richmond and completed a year in music studies at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Next, Eaton and his bride, Leslie Hopkins, moved to Winston-Salem. Eaton was accepted into the music program at the University of North Caro-lina at Greensboro, want-ing to be a middle-school chorus teacher.

Once again, Eaton found himself with little under-standing of the realities of his choice.

“Because music is an elective course, I envi-sioned that my class would be full of kids who were highly motivated to make music and progress,” Eaton said. “But when I did my student teaching under Tom Shelton, and he’s the best, I realized that half the kids didn’t want to be there. They were only there because they thought it was an easy class or because their friends were in the class.”

So at age 30, in 1995, Ea-ton was a college graduate, but he had yet to fi gure out how to keep music central in his life.

In 1998 he teamed with Ann and Gary Rogers to open The Band Company in Kernersville. Rogers repairs instrument while Eaton meets with school band directors and offers service for their program.

In 2001, Eaton’s life fi nally came into harmony. Ben Rhodes, a respected band director, invited Eaton to join his jazz band, Sunset Fourtet.

Holding no illusion that he can quit his day job, Ea-ton, a father of three, fi nds that playing in a group balances his life.

“As life piles up on you,” Eaton said, “just one good rehearsal can blow it all away.”

Heart is only one cause of chest pain

D ear Dr. Donohue: I often have this strange chest pain.

It’s usually on the left side. I feel my heart beat-ing pretty fast at times, but it speeds up and slows down. Sometimes the pain is severe, but most of the time it is just an-noying. I thought it might be poor blood circulation, anxiety or heart disease. When I go to the hospital, they check my heart and blood pressure, and they are normal. I exercise regularly and eat healthy. I am a 25-year-old male. Can you suggest any-thing? – A.J.

Chest pain puts doc-tors and patients on high alert. The doctor doesn’t want to overreact and make a well person feel he is sick, and he doesn’t want to underreact and have a dead patient. Heart conditions are the most dangerous cause of chest pain. You are quite young, and heart disease doesn’t usually strike at your age. Insuffi cient blood getting to the heart causes angina pain – pain that comes on with exertion and leaves with rest. This doesn’t sound like your pain. A heart attack doesn’t happen the way you describe your pain, either. I don’t know what the speed-up and slow-down of your heart means. When you went to the hospital, was an EKG taken? That would provide valuable infor-mation.

Other serious conditions causing heart pain are things like blood clots that have trav-eled to the lungs. Again, what you describe

isn’t typical of pulmonary embolus – clots to the lung.

If movement of the chest brings on the pain or makes it worse, it could be musculoskeletal pain – pain originating from the chest muscles or from the ribs or back-bones. This kind of pain almost always subsides on its own.

I can’t be of much help to you. You have to establish yourself with a doctor who can follow you and can order tests to pinpoint the cause of your pain.

You mention anxiety. That’s another cause of chest pain. Are you under a great deal of stress right now?

Dear Dr. Donohue: I am a 49-year-old, single male. I have many medi-cal problems, including Paget’s disease. In the past few years, I have been diagnosed with es-sential tremor. Why isn’t Inderal being marketed anymore? I tried pro-pranolol, but my stomach couldn’t handle it. Can

you suggest anything over the counter? – T.H.

Essential tremor, also called familial tremor, is the kind of shaking handsthat make it diffi cult to bring a spoonful of soup to the mouth, write legibly or do any kind of meticulous work with thehands. Observers mis-takenly infer that the af-fected person is nervous. That’s not the case.

Inderal is no longer being made, I suppose because it’s not profi t-able to produce it with so many other less-expensivegeneric equivalents to Inderal on the market. The generic equivalent is propranolol. Perhaps the manufacturer of the propranolol you took has some ingredient in the drug that upsets your stomach. There are other manufacturers, and their fi ller ingredients differ. You might be able to toler-ate one of those products. I don’t know of an over-the-counter medicine that can still the shakiness of essential tremor. Caffeine and other stimulants make it worse. Primidone (Mysoline) is a prescrip-tion medicine that does a good job of controlling essential tremor. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual let-ters, 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

SOMERVILLE, N.J. (AP) – Former NBA star Jayson Williams was sentenced to fi ve years in prison on Tuesday for fatally shooting a hired limo driver in 2002, end-ing an eight-year legal odyssey by tearfully apol-ogizing to the victim’s family.

He will be eligible for parole in 18 months.

Williams, avoiding a retrial on a reckless man-slaughter count that dead-locked the jury at his 2004 trial, pleaded guilty last

month to aggravated as-sault in the death of Cos-tas Christofi on Feb. 14,2002.

At the same 2004 trial,he was acquitted of aggra-vated manslaughter butconvicted on four countsof covering up the shoot-ing.

Uncooked, are they worth the risk?BY JIM ROMANOFF

FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

P eanut butter recalls. Spinach scares. Contaminated meat.

Is it any wonder Americans are jittery about their food? So much so that when The Associated Press recently ran a recipe for tra-ditional spaghetti carbonara – complete with its only barely cooked egg – e-mails poured in.

Had we forgotten the step in the recipe about cooking the egg?

No. But it did make us wonder. With so many traditional recipes calling for uncooked egg – mayonnaise, Caesar salad, eggnog, car-bonara, never mind the simple joy of dunking toast in soft-boiled eggs – what can we safely do with raw eggs?

Simply put, raw eggs can carry salmonella, bacteria that can cause serious food poisoning, even death. But to be fair, any raw food can be contaminated. After all, salmonella is what triggered the massive peanut butter recall last year.

The Food and Drug Administration is pretty clear on the matter, telling people eggs should be fully cooked until both the yolks and the whites are fi rm. They tell people not to eat or even taste any foods that may contain raw or undercooked eggs.

Of course the risks are highest among the very young, the very elderly, and people who are pregnant or have a compromised immune system, says Catherine Donnelly, a professor and expert on the microbiology of food safety at the University of Vermont. Healthy adults may get sick from salmonella, but Donnelly says they are unlikely to die.

Still, not dying is a pretty low bar to set for dinner. Is it worth it?

Charles Reeves, chef and owner of Penny Cluse Cafe, a restaurant in Burlington, Vt., known for its from-scratch breakfasts and lunches, certainly thinks so.

“You can’t own a restaurant and call your-self a chef if you’re using mayonnaise out of a bottle,” he says. “It’s just too easy to make it better yourself.”

Though his customers’ safety is a primary concern, Reeves doesn’t think twice about us-ing raw eggs, including serving them over easy and sunny side up.

“You just always have to use absolutely fresh eggs that come from a reputable source,” he says.

But Todd Pritchard, a food scientist at the University of Vermont, says farm-fresh doesn’t necessarily mean bacteria-free.

“Bacteria are blind,” he says. “They don’t see whether the eggs come from a local farmer or are free-range or organic.”

Much depends on how the eggs and chick-ens have been handled, says Pritchard. An unhealthy chicken can have salmonella in its reproductive tract and the bacteria can end up on the shell or even inside the egg.

Luckily, says Donnelly, the egg industry got serious during the ’90s about salmonella.

Working closely with federal agriculture offi cials, major egg producers removed salmonella-infected hens from the laying population. Meanwhile, probiotics (healthy bacteria) were added to the feed to help make chickens more resistant to salmo-nella.

Still, Pritchard says an egg also can be contaminated by an external source in the barnyard or during the handling and shipping, including during storage or preparation at a restaurant.

That’s part of the reason California and New Jersey during the ’90s banned raw and under-cooked eggs from restaurants.

But all of the focus on food service frustrates Nancy Oakes, a James Beard award-winning chef and owner of San Francisco’s Boulevard Restaurant. She calls the raw egg a “simply magical food.”

At Boulevard, Oakes creates aiolis with raw egg yolk, and accompanies her Caesar salad with a soft-cooked egg on the side. She says safety efforts focus too much on the kitchen,

The truth RAWEGGSabout

and not enough on the farms where the eggs are produced.

“It just seems that (the regulators) spend their entire lives trying to make safety happen in the frying pan rather than at the farm gate or in the transportation systems where a lot of the problems originate,” she said.

And chefs like Gabrielle Hamilton, owner of Prune restaurant in New York, has no problem with raw and undercooked eggs as long as cus-tomers are aware of what they are ordering.

“I use them like crazy, for breakfast, lunch and dinner,” said Hamilton, who added that raw or runny yolks are indispensable for add-ing richness, as well as for balancing out spicy or acidic foods.

According to the American Egg Board, the risk of an egg being contaminated with salmo-nella is only around 1 in 20,000. At this rate, an average consumer would encounter a contami-nated egg once in 84 years.

Pritchard says that for an individual, assess-ing the risks of consuming raw eggs isn’t so

cut and dry. While it’s true that the likelihood of being sickened by an egg is low, it doesn’t matter, he points out, if you’re the one who gets sick.

“It really all depends,” says Pritchard, “on the immune status of the individual and the source of the egg.”

So what’s an egg eater to do?For adult home cooks in good health, the

minute risk of being sickened may be worth the joy of soft-boiled eggs or homemade mayo. Ditto when dining out.

Still not so sure? Pasteurized egg products are available. Whites are common, but yolks are hard to fi nd. But there’s a catch. Many of these products are made mostly from egg whites, which don’t emulsify or thicken well, so they won’t work well in most dishes that call for raw whole eggs or egg yolks.

There are pasteurized whole eggs that are heated in the shell in a low-heat water bath that neutralizes bacteria, but stops short of cooking the egg, but these can be hard to fi nd.

Penny Cluse Cafe House MayonnaiseBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Charles Reeves, chef and owner of Penny Cluse Cafe in Burlington, Vt., uses this mayonnaise on sandwiches. He also uses raw eggs in the base for sauces and dressings. To turn this recipe into an aioli, stir in 1/2 cup of minced roasted garlic.

Start to fi nish: 5 minutesMakes 3 cups

6 tablespoons lemon juice1 large egg

1 large egg yolk1 tablespoon Dijon mustard1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper2 1/2 cups canola oil

In a food processor or blender, combine the lemon juice, whole egg, egg yolk, mustard, salt and white pepper. Process until blended, about 10 seconds.

With the processor or blender running, slowly drizzle in the canola oil and process until emulsifi ed, about 45 seconds. Refrigerate in a covered container for up to 5 days.

AP

While many food experts maintain that eggs need to be fully cooked to be safe, professional chefs and home cooks safely use raw eggs as ingredients in a variety of recipes daily.

Yesterday’s Puzzle SolvedWednesday, Feb. 24, 2010CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Billy

Zane, 44; Eddie Murray, 54; Helen Shaver, 59; Ed-ward James Olmos, 63

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Make your home your fo-cus this year. Money can be made if you invest in long-term projects. Your current relationship will experience many changes but the end result will be favorable. Social networking will help you dis-cover new activities and friendships. Make clear what you want personally and professionally. Your numbers are 5, 8, 17, 21, 26, 35, 43

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will face bar-riers trying to get others to see and do things to your specifi cations. Don’t waste time trying to get others to pitch in and help. Instead, do what you want rapidly and effi ciently so that no one can question your motives. ★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t be afraid to push your weight around, especially if there is a cause or concern you care about and want to get involved in. Your ability to persuade others to see the need for reform and change could lead to pres-tige and fi nancial gain. ★★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Concentrate on the positive changes you can make and on your pro-fessional position. A chance to alter your career choice or get involved in something that really in-terests you is apparent – if you don’t allow some-one to stand in your way. ★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A love connec-tion is looking good. Spend time with that special person or attend a function where you can meet someone new and exciting. Mixing business with pleasure will meet with approval both personally and professionally. ★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Check out the possibil-ity of turning one of your investments into some-thing more substantial. Buying and selling prop-erty or making a move that will allow you greater freedom or professional choices should be consid-ered. A change of scenery will do you good. ★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take advantage of everything and anything being offered. Opportu-nities are abundant if you investigate what’s go-ing on around you. Talks will lead to progress and being honest about your needs will help you get what you want. ★★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may want to neglect your responsibilities or someone who is depending on you but, consider the consequences. It’s vital that you take charge and care of the peo-ple and things that can mess up your game plan in the future. ★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Travel, attend an exhibit or join a group that interests you and you will fi nd opportunities to further your personal and professional goals. Get out, network, promote and present what you have to offer and the results you get will be overwhelming. ★★★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be careful how you handle your money and your professional affairs. Personal setbacks at home will cause you to lose ground emotionally and hurt your reputa-tion. Do not make any hasty moves without doing your homework. ★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Go the extra mile and impress someone you care about or want to get to know better. A blast from your past will be entertaining. A career change with an unusual twist will bring you closer to a life long goal. ★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Giving false hope or pretenses will not go over well when you don’t follow through. Focus on the people in your life whom you love. Be honest about your habits and the things that need changing. ★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Self-evaluation will do you some good. The ideas you have that will enable you to utilize your skills more will help you advance personally and professionally. It’s never too late to start something new or to resurrect an old goal. ★★★★★

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid confl icts; 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.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Cy the Cynic was dat-ing a girl who insisted he escort her to the ballet.

“How was it?” I asked.“Didn’t enjoy it,” Cy

said. “I couldn’t even tell who won.”

There was no doubt about who won in today’s deal. Cy was declarer at 6NT. He took the ace of di-amonds, led a club to the king and let the ten ride. West produced the queen and shifted to a spade, putting the Cynic to an awkward guess. Cy had 11 tricks and could get one more if the spade fi nesse won, if hearts broke 3-3 or if there was a squeeze. He fi nessed in spades -- and went down.

How would you play 6NT?

ALL CHANCESCy can arrange to try

all his chances. He could fi nesse in spades at the second trick. If the fi nesse lost and East returned a diamond, Cy could cash his spade tricks and test the hearts. If the hearts didn’t break, he could try to fi nd the queen of clubs.

Cy could also fi nesse in clubs through West at Trick Two. If that fi nesse lost, Cy could later test the hearts and then fi nesse in spades if necessary.

DAILY QUESTIONYou hold: S 10 8 H K 6 5

2 D A Q C A J 9 8 4. The dealer, at your left, opens one diamond. Your part-ner doubles, and the next player passes. What do you say?

ANSWER: Partner promises opening val-ues or more with sup-port for the unbid suits, hence you must commit to game. One option is to cue-bid two diamonds to create a forcing auction and ask partner to bid a suit. Since I’d rather be declarer to protect the A-Q of diamonds, I’d simply jump to 3NT.

February 24, 1955- March 5, 2008HAPPY BIRTHDAY

If we had known Tuesday night wouldbe your last, We would have lingered longer,

held you closer and tighter.

We would have reminisced about the past,made plans for the future,

That’s were hope and faith come in.

We would have memorized every line inyour face, filled our nostrils with your scent,

Remembered every word you uttered. If only wehad known Tuesday night would be your last.

We would have held your hand, caressedyour face to remember you spirit,to feel the warmth of your body.

We would have watched your heartbeat In your chest, Assuring ourselves

that you were still here.

If a sister’s love could have saved you,You would be here today. But God’s love could

free you from pain so He quietly let you slip away.

We love you and Miss youCari

Julius Peppers grew up in North Carolina, starred in college in the state and made fi ve Pro Bowls in eight years with the Carolina Panthers.

Now, Peppers is almost certainly leaving home. General manager Marty Hurney an-nounced Tuesday the Panthers won’t place the restrictive franchise tag on the team’s career sacks leader. The 30-year-old Pep-pers will become an unrestricted free agent.

THEY’RE SORRY: Toyota apologizes for safety issues. 5D

T onight’s Florida State at North Caro-lina men’s basketball game features a team seeking its 20th win of the season

against a squad desperately trying to avoid falling to .500 overall and 3-10 in ACC play.

That doesn’t sound strange – until you realize the Seminoles sport the 19-7 overall record and 7-5 conference mark, while the Tar Heels are fl oundering at 14-13 overall and 3-9 in the conference.

Those circumstances are downright stun-ning.

Consider these facts. The Tar Heels have

posted only three losing seasons since join-ing the ACC in 1954. Carolina went 10-11 overall in 1955, 8-9 in ‘62 and 8-20 in 2002.

In ACC action, the Tar Heels own just four sub-.500 records: 5-6 in ‘54, 6-8 in ‘64, 4-12 in ‘02 and 6-10 in ‘03.

These are rarely charted waters in Chapel Hill.

As for the Seminoles, they rarely sail this high in the ACC waters this late in the season.

FSU joined the ACC prior to the 1992 season. During that time, the Seminoles

have managed only four winning records in conference play: 11-5 in ‘92, 12-4 in ‘93, 9-7 in ‘06 and 10-6 last season.

The Seminoles sport nine winning records overall in 18 ACC seasons. That will become 10 out of 19 when this season concludes.

This brief history refresher reminds us just how consistently strong the Tar Heels have been in the ACC. It also reveals how tough it can be for non-Big Four schools to gain a foothold in the ACC climb.

HIT AND RUN---

BY STEVE HANFENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

Heather Richardson proved to herself and the world that she belongs in the upper ech-elons of women’s speedskating.

Her three events over at the Vancouver Olympics, Richardson had no choice but to get back to work, making sure she stays there.

“It’s a little weird,” Richardson admitted by phone Tuesday between training sessions. “We’re still doing our regular thing because we still have two more World Cups this year. It’s something we have to do.”

Granted, it won’t be all business now for the 20-year-old High Point Central graduate. Having placed sixth in the 500 meters, ninth in the 1,000 and 16th in the 1,500 in the fi rst

week of the Games, she now hopes to take in a few sights in and around Vancouver as well as catch some of her fellow Olympi-ans in action.

The break – however brief – will be a welcome one. Team USA exits March 1, and the US Speedskating team will have all

of one day back home in Salt Lake City before traveling to the sixth and seventh World Cup competitions of the season.

On March 6-7, Richardson will race in Er-furt, Germany, then fl y over to Heerenveen, Netherlands, for a few training days and the World Cup fi nale.

The end of her whirlwind year comes March 18, when she’s expecting to return home and

be able to stay in High Point for a month.After that, it’s back to Salt Lake for a re-

sumption of training for the next World Cup season and prepping for bigger and better things at the 2014 Sochi Games in Russia.

If there was any question about Richard-son’s life getting less hectic than it was in qualifying for Vancouver, well – proving at your fi rst Olympics that you’ve got what it takes to bring home medals down the road has a way of redefi ning normal.

“I’m almost positive it’s going to be just as crazy,” Richardson said. “I now know I can do this, so I’m going to be training just as hard the next three years so I can be just as good for 2014 hopefully.”

Let the playoffs begin!Westchester Country Day School’s Davis Tucker battles Cary Christian’s Lindsey Johnson (24) and Christopher Thomas for possession during Tuesday’s N.C.

BY JASON QUEENSPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – For 28 minutes, Providence Day played dead even with Wesleyan Christian Academy in their NCISAA 3A playoff opener Tuesday in High Point.

The Trojans’ four-minute fl ourish to open the game made all the difference.

Wesleyan got 3-pointers from three dif-ferent players en route to an 11-0 lead, and the Trojans held off every charge for a 55-45 win. Wesleyan, the No. 8 seed, will face top seed Christ School at Greensboro Day School at 4 p.m. Thursday. Leek Leek paced the Trojans (19-12) with 13 points, and Will Coble and Deng Leek added 12 points apiece.

The fast start, with Coble, Mitch Purgas-on and Drew Crenshaw connecting from beyond the arc, was a welcome sight.

“It was big,” Wesleyan coach Keith Gatlin said. “We haven’t been hitting shots for the past month, so for the guys to make shots and open up the inside was really big for us.”

Providence Day fought back, and the Chargers’ 10-2 run in the second quarter trimmed Wesleyan’s lead to 21-16. But Leek Leek scored on a baseline drive, then nailed a 3 at the buzzer to give the Trojans a 26-16 cushion at the half.

The Chargers mounted several rallies in the second half, but they got no closer than seven the rest of the way. Center Deng Leek only tallied seven points, but he limited Providence Day’s offense by clogging up the middle and controlling the boards. “He can change the game,” Gatlin said. “If he stays big on defense, he can really make a difference.”

The Chargers fi nished 8-21. Point guard Connor Sullivan scored a game-high 16 points, and Kevin Hickson added 13, includ-ing two impressive two-handed dunks.

SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – The High Point University baseball team gave up seven runs in the fi nal two innings as the Panthers fell to Elon 8-3 on Tuesday at Wil-liard Stadium.

Junior Brian Jones made the start for HPU, pitching fi ve

scoreless innings. He didn’t fac-tor in to the decision. John Breb-bia earned the win for Elon and Mikel Rodenberg got the loss.

Rodenberg took the ball in the eighth inning with no outs and two runners on. He struck out the fi rst batter, but Alex Swim singled up the middle, scoring one run. Matt Hinson

came in to pinch hit for Elon and homered to give the Phoe-nix the 5-3 lead. Elon tacked on three runs in the ninth.

The Panthers (1-2) host Fair-leigh Dickinson this weekend for a three game series, begin-ning Friday at 4 p.m. Former Ledford star Murray White IV fi nished 2-for-4 for HPU.

Duke hires Lubick as assistant coach

DURHAM (AP) — Duke coach David Cut-cliffe has added Matt Lubick to his staff to fi ll a vacancy.

Lubick will serve as the Blue Devils’ receiv-ers coach, as well as its recruiting and pass-ing-game coordinator. Lubick had spent the past three seasons at Arizona State, where he was an assistant head coach.

Lubick replaces Scottie Montgomery, who left for a coaching job with the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers.

FOOTBALL---Eagles release West-

brook after 8 seasonsPHILADELPHIA (AP) — Brian Westbrook

was released Tuesday by the Philadelphia Eagles, ending an often-dynamic eight-year run that was marred by various injuries.

A former All-Pro, the 5-foot-10 Westbrook led the league in yards from scrimmage in 2007 with 2,104. He rushed for 1,333 yards and ac-counted for 12 touchdowns that season.

But he spent much of last season on the sidelines, missing eight games with a pair of concussions and an ankle injury. Westbrook had only two touchdowns in 2009.

He was due $7.25 million next season.LeSean McCoy, who rushed for 637 yards

with four touchdowns in 16 games as a rookie, will become Philadelphia’s No. 1 running back.

GENERAL---ESPN suspends Kornheiser for comments about Storm

BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) — ESPN has sus-pended host Tony Kornheiser from his televi-sion talk show “Pardon the Interruption” for two weeks for comments he made on the radio last week about SportsCenter anchor Hannah Storm’s clothing.

Kornheiser announced the suspension on his Washington D.C. radio show Tuesday morning, calling his remarks about Storm in-temperate and stupid.

“As the result of this, I have been sent to the sidelines of PTI for a while,” Kornheiser said.

ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz, while confi rming the suspension, declined to say when Kornheiser would be back on the show. He said the network would likely have a state-ment later Tuesday.

Kornheiser described an outfi t Storm was wearing at ESPN last week as “horrifying,” saying her shirt was too tight and looked “like she has sausage casing wrapping around her upper body.”

Kornheiser said he had called Storm to per-sonally apologize for the remarks.

“If you put a live microphone in front of somebody, eventually that person will say something wrong,” Kornheiser said on his show Tuesday. “This was one of the times I said something wrong.”

Titans stop Quakers for 9-3 baseball win


VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Bode Miller made the kind of mistake that happens in skiing, especially for a risk-tak-er like him.

The gaffe made by Dutch speedskater Sven Kramer? Unbelievable.

Kramer went through the grueling 10,000-meter race on a seeming record pace but was disqualifi ed for not switching lanes while coming out of a turn nearly two-thirds into the race.

Kramer went into the turn on the inside and was supposed to move to the outside lane for the next lap. He’d already moved over when Dutch coach Gerard Kemkers anima-tedly motioned for him to shift to the inside lane. Kramer seemed to hold off at fi rst, then gave in.

Kemkers buried his head in his hands when he realized what hap-pened. Kramer ended up skating the rest of the race in the same line as the other skater in his pair, but was so far ahead he couldn’t have known anything was amiss. The only hint was when Kramer saw his girlfriend in the stands and her head was buried in her hands.

Kramer crossed the line with a big smile, be-lieving he had another gold medal and Olympic record for his staggering list of feats: winner of the last three world cham-pionships at 5,000 and 10,000 meters; the world record-holder at both distances; and having already won gold and set an Olympic record in the 5,000 at this Olympics. Then Kemkers broke the news.

Kramer fl ung his glass-es, then stomped the heel of his blade into the ice. Just like that, Lee Seung-hoon of South Korea had the gold and Kramer moved into Olympic in-famy, like the U.S. shoot-er who blew a sure gold medal by shooting at the wrong target during the 2004 Athens Olympics.

Miller’s mistake wasn’t nearly as colossal.

All he did was lose con-trol and fail to fi nish his fi rst run down the giant slalom course, ending his chances for a record fourth Alpine medal at a single Winter Games.

It’s kind of fi tting for a guy who likes to go against the grain. His Vancouver results could be called a Bode Slam: a gold, a silver, a bronze and a DNF (did not fi n-ish).

Carlo Janka of Switzer-land won the event.

Americans took silver in the Nordic combined, making it 26 medals – breaking their record at a Winter Olympics not held in the United States. Germany is closing in with 22. Both have seven gold medals.

Also Tuesday, Cana-da’s Ashleigh McIvor won the debut of wom-en’s skicross and Russia won the women’s biath-lon relay by such a wide margin that the fi nal ski-er slowed to give high-fi ves to fans and to blow kisses. Austria won the Nordic combined relay.

Norway got silver in the skicross race, and it was the country’s 300th Winter Olympics medal, most of all countries. Norway became the fi rst to 100 golds last week.

GIANT SLALOMMiller almost crashed

during the top half of his run, got straightened out, but then couldn’t stay on line coming out of a gate in the second half.

“I’m taking more risk than everyone else,” Miller told The Associat-ed Press. “That’s partly why I’m able to get med-als. It looks easy when

you make it. When you crash like today, it’s like, ‘Oh, huh?’ ”

Miller has one race left, the slalom, and until Saturday to rest up for it. Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway got the bronze, joining Miller with three Alpine medals. American Ted Ligety fi nished ninth.

The women’s event is scheduled for today, but rain and snow is fore-cast. That will be Julia Mancuso’s fi nal event in Vancouver. Mancuso already has won two sil-ver medals. She won’t be competing in the slalom, her worst event.

SPEEDSKATINGLee lowered the Olym-

pic record by 0.37 sec-onds. Kramer likely would have lowered it even more, further com-pounding his mistake.

Kramer sat alone on a bench while the three medalists celebrated.

NORDIC COMBINEDJohnny Spillane be-

came the fi rst Ameri-can to win a medal in this event, getting silver earlier in these games. Now he’s got another – and sharing it with his friends.

The team of Spillane, Todd Lodwick, Billy Demong and Brett Cam-erota was a narrow sec-ond in the team relay event, which combined jumping off the large hill, then a 4-by-5 kilo-meter relay.

Demong had a slight edge over Austria’s Mario Stecher heading into the stadium but stumbled at the turn and watched the Austrian zoom past him on the straightaway.

BRIEFS---

WASHINGTON (AP) – The president of Toyota’s U.S. operations insisted Tuesday that electronic problems did not contrib-ute to sudden acceleration of its cars, drawing sharp criticism from lawmakers who said such a possibility should not be ruled out.

Toyota’s James Lentz repeated Toyota’s posi-tion that stuck gas pedals in some of the company’s most popular models were caused by one of two prob-lems – misplaced fl oor mats and sticking accel-erator pedals.

Meanwhile, Toyota Pres-ident Akio Toyoda, who will testify before a sepa-rate panel today, said he took “full responsibility”

for the uncertainty felt by Toyota owners and offered his condolences to a San Diego, Calif., family who were killed in late August, reigniting interest in the problems.

“I will do everything in my power to ensure that such a tragedy never hap-pens again,” Toyoda said in prepared testimony for Wednesday’s hearing to the House Government Oversight Committee. “My name is on every car. You have my personal commitment that Toyota will work vigorously and unceasingly to restore the trust of our customers,” Toyoda said.

Three congressional panels are investigating

Toyota’s problems. The hearings are important because Toyota has re-called more than 8 million vehicles worldwide – more than 6 million in the Unit-ed States – since last fall be-cause of sudden accelera-tion problems in multiple models and braking issues in the Prius hybrid. It is also investigating steer-ing concerns in Corollas. People with Toyotas have complained of their ve-hicles speeding out of con-trol in their efforts to slow down, sometimes resulting in deadly crashes. The gov-ernment has received com-plaints of 34 deaths linked to sudden acceleration of Toyota vehicles since 2000.

“We are confi dent that

no problems exist with the electric throttle control sys-tem in our vehicles,” Lentz said in prepared testimony to the House Energy and Commerce’s investigative subcommittee. Lentz cited “fail-safe mechanisms” in the cars were designed to shut off or reduce engine power “in the event of a system failure.”

But Rep. Henry Wax-man, D-Calif., chairman of the full Energy and Com-merce Committee, scoffed at Toyota’s insistence that electronics were not a pos-sible cause and said the company should have in-vestigated more thorough-ly. Waxman also took the government to task for not doing enough.

Toyota apologizes for safety issues

NEW YORK (AP) – Americans’ outlook on the economy went into relapse in February. Rising job worries sent a key barom-eter of confi dence to its lowest point in 10 months, raising concerns about the economic recovery.

The Conference Board said Tuesday its Consum-er Confi dence Index fell almost 11 points to 46 in February, down from a re-vised 56.5 in January. Ana-lysts were expecting only a slight decrease to 55. It was the lowest level since the index recorded a 40.8 read-ing in April 2009.

The increasing pessi-mism, which erased three months of improvement, is a big blow to hopes that consumer spending will power an economic recov-ery. Economists watch the confi dence numbers closely because consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity.

The February reading is a long way from what’s considered healthy: A reading above 90 means the economy is on solid footing. Above 100 signals strong growth.

While economists said

that heavy snowstorms in many areas of the country that shut down businesses dampened confi dence, many believe that the report confi rms that con-sumers aren’t feeling the nascent economic recov-ery.

“More than six months after the recovery started, consumer confi dence is still close to a record low,” said Paul Ashworth, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics Ltd. “Without a sustained acceleration in consumption growth, this recovery will eventually fade.”

Confi dence falls sharply

MIAMI (AP) – Home prices edged up in Decem-ber, the seventh straight monthly gain and anoth-er sign the housing mar-ket continues its bumpy recovery.

The trend is important to the nation’s econom-ic recovery. For most Americans, their home is their largest asset, so as values climb homeown-ers feel wealthier and more comfortable spend-ing. And, for homeown-ers who currently owe more on their mortgages than their properties are worth, rising prices will rebuild equity.

The Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index released Tuesday rose 0.3 percent from No-vember to December, to a seasonally adjusted reading of 145.87. The index was off about 3 percent from December last year, nearly match-ing analysts’ estimates.

The index is now up more than 3 percent from its bottom in May, but still 30 percent below its May 2006 peak.

Home sales data for January, out later this week, are also expected to show gains over year-

end levels as buyers took advantage of low interest rates and temporary tax credits.

Anna Piretti, an econo-mist at BNP Paribas, said the price increases are “further evidence that conditions in the house market continue to stabi-lize.”

“While conditions remain challenging in Florida, house price con-ditions appear to be im-proving in the Western states, with gains record-ed in California, Nevada and Arizona,” Piretti wrote in a research re-port.

Home prices rise slightly

Target profi t grows by 53.7 percent

NEW YORK – Lean inventory and stronger-than-expected holiday sales helped Target Corp.’s fourth-quarter profi t soar 53.7 percent, and the company said it expects to pick up mar-ket share this year as it rolls out a new store format that includes a bigger grocery section.

The nation’s second-largest discounter said Tuesday it earned $936 million, or $1.24 per share, in the quarter ended Jan. 30.

Home Depot enjoys strong quarter

NEW YORK – Cost cut-ting and stronger sales of paint, fl ooring and plumb-ing pushed Home Depot Inc. to a fi scal fourth-quarter profi t, the largest U.S. home-improvement retailer said Tuesday.

The improvements led Home Depot to boost its quarterly dividend for the fi rst time since 2006 and give a 2010 profi t forecast above analysts’ expectations.

Consumers cut back on home-improvement proj-ects during the recession and housing slump, but conditions have slowly started to improve, caus-ing more to take on big projects.

Oil drops below $80 a barrel

NEW YORK – Oil and other energy prices sank Tuesday after job worries sent a monthly measure-ment of consumer confi -dence sharply lower.

Benchmark crude for April delivery lost $1.58 at $78.73 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In London, Brent crude fell $1.32 at $77.29 on the ICE futures exchange.

Oil prices had been rising for more than two weeks as a steady drum-beat of reports suggested that manufacturing, home building and other pillars of the American economy were improving.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) – A cruise line says about 350 people are respond-ing well to medicine after getting sick on a cruise to the Caribbean that de-parted from South Carolina.

Celebrity Cruise spokeswoman Cyn-thia Martinez said Tuesday that 326 of the more than 1,800 passengers on the Celebrity Mercury began complaining Sunday of upset stomachs, vomiting and diarrhea.

Martinez says 27 of the nearly 850

crew members also reported symptoms.The ship left Charleston on Feb. 15.

Martinez says the crew is conduct-ing “enhanced cleaning” to prevent thespread of the illness.

An extra doctor and two nurses cameaboard in St. Kitts in the British VirginIslands and will sail to Charleston, ar-riving Friday.

It’s not clear what pathogen was in-volved, but samples were being droppedoff in Puerto Rico for testing.

350 sick ship passengers respond to treatment

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – California lawmak-ers on Tuesday said they were astonished by an attempt by Anthem Blue Cross to boost individual insurance premiums by as much as 39 percent at a time when policyhold-ers are struggling to af-ford health coverage.

The Assembly Health Committee opened a hearing intended to ex-amine the proposal by California’s largest for-

profi t health insurer.The increase is sched-

uled to take effect May 1 and would affect roughly 700,000 individual policy-holders in the state.

The hearing came amid a heated national debate over health care reform and one day before a con-gressional committee is scheduled to question Anthem’s parent compa-ny, WellPoint Inc.

“How are Californians supposed to afford health

NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market fell sharply Tuesday after a surprising drop in consumer confi -dence reminded investors of the fragility of the eco-nomic recovery.

The Dow Jones industri-als fell 100 points. Interest rates also fell in the bond market as investors moved money out of stocks and into the safety of Treasurys.

The Conference Board said its consumer confi -dence index fell to 46 in February from 56.5 last month. That was well be-low the forecast of econo-mists polled by Thomson Reuters. They expected a reading of 55.

Not only did the index fall sharply, it is far from

indicating strength in the economy. A reading above 90 means the economy is on solid footing. Consum-ers are vital to a strong, sustained economic recov-ery because their spending accounts for more than two-thirds of all economic activity.

The confi dence numbers came as investors were al-ready rethinking the more optimistic assessment they had of the economy last week. Stocks had rallied for four straight days on upbeat earnings news, including some from retailers, and on improving housing and manufacturing numbers.

That rally has ended this week in response to a growing pile of disap-

pointing consumer news, including retail earnings reports. While Home Depot Inc., Sears Holdings Corp., Macy’s Inc. and Target Corp. all reported better-than-expected earnings Tuesday, the companies indicated that sales growth is lagging. That’s a sign that consumers are still too hesitant about the economy and their own job security to spend freely.

The Dow fell 100.97, or 1 percent, to 10,292.41 after be-ing up around 19 before the consumer confi dence index was released. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index dropped 13.41, or 1.2 percent, to 1,094.60, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 28.59, or 1.3 percent, to 2,213.44.

Stocks retreat on consumer report

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Wall Street bonuses were up 17 percent to over $20 bil-lion in 2009, the year taxpay-ers bailed out the fi nancial sector after its meltdown, New York state Comptrol-ler Thomas DiNapoli said Tuesday.

Total compensation at the largest securities fi rms grew beyond that fi gure

and profi ts could surpass what he calls an unprece-dented $55 billion last year, DiNapoli said. That’s near-ly three times Wall Street’s record increase, a rate of growth that is boosted in part by the record losses in 2008 of nearly $43 billion, the Democrat said.

“Wall Street is vital to New York’s economy, and

the dollars generated by the industry help the state’s bottom line,” said DiNap-oli. “But for most Ameri-cans, these huge bonuses are a bitter pill and hard to comprehend. ... Taxpayers bailed them out, and now they’re back making mon-ey while many New York families are still struggling to make ends meet.”
