The sounds of wheels rolling around quarter-pipes, boards landing off hubbas and skateboarders dripping with sweat was the proof of the pudding that the city’s newest recreation facility, a skateboard park, was officially open Saturday morning. A ribbon-cutting was held Friday afternoon for the skateboarding plaza at Riverside Park, where construction recently was completed under the direction of the non- profit group Skate Mount Airy Inc., but the actual skateboarding didn’t begin until the opening ceremony was held at 10 a.m. yesterday. Will Jackson, who has been instrumental in getting the facility built and owner of local skateboard shop, Canvas, said everyone is proud of the park. “The main thing is that we are proud of it,” said Jack- son, who said he was asked on a daily basis by his customers when the park would be open.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — A year ago, Carl Edwards started 33rd in the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen International and finished third. This time he’ll start at the front. Edwards turned a lap of 124.432 mph in 70.882 seconds on Saturday to easily outdistance Jamie McMurray’s lap of 123.814 mph in 71.236 secs. It was just the fifth pole in 215 starts for Edwards, his first on a road course in Cup competition, and it was fast. Edwards was just a few ticks off Jeff Gordon’s 2003 track record of 124.58 mph in 70.7979 secs. “Unbelievable! I can’t tell you how much that helps our team,” Edwards said. “(Crew chief) Bob (Osborne) said P1. I thought he said 21. That’s a great lap. We’re just enjoying the wave we’re riding. We’re making a comeback.” And that should help team owner Jack Roush in his recovery from a plane crash 10 days ago. The 68-year-old Roush, who also received a boost last week with Greg Bif- fle’s win at Pocono, is at the Mayo Clinic and will remain there indefinitely to treat facial injuries. Edwards has put together four straight finishes of sev- enth or better, including a second at Chicagoland and a third a week ago at Pocono, to surge to 10th in the points standings with only five races remaining before the Chase for the Sprint Cup title. Only the top 12 drivers qualify for the Chase. “It feels good,” said Edwards, whose last pole was two CHRISTOPHER SIERS/HEARTLAND PUBLICATIONS years ago at Bristol. “You guys know how we’ve strug- Oshyn Bryant competes for the Reeves Rapids in the girls 7-8-year-old 25-yard breaststroke Saturday dur- gled.

Sunday, August 8, 2010 Yeatts retires after 41-year career as attorney

MEGHANN EVANS STAFF REPORTER

hese mornings instead of putting on Ta suit and tie, James “Jimmy” Yeatts III dons a golf polo and some khakis. He heads to the golf course, which is quite different from the office and courtrooms where Yeatts spent most of his days during the past few decades. On Aug. 1, Yeatts officially retired from his position as an assistant district attorney for District 17-B, serving Surry and Stokes counties. It marked the end of his 41-year career as an attorney. Already, Yeatts has said, “I do miss it. I miss the excitement of it, the drama of it.” He now lives in Mount Airy after spending almost three decades of his career as an attorney serving Sur- ry and Stokes. He began serving in this district in 1981, when he became an assistant district attorney. He continued on at that post until his retirement this month.

WASHINGTON — Higher monthly fees are coming for consumers who take out home loans guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration, the primary source of mortgages for first-time home- buyers. The Senate late Wednesday unanimously approved legislation giving the FHA the power to hike monthly premiums it charges to consumers. The measure now goes to President Barack Obama, who is expected to sign it. The new law would affect new loans and not ones that already have been made. Officials say the agency needs the authority to stabilize its fi- nances, which have deteriorated because of the foreclosure crisis. The fees are projected to bring in an extra $3.6 billion per year, according to the FHA. The agency does not make loans, but offers insurance against default. People who take out FHA- backed loans pay a smaller down payment, as low as 3.5 percent of the home price. But they are subject to two additional fees — one at the start of the loan and an annual fee. Both fees are typically spread out in monthly installments over the life of the loan. Borrowers who take out loans through FHA pay an annual fee of 0.55 percent of the total loan. FHA officials expect to raise that to 0.9 percent, though the bill would give them the power to hike it as high as 1.55 percent. Earlier this year, the FHA raised the upfront fee to 2.25 percent of the total mortgage amount from 1.75 percent. Agency officials want to lower that to 1 percent. The combined impact of lower- ing the upfront fee and raising the monthly fee would mean a borrow- er taking out a mortgage of $170,000 at an interest rate of 5 percent would pay an extra $38 a month. ——— Copyright 2010 The Associated Press.
