How much is your city manager being paid? How many disciplinary actions were taken at your child’s school this year? How much of this are you entitled to know, and how do you get the information? Today marks the beginning of Sunshine Week, where print, broadcast and online news media band together to focus on open records and open meetings laws and the public’s right to know and hold their government officials accountable. The national initiative aims to open a dialogue about the importance of open government and freedom of information.

The High Point Enterprise today begins a five-part series delving into issues dealing with open government, including current laws and examples of how those laws are applied today.

HIGH POINT – When it comes to gaining access to a public record in North Carolina, officials say individuals should look to the state’s open records laws.

The laws are the state equivalent of the Freedom of Information Act, which gives the public access to federal government records, said David Elliot, director of victims and citizens services at the N.C. Attorney General’s office in Raleigh. Thanks to open records laws, most public records in the state are available upon request.

“The only records that may not be available are those with a clear statutory exemption,” Elliot said. “OthSUNSHINE erwise, most docuWEEK 2010 ments and records created by state government are accesIt’s your right sible to the public.” to know Records that have ■■■ such an exemption may include certain personnel records from state government offices to protect the privacy of state employees, Elliot said. Certain attorney and client communication records, trial preparation materials, tax records or records containing an individual’s personal information, such as a Social Security number, also are closed to the public.

The law also does not require a state agency to create lists of records upon request, Elliot said. For example, a person may ask for a list of complaints made against a certain company. If no list exists, one is not required to be created, but the person seeking the information does have access to each individual complaint on record, he said.

Elliot advises those requesting a public record to do several things.

First, give an ample amount of time for that agency to produce the record. The open records laws requires records to be turned over in a “reasonable amount of time.” He said those requesting the records should write down the date the record was requested and the number of copies or pages requested.

“It depends on what is requested

“The only records that may not be available are those with a clear statutory exemption,” a N.C. Attorney General office spokesman said. when it comes to that ‘reasonable amount of time,’ ” he said. “For example, if someone asks for one sheet of paper versus 5,000, it’s going to take different amounts of time. It just depends on the type of request and if those documents are easy to locate.”

Rather than producing records, sometimes an agency will elect to have a person come into their office and view the records there.

This is a lawful alternative to producing copies, Elliot said.

In the event that a person requests a record he or she believes to be public but is denied access, Elliot said they should ask the agency about the basis of their

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS:

Open meetings law allows some private gatherings

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Only in specific situations does state law permit public bodies to meet in closed session, out of sight and hearing of the general public.

North Carolina law allows public bodies to meet behind closed doors to prevent the disclosure of information that is confidential pursuant to federal and state law. Public bodies also can meet in closed session to discuss information that is not of public record, such as attorney-client privilege information between a board’s attorney and its members.

Public bodies also may meet

Land negotiations and economic incentives also can be discussed in closed session, but general statutes clearly say the action by boards on those matters must be done in an open meeting.

In addition, boards also can meet in closed session to hear reports concerning investigations of alleged criminal misconduct and to discuss any plans to protect public safety as it relates to potential terrorist activity.

Matters concerning general policy of public bodies may not be discussed in closed session, according to North Carolina law.

Boards also can’t remove a member or fill a vacancy in their public body unless done in an open meeting.

Stevens said public bodies often have gone into closed session to discuss one matter, but then go off into another discussion that wasn’t intended to be discussed.

“We probably have more improper or illegal closed sessions than we do entire meetings,” he said.

TRIAD – People who want to access public information from federal, state and local government agencies have the right to do so — the path to the information is just different.

The Freedom of Information Act spells out how federal agencies provide information about their activities, files and documents to the public. State public records laws govern the same access for North Carolina agencies and departments of local governments, such as county and municipal governments.

The laws for federal agencies and state and local governments are similar in intent but implemented differently, said Hugh Stevens, an attorney out of Raleigh for the N.C. Press Association.

In North Carolina, the courts have ruled repeatedly that “if

Brother, sisters finally meet after years apart WINSTON-SALEM (AP) – Until last month, Don Carter had no idea he had siblings.

Turns out, he has seven of them.

“I didn’t know anything about them at all,” Carter said. “I knew I was adopted.”

In the process of finding out that he had siblings, Carter, who lives in Florida, learned that Nancy Isley, someone he grew up thinking was a cousin, was his sister.

Recently, Carter and Isley, who lives in WinstonSalem, met two more sisters for the first time – Susan Young, who lives in Kentucky, and Tammy Waites, who lives in Alabama.

“Oh, God, I just don’t believe it. You’re here,” Isley said as Young and Waites walked into the reception area of the apartment building where Isley lives. “Y’all just don’t know what this means.”

Once introductions were made and photographs taken and gifts exchanged, including “Blast from the Past” T-shirts that Waites had made for the occasion,

In this March 5 photo, Susan Young (left) looks on as her sister Nancy Isley (center) shows Young’s children Staci, 9, and Timmy, 8, photos of her own children.

Young said she was overwhelmed.

“It’s unbelievable,” she said.

What Waites had to say was, “Wow!” Setting up everything, Waites said, she felt calm.

As the time to meet approached, that changed.

“Ten minutes before I got here, I was a wreck,” she said.

For Young and Waites, the meeting was the culmination of years of looking.

Young, 48, and Waites, 40, have known for years that they had siblings some-

where. They were adopted by couples who knew each other and lived in the same town – LaGrange, Ga. Both couples told their daughters that they were adopted and that they were sisters.

“Our parents made sure we knew each other and stayed in contact,” Young said.

They also knew that there were other siblings.

As adults, Young and Waites decided to track them down. It had nothing to do with being unhappy with the circumstances in which they grew up, they

said. They feel blessed by the parents they were given.

“I couldn’t have asked for better,” Young said.

“I had the best parents in the world.”

It was about wanting to make a connection with the others.

“I just want to know them all,” Young said.

As an adult, Young met their biological mother, Betty Vawter, and found out that a sister named Candy had stayed with their mother. But her mother would not help her find the other siblings.

“I asked my mother, and she wouldn’t tell me,” Young said.

Young and Waites said they hold nothing against their mother, who died about 15 years ago. She did what she had to do.

Through connections with her mother’s relatives, they were able to track down two more siblings – a sister named Melea and a sister named Tammy. They continued to search for the other three.

Star science teacher piles on winnings CHARLOTTE (AP) – While Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools inches toward teacher performance pay, biology teacher Tamica Stubbs is reaping some serious rewards for excellence in her Waddell High classroom.

The Burroughs Wellcome Fund just chose Stubbs for a new $175,000 five-year grant. The National Science Teachers Association is giving her a $10,000 Shell Science Teaching Award.

And she’ll pick up $1,000 and additional honors as the 2010 outstanding high school teacher for the N.C. Science, Mathematics and Technology Center.

All that piles onto other grants and awards she has used to create a topflight research program at Waddell, a southwest Charlotte school where most students are minorities from low-income families. Her students are competing nationally in nanoscience and biotechnology.

“Tamica is one of a kind,” says CMS math and science director Cindy Moss. “She’s won everything this year.”

She’s also the kind of standout who could be lured from the classroom by more lucrative and higher-profile jobs. When the Observer profiled

Stubbs a year ago, she was already fielding job offers and said she wasn’t sure how much longer she’d teach high school.

As it happens, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund was about to launch a North Carolina pilot program to help public schools compete for such sorely needed talent.

The fund, headquartered in the Research Triangle Park, was created by an international pharmaceutical company to promote biomedical science.

A board member read the Observer article, heard about Stubbs from one of her award-winning students and urged her to apply. She was chosen as one of five N.C. teachers who will get $175,000 in extra salary and money to bolster their classrooms and keep educating themselves.

“If ever there’s an award you’d want to win, I would see this Burroughs Wellcome award as the one big thing,” said Stubbs, 36.

The money is spread out over five years to encourage the winners to stay in N.C. classrooms. Moss said 60 teachers, including seven or eight from CMS, applied. Her goal now is to see a CMS math teacher claim a future Burroughs Wellcome award.

Candidate for state Senate has history with SEC MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

JAMESTOWN – Jeffrey Brommer, a Republican candidate in state Senate District 28, has twice been fined by stock regulators for misleading investors.

In both cases, one settled in 1999 and the other in 2008, Brommer was accused of promoting a company’s stock offerings without disclosing he owned some of those shares and benefited from an increase in stock values.

“I’d like to but I’m unable to comment on them,” Brommer said of the two fines by the Securities and Exchange Commission. “It’s nothing that I’m ashamed of or anything like that. It’s not going to affect my decisions on voting. It’s something that’s in the past.”

Brommer, 45, now owns a sales and marketing firm based in Jamestown.

He is one of four candidates running in the Republican primary for Senate District 28, currently held by Democrat Sen. Katie Dorsett.

Dorsett withdrew from the race, and two other Democrats are squaring off for their party’s nomination. Bruce Davis, a Democratic Guilford County Commissioner, is mounting a petition drive to get on the ballot as an independent candidate.

According to court documents and news releases by the SEC, Brommer’s most recent run-in with the Securities and Exchange Commission came in 2008. He was involved with a company called Strategic Management & Opportunity Corporation, known as SMPP. The complaint in the case alleges that SMPP “issued a series of materially false and misleading press releases.” That marketing effort drove the company’s stock price from 10 cents to $4.50, enabling the company to sell more stock at an inflated price.

Brommer was hired to provide investor relations services for the company. The complaint alleges that Brommer “vouched” for the company without disclosing his own financial interest in company stock.

Brommer “without admitting or denying the allegations” entered a legal settlement in which he paid more than $25,000 to “disgorge” his profits and another $40,000 in penalties.

Greensboro City councilwoman Trudy Wade, one of the other Republicans in the race, did not comment directly on the SEC proceedings when asked if she thought they should keep Brommer from office.

“I think the voters will have to make that decision,” Wade said.

1 dead after police shooting outside Duke hospital DURHAM (AP) – Duke University police say two officers were involved in a deadly shooting outside the school’s hospital that left one person dead.

The police department said in a news release that an unidentified person was shot early Saturday morning during an altercation outside the hospital’s front entrance.

Police said there was no indication the person was an employee, patient or patient family member.

Police Chief John Dailey

says one officer was treated for a minor injury.

Dailey did not identify which officer was injured, but said the two involved in the shooting were 23year veteran Larry Carter and Jeffrey Liberto, who has been on the force two years.

Few details were released because of the ongoing investigation.

Hospital services were not interrupted, but the main entrance was closed and visitors routed to another entrance.

An injured victim walks away from a burning vehicle at the site of a suicide bombing in Saidu Sharif, a town of Pakistan’s Swat Valley, Saturday. A suicide attacker struck a security checkpoint, killing scores of people.

Suicide attack kills 13 in Pakistan SAIDU SHARIF, Pakistan (AP) – A renewed wave of violence struck on Saturday in small-town Pakistan when a suicide bomber on a motorized rickshaw killed 13 people at a security checkpoint, raising fears the nation is sliding back into a period of relentless bloodletting.

The blast – the second major attack in Pakistan in less than 24 hours – occurred in the Swat Valley, where Taliban fighters battled government soldiers for months last year.

The attack in Saidu Sharif, Swat’s administrative capital, also wounded 52 people. A day earlier, two suicide bombers killed 55 people in coordi-

nated explosions in the eastern city of Lahore.

No one has claimed responsibility for either attack, but suspicion quickly fell on the loose network of Islamist insurgents who have been fighting the U.S.allied Islamabad government and who have stepped up attacks against security forces in recent days.

Maj. Gen. Ashfaq Nadeem, a top military official for the region, said the dead in Saturday’s attack included two soldiers and two policemen. “Such acts cannot demoralize us. I want to assure the people of Swat that we will continue fighting till the last Taliban are eliminated,� he said.

4 people beheaded of 13 slain around Acapulco ACAPULCO, Mexico – At least 13 people have been killed in a Mexican Pacific coast state plagued by drug gang violence.

Guerrero state police say the dead include two decapitated men whose bodies were left on a scenic road packed with nightclubs in the resort city of Acapulco.

In a separate incident, gunmen killed five police officers patrolling in Tuncingo, a rural community outside Acapulco. In the same area, police found bullet-ridden bodies of five men, including two who had been beheaded.

Israel to investigate Biden fiasco JERUSALEM – Israel’s premier has ordered an investigation into how government officials announced plans for a new Jewish housing project in east Jerusalem during a visit by Vice President Joe Biden.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said he ordered the probe late Saturday after he met with top Cabinet ministers. While Biden was visiting earlier this week, Israel’s Interior Ministry said it approved plans to build 1,600 homes for Jews in disputed east Jerusalem. Biden condemned the announcement, which overshadowed his visit.

Al-Qaida suspect tricked his Yemeni guard SAN’A, Yemen – An American al-Qaida suspect detained in Yemen fooled his hospital guards into unshackling him by asking to join them for prayers, security officials said Saturday.

The new details of Sharif Mobley’s failed escape attempt indicate the 26-year-old American of Somali descent has a level of training and cunning characteristic of the terror network.

Iraqi vote signals religious shift BAGHDAD (AP) – Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s political coalition took an early vote lead Saturday in the election’s all-important battleground of Baghdad, pulling away from its two closest rivals in the latest indication that Iraqis want a moderate government instead of Shiite religious

hard-liners leading the postwar nation.

Partial results released by the Independent High Electoral Commission showed the State of Law coalition with about a 60,000-vote edge nationwide over its main moderate challenger, the secular Iraqiya coalition. The Shiite fun-

damentalist Iraqi National Alliance was in third place.

The partial Baghdad vote was released amid utter disarray in the election commission’s headquarters, where the results were flashed on big-screen TVs but yanked down moments later, only to be released yet again.

Former astronauts criticize US moon decision LONDON – Two former astronauts have said they are disappointed with the U.S. government’s decision to cancel NASA’s moon landing program.

Jim Lovell, who led the Apollo 13 mission in 1970, told the BBC the cancellation could be disastrous.

“Personally, I think it will have catastrophic consequences in our ability to explore space and the spin-offs we get from space technology,” Lovell said. “They haven’t thought through the consequences.” Eugene Cernan, part of the 1972 Apollo 17 mission, said the U.S. has a responsibility to lead the world in space exploration and technology.

Lesbian discharged after cops tell military RAPID CITY, S.D. – Jene Newsome played by the rules as an Air Force sergeant: She never told anyone in the military she was a lesbian.

The 28-year-old’s honorable discharge under the “don’t ask, don’t tell� policy came only after police officers in Rapid City, S.D., saw an Iowa marriage certificate in her home and told the nearby Ellsworth Air Force Base.

Newsome and the American Civil Liberties Union filed a complaint against the western South Dakota police department, claiming the officers violated her privacy when they informed the military about her sexual orientation.

Sen. Reid’s wife leaves intensive care FALLS CHURCH, Va. – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s wife has been transferred out of a Virginia hospital’s intensive care unit and is improving after she was seriously injured in an accident on an interstate highway near Washington.

Jon Summers, a spokesman for the senator, says that Landra Reid’s condition was upgraded on Saturday to good, two days after a tractor-trailer rearended the minivan she and their daughter were riding in on I-95.

Landra Reid underwent surgery Friday to stabilize her broken neck.

Woman dies during weeks-long fast BARTOW, Fla. – Authorities say a 55-year-old woman died alone in a bedroom of her central Florida home after locking herself in the room for several weeks for a lengthy religious fast.

Evelyn Boyd told her husband, a preacher at a Pentecostal church in the city of Bartow, not to disturb her when she locked herself in the room Feb. 7 to fast and pray with only water to drink. Family members forced open the door March 5 and found her dead.

Sheriff Grady Judd told the St. Petersburg Times that deputies don’t expect to file charges, though the investigation continues.

Obama promises brighter futures for students

Utah GOP leader resigns SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – Utah’s House majority leader resigned from the Legislature Saturday, two days a f t e r his confession about sitting nude in a hot Garn tub with a teenage girl 25 years ago stunned this conservative state.

Republican Rep. Kevin Garn, in an email message to House Speaker David Clark, apologized for becoming a distraction. “After discussing this matter with my family, I have decided that it is in the best interests of them, my colleagues and the people of Utah,� he wrote.

A message left on Garn’s cell phone was not immediately returned on Saturday.

Garn, 55, acknowledged the indiscretion with the legal minor late Thursday after the Legislature adjourned for the session. “Although we did not have any sexual contact, it was still clearly inappropriate – and it was my fault,� he told colleagues from the House floor Thursday night.

House members responded with thunderous applause for his honesty and embraced him.

Hold on to your hat A man holds on to his hat as he leans into the blowing wind on a pier near the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, N.J., Saturday.

ATLANTA (AP) – President Barack Obama is promising parents and their kids that with his administration’s help they will have better teachers in improved schools so U.S. students can make up for academic ground lost against youngsters in other countries.

A plan to overhaul the 2002 education law championed by President George W. Bush was unveiled by the Obama administration Saturday in hopes of replacing a system that in the last decade has tagged more than a third of schools as failing and created a hodgepodge of sometimes weak academic standards among states. “Unless we take action – unless we step up – there are countless children who will never realize their full talent and potential,� Obama said during a video address on Saturday. “I don’t accept that future for them.

And I don’t accept that

future for the United States of America.�

In the proposed dismanObama tling of the No Child Left Behind law, officials would move away from punishing schools that don’t meet benchmarks and focus on rewarding schools for progress, particularly with poor and minority students.

Obama intends to send a rewrite to Congress on Monday of the law.

The proposed changes call for states to adopt standards that ensure students are ready for college or a career rather than grade-level proficiency – the focus of the current law.

The blueprint also would allow states to use subjects other than reading and mathematics as part of their measurements for meeting federal goals.

Sen. Brown bashes president’s ‘bitter’ health push WASHINGTON (AP) – Newly arrived Republican Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts accused President Barack Obama and Democrats on Saturday of a “bitter, destructive and endless� drive to pass health overhaul legislation that Brown warned would be disastrous. “An entire year has gone to waste,� Brown said in the weekly GOP radio

and Internet address. “Millions of Americans have lost their jobs, and many Brown more jobs are in danger. Even now, the president still hasn’t gotten the message. “Somehow, the greater the public opposition to

the health care bill, the more determined they seem to force it on us anyway.�

Brown himself can claim responsibility for the Democrats’ failure to pass health overhaul legislation to date. They were on the verge of doing so before Brown claimed

the late Edward M. Kennedy’s Senate seat in a special election upset in January, depriving Democrats of their filibusterproof supermajority and throwing the health care effort into limbo.

It has been gradually revived, and Democrats are now pushing for final

passage before Easter under complex Senate rules that would allow them to sidestep a Republican filibuster. Republicans in the House and Senate are unanimously opposed to the sweeping legislation, which would extend coverage to some 30 million uninsured Americans.

Strong ratings for Leno’s return to late-night NEW YORK (AP) – After a smashing return, Jay Leno appears headed for a battle with David Letterman for late-night television supremacy.

The Nielsen Co. says Leno averaged 5.6 million viewers last week, his first back at NBC’s “The Tonight Show” following the ill-fated prime time experiment.

Leno Letterman had 3.7 million at CBS. Leno took advantage of curiosity over his return and a strong lineup of guests, including Olympic stars and Sarah Palin.

It was a half-million more than he averaged his last season at “Tonight.”

It’s been much closer the second week.

Through four nights, Leno is averaging 4.3 million viewers and Letterman has 4 million.

Considering Leno usually beat Letterman by a million and a half during their last season of competition, that’s a sign of erosion for NBC’s latenight franchise.

Eric Cartman (left) and an animated version of golfer Tiger Woods are shown in season premiere of the animated series, “South Park,” airing Wednesday.

‘South Park’ begins 14th season by taking on Tiger NEW YORK (AP) – Golf clubs in hands or not, the kids of “South Park” are ready to take on Tiger Woods.

Creators of the Comedy Central cartoon have long since proven that no subject is sacred to them. So for the opening of its 14th season on Wednesday, the troubled golfer encounters Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman in their animated Colorado town.

“It’s such an important issue in America right now – the sex addiction outbreak,” Matt Stone, who makes the series with partner Trey Parker, said on Friday. “We’re all really concerned about him and hope he gets better.”

Sex addiction, the intersection of powerful men and willing women, latenight phone calls to the police and bad public relations gave them so much fodder they could have made an entire Tiger-centric season, Stone said.

Since the Peabody Award-winning show’s first episode in 1997, Parker and Stone haven’t worried about lines between good taste and bad if they can get a laugh.

They mocked the Church of Scientology to the point of annoying Tom Cruise.

Battle over benefits Tax time means confusion for many unemployed taxpayers

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Johnn Marie Kruse has seen a growing number of confused taxpayers who have questions and concerns about filing after they received unemployment assistance for a large part of 2009.

Kruse, community resource specialist with High Point’s Community Development and Housing Department, oversees the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, which offers free tax preparation

for joint filers or individuals that make less than $49,000 a year.

“It’s $2,400 that is nontaxable in unemployment compensation this year,” she said. “If they don’t have taxes taken out on it through the year, they’ll have to pay that now.

We’ve seen more of those individuals (with questions about unemployment) come in this year than last year.”

Backlit by a state unemployment record of 11.1 percent in January, owing those taxes or others

B

due to a drop in the federal government’s withholding amounts on paychecks while tax rates stayed the same also has been a problem for some, said Kruse, noting that refunds this year issued at area VITA sites have been lower than last year.

On the other hand, if those filers qualify for a refund, it could provide some financial relief, said Mark Hanson, spokesman for the Greensboro IRS office.

“If taxpayers had income below a certain threshold, they may not be required to file,” he said. “However, by not filing, they could be missing out on a refund and possibly the Earned Income Tax Credit.”

The EITC was increased this year and can offer those who claim one or more children between $3,000 and $5,000.

If an unemployed person can’t pay the amount they owe, however, Hanson said there are new, more flexible guidelines offered by the IRS this year “to help people having difficulties meeting their tax obligations because of unemployment or other financial problems.”

According to the IRS, a compromise, or an agreement between a taxpayer and the IRS that settles that taxpayer’s debt for less than the amount owed can be a viable option. IRS employees this year can

consider a taxpayer’s current income and potential for future income when negotiating an offer. The standard practice is to judge an offer amount on a taxpayer’s earnings in prior years.

If the taxpayer’s financial situation improves significantly later in the year, however, the IRS may require them to pay more.

The best way to handle the situation is to talk with a tax preparer, Hanson said. If a filer can get a refund this year, it may be worth the effort. If not, the IRS may be able to adjust the cost for some taxpayers.

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Former state legislator Cal Cunningham of Lexington is hoping some home cooking in his native county at a barbecue fundraiser Tuesday will bolster his campaign for the Democratic Party nomination in this year’s U.S. Senate race.

Cunningham, an attorney and Iraq war veteran, hopes to draw at least 500 supporters to a rally at the Richard Childress Racing Auditorium at 425 Industrial Drive in Welcome. The Cunningham campaign kickoff and barbecue dinner begins at 6:30 p.m.

Cunningham is among six Democrats seeking the party’s Senate nomination in the May 4 primary. His two main competitors are N.C. Secretary of State Elaine Marshall and Chapel Hill attorney Ken Lewis. Other Democrats in the race are Marcus Williams of Lumberton, Ann Worthy of Gastonia and Susan Harris of Old Fort.

First-term Republican Sen. Richard Burr is seeking re-election and faces three primary challengers May 4. They are Asheboro City Councilman Eddie Burks, former state legislator Larry Linney of Charlotte and Brad Jones of Lake Toxaway.

The Democratic and Republican Senate nominees square off in the Nov. 2 general election.

The Libertarian Party candidate who will be on the general election ballot has local ties – Michael Beitler of Oak Ridge.

Burr came to Cunningham’s backyard to campaign Friday.

The senator from Winston-Salem attended the Davidson County Republican Party Lincoln/Reagan Day Banquet in Lexington.

Burr was the keynote speaker at the event at the Lexington Municipal Club. The banquet drew more than 160 people, reports the Richard Burr Committee. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

No word on when body scanners might come to PTIA

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GREENSBORO – Federal air safety transportation officials aren’t saying when, or if, body scanner security equipment would be installed at Piedmont Triad International Airport.

Earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security announced the names of the first 11 U.S. airports that will receive body scanners.

The only North Carolina airport on the initial list is Charlotte/Douglas International Airport.

The federal government doesn’t comment on which airports might receive body

scanners until a formal announcement is made by the Department of Homeland Security, said Jon Allen, spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at the regional office in Atlanta. The TSA, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security, is the federal agency set up after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to oversee airline and airport security.

The TSA deploys body scanning security checkpoint technology at airports “based on risk, airport readiness and operational suitability,” Allen told The High Point Enterprise.

“We’ve procured 150 machines so far, which are in the process of being deployed.

What we’ve said is that another 300 will be purchased and deployed this year, which would be a total of 450,” he said.

The cost per unit of the body scanning machines is $130,000 to $170,000, Allen said.

Federal officials picked up the pace of installing body scanners at airports after a failed terrorist attack on a jet flying from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas Day. A Nigerian national was arrested for trying to ignite an explosive hidden in his underwear. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

NC community college’s first chairman dies at 88 CARY (AP) – Lynn Kelso, the first chairman of Craven Community College’s board of trustees, has died.

He was 88.

Kelso died March 7 at Glenaire Retirement Community, the Brown-Wynne Funeral home of Cary confirmed Saturday. A cause of death was not available.

Kelso became chairman of the college’s board in 1968 when it was known as Craven County Technical Institute, college spokes-

woman Sandy Wall told the Sun Journal of New Bern. “I think he saw the benefit of what a college like that could for the community,” Wall said. “He took a leading role in creating that and we’re certainly fortunate that he and others did.

“It takes a visionary form of leadership to create essentially something from nothing.”

Kelso also was a member of the State Board of Community Colleges, and had served as vice chairman.

GREENSBORO – Magnet school applications were due Friday, and again this year Guilford County Schools expected a record number.

But the district is looking closely at some of those programs, including plans to completely rework ineffective programs at four schools “They have life spans to them,” said Michelle Ungurait, the school district’s director of magnet and choice schools. “Some of the themes just aren’t as relevant anymore.”

Guilford opened its first magnet schools more than 20 years ago.

Magnet schools became a national trend as a way to increase racial diversity in schools.

Guilford County has 44 magnet schools.

Hampton Leadership Academy is one of four magnet schools the school board will review later this month for a new theme. Hampton became a magnet school in 2001.

David Jarmon, the school’s principal, said one of the biggest hurdles his school has faced is funding. “We were a leadership school in name only,” he said. “There wasn’t enough funding to promote leadership in a way that it could benefit everybody.”

Red Cross says thank you for response D

o you remember the theme song from the movie Ghostbusters? The refrain went like this, “Who are you gonna call?

Ghostbusters.” Here is a “twist” on that song.

When an earthquake devastates Haiti or Chile.

Who are you gonna call?

When a hurricane hits the Gulf Coast. Who are you gonna call? When your neighbor’s house burns down.

Who are you gonna call? When disaster ABOUT strikes eiTOWN ther across the globe Mary or in your Bogest own back yard. Who are you gonna call? You are probably getting the drift now. The answer is simple. The American Red Cross.

For our community, it is the High Point-Thomasville (and Lexington) chapter of the American Red Cross. Executive Director Bob Ziegler invited me to the Community Appreciation Luncheon recently held at Childress Vineyards. This was a “thank-you event in appreciation of encouragement and support” given to our Red Cross chapter for services that include disaster services here and abroad (10,400 people attended community disaster education briefings), health and safety services which includes training people (9,989 last year) in first aid, CPR etc.; blood services (425 drives collecting 14,372 units of blood); youth services (152 young volunteers learned value of community involvement); service to the armed forces (208 emergency communications) and international services (210 people learned about International Humanitarian Law). That isn’t even all. I will get to the rest later.

Thomasville Medical Center and Sealy Inc. sponsored this “thankyou” luncheon (very delicious), and Childress Vineyards is a wonderful place to gather on a spring-like Saturday afternoon. David Taylor and his wife Melissa were the first to greet me as I arrived at Childress.

You know Taylor as chief of the High Point Fire Department, He also has been the very dedicated chairman of the Red Cross Board of Directors.

When he first accepted that position, I remember that he said he wanted to be very “hands on.” He wanted to get a real firsthand and up-close view of ■■■

what the Red Cross does in our community and beyond. From all accounts, he has done just that this past year, and I can imagine that, between the Fire Department and the Red Cross, Taylor did not have much free time. I should have asked Melissa about that!

The sounds of classical music charmed the guests as they arrived.

This was a very special treat because it was Ziegler’s son, Jonathan, who “tickled the ivories” with the touch that only a gifted musician possesses. Dad’s chest was admittedly “bursting with pride” as everyone delighted in the soothing music. Jonathan took the weekend to come to High Point from his studies in graduate school at the University of Tennessee.

Taylor proudly told the group, “We want you to know that even in these hard times our Red Cross has continued to be high performing.” “High performing” means that in addition to everything that I told you before the Disaster Action Team also responded to 107 single-family fires. This past year our Red Cross touched 64,999 lives – let’s just round that out to 65,000. Imagine! The Red Cross want you to know more about all of their programs. That’s why each month they host a “Red Cross and YOU!” Tour at 815 Phillips Ave. in High Point.

There is both a breakfast tour and a lunch tour held the second Thursday of each month. This is their promo. Come learn about what the Red Cross does. Have a little breakfast or lunch. Get back to work within the hour.

Taylor, whose term as chairman ends in June, also added, “It has been an honor to watch our staff work. We have not let this economic downturn effect our services.”

Did you know that March is Red Cross month? It is, and they are in the middle of the annual “heroes” campaign. Each “hero” is challenged to raise $1,000 for the Red Cross. Keep in mind that if you are a “hero” or approached by a hero that 91 cents out of every dollar goes to humanitarian services and programs. The Red Cross relies totally on private donations, talent, money and blood (literally) to do their work. Remember, 65,000 lives in our community alone were helped by the Red Cross last year. Finally Ziegler said, “With your support, we can transform a life in crisis into a life of hope.”

Bob Ziegler, (from left) executive director of the High Point-Thomasville (and Lexington) chapter of the American Red Cross, stands with his son Jonathan, who provided the music for the appreciation luncheon, and High Point Fire Department Chief David Taylor, chairman of the Red Cross chapter’s board of directors. this column, I told you about the triumphant “Broadway Our Way” dinner theater put on by LifeSpan participants.

I was invited recently to the LifeSpan Philanthropy Lunch held at the Emerald Event Center in Greensboro. I had never been to the Emerald Event Center before but it proved to be a very nice location for this event, which served as a fundraiser for both High Point and Greensboro. Just as a reminder, LifeSpan serves individuals with developmental disabilities.

While those who attended were primarily from Greensboro, High Pointers played a very special role in this event from the major sponsors who included Martha and the late Yogi Yarborough, who were listed as one of three of LifeSpan’s Multi-Year Giving Society. High Point Bank served as a Silver Sponsor but let’s get to the fun. After the welcome, the introductions, the invocation, the video, the word from their president and founder, Leigh Derby came the “life transformations.” That is where High Pointers shined.

LifeSpan participant Vicky Thomas had always dreamed of sewing. Her dream came true thanks to volunteers from the Piedmont Quilters Guild Linda Ryan and Donna Snyder who started a quilting and sewing program through a grant from the United Way of Greater

High Point. Vicky proudly stood on the stage in front of the approximately 200 donors, beaming as she showed off the outfit she wore.

More importantly it was the outfit that she made.

To the side of the stage was a quilt and a pillow.

Vicky had made those also. Vicky’s smile and pride were the pride of Ryan and Synder as they

stood in support of their protege. Who could have imagined that Vicky could create such beautiful stitches? Now, Vicky is teaching her mother to sew and is learning to crochet, which is an additional facet of this new program at the High Point location of LifeSpan.

The happiness on Vicky’s face said it all. It

was a defining moment of the luncheon which culminated in “The Ask” or also known as “The Call to Action” by Fox 8 Bob Buckley who said, “Through your generous giving, lives are transformed and dreams come true.” Vicky’s did.

3 NC men plead guilty to faking distress calls RALEIGH (AP) – Three men have pleaded guilty to making false distress calls to the U.S. Coast Guard.

The Coast Guard said in a news release Saturday that 25-year-old Jeremy Fisher of Holly Ridge made at least 22 fake calls to the Coast Guard in 2007 and 2008.

The Coast Guard said 22-year-old William Yates of Sneads Ferry and 21year-old Steven Medina of Onslow County each

pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting false distress messages.

According to their plea agreements, each man will pay the Coast Guard for the cost of deploying search and rescue teams for the hoax calls.

Fisher agreed to pay $234,111, Medina will pay $233.48 and Yates will pay $506.80. The men will be sentenced later and could face jail time and additional fines.

DURHAM – A major regional education association has cited N.C. Central University for its graduation rates – to compliment the school on how well it’s done.

In a report on “How Colleges and Universities are Improving Retention and Graduation Rates,� the Southern Regional Education Board names NCCU as one of 15 institutions nationwide that outperform similar schools and that have improved graduation rates and student achievement.

The board looked at schools that serve a comparatively high percentage of students from low-income families and

students with average or below-average scores on standardized achievement tests.

The board said the 15 schools – including only one other in North Carolina, Elizabeth City State University – “all show a campus culture that supports student success.� “We found that North Carolina Central really was a good example of some of the ideals that characterize an institution that’s successful,� said Cheryl Blanco, the vice president for special projects at SREB, which covers 16 states. “It was very clear to us that the leaders of the campus had a very strong vision about college completion and they talked about that all the time with faculty and students.�

Colorado man who claims pot as sacrament is convicted GEORGETOWN, Colo.

(AP) – A Colorado man who says marijuana is a sacrament in his religion has been convicted of misdemeanor drug charges.

A Clear Creek County judge found Trevor Douglas of Avon guilty Tuesday of possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving an unregistered vehicle.

Douglas says he will appeal. He says he’s standing up for his First Amendment right to religious freedom.

Benedict got a firsthand readout of the scope of the scandal Friday in his native land from the head of the German Bishop’s Conference, Archbishop Robert Zollitsch, who reported that the pontiff had expressed “great dismay and deep shock� over the scandal, but encouraged bishops to continue searching for the truth.

Hours later, the Munich archdiocese admitted that it had allowed a priest suspected of having abused a child to return to pastoral work in the 1980s, while Benedict was archbishop. It stressed that the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger didn’t know about the transfer.

Politicians are taking away our property rights Chester Ayers (Your View, March 3) complains that a “special interest group” might win the Trinity truck parking debate.

Well, those who support that ordinance have their own special interests in mind.

There is a larger concern here.

The pilgrims sailed here in their rickety little ships to escape this problem: better-than-thou governments and neighbors deciding what they could or couldn’t do with their own property.

City and county governments are insidiously taking away our rights for no better reason than whatever they think looks pretty.

High Point has a new law saying I can’t park my own car on my own grass. Frankly, it is no one else’s business how I park my own car on my own property!

Wilson has a law that says you can’t set your own sofa on your own front porch. What about those seniors who enjoy sitting on their front porch on spring days breathing fresh air and listening to the birds singing?

These governments long ago brushed aside the fact that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. These politicians think they have a more highly developed sense of beauty and taste than we do, and with the stroke of a pen, they commandeer our rights as property owners!

The very foundation our country is built on is that when the

right of a single individual is protected, it is protected for all. When that right is taken away from one, it is taken away from all of us.

I wonder how Ayers would feel if Trinity said he must plant city specified shrubbery in his yard because it makes his neighborhood look better?

Our rights should be a thousand times more important than what some blue-nosed politicians think we should do with our property!

ave you wondered how much your city manager is paid? Are you curious about how many disciplinary actions were taken this year at the school your child will attend for the first time next fall? Do you know about tools you can use – Freedom of Information Act and the North Carolina Open Records Law – to get information about how, what and why your government does what it does?

How you – the ordinary citizen – can go about getting that information and much more will be revealed this week in a five-day, eight-story series in The High Point Enterprise.

The week of March 14-20 is Sunshine Week, a national initiative to open a dialogue about the importance of open government and freedom of information. Participants include print, broadcast and online news media, civic groups, libraries, nonprofits, schools and others interested in the public’s right to know. Sunshine Week is led by the American Society of News Editors and is funded primarily by a challenge grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation of Miami.

Although spearheaded by journalists, Sunshine Week is about the public’s right to know what its government is doing, and why. Sunshine Week seeks to enlighten and empower people to play an active role in their government at all levels and to give them access to information that makes their lives better and their communities stronger.

Take time to read the Sunshine Week 2010 stories and educate yourself about getting access to information you want and need.

Open meetings and open records laws haven’t been adopted just to serve the media. They are there for you to use. Allow this series to remind you that if you don’t use it, you can lose it.

ceived stories from its member newspapers via “hard copy,” by telegraph, by being read over the telephone or, by the 1970s, being sent by telecopier. In addition, seemingly legions of AP reporters covered many of OPINION the stories the news service sent to members. For much Tom of the century, almost every Blount story sent to the AP was ■■■ edited closely and/or rewritten by AP staffers before it was “filed,” the term used for sending stories to members.

More recently, Internet and e-mail use allowed members generally to flood AP bureaus with stories. At that point, it appears sheer volume and pressing deadlines meant the AP was unable to edit stories as closely as it previously had done. Many of the stories the AP filed were quite similar to the way they were sent to AP by the various newspapers.

That situation was magnified and/or multiplied once both the AP and services akin to McClatchy-Tribune (with permission provided by some type of agreement) began plucking stories off “member” newspaper Web sites and sending them statewide, regionwide, nationwide and perhaps even worldwide.

Isn’t technology wonderful?

I explained to the caller that the stylebooks used by some of the newspapers submitting stories to AP and from which McClatchy-Tribune gets stories may differ greatly from the Associated Press Stylebook, which a majority of daily newspapers use for consistency of presentation, easier understanding, etc.

Therefore, some newspapers, because of style or other policy, may refrain from using party affiliation in many instances or their reporters and editors assume (always a dangerous practice) that readers are well enough educated to recognize, at least at the highest levels of government, the party affiliation of those most often mentioned (president, many senators, some congressmen, most governors, etc.).

Over time, we have heard comments similar to those of last week’s caller from quite a few of you. Enterprise editors are sensitive to the issue as stories come across their desks but time is far too valuable when they’re trying to get the paper to press on time to always check to see if party affiliation is or isn’t in a story.

YOUR VIEW POLL

Different ways of doing things aren’t always bias

he phone call came from an admittedly conservative unaffiliated, longtime subscriber to The High Point Enterprise. The caller said he believed that the Enterprise editorial department staff does “a pretty good job of being relatively fair,” but wondered aloud about whether The Associated Press sometimes showed its bias, especially when reporting on scandals.

The caller claimed the news service “always mentions Republican, or R in parentheses, if a Republican politician” is accused of untoward behavior or is involved in a scandal “but rarely, if ever, does the word Democrat or D appear if the subject of such articles is a Democrat.

He cited a March 7 story about New York Gov. Paterson’s troubles that failed to mention that Paterson is a Democrat. The caller said he “didn’t know if it (Democrat) was edited out” and wondered, if the AP continues to send stories that way, “Enterprise editors could stick ‘Democrat’ or ‘D’ in or take ‘Republican’ or ‘R’ out.”

The Enterprise published only six paragraphs of a 20-paragraph story, so I checked to see if the word Democrat appeared in the part of the AP story that was cut off. There was no party affiliation mentioned in the story.

For the record, from Friday, March 5, through Thursday, March 11, the Enterprise published 19 stories about a variety of political topics (not including stories about President Obama, whom everyone should know is a Democrat) and party affiliation was mentioned in 12 of them – 10 were from AP and two were from McClatchy-Tribune News Service. In nine of those stories, it was almost obligatory that party affiliation be mentioned. In three other stories (about the U.S. House passing tax breaks for new hires, about Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) urging a shift in the sites for terrorist trials, and about former Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) denying that he groped a staffer), party affiliations were provided. In seven other AP service stories (about 9/11 suspects, the N.C. attorney general, Paterson’s troubles, an assault on a state Board of Education member, Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) recalling “Bloody Sunday,” a former district attorney in North Carolina being investigated and a judge considering sending Andrew Young to jail), party affiliation wasn’t mentioned.

If you’re wondering: No, Enterprise editors did not put party affiliation in any of those stories nor did they take it out.

COMMENTARY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, MARCH 14, 2010 www.hpe.com

Elder care has become a big business Can we really T stop spending?

C

ongratulations are in order for the voters of Randolph County who decided to increase the county sales tax by a quarter percent. The Enterprise reported that voter turnout was around 5 percent, with 54 percent of the voters in favor of the tax increase. The other 95 percent either didn’t care or tacitly approved of the increase.

It wasn’t a major increase, it was claimed to be for a good cause, and a sales tax is arguably more fair than a property tax. So does this really matter?

This is one of those things that should make conservatives go “hmm.”

I’m not going to call this a major catastrophe, but there was something here that fiscal conservatives should think about, especially Tea Party supporters.

First, there’s no doubt that community colleges are important. Education in America is extremely important, and should be a major issue of concern for all of us. EducaOPINION tion represents the future of our Mike country, and to be Hughes honest, we’ve been ■■■ getting our clock cleaned by our global competitors for quite a while now. But when Randolph County voters decided to raise taxes to fund the community college, they were effectively saying that everything else in the budget is just as important, or even more important. I find it hard to believe that it was impossible to cut spending in lieu of raising taxes.

Second, nobody should assume that conservatives are going to win big in November. We still have a lot of work to do. Keep in mind that the re-election rate for incumbents is typically well above 90 percent. Of course, this year may be an exception, thanks to the overt corruption and irresponsible actions of the liberal Democrats.

Hopefully, conservatives will rule the day in November – but then what? If there ever was a sobering thought for fiscal conservatives it’s this: People like their entitlements, and they’ll fight to keep them.

If a county that’s been called conservative can sit out a referendum on a tax increase, what’s going to happen when the new Congress tries to cut spending?

We recently had a sneak preview of this when Sen. Jim Bunning tried to block a $10 billion unemployment relief package (that included money for a rural satellite TV program, among other things). Bunning objected to the bill because it would directly add to our massive deficit.

As of last month, only about one-third of the $787 billion (actually $862 billion) stimulus package was paid-out. Why was this $10 billion spending bill so urgent when we have $500 billion in stimulus money sitting around doing nothing?

Bunning tried to do what conservatives say they want all politicians to do, and he got attacked from both parties for doing so. $10 billion at the federal level isn’t that much different from a quarter percent tax increase at the county level.

If we can’t cut $10 billion out of the federal deficit, and if we don’t care about a small sales tax increase, then where are we headed?

I don’t know much about Jim Bunning, but he seems like a patriot to me. We need more politicians like him.

ime was when people got old, they moved in with their children, if they weren’t already living in the same house. But that doesn’t happen so much anymore.

Older adults do not want to be a financial or care burden to their families, so a new genre of options has replaced the “Old Folks Home” many counties operated for years. We need to pay attention to the care being offered our elders.

Taking care of seniors has become a big business. No doubt you have seen the ads for the retirement and adult home complexes complete with fancy dining rooms, handsome meeting rooms, recreation complexes, even indoor swimming pools. Some command six-figure up front investments and monthly service fees costing thousands.

Most folks cannot afford such opulence. They remain in their homes as long as possible, transitioning to assisted living when unable to live alone, finally moving to retirement or nursing

homes as more care is needed.

Elder care isn’t cheap, as you quickly learn upon reviewing monthly charges from any facilMY SPIN ity, affordable to many only Tom because of MediCampbell care and Medic■■■ aid assistance.

When someone places a loved one in an elder care facility they trust that person will be treated with respect, will receive the necessary medical and hygiene attention and that gentle care will be provided.

There is mounting evidence that the profit motive is trumping care considerations in far too many nursing and retirement homes. Reports of neglected, overmedicated or shoddy treatment by understaffed, undertrained or uncaring personnel are becoming too common.

“Medicaid Millionaires” is the moniker now applied to

nursing and retirement home operators who have learned how to game the Medicare and Medicaid system.

WRAL-TV in Raleigh recently reported many of these operators have been major political contributors, often contributing to both opponents in gubernatorial races in an effort to gain access to high-ranking politicians and influence over regulations that affect their businesses, another example of pay to play in this state.

Caring for the elderly isn’t easy. They are often grumpy, demanding, uncommunicative, physically incapable of helping themselves and require frequent attention.

We are blessed to have many in the field who genuinely care and work hard to ensure a high level of treatment to seniors.

We applaud their dedication and high standards. But even though our state developed a rating system to differentiate the good from the bad facilities, it hasn’t been as effective

as needed.

State regulators and advocates for seniors know which operators are good and which ones are not. Too often the same operators are the most frequent offenders, leaving family members with few choices, at the mercy of a system they count on to protect their loved ones. North Carolina citizens need confidence in the regulation, inspection and enforcement of elder care facilities and we need to weed out incapable, uncooperative or uncaring operators.

As baby boomers begin to flood the ranks of people over 65, the demand for elder care will increase exponentially.

Momma always told us to respect our elders. That especially applies to how we treat them in their latter years.

It’s not E-Z Simplifying tax code might go smoother than health care reform

I

have mixed feelings about it, if you want to know the truth.

I speak of tax-code simplification, another item on President Obama’s to-do list.

Last April, he established a committee that includes some sharp people from both sides of the political aisle.

The committee, headed by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, will soon release recommendations on how to simplify the tax code.

The tax issue always has been near and dear to me. I’m an independent writer, you see. Every year about now, I begin waking in cold sweats OPINION because of the massive clerical Tom work I must do Purcell to file my taxes.

■■■ I keep hundreds of receipts in a large box in the closet of my home office. I must organize every one into its appropriate folder, tally and record the total and organize every transaction I made into a detailed document that I send to my CPA. He has it even worse than I do, thanks to Republicans.

Long ago, Republicans were about simplicity where taxes were concerned. President Reagan took the mess that the tax code had been and led a simplification effort that made

tax preparation so simple an English major could do it.

But since then, our politicians – mostly Republicans when they were in charge of the White House and Congress – added all kinds of nuances, albeit some in the form of tax cuts, to produce a monstrosity of a tax code.

Today, the U.S. tax code exceeds 67,000 pages – a document so confusing, a busload of Harvard CPAs can’t agree on what is in it.

During the presidential campaign, Obama offered some ideas to dramatically simplify tax preparation for about 40 percent of Americans.

He said he’d have the IRS use taxpayers’ employer-provided financial information to “pre-populate” their tax-re-

turn forms for them.

Translation: The IRS would do your taxes for you.

Not to worry – if a clerical error said you owed a couple million dollars, I’m sure you’d have to spend only a few weeks in jail before you straightened things out.

In any event, Obama’s taxsimplification ideas sounded pretty good during the campaign and a year ago, but they’ve lost their luster since then – since he and Congress spent the past year trying to “reform” and “simplify” our health care system.

For starters, it doesn’t sound like Obama’s ideas would help out the self-employed much anyway – even if he succeeded in simplifying the tax code.

I don’t work for a company

– I don’t file a W-2. I have a variety of sources of income. I’d still have to itemize. I’d still have to do battle with the box of receipts I keep in my closet.

My CPA, Tommy O, would likely be just as bad off – if not worse.

If the way Obama and Congress went about health care reform is any indication – with apologies to Winston Churchill, the Senate’s bill was a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an ENEMA – they’d likely make the tax code more complicated at the same time they jacked up our taxes.

In any event, now that their first stab at heath care “reform” is in jeopardy – now that Republican Scott Brown has won Ted Kennedy’s old seat – the odds are, reports The Hill, that Obama and Congress are too fatigued to try to reform the tax code.

On one hand, that’s a bummer. I’m desperate for tax simplification.

But considering that things could be made even worse, I don’t mind rooting around in a box of receipts as much as I used to.

As I said, I have mixed feelings about the whole thing.

Obama’s spending could bring US down

BY TONY MOSCHETTI

L

et me first stipulate that, as he does daily, the president inherited a pretty big mess from the previous administration, and the congressional Democrats who gained control of Congress in January 2007. We repeatedly were told that a community organizer, with zero private sector experience was the only one who could fix the economy. It was he, and his fawning media sycophants that convinced you of such utter nonsense!

We were immediately hit with a, now, $862 billion, all borrowed, “stimulus” package and were told that if it passed the unemployment rate would not exceed 8 percent. Then economic adviser Larry Summers, promised that jobs would be created “almost Immediately.” That was last March! A recent poll showed that, wisely, only 6 percent believe the “stimulus” has

worked (7 percent believe that Elvis is still alive!).

Later, when unemployment hit 10 percent and private sector jobs were not being created, we were told by administration spokesmen said they had “no idea” how bad things really were. Really? I recall hearing, every day, during his campaign that this was the worst economy “since the Great Depression.” Apparently, they did know how bad it was!

Despite every poll showing the people wanting him to focus on job creation, Obama has instead focused on trying to implement his utopian, socialist dream of nationalizing the world’s best health care system. Why would such an educated, intelligent man make such a major blunder, even as our economic woes continue, and may worsen again this summer?

Simple. Because he has bet his presidency on health care, and is clueless as to what makes a market-based economy work. He doesn’t like free markets. He is a big government collectivist. Speaking before a group of business leaders recently he, incredibly, felt it necessary to tell them that he’s not anti-business, and isn’t their enemy.

Stunning!

Which previous president has been so openly hostile to private business, and to profits? He has continually derided “fat cat” bankers, while quietly stocking his administration with GoldmanSachs “fat cats.” He publicly demonizes the insurance and drug industries, while quietly cutting back room deals with them to buy their support for his health care takeover.

The result will be higher insurance and drug costs for everyone.

Obama’s massive spending is creating a debt burden that

is jeopardizing our future.

If you follow the news, you know that Greece and other EU countries are in serious economic straits due to their spending and unsustainable debt and Spain’s unwise foray into a “green” jobs economy which has resulted in a 19 percent unemployment rate.

Recently, Fed Chairman Bernanke said that Greece’s problems could also happen here if we continue on the same spending path. California is already our Greece!

Our debt doubled during Bush’s eight years. Obama is on track to double it again in three to five years! That does not include the massive budget deficit exploding costs of his health care “reform.” In a cynical attempt to hide the real costs, benefits don’t begin until 2014 at the earliest, and 2018 at the latest. Take a guess as to why.

Volunteers vital to SC prison’s faith-based program McCORMICK, S.C. (AP) – Without volunteers to help turn violent inmates to God, South Carolina’s cashstrapped prisons agency couldn’t offer any faithbased programs.

On Thursday, hundreds of men and women volunteers gathered with officials to celebrate a milestone 15 years in the making, breaking ground on a new inmate chapel organizers hope will offer a spiritual home to the men at McCormick maximum-security prison.

The chapel, built with $300,000 in state matching funds and donations – some of which came from the inmates themselves – will be available to any of McCormick’s 1,200 inmates who want a quiet place to pray.

But it will likely be more than that for the 100 men who are currently participating in the prison’s first faith-based program.

In the program, the men eat, sleep, exercise, work and pray together. For 12 weeks at a time, they attend classes on self-improvement, including personal responsibility, anger resolution, addiction treatment and parenting.

There are several smaller faith-basedprogramsalready in place in South Carolina’s prisons. But the McCormick project, which started in January, is the agency’s most significant effort to improve inmate behavior and, hopefully, cut down on inmates committing crimes when they’re released.

In a class Thursday, volunteer Tamir Mutakabbir said he uses scripture from the Bible, the Quran and many other texts to discuss ways to build character. One inmate, Keith, said the program was helping him focus on improving his faith and his mind while serving a 30-year sentence for rape.

The prisons agency does not allow inmates to give

Inmates bow their heads in prayer before Celebrate Recovery, an addiction recovery class, during a tour of the classroom facilities at the McCormick Correctional Institution in McCormick, S.C. their last names. “We’re striving to become better Muslims and better human beings,� said Keith, 48. “This program allows us to do that.�

Corrections officials provide inmates with security and basic needs, but the agency couldn’t operate the classes without volunteers to run them. Many of the volunteers who work with McCormick have made a long-term commitment. Don McCormick, who has been leading spiritual discussion groups at the prison for 16

years through Kairos Prison Ministry, said the inmates need an unconditional way to express their faith. “The whole thrust of this is to show them that they are a part of the family of God,� McCormick said.

Is all that necessary?

Experts say US doctors overtesting, overtreating CHICAGO (AP) – Too much cancer screening, too many heart tests, too many cesarean sections. A spate of recent reports suggest that too many Americans – maybe even President Barack Obama – are being overtreated.

Is it doctors practicing defensive medicine? Or are patients so accustomed to a culture of medical technology that they insist on extensive tests and treatments?

A combination of both is at work, but now new evidence and guidelines are recommending a step back and more thorough doctor-patient conversations about risks and benefits.

As a medical journal editorial said this week about Obama’s recent checkup, Americans including the commander in chief need to realize that “more care is not necessarily better care.”

Obama’s exam included prostate cancer screening and a virtual colonoscopy. The PSA test for prostate cancer is not routinely recommended for any age and colon screening is not routinely recommended for patients younger than 50. Obama is 48.

Earlier colon cancer screening is sometimes recommended for highrisk groups – which a White House spokesman noted includes blacks.

Doctors disagree on whether a virtual colonoscopy is the best method.

But it’s less invasive than traditional colonoscopies and doesn’t require sedation – or the possible temporary transfer of presidential power, the White House said.

The colon exam exposed him to radiation “while likely providing no benefit to his care,” Dr. Rita Redberg, editor of Archives of Internal Medicine, wrote in an online editorial. Obama’s experience “is multiplied many times over” at a huge financial cost to society, and to patients exposed to potential harms but no benefits.

“People have come to equate tests with good care and prevention,” Redberg, a cardiologist with the University of California at San Francisco, said in an interview Thursday. “Prevention is all the things your mother told you – eat right, exercise, get enough sleep, don’t smoke – and we’ve made it into getting a new test.”

This week alone, a New England Journal of Medicine study suggested that too many patients are getting angiograms – invasive imaging tests for heart disease – who don’t really need them; and specialists convened by the National Institutes of Health said doctors are too often demanding repeat cesarean deliveries for pregnant women after a first C-section.

Last week, the American Cancer Society cast more doubt on routine PSA tests for prostate cancer. And a few months ago, other groups recommended against routine mammograms for women in their 40s, and for fewer Pap tests looking for cervical cancer.

Experts dispute how much routine cancer screening saves lives.

It also sometimes detects cancers that are too slow-growing to cause harm, or has false-positive results leading to invasive but needless procedures – and some risks.

Treatment for prostate cancer that may be too slow-growing to be life-threatening can mean incontinence and impotence. Angiograms carry a slight risk for stroke or heart attack.

Not all doctors and advocacy groups agree with the criticism of screening. Many argue that it can improve survival chances and that saving even a few lives is worth the cost of routinely testing tens of thousands of people.

Dr. Peter Pronovost, a Johns Hopkins University patient safety expert, said routine testing is often based on bad science, or on guidelines that quickly become outdated as new science emerges.

The recent shift in focus reflects evolving research on the benefits and risks of screening.

HIGH POINT – The American dream of starting a company that employs local workers and produces quality, domestic goods might seem like a dream that’s no longer attainable.

It’s the same dream Thayer Coggin started

Thayer Coggin is located in High Point at 230 South Road.

‘People love a genuine story. There aren’t many companies that can still state that and market that story.’

When he returned to High Point after serving DON DAVIS JR. | HPE in WWII, he applied for a job at High Point-based Dot Coggin (seated) and daughter Royale Wiggin of Thayer Coggin Furniture.

according to Wiggin. His brother remained involved in the company.

The sleek, modern lines in their furniture were particularly unique in the 1950s, but the company has decided to stick with that style of residential furniture.

Wiggin said it continues to produce designs created by Milo Baughman, the designer during the company’s early years.

“We’ve had some people come in whose parents had purchased Thayer Coggin couches or other furniture in the past, requesting the same thing,” she said.

“A lot of times we still have that design. We have a solid game plan we have stuck with for 50 years.”

Wiggin, who joined the company in 1981 and took over as COO in 1995, operates the company with her mother, Dot Coggin, who serves as its public relations manager. One of the strongest marketing tools the company has is its story, which exemplifies an American dream that was achieved and is still going strong today.

NEW YORK (AP) — Panasonic Corp. on Wednesday revealed the price for its first 3-D TV set, confirming that $3,000 is about what it takes to be among the first to watch 3-D movies in the home.

The Japanese company put its first 3-D sets on sale at an event in New York on Wednesday.

Panasonic’s suggested retail price is $2,900 for a 50-inch plasma set, one pair of glasses and a 3-D Blu-ray player. An extra pair of glasses costs $150.

South Korean competitor Samsung Electronics Co. announced Tuesday that its 3D sets would go on sale this week. For $3,000, buyers get a 46-inch set, two pairs of glasses, a 3-D Blu-ray player and a 3-D copy of “Monsters vs.

Aliens.” There’s also a 55-inch set available — it’s $3,300 for the set alone.

Both manufacturers plan to expand their 3-D lines rapidly. Rivals are on their heels: LG Electronics Inc. plans to put its 3-D sets on sale in May and Sony Corp. is bringing out its 3D sets this summer.

The sets can switch between 3-D and regular 2-D mode, which doesn’t require glasses.

There’s a dearth of movies on 3-D discs, but studios are rushing to put them out.

Judge rules RJR ads misleading MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WINSTON-SALEM – A Vermont Superior Court judge ruled Wednesday that the advertising claims regarding the Eclipse cigarette – made

by R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. – were deceptive and misleading.

Judge Dennis Pearson said in a 116-page ruling that he found the marketing in violation of Vermont’s Consumer Fraud Act and the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement that governs cigarette advertising.

The Vermont Attorney General’s Office filed a lawsuit in July 2005 over Reynolds’ claim that Eclipse may pose less of a health risk than regular cigarettes. Another 35 states eventually joined the lawsuit.

Unlike traditional cigarettes, smokers do not light tobacco with Eclipse. They light a carbon tip that heats air that, as it is inhaled, passes over tobacco in a cylinder that’s identical to a standard cigarette.

The flavors of tobacco and nicotine are inhaled and then exhaled by smokers.

Reynolds marketed Eclipse in print and Internet advertising from 2000 to 2007. The company continues to sell Eclipse, but it is considered a nonsupport brand, which means that it doesn’t get any marketing dollars.

Pearson found that the ads conveyed the impression that Eclipse cigarettes “would reduce any given smoker’s chance of develop-

ing cancer,� and that Reynolds did not have the scientific studies to support that claim.

He also found that Reynolds knew that the ads would convince consumers that there would be health benefits if they switched to Eclipse.

Pearson said he would determine what penalties Reynolds would pay, if any, at a later date. “This is a groundbreaking ruling that sets a precedent for stopping the tobacco industry from making deceptive and misleading health claims,� said Matthew Myers, the president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free-Kids.

Reynolds said it would consider its options for an appeal.

Fine-tune skills in job hunt; transfer to job

BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

Job searches are learning experiences, but not just for learning about companies and the people in them. They teach career management and other critical skills that you can use later on at work.

“Job search skills are life skills (used) numerous times over the course of our career,” says Lynne Sarikas, director of the MBA Career Center at Boston’s Northeastern University.

Sarikas manages a program teaching first-year students how to job hunt for corporate residencies and advising them, their second-year counterparts and alumni on finding a full-time position.

Sandra Lamb of Sandra Lamb Consulting Inc., in Denver points out that interviews hone your ability “to think on your feet, to answer unexpected questions... a valuable workplace skill that (enables you to) think creatively, brainstorm effectively, self-edit, summarize effectively and act decisively.

This is why arranging and participating in exploratory interviews can be an extremely valuable learning experience.”

You’re also likely to develop or improve interper-

SPECIAL | WORKWISE FEATURES

Lynne Sarikas tells MBA students at Northeastern University in Boston how to sharpen job-hunting skills and apply them later on the job. She is director of the MBA Career Center at the university. sonal skills. Alan De Back, author of “Get Hired in a Tough Market,” maintains that the interpersonal strategies and rapportbuilding used in searching for a job “are also critical to moving ahead in the workplace. Even if you have the best technical skills in the world, you may be passed over for a promotion or other internal opportunity if you’re viewed as abrasive or difficult to work with.”

One of these skills – being pleasant – might appear to

waste time when you’re focused on interviewing and getting an offer. In fact, a pleasant manner takes you far in a workplace when many people are feeling overextended. You become good company in the office or on a team.

LONG-TERM INVESTMENT Another highly important skill you can take into the workplace is documentation, particularly in networking, Sarikas points out. The method she advocates is simple

but requires diligence, just like any other marketing campaign. To keep it as simple as possible, she advises you to: • Set a number of informational interviews each week, new referrals, new LinkedIn connections and people you touch base with among new and existing contacts.

• Avoid wasting time and creating unnecessary frustration by centralizing your information on one computer, flash drive or planner book.

• Develop a spreadsheet on computer or paper with columns identifying the person, the company, referral sources, date and content of the conversation, date and method by which you followed up and when you’re to recontact the person.

• Consider using contact management software, which will remind you automatically when to reestablish contact.

• Analyze your contact times and failed times to determine exactly when

to call people. “You get to know the people who sit at their desk and eat lunch,” Sarikas comments.

Will this detailed project produce? She cites students who obtained plums by connecting with people, learning that there was an opening and re-connecting. Of course, the method also works for the hidden job market, where you speak with an employer who told you when to recontact him and learn that a need has arisen, even before a job is listed.

Sarikas tells people to “ask the hiring manager what success looks like” and document it once on the job. That record will provide meat for your next performance review. The same documentation skills transfer easily if you’re in sales or customer relations/support. People who manage projects or crossfunctional teams can track “who’s committed to what by when,” Sarikas adds.

When you do land your job, look back on what you learned. Rather than closing the door on your search, build continuity with the skills you enhanced and take them to the job.

Bishop completes drive for five

BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

CHAPEL HILL – Erin Fitzgerald got her Willis Reed moment, bouncing back from what appeared to be a serious injury to re-enter Saturday’s championship tilt.

Megan Buckland had to wait longer for hers, limping to the middle of the Smith Center court long after the final buzzer sounded to accept the Most Valuable Player plaque.

Through the tears of pain cried by both players during their injuries to the tears of joy shed by all the Villains, the moment proved just as sweet as Reed’s dramatic return in the 1970 NBA Finals that led the New York Knicks to a championship.

For Bishop McGuinness, Saturday’s 55-46 triumph over Williamston was its fifth straight in the NCHSAA 1A ranks and the most difficult yet. The young Villains roared to a 15-4 lead and were busy fending off a Tigers charge when Buckland collapsed with 1:28 to play in the third quarter.

“She never cries, so that was tough on everyone,” Fitzgerald said. “But she’s taught us how to push through.”

Buckland feared a knee injury at first, but said trainers later thought her hamstring may be affected instead.

Either way, her day was done at 15 points on 6-for-9 shooting from the field, including 3 of 6 on 3s.

Bishop (23-7) got even younger

Bishop McGuinness celebrates its fifth straight state championship following Saturday’s 55-46 victory over Williamston at the Smith Center in Chapel Hill.

Inside...

----

Villains hang tough, overcome Buckland’s injury. 2D when Fitzgerald, the leading senior contributor, fell to the floor with 2:21 to go. After being down for several minutes, she headed to the bench, moved her knee brace from her left leg to the right – and

checked back in less than a minute later.

Somehow, the senior and the four sophomores calmly finished off a Williamston team that suffered its first loss in 30 games this year. Sammi Goldsmith, who had the ball in her hands at the buzzer, handed it to the official and headed to the bench. Her first stop was a big hug for Buckland.

For the fifth straight year – under the most arduous of circum-

stances – Bishop’s girls capped the season once again with plenty of happy hugs to go around.

“I was concerned when Megan went down and Erin went down,” coach Brian Robinson said. “I have all the confidence in the world in my sophomores and the young kids did the job. I couldn’t be happier right now. I really couldn’t.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Wolfpack’s magical run ends

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

AP

N.C. State’s Javier Gonzalez walks of the court after losing 57-54 to Georgia Tech in the ACC Tournament semifinals on Saturday in Greensboro.

GREENSBORO – Georgia Tech gave N.C. State plenty of opportunities to continue its miracle run Saturday.

State fumbled them away.

Poor shooting from the field and the free throw line, plus and an intentional foul against guard Javier Gonzalez dashed the Wolfpack’s Cinderella hopes of landing in today’s ACC Tournament final as an No. 11 seed. Instead, the seventh-seeded Jackets (22-11) prevailed 57-54 to get a crack to Duke beginning at 1 p.m. at the Greensboro Coliseum.

“We didn’t do well today,” State coach Sidney Lowe said. “We didn’t shoot the ball well (30 percent from the field and 10 of 19 from the free throw line) and we lose by three points. We had the opportunities, but we couldn’t finish it off.”

State didn’t look as if it would have a shot at getting there as it came out lethargic and hit just a third of its fieldgoal attempts in falling 10 behind at the half.

“We didn’t play smart,” Lowe said.

“We weren’t sharp mentally. I told them to play harder and smarter and get the shot we want and pick up the pressure.”

The Wolfpack (19-13) picked up its game enough to hold the Jackets to four points in the first six minutes of the second half to take the lead and went up by as much as four with just over nine minutes to play.

State managed just one bucket and a couple of free throw over the next 7:30,

but stayed close thanks to the Yellow Jackets’ own shooting woes and ballhandling troubles.

Tech finally managed to go up for good at 47-46 on Derrick Favors jumper with 2:52 left. A couple of free throws had made the advantage three when the crucial play involving Gonzalez came.

The junior guard lost the ball when it went off his leg. Derrick Favors scooped it up and was driving toward the basket when Gonzalez grabbed his jersey and pulled him to the ground.

Favors walked away, but members of both teams gathered before they were dispersed by officials.

“I got hit on the arm and lost the ball,” Gonzalez said. “I saw Favors was going to score and he shoots about 50 percent (at the foul line) so I grabbed his jersey. It was an intentional foul.”

Favors, who led the Jackets with 17 points, made one and then a bucket on Tech’s ensuing possession to push the lead to six. State mounted a last rally, getting to within 55-54 on Gonzalez’s 3-pointer with 10 seconds left. After DeAndre Bell hit two free throws for the Jackets, State’s overtime hopes ended when Gonzalez missed a 3 on a play which was designed with Dennis Horner, Scott Wood and Farnold Degand as other options.

Tracy Smith led the Pack with 15 points on a team best 6-for-13, Gonzalez was 3-for-14, Horner 2-for-12 and Wood 3-for-7 after shooting State in the semis. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

HIT AND RUN

TOP SCORES

hether N.C. State receives an NIT bid or not, another Wolfpack basketball season will end at a level far below the program’s glory days of two national championships and 10 ACC titles.

When the final horn sounded Saturday on a 57-54 loss to Georgia Tech in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament, State left the Greensboro Coliseum with a 19-13 record, second-best in the four seasons under coach Sidney Lowe.

The Wolfpack – who last won the ACC Tournament in 1987 and last finished first in the regular season in 1989 – finished the year on a high note. They won five of their

last seven games, the other loss in that span to Virginia Tech. They upset Clemson and Florida State to reach the finals.

Lowe attributes the late surge to his team playing smarter and with more patience.

“They now understand there are ways to win a game when you are shooting poorly through playing defense and playing hard and getting opportunities. We have grown.

They have stuck together and are moving in the right direction. A lot of these guys are coming back next year. They know what it is all about, and they are going to show it to the new guys.

Lowe wants another chance to play to

continue the improvement and thinks the Wolfpack deserves an NIT bid.

“I hope we get another chance. I feel we deserve it. They’ve shown they are capable of playing with some of the best teams in the country in our conference, and we played some of the best teams in the country out of our conference. It would be great for these guys to get one just to show them that their hard work is paying off.”

State fans will be much more satisfied when the hard work results in championships again.

atie Paschal, the No. 2 all-time leading scorer in the state of North Carolina, raced up the court, feinted in several attempts to shake her defender, and finally settled on a jumper.

Air ball. Against sophomore Erin Liebal instead of star junior Megan Buckland.

With Bishop McGuinness’ girls clinging to a three-point lead, senior Erin SPORTS Fitzgerald made one free throw Steve and missed her Hanf next. The battle ■■■ for the offensive rebound went to Sarah Coon – another sophomore – who handed back to Fitzgerald for a crushing jumper in the lane.

There was Marie Petrangeli – sophomore – running the offense in Buckland’s absence, draining 3 of 4 free throws down the stretch. There was Sammi Goldsmith – sophomore – picking up team MVP honors following a 14-point effort that was second to only Buckland, voted the game’s Most Outstanding Player after scoring 15 points.

There was Bishop McGuinness, celebrating a fifth straight N.C. High School Athletic Association 1A championship, at the end of a season that was supposed to be for rebuilding, at the end of a game that was supposed to be a lost cause when Buckland was lost in the third quarter.

“No matter how old you are, you can win a state championship, even if the other team is undefeated,” Liebal said after the 55-46 victory. “If you practice hard enough, play hard enough, you can win a state championship.”

this is our JV team getting ready to go out there.’ It was getting them to understand they had prepared for this moment and the moment was here.”

The sophomores would not wilt under the pressure. Liebal found Goldsmith for a layup on the break. Coon corralled the missed free throw and fed Fitzgerald for the jumper that stretched the lead to 48-42 with three minutes to play – likely the most important play of the game.

Goldsmith, Petrangeli and Coon each hit foul shots down the stretch, and Liebal’s defense on Paschal – who finished with 18 points on 6-for-18 shooting – was nothing short of remarkable.

“Erin loves to play defense,” Robinson praised. “Erin didn’t blink an eye – she wanted the assignment when Megan went down and was up for the challenge.”

They all were, from Lauren Cushing helping during first-half traps to Kelly Elder, Jeanine Mason and Katie Burske – the lone freshman – stepping in for cameos on the season’s biggest stage. With the exception of Fitzgerald and reserve Gabby Mortis, they’re all back next season.

A year older, wiser, stronger, better – if nothing stopped this group of Villains, what lies in wait for the 2010-11 campaign?

“I think this game was a microcosm of our season,” Robinson said. “We started this season with both Megan and Erin on the sidelines, injured, and played basically with a sophomore-filled team. We didn’t want it to end that way, but it did. Words just can’t express how proud I am, not just of the sophomores for stepping up and playing in a pressurepacked situation, but the team as a whole for sticking together during countless adverse moments.”

with some three dozen Division-I scholarship offers, gave Bishop a chance to win every game. So, too, did gritty players such as Fitzgerald, the lone senior starter. And when the eight underclassmen

on the roster started improving, Bishop embarked on a run through the playoffs that seemed destined to end with another coronation in Chapel Hill.

The first quarter closed with the Villains leading 15-4 after forcing seven turnovers and 1-for-7 shooting by the Tigers.

The lead stretched to 26-14 at the half, and even though Williamston rallied in the third quarter to within 35-29, all seemed well in hand for Bishop under Buckland’s guidance.

Then, the unthinkable.

Buckland “felt something pop” around her knee and collapsed to the court with 1:28 remaining in the third quarter. Her first question to the trainer involved returning to the game, but while she could run well enough in the tunnel, she had no lateral movement.

She limped back to the bench and sat with ice on her knee, watching the Villains go ahead 40-31 entering the fourth quarter after clutch baskets from Coon and Goldsmith immediately following her departure.

Everyone in the building had the same thought: Could Bishop possibly hang on without Buckland?

“It was definitely tough, but I had the confidence in my team that we could still win,” Buckland explained. “I knew if I had doubts they would see the fear and doubt in my eyes. To see them compete and play hard and win without me, it was just amazing.”

Still, there were plenty of doubts and fears along the way.

“When Megan got hurt I think we were all a little taken aback,” Goldsmith said. “Her toughness definitely inspired us. That’s the reason we won.”

Bishop missed a handful of easy shots early in the fourth quarter and led just 42-40 when coach Brian Robinson called a timeout.

“Some of them were breathing pretty hard, their eyes were big,” Robinson said. “ ‘Man,

Browns, Delhomme agree to a two-year contract CLEVELAND (AP) – Jake Delhomme has a new NFL home, and the Cleveland Browns have another new quarterback.

Delhomme, released last week by the Carolina Panthers, has agreed to terms on a two-year deal with the Browns, whose quarterback position has been nothing short of a merry-go-round of players since the club returned as an expansion team 11 years ago.

Delhomme’s agent, Rick Smith, said the 35-year-old QB would sign his contract before the club’s off-season conditioning program begins. Smith refused

to comment beyond saying Delhomme would be resuming his career in Cleveland.

A team spokesman said the Browns have no announcements planned.

Cleveland has been busy trying to resolve a troublesome position. Earlier this week, the Browns acquired backup Seneca Wallace and released Derek Anderson, a one-time Pro Bowl selection who has struggled in the past two seasons.

Delhomme is expected to compete for Cleveland’s starting job with Brady Quinn.

OWENS’ TEAM WINS AT COLONIAL

Spring Classic 150 set for today at Caraway SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

ASHEBORO – Rain showers postponed qualifying for today’s Spring Classic 150 at Caraway Speedway.

Teams and officials were trying to accelerate the schedule of events on Saturday, but were not able to

beat the approaching weather system to the punch. NASCAR and track officials have built a tentative schedule for today’s events at the NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour event. Competitors will have a 15-minute practice session at 12:15 p.m. ET, followed by Coors

Light Pole qualifying at 1 p.m. The Spring Classic 150 is scheduled to take the green flag at 2 p.m.

Andy Seuss was the fastest in practice, followed by Burt Myers.

Brian Loftin was third fastest in the 45-minute practice session completed prior to the inclement weather.

Vettel takes Formula One pole at Bahrain SAKHIR, Bahrain (AP) – Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull will start Formula One’s season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix from pole position, while Michael Schumacher will start in seventh place in his comeback with Mercedes.

Vettel set a fastest time of 1 minute, 54.101 seconds on Saturday to

edge Ferrari pair Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso, who have both won at the desert track.

Lewis Hamilton of McLaren will start fourth ahead of Nico Rosberg of Mercedes and Red Bull driver Mark Webber.

Seven-time champion Schumacher, racing for the first time in

three years, was 1.423 seconds off of Vettel’s pace, but edged ahead of defending champion Jenson Button in eighth for McLaren. “I just have to get into it,� said Schumacher, who will start from the same position he did on his debut at Belgium in 1991. “It’s challenging and that’s a good thing.�

IndyCar qualifying postponed until today SAO PAULO (AP) – Qualifying for the IndyCar season-opener on the streets of Sao Paulo was postponed Saturday because the main straight lacked enough grip to make racing safe.

Drivers ran practice sessions on Saturday, giving officials time to try to improve track conditions

overnight. Qualifying was rescheduled for this morning ahead of the race. Drivers complained that the temporary circuit for the inaugural Sao Paulo Indy 300 has severe bumps and was dangerous on the slick front straightaway.

The straight goes through a Sambadrome, a stadium-like venue that

stretches for about a third of a mile and is the only part of the track with concrete instead of asphalt. It is where the traditional Carnival parades take place every year.

The straightaway is where today’s 75-lap race is scheduled to start. Scott Dixon of New Zealand led both practice sessions.

Gardner-Webb rides spurt into finals ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

High Point University’s Jurica Hargraves and Winthrop’s Jessica Fansler tussle on the floor as the Panthers’ Frances Fields (top left) joins the fray during their Big South Women’s Tournament quarterfinal late Friday night at the Millis Center. The third-seeded Panthers worked overtime for a 68-65 victory in that game. HPU advanced to Saturday’s semifinal against second-seeded Liberty. The Flames prevailed in that contest 73-55.

Flames engulf Panthers, 73-55

BY EVAN LEPLER SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – If Friday night unfolded like a precious dream, then Saturday afternoon was the dreadfully undesired alarm-clock buzzer.

Ironically, the burning championship passions of High Point women’s hoops were doused by the red-hot Flames, who shot 62.5 percent in the second half to transform a close contest at the midway point into an easy 73-55 ride into the conference finals, where they will meet Gardner-Webb today at 2 p.m.

Liberty point guard Amber Mays scored a career-high 21 on 8-9 shooting, handing the Panthers a reality check after Erin Reynolds’ 25foot buzzer-beater on Friday night vaulted them past Winthrop.

Though HPU’s season could be over with a record of 17-14, if the

Big South title game loser receives an at-large bid to the big dance, the Panthers might earn an NIT berth.

“We didn’t shoot it well in the second half,” remarked High Point coach Tooey Loy. “And they wore us down. They’re big and strong. We were pretty close rebounding wise at half, but in the second half, they got too many offensive rebounds.”

Not only did the Flames make 15 of their 24 shots in the second stanza, Liberty made three of five threes and outrebounded the Panthers 1912. Big South scoring champion Devon Brown added 17 for the Flames, while reserve guard Dymond Morgan tallied a season-high 13.

The Panthers opened the game with intensity and led 28-20 with 4:35 left in the first, but a 13-4 finish to the half gave the Flames a 33-32 edge, and Jelena Antic’s threepointer with 12:33 to go in the game

stretched Liberty’s edge to double figures at 48-38.

“When they get a lead, they’re pretty tough,” said a disappointed Loy. “They can run that motion offense over-andover again. And they hit three three’s at the end of shot clocks that really took the wind out of our sails.”

Eight different Panthers scored between four and 10 points, with Jurica Hargraves providing the only double-digit output. LaTeisha Dean, Frances Fields, and Shamia Brown each chipped in with eight.

The Panthers nearly duplicated some final second magic at the tailend of the first half when Reynolds set up sharpshooter Mackenzie Maier for a wide-open three. With the Panthers down by one, the rainbow shot clanged off the back-iron as the buzzer blared. That dreaded buzzer.

The lead, and the game, belonged to Liberty the rest of the way.

HIGH POINT – A 14-2 second half run propels No. 1 Gardner-Webb past No. 5 Coastal Carolina 64-56 in the semifinals of the Big South Women’s Basketball Championship on Saturday at the Millis Center.

Gardner-Webb advances to the championship game for the second straight year and will play No. 2 Liberty today at 2 p.m. live on SportsSouth/MASN. After a back and forth game, the Lady Bulldogs took control and went on a 14-2 second half run led by eight points from Big South Player of the Year Margaret Roundtree to pull out to a 50-39 lead with 4:21 remaining.

Gardner-Webb used a 10-0 run over the first seven minutes of the first half behind Dominique Hudson’s six points to take the early lead.

Coastal Carolina countered with a 9-2 run of its own to cut the lead to 129 at the half way point of the opening half. Gardner-Webb’s Roundtree drained a jumper to extend the lead to 16-12 at the 7:24 mark, but the Chanticleers answered and took their first lead at 20-19 after two Sydnei Moss free throws with 2:05 remaining. The two teams traded baskets for the remainder of the opening stanza as Coastal took the 22-21 advantage in to intermission.

Coastal Carolina was led by Moss’ 13 points at the break, including 8-of-10 from the charity stripe.

The Lady Bulldogs were paced by Dominique Hudson’s

eight points. Both teams struggled from the floor in the first half as Gardner-Webb shot 29 percent from the floor on 8of-28 shooting, while the Coastal posted a 17 percent clip on 4-of-29 shooting. Gardner-Webb enjoyed a 14-0 advantage on points in the paint, while the Chanticleers were productive from the foul line knocking down 10 free throws.

Both teams came out on fire in the second half shooting a combined 50 percent from the floor on 5-of-10 shooting. The game went back and forth for the first six minutes of the half as the game was tied at 3030 after two Dominique Hudson free throws at the 14:10 mark. The second half saw seven lead changes with Coastal taking a 37-36 lead on Amanda Stull’s jumper at 9:21, but that would be CCU’s last lead as Gardner-Webb proved to much down the stretch.

Gardner-Webb was led

by Roundtree’s 20 points and 10 rebounds, while Dominique Hudson added 16 points. Moss finished with 19 points for the Chanticleers including 10-12 from foul line.

The Lady Bulldogs shot 37 percent from the floor (20-of-54), while Coastal Carolina knocked down 31 percent from the field (19-of-61) Gardner-Webb scored 16 points off turnovers compared to Coastal’s two.

Gardner-Webb head coach Rick Reeves will make his fifth appearance in the championship game after reaching the finals three times with Liberty (1997-98-99).

National scoring leader Aubrey Coleman struggled through a 4-for-20 shooting performance for the seventh-seeded

Cougars (19-15), but came up with a critical steal and fast-break layup in the final minute as they won their fourth game in as many days. Houston trailed by nine with 8 minutes to play, but came roaring back against the top-seeded Miners (26-6), who were riding their longest winning streak since their “Glory Road” run to the national title in 1966.

Randy Culpepper scored 20 points and Derrick Caracter added 18 for UTEP.

Blue Devils, Yellow Jackets target ACC championship

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

GREENSBORO – Given the answer given by Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt about his strategy for taking on Duke, Sunday may be an appropriate day for the ACC Tournament title game.

“I think I will pray,” Hewitt said. “We can defend and hope they don’t shoot the way they normally do. We’re one of the better defensive teams in the country (holding teams to 38 percent from the field) but we had instances in the last couple of games where we played good defense and we got torched.”

The Yellow Jackets have much more than a prayer, having split with the Blue Devils this season. They won Atlanta 71-67 but were run out of Cameron Indoor Stadium 86-67.

The Blue Devils have shooters in Kyle Singler and Jon Scheyer. They have size in the middle with 7-1 center Greg Zoubek that will help offset Georgia Tech’s power with 6-9 Gani Lawal and 6-10 Derrick Favors.

Duke also has a relentless defense which could cause fits for a team that has had trouble getting the ball inbounds and handling pressure in its wins over Maryland and N.C. State.

“I didn’t think our defense was great

in the second half up at Cameron,” Hewitt said. “But I think we will better and I hope our contesting their shots will knock them off track a little bit.

When they are making those 3s, they are one of the best four teams in the country.”

This time, the Jackets have the burden of playing four game to the Blue Devils’ three during the tournament.

Tech senior forward D’Andre Bell scoffed at fatigue becoming a factor for the Jackets. “What fatigue?” Bell said.

“It doesn’t exist in this game.”

N.C. State coach Sidney Lowe, who lost to the Jackets in the semifinals, knows about the fatigue factor from the four-day grind. His first Wolfpack team experienced it with a run from the first round into the finals against North Carolina in the 2007 tournament, “We know it was a factor in our game,” Lowe said. “But with that group, we had only six scholarship players.

When you are playing four games like this, and Paul knows what to do, you have to watch your guys closely.

Substitutions might come a little sooner to give some guys a breather.

But he knows his players. That’s the main thing, just watching.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Top-ranked Kansas bags Big 12 title THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AP

Duke’s Kyle Singler (12) goes to the hoop for two points as Miami’s Julian Gamble (45) defends during the second half of Saturday’s ACC Tournament semifinal in Greensboro. Singler finished with 27 points as the top-seeded Blue Devils survived for a 77-74 victory over the 12th-seeded Hurricanes.

Singler, Duke hold off Miami

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

GREENSBORO – The ability to forget the immediate pass enable Duke to cut through the chaos on Saturday.

After blowing a 12 –point lead to trail by three at the half, the top-seeded Blue Devils went on a decisive run in the middle stages of the second half and dispatched upstart 12th-seeded Miami 77-74 in the first game of the ACC Tournament semifinals.

Duke (28-5) will face Georgia Tech today at the Greensboro Coliseum as it goes for its ninth ACC championship in 12 years and its 18th overall.

“The first half was frazzled, very chaotic,” Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “At halftime, we didn’t talk about what happened. We told them to forget it because it was in the past.”

The Devils forgot immediately as Kyle Singler hit two 3-pointers to put Duke ahead for good at 38-35 just a minute into the second half. Miami remained close until Duke went on a 15-0 run that included Jon Scheyer hitting two 3s and a layup following a Nolan Smith steal plus Singler coming through with a layup and a 3-pointer.

Singler wound up pacing the Devils with 27 points and eight rebounds.

“In the second half, I just got the ball in some great spots to score using our bigs to get open,” Singler said.

After the run, the Hurricanes never got closer than five until DeQuan Jones hit a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to the final margin.

“Singler came in and took the game over,” said freshman guard Durand Scott, who led Miami with 21 points. “I think we just had a little breakdown as a team, but we all came together and fought back.”

Scheyer added 16 despite going just 4 for 10 from the floor. Smith added 12.

“Our defense, once we continue to get stops, that really gets our offense going,” Scheyer said. “During that stretch (in the first half), we got away from a little bit. And that’s the key to our team.”

Krzyzewski contributed to Miami’s spurt when he was called for a technical foul as he protested Nolan Smith getting called for traveling when he was bumped by a Miami player. Shortly afterwards, Krzyzewski ripped off his jacket after another call and started to throw to it to the floor before restraining himself.

“I don’ know why the technical was called on me,” Krzyzewski said. “I can’t read minds.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Sam Houston State wins Southland title KATY, Texas (AP) – Sam Houston State was knocked out of the Southland Conference tournament in the first round last year.

The Bearkats used that tough loss as motivation to make sure they’d stay at this season’s tournament a lot longer.

They reached their goal Saturday with Gilberto Clavell scoring 21 points to lead Sam Houston State to an easy 64-48 win over Stephen F. Austin for the conference’s automatic NCAA tournament berth.

Top-seeded Sam Houston State (25-7) earned its second NCAA tourna-

ment berth and first since 2003.

game. Kentucky (31-2) will play Mississippi State today, looking to add a 26th tournament title to the 44th regular season championship the Wildcats won in coach John Calipari’s first season. Scotty Hopson had 11 points for Tennessee (25-8), which snapped a fivegame winning streak.

(5) OHIO STATE 88, ILLINOIS 81 (2 OT) INDIANAPOLIS – Evan Turner scored 12 of his 31 points after regulation. The Big Ten player of the year finished with a triple double – 31 points, 10 rebounds, 10 turnovers.

Bobcats sign G Hughes; Wallace’s MRI negative CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Charlotte Bobcats signed veteran guard Larry Hughes to help with depth in the backcourt as they attempt to reach the playoffs for the first time.

Also, an MRI on forward Gerald Wallace’s left ankle on Saturday revealed no fractures or ligament ruptures. But Wallace likely will miss Sunday’s game at Orlando after being injured on Friday.

General manager Rod Higgins announced this month they wouldn’t sign Hughes because of his broken finger. But the injury has healed sooner than expected, and Hughes could be ready to play in about a week. He walked through plays and participated in shooting drills in practice Saturday.

Charlotte has been looking for help in the

backcourt after trading Flip Murray to Chicago last month in a deal that brought forward Tyrus Thomas to the Bobcats. Coach Larry Brown coached Hughes in Philadelphia after the 76ers took him with the eighth pick in the 1998 draft.

The 31-year-old Hughes, who has averaged just over 14 points in his career, was traded by New York to Sacramento last month, then waived by the Kings. He’s also played for Golden State, Washington, Cleveland and Chicago.

The Bobcats are hopeful Wallace could return within the week after he rolled his ankle on a hard foul in the closing second of the first half in the win over the Clippers. Wallace is averaging 18.5 points.

SPORTS THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, MARCH 14, 2010 www.hpe.com

A trick even you can do O

ne of the amazing things about writing this column is how many people who don’t shoot, hunt, fish or train dogs for hunting, read it.

I am truly grateful that you enjoy the column and tell me on a regular basis.

This week has nothing to do with hunting, shooting, or fishing.

This week, I’ve been working on something that has nothing to do with outdoor pursuits yet it ties in with something I write about a lot, training Larry, my now 23 month old Lab. I’ve been writing about Larry and our journey to become hunting companions since he was seven weeks old and I picked him up in Holland Michigan.

He’s everything I hoped he would be.

Of course, we’re not finished. Larry has a lot to learn about working birds and about how to act under certain situations, but he’s already an exceptional dog.

Larry is sweet natured, he likes other dogs, he’s convinced that everyone wants to pet him and goes out of his way to oblige. He’s a quick learner, enthusiastic in the field, and yet laid back in many ways. My previous dog, Ernie was a fireball. He was full of energy, didn’t particularly like other dogs, (I don’t think he ever knew he was a dog) and focused so much on me or the hunt he often ignored other people. It’s hard to compare Larry and Ernie. I still miss Ernie, he was the greatest dog I ever owned and I was sure Larry would never measure up to fill Ernie’s shoes, but one never knows.

I think what makes dog ownership so special is the level of devotion one receives. Ernie did, and now, Larry does, see me as the most important thing in the universe. That’s just the way dogs are when you develop a strong bond.

For me, that’s gratifying.

This Sunday, Larry and I will be doing something that gave Ernie and me great pleasure. We’re doing Children’s Church. This will be Larry’s debut in what the kids call “Big Church.”

We’ll do about three minutes with Larry demonstrating self restraint and development while I talk. It’s a big step in Larry’s life of learning to deal with social situations as well as being able to find and retrieve game birds.

One of the things Ernie and I used to do for the kids was the old bone on the nose trick. It involved me putting a dog biscuit on Ernie’s nose and him sitting

there with it balanced until I gave him the OK. I would let the kids say OK on the second round and he’d ignore them, only getting the biscuit when I gave him the command.

After a couple of biscuits, I’d ask if any of the kids SPORTS wanted to do it and when my volunteer came up, Dick I’d say, “Now for this to Jones work, you have to hold ■■■ your head real still,” while I tried to balance the biscuit on their nose. It always cracked the other kids up.

This week, I began the process of teaching Larry that trick. By Friday we had it down pat and we used less than 25 dog biscuits to get there. While most who read this column aren’t training a dog to find and retrieve birds, I think many would like to teach their dog a trick like this. It really didn’t take more than an hour total for Larry to learn it and the method will work on almost anything you want to teach your dog, just be patient.

On our first attempt last Sunday, I had to hold Larry’s head with both hands to get the biscuit on his nose at all. I positioned him facing out from between my legs and made him calm by petting him. I broke a biscuit in half, held his head, and put the biscuit on his nose for just a few seconds before letting him have it. I said, “OK” as I let him have the biscuit. I petted him some more, calmed him down, and repeated the process three more times telling him “wait, wait” as he struggled to get the biscuit.

For this to work, Larry had to know what the word “wait” means. Since he was a puppy, I’ve been teaching him that. If your dog doesn’t know “wait” you can teach him the word by holding him back from his food every day while you repeat the word. Then, say, “OK” and turn him loose. Do this until the dog will sit while you prepare his food and only eat when you give him the OK. For the first two days, I had to hold his head the whole time while holding the biscuit to his nose and it was all I could do to keep him from getting the biscuit from me, (remember, Larry weighs 86 pounds). It was somewhat chaotic, but I remained calm and petted him a lot during the process. The trick

was to let him know that, if he would just do what I wanted, he’d get the biscuit. If he managed to get the biscuit in his mouth before I said OK, I quickly opened his mouth and retrieved the slimy biscuit before he could crunch it up. We repeated this process three times a day.

By Tuesday, I could keep my hands on his head and keep him positioned so the biscuit would balance there for a few seconds, not more than two or three. I would then say, “OK” and let him have the biscuit. The first try of each session was more awkward than the later tries but he was learning the routine. As I’ve said many times, you can’t really teach a dog anything because you can’t talk to him. You have to put him in a position to learn on his own. He learned that he got the biscuit sooner when he cooperated. He learned that trying to eat it before I said OK meant I would dig it out of his mouth before he could eat it.

By Thursday, I put the biscuit on his nose and allowed him to hold it without my hands being on his head. I only made him wait a couple of seconds. I gradually increased the “wait” time and, when he cheated, I grabbed the biscuit out of his mouth before he could eat it. By Friday, he was holding the biscuit for 30 or so seconds. Now, all we have to do is get his skill level at snapping the biscuit out of the air without dropping it.

Tricks like this have no use in Larry’s hunting career, but they do give us more of a bond and make him more versatile. While a lot of effort can be spent teaching Larry to fetch and find game birds, anyone can do the old dog biscuit on the nose trick, you just have to hold your head real still…

If you want to see what can happen if you really work at training a dog and put the effort in, go to Youtube and type in Skidboot. Larry and I have a long way to go.

HIGH POINT – Senior Max Fulginiti tripled to left center in the eighth inning, scoring two runs to put the High Point University baseball team ahead of Eastern Kentucky 5-4. HPU would go on to beat the Colonels 6-4, improving to 10-3 on the season, while EKU falls to 6-6.

Corey Swickle earned the win in relief, improving to 3-0 on the season and Mikel Rodenberg picked up his fourth save of the year.

With the Panthers down 4-3 in the eighth, Nate Roberts led off with a single through the left side.

Kyle Mahoney bunted and a throwing error by the EKU pitcher allowed Mahoney to reach safely and move to second and Roberts advanced to third. Fulginiti took Paul Duncan’s 2-0 pitch to the gap in left center, scoring both runners and putting High Point ahead 5-4. Steve Antolik’s bloop single over the second baseman, scored Fulginiti and gave HPU the 6-4 advantage.

“The pitcher fell behind 2-0 and I was looking for the fast ball,” Fulginiti said. “I just wanted to get the barrel of the bat on it. It was a pretty good pitch to hit and I didn’t miss it.”

Fulginiti went 3-4 on the day with two runs scored and two RBIs. Rodenberg pitched a scoreless ninth inning.

“This was one of the toughest wins we’ve had all season,” said head coach Craig Cozart. “I will say again that this is a very strong Eastern Kentucky team and they have a toughness in the way they play the game. Part of growing as a team is learning to win and we have managed to win two very opposite games this weekend.”

High Point will go for the sweep of EKU today at 1 p.m. Freshman Jared Avidon will make the start for High Point and Anthony Bazzani will pitch for EKU. In a game that ended late Friday night, HPU senior Jamie Serber improved to 2-0 on the season and Murray White IV went 5-for-5, extending his hitting streak to 12 games, as the Panthers outslugged Eastern Kentucky 25-16.

Every HPU starter got a hit in the game.

Serber went 61⁄3 innings, giving up eight runs on two hits with four strikeouts.

White finished with three RBIs and four runs score before he was replaced at third base by freshman Kyle Wigmore, who got his first collegiate hit in the game.

After four months of training, ‘The Lucky 13’ are ready to run

BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – Less than a year after suffering a heart attack, Sandy Hand will run a half marathon.

So will Andrea Nance, a diabetic who requires an insulin pump to maintain normal blood sugar levels.

Also running will be Brooks Nash, a formerly out-of-shape insurance agent who has lost 24 pounds – and counting – in his quest for a healthier lifestyle.

They’re all participants in “The Lucky 13 Challenge,” a fitness program designed to help 13 physically unfit men and women train to run 13 miles – specifically, the North Carolina Half Marathon, which will

’The idea is to show people this is something everyone can do with a little organization and dedication.’

Steve Golinski Exercise physiologist be held Saturday in High Point, in conjunction with the North Carolina Marathon.

“Our main goal was to take the everyday person, whether they were doing any exercising or not, and bring them to a point where they could finish this half marathon,” says Steve Golinski, an exercise physiologist with The Fitness Center at High Point Regional Health System, which is sponsoring the challenge. “The idea is to show people this is something everyone can do with a little organization and dedication.”

The journey began in November, when would-be participants wrote letters explaining why they wanted to join the challenge. Golinski selected the winners and provided them with a four-month training regimen that would prepare them for Saturday’s run.

“They were apprehensive,” Golinski says, “but I’ve tried to reinforce that if they followed the plan, things would take care of themselves. Their job was just to keep working at it week by week.”

And that’s what they’ve done.

Except for a few individuals who had to drop out for various reasons, the “Lucky 13” participants have trained hard and have the results to prove it.

Consider Sandy Hand, for example, a 45-year-old High Point man who suffered a heart attack last June. Since joining the health system’s Heart Strides program for cardiac rehabilitation – and then being chosen for “The Lucky 13” – Hand has lost 41 pounds and lowered his body-fat percentage from 33 to 22. He has significantly reduced the amount of blood-pressure medicine he requires, and he has “10 times more energy.”

He ran 13 miles last Sunday and believes he’s ready for the half marathon.

“It’s been difficult,” he says, explaining that he’s had to deal with blisters, sore knees and even the agony of becoming a morning person so he would be able to fit in his workouts. “I definitely admire people who can run 26 miles, much less 13, but this is a challenge I really wanted to do. I knew it would help with some drastic lifestyle changes I needed to make.”

Andrea Nance, a 46-year-old Thomasville woman, also found “The Lucky 13” to be a daunting challenge, but one she embraced. A diabetic for the past 26 years, she wanted to begin exercising more to take better care of her body.

“I wanted to be a more healthy me, and this was kind of a jump-start for me to do that,” Nance says. “I didn’t even think I would be chosen because of my disease, so I was thrilled to be chosen. This has been just a wonderful opportunity for me to get the proper training, and proper training is so key in any type of exercise program.”

Following Golinski’s training regimen, Nance has lost about 13 pounds and has significantly lowered the amount of insulin her body requires. Her longest training run has been 12 miles, and she feels confident about Saturday’s race.

“Sometimes I’m not sure if I’ve bitten off more than I can chew, but I think that’s just nerves,” she says. “I’m confident that with the training I’ve had, I’ll be able to cross the finish line.”

Brooks Nash feels equally confident. The 45-year-old Trinity man has lost 24 pounds since

RUNNERS, 5E

To help those with the demanding job of taking care of loved ones, the Randolph Hospital Community Health Foundation has awarded several grants that have supported projects to enhance awareness of self-care issues and knowledge of needs associated with caring for those with serious illness.

One resource available to loved ones with family members in the hospital is Caregiver Kits.

Each “kit,” which is essentially a tote bag, contains a variety of items including a blanket, toothbrush, toothpaste, brush or comb, deodorant and various reading materials along with other necessities family members need while they are staying with a loved one in the hospital.

For caregivers who do not have a loved one in the hospital but need emotional support and additional education, a Caregivers Support Group is available free of charge at Randolph Hospital.

The group meets on the third Thursday of each month from 6:30 to 8:15 p.m. at the Home Health and Community Services Building at 341 N. Fayetteville St. in Asheboro. For more information, contact Helen D. Milleson, case manager/caregiver facilitator at (336) 629-8896 or (800) 4288896, Ext. 5284.

Sunday, March 14, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Taylor Hanson, 27; Megan Follows, 42; Billy Crystal, 62; Quincy Jones, 77 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You’ll take on too much and make promises that are next to impossible to fulfill.

Pace yourself and don’t be afraid to offer less. Take the creative approach, offering the unique, and you will appeal to people able to offer you more. It’s about quality, not quantity. Once you realize that, you can pick and choose what you want to pursue. Your numbers are 8, 13, 16, 23, 35, 40, 48 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Deception is prominent. You must be suspicious of anyone trying too hard to be and do whatever you want. Motives will be underhanded so, before you divulge personal information, get to know the person asking the questions. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can get whatever you want from the people you deal with if you are diplomatic. Your ability to find solutions and apply what you know will win you the support you need to follow your own path. Don’t let a family problem escalate. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can expect to get backlash if you haven’t been completely honest with the people you are dealing with. Problems will mount if you have taken on too much or promised the impossible. A poor personal choice will affect you professionally, as well. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): There is nothing too difficult for you to accomplish if you put your mind to it. Someone may be jealous of you but, if you are complimentary, you will bypass any opposition. Added responsibilities will show how capable you are. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Spend time fixing things up around at home. A financial opportunity will allow you to turn an innovative idea into a moneymaking venture. Don’t let someone you love push you around or hold you back. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Personal opportunities are available. Stay calm and take advantage of what’s offered. An interesting conversation will allow you to read between the lines regarding how someone feels about you. A partnership can help you accomplish more. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Plan your day around activities you enjoy. Give more thought to your own emotional and physical well-being. You can make some significant headway regarding your professional goals. A love relationship should be nurtured. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Networking at industry events will lead to someone who will encourage you to pursue a creative project you’ve been considering. You will realize what you’ve been missing if you look at the lifestyle of someone else. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Someone will lead you on in order to find out personal information about you or your family. Emotional situations will escalate if you don’t concentrate on what’s going on. If you embellish the facts, you will be blamed. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Learn from past mistakes and you will bypass a situation that can cause personal problems. A change of plans will be beneficial if you are quick to take action and make the necessary small changes. Your savvy, precise way will earn you points and improve your reputation. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Facing situations you have been ignoring will enable you to move forward now. A chance to work toward old goals will help you get over some of your fears about failure. You have plenty to offer. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your emotions will be difficult to control. Once you have let everyone know your position, it will be easier to figure out what you should do next. Don’t be afraid to let go of the past so you can move on personally, emotionally and physically. ★★★

Friends are chilly toward couple with rocky marriage D

ear Abby: “Oscar� and I have been married for three years. We have had many ups and downs and a few near-separations, but we’re now on a better path and working hard on our relationship.

Because my friends have seen the rocky times Oscar and I have been through, they are not as nice to him as I’d like. In particular, this applies to my best friend, “Tish,� and her husband.

I have tried many times to get us together on double dates, but they always refuse. They socialize with other couples, but refuse to associate with Oscar and me beyond birthday and holiday celebrations.

I’d love to have my friends and my husband all together for other social functions. What can I do, if anything? – In The MiddleiIn South Carolina Dear In The Middle: Frankly, you can forget having the idealized relationship with Tish and her husband that you’re looking for.

When you confided all the ups and downs you were experiencing with Oscar to them, they lost respect for him. Whether your husband will ever earn it back is questionable.

Sometimes that’s the price you pay when you unload your marital problems on your friends instead

of working them out with your husband and a counselor.

Dear Abby: I recently canceled a party that has been an annual event.

ADVICE I did it because, of 20 invitations Dear I mailed out, Abby only three indiâ– â– â– viduals bothered to respond by the requested RSVP date. This has happened before, and I am tired of trying to guess how many will attend.

Some years I have been left with too much food, which went to waste. Other years there wasn’t enough to go around. Now, some of the invitees are upset. I am getting comments like, “I was going to reply,� or “You know we ALWAYS come, so we didn’t think we needed to reply.� I have also received e-mails bemoaning the fact that I have ruined what was always a fun event.

I refuse to allow them to bully me into throwing the party or feel like an ogre for canceling it. And no, I am not asking for advice. I just needed a place to vent about the cluelessness that seems rampant in our society. – Not A Psychic in St. Louis, Mo.

Dear Not A Psychic: You’re not asking for advice, so I won’t offer any. However, I’m glad you wrote to vent because that’s what I’m here for, and it gives me a chance to remind readers that when they receive an invitation with “RSVP� on it, the RSVP means they should inform their prospective host as soon as possible whether or not they will attend. Not to do so is rude.

Dear Abby: My work with seniors often places me in contact with caregivers for loved ones with Alzheimer’s. One woman told me about a gift she received from her son that I think is worth passing along.

Abby, he gave her “Tuesdays.�

He boxed the word, wrapped it nicely and ceremoniously presented it to her. Now, every Tuesday, she can participate in her church group without having to worry about rushing home to take care of her husband. She can have lunch with her friends, or do whatever she wants. She said that it’s the best gift she has ever received. – Jane in Menlo Park, Calif.

Dear Jane: Her son’s gift shows compassion and insight.

What he really gave his mother was the gift of peace of mind, and it is one that may add years – and quality – to her life.

Jamaica Music museum to show Marley, Tosh KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) – Jamaica plans to open a music museum next year that officials say will feature rare pieces from the island’s music history, such as the sole album that the late reggae star Bob Marley produced before he gained international fame.

Artifacts will include a cassette tape in which another reggae great, Peter Tosh, jams a blues song with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of

the Rolling Stones, museum curator Herbie Miller said Sunday.

The tape was recorded in June 1977 in New York City, said Miller, who was Tosh’s former manager.

It will be placed alongside the album “Escape from Babylon� by American singer Martha Velez that Marley produced in 1976.

The museum is requesting donations to help preserve Jamaica’s vibrant music history. The

island’s music preservation took a major hit two years ago when officials discovered that a massive collection of 1970s music, including original recordings by Marley and Tosh, disappeared from the archives of the former Jamaica Broadcasting Corp.

The collection has not been found.

Miller said a date has not been set for the opening of the museum.

Family should always come before career Dr. Dobson: There’s nothing wrong with having a passion and a dream. It should, however, be kept in balance with other valuable components of your life – your family and your relationship with God being chief among them.

Let me illustrate that need to keep the various components of our lives in perspective. I read an article in the Los Angeles Times about a man named J.R. Buffington. His goal in life was to produce lemons of record-breaking size from the tree in his backyard. He came up with a formula to do just that.

He fertilized the tree with ashes from the fireplace, some rabbit-goat manure, a few rusty nails and plenty of water.

That spring, the scrawny little tree produced two gigantic lemons, one weighing over five pounds. But every other lemon on the tree was shriveled

and misshapen. Mr. Buffington is still working on his formula.

Isn’t that the way it is in life? Great investments in a particular endeavor tend to rob others of their potential. I’d rather have FOCUS a tree covered with juicy lemons than a recordON THE breaking but freakish FAMILY crop, wouldn’t you? Balance is the word. It is the Dr. James key to successful living ...

Dobson and parenting. ■■■Husbands and wives who fill their lives with never-ending volumes of work are too exhausted to take walks together, to share their deeper feelings, to understand and meet each other’s needs.

This breathless pace predominates in millions of households, leaving every member of the family frazzled and irritable. Husbands are moonlighting to bring home more money. Wives are on their own busy career track. Their children are often ignored, and life

goes speeding by in a deadly routine.

Even some grandparents are too busy to keep the grandkids. I see this kind of overcommitment as the quickest route to the destruction of the family. And there simply must be a better way.

Some friends of mine recently sold their house and moved into a smaller and less expensive place just so they could lower their payments and reduce the hours required in the workplace.

That kind of downward mobility is almost unheard of today – it’s almost un-American. But when we reach the end of our lives and we look back on the things that mattered most, those precious relationships with people we love will rank at the top of the list.

If friends and family will be a treasure to us then, why not live like we believe it today? That may be the best advice I have ever given anyone – and the most difficult to implement.

So keep your dream and your passion. Work hard to achieve the success you crave. But don’t let it become a five-pound lemon that destroys the rest of your crop. You’ll regret it if you do.

Question: What are the most common causes of depression in women?

Dr. Dobson: I asked that question of more than ten thousand women who completed a questionnaire entitled, “Sources of Depression in Women.�

The most frequently reported concern was low self-esteem. More than 50 percent of an initial test group placed this problem at the top of the list, and 80 percent put it in the top five.

These were primarily young, healthy women with seemingly happy marriages, which should have produced greater contentedness. Nevertheless, the majority struggled with feelings of inadequacy and a lack of confidence.

That finding is rather typical of American women in all age categories and in various economic strata.

DR. DOBSON is founder and chairman emeritus of the nonprofit organization Focus on the Family, Colorado Springs, Colo. 80995 (www.focusonthefamily.org). Questions and answers are excerpted from “Complete Marriage and Family Home Reference Guide� and “Bringing Up Boys� (Tyndale House).

Medicines for Alzheimer’s slow mental decline D

ear Dr. Donohue: Will you address the treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, prescription-wise? I was told that nothing can help Alzheimer’s patients. It was suggested that kindness and love be shown to a patient. – T.W. Brain cell death, brain shrinkage, the infiltration of a substance called amyloid into and between brain cells and the accumulation in brain cells of a peculiar protein called tau are responsible for the mental changes of Alzheimer’s disease.

Those changes include memory loss, the inability to retain new information and follow simple directions, and difficulty performing routine calculations, like balancing a checkbook. Medicines don’t restore such losses.

They can slow down the inevitable deterioration of this process.

One family of medicines increases the concentration of the brain chemical acetylcholine. It facilitates communication and the passage of information between brain cells. Aricept (donepezil), Razadyne (galantamine) and Exelon (rivastigmine) are the three drugs in this family. Aricept has the convenience of being a once-daily medicine.

Exelon comes as an oral tablet, an oral liquid and a skin patch. The skin patch makes it easy to administer to those with trouble swallowing.

Namenda (memantine) is the fourth Alzheimer’s drug, and it works differently. It counters the effect of a body product called glutamate. Glutamate, in excess, overstimulates certain brain cells and contributes to Alzheimer’s symptoms.

This drug is used for moderate to severe illness, and it can be used in combination with one of the first three drugs mentioned.

Other medicines also are useful. If a patient is hallucinating, for example, medicines can get rid of the troubling hallucinations. Furthermore, treatment other than medicine is important.

Physical therapy and occupational therapy keep Alzheimer’s patients mobile and prevent falls.

Stimulating activities, like working crossword puzzles or playing challenging games like bridge, are very helpful in the early stages of this

illness; they keep the brain functioning at its maximum.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I sent for Dr. Paul the booklet Donohue on Al■■■zheimer’s disease. On page 19, it suggests that high doses of vitamin E might slow down the progress of the disease.

I showed this to my doctor, and he said: “This has been debunked.� The high doses of vitamin E are not cheap.

Is what he said true? Has it been debunked? – L.G.

HEALTH

Your doctor is right.

Vitamin E doesn’t work for Alzheimer’s disease.

I have had that statement deleted from the Alzheimer’s booklet. It was written at a time when vitamin E looked

somewhat promising. Its promise wasn’t fulfilled.

Dear Dr. Donohue: Recently I read an article stating that the manufacturers of some products that hold dentures in place are being sued because of inadequate warnings of the dangers of zinc overuse. It can lead to copper deficiency, which causes nerve damage. When I read this, I checked my multivitamin. Each tablet contains 11 mg of zinc. Is this a safe amount? – J.H.

ertson y Rob Tro Enterprises at

an’s Wom u Cl b

I’m not familiar with the suit, nor am I familiar with a copper deficiency causing nerve damage.

High doses of zinc taken for long periods can decrease copper absorption, which can lead to anemia and might produce brain dysfunction.

The recommended daily dose of zinc is 11 mg for adult men and 8 mg for adult women.

High doses are ones above 40 mg. Your zinc dose is quite safe.

With view of ground zero, hotel hopes to attract tourists

BY SAMANTHA GROSS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

N

EW YORK – Looking down into the construction site covering the 16 acres where the World Trade Center once stood, some might see a place shadowed by death.

But Cheryl Palmer sees a rebirth – and a business opportunity.

She’s vice president of Club Quarters Inc., the company opening the World Center Hotel – and as far as she’s concerned, the property’s location on the edge of the site of the Sept. 11 attacks is a selling point.

“People choose to be here because they want to be close to it. They want to feel it, they want to celebrate. They want to remember,” she said, standing by an open-air patio overlooking the

site. “We have a very accessible view on it.”

The hotel, which began taking reservations last month, offers some rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows that open directly onto the construction.

Guests and members will have access to the restaurant patio with views of giant cranes, jackhammers and metal scaffolding.

It seems to be the first area hotel to use its proximity to the site as a marketing strategy. The carefully chosen name telegraphs the hotel’s location to prospective guests. And visitors to the hotel Web site are greeted by construction

photographs and memorial images.

The Millenium Hilton nearby offers similar views from most of its rooms – which were devastated in the collapse of the twin towers and then rebuilt in the following years. With 85 percent of the hotel’s current employees carrying with them memories of working there at the time of the attacks, it still feels too soon to incorporate ground zero into its marketing plan, said Jan Larsen, general manager of the hotel.

“People are sensitive to maybe being perceived as taking advantage of a tragedy by utilizing that in any kind of promotional information,” Larsen said. “We still get customers here who didn’t realize we were across the street from ground zero, and they get emotional about it.”

Some, Larsen said, say that had they realized the location of the hotel, they would not have chosen to stay there.

But Club Quarters is making a bet that, for many, the site of the attacks is already becoming more what it will be – and less a shadow of what it was. The scar of metal and concrete gated off from the rest of the city will soon be brightened by trees to be planted before the 10th anniversary of the attacks, Palmer is quick to note. And the public memorial is set to open in 2011.

“They will have all those mixed emotions.

But I think at the end of the day what people leave here with is the rebuilding,” Palmer said.

Driving up to the hotel,

Cheryl Palmer looks out a window of the World Center Hotel at the One World Trade Center construction site in New York.

Greg McKinless was excited to see how close to the construction he would be, he said as he checked in one day last week.

“I thought, ‘Gee, wouldn’t it be neat to be up on the sixth or seventh floor and really see the work in progress?’ ” the Baltimore salesman said. “You could say it’s depressing, but you could also say it’s been nine years, the Freedom Tower is going up and there’s going to be a memorial.

We’re looking toward the future.”

Pancake restaurant celebrates 50 years

BY JOE EDWARDS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

N

ASHVILLE, Tenn.

– With the majesty of the Smoky Mountains as a backdrop, the Pancake Pantry in Gatlinburg has been serving locals and visitors alike for 50 years.

Located in an endless row of T-shirt shops, candy stores and hotels, it’s offered a tasty start for tourists in the resort town before they head out to play miniature golf, explore a quiet mountain trail or try to spot an elusive black bear.

It’s easy to spot on busy U.S. 441, the town’s main street: Just look for a line of people waiting outside with fidgety anticipation.

Inside, patrons attack piles of pancakes with the persistence of a woodpecker.

The restaurant touts

itself as the oldest pancake house in Tennessee.

It turns 50 on March 17, and will celebrate by using the original menu and charging 1960 prices – mostly under $1.

“After 50 years, we’re serving our fourth generation,” says owner Jim Gerding. “Kids who ate here 45 years ago, now bring their great-grandkids. We are still feeding these same families.”

“I don’t know what they do but the pancakes are better than any place else,” gushed Ron Byars of Gatlinburg, who had eight silver dollar pancakes. “I’ve eaten other places, but these are altogether different.”

The lines at the restaurant are legendary in the resort town that’s the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, where 9.4 million tourists visit

GATLINBURG DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM | AP

Waitress Robin Plunkett takes orders at the Pancake Pantry in Gatlinburg, Tenn. yearly. The wait usually is around 20 minutes for one of the valuable 190 seats, but customers have been known to stand outside for an hour.

The experience is pure Americana, embraced by mountain mist, where you feast on walletfriendly food served with down-home accents.

If you decide to apply for retirement benefits before your full retirement age (as early as age 62), your benefits will be reduced. For example, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it would work if your full retirement age is 66.

If you start your retirement benefits at age 62, your monthly benefit amount is reduced by about 25 percent. The reduction for starting benefits at age: â&#x20AC;˘ 63 is about 20 percent; â&#x20AC;˘ 64 is about 13.3 percent; and â&#x20AC;˘ 65 is about 6.7 percent.

ADVICE 6E www.hpe.com SUNDAY, MARCH 14, 2010 THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE

Spot-on flea/tick meds may offer hope for mange D

ear Dr. Fox: I own a male black pug, rescued from a puppy mill. The first 13 months of his life were spent in misery with demodectic mange. He would be off ivermectin for about a week and then back on for three weeks. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure you can imagine how much he hated receiving the medicine orally.

About 14 months ago, my vet read an article about ProMeris (amitraz and metaflumizone). I know you do not believe in putting flea/tick medication on dogs, but here in the Midwest, they cannot enjoy a life outdoors without it. ProMeris saved my dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. Each episode of mange was getting worse and worse. The vet told me that some dogs with this condition become hairless and have to be euthanized.

After using ProMeris, he is now healthy and has a beautiful coat. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; D.W., St. Louis, Mo. Dear D.W.: Demodectic mange, as you know firsthand, is a distressing and disfiguring canine skin parasite that can be difficult to eradicate.

I am opposed to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;preventiveâ&#x20AC;? application of spot-on formulations to kill fleas and ticks out-of-season in states that have cold winters and flea-and-tick die-off, because of the harmful side effects of these drugs. More than 40,000 adverse reactions in pets were reported to the FDA in 2008 (visit www.biospotvictims.org for details). But when it comes to mange, especially demodectic and where the infestation is extensive and oral drops of ivermectin are ineffectual, a product like Fort Dodgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ProMeris seems to offer hope. I would like to hear of other readersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experiences with this product, a spot-on combination of insecticide and acaricide. The best preventions, of course, are good nutrition and hygiene.

Dear Dr. Fox: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard that tuna is bad for cats, but there are many kinds of canned cat food that have â&#x20AC;&#x153;tunaâ&#x20AC;? on the label. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the truth? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; G.M., Washington, D.C. Dear G.M.: Manufactured cat foods are notoriously mislabeled. Read the small print. A â&#x20AC;&#x153;tuna dinnerâ&#x20AC;? isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all tuna â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it could include other fish, chicken byproducts, meat byproducts and heaven knows what else.

While some cats are allergic to fish, others become addicted, especially when given a taste of canned tuna, and they turn up their noses

at their regular food. I joke that regular feeding of tuna turns cats into therANIMAL mometers because of DOCTOR the mercury content Dr. Michael in fish. But Fox on a more â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; serious note, mercury residues can cause neurological problems; and flame retardants and other chemical contamination of seafood may be a factor in feline hyperthyroidism.

Regular consumption of tuna can lead to painful muscular weakness called steatitis or yellow fat disease. This disease is caused by vitamin E deficiency and unsaturated fats from the fish being oxidized into a substance called ceroid. This gives the catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body fat a yellow-brown pigmentation, triggering an inflammatory reaction that can make it painful for cats to be handled, even petted.

Tuna is also low in such essential nutrients as taurine and has too little calcium and too much phosphorus. It contains an enzyme that destroys vitamin B1 (thiamin), and deficient cats can develop neurological problems, including a staggering gait and seizures â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a condition called polioencephalomalacia, which is fatal if left untreated.

The overfishing, dolphin-killing, sea-life-depleting seafood industry notwithstanding â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that includes the harvesting of whale food such as krill to feed farm animals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; lay off the tuna for catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake!

Can you tell me if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing more harm than good by waiting to treat him with chemo? Is there another alternative? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; D.F., Trumbull, Conn.

Dear D.F.: I would vote on the side of the

cautious â&#x20AC;&#x153;wait and see.â&#x20AC;?

While chemotherapy (with or without Prednisone) could lead to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cure,â&#x20AC;? your catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immune system seems to be doing a good job all by itself. So it may be best to do nothing at this stage.

This entails avoiding any stress in your catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life -- such as getting another cat, having to board your cat, getting booster vaccinations, chemotherapy or spot-on anti-flea treatments.

Considering your catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

age and happy disposition, I would do nothing more than add a few drops of top-quality fish oil to his daily diet, like Nordic Naturals or New Chapterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wholemega human dietary supplement.

Dear Dr. Fox: I have a 13-year-old male cat I adopted about 10 years ago. He has recently been diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, which was found through routine blood work and which I am told is rare.

He is asymptomatic and is a happy cat. His recent ultrasound came back normal, showing no problems with his lymph nodes or internal organs. I am reluctant to start him on a course of Leukeran/Prednisone because he has no symptoms. Two veterinarians (both in the same group that has treated him) have differing opinions on the proper course of treatment. One agrees with me that we should wait; the other feels itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to start him on the chemotherapy before he begins to exhibit some symptoms, when the leukemia will be more difficult to get under control. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m told cats tolerate Leukeran rather well with minimal side effects.

LEGAL BACKGROUND

----

AP

Greg Dement (left) is handed a Starbucks coffee drink as he sits with a handgun strapped to his belt while looking on at an anti-gun rally in Seattle.

Starbucks has been one of many retailers targeted by the “open-carry” arm of the gun-rights movement, which advocates that gun owners carry visible weapons as they go about their daily business. In most states, it’s legal, and most retailers, Starbucks included, quietly allow it.

Firing line Supreme Court scrutinizes state, local gun control

BY MARK SHERMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

WASHINGTON – Gun control advocates think, if not pray, they can win by losing when the Supreme Court decides whether the constitutional right to possess guns serves as a check on state and local regulation of firearms.

The justices will be deciding whether the Second Amendment – like much of the rest of the Bill of Rights – applies to states as well as the federal government. It’s widely believed they will say it does.

But even if the court strikes down handgun bans in Chicago and its suburb of Oak Park, Ill., that are at issue in arguments heard recently, it could signal that less severe rules or limits on guns are permissible.

The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence is urging the court not to do anything that would prevent state and local governments “from enacting the reasonable laws they desire and need to protect their families and communities from gun violence.”

By some estimates, about 90 million people in the U.S. own a total of some 200 million guns.

Roughly 30,000 people in the United States died each year from guns; more

than half of them are suicides. An additional 70,000 are wounded.

The new lawsuits were begun almost immediately after the court’s blockbuster ruling in 2008 that struck down the District of Columbia’s handgun ban. In that case, the court ruled for the first time that individuals have a right to keep guns for self-defense and other purposes. Because the nation’s capital is a federal enclave, that ruling applied only to federal laws.

The challenges to the Chicago area laws, which are strikingly similar to the Washington law, are part of an aggressive push by gun rights proponents in the courts and state legislatures.

Courts are considering many gun laws following the justice’s 2008 decision.

Massachusetts’ highest state court is examining the validity of a state law requiring gun owners to lock weapons in their homes.

Two federal appeals courts have raised questions about gun possession convictions of people who previously had been convicted of domestic violence misdemeanors. A suit in Washington challenges the capital’s ban on carrying loaded guns on public streets.

Lawmakers in several states are pushing for proposals favored by the National Rifle Association and other gun rights groups.

The Virginia Legislature is considering repealing a law that limits handgun purchases to one a month. That law was enacted in 1993 because Virginia was the No. 1 supplier of guns used in crimes in other states. A sepa-

Chicago firefighter Annette NanceHolt, and her husband Chicago Police Officer Ronald Holt, recall the death of their son Blair to gun violence. rate proposal in Virginia would allow people with a concealed-weapon permit to take hidden guns into restaurants that sell alcohol, as long as those patrons don’t drink.

Chicago is defending its gun laws at the high court.

Mayor Richard Daley said a ruling against his city would spawn even more suits nationwide and lead to more gun violence.

“How many more of our citizens must needlessly die because guns are too easily available in our society?” Daley said at a Washington news conference last week that also included the parents of a Chicago teenager who was shot on a bus as he headed home from school.

Annette Nance-Holt said her only child, 16-year-old

Blair Holt, shielded his friend when a gang member boarded a bus and began shooting at rival gang members.

“You might ask, ‘What good is Chicago’s handgun law if so many of our young people are still being shot?’ ” Nance-Holt said. “All I can say is, imagine how many more would be if the law were not there.”

Gun rights advocates say such killings should serve as reminders that handgun bans and other gun laws do nothing to protect people who obey the law.

Indeed, 76-year-old Otis McDonald said he joined the suit in Chicago because he wants a handgun at home to protect himself from gangs.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

The thrust of the legal arguments in the case is over how the Supreme Court might apply the Second Amendment to states and cities.

In earlier cases applying parts of the Bill of Rights to the states, the court has done so by using the due process clause of the 14th Amendment, passed in the wake of the Civil War to ensure the rights of newly freed slaves.

The court also has relied on that same clause – “no state shall deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law” – in cases that established a woman’s right to an abortion and knocked down state laws against interracial marriage and gay sex.

The conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court that struck down Washington’s, handgun ban in 2008 appears poised to stretch the Second Amendment further.

The Second Amendment says that “a well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

The Supreme Court finally took sides in the 2008 case called District of Columbia v. Heller.

In striking down Washington’s strict handgun ban, the court’s majority concluded that Second Amendment rights have nothing to do with militia membership.

To expand the Second Amendment beyond federal boundaries, court conservatives must figure out what constitutional provisions allow them to do so.

The 14th Amendment, adopted after the Civil War, has been the standard tool for expanding other rights.

It declares that states can’t “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” This due process clause has been used previously to apply, or “incorporate,” other Bill of Rights guarantees to state and local levels.

Workers assemble toys on the production line of Dongguan Da Lang Wealthwise Plastic Factory in Dongguan, China. A reader-submitted question about what happens to recalled Chinese-made products is being answered as part of an Associated Press Q&A column called “Ask AP.”

Questions concern tax credits, disposing of recalled goods THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Toxic pet food. Leadpainted toys. Hazardous baby cribs. The sheer volume of recalled products makes you wonder: What happens to all that stuff after it’s ordered off the shelves?

Curiosity about disposing of recalled goods inspired one of the questions in this edition of “Ask AP,” a weekly Q&A column where AP journalists respond to readers’ questions about the news.

Q. I have a few questions regarding tax credits for homebuyers.

When is the deadline to apply? How do you apply? What type of documents do you need? If you bought your home in December 2008, do you qualify? What if you purchased your home in another state? Does that make any difference?

Joyce Hollowell Cleveland A. The deadline is approaching for the federal tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time homebuyers and up to $6,500 for current homeowners.

To qualify, a buyer interested in either credit must sign a binding sales contract by April 30, and

like an interest-free loan.

Adrian Sainz AP Real Estate Writer, Miami Q. Over the last year there have been many recalls of Chinese-made and other products.

Where do all these items go after they are taken off the shelves?

Sara Schreiber Corvallis, Ore. A. It depends on the nature of the recall.

Some products are repaired and sent back to consumers or retailers.

Other products are destroyed by the recalling company. Some companies that recall products hire outside collectors, which must safely dispose of recalled products.

Recalled products that contain hazardous metals or chemicals, such as lead, must be destroyed in a way that is in keeping with state and local environmental laws.

For a small number of products, the company recalling the item might be allowed by the government to export the goods back to the country where they were made or to another country for disposal.

Sometimes the hardest thing is getting all products pulled off the shelves at chains that might have hundreds of stores.

Some retailers have a “lockout” option in their computer systems that won’t let shoppers buy a product that has been recalled, even if it’s still on the shelves.

Mae Anderson AP Retail Writer, New York

complete his or her home purchase by June 30.

You can claim the credit on your federal income tax return, the Internal Revenue Service says.

You should fill out IRS Form 5405 to determine your credit amount.

Then, you should claim that total on line 67 of the 1040 income tax form for 2009 returns, line 69 for 2008 returns.

Also, buyers must attach a copy of their HUD1 settlement statement to Form 5405. A HUD-1 settlement form lists the costs and charges for a borrower in a home purchase. It also lists the names of the parties involved, and the property’s address, sales price and purchase date. If no HUD-1 form was used, then a certificate of occupancy or an executed retail sales contract should be submitted.

In addition, buyers who claim the current homeowner credit must show they’ve lived in their old home for at least five consecutive years during the past eight years. Acceptable documents to establish that include mortgage interest statements, property tax records or homeowner’s insurance records.

People who purchased a home in 2008 do not qualify for either tax credit. However, firsttime homebuyers who bought between April 8, 2008, and Dec. 31, 2009, can qualify for a tax Have questions of credit of up to $7,500 that your own? Send them to must be paid back, much newsquestions(at)ap.org.

Skateboarders roll for cause

BY BETHANY FULLER MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS SERVICE

STATESVILLE – When Marion Karr approached childhood friend Martin Foil about skateboarding across the state to raise money for Hinds’ Feet Farm, Foil told him to bring it on.

Karr’s time on his skateboard this summer will raise awareness about traumatic brain injury and money for Hinds’ Feet Farm, which provides post-rehabilitation and community-based programs.

“It takes ideas like this to really raise attention,” said Foil, Hinds’ Feet executive director. “You just got to keep amping it up to get the awareness out there.”

Foil said his organization helps people recovering from brain injuries become re-engaged with meaningful activities.

So far, Karr has raised $1,500 of his $10,000 goal for the 500 mile Surf2theSurf ride, which starts on June 5 in Asheville and ends at Carolina Beach.

“A lot of people who have gotten into long-distance skateboarding have

combined skating and charitable giving,” Karr said. “There are some guys doing some amazing stuff.”

This is Karr’s first charity ride.

Karr said he is glad he can combine supporting a childhood friend with helping a cause he believes in – Hinds’ Feet Farm.

Karr lost hearing in his right ear in 1981 after a car struck his bicycle. He wasn’t wearing a helmet and the fact he survived and his injuries weren’t more severe was a miracle, he said.

People of faith help in Sudan, Haiti

BY ROCHELLE MOORE MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

WILSON – The outreach team coordinator for the N.C. Conference of the United Methodist Church visited Wilson recently to talk about ministry efforts in the Sudan to 30 United Methodist Women at Winstead UMC. Steve Taylor of Lumberton also took a few

minutes during lunch to share how Methodists around the world are responding to the human crisis in Haiti.

“We’re beginning to form what’s going to be a five-year response effort,” Taylor said. “The Methodist church is usually long term, from beginning to end.”

A staff of five with the United Methodist Committee on Relief, the hu-

manitarian relief agency of the United Methodist Church, is leading efforts in Haiti, which include receiving medical, hygiene and food supplies being sent from churches across the globe.

“They will help facilitate the global response in Haiti,” Taylor said. “The North Carolina conference has shipped a dozen containers of relief supplies.”

The collection and packaging of many of the supplies is being done

by Methodists across the state and the 40-foot containers of supplies have already been sent to Haiti, with more to follow.

“These are all folks who sit in the pews,” Taylor said. “They are the ones making things happen out of their Christian response to the world’s brokenness.”

University acquires writer’s archive AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – The archive of writer David Foster Wallace, best known for his 1996 novel “Infinite Jest,” has been acquired by the Harry Ransom Center library and museum at the University of Texas, the center announced last week.

Hailed as a visionary of his literary generation, Wallace suffered from depression and committed suicide in 2008 at age 46. His archive includes handwritten notes and drafts of “Infinite Jest” and other works, poems written as a child, his personal library and writings from college.

Material for Wallace’s posthumous novel, “The Pale King,” will remain with his publisher until after the book’s scheduled release in 2011.

‘Family Wedding’ surpasses stereotype JAKE COYLE AP ENTERTAINMENT WRITER

O

ne enters a movie like “Our Family Wedding” bracing for cheesiness.

As a genre, wedding films are typically about as cloying as two-hours worth of kitten videos on YouTube. Add in the equally checkered history of stridently ethnic movies, and you might want to start asking moviegoers to remove their belts before entering the theater.

But as Rick Famuyiwa’s “Our Family Wedding” – which combines both elements – moves along, the fingers in front of one’s eyes (usually a shield re-

served for horror films) slowly part. The realization dawns that Famuyiwa has made a mostly charming movie despite its cliche milieu.

The performances help.

And the center is America Ferrera (as Lucia) and Lance Gross (as Marcus), a young couple in college in New York who return home to their families in Los Angeles to break the news that they’re engaged.

Neither family – one Latino, the other black – much like the decision. Miguel Ramirez (Carlos Mencia), Lucia’s father, and Brad

‘Anna Nicole’ opera to premiere next February LONDON (AP) – The world premiere of MarkAnthony Turnage’s “Anna Nicole” will be presented by the Royal Opera next Feb. 17, starring Dutch soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek as the late model and Playboy playmate.

Covent Garden Music Director Antonio Pappano will conduct and Richard Jones will direct, the company recently announced.

Turnage is the composer of “Greek” and the

West End show “Jerry Springer: The Opera.”

The libretto is by Richard Thomas.

Smith Smith died of an accidental drug overdose in 2007. She was 39.

She was Playboy’s Playmate of the Year in 1993.

She married 89-year-old J. Howard Marshall II the following year. After his death in 1995, she fought

a protracted legal battle with his son over his estimated $500 million fortune.

Smith died five months after the death of her 20year-old son from her first marriage. Daniel Smith died of an accidental overdose in the Bahamas.

The company also said the world premiere of Judith Weir’s “Miss Fortune,” a co-commission with the Bregenz Festival, will take place in Bregenz on July 21, 2011.

Boyd (Forest Whitaker), Marcus’ dad, quickly become rivals.

To be sure, there are plenty of predictable jokes reliant on stereotypes. But “Our Family Wedding” often smacks of real people.

As the families feud, they use racial stereotypes less as a crutch for identity than a means for sarcasm, self-deprecation and – if at all possible – ammo against their potential new in-laws.

Insisting the wedding also include African-American traditions, Whitaker draws a blank before remembering the custom of the bride and groom jumping over a broom stick.

Whitaker’s Brad is a radio D-J

and an aging playboy. Mencia’s Miguel is – as all fathers of the bride are in movies – overprotective. Though both are somewhat outlandish, neither sinks to cartoon level – always a threat for the comic Mencia.

A number of characters hover on the outside: Regina King as a family friend; Lupe Ontiveros as an over-the-top, conservative grandmother; Anjelah Johnson as Lucia’s droll sister; Diana Maria Riva as Lucia’s mother.

As friends of the groom, Charlie Murphy and Taye Diggs make a brief, funny appearance for an argument over marriage as either “sex on the regular” or “marital Guantanamo.”

ometimes the image in our minds of what we have lost is far greater than the loss itself, and so it is for Asha, who was given up for adoption by her birthparents in India.

Boys are the prized possession in the Indian village where Kavita Merchant gives birth to a daughter. She cannot bear to have her husband, Jasu, leave her to die, as he did with their first girl. In secret, she names her Usha, or dawn, and makes her way from her village to then-Bombay when the baby is just days old. She leaves the child at an orphanage, and lives with the pain for the rest of her life. But for Kavita, it was the only way to save the girl.

The child is renamed Asha, meaning hope, and adopted by a couple – an Indian man and his American wife – who live in California. Krishnan and Somer Thakkar are both doctors. Slowly, Somer begins to realize what it means to be a mother, about the small and large sacrifices. But her child doesn’t look like her, and Somer worries that she will one day lose Asha to her native land. The relationship between the couple begins to unravel as Somer refuses to accept the Indian culture, rarely visiting her husband’s family.

Kavita, on the other hand, gives birth to a son, Vijay, and is thus able to keep

Shilpi Somaya Gowda’s flair for detail is evident in the way she describes the clothes, food, the streets and their smells of this land teeming with people and poverty in “Secret Daughter.”

This story about motherhood, loss, family and forgiveness is authentic in every way. The reader need not be a mother to feel Kavita’s pain. The prose is so achingly touching, it draws the reader in with every description and emotion of the characters.

New museum to show Marley, Tosh artifacts KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) – Jamaica plans to open a music museum next year that officials say will feature rare pieces from the island’s music history, such as the sole album the late reggae star Bob Marley produced before he gained international fame.

Artifacts will include a cassette tape in which another reggae great, Peter Tosh, jams a blues song with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of

the Rolling Stones, museum curator Herbie Miller said.

The tape was recorded in June 1977 in New York City, said Miller, who was Tosh’s former manager.

It will be placed alongside the album “Escape from Babylon” by American singer Martha Velez that Marley produced in 1976.

The museum is requesting donations to help preserve Jamaica’s vibrant music history.

Poll: Financially pinched, young adults lose faith WASHINGTON (AP) – Young adults are financially anxious, worried that they can’t meet their educational, housing and health care needs, according to a new poll that exposes a growing pessimism about achieving the American Dream.

Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown to release memoir

First lady donates ball gown

NEW YORK (AP) – Sen. Scott Brown, the Massachusetts Republican who pulled off one of the biggest upsets in recent years by winning the seat once held by Sen. Edward Kennedy, has a book deal.

ASHINGTON (AP) – Michelle Obama said she’ll always cherish the moment she slipped into her inaugural ball gown, a one-shouldered, white chiffon design she wore for her first Cinderella-like spins on the dance floor as first lady.

She’ll have to hold on to the memories, because the gown isn’t exactly hers anymore.

In keeping with tradition, Mrs. Obama donated the Jason Wu design to the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History last week. It will go on public display in a new gallery for the museum’s first ladies exhibit, featuring president’s wives from Mamie Eisenhower to the present.

Dotted with beads and covered in fabric petals, Mrs. Obama’s gown was a star attraction at 10 inaugural balls held on a frigid Jan. 20, 2009 to celebrate Barack Obama’s swearing-in earlier that day as the nation’s 44th president.

Mrs. Obama said memories came rushing back after she saw the gown for the first time since taking it off after that whirlwind night more than a year ago – memories of the freezing cold weather, how hectic the day was and how she had less than an hour to get ready for the balls.

“But I’ll never forget the moment that I slipped on this beautiful gown,” said Mrs. Obama. “I remember how just luscious I felt as the president and I were announced onto the stage for the first of many dances,” she said. “And I’ll cherish

Still, Obama enjoys a 56 percent approval rating among young adults, even though majorities of 51 to 56 percent disapprove of how he has handled high-profile issues during his first year in office, including health care, the economy, the federal deficit, Iran and Afghanistan.

Brown won a special election to serve the remainder of Sen. Edward Kennedy’s term and became a hero to Republicans nationwide.

All first ladies since 1912 have contributed to the collection, though not all first ladies part with their inaugural gowns. Mrs. Obama’s donation has added significance since hers is the first

Despite running in a solidly Democratic state, Brown won a special election in January to serve the remainder of Kennedy’s term and became a hero to Republicans nationwide.

“Sen. Brown will write about his family background, his early career, and his ascent to the office of Massachusetts senator, one of the biggest political coups of the decade,” according to a statement issued by HarperCollins.

“He will also discuss the policies and issues he cares about most passionately.”

Minority births on track to outnumber white births WASHINGTON (AP) – Minorities make up nearly half the children born in the U.S., part of a historic trend in which minorities are expected to become the U.S. majority over the next 40 years.

Demographers say this year could be the “tipping point” when the number of babies born to minorities outnumbers that of babies born to whites.

The numbers are growing because immigration has boosted the number of

Hispanic women in their prime childbearing years.

Minorities made up 48 percent of U.S. children born in 2008, the latest census estimates available, compared to 37 percent in 1990.

“Census projections suggest America may become a minority-majority country by the middle of the century. For America’s children, the future is now,” said Kenneth Johnson, a sociology professor at the University of New Hampshire.
