TRANSFORMATION

Green proposes sweeping changes for Oak Hill DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Guilford County Schools Superintendent Mo Green offered a transformation plan Thursday for Oak Hill Elementary School that includes staff and other changes. Green said he wanted to declare all school staff positions vacant and to rehire a staff. The plan would open the way to apply for a federal assistance grant. Oak Hill has been identified by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction as a Tier I Persistently Low-Achieving School. “There is still significant work for us to do after this as we submit the grant proposal,” Green said. “We have to transform this school for the students.” The school board had not reached a decision on the plan late Thursday.

Principal Sara Roberts would be replaced if the board approves the plan. Green recommended that the district pursue funding of up to Green $6 million over three years through a School Improvement Grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The district must apply for the grant by March 30. Each of the 52 school staff members surveyed and a majority of surveyed parents and community members preferred the transformation model over the more drastic restart or closure alternatives. The plan addresses teacher and school leader effectiveness, comprehensive instructional reform strategies, extended learning time and community-oriented schools, and operating flexibility. Green chose the plan because it would not put a cap on the number of staff members that could return to Oak Hill. Teachers and other em-

Oak Hill Elementary is one of eight schools marked as the lowest performing schools in the state. On end-of-grade testing, only 24.9 percent of students were proficient in 2008 and only 29.7 percent were proficient in 2009. ployees will have to reapply for their jobs. So far, 50 percent of classroom teachers have requested a transfer, according to a district survey. “Those not hired back could pursue other positions,” Green said. Green had these reform choices: closing the school, turning it over to a group like a charter school, removing the principal or replacing at least half of its teachers. The changes follow several meetings among school staff, administrators and parents, Green said. In other business, the board approved theme changes for two High Point magnet schools. Montlieu

WHO’S NEWS

Math and Science Academy will focus on technology, and Parkview A+ cultural arts will offer more arts specialties as soon as next year. Montlieu and Parkview A+ also are on the district’s list of low-performing schools. District officials began looking at Bluford Communications and Hampton Leadership Academy in Greensboro and the High Point schools because they met less than 70 percent of district academic and curriculum target goals. The board also approved theme adjustments for the Greensboro schools. Hampton will enhance its leadership theme through a partnership with NC A&T University. Bluford would shift from a communication focus to an emphasis on science, technology, engineering and math. The decision opens the way for the district to apply for grant funding that would help operate the schools for three years. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

HEAD COUNT: City partners with Census Bureau in assistance effort. 2A

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A Thomasville resident who ran unsuccessfully for sheriff in 2002 hopes to have his name on the ballot for the Davidson County sheriff race in November. Although filing for the May 4 primary ended last month, Don Swink, who also has made unsuccessful runs for Davidson County commissioner and Thomasville City Council, said this week he is trying to gather enough signatures to be placed on the ballot as an unaffiliated candidate. Ruth Huneycutt, director of the Davidson County Board of Elections, said Swink would need to get 4 percent of the county’s registered voters to be eligible. That would be about 4,200 signatures in a county that has just more than 100,000 registered voters, according to Huneycutt. So far, Swink has collected about 1,200, he said, adding that he has a deadline of June 25 to collect the rest. “I’m just working at it, trying to do all I can do to get there,” he said. “I believe I will get the signatures. It’s never been done here in the county, so if I get the signatures, I’ll be on the ballot in November. I’ll be the third candidate.” Retiring last year as an owner of a commercial and industrial painting business, Swink has been devoting most of his time recently by going door-to-door asking for signatures. He has the goal of getting the signatures by the primary. “It hasn’t been a problem getting the signatures,” he said. “Once you get there, most peo-

office administration caused him to make the attempt to be on the ballot. “I believe I have got the better leadership skills,” he said. “I believe I will do a better job up there than what we’ve got right now. I would do things differently.” Four Republicans – Sheriff Da-

City, federal government unite to stress importance of census BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The city has partnered with the federal government in an effort to educate the public about the importance of completing and mailing back census forms. Census help desks are operating in several places throughout the city offering assistance in filling out the forms. In addition, the U.S. Census Bureau has 17 Questionnaire Assistance Center locations in the city. Officials said the effort aims to stress the importance of the census as more than just a population count taken every 10 years. Not only does it show how the country has changed in the past decade, it helps to determine what local communities need for the next 10 years, officials said. For example, census

data are used to reapportion seats in Congress and ensure proper district representation in state and local governments. Every year, the federal government distributes more than $400 billion to tribal, state and local governments based on census data. Information from the census helps determine locations for child-care and senior centers, new roads, hospitals, schools and community centers. “Obviously, it helps if everybody completes the form,” said Andy Piper, a senior planner for the city. “It helps us with our representation, not only at the national level, but at the state and local level. They use it to help apportion seats, as well as distributing money. It’s important everybody get counted. A lot of our funding for all kinds of projects will be based on how many people

Suspect leaves hospital before being arrested ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

RANDOLPH COUNTY – A man charged with attempted first-degree murder was released from High Point Regional Hospital before deputies were able to arrest him, the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday. According to the sheriff’s office, deputies were dispatched to an assault call at a home on Pearl Avenue in Sophia Wednesday just after midnight, WXII-12 TV reported. Before they arrived, deputies said the suspect, Timothy Mark Bumgarner II, 23, of So-

phia, fled the scene in a vehicle and crashed at the intersection of Roy Farlow Road and Archdale Road. Sgt. Brian Arrington of the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office told WXII-12 TV that Bumgarner was taken to High Point Regional Hospital to be treated for injuries. Arrington said deputies asked that the hospital note on Bumgarner’s chart that he was wanted and had charges pending, but was told by hospital personnel to call back and speak with someone on the day shift. When the deputy called

According to a Randolph County Sheriff’s Office press release, Bumgarner is charged with assault by strangulation, attempted firstdegree murder, felony possession of marijuana, possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, trafficking in opium, simple possession of schedule IV and possession of drug paraphernalia. Arrington also said the victim was Bumgarner’s girlfriend and mother of one of his children.

Wily coyote evades police for 2 days NEW YORK (AP) – A wily coyote evaded New York City police for two days before being nabbed in a parking garage. It was the fourth coyote sighting in Manhattan this year. The animal first eluded police capture Wednesday near the

Holland Tunnel. It was spotted Thursday afternoon on the West Side Highway, and police chased it to an open-air garage in Tribeca. Officers cornered the coyote, sedated it with a dart and then carted it off to the American Society for the Preven-

tor of the community college leadership program at the University of Texas at Austin, after a gathering of educators viewed the “Perfect Storm” video during a recent summit at Guilford Technical Community College. The video is based on an ETS Policy Information Center report. “I see no momentum to improve this,” Roueche said. “Many public school math and science teachers do not have degrees in the subjects they teach. What can we do to recruit qualified teachers to the public schools? We can’t do the same things we have done and expect to be successful.” Educators need to increase academic rigor in the public schools and community colleges, Roueche said. The slide seems to start in middle school, where most students enter near the national testing averages. More emphasis on reading and writing and less on test preparation would help, Roueche said. “The difference is that elementary teachers teach the whole student and middle school teachers teach curriculum subjects,” he said. “We need to teach reading in a contextual framework in all courses. With the rush to objective testing,

Store manager charged with staging robbery BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A Davidson County woman faces charges after allegedly staging a robbery and making a false report to law enforcement officials. Sheriff’s deputies on Wednesday received a re-

port of an armed robbery on Craver Road. When deputies arrived at the scene, the alleged victim, Diane Sue Voncannon, reported she had been robbed on Berrier Road and had driven to Craver Road, where she called 911 to report the incident. Voncannon told detectives

that while driving on Berrier Road, a white vehicle had forced her to stop and then a white male had robbed her at gunpoint, deputies said. Voncannon said she had given the robber her purse, which contained a bank deposit bag containing $4,000 that belonged

to the Quik Chek in Welcome, where she is employed as a manager. After handing over her purse, the robber disabled her vehicle by cutting one of her tires, she reported. After further investigation, detectives were able to determine that Voncannon had staged the

robbery and made a false report, according to the sheriff’s office. Detectives recovered $2,329.69 in cash from Voncannon’s residence and then arrested her, authorities said. Voncannon, 51, of Creek Meadow Drive, Lexington, was charged with felony

larceny by an employee, making a false report to police and resisting a public officer. Authorities said they believe the total amount stolen from Quik Chek was $5,755.30. She was jailed under a $15,000 bond. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

These are radicals who are close to Obama Bill McKenzie asked for names and facts concerning my accusations that President Obama has surrounded himself with self-avowed communists, social radicals and anti-capitalists. 1. Van Jones: He was Obama’s choice to be “green jobs czar” until his recent resignation. In an article titled “The New Face of Environmentalism,” East Bay Express; Nov. 2, 2005, by Eliza Strickland, www.eastbayexpress. com, Jones has incriminated himself on all three counts. Here is one notable Jones quote from the article. “I met all these young radical people of color – I mean really radical communists and anarchists. And it was like this is what I need to be a part of.” Jones formed a group called S.T.O.R.M. – Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement. This group studied theories of Marx and Lenin. Another notable quote of Jones from the article, “I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28, and then the verdicts came down on April 29.” He said, “By August, I was a communist.” 2. Anita Dunn: White House communications director. In a taped commencement speech on June 2009, Dunn states that Mao Tse-Tung is one of her favorite political philosophers. 3. Cass R. Sunstein: Obama’s regulatory czar. In an op-ed in the Chicago Tribune, April 14, 1999, headlined “Why We Should Celebrate Paying Taxes,” Sunstein appears to applaud government’s heavy-handed taxing power for any reason. 4. Rashad Hussain: Obama’s envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference. Obama refers to Hussain as “An accomplished lawyer and a close and trusted member of my White House staff.” In an article in Politico, Feb. 19, 2010, it is revealed that Hussain has been overly critical of the prosecution of terror suspect

Guilford jail construction continues

B

ack in 2008, Guilford County voters approved a $115 million bond issue to build a 1,000-bed jail annex (including as many as 90 beds for mental health and substance abuse patients) to ease overcrowding in the present county detention center in downtown Greensboro. The county’s construction management firm claims, in spite of 34 days of rain or snow from November through February, the annex project is on schedule and under budget. That, at this point, is the good news. In addition, plans call for (badly needed) renovation of the existing jail. Sheriff BJ Barnes could be hiring as many as 165 jailers and staff for the state-of-the-art annex within a year and County Manager Brenda Jones-Fox says accomplishing that “will be difficult, but we will do it.” That, at this point, is a subject on which you should focus both your eyes and your ears. We’ll find out in the near future, once Guilford County Board of Commissioners members sink their teeth into it, whether it’s good news or bad news.

A QUICK THOUGHT

t will be interesting to see if Guilford Commissioner Bruce Davis of High Point bucks county Democratic officials and seeks the N.C. Senate 28 seat as an independent. Davis feels like he’s been stabbed in the back by party leaders, so he may figure what’s to keep it from happening again if he doesn’t run.

OUR MISSION

The High Point Enterprise is committed to this community ... and always will serve it by being an intensely local newspaper of excellent quality every day.

Terry Price has impressed me as an excellent candidate for sheriff of Davidson County. He entered North Carolina State Highway Patrol as a trooper in 1973 and retired as a captain in 2005. His tenure as a captain gave him the experience to train and lead the sheriff’s department in our county. I believe he will provide our citizens with a professional, responsive and accountable service. His idea of being responsive means he will give personal attention to our property losses and will train the deputies to look out for our community’s most vulnerable, senior citizens and young people. His commitment to being accountable means he will keep us informed on activities of our sheriff’s department. Citizens will be welcome in his office. He will be a leader the law enforcement personnel and the citizens of Davidson County can be proud of. RUBY ALLRED High Point/Davidson County

This benefit also includes those veterans and/or spouses who live in nursing homes. To qualify, a veteran (including the surviving spouse) must have served at least 90 days of active military service, one day of which is during a period of war, and must be discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. The veteran’s benefit is $18,234 annually (paid monthly) and an increase to $21,615, if a veteran has a dependent. The surviving spouse alone gets $11,715 annually. For more information about this program, call (800) 827-1000 or visit http://www. va.gov/ and type in “Aid and Attendance.” Or you may visit service officers at the DAV or the local service officer for your county. I just believe they have a better tracking system. I understand the VA is notifying veterans approximately every 30 days about their pending claim(s). This is a major improvement from the VA. I remember the days when you didn’t know what was going on about your claim. It is always a good idea for veterans or someone assisting them, to write down their service history in their own words. It doesn’t hurt to go back and include early life as well in military assignments. I have mentioned several times how important your DD-214 is. A veteran and/or veteran’s family needs to have this form from time to time. A copy of DD-214 is now available online at: http://www.vetrec. archives.gov/. Again, I want to remind all veterans that the Disabled American Veterans organization provides free transportation to the VA

health clinics in Winston-Salem on Tuesday and Thursday, in Salisbury on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and Durham every day of the week. Call (336) 510-7508 as soon as you get your appointment date and time to schedVETERAN’S ule your ride. Be sure to call if there is any change to your VIEWS appointment date. Remember this is a free service, and in Stan this area, Chapter 20 volunSpangle Sr. teers provide this for all veter■■■ ans. Use it; it is there for you! We now have a DAV van here in High Point and two volunteer drivers. If you should want to volunteer to drive, leave a message on (336) 510-7508. Disabled American Veterans is made up exclusively of men and women disabled in our nation’s defense, and we are dedicated to one, single purpose: building better lives for all of our nations’ veterans and families. Hopefully, we will soon have a DAV office in High Point. We believe Guilford County needs two locations (High Point and Greensboro) to serve the great number of veterans we have in our area. The DAV office in Greensboro is at the Depot on E. Washington Street. A surge of 30,000 U.S. troops is being deployed to Afghanistan. About 8,500 will be U.S. Marines, and every once in a while I like to “brag” about the Marines. Oh, I know this war issue is all about the teamwork of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. Of course, I appreciate and respect all servicemen and women; it is never an easy task to fight wars. Perhaps at the close of your day, you will ask God to keep them safe. Don’t forget the veterans luncheon April 10. God bless America and all the other nations. Semper Fi! STAN SPANGLE SR. is a 21-year veteran of the Marine Corps, serving in Korea and Vietnam.

Vatican axed trial for priest accused by deaf boys VATICAN CITY (AP) – The Vatican on Thursday strongly defended its decision not to defrock an American priest accused of molesting some 200 deaf boys in Wisconsin and denounced what it called a campaign to smear Pope Benedict XVI and his aides. Church and Vatican documents showed that in the mid1990s, two Wisconsin bishops urged the Vatican office led by then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger – now the pope – to let them hold a church trial against the Rev. Lawrence Murphy. The bishops admitted the trial was coming years after the alleged abuse, but argued that the deaf community in Milwaukee was demanding justice from the church.

Tight race has Iraq on edge BAGHDAD (AP) – Iraqi election results Friday will likely show a virtual tie between the two top vote-getting blocs led by the prime minister and his chief rival, a political equation that could add up to bitter political wrangling and risk re-igniting violence.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a Shiite who enjoys wide support with the Shiite majority, is neck and neck with former prime minister Ayad Allawi, who’s popular with Iraq’s Sunni minority. If neither camp emerges with a clear mandate to lead Iraq’s fragile democ-

net ministers declared that Israel would keep on building Jewish homes in east Jerusalem and accused Washington of unfairly putting pressure on the Israeli government. The tough stance signaled further trouble for the U.S. as it tries to restart Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, which broke down more than a year ago.

Final health reform bill passes WASHINGTON (AP) – Capping an epic struggle, congressional Democrats put the final touches Thursday to historic legislation enshrining health care as the right of every citizen. Republicans vowed to campaign for repeal in the fall election season, drawing a quick retort from President Barack Obama: “I welcome that fight.� The president spoke in Iowa as the Senate voted 56-43 for legislation making changes, including better benefits for seniors and low-income and middle-class families, to the bill he signed into law with a flourish at the White House on Tuesday. The House added its approval a few hours later, 220-207, clearing the way for Obama’s signature on the second of two bills that marked the culmination of what the president called “a year of debate and a century of trying� to

ensure coverage for nearly all in a nation where millions lack it. Taken together, the two bills also aim to crack down on insurance industry abuses and to reduce federal deficits by an estimated $143 billion over a decade. Most Americans would be required to buy insurance for the first time and face penalties if they refused. The second of the two bills also presented Obama with another victory, stripping banks and other private lenders of their ability to originate student loans in favor of a system of direct government lending. After a months-long battle in Congress, the political struggle was morphing into a new phase, where public debate was tinged with violence – and politicians accused one another of seeking to exploit it for their own advantage. More than 10 lawmak-

The week’s events marked Obama’s biggest political triumphs since he took office more than a year ago. A pending arms control agreement with Russia, announced on Wednesday, added to his resume, and White House officials said they hoped the momentum would translate into further political successes in the run-up to the midterm elections.

ers in the House said they had received threats or worse as a consequence of the health care debate, most of them Democrats who voted in favor of the legislation. There were reports of bricks through windows, a cut propane line to a grill and numerous obscene and threatening phone calls and faxes. An undisclosed number of lawmakers were under increased police protection.

THOMASVILLE – Ret. Maj. Gen. Hubert Leonard was all smiles as he introduced his grandson as the program speaker of the Thomasville Lions Club meeting Thursday. “Mac is back from Iraq,” Leonard said to his fellow Lions Club members and special guests. Dressed in his U.S. Army National Guard uniform, Lt. Col. Mac Grimes, a 1988 graduate of Thomasville High School, described his experience in Iraq at Big Game Safari Steakhouse. Grimes arrived back to the Chair City in late January, but he got a spirited standing ovation following his presentation that included several photos from Iraq. Grimes, who commanded a task force of approximately 750 soldiers, said his

Lt. Col. Mac Grimes told Thomasville Lions Club members this may be a time for the U.S. to step back in Iraq. brigade was responsible for the southern belt of Iraq, which historically has been a “stronghold” for Al-Qaida. He said the operations environment was a mostly rural farming community where the terrain varies from thick vegetation to soft fields. “With some more modern agriculture techniques Iraq could really be the bread basket of the Mideast,” he said. “They could really feed a lot of countries in that area.”

Unlike the United States, people in Iraq can purchase fuel from a black market or state-owned gas stations, Grimes said. At those gas stations, people can be found waiting a half mile down the road, he added. “There was a very brisk black market business, where on the side of the street, you would see a jug up on a center block and that meant you could stop and somebody’s kid would

come out and fill you up,” Grimes said. “... The towns in our area typically didn’t have paved roads and would have make-shift shops where they would sell all their goods. There wasn’t any Super WalMarts or Outback Steakhouses.” Grimes said most of the fighting in Iraq is because of tribal conflicts, where “cousins are killing cousins and tribes are fight-

ing against other tribes.” “There is a lot of reconciliation that needs to happen at the local level and national level before the country can come together and move forward as a cohesive country,” he said. “... If there is a time to be able to step back, this is a more appropriate time than years in the past. We have done our job.”

Civil rights veterans challenge students BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Two veterans of the struggle to integrate public accommodations and the schools urged a gathering of students Thursday to work against injustice. High Pointers marked February 2010 as the 50th anniversary of their historic deeds. “As I look at things, I see we are not too far from where we used to be back then,” Mary Lou Blakeney, a 1962 Penn High School graduate, told students assembled in the Penn-Griffin School of the Arts auditorium. “I challenge all young people to be ever watchful, or we might be right back there. The monster is not dead.” Blakeney, a member of High

Point City Council, went on to a segregated nursing school. “It is a different book and the same story line,” Peter Mason, another former Penn High student, said in response to a student question about today’s news. “You still see the anger and venom we saw then.” The February sit-ins began after the first Woolworth’s sit-in staged by four N.C. A&T students in Greensboro. Led by the Rev. B. Elton Cox and the Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, Blakeney, then 15, was among 26 mostly high school students who marched to Woolworth’s in downtown High Point. Blakeney remembered that most of the seats were empty except for a man who continued to eat while listening to a transistor radio. The students sat down to

study. The manager called police when the students refused to leave. “They closed the store and we went through some angry and nasty people when we left,” Blakeney recalled. Jeff Johnson, a Washington, D.C.-based journalist, social activist and political commentator, moderated the panel discussion. The program was sponsored by Communities in Schools in High Point. All young people will have to figure out for themselves how to shape their society, Johnson said. “Martin Luther King Jr. once said that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” Johnson said. Blakeney and Mason said their role-play training helped them control the pres-

sures that could lead to violence. “We did what Martin Luther King did. We wanted to make a difference,” Blakeney said. “We were trained that we could not be violent,” Mason said. “I know of no one in the movement who got involved in violence.” But there were fearful days, Mason said. “One day 20 of us were on a demonstration and the police disappeared,” Mason recalled for another student. “We left and I found people flipping my car, trying to turn it over. That was the scariest moment.” Also participating on the panel was Yvonne Bostic Short whose brother Robert Bostic participated in the High Point demonstrations. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Grant competition brings new initiatives Elsewhere...

Educators face economic challenges. 1A BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – What happens in public education in the next few years could be shaped by the Race to the Top grant competition which is aimed at innovation and reform. The goals sound familiar: Standards to prepare students for college or careers in a global economy; measuring and improving student learning by building better datatracking systems; recruiting and retaining effective

teachers and principals and turning around the worst-performing schools. EDUCATION N o r t h Carolina 2010 is one of 16 finalists to The receive a classroom cut of $4.35 of the 21st billion for century education ■■■ funding. The award program was offered last summer by President Barack Obama as part of the federal stimulus act. Gov. Beverly Perdue formed a campaign to win a grant. Winning scores and judges’ comments will be published in April.

In the Guilford County Schools, these programs and proposals could see more emphasis: • Parent university: Superintendent Mo Green has a proposal in his strategic plan to open a program in 2011. The first was the Miami-Dade County School District’s Parent Academy, which opened in 2005. The program is aimed at helping parents become full partners in the education of their children so they can seek higher achievement with them. The programs provide classes to parents on everything from basic academic education to financial management. • Dedicated schools: Allen Jay Middle School in High Point could become

Cancer kills ‘16 Candles’ singer NEW YORK (AP) – Singer Johnny Maestro, who performed the 1958 doo-wop hit “16 Candles” with The Crests and enjoyed a decades-long career with The Brooklyn Bridge, has died of cancer. He was 70. Les Cauchi, a friend and original Brooklyn Bridge member, said Maestro – born John Mastrangelo – died late WednesMaestro day in Florida. His last residence was in Cape Coral, Fla. After beginning his career in the 1950s with The Crests – one of the first interracial singing groups – Maestro joined a local New York group, The Del-Satins. It merged with a Long Island band, The Rhythm Method, to form Johnny Maestro and The Brooklyn Bridge in 1968. Hits by the rock ’n’ roll and doo-wop group included “The Worst That Could Happen,” which Cauchi said earned “gold record” status with a million sales.

Noted female aviator dies SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Elinor Smith, who was considered one of the youngest and most daring pilots in the 1920s when she set a number of flying records, has died. She was 98. Smith died at a nursing home in Palo Alto, said her son, Patrick Sullivan of Santa Cruz. She became a licensed pilot just after her 16th birthday, Sullivan said. At age 17, she became an instant celebrity when she flew under all four of New York’s East River suspension bridges. Sullivan said his mother set the women’s solo flying endurance record in 1929 during a 13 1/2 hour flight. She set an even longer mark just three months later when she flew solo for 26 1/2 hours. Smith also set a women’s altitude record by flying at a height of 32,576 feet in 1931.

CAROLINAS, ABBY Panel: Restrictions needed if NC jetty ban lifted

5 candidates attend Democratic US Senate forum RALEIGH (AP) – Five of the six Democratic U.S. Senate candidates seeking to replace Republican incumbent Richard Burr agreed on many issues during a Wednesday night forum but one hopeful threw criticism toward two other leading contenders to attempt to separate himself. Chapel Hill attorney Ken Lewis said things can’t get fixed in the Senate with career politicians or people backed by “Washington insiders.� The comment was a veiled reference to four-term North Carolina Secretary of State Elaine Marshall and former state Sen. Cal Cunningham of Lexington, who was urged by Democrats in Washington to consider a run. “We can’t change a broken Senate simply by

sending career politicians to Washington,� Lewis, a first-time candidate, said at the dinner and forum organized by Democratic Women of Wake County. The critique by Lewis provided the only fireworks in a cordial forum attended by a couple hundred people at a downtown Raleigh hotel less than six weeks before the May 4 primary. Marshall, an attorney and ex-state senator, said later she didn’t consider experience to be a handicap for political office. “You’re going to hear what people want to do in this race,� Marshall told the crowd. “I simply ask you to look at what I’ve done.� Cunningham declined to comment on Lewis’ statement after the forum. He said at a campaign event

last week in Lexington he was sticking to a positive campaign. An attorney who served in the Army in Iraq, Cunningham said the defining “issue in this campaign will be jobs and the economy.� The health care overhaul law signed into law this week by President Obama, however, was on the minds of forum attendees, who questioned the candidates about it. Four of the candidates said they had supported a “public option,� or government medical plan to compete with private insurance, which didn’t make the final bill. Candidate Marcus Williams of Lumberton said he had been open to a number of ideas, including the public option.

Medic’s battlefield decision continues to haunt him

D

ear Abby: I am a medic in the Middle East. I was out on patrol with some of our guys when we were hit with a mortar attack. More than one guy was wounded. I ran to the first guy and saw that he was hit. He had a wound I knew he wouldn’t be able to survive. He pulled a letter from his pocket, put it in my hands and pushed me away. I tried to apply pressure to his wound to slow the bleeding, but he pushed me away again. It was like he was telling me to go to the next man who needed my attention. Everyone survived except him. At first, I thought I did the right thing by respecting his wishes to help someone I could save. When I got back and talked to his family, they were angry at me for not trying harder to save his life. When I signed up for this job, I knew I wouldn’t be able to save everyone, but I am supposed to try my best no matter who it is I am saving. Was I wrong by going to another man who I could save? Was it wrong of me to take his letter and leave him after he pushed me away twice? Please tell me what you think. – Doc in Distress

grieving. I urge you to talk to a counselor about what happened and the feelings of ADVICE guilt you’re experiencDear ing. In a Abby situation ■■■like the one in which you found yourself, wrenching choices sometimes have to be made. Please stop second-guessing yourself. Dear Abby: My father is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. While at a family party, my stepmother started talking about how she and Dad had just visited their friends, the Royal Family in England. I assume she thought she was being funny. My poor father was completely confused, but my stepmother continued on with the charade. We all felt uncomfortable and didn’t know how to handle the situation. The grandkids felt bad for Grandpop. I recently learned that my stepmother pretended her friend was his daughter. Dad is confused enough without having to be tricked in this manner. My stepmother is a very complex, challenging woman, and I need to handle this matter very carefully. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. – Sad About Dad in New Jersey

Dear Doc: I think you were doing the best you could in an impossible situation. Your patient may have instinctively known he was not going to make it – which is why he gave you the letter. Of Dear Sad: Your stepcourse the family was an- mother is not only “comgry that you couldn’t save plex and challenging,� their loved one – they are she has a twisted sense of

humor. Ridiculing someone with dementia is cruel and, in my opinion, qualifies as elder abuse. As to “tricking� your father into thinking her friend was his daughter, I wish you had mentioned what she was trying to accomplish by doing that. Your father – and his assets – may need protection. Please consider discussing this with a social worker who specializes in senior services. Dear Abby: My husband doesn’t like his sister. When he drinks beer, he says ugly things about her and starts to cry. When I said she’s his only sister and to cut it out, he closed his hands into fists. I twice tried calling her at 1 a.m., after he fell asleep. Well, our phone bill arrived and her phone number is on it. He’s the one who gets the mail, so please answer this in the paper. The bill is due in 10 days. – Peacemaker in Florida

RALEIGH (AP) – A state coastal panel says lawmakers should put strong monitoring and environmental reviews in place should they end a 1985 ban on jetties designed to block shifting sand on the North Carolina coast. The Coastal Resources Commission voted Thursday to recommend several restrictions to the General Assembly if it chooses to allow use of the jetties. The Legislature asked for a response from the panel by April 1. The panel said the jetties should be permitted only when other erosion control responses – even relocating buildings and homes – are impracticable.

Valve causes heart enlargement

D

ear Dr. Donohue: My doctor had me get an echocardiogram (report enclosed). He said I have an enlarged heart, but he didn’t explain it. Will you please give me more information? – L.R.

BLONDIE

Your main heart problem is a leaky aortic valve, one of the four heart valves. The enlarged heart is a result of that leak. After the heart pumps blood into the aorta – the heart artery that carries blood to the other body arteries – the aortic valve closes to prevent backflow of blood. A leaking aortic valve permits blood to flow back from the aorta into the left ventricle, the heart’s main pumping chamber. The ventricle becomes engorged with blood and has to enlarge. That’s the meaning of “left ventricular hypertrophy” on your echocardiogram report. Your leak isn’t great, and your heart is functioning normally. All of that is good news. You have no symptoms of aortic regurgitation, the aortic valve leak. Symptoms are things like breathlessness when you’re active, awakening from sleep gasping for air and chest pain (angina) that comes on with physical exertion. Your doctor has judged this not to be a good time to put you on medicines or to suggest surgical correction of the leak. He will follow you carefully with repeat echocardiograms

to see if the leak is getting worse or remaining stationary. You might never require medicine or surgery.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I have not been diagnosed medically, but I am quite sure I have uterine prolapse. It is not noticeable when I have been prone for a time, as an overnight sleep, but it protrudes once I am on my feet for a while. It does not cause any real problems except for the yuck factor. I have had it for about a year. I am 74 and gave birth to three children. Is it dangerous to do nothing? – C.B. ■■■

Prolapse is a falling down of the uterus, bladder or rectum – one or all three. If prolapse is not causing loss of urine or pain, then you don’t have to do anything. Prolapse, however, seldom gets better on its own. It doesn’t always get worse, either. Pelvic muscle exercises – the Kegel exercises – might help. The correct muscles to exercise are the muscles you contract to stop urine flow. Perform 10 contractions in a row and repeat the exercises three times a day. If you have pain when doing this, stop. Dear Dr. Donohue: I

took Fosamax for about three years. Then I had routine bloodwork on a routine physical. My liver function tests were elevated. My doctor sent me for an abdominal ultrasound and more blood tests. He then sent me to a gastroenterologist, who scheduled me for an ultrasound-guided liver biopsy. I had no symptoms and felt fine. The liver biopsy was sent to a pathologist in New York who specializes in liver disease. It was determined that Fosamax was toxic to my liver. My doctor and I reported this to the manufacturer and the Food and Drug Administration. After seven months, my tests returned to normal. If I had not had that routine bloodwork, I might have developed liver failure. Patients who take Fosamax need to know this. – D.P. Fosamax is a bisphosphonate, a family of drugs that have been invaluable in treating osteoporosis. Esophagus and stomach irritation, bone, joint and muscle pain, and taste disturbances have been side effects for some people. The most serious side effect is osteonecrosis of the jaw – death of a section of the jawbone. That happens very infrequently, and mostly to those treated with intravenous medicine for cancer that has spread to bone. Liver problems aren’t routinely listed as a side effect. I believe your well-documented story and thank you for telling us.

Organizers expect big turnout for fundraiser BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – If you’re looking to stock your private library, perhaps the public library can help. Friends of the Library, the volunteer arm of the High Point Public Library, on Saturday will sponsor a used book sale, with proceeds benefiting the library. A presale for Friends of the Library members only will take place tonight. “We have a wide variety of books,” says librarian Jo Williamson, one of the sale organizers. “We have children’s books, textbooks, audio materials, albums. We have a little bit of everything, to tell you the truth. We usually have some VHS tapes, too, and those are always

The Friends of the Library’s used book sale will be held Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the High Point Public Library, 901 N. Main St. A presale – open only to Friends of the Library members – will be held from 7 to 9 tonight. Individual memberships can be purchased at the door for $10 apiece. Proceeds from the sale will benefit the library. For more information, contact the library at 883-3660. backs, 25 cents for paperbacks. Furthermore, during the final hour of the sale – from 2 to 3 p.m. – items will sell for $2 a bag. “Anything that you want to put in that bag, you can put in there,” Williamson says. “You pay $2 when you have stuffed the bag as full as you can stuff it. And it’s our bag.” Proceeds from the sale – typically around $4,000 to $5,000 – will benefit the library. Following the sale, anything

not purchased will still find a good home, according to Williamson. “Groups will pick the books up to donate them,” she says. “This time, Phoenix Academy is going to send the leftover books to the Philippines for schools there that don’t have libraries.” Friends of the Library has been sponsoring used book sales for years, but tonight’s presale is a new twist that hasn’t been offered before. “We’re back in the building again (following major renovations), so we wanted to do something special for our members,” Williamson says. If you want to attend the presale but you’re not a member, you can join at the door for $10, she adds. Otherwise, if you plan to attend Saturday, be prepared for a crowd. “We always have a good turnout,” Williamson says. “We have our faithful folks who will be there before the doors ever open. There will already be a line of people waiting to get in.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Jo Williamson Librarian popular because we don’t have them for checkout in the library anymore.” The books and other materials available at the sale are largely donations from individuals in the community, according to Williamson. “We get a lot of donations from the community,” she says. “We’ll have Friends members come in periodically and go through the donations, and what can’t be put in our ongoing sale or added to the library collection goes to the book sale. There are also things in the sale that have been weeded from the collection but are still in decent shape.” The prices can’t be beat – $2 for hardbacks, five-for-$1 for paperbacks and soft-covers. Children’s books are even cheaper – 50 cents for hard-

The Carolina Heartland chapter of USA Dance will promote two health benefits when it holds its 6th Annual Black Tie Ball on Saturday at the Four Seasons Sheraton, Koury Convention Center, in Greensboro. The theme this year, “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” features black tie and pink boas. In addition to dinner and dancing from 6:15 to 11 p.m., an art show and raffle are also planned. Because of the benefits derived from ballroom dancing and early breast cancer detection tests, the chapter has teamed with Friends for an Earlier Breast Cancer Test to promote a twin message for all ages. Members of the two organizations are selling sponsor packages ranging from $250 to $2,500, all designated for cancer research. Tickets for the dinnerdance are $55, with proceeds directed to Friends for an Earlier Breast Cancer Test for ongoing research for the early detection of breast cancer. Publicity for this event is intended to remind the public of the multiple benefits of ballroom dancing from the physical exercise, which promotes balance and agility, to the mental acuity demanded in the execution of a tango or paso doble. There is also the social benefit of interacting with people who share a love of dance. To order tickets by credit card, call Friends for an Earlier Breast Cancer Test at (336) 2866620.

Friday, March 26, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Keira Knightley, 25; Kenny Chesney, 42; Martin Short, 60; Diana Ross, 66 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: An opportunity to make personal changes and to alter your lifestyle is apparent – follow through, regardless of what others want. There are deals to be signed and money to be made if you follow your path and refuse to let anyone sidetrack you. Believe in yourself and your talent and you will not be disappointed. Your numbers are 5, 7, 15, 23, 25, 31, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You need a little lighthearted fun to help chill you out and ease your stress. Get involved in activities that challenge you physically and take your mind off any burdens you carry. A love interest will play an important role in a personal decision. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Mixing business with pleasure will pay off in terms of an offer you receive. Take advantage, even if it means putting in extra hours. Uncertainties will arise if you are not willing to go the extra mile. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you lean toward expensive entertainment or people who overindulge or overspend, you will end up in a vulnerable, financial position. A little resourcefulness is all it will take to win praise and favors. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): A job prospect looks good. Make some changes to the way you present your services and you will attract better offers. A love relationship will be passionate but, if you complain, you will face someone’s dissatisfaction. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do something you enjoy with someone you love or, if you are single, an activity or event conducive to meeting a new love interest. You should update your look or dress a little upscale and you will meet people who can offer you some interesting alternatives. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t leave any important matters undone. Make whatever financial or personal changes necessary or you will be faced with a costly penalty. Talk to agencies or whoever is in charge. A wait-and-see attitude will not pay off. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Spend time nurturing business or personal relationships. If you are willing to talk and compromise, you can build a much stronger bond that allows you to accomplish that much more as a team. Don’t limit your options. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An unusual event will bring you in contact with someone who can offer you a change of lifestyle. Make sure what you are being offered is something you truly want. A wrong move will be an expensive mistake. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Say what you mean and mean what you say. Trying to hide something or evading issues will create situations that are out of your control. Sometimes truth hurts but it’s still better than leading someone on. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take a second look and you will discover how to avoid controversy that will hold you back. Make a few changes that will accommodate friends, family or neighbors who might give you a hard time or slow you down. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can lean on someone who has helped you in the past and, in doing so, discover something you can offer in return. Love is in the stars and someone who is just as eager to try new things as you are will make a proposal you cannot refuse. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may want to work a little harder and longer in order to accomplish your goals. Taking on too much may seem like a problem but, if you finish what you start, it will lead to bigger and better opportunities. ★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

The church secretary was snoozing when she typed an Order of Service with this not-inappropriate entry: Hymn: “Wise Up, O Men of God.” Many defenders signal too freely. They should wise up and realize that some signals help only declarer. At today’s slam, South took the ace of clubs and drew trumps, and East discarded an emphatic ten of diamonds. This signal didn’t help West but did interest South, who took it at face value. South took two more clubs and the A-K of hearts, led a trump to his hand and returned a diamond to dummy’s jack.

RUFF-SLUFF East took the queen, but if he led a club next, South would get a ruffsluff. When instead East tried to cash the ace of diamonds, South ruffed and got a heart discard on the king of diamonds. East’s defense caused West to rise up, as well he might. If East’s first discard is a neutral club, South will lead a diamond next, hoping to set up a diamond discard for his heart loser. East can win and

exit safely with a heart.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A J 7 2 H A K 8 6 5 D K J 3 C 7. Your partner opens one diamond, you respond one heart, he bids two clubs and you try two spades. Partner next bids 2NT. What do you say? ANSWER: A fair hand for partner such as K 6, 7 4, A Q 10 8 6, A J 6 5 will yield a play for seven diamonds, hence you must try hard to reach six. A leap to slam would be reasonable. If you’d rather go slow, bid four diamonds, showing good support and slam interest. South dealer Both sides vulnerable

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

But plenty has changed for Murray White IV between his days starring for the Ledford Panthers to his current role of starting third baseman for the High Point University Panthers. “Since I’ve been ‘the fourth’ my SPORTS whole life, I’ve been called ‘Little Steve Murray,’ ” White Hanf explained. “My ■■■ roommates still called me Little Murray.” Only last fall, his HPU roommates returned to find a 5-foot-11, 180-pounder in their midst. “It was, ‘Murray, is that you? You’ve put on some weight,’ ” White recalled before flashing that grin. “I don’t get called Little Murray anymore.” Granted, most folks in the area have known White since he was really little. The right-hander grew into a talented high school player for coach Chris Adams at Ledford and toiled for both the junior and senior HiToms during strong American Legion Baseball seasons. Still, when it came time to sign a college scholarship that senior year, Division I High Point seemed a stretch. White was all of 135, 140 pounds when he graduated, and he would struggle in limited action throughout his freshman year. When Craig Cozart and his staff came in to replace Sal Bando Jr. between White’s freshman and sophomore year, White’s status remained unclear. “We knew he was everything you wanted in a student-athlete as far as a person is concerned, but we were afraid that physically he wasn’t ever going to be able to contribute in a big way because of pure strength,” Cozart admitted. After getting just 35 at-bats in 14 games as a freshman, White contributed only slightly more in his first year with Cozart: nine hits in 46 at-bats (.196 average),

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

Former Ledford High School baseball star Murray White IV is producing some big numbers for his hometown High Point University Panthers. The 5-foot-11, 180-pound third baseman is batting .372 with four home runs, five doubles, 24 runs scored and 17 RBIs for HPU. seeing action in 23 games with 13 starts. Then came the remarkable summer of 2009. HPU strength and conditioning program head coach Tim Teefy and assistant Mike Rhoades began to make inroads with White, who gained 10 pounds the first three weeks of June. A productive summer with the Thomasville HiToms in the wooden-bat Coastal Plain League followed, with White appearing

in 40 games and batting .205 – but showing more and confidence each day. “In high school, I was a scrawny kid and I’ve been small, trying to put on weight,” White said. “I didn’t know what working hard was until I started lifting weights with the strength coach we have. You think you’ve worked hard? You’ve got to work harder.” While White’s roommates were busy in the fall looking for a new

nickname for their friend, the Panthers’ coaches had finished looking for their new third baseman. White was told that the job was his. “To his credit, he was extremely dedicated to the weight room, put 15 pounds on this summer of good, solid muscle mass, and when he came back this fall he was a totally different person,” Cozart said. “His ability to compete, his ability to drive the baseball, his mobility on the infield and his foot-speed – it made a huge jump, probably as much as we’ve ever seen from a guy just in one summer. “He went from a player we thought would be a role player/ platoon guy to winning third base outright. His numbers have backed it up.” High Point’s 14-7 start – bestever in the Panthers’ Division-I era – has coincided with White’s hot bat. The junior has started all 21 games at third base and ranks sixth on the squad with a .372 batting average, is third in runs scored with 24 – and second with four home runs. “It feels great, kind of weird because it just happened,” White said. “It’s a great feeling to help the team out. The first three weeks of the season, sweeping the first three series and making a statement that High Point’s for real, that was great.” Cozart and assistants Bryan Peters and Rich Wallace have great things in mind for the program, including drawing more local talent to sparkling Erath Field at Williard Stadium. Having a player such as White go from afterthought to standout certainly won’t hurt. “Definitely that’s one of the most gratifying parts of coaching, when you see a player take himself to another level,” Cozart said. “If he doesn’t have such a solid makeup as a person, then this probably never would have been a reality. But he’s so aggressively pursued what we told him would turn him into a player – it’s neat to see a player buy into that and see the rewards of the hard work.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Bishop’s Robinson wins AP coach of year BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

KERNERSVILLE – Silence. That was Brian Robinson’s initial response upon learning he’d been named the Associated Press girls basketball coach of the year for North Carolina. He thought about all five championships won by his Bishop McGuinness girls, the 30-win seasons, the undefeated year. “23-7 and you receive a reward like this,” Robinson said. “I don’t know.” What made the Villains’ fifth straight N.C. High School Athletic Association 1A championship more impressive than the rest? Enough for a statewide panel of prep sports writers to cast seven of a possible 22 votes for him, one more than Stephanie Butler

of Matthews Butler High, who led her team to the 4A title? “The fact that we had lost so many players, four of them who went on or will Robinson go on to play ether Division I or Division II basketball, I guess it kind of showed that we’re not just rolling the ball out there and playing,” Robinson reasoned. “We have a system set up for our players to go out there and play well. Our system can place players where they can be their best.” Bishop proved that when it prevailed 55-46 over Williamston in the title game. Star point guard Megan Buckland suffered a knee injury in the third quarter and did not return, while senior leader Erin Fitzgerald also exited the

Roundup of Thursday’s spring sports action. 4D Smith Center court briefly in the fourth quarter – leaving Robinson with five sophomores on the floor in the biggest moment of their lives. Growing pains similar to that one on a team that lost seven of its top nine from a year ago helped explain a 7-4 start, but the roster full of underclassmen pulled together in time to keep the championship streak alive. “This was definitely the most challenging of the five, but the thing that made it a little easier was that our program is set up so that we have things in order,”

Robinson said. “We have some really good assistant coaches, we have players that want to listen and work hard, and obviously we have great school support. As challenging as it was, it would have been a lot worse if I didn’t have that support around me.” Assistants Trish Grant and Craig Clark have been with Robinson all eight years at Bishop. Clark serves as head coach of the Villains’ JV and is assisted by Shannon McCourt. “It’s something I can share with a lot of people,” Robinson said of the award. “This season is definitely a season of surprises. One thing after another is happening and they’re all good things, and it only can bode well for the future of the program.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

HIT AND RUN

I

’ll admit it. For tonight at least, I’m a huge supporter of Northern Iowa and Saint Mary’s. In the interest of full disclosure, I’m taking tonight off so I can watch the action and root on my own time. I always try to remain neutral while on duty. The ninth-seeded Panthers and 10th-seeded Gaels look to continue their storybook runs with Sweet 16 upsets of powerful foes from established conferences.

Northern Iowa takes on fifth-seeded Michigan State in St. Louis, while Saint Mary’s tangles with third-seeded Baylor in Houston. There are reasons to like both underdogs’ chances. The Panthers took out top overall seed Kansas in round two and the Spartans will be without team leader Kalin Lucas, out of the rest of the postseason with an Achilles tendon injury. As for the Gaels, they feature an Australian-dominated roster.

Remember how talented the Bee Gees were? Seriously, Saint Mary’s center Omar Samhan stirred memories of Bill Walton with his deadly shooting accuracy and solid post presence in the upset of Villanova. And you have to like a backcourt tandem of Mickey McConnell and Matthew Dellavedova. It would be exciting to showcase two Cinderella stories in the same Elite Eight.

Charlotte, NHRA combine for grand experiment BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

AP FILE

Clint Bowyer, shown in this Feb. 7, 2009 photo at Daytona International Speedway, has displayed steady improvement at Martinsville Speedway in recent seasons. He hopes that learning curve produces a victory in Sunday’s Cup race at the storied short track.

Bowyer learns Martinsville ropes BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

MARTINSVILLE, Va. – Clint Bowyer is finally starting to get the hang of racing at Martinsville Speedway. Coming from the short tracks of Kansas, he never thought he would struggle at the .526-mile circuit when he first saw its long straights and tight turns as a rookie four years ago. Once he started making laps, he realized he wasn’t on Kansas dirt tracks any more. “It looks so simple,” Bowyer said. “But it is really hard.” It was so hard for Bowyer that he finished 22nd and 23rd after qualifying 42nd and 37th in his two starts here in 2006. “I was terrible,” Bowyer said. “I just didn’t have any speed. I didn’t qualify well and didn’t race well.” Gradually, he’s gotten better. He cracked the top 10 with a ninth-place finish in the fall race of 2007, then made another leap with a fifth-place last spring, which was significant considering the Richard Childress Racing team that fields his cars was rarely competitive the first half of last year. “The thing about Martinsville is it can

multiply all your mistakes 100 times,” Bowyer said. “I was driving too hard into the corner and when you do that you wash up the track in the middle of the turns. The other big mistake you make is getting on the gas too early coming off the corner. You shoot toward the outside wall and that kills your straightaway speed.” Bowyer won’t be considered a favorite this weekend – that role going to Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin, who have accounted for all the victories in the past seven races. But, he works on getting better – going as often as possible to the Martinsville replica on the grounds of Rockingham Speedway to practice – and believes he can be a factor as he tries to rekindle a solid start to this season that included a fourth and two eighths in the first three races. He’ll get to show what he can do beginning with qualifying today shortly after 3 p.m. “It’s all about patience,” Bowyer said. “You’ve got to be smooth driving and you’ve got to be easy. You don’t want to wear out your brakes or transmission or rear (gearing). You want to have some equipment to work with in case there is a late caution and you need to make a charge.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Love III, Holmes show way ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Davis Love III is trying not to look ahead and concern himself only with the tournaments on his schedule. He gave himself reason to hope Thursday that the Masters might still be on the list. Love chipped in twice during a five-hole stretch he played in 6 under early in his round, then finished strong with a 45-foot birdie and an 8-foot par putt that felt just as good for a 6-under 66 and a share of the lead in the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

J.B. Holmes, among the early starters, played bogey-free in calm conditions and also had a 66 on the revamped Bay Hill course. Love is in a position that has become all too familiar of late. He has only two weeks left to earn a trip to Augusta National, which he has not played the last two years. His only chance is to win at Bay Hill or next week in the Houston Open. Love has never won Palmer’s tournament, although he has come close. He finished a shot out of a

playoff in 1999, then was runner-up to Tiger Woods a year later. Mike Weir had a rare moment when he reached a par 5 from a fairway bunker at No. 12 to set up one of his eight birdies on his way to a 67, tied with Henrik Stenson. Ernie Els, playing for the first time since his victory at Doral, was in the group at 68 that included Robert Allenby. Steve Stricker had a 69, while Phil Mickelson and Innisbrook winner Jim Furyk were among those at 71.

CONCORD – NHRA’s grand experiment and Bruton Smith’s vision will come to life starting today. For the first time in competition, drivers and riders in the NHRA’s professional series will compete four at a time in the aptly named Four-Wide Nationals at the drag strip across the road from Charlotte Motor Speedway – the only drag facility in the series with enough lanes for four-abreast racing. NHRA gave its blessing to the unique format after successful exhibition runs last fall. Beginning with qualifying today, it will be used all the way through to the finals on Sunday. Two sets of synchronized starting lights will be used, one between each pair of lanes. The lights will not activate until one car is staged at the starting line and the other three are prestaged. “You just have to adapt and stand on the gas first,” Funny Car driver Robert Hight said. Sixteen drivers will advance from qualifying to eliminations with two drivers advancing from each run. “Basically from inside the cockpit,

my job is the same,” Top Fuel driver Brandon Bernstein said. “However, you have the added challenge of trying to concentrate on what three other drivers are doing instead of just one. It will be easy to become distracted with a lot going on during the staging process, so focusing on my Christmas tree and my lane will be my objective.” Matt Hagan, a second-year Funny Car driver who has been low qualifier once this year, believes drivers on the outside lanes could be at a disadvantage. “It’s one thing to race the guy beside you, but when you have to race three others, you don’t know what’s going on two lanes over,” Hagan said. “Now, you’re going to have to put yourself in a situation where you have to make it go to the end no matter what, because you can’t see what’s going on in the other lanes, versus just racing the guy beside you. “It puts you in a tough situation to make the decision of whether you have to stay on the gas all the way to the top end or not, because you can’t see what’s going on. If you do, you have a real good chance of the car blowing up.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Min’s 66 good for f irst at La Costa CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) – Na On Min shot a bogey-free 6-under 66 on Thursday to take a one-shot lead after the first round of the inaugural Kia Classic at La Costa, the first U.S. stop on the LPGA Tour this season. Teeing off in the morning before the wind picked up, she led three other South Koreans atop the leaderboard. Na Yeon Choi was one stroke back while Seon Hwa Lee and Inbee Park

were two back, tied with Catriona Matthew of Scotland. Japanese star Ai Miyazato, the first LPGA Tour player in 44 years to sweep the first two events of a season, had a poor start with a 2-over 74 and was in an 18-way tie for 59th. No LPGA player has won the first three tournaments in a season. Michelle Wie closed with three bogeys in her last six holes and was in a 13-way tie for 24th at 72.

Kjeldsen, Lawrie share lead at Andalucia Open Kjeldsen and Lawrie both had seven MALAGA, Spain (AP) – Defending champion Soren Kjeldsen and Paul birdies and two bogeys around the Lawrie shared the lead Thursday at Parador Golf Course on the Costa Del the Andalucia Open after each shot a Sol. Each shot 30 on the front nine. Seven players were a stroke behind. 5-under 65 in the opening round.

Freeman leads ASU to WBI title game ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

BOONE – Anna Freeman didn’t miss a shot Thursday night to help the Appalachian State women to the championship game of the Women’s Basketball Invitational. Freeman, the former East Davidson star, scored 17 points in the Mountaineers’ 77-58 win over College of Charleston. The freshman finished 5-for-5 from the field – making her lone 3point try – and was 6-for6 at the foul line. Freeman also tallied nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and a block in 32 minutes of action.

Ashley Dewart led Appalachian with 25 points. College of Charleston Freeman (21-12) led 9-8 at the 14:33 mark of the first half before going more than seven minutes without a point. App’s 16-0 run during that point led to a 40-18 halftime margin against its Southern Conference rival. Appalachian (21-12) will play host to the championship game of the first-ever WBI, meeting Memphis on Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Holmes Center.

Butler shocks Syracuse, 63-59 Duke looks to build on tradition AP

From left: Duke’s Brian Zoubek, Miles Plumlee and Kyle Singler celebrate the Blue Devils’ 68-53 victory over California in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday. Duke looks to advance to the Elite Eight with a win over Purdue tonight in Houston.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON – Nolan Smith decided to play for Duke in large part because of the program’s remarkable record of postseason success. Smith intends to continue the tradition, not to become a victim of it. “We came here to live up to those expectations; we feel like it’s our job to do that,” said Smith, whose Blue Devils face Purdue tonight in the Sweet 16 at the NCAA Tournament (approximately 9:57 p.m., WFMY, Ch. 2). “We don’t feel any pressure from the expectations off the court, but it’s the reason we put on the Duke jersey every game. “But we’re really just thinking about this year. We’re not focusing on the past.” Some Duke fans find themselves thinking about the past entering

tonight’s game at Reliant Stadium, a glorious past that can be a burden when the present doesn’t match up. The Blue Devils have advanced to 10 Final Fours and won three NCAA titles under Coach Mike Krzyzewski, but they haven’t advanced beyond the Sweet 16 since 2004. “You know, there are two words when you compete that are interesting: ‘since’ and ‘never,’” Krzyzewski said. “I’m glad we’re in the ‘since.’ “What we have done since then has been really good. We’re proud of everything that we’ve done. But there is a reason why not many people win these things over and over again. It’s because it’s very difficult, and you have a different team each year.” Many believe this is a different Duke team – different than the recent ones whose journey has ended

at this point in March, if not earlier. Senior Brian Zoubek, a big reason for that belief and an eyewitness to Duke’s last three teams that went a combined 3-3 in the NCAA Tournament, is among the believers. “We’re playing our best basketball right now, and there’s a difference between that and last year, when it was us being tired and out of sorts and not getting into the flow like we are right now,” Zoubek said. “We feel really good physically. We don’t have the nagging injuries or overall fatigue that I think we did last year. “Also, we’re on a positive upward climb. The team just keeps getting better.” Zoubek is a part of a senior class that has won 111 games, but a class – fairly or not – that will be viewed by many as a disappointing one if it doesn’t at least earn No. 112 tonight.

Purdue targets different outcome BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

HOUSTON – When Matt Painter took over at Purdue in 2005, he said the program would meet its goals if his teams played as hard as those coached by predecessor Gene Keady. Painter still holds up Coach Keady as the standard, but since his Boilermakers bowed to Duke last season, he holds Coach K in much the same esteem. “That’s something we’ve talked about a lot with our team, last year and this year, just about how hard Duke plays,” said Painter, whose team will face Duke tonight for the first time since the Blue Devils’ 76-60 victory at Purdue on Dec. 2, 2008. “They took us to the woodshed. They just absolutely out-competed us at every position and outtoughed us.

“But the game really helped us because our guys thought they played really hard before that, and then they realized what playing hard really was because Duke showed that.” One of the last things Painter did before his Boilermakers departed for Houston on Wednesday was show his team some highlights – lowlights from Purdue’s perspective – from last season’s ACC/Big Ten Challenge game that went decidedly the way of the Blue Devils. “That didn’t go to well – that was a very ugly film session,” senior guard Keaton Grant said. “We watched clips where they were more physical than us and quicker to ball. “It definitely won’t be the same result that happened in Mackey Arena that night.” As if a chance to advance to the Elite Eight wasn’t enough motiva-

tion, Grant said the Boilermakers (29-5) also are motivated by last season’s loss. The Blue Devils (31-5) recognize that, but aren’t concerned by it. “They might have some incentive from that game, but we do, too,” junior Nolan Smith said. “We lost at this point (in the NCAA Tournament) last year, and we want to go further. “This team is hungry to go as far as we can.” The teams have much the same personnel as they did for last year’s meeting, with a couple of notable exceptions: Gerald Henderson for Duke and Robbie Hummel for Purdue. But while Henderson went to the NBA before this season, Hummel was a key cog in Purdue’s success this season – before a knee injury suffered on Feb. 24 sidelined him for the rest of the season.

Samhan makes sure St. Mary’s gets noticed HOUSTON (AP) – With his dominating play and crackling one-liners when he talks or tweets, Omar Samhan is making sure that people take notice of surprising Saint Mary’s. The 6-foot-11 center is certainly having fun during the Gaels’ NCAA tournament run into the round of

16, where they will play Baylor tonight in the Bears’ home state. When Samhan stepped into the spotlight shining on the interview podium Thursday, he stopped before sitting and waved to everyone. He later made sure the television cameras were aimed at him before professing his love to singer Taylor Swift.

“He’s enjoying this, which he should be,” Saint Mary’s coach Randy Bennett said. “He’ll be ready to compete.” The 10th-seeded Gaels (28-5) had won only one NCAA tournament game, back in 1959, before beating higher seeds Richmond and Villanova last week.

SALT LAKE CITY – Butler became the latest midmajor team to knock off a top seed in the NCAA tournament. Willie Veasley scored five of his 13 points during Butler’s 11-0 run down the stretch, and the Bulldogs rallied to upset No. 1 seed Syracuse 63-59 on Thursday night in the West Regional semifinals. The fifth-seeded Bulldogs (31-4) fought through Syracuse’s vaunted zone defense and kept the Orange (30-5) from getting their fast break going most of the night. Now, Butler is one win from going home to Indianapolis for the school’s first Final Four. Gordon Hayward scored 17 points and started the celebration while dribbling out the clock after the Bulldogs forced Syracuse into its 18th turnover. Wes Johnson had 17 points and nine rebounds for Syracuse, the second No. 1 seed to go down. Northern Iowa stunned top-ranked Kansas in the second round of the Midwest Regional last weekend. Scoop Jardine added 14 points and five assists and Andy Rautins scored 15, including a 3-pointer to open the second half that sent the Orange on a 15-4 run that gave them their first lead. But the Orange couldn’t overcome the turnovers, and the 2-3 zone that so many wondered whether Butler could crack was no match for the Bulldogs’ sharp shooting in the final minutes after Syracuse had taken a 54-50 lead with 5:23 left.

WEST VIRGINIA 69, WASHINGTON 56 SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Kevin Jones scored 18 points in leading second-seeded West Virginia to a 69-56 win over Washington on Thursday night in the East Regional semifinals. Da’Sean Butler shook off a sore right hand that he hurt in the second half to score 14 points for the Mountaineers (30-6), who won their ninth straight game and set a school record for victories. Justin Holiday scored 14 points and added eight rebounds for the 11th-seeded Huskies (26-10). Washington was undone by foul trouble after leading scorer Quincy Pondexter picked up his third foul in the first half, and guard Isaiah Thomas fouled out with 2:41 left.

France, Germany agree on eurozone BRUSSELS (AP) — Diplomats said Thursday that after months of deep uncertainty and market turmoil France and Germany are backing a joint eurozone and International Monetary Fund bailout program for Greece — and other financially troubled members of Europe’s currency union. They were speaking on condition of anonymity because details have not been agreed by all 16 nations that use the euro.

Layoffs show signs of easing WASHINGTON (AP) — New claims for unemployment benefits fell more than expected last week as layoffs ease and hiring slowly recovers. The decline brought the four-week average of claims, which smooths volatility, to its lowest level since September 2008, when the financial crisis intensified. The report is an encouraging sign that the economy is getting closer to generating job gains, economists said. “We’re on the cusp of a hiring recovery,� said Zach Pandl, an economist

at Nomura Securities. The Labor Department said Thursday that firsttime claims for jobless benefits dropped by 14,000 to a seasonally adjusted 442,000. That’s below analysts’ estimates of 450,000, according to Thomson Reuters. Most of the drop resulted from a change in the calculations the department makes to seasonally adjust the data, a Labor Department analyst said. The department updates its seasonal adjustment methods every year, and revises its data for the pre-

vious five years. Seasonal adjustment attempts to filter out expected changes in employment such as the layoff of temporary retail employees after the winter holidays. The goal of seasonally adjusted figures is to provide a more accurate picture of underlying economic trends. Excluding seasonal adjustment, initial claims fell by more than 30,000 last week to 405,557. Initial claims have fallen in three of the past four weeks, wiping out most of the increase that took place in the first two

months of this year. First-time claims were elevated last month by severe snowstorms on the East Coast, which caused backlogs in many state offices that fell behind in processing claims. Many economists say claims need to fall below roughly 425,000 to signal that the economy will consistently create jobs, though some say it could happen with claims at higher levels. Analysts forecast the nation will gain more than 150,000 jobs in March, partly due to temporary

Bernanke: Low rates still needed

The proposal, which still needs approval from creditors, is key in clarifying the options for scores of lenders owed the majority of the $26 billion in debt which Dubai World in November said it was seeking to restructure.

ConAgra Foods profit rises PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Strong sales of low-priced meals such as Banquet and Chef Boyardee helped push ConAgra Foods Inc.’s third-quarter profit up 19 percent, the company said Thursday. Cheap prepared foods like ConAgra makes have appealed to consumers during the recession as they try to save money and eat at home more. But investors, worried by continued challenges in ConAgra’s smaller commercial segment and by the company’s continued modest outlook, sent its shares down.

Natural gas price drops to record low NEW YORK (AP) — The futures contract for natural gas tumbled to its lowest price on record Thursday after the government reported that supplies grew for the first time this year, adding to already bloated reserves. Natural gas for April delivery dropped 15.9 cents, or 4 percent, to $3.946 per 1,000 cubic feet, on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices fell as low as $3.940 earlier in the day, the lowest on record for the April contract. Meanwhile, oil prices gained after the Labor Department reported that jobless benefits dropped more than expected last week. Benchmark crude for May delivery added 52 cents at $81.13 a barrel on the Nymex.

hiring for the Census. The March figures will be reported April 2. That would be only the second time the economy has added jobs in the 28 months since the recession began. Hiring that would have occurred in February was likely delayed because of bad weather, economists said, which will also inflate March job gains. But Pandl and other economists expect the economy generated jobs in March — even excluding the effect of the Census and weather.

Deere: Health care law to raise costs OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Deere & Co. said Thursday that changes to the health care law signed into law this week will raise related costs this year by $150 million. The biggest U.S. maker of farm equipment became the second major company in as many days to say it would take a charge for fiscal 2010. Deere and Caterpillar Inc., which reported that it would record a $100 million charge Wednesday, say the health care overhaul President Barack Obama signed Wednesday will make a subsidy the companies receive for retiree

drug coverage taxable in 2011. Both companies said it was a one-time charge as they adjust to the new level of expected taxes. Deere and Caterpillar were among the 10 companies that sent a letter to Congressional leaders in December warning of cost increases. Others were: Boeing Co., Con-Way Inc., Exelon Corp., Navistar Inc., Verizon, Xerox Corp., Public Service Enterprise Group Inc., and Met Life Inc. The companies say federal subsidies have covered 28 percent of the cost of retiree prescription drug coverage. The gov-

ernment offered the subsidies so that more companies would continue to offer coverage to retirees and keep them off of government-funded Medicare Part D. Under the health care reforms passed this week, that subsidy will be taxed starting next year, which the companies predicted could significantly increase government health care costs because companies may drop coverage. “Taxing the subsidy means that more companies will eliminate or reduce the coverage, and more retirees will shift to Medicare Part D, which will creare more cost for

both the government and the retirees,� the companies wrote in their letter. Deere spokesman Ken Golden said it would be premature to comment on whether this tax change will affect what benefits Deere offers to retirees in the future. But Golden said Thursday that since the health care law has been signed, companies have to account for a known future cost. A technical snag had lawmakers scrambling to fix the final piece of legislation Thursday, though leading Democrats say they do not expect any major problems.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Record-low interest rates are still needed to rev up the economic recovery, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress on Thursday. Bernanke, in testimony to the House Financial Services Committee, essentially repeated the rationale behind the Fed’s decision last week to hold rates near zero. He cited still-fragile economic conditions, and noted that inflation is low, which gives the Fed leeway to keep rates at rock-bottom levels. The Fed chief didn’t offer new clues about when the central bank might reverse course and start tightening credit. He said that would need to happen when the “expansion matures.� Some investors and analysts think higher rates could come in the fall. Deciding when to tighten credit is the biggest challenge facing Bernanke, whose second term started in February. Moving too soon could shortcircuit the recovery. Waiting too long could unleash inflation and sow the seeds for new speculative bubbles in stocks or commodities or other assets.

Citigroup joins mortgage program NEW YORK (AP) — Citigroup Inc. on Thursday became the latest lender to commit to the government’s program to modify second mortgages as a recovery in the U.S. housing market appears to be in jeopardy. With Citi on board, now four big owners of home mortgages in the U.S. have joined the program — part of the Obama administration’s $75 billion loan modification plan aimed at reducing monthly payments to help customers stay in their homes. Bank of America Corp., Wells Fargo & Co., JPMorgan Chase & Co. already participate. A collapse in the housing market late in 2007 helped push the economy into recession as home prices fell and defaults skyrocketed. A recovery in the sector

has been slow and uneven as customers continue to struggle to pay their loans. Home sales are sliding, prices are stalling and foreclosures are rising. Making matters worse, mortgage rates will likely climb after next week when the Federal Reserve ends a program that has driven them down. But if successful, the second-mortgage modification program could relieve some drag in the housing market. During the housing boom, lenders often made second mortgages, also known as “piggyback” loans, that allowed consumers to make a small or no down payment. Some homeowners have had trouble getting loans modified because lenders who extended second mortgages — fearing they won’t be repaid — can veto a bor-

rower’s efforts to modify their primary mortgage. The administration’s plan may eliminate that hurdle for some strapped borrowers by offering lenders incentives to lower payments or eliminate the loans entirely. The government has launched multiple programs to try to alleviate problems in the housing market, including incentives for first-time home buyers and the mortgage modification program, known as the Home Affordable Mortgage Program. Citi, based in New York, already participates in the primary mortgage program. Banks can offer mortgage modifications which help reduce payments for customers to more manageable levels through HAMP.

Toyota names head of quality task force ERLANGER, Ky.

Laptop, TV sales boost Best Buy NEW YORK (AP) — Even in a weak economy, Americans increasingly feel that gadgets such as smart phones aren’t luxuries but necessities. That shift has helped electronics sales weather the recession better than some other categories and helped Best Buy post a strong fourth-quarter profit Thursday on a steep sales increase fueled by flat-panel TVs, notebook computers and wireless gadgets. Best Buy’s profit rose 37 percent, and its revenue grew 12 percent to $16.55 billion. It also projected a brighter-than-expected 2010. Even though consumers faced tough challenges in 2009 such as the hous-

ing slump, job fears and personal debt, CEO Brian Dunn said on a call with investors, they often cut back elsewhere rather than electronics. He said unit sales of TVs, notebook computers and cell phones increased enough during the year to offset significant declines in prices for some of the items. “Some of the things we offer no longer fall under the category of discretionary purchases,” Dunn said. “These solutions have become such integral elements in peoples lives that they have little or no tolerance for any kind of disruption if things aren’t working the way they should.”

Honda steps up customer incentives NEW YORK (AP) — Honda is aiming to entice customers with among its most aggressive leasing programs ever after rival Toyota launched its own big program earlier this month. Honda Motor Co. is offering leases with no down payment, no security deposit and no payment for the first month across nearly its entire lineup through May 3, according to spokesman Chris Naughton. Heavy incentive spending is not unusual among the Detroit Three. But Japanese automakers

typically shy away from deep discounts because of concern that it could tarnish brand value. Honda typically spends the least amount of the major automakers on incentives, according to the automotive Web site Edmunds. com. However, Naughton said Honda is pushing its leases so aggressively because Honda vehicles typically have strong resale value. “It would be very accurate to say it’s among the biggest leasing promotions we’ve done,” Naughton said.

Stocks lose gains on Greece woes NEW YORK (AP) — Renewed concern about Greece’s debt problems short-circuited the big stock market rally. The Dow Jones industrial average closed Thursday with a gain of just 5 points after earlier rising to a new high for 2010. Broader indexes slipped. The market’s advance fizzled after European Central Bank’s president Jean-Claude Trichet told French television that Europe must take responsibility for its financial problems. That raised concerns about when a rescue for Greece might come. Officials from European nations were meeting late Thursday to discuss their economic problems, and a deal was finally announced late in the day. Investors have been concerned for months that problems in Greece and other debt-strapped countries in Europe would spread and spoil a global economic rebound. The concerns about Greece weakened the euro and raised demand for the dollar. The climb in the dollar hit prices of commodities like energy. That, in turn, hurt shares of energy and materials stocks. The Dow rose 5.06, or 0.1 percent, to 10,841.21. It has risen in 16 of the past 20 days.

A mother and her young son and a motorist keep their distance from Mississippi River floodwater along the Hannibal, Mo., riverfront. According to the National Weather Service, the river has begun to slowly recede.

Some flooding reported in Midwest ST. LOUIS (AP) – Minor to moderate flooding was reported Thursday along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers and their tributaries, and more rain wasn’t helping. The National Weather Service for weeks has been issuing flood warnings because of heavy snow melt to the north, saturated ground and rivers that

have remained higher than normal through the winter. Parts of the Midwest were expected to get an inch or more of rain Thursday, and another batch of precipitation was forecast for the weekend. But barring an unfore-

seen downpour, major flooding was not in the forecast. Mostly minor flooding was occurring from southern Iowa through southern Missouri along the Mississippi River, but few homes or businesses were affected.
