Thomas Built rolls out hybrid buses BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Thomas Built Buses is traveling down a greener path these days. The High Point-based school bus manufacturer recently released a hybrid school bus onto the market, known formerly as the SafT-Liner C2^e diesel-electric hybrid. The bus uses a regenerative technology that cuts the amount of fuel usage by using some electrical power, said Ken Hedgecock, vice president of sales, marketing and service for the company. “We started considering hybrid buses a couple of years ago, tagging off a technology our parent company (Daimler Trucks

Small decal on side of bus. North America) developed,” he said. “Regenerative technology is a perfect fit for school buses because it is such a stop-and-go process.” Each time the accelerator is pressed on the hybrid bus, it runs on electrical power for the first one-eighth of a mile. After that, the diesel fuel system kicks in. The buses also look and operate the same as a regular diesel bus, Hedgecock said.

The system has a “30 percent better fuel economy” than the standard diesel bus, which should save school districts big bucks in fuel expenses, he said. But going greener isn’t always cheaper in the beginning. “This particular bus comes with a premium that’s about 40 percent higher than the diesel buses,” said Hedgecock. “It’s going to save school districts money from a fuel perspective, but it may not be something that is going to pick up really, really fast. All purchases to date have been made through some type of federal government grant to offset the cost.” The first hybrid bus was ordered by a school

be in use by the summer. “We’re hoping with time and volume that the technology prices will come down,” he said.

Residents deal with aftermath. 1B BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Federal officials on Thursday assessed the damage from Sunday’s tornadoes – a key step in what High Point and Davidson County officials hope will be a process resulting in financial assistance from the government. Federal Emergency Management Agency and U.S. Small Business Administration representatives surveyed both locales as part of the process of determining the extent of the damage. Their findings will form the basis for whatever federal and/or state aid the area will get. It’s unclear how long it might take for the city to see any assistance but the process is off to a good start because of the quick response to the disaster from federal, state and county officials, said City Manager Strib Boynton. “The response is clearly awesome and greatly appreciated, and the value in that is that the sooner the numbers can be reviewed, the quicker money might be available to help homeowners and businesses and the city,” he said.

Stephanie Blair (left) and her father John Blair of Elmwood Avenue in Blairwood estates look over one of the few things left after the tornado ripped the house apart. She was not at home when the tornado hit. “Normally, in some places it takes weeks to get all the numbers. I’m hopeful, if we’re lucky, we can get some determination in the next week or so.” Officials have identified more than 600 homes and businesses in the city that sustained damage in the storm. In past disasters, assistance has taken the form of low-interest loans to businesses to repair damaged property, machinery, equipment and inventory, as well as help for property owners with uninsured or underinsured losses. Some of the aid would

also come to local government coffers. The city is facing a multi-million dollar budget deficit because of the recession, and the cleanup from the storm has placed heavy demands on departments such as electric, police and public services. Boynton said a tally of city man-hours that have been put into tornado recovery and an estimate on how much that will cost won’t be available until next week. However, he said much of the workload has been carried by crews during their normal shifts

HIGH POINT – Additional charges have been filed in connection with a traffic accident that killed a woman and her unborn child last weekend. Jerry Lee Phillips, 57, of Baker Road, was charged on Wednesday with felony death by vehicle, according to police and Guilford County Jail records. Phillips was driving a motor

scooter east on Triangle Lake Road about 4:20 p.m. Saturday when it ran off the right side of the road, struck a drain culvert, a tree and a utility pole before it came to rest on the roadway surface near the intersection with Grand Street, according to the High Point police report on the accident. A passenger on the scooter, Crystal Marie Grimes, 30, of Hoover Hill Road, Trinity, was ejected during the crash. She

Raybon nomination to get hearing BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

Duke University graduate student Julia Gaffield is shown on campus in Durham Thursday. Gaffield found what is believed to be the only surviving printed copy of Haiti’s Declaration of Independence while doing research at the British National Archives in London.

Graduate student uncovers Haitian founding document RALEIGH (AP) – For years, Haiti’s government has sought out the pamphlets on which the country’s founders declared that they had thrown off their colonial masters, ended slavery and created the world’s first black republic. Now historians say a graduate student has found what could be the only copy left. The leaders of Haiti’s revolution sent their Declaration of Independence to other governments in the days after the island country’s

1804 birth. But copies from that original printing have been lost in the centuries since, and the country’s national archivist said he’s traveled abroad looking for any that might have survived. Duke University said Thursday a graduate history student found what could be the only surviving copy. Julia Gaffield made the discovery in February while combing through early 19th Century correspondence collected in Great Britain’s National

Archives in London, the archives and Duke said. The director-general of Haiti’s National Archives, Wilfrid Bertrand, said that he was not aware of any surviving official originals of the declaration, not even in the possession of the government in Port-au-Prince. An original copy had been rumored to exist in London, Bertrand said, but he could not find it when he went looking himself about 10 years ago. If the document proves to be authentic, Bertrand

said he would like to see it returned to Haiti. “It is a very important document for our country,” said Bertrand, who first learned about the find on Thursday. “It has every bit the same importance as the American Declaration of Independence.” Raymond Joseph, Haiti’s ambassador in Washington, said that if the document found by Gaffield turns out to be authentic, it would provide the country with a boost at a desperate time.

Five urban school districts finalists for prize ATLANTA (AP) – Five school districts in Georgia, North Carolina, Maryland and Texas were named Thursday as finalists for a prestigious national prize for urban education. The Broad Foundation chose the districts from the nation’s 100 largest school systems serving a large percentage of lowincome and minority students. The districts could win up to $1 million in scholarship money for high school seniors, with $250,000 going to runnersup. The winner will be announced Oct. 19. Gwinnett County

Schools in suburban Atlanta and Socorro Independent School District in El Paso, Texas, were nominated for the second year in a row. Last year, they lost out to the Aldine Independent School District near Houston, Texas. “I think it speaks of the work of our people. You don’t get this unless you’ve got good things happening in the classroom,” said Gwinnett County Schools Superintendent J. Alvin Wilbanks in a telephone interview. “We are very happy to be nominated again.” The other finalists are:

and driven to provide a world-class education to all students, regardless of race, ethnicity or socioeconomic status,” Montgomery County Schools Superintendent Jerry D. Weast said in a news release. “The scholarships from the Broad Prize will make the dream of college a reality for many of our students.” Some highlights from the finalists’ achievements: — In 2009, Gwinnett County schools outperformed in reading and math all other Georgia districts serving students with similar family incomes.

GUILFORD COUNTY – The Board of Education will be asked again Tuesday to name the auxiliary gymnasium at Ragsdale High School for retired veteran coach Mike Raybon. Raybon, 68, spent 43 years with Guilford County Schools, 34 of them at Ragsdale High where he became one of the state’s most influential figures in high school wrestling. School officials and Tiger fans surprised Raybon, whose teams won three state championships, with the nomination earlier in the school year. The school board will hold a public hearing to hear comments during a 6 p.m. meeting in Greensboro. No other name has been suggested. The 32-page public comment file includes comments from fellow coaches, including Ragsdale wrestling coach Andy Chappell, school staff members, and several of Raybon’s former students.

“My life could have easily turned out very different than it has if it were not for a few very special people that I encountered during my time in high school,” wrote Christy Wells Meindl, a 1995 Southwest Guilford High School graduate. “Mike Raybon is at the top of that list.” Raybon was assistant principal at Southwest High from 1987-95. The nomination letter from the school booster club credits Raybon with “walking the extra mile, be it for school, community or state needs.” A member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, Raybon was one of the leaders who consolidated the State Wrestling Tournament to one site with competitions in each classification, making the tournament one of the largest in the Southeast. Raybon helped plan and organize the Jamestown Youth League and also coached numerous teams.

Judge keeps counts in NC corruption case intact RALEIGH (AP) – A federal judge has declined to dismiss any of the felony counts against an ex-aide of former North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley, saying he found no fault in the indictment. U.S. District Judge Terrence Boyle signed orders Wednesday that keep intact the 57-count indictment against Ruffin Poole, who is accused of helping move along state permits for coastal housing projects while receiving gifts and making a sizable investment return on two of those subdivisions. The trial could begin as early as April 26. Poole attorney Joe Zeszotarski asked Boyle last month to throw out 51 counts from the corruption case, arguing that the government failed to allege essential elements of bribery and extortion and made other errors. Poole didn’t fit the definition of a “public official” required as a prerequisite to be accused of 12 racketeering-related counts, Zeszotarski wrote. Boyle denied all of the motions, writing that the indictment was adequate and contained necessary allegations to charge Poole under

federal law. As for the “public official” requirement, Boyle wrote he agreed with prosecutors that “the proof will determine the sufficiency of the evidence at trial, and challenges to the proof at this stage are premature and inappropriate.” Boyle also wrote the indictment was legally sufficient to charge Poole with honest services mail fraud. Poole argues the count is unconstitutionally vague. Prosecutors and Boyle cited a ruling involving former North Carolina lottery commissioner Kevin Geddings, who was convicted of five similar counts in 2006. Zeszotarski didn’t immediately return a phone call or respond to an e-mail seeking comment on Boyle’s orders. Six of the 57 counts that weren’t challenged by Poole – including three tax evasion charges – were filed in an updated indictment just two weeks ago. All the charges against Poole, once Easley’s special counsel and personal assistant, come with maximum punishments of hundreds of years in prison and millions of dollars in fines.

Man to serve 2 life sentences for double murder SMITHFIELD (AP) – A judge has decided a North Carolina man once sentenced to death for a double murder will serve back-to-back life sentences. Superior Court Judge

Robert Hobgood sentenced 40-year-old George Goode on Thursday in Johnston County court in Smithfield. His attorneys had argued that Goode should serve the life terms simultaneously rather

than consecutively. Goode originally was sentenced to death for the 1992 murders of Leon and Margaret Batten, who lived in rural Johnston County and owned the trailer park where Goode

lived. A federal judge cited ineffective attorneys when he overturned the death sentence last year. Defense attorney Diane Savage said Thursday she will appeal the sentence.

Prepare, update emergency response plans now Now that we have had our wakeup call, everyone should take the time to review their emergency plan for the upcoming storm season. Businesses, offices, churches – anywhere people gather in groups – should review how they handled the tornado warning Sunday, what they did to warn and protect the people in their stores and buildings when the warnings were issued Sunday evening. There was no more than a couple of minutes from the time the warning was issued for northern Davidson County and Guilford/ High Point to the time I heard the roar at N. Main Street and U.S. 311. It was no more than one or two additional minutes until it ran through the neighborhoods north of there. Take the time to make sure your National Weather Service weather radio with the proper S.A.M.E. codes is working, turned on and where you can hear it, even when you are asleep. A slightly different path could have taken this one right through Staples shopping center, the Food Lion shopping center, Wal-Mart and surrounding neighborhoods including the Oak Hollow Mall area! So get a weather alert radio and get a plan together for severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings and plan to act as soon as warnings are issued. Everyone should have a family

Focus efforts now on city’s heart

he Heart of the Triad regional development planning idea is more palatable today than it was six years ago. Since its highly controversial early days, the HOT planning process has evolved to include representatives of conservation groups and residents in the 18,000-acre area lying between High Point, Greensboro and Winston-Salem. And the plan that has been produced has come to include language that places special emphasis on protection and preservation of the HOT area’s natural landscape and features. Initial fears that the plan of development would be to flatten everything and pave over it have subsided as the planning stages moved forward and areas for business and residential development were identified. Additionally identified were areas that should remain as farmland, open space or parks and woodlands. Also, the plan’s conclusion contains this statement: “Successful implementation of the plan should add greatly to the economic vitality of the region and complement the critically important effort to further build up the urban centers of the Triad.” The key words there are “build up the urban centers,” and those words should stand out clearly for High Point officials. The city has allocated significant monies to the HOT planning process. That’s an acceptable investment because developing a strategic land use plan for that area is important. But now, once that plan wins expected approvals, it’s time for High Point officials to begin putting serious resources into redeveloping the city’s urban center. Redevelopment plans and/or ideas for revitalization are abundant. Areas such as Washington Drive, Uptowne, the southern part of the city and others are in serious need of city and private development partnerships to speed renewal. It’s time for High Point officials to focus on the heart of the city, not the Heart of the Triad.

I don’t have time to mess with this census thing

‘I

am a busy person. Why do I have to fill out this U.S. Census form anyhow?” “The U.S. Constitution says that every 10 years, the federal government must count every resident in the United States. It sounds simple, but what it really comes down to is politics and money.” “How does it involve politics?” “There are 435 seats in the U.S. House. The government uses the population count to determine the number of seats your state will have. In 2002, after the 2000 census results were tallied, 12 seats moved across 18 states.” “Change happens. What’s the big deal?” “When a state gains or loses seats, the political party in power redraws congressional districts with hopes of making it impossible for the other party to win.” “Politicians would do that? I’m shocked. But what does the census have to do with money?” “It determines, says the census form, the ‘amount of government money your neighborhood will receive.’ The idea is that the more people the census determines to be living in a region, the greater percentage of federal dough that region will receive. You better fill out the form to get your fair share.” “Wait a second. I work hard and pay taxes to the federal government. The government skims off its share, then sends what is left back to me based on the number of people who live in my neighborhood?” “You’re beginning to understand. The government sends your neighborhood money to fix roads, build bridges and fund all kinds of government programs – so that your House member can take credit.” “That doesn’t sound like a very efficient way to use my money.” “It’s much worse than that. Our government is spending hundreds of billions more than it is taking in. It is borrowing that money. Your children and grandchildren will be saddled with the cost of that debt.” “People not yet born are already in debt? But how does this tie into the census?”

“If the people in your neighborhood don’t complete the census form, some other neighborhood will receive your children’s and grandchildren’s hardearned money – that would be immoral!” OPINION “I’ll complete the form as soon as I get it. Is it diffiTom cult?” Purcell “Not at all. There are 10 ■■■ questions. You are asked to state your name, sex, age, race, telephone number and whether you own or rent your home. There are no questions about your religion, whether you are a legal U.S. resident or if you have a Social Security number.” “That figures. I’d be happy to say what my religion and Social Security number are, but I’m touchy about giving my age. What if choose to keep some of this information private?” “If you don’t complete and mail the form by April 1, census workers will come to your home. If you don’t cooperate with them, criminal charges may be filed or you may be fined up to $100. Besides, the information is to be kept private.” “OK, then let me get it all straight: I need to complete the entire form by April 1 to ensure that my state counts as many people as possible, so that my representative will be able to take credit for as much government spending as possible, and so that my neighborhood will receive its fair share of my children’s and grandchildren’s hard-earned money?” “Now you’ve got it.” “Too bad the census people can’t collect information of people who aren’t born yet.” “Why is that?” “If we had their future addresses, we could send them cards to thank them for so generously advancing us billions of dollars of their hard-earned dough.” TOM PURCELL, a humor columnist for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, is nationally syndicated exclusively by Cagle Cartoons newspaper syndicate.

Cardinals defend pope on church sex abuse scandal

Afghan President Hamid Karzai delivers a speech at the Election Commission office in Kabul, Afghanistan, Thursday.

Afghan president blames foreigners for vote fraud KABUL (AP) – President Hamid Karzai lashed out at the U.N. and international community Thursday, accusing them of interfering in last year’s fraud-tarnished presidential election and seeking to weaken his authority after parliament rejected his bid to expand his control over the country’s electoral institutions. Karzai did not specifically mention the United States, but his harsh words – and his practice of blaming foreigners for the nation’s problems – reflect his increasingly difficult relations with Washington and its international allies.

Israeli aircraft strike targets in Gaza GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Israeli aircraft have struck multiple targets in the Gaza Strip following a rocket attack on southern Israel. No injuries were reported. The Israeli military says aircraft struck four targets early Friday: two weapons-making factories and two weaponsstorage facilities. Hamas security officials say 10 sites were hit.

Good Friday launch gets go-ahead BAIKONUR, Kazakhstan – A NASA astronaut and two Russian colleagues received the thumbs-up Thursday for a mission that will boost the population of the International Space Station to six. California native Tracy Caldwell Dyson and Russians Alexander Skvortsov and Mikhail Kornienko are to blast off at 10:04 a.m. today from the Russian-leased Baikonur space center in southern Kazakhstan and will reach the orbiting science lab on Easter.

Police apologize for traveler’s death VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Canada’s national police force apologized and settled a lawsuit involving the case of an unruly Polish traveler who died after being repeatedly zapped with a Taser at Vancouver’s airport. The death of Robert Dziekanski was widely seen around the world after a bystander filmed it. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

President Barack Obama paid an unannounced visit here Sunday in hopes of setting a new tone in dealings with the Afghan leader, as the U.S.-led coalition prepares for a showdown with the Taliban this summer in its southern stronghold of Kandahar – Karzai’s home province. The Obama administration has maintained a reliable Afghan political partner is critical to turning back the Taliban, and State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley rejected any attempt to undermine Karzai. “Karzai has to step forward, lead

his government in terms of convincing the international community and the Afghan people that they are taking measurable steps to reduce corruption,” Crowley said in Washington. “It’s not in anyone’s interest to see Afghanistan poorly led or weakly led in the future.” Karzai’s international stature was battered last year after a U.N.backed watchdog committee threw out nearly a third of his votes in the Aug. 20 presidential election, denying him a first-round victory and forcing him into a runoff, which was canceled after his remaining challenger dropped out.

Drug cartels target Mexican army in brazen attacks REYNOSA, Mexico (AP) – In a ratcheting up of tactics in a long, bloody war, drug cartel gunmen made seven especially brazen assaults on Mexican soldiers in one day this week, throwing up roadblocks near army garrisons and spraying checkpoints with automatic weapons fire. The apparently coordinated assaults raise the prospect that parts of Mexico could be descending into open warfare between the cartels and the government. Drug bosses appeared to have little to show for Tuesday’s attacks near the Texas border except a body count for their own side: 18 attackers dead, while the military

said its own casualties were limited to one soldier with a wounded toe. But there have been more attacks since, and the battles have shown that gang henchmen are as well armed, if not as well trained, as the soldiers. Armored vehicles, explosive devices and grenade launchers were among the items the military seized. The attacks are occurring as two cartels are engaged in a violent power struggle of their own.

Medvedev promises response against terrorists MAKHACHKALA, Russia (AP) – President Dmitry Medvedev made a surprise visit Thursday to the violence-wracked southern province of Dagestan, telling police and security forces to use tougher, “more cruel” measures to fight the “scum” responsible for terrorist attacks. Russia’s security chief said some terror suspects had been detained. Twin suicide bombings in Moscow – which Islamic militants from the North Caucasus claim to have carried out – have refocused attention on the

violence that for years has been confined to Russia’s predominantly Muslim regions. The rush-hour attacks Monday on the Moscow subway killed 39 people and left nearly 90 hospitalized. On Wednesday, two suicide bombings in Dagestan killed 12 people, including nine policemen, a frequent target of attacks in part because they represent Russian authority. Another explosion Thursday killed two suspected militants and wounded a third in Dagestan near the border with Chechnya.

VATICAN CITY (AP) – Cardinals across Europe used their Holy Thursday sermons to defend Pope Benedict XVI from accusations he played a role in covering up sex abuse scandals, and an increasingly angry Vatican sought to deflect any criticism in the Western media. The relationship between the church and the media has become increasingly bitter as the scandal buffeting the 1 billion-member church has touched the pontiff himself. On Wednesday, the church singled out The New York Times for criticism in an unusually harsh attack. Western news organizations have reported

extensively on the burgeoning scandal, and new details have emerged on Benedict an almost daily basis. On Holy Thursday, Benedict first celebrated a Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica dedicated to the union between the pope and the world’s priests. In the late afternoon, he washed the feet of 12 priests in a ceremony symbolizing humility and commemorating Christ’s Last Supper with his 12 apostles on the evening before his Good Friday crucifixion.

Man arrested in connection to gang-rape case TRENTON, N.J. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Police ramped up their investigation Thursday into the case of a 7-yearold girl who they say was gang-raped by a group of men while her 15-year-old stepsister watched and got paid for it. Police conducted a predawn raid at the troubled public housing complex, a high-rise apartment building so dangerous that officers are hired as security guards at night. Hours before, they arrested a 20-year-old Tren-

ton man on charges he had sex with the teenager in one of the apartments. Gregory Leary Joseph Leary was booked Wednesday night on charges of statutory rape and endangering the welfare of a child. Under New Jersey law, the 15-year-old is too young to consent to sex. Leary was being held Thursday in jail on a $200,000 cash bond.

Government mails out more census forms Inside...

Beware of scams. 3B

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Although North Carolina residents are returning their 2010 Census forms slightly faster than most people in the country, the government has decided to mail out more forms. Many North Carolina households will receive a replacement 2010 Census questionnaire in the next few days aimed at increasing returns and saving the cost of sending out census workers for a neighborhood count. “From our research, we estimate that mailing out a replacement questionnaire in targeted areas might save more than $500 million by raising the participation rate by 7 to 10 percentage points,” William W. Hatcher, regional director for the U.S. Census Bureau, said Thursday. Nationwide, the bureau will mail out about 40 million replacement questionnaires to households in areas with low mail return rates in Census 2000, even if residents have returned the original 2010 questionnaire. The 10-question census questionnaires were mailed to 4.23 million North Carolina households in mid-March. As of Wednesday, 54 percent of the households in North Carolina had mailed back census forms, just slightly ahead of the national rate of 52 percent.

RETURNS

----

High Point: Census return rates varied from 41 percent in the West End to 58 percent in portions of north High Point. Triad: Through Thursday, Rockingham County led returns at 60 percent, followed by Davidson and Randolph at 59 percent, Alamance at 57 percent Forsyth at 56 percent and Guilford at 54 percent. N.C: Perquimans, in the northeast corner of the state, and Davie, southwest of Winston-Salem led the return rate at 63 percent. Watauga was the lowest at 46 percent. Source: U.S. Census Bureau

In 2000, the national mail participation rate was 72 percent. Residents who have filed a form need do nothing more. People who still have the original questionnaire should fill it out and mail it back. Both forms have bar codes to ensure that people are counted only once and in the right place. “The replacement questionnaire is a safety net and a wise investment,” Hatcher said. “It reminds people who have not mailed back their questionnaires to send it in now.” Census takers will start knocking on doors May 1 at households that have not returned the surveys. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

GUILFORD COUNTY – Residents of the area who have boxes or files filled with bank statements, credit card reports or other documents that could lead to havoc if found by con artists will have a chance to shred them later this month. The Better Business Bureau of Central North Carolina will host a free document-shredding for citizens and small businesses from 9 a.m. to noon April 17 in Greensboro. The consumer agency organizes the document-shredding at least once a year as a community service. The shredding of personal documents will take place in the parking lot of the Friendly-Holden Building at 3608 W. Friendly Ave. Participants are asked to use the W. Friendly Avenue entrance of the building near Friendly Center shopping center. “Shredding sensitive documents is the first step to protecting yourself from identity theft,” said Kevin Hinterberger, president and chief executive officer of the Greensboro-based agency. The Better Business Bureau handled 665 complaints of identity theft in the Greensboro-High Point area in 2009. Meanwhile, Guilford County officials report a record response to an effort last week to collect electronic waste products. There were 430 carloads of unwanted electronics dropped during the free, second annual E-Cycle 2010 in Pleasant Garden. The collection kept almost 40,000 pounds of outdated electronics out of landfills. “This weight represents a dramatic 86 percent increase over the 2009 event, when 240 cars dropped off 21,000 pounds of e-waste at the Pleasant Garden Town Hall,” organizers report. E-Cycle 2010 was co-sponsored by the Guilford County Planning and Development Department, the Guilford County Sheriff’s Prison Farm and the town of Pleasant Garden. Items that were dropped off include computers, televisions, cell phones, electronic toys and games, DVD and VHS players and stereo equipment. All electronic waste collected at the event is being recycled through Synergy Recycling, a local contractor. Free electronics recycling is available year-round to county residents through the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center’s E-Waste Recycling Program, sponsored by Guilford County and the city of Greensboro. Organizers say E-Cycle 2010 was designed to highlight electronic waste as a hazard and prepare the community for the statewide landfill bans on computer equipment and televisions that will take effect Jan. 1.

Residents deal with aftermath of storms BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Although it took the experts a couple of days to confirm it, you don’t have to tell Judy Skinner that a tornado hit her Kim Drive neighborhood on Sunday. All you have to do is look at the devastation. “The storm skipped through the neighborhood,” Skinner said Thursday as recovery efforts continued along Kim Drive in north High Point. “We lost some trees and some things in the garage got jostled, but some houses were destroyed.” The National Weather Service has offered more details about the six or more tornados that touched down in North Carolina on Sunday. Those verifications are needed for government agencies to process assistance applications. In High Point, the number of damaged homes and businesses has been estimated at about 600. The Skinner family was visiting a relative when the tornado struck their home of 17 years. The family returned to find the damage. Later the storm debris path became visible. “It was scary,” Skinner said. The Skinner house also had some slight roof damage from winds that reached an estimated 140 mph in the center of the impact zone. “The response in our neighborhood has been amazing,” Skinner said. “People came over with chain saws and the city had our power back on by Monday and city trucks have

Impact: A tornado, estimated at between a F2 and F3 on the Fujita scale of tornado intensity, cut a path of as much as 300 yards wide through neighborhoods in High Point on Sunday. Storms of that intensity carry winds of up to 200 mph and can uproot trees, lift automobiles and tear down the walls of wellconstructed houses. Since 1954, no F3 storm has stuck Guilford County, according to National Climatic Data Center records.

The elder Hardee was hospitalized March 21 and was suffering from complications from advanced Parkinson’s disease. Hardee and his wife moved to the area in August 2008 to live with their son. Hardee died in his wife’s arms. “Roy Hardee was an old school newsman,” said CBS News national correspondent Byron Pitts, who worked for Hardee at WNCT in Greenville. “He loved God, his family, the news and barbecue. He believed all news was local and news mattered.”

Ex-Ford press secretary dead at 87 WASHINGTON (AP) – Jerald terHorst, who resigned as White House press secretary rather than defend President Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon, is dead at age 87. A longtime Detroit News journalist, terHorst served for a month as Ford’s spokesman in 1974 before quitting to protest the president’s decision not to hold his predecessor accountable for any crimes in the Watergate scandal. TerHorst told Ford in his resignation letter he could not credibly speak for him in defending the pardon while young men who evaded Vietnam military service as a matter of conscience had to pay for their actions. TerHorst died Wednesday night of congestive heart failure at his retirement community in Asheville, N.C., attended by his grown children, according to his son Peter, who informed the Gridiron Club and Foundation in Washington. Ford issued the pardon as a way to heal a nation badly shaken by the scandal that drove Nixon from office after the 1972 break-in at Democratic headquarters by burglars tied to Nixon’s re-election committee.

Census scam artists pose a threat ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

TRIAD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; There are still scam artists out there trying to use the census to obtain sensitive information, government officials warned this week. In some rural areas and mountain and beach resorts, census takers already are going doorto-door. For most areas, the door-to-door census taking begins May 1 and will continue through July.

The simple census document asks for basic information such as names of people living in the home, as well as their sex, race, and age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As our 2010 Census operations kick into high gear, we want to protect the people of North Carolina while we are asking their cooperation,â&#x20AC;? said William W. Hatcher, regional director for the U.S. Census Bureau. Keep these warnings in mind:

Online â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The 2010 Census form cannot be filled out online. The Census Bureau also will never send out e-mails requesting more detailed information or your participation. Information â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The census bureau will never ask for full social security numbers, nor will it request donations. It does not request PIN codes or passwords for credit cards, banks or any oth-

er financial accounts. Identification â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Check for a valid Census ID badge if a census worker comes to your door. The worker might also carry a black bag with the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;U.S. CENSUS BUREAUâ&#x20AC;? written on it. If you ask, a real census worker also will provide supervisor contact information and local census office telephone numbers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A guiding principle for the Census Bureau is to hire people who live in the

SCAMS

----

The rules: Census employees take an oath of confidentiality and can face a fine of up to $250,000 and/ or five years in prison for violating that oath. Filling out the 2010 Census form is mandatory. Violations: To report a scam, go to the U.S. Census Bureauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website â&#x20AC;&#x201D; http://2010.census.gov/ 2010census/privacy/fraudulent-activity-and-scams. php neighborhoods where they will work,â&#x20AC;? Hatcher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are more likely to trust and cooperate with

people they know. We want residents to feel safe so census workers can safely do their jobs.â&#x20AC;?

Small plane crash

BASIIC SER RVICE AVAI AIL ILLABLE

Rescue workers work in the marsh along side the Stono River after an airplane crashed Thursday on Johns Island, S.C. The small plane crashed off the runway at a coastal South Carolina airport, killing the pilot.

Wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly male colleagues are threat to jealous husband

ear Abby: My husband, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hugh,â&#x20AC;? and I have been married 16 years. We generally have a good relationship, with few arguments. We seldom participate in activities that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include each other. Three years ago, I was hired to work in the office of a manufacturing facility. The majority of the workers are men. Although Hugh denies it, I suspect heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncomfortable about it. When I participate in company events for employees only, he becomes jealous and rants that it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fair for spouses to be excluded. Once in a while, my co-workers and I go out for drinks after work. When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m asked to join them, Hugh goes on the offensive, demanding to know all the details. He then calls my cell phone repeatedly until I get home. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hurt that he finds me and my associates so untrustworthy. He has met the people I work with and has seen that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all friendly and happily married. I encourage him to do things on his own with his friends, hoping heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see that I trust him and will return the favor. What can I do to improve the situation? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Pulled In Two in Pennsylvania Dear Pulled In Two: Have you talked to your husband about his behavior and how it makes you

feel? If not, you should. But please understand that short of quitting your job and going ADVICE to work in a convent, Dear you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Abby improve â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; the situation. The problem is your husband is insecure. Only he can fix that, which would first require his admitting it. Sad to say, he may not even be able to admit it to himself. This is a difficult time to go job-hunting, so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t advise it. But in the meantime, please do not make his problem your own. Accept that he has a problem, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow it to jeopardize your work relationships. Dear Abby: Is it OK to have sex when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a guest in someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home? I say no, but my husband feels the host knows weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re married so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not inappropriate. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rude and shows a lack of respect for the host. Would you please settle this once and for all? When we stay with friends, we end up fighting during our vacation. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Uncomfortable in Texas Dear Uncomfortable: For a married couple to make love when they are houseguests isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rude or disrespectful, provided the pictures donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall off

the walls and there are no complaints about noise from the neighbors. However, if the idea makes you uncomfortable and unable to relax and enjoy the intimacy, then you and your husband should vacation in a hotel where you can expect to have more privacy. Dear Abby: How do I stop my shoes from squeaking? I have a pair that I love, but they squeak so badly it drives me crazy. Everyone can hear my shoes when I am walking. Can you help? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Not The Old Soft Shoe Dear N.T.O.S.S.: According to the book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Haleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hints,â&#x20AC;? a way to solve your problem is to pierce the soles of your squeaky shoes four or five times with a darning needle at the ball of the foot. If that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do the trick, â&#x20AC;&#x153;place the shoes in a solution of salt water at room temperature, just so the soles are covered. After soaking for 15 minutes, dry them off and place the soles in boiled linseed oil overnight. The next morning, remove the shoes, dry them well and your finicky footwear should be completely silenced!â&#x20AC;? DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Fund. The land was previously owned by Selma Ward, who inherited it from her parents. Combined with another 272 acres purchased last year by the N.C. Zoo Society along Old Cox Road adjacent to the zoo, the N.C. Zoo now encompasses 2,040 acres, although only 500 are developed. The Ward Nature Preserve will not immediately be available for public access. Eventually, it will provide about two miles of hiking trails that will connect to the zoo through the 270-acre property purchased by the Zoo Society.

Other brave men to walk the runway were my favorite Max â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Max Meeks, Assistant Chief of Police Marty Sumner and Ed Price, The High Point Enterprise Citizen of the Year, who as they say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;stole the show!â&#x20AC;? One by one emcee, FOX 8 meteorologist Van Denton, colorfully described each outfit to a tee. Once on stage, I forgot my nerves and twirled and strutted around the ballroom without a runway mishap or a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wardrobe malfunction!â&#x20AC;? Thank goodness. While this luncheon was so much fun for everyone, the words of former Salvation Army Gen. Evangeline Booth could almost be heard, â&#x20AC;&#x153; There is no reward equal to that of doing the most good to the most people in the most need!â&#x20AC;?

Another sign of spring! Would I pass the scoopers â&#x20AC;&#x153;scoopâ&#x20AC;? test? That was my question. I was quickly welcomed by the Shakespearean actors in costume and NCSF marketeer Paul Siceloff, who had encouraged and lured me to scoop. Joan Andrews â&#x20AC;&#x153;manâ&#x20AC;?ned the donations box, creatively dubbed the Globe Theatre. I was quickly escorted behind the ice cream counter and, with scooper in hand, learned the rudiments of scooping. Do you want a cup (donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget

the spoon) or a cone? If cone, then ask, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you want sugar or cake?â&#x20AC;? Now to the flavor. I had some ices and chocolates. Some knew precisely â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cherry Garcia was the most popular. Others, primarily the little ones who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see into the tubs needed some encouraging by Mom or Dad. Chocolate seemed to be their favorite. I must give credit to the staff at Ben & Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for guiding me through this. I became a pro with the chocolate fudge brownie ice cream and sweet cream & cookies. I

scooped, then dipped in water and was ready for more. It was fun, again thanks to the patience of Ben & Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew in helping me. When my â&#x20AC;&#x153;shiftâ&#x20AC;? was over I scooped for myself â&#x20AC;&#x201C;what flavor, you ask? For me it was the chocolate chip cookie dough and I loved every â&#x20AC;&#x153;lickâ&#x20AC;? of it. Ben & Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Free Cone Day (kudos to them) netted the Shakespeare Festival $857.90! Siceloff also told me about a madcap caper which promises to be a not-to-miss event. Managing Director Pedro Silva is writing a

spoof about High Point that the Festival plans to present later this year. Silva is very creative so this should be a real treat for everyone. Broadway bound, perhaps? It is titles â&#x20AC;&#x153;Furniture City Folly: The Panty Hose Caperâ&#x20AC;? and features a cast of characters with leading High Pointers such as Jack Slane, Mayor Becky Smothers, Max Meeks and even Congressman Howard Coble. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to it. Well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the high points of High Point for this week! MARY BOGEST is an artist and writer who resides in High Point | MSBogest@aol.com

o much for the adage â&#x20AC;&#x153;March roars in like a lion and leaves like a lamb.â&#x20AC;? But once again, High Pointers have risen to the occasion to help their brethren, their neighbors, this time helping them deal with the effects of a tornado. Fortunately and almost unbelievably, considering the amount of damage, there was thankfully no loss of life. With some cleanup and rebuilding, all of their dreams still can come true. Now, on with this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column. As the once barren ground and trees begin to magically bloom into a magnificent colorful display of spring, so do a colorful array of fundraisers. This year it begins with â&#x20AC;&#x153;red.â&#x20AC;? I know you know this one. It is the Red Kettle Luncheon put on every other year by the Salvation Army Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auxiliary and includes an incredible silent auction and fashion show. I was very honored to be selected to be a model. I arrived early to look at all of the wonderful silent auction items as the sounds of pianist Bettie York permeated the hallways at the High Point Country Club. I was surprised to see just how many had arrived before me. The Red Kettle Luncheon has become one of those not-to-be-missed events. I spied Auxiliary President Punkin Parker doing last-minute preparations. Lou Cater, co-chairman of the event, was taking tickets and I never did catch up with co-chairman Mary Berger. There were almost 200 silent auction items plus a live auction conducted by High Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s auctioneermaestro Herman Crawford, donned in his Scottish kilt. The live auction included a one-week stay in a Topsail beach house donated by Robin and Bill Goodman. This was Capt. Vicki Perezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first Red Kettle Luncheon since she, her husband Tony and their children moved to High Point less than two years ago. Vicki told me of its significance, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Individuals will have a bed to sleep in and will eat a hot meal tonight in our shelter; a young person will be able to come to the Salvation Boys & Girls Club this afternoon and have tutoring in a safe place instead of going home to an empty house in fear of what is happening right outside their door.â&#x20AC;? Meanwhile, as bidding became fast and furious, the other models began arriving to prepare for the fashion show. Steinmartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Robin Perino had all of the outfits and accessories ready for the models as we were kept sequestered until the time had arrived. Janice Peters and Debbie Irvin were co-chairman of the fashion show and helped with zippers,etc. My fashion statement was a long beach dress with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;shrugâ&#x20AC;? (new fashion term which means it just covered the shoulders) and a straw hat (filled with tissue paper to fit my small head). I admit that I was bundle of nerves as I anticipated a runway mishap. I was sure that the other models had no such trepidation. They included FOX 8 news anchor Julie Luck and reporter Kristin Nelson; Nancy Stewart who is manager of the Salvation Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s William Booth Apartments, which provides safe housing for senior citizens; Tonia Stephenson, executive director of the Salvation Army

That’s not particularly strenuous. Scope exams of the esophagus are another way of arriving at what’s causing a swallowing problem. It’s a little more involved, but should not be off limits to you.

I used to donate blood. I read where frequent donations can make you anemic. Should I start donating again? I am in training to join the military. – S.B. Regular blood donation ought not to make a person anemic. The Red Cross routinely tests for anemia before donation. Talk to the Red Cross and see what it thinks. You have to make up your own mind. Perhaps spacing donations further apart would be a safe compromise.

NEW YORK – Jennifer Hudson didn’t gain a huge amount of weight when she was pregnant with her son, but it was enough to make her do a double-take when she saw a picture of herself. Hudson, a former “American Idol” finalist who won a best supporting actress Academy Award for “Dreamgirls,” has lost the baby weight and more, and she says it’s because of Weight Watchers – for which she is the new spokeswoman.

Officer uses stun gun on unruly boy MARTINSVILLE, Ind. (AP) – Two officers called to a home day care to subdue an unruly 10year-old have been suspended after one used a stun gun on the boy and another slapped him in the mouth, a central Indiana police chief said Thursday. The child suffered no significant injuries. Both of-

Jane Aldridge, 18, a fashion blogger on her site called “Sea of Shoes,” poses at her home in Trophy Club, Texas.

Teen bloggers have become powerhouse in industry THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ROPHY CLUB, Texas – Jane Aldridge hoped to get a few readers when she started a style blog at 15. Today that sounds impossibly modest. Aldridge, now 18, gets about 70,000 hits a day at her blog Sea of Shoes. She’s been featured in magazines like Vanity Fair and Teen Vogue and has designed shoes for Urban Outfitters. “I didn’t realize at the time that I started my blog that blogs would ever become what they are now,” she said. Young bloggers like Aldridge have become an unexpected powerhouse

Aldridge, now 18, gets about 70,000 hits a day at her blog Sea of Shoes.

Aldridge shows off some of her shoes featured on her site called “Sea of Shoes.” She has drawn a big following on her Web site.

The Mental Health Association in Greensboro has announced a new community resource, Triad Warm Line, a non-crisis support line for individuals who may feel isolated and need assistance coping with the challenges associated with mental health conditions. The Triad Warm Line can be accessed by calling (336) 272-2121. A phone call to the warm line will provide the caller with encouragement, reflective insight and referrals to other community resources, all with a compassionate understanding of mental illness and the associated symptoms. The line will be operated by peers, who themselves have a mental health diagnosis, and are trained to help others through peersupport techniques. The line will be in operation during the following hours: Thursdays from 4 to 9 p.m., Fridays from 4 to 10 p.m., Saturdays from 3 to 10 p.m., and Sundays from 3 to 9 p.m. For additional information about this resource, or to request Triad Warm Line cards, call the Mental Health Association in Greensboro at (336) 373-1402, Ext. 208.

in the fashion industry, gracing front rows at Fashion Week, teaming up with top magazines and working with mainstream clothing brands. Aldridge is among those who have been read by editors and designers for the last couple of years, said Jane Keltner, fashion news director for Teen Vogue. “In the last year it’s just exploded,” Keltner said. Thirteen-year-old Tavi Gevinson, who writes the blog Style Rookie, has helped Rodarte introduce its line for Target, appeared on the cover of Pop magazine and been spotted at various fashion shows around the world. Her fashion commentary has even appeared in Harper’s Bazaar. American Apparel has featured several young bloggers in ads, including Karla Deras of Karla’s

Closet. Marc Jacobs named a bag after blogger Bryanboy. Keltner said that brands are smart to get on board with bloggers who already have a following and are influential in the fashion world. It was a good way for Target to connect with customers, said spokesman Joshua Thomas. “Obviously Tavi’s blog is extremely popular and she’s really developed a loyal following,” Thomas said. Aldridge’s retail ventures have included designing a trench coat for Gryphon with her mother Judy, who has her own blog called Atlantis Home. Gryphon designer Aimee Cho said she liked how the mother and daughter were able to wear a lot of the same clothes, but in different ways and have fun with fashion. “I do think clothes should be fun and that’s what I like about Jane and Judy,” she said. Cho said

bloggers, especially teens, offer an unfiltered perspective. Still, there have been some rumblings against the wunderkinds, especially Tavi. In December, Elle magazine’s Anne Slowey told New York magazine’s the Cut blog that she thought Harper’s Bazaar hiring Gevinson “feels a big gimmicky.” “What am I getting out of a 13year-old’s opinion about fashion?” she asked. Simon Doonan, creative director of Barneys New York, said that while he respects their work and enthusiasm for fashion, he feels a bit protective of the young style bloggers who are getting so much attention at such a young age. “In your 20s, it’s great to be a nobody so that you can figure out who you are and not place any expectations on yourself,” he said. Success in the fashion world, he said, calls for talent plus maturity.

Friday, April 2, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Christopher Meloni, 49; Emmylou Harris, 63; Linda Hunt, 65; Leon Russell, 68 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: In order to take full advantage of all the changes heading your way, clear up unfinished business in your personal, financial and professional lives. Investments, settlements or any dealings with agencies or institutions will be to your benefit. A change of location or making your life and living arrangements simpler will make a big difference in your outlook, attitude and future. Your numbers are 2, 12, 17, 27, 29, 36, 44 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Keep a close watch on your financial situation. An opportunity to make some subtle changes will allow you the freedom you’ve been looking for. A romantic dilemma will leave you in limbo. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Troubles at home and with your relationships can be expected. Don’t let a stubborn attitude lead to problems you can’t reverse. Focus on your goals, not silly arguments. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your involvement in a good cause can be beneficial but, if you are too busy doing all the work, you will miss meeting someone with something to offer you. An unexpected change of plans must be handled honestly. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t be afraid of change and you won’t be disappointed. Networking can broaden your awareness while helping you scope out some interesting alternatives to the way you live your life. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Get business out of the way before you decide to play. Emotional deception can be costly if you listen to a risky scheme. Focus on your goals, completing your work and getting together with friends, lovers or family. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t believe everything you hear. You will be up against some tough competition but, if you are honest about who you are and what you have to offer, you will win in the end. Love is in the stars, whether you are with someone or single. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The more time you spend talking to others, the sooner you will realize how much you have to offer. An interesting change regarding working will leave you open to take on a project that offers greater income. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You need to forget about serious issues and take a moment to relax. If you push to get things done, you will hit a brick wall. You will accomplish so much more if you can distance yourself from business and emotional worries that cannot be resolved quite yet. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will come into money in an unusual way but, if you aren’t honest and upfront, you will face opposition. Keep a low profile and don’t share information on how much you have or are entitled to receive. Exaggeration will lead to trouble. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Join forces with people who have similar interests and you will make headway. Don’t, however, believe everything you hear. Check out references and ask questions that will allow you to decide who is a good fit for you and who isn’t. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Someone is likely to withhold information. Be as honest as you can. Offer alternatives if someone is dissatisfied with your plans. Be willing to work with what’s being offered and you will find common ground. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you want to know what’s going on, ask. Your ability to twist things around to fit your needs will enable you to control a situation that has the potential to spin out of control. Don’t fall victim to uncertainty when a decision must be made in order to get ahead. ★★★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

In the Life Master Pairs at the ACBL Fall Championships, North-South landed at three spades. That looks to me like a “normal” contract – one I’d expect at most tables. East cashed two hearts and the ace of clubs and led a second club. Declarer, Kevin Collins, won and led a trump to the king and a trump to ... his ace. He then exited with a club. East won and had to lead a diamond to avoid yielding a ruff-sluff, and Collins played low and took nine tricks, plus 140, when West had to produce the queen.

OVERTRICK When the deal appeared in the “Daily Bulletin,” a writer focused on declarer’s end play. What struck me was his refusal to try for an overtrick, perhaps essential for a good score. What if the East-West diamonds had been reversed? Maybe declarer did not finesse in diamonds because he had guessed right in trumps. Some Souths would misguess, so declarer was ahead of the game already. If the diamonds lay as they did, his play would earn a fine matchpoint score indeed.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A J 9 5 3 H 6 4 D A J 6 C K 8 7. Your partner opens one heart, you respond one spade and he bids two clubs. What do you say? ANSWER: You have balanced pattern and two possible diamond tricks, hence you can jump to 3NT. But since partner might hold a hand such as 10 6 4, A K 8 5 2, 4, A Q J 4, an option is a forcing bid of two diamonds to hear more from him. If he bids 2NT next, you’ll raise. If he shows a preference for spades, you can bid four spades. North dealer Neither side 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.

Deliver what? No, they didn’t hear a hilariously funny joke. These storks communicate with body language as they sit in their nest at Bergenhusen, northern Germany. And, no they don’t deliver human babies.

Flyers buzz Tar Heels

Dayton’s Chris Wright (left) shoots over North Carolina’s Tyler Zeller during the first half of the NIT championship game Thursday at Madison Square Garden in New York. Dayton took control in the first half and prevailed, 79-68.

NEW YORK (AP) — Dayton denied last year’s national champs another title and took home one of its own for the first time in 42 years. Marcus Johnson scored 20 points and the Flyers handed North Carolina one more disheartening loss at the end of a lousy season, beating the Tar Heels 79-68 Thursday night to win the NIT at Madison Square Garden. Reserve guard Paul Williams added 16 points for No. 3 seed Dayton (2512), which bounced back from a disappointing year to capture its third NIT title and first since 1968. Picked to win the Atlantic 10 Conference, the deep and athletic Flyers faded late and missed the NCAA tournament before turning things around and ending on a high note. “Our guys played with great toughness and desire,” Dayton coach Brian Gregory said. “We answered everything they threw at us.” Will Graves shot North Carolina back into the game in the second half, finishing with 25 points for the fourth-seeded Tar Heels (20-17), who started the season hoping for back-to-back NCAA championships. Chris Wright had 14 points for the Flyers, as did tournament MVP Chris Johnson — who scored 22 in a semifinal victory over Mississippi. Including the Rebels and Tar Heels, Dayton beat four teams from BCS conferences en route to the championship. Cincinnati and Illinois were the others. Coach Roy Williams

and the Tar Heels fell short in their attempt to grab a somewhat dubious piece of college basketball history. A victory Thursday night would have made them the first team to follow up an NCAA national championship with an NIT crown the next year. With officials discussing expanding the NCAA tournament to 96 teams as soon as next year, this could be the last NIT, an event with a rich history that dates to 1938. NCAA vice president Greg Shaheen said Thursday no decision has been made about the future of the postseason NIT, which is operated independently by the NCAA. How down-and-out were these Tar Heels heading into the postseason? When the 32team NIT draw was announced, they opened at 35-1 odds to win the title. And while Dayton has been a regular in this event, it was strange to see North Carolina on the college basketball undercard this time of year. One of the sport’s true heavyweights, the Tar Heels own five NCAA national championships, including an 89-72 victory over Michigan State in last year’s title game. Tom Izzo and the Spartans are back in the Final Four, set to play Butler in Indianapolis on Saturday. North Carolina was left to chase a consolation prize following a 16-16 regular season wrecked by injuries, leaky defense and a string of embarrassing losses. The blue bloods from Tobacco Road won their only NIT title in 1971.

Wake cupboard bare with Aminu’s departure BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – The rebuilding for Wake Forest basketball next season officially went from remodeling project to more along the lines of extreme makeover Thursday. School officials said that 6-foot-9 sophomore Al-Farouq Aminu, who led the ACC in rebounding last season, is putting his name in the hopper for the NBA draft and has hired an agent, assuring that he will not return next season. “This was a difficult decision,” Aminu said in a statement. “But after talking it over with my family and my coaches, I believe now is the right time for me to pursue my dream of playing in the NBA. I want to thank Wake Forest and the basketball program for all they have done for me the past two years.” Aminu averaged 15.8 points and 10.7 rebounds per game last season, good enough for second team All-ACC honors. In 62 games in which he saw action for the Deacons, he start-

ed 60 and averaged 14.4 points and 9.4 rebounds. Wake went to the NCAA tournament in both of Aminu’s seasons, losing to Cleveland State in the first round last year and to Kentucky in the second round this season. Aminu Mock projections place Aminu as high as the fourth pick in the first round of the NBA draft, scheduled June 24 at Madison Square Garden in New York. “After several discussions with Al-Farouq and extensive research with NBA executives, we feel that it is in his best interest to pursue an NBA career,” Wake coach Dino Gaudio said in a statement. “We also believe that it is important for him to return in the future and complete his coursework to earn his college degree. I want to wish Al-Farouq all the best.” The departure of Aminu along with seniors Ish Smith, Chas McFarland, L.D. Williams

and David Weaver leaves Gaudio with the task of replacing five players and a good chunk of the Deacons’ offense. Aminu, Smith, McFarland and Williams were four of the teams’ five starters for most of the season and were four of the top six scorers. The only player left who started on a consistent basis is C.J. Harris, a 6-0 guard. Other returners are wing Ari Stewart, centers Tony Woods and Ty Walker, and guard Gary Clark. Harris was the Deacons’ third-best scorer at 9.9, with Stewart, who will also be a sophomore, ranking fifth at 7.2. The lack of proven returning talent appears to leave Gaudio relying on a freshman class that includes 6-11 center Carson Desrosiers of Lawrence, Mass.; 6-6 power forward Travis McKie of Richmond, Va., 6-3 shooting guard J.T. Terrell of West Charlotte High; 6-8 power forward Melvin Tabb of Raleigh Enloe; and 6-1 point guard Tony Chennault of Philadelphia.

Braves on Tuesday. He allowed one run in 11⁄3 innings during a 9-6 loss. It marked his first spring training appearance for the Yanks. The 24-year-old Venditte will start the season as a reliever for Class A Tampa. Venditte reportedly has two different deliveries, so his pitching style lefty is nothing like his right-handed hurling. I hope this young man makes it to the big leagues. If he does, he’ll become the first switchpitcher in the modern era.

A few folks back in the 1800s tossed with both arms, but the game was far different then. I’d love to see what impact, if any, switchpitching would have on the game. The concept seems so foreign to me that frankly, I have no idea what would unfold. Class A is a long way from the big leagues. But I expect Venditte will put his best arms forward in an effort to reach that goal.

ld-time basketball fans recall an ACC player once famously stated “I can shoot with my left hand. I can shoot with my right hand. I’m amphibious.” We all got a chuckle out of that slip of the tongue. I share that memory because the New York Yankees minor-league roster showcases a player who can pitch with his left hand and pitch with his right hand. That’s right. He’s ambidextrous. Pat Venditte threw with both arms for the Yankees in a split-squad game against the

Hollywood celebrities would pay good money — and lots of it — to have Brad Stevens’ problem. A security guard mistook Butler’s boyishlooking coach for one of his players Thursday when the Bulldogs arrived at Lucas Oil Stadium for practice. “It’s the first time that’s happened in probably two years,” Stevens said. “I don’t mind it happening at all. It makes me feel good.” At 33, Stevens is one of the younger coaches in the country, and certainly one of the youngest to ever take a team to the Final Four. Butler (32-4) plays Michigan State (28-8) in the first semifinal on Saturday night.

Plans in place for 96-team tourney

Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski answers a question during a Thursday press conference in advance of the Final Four in Indianapolis.

Tougher Duke team better match for WVU this time BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

DURHAM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When the Duke Blue Devils face West Virginia on Saturday for a spot in the NCAA championship game, the outcome between the teams in their NCAA Tournament meeting two years ago wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really make any difference. Still, Duke junior Nolan Smith knows that some things must change the second time around if the Blue Devils plan on a different outcome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That game, the simple way to say it is that they punked us,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were more physical than us. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure they outrebounded us. They did everything tougher than us that game. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be the main thing this game: Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be the tougher team?â&#x20AC;? The Blue Devils were tough to beat two years ago â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a 27-5 record entering the NCAA Tournament earned them a No. 2 seed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the toughest of teams. Much of that teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success could be attributed to 3-point shooting while its setbacks often were a result of things that occurred much closer to the rim. That never was more evident than in the second round of the 2008 tournament, when Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season suddenly ended at the hands of a seventh-seeded West Virginia squad that outrebounded the Blue Devils by 20. After the game, having watched

WOODEN AWARD FINALISTS

â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jon Scheyer of Duke and Daâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Sean Butler of West Virginia are among 10 finalists for the John R. Wooden Award as menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college basketball player of the year. Kentucky freshmen John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins were among the other finalists announced Thursday. Scheyer averages 18.6 points for Duke, which will play West Virginia in the national semifinals on Saturday. Butler averages 17.4 points and 6.3 rebounds for the Mountaineers. The other finalists are James Anderson of Oklahoma State, Sherron Collins of Kansas, Wesley Johnson of Syracuse, Scottie Reynolds of Villanova, Evan Turner of Ohio State, and Greivis Vasquez of Maryland. his team miss 15 consecutive 3pointers over a 34-minute stretch, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said his team wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good enough to win if the ball wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going into the basket. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a statement he has yet to make about his current team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is the difference,â&#x20AC;? 7-foot senior Brian Zoubek said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Early this season, our big group talked about being good enough to win games for us. When weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had bad shooting nights, we definitely have won

games with our rebounding and our toughness. The simple things â&#x20AC;&#x201C; well, they might not really be simple â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like offensive rebounding and playing defense have been working for us. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we base our game on.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much the same approach West Virginia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; then and now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; takes, though this version of the Mountaineers is even better at it and has more experience. Star guard Daâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Sean Butler, point guard Joe Mazzulla and role player Wellington Smith were starters on the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;08 team and are starters now, joined by a duo of sophomore forwards in Devin Ebanks and Kevin Jones who average nearly 26 points and 16 rebounds per game between them. Mazzulla had 13 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists off the bench against Duke two years ago. He had been coming off the bench this season after shoulder surgery sidelined him nearly all of the 200809 season, but he scored a careerhigh 17 points in the Mountaineersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Elite Eight victory over Kentucky, his first start of the season in place of Darryl â&#x20AC;&#x153;Truckâ&#x20AC;? Bryant, who is unlikely to play Saturday because of a broken foot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mazzulla is just one of those really tough competitors,â&#x20AC;? Krzyzewski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had a phenomenal performance against us a couple years ago, almost a triple-double. They were good then, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really good now.â&#x20AC;?

Tight-knit Devils eager to share success BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

DURHAM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Like every team that earned a spot in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NCAA Tournament, the Duke Blue Devils donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want their winding, wonderful journey to end short of Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship game. The Blue Devils also donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want it to end after the championship game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This team will really be brothers forever. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as close a team as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had,â&#x20AC;? said Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, whose team will continue the journey Saturday against West Virginia in the national semifinals â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want great things to happen for people who are great with us. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been spectacular

to coach. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ecstatic about it. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you how happy I am about them taking our staff to Indianapolis.â&#x20AC;? While strong personalities on teams can clash, these particular personalities mesh. With three seniors and two juniors in the starting lineup and little-used fifth-year senior Jordan Davidson as a unifying presence on the bench, this team has been through just about everything together. Both the good and the bad have been for the better, not for the worse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a genuine love for each other,â&#x20AC;? senior Lance Thomas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are no separate cliques on the team, with certain guys just hanging out with certain guys. We

know that we need each other to win. Not one guy is going to lead us to victory in a game.â&#x20AC;? Thomas and fellow senior Brian Zoubek often have been overshadowed by the statistical contributions of Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big three: Jon Scheyer, Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith. But internally, Thomas and Zoubek share the spotlight. The tight bonds that have been developed between the players and their coaches have overwhelmed any hint of jealousy that could lead to team turmoil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think people have grown into knowing the value of their roles,â&#x20AC;? Krzyzewski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like for Brian, he knows that even if he scores just four

points, it can be because of him that we win the game. Lance, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They take value from what we see as value, but that takes maturity. These kids are very mature, so they understand that.â&#x20AC;? Furthermore, the relationships donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shut down once the lights go out in the gym. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have so much fun, on and off the court,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We go bowling. We go to movies together, go out to dinner. We do pretty much everything.â&#x20AC;? The close relationships that have developed through such shared experiences â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and lots of them over time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have helped things go well enough for Duke to reach the Final Four.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The NCAA appears to be on the verge of expanding the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball tournament to 96 teams. Insisting that nothing has been decided, NCAA vice president Greg Shaheen nonetheless outlined a detailed plan Thursday that included the logistics and timing of a 96-team tournament, how much time off the players would have and even revenue distribution. Shaheen said the NCAA looked at keeping the current 65-team field and expanding to 68 or 80 teams, but decided the bigger bracket was best fit logistically and financially. It would be played during the same time frame as the current threeweek tournament and include first-round byes for 32 teams. Although the plan still needs to be approved by the Division I Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Basketball Committee and passed on to the board of directors, most of the details already seem to be in place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed to make sure that we did everything possible to use the due diligence window to understand ourselves and understand what the future would hold,â&#x20AC;? Shaheen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the process weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re undertaking. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been handling it every day for the last several months and years, as we studied for the benefit of the organization.â&#x20AC;? The menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament last expanded in 2001, adding one team to the 64-team field that

was set in 1985. The 96-team tournament would likely envelop the 32-team NIT, though Shaheen said no decision has been made on what to do with the NCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other, independently operated seasonending tournament. The new format would start two days later than the current 65-team field because it would eliminate the Tuesday playin game and would conclude on the same day, a Monday. It would be played at one fewer venue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; again, the play-in game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the NCAA says it would include no additional travel time for teams. The first-round games for the 32 non-bye teams would take place on Thursday and Friday, with the winners playing the top eight seeds in each region on Saturday and Sunday. Winners on Saturday would likely play again on Tuesday, and the Sunday winners on Wednesday. Those winners would then move on to the regionals, playing alternate days starting on Thursday. Shaheen said the NCAA hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decided on whether to keep the same sites for second and first-round games or to make the midweek sites the same as the regionals. He also said the amount of time studentathletes would be out of school would be roughly the same as the current model, but teams that play in the opening round and keep winning would actually be out an entire week of school instead of just a few days.

Huggins provides study in contrasts INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bob Huggins is bombastic to some, a lovable, emotional Huggy Bear to others. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known as a great recruiter, been called a cheater. The West Virginia coach is considered incredibly loyal, yet left Kansas State hanging after a single season. He can seem bored answering questions one minute, affable and joking the next. He produces NBA players, though few graduates. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magnacum-laude smart, but occasionally has lapses in judgment. Of all the coaches at the Final Four, Huggins is the enigma. Michigan Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tom Izzo is always going to be sincere and friendly, yet fiercely competitive. Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mike Krzyzweski efficient, professional, fiery when he needs to be. Butlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brad Stevens young, driven, enthusiastic. Huggins? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a winner wherever heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been. The rest depends on the perspective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the

c h a r i s matic, joking, laughing side. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call it a smile; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of a Huggins grin for him,â&#x20AC;? West Virginia forward Kevin Jones said Thursday, two days before the Mountaineers face Duke in the Final Four. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see that outside the cameras. They just see him yelling at us all the time.â&#x20AC;? Hugginsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; journey has the earmarks of a redemption story: Coach builds winning program, survives heart attack, gets fired, returns to his alma mater and leads it to the Final Four for the first time in 51 years. But this odyssey has nothing to do with atonement or recovery for Huggins. Loved or hated, Huggins is going to be consistently inconsistent, the nonconformist in a black windbreaker who does things his way â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whether people like it or not.

Bogey-free round gives Pettersen lead THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. — Suzann Pettersen shot a bogey-free 5-under 67 on Thursday in the Kraft Nabisco Championship to take a one-stroke lead over former champion Lorena Ochoa, who missed birdie putts on her final two holes. Ochoa, who teed off

three hours after Pettersen in the opening round of the season’s first major, had chances to tie the Norwegian star but rolled a long putt just right of the hole on No. 17 and then missed a 10-footer on 18. Pettersen, trying to bounce back from a hip injury, hit 12 fairways and 13 greens in regulation.

The top-ranked Ochoa, the 2008 champion, had six birdies and two bogeys. Majors champions Karrie Webb, Yani Tseng and Karen Stupples were in a group at 69. Defending champion Brittany Lincicome opened with a 70, and Michelle Wie had a 71.

HOUSTON OPEN HUMBLE, Texas — Kevin Stadler and Cameron Percy shot 5-under 67s to share the first-round lead in the Houston Open. Vaughn Taylor and James Driscoll — Stadler’s playing partners in a morning threesome — were a stroke back along with fellow

Salvation Army forms new youth baseball leagues ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – Spring training is almost over for Major League Baseball, and future professional baseball players in the High Point area are preparing for their own regular season debuts. The Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club of High Point (SA B&G) is proud to announce the dates of the High Point Community Youth Baseball League. Tee ball and

coach pitch level practices begin April 19, with games to follow on May 3. Games will be held at the SA B&G fields located at 121 Cloverleaf Place off of South Main Street on Monday and Friday nights. The new league, which is more affordable than others in the area, gives everyone that wants to play an opportunity to do so. The price is $15 for each player, and if there’s more than one player in the family, the

siblings can play for $10. “Our youth’s fitness is vitally important,” Tonia Stephenson, the SA B&G Executive Director said. “The Club already has programs geared towards their health and nutrition, and this league is just another option we can provide.” Those who want to play in the league do not need to own expensive gear like bats, balls, mitts, gloves, and cleats. The equipment that is necessary to play will be pro-

vided but any children that already own some of the items are more than welcome to bring their own. For everyone else, all that is needed to play in the league is a pair of shorts and tennis shoes. In order to make baseball accessible to all youth, the SA B&G is asking for help from the community. Anyone looking to sponsor a team, coach a team, or volunteer is asked to contact the Club at (336) 881-5444. The Salvation Army

Boys & Girls Clubs has been an integral part of the High Point community for more than 75 years. The Cloverleaf unit provides services to almost 300 boys and girls, ages 5-18, in the key areas of Character and Leadership, Health and Fitness, The Arts, Education and Career, and Health and Life Skills. For more information about the athletic program, please contact Rebecca Marshall at (336) 881-5444.

RALEIGH (AP) — Mike Glennon can feel it a little more each day. Every time he drops back to pass in spring drills, he’s becoming a better quarterback. Every time he’s in the huddle, he’s finding his voice as North Carolina State’s confident onfield leader. And yet, the touted 6-foot-6 rising sophomore who arrived as the program’s presumed QB of the future knows he could end up as a backup again, anyway. After all, the Wolfpack’s workouts these days are as much about who’s not taking the snaps — starter Russell Wilson, who is focusing on baseball this spring — as who is. “It’s what I came here for, to be the starter and work with the (starters) and getting comfortable with them and them getting comfortable with me,” Glennon said. “It’s just a process that is going to help me become the player I want to be, and with him being gone, I have to make the most of my opportunity.” While Glennon says all the right things, he is in a difficult position. The competitive side of him is fighting for the starting job. The realistic side knows that Wilson was an all-Atlantic Coast Conference pick two seasons ago and led the ACC with 31 touchdown passes last year, a track record that firmly entrenches him as the starter and Glennon as the understudy. Yet while coach Tom O’Brien has said he expects Wilson to return to football in the fall, it’s possible he might opt to play baseball exclusively. When asked at the end of last season about his plans, Wilson said he would decide “whenever the Lord knocks on my door and lets me know.”

ECU moves game for TV GREENVILLE (AP) — The regular-season finale between SMU and East Carolina has moved up a day to accommodate a national television broadcast. The Pirates and Mustangs will now meet on Friday, Nov. 26 at 2 p.m. in order to avoid conflicts with North Carolina High School Athletic Association playoff games going on later that night. The game will air on CBS College Sports.

Senators edge Hurricanes OTTAWA (AP) — Alex Kovalev and Jason Spezza scored in a shootout to cap Ottawa’s dramatic 4-3 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night that ensured the Senators’ return to the Stanley Cup playoffs. Erik Karlsson scored his second goal of the game with 7.7 seconds remaining in regulation to draw the Senators even at 3. Spezza picked up his third assist of the game on the play, winning a faceoff in the Hurricanes’ zone.

Economic reports offer some hope Manufacturing growth revs up, construction down BY TALI ARBEL AP BUSINESS WRITER

NEW YORK – The U.S. manufacturing sector expanded in March at its strongest pace in 5 1/2 years, leading the rebound from the recession on growth in exports and inventory rebuilding. Another drop in construction spending in February, however, underscored weakness in real estate. Meanwhile, the number of people filing first-time claims for unemployment benefits slipped last week as the economy moves closer to generating more jobs. The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing executives, said its gauge of industrial activity rose to 59.6 in March from 56.5 in February. It is the eighth straight month of expansion and the fastest growth since July 2004, when the index was 59.9. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters had expected a reading of 57. A level above 50

A lower court judge had tossed out the lawsuit Tiffany brought in 2004.

JPMorgan offers outlook on dividend NEW YORK (AP) – JPMorgan Chase’s CEO Jamie Dimon says the bank could hike its dividend if economic conditions improve and potential regulatory reform is settled.

People shop for lawnmowers at the Sears retail store in Burbank, Calif. A private trade group said Thursday the manufacturing sector expanded in March at its strongest pace since July 2004. indicates growth. Factories are boosting production for exports and their customers are slowing the drawdown of their inventories, helping power the economic recovery worldwide.

Manufacturers said their inventories grew after 46 straight months of contraction, according to ISM. Letting inventories rise is a signal that companies expect factory activity and

orders to increase. Manufacturing surveys Thursday in China, Britain and the 16 countries using the euro all showed factory activity surging. “The export-orientated factory sector is evidently enjoying the benefits of the rebound in world trade, whereas other sectors more dependent on domestic sales are still struggling,” Paul Ashworth, U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said in a research note. Seventeen of the 18 industries that the ISM surveys reported growth last month, led by the apparel sector. Only makers of plastics and rubber products reported contraction. But even as export-oriented activities strengthened, weakness persisted within the U.S. construction market. The Commerce Department said construction spending fell 1.3 percent in February to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $846.23 billion. That was the lowest level since November 2002 and the fourth straight month of decline. Economists were predicting builders would pare spending by 1 percent. The housing market led the country into a recession and despite some improvements at the end of last year, the sector this year is showing fresh signs

of weakness. “The construction sector continues to be a weight on the broader recovery and there are few indications this decline is reaching a bottom,” said U.S. economist Julia Coronado of BNP Paribas. Even as manufacturing recovers, ISM’s employment index grew slightly less slowly in March. The construction and manufacturing sectors have together lost about 4 million jobs during the recession. Still, the jobs market is improving. The Labor Department said Thursday that new jobless benefit claims dropped 6,000 to a seasonally adjusted 439,000 last week, nearly matching analysts’ estimates. It’s the fourth drop in five weeks. The four-week average of claims, which smooths volatility, fell by nearly 7,000 to 447,250, the lowest total since the week of Sept. 13, 2008, just before Lehman Brothers collapsed and the financial crisis intensified. The report adds to evidence that the job market is slowly healing as the economy improves. The government is scheduled to release a report on March employment today. Economists expect the unemployment rate to stay at 9.7 percent.

Big deals lure car buyers DETROIT (AP) – Car shoppers flocked to showrooms last month, lured by big promotions from Toyota and other automakers that could persist into the spring. Toyota’s unprecedented incentives, including low-interest financing, cheap leases and free maintenance for return customers, pushed up its U.S. sales 41 percent in March and helped it recover from a dismal February. They also touched off an incentive war that drew in buyers to rival dealers.

General Motors Co. reported a 21 percent jump in new vehicles sales on Thursday, while Ford’s climbed nearly 40 percent and Honda Motor Co. rose 23 percent over March last year. The sales point to one conclusion: March was a good time to buy a new car. Automakers ramped up promotions, with incentive spending up $100, or 4 percent, from February to $2,742 per vehicle, according to Edmunds.com. That’s still down from a record high of $3,165 last March.

Interest rates rise on trends NEW YORK (AP) – Interest rates rose in the bond market Thursday after stronger reports on manufacturing eroded demand for safe investments. A trade group said that U.S. manufacturing grew at the fastest pace in March in 5 1/2 years. Manufacturing figures from China and Europe also signaled improvement. The Labor Department’s report that a four-week average of unemployment claims fell to its lowest level in 18 months helped push Treasury prices lower. The drop in prices sent yields higher.

Traders were cautious ahead of the government’s March jobs report on Friday. The stock market will be closed for Good Friday but the bond market will be open for a shortened day. Economists expect that employers added 190,000 jobs in March. That would be only the second month of jobs gains since the start of the recession in December 2007. The yield on the benchmark 10year note maturing in February 2020 rose to 3.86 percent from 3.83 percent late Wednesday. Its price fell 8/32 at 98 2/32.

WASHINGTON – Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Thursday it’s “deeply unfair” that some financial institutions that got taxpayer-paid bailouts are emerging in better shape from the recession than millions of ordinary Americans. He acknowledged public outrage over that

But in a nationally broadcast interview, Geithner also argued that President Barack Obama had no choice when facing a financial

crisis but to support then-President George W. Bush’s “unpopular” bailout plan. Geithner said the other option was to “stand back” and do nothing, “and that would have been calamitous for the American economy.” Geithner was president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the peak of the crisis. The New York Fed managed bailouts.

Daimler blows chance on bribes BY PETE YOST ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

WASHINGTON – At a 1999 meeting in Germany, board members at Daimler, one of the world’s largest vehicle manufacturers, took a step that could have saved the company the trouble it will face in a U.S. courtroom on Thursday. Before a federal judge, Justice Department prosecutors wil lay out the dirty laundry of the company best known for its elegant Mercedes-Benz autos: a pattern of bribery

that for many decades has helped fuel the company’s sales and illicitly added millions of dollars to its profits. As a result, the company has agreed to pay $185 million in fines. According to court papers filed March 24, the company’s board 11 years ago adopted an integrity code with anti-bribery provisions. The problem is, Daimler failed to enforce it; many Daimler executives actively resisted it, and improper payments continued until 2008.

Dow pushes toward 11,000 mark NEW YORK — Stronger reports on jobs and manufacturing boosted stocks Thursday ahead of the government’s employment report for March. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 70 points to a 2010 high on the final day of a shortened week. The stock market will be closed today and the bond market will close early for Good Friday. Economists predict that the Labor Department will report employers added 190,000 jobs last month. That would mark on the second month of jobs growth since the recession began in December 2007. Government hiring for the 2010 census could give the job market a temporary boost, but an increase would still be welcome news for stock investors. “Just getting a number with six digits — over 100,000 — is I think very much encouraging to a lot of folks who really believe that none of this counts until we start creating jobs,” said Jeffrey Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial in Boston. Confidence grew Thursday after the Labor Department said Thursday that initial claims for unemployment benefits fell last week. A four-week average of clams dropped to its lowest level in 18 months.

Oil prices test upper limits NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices rose above $85 a barrel Thursday, boosted by encouraging economic news and rising stock markets ahead of the Good Friday holiday. Benchmark crude for May delivery rose $1.14 to $84.90 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Earlier, crude reached $85.22, the highest level since January. Crude prices have been locked in a range of $70 to $85 for most of the last six months. A government report showed initial jobless claims dropped last

week, and the Institute for Supply Management said its manufacturing index rose in March. Both indicators cheered investors on the last day of commodities and stock trading before the Easter weekend. “A good portion of the buying (of oil) seems to have come on ’good vibrations,’ the vague sense that the economic recovery is gaining momentum, and that that should lead to heavier demand for oil products,” consultancy Cameron Hanover said in a report.

CarMax profit doubles, revenue up RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – Used car dealership chain CarMax Inc. said Thursday its fourth-quarter earnings doubled as higher prices and increased customer traffic drove sales. It also plans to resume store growth, a sign of recovery from the worst U.S. auto sales market in decades. Its shares climbed 55 cents, or 2.2 percent, to $25.67 in morning trading after

trading at a 52-week high of $26.35 earlier in the session. Stronger sales and profits as well as increasing stability in the credit markets will allow the Richmond company to open between eight and 15 stores over fiscal 2012 and 2013, said CEO Tom Folliard. It also will open three previously built stores this fiscal year, which it had announced last quarter.

Obama visits storm emergency site in Massachusetts FRAMINGHAM, Mass. (AP) – Detouring from his schedule, President Barack Obama on Thursday thanked emergency workers struggling against disastrous flooding in the Northeast. “When these kind of natural disasters hit, what matters are the people on the ground,” Obama told crews at the Massachusetts

Emergency Management Agency headquarters some 20 miles west of Boston. Joined by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, Obama met with state and local emergency operations officials who are monitoring floods throughout the state. The president thanked the workers on behalf of all Americans for their thorough response

to the floods. He did not visit any flood-hit areas in his brief detour. Record rainfalls have caused flooding across the New England states, with Rhode Island taking the most devastating toll. Bridges and highways have washed out from Maine to Connecticut and sewage systems have been overwhelmed to the point that

families were asked to stop flushing toilets. National Guard troops were deployed in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and FEMA Deputy Administrator Rich Serino planned to travel to Rhode Island today to assess the damage.

Red River recedes, ending flood risk in ND FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Residents hauled sandbags to the street, the National Guard departed, and city officials lined up bulldozers to tear down clay levees Thursday as the major risk of flood passed in Fargo and Moorhead, Minn. The river separating the two cities was measured at 29.99 feet at 3:45 a.m. Thursday, officially changing the city’s status from major to moderate risk of flood, according to the National Weather Service. For local residents, it meant the flood fight was over. “We figure the river is probably going to behave itself for a while,” Moorhead Mayor Mark Voxland said. Residents have been on alert since March 14, when they were told the north-flowing Red River would crest weeks earlier than normal. Thousands were evacuated and about 100 homes flooded the year before when the river hit a record 40.84 feet on March 28. This year, it crested March 21 in Fargo-Moorhead at just under 37 feet.

Health dangers lurk in New England’s waters PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) – The sun is out. The water is falling. Traffic is starting to flow again. While things appear to be looking up in Rhode Island, the state hit hardest this week by three days of rain and record flooding, health and environmental officials warn there’s still danger below the surface. Raw sewage, garbage and oil are swirling around in the muddy floodwaters, creating a threat to people as they make their way toward and then down New England’s rivers and streams. In

Rhode Island, the pollution stands to interrupt swimming and the important shellfishing industry in Narragansett Bay, the ocean inlet whose nooks and crannies give the tiny state more than 400 miles of coastline. “The impact on this infrastructure is unprecedented,” said Curt Spalding, administrator of the New England region of the Environmental Protection Agency. “It’s a very rare occurrence when wastewater plants are completely disabled by flood, literally taken out and become inoperable.

This is a very serious matter.” The flooding has forced hundreds of people from their homes and businesses, and Gov. Don Carcieri said Thursday that damage could reach into the hundreds of millions of dollars. But there are bright spots: A stretch of Interstate 95, a major East Coast link, reopened to traffic. State offices reopened, and public colleges and universities were set to do the same Friday. U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano plans to tour the flood damage today.

FAA relaxes airspace restrictions over Bush ranch DALLAS (AP) – The Federal Aviation Administration is relaxing the rules on flying over former President George W. Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas, federal officials said. A notice published this week in the Federal Register says the U.S. Secret Service recognizes the need for ongoing security at the ranch, located about 95 miles south of Dallas, but considers it appropriate to significantly reduce the closed airspace around it following a security review. Effective June 3 the FAA will shrink the boundary of restricted airspace around the ranch from a radius of three nautical miles to a radius of two nautical miles. It will lower the restricted air ceiling from an altitude of 5,000 feet to 2,000 feet. “It’s a smaller circle, just a smaller area,” FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford said. “We’re doing this per a request from Secret Service. They’re the ones that get to make the calls on the size of the presidential air space.” The former president and first lady Laura Bush moved to Dallas soon after leaving the White House in early 2009. Telephone and e-mail messages seeking comment were left for Bush’s spokesman Thursday. The change will restore previously restricted airspace to public use, according to the Federal Register notice.
