One reason the airport hasn’t had to move faster on the program is that the recession has limited the number of FedEx cargo delivery flights at the hub, which opened 11 months ago. FedEx is averaging 14 landings a day, airport figures indicate.

PTIA officials have begun to take steps to prepare for future measures on aircraft noise, Johnson said following the Piedmont Triad Airport Authority’s monthly meeting Tuesday. Airport staff are looking at which homes clos-

haps 90 of the approximately 3,000 houses in the city limit could be deemed dilapidated.

“I think this is the right ordinance for our city,” said Councilman Eddie Causey.

City officials say that the ordinance will protect Archdale residents from unsanitary or unsafe houses in their communities. The code is intended to be enforced based on complaints from residents.

The ordinance establishes 10 conditions, include no connec-

tion to a water supply and sewage disposal system and improper electrical wiring, that would render a house unfit for human habitation. Property owners would have the right to appeal a finding that their house is not in compliance.

The city would have the authority to set requirements for repairs or make repairs at the expense of the property owner and have unfit dwellings demolished.

Savings: Construction of the new Jamestown Middle School, scheduled to open in the fall, could cost 4 percent less than the estimated $29 million cost.

The total project price was estimated at $33.5 million in 2008.

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – The depressed construction market is expected to bring millions of dollars in savings for county taxpayers who approved a $457 million school bond construction list in 2008.

The savings could be as much as 12 percent on the new Eastern Guilford High School at Gibsonville, which opened a year ago, and 32 percent on the new Alamance Elementary School, scheduled for opening next year, county officials reported Tuesday.

In the tough economy, material prices have started to climb again, but labor rates remain low, Andrew LaRowe, school district executive director of construction and facili-

“People are fighting to survive in construction, and we are a stimulus package for them,” LaRowe said. “We are moving as fast as we can go get as much as we can out of this.”

The modern 273,000square-foot Eastern High building was supported by a $45 million voter-approved bond. The nearly final construction price is $41.5 million, 12 percent below the construction

budget of $47.3 million, despite added expenses for water and sewer and site preparation. The total cost is about $60 million.

The new building replaces one destroyed by arson in November 2006.

District leaders have used school advisory teams to trim costs and make changes during design and construction, LaRowe said.

“We have reduced the size of gyms and administrative areas based on their suggestions,” LaRowe

said. No one knows how long costs will remain low, but committee members agreed the county should take advantage.

“We should move this money as soon as we can and use it for other projects,” said Guilford County Commissioner Bruce Davis of High Point. “We may never see a market like this again.”

LaRowe and Guilford County Board of Education Chairman Alan Duncan said district officials are reluctant, however, to shift leftover money from the projects until they are completely finished.

District officials last used $26 million remaining from projects voters approved in 2000 for needed renovations.

“We’ll assess the needs and come to commissioners with requests on how to use money leftover from these new projects,” Duncan said. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

“The board of commissioners has to decide if there will be debt above the bond referendum debt for these projects,”

ARCHDALE – Adam Baig Sr. said that he loves his adopted city of Archdale, where he and his wife raise a family of six children.

But Baig came before City Council Tuesday night because several racial incidents that happened to him and his family recently have him worried.

Baig, who formerly lived in New Jersey and Washington, D.C., moved to Archdale four years ago from another part of Randolph County. The vast majority of people he has met in the northern Randolph County city have been welcoming, he said.

Baig, whose ethnic background is Italian and Chilean, said in the past couple of weeks he and members of his family have been called racial slurs. The slurs have involved derogatory references to him and his family by people mistaking that they are either Mexican or black, he told members of council.

In one instance, Baig

said he was called a racial slur by someone coming out of an Archdale business as he prepared to enter the establishment. The person not only insulted him but went over and banged on his car, yelling at his children in the vehicle, Baig said.

One of his sons has endured insults recently at Wheatmore High School because he was dating a white female student, Baig told the council.

Both incidents ended up involving law enforcement authorities, he acknowledged.

“I moved to a small town to get away from this. I’m not leaving Archdale. I love this place. But something is going on,” Baig said.

Archdale Mayor Bert Lance Stone apologized to Baig about his family encountering the incidents.

Councilman Lewis Dorsett encouraged Baig to approach school administrators and Randolph County Schools officials since Archdale doesn’t have direct involvement in the public school system.

Baig said he’d be willing to put his personal backing behind an initiative to counter smallminded attitudes.

HIGH POINT – High Point police on Tuesday asked for the public’s help in identifying the person who robbed a north High Point grocery store last week.

According to detectives, a man entered Aldi’s Food Store, 3306 N. Main St., about 7:50 p.m.

Friday and bought some ice cream. When the

clerk opened the cash register, the man produced a revolver handgun from his waist band and demanded money.

After receiving an undisclosed amount of cash, the suspect fled the scene and got into a vehicle that was parked in the parking lot of a church located at the intersection of Hedgecock Road and Old North Main Street. Police said

there was no description of the getaway vehicle or the driver. The vehicle was last seen heading south on Old North Main Street.

Kandahar Police Chief Sher Mohammed Zazai said militants detonated explosives near the city in an attack targeting a compound providing logistical support to NATO forces.

JERUSALEM (AP) – Israeli security forces demolished a handful of illegal structures in West Bank settlements Tuesday, including a wooden bunker that hard-line Jewish activists had defiantly named after President Barack Obama.

The continent’s air traffic control agency also assembled experts to determine whether national air authorities reacted appropriately to the ash threat.

Mortar fire kills 2 Iraqi soldiers in Baghdad BAGHDAD – An overnight mortar attack killed two Iraqi soldiers Tuesday at a security station in a Shiite neighborhood of northern Baghdad, police said.

Another 14 people, including an army colonel, were wounded in the 1 a.m. attack on the joint Iraqi army-police office in the capital’s Hurriyah area, the officials said.

Haiti judge: Silsby deceived fellow missionaries PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti –The judge who dropped kidnapping charges against Laura Silsby and nine other U.S. missionaries said Tuesday he did so because the 33 children they were trying to take out of Haiti were all given over freely by their parents.

Judge Bernard Saint-Vil said that Silsby, the group’s leader, deceived the other Baptist missionaries by telling them she had the proper documents to take the kids to the neighboring Dominican Republic.

David Howell – the man who had brought 13-year-old Mohammed to the U.S., organized the treatment and flew back to Iraq with him – now had to say goodbye and catch the next flight out. “I feel a little bit nervous because I haven’t seen my family for a while,� Mohammed said

amid the clamor of the baggage claims area.

The boy wore a Detroit Tigers baseball cap and a T-shirt reading “Property of Michigan State� – the university where the surgery was performed. “He’s had a great time in the U.S., it’s a bit like leaving Disneyland,� said Howell. “I think right now he’s a little bit sad, because we spent the last year together.� The two then hugged and said goodbye.

Caught in a house fire when he was only 2 years old in the city of Ramadi, once an insurgent hotbed west of Baghdad, Mohammed was severely scarred.

Noriega jailed in France PARIS (AP) – Former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega, fresh out of a Miami prison where he spent two decades, was sent back behind bars in France on Tuesday to await a new legal battle – this time on charges he laundered cocaine profits by buying luxury apartments in Paris.

Hours after Noriega, 72, arrived in Paris following his extradition from the United States, a judge deemed him a flight risk and dispatched him to La Sante, a grim brick prison

in southern Paris. Noriega lost his first battle on French territory – he unsuccessfully pressed a judge to send him home to Panama. If convicted in France, he could face another 10 years in prison.

Source: Man on flight claims explosives BANGOR, Maine – A former member of the U.S. Air Force on a flight from Paris to Atlanta claimed he had explosives in his luggage and a fake passport, forcing federal air marshals to intervene and the plane to be diverted to Maine on Tuesday, U.S. officials said.

The officials said the man was a former member of the active duty Air Force until last year.

Nathaniel has been in foster care in New York since he was found last Tuesday.

More names found on suspect in Yale killing NEW HAVEN, Conn.

(AP) – An unemployed doctor charged with fatally shooting a Yale University doctor was found with documents on two other people involved in his dismissal from a New York hospital and 1,000 rounds of ammunition when he was arrested, police said Tuesday.

Lishan Wang, 44, was arraigned Tuesday and held on $2 million bail in the killing of Vajiinder Toor. The two had worked together at the hospital in New York City. Toor, originally from India, was shot five times Monday outside his Branford home.

Printouts on two other people directly involved in Wang’s dismissal were found in his van when he was arrested nearby, police said. The names were not disclosed.

Police said directions and a pedigree were also in the van, but the report

GOP blocks financial reform bill again WASHINGTON (AP) – Senate Republicans, attacked for twice blocking legislation to rein in Wall Street, floated a partial alternative proposal Tuesday and said it could lead to election-year compromise on an issue that commands strong public support.

The 20-page outline would prohibit the use of taxpayer funds to bail out failing financial giants of the future and impose fed-

eral regulation on many but not all trades of complex investments known as derivatives. It also calls for consumer protections that appear weaker than Democrats and the White House seek, and it would create new regulations on mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The outline surfaced shortly before Senate Republicans united for the second straight day to block action on White

Conservatives should all follow Rush to Costa Rica Please, please, somebody wake me up and tell me I’m having a nightmare with all this I see and hear about what’s going on in this country. I thought we had become a loving and tolerant society and live and let live. I thought racism had buried itself in the woodwork, but it is coming out like roaches. It is a sad day when you have elected politicians running around advocating hate and violence. They are lower than a yellow belly.

The Repugnants always talk about “what the American people want.” They want them to do the job that they were elected to do.

They are doing their constituents a disservice with all this negativity. The only thing they are interested in is trying to make Obama fail. Ain’t going to happen!

Rush Limbaugh said if Obama’s health reform passed, he would move to Costa Rica. Why is he still here? Need help packing?

When he goes, he should take Glen Beck, Michelle Bachman, Dick and Liz Cheney, Ann Coulter and please don’t forget Wausila Silly Palin. They would make a happy group on a faraway island.

They’d have Dick the president and moose killer vice president.

Oh, “Happy Day.” They can take the tea baggers and militia groups with them.

This statement of “take back our country” is a joke. When did they inherit a country? They are just a speck in this country, along with millions of others. They live in a country that puts up with their racist hatemongers.

They should have their token minority and take Thomas Sowell with them. I say right on to Leonard Pitts! He tells it like it

My contention is that the main difference between Sheriff Hege and most of our politicians is that he got caught. Let the politicians who have never violated any law or ethical code cast the first stone.

Who among us has never been given a second chance? While I am at it, what does “white-collar crime” have to do with the right to carry a weapon? One does not need a weapon to commit a “white-collar” crime. It is ironic and works out a plan with me to is. Obama should go it alone if he that while Guilford County is resolve the situation. must.

Many want to present history Let Guilford through poisonous fi lters budget ax M fall here W e’ve been down this road before.

And this time, the trip is even more upsetting.

At a time when thousands of Guilford County residents are struggling to make ends meet – including figuring out how to pay their county property taxes – and at a time when Guilford commissioners are making all kinds of cuts throughout the county budget, they are planning to send perhaps five board members and County Manager Brenda Fox to Reno, Nev., in July for the National Association of Counties annual meeting.

The trip will cost taxpayers upward to $10,000, maybe more. The money will come from a fund that commissioners budget each year for board training and education. Certainly, that amount of money could be well-spent supporting some Guilford County group or project in this era of budget cutting. But it’s the number of commissioners going that bothers us, too.

Five board members – Chairman Skip Alston, Kay Cashion, Carolyn Coleman, Paul Gibson and Kirk Perkins, all Democrats – last week were set to go in addition to Fox. However, Alston now indicates he isn’t going. But why must the county send five, or even four, board members, especially members who’ve been around awhile? It’s not as if a gang of rookie commissioners is going to learn what being a board member is all about.

No more than two commissioners should attend each year, unless there are special circumstances. The two should soak up all the education and training and report back to the full board upon return and save taxpayers some money, especially during times like these.

OUR MISSION

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

any years ago, I was surprised to receive a letter from an old friend, saying that she had been told that I refused to see campus visitors from Africa.

At the time, I was so bogged down with work that I had agreed to see only one visitor to the Stanford campus – and it so happens that he was from Africa. He just happened to come along when I had a little breathing room from the work I was doing in my office.

I pointed out to my friend that whoever said what she heard might just as well have said that I refused to go sky-diving with blacks – which was true, because I refused to go skydiving with anybody, whether black, white, Asian or whatever.

The kind of thinking that produced a passing misconception about me has, unfortunately, produced much bigger, much longer lasting, much more systematic and more poisonous distortions about the United States of America.

Slavery is a classic example. The history of slavery across the centuries and in many countries around the world is a painful history to read – not only in terms of how slaves have been treated, but because of what that says about the whole human species – because slaves and enslavers alike have been of every race, religion and nationality.

If the history of slavery ought to teach us anything, it is that human beings cannot be trusted with unbridled power over other human beings – no matter what color or creed any of them are. The history of ancient despotism and modern totalitarianism practically shouts that same message from the bloodstained pages of history.

But that is not the message that is being taught in our schools and colleges, or dramatized on television and in the movies. The message that is pounded home again and again is that white people enslaved black people.

It is true, just as it is true that I don’t go sky-diving with blacks. But it is also false in its implications for the same reason. Just as Europeans enslaved Africans, North Africans enslaved Europeans – more Europeans than there were Africans enslaved in the United States and in the 13 colonies from which it was formed.

The treatment of white galley slaves was even worse than the treatment of black slaves

picking cotton. But there are no movies or television dramas about it comparable to “Roots,” and our schools and colleges don’t pound it into the heads of students. The inhumanity of human beings toward other human beings is not a new story, much OPINION less a local story. There is no need to hide it, because there are Thomas lessons we can learn from it. But Sowell there is also no need to distort it, ■■■ so that sins of the whole human species around the world are presented as special defects of “our society” or the sins of a particular race.

If American society and Western civilization are different from other societies and civilization, it is that they eventually turned against slavery, and stamped it out, at a time when non-Western societies around the world were still maintaining slavery and resisting Western pressures to end slavery, including in some cases armed resistance.

Yet today there are Americans who have gone to Africa to apologize for slavery – on a continent where slavery has still not been completely ended, to this very moment.

It is not just the history of slavery that gets distorted beyond recognition by the selective filtering of facts. Those who go back to mine history, in order to find everything they can to undermine American society or Western civilization, have very little interest in the Bataan death march, the atrocities of the Ottoman Empire or similar atrocities in other times and places.

Those who mine history for sins are not searching for truth but for opportunities to denigrate their own society, or for grievances that can be cashed in today, at the expense of people who were not even born when the sins of the past were committed.

An ancient adage says: “Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.” But apparently that is not sufficient for many among our educators, the intelligentsia or the media. They are busy poisoning the present by the way they present the past.

Thomas Hagan was the last man still serving time in the 1965 killing, part of the skein of violence that wound through the cultural and political upheaval of the 1960s. He was freed from a Manhattan prison where he spent two days a week under a work-release program.

Standoff shuts down I-85 ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A police chase involving a South Carolina man accused of killing his wife ended Tuesday morning in Davidson County when he surrendered after a standoff with law enforcement that shut down Interstate 85 for several hours.

Arthur Duval Mims, 45, of Duncan, S.C., allegedly shot his estranged wife and teenage stepdaughter at their home near Spar-

tanburg and set the residence on fire about 3:15 a.m. before fleeing in a pickup truck.

The woman, whose name wasn’t released, died from her wounds. The girl was shot in the face and is expected to survive.

Mims led authorities on a chase on I-85 into North Carolina. At one point in Rowan County, state troopers placed stop sticks in the roadway that blew out one or two of the truck’s tires, but it contin-

ued northbound until stopping near the N.C. 8 interchange about 5:30 a.m.

Authorities surrounded the vehicle and closed the interstate in both directions between mile markers 86 and 91, forcing motorists to a detour on U.S. 64.

WXII-TV reported that helicopter video from above the scene shortly before Mims’ arrest showed at least 22 police vehicles spread out across I-85 near the parked truck. The suspect stayed in the truck,

refusing to surrender until about 8:30 a.m., when he got out of the truck with his hands up. He was arrested without incident.

According to Davidson County Sheriff David Grice, Mims was taken to Lexington Memorial Hospital to be treated after he swallowed bleach and began throwing up blood during the standoff.

“He had reached a stage in his standoff that he was wanting water real badly, so we offered him some

water and we were able to talk to him and exchange the water for his cooperation,” Grice told WXII. Mims was transferred to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center on Tuesday afternoon, where he was listed in stable condition.

Once Mims is discharged, he faces extradition to South Carolina where he faces murder, assault and battery with intent to kill and arson charges there. He’ll also face charges in North Carolina in connection with the pursuit.

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Four people now face murder charges in the city’s most recent homicide after additional investigation by authorities since the slaying occurred four months ago.

Shortly after the Dec. 21 shooting death of 19-year-old Kinitez Dante Gilbert in the 300 block of Ennis Street in the Southside neighborhood, two teenagers – Johnathan Brandon Mack and Trevorri Jamel McFadden – were charged with first-degree murder. Court records show that Mack and McFadden, both 18, were charged last month with conspiring with their two co-defendants to commit first-degree murder.

The co-defendants, Antwan Orlando Owens and Marqualis Nyquan Parson, initially faced accessory-after-the-fact charges for allegedly helping Mack dispose of the murder weapon.

Court documents show Owens, 18, and Parson, 16, were both charged last month with first-degree murder and conspiracy.

According to police search warrant applications, two witnesses identified Mack as the person who shot Gilbert after the victim threw a brick through the window of a Honda Accord driven by Mack. Police were looking for evidence of gang involvement when they searched Mack’s home, and they seized DNA material from the car after his arrest, according to the warrants.

Under state law, if prosecutors established that all four defendants conspired or were otherwise “acting in concert” to kill Gilbert, they could all be considered guilty of first-degree murder even if only one of them shot the victim.

Mack, of Forrest Street, has been held at the Guilford County Jail in High Point since his arrest on bonds that total $575,000. McFadden, of Ellwood Drive, remained jailed without bond Tuesday.

Court records indicate Owens, of True Lane, was released last month on an unsecured bond. Parson, of Vine Street, was granted a custody release last month as well.

All of the suspects have court dates scheduled for next month. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Longtime Archdale eatery expands to High Point

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A restaurant that has operated for more than 50 years in Archdale has branched out to High Point.

The Archdale Soda Shop opened a second location at 2200 N. Main St. in the space formerly occupied by Taste Sensations. The new restaurant has a limited menu, including the soda shop’s well-known hotdogs, hamburgers, corn dogs and old-fashioned milk shakes.

Jerry Rozier, part owner of the business along with his sister-in-law, Jodi Hill, said the restaurant expanded for the first time in its 62-year history due to popular demand.

“It was really due to an overwhelming request of our customers,” Rozier said. “There’s a lot of traffic in the area (of the new restaurant) and a lot of folks there.”

The restaurant originally opened in 1948 and was acquired by Rozier’s grandfather in 1960. It stayed in Rozier’s family until he and Hill began operating the soda shop in 2008.

Rozier said he wants the new lo-

“This restaurant really used to be a teen hangout for kids when they got out of school,” Rozier said.

“On Friday and Saturday nights, we want to be able to cater to that younger crowd again. We don’t care if they’re hanging out in the parking lot and talking as long as they aren’t causing trouble.”

The new space was renovated so it would have a 1950s atmosphere with a wooden lunch bar, Rozier said. The food, including the restau-

you deal with a thief in your midst?

I have a 21-year-old relative who steals.

ADVICE He has stolen from Dear me, and Abby I suspect â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; from other members of the family as well.

Please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suggest therapy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had years of therapy. Recently, he was caught stealing from a purse belonging to his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend.

The problem is family gatherings. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not comfortable telling my guests that they must watch their valuables, but I cannot deal with the possibility of having a guestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possessions or money stolen. Also, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t particularly relish the idea of having him loose in my house.

He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shown any particular interest in attending these functions and often hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attended when invited, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to know whether excluding him might make him feel left out. My inclination is to tell him the reason I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to invite him. Should I? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; His Relative Dear Relative: If he asks why he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t invited, by all means tell him. If years of counseling havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t curbed his

compulsion to steal, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible that one day he will learn in a jail cell what he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn on the couch.

Meanwhile, I see no compelling reason to continue inviting him to family gatherings. Not only will you be doing your guests a favor, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be exposing your relative to less temptation.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend has two children from a previous relationship. I love them very much and treat them like my own. We often go out with the children to playgrounds, shopping, etc.

Abby, people often refer to me as the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ask your mom ...â&#x20AC;? things like that. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the proper response to this? I find it embarrassing because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not their mother.

But I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to make anyone uncomfortable by saying Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not. What would be the most polite response to someone in that situation? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Not Mommy in Maine Dear Not Mommy: The most polite response would be to ignore their mistake.

Police: ‘Seinfeld’ actor Alexander hits biker

Authorities jail, release Randy Quaid and wife SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) – Randy and Evi Quaid were briefly jailed Monday after showing up to court two weeks late for a criminal case, authorities said.

The actor and his wife were released after posting $100,000 bail each and were told to return for a court hearing on Wednesday, the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.

The couple have repeatedly failed to show up for hearings in a felony case alleging they defrauded an inn out of more than $10,000. They also have been charged with burglary and conspiracy and have pleaded not guilty.

Photos taken Monday by the Santa Barbara News-Press showed the handcuffed Quaid couple smiling as they were escorted by deputies. The Quaids spent less than four hours in custody.

Their attorney, Robert Sanger, has said the money has been repaid and the Quaids hope to resolve the case without a trial. Sanger on Monday declined to comment on the case or say why the couple didn’t appear as scheduled earlier this month.

Author Mary Jane Clark will sign copies of “Dying for Mercy” and other books today at High Point Country Club.

SPECIAL | HPE

Continued suspense Bestselling author learned fast-paced writing in broadcast news

BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – If it seems as if suspense/thriller novelist Mary Jane Clark writes with a keen insider’s view of the broadcast journalism world, there’s a good reason for that – she worked in that world for three decades.

Clark, whose fast-paced, broadcasting-themed mysteries routinely show up on national bestseller lists, began her career at CBS News, where she started out as a desk assistant and worked her way up to become a producer and writer.

“I had written for years at CBS News before I came up with the idea of writing suspense novels that were set in the world of broadcast journalism,” said Clark, who will sign copies of her books today at the High Point Country Club, following a presentation to the High Point Literary League.

“Writing for television turned out to be good training,” Clark said in an e-mail interview. “In

WANT TO GO?

----

Mary Jane Clark, author of “Dying For Mercy” and 11 other thrillers, will sign copies of her books beginning at 1 p.m. today at the High Point Country Club, 800 Country Club Road.

Clark will also speak at a luncheon sponsored by the High Point Literary League, but that event is not open to the public. broadcast news, you often have to tell a complicated story in a minute and thirty seconds, getting right to the point, deciding what to leave in or leave out, keeping things moving and not padding things out with details that don’t really matter. That formula works well in suspense writing, where the goal is to keep the reader engrossed, entertained and breathless.”

According to Clark, readers appreciate the insider’s view she brings to her murder mysteries, which are solved by the person-

alities who work at fictional KEY News.

“I do think that readers recognize that I am writing from experience,” Clark said. “I think they enjoy getting an insider’s view of what happens behind the scenes in the fast-moving world of network news. At the same time, the characters have personal lives and challenges which influence the story as well. So, hopefully, there’s a lot for the reader to enjoy.”

Although Clark no longer works at CBS News – she left in 2007 to devote her full attention to writing books – she has based many of her novels on events she covered or things that happened to her as a journalist.

For example, the idea for her 1998 debut novel, “Do You Want To Know A Secret?,” was inspired by the presidential national conventions of 1990, in which candidates Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush faced accusations of philandering. That prompted Clark to craft a story in which a candidate’s wife was the one having an affair.

Another book, 2001’s “Close To You,” stemmed from the experiences of an on-air reporter Clark knew who was being stalked by a fan.

Clark revealed that her 13th book, currently untitled but due out in the winter, will stray from her usual KEY News setting.

“It’s a suspense novel, but this one is a departure from the past 12 books,” she said. “I had an idea for something different, and my publisher was willing to give it a try. I love the KEY News books and plan to write more of them, but it’s also great to have the opportunity to shake things up and try something new.”

Clark said she always looks forward to meeting readers – and getting their feedback – at events such as the one today in High Point.

“I adore that,” she said. “Writing can be very solitary and sometimes lonely. It’s great to get out, talk to people and get their reactions. Readers are so appreciative and encouraging. That spurs you on to keep writing.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Randolph Hospital adds a bit of green ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

ASHEBORO – Randolph Hospital has reinstated the green space that sits on the front lawn of the old hospital entrance, and will host a public celebration and dedication of the new green space at 10:15 a.m. Friday.

The lawn, facing N. Fayetteville Street, has gone through a three-month transformation from concrete to grass and newly planted trees.

As part of the celebration,

Trees NC and North Carolina Zoological Park arborist Robert McCrory will lead a brief talk about “The Importance of Creating a Green Environment” and then will invite students from Charles W. McCrary Elementary School to help with a hands-on project – assisting with the planting of a chestnut tree donated by the city of Asheboro.

To conclude the event, the UNITE Club of McCrary Elementary will play songs about Earth on African drums.

The new green space was made possible by a $42,000 grant from the Randolph Soil and Water Conservation District, which works hand in hand with the people of Randolph County by planning, providing technical assistance, developing and carrying out programs for the conservation, protection and development of soil, water and related plant and animal resources.

“The hospital desperately needed parking spaces during construction of the Outpatient

The North Carolina Children and Nature Coalition (NCCAN!), a project of the N.C. Zoological Society and the Environmental Educators of N.C. (EENC), is sponsoring a poster design contest that will be used in marketing materials for the new N.C. Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights.

The contest is open to schoolaged children and adults. Information about the contest and the Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights can be found at the contest Web site www.nckids outdoors.org.

The N.C. Children’s Bill of Rights will be used across the state to market and advocate legislation on behalf of children. Proponents of the Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights will heighten awareness and seek to ensure all North Carolina children have opportunities to connect with nature at an early age and build upon that connection as they grow. A growing body of research has demonstrated the health, educational and social benefits of outdoor play in nature.

“Discussions concerning children and the out-of-doors are being held primarily between the adult decision makers,” noted EENC President Shelby Gull Laird. “It’s our intention to have children be a part of the planning. Our poster contest is a first step in this direction.”

Wednesday, April 28, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Jessica Alba, 29; Penelope Cruz, 36; Jay Leno, 60; AnnMargret, 69 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Concentrate on the present and forget the past and you will be able to look forward to the future. The outcome is in your hands – simply stay calm and do what needs to be done. Taking care of both personal and professional business will lead to your victory. As long as you know what your goals are, you will have no trouble attaining them. Your numbers are 2, 8, 14, 24, 29, 35, 41 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will expect everyone to show you what they are doing, not tell you about it. Your curiosity, coupled with your high energy and huge imagination, will lead to some new ideas and a successful partnership. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Act with confidence and you will get everything you are asking for. Avoid any inconsistency or annoyance. Taking on a responsibility that belongs to a colleague will show how valuable you are and advancement will follow. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Start thinking about the future and how to ensure better health, wealth and emotional stability. Start a new diet or set up an exercise routine. Make a commitment to improvement and to look at career options that will suit you better. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You have options but if you don’t take advantage of them, you will end up spinning your wheels and wondering “what if.” Take the plunge and you will make discoveries about who you are and what you can do.

Love is in the stars. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t let things get to you today. Chill out and focus on helping others or taking time out for a little pampering. You need to get centered and rethink your strategy so that you can make the right choices. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Speak your mind and don’t worry about anyone’s disagreeing with you. Eventually, everyone will get on the same page.

Call in favors and give incentives to those willing to help you out. You will feel at ease once you start moving in a direction more in line with your personality. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The potential to do something spectacular is present and, with a little ingenuity and a gentle nudge, you will make headway. Keep company with people just as talented, creative and motivated as yourself. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s best to be reclusive or at least tight-lipped. Giving out secret information will lead to a problem with someone you didn’t mean to upset. A change to your living arrangement will take you by surprise. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Renovations or buying or selling property will be successful and will position you well financially. An emotional issue will be resolved quickly if you’re willing to meet halfway. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Rethink what you are trying to accomplish. If your motives are not right, you may have to start over. Someone will call your bluff or accuse you of not being true to your word. Communication will be important but honesty even more critical. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There is money to be made, a deal to negotiate, a settlement to resolve – all of which can bring greater cash flow and opportunities for a new project. It’s out with the old and in with the new, coupled with decisions to help you get a handle on improvements you want to make in the future. ★★★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Unlucky Louie gave me a ride to the club and convinced me that he got his driver’s license at WalMart. We zipped through yellow lights, careened around corners and ended with a jarring thump against the curb.

Louie’s dummy play mirrors his driving, and he had a wreck at five hearts doubled. He took the ace of spades and cashed the ace of trumps.

Louie next led a club to the ace, returned a trump to his jack, ruffed a club, ruffed a spade and ruffed his last club. He ruffed a spade and drew trumps but had only one left. When he started the diamonds, East won and forced out Louie’s last trump, and West took the last two tricks.

LAST CLUB Louie’s play was reckless but could have been wreckless. He should lead a club to the ace at Trick Two, then a trump to his ace. He ruffs a club, leads to his jack of trumps and ruffs his last club.

Louie can then ruff a spade, draw East’s last trump and start the diamonds. He has two trumps left and has time to set up a diamond trick.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K Q J 6 2 H None D A 9 2 C K J 8 7 3.

Neither side vulnerable.

The dealer, at your right, opens one heart. What do you say?

ANSWER: Nobody could criticize a prosaic overcall of one spade. I can make a case for two clubs since the next player may be about to raise hearts. If he jumped to four hearts and two passes followed, you could try four spades. The action to avoid is a double: When you have a twosuited hand, start to bid your suits.

South dealer Both sides vulnerable

---

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

Snowboarder overcomes her fear On the Web...

When we saw Lisa again and encouraged her to come with us, she said, “Will you take care of me, if I go up with you?” to which I said, “Of course.” She tentatively got in line with my son and me.

I could see, as the line moved forward, that she was quite hesitant. I kept reassuring her that she could do it. When we got to the front of the line, ready to board the chair, she paled and said she couldn’t do it, and maybe she’d try, “Next time.”

When we got back to the lift again, she was gone. David and I went searching for her, in the lodge and on the deck outside, since we now both felt it was our mission to help her overcome her fear. We couldn’t find her. We went back in line and I asked the lift operator if she had seen her, as everyone was now aware of the situation. The lift operator said Lisa had been taken up the hill, on a snowmobile by the ski patrol, so she could at least take a run.

Again, my son and I went looking for her – this time on the runs. Again, no luck, so David went in for lunch and I returned to the lift. And there she was. I immediately went over to her, and she said she had called some friends, as she knew many people at Mammoth. They were coming shortly and she’d like all of us to support her as she tried again to muster the courage to get on the lift.

When her friends showed up, we all got in line, surrounding her. She made it on the chair without a hitch.

Immediately she hugged all of us, as tears streamed down her face. When we got to the top, she easily got off the lift and we began to ski. She’s a snowboarder, so she began to “ride,” to use the correct vernacular. The excitement on her face was enormous as she did beautiful, graceful turns, often stretching out her arms in joy.

Her friends had to get back to work, so I stayed with her as we got on another chair and then another, and another,

SPECIAL | HPE

Lisa, who has multiple sclerosis, snowboards for the first time in five years. without a hitch. She explained what had happened. About five years ago, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and was given some heavy medications. At the time, she had an important job working at Mammoth. One day, while on the lift with a good friend, the drugs caused her to hallucinate. She tried to jump off, several stories above the snow, and would have fallen to her death had not her friend held her tightly, preventing a tragedy.

Ever since, she was terrified to go on a lift again. She left her job at Mammoth and moved away. Now, five years later, and having mostly beaten the MS with holistic treatment, hard work and determination, she was back at Mammoth hoping to overcome her fear.

It was, to use a favorite word of my children’s generation, an “awesome” experience to be part of her triumph.

I took a bunch of photos and made a great, new friend.

And, my son learned what it means to reach out and help someone and how good a feeling it is.

y son and I had an extraordinary experience this spring break while on a ski trip at Mammoth, Calif. It was just the two of us, since my wife stayed home for work and my older son preferred hanging out with his friends and girlfriend (I can’t blame him, as she’s wonderful). So, it was a special alone-time trip with my younger son, David.

Because our skiing levels and skiing interests are quite different, we tend to prefer to ski separately. I have friends there and David had some friends from school that he skied with.

However, we always hook up A DAD’S at some point, POINT and one day, afOF VIEW ter he’d slightly hurt himself and was takBruce ing it easy, we Sallan skied together.

■■■ We skied just one area, where there’s a short chair lift and short runs.

When we approached the lift line, I noticed a woman waiting just outside the line. I made a comment that on such a beautiful day, she shouldn’t be kept waiting. She smiled and we went ahead.

A few minutes later, when we returned to the lift, she was still there. I suggested that whoever was keeping her waiting was rude and she should ride up with us. She replied that she might ride up with us the next time we came down.

I introduced my son, and myself. She told us her name was Lisa.

Next time down, again she was there and I said, “OK, that’s it; they’re being very rude and you should get to enjoy yourself.” “C’mon with us.” She then quietly told me the real story of what was going on. Evidently, she had had some sort of accident on a chairlift five years ago, and was scared to go on again.

Today, she was trying, but had stood there for over an hour trying to get up the nerve to go.

I told her I fully understood since I had a similar experience after I’d had a bad accident last Memorial Day in the half-pipe (you know, the event in the Olympics that Shaun White dominates). I had fallen, waking up on a ski gurney, after being unconscious for several minutes.

I ended up with a dislocated shoulder, two broken bones, and a concussion. So, when this season began, I approached the half-pipe with

Breast Enlargement Now Less Painful and A Great Time of Year To Do It Breast augmentation has, again, become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. The silicon gel breast implant “fiasco” has faded (where it belongs,) and besides, we use saline implants most of the time anyway.

Let’s talk about breast enlargement.

When I am seeing a patient thinking of enlarging her breasts, the biggest reason she hasn’t already had the operation is usually the fear of pain. Now, pain is always an important reason.

But, we have a great gadget to help with pain. The ON-Q Pain pump has been a true blessing for many of the painful operations we do. For instance, if you are considering a tummy tuck, we use it here too. This pump is like blowing up a balloon, except we use numbing medications (like

lidocaine which a dentist might use to numb your teeth.) The numbing fluid is slowly passed through a small tube that we insert next to your breast implant.

The implant is bathed in the lidocaine for TWO DAYS. WOW! The worst of the pain occurs in the first two days, so you get help during the most painful time. We still give you narcotics, but narcotics sometime have side effects like nausea and constipation that obviously are less if you need less, and use less.

Fantastic.

So, what are you waiting for? Bathing suit season is coming soon. Having your surgery now is a good idea. The reason is that we are probably going to place the implant under the pectoralis (chest-come on, you can learn some anatomy too)

muscle. The thing about putting implants there is that it takes time for the pectoralis to stretch out.

We need this stretching over weeks to months to allow the implant to lower itself into a correct position behind your breast.

OK, what’s your excuse now? We can help you with the pain, and NOW is a great time to have breast augmentation. Get the body balance you want. I tell my patients we are in the Happy Business. And it’s true. Our breast enlargement patients are some of our happiest!

Holder: Drug maker to pay $520 million

County trims toys in meals to cut fat SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) – County officials in Silicon Valley trying to curb childhood obesity voted Tuesday to ban restaurants from giving away toys and other freebies that often come with high-calorie meals aimed at kids.

The ordinance is largely symbolic as it would only cover unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County, meaning only about a dozen fast-food outlets and several other family-owned restaurants would be affected.

But its chief sponsor says that it’s still important because it paves the way for other areas to act, may spur action by fast-food chains to offer healthier choices and can help parents by taking away a child’s incentive for wanting less healthy food.

“This ordinance does not attack toys. Obviously, toys, in and of themselves, do not make children obese,” said county Supervisor Ken Yeager, who pushed for the ban.

The ban, which faces a final vote next month, would prohibit restaurants from giving away an incentive item, like a toy, with a meal that contains more than 485 calories, more than 600 milligrams of sodium and excessive amounts of fat and sugars.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The federal government on Tuesday reached a $520 million settlement with pharmaceutical manufacturer AstraZeneca, resolving allegations of illegal marketing of the company’s antipsychotic drug Seroquel.

At a news conference, Attorney General Eric Holder and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius made the case a centerpiece of the federal government’s crackdown on health care fraud.

AstraZeneca allegedly marketed Seroquel for off-label uses.

Sheila Richardson, 43, receives a free dental cleaning at the Remote Area Medical (RAM) clinic inside the Los Angeles Sports Arena in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Los Angeles clinic begins giving free care to thousands LOS ANGELES (AP) – They began arriving before dawn on a cold, misty morning, people of all ages lining up by the hundreds, some in wheelchairs, others hobbling on crutches, many of them missing teeth, all of them seeking the same thing: free medical care.

It was a scene that could have been playing out in a Third World country or perhaps some place like post-hurricane New Orleans, except that it wasn’t. It was unfolding in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday, and the hundreds who showed up weren’t refugees of a disaster or

a civil war, just mainly working people without health insurance.

One of them, Kenny Gillett hadn’t seen a doctor in two years, not since the 47-year-old welder lost his job and insurance when his employer went broke.

Adriana Valenzuela, a self-employed and uninsured cosmetologist, brought an 8-year-old son with a mouthful of cavities. Frank Carodine, a friendly white-haired man of 57, who rolled up in his wheelchair, said he had lost parts of both legs to diabetes, which was now ravaging his right eye. He needed glasses.

“I’ve got coverage for my diabetes, I go to a clinic, but it doesn’t cover eye exams,” he said.

Outside in the cold, several hundred more people, some balancing toddlers on their hips, waited patiently for their turn to enter the Los Angeles Sports Arena.

On Tuesday it was jumping with the energy of hundreds of smiling volunteer doctors, dentists, acupuncturists, chiropractors and other professionals, all of them brought together by the Tennesseebased nonprofit group Remote Area Medical.

Soldier back from war suspected of killing family ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – A 21-year-old military police officer who returned form Afghanistan two months ago likely shot his wife and 8month-old baby to death, police said Tuesday.

The bodies of Racquell Lynch, 19, and Kyirsta Lynch were found Monday by an apartment manager who opened up their Anchorage unit.

Authorities were looking for Spc. Kip Lynch, who had not shown up for duties at Fort Richardson Army Post. He was found severely wounded in another room.

UNC slams HPU in 10

WHO’S NEWS

SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

CHAPEL HILL – The High Point University baseball team took North Carolina to extra innings, but couldn’t pull out the win as the Tar Heels pulled out a 6-2 decision in the 10th inning.

UNC shortstop Ryan Graepel delivered a walk-off grand slam.

Junior Brian Jones pitched seven innings for the Panthers, holding UNC to two runs on five hits.

“When you strike out 13 times in a game, with many of them coming with less than two outs and runners in scoring position you won’t win a lot of baseball games,” said HPU head coach Craig Cozart. “Give credit to the UNC pitchers, they were aggressive and came right at us but offensively we didn’t get it done. Brian Jones pitched the game of his life and Mikel Rodenberg got us out of a jam but they scored last. We better be ready for Duke tomorrow.

Corey Swickle came out of the bullpen in the 10th inning and loaded the bases with no outs on a bloop single in to right field and an error

by Sal Pezzino.

Swickle falls to 4-2 with the loss while UNC reliever Greg Holt got the win with 11⁄3 innings of relief.

High Point pushed across one run in the second inning off UNC starter Garrett Davis.

The Panthers return to Williard Stadium today to host Duke at 6 p.m.

Wildcats clinch TAC

BY JASON QUEEN SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – Westchester Country Day School committed five errors and left the bases loaded three straight times during the Wildcats’ crucial Triad Athletic Conference showdown with defending state champion High Point Christian Academy on Tuesday.

Fighting through all those blunders will make the school’s first-ever conference championship that much sweeter.

Joe Max Floyd doubled three times, Devin McLemore and Markel Johnson homered and Alex Embler gutted his way to a complete-game five-hitter to lift Westchester to an 8-5 victory on Senior Night. Despite building an 8-1 lead after three innings, the Wildcats shot themselves in the foot repeatedly to let HPCA hang around. The Cougars even sent

the tying run to the plate in the top of the seventh, but Embler’s nifty curveball netted a strikeout to end the game and clinch the first TAC title in school history.

Wildcat coach Joey Hammond, whose team improved to 5-0 in the league and 16-4 overall, could finally breathe a sigh of relief. “We did get sloppy,” he said. “We left a lot of runs out there, we gave a lot of runs up.

“But to their credit, High Point battled. We certainly could have played better and made it more comfortable than it was there at the end.

But I’m really proud of them. We had some goals, we wanted to come out and play hard, and we did that.”

After his team fought back, pushing across two runs in the final frame to make the home crowd nervous, HPCA coach Corey Gesell was proud of the Cougars’ effort. “It was good to see our guys keep battling against a very good pitcher,” Gesell

said. “Our guys were battling, so I’m proud of them.”

Andrew Barnett gave the Cougars a 1-0 lead with a solo homer in the first. But the Wildcats responded, plating four runs in the bottom of the inning, keyed by Floyd’s RBI double and McLemore’s two-run bomb.

Johnson hit a solo shot in the second, and Westchester turned Floyd’s double, two errors, a balk and Micah Hedgepeth’s infield single into three more runs in the third.

But the Wildcats left the bases loaded in the third, fourth and fifth innings to leave the door open for an HPCA rally. Jared Gesell blooped an RBI double, then came around to score on an error to make it 8-3 in the fifth.

Gesell and Barnett reached on consecutive errors in the seventh, and Cameron Cecil reached on a dropped third strike. Justin Morrison followed with a two-run single to make it 8-5 before Embler’s K ended the game.

Brown’s future among Bobcats’ offseason questions CHARLOTTE (AP) – Charlotte Bobcats center Theo Ratliff has played for Larry Brown on two teams spanning three decades in his 14-year NBA career.

So maybe he knows what the nomadic Hall of Fame coach’s next move is.

“With coach Brown you know how things go for him,” a smiling Ratliff said Tuesday. “I’m sure he’s going to make the best decision for him and his family and what they have to do.”

Not long after Ratliff and the rest of the Bobcats took their exit physicals and scattered for the summer, Brown and owner Michael Jordan met at Time Warner Cable Arena. They didn’t address reporters, a day after the Bobcats’ first playoff appearance

ended with the thud of a four-game sweep amid questions if Brown will return for a third season.

“Not my decision,” forward Gerald WalBrown lace said when asked about Brown.

Brown, in his 13th pro or college coaching job, insisted after Orlando’s 99-90 victory Monday that clinched a 4-0 first-round victory that he won’t coach for anyone other than Jordan. But the 69-year-old Brown also said he’ll talk with his wife and children, who live in Philadelphia, before announcing if he’ll return for the final two years of his contract.

What makes the plot more intriguing is the 76ers have a vacant

coaching job, and perhaps a frontoffice opening soon, too. Brown’s longest stint as a coach was a sixyear stay in Philly when Ratliff played there.

“That’s hypothetical,” Brown said when asked if he’d leave Charlotte for a job as a general manager or team president.

While Brown’s future will be a hot topic, the Bobcats have several other personnel issues in their first offseason with Jordan as majority owner.

It’s the beginning of a new era in several ways, since the 6-yearold franchise’s previous goal of just making the playoffs no longer applies after Charlotte’s first, and brief, taste of the postseason produced uneven play and exposed offensive deficiencies.

The Bobcats will have difficulty making big moves this offseason because of the salary cap. They’ll have about $59 million in committed payroll for next season if they give a qualifying offer to restricted free agent Tyrus Thomas, who had 21 points in Monday’s loss.

That doesn’t include point guard Raymond Felton, who will become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Felton may have cost himself millions after being dominated by Orlando’s Jameer Nelson in the playoffs.

With only D.J. Augustin behind him, the Bobcats would need to either re-sign Felton or acquire another point guard. But Jordan has indicated he won’t get his payroll into luxury tax territory, which limits flexibility.

HIT AND RUN

R

oger Miller’s “King Of The Road” ranks as one of my favorite songs of all time.

That tune always puts a smile on my face.

I imagine the Tampa Bay Rays are enjoying at least the title of that song, too.

Tampa Bay currently sports Major League Baseball’s best road record at 9-1.

Their prowess away from the Florida sunshine is a big reason these Rays could be hard to catch in the rugged American

League East. I wouldn’t bet against the defending World Champion Yankees or the always dangerous Red Sox in the AL East just yet, but Tampa should be in this race for the long haul.

The Rays pack a powerful punch at the plate with Carlos Pena, Evan Longoria, Ben Zobrist, Pat Burrell and company.

The speedy combo of Carl Crawford and B.J. Upton keys a blistering running game.

James Shields, Matt Garza and David Price

lead an effective starting staff and the addition of closer Rafael Soriano bolsters a deep bullpen.

Don’t forget. The Rays are only two years removed from a World Series run, and many of those same pieces remain in place.

The AL East race figures to be an entertaining three-team marathon until September.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

The Carolina Panthers traded starting strong safety Chris Harris to the Chicago Bears on Tuesday, continuing their offseason roster overhaul.

The Panthers get reserve linebacker Jamar Williams in the deal, while Harris returns to Chicago less than three years after he was traded to Carolina.

Harris was deemed expendable after he struggled some in 2009 and Carolina added depth at safety.

He joins starters Jake Delhomme, Brad Hoover, Muhsin Muhammad, Damione Lewis, Maake Kemoeatu and Na’il Diggs who have moved on because of Carolina’s youth movement.

The Panthers also let Pro Bowl defensive end Julius Peppers leave in free agency to join the Bears.

The 25-yearold Williams has played in all 16 games in each of the past three seasons with the Bears, and had a career-high 43 tackles last season.

But he hadn’t been able to win a starting job with Lance Briggs in front of him and was a restricted free agent.

Harris had 44 tackles and three interceptions last season. He had 80 tackles the year before.

Goldman executive denies SEC allegations WASHINGTON (AP) – Top Goldman Sachs officials defended their conduct in the financial crisis on Tuesday, flatly disputing the government’s fraud allegations against the giant financial house. “I did not mislead” investors, insisted a trading executive at the heart of the government’s case.

But they ran into a wall of bipartisan wrath before a Senate panel investigating Goldman’s role in the financial crisis and the Securities and Exchange Commission fraud suit against it and one of its traders. Democratic Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan accused Goldman of making risky financial bets that “became the chips in a giant casino.”

The hearing comes as President Barack Obama and Democratic lawmak-

BRIEFS

UPS optimistic about economic recovery ATLANTA – Improving global economies helped shipping giant UPS boost its firstquarter profit and its prospects for the rest of the year, although a growing number of customers are choosing less-expensive options when sending packages.

UPS said health care companies are sending more medical devices and prescription drugs, high-tech firms are shipping more products and equipment, and there’s evidence of modest restocking of inventories among companies in general – good news for the economic recovery and for shippers like UPS and rival FedEx.

Crude stalls as investors watch Fed NEW YORK – Oil prices stalled for the second straight day on Tuesday as traders wait to see whether the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates at record lows that have helped push crude prices up.

Benchmark crude for May delivery fell $1.30 to $82.90 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

United Airlines parent reports loss MINNEAPOLIS – The parent of United Airlines posted a smaller-than-expected first-quarter loss on Tuesday as passenger revenue jumped.

Its planes were fuller and it collected more money from passengers, suggesting United is making a strong exit from last year’s sharp travel downturn.

ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

DILBERT

ers are trying to push through a financial regulations overhaul that they hope will win over voters ahead of November congressional elections.

The legislation would crack down on the kind of lightly regulated housing market investments that helped set off the crisis.

Fabrice Tourre – a 31year-old trader at Goldman and the only company official directly accused in the SEC suit – testified that he does not recall telling investors that a Goldman hedge fund client had bought into an investment that soured.

Instead, the hedge fund, Paulson & Co., bet against the security – and profited handsomely.

“I deny – categorically – the SEC’s allegation,” Tourre said. “And I will de-

fend myself in court against this false claim.”

Federal regulators said Tourre marketed an investment designed to lose value.

In a brash January 2007 email, Tourre called himself “The fabulous Fab ... standing in the middle of all these complex ... exotic trades he created.”

About a half-dozen protesters were in the committee room, dressed in prison stripes with names on signs around their necks of Tourre and Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein, who was also scheduled to testify.

“Fabulous Fab is not so fab when he takes from the poor,” the protesters spoke as a chorus before the hearing started. “We want to see these guys behind bars.”

They hissed at times during the testimony.

Fed meets amid signs of recovery WASHINGTON (AP) – With signs mounting the economy is gaining traction, Federal Reserve policymakers are increasingly focused on when and how they will reverse course and start boosting rates once the recovery is firmly entrenched.

Higher rates for millions of American borrowers are still months away at best, most economists predict.

Yet, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and his colleagues, who opened a twoday meeting Tuesday afternoon, are likely to discuss how best to use the various tools at their disposal to tighten credit and mop up the unprecedented amount of money that was pumped out to fight the economic and financial crises.

The Fed meets as the economy flashes growing signs of improvement.

Employers are creating jobs. Americans’ confidence is rising and they

are spending more. Manufacturers are boosting production. And, an increasing number of companies – such as Ford, UPS and Caterpillar – are seeing their profits grow. By those measures, the economy is in better shape now than when the Fed last met in mid-March.

Still, there are continuing strains: Unemployment is at 9.7 percent; loans are hard for people and businesses to obtain; and the housing and commercial real-estate markets are fragile. Greece’s debt crisis also is roiling Wall Street. Stocks plunged 213.04 points to close at 10,991.99.

“The Fed is going to sound more upbeat about the economy. Its message: The recovery is intact, but it is not so strong yet that it feels the need to signal tighter policy,” said Mike Feroli, economist at JP Morgan Chase Bank.

Consumer confidence rises NEW YORK (AP) – Americans’ confidence in the economy rose in April to its highest level since September 2008, just as the financial crisis escalated, according to a private research group.

The upbeat reading, combined with bullish earnings reports this week from companies ranging from Whirlpool Corp. to UPS Inc., offers more hope the economic rebound is gathering steam. Meanwhile, a key home price index reported

its first annual increase in more than three years, though it’s too early to say the housing market is recovering.

The Conference Board, a private research group based in New York, said Tuesday that its Consumer Confidence index increased to 57.9, up from a revised 52.3 in March.

The April reading is the highest since September 2008’s 61.4. That was when the financial crisis intensified with the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

Europe’s debt drags markets down NEW YORK (AP) – Investors are again worried that debt problems in Greece and Portugal could threaten the global economic recovery.

Stocks plunged in the U.S. and Europe Tuesday after Standard & Poor’s downgraded the debt of the two European countries.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 213 points, its biggest loss in almost three months. All the major market indexes were down about 2 percent.

The ratings downgrades also sent the dollar up more than 1.1 percent against the euro, hitting its highest level in about a year. At the same time, gold and Treasury prices rose as investors sought safer investments. The three often do not trade in the same direction.

“It was a knee-jerk reaction,” said Brian Peardon, a wealth adviser at Harrison Financial Group in Citrus Heights, Calif. Peardon said the small size of Greece and Portugal’s economies mean their debt struggles are not yet a major problem. But if they were to default on their debt, other countries that hold their bonds would also suffer.

A setback in the European economic recovery “sends a U.S. recovery back and spreads to emerging markets,” said Eric Thorne, an investment adviser at Bryn Mawr Trust Wealth Management in Bryn Mawr, Pa.

Tarmac rule to be strongly enforced WASHINGTON (AP) — Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood sent a message Tuesday to airlines who might be tempted to violate his department’s new threehour limit on tarmac strandings: Do so at your peril.

“There will be strong enforcement,” LaHood told reporters in a conference call.

“I just think that has to part of our plan to make sure that passengers understand and that airlines understand we’re serious about this.”

LaHood sidestepped a question about whether he will seek the maximum fine against airlines that break the rule — $27,500 per passenger. But he pointed to his

department’s recent $16.4 million fine against Toyota for its slow response to sticking gas pedals as an indication of his inclination.

“I don’t think anybody thinks that Ray LaHood is not going to have strong enforcement,” he said.

The rule limiting to three hours the amount of time airlines can keep passengers waiting in planes on tarmacs goes into effect on Thursday. After three hours, planes must return to a gate unless the flight’s captain decides its unsafe to do so or it would interfere with airport operations. The rule also requires airlines to provide passengers with working toilets and, after two hours, food and water.

Greece downgraded as crisis worsens ATHENS (AP) — Europe’s government debt crisis worsened ominously Tuesday when Greek bonds were downgraded to junk status and Portugal’s debt was lowered on fears the trouble could spread.

Stocks slid on the news.

German reluctance to fund most of a €45 billion bailout of Greece by European government and the International Monetary Fund is sending shudders through markets that the money may not reach Greece by May 19, when €8.5 billion in bond payments come due.

Germany wants to see a commitment to deep, long-term cutbacks in Greek government services and benefits before it agrees to provide its €8.4 billion euro of the bailout cash. But investors remain highly skeptical that Greek voters used to generous benefits and worker protections will accept a drop in living standards. They also worry that the proposed bailout will not cure Greece’s long-term imbalance between its soaring debt and tepid prospects of economic growth.

Investment allows GM to keep jobs DETROIT (AP) — General Motors Co. will invest $890 million at five factories to make its V-8 engines more fuel efficient, preserving or creating roughly 1,600 jobs.

The automaker planned to announce the investments Tuesday at factories in Tonawanda, N.Y.; St. Catherines, Ontario; Bay City, Mich.; Bedford, Ind.; and Defiance, Ohio.

DreamWorks profit falls in 1st quarter

Walter Arbuckle of Braintree, Vt., looks over Ford F-150s at the Formula Ford dealership in Montpelier, Vt.

Ford profits on strong sales DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — Ford Motor Co. said Tuesday it earned $2.1 billion in the first quarter, another sign the economy is improving as people spend more on big-ticket items like cars. The automaker expects to be solidly profitable this year, a year earlier than its previous guidance.

Ford said its net income per share was 50 cents for the quarter. That’s an about-face from the same period last year when it lost $1.4 billion, or 60 cents per share, at the height of the recession. It was Ford’s fourth straight positive quarter and its highest quarterly profit in six years.

Ford, the only Detroitarea automaker to shun government aid and stay

out of bankruptcy protection last year, gained market share from crosstown rivals General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC. It also benefited from Toyota Motor Corp.’s safety recalls of millions of vehicles. Ford was one of the top brands considered by Toyota owners who were shopping for a new car, Kelley Blue Book said.

In a sign of its confidence in the economic recovery, Ford said it’s boosting North American production in the second quarter to 625,000 vehicles, a 9 percent increase over first-quarter levels. The increase could mean additional hiring by Ford, but Chief Financial Officer Lewis Booth said Tuesday it’s too early to say

if the company will be adding workers.

“If we continue to grow, maybe we’ll talk about that sometime later,” Booth said.

The company was profitable in its key North American market, but it also made money in Asia, South America and Europe. In the U.S., it saw strong sales of the F-150 pickup and Ford Fusion sedan, while the new Fiesta small car sold well in Asia.

Booth said the company is seeing some economic recovery, especially in the U.S., but the recovery isn’t exceeding Ford’s earlier prediction of 11.5 million to 12.5 million in total U.S. sales for the year.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. said Tuesday that its firstquarter net income fell 65 percent from a year ago mainly because the movie studio lacked a major home video release at the start of this year.

The studio’s net profit of $22 million, or 24 cents per share, still beat analysts’ expectations by a penny per share.

Norfolk Southern earnings rise 45% NEW YORK (AP) — Norfolk Southern says the economy picked up steam and drove its firstquarter earnings up 45 percent, despite sharply higher fuel prices.

The railroad said Tuesday it earned $257 million, or 68 cents per share, compared with $177 million, or 47 cents per share, a year earlier. The most recent quarter included a charge of 7 cents per share related to the newly enacted health care law.
