Help is on the way. 5A BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – In an area that has no shortage of churches and nonprofit organizations that have answered the call for disaster relief in the past, many groups in the Triad are waiting to find out if they’ll be able to lend a helping hand in Haiti as well. The High Point/Thomasville chapter of the American Red Cross and the World Relief office in High Point have been in touch with their national headquarters, which are organizing relief efforts in the country after it was hit by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake on Tuesday. The fact that the earthquake took place on distant shores, however, may delay other groups’ response to the disaster or change the ways in which they help. “We usually respond with a tragedy when it’s on our shore. We have a disaster relief trailer with supplies,” said Ben Vogler, minister with youth and recreation at First Baptist Church in High Point, who noted the church’s immediate response when Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. “When it’s something like this, you can’t go on your own. I’m sure we’ll be hearing soon from some of the organizations that we normally team up with.” Mark Kadel, executive director of the World Relief office in High Point,

• Snack foods, such as granola bars • Cereal • Peanut Butter • Blankets • Towels and washcloths • Hygiene products such as soap, toothpaste, shampoo, etc. • First Aid kits

said most groups won’t travel to the country until the initial chaos settles. Until then, local residents can help by donating to reputable disaster relief funds or by collecting items that may be needed in the country, he said. That’s what Jonathan Lawson, student pastor at Crossover Community Church in High Point, plans to do at the church on Sunday. The church will be collecting some non-perishable food and toiletry items from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. that day, which then will be driven to Barefoot Community Church in Myrtle Beach, S.C. From there, the items will be flown to Haiti. “We saw the need in Haiti,” Lawson said,” and this is how we wanted to respond to it.” Kadel said the organization had relocated some Haitian refugees to the city several years ago, but it no longer had connections with those refugees. The offices of Rep. Howard Coble, R6, and Rep. Mel Watts, D-12, said they had received inquiries from constituents seeking the status of loved ones in Haiti, but it wasn’t clear how many. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

FedEx will play key role in quake relief efforts BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – FedEx Corp. will provide upward of $1 million in initial contributions to the Haitian earthquake relief effort, though its cargo hub at Piedmont Triad International Airport probably won’t be directly involved in the campaign, a corporate spokesman said. FedEx will provide $1 million in cash support and will work with relief agencies to provide logistical assistance to the Caribbean island nation, said Jim McCluskey, spokesman at the corporate headquarters in Memphis. The overnight sorting conglomerate will work with the groups such as the Red Cross, Heart to Heart International, Direct Relief International and Water Missions International. FedEx has played a role in major U.S. and international relief efforts from the time the company launched its first flights in 1973. The company’s planes played a role in ferrying

HIGH POINT – Hopes that a High Point Housing Authority redevelopment project will soon start construction have gotten a boost. After the first tax credit investor for Clara Cox Homes backed out and elected not to play a role in the financing of the planned affordable housing community in southeast High Point, a new investor for the project has been secured.

Project is victim of sour economy. 2A Officials involved with the project said they expect construction to begin before June at the 20-acre site of the former Clara Cox Homes public housing community, which was demolished nearly five years ago. “While the Clara Cox redevelopment effort has not been exempt from the (tax

credit investor) market challenges, we are pleased to report the project is successfully moving forward,” Dionne Nelson, vice president for Crosland, the Charlotte-based developer working with the authority, wrote in an e-mail. In 2008, the authority was granted $1 million in federal tax credits and a $615,000 state tax credit loan for the first phase of the project, and enlisted SunTrust Banks Inc. to invest in the tax credits. Officials hoped the project would begin

construction last summer, but the company backed out of the deal. Nelson said the authority is proceeding with a new investor for the first two phases of the planned $28 million, three-phase project that will consist primarily of multifamily rental units. Nelson said the investor wishes to remain anonymous until the deal is expected to close this spring. The authority has been working to find funding since Clara Cox Homes

No county talks yet on library budgets BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – County officials have yet to consider budgets for the public libraries in High Point and Greensboro, several commissioners said Thursday. This year, the Board of Commissioners cut library support by $90,000, or 19 percent, to $385,000 for the Neal F. Austin High Point Public Library. City officials absorbed the cut in the city budget. The county appropriation is about 7 percent of the library’s $5 million budget. Commissioners reduced the Greensboro library allocation by $1.8 million. For years, commissioners have battled over library funding and reports circulated

LIBRARY SUPPORT

----

In 2004, the county increased support for the Neal F. Austin High Point Public Library to $340,000. Funding was steadily increased in following years to $475,000 until the Board of Commissioners cut the allocation this year to $385,000. last month that another round of cuts was coming. Commissioners did not mention any specific budget matters during their retreat last week. The county supports the libraries in High Point and Greensboro to help pay for county residents who use them. Neither library charges

fees to county residents. “And there can be no fee if the libraries get state funding,” Republican Commissioner Linda Shaw said during a board meeting. “Library funding has not been discussed.” Republican Commissioner Steve Arnold of High Point has argued for years that the libraries are city responsibilities. Democratic Commissioner Bruce Davis of High Point said last month he thinks library funding is “adequate.” County officials have acknowledged they expect another tough budget year. “We have not discussed library funding,” said Board Chairman Skip Alston. “I do not support cuts,” said Democratic Com-

missioner Kirk Perkins. “We should take a step back and look at this.” In other action, the board: • Approved $6.9 million from hotel-motel room occupancy tax revenues shared with Greensboro for construction of the $19 million Greensboro Aquatic Center at the Coliseum Complex. Greensboro also will use $12 million in parks and recreation bond proceeds for the project. • Denied a request from High Point officials for extended city zoning authority 1 mile beyond city limits for growth areas. Instead, county planners will work with city planners to identify any needed changes to development ordinances. dnivens@hpe.com|888-3626

NC court hears challenge to big coastal insurance rate hike RALEIGH (AP) – A North Carolina appeals court is weighing whether to freeze or even reverse homeowners’ insurance premiums that soared by up to almost 30 percent along the coast while sliding by a third in counties farthest from the shore. A three-judge Court of Appeals panel heard arguments Thursday in a lawsuit by coastal communities trying to overturn a deal struck in late 2008 between former Insurance Commissioner Jim Long and the North Carolina Rate Bureau, which represents insurers. The municipalities argued Long approved the increases before coastal residents knew insurers had requested them and set rates at unreasonably high levels. Attorneys for the state agency and the Rate Bureau told the judges state law makes the insurance commissioner responsible for representing consumers, and rate

settlements can’t be appealed to the court by anyone else. “Suppose the commissioner gets it wrong?” Judge Linda Stephens wondered. “I don’t know of anywhere else where an order can be issued and there’s no right to appeal that,” Judge Martha Geer said. A court ruling could come later this year. Long’s decision meant that homeowners policies that were written or renewed beginning May 1 for coastal properties from Sunset Beach to Morehead City could jump 29.8 percent. Policy premiums for homes on the Outer Banks counties of Currituck, Dare, Hyde and Pamilco were allowed to rise by 22 percent, a big jump but a bargain compared to the doubling of rates that insurance companies originally sought. The deal also allowed homeowners in 32 western counties to cut

their premiums, in two counties by up to 6 percent. The rate changes included policies written by both private insurance companies and the Beach Plan, the state’s property insurance provider for coastal properties. The General Assembly last summer was forced to shore up the overextended Beach Plan by capping potential costs to insurers and putting every property owner in the state on the hook from a disastrous hurricane season. Some insurers had threatened to quit doing business in the state to limit their exposure to Beach Plan losses unless the program was bolstered, current Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin warned last summer. Despite the rate increases and Beach Plan reforms, State Farm decided to quit the homeowners insurance business on North Carolina’s barrier islands.

Clara Cox clears hurdle. 1A

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The economy has put a damper on the type of investment needed for the Clara Cox Homes project. Banks and other large corporate investors that have heavily invested in low-income housing tax credit programs during boom times have scaled back their participation or exited the market altogether. “Financing for tax credit deals is more difficult than in recent years,” Dionne Nelson, vice president for Crosland, the Charlottebased developer working on the project, wrote in an e-mail. “Tax credit markets are strong when economic times are good because more companies generate excess profits that they seek to offset by investing in tax credits. ... However, tax credit deals are still getting done, and stimulus funds have helped projects move forward at a very difficult time.” Nelson said the second

phase of the Clara Cox project was awarded Tax Credit Assistance Program funds, which are a type of stimulus funds. The entire project is expected to be made up of about 210 multifamily rental units and 19 singlefamily homes on the 19.4acre Clara Cox site at 621 E. Grimes Ave. The ultimate goal of High Point Housing Authority officials is to complete the site and revitalize the surrounding area. “I think there is a demand for affordable housing, and how much I’m not certain,” said City Councilman Mike Pugh. Plans still call for phase one of the project to be composed of 80 units on 7.4 acres. Fifteen of the units will be subsidized public housing. The others will be reserved for low-income residents. “The project is still the same. We’re still doing the same number of units in each of the phases. Nothing in regards to the plans that we’ve presented to the public has changed,” said Von Gore of the authority. “We’re still working it hard. We just all have to be patient at this point.” pkimbrough@hpe.com 888-3531

Car repossessed with toddler inside SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) – Police in California say a car dealer who repossessed a San Jose woman’s Honda Accord left with something a bit more valuable: her 2year-old son. The child, Cyrus Lopez, was sleeping in the back of the car on Tuesday night when it was taken

away because the boy’s mother, Isabel Leuvano, was behind on her payments. Leuvano says she was waiting for her daughter outside the running car when someone jumped in and drove off. Police say the driver was 47-year-old Alberto Luna, the owner of Al-

berto’s Auto Sales. Officers located the toddler a half-hour later – about the same time Luna told authorities that he discovered the boy. Sgt. Ronnie Lopez says kidnapping charges don’t appear to be warranted. But he says Luna should have checked the car thoroughly.

Former Westchester headmaster will be remembered Saturday ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Friends and supporters of Westchester Country Day School learned this week that former Head of School Charles Albert Hamblet died after battling cancer. Known to many as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chuck,â&#x20AC;? Hamblet, 67, was head of the school from 2006 to 2009. He died in St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Ga. Following a brief retirement from St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School in Newport, R.I., in 2004, Hamblet was asked to serve as interim Westchester headmaster. He soon became a beloved figure on campus and was asked to stay on permanently. Hamblet stepped aside last spring because of his cancer diagnosis. A memorial service will be held in the St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School Chapel at 11:30 a.m. Saturday in the Hamblet Campus Center.

With a background in mathematics, athletics and education, Hamblet served on many boards and education committees, including as board member of the International Scholar Athlete Hall of Fame, A Better Chance, and Concord Academy in Concord, Mass., and as trustee of Bridgton Academy in Bridgton, Maine, and the Fessenden School in West Newton, Mass. He also served as president of the Independent School League Athletic Association and as chair of the New England Association of Schools. Hamblet spent 19 years at Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, N.H., where he was a mathematics teacher, coach and campus leader. In 1989, Hamblet was named headmaster of St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School, where he presided over a period in which the

school established itself as a national leader among coeducational boarding schools. Just three months ago, Hamblet was inducted into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame. He received the Frank W. Keaney Award for personifying the scholar-athlete ideal from the Institute for International Sport in 2002. Hamblet graduated from Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio, with a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in mathematics. He earned a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degrees in education from Rutgers University and a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in mathematics from Brown University. In addition to his wife, Carol, Hamblet is survived by two sons and their families: Rick and Lesley and grandchildren Nate and Nicole of Houston, Texas, and Todd and Lauren and grandson Alexander of San Francisco.

‘No cars in yards’ law doesn’t clean ’em up While driving Saturday, I decided to check out the new “no cars in yards” law in High Point. English Road looked different, only mudholes where cars once sat. There were still cars in yards on Prospect Street, Academy Street and Lincoln Drive. I could never understand why someone could be so sorry they wouldn’t walk from their driveway to their home. This is also true for shopping centers. I can’t tell you of the times I have sat in my car waiting for a friend to get his groceries or medicine. I saw people parked close to the door of these establishment, usually young and obese people. I saw small children and the elderly almost get hit by a car because they couldn’t see around these cars where people park illegally, because they were too sorry to walk a few more feet. I once saw a shopping center put down orange cones and not one car was parked illegally. Since some people are basically lazy, and it’s impossible to check them all, they should try this cone remedy for everyone’s sake. DAVE CECIL Trinity

That act allows parents in schools that fail to make “Adequate Yearly Progress” two years in a row to seek transfers to other schools in the district. A huge flaw in the evaluation process for determining “Adequate Yearly Progress,” or AYP, is that a school can be labeled a failure by not meeting just one of the multitude of goals schools as a whole and subgroups in a school have. For testing purposes in the AYP evaluation process, subgroups in schools are identified along such lines as race, economic status and disabilities. If, for example, students in a disabilities subgroup fail to achieve a benchmark score, the entire school does not make “adequate yearly progress,” and it is deemed a failure. That evaluation process is unfair and should be changed. It just doesn’t make sense for an entire school to be labeled a failure because of such an outcome in the evaluation process. But that’s the way the program currently is administered. So, given no change in that procedure, we suggest a change in another program procedure. Why not – in a school that fails to make AYP two years in a row – allow only students in the failed subgroup or subgroups the right to transfer. That seems fair and logical. After all, hasn’t the school failed in its mission only the students in the subgroup that did not achieve its designated goal for AYP? So why should every student in the school – even those in subgroups that did achieve their goals – be given the opportunity to transfer? The school obviously has not failed those students who achieved their goals. Injecting logic into the evaluation process – it seems – would save school officials some headaches.

VA move to schedule Saturday appointments helps veterans

have mentioned before that I believed the Department of Veterans Affairs continues to improve services to us. Now, I am certain of this. I had been waiting for approximately five months for a hearing test. On Friday, Jan. 8, I had a call about it from the VA. The caller told me that if I could be in Salisbury on Saturday at 9 a.m., I could get this hearing test done. The VA is now scheduling appointments on Saturdays, and this is good news. So don’t give up; hang in there; it will happen. Just as I have written before, don’t give up on your claim; it will happen. I am encouraged by the turnaround I see in the services now. It certainly has improved greatly since Gen. Erik Shinseki became Secretary of Veterans Affairs. I have often stated I believe veterans are best served when we have one of our own in positions of leadership. We have retired military leaders who work diligently advocating for veterans, to name a few: • Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, U.S. Army (Ret), served 35 years active duty. His career is defined by two major military events; Vietnam and Desert Storm. He continues to devote much of his time to veterans issues. • Shinseki, U.S. Army (Ret), was the 34th chief of staff. He was appointed in December 2008 secretary of Veteran Affairs. He has made a great deal of improvements at the VA. Also, Gen. Shinseki is known as “the one who got it right on Iraq.” • Rep. Howard Coble, R-6th, served in the U.S. Coast Guard, active and reserve, for 271⁄2 years. He is very supportive of veterans. We can always count on Congressman Coble, and I last saw him at the Caring Services/ Vet Safety Net. If possible, Coble always will attend veterans gatherings. Coble and his

staff are always very helpful to veterans in the 6th District. • Rep. Mel. Watt, D-12th, works diligently in the 12th District for veterans. I have attended his roundtable meetings with veterans at the Salisbury VA center. He and VETERAN’S his staff are very willing to help veterans and their family VIEWS members work through the government red-tape. Stan A news brief about the VA’s Spangle Sr. Home Loan Program: The VA ■■■ is making good on its promise to help veterans buy homes. Currently about 1.3 million active home loans were obtained using the VA’s Home Loan Guaranty Program, this program makes home ownership more affordable for veterans, active-duty members and surviving spouses by protecting lenders from loss if the borrower fails to repay the loan. The program had a much lower rate of foreclosures than other mortgage lenders. If you need help, call the VA. They will be very willing to help. Our veterans luncheon last Saturday was well-attended despite the cold weather. It was good to see so many veterans. Actually, it was the largest group we have had. It was good to see new faces there, and we hope you will join us again. We appreciated seeing the familiar faces as well. We want to increase our attendance and, hopefully, offer new and useful information to veterans. God bless America and all the other nations. Semper Fi. STAN SPANGLE SR. is a 21-year veteran of the Marine Corps, serving in Korea and Vietnam. He’s a member of numerous veterans organizations.

Suicide bomber kills 20 people in Afghanistan KABUL – A suicide bomber killed 20 people – including three children – Thursday in a market in central Afghanistan in the deadliest attack against Afghan civilians in more than three months. Suicide bombings and other attacks have become the No. 1 killer of Afghan civilians in the intensifying war between U.S.-led forces and the Taliban. A United Nations report released this week found that the number of Afghan civilians killed in war-related violence rose last year to its highest level of the 8-year-old war.

Taliban chief believed alive after missile strike ISLAMABAD – The leader of the Pakistani Taliban was apparently targeted in a U.S. missile strike on a meeting of militant commanders close to the Afghan border Thursday, but he escaped unhurt, Pakistani officials and militants said. Twelve insurgents were believed killed. The death of Hakimullah Mehsud would be a major victory for both for Washington and Islamabad in their fight against Islamist militants. Mehsud appeared on a video released last week sitting next to the Jordanian militant who killed seven CIA employees in a suicide attack in December in Afghanistan.

Iraq’s commission bars 500 candidates BAGHDAD – Iraq’s electoral commission on Thursday barred 500 candidates from running in March’s parliamentary election, including a prominent Sunni lawmaker, in a decision that is sure to deepen Iraq’s sectarian divides. Hamdia al-Hussaini, a commissioner on the Independent High Electoral Commission, said the commission made the decision after receiving the list from a parliament committee that vets candidates for ties to Saddam Hussein’s outlawed Baath party.

Attack in Jordan targets Israeli Embassy convoy NAOUR, Jordan – A roadside bomb exploded Thursday near a convoy of Israeli diplomats traveling through Jordan on their way home for the weekend, but no one was hurt, officials in both countries said. Ambassador Daniel Nevo was not in the convoy, Israeli officials in Jerusalem said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. It was the first time a roadside bomb was used in an attack in Jordan, where suicide bombings and shootings have been common in recent years.

Ex-president Perez under house arrest PANAMA CITY – Former president Ernesto Perez Balladares was put under house arrest Thursday while authorities investigate accusations that he laundered money. Perez, who was in office from 1994 to 1999, is suspected of accepting an unspecified amount of money from a casino called Lucky Games SA. During his term, the government granted the casino an operating license. Organized crime prosecutor Jose Ayu said he issued the order to ensure Perez does not leave the country.

Relief aid makes way into Haiti PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – Desperately needed aid from around the world slowly made its way Thursday into Haiti, where supply bottlenecks and a leadership vacuum left rescuers scrambling on their own to save the trapped and injured and get relief supplies into the capital. The international Red Cross estimated that 45,000 to 50,000 people were killed in Tuesday’s magnitude-7.0 earthquake. President Barack Obama announced that “one of the largest relief efforts in our recent history” is moving toward Haiti, with thousands of troops and a broad array of civilian rescue workers flying or sailing in to aid the stricken country – backed by more than $100 million in relief funds. To the Haitians, Obama promised: “You will not be forsaken.” The nascent flow of rescue workers showed some results: A newly arrived search team pulled

U.N. security worker Tarmo Joveer alive from the organization’s collapsed headquarters, where about 100 people are still trapped. He stood, held up a fist in celebration, and was helped to a hospital. There are easily hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of people trapped, living or dead, in collapsed buildings. No one knows for certain. Friends and relatives have had to claw at the wreckage, often with bare hands, to try to free them. Many dead bodies that were recovered still lay in the street, often covered by a white cloth, in 81-degree heat. Some people dragged the dust-covered dead along the roads toward the morgue, where people came to hunt for relatives in a macabre sea of hundreds of bodies.

In this photo released by the United Nations, buildings affected by an earthquake are shown in ruins in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Wednesday.

Aid workers face uphill task GENEVA (AP) – Roads full of hungry, homeless people. An estimated 50,000 dead. A ruined port and an overwhelmed airport. Hundreds of crumpled buildings and little heavy machinery. Few working phones. Relief supplies and emergency experts started pouring into Haiti from around the world Thursday, but aid groups said the challenge of helping Haiti’s desperate quake survivors was enormous. “It’s chaos,” U.N. humanitarian spokeswoman Elisabeth Byrs told The Associated Press. “It’s a logistical nightmare.” Aid deliveries by ship were impossible to Portau-Prince because the Haitian capital’s port was

closed due to severe damage from Tuesday’s magnitude-7 earthquake. The city’s airport was open but damaged, laboring mightily to handle a flurry of incoming aid flights. Fearful of going near quake-damaged buildings, Haitians stood or rested on the roads, slowing the transport of food and other crucial aid. Coordinating deliveries was also a problem, which is being tackled by U.N. and U.S. officials, Byrs said. With the U.N. peacekeeping force in tatters, representatives of aid organizations say there does not appear to be anyone coordinating distribution of relief supplies at the airport in Port-au-Prince.

Official: 36 U.N. personnel killed UNITED NATIONS (AP) – Crews rescued a security guard Thursday from the U.N. headquarters building that collapsed in the Haiti earthquake, “a small miracle” as 36 U.N. personnel were confirmed dead and nearly 200 remained missing, the head of the world body said. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the U.N.’s mission chief, Hedi Annabi, and his chief deputy, Luis Carlos da Costa, are among roughly 100 people still buried in the rubble of the five-story headquarters building. The U.N. chief said early Thursday morning, rescuers at the collapsed headquarters build-

ing heard “scratching sounds” and located Tarmo Joveer, an Estonian close protection officer, under about 4 meters (13 feet) of rubble. He was given water through a rubber pipe, pulled out and taken to the U.N. mission hospital run by Argentine staff. “It was a small miracle during a night which brought few other miracles,” Ban said. Speaking by videoconference from Port-auPrince, David Wimhurst, a spokesman for the U.N. peacekeeping mission, said Joveer was covered in dust and dehydrated, but “he walked out of there unscathed. ... He was very, very grateful to be alive.”

Haiti quake victims coming in waves to Florida hospitals MIAMI (AP) – Injured survivors of Haiti’s devastating earthquake have begun arriving in South Florida for treatment. The University of Miami Jackson Memorial Hospital has already received 11 patients, including eight U.S. citizens. Trauma surgeon Mark McKenney said Thursday that the injured were coming in waves and nine more patients were ex-

pected later that day. McKenney said doctors have already performed an amputation and are treating a brain injury. He says six of the patients were in good to fair condition and four remain in critical. McKenney said doctors at Jackson Memorial are considering using a satellite phone system to better assist doctors treating the injured in Haiti.

US calls for more security for flights

Lobbying battle over biotech drugs enters health debate WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Makers of generic biotech drugs, backed by President Barack Obama and a well-placed congressional ally, are waging an eleventh-hour battle to reduce the competitive protection that the emerging health overhaul bill would give to brand-name producers of the expensive pharmaceuticals. Biotech drugs, made from living matter and used to treat diseases from cancer to diabetes, have been a growing portion of the pharmaceutical market and are seen as key to the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. The House- and Senate-passed bills reshaping the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care system would both grant biotech producers 12 years of protection against lower-cost

generic competitors. Yet with White House and congressional bargainers moving toward a final health bill, Obama and Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, are trying to reduce the curbs against competition to 10 years or less. The effort was described by industry and congressional officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks are private. Obama met privately with House Democrats Thursday and was told by Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., that he should support the 12-year period since the House and Senate both voted for it, participants said. Obama disagreed with that figure, they said.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; All airlines flying to the United States or within the country were told Thursday to prepare for even tighter security because of the al-Qaida threat from Yemen, a law enforcement official said. The U.S. increased the number of air marshals on international flights and pressed for more random screening at airports as intelligence officials warned that al-Qaidaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s branch

in Yemen was continuing to plot attacks on the United States. A U.S. counterterrorism official said American intelligence agencies were intensely examining all information about threats from the Yemenbased al-Qaida in the Arab Peninsula, including potential plots and specific individuals. Counterterrorism agencies have serious concerns about al-Qaida plots emanating from Yemen, the official said.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Strides in race relations have been made since the death of Martin Luther King Jr., but having complete racial equality still has a long way to go, according to a group of panelists who spoke Thursday morning at Davidson County Community College. As part of Thomasville’s Martin Luther King Social Action Committee’s 9-day celebration of the 2010 MLK National Holiday, the 10th annual State of the Dream Forum was held at DCCC. Panelists included John Campbell, executive director of the N.C. Human Relations Commission, Jose Perez, a language and translations specialist for Food Lion, Gayland Oliver, founder/president of Century Medical Supplies, and S. Wayne Patterson, a civil rights attorney. “Over 40 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther Jr.’s assassination echoed change in our nation,” said Martin Luther King Social Action Committee Chair-

Human Relations Commission. man George Jackson, the forum’s moderator. “... His words still speak to us on social conditions that are nation faces ... Economic inequality remains a barrier for greater racial equality, so the national commemoration of Dr. King’s birthday is more today for reflection than celebration. During one of the worst economic crises ever seen in this country, black, white economic inequality is still a vast and greatly under recognized challenge for this country.”

Campbell, who has been a pastor for 25 years, spoke on why he believes 11 a.m. each Sunday remains the most segregated hour in America. “It boils down to folks don’t readily run to embrace change,” he said. “That’s a big change, first of all. We have historically and traditionally worshiped separately. There continues to be that mind set and attitude that ours is the only way ... How do we walk and talk as brothers and sisters? I hate to burst somebody’s bubble, but there is no white heav-

en and there is no black heaven. We are all God’s children.” Oliver spoke on the impact that King’s “I have a dream” speech has had on his life, saying the speech “itself has always stood in his mind.” “I wish (King) was here to see how America has made a lot of progress and is continuing to make progress,” he said. “Thank God for you younger folks who are walking without seeing color having a lot of prejudice in your minds, so you can just love someone for who

they are until they do you wrong.” A civil rights attorney, Patterson said there are still race issues. “As a whole in 2010, I do think there are some hidden discrimination issues and prejudice,” he said. “However, in 1968 a lot of these issues were out in the open, but as a whole, America is getting much better, trying to be much more diversified ... As a whole, we are moving in the right direction, but we still have a lot to do.”

Randolph school leader gets contract extension BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

RANDOLPH COUNTY – Superintendent Donald Andrews will continue to lead Randolph County Schools through the 2012-2013 school year. This week, the Randolph County Board of Education extended Andrews’ contract, which was set to expire July 1, 2012, to June 30, 2013. Grady Lawson was the only member who voted against extending the contract. “It really isn’t about the superintendent,” Andrews said of the extension. “A superintendent contract (extension), to me, shows support for the entire administration, and we have a good team. It meant a lot to me, both personally for me and my family, but also for our administration for the work and efforts they put forward because that extension, to me, was a vote of confidence for our administration team.” The extension of the contract didn’t come with a raise for Andrews, who currently makes about $170,000 a year, including benefits. Andrews said he “didn’t expect a raise, nor did I request one.” “I

think requesting a raise at this time with the tight economic times would not be prudent when we have people who don’t even have jobs,” he said. “I feel that I’m being fairly compensated by the Randolph County Board of Education. Just the extension – that meant more to me, my family and administration than any dollars that could have been put in.” With the extension of his contract, Andrews said he has several priorities as the superintendent of Randolph County Schools. “Working with the county government, we’ve got facility needs for the long-range building program that we are working on and the continuing literacy needs of our children, preparing our children for a work force that’s forever changing,” he said. “I think those two are the major areas that we would look at.” Andrews, who has led Randolph County Schools since 2005, also has been superintendent for the Harnett County and Camden County school systems. He has been a superintendent for 15 of his 35 years in education. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Ten days into North Carolina’s smokefree restaurants and bars law, the Davidson County Health Department has received no complaints against specific restaurants and bars for follow-up and investigation. “The fact that there are no complaints in this first report confirms our predictions that Davidson County businesses are, for the most part, fully complying with the law,” said Davidson County Health Department Director Layton Long. “We appreciate their cooperation.” The law, which went into effect on Jan. 2, requires all bars and restaurants in the state to be smoke-free. There are limited exceptions for cigar bars and non-profit private clubs, such as patriotic clubs and some country clubs. Lodging establishments must also restrict smoking and may reserve no more than 20 percent of their rooms for smoking. Complaints were logged by residents calling the N.C. CARE-LINE (800-662-7030), visiting www.smokefree.nc.gov Web site, or calling their local health department to report businesses for not following the law’s requirements of posting no-smoking signs, removing ashtrays and asking patrons who light up to put their cigarettes or other burning tobacco products out.

R&B singer Teddy Pendergrass dies at 59 NEW YORK (AP) – R&B singer Teddy Pendergrass, who was one of the most electric and successful figures in music until a car crash 28 years ago left him in a wheelchair, has died of colon cancer. He was 59. Pendergrass died Wednesday in suburban Philadelphia, where he had been hospitalized for months. The singer’s son, Teddy Pendergrass Pendergrass II, said his father underwent colon cancer surgery eight months ago and had “a difficult recovery.” Before the crash, Pendergrass established a new era of R&B with an explosive, raw voice that symbolized masculinity, passion and the joys and sorrow of romance in songs such as “Close the Door,” “It Don’t Hurt Now,” “Love T.K.O.” and other hits that have since become classics. He was an international superstar and sex symbol. His career was at its apex – and still climbing. Friend and longtime collaborator Kenny Gamble, of the renowned production duo Gamble & Huff, teamed with Pendergrass on his biggest hits and recalled how the singer was even working on a movie.

Reform panel suggests purchasing, IT changes

S.C. Salvation Army gets help after check fraud CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Salvation Army chapter in South Carolina says it is receiving donations from as far away as California after it was victimized by a hoax involving a fake check.

Capt. Anthony Juliana said Wednesday the agency had received over $75,000 from more than 250 donors nationwide. The agency received a check for $25,000 in December purporting to

be a donation from a local company. The agency deposited the check and used some of it to help about 100 families. The bank called two days before Christmas, saying the check had bounced and the agency was left with

less money than expected to help the needy. Juliana says the recent donations include an anonymous wire transfer for the full amount of the bounced check. Officials say there have been no arrests.

County ABC board chairman resigns CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The chairman of a North Carolina ABC board under scrutiny after board members were treated to a $9,000 holiday dinner by an international

liquor company has resigned. Mecklenburg County ABC Board Chairman Parks Helms announced his resignation in a letter sent to county commis-

sioners chair Jennifer Roberts and county manager Harry Jones. Alcohol Law Enforcement agents last week issued a report alleging that local ABC board of-

ficials in Charlotte, international distiller Diageo, and the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North Carolina marketing director violated laws on giving and accepting items of value.

and the public, said Norma Houston, a commission member and former aide to Senate leader Marc Basnight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even small improvements could have considerable impact because procurement involves virtually every unit of state government,â&#x20AC;? a commission document said. While the Department of Administration is the main purchasing agency in state government, some agencies have their own purchasing authority while others donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t participate in the state electronic procurement program, Houston said. Department Chief Operating Officer Kevin McLaughlin said the agency supported the recommendation and is already working toward setting efficiency benchmarks for purchasing. Jerry Fralick, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new chief information officer, told the panel he supported its recommendation to give him more authority over information technology officers in state agencies as a way to modernize computer systems.

Capt. Anthony Juliana of the Salvation Army chapter in Charleston, S.C., and Kiki Cooper, the chapterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development director, read letters on Wednesday from donors who gave money to the chapter after a check scam.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purchasing and informational technology systems could be consolidated and streamlined so the state can serve citizens more efficiently while saving millions of dollars, a budget reform panel told Gov. Beverly Perdue on Thursday. The recommendations were the first by the commission, which is similar to one that Perdue pledged during her 2008 campaign to create if elected as a way to locate waste and inefficiency in state government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not only looking for streamlining. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also looking for savings,â&#x20AC;? said Norris Tolson, cochairman of the Budget Reform and Accountability Commission, adding that the changes, if carried out, will make the state â&#x20AC;&#x153;a better place in which to do business.â&#x20AC;? The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s procurement operations generate billions of dollars of activity annually but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to track whether the state is buying at a good price and how quickly products are getting to state agencies

ear Abby: I am 27 and have been a vegetarian for five years. I am trying to develop a thick skin when it comes to people who question or make fun of my choice, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m tired of laughing and letting the comments â&#x20AC;&#x153;roll offâ&#x20AC;? my back. When my grandfather sits near me at a family event, he will analyze my plate, look at me in disgust and then tell me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carrots have feelings, too.â&#x20AC;? When I go to a wellknown sandwich shop, I order a basic and â&#x20AC;&#x153;boringâ&#x20AC;? sandwich, which I really enjoy. The sandwich makers give me funny looks and ask, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all?â&#x20AC;? or, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spending five bucks on THIS?â&#x20AC;? followed by laughter or a shake of their heads. One even asked me if I was crazy! I am tired of people questioning what I eat or what kind of sandwich I choose to spend my money on. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make comments or question those who eat meat. What is the best response to people who are so rude about my choices? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Herbivore By Choice In New York Dear Herb: Sorry, there is no one-size-fitsall snappy one-liner. But take comfort in the fact that a growing number of people are choosing to avoid meat and poultry not only for the ethical reasons, but also because they prefer to avoid the hormones and antibiotics used in the production of these food products.

When someone comments or questions you, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to consider ADVICE the source as well as Dear the intent Abby behind the â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; remarks. Your grandfather may be trying to be humorous â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or he may be showing concern because he comes from a generation that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn there can be benefits from a vegetarian diet. Because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting under your skin, rather than take the bait, sit next to some other relatives at family events. As to the employee at the sandwich shop â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the person may be trying to â&#x20AC;&#x153;sell you up.â&#x20AC;? After all, the more ingredients in your sandwich, the more expensive it will be. I completely agree that ridiculing a customer is not only bad manners but also bad for business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the next time it happens, do not hesitate to complain about it to the manager. Dear Abby: For the last three years I have been dating a woman who, 15 years ago, divorced an Army colonel after 20 years of marriage. She loved the prestige of being an officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife. There always seems to be a reason why she must mention her ex, no matter what the topic is. I finally told her it

seemed like she missed him. Now, instead of saying his name, she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we were in Germany, we did this ...â&#x20AC;? or, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we lived in Idaho we used to ...â&#x20AC;? No matter what I say, she never fails to find a way to tell a story about life with her ex. I am an Army vet and I cannot mention anything about the Army because if I do, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll one-up me with yet another war story about him. And when we are together in public, she never misses a chance to disclose that we do not live together, and she always speaks in the singular regarding her plans. Is her conduct an indication that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unhappy with me? If not, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Overshadowed in Salem, Ore. Dear Overshadowed: Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s see. First of all, this woman is surprisingly insensitive to your feelings. Second, when people feel the need to â&#x20AC;&#x153;one-upâ&#x20AC;? others, it usually stems from insecurity. Third, when a woman consistently points out that she and her companion of three years â&#x20AC;&#x153;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live togetherâ&#x20AC;? and speaks in the singular about her plans, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a strong indication that she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regard herself as part of a couple. 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.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; North Carolina environmentalists say the state missed former Gov. Jim Huntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenge to protect a million acres of land from development within a decade. Conservation groups on Thursday issued a report estimating the state got less than two-thirds of the way toward reaching the goal of preserving a million acres of open space by 2010. The report by the group Environment North Carolina said the state instead saw more than one million acres of natural land developed in the decade.

Many famous celebrities and civil rights activists lobbied for the day to become a National Holiday. Among these celebrities was musician Stevie Wonder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happy Birthdayâ&#x20AC;? was released by the singer to make the campaign better known to the public, since the original day was proposed to be Mr. Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday, January 15. Each year since, every third Monday in January we celebrate Martin Luther King Day to honor the late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on January 15, 1929. He was the son of Reverend Martin Luther King, Sr., and Alberta Williams King. He graduated from Boston University in 1955 with a Ph.D. in Theology and became the pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1953. He and his wife, Coretta Scott King, had four children. Dr. King began his non-violent, civil rights activism in 1955, when he led the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which began when Mrs. Rosa Parks refused to give her bus seat to a white man. He was also the leader of the famous March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, where he gave his famous â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Have a Dreamâ&#x20AC;? speech. Dr. King is also well-known for his written works, such as his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letter from Birmingham Jail,â&#x20AC;? written in 1963 after he was arrested at a non-violent protest. Martin Luther King, Jr., dedicated his life to working towards equality among all races. Dr. King won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, as well as the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the American Liberties Medallion in 1965. Dr. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee, while organizing a local march. The accused gunman is a man by the name of James Earl Ray, although there is still some speculation as to whether he was the true assassin.

Event highlights High Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;good luckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; T

his week, I tell my New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolutions. My No. 1 resolution probably is shared with many of you. I am determined to lose weight. Somehow my clothes are shrinking (those darn hot dryers!). Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to tell you my diet plan, but I will try to cut down on desserts and eat healthily (did I just write that)? Seriously I will try. I will exercise regularly. I love the elliptical trainer because it is nonimpact while providing a good cardiovascular exercise. I am past the point of appreciating or even believing the old â&#x20AC;&#x153;no pain...no gainâ&#x20AC;? adage. I also will work on the weight resistance machines. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the fat that I do have to â&#x20AC;&#x153;wiggle and jiggleâ&#x20AC;? every time I move. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give any more updates if I am succeeding but you can see for yourself when I see you â&#x20AC;&#x153;about town.â&#x20AC;? My second resolution is equally as hard. I want to make the most for every minute that I have in every day. Something tells me that I will need some guidance here. My friend Imogene Morris from Denton called me the other day and told me that every day she reads an inspirational quote to her students at Randolph Community College from HPU President Dr. Nido Qubeinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How to Get Anything You Want.â&#x20AC;? I have that book and it may just be the thing to do the trick. Now, I am not saying that making the most of every minute means that I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enjoy watching television, taking a nap or just daydreaming. All of these (non) activities can be enjoyed and embraced and I intend to embrace every minute of every day. It was the first fundraiser of the New Year but also the last celebration ringing in the New Year. It was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good Night and Good Luckâ&#x20AC;? night for the High Point Historical Society as they kicked off the New

Year at Mamma Miaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant. Before I even stepped inside the door, I already knew that this event was a grand success. There was barely a parking space to be found. As soon as I entered, the mood was very festive as I first was greeted by Edith Brady, executive director of the High Point Museum, ABOUT who was TOWN talking with Kem Ellis, Mary director of Bogest the High â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; Point Public Library. As you may remember, the Museum is now part of the High Point city government and coupled with the library under Ellisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; jurisdiction. Brady is in for a very busy 2010. In addition to her role as executive director of the Museum, she is a new mother to Madeline who was born on May 15. That is not all. Brady is also serving as the president of High Point Junior League this year. Good luck in 2010, Edith! Next. I had to do a double-take as I thought I had spotted the West Coast Slane of those fabulous jewelry designers Landon Slane (New York) & Heath Slane (Los Angeles) who are the creators of the internationally acclaimed Slane & Slane Jewelry. It was indeed Heath Slane who extended her Christmas stay with her parents Jack and Marsha Slane to spend time in her hometown. In addition to cheering on both the HPU menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team, Heath spent time with her good friend and High Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pride, tenor Tony Griffey, who is now in Perth, Australia, where it is the middle of summer. I â&#x20AC;&#x153;thinkâ&#x20AC;? he will be performing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peter Grimesâ&#x20AC;? but I â&#x20AC;&#x153;knowâ&#x20AC;? that he will not be eating the Aussie delicacy of kangaroo.

Although our own tenor was on his way to Aussieland, the evening had the Italian flair by the Piedmont Opera. Hurray to the Piedmont Opera as they were one of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;grandissimoâ&#x20AC;? sponsors for our High Point event along with Mamma Miaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant, Tomlinson/ Erwin-Lambeth Inc. The other grandissimo sponsor is a name that has been appearing frequently in this column. Pat Plaxico undoubtedly was responsible for the participation of the Piedmont Opera. Guests were treated to arias from the Piedmont Operaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s April performance of Turandot at the Stevens Center in Winston-Salem. I think Plaxico also was involved in the decoration for the event and many of those who attended including Dr. James Plowden, noted oncologist who retired from Emerywood Hemotology/ Oncology and now spends most of his time in Blowing Rock. I applaud the Piedmont Opera and executive director Frank Dickersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued enthusiasm and passion outreaching to our High Point Community. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;grandeâ&#x20AC;? sponsors of the Sunday evening included Jack and Marsha Slane, Carolyn Swanner Wilson and Carol Young. I was delighted to be invited by Young, who as you know has a deep passion for the preservation of High Point through both the High Point Historical Society and her role as a Realtor in High Point. Do you remember when one of High Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jewels, now J.H. Adams Inn was in ruin? Preservationist Young would not let that happen and now the JH Adams Inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Young serves as a past chair of the High Point Museum and her daughter, Mary Powell DeLille, also sits on the board of directors and used her artistic talent to create some of the centerpieces for the event.

She recalled, when she was a little girl, how she loved to go to the Museum at Christmastime and enjoy all of the yuletide activities of yore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a real tradition for us,â&#x20AC;? added Young. There were some interesting items for the raffle. Bert Wood, Carolyn Wilson and Anna Troutman offered to make an Italian dinner for 12. Dwain and Jane Skeen offered a dinner for six at their home and the Piedmont Opera offered two tickets to Turandot with a set of opera glasses. Congratulations to Jo Williamson and Terry Aiken, who served as co-chairman of this successful culinary and cultural event. As Aiken looked around the room he noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is so much energy in this room!â&#x20AC;? That energy was bustling with support for the High Point Historical Society and its museum. The High Point Museum, including the Historical Park with reenactments, is still one of the best deals around. Admission is free!

The High Point Museum is the primary educator of High Point history and offered school and group tours in addition to their programs, preservation efforts and exhibits. This is our Museum. I just

GARFIELD

Childhood disease can affect heart arteries

ear Dr. Donohue: My granddaughter, who is 5 years old, just came out of the hospital after six days on an IV. She was treated for Kawasaki disease with immune globulin. Her temperature was 104 to 105 F for many days. She had a rash on her neck, and her eyes were oozing and crusted. She is better now. Please explain Kawasaki disease. – B.J.

BLONDIE

Kawasaki disease is a newcomer to the encyclopedia of illnesses. Dr. Tomisaku Kawasaki, a Japanese pediatrician, was the first to recognize and describe it, in 1967. It took four or five more years before doctors throughout the world learned about it and began diagnosing it. It happens mostly to children 5 years old and younger. Arteries are inflamed. Signs and symptoms include a red mouth and throat, a strawberrylooking tongue, dry lips, red eyes, high fever, a blotchy red rash, swollen hands and feet with red palms and soles, and large lymph nodes, especially those in the neck. For more than 40 years, doctors have looked for an infectious germ as the cause of this illness, but to date, the search has been unsuccessful. One of its most serious complications has to do with the heart. Half of affected children develop heart inflammation. And some of them come down with heart-artery aneurysms, tiny balloonlike protrusions of the heart arteries that are quite fragile.

Intravenous infusions of gamma globulin – IVIG – along with aspirin HEALTH greatly reduce the Dr. Paul chances of Donohue aneurysm ■■■ formation. An echocardiogram – a soundwave picture of the heart – detects the aneurysms. A second echocardiogram is taken three to six weeks after the illness has resolved in order to be certain that no aneurysms have developed. Your granddaughter sounds as though she has made a full recovery. Dear Dr. Donohue: My granddaughter, who is 25, found a lump in both sides of her groin. Her blood work was fine and she felt good, but the doctor didn’t know what the lumps were. She was referred to an infectious disease doctor and, in the meantime, was put on antibiotics. In three weeks, the lumps disappeared, and she canceled the specialist appointment. What do you think this was? – M.C. Probably, those lumps were swollen lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are filters that remove germs and foreign matter from the body. When they’re actively dealing with germs, they enlarge. Groin lymph nodes are frequently big because the feet and legs are places where germs gain ready

entrance into the body. As a general rule, nodes that are greater than 1 cm in diameter (0.4 inch) and remain that size for more than one month have to be investigated further. Autoimmune diseases, cancers, inflammations and some medicines, in addition to infections, are the principal causes of node enlargement. If a cause can’t be found for a persistently enlarged node, removal of the node for microscopic examination usually reveals the cause. Dear Dr. Donohue: I read your article on chronic cough. Several years ago, I developed such a cough. In the ensuing eight years, I was examined by nine doctors. None found a cause or could provide relief. I was diagnosed and treated for asthma. The local newspaper had an article about a doctor looking for asthmatic patients to take part in a study. I volunteered. After taking my history and having a breathing test, I was introduced to the doctor, who said, “You are not asthmatic.” This doctor suggested an immediate CT scan of my lungs. The scan showed a substernal goiter. It was removed. No more cough. – G.M. After eight years of a cough that didn’t respond to treatment, the unusual causes of cough have to be considered. A substernal (under the breastbone) goiter (thyroid gland enlargement) presses on the breathing tubes to bring on a cough. I’m glad your condition was found.

Cadmium warnings send parents to search toy boxes THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Kathy Sanders waited until her 4year-old daughter, Emma, was distracted with a video game Thursday. Then she made her move. With the excuse that she needed to collect the laundry, Sanders sneaked upstairs and scooped up the toy jewelry from the Disney princess set Emma had gotten for

Christmas. Then she tossed it in the trash. There have been lead scares, baby bottle scares and Christmas toy scares. And now, Sanders and other parents have something else to worry about: cadmium, which the nation’s product-safety chief warned this week could be present in cheap jewelry.

Jewish film festival set for annual screening BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

REENSBORO – As film festivals go, the Triad Jewish Film Festival obviously has its own unique niche, but that doesn’t mean the festival doesn’t have widespread appeal. “All of the movies have a Jewish theme to them, of course,” explains Rachel Wolf, director of outreach and education for the Greensboro Jewish Federation, which presents the annual festival. “But we try to pick films that will not only highlight the Jewish culture for the Jewish community of Greensboro and High Point, but also to teach the rest of the community a little bit about our culture. Our purpose is the three E’s – to enlighten, to educate and to entertain.” Wolf estimates about 40 percent of festivalgoers are not Jewish. “In 2001 (the festival’s inaugural year), it was a much more grassroots festival and the majority of people coming were Jewish, but now we’ve got a following in the general community that we’re really proud of,” she says. “A lot of the stories are just stories about humanity and how people react and treat one another, and I think that speaks to everyone.” Of the six movies showing during this year’s festival, the two generating the most buzz are “Seven Minutes in Heaven” and “A Matter of Size.” “Seven Minutes in Heaven”

When she begins to see ghosts of the other victims, she learns she was clinically dead for seven minutes and must try to make sense of what happened to her during those seven minutes. The Israeli film is in Hebrew, with English subtitles. “We always try to have films that provoke discussion and that are relevant to what’s going on in the

world today, and we think this will be one of those films,” Wolf says. By contrast, “A Matter of Size” is strictly comedy. Also in Hebrew (with subtitles), the movie tells the story of Herzl, a depressed, overweight man whose life is turned around when he discovers the sport of sumo wrestling. The other movies are: • “Letters for Jenny,” about a teenage girl whose terminally ill mother wrote her a series of letters before her death. • “The Debt,” the story of a beloved author who must decide if she can be a cold-blooded hit woman to cover up a mistake she made 35 years earlier. • “Where I Stand: The Hank Greenspun Story,” based on the autobiography of the controversial newspaperman, who was founding publisher of the Las Vegas Sun. • “The Little Traitor,” the story of a 12-year-old boy in 1947 Pakistan who is torn between his friendship with a British soldier and his passion for the cause of Israel, which has been under British occupation. Wolf, who served on the festival’s film selection committee, says you need not be Jewish to appreciate the six movies chosen. “In this day and age, people are very curious about one another and want to get to know our neighbors and learn about other religions we may not know much about,” she says. “We hope this festival will be a vehicle for that.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

he Triad may have another “American Idol” on its hands. Sixteen-year-old Noel Reese of Sophia, a student at Southwestern Randolph High School, received a coveted “golden ticket” on Wednesday night’s episode of “American Idol,” meaning she has advanced to Hollywood for the next round of competition. Reese had only about 15 seconds of air time on the nationally televised Fox show Wednesday night, but she clearly wowed the judges with her powerful rendition of Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing.” Judges Randy Jackson, Simon

Cowell and Kara DioGuardi – and guest judge Mary J. Blige – gave Reese’s audition an enthusiastic thumbs-up, and Jackson shouted Reese “Welcome to Hollywood!” The next scene showed Reese running out of the audition room with her “golden ticket” and celebrating with family members. Reese is one of 55 contestants who have received “golden tickets” so far. In an interview posted on the show’s official Web site, Reese said she has long dreamed of singing professionally, and she hopes “American Idol” will

help her reach that goal. “I’ve been watching the show ever since it started, so I just decided to come and give it a shot, so I can try and become what I’ve always wanted to become,” she said. Reese said she began singing around age 7, when she sang and acted in a play featuring Rodgers & Hammerstein music. She also plays the piano – she’s self-taught – and can play the guitar “a little.” Reese’s audition was filmed in Atlanta last year, and she’s currently in Hollywood for the next phase of competition. The next episode of “American Idol” will air at 8 p.m. Tuesday. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Friday, Jan. 15, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Ernie Reyes Jr., 38; Chad Lowe, 42; Andrea Martin, 63; Margaret O’Brien, 73 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Don’t limit what you want to do because of the restrictions others have tried to place on you or your plans. Instead, find a unique way around any interference you face. Your experience with a past partner will come in handy now. Sometimes looking back can be exactly what is needed to move forward. Your numbers are 9, 16, 23, 26, 33, 41, 49 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You cannot let setbacks stand in the way of your goals. Forward moves are the only route that will lead to better times. Let your intuition guide you and your strong independence help you overcome any pitfalls you’ve encountered. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can raise your profile, improve your status or even make a professional change that will bring you greater recognition and higher income. Focus on work and don’t let location deter you from taking on a challenge that excites you. ★★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Keep moving in a forward direction. Someone may not like your choices, but if you focus on what’s ahead instead of what’s behind, you can outmaneuver anyone trying to hold you back. Impulsive moves will backfire. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): A burden that you have been dealing with can be lifted if you take proper action. A change will lessen your stress and give you some hope for the future. An interesting proposition will work out better than expected. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Emotional matters will be raised and should probably be dealt with quickly. Money may be behind the problem and some sort of budget will help the situation immensely. Consider a change in your vocation if it helps you earn more. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Get out and do things you enjoy. A serious change at home will help you to move forward with greater freedom. Love is in the stars and plans to do something romantic during the evening hours will pay off. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You can make some important decisions and changes that will make your life so much better. Be spontaneous. Social activities will encourage you to go ahead with some of your own plans. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The more interaction you have with others, the more confidence you will gain. You can’t waste your time getting angry over past mistakes when the future is where you should be focusing. A change is overdue. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Do things right the first time or someone will be quick to criticize you. Connecting with people from your past will help you make some vital decisions about your future and where you want to live and work. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Follow your heart and don’t limit what you can do. You have lots to consider about your past, present and future. Base decisions on what satisfies your needs. Change should be a positive adventure. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t spend money you don’t have. You will be asked to pay back an old debt or receive an unexpected expense. There are a lot of secrets being kept from you. A love connection with someone from your past can help to reunite you with a lot of people you have missed. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Make amends for something you have done in the past and you will be able to move forward without feeling bad. Opening up about the way you feel will allow others to respond as well, allowing for new possibilities. ★★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

The afternoon Chicago game had ended, and Unlucky Louie announced that he was going home to watch a basketball game on ESPN. “ESPN,” Cy the Cynic said solemnly. “Isn’t that the ability to sense how sporting events will turn out?” “You could have used some prescience on that last deal,” Louie observed. Louie and Cy were North-South, and Cy had played four hearts. When West led the nine of diamonds, the Cynic took the ace and led a spade. West played low with no hint of concern, and Cy finessed with dummy’s jack. After that, it required no clairvoyance to foresee the result: The defense got two spades, a trump and two diamonds for down two.

SHRUG “Can’t guess ’em all right,” Cy shrugged. Cy didn’t need ESP to succeed. He knows from the opening lead that East, who didn’t open the bidding, has the K-Q of diamonds, and Cy must assume East has the king of trumps. So Cy can’t play East for the ace of spades. Cy should lead a spade to

the king, giving himself a chance for the contract.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A 9 8 6 2 H 7 3 D 9 6 4 C Q 10 5. Your partner opens one heart, you respond one spade and he bids two clubs. What do you say? ANSWER: This case is close. Since your partner didn’t jump at his second turn, game is possible but most unlikely. A return to two hearts would be reasonable, especially at matchpoint duplicate scoring. At other forms of scoring, I’d pass. To bid again would give partner a chance to get overboard. East dealer N-S 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.

Tobogganing bobbies scolded for riot-shield rides LONDON (AP) – Some British bobbies have been reprimanded after they used their riot shields as makeshift sleds during the country’s cold snap. A passer-by filmed the bobbies goofing around on a snowy hill in Oxford and posted the clip on YouTube. It shows a po-

liceman barreling downhill while another shouts, “Whatever happens, keep smiling!” Rick Latham, who filmed the scene on Tuesday, said he was pleasantly surprised by the officers’ actions. He thought they were going to scold him for trying to slide down the hill in a kayak.

Thames Valley Police Superintendent Andrew Murray said Thursday he had told the officers “that tobogganing on duty, on police equipment and at taxpayers’ expense is a very bad idea.” But he added that snow brings “out the child in all of us.”

Panther men falter late BY EVAN LEPLER SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

CHARLESTON, S.C. – Five wins in a row sent the High Point University men to Charleston Southern feeling confident, but the second half against the Buccaneers served as a reminder that conference road victories are elusive. With the top of the Big South standings in sight, High Point let a road victory slip through its fingers, falling 73-69 to Charleston Southern Thursday night in the CSU Fieldhouse. Jeremy Sexton and Kelvin Martin each scored 20 for the Bucs, who trailed by as many as 14 in the first half but resiliently fought back. A 12-2 run late in the

Updated Big South Conference men’s and women’s standings. 2D first stanza helped make it a five point game at intermission (4035). Then, with 5:59 remaining in the game, Charleston Southern assumed its first lead since the early stages when Jo’el Lamb sunk a pair of free throws to make it 58-57. High Point never led again as the diminutive 5-foot-11 junior point guard Jamarco Warren helped close the door for the Buccaneers, scoring all 12 of his points in the second half. “Kelvin (Martin) and I got on

the team in the locker room,” said Warren. “Kelvin kept us alive in the first half.” After a dazzling offensive surge to open the game, in which the Panthers collected 10 assists on their first 11 baskets en route to a 30-16 lead, High Point’s attack waned as the evening progressed. Following 13 assists in the first half, the Panthers garnered just four in the second, while turning it over 10 times. “There wasn’t a lot of movement and we forced up bad shots,” said Panthers coach Scott Cherry. “It was uncharacteristic of this team… We came a little bit unraveled at the end.” Eugene Harris scored 19 to pace the Panthers offensively, but High

Point only shot 9-for-17 from the free-throw line and finished the evening with 20 total turnovers. A victory would have sent High Point into a virtual tie for first place in the Big South since Radford beat Coastal Carolina last night; instead, the Panthers settle in a third-place tie with Liberty at 4-2. With little time to recover from this setback, a matchup with the first-place Chanticleers looms Saturday afternoon. “We gotta be upset,” Cherry said,” but we’ve got to get refocused. We’re going to play a really good basketball team (on Saturday). We’re still right there in the hunt, but we need to regroup and go up the road and play a great basketball game.”

Skipper sails away from ECU TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – Skip Holtz is the new football coach at South Florida, taking over a program recovering from a scandal that led to the firing of Jim Leavitt. The 45-year-old Holtz led East Carolina to the past two Conference USA championships. He inherits a talented but inconsistent team that’s tasted the national limelight while also falling short of a goal of winning the Big East. Holtz informed his old team of his decision during a meeting with players Thursday in Greenville. USF will introduce him as the second coach in the Bulls’ 13-year history today. AOL FanHouse was first to report the hiring. Holtz replaces Leavitt, fired last week after a school investigation concluded he grabbed a player by the throat, slapped him in the face, then lied about it. Holtz was 38-27 in five seasons with East Carolina, including wins in the past two C-USA title games and high-profile victories against Virginia Tech and West Virginia in 2008. Holtz was under contract through the 2013 season and had only a $100,000 buyout. He made $605,000 in base salary this year, though that figure rose to nearly $900,000 due to several incentives. The son of former Notre Dame and South Carolina coach Lou Holtz has been an annual fixture on the list of top candidates for coaching vacancies. He flirted with Cincinnati and Syracuse in recent years, but insisted he wasn’t looking to leave the program he rebuilt from its miserable state earlier this decade. ECU had lost 22 of 25 games – 19 by double-digit margins and seven by at least 33 points – when he arrived after the 2004 season. The Pirates steadily rose from there, reaching a bowl game in his second season and winning one the following year. The consecutive league titles were the first conference crowns for the program since 1976, sending the Pirates to the Liberty Bowl each time. East Carolina was an independent from 1977-96 before joining C-USA. South Florida has been one of the

Holtz announced Thursday that he is leaving Greenville to take over as head coach at South Florida. nation’s fastest rising programs over the past decade. Leavitt was hired in December 1995, launched the Bulls from scratch a little less than two years later, and compiled a 95-57 record in 13 seasons. USF was ranked as high as No. 2 in 2007 before struggling in league play and tumbling out of the Top 25. Leavitt, who just completed the second season of a seven-year, $12.6 million contract, was dismissed following an investigation into an accusation that he grabbed sophomore walk-on Joel Miller and struck him

during halftime of a game against Louisville on Nov. 21. USF athletic director Doug Woolard contacted Holtz last weekend and met with him Tuesday while Holtz was in Orlando for the American Football Coaches Association convention. Holtz said at the time the South Florida opening was appealing for several reasons, including an opportunity to work in a BCS conference. The coach’s parents reside in Orlando, and his wife is from nearby Port Charlotte.

CHARLOTTE (AP) – As John Fox prepares for perhaps his final season with the Carolina Panthers, he’s making changes to his coaching staff. He started Thursday by firing one of his former players. Special teams coach Danny Crossman was dismissed after Carolina ranked near the bottom of the NFL in several key categories in 2009. Hampered by having numerous young, inexperienced players because of the large salary-cap figure of defensive end Julius Peppers, the Panthers ranked 31st out of 32 teams in kickoff return average, 30th in kickoff coverage and 29th in punt coverage. The Panthers also failed to develop a consistent return man. Crossman had been with the Panthers since 2003 and was promoted to special teams coach in 2005. Crossman, who first met Fox when he was a fullback in college at Pittsburgh in the 1980s when Fox was an assistant coach there, oversaw a unit that struggled for the past few seasons. “This was an extremely hard decision and we wish Danny the very best,” general manager Marty Hurney said in a statement. The team did not announce a replacement as Fox and Hurney prepare for next season despite Fox’s uncertainty. Owner Jerry Richardson has decided not to extend Fox’s contract past the 2010 season. ESPN reported Sunday that Fox would be allowed to void his deal if he found another job, but there are no head coach openings besides Buffalo. Fox said on his final radio show of the season last week that he expected to be back next season.

HIT AND RUN

aturday night’s Ravens-Colts playoff game provides a rare opportunity for two of the NFL’s all-time greats to share the postseason stage. Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning and Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis have each been the face of their respective franchises for more than a decade. Both future Hall of Famers rank among the best to play their positions, and their career highlights are strikingly similar: •Manning, drafted No. 1 overall in 1998, is

a 10-time Pro Bowler and eight-time Associated Press All-Pro selection (four as a firstteamer). He is the only four-time winner of the AP NFL MVP award. He was voted MVP of Super Bowl XLI and holds numerous Colts and NFL passing records. •Lewis, a first-round pick in 1996, has been selected for 11 Pro Bowls and is an eight-time AP All-Pro (seven as a first-teamer). He was voted AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2000 and 2003 and became just the second linebacker to earn Super Bowl MVP honors

when he took that award in Super Bowl XXXV. Who knows how many more times we’ll see either superstar advance this deep into the playoffs? The odds of both sharing the field in the same postseason game again are quite slim. This figures to be a great game and I expect two of the league’s all-time greats will have a huge say in the final outcome.

WHO’S NEWS

Braves outfielder Melky Cabrera has agreed to a $3.1 million, one-year contract with his new team to avoid arbitration. Cabrera, who made $1,425,000 last season with the New York Yankees, was acquired by Atlanta in a five-player deal that sent 15-game winner Javier Vazquez to the World Series champions. Cabrera was the Yankees’ starting center fielder most of the last three seasons, hitting .274 with 13 homers and 68 RBIs in 2009. Reliever Peter Moylan is the only arbitrationeligible player still unsigned by the Braves. Also Thursday, a person familiar with Josh Johnson’s contract negotiations says the Florida Marlins ace has agreed to a $39 million, four-year deal. The deal was reached Thursday, only two days after the perennially frugal franchise announced an agreement with the players’ union to increase spending. The only Marlins player with a comparable contract is shortstop Hanley Ramirez.

UT rumors swirl around Duke coach

Detroit Red Wings Pavel Datsyuk (left) and Henrik Zetterberg (right) battle with the Carolina Hurricanes’ Eric Staal in the second period of Thursday night’s game in Detroit. The Red Wings scored a late goal to ice the Hurricanes, 3-1.

’Canes’ streak snapped DETROIT (AP) – Drew Miller had a goal and an assist, and Jimmy Howard made 37 saves to help the Detroit Red Wings beat the Carolina Hurricanes 3-1 on Thursday night. Nicklas Lidstrom and Henrik Zetterberg also scored, and Valtteri Filppula had two assists for the Red Wings. Tom Kostopoulos scored for Carolina, which had its three-game winning streak snapped. Cam Ward stopped 32 shots. Lidstrom scored his first goal since Oct. 8 to give Detroit a 1-0 lead with 8:30 left in the first period. It was a powerplay effort as Lidstrom scored on a slap shot from the just inside the blue line in the middle of the ice. His second goal broke a 42-game scoring drought, the second longest of Lidstrom’s career. Miller’s power-play goal 1:34 into the second period made it 2-0. He put in a

loose puck from the front of the net for his fifth goal. Kostopoulos put Carolina on the board 7:17 into the third period when he knocked in the rebound of Brandon Sutter’s long shot. Zetterberg made it 3-1 with 5:20 left when he tipped in Todd Bertuzzi’s pass for his 11th goal.

NOTES Carolina G Manny Legace, D Aaron Ward and LW Ray Whitney are all former Red Wings. ... Hurricanes’ D Tim Gleason is from the Detroit suburb of Clawson and RW Sergei Samsonov played with the now-defunct Detroit Vipers of the old International Hockey League. ... Carolina D Joni Pitkonen limped off the ice and went to the locker room with 8:36 left after being hit with a shot.

Aussie Open pairs Venus, Serena MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) – There won’t be on all-Williams women’s singles final at the Australian Open this year. Serena and Venus Williams were placed into the same top half of the draw. Justine Henin, playing in her first Grand Slam tournament in nearly two years, will face fellow Belgian Kirsten Flipkens in the first round, and could play Olympic champ Elena Dementieva in the second.

Henin, unseeded, could also meet fellow comeback player and U.S. Open champion Kim Clijsters in the quarterfinals. One of the Williams sisters could face Henin or Clijsters, who are in the bottom half of the draw, in the final. Serena Williams, the defending champion and No. 1 seed, will take on Urszula Radwanska of Poland in the first round. Top-seeded Roger Federer will play Igor An-

dreev of Russia in the first round, but the best news for the Swiss star was who he couldn’t meet until the final on Jan. 31. No. 2 and defending champion Rafael Nadal, No. 4 Juan Martin del Potro, No. 5 Andy Murray and No. 7 Andy Roddick were all placed in the other half of the draw. Federer could meet No. 6 Nikolay Davydenko, who beat him last week at Doha, in the quarters.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Duke coach and former Tennessee assistant David Cutcliffe may be a target in the Volunteers’ search for a new head coach. Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton has not commented publicly on who his candidates are to replace Lane Kiffin, who abruptly resigned Tuesday night to coach Southern California. But Duke spokesman Art Chase called reports of a deal between Cutcliffe and Tennessee inaccurate. Cutcliffe twice served on Tennessee’s staff and spent eight years as the Vols’ offensive coordinator under former coach Phillip Fulmer. In between his stints in Knoxville, Cutcliffe coached at Mississippi for six seasons and has developed quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Eli Manning during his career. Air Force coach Troy Calhoun released a statement Thursday saying he was looking forward to coaching the Falcons again in 2010, ending specula-

tion that he was a candidate. “We are diligently recruiting and working with our team to prepare for the upcoming season,” Calhoun said in the statement. “We look forward to coaching and being a part of the Air Force Academy team both on and off the field in 2010.” Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp and TCU coach Gary Patterson have both said they have not been contacted by Tennessee. Another possible candidate, East Carolina coach Skip Holtz, accepted the head coaching job at South Florida on Thursday. Interim Tennessee coach Kippy Brown said he was a candidate for the job, and Louisiana Tech coach Derek Dooley and Connecticut coach Randy Edsall could be in the mix. Hamilton said Wednesday he wanted a new coach in place before coaches could begin live recruiting again on Sunday. He also said he didn’t mind taking an extra day if it meant bringing in the right coach.

Garcon hears from family in Haiti; others still wait INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Indianapolis Colts receiver Pierre Garcon was contacted by some family members in Haiti and received some good news. U.S. national soccer team member Jozy Altidore was not so fortunate and planning to travel to Haiti to search for his relatives. And two days after the island nation was devastated by an earthquake, donations to help relief efforts were flowing from around the sports world. Garcon said Thursday he got calls earlier in the day from relatives, who let him know they had survived the earthquake that devastated Haiti. Garcon said his mother received a call from a relative Wednesday night. “I heard from some family, got some good information,” he said. “We’re still looking for the rest of them.” Garcon attended high school in Florida, but his parents emigrated to the U.S. from Haiti, and most of his relatives still live there. Garcon, visibly drained after Thursday’s practice, said he’s thankful for the concern people have shown for the nation. “It’s nice to get support from a lot of people,” he said. “I really appreciate it. We need a lot more.” Garcon is expected to play in Saturday’s playoff game against Baltimore, but he’s struggling to focus. “You’ve got to deal with it,” Garcon said. “It’s kind of tough, but there’s not much you can do about it.” Altidore has been unable to get through to his relatives in Haiti and is already preparing to travel to the devastated country. Altidore, whose parents moved to the U.S. from Haiti 35 years ago, has more than a dozen family members – uncles, aunts, nephews and nieces – unaccounted for. With phone lines down and Internet

connections wiped out, traveling there seems the only option. “We are just praying – that is all we can do right now because communicating with Haiti is very difficult,” the 20-year-old Altidore said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “There is not much (news) in terms of the status of my family. We have been constantly tracking the Red Cross Web site but we still can’t get through to anybody there. We know as much as everybody else.” Altidore plays in England for Premier League club Hull. “I want to go now if I’m able to make the trip over and help in any way,” he said. “My mother and father are also looking into going, but I’m also concerned for their safety there.” Altidore, who is expected to be on the U.S. squad at the World Cup in South Africa in June, was assured Thursday by Hull manager Phil Brown that he will be given compassionate leave. In Stillwater, Oklahoma State safety Lucien Antoine has an uncle with six children in the Haitian capital of Portau-Prince, and all are missing. Other members of his family in Cap-Haitien, several hours away, survived the disaster. “Right now, when you look at the pictures, you can’t really tell where the places are at,” Antoine told reporters. Philadelphia 76ers center Samuel Dalembert, who said Wednesday he had heard from his father in Haiti but still not been in contact with other family, announced he is making a $100,000 donation to the recovery efforts. Major League Baseball pledged $1 million to help victims of the earthquake. Commissioner Bud Selig said in a news release that the contribution is being made on behalf of the league and its 30 teams.

Clemson dream a UNC nightmare

Conf ident Bobcats surging CHARLOTTE (AP) – When this city was awarded an expansion team two years after the Hornets bolted town, there was little excitement. The losses outnumbered only the empty seats. Not even Michael Jordan becoming a partowner created buzz. Six years in, the Bobcats have never been to the playoffs and the crowds are still thin. But there are things you can no longer say – they’re not boring and certainly no pushover. With a Hall of Fame coach, a newly acquired scorer with much-needed swagger and an emerging player on the cusp of being an All-Star, the Larry Brown-led Bobcats are acting and looking like a legitimate playoff contender. Consider their accomplishments since the calendar flipped to 2010: victories at Cleveland and Miami while running their home record to 14-4. It’s included Gerald Wallace’s acrobatic, game-winning putback at the buzzer and Stephen Jackson’s franchise-best 43-point performance. “Everything is starting to come together,” point guard Raymond Felton said Thursday. After remaking the roster to Brown’s liking with five trades involving 15 players over the past 14 months, the versatile Bobcats (17-19) sit in seventh place in the East entering today’s home game against San Antonio. “We have good people. There’s no jealousy here,” said Brown, in the second year of his record ninth NBA head coaching job. “Stephen is an unusual personality, but he’s a great teammate and he’s a good guy.” Jackson’s acquisition on Nov. 16 from Golden

Wallace and car owner Roger Penske are to be inducted into the National Motorsports Press Association’s Hall of Fame in ceremonies Saturday night in Concord. The group’s driver of the year will be announced Sunday. ... The annual Charlotte Motor Speedway media tour runs from Monday to Thursday. ... Phoenix Raceway is increasing its Cup race in April from 312 to 375 miles. Speedway officials said the change was made to keep the same amount of the Saturday race at night. ... Michael Waltrip will be among those inducted into the Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame this year.

The rest of the NBA has taken it on the chin lately from the Charlotte Bobcats, who suddenly are performing like a playoff contender. In action Tuesday night, forward Gerald Wallace (left) shoots over Carl Landry during the Bobcats’ 102-94 victory. State was the riskiest move Jordan has signed off on since becoming the team’s managing partner in 2006. A superior talent, Jackson had been feuding with Warriors coach Don Nelson. His past includes his role in the infamous brawl in Auburn Hills, Mich., and being accused of firing a gun into the air outside a strip club. He’s been a model teammate so far in Charlotte, giving the Bobcats multiple scoring options. “Gerald Wallace needed another guy to take some of the pressure off him,” Jackson said. “I fit in good in that role. I did it for Baron Davis (at Golden State). I made it easy because I’m easy to get along with. I know what it takes to be a great teammate.” It’s clear Jackson and Wallace have clicked. When not constantly needling each other – Wallace jumped onto Jackson’s back as he was doing

an interview Thursday – they’re giving opposing teams fits. Wallace was averaging 13.7 points before Jackson arrived and 19.3 points since. Despite being just 6-foot-7, Wallace is fourth in the NBA in rebounding at 11.5 per game and a candidate for his first AllStar game. “I always knew he played hard,” Jackson said. “But just to see the other aspects of his game. How great of a rebounder he is. How well of a teammate and a leader he is. How he plays hurt. He’s similar to me a lot.” Jackson’s endless confidence was on display Tuesday when he hit 15 of 22 shots and 10 of 11 free throws in a comeback win over Houston. He’s averaging 21.1 points in 27 games with Charlotte. “He opens things up for everybody,” Brown said. “He’s a willing passer and a terrific passer. So

if you double him and you’re open he’ll get you the ball. And he’s a much better defender than you can imagine.” The Bobcats still have two West Coast trips and 14 sets of back-to-back games – a playoff berth is far from guaranteed. For owner Bob Johnson, who has been losing millions and looking to perhaps sell the team, a playoff appearance would be a much-needed boost. Charlotte hasn’t hosted a postseason game since the Hornets’ last season here in 2002. “It’ll be bigger to guys like Gerald who’s been here for six years. It’ll be bigger for Coach Brown. It’d be good for the organization, for Mr. Johnson and Michael Jordan to get the playoffs, finally,” Jackson said. “And to the city, also. That’s what they’ve been waiting for. Hopefully, we can bring that here.”

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) – Clemson’s Demontez Stitt had a dream so clear and vivid the night before facing No. 12 North Carolina, he had to call someone as soon as he could. “I woke up this morning, called my mom, texted a couple of people,” Stitt said. “I told them that I had a dream where I had a good game against the Tar Heels, we won by a lot and everybody stormed the court.” “You know what happened,” Stitt said with a smile. Stitt had 20 points, Trevor Booker scored 21 and the 24th-ranked Tigers (14-3, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) broke a 10-game losing streak to North Carolina with an 83-64 victory late Wednesday night. Besides their first loss to Clemson since 2004, this was the Tar Heels (125, 1-1) most lopsided ACC loss since a 96-56 defeat to Maryland in 2003. North Carolina starters combined for just 12 field goals. Its two leading scorers, Deon Thompson and Ed Davis, managed a combined eight points – more than 20 fewer than they averaged coming in – and the Tar Heels ended with 26 turnovers, matching the most committed in coach Roy Williams’ seven seasons. “I’m not feeling good about the job I’m doing right now,” Williams said. Clemson feels pretty good about its performance. The Tigers hadn’t beaten the Tar Heels in nearly six years, but used a first-half blitz to lead by 23 points and held on

against one of their toughest ACC opponents. North Carolina lost for the fifth time in six games away from the Smith Center. Clemson fans rushed the court as the buzzer sounded. And why not? It was only the fifth time in 16 years they’d seen the Tigers topple the Tar Heels. They’ll get to celebrate for a while, too, because Clemson won’t travel to Chapel Hill – where it’s 0-54. “I don’t look at things that way,” Tigers coach Oliver Purnell said. “It is a satisfying ACC win, but it’s so early. North Carolina came in thinking it solved some of its early-season problems. Injured starters Marcus Ginyard and Will Graves were back in the lineup after opening the ACC with a solid win over Virginia Tech on Sunday. Heck, Williams had ditched the sling that protected his injured left arm. But North Carolina played a ragged opening half with 15 turnovers, four of those coming in Clemson’s opening spurt and could not dig itself out of the hole. Tar Heel passes sailed high and wide. Players couldn’t finish normally easy plays and Clemson’s defensive pressure rattled North Carolina. At one point early in the second half, a frustrated Williams swapped out his starting lineup for five freshmen. None of it worked. “I’ve got to do everything better,” said Williams, who pointed to a lack of urgency on the defensive end and a lack of poise offensively.

Arenas arrested on fed gun charge WASHINGTON (AP) – Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas was charged Thursday with felony gun possession in connection with a Dec. 21 locker room confrontation with a teammate. Prosecutors charged Arenas with one count of carrying a pistol without a license, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison. The charges were filed in D.C. Superior Court in an “information,” a document that often signals a plea deal. Arenas’ lawyer and the team had no immediate comment. Arenas, who has been suspended indefinitely by the NBA pending the investigation, has said he kept multiple guns in his locker at the Verizon Center. The 28-year-old threetime All-Star said he wanted to keep them away from his children and didn’t know it was illegal.

He says he took them out of the locker on Dec. 21 in a “misguided effort to play a joke” on a teammate. League officials have said the locker-room incident stemmed from a card-game dispute between Arenas and teammate Javaris Crittenton on a plane trip back from the West Coast two days earlier. At least seven Wizards players and coach Flip Saunders have appeared before a grand jury or been questioned by authorities. Earlier Thursday, police searched for a gun at Crittenton’s Arlington, Va., apartment but did not seize any evidence, according to court documents. It’s unclear what role Crittenton played in the incident and whether he had a gun. He has kept a low profile and has said he did nothing wrong.

PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. (AP) – Baseball owners unanimously ratified a five-year contract with umpires Thursday, wrapping up a decade of labor peace in a sport once plagued by work stoppages. The deal, expected to be ratified by umpires on Monday, would remove a ban on umpires appearing in consecutive World Series, according to a person with knowledge of the

agreement. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because umpires had yet to vote. The agreement also would allow management to use video to evaluate umpires and establish new programs for early retirement, a person at the meeting said. That person spoke on condition of anonymity because owners didn’t reveal those details.

Judge freezes funds of Argentina bank NEW YORK (AP) — An American judge has frozen all property held in the U.S. by Argentina’s central bank, saying some or maybe all of that money rightfully belongs to corporations that are owed billions of dollars by that country’s government. U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Griesa signed the order Monday in New York. The court made the order public Wednesday. The amount of money involved still isn’t clear because lawyers in the case have yet to tally how much money the bank has deposited in the U.S., but the court has authorized the creditors to attach as much as $3.1 billion in Argentina’s assets.

HIGH POINT - Real estate agents aren’t the only ones who have been singing praises of the first-time homebuyer’s tax credit. From paint and wall covering stores to the home furnishings industry, other industry officials say it has extended some impact to their business as well. Jerry Epperson, a longtime furniture industry analyst, has seen a slight impact in the home fur-

advisory firm Mann, Armistead & Epperson Ltd. “Home prices aren’t going to stabilize when there are fewer homes available for sale. When they do stabilize, that will be a big plus and encourage home building.” Further signs of an impact in the home furnishings industry may be evident in Furniture Insights, published monthly by Ken Smith at Smith Leonard PLLC. According to the report’s latest survey, residential furniture orders for October were not less than the number of orders placed a year ago. The finding marks the first time since October 2007 that year-to-year orders did not decline. “I think that consumers, even though their total attitude is not that great yet, are trying to loosen up somewhat,”

Retail sales fall unexpectedly WASHINGTON (AP) — Retail sales unexpectedly fell in December, leaving 2009 with the biggest yearly drop on record and highlighting the formidable hurdles facing the economy as it struggles to recover from the deepest recession in seven decades. In another disappointing economic report, the number of newly laidoff workers requesting unemployment benefits rose more than expected last week as jobs remain scarce. Still, many economists, puzzled by the retail sales

decline that follows reports from retailers of brighter holidays, cautioned that the December figures don’t necessarily signal a big consumer pullback and could be a blip. Taking November and December figures together provides a picture of modestly positive spending, they said, but the monthly drop undercores how tentative the economic recovery remains, given all the headwinds facing consumers. “Consumer spending is growing very weakly, but the key thing is that

it’s growing,” said Scott Hoyt, senior director of consumer economics at Moody’s Economy.com. “The consumer is very weak. Confidence is exceptionally low.” He added he expects tepid sales growth into the summer. The Commerce Department said Thursday that retail sales declined 0.3 percent in December compared with November, much weaker than the 0.5 percent rise that economists had been expecting. Excluding autos, sales dropped by 0.2 percent, also weaker than the 0.3

percent rise analyst had forecast. For the year, sales fell 6.2 percent, the biggest decline on government records that go back to 1992. The only other year that annual sales fell was in 2008, when they slipped by 0.5 percent. The 0.3 percent decline in December was the first setback since September, when sales had fallen 2 percent. Sales posted strong gains of 1.2 percent in October and 1.8 percent in November, raising hopes that the consumer is starting to mount a comeback.

cial institutions on the brink of collapse. The president said Thursday his goal is not to punish banks, but rather to prevent them from a behavior of excess, including new employee bonuses he called “obscene.” In brief comments at the White House, Obama took a deeply populist tone. He said: “My commitment is to the taxpayer.” The president said big banks had shown irresponsibility, engaged in reckless risk for shortterm profits, and had gotten themselves into a crisis of their own making. Some firms would have to pay the fee even though many did not accept any taxpayer assistance.

Earnings boost stocks NEW YORK (AP) — The Dow Jones industrial average closed above 10,700 for the first time in 15 months on Thursday as investors bet that stronger results would revive a disappointing start to the corporate earnings season. The stock market’s advance was uneven, with technology stocks rising ahead of quarterly earnings from chip maker Intel Corp. and financials climbing before a profit report from JPMorgan Chase & Co. due Friday. Safe havens like utilities and consumer staples stocks fell. The Dow industrials rose 30 points, while broader indexes posted bigger advances.

The gains came after SAP, a major business software maker based in Germany, said its fourthquarter revenue fell less than forecast. That provided some reassurance that companies are becoming more willing to invest in technology. Investors are also watching closely to see whether companies can bolster their earnings with solid revenues instead of just continuing to cut costs. Anticipation that corporate earnings reports would turn around following a weak showing by aluminum maker Alcoa on Monday helped investors look past a mixed bag of economic news.

Intel’s revenue and earnings came in far ahead of analysts’ expectations after the closing bell. The government said businesses increased inventories by a largerthan-expected amount in November. The gain is a welcome sign for the economy and suggests that businesses are feeling more confident that sales will pick up. It was the second straight month that stockpiles rose after 13 months of declines. The positive news on inventories helped offset weak reports on retail sales and initial unemployment claims. The Commerce Department said business inventories rose by 0.4 percent in

Dave Stepherson, portfolio manager at Hardesty Capital Management in Baltimore, said the retail sales report was disappointing, but not terribly surprising because of uncertainty still surrounding the job market.

Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer reads over notes on Capitol Hill in Washington on Thursday prior to testifying before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission.

Meltdown probe turns to mortgage crisis banking practices that led to the worse financial crisis since the Depression. But he said fighting white-collar crime has become a top priority for him, and that more resources are being devoted to such cases. Holder testified at the second day of hearings by the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, a 10-member panel created by Congress to explore the causes of the 2008 financial meltdown. Commission Chairman Phil Angelides grilled Holder on a Sept. 4, 2004, warning from a top FBI of-

Oil nears $80 on rising equities NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices crawled up to near $80 a barrel Thursday as rising stock markets cheered crude investors ahead of fourth quarter corporate earnings reports. By midday, benchmark crude for February delivery fell 24 cents to $79.41 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Earlier in the session, the

Eurozone industrial output surges LONDON (AP) — Industrial production in the 16 countries that use the euro rose by a monthly rate of 1 percent in November, official figures showed Thursday ahead of the latest interest rate decision from the European Central Bank. The figure, published by EU statistics office Eurostat, was double market expectations and more than reversed the 0.3 percent decline reported in October, which itself was an improvement on the initial 0.6 percent estimate.

European Central Bank: Recovery to be uneven LONDON (AP) — European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet indicated interest rates in the 16-country euro area would not be rising soon amid an uneven economic recovery, and dismissed speculation that Greece might leave the euro over its budget crisis.

ficial about “an epidemic of mortgage fraud coursing across this country” and the dire crisis that could occur if it were left unchecked. That was four years before the financial meltdown on Wall Street that led to unprecedented government bailouts of some of the nation’s largest banks and financial institutions. Angelides asked Holder to evaluate what steps were taken after the 2004 FBI warning. “What warnings were sent up the line?” Angelides asked. Holder said he was not familiar with the 2004

warning “but we will look at that.” “We are constantly in the process of reviewing that which we can do better,” Holder said., At issue are findings by the FBI in 2004 that mortgage fraud was on the rise and posed a threat to financial markets that could equal the savings and loan crisis of the late 1980s. Angelides, a Democrat and former treasurer of California, cited an undercover FBI investigation that discovered more than 380 fraudulent loans worth more than $70 million.

Foreclosures Business inventories see record year rise in November

MIAMI (AP) — A record 2.8 million households were threatened with foreclosure last year, and that number is expected to rise this year as more unemployed and cash-strapped homeowners fall behind on their mortgages. The number of households that received a foreclosure-related notice rose 21 percent from 2008, RealtyTrac Inc. reported Thursday. One in 45 homes were sent a filing, which includes default notices, scheduled foreclosure auctions and bank repossessions. In December, more than 349,000 households, or one in 366 homes, were hit with a foreclosure-related notice. That represents a 14 percent spike from November and a 15 per-

cent jump from December 2008. Banks repossessed more than 92,000 homes, up 19 percent from November. That increase was likely due to lenders working to clear their books at the end of the year, RealtyTrac said. Stemming the tide of foreclosures is an important step for the real estate market and the economy to recover. Because foreclosures are usually sold at heavy discounts they can lower the value of surrounding properties. Cities lose property tax dollars from empty foreclosures and declining home values, straining local economies. Home prices have stabilized in some cities, but are still down 30 percent nationally from mid-2006.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Businesses boosted inventories by a biggerthan-expected amount in November, after slashing stockpiles for a prolonged period. The Commerce Department said Thursday that business inventories rose by 0.4 percent in November, double the 0.2 percent rise that economists had expected. It was the second consecutive rise in inventories after 13 months of declines. The hope is that businesses will begin

restocking their depleted shelves, helping to support the economic recovery. The government reported that total business sales rose by 2 percent in November, the best performance in two years. The rise in inventories was led by a 1.5 percent increase in stockpiles held by wholesalers. Inventories held by manufacturers rose by 0.2 percent while retail inventories dropped by 0.2 percent in November.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder told a commission investigating the financial crisis on Thursday he would find out whether anything was done in response to an FBI warning in 2004 of an “epidemic of mortgage fraud” that could plunge the country into financial collapse. Holder also said that the diversion of hundreds of Justice Department and FBI officers to terrorism-related duties after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks may have made it harder for his agency to pursue the kind of risky

Texas board reshapes lesson guidelines AUSTIN, Texas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kindergartners would learn about a Texas revolutionary and first-graders would discuss the idea of holding public officials accountable under proposals approved Thursday by the State Board of Education, which began reshaping the guidelines for social studies lessons. The board was wading through dozens of amendments before an expected first vote on the new standards, which will dictate what some 4.8 million students from kindergarten through 12th grade are required to learn in social studies, history and economics classes for the next decade. A final vote is expected in March. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decided in Texas could affect what school children elsewhere learn as well.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; NASA is investigating how a bag of cocaine got into the hangar that houses space shuttle Discovery at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA spokesman Allard Beutel said Thursday that the bag contained a tiny amount of the illegal substance. It was found by a worker in a secure part of the hangar that is accessible by about 200 NASA employees and contractors. NASA is drug testing and interviewing workers, as well as using drug-sniffing dogs. Beutel says there is no problem with any of Discoveryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardware, nor is there any indication that any employees were under the influence while working in the facility.
