THRILLING DISPLAYS: Artist from Argentina brings work to HPU. 1C

HIGH POINT – Crime in High Point dropped in 2009 for the second year in a row. Preliminary High Point Police Department statistics show a 6 percent decrease in violent crime and a 13 percent drop in property crime compared to 2008. A 77 percent reduction in homicides, along with a 12 percent decline in robberies, drove the decrease in violence. Aggravated assaults held steady, while rape was the only category of violent crime to increase during 2009, from 28 to 33 reported incidents. All categories of property crime except for arson

were down. Police called the drop particularly noteworthy because most expected the state of the economy to fuel a rise in break-ins, thefts and related crime. “I think we’ve made great progress in applying the model we’ve had for violent crime to property crime – where (detectives) are looking at the overall problem and finding all the connecting fibers,” said police Chief Jim Fealy. Police made several significant cases during 2009 that impacted the property crimes data. In December, a multiagency investigation into a local fencing operation led to the seizure of about $80,000 of stolen goods, in-

Detectives also cleared numerous residentialburglary cases by busting rings of suspects as well as individuals. A rash of home break-ins in September and October in the Laurel Springs and Laurel Oaks subdivisions in north High Point was cleared by a single arrest. Police credited several factors for bringing about the reduction in violent crime – the second year in a row it dropped after rising in 2007 and 2006. Chief among them was the work of the Violent

BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Elijah Lovejoy views Party on the Plank as part of a big picture for High Point’s future. Already, Party on the Plank has become bigger than he dared hope, which he both expected and found surprising. On one hand, Lovejoy has worked hard for months on the project, even though he’s not getting paid for his efforts. He hopes to clear enough that he can pay himself something in the end. He expected to get results, based on the strengths he brings to the project: being an ideas guy and stubbornness. “I’m not that smart, and I have a huge learning curve, so I’m willing to put 30-40 hours a week in without getting paid and to follow through on my vision,” he said. He has, however, been surprised at the response. People, he said, tell him it’s about time somebody put

time and effort into livening up downtown. They ask what he’ll do if too many people show up. Lovejoy isn’t sure he deserves credit for PARTY ON THE doing more than startPLANK ing a ball rolling. “I think I’ve made Breathing life a dent. I’m hesitant to into downtown say how much of a role ■■■ I’ve played,” he said. But he says he does believe something is beginning to happen, and to help with Party on the Plank and future events, he set up a limited liability company called Renovo Designs. “Renovo” means “renewal,” he said. “It’s a social entrepreneurship company, taking a cultural or societal need or challenge and coming up with a business model that addressed the need,” he said. “It basically enters into a relationship with nonprofits to help them put on events and advance the cause of renewal in High Point.” Lovejoy is planning for Party on the Plank to be an annual event, and he hints he may have other events in mind.

Already, Party on the Plank promises to be one of three large events in downtown High Point. Last summer’s Ilderton High Point Beach Music Blast, a series of outdoor concerts, was so popular that it will be repeated next summer on Thursdays Sept. 9-30th, said Tommy Lineberry of Children’s Home Society, which benefitted from the concerts. A group called Friends of John Coltrane will stage a fundraising concert next Labor Day weekend, and it is designed to seed yearly jazz festivals, said Patrick Harmon of the Friends group. “Stuff is starting to happen that will turn heads,” Lovejoy said. “That’s the big picture, I think, of a snowball starting to roll. “A main part of the philosophy of Party on the Plank and Renovo Designs is that business follows people, and people follow culture, and if there’s not a sense of vitality, people leave. The reason businesses leave High Point is people don’t come, and the reason people don’t come is that there’s no reason for people to come. “So the bigger problem is to get people to come (downtown.)” vknopfler@hpe.com | 888-3601

Contest seeks new name for annual concert series BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The High Point Theatre is sponsoring a contest to rename its annual series, and it also added a show-and-hotel package for patrons. A contest to rename the “Star Spangled Series” is under way through Feb. 26, and the winner will receive two VIP tickets for the 2010-2011 series, which likely will start in the summer or fall. The name “Star Spangled Series” has been used since 1975, and people often think it has something to do with the Fourth of July, said theater Director Louisa Hart. Since its inception, the season of performances at the city-operated theater has diversified considerably, and Hart hinted that the upcoming season may contain surprises and be structured and priced different. Currently most events in the series are music, with some drama, comedy and family events. “I want a name that makes people understand how diverse the series really is,” Hart said. “I want a name that’s catchy and one that lets people know what our series is about.” Hart recently began offering packages for two show tickets and a room at the nearby Best Western Hotel High Point for

a 60 percent savings. She hopes it will be used by locals for “staycations,” as well as by out-of-towners, she said. Hart already has registered reservations for the package, and she hopes to expand the offer. “Our shows benefit High Point, and part of our goal is to contribute to the economic development of High Point,” she said. “I wanted to do this to have a measure of the impact the theater has on the local economy, and the orders come through us, so I can keep track. “We plan to include other area hotels and ultimately restaurants so we can be a one-stop for people who want a hotel, restaurant and theater package.

egory open to Elon University students. Rachel Stanley won first place in that category. Green read part of her essay on Wednesday during a ceremony at Elon. Even without the recognition she got, Green said, “I learned a lot that I didn’t know about Dr. King.” She reflected on King’s reaction if he had been alive to see the election of President Barack Obama. “He would be very happy to see the election of our new African-American president,” she wrote. “His persistence for equality laid the groundwork for this historic win. If he were here he would be beaming with pride and amazement.”

The largest U.S. note currently in wide circulation is a $100 bill. But police found bundles of $1 million, $100,000 and $500 notes in the man’s

“Do not rest until freedom comes,” Ford said. Young and Rule were awarded for their work in furthering the cause of equality locally. Young, a pastor and community leader, received the award for his work providing affordable, quality housing in distressed areas of the city and for helping the city with a project in the Vail-Cassell streets area. In so doing, he also provided employment and education and follow-up care on home ownership. Rule has worked via multiple boards and groups to further equality in the areas of education, mental health and disabilities and race. He organized a Close the Gap conference in High Point that produced Christians Working Together, a group with the goal of building better relationships across racial, cultural and economic barriers.

Luther King Jr. Community Celebration at the High Point Theatre included entertainment that ranged from 19-year-old powerhouse singer Matt Wiley to 86year-old storyteller Elizabeth Frasier and praise performers. Keynote speaker Valda Boyd Ford, a High Point native, told of vocational advice she received as a young woman to bypass college and go straight to factory work. She now is founder and CEO of the Center for Human Diversity, and she travels the world speaking about and championing leadership and diversity. Ford gave examples from around the world of how differences in people and cultures are perceived by others and how those differences can lead to injustice. She spoke of Haiti, where people have lived in injustice for so long, she said. Ford quoted King: “An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” She urged the audience to educate itself about differences in the world and to go from thought to action.

Today, we remember the dream Martin Luther King Jr., delivering his “I Have a Dream” speech from the steps of Lincoln Memorial on Aug. 28, 1963:

‘I HAVE A DREAM’

---

am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition. In a sense we have come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked “insufficient funds.” But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check – a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God’s children. It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro’s legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges. But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on

the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. They have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone. As we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, “When will you be satisfied?” We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied, as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro’s basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their selfhood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating “For Whites Only.” We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you today, my friends, so even

though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. This will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with a new meaning, “My country, ‘tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim’s pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.” And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California! But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee! Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring. And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!” Reprinted by arrangement with the Heirs to the Estate of Martin Luther King Jr., c/o Writers House as agent for the proprietor, New York, N.Y.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity.

Providing humanitarian aid requires a safe and secure environment, said Lt. Gen. Ken Keen of the U.S. Southern Command. While streets have been largely calm, he said, violence is increasing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to have to address the situation of security,â&#x20AC;? Keen said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had incidents of violence that impede our ability to support the government of Haiti and answer the challenges that this country faces.â&#x20AC;? Keen said about 1,000 U.S. troops are in Haiti and that 3,000 more are working from ships. More than 12,000 U.S. forces are expected to be in the region by today.

Life on the outside City considers contract with company to help inmates gain job skills BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The High Point Police Department is ready to add another component to its violent crime reduction efforts. During its regular meeting, the City Council on Tuesday will consider authorizing a contract between the city and America Works of North Carolina Inc., a company that provides job training to ex-offenders. The council will be asked to adopt a budget amendment that would appropriate $100,000 for the

project. Private funds account for $55,000 of the total, with city funds covering the remainder. The company will work with police and the nonprofit High Point Community Against Violence in working with chronic offenders who drive the majority of violent crime. Historically, officials have found that the weak link in an otherwise successful program that helps offenders transition out of a life of crime is finding them employment. America Works will provide 33 chronic offenders with 40 hours of job training, job placement with local employers and retention services for 90 days. America Works, which is based in New York, will track participation in supportive services referrals and job readiness, as well as employment in its own fully cus-

turbidity that has created some problems with filters at the Ward Water Treatment Plant. The increase caused a violation of drinking water standards, according to the city. Water that was not properly treated because of the high turbidity never entered the water distribution system and won’t reach anyone’s tap, officials said. The city is sending a notice to all its water customers about the violation and corrections that are being made. The main breaks require more water to be treated to compensate for the loss, and the city asked last week that customers voluntarily reduce their water usage.

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – School officials set in motion Tuesday a Feb. 22 reopening of Oak Ridge Elementary School. The school was closed last June to investigate reports of mold and to repair the heating and air conditioning system. Those repairs cost more than $1 million, according to figures the Guilford County Board of Education reviewed Tuesday. Students and staff have complained of headaches, fatigue and other problems for years, but investigators found no “smoking gun” in their investigation which included representatives of the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. Monitoring will continue after the school reopens to ensure the heating and air-conditioning system is working properly, school officials said. Workers removed nearly all carpets, said Frederick McKnight, a consulting engineer for Turner Building Science and Design. “You should not install carpets,” McKnight said. “Carpets hide reservoirs of microbiological organisms.” McKnight said repairs should increase the building ventilation rates and improve humidity control. Turner supervised heating and air conditioning system repairs and removing any mold or mildew discovered during the process. “After reviewing Turner’s report, we have confidence that the facility has been improved and that the indoor air quality concerns have been satisfactorily addressed,” said Angelo Kidd, Western Region superintendent. Mold has been found at the school twice in the past four years. Parent Melissa Malone said she wanted to see reports showing that mold has been eliminated. Her son developed breathing and vision problems. “It is my right to have clean air,” she said before McKnight offered his report. “I want to see the test reports.” The district earmarked nearly $1.6 million to address the problems and soon spent $600,000 for new dehumidifying equipment. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

PART ridership flat for 2009 Agency considers dropping charge for passengers BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GREENSBORO – They say few things in life are free, but officials with the mass transit agency for the Piedmont may want to figure out if they can offer bus service at no charge to riders in the region. The board of trustees of the Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation will consider the idea of making ridership free of charge on its PART Express buses that pick up and deliver passengers to eight counties in the region. PART currently charges $2 per boarding and has charged passengers since the service was launched in 2002.

PART Executive Director Brent McKinney broached the idea of studying the implications of free bus service

If ridership, increased significantly because of free service, the agency might gain additional revenue under ridership funding formulas, officials say. during the board’s meeting Wednesday in Greensboro. The key would be offsetting the loss of approximately $770,000 in annual revenue from fare boxes with a stream of alternative funding through state and federal sources. “There may be a possibility of finding additional

revenue from grants that would offset the revenue we currently get from the fare box,” McKinney said following the meeting. Another factor is that some government funding formulas for mass transit are based on ridership. If PART ridership, which totaled 453,583 last year, increased significantly because of free service, the mass transit agency might gain additional revenue under ridership funding formulas, he said. Some board members, though agreeing to study the idea of free service, expressed reservations about the consequences. The popularity of not charging for PART Express could generate so many new travelers that operating and capital costs would outstrip any new sources of funding. That would leave PART either having to find other sources of revenue or reinstituting a fare to balance its budget. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Popular jurist dies of lymphoma LOS ANGELES (AP) – U.S. District Court Judge Florence Marie Cooper, whose reputation for brilliance and fairness made her a star of the federal judiciary, died Friday of lymphoma. She was 69. Cooper, who rose from a legal secretary to judgeships in state and federal courts, died at a Santa Monica hospital where she was being treated, Chief Judge Audrey B. Collins announced. “Our court is devastated by this loss,” Collins said. “Florence personified the best qualities one could hope for in a federal judge – intelligence, analytical reasoning and endless patience combined with fairness, the unwavering ability to recognize and correct injustice to the individual, and a passion for justice.” As a federal judge, Cooper made headlines dismissing a case against accused Chinese spy Katrina Leung on grounds of governmental misconduct. She also presided over a two-decade copyright battle involving the cartoon character Winnie the Pooh as well as a wrongful death suit brought against the city of Los Angeles by the family of rapper Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace. Cooper declared a mistrial in that case when she learned the city had failed to turn over documents, and ordered Los Angeles to pay more than $1 million in attorney fees.

Perdue wants SC crusaders look to right judicial wrongs from Jim Crow era grads ready for next level

Steve McKenzie, (from left) Shaun Kent, George Frierson and Ray Chandler stand together in the same courtroom where George Stinney Jr. was found guilty in Manning S.C. At 14 years old, Stinney was the youngest man ever to be executed in the state. the case three years ago. Frierson hasn’t been able to get the case out of his head since. The sheriff at the time said Stinney admitted to the killings, but no written record of the confession has been found. Attorney Steve McKenzie said he has even heard one account that says detectives offered the boy ice cream once they were done. The court appointed Stinney an attorney – a tax commissioner preparing for a Statehouse run. In all, the trial – from jury selection to a sentence of death – lasted one day. There is no transcript of the trial.

Charlotte police: Officer accused in 15 assaults shouldn’t have been hired sickened Jackson of hitting a girlfriend should have disqualified him from a job with the CharlotteMecklenburg Police Department. Deputy Chief Ken Miller says police mistakenly thought criminal background checks would also reveal civil restraining orders from a job candidate’s past.

Jackson was fired after he was arrested Dec. 30 and charged with sexually assaulting three other women. Five women have accused the 25-year-old Jackson of fondling them or forcing them to have sex. Jackson is in jail on $423,000 bond.

Name-change ruse may help co-worker save face

ear Abby: I have been working at my current job for a couple of years. One of my co-workers, who is in another department and who I see a couple of times a week, calls me “Sue.” My name is “Joyce.” He has been doing this for some time and I don’t know how to correct him without embarrassing him. Any suggestions? – Polite In New Jersey Dear Polite: Try this. Tell him you have changed your name to Joyce and that others are now using it and you’d appreciate it if he would, too. If he asks you the reason for the name change, say it’s because all your life you have felt more like a Joyce than a Sue. (It’s true.) Dear Abby: I have been dating this guy, “Omar,” for eight months. He is considerate, compassionate, affectionate, intelligent and worldly. He’s a good father and has a great sense of humor. Omar is any woman’s dream, but I am not physically attracted to him. There’s no chemistry, no electricity. I have tried to persevere, hoping my feelings would change. I feel like

the woman who says she wants a good guy until she finds one. I have struggled ADVICE with why I don’t have Dear feelings Abby for Omar. ■■■ He adores me, but all I feel toward him is friendship. I have tried forcing myself, but at my age I want someone who is sexy, someone I can fall passionately in love with. Omar and I have wonderful times together, but I’m not receptive to his advances. Should I keep trying, hoping things will change? Is 53 too old to still feel “gaga” over someone? – Searching For More in Philadelphia Dear Searching: Heck no! And I say that from personal experience. Now, ask yourself how you would feel if you discovered that Omar wasn’t really the person he has presented himself to be. Well, that’s how this man will feel if you continue “faking it.” Please stop giving him false hope where there isn’t any. Level with him. He’s the ideal man for someone else, and your Mr. Right

may be just around the corner. Dear Abby: My fatherin-law is 92. He has led an accomplished and rewarding life. He is also a careful man, concerned about posterity and he has written his own eulogy. When he passes, I plan to offer some warm and loving remarks. Because he has already written his eulogy, would it be in poor taste to send him my remarks now to let him know how I feel about him? – Loving Son-in-law In Virginia Dear Loving S-i-l: Not at all. When you do, send him a cover note saying, “I know you have written your eulogy, but I thought you might be interested to read what someone else has to say on the subject when that sad time comes. After all, the time to offer a compliment is when the recipient is around to enjoy it. Love, ...” P.S. Don’t be surprised if he sends it back with some suggested edits.

CHARLOTTE (AP) – Emergency crews responded to a major North Carolina airport after 15 passengers and crew members complained of sickness. US Airways spokeswoman Michelle Mohr said Sunday that seven crew members were taken to the hospital from Charlotte-Douglas International Airport Saturday night after complaining of headaches and nausea. The crew had been onboard a plane that had just arrived from St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Mohr says eight passengers from that flight were treated on the scene and went on to board connecting flights out of Charlotte. Shortly after the plane took off from St. Thomas, crew members noticed an odor and alerted Charlotte authorities. Mohr says the plane has been taken out of service. Authorities are investigating what caused the odor.

they only seem ready to go on to technical school or college,” Perdue said during a speech last week in Kannapolis laying out her education goals. “It’s truly and simply a disservice not just to them, but to us and to North Carolina’s future.” North Carolina’s education leaders say they’re all on the same page with Perdue and have been working on remediation with recent success. But they know that’s not good enough for the more than 80,000 students entering their senior year annually. “I think we need to acknowledge that we’re not getting it done for all students and we need to get it done,” State Board of Education Chairman Bill Harrison said. “We need to make sure that our diplomas mean something every where.” Of the 21,810 public high school graduates in spring 2008 who enrolled in a community college within the next year, 64 percent took one or more “developmental” courses, the state community college system said.

Stinney was accused of killing two white girls, ages 11 and 7, by beating them with a railroad spike then dragging their bodies to a ditch near Acolu, about five miles from Manning in central South Carolina. The girls were found a day after they disappeared. Stinney was arrested a few hours later. Because of the risk of a lynching, Stinney was kept at a jail 50 miles away in Columbia. Stinney’s father, who had helped look for the girls, was fired immediately and orGeorge Stinney Jr. dered to leave his home the porters want the state to ad- sawmill provided. “They had mit that officials executed the to leave town walking,” said Frierson, who discovered wrong person in June 1944.

RALEIGH (AP) – Gov. Beverly Perdue says she’s resolute about raising the high school graduation rate because nearly 30 percent of the ninth-graders still don’t cross the stage to get a diploma in four years. But Perdue’s 2010 education agenda has brought more attention to the more than 20,000 students who learn quickly the diplomas they earned aren’t worth as much as they hoped. Nearly two-thirds of North Carolina’s recent graduates entering community colleges must take basic algebra, English composition or other basic courses again because they didn’t learn it well enough the first time around in high school. Add thousands more incoming University of North Carolina system students who also are entering school behind and remedial education costs the state nearly $30 million annually and students precious time waiting to enter high-tech and other emerging fields. “When they graduate,

MANNING, S.C. (AP) – In a South Carolina prison 65 years ago, guards walked a 14-year-old boy, Bible tucked under his arm, to the electric chair. At 95 pounds, the straps didn’t fit, and an electrode was too big for his leg. The switch was pulled, and the death mask falls from George Stinney’s face. Witnesses recoiled in horror as they watched the youngest person executed in the United States in the past century die. Now, a community activist is fighting to clear Stinney’s name, saying the young black boy couldn’t have killed two white girls. George Frierson, a 56-yearold school board member and textile inspector, believes Stinney’s confession was coerced, and that his execution was just another injustice blacks suffered in Southern courtrooms in the first half of the 1900s. “I hope we see more cases like this because it help brings a sense of closure. It’s symbolic,” said Howard University law professor Frank Wu. “It’s not just important for the individuals and their families. It’s important for the entire community. Not just for African-Americans, but for whites and for our democracy as a whole.” In the Stinney case, sup-

Fever needs treatment long after symptoms leave

ear Dr. Donohue: I am a 48-year-old woman. I had rheumatic fever when I was 9 and had a mild heart murmur for less than a year. I have been on prophylactic penicillin daily since that time. In spite of eating well, having normal cholesterol levels and no family history of heart disease, last year I was discovered to have a blockage of my left anterior descending heart artery and had a stent placed. My cardiologist feels that penicillin is not necessary and advises me to discontinue it. I would appreciate your thoughts. – L.H.

For a relatively small number of people, a strep (the Streptococcus bacterium) throat is followed by rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever consists of heart inflammation; possible heart-valve damage; swollen, painful joints; a skin rash; lumps under the skin; and jerky movements of the hands and legs. Not all these signs are present in every case of rheumatic fever. The most serious complication is heart involvement. Once a person has had rheumatic fever, that person is quite susceptible to another attack of it. To prevent a second attack and further damage to the heart, people who suffered one rheumatic

fever attack are put on a program of penicillin prophylaxis. “Prophylaxis” means HEALTH “protection” or Dr. Paul “prevenDonohue tion.” ■■■ The American Heart Association has updated its guidelines for this prophylaxis. Anyone who has had heart inflammation and heart-valve damage should continue penicillin prophylaxis for 10 years or until age 40, whichever is longer. Those who had heart inflammation without valve damage (this is where you fit in) require prophylaxis for 10 years or until age 21, whichever is longer. You don’t need to take penicillin any longer. People who had other signs of rheumatic fever but no heart involvement stay on prophylaxis for five years or until age 21, whichever is longer. Rheumatic fever didn’t cause your current heart artery blockage. It’s hard to say why a young woman with normal cholesterol and no other risks for heart artery disease developed such a blockage. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have been taking Zocor

and Lopid for the past 15 years. As a result I contracted rhabdomyolysis. I spent five days in the hospital. Now that my muscle enzyme levels have come down, I was told not to take any statin drugs again. What can I take to keep my cholesterol from skyrocketing? – L.G. Rhabdomyolysis (RABdoe-my-OL-uh-siss) – destruction of muscle tissue – is a rare complication of statin treatment. Zocor is one of the statin drugs. The statins are the most powerful agents for cholesterol-lowering. Have you tried a lowfat, low-cholesterol diet as a way of reducing your cholesterol? It’s a diet of mostly fruits, vegetables and whole grains with little meat and some fish. Low-fat dairy products are permitted. Daily exercise keeps cholesterol down. If your cholesterol doesn’t come under control with such a program, then you can get a helping hand from niacin, Welchol, Cholestid or Zetia, medicines that work differently from statins. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Fernanda Piamonti’s “La Defense” shows the watercolor quality of her work.

Artist-in-residence Argentina’s Fernanda Piamonti brings her work, expertise to HPU BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – Maxine Campbell can scarcely contain her excitement about the paintings – and the painter – arriving this week at High Point University. The artist is a young woman from Argentina named Fernanda Piamonti, and Campbell – as curator of the Sechrest Art Gallery on the HPU campus – couldn’t be more thrilled about displaying Piamonti’s work to the HPU community and the public. “She’s young, but she does these amazing paintings that have this fabulous quality, this surreal mood,” Campbell explains. “For her to be so young, it’s really unusual to see her caliber of work.” The 36-year-old Piamonti, whose work has won numerous awards, will arrive Wednesday for a brief stint as HPU’s artistin-residence, during which she will lead a number of workshops

Fernanda Piamonti, 36, will exhibit her work at Argentinean embassies in Washington and New York after she leaves High Point. and seminars for HPU students. The exhibit of some of her works will open Wednesday, and an artist talk and opening reception – featuring South American food and music – will be held Friday. Both of these events, as well as the exhibit, will be open to the public.

Argentinean artist Fernanda Piamonti will exhibit her paintings Wednesday through March 3 in the Sechrest Gallery of the Hayworth Fine Arts Center, on the campus of High Point University. Gallery hours are 1 to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

Following the HPU exhibition, Piamonti has been invited to exhibit her works at the Argentinean embassies in Washington, D.C., and New York City, a clear testament to the quality of her work. According to Campbell, the HPU exhibit will include approximately 30 of Piamonti’s paintings, two of them quite large and most of which are landscapes she painted in Paris and London. “They’re mostly notable places – along the Thames, Big Ben, very recognizable places,” Campbell says. She quickly adds, however, that Piamonti’s works go beyond the typical landscape. “They have sort of a watercolor quality to them, but I don’t

Piamonti will give an artist talk at 4:30 p.m. Friday in the auditorium of Hayworth Fine Arts Center, and an opening reception will follow from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the gallery. Admission is free and open to the public. For more information, call the gallery at 841-4685.

believe she’s working in watercolor,” Campbell says. “She uses a lot of grays and a lot of dusky colors. She has kind of a limited palette, but she has a lot of mood and gets a lot across with that limited palette. There’s a sophistication to her work that you don’t usually find in such a young artist.” Piamonti speaks no English, so during her visit to HPU, she will have an interpreter with her at all times. For more information about Piamonti, including several galleries of her paintings, visit her Web site at www.fernanda piamonti.com.

Randolph Hospital will offer the AARP Driver Safety Program, a one-day course for adults who wish to brush up on their driving skills, on Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The AARP Driver Safety Program is the nation’s first and largest classroom driver improvement course specially designed for motorists age 50 and older, but it is available to drivers of all ages.

This course is one of Randolph Hospital’s community outreach events offered each month on a variety of health-related topics. Space is limited.

Museum hosts kindergarten kickoff ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

he third annual “Kickoff to Kindergarten: Parent Days” will be held Jan. 25 at the High Point Museum and Feb. 22 at the Greensboro Children’s Museum. The free, drop-in resource fair will be open from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at both locations. Representatives from Guilford County Schools will be available to answer questions regarding school-choice, pre-K options, transportation, school health and nutrition, afterschool options, and kindergarten curriculums. Also on hand will be representatives

from local libraries, Family & Health Services, Reading Connections, and other community resources that support the important transition into kindergarten. “This is the third year for this event, and we are so pleased with the momentum it has developed,” said Edith Brady, High Point Museum director. “As an educational institution, the High Point Museum sees our participation in this program as a vital part of our role in the community.” While starting kindergarten is a very big and exciting time in the life of a child, for parents, it also can be a little

overwhelming. There are a number of deadlines to meet and choices to make just to register for kindergarten, and the best preparation for kindergarten should include steps to prepare your child physically, mentally and emotionally. Many parents are unsure about everything they need to do to make sure their child has the best school start possible. For this reason, Guilford County Schools, Guilford Child Development, Guilford Partnership for Children, Get Healthy Guilford, United Way, Junior League of High Point, Guilford Education Alliance, Greensboro Children’s Mu-

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

seum and High Point Museum have teamed up to help parents navigate the potentially overwhelming transition to kindergarten. “I think every parent wants to make sure their child gets off to a good start in kindergarten, but they don’t always realize everything that is involved in the process,” Brady said. “Every year parents comment about how helpful the fair was for them and also about the community resources they discovered by attending.” According to Brady, the program is targeted for parents of all preschoolers, not just those of rising kindergartners.

Monday, Jan. 18, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Jesse L. Martin, 41; Jane Horrocks, 46; Mark Messier, 49; Kevin Costner, 55 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Be strong and go after your goals. You can make a difference if you refuse to back down or give in. This is a year of change and one that should allow you to take part in unusual experiences that alter the way you think and do things in the future. Remember past relationships and apply the lessons learned. Your numbers are 3, 6, 14, 18, 21, 25, 39 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You don’t have to make a decision based on what someone else wants you to do. Look at your financial position before you consider making a move that you may not be able to afford. Set your priorities and stick to them. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You will get a lot of satisfaction from helping others and will also find out some valuable information that enables you to make essential personal choices. Caution regarding home and family will be necessary to avoid mishaps or feuds. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t take what’s being said to heart. Concentrate on your own well-being and improvements that will raise your confidence and allow you options that may have been closed in the past. Don’t let anyone pressure you into overspending. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Like it or not, you are up for change. If you are willing to move forward, you will benefit from the journeys you take and the people you meet along the way. A partnership may pose some problems if you take on responsibilities that don’t belong to you. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Aggressive action may work initially but, in the end, it will backfire, causing you restrictions and added responsibilities. A proposition that has been on the table before can now be taken seriously. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Plan to do things a little differently. A change in a partnership can help you incorporate a broader base for the projects you would like to take on. Talks will bring results if you cut to the bottom line. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t take chances, especially if it will disrupt your home and family life. Let your intuition guide you. Working with, rather than for someone will allow you to offer more input into the process of accomplishing a common goal. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Doors are beginning to open and an opportunity to make a critical move that will benefit you personally and professionally is coming into play. Alter your everyday routine so you can expand and diversify your plans for the future. Progress is doable. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will be fooled by what others say and do if you haven’t done your research. An aggressive approach to a contract may be tempting but, in the end, you may take on more than you expected. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Do a little soul searching and ask tough questions. An experience you had with someone in the past will enlighten you. Don’t hold back or waffle when it’s vital to say what’s on your mind. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be torn between the past, present and future. Don’t let what’s already happened hold you back. Look forward and make sure that what you do now will enable you to make the most of what you’ve got to offer. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your emotions will be difficult to control. Change is required but it should be good for everyone you care about, not just you. Love is in the stars and can make you particularly happy if you are willing to share what you have. ★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Nick Nickell’s powerful squad won the 2009 Bermuda Bowl for the United States, surviving a tough final against Italy’s defending champions. In today’s deal, NorthSouth for Italy reached a bold slam after South opened one club, showing only a good hand. North’s three hearts, a “transfer” bid, made South declarer at six spades. With no attractive lead, the U.S. West tried the ace of hearts. On the next heart South threw a club from dummy and took the king. He drew trumps and led dummy’s jack of diamonds: queen, king. South then ruffed a heart, led a diamond to his ace and returned the nine. When West’s ten covered, South had 12 tricks.

DIAMOND TRICK The opening lead appeared to help declarer, but with, say, a trump lead, he could have set up a diamond trick to discard dummy’s heart. In the replay the U.S. North-South got to six spades by North. Here, East led the nine of hearts, and only a crystal ball would have saved declarer. Down he went, and Italy won 14 IMPs.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 9 5 H A Q J 10 7 3 D 10 5 3 2 C 9. Your partner opens 1NT (15 to 17 points). The next player passes. What do you say? ANSWER: If you judge that the hand is worth game, jump to four hearts; or, if your partnership uses transfer responses, bid four diamonds, which partner will convert to four hearts. If you think the hand is worth only an invitation, transfers are essential: Bid two diamonds and raise partner’s two hearts to three hearts. South dealer E-W vulnerable

‘Avatar’ passes ‘Star Wars’ with $491.8M in US LOS ANGELES (AP) – James Cameron’s “Avatar” had a $41.3 million weekend to shoot past “Star Wars” as the No. 3 movie on the all-time domestic box office charts. Next stop, “The Dark Knight.” No. 1 for the fifth-straight weekend, Cameron’s sci-fi saga raised its domestic

total to $491.8 million and should top $500 million after revenues are counted on Martin Luther King Day, according to studio estimates Sunday. Worldwide, 20th Century Fox’s “Avatar” lifted its total to $1.6 billion, second only to Cameron’s last movie, 1997’s “Titanic,” at $1.8 billion.

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.

Favre, Vikings crush Cowboys MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – “This is what I came back for.” For the adrenaline rush. For the in-yourface touchdown. For another shot at the Super Bowl. Brett Favre wanted all of it, and now he’s got it. Four – count ’em, four – touchdown passes from Minnesota’s 40-year-old quarterback sent the Vikings to the NFC championship game with a determined 34-3 rout of the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. “Probably the most fatigued I got today was celebrating,” Favre said, smiling. The Vikings (13-4) will take on the Saints next Sunday at New Orleans (14-3), with the winner going to the Super Bowl in Miami – the only reason Favre put retirement on hold for a second straight season. Favre found Sidney Rice for three scores and put an exclamation point on the final one when his fourth-and-3 pass from the 11 was caught in the end zone by Visanthe Shiancoe after the 2minute warning. Never in 22 previous playoff games had Favre thrown for four scores, and never before had he beaten Dallas in the postseason after losses to the Cowboys ended his first three playoff experiences with Green Bay. Favre finished 15 for 24 for 234 yards without a turnover, slapping fives with anyone in reach and rapidly pumping his right arm after each score. Favre even added another accomplishment as the first 40-year-old quarterback to win a playoff game. The Vikings, who had

Minnesota’s Brett Favre (4) celebrates with Sidney Rice after they hooked up for a 45-yard touchdown pass during the second half of Sunday’s NFL divisional playoff game against Dallas. Favre threw four TD passes – three to Rice – as the Vikings rolled to a 34-3 victory. last week off while the Cowboys whipped Philadelphia, were bothered by all the people picking Dallas to win. “The Tasmanian devils were coming from Dallas that were about to bombard the state of Minnesota and run through us like Sherman through the South,” coach Brad Childress said, exaggerating the popular opinion about this game. “All of us felt it quite palpably.” Ray Edwards led the Minnesota defense’s harassment of Tony Romo, who sat stone-faced on the bench between possessions in the second half after a three-turnover game against one of his childhood favorites. Romo was sacked six times, three by Edwards, lost two of his three fumbles and threw an interception.

SAN DIEGO (AP) – Maybe Rex Ryan already knows the score of the AFC championship game, too. The rookie coach who, at one point, didn’t know his Jets were still in playoff contention, then declared them Super Bowl favorites, will need some more bold predictions. His Jets are still playing. Rookies Mark Sanchez and Shonn Greene led New York to a stunning 17-14 upset of San Diego in the divisional playoffs Sunday, each providing a touchdown in the fourth quarter that marked another Chargers postseason pratfall. “It’s a big win for our franchise,” Sanchez said, “and we’re not done.” Sanchez threw a go-ahead, 2yard touchdown pass to tight end Dustin Keller three plays into the fourth quarter, then Greene gave the Jets some breathing room

Duke’s Miles Plumlee (21) and Wake Forest’s Al-Farouq Aminu go for a loose ball during the first half of Sunday night’s game in Durham.

Duke tops Wake DURHAM (AP) – Miles Plumlee had career highs of 19 points and 14 rebounds, younger brother Mason Plumlee added 11 points and No. 8 Duke pulled away to beat Wake Forest 90-70 on Sunday night. Kyle Singler added 21 points and 15 rebounds and Nolan Smith had 20 points for the Blue Devils (15-2, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference). They overcame a de-

fense determined to stop leading scorer Jon Scheyer, broke the game open with 13 straight points midway through the first half and rolled to their 13th straight win at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Al-Farouq Aminu had 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Demon Deacons (12-4, 2-2), who lost their 12th straight at Cameron and haven’t won here since 1997, when Tim Duncan was still in school.

New York quarterback Mark Sanchez walks off the field following the Jets’ 17-14 win over the San Diego Chargers on Sunday. with a 53-yard scoring run on their next possession. The upstart Jets (11-7), who have won seven of their last eight,

advanced to the AFC championship game for the first time since 1999. They’ll play at top-seeded Indianapolis next Sunday. “A matchup that probably nobody wanted, but too bad,” Ryan said. “Here we come!” Of course, it was the Colts who pulled Peyton Manning and other starters in the second half of their Week 16 game against the Jets, who rallied for a victory that put them in control of their playoff destiny. Before that game, Ryan said his holiday wish was for the Colts to rest Manning & Co. After the Jets finally did clinch a playoff spot by routing Cincinnati the following week, Ryan, their rookie head coach, created a postseason itinerary for his players that included the Super Bowl in Miami followed by a parade two days later. He might be onto something.

Maybe this week he’ll predict the Jets’ opponent in the Super Bowl. “We believed the whole time, the whole year, when it probably wasn’t the popular choice,” Ryan said. “We don’t have to apologize to anyone.” After Philip Rivers scored on a 1-yard sneak with 2:14 left to pull the Chargers within three, the Jets recovered the onside kick. Facing a fourth-and-1 from the 29 with 1:09 left, the Jets called timeout. Ryan decided to go for it and Greene bulled through the Chargers’ line for 2 yards. The Chargers (13-4) not only saw their 11-game winning streak end, but suffered yet another playoff meltdown after earning the AFC’s No. 2 seed. “You’d like to play your best games in January in games like this, and certainly, for whatever reason, we did not do that today,” Chargers coach Norv Turner said.

NFL MINNESOTA DALLAS

imagine Tennessee football fans are still seeing more red than orange as they contemplate their coaching situation. The Lane Kiffin Era in Knoxville lasted only 14 months. Kiffin bolted after one season to take the head coaching job at Southern Cal. He left the Volunteers after a 7-6 season that saw the energetic 34-year-old make some positive recruiting strides and field a competitive team almost every Saturday.

On the downside, Kiffin oversaw a program that committed numerous minor NCAA violations. His tendency to stir controversy with juicy comments also rubbed some the wrong way. Now, the question becomes which way the Tennessee football program will go next. Rocky Top fans and boosters expect to compete for SEC and national titles on a consistent basis.

That’s not easy under the best of circumstances. A sudden head coaching search in midJanuary hardly qualifies as the best of times for the Vols. The Vols hastily hired Louisiana Tech coach Derek Dooley to take the reins on Friday. It’ll be fascinating to see how things shake out in Tennessee.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Gaines Adams, an All-American defensive end at Clemson whose career never blossomed in the NFL with Chicago and Tampa Bay, died Sunday after going into cardiac arrest. He was 26. He died at Self Regional Hospital after going into cardiac arrest about an hour before at his family’s home in Greenwood, said Marcia Kelley-Clark, chief deputy coroner for Greenwood County. An autopsy showed an enlarged heart, a condition that can often lead to a heart attack, Kelley-Clark added. She said relatives were unaware of any medical condition. Drug use is not suspected. Adams, 6-foot-5 and 258 pounds, spent three seasons in the NFL, two with the Buccaneers and part of this season with the Bears.

Duke dismisses 3 football players

DURHAM (AP) — Three players have been kicked off the Duke football team for conduct unbecoming of members of the program. Blue Devils coach David Cutcliffe said Sunday night that freshmen John Drew, Kyle Griswould and Brandon Putnam had been dismissed from the team. University officials say the three have been charged with felonious possession and discharge of a weapon after an early morning incident on campus. Drew, the only one who saw action last season, made one start and played in all 12 games at defensive tackle. He made 34 stops and one fumble recovery.

Saints offense, Vikings’ defense on collision course THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Dallas’ Tony Romo reacts after being sacked during the second half of Sunday’s playoff game against Minnesota. Romo was sacked six times, lost two fumbles and threw an interception as the Vikings posted a 34-3 victory.

Romo folds in blowout loss MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – All those big-game demons that Tony Romo supposedly vanquished last week returned to haunt the Dallas Cowboys yet again. Romo lost two of his three fumbles and threw an interception to seal the Cowboys’ fate in a 34-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC divisional playoffs Sunday. Romo completed 22 of 35 passes for 198 yards, but the best individual season of his career was brought to a crashing halt. The Vikings had six sacks and 10 hurries in what coach Wade Phillips called the most relentless pass rush his team has seen all season. “Anytime you come in with the expectations and goals we set and don’t accomplish them, number one, it’s frustrating,” Romo said before a long pause as he searched for

the right words. “Right now it’s just hard to think the season is over.” On the other side, one of Romo’s boyhood idols did him in. Romo grew up in Burlington, Wis., while Brett Favre was leading the Green Bay Packers back to the top of the NFL. There was no cheering for him Sunday while Favre threw for 234 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Vikings to their first NFC title game since 2001. Romo trudged back to the locker room with a dejected look on his face and another big-game failure on his resume. “My assessment was that we had receivers open, we just couldn’t get enough protection and Tony didn’t have enough time to get it there,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. It was such a stark contrast to a week ago, when Romo was the

toast of NFL analysts for leading the team’s December charge to the NFC East title. He threw for 311 yards and two scores against Philadelphia in the final week of the regular season to give the Cowboys the NFC East title, then followed that up with 244 yards and two TDs in a 34-14 win over the Eagles for his first career playoff win. The performances – and a full regular season in which he set career bests for yards (4,483), rating (97.6) and fewest interceptions (9) – led many to believe that Romo had finally put all those struggles behind him. Then the Vikings made him look like the kid whose fumbled hold of a field goal try cost the Cowboys against the Seahawks in the 2007 playoffs. “It looked like Tony was running for his life a lot,” Phillips said.

The Saints’ offense and Vikings’ defense dominated in the divisional playoffs to set up a tantalizing matchup in the NFC championship game. New Orleans’ defense and Minnesota’s offense didn’t look too bad, either. Maybe these teams will give fans a more competitive affair than the first three games of this weekend, when the conferences’ top clubs reminded everybody why they ruled all year before late-season skids. Brett Favre is headed to New Orleans to try to return to the Super Bowl at age 40, 12 years after his last appearance. Two downtrodden fan bases will watch as the topseeded Saints host the NFC title game for the first time, less than five years after Hurricane Katrina decimated New Orleans. Minnesota hasn’t gone to the Super Bowl since 1977; New Orleans has never been. The Vikings routed the Dallas Cowboys 343 on Sunday to set up the NFC championship showdown. Favre threw four touchdown passes, while the defense sacked Tony Romo six times and forced him into three turnovers. “To win the way that we did doesn’t mean anything going into next week,” Favre said. A day earlier, the Saints trounced the Arizona Cardinals 45-14.

Warner weighs options

Indianapolis defense delivers playoff gem INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Colts coach Jim Caldwell put a premium on speed for the playoffs. He wanted his defense to play faster – even if it meant giving up a shot at perfection, taking a few extra days off and perhaps missing a couple of assignments. Mission accomplished. Indianapolis’ defense dominated Baltimore on Saturday night, limiting the run-first Ravens to just 87 yards and two first downs on the ground while keeping them out of the end zone. “That was one of our goals,” Caldwell said Sunday when asked if the Colts looked as fast on video as they did in person. “I really believe in speed, particularly at a time of the year when maybe you can gain a step or two. I’d rather give up a little in preparation if you can pick up a step or two because you can make up for a mistake.” For the Colts, it went against all expectations. Indy (15-2) finished the regular season ranked No. 24 against the run and No. 18 overall in defense. The Ravens (10-8) were supposed to play ball-control against the Colts, a week after running for 234 yards at New England. Instead, the Colts had a nearly eight-minute advantage in time of possession. It was a major improvement over last year, when San Diego’s Darren Sproles shredded the Colts for 328 all-purpose yards and almost single-handedly beat them in overtime. The reason for the change, Caldwell believes, is a shift in philosophy. When Caldwell met

with players last March, he said he wanted them fresh at the end of the season – no matter the cost. So when the Colts wrapped up the AFC’s No. 1 seed with three games still to play, Caldwell decided to give his players more rest over the 28-day span between meaningful games while increasing the intensity of practice to stay sharp. The result was evident even before the Colts stepped on the field Saturday night. “I remember last week (assistant head coach) Clyde (Christensen) and I were talking at practice and I said, ’Did that (practice) seem fast out there today?”’ Caldwell recalled. “He said, ’I think so.’ I think the practices we had gave them a taste of what was going to happen on game day.” Things went so well that Caldwell is sticking with the plan this week. He gave the Colts an off day Sunday, as they look ahead to Sunday’s AFC championship game. Caldwell also is giving Indy off days today and Tuesday, as the team has regularly done following victories in November, December and January since Tony Dungy arrived in 2002. “It was such a late game, night games take a lot out of you,” Caldwell said. “You’re up late; most of us were up until 3 or 4 o’clock in the morning. So to come back Monday doesn’t make a lot of sense, so we gave them some time off. But our guys are using it wisely. They’re in here lifting weights, watching film.” And getting ready for the second AFC title game ever held in Indy.

Drew Brees threw three touchdown passes and Reggie Bush scored on an 83-yard punt return and a spectacular 46yard run. The Jets upset the second-seeded Chargers 17-14 on Sunday to fill out the last spot in the NFL’s final four. New York goes back to Indianapolis, where the topseeded Colts showed no signs of rust in beating Baltimore 20-3 on Saturday to reach the AFC title game. The Jets handed the Colts their first loss of the season, 29-15, on Dec. 27 in Indianapolis. Of course, the Colts had already clinched homefield advantage by then, and coach Jim Caldwell pulled Peyton Manning and other starters early in the second half before New York rallied. “A matchup that probably nobody wanted, but too bad,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said. “Here we come!” Rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez threw a go-ahead, 2-yard touchdown pass to tight end Dustin Keller three plays into the fourth quarter Sunday, then Shonn Greene gave the Jets breathing room with a 53-yard scoring run on their next possession. The upstart Jets (117), who have won seven of their last eight, advanced to the AFC championship game for the first time since 1999. The Chargers (13-4) saw their 11-game winning streak end.

The Colts forced four turnovers in a 20-3 victory.

Ravens’ safety Reed contemplates retirement INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed is considering retirement after an injury-filled season. The 31-year-old Reed missed four December games because of a variety of injuries, including problems with his neck, hip and groin. “I’ve been thinking about it, and it kind of hit me on the sidelines,” he said Saturday after a 20-3 playoff loss to the Colts. “It’s going to be a long offseason. It hurts. I am just thinking about it. “I’m 50-50. I am going to re-evaluate things and see how it goes in the next couple of days.” The six-time Pro Bowler was the 2004 Defensive Player of the Year. He had

one interception of Peyton Manning on Saturday night, but fumbled on his runback, handing the ball back to the Colts. He also had an interception and long return erased by a pass interference penalty on teammate Corey Ivy. Reed has a franchise-record 46 interceptions and 13 career touchdowns. He is the only player in NFL history to score TDs by blocking a punt and returning a punt, an interception and a fumble. But Reed has been hindered over the past two seasons by a damaged nerve in his neck, among the other injuries. He made only three interceptions this year, yet made the Pro Bowl. “It wasn’t a weird nomination. I played the majority of the season,” he said.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) – Kurt Warner’s possible retirement. Contract troubles with Darnell Dockett and Anquan Boldin. Oh, and a defense that was scorched for 90 points in two playoff games. These are just some of the issues facing the Arizona Cardinals following their elimination from the playoffs in a blowout loss at New Orleans. The ugly end ruined any chance for Arizona to repeat its magical run to the Super Bowl. At his season-ending news conference Sunday, coach Ken Whisenhunt emphasized the positives. The Cardinals took the NFC West title for the second year in a row and won 10 games in the regular season for the first time in 33 years. Then Warner was near prefect in a 5145 wild card shootout against Green Bay, the highest-scoring game in NFL playoff history. “We are two games from where we were last year. That is pretty good,” Whisenhunt said. “There are a lot of teams that would switch with us.” Warner, as he cleaned out his locker, said he and his wife planned to get away for a bit, but his decision on whether to return next season won’t be a drawn-out affair. “It won’t be long. That’s all I can say,” he said.

The second-seeded Safina made 30 unforced errors and was erratic at times, but had no serious problems

NICKLAUS-WATSON WIN CHAMPIONS SKINS GAME

JOHANNESBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Charl Schwartzel of South Africa claimed his second straight European Tour title on Sunday, shooting a 5-under 66 to pull away for a six-stroke victory at the Joburg Open. Schwartzel overcame some early nerves on the Royal Johannesburg and Kensington East course to finish at 23-under 261. Keith Horne of South Africa shot a 64, the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best round, to share second place with Darren Clarke of Northern Ireland.

KAANAPALI, Hawaii â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson held off a late charge by defending champions Fuzzy Zoeller and Ben Crenshaw to win the Champions Skins Game on Sunday. Nicklaus, who turns 70 on Thursday, and Watson birdied two holes to earn three skins worth $130,000 on the back nine. They finished with 10 skins worth $350,000 for their second victory in the event in four years.

Zoeller-Crenshaw took five straight skins for $230,000 to finish second in the alternate-shot, madefor-TV event. They were trying to become the first team to repeat after winning a record $530,000 last year. Fred Couples, making his Champions Tour debut, and Nick Price sank a 4-footer for birdie on the playoff hole with two skins and $150,000 on the line, including the 18th-hold â&#x20AC;&#x153;Superskin,â&#x20AC;? to finish third with $190,000. Gary Player and Loren Roberts were shut out.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no smiling and joking in this locker room after that game,â&#x20AC;? Mavericks guard Jason Terry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was embarrassing.â&#x20AC;? Jose Calderon had 15 points and Jarrett Jack scored 11 for the Raptors, who took the lead early in the second and never trailed again,

leading by as many as 26. Toronto won for the seventh time in eight home games, reaching the midpoint of its season at 21-20. Dirk Nowitzki scored 19 points and Terry had 18 for the Mavericks, who have lost three of four. Shawn Marion scored 15 for the Mavs.

Curious picks, and a call to alter All-Star voting THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Unwanted by their teams, Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady are still adored by their fans. The Memphis Grizzlies quickly parted ways with Iverson. The Houston Rockets are trying to trade McGrady. Maybe the players can swap stories of their rocky roads while covering each other at the All-Star game. Despite having little to no impact this season, both went into the final hours of voting in position to start, thanks to loyal fans who still consider them stars even though their stats say otherwise. And with fans showing signs of getting it so wrong, Boston Celtics guard Ray Allen thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to limit their influence. The nine-time All-Star said the fan voting has made the game â&#x20AC;&#x153;watered downâ&#x20AC;? and calls for a change in the process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the fact that the fans get the opportunity to vote and pick who theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see in the All-Star game, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it should be 100 percent,â&#x20AC;? Allen said this week.

Allen said fans should have 50 percent of the vote, with the other 50 percent being divided evenly between the media and the players. He said players know who is playing the best, and believes with his idea, â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d look at five guys starting the All-Star team regardless of hype or highlight.â&#x20AC;? The NBA likes things the way they are. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look at it as a great way to engage the fans,â&#x20AC;? NBA spokesman Brian McIntyre said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good system.â&#x20AC;? The NBA went to fan voting for the starters in the mid-70s and this season made it even more available to its fans by allowing them to vote by text messaging. Paper balloting has already closed, but votes can be cast until 11:59 p.m. Monday night on nba.com or by texting a playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last name to 6-9-6-2-2 (MYNBA). Starters will be announced Thursday night. McGrady has a good chance of being passed, as his lead over Steve Nash for the second guard spot in the Western Conference was only 2,375 votes when the most recent

update was released on Jan. 7. He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to strengthen his case since then, since heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d already been granted a leave from the Rockets while they try to find a trade. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played sparingly in only six games this season since coming back from knee surgery, and Allen thinks commissioner David Stern should consider a rule mandating a player appear in a minimum number of games to be eligible. Iverson had a better shot of holding on to his No. 2 spot in the East, leading Vince Carter by more than 185,000 votes. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s listed with West players on the paper ballot after starting the season in Memphis, but his votes count in the East since he signed with the Philadelphia 76ers. He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played at an All-Star level this season, but fans may be looking at what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done in the past. Allen also mentioned getting the coaches, who pick the reserves, involved in selecting the starters. Even that may not guarantee the most deserving 10 players, since coaches could have their own opinions about who belongs in the AllStar game.

Automakers unveil smaller, more fuel-efficient cars DETROIT (AP) – More than any auto show in recent memory, the new cars rolled out this week out at the Detroit auto show will redefine what we drive in the future. As the show opened to the public on Saturday, small cars that push the previous limits on gas mileage, performance, quality and looks took the spotlight. Here are three of the hottest cars at the show:

which has a base sticker of $16,405 with automatic transmission. HONDA CR-Z: Most gas-electric hybrids look like tulip bulbs and don’t handle or accelerate that well. But Honda Motor Co. unveiled a hybrid that will bring fun to those who want to be green with the 2011 CR-Z, a sporty two-seater that goes on sale late this summer in the U.S. The sleek hatchback comes with an electric motor plus a 122 horsepower, 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine. It has a six-speed manual transmission available, and unlike other hybrids, the driver can choose between sport, normal and economy driving modes. What you gain in fun you lose in gas mileage. The new CR-Z will get 31 city mpg and 37 highway with the manual transmission. Drivers will get 36 city mpg and 38 highway with a continuously variable automatic. That’s below the Prius, which gets 51 city and 48 mpg highway. Pricing will be announced later this year.

Investors await more earnings reports NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks got carried away about the recovery. That at least is one interpretation of two curious market moves so far this earnings season. Intel Corp. blew away expectations Thursday. Ditto for JPMorgan Chase & Co. the next day. And how did investors show their gratitude? They sold stocks by the bucketful. Intel was off 3 percent on Friday, and JPMorgan down 2 percent. The Dow Jones industrial average fell almost 101 points. “The market may have gotten ahead of the underlying economy,” says CreditSights analyst David Hendler, by way of explanation. JPMorgan’s report showed that “loan demand is still contracting,” which means a full recovery is still a ways off. The weak outlook may have caught Wall Street-

ers by surprise, but here’s the bigger shocker: that they were surprised at all. The weak recovery is news? Stock prices reflect the future, not the present. But with unemployment at 10 percent, people with jobs scared they may

soon add to that grim statistic and a quarter of Americans owing more on their mortgages than their homes are worth, just what kind of future were the professional traders responsible for this 10-month old rally expecting? The answer from late

last week about their view: too optimistic. Of course, it’s early in the earnings season and sentiment about the recovery could change fast. Bulls are hoping a flurry of reports in the coming week will show consumers are opening their wallets again. Did average spending per visit to Starbucks Corp., which reports on Wednesday, rise last quarter as it did in the third? Was KimberlyClark Corp., reporting on Friday, able to fend off cheap generics in the diaper and tissue wars? Is Harley-Davidson, reporting the same day, selling more $25,299 Fat Bob bikes? Then there are all those woebegone banks, which traded off sharply on Friday. Credit card giant Citigroup Inc. reports on Tuesday and Wells Fargo & Co., a big mortgage lender, the next day.

Kraft Foods Inc. is expected to sweeten its offer for Cadbury PLC, in an effort to remain in the running as it faces a potential competing bid from Hershey Co. for the British candy maker, according to media reports. The Sunday Times and The Observer in London said Sunday that Kraft is raising its offer to 820 pence per Cadbury share, or about $13.33, from 771 pence. Cadbury shares closed Friday at 793.5 pence on the London Stock Exchange. Kraft’s earlier offer

was valued at 10.3 billion pounds, or about $16.5 billion, which Cadbury rejected as “derisory.” Kraft and Cadbury did not immediately return calls for comment. The newspapers said Kraft plans to increase the cash portion of its cashand-stock bid. Kraft’s biggest shareholder, Berkshire Hathaway, managed by billionaire Warren Buffett, had warned against issuing more shares to boost the acquisition offer. Investors fret that Kraft’s stock is undervalued and selling more shares would further diminish its value.

Verizon Wireless lowers voice plan prices NEW YORK (AP) – Verizon Wireless is cutting the price of unlimited call plans, but the largest cell phone carrier in the U.S. is requiring more of its customers to buy the data plans used to access the Internet and check e-mail on high-end mobile devices. Verizon Wireless said Friday it will now charge $70 a month for an unlimited

monthly calling plan. Such a plan previously cost $100. A plan for unlimited calls and text messages will cost $90 starting Monday. It previously cost $120. But Verizon is also making more customers sign up for data plans. Customers who buy any 3G, or third-generation multimedia phones will now have to sign up for a $10 per month data package.

NASA officials listen for silent Mars lander LOS ANGELES (AP) – Will Phoenix rise from the dead? Don’t bet on it.

Task force: Screen kids; obesity treatment works

President Barack Obama and Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley wave to the crowd during a campaign rally at Northeastern University in Boston on Sunday.

CHICAGO (AP) – An influential advisory panel says school-aged youngsters and teens should be screened for obesity and sent to intensive behavior treatment if they need to lose weight – a move that could transform how doctors deal with overweight children. Treating obese kids can help them lose weight, the panel of doctors said in issuing new guidelines today. But that’s only if it involves rigorous diet, activity and behavior counseling. Just five years ago, the

He assailed GOP candidate Scott Brown, who downplayed his party affiliation during the campaign, as just another typical Republican who sides with special interests. The unexpectedly tight race for the seat held so long by Edward M. Kennedy, in a state where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by 3-to-1, reflects a nasty antiestablishment environment that threatens Obama’s support in Congress.

BOSTON (AP) – His agenda at risk, President Barack Obama fought Sunday to save a struggling Democratic U.S. Senate candidate and the critical 60th vote needed for his health care plan. “Understand what’s at stake here Massachusetts. It’s whether we’re going forward or going backwards,” Obama said during a rally for Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley. “If you were fired up in the last election, I need you more fired up in this election.” The president made a direct appeal

The plan calls for the orbiting Mars Odyssey spacecraft to make regular passes over the Phoenix landing site and listen for a beep. If the three-legged, solar-powered lander fails to phone home as expected, NASA will hail it again next month when the sun is higher on the horizon.
