Snow sends students to school on Saturday in Thomasville

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – As a result of this month’s wintry weather, students in the Thomasville school system will have their spring break cut short and will have to attend school on one Saturday in April. Rick Jones, career technical education director for Thomasville City Schools, said the Thomasville Board of Education has approved an amendment to the system’s 2009-10 calendar calling

for the missed days of Feb. 1-3 and Feb. 5 to be made up April 6-7 and June 10. Students also will go to school on Saturday, April 10, which will serve as a half-day. Other than students making up a day on Memorial Day, the school system didn’t have any other options than having students make up the day on a Saturday, Jones said. “We didn’t want to use Memorial Day because we have many people in our community who are involved in that,” Jones said. “It’s much safer to leave

that date alone. If we get in a jam and we miss additional days, we are not going to have any other choice.” The school system has no remaining makeup days in its calendar. If the system misses any more days due to inclement weather, the system has the options of using Memorial Day, going to school on additional Saturdays and requesting a waiver from the N.C. Department of Public Instruction to go past June 10 – a day that state law says school should end for the year.

In addition to the amendment to this year’s calendar, the school board approved the 2010-11 school year calendar. Under the approved calendar, students will have a full week off for Easter break, which is an addition to three days for Easter break. Students, however, will lose two days for Christmas break. Next school year’s calendar will have two additional makeup days because of the long Easter break, Jones said. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

High Point city crews cut a fallen tree blocking the 400 block of Hillcrest Drive. Wind gusts downed trees throughout the Triad on Wednesday, including in High Point and Randolph County, and high wind warnings were issued for most of the region through 9 p.m. According to WXII News 12 in Forsyth County, a Wake Forest University law student was uninjured when a tree

fell on his house shortly after noon Wednesday, when wind gusts of 46 mph were reported. Forecasters said sustained wind speeds ranged from 25 to 30 mph, with damaging wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph. Winds were expected to die down overnight, with today’s forecast calling for sunny skies and highs in the mid-40s and lows in the mid-20s.

Leaders seek school budget benchmarks BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – County leaders continued their tedious review Wednesday of school district budget figures and statistics in search of benchmarks. Commissioners did not challenge the $2,474 that the county provides per student. A Public School Forum study ranked Guilford County as seventh statewide in per-pupil support at $2,205 in 2007, behind Mecklenburg at fourth with $2,424, but ahead of Wake at 11th at $2,007. Many counties maintain perpupil spending with a formula, Sharon Ozment, district chief financial officer, told a joint budget committee. Several years ago, commissioners reviewed formulas, but

Revenue: County taxpayers provided $175 million this year for the school district’s $591 million budget. Cuts: The district could face state cuts again this year, ranging from $11 million to $25 million, according to the latest estimates. State cuts in the current budget totaled $22 million.

decided not to use one comparable to the ones they studied. For years, many commissioners have complained that the district has employed too many administrators. But how they are counted became the focus of discussion

for the committee. “Some people say the district is top heavy with office people,” said Democratic Commissioner Bruce Davis of High Point. The fact that Wake County had dropped out of the Top Ten in perpupil support surprised several commissioners, as did Wake’s apparently lower ratios for administrators per student and employees per student. “We would have to do our own analysis to see what is comparable,” said Superintendent Mo Green. A John Locke Foundation study, using state 2008 figures, showed the Guilford district employs one administrator per 119 students, compared to one per 154 students for Mecklenburg and one for 227 students in Wake. The

state average is 167 students per administrator. The numbers the committee reviewed showed the same discrepancy. The foundation study listed administrators as supervisors, managers, consultants and other professionals. “The changes we see probably are related to how the employees have been categorized,” Ozment said. “These numbers raise a lot of questions,” said Democratic Commissioner Kay Cashion. Commissioners also want to examine state-mandated and local option expenses, replacing school resource officers with private security guards, and per-pupil spending listed in a new district report. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

TRIAD – U.S. Rep. Howard Coble is the dean of the state congressional delegation, and he took the first step Wednesday toward maintaining that role. Coble, R-6th, filed for his 14th term. He’s the longestserving current member of the 13-member state congressional delegation. “When I first ran for this office (in 1984), I said my goal was to take a sharp pencil to Washington. Conservative groups have said that I am keeping my commitment to take a sharp pencil to Washington waste and have commended me for those efforts,” Coble said in a statement. Coble has won comfortably against Democratic and Libertarian Party challengers during election cycles dating back to the early 1990s. But this year Coble faces a Republican Party primary challenge from Cathy Brewer Hinson of High Point, who has announced plans to seek the 6th District seat.

Full obituary. 2B BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Friends and colleagues of Clyde “Pat” Slaten remember the former Thomasville councilman as someone who lived life to the fullest. Slaten, 83, a decorated a World War II veteran who last served on Thomasville City Council in 2007, died at High Point Regional Hospital Tuesday. City Manager Kelly Craver said City Hall in Thomasville fell “very silent” when former colleagues who became close friends were informed

of Slaten’s death. “On a personal note, I think Pat Slaten was someone who I will Slaten always remember, someone who loved life better than anybody I have ever known,” Craver said. “... He was a very brave individual. He had just the most positive attitude than anybody I can think of. What really came to me yesterday is that I was very proud to stand in his shadow. He was a magnificent person.” Elected to the City Council in 2005 by knocking on 1,500 doors, Slaten quickly made friends with then-Councilman Dwight Cornelison and Raleigh York Jr., who

still serves on the board. “I had the upmost respect for Pat and his life touched me greatly,” Cornelison said. “It really did. I’m a better person for knowing Pat. We got to share a lot of close memories when the prayer issue was up. I’m convinced that Pat’s heart was right. I know he’s in heaven.” “He was just a very meaningful friend for a person to have,” York said. “I just consider myself extremely fortunate to have known him for a period of five years that I have known him. I’m just very thankful that I had the opportunity to be his friend and certainly appreciate everything he did for the city.” Slaten, who was diagnosed with liver cancer

in 2006, fought the illness while serving on City Council, making it his goal to improve cityowned Winding Creek Golf Course. He spent countless hours at the golf course even after failing in his run to be reelected in 2007. “Even though his tenure on council had stopped, he was still very active and was a member of our Golf Course Committee, so he still visited City Hall trying to improve our golf course, but also would stop by from time to time just to visit and see how things were going. He was someone who would always brighten a room and we always looked forward to his visits.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Tentative date set for trial of former Easley aide RALEIGH (AP) – A federal judge set a tentative April start date Wednesday for the corruption trial of an ex-aide to former North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley, saying prompt resolution was in the best interests of Ruffin Poole and the government. District Judge Terrence Boyle laid out a schedule for the trial to begin the

week of April 26 during a hearing attended by Poole, his defense attorney and lawyers for the government. Earlier this week, Poole defense attorney Joe Zeszotarski wrote in a motion that he would prefer an August start date because of the mountain of government evidence he has to go through, combined with responsibili-

ties for other clients. But Boyle sought to pace the case more quickly than even the U.S. Attorney’s Office, which had suggested a May 17 start in a motion filed last week. Boyle said Zeszotarski would have to deal with his own workload. “It’s in your client’s interest to clear his name if he goes to trial,” Boyle said, adding that it’s also

in the government’s interest to find resolution. A 51-count indictment last month accused Poole of accepting trips and collecting returns of at least 25 percent from investments in coastal developments he helped expedite through regulatory hurdles. Poole was a personal assistant and special counsel to Easley.

CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) – A man police dubbed the Bicycle Bandit has admitted committing eight bank robberies in southern New Jersey and Delaware. Prosecutors say Brian Layton went on a yearlong spree in which he robbed banks in six New Jersey cities and in Wilmington,

Del., and rode away on a bicycle each time. Layton was arrested Sept. 25 while trying to flee from a New Jersey state trooper on the Garden State Parkway in a van and then by foot. Police say Layton dropped a backpack containing cash from

a robbery. The 48year-old pleaded guilty Tuesday before a U.S. District Court judge in Camden. Each of the eight counts against him carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for May 27.

Googe couldn’t provide any other details on the company until it decides to make an official announcement.

The board decided to wait on taking ownership of the bridge until it hears a report from its engineer, County Manager Robert Hyatt said. Hyatt said the N.C. Department of Transportation wants a decision from the county on the bridge, so plans to replace the Interstate 85 bridge over the Yadkin River are “shovel ready.” Some Davidson County officials hope the Wil-Cox Bridge will serve as a pedestrian walkway for thousands of motorists who travel along Interstate 85. The Wil-Cox Bridge is eligible to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Pension funds make up some losses from downturn RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s public employee pension funds gained back some of their losses from the economic downturn. State Treasurer Janet Cowell said on Wednesday pension fund assets saw a 15.1 percent return during the last calendar year compared to an almost 20 percent loss announced a year ago for 2008. That’s boosted the funds’ value to $67 billion as of Dec. 31. The 2009 improvement can be attributed to a nearly 33 percent return on the funds’ stock portfolio.

Another copy of the sex tape has been turned over to federal investigators who have been probing Edwards’ campaign finances, Young has said.

me, and it’s not a comfort to our client,� said Alan Duncan, an attorneys for Hunter, who has said Young invaded her privacy by keeping the video and photographs of her. Young conceded he previously made some errors in his sworn statement but said he has tried his best to detail the location of items Hunter is seeking. “I answered as honestly as I could,� he testified. Young said after the hearing that Elizabeth Edwards has threatened an “alienation of affection� lawsuit against him. North Carolina is among about a half-dozen states that allows a person to sue a third party for contributing to the breakup of a marriage. Jilted spouses typically use the remedy to seek money from their partner’s lover. “We have some very powerful people coming after us,� Young said. “Are we scared? Absolutely.� A spokeswoman and an attorney for Elizabeth Edwards declined to comment. Young said he’s going to fight to prove that he and his family are not liars. Young initially claimed to be the father of Hunter’s child and helped hide her from media and Elizabeth Edwards during the 2008 White House campaign. He detailed in his book the rise and fall of his former boss and the lengths Edwards went to hide his affair and the child he had with Hunter. Young said he found the sex tape in a home he rented for Hunter and that he kept it to corroborate his story.

Wearing a bright orange lifejacket, Baltic embarked Wednesday on a three-day mission alongside his new owner Adam Buczynski, a seaman who pulled him to safety from an ice sheet in the Baltic Sea last month.

Texan gets 9 years for baby trafficking MONTERREY, Mexico – A Texas man and his girlfriend were sentenced to nine years in prison for recruiting Mexican women to give birth in the U.S. and sell their babies to couples there, a judge said Wednesday. Amado Torres, of Harlingen, Texas, and Maria Isabel Hernandez, of Mexico, paid women up to $3,000 for their newborns, Tamaulipas state Judge Jose Luis Bazan told The Associated Press.

At least 15 die in violence in Somali capital MOGADISHU, Somalia – At least 11 civilians and four security officers were killed in the Somali capital Wednesday in two separate incidents of violence, an officer and residents said. Islamic insurgents fired several mortars from Mogadishu’s main Bakara market in the direction of African Union peacekeeping bases in the capital’s south, said Dahir Mohamed, a witness.

Girl, 7, gets OK to be Carnival samba queen RIO DE JANEIRO – A family court judge ruled Wednesday that a 7-year-old girl should be allowed to samba before a crowd of thousands as a Carnival drum corps queen, a coveted role normally reserved for sultry models. Little Julia Lira is scheduled to perform for the packed Sambadrome stadium – and for millions more around the country via live television – early Monday morning when the Viradouro samba group parades.

Doctors were skeptical at first about Evans Monsigrace’s story. They turned into believers, however, after he became lucid enough to tell his tale. He told health care workers he was selling rice in a flea market when the quake destroyed the building, trapping him under the debris – apparently along with water or food.

Marines test Taliban defenses NEAR MARJAH, Afghanistan (AP) – U.S. Marines fired smoke rounds Wednesday and armored vehicles maneuvered close to Taliban positions to test insurgent defenses ahead of an attack on the biggest militant-controlled town in southern Afghanistan. A NATO spokesman in Brussels called on militants holding Marjah to surrender. But a Taliban spokesman boasted the militants were prepared to “sacrifice their lives� to defend the town against the biggest NATO-Afghan offensive of the eight-year war. The date for the main attack by thousands of Marines and Afghan soldiers has not been announced for security reasons. However, preparations have accelerated in recent days, and it appeared the assault would come soon.

US: Enrichment plan hurts cancer patients VIENNA (AP) – A senior U.S. envoy accused Iranian leaders of hypocrisy Wednesday for opting to pursue “ever more dangerous nuclear technology� instead of accepting an international plan to make sure that medical isotopes get to needy Iranian cancer patients. The sharp criticism from Glyn Davies, the chief U.S. delegate to the International Atomic Energy Agency, came a day after Iran began enriching its uranium to a higher level.

Randolph rezoning proposal raises questions I am writing as one of the residents of Jerico Road (in the Caraway area between Archdale and Asheboro) who is actively opposing the proposed rezoning and new subdivision on the road. While I was certainly disappointed with the outcome of the Randolph County Planning Board meeting on Feb. 2, I was even more disappointed with the statement from board member Wayne Joyce, who said, “The days of the big houses are over. … We need these smaller developments to get the economy going again.” Really? What an amazingly short-sighted thing to say. Yes, the national economy is bad right now – and even worse in Randolph County – but with an outlook like this, how can we expect Randolph County to regrow and become healthy again? And, as was pointed out by one of the speakers that evening, there are already more than 800 homes for sale in Randolph County of comparable price, size and quality of the proposed subdivision. Living in Randolph County is attractive (even to those of us like myself who work far outside the

county) because of the reasonable tax rates, easy access and quality of life. We should be encouraging people to live here, in big houses as well as small ones. How else can we hope to lure in new business opportunities, new doctors, new executives and new tax revenue? The only way forward is to look ahead – and to look up. I hope the Randolph County management agrees. JENNY HEINZEN YORK Asheboro

Do Hispanics get needed substance abuse counseling?

I am writing this letter in regards to the topic of minority ethnicity and substance abuse treatment. During my time of employment as a substance abuse counselor, I have come to realize that the nonprofit organization that I work for receives very few Hispanic clients.

I do not have the answers to these particular questions, but the thought has entered my mind of how this is impacting our communities.

City students took a seat

Larry Warlick, 415 Trindale Road, Archdale, NC 27263; 4313860

L

ike thousands of college students across the South, they were inspired by the courage of the four N.C. A&T University students who launched a civil rights sit-in Feb. 1, 1960, at the F.W. Woolworth’s store in Greensboro. However, these High Point teenagers were only high school students. But although they were younger, these students from William Penn and High Point (now Central) high schools, still had a fire in their hearts for ending the racial discrimination at lunch counters in High Point and ending, in general, the inequities of Jim Crow segregation. So on a cold Thursday afternoon 50 years ago today on Feb. 11, 1960, 26 high school students (24 from William Penn High and two from High Point High) walked into the S. Wrenn Street entrance of High Point’s downtown F.W. Woolworth’s and took seats at the store’s white’s only lunch counter – and they became a part of this nation’s civil rights history. At noon today, the February 11th Association will hold its annual prayer vigil on S. Wrenn Street where the former Woolworth’s entrance was located. Today, the site (now an entrance to the Best Western hotel) is marked with a monument erected last year as part of High Point’s sesquicentennial celebration. Like the impact that actions of the “Greensboro Four” had nationwide, the Feb. 11 sit-in by the students in High Point began a series of civil rights demonstrations in this city that over a number of years helped break down the legal barriers of racial segregation. A lasting legacy is that just a few days after the Feb. 11 sit-in and demonstrations that immediately followed, High Point Mayor Jess Washburn appointed a Committee on Human Relations (a forerunner of today’s Human Relations Commission) with the aim of achieving racial harmony. Much has changed here in 50 years, but the courage shown by those 26 high school students has not diminished, and today, their actions stand as a testament that one never is too young to stand up to injustice.

It’s a step toward trash heap for ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’

W

e already know where this is going. For some of us, the knowledge is hateful, for others, hopeful. Yet the inevitable arc of it is clear: Maybe it will be 10 years, maybe 20, but we can now envision a day when the last legal restrictions against gay men and lesbians will be struck away. A future is coming in which they will be fully protected from discrimination in housing and employment, free to fall in love and tell it to the judge, to make end-of-life decisions for their partners, to adopt children. And we will look back, vaguely amazed, that such things were ever in controversy, that there was ever a time sexual orientation was used to deny basic rights and privileges. The latest giant step in that direction was taken last week in a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee. There, Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified in favor of ending the Pentagon’s stricture against gay men and lesbians in the military and of striking down the 17-year-old “don’t ask, don’t tell” law under which they are required to hide their sexual orientation in order to serve. The Pentagon has ordered a review of the potential impact of repealing the law. “Speaking for myself and myself only,” said Adm. Mullen, “it is my personal belief that allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly would be the right thing to do. No matter how I look at this issue, I cannot escape being troubled by the fact that we have in place a policy which forces young men and women to lie about who they are in order to defend their fellow citizens.” And if some of us found that a bracing statement of a self-evident principle, others were unconvinced. Indeed, Republican Sen. John McCain, more politically agile now that he has jettisoned the weight of integrity, promptly reversed a 4-yearold promise that he would be guided in this matter by the opinion of military leaders, instead pronouncing himself “deeply disappointed” by Mullen and Gates’ testimony. There is always someone who fights a rearguard action against progress, and if he is still

around to see how his words play in the history books 20 years from now, it will be entertaining to hear how McCain explains himself. That said, one’s satisfaction in knowing the military is poised to end its sexual segregation must OPINION balance against the frustration of how long it took to get here. After Leonard all, the basic architecture of this Pitts issue has not changed since 1993. ■■■ Gay people haven’t changed. Service hasn’t changed. No, what has changed is us. We watched “Will & Grace,” we made gay friends, we found some measure of the acceptance that had always eluded us. There is a temptation to say this is just the way progress moves, that time must be allowed to do its work. We do the right thing – eventually. It is seductive, this idea that you and I have the right to put a timetable on other people’s freedom, that they deserve it when we are ready for them to have it and that until then, they should simply endure, simply be patient. But if it is wrong now to deny a man the right to serve because he is gay, that means it was wrong then. If it is a foolish waste of resources now to kick a woman out because she is a lesbian, that means it was a foolish waste then. If “don’t ask, don’t tell” is a cowardly compromise with hysteria and homophobia now, then it always was. So one’s satisfaction in this inevitable march of progress is tempered by a recognition of how many careers and futures were needlessly broken along the way. We know where this is going, but that doesn’t mitigate vexation at the fact that we could have been there long ago but for stupid intransigence and fear. Patience is such an easy word to say.

Maybe the Great Recession is slowing down a bit

T

here are small signs that the Great Recession is starting to shift gears. New employment statistics show U.S. companies are not shedding jobs in record numbers. Under more normal circumstances losses would still be seen as a negative, but after the dips we’ve seen these past two years, less can now be seen as more. However, that has more to do with the big corporations than the people who no longer work for them. It doesn’t really create a picture of what it’s like for the middle class. Sure, there have been a few families used as examples on the evening news to illustrate what a forecloOPINION sure looks like on the ground Martha R. level. But, it Carr can be difficult to give an accurate portrayal of what’s happening to millions of people while in the middle of the story. Researchers will go back after it’s all over and collect the data to compile a more accurate view of what this roller coaster ride was really like for all of us. We already have a good idea of what caused the Great Recession but there will also be surprises when Wall Street inevitably gets around to writing tell-all books. None of that helps the pain we’re going through now but perhaps it’ll help to know we were capable of surviving what will probably turn out to be a match for the maelstrom of the Great Depression. There are a few facts we already have that give us

glimpses into how bad it’s been and that it might be getting better and can help us all to hang in there. Since the official beginning of the Great Recession in December 2007, the number of long-term unemployed has risen by 5 million, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Long-term is defined as anyone who has been searching for a job for longer than 27 weeks. The number doesn’t include those who have become so discouraged they’ve given up or anyone who took a part-time gig but really wants or needs full-time employment. The USDL refers to this last category as involuntary part-time workers. The last statistic, though, about the under-employed, is where it’s possible to catch a glimpse of the economy starting to shown signs of life for the masses. In January, their numbers fell from 9.2 million to 8.3 million people. Some sectors actually showed signs of growth in January. Employment in the retail trade rose by 42,000 after remaining flat during the height of the holiday season. Grocery stores gained 14,000 new jobs, clothing stores added 13,000 and general merchandise retailers now have 10,000 new employees. It takes corporate optimism to buy more

goods and hire more people to sell them. There’s an assumption that consumers will have money and spend it. This often becomes selffulfilling just as it did in the beginning when everything came to a screeching halt. The new census will show short term changes such as if the upheaval created waves of migration to other parts of the country, much like the Depression as people searched for work and tried to leave behind lost homes and jobs. These migrations can cause a shift in how much money different areas receive in federal assistance or the number of congressmen that represent them. That, in turn, has a lasting affect on a state’s ability to dictate favorable legislation. All of that, though, comes later. Right now, we are gazing longingly at the job statistics as the first barometer of real change in our favor. So, take heart in the small upticks and hang in there. America is still in business and at some point we’ll all have to get back to work. MARTHA RANDOLPH CARR’S column is distributed exclusively by Cagle Cartoons Inc. newspaper syndicate.

aving missed four days of school last week due to our unexpected winter vacation, many people have commented to me, “If this keeps up, you will be going to school all summer!� It has been reassuring to know that will not be the case in Guilford County. At first glance, I am sure that parents and the public in general felt as though the 2009-10 school calendar for Guilford County schools contained an inordinate amount of teacher workdays. Now I would like to give the persons who designed this year’s calendar a medal! It certainly is working out to the educational advantage of our students. So far, we are making up the four days missed on Feb. 18 and 19 and on April 23 and 26, all teacher workdays. If we miss three more days, they will be made up on May 28 (the Friday before Memorial Day) and on March 29 and 30 (the first two days of spring break). There would not be an additional student day added to the end of school unless we get to snow day No. 8 (and let’s all hope that does not happen – enough with the snow already!). The logic for making up those instructional days before endof-grade tests in May is that students will benefit from more instructional time before the tests instead of after them. By June 10, our scheduled last day, students of all ages are in no mood to learn new material, so it is a bit pointless to tag on instructional days to the end of the school year except to end up with the appropriate number of school days. Two things that promote optimal learning and achievement in school are high expectations and solid, consistent implementation of curricular programs. Sadly,

the snow days of last week really interfered with the consistency we had established with many students following our Christmas break. It will LESSONS take awhile to get LEARNED some students back on track Paula – another reason Williams we don’t need any ■■■more snow days this school year. (I’m not in charge of the weather, however.) I am certainly grateful, though, that our county did have the foresight to have a plan for our school calendar that will give us the most meaningful instructional days possible even in the event of winter weather. Tom Seaver, a former Major League Baseball pitcher and considered the greatest player in New York Mets history, once said: “In baseball, my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers. If you dwell on statistics you get shortsighted; if you aim for consistency, the numbers will be there at the end.� I certainly believe that consistency is the backbone of meaningful teaching. I also think that staying true to the best practices that we know work for children and giving them many opportunities to practice what they learn is the key. So thank you, county planners and school board, for the foresight to plan a calendar that looks like it will really benefit our students this year, and let’s all hope we really don’t get to snow day No. 8!

NASA studies 2 new shuttle problems CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) – NASA is taking a close look at two new problems on space shuttle Endeavour. A round ceramic spacer near one of the cockpit windows is sticking out. And a thermal tile repair that was made before the flight has failed, and the original crack is back, right over the cockpit. Mission management team leader LeRoy Cain said Wednesday that neither problem appears to be serious. But he said everyone wants to be “very vigilant and take a closer look� in case spacewalking repairs are needed. NASA has been extra careful about such matters since Columbia was brought down by a cracked wing in 2003. The good news Wednesday was that Endeavour’s

LOS ANGELES (AP) – A new ship to detect chemical and biological weapons has been launched to protect the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department said Wednesday it started using the $3 million vessel this week. It is staffed by explosives experts and equipped with tools to screen cargo ships for

threats before they enter the nation’s busiest port complex. The experts board the ships and screen for substances used for weapons of mass destruction. Deputies have also added a helicopter to screen for radioactive material, while the ship’s sonar system looks for underwater threats. The ships are subject to further inspection when they enter the ports.

Arnold won’t seek re-election

WHO’S NEWS

----

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISES STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – County officials started their series of farewells Wednesday for Republican Commissioner Steve Arnold. The High Point Republican, who has served for 20 years, said this week he won’t seek re-election to the District 2 seat on the Guilford County Board of Commissioners. Arnold became the board’s senior Republican. “I plan to pursue other opportunities,” Arnold, a builder and developer, said Wednesday. “I’ve held offices for 20 years. That is plenty of time. I want to thank the citizens of High Point and Guilford County for their support and encouragement over the years.” Arnold said his business opportunities will probably require more travel. Democratic Commissioner Bruce Davis of High Point said he was slightly surprised that Arnold had decided not to run. “You seemed satisfied and enjoying the work,” Democratic Commissioner Kay Cashion told Arnold following a budget session with school district officials that Davis also attended. Arnold, a former board chairman, made his political reputation as a staunch conservative. Amid speculation that he might run for High Point mayor, Arnold did not rule out seeking public office again. “I would not exclude the possibility that I would do like Commissioner Paul Gibson has done and take a couple of terms out and come back,” Arnold said. “It’s not totally out that I would run for a different office. There are always possibilities.” Over the last two years, Arnold’s $12 million 2007 bankruptcy case has been a focus of attention. Arnold said his business problems were not a factor in his political decision, however. “I trust that people believe that I have been faithful to the commitments I have made in public life,” Arnold said. “I have always supported and tried to advance conservative principles in local government. I thank the people for that opportunity.” dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

A proposal to convert unused Allen Jay Middle School into an extended day school is under consideration.

Magnet plan considered for Allen Jay BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Allen Jay Middle School in High Point could become a dedicated middle school with special programs and a longer school year when it reopens in 2012 if school officials approve a new plan. Members of the Guilford County Board of Education seemed to favor the idea Tuesday. School days would begin at 7:30 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. on weekdays and run from 8 a.m. to noon on two Saturdays each month. The school would serve students in grades five through eight. Superintendent Mo Green responded to several specific questions

about longer years, bus schedules, Saturday meals, higher staff salaries and sports teams. For most questions, he had the same answer. “All of this is under consideration,” Green

Allen Jay Middle closed in 2007 and was the temporary home of Union Hill Elementary. said. “What we do know is that this is about academics. Students and their parents would want to be a part of it.” A 2008 school bond proj-

ect, Allen Jay is scheduled for renovations for use as a small middle school. The project currently has a $12.1 million budget and scheduled completion date of 2012. College readiness and leadership development would be major school themes. The district’s strategic plan calls for expanding choice options for students and includes opening a middle school that provides students with extended learning time. As a magnet school, Allen Jay could be available to all district students, with the approval of school leaders. As a traditional middle school, Allen Jay could draw students from Union Hill Elementary and Allen

Jay Elementary in High Point. It also could take students from Jamestown and Southern middle schools. Green said the school has the opportunity to become “a crown jewel” for the district. Allen Jay Middle closed in 2007 and was the temporary home of Union Hill Elementary until last fall while the new Union Hill was under construction. As a 2008 school bond project, Allen Jay is due $12.1 million in renovations. Following the discussion, Chairman Alan Duncan told the school planning team to bring more details to the board.

In addition to his commissioner role, Frye serves on area boards such as the Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation and the Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority. “I’ve helped move our county along, and there are still some issues there,” Frye said. Maynard, a knitting machine technician at Harriss & Covington for seven years, is making his first bid for public office. “I want to try to do something for my community, and this is the best way I know to do it. He (Frye) has been in there 28 years, and I feel like it’s time for new ideas,” Maynard said.

Stroke kills Discovery Channel’s ‘Deadliest Catch’ captain ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – Phil Harris, the fishing boat captain whose adventures off the Alaska coast were captured on the television show “Deadliest Catch”, has died, the Discovery Channel said Tuesday night. He was 53. Harris suffered what his family described as a massive stroke on Jan. 29 while the fishing vessel he captained, Cornelia Marie, was in port at St. Paul Island, Alaska. The fisherman was flown to Anchorage for surgery. The reality show, which has filmed five seasons, has been one of the Discovery Channel’s most popular and depicts the crab fishing industry in the dangerous waters off Alaska. “It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dad - Captain Phil Harris.

Davidson commissioners to hear report on jail, courthouse needs BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The Davidson County Board of Commissioners will hear a report on the county’s jail and courthouse needs during its annual retreat at the former Davidson Academy today. County Manager Robert Hyatt said Wednesday that a committee had previously decided to study the courthouse further because the jail’s occupancy is no longer at a premium. County officials had been trying to find the ideal site for a new jail for more than year to alleviate overcrowding at the current facility. “We’ve talked with an architecture firm to further explore the courthouse piece since so much time before was on the jail piece,� Hyatt said. “We need to do a little a little bit more work on the courthouse piece. We’ve talked with the firm, the jail courthouse committee met a couple of weeks ago with the architect and put together a scope of services. We are going to present that to the board and see if they are OK with moving forward with piece of work.� At a Board of Commissioners meeting last year, Brian Shipwash, clerk of superior court in Davidson County, presented

AP

Greg Taylor (left) enters the courtroom on the first day of his hearing Tuesday in front of the North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission in Raleigh. Taylor, 47, of Cary, has been imprisoned for almost 17 years for a murder he says he didn’t commit. He appeared before a three-judge panel that could release him.

Blood expert testifies in hearing for NC man RALEIGH (AP) – A state agent should not have omitted results of follow-up blood tests from his lab report, and other officials were wrong with they testified that blood was found on the man’s truck, a blood expert testified Wednesday at a special hearing to determine if a man convicted of murder will go free. Tom Bevel, a blood splatter expert and professor at the University of Central Oklahoma, testified before a threejudge panel hearing the case of Greg Taylor that the first tests, or presumptive tests, of sub-

stances believed to be blood came back positive on two items. So the agent, Duane Deaver, conducted follow-up, or confirmatory tests. Those results came back negative, Bevel said, analyzing and interpreting Deaver’s lab notes. A presumptive test can bring a false-positive for items such as vegetation or heavy metals, he said. But those negative results weren’t included in the lab report that Deaver filed, Bevel said. And agents with the City-County Bureau of Investigation, who testified at trial that tests

showed the presence of blood, should have clarified that they based their statements on the presumptive tests. Both the agents and Deaver were wrong, Bevel said. “You report what the results are, positive or negative,� he said of Deaver. And of the CCBI agents’ trial testimony, he said: “If you get a negative, you cannot say you have blood.� If Taylor killed Thomas, then blood should have been found on his vehicle or clothing, he said. “Blood is uncontrollable,� Bevel said. Wake County Assis-

tant District Attorney Tom Ford cross-examined Bevel, yelling at the witness at least once. “I’m not following you,� Bevel said to a question. “I know I’m not following you,� Ford shouted back, standing at the witness stand. Superior Court Judge Howard Manning indicated his impatience with the trial’s slow pace, interrupting Ford at one point to say: “One of two things is possible,� he said about the victim’s body position. Either she moved herself before she died or someone moved her, he said.

the “Main Street Option,� which called on the county to purchase or enter into negotiations for the Lexington Home Brands property that adjoins up to Main Street in Lexington. Shipwash suggested that if the county purchased the property, the sheriff’s office could take over the current courthouse to expand the jail and its operations. According to Shipwash, courthouse employees are having to use bathrooms that currently are in use for storage. Shipwash previously said the courthouse normally has about 125 citizens waiting to get into the facility, but can’t because fire code prohibits that many people to be in the hallways. Aside from jail and courthouse needs, commissioners will discuss county finances and an ethics policy among several issues. Hyatt said Sheriff David Grice will also give a presentation on the county’s animal shelter, which is currently operated by the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office. “The sheriff has some questions about the operations of the shelter,� Hyatt said. “... He has questioned if that is a good fit for it. He seems to think that there may be a better department to operate it.� dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

ear Abby: My husband, “Kent,� and I enjoy entertaining. We often throw birthday parties for friends, as well as holiday parties and dinners and barbecues during the summer. The problem is, whenever we receive an invitation to attend a gathering at someone else’s home, Kent responds with, “Ask them to come here.� I think this is rude because our friends are just reciprocating. This issue came up twice last week. When I asked Kent why he doesn’t like to go to our friends’ homes, he says he prefers to entertain in his own house. I don’t think it is good manners to ask a host to move the party to our home. Incidentally, when we do go, Kent always enjoys himself, so it’s not social anxiety, and he’s definitely not shy. Would you tell me if I’m making too much of this? – Embarrassed in Alaska Dear Embarrassed: I don’t think so. While your husband’s impulse to host the party might seem generous the first few times the offer is extended – after a while the burden of gratitude can hang heavy and destroy friendships. That’s why it is important for people to be able to reciprocate – and for others to allow them to. Dear Abby: I have been dating a man for four years. I told him I am ready to end our re-

lationship if he isn’t ready to get married within the next year. Two months ago, he ADVICE gave me a beautiful Dear 21⠄2-carat Abby diamond ■■■ring and announced to family and friends that we are engaged. He has not discussed any wedding plans, but he says the wedding will be within the time frame I am asking for. I went to a jeweler today to have the band on my ring enlarged a bit and was told that my stone is not a real diamond. Abby, this man owns his own business and is wealthy! He spends thousands on golf trips every year and just spent a great deal of money on high-end house furnishings. My head is spinning. I am embarrassed to tell anyone of this fraud. What is your take on this? Do I confront him? Am I fooling myself thinking that this man truly wants to marry me? – Dumbfounded Or Just Dumb? in Florida Dear Dumbfounded: My “take� on this is that your fiance was trying to pull a fast one. If he would behave this way about your engagement ring, what else would he be less than honest about in the future?

Whether you “confront� him or not depends upon how you define the word. If it were me, I’d remain calm, tell him what I’d learned and how, listen to what he had to say and take my cue from that. Dear Abby: Please remind your readers that a nice thing to do on Valentine’s Day is to go to a veteran’s hospital to visit the veterans who are there – especially those from World War II, whose numbers are dwindling. The wards generally have parties going on for them. Try to attend. You’ll find a group of very appreciative people there. – Service Officer, American Legion Post in Maine Dear Officer: Thank you for a terrific suggestion. Valentine’s Day – with all the marketing that goes with it – can be one of the most depressing days of the year for singles. A sure way to keep the blues away is to do something nice for someone else. What you’re proposing not only fits that category, but also provides a way to meet other generoushearted people. What better way to spend this coming Sunday afternoon? DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Spinal stenosis can cause back pain D

ear Dr. Donohue: I’m a 67-year-old woman whose back has been acting up for a year. My doctor told me I have spinal stenosis and to take Tylenol for it. The Tylenol doesn’t kill the pain all the time. My doctor says I just have to learn to live with it. I would like a second opinion from you. Is there something that can be done? – L.A.

BLONDIE

A diagnosis of spinal stenosis indicates that the spinal canal has narrowed. The spinal canal is a tunnel that runs through the backbones (vertebrae). It provides a home for the spinal cord and the spinal nerves sprouting from the cord. It’s more than a home; it’s a place of protection for these delicate structures. When the narrowing is in the lower back, as it often is, it presses on spinal nerves and causes back pain. What causes the narrowing? Osteoarthritis of the backbones is one cause. Another is calcium spurs that form on the backbones and press on nerves. Backbone ligaments thicken, and they, too, can encroach on nerves. The pain of spinal stenosis is worse when standing or walking, and improves on sitting. Spinal stenosis is rare before age 60, so aging is another cause of this problem. Many things can be

done. One is physical therapy. The therapist will teach you exercises that can HEALTH reduce the pressure Dr. Paul on spinal Donohue nerves. One ■■■ special area of attention is the abdominal muscles. With weak abdominal muscles, the lower back curves inward, and that adds to the encroachment on spinal nerves. Walking with a slight forward bend at the waist is one way to relieve nerve pressure. Some doctors prescribe a corset for their spinal stenosis patients. The corset helps open the spinal canal. It is worn only for a few hours during the day. Constant use weakens back muscles. If Tylenol doesn’t relieve your pain, you can step up to a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, like Motrin or Advil. Steroid injections in the area of spinal stenosis – epidural injections – reduce inflammation and can expand the canal. A surgical consultation will explain surgical corrections and whether they will benefit you. Dear Dr. Donohue: I take the blood thinner Coumadin because I developed atrial fibril-

lation. I didn’t get any dietary instructions when I started the drug. My sister is also taking it, and she says she was told not to eat lettuce or spinach. Why not? It wouldn’t break my heart to give up either. – R.D. Coumadin prevents unwanted clots from forming in the circulation. That’s popularly called “blood thinning.” Atrial fibrillation is an abnormal heart rhythm that fosters clot formation. That’s the reason why so many patients take this drug. Coumadin works by countering the action of vitamin K. It’s the vitamin needed by the body for the manufacture of clotting factors, proteins essential to the formation of blood clots. Spinach, lettuce, Brussels sprouts, kale, turnip greens, broccoli and cabbage are sources of vitamin K. Too much of them could override the effect of Coumadin. If you haven’t changed your diet, and if your blood tests for the action of Coumadin are good, then you don’t need to change a thing in your diet. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Richardson relishes Olympic life T

here’s no “what if?” floating aimlessly through Heather Richardson’s mind these days. As in, “What if I hadn’t committed my life to speedskating?” “What if I were a junior in college somewhere?” “What if I were watching the Vancouver Olympics on TV instead of competing in the Games?” No, even as Richardson worked toward her diploma at High Point Central in 2007, her future course had been set. “Just because I was so focused on getting out here, no,” Richardson replied when asked if she’d made college plans SPORTS back then. “I would hopefully think that I would be in college, Steve and I do plan on starting after Hanf the Olympics next year. I’ll just ■■■ see how that goes.” First, Richardson and the world will see how it goes in the 500-, 1,000- and 1,500-meter long-track speedskating events for which the 20-year-old qualified. Her shot at Olympic glory, just three years after shifting from inline skating to the ice, comes in less than a week. Night school, and a career track toward her goal of becoming a dental hygienist, can wait. After Richardson graduated from High Point Central, she finished up her last inline skating competition with the U.S. World Team, spent two weeks at home and then packed up all her belongings. Kearns, Utah, was her destination – home of US Speedskating just outside of Salt Lake City. “I definitely miss a lot of my family and friends,” Richardson said during a recent phone conversation. “That’s the only hard part, I would say.” Once the training began, Richardson quickly proved herself a worthy pupil. Her initial goal of appearing in the 2014 Olympics gave way to immediate success, and she left for Vancouver on Tuesday, validation of time and money well spent. The athletes are paid each month for living and training expenses by the U.S. Olympic Committee, but only Olympians of the highest profile – think Michael Phelps and all his endorsements – bring home substantial funds. Richardson said her parents – High Point’s Jeff and Pat Richardson – each are working two jobs to lend their support, and

made the switch from inline skates. The daily routines, however arduous, do provide a level of comfort, though. “I think it’s nice having a set routine,” Richardson said. “I always like knowing what I’m going to do the next day instead of having something pop up.” The athletes also do plenty of reading thanks to an impromptu book club at the oval. The team members – including past Olympians Jennifer Rodriguez and Elli Ochowicz – don’t live together, but enjoy friendly relationships despite the fact they’re competing against one another for Olympic berths and spots on the medal podium. “It’s actually very nice. Of course we’re competitive on the ice, but as soon as we’re off the ice we’re best friends,” Richardson said. “We trade books – we’re all into the same books. It’s nice to have that. We’re all pretty close.” Added Ryan Shimabukuro, head coach of US Speedskating’s long track sprint training program: “She’s one of the favorites on the team, gets along with everyone.” While not one of the favorites to medal in this first Olympics, Richardson nonetheless is enjoying the ride. She’s looking forward to seeing her parents and a few friends from her inline skating days at the Games. So far in Vancouver, Team USA members have spent time getting processed into the Olympic Village, learning details for opening ceremonies, U.S. SPEEDSKATING receiving their Olympic gear – minor behindHigh Point’s Heather Richardson hopes to de- the-scenes details. liver rock-solid Olympic performances in the On the ice, Richardson and her teammates 500, 1,000 and 1,500 meters at the Vancouver spent time recovering from their final block Games. of hard training in Utah.

Another Daytona wreck collects champ Johnson DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) – Jimmie Johnson’s quest for a fifth straight NASCAR title will begin in a secondary car. Johnson was involved in the latest wreck at Daytona International Speedway on Wednesday, doing enough damage that crew chief Chad Knaus decided to scrap the primary car for Sunday’s season-opening race. “I was just riding along and thought everything was fine, and the next thing you know, I was in the middle of it,” Johnson said. Joey Logano also got caught up in the accident during the second practice at Daytona International Speedway. Mike Bliss triggered it when he lost control of his car coming out of a turn. Bliss turned sideways, seemingly got tapped by Derrick Cope, then shot across the track and rammed into Logano. Logano also was forced into a secondary car. Kyle

Busch weaved through the wreckage and avoided any damage. The two practice sessions had several other harrowing moments. Clint Bowyer started a three-car accident in the first session when he cut a tire, hit the wall and collected David Reutimann and 1990 Daytona 500 champion Derrick Cope. Bowyer and Reutimann went to backup cars. Two-time Daytona 500 winner Michael Waltrip and fan favorite Dale Earnhardt Jr. narrowly avoided wrecks in the second session. Waltrip spun and drove through the infield grass, but managed to not hit anything. Earnhardt got a little sideways after getting bumped from behind by Denny Hamlin, but Junior got the car straightened out at 190 mph. Earnhardt said over his radio that Hamlin “doesn’t know how to bump draft.”

igh Point University’s men’s basketball team looks to fire the shot heard around the Big South Conference tonight. The Panthers play host to league-leading Coastal Carolina at 7 p.m. in the Millis Center. Coastal enters with a 21-4 overall record and an 11-2 conference mark. Radford and Winthrop share second at 9-4. High Point, meanwhile, sports an 11-12

overall mark and a 6-6 conference record that leaves the Panthers sixth in the mix. The Chants can take a giant step toward wrapping up the regular-season crown with a victory. The Panthers can shake things up in a major way if they pull the upset. There are reasons to like HPU’s chances in this one. The Panthers own an 8-1 home record this season, with the only blemish a 94-91 loss to VMI on Jan. 23. Four of HPU’s

next six games are at home, so tonight’s game could serve as the springboard to a late-season surge. HPU’s Nick Barbour and Eugene Harris have picked up their offensive pace in recent games. And Coastal could be caught looking ahead to Saturday’s crucial showdown at Radford. It all adds up to an intriguing matchup tonight.

Julius Peppers no longer wants a long-term contract with Carolina, saying the Panthers have ignored him this offseason. In an interview aired on Charlotte radio station WFNZAM, the fivetime Pro Bowl defensive end indicated he’s irritated by the team’s “silence” and has changed his stance on whether he wants to continue his career in Carolina. “Last year, that was the option that I wanted most,” Peppers said. “Now it’s not.” Team officials haven’t announced their plans for the impending free agent. Peppers had 101⁄2 sacks and made the Pro Bowl this season.

Mohammed’s late dunk lifts Bobcats MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Nazr Mohammed’s dunk with 5.3 seconds left led the Charlotte Bobcats to a 93-92 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night. Minnesota outscored Charlotte 22-13 in the fourth quarter and took a three-point lead with less than a minute to play. But after Boris Diaw missed a shot with less than 10 seconds left and the Bobcats trailing by a point, Timberwolves forward Corey Brewer saved the ball under his own basket. The ball caromed off Al Jefferson and into the hands of Mohammed, who slammed the ball for the winning points. Stephen Jackson tied a season high with four 3-pointers and finished with 33 points, while Mohammed had 21 points and a seasonhigh 20 rebounds. Al Jefferson scored 19 points for Minnesota.

OSU’s Pryor has arthroscopic surgery on right knee

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor has undergone arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. Team spokeswoman Shelly Poe confirms that Pryor had what she calls routine surgery. She says it will require only minimal rehabilitation and if the Buckeyes had a game next week, Pryor would be available to play. A heralded recruit out of Jeannette, Pa., Pryor has started for Ohio State the past two seasons. He capped his sophomore season with a terrific performance in the Rose Bowl last month, passing for a career-high 266 yards and two touchdowns against Oregon. He also rushed for 72 more and threw a 17-yard scoring pass to seal a 26-17 victory.

Wednesday night’s Duke at North Carolina and Virginia Tech at N.C. State men’s basketball games ended too late to be included in today’s edition of The High Point Enterprise. Look for stories and boxscores in Friday’s edition.

Hurricanes beat Jackets at buzzer THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – After missing a chance to seal the win, James Dews made a 15-footer at the buzzer Wednesday night to give Miami a 64-62 victory over No. 20 Georgia Tech. Dews missed the front end of a one-and-one with 19 seconds left, then Iman Shumpert hit a layup for Tech to tie the game with 10 seconds to go. That capped a comeback by the Yellow Jackets, who trailed by 14 early in the second half. Following a timeout, the Hurricanes moved the length of the court and Durand Scott fed Dews, who swished the winning shot. The Hurricanes (17-7, 3-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) won for only the second time in the past eight games. Georgia Tech (17-7, 5-5) fell to 1-4 on the road in the league, while Miami improved to 11-1 at home this season.

CLEMSON 77, FLORIDA STATE 67 CLEMSON, S.C. – David Potter and Andre Young each had career highs of 19 points as Clemson ended a four-game losing streak to Florida State with a 77-67 victory Wednesday night. The Tigers (17-7, 5-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) had come in having lost four of five this season, the one-time ACC contenders in danger of falling even further out of the muddled league chase. Instead, Potter and Young’s outside shooting proved the difference against the taller, stronger front line of Florida State (17-7, 5-5). Luke Loucks had 15 points to lead Florida State. Solomon Alabi added 14, but fouled out with 3:33 to go.

REGION DAYTON 75, CHARLOTTE 47 DAYTON, Ohio – Chris Wright scored a careerhigh 30 points Wednesday to lead Dayton to a 75-47 victory over Charlotte, tightening the Atlantic 10 race. Dayton (17-6, 6-3), who was the preseason favorite to win the A10, has rebounded from consecutive one-point conference losses with three straight victories to help create a logjam of seven teams with either two or three losses. Charlotte (18-6, 8-2) entered the game alone in first place but fell into a tie with Xavier and Richmond. Shamari Spears led Charlotte with 12 points.

Jimmie Johnson (left) and Mark Martin talk as they prepare for practice at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. on Wednesday. Martin starts from the pole in today’s first Twin 150 qualifying race, while Johnson starts fourth in the opening 150, but must drop to the back of the pack after wrecking in practice later Wednesday.

Drafting concerns vary for Twin 150s BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Now comes the first big test of NASCAR’s “boys, have at it” policy of very little restriction on bump-drafting. The initial implementation of the rule, which lets a trailing car shove the one in front of it anywhere on the track, did not result in the wholesale carnage that some expected in last Saturday night’s tame Shootout at Daytona International Speedway. The only major wreck came when Jeff Gordon tapped Greg Biffle and triggered a sixcar pileup, but Biffle said that a tire losing air helped send him out of control. The stakes are higher today in the Duels – two 150-lap races that will set the starting field

NEED TO QUALIFY

The 13 drivers battling for four Daytona 500 starting positions that will be determined in today’s 150-mile qualifying races: Michael Waltrip, Reed Sorenson, Max Papis, Jeff Fuller, Terry Cook, Michael McDowell, Kirk Shelmerdine, Mile Bliss, Casey Mears, Dave Blaney. Derek Cope, Mike Wallace, Norm Benning.

for Sunday’s 52nd running of the Daytona 500. The prospect for wrecks is greater because 13 drivers (seven in the first race, six in the second) will be pushing and shoving trying to secure one of four remaining spots in the 43-

car field for the 500 by way of being the first or second finisher in each event who were either not in the top 35 in last year’s owner points or were among four others who have locked up spots (Bill Elliott, Joe Nemechek and Scott Speed on qualifying speed and Bobby Labonte through a past champions provisional). The question is, how much pushing will it take to send cars out of control? Jeff Gordon said he doesn’t expect a lot of shoving among those already in the 500. “I think guys are going to be a little smarter in the Duels,” Gordon said. “That’s your 500 car. You can’t really do much bump-drafting here at Daytona. You can do it down the straightaways on a two-or-three lap shootout like that. So I would

think if there’s a caution with a few laps to go, you’ll see it. Once we get to the 500, that’s a totally different deal. Man, it’s the Daytona 500 and everybody is going to be going for it and you’re going to see a lot more risk being taken and for good reason. That’s an important trophy that we all want. You’ll see plenty of action and plenty of bump-drafting.” Kevin Harvick, who won the Shootout, said cars this time can be pushed more than in previous years. The cars are equipped with a metal strip down the back glass and rear deck to help increase stability. “The cars, they just felt fast,” Harvick said. “But they were very forgiving, as well. You could get the cars really sideways, so I could be very aggressive with my race car. Even

when the thing would get dead sideways, you could stay late in the gas. You could steer the thing and drive the car. “That’s probably not the way you want to drive it every lap, but you were just going 25-, 50-lap increments, so it didn’t really matter. But the car felt very forgiving to me. It felt like the speed was there. When you fell behind and had to lift off the gas if you got tight or loose, you could make that ground up pretty fast.” The speed is there because cars are equipped with carburetor restrictor plates with the biggest openings since 1987. The plates have four holes that restrict the flow of fuel in the carburetor. The openings this time are 63/64 of an inch in diameter. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

n addition to the two Daytona 500 qualifying races, today’s schedule at Daytona includes time trials that will determine the starting field for Friday night’s 250-mile Truck race. A total of 42 drivers are expected to vie for the 36 starting positions. Ron Hornaday, who drives for Kevin Harvick Inc., is the defending series champion and is the favorite to win his third title in four years. His biggest challenge is expected to come from Mike Skinner, who returns in Trucks owned by Randy Moss. Other potential championship contenders include Skinner’s teammate David Starr, veterans Rick Crawford, Matt Crafton, Stacy Compton, Aric Almirola and Johnny Sauter, plus third-year driver Timothy Peters. Todd Bodine will also fall into the contender category if his team picks up sponsorship for the entire season.

Bison celebrate college plans BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Three more wins for the High Point Central football team this season added up to three more players joining college programs. Last year’s 6-6 Bison squad celebrated Rickey Dowdy’s signing day with N.C. State. A 2009 Central team that finished 9-3 saw Akeem Langham choose Elon, Martize Smith land at St. Augustine’s, AlDaQuan Teasley go to Averett and Jimmy Moorman pick Louisburg. “To know I have a school supportive of me and congratulating me, I really appreciated it,” Smith said of Wednesday’s festivities, delayed a week from the NCAA’s official signing day because of snow. Bison coach Wayne Jones said the players earned their chances to play college football and the celebration at Central. “It shows the fact these kids started putting in a lot more work,” Jones praised. “It’s a real good group that’s a stepping stone for our whole team to build around, good student-athletes.” Smith, a stout offensive lineman, signed with St. Augustine’s, the Raleigh school in the NCAA Division II Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Falcons coaches made it clear early on that they needed help on the O-line right away and wanted Smith to be a part of it. “On my visit, I liked it, they wanted me pretty bad, and it was my best offer,” said Smith, who plans to choose a major after exploring his freshman classes. “It’s a really good fit for me: a Histori-

cally Black College, smaller classrooms – I couldn’t ask for anything besides that.” Teasley, who battled through injuries during his Bison days, said he’ll continue to play running back for Averett University, the NCAA D-III member of the USA South Conference. The Danville, Va., school was closer to home than other contenders such as Methodist and N.C. Wesleyan, and Teasley said he felt an early bond with the coaches and players. “They came to me, said they liked my style of play, the coaches treated my family well,” said Teasley, who plans to major in Business Management. “I’ve got to thank my coaches for teaching me how to play the game the right way and giving me the opportunity to play at the next level.” Moorman figured to have plenty of offers to keep playing after landing two straight defensive player of the year honors in the Metro 4A and then Piedmont Triad 4A conferences. Hurt by his size, though – listed at 5-foot-10 – Moorman decided on the junior college route at Louisburg, located about 30 minutes east of Raleigh. “Louisburg came to me at the beginning of the season, showed a lot of interest, said I can be a really big thing for the program,” said the standout linebacker, who played in the middle for Central and likely will shift to the outside in college. “I liked the student life, and after two years there (other coaches) can really see my talent and hopefully I can sign with a Division I school.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Langham rises with Phoenix BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – After Elon University offered Akeem Langham a scholarship, he fielded phone calls from other coaches but didn’t give anybody else much of a look. Kind of like what opposing quarterbacks did with the High Point Central star: They might have made the mistake of throwing his way once, but didn’t give his area of the secondary much thought after that. After recording five interceptions last fall and 13 for his career to go along with countless other big plays, Langham signed a National Letter of Intent last Wednesday with the Phoenix. Yesterday, friends, family and faculty celebrated the scholarship a week after snow wiped out the first scheduled event. “It’s exciting,” Langham said. “I’ve been planning and seeing this day for a while. I want to give a lot of thanks to High Point Central for helping me become what I am.” The feeling is mutual.

“His competitive nature, his effort and energy is that of a winner,” Bison coach Wayne Jones said. “His effort was contagious to the other kids.” The three-time all-conference performer was a game-changer that Elon had been eying for a while. Langham said coaches told him they needed to make sure of the player’s skills at man-to-man coverage, and those questions were answered – oddly enough – at a Duke football camp. “I knew there’d be other coaches there,” Langham remarked. “Elon was the first to offer, I took my visit and liked it: The education, it’s a really good university. As a football program, they’re a lot better. It’s like being at Central – I want to be part of something that’s improving.” And that’s why Langham turned away other would-be suitors. Elon had plenty to offer, after all. The cornerback, who said he hopes to play early in his career, plans to study either Political Science or pre-law. As for the football team, Pete Lembo guided the NCAA Di-

vision I Football Championship Subdivision member to a 9-3 overall record, 7-1 Southern Conference mark and berth in the playoffs for the first time ever last year, and Elon ended the season ranked in the top 10 in both major FCS polls. Langham’s choice certainly pleased Central Principal Revonda Johnson, who graduated from Elon. “When I go back for Homecoming I can cheer for somebody I know,” she told Wednesday’s gathering. The Phoenix plan on giving their fans plenty to cheer about, especially with Langham in the secondary. “Akeem is an outstanding young man who we have enjoyed getting to know. He has the character, values and leadership skills we look for in a student-athlete and he comes from a wonderful family,” Lembo said. “Akeem has been a consistent performer in the classroom and an impact player on the field. We expect him to make significant contributions at Elon both on and off the field.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Vonn questions whether she will race at Olympics VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) – Lindsey Vonn is worried a badly bruised right shin will keep her out of the Vancouver Olympics, a startling announcement so close to the start of an event shaping up as a showcase for the U.S. skiing star. Vonn revealed Wednesday that she was injured in a slalom training run Feb. 2 during pre-Olympic practice in Austria. It was her first trip down the slopes of what was supposed to be three days of practice. “I’m sitting here today questioning whether, you know, I’ll be even able to ski,” Vonn said at a news conference. “I have to play it by ear.” As a two-time reigning overall World Cup champion, the 25-year-old who lives and trains in Vail, Colo., has been

considered a contender to win multiple medals. Asked whether she could be forced to sit out altogether, Vonn replied: “Yeah, that’s a possibility.” She hasn’t skied since getting hurt and said it’s even been painful to simply put on a pair of ski boots in her hotel room to test the leg. Vonn said the bruising covers about a 6-inch swath of her lower right leg – starting from where the top of a boot rests against her body – but she refused to get any X-rays to check whether she broke a bone because she didn’t want to know. She described her mindset as “very emotional, very scared. Not the positive way you want to be starting the Olympics.” The first women’s Alpine race is the super-combined on Sunday. Vonn said

she figures she will know a lot more about her status for the Olympics once she takes a run down the slope at Whistler Mountain. The first official training run for women is today. Vonn is slated to compete in all five women’s Alpine events and has been widely seen as the favorite to win gold medals in the speed events: downhill and super-G. She is no stranger to injuries – or to ignoring them on the slopes. At the 2006 Turin Olympics, she took a harrowing spill at somewhere around 50 mph in downhill training, a fall that bruised her back and sent her to the hospital. Less than 48 hours later, Vonn – then known as Lindsey Kildow, because she wasn’t married – was back in the starting

gate and finished eighth in the downhill. This season, in late December, she lost control during a World Cup giant slalom in Austria, thudded to the ground and worried she had broken her left wrist. It turned out it was a bad bruise, but Vonn was right back out there racing in a slalom the next morning, wearing a brace to protect the tender arm. Less than two weeks later, she was stringing together a three-race winning streak. Earlier that month, Vonn’s knee slammed into her chin as she sped down a downhill in Lake Louise, Alberta, making her teeth chomp on her tongue, causing blood to pour out of a corner of her mouth as she crossed the finish line. “I’ve dealt with a lot of injuries in the past, and I’ve always been able to persevere,” Vonn said Wednesday.

Nine Olympic gold medalists on U.S. 2010-12 roster NEW YORK (AP) – LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant and most of the reigning Olympic gold medalists could be back in U.S. uniforms this summer. If not, USA Basketball thinks it has plenty of players who can replace them. The Americans announced 27 players Wednesday for the national team pool that will be used to select the rosters for this summer’s world championships and the 2012 Olympics in London. It features nine players who stood atop the medals platform in Beijing and a number of emerging young stars ready for their chance. “The pool is better than the one we had in the last quadrant and the interest level is higher, and so we feel like we’re moving in the right direction,” U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said on a conference call, hours before he led his Duke team against rival North Carolina. Also returning from the 2008 team that

ended the Americans’ eight-year gold medal drought in major competitions are: Chris Bosh, Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, Carmelo Anthony, Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer. All of the returning players previously told USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo they were interested in coming back after spending all or parts of three years playing for the team that returned the United States to the top of international basketball. “The reason they’re back is they’re deserving of being back,” Colangelo said. James, Wade and Bosh are questionable to actually play this summer. All three can become free agents and have said their contract situations are their first priority. Paul is currently sidelined after knee surgery and Bryant is battling a number of injuries, so Colangelo knows he’s not going to get all of his top choices.

Sprint Nextel slows subscriber loss NEW YORK (AP) — Sprint Nextel Corp. managed to slow down the rate of subscriber loss in the fourth quarter, an encouraging sign for a wireless carrier that has lost millions of customers over the past few years. Sprint, the third-largest U.S. wireless carrier, said Wednesday that it lost a net 148,000 subscribers during the last three months of 2009, far fewer than the 545,000 who fled in the third quarter.

Bernanke outlines exit plan WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke began Wednesday to outline the central bank’s strategy for reeling in stimulus money once the economic recovery is more firmly rooted. Bernanke said the Fed will likely start to tighten credit by boosting the interest rate it pays banks on money they leave at the central bank. Doing so would raise rates tied to commercial banks’ prime rate and affect many consumer loans. Companies and ordinary Amer-

icans would pay more to borrow. But in prepared remarks to a House committee, Bernanke indicated the Fed is still months away from raising rates or draining most of the stimulus money it injected to rescue the financial system. He said the recovery still needs support from record-low interest rates. The Fed chief used his remarks to explain how the central bank will try to withdraw the stimulus money without tipping the economy back into recession. Using the rate it pays on

banks’ excess reserves to affect credit would be a new strategy for the Fed. Since the 1980’s, its main lever to tighten or loosen credit has been the federal funds rate. That rate is now at a record low near zero. The rate paid on banks’ excess reserves is 0.25 percent. Boosting that rate would give banks an incentive to keep money parked at the Fed, rather than lend it. It also would cause the funds rate to rise, economists say. Adjusting the interest paid on banks’ excess reserves helps

stabilize the funds rate when the financial system is awash in cash, as it is now. Paying interest on the reserves is a relatively new tool for the Fed, having been authorized by a 2008 law. Many foreign central banks rely on it. The Fed started paying interest on the reserves at the height of the financial crisis in October 2008. In his prepared remarks to the House Financial Services Committee, Bernanke lays out his most extensive details to date on the Fed’s exit strategy from record-low rates and

OPEC cautious on demand

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Sony Corp. has purchased a medical technology company based on the University of Illinois’ campus in Champaign. Sony didn’t say in its news release how much it paid for iCyt Mission Technology Inc. iCyt makes equipment for flow cytometry, a technique used to count microscopic particles such as blood cells. iCyt employs 44 people in its office at the University of Illinois Research Park.

Oil falls on Bernanke stimulus talk NEW YORK (AP) — Oil and other energy prices fell as the dollar rose after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke mapped out a plan for pulling in government stimulus money when the U.S. economy recovers. Bernanke said the Fed will probably start to tighten credit by raising interest rates, although that could be months away. Benchmark crude for March delivery fell 60 cents to $73.15 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. A stronger dollar makes crude more expensive for investors holding other currencies.

Strikes force closures at Paris Ikea stores PARIS (AP) — Swedish home furnishing giant Ikea has closed several stores in the Paris area amid strikes by workers demanding pay raises, company officials said Wednesday. The walkouts began Saturday and led to the closure of five stores — though one reopened Wednesday, said Isabelle Cremoux, a spokeswoman for Ikea in France. Ikea has offered to meet Thursday with labor unions in the dispute over pay.

economic stimulus. Under the threat of a major snowstorm, the panel postponed its hearing scheduled for Wednesday. The hearing was intended to review the Fed’s plans for withdrawing its emergency supports. Bernanke chose to release the prepared testimony. Deciding when and how to remove all the stimulus is the biggest challenge for Bernanke in his second term, which started last week. Reeling in the stimulus too soon risks short-circuiting the recovery. That could send unemployment up.

Passersby are reflected on the front part of Honda Motor Co.’s vehicle on display at the automaker’s headquarters in Tokyo, Japan, on Wednesday.

More recalls likely TOKYO (AP) — Honda’s expansion of its global recall for faulty air bags suggests automakers are turning cautious amid consumer scrutiny of Toyota’s safety lapses, a trend that could see more recalls in the coming months. Honda Motor Co., Japan’s No. 2 automaker, said Wednesday it was recalling an additional 437,000 cars globally, bringing its 15 monthold recall to nearly 1 million vehicles. Intense criticism of Toyota Motor Corp. that it was too slow to acknowledge problems

and come clean with consumers before recalls involving over 8 million vehicles has Japanese corporate chieftains wanting to do everything they can to avoid a similar fate. “No one wants to be Akio Toyoda,” said Kurt Sanger, an analyst at Deutsche Securities in Tokyo, referring to Toyota’s president who has apologized repeatedly for his company’s woes. “You’re seeing the down side of not doing it,” Sanger said of Toyota’s recent reluctance to recall vehicles. Automakers are “obviously going to be

motivated to be more aggressive on these things.” Showing the chastening effect of bad publicity, Toyota on Wednesday declined to accept a Japanese government energy efficiency award given to its Prius hybrid, saying the honor is not appropriate for a car hit by massive recalls. Nissan Motor Co. is clearly on guard. The company understands the need to “make maximum efforts toward safety and quality,” said Chief Operating Officer Toshiyuki Shiga on Tuesday, when asked about how his company might be affected by

woes at rival Toyota. “With this crisis, if you will, as a catalyst, we want to further accelerate those efforts and we want to exert even greater caution,” Shiga said. Honda’s expanded recall came a day after Toyota said it would recall nearly 440,000 of its flagship 2010 Prius cars and other hybrids due to a braking glitch — further damaging its once sterling image. Since November last year the world’s No. 1 automaker has recalled nearly 8.5 million vehicles for faults that include floor mats that can en-

Toyota repairing 50,000 vehicles a day CHICAGO (AP) — A Toyota executive says dealers have so far reinforced the sticking accelerator on more than 220,000 recalled vehicles, with repairs continuing at a rate of about 50,000 vehicles a day.

“Nothing is more important to Toyota than the safety and reliability of our vehicles, and right now we are completely focused on fixing the vehicles that have been affected under this recall,” Bob Carter, Toyota

group vice president said at the Chicago Auto Show on Wednesday. He said some dealers have been open around the clock while others are carrying out the repairs at offsite facilities.

Carter added that the voluntary recall of the 2010 Prius and Lexus HS 250h models to update braking software, in response to complaints about braking problems, also is proceeding.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — OPEC on Wednesday raised questions about how fast the U.S. economy will be able to bounce back, but it is sticking to its forecast for worldwide oil demand for now. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries said in its monthly market report that an unclear picture of the pace of the U.S. economic recovery has the potential to push its oil demand estimates lower. The United States is the world’s largest oil consumer, responsible for nearly a quarter of global demand. “U.S. demand is a key uncertainty for this year,” the 12-member bloc said.

Consumers spend modestly NEW YORK (AP) — Americans backed off from their holiday spending pace in January, but retail sales rose for a third month in a row compared with a year earlier, largely because of higher gas prices, according to figures released Wednesday. Analysts expect the modest spending pace to improve in coming months, though it will be far from robust as high unemployment and tight credit show little sign of disappearing. Including goods from food to clothing to gasoline — but excluding cars — U.S. sales rose 3.6 percent from January 2009, according to MasterCard Advisor’s SpendingPulse, which estimates spending in all forms including cash.

Freddie to start buying back bad loans WASHINGTON (AP) — Government controlled mortgage finance company Freddie Mac said Wednesday it will buy back an unspecified amount of troubled loans contained in securities it has already sold to investors. The McLean, Va.-based

company said Wednesday it would repurchase mortgage loans in which borrowers have missed at least four months of payments. It did not disclose how much it would spend. Freddie Mac guarantees the mortgage securities it sells. The company said

buying the delinquent loans back would cost less than making those guarantee payments. Freddie Mac and sibling company Fannie Mae have been run under tight government oversight since they almost collapsed in September 2008.

Stocks stall on Bernanke remarks NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market managed to steady itself after hearing Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s plans to dismantle the central bank’s supports for the economy. The Dow Jones industrial average closed with a loss of 20 points after falling nearly 100 in early trading. Treasury prices fell as demand for safe havens eased. Bernanke revealed the Fed’s thinking on how to wean the market from massive emergency supports put in place to keep the economy afloat. He

said the Fed will likely start tightening credit by boosting the interest rate it pays banks on deposits with the central bank. The talk of a smaller role for the Fed in U.S. markets came as investors looked for the opposite overseas. Investors are hoping European Union countries will extend a bailout to Greece. The country is facing big budget gaps. There is concern that financial woes in Greece as well as in Portugal, Ireland and Spain could spread

and threaten a global economic recovery. “We’re in a messy transition period,” said Paul Ballew, chief economist at Nationwide Insurance in Columbus, Ohio. “While you see policymakers back off in some areas you’re going to continue to see them intervene in other areas.” The prospect of more restrained Fed shook the markets at first, even though it wasn’t a surprise. Bernanke said in a statement that the Fed likely will begin tight-

ening credit by raising the interest rate it pays to banks on the money they have deposited at the Fed. That would lead to an increase in borrowing rates for consumers and businesses. The Dow fell 20.26, or 0.2 percent, to 10,038.38 a day after jumping 150 points as hope of a Greece bailout grew. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 2.39, or 0.2 percent, to 1,068.13, while Nasdaq composite index fell 3.00, or 0.1 percent, to 2,147.87.

FAA eyes hefty fines for American WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Aviation Administration is close to wrapping up a two-year investigation of safety violations at American Airlines that could result in one of the largest fines in the agency’s history, according to government and industry officials familiar with the investigation. Separately, the Transportation Department’s inspector general is due to release an audit in the next several days that criticizes FAA for lax oversight of aircraft maintenance at Fort

Worth, Texas,-based American, the officials said Tuesday. The FAA safety investigation involves improperly secured wiring in 290 MD-80s in American’s fleet. The loose fastening resulted in damage to wiring in several dozen planes and, in at least a handful of cases, electrical arcing — a discharge of electricity that presents a potential fire threat, according to the officials, who asked not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly. As a result of the safety

Officials wrangle over Greece rescue BRUSSELS (AP) — European Union governments are wrestling over how to help Greece, whose debt crisis has shaken the EU and undermined the shared euro currency. Officials said Wednesday that the burden was on Greece to show markets details on how it can cut its massive debt, even as public sector workers strike to protest an austerity program. Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou is pledging to “take any necessary measures” to reduce Greece’s deficit. But German officials said Wednesday there was no urgent need for a bailout at the moment and that “no decision on such help” is imminent. They also said EU rules

prohibited them from guaranteeing another country’s debts. “Of course, we are running through worst-case scenarios,” a German official said on condition of anonymity. “Greece has to present a credible volume of cuts. Agreement on that would be an important signal from tomorrow’s summit.” Markets are looking for more — a plan on what EU nations would do if Greece were near a default. Stephen Lewis, an analyst at Monument Securities, said financial markets “are taking it for granted that support will be forthcoming and would probably react negatively if the summit’s outcome fell short of expectations.”

violations, FAA temporarily grounded hundreds of planes in April 2008, wreaking havoc in the travel schedules of thousands of passengers. FAA officials have not yet determined the amount of the fine that will be proposed against American, but it will probably be in the same ballpark as the $10.2 million fine the agency proposed against Southwest Airlines in March 2008, the officials said. The Southwest fine, the largest ever proposed by FAA, was the result of nearly 60,000 flights

made on planes that had missed required examinations for structural cracks. It was settled for $7.5 million in March 2009. FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford said the agency’s investigation is not yet complete and it would be premature to comment on the amount of any fine that might be proposed. American spokesman Tim Wagner said the airline isn’t aware of any pending fine. The airline has long said the safety of its aircraft was never jeopardized.

Trade deficit jumps sharply WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. trade deficit surged to a larger-thanexpected $40.18 billion in December, the biggest imbalance in 12 months. The wider deficit reflected a rebounding economy that is pushing up demand for oil and other imports. The Commerce Department said the December deficit was 10.4 percent higher than the November imbalance. It was much larger than the $36 billion deficit that economists had expected with much of the increase coming from a big jump in oil imports. For December, exports of goods and services rose for an eighth consecutive month,

climbing 3.3 percent to $142.70 billion. The increase was led by strong gains in sales of commercial aircraft, industrial machinery and U.S.-made autos and auto parts. Imports were up 4.8 percent in December to $182.88 billion, led by a 14.8 percent surge in oil imports which rose to the highest level since October 2008. For all of 2009, the deficit totaled $380.66 billion, the smallest imbalance in eight years, as a deep recession cut into imports. However, economists believe the deficit will rise in 2010 as U.S. demand for imports outpaces U.S. export sales.

Judge: California pumping limits needed to protect smelt FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — A federal judge in California has turned down an emergency request by farmers to lift water pumping restrictions in the state’s delta aimed at protecting threatened smelt. U.S. District Judge Oliver Wanger made the

ruling Wednesday, saying fish are already dying near pumps as a result of the current pumping levels in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The restrictions were put in place to protect delta smelt as they swim downstream into the Pacific Ocean.

Veteran attacks shelter director; both killed

AP

Vehicles attempt to pass tractor trailers that are stuck on the off ramp of Interstate 81 northbound during blizzard conditions in Grantville, Pa., on Wednesday.

Blizzard breaks mid-Atlantic records WASHINGTON (AP) – Worst winter ever? The second blizzard in less than a week buried the most populous stretch of the East Coast under nearly a foot of snow Wednesday, breaking records for the snowiest winter and demoralizing millions of people still trying to dig out from the previous storm. Conditions in the nation’s capital were so bad that even plows were advised to get off the roads, and forecasters were eyeing a third storm that could be brewing for next week. For many families, the first storm was a fun weekend diversion.

Celebrating 13 Years in Business

People even went skiing past Washington’s monuments. But Wednesday’s blizzard quickly became a serious safety concern. The Pennsylvania governor shut down some highways and warned that people who drove were risking their lives. “I’ve seen enough,” said Bill Daly, 57, as gusts of wind and snow lashed his face in Arlington, Va., where streets were nearly empty just a few days after people had been playing in the snow. “It’s scary and beautiful at the same time. I wanted to shovel but thought if I had a heart attack it could be a while before anybody

found me in this kind of weather.” Old-timers talk about a storm that blew through Washington in 1922, collapsing the roof on the Knickerbocker theater and killing more than 90 people. Their great-greatgrandchildren will be

able to describe the backto-back blizzards of 2010, which were not nearly as deadly but set records for the snowiest winters ever in Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia. Up to 16 inches fell in parts of western Maryland.

CLEVELAND (AP) – An Air Force veteran who was told to move out of a homeless shelter because he had been uncooperative about attending counseling fatally attacked the center’s director Wednesday and then was shot to death by police when he charged at them with a knife and an ax, authorities said. Officers said that when they arrived at the homeless shelter, Raymond Ice was holding the weapons and was standing over the body of shelter director Rita Ciofani, 59. He

ignored orders to drop the weapons, charged at officers and was Tasered and shot, police spokesman Sgt. Sammy Morris said. “This is very unprecedented and surprising – that this person would take his anger out on a person that’s been, you know, very good and kind and helpful to him,” said Dennis Kresak, president of the Volunteers of America of Greater Ohio, which runs the center. Ice gave no indication that he was angry about being asked to leave, Kresak said.

3 bus tunnel guards watch beating SEATTLE (AP) – A 15year-old girl who was badly beaten in a Seattle bus tunnel as three unarmed security guards looked on told investigators that she thought the men would protect her.

The statements were revealed in court papers filed Wednesday against the teen girl who attacked her and three men accused of stealing her purse, phone and iPod. The four were charged with robbery.

Women take charge of ‘Greatest Show on Earth’ BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

G

REENSBORO – “Barnum’s FUNundrum,” this year’s edition of the circus at the Greensboro Coliseum, was created around milestones in circus history. The 140th edition of the circus is a tribute to P.T. Barnum (18101891), the showman who founded what would become Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey. The show also is the first in the circus’ history to be pro-

Kenneth Feld duced by sisters Nicole and Alana Feld, who represent the third generation of their family to put on what’s called “The Greatest Show on Earth.” The Felds acquired the circus from John Ringling North in 1967, and the women’s grandfather, Irvin Feld, ran it before passing it to his son, and the women’s father, Kenneth Feld. Both women are producers, and Nicole also is executive vice president, the first woman in Ringling history to hold the position. Nicole, the oldest, joined Feld Entertainment in 2001 and was charged with modernizing the production. The trick to such an undertaking is to maintain traditions and educate young fans about Barnum and history, while keeping the interest of those young people used to visual stimulation

and special effects. “At Ringling we’ve been around for 140 years, and that’s not by accident,” Nicole said. “Whoever has been the steward has modernized it and kept it relevant for audiences of that particular generation. Everything we do is keeping kids and their parents in mind, to entertain children and get them to appreciate a unique talent.” Nicole, 31, did not intend to enter the family business but unknowingly prepared for the job by getting a degree in photography and imaging from New York University and working at People Magazine on visual presentation and market-sensitive packaging. “Somewhere during my career with People I realized I have this incredible opportunity, and I missed my family and missed being in the (circus) life,” she said. “My father would call and say, ‘Hey, hop on a plane and come see this wonderful thing,’ .... and I had to say, ‘Dad, I have to work. I can’t just go to the circus.’ “Suddenly it dawned on me I would be crazy not to take the opportunity, ... and I ran to it.” Now both sisters travel the world looking for acts and creative teams for new shows that each take more than a year of preparation. “Barnum’s FUNundrum” melds contemporary and traditional, she said. Huge LED (light emitting diode) screens show old circus posters and images to deliver circus history in a hightech manner. A teeterboard act – hardly new to the circus – is performed by acrobats dressed as pirates. “I heard a child in Tampa say how much they love the pirates,” Nicole said. “The teeterboard is traditional, but kids are relating to pirates, which is contemporary.” Members of the Flying Caceres trapeze act are costumed as superheros and perform to music with superhero themes. Two members of the team, flyer Ivo Silva Jr. and catcher Daniel Simard, pulled off a quadruple somersault, which has only been

It hasn’t been consistently done for 30 years, and that was for Ringling, so these people are superheros in real life. “It’s a very traditional act, but presented in a way that’s

completely modern and hip and relevant today.” vknopfler@hpe.com / 888-3601

‘ELEVATOR GIRL”

----

Falling in love is never a smooth ride, as a pair of mismatched young lovebirds are about to find out. When a stuck elevator brings a freespirited woman and an uptight lawyer together, they are faced with the reality that their separate worlds might be too different for their relationship to get off of the ground floor. “Mean Girls” star Lacey Chabert and Ryan Merriman (“Final Destination 3,” “Taken”), winner of five Young Artist Awards, pair up to discover what happens when opposites attract in “Elevator Girl,” a Hallmark Channel Original Movie World Premiere at 9 p.m. , Saturday. Workaholic attorney Jonathan MacIntyre (Merriman) is too busy at the firm to make time for himself or any personal life. But when he gets trapped in a stalled elevator with carefree, eccentric Liberty Taylor (Chabert), they discover that opposites really do attract. The sparks are there, but after Jonathan finds out that Liberty is on a career path consisting of only odd jobs and unfinished degrees, he grows conflicted over whether to follow his heart or settle down with a professional woman who is more like himself. It takes his motherly secretary, Rosemary (Patty McCormick, “Frost/Nixon”) to intervene as matchmaker to set the two up for a second chance. After a successful first date, Jonathan and Libby start to fall for each other, but the two can’t help but seem mismatched.

Before you know it, there will be an opportunity to consider. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you don’t make your move, you won’t be able to take advantage of what’s being offered. Your timing must be impeccable if you want to get ahead at this time. Waffling will lead to disappointment. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The competition is great and, although you do have some great ideas, so will others. You can form a partnership with someone you feel can complement what you have to offer. Being a team player will put you in a leadership position. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A problem within your relationship will occur if you have been all work and no play. If you neglect what’s really important, uncertainty will develop. You will find a solution if you listen to the complaints being made. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Everyone will be in your corner. Love is on the rise and the people you are with can change your future. Let everyone know what you want and what your intentions are. Once you establish your position, the rest will fall into place. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you aren’t being honest with yourself, it’s hard for others to help or to be honest with you. Follow your dreams, don’t be afraid to be open about your intentions and plans and focus on the positive. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A trip or gathering will lead to talks about future projects and how you can contribute. Love and romance are in the stars. Someone who makes an unexpected, last-minute change will catch you off guard. Protect your home and your assets. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t let anyone push you around. Demands and ultimatums should be tossed aside. Reasonable talks and suggestions will help to calm the waters and bring everyone to the same conclusion. Diplomacy will win. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): An old friend or lover is likely to surface but keep your guard up – nothing has changed. Past experience will guide you now and save you from making the same mistake twice. Choose the people with whom you can associate successfully. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may be offered help but it will be at a price. Before you get involved in something new, find out what’s expected of you. A partnership may intrigue you and even sound good, but if talks become pushy, back off immediately. ★★★★

“My cousin the Queen of Hearts is always saying she’s the most powerful card in Wonderland,” the Queen of Diamonds confided to Alice, “but I command more respect from the other cards. Deal and I’ll show you.” So Alice dealt and became declarer at today’s game. The Dormouse, North, should have bid 3NT himself: If the diamonds came in, there would probably be nine tricks; if not, 2NT might be too high. The Mad Hatter, West, led the jack of spades, and Alice took the king, saving the ace as a dummy entry. She next led a diamond, and the Hatter played the queen.

HEART RETURN Alice was reaching for dummy’s king when she recalled the Queen of Diamonds’ words. So Alice let the queen win. She won the next spade, led a diamond to force out East’s ace, won the heart return, and got to dummy with the ace of spades to run the diamonds. She made an overtrick, as the Queen of Diamonds beamed approval. If dummy plays the king on the first diamond, East beats 3NT by playing low.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K Q 5 H A J 8 4 D 7 4 C A K 8 3. You open 1NT, your partner responds two clubs (Stayman), you bid two hearts and he next bids three diamonds. What do you say? ANSWER: Many pairs treat this auction as a sign-off: Partner might hold 6 2, 3, Q J 10 9 6 5, J 6 5 4. Others treat it as invitational to game, and you’d try 3NT, hoping he held a hand like today’s North hand. Others would treat it as forcing. Consult your partner about this auction’s meaning. South dealer Both sides vulnerable

---

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

t would be really easy for Lacey Chabert to walk around with the kind of arrogant attitude that too often comes with having the kind of great early success she’s enjoyed in Hollywood. Before she’d even entered middle school, Chabert was co-starring as young Claudia Salinger in the hit series “Party of Five,� after having landed a regular role on the soap opera “All My Children� the year before – when she was all of 10. The consensus was that the Purvis, Mississippiborn onetime beauty contest winner was one of the finest young actresses of her generation. She had the world by the tail. But Chabert knew that her breakout success came with a seeming expiration date. “I knew it could all change after I grew up, which was something I really couldn’t avoid,� Chabert, who turned 27 on Sept. 30, recalls. “When you transition from being a child actor to an adult actor, it’s rife with a lot of challenges. Most of it stems from trying to convince people you can still act. It’s like reintroducing yourself.�

That Chabert has made the leap to more adult roles with a rare Chabert smoothness is underscored by the fact she’s no longer typecast as either the “Party of Five� kid or the catty teen from the seminal 2004 flick, “Mean Girls.� Case in point: The new Hallmark Channel Original Movie “Elevator Girl,� which premieres at 9 p.m. Saturday. It finds Chabert playing the free-spirited, artsy spark plug to Ryan Merriman’s driven workaholic lawyer. In the romantic comedy, she’s one of the serv-
