HIGH POINT – Moments before the start of Thursday night’s 50th anniversary banquet that commemorated the Feb. 11, 1960, High Point sit-in, the Rev. Rufus Newlin said it was “bittersweet” to take part in the event that paid tribute to what is believed to have been the first sit-in by high school students in the nation.

“I was one of the original 26 who marched on that day and participated through many of the events that went on that first year,” Newlin said. “... The greatest legacy of the event .. was not only the walls of segregation torn down in this city over an 8-year period, but the hearts of people have changed over the 50 years.”

Newlin and many others, who staged a sit-in at the whites-only lunch counters of the F.W. Woolworth store in downtown High Point on Feb. 11, 1960, gathered at Showplace for the banquet, which featured keynote speaker Addie Richburg, director of the National

Piedmont Triad International Airport saw flights delayed, canceled Thursday.

Winter weather elsewhere complicates air travel at PTIA

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GREENSBORO – The record snowstorms in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast this week brought an unwelcome ripple effect on travelers at Piedmont Triad International Airport.

Numbers of flights were canceled or delayed to and from PTIA Wednesday and Thursday because connections couldn’t be made at other airports buried under several feet of snow. The snowstorms canceled all PTIA flights to and from the MidAtlantic and Northeast Wednesday, said PTIA Executive Director Ted Johnson.

“Washington, Philadelphia, New York – there was nothing running up there,” he said.

Scattered cancellations or postponements of flights took place Thursday morning because of the weather, he said.

Out of the current 60 daily flights from PTIA, a little more than onethird – or 22 – are to destinations in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, according to airport statistics.

D.C. storm victims dig out. 8D storms this week in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast was much worse than any problems caused by the string of winter weather storms in the Triad since mid-December, Johnson said.

Airports in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast should return to normal operations today, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration said Thursday morning.

“Still, a lot of that depends on the runway conditions. There are a lot of gusty winds blowing snow around, and they have to keep those runways clear of ice,” said Kathleen Bergen, public affairs representative at the FAA regional office in Atlanta. Airports in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast had a fraction of their normal flights Wednesday, Bergen said. At some airports, such as Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, no flights took place Wednesday, she said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

LEXINGTON – Instead of continuing its search for a new site for the Davidson County Jail and courthouse, the Davidson County Board of Commissioners may take a closer look to see if its current jail and courthouse complex has more room to grow.

Based on a suggestion from the county’s Jail/ Courthouse Committee, commissioners have agreed to consider a contract for Charlotte-based Ware Bonsall Architects to perform a master plan for the existing courthouse and jail site in downtown Lexington. Commissioners discussed the proposal during its annual retreat at the former Davidson Academy in Lexington Thursday.

The master plan, which would cost the county $57,376, would determine the feasibility of accommodating the projected needs of the court, sheriff’s office and jail, along with required parking on or adjacent to the existing courthouse and jail site in downtown Lexington. Architects also will identify project sequencing and timelines and estimate probable construction costs.

Commissioner Sam Watford, who serves on the Jail/Courthouse Committee, said the master plan would examine “if there

is any way to keep the jail and courthouse in downtown Lexington.” Watford said architects also would examine surrounding properties and the former Lexcom building as possibilities for the courthouse and jail’s expansion.

“It still involves taking care of the immediate needs of the sheriff’s office,” Commissioner Fred McClure said.

Davidson County officials had been looking at different sites for a new jail because its population had gone well above its capacity of 298 inmates in recent years, with an average jail population of 388 in July 2008. County officials now say that problem doesn’t exist with the jail population averaging around 210 inmates.

Brian Shipwash, clerk of Davidson County Superior Court, has said courthouse employees need more room because they currently are having to use bathrooms that also are being used for storage. Shipwash also has said the courthouse normally has about 125 residents waiting to get into the facility, but can’t because fire code prohibits that many people to be in the hallways.

The county hasn’t set a date of when commissioners will consider the architect’s contract. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Authorities seize 90 pounds of marijuana ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

RANDOLPH COUNTY – Law enforcement officials seized 90 pounds of marijuana during a search of a Randolph County residence Wednesday.

Members of the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office Vice & Narcotics Unit, along with the

Greensboro Police Department and Guilford County Sheriff’s Office, searched a home at 2587 Wayne White Road, Lot 25 in Pleasant Garden pursuant to an investigation, authorities said.

Detectives located and seized about 90 pounds of marijuana packaged in individual Zip-

loc bags that weighed about one pound each, Randolph deputies said.

Officers also uncovered an undisclosed amount of cash, packaging materials and drug paraphernalia.

As a result, one person was arrested. Jeremy Conrad Chrisco, 33, whose address was listed as the site of the

search and seizure, was charged with possession with intent to sell or deliver marijuana, trafficking in marijuana, conspiracy to traffic in marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to the Randolph sheriff’s office.

He was jailed under a $75,000 bond.

Alleged accomplice says NC murder suspect innocent RALEIGH (AP) – The friend of a convicted killer who is trying to prove he is innocent at a special hearing said Thursday that authorities had the wrong man.

Johnny Beck was initially charged in the killing, but prosecutors later

dropped their case against him. Beck testified in support of Greg Taylor, 47, of Cary, who has served 17 years of a life sentence for the murder of a prostitute in Raleigh.

Both men have testified that they spent the night of Sept. 25, 1991, and the

early morning hours of the following day driving through some of Raleigh’s seedier neighborhoods, buying and using crack cocaine.

“The whole night, I’m with this man, so I know he didn’t do it,” Beck testified before a three-judge panel.

“To this day, I don’t understand ... it’s mind-boggling.

It’s scary, it really is.”

It was bad luck, the men said, that landed them in a wooded area near a deserted cul-de-sac, where they smoked more crack before Taylor’s sport utility vehicle got stuck.

HIGH POINT – City Councilman Bill Bencini filed Thursday to run as a Republican for the Guilford County Board of Commissioners seat that Republican Steve Arnold will vacate after this year.

Bencini, a businessman in the furniture industry, has served in Ward 4 since his election to council in 1999.

He said that he enjoys his service on council but wants to take on a new challenge. Fellow Republicans have approached him and encouraged Bencini to run for the Board of Commissioners, Bencini said, saying he’d serve as a strong advocate for the city.

“Not everybody in District 2 lives in the city, and I wouldn’t think of turning my back on them.

But I do think the city and county’s interests are best served if there’s a stronger effort for both parties to work together,” he said.

Arnold announced earlier this week that he won’t seek re-election in the Republican-leaning District 2 on the Board of Commissioners. His fouryear term expires at the end of 2010.

In another filing Thursday in Guilford County, Phoenix Academy char-

ter school leader and businessman Paul Norcross filed Thursday as a Republican in the 61st State House District race. Norcross joins two other High Point Republicans – City Councilman John Faircloth and real estate businessman Gerald Grubb – in seeking the seat that will be vacated after this year by retiring Rep. Laura Wiley, R-Guilford.

State Appellate Judge Rick Elmore filed Thursday to retain his seat in the nonpartisan judicial elections.

Elmore, a Greensboro native, was first elected to the N.C. Court of Appeals in 2002. Since joining the state’s second-highest court, he has helped decide more than 2,000 cases and has authored more than 700 opinions, Elmore’s campaign reports.

Filing by candidates continues through noon Feb. 26. A separate filing period for nonpartisan municipal races in High Point and Archdale will take place in July. High Point and Archdale are the only municipalities among more than 500 in North Carolina that hold elections for mayor and City Council in even-numbered years.

The party primaries are May 4, with the general election Nov. 2. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Audit: Weak controls on NC prisoner medical costs RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina lacks controls to rein in prisoner medical expenses that could save the state tens of millions of dollars annually, State Auditor Beth Wood’s office said Thursday after its review said correction officials are at the mercy of outside hospitals when it

comes to setting payment rates.

The fiscal control audit of prisoner medical services at the Department of Correction examined 131 of the largest payments to hospitals for individual inmates’ treatment during the second half of 2008 and found that 16 exceeded $100,000.

High Point is rooting for Heather Richardson Last week, the High Point City Council presented a proclamation to Pat Richardson for her daughter, Heather.

Heather was out of town, to be precise in Salt Lake City, where she was training for the Vancouver Olympics.

While the Enterprise has reported Heather’s remarkable accomplishments in speed skating, sometimes articles are missed. It was the City Council’s intent to honor Heather but also to bring to the attention of our citizens that one of our young people is an Olympian.

This is a wonderful opportunity for businesses and others who have changeable copy signs to acknowledge our very own High Point Olympian with a message of best wishes and good luck.

We all should be watching and cheering for this 20-year-old who will be representing our country.

Just think, a graduate of High Point Central two years ago and an Olympic speedskater today.

Go, Heather!

Insurance companies have the option of dropping people who have paid their premiums for years or denying expensive treatments. The uninsured simply play the system by going to emergency rooms which costs those that have insurance more in premiums because we pick up the tab.

Hard work, determination lose favor with the masses I can somewhat understand why young people who are still wet behind the ears and haven’t seen the hard knocks of life all that much would vote for a change in the most plentiful country in the world.

As I watched the older crowd, 40-plus, I thought to myself: Here they are waving the American flag and making fools of themselves, wanting a change in the greatest country in the world.

We have had recessions before and overcome them with hard work and pride, now all people want are handouts. Well, do you see what that brings? Socialism (government control).

Arnold makes best decision for citizens

G

uilford County Commissioner Steve Arnold announced this week that he will not seek reelection to the seat he’s held on the board since 1990. The 48-year-old High Point native made the correct call.

Arnold explained the decision, saying he has new business opportunities that likely will require more of his time and more travel. That’s certainly a valid reason to support such a decision, and we commend Arnold for putting the citizens of District 2 and Guilford County ahead of his own political career.

Business concerns have made Arnold a focus of attention since a $12 million bankruptcy case in 2007.

And although Arnold said his business legal affairs did not enter into his decision, an objective observer must suspect that at least subconsciously they did.

And that is especially so in light of the fact that some two years ago, Arnold contemplated resigning from the board because of them.

The past year on the board, however, has gone reasonably well for Arnold, a Republican who has served as vice chairman on a Democratic majority board chaired by Skip Alston, a longtime adversary of Arnold’s. Alston and Arnold fooled observers and worked together to move ahead with county budget tightening during recent recessionary times and on other matters.

Arnold also hinted recently at possibly running for mayor of High Point. But that’s not a good idea – just now at least – for the very reasons he says he’s not running for re-election to commissioners. Arnold also noted he’s held elected office the past 25 years – as commissioner, legislator and High Point City Councilman. And as he told the Enterprise, “That’s plenty of time.”

That’s a correct call, too.

Prepare yourself, if you want to get my vote So if a blind squirrel can find a nut, then maybe any nut can get elected to Congress. It’s possible, many have. If you’re thinking of running, I have a few suggestions for you.

Know the Constitution. Read it. Read it again. Read it aloud in public. Understand what it means.

Get to know the folks that wrote it. At your campaign rally, I am going to ask you what a “Bill of Attainder” is. It’s best you know the answer.

Know the folks you want to represent. Go to a factory at 6:30 in the morning, hook up with a worker for the day. Learn what it’s like to work with your hands,

to be on your feet all day, to assemble the widgets that make this world go round.

After work, follow them to the grocery store to see a 5-pound bag of flour has gone from 75 cents to $2.78, while incomes at best, are stagnant.

Now with 10 percent unemployed, this may be your biggest voting bloc. Learn their story and everything that comes with it – like food stamps, bankruptcy and foreclosures.

At that rally, I’m going to ask you, “Does the working man wash his hands before or after using the bathroom?” It’s best you know the answer.

Don’t be a lawyer, a couple will be working for you, if you get there. Don’t have all the answers, no one knows all the questions.

Don’t be way out left or right.

Find the middle, that’s where the votes are. Don’t spew untruths, we have had enough of that.

Those are my suggestions. Good luck.

Oh, one last thing. It’s best if you own a dog. I have heard that most dog owners vote, and nine times out of 10, they will vote for the dog!

Congressman Murtha was a friend of our veterans

L

ast Monday, U.S. Rep. John Murtha, D- Pa., died, and veterans lost a very good friend. He reminded me of my drill sergeant during basic training at Parris Island, S.C., in 1949 – rough exterior but a genuine U.S. Marine.

Murtha was a combat veteran of the Vietnam War, and the first Vietnam veteran elected to the U.S. Congress.

He certainly understood the “misery of war.” As a matter of fact, he stood ready to take on any elected official to defend veterans, and we will miss him.

There was one statement I heard a reporter say about Murtha that troubles me. The reporter said “Congressman John Murtha was an ex-Marine.” I wish people understood there are no ex-Marines. Once a Marine, always a Marine, and Congressman Murtha was one of the best, in my book.

I read recently a story about a special homecoming: Commander H.B. Le, commanding officer of the USS Larsen, sailed his destroyer into Da Nang, Vietnam, for a historical and moving port visit. Some 35 years earlier, Le – at that time only 5 years old – and his family fled what was then a country ravaged by war.

The family escaped on a fishing trawler that his father, who was then a South Vietnamese naval officer, commandeered and sailed to safety. The trawler was crammed with 200 refugees including Le’s family. The vessel drifted for about three days before the USS Barbour County rescued the refugees May 2, 1975.

Le’s family resettled in Virginia, and Le became a U.S. citizen in 1985. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1992. Commander Le was quick to shine the spotlight on his parents and the people who sponsored his family’s new beginning here in America. His words were, “Service to my country by pursuing a naval career – that is my way of trying to give back to them and my parents.”

I thought this was a real success story. When we were coming out of South Korea many years ago, there were nearly 100,000 refugees waiting at the port pleading to be rescued from that war-ravaged VETERAN’S country. All the equipment that could be left behind VIEWS was taken off and loaded with these poor people. I Stan have from time to time Spangle Sr. met some of these Korean ■■■ people and they have done very well for themselves, and they are so proud to be American.

In 1994, I returned to South Korea with a group of Marines who were in the Chosin Reservoir with me. We were invited by the president and people of South Korea, who were so grateful to all of us and the American people. I was so impressed with the way these people had rebuilt their country.

This brings me to say to you, America is such a great county, we owe so much to those that have gone before us. We are so blessed here, and yet some still do not appreciate what we have here. Freedom is not free.

Over several centuries now, many Americans have died protecting our freedom and the freedom of others in faraway places. The next time you become frustrated with your life here, stop and think what a wonderful country America really is.

As Norman Vincent Peale said, “Change your thoughts and you can change your world.”

May God bless America, and all the other nations.

Shootout in Rio slum ahead of Carnival kills 8

Mandela marks 20 years of freedom

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) – Gunfire erupted Thursday in a Rio de Janeiro slum, killing at least seven suspected drug traffickers and a policeman a day before Carnival celebrations kick off.

A police spokesman said the gunbattle in the Jacarezinho slum started while police were on a routine patrol. He declined to be quoted by name, citing standard department policy.

JOHANNESBURG – South African lawmakers sang Nelson Mandela’s praises Thursday as the anti-apartheid icon settled into parliament’s public gallery for a State of the Nation address scheduled in tribute to his 20 years of freedom.

Mandela was released in 1990 after spending 27 years in prison and went on to lead South Africa through the last stretch of a stunning, peaceful revolution from apartheid to democracy.

Iraqi panel bars 2 Sunnis from election BAGHDAD – An Iraqi panel issued a final ruling Thursday to bar two prominent Sunni politicians from running in next month’s elections, a move that is likely to raise tensions between the Shiite-led government and Sunnis who claim they are being politically undermined.

The back-and-forth over a decision to blacklist hundreds of candidates from the March 7 vote because of ties to Saddam Hussein’s former Baathist regime has threatened to mar the balloting process.

5 Americans wounded in attack at US base KABUL – A suicide bomber wearing an Afghan border policeman’s uniform blew himself up Thursday at a U.S. base near the Pakistani frontier, wounding five Americans, an Afghan official said.

The spokesman for Paktia province, Roullah Samoun, said the attack occurred after sundown in a barracks at a U.S. facility in the Dand aw Patan district in eastern Afghanistan.

Facebook pulls 30 UK inmates’ pages LONDON – The criminals are behind bars but their victims are still feeling their reach – through the Internet.

The British government said Thursday that Facebook had removed the profiles of 30 U.K. inmates at its request after several incidents in which prisoners reportedly used the social networking site to organize crime or taunt others.

The announcement made some Internet users worry about government interference online.

Jacarezinho is located in northern Rio, far from the tourist areas and the Carnival parties that open Friday and draw about 500,000 visitors each year.

But the violence nevertheless adds to concerns about the city’s image and how much it will be able to curtail violence as it prepares to host the 2016 Olympics.

Thursday was one of the bloodiest days in Rio since October.

Corinna Lankford (right) of Meridian, Idaho, one of the 10 Americans who were arrested while trying to bus children out of Haiti without proper documents or government permission, reacts to a reporter’s question.

Haitian judge poised to release missionaries PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – The 10 U.S. missionaries facing trial for trying to take a busload of children out of Haiti should be released from jail while an investigation continues, a Haitian judge said Thursday, giving the Americans their best news since their arrests nearly two weeks ago.

Judge Bernard SaintVil has the final word on whether to free the missionaries, though he gave the prosecutor-general the opportunity to raise objections. He said he was accepting defense attorneys’ request to provisionally free the Americans while an investigation of the case continues.

It is unclear when the

missionaries, most from an Idaho Baptist church group, might be released.

EXTRA UN TROOPS SET FOR HAITI UNITED NATIONS – The U.N. says more than 15 countries have offered the 3,500 extra troops and police officers it requested to beef up security in Haiti and ensure that aid is delivered.

After 1 month of chaos, Haitians help themselves PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – In the month since the worst disaster in Haitian history, an enormous international aid effort has not provided the people of Marassa 14 with the food, shelter and security they need.

So they built a new community from scratch.

Cardboard street signs mark the rows of makeshift plastic tents where more than 2,500 people sleep in the

dirt. Handwritten ID cards stamped by a security committee show who belongs, and women serve cheap fried plantains and breadfruit for families struggling to feed their children.

One month after 200,000 were killed, Haiti’s endlessly resilient people are struggling to recreate their lives.

Food has yet to reach all of the 3 million people who need it.

US, Afghan troops ring Taliban stronghold NEAR MARJAH, Afghanistan (AP) – U.S. and Afghan forces ringed the Taliban stronghold of Marjah on Thursday, sealing off escape routes and setting the stage for what is being described

as the biggest offensive of the nine-year war.

Taliban defenders repeatedly fired rockets and mortars trying to lure NATO forces into skirmishes before the big attack.

Dems offer smaller jobs bill for support WASHINGTON – Stung by criticism that a bipartisan jobs bill emerging in the Senate wouldn’t create many jobs, Senate Democrats on Thursday proposed a new, stripped-down version they hope will still get support from both Republicans and Democrats.

Republicans, however, accused Democrats of reneging on their deal, putting in jeopardy a shortlived attempt at bipartisan lawmaking.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s latest bill focuses on several popular provisions aimed at boosting job creation.

Obama report: 95,000 jobs to come each month WASHINGTON – The United States is likely to add an average of 95,900 more jobs each month this year, while personal savings will remain high as credit remains tight, according to a White House report released Thursday.

With the public souring on Obama’s handling of the economy, the White House’s Council of Economic Advisers’ report trumpeted the $787 billion economic stimulus package as creating or saving some 2 million jobs. Facing a tough election season for fellow Democrats, Obama’s team used its annual report to blame the economy they inherited.

Haitian children begin enrolling in US schools MIRAMAR, Fla.– Some of the children arrived with no school records at all, some with only the clothes on their backs. A few still bear scrapes and bruises. All carry terrible memories.

Nearly 1,000 youngsters who survived Haiti’s catastrophic earthquake have enrolled in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area’s public schools, joining the largest concentration of Haitians in the United States.

NEW YORK (AP) – Former President Bill Clinton, who had quadruple bypass surgery more than five years ago, was hospitalized Thursday to have a clogged heart artery opened after suffering chest pains.

Spin meter: Air safety gains questioned WASHINGTON (AP) – For months, FAA chief Randy Babbitt has been talking up the safety initiatives his agency launched after a regional airliner crashed near Buffalo, N.Y., a year ago, killing 50 people.

He says he’s “very pleased with the progress.�

But much of that progress is more illusion than reality. Despite Babbitt’s claims, the Federal Aviation Administration has failed on key fronts to require improved airline safety.

The agency has missed its own deadlines for overhauling pilot-fatigue regulations and is still rewriting rules to improve crew training. It also hasn’t done anything to address tiring long-distance commutes by regional companies’ pilots.

– or knows someone who does – in every part of the country. Regional airlines now account for about half of domestic departures and a quarter of all passengers, and they are the only scheduled service to more than 400 communities. The Buffalo crash raised concerns that those smaller companies aren’t being held to the same level of safety as the major carriers.

Long-distance commutes by pilots before they take off were an issue in the Buffalo crash, but all the FAA has done is say it will ask stakeholders what they think should be done. Babbitt already has their answer: Airlines and pilots unions told him last summer they don’t want to regulate commuting.

Autopsy: Gunshot killed teen

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The victim in the city’s most recent homicide died from a gunshot wound to the chest, according to an autopsy report.

The newly released findings by the North Carolina Office of the Chief Medical Examiner say a single bullet wound to Kinitez Dante Gilbert caused extensive damage to the 19year-old High Point man that proved fatal after a confrontation on a Southside street Dec. 21.

The report stated Gilbert “was shot by acquaintances, and collapsed on the street.”

He was found lying in the 300 block of Ennis Street. A pair of 17-year-olds – Johnathan Brandon Mack of Forrest Street and Trevorri Jamel McFadden of Tracer Place – have been charged with murder in Gilbert’s death.

According to police search warrants, Mack was driving a 1992 Honda Accord through Southside when he got into a confrontation with Gilbert in which the victim threw a brick through one of the car’s windows.

Evidence in the case includes statements from two witnesses, DNA material from door handles, the steering wheel and gear shifter of the Honda, as well as “trace evidence” from the front and rear seats, according to the warrants.

Mack has been held at the Guilford County Jail in High Point without bond since his arrest. McFadden remained jailed Wednesday under a $500,000 bond.

Two other teenagers have been charged in connection with Gilbert’s death.

Marqualis Nyquan Parson, 16, of Vine Street, and Antwain Orlando Owens, 18, of True Lane, face accessory-after-the-fact charges. Parson remained jailed Wednesday under a $250,000 bond. Owens has been released on bond.

Gilbert’s autopsy report found no factors besides the gunshot wound may have contributed to his death. A postmortem test for alcohol was negative. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Two volunteer sessions remain this month: • Tuesday: 6-8 p.m., Dean B. Pruette SCALE Academy, 900 English Road, High Point.

• Feb. 24: 8:30-10:30 a.m., High Point Chamber of Commerce, 1634 N. Main St., High Point.

and Oak View. Volunteer tutors will attend two-hour orientation sessions prior to scheduling time to work with students. The sessions will include training that will prepare the volunteers to work one-on-one with second-grade students. The eight-week program begins March 1 and continues through April 30.

The collaboration includes

several partners: GCS, Communities in Schools and the High Point Chamber of Commerce.

The program builds off of last year’s “Hands Up High Point.” The community initiative was developed in response to the goals and objectives identified in High Point’s Workforce Development Strategic Plan and the goals in the district’s strategic plan.

With the recent launch of the school district’s “One Million Books” initiative, the tutoring program is an opportunity for community members to support the campaign by helping students become more engaged in reading, said volunteer Michael Prioleau.

The district campaign will encourage each student to read 14 books this year. With the help of local Rotary clubs, the program began at four elementary schools this fall. The Greensboro and High Point public libraries also are supporting the program.

In this 2006 file photo, British fashion designer Alexander McQueen aknowledges applause after the presentation of his ready-to-wear fall/winter 2006-2007 fashion collection, in Paris.

British fashion designer McQueen found dead at 40 LONDON (AP) — His runway shows were often like performance pieces: One featured models with headwear made of trash. Another showed off 10-inch heels shaped like lobster claws.

At the pinnacle of his success, British fashion designer Alexander McQueen was found dead in his home Thursday, days after posting anguished online remarks about the death of his mother.

He was 40.

The circumstances pointed to a possible suicide, but there was no confirmation from police or McQueen’s publicists. Authorities said the death was not suspicious, apparently ruling out foul play. They did not indicate how McQueen was discovered.

The Sun tabloid cited an anonymous source on its Web site who said workers found McQueen hanging in his apartment. The newspaper gave no further details.

His family issued a state-

suit. It is noteworthy that the government has declined to intervene in this action,” he said.

The lawsuit was filed in 2008 in the eastern district of Virginia by the Davises, a married couple, and was recently unsealed after the Justice Department passed on the case. Melan Davis, who said she handled some record-keeping and billing roles at Blackwater, said in a signed court statement that she found that a prostitute in Afghanistan had been placed on Blackwater’s payroll under the “Morale Welfare Recreation” category.

Davis, who was fired from the company and is challenging her dismissal, said she also helped with record-keeping for Blackwater’s response in Louisiana to Hurricane Katrina. Among other charges of excessive billing there, Davis said two workers paid a vendor for “cleaning services.”

ment asking for privacy.

McQueen is credited with helping revive the once-moribund British fashion industry. His edgy pieces were coveted and treasured by stylish women across the globe and seen on numerous red carpets.

Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour called McQueen “one of the greatest talents of his generation.”

“He brought a uniquely British sense of daring and aesthetic fearlessness to the global stage of fashion. In such a short career, Alexander McQueen’s influence was astonishing — from street style, to music culture and the world’s museums,” she said in a statement. “His passing marks an insurmountable loss.”

McQueen did not design for the celebrities, but they flocked to him for the sheer audacity of his creations, which were instantly recognizable for being dramatic.

Project proceeds benefit High Point charity

Board fires liaison for business owners MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

GREENSBORO – The Guilford County Board of Education fired the man responsible for helping minority business owners apply for contracts with the system.

Todd Baldwin, Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises coordinator, originally resigned from the job last month after being suspended with pay since Dec. 1.

He rescinded his resignation shortly after that, according to school district officials. The board voted 8-1 to fire Baldwin during Tuesday night’s board meeting.

Because of federal laws, some employees can rescind their resignations.

Baldwin was suspended with pay pending an investigation by the school district, but the details of that investigation and what allegations prompted it have not been released.

Baldwin was a featured member of the Aspire Foundation, an organization that claimed to do much of the same work Baldwin was doing with the school district. The goal of the group, reportedly a nonprofit, was to help black business owners network and provide education and leadership opportunities.

The organization’s Web site was not working Wednesday.

High Point board member Carlvena Foster voted against the firing, and board member Deena Hayes, who attended only the last hour or so of the meeting via telephone, abstained from the vote because she did not participate in the closed-session discussions on the matter.

Marriage threatened by husband’s depressions

D

ear Abby: I have been married nine years, but moved to my own apartment two months ago. I’m 35; my husband, “Art,� is 51. Our marriage was fine until two years ago, when he became depressed over his job and we started fighting. He didn’t want to do anything, including have sex, and he quit his job. I paid the bills until he started a new job, but he became depressed again. Then he started drinking. We talked, we cried and stormed. Art refused counseling and wouldn’t stop drinking.

Our fights were verbal, but I was afraid if I stayed they’d escalate and I’d be physically hurt. That’s when I moved.

Art now has a job he likes. He has cut back on his drinking and is the sweet, loving man I married. He wants to reconcile. He says he was depressed and thinks the difference in our ages excuses the fact that I am sexual and he isn’t – and that I want to go places and do things, but he doesn’t.

I am confused. I miss the “good� us. I love my husband and don’t want anyone else, but I’m afraid to go back. If I give up my apartment and he gets depressed with his new job, I’ll be in a situation I won’t be able to get out of. On the one hand, I think we deserve another chance. On the other, I

ADVICE Dear Abby

don’t want to feel like I’m 100 years old when I’m only 35.

Any advice would be appreciated. – Can’t Decide in Ohio

â– â– â–

Dear Can’t Decide: Agree to go back only after you and your husband have had at least six months of professional couples counseling. The combination of depression, drinking, your age difference and his chronic job dissatisfaction all need to be fully addressed, or your relationship will never be healed.

Dear Abby: My wife is addicted to her cell phone. Whenever we’re out together it’s impossible to converse with her because she always has one or two text conversations going on.

The first thing I hear in the morning is her phone buzzing, notifying her of an incoming text. The last thing I hear at night is her sending a goodnight message to one of her friends. If no texts are coming in, she plays games on her phone even if we’re watching TV or if company is over.

I have told her it’s making me crazy, but she won’t stop. The constant

clicking drives me up the wall. I feel as though I have lost my wife to her phone. Am I being overly sensitive? What do I do? – Click-crazy in California Dear Click-crazy: Your wife’s behavior does appear to be obsessive. You need to figure out whether she’s using her cell phone to avoid an intimate relationship with you, or whether she really has developed an addiction to the device.

Because the “last thing you hear at night� isn’t an affectionate comment directed to you, but rather something being “clicked� to a friend – it may be the former.

To find out if she’s addicted, offer her a challenge. Tell her you feel the cell phone is interfering with your relationship. If she denies it, suggest she stop using it. If she can’t put it down for an agreed-upon period of time, persuade her in a loving way to admit she needs help. The good news is treatment is available for this kind of compulsive disorder once she has been diagnosed by a mental health professional.

DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2010 www.hpe.com

HAPPY VALENTINE â&#x20AC;&#x2122; S DAY! V â&#x20AC;&#x2122; D C P

Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, which occurs every February 14, is a holiday that celebrates love in the United States and in many other countries around the world, including England and France. The origins of Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day are attributed to a Catholic priest, known today as Valentine. Valentine lived in the time of the Roman Empire under Emperor Claudius. Claudius frowned upon marriage and hence banned it. Priest Valentine disobeyed the emperorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orders and married couples anyway. Valentine was murdered on January 14 for violating the law. The priest was canonized into sainthood for his contributions to the institution of marriage. What we know as Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day was born in the late middle ages. Catholic feasts in celebration of the martyred priest began the traditional celebration of love.

Although Saint Valentine contributed to the creation of Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, many cultures have attributed the middle of February to the celebration of love. Ancient Athenians celebrated the marriage of Hera and Zeus during what is now mid-February. The Ancient Romans also had a festival called Lupercalia on the 15th day of February that was associated with the celebration of love. Lupercus was the Roman God of Fertility. Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day has also been attributed to the teachings of Valentinius, a Christian philosopher from Rome. Some believe the Roman roots of Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day are merely myths and attribute the true origin of the day to the traditional mating of doves on February 14 in England and France in the 14th Century. No matter the true origins of Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, it is one of the most popular holidays in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s society.

Army discharging single mom who refused deployment SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A single-mom soldier who says she refused to deploy to Afghanistan because she had no family able to care for her young son will be discharged from the military instead of facing a courtmartial, the Army said Thursday.

Spc. Alexis Hutchinson Hutchinson, an Army cook stationed at Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, was arrested in November after skipping her unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deployment flight.

Hutchinson, 21, said she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave her son because her mother had backed out of plans to keep the child a few days before the soldierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scheduled departure. The Army filed criminal charges last month against Hutchinson of Oakland, Calif., but a general at neighboring Fort Stewart chose to settle the case by granting her an administrative discharge.

Firefighters arrived at 10:44 a.m. to respond to the report of smoke and evacuated a Radio Shack store, Daly said.

Building workers were told via the public address system that there was a fire on the sidewalk but not to be alarmed, Paplin said.

About 11:20, the explosion happened, with the fireball reaching three stories high. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a pretty powerful explosion,â&#x20AC;? Daly said.

Another announcement instructed those in the building to evacuate using a back staircase.

Mumps outbreak in NY, NJ tops 1,500 ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A mumps outbreak among Orthodox Jews in New York and New Jersey has now surpassed 1,500 cases and shows no sign of ending soon, health officials said Thursday.

The 7-month-old outbreak began last summer at a boys camp in the Catskills. The campers were from Orthodox Jewish families, and cases multiplied when they returned to their closeknit communities in and around New York City.

Most had a mumps vaccination, but the shots donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

out for a report of smoke coming out of a manhole.

He said firefighters had been out all night to deal with manhole fires because of runoff from snow and salt coming into contact with electrical grids below ground.

Carol Paplin, who works for an office furniture dealership on the sixth floor of the building on Sixth Avenue in the Chelsea district, said she detected a sulfur odor as she approached the building at 10:30 a.m., but as she got to the entrance the smell faded and she went inside.

Did wrong diagnosis hurt father?

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I ask you for an honest opinion on a potential medical-legal matter. My 82-year-old father has been treated for Parkinson’s disease for almost two years.

The medicine prescribed didn’t improve him one bit. I took him to a neurologist for a second opinion about a week ago.

It turns out my father doesn’t have Parkinson’s disease; he has progressive supranuclear palsy.

Could those two years of treatment for an erroneous diagnosis have made him worse off? I think they could have. – S.S.

BLONDIE

B.C.

As honest and impartial as I can be in this situation, which is so charged with emotion, I believe you’re wasting time and money seeking legal redress.

Progressive supranuclear palsy, or PSP, is a relatively newly described illness whose early signs and symptoms mimic those of Parkinson’s disease. It often takes a couple of years before a doctor arrives at the correct diagnosis.

Furthermore, drugs used for Parkinson’s disease are often used for PSP, although they are not as effective in PSP. Your father’s prognosis would not have been materially altered if he had had the correct diagnosis from day one.

Difficulty in walking and a tendency to fall are early signs of PSP, and they are signs of Parkinson’s disease, too. Rigid muscles and slow movement are two other PSP signs, and they are Par-

kinson’s signs also.

In time, however, a sign develops that’s unique to PSP. It is HEALTH the inability of Dr. Paul the patient Donohue to move ■■■ his eyes downward and then upward. That inability increases the risk of falling and makes reading impossible. The patient cannot aim the eyes correctly to follow the next line of print.

I can tell you something that would benefit your dad much more than the time spent in seeking legal advice. Contact the Foundation for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.

The foundation will supply you with the latest information on it and will give you a better understanding of what’s going on and what to expect.

The foundation’s phone number is 800-457-4777 and its Web site is www. psp.org.

Incidentally, the famous musician, writer and actor Dudley Moore, who starred in many films, including “10” and “Arthur,” was a victim of PSP. Dear Dr. Donohue: My doctor is an older man and a good friend. I respect him greatly. He has been an excellent doctor for me and my wife.

The doctor harps on us to get a tetanus shot. We are both 67. It seems like something that should be done for younger people.

Do you think this is necessary? – R.M.

It is necessary if you want to be protected against tetanus – lockjaw.

It’s an illness that is pure torture.

In both Canada and the United States, older people are the ones most likely to be infected with the tetanus bacterium.

That’s because protection from the vaccine lasts only 10 years. For that reason, recommendations are for 10-year booster shots of the vaccines until death.

I’m with your doctor.

Dear Dr. Donohue: My wife had great trouble in controlling her bladder. She would leak urine from time to time and found this most troubling. She read about Kegel exercises in your column and asked her doctor if she could try them. He encouraged her to do so. They have worked quite well. I have the same trouble, and wonder if they will work for a man. Will they?

– J.S. They work for men if the men have lost bladder control because of weak bladder support and weakness of the muscles that hold the bladder closed. The exercises require you to learn how to contract those muscles. You do so by stopping urination in midstream. Tighten those muscles 10 consecutive times when you are sitting, lying in bed or standing. Do so three times a day. Hold each contraction for 10 seconds. It takes at least a month before you notice a difference.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. (AP) – Evander Holyfield’s wife claims the boxing great hit her several times after an argument about her payments to their church, and she has received a temporary protective order against him.

Candi Holyfield, the boxer’s third wife, said her 47-year-old husband hit her in the face, the back of the head and her back on the night of

Feb. 1 after she refused to show him check stubs of her giving to the Holyfield c h u r c h , according to Fayette County court records. He was concerned she was not giving to the church.

“He said that I was being disrespectful,” Candi Holyfield, 30, said.

His petition claimed his wife, Victoria, has engaged in “outrageous conduct” in the past year Hopper and was accompanied by a doctor’s declaration that his treatment for prostate cancer required him to eliminate unnecessary stress.

BOSTON (AP) – Olympic skater Nancy Kerrigan said Thursday that she and her family plan to help her brother fight a state medical examiner’s finding that her father’s death last month was a homicide after a fight.

Daniel Kerrigan, 70, died Jan. 24 after what authorities said was a struggle with his son, Mark, 45, who was charged with assault.

In a letter released Thursday, Nancy Kerrigan thanked friends and fans for their support and says the weeks since her father’s death have been “a sad moment for us all.”

“And it isn’t over yet, particularly with the ruling this week about the cause of my dad’s death; a ruling, by the way, which we think was unjustified and which we plan to help my brother fight,” Kerrigan wrote in the letter.

Parkview students re-enact local history

BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – Four third-graders at Parkview A+ Magnet School know what it’s like to be leaders of the civil rights movement, at least for a day.

The four boys on Jan. 28 dressed to portray The Greensboro Four, who staged the Feb. 1, 1960, sit-in at the F.W. Woolworth lunch counter in Greensboro.

Using photos taken of the sitin, the boys – Tyrese Graham, Raheen Johnson, Christian McLendon and Roderick White – dressed as much as possible like The Greensboro Four. They chose items from the Parkview drama teacher’s clothes closet and remained dressed and tried to stay in character the entire day.

The scenario for the day was

that The Greensboro Four were visiting the classroom of Susie Bland, who planned the project.

At lunch, the boys went to the school cafeteria, shook hands with students and talked about what it was like to stage the sitin and to be leaders of the civil rights movement.

“It was supposed to be like they were visiting us and telling us what the experience was like for them and how they changed the world and what it was like back then,” Bland said.

“At Parkview, a lot of the kids are African-American, and this is their heritage, and they need to know about it.”

Bland’s special project was part of a curriculum suggested

by Guilford County Schools for study on Feb. 1 of the Greensboro sit-in. Several classes at Parkview

expanded the one-day curriculum.

Bland discussed with her students what conditions under segregation were like, what it meant to be courageous and how The Greensboro Four changed the world.

Her students wrote poems and worked in coloring and information booklets. On Feb. 1 and following 50th-anniversary events in Greensboro, Bland brought in all the newspapers she could gather and went over coverage with her students.

This week, her students continued studying black history, looked frequently at a color photograph of their classmates in costume and remembered their part in the day Parkview’s special Greensboro Four visited. vknopfler@hpe.com / 888-3601

‘Actors’ enjoyed their special day

BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – Parkview school’s young Greensboro Four this week spoke about their day portraying the real Greensboro Four.

The boys agreed that dressing in suits and ties was lots of fun, and several of them said that being an important person when they grow up means being a policeman.

The following are selected comments: • “Wearing a suit was fun, and telling (people) you were one of those real guys trying to eat. ... I felt proud of myself, like I was the

popular-est kid in school. ... I’d like to be a lawyer, but I really want to be a basketball star.” – Christian McLendon.

• “We got to wear the suits, and we went to the cafeteria, and we shook people’s hands around school, and we got to pick out our own suits to wear. I learned that people couldn’t, like, when I wasn’t even born, that people couldn’t sit where they wanted to and didn’t have the right to vote and were slaves and had to do whatever people wanted. ... (Franklin McCain) was the one that changed the world.

“I wanted to be a fireman, then I changed my mind to be police, then

I wanted to be a football player and a movie star.” – Roderick White.

• “We got to sit back here at the Woolworth’s. ... We learned that they were good people and changed the laws. ... I want to be police because you get to drive around and pass lights when you cut your sirens on.” – Raheen Johnson.

• “I liked when we wore clothes and went to the cafeteria. At first, I was shy, but I took a deep breath. ... I learned that they changed the world. (If I could change the world) I would give money to Haiti. ... I want to be police ’cause they help people.”

– Tyrese Graham.

Tom Magnusson, president of the Trading Path Association in Hillsborough and a member of the Speakers Bureau Association for the N.C. Humanities Council, will be the guest speaker at the Wednesday meeting of the High Point Museum Guild.

He will speak on “Trading Paths, Colonial Roads and Transportation in the Piedmont.”

Friday, Feb. 12, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Christina Ricci, 30; Darren Aronofsky, 41; Joanna Kerns, 57; Ray Manzarek, 71 Happy Birthday: This is a great year to stabilize your life, your dreams, hopes and wishes for the future. You will know instinctively what will work for you. More power and authority are heading your way and with it will come responsibilities, giving you the clout and recognition you’ve been waiting for. A change in direction will give you a new lease on life. Your numbers are 3, 11, 15, 22, 35, 40, 46 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Favors are highlighted. Take on a physical challenge that will boost your confidence and get you moving. Dealing with children and elders will give you greater insight into subjects that you can use to help you get ahead. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are wasting time if you think someone is going to come along and do things for you. Get the ball rolling and you will attract the help you need. Trust your own skills and aptitude. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Mixing business with pleasure will help you formulate an effective plan for advancement. Your timing is good with regard to work, creativity and getting your plans off the ground. Talks will lead to productivity and a new direction. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Call the shots before someone else tries to. Make it clear that you cannot be pushed or coerced into anything you don’t want to do. Once you have established your position, you can follow your own path successfully. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Concentrate on what you need to do to get what you want. You can entice people to follow you by using your charm and finding unique ways to entertain. Recognition and success can be yours if you are industrious. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have just as much to offer as anyone else and can probably do a better job if you put your mind to it. Invest in yourself. A social activity that involves a challenge will allow you to show what you are capable of accomplishing. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Networking and attending social gatherings will bring you in contact with people who can help you get ahead.

You’ll get plenty of interest in what you are doing but be careful not to fall for someone’s slick offer. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll face criticism as well as praise. Don’t let either influence what you are trying to accomplish. An old friendship can mislead you when you least expect.

Try to make your own decisions. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Refuse to let anyone sidetrack you. Avoid get-rich-quick schemes. You operate best when you feel safe and secure, so don’t step into a lifestyle that will cause you to live on the edge. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your energetic attitude will create a stir. Your interest in what everyone is doing and the possibilities that exist will lead to new friends and plenty of excitement.

You can enhance your financial situation by giving a new look to an old idea. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may get offers that are hard to resist but, if you aren’t wellversed in what’s being asked of you, don’t agree to the conditions. You have to make sure you will be successful before you engage in something that could affect your reputation adversely. ★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Hercules, having driven off the Stymphalian birds for his Sixth Labor, was charged by King Eurystheus to go to Crete and get the savage bull that belonged to King Minos.

“You can have the bull,” Minos said, “but first you must find a guaranteed play at this slam.”

Hercules pondered.

He could take the ace of hearts, draw trumps, cash the king of diamonds and finesse with the jack. But if East won and returned a club, declarer would have to guess whether to finesse or to rely on a 3-3 diamond break. To lead the A-K and a third diamond was better but not sure to succeed.

How would you play the slam?

INSPIRATION Zeus provided inspiration.

“After I draw trumps,” Hercules announced, “I take the K-A of diamonds, then lead dummy’s jack of hearts and discard my last diamond. West is end-played: A heart return concedes a ruffsluff, and a club yields a free finesse. If West had a diamond to lead, I’d be sure of a third diamond trick.”

“And that’s no bull,”

exclaimed the king.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K 10 9 8 H J 3 D A J 4 3 C 7 6 5. Your partner opens one heart, you respond one spade, he bids two clubs and you return to two hearts. Partner next bids two spades.

What do you say?

ANSWER: If partner held A J 5, A 9 6 5 2, 2, K J 8 4, he’d have been worth only two constructive bids and would have raised your one spade to two. When he bid again after your weak preference, he showed game interest. Since your values are maximum, try 3NT. 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.

Now that’s cold! NYC terrier mugged NEW YORK (AP) – A Brooklyn woman says a mugger stole a doggie coat right off the back of her mild-mannered terrier.

She heard a “funny bark.” When McPherson went outside, she found the little white dog shivering. His green wool

coat, with leather trim and belt, were nowhere in sight.

McPherson said the dog coat was worth $25. She said that, fortunately, Lexie wasn’t wearing his pricier Burberry.

Dueling fantastic finishes Kahne feels winning draft

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Kasey Kahne admitted that he wasn’t the best driver working the draft at Daytona and Talladega early in his career.

“When I started in Cup (in 2004), I got in a lot of wrecks on these (two) tracks,” Kahne said.

“That’s changed. I feel more comfortable. I feel I can make better moves and get in the right line more often than not.”

Kahne made the best move in the second Daytona 500 qualifier on Thursday. Getting a shove from Kurt Busch, Kahne took the lead from Tony Stewart going down the backstretch on the next-to-last lap and edged Stewart by just over a foot in a sideby-side finish.

The margin was measured as 15 one-thousandths of a second, huge compared to the .005 margin in Thursday’s first race.

Kahne made the winning move after pushing Stewart to the lead past Brian Vickers with six laps to go.

“Whenever I’m having a good day, it seems Tony is the guy I have to beat,” Kahne said. “I pushed him to the front and then Kurt pushed me hard. I had an open shot to get by Tony, and it ended up close. It was closer than I thought at the line. I couldn’t tell if I had won or not.”

Stewart charged to the front after a slow start.

“We made up a lot of

ground in the second half of the race,” Stewart said.

“We’ve still got a little work to do (before the 500), but that’s what we have two days to practice for.”

Kahne’s victory was his first at Daytona and came on the heels of a second-place finish in the Shootout Saturday night, making him a potential favorite in Sunday’s 500.

The strong start for Kahne comes after a switch to Ford by the Richard Petty Motorsports team that fields his cars.

Juan Pablo Montoya edged Kurt Busch as they finished side- by-side behind the first two. Elliott Sadler was fifth.

Mike Bliss and Scott Speed got spots in the 500 on the basis of their finishing positions. Bobby Labonte made the big show on the basis of his qualifying speed. Speed got in on his finish and allowed Michael Waltrip to make it on his qualifying speed.

Waltrip wrecked in the first qualifier. High Point’s Dave Blaney finished 23rd in the second race and was among 11 drivers who failed to qualify. Blaney had little chance after losing the draft.

“We just didn’t have any speed the whole time down here,” Blaney said.

“We went to the back and then couldn’t keep up with the draft. After that, I just had to hope that a bunch of cars ahead of us got tore up and we got a caution.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Jimmie Johnson (48) crosses the finish line .005 of a second ahead of Kevin Harvick to win the first of two 150-mile qualifying races for the Daytona 500 on Thursday.

Johnson holds off Harvick in first 150

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Despite working with a replacement car, Jimmie Johnson and crew chief Chad Knaus decided not to go conservative Thursday.

“Our plan was to go out and race as hard as we could, take chances, see if we could win,” Johnson said. “If we could win with this car, we would sleep well the nights leading up to the 500.”

He will snooze soundly – barring trouble in practice the next two days.

Knaus rolled the dice by eschewing a stop for fresh tires under a late caution to keep Johnson up front for a restart with six laps to go in the first of two 150-mile Daytona 500 qualifying races. Johnson did the rest, holding off Kevin Harvick by about a foot to win. The margin of victory at the end of 60 laps was .005 of a second, the second closest measured in a Duel since the implementation of electronic timing in 1993. The closest was .004 when Mike Skinner edged Dale Earnhardt Jr. in 2001.

Knaus gave much of the credit to Johnson being able to take a car with worn tires and hold off a pack on fresh tires. Knaus and Johnson were forced to go to a spare Chevrolet after Johnson crashed in practice Wednesday. That car was repaired at the Hendrick Motorsports shop in Concord and brought back to the track.

“Jimmie gets an awful lot of credit for what went on out there today,” Knaus said.

“He drove masterfully. He was at a complete disadvantage to those guys and he outdrove them. I think that is another thing that bodes well for him and the team.”

Harvick appeared that he might make a sprint to victory when he went to the outside of Johnson and got a shove from his teammate Clint Bowyer going down the backstretch on the final lap. Harvick edged ahead in turns three and four before Johnson fought back. Harvick won the 2007 Daytona 500 by going to the outside of Mark Martin on the final lap.

“I knew I was in trouble on this one,” Harvick said. “I was ahead of him coming about halfway through the short chute (between turn four and the finish line) and then with the side draft, he beat me to the tri-oval. Hey, you win some, you lose some. All you can ask for is a chance.”

Kyle Busch edged Bowyer for third. Regan Smith was fifth. Michael McDowell and Max Papis, a pair of road racers trying to get established in Cup, were the two drivers who raced their way into the 500.

They finished 14th and 15th, respectively.

Starting on the front row beside Johnson on the final restart, Papis appeared that he might not make it when he dropped to the rear of the lead draft. But, he charged past Todd Bodine coming through turns three and four on the final lap to earn his spot.

“Where in the world does a guy from an 800person village in the north of Italy make the Daytona 500?” Papis said. “I am speechless.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

made their run they didn’t falter.

We just kept battling.”

HPU led 43-35 at halftime after shooting 65 percent from the field.

In last month’s loss, the Panthers didn’t score their 43rd point until 7:16 remained in the game.

Coastal fought all the way back,

however, forcing ties at 61-all and 63-all. Eugene Harris answered the first time with a tough bank shot in the lane, while Corey Law kept the Panthers ahead moments later with an impressive shot fake and drive to the hoop for two more.

Harris, who finished with 14 points, bulled his way into the lane for another tough basket to make it 67-63 with 46.9 seconds to play before Coastal cut the lead to two 10 seconds later with Joseph Harris’ free throws.

The Panthers lost their chance to ice it, though, when Eugene Harris was called for an offensive foul at the 25-second mark.

After two Coastal timeouts, Mario Edwards got a good look at a 3-pointer that came up short. Joseph Harris snared the rebound in the lane for but a second before Tehran Cox swooped in for a steal and drove the length of the court for a clinching layup.

“As soon as he tried to make his

move, I dove for the ball and it fell in my hands,” Cox said. “I didn’t want to put extra pressure on myself to hit both free throws. I just used my speed and got an open layup.”

Cox only scored four points thanks to foul trouble that plagued him, Nick Barbour and Law all night. Jairus Simms came off the bench to spark the backcourt with 12 points and five assists, while Earnest Bridges starred in the paint, going 5-for-5 from the field and scoring 13 points.

“We know we have to be ready at any point to contribute as much as we can to help the team win,” Bridges said of the role the reserves played.

Added Cherry, whose team hopes to continue the momentum with Saturday’s televised home game against Charleston Southern: “It was a team effort for us.

We need those guys.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

HPU’s Cruz Daniels rejects a shot

by Coastal Carolina’s Chad Gray on Thursday night.

or a few moments, Danica Patrick sounded a little bit like Sheryl Crow or Cyndi Lauper.

Trying to explain why she is trying stockcar racing, the diminutive IndyCar princess said she just wants to have fun.

“Originally my big reason for wanting to come and drive stock cars was I think the racing looked fun, and now I know it,” Patrick said. “I don’t doubt there are going to be hard days, just like in IndyCar, where you want to park it.”

They are so much fun that she doesn’t know which form of racing she likes the best, even though she has less than a week of competition in stock cars.

“It’s like having two kids,” Patrick said. “I can’t pick.”

HOCKEY CAROLINA BUFFALO (OT)

Panthers weather Coastal storm for key win HIGH POINT – There was no fight in a High Point team that got blown out at Coastal Carolina last month.

There was no denying a spirited Panthers’ squad Thursday night against the Big South Conferenceleading Chanticleers.

High Point’s men built a 15-point first-half lead and weathered the storm throughout the second half for a 69-65 win in front of 1,387 fans at the Millis Center. The victory put the brakes on Coastal’s race to a league championship – the Chants fell to 21-5 overall and 11-3 in the league – and may go a long way toward High Point (12-12, 7-6) making some noise during the Big South homestretch.

“I give all the credit to my guys,” Panthers coach Scott Cherry said.

“They did everything I asked them to do. Even when (the Chants)

TOP SCORES

Patrick, because of her fame as a mildly successful IndyCar driver and the novelty of having a chance of being the first female to make an impact in NASCAR in decades, is drawing as much attention as anything this week at Daytona International Speedway.

And, she’s not in the main event, just in the Nationwide race on Saturday. She’s overshadowing everything connected with the 500.

Drivers don’t normally come into the media center after practice, but Patrick did for an interview session with those ready to cover the Daytona 500 qualifying races.

Patrick was also apologetic about the media attention she is drawing.

“I can’t control how much is out there and what people say,” Patrick said. “I don’t by

any means want to take away from the amazing drivers who are out there. ... That’s not my mission.”

Her mission is to go all 300 miles on Saturday. She realizes that will be more of a challenge than it was to go all 200 miles on the way to a sixth-place finish in the ARCA race.

She’s finding the Nationwide car is harder to drive. She still hasn’t gotten the car to her liking.

“These cars are a little bit more on the edge,” Patrick said. “You have to get up on the wheel.”

Patrick can certainly prove that she’s more than a product of a hype machine if she gets up on the wheel on Saturday.

At his fifth Olympics, it’s a first for luge athlete Mark Grimmette, chosen to be the flagbearer for the U.S. team at today’s opening ceremony.

Grimmette won the vote of the American delegation Wednesday and will lead the team of 216 U.S. athletes. The 39-year-old Grimmette already has bronze and silver Olympic medals.

Grimmette, Nordic combined skier Todd Lodwick and freestyle skier Casey Puckett are all making their fifth appearance in the Winter Olympics.

DURHAM (AP) – Duke forward Lance Thomas is doubtful for Saturday’s game against Maryland with what team officials say is a severely bruised bone in his right knee.

The team made the announcement Thursday, one day after Thomas injured his knee early in the second half of the eighth-ranked Blue Devils’ 64-54 victory against rival North Carolina.

Thomas has started all but one game this season for Duke (20-4, 8-2 Atlantic Coast Conference).

The senior averages 5.7 points and 4.9 rebounds while bringing muchneeded interior toughness for the ACC-leading Blue Devils. He was hurt in a collision with Larry Drew II with about 17 minutes left in Wednesday night’s game.

Glavine rejoins Braves as assistant to Schuerholz

ATLANTA (AP) — Tom Glavine has rejoined the Atlanta Braves as special assistant to team president John Schuerholz.

The 43-year-old former pitcher will work with Schuerholz on baseball and business projects and will occasionally assist general manager Frank Wren and manager Bobby Cox. Glavine also will be on the Braves radio pregame show at times and be a guest analyst on game broadcasts.

Glavine was 305-203 with a 3.54 ERA from 1987-08, winning 20 games or more five times in 17 seasons with the Braves and spending five years with the New York Mets. He was a 10-time All-Star, won the NL Cy Young Award with Atlanta in 1991 and 1998 and helped the Braves win the 1995 World Series.

Olympics to kick off with indoor opening ceremony

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — The Vancouver Olympics begin today, and so far the conditions are almost as big a story as the athletes. A women’s downhill training session at Whistler was called off Thursday because of fog after American Stacey Cook crashed. Over at Cypress Mountain, officials have had to transport snow by truck to maintain the freestyle and snowboarding venues.

One event that shouldn’t be affected by the weather is the opening ceremony, which is being held indoors for the first time and will highlight NBC’s coverage Friday night. As usual, there’s plenty of speculation about who will light the flame, with hockey great Wayne Gretzky a popular pick.

There’s also some actual competition Friday. Ski jumping qualifying on the normal hill starts before the opening ceremony.

Thursday’s Vancouver Olympics developments Developments Thursday at the Vancouver Winter Olympics: VONN COURSE: Lindsey Vonn skied for the first time since badly bruising her right shin last week, and she said the injury was “finally progressing a bit.” Vonn is an overwhelming favorite to win the downhill and super-G — and perhaps other medals.

WHISTLER WEATHER WOES: First came fears of not enough snow at Cypress Mountain, the freestyle and snowboarding venue.

That area got 4 inches of snow Wednesday, but rain and fog Thursday hampered moguls training. The fog and rain on the Olympic downhill course in Whistler also forced a halt to the women’s training session after American Stacey Cook slammed into the safety netting.

Temperatures there hovered above freezing — making the course soft.

RAISE THE ROOF: Today’s opening ceremony will be held indoors for the first time, with lots of guessing on which Canadian will light the cauldron inside the 60,600-seat domed BC Place arena. Wayne Gretzky is a popular pick.

So’s Betty Fox, mother of late runner Terry Fox, whose inspirational 1980 cross-country marathon raised millions for cancer research.

And the choice of Canadian Alpine skier Jan Hudec? Pamela Anderson.

FIRST DOPING CASE: Russian hockey player Svetlana Terenteva has been reprimanded for the first doping violation of the Vancouver Olympics, although she remains eligible to compete. The IOC said she tested positive for a stimulant prohibited in competition but not out of competition. She admitted using a prescription drug for a cold last month but stopped using it Feb. 3, a day before Olympic drug-testing began.

Duke’s Miles Plumlee (left) is fouled by North Carolina’s Deon Thompson during the second half of the Blue Devils’ hard-fought 64-54 win at the Smith Center in Chapel Hill late Wednesday night.

Duke drops UNC in epic battle CHAPEL HILL (AP) – The shots kept clanging off the rim – open look after open look – yet Mike Krzyzewski repeatedly told his Duke players not to get frustrated.

Eventually, he told them, the shots would fall.

Once they did, the eighth-ranked Blue Devils grabbed control against their fiercest rival.

Jon Scheyer scored 24 points and Duke pulled away in the final minutes to beat North Carolina 64-54 on Wednesday night, snapping a threegame losing streak in the series.

Kyle Singler added 19 points for the Blue Devils (20-4, 8-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who shot poorly all night. But boasting a bigger and tougher front line than in years past, Duke dominated the boards and got plenty of extra looks to make up for all those misses.

It wasn’t pretty offensive basketball for either team, with few transition chances and both teams working for open looks in a game that turned into a halfcourt tussle.

It was the lowest-scoring game in the series since Duke’s 60-48 win in the 2002 ACC tournament.

“I thought it was a gritty performance,” Krzyzewski said. “The ball was not going in and they blocked a lot of shots. ... For us to keep up our

defense and rebounding when the ball wasn’t going in the basket was a big thing.”

The Blue Devils had lost six of seven meetings during a stretch that seemed to signal a shift in power between the programs back to the light blue in Chapel Hill. North Carolina (13-11, 2-7) has won two national championships, including last year in Detroit, since Duke last went to a Final Four in 2004.

Making things more satisfying for Duke, this win came on a night when the Tar Heels retired the No. 50 jersey of four-year star Tyler Hansbrough, who graduated as the storied program’s leading scorer and rebounder and the top scorer in ACC history.

“It just stinks losing to these guys,” said Nolan Smith, who managed 10 points on 4 for 14 shooting.

“To do it the amount of games we did in a row, and now to finally get this win, it feels great. Hopefully we can start this stretch of us winning games against them.”

Much like that low-scoring game in ’02, this loss only added to the Tar Heels’ misery in a season that is slipping away. North Carolina has lost eight of 10, including four in a row overall to fall near the bottom of the league standings.

The Tar Heels shot a season-low 35 percent and finished with its lowest point total in seven years under Roy Williams.

AP “We were right there and there’s North Carolina coach Roy Williams holds his head in disbeen a lot of games where we’ve may during Wednesday night’s loss to No. 8 Duke. been right there and one stretch made it worse than it was,” said Will Graves, who had a team-high 13 points. “I don’t take a moral vicCHAPEL HILL (AP) – for a game since his catory from it.

Bishop celebrates college-bound athletes Also taking part in the ceremony was Atticus Lum, a standout defender on the soccer field who signed with Coker College of the D-II Conference Carolinas.

Sadler played JV football Sadler as a freshman and continued as an oversized linebacker on varsity until two games remained in his junior season. He immediately took to the line, recording 19 tackles for loss â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including double-digit sacks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as a senior.

Bishop coach Charlie Jones praised Sadlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work ethic, recalling a player who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss a workout from June 15 on and who also stayed late with the coaches each Friday night while they broke down film.

BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

KERNERSVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Raleigh Sadler could tell his linebacker days were numbered quite a few years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw it coming,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started to gain a little more weight, saw that the line was going to need help. I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d move up.â&#x20AC;?

He did move up, and quickly became an immovable force for the Bishop McGuinness football team. On Thursday, the 6-foot-2, 305-pound defensive lineman took part in a signing day ceremony at the school. Sadler signed a National Letter of Intent last week with Campbell, which plays in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Pioneer League.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has some of the physical attributes, but what really distinguishes him from other players is he really understands the game,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His work ethic, his interest in the game and his desire all Lum came together this year.â&#x20AC;?

College coaches noticed, with Sadler leaning toward Winston-Salem State until head coach Kermit Blount was fired in November. The Camels then took center stage. Campbell just finished its second season of football in the non-scholarship PFL, and Sadler liked what he saw on his visit to Buies Creek. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The environment is smaller, like this school,â&#x20AC;? said Sadler, who is undecided on a major.

In Coker, Lum also found a small school in its â&#x20AC;&#x153;focus on academics and athletics like Bishop,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Hartsville, S.C. college â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about 25 minutes from Darlington and less than three hours from Kernersville â&#x20AC;&#x201C; won Lumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services over the likes of Scranton (Pa.), Gardner-Webb and Kenyon (Ohio).

Lum, who plans to major in biology, was impressed with the Cobras after first-year coach Paul Leese led the program to its first-ever Conference Carolinas (formerly the CVAC) championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came late into the picture,â&#x20AC;? said Lum, a central defender. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the coach a lot and I like the school and the atmosphere.â&#x20AC;? shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Martin, Earnhardt avoid Daytona risks HPCA nets sweep

M

ark Martin and Dale Earnhardt Jr. played it smart in their qualifying races Thursday.

Having won front-row starting positions for Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daytona 500, both decided to bail out of the lead draft and not risk getting in a wreck and having to start the biggest race of the year at the rear of the field in a replacement car.

Martin made his decision in the next-to-last-lap of the first race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It got a little bad there those last four laps and I was in the middle of it,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only way I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start on the pole of the Daytona 500 was to wad it up. So I conceded there was a lap and a half to go and I was too far back to win it. I just decided to start on the pole.â&#x20AC;?

Earnhardt took it easy in the second race after his Chevrolet sustained body damage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got banged around on the fenders a little bit,â&#x20AC;? Earnhardt said. When we came down pit road (under caution), we saw that the fender was pushed in to the tire pretty bad. They worked on it and that got us in the back a little bit, got us toward the back of the pack.

We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get up in there and race too hard and risk tearing the car up and having to pull the backup car out, that is a lot of work.â&#x20AC;?

SPORTS

NEW POLICY NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greenwhite-checkered â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; policy, which is intended to help produce a finish under the green flag, got a revision on Thursday.

Previously under the rule, if the caution flag was out at the end of the scheduled distance, races were extended until the green flag could wave for the running of two laps. If the caution was waved at anytime during the two laps, the field was frozen and the race essentially over.

Now, three attempts will be made to get to least one green flag lap after the restart. If the caution comes out after the leader takes the white flag, the race will be considered over.

NASCAR made the change after meeting with drivers on Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to do all we can to finish our races under green flag conditions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the fans want to see that and so do the competitors,â&#x20AC;? said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR vice president of competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We felt that putting a cap at three attempts to finish the race under green is the way to go. It gives the fans what they want and it also gives the teams a better opportunity to prepare for their end of race strategy.â&#x20AC;?

BIG SHOVE Brian Vickers got the lead for a lap in the second race before Tony Stewart pushed him out of the way with six laps to go.

After the tap, Vickers slid into the turn four wall. He finished 10th.

NASCAR introduced a Nationwide rookie of the year class of Colin Braun, James Buescher, Parker Kligerman, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Brian Scott on Wednesday.

None are known outside of mainstream racing circles and will be overshadowed by the other Nationwide newcomer this season, Danica Patrick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is going to bring new eyes to the series and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing,â&#x20AC;? said Kligerman, a Penske development driver who contended for the ARCA title last year.

FAST TIMES James Buescher was clocked as the fastest in the first Nationwide Series practice. Qualifying is today for Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 300-mile race, Buescher was clocked at 184.087 miles an hour.

Michael Annett, Eric McClure, Paul Menard and Patrick were the rest of the top five.

BOONE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Donald Sims scored 25 points, making all his attempts from both 3-point range and at the foul line, to lead Appalachian State in a 66-56 win over Davidson on Thursday night.

The Mountaineers improved to 15-10, 9-4 Southern Conference. Bryant Barr led Davidson (12-12, 7-5) with 15 points.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sergei Samsonov scored 1:47 into overtime and the Carolina Hurricanes beat Buffalo 4-3 on Thursday night, sending the slumping Sabres to their sixth straight loss.

Brandon Sutter had a goal and two assists, and Stephane Yelle and Ray Whitney also scored for Carolina, which gave coach Paul Maurice his 400th career victory by continuing its sharpest stretch of the season.

Counting the homeless is a sobering reality I

fear the day. I look forward to the day. Will my heart break? Will I feel sadness? Will I be scared?

Will I have compassion?

These are some of the conflicting emotions and questions that I am confronted with each year in anticipation of a day that has been indelibly etched deep within my soul.

That is the day that I accompany Raymond Payne into High Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;belly of ABOUT the beast,â&#x20AC;? where TOWN societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forgotten, Mary homeless, Bogest unwanted â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; and impoverished live an existence few of us can comprehend. On this day, it is our mission to find and count those people who have no place to call home whether they live in a shelter, on the streets, under bridges, in abandoned houses or in makeshift campsites in the woods.

This is Guilford Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Annual Point in Time Count to collect data on the number of individuals or families experiencing homelessness on any given night. The day proved to be much more than that as Payne allowed me to take a peek into his world.

As I told you in an earlier column, Payne was the first High Pointer to receive the Nancy Susan Reynolds Award by the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation for his unselfish â&#x20AC;&#x153;inspired and personal workâ&#x20AC;? with those who are homeless and in need. As you will find out, Payneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;life workâ&#x20AC;? with Open Door Ministries including the Housing First Program and his own Rabbit Quarter Ministry extends beyond serving the homeless.

My day with Payne started after lunch when Payne, Dennis Clark (formerly homeless and living in the woods) and myself all hopped into a pick-up truck donated to Open Door Ministries by John and Sarah Foster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a few stops to make before we find the homeless,â&#x20AC;?

Payne told me. We traveled roads I never have been on in High Point. We stopped at a brick apartment building. Payne and Clark unloaded the donated new mattresses from the bed of the truck. The door to one of the apartments opened.

The lady greeted Clark and Payne only to immediately return to curl up in a fetal position in a chair.

Diagnosed with terminal cancer, her days are numbered as she suffered all alone the side effects of her chemotherapy. She had no bed. Payne found the mattresses. At least she would have a bed to sleep on.

Soon we were back on the road, again traversing roads that were unfamiliar to me, most that I would not dare travel alone. Our mission on this stop was to deliver pots to a woman so she could cook her native African dishes for her

children.

Payne told me this story.

Both her family and her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family were brutally murdered and burned in war torn Liberia as she was forced to watch. She was probably saved from the same fate because of her beauty and â&#x20AC;&#x153;useâ&#x20AC;? to the men who committed these unfathomable crimes.

But that is not the worst of it. After her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s murder, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;savagesâ&#x20AC;? cut off her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head, put it in a soup and made her eat it. The unspeakable horrors continued as she walked 20 miles past bodies, many eaten by dogs, which would later be eaten by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;savages.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This woman is suffering from depression. I need to get her some mental health,â&#x20AC;?

Payne told me as we arrived at her apartment in a crime-riddled neighborhood. Payne first met her when she went to Open Door Ministries for food.

Payne handed me the pile of used pots and pans to take to her. The door opened and I was astonished to see that this beautiful woman could actually smile. Her home is neat. Open Door Ministries (Payne) helped to get all of her furniture through a nonprofit agency called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Home to Home,â&#x20AC;? where donated furniture is given to those in need.

I asked about her children, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are doing fine,â&#x20AC;? she told me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been through a lot but I must be there for my children. I have a strong faith.â&#x20AC;?

She has no transportation so she asked Payne if he could take her to the grocery store. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t today.

But I will tomorrow. Can you wait until then?â&#x20AC;? he asks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes,â&#x20AC;? she answers meekly and added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am just so thankful that I have a place to call my home.â&#x20AC;?

I did not ask her about Liberia. I liked her smile. I did not want her to cry.

On the road again, we stop to connect with Henry Shavitz, who often accompanies Payne on his endeavors. Clark rides with Shavitz and another volunteer, Barbara.

Payne speaks of a peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summit with homeless agencies, organizations and ministries working together to address the needs of the homeless population and its prevention as we arrive at a remote wooded area. The five of us walk a large pan of hot food along a well trodden path to a campsite. Several tarps make a primitive shelter.

When no one answers, we enter the â&#x20AC;&#x153;home.â&#x20AC;? A cat is laying on one of two â&#x20AC;&#x153;bedsâ&#x20AC;? separated from the ground by cardboard. One of the men, Payne tells me, had a basketball scholarship but a severe knee injury ended his career and he has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;drinking ever since.â&#x20AC;?

We put the food (securely balanced) on a tree limb so the men easily can find

it. As we leave, we notice a note on a tree which says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t here. You know what to do.â&#x20AC;?

This year, there are not as many overt camps in the woods as in previous years.

Camps that still exist have gone deeper into the woods to escape detection and possible destruction, and there is a Hispanic population of homeless, which is largely unknown. Racial congregation is normal among the homeless camps.

Our next stop is on a busy street lined with businesses amid a couple of vacant houses. About 20 men and women (all white) sit on the porches of abandoned houses during the day â&#x20AC;Ś drinking, drugging, panhandling and prostituting. They scatter at night to nearby sheds or the woods.

As we drive up, many approach, some will answer the questions posed on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homeless Demographic and Needs Surveyâ&#x20AC;? while others want the blankets or the donated â&#x20AC;&#x153;basic needsâ&#x20AC;? back packs that we give away. The bags are packed with various toiletry items.

Unfortunately many of these bags are quickly resold for drug money.

On the road again, Payne and I chat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want people to live like I did,â&#x20AC;?

Payne tells me. Payneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life includes addiction, homelessness and crime before he sought help through Open Door Ministries over 12 years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was my schooling for what I am doing now,â&#x20AC;? Payne says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was drugging, I would get clean and sober and put on a three-piece suit. It was blue. Then I would steal. I would shoplift. No one suspects a man in a three piece suit. Then I could get my drugs. I used to sell urine (he must have been a middleman) in front

of a drug clinic. Things are not always as they seem.â&#x20AC;?

We approach a wellknown drug infested street off of E. Green Drive. I have been there with Payne in previous years and have angered drug dealers and infiltrated drug gangs.

There have been firearms.

Our truck stops in front of a drug house where four people sit outside. Payne says to me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You stay in the truck.â&#x20AC;? Relieved, I am only too happy to comply.

All of a sudden, seemingly from every direction, the number swells from four to probably 20. Payne

gives out blankets and more backpacks, knowing they will probably be sold.

Payne does not preach his mission. He lives it. If someone truly wants out of the life they have chosen, Payne will help them get services. No one asks for help on this day.

On the road again, we see a group of men lingering in front of a house. It is cold but none have a coat on. They become quite animated as we arrive with blankets. This is a group of Sudanese and Congolese men who live together and drink together. They are

wary of Payne as he tries to give them blankets. I remain safely in the truck.

One of the men presses his face next to my windshield and says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;God Bless You.â&#x20AC;?

Next was a brief stop at a campsite strewn with blankets and debris underneath the bridge near the train station. For me, this would be my final stop of the day.

Payne would continue into night. To quote the Reynolds Foundation as the prestigious award was presented, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other cities have a homeless problem but what they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have is Raymond Payne.â&#x20AC;?

Marriott profits on improving market NEW YORK (AP) — Marriott International Inc. moved to a fourth-quarter profit as business travel improved and leisure travelers took advantage of promotions, the hotel operator said Thursday.Marriott also offered first-quarter and full-year earnings outlooks in range of analysts’ expectations and raised its guidance for a 2010 key revenue figure.

AutoNation earnings fall, but sales rise RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — AutoNation Inc. logged an 8 percent sales increase in the fourth quarter, a sign that supports the company’s contention that a recovery in auto sales is in progress.

The auto retailer, based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., also said Thursday it expects industry sales to rise in 2010, even as Toyota’s massive recall disrupts sales of the Japanese automaker’s cars in the first quarter.

“The worst is over,” Chief Executive Mike Jackson said in an interview with The Associated Press. “We have a firm bottom and the recovery is under way.”

Viacom cautious, though profitable LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cost-cutting at Paramount Pictures boosted profits at media giant Viacom Inc., but advertisers remained cautious about spending money during the holiday quarter.

Ad revenue fell 3 percent overall in the three months to December on Viacom cable channels such as Nickelodeon, BET and Comedy Central. That reflected ongoing economic uncertainty that kept companies hesitant about how much to spend to entice customers.

Oil prices rise on demand forecast NEW YORK (AP) — Crude prices continued to rise this week as a European energy watchdog said global oil demand will grow this year, more than previously expected.

Benchmark crude for March delivery on Thursday added 69 cents at $75.21 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

In London, Brent crude increased 62 cents to $73.16 a barrel on the ICE futures exchange.

Jobless numbers raise hopes WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of newly laid-off workers seeking unemployment benefits fell more than expected last week to the lowest total in a month, a sign the job market may be improving.

The Labor Department said that first-time claims for unemployment insurance dropped by 43,000 to a seasonally adjusted 440,000. Wall Street economists expected a smaller decline of 15,000, according to a survey by Thomson Reuters.

The jobless claims re-

port was the first of the year that wasn’t affected by a holiday backlog. The easing of the backlog had elevated the numbers for the previous three weeks.

The latest figures likely provide a clearer picture of the job market.

And they raise some hopes for the economic rebound.

“The recovery is slowly taking root,” Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial, wrote in a research note.

Still, she added, “Any gains we see are likely to remain muted given the

depth of the losses we endured, especially when it comes to jobs.”

And the jobs outlook is about to get muddy again.

The unemployment claims numbers for this week that will be reported next week will likely be affected by the closing of businesses and government offices due to the snowstorms in the MidAtlantic region.

This week is also the period when the government gathers information for the February report on the unemployment rate and employer pay-

rolls. The severe weather may distort those figures, too, economists said. That could make it hard to get an accurate picture of the job market for several weeks.

The snowstorms could cost the economy more than 100,000 jobs in February, according to Carl Riccadonna, senior U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank. Construction companies and retailers may hire fewer people. And government hiring for the 2010 Census could also be delayed, he said.

The weather will likely

Home prices show stability

PepsiCo sees profit rise NEW YORK (AP) — PepsiCo Inc.’s fourth-quarter profit almost doubled on strength in its snacks business and overseas beverage operations, while U.S. beverages continued to slump.

The drink maker said Thursday it will continue to launch new snack products as well as speed growth in developing markets, which it expects to boost revenue and profit.

The company has been expanding its international units and food products division to buffer the decline in U.S. drink sales.

That’s also what rival Coca-Cola Co. is doing.

Domestic soft drink sales have been falling as people shift toward healthier juices and teas or cut back on purchases to save money.

But Coca-Cola has an advantage because more than three-quarters of its sales are outside the U.S. PepsiCo’s international sales are about half its revenue.

Weak dollar boosts Philip Morris RICHMOND, Virginia (AP) — Cigarette maker Philip Morris International said Thursday higher selling prices and the weaker dollar helped its fourth-quarter profit rise 5 percent.

The world’s secondbiggest cigarette maker also announced a new three-year, $12 billion share buyback program that will begin in May. Shares rose $1.51, or 3.2 percent to $48.32 during morning trading.

The seller of Marlboro, Parliament and Virginia Slims overseas said quarterly profit rose to $1.5 billion, or 80 cents per share, from $1.45

disrupt other economic indicators, in addition to employment data. These include retail sales, industrial production, housing starts and construction spending.

“It’s going to throw a monkey wrench into the whole forecasting process,” Riccadonna said.

Economists may have to wait until March figures are reported in April to get a truer picture of the economy.

Still, severe weather events don’t generally knock the economy off track, Riccadonna said.

billion, or 71 cents per share last year. Results topped the 78 cents per share analysts were expecting.

Revenue spiked 10 percent to $6.72 billion. Analysts expected revenue of $6.49 billion.

European Union revenue rose 11 percent to $2.37 billion. Excluding the benefit of the weaker dollar, sales rose 4 percent.

Companies that sell goods internationally convert revenue from foreign currencies into dollars when they report their financial results. If the dollar weakens relative to those currencies,

revenue in those currencies translates into more dollars.

The effect is particularly strong for Philip Morris International, because all of its business is overseas.

Sales in Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa rose 4 percent to $1.87 billion. In Asia, sales rose nearly 17 percent to $1.71 billion.

The company’s cigarette shipments edged up less than 1 percent to about 218.2 billion cigarettes with increases in Eastern Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia offsetting declines in Europe, Latin America

and Canada.

“Our judicious pricing actions, widespread market share growth and productivity initiatives largely offset the significant market contractions and consumer down-trading that we witnessed in those countries that suffered the most from the global economic downturn,” CEO Louis C. Camilleri said in a statement.

For the year, profit fell 8 percent to $6.34 billion, or $3.24 per share, from $6.89 billion, or $3.31 per share last year.

Revenue fell 3 percent to $25 billion from $25.71 billion last year.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Home prices rose in more than 40 percent of U.S. cities in the fourth quarter of last year, as massive federal spending helped the housing market show signs of stability.

The National Association of Realtors said Thursday that the median sales price for previously occupied homes rose in 67 out of 151 metropolitan areas in the October-December quarter versus a year ago. That’s a sharp improvement from the third quarter, when prices rose in only 20 percent of cities.

The national median price was $172,900, or 4.1 percent below the fourth quarter last year.

That was the smallest year-over-year price decline in more than two years.

Chrysler offers guarantees AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — Chrysler Group LLC is offering a 60-day money-back guarantee on its minivans to attract customers who may be turned off by its financial troubles.

The Auburn Hills, Mich., automaker says buyers can get the guarantee by trading any vehicle made by another automaker for a Dodge Grand Caravan or Chrysler Town & Country minivan.

The offer runs through March 31.

WellPoint blames big hike on demographics INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Health insurer WellPoint blames a shift in demographics and rising medical costs for its planned 39 percent rate hike for some California customers.

In a memo obtained by The Associated Press, WellPoint Inc. tells Health and Human Services Secretary

Kathleen Sebelius that because of the weak economy, healthy people are dropping coverage or buying cheaper plans. The decline in premium revenue means there’s less money to cover claims from sicker customers who are keeping their coverage. That resulted in a 2009 loss for the unit. The

insurer says its 2010 rates aim to cover the shortfall expected from the continuation of that trend.

The letter to Sebelius said insurance costs also continue to rise because medical prices are increasing faster than inflation, and people are using more health care.

Stocks climb after EU pledge NEW YORK (AP) — Relief about Europe’s pledge to support Greece sent the stock market charging higher Thursday.

The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 106 points as confidence grew that aid to Greece would extinguish one of the several threats that investors see to an economic recovery.

The market’s advance was broad-based, but energy and materials stocks logged some of the biggest gains after oil prices rose for a fourth day and a tame report on inflation in China suggested the country wouldn’t have to move more aggressively to slow its economy.

China’s rapid economic expansion has been driving up demand for natural resources, and the benign signal on inflation there sent shares of materials companies higher. Oil and gas company Pioneer Natural Resources Co. and metals producer FreeportMcMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. each rose more than 4 percent.

Encouraging news about jobs in the U.S. also supported the market.

The Labor Department said first-time claims for jobless benefits fell more than expected last week.

Economists say a lasting economic recovery can’t take hold without big gains in jobs.

Analysts warned that

a patch to Greece’s finances won’t necessarily be enough to restart a 10-month rally in stocks that stalled last month.

Questions are still looming over the market about how the U.S. economy will fare after the government starts to unwind the supports it used to help the financial system over the past two years.

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke on Wednesday outlined plans to begin to wean the economy from government aid. The market initially took the news poorly but then recovered later in the day as many analysts viewed the plans as a logical next step for policymakers.

Copies of Activision Blizzard Inc.’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 are seen on display at Best Buy in Mountain View, Calif., Monday.

Activision shows skewed results LOS ANGELES — Activision Blizzard Inc. said Wednesday that its fourth-quarter loss widened to $286 million, despite strong revenue from its blockbuster “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2” title along with sales of games that also have an online presence.

The Santa Monica, Calif., video game publisher lost 23 cents a share for the quarter, compared with a loss of $72 million, or 5 cents a share, for the previous year’s final three months. Rev-

enue fell slightly to $1.56 billion from $1.64 billion, even though sales of its “Guitar Hero” titles fell 35 percent.

The results included deferred revenue of $938 million from the sale of games that included an online component. Activision and other major game publishers book revenue from such games over several months, even though they receive the full amount at the time of sale.

If those sales were recognized in full, Activision’s quarterly sales would have been $2.5 billion, up 6.8 per-

cent from a year earlier. Net income would have grown 47 percent to $632 million. Much of that growth came from “Modern Warfare 2,” which garnered sales of $550 million in the first five days after it was released on Nov. 10.

For this year, Activision forecast $4.2 billion in sales, down from $4.3 billion last year, but expects much higher earnings of 47 cents a share, up from 9 cents.

Activision executives said they expected that continued weakness this year in music titles and games for more ca-

sual players would be offset by new offerings from its Blizzard Entertainment studio, including “World of Warcraft: Cataclysm” and “Starcraft II.” “These are expected to be very high-margin titles,” said analyst Colin Sebastian at Lazard Capital Markets.

The company also said it plans to buy back $1 billion worth of its stock this year.

Its shares rose 5 cents at $10.10 in regular trading before it reported its results. Shares gained as much as 55 cents in afterhours trading.

Dodd sees hope Shareholders OK Burlington sale for bank bill WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats are trying a new route to break through an impasse on writing banking rules to prevent another financial meltdown.

Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd said Thursday he has recruited Republican Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee to help draft a bill that can win the GOP support needed to get it through the Senate.

Because of Corker’s willingness to negotiate, Dodd said he is “more optimistic than I have been in several weeks that we can develop a consensus bill.”

Less than a week ago, Dodd said talks with the committee’s top Republican, Sen. Richard

Shelby, had reached an impasse.

The Senate Banking committee has been working for months to try to fashion legislation responding to the 2008 financial crisis, one of President Barack Obama’s priorities. The bill would include new regulations to limit risk-taking by financial institutions and create more transparency in the global derivatives markets. It would set up a system to safely take down failing financial giants without burdening taxpayers. And it would create new protections for consumers.

The Democratic-controlled House passed its version of the legislation in December on a partyline vote.

NEW YORK (AP) — Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. said Thursday shareholders have approved the railroad’s sale to Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway.

The shareholder vote is the last major step before the $26.3 billion purchase of the nation’s secondlargest railroad.

When the deal officially closes on Friday, it will be Berkshire’s largest-ever acquisition.

Burlington Northern CEO Matt Rose said 70 percent of shares cast approved the deal. The acquisition needed twothirds approval to pass.

“Tomorrow begins the first century of ownership of BNSF by Berkshire Hathaway,” Buffett said in a statement. “I’m looking

forward to every day of it as our railroad does its part to ensure the future prosperity of the country.”

Berkshire Hathaway, based in Omaha, Neb., agreed last fall to pay $100 per share in cash and stock for the 77.4 percent of BNSF shares that it didn’t already own.

When he announced the deal, Buffett called it an “all-in wager” on the U.S. economy, since freight railroads carry so many items that consumers use everyday.

Everything from toys and cars to lumber for homes and coal for electricity rolls on the rails. Burlington Northern, based in Fort Worth, Texas, ships enough coal to power one of every 10 homes in the U.S.

California winegrape harvest jumped 23 percent in 2009 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Analysts say wine drinkers will continue to see high quality bottles at low prices following a 23 percent spike in California’s winegrape harvest last year.

The state produced a little more than 3.69 million tons of wine grapes in 2009, up from 3.02 tons in 2008, according to the California Department of

Food and Agriculture’s preliminary grape crush report released Wednesday. That’s just shy of the 2005 bumper crop of 3.76 million tons.

“It’s a boom for consumers, it’s a boom for wineries producing bottles under $15 and it’s a boom for growers,” said Brian Clements, senior partner with Novato-based Turrentine Brokerage.

D.C. mayor criticized over snow removal WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The mayor of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital and other politicians are feeling the heat for not moving faster to clear the streets of snow after the historic backto-back blizzards that slammed the East Coast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m miserable. We still canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get out,â&#x20AC;? said Carolyn Ward, who serves on a neighborhood commission in Washington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they had a plan, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a good one.â&#x20AC;?

At one point, 25 percent of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s snowplows were out of commission, having broken down on the hard snow, officials said.
