HIGH POINT – A crime-fighting strategy that has been used to combat open-air drug markets and violence in cities across the country after it was pioneered by the High Point Police Department will be the subject of a documentary film. Uri Schneider, a freelance journalist and filmmaker based in Israel, recently spent several days in High Point collecting footage about the latest area of the city targeted for the Overt Drug Mar-

HIGH POINT – The City Council today will consider a rezoning case involving a planned expansion of High Point University’s campus. HPU wants the council to rezone two blocks bounded by Montlieu
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 4:45 p.m. at City Hall. Avenue, North Avenue, Fifth Street and Willoubar Terrace to allow for the establishment of a Greek Village comprised of fraternity and sorority houses. HPU’s plans call for 14 buildings at a size of about 3,000 square feet each on the 9.76-acre site. The buildings will be designed to house 13 students each and will be oriented toward the center of the site, which borders the campus’ western edge. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning and
(the initiative) works very well,” Schneider said. “It’s limited, of course, but they never claim to solve every problem in society. ... I talked to many people on Washington Drive – good guys and bad guys – who were telling me that decades ago Washington Drive was a wonderful place. The street itself was a thriving community with businesses and shops and theaters, and they told me it would be wonderful to see that return.” He said the initiative model –

Uri Schneider generally covers the Middle East conflict for Tel Aviv Productions in Israel. He expects his upcoming film about the High Point Initiative to be shown on Arte, a TV network in France and Germany, at some point in the coming weeks. The initiative has been featured in numerous media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal, CBS News and The Economist magazine since it was launched in 2004. Washington Drive is the fifth part of High Point where the initiative has been applied. The initiative is credited with dropping violence and drug crime in the West End, Daniel Brooks Homes, Southside and E. Green Drive neighborhoods.
THOMASVILLE – Thomasville City Council members on Saturday focused on improving its downtown during its annual retreat at the Ballpark Road Community Center. Among issues discussed during the retreat were the creation of a downtown merchant organization, a special tax district for the downtown historic district, extra lighting for downtown parking lots and the development of a longrange corridor plan to “spruce up” downtown streets. Councilman Scott Styers said the creation of a special tax district would allow the city to legally assist private business owners in Thomasville, even if it doesn’t apply a tax. Styers believes the “eco-

a major amendment to a conditional-use permit to address compatibility with neighboring residential areas and issues raised by the University Area Plan. The commission also unanimously recommended approving a request for changes in a land-use plan from Westchester Christian Center, part of Providence Place. The council will consider the same matter today. The original zoning approval for the center in 1998 allowed for seven adult-care buildings with 10 units per building to be constructed on its property. Providence Place requested that the plan combine these seven buildings into one adultcare building that will be located along the eastern boundary of the property, about 500 feet north of Whittier Avenue. The council is scheduled to consider both matters during the public hearings portion of its regular meeting. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 4:45 p.m., with public hearings scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall, 211 S. Hamilton St. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Crime-fighting initiative to be subject of documentary ket Intervention Strategy, or High Point Initiative. Schneider said he read about the strategy in the New Yorker magazine and initially wanted to make his film in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia or Memphis, where police are implementing versions of the High Point model. Instead, he focused on High Point, collecting 15 tapes worth of video, including Tuesday’s call-in, where eight suspects from the Washington Drive area were confronted by police and other authorities. “I have an understanding that

nomic health” of the city’s downtown is a contributing factor to the success of the rest of the city. “People get so hung up on the tax word,” Styers said. “Lets call it a special-use district. What would be the benefit of it is that it would define a commercial area of Thomasville that the city has a vested interested in to try to have economic improvement (downtown) that would hopefully help drive economic improvement throughout the entire city. The downtown is the hub of commerce even though there are shopping centers located outside.” City Manager Kelly Craver presented figures of how much revenue the city would get if it created a special tax district. All of the property values in the Downtown Historic District total $6,229,790, according to Craver. With a 1 cent
tax increase for the downtown historic district, Craver said the city would receive an additional $622.98. City Council members also discussed the creation of a downtown merchants organization similar to Uptown Lexington, which helps promote Lexington’s downtown. Councilman David Yemm said he has planned a 6 p.m. Feb. 25 meeting at the Thomasville City Council Chambers for business owners to discuss the possibility of creating a downtown merchants organization. Styers said forming a “specialuse district” would allow the Thomasville City Council to allocate funds to a downtown merchants organization. Styers said the state legislature would have to approve the special tax district for Thomasville’s downtown.
YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.
“If you create that special-use district, it legally allows you to do some things in that area that you now can’t do without doing it for every business in Thomasville,” Styers said. “Our focus in what we are hearing our citizens say is that we need to get that downtown revitalized because it’s going to drive that economic engine for the downtown.” Yemm and Styers suggested that People Achieving Community Enhancement, the city’s Beautification Committee, the Thomasville Area Chamber of Commerce and the City Council should come together for a community meeting to come up with a long-range “corridor plan” to spruce up Salem Street, Randolph Street, Lexington Avenue and National Highway. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

We can’t afford Obama, Democrat spending plan Medicare is in trouble. Social Security is in trouble. Yet we have a president and Congress that are hellbent on passing another entitlement that we can’t pay for. We will still have people that are uninsured. Mayo Clinic just announced that they will no longer take Medicare patients ($800 million in debt). How many hospitals will follow suit? Why can’t we fix what’s broken first? Congress won’t consider tort reform or insurance across state lines. (Too many lawyers in Congress!) Why don’t we ask the people that provide our health care to help work on a solution? When our debt doubles in five years and triples in 10 years, and the interest on our debt will be 85 percent of our tax dollar, there will be no Social Security or Medicare. Forty cents of every dollar of our 2010 budget is borrowed money. Barack Obama says, “Our spending cannot be sustained,” yet just about every day he comes up with another spending program. Is he one of the 27 percent that thinks the government has its own money? If you think our economy is on the mend, don’t be deceived. If Obama and Congress don’t change their game plan, we will all suffer. Congress thinks liberalism will fix problems even though liberalism is what caused the problem in the first place. Thomas Jefferson said, “A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.” ELAINE DAVIS High Point
The insurance industry-run system has failed us I just had a conversation with a friend of mine who is recovering from a heart attack. He is selfemployed and has no insurance because the premiums were so high. He has been saving substantial amounts to pay for care if he needed it. He has depleted his savings and taken out a second mortgage on his house to pay his hospital and doctor bills. Now, he is facing a loss of his business in the next few months. This is a hardworking, highly competent professional who is facing losing his home, which is

almost paid for and going into bankruptcy because the insurance industry has failed him and most of the rest of the country. I am ashamed of the congressmen and senators who have sold out to the insurance industry and are blocking many people like my friend from access to help when they need it. I hope some of them will have the courage to do the right thing and vote yes for President Obama’s health care reform. KEN KNIGHT Greensboro
A county sheriff needs honesty and integrity As a resident of Davidson County, a former student of criminal justice and the proud sister of a law enforcement officer, I know the most important components of a law enforcement officer are honesty and integrity. There are law enforcement officers who are on our streets day and night putting their lives on the line; these officers take that creed seriously. It is a very important job. To be a sheriff it is important to have integrity and honesty to be able to lead in such an important position. I don’t understand how a sheriff that was convicted of felonies that went against that creed can run for sheriff. I don’t believe in double standards. If a regular person wanted a job in law enforcement, they would have a criminal background check, and if a felony
showed up they would not get the job. Why should it be any different as sheriff? Sheriff David Grice is a behind-the-scenes sheriff. He doesn’t bask in the glory. Some people think he doesn’t do his job because you will not see Sheriff Grice on TV unless he needs to be. Sheriff Grice does do his job, though not the commando way we all got used to under Hege’s reign. I know Sheriff Grice; he was my instructor at Davidson County Community College, but that is not why I am writing. I am writing in support of every law enforcement officer that goes to work and takes his job seriously. The officers who would never go against the officers’ creed. The ones who put the badge on every day not knowing if they will come home. Is it fair to them when we vote someone into office as sheriff who broke the laws they are sworn to uphold? SHERRY BROWN High Point
Security retirement, no salary increases while the rest of us continue to pay for those increases with higher taxes. She is one who believes that uncontrolled government spending is not the answer to paying off our national debt. She, like many others, was not as active as she could have been in the past, but times like these would wake-up even Rip Van Winkle! We say we want change, but we continue to elect the same people while expecting results to be different. She knows that the bigger government grows, the less money the private sector has … along with their freedoms! As far as government programs go, she believes it would be better to “teach a person to fish” rather than to become a ward of the state. Same old politics, divide and confuse. Congress is in gridlock. In our opinion, the more career politicians that are voted out, the louder the people’s voice will be heard. Visit us at www.votehinson.com. BRYANT HINSON High Point

Do the country a favor and run for president D
ear Sarah Palin: I hear you’re pondering a run for the White House in 2012. Last week, you told Fox news it would be “absurd” to rule it out. I’m writing to ask that you rule it in. I very badly want you to run for – and “win” – the Republican nomination for the presidency. I know you’re waiting for the punch line. Maybe you figure I think you’d be a weak candidate who would pave the way for President Obama’s easy re-election. That’s not it. No, I want you to run because I believe a Palin candidacy would force upon this country a desperately needed moment of truth. It would require us to finally decide what kind of America we want to be. Mrs. Palin, you are an avatar of the shameless hypocrisy and cognitive disconnection that have driven our politics for the last decade, a process of stupidification creeping like kudzu over our national life. As Exhibit A, consider your recent speech at a so-called “Tea Party” event, wherein you dismissed the president as a “charismatic guy with a teleprompter.” Bad enough you imply that

compassion and common sense. So no, this is not a clash of ideologies, but a clash between intelligence and its opposite. And I am tired of being asked to pretend stupid is a virtue. That’s why I’d welcome the moment of truth your campaign would bring. It would force us to decide once and for all whether we are permanently committed to the path of ignorance, of birthers, truthers and Tea Party incoherence you represent, or whether we will at last turn back from the cliff toward which we race. If the latter, wonderful, God bless America. If the former, well, some of us can finally quit hoping the nation will return to its senses and plan accordingly. Either way, we need to know, and your candidacy would tell us. If you love this country, Mrs. Palin, you can do it no greater service. Run, Sarah, run.

Tonga hit by cyclone but no injuries so far NUKU’ALOFA, Tonga – Northern and central Tonga were being slammed by Cyclone Rene today, with powerful winds ripping off roofs, tearing down trees and power lines and cutting communications with the capital in the south of the country, officials said. “We don’t know the extent of the damage right now, though there are no reports of serious damage or injuries,� the South Pacific nation’s National Disaster Office deputy director, Mali’u Takai, said.
Only 1 in 5 blacklisted Iraqi candidates to run BAGHDAD – Only one in five candidates accused of being loyalists to Saddam Hussein’s regime successfully fought an order banning them from running in Iraq’s national elections next month, officials said Sunday. The Shiite official in charge of the vetting panel that is widely seen as targeting Sunnis also called on parliament to declare the alreadyoutlawed Baath party a terrorist organization.
Pro-Russia Yanukovych named Ukraine winner KIEV, Ukraine – Election officials named Russia-friendly Viktor Yanukovych as the official winner of Ukraine’s presidential election Sunday, thwarting Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko’s hopes of overturning the vote. Tymoshenko’s last recourse is now with the courts, after the Central Election Commission also dismissed her complaints of fraud and misconduct during the Feb. 7 ballot. Yanukovych won the contest by just 3.5 percentage points – or some 888,000 of the nearly 25.5 million ballots cast.

A U.S. soldier returns fire as others run for cover during a firefight with insurgents in the Badula Qulp area, west of Lashkar Gah in Helmand province, southern Afghanistan, Sunday.
US rockets hit Afghan home; 12 killed MARJAH, Afghanistan (AP) – Two U.S. rockets slammed into a home Sunday outside the southern Taliban stronghold of Marjah, killing 12 civilians after Afghanistan’s president appealed to NATO to take care in its campaign to seize the town. Inside Marjah, Marines encountered “death at every corner� in their second day of a massive offensive to capture this bleak mudbrick city filled with booby traps,
hardcore Taliban fighters and civilians unsure where to cast their loyalty. Marines confronted a fierce sandstorm as they ducked in and out of doorways and hid behind bullet-riddled walls to evade sniper fire. To the north, U.S. Army troops fought skirmishes with Taliban fighters, calling in a Cobra attack helicopter against the insurgents. Insurgents littered the area with booby traps and explosives before
the offensive, and the sound of controlled detonations – about three every hour – punctuated the day along with mortars and rocket fire. “Our children are very scared by the explosions. When will it end?� asked Zaher, a 25-year-old poppy farmer who like many Afghans goes by one name. The civilian deaths were a blow to NATO and Afghan efforts to win the support of residents in the Marjah area.
DOHA, Qatar (AP) – U.S. officials sought to shore up support Sunday for a tougher stand against Iran’s nuclear program by saying Tehran had left the world little choice and expressing renewed confidence that holdout China would come around to harsher U.N. Clinton penalties. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, on a quick visit to Persian Gulf allies Qatar and Saudi Arabia, told a forum on U.S.-Muslim relations that Iran has not lived up to its nuclear obligations. While diplomatic patience has its limits, “we’re not there yet,� U.S. Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in Tel Aviv. While Iran insists it has no desire to get the bomb, Clinton said it appears otherwise.
Lebanese troops open fire $O YOU HAVE TYPE 2 DIABETES AND TAKE -ETFORMIN on Israeli warplanes BEIRUT (AP) – Lebanese troops opened fire Sunday on four Israeli warplanes that flew into Lebanese airspace, the army said. Israeli warplanes frequently fly over Lebanese territory in what Israel says are reconnaissance missions. The overflights have been a constant source of friction between the two countries. Sunday’s incident comes amid
heightened tensions in the Middle East following some of the sharpest exchanges in years between Israel and its Arab neighbors. Last week, Syria’s foreign minister accused Israel of “spreading an atmosphere of war� in the region after Israel’s Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned that the stalled peace process with Syria could result in an all-out regional war.

JERUSALEM – An Israeli man who kept a cult-like harem of women and fathered dozens of children with them was charged in a Tel Aviv court Sunday with enslavement, rape, incest and other sexual offenses. The 25-page indictment accused 60-year-old Goel Ratzon of setting himself up as a “godlike� figure who preyed on troubled women while treating them like “chattel.� The case has captivated the Israeli public since Ratzon’s arrest last month.

White House struggled with how to bring suspected terrorists to justice. Highly partisan public skirmishes between the Obama White House and Cheney have become standard fare. And the back-and-forth that was set up in Sunday’s sequential appearances of television talk shows did not disappoint. Biden struck first, declaring Cheney’s attacks on Obama’s commitment to fighting terrorism ignored the facts. “We’ve eliminated 12 of their top 20 people. We have taken out 100 of their associates,” said Biden.

City offers class on new lead laws BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – The city plans to launch an educational effort for those who work in the housing industry on sweeping new regulations regarding lead-based paint that will take effect later this year. The Environmental Protection Agency’s lead-based paint renovation, repair and painting rule (the RR&P rule) becomes law April 22 and will require EPA certification for those who work in homes that contain lead-based paint or that were built before 1978. The city, in partnership with High Point University, will sponsor a free EPA certification class March 22-26, with the goal of training and certifying 100 people in a one-week period. The sessions will be funded by a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant and will be designed to accommodate 20 people per day. According to the city, the EPA law, which will be enforced in North Carolina by the Department of Health and Human Services Health Hazards Control unit, requires renovations performed for pay on any pre-1978 structure must be done by EPA-certified firms using certified renovators. To qualify as an EPAcertified firm, contractors as well as landlords and property managers are required to attend an 8-hour class and apply to the state for a license which requires a $300 fee. The law will apply to housing as well as any “child-occupied facility” where children younger than 6 years

Rotary club hosts annual auction BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – Members of Furnitureland Rotary hope to live up to their club’s name – and even better it – with a benefit auction Thursday. The annual auction generally nets a hefty amount to support local community service groups. Last year’s auction raised approximately $20,000, said Barry Kitley, auction chairman. Furniture donated for the auction by local manufacturers and retailers traditionally makes up a large part of what is raised each year, but organizers are trying to diversity their offerings. This year’s auction still includes plenty of furniture, but it also has items for those cutting costs or people with no room in their homes for more furniture, Kitley said. The live and silent auctions offer gift baskets, tickets to events such as Carolina Panthers home games, dinners catered at homes, signed sports and NASCAR memorabilia, vacation retreats, hunting and fishing trips and even an orthodontic package. A raffle provides the chance to win cash prizes or a vehicle from Ilderton Dodge Chrysler Jeep. “They’re still going to get a wonderful deal on case goods and upholstered goods, but

Part of the auction’s success comes from friendly rivalry among the 55 club members. “There’s lots of motivation factors, in terms of who can say, ‘Hey, I’ve got this ticket,’ or, ‘Hey, I’ve got this item,’ ” Kitley said. Kitley can make one such boast about an auction package he secured: a tour of Fort Bragg led by an Iraq war veteran and dinner at the Officers’ Club for four. The package also includes tours of the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Museum, the Golden Knights Museum and the 82nd ABN DIV Museum. Another special package is a home consultation visit by Natalie Norcross and

Associates, valued at $500, that comes with a suite of furniture. “So with a suite of furniture, you get a personal home decorator to come to your house and set your room up. That’s unique to our auction,” Kitley said. All the money raised at the club’s annual auctions goes to community groups, and none fund club activities, Kitley said. Each year the club gives approximately $35,000 to local nonprofit groups. Mobile Meals is the largest recipient, and since 1983, the club has contributed more than $300,000 to the group that delivers meals to people unable to get out or prepare meals for themselves. vknopfler@hpe.com | 888-3601

Sandra McClure Spencer Honeycutt TRINITY, Texas — Sandra McClure Spencer Honeycutt passed away on February 13, 2010, at the age of 75 years. Sandra was born on November 23, 1934, in High Point, North Carolina, to the late Dorothy McClure and Charles Preston Spencer. Sandra attended High Point High School, she graduated in 1953 and where she met her husband of 52 years, George. Sandra and George moved to Houston in 1963; where they raised their three sons. Sandra retired from ITT Snyder in December of 1994. Upon retirement they moved to Riverside and then Trinity, Texas, Sandra was an active member of Riverside First United Methodist Church and a co-founder of the Lady Bugs Garden Club.

Investigations spur new reforms RALEIGH (AP) – In what looks like a repeat from the scandal that brought down then-Speaker Jim Black, the General Assembly is being compelled by another criminal investigation to work in between sessions to fashion clean-government legislation. Lawmakers passed historic lobbying and ethics legislation in 2006 as a federal probe intensified that ultimately sent Black and a former state lottery commissioner to prison. Following a year of investigations linked to former Democratic Gov. Mike Easley and his campaign, legislative leaders again feel the weight from the public and reform advocates. There have been concealed airplane flights and allegations that government officials benefited financially from coastal developments and large campaign donations
helped grease permitting. Federal and state investigations aren’t over. “It puts more pressure on somebody to do something,� said Senate Majority Leader Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe, who has assembled a working group of fellow Democrats to discuss what should be considered when the Legislature reconvenes in May. “We owe it to them to give them an honest effort.� But unlike 2006, the changes probably won’t be as sweeping. Democratic and Republican legislative leaders point out bribery, money laundering and other crimes highlighted in last month’s indictment of ex-Easley aide Ruffin Poole have been illegal for decades. Ideas that would require millions of dollars to implement or regulate will be avoided during another difficult budget year.
Lawmakers also will be wary about making significant campaign fundraising changes during an election year without knowing the effect of a U.S. Supreme Court decision freeing corporations to spend directly to support or oppose candidates. So efforts by some to expand voluntary public financing or to curb the unlimited donations state parties can take in or give may have to wait until 2011. “We have to be careful in how we react to (the ruling) and how we can channel what energy that decision may create in politics, and that is a tricky task,� said former Democratic Lt. Gov. Dennis Wicker, now a Raleigh lobbyist. Still, public servants “feel an obligation to tighten up on the flow of money that comes into political coffers to run campaigns.�

ASHEVILLE (AP) – Forecasters are calling for more snow in western North Carolina, just two days after about 3 to 5 inches fell across much of the state.

Grandma adds insult to injury from hurtful remark
Dear Outspoken Grandma: You should have apologized for your comment the minute you realized you had struck a nerve. And returning the card the way you did only added fuel to the fire. My advice is to write your daughter and son-in-law a note of apology and do it soon, because at 86, you don’t have any time to waste.
Dear Abby: I am a woman from a family of females who are all largeADVICE busted. Sad to say, I am Dear the excepAbby tion. My ■■■husband not only looks but stares when he sees a big-breasted woman. He promised me a few years ago I could get implants. He even let me consult two plastic surgeons, and then twice prevented me with excuses from having it done. I do not want this because of his actions but because I have always wanted a well-balanced body. I have been told by family members to go ahead and get the implants without his knowledge. I believe he would love the end result, but I’m not sure this is the right way to do it. What do you think? – No More Excuses in Louisiana Dear No More Excuses: I think that if you want to have breast augmentation, you should do it. But not the way your family is suggesting! Have a serious talk with your husband, so you can explain how you feel about having the surgery and he can tell you exactly what his qualms are. While he may enjoy looking at large-breasted women, he married you just the way you are, and he may be worried that something could happen during the procedure that
could cost him the love of his life. Hear him out. Dear Abby: I am an only child who has been married for almost 30 years to a wonderful man who is also an only child. We have no children. We are moving to another state where we don’t know anyone. I am worried that one day I’ll be all alone in the world with no one to turn to. (Women statistically tend to live longer than men, and my husband is seven years my senior.) What do people do when they have no one, and how do I not let this ruin our otherwise great life now? – Afraid To Be Alone

Dear Afraid: First of all, quit preoccupying yourself with thoughts of death and isolation. When you arrive at your destination, join a church or synagogue if you are religious. If you’re not, find organizations where you and your husband can volunteer time and meet people. Join social clubs if you’re moving to a sizable city. “Old age� will happen years from now, if you’re lucky. And regardless of what “statistics� say, you could go before your husband – so stop worrying and enjoy the time you have together.

ear Abby: My daughter and I haven’t spoken in more than two years because of something I said regarding her grandson, “Joey,� who is my greatgrandson. The last time I saw this boy, who lives in another state, he was 7 or 8. My daughter’s husband was expressing how proud he was of Joey, who is a star football player – a linebacker at 200 pounds and over 6 feet tall. I said, “Wow, the last time I saw him he was 7 or 8 and fat as a little pig.� My words were not wisely chosen, but an expression I have used many times. It was just a comment. They left the state in early spring without a call or a goodbye. On Mother’s Day I received a “gushy� card, which I returned with a note saying how much I would have loved the card – if I had felt it was sincere. I am 86 and hate what has happened, but I feel I am being punished for just “being me.� Should I make the first move or just let sleeping dogs lie? – Outspoken Grandma in Florida

hile driving with the family, you begin to see smoke billowing from your carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hood, and you realize your car is on fire. You have a limited amount of time to react. What should you do? The National Fire Protection Association reported that 520 people died in vehicle fires in 2004. Surprisingly, more people died in vehicle fires than in apartment fires. On average there were 30 FIREHOUSE vehicle CHAT fires per hour Lee across Knight the â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; United States in 2004. When you look at the numbers you realize vehicle fires are more common than most people think. In the event of a fire, remain calm, pull off the road and come to a complete stop. If you continue driving the car, air is forced through the hood area, which intensifies the fire. Shut off the engine and shift the transmission into park so the vehicle will not roll. Turn off the ignition to shut off the electrical current and stop the flow of gasoline. Leave the hood closed to restrict the flow of air, preventing the fire from spreading quicker. Get everyone out of the vehicle quickly and move at least 100 feet from the fire. Be cautious of passing traffic; it can be as dangerous as the burning vehicle. When everyone is safe, call 911 and wait for professionals. Vehicle fires are dangerous, so do not try extinguishing the fire. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not worth the injuries you may receive because of lack of training and protective clothing. More vehicle fires are caused by mechanical failure than collisions or roll-overs. Vehicles have other fluids in addition to gasoline that will burn, such as oil and power steering fluid. You lessen the risk of a vehicle fire by repairing any leaks. Have a mechanic check your vehicle if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not running smoothly or if it backfires. Blown fuses and burning smells could be a sign of a bigger problem. Shut off the engine and do not smoke when fueling your vehicle. There is no advantage to testing fate. Hopefully you never will experience a vehicle fire, but if you do, get away from the vehicle and call the professionals. 24/7/365: You call; we respond.

No vaccine yet for herpes
D
ear Dr. Donohue: When I was diagnosed with herpes simplex type-2, I was distressed. I wonder how close we are to having a vaccine for it, and would a vaccine cure the virus? How about the drug bavituximab? Could it be the solution? I am looking for words of encouragement to get through the diagnosis of this incurable viral disease. Do medicines such as acyclovir and Valtrex help stop recurring outbreaks? – L.
BLONDIE
Herpes simplex virus type-1 (the cause of cold sores) and herpes virus type-2 (the cause of genital infection) are lifelong infections. The virus hides out in body cells and, from time to time, wakes from sleep to cause another infectious episode. That is discouraging news. However, infection with the type-2 virus does not mean people are condemned to celibacy or that women cannot have children safely. People with herpes-2 need to inform partners that they are infected. Transmission of infection is greatest when there is an outbreak, so relations should not take place then. Transmission is possible even when there are no visible signs of infection, and that’s why it’s imperative to tell a partner. Condoms reduce the transmission risk, but do not completely eliminate it. Researchers are working on a vaccine for herpes. Whether it will be effective for eradicating

an established infection isn’t known. Bavituximab is a drug currently HEALTH undergoing trials for Dr. Paul treatment Donohue of hepatitis ■■■ C and the HIV virus. It destroys body cells that harbor the virus, so it does offer promise of curing latent infections like herpes. Herpes is one of the viruses targeted for trials with this drug. It’s also an anticancer drug. Acyclovir (Zovirax), famciclovir (Famvir) and valacyclovir (Valtrex) do prevent recurrences of herpes. People with many recurrences should avail themselves of these medicines. They also lessen the chances of transmission. They don’t, however, eliminate the sleeping virus. Dear Dr. Donohue: Please settle an argument between me and my friend. She says that once you have LASIK surgery, you can never have surgery for cataracts. If this is so, the young people who are having it are in for big trouble in their senior years. Is this true? Doctors should warn people if it is. – G.P . It’s not true. People who have LASIK surgery – the surgery that reshapes the cornea so that people can get rid of their glasses and contact lenses – can have cataract
surgery if they ever come to need it. Dear Dr. Donohue: My letter is about amendments to the Patients’ Bill of Rights and the frequent disregard doctors have toward their patients. If a patient is five minutes late, the receptionist is on the phone asking where that patient is. When the patient arrives, that person is subjected to a reminder that he or she is late. Sometimes there is, “You may wait if you wish to see if the doctor can fit you in.” I believe that the Patients’ Bill of Rights should include a statement that if the doctor is more than an hour behind, the patient has a right to reschedule with no fee. I also believe that the doctor should be required to explain the name, reason for and the outcome of any test ordered, and that the patient be given a copy of the results. I maintain that the major problems with health care today are inefficiencies, fraud, fear of litigation and overwork. – E.D. I don’t disagree with you. I hope all of what you say is carefully considered and that appropriate changes are made. I can say in defense of doctors, however, that emergencies occur more often than people realize, and those emergencies throw the best-regulated offices into disarray. Waiting patients should be told about them and be given the option to rebook.

Brutal chapter comes to life SPECIAL | HPE
Actor Mike Wiley, a North Carolinian, will perform a one-man play Sunday in High Point about the 1970 murder of Henry D. Marrow Jr. in Oxford, N.C.
Local church hosts play about murder, trial and the racially charged reactions that followed BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – One of the uglier chapters in North Carolina’s civil rights history will take center stage Sunday at a High Point church. Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church will present “Blood Done Sign My Name,” a powerful, emotionally charged theater production that tells the story of a racially motivated 1970 murder of a black man in Oxford, N.C. “We have come a long way from the social ills of segregation and Williams discrimination, but it is important to remember our history and that more progress needs to be made,” says Bob Rule, chairman of the church’s Cultural Awareness Team, which booked the production. “This powerful performance will not be pretty, but it will be a graphic reminder of the stain on our national heritage. It is our hope that this program will help to exorcise some of the demons of our national past and encourage us to work together to build a better and more equitable

“Blood Done Sign My Name” will be presented at 3 p.m. Sunday in the sanctuary of Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church, 1225 Chestnut Drive. The production will star Mike Wiley in a one-man show, featuring music by gospel artist Mary D. Williams. Tim future for all our citizens.” “Blood Done Sign My Name,” based on the 2004 memoir by Duke University professor Tim Tyson, is also being released this week as a movie starring Michael Rooker and Rick Schroder. The production being presented in High Point will star North Carolina actor Mike Wiley in a one-man performance – featuring music by gospel artist Mary D. Williams – and Tyson will be on hand for a question-and-answer session about his award-winning book. The story recounts the 1970 killing of Henry “Dickie” Marrow, a black, 23-year-old Vietnam veteran who was a husband and father of two, and whose wife was pregnant with their third child. Three white men brutally beat Marrow and

Despite the eyewitness reports, though, the three men were acquitted by an allwhite jury, which sparked an uprising within Oxford’s black community. “The play is about how this town reacted to the murder of this man and the incidents immediately after his killing,” says Wiley, a veteran actor who adapted Tyson’s book for his one-man show. Wiley portrays all of the characters but tells the story through the eyes of Tyson, who was a 10-year-old boy living in Oxford at the time of the killing. “I use Tim as the main character and narrator,” Wiley explains. “What Tim did to

write the book was interview many of the individuals in that town, so I felt that was an entry point in the play, to have Tim drift in and out of time, telling the story to the audience while relating the information he received in interviews. I portray those characters he interviewed.” Mary D. Williams, meanwhile, punctuates the storytelling by singing a number of spirituals that help set the mood of the story. “Mary is the caliber of Mahalia Jackson – she’s that good,” Wiley says. “The songs she sings are freedom songs from that time period, that were moving and motivating spirituals for the civil rights movement. Her songs in essence comment on what is happening in the play or society at that time.” Wiley says the play has healing capacity, which is what the Cultural Awareness Team at Wesley Memorial hopes to accomplish by presenting the play. “We are pleased to be able to bring this outstanding program to our community,” Rule says. “Our team is dedicated to working through our church to help in the ongoing process of racial healing.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579
For the second consecutive year the physicians and staff at Digestive Health Specialists are going to donate their time and facilities to perform 50 free screening colonoscopies for people who have lost their jobs and health insurance in the past year and who have not been screened previously. The physicians are offering the service to 50-yearolds as that is the American Cancer Society’s (ACS) recommendations for initial screening age. The free colonoscopies will be offered to qualified applicants through March 31 and will be performed in the Thomasville, Winston-Salem, Kernersville and Advance offices. Applications for consideration can be found at www. digestivehealth. ws or can be obtained by calling the main office at (336) 768-6211. “Many of the patients last year were so appreciative of the service we provided,” said Dr. William Bray, medical director of Digestive Health Specialists. “Each of them had been forced to postpone a screening colonoscopy due to financial hardships.” One person was found to have colon cancer last year and is now receiving life-saving treatment. Thirty-eight percent of the patients had polyps which were removed and sent for biopsies. Over half of them had precancerous lesions which were removed, preventing the possibility of future colon cancer. “Colon cancer is truly preventable, unlike so many of the other cancers people face,” said Dr. Charles Katopes at Digestive Health Specialists. “We felt that with the continuing level of high unemployment, we again should offer free screenings, a potential life-saving procedure, to the community.”

George Burns (an avid bridge player, by the way) said only one drink could make him tipsy – but he couldn’t remember whether it was the 12th or the 13th. Only one misplay will put a contract on the floor. Today’s East played the ten on the first spade, and South sagely played low. East shifted to the queen of clubs: He knew West couldn’t have an entry to the spades. South took the king and lost the diamond finesse, and East led another club. South ducked, won the third club, ran the diamonds and led a heart from dummy. East took the ace and, at the 11th trick, his last club. Down one.
ENTRY South booted his game at Trick One. He must win the first spade and lead a heart to the king. If West had the ace, South would need to force out that entry before West’s spades were established. East would take the ace and lead another spade. South would play low, win the third spade and lose the diamond finesse. East would have no more spades, and South would be safe.
DAILY QUESTION You hold: S J 10 5 H A J 5 D K 4 2 C Q J 9 2. You are the dealer with both sides vulnerable. What is your opening call? ANSWER: Opening-bid requirements have been whittled down, and I suspect most experts would open one club. Nevertheless, the hand is barren of winners and contains three jacks, and I’d admire anyone who passed. If I were going to open a balanced 12-point hand, I’d prefer today’s South hand, which has adequate defensive values. North dealer Neither side 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.

Team owner Chip Ganassi (left) and driver Jamie McMurray celebrate after McMurray won the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway on Sunday.
McMurray cracks victory lane BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Jamie McMurray climbed from his car and slapped the ground. When he got to victory lane, he cried. He cried again in the media center when he began talking about being unable to share the moment with his father Jim because he left the track early. And it had nothing to do with enduring a long day at Daytona International Speedway. Regarded as something of an underachiever throughout his career, especially the past four years at Roush Fenway Racing, McMurray got his return to Chip Ganassi off to the best start possible and enhanced his reputation as a restrictor-plate racer by winning a Daytona 500 that was stopped twice for a total of 2 hours and 25 minutes for repair of a pothole. It
became the Daytona 520 because of eight laps of overtime caused by the need of two attempts to get a finish under the green flag. “It’s unbelievable,” said McMurray. “I told my wife this morning that it would be a dream come true. Coming off turn four and knowing I was going to win the Daytona 500 was overwhelming. In victory lane, I kept trying to compose myself and I couldn’t. To be in the position I was four months ago (when he was out of a ride with Roush) and have Chip welcome me into their organization is unbelievable.” For the second overtime restart on lap 207, McMurray lined up beside leader Kevin Harvick, who had muscled his way past Biffle and Martin Truex Jr. to the front on a restart on lap 202 and appeared to have the fastest car. McMurray denied Harvick after a wreck brought another restart
under NASCAR’s new rule of three attempts at a green-flag finish. Biffle pushed McMurray as they blew past Harvick on the backstretch on the next-to-last lap. Biffle made a run at McMurray on the frontstretch as they started the final lap. McMurray came back and opened up enough of a lead that he was able to stay ahead of a charging Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the final half lap. “When Greg pushed me to the lead I thought we checked out, I thought there were guys behind me,” McMurray said. “Greg got a huge run and he got by me. I got run down the backstretch and then I saw the 88 and I said crap, the guy has won a lot of races here. And all I could think was I hope it is my time to win the Daytona 500, not his.” McMurray’s fourth victory was his second at Daytona, the other coming here in July 2007 with Roush. He led just the last two
laps, the fewest by a 500 winner, in becoming the last of a race-record 21 leaders and completing the last of 52 lead changes. “When I got to the flag, I couldn’t tell what flag it was because I lost count because we had so many restarts,” said McMurray, who raced for Ganassi from 2002-2005. “I want to be more excited, but I can’t because it is so unbelievable.” Earnhardt was 10th on the final restart. He moved into second on the final lap by shooting between Biffle and Clint Bowyer on the final lap. Biffle said he made his final move too early. “When I made a run at him on the frontstretch, that let Earnhardt and Clint and some others back in it,” Biffle said. “I should have waited until the backstretch.” McMurray was glad he didn’t. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519
Panthers seek win on ‘Think Pink,’ TV night BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
HIGH POINT – Perhaps the bright lights of the television cameras and pink-themed evening supporting a worthy cause will help the High Point University women focus less on their recent woes on the basketball court. The Panthers play host to Radford tonight at 7 in a game of magnified importance. First and foremost, HPU simply must find a way to snap out of its four-game losing streak, which has taken the team from Big South title contender to middle of the jumbled pack.
High Point (13-11, 6-5 BSC) hasn’t played poorly the last two weeks, just inconsistently. A bad second half doomed the Panthers in a 13-point loss to Liberty. Little letdowns made the difference at Coastal Carolina (a seven-point loss) and Charleston Southern (six). Saturday night, league-leader Gardner-Webb escaped with a 74-66 decision after a huge spurt early in the second half. The Panthers could get some help against Radford – which has lost five straight and currently stands 5-16 overall and 4-6 in the league – from an enthusiastic crowd at the Millis Center.
Tonight is High Point’s annual “Pink Zone” game to benefit the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Kay Yow fund. Special activities are planned and pink Tshirts will be sold to raise money for the organization. “We’re happy to be on TV, it’s a great cause and we’re going to play for that cause,” HPU head coach Tooey Loy said. “But we’ve got to get back on track.” The game also will be the second straight televised game from campus after the Panther men were seen on the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network on Saturday. Today’s women’s contest marks the
third straight Monday night Big South game shown live on SportSouth and tape-delayed at 11 p.m. on MASN. SportSouth, a Fox Sports network, is available on Channel 67 through local TimeWarner Cable systems. The satellite providers also offer SportSouth: Channel 437 on Dish and 649 with DirecTV. The replay on MASN is only available locally on Dish (432) and DirecTV (640). Those TV networks will return to the Millis Center on March 1314 for the Big South Conference Tournament semifinal and championship games. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526
HIT AND RUN
---
W
henever the 52nd running of the Daytona 500 is thought about in the future, Jamie McMurray just might consider himself the unluckiest guy in the world. Instead of the buzz centering around McMurray’s two-lap sprint to an unexpected victory and a stirring race that produced 52 lead changes, much of the discussion will be about a pothole, the difficulty that Daytona Speedway and NASCAR workers had fixing it and the black mark that it left on the most famous event and the most famous track in stock-car racing. The Daytona 500 is touted as stock-car racing’s Super Bowl. Imagine if the real Super Bowl was delayed more than two hours while a piece of turf was replaced. Or if a section of court came apart during the Final Four and the NCAA needed two attempts to
fix it. Or there were continuing problems with the ice during the Stanley Cup finals. That’s what happened at Daytona. A piece of track 9x15 inches wide and two inches deep came out of the track in turn two just past the halfway mark. Workers needed an hour and 40 minutes to fix it after the first type of material they tried to use failed to bond, speedway president Robin Braig said, because of temperatures in the 40s. After another 40 laps were completed, a bigger hole developed at the same spot in the track that was last repaved in 1978. This time workers used bondo that held for the final 47 laps. Braig said nothing seemed wrong with the pavement Sunday morning. He also said engineers will determine if the hole was caused by a combination of freezing temperatures and overwhelming rainfall in recent days or if it was gouged out by parts of
cars digging into the surface. He doesn’t know if there will be a rush to repave the track. He also said the track’s hospitality services division will be in contact with ticket holders if they were upset with the delays. A significant number apparently were, judging by the stream of bodies heading for the exits during the second delay. If the six-hour length was too much for some at the track, that would indicate it may have been for some watching on television, not exactly what NASCAR wants in times of declining ratings. Daytona and NASCAR officials tried to spin the embarrassment in the best way possible. It would be hard not to imagine they are viewed today by the general public as bumbling, illprepared caretakers of the sport.
YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.
– GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
Nate Robinson is the NBA’s first three-time slam dunk champion, and that’s enough for him. The 5-foot-9 New York Knicks guard says he’s done with the marquee event of Saturday night’s All-Star festivities. “No, no, no, no, no. I don’t think I can bear that anymore,” he said. “This is the last one.” Robinson barely won another title, garnering 51 percent of the fan vote to hold off Toronto rookie DeMar DeRozan in a largely forgettable dunk contest. Robinson won the dunk title as a rookie in 2006, then beat Dwight Howard to win again last year. Boston’s Paul Pierce won the 3Point Shootout.

Williams wins USBC Masters
RENO, Nev. (AP) — Walter Ray Williams Jr. won his second U.S. Bowling Congress Masters title Sunday for his record 47 PBA Tour victory, beating top-seeded Chris Barnes 290-217 at the National Bowling Stadium. “This is just another little feather. It’s just awesome,” said Williams, who also beat Barnes in the 2004 USBC Masters final. “It’s hard to explain it better than that. To win any tournament is awesome, and the bigger ones are even better.” The victory also was Williams’ eighth career major title, tying him with Pete Weber and Mike Aulby for second place on the career list, two behind Earl Anthony. In the first game of the stepladder final, Ryan Ciminelli beat Mike Scroggins 246-229. Williams then beat Ciminelli 258-224 to advance to the championship game.

U.S. boat wins back America’s Cup
VALENCIA, Spain (AP) — Still bundled against the cold in his white foul-weather gear, software tycoon Larry Ellison hoisted the America’s Cup high in the air, then planted a kiss on the oldest trophy in international sports. “Valencia — muchas gracias!” the selfmade billionaire screamed, following the ride of his life across the Mediterranean on one of the most remarkable boats ever built. The America’s Cup is back in American hands. It was swept away from Europe by Ellison’s space-age trimaran, which has a gigantic wing for a sail and easily sped ahead of two-time defending champion Alinghi of Switzerland to complete a two-race sweep in the 33rd America’s Cup on Sunday. The Auld Mug, as the ornate silver jug is also known, now belongs to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Yacht Club.

Petty discusses wife Lynda’s lymphoma A
s big as the Daytona 500 is, its overall importance in the grand scheme of things was put in perspective Sunday morning when Richard Petty gave an update on his wife Lynda, who has been undergoing treatment for central nervous system lymphoma at Duke University hospital. Seven-time Daytona 500 winner Petty, who drove the pace car at the start Sunday, was upbeat about his wife’s circumstances. “It is a very rare form of cancer and it is very aggressive,” Petty said. “But, it is very treatable.” Petty said his wife is under the care of Dr. Henry Friedman, deputy director of the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center. “She’s had a couple of treatments and she’s gotten through them really good,” SPORTS Petty said. “I went in (Saturday) morning and she was jumping around and Greer said, ‘Get out of here and get to DaySmith tona.’ So I knew she was feeling pretty ■■■ good. ”Everything is going good and they feel they can wipe the cancer out. Naturally, it’s going to take some time to do that.” Petty said the cancer was detected after his wife said she was having vision trouble. “About this time last year, she was wandering around down here and she fell,” The King said. “I asked her what happened and she said her eyes weren’t as good as they once were. They kept chasing what was causing it and it was November or December to understand what the problem was and how to fix it.” Since his wife’s condition was diagnosed, he has spent as little time as possible with the race team that bears his name and that he co-owns with George Gillett. “Since November, I’ve spent a lot of time with Lynda Gail,” Petty said. “After over 50 years of racing, I figured I better hang around for a little while. I’ve been involved in all the major decisions concerning the team but I haven’t been able to stop and do some minor stuff. I’ve been lax on some of the sponsor appearances and public relations stuff. She’s a little bit more important than racing right now.” In the race, the No. 43 made famous by Petty had its best 500 in years as A.J. Allmendinger drove to the front and led 11 of the first 80 laps. But, the prospect of Allmendinger returning the 43 to victory lane for the first time since 1998 ended when he spun on lap 144 and couldn’t get his car going. Allmendinger lost control as he tried to race inside of Jeff Gordon. “The car just got a little tight,” Allmendinger said. “I didn’t want to get into Jeff, and I don’t know if Kyle Busch was right behind me, but I just lost it.”
WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME Kevin Harvick, who led a race-best 41 laps, wound up seventh after losing the lead on the backstretch in the next to last lap. “(Carl Edwards) doesn’t really know where he’s going,” Harvick said. “He went to the middle and kind of jammed it all up. I just wish we knew we had somebody behind us who knew how to draft. “It’s been a great day for us. We just thought we had the car to beat and I just zigged when I should have zagged.”
ANOTHER BAD START Jimmie Johnson, going after a fifth straight Cup championship, was sidelined when his rear axle snapped on lap 185. He wound up 35th, his fourth straight finish of 27th or worse in the 500 since winning in 2006. “Something broke coming through Turns 3 and 4 and I just had the one wheel driving,” Johnson said.

Johnny Spillane of the United States celebrates winning the silver medal in the Nordic Combined Individual normal hill event at the Vancouver Olympics in Whistler, British Columbia on Sunday. Spillane’s medal is the first for an American in Olympic Nordic Combined history.
Spillane, Bilodeau end droughts for U.S., Canada THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Johnny Spillane ended an 86year drought that few Americans even knew existed. Alexandre Bilodeau ended a much shorter wait that practically everyone in Canada had been agonizing over. Spillane finished second in Nordic combined, just four-tenths of a second from making the first U.S. medal come in the best color. Still, it’s a terrific accomplishment, the kind of thing that could land him on the cover of the media guide for the American Nordic combined team. Bilodeau’s feat – winning the men’s moguls – might land him on a postage stamp or a loonie, Canada’s $1 coin. The victory was significant because it was the first gold medal won by a Canadian in any event at an Olympics held in Canada. While there were only two Olympics in Canada before Vancouver, there were 244 gold medals awarded over those games. Bilodeau’s breakthrough came in the 10th event of these games.” After disappointments stretching from the Battle of Brians in 1988 to Jenn Heil coming up short in women’s moguls on Saturday night, Canadians were holding their breath when Bilodeau stood at the start line, trying to beat the score posted by Dale Begg-Smith
– a native Canadian competing for Australia. Begg-Smith took silver and American Bryon Wilson got the bronze, giving the U.S. six medals through two days of competition – the most of these Olympics and matching the team’s total from the last time the Winter Games were in Canada, in 1988.
LUGE There was finally something to cheer about at the Whistler Sliding Center. Two days after Nodar Kumaritashvili died in a training wreck, 20-year-old Felix Loch of Germany became the sport’s youngest gold medalist with a dominant performance on a track made shorter, slower and safer following the tragedy. Another German, David Moeller, was second, followed by two-time defending Olympic champion Armin Zoeggeler of Italy. American Tony Benshoof, sliding with three herniated discs in his third and final Olympics, finished eighth. He was fourth in 2006, one-fifth of a second from claiming the first medal by an American in singles luge. With another miss this time, a new set of Americans will try again in 2014 in Sochi, Russia.
were supposed to challenge for medals. Then came a heavy, wet snowfall that was tough enough to undo Norwegian great Ole Einar Bjorndalen as well. Bjorndalen, winner of a record nine biathlon medals, had the worst finish of his Olympic career – 17th. Burke, the first U.S. biathlete to lead the World Cup standings, wound up 47th. Hakkinen was 54th. The three medalists – France’s Vincent Jay, Norway’s Emil Hegle Svendsen and Croatia’s Jakov Fak – were among the first 10 starters, before the snow began to cause problems. Jeremy Teela was the top American, finishing ninth.
NORDIC COMBINED Todd Lodwick narrowly missed making it two Americans with a Nordic combined medal. He was fourth. The winner, Jason Lamy Chappuis, is an American by birth who has always raced for France. Nordic combined is a mix of ski jumping and cross-country skiing. It’s been on the Winter Olympics program since 1924.
WOMEN’S HOCKEY
The only question was whether the United States would clobber China as badly as Canada’s 18-0 wipeout of Slovakia. No, but it was close. The Americans won 121, with Jenny Potter notching her BIATHLON Tim Burke and Jay Hakkinen first Olympic hat trick.
Kearney strikes gold for U.S. in women’s moguls WEST VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) – Four years ago, U.S. moguls skier Hannah Kearney sat in the stands in Turin after collapsing and placing a dismal 22nd in the qualifying round as Canadian Jenn Heil proudly climbed atop the podium for gold. It was a moment Kearney never wanted to repeat. “I felt like I let down my country, I let down myself, my friends,” she said. “I was embarrassed by my performance. I knew I had more in me.” She proved it Saturday night, when she exorcised that nightmarish performance and spoiled the party for Heil with a dominating victory on slushy Cypress Mountain. Kearney turned her showdown with the defending Olympic champion into a blowout, posting a score of 26.63 to claim the first U.S. gold medal in Vancouver. She also
postponed Canada’s long-awaited gold medal celebration for at least one more day. Kearney insisted she was more mature, more able to turn her brain off and simply ski than she was four years ago in Italy, when she came in as a favorite and was out of the running before she reached full speed. “Everything happens for a reason,” she said of her 2006 failure. “If I had known I was going to win a gold medal four years ago, I wouldn’t have cried so much.” Kearney put up a scintillating run in front of the heavily pro-Canadian crowd. Moments after Heil put up a score of 25.69 to catapult into first place, Kearney put together the run of a lifetime. The skier who admits she was once afraid of being upside down completed a backflip
and a 360-degree turn before blazing across the finish line with the fastest time of the night. While Kearney wasn’t sure it was a gold-medal winning run, the crowd seemed to have no doubt, letting out a small groan as everyone waited anxiously for her score to be posted. When it was, she celebrated with a gang tackle from teammate Shannon Bahrke, who bookended her silver at Salt Lake City in 2002 with a bronze in Vancouver. Heil came in having won her last four World Cup events and was considered one of the nation’s best bets to finally reach the top of the podium in a home games. Prime Minister Stephen Harper showed up to cheer on Heil, hoping she could provide the golden moment the country had invested $110 million in as part of its “Own the Podium” program.
Ohno crashes medal stand VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Apolo Anton Ohno glided around the ice Saturday night with a U.S. flag tucked under an arm, flashing a handful of fingers plus one. That makes six, his new career medal count that matches Bonnie Blair for the most by a Winter Olympian from the United States. This one was a silver in the 1,500 meters, and it typified the wild
world of short-track speedskating. Ohno was fourth going into the last turn when two of the three Koreans in front of him wiped out, giving him a clear stretch to the finish line behind Lee Jung-su of South Korea. It also paved the way to a bronze medal for J.R. Celski, just five months after the blade of his right skate sliced his left thigh to the bone during a crash at the
U.S. short track championships. Ohno and Celski put the United States on the medal stand for the first time at the Vancouver Games. Then Hannah Kearney won the women’s moguls to put an American on the top step for the first time. Teammate Shannon Bahrke earned bronze, so the United States ended the day with four medals and an early lead in the overall chase.

Deacons leap into second place in ACC WINSTON-SALEM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When it was over, the ranked team left the court in eighth place and the unranked team had leapfrogged into second. Welcome to the unpredictable Atlantic Coast Conference, where Wake Forest is quietly moving into contention. Al-Farouq Aminu had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and the Demon Deacons closed with a dominating run to beat struggling No. 20 Georgia Tech 75-64 on Saturday night and further jumble the topsyturvy league. Ishmael Smith had the clinching hoop with just over a minute left and surpassed 1,000 career points for the surging Demon Deacons (18-5, 8-3), who have won four straight and six of seven. Smith had 10 points, eight assists and six rebounds as Wake Forest jumped over Maryland and inched within a game of league-leader Duke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think all the pieces are starting to come together,â&#x20AC;? Aminu said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to flow.â&#x20AC;? The Yellow Jackets (178, 5-6), unable to solve their road woes, are going in the opposite direction. Despite a second straight quiet game from Derrick Favors, Georgia Tech had the lead midway through the second half. The Yellow Jackets were then outscored 15-2 to end the game, going the final
8:50 without a field goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was one of those games,â&#x20AC;? Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At 62-60 we had three really good looks to make it a two-possession game.â&#x20AC;? Gani Lawal had 15 points and 12 rebounds, and freshman Glen Rice Jr. added 14 points for Georgia Tech, which dropped to 1-5 in ACC road games and failed to complete a season sweep of Wake Forest. They shot just 35 percent from the field and collected 17 turnovers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach said we stopped them 14 of the last 15 possessions,â&#x20AC;? Wake Forest big man Chas McFarland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge. We just had to lock down.â&#x20AC;? The fast-paced, bruising game featured a couple of shoving matches and was full of momentum swings and streaky play. It ended with Georgia Tech unable to get a hoop of any kind. Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runner and Tony Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; putback on consecutive possessions snapped a tie and put Wake Forest ahead 6662 with 4:28 left. Woods, ejected from Wakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over Boston College Tuesday for a flagrant elbow, hit two free throws with 3:32 left to put the Demon Deacons ahead 68-62. With Wake Forest ahead 70-64, Georgia Tech allowed the Demon Deacons to run down the shot clock, and Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driving scoop shot in traffic with

Wake Forest coach Dino Gaudio makes his point to an official in the second half of Saturday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ACC game against Georgia Tech at Joel Coliseum. The Demon Deacons posted a 75-64 victory to improve to 18-5 overall and 8-3 in the conference. Wake stands second in the league race, one game behind Duke. 1:30 left put it away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the fastest guy in the league going end to end. We know that,â&#x20AC;? Hewitt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some success in the past guarding him. But at the end of the game, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make shots and he created shots for his team.â&#x20AC;? Aminu hit only 7 of 18 shots, but the ACCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top rebounder controlled the glass and added four
steals. He also went over 500 career rebounds and Wake Forest put itself in position to perhaps move into the rankings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; possibly replacing Georgia Tech. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be cool to be ranked,â&#x20AC;? Aminu said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather be second in the league than ranked.â&#x20AC;? Smith hit 1,000 career points on a bucket with just over 16 minutes left to
put Wake ahead 46-38. Georgia Tech went ahead 62-60 with 8:50 left, but that turned out to be Georgia Techâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last field goal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and an end result much different than on Jan. 28 in Atlanta when the Yellow Jackets cruised to a 79-58 win. Wake Forest improved to 12-1 on its home floor, including 6-0 in ACC contests.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Samardo Samuels scored all eight of his points during a late surge and Jerry Smith sank a pair of clutch free throws with 17.8 seconds left and Louisville rallied for a 66-60 upset of No. 2 Syracuse on Sunday. Syracuse (24-2, 11-2 Big East), which held off Connecticut 72-67 on Wednesday night after squandering a 16-point lead in the second half, had won 11 straight since a loss to Pittsburgh. It was the fifth straight win over the Orange for Louisville (16-9, 7-5), which was 0-4 against ranked teams entering the game. Its last win over a ranked team was a 10-point triumph over Syracuse last March.
Samuels scored his first points of the game on a pair of free throws with 7:46 left and followed with a hook off the glass to tie the game at 50. Mike Marraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3 from the left corner gave the Cardinals a three-point edge and Samuels made a twisting layup through traffic to put Louisville up 55-52 with 5:14 left.
RUTGERS 71, (7) GEORGETOWN 68 PISCATAWAY, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jonathan Mitchell scored a career-high 24 points, including the clinching free throws with 4.1 seconds to play, and Rutgers upset No. 7 Georgetown 7168 on Sunday, the Scarlet Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first win over a top 10 team in seven years. Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous career high was 21 points against the Hoyas in an 88-63 loss in January.
Terps face quick turnaround COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Maryland basketball team has no intention of analyzing with great detail its lopsided, humbling loss at Duke. Under different circumstances, the Terrapins might have scrutinized the tape to fully understand what went wrong during their 77-56 defeat Saturday. Fortunately, the schedule doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow for such an unproductive exercise. Maryland returns to the court tonight to face Virginia in another important Atlantic Coast Conference matchup. The game was postponed from
Wednesday night because of snow, leaving both the Terps (16-7, 6-3) and Cavaliers (14-8, 5-4) the prospect of playing twice in the span of three days. Virginia lost at Virginia Tech 61-55 on Saturday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like more than one day, obviously, but Virginia has one day to get ready, too,â&#x20AC;? Maryland coach Gary Williams said Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even, then you just go play. You do what you can do.â&#x20AC;? The Terrapins put the loss to Duke in their rearview mirror when the team bus pulled out of Cameron Indoor Stadium. When the team returned
home, they ate dinner together before watching the UVA-Virginia Tech game. Williams intended to show the players more tape of the Cavaliers on Sunday before holding a brief afternoon workout. Williams bristled when asked if the tight schedule was perhaps a blessing because it gave the Terps less time to think about a defeat in which they trailed by 15 at halftime and never cut the deficit below double digits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We spent no time reviewing (Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) game,â&#x20AC;? the coach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there to think about? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not embarrassed. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be ready for Virginia.â&#x20AC;?
Duke women hold off Virginia Tech THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BLACKSBURG, Va. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jasmine Thomas scored 22 points and No. 8 Duke held off Virginia Tech for a 65-53 victory on Sunday. The Blue Devils (21-4, 9-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) won their third in a row Sunday, but were tested until the end by the Hokies (13-12, 2-8).
Duke has a 13-game winning streak over Virginia Tech. The Hokies were looking for a second upset on their home court following a win over then-No. 10 North Carolina last month. Karima Christmas added 15 points and Joy Cheek had 10 for the Blue Devils. Shanel Harrison had 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Hokies. Lindsay Biggs scored 13.

David Lighty added 17 points and Evan Turner came within two assists of a triple double with 16 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists. The win kept the Buckeyes in a firstplace tie in the Big Ten with Michigan State. The Illini fell from the top spot and are a game back of the leaders.

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dustin Johnson had to work a lot longer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and harder â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for another victory at Pebble Beach. With a birdie from the bunker on the 18th hole Sunday, Johnson became the first player in 20 years to win backto-back Pebble Beach National Pro-Am titles, closing with a 2-over 74 for a one-shot victory over David Duval and J.B. Holmes. It certainly wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as easy as last year, when Johnson was declared the winner after 54 holes because of rain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All you can ask for is a chance to win on the last hole,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. On a day of stunning vistas with enough wind that only seven players broke 70, Johnson posted the highest final round by a Pebble Beach champion since Johnny Miller closed with a 74 in 1994. The 25-year-old Johnson is the first player since Tiger Woods to come out of college and win in each of his first three years on the PGA Tour.

Recovery won’t stop debt from growing WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s bad enough that Greece’s debt problems have rattled global financial markets. In the world’s largest economic and military power, there’s a far more serious debt dilemma. For the U.S., the crushing weight of its debt threatens to overwhelm everything the federal government does, even in the short-term, bestcase financial scenario — a full recovery and a return to prerecession employment levels. The government al-

Toyota workers assemble parts on 2010 Prius hybrid vehicles at Toyota Tsutsumi Plant in Toyota, central Japan. Since October, Toyota has recalled 8.5 million vehicles around the world for accelerator, braking and floor-mat problems in the biggest recall in its seven-decade history.
Recall woes show new challenges for ‘Toyota Way’ TOKYO (AP) — Assembly lines that run like clockwork. Supplies that arrive just in time. Dedicated workers trained to spot defects, churning out quality cars in the millions. Such are the trademarks of “Toyota Way” manufacturing. That’s why the automaker’s recent bungling over a spate of global recalls appears so out of character. Those very principles of efficiency and flawlessness that earned Toyota Motor Corp. a near-perfect reputation couldn’t prevent problems cropping up in areas outside the factory, areas just as crucial these days in the industry — design development, crisis management and software programming. Toyota management simply failed to practice what they had long preached the rank-and-file,
Anand Sharma, chief executive of TBM Consulting Group, based in Durham, North Carolina, told The Associated Press. “Toyota managers did not respond to the early signals. That’s when they should have identified the root causes,” said Sharma, who teaches Toyota production methods to businesses. “If the Toyota brand no longer stands for quality, what does it stand for?” Since October, Toyota has recalled 8.5 million vehicles around the world for accelerator, braking and floor-mat problems in the biggest recall in its seven-decade history. The gas pedal and floor-mat defects were design errors in supplier parts, and the faulty braking in hybrid models was caused by a software glitch.
They weren’t manufacturing errors, the kinds of defects workers at plants have been trained to pick out — a piece that doesn’t fit, a crack in a part, something that diverges from the design. “As far as we know, Toyota is still the best manufacturing company in the world when it comes to production management,” Michael A. Cusumano, professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, said in telephone interview from London. “Workers have nothing to do with this.” Toyota’s manufacturing prowess has been the topic of countless books, emulated by rivals, including Ford Motor Co., and viewed as critical in Toyota’s climb from a tiny Japanese carmaker to the world’s biggest, surpassing General Motors Co. in 2008.
Anthem Blue Cross delays controversial rate hike ment of Insurance had been working with AnHealth insurer Anthem them since mid-November Blue Cross will postpone to get more information its much-criticized plan to raise rates for some California residents who buy insurance on their own, after reaching a deal Saturday with state regulators. Anthem’s planned rate hike, which the state estimates would affect about 700,000 customers, averaged 25 percent and would have been as high as 39 percent for some. Anthem Blue Cross of California, based in Thousand Oaks, agreed to postpone the increase from March 1 until May 1 so California could have outside experts review the compa- about the increase, Insurny’s complex and detailed ance Commissioner Steve plan filing, including data Poizner said.

comply with a 2006 state law that insurers spend 70 cents of every premium dollar on medical care. “Medical cost inflation in California is in the 10 to 15 percent range, so I have a healthy skepticism how they can get to 39 percent” and comply with the law, Poizner said. If they don’t, he said, he will direct the company to reduce its prices, “or I will take away their license to sell insurance” in California. He officially requested the delay on Monday, but said Anthem stuck to its position that the individual insurance plan had lost money last year and the rate increases were justified — until Saturday. The change of heart came after a week of extensive media reports about the rate hikes, harsh criticism from the Obama
administration and two Congressmen scheduling a hearing to look into the rates on Feb. 24. The insurance department has hired consulting firm Axene Health Partners LLC of Southern California to review Anthem’s rate proposal and determine whether it complies with the 70-cent rule. They should finish by mid-April. Anthem, a subsidiary of insurance giant WellPoint Inc. of Indianapolis, said its proposed rates reflect anticipated medical costs. But Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Thursday “it remains difficult to understand” how premium increases of that size can be justified when WellPoint Inc. reported a $4.75 billion profit in the last quarter of 2009.
ready has made so many promises to so many expanding “mandatory” programs. Just keeping these commitments, without major changes in taxing and spending, will lead to deficits that cannot be sustained. The U.S. debt crisis also raises the question of how long the world’s leading power can remain its largest borrower. Moody’s Investors Service recently warned that Washington’s credit rating could be in jeopardy if the nation’s finances didn’t improve.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) – Hundreds of mourners braved light snow and bitter cold Sunday before slowly filing past the casket of late congressman John Murtha at a funeral home less than a mile from where he lived. Mourners ranged from Gov. Ed Rendell to average citizens who revered Murtha, a powerful Democrat who headed the House appropriations defense subcommittee. Rendell said Murtha’s death at age 77 after complications from gallbladder surgery cost him a plainspoken friend and cost Pennsylvania “the best ally we ever had” in Washington.

Ice rink’s roof partially collapses ROSTRAVER, Pa. (AP) – The roof of a skating rink partially collapsed while the ice was being resurfaced during a youth hockey tournament Sunday, and emergency crews used cadaver dogs to search through the rubble for anyone who
