HIGH POINT – The City Council on Monday approved a rezoning case that paves the way for a planned expansion of High Point University’s campus. During its meeting, the council unanimously approved a rezoning request and conditional-use permit amendment for the university that will allow HPU to establish a Greek Village of fraternity and sorority houses on about 10 acres bounded by Montlieu Avenue, North Avenue, Fifth Street and Willoubar Terrace on the southwestern border of the campus. HPU’s plans call for 14 twostory buildings to be constructed at a size of about 3,000 square feet each in an oval-shaped configuration. Each house will have room to accommodate 13 students. “They’re like big, grand Georgian homes. As you know, the university tends to do things on a grand scale,” said Ron Guerra, director of construction and renovation for HPU. “There will be very, very strict rules as to

‘They’re like big, grand Georgian homes. As you know, the university tends to do things on a grand scale.’ Ron Guerra Director of construction, renovation for High Point University how these houses are maintained.” Councilwoman Bernita Sims asked what measures would be taken to mitigate noise from the village for the surrounding neighborhood. Guerra said there would be screening, including a wall on a portion of the site, a landscape buffer and other measures. “I would ask that the university be very attentive and that we kind of monitor the situation to make sure things go according to plan,” Sims said. “A lot of things can happen at 1 or 2 o’clock in the morning.” Councilman Latimer Alexander asked how construction would be handled and what kind of impact it would have on the surrounding neighborhood. Guerra said the plan is to have all construction traffic access the site off North Avenue and that it wasn’t expected to be a rushed project that would involve work at odd hours. “The noise element we are definitely taking very seriously,” he said. Also Monday, the council approved a conditional-use permit amendment for Westchester Christian Center, part of Providence Place, that will allow construction of one adult-care building instead of the original plan of seven separate buildings on the eastern boundary of Providence Place’s 52.8 acre site that is bounded by Westchester Drive, Whittier Avenue and Edgewood Drive. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

PART mounts annual challenge to commuters BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Supporters of mass transit in the region are taking a run-and-ride approach to the annual Triad Community Challenge. Organizers of the challenge, designed to promote alternate forms of commuting, will kick off the event with a race and walk April 10 at Triad Park in Kernersville. The Commuter Dash race and walk will cover three miles in the park near the Guilford-Forsyth County line. Participants in the race and walk need to arrive by 8:30 a.m. April 10, said Chantale Wesley, transportation demand manager for the Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation. Registration for the Triad Commute Challenge Dash is free, organizers say. PART, the mass transit agency

The Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation and Triad Air Awareness will co-sponsor the fourth annual Triad Commute Challenge April 10-July 10. The campaign aims to heighten awareness about air quality while encouraging people to try an alternate form of commuting at least one time, instead of driving alone.

for the region, is co-sponsoring the fourth annual challenge, which continues through July 10. Last year, more than 2,500 people pledged to carpool, vanpool, ride the bus, bike, walk or telecommute during the chal-

lenge. “As a result, participants saved approximately $140,000 in fuel expenses while reducing over 1.2 million vehicle miles of travel,” PART reports. This year’s goal is 3,500 participants, Wesley said. The 2010 challenge takes place in the wake of PART posting its first decline in bus ridership since the agency began ferrying passengers eight years ago. Total PART Express ridership declined 2 percent from 465,284 during 2008 to 453,583 last year. PART Executive Director Brent McKinney earlier this year attributed the decline to high area unemployment reducing the number of people commuting to work and moderate levels for gas prices during 2009. McKinney told The High Point Enterprise last month that he remains pleased with PART’s ridership levels. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Thomasville gives green light to sewer line fix BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – The first project in a list of several to repair the Chair City’s sewer collection system got the go-ahead by the Thomasville City Council Monday night. The City Council unanimously approved $537,402 to repair the Baptist Children’s Home collector line, which was the site of last summer’s wastewater spill of 15.93 million gallons of sewage that entered into Hamby Creek. “The money that is being used to finance this project comes from a capital reserve fund that we have put back over a number of years

and had saved,” Councilman Raleigh York Jr. said. “We do have many other projects that we will be undertaking in the future, and money being like it is, we don’t have any further savings at this time to do that with. We will be making a plan for that.” The spill, which began July 13 and ended Aug. 4, came from the North Hamby Creek Outfall line near Baptist Children’s Home Road, and sewage spilled into the North Hamby Creek in the Yadkin/Pee Dee River Basin, which flows into High Rock Lake. The spill happened as a result of a collapsed manhole, possibly during or after a rainstorm, according to city officials.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Last month, City Manager Kelly Craver said the city had received a report prepared by Pease and Associates Consulting Engineers that listed $2.3 million worth of projects. The project for the Baptist Children’s Home collector line includes $62,000 for engineering, $62,372 for contingency and $413,030 for construction improvements. Aside from the Baptist Children’s Home collector line, Pease and Associates also has identified repairs that need to be made to the collection system at Concord and Amazon streets, as well as upgrades to the Northside and

TRIAD – High Point small business owner Myrene Stanley is making her first bid for public office this year because she’s tired of standing on the sidelines of electoral politics. Stanley, a longtime Republican volunteer and immediate past president of the High Point Republican Women, filed Friday for the Guilford County Board of Commissioners District 2 seat being vacated at the end of the year by Republican Steve Arnold. High Point City Councilman Bill Bencini also filed last week as a Republican, ensuring a May 4 primary in the Republicanleaning district. Arnold, a veteran politician, announced a week ago that he won’t seek re-election. Stanley, who moved to High Point 20 years ago from Tennessee, said the conservative Tea Party movement inspired her to run. “I’m an ordinary person, and I’m

not really a career politician. I’m just someone who’s tired of reacting,” said Stanley, who operates All Occasion Basket Creations. Stanley said concerns about excessive taxation and government interference aren’t only federal issues, but local matters as well. In other Guilford County filings, Jamestown Town Councilwoman Georgia Nixon-Roney on Monday became the fourth Republican to file in State House District 61, the seat that Rep. Laura Wiley, R-Guilford, will vacate after this year. Wiley announced late last year that she wouldn’t seek another term in the Republican-leaning district. Democratic challenger Marcus Brandon Jr. of Greensboro filed Friday in State House District 60, the seat held by Rep. Earl Jones, D-Guilford, who plans to seek reelection. Brandon’s filing ensures a primary in the Democratic-leaning district. In Davidson County, Rep. Hugh Holliman, D-Davidson and House

Three charged in motorcycle thefts BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

Volunteers Kathy Pfeffer and Peter Mogendorf carry donated furniture in The Bin in Huntersville, which provides free household items to qualifying families.

Volunteer group delivers hope CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Bin in Huntersville is a charity based on the simplest of ideas: Donors want their gift to go to directly to people in need. Not part of it, but all of it. So The Bin obliges by giving away 100 percent of everything it receives. No one on the staff is paid. It operates as a clearing house, taking in donated household goods and â&#x20AC;&#x153;recyclingâ&#x20AC;? them to struggling families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you donate household goods to Goodwill or the Salvation Army, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sold in stores and they take the money and apply it to a mission,â&#x20AC;? says Paul Sousa, a former donor to The Bin who is now on of its board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their missions are good and I support them. But with us, if you donate a bed or dresser, it literally goes right to people who need them.

We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resell anything. We give it away.â&#x20AC;? There is a process involved. All needy families are screened and referred by a handful of partner agencies, including Florence Crittenton Services and the Ada Jenkins Center in Davidson. Last year, it got 233 referrals, but 38 could not be helped for reasons that included a shortage of furniture. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with that in mind that Alisa Grasso, The Binâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new marketing director, is determined to raise awareness of The Bin. She has begun a social media campaign, including a page on Facebook for the charity and is launching a series of community fundraisers starting in March. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really believe in its mission and I believe we can serve more people,â&#x20AC;? says Grasso. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough exposure, so people end up taking their items and do-

nating them elsewhere. I want to change that.â&#x20AC;? Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to help at least 100 more families annually in northern Mecklenburg County, which will require more volunteers and more household goods. The group was founded in 2004 by a team of professional organizers who committed themselves to finding a good use for all the clutter they removed from the homes of their clients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clients didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like that idea that their donations (to thrift stores) might be sold to people whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d turn around and sell them on eBay, and make money off them,â&#x20AC;? said Karin Solomonson, who was among the founders. The Bin has since grown to a volunteer staff of two dozen, and has its own office space and a trailer for pickups, both of which are donated by the community.

DAVIDSON COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Three people face felony charges following an investigation into recent property crimes by Davidson County sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s officials. The investigation started when a homeowner from N.C. 150 north in the Reeds community reported two dirt bikes worth a total of $1,400 had been stolen from their storage building between Feb. 5-7. Three days later, investigators got a tip that two people were trying to sell the bikes. Vice & Narcotics Unit detectives set up an undercover purchase for one of the motorcycles at Byerly and Old Mill Farm roads in the Reedy Creek community. The transaction was completed, authorities said, and three subjects were taken into custody. The motorcycle was positively identified as the one that had been stolen. Detectives also located the other stolen bike along the side of John Snider Road near

a ditch. All of the property from the break-in was recovered and returned to the owner. Zachary Randall Hailey, 19, of Lexington, was charged with breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering and possession of stolen goods, all felonies, deputies said. Johnny Francis Odell Jr., 26, of Lexington, was assessed the same charges as well as a probation violation after deputies found he was wanted by the N.C. Department of Correction since 2002, authorities said. An additional check of court records found several unserved warrants on Odell in the Clerk of Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s database. Melissa Ann Fredere, 21, of Lexington, was charged with possession of stolen property and accessory after the fact to a felony, deputies said. She was jailed under a $5,000 bond. Bonds for Hailey and Odell were set at $25,000 each.

Neighbors of Trinity truckers have rights, too Thanks to Chester Ayers (Your View, Feb. 11, “Trinity Council is protecting residential areas”), who made a clear case for not allowing trucks in residential subdivisions. Let me tell you how it feels to live directly across from those trucks. We have lived in our development for approximately 35 years. Most residents have been here for about that amount of time or a little less. While it is not the most distinguished neighborhood, we have always tried to keep up our houses and lots. One day, new neighbors moved in across the street from us and brought their huge transfer truck with them. The former beautiful lot across the street that was not developed, but kept up perfectly, became a parking lot for the truck, trailer and several extras during the time they lived there. Not to mention that roads are not equipped to handle this kind of weight and traffic. In addition, they had four-wheelers, which made dirt tracks complete with dust, mud, noise, etc. I realize they were, at that time, within their rights to do this. But where are my rights in all this?

Am I supposed to look and listen to this mess just because they had the “right” to do it? My neighbors finally moved on, but that doesn’t mean I am safe. The next crew could come in with even more trucks, etc. So, my question is this: If the shoe was on the other foot, would they be so quick to embrace this in their neighborhood? Yes, everyone has a right to make a living, but you don’t have to bring this home with you when the majority of people involved in the development must suffer. It opens the door for a lot of businesses to open in the development – you let one in, you must let them all in. PAM GOINS Trinity

Many would rather believe lies than the truth The “Tea Fox Clan” is alive and well in its campaign to “black-

mail” the “black male,” President Obama. The Tea Party and Fox News network, are the new clandestine, mostly white, male organized parties, trying to blackmail a black male, who is attempting to help fix what has always been broken in America (race relations). This clandestine lifestyle affects black and white people equally. Michael “want to be” Steele and Sarah “winking” Palin are puppets in the pulpit for conservative ideals. Ministers of the Gospel are using the old-time-tested ethics that once claimed slavery as just and good, only to mirror a separate but equal mentality. Just “say no” to everything he is “for,” and no to everything we are “for,” that he is “for.” Most all of the Republicans, and a few of the Democrats, House (“hut”), and Senate (“sin-ate”) have chosen to steal, kill and destroy all plans President Obama has proposed. Congress on both sides acts as if they were astronauts, taken into outer space,

searching for water on the moon, but there is a liquid, it is called “blood.” Revelation, the real day of wrath for the unjust liars and thieves, a great earthquake, the sun becomes black (stops shining) and the moon becomes as blood (and drips away). The reality of being blackmailed by a black male has crippled the minds and hearts of many people, who rather believe a lie, rather than truth, to maintain a piece of the pie. “Romans” tells us not to be conformed to this country’s (world) attitudes, ways, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, for that good, acceptable and perfect will (way) of God.

ll of us adults, at one time or another, complain about quality of education in our public schools and express a desire that someone should do something about it. Well, you can do something about it by helping a second-grader in one of six elementary schools in High Point become more engaged and more successful in reading. The “High Point Reads” program, which begins March 1 and continues through April 30, connects interested adults with second-grade teachers at such schools as Oak Hill, Fairview, Montlieu, Parkview, Kirkman Park and Oak View. You’ll benefit from the help the partners in the process – Guilford County Schools, High Point Alliance for Workforce Preparedness, Communities in Schools, High Point Public Library and High Point Chamber of Commerce – can provide. Yes, you will have to attend one of two-hour orientation sessions (6-8 p.m. today at Dean B.

This is advice that Perdue really should take

hen North Carolina Republican Chairman Tom Fetzer held a press conference a few days ago to urge Gov. Beverly Perdue to fire two controversial members of her Cabinet, you can be sure that he didn’t intend to do the governor any favors. That’s not Fetzer’s job. His job is to elect Republicans. But intentions aren’t the same as results. And as it turns out, Perdue would indeed be well advised to fire Crime Control & Public Safety Secretary Reuben Young and Correction Secretary Alvin Keller without delay. Despite recent upticks in statewide polls, Perdue remains one of the most unpopular governors in the United States. Because she’s only been at the job for a year, it’s unlikely that her policy decisions alone explain the depths of her unpopularity. The other explanation has a name: Mike Easley. In the minds of many North Carolina voters, the Perdue administration is a continuation of the Easley administration. That’s a bit unfair on two counts. First, unlike the vice president of the United States, the lieutenant governor of North Carolina doesn’t really serve in the administration of the top dog. Second, Gov. Perdue has already taken important steps to break with her predecessor. Her press aides actually release public records. Her schedule is usually public and reflects an actual attention to the responsibilities of the office, rather than to personal business and tax-funded commuting trips from the beach. Still, the governor hasn’t yet converted the political equivalent of a separation into a divorce. As recent testimony in an ongoing lawsuit has revealed, the Easley administration had an ongoing policy of stymieing media inquiries and evading state laws. As

former legal counsel to Easley, Reuben Young was at least complicit if not active in the administration’s misbehavior. As for Correction Secretary Keller, his contribution to the mess wasn’t years ago but just months ago, while handling OPINION one of the Perdue administration’s thorniest issues – a John NC Supreme Court decision Hood that may result in the release ■■■ of dangerous criminals with botched “life” sentences. To disagree with the Court’s reading of past state laws and sentencing decisions is one thing. But public records just obtained by the Raleigh News & Observer appear to show that Keller wasn’t candid with the judicial branch or the public about what steps his department took to prepare for the release of the inmates before Gov. Perdue went public with her objections. Coming on the heels of the revelations about the Easley administration’s improper and obnoxious approach to providing public information and complying with its legal and ethical responsibilities, the Keller story has once again drawn a damaging connection between North Carolina’s current governor and her predecessor. In order to recover her footing and become an asset rather than a liability to a Democratic Party facing big challenges, Perdue should do whatever it takes to put Easley far, far in the rearview mirror. To begin with, it means finding new secretaries at Correction and Crime Control & Public Safety. It’s the right move, even though Tom Fetzer (and now I) said so.

Outage impedes release of Americans

Another quake becomes new Haiti fear PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Hundreds of houses that survived Haiti’s killer quake still stand empty even as quake victims desperate for shelter crowd the streets. The reason is fear: Nobody is quite sure they can withstand another quake. At least 54 aftershocks have shuddered through Haiti’s shattered capital since a Jan. 12 quake killed more than 200,000 people. They have toppled weakened buildings faster than demolition crews can get to them. A Red Cross official says a school has collapsed, killing three children, in the city of Cap-Haitien, about 80 miles north of the country’s quake-shattered capital.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – Haiti’s creaky, quake-damaged electrical system apparently delayed on Monday a judge’s decision on whether to release 10 Americans charged with child kidnapping. Prosecutor Josephe Manes Louis told The Associated Press that he completed his recommendation to the judge, as the law requires, but that a power outage Monday kept him from printing it out and de-

livering it. “I have made my decision,” he said. “What is blocking me now is the electricity.” Power has only been restored to about one-fifth of Port-au-Prince. But even before the earthquake only one in four Haitians had power and, on average, any given capital neighborhood only had 10 hours of power a day. Because today is a national holiday – Mardi Gras – Louis said he did

not expect the judge to issue a decision until Wednesday morning. Neither Louis nor Judge Bernard Saint-Vil would say whether a provisional release would allow the group to leave the country while an investigation continues. Saint-Vil said last week he would recommend the Americans be granted provisional release. He said he accepted the defense argument that they had good intentions.

Tropical cyclone Rene pounds Tonga NUKU’ALOFA, Tonga (AP) – Tropical Cyclone Rene pounded Tonga with powerful winds overnight, causing major damage to buildings in the capital city, tearing off roofs, downing trees and cutting power and phone lines in the South Pacific island nation. When phone service was restored early Tuesday, police said they had no immediate reports of death or injury during the storm that has hammered the three main island groups of the kingdom for more than 24 hours.

Saudi official cool to new sanctions on Iran RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister on Monday expressed doubts about the usefulness of imposing more sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program. Prince Saud al-Faisal told a news conference in the Saudi capital that the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear ambitions demands a more immediate solution than sanctions. He described sanctions as a long-term solution, and he said the threat is more pressing.

Hamas man killed by European hit squad DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Dubai’s police chief said Monday an 11-member hit squad carrying European passports and disguised in wigs, fake beards and tennis clothes was behind the mysterious killing of a Hamas commander in his hotel room last month. Authorities also released photos of the 11. Lt. Gen. Dahi Khalfan Tamim did not directly implicate Israel, as the Islamic militant group has. But the details he released at a news conference in the Gulf emirate are the most comprehensive accusations by Dubai authorities since the body of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was found Jan. 20 in his luxury hotel room near Dubai’s international airport.

Rescue workers and police officers work in and around two passenger trains that collided in Halle, Belgium, Monday. Early reports say up to 20 people may have been killed in a head-on collision.

18 killed in Belgian train collision BRUSSELS (AP) – A rush-hour commuter train sped through a red signal and slammed into an oncoming train as it left a suburban Brussels station Monday, killing at least 18 people and disrupting rail traffic in northern Europe. Investigations into one the worst accidents on the Belgian rails were likely to focus on whether human error was responsible or if it could have been influenced by the persistently freezing temperatures that

have iced up the European capital. Officials said 80 people were injured, 20 of them seriously, and the death toll – 15 men and three women – was not considered final. As darkness fell more than 10 hours later, rescuers were still looking for victims in the wreckage, said Jos Colpin, the spokesman for the federal prosecutor’s office. The fate of the two drivers was not immediately known, and officials said they were having dif-

The impact peeled away the front of one train car and threw at least one other off the tracks, severing the limbs of some passengers, witnesses and officials said.

Clinton: Iran’s arms a big obstacle RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) – U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday Iran is sliding into a military dictatorship, a new assessment suggesting a rockier road ahead for U.S.-led efforts to stop Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

As the first high-level Obama administration official to make such an accusation, Clinton was reflecting an ever-dimming outlook for persuading Iran to negotiate limits on its nuclear program, which it has insisted is intended only for peaceful purposes.

Israeli PM pushes for Iran sanctions in Moscow MOSCOW – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday he pressed for “severe sanctions” against Iran over its nuclear program in his meeting with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, and he praised the Russian leader for showing “an understanding” over the issue. The meeting came just days after Iran announced it would be enriching uranium to higher levels. That process could be used to build bombs if ramped up further and has fueled Israel’s conviction that Iran wants to ultimately develop nuclear weapons. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Evan Bayh to retire from Senate

Space station’s fancy new lookout attached CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) – Astronauts successfully attached a fancy new observation deck to the International Space Station early Monday after a long, frustrating night spent dealing with stuck bolts and wayward wiring. But they will have to wait a few more days before gazing out the $27 million domed lookout, expected to provide unprecedented 360-degree views of Earth, outer space and the space station itself. The shutters on its seven windows, including the largest ever sent into space, will be unlocked during the mission’s third and final spacewalk tonight and cranked open

This image made available by NASA shows astronauts Robert Behnken and Nicholas Patrick during their spacewalk as they work outside the International Space Station. Wednesday or Thursday – and neither astronauts nor flight controllers can wait to soak in the views. “The cupola, I think, is really one of the most spectacular viewing plat-

forms that we will have had in space ... so we’re eagerly awaiting the release of the shutters and the first views,” flight director Kwatsi Alibaruho told reporters Monday. A pair of astronauts

used a giant robotic arm to move the observation deck from one side of the space station’s newest room, called Tranquility, to the other. The lookout had been attached to the room in a temporary po-

sition that allowed it to fit inside shuttle Endeavour’s payload bay during launch. It took several hours for the shuttle and station crews to complete the relocation job.

Police: Victims aid police in church attack RICHMOND, Calif. (AP) – Two victims wounded during a brazen shooting inside a Northern California church were cooperating Monday with police in the search for a hooded gunman and two other suspects. The victims and several other witnesses were initially reluctant to aid investigators but have since provided leads, police Sgt. Bisa French said. “If I knew something, I’d say something, but

others can’t see an advantage in that,” said Frank Robinson, a Richmond native who lives near the church. “If those guys were bold enough to shoot up a church, who’s to say they won’t come up to your front door and shoot you?” Police still don’t know why the man opened fire Sunday at the New Gethsemane Church of God in Christ in Richmond, but investigators don’t believe the attack was random.

It was the latest shooting in the city of about 103,000 on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay that already has seen seven homicides this year, including a 23-yearold pregnant woman killed during a drive-by shooting while picking up her son from school. Richmond garnered national attention after the gang rape of a 16-year-old girl outside a high school homecoming dance while as many as 20 bystanders watched without calling

Charles Miller, a deacon, is seen outside the New Gethsemane Church in Richmond, Calif., Sunday. police. Seven people from 15 to 43 years old have pleaded not guilty in the attack. Police are also looking into a string of more than

Man recants story about killing, burning wife WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) – Werner Lippe knows a lot about fire. The 68-year-old jeweler, on trial on charges of killing and incinerating his wife, used a propane-and-oxygen torch to melt platinum and gold in his home workshop. He kept a 55-gallon oil drum as a burn barrel to get rid of trash, tomato plants, even the carcass of a deer he shot to protect his vegetable garden. When his mother died and her body was being prepared for cremation, Lippe testified that he asked a mortician, “By the way, how do you burn people?” Prosecutors believe Lippe mastered that

The drum disappeared soon after Faith Lippe did; her body hasn’t been found. skill, using the barrel in 2008 to burn up the body of his 49-year-old wife, Faith Lippe, who was divorcing him. The drum disappeared soon after Faith Lippe did; her body hasn’t been found. Westchester County jurors have heard

more than two weeks of testimony at Lippe’s murder trial. They are expected to hear closing arguments and begin deliberating today. He faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted. Prosecutors presented jurors with multiple confessions. The jury has repeatedly heard a recording of him saying, “I hit her with a piece of wood. ... I dumped her in the barrel and burned her” and details like the color of the ash that Faith Lippe’s body was reduced to. Lippe now insists the confessions were made-up stories concocted to get dogged investigators off his back until he could make his case to a judge.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Sen. Evan Bayh, a centrist Democrat from Indiana, announced Monday that he won’t seek a third term in Congress, giving Republicans a chance to pick up a Senate seat. “To put it in words I think most people can understand: I love working for the people Bayh of Indiana, I love helping our citizens make the most of their lives, but I do not love Congress,” Bayh said at a news conference in Indianapolis, where he was joined by his wife and two sons. The departure of Bayh, who was on President Barack Obama’s short list of vice presidential candidate prospects in 2008, continues a recent exodus from Congress among both Democrats and Republicans, including veteran Democrats Christopher Dodd of Connecticut and Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island. The announcements have sprung up in rapidfire fashion amid polls showing a rising anti-incumbent fervor and voter anger over Washington partisanship, high unemployment, federal deficits and lucrative banking industry bonuses.

Husband: Alabama prof went to range before shooting HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) – The husband of an Alabama professor accused of fatally shooting three colleagues said Monday that the couple went to a shooting range recently, but that he didn’t know where she got the gun she used for practice that day. James Anderson told The Associated Press that his wife, Amy Bishop, didn’t do anything unusual in the days before Friday’s shooting. Bishop, a Harvard-educated neurobiologist, is accused of pulling a gun at a faculty meeting and shooting six people, three fatally. Two of the survivors remained in critical condition Monday. Anderson said he knew his wife had a gun, but didn’t know when or how she got it.

Norovirus spreads BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – After observing outbreaks recently in Raleigh and Jackson County, state health officials are warning people about norovirus. The disease sickened more than 180 people in a casino in Jackson County in January and 200 people at two Raleigh restaurants in December. During the Christmas holidays, Guilford County health officials investigated outbreaks in two nursing homes. Norovirus causes the “stomach flu,” or gastroenteritis. It spreads easily from person to person.

Health officials estimate that more than a million North Carolinians experience a norovirus-related illness each year. The illness often begins suddenly, usually about 24-to-48 hours after ingestion of the virus. In most people, symptoms last for one to two days. In one Guilford County nursing home, 22 residents were sickened and eight went to a hospital. At the second, 31 residents were sickened, Dr. Ward Robinson, county medical director, reported to the Guilford County Board of Health last month. After an outbreak, health officials inspect food service

and encourage sanitizing surfaces with a bleach solution, Robinson said. Outbreaks often occur in schools, hospitals and even on cruise ships, Robinson said. Most cases, except for those in the elderly, are mild, Robinson said. “The virus mutates and can change,” Robinson said. “People can carry it for weeks.” The most common symptoms include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, a low-grade fever, chills, headache, muscle aches and a general sense of tiredness. Children tend to experience more vomiting than adults. Health experts sug-

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Davidson County Sheriff David Grice filed for re-election on Monday, joining two other Republicans who have filed for sheriff this month. Grice filed just before noon, with about 20 supporters on hand. Among supporters were state Sen. Stan Bingham, R-Davidson, Wallburg Mayor Allen Todd, Denton Mayor Scott Morris, former Thomasville police Chiefs Ronald Bratton and Larry Murdock and former Sheriff Fred Sink. Appointed to the post of sheriff by the Republican Party in 2004 to fill the seat of Gerald Hege, Grice retained the office of sheriff in 2006 for a four-year term with a victory over Roy Holman. Hege, who filed earlier this month, resigned after pleading guilty to two felony counts of obstruction of justice for attempting to cover up money missing from the vice and narcotics unit of the sheriff’s department. Grice said he’s most proud about rebuilding “the reputation of the sheriff’s office.” “We had a situation where there was a lot of mistrust in the sheriff’s office because of situations which had occurred,” Grice said as he described the state of the sheriff’s

Sheriff David Grice holds his granddaughter, Roxy Grice, 5, as he registers to run for re-election on Monday. office in 2004. “We changed the image of the sheriff’s department, the interaction between the sheriff’s deputies and the public – just opened up the sheriff’s department.” As part of his platform, Grice said he has not and will not use the “office of Davidson County sheriff to promote myself, sell merchandise, create ‘reality’ TV shows, or participate in any other moneymaking schemes.” As sheriff, Hege starred

in a role on a national reality television program on Court TV and hasn’t ruled out starring in another TV show if given the chance. Noting he’s mainly concerned about the “integrity” of the sheriff’s office, Todd said he had no complaints concerning Grice’s tenure as sheriff. “Sheriff Grice ... has done an excellent job because his response to the Wallburg area has been extremely quick, never had any kind of issues

whatsoever with the sheriff’s department,” Todd said. “If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.” Grice, who was a criminal justice instructor at Davidson County Community College for 30 years, is credited for bringing all of the law enforcement agencies in Davidson County together, said Bratton, who retired last year as Thomasville’s chief of police. “At the time I was chief and he was sheriff, we worked well together. ... If we needed

something or we were having a problem, if he had the resources, he would provide resources to help us in Thomasville. It all worked out well.” Aside from Grice and Hege, Terry Price, a retired state patrolman, has filed to run against in the Republican primary. Edgar Shuler, a former Davidson County Sheriff’s Office lieutenant, has said he plans to file this week. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Meetings between cities, county focus on ethics BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Local government officials across the county are taking advantage of an ethics training session today to get together to discuss issues of mutual interest. Some of those same themes could carry over to a Wednesday session the Guilford County Board of Commissioners has scheduled with the Greensboro City Council. But so far, High Point officials have not been invited to meet with commissioners. “We just have not been able to get a date worked out,” said High Point Mayor

Becky Smothers. “We were not invited to the session with the town councils.” Commissioners have scheduled a series of three meetings today starting at 8 a.m. for state-required ethics training followed by the session with town leaders. Each session is scheduled for two hours. At 1 p.m., four commissioners will meet with school district officials in Greensboro to discuss budgets. “It has been hard to keep up with all these meetings and schedule one with the High Point council,” said Democratic Commissioner Bruce Davis of High Point, who serves on the budget committee.

Commissioners also will meet Thursday night to handle their business agenda. No specific agenda for the session with town leaders has been released. “It could be about money the county contributes to the towns and what may be available this year,” Smothers said. Davis speculated that commissioners may discuss a proposed merger of the county and Greensboro planning offices with Greensboro officials. A task force has worked on the possible consolidation for more than a year. Commissioners have not discussed the issue in public since a January retreat when they set a tentative July 1 target date

John Lovette Jr. HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; John Lovette Jr., October 4, 1926-February 10, 2010. After an extended illness, John went to be with the Lord at High Point Regional Hospital. He was born and raised in the Southside community of High Point and educated in the public schools. John joined Temple Memorial Baptist Church at the founding stage and faithfully and proudly served with the Ushers and Trustee ministries until he could no longer continue because of poor health. John owned and operated Lovetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Barbershop and Lovetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grocery from 1966 until he became disabled in 2003. He was one of three children born to the late John Lovette, Senior and Eloise Johnson Lovette. John was drafted into the Army in 1946 and served in WWII until 1948. After returning home from the military, John met and married Josie Bowen Lovette on November 4, 1950, and they shared their lives together for more than 59 years. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his daughter Christine Lovette, his son Willie Russell, and his brother Sammy Lovette.

Obesity is more a problem of quality than quantity

ear Abby: I am appalled and saddened when I go out to a restaurant and see the number of adults who force their children to eat. There are so many overweight people in the United States, why try to make a child finish a meal? They will eat when they are hungry; just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give them anything between meals. It hurts me to see parents say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave until you clean your plateâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like they are bad children for not eating. Please tell me if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m off base on this issue. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Milwaukee Grandma Dear Grandma: Perhaps you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t judge so quickly. The problem of obesity in this country has less to do with parents force-feeding their children than with children and adults who are consuming fattening foods in excessive portions and not burning off the calories. It may be that the children you are seeing want to consume only sweet, sugary foods â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the parents are simply trying to get them to eat a balanced meal. Dear Abby: A member of our family is very difficult to get along with and has a low boiling point. We never know what is going to trigger the anger, nor how long it will last. This person also

likes to play the victim. Everything gets blown out of proportion and 99 percent of the time ADVICE is unmerited. To us, Dear this behavAbby ior is rude, â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; mean and cruel. Some people avoid personal contact because they are tired of having their feelings hurt. We know we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change this person, but is this a form of mental abuse? Should we continue to ignore the punishment we are getting and continue to be kind and thoughtful and hope the mood will pass? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tired Of The Tirades Dear Tired: The tirades could be considered a form of mental abuse, but they could also be signs of substance abuse, a mental illness or a personality disorder. Your relativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior should not be ignored. In fact, I recommend you consult a licensed mental health professional to help you better understand whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on and how to effectively deal with it. Dear Abby: My parents will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversa-

ry and my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 70th birthday in March. They have invited my siblings and me, plus our spouses and grandchildren for a Caribbean cruise. The celebration was planned around a time when most of us could take time off work and school. Unfortunately, the event coincides with my stepdaughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s due date. Her mother (my wife) has already said she will stay behind for the birth. The problem is, my stepdaughter has said that anyone who misses the birth of her baby will not be allowed to have a relationship with her or her child. How do I make this right for my parents and my stepdaughter? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Troubled in Illinois Dear Troubled: You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. It will be up to your wife to make her daughter understand that the world doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t revolve around her, and that her attempt to blackmail you into being there for the birth of the baby will not punish you or your family, but rather isolate herself and the child. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mistake sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll regret in the future. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Police: Gunman shoots patient in hospital LAURINBURG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Police say a gunman shot a patient at a hospital in Laurinburg and tried to shoot the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriend. Multiple media outlets reported that police say the gunfire followed a fight at a club in McColl, S.C., early Monday. Laurinburg police Capt. Kimothy Monroe said Wayne â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wolfâ&#x20AC;? Simmons, the father of one of the women in the club fight, came to Scotland Memorial Hospital. He said Simmons entered a room and fired at Doma-

rio Covington, who was being treated for injuries from the fight. Monroe said Covington ran away and Simmons then tried to shoot Covingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriend, but the gun didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fire. Simmons was arrested in the hospital parking lot. Covington was in critical but stable condition. Police said Simmons suffered a heart attack and was transferred to a hospital in Charlotte. Monroe says that when Simmons is released, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll face several charges, included attempted murder.

Witness stands by testimony at trial RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The witness who testified against a North Carolina man at the 1993 murder trial that resulted in his conviction said at a special innocence hearing Monday that he stood by his original testimony. Ernest Andrews of New Bern testified before a three-judge panel in the case of Greg Taylor, who hopes to become the first person released in North Carolina as the result of the work of the North Carolina Innocence Com-

mission. Andrews testified in 1993 that Taylor confessed his involvement in the murder of a prostitute in Raleigh while the two men were being held at the Wake County Jail. Superior Court Judge Howard Manning, who heads the panel, pointed to Taylor and said to Andrews that Taylor had been in prison â&#x20AC;&#x153;in large measure, upon your sworn testimony ... Are you sticking with your

sworn testimony today?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, sir,â&#x20AC;? Andrews replied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not taking it back in any way?â&#x20AC;? Manning asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, sir.â&#x20AC;? Andrews, who was being held because he had been sentenced for embezzling from the insulation company where he worked, testified Monday that he hoped his cooperation would help him get a reduced sentence but that it did not.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some things I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do at my schoolâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do nor do I face drugs, sexual harassment, violence, and all the other things happening on school campuses today.â&#x20AC;? I get what I need to prepare for college-individualized study to meet my speciďŹ c needs and capabilities, college-preparatory courses, computerized learning, and enrichment programs.

re you at risk for heart disease? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to be aware of your risk in order to control and treat it. There are two types of risk factors: uncontrollable and controllable. Uncontrollable risk factors are things that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be changed, including age, gender and family history. We will focus on the controllable risk factors. Most people are concerned with high blood pressure, but what determines if you have high blood pressure? Anyone who has a resting blood pressure above 140/90 on two separate occasions or a person with diabetes with blood pressure higher than 130/80 is considered to have high blood pressure. High blood pressure injures blood vessel walls and makes the heart work much harder to pump blood. High blood pressure or taking hypertensive medication counts as a risk. Cholesterol or lipids are fats transported in the blood. Elevated cholesterol increases chances of fatty plaque build-up in the arteries that can slow or block blood flow. Cholesterol is a risk if it is higher than 200, the LDL (lousy cholesterol) is greater than 70, the HDL (good cholesterol) is lower than 40, the triglycerides are higher than 150 or you take cholesterol medication. On the positive side, if your heart-healthy HDL cholesterol is higher than 60, you can subtract one risk factor. Diabetes is a disease caused by a deficiency of insulin, which is a hormone secreted by the pancreas. Without insulin, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take glucose into our cells for the energy we need. Glucose stays in the blood, leading to high blood sugar. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to control blood sugar levels because there is no cure for diabetes. Having diabetes or a fasting blood sugar greater than 100 is a risk. Everyone knows that being overweight is not good for your health, but did you know that being even 10 pounds overweight increases your risk of heart disease? Intra-abdominal fat increases risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, poor cholesterol and heart disease. Other risks include: stress, depression, smoking and physical inactivity. Want to reduce your risk? Quit smoking, eat healthy and exercising regularly to help treat or control heart disease.

Actonel is a risk for me. I had a heart attack 20 years ago and have high blood pressure. – A.P.

The current recommendation of daily vitamin D for people between the ages of 51 and 70 is 400 IU, and for those 71 and older, 600 IU. Most authorities feel these limits are too low, and advise a dose of 1,000 IU to 1,200 IU a day. The official recommendation is likely to follow that amount. If I have done the arithmetic correctly, you take 1,200 IU of vitamin D a day. (I didn’t add the amount in the pill the physician assistant gave you. You have to add that in if you’re still taking it.) Twelve hundred IU is a safe amount. In fact, the upper limit for vitamin D is set at 2,000 IU. Experts believe that it isn’t dangerous to take three or four times that quantity. Actonel is an excellent osteoporosis drug. I can’t find any information that bans its use in people who have had a prior heart attack. It can cause a rise in blood pressure for a very small number of people. If it does that to you, stopping the medicine brings pressure back down. DR.

Dave Laut, a shotputter who won a bronze medal in the 1984 Olympics, was killed on Aug. 27. Jane Lautâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney Ron Bamieh says Dave Laut abused his wife and she was acting in self-defense. Bamieh says his client will plead not guilty and seek lower bail.

Minutes later, the backstage crowd at Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prestigious dog show kept clamoring for a closer look. The 3-year-old bruiser woke, raised up and unleashed a full, throaty bark.

Bob Lillich solders a copper leaf onto a water fountain he’s creating.

Metal winner Sculptor Bob Lillich cuts, shapes and fuses copper to form objects of art BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – Copper tulips? Copper orchids? Copper roses? If you doubt the beauty of copper flowers, you haven’t seen what High Point sculptor Bob Lillich can do when he puts those delicate petals to his metal. Lillich, a 69-year-old retired executive from Thomas Built Buses, has parlayed his long career in industry into a secondary career – although he mostly does it simply because he enjoys it – as a copper-on-granite sculptor. His home, his basement workshop and several galleries across the Triad feature the copper fruits of his labor, from water fountains and weather vanes to flowers, butterflies and candleholders. He also creates abstract pieces – “Martian Sunflower,” anyone? – and jewelry such as pendants and earrings. “I just enjoy creating,” says Lillich, who sells his work under the artist name of RL Baroni, a twisted version of his full name, Robert Baroni Lillich. “These are all original pieces, and I hardly ever run out of ideas. Whenever I’m making something, I’ll get an idea and write it down for later. I have lots of ideas that I haven’t gotten to yet.” Some of his most popular pieces are the water fountains, which range in height from 21 inches to 6 feet. The copper fountains are fully functional – Lillich powers them with pumps of various strengths – typically resembling a cascading plant in which the water pours gently down from one leaf to the next. Another popular water piece is

SPECIAL | HPE

A favorite among children, “Spiny the Swamp Beast” is one of Bob Lillich’s creations. one he calls “Spiny the Swamp Beast.” Spiny, a sinister-looking cross between a crocodile, a bird of prey and a scorpion, stands guard over a swamp where mushrooms are growing. Every 10 seconds or so, Spiny opens his mouth and salivates on the mushrooms, a function Lillich achieved with a balance in which the weight of the water eventually forces the beast’s mouth to fall open, releasing the water back into the mushroomfilled swamp. “The kids love this thing,” he says. Lillich spends anywhere from an hour a day to six or seven

hours a day in his workshop, where he cuts and forms his copper with shears, wire cutters and other hand tools. He fuses the metal together with heat and a copper alloy, a process he says makes the joints every bit as strong as the metal itself, if not more so. While his creations have plenty of colors – bright reds, greens, blues and golds – Lillich doesn’t use paints of any sort. Instead, he employs a special heating and rapid cooling process he developed to draw the colors out of the copper. He also uses a chemical process to accelerate the patina effect on copper, which yields blues and greens.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

“There are no pigments in there at all,” Lillich explains. “The only paint I have on it is a clear lacquer to preserve the color.” While Lillich likes making his water fountains and flowers, he especially enjoys being creative and coming up with pieces such as “Spiny the Swamp Beast,” “Martian Sunflower” – a brightly colored sunflower with an extraterrestrial look – and another water piece he’s making now that will incorporate a dragon. “I really want to get into the more creative stuff,” he says. “That’s the fun part of it for me.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Visiting the hospital can be a frightening experience for anyone, especially children. That’s why for the 12th year in a row, during the week of March 8-12, more than 1,500 secondgraders from 21 schools will visit Randolph Hospital for the annual Teddy Bear Fair. During the fair, nurses will perform mock procedures on “hurt” teddies to teach children that the hospital is a friendly and helping place. The fair is designed to help reduce children’s fears of visiting a hospital and having routine medical procedures performed. There is more to the fair than just teaching children why not to fear the hospital; these students also get a glimpse of the many health-care careers available at Randolph Hospital. “We’re excited about this year’s event and look forward to the children visiting the hospital,” says Deana Thomas, director of Education at Randolph Hospital. “It’s important for children to know that the hospital isn’t a scary place. The goal of this program is reduce the fear and anxiety in children in case they should have to come to the hospital.” This year’s event will consist of six stations: hand-washing, cardiopulmonary, diagnostic imaging, emergency room procedures and nutrition and exercise. In addition, a special station will include having “teddy bear blood” drawn for a laboratory test.

Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Steffani Brass, 18; John McEnroe, 51; Ice-T, 52; Levar Burton, 53 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: The more you speak about your plans, the better the response you will receive. This is a year to open up and let your thoughts be known so you can achieve the success you are looking for. Don’t let your uncertainty or the doubts of someone you are close to stand in the way of your progress. Your numbers are 6, 13, 26, 28, 33, 42, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Professional troubles will lead to greater problems with colleagues, peers or institutions you deal with. Stay centered and in control. Take positive action rather than yielding to frustration. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Not everyone will agree with your plans but, if you honestly are trying to help others, you will gain support. Your tendency to change your mind will leave you open to criticism. Your leadership qualities will make a lasting impression. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t allow anyone to take advantage of your enthusiasm or your skills. Only offer the time, talent and cash you feel comfortable contributing. If someone asks for more, be very clear what you expect in return. A relationship is likely to undergo changes. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Travel or reconnect with an old friend. Engage in any opportunity to learn something new that you may be able to use to earn more money. A move or making alterations to your home will help to stabilize your position. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t let a few minor changes throw your schedule and plans for a loop. Proactive, positive action will help you stay on track. Take the path that suits your needs, not someone else’s. Speak your mind but with diplomacy. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Unexpected change where a settlement, financial deal or legal contract is concerned is apparent. You will have to be openminded if you are going to move forward with your current plans. Don’t let uncertainty be your downfall. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Someone may try to take advantage of your skills if you are too easygoing or willing to lend a hand. If you don’t say no, you will not have time to finish your own pursuits. Make positive changes at home and alleviate pressure. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It will take determination and will-power to outmaneuver someone who is working against you. Now is not the time to let others see your weaknesses. Put time aside for love and romance late in the day. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t count on anything or anyone. Just when you think you have everything all worked out, you will be thrown a curve ball that will send you spinning. Stay calm, watch what everyone else is doing and think before you speak. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are usually tied to routine but, by shaking things up a little, you can ensure that you stay in control. An unusual connection to your past will renew some of your thoughts regarding the goals you want to achieve this year. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Let the past go so that you can move forward. You are only fooling yourself if you continue to spin your wheels and do nothing that encourages better prospects in the future. Don’t get angry with the people trying to help you. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A creative idea you put to rest should be reinstated. Approach someone with experience and knowledge to pull off the type of engaging project you want to pursue. If your intentions are honorable, you can start anew. ★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush – and is much safer than three flying overhead. If you’re declarer at four hearts, as in today’s deal, don’t jeopardize 10 tricks by trying for more. South won the second spade and took the A-K of clubs to discard his last spade. He next led a diamond to his jack, and West took the queen and led another spade. South ruffed, cashed the A-K of trumps and led a second diamond to his ten. Alas, West won and returned a diamond, and East ruffed. Down one.

HIGH CLUBS South grumbled about bad luck, but he had 10 tricks in the palm of his hand: five trumps, a spade, two clubs, a diamond and a diamond ruff in dummy. After South wins the second spade and discards on the high clubs (to win the first spade would be safer), he must lead the ace and a low diamond. West wins and shifts to a trump, but South wins and concedes another diamond. He wins the next trump and ruffs his last diamond with the king of trumps, assuring the contract.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A 4 2 H A Q J 10 9 D A J 10 8 C 8. Your partner opens one spade, you bid two hearts and he rebids two spades. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: Slam is probable if partner has features such as the king of hearts, ace of clubs and good trumps. To consult him, bid three diamonds, planning to bid four spades next.

McMurray’s victory seals the deal

he way Jamie McMurray’s racing career started wasn’t exactly the same as former driver Rick Mast trading a cow for his first race car. But it was close. “My dad raced – a lot of drag racing, quite a bit on dirt tracks, a little bit on asphalt,” said McMurray, who grew up in Missouri. “He also likes to buy and sell stuff. That is his hobby. He sold a stock SPORTS car. The guy didn’t have Greer enough cash, Smith so my dad saw ■■■ that the guy had a go-cart and took it for the difference. He started riding the go-cart and we started doing it as a family.” Jamie began racing the go-cart and then went on to compete in modifieds and late models around the state of Missouri. Like a lot of young drivers, he dreamed of one day winning the Daytona 500. Given a second chance in a couple of different ways, McMurray realized the dream and then in the thrill of the moment twice became emotional thinking about his father, who had left the race early. “It would have been great for him to be here and share it with me,” McMurray said in the Daytona International Speedway media center. “But he comes to a lot of races. We eat lunch every day. We ride go-carts. When I go fishing, I go with him. That’s who I hang out with. We’ve shared some great times together.” McMurray was quick to point out he wasn’t upset because his father, Jim, wasn’t around to share the moment. “It’s not that big of a deal he wasn’t in Victory Lane with me,” McMurray said. “I almost kind of laugh at it because he’s fired up that he left. I got something to yell at him about. So it’s good stuff.” For a time last fall after he learned he wouldn’t be returning to Roush Fenway Racing for this season, there was doubt he would be in Cup this season. Fortunately for McMurray, car owner Chip Ganassi didn’t hold a grudge. McMurray drove for Ganassi from 2002-2005, a stint that got off to an incredible start when he won the fall race at Charlotte in just his second outing after replacing injured Sterling Marlin. McMurray never won for Ganassi again and left in 2006 to drive for Jack Roush. After just missing the Chase for the Championship in 2004 and 2005 with Ganassi,

McMurray was looked upon as a possible Chase contender. But things never clicked, other than McMurray victories in July of 2007 and last October at Talladega that enhanced his reputation as a good restrictor-plate racer. Producing no better than the fourth-best numbers in Roush’s five-driver stable, McMurray became the oddman out when Roush had to jettison one team to comply with NASCAR’s four-team maximum this year. Ganassi, who merged with Dale Earnhardt Inc. last year, provided a career preserver. “It was just a matter of getting the best guy available,” Ganassi said. “We didn’t have an acrimonious split or anything when he left. It was the smart thing to do.” Going back to Ganassi was like old home week for McMurray. “It was a very warm welcome when I got to the shop,” McMurray said. “It was everybody from the guys in the fab shop to the accountants. Everywhere throughout the shop, I’m comfortable. I think that is what made the transition back easier.” The transition may have been easy, but McMurray needed the other second chance – in the form of the first application of a NASCAR rule change permitting three attempts at a green-flag finish – to get his second stint with Ganassi off to a winning start. Kevin Harvick would have been the winner if the race had ended after the first attempt because he was leading when Elliott Sadler and Kasey Kahne wrecked in the end of a bad day for Richard Petty Motorsports. The second restart allowed McMurray to show more muscle than he had displayed all night as he blew past Harvick and held off Dale Earnhardt Jr. – whose departure from DEI two years ago helped lead to its merger with Ganassi. It was the only time McMurray led all night. “Chip asked me under one of the red flags (to fix the pothole) what I thought of the car,” McMurray said. “I told him we’d find out when it was time to go. ... When it comes down to last few laps, it is not that way. Then you find out who has a good car.” It was good enough for McMurray to make Ganassi a Daytona 500 winner in addition to the Indianapolis 500 and 24 Hours of Daytona. That’s a long way from a deal for a go-cart. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

High Point Central graduate Heather Richardson takes to the ice today in the first of her three events at the Vancouver Olympics. Today at 4 p.m. Eastern, the first races in the 500-meter longtrack speedskating will take place. The second-round runs, with cumulative times deciding the gold medal, open at 5:52. NBC, showing coverage on numerous networks, will not air the speedskating live. Replays of the 500 will be shown during the 8 p.m. to midnight window on WXII Channel 12 along with men’s figure skating and snowboarding. Richardson competes again Thursday at 4 p.m. – STEVE HANF

Heather Richardson

few Olympic points to ponder while waiting for High Point’s Heather Richardson’s first sprint at gold in the women’s 500-meter long-track speedskating event today: •The Canadian women’s ice hockey team proved a rude host in its Group A opener. Canada crushed Slovakia 18-0. I realize goals for and goals against are factors in determining who makes the medal round. But an 18-0 beatdown hardly strikes

Dean leads Panthers BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HPU MEN TONIGHT

HIGH POINT – Two teams running in the wrong direction traded runs with each other Monday night. The final sprint belonged to the High Point University women. LaTeisha Dean tied a career high with 20 points to lead five scorers in double figures and Mackenzie Maier blocked seven shots in a game for the seventh time in her career as the Panthers topped Radford 88-74. The big scoring night before a crowd of 619 at the Millis Center marked the most points this season for High Point, now 14-11 overall and 7-5 in the Big South Conference. “It felt great. That’s all we were looking forward to, ending that fourgame losing streak,” Dean said. “The biggest thing is we never gave up. Even though we did have some breakdowns at times, we got back up and came right back at them.” Dean delivered the biggest counterpunch. After High Point used a 10-3 run to open the second half for a 52-42 lead, Radford rallied with an 11-0 run. The Highlanders (5-17, 4-7) stayed on top for all of 17 seconds before Dean took a swing pass from Amy Dodd and buried a 3-pointer at the 10:36 mark. A fastbreak layup by Frances Fields and jumper by Dean pushed the lead to six points, and Radford only got within three one more time on the way to its sixth straight loss. “I really thought that’s the kind of win we needed,” Panthers coach Tooey Loy said. “The other team was really playing well, they took a lead. But we didn’t hang our head one bit. We battled right back.” Jurica Hargraves finished with 15 points and Fields added 12 in the backcourt, while Ashlee’ Samuels and Shamia Brown powered for 10 each in the paint. Dodd added eight points,

WHEN: 7 p.m. RADIO: Country Legends 98.3 FM AUDIO: http://www.HighPointPanthers.com while Maier collected seven points, seven rebounds and five assists to go with her seven rejections. For the first time all season, HPU started a game with both Maier and Fields on the bench. “We were just trying to shake things up,” Loy said. “The message to the team was we’re going to keep fighting, keep trying new stuff until we get back to how we’re playing. I wouldn’t say we came out incredibly well, but bringing Mackenzie and Frances off the bench was a great spark.” Freshmen Laura Whitt and Jazmin Cromartie also played extensive minutes in the first half, which saw HPU lead by as many as seven before settling for a 42-39 edge at the break. Radford got career-highs of 24 points from both Kymesha Alston and Da’Naria Erwin Spencer, but the Highlanders committed 21 turnovers and went just 12-for-21 at the foul line. HPU shot 25-for-31. The Panthers continue a four-game homestand Saturday at 4 p.m. against UNC Asheville. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

me as the embodiment of the Olympic spirit. I imagine 17-0 would have been good enough, eh? •I’m more convinced than ever short-track speedskating comes the closest to capturing the rough-and-tumble, rubbin’-is-racin’ spirit of NASCAR short-track action. That was evident in the first men’s goldmedal final, the 1,500 meters. South Korea was moments away from sweeping the medals when teammates Sung Si-bak and Lee

Ho-suk took each other out on the final turn. That opened the door for America’s Apolo Anton Ohno to take the silver and J.R. Celski of the USA to secure bronze. Ohno owns six medals in three Olympics – more than any other short-track skater. And he has several more chances to pad that total. This sport would make Cole Trickle and Harry Hogge proud. Enjoy the Games and good luck Heather!

Monday at a glance Developments Monday, Day 4 of the Vancouver Winter Olympics: MEDAL FOR MILLER: Bode Miller broke his personal streak of major championship failures by taking the bronze in the downhill. The American had won two silvers at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games and a full load of world championship medals before he went bust in Turin four years ago. COMEBACK: American Seth Wescott came out of nowhere to overtake Canadian Mike Robertson and win his second straight snowboardcross gold medal. Wescott had injured his leg and pelvis two months ago and couldn’t walk for two weeks. SWISS SUCCESS: Three medals for Switzerland, all gold: Didier Defago won the Alpine downhill, breaking a two-decade Swiss drought. On the same day, Dario Cologna won the men’s 15-kilometer freestyle cross-country race. On Saturday, Swiss ski jumper Simon Ammann won the first gold awarded in Vancouver. THE JOURNEY HOME: A candlelit memorial service was held for Georgian athlete Nodar Kumaritashvili, who was killed in a luge crash, and the head of the Vancouver Games helped carry the casket from a funeral home to a waiting hearse.

Bode Miller of the United States speeds down the course during the men’s downhill at the Vancouver Olympics in Whistler, British Columbia on Monday. Miller captured the bronze medal – his third medal in Olympic competition.

Great Olympic comebacks by Wescott, Miller, Vonn THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Comebacks make for great Olympics stories, and they come in many forms. Just look at what Seth Wescott, Bode Miller and Lindsey Vonn pulled off Monday. Wescott came to the Winter Olympics as the reigning champion in snowboardcross, yet also as damaged goods. He hurt his leg and pelvis two months ago and it showed in the races since. He opened Monday’s event by finishing 17th of the 32 riders in qualifying, but found his stride to reach the finals. Then he found himself way back with five jumps left – only to make it up with a thrilling finish that snatched a gold from the host country. Miller is America’s most decorated Alpine skier and the guy who let everyone down in 2006, failing to finish higher than fifth. He didn’t earn a medal at the two world championships since then and considered retiring before deciding to give the Olympics one more try. After several days of weather delays, he was one of the first guys down the mountain. The result: a terrific

time good enough for bronze, just nine-hundredths of a second behind the winner and only the thirdever downhill medal for the United States. Vonn was the headliner coming into Vancouver, then all the hype seemed for naught when she revealed a shin injury that made it painful to even wear a ski boot. But the bad weather was a blessing for her recovery and in her first training run early Monday, on the upper section of the course, she had the fastest time in the field. With Wescott’s in-race rally and Miller’s career redemption, the United States upped its medal collection to eight, double any other country. Americans have won two golds, topped only by Switzerland’s three.

a second doesn’t bother me.” The only other Americans to win a medal in the event were golds by Tommy Moe in 1994 and Bill Johnson in ’84. Miller won silver medals in the giant slalom and the combined events in 2002.

VONN EXCELS IN TRAINING The most important thing about Vonn’s training run wasn’t her time. It was simply finishing, which fulfilled the requirement of running the course on the same day at least once. With a starting spot waiting for her, Vonn will turn her attention to being there. The race is scheduled for Wednesday and there’s another training session today, although she’s eligible to skip it.

SNOWBOARDCROSS MEN’S DOWNHILL Miller’s nine-hundredths of a second behind winner Didier Defago of Switzerland was the smallest margin between gold and bronze in the history of an event that began in 1948. “It’s such a relief to get a medal,” Miller said. “The fact that those other guys beat me to the hundredth of

When Wescott crossed the finish line ahead of Canada’s Mike Robertson, fans gasped and cheered while the 33-year-old champion fell to the ground, exhausted and exhilarated. Tony Ramoin of France won the bronze. American Nate Holland, a five-time Winter X Games champ, spun out early in the final foursome.

CHAPEL HILL – North Carolina’s John Henson was rated the No. 1 power forward by Scout.com coming out of high school a year ago. Yet until a few weeks ago, Henson had seen little time at that position during his first year of college ball. The freshman, who is listed at 6-10 and 195 pounds, had been backing up Will Graves at the three spot and had struggled at the perimeter position for much of the season. But four games ago, UNC coach Roy Williams decided to try and work Henson down low a bit more and the results have been promising. Henson averaged 3 points and 2.3 rebounds in 10.5 minutes through the first 21 games of the season. Since that Virginia Tech game when the switch was made, he has averaged 8.3 points and 5.3 rebounds in 19 minutes. And with three forwards – Tyler Zeller, Ed Davis and Travis Wear – still expected to be out with injuries for tonight’s game at Georgia Tech (9 p.m., WMYV, My48), Henson should see even more minutes in the post. “We started playing him a little more at the four trying to see if we could get more out of him that way,” Williams said. “So that’s been a move that has been helpful.” Henson said he did not ask to move down low, but Williams approached him about getting some time at power forward before the injuries to Wear and Davis. Since those two were injured within two days of each other, the Tar Heels (14-11, 3-7 ACC) now need Henson inside since they don’t have much size otherwise. The freshman has seen his minutes increase from 16 against Maryland on Feb. 7 to 20 against Duke on Wednesday to 26 against N.C. State on Saturday. He also combined for eight blocks in those games. “He is such a force inside because of his length,” Williams said. “He’s got to get a heck of a lot stronger and finish plays.” And for Henson to get stronger, he knows he needs to put on weight. The freshman does not have much bulk and easily gets pushed around inside by players such as Georgia Tech freshman Derrick Favors, who at 6-10 and 246 pound was rated the No. 1 center by Scout.com. The Yellow Jackets (17-8, 5-6), who are coming off a 75-64 loss at Wake Forest on Saturday, have one of the most physical frontcourts in the ACC. Forward Gani Lawal is averaging 14.2 points and 9.4 rebounds, which is third in the conference, and Favors is averaging 8.1 rebounds and 11 points. And then there’s guard Iman Shumpert, who went off for 30 points in the Yellow Jackets’ 73-71 victory on Jan. 16 at the Smith Center. Shumpert played with a virus in Saturday’s game but was back at practice Monday and is expected to play tonight. UNC is coming off a victory over N.C. State on Saturday, and the Tar Heels are hoping to use that momentum to secure back-to-back wins for the first time since the end of December.

Duke’s Scheyer, FSU’s Snaer earn ACC honors GREENSBORO (AP) – Duke’s Jon Scheyer is the Atlantic Coast Conference player of the week while Florida State’s Michael Snaer is the league’s rookie of the week. Scheyer won the award for the third time this season after leading the Blue Devils to wins

against North Carolina and Maryland. The senior averaged 23 points and shot 62 percent from 3-point range in the games. Snaer averaged 14 points and three rebounds as the Seminoles split league games against Boston College and Clemson.

Jerry Jones and Mark Cuban really put on a fabulous event.â&#x20AC;? The crowd of 108,713, packed with the usual celebrities the NBA All-Star game always attracts, watched Dallas native Chris Bosh make the winning free throws with 5 seconds left. The West had a chance to win it, but Carmelo Anthonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-point attempt came up short. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be in front of 108,000 fans, that was actually what it was, that was not a false number. You could look up in the stands, and there was not a seat open,â&#x20AC;? James said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be part of history is something that you always wish and dream for.â&#x20AC;? Wade had 28 points and won MVP honors, just as he did after leading Miami to victory in the 2006 NBA finals in nearby Dallas. He added 11 assists, six rebounds and five steals. James had 25 points, and Bosh had 23 points and 10 rebounds. Anthony scored 27 points, and Dirk Nowitzki â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who Kobe Bryant had predicted would win MVP honors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had 22. The star in this one, though, was the building.

Chris Mooney and the Richmond Spiders set a bunch of goals before the season, including an Atlantic 10 regularseason title and their first NCAA tournament bid in six years. After two road victories last week moved the Spiders into first place in the conference, they accomplished another goal Monday: making the Top 25 for the first time in 24 years. In a week when Kansas State climbed to No. 7, its highest ranking in nearly five decades, the Spiders joined the AP poll at No. 25 for the first time since January 1986. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the fourth time in school history the small, private school has been in the poll. The Spiders (20-6, 9-2) host Fordham (2-21, 0-11) on Wednesday night. Kansas (24-1) was again a runaway No. 1, receiving 62 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel to hold the top spot for the third week in a row. Kentucky (24-1) moved up one spot to No. 2. Villanova moved up one place to No. 3. Duke jumped from eighth to sixth.

Oil industry remains cautious on future LONDON – The oil industry expects a difficult road ahead as it struggles to recover from the global economic downturn and is forced to juggle rising demand from developing countries against requirements for cleaner energy. Oil executives and analysts meeting in London on Monday said the industry was at a crossroads as it emerges out of a rout that sent crude prices tumbling from a record high of $150 in July 2008 to under $40 a barrel at the peak of the financial turmoil. BP PLC chief economist Christof Ruehl said consolidation was likely in the refining sector after oil companies reported billion dollar losses at the end of last year amid falling demand.

Complaints of Toyota deaths mount WASHINGTON (AP) — The government has received new complaints that bring to 34 the total number of alleged deaths in Toyota vehicles due to sudden acceleration since 2000, according to government data posted Monday. The government has received complaints during the past three weeks alleging 13 deaths. The deaths allegedly tied to this problem happened in nine crashes between 2005 and 2010.

From 2000 to 2009, complaints alleging 21 deaths in Toyota vehicles had been filed with the government. Toyota Motor Corp. has recalled 8.5 million vehicles globally during the past four months because of problems with gas pedals, floor mats and brakes, threatening the safety and quality reputation of the world’s No. 1 automaker. The government typically receives a surge in complaints following a

recall. None has yet been verified. The new complaints reflect the heightened awareness of the massive recall among the public and underscore a flurry of lawsuits on behalf of drivers alleging deaths and injuries in Toyota crashes. Three congressional hearings are planned on the Toyota recalls. The database also shows new complaints filed over the 2010 Prius gas-electric hybrid, which was recalled last week to replace

braking software. When the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened its investigation of Prius on Feb. 3, the government had received 124 consumer complaints. Through Feb. 11, the government has received nearly 1,000 new complaints for a total of 1,120 complaints alleging 34 crashes, six injuries and no deaths. Transportation Department spokeswoman Olivia Alair said in a statement it was “normal for

Russian industrial output up 7.8 % MOSCOW – Industrial output in Russia rose by 7.9 percent in January from a year ago as the country’s economy recovers from recession, the Federal Statistics Service said Monday. The January figure marks the highest yearon-year rise in industrial production since the global downturn hit the country.

European markets rise despite debt LONDON – European stock markets won some respite Monday ahead of a meeting of eurozone finance ministers in Brussels, where the Greek debt crisis will inevitably top the agenda. Public holidays in Asia as well as the U.S. have kept volumes low. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares closed up 25.02 points, or 0.5 percent, at 5,167.47 while Germany’s DAX rose 10.71 points, or 0.2 percent, at 5,511.10. The CAC-40 in France was 11.27 points, or 0.3 percent, higher at 3,610.34.

Crude hovers above $74 on light trading NEW YORK – Oil prices hovered above $74 a barrel Monday, supported by strong economic growth in Japan but held in check by a stronger dollar. Trading volume was light, however, due to holidays in Asia and the United States. By mid-afternoon in Europe, benchmark crude for March delivery was up 13 cents at $74.26 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

NHTSA to receive an increase in consumer complaints after a recall is announced and the public learns of a safety defect.” Alair said NHTSA takes every complaint seriously and is quickly gathering data on additional complaints “to help guide our examination of sudden acceleration, the Prius braking system, as well as other safety issues.” Toyota officials did not immediately respond to the death allegations.

Greece calls for bailout plan BRUSSELS (AP) — Greece’s finance minister said a detailed rescue plan from other eurozone nations would be the best way to soothe the crisis over market fears that Greece could default on debt payments. Eurozone nations pledged last week to aid Greece “if needed to guard financial stability in the euro area” — but did not say how they would help the country. Greece’s debt problem has shaken the entire euro zone and un-

dermined the shared currency. “My guess is that what will stop markets attacking Greece at the moment is a further more explicit message that makes operational what has been decided last Thursday,” at a meeting of EU leaders, Greek Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou said. Market worries of a default have hiked the cost of Greek government borrowing in recent months and caused the euro to

slide to a near nine-month low against the dollar. Papaconstantinou said the 16 countries that use the euro need to go beyond that to “work out a mechanism so that if necessary the mechanism will be there” for any member that cannot pay its debts. “I think this is the logical way of addressing the issue,” he told an audience of European Union policy makers at a European Policy Centre think-tank event in Brussels.

However, Papaconstantinou said last week’s statement was a “watershed” because it showed that “in the eurozone, no one country is alone and when it comes down to it they stick together.” He blamed financial markets for exaggerating Greece’s debt worries, saying Greece’s economic output is just over 2 percent of the euro area’s and a default “would not ... create a problem for the euro area.”

Microsoft looks to Zune for phone comeback BARCELONA, Spain (AP) – Apple Inc. rocked the wireless business by combining the functions of a phone and an iPod. Now, more than two years later, Microsoft Corp. has its comeback: phone software that works a lot like its own Zune media player. The software, which was unveiled Monday at the Mobile World Congress, is a dramatic change from previous generations of the software that used to be called Windows Mobile. But Microsoft is, for now, sticking to its

model of making the software and selling it to phone manufacturers, rather than making its own phones. Microsoft’s mobile system powered 13.1 percent of smart phones sold in the U.S. last year, according to research firm In-Stat. That made it No. 3 after Research In Motion Ltd.’s BlackBerry and the iPhone. But Microsoft has been losing market share while Apple and Google Inc.’s Android gained. All the while, the market is becoming increasingly important. People are

spending more and more time on their phones, and the devices steer people to potentially lucrative Web services and ads. Phones with the new software will be on the market by the holidays, Microsoft said. All four major U.S. carriers will offer phones, just as they sell current Windows phones. The new ones won’t be called “Zune phones,” as had been speculated. The software will be called “Windows Phone 7 series.” Forrester Research analyst Charles Golvin said the

new software looked promising, but that it was also Microsoft’s “final chance to get it right.” He notes that those who have current Windows phones don’t seem excited about the brand – many of them believe their phones are made by Apple or Nokia Corp., according to his firm’s research. Andy Lees, senior vice president of Microsoft’s mobile communications business, said Windows Mobile suffered from the company’s chaotic approach to the market.

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s not the signal it used to be. When employers hire temporary staff after a recession, it’s long been seen as a sign they’ll soon hire permanent workers. Not these days. Companies have hired more temps for four straight months. Yet they remain reluctant to make permanent hires because of doubts about the recovery’s durability. Even companies that are boosting production seem inclined to get by with their existing workers, plus temporary staff if necessary. “I think temporary hiring is less useful a signal than it used to be,” says John Silvia, chief economist at Wells Fargo. “Companies aren’t testing the waters by turning to temporary firms. They just want part-time workers.”

Saudis gear for peak oil demand JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — A top Saudi energy official expressed serious concern Monday that world oil demand could peak in the next decade and said his country was preparing for that eventuality by diversifying its economic base. Mohammed al-Sabban, lead climate talks negotiator, said the country with the world’s largest proven reserves of conventional crude is working to become the top exporter of energy, including alternative forms such as solar power.

ConAgra internships earn praise OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — ConAgra Foods offers one of the nation’s best internship programs, according to BusinessWeek magazine. The publication recently said ConAgra offers one of the top 40 undergraduate internships.

The magazine says the Omaha-based company filled more than half of its entry-level openings in 2009 with former interns. And ConAgra hired 89 interns in 2009. ConAgra Vice President Tim Jones says the company lets in-

terns take on meaningful projects during their internships. That helps the interns gain experience and helps the company, which makes Chef Boyardee, Healthy Choice, Banquet and many other branded food products.

Ron Opalecky, an assistant fire marshal in Cicero, told reporters Monday that fire officials believe the blaze started in the rear of the home, which had several two- and threebedroom apartments.

Emergency crews attend to the scene of the partially collapsed roof of the Rostraver Ice Garden on Sunday afternoon in Rostraver, Pa.

Snow likely a factor in ice rink collapse in Pennsylvania ROSTRAVER, Pa. (AP) – Heavy snow buildup from recent storms likely contributed to the collapse of an ice rink roof, causing a panicked evacuation but no injuries, a fire official and the building’s owner said. “We believe it was excessive weight from the copious quantities of snow that we’ve had over the past 10 days,” Jim Murphy, who has owned the Rostraver Ice Garden since 1993, said Monday. “We believe a laminated wood truss broke and that caused two other ones to go and the roof to pancake in that area.”

The region has gotten more than two feet of snow in the past week and a half. Justin Shawley, assistant chief of the Rostraver Central Volunteer Fire Company, also said snow and ice buildup may have contributed to the collapse. A 100-foot-by-200-foot roof section fell in during a youth hockey tournament Sunday afternoon. The teams were in the locker room and only one person, a rink worker, was on the ice. The worker heard a crack and told people to get out of the building, Shawley said. About 100 people inside the rink bolted for the exits.

There were reports of people unaccounted for amid the post-collapse confusion, but authorities searched the building with cadaver dogs and thermal-imaging cameras before declaring that no one was missing. Murphy could not immediately estimate the cost of the damage. He said he hoped to have heat and electricity turned on so pipes would not freeze. The rink, about 30 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, is in the middle of facility, which was built in 1965, and is flanked by a banquet hall on one side and a pub on the other.

snowstorm Friday and Saturday that was blamed for hundreds of traffic accidents. Forecasters had warned another 2 inches of snow could fall early Monday, but overnight temperatures stayed above freezing and it rained instead. Snow fell in parts of Alabama and the National Weather Service said northern Alabama could see up to 3 inches. Numerous crashes were reported before dawn Monday in the Nashville area. The Tennessee Department of Transportation reported highways were snow-covered and slippery across much of the state. Memphis reported about a half-inch of snow as did Nashville. A winter weather advisory was in effect until 6 p.m. Monday for Middle Tennessee and until 6 a.m. today for East Tennessee.
