Firefighters are seen outside the scene of a Sunday morning fire at Hunter’s Point Apartments, which are located off Shadow Valley Road.

Two injured, sent to hospital in Sunday morning blaze BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Two people were sent to a hospital with injuries after a fire broke out on Sunday morning at an apartment

complex in High Point. The High Point Fire Department responded to a two-alarm fire at Hunter’s Point Apartments, off Shadow Valley Road, after a 911 call was placed at 5:06 a.m., according to Capt.

Denita Lynch, public information officer with the fire department. Residents of the 12 apartments in building 2225 at the complex were evacuated. Lynch said the injuries of the two victims “appeared to be minor.” She said that the building contained a “heavy fire” that was partially prevented from spreading by a fire wall. The fire was extinguished within

hours after firefighters arrived. The cause of the fire still is undetermined, and the investigation continues. “We still don’t know how it started,” she said. “The fire marshal is attempting to conduct an investigation, but the structure isn’t safe at this time. We’ll be talking to residents and witnesses now.” The Red Cross was notified and is assisting resi-

dents displaced by the fire. The apartment complex is also assisting in relocating some of the victims, Lynch said. Residents in neighboring buildings 2223 and 2221 were allowed to remain at the complex, though some minor damage such as water leaks had occurred in the 2223 building due to the fire. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Money crunch hampers Thomasville sewer fixes BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – With the Chair City’s bill continuing to escalate for last summer’s sewer spill, Thomasville officials are uncertain exactly how they will pay for the rest of the city’s immediate needs to fix its sewer collection system. Last week, the City Council 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 millions gallons of sewage. The cost of the repair to the collector line brings Thomasville’s cost for the sewer spill to nearly

$700,000, including fines and engineering fees. The city had previously received a list of $2.3 million in projects, which includes repairs to the Baptist Children’s Home collector line, in a report prepared by Pease and Associates Consulting Engineers. “I would say the final verdict is still out on how we will pay for these updates and upgrades that we are going to have to do to the infrastructure, depending on whether it’s going to be done with borrowed money or grants,” said Councilman Raleigh York Jr., chairman of the city’s Personnel/ Finance Committee. According to York, the city used money from its water and sewer

capital reserve fund, which a previous council established several years ago, to pay for repairs to the Baptist Children’s Home collector line. The rest of city’s sewer bill was paid out of the city’s water and sewer fund. “If a previous council hadn’t had the foresight to start this fund, then we probably wouldn’t have had this money at this time,” York said. “We were very fortunate that we had the money on hand to take care of that need. However, we have other needs with a couple of other pump stations and some other lines in town. All of this, I guess, was brought to light with the sewer spill and an evaluation being taken of our total infra-

structure in the water and sewer department.” Tony Jarrett, the city’s finance director, said the city’s other operating expenses, except for the water and sewer fund, are expected to break even by the end of the budget year. He said the city is looking at grants and low-interest loans for other needs of the city’s sewer collection system. “I’m most concerned and disappointed in the performance of the water and sewer (fund),” Jarrett said. “I had kinda hoped we would be doing better, but the sewer spill was not within our control. We have to repair it. It’s the right thing for us to do.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

City makes headway in lead removal BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – City officials said they’re making progress, but their work is far from done on a major initiative to help residents whose homes contain lead-based paint hazards. Contractors have completed work to eliminate or control lead hazards in 59 housing units in the city thanks to a $3 million federal grant that took effect in April 2009. The goal of the grant is to do this type of work at 229 units occupied by families with children younger than 6 by September 2011. The other main part of the grant involves free screenings for lead poisoning for children. “We’re trying to remediate houses and trying to increase screenings,” said Mike McNair, director of High Point’s Community Development & Housing Department, which administers the grant. “We’re not trying to alarm anybody, but if you have a child under 6 years old and your home was built before 1978, or your child goes to a day care (built before 1978), you might want to get them tested.” The city so far has spent about $661,000 of the grant, combined with about $108,000 in stimulus

funds, on the project. High Point has around 23,000 dwelling units built before 1978, when lead-based paint was outlawed. The most common way children ingest the substance is through lead dust created by the friction of windows and doors opening and closing. “It’s mostly hand-to-mouth activity,” said Ed Brown, project manager for the department. “We’ve been fixing a lot of porch rails where kids play.” To a lesser extent, repair crews have seen problems related to exterior paint, including one apartment complex where the soil outside the building had elevated lead levels. The grant also has funded an environmental health specialist dedicated to High Point. In addition, a community outreach initiative known as Lead Safe High Point has been launched to monitor progress and raise awareness about the program. Children who are chronically exposed to lead-based paint dust or chips can be susceptible to learning and behavioral problems. Symptoms of lead poisoning are difficult to detect until a child is seriously poisoned. All children in Guilford County under age 6 are required by county

The Guilford County Public Health Department offers free blood lead testing for High Point children under the age of 6 at 501 E. Green Drive in High Point. No appointment is required. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., except for noon to 1 p.m. Renters or owners of properties who think they may qualify for the lead-based paint hazard control grant program should contact the city of High Point’s Commmunity Development & Housing Department at 883-3349. Grant assistance is awarded based on several criteria. The program is available citywide but generally targets low- to moderate-income families in neighborhoods where current data indicates a higher concentration of children with blood lead poisoning, such as parts of Montlieu Avenue, Five Points, Washington Drive, East Central, Macedonia, West End, Southside, Highland Mills, Ward Avenue and S. Main Street.

ordinance to be tested for lead in their blood prior to entering any state approved or licensed child care facilities, child care home, preschool, nursery school, elementary school or other child care facilities.

New junction will make it easier for motorists in place at the nearby existing interchange, will make it easier for motorists to turn left from Deep River onto Eastchester and from Eastchester onto Deep River, said Mark McDonald, city transportation director. The new section of Deep River should open by December, he said. The project, funded through the federal stimulus, will cost $1.5 million, according to N.C. Department of Transportation figures. The new interchange, near Deep River Church of Christ, will be 1,400 feet from the existing one. The interchange will include left- and right-turn lanes on Deep River at the Eastchester traffic signal, McDonald said. The new section of Deep River Road will cut off to the west of the existing road just beyond the Sunset Hollow residential development across from First Christian Church Ministries of High Point.

– That would mean that the home predates Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest. That home was built in the 1820s near Lynchburg, Va., and is considered to be the first octagonal house in the U.S. The director of archaeological restoration at Poplar Forest says he questions whether the find in South Carolina is a fullsize home.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT US The High Point Enterprise

All existing driveways and entry points into Deep River will be maintained, McDonald said. The intersection of Willard Dairy Road and Deep River Road also will be shifted because of the interchange relocation. The new interchange for Deep River and Eastchester was part of a city bond issue six years ago. The use of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding would permit the city to free up city bond money originally intended for Deep River for another project, such as the extension of Hartley Drive in northwest High Point, McDonald said. “When the stimulus came out a year ago, this was the closest project we had to being shovel-ready. The amount that the stimulus frees up is going to be a big help getting Hartley done,” he said.

All that’s left now are four shuttle flights to stock the International Space Station with more experiments, spare parts and supplies. Discovery will make the next trip in early April. NASA plans on wrapping up the shuttle program this fall, after which the space station will be supplied by craft from Russia, Europe and Japan. The Obama Administration is proposing that commercial rocket companies take a crack at the U.S. ferry side of it, once the three remaining shuttles are retired.

ABC board under fire for contracts WILMINGTON (AP) – A North Carolina county’s alcohol board hired the same contractor to build all four liquor stores since 2004 and the final price tags for those structures was often well above the contract bids, a newspaper reported Sunday. Outgoing New Hanover County Alcoholic Beverage Control administrator Billy Williams told the StarNews that he did nothing wrong when he signed off on changes that doubled and tripled the contracts’ value. Contractor Lee F. Cowper Inc.’s attorney also said his client did nothing wrong. Others told the newspaper the practice of taking bids on a store shell then later allowing the same contractor to finish the building without going through another bidding process was unusual. The StarNews investigation found that construction contracts for three of the stores built since 2004 were approved by Williams, but never formally approved by the ABC board as required by state bidding laws. All the change orders also were approved by Williams only. The newspaper reported many records, specifically bid documents for

three of the stores, were not retained mentation does beg the question.� Williams referred questions to the inas required by state law. “The ABC board appeared to have re- terim ABC board that was appointed in lied upon their administrator to make January after the former board resigned. Cowper’s attorney, Grady Richardson, said in a statement to the newspaper that the company bid on the same specifications as everyone else. “Cowper has an impeccable reputation that it has earned over the past three decades in the construction industry,� Richardson said. “Cowper has done absolutely nothing improper.� Overall, Cowper was awarded $1.6 million in contracts but supervised $5 million worth of work, records show. It was unclear how much of that $5 million was kept by Cowper and how much went to subcontractors and Richardson would not provide that information. “This situation just seemed like it was a little bit outside that normal decisions about the construction of set of procedures,� said Ned R.

Be wise and listen to Tea Party rumblings Kristine Kaiser’s attempt to castigate the Tea Party Movement imploded into a pile of liberal rubbish. In her column of Feb. 13, in the Enterprise, Kaiser painted concerned American citizens (ie. Tea party activists) as a little more than “Chicken Little” wannabees. Personally, I do agree there’s no need to exhort that the sky is falling! Anyone with half a brain of the “tasty clucker” already knows it! Kaiser’s carefully laid smokescreen and slight of hand journalism only emulated the treatment that concerned fiscal conservatives received at town hall meetings last fall. The pernicious treatment of American citizens at the hands of “tone deaf Democrat ideologues” has resonated and will continue to resonate at the ballot box all across this nation. Her condescending analysis of truly concerned Americans only makes them dig their heels in deeper. The drollery exhibited in her comparison of Tea Party activists to lonely TV hugging, couch potatoes, speaks volumes to either her ignorance or arrogance of the real state of the union! Kaiser, like many, continues to make excuses and skirt responsibility for the failed economic policies of President Obama. It’s always the fault of the prince of darkness, George Bush, that continue to plague us. But didn’t the Democrats control Congress for the past several years? Wasn’t Obama part of that congressional oversight? Shouldn’t Obama and others accept responsibility for enabling the “High Rolling Bush” to get us to this crossroads of chaos? Also, shouldn’t Obama explain why he has surrounded himself with self-avowed communists, social radicals and anti-capitalists? These types of appointments are not acceptable to a majority of Americans. Either he shares the views of these revolutionary loonies or he is extremely naive!

Kaiser, like many, continues to make excuses and skirt responsibility for the failed economic policies of President Obama.

ing Christians wake up and begin to send some real Christians up to Washington to represent us and our Christian nation. My thinking is that the move to do away with the restrictions would be a giant step on the road to hell. The Bible says the wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God. God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of this sin. Someone has said – if God lets us get by with it, that He would have to resurrect Sodom and apologize to them. You know the devil is a very present adversary who gives up on his ways. Remember how he gets his way, and how he got legalized alcohol in our cities and town, in our state and nation.

Facts are stubborn things, but they’re still facts

I

got an e-mail the other day that depressed me. It concerned a piece I recently did that mentioned Henry Johnson, who was awarded the French Croix de Guerre in World War I for singlehandedly fighting off a company of Germans (some accounts say there were 14, some say almost 30, the ones I find most authoritative say there were about two dozen) who threatened to overrun his post. Johnson managed this despite the fact that he was only 5-foot-4 and 130 pounds, despite the fact that his gun had jammed, despite the fact that he was wounded 21 times. My mention of Johnson’s heroics drew a rebuke from a fellow named Ken Thompson, which I quote verbatim and in its entirety: “Hate to tell you that blacks were not allowed into combat intell 1947, that fact. World War II ended in 1945. So all that feel good, one black man killing two dozen Nazi, is just that, PC bull.” In response, my assistant, Judi Smith, sent Mr. Thompson proof of Johnson’s heroics: a link to his page on the Web site of Arlington National Cemetery. She thought

this settled the matter. Thompson’s reply? “There is no race on headstones and they didn’t come up with the story in tell 2002.” OPINION Judi: “I guess you can choose to Leonard believe Arlington Pitts National Cemetery ■■■ or not.” Thompson: “It is what it is, you don’t believe either ...” At this point, Judi forwarded me their correspondence, along with a despairing note. She is probably somewhere drinking right now. You see, like me, she can remember a time when facts settled arguments. This is back before everything became a partisan shouting match, back before it was permissible to ignore or deride as “biased” anything that didn’t support your worldview. If you and I had an argument and I produced facts from an authoritative source to back me up, you couldn’t just blow that off. You might try to undermine my

facts, might counter with facts of your own, but you couldn’t just pretend my facts had no weight or meaning. But that’s the intellectual state of the union these days, as evidenced by all the people who still don’t believe the president was born in Hawaii or that the planet is warming. And by Mr. Thompson, who doesn’t believe Henry Johnson did what he did. I could send him more proof, I suppose. Johnson is lauded in history books (”Before the Mayflower” by Lerone Bennett Jr., “The Dictionary of American Negro Biography” by Rayford Logan and Michael Winston) and in contemporaneous accounts (The Saturday Evening Post, the New York Times). I could also point out that blacks have fought in every war in American history, though before Harry Truman desegregated the military in 1948, they did so in Jim Crow units. Also, there were no Nazis in World War I. But those are “facts,” and the whole point here is that facts no longer mean what they once did. I suppose I could also ignore him. But you see, Ken Thompson is not just some isolated eccentric. No,

he is the Zeitgeist personified. To listen to talk radio, to watch TV pundits, to read a newspaper’s online message board, is to realize that increasingly, we are a people estranged from critical thinking, divorced from logic, alienated from even objective truth. We admit no ideas that do not confirm us, hear no voices that do not echo us, sift out all information that does not validate what we wish to believe. I submit that any people thus handicapped sow the seeds of their own decline; they respond to the world as they wish it were rather to the world as it is. That’s the story of the Iraq War. But objective reality does not change because you refuse to accept it. The fact that you refuse to acknowledge a wall does not change the fact that it’s a wall. And you shouldn’t have to hit it to find that out. LEONARD PITTS JR., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald. E-mail him at lpitts@miamiherald.com.

Portugal floods kill 42; some feared buried FUNCHAL, Madeira Islands – Rescue workers in Madeira dug through heaps of mud, boulders and debris Sunday, searching for victims buried by floods and mudslides that have killed at least 42 people on the popular Portuguese island. Residents looking for missing loved ones were directed by local authorities to the resort’s international airport, where a makeshift morgue has been set up. Social services spokesman Francisco Jardim Ramos said not all the bodies had been identified.

Brazil defends search efforts in shipwreck SAO PAULO – The Brazilian navy on Sunday defended its response to a shipwreck that left dozens of teenage students from around the world adrift on the ocean for two nights. The navy deployed a search aircraft about 19 hours after it received a distress signal from the SV Concordia on Wednesday, which officials say is in line with standard procedure. All 48 students and 16 crew members were safely rescued Friday, nearly 40 hours after the sailing ship capsized in the Atlantic.

Israel unveils drone fleet that can reach Iran TEL NOF AIR FORCE BASE, Israel – Israel’s air force on Sunday introduced a fleet of huge pilotless planes that can remain in the air for a full day and could fly as far as the Persian Gulf, putting rival Iran within its range. The Heron TP drones have a wingspan of 86 feet, making them the size of Boeing 737 passenger jets and the largest unmanned aircraft in Israel’s military. The planes can fly at least 20 consecutive hours and are primarily used for surveillance and carrying diverse payloads.

ATF charges 2 men in Texas church fire TYLER, Texas – Federal authorities say two men have been charged with setting an east Texas church on fire and are suspected in a string of similar blazes this year. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives spokesman Tom Crowley says Jason Robert Bourque, 19, and Daniel George McAllister, 21, were charged Sunday with felony arson in connection with a fire last month at a church in Smith County in east Texas.

In the last year, she said she’s witnessed a movement from international extremism to domestic extremism – cases in which Americans radicalized and decided to plot attacks against the country.

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Just hours after officials from several small towns took their water and sewer problems to county commissioners, they received assurances Wednesday that help could be on the way. During a rare joint meeting of the Guilford County Board of Commissioners and Greensboro City Council, city council agreed to review and investigate the water and sewer concerns of the towns. The resolution passed 9-0 after commissioners aired the issues. Oak Ridge and Pleasant Garden officials complained to commissioners Tuesday following an ethics training session that they have had problems getting Greensboro officials to help them. In Oak Ridge, the problem is with water service, and sewer service is the need in Pleasant Garden. Although the county does not build water or sewer lines, it does provide bond financing for infrastruc-

‘Under the watersewer agreement we have, it takes too long to get things started.’ Robbie Perkins Greensboro City Council member ture. Many suburban areas depend upon the cities of Greensboro and High Point to provide water and sewer services. Greensboro operates under a water-sewer service agreement which defines suburban service areas. Many of the towns contract with Greensboro and Guilford County for property planning and inspections, law enforcement and other services. Council member Robbie Perkins suggested Greensboro could use contracts to solve service problems. “Under the water-sewer agreement we have, it takes too long to get things started,” Perkins said. In many cases, Greensboro water or sewer lines are near and sometimes inside the towns, but town residents and businesses can not tap the lines, said Republican Commissioner Billy Yow. Yow, who owns a waterwell drilling and septic service business, was pleased with the vote. “We’ve been having this conversation for many years, and this is more than Greensboro ever agreed to before,” Yow said. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Police Chief Jeff Ledford said in a statement that officers arrived at 22year-old Jacole Wilson’s house early Saturday morning and found a man with a handgun threatening to kill himself. The man told police a woman had been shot and two children were inside the home. Police got Wilson to release his children, 4 years old and 6 weeks old, to Wilson’s father. After Wilson went into his house, police heard a gunshot.

No where to land This female cardinal looks for a place to land on the suet. The wren has the spot that she wanted. She finally had to settle for another landing strip on the opposite side of the feeder.

State officials work to ease prison crowding year project. The hope is to lower recidivism rates and reduce the need for prisons. Instead of wrapping policy debates around “tough on crime” sound bites or rehabilitating prisoners, supporters say, possible solutions offered by the Council of State Governments and Pew Center on the States will be based on hard numbers and evidence. “We’re going to be looking at purely data-driven decisions,”

said Rep. Alice Bordsen, DAlamance, co-chairwoman of a criminal justice budget subcommittee and a driving force behind bringing the groups to work with North Carolina. “The whole point is to step away from that partisan divide and have rational conversations based on solid information.” The goal is to find consensus across party lines and avoid government agency turf wars that have limited significant changes

Teen with diabetes can have an occasional treat

D

ear Abby: My husband and I have two children, ages 13 and 6. Our older son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes last year. Because of this, we must carefully watch everything he eats. We’re struggling to deal with it, but lately we have other issues we need help with. We were out one evening and our younger son wanted ice cream. My husband told him he couldn’t have any because it would be unfair to his brother. I, in turn, said that it’s not fair to punish the younger one. This has become a huge deal for us lately. Can you tell us who is right, and what’s the best way to handle this? – Trying To Be Fair in Hawaii Dear Trying To Be Fair: This is something you should discuss with your older son’s doctor. It is my understanding that years ago, diabetes was treated more with diet. But with the advent of glucose meters and better insulin, most people with Type 1 diabetes, while trying to eat healthfully, do not completely deprive themselves of treats but accommodate them by adjusting their level of insulin. If your husband refuses to budge on the “treats” issue, then your younger child should be given something else to compensate. The American Diabetes Association offers a free kit that can be sent to you. It can be ordered by calling 1-800-342- 2383 or logging onto www.

diabetes. org/families. The kit contains a parents’ guide, a card game for your ADVICE kids, a paperback Dear book, “The Abby Diabetes ■■■ Dictionary: What Every Person With Diabetes Needs to Know,” and more. If you haven’t already done so, please contact the ADA. It will be a terrific resource for you, your husband and your son in managing his diabetes, as well as keeping peace in your household. Dear Abby: My wife and I threw a party for which we hired a bartender, so we could spend more time with our guests. We figured that, in addition to his hourly rate, we would tip him at the end of the night. Without consulting us, the man placed a plastic cup out for our guests to tip him. My wife was appalled and demanded that he remove it. He actually argued with her, but finally put the tip cup away. My wife and I asked friends to weigh in on the subject. The men had no problem with the practice, while every woman found it offensive. Were we too harsh? Should a bartender at a private, in-home party be allowed to solicit tips from the guests? – Bar None in Southern California

Dear Bar None: Absolutely not! When you hired this person, all the details should have been agreed to in advance – and if the compensation your bartender was being offered wasn’t satisfactory, he should have refused the job. Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married six years and have two wonderful children. Lately, my motherin-law has made several comments in front of family members suggesting that one of our kids bears no resemblance to my husband – implying that I have been unfaithful. At first, I took it as a joke. Now I’m wondering if she really believes it. My husband isn’t concerned, but I wonder if I should set her straight. What would you suggest? – No Laughing Matter Dear N.L.M.: I would suggest you set your mother-in-law straight. To say that her remarks are tasteless is an understatement. Either she has a warped sense of humor or she has been watching too many soap operas. Talk with her privately and, if necessary, offer to have both your children’s DNA-tested to prove their “authenticity.” That may be the only way to stop her snide remarks once and for all.

Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

toward reducing the growth of the prison population even as the overall reported crime rate has fallen nearly 14 percent since the late 1990s. The state is looking at having to find an additional 8,500 beds by 2019 to house 51,000 prisoners, according to a new annual prison population report by the state Sentencing and Policy Advisory Commission. Keeping 8,500 new prisoners could cost more than $200 million annually.

Troopers focus on aggressive drivers The N.C. Highway Patrol is launching the campaign Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks (TACT) to crack down on motorists driving recklessly around commercial motor vehicles. Last week, SHP announced the operation – a collaborative with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration – as ongoing and would be active through September. “The Highway Patrol is responding to the increase of big truck crashes on our highways,” said Colonel Wm. Randy Glover, commander of the highway patrol. “We are going to make the highways as safe as possible.”

RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina is ready to begin a comprehensive effort to figure out how to curtail its swelling prison population, and state leaders hope it will create neither additional fears about public safety nor another political football on crime. With all three branches of government and both major parties on board, outside groups with expertise in criminal justice and corrections plan to roll out in the coming weeks a one- to three-

Hundreds of people may turn out for Monday night’s meeting of the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners, when the board is scheduled to vote on whether to appeal a federal-court ruling that stopped sectarian prayer before board meetings. With the board split 33, the decision will come down to how board Chairman Dave Plyler votes. Plyler was in negotiations late last week with the Rev. Steve Corts, the leader of a local organization that is encouraging the county to appeal the prayer decision. The N.C. Partnership for Religious Liberty, which Corts heads, recently pledged $100,000 to help the county appeal the case. The group had earlier banked $55,000 to help the county. A national group called the Alliance Defense Fund has paid the county’s legal bills so far, and is offering to back the county on appeal to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, and even to the U.S. Supreme Court. But the ADF won’t pay any legal expenses awarded to the plaintiffs if the county ultimately loses, and for Plyler, that’s the catch.

Answer to yesterday’s question: “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idoltary, wichcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, enbyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.� (Galatians 5:19-21)

utheran minister Walter Schwane was leading a hymn for a group of patients at Katie Jane Memorial Nursing Home at 2:40 p.m., Feb. 17, 1957, on a pleasant Sunday in Warrenton, Mo., when someone screamed. The scream came from a female visitor who noticed smoke near her uncle’s room. She investigated and found intense flames near FIREHOUSE a closet, CHAT causing her to race Lee through Knight the buildâ– â– â– ing yelling, “fire.â€? The stage was set for one of the worst disasters in Missouri’s history. The nursing home was a 2½-story building that two years prior served as Central Wesleyan College. It housed 155 elderly patients, and on this particular Sunday about 50 visitors were in the building. Within minutes, an explosion rocked the building, sending flames and smoke billowing toward the sky. Some said the smoke was visible 30 miles away. Fire raged through the building with incredible speed. Townspeople and firefighters from 25 local communities poured into the inferno trying to rescue the injured and bedridden before the fire cut off all rescue attempts. Warren Stuart, who worked at a nearby gas station, was one of the heros. He rushed to the scene and helped six people to safety before fire drove him back. Velma O’Sullivan, wife of the operator of the home, was another. She helped rescue 10 people, then assisted others in placing mattresses under windows so people trapped on the second floor could jump to safety. Some said the building was fully involved within a few minutes, while others said it was as long as 15 minutes. Regardless, investigators were stunned by the quick pace of the flames. There were rumors that the fire was arson, but investigators eliminated that possibility even though the fire cause was ruled as undetermined. In the end this horrific tragedy claimed 72 lives. Ironically the nursing home had passed an inspection just one week before the fire, even though the facility was operating without a license, had no sprinkler system and limited fire escapes. Two months later, thenGov. James Blair signed into law a bill that established minimum safety standards for nursing homes in the state. 24/7/364: You call; we respond.

Aneurysm size indicates potential for trouble

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I read your article about aortic aneurysms, and it frightened me. I have an aneurysm that is 5 centimeters. I feel that my doctor is not taking it too seriously. I don’t know where to turn. I can’t concentrate on anything because this is constantly on my mind. Please help. – M.B.

BLONDIE

An aneurysm is a bulge on an artery wall, much like the bulge an inner tube makes when it protrudes through a tire – when inner tubes were used, that is. It’s a weak spot and can burst to cause a severe, life-threatening hemorrhage. I understand how these are anything but comforting words, but you really don’t need to be on the edge of your seat. You and your doctor are aware of the aneurysm. People who die from an aneurysm are the ones who don’t know they have one. Everything is going to be OK for you. You’ll get the treatment you need, when and if you ever need it. The general rule is that an aortic aneurysm – the aorta being the body’s largest artery – isn’t repaired until it reaches a size of 5.5 centimeters. People with smaller aneurysms – and this includes you – have no increased rate of death than do those who have their aneurysm corrected at smaller sizes. You’re in a safe zone. You can continue with your normal activities without worrying that your aneurysm is about to explode. It is not. Stop thinking about it. You’ll make yourself a nervous wreck for no good

reason. Doctors can repair an aneurysm in different ways. One way is to remove HEALTH the dilated portion of Dr. Paul artery and Donohue replace ■■■ it with a synthetic graft. Another procedure called EVAR, endovascular aneurysm repair, is done by snaking a thin, flexible tube (a catheter) to the site of the aneurysm from a surface blood vessel. When the doctor reaches the aneurysm, he or she releases a durable fabric that’s plastered onto the wall of the artery with a metallic stent and staples. This isn’t an operation. No big incisions are made. Recovery is quite fast. You may never need either treatment. Dear Dr. Donohue: I keep various pills in my car for emergencies while I’m away from home. In the summer, the car gets very hot. Is it true that heat can void the expiration date and make the pills ineffective? Should I replace them after a hot season? – K.K. What sounds like a good idea turns out to be not so great. It’s best to store medicines in a dry, cool, dark place. Light, moisture and heat can destroy the ingredients in medicines and render them ineffective. If, in hot weather, you’re traveling and need to carry your medicines, they’ll do fine in an air-conditioned

car. When you get out of the car and go to another air-conditioned environment, take the medicines with you. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am an 88-year-old man, reasonably healthy. I am bothered by persistent constipation. Thinking that fruit would alleviate the problem, I’ve been eating large amounts of cherries. After noticing no change for the better, I wonder if the hoped-for cure was possibly a cause. Are cherries likely to cause or to relieve constipation? – H.B. I can’t imagine that cherries are constipating, but I can imagine that they promote regularity. One cup of cherries has more than 3 grams of dietary fiber. Fiber is often a solution for constipation. I don’t know why your cherry experiment failed you. How about trying prunes? Five to eight prunes a day puts most people’s digestive tracts back to work. Not only do they provide fiber, but they contain sorbitol and phenols, substances that stimulate bowel movements. Don’t expect immediate results. Give them at least a three-week trial. If prunes don’t work, then get some Metamucil or Fiberall, commercial sources of fiber. If that fails, then begin use of a stool softener, like Colace. Walking right after breakfast and drinking more than your accustomed amount of fluids also get things working.

Hunting Goodwill Fashion show presents fine attire at bargain prices BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

REENSBORO – Think you could put together an outfit, using brandname clothing, for $25 or less?

No? Then Goodwill Industries of Central North Carolina is out to prove you wrong. The organization will present its first-

‘The models will represent your typical Goodwill shoppers – all ages, boys and girls.’ Tammy Friedeck Marketing specialist, Goodwill Industries ever fashion show this week, showing off approximately 50 ensembles that have been put together at local Goodwill stores, all for no more than $25. “We’ve kind of taken the idea from other Goodwills who have done this and put our own unique spin on it,” says Tammy Friedeck, marketing specialist for Goodwill Industries of Central North Carolina.

Fashionable clothes are on display at the Goodwill store at Wendover Crossing. “We just wanted to show people that Goodwill is not your typical thrift store, but you can really find some treasures if you just take the time. We’ve got everything from formal gowns to jeans and casual shirts, and I think just being able to see the variety of stuff you can get is going to be an eye-opener.” The show will be held Thursday evening at The Empire Room in Greensboro, with a cocktail hour beginning at 5:30 p.m. and the fashion show beginning at 6:30 p.m. According to Friedeck, about 50 volunteers from communities across the Triad – including a group of students from High Point University – will model one outfit apiece during the show. “This is just a way for us to highlight all the good deals you can get at Goodwill and to show that we have name brands at Goodwill,” Friedeck says. “The models will represent your typical Goodwill

shoppers – all ages, boys and girls. We just wanted to make it relate to everybody.” The fashion show, which Goodwill officials hope will become an annual event, takes place at a time when Goodwill stores are experiencing an increase in shoppers because of a difficult economy. “We’ve definitely seen an increase in the number of people shopping at Goodwill, and an increase in the number of people coming to Goodwill for the first time,” Friedeck says. “That’s also partly why we decided to do this fashion show. We figured if some people can become converts, we think everybody should be.” Tickets to the fashion show are $40 apiece, and proceeds will benefit Goodwill’s many work programs. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Hospice of Davidson County recently received a $250,000 donation from Mr. and Mrs. Ian Silversides of Lexington. The contribution will be allocated to project costs incurred during the construction of The Henry Etta and Bruce Hinkle Hospice House, the county’s first 12-bed inpatient facility. Talmadge Hinkle Silversides is the daughter of the late Henry Etta and Bruce Hinkle, who were supporters of the agency since its inception. Henry Etta Hinkle was an advocate for quality, end-oflife care and was named honorary chair of the agency’s capital campaign prior to her death in December 2005. “We are so honored by this significant gift,” said Lisa Hathaway, the agency’s chief executive officer. “Talmadge and the Hinkle family have been so supportive of our mission. We are exceedingly fortunate to have their continued involvement and support.” In 2009, the agency provided care to more than 500 terminally ill Davidson County residents. Of those, 200 were cared for at the Hinkle Hospice House, which accepted its first patient in March of that year. For more information about Hospice of Davidson County, contact Laura Owen, director of communications and development, at (336) 474-2078 or lowen@hospice ofdavidson.org.

Guidelines can lead to healthy diet, weight

L

osing weight or maintaining a healthy weight: What really works? What doesn’t? Fad diets (diets that promise the moon and may compromise health) don’t work and neither do “diets” in general, so what is one to do? Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight may not be a piece of cake (literally or figuratively), but it can be done by following these recommended guidelines: • Set goals. A first goal may be as simple as preventing any further weight gain. Once this is accomplished, a subsequent goal to lose 5 to 10 percent of body weight over a year’s time is reasonable. New small goals can be built on prior achievements. Losing a pound or two of body fat each week is both a safe and effective way to a healthier body weight. • Keep records. Keeping records is crucial. Recording your food intake and exercise can help you spot trends and identify

areas that need improvement. Changes in body weight can provide a rough estimate of body fatness along with measuring your waist circumFOR THE ference. • Plan. There is HEALTH no magic food or OF IT food group that must be included Janet R. or excluded in Mayer your meal plans. ■■■ You have to live on what you are eating so you should design a meal plan that you enjoy, is satisfying and is within your budget. • Choose realistic calorie intakes for weight loss. For people with a BMI (body mass index) of 35, reduce your calorie intake between 500 to 1,000 calories per day. For people with a BMI 27 to 35, cut out 300 to 500 calories daily. • Balance carbohydrates, fats

and protein. Healthy diets that are also the best for managing weight provide adequate protein and fiber and are low in the kinds of fats associated with diseases. They include lots of fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy products, legumes, lean meats, fish and poultry, and whole grains. • Portion sizes. Size does matter. This is critically important for weight loss. • Space meals. Three meals a day is the standard in our society, but no law says you can’t have four or five smaller ones. Mild hunger should prompt you to eat. Eat regularly, before becoming extremely hungry. • Use the concept of energy density. Learn how to reduce the calories in your meal plan. One way to do this is to reduce the energy density of your meals. Foods containing a lot of water and/or fiber and those low in fat help to lower a meal’s energy

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

density while providing more food and satiety for fewer calories. An example is to select a cup of grapes for dessert instead of a 1⁄4 cup of raisins. • Increase metabolism and reduce appetite. In addition to burning calories with activities of daily living, physical activity such as sustained walking contributes to energy expenditure by increasing the metabolism. Physical activity may also help to control appetite and helps reduce stress which often leads to inappropriate eating. Choose activities you enjoy and are safe to perform. JANET R.

Monday, Feb. 22, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Drew Barrymore, 35; Lea Salonga, 39; Thomas Jane, 41; Jeri Ryan, 42 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Concentrate on taking advantage of any opportunity that comes along, maintaining your own schedule. Emotions will be close to the surface, making it difficult for you to hide your true feelings. Therefore, it’s best to be upfront and honest. Your numbers are 3, 8, 13, 20, 26, 35, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may feel the urge to help others but don’t do so at the expense of avoiding your own chores or missing an event or activity that you want to attend. It may seem selfish, but you must put yourself first. You can offer suggestions but not hands-on help. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t let confusion push you in the wrong direction. If you become stubborn, you will face defeat. Remain calm and offer to do your part. Love is in the stars and, if you focus on pleasing the person you care about most, you will bypass an emotional mishap. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your ability to know instinctively how you can make life easier for others will, in turn, bring you the backing you need to develop an idea you’ve been toying with. Don’t let your personal life hinder your productivity. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take advantage of any opportunity to meet new people, discuss new projects or start something new that can turn into a lucrative pastime. An old friend will need help finding a solution to a pressing problem. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Uncertainty will make it difficult to make a decision that deals with your geographical location and earning a living. Someone you least expect will be able to help you see things more clearly. Avoid making assumptions. ★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You can get all wrapped up in the melodrama going on around you or you can distance yourself and advance beyond your expectations. An opportunity to form a business or personal partnership is apparent. Don’t let your heart rule your head. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may not be able to please everyone but that doesn’t mean you should stop moving in a direction that suits your needs. Expect changes to occur at work. Concentrate on networking and entertaining the people who can influence your position. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take the initiative and put your creative ideas on the table. Your aggressive action will bring positive results and responses from someone you least expect. A change at home will throw you for a loop. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may want to dump your responsibilities in someone else’s lap but, in doing so, you will lose control of an important project. Let your intuition guide you, not your emotions. Uncertainty at home will cause some upset. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There is potential to make money if you incorporate old ideas into new projects. A partnership you once had will surface but, before you get involved, consider the emotional turmoil that occurred in the past. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You won’t be thinking clearly when it comes to your personal life and matters pertaining to your home and family. Get things out in the open and you will feel better about the decisions you make. Don’t let overindulgence be your downfall. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Secrets are apparent. You will have to ask the right questions if you don’t want to be led astray. Don’t take action until you have all the facts. Focus on work, money and getting ahead. ★★

Cy the Cynic says that you shouldn’t believe everything you think. In today’s deal, dummy’s jack of hearts won, and declarer led a club. East took his ace to return a heart, and West captured South’s queen and led a third heart. South won and had eight tricks: four clubs, a spade, two hearts and a diamond. When he led a club to dummy and returned a diamond to his queen, West produced the king and cashed two more hearts. Down one. “I thought it was right to attack my best suit early,” South alibied. “That’s what you get for thinking,” North said. “The contract was cold with correct play.”

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A 7 5 2 H A Q 6 D A Q C K 10 8 3. Your partner opens one diamond, you respond one spade and he bids 1NT. The opponents pass. What do you say?

SECOND TRICK South should lead a diamond to his queen at Trick Two. He doesn’t want East to get in early and return a heart through the A-Q, but South doesn’t care if West gets in since he can’t continue hearts effectively. If West takes the king of diamonds and leads a spade, South wins and forces out the ace of clubs for at least nine tricks. This week: “avoidance” play.

ANSWER: Not so long ago, you could have raised to 6NT with supreme confidence. If I were your partner, you could now. But with many players opening light nowadays, it’s wise, with most partners, to use discretion and raise to 4NT, giving partner a chance to stop if he opened a skinny hand. South dealer N-S 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.

Duke tops Hokies DURHAM (AP) – Kyle Singler had 25 points and 10 rebounds, Nolan Smith added 23 points and No. 6 Duke pulled away late to beat Virginia Tech 67-55 on Sunday night. Jon Scheyer had 15 points for the Blue Devils (23-4, 11-2 Atlantic Coast Conference). They used a late 14-4 run to overcome their only deficit of the second half and earn their sixth straight victory. Malcolm Delaney, the ACC’s leading scorer, finished with 19 points for Virginia Tech (215, 8-4), which fell to 117 at Cameron Indoor Stadium. His 3-pointer capped a 13-5 run and put the Hokies up 45-44 with 9:55 left. Smith followed with a three-point play roughly 30 seconds later and scored seven points during the decisive burst that followed. Scheyer finished the spurt with a 3 that made it 60-49 with 4:15 to play. Tech didn’t get closer than six after that. Duke’s three Ss – Singler, Scheyer and Smith – combined for all but four of the team’s points. The only other Blue Devils players to score: Miles Plumlee, who hit a free throw with 13:29 before the break, and 7-foot-1 Brian Zoubek, who converted a three-point play with 7:12 remaining. Zoubek finished with 16 rebounds for Duke.

High Point’s Heather Richardson skates during the women’s 1,500 meters at the Richmond Olympic Oval at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia on Sunday. Richardson finished 16th in the 1,500, 2.67 seconds behind gold medalist Ireen Wust of the Netherlands. Richardson performed well in her first Olympics, placing sixth in the 500 and ninth in the 1,000 earlier in the 2010 Games.

High Point’s Richardson enjoys ‘amazing race’ ENTERPRISE STAFF, WIRE REPORTS

RICHMOND, BRITISH COLUMBIA – High Point’s Heather Richardson completed her first Winter Olympics with the longest race of her three-event schedule. She wound up with another strong finish. Richardson skated in the fourth of 18 pairs in the women’s 1,500 meters on Sunday at the Richmond Olympic Oval. She started strongly and was 1.31 seconds under the early lead time at 300 meters, 2.06 ahead at the 700 split, and 1.39 seconds up at 1,100

meters. But Richardson lost a little steam at the end and wound up posting a time of 1:59.56. That left her second through eight skaters. Richardson stayed in the top three for several more pairs before ultimately finishing 16th. She was 2.67 seconds behind gold medalist Ireen Wust of the Netherlands. Canada’s Kristina Groves captured the silver in 1:57.14, while Martina Sablikova of the Czech Republic added to the gold she won in the 3,000 by taking bronze in 1:57.96. Richardson was the top American finisher. Jennifer Rodriguez came

home 18th, Jilleanne Rookard 24th and Catherine Raney-Norman 31st for the U.S. “I did awesome,” Richardson said. “Under two minutes for me is an amazing race, so I’m happy with it.” With her first Olympics under her belt, Richardson hopes for even better things in the 2014 Winter Games. The 20-year-old High Point Central graduate shined in her Olympic debut, placing sixth in the 500 and ninth in the 1,000. “It’s been an amazing experience,” Richardson said. “I’ve had two top-10 finishes and this wasn’t a bad race for me. I’m really happy.”

Johnson chimes in with another win FONTANA, Calif. (AP) – Jimmie Johnson got a huge break on his last stop, getting on pit road only seconds before the caution flag came out, and held off a charging Kevin Harvick in the closing laps to win at California on Sunday. After winning his unprecedented fourth consecutive Sprint Cup championship last season, Johnson started this season by finishing 35th at the Daytona 500. Consider the drive for five under way. With Harvick trying to get around him with just more than three laps to go, Johnson moved to block. Harvick scrapped the outside wall out of Turn 4 and lost his momentum, allowing Johnson to go on to his 48th career victory, and fifth in 15 races at his home track. “There’s no way of getting around how lucky they are,” Harvick said. Johnson pulled onto pit road for his final stop with 26 laps left, while behind him Brad Keselowski spun out in Turn 4. When everybody else finally got to pit under caution, that made Johnson the leader and he stayed there the rest of the way. “Fortune came our way,” Johnson said. “I’m not going to lie. The fact that we were on pit row gave us track position and I drove my butt off. “ Jeff Burton, Harvick’s RCR teammate, finished AP third. Johnson had won the last three fall races at Jimmie Johnson rings a bell after winning the NASCAR Auto Club 500 at Auto Club Speedway California, but Roush Fenway drivers had won the in Fontana, Calif. on Sunday. It marked the fifth time Johnson has won in 15 starts at the last five February races here before Sunday. Mark Martin, Johnson’s teammate, finished site he considers his home track. The four-time defending Cup Series champion now has 48 fourth, followed by Joey Logano and Kurt Busch. career victories.

HIT AND RUN

s sports editor, I strive like the dickens to remain neutral and avoid the slightest hint of rooting for a team or athlete. I want to be like Switzerland and stay uncommitted at all times. Over the years, I’ve had the good fortune to meet so many fine folks with ties or allegiances to almost every area and regional school or team in our coverage area. That leaves me more determined than ever to be as fair as I can to everyone. Besides, a good newspaperman aims to stay as objective as possible.

But there is one exception to that rule. The Olympics afford a unique opportunity for folks like me to root for the home team, in this case the good ol’ U.S.A. And High Point’s Heather Richardson made it even easier to cheer unabashedly with her great work in speedskating at the Vancouver Games. Richardson shined in her first Olympic appearance, placing sixth in the 500 meters, ninth in the 1,000 and 16th in the 1,500. She got things started with a bang in Tuesday’s 500. I smiled from ear to ear when I

checked the live scoring after her second run and saw her in medal position. She stayed there until the final three pairings. Richardson followed that up with two more great skates on Thursday and Sunday. And best of all, she’s handled herself with the grace, poise and class of a true champion. I can’t wait to see what she does at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Way to go, Heather! You made us all proud.

Trailing the South Koreans and a pair of Canadian brothers, Apolo Anton Ohno had to rally on the last lap to make history. With gold and silver out of reach, Ohno scooted past brothers Charles and Francois Hamelin to earn a bronze in the short-track 1,000-meter final late Saturday night, making him the most decorated U.S. Winter Olympian. Lee Jung-su of South Korea won and teammate Lee Ho-suk earned the silver. Ohno’s seventh career medal broke a tie with long-track speedskater Bonnie Blair. He has two golds, two silvers and three bronzes.

with the Detroit Tigers, clearing the way for the team to finalize a one-year contract with the outfielder. The person spoke Sunday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal hadn’t been announced. Another person familiar with the situation said Saturday night that the Tigers and Damon agreed on an $8 million, one-year deal, subject to a physical. The 36-year-old Damon would bring another left-handed bat to the Tigers’ lineup besides switch-hitter Carlos Guillen. Guillen and Damon would likely alternate between left field and designated hitter, but manager Jim Leyland says Guillen would be his everyday hitter out of the No. 5 slot.

HPU women ready to toe line again BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Tooey Loy was mighty comfortable on the sidelines at the Millis Center on Saturday. It was only partly because he was in bare feet. Watching his Panthers destroy UNC Asheville 78-49 made for a relaxing afternoon, as well. “It was a little funny,� HPU guard Jurica Hargraves said. “We tried not to pay attention to it too much – a couple glances. When we came into the huddle, we were a little cautious.� None of the Panthers stepped on their coaches’ feet – assistants Karen Curtis McConico and Katie Ralls also got into the act – and more importantly, HPU didn’t stub a toe against the struggling Bulldogs, scoring the game’s first 17 points.

Saturday’s outing was a one-time deal – much to his disappointment – as the league raises awareness and funds for the Samaritan’s Feet charity. The Big South Student-Athlete Advisory Committee adopted Samaritan’s Feet as its Community Service Challenge for the season, with a conference-wide goal of collecting 17,000 pairs of shoes either through footwear or $5 donations. “I was comfortable,� Loy said with a laugh. “I love walking around barefooted. If I could have just put on some sweat pants and a T-shirt, it would have been perfect. “It’s a great cause,� the coach added, turning serious about an organization whose goal is to put 10 million pairs of shoes on children’s feet in a 10-year span. “It’s putting shoes on kids in other countries so one, they

HENDERSON – Guilford Technical Community College’s basketball game at Vance-Granville Community College came to a stunning end Saturday when a player for the host school collapsed. A coach for the Titans said Raymond Dunn, one of the top scorers in the junior college conference, was shooting a free throw when he collapsed. Medical personnel rushed Dunn to the hospital, but the player was pronounced dead a short time later at Maria Parham Medical Center. “It’s a tragedy,� VGCC President Randy Parker said. “He had so much promise.

Miller finally strikes Olympic gold THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Bode Miller looked at the camera, smiled and shrugged. Even he couldn’t believe this. Miller won the first gold medal of his Olympics career on Sunday, taking the super-combined with plenty of flair – roaring back from seventh after the downhill with a blazing slalom run. That’s not the easy way of doing it, but it was quite fitting for a guy who revels in being unconventional, like partying away his medals chances at the last Winter Olympics and skipping training last summer while pondering retirement. With a medal of each color after three races, Miller is one of the feel-good stories of the Vancouver Games. “The level I skied at is at the very top,” he said. “It feels amazing.” Miller bumped the U.S. medal count to seven gold and 24 overall, easily leading all countries. One more medal and the Americans will match the 25 they won in 2006, their most at a Winter Olympics not held at home. Across Vancouver, bars, restaurants and streets were packed Sunday, mainly because of the U.S.-Canada hockey game the host country has been anticipating for years. With a trio of rivalry games at Canada Hockey Place, and six medals handed out elsewhere, the day was dubbed “Super Sunday.” However, it got off to a sad start with Joannie Rochette – Canada’s best hope for a medal in women’s figure skating – learning that her 55-year-old mother died of a massive heart attack. In the afternoon, Rochette wiped her eyes and took a deep breath before stepping onto the ice for practice, then blinked hard during her first few laps around the rink. She’ll remain

NBC plans to air their free skate in prime time. GREAT SKATE? Americans Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto, the 2006 silver medalists, compete in ice dancing’s final round. INEVITABLE?

SUPER-COMBINED Once Miller took over the lead, he had to wait out six challengers. The last was Aksel Lund

Svindal of Norway, who finished a spot ahead of Miller in the super-G and the downhill. When Svindal pulled up midway through the race, that was it. Miller tied the record for most Alpine medals won by a man at a single Winter Olympics (first since Norwegian great Kjetil Andrea Aamodt in 1994) and his five career medals are second only to Aadmodt among men’s Alpine skiers. “It’s going to be hard for me go keep doing this,” said Miller, who could still have two events left. “This is incredibly emotionally exhausting.” Defending champion Ted Ligety jumped from 15th to fifth with the fastest time in the slalom. Unfortunately for him, there was only one slalom leg this time, after two in Turin.

SKICROSS For an unpredictable sport, the first men’s winner wasn’t much of a surprise. Schmid was the top-ranked World Cup rider this season. But the final did have one of its trademark wipeouts, with Canada’s Chris Del Bosco, winner of the Winter X Games last month, going down hard on the next-to-last jump. Americans Casey Puckett and Daron Rahlves were eliminated in the first round of the four-man heats.

Toyota dealers join PR push WASHINGTON (AP) – How rattled are Toyota dealers about the company’s problems? Some dealerships nearly hired the same crisis public relations firm that handled the travails of socialite Paris Hilton, singer Chris Brown and a company that California called the state’s worst inland polluter. With Toyota waging a furious lobbying and advertising battle to protect its name following the recall of 8.5 million vehicles, many of its 1,200 dealers are taking matters into their own hands. A group in Southern California almost retained the PR firm Sitrick and Co. of Los Angeles. Insiders said the idea was nixed after Toyota officials said the company should speak with one voice – theirs. Dozens of dealers will lobby members of Congress this week as two House oversight committees hold hearings. Some dealers organized their own advertising campaigns; many are nervous and angry. “As we get into the media circus and the congressional panels which may stir things up again, they’re so afraid this is going to terrify customers and they just want to get their story out,” said Cody Lusk, president of the American International Automobile Dealers Association. The behind-the-scenes activities highlight dealers’ worries

AP

A sign assuring customers that the car has not been affected by the recall is displayed on a 2010 Camry at Bay Ridge Toyota in New York. about a crisis that has caused Toyota sales to plummet, and about a corporate response that some of them consider slow-footed and inadequate. It also underscores their willingness to flex their muscle on Capitol Hill, where dealers have clout in every congressional district as major employers and pillars of the tax base and community. “An overwhelming unified front is surely going to stir positive attention, and send a strong message of signifi-

cance, commitment and support to our members of Congress,” Tammy Darvish, vice president of four Toyota dealerships around Washington wrote Friday in an e-mail urging dealers to lobby Congress this week. Among the restive dealers is Jack Fitzgerald, who owns Toyota dealerships in Gaithersburg, Md., and Chambersburg, Pa. He produced a 60-second commercial for television and his Web site in which he

reassures customers, “Your car is safe to drive. Toyota says so. And your car is not going to depreciate. Jack says so.” A dealer for 44 years, Fitzgerald said he decided to run his own ads because he was unhappy with Toyota’s response. “They’re so late doing it,” he said of Toyota’s ads addressing the recalls. “They should have been doing this two months ago. I’m doing it because they weren’t doing anything.”

Stock market nears correction NEW YORK (AP) – Call it the almost correction. A jump in stocks last week is a sign that the market is stabilizing after a slump that began in midJanuary. The drop sent the Standard & Poor’s 500 index down 9.2 percent – short of the 10 percent pullback that generally defines a correction. The clearest evidence yet of stocks’ new strength came after the Federal Reserve said it was raising the interest rate it charges banks. The announcement didn’t sink the market although it was the kind of news that only weeks ago would have sent stocks tumbling. The market’s drop and latest bounce underscore the importance of occasional pullbacks, even if they can’t be called corrections. Analysts worry when markets leap higher that investors are getting too optimistic, too complacent or too greedy. Those attitudes can set the market up for a plunge when economic or corporate news turns bad. A correction might be healthy for the market but can be hard on inves-

tors. They start worrying that the slide will accelerate and turn into a bear market. That’s a plunge of at least 20 percent. The S&P 500 index jumped 3.1 percent for the week. That advance doused some of the concerns that investors would keep dumping stocks after a year of almost uninterrupted gains. “You never know if it’s going to be the pause that refreshes or the beginning of a new bear market roar until you get through it,” said David Bianco, head of U.S. equity strategy at Banc of America Securities-Merrill Lynch in New York. Bianco is encouraged by the market’s recovery after it neared the correction threshold. “We got there and then we rebounded,” he said. “That strikes me as a good signal.” The latest climb is all the more impressive because the Fed said late Thursday it would raise the discount rate, the interest it charges banks for short-term loans. The move is part of the central bank’s plan to dismantle emergency

supports it put in place as the financial crisis grew. Weaning the market from low-cost cash is necessary to head off inflation but clipping supports too soon could send the economy spinning. The Fed had earlier signaled its intentions about bank loans and analysts said the rate increase was in some ways just symbolic because it affects a small slice of loans. Still, it’s important that investors didn’t panic. Low

interest rates have been one of the biggest drivers of the market’s rally in the past year. Many analysts looked at Fed’s move as a welcome sign that economy has rebounded enough to endure some tough love. Standard & Poor’s Chief Investment Strategist Sam Stovall said in a research note that the rate change was an indication that “the training wheels are off, and we are once again on our own.”

lar. Honolulu was the highest at $3.33. In California, the average price for a gallon of regular was $2.87. Stockton had the state’s least expensive gas at $2.79 a gallon. Los Angeles was the steepest at $2.90.

CHICAGO (AP) – Economists expect the recovery to remain “firmly on track” over the next two years though job growth is likely to remain slow, according to a new survey. The latest outlook from The National Association for Business Economics, set to be released today, sees regular job gains resuming this quarter but no drop in unemployment below 9 percent for another year. Consumer spending will be relatively sluggish as consumers continue to dig themselves out of debt but inflation is expected to remain subdued, and home prices should rise at a rate slightly above inflation in 2010 and 2011. “We see a healthy expansion under way, although it will take time to reduce economic slack and repair damaged balance sheets,” said Lynn Reaser, the group’s president and chief economist at Point Loma Nazarene University. The NABE forecast is largely consistent with its last quarterly forecast in November and reflects an economy in slow-but-steady recovery mode. Its prediction that unemployment will decline only to 9.6 percent by the fourth quarter also mirrors the Federal Reserve’s forecast last week. Consumer spending is expected to rise only 2.2 percent this year before increasing 2.8 percent next year, according to the poll.

year. Food is among the leading culprits, along with items like coins and balloons. Of the 141 choking deaths in kids in 2006, 61 were food-related. Surveillance systems lack detailed information about food choking incidents, which are thought to be underreported but remain a significant and underappreciated problem, said Dr. Gary Smith, director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. Smith is lead author of a new policy report that seeks to make choking prevention a priority for government and food makers. The report was released today in the journal Pediatrics.

Train derails; toxic cloud forces evacuations KEENE, Calif. (AP) – Several California homes remained evacuated Sunday after the car of a freight train that derailed near a small town burned and choked the area with thick, black smoke. A day after the derailment, about seven homes were evacuated and the residents of 30 other houses were advised to stay indoors with the windows closed, said Kern County Fire Department Engineer Justin Corley. There were no serious injuries in the derailment about 9:30 p.m. Saturday.

Pediatricians urge choking warning labels for food CHICAGO (AP) – When 4-year-old Eric Stavros Adler choked to death on a piece of hot dog, his anguished mother never dreamed that the popular kids’ food could be so dangerous. Some food makers including Oscar Mayer have warning labels about choking, but not nearly enough, says Joan Stavros Adler, Eric’s mom. The American Academy of Pediatrics agrees. The nation’s largest pediatricians group is calling for sweeping changes in the way food is designed and labeled to minimize children’s chances for choking. Choking kills more than 100 U.S. children 14 years or younger each

Study: Global warming to bring stronger but fewer hurricanes

AP

Joan Stavros Adler sits in her home in Warren, N.J., as she holds a photograph of her son, Eric Stavros Adler, who choked to death on a piece of hot dog nine years ago at age four.

Back Pain?

WASHINGTON (AP) – Top researchers now agree that the world is likely to get stronger but fewer hurricanes in the future because of global warming. But they say there’s not enough evidence yet to tell whether that effect has already begun. Since just before Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana and Mississippi in 2005, dueling scientific papers have clashed about whether global warming is worsening hurricanes and will do so in the future. The new study seems to split the difference. A special World Meteorological Organization panel of 10 experts in both hurricanes and climate change came up with a consensus, which was published online Sunday in the journal Nature Geoscience.
