Mall: Teens welcome Oak Hollow shoppers differ on age policy BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Teenagers may be banned from Hanes Mall during some evening hours on the weekend, but the doors of Oak Hollow Mall are always open to both the young and the old, mall officials said. And depending on your past shopping experiences – and how old you are – that may be a good or a bad thing. Katie Reinsmidt, vice president of corporate communications and investor relations for CBL & Associates, Oak Hollow Mall’s parent company, said the mall does not have a curfew for teenagers or any similar policies in place. CBL also owns Hanes Mall, but the deci-

Shandi Richardson, 20 (left), and Shondra Richardson, 14, enter Oak Hollow Mall on Sunday. sion to implement curfews is up to the management of each mall, she said. Cheryl Seymour, a shopper at Oak Hollow Mall and mother of two teenagers, said she agrees minors should be banned from malls at certain times without parental supervision.

“Teenagers don’t need to be out by themselves after certain hours of the day,” Seymour said. “I have two teens myself, and I agree that they need adult supervision.” If you’re 20 years old like Shandi Richardson, memories of hanging out at the

mall as a teenager aren’t too far away. Richardson, who shopped at the mall with her 14-year-old sister, Shondra, said she remembered meeting her friends to see a movie or to hang out at the mall on the weekends regularly as a teenager without parental supervision. Often, she and her friends made purchases before leaving. But she also saw other teenagers misbehaving at the mall. “I kind of do and I kind of don’t agree with a policy like that (at Hanes Mall),” she said. “The good side is that a lot of things that happen at malls that shouldn’t won’t happen anymore. The bad side is that a lot of malls are targeted at younger people, and the mall might lose those sales.” Shondra Richardson said she usually doesn’t

hang out at the mall with her friends on the weekends, and the idea of a youth escort policy doesn’t bother her. Other malls in the state, including Northgate Mall in Durham and Triangle Town Center in Raleigh, also prohibit teens from shoppint without an escort during certain evening weekend hours. Triangle Town Center implemented the policy in 2008 after a brawl broke out. Faye Gurley, also a mother of a teenager who shopps at Oak Hollow Mall, said her shopping experiences have been disturbed at several different malls by teenagers, and she supports such a policy. “A lot of times they aren’t shopping seriously,” she said. “They’re just sightseeing and things. I think they shouldn’t be allowed out alone like that.”

TRIAD – The saying goes that nothing’s fair or unfair in love, war and politics. Supporters and detractors of 13term Rep. Howard Coble, R-6th, may learn that lesson first-hand as the 78-year-old congressman’s health emerges as a potential campaign issue through this spring. Coble was released Friday from High Point Regional Hospital af-

ter he fainted and fell Thursday following a Rotary Club of High Point meeting at the High Point Country Club. Coble will face at least three Republican primary challengers in the 6th District primary May 4. He hasn’t faced a primary challenger since his first campaign for Congress in 1984 when he won the GOP nomination and defeated Democratic congressman Robin

U.S. Rep. Howard Coble, R-6th, hasn’t faced a Republican primary challenger since his first campaign for the office in 1984. This month, three Republican challengers have filed against him in the May 4 primary – Guilford County Commissioner Billy Yow, furniture showroom manager Cathy Brewer Hinson of High Point and Dr. James Taylor, a physician in Pinehurst. Coble has retained the seat comfortably in general elections against Democratic and Libertarian challengers dating back to the early 1990s. The 6th District has the highest concentration of registered Republican voters among the state’s 13 congressional districts.

Britt of Greensboro. Even if Coble’s challengers don’t raise his health directly as a campaign issue, it could affect the outlook of voters wondering about the longevity of North Carolina’s longest-serving current congressman, said Matthew DeSantis, assistant professor of political science at High Point University. “It’s one thing if someone passes out and they are in their 50s or younger. When someone becomes more elderly, suddenly something like this becomes a more valid concern. Now his age and health is an issue in the campaign, and it’s never a good thing for a candidate when you are debating whether or not they are physically capable of fulfilling their two-year term,” DeSantis said. Coble indicated Friday, upon his release from High Point Regional, that he plans to return to work this week.

Driver killed in collision with Iredell deputy MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

A 40-year-old father of three was killed Sunday evening when he drove into the path of an Iredell County law enforcement officer who was pursuing a speeding motorcyclist, authorities say. David Wayne Cox, of Statesville, was killed when his Chevrolet Blazer was struck in the side by a patrol car driven by Iredell County Sheriff’s Sgt. Tim Byrd, according to the N.C. Highway Patrol.

The fleeing motorcyclist was not caught and is being sought today by the sheriff’s office and highway patrol. “We have been getting some calls from the public and are pursuing those tips,” N.C. Highway Patrol Sgt. Mark Little said Monday. “We have every available staff member on the case.” Byrd was injured in the crash, which happened shortly before 6:30 p.m. on N.C. 115 at Yadkin Valley Road, north of Statesville. He was airlifted to Carolinas Medical Center and is in fair

condition today, according to authorities. Troopers say Byrd had his blue lights flashing and his siren going as he was pursuing a motorcyclist that was traveling at a high rate of speed. Cox tried to cross N.C. 115 from Weston Road to Yadkin Valley Road when he was hit by Byrd’s cruiser. There are several small hills on N.C. 115 near the intersection. The speed limit is 45 mph in that area. The Highway Patrol said it is still trying to determine how fast

Byrd was going and other aspects of the case. The investigating officer, First Sgt. Travis Baity, could not be reached early Monday afternoon. The sheriff’s office has not commented on the case and has not responded to questions about its policy on police pursuits. The motorcyclist got away, and troopers are asking for the public’s help in finding that driver. The motorcycle is described as a sports model Honda or Suzuki, mostly black but with a yellow stripe.

Bakery brings 80 jobs to NC CLAYTON (AP) – A company that bakes hamburger buns for McDonald’s restaurants and other commercial customers plans to open a new plant in North Carolina, creating about 80 jobs. Gov. Beverly Perdue’s office said Monday that taxpayers will contribute $350,000 to lure Northeast Foods Inc. into spending $25 million on a new plant in Clayton. Perdue’s office says wages at the Northeast Foods bakery south of Raleigh will top an average of $41,000 a year plus benefits, compared with the Johnston County’s average of $31,000.

James Edward Richardson never denied shooting Spencer Maurice Cornelius, 35, and was the one who made the 911 call to report that he had fired two shots at the victim, but did not know if he hit him. Richardson claims Cornelius stole copper pipe from him and sold it for scrap, so he confronted him about it.

Hospitals drop child ban as swine flu eases WINSTON-SALEM (AP) – Two more major North Carolina hospitals are easing their ban on children visiting patient rooms as the spread of H1N1 flu eases. Wake Forest University

Baptist Medical Center and Lexington Memorial Hospital said they are lifting the restrictions Monday. Restrictions on visitors under age 18 have been in place since October, when

hospitals acted to slow the spread of swine flu. Some of the state’s biggest hospitals began dropping the child-visitor ban two months ago. That’s when Moses Cone Health System in Greens-

She pleaded guilty to 10 counts each of felony obstruction of justice and altering official case records. Four attorneys and a former court clerk pleaded guilty earlier in the case.

Lawyers Chad Lee and Lee Hatch were each sentenced to prison for four years. Former assistant court clerk Portia Snead and attorneys Jack McLamb and Vann Sauls were put on probation.

Obama’s spending plans will bankrupt America It is obvious that Kristine Kaiser (column, Feb. 13) has a great deal of contempt for and ignorance about Tea Party activists. She says “… they are likely isolated and lonely people looking for a cause to fill empty spaces.” All of the Tea Party people I know (myself included) are active in the community, have large social circles, are now or have previously been a part of businesses and are very happy people. We are also people who, unlike President Obama, understand Economics 101 and know that the spending now coming from Washington will bankrupt this country. Kaiser continues to blame President Bush for the high deficits now being visited upon us. What she fails to remember is the last two years of the Bush presidency; the Democrats controlled Congress and the budget. According to a recent editorial in The Wall Street Journal “… President Obama will add more red ink in his first two years in office (than Bush) did in eight.” Federal spending has grown more than 29 percent since 2008. It is time for President Obama to “man up” to the deficits he and his congressional enablers have created. President Obama gives lip service to the need to reduce the deficit while continuing to spend and borrow more and more. He recently raised the debt ceiling for government borrowing to

Richardson shines on Olympic ice

ost of us would call participation in the Olympic Games the thrill of a lifetime. But we expect that’s not what High Point’s Heather Richardson would call it. On Sunday, the 2007 High Point Central grad finished up fine performances in her speedskating events at the Vancouver Winter Olympics. Now she’ll be turning her attention to returning to the 2014 games in Sochi, Russia, and having the opportunity for more thrills on ice. Richardson, and all of us in the High Point area, should be proud of her three speedskating performances – sixth in the 500 meters, ninth in the 1,000 meters and 16th in the 1,500 meters. Her finishes in the 500 and the 1,500 were the best of the U.S. women’s team, and her showing in the 1,000 (after a stumble that possibly cost her a medal) was second-best among the U.S. racers. Her quest for Olympic gold in 2014 begins next month with World Cup events in Germany and the Netherlands. Then she’ll be home in High Point with parents Jeff and Pat Richardson for a few weeks, and then she will be off again to Kearns, Utah, home of US Speedskating, to begin training for Sochi. The excitement Richardson has generated here in the last few weeks is certain to increase area interest in women’s speedskating, and we expect the 20-yearold to be around the sport for a while. Attention Richardson has gained also should boost interest in inline skating, in which she excelled as a teenager before putting on the ice skates. As a senior in high school in 2006, a clearly focused Richardson won a gold medal at the World Roller Skate Championships held in South Korea. At that time, she envisioned inline skating becoming an Olympic sport or her making the switch to ice and Olympic speedskating. Today, she’s clearly focused again ... Sochi in 2014.

Excessive state borrowing will harm N.C.’s future

here are plenty of reasons for North Carolinians to be worried and angry about the recent fiscal management of their government. After spending too much money when the economy was growing, the General Assembly has raised income and sales taxes during recessions. State and local officials have failed to set firm budget priorities. And skyrocketing level of state indebtedness is consuming tax money that might otherwise have been used to balance the budget, cut taxes, or fund core services. I think all of these objections to the fiscal policies of current and former North Carolina leaders are valid. But there’s an argument I find even more persuasive: these public officials have repeatedly violated the fiscal-policy provisions of the state constitution and should be held to account. Many instances come to mind, but let me focus today on perhaps the most egregious one, government borrowing without securing the permission of voters in a referendum. In general, Article V, Sections 3 and 4 of the North Carolina Constitution require that any state or local borrowing that would pledge taxes to pay off the debt must be subjected to voter approval. But in recent years, both state and local governments have issued certificates of participation (COPs) to fund the construction of prisons, schools, and other facilities. COPs are not subject to voter approval, which is why politicians like them. Holding a referendum takes some time and expense. More importantly, holding a referendum means that you have to accept the possibility that voters will say no. It’s best just not to ask the peons in the first place. The use of COPs and other non-voter-approved debt is no minor occurrence. According

to the 2010 Debt Affordability Study just released by the office of State Treasurer Janet Cowell, nearly one-third of the state’s total debt will be in the non-voterapproved category by 2011. That’s higher than the 30 percent mark that bond-rating agencies prefer OPINION for states to maintain a triple-A credit rating. John In defending this practice, Hood North Carolina politicians argue ■■■ that COPs aren’t subject to the state constitution’s referendum requirement because they don’t pledge the taxing power of the government. Technically, investors who buy COPs are buying the right to share in the revenues to be derived from the buildings being financed. Technically, the investors can repossess their share of the buildings in question if the revenues don’t materialize. Technically, this is what a layman would call male-bovine excrement. Public schools and prisons derive virtually all their “revenue” from government tax collections. Public universities derive a large share of theirs from taxes, too. In reality, investors who buy COPs are loaning money to the state in return for receiving future tax revenue. They have no interest in claiming an ownership stake in the few bricks their money paid to lay. As long as North Carolina politicians are never held to account for their misuse of the power to borrow, they’ll keep doing it. I wonder if we’ll ever see a major statewide bond referendum again.

Israeli soldiers clash with Palestinian youth HEBRON, West Bank â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A crowd of Palestinian youths pelted Israeli soldiers with stones and empty bottles on Monday, drawing tear gas and stun grenades in the most serious violence to rock this volatile West Bank city in months. The clashes erupted a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu enraged Palestinian residents by adding a disputed Hebron shrine to Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list of national heritage sites.

Peru buses crash head-on; 38 dead, 58 hurt LIMA, Peru â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Two buses crashed head-on along a remote stretch of highway in northeast Peru Monday, killing at least 38 people and injuring 58, police said. Police and firefighters used cutting equipment to reach the injured trapped inside the twisted wreckage of the buses, which collided shortly before dawn on the Panamerican Highway between Rio Hondo and Viru, 290 miles northeast of the capital. No official cause was given for the accident. AP

Haitians say aid halted to force them out PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Homeless victims of Haitiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earthquake said Monday that police are halting deliveries of food and water to try to force them to leave their camp on the grounds of the prime ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office.

Afghan government: NATO airstrike kills at least 21 KABUL (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; NATO jets mistakenly killed at least 21 people in central Afghanistan, Afghan officials said Monday, the deadliest attack on civilians in six months. The strike prompted a sharp rebuke from the Afghan government as it struggles to win public backing for a major military offensive against the Taliban in south. Also Monday, a suicide bomber

detonated explosives at a community meeting in eastern Afghanistan, killing 15 civilians including a prominent tribal leader widely criticized for failing to prevent Osama bin Ladenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s escape at Tora Bora after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. The civilian deaths occurred as 15,000 NATO, U.S. and Afghan soldiers were in their 10th day of

fighting insurgents in the southern town of Marjah in Helmand province. The mission is to rout the Taliban, set up a local government and rush in aid to win public support. The alliance said its planes fired on what was thought to be a group of insurgents in Uruzgan province on their way to attack NATO and Afghan forces.

After a day of marathon meetings between the two sides, Prime Minister Guillaume Soro told reporters that the countries â&#x20AC;&#x153;political playersâ&#x20AC;? had come to an agreement and that he planned to announce the details of the new government on Wednesday morning.

Outlook no brighter for Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new health plan WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In a final effort to achieve historic health care changes, President Barack Obama unveiled his most detailed plan yet on Monday. Realistically, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just hoping to win a big enough slice to silence the talk of a failing presidency. The 10-year, $1 trillion plan, like the current Democratic version in the Senate, would bring health insurance to more than 31 million Americans who now lack it. Government insurance wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be included, a problem for Democratic progressives. Republicans are skeptical about where the money would come from â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and about Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim that the plan wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raise the federal deficit. Striking out in one fresh direction that should have wide appeal, Obama would give federal regulators new powers over the insurance industry, a re-

action to a rash of doubledigit premium hikes that have infuriated policy holders in California and other states. The plan is supposed to be the starting point for Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s televised, bipartisan health care summit Thursday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a new beginning after a year of wrangling and letting Congress take the lead. Yet Republicans were quick to dismiss it as a meld of two Democratic bills the public doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want. Democrats, while reaffirming their commitment to major changes, reacted cautiously, mindful that Obama is asking them to stake their political fortunes in the fall elections. In the end, Americans who have listened to a year of talk about big changes in their health care may see much smaller changes, if any. The president is likely to have to settle for much less than he wants.

Scott Brown of Massachusetts was joined by

several other Republicans to help Democrats defeat a filibuster orchestrated by GOP leaders by a 62-30 tally. The tally sets up a vote on Wednesday to actually pass the measure. The bill would allow

Doctor indicted in child sex abuse scandal DOVER, Del. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Delaware grand jury returned a sweeping indictment Monday against a pediatrician accused of serial molestation in what could be one of the worst child sex abuse cas-

Attorney General Beau Biden said all of the alleged victims were caught on more than 13 hours of video recordings, some dating to 1998, that were seized from Bradleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and home.

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The new president of John Wesley College said Monday he wants to be the right person at the right time to lead the college through faith to meet its challenges. Larry D. McCullough will start March 1 as the college’s ninth president. College officials announced the appointment Monday. “With God’s help we hope to achieve the best possible results by doing the right things at the right time,” McCullough said to a gathering of college officials, community leaders and students. McCullough is vice McCullough president for Accelerated Degree Completion Programs for Knowledge Elements Inc. in Franklin, Tenn., which is an international academic consulting firm that has consulted the college. His selection follows a yearlong national search following the retirement of Brian Donley in June 2008. The Rev. Joel Key has served as the interim president. McCullough said the college will continue to train students for ministry, missions and secular roles in business and the marketplace. Located off Eastchester Drive at N. Centennial Street, the private interdemoninational Christian college offers business degrees which include Bible studies and ethics courses. “We are educating men and women to see opportunity where others see insurmountable obstacles, men and women who have the courage to try the unconventional,” McCullough said. “We need to help our students understand that the Great Commission given by Jesus Christ demands that we represent our Lord not only in foreign villages, but also in the corporate board room, the inner city and everywhere in between.” One focus will be growth, McCullough said. For the last few years, the college has had about 120 students and has been struggling financially. The college budget is supported mostly by tuitions and an endowment. “We have tremendous potential to grow by providing higher education that is convenient, affordable, and highly accessible,” McCullough said. McCullough said he will have an “open door” policy and will stress, faith, communication, teamwork and integrity. “I am convinced that much can be accomplished and modeled through teamwork,” McCullough said. Betty Royal, college trustees chairwoman, said McCullough was one of three finalists and “far above the other two.” “He brings a fresh, aggressive vision for our future and shares our commitment to traditional Christian values,” she said. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Retin-A researcher Kligman dies PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Dermatologist Albert M. Kligman, whose research led to discoveries including the acne and wrinkle drug Retin-A but whose pioneering work was overshadowed by his experiments involving prisoners, has died. He was 93. Kligman died Feb. 9 of heart failure at Pennsylvania Hospital, his daughter Gail Kligman, a sociology professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, said Sunday. Kligman is credited as being the first derma-

tologist to show a link between sun exposure and wrinkles. He coined the term “photoaging” to describe skin aging caused by the sun. In 1967, he patented Retin-A, a vitamin A derivative known generically as tretinoin, as an acne treatment and received a new patent in 1986 after discovering the drug’s wrinkle-fighting ability. Kligman wrote more than 500 research papers and many books during his long career, which continued into his later years.

Regional cooperation effort advances ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GREENSBORO – Leaders in the Piedmont took another step toward advancing regional economic cooperation Monday. The Piedmont Triad Partnership board of directors voted to merge the partnership and the Piedmont Triad Leadership Group Executive Committee, a group created and staffed by the partnership. The roster of the new board of directors, as well as officers, will be determined in the coming weeks, the partnership indicates. “The restructuring was undertaken to unite the existing Piedmont Triad Partnership and the Piedmont Triad Leadership Group Executive Committee, in order to have the strongest regional economic development organization possible in the Piedmont Triad,” said board

Chairman Jim Morgan, a High Point attorney and civic leader. “The Piedmont Triad faces huge economic challenges, but we also have huge opportunities. This restructuring will let us take advantages of these opportunities.” In addition to new officers, the new board of directors will include a representative from each of the 12 counties within the jurisdiction of the partnership, the chairman of the partnership’s Economic Developers Advisory Committee, a representative of each company or municipality investing $25,000 or more annually in the partnership and at-large members elected by the board of directors. The partnership, one of seven regional economic development partnerships in North Carolina, is the economic development organization representing a 12-county region.

Perdue worried about lack of small business loans RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue wants the federal government to ease tight credit markets making it hard for small banks to lend money to growing businesses. Perdue said on Monday she planned to meet with the head of the Small Business Administration before her trip to Washington for the National Governors Association ends. She told reporters in a phone call that commu-

nity banks in the state tell her they’re over-regulated by Washington and hesitant to lend. The governor would like the Obama administration to create a small loan pool. Perdue also said she told Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood her disappointment about only receiving $10 million in federal stimulus grants to replace the aging Yadkin River bridge along Interstate 85.

Treatment arouses many readers’ ire

ear Abby: I agree with the response you gave to “Low Priority in Pennsylvania” (Dec. 11) that she reconsider her relationship with her fiance, but not for the reason you may think. Unless they are kids just out of college, three years is a long time to be engaged. Add to this the fact that the man seems to be making no moves to blend his old family with his new one, and it suggests to me that he isn’t really serious about making his relationship with “Low Priority” permanent. After three years, a man who is planning to remarry should be gently encouraging his biological children to accept the new relationship. Obviously, when his kids are visiting he is going to spend a lot of time with them on their own, but he shouldn’t be reluctant to show her affection and respect in their presence. He also should not be ignoring her or her child, and there should be time scheduled for all of them to do things together. That Sunday breakfast would be a perfect opportunity. A man who is serious would wake up the whole house and they’d go to breakfast together. Then afterward, maybe she would go home and he would take all the kids – her son included – to do something fun. Or maybe she should be the one who takes the kids for an afternoon, to give his kids a chance to get used to this new woman and

negotiate a relationship with her on their own terms. The fact that he has done ADVICE none of this should be Dear a huge red Abby flag to “Low ■■■ Priority.” She needs to decide if being engaged for life is good enough, or if she’d rather cut bait and look for a man who loves and respects her enough to fully incorporate her into his life. – Jaymi in Atlanta Dear Jaymi: Thank you for writing. Many readers disagreed with my comments and told me emphatically that not only did they regard the man as an uncaring partner, but also as an ineffective parent. Read on: Dear Abby: That man is not being a good parent when he has his kids. A real parent sets bedtimes and teaches the kids to consider all the members of the family. He is shortchanging his kids because of his behavior! – Elizabeth in San Diego Dear Abby: Through 23 years of marriage I tolerated isolating behavior from my husband when his two sons were visiting, first as teens and later as young adults. Nothing worked – talking to him, ignoring the behavior, taking

my own trips on visit weekends, marriage counseling. I had no say in matters pertaining to the two stepsons, even though they affected my marriage and our home life. My marriage ended when I finally decided if I was going to feel alone, I might as well enjoy the benefits. My former husband is now alone and none too happy about it. And his now grown sons are no more concerned with his feelings than he was with mine. Children learn by example. – Former Stepmother Dear Abby: In a family, blended or otherwise, the adults are the heads of the family. It’s the so-called “executive system.” Their relationship must be kind, harmonious and respectful because it sets the tone for the entire family dynamic. The fiance may love his children, but he’s actually causing them more harm by allowing them to rule the roost and see him essentially mistreat the woman and child with whom he has lived for three years. The part of your advice I agree with is that the woman should not marry him. – Therapist in Maine 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.

Edith Marie Bodenhamer HIGH POINT – Mrs. Edith Marie Bodenhamer, 79, passed away Sunday, February 21, 2010 at Westwood Health & Rehabilitation.

Surviving are her husband, Tommy Bodenhamer of the home; two daughters, Shirley Byerly and husband Grady of Lexington and Vicki Hinkle of Durham; a son, Robin Hinkle and wife Jan of Archdale; three step-daughters, Melissa West and husband David of Greensboro, Kathy Lambeth and husband Danny of Winston Salem, and Amy Russell and husband Mack of Charlotte; a step son, Jonathan Bodenhamer; three grandchildren, Brandon Hinkle, Sherry Hedrick and husband Shannon and Roger Byerly; a sister, Barbara Beck; and her loving pet, Peanut.

Sandy Clinton Jr. HIGH POINT – Mr. Sandy Clinton, Jr., 94, of 901 Circle Drive, passed away Saturday, Feb. 20, 2010, at Hospice Home of High Point.

BY NINA HAMMOND

hat is the cheapest and one of the most effective strategies to improve and maintain good health? The answer may be as close as a neighborhood street and as easy as putting one foot in front of the other. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right, walking. Numerous studies support the health benefits of walking. According to a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services study, a significant benefit results from one hour per week of cardiovascular activity, with benefits increasing as the amount of activity increases. Individuals walking for 30 minutes, five days a week, can realize tremendous health benefits. These recommendations have been shown to decrease the risk of premature death from cardiovascular disease and some cancers (including colon cancer), significantly reduce the risk of type two diabetes and even improve psychological well-being. Choose a nice safe walking route outdoors when the weather permits. Web sites such as www.livestrong.com offer a chance to create and save mapped routes for walks and include distances and elevations. Exposure to sunlight along with exercise promotes the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of beneficial chemicals called â&#x20AC;&#x153;endorphins.â&#x20AC;? Endorphins make us feel better emotionally and stimulate the immune system. Alternatively, choose an indoor environment, such as the mall or a treadmill. Either way is beneficial. If being around others increases motivation, join a fitness center or start a neighborhood walking club. There also are many walks organized for fundraising that get people together to promote a healthy lifestyle and support a good cause. The Warren Rives 5K Run/Walk in September in High Point raises money for people who otherwise could not afford cardiovascular rehabilitation following a cardiac event. Cardiovascular rehabilitation programs are centered on physical conditioning and reduction of risk factors. Walking is key to recovery after a cardiovascular event. Start walking now to reduce the risk of a cardiac illness. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheap, accessible and the benefits are many, so lace up your favorite pair of sneakers and go for a walk. Your heart will thank you.

Tracking down causes of swollen legs D

ear Dr. Donohue: What can be done about an accumulation of water in the legs and feet? It’s a big problem with me. I have a problem buying shoes. They fit at the shoe store, but when I get around to wearing them, I can’t get them on. Is there a surgery for this problem? I have taken water pills, but they don’t seem to help. I have neglected to say that I take Lyrica for nerve-damage pain. Swelling is a possible side effect of it. – H.H.

BLONDIE

B.C.

Swelling of the legs and feet is called edema (uh-DEE-muh). It isn’t water that has accumulated; it’s fluid that comes from the circulation, something that normally occurs. When all is in working order, the fluid is vacuumed up by vessels called lymphatics and returned to the circulation. If there’s too much fluid circulating and seeping out of blood vessels, or if the lymphatics have gone haywire, the legs, ankles and feet swell. No surgery takes care of the problem. The causes are many. Heart failure is one. If the heart isn’t pumping strongly, blood backs up in arteries and veins, and fluid oozes from them. Kidney and liver failure cause edema. Clots in leg veins can bring it on.

HEALTH Dr. Paul Donohue ■■■

A blockage of the lymphatic system is another cause of swelling. The point is that a cause has to be found before effective treatment

can be given. I think you have hit on the correct diagnosis. Drugs can cause edema. Some diabetes medicines, ACE inhibitors (popular blood pressure drugs), steroids like cortisone and prednisone, calcium channel blockers (other blood pressure medicines) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Aleve, Advil, Motrin and many more) can do it. Your Lyrica, a medicine often used for relieving the pain of nerve damage, is a cause of edema. Don’t stop it without first talking to your doctor. The edema should go away once the offending medicine, if it is the cause, has been discontinued. In the meantime, go easy on salt. Elevate your legs during the day. Elevation amounts to lying on your back with your legs propped up on pillows. Elastic compression hose help. Don’t buy shoes in the morning. Buy them in the late afternoon, when swelling peaks.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I am married to a lovely 47-year-old woman who decided 16 months ago to quit drinking alcohol, and she’s been successful in doing so. The problem is that she now eats three or four cups of chocolate chips, a quart of ice cream, an apple fritter (sugar-coated) and raw chocolate-chip cookie dough and drinks six to eight cups of decaf coffee. She eats regular meals. She is 5 feet tall and weighs between 110 and 115 pounds. Is this overload of sweets harmful, and what parts of her body are they hurting? – Anon. Stopping excessive drinking is healthy. Eating prodigious amounts of sweets isn’t healthy, but it’s less destructive than downing too much alcohol. Has your wife had her cholesterol, triglycerides or blood sugar checked lately? She’s eating way too much sugar and fat, and her arteries are going to suffer from it. I cannot explain why she hasn’t gained weight. I don’t know where those calories are going. DR.

Quilt patterns sent messages to runaway slaves on the Underground Railroad to freedom.

Recalling a movement GTCC instructor presents history of the Underground Railroad BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

WANT TO GO?

IGH POINT – During her studies of African-American history, Meltonia Young remembers being struck by one particular phrase – “the modern civil rights movement.” “I always heard them say ‘the modern civil rights movement,’ and I started asking myself, what was the civil rights Young movement before that?” Young says. “I started investigating, and I found out it was the Underground Railroad, which was the first multiracial movement for equal rights in America.” Young, of High Point, fell in love with the history of the

Local storyteller Meltonia Young will present “Stories From The Underground Railroad” at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Doll & Miniature Museum, 101 W. Green Drive. Admission is free and open to the public. For more information, call the museum at 885-3655. Underground Railroad and now travels the state presenting programs about it, focusing specifically on the quilt patterns – and the symbols they contained – that many historians believe runaway slaves relied on to help them move from one city to the next. Her program, “Stories From the Underground Railroad,” will be presented Saturday afternoon at the Doll & Miniature Museum.

Admission is free and open to the public. Young, who teaches adult education at Guilford Technical Community College, describes her presentation as “part art exhibition, part history and part decoding of the secrets behind the quilt patches that are synonymous with the Underground Railroad.” According to Young, quilts were draped on fences or hung on clotheslines to help runaway slaves find the path to freedom. During her program, she’ll bring examples of the types of symbols that appeared on the quilts. “I’m an artist, not a seamstress, so the quilts I make are collages,” she says. “They’re fabric, pastel and oil. I put together quilt patterns that tell a story – for instance, how to get from North Carolina to Philadelphia and how to get from Philadelphia to Detroit.”

Young also discusses such topics as the contributions of the Quakers to the Underground Railroad; abolitionists such as Harriet Tubman and William Lloyd Garrison; unsung heroes of the Underground Railroad; and a brief history of fugitive slave laws. Young, whose programs are sponsored by the Cultural Exchange Association, says she’s committed to keeping the history of the Underground Railroad alive. “I do this because I don’t want people to forget that this was the first multiracial movement in America for equal rights,” Young says. “When we talk about the civil rights movement, we always put the word ‘modern’ in front of it, and I don’t want this history to fall through the cracks.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Famine shines light on homelessness, hunger BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

INTERESTED?

The 30-Hour Famine is an international youth movement aimed at fighting hunger. A local observance will be held from 5:30 p.m. Friday until 1:30 p.m. Saturday at First Presbyterian Church, 918 N. Main St. Participants are expected to begin fasting after breakfast Friday and will break the fast together at lunchtime Saturday. Participants (grades 612) will sleep outdoors in the church parking lot (weather permitting), so they should bring an outdoor-grade sleeping bag, a pillow and a cardboard box for sleeping in. Participants should also bring three cans of soup and collect pledges to donate to World Vision. To sign up, call the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church’s Youth Ministry Hotline at 884-5352.

IGH POINT – More than 200 area middle- and high-school students will go hungry Friday and Saturday to raise awareness and money for the fight against world hunger. The observance, taking place at First Presbyterian Church, is the annual 30-Hour Famine sponsored by World Vision. “The 30-Hour Famine is an international movement to bring homelessness and hunger to the forefront of community issues,” says Terry Aiken, youth minister at Immaculate Heart of Mary, one of about nine local churches whose youth groups plan to participate. “This is our 10th year of being a part of the 30-Hour Famine.” While specific youth groups have signed up to participate, the event is open to any middle- or highschool student. In addition to fasting for 30 hours, participants will enjoy a gospel hip-hop concert Friday evening, sleep outdoors in cardboard boxes – to heighten their awareness of the plight of homelessness – and perform community service projects Saturday morning, before breaking their

A new assessment tool, reported recently by the Journal of Hospital Medicine, may help hospitals avoid under- or overtreating patients who are admitted through hospital emergency departments. Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have modified an early-warning tool that is commonly used to determine if hospitalized patients are getting sicker. With these changes, researchers may have developed a way for busy emergency departments to assess the risk of incoming patients. Dr. Chadwick Miller, senior author of the study, and colleagues studied an existing hospital-based tool called the modified early warning score that includes a series of questions about the patient’s health state. It has typically been used to determine if hospitalized patients are getting sicker. The researchers reviewed records from 280 patients being admitted to the hospital from the emergency department. Using the early warning score, 82 percent of the patients fell into the category of “intermediate risk,” a gray area where it can be unclear whether a higher or a lower level of care is needed. The score predicted that 18 percent of patients required intensive care, but a look back at patients’ records told the team that, in fact, 27 percent of the patients ultimately needed a higher level of care.

This week’s deals treat “avoidance”: stopping a “dangerous” defender from gaining the lead or from gaining it too early. Today’s declarer puts up dummy’s queen of spades, winning, and his K-8 is safe from attack if West gets in. South must set up nine tricks while keeping East out of the lead. South actually led a diamond next, planning to finesse twice in diamonds, but hit a snag when East held both missing honors. South captured East’s king and took the three top clubs. When West discarded, South led a second diamond. Down he went when East produced the queen.

CLUB LOSER South should lead a club from dummy at Trick Two. When East plays low, South plays the eight (“avoidance”), passing his probable club loser to West. South can win a heart shift in hand, take the ace of clubs, lead a heart to dummy and run the clubs to assure nine tricks. If East played an honor on the first club, South could test the clubs. If East had a club trick, South could fall back on the diamonds.

HOROSCOPE

CROSSWORD

Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Dakota Fanning, 16; Kristin Davis, 45; Patricia Richardson, 59; Peter Fonda, 70 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Emotional issues will capture your attention and you may miss out on some good opportunities because you are wrapped up in personal matters. Put your time and effort into getting ahead professionally and stop spinning your wheels trying to fight the inevitable. Change is necessary whether you want it or not, so get on with what needs to be done. Your numbers are 2, 8, 15, 23, 26, 33, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Someone who wants to make you look bad will use the information you divulge against you. Problems with authority, institutions or neighbors can stand in your way. Address any issues that arise swiftly without revealing too much. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may want to accommodate someone but, in the end, it will not help your emotional state of mind or your position. If something doesn’t feel right to you, do not take part. Travel for business if it will help seal a deal. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You cannot change what has happened but you can put it behind you and start again. Too much of anything will turn into a bad thing. Don’t disrupt what you’ve worked so hard to achieve. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Participation will be the key to getting ahead. Travel for business will be the deciding factor. A face-to-face meeting will ensure you are in the running for something you really want to take part in. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you pretend to know more than you do, it will lead to mistakes and a change of plans. Know who and what you are up against before you decide to challenge someone. Confidence, know-how and experience will win in the end. ★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Follow through with your plans or you will be criticized. Avoid taking anyone for granted by doing the work by yourself. Once you have proved that you are quite capable of going it alone, you will attract worthy partners who can contribute as much as you have. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Stick to the rules and regulations or you will face problems with superiors, institutions or agencies. Put your creative mind to work for you. Added responsibilities must not be allowed to hold you back. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There is money to be made, deals to be signed and settlements to go after. Buying or selling property or investments will be to your benefit. An unusual collaboration will bring about a new interest that can turn into greater cash flow. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Expect to face opposition from friends, neighbors and relatives if you are not honest about your concerns and whereabouts. Inconsistency will be your downfall and will lead to changes in your personal life that you don’t foresee. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t take anything for granted. What you expect to unfold will not, so stay alert and prepare for an unusual turn of events. If you are ready to be a participant, you can take advantage of a rare opportunity. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your innovative, inventive outlook will take others by surprise and will drum up interest in your plans. Put your time, effort and cash into building a solid foundation for the future, replacing old habits that make your life repetitive and boring. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): What you think you are getting and what is actually being offered are not the same. Emotional problems will leave you unsure of what to do next. Don’t make any moves that will disrupt your personal life. ★★

HPU women cruise past Presbyterian BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

Wednesday could produce a tie for second and a logjam at fourth if things fall right. Virginia Tech could catch Maryland for second, if the Hokies top Boston College and Clemson bests Maryland. If the Tigers top the Terps and Florida State beats North Carolina, Clemson and the Seminoles will be tied with Wake at 8-5. A loss by the Tar Heels would put them in the basement with N.C. State at 3-10.

HIGH POINT – After overcoming the emotion of senior night, High Point University quickly picked apart the Blue Hose on Monday night. The Panthers wound up cruising to a 72-61 Big South Conference victory over Presbyterian College in their final regular-season game at the Millis Center, but didn’t play with any spark until coach Tooey Loy hit on the right combination. That came when he put in the unit of Frances Fields, Amy Dodd, Ashlee’ Samuels, Laura Whitt and Mackenzie Maier. He made a wholesale substitution leading by three with 11:23 left in the first half. HPU (16-11, 9-5) picked up its defensive intensity and offensive execution, went on a 10-4 run to go up by nine and was never seriously threatened the rest of the way. That put a happy ending on a night which began with Samuels and Whitney Tarver being honored in a pregame ceremony. “I know I was ready to go all day and when I came out I got real emotional,” said Samuels, who led the Panthers with a career-high 16 points. “The team seemed like they were ready to go, but we came out sluggish. I was emotional and I think they fed off of that.” Fields capped the spurt that got HPU going, scoring the last four buckets of her 13 first-half points. She finished with 14 for the game. The Blue Hose never got closer than eight, the last time at 32-24 with 2:57 left in the first half. HPU closed out the period with an 11-2 run capped by Samuels’ follow just before the buzzer and scored 11 of the first 13 points of the second half to go up by 25 with 12:45 left. Jurica Hargraves completed the Panthers’ doubledigit scorers with 13. Samuels said she was unaware that she set a personal record until after game. Presbyterian (5-21, 3-9) whittled the lead in the closing minutes as Loy experimented with different lineups. Kristen Stevens scored 15 to lead the Blue Hose.

Official Gary Maxwell separates Duke’s Kyle Singler (12) from Virginia Tech’s Terrell Bell (left) after a scramble resulted in shoving during the second half of Sunday night’s ACC battle in Durham. The Blue Devils won 67-55. Duke is ranked fifth in the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll. No other ACC team is ranked this week.

Duke stands alone in mediocre ACC

THE ACC NOTEBOOK:

hile the weekly basketball Top 25 polls don’t mean a lot since the NCAA Tournament will ultimately decide who the best is, Monday’s version certainly removed some more of the ACC’s swagger. The conference that likes to boast it is one of the best basketball leagues in the nation wound up with just one team, Duke at No. 5, in the current Associated Press balloting, the first time that’s happened since North Carolina was the lone selection at No. 5 on March 4, 1977. One of the best basketball conferences in the country? The ACC has fewer teams in the poll this week than the Atlantic 10 (Temple and Richmond) and the Mountain West (BYU and New Mexico) and no more than the Horizon (Butler), the West Coast (Gonzaga) and the Missouri Valley (Northern Iowa). The argument could be made that Virginia Tech should be in the Top 25 with just five losses, even though loading up on cupcakes helped build the Hokies’ reputation. The argument could be made that Maryland belongs with just three losses in the conference. Wake Forest blew its argument that it should belong on the strength of victories at Gonzaga and at Richmond when it laid an egg against N.C. State. The Dea-

cons, who went from possible regularseason champion to fighting for fourth with its two losses last week, became the latest team to drop into the hole of SPORTS mediocrity. How mediocre? Greer Duke and the Hokes Smith are the only two ■■■ teams with fewer than five losses. How mediocre? In the RPI rankings that help determine which teams will get at-large bids, Duke is ranked second but no other ACC team is in the top 20. Wake is No. 21, behind Temple, Butler and Northern Iowa, but above Gonzaga and Richmond. Despite its woes, the league still has the potential to get five or six at-large NCAA bids. Georgia Tech is 33rd, Clemson is 35th, Maryland is at No. 36 and Florida State is 40th. Virginia Tech, hurt by strength of schedule ranked at 142, is 44th. On the other end of the street, Miami is 88th, North Carolina 92nd (six spots behind Wofford), Boston College 104th, Virginia 108th and N.C. State 116th (two spots ahead of Appalachian State and four ahead of Western Carolina). Not the numbers for bragging rights when the debate of which

conference is best ensues.

STILL STRUGGLING Not only is North Carolina making costly mistakes in games, the Tar Heels (14-13, 3-9) are still having troubles in practice, coach Roy Williams said during his teleconference on Monday. “There’s two parts to this,” Williams said. “We’re not executing like we should be in practice and we’re definitely not taking what we learn on the practice court out onto the court on game night. “We’re having more repetitions, more repetitions. We told the guys learning is two parts. Part of it is having things taught to you and part of it is absorbing it and being able to do it out on the court with people watching. That is something we haven’t been able to do yet.”

HIGH POINT – East Davidson and T.W. Andrews’ boys like to score points in bunches. The Golden Eagles couldn’t hold up their end of the bargain Monday night. The Raiders caught fire from the tip-off, hitting nearly every shot they took, and ran by the Eagles 90-48 in the first round of the NCHSAA 2A playoffs. Leading 22-14 after eight minutes, the Raiders ex-

ploded for 31 points in the second quarter to take an insurmountable 53-26 lead at the half. East got no closer than 25 the rest of the way. Andrews (16-7) plays host to Forest Hills (14-11) in the second round on Wednesday at 7 p.m. Andrews coach James Abell didn’t have to say a whole lot about his team’s effort on both ends of the floor. “Making some shots early really fired us up,” Abell said. “The thing for us, we have to make shots so we can set up our defense.

If we don’t make shots, we can’t get everybody in the right position.” East coach Matt Jacobs, who prefers an up-tempo style, acknowledged the worst-case opening scenario in which his team couldn’t buy a bucket and Andrews couldn’t miss. “We just weren’t ready to play,” he said. “A coach’s job is to get his team to their full potential by the end of the season, and that was nowhere near our best.” Quan Stevenson drained four 3pointers in the first quarter to set

the tone, but East managed to keep it fairly close. Then the bottom fell out in the second quarter, as Torian Showers and Alex Smith scored 10 points apiece. The only question when the teams went to the locker room was the final margin. Stevenson finished with 20 points, and Mark Johnson led the way with 22. Smith finished with 12 and Showers ended the night with 10. Nick Lopez paced the Eagles (12-12) with 11 points, and Jess Dillard added 10.

HIT AND RUN

or years, Englishman Ian Poulter has turned heads with his flashy, flamboyant fashion sense. Supporters touted Poulter as the bestdressed man in golf. I always thought he dressed like Rodney Dangerfield’s character in “Caddyshack.” Whatever your fashion take, Poulter hit the links in bright-colored clothes, but rarely hit the jackpot in the biggest tournaments. One critic famously joked that Poulter

wore bright pink and yellow clothes to help him stand out every time he shanked a shot into the trees or deep rough at one of golf’s four majors. Poulter got no respect when it came to rating the world’s best. That may be changing. Well, the clothes are still way out there, but now, Poulter owns a big-time championship trophy to go with them. Poulter strutted his stuff in a 4-and-2 victory over fellow Englishman Paul Casey

in Sunday’s Match Play Championship in Marana, Ariz. It marked Poulter’s ninth career title. He played only 114 holes all week – only Tiger Woods with 112 holes in 2003 played fewer – and pocketed a cool $1.4 million for the biggest check of his career. That’ll buy a lot of groovy threads. Or something like that.

Cowgirl trio proves too much for Smith BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – For one quarter of Monday night’s playoff contest between Greensboro Smith and Sourthwest Guilford, it looked like the top-seeded Cowgirls were in for a dogfight. Things took a swift, decisive turn from there and Southwest was able to easily dispatch of the Eagles, 6143. Zena Lovette, Cheyenne Parker and Shanel Lawrence combined for 53 points and effectively shot Smith out of the building as the Cowgirls advanced to the second round of the NCHSAA 4A West playoffs. The Cowgirls opened the second quarter with three steals in less than

60 seconds to spark a game-breaking 11-1 run. Southwest outscored the Eagles 26-9 in the deciding quarter and led 37-20 at the half. “I changed my the full-court press to the half-court press and told them to close their traps to put pressure on their guards,” Southwest coach Jessica Bryan said of its second-quarter surge. “My girls did a pretty good job of reacting and converting those points.” An all-around dominant effort for the Cowgirls began with a swarming defense and was supplemented by the inside-out trio of Lovette, Lawrence and Parker. Lovette led all scorers with 22 points and Lawrence pitched in 17.

Parker altered the pace of the game on both ends of the floor with a monster game, scoring 14 points and 18 rebounds. Largely responsible for preventing Smith from getting second-chance opportunities on the glass, she also imposed her will as the dynamic low-post scorer she has been throughout the Cowgirls’ successful stretch run. “We out-hustled them in the post,” Parker said. “We set the tempo (in the first half). It got a little tough in the second half, but we maintained our poise.” The Cowgirls (20-6) will host Butler Wednesday night. Butler defeated North Davidson 100-80 in the first round.

Mustangs gallop past Red Raiders BY JASON QUEEN SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – Neither Andrews girls nor East Lincoln was crazy about their first-round matchup. At least the Mustangs got to enjoy their two-hour bus ride home. East Lincoln, at 22-5, was about as tough a draw as the Raiders could have imagined after claiming the No. 2 seed from the PAC-6 for the 2A state playoffs. Led by towering post player Lindsy Wright, the Mustangs cruised to a convincing 62-45 win in the playoff opener in High Point on Tuesday. The Raiders end their season at 9-13.

While disappointed with the loss, Andrews coach Weaver Walden was proud of the season his team enjoyed. “We fought extremely hard the second part of our season,” he said. “Just to be able to have a 2 seed in the playoffs is a real honor for us. “They’re a good basketball team (East Lincoln), they have a lot of talent, and that No. 31 (Wright) is tough. It was tough for us around the rim; our tallest kid’s 5-8.” The Mustangs (23-5) wasted little time establishing control. East Lincoln scored the first five points of the game, led 14-6 after one quarter and never seemed in jeopardy of letting

Andrews back in it. Wright scored eight of her 12 points by intermission to stake the visitors to a 25-14 edge at the break. Walden hoped to bring the Mustangs down to size by getting Wright into foul trouble, but the plan never worked out. And while she was dominating the paint, Kiandra Long caught fire from the perimeter. She used a steady dose of jump shots and drives to the basket en route to a game-high 28 points. Backcourt mate Akeyla Forney kicked in 13. Bria Byrd paced the Raiders with 23 points, and Elaina Skarote finished with 10.

Reidsville’s boys slip past Trinity. 48-46 BY STEVE WILLIAMS SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

REIDSVILLE – This matchup didn’t deserve to be a first-rounder in the sectionals. Trinity and Reidsville, two schools with proud basketball traditions and 20-5 records, squared off Monday night and the home-standing Rams prevailed 48-46 to move on to round two of Eastern Sectional 3.

“This playoff system’s a joke,” said Trinity coach Tim Kelly. “Two teams this good shouldn’t meet the first round of the sectional when you’ve got 2-18 teams in there.” Each team enjoyed six-point leads in the first half that ended with Reidsville on top 25-19 but the Bulldogs made their move in the third quarter and closed the gap to 32-30. Tyrell Houghton hit two free throws with 4.5 seconds left, the tie-breaker

hanging on the back of the rim before falling through to make it 47-46. The Bulldogs’ last chance ended when a long inbounds pass was tipped and intercepted. One more Reidsville free throw, their 13th of the fourth quarter, set the final margin with two seconds left. Reidsville travels to Cedar Ridge, an 80-61 victor over Louisburg, on Wednesday night.

McClenathan, Beckman earn NHRA wins CHANDLER, Ariz. (AP) – Top Fuel driver Cory McClenathan and Funny Car driver Jack Beckman picked up victories Monday at the weather-delayed NHRA Arizona Nationals, an event marred by the death of a fan at Firebird International Raceway a day earlier. A woman was killed Sunday by a tire that flew off the crashing dragster. More rain delayed the start of Monday’s final rounds.

McClenathan beat Doug Kalitta with a 3.183-second pass at a top speed of 316.67 mph. to Kalitta’s 4.736 at 219.67.

Chargers release Tomlinson SAN DIEGO (AP) – LaDainian Tomlinson was released Monday by the San Diego Chargers, ending a brilliant nine-year run in which he became one of the NFL’s greatest running backs. The move had been expected for some time. Tomlinson, who turned 30 last summer, was injured early in the 2009

season and finished with 730 yards on 223 carries for an average of 3.3 yards per carry, all career lows. Tomlinson was due a $2 million bonus in early March, which all but guaranteed he would be cut loose as his role diminished on a team that thrived with a pass-happy offense.

Tomlinson ranks eighth on the all-time rushing list with 12,490 yards. His 138 career rushing touchdowns rank second, and his 153 total touchdowns rank third. He was the NFL’s MVP in 2006, when he set NFL single-season records with 31 touchdowns and 186 points.

Fed: Recovery relies on low interest rates WASHINGTON (AP) – Record-low interest rates are still needed to foster the economic recovery and to relieve high unemployment, a Federal Reserve official said Monday. Janet Yellen, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, is the latest Fed official in recent days to stress that the central bank isn’t in any rush to boost borrowing costs for millions of Americans. The remarks come after the Fed took a surprise step Thursday and bumped up the rate banks pay for emergency loans. Despite a big growth spurt at the end of last year, the economic re-

Reader’s Digest exits bankruptcy PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. – The publisher of Reader’s Digest said Monday that it has emerged from bankruptcy protection with much less debt and a new board of directors. The Reader’s Digest Association Inc. was able to exit protection in about six months because it negotiated a prearranged reorganization plan with key lenders prior to entering bankruptcy court.

BoA takes on ex-Merrill execs CHARLOTTE – Bank of America Corp. said Monday that former Merrill Lynch executives Sam Chapin and Todd Kaplan are returning to serve as executive vice chairmen of its global banking operations. The two investment bankers have a long history with Merrill Lynch, which was purchased by Bank of America in January 2009. Chapin spent 26 years with Merrill, serving as a vice chairman and member of the executive client coverage group from 2003 to 2009. Kaplan logged 22 years at Merrill, where he was in charge of the global principal investments unit. He most recently served as the investment banking head at Citadel Investment Group.

Campbell Soup profits amid sluggish US sales HADDONFIELD, N.J. – Campbell Soup Co.’s second-quarter profit rose on cost controls and favorable exchange rates even as U.S. soup sales waned. The world’s largest soup maker said Monday that earnings climbed 11 percent to $259 million, or 74 cents per share. Campbell, whose products also include V8 juices, and Prego sauces, says sales increased 1 percent to $2.15 billion. U.S. soup sales fell 8 percent. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

bound is likely to slow later this year as benefits from the government stimulus plan fade, Yellen pointed out in a speech in San Diego. There’s a risk that the housing market could weaken again once a homebuyer tax credit expires this spring and after the Fed stops buying mortgage securities from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, she said. The Fed is on track to wrap up $1.25 trillion worth of those purchases by the end of March. The program has lowered mortgage rates and bolstered the housing market. Recession-scarred consumers and businesses are also likely to remain

cautious, restraining the recovery. And, that means unemployment – now at 9.7 percent – will probably remain “painfully high for years,” Yellen said. Against this backdrop, “This is not the time” to be tightening credit, Yellen said. Just hours after the Fed acted last Thursday, Dennis Lockhart, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, said the bump-up in the emergency lending rate to banks should not be viewed as a “a sign that a tightening is imminent.” The Fed portrayed Thursday’s action as a part of a broader move to pull back the extraor-

dinary aid it provided to fight the financial crisis and move its policies closer to normal now that financial conditions are improving. William Dudley, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, warned Friday that even though the economy is growing again “it’s far too early to pop the champagne corks.” Unemployment, he said, is “unacceptably high.” More insights into the Fed’s take on economic and financial conditions and its strategy to reel in stimulative aid provided during the crisis will likely come when Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke testifies on Capitol Hill this week.

Credit card rules take effect NEW YORK (AP) — Your next credit card statement is going to contain an ugly truth: how much that card really costs to use. Now, thanks to a longawaited law that goes into effect Monday, you’ll know that if you pay the minimum on a $3,000 balance with a 14 percent interest rate, it could take you 10 years to pay off. “Jaws will drop,” said David Robertson, publisher of The Nilson Report, a newsletter that tracks the industry. “I don’t doubt for a nanosecond that it’s going to give a lot of people a sinking feeling in their stomachs.” That’s not all that will make them queasy. During the past nine months, credit card companies jacked up interest rates, created new fees and cut credit lines. They also closed down millions of accounts. So a law hailed as the most sweeping piece of consumer legislation in decades has helped make it more difficult for millions of Americans to get credit, and made that credit more expensive.

In this April 2006 photo, credit card signs are posted outside a New York parking garage. It wasn’t supposed to be this way. The law that President Barack Obama signed last May shields card users from sudden interest rate hikes, excessive fees and other gimmicks that card companies have used to drive up profits. Consumers will save at least $10 billion a year from curbs on interest rate increases alone, according to the Pew Charitable Trust, which tracks credit card issues. But there was a catch. Card companies had nine months to prepare while

certain rules were clarified by the Federal Reserve. They used that time to take actions that ended up hurting the same customers who were supposed to be helped. Consumer advocates say the law still offers important protections for the users of some 1.4 billion credit cards. “We expected some rate increases; we expected some annual fees,” said Ed Mierzwinski of the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, an advocacy organization that lobbied for the law.

Cuts, sales boost Lowe’s NEW YORK (AP) — Quarterly earnings at Lowe’s Cos. rose for the first time since 2007, a 27 percent fourth-quarter increase fueled by rising demand for appliances and cost cutting. The No. 2 home-improvement retailer also said Monday that it expects sales to rise this year as the long-suffering housing market and broader economy recover. Still, a snowy February kept Lowe’s cautious about the first-quarter outlook. At Lowe’s, sales at stores open at least one

year fell 1.6 percent, the smallest drop in 3 1/2 years. The measure is considered a key gauge of a retailer’s financial health because it measures sales at existing stores rather than newly opened ones. “During the quarter, we saw sequential improvement in bigger ticket projects and above average (sales in stores open at least one year) in our specialty sales area of installed and special order sales,” said CEO Robert A. Niblock in a call with investors. “We view this as an encouraging sign

regarding consumer’s willingness to take on larger, more discretionary products. There is still a “psychological impact” of consumers’ worries about falling home prices and unemployment, he said, but overall, “the economic outlook is much better than a year ago.” Quarterly profit rose 27 percent to $205 million, or 14 cents per share, from $162 million, or 11 cents per share last year, ahead of the 12 cents per share analysts polled by Thomson Reuters, on average, expected.

Shakira meets with Obama at White House

The open letter that was sent to Toyota owners is displayed in the visitor center at the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky plant in Georgetown, Ky., on Feb. 18.

Toyota gets grand jury subpoena NEW YORK (AP) – Federal prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into Toyota’s safety problems, the company acknowledged Monday as it prepared to answer questions on Capitol Hill about its widespread vehicle recalls. The Japanese automaker said it received a subpoena from a federal grand jury in New York seeking documents related to unintended acceleration in its vehicles and the braking system of its Prius hybrid. Toyota also said it re-

DILBERT

ceived a subpoena and a voluntary document request from the Los Angeles office of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC is seeking documents related to unintended acceleration as well as to its disclosure policies and practices, Toyota said. The subpoenas are the latest demand for documentation from Toyota Motor Corp. Over the weekend, the company turned over documents to congressional investigators, with some boasting

it saved money by obtaining a limited recall from regulators in 2007. The documents could create a big challenge for Toyota President Akio Toyoda, who is scheduled to testify at a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday. Two House committees are holding hearings this week on the Japanese automaker’s recall of 8.5 million vehicles since the fall to deal with safety problems involving gas pedals, floor mats and brakes.

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama and pop superstar Shakira are talking about U.S. policy toward children. Obama and the Colombian entertainer met briefly Monday at the White House after she had meetings with s t a f f from the National Security Council and the Domestic Policy Shakira Council to talk about early childhood development. A White House official, speaking only on condition of anonymity because the meeting was not on the president’s public schedule, says Shakira stopped by to say hello privately to Obama when the meetings ended. Shakira is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and has been an advocate for children in poverty.

“Captain EO,” the classic musical spectacular that thrilled Disneyland guests from 1986 to 1997, opened on Tuesday at Disneyland park.

‘Captain EO’ returns to Disney ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) – “Captain EO” and Michael Jackson are returning to Disneyland. The park says it will show the 1986 Jackson musical film beginning Tuesday and running indefinitely. On the Disney Parks blog, Disney executive Heather Hust Rivera says the park will show a 70mm print of the 17minute movie in the Tomorrowland theater, with enhanced sound.

However, Rivera says the showing won’t feature some special effects from the original presentation. She would not elaborate. The original presentation included lasers and smoke. Jackson, who died last year, plays the role of a spaceship captain who uses love and music to fight a wicked witch queen played by Anjelica Huston. The original ran at Disneyland from 1986-1997.

Child services visits Sheen home LOS ANGELES (AP) – A publicist says child services workers went to the home of Charlie sheen this weekend for a routine visit. Sheen’s publicist Stan Rosenfield says the visit was a previously scheduled, procedural visit. He

declined to discuss specifics or how Sheen’s children are doing. Sheen T h e visit was connected to a pending

felony domestic violence case in Aspen, Colo., against the “Two and a Half Men” star. The child services department says it can’t confirm that workers went to Sheen’s home or that there is any case involving the actor.
