THOMASVILLE – For the second year, the Archdale City Council focused on promoting its city Thursday night during its retreat at Colonial Country Club in Thomasville. At last year’s retreat, the City Council established a vision statement that is currently posted on the city’s Web site. This year, the City Council used the opening session to share ideas and brainstorm toward creating ways for Archdale to market itself and the vision statement. Jeff Wells, the city’s planning director, started the discussion by telling the City Council that the city could use Facebook or Twitter to get the word out about the city. Archdale also could partner with local colleges and universities to find ways

‘If we don’t do anything to promote ourselves, we are going to be a city of gas stations on the interstate.’ Tim Williams City council member to better market the city, Wells said. As part of the Thursday night session, the City Council organized into three groups to complete an exercise that identified the city’s top strengths and ways the city can turn those strengths into marketing strategies for Archdale. Strengths indentified by City Council members included the city’s competitive tax rate, transportation, the affordability of Randolph Community College and Creekside Park’s new disc golf course. City Council members said Archdale could better market itself by partnering with the Randolph County Economic Development Commission, the Piedmont Triad Partnership and the Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Commerce. In addition to using Facebook and Twitter, members also agreed the city should improve its Web site, which Councilman Tim Williams said was a “big priority.” “I think it needs to be professionally done,” Williams said. Councilman Eddie Causey suggested that the city could promote its businesses by posting a list of them on the Web site. Other City Council members suggested the city come up with a logo to market Archdale. Councilman Trey Gray said it was important to develop a logo that was marketable for the city, which many members

Michael Westerfield, corporate director of recycling programs at Dart Container Corp., puts a bag of foam cups into machine, which will compress them into a foam block.

Officials herald opening of recycling site BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

RANDLEMAN – Dart Container of North Carolina on Thursday opened what is believed to be one of the state’s first foam recycling centers during a ceremony at its facility in Randleman. “Anywhere we have a footprint in the country, we wanted to make sure we opened up a collection site,” said Michael Westerfield, Dart Container corporate director of recycling programs. Tillman “Once we start a program like this, it really takes a life of its own.” The free drop-off site, Dart Container’s 13th recycling site in the country, allows residents, businesses and organizations to recycle foam with a No. 6 on it. Items that can be dropped off at the site include foam cups, plates, takeout containers, egg cartons, and shaped and molded foam often

The block in front of the bag is what 30 pounds of foam cups looks like after compression. used to package electronics. The new site, located at Dart Container’s 3219 Wesleyan Road facility in Randleman, will divert foam from area landfills and allow it to be recycled into new products, such as picture frames and moldings. “The idea is tremendous when

you can take your throwaway stuff, your foam and all of that, and they recycle it and make products with it,” said state Sen. Jerry Tillman, R-Randolph, who was among several elected officials to attend the ceremony Thursday. Westerfield said the opening of foam recycling center is significant because the site will extend the life of landfills and also could bring more jobs to Dart Container’s facility in Randleman, which currently employs 282. The recycling center will be open to the public 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday. “We are going to need people to process this foam,” Westerfield said. “Hopefully, it motivates others just to get involved in the program, too. Every new job collecting material, when it comes to recycling, generates 26 other jobs down the line.” According to its Web site, Dart Container has 13 facilities across the nation. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Change in store for ACES Officials consolidate two local after-school programs ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – The AfterSchool Care Enrichment Services program at Union Hill Elementary School will be combined with the program at Triangle Lake Montessori on March 22 to save money. School district officials also decided this week to combine the Bessemer Elementary program with the one at Falkener Elementary. The Bessemer and Union Hill programs will continue to operate through March 19. The Guilford County Board of Education approved the changes last April to ACES programs with low enrollment to save money. Last month, The ACES programs

anticipated slow recovery of lost jobs in the Piedmont Triad, said Jean Reece, ACES director. “The global economic downturn and rising unemployment in our community have resulted in fewer families needing, or being able to afford, after-school care for their children,” Reece said. “The consolidations allow us to use our limited program funds more effectively and are necessary to ensure the success of ACES.” Parents have been grateful that their children can continue in the program with more students of their own age, Reece said. “Falkener and Triangle Lake are excited to welcome these new ACES students, and we know the transition will be smooth,” Reece said.

Davidson Democrats get into election game BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Davidson County Democrats have taken steps this week to ensure several key elections won’t go uncontested this fall. Up until Wednesday, only one Democratic candidate had filed in Davidson County – state Rep. Hugh Holliman, D-Davidson and House majority leader. But this week six Democrats

On Thursday, Tommy Evans Jr., a retired law enforcement officer with more than 30 years of experience in criminal justice, filed for sheriff.

sembly in 1968, Soles is the state’s longest continuously serving lawmaker. Joe Cheshire, an attorney representing Soles, said his client will serve the remainder of his term. Cheshire has said his client was acting in self-defense when he shot Thomas Kyle Blackburn. “He did feel like his house was under attack and he was under attack,” Cheshire said. The felony charge would have carried up to two years and seven months in prison if Soles, with a previously clean criminal record, had been convicted at trial.

Senator pleads guilty to misdemeanor WHITEVILLE (AP) – North Carolina’s longest-serving lawmaker won’t serve jail time after pleading guilty Thursday to misdemeanor assault for shooting a former client in a case that earlier had been deemed a felony. Columbus County Superior Court Judge D. Jack Hooks accepted the guilty plea from Sen. R.C. Soles, DColumbus, and fined Soles $1,000. Soles had been indicted last month on a felony assault charge. The state constitution would have disqualified Soles from public office had he been convicted of a felony. First elected to the General As-

Four Republicans, including incumbent David Grice and former sheriff Gerald Hege, have filed as well. Jeff Switzer, Jason Hedrick and Ronald Swicegood filed Thursday as Democrats for the Board of Commissioners, while Democrat Phil Olshinski filed Wednesday. Ten Republicans have filed to run for the four commissioner seats on the ballot in the fall general election. Gary James Bowers filed as a Democratic candidate for Davidson County Register of Deeds on Thursday. Incumbent Republican David Rickard filed earlier this month. In Guilford County, attorney Joseph D. “Joe” Floyd filed Thursday for the Superior Court seat in Judicial District 18D. Floyd has practiced law for the last 15 years with his father, Joe D. Floyd Sr., and his sister, Kimberly H. Floyd, in Guilford and surrounding counties. The party primaries are May 4, with the general election Nov. 2.

“It will not affect his political career in the state Senate in any way or his license as a lawyer in any way,” Cheshire said. Authorities said Soles shot Blackburn, 22, after two intruders kicked in the front door of the lawmaker’s secluded Tabor City home last August. Blackburn wasn’t badly hurt. After the incident, Blackburn filed an affidavit asking prosecutors not to charge Soles with a crime. Attorney General Roy Cooper’s office handled Soles’ prosecution after the local district attorney stepped aside because of his long ties to the powerful lawmaker.

liams said. At the end of the discussion, the City Council agreed to look into creating a professionally done logo for the city first and potentially hiring a “communications” employee, as well as getting more involved with the three economic development agencies. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Lawmaker apologizes for remarks in speech RALEIGH (AP) – A Republican state senator apologized on Thursday after a newspaper reported that he made comments about gay and black influence in Raleigh. The controversy started when the Statesville Record & Landmark reported that Sen. Jim

Forrester told a GOP gathering on Tuesday that “slick city lawyers and homosexual lobbies and African-American lobbies are running Raleigh,” a reference to state government. On Thursday, the Gaston Gazette reported on Forrester’s apology. “I wasn’t trying to be

leigh is liberal,” he said. Forrester said he didn’t intend to offend AfricanAmericans or gays and hopes those who were hurt by the remark will accept his apology. “I didn’t mean to be mean-spirited, he said. “I’m really a mild-mannered person, and I didn’t mean to offend anybody.”

US economic strategy now is to hope for a miracle In this time of economic distress and uncertainty, the best investment you can make is the most basic – food. Recently, President Obama has been reassuring America that the worst of the recession is over and a second Great Depression is no longer a concern. His positive spin is reminiscent of Enron executives assuring their employees that Enron was a solid investment right up to the day the company went bust. President Obama’s company, the United States, is bankrupt and is borrowing and printing money to pay its bills. Our leaders may be oblivious to reality or they may simply be blowing smoke and hoping for a miracle. What they are not doing is acting responsibly, cutting spending and demonstrating to the world that America is getting its fiscal house in order. Creditors have caught on to the fraud. China sold $34 billion of U.S. Treasury securities in December and Japan sold $11 billion. Clearly our largest creditors no longer find America a good credit risk. The result of the Federal Reserve putting trillions more dollars into circulation will be the collapse of the dollar’s value. It could be a relatively gradual process through accelerating in-

Perhaps it’s time for a DAV office in High Point

John Wesley College begins T new era erving as president of a college with an enrollment of less than 150 that is struggling financially is one of the toughest jobs in High Point. Just ask Brian Donley, who retired after serving two decades as president in 2008. Ask Joel Key, the retired Methodist minister and former chairman of the board of trustees at JWC, who served the last 18 months as interim president. That’s why Larry D. McCullough, who becomes the college’s ninth president March 1, is going to need all the support the board, the JWC faculty, staff, students and alumni and the greater High Point community can muster. The charter reads “1932,” but John Wesley College’s roots can be traced to May 1903 and Greensboro Bible and Literary College. Among the college’s names were The Apostolic Holiness University (1913), People’s Bible School (after the college closed in 1931 and was reborn in 1932), People’s Bible College (1949) before it became John Wesley College (1956) and moved to its present campus in 1980. McCullough vowed Feb. 22 “to achieve the best possible results by doing the right things at the right time” at the college that offers associates degrees, bachelor’s degrees, and a five-year Bachelor of Theology concentration through its Bible/theology, general education and professional education divisions. We wish McCullough and all the John Wesley College folks the best as this new journey begins.

God and a record of their theological insights and reflections. The Bible has challenging passages that reflect the theology of the authors more than the nature and character of God. We must study Scripture critically, analyzing the historical context and the complex ways the biblical texts came together. The Bible should not be worshiped or mindlessly followed. God gave us the capacity to reason and expects us to engage our minds, hearts, conscience and personal experience in the discernment of Scripture and the pursuit of faith. We should always be open to new revelation and understanding. We should recognize that science is an instrument of God’s truth. Forty years of science have led to a consensus that same-gender attraction is not a disorder but rather a naturally occurring and, for the most part, unchangeable variation of sexuality and does no harm to individuals or society. It has existed in all races

he Disabled American Veterans (DAV) organization has an office located in Greensboro at the railway depot on E. Washington Street. This office is staffed by all volunteers, and they are there to help veterans with claims and other benefits veterans might be entitled to receive. We would like very much to open a DAV office in High Point soon because the Greensboro office has reached the point of “work overload.” We will need volunteers to work here. I hope people in High Point will give some thought to volunteering some of their extra time toward helping veterans. The DAV is a nonprofit organization made up of more than 1.3 million U.S. American veterans who suffered some degree of disability while serving in time of war or armed conflict. The DAV was founded in 1920 and chartered by the U.S. Congress. It is dedicated to a single purpose of building betters lives for disabled veterans and their families. Thanks to The High Point Enterprise for a wonderful evening of great music presented by the United States Air Force Heritage of America Band. There was a full house at the High Point Theatre to enjoy the wide selection of music. I like John Philip Sousa’s music, and the band did play “Stars and Stripes Forever.” The band also played music written by Gershwin, Hammerstein/Rodgers and Berlin. Staff Sgt. Lacey Stokes played Artie Shaw’s Clarinet Concerto. All seniors remember this music and she played so well. Stokes earned a bachelor of music degree at Ohio University. Lt. Rafael Toro-Quinones is the conductor, and the band’s home base is Langley Air Force Base, Va. We enjoyed this so much. Maybe in the near future, the United States Marine Corps Band and the United States Army Band will come to High Point or the Triad. It would be a great opportunity for our area to enjoy the music of military bands. All military band members are great musicians, and they play a wide variety of music.

If you need transportation to Veterans Affairs medical clinics, call (336) 510-7508. DAV Chapter No. 20 has vans that go to Durham, Salisbury and WinstonSalem clinics. This is free service for veterans. The VETERAN’S trips are paid for from the funds of the DAV organizaVIEWS tion. Veterans needing the service should try to give Stan the DAV a few days notice Spangle Sr. before your appointment ■■■ time. This should not be a problem since the VA notifies you in plenty of time prior to your appointment time. I want to mention that the VA’s pension program is targeted at veterans who served this country during wartime but have “fallen into” poverty. The same program is there for widows of veterans. The VA program is called “disability pension,” but this is a bit misleading because the person does not have to be disabled to receive a pension. The program provides a monthly check to veterans or widows of veterans age 65 or older to bring their income up to a certain level. A veteran can have an income of $10,579 per year and qualify. Widows of veterans can have an income of $7,094 per year. If these people are homebound or in need of extra assistance, they can qualify for more benefit funds. Gordon Croft, a veteran of the Korean War, had his income jump from $6,816 a year to $12,564 when he qualified for this program. He suffers from arthritis, emphysema, osteoporosis and other conditions. Remember there are certain requirements, and if you are a veteran or a widow of a veteran, you will want to check this out. The VA toll-free number is (800) 827-1000. God bless America and all other nations. Semper Fi. STAN SPANGLE SR. is a 21-year veteran of the Marine Corps, serving in Korea and Vietnam. He’s a member of numerous veterans organizations.

Missile kills Pakistani Taliban leader ISLAMABAD – A Pakistani Taliban commander wanted in the deadly 2006 bombing of the U.S. consulate in Karachi was killed in a suspected CIA missile strike in northwest Pakistan, officials said Thursday – the latest blow in a crackdown on militants in the region. Mohammed Qari Zafar was among at least 13 people killed Wednesday when three missiles slammed into a compound and a vehicle in the Dargah Mandi area of the North Waziristan tribal region on the border with Afghanistan, two Pakistani intelligence officials said.

Sunni party will contest Iraq vote BAGHDAD – A prominent Sunni lawmaker announced Thursday that his party would participate in parliamentary elections, less than a week after pulling it from the race. The decision effectively lifts the lingering threat that minority Sunnis would boycott the vote, which the U.S. hopes will bolster national reconciliation efforts and pave the way for American combat forces to go home.

Small plane crashes in Peru, killling seven LIMA, Peru – Peruvian officials say a small plane has crashed near the famed ancient geoglyphs known as the Nazca Lines, killing all seven on board. Local airport chief Enrique Gamboa says the Cessna 206 was carrying three Chileans and four Peruvians. The plane went down Thursday inside the tourism zone in Peru’s dry coastal desert, where indigenous groups etched mysterious figures in the sand centuries ago.

MARJAH, Afghanistan (AP) – When U.S. Marines find suspicious powder that could be made into a bomb, they probe it with sophisticated tests. Afghan soldiers have their own method – they taste it. The operation against the Taliban in Marjah has been a major trial for the Afghan military, showing the army is still far from capable of operating on its own. But its soldiers appear to be improving – even if they don’t always do things by the book. When soldiers taste the white powder, for example, they are testing to see if it is salty, an attribute of ammonium nitrate, a main ingredient in roadside bombs. And they do it even though they have access to the U.S. testing methods.

Afghans make up about 2,000 of the 6,000 troops fighting in the southern town, with thousands more operating in the surrounding Nad Ali district – the biggest Afghan contribution to an offensive of the eight-year war. They’ve searched houses, identified suspected Taliban, helped detect bombs.

Italian oil slick reaches key farm center ROME – Sludge from an oil spill snaked down the Po River on Thursday to reach the province of Parma, raising fears that the home of Italy’s famed prosciutto, parmesan cheese and other agricultural staples might be at risk of water contamination. Italian farm lobby Coldiretti insisted Italy’s food chain was safe since the Po is not being used for irrigation these days. But another group of farm owners, Confagricultura, warned that the spring planting season – particularly for water-intensive rice crops – might be at risk unless clean water is ensured.

Fire kills 21 in Bangladesh factory DHAKA, Bangladesh – A fire raced through a sweater factory near the Bangladeshi capital late Thursday, killing at least 21 people and injuring dozens more, officials and television reports said. Fire fighter official Abdur Rashid told The Associated Press by phone from the scene that rescuers recovered dozens of victims from the six-story building, which was engulfed in flames. Twentytwo of them were either “critically injured” or dead, he said.

India, Pakistan officials hold first talks NEW DELHI – India and Pakistan held their first official talks Thursday since the 2008 Mumbai siege, with both sides saying they wanted to rebuild trust shattered in that attack but acknowledging that the meeting was just a first step toward a renewed peace process. The four-hour meeting between the nucleararmed rivals ranged from shared water resources to the status of the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir. But terrorism was the focus of the discussions – an emphasis Pakistan quickly made clear would only slow further talks.

Court frees ex-Navy, Air Force chiefs ANKARA, Turkey – Prosecutors released the former chiefs of the navy and air force and another top general late Thursday without immediately charging them with being involved in an alleged coup plot to overthrow the Islamic-rooted government, saying they were unlikely to flee. Twenty current and former senior officers, including five admirals and three generals, have been formally charged with plotting several years ago to topple Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government, and ordered held in jail.

World Relief of High Point holds appreciation dinner BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – One of the largest hurdles for refugees who relocate to the states from countries filled with war and oppression is to find employment when they arrive. World Relief of High Point held an employer appreciation dinner Thursday night for companies in the Triad that employ refugees who have come to the U.S. through the organization. “The employers are so important to us, and we couldn’t do what we do without a place to send our refugees to work,” said Jenny Carson, employment specialist for the organization. “So we wanted to have a time to show appreciation for them.” Aramark Food Services at High Point University received World Relief’s 2009 Employer of the Year at the event. Aramark has 36 refugees employed through the campus’ food services. Blaire Areaux, retail operations manager for the university’s food services,

said she would encourage other employers to hire refugees as well. “We’ve found them to be extremely hard working and reliable,” she said. “I think refugees are often overlooked and equated with illegal aliens even though their immigration status is completely different. I think it’s important to give them a chance to get their feet on the ground.” Other employers invited to the event were Perdue, Swatchcraft, and High Point Regional Hospital. The children of several refugee families sang songs from their native country, Burma, at the event. The children represented two different ethnic groups in Burma - Karenn and Karenni. Burmese, Iraqi and other ethnic foods also were served. Mark Kadel, director for the organization said finding employment was a crucial aspect for refugees who had been through devastating situations. Often, refugees hold established careers such as a doctor or a lawyer in their native countries but

Officials approve naming gym for Raybon BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – School district officials gave first round approval Thursday to naming the auxiliary gymnasium at Ragsdale High School for the man who spent the better part of 40 years there. After no one offered an alternative name, the Board of Education voted 10-0 to post for public comment for 30 days naming the gym for retired veteran coach and ath-

letic director Mike Raybon. Raybon, 68, spent 43 years with Guilford County Schools, 34 of them at Ragsdale where he became one of the state’s most influential figures in high school wrestling. School officials and Tiger fans surprised Raybon, who was organizing a wrestling tournament Thursday in Greensboro, with the nomination earlier in the school year during a celebration of the school’s 50th anniversary. Raybon was one of the leaders who consolidated the State Wrestling Tournament

to one site with competitions in each classification, making the tournament one of the largest in the Southeast. The nomination letter from the school booster club credits Raybon with “walking the extra mile, be it for school, community or state needs.” A member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, Raybon’s teams won three state championshíps in wrestling. He has directed numerous 3A state wrestling tournaments as well as approximately

300 local, sectional, regional, and invitational wrestling tournaments. During his career, Raybon was physical education and special education teacher. He also taught social studies. As a coach, he instructed students in several team and individual sports. Raybon also helped plan and organize the Jamestown Youth League and also coached numerous teams. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Judge denies request to postpone murder trial Inside...

Mental competency still an issue. 3B

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A judge has denied a South Carolina man’s request to delay his first-degree murder trial in a case that originated with a fatal shooting at a southeast High Point house more than five years ago. In an order filed Wednesday, Superior Court Judge

Ronald E. Spivey of Forsyth County declined to continue the March 22 trial date for RobWilliams ert Demetrius Williams, one of six people from Bennettsville, S.C., charged and the first to stand trial in the Oct. 22, 2004, death of Anthony Briggman Jr. at 707 Hines St. in an apparent drug-related robbery that went bad. In motions argued last week, Williams’ court-appointed attorney, Barry Snyder of Greensboro,

also asked for state funds to hire a psychological expert to evaluate his client’s competency, claiming that he had exhibited signs of mental illness. Spivey declined the request, noting that Williams, 21, underwent a court-appointed examination at a state hospital in December 2009 in which he was found competent to stand trial. Experts there determined Williams had the ability to work with his lawyer in preparing a defense and that his purported symptoms of mental illness were “contrived

or knowingly fabricated,” the order stated. Williams’ trial has been delayed several times since his 2006 arrest at the request of the defense, most recently in October 2009 when a judge ordered him evaluated after he appeared in court the day his trial was scheduled to begin and said he was “hearing voices.” Spivey granted another motion from Snyder for additional state money to hire an investigator, approving up to $1,000 despite the fact that another judge granted $2,500 for the same purpose in July

2008. The order noted that Snyder apparently was seeking an investigator to examine the same issue he did two years ago: a possible alibi defense for Williams. Spivey issued another order requiring the defendant to give notice of a defense of “alibi, duress, entrapment, insanity, mental infirmity, diminished capacity, self-defense, accident, automatism, involuntary intoxication or voluntary intoxication” and to disclose the identity of any potential alibi witnesses to the state. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Judge denies request. 1B

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A judge’s order brought some clarity to Robert Williams’ case, but didn’t settle one issue – his mental competency. The ruling granted funds for an expert to help defense attorneys with a possible competency hearing for Williams. Judge Ronald Spivey allowed the expenditure of up to $2,500 for an expert witness to assist in three areas – to potentially testify at a hearing and to assist in interpreting psychological information and preparing mitigating evidence for purposes of trial. Spivey determined that such a hearing will be required by statute. Williams’ attorney, Barry Snyder, has argued in motions and in court that Williams has exhibited bizarre behavior that calls his competency into question. In court documents, Snyder claimed that, while he was with his family in Bennettsville, S.C., last month, Williams told his sister “the High Point jail had put chips into his head� that could be activated at a hospital and enable jailers “to come after him.� At one point, Williams wandered from his sister’s home and was found 12 miles away, walking

along a highway “with a large staff like the Bible character Moses� with no clothing except “a shirt wrapped around his groin area in such a way as to imitate the dress of an-

Williams was found walking along a highway “with a large staff like the Bible character Moses� with no clothing except “a shirt wrapped around his groin area. cient Egyptians,� Snyder claimed. His family had Williams committed to a psychiatric hospital. At a hearing last week, prosecutors argued that a state hospital’s diagnosis that Williams was malingering indicated that he is competent and that he had faked psychotic behavior to avoid going to trial. The victim in the case, 22-year-old Anthony Briggman, was from Central Islip, N.Y. Another person, Terrence Dennis Tyson, was wounded by gunfire in the same incident but survived. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

THE HISTORY OF BREAD

Making your own white bread is simple. Follow the directions below to make your own bread! You must use an oven to make the bread, so ask an adult for permission and help with this recipe!

You will need: 1 pound white bread our, 1 1/4 cup water, 1 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 1/4 teaspoon yeast, 2 teaspoons sugar, oil, extra our for sticky hands Step One: Place all the ingredients, except the water and extra our into a large bowl and mix it. Step Two: After the mixture of dry ingredients is well mixed, slowly add the water as you continue to stir it. It may be easiest to use your hands to continue mixing as you add the water. Mix it for an additional 5 minutes after all water is added. Step Three: Now it is time to knead the dough! This is the process of folding the dough over and over again, which creates lots of invisible pockets that capture air. When the yeast rises, these pockets help the dough become leavened. Place some of your extra our on a clean counter or cutting board and add some our to your hands as well. Knead the dough for 10 minutes. Step Four: Divide the dough into two separate pieces and place them on an oiled baking sheet. If you have a bread tin or another shaped pan you would like to use, you can use it. Just be sure to oil it! Step Five: Now you will need to place the dough with a wet tea towel or paper towel over the pan in a dark, dry place (like the microwave, just be sure not to turn it on with the pan inside it), for 2 hours. This allows the dough time to rise and lets the yeast do its job! Step Six: After the dough has rised, you will place it in an oven that is preheated to 450 degreed for 30 to 40 minutes. It all depends on the oven, so check the bread after about 30 minutes. When the top is golden brown it is cooked! Allow it to cool some before eating.

Bread is perhaps one of the most ancient of items still essential TYPES OF BREAD WORD SEARCH in daily life today. Wheat, which is used in the production of bread, Circle the words hidden in the puzzle below. has been consumed by human beings since before any records were kept; wheat is even more ancient than the people of ancient Mesopotamia. Bread can be leavened or unleavened, meaning whether or not yeast is added to it to make it rise. Unleavened bread would be more like what we know today as a cracker, or pita. It holds great religious signiďŹ cance in many cultures and is still popular today. The most commonly consumed bread today is leavened bread. Yeast, which causes the bread to rise, was discovered in Ancient Egypt. Before they knew what yeast was, in order to make the bread rise, a piece from yesterday’s dough was kept out and placed in the current day’s dough. The old piece of dough made the bread rise. Today, we know that this worked because the old dough began to grow yeast. The older dough gave the bread a distinct avor, which we know today as sour dough bread. Ancient cultures also learned how to make beer from the hops found in breads. The practices perfected in Egypt were passed to the Greeks, Romans, and to the rest of the world. There are many different types of bread: rye, wheat, white, pumHidden Words: pernickel, sourdough, etc. The type of bread is based largely on Arepa, Bagel, Baguette, Biscuit, Brioche, Challah, Ciathe type of our used.

In ancient and Victorian times, white bread was considered to be of higher quality and was more desirable. Find your way through the maze to the mufďŹ n. The whiter your bread, the higher up in the social ladder you tended to be. Today, darker breads are more costly.

Steroid inhalers decrease asthma attacks

D

ear Dr. Donohue: My daughter started smoking as a teen. Twenty years later, she developed asthma. Two years ago, she stopped smoking and her asthma worsened. The doctor gave her steroid inhalers, and she gained an enormous amount of weight. I am concerned about her. Can you tell me about alternative medicines? Or breathing exercises? – J.H.

BLONDIE

Your daughter is an exception to the rule. Stopping smoking improves asthma for most patients. Even if she feels that she was better off smoking, she wasn’t. The dual insults of smoking and asthma are too great a burden for anyone’s lungs. For asthma treatment, steroids are drugs of the cortisone family. Cortisone drugs are the most potent anti-inflammatory medicines available. In asthma, airways (bronchi) are inflamed and produce thick mucus, which obstructs the inflow of air to the lungs and the outflow of air from the lungs. Steroid inhalers have been a boon to asthmatics. The side effects of steroids are minimized when they’re delivered by an inhaler. I checked five steroid inhalers for mention of weight gain and couldn’t find it listed for any of them. Weight gain is a side effect of

orally administered steroids. I’m not positive that her weight gain is due to them. I’d HEALTH hate to see her stop Dr. Paul using them. Donohue She would ■■■ be losing one of the most effective treatments for asthma control. However, other medicines do exist. She should have a talk with her doctor about making a change if she wants to. Singulair, Accolate and Zileuton are effective asthma drugs, and they are not steroids. I haven’t mentioned all the possible asthma medicines. Asthmatics are encouraged to be as physically active as they can be. Breathing exercises are not likely to make a big impact on asthma control. Dear Dr. Donohue: Is short-term memory loss dementia? My husband has it, but he is still sweet, loves to paint and acts normal 99 percent of the time. I put him in a nursing home, but I feel I did so too soon. How do you know when a person should go into a nursing home? – L.D. A degree of short-term memory loss happens to everyone who lives long enough. It’s the kind of

forgetting that makes us unable to recall where we put the keys, what we saw on TV last night or makes us struggle to remember a person’s name. Serious memory loss is much more profound. It’s the kind of memory loss that makes a person forget the way home, makes it impossible to recognize close family members and makes it difficult to carry out normal daily activities, like dressing. Other signs of dementia are slow thinking, the inability to learn and the inability to do simple arithmetic, like balancing a checkbook. Personality changes often are part of dementia. When is the optimum time to arrange for care of an impaired spouse or relative? When the affected person cannot take care of himself or herself, and is a danger to himself or herself and when the caregiver cannot provide the kind of required basic care necessary for that person’s needs. The decision can be made with the help of experts – doctors who can test people for their mental functioning and their need for constant assistance. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

Women don costumes at last year’s Castle Carnevale at Castle McCulloch.

‘Mardi Gras of the Carolinas’ Castle Carnevale promises a colorful, spirited and fiery affair BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

J

AMESTOWN – When you consider the lineup of entertainment for Castle Carnevale, the festival’s nickname – “The Mardi Gras of the Carolinas” – sounds about right. From fire dancers and bawdy pirates to a jazz band, daring aerialists and burlesque dancers – surrounded by a multitude of costumed revelers – the sixth annual Castle Carnevale will give the grounds of Jamestown’s Castle McCulloch a distinctive Mardi Gras flavor. “It took a little while for people to understand what the concept was,” says Patika Starr, who serves as Castle Carnevale director and lines up entertainment for the festival. “But when we came up with ‘Mardi Gras of the Carolinas’ and started using that catch phrase, we got a lot more people because they understood what it was about.” In addition to music from the Firecracker Jazz Band, the festival will include a number of what might be considered “fringe acts” – acts you’re not likely to find at your run-of-themill street festival. Among those acts are: • The Carolina Black Flaggers, a spirited group of pirate re-enactors who perform and lead revelers in a series of bawdy drinking games. • Unifire Theatre, an Ashevillebased troupe that blends theater with fire arts such as spinning, juggling, breathing fire and eating fire. Among other things, the troupe will perform a firethemed version of “Cinderella.” • Zany Umbrella Circus, a twowoman team of aerialists who will perform aerial silks, aerial trapeze and aerial hoops. • The Three Graces Entertainment, a female dance troupe that will present a Charleston cabaret show representative of

whose “Living Brush” body paintings have been a popular attraction at the annual Burning Man Festival in Nevada. • Tasuma, a drum troupe that plays traditional and original instrumental West African music. • Musician Rob Reiser, who will serenade audience members with his acoustic guitar and original, very naughty medieval ballads. In keeping with the Mardi Gras theme, those who attend Castle Carnevale are strongly encouraged to wear costumes – and they do. “People dress up to the hilt – they really go all out with their costumes,” Starr says. “The costumes are what some people come to see as much as the entertainment. It’s always a lot of fun.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

The Junior League of High Point will sponsor its annual Kids in the Kitchen program – part of a nationwide education initiative on childhood obesity and nutrition – on March 6. The event will be held from 10 a.m. until noon at the Millis Regional Health Education Center, 600 N. Elm St. The event targets children in kindergarten through fifth grade, and admission is free. Registration is required by today, and space is limited. To register, contact the Junior League at 889-5479 or via e-mail at info@ jlhp.org. The program is designed to raise awareness and help reverse the growth of childhood obesity and its associated health issues. “Our goal is to encourage children to make healthy decisions through proper nutrition, exercise and good hygiene in their everyday lives,” says Donna Braswell-Bray, chairwoman of Kids in the Kitchen. “The event is a combination of hands-on, fun activities that make a lifelong impact on children’s lives.” There will be three stations: • Reading, dancing and singing with Roosevelt Pitt and Mshindo Kuumba, creators of “Food Adventures with Charles the Chef,” a book created to help children develop good eating habits. • Food safety and hygiene tips, as well as preparation of nutritious snacks by Geissler Baker of the N.C. Cooperative Extension Agency. • Exercise and health-related activities in the Millis Center’s activity room. For more information about Kids in the Kitchen, visit http://kidsinthe kitchen.ajli.org.

“My partner went down at 3NT,” a club player told me after a match, “and blamed it on his allergies.” “He’s allergic to making 3NT?” I asked. “He won the first heart with dummy’s king,” my friend explained, “blew his nose, sneezed twice and took the ace of clubs. West’s queen fell, but East was sure to get in with a club (or with a diamond, if South tried to set up that suit), and when East returned a heart, West ran four heart tricks for down one.” “What’s this got to do with allergies?” MEDICATION “My partner asserted that when a person sneezes, his other bodily functions cease – including brain activity. Partner said that if he hadn’t forgotten to take his allergy medication, his brain wouldn’t have stopped working, and he’d have led a diamond to his hand at Trick Two to return a low club. When West’s queen came up, South would play low from dummy, assuring the contract.” North was right. South blew 3NT as well as his nose. He missed an ele-

CROSSWORD

Friday, Feb. 26, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Corinne Bailey Rae, 31; Erykah Badu, 39; Mark Dacascos, 46; Michael Bolton, 57 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You need to spend time relaxing and enjoying the people in your life. Your knowledge and experience will be valuable to others and must be shared if you want to be a participant and contributor this year. It’s time to make amends with people you have walked away from. Don’t limit what you can do because you are too proud to admit to your own mistakes and shortcomings. Your numbers are 5, 11, 14, 20, 31, 36, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Network and invest in yourself and your future. Accept any criticism good friends offer and hone your skills and presentation until they are picture perfect. Social activities will be excellent. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t be a follower. Use your better judgment and do what you feel is appropriate. Avoid any conflicts at home or work by staying on top of your duties and offering assistance wherever you can. Keep a relationship you have a secret for now. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t let confusion stand in your way. Be straightforward with everyone. Let your intuition guide you, even if your heart and emotions are pulling you in the opposite direction. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Do everything you can to advance. You will get the edge over anyone competing with you for the same position, contract or deal. An unusual partnership will form. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t get depressed about the things that haven’t happened yet. Focus on the possibilities. Jump at the chance to make changes. Someone you are worried about will give you something that will help you move forward with your plans. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t shut down when you should be opening up. Say what’s on your mind. Once you have aired your true assessment, you will get the help you require and a much better response than you are expecting. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take part in an event or activity you feel strongly about. You will make new friends who inspire you to continue with your personal and professional plans. Someone you are close to may not understand your reasoning. Don’t let this person hold you back. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Oversee anything you ask someone else to do. Expect to be sabotaged by the person you expect to be in your corner. The people most interested in what you are doing may not be on your team. Change your living arrangements to make your space more conducive to productivity. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Money can be made and deals can be signed but have a plan in place so you don’t overspend or overindulge. There is a lot to learn about the way you deal with others and with your money. Avoid gambling. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You need a break and now is as good a time as any to travel back to old familiar places. It will give you a chance to develop some of your more obscure ideas and plans for the future and the opportunity to hook up with old friends. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Someone may upset you if you don’t compromise or do things according to plan. A serious commitment can be made but do so for the right reasons. Arguments will not solve the problems you face. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Mix business with pleasure – you will open up new avenues of communication and possibilities for forming alliances. Don’t lend or borrow money and avoid a partnership with someone who wants a bigger slice of the pie. ★★★

Victory snatches win from Wildcats BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – Westchester Country Day School and Victory Center Christian staged a thriller with a stunning conclusion Thursday evening, but all anyone could talk about afterward were the missed free throws. Victory’s Lloyd Simmons hit a running layup as time expired in overtime to give the Kings a 66-64 win in the quarterfinals of the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association 2A championship. His basket followed a bizarre turn of events that saw host Westchester – the No. 1 seed – blow a 10-point lead with four minutes to go. The Wildcats (27-2) combined to miss 12 of 18 free throws in the final eight minutes of the game, allowing the ninth-seeded Kings (18-18) to close the 54-44 deficit, tie it at 58 and force overtime.

“There’s nothing we could have done any differently,” Westchester coach Pat Kahny said. “We sat on it, they fouled us. We just didn’t hit the free throws.” The Kings followed two empty trips to the charity stripe from the Wildcats with a pair of 3-pointers to tighten the score to 54-50 with 1:31 left on the clock. Ike Nwamu answered with two clutch free throws to push the lead to six, but Simmons – who had a game-high 19 – nailed yet another 3 with 1:20 to play. “Give them credit,” Kahny said. “They buzzed three 3s in our face there at the end, but we just didn’t hit our free throws. That’s all there is to it. I thought we played well enough to win.” Deuce Bello missed two more from the line with 1:10 remaining and the Wildcats leading 5653, giving the Kings a chance to tie. Instead, Victory elected to attack the basket and Montarius Hall was fouled in the process of knocking home

a floater. He stroked the and-one to tie it at 56. Victory was given yet another reprieve when Bello and Nwamu both missed 1 of 2 free throws on consecutive trips. Hall hit a running layup to tie the contest at 58. After a Westchester timeout with 15 seconds to play, the Wildcats held for the last shot. C.J. Plummer began his drive with five seconds on the clock and was stripped in the lane as the Kings secured the ball at the buzzer. The climactic event during the back-andforth overtime came with 21 seconds remaining. Trailing 64-62, Bello was fouled on his way to the basket. He coolly stepped to the line and made both free throws, setting the stage for Simmons’ buzzer-beater. “The shots were falling in the second half (as opposed to the first),” said Bello, who had 18 points, one behind Nwamu for the team high. “We just couldn’t hit the free throws. It was one of those days.”

Harris, HPU hold off Winthrop BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Eugene Harris endured the spotlight at the free-throw line on “Blackout” night. Harris connected on five of seven attempts at the line in the final 25 seconds to help High Point University turn back Winthrop 71-66 at the Millis Center on Thursday. “It was all about finishing, getting the rebounds and making the free throws,” said Harris, who made one trip to the line after grabbing a crucial rebound after an Eagle miss. HPU improved to 1414 overall and 9-8 in the Big South to stay in contention for a home game in the first round of the league tournament next Tuesday. HPU will land the spot if it ties UNC Asheville and Liberty for fourth place because it owns the tiebreaker. For that to happen, Asheville must lose to GardnerWebb, while HPU and Liberty win on Saturday. HPU will host Presbyterian in the regular-season finale. Harris started converting after Winthrop (16-12, 12-5) pulled within 66-64 on Mantoris Robinson’s free throws with 17.8 sec-

onds to play. Harris made two after he was fouled on the inbounds play. After the Eagles made two foul shots, Harris was hacked again on the inbound and hit one of two to put HPU up 69-66. Winthrop had a chance to send the game into overtime with a 3-pointer. Reggie Middleton of the Eagles chose to drive to the bucket instead of shoot a 3 and missed. Harris grabbed the rebound and sank the final two points of the game. “As an athlete, that’s what you live for, to do well in moments like that,” Harris said. “But it wasn’t all that. It was what we did in the previous 39 minutes.” What the Panthers did was overcome a six-point Winthrop lead in the first half to lead 33-31 at the break and then overcame one of their season-long weaknesses by getting off to a strong start in the second half. After the Eagles’ Robbie Dreher hit a 3-pointer to open the final 20 minutes, HPU scored nine of the next 11 points, sparked by a layup and 3-pointer from Nick Barbour to go up 4436 with 16:31 to play. The closest Winthrop came to taking the lead was at 5857 with 6:02 to play.

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

High Point University freshman Jairus Simms (left) dishes off through Winthop’s Gideon Gamble during the first half of Thursday night’s Big South battle at the Millis Center. Barbour, who drove into the lane to score eight points during the Panthers’ late first-half surge, led HPU with 20 points. Corey Law had 14 and Harris 12.

“I just started being more aggressive,” Barbour said. “The coaches told me to keep going when I tried to turn the corner. I just kept taking it to the rack.”

Matt Morgan led Winthrop with 15 points. Robinson and Dreher each had 13, and Middleton added 12. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Blue Devils break away from Tulsa DURHAM (AP) – Nolan Smith had 18 points, Kyle Singler added 17 and No. 5 Duke pulled away to beat Tulsa 70-52 on Thursday night.

Jon Scheyer finished with 15 points for the Blue Devils (24-4). They used an big run early in the second half to break open a surprisingly tight game and extend

their decade-long nonconference winning streak at Cameron Indoor Stadium to 77. Jerome Jordan had 12 points to lead the Golden Hurricane (19-9).

In losing their fourth straight, they finished with a season-low point total and were denied the first victory against a top-five team since 1996.

HIT AND RUN

W

hen I was a kid, I cringed when someone older began a sentence with the words “Back in my day...” A tale of something that happened in the 1930s or ‘40s almost always followed. Now, I’m much older and, alas, I’ve become the one starting sentences that way. So bear with me as I speak my mind. I grimaced the other night when shorttrack speedskater Apolo Anton Ohno was proclaimed as the most decorated U.S. athlete in Winter Olympics history.

Granted, his seven medals – two gold, two silver and three bronze – are the most won by any American in the Winter Games. I salute him for his skill, talent and work ethic. He’s a great champion. But I still point to a pair of long-track speedskaters as the greatest U.S. Winter Olympic multi-medalists. Bonnie Blair captured six medals – five golds and a bronze – in three Olympic appearances. She won gold in the 500 meters at Calgary in 1988, Albertville in ‘92 and Lille-

hammer in ‘94 as well as golds in the 1,000 in ‘92 and ‘94. Blair also earned bronze in the 1,000 in ‘88. On the men’s side, Eric Heiden completed an amazing five-for-five golden performance at Lake Placid in 1980. He won gold in the 500, 1,000, 1,500, 5,000 and 10,000 meters. Ohno clearly belongs in the conversation with those two legends. I just think we should start with Blair and Heiden.

Cougars romp to semifinals ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORTS

BASKETBALL HPCA BOYS 62, GASTON DAY 36 HIGH POINT – High Point Christian Academy’s boys exploded past Gaston Day School in the quarterfinal round of the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association 2A playoffs. The 12th-seeded Cougars romped 62-36 over the No. 13 squad in the last of four games Thursday at Westchester Country Day School. After the host squad was upset by No. 9 Victory Christian in Thursday’s opener, it will be HPCA vs. Victory in one semifinal today and No. 2 First Assembly vs. No. 3 Asheville Christian in the other. Today’s semifinals will be played at Wesleyan Christian Academy. HPCA is scheduled for a 5:30 p.m. tip after the first girls semifinal at 4. The second boys semifinal will tip at 8:30. “They’re bigger than we are, more athletic than we are, longer than we are – if you look at us on paper, watch the warmup line, you probably think it’s going to be a blowout,” Cougars coach Brandon Clifford said of meeting Victory for the second time this season. “They’re definitely one of the most talented teams in the state, but anything can happen this time of year.” Today’s boys winners advance to a 4 p.m. championship game Saturday at Forsyth Country Day. HPCA lost by 13 points to Victory in a December meeting, but that came before the Trojans had all their players at full strength. In Thursday’s win, HPCA led 27-16

at halftime and used a 22-11 run in the third quarter to put away Gaston Day. “We did a really good job running our stuff, not settling for 3s, attacking the basket,” Clifford said. “We did a good job of playing as a team.” Mitchell Oates and Jordan Weethee each had 17 points to power the Cougars (14-17), while Joseph McManus scored nine and Ryan Dula eight against Gaston (10-18), another surprise quarterfinalist as a No. 13 seed.

CHRIST SCHOOL BOYS 81, WESLEYAN 40 GREENSBORO – Top-seeded Asheville Christ School’s boys raced past eighthseeded Wesleyan Christian Academy 81-40 in the quarterfinals of the NCISAA 2A playoffs on Thursday afternoon at Greensboro Day School. Christ School improved to 35-1, while the Trojans closed the season at 19-13. After Wesleyan shot the ball well in an opening-round win against Providence Day, missed shots and turnovers added up against Christ School. Senior guard Leek Leek paced the Trojans with 13 points, 10 rebounds and two assists, while junior center Deng Leek tallied nine points, seven boards and two blocks.

SHELBY GIRLS 75, EAST DAVIDSON 59 SHELBY – Top-seeded Shelby’s girls downed second-seeded East Davidson 7559 in the second round of the NCHSAA 2A West playoffs on Thursday night. Shelby improved to 23-3 and will play host to Thomasville (11-9) in the sectional finals tonight at 7. The Golden Eagles finish the season 21-6.

Kyle Busch hopes for repeat Vegas jackpot RACING NOTEBOOK:

K

yle Busch is looking for a homecoming this weekend similar to the one that he enjoyed a year

ago. Busch capped that weekend in Las Vegas by winning the Cup race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the victory that he says means the most among his 16 major-league triumphs because it came in the city in which he was reared. “It was the biggest so far,” Busch said. “It was awesome, just the feeling of a lifetime. I told everyone that it would be just like another race, but it really meant a lot more than that when I got to victory lane. To have my mom there, and my brother come to victory lane, just made it that much more special. We didn’t have the best car last year, but I feel like I drove a smart race, and did what we needed to do. We worked on it all day and kept making it better.” If he wins this time, he’d rather take a different route. Busch suffered engine failure in practice and even though he rebounded to win the pole, he had to start in the rear of the field because of the engine switch. Usually petulant in dealing with setbacks and mistakes, Busch said he tried to take the engine woes as best he could. “I hate bad days,” Busch said. “I’m still not going to take them as easily as I should. ... But, you know, when the engine blew in practice on that Friday, I could have thrown my helmet down

and stomped away. I told the guys, ‘Great job,’ and look at what we did (after the engine problem in practice). I just went in the hauler and let those guys go to work and do what they do best.” SPORTS Busch said he wound up watching practice on Greer television and it paid off. Smith “I went out there and ■■■ ran a Mark Martin type line and ended up getting the pole there,” Busch said. “That was pretty awesome, to be able to do that and then come from the back, be patient, and win the race, too. I’m trying to learn to keep cool in those situations.” The first victory at Las Vegas for Joe Gibbs Racing was just the second in 12 events there for a car not owned by Jack Roush or Rick Hendrick. “It was cool,” Busch said. “To go out there and to run a smooth race, and to have a shot at winning the race at the end is what it’s all about.” Busch has gotten off to a roaring start in his first full season with Dave Rogers as his crew chief. He finished 18th at Daytona and 14th in California. “We ran well in our first two races and had good cars, but things just didn’t fall our way,” Busch said. “I’m hoping we can find a little more luck this week than we have so far in the Cup Series this year.”

ADVERSE SITUATION

ELDER PASSES

Prism Motorsports, which fields the No. 66 car driven by Dave Blaney, was thrown a curve by NASCAR this weekend. NASCAR confiscated Blaney’s car as the one picked at random for inspection after last weekend’s race at California. Blaney qualified fifth, led by staying out during an early caution and then parked after 43 laps – continuing the team’s routine of staring and parking just to get prize money without having to pay for an engine that would go 500 miles and for tires. The curve ball is the cash-starved team won’t get the car back until Friday at Las Vegas, forcing it to spend the money to get its spare car ready. Some speculated NASCAR was trying to send a message to Phil Parsons because he added another “start-and-park” team this year. Parsons indicated before the season that he was adding the second team as a start-and-park to generate enough cash that would allow Blaney to actually race. Prism did not have a full pit crew for Blaney’s car at Las Vegas. Parsons said he did not think NASCAR was sending a message by taking his car for inspection. “If I am them and they are me and they qualified fifth, I may want a little extra look at that car,” Parsons told ESPN.com. “We haven’t been around that much. There aren’t many relatively new teams that are able to do stuff like that. We may be a victim of our own success.”

J.C. (Jake) Elder, one of the top crew chiefs from the 1960s into the 1980s who gained the name Suitcase Jake because he changed teams frequently, died Wednesday at age 73. He had been in poor health since suffering a stroke in 2006. Elder was the top mechanic on the cars that David Pearson drove to championships in 1968 and 1969. He also prepared the cars in which Dale Earnhardt won “rookie of the year” in 1979 and also worked with drivers Darrell Waltrip, Fred Lorenzen and Benny Parsons.

Canadian women blank U.S. for hockey gold VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) – Canada beat its American rival 2-0 to win the women’s hockey gold medal in a third straight Olympics. Marie-Philip Poulin scored two goals and Shannon Szabados made 28 saves Thursday before a raucous Vancouver

crowd ringing cowbells and waving thousands of maple leaf flags. After Poulin’s two first-period scores, the Canadians dominated every aspect of the biggest game in this young sport, earning their 15th straight Olympic victory.

race. Demong and Spillane were among those to win the weather “lottery,” as World Cup leader Jason Lamy Chappuis of France called it. The Americans weren’t the only lucky ones, though. And Demong did rise from sixth to first, outlasting Spillane and Bernhard Gruber of Austria after they distanced themselves from everyone else. So don’t put too much of an asterisk on this. “These Olympics are the combination of years of hard work and hard breaks,” Demong said. This pair of medals jumped the U.S. count to eight golds and 30 overall, nudging closer to the record hauls of 10 gold of 34 total, both set at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games. Germany had a 1-2 finish in giant slalom to reach eight golds and 26 overall medals. Norway’s Marit Bjoergen became the top medal-winner thus far, becoming the first with three golds and with four overall medals by leading the winning team in the women’s cross-country relay.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Part ski jumping, part cross-country skiing – and almost all Americans on the podium. Billy Demong and Johnny Spillane finished 1-2 in a Nordic combined race Thursday, a surprising medal haul in a sport that’s been part of the Winter Olympics since 1924 but never had an American medalist until these games. Spillane became the first on Sunday – and now he has three, all silver. Demong’s victory is the first gold and his second overall. Both were part of a second-place finish in the team event Tuesday. “I think it has been building over the past five to 10 years,” Demong said. “We knew we had three guys who could medal on any given day.” This race involved ski jumping on the large hill, then a 10-kilometer race. Weather was another obstacle. A driving, wet snow and tail wind late in the ski jumping portion ruined the distances for many of the GIANT SLALOM top competitors, forcing them to Julia Mancuso was third fastest start way back in the cross-country in Thursday’s second run of the gi-

Viktoria Rebensburg won the race, giving Germany a winner in it for the first time since 1956. She was highly unlikely to be the droughtbuster as she’d never won a major event. Also, Lindsey Vonn plans to ski the slalom today with a hard, plastic brace protecting her right pinkie. She broke it during a tumble in the giant slalom Wednesday that left her “a ball of hurt right now,” according to her husband, Thomas.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Camilo Villegas has tied the Phoenix Open first-round record with a 9-under 62 to take a one-shot lead over former Florida teammate Matt Every. Villegas regrouped with a bogey-free round Thursday after making the semifinals of the Match Play Championship last weekend, but missing a 3-foot putt that would have put him in

the final. The 28-year-old Colombian beat Sergio Garcia in the third-place match. Justin Rose, Mark Wilson, Ryuji Imada, Rickie Fowler and Pat Perez were three strokes back at 65 in perfect conditions at TPC Scottsdale. Phil Mickelson and defending champion Kenny Perry were in a large group at 68. Match Play champion Ian Poulter struggled to a 72.

Four share lead in Singapore SINGAPORE (AP) – Top-ranked Lorena Ochoa birdied two of the final three holes for a 4-under 68 and a share of the firstround lead Thursday on a hot, windy day at the HSBC Champions. Cristie Kerr, Angela Stanford and Hee Young Park also shot 68s. Kerr birdied five of the last six holes on Tanah Merah’s Garden Course, Stanford had a bogeyfree round, and Park

overcame three bogeys with seven birdies. Ai Miyazato, the winner Sunday in the season-opening LPGA Thailand, was a stroke back along with Sophie Gustafson, Christina Kim and Song-Hee Kim. Juli Inkster, Karrie Webb and Suzann Pettersen shot 70s, while defending champion Jiyai Shin opened with a 71, and Michelle Wie had a 72.

2 plead not guilty in NY terrorism case NEW YORK – Two men have pleaded not guilty to new charges in a foiled plot to bomb New York City subways with homemade bombs. Charges unsealed Thursday morning in federal court in Brooklyn allege that Zarein Ahmedzay and Adis Medunjanin were involved in the plan to attack the system in mid-September 2009. The two 25-year-olds are accused of conspiring with former high school classmate Najibullah Zazi to use weapons of mass destruction to conduct an attack. Zazi pleaded guilty this week and is cooperating with federal prosecutors.

US, Canadian officials wager bet on hockey WASHINGTON – It’s a friendly wager that could leave White House press secretary Robert Gibbs wearing the colors of Canada. Gibbs and his counterpart to the north, Dimitri Soudas, bet on the results of Thursday’s gold medal women’s hockey contest. Both teams were unbeaten in the Olympics, being played in Vancouver. White House spokesman Nick Shapiro says that if the United States wins, the prime minister’s press secretary will don a Team USA jersey when he briefs reporters on March 3. If Canada wins, Gibbs will wear a Team Canada jersey the next time he meets with reporters offcamera in his office.

Lawmakers (from left) Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., Sen Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., listen during a health care reform meeting with President Barack Obama on Thursday at Blair House in Washington.

Obama: Health revamp can’t wait for long debate WASHINGTON (AP) – After a day of debate and disagreement, President Barack Obama concluded Thursday’s unprecedented live talkfest on health care with the bleak assessment that accord between Democrats and Republicans may not be possible. He rejected Republican preferences for seeking a step-by-step solution or simply starting over. Obama strongly suggested that Democrats will try to pass a sweeping overhaul without GOP support, by using controversial Senate budget rules that would disallow filibusters. And then, he said, this fall’s elections would write the verdict on who was right. “We cannot have another yearlong debate about this,� Obama said at the end of a 71⠄2-hour marathon policy session. Neither side gave much ground, sticking mostly to familiar arguments and talking points. The president urged Republicans to “do a little soul searching� but said majority Democrats would decide quickly how to move forward on a priority that has eluded leaders for half a century. “This will take courage to do,� House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. said in her own closing speech. “But we will get it done.� With the conversation veering between mind-numbing detail and flaring tempers, Obama and

AP

President Barack Obama gestures as he renewed his efforts for health care reform while meeting with Republican and Democratic Congressional leaders. his Democratic allies clashed with congressional Republicans over the right prescription for the nation’s broken health care system. Though there was much talk of agreement, each side held onto long-entrenched positions that left them far apart. Democrats seek a kind of broad remake; Republicans favor much more modest changes. “We have a very difficult gap to bridge here,� said Rep. Eric Cantor, the No. 2 House Republican. “We just can’t afford this. That’s the ultimate problem.� With Cantor sitting in front of a giant stack of nearly 2,400 pages

representing the Democrats’ Senate-passed bill, Obama said cost is a legitimate question, but he took Cantor and other Republicans to task for using political shorthand and props “that prevent us from having a conversation.� And so it went, hour after hour at Blair House, just across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House. It was essentially a condensed, one-day version of the entire past year of debate over the nation’s health care crisis, with all its heat, complexity and detail, and a crash course in the partisan divide. Obama and other Democrats argued that a broad overhaul is imperative for the nation’s future economic vitality. The president cast health care as “one of the biggest drags on our economy,� tying his top domestic priority to an issue that’s even more pressing to many Americans. “This is the last chance, as far as I’m concerned,� Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y. Obama lamented partisan bickering that has resulted in a stalemate. “Politics I think ended up trumping practical common sense,� he said. With such hardened positions well staked out before the meeting, the president and his Democratic allies prepared to move on alone – a gamble with political risks no matter how they do that.

Holder, Gates: Congress should not restrict trials WASHINGTON (AP) – Attorney General Eric Holder and Defense Secretary Robert Gates are urging Congress not to restrict the executive branch from prosecuting terrorism defendants in federal courts or in reformed military commissions in the United States. The request Thursday in a joint letter to House leaders ratchets up the debate between the Obama administration and congressional

Republicans on how best to proceed legally against accused terrorists. Congressional restrictions on terrorism prosecutions would be unwise and set a dangerous precedent, Holder and Gates told House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio. “In order to protect the American people as effectively as possible, we must be in a position to use every lawful instrument of national power –

including both courts and military commissions – to ensure that terrorists are brought to justice and can no longer threaten American lives,� Holder and Gates added.

The House voted 315 to 97 to extend the USA Patriot Act, sending the bill to President Barack Obama. Without the bill, the provisions would expire Sunday. The Senate approved the extension Wednesday. The privacy protections were cast aside when Senate Democrats lacked the necessary 60-vote supermajority to pass them. Thrown away were restrictions on the authority to spy on Americans and seize their records.

A congressional source familiar with the findings but not authorized to be quoted by name said at least four of members of the Congressional Black Caucus on the trips in 2007 and 2008 have been exonerated. Rangel is one of the most influential members of Congress because the committee he chairs writes laws setting tax rates and oversees Medicare and Social Security benefits. The decision is certain to raise questions whether he can continue that role in an election year in which Congress must deal with several expiring tax laws.

Former Madoff executive arrested NEW YORK (AP) — A top aide to Bernard Madoff was arrested Thursday and charged with helping the convicted Wall Street swindler cook his books. Daniel Bonventre, the former operations director for Bernard Madoff Investment Securities, was arrested at his Manhattan home, authorities said. He faces conspiracy, securities fraud and tax charges. The 63-year-old was also sued Thursday by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC accused Bonventre of falsifying accounting records both to disguise Madoff ’s multibillion dollar fraud and illegally enrich himself.

Jobless claims rise WASHINGTON (AP) — New claims for unemployment benefits jumped unexpectedly last week, mostly because state agencies processed a backlog of claims caused by snowstorms the previous week. The severe weather also increased temporary layoffs in the weathersensitive construction and transportation industries. Still, the increase in claims underscored concerns that layoffs are no longer slowing as they had in the second half of last year. More layoffs

means consumers will have less money to spend, hindering the economic recovery. “The fact that these snowstorms — as bad as they were — could have such an impact is more testimony to the fragility of the recovery,� Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial, wrote in a note to clients. “The recovery is still on thin ice and lost momentum in the first quarter.� A separate report Thursday on orders for big-ticket manufactured goods was mixed. The Commerce Department

said durable goods orders shot up in January by 3 percent, the most in six months. But that gain resulted from a surge in orders for aircraft. Excluding transportation, durable goods orders fell by 0.6 percent, a weaker showing than economists had expected. Economists weren’t overly alarmed by that drop. They noted that the figures are volatile monthto-month. And they pointed out that the government raised its estimate for orders, excluding transportation, in December to show a 2 percent gain.

In its report on jobless claims, the Labor Department said first-time claims for unemployment insurance rose by 22,000 to a seasonally adjusted 496,000. Wall Street analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected a drop to 455,000. Economists closely watch initial claims, which are considered a gauge of the pace of layoffs and an indication of companies’ willingness to hire new workers. The four-week average of claims, which smooths volatility, rose by 6,000 to 473,750. The four-week av-

Former Kmart head to pay millions DETROIT (AP) — A judge on Thursday ordered a former Kmart CEO to pay more than $10 million for misleading investors before the retail chain filed for bankruptcy protection in 2002. However, the judge denied an SEC request that would have prevented Charles Conaway from serving as an officer or director at another public company. The Securities and Exchange Commission said Conaway failed to tell investors that Kmart was delaying payments to suppliers to save cash, thereby masking the deteriorating financial health of the company.

Oil prices tumble on economy worries NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices tumbled Thursday on new signs that the economy remains weak and that demand for crude is still tepid at best. Benchmark crude for April delivery fell $2.80 to $77.20 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose $1.14 to settle at $80 on Wednesday.

erage has risen by about 30,000 in the past month. The average had fallen sharply over the summer and fall from its peak last spring of about 650,000. But the improvement has stalled since the year began. The four-week figure is now well above the 425,000 level that many economists say would signal net hiring. The higher claims figures in recent weeks mean the unemployment rate likely rose in February and more jobs were lost. The unemployment rate in January was 9.7 percent.

Toyota makes safety pledge WASHINGTON (AP) — Fresh from a grueling appearance before Congress, Toyota’s chief executive met with Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood on Thursday and pledged “to advance safety to the next level.� Akio Toyoda then headed to the state of Kentucky to visit Toyota’s largest North American manufacturing plant, which churns out the popular Camry, one of the models

in the 6 million-vehicle U.S. recall. The cost to Toyota’s reputation is only now starting to emerge. The world’s biggest automaker is facing legal and public relations problems on several fronts: a criminal investigation by federal prosecutors in New York; a probe by the Securities and Exchange Commission; and anger by U.S. dealerships in line to repair potentially mil-

lions of recalled vehicles. Toyota is offering customers new reimbursements for rental cars and other expenses. Company lawyers are bracing for large numbers of death and injury lawsuits. The Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee plans a hearing Tuesday and has asked LaHood, federal highway safety chief David Strickland and two Toyota exec-

utives — Toyota’s North American president, Yoshi Inaba, and quality control official Shinichi Sasaki — to testify. Transportation officials said Toyoda’s meeting with LaHood lasted about 30 minutes and focused on the importance of safety and protecting consumers. Toyoda “promised to take the initiative to advance safety to the next level,� according to a Toyota statement.

Fidelity 2009 profit rises 5 percent BOSTON (AP) — Fidelity Investments said Thursday its operating profit rose 5 percent last year compared with 2008, and the nation’s largest mutual fund company also saw fund performance improve. Fidelity is privately held and doesn’t report quarterly financial numbers.

But the company said in its annual report that its operating income last year was $2.51 billion, excluding interest expenses and taxes. That’s up from $2.39 billion in 2008, when sharply declining markets eroded the value of assets that Fidelity and rival fund companies manage and rely on

for fee income. A market turnaround helped lift results last year. In a letter to shareholders, Fidelity CEO and Chairman Edward “Ned� Johnson III said more than half of last year’s profit increase came from the company’s distribution operations, which offer investment products

to Fidelity clients, including those from other fund companies. Fidelity reported a nearly 11 percent decline in revenue last year, to $11.48 billion. The drop came as Fidelity cut thousands of jobs the past couple years, reducing its work force to about 37,000.

Apple sells 10 billionth song CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) — Apple Inc. said Thursday that it has sold 10 billion songs from the iTunes Store since it opened in 2003, cementing its position as the world’s largest music retailer. The 10 billionth song was “Guess Things Happen That Way� by Johnny Cash, bought by Louie Sulcer of

Woodstock, Ga. He will receive a $10,000 gift card. The music store sold around 25 million tracks in 2003. Three years later, it surpassed the 1 billion mark. Separately, Apple was set to hold its annual shareholder meeting Thursday at its headquarters in Cupertino.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans are taking aim at the Obama administration’s struggling mortgage assistance program. They argue the effort is making the economic crisis worse and say many homeowners would be better off as renters. In a report Thursday, Reps. Darrell Issa, R-Calif. and Jim Jordan, ROhio., called the program a misuse of taxpayer money. Though $75 billion has been set aside for the program, so far only $15 million has been spent. They also said it distorts the housing market by keeping people in their homes who would be better off going through foreclosure. Homeowners who enroll in the program but then drop out “would have been better off if they had defaulted earlier and spent the payments on more affordable housing options,� the two lawmakers wrote. Obama administration officials, however, reject that argument. They say the program gives a second chance to homeowners who were given shoddy loans during the housing boom. And they defend their track record, even though only 116,000 homeowners have completed the process out of the 1 million enrolled.

Stocks fall on renewed economic fears NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell Thursday but closed well off their lows as investors set aside some of concerns about Greece’s rising debt. The recovery came as the dollar pulled back from an early spike. The dollar is seen as a safe investment. So its retreat signals that by the end of the day, investors had lost some of their fears about Greece’s debt problems hurting other countries. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 53 points after being down 188. Treasury prices rose as investors sought safer investments. The early slide came as the possibility of downgrades of Greece’s debt

fanned worries that financial troubles there will spread to other countries. The euro fell and touched a nine-month low against the dollar. Stocks often get hit when the dollar jumps because commodity prices often fall. A drop in commodity prices hurts energy and materials stocks. An unexpected rise in first-time claims for unemployment insurance added to the sour mood that dominated trading early in the day and raised concerns that the labor market will worsen. The Labor Department said first-time claims for unemployment insurance rose by 22,000 to a seasonally adjusted

496,000. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters had forecast a drop in claims. It was the second straight week that claims rose unexpectedly. High unemployment remains one of the biggest obstacles to a sustained economic recovery. The Labor Department’s monthly report on employment will be released next week. Trading in the U.S. has been choppy in recent weeks because of uneasiness about the economy. Global markets retreated earlier this month because traders were worried about Greece’s debt problems. The market’s drop early in the week, a rebound and the latest

slide signal that investors are waiting for clearer information on the direction of the economy. Justin Golden, a strategist at Macro Risk Advisors in New York, said there is an undercurrent of worry about long-term issues like debt in Greece. The presence of the concerns means it doesn’t take much to rattle investors. “It’s a statement of how fragile the markets really are,” Golden said. The Dow fell 53.13, or 0.5 percent, to 10,321.03. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index slipped 2.30, or 0.2 percent, to 1,102.94. The Nasdaq composite index fell 1.68, or 0.1 percent, to 2,234.22.

Workers from the public sector stage a protest on the streets of Dublin, Ireland, in November 2009.

European Union pushes cuts for indebted countries DUBLIN (AP) — To keep its debt crisis from mushrooming out of control, the European Union is imposing harsh cutbacks on millions of ordinary people in debtplagued countries like Greece, Ireland and Portugal. But some economists think cutbacks right now are a mistake that might tip Europe into a dreaded double-dip recession. How, skeptics ask, will Europe’s barely-there recovery withstand the loss of stimulus from sudden, steep austerity measures demanded by the EU? So far the pain includes cutbacks and freezes in teachers’ and nurses’ salaries, higher retirement ages and heavier taxes on everything from incomes to cigarettes and fuel. Europe is barely expanding, with only 0.1

percent growth in the fourth quarter in the 16 countries that use the euro, leaving a renewed slide into recession impossible to rule out. And the recession is still on in several countries facing the cuts such as Greece, Ireland and Spain. “This premature fiscal tightening is the route to the Second Great Depression” — or at the very least, a long period of economic stagnation, warned Simon Johnson, a professor at MIT’s Sloan School of Management and a former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund. Yet markets are leaving EU leaders with little room to maneuver. Fears of a possible downgrade of Greek debt by ratings agencies sent European stocks lower Thursday and pushed

the euro down 0.4 percent to $1.3484, not far off its nine-month low of $1.3444 hit earlier this month and well off its most recent peak of $1.51 from November. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told lawmakers Thursday that the central bank is looking into the use by Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street firms of a sophisticated investment instrument to make bets that Greece will default on its debt. Robbie Cullen can see both sides of the coin. As a tax collector, he’s in the front line of Ireland’s battle to bring its runaway deficit under control. But as a divorced dad working two jobs, his own wallet is already at breaking point. “The debt we’ve run up as a nation is just unbe-

lievable. A tsunami could hit Ireland and cause less damage,” said a red-eyed Cullen, who shifts every day from his civil servant job to moonlighting as a taxi driver in Dublin. It’s a choice he couldn’t have imagined a few years ago — before the government’s emergency budgets cut his overtime, froze his salary, raised his income taxes and boosted his workload as departing colleagues weren’t replaced. “I can’t even keep up with my own debts, never mind the nation’s,” Cullen said, shopping for cut-rate sausage at a discount supermarket he disdained to visit in better times. “I’ve got to spend 30 hours a week taxiing just to break even. Something else has got to give. I can’t give any more.”

Fed to eye contracts on Greek debt WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told lawmakers Thursday that the central bank is looking into the use by Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street firms of a sophisticated investment instrument to make bets that Greece will default on its debt. Bernanke said the Fed is looking into companies’ use of credit default swaps, a form of insurance against bond defaults. Bernanke made the comments at the

start of a Senate Banking Committee hearing, the second day where the Fed chief testified on Capitol Hill about the state of the economy. “Obviously, using these instruments in a way that intentionally destabilizes a company or a country is counterproductive, “ Bernanke said, adding that the Securities and Exchange Commission probably will be looking into this matter as well. “We’ll certainly be evaluating what we can learn

from the activities of the holding companies that we supervise here in the U.S,” Bernanke said. The panel’s chairman, Sen. Christopher Dodd, DConn., said he is troubled that this practice could worsen Greece’s debt crisis. “We have a situation in which major financial institutions are amplifying a public crisis for what would appear to be for private gain,” Dodd said. Dodd wondered whether there ought to be lim-

its on the use of credit default swaps to prevent “the intentional creation of runs against governments.” On another topic, Bernanke said that the snowstorms and bad weather that have recently affected the country will likely have a short-term — but not permanent — impact on unemployment and layoffs. He said policymakers will “have to be careful about not overinterpreting” upcoming data.

1939 Batman comic sells for more than $1 million DALLAS (AP) – Heritage Auction Galleries says a 1939 comic book in which Batman makes his debut has sold at auction in Dallas for more than $1 million – setting a record for the amount paid for a comic. The rare copy of Detective Comics No. 27 from 1939 went for $1,075,500

Thursday. A Heritage official says it was sold on behalf of an anonymous consignor and the buyer wished to remain anonymous as well. Barry Sandoval, director of operations of Heritage’s comics division, says that the consignor bought the comic in the late 1960s for $100.

Snowstorm slams Northeast, rain pounds New England PHILADELPHIA (AP) โ A slow-moving winter storm bringing snow again in the Northeast is also dumping a lot of rain in parts of northern New England and threatening to cause flooding. In parts of southern and mid-coastal Maine more than 3 inches of rain has fallen and forecasters say some areas could get more than 7 inches. The river in the flood-prone New Hampshire town of Goffstown is nearing flood stage and residents have been told to prepare for possible evacuation. Back-to-back storms have been blamed for a number deaths, including a man who was hit by a snow-laden tree branch in Central Park. In upstate New York, state police report two deaths in traffic accidents on slick roads, one near Rochester and another southeast of Syracuse. Meanwhile, airlines canceled hundreds of Thurs-
