The High Point Convention and Visitors Bureau wants to tap into one of its most valuable assets – you. The bureau launched its “Bring it Home, High Point” campaign last week and wants anyone who has attended a trade show or convention that was held outside the city to relay information to the bureau so the city can try to lure those events to High Point. This is just one of the strategies the bureau has developed to breathe life into the sagging tourism industry. This three-part series examines those efforts, and the struggles to regain tourists in a down economy.

CVB seeks your help BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
SERIES BREAKOUTS
HIGH POINT – After a steep economic recession spread across the country, preluded by a tragedy that forever changed the tourism industry, the High Point Convention and Visitor’s Bureau has a new list of efforts under way to boost tourism in the city. To continue the uphill, againstthe-wind battle with those factors, the CVB has resurrected and revamped it’s “Bring It Home, High Point” campaign. Originally launched in 1993, the campaign circulates advertisements through various outlets, soliciting leads from city residents. The CVB is seeking information about trade shows that residents have attended elsewhere. When that information is submitted by locals, the CVB staff contacts the organizer of that event and explains why High Point is a good location to host a show. “We have one sales manager now, so we’re asking the city to become sales manager,” said Charlotte Young, president and CEO of the bureau. “We really want leads to any trade shows that anyone in the community has attended.” Tourism was impacted significantly nationwide following the 9/11 terror attacks, and it never fully recovered. The woes were compounded by the current recession. A second sales manager left the CVB last summer, and the position was never filled due to budget constraints. “We need to have a total partnership with the community to bring people here,” Young said. “We’re trying to get as many hotel rooms

booked in High Point as possible. If a hotel room is booked, those people are going to eat here, get BRING IT gas here, and so HOME on.” Part of marketReviving ing High Point tourism in High as a viable locaPoint tion includes ■■■ capitalizing on its location in the middle of the state. Young said High Point is positioned in a central location that’s perfect for conventions that may draw people from all over North Carolina. Of course, marketing efforts can be costly, further complicating a situation for an organization already operating on a restricted budget. For that reason, The CVB staff also is marketing itself to local clubs, boards, nonprofit organizations, religious groups or any group that would welcome them as guest speakers. Young and the rest of the staff are attending meetings to explain their efforts and solicit more leads from the community.
HIGH POINT – Like tourism groups throughout the country, the High Point Convention and Visitors Bureau has suffered significant setbacks since the recession began. The organization is funded by the city’s hotel room occupancy tax. In its 2009-2010 fiscal year, CVB sales have declined each month. The CVB also has dipped into its reserve funds in January to prevent an unbalanced budget, using $50,000 of those funds. Citing the recession as an obvious factor that has driven down sales, Charlotte Young, president and CEO of the bureau, said tourism in the U.S. had barely recovered from the effects of the 9/11 terrorist attacks when the recession hit. When the attacks occurred in 2001, sales dropped 7 percent for the bureau’s fiscal year. “Each year after that, sales stayed really low,” Young said. “We didn’t really recover until the fiscal year of 2004-2005. That’s when we got back to where we were before 9/11 - four years later.” A few years after that came the recession, she said. In addition to resurrecting the Bring it Home initiative, the CVB has been battling back in other ways. Nancy Bowman, CVB marketing and communications manager, combined this year the annual dining guide and visitors guide into one brochure – a strategy that saved money and is more simple for tourists to carry, Bowman said. And while trade shows and conventions are a large part of the city’s tourism industry, transient tourism – or individuals who stream through the city on a daily basis to shop, dine or sight-see, also is an important aspect. Bowman worked with local businesses to create a coupon book for tourists and uploaded the book to the CVB’s Web site. That way, if tourists want to use the coupons, they can print them off themselves, she said. The coupons offer discounts at places such as restaurants, hotels and furniture retail stores.

HIGH POINT – The City Council will be asked to consider tightening up a street ordinance after certain types of parking tickets got tossed out of court. The High Point Police Department has requested streets without curbing and gutters along one
or both sides of the edge of pavement be defined as ribbon paved streets on which parking is prohibited. In some instances, parking tickets issued by officers that have been challenged have been thrown out by Guilford County magistrates because the city ordinance does not adequately address preventing vehicles from parking on ribbon paved streets,

according to city Transportation Director Mark McDonald. Most city streets have curbing and gutters, but there are quite a few ribbon paved streets in older parts of town. Parking on them or their shoulders often creates problems, as parked vehicles can obstruct already narrow travel lanes, McDonald said. Evergreen and Burton avenues are exam-
ples of ribbon paved streets, as are Deep River, Old Winston and Whites Mill roads. Proposed traffic ordinance amendments define a ribbon paved street and add it to a list of places where parking is prohibited. No signs are required to notify motorists of the prohibition. The

Economic, civil rights rally focuses on busing RALEIGH (AP) – People at an annual rally Saturday to demand civil rights and economic improvements from the North Carolina General Assembly focused their attention on education and the potential end of busing in the state’s largest school district.

The NAACP and about 90 other advocacy groups that organized the rally had a 14-point “People’s Agenda,” but the issue that took center stage was a proposal in Wake County to end busing and send

Slain teen wanted to ‘make the news’ GREENSBORO (AP) – When Christian Rook, 17, felt a manic episode blow in like a storm front, family members say, he looked for shelter. Either he would get himself arrested, as he did in December, spending 12 days in jail, or committed for treatment as he did in November, at Moses Cone Behavioral Health. But on Feb. 2, his plan backfired, with tragic results. “Let’s see if we can make the news,” family members heard the teenager say, as he grabbed a 12-inch knife from the kitchen drawer. Within minutes of that ill-conceived challenge, the bipolar teen lay dying in the afternoon sleet in front of his house, shot in the chest by a Guilford County Sheriff’s deputy answering a domestic call from the boy’s grandmother. With autopsy results and an SBI inquiry pending, the key question for family, neighbors and law enforcement is how the scene escalated so fast, with such irrevocable results. “Literally, from the time the officer arrived on the street to the time he fired the shots was 34 seconds,” Sheriff BJ Barnes said. “That’s not a lot of time.” Barnes said the deputy had no options: he told investigators that Christian lunged at him with the knife. But the two family members who witnessed the shooting gave a starkly different version of events. “You call the police hoping that they’ll help you,”

said Christian’s grandmother, Diane, who placed the 911 call, and said she then watched her grandson walk toward the deputy’s car. “Not destroy your family.” The morning of Feb. 2 was busy for dispatchers, but inside Rook’s home off Alcorn Road near Piedmont Triad International Airport, it was another restless snow day. Christian was the oldest of four, and both he and his 14-year-old brother were diagnosed three years ago with bipolar disorder. Their father, a Marine Corps captain, is assigned to a base in Monterey, Calif., where he is completing his master’s degree. Christian’s parents describe their son as a charming, affectionate boy, but tormented by his illness. In California, the only psychiatrist available to the military family specialized in treating attention-deficit disorder. Determined to find proper treatment for the boys, their mother, Christina, temporarily moved in with her mother-in-law in Greensboro last November.
Here, Christian at last had a doctor and a therapist, was adjusting to medications that made his weight fluctuate drastically. “He had his good days and his bad days,” his mother said, “but it was like night and day from California as far as care.” The case renewed calls by mental health advocates for Crisis Intervention Training for law enforcement in Guilford County, the last large county in North Carolina to lack such training. Though Sheriff BJ Barnes said he has been assured by the Guilford Center that current training is sufficient, one sergeant has completed CIT, and two more officers will attend in March. Widely considered “best practice” by law enforcement nationwide, the 40-hour course teaches about de-escalation tactics and mental illness. “These are proven methods. It’s certainly not an anti-police program,” said Mike Weaver, a state board member of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. “It can mean the difference between someone dying and not dying.”

Residents look at a collapsed building in Concepcion, Chile, Saturday, after an 8.8magnitude quake struck central Chile. The epicenter was 70 miles from Concepcion.
Huge quake hits Chile; tsunami threatens Pacific TALCA, Chile (AP) – One of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded struck Chile on Saturday, toppling homes, collapsing bridges and plunging trucks into the fractured earth. A tsunami threatened every nation around the Pacific Ocean – roughly a quarter of the globe. Chileans near the epicenter were tossed about by the magnitude-8.8 quake as if shaken by a giant. At least 147 people were killed, according to Carmen Fernandez, director of the National Emergency Agency. The quake shook build-
ings in Argentina’s capital of Buenos Aires, and was felt as far away as Sao Paulo in Brazil – 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) to the east. About 13 million people live in the area where shaking was strong to severe, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. In Talca, just 65 miles (105 kilometers) from the epicenter, furniture toppled as the earth shook for more than a minute in something akin to major airplane turbulence.

Iraq’s top cleric says aides not to join campaigns BAGHDAD (AP) – Iraq’s top Shiite cleric on Saturday ordered his representatives across the country not to campaign for any blocs or candidates contesting the March 7 parliamentary elections, a move designed to assert the Iranian-born cleric’s neutrality. An official at the office of Grand Ayatollah Ali alSistani said the cleric, who is highly revered by Iraq’s Shiite majority, also decided not to receive any politicians till after the vote. The official’s comments coincided with a visit by Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki to Najaf, the holy
Shiite city where al-Sistani is based. However, the official said the Shiite prime minister did not request a meeting with the cleric. Al-Maliki, who is seeking a second term in office, was campaigning in Najaf on Saturday. The official said al-Sistani wanted his representatives to ensure a big turnout for the election for a new, 325-seat legislature. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations followed by al-Sistani’s office.

Neighbors pulled at least five people from the rubble while emergency workers, themselves disoriented, asked for information from reporters. Experts said tsunami waves could hit Asian, Australian and New Zealand shores, and Hawaii, as well as the U.S. West Coast and Alaska. In all, 53 nations and territories were subject to tsunami warnings.

But analysts and editorials speculated that the Supreme Court’s decision not to seize all $2.3 billion of Thaksin’s frozen assets would at least temporarily ease political conflicts that have plagued the country for the past four years.
Foe leader: Dictatorial ‘cult’ rules Iran TEHRAN, Iran – Iran’s opposition leader said Saturday that a dictatorial “cult� was ruling Iran in the name of Islam – his strongest attack to date on the country’s clerical leadership.

Pakistan suicide attack kills 4, wounds dozens ISLAMABAD (AP) – A suicide car bomber attacked a police station Saturday in northwestern Pakistan, killing four people and wounding about two dozen, underscoring the continuing security threat as the country’s army battles militants. Also, a paramilitary commander said his forces had killed 25 militants in another area of the volatile frontier region. The blast on the police station in Karak in North West Frontier Province also toppled a mosque next door, said Ajmal Khan, a government official. Two police and two civilians were killed,
and both police and civilians were among the wounded. The wounded were transported to a nearby hospital where some were listed in critical condition. TV footage showed the charred skeleton of a vehicle and rescuers removing debris as they looked for survivors. No one claimed responsibility, but militants have targeted police, security forces and government offices in various parts of Pakistan in recent years to avenge military operations in the country’s tribal regions, which are close to Afghanistan.

GENEVA (AP) – A killer – or killers – may be on the loose in Europe after a Hamas operative was slain last month in Dubai. European nations, however, seem to be in no rush to find him, her or them. The spotlight is falling on those countries where police say the alleged assassins’ trails begin and end: Switzerland, Italy, France, Germany and the Netherlands. Authorities there have either declined to say whether they are investigating, or told The Associated Press they have no reason to hunt down the 26 suspects implicated in the Jan. 19 killing of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh. European countries’ reluctance to investigate may have something to do with the widely held belief that the killing of al-Mabhouh was carried out by a friendly country’s intelligence agency – Israel’s Mossad.

US prepared to assist Chile WASHINGTON (AP) – The U.S. “will be there� if Chile asks for rescue and recovery help after a powerful earthquake struck the South American nation, President Barack Obama said Saturday. Before he spoke, Obama had a 20-minute confer-
ence call with staff and Cabinet members who updated him on conditions in Chile and on the tsunami. Participants included Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. “The United States stands ready to assist
in the rescue and recovery efforts and we have resources that are positioned to deploy should the Chilean government ask for our help,� Obama said. Chile’s president, Michelle Bachelet, said her government has not asked for assistance from other countries.

HONOLULU (AP) – A tsunami triggered by the Chilean earthquake sent a surge of water ashore in Hawaii, California and islands in the South Pacific on Saturday as the waves continued onto Alaska and parts of Asia. There were no immediate reports of widespread damage, injuries or deaths in the U.S. or in the Pacific islands. In Hawaii, water began pulling away from shore off Hilo Bay on the Big Island just before noon, exposing reefs and sending dark streaks of muddy, sandy water offshore. Waves later washed
over Coconut Island, a small park off Hilo’s coast. The tsunami was causing a series of surges that were about 20 minutes apart, and the waves arrived later and smaller than originally predicted. The highest wave at Hilo measured 5.5 feet high, while Maui saw some as high as 6.5 feet. “We dodged a bullet,� said Gerard Fryer, a geophysist for the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. He said there was the possibility that the tsunami would gain strength again as it heads to Japan.

Obama to GOP on health care: ‘Let’s get this done’ WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama said Saturday he is ready to compromise with Republicans on health care if they are serious about it, but that an overhaul must go forward. “Let’s get this done,� he said. Obama’s comments in his weekly Internet and radio address were the latest sign that Democrats are getting set to try to pass health care legislation without any Republicans on board.
Success will require colossal efforts on the part of Obama and Democratic leaders to round up votes after a year of corrosive debate and a Senate special-election upset that threw the overhaul effort into limbo last month. But Obama and the Democrats reject the piecemeal approach sought by Republicans and have no intention of scrapping their 10-year, $1 trillion bill and starting over, as the GOP demands.

Puerto Ricans shocked, confused over voided birth certificates WASHINGTON (AP) – Native Puerto Ricans living outside the island territory are reacting with surprise and confusion after learning their birth certificates will become no good this summer. A law enacted by Puerto Rico in December mainly to combat identity theft invalidates as of July 1 all previously issued Puerto Rican birth certificates. That means more than a third of the 4.1
million people of Puerto Rican descent living in the 50 states must arrange to get new certificates. The change catches many unaware. Julissa Flores, 33, of Orlando, Fla., said she knew nothing about Puerto Rico’s law. “I was planning a trip and now I don’t know,� she said. “Do I need to go get a passport? If my birth certificate is invalid, am I stuck here?�

LOS ANGELES (AP) – The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is considering action against a producer of “The Hurt Locker� who sent out multiple e-mails urging academy members to vote for his movie in the Oscar best-picture category and “not a $500 million film,� an obvious reference to close-competitor “Avatar.� The e-mails by Nicolas Chartier, one of four nominated producers for “The

Divers brave icy waters to help Special Olympics

They collected nearly $2,000 this year and have raised approximately $12,000 in the four years the fraternity has participated in the plunge, said Christian Figueroa, aka Mr. Frosted Mini Wheats. Last year the sheriff’s department raised more than $64,000 for Special Olympics and was the leading fundraising law enforcement department in the state.
THOMASVILLE – Archdale’s Creekside Park may get its own park ranger. At the Archdale City Council retreat in Thomasville Friday, Elaine Albertson, the city’s parks and recreation director, and police Chief Darrell Gibbs made the recommendation for the city to hire a park ranger to monitor Creekside Park year-round. In previous years, the city has used security companies, county deputies and Archdale police officers to monitor Creekside Park. With an increase in vandalism and the park hosting several events year-round, Alberston said the park is in great need of a year-round park ranger. “I have been concerned and continue to be concerned about the security and the well-being of the park,” City Manager Jerry Yarborough said. “We’ve got to do something about that, whether we enlist an additional officer or find ways to accommodate it. We have tried several different ways, but I think when you wear the Archdale badge and a blue uniform, it says something about your commitment to security.” Gibbs said the city has been fortunate to not have any major incidents at Creekside Park. Gibbs said the police department would hire a new officer whose primary job would be as a park ranger. Mayor Bert Lance-Stone said the city needed to hire a park ranger to maintain the “integrity” of the park. In addition to monitoring the park, the new police officer would patrol the Archdale Public Library and the Randolph Community College campus in Archdale. City officials said RCC may help with the cost of employing the officer. Gibbs said the Archdale Police Department would need sufficient time to conduct interviews and train a new officer to work in the park, which could take up to four months. City Council members directed staff to look into hiring a new officer for the park.

GREENSBORO – A team representing the High Point Police Department braved 38-degree water and a brisk, chilling wind Saturday afternoon to raise money for Special Olympics. Several hundred people gathered at Wet & Wild Emerald Pointe for the 10th annual Polar Plunge, organized by the Guilford County Sheriff’s Department. Each jumper paid a minimum of $50, and those who entered the category “Too Chicken to Jump” could make donations without having to get wet. The atmosphere was carnival-like, with teams costumed to represent themes. The High Point Police team was the Cops and Robbers. Some – including Capt. Margaret Erga, Maj. Marty Sumner and Capt. Tony Hamrick – were in uniform, minus weapons, leather belts and shoes. Others –including Assistant District Attorneys Christon Halkiotis, Mary Ann Sawyer and Jordan Green – wore blackand-white striped convict costumes. The team raised approximately $3,500 in pledges. Team members were considerably more talkative before the plunge than afterward. “You just jump; training isn’t required,” Erga said beforehand.

Kayla Bruschell and Tom Arrington, aka Tinker Belle and Peter Pan, jump into the frigid water at the Polar Plunge at Emerald Pointe. The event, organized by the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office, was a fundraiser for Special Olympics. “I’ve jumped into 48degree water. There’s not much difference; it’s all the same,” said Hamrick, who coordinated the team’s participation. After the jump, team members bravely but tersely answered questions about being cold before they headed off to the dressing rooms, which had extra heaters. Plungers representing Eastern Guilford High School were dressed as a bride, groom and wedding party and were led by Gerald Martin and ninth-grade English
teacher Jennifer Kramer, who will be married April 17. Three of the school’s swim team members were sparsely dressed as Three Speedo Guys.

Pay plan could be costly BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
GUILFORD COUNTY – It could cost as much as $4.4 million a year if school district leaders want to keep teacher pay incentives. District staff has proposed a replacement for Mission Possible, which pays teachers and principals in 20 schools bonuses and higher salaries for working in schools where turnover is a problem and for teaching state-tested courses. Grants allow 10 other schools to participate. Most of the district’s funding for the program comes from a federal grant that will run out after the next school
PAY PLAN
–
Timetable: The new strategic compensation plan would go into effect in August 2011 if approved by the school board. Bonuses: The maximum award for math teachers would go up to $16,500, from $14,000, for those teaching tested subjects. The bonus for other math teachers would drop from $14,000 to a maximum of $6,500. Those at the next highest level would be third- to fifth-grade teachers who could get a maximum bonus of $8,000, up from $6,500. Custodians and bus drivers could get a bonus of as much as $750. year. The current program costs $3.2 million a year. Superintendent Mo Green told the Guilford County Board of Education Thursday the district will apply again for federal grants and will seek a
portion of the state’s Race to the Top funds if the state wins a competitive federal grant for teacher pay incentives. “We’ll have to talk with the (Guilford County) Board of Commissioners as well,”
Green told board members. “We still have some time to work on it.” Thirty participating schools would be selected based on a formula considering staffing difficulties and student performance. Targeted schools could get incentive pay for as long as five years for all employees. “Our goal is to recruit and retain teachers in hard-to-staff positions and see increases in student growth in these areas,” said Shirley Morrison, chief human resources officer. Guilford County Association of Educators President Tijuana Hayes supports the change.
“We want something to include everyone at a school,” she said. “If not, it becomes divisive.” Some board members may look for savings. “We should have money for performance, but I can’t support this unless it is leaner and meaner,” said at-large board member Sandra Alexander. “I have concerns about where the money will come from.” Currently, principals in targeted Mission Possible schools receive incentive pay of as much as $15,000. Under the proposed plan, the principal’s maximum bonus would drop to $10,000. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Jeffrey Alan Wilson HIGH POINT – Jeffrey Alan Wilson, 32 was called home to be with the Lord on the early morning of February 24, 2010 following a long battle with an illness. His soul is now resting with the Lord. Jeff was born to Thomasine Wilson and the late Donald Lovette on April 25, 1977 at High Point Regional Hospital. He attended Guilford County Schools and graduated from Andrews High School, Class of 1996. Preceding his illness Jeff was employed at Oak Hollow Mall by ERMC. Pete, as he was lovingly called by the family, had a giving spirit and absolutely loved spending time with his family, especially the children. Although Jeff never had any children of his own, it never stopped him from being a father figure to many. He had a spirit about him that easily allowed for everyone that met him to instantly feel comfortable around him. Anyone that knew Jeff would tell you that he was the type of person that would give you the shirt off his back or the last dollar in his pocket and never expect a thing in return. Jeff never complained, even when his sickness made him unbearably ill. He would do whatever he could to help whoever he could. Each one of us has been personally impacted in some way or another just by having the opportunity to have met Jeff. We are grateful to have had him in our lives
even if only for a season. Those left waiting until the day they see his face again include his mother Thomasine (Danny) Wilson of the home, sister Tina (Darron) McInnis of High Point, paternal grandmother Mrs. Eloise Lovette of High Point, a host of cousins, nephews, and many, many friends, including a special aunt who was more like a second mother, Pamela Wilson of High Point, a special aunt, Faye Nicholson of Brown Summit and special friends including Nicky Clark of High Point, JJ McQueen of Maryland, and Johnny Lowe of New York. Family members that preceded him in death include his father Donald Lovette, and maternal grandparents Thomas and Elizabeth Wilson. We are grateful to God that the Lord relieved Jeff of his suffering and find comfort in knowing that we will see him again when this life is over. The funeral service will be held Monday, March 1, 2010 at First Emmanuel Baptist Church. Visitation will be at 2:00 and the funeral service will be held at 2:30. The family will receive visitors at the church and later at 411 Park Street. Floral Arrangements can be sent to Phillips Funeral Service, 1810 Brockett Street. Burial will follow at Carolina Biblical Gardens., Jamestown, NC. Final arrangements entrusted to Phillips Funeral Service.

Maggie Valley seeks grant to help with landslide repair MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Maggie Valley town leaders are going after a federal grant that, if awarded, will help fund work to stabilize the slideprone area at the top of Buck Mountain where a massive mudslide originated three weeks ago.

Poll: Burr loses popularity RALEIGH (AP) – More North Carolina adults are forming a negative opinion about U.S. Sen. Richard Burr as the Republican lawmaker heads into his re-election bid, according to a poll released Friday. The Elon University survey shows 40 percent of those interviewed approved of how Burr is handling his job. About 35 percent disapproved,
while 25 percent didn’t know. A similar poll conducted by Elon in October showed that 37 percent approved of Burr’s work, 22 percent disapproved and 41 percent didn’t know. Burr faces opponents in May’s GOP primary while several Democrats are looking to challenge Burr in the November general election. Elon University Poll

The EWP was instituted by Congress to provide monetary relief in emergency situations created by natural disasters when there is imminent danger to life and property. If approved, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, an arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, will provide up to 75 percent of the construction cost to stabilize the top of the mountain. The remaining cost-share must come from local sources.

Lutherans eye fallout over gay clergy issue BY PATRICK CONDON ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
Until a few weeks ago, the Rev. Gail Sowell was pastor at two Lutheran churches in the small Wisconsin town of Edgar. That was before members of both congregations jumped headfirst into the simmering debate over gay clergy in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. “It was pretty gruesome,� Sowell said, recalling shouting matches inside the sanctuary; the mass resignation of one church’s council, save one member; even whispers around town that she was a lesbian. “For the record, I’m not,� she said. When the smoke cleared, the congregation at St. John Lutheran Church narrowly voted to not leave the ELCA. Across town at Peace

LEONARD PITTS: On race and the Tea Party. TOMORROW

Protesters should drink that tea responsibly Before we all get drunk on that tea, it would be good for us to remember the sobering realities that got us here. Those that want the Tea Party to succeed need to be careful that your movement isn’t hijacked by that self righteous wing of the Republican Party. They sell their souls to the highest bid, this years winning bidders are the health insurance companies that filled their campaign coffers with millions. Our current economic condition today is the direct result of a Republican controlled Congress from 1994 to January 2007, they had that Contract on America. Remember that Congress had three strikes you’re out, sending folks to prison for 10 years for stealing a $4 pair of socks. Made us feel good that he was off the streets, at the cost of $45,000 a year. A large percentage of contributions for those congressmen were unions representing prison guards. Job security is my guess. That poor slob is still in prison and we’re still paying the bill. They changed tax laws that encouraged your past employer to move your job to a foreign country, were you even asked to relocate? The best legislation from this group was the removal of the Glass-Stegall Act, a law was created in the Great Depression to prevent this great recession. Then in 2005 they changed the bankruptcy code, credit card debt cannot be disposed of. Half of those congressmen that voted for this filed for bankruptcy themselves. Their campaign contributions came from the banks that we are bailing out today. If the Tea Party really wanted

to save this country, they would be better served by folks looking out for our interest and not the congressmen on the hook to corporations. Keep drinking that tea, don’t get hijacked. Pray for peace. JAMES BRIGHAM High Point
Mall had restrictions on children in past After reading the “Oak Hollow: Teens Welcome” article, I did some research which revealed that nearly six years ago Oak Hollow did implement restrictions on unaccompanied children under the age of 13. While this policy was not as stringent as the one enacted by Hanes Mall, it certainly does prove there was a policy in place at one time, contradicting the “open arms” gesture mall management is now trying to portray.

Archdale plans a gateway
D
espite this winter’s harsh weather, Interstate 74/U.S. 311 Bypass construction is proceeding, and the city of Archdale has shifted into high gear in preparing for when the highway opens later this year. On Tuesday, City Council approved a plan to improve the stretch of N.C. 62 between Aldridge and Penman roads, which essentially will become an eastern gateway to the city when the interstate project is completed. Overall, the plan, officially known as the N.C. 62 Corridor Access Plan, looks like positive steps for the growing city. The plan calls for widening the Aldridge/Penman stretch to four lanes with a median and left turn lanes to improve safety and traffic flow. Improvements to several intersections along the way also would be made. And in a prudent planning move, the document also sets out recommendations and specifications for driveways and access points that will help in planning for new develop that surely will occur in that area after completion of roadwork. The plan even accommodates pedestrian and cycling traffic. But Tuesday’s action and the six-month study that proceeded it likely were the easy parts of this plan – unless someone drops off a pile of cash at Archdale City Hall. The corridor plan contains no cost estimates, but it does note a number of local, state and federal avenues through which funding can be sought. Of course, the problem today is that many of those funding sources are shrinking. So now, city officials must go into overdrive to figure out how this plan can be funded.

This three-pointer indicates newspaper game isn’t over
N
o doubt you have read/heard a lot of commentary lately about the demise of newspapers, the impact of the Internet on print journalism and that young people no longer are interested in the career field. I’ve got good news on all three fronts. As for the first point, let me paraphrase Mark Twain with “the report of the death of newspapers was an exaggeration.” To help set the record straight about what may be Twain’s most repeated statement, I turned to the www.twainquotes.com Web site. “There are many variations of the ‘report of my death’ quote,” the site points out, then offers proof with a copy of Twain’s handwriting in a note written in May 1897. It reads: “James Ross Clemens, a cousin of mine, was seriously ill two or three weeks ago in London but is well now. The report of my illness grew out of his illness, thus report of my death was an exaggeration.” Several other sites note that Twain several years later revised the end of the statement, reciting it as “report of my death was greatly exaggerated.” As for the second point, a report from PRESSTIME Publisher Update offers some good news for newspaper Web site advertising. The printed version of PRESSTIME, which until May 2009 had been a magazine for Newspaper Association of America (NAA), has been replaced with PRESSTIME Publisher Update, an electronic publication available only to NAA members. “In a world where consumers admit their opinions of online advertising vary based on the Web sites they are visiting at the time of exposure, newspaper sites are seen as the most trustworthy source of ads, according to a justreleased comScore 2009 survey commissioned by NAA,” the PRESSTIME Publisher Update reported. “Consumers say they trust ads on newspaper sites more than those on portals, specialty sites, social networks or local TV and radio sites,” the report continued. “Newspaper online ads are perceived to be more credible, more local and more current, hailing from more familiar sources. Plus, consumers say newspaper sites offer a combination of advertising and local content. The new research also shows that consumers express a high level of interest in local content and that local newspaper sites have the greatest overall reach as a source of local online information.
“Newspaper sites are perceived to be the most trustworthy of all sources for every type of content.” As for the third point, during the spring semester, seven students from one of the Dr. Lona Cobb-led journalism courses at OPINION Winston-Salem State University are visiting The High Point EnTom terprise via the newspaper’s ediBlount tor-for-a-night program. The first ■■■ two aspiring journalists to visit – Jordan M. Howse and Jamie Hunter – both have expressed keen interest in careers in print journalism. Meanwhile, a college freshman applicant for a reporting internship with the Enterprise this summer offers additional insight. “Whenever I’m asked by people about my intended major and I share with them my dream of going to journalism school, without fail the same question always follows: ‘Do you think you’ll still be able to find a job?’ “And I always respond with a respectful, yet confident ‘yes,’ ” she wrote in her letter of application. “These realistically-thinking inquisitors aren’t bursting my bubble; I know the future of journalism is nothing less than hazy. But just like that perfect lead; a successful career in journalism may seem impossible, but it’s not out of reach with patience and dedication. “And nothing has taught me the art of dedication better than my first semester in college. My new home at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is consistently known for two things: the basketball team, and the awardwinning student newspaper that reports about it. Needless to say I was thrilled when I was accepted on the sports desk of the best college newspaper in the country: The Daily Tar Heel. There’s no greater feeling than seeing your name on a byline.” Worry not. Judging from the talent and enthusiasm offered by the newest and youngest members of the Enterprise reporting staff and many of the young people now attending journalism and communications schools, print journalism is attractive, alive and well, and will be for quite some time to come, especially now that it once again is reinventing itself.

We need There’s no valid excuse for prison crisis a party T of ‘no’ I
n 1978, Saturday Night Live performed a mock horror movie skit titled, “The Thing That Wouldn’t Leave.” John Belushi played an insensitive house guest who over-stayed his welcome. No matter how hard Jane Curtain and Bill Murray tried to get Belushi to leave, Belushi ignored them and acted as if nothing was wrong. Fast forward almost 32 years and now we have another thing that won’t leave: It’s called socialized health care. No matter how loud the American people scream (literally), President Obama and liberal Democrats won’t give up their pursuit of this massive new government program. England and Canada are countries that have government run health care. Earlier this month, Danny Williams, the premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, came to America for what his spokeswoman called “minimally invasive” heart surgery. If Canada has such a great health care system, why did a Canadian provincial leader have surgery in Florida? OPINION In England, the Daily Mail recentMike ly reported that Hughes “British cancer ■■■ and heart attack victims are more likely to die than almost anywhere in the developed world.” The same article showed that the U.S. was the leader in breast and bowel cancer survival rates from 2002 to 2007. Scott Atlas of the Hoover Institution recently wrote, “Canadian and British patients wait about twice as long [as Americans] … to see a specialist, have elective surgery … or get radiation treatment for cancer.” I recently read a statement from an Australian national who claimed government run health care in Australia is great. Apparently the Australian Health Care Reform Alliance disagrees. The AHCRA claims that Australia has a chronic shortage of doctors and nurses, insufficient focus on prevention and primary care, inefficient allocation of funds, and many Australians can’t access health care when and where they need it. Isn’t it interesting that the problems AHCRA sees in Australia are the same problems that most Americans cite as reasons for being against government run health care? It’s also interesting that AHCRA sees a health gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Isn’t providing care for the poor supposedly one of the main reasons why liberals want the public option? Why hasn’t the Australian government provided adequate care for their Indigenous people? What makes anyone believe that our government would do a better job? Liberals cite infant mortality rates as a reason why we need government run health care. In 2006, U.S. News and World Report explained that differences in reporting falsely make other countries look better than the U.S. The article also pointed out that the loss of American babies in their first year of life has fallen 70 percent since 1970. Isn’t it ironic that liberals who claim to be concerned about infant mortality rates want to force doctors and hospitals to perform abortions against their will? And they want you and me to fund abortions with our tax dollars! The people in America who still support government run health care should think about what they want. Do they want a system that provides all Americans with high quality health care for a fair price? Or do they want someone else to pay their bills? They can’t have both.

he numbers tell the tale. North Carolina will have a shortage of 3,500 prison beds by June 30 of this year and will lack more than 8,000 beds by 2019 if present trends continue. The data reveals both a short- and long-term crisis. The short-term crisis is real, but there is no way our state will magically produce an additional 3,500 prison beds by the end of this fiscal year even if we did not have the current state budget deficits. More problematic is the unlikely prospect of building enough capacity to match the projected need in nine years, especially since our state treasurer has said the state should not borrow more money. Short-term solutions will focus on a combination of new prison beds, accelerated paroles for current prisoners, redefining which crimes truly warrant incarceration and further restructuring of sentencing guidelines.
There is no crime wave fueling the current prison crisis; in fact, statistics indicate a decrease in most crime categoMY SPIN ries. And we are Tom not locking up a Campbell disproportion■■■ ate percentage of our residents. Legislators were recently told we have the second-lowest percentage of population behind bars in the southeastern U.S. Thirty states rank higher than North Carolina, and the percentage of incarcerations is growing at about the same rate as overall population growth, roughly 2 percent per year. The longer-term solution requires common sense, simple math, astute leadership and smart budgeting. The Census Bureau gives us a pretty accurate reading of population growth
each year. Using third grade multiplication, one can factor the number of people we are gaining in population each year by the 2 percent annual increase in prison population and quickly determine how many prison beds we need to add each year. That’s plain old North Carolina common sense. Astute leaders, knowing that demand, should be able to prioritize and allocate budgets to meet those needs. Let’s not stop there. This same approach could be applied to most all public infrastructure needs. For instance, if we know how many children should occupy a public school classroom and extrapolate from census data the ages of public school students we can, using third-grade division, get a good grasp on how many new classrooms we need to build each year. The census data will even tell us where the growth is located and where we should be constructing new classrooms.
Using this same common sense approach, North Carolina could develop similar formulas to determine where to build roads, where water and sewer systems will need to be built or expanded as well as where and how to provide for any number of other facilities or services provided by government. These illustrations may be a bit simplistic but the conclusions are accurate. There just isn’t a good excuse for getting into a crisis mode over infrastructure needs. North Carolina could resolve many of the problems we currently experience if our leaders would apply common sense and better budgeting. The failure of leadership is our biggest crisis.

Public apologies Should we all just apologize to everyone for everything?
T
iger Woods doesn’t owe me an apology. Nothing that he has ever done has cost me a dime nor an hour of sleep. This is not a plea to be “non-judgmental.” I am very judgmental about all sorts of things, including Tiger Woods’ bad behavior. But that is very different from saying that he somehow owes me an apology. For all I know, my neighbors may be judgmental when I drive out of my driveway in a 15-year-old car. But they have never said anything to me about it, and I have never offered them an OPINION apology. This is not equatThomas ing driving a Sowell 15-year-old car ■■■ with what Tiger Woods did. But the point is that any apology he might make should be made to his family, who were hurt, not to the public, who might be disappointed in him, but not really hurt. Public apologies to people who are not owed any apology have become one of the many signs of the mushy thinking of our times. So are apologies for things that somebody else did. Among the most absurd apologies have been apologies for slavery by politicians. For one thing, slavery is not something you can apologize for, any more than you can apologize for murder. If someone says to you that he
murdered someone near and dear to you, what are you supposed to say? “No problem, we all make mistakes”? Not bloody likely! Slavery is too serious for an apology and somebody else being a slaveowner is not something for you to apologize for. When somebody who has never owned a slave apologizes for slavery to somebody who has never been a slave, then what began as mushy thinking has degenerated into theatrical absurdity – or, worse yet, politics. Slavery has existed all over the planet for thousands of years, with black, white, yellow and other races being both slaves and enslavers. Does that mean that everybody ought to apologize to everybody else for what their ancestors did? Or are the only people who are supposed to feel guilty the ones who have money that others want to talk them out of? This craze for aimless
apologies is part of a general loss of a sense of personal responsibility in our time. We are supposed to feel guilty for what other people did but there are a thousand cop-outs for what we ourselves did to those we did it to. Back in the 1960s, when so many foolish ideas flourished simply because they were new, a New York Times columnist tried to make the case that we were all somehow responsible for the assassination of John F. Kennedy. That was considered to be Deep Stuff. It made you one of the special folks when you believed that, instead of one of the rest of us poor dumb slobs who believed that the man who shot him was responsible. For more than a century, the intelligentsia have been trying to get us to focus on the “root causes” of crime – supposedly created by “society” – instead of locking up thieves or executing murderers.
If some people don’t have the money or the achievements of others, that too is society’s fault, in the eyes of those for whom personal responsibility is an outmoded idea. Personal responsibility is a real problem for those who want to collectivize society and take away our power to make our own decisions, transferring that power to third parties like themselves, who imagine themselves to be so much wiser and nobler than the rest of us. Aimless apologies are just one of the incidental symptoms of an increasing loss of a sense of personal responsibility – without which a whole society is in jeopardy. The police cannot possibly maintain law and order by themselves. Millions of people can monitor their own behavior better than any third parties can. Cops can cope with that segment of society who have no sense of personal responsibility, but not if that segment becomes a large part of the whole population. Yet increasing numbers of educators and the intelligentsia seem to have devoted themselves to undermining or destroying a sense of personal responsibility and making “society” responsible instead. Aimless apologies are just one small symptom of this larger and more dangerous attitude.

Let’s recommit ourselves to helping refugees BY BADI M. ALI
T
he refugee community is facing a crisis. Lutheran Family Services’ decision not to accept more refugee families to resettle at this time is understandable. On Feb. 8, I wrote a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stating that current resettlement reimbursements were not enough to prevent homelessness. Reimbursements and supports, like Medicaid and food stamps, need to be continued on an individual case-by-case basis. Some families have experienced more trauma or have health concerns and will take longer to find work and be self-sufficient than others.
GUEST COLUMN
---
Analysts believe some Americans will be unable to find work for years in the present economy. To bring families here and then leave them with zero income after only months is tragic and inhumane. Refugees are facing a humanitarian crisis. As the economy presents more challenges, we, as a community, must recommit to our efforts to assure that basic human rights and dignity are available to all. I urge each group to consider making an ongoing pledge to a resettlement agency. It will take a vigorous effort on everyone’s
part. Religious organizations, the private sector, civic organizations, and the peace movement need to invest in the refugees. We can use the city of High Point as a successful working model. In High Point, World Relief in conjunction with the High Point Housing Authority and the community provides resettled families with immediate stable housing and other needs. In other words, the helping agencies work together with the government and community in a cooperative manner to solve problems. Policies must be changed at the federal level to guarantee that resettled refugee families do not lose their housing and
receive enough resources to keep their families safe and well. Resettlement reimbursements must be increased and made available longer in order to assure safety, housing, food and health care as refugee families work toward and become self-sufficient. Education and orientation must be provided to assure a smooth transition into their new country, community and professional environment. A diverse community, like all blessings, comes with a responsibility. If we take on the task to resettle families, we must be able to assure them dignity and safety. BADI M. ALI is president of the Islamic Center of the Triad in Greensboro.

POTATO, PO-TAH-DO: Why Toyota rather than “Toyoda?” 2C
Business: Pam Haynes PHaynes@hpe.com (336) 888-3617
Mixed blessing Get ready: Interest rate hikes bring good and bad CHICAGO (AP) — The rate hikes are coming! The rate hikes are coming! Eventually. Days after the Federal Reserve seemed to sound the alarm that the era of near-zero interest rates is ending, Chairman Ben Bernanke tempered those expectations a bit last week. Just because the Fed boosted the rate it charges banks, he told Congress, doesn’t mean it will move any time soon to boost broader interest rates too. Nonetheless, it behooves investors to be ready, regardless whether rate hikes come in the second half of 2010 or not until next year. Despite what some may think, moving toward higher rates will be good news in many ways. It’s an endorsement of the economy’s poten-
tial to soon stand on its own without the help of emergency rates. It means yields from CDs as well as savings and money-market accounts at banks won’t be minuscule much longer. It could even bode well for certain types of stocks. But higher interest rates are bad for bonds and may make some other holdings less appealing too, especially once inflation starts rising. So investors should take a close look at what they own and consider making changes. Here’s how higher rates could affect your personal finances.
BONDS Bonds are in line to experience the biggest fallout since they generally move inversely to interest rates. When
interest rates exceed the rate on a previously issued bond, the bond’s value on the open market drops. That could be costly for investors who poured more than $400 billion into bond funds since the start of 2009, according to the Investment Company Institute. Seeking stability, they could instead now be setting themselves up for a fall. Long-term bond funds could be the most vulnerable. Yet this doesn’t mean to strip your portfolio of all bond funds and other fixed-income investments. Be wary of being overly invested in bonds and consider reallocating, says Brad Sorensen, director of market and sector analysis for the Schwab Center for Financial Research in Denver. But no one knows where the market will go for certain, so it’s important to keep a longterm horizon in mind.
the Fed determines it needs to raise interest rates to try to keep the economy from growing too fast. But stocks should still climb. A Standard & Poor’s study of what happened after past rate hikes tells the story: Stocks rose at only a modestly lower rate than the norm. All told, the Fed has moved 13 times since 1946 to raise rates, usually in a series of increases lasting about 25 months. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index has risen a not-too-paltry 6.2 percent on average in the year following the start of the process, according to Sam Stovall, S&P’s chief investment strategist. What’s more, some sectors have been big winners over those 12 months following the first rate hike, with technology stocks jumping an average 20 percent higher and health care stocks up 13 percent. Tread carefully, though. Some sectors have been big laggards STOCKS Overall market returns when rates rise, notably utilimay be harder to come when ties, financials and materials.

SAVING AND BORROWING Long-suffering savers can look forward to a time when their money can grow at a decent clip again while sitting in the bank. Currently, rates for one-year CDs are under 1.7 percent, savings and money-market bank accounts often below 1 percent and money-market mutual funds hovering just above zero. At the same time, rising rates will make mortgages and other loans more expensive. If you’re thinking about buying a home or refinancing an existing mortgage, it might be time to consider locking in those low-low rates. All these trends are likely to be gradual, and hinge on a Fed decision that still appears months away. But financial planners are making it a priority to talk with clients about what it all means and prepare for the inevitable.

BUSINESS PROFILE

Machine company crosses finish line of success BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
THOMASVILLE – When you find the chance to race to success – take it. That motto may sum up the long, winding road that Robert Barnard had to take while building his company, Eaglestone Technology, over the last 17 years. Barnard was a tool maker and mold maker in the plastic injection molds sector when he opened his company in 1993. Before the plastics industry went overseas, Barnard had hoped he could own and operate his own facility in Thomasville. Little did he know that it was another industry, and an account with a company that sells transmissions to NASCAR, that would finally position him as what he always wanted to be – the leader of his own business. While working as a master mold maker and a tool maker, Barnard opened his first business that centered around the building and manufacturing of plastic injection molds. He worked his normal day job, then devoted the rest of his day to his company. “I didn’t pay myself for that first year,” he said. “That was a very, very long year.” The next five years didn’t prove to be any less stressful, though he did leave his day job and focus on his business full time. Barnard said he worked 16-18 hours a day trying to get the business going, which began with little cash flow. A few years later, he noticed that he couldn’t

Robert Bernard, with CNC-machined component, and the parent machine in the background. compete against companies who outsourced their plastic production to overseas facilities. “In 1999, a lot of different ratings told me the U.S. was farming out over 50 percent of its plastic molds and dyes,” he said. “Certified plastic injection mold makers were asking for $20 to $22 per hour here (in the U.S.).” In 2002, Barnard decided to make a switch to a new industry - the machining, production work and prototype sector. Rather than producing plastic injection molds, he reshaped the business so that it now produced tooling for the dye stamping industry, plastic injection mold industry, pharmaceuticals industry and several others. For example, the company produces tooling for the soft gel capsule sector in the pharmaceutical industry. It also produces some mechanical parts on a contract basis. Barnard said his machining company spans to a lot of niche markets, but it also serves the racing industry.

Barnard worked with the companies and gave them quotes, but most of the contracts fell through. That’s when he went on a search of his own and made a contact that would earn his business more than $1 million.
The contact was with Jasper Engines and Transmissions, which produces the transmissions for the Joe Gibbs Racing Team. Barnard sat down with the company, which was looking to produce a transmission with steel components, one of Eaglestone’s specialties. This time, the contract panned out. “Today, that is 40 percent of what we’re

doing,” Barnard said about the production of the Sprint Cup racing transmission. While the machining and production world continues to be hard on business owners like Barnard (he believes that 2009 was the worst year he’s ever seen in business) he’s been through hard times before. What’s important is that he landed the important account that has brought him, as well as several NASCAR superstars like Kyle Busch, across the finish line. If the economy continues to improve, he says the company may expand from machining and contract production to creating its own product in the future. Until then, he’s speeding along with hope for the future. “If you go straight to fortune and fame, that’s a different story,” he said. “For me, it wasn’t that way, but I always knew I wanted to be the boss of my own company.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617
LONDON (AP) – A Nike Inc. executive says the U.S. sports outfitter is cautiously optimistic about overall trading prospects for the year, with sales of its soccer-related kit already up dramatically ahead of this year’s World Cup. Brand president Charlie Denson said total revenue growth likely will mirror a global economic recovery, with the 32-nation World Cup in South Africa helping extend the company’s lead over rival Adidas. Denson declined to put a figure on Nike’s expected sales of soccer-related products for this year but said that “from a revenue standpoint, we feel we’re the biggest and best football company in the world.” Adidas, which is sponsoring 12 of the teams at the June 11-July 11 World Cup as well as the event itself, has forecast beating 2008’s record sales of football-related products of €1.3 billion ($1.8 billion). The Nike logo will be on the shirts of nine competing nations. “Our football numbers going into the world cup are up dramatically,” Denson told The Associated Press in London, where the company is launching key products related to the tournament. Nike, the world’s largest athletic shoe and clothing company, bought England team sponsor Umbro in 2007, a key acquisition to a stable that includes Brazil, Portugal and Holland.

Lucky number is reason for Toyota spelling change TOKYO (AP) — With Akio Toyoda’s name in the news — the Toyota president faced lawmakers’ questions Wednesday at a Washington hearing on safety issues that sparked massive vehicle recalls — here’s one more question: Why the different spellings? The company is “Toyota.� But Toyoda spells his name with a “d,� as
did his grandfather, who founded the automaker. Why the phonetic switcheroo? It goes back to 1937 when Kiichiro Toyoda established his new company. In choosing a moniker, he decided to replace the final consonant of his surname with a ‘t’ to soften the last syllable. Not only did it sound better, “Toyota� takes exactly eight brushstrokes
to write in katakana, one of the two phonetic alphabets in Japanese. “Toyoda� requires 10. Eight, widely known as a lucky number in China, is also fortuitous in Japan. Its luck stems from the way “eight� is written two strokes side by side, placed so that the character resembles an open mountain top. For the Japanese, the wider base symbolizes
growth and prosperity in the future, which is exactly what Toyoda hoped for both his company and country. The spelling tweak also served as a symbolic break from Japan’s agricultural past. “Toyoda� literally means “fertile rice fields.� Toyota the company, however, sought success through innovation and manufacturing prowess.

RALEIGH -- After a recession-filled 2009 that brutalized boat dealers, 2010 brings hope: People are returning to boat shows, and some are in the buying mood. Dealers brought about 250 boats to the Jim Graham Building at the N.C. State Fairgrounds last weekend for the Carolina Powerboat Show and Sale. Organizers estimated 6,500 to 7,000 people would come through the gate, 2,000 or so more than last year. The frequent exhibitions of awater-skiing squirrel didn’t hurt. In addition to the boats, which included everything from $500 kayaks to a 30-foot cabin cruiser with an asking price of $113,685, attendees could watch Twiggywater-ski around a shallow pool, pulled by a remote-control boat. More than 200 gathered around the pool at 2 p.m. Sunday for the 10-minute show, adding a bit of levity to a business atmosphere that could use it. Last year was the worst Frank Hughes has seen in his 14 years in the boatselling world. Everyone was nervous about the economy, he said, and held tight to their discretionary money. Representing Cypress Cove Marina in Colum-
bia, Hughes spent a significant part of the weekend talking about the 30-foot cabin cruiser, the show’s most glamorous boat. People lined up to climb inside it, to inspect its kitchen, bathroom and barbecue grill. Consumers are beginning to see the light at the end of the recessionary tunnel and are slowly prying open their pocket books.
“Very slowly,� Hughes said. “But it’s changing.� Denise and Mark Menig of Raleigh hope to buy a boat in the near future. The couple purchased a lot in Sneads Ferry, a small community in Onslow County along the New River, and plan to move there permanently. They’re just waiting for word on their construction loan. “Pray to the big banker
upstairs,� said Denise, laughing. The two have never owned a boat, but plan to purchase one for running around in their new neighborhood. They hope to buy a deck boat, perhaps with enough room for 10 or so of their closest family members, but enough power to pull a water skier.

Working and the next recession BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES
The pervasiveness of this recession makes the option of preparing for one a no-brainer. But how? You’ll be smarter about snagging work where it is, rather than where you might like it to be. You’ll also change expectations about serial bosses and the methods by which you assure personal productivity.
‘HIGH GROUND’ Eric Darr, executive vice president and provost at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology in Harrisburg, Pa., recommends looking for “high ground,” as you might in a flood. Watch for: • industries that seem to weather recessions; • jobs that remain afloat; and • multiple skills, nurtured by training and education.
WORK STYLE You’ll also be changing the way you work, according to Leon Singletary, who anticipates larger numbers of temporary, contingent, contract and part-time workers. He’s president of the Greater Valley Forge Human Resources Association in
SPECIAL | WORKWISE FEATURES
Leon Singletary predicts that people are going to be thinking much more about employment that meets the basic requirements of life. He is president of the Greater Valley Forge Human Resources Association in Villanova, Pa. Villanova, Pa., and principal and founder of First Contact HR in nearby Fort Washington. Singletary thinks your biggest adjustment will revolve around “doing what you have to do to live,” which will fuel small-business growth. But he doesn’t think that young people will live to work. For this reason, he anticipates their spend-
ing about two years at most in each organization of their employment to get the information and contacts they need to launch a start-up. He also expects them to work for multiple employers simultaneously. “Look for individuals with strong, specific skill sets, such as accountants, graphic designers, marketing and advertising professionals and others,”
he says, “to spread their work among several companies at once.” Changing your manner on the job is also essential. San Francisco’s Leila Towne, executive coach and OD consultant, endorses results-oriented thinking over short-term thinking on the basis of “day to day or project to project.” Analyze your current practices in light
of reduced budgets. Intensify your customer focus, both internally and externally. As part of this preparation, “meet with your boss and clearly state how you affect revenue, product or service creation or delivery, or customer retention,” she says. “Consider ‘back office’ functions as necessary and value-added so that the contribution is clear.”
Towne maintains you’ll enhance your awareness of the need to do more with less. In the past, people who didn’t meet or exceed expectations could hide a little more easily, she observes. Increased leanness is putting you under greater scrutiny. Being aware of your fiscal contribution – and self-promoting – will help ease the situation. If your boss is “asking how you feel you’re adding value to the company, how you’re contributing to the big goals and the company’s values,” don’t hold back. Increased accountability will communicate to others your critical contributions. Finally, expect to work longer. Opinion Research Corp., on behalf of Work+Life Fit Inc., of Madison, N.J., recently conducted a telephone survey of 757 fully-employed adults. An enormous 90 percent testify to the recession’s impact on their careers. Almost half (47 percent) won’t stop out, which provides ramifications for childcare and eldercare. Take note that this figure represents women (56 percent) and men (40 percent). DR. MILDRED L. CULP, Workwise Features, is an award-winning journalist.

“World Famous” Traveling Buy Show is Coming to the We Buy Treasure Center in High Point Cash in your attic? This week visitors will cash in on antiques, gold, silver, coins, and collectibles - many in for a surprise!
By Anne-Marie Thompson The Great Treasure Hunt STAFF WRITER
Could thousands of dollars be collecting dust in your closet or attic? Bring your valuables on down to the Great Treasure Hunt Antique and Collectible Buy Show in High Point and leave with cash in hand! The Treasure Hunters are located at the We Buy Treasure Center from Tuesday until Saturday to pump money back into the rapidly declining economy.
and rare vintage guitars. Just recently, 82-yearold Ben Williams of Green Bay, WI came to visit the Treasure Hunters. He had antiques passed down from his mother, including a 150-year-old oak coffee table with painted detail and a lamp dating back to the 1910s. When asked about the condition the
With unemployment reaching 11.1% in North Carolina, there is no doubt that High Point locals are in need of fast cash. The Treasure Hunters will make an offer for anything of value, so come down to the We Buy Treasure Center for a free appraisal. “We will sort through boxes of collectibles and bags of coins and jewelry if you let us,” says Treasure Hunter Kenny Davis, but that is not all they buy. They have purchased anything from comic books and tin toys to basketball jerseys
The Treasure Hunters will be set up at the We Buy Treasure Center at 1642 S Main St in High Point Tuesday - Friday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
We are one of the nation’s LARGEST buyers of vintage guitars Fender: Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jaguar, Esquire, Precision & Jazz Bass, Jazz Master & Acoustics Martin: D-45, D-28, D-18
coffee table was kept, Ben replied, “I’ve never let a sole on it.” All humor aside, the Treasure Hunters met his asking price, paying higher than any other buyer. “The Treasure Hunters were very fair, and I know the table is going in the right hands,” Ben said. The easiest way to know what coins are of value, the Treasure Hunters explain, is to look at the date. U.S. coins made before 1965 are valuable because of their high silver content, and they can be worth more if they happen to be a rare date. The Treasure Hunters can test precious metals on site, as well. If there is any doubt of the carat content, the experts will be able to find out within minutes. They will buy broken chains, earring studs, diamonds, class rings, and much, much more. Nothing is too big or too small. Judy came in yesterday to sell her old jewelry. “I can’t believe I almost threw my broken chains away!”
she said. “I’m so glad I checked [the Buy Show] out!” Scrap gold and coins are the most common items they buy, but there have been some interesting finds. Just recently someone came in with an African soul washer. After a quick call to verify the value, the Treasure Hunters made a hefty offer and a happy exchange. Some other purchased treasures include a baseball jersey belonging to St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Stan Musial, the estate of late baseball Hall of Famer Ty Cobb, and a certified 3-carat diamond engagement ring. Sharon Egan of Canton, OH brought in her father’s old baseball cards, hoping to make some fast cash. “My daughter is turning 5,” she said, smiling. “I want to throw her a big birthday party.” The cards had been sitting in her attic since her father passed away, and she said she had never considered that they might be worth money. The sale
Rickenbacker, Dobro, Gretsch, National & more. Also buying many models of guitars, amps, vintage microphones, violins, steel guitars & mandolins for our extensive collectors network.
FREE ADMISSION
March 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 We Buy Treasure Center Come See Us In:
How It Works After just a few moments you will be asked to come and have a seat at a table with one of our Treasure Hunters. In order to expedite the process, we ask that you place all your items on the table in front of you so that we may easily see them. If you have coins, please separate them into denominations. By doing this, you will assist in making the process smoother. Our Treasure Hunters will divide your items into two categories:
1. Items we would like to purchase. 2. Items we are not interested in purchasing. This does not mean that these items do not have value, but they simply are not in demand in our network of collectors. Once the items are separated, we will make an offer on the items we are interested in purchasing. This offer is based on the current market value. We use a number of resources to obtain this price, including results of recently completed auctions. If you have a certain price in mind for your items, please do not hesitate to tell our associates. This information could help to make a deal rather than lose one. Should you choose to accept our offer, we will give you a prompt cash payment.
Civil War, WWI, WWII, Revolutionary War, Spanish-American War etc. Items of interest include: • Swords • Bayonets • Badges • Literature • Photos • Uniforms • Medals • Knives • Gear • Manuals Foreign & U.S. Many swords wanted.
- Team member Chris Wagner While the Treasure Hunters cannot purchase everything brought in, they welcome anyone and everyone to come by with their items. The Treasure Hunters will be set up at the We Buy Treasure Center at 1642 S Main St in High Point Tuesday - Friday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., so stop by for a free appraisal.

Friends and families often travel together to make the Great Treasure Hunt Antique and Collectible Buy Show a fun event. Treasure Hunter Matt Block recalls, “Two women came in with their old gold jewelry. They had made it a contest to see
extra cash. She brought her out-ofstyle gold jewelry and some broken chains. “I didn’t think they would be worth much, but I’m starting my own business from home, so every little bit counts.”

On the Treasure Hunters’ last trip to Pottsville, PA, they discovered an unexpected gem. Treasure Hunter Will Whitaker reports, “I couldn’t believe we had come across a Gibson F-5 because they are so rare!” With a speedy call to Kenny Davis, the Treasure Hunters quickly learned of the mandolin’s authenticity. It was genuine. The Treasure Hunters met the seller’s asking price enthusiastically, and the Gibson F-5 became a found treasure. The seller made a very large profit

The little bit she hoped for ballooned to an even $2000, which was more than enough cushion for her new catering business. With gold at an all-time high, it is no wonder she received such a large sum. “What’s great,” Jane exclaimed, “is that this was all just sitting in an old jewelry box in the back of my closet!” The Treasure Hunters turned her unwanted jewelry into much needed cash in less than 15 minutes.

Lovin’ it: McDonald leads UNC past Wake BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
WINSTON-SALEM – As the seconds ticked away, North Carolina coach Roy Williams slumped to one knee and was steadied by two of his assistants. The brief blackout – a recurrence of a medical condition dating to his teenage years, according to Williams – came as the Tar Heels finished taking advantage of Wake Forest’s shooting blackout for the second straight game. Sparked by a career-high 16 points from reserve freshman guard Leslie McDonald, UNC prevailed 77-68 at the Joel Coliseum as the Demon Deacons shot a season-low 29.7 percent from the field by missing 52 of 74 attempts. Will Graves added 13 points and Larry Drew II had 10 as every Tar Heel who saw action scored and UNC (15-14, 4-10 ACC) avoided dropping below .500. Wake, losing its third straight game, fell to 18-8, 8-6.
Williams said he decided to give McDonald more minutes based on his improved play in practice. “We got a good effort out of everybody who got in the game, but we were fortunate that Wake missed a lot of shots,” Williams said. Ari Stewart led the Deacons with 16 points, followed by L.D. Williams with 14 and Ish Smith with 12. But the trio went 14 of 50 to do it, sometimes shooting wildly as Smith missed 16 of his 21 shots and Williams failed on 10 of 13. Wake’s inside game was almost nonexistent as UNC clogged the lane. Al-Farouq Aminu took just seven shots and scored seven points. Tony Woods started at center and saw little action after scoring eight points in the first half. Chas McFarland had just two points. The poor shooting came a week after Wake hit just 23 of 66 shots as it lost to N.C. State. Wake had not played since then. “We’re just not scoring the ball well enough to win,” Wake coach Dino Gaudio said. “We’re
guarding well enough. We held them to 40 percent shooting, and we had just 11 turnovers. But we’re not shooting well. We’ve got to come to practice Monday and screen better and run our offenses better.” The performance was so bad that Gaudio said he sat down with his players in the locker room after the game and delivered a message: “I told them this game isn’t that complex,” Gaudio said. “When you lose on a consistent basis, you are not doing the fundamentals.” As poorly as the Deacons shot, they managed to lead 42-41 on Aminu’s foul shot with 12:56 left. UNC then took control for good with a 16-5 run that began with a 3 from McDonald that put the Heels ahead 44-42. With a late spurt, Wake got as close as 71-68 on Williams’ 3 with 55 seconds left. A layup by McDonald and four free throws sealed the victory, the first by UNC over someone other than N.C. State in its last 13 games. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519
HPU romps over PC ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
HIGH POINT – The High Point University men’s basketball team took a 67-48 win over Presbyterian on Senior Night on Saturday night at the Millis Center. It was the final home game for Cruz Daniels and Eugene Harris. Corey Law led HPU in scoring for the first time with 18 points and pulled down 15 rebounds. The 18 points was a career-high for Law and he posted his fifth double-double in the last 11 games. Simms went 3-for-3 from downtown and finished the regular season shooting 53.3 percent (24-45) from three-point range. “I’m really happy we played well all year at home. You’ve got to be happy with a 12-1 home record,” said HPU head coach Scott Cherry. “I’m happy for the two seniors. It’s always a tough night to play on Senior Night but I thought they handled it well and we got the win. Unfortunately we left it up to other teams and now we have to go on the road and play a really good UNC Asheville team.” Harris ended the night with 11 points and four rebounds and went 4-for-4 from the free throw line. Daniels blocked five shots and grabbed four rebounds. Sophomore Nick Barbour scored 17 points. High Point improved to 15-14 overall and 108 in the Big South with the win. HPU more than doubled its conference win total from last year.

State’s victory eases Smith’s pain CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Tracy Smith could withstand the pain in his right knee if it meant a North Carolina State victory. The Wolfpack suffered a scare when Smith, the team’s leading scorer, favored his knee after a collision with Miami’s Durand Scott late in the
Atlantic Coast Conference game on Saturday. Smith went to the bench, but returned on the next dead ball to help lead N.C. State to a 71-66 win over the Hurricanes. Smith and Javier Gonzalez each scored 19 points to lead the Wolfpack. “My knee is a little sore, but the win helps take a lot
of the pain away,” Smith said. “We were hungry to get this game. It’s very tough to win an ACC game on the road. I couldn’t get up at the time I got hurt. When I went to the bench and felt everything was in place for me to return.” The Wolfpack (16-13, 410) took the lead for good on Dennis Horner’s two
free throws with 1:10 left for a 64-63 advantage. Gonzalez converted six free throws in the next 35 seconds to secure the victory. “My concentration the last 4 minutes is as if I’m a new player,” Gonzalez said. “Coming down the stretch and getting this win is huge.”
DCCC advances to District 7 title game SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE
LEXINGTON – Two years of heartbreak ended in an emphatic way Saturday for the Davidson County Community College men’s basketball team. The Storm crushed Southwest Virginia 113-63 in the Region X Tournament championship game
at Brinkley Gym, advancing to a one-game playoff for the District 7 title next week and a spot in the NJCAA Division III finals. “It makes it a little sweeter,” said Storm coach Matt Ridge, whose team lost the league title game the past two years. “Hopefully we have at least one more good game in us so we can
get on a plane and fly to Delhi, N.Y.” The eight-team championship is played in Delhi from March 11-13. DCCC plays host to Region 20 winner Montgomery College-Germantown (Md.) next Saturday at 3 p.m. Against Southwest, Justin Glover starred with 29 points and nine rebounds,
while Roderick Geter went 6-for-12 on 3-pointers and finished with 20 points. Zack Williams had 15 points and 11 boards, Kimani Hunt had 15 points and 10 rebounds, and Eric Potts and Phillip Williams each had 11 points. Robbie Rives added 10 points, Williams had 10 assists and Potts snared seven boards.
HIT AND RUN

T
he 2010 Winter Olympics will be remembered for many unexpected things. The Vancouver Games started with tragedy when a luger from the nation of Georgia died in a crash during practice prior to the opening ceremonies. The lack of snow in Vancouver and surrounding locales throughout the Games proved a major point of discussion and international ridicule. Canada’s smaller-than-anticipated medal haul made news, as did Lindsey Vonn’s health and the high-flying Shaun White.
But for me, the biggest story out of Vancouver was the performance of U.S. alpine skier Bode Miller. Miller entered the 2006 Olympics as a favorite to medal in several events, only to be shut out. Four years later, Miller came out of nowhere to take three medals – gold in the super-combined, silver in the super-G and bronze in downhill. Saturday’s slalom marked his final race. Miller’s daring, all-or-nothing, go-for-broke style reminds me of Phil Mickelson in golf.
In both cases, you’re often left asking “What will they do next?” In Miller’s case, he exorcised the ghosts of 2006. The 32-year-old’s fourth and final Olympics proved a smashing success. Miller’s five Olympic medals overall (he won two silvers at Salt Lake City in 2002) make him the most decorated U.S. alpine skier in history. And that’s worth remembering.

Trinity grapplers take seconds at state BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE
GREENSBORO – With one of the deeper 2A teams in the state, Trinity coach Kyle Spencer appeared to have one of the more enviable jobs among those in attendance at the Greensboro Coliseum for the NCHSAA individual wrestling championships Saturday. That was until standout Nick Vetell’s hamstring gave out for a second time in his 152-pound class championship final. “He tore his hamstring yesterday in the first round,” Spencer said. “Something like that is going to nag you and nag you. That’s the main thing
you use to push off in wrestling and it’s gone.” The injury marred what was an otherwise brilliant couple of days for the Bulldogs. Vetell was the second of Trinity’s 14 participants to place second, as junior Joseph Anders was defeated in the 130-pound weight class championship. “It means a lot to me,” Anders said of his performance. “My sophomore year, I finished sixth in the state. I wasn’t happy about being the low man on the podium, so I wanted to be the top dog this year. I came up a little bit short, but I have another year.” Anders must have been listening to the encour-
agement of his coach, as Spencer seconded his player’s assessment of Trinity’s promising season to come. “They just really came together as a group,” added Spencer. “We’ve got so many freshmen this year. As the season went on, you could kind of see them coming closer and closer together. There were times that it was a bit of a roller coaster, but we’re young. We’re only losing three of 14 wrestlers and I think sometimes people lose sight of that. “I’m going to tell you – I love those freshmen,” Spencer continued. “I’m really excited for next year. There’s a lot of good things going on.”
Locals perform well in state finals BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE
GREENSBORO – If nothing else, Saturday’s March of Champions at the NCHSAA state wrestling championships fixed a spotlight on the bright future of the area’s top junior-laden programs. Headlined by Thomasville star Ronta Burgess, the returning crop of athletes makes 2011 look extremely promising. In the 135-pound segment of the 2A finals, Burgess was defeated 5-3 in
a hotly contested match against Central Carolina Conference rival Joseph Figueroa from Salisbury. “It was hard work, trying to keep the team going,” said Burgess, the Bulldogs’ lone representative in the Champions March. “He (Figueroa) got me this year, but I’ll be back next year.” In the 4A ranks, High Point Central heavyweight was wrestling for a championship late Saturday night after lengthy delays earlier at the Coliseum. In the 1A classification,
Bishop McGuinness and South Davidson represented the area well with seven participants in the consolation finals and two athletes in the finals. South seniors Cody Decamp and Chris Anderson made their way through the field before getting their shot at championships at 112 pounds (Decamp) and 215 (Anderson). Bishop was led by standouts Alex Preudhomme, Nick Sgroi, P.J. Carlson, Collin Eichhorn and Geno Guilyard. Although the five were unable to

third at 152. Preudhomme, Carlson and Guilyard each took home fourth in their respective classes. East Davidson 119pounder Jamar Har-
rington battled back from an early loss and won his final event of the 2A tournament, taking sixth place after an 11-4 decision over Maiden’s Jesse Poovey.
Chipper ready to call it quits after another bad year KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) – An offseason of reflection hasn’t softened Chipper Jones’ stance. The Atlanta Braves’ third baseman still says
he will walk away from the game if he can’t bounce back from a disappointing 2008 season. Jones, who will turn 38 in April, said this week he
won’t hang around just to collect a paycheck if he’s no longer playing up to the standards which have made him one of the best switch-hitters in history.

among those who don’t believe Jones will walk away from two years and $28 million on his contract, which runs through 2012. He signed a three-year, $42 million extension last spring that includes an option for 2013. “I never took them to heart at all,” said Cox this week of Jones’ comments. “He’ll play three more years and play them good.” Jones’ frustration and talk of retirement came after seeing his batting average drop 100 points last year. He led the National League with his .364 aver-
age in 2008 but fell to .264 last season with 31 fewer hits in almost 50 more atbats. He said last year he won’t keep playing if he doesn’t return to form this season. He’s sticking with that stance this spring. “It was a true statement,” Jones said. “If I don’t play this game at the level I want to play it at, then I will walk away from it.” Most baffling to Jones was he couldn’t blame his decline on injuries. He played in 143 games — his high mark since 2003 — and had 488 at-bats.

Snedeker stays hot in Phoenix
Pit stops don’t stop Harvick LAS VEGAS (AP) – Kevin Harvick overcame a pair of horrendous pit stops to win the Nationwide Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Harvick led 83 of the 200 laps Saturday, but had to rally after his crew cost him several spots on pit road. “You look like a bunch of idiots on pit road,” he told his Kevin Harvick Inc. crew after their first slow stop. Harvick had to methodically work his way back through the field, and found himself trailing leader Denny Hamlin late in the race. Once past Hamlin, Harvick coasted to his second career win at Las Vegas and 35th in the Nationwide Series. “I get mad, and they know how I am and what I expect of them,” Harvick said in Victory Lane. “But I learned a long time ago you can only gripe about it for so long, and then you’ve got to go back and drive the car.” Hamlin was second, followed by Carl Edwards, Brad Kesel-

Danica Patrick finished 36th in her third and final NASCAR race before she takes a fourmonth hiatus to return to IndyCar racing. She wrecked about halfway through the race when she ran into the lapped car of Michael McDowell. She had just pitted and was on fresh tires, and McDowell said he misjudged her closing rate. “I guess she was coming out on new tires, and the closing rate was so fast,” McDowell said. “I tried to give the outside, I saw her coming into it and I closed the door. It was completely 100 percent my
fault. I hate it for everyone at JR Motorsports. Like I said, I take 100 percent responsibility.” Patrick, who had climbed as high as third earlier in the race, was livid on the radio and uttered a few profanities immediately after the accident. She finally asked crew chief Tony Eury Jr. where to take her battered car. The hood folded like an accordion, she complained she couldn’t even see where she was going. “It’s gonna be all right, babe,” Eury told her. “I can barely see,” she replied. Once back in the garage, she was biting in her assessment of the accident.
“I guess I should have noticed the tape on his left-rear bumper. I probably shouldn’t have been near his left-rear bumper,” she said. “Sure enough, he turned down and took us both out. What are you going to do? It was a real bummer because I was really hooked up out there because we had new tires on it and I was probably one of the quicker cars on the track.” She also praised Harvick for pointing out the correct racing line to her early in the race. “Kevin Harvick was great actually – leading the race he was telling me to go high with him,” she said. “That was cool.”
Logano making huge strides in second season LAS VEGAS (AP) – There was nowhere to go but up this season for Joey Logano, who had a roller-coaster rookie season as the youngest driver at NASCAR’s top level. He bounced off the walls at Daytona and barrel-rolled his car at Dover. He struggled with setups, didn’t understand the language his teammates used to describe their cars and often dreaded going to the track. That he finished the year with one victory, seven top-10s and a 20th-place finish in the final standings was nothing short of a small miracle. “There were a lot of weekends last year where we were in nothing more than sur-
vival mode,” crew chief Greg Zipadelli said. So Logano’s solid start to his second season has not been lost on anyone. That 43rd-place finish in his inaugural Daytona 500 was improved to a 20th-place this year. And he was 26th last season at California, but upgraded that last week to fifth. It took Logano 17 races last season to notch his first top-five. Much of it is credited to just how much Logano, now 19, learned over that rocky first year. But there’s also a new confidence that comes with the teenager getting comfortable in NASCAR. “I feel more excited to come to the race tracks,” he said. “Last year, oh boy, Califor-
NFL may change playoff overtime format INDIANAPOLIS (AP) At least two thirds of the to the changes for new – An NFL spokesman says teams would need to agree rules to be adopted. the league could change its overtime format for playoff games at a meeting next month. Greg Aiello said Satuday that under the new format, both teams would get the ball at least once 179 Pine Woods Church Road Off Highway 109 unless the first team to get the ball scores a touchdown. If the first team to get the ball makes a field goal and the other team ties the game, action would continue until a team scores again. Under the current rules, the first team to score wins. The competition committee will discuss the new concept with teams and players at league meetings March 21-24 in Orlando, Fla., when it could come to a vote.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Brandt Snedeker is back to playing like the rising young PGA Tour star he was supposed to be. The 29-year-old Tennessean rolled in his sixth birdie of the day on No. 17 and finished at 14-under 199 for a one-shot lead over Scott Piercy in the Phoenix Open. Snedeker shot a 66, while Piercy had a pair of eagles en route to a 65 in the third round Saturday amid a loud, rowdy crowd estimated at 121,000. Rickie Fowler (69) and Matt Every (68) were two back at 12-under. Camilo Villegas, who shared the lead with Mark Wilson after two rounds, birdied the last two holes to finish even for the day and minus-11 overall. Wilson, Mark Calcavecchia and Lee Janzen were among nine at 10-under 203. The 49-year-old Calcavecchia has won the Phoenix Open three times, in 1989, 1992 and 2001. The last of his 13 PGA tour victories came in 2007.
HSBC CHAMPIONS SINGAPORE – Juli Inkster and Ai Miyazato shot 3-under 69s to share the third-round lead in the HSBC Women’s Champions. The 49-year-old Inkster is trying to become the oldest winner in LPGA history. Beth Daniel was 46 when she won the 2003 Canadian Women’s Open. Miyazato, the 24-yearold Japanese star, won the season-opener last week in Thailand.
“Thomasville Doctor Regrets Unfortunate Mistake…” An open letter to the community… Dear friend, Many of you have heard I will be admitting a mistake in this letter today. You’ve heard right, it’s time to fess up. As a doctor here in Thomasville for ten years, I’ve taken care of thousands of people. All throughout that time I’ve kept my secret. But, now, as I’ve started to come clean, instead of an investigation or a local up-roar, my patients are relieved. They under-stand, and people are still flocking to my office. I’m going to tell you what I’m admitting to, and what I regret, but I want to give you some background first.
remove nerve interference, and the body does the rest. The body is constantly striving to heal, and to be well. When nerve interference is removed, the body has a greater chance to heal. I should have made this very clear to all my patients. I regret that I haven’t because the distinction is important. So, I admit it. We get great results, but I don’t deserve the praise. The praise goes to the Creator, and this wonderful body of ours. My patients come to me with problems like headaches, migraines, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder or arm pain,
Twenty years ago my life took a dramatic turn. Twenty years ago I started college, but I was overwhelmed by intense migraine headaches that were getting worse. They made it nearly impossible to study. The medical doctors just gave me pills and said it would go away, but they didn’t. In my case they came on slowly, over years, but they worsened to the point where I could barely function. Most of my time was spent lying down in a dark room, taking handfuls of painkillers. I felt like giving up. A friend of mine convinced me to give a chiropractor a try. The chiropractor did an exam, took some films, and then “adjusted” my spine. The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. I got relief, and I finally felt like myself again. It felt great to throw away that bottle of pills. In fact, it worked so well that not only did I finish college but I went on to chiropractic school myself. I am not a miracle worker Oh, about the mistake, and the regrets I promised to tell you about. Here it is. People tell me I’m a ‘miracle worker’ because before coming to see me, often, nobody else could help them. I used to swell with pride when I heard that kind of thing. But, as time goes on, something has become very clear to me. I’m not a miracle worker. It’s a mistake to let people think I am. It’s the body that holds the miracle. I just
whiplash from car accidents, carpal tunnel syndrome, backaches, numbness in limbs and more. But, as I’ve said, it’s not ‘me’ that cures them of these problems. Here’s why making this distinction is so important. You know, people are taught from very young that ‘health comes from the outside.’ People actually believe that the answer to health always comes in the form of a pill. I don’t believe that. Health is an inside-out process. Our bodies were designed to be self-healing. What I do as a chiropractor works with the body, and not against it. That’s why the results are so profound. I know that I need to do a better job in the future telling people that, in so many cases, they don’t need to be a slave to drugs. I need to get that message out. I admit I made a mistake. It’s time to correct it. Third Leading Cause of Death The present state of our Nation’s health is appalling. Much of that is due to our faith in pills, and being responsible for our health. We wait for a
crisis, and often it’s too late. And, we are so brainwashed; believing that the only way to health is through pills. We have become a nation of pill-poppers, and people who do not want to accept responsibility. What’s the result? It’s not good. The World Health Organization recently completed a study that ranked the U.S. only twenty-ninth in health. This is a startling statistic considering the U.S. is equipped with the most modern technology, and probably some of the finest doctors. So, you’ve got to ask yourself…Are drugs and technology really the answer? On July 26, 2000, The Journal of the American Medical Association reported that, according to Johns Hopkins, medication errors are the third leading cause of death in the U.S. Is the medical establishment bad? No! But, why not consider safe and effective alternatives? Our Offer to You My name is Dr. Kris Jonasson of Health One Chiropractic. I believe that you shouldn’t have to get a loan from the bank to afford good health care. When you call and make an appointment to see me before March 26th, 2010, you’ll receive my entire $195 exam (yes, with x-rays also) for just $25. Federal recipients excluded. IF YOU DECIDE TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL TREATMENT, YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO CHANGE YOUR MIND WITHIN 3 DAYS AND RECEIVE A REFUND. You should call right away because this offer won’t last forever. Roseanna is my wonderful assistant (the one with the smile as big as Texas) and she will probably be the one who answers the phone when you call. So, call us today at 476-9600. We can help. Thank You, Kris Jonasson, D.C. P.S. If you would like your spouse, or your child to come along with you, we’ll see them for just $10. And, we won’t make you wait hours to be seen, either.

The United States’ USA-1 team, with pilot Steven Holcomb (second from left), Steve Mesler (far left), Curtis Tomasevicz and Justin Olsen (far right) celebrate their gold medal finish during the men’s four-man bobsled final at the Winter Olympics on Saturday.
U.S. digs to bobsled gold WHISTLER, British Columbia (AP) — With one more perfect run down sliding’s most difficult track, Steven Holcomb drove USA-1 to the Olympic gold medal in four-man bobsledding on Saturday, ending a 62-year drought for the Americans in the event. It was the first gold medal for the U.S. in sliding’s signature race since Francis Tyler won one for the Americans at St. Moritz in 1948. Holcomb’s four-run time was 3 minutes, 24.46 seconds, with Justin Olsen, Steve Mesler and Curt Tomasevicz pushing for him again — just as they did in winning the world championship a year ago. “This is bigger,” U.S. coach Brian Shimer said. There might not be any comparison whatsoever. German Andre Lange, who failed to win a gold medal for the first time in five Olympic events, had a nearly
perfect final run to win the silver in what he says will be his final race. Lange finished 0.38 seconds behind Holcomb and his team. Lyndon Rush drove Canada-1 to the bronze. Holcomb and his sledmates crossed the finish line one more time and threw their arms in the air before wrapping each other in American flags. Holcomb hoisted his helmet high as family and friends craned for photographs, and a party that the U.S. program had been waiting 62 years for was finally getting started. “It’s huge,” said USA-3 driver Mike Kohn, who finished 13th. “This is a great moment. It’s hopefully going to change the program and bring some publicity and some funding to this sport, just like it did in ’02 when we won silver and bronze.” Kohn was a push athlete for Bri-
an Shimer’s sled at those 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, when Todd Hays drove to silver and Shimer got the Americans a bronze. The U.S. had never been closer to being kings of the bobsled mountain — until now. A slew of U.S. teammates rushed to Holcomb’s sled when it was over, and one of the first men to offer congratulations was Geoff Bodine, the 1986 Daytona 500 champion who was the driving force behind the Bo-Dyn Bobsled Project — which funded and built the sleds Americans raced in at the Vancouver Games. “It’s a great thing for the U.S.,” Canada-2 driver Pierre Lueders said. “They’ve been competitive in bobsled for so long, but have been shut out quite a few times. He definitely is a talent, and I can’t wait to see how he’s going to do four years from now.”
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) – Bode Miller’s last chance to become the first man to win four Alpine medals at the same Olympics ended quickly Saturday. Eight seconds into his final event, he “hooked a tip” of his ski and had to give up, his second DNF in as many races since finishing 1, 2 and 3 in his first three events. Miller is one of only five men to get three Alpine medals at a games, a record performance for a U.S. skier. Giuliano Razzoli prevailed in the event, Italy’s first Alpine medal in the Winter Games in 16 years. First-leg leader Razzoli had a combined two-run time of 1 minute, 39.32 seconds. Ivica Kostelic of Croatia was 0.16 second back for his second silver medal of the Vancouver Olympics, after being runner-up to Bode Miller in super-combined last Sunday. Andre Myhrer of Sweden got bronze, trailing Razzoli by 0.44. Defending champion Benjamin Raich was fourth, 0.05 off the podium, meaning that Austria’s powerful men’s team failed to win a medal.
PARALLEL GIANT SLALOM Jasey-Jay Anderson of Canada has won the Olympic gold medal in
parallel giant slalom, overcoming Austria’s Benjamin Karl for the victory. Anderson began the second of the two-race final Saturday with a .76second deficit, but kept carving away at the lead and crossed .35 seconds ahead of the world’s topranked rider. Mathieu Bozzetto of France won bronze.
MEN’S TEAM PURSUIT Canada defeated the United States in the men’s team pursuit final, giving Chad Hedrick a silver medal in the final race of his speedskating career. The Canadian team of Denny Morrison, Lucas Makowsky and Mathieu Giroux beat the Americans across the line by 21-hundredths of a second Saturday at the Richmond Olympic Oval.
CROSS COUNTRY Justyna Kowalczyk of Poland denied Marit Bjoergen a fourth gold medal of the Olympics, beating the Norwegian in a frantic final sprint to win the 30-kilometer classical cross-country race.
CHILEAN ATHLETES Most of Chile’s athletes and coaches plan to skip the closing ceremony to get home as soon as possible following a magnitude-8.8 earthquake that has devastated their country.

HPU women take tumble at Winthrop ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
ROCK HILL, S.C. – High Point University’s women struggled offensively, falling to Winthrop by a score of 56-50 on Saturday afternoon in Rock Hill, S.C. Shamia Brown scored 13 points and grabbed eight rebounds to pace the Panthers. “The effort tonight was pretty good, we just couldn’t throw it in,” head coach Tooey Loy said. “We were 110 from the three point line and weren’t much better on layups. I thought Winthrop was as good as I have seen them all year. I wasn’t disappointed by our effort, we came ready to play but we just couldn’t make anything. Usually when you hold a team to 56 points you come out on top but tonight just wasn’t one of those nights.” HPU shot just 29.6 percent (16 of 54) from the field and just 1-10 from behind the arc. The Panthers did perform well at the line, shooting 17-21 in the game.
Francis Fields joined Brown in double figures in the game with 12 points for the Panthers while Amy Dodd finished with nine points and a team-high three assists. HPU falls to 16-12 overall and 9-6 in the Big South. Shanice Cole led all scorers with a career-high 24 points for Winthrop on her senior night. WU improves to 11-16 overall and 5-8 in Big South play. High Point will have eight days off before heading to Lynchburg, Va., for the regular season finale against Liberty on Monday, March 8. Tip-off against the Flames is set for 7 p.m. High Point struggled early in the game and trailed Winthrop by 10, 23-13, after 12 minutes of play. The Panthers shot just 3-13 from the field and had seven turnovers while WU shot 11-16 to start the game. A baseline jumper from 15-feet out by Brown knocked HPU back on track and started an 8-0 run to pull High Point to within two, 23-21 with a little under three minutes left in the half. The Panthers held Winthrop with-
out a field goal for 6:22 to get back into the game. The two teams traded baskets over the last minutes of the period as Winthrop took a two-point lead, 27-25, into the break. After opening the game with just three field goals on their first 13 shots, High Point shot 5-8 down the stretch to run down Winthrop. Junior LaTeisha Dean scored six points in the first half for the High Point while Shanice Cole led all scorers with 12 points for WU. Two free throws by junior Amy Dodd and a layup by junior Frances Fields gave High Point its first lead of the game, 29-27, one minute into the second half. A steal and fast break layup by Brown extended the HPU run to 6-0 to open the second half and forced a timeout from the Winthrop bench with 17:41 left. The High Point lead fluctuated between two and four points until four-straight free throws by Winthrop’s Mary Hathaway put the Eagles back in front, 35-33, with 12:38 left in the game.

HPU baseball misses PAT, wins 20-14 SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE
HIGH POINT – Murray White IV hit his second home of the season and Andrew Bartlett had the first of his college career to help High Point University’s baseball team to a 20-14 win over Fairleigh Dickinson on Saturday. Mike Mercurio added a 3-for-3 day at the plate with three RBIs and five runs scored as the Panther offense collected 13 hits and 15 earned runs against four FDU hurlers. High Point (3-2) scored five runs in the second and third innings and added six in the fourth. The Knights (0-2) put up nine runs in the third inning, but four were unearned. “Defensively, if you take away the third inning, it wasn’t a bad game,” HPU coach Craig Cozart said.
White’s home run was a two-run shot in the third that helped High Point force a 10-10 tie. “Coach (Bryan) Peters gets the credit for how well I have been hitting this season,” said White, the former Ledford star. “It is his hitting approach and we make sure to listen to the scouting reports. I know every hitter feels comfortable up there because of the work he has done with us. Everything is going well for me right now. The time in the weight room is paying off.” Nick Schumacher, the third of five Panther hurlers, got the win with twoplus innings of three-hit relief. The teams play again today at Williard Stadium at 1 p.m. Freshman Jared Avidon is slated to start for HPU.
BIG SOUTH INDOOR TRACK CLEMSON, S.C. – The Liberty men’s and women’s indoor track teams enter today atop the 2010 Big South Indoor Track Championship standings at the Clemson Indoor Track Facility.

Uncle Evander’s pal Melvin pays his debts U
ncle Evander had a collection of friends that spanned the gamut of humanity. Some of his hunting and fishing friends were guys who didn’t have two nickels to rub together and some were doctors and lawyers. Almost all had a love of hunting, fishing or shooting as a common bond. Melvin Lohr was a fisherman, a duck and deer hunter, a shooter and a fireman. One thing I’ve noticed about firemen is that they’re industrious. Melvin fit the mold perfectly and was a perpetual motion machine. He was always working on something and he installed alarm systems in his “spare” time. In addition to being industrious, Melvin was generous to a fault and always considered the other person first. He also had a strong sense of fairness. Evander used to pick me up and take me to the local gun shop where the guys would sit around and tell shooting stories. I met George Culpepper during one of those bull sessions. George wasn’t a local guy and I don’t even know what he did to earn his money. When I first met him, he came in the shop trying to trade a pistol. The gun was a big, expensive Smith and Wesson revolver, and when Evander complimented him on the gun, George said something like, “I only buy the best.” George became a regular around the shop and joined the little gun club where Evander was a member. Melvin was a member, too, and everyone got along pretty well. In those days, Evander and Melvin were shooting pistol matches and doing pretty well. George also was a good shooter and, while the competition was close and taken seriously, there never seemed to be any animosity between the rivals.
One thing that did cause a little tension at times was George’s tendency to brag about his stuff. George was one of those guys who always bought the best of everything and didn’t SPORTS mind telling you it was the best. He was always Dick the first to try out a new Jones gun and he didn’t seem to ■■■ mind how much it cost. He bought an expensive spotting scope so he could tell where he was missing when he missed and he shot really expensive ammunition. Most of the other guys were just working guys who were on a pretty tight budget, but, if George thought something would give him an edge, he bought it. He was one of the first “money is no object” guys I ever knew. I was just learning how to shoot in those days, but Evander would always take me with him if I could go. They shot at their own club and traveled to other clubs a few weekends a month. During those trips, I began to notice that George seemed to have money to buy new guns and the best equipment, but he was always a little short when it came time to divvy up the gas or dinner tab. George would always hang back when the check was left on the table. Evander and Melvin often picked it up and bought for everyone, especially if they’d done well on the range that day. George always seemed distracted when it was time to pay up, even if he’d been a big winner. He had a really nice car – better than anyone in the club – but never offered to drive and was slow to pitch in for
gas. Evander, and especially Melvin, were always generous and ready to pick up a tab and were quick to loan you what you needed if something went wrong. This was not George’s nature. One weekend, the group went to Sanford for the state championship. It was a big deal and they decided to spend the night at a motel so we wouldn’t have to drive home and back during the two-day match. As we drove down that morning, George was feeling good. He’d been shooting well and Evander and Melvin had been in a bit of a slump. I was not in their league and didn’t really count. He suggested a $5 pot among the group, winner take all. Evander and Melvin agreed: I bowed out knowing I’d only be giving away a hard-earned $5 bill. When we checked into the motel, Melvin paid for the room and everyone agreed to settle up later. It was normal policy in those days for those not driving to help pay for the gas of the guy who was driving, and I assumed we’d settle up when Melvin filled up his car. George really shot well enough to win the bet and, on the way home, he grandly stated he wasn’t going to accept the pot money from Evander and Melvin since they’d covered the gas and motel room. I did some quick math in my head and realized this was a financial decision in his favor since George’s part of the bills would have been well over $10. Melvin seemed not to notice this discrepancy and thanked George for his generosity. A few months later, George told Melvin he wanted him to install an alarm system in his house. When Melvin went, George spent a lot of time showing Melvin all the nice guns he owned. Once the system was installed,
George started to pay Melvin and noticed he was short. He told Melvin he’d like to pay half in cash and gave him a post-dated check for the other half. The check bounced. Melvin got George on the phone and he explained that it was just a banking error, but the check bounced again when Melvin tried to cash it the second time. George quit returning Melvin’s calls and Evander and I figured Melvin was stuck for the rest of the money. George never came to shoot with Melvin and Evander again. A few weeks later, Melvin came into the gun shop with a big smile on his face. “Well, I just cashed old George’s check, and this time, it went through,” he chuckled. “Did he finally have enough money in the bank?” Evander asked. “No, I asked Patsy at the bank if there was enough money to cover it before I gave it to her. She said he was nine dollars short.” Melvin looked smug and proud of himself. Evander looked confused. “How did you cash it if he was short?” “I got to feeling guilty about not giving him the pot money from the state championship, so I made a deposit to his account to cover yours and my $10 we owed him. Don’t worry about paying me for your part, you can buy me lunch next week and we’ll call it square.” By now, Melvin was laughing so hard he had tears in his eyes. As I said, he was generous to a fault. DICK JONES IS a freelance writer living in High Point.

Students in instructor Barry Geller’s sign language class make the sign for the word “microwave.”
Signing up Instructor says learning to sign is easier than you think BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
H
IGH POINT – The first time Barry Geller experienced sign language, he fell in love with it. “I went to a church where there was signing,” he recalls, “and I was so astounded by the depth and beauty and expressiveness of the (signed) prayers and praise songs that I just knew I had to learn the language.” More than a decade later, the Winston-Salem man teaches sign language himself and is one of its most passionate advocates. Beginning in March, Geller will teach an eight-week series of sign language classes in High Point, being offered by High Point Parks & Recreation. “I was really impressed with how passionate Barry is about sign language and spreading the language out to as many people as he can,” says Joyce Chambliss, recreation supervisor for High Point Parks & Rec, who secured Geller to teach the classes. Geller teaches sign language classes through Forsyth Technical Community College and signs for worship services at churches in
the Winston-Salem area. Chambliss discovered Geller when her daughter, Emily, decided to learn sign language as part of her highschool senior project, and they couldn’t find any classes in Guilford or Davidson counties. Chambliss observed Geller’s classes and came away impressed. “His current class is a broad mix of people, and I thought it would be a great program to offer to folks in the High Point area,” she says. A free, one-hour introductory class, “The Joys of Signing,” will be offered Monday evening to help interested individuals decide whether they’re interested in signing up for the eight-week session. “(Learning sign language) is so easy the way I teach it, it’s amazing,” Geller says. “We laugh throughout most of the classes because we are playing games and doing charades. The idea is to get the people participating in the class so it’s not a teacher talking to the students the whole time, but it’s the whole group – with the encouragement and support of the teacher – teaching the rest of the class.” According to Geller, sign language need not be intimidating. “Many people come into the

“Sign Language I,” with instructor Barry Geller, will be offered Mondays, March 8 through April 26, from 6 to 9 p.m., at Morehead Recreation Center, 101 Price St. The class is for ages 14 and older. The cost is $100 for the eightweek session. A free, one-hour introductory class, “The Joys of Signing,” class feeling apprehensive that they won’t be able to do the sign language, but the way we do it in my class, there’s a feeling of openness,” he says. “People feel much less threatened if they’re doing fun signs and laughing and enjoying them.” And many of the signs are simple common sense. “People already know about 25 percent of the signs – they just don’t know that they know them,” Geller says. “Baby, milk, dog, cat, tiger, helicopter – all of these signs make so much sense. Baby looks like you’re cradling a baby. Milk looks like you’re milking a cow. So many of the signs are so easy to learn.” Geller will also teach participants songs such as “Happy Birthday” and “Row, Row, Row Your Boat,” as well as The Lord’s Prayer and other readings. He’ll also teach them how to sign the alphabet. “Deaf people use finger-spelling
will be offered Monday, from 6 to 7 p.m., to help interested individuals decide whether they’re interested in signing up for the eight-week session. To register or for more information, call Morehead Recreation Center at 883-3506 or the High Point Parks & Recreation administrative offices at 883-3469. only when they can’t sign,” Geller explains, “so it’s only a small part of my class, but I definitely teach it.” According to Geller, his class is ideal for individuals who want to learn sign language so they can sign at worship services and other public gatherings. “The prayers we have said so many times in our lives can take on a whole new meaning when you actually see the words danced,” he says. “The prayers and praise songs become a dance before God.” He also pointed out that many more new parents are learning sign language and teaching it to their babies, and the babies are capable of learning to sign even before they’re able to speak. “If you’re able to understand what the child wants or needs, it makes things so much easier for the parents,” he says.
Visitor restrictions at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and Lexington Memorial Hospital have been lifted. The restrictions, which affected visitors under the age of 18, have been in place since October and were enacted as a precaution against the spread of influenza, including H1N1. “H1N1 influenza does continue to circulate in our region but in low numbers. Influenzalike illness numbers are below that usually seen at this time of year, and seasonal influenza has not yet appeared,” said Dr. Christopher Ohl, associate professor of infectious disease. Ohl cautioned that if seasonal flu or H1N1 activity should again increase, then re-implementation of the restriction might be necessary. “At this time, however, there are no signals that suggest this would occur in the near future,” he said.

ADVICE 2E www.hpe.com SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2010 THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE
Dying motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes are turned into dust D
ear Abby: I lost my mom to cancer several months ago. She made my sister and me promise not to let her die in a hospital, but the night of her death we decided to put her in hospice. She needed care 24/7, and although we and Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s companion were taking turns in shifts, the stress had taken a heavy toll. Mom died three hours after we made our decision. We also promised to bury her because she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want cremation. However, we realized that we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford the price of a funeral so we convinced Mom to be cremated. Part of it was financial, but also, neither my sister nor I plan to stay here. Abby, Mom had two wishes at the end of her life, and I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to fulfill either one. She had no life insurance, and the financial responsibilities my sister and I have made it impossible. Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m having second thoughts. Was I wrong? Should you grant your parents their final wishes? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m seeing a counselor about this, but would like your thoughts. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid we forced
Mom into accepting cremation. Will the guilt ever go away? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Grieving in Las Vegas Dear Grieving: Before I answer that question, let me commend you ADVICE for seeking counseling. Sometimes it is simply Dear not possible to grant a dyAbby ing personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final wishes. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; Because caring for your mother was taking a toll on your health, it was necessary to ensure that she received the care she needed before any of you buckled under the stress. As to your discussing the necessity for cremation with her, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure she recognized that you were right or she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have agreed. Will the â&#x20AC;&#x153;guiltâ&#x20AC;? ever go away? Yes, but only when you are finally ready to recognize that guilt can be part of the grieving process and let it go. You have done nothing wrong. Talking about this with your therapist is the surest way to work it through.
Dear Abby: My 69-year-old widowed mother, my younger sister, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lia,â&#x20AC;? and her family, and my husband and I live in different states. Mom is in good health, active and has many friends. In the 25 years Lia and I have been married, Mom has come to stay with me five times. Only twice has she stayed more than two days. Lia was recently telling me about a visit sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d had from Mom and estimated that Mom had been at their home 200 days over the past 10 years. I had never thought about the disparity before. When I said, half-jokingly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe I should be hurt,â&#x20AC;? Lia responded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom likes to come here because we have kids and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more entertained.â&#x20AC;? I have always asked Mom to stay longer than she does. I even offered to pay her plane fare or drive there to pick her up. Mom always says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;too busy.â&#x20AC;? I love my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company and we have never argued. We have common interests and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots to do in my city. I understand her wanting to
see her grandchildren. I enjoy them, too, when I visit my sister. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hurt that Mom has never wanted to spend more time with me. I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m less valued as a daughter because I have no children. Am I silly for being hurt? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Overlooked in Rochester, N.Y. Dear Overlooked: Your feelings are not â&#x20AC;&#x153;silly.â&#x20AC;? Your sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bragging was tactless, and so was her follow-up. Tell your mother about the conversation and how it made you feel. Not knowing your mother or her relationship with you and Lia, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explain the disparity. But please allow me to point out that you are all adults â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you have a good marriage and a good life, and, if necessary, concentrate on that and not how often you and your sister see your mother.

Listen attentively and ask questions politely. Having fun should be your intent, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get involved in something you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in. â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026; GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Stick to what you know and do best. You can find information that will help you make better career choices. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be pushy when dealing with loved ones. Someone is likely to take advantage of your good nature. â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026; CANCER (June 21-July 22): Things are beginning to go your way, making this the ideal time to try new things. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look at changes being made at work or home as a negative when a little effort on your part will lead to interesting opportunities and financial gains in the near future. â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026; LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t back away from the things you want to do when you need an outlet.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get all worked up over nothing. As long as you are honest and straightforward, you have nothing to worry about.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be prone to impulse buying, taking on more than you can handle, overindulging and overreacting. â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026; CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Love is in the stars and, whether you are involved with someone or not, plan to get out and mingle. Old memories will lead to reuniting with people you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen for a long time. An old idea will be a good investment now. â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026; AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Face facts and be perfectly honest with yourself about what you are doing that might hinder your future. Ask questions: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely someone is trying to set you up for a loss, personally, financially or emotionally. Go it alone. â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026; PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may be a bit confused by the mixed signals you are getting from someone you thought you knew quite well. Look back at your past experiences. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overreact or let your personal problems interfere with your productivity. â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026; ONE STAR: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book.

Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.
Increase in fluids decreases chances for kidney stones D
ear Dr. Donohue: On March 1, 2000, I had my kidney stones blasted, and it worked. In 2002, stones returned, and they were blasted again; it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. I still have three stones. They bother me if I do a lot of overhead work. If I drink a lot of water and take a couple of pain pills, the pain stops. Once in a while, they really hurt. My mouth starts to water, and I know I have to get to the bathroom to throw up. Will these stones damage my kidney? Should I have them removed? My cousin had them come back five times, and his two brothers, three times. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; C.L. Do you know what kind of stones you had? The kind of stone dictates treatment for prevention. The most common kind is calcium oxalate, and what I say applies to that stone variety. Increasing fluid intake stops formation of stones. Drink eight to 10 8-ounce glasses of fluid a day. That amount of fluid keeps the urine colorless or pale yellow, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you want. All of the fluid doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be water. Cut back on salt. Salt
promotes the loss of calcium into the urine. Limit oxalate, which is found in HEALTH chocolate, peanuts, Dr. Paul spinach, Donohue beets and â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; sweet potatoes. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to limit calcium. A diuretic (water pill) like hydrochlorothiazide stops calcium from entering the urine. You should be investigated for causes that promote stone formation, especially with a family history like yours. The parathyroid glands regulate blood calcium, and overactive glands lead to stone recurrences. The pain you describe isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t typical of kidney stone pain. Kidney stones cause pain when one or a piece of one blocks the ureter, the tube that drains urine from the kidney to the bladder. The pain is felt at the side of the back, and it can radiate to the groin. The pain brings on nausea and vomiting. Silent stones, ones not causing pain, can be left alone if they are not damaging the kidney

or leading to infections. Simple lab tests can tell if they are. However, many urologists argue that it is better to remove silent stones, since theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to grow and make later removal more difficult. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blastingâ&#x20AC;? stones involves directing a shock wave at the stones with the patient sitting in a tub of water. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually quite effective and can be done more than once. If it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work, a urologist can retrieve the stone through a small incision or with a basketlike device inserted into the ureter through the penis. Dear Dr. Donohue: Enclosed is a copy of an article on Dupuytrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contracture treated with an injectable drug. I am interested in finding out if the drug has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. I have had this condition for five years, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting worse. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; C.U. The drug is collagenase, whose proposed brand name is Xiaflex(tm). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an enzyme that breaks up scar tissue that has looped around finger tendons and drawn the
fingers down toward the palm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dupuytrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contracture. The FDA had not given its approval as of the end of January 2010. Auxilium Pharmaceuticals is the manufacturer, and you can keep abreast of the FDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision at the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Web site, www.auxilium. com. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have type 2 diabetes and take metformin for blood sugar control. Does this medicine deplete your body of magnesium? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; B.H. None of the sources I have consulted says that metformin depletes the body of magnesium. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never heard of that association. Where did you get the information? If you have it on hand, will you send me a copy of it? Thanks. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe you need to worry about this. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not common knowledge. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Learning to converse is like a game of catch Q
uestion: Last week you answered a question from my girlfriend. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the boyfriend who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk very much. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been that way all of my life. Part of the problem is that I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to reveal what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m feeling. But also, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to talk to people. I get really uncomfortable when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m with people and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m expected to say things. Can you give me some hints about how to express myself? Dr. Dobson: It might help you to understand the basics of good conversation. Let me ask you to imagine that the two of us are facing each other about eight feet apart. You have four tennis balls in your hands, and you toss one of them to me. Instead of throwing the ball back, however, I hold it and wait for you to toss another to me. Eventually all four balls are in my hands. We stand there looking at each other awkwardly and wondering what to do next. The game is over. Good conversation is something like that game of catch. One person throws an idea or a comment to the other, and he or she then tosses it back. But if that second person doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return it, the game ends. Both players feel awkward and wish they could be somewhere else. Let me illustrate further. Suppose I say to my son when he comes home in the afternoon, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How did it go in school today?â&#x20AC;? If he answers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fine,â&#x20AC;? he has caught the ball and held it. We have nothing more to say to each other unless I can come up with another comment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; another â&#x20AC;&#x153;ballâ&#x20AC;? to throw to him. But if my son says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a good
day because I got an A on my history test,â&#x20AC;? he has caught the ball and thrown it back. I can then ask, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Was it a difficult test?â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you study hard for it?â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bet youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proud of FOCUS yourself.â&#x20AC;? If my son replies, ON THE â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes,â&#x20AC;? he has wrecked FAMILY the game again. To keep the conversation going, Dr. James he needs to throw back Dobson something of substance, â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tough examination, but it was fair.â&#x20AC;? Then our â&#x20AC;&#x153;gameâ&#x20AC;? can continue. I hope you see that the art of talking to people is really very simple. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a matter of throwing the conversational ball back and forth. As for your relationship with a future wife, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be enough to just throw the ball back to her. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to want you to be more intimate than that. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to know how you feel about her, what you dream about, things that upset you, what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like her to do, how you feel about God, etc. You can learn to put these thoughts into words, even though you will probably never be a big talker. I suggest that you push yourself in this direction rather than saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just how I am.â&#x20AC;? Your wife will probably have to make some changes to accommodate you, too. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what a good marriage is all about.
time now. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken him to task for it, which has resulted in some incredible, horrible battles. I have even made demands that he stop his infidelity, yet no change in his attitude and behavior has happened. What am I doing wrong? Dr. Dobson: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made the common mistake of misunderstanding the difference between expressions of anger and loving toughness. Simply becoming angry and throwing temper tantrums is no more effective with a spouse than it is with a rebellious teenager. Screaming and ac-
cusing and berating are rarely successful in changing the behavior of human beings of any age. What is required is a course of action â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an ultimatum that demands a specific response and results in a consequence. Then you must have the courage to deliver on the promise. DR.

SSI payment decreases as income increases
A. SSI is a needsbased program. In other words, the amount of your SSI is based, in part, on your income and resources. So if your income goes up and your financial need decreases, your SSI payment also will decrease. When you started getting the higher widowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s benefit from Social Security, your other income went up, so your SSI payment had to go down. For more information, you can visit our Web page about SSI at www.socialsecurity. gov/ssi. Or you can call Social Securityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toll-free number at (800) 772-1213 or TTY at (800) 325-0778 and ask for the publication, Supplemental Security Income. Q. I usually get a raise the first month of the year, but this year my Social Security check was the same. Did you forget to make the adjustment? A. No. For 2010, there is no cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). With consumer prices down over the past year, monthly Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits are not automatically going up. By law, benefits go up only if there is an increase in the Bureau of Labor Statisticsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers from the third quarter of the last year to the third quarter of the current year.

daughter is autistic. Another parent at her day care told me that she might be eligible for disability benefits from Social Security. My husband and I both work full time and pay Social Security taxes. Could she really qualify? A. If you and your husband are both working, then probably not. The only way your daughter would qualify for Social Security now is as a dependent on your or your husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Social Security record. In other words, one of you would have to be getting Social Security retirement or disability benefits before she could be eligible. We do run another program that
pays disability benefits for children. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called Supplemental Security Income. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a program for people with limited income and resources. So if your family is having a hard time making ends meet, your daughter might qualify for a monthly SSI payment. And if she gets SSI, she might also get Medicaid coverage. Learn more by visiting www.socialsecurity. gov and selecting the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Supplemental Security Incomeâ&#x20AC;? link.

I get both Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. I recently was switched from a benefit based on my own earnings to a higher widowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s benefit on my husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work record. But then my SSI check was reduced.

Vienna art hall employs an erotic twist BY VERONIKA OLEKSYN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
V
IENNA – In the name of art, an Austrian landmark is encouraging visitors to confront their sexual inhibitions by having them walk through a swingers club to reach one of Gustav Klimt’s masterpieces. The Secession – a world-renowned venue for contemporary art in downtown Vienna – has temporarily incorporated a sex club named “Element6” as part of a project by Swiss artist Christoph Buechel. The swingers are not there during the day, but their mattresses, erotic pictures, bar and whirlpool are. Secession spokeswoman Urte Schmitt-Ulms said Buechel hoped to spark a stir reminiscent of the scandal Klimt caused when his “Beethoven Frieze” was first exhibited in 1902. Now considered one of the Austrian painter’s key pieces,

One section of the mural shows three mostly naked women, one with very large breasts who looks pregnant and the other two covered only by their long flowing tresses. Another includes naked mythical figures and a zombielike, half-naked female with stringy black hair. While the club only opens at night long after the art hall closes, daytime visitors aged 18 and older pass through its dimly lit rooms on their way to see the Klimt painting. The room where the frieze is exhibited is locked at night for security reasons. But it too has its share of mattresses, surrounded by fake tropi-
cal plants and a life-size stuffed lion. Buechel declined to comment on his project, but the club said its participation “aims to give as many people as possible the opportunity to overcome their inhibitions.” “In the framework of this exhibition at the Secession, each individual can test for himself or herself whether this opens up new dimensions for his or her own sexuality,” the club said in a statement. There’s no question that Buechel has succeeded in igniting a debate. “Group sex in the Secession – has our society completely lost it?” Austria’s far-right Freedom Party asked. Yet on the streets of Vien-
na, people appeared more amused than appalled. “I think it’s perfectly OK,” said Moritz Wagner, a 26-year-old medical student. “It’s not my thing but why not?” echoed a laughing Ute Wegscheider as she pushed her young daughter’s stroller. “Maybe I should go check it out with my husband!”

Dear Dr. Fox: We have had a 3-year-old cairn terrier since she was a pup. She is a loving animal who seems happy, and is friendly to anyone she meets. However, her first trip to the vet, to have her nails trimmed, caused a lot of trauma. Since then, the professional groomers can groom her all over except for her backside
Michael Jackson’s ‘Captain EO’ returns 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, Heather Hust Rivera says the park will show a 70mm print of the 17-minute 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 1986-97. The new showing replaces the 3-D show “Honey, I Shrunk the Audience.”
She started to lose color in the nose area about nine months ago, and it is getting progressively worse. Now her nose has many pink spots on it. Our vet said it is nothing to be concerned about and was a condition many dogs develop. Is there anything we can do to reverse this? I heard that eating out of a plastic dish could contribute to this situation, but
she has never eaten out of one. We feed her Evanger’s or other good-quality dog food, along with yogurt, sardines, liver, pumpkin, ground turkey, sweet potatoes and green beans. She eats about everything. I give her a fish-oil capsule daily as well as a pet vitamin. – C.S., Plymouth, Minn. Dear C.S.: This condition is so prevalent in
border collies that it is called collie nose. But it is also seen in dogs with white muzzles. It may be an autoimmune disorder triggered by hypersensitivity to sunlight. Routinely apply sunscreen when outdoors, and give a daily anointing with pharmaceutical-grade aloe-vera gel or ointment, ideally with calendula herbal extract. Strong chamomile or
green tea (organic) may also help subdue inflammation and promote healing. SEND YOUR QUESTIONS to Dr. Michael Fox, c/o The High Point Enterprise, P.O. Box 1009, High Point, NC 27261. The volume of mail received prohibits personal replies, but questions and comments of general interest will be discussed in future columns. Visit Dr. Fox’s Web site at www.twobitdog.com/DrFox.
Dear J.L.: Your dog has developed a conditioned aversion to physical contact that has generalized after the initial psychophysical trauma to her paws. Her age may also play a role in the genesis of this behavior, because she has reached full maturity and may be playing alpha bitch, especially if she has been overindulged and not learned any boundaries. Many dogs have too much unnecessary nail trimming. Exercise on rough terrain is a natural, abrasive nail-growth regulator. Lay off all the usual grooming treatments, and get your dog to regain her trust and lose her fear by rewarding her intermittently for sitting still and allowing you to stroke her all over. Then begin gradual massage therapy. This will help her relax and become more trusting. Use a muzzle next time she needs her nails trimmed. This will inhibit her defensive-aggressive behavior, just as I must do with one of my own dogs who is phobic when it comes to trimming his front-paw nails. Dear Dr. Fox: We have a 5-year-old border collie whom we rescued two years ago. When we initially got her, her nose was completely black.

Dear L.T.: Puppy mills are an abomination, a blight on the human soul. Efforts to close the worst and to enforce humane-care standards rarely succeed in a culture where money rules and dogs, like other creatures, are treated as mere commodities. The American Kennel Club, which runs the pedigree registration and certification “papers” for pure-breed dogs, is notorious for defending such enterprises. Because the smelly “breed stock” Chihuahua that you so caringly adopted has made your other dog smell and itch all the time, your dogs most likely have mange. Secondary bacterial and fungal infections often develop. The most likely factor is the skinburrowing mite called Sarcoptes. Have your veterinarian test both dogs, and treat accordingly. Both dogs will benefit from daily fish oil or flaxseed oil and multivitamin and multimineral supplements. Severe cases benefit from wrapping the dog tightly in a towel, which can have a calming effect.

The last time, after working on this normally docile dog, she suddenly snapped and bit my hand. Lately, she seems to be snapping at small incidents, like stepping too close or touching her crate.

ear Dr. Fox: I adopted a female Chihuahua from the Humane Society. She was rescued from a puppy mill and had a bad odor, but only on her neck and chest. The vet said she was malnourished, which was the reason for the odor, but it would get better. The problem is that my other dog will get into the crate with her. Not only does my first dog have the same odor; he is scratching all the time now. When I give them an oatmeal bath, it helps for a day or two and then the smell returns. If I keep the new dog out of the crate, she will cry all night. I need some advice. – L.T., Fort Worth, Texas

Randleman Regional Reservoir Warden G.C. Warren walks off dock after patrolling the lake. There are three launch ramps at the marina.
Finally ashore Randleman Lake opens to recreation BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
RANDOLPH COUNTY – It’ll be a day for fishing Monday like no other in the recent past. It’s won’t be because of the weather, or the catch, or even a marquee fishing tournament. It’ll be because of the venue. Seven decades in the making, Randleman Lake opens to recreation at 8 a.m. Monday through its new marina on Adams Farm Road south of the Level Cross exit of U.S. 220 in Randolph County. Anyone accessing the lake on a boat or to fish from the pier must check in at the marina. Unlike Badin Lake or High Rock Lake, the reservoir doesn’t have general recreation areas, such as picnic tables or shelters, for people who aren’t boating or fishing. Swimming is prohibited. The 3,000-acre lake will remain open to boating and fishing for its first season through Nov. 30. Opening and closing hours through the year will vary with the seasons and daylight saving time. Formally called the
Randleman Regional Reservoir, the lake also will become a major drinking water source for parts of Randolph County and five municipalities in Randolph and Guilford counties. The first drinking water should flow to customers in June or July. The lake was stocked with bass and catfish two years ago preparing for its opening to fishing. The reservoir will be open seven days this week for its first week of recreation. After this week, the reservoir will revert to its normal schedule – closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, open Wednesdays through Sundays. The exceptions to the Monday and Tuesday closings will involve holidays. The reservoir will open on May 31 for the Memorial Day holiday, July 5-6 for the Independence Day holiday and Sept. 6 for the Labor Day holiday. The lake will be open 201 days this year. Fees for using the lake will vary with the activity. Marina fees will be $15 a day for gas-powered boats with three or fewer people, and $5 per person for boats with four or more people. The daily boating fee for an electric motor or sail boat will be $6, and $4 for a kayak, canoe or paddleboat. Pier fishing will be $2 a day per person.
The Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority is the governing agency for Randleman Lake, which was formally named Randleman Regional Reservoir last month. The lake will open to recreation for the general public at 8 a.m. Monday. The lake will remain open through Nov. 30, closing from Dec. 1 through Feb. 28, 2011. Because Randleman Regional Reservoir will become a drinking water source later this year, the Water Authority has come up with rules and restrictions for recreational use of the lake. A full list of the rules and guidelines for Randleman Regional Reservoir is available at the Web site www.ptrwa. org. For more information, call the Water Authority office in Greensboro at 547-8437.

Curiosity about whether the space station is visible with the naked eye inspired one of the questions in this edition of “Ask AP,” a weekly Q&A column where AP journalists respond to readers’ questions about the news. If you have your own news-related question that you’d like to see answered by an AP reporter or editor, send it to newsquestions@ap.org, with “Ask AP” in the subject line.

Go to http:// www.apnews.com/ to learn more. Q. Can you see the space station or the shuttle with the naked eye during the day? On Feb. 13 at around noon I was walking west and looked up in the sky and saw a white blunt craft very high in the sky heading west. It did not have a contrail. I could see a commercial plane going north (with a contrail). Do I need to get new glasses? Les Carlson Springfield, Ill. A. Sorry to disappoint you, but that white blunt craft you saw was not orbiting Earth. It’s pretty much impossible to see the space shuttle, space station or any satellite in broad daylight.

Gators spotted in Foothills town BY RICHARD GOULD MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS
HICKORY – Two alligators – one six-footer and one three-footer – were spotted in the Maiden reservoir this past weekend, according to Maiden residents. Linda Rose lives on the reservoir off Providence Mill Road and said her 11year-old grandson and her 12-year-old nephew spotted the gators last week. Two older teens watched the gators catch and eat a
goose Saturday afternoon, she said. Out of concern for the children who fish and swim in the lake Rose called the Maiden police who contacted a N.C. wildlife biologist. Maiden Police Chief Troy Church said he spent Tuesday morning with a pair of binoculars trained on the water but saw no signs of alligators. Maiden Town Manager Todd Herms said he heard reports about the alligators Monday, but he hasn’t seen any sign of
them. Some have said if the gators are found and their presence confirmed, it might be a good idea to rename Maiden’s high school mascot “The Fighting Gators.” Maiden High principal Duane Finger doesn’t think so. “No. We will not be changing our mascot,” he said. “I don’t think a gator would make a good mascot for Maiden,” Finger said. “We’re happy with our Maiden Blue Devils.”
Convocation provides music lesson BY GREGORY PHILLIPS MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS
FAYETTEVILLE – Freshman John Donnelly didn’t know what to expect from his first convocation at Methodist University earlier this month. What he didn’t expect was a Reeves Auditorium swinging to the sounds of
jazz and gospel. “I wish it could have been longer,” the Missouri native said. Methodist’s February convocation has often focused on Black History Month, usually with an outside guest speaker. But this year’s event kept it in house, using musical ensembles of college faculty and students to tell the story of black contributions to American
culture through music. In barely an hour, the Methodist Chorale, faculty jazz ensemble, student jazz band and One Voice gospel choir dashed through 200 years of musical history in a revue that had several hundred students, staff and alumni nodding and clapping along. The set list took in slavery era spirituals, Dixie-
land jazz, big band and 1950s-style gospel. Larry Wells, associate professor of music and a member of the faculty jazz ensemble, illustrated the black influence on Western music by playing the original hymnal version of the song on the trumpet next to the more popular celebratory version made famous by Louis Armstrong and his peers.

Novelist Salman Rushdie pauses after a reporter’s question during a tour of an exhibit of his papers last week at Emory University in Atlanta.
Rushdie to write book about his decade in hiding ATLANTA (AP) – Salman Rushdie plans to write a book about his decade in hiding under a death threat from the Iranian government using a digital archive of his personal papers housed at Emory University, he said last week. Rushdie, who is in the middle of a fiveyear stint as a distinguished lecturer at the Atlanta university, has donated his literary archive to Emory’s special collections library. The university created an exhibit from the manuscripts, letters and photographs that opened Friday and runs through September.
“It’s my story, and at some point, it needs to be told,” he said during a news conference before touring the exhibit. “That point is getting closer, I think. When it was in cardboard boxes and dead computers, it would have been very, very difficult, but now it’s all organized.” Rushdie, 62, was forced into hiding in England for a decade because the Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran issued a 1989 fatwa, or religious edict, ordering Muslims to kill the author, saying his book, “The Satanic Verses,” insulted Islam.
from complications of a stroke. Tudor’s 2001 will left the bulk of her estate to Seth Tudor, of Marlboro, and his son, Winslow Tudor; it left $1,000 each to the two daughters and nothing but an antique highboy to Thomas Tudor – because of their “estrangement” from her. Thomas Tudor is challenging the validity of the will, saying his brother wielded undue influence over their mother, causing her to cut them out of an earlier version. Now, attorneys for the brothers are wrangling about the extent of Tudor’s assets, fighting over even the smallest details, including who was responsible for a $140 snowplowing bill for the unpaved road that leads to the Tudor compound, where Seth Tudor still lives.
LONDON (AP) – The Beatles’ Abbey Road Studios were officially declared a historic building last week, a move that will help preserve the cultural landmark that is a magnet for fans worldwide. The crosswalk outside the iconic north London studios draws tourists with cameras daily, and the facilities have also hosted Pink Floyd, Jeff Beck and Radiohead and are still popular with orchestras. But their cash-strapped owner EMI Group Ltd. says the studios have been losing money for years and has only recently shelved plans to sell them. While EMI now says it’s looking for money to help revitalize the studios, news that it was seeking to offload Abbey Road sparked dismay among music fans.

‘Clash’ of 3-D movies to hit underprepared cinemas BY RYAN NAKASHIMA AP BUSINESS WRITER
L
OS ANGELES – Movies in 3-D are becoming such big moneymakers that Hollywood studios are cramming them into the nation’s theaters, even though there aren’t enough screens available to give each film its fullest possible run. That will mean an unprecedented number of 3D movies for film fans to choose from this spring, and smaller profits for Hollywood studios than they might otherwise get with fewer 3-D competitors. The pileup was created in part because studios want to capture some of the excitement surrounding “Avatar,” the James Cameron epic released in December. At $2.4 billion in global ticket sales, it is the highest-grossing film ever. In addition to the novelty or richer experience that might drive more people to see a 3-D movie, tickets to 3-D

Around the time “Avatar” came out, Warner Bros. decided to convert a remake of “Clash of the Titans” from 2-D to 3-D and push its release back a week, to April 2.

4 inducted into Country Music Hall of Fame NASHVILLE – Ferlin Husky usually gets a lot calls in the spring from friends telling him this has to be the year he’ll be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. “Every year I’ve heard that – for the last 15 or 20 years,” Husky said with a laugh. This time it’s true. The Country Music Association recently announced that Husky and three other genre-expanding country music stars will be new inductees to the Hall of Fame. Husky joins fellow crossover pioneer Jimmy Dean, producer Billy Sherrill and top-selling singer Don Williams. The men will be inducted into the Hall in Nashville,
T e n n . , later this year. It’s been a long wait for Husky, who is 84. One of the Dean best-selling popular artists regardless of genre in the 1950s and ’60s, Husky figured he just wasn’t country enough for the Country Music Hall of Fame. “The main thing I’m proud of this is for my family and for the many people who want to see me go in there before I die,” Husky said. Husky and Dean took country music to wider audiences by using the relatively new medium of television to earn new fans.

Karen Allred of Allred & Company Realtors says the need for flexibility with her small children was a catalyst for pursuing a career in real estate coupled with the desire to have a bit of “say” in her own success. The decision in 1994 to open Allred and Co. Realtors with her husband, Tommy, has allowed Karen to serve customers in the very community where she grew up and continues to call home. She truly believes that in real estate you need to work where you live. Karen says, “With real estate being the biggest purchase someone makes, their broker needs to know the area. And, so I can remain at a personal level with my clients, I have an office manager as well as a mortgage professional under my helm. This allows me to stay connected with my clients. Even though my technology is just as up to speed as the larger franchise firms, I choose to maintain the personal atmosphere that my clients seem to appreciate.” Currently Karen is focused on the first time home buyers and existing home buyer’s tax credits, realizing that both types of buyers must have an accepted contract in place by April 30 with closing by June 30 to qualify. And some folks don’t realize that you can even amend your 2009 tax return to include a 2010 tax credit! Karen continues to develop her professional status by earning several designations including CRB, DRS, GRI and ABR. She has also been appointed to a state level to serve on the NCAR’s Professional Standards Committee. She has held the position of vice-president of the local association of HPRAR as well as maintaining a seat on their current board of directors. In 2002 she was honored with the Broker/Owner/Manager of the year award by HPRAR and Top 40 Leaders under 40 in the Triad by the Business Journal.
