UNEMPLOYED? Workshop aims to polish interviewing skills. 1B

GUILFORD COUNTY – A discussion about improving 10 low-performing schools turned into a Guilford County Board of Education debate Thursday about student behavior and law enforcement in the schools. Earlier in the day, the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office sent out a news release describing three fights at Eastern Guilford High School and the names of those arrested. Many board of education members had not seen the release until parent and 2010 school board candidate Lisa Clapp handed out copies.

Feb. 24: A fight involving three juvenile students and one adult student. Miguel Keon Foster, 16, 3307-B Spring St., Greensboro, was charged with simple assault and battery, and the three juveniles were charged on a petition with simple assault and battery. One juvenile with assault on a governmental official. Daniel Rashad Gomez, 18, of 3316 Spring St, Greensboro, was charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana after his book bag was found by another student when Gomez went to watch the fight. Inside the book bag were six small bags of marijuana weighing 6.9 grams total weight and $1,900 cash. Gomez was placed under a $1,000 secured bond.

Guilford County Sheriff BJ Barnes reported three fights at Eastern High School in Gibsonville: Feb. 22: Two females assaulted a male on school grounds.

Because of confidentiality laws, school officials rarely release the names of students involved in fights. When the discussion turned to student suspensions, board members focused on the report. Some of the low-performing schools are working to reduce the number of out-of-school suspensions. “We need to find a way to handle suspensions but not disrupt others,” said board member Chris Cooke. “We need to promote good behavior.” Vice Chairman Amos Quick criticized what he called the escalation of measures from suspensions to

Feb. 23: A fight involving four students. Three of the students were adults, and a juvenile assaulted a teacher attempting to break up the fight.

Sheriff wants to shed responsibility for animal shelter BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The Davidson County Board of Commissioners may shift the responsibility of overseeing the Davidson County Animal Shelter to another department or agency after hearing a request from Sheriff David Grice last month to do so. Grice and Maj. Chris Coble, who oversees the animal shelter’s day-to-day functions for the sheriff’s office, requested during the commissioners’ retreat that the county find a different department to oversee the animal shelter. Grice and Coble say overseeing the animal shelter is “dissimilar” when compared to the rest of the sheriff office’s responsibilities. Grice explained that the sheriff’s office, among several duties, is responsible for permits for pistols, copper transport and gold dealers; courtroom security; warrant squad; evictions; lake patrol; school resource officers; inmate transfer; mental patient transport for the entire

With many other counties contracting services out or having their health department run their animal shelters, the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office has operated the county’s animal shelter for several years. Grice said overseeing the animal shelter is

more of a health department issue than a criminal issue. Coble said it can be difficult to visit the animal shelter every day when handling all of his other responsibilities. “The shelter itself right now is operating proficiently,” he said. “We have one of the cleanest shelters

We just feel as though the time has come for somebody to take over this facility to ensure that it’s going to be operating the way it should be, and somebody can be there all the time and that’s what they are going to do.” Max Walser, chairman of the Davidson County Board of Commissioners,

CVB campaign aims to bring shows to city Before you read...

Second in a three-part series.

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The High Point Convention and Visitor’s Bureau may have introduced the “Bring It Home, High Point” campaign nearly two decades ago, but its concept is just as important now as it was then, according to tourism officials. The idea behind the campaign, which asks the community to get involved with local tourism by issuing leads on conventions and trade shows, was first presented to the bureau in 1992 by Jim Morgan, the current chairman of the CVB board who held the same post at that time.

“The CVB used to give fan tours of the city,” Morgan said. “I went on one of those BRING IT tours and saw HOME all that High Point had Reviving to offer and tourism in High thought, ‘Why Point don’t we pro■■■ mote this?’ ” A year later, the CVB officially launched the campaign. Now that tourism sales have fallen on a global level, the CVB decided to re-launch the campaign at a press conference on Feb. 23. The campaign was designed with three goals, CVB president and CEO Charlotte Young said. First, the campaign was meant to make people more aware of what High Point had to offer in terms of space for trade shows and conven-

tions. Spaces like Showplace and the Suites at Market Square can be rented during times other than the High Point Market for shows like the Southern Building Material Association’s annual trade show. Second, the campaign was meant to create a pool of organizations that hold annual shows so the CVB would have a wide market to which to sell. Finally, and most importantly, the goal of the

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

campaign was to land bookings for those shows. “We just wanted to say to the community, ‘You’re attending these conventions in other towns. Why don’t you let us know about them so we can let them know about High Point?’ ” Young said. Leads generated by the campaign helped to pull some shows from other cities throughout the years. For example, the SBMA trade show was held in Charlotte for 80 years before it relocated to High Point in 2002. During its most recent show in January, it brought 900 people to the city with an economic impact of $466,500. “That comes from deciding to show off what you have,” Young said about gaining the show. “When it comes down to it, that’s what it’s all about – bringing it home to High Point.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

CHARLOTTE – Two toddler brothers died early Sunday morning when a fire raced through their house on Rowan Street in West Charlotte. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say the two victims, ages 1 and 2, and two siblings, a 4-year-old boy and 7-year-old girl, were unattended when the fire started at 920 Rowan St. before 6 a.m. A neighbor rescued the two older children, police say. They identified the victims as Josiah Hawthorne, 2, and Gabriel Hawthorne, 1. The investigation by police and the Charlotte Fire Investigation Task Force is in its early stages. But investigators confirmed that the children were unattended. They are interviewing the surviving children, family and neighbors to determine who was responsible for leaving the children unsupervised. Investigators

are still searching for the childrens’ mother. The fire appears to be accidental, fire investigators said. Juanita Edwards, a next-door neighbor, said her husband, David, woke

Investigators confirmed that the children were unattended. her around 6 a.m. and reported the house was on fire. By the time she looked out the window, firefighters from Fire Station 13 two blocks away on Glenwood Drive were already battling the blaze. Edwards said the family had lived in the house for about a year. “I don’t really know them, except to wave to the children when I see them,” she said. “This is so sad. Those two kids were so young.”

Former SC student returns to hometown as heroine DILLON, S.C. (AP) – A middle school student whose plea to Congress brought national attention to her dilapidated school campus returned Friday as a heroine, even though she no longer lives in South Carolina. Another victim of the area’s depressed economy, Ty’Sheoma Bethea’s single mother, a welder, had to leave rural Dillon County and its 19 percent unemployment rate to find work in Atlanta. While the state’s oldest school will be replaced, thanks in part to Bethea, the underlying economic conditions remain: Double-digit jobless rates are nothing new for the county of fewer than 31,000

areas,” Davis said, noting the county hasn’t had a major jobs announcement in 14 years. “It’s sad when children excel in school and don’t have the opportunity to stay in the area they grew up in to find employment, but that’s not recent.” Major employers are Perdue Farms, a distribution company for imported textiles, and an oil filter manufacturer, and the county remains a top crop producer. In downtown Dillon, hairdresser Elizabeth Watson said she’s worried the economy will get worse, though she’s optimistic about the attention brought to her hometown.

Rio’s environmental secretary speculated that increased levels of a harmful algae may be the immediate cause of the sudden die-off Friday. She told Globo’s G1 Web site that authorities were still investigating, but the problem was not

affecting the fish anymore. The smell of rotting fish dampened runners’ and cyclists’ usual enthusiasm for leisurely jaunts along the Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon’s paths. The 2-square-mile (4.5square-kilometer) body of water is just north of Rio’s Ipanema Beach. A canal connects it to the Atlantic.

Slate said he also requested additional support from the sheriff’s office this week. Officers either saw the fights or were nearby, Slate said. “We also told the staff to be more vigilant,” he said.

The school district’s poverty rate, as measured by the number of students eligible for free or reduced school lunch, is 94 percent. Dillon Mayor Todd Davis touts the county’s pluses – Interstate 95 runs through it, and proximity to I-20, ports and the beach – but he’s clearly frustrated by its inability to replace the textile and farming jobs that left long ago. “It’s died like it has everywhere, and we haven’t diversified a whole lot out of those two

Opinion Page Editor: Vince Wheeler vwheeler@hpe.com (336) 888-3517

Randolph sales tax vote is investment in workers This Tuesday’s referendum in Randolph County for the support of Randolph Community College should be approached as an investment in the retraining of our adults that are unemployed and seeking to develop new skills for future employment. In addition, education is paramount for the preparation of our youth and young adults. Our support will be accomplished by casting our favorable vote to add an additional one-quarter of one percent to our current 7.75 percent sales tax rate. This is equivalent to paying an additional penny for each $4 we make in purchases. However, medicine, gasoline and food will not be taxed at this new rate. Let me make one additional observation. The total tax on our purchases is already rounded up. Sometimes this will not increase our total tax at all. For instance, today I had a luncheon bill for $9.28 with $.72 sales tax at the 7.75 percent rate for a total bill of $10. This same bill with the tax rate of 8 percent would have been $10.02 (sales tax equaling $0.74). Please make a wise choice and support over 11 percent unemployed in Randolph County (45 percent currently enrolled in Randolph Community College developing new skills). The administration needs additional space to accommodate others who are seeking admission for retraining. Randolph County is famous for their support of our children’s educational needs. Let us make a wise choice and support our adults, too! CARLTON T. BOYLES Trinity The writer is mayor of the city of Trinity.

Education is fine, but you still need common sense Regarding Leonard Pitts’ column Feb. 16 concerning Sarah Palin putting notes on her hand: How many of us have gone to the doctor, for instance, and forgotten things we need to tell him? I usually write down things I need for him to know and put the notes in my shirt pocket. In my opinion, at least she shows that she is human and doesn’t try to act like a gifted know-it-all. As far as common sense: If you don’t have it, then all the

ly slain. Sadly, in the mind of one deeply disturbed individual, it was because Hunter worked in a building that housed the Internal Revenue Service.

OUR MISSION

Let’s reflect on race and the Tea Party A

few words on the meaning of tea. They are occasioned by a recent commentary from Keith Olbermann of MSNBC. The commentary – you can find it on YouTube – scores the Tea Party movement as the outcry of people who haven’t yet made peace with the fact that their president is black. Everything else, said Olbermann, is euphemism. Taxes? Socialism? Budget deficit? No, he argued, when you strip away the pretenses and rationalizations, “it’s still racism,” and they hate the president only because he is black. One is reminded of the 2008 campaign in which many of Barack Obama’s opponents insisted people only “supported” him because he was black. It was an offensive claim, in that it assumed black was black was black and that people were so imbecilic that skin color – alone and of itself – was sufficient to win their votes. As if you could sub in rapper Flavor Flav and they would not care. The truth, it always seemed to me, was more nuanced. People liked Obama’s policies, his eloquence, and his fierce intelligence

and the fact that he was black, that his election would turn history on its ear, was a desirable bonus, but only that – icing on the cake, but not the cake OPINION itself. I submit that a Leonard rough inverse of Pitts that dynamic now ■■■ helps define the Tea Party movement. Ask yourself: Would we even be having this discussion if Condoleezza Rice were president? If Rice, Republican stalwart, conservative icon, and black woman were chief executive, would the first pot of tea ever have been brewed? One suspects the average Tea Party participant would tell you emphatically, “no,” and that this “no” serves as his personal shield against charges of racism. How can I be racist, he would demand, when I know in my heart that I would’ve supported Condi to the max? If you concede him that, then you have to ask yourself what it does to Olbermann’s contention that racism is the whole raison d’etre of the movement.

The answer leads us back again to nuance, albeit in mirror image. The Tea Party people distrust Obama’s policies, his eloquence, his fierce intelligence and the fact that he is black then becomes the final straw, the difference maker and deal breaker. To put that another way: I doubt most of the tea partiers hate Obama strictly because he is black, but it sure doesn’t help. My point is not that Olbermann’s argument is wrong but, rather, that it is incomplete. Yes, race is obviously a component, and a major component at that, of the reaction against the president. The recurring use of racist imagery and language, the attendance at Tea Party events of a racist group like the so-called Council of Conservative Citizens, settles that definitively. But ultimately, people seem moved by something even bigger than race. This is race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, “culture,” and the fact that those who have always been on the right side, the “power-wielding” side, of one or more of those equations, now face the realization that their days of dominance are numbered. There is a poignancy to their responsive fury because one

senses that the nether side of it is a choking fear. We are witness to the birth cries of a new America and for every one of us who embraces and celebrates that, who looks forward to the opportunity and inclusiveness it promises, there is another who grapples with a crippling sense of dislocation and loss, who wonders who and what she will be in the nation now being born. One hopes they will find answers that satisfy them because the change they fear will not be turned back. No one ever volunteers to return to the rear of the bus. So for all the frustration the tea party movement engenders among the rest of us, one also feels a certain pity for people like the woman last year who cried, plaintively, that she wanted her country back. As if she didn’t realize that it is already, irrevocably, gone. LEONARD PITTS JR., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

Iran: US behind IAEA bomb-making charge

Israel distributes gas masks to citizens JERUSALEM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Israel has begun distributing new gas masks to its 7 million citizens to offer protection against a possible chemical attack. Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s postal service is handing out the equipment. It says the process will take about three years. Distribution began Sunday. The military says it is routine and not in response to a specific threat. Israel believes a chemical attack could potentially come from Syria or Iran.

Official: Bomb kills family of 11 Afghans KANDAHAR, Afghanistan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An Afghan official says a roadside bomb has killed 11 members of one family in southern Afghanistan. Helmand provincial government spokesman Daoud Ahmadi says the family was piled onto a tractor with a truck-bed hitched on back when the vehicle struck a bomb Sunday afternoon. The family was traveling on a main road commonly used by international and Afghan forces.

Fierce storms in Europe kill 51, mostly in France PARIS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A violent late winter storm with fierce rain and hurricane-strength winds ripped across western Europe on Sunday, battering France and four other countries, leaving at least 51 people dead. The storm, named Xynthia, was the worst in France since 1999 when 90 people died. Prime Minister Francois Fillon held an emergency cabinet meeting and afterward called the storm a â&#x20AC;&#x153;national catastrophe.â&#x20AC;? Many of the at least 45 victims in France drowned, while others died when hit by parts of buildings or trees.

Ready ... set ... interview Workshop aims to hone job-seeking skills

AT A GLANCE

–

The Triad Job Search Network will hold a speed interviewing workshop on Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the United Covenant Methodist Church at 1526 Skeet Club Road in High Point. The event is designed to build job interviewing skills for those seeking employment.

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – If you’re one of the thousands of unemployed people in High Point, the Triad Job Search Network may be able to offer you some advice on how to land your next job. The TJSN will hold a speed interviewing workshop on Tuesday at the United Covenant Methodist Church on Skeet Club Road. Organized by volunteers, the event is designed

to hone the job interview skills of unemployed or under-employed people looking for work, according to Glenn Wise, the organization’s director. Participants at the event will be interviewed by dif-

ferent professionals who have interviewing experience, such as human resource professionals, Wise said. There will be no employers at the event recruiting workers, but participants will go through several five to 10 minute interviews to practice their skills during the workshop, scheduled for 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. “It’s designed to give our attendees a chance to do some five to ten minute, one-on-one interviews with guest evaluators or those from the community who are knowledgeable in interviewing people,” said Wise. “Most of them come from large companies.” Those who attend the

event are encouraged to dress in professional attire as they would for a standard job interview, though it isn’t required. Participants may also bring a resume to be critiqued. The workshop also serves as an environment where unemployed people can network with others, Wise added. “This is designed to encourage people to get out, get away from the computer, away from the TV and to where other people are so it energizes them in their job search,” he said. “If there is anyone who isn’t sure that it applies to them, they just need to get out there and give it a try.” Similar events held by

TJSN, a 15-year-old, volunteer-operated organization, have become more crowded during the recession, Wise said. A single event held in the Triad would have attracted 2030 people before the economy crashed, but current events are attracting 40-50 people, he said. “Given today’s unemployment rate, the competition for jobs is more intense,” he said. “Because jobs are so hard to come by, you have to be more prepared than ever.” This is the second speed interviewing workshop that the organization has held in High Point. phaynes@hpe.com| 888-3617

Students give baked breakfast staple a new use ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – Allan Beaver, artist-in-residence at High Point University, recently gave a unique challenge to students in his graphic design class – decorate the walls at the Great Day Bakery in the University Center. The challenge was part of the “Incredible Bagel Project.” “When I heard ‘bakery,’ my mind flashed to my favorite repast – the bagel,” Beaver said. “It is, I believe, a logical graphic symbol for the bakery. It also became an interesting and challenging graphic design assignment.” Beaver approached his students – Emily Erdman, Ann-Marie Furr, Elyse Miller, Amber Myers, Ned Nicholson, Adriene Sperry

and Amber Ward – and asked them to use the bagel to graphically create a totally new personality for the breakfast item. Chad Christian, university photographer, shot photos of the bagels and the students worked with those photos to create unique bagel images. “He really shot some great bagel photos for the class to work with, and interesting work developed,” Beaver said. “Since I preach that ‘design is a thinking process,’ it challenged the class to be both creative and imaginative. … Students ended up submitting 21 bagel personalities.” The results? Fresh, cool, mind-bending, unique and fun, Beaver said. The images – including the likes of the “Devil Bagel,” the “Moon Bagel” and the “Skiing Bagel” – will be digitally printed to a 30-inch-by30-inch format, then individually framed. Installation is scheduled for June 2010.

Tax service holds canned food drive, offers discounts ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT - Jackson Hewitt Tax Services in High Point, Archdale and Trinity will hold a canned food drive that could give customers a break in tax preparation costs.

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Marie Osmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 18-yearold son Michael Blosil has died, the entertainer said Saturday. Osmond said in a statement through her publicist that her family is devastated by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;tragic loss.â&#x20AC;? She did not provide details on the death. Entertainment Tonight reported on its Web site that Blosil jumped to his death Friday night from a downtown Los Angeles apartment building.

Officers responded to an apparent suicide jump in the area, but the victim was not identified Saturday, Los Angeles Police Officer Gregory Baek said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My family and I are devastated and in deep shock by the tragic loss of our dear Michael and ask that everyone respect our privacy during this difficult time,â&#x20AC;? Osmond said in the statement. Blosil reportedly left a note which referred to

a lifelong battle with depression. In 2007, Osmond said Michael was treated at a rehabilitation facility, but she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disclose the nature of his problem. Donny Osmond, Blosilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncle, told Entertainment Tonight: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Please pray for my sister and her family.â&#x20AC;? Michael is one of Osmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five adopted children. She also has three other children from two marriages.

Swiss art museum founder Ernst Beyeler shows a book at the Foundation Beyeler art museum in Riehen, Switzerland.

Founder of top Swiss museum dies GENEVA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ernst Beyeler, whose early eye for undervalued Picassos and Impressionists helped him assemble one of Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous art collections, has died, his Beyeler Foundation said Friday. He was 88. Beyeler died Thursday evening at his home near Basel, said the museum, which he created 13 years ago out of his sprawling gallery of masterpieces. Beyeler, the son of a Swiss railway employee, became a widely respected art patron after World

War II by acquiring hundreds of works by Pablo Picasso, Paul Cezanne, Claude Monet, Henri Matisse and others. His art collection eventually grew to a value of at least 2 billion Swiss francs ($1.85 billion), according to the Swiss finance magazine Bilanz, thanks to Beyelerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taste for quality and his personal connections with painters such as Georges Braque, Marc Chagall and Alberto Giacometti. He also was a friend of Picasso.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art must touch you and leave a strong visual and mental impression upon you,â&#x20AC;? Beyeler once said in an interview with Swiss weekly magazine NZZ Folio. Beyelerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success in the art trade lay mainly in buying such underrated works.

MEXICO CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mexican author and guerrilla movement scholar Carlos Montemayor died Sunday, his publisher said. He was 62. A historian and linguist whose academic work centered on indigenous culture and rebels, Montemayor was sympathetic to the armed Zapatista uprising in 1994 in the southern state of Chiapas. Montemayor, who had been battling stomach cancer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;distinguished himself for his social activism, especially in favor of the most vulnerable groups in Mexico,â&#x20AC;? Random House Mandadori said in a statement. In 2008 he joined a commission tasked with mediating between the government and the leftist Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Revolutionary Army, or EPR, over the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claims that two of its members were taken by security forces in Oaxaca state. His best-known novel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;War in Paradise,â&#x20AC;? is a fictional account of a reallife guerrilla movement led by Lucio Cabanas in southern Guerrero state in the 1970s, and the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign against it.

CAROLINAS, ABBY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE MONDAY, MARCH 1, 2010 www.hpe.com

Newcomers flood congressional races RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Children of the tea party-type movements in North Carolina never dreamed theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d grow up so fast in the political world. Renee Ellmers of Harnett County started speaking at events last year opposing Democratic health care reforms after mentioning to a conservative advocacy group she was a registered nurse. By the fall, someone asked her at a town festival to consider challenging popular Democratic Rep. Bob Etheridge. After leaving with her nervous stomach in a knot, Ellmers agreed to take the plunge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is all new to me,â&#x20AC;? said Ellmers, 46, now one of three GOP candidates seeking the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nomination in the 2nd Congressional

District. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of people who (until now) have never ever thought about getting into politics before.â&#x20AC;? Angst by conservatives over Obama administration initiatives and disdain by others for the current Congress have overcome any apprehension political newcomers like Ellmers feel, fueling a surge in the number of candidates running for the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13 U.S. House seats this year. Sixty-nine challengers and incumbents filed during the threeweek candidate window that ended last Friday, almost double the 37 candidates who threw their hats into the ring in 2006, according to State Board of Elections records. There were 46 in 2008.

The deluge has created a tricky situation for GOP leaders because May primaries will have newcomers battling longtime party activists, even incumbents like 6th District Rep. Howard Coble and the 3rd Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walter Jones. Acrimonious primaries could weaken the surviving GOP nominee or require a June runoff if no one gets more than 40 percent on the vote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an outsider to them for sure,â&#x20AC;? said Dan Eichenbaum, 67, a Murphy ophthalmologist and one of six GOP candidates who believe they can beat Democratic Rep. Health Shuler although he won two years ago by 26 percentage points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But this is not the year for party insiders.â&#x20AC;?

Charlotte officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s misconduct leads to 70 case dismissals CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; North Carolina prosecutors say misconduct by one police officer has led to the dismissal of 70 cases. The Charlotte Observer reported Sunday that Officer Brian Cloninger resigned after prosecutors accused him of trying to influence a lineup in a robbery investigation. Cloninger would not comment on the case, but his attorney told the newspaper that he

resigned to keep from dragging the CharlotteMecklenburg Police Department and himself â&#x20AC;&#x153;through the mud.â&#x20AC;? Prosecutors say they dismissed 70 cases Cloninger had handled including drunken driving, assault and drug charges. The investigation of the officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior began when a robbery victim reported that Cloninger tried to coach her on whom to identify in a suspect lineup.

Dear Carol Ann: I am

pleased that an item you saw in my column was so helpful. I hope your experience ADVICE encourages other Dear readers to Abby look for â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; the KEEP screenings in their local areas this year. Readers, this year World Kidney Day is being held on Thursday, March 11. On that day the National Kidney Foundation will once again hold screenings all over the U.S. for those at risk. This includes anyone who has high blood pressure, diabetes or a family history of those conditions or kidney disease. Those of you who would like more information regarding kidney disease and free screenings should log onto www. kidney.org. Dear Abby: I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I have a recessive personality, yet I constantly find myself in conversations with people who appear to have no interest in what I have to say. Regardless of the subject, I am never able to finish what I want to say before the other person interrupts with his/her own â&#x20AC;&#x153;more importantâ&#x20AC;? story. An example: I said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mother-in-law came to visit last night ... â&#x20AC;? Before

I could get the next word out, someone started talking about an incident she suffered through with her M-I-L. She continued on for more than five minutes. Another time, during an hour-long lunch with a girlfriend, she spent 45 minutes (I timed her) talking about herself. And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my coworker who spent seven minutes of a conference we had for a project we shared discussing the project, and the rest talking about herself. Am I expecting too much to be heard, respected, empathized with and supported by people I consider close friends and associates? What can I do to remedy this? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Let Me FinI ... Dear Let Me: Your problem is that you are not assertive enough. A way to remedy the situation would be to interrupt the interrupter by saying immediately, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Excuse me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I am still talking,â&#x20AC;? and finish your story. And as to a colleague blathering on about herself during the discussion that was supposed to be about your project â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you should have said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to chat. But right now I have too much work to do. Bye!â&#x20AC;? DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; North Carolina officials will examine thousands of old cases that included evidence from a forensics lab to determine whether any evidence may have been withheld from defendants, a newspaper reported Sunday. NorthCarolinaAttorney General Roy Cooper, who heads the State Bureau of Investigation, told the News & Observer of Raleigh he ordered a review to make sure prosecutors and defendants received critical information. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If not, it gets fixed,â&#x20AC;? Cooper said. The review comes after State Bureau of Investigation Director Robin Pendergraft told The Associated Press on Feb. 19 that the agency did not always automatically provide complete crime lab test results for use in trials.

ear Abby: In March of last year, I saw your column about the upcoming World Kidney Day when the National Kidney Foundation would offer free screenings around the country through their Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEP). You encouraged your readers to find the location of their local KEEP screenings, so I did â&#x20AC;&#x201C; figuring I had nothing to lose. Well, my lab tests from the KEEP screening showed that my kidneys had not been properly filtering toxins from my body. Armed with those test results I made an appointment with my doctor. She had never checked my kidney function before. Once she saw the results of my kidney function tests were low, she suggested major diet and exercise changes and took me off two medications she suspected were too much for my kidneys to handle. Today, I feel great. My blood pressure is normal, my weight is 30 pounds lighter and my kidney function is continually improving. What a blessing that I read your column that day, Abby, and went to the KEEP screening before it was too late. If I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, I could be on dialysis, waiting for a kidney transplant or, worse, not here at all. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Carol Ann Johnson, Independence, Mo.

efore electricity was available, candles lit the darkness. Except for the occasional power outage, candles are rarely needed today to provide light, yet they continue to grow in popularity. During the past couple of months, I have responded to several fires caused by candles, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to remind people that candles can be dangerous. When used safely, candles FIREHOUSE proCHAT vide an endless Lee number Knight of uses. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; The bulk of candle fires are started by consumers not following common candle safety tips, and when safety is lax or ignored, tragedy can strike. Across the nation the number of house fires is dropping while the number of candle fires is increasing. Candle use has grown quickly over the last 10 years, which helps contribute to the rise, making it important to learn candle safely to avoid being a statistic. Candles should never be left unattended because they can be extremely dangerous. When a fire starts with no one around, the chance of injury is greatly increased. Extinguish all candles when leaving the room. The most dangerous room in the house to burn a candle is the bedroom. Often people fall asleep, and the candle sets a mattress or bedding on fire. Make sure candles are placed on a large noncombustible surface that will not tip easily. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also important to keep combustible materials such as clothing, books and curtains a safe distance from the flame, and make sure you have a fire extinguisher. Trim the wick to a quarter inch to avoid an over-sized flame. Make sure candles are in areas where children and pets cannot knock them over, and always make sure a responsible adult is present. Candles should never be left burning around unsupervised children. Unfortunately, statistics show that children account for a disproportionate number of fire deaths caused by candles. Almost everyone enjoys the smell of scented candles and the relaxing atmosphere they create in homes. With proper safety procedures, candles are safe to burn. So take a few minutes to learn candle safety before lighting candles. 24/7/365: You call; we respond.

Pneumonia death in healthy young people is rare

ear Dr. Donohue: My sister, age 41, passed away unexpectedly. She had an upper respiratory illness that a clinic assured her was neither seasonal influenza nor H1N1, although no testing was done. During the next several days, she rested and thought she was recovering. She mentioned a bad headache and body aches. Her roommate returned one afternoon later that week to find that she had passed away. The autopsy identified the cause of her death as lobar pneumonia. We were devastated by the news and have trouble understanding how this occurred. How did it? – L.M.

BLONDIE

B.C.

Pneumonia is lung infection. “Lobar pneumonia” indicates that only one lobe of a lung is involved (the right lung has three lobes; the left, two). “Bronchopneumonia” describes a more diffuse involvement of the lung with widespread patches of infection. Neither term indicates pneumonia’s severity. Four million new cases of pneumonia arise annually in the United States in people who are active and living in the community. Most otherwise healthy young people pull through the infection. Either viruses or bacteria cause pneumonia. Bacterial pneumonias have an abrupt onset, and the patient suffers from a high fever, shaking chills, sweating, cough and

shortness of breath. Viral pneumonias tend to have a milder course. HEALTH In the days before Dr. Paul antibiotics, Donohue pneumonia ■■■ was the No. 1 cause of death. Now death from pneumonia in a person of your sister’s age is rare. For older people, pneumonia is No. 6 on the list of death causes. I believe your sister had influenza pneumonia, and probably with the H1N1 influenza virus, swine flu. This influenza virus is a bigger problem for younger people than for the elderly, because younger people have had no prior experience with it. The only way the cause of your sister’s death will be known with certainty is when cultures of her infected lung are available. You can obtain that information from the facility where her autopsy was done. Please accept my profound sympathy for you and your family on the untimely and unexpected death of your sister at such a young age.

The family of medicines known as proton pump inhibitors contains the most effective drugs for turning off the production of stomach acid. “Proton” in this setting refers to acid. They have been a godsend for people with acid reflux disease – heartburn, or GERD. Prilosec, Protonix, Aciphex and Nexium are their brand names. People who take these drugs for prolonged periods and in high doses run a greater risk of having a hip fracture than do those not taking them. You can ask your doctor if it would be OK to take a vacation from your omeprazole from time to time. Or you could take an entirely different acid suppressant, like Zantac. Stomach acid makes calcium carbonate absorbable. Calcium citrate requires less acid for absorption, and is a better calcium supplement for those on proton pump inhibitors.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I currently take alendronate (Fosamax) for osteoporosis and omeprazole (Prilosec) for acid reflux. I read that omeprazole can lead to osteoporosis. Is there another medicine

DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

I can take for reflux? I also wonder if the suppression of acid production makes calcium citrate a better source of calcium than calcium carbonate. – S.S.

You’re 21 CHEERS! Some college students use ‘shot books’ to commemorate bar-hopping drinking binges

BY ALAN SCHER ZAGIER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

OLUMBIA, Mo. – From a baby’s first steps to high school graduation, scrapbooks provide friends and loved ones a way to preserve cherished memories. In some college towns in the Midwest, scrapbooks are also used to chronicle a far more ominous rite of passage: bar-hopping drinking binges, one alcohol shot at a time. They’re called “shot books” and often used to commemorate 21st birthdays, with one shot for every year represented. “It’s a real tradition here,” said Ken Sher, a Missouri psychological sciences professor who studies alcohol abuse among college students. Shot books are made by and for women almost exclusively, especially in sororities, accord-

Giselle Paris, 22, a sorority member at Missouri State University in Springfield, called 21st birthday scrapbooks an ingrained part of Greek life on campus at her southwest Missouri school. “I see it almost every weekend here,” she said. Paris, a senior from Kansas City, described an all-day event on her birthday that began with a “wake-up shot” at 9 a.m. and included regular meals, snacks and even a pre-dinner nap before the binge concluded 15 hours later. “I’m sure it sounds dangerous,” she said. “It’s evidence that we condone binge drinking.” In Columbia at the University of Missouri, junior Courtney

Schmiemeier of St. Louis said her shot book is more about cherished memories than drunken behavior. The English major even invited her mother for the party – and Mom accepted. “I’m going to be proud of it forever,” she said. “It’s not so much the drinking. I have pages showing all of my good friends.” Alcohol counselors say the shot books not only encourage risky behavior but also expose bar owners and employees – who are sometimes included in the photos – to legal consequences should the birthday drinker get sick from alcohol poisoning or even die. “They’re putting themselves in such a vulnerable position, liability-wise,” said Kim Dude, assistant director of the Wellness

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Resource Center at Missouri. “If this person ends up dying of alcohol poisoning, that picture is being taken at your bar. ... Now you have written proof of your role in the ceremony.” According to the National Institutes of Health, alcohol-related deaths among U.S. college students rose from 1,440 deaths in 1998 to 1,825 in 2005 – a 27 percent increase. The numbers include traffic-related deaths. For 21st birthday party drinkers, successfully finishing 21 shots is less important than making the effort, said Clayton Neighbors, a University of Houston psychology professor. His research shows that fewer than 10 percent of those who attempt to reach that threshold actually do. “Most of them don’t make it,” he said. “If you get 21 shots down without throwing up, you’re going to be in the hospital, or dead.” Video diaries of 21 shots are as accessible as the nearest YouTube link, Neighbors pointed out. Creating permanent reminders of the birthday ritual can only heighten the risk, he said. “They have a blank scrapbook and think they have to fill it up,” he said. “Anytime other people are making a big deal about the celebrant having 21 shots, it creates a lot of pressure.” Paris said the drinking game is about participation, not pressure. Failing to reach 21 shots is no cause for scorn – but for some, she said, that level of excess is merely a starting point. “I have friends who don’t make it to 21, and I have some who’ve made it to 50,” she said.

CROSSWORD

Monday, March 1, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Justin Bieber, 16; Jensen Ackles, 32; Ron Howard, 56; Alan Thicke, 63 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Take your time and pay attention to every little detail. There will be plenty of opportunities – the trick will be to pick the ones best for you. Personal and business partnerships are favored and will be enhanced by what you both have to bring to the table. You can win any power struggle by being relentless but fair. Your numbers are 2, 5, 9, 22, 30, 43, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Sit back and watch what others do. Once you have all the facts and figures, you can make a decision. An emotional issue regarding work will remind you of a past experience. Learn from your mistakes. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll have plenty of choices but not enough time to take advantage of what’s being offered. You can turn a negative into a positive if you don’t spread yourself too thin. A little romance late in the day will confirm that you made the right decision. ★★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Problems when working with groups or dealing with people who want to take advantage of your talents will leave you feeling jaded. Instead, do your own thing. Someone is likely to meddle in your affairs if you share your thoughts and concerns. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Express your feelings and you will be able to solve a personal problem that has been bothering you for some time. A change of plans will give you an opportunity to do things differently. Make the first move. ★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Hold your ground and refuse to budge if you feel you are being taken for granted. A change of plans or the way you feel about someone is evident. Act accordingly and you can clear up a matter you have been tolerating for someone else’s sake. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Too much, too soon will be the problem. Taking on responsibilities that don’t belong to you or getting involved in a money matter you cannot afford must be avoided. Keep your life as simple as possible. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Keep your ideas a secret for now. Someone will meddle in your affairs if you share your thoughts. Focus on socializing with creative people and listening to what they have to say and you will be the one to benefit. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Greater discipline will come to you if you are settled in your personal life. Talk to the people who influence you the most and you can resolve any concerns you may have. A move or change at home will lead to a better future. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will face opposition and people meddling in your affairs if you don’t keep your thoughts to yourself. Travel and communications will lead to problems. A personal relationship will take a sudden turn. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Good fortune can be yours if you are diligent about closing deals and moving assets around. A settlement, legal matter or pending debt can be resolved. Someone from your past can help you bring about much-needed change. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You cannot expect matters to change unless you take action. Opposition is likely but at least it will bring everything out in the open. Use unusual methods to clear up old problems. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Life is moving fast, so be ready to take advantage of everything being offered. A change in your partnerships is apparent. Don’t be afraid to rock the boat; it will show others that you mean business. ★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

If success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing your enthusiasm, Unlucky Louie is my club’s most successful player. Louie ascribes his results to bad luck and keeps coming back for more. In today’s deal, Louie bid himself to four spades. He took the first heart, led a club to his hand and returned a trump: six, queen, king. East cashed the queen of hearts but saw no more side-suit winners. So East continued with the king of hearts. Louie ruffed in his hand and led another trump, but when West took the ace, he led a fourth heart to promote East’s ten of trumps. Down one.

GOOD DEFENSE Louie was unlucky to meet good defense, but the result was mostly his own fault. He misjudged when he tried hard to find a 5-3 spade fit. Since Louie had poor spades and balanced pattern, he’d have done better to bid 3NT at his second turn. (He might also have bid three hearts, a “transfer,” at his first turn, then 3NT next.) If North-South reach 3NT, it’s cold.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 9 8 5 4 3 H 10 7 D K 10 3 C K J 4. Your partner opens one heart, you respond one spade, he bids two diamonds and you return to two hearts. Partner next bids two spades. What do you say? ANSWER: Your partner has a strong hand. He is still trying for game even though your preference bid of two hearts showed at most nine points. But your values are minimum, and your club honors may be wasted opposite a singleton in his hand. Pass. North dealer N-S vulnerable

‘Shutter Island’ stays afloat at No. 1 with $22.2M LOS ANGELES (AP) – Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese continue to lure movie-goers to “Shutter Island,” while James Cameron’s “Avatar” has surpassed $700 million domestically. The Paramount Pictures psychological thriller remained the No. 1 film for a secondstraight weekend with

$22.2 million, raising its 10-day total to $75.1 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. “Shutter Island” stars DiCaprio as a U.S. marshal caught in a tangle of delusions and paranoia while investigating the disappearance of a murderess at a remote hospital for the criminally insane.

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

Duke finds the range Singler, Scheyer spark Blue Devils past Cavaliers CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Kyle Singler scored 21 points as No. 5 Duke beat shorthanded Virginia 67-49 on Sunday night. The Blue Devils (25-4, 12-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) remained a game ahead of Maryland heading into a first-place showdown with the Terps in College Park, Md., on Wednesday night. Jon Scheyer added 20 points for Duke in its eight straight win and fourth consecutive victory in the series. The Blue Devils took command right away, opening the game on a 20-4 run. Singler had 11 points before Virginia had two field goals, and from there the Cavaliers never got closer than 10. They trailed 3521 at halftime and went 5 minutes without a field goal after the break. The Cavaliers (14-13, 5-9) lost their seventh straight playing without scoring leader Sylven Landesberg, who sustained a bruised right thigh in Virginia’s loss at Miami last week. Jerome Meyinsse scored 21 points for Virginia, seven more than his previous career best, but was the only Cavaliers player to make up for Landesberg’s missing points. Mike Scott, the Cavaliers No. 2 scorer with a 12.8 average, went scoreless for a second straight game, with 0-for-6 shooting in 12 minutes. Singler and Scheyer had an easy time offensively. Singler finished 6 for 10 from the field and Scheyer was 8 for 14, and both watched for the last several minutes as Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski and Virginia coach Tony Bennett emptied their benches.

Virginia’s Jontel Evans (1) looks to pass as Duke’s Nolan Smith (2) and Jon Scheyer defend during Sunday night’s ACC game in Charlottesville, Va.

LAS VEGAS (AP) – Another race, another victory for Jimmie Johnson and yet another round of griping about the NASCAR champion’s dominance. Only this time, there was a silver lining for those ready to see someone else hoist the Sprint Cup trophy: his competitors are clearly closing the gap. Johnson reeled in teammate Jeff Gordon at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where the four-time defending champion won for the second consecutive week. He needed luck to win last week at California and strategy Sunday at Las Vegas. Sooner or later, though, he’s

going to run out of ways to win. “We don’t feel invincible,” Johnson said. And he shouldn’t. Kevin Harvick finished second for Johnson the second straight week, then showed signs of the swagger that only Harvick can pull off, and only when he’s running well. “We can run with them, and they know it,” said Harvick, the current points leader. Gordon, who dominated the race only to have to settle for third

when his pit strategy backfired, was buoyed by his ability to lead 219 of the 267 laps. “I think we’ve got more of what we showed today,” he said. “We’re going to show a lot more. I think we’re just starting to tap into it.” Johnson took four tires on the final pit stop – Harvick and Gordon only took two – in a race-winning decision that gave him his 49th career victory and fourth at Las Vegas. It also made the fourtime defending champion the career victory leader on 1.5-mile speedways with 15 – one more than Gordon, Dale Earnhardt and Richard Petty.

This one required beating Gordon, Johnson’s Hendrick Motorsports teammate who hasn’t won a race in almost a year. Gordon was out front when Kevin Conway’s spin brought out the final caution, and debated pitting strategy with crew chief Steve Letarte. The call was made at the last second for Gordon to come in, and Letarte changed just two tires to get Gordon back on track before the competition. Knaus called for four tires in a decision that put Johnson in fourth on the restart. Gordon tried to hold off Johnson, but he finally scooted past with 17 laps to go.

TOP SCORES

wo weeks ago, Wake Forest appeared in good shape to avoid playing on the first day of the ACC Tournament and a solid lock to get an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, if needed. Not any more. Thanks to a three-game losing streak in the conference, the Deacons (8-6) are in real danger of not finishing in the top four and getting a first-day league tournament bye. They are not far from becoming an NCAA bubble team if the losing continues. If they continue the way they have played the past two games, they don’t deserve to be part of March Madness. The losing started when the Deacs blew a double-digit lead at Virginia Tech. That wasn’t a real cause of concern for coach Dino Gaudio. Their play since is. The Deacons were wretched in losing to N.C. State on Feb. 20, shooting poorly and

turning the ball over as they brought back memories of last year’s embarrassing NCAA first-round loss to Cleveland State. Wake still couldn’t shoot straight as it fell to North Carolina on Saturday, bringing back memories of the horrid shooting in last year’s loss to Maryland in the ACC Tournament. Earlier, streaky shooting wasn’t a big issue when Wake went most of the last 10 minutes of two games without a field goal as they finished off two conference victories with free-throw shooting. Now, Wake gives signs of another late-season collapse. The Deacons’ shooting against the Wolfpack and Tar Heels combined was an awful 45-of-140 (32.1 percent). State found a way erase the strongest part of Wake’s offense – guard Ish Smith driving into the lane and either shooting or dishing. UNC clogged the lane as well. The Heels not only kept Smith from going to the hoop, but

also kept the ball from going to Al-Farouq Aminu, limiting him to seven shots. Another place where Wake is leaking oil: guard C.J. Harris has hit the freshman wall. Harris was regularly scoring in double figures when the Deacons were hot. State and Carolina held him scoreless. Gaudio said Wake is lacking confidence and needs to regain its outside shooting to open up the inside game as the last week of the ACC regular season begins. Senior forward L.D. Williams said the Deacons have lost their mojo. Might be time for Gaudio to find a witch doctor. With their RPI rating down to 28 and needing to stay in the top 30 to be in good position to get an NCAA bid, the Deacons may just be sitting at home in three weeks if they don’t get back on track.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

Ryan Miller could only do so much. Only a shot from Canada’s favorite Kid – Sidney Crosby – 7:40 into overtime during Sunday’s goldmedal game kept him from carrying the United States to a perfect mark and the top spot on the Olympic podium. Canada 3, United States 2. And it was every bit that close thanks to the American goaltender, who made 36 saves in an arena rooting hard against him and waiting for him to fail. When Crosby’s winning shot found the back of the net, Miller dropped to a knee and then fell forward. He stayed down for several moments until it was time to head to the bench. Miller, the tournament MVP, graciously accepted the silver medal around his neck, but the disappointment was easy to read on his face. A couple of costly mistakes in front of Miller by his typically surehanded defensemen led to goals that made it 2-0.

Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sidney Crosby (87) shoots past Team USA goalie Ryan Miller for the game-winning goal in the overtime period of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gold medal ice hockey game at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Crosbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golden goal caps Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olympics THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VANCOUVER, British Columbia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sid the Kid has a new label: Olympic hero. Already considered Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest player since Wayne Gretzky, Sidney Crosby did something the Great One never did, scoring the winning goal in overtime to give Canada a 3-2 victory over the United States in perhaps the most important game in the history of this hockey-obsessed nation. By winning the final event of the Vancouver Olympics, Canada earned its 14th gold medal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the most by any country at any Winter Olympics. Wow. Even the disappointed Americans had to appreciate what a Hollywood-esque finish this was. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel real. It feels like a dream. It just feels like dream,â&#x20AC;? Crosby said. It still stung. But the Americans were supposed to be lucky to get a bronze at this tournament. Expectations changed when they reached the finals without ever trailing, but the U.S. got behind early and never led. Their silver was the 37th medal won by the United States at these games, also the most by any country at any Winter Olympics. The U.S. won the medals race for the first time since 1932. Crosbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal set off a wild celebration throughout Canada. In downtown Vancouver, fans set off fireworks in the street, climbed atop bus-stop rooftops and danced on tables in bars. Even IOC president Jacques Rogge got pumped up, gesturing for the crowd inside the arena to cheer louder before he put the gold medal around Crosbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neck. The closing ceremony was to be-

gin about 21â &#x201E;2 hours after the hockey game, and it was going to be hard to top this. One emotional moment already was set: Figure skater Joannie Rochette carrying the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flag into the arena. Rochette won fans throughout the world by winning a bronze medal just days after her mother died of a heart attack while visiting the Olympics. The 24-year-old skater from Quebec said she was surprised one of the gold medalists wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t chosen to carry the flag. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a tough week for me, but I want ... to walk into that stadium with a smile on my face,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I achieved my goals. I want to celebrate with my teammates tonight.â&#x20AC;? In the next-to-last event, which finished just before the hockey game started and will be honored at the closing ceremony, Petter Northug of Norway won the 50-kilometer classical cross-country race. He also became the only man to win four medals at these games; two gold, a silver and a bronze. The Vancouver Games got off to a difficult start, with a Georgian luger dying in a crash during training hours before the opening ceremony to a technical glitch that kept one of the five spires of the Olympic cauldron from rising under the ice. Bad weather shuffled the Alpine skiing schedule, fans were angry they were kept far from an outdoor cauldron by a barbed-wire fence and one of many protests turned violent, with newspaper bins thrown through the windows of a department store. But the longer the Olympics went, the more good vibes began flowing, especially as the Canadians turned into some of the biggest winners. Red was everywhere â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the stands at all events and throughout

MENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S HOCKEY On the 50th anniversary of their first gold medal in Olympic hockey, and 30 years after the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miracle on Ice,â&#x20AC;? it just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meant to be for the Americans. They trailed 2-0, then 2-1 when they pulled goalie Ryan Miller in the final minute. Aided by the extra skater, Zach Parise scored with 24.4 seconds left to force overtime. Through three periods, both teams had the same amount of shots, penalties and, of course, goals. The Americans were on defense most of the extra period. Canada kept attacking, and Crosby ended up beating Miller with a wrist a wrist shot 7:40 in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just tried to get a quick shot on net,â&#x20AC;? Crosby said. Miller dropped to a knee, then fell forward onto the ice. He stayed flat for several moments until it was time to head to the bench. He stood solemnly as he received his silver medal; he was named tournament MVP. Tense and exciting, this was a bigtime game that exceeded its hype. Tickets were nearly impossible to get, unless you were an A-lister. Among those in the building: Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper; hockey greats Gretzky, Gordie Howe and Mark Messier; actors Michael J. Fox, William Shatner and Vince Vaughn; and singers Bryan Adams and Neil Young.

PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Juan Fernandez sank seven 3pointers and scored 23 points, Lavoy Allen had 17 points and 20 rebounds and the Owls rolled over their Philly rival. Temple (24-5, 12-2 Atlantic 10) wiped out a one-point halftime deficit with an 18-0 run to open the second half. Fernandez led the way, hitting four 3s during the game-changing spurt.

Both teams came into the game as part of a three-way tie with No. 20 Temple for a share of first. Xavier (21-7, 12-2) is trying to win a fourth straight A-10 regular-season title.

Panthers pound Fairleigh Dickinson, 16-1 SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – The High Point University baseball team completed the sweep of Fairleigh Dickinson with a 16-1 win on Sunday. Three Panther freshman combined for eight innings on the mound, allowing one run on five hits and junior Mikel Rodenberg pitched a scoreless ninth inning in the win. Freshman Jared Avidon (made the start for HPU, striking out nine in 42⁄3 innings and Zach Haile was credited with the win after pitching 21⁄3 scoreless innings of relief. “This was our most complete game of the year,” said head coach Craig Cozart. “We had great pitching top to bottom and we got everything we needed offensively. We hit for power, stole bases and manufactured runs. We want to see this kind of game more consistently.” Avidon pitched 42⁄3 innings, giving

up just one run on four hits with nine strikeouts in his first career start. With two outs in the top of the fifth and a 21 count on FDU’s Brian Dillon, Avidon called Cozart out of the dugout and took himself out of the game. He had thrown 98 pitches in the game. “I just knew I had to go out there and throw strikes,” Avidon said. “I had energy and control and just tried to throw like I had at Charlotte. I threw strikes and it worked out well. My arm just tightened up in the fifth inning but I am fine.” Haile made his first appearance of the season in relief of Avidon, walking Dillon before he got DJ Robinson to lineout to left field to end the inning. Haile retired the Knights in order in the sixth inning and gave up surrendered one hit in a scoreless seventh inning for the win in his first career appearance.

“It felt great to get out there,” Haile said. “I mainly threw my fastball and changeup, I didn’t need much more because their hitters were already so off balance.” Offensively, High Point got on the board with two runs in the bottom of the second inning. FDU starter Ashley Bulluck walked the bases loaded and then put Sal Pezzino on with the fourth walk of the inning to push home a run. Mike Mercurio hit in to a double play but Matt Ganter scored from third base to give HPU the 2-0 lead. Murray White IV led off the third inning with his third home run of the season, giving High Point a 2-1 lead. The homer extends White’s hitting streak to a career-high six games. With one out in the inning Kyle Mahoney singled to right field and stole second base before Gantner took a 2-1 pitch from Bulluck

over the opposite field wall for his first career homer. HPU would add one more run in the inning on a wild pitch. HPU extended the lead with a six-run sixth inning. With the bases loaded and no one out Gantner doubled down the right field line to clear the bases. Gantner finished the day 2-3 with five RBI. Bartlett and Roberts would also collect RBI in the inning. The Panthers tacked on three more runs in the eighth inning, two on an RBI double by pinch hitter Mike Gragilla to bring the final score of the game to 17-5. High Point outhit FDU 17-5 in the game. Steven Roche and Rodenberg pitched a scoreless inning each for the Panthers as well. HPU (4-2) hosts No. 13 East Carolina on Tuesday for a 6 p.m. game at Williard Stadium. The Pirates are 4-3 on the season.

Bison’s Smith waits for second-place finish

(after a loss) come real quick. You’ll see a lot of guys, their heart’s not in it, they drop down and take a sixth place. We really worked with him, let him know to forget the past, that you can only control what’s ahead of you.” Smith, one match away from placing last year, went all out against Campbell and gave up a few late points to make the 6-0 decision look worse than it actually was. “He had a great wrestler on his hands,” Trepal said. “I feel he went after him full-force, gave it everything he had, no regrets.” Both gave everything they had the past four years to help the Bison program build a firm foundation. Trepal was an assistant coach their freshman seasons and has enjoyed watching the top duo develop. “They’ve definitely been the leaders on this team,” Trepal said. “Both of them just worked their tails off. With the second and third place, they really rose to the top when the time came.” Parkland ended up taking first place in the final 4A team points standings, outscoring Cary 183.5 to 82. The 3A title went to Concord Robinson with 129 points, just ahead of Hillsborough Orange (114). In 2A, Croatan finished strong with 148 points to top Trinity (104) and Salisbury (99). The first 1A crown went to West Wilkes (90), with South Davidson second at 60 and Bishop McGuinness fourth at 48. South boasted a state champion

SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

GREENSBORO – Waiting was a major theme of Saturday’s N.C. High School Athletic Association wrestling championships at the Greensboro Coliseum. A number of local competitors who placed second in the state spoke of waiting for next year to get a shot at redemption. Then there was High Point Central heavyweight Martize Smith, who waited a seeming eternity between his victory in the 4A semifinals at 1:30 p.m. and his championship bout after 10. Smith wound up with a 6-0 loss against Collin Campbell of Roxboro Person and wasn’t receiving his second-place medal until about 10:30. Luckily for Smith and fellow Bison senior Sebastin Schulz, their wait wasn’t quite as painful as it could have been. Schulz’s parents rented one of the Coliseum suites, coach Shaun Trepal said. “They had a space to lay down, nap,” the coach said. “That made it easier for us.” Schulz was busier than Smith throughout Saturday afternoon after falling in his 215-pound semifinal match. But he romped through his next two bouts in the consolation bracket to finish third in the state, one year after being two matches away from placing. “That really shows a lot,” Trepal said. “In something like this when you’re really gunning for that state championship, those next two matches

Bishop McGuinness’ Collin Eichhorn (bottom) had his hands full in this 152-pound loss to Damond Kelly-Spencer of Albemarle in the NCHSAA 1A wrestling championships on Saturday. Eichhorn and the Villains placed fourth overall in the 1A competition. in Chris Anderson, who pinned Dixon’s Lars Gordon in 1:14 for the 215pound title. The area’s 2A grapplers were left longing for next season. Thomasville’s Ronta Burgess fell to Joseph Figueroa of Salisbury in a 5-3 decision. “Just because I got second doesn’t mean I don’t want that first-place finish,” the junior said. “I’ll be back – it’s going to be a long wait, though. We’ve got to put in the work.”

Mahan edges Fowler to win Phoenix Open SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Hunter Mahan has won the Phoenix Open, coming from four strokes back to beat Rickie Fowler by a shot in a 1-2 finish for former Oklahoma State players. The 27-year-old Mahan had an eagle and a pair of birdies in a late four-hole span Sunday to finish at 16-under 268 for

his second PGA Tour victory. The first came at the Travelers Championship in 2007. Mahan closed with consecutive 6under 65s to finish at 16 under. Fowler, just 21 and a tour rookie, had a final-round 68 for the second runner-up finish of his young career, both of them in Arizona.

Miyazato posts second straight victory SINGAPORE (AP) – Ai Miyazato won the HSBC Champions on Sunday to become the first LPGA Tour player in 44 years to sweep the first two events of a season, closing with 3-under 69 for a two-stroke victory over Cristie Kerr. Miyazato, the 24-yearold Japanese star who won the LPGA Thailand last week, took the lead with a birdie on the par-4 16th – a hole she played in 5 under for the week – and parred the final two holes to finish at 10 under on Tanah Merah’s Garden Course. Michelle Wie had a 70 to tie for 15th at 4 under.

Both Trinity grapplers in the finale also landed second, including senior Nick Vetell, who suffered a hamstring injury in his 152-pound clash with Croatan’s C.C. Wright and could not finish. Joseph Anders, at 130 pounds, fell 3-0 to North Lincoln’s Jake Nelson and also is looking forward to another shot at individual and team success. “We had a bunch of great guys this year, a group of great freshmen – that’s a

first for Trinity,” said Anders, a junior. “I’m glad we’ve got all these guys coming back.” Bulldogs coach Kyle Spencer agreed after his team’s deep run in the 2A dual-team playoffs and second-place showing for the individuals. “We can’t rest on our laurels and be satisfied,” he said. “I don’t think this group is going to do that. I think this group is going to come back and be successful.”

Former Enron CEO may get new trial

Barry Emison, a tool and dye technology teacher at Itawamba Community College in Tupelo, Miss., ICC, says “about 100 percent” of the students in the program hoped to get a job at Toyota or one of the suppliers that plan to set up shop in Mississippi.

Toyota puts brakes on new plant BLUE SPRINGS, Miss. (AP) – Terry McShan isn’t thinking about car sales analyses or excess capacity when he drives by the idle Toyota plant in northeast Mississippi. He’s thinking about his little girl. Like most Mississippians, the 46-year-old father of two was thrilled when Toyota announced plans in 2007 to build a plant in Blue Springs, a one-store

town in the north Mississippi hills. McShan soon enrolled in a junior college’s automotive program in hopes of landing a job at the plant. Those were better times, when the car market was strong. Mississippi officials gladly signed off on a $324 million incentive package, and Toyota said it would be building cars in Blue Springs in 2010. Three years later, the econ-

omy has tanked, one of the most trusted brands in the business has recalled millions of cars, and McShan will graduate with no immediate prospects for a Toyota job in Mississippi. Toyota says it’s holding off production in Blue Springs until the car market improves and the company sells off “excess capacity.” It’s anybody’s guess when that’ll be. “It’s just a question of

when the market will support the capacity that we will have at this plant,” David Copenhaver, the Toyota vice president in charge of the Blue Springs facility, said recently. Gov. Haley Barbour, a second-term Republican who helped lure the plant to Mississippi, said Toyota “made a common sense business decision that they need to wait for the automobile market to improve.”

On top of that, the last two weekly jobless claims reports have shown surprise jumps in people filing for unemployment for the first time. Both weeks economists had forecast declines. The uncertainty means investors will delve deeply into the monthly employment report. Underneath headline numbers that aren’t apt to improve much, traders and analysts will dissect other data from the report looking for signs that the economy is on the right path. The report could suggest the U.S. is following Europe, where growth is almost nonexistent, or it could show that the fourthquarter gross domestic product jump of 5.9 percent can be sustained. “Job creation is fundamentally important,” said

The following is a guide for stock symbols listed in The High Point Enterprise:

Brett D’Arcy, chief investment officer of CBIZ Wealth Management Group. “In the end, if we create jobs, we’ll have consumers with dollars in their pockets.” Consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic growth, making it critical to a strong recovery. The headline numbers in Friday’s report – the unemployment rate and jobs

added or lost – will still be important. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters project the unemployment rate rose to 9.8 percent in February from 9.7 percent a month earlier. At the peak of the recession, employers were shedding more than 700,000 jobs a month. In February, they are expected to have cut 20,000 jobs for the second straight month.

Hanesbrands forecasts sales, earnings surge MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

In a time when most corporations are making cautious forecasts about sales – if they predict at all – Hanesbrands Inc. is taking a bullish approach about its short- and mid-term future. It’s an approach that, if successful, could lead to a more stable local employment base following the stunning elimination of about half of its blue- and white-collar jobs here since the spinoff from Sara Lee Corp. in September 2006.

Hanesbrands, an apparel company, is saying that it is primed for a sales and earnings surge. “Hanesbrands is at an inflection point to begin realizing its significant growth potential,” Richard Noll, the company’s chairman and chief executive, said at a presentation to investors last week. “We have spent the last few years building a strong growth platform that utilizes our big brands to drive top-line growth domestically and internationally, a low-cost global supply

conspiracy, securities fraud, insider trading and lying to auditors for his role in the downfall of the once-mighty Houstonbased energy giant. The company collapsed into bankruptcy in 2001 under the weight of years of illicit business deals and accounting tricks. Skilling is serving a sentence of more than 24 years at a minimum security prison outside Denver. The law at issue is a short addendum to the federal mail and wire fraud statute that makes it illegal for officials, executives and others to scheme to deprive those they serve and possibly others of “the intangible right to honest services.” Skilling’s lawyers say the law is unconstitutionally vague. Daniel Petrocelli, Skilling’s main attorney, said in his Supreme Court brief that prosecutors have given it “whatever meaning is necessary to prosecute whatever defendant happens to be in the government’s sights” and that the law “facilitates opportunistic and arbitrary prosecutions.”

Investors await jobs report NEW YORK (AP) – Investors are seeking direction. Friday’s report on employment could give them exactly what they want. The Labor Department’s monthly snapshot on employment has always been crucial for investors trying to figure out where the economy is headed. This month’s report comes at a time when the market cannot figure out which direction it wants to go. Economic indicators domestically and around the globe are as murky as they’ve been in months. Markets have alternated rallies and retreats in recent weeks – sometimes even within a single trading session – following fallout from European debt problems and recent reports on housing, manufacturing and consumer confidence that sent mixed signals.

HOUSTON (AP) – It’s a 28-word word law that federal prosecutors have used for more than two decades to send high-profile public officials and corporate executives, including former Enron Corp. CEO Jeff Skilling, to prison. But the law’s future could be in doubt as Skilling’s appeal of his criminal convictions – in which he challenges the statute’s constitutional validity – is set to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday. Skilling’s challenge of the law is one of three the high court is hearing in its current term, and legal experts say it has the best chance of convincing the justices to strike down the statute. Unclear, though, is whether a successful challenge would overturn some of Skilling’s convictions or all of them, possibly resulting in a new trial. If successful, Skilling’s challenge could also affect convictions in other cases involving prominent defendants. Skilling was convicted in 2006 on 19 counts of

chain to drive margin improvement, and strong cash flow to support multiple strategies for earnings growth. “We see very strong growth in 2010 and are targeting consistently strong growth for the longer term,” Noll said. The company has raised its salesgrowth projection for 2010 from 5 percent to as high as 8 percent. It said it could “double diluted earnings per share over the next three to four years” based on earnings growth between 25 percent and 35 percent and achieving long-term annual growth targets.

Visitors wait for the arrival of a tsunami at Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, Saturday.

Experts defend tsunami warning HONOLULU (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The warning was ominous, its predictions dire: Oceanographers issued a bulletin telling Hawaii and other Pacific islands that a killer wave was heading their way with terrifying force and that â&#x20AC;&#x153;urgent action should be taken to protect lives and property.â&#x20AC;? But the devastating tidal surge predicted after Chileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magnitude 8.8-earthquake for areas far from the epicenter

never materialized and by Sunday, authorities had lifted the warning after waves half the predicted size tickled the shores of Hawaii. Scientists acknowledged they overstated the threat, but defended their actions, saying they took the proper steps and learned the lessons of the 2004 Indonesian tsunami that killed thousands of people who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough warning.
