Wendell F. Phillips, director of community outreach in the Division of Development and University Relations at North Carolina A&T State University, recently had a guest commentary featured on the BlackPressUSA Web site. In the article “The Audacity to Adopt,” Phillips explains why he feels there is a large disproportion of AfricanAmerican families adopting children left behind in the aftermath of the earthquakes in Haiti.

HIGH POINT – Possible changes in the state’s ABC system haven’t gotten a warm reception from High Point leaders. One of the city’s legislative priorities for the upcoming short session of the N.C. General Assembly is to oppose any changes in the system unless all revenue losses to local government are replaced by “permanent and reliable” funding sources. Gov. Bev Perdue sent a letter to state legislators last week about ABC reform and possible privatization of the system. Perdue called for a study to determine the value of the liquor system, as state leaders consider a possible overhaul. High Point’s ABC system generated about $608,000 for the city last budget year. The system also funds city police officers who monitor ABC establishments and investigate illegal alcohol sales, as well as alcohol education efforts. “Right now, High Point is in charge of the revenue it gener-

FINANCIAL IMPACT

–

Officials came up with a projection showing that, if High Point lost its ABC system, the city would lose $4.53 million over the next three years. About $2.5 million of the total is related to unemployment, insurance and retiree costs for system employees, as well as leases and debt service for a new building. The loss of profits is projected to be $1.995 million, with $1.699 million slated to go to the city and the remainder to fund law enforcement and alcohol education. North Carolina is among 18 “control” states where government directly controls wholesale and retail liquor distribution, but it’s the only one where local ABC boards sell spirits and are essentially independent from state government, according to The Associated Press.

DMV says inspections required before renewals BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – After a year of transition, there’s still one fact about the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles’ new no-sticker inspection and registration process that drivers seem to be missing, according to officials. “Rule of thumb is that inspection comes before registration,” said Marge Howell, spokesperson for the DMV. The new system won’t allow a driver to renew their license plates before their vehicle is inspected, which has caused some problems for those who don’t follow the rule. If a person tries to have their tags renewed in person at a state license plate agency, they’ll be turned away if they fail to get the car inspected first, Howell said. The DMV’s Web site also prohibits a person from renewing their tags online if the car hasn’t been inspected. But when a driver who hasn’t had their vehicle inspected mails

in their registration form along with their payment, bigger problems can arise. “When people try to send in their registration renewals by mail, that process does not work the same way as others,” said Howell. “The checks are sent to one place to be deposited, and the renewal forms are sent to another. We’re finding about 1,000 forms a day where drivers haven’t gotten their inspections done but have sent in their registration renewal anyway. It takes about a week to notify the driver that they must have an inspection before a renewal, and three to four weeks to get a refund. “That’s obviously not a happy situation, so we’re trying to get the word out and let drivers know they need to get that inspection done first,” Howell said. Doug Langford, general manager of Xpress Lube in High Point, said he had seen several customers come into his shop for inspections after trying to renew their tags first.

“Last year at this time, the problem was that when it started, there wasn’t a uniformed process in the minds of most drivers for when you get a car registered and inspected,” he said. “Now the problem is that before you get your tags renewed, you have to get your car inspected.” Drivers mostly will have adjusted to the system once the inspection-before-registration rule becomes more popular, he said. Also an added benefit of the DMV’s new system, which keeps an electronic database of inspections, is that the DMV can now identify the most prevalent safety issues with cars brought in to be inspected. In the last six months, those problems have been tire failures, break light problems and steering mechanism problems. “We’ve never been able to track that before,” Howell said. “It lets us know what we need to tell people to look out for.”

Silva: Financial caution dictates lineup Before you read...

----

Second in a three-part series. BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The decision for the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival to stage only one play in its main season for the second year in a row was dictated by numbers and caution. Producing a second play this year would have meant an additional $75,000 to $80,000, and based on ticket sales from last year, the additional expense might not have been recouped, said Pedro Silva, managing director. “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” last year’s sole offering, generated $110,000 in ticket sales, which was $20,000 more than budgeted and validation that choosing to stage one play was the correct decision. On the other hand, ticket sales

for the holiday production of “A Christmas Carol,” traditionally a big earner, were down about $40,000 last year. A drop in SAVING school and study THE ARTS group sales accounted for $15,000 of that Shakespeare $40,000 decrease. In Festival 2010 addition, an ice and ■■■ snow storm coincided with “A Christmas Carol.” Silva has never seen such a significant cutback in arts in school budgets. “Teachers tell me the administration doesn’t think (Shakespeare) is curriculum worthy,” he said. Teachers also say they don’t want to place an additional burden on parents by asking for money for their children to attend plays or arts education programs. “A Christmas Carol” sales, especially, were a statement of how delicate the economy is, Silva said.

“I feel while we’re getting better news about the economy turning around, I think there is still a great – maybe even greater – degree of caution in the community. ... We’re simply not out of the woods of the economic recession,” he said. The Shakespeare Festival has weathered the bad economy relatively well, and Silva feels that to take risks now would be unwise. Recently, the Shakespeare Festival tapped into $30,000 that is being held by High Point Community Foundation from the sale of McPherson Center, now Enterprise Center. The center, former home of The High Point Enterprise, was designated for use by arts groups when the Enterprise moved to its current location. When the building was sold, the Shakespeare Festival received a portion of the selling price. That amount was as much as $150,000 at one time, but dropped to considerably less because of stock market performance in the past several years. The Shake-

The Shakespeare Festival’s only major debt now is $950,000 still owed from purchase and renovation of buildings that now are its offices and production/rehearsal/ education facilities at 807 W. Ward Ave. Silva hopes to retire that debt soon. “We hope for 2011 for a twoplay main season, but I’d be a fool to guarantee that,” Silva said. vknopfler@hpe.com | 888-3601

ates,” said Rosalind Stewart, general manager of the city’s ABC system. “That would change by moving to one countywide system and certainly, privatization would change that greatly. Anything can happen in the legislature, and I think all of it will have the potential to affect the revenue stream that comes from the High Point ABC to the city of High Point.” Perdue called for stronger ethical standards and oversight of local ABC boards in the wake of recent scandals involving boards in Mecklenburg and New Hanover counties.

Swiss voters reject giving abused animals a lawyer

GENEVA (AP) – The result was emphatic: Swiss voters don’t think abused animals need to have their own lawyers. It’s a proposal that would never even come near a referendum in other countries, but the measure’s defeat Sunday disappointed animal rights advocates, who say Switzerland’s elaborate animal welfare

the system has functioned well since then. “We have got a dedicated group of volunteers that supervises that system,” Mayor Becky Smothers said. “We have an excellent manager, and we’ve gotten nothing but very positive reports out of the state in terms of the state oversight.” Supporters of the current system argue privatization would take away profits and other revenues from local governments and leave them stranded with real property in retail locations subject to mortgages, long-term leases and other expenses, as well as personnel-related costs for local ABC employees. “The stranded cost issue is one of those things I don’t think (state officials) even have an inkling of,” Smothers said.

laws aren’t being enforced. Opponents of the proposal, including key farmers’ groups and the government, had argued that existing laws are sufficient and appointing special lawyers to act on behalf of animals would be unnecessarily expensive for taxpayers. “The Swiss people have clearly said our an-

imal protection laws are so good we don’t need animal lawyers,” Jakob Buechler, a lawmaker for the centrist Christian People’s Party, told Swiss television SF1. Official results showed that 70.5 percent of voters cast their ballot against the proposal to extend nationwide a system that has been in place in Zurich since 1992.

CHARLOTTE – Two tiny, pewter-colored coffins were the final scene in a week of mourning as a west Charlotte community buried baby brothers who died in a fire while their mother was out. Josiah and Gabriel Hawthorne died last Sunday in an early morning blaze sparked by a kerosene heater in their bedroom while they were at home unattended. Their older brother and sister, 4 and 7, were saved by a neighbor who ran across the street toward the burning one-story house. They are in DSS custody, but attended Saturday’s funeral. The toddlers’ father, Jerry Hawthorne, sat weeping in the front row of Chappell Memorial Baptist Church, around the corner from the house, receiving hugs and condolences from loved ones. The children’s mother, Orgal Opata, 26, is in jail, charged with two counts of murder, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and exposing children to fire.

Sheltered cat counted as 5th rabies case ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY — A cat under rabies observation at the Guilford County Animal Shelter tested positive for the rabies virus this week, health officials reported. The rabid cat had contact with one human. The case is the fifth case of animal rabies in Guilford County this year. The county had as many as 11 rabies cases in 2009. Raccoons are the primary carrier of rabies in North Carolina, but the disease also is common in skunks and foxes, and

can be found in dogs, cats, horses, cattle and other animals. North Carolina law requires that all domestic pets 4 months of age and older to have vaccinations against rabies and that their vaccinations are kept current. The law applies even if pets are exclusively kept indoors. Barnyard pets such as goats, horses and cows should also be vaccinated against rabies for their protection against this deadly virus. Unvaccinated pets exposed to a rabid animal must be euthanized or

confined for six months in a veterinarian’s facility at the owner’s expense. Rabies will continue to circulate even in cold weather, according to health officials. Outdoor pets should be brought indoors if possible or at least have appropriate housing to shelter them from winter conditions, health experts warn.

Smaller dogs and cats run the highest risk of hypothermia and death. Outdoor pets need access to food and water that are not frozen. For more information, contact the Guilford County Department of Public Health at 641-7777, Guilford County Animal Control at 641-5990 or visit www.guilfordhealth.org.

Police investigate assault of state board member MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

RALEIGH – Raleigh detectives are investigating the serious injury of state Board of Education member Kathy A. Taft as an assault, a police spokesman said early this afternoon. Taft, found injured at a Raleigh home, was taken to WakeMed on Saturday. This afternoon, Raleigh police spokesman Jim Sughrue said Taft’s injuries were serious and that she remains hospitalized, but did not give further details about how she was assaulted. WakeMed spokeswoman Keicha Berzins said the hospital would not be releasing any information on Taft’s condition today. Taft, who lives in Greenville, was injured at a home in the 2700 block of Cartier Drive, near Oberlin Road in Raleigh, police reported. A dispatcher with Raleigh’s emergency communications center said emergency medical workers were dispatched to 2710 Cartier Drive at 11:38 a.m. Saturday. Emergency workers took Taft to the hospital, and police were called. Wake County property records indicate that the 1,427-square-foot residence is owned by John M. Geil. Geil, a Raleigh attorney, could not be reached for comment. Police are holding the crime scene for now as

the investigation continues. According to the state Department of Public Instruction’s Web site, Taft’s board term ends March 31, 2011. Before being appointed to the state Board of Education by former Gov. Jim Hunt in 1995, Taft was a former vice chairwoman of the Pitt County Board of Education. She is a founding member of the Pitt County Communities in Schools Program. Bill Harrison, chairman of the state Board of Education, said Taft is one of the longest serving members of the board and chairs the committee charged with making sure North Carolina students are academically competitive.

Residents should speak up on truck parking ban I want all Trinity citizens who object to the inclusion of trucks in their neighborhood to know that while I realize this has been a sore spot lately, I feel we need to reinforce the fact that we, as the majority, should be heard when it comes to this matter. Apparently, the ordinance was just a suggested idea and the truckers managed to change the mind of City Council. The idea of grandfathering in something that shouldn’t have been there to begin with is laughable. Of course, City Council probably doesn’t have to worry about this happening in their neighborhoods, but maybe they should worry. If trucks are allowed in any neighborhoods, they would have to be allowed in theirs. My request is this: Anyone who lives in a neighborhood that currently has trucks parked on a residential lot should attend the next City Council meeting and let their feelings be heard. Even people who don’t have any in their neighborhood, but don’t want to see this happen to them, might attend in support. Understand, I do not hate truckers, but I do hate trucks on my block. The meeting will be March 16 at 7 p.m. We need any interested parties to attend. PAM GOINS Trinity

Hinson wants to force controls on Congress “Money Talks.” If you have money, you win; if you don’t have money – you loose. Cathy Brewer Hinson, a candidate for the U.S. 6th Congressional District, has a three-prong platform that has been public since November 2009. Her platform will live whether she wins or not. People are more powerful than money, and when people grasp the knowledge of the scam played to separate them from their money, they will keep this platform alive. Hinson’s platform begins with a constitutional amendment for “we the people” to force controls

In spite of Elkins’ ramblings, however, the Bible makes it clear in many places that homosexual behavior is a sin and an abomination to God. But, Elkins has the answer. He says the Bible should not be mindlessly followed. That’s a long standing tactic of the gay lobby. If you don’t like something the Bible says, just change it to say something you like better. Elkins infers that homosexual behavior is normal. He’s right. Sin is normal. God is against it. JOHN E. RAMSEY High Point

Her letter to the Enterprise last August criticized the health care bill based entirely on a viral email. A false e-mail. Reputable Web sites like Factcheck had already disproven it. Soon after, letter writer Cyndi Carmichael pointed out that the e-mail was full of false information. Hinson responded, “I stand by my Your View letter.” She should review the E.B. White quote that she used, as well as, “Each of us is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.” Anyone can make a mistake; what defines character is how we deal with our errors.

Corporations now can get their politicians elected There is no way individuals can compete with corporations when it comes to the donations of money. The individual people who run a corporation already have equal – if not more – rights than the average citizen. The corporations are not individual people and need to be carefully regulated or could do great harm. Many corporations are owned by foreign partners; should they be in control of our government? They already lobby and advertise on issues way too much. The amount of money corporations could use to get their pick elected (a small percentage of their profits) would be more than was spent by all the politicians in 2008! Goodbye democracy.

What Works: Atlanta project starts movement

N

EW ORLEANS – Warren Buffett leads a troop of officials, reporters and a guy with a boom mike into the justfinished new apartment. Five years ago, after the levees failed, this area was 10 feet underwater. Now, on this bitterly cold morning early in March, it is a construction zone ringed by chain-link fences, and one of the richest men in America wanders around what will eventually be some family’s home. Model furnishings have been placed just so. The smell of new is still in the rooms. This is part of the inaugural meeting of the Purpose Built Communities network, to which civic leaders from around the country have come. And, it is an attempt to export “What Works,” as in my 2007-08 series of columns by that name, about programs that have shown success saving young people in crisis. One of the most ambitious of them was the East Lake Foundation in Atlanta, founded in 1995 by developer Tom Cousins. Cousins achieved near miracles – violent crime down 96 percent, 78 percent of kids passing the state math test when only 5

percent could do it before – in what had been one of the worst and most dangerous public housing projects in the country. There were many elements to that success: offering better schools, creating an early learning center, building a YMCA, evicting

felons. But the centerpiece was that in the airy new apartment complex Cousins built to replace the housing project, half the units are held for middle-income families, the other half for poor, government subsidized families. The idea being that middle-income people would, just in their daily doings, model for their neighbors the habits and behaviors of a successful life. It worked, spectacularly. And Purpose Built Communities is the outgrowth. Founded by Cousins, Buffett and philanthropist Julian Robertson, it offers expertise, guidance and partnerships to those seeking to replicate East Lake’s success in their own

blighted communities. Its member network includes projects in Rome, Ga., Jackson, Miss., Indianapolis and Memphis. There is no charge for its services. Vice President Carol Naughton says community leaders in other cities who want to learn more should visit www.purposebuiltcommunities.org. Or, she says: “Give me a call. It’s that simple. Give me a call (404-591-1400) and we’ll start the conversation. We can kind of coach you about how to build this initial organization, about who your partners can be, who can bring resources to the community and advocate for the community. And who those resources are ‘within’ the community, too.” It is not easy, and it is not magic. It takes time, tears, toil and setback to grow hope in places where it has not grown before. But do it, says Cousins, and “you will see the children that would’ve been lost in the normal process become stars, become bright.” “There is,” says PBC President Chuck Knapp, “a difference between a project and a movement.” They want this to be a movement.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

“Whenever you have something happen like East Lake,” says Buffett, “people say, ‘That’s just because one guy had a passion for it, wouldn’t stop and went through a brick wall, made it happen.’ “But the ‘real’ test is whether it’s replicable. Once you do it beyond where the founders started it, it becomes evident to other communities: If the community cares enough about getting it done, it will get done.” And this, he says, “needs” to get done in dozens of communities. Not just one or two, not just five or six. “When you’ve got East Lake with 95 percent of the kids now meeting grade level or above when 5 percent were doing it before ... you’re turning out human beings who are going to get a chance to live up to their potential. And you can’t ask for more than that.” LEONARD PITTS JR., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald. E-mail him at lpitts@miamiherald.com.

US troops withdrawing en masse from Haiti PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – U.S. troops are withdrawing from the shattered capital, leaving many Haitians anxious that the most visible portion of international support is ending even as the city is still mired in misery and vulnerable to unrest. Haitians wondered whether U.N. peacekeepers and local police are up to the task of maintaining order.

Togo opposition claims fraud in president vote LOME, Togo – Togo’s top opposition candidate was pelted with tear gas for a second time Sunday as he vowed to take to the streets every day in protest of what he says was an election rigged to favor the son of the country’s longtime dictator. Results showed JeanPierre Fabre lost to current President Faure Gnassingbe by a 2-1 margin.

JOS, Nigeria – Rioters armed with machetes slaughtered more than 200 people overnight Sunday as religious violence flared anew between Christians and Muslims in central Nigeria, witnesses said. Hundreds of people fled their homes, fearing reprisal attacks. The bodies of the dead – including many women and children – lined dusty streets in three mostly Christian villages.

Al-Qaida: US Muslims should attack America CAIRO – Al-Qaida’s American-born spokesman on Sunday called on Muslims serving in the U.S. armed forces to emulate the Army major charged with killing 13 people in Fort Hood. In a 25-minute video posted on militant Web sites, Adam Gadahn described Maj. Nidal Hasan as a pioneer who should serve as a role model for other Muslims. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Iraqi voters undaunted by attacks BAGHDAD (AP) – Iraqis defied insurgents who lobbed hand grenades at voters and bombed a polling station Sunday in an attempt to intimidate those taking part in elections that will determine whether their country can overcome deep sectarian divides as U.S. forces prepare to leave. The conclusion of the vote, however, did not spell an immediate end to political uncertainty. It could be days until results come in and with the fractured nature of Iraqi politics, it could take months to form a government. Sunnis and Shiites seemed united in one way Sunday – defiance in the face of violence.

Thousands of quake survivors participated in the looting, which began only hours after the devastating earthquake and grew to include grandmothers and small children. Outnumbered police could only stand and watch, urging people to take only the food they needed, until soldiers arrived and restored order. The looting hampered rescue and recovery efforts by distracting firefighters and police and deeply wounded the national pride of Chileans who yearn to be considered part of the first world.

CONCEPCION, Chile (AP) – The officers came with bullhorns to impoverished neighborhoods near the epicenter of Chile’s devastating earthquake, warning looters to return what they stole or face police raids. And so they did, depositing everything from mattresses to refrigerators and flat-screen TVs. It took 35 truckloads to recover it all. Together with looted merchandise recovered by police, the material is worth nearly $2 million, officers said. Touring a police gymnasium full of the recovered goods on Sunday, President Michelle Bachelet called the looting one of “the other aftershocks of this tragic earthquake,� and vowed that those responsible would feel the full weight of the law: prison terms of two to five years. “These are items that have

President Barack Obama, with President Joe Biden at his side, makes a statement about the elections in Iraq, in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, Sunday.

Obama: Iraq vote an ‘important milestone’ WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama praised the Iraqi people for passing “an important milestone� Sunday, when millions turned out for national elections despite insurgent attacks that killed more than 30 people.

No doubt relieved that violence was not worse, Obama said Iraqi security forces showed maturing capabilities as they protected the nation through a day that was ripe for attacks by Sunni Muslim insurgents and al-Qaida in Iraq.

3 Democrats unsure about changing health care votes WASHINGTON (AP) – A top House Democrat said he believes Congress will pass a health care bill, but three fellow Democrats who opposed overhaul legislation last fall aren’t committing themselves to backing President Barack Obama’s late push. Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who heads the House Democrats’ campaign team, said House members are waiting to see the final plan and how the Congressional Budget Office analyzes its budget implications before deciding to support it. “I believe it will pass.

“Do we have a mortal lock? No,� Van Hollen said. “But I think the trend is in the right direction because people see that the status quo is absolutely broken.� Three House Democrats who voted against the bill – Rep. Brian Baird, D-Wash., Rep. Jason Altmire, D-Pa. and Rep. John Adler, D-N.J. – appeared open to considering changing their votes, but none of them committed to supporting the Senate legislation. “The complexity, I think, worries a lot of people,� said Baird.

“Today’s voting makes it clear that the future of Iraq belongs to the people of Iraq,� the president said. The big turnout and limited violence were seen as key to the planned withdrawal of American combat forces by Aug. 31.

Everyone involved in the accident was wearing a seat belt. Alcohol was not a factor in the crash.

School layoff policy to get review BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – School district leaders will take another look Tuesday at a revised layoff policy that some teachers don’t like.

The current Reduction in Force policy states, “If the Board determines that the total number of career employees is to be reduced, the Board, upon the Superintendent’s recommendation, shall review and authorize the criteria to be utilized by the Superintendent and his/her designees in selecting career employees for termination as part of an involuntary reduction in the Board of Education’s workforce.”

Last year, school district leaders found jobs for most laid-off staff after eliminating positions because of budget cuts. For licensed senior staff, the school board would still make the final layoff decision. Meanwhile, the board is facing pay pressures from several directions. Maintenance worker Johnny Cook told the school board that many hourly workers have not had raises in three years. Starting wages for some are as low as $22,000 a year. “We need an increase to a living wage,” he said. The board also will consider contract renewals for about 60 principals and assistant principals. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Ledford boosters prepare for annual auction BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Dozens of items will be auctioned off later this month to benefit the Ledford High School Athletic Booster Club during the club’s annual fundraiser in High Point. The fifth annual Ledford High Athletic Booster Club auction and dinner, titled, “Set Sail to Paradise,” will be held at the High Point County Club at 6 p.m. March 20. The event has been known to raise thousands of dollars to help support the athletic programs of Ledford High, said Donald Palmer, the school’s athletic director. According to Palmer, members of the Ledford High Athletic Booster Club have volunteered several hours to prepare for this year’s event. Trips, tickets to sporting events, autographed Brad Hoover and Madison Hedgecock jerseys, furniture and jewelry are among items that will be auctioned off.

Former head of NASA center dies in Texas HOUSTON (AP) – Aaron Cohen, the former director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center who helped create the space shuttle program, has died in College Station after a long fight with cancer. He was 79. Cohen was named director of the Johnson Space Center in 1986 after the space shuttle Challenger exploded, killing teacher Christa McAuliffe and six astronauts. He told the Associated Press then that flying the shuttle safely would depend on “paying attention to detail� and he would encourage those who worked for him to do so.

Cohen was at the helm when shuttle flights resumed nearly three years later and continued to lead the center until 1993. He resigned from NASA to teach at Texas A&M University, his alma mater. “His engineering expertise and rigor were tremendous assets to our nation and NASA,� NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in statement. “Aaron provided the critical and calm guidance needed at the Johnson Space Center to successfully recover from the Challenger accident and return the space shuttle to flight. We will

miss him as a colleague, mentor and a friend.� Cohen, a mechanical engineer, joined NASA in 1962 and managed the computer guidance systems for the Apollo command module and the landing module that first carried astronauts to the moon’s surface. He was a leader in developing the shuttle. “He was the one person at the Johnson Space Center responsible for the design, development, tests and the funds – the budget of the shuttle – from the time it started to the time it flew,� his supervisor and friend Christopher Kraft told the Houston Chronicle.

British tenor Langridge dies at 70 LONDON (AP) – British tenor Philip Langridge, who won praise for his vocal versatility and subtle characterization, has died at the age of 70, the Royal Opera House said Sunday. The company said Langridge died Friday after a short battle with cancer. Composer Harrison

Birtwistle said “his death leaves a large hole in the world’s music.� Langridge was born in Hawkhurst, southern England, in 1939 and studied at the Royal Academy of Music. He began his career as an orchestral violinist, but turned to singing, making his professional operatic debut

in Richard Strauss’s “Capriccio� at the Glyndebourne festival in 1964. He went on to perform all over the world and had a long association with the Royal Opera. His roles there included Basilio in “The Marriage of Figaro� and Loge in Wagner’s “Das Rheingold.�

A mother’s miracle

Poodle mix is finalist in Dogs of Valor contest

Woman who has lost 5 babies elated over child’s birth

RALEIGH (AP) – A 4year-old poodle mix with a knack for saving people’s lives is a finalist in a national contest recognizing canine heroes. Owners Barbara and Fred Berman of Sanford named their dog Prozac because he makes everybody happy. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Sunday that Prozie – as his family calls him – is a finalist in the Dogs of Valor contest sponsored by the U.S. Humane Society. Prozac’s first heroic

WINSTON-SALEM (AP) – Charmara Mahan carefully cradled her son in her arms. “God bless you,� she said softly when he sneezed. “I lost five children before him,� Mahan said. “When he was (born), it was a miracle. I still pray. It is a blessing. And I cry all of the time.� Mahan gave birth to her son, Ra’Shawn Shamar Ratliff, at 7:01

‘When he was (born), it was a miracle. I still pray. It is a blessing.’

DURHAM (AP) – Two North Carolina men were killed when their car was hit from behind by another car that left the scene of the accident. Highway Patrol Sgt. Jeff D. Gordon told the News & Observer of Raleigh that 24-year-old Timothy Parrish Jr. and 37-year-old Keith Mitchell Durham died early Saturday. Gordon said witness-

AP

Charmara Mahan holds her newborn son, Ra’Shawn Shamar Ratliff, at Forsyth Medical Center in Winston-Salem. Prior to Ra’Shawn’s birth, Mahan had four miscarriages and also lost a daughter at 23 weeks. She underwent several procedures to ensure a healthy birth. She spent 11 weeks of her pregnancy in a hospital bed, with her legs elevated above her head for the baby’s safety. Finally, doctors induced labor and she gave birth to Ra’Shawn after 10 hours of labor. Diane Mann, the hospital’s perinatal-bereavement service coor-

dinator, befriended Mahan when Mann was organizing a remembrance last year for parents who had lost babies. Mann said she was thrilled that Mahan had a healthy boy. “She hasn’t had a lot of sleep,� Mann said of Mahan. “But that is a cute little boy.�

Man stops keeping house the minute he got married

D

ear Abby: When I first met my husband of two years, “Phil,� he owned his own home, kept it spotless and his yard neat, prepared his own meals and did his laundry. Those qualities made him stand out from the many spoiled “Mama’s boys� I had dated in the past. Now that we’re married it’s like he has amnesia. He has “forgotten� how to operate the washing machine, scrub a toilet or wash a dish. He hasn’t cleaned the bathroom once since our wedding, washes only one load of laundry a week (his own work uniforms) and performs other domestic tasks only if I ask repeatedly. I don’t enjoy nagging him. I teach school and attend graduate school at night, so I’m just as exhausted at the end of the day as he is, even though his labor is more physical. I know this problem is nothing new, but I am hoping you can offer some insight or advice. Why do so many men feel entitled to flop on the couch every night and expect us women to trudge through the housework into the wee hours? – Not The Maid in South Carolina Dear Not The Maid: Probably because that’s what they saw their mothers do, and whether it’s conscious or not, they consider housework to be “women’s work.� However, a lot has changed over the last generation, and your mother-in-law

act came in 2009 when he was staying with a friend in the neighborhood while the Bermans were out of town. His incessant barking woke up the dogsitters. “He wouldn’t stop for an hour,� Barbara Berman said. “They were ready to kill him.� But that attitude softened when the neighbors realized their house was on fire. The house was destroyed, but everyone got out in time. Internet votes and a panel of celebrity judges will decide the winner.

2 men killed when their car hit from behind

Charmara Mahan New mother a.m. Feb. 25 at Forsyth Medical Center. He weighs 7 pounds and 1 ounce. She delivered him after enduring four miscarriages and the death of infant girl, Lenique, who was born prematurely at 23 weeks. Her last miscarriage occurred in May 2009, a month before she became pregnant with Ra’Shawn. “It’s been a story of hope,� she said. “Thank God for his grace and mercy.� Mahan, 34, works as a certified nursing assistant in the hospital’s emergency room. She spent much of her pregnancy in the hospital, as doctors tried desperately to keep the baby from being born prematurely. Twice, surgeons performed an operation in which they stitched her cervix closed to keep her from giving birth early. Dr. Andrew Lewis was one of Mahan’s doctors. “I was honest with her,� Lewis said. “At that point, I didn’t have high hopes for the pregnancy. I wanted to get her to the point where the baby would have a fighting chance.�

deserves credit for equipping her son to be independent after he left her nest. ADVICE Because so many Dear couples Abby are both ■■■employed today, many husbands and wives share housekeeping responsibilities. And because you yourself are working the equivalent of two jobs, that’s what you and your husband should be doing. Of course, that won’t happen until and unless you’re willing to put your foot down and impress upon him that you married him to be his partner – not his maid – and that if he wants a happy marriage, he’s going to have to pull his share of the load.

this? Surely, she is not participating in a team sport without their written permission. That said, because everything one reads on the Internet isn’t necessarily accurate, if you wish to pursue this, I’d recommend you start by talking to a licensed medical professional.

Dear Abby: I’m worried about my 14-year-old granddaughter. She’s a good soccer player and frequently “heads� the soccer ball. I think this could be harmful to her brain. I have spoken to two coaches about it; they say I shouldn’t worry. But I saw on the Internet that chronic traumatic brain injury has occurred in soccer and football players. What do you think? Should I pursue this concern? – Grandma And Nurse in Houston

Dear Infatuated: More than a few romances have started in the workplace, if there is no company policy forbidding fraternization, so why not ask him to join you for dinner one evening? I can’t see how that would be a risk to your friendship. His response will tell you whether or not he’s just an office flirt who enjoys the sexual tension and prefers to leave things as they are.

Dear Grandma: What do your granddaughter’s parents have to say about

Dear Abby: I have been infatuated with a co-worker for more than a year. The problem is, he knows it and is reluctant to become more involved because we work together. We flirt constantly. We’re good friends and talk almost daily about things that go way beyond work. Everyone here knows we have a thing for each other. How do I cross over without risking our friendship? We’re both single and unattached. – Infatuated in Downey, Calif.

Counterfeit shoes seized in NC given to the poor RALEIGH (AP) – Several North Carolina agencies are shipping seized counterfeit shoes to poor countries. The Division of Alcohol Law Enforcement said Sunday that $850,000 in counterfeit shoes that were seized in the Charlotte area have been boxed up and sent to World Vision. The relief agency provides disaster assistance around the world. The Alcohol Law Enforcement Division has been working with the Secretary of State’s office in a crackdown on counterfeit goods. The state got the permission from Nike and Timberland to donate the 8,000 pairs of shoes and 500 boots.

When performing the Heimlich on yourself, the chances of success are greatly reduced because the procedure is awkward, especially when you are starting to suffer from lack of oxygen. Hopefully you never have to use this procedure, but you should always be prepared for the unexpected. I would even suggest that each of you, especially parents, take a first-aid course and learn how to perform the Heimlich maneuver.

I don’t claim to be an expert in saving yourself from choking, but I thought these tips might be helpful in this life-threatening situation. If you can speak or cough, your airway is not completely blocked, so try removing the object by coughing. It would not be wise to try to reach the object with your fingers because you could force the object deeper into your trachea, making it much harder to expel it by coughing. Coughing is a more effective way to remove a partial blockage. If your airway becomes completely blocked, the normal reaction is to panic, so you must overcome this urge and remain calm. You have a limited amount of time before passing out from lack of oxygen, so time is definitely at a premium. It is possible for you to perform the Heimlich maneuver on yourself. First make a fist and place it, thumb side in, slightly above your navel. Then grab the fist with your other hand and press in and up with sharp thrusts until the object is expelled. Another possibility is to lean over a fixed object, such as a chair,

Osteoporosis medicines stick around long time

ear Dr. Donohue: I recently had a bone density test, which showed that I needed to be on medication for osteoporosis. My doctor gave me a prescription for Actonel. This medicine is taken once a month. I would like to know how a medicine can stay in your system for one month and how it affects the rest of your body. What do you know about Reclast, which is a once-a-year, intravenous medicine for osteoporosis? – V.D.

BLONDIE

B.C.

Bones undergo daily remodeling. A crew of bone cells called osteoclasts demolishes sections of bone. Another crew of bone cells, osteoblasts, immediately repairs them. In osteoporosis, the demolition crew outpaces the repair crew. The family of medicines that have the greatest effect in reversing osteoporosis is the bisphosphonate family. Actonel (risedronate) is a member of this family. It can be given daily, once a week or monthly. Higher doses are given when it’s used less frequently. Bisphosphonates are incorporated into the bone. They slow down the demolition cells. The fact that the medications become part of the bone explains why they last so long. They’re protected from being metabolized. Reclast (zolendronic

acid), another bisphosphonate, also has sanctuary in bone and is very, HEALTH very slowly metaboDr. Paul lized. It acts Donohue on bone for ■■■ an entire year. How do these drugs affect the rest of the body? The oral bisphosphonates’ side effects include things like diarrhea, stomach pain and esophageal irritation if they get stuck in the esophagus. The intravenous bisphosphonate can produce joint and muscle pain, fever, chills and fatigue. These effects are transient. The most feared side effect is jaw osteonecrosis, death of a small portion of the jawbone. This happens mostly when bisphosphonates are used in high doses for the treatment of cancer that has spread to bone. It’s rarely a side effect of osteoporosis treatment, but it has happened to a few. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am ill with anemia and asthma. Please provide information on these and on a diet that’s good for blood. – R.D. Anemia is a deficiency of red blood cells. Treatment for anemia – and there are many differ-

ent kinds of it – depends on its cause. A common cause is lack of iron, and that’s most often due to blood loss. Blood contains most of the body’s iron. Frequently, the blood loss is hidden and doesn’t produce symptoms. The site of bleeding has to be discovered and treated. Iron is then given to spur blood cell production. A lack of vitamin B-12 is another cause of anemia, and treatment consists in providing that vitamin, usually through shots. Normal red blood cells live for 120 days. An immune attack on red blood cells causes their premature death and another kind of anemia. Its treatment is complicated. These are only a few of the different kinds of anemia. There is no one good diet for all types of anemia. Asthma consists of sudden attacks of airway (bronchi) narrowing, with the production of thick mucus. Both block the flow of air into and out of the lungs. Wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath are its symptoms. Asthma is controlled with medicines that keep the airways open and soothe airway irritation. DR.

Haitians to benefit from exhibit’s proceeds BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

G

REENSBORO – As a native of New Orleans, a city that has rebuilt itself in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Jacquelyn Hughes Mooney understands some of the struggles currently facing earthquake-ravaged Haiti. That’s why the artist has dedicated her latest exhibit, “Thrown Rocks, Building Castles: Celebrating the Art of Jacquelyn Hughes Mooney,” to the people of Haiti. The exhibit will open this weekend in downtown Greensboro’s African American Atelier Gallery. Mooney will donate 20 percent of the proceeds from any sales to the Louisiana/Haiti Sustainable Village Project, a disaster relief effort that’s dedicated to building a village in Haiti. She’s also auctioning one of her quilts, titled “Sometimes It Hurts Too Much – Haiti,” and all of the proceeds from the auction will benefit the organization. Mooney “When I heard about the earthquake in Haiti, my heart was hurting, and I was thinking, ‘My God, what can I possibly do?’” Mooney said by phone from her home in New Orleans. “So I decided to donate some proceeds to this organization, which is overseen by a Haitian doctor here in New Orleans. I chose his organization because I know that 100 percent of donations go to Haiti.” Mooney, who was Bennett College for Women’s artist-in-residence from 2004 to 2007, is a nationally recognized quilt artist, but her new exhibit will also include photography and paper collages. “Sometimes we get too comfortable or get in a rut or groove, and sometimes we have to break out of that,” Mooney said. “I decided I wanted to do something that has aided me in the last two or three years, and that’s the photography and paper collages. I’ve never shown these works before.” The exhibit’s title was inspired by a quote from actor Terrence Howard: “You can do two things when people throw rocks at you. Pick them up and throw them back, or collect those stones and build yourself a castle.” In this exhibit, as Mooney has reflected on Katrina and all the changes it brought to her life, she is visually building castles with the rocks that life has thrown at her, she said. “I think Katrina was like ‘the big Kahuna’ of all the throwing rocks,” she said. “I’ve watched my fellow citizens – people’s joys and triumphs and tribulations – as they continued to rebuild this city and rebuild their individual lives. They’re building castles, and that’s what this exhibit is about.” Mooney’s exhibit contains approximately 40 pieces, she said. “I’ve kept prices low enough that there’s something for everybody,” she said. “You might buy a photograph for $20 or a quilt for up to $700. People have said they wish they could do something to help the people of Haiti, so I wanted to make this as recession-proof as possible. This is my way of helping.”

Author recounts struggles with OCD BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

Wallburg author Larry G. Morgan will discuss his book, “Strange Life: Struggling With the Mysteries of OCD,” at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the High Point Public Library, 901 N. Main St. Copies of the book will be available after the presentation for purchase and signing. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact librarian Shelley Oglesby at 883-3646.

I

t may not be an obsession, but Larry G. Morgan has a strong desire to help individuals who are struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD. “I’ve suffered from OCD and depression almost all my life,” says the 65-year-old Wallburg man, author of “Strange Life: Struggling With the Mysteries of OCD.” “I didn’t know anything was wrong with me – I just thought life was hard and everybody had problems. Finally, it got so bad about 1988 or so that my brother talked me into going to a doctor that could help me.” That doctor, a psychiatrist, diag-

Morgan

nosed the OCD and prescribed a medication that Morgan says has made a big difference in his life. “It’s a lot better, but it’s still there,” he says. “They can arrest it, but they

can’t cure it.” Morgan, a retired educator, will share his story and sign copies of his book during a presentation Tuesday evening at the High Point Public Library. Though OCD doesn’t affect him as badly as it once did, Morgan well remembers the days when the disorder compelled him to check four or five times to make sure he had turned off the stove.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

“But my biggest problem was obsessive thoughts that would come into my mind, and I couldn’t get rid of them,” he says. “Most of them were bad thoughts.” For example, he used to obsess over cancer, convincing himself every time he got sick that he had some kind of cancer that was going to kill him. He also obsessed over tuberculosis and other diseases, as well as religion. Morgan shares his story in the book to help others. “I want it to help people who suffer from OCD,” he says. “I think it would be a big help to those who are suffering from it or think they are.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Monday, March 8, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Bob Moffatt, 26; Clint Moffatt, 26; Dave Moffatt, 26; James Van Der Beek, 33 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You will be prone to overreacting, overspending and overdoing. If you can tame your urge to take on too much, this can be a year full of opportunities. You will have plenty of ideas to share with friends, co-workers and family and, if you are willing to listen to reason, some of your ideas will bring you top rewards. Being and doing your best will lead others to join your team. Your numbers are 2, 5, 11, 22, 31, 33, 48 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Keep an open mind and share opinions with people from different walks of life. Travel will help you realize what you want to do in the future. Uncertainty will lead to inconsistency and must be kept to a minimum. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keep your eyes wide open and do what you can to help others. Your gestures of friendliness will pay off. An open-ended opportunity will lead to knowledge that will help you move forward with a plan you’ve had for a long time. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Keep your thoughts to yourself. Not everyone will be trustworthy. Don’t be fooled by insincere gestures of friendliness. Don’t lend or borrow with someone you consider to be a friend. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Do what you say and you will accomplish and make a good impression. Don’t fear being a little different; in the end, it will set you apart from the competition. Focus on advancement. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t jump too quickly or you will make a poor choice. Take your time, especially when it involves money or a contract. Romance is in the stars if you stick to socializing instead of trying to do business. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Opportunities to make some alterations are apparent but don’t trade one set of problems for another. Meddling in someone else’s life will come back to bite you. Don’t take part in something you know is wrong. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Emotional conversations will be upsetting if you take what’s said too seriously. Spending too much time with someone you work with may lead to trouble, especially if you share some of your personal thoughts or secrets. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your creative, intuitive know-how will surprise everyone, including yourself. You will open up avenues that were closed to you in the past. Network as much as you can and you will meet someone with good connections and positive ideas. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll have a hard time getting away with anything, so keep things as close to the truth as possible. Don’t exaggerate or make impossible promises. Focus on the one you love and how you can make improvements to your home, lifestyle and relationship. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Someone from your past will offer to help you with an old idea but, before you dump your responsibility on someone else, realize the job will not be done to your satisfaction or specifications. A partnership will need some new rules if it’s going to be workable. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Extend a helping hand but do so with sincerity. If you are expecting something in return, you will be disappointed. You cannot push others to do things your way. Uncertainty regarding money, a settlement or contract will cause anxiety. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t let emotional situations lead to overreacting, overdoing or overindulging. You will invite criticism and partnership problems if you are difficult to deal with. Contain your feelings; acting prematurely could lead to a ruined reputation or relationship. ★★

Human nature is such that it’s easier to react than to think. A mature player thinks first. Today’s West led the queen of hearts against four spades, and South reacted to dummy’s K-J by covering with the king. East won and shifted to a trump, and West took the Q-A and led a third trump, stopping any diamond ruffs in dummy. South then tried a club finesse with the jack for his 10th trick, but East had the queen. Down one. the defense can prevail.

TRUMP SHIFT South would be safe if he suppressed his instincts at Trick One. If dummy plays a low heart, East can’t afford to overtake with the ace for a trump shift since dummy will have an extra heart winner. When East plays low, West is helpless. If he leads a club, South can take the ace, cash the top diamonds, ruff a diamond, come to the king of clubs and ruff his last diamond. Can East-West beat four spades? It’s natural for West to react to his Q-7 of hearts by leading the queen. But if West happens to lead the seven,

ANSWER: You must respond since partner’s opening bid could conceal a good hand. He might hold A Q 7 6 2, K Q 7 3, A K 7, 3, and you’d have a chance at six hearts. But your hand isn’t strong enough to respond two hearts. Bid 1NT. If partner next bids two of a minor suit, you can show your hearts without overstating your high-card strength.

‘Alice’ opens with $116.3 million, a 3-D record NEW YORK (AP) – Tim Burton and Johnny Depp’s trip down the rabbit hole drew huge crowds, as “Alice in the Wonderland” earned a whopping $116.3 million in its opening weekend – a record for a 3-D film. The surprisingly huge total easily surpassed all other films in release and gave Walt Disney Studios

an even bigger opening than that of the hugely popular 3-D film “Avatar.” It also marked the biggest opening weekend for a non-sequel. “This is just one of those cultural phenomenons that has caught everybody’s interest,” said Chuck Viane, Disney’s president of distribution.

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.

Wake secures fifth seed BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – Wake Forest seniors Ish Smith and Chas McFarland admitted they had trouble sleeping Saturday night. They were able to rest easier when they went to bed Sunday after the Demon Deacons found enough of their midseason form to avoid a fifth straight loss by holding on for a 7065 “Senior Night” victory over Clemson. “I just wanted to get a win,” Smith said. The teams finished tied for fifth in the league at 9-7, but Wake (19-9) got the fifth seed for the ACC Tournament in a tiebreaker. The Tigers (22-8) dropped to the sixth seed and Florida State jumped to third. Clemson would have secured the third seed, with FSU fifth and Wake sixth if the Tigers had won. Wake will play No. 12 seed Miami in the tournament’s first round on Thursday at about 2:20 p.m. Deacon coach Dino Gaudio felt his team responded well after an emotional week. “It was a really good win for us,” Gaudio said. “We had our backs to the wall, coming off those losses.” Smith and McFarland admitted their Saturday night insomnia was caused by the game being their last at the Joel, combined with a four-game losing streak that had their NCAA Tournament prospects fading. “I had never been that nervous before,” McFarland said. “It was just knowing that we needed to get a win.

AP

Wake Forest’s Al-Farouq Aminu dunks during Sunday night’s ACC game against Clemson at Joel Coliseum in Winston-Salem. Aminu finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds as the Deacons prevailed 70-65. That put pressure on all of us. But that’s part of the game. If you can’t handle pressure, you can’t play.” The Deacs handled the pressure of the moment because Clemson chose to stick with its uptempo game and not play zone instead of trying to clog

Wake in the halfcourt as N.C. State, North Carolina and Florida State did in three horrible losses for the Deacons. That allowed Smith to drive the lane and either shoot or pass to AlFarouq Aminu or McFarland. The pace did wonders for Aminu, who led the Deacons with 18 points after being held scoreless on two shots on Wednesday night against the Seminoles. “I think all the losing got to me,” Aminu said. “I just came out today with a clear mind and wanted to play hard for the seniors. Everything just came naturally.” After a slow start, the Deacons took the lead for good at 13-12 with 12:26 left in the first half. They led by as many as 11 at 45-33 with 15:53 to play, but the Tigers responded by scoring seven points in less than a minute. Wake never led by more than nine after that. Clemson got with 62-60 with 2:25 left before the Deacons pushed it out to 68-60 with 1:10 to go. Smith added 17 points. Freshman guard C.J. Harris continued to work out of his shooting slump by scoring 14 points, and McFarland added 10. Tiger forward Trevor Booker was held to six points and four rebounds as the Deacons outmuscled the Tigers 44-33 on the boards. “I just tried to not let him catch it,” McFarland said. Wake also limited center Jeral Grant to eight points. Demontez Stitt led the Tigers with 18 points. Tanner Smith had 13 and David Potter contributed 11. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Busch dodges wrecks, wins at Atlanta HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) – Kurt Busch was running out front with three laps to go when things really got interesting. First, a frightening crash that seemed intentional between two feuding drivers. Then, another spinning, slamming melee before the white flag came out. “We’ve got to win this race three times, maybe even four times,” a frustrated Busch said on his radio. Not to worry. Busch survived a couple of overtime restarts and 16 extra laps to win again Sunday at Atlanta Motor Speedway, a race marred by accusations that Carl Edwards purposely wrecked Brad Keselowski’s car, sending it hurtling toward the main stands upside down. Busch won the spring race at the 1.54-mile trioval for the second year in a row, beating Matt Kenseth to the line by nearly half a second in the Kobalt Tools 500. Juan Pablo Montoya was third, followed by Kasey Kahne and Paul Menard. The race went 341 laps instead of its scheduled 325 because of two big crashes near the end. The first

one drew the most attention. Edwards, running 156 laps behind, clipped Keselowski and caused his car to spin, then lift into the air at around 190 mph. It smashed into the barrier in front of the stands roof-first, then flipped back onto the track right side up. Keselowski was OK, but NASCAR ordered Edwards to park his car and summoned him to its trailer. “That’s not cool,” Keselowski said. “He could have killed someone in the grandstands.” NASCAR put off a decision on whether to discipline Edwards until at least Monday. On the first attempt at a greenwhite-checkered finish, another crash took out seven cars coming through turns three and four. Finally, they got in two clean laps, and it was Busch all the way for his third career win in Atlanta. “You have to adjust to whatever circumstances there are to win these races,” said Busch, who claimed his 21st victory overall and snapped Jimmie Johnson’s two-race winning streak. “I felt we won the race outright today.” Keselowki and Edwards were involved in a spectacular crash

East Carolina coach Mack McCarthy will step down as coach after the Conference USA tournament to take a fundraising job in the school’s athletics department. The school announced McCarthy’s decision on Saturday, after the Pirates’ final regular-season game against Southern Mississippi. His new job will focus on helping to build an on-campus basketball practice facility. McCarthy has a 34-56 record since the 200708 season, when he spent a year as acting head coach before getting the permanent job at the end of the year. McCarthy has a 342-233 coaching record with previous stops at Virginia Commonwealth and Chattanooga, and has three years left on a five-year deal. East Carolina is 10-20 this season.

Brad Keselowski (12) flips after being nudged by Carl Edwards during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Kobalt Tools 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Ga., on Sunday. racing for the win at Talladega last year. Edwards’ car flew up toward the stands, ripping out the fencing, and Keselowski sped on by for the victory. Early in the Atlanta race, more trouble between those two. Keselowski nicked Edwards coming through the turn, which sent him crashing into Joey Logano. Edwards spent much of the day in the garage, but returned to take out his frustration in what ap-

peared to be an intentional tap on Keselowski coming across the start-finish line. Johnson, the four-time defending Sprint Cup champion, was coming off wins at California and Las Vegas. He climbed into contention again, getting as high as third, but a bad pit stop and a scrape with Ryan Newman cost Johnson a chance to become the first driver since 2007 to make it three in a row. He finished 12th.

HIT AND RUN t’s hard to believe this year marks the 40th anniversary of N.C. State’s stunning run to the 1970 ACC Tournament title in Charlotte. High Point’s Vann Willford earned tournament-MVP honors in leading the third-seeded Wolfpack to the crown. State shocked top-seeded and nationally third-ranked South Carolina 42-39 in double overtime in one of the most memorable finals in league history. Williford scored 18 points in the championship game to help the Wolfpack rally from an

11-point first-half deficit to take the crown. In the semifinals, Williford poured in 25 points as the Wolfpack nipped seventh-seeded Virginia 67-66. Williford started his ACC Tournament with a bang, netting 30 points in a 67-57 victory over sixth-seeded Maryland. In addition to Williford’s stellar play, that tournament is remembered as the first of three captured by Wolfpack coach Norm Sloan. It also served as a prelude to two of State’s most glorious seasons ever. In 1973, Sloan’s

Wolfpack finished 27-0 and stormed to the ACC Tournament title. State was on probation that year, so the season ended with the ACC crown. The Wolfpack, of course, took ACC regular season, ACC Tournament and national championship honors in 1974. David Thompson, Monte Towe, Tom Burleson and company went 30-1 that year. But a magical weekend in Charlotte in 1970 offered a great appetizer to that main course.

Competitors begin race to Nome

WILLOW, Alaska (AP) — The festivities are over, and the serious competition began Sunday in the 1,100-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Under sunny skies, the drivers of 71 dog teams took off from frozen Willow Lake to begin the race to the old gold rush town of Nome on Alaska’s western coast. Lingering was the carnival atmosphere of Saturday’s 11-mile ceremonial start in Alaska’s largest city, Anchorage, 50 miles to the south. But mushers were focused on racing for real with their 16-dog teams. Three-time champion Lance Mackey of Fairbanks is seeking his fourth consecutive win, and is among five past Iditarod winners in the race. For the first time in Iditarod history, mushers will be tested for drugs and alcohol along the trail. Anyone testing positive would face disqualification.

Panther baseball rolls to sixth straight win SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

Duke’s Jasmine Thomas waves to fans as she cuts the net after the Blue Devils defeated N.C. State 70-60 in the ACC Women’s Tournament title game on Sunday in Greensboro. Thomas scored 18 points in the final and earned tournament-MVP honors.

Duke’s women take ACC tourney crown GREENSBORO (AP) – The final buzzer sounded, and Duke’s Joy Cheek flung the ball toward the ceiling before locking fellow seniors Keturah Jackson and Bridgette Mitchell in a long, lasting hug. Whoop it up, ladies. You’ve finally got an Atlantic Coast Conference tournament title. No. 9 Duke captured its first ACC championship since 2004 by beating N.C. State 70-60 on Sunday behind 18 points from tournament MVP Jasmine Thomas. Karima Christmas added 13 points for the Blue Devils (27-5), who forced 23 turnovers and outrebounded the Wolfpack 46-32 in claiming their sixth ACC title and first since winning five in a row from 2000-04. “To have the opportunity to be here again, after having lost those three years, it was just now or never,� Mitchell said. For these Blue Devils’ seniors, their final game in Greensboro came with some fitting symmetry. They were freshmen in 2007 when Duke was undefeated, ranked No. 1 nationally and rolling toward an inevitable title when they were upset in the semifinals by an N.C. State team inspired by coach Kay Yow’s feelgood midseason return. Duke made it to the championship in each of the three years that followed

under coach Joanne P. McCallie, but the Blue Devils were stopped by powerful No. 1 seeds in both 2008 and ’09. This time, the No. 1 seed belonged to them – and they took full advantage. “We had this goal in mind, because three of us have seen us go to the ACC tournament championship and come up short,� Cheek said. “The balloons and the streamers, we had to watch them fall down for someone else. And so we didn’t want to have to see that happen again. It was an embarrassing feeling, and we just didn’t want to feel like that again.� Nikitta Gartrell had 19 points to lead the sixth-seeded Wolfpack (20-13). They were denied in their bid to become the first team to win four games in four days here and were out for their third upset of a ranked team in eight days. “I’m extremely proud of our team for so many reasons,� first-year coach Kellie Harper said. “But in that locker room ... I was proud of them for wanting more. They’re hurt that they didn’t win this game, and I am so proud of that.� Cheek had 11 points while Thomas, who averaged 16 points in the tournament, added six rebounds and six assists. Duke took the lead for good by reeling off 14 consecutive points during a 23-7 run midway through the first half, went up by 18 with about 81⠄2 minutes remaining and refused to allow N.C. State to complete a comeback.

Serbia beats U.S. 3-1 in Davis Cup BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) – The Davis Cup run for the United States is over in the first round. Novak Djokovic withstood 24 aces and outlasted John Isner 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 6-7(6), 6-4 on Sunday, giving Serbia a clinching 3-1 lead against an American team looking for its 33rd Davis Cup title. In the last rubber, Sam Querrey beat Viktor Troicki 7-5, 6-2 to make the final score 3-2. It’s the first time since 2005 the Americans were eliminated in the first

round, while Serbia advances for the first time in the World Group and next plays bitter Balkan rival Croatia in the quarterfinals. Djokovic, ranked No. 2, needed 4 hours and 16 minutes to outlast the 20thranked Isner, who was making his Davis Cup debut. The U.S. team played without both Andy Roddick and James Blake for the first time since 2000. In other first-round matches, two-time de-

fending champion Spain defeated Switzerland 4-1. The Spaniards advanced to the July quarterfinals against France, which beat Germany 4-1. Russia defeated India 3-2 and will meet Argentina, a 3-2 winner over Sweden. Croatia swept Ecuador 5-0 and the Czech Republic downed Belgium 4-1 and will play either Chile or Israel. Chile was leading their tie 2-0 after the match was pushed back a day because of the earthquake.

HIGH POINT – The High Point University baseball team clobbered Towson 15-4 on Sunday, completing the sweep of the Tigers and securing HPU’s sixth straight win. It is the longest winning streak for High Point since joining Division I in 1999. The Panthers improved to 7-2, their best start in Division 1 history. “Today is a great indication of the maturity of this team,� said head coach Craig Cozart. “We let the game come to us offensively and we were very opportunistic at the plate. We put the game out of reach in the middle innings. Jared Avidon didn’t have his best stuff but he battled for five innings and found a way to get outs. The difference for us in this game was hitting in RBI situations and it allowed us to get the sweep. I am very proud of the way the guys are playing, but we have to keep it going.� It is the first time since 2005 the Panthers have completed two series sweeps in a season and the first time in the Division I era that HPU has scored 10 or

more runs in five consecutive games. Avidon picked up his first win of the season, giving up two runs, one earned, on six hits with one strikeout through five innings. HPU took command with four runs in the third and broke the game open with seven runs in the sixth. Panther freshman Steven Schils came in for the ninth inning, making his first collegiate appearance. He pitched a hitless inning, allowing one base runner with a walk but he was erased on a double play to end the game. Murray White IV extended his hitting streak to a career-long nine games with a single in the seventh inning. He is the only Panther to get a hit in all nine games this season. Kyle Mahoney raised his batting average to .500 for the season, going 4-5 on the afternoon with five RBIs and two runs scored. Steve Antolik had a 3-4 day at the plate and scored two runs. High Point will host Richmond on Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday’s game will start at 6 p.m.

Hurricanes’ Legace shuts out Thrashers ATLANTA (AP) – Manny Legace made 27 saves for Carolina’s first shutout of the season, and Jussi Jokinen had a goal and an assist in the Hurricanes’ 4-0 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers on Sunday night. Legace improved to 9-5-2 with his 24th NHL shutout and first since

April 5, 2008, for St. Louis against Columbus. Carolina has won eight of nine overall. After losing its first 13 road games of the season, Carolina has won five of its last seven away from home. Jokinen scored on a power play to make it 4-0 with 5:57 remaining. He has 15 goals in his last 19

games and 26 overall this season. Brandon Sutter scored his 17th goal late in the first period on the power play, Joni Pitkanen scored late in the second, and Rod Brind’Amour made it 3-0 early in third. Ondrej Pavelec made 29 saves for Atlanta.

Villegas cruises to five-stroke Honda win THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – Camilo Villegas was checking his phone constantly on the driving range, barely bothering to hit any balls and instead seeking updates on how his brother was doing at a Nationwide Tour event in their native Colombia. As Villegas showed all week, practice can be overrated. Villegas shot a 2-under 68 on Sunday for a five-stroke victory in the Honda Classic, his third PGA Tour victory. He finished at 13-under 267, the lowest 72-hole score since the tournament moved to PGA National in 2007, four shots better than Y.E. Yang’s winning total a year ago. Anthony Kim (67) was second at 8 under, Justin Rose (64) was another stroke back,

and Paul Casey (67) and Vijay Singh (72) followed at 6 under.

Duke senior Jon Scheyer reaches to hug coach Mike Krzyzewski near the end of the Blue Devils’ 82-50 win over North Carolina late Saturday night in Durham. Scheyer finished with 20 points and seven assists in his final game at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Duke savors record rout DURHAM (AP) – Jon Scheyer stood near midcourt after his home finale at Duke. As he soaked it all in, he couldn’t help but crack a wry smile. “I was just trying to remember that moment, that picture in my head,” Scheyer said. Nobody else affiliated with the fourth-ranked Blue Devils will forget this night, either. Not after an 82-50 rout of North Carolina on Saturday that marked their most one-sided home win in college basketball’s fiercest rivalry and gave them a share of their 12th Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season title. Kyle Singler scored 19 of his 25 points in the decisive first half, and Scheyer finished with 20 points in his final game before the Cameron Crazies. Duke (26-5, 13-3) shot nearly 46 percent – 51 percent in a dominant first half – and made eight 3pointers in beating the Tar Heels at home for the first time since 2005 and wrapping up the No. 1 seed in next week’s league tournament. Freshman John Henson matched a season high with 14 points for the Tar Heels (16-15, 5-11), who had their lowest point total under coach Roy Williams and absorbed their worst loss in seven years.

Nolan Smith scored 20 points and Brian Zoubek continued his late-season surge with 13 rebounds for the Blue Devils, who took command with an early 31-8 run, led by 30 in the first half and showed no mercy in polishing off their first sweep of North Carolina since 2004. “You never go into a game thinking you’re going to blow somebody out by 30,” Scheyer said. “But once we get a lead like that, we really want to have a killer instinct and put them away. I thought we never let off the gas.” In some ways, this result was like so many others here this season. In setting a school record by finishing 17-0 at Cameron, Duke won all but one home game by double figures, and it entered with an average margin of victory here of 26 points. Just as they’ve done all year, the Blue Devils pounced early and never let up on their overmatched visitor, no matter who that opponent was. But of course, for the Blue Devils, this one meant so much more – especially after the Tar Heels won their last four visits. North Carolina is the only visiting team in three full years to beat Mike Krzyzewski on the court that bears his nickname.

HPU men set to return solid nucleus BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – From a numbers standpoint, the High Point University men’s basketball team won’t be hurt greatly by graduation. That doesn’t mean head coach Scott Cherry doesn’t have important holes to fill for the 2010-11 campaign. HPU returns its leading scorer and All-Big South first-team selection Nick Barbour, power forward Corey Law, point guards Tehran Cox and Jarius Simms and key reserves David Campbell, David Singleton and Earnest Bridges. “We’ve got a good nucleus coming back,” Cherry said. Who HPU doesn’t have coming back is its school record-holder in blocked shots and the leading rebounder for the past two seasons, 6-11 Cruz Daniels, plus its No. 2 two scorer, wing player Eugene Harris – the school record-holder for 3-point baskets. “I wish I had them for another year,” Cherry said. Cherry believesthree prep players committed to play for HPU beginning next season can help fill the voids. On the wing, Cherry has added 6-3 guard Justin Cheek, who helped Charlotte Ardrey Kell get to the NCHSAA 4A West regional semifinals.

Vote cast their ballots Saturday in Reykjavik, Iceland, on the referendum to use of taxpayers’ money to pay $5.3 billion in compensation to Britain and the Netherlands for deposits lost in a collapsed Icelandic bank.

Iceland voters say ‘no’ to bank deal REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) – Icelanders blew whistles and set off fireworks in the capital as referendum results Sunday showed they had resoundingly rejected a $5.3 billion plan to repay Britain and the Netherlands for debts spawned by the collapse of an Icelandic bank. Voters in the tiny Atlantic island nation defied both their parliament and international pressure to display their anger at how their nation was being treated. “This is a strong ’No’ from the Icelandic nation,” said Magnus Arni Skulason, cofounder of a group opposed to the deal. “The Icelandic public understands that we are sovereign and we have to be treated like a sovereign nation – not being bullied like the British and the Dutch have been doing.” Despite the vote, all three governments

promised to work on a new agreement between Britain, the Netherlands and Iceland, which is depending on international assistance to help drag itself out of an economic morass. “It is not a matter of days or a few weeks, but it is important that we do it as quickly as possible,” said Icelandic Finance Minister Steingrimur J. Sigfusson. The Dutch Finance Ministry said it and Britain were committed to finding a solution, and British Treasury chief Alistair Darling said his country was prepared to be flexible about repayment terms. Britain and the Netherlands want to be reimbursed for money they paid their citizens with deposits in Icesave, an Internet bank that collapsed in 2008, along with most of Iceland’s banking sector. Most ordinary

Icelanders feel the repayment schedule was too onerous. More than 93 percent of voters said “no” in Saturday’s ballot, while only 1.8 percent voted “yes,” according to official results. The rest were blank or spoiled ballots. The results were based on a count of all but 2,500 of the 143,784 votes cast. Bad weather delayed ballot boxes from remote northern areas from reaching the capital, Reykjavik. The overwhelming margin reflected Icelanders’ simmering anger at bankers and politicians as the country struggles to recover from a financial meltdown. President Olafur R. Grimsson – who sparked the referendum by refusing to sign the repayment deal agreed by Iceland’s parliament – said Icelanders resented having to pay for the actions of a few “greedy bankers.”

Link between dollar, stocks dissolves NEW YORK (AP) – The relationship between the dollar and stocks that helped define last year’s stock market rally is over. Last summer and fall, stocks generally rose on days when the dollar fell, and vice versa. The dollar had been pushed lower by recordlow interest rates and other measures from the Federal Reserve to boost the economy. The weak dollar was a boon for the stock market as investors were eager to get money out of low-yielding U.S. dollars and put them to work just about anywhere else, such as stocks. The currency’s weakness also was good for large U.S. companies

while the country was still mired in recession. For companies that rely heavily on exports, their earnings translate into

stock market are going their own ways. The dollar is regaining ground against other currencies partly because of concerns about debt burdens in Greece, Spain, Portugal and Ireland, which could undermine Europe’s shared currency, the euro. Investors tend to put money into dollars in times of trouble for other currencies. “The Greek problems were a mad dash back to the dollar as a place of safety,” said Barry James, president and portfolio more dollars when they manager at James Investbring their revenues ment Research. “When home if the dollar is weak the world gets nervous, it against other currencies. runs back to the dollar.” At the same time, the Now, the dollar and the

U.S. economy is showing more signs of promise. That has helped lift the dollar against other currencies as investors anticipate that U.S. interest rates could soon rise above their historic lows. But instead of falling in response, stocks are rising too, as a better U.S. economy also provides more reasons for people to put their money into equities as hopes improve for corporate earnings. Fourth-quarter earnings have largely beat expectations, and companies won’t have to rely so heavily on foreign sales for growth now that the U.S. economy is rebounding.

NEW YORK (AP) – Cablevision subscribers were scrambling Sunday to hook up antennas or find live TV on the Internet in order to watch the Academy Awards after ABC’s parent company Walt Disney Co. switched off its signal in a dispute over fees. The standoff affected 3.1 million subscribers to Cablevision Systems Corp. in parts of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. In dueling statements, the companies traded blame for the stalemate ahead of one of the mostwatched nights of television. It was the first time in a decade that a major broadcast station went dark in a dispute with a cable company. “Cablevision has once again betrayed its subscribers,” said Disney spokeswoman Charissa Gilmore. “Cablevision pocketed almost $8 billion last year, and now customers aren’t getting what they pay for ... again.” Cablevision said the stall in negotiations should be blamed on Disney CEO Bob Iger. “It is now painfully clear to millions of New York area households that Disney CEO Bob Iger will hold his own ABC viewers hostage in order to extract $40 million in new fees from Cablevision,” said Charles Schueler, a Cablevision executive vice president. ABC said Sunday afternoon that it had sent Cablevision a new proposal and was awaiting a response. “The ball is in their court,” said WABC-TV general manager Rebecca Campbell. No details on the new proposal were provided.

Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou, in Paris as part of a four-city tour seeking firmer

DILBERT

EU and U.S. support for new austerity measures to rein in its massive budget gap, received from Sarkozy the most outspoken support for his plans yet. The French leader, coveting the chance to play the statesman with regional French elections to begin next Sunday, issued a warning to traders who would bet against the euro zone’s will-

ingness to defend a member state. And in a show of highstakes poker with speculators, he purposely didn’t detail what measures the bloc might take. Papandreou’s government has committed to a severe austerity plan to reduce Greece’s massive 12.7 percent budget deficit, and has warned that going to the International Monetary

Fund is an option if a European solution is not found. “The Greek government ... took the measures asked of it. Euro zone states must now be ready to take theirs,” Sarkozy told a news conference alongside Papandreou at the French presidential palace. “Of course, the future of Greece is in question, but it’s also that of

Europe being played out,” Sarkozy said. “Europeans have created a common currency – all the countries that share this currency must show solidarity.” Sarkozy, who along with German Chancellor Angela Merkel is seeking to calm markets and bring down Greece’s high borrowing costs, didn’t spell out any specific ideas.
