GOP candidates make pitches BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – For two sets of candidates appearing before voters Monday night, the election D-Day isn’t eight months from now. It’s seven weeks from now in the Republican primary. A candidates forum at High Point City Hall drew the four Republicans running in the 61st State House District and the two Republicans in Guilford County Board of Commissioners District 2. Since no Democrats have filed in either race, the Republican winners in the pair of races May 4 are all but assured of taking the

seat. And both seats will be open, since Rep. Laura Wiley, R-Guilford, and Republican Commissioner Steve Arnold are retiring after this year. Gerald Grubb, a real estate businessman from High Point, said he’d make the best representative in the 61st District because he’ll listen to constituents and genuinely reflect their concerns. “There’s a hunger for people to be listened to,” Grubb said. Jamestown Town Councilwoman Georgia Nixon-Roney said her experience as an attorney, small business owner and mother gives her a unique perspective to serve in the state House.

“I wear many hats that give me insight on many different levels,” she said. High Point City Councilman John Faircloth, a former city police chief, said becoming a state legislator would represent the next step in his public service. “I would make sure local concerns are heard in Raleigh,” he said. Businessman and charter school co-founder Paul Norcross of High Point said he would “walk the talk” of a true Republican in the House. He would abide by the principles of President Ronald Reagan, promoting hard work and entrepreneurship.

In the District 2 discussion, High Point City Councilman Bill Bencini said his 10 years of experience with local government and service on regional boards make him a qualified candidate for commissioner. Bencini said he would promote efficiency in government and more collaboration. Local Republican Myrene Stanley, making her first bid for public office, said she’s not a politician, but a wife, mother and Army veteran. “I share the same frustrations of many people,” she said. Also speaking at the forum were three Republicans seeking the

United Way misses goal, still thankful BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The United Way of Greater High Point may not have reached its goal for its 2009 campaign, but the organization’s officials decided to count their blessings in a strapped economy rather than focusing on losses. Eight children from the Boys and Girls Club at Southside Recreation Center each raised a poster with a large number on it to reveal the United Way had collected $4,336,572

for its 2009 campaign, just short of its $4,500,000 goal. Last year, the organization exceeded its $4,500,000 goal and finished the 2008 campaign at $4,526,000. Bobby Smith, president of the United Way of Greater High Point, said the organization had prepared for a much larger decline this year due to the economic climate and was thankful for the $4.3 million raised. “What I wasn’t prepared for is exactly how well we ended,” Smith told The High Point Enterprise.

“For the longest time, I wasn’t sure we were going to hit $4 million. To be able to report better than that is a blessing to our community.” The city of High Point remained the campaign’s single largest employee campaign, with employee contributions totaling $283,389 – a 9 percent increase from last year. There also were 61 members of the Alexis de Tocqueville Society, or members who donated $10,000 or more to the campaign, in 2009.

Smith said 2009 was one of the most difficult fundraising years he had seen in his 27-year career with United Ways across the state. Leah Price, 2009 campaign chair, said it was important to focus on what the organization had accomplished in the last year instead of focusing on its losses. “When we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but to focus on what is abundant, we experience a little piece of heaven,” she said. “I want

to thank you from the bottom of my heart.” The organization will divide the money between its 29 partner agencies, and the 2010 campaign will kick off this summer. It also was announced that Randy Brodd with Dixon Hughes will lead the 2010 campaign, and Greg York with Vann York Auto Group and Tim Ilderton with Ilderton Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep will lead the 2011 and 2012 campaigns, respectively. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Pedro Silva’s vision for the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival’s immediate future seems rosy and to fit comfortably with plans for use of a contribution by Jim and Debbie Millis. Shakespeare Festival leaders are gearing up for a spring kickoff of the final campaign to raise $1.5 million, which includes retiring the $950,000 debt still owed on its facilities. The goal also includes increasing the company’s cash reserves, making investments and broadening its outreach education program.

through innovation and creativity. At the same time, the city of High Point is changing drastically, Silva said, and he foresees the NCSF and all city arts groups playing a major part in the city’s future. “We’ve got to let the arts achieve for this community in a way we’ve never done before. The community is so different from what it used to be. While I don’t know answers, I’m convinced the arts plays a key point in our future,” Silva said. “We are bullish on our service to the community that has been and will always be our home.” Other plans include revival of the Family Theatre program begun in 2007 and expanding youth programs at NCSF’s Spirit Center headquarters. vknopfler@hpe.com | 888-3601

Googe said the company is eyeing a piece of property, and he hopes to have an announcement from the company within the next 30 days. Thomasville residents Barney Hill and Earl Harrison also spoke in favor of the project. No one spoke in opposition to City Council awarding the package to Project 3C. “It would give our community an opportunity to be able to put some of the unemployed back to work in the city of Thomasville,” Harrison said. “I’m in agreement with it as long as it would be advertised properly to get the word out to the community and give everyone a chance to get an opportunity to put an application in.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

A federal lawsuit filed last year accused prison officials of destroying a 310-page handwritten manuscript that author Victor L.

Suspect in Plouff killing told police he fired shots in the air his trial in Forsyth Superior Court on a charge of first-degree murder in the shooting of Plouff, who later died of his gunshot wounds. Detective Sean Flynn, one of the officers who interviewed Carter, testified this morning that Carter initially said that he was not at the nightclub when the shooting happened, that he had not fired a gun and that his girlfriend picked him up there before the fighting began that night. Carter’s story then changed, and he admitted being inside the Red Rooster when the fighting began, Flynn said. Carter also told Flynn that he went out to his car, got his gun, then opened a glove compartment and took out a clip, loading the gun.

In statements to police played before a Forsyth County jury this morning, Keith Carter said that he only fired five to six shots in the air and never aimed his gun at any police officer in the early morning of Feb. 23, 2007. “I don’t believe I did it,� Carter said in the recorded statement. “If I did I’m sorry for the officer and I’m praying for the family.� Carter made the statement on Feb. 27, 2007, four days after Winston-Salem police Sgt. Howard Plouff was shot outside the Red Rooster nightclub on Jonestown Road during a melee. Carter is in the second week of

After the shooting, Carter told police that he left the Red Rooster and that he threw the gun out of the car onto U.S. 421. The police never found the gun, however. Rather, they later recovered it from Carter’s uncle. Plouff had gone to the Red Rooster to assist off-duty officers and sheriff’s deputies. He was shot in the neck as he walked among the crowd. David Freedman, Carter’s attorney, unsuccessfully sought to suppress the statements, arguing that Carter was not read his Miranda rights and was made to feel that he could not leave the police station even though he was not under arrest.

School board is in denial on student behavior In the March 1 edition of the Enterprise, Guilford County Board of Education Vice Chairman Amos Quick, in a discussion on student behavior, is quoted as saying, “Now we Tase some students and arrest some. What’s next? The National Guard is still available. ... What we are doing does not work.” Surely he did not mean to imply we should stop doing everything we can to protect our children. Sticking our heads in the sand and denying we have a serious problem leaves large parts dangerously exposed and vulnerable. According to a Jan. 22 report to the Board of Education, we have 20,946 secondary school students. Not every one of them is completely sweet and innocent 24/7. Assuming they are should get Quick into serious trouble. The State Bureau of Investigation reported the 2008 Index Crime Rate for Guilford County was 5,942 per 100,000 in population. (That same rate was 17,961 per 100,000 for the City of Greensboro and 6,825 per 100,000 for High Point.) Why wouldn’t that same index apply to the high school population? 5.942 percent of 20,946 students is 1,245. Rape on campus is not acceptable. Nor is it permissible for students to take off from school to commit armed robbery and shoot the storekeeper as happened on Skeet Club Road last November. We should have fewer or unarmed school resource officers? If members of the Board of Education accepted the facts of life, did their jobs and allowed school administrators to suspend or expel the 1,245 “bad apples” every year, the good 94 percent

Thomasville City Council must stop punishing businesses When I ran for Thomasville mayor last year, I made several statements about our city. One of those statements was that, in visiting businesses, I found the main concern was the city’s unfriendly atmosphere toward businesses and all the ordinances levied against them. I was told on numerous occasions that businesses would not come to Thomasville due to the uncooperative actions of the elected officials. These are not my words but those who are trying to do business here. Thomasville’s mayor and City Council members told the people they would do everything in their power to lure new businesses to Thomasville. They also told us they knew it would take more businesses to create new jobs.

t least some good has come from the rock slide that closed Interstate 40 in both directions at milemarker 3 in Haywood County Oct. 25. At that time, the North Carolina Department of Transportation estimated it would take three months to get the highway open again. Of course that was before 25 inches of snow and 17 inches of rain fell in that area of the state in December, during which work not only was slowed but was discontinued for some time. Then, in late January, another slide dumped what DOT claimed was the equivalent of 50 dump truck loads onto I-40 at milemaker 6.5, covering an area 40 feet long and 50 feet wide. The latest estimate is that the stretch of highway could reopen in April. While all of that is distressing, to say the least, the slide site has become a “classroom” for dozens of college students from western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. McClatchy-Tribune News Service reports that geology and environmental sciences students from Western Carolina University, University of North Carolina at Asheville and East Tennessee State University are getting closeup looks at the site, explanations of what caused the slide and the challenges workers face in cleaning the roadway and stabilizing the remaining rock face, by installing hundreds of rock bolts on the slope. That’s one field trip that should provide exceptional teaching opportunities and plenty of fodder for students’ resumes.

Well, in hindsight, which is how it seems everyone is planning the future of our city and country, it looks like some of our residents voted the wrong people into office. The City Council, in all its wisdom and broken promises, is now considering levying another tax on the businesses in Thomasville of $50. Citizens who have not done their homework should please do it now. Each time we punish businesses for being here, the council keeps jobs away. I advise them that next time, residents should know what they are voting for – and who will help in meeting that goal. Remember, if there are no businesses, we the citizens must pay all the taxes. I urge residents to call City Council members and tell them to vote no on this tax, and let us at least keep the jobs we have. TERRY HILL Thomasville

Writer misuses science to try to make God a liar This is in reference to a recent letter to the editor that says science proves that gay lifestyle

is normal (Cris Elkins, Feb. 26, “Writers misuse Bible to condemn gay people”). I am sorry, but it seems to me that the writer is misusing science to try to make a liar out of God. God says that He has magnified His word above all His name, Psalm 138:2. Therefore, if he will not hold anyone guiltless for using His name in vain, how much more for misusing His word! Everyone will stand before God one day and He will open the Bible and judge them by what is written in it. If we have believed His word and have accepted His sacrifice for our sin, we will live with Him forever. If we haven’t read His word (testimony about Himself) we will suffer forever. So we better know what it says. The writer says that 40 years of scientific study proves that homosexuality is normal. The Bible says in I Timothy 6:20 that science is against the word of God. The first chapter of Romans explains God’s opinion of unnatural affections and what causes it. All sin comes from the heart. When we are born again God gives us a new heart. Then we can know Him and His word. The Bible reveals Jesus to us. He is in every book of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. He is our sin bearer. TOBY BRADY Denton

What do you think of President Obama’s new proposals for health care reform? Will they pass muster in Congress? In 30 words or less (no name, address required), e-mail us your thoughts to letterbox@hpe. com. Here is one response: • I think someone should interview government workers and ask them what kind of plan they like and incorporate their ideas into the plan.

medical services with cash, it has cost them as much as 50 percent more than paying via an insurance claim, because of the income and payroll taxes applied to cash but not to insurance premiums. In the absence of this distorOPINION tion, it is highly likely that health insurance would look John more like other forms of insurHood ance. ■■■ Individuals and families would own their own policies. They would pay reasonable premiums, often fixed for multi-year terms, and most would file insurance claims only rarely, after being in a serious accident or developing a major illness. That’s the direction employers and individuals are moving now, thanks to the proliferation of consumer-driven health plans that combine high-deductible insurance

The Left needs villains to make fictional account of health care inflation seem plausible. policies with tax-free savings accounts. The John Locke Foundation decided years ago to offer two such plans to our employees, and we have experienced virtually no premium increase over the past two years. We don’t hate our health insurer. As consumer-driven health care continues to grow, other Americans may change their perceptions of health insurers, too. That’s one reason why the Left must destroy consumerdriven health care and impose governmentrun health care soon, before they run out of villains to bash.

YOUR VIEW POLL

Poll numbers tell Obama to cast insurers as villains f you want to know why President Obama, leaders of the Democratic Congress, and their allies are trying to sell their health care program by bashing insurance companies, you need only to look at a few numbers. But I don’t mean the numbers on health care spending, inflation, or profitability. Those figures show that the vast majority of the dollars spent on health care go to providers – to doctors, hospitals, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals – rather than to insurers for their overhead and return to shareholders. The profit margin in health insurance is low, typically 4 percent or less. Blue Cross & Blue Shield of North Carolina, that boogeyman of the state’s liberal imagination, posted a net margin of just over 2 percent last year. So the fact that Blue Cross is planning double-digit increases in its premiums next year does not identify the culprit. It just identifies the problem. The numbers that really matter to Obama & Co. are the results of polls. Consistently, they show that voters generally like medical providers and generally don’t like health insurers. That’s why the latter are being targeted. The Left needs villains to make their fictional account of health care inflation seem plausible. You can see the problem by taking a look at a 2009 Gallup poll. Asked about names or groups whose health-care reform recommendations they had confidence in, 73 percent of respondents expressed confidence in doctors and 61 percent said the same about hospitals. Even drug companies (40 percent) got a higher rating than health insurers (35 percent). What health insurers can do to improve their public image is a question beyond the scope of this column or my expertise. But policymakers could do something, if they were so inclined. The existing health insurance industry is the creation of government interference in the market. For decades, for example, if people bought

Israelis, Palestinians to begin indirect talks JERUSALEM – Israel and the Palestinians agreed to begin indirect, American-brokered talks, the U.S. Mideast envoy announced Monday – ending a 14-month deadlock in peacemaking and representing the Obama administration’s first substantive diplomatic achievement here. The announcement, however, came just hours after Israel enraged Palestinians by announcing new West Bank settlement construction on the same day U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden landed in the region.

Hundreds killed in Nigeria religious violence DOGO NAHAWA, Nigeria – The killers showed no mercy: They didn’t spare women and children, or even a 4-day-old baby, from their machetes. On Monday, Nigerian women wailed as a dump truck carried dozens of bodies past burned-out homes toward a mass grave. Rubber-gloved workers pulled ever-smaller bodies from the dump truck and tossed them into the mass grave. At least 200 people, most of them Christians, were slaughtered on Sunday, according to residents.

American al-Qaida suspect not group’s spokesman ISLAMABAD – Pakistani officials reversed course Monday on a recently captured American suspected of being a member of al-Qaida, saying the man is not the terror network’s U.S.-born spokesman, as they initially believed. The man arrested in the southern city of Karachi was first identified as al-Qaida spokesman Adam Gadahn. Pakistani intelligence officials instead identified him as Abu Yahya Majadin Adam, a name similar to one listed on the FBI’s Web site as an alias for Gadahn.

Deadly quakes are coincidence, scientists say LONDON – Experts say there is nothing unusual about the latest spate of earthquakes in Haiti, Chile and now Turkey, but their devastation illustrates how growing construction along the world’s fault lines can lead to massive casualties. Seismologists say that although one powerful quake can conceivably raise the risk for others elsewhere, the recent string of quakes is probably just coincidence. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

The damage appeared worst in the Kurdish village of Okcular, which was almost razed.

Panicked survivors fled into the narrow streets of this village perched on a hill in front of snow-covered mountains, with some people climbing out of windows to escape. “I tried to get out of the door but it wouldn’t open. I came out of the window and started helping my neighbors,� Ali Riza Ferhat of Okcular told a TV station.

Summer travel, other economic factors usher in gas price hike

Phoebe ButlerAjibade recently completed training at the National Academy for Higher Education and School Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-Division of Adolescent and Schools in Atlanta. Butler-Ajibade is an associate professor in the Department of Human Performance and Leisure Studies at North Carolina A&T State University.

HIGH POINT – The gas price increase that’s taking place at the pump matters to Justin Kirk, who fixed up his son’s 1995 Honda Civic to drive so he could afford such increases. “I didn’t go anywhere at all last year (on vacation),” said Kirk, who pumped gas into the car at the RaceWay on S. Main Street Monday. “I fixed my son’s car up, so I could try to deal with the prices.” AAA Carolina officials said a spike in oil prices that began at the same time last year may be taking place at the pump due to economic conditions similar to 2009 and an anticipation for the summer travel season. Prices rose from $1.89 on March 3, 2008, to $2.56 on June 20, 2008. The Triad price per gallon has risen 5 cents from last week to $2.72 on Monday, also up 9 cents from a month ago, reflecting the start of another price hike into the summer. “Conditions are not dramatically different from last year, so we can expect a rise in gas prices in upcoming weeks,” said AAA Carolinas President David E. Parsons in a statement. “North Carolina motorists should be prepared for gasoline prices to climb upward significantly as we approach the summer travel season.” In 2009, a positive outlook in global demand for oil in China, the world’s second largest consumer of oil in the world, also worked to push those prices up, according to AAA. This year, a new practice by oil refineries to completely shut down operations as they perform maintenance and shift to summer blends of gasoline may push prices up this month, said Brendan Byrnes, public relations manager for AAA Carolinas. Byrnes said prices would increase about 5 cents a week in March. In April and May, that increase will drop to about 3 to 4 cents a week, he said. According to those calculations, $3-per-gallon gas could return by June. “It certainly isn’t out of the question,” he said. “We’re only 30 cents away from $3 a gallon now, so it likely will be around $3 a gallon in the summer.” For Kirk, that means he’ll be taking a vacation closer to home – if he takes one at all this year. “I probably won’t go as far away as I usually go,” he said. “Prices are at their tipping point for me right now. Beyond that, it would just be too much.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

The project would bring 40 jobs and over $1 million in investment, Ragsdale said. Several neighbors are expected to oppose the rezoning during a planning board meeting. Moving the cabin has been another discussed option. Town Council could have the final say on the project. The Potter House was constructed in 1819 and was originally Henry Humphries’

Edward Clark Wilson

“Since 1895”

HIGH POINT – Edward Clark Wilson of River Landing at Sandy Ridge died on March 5, 2010. Clark was born in High Point on April 8, 1924 to Lyndon Floyd Wilson and Martha Draughon Wilson. Clark was the youngest of three brothers. His brothers, now deceased, were Lyndon Floyd Wilson, Jr. and Robert Draughon Wilson. All three boys attended the High Point public schools and graduated from Guilford College. Clark’s Guilford College education was interrupted by his service in the Army during World War II. Clark was on the front line during the Battle of the Bulge. After the war, Clark studied at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, before returning to Guilford College. At Guilford, he played football and was elected student body president. Clark graduated in 1947 with a degree in Economics. In April, 1948, Clark met Jeanette Ouren. Jeanette had moved to Greensboro after graduating from the University of Minnesota and serving in the Red Cross in Japan, the Philippines, and Korea. Clark and Jeanette were married on May 14, 1949. They celebrated sixty years of marriage in May, 2009. Clark and Jeanette have three children, six grandchildren, and two great grandchildren. Their children are Patricia Wilson Sams (husband, William Fred Sams), of High Point; Edward Clark (Butch) Wilson, Jr. (wife, Terri Wilson), of High Point; and Marsha Wilson McCrory, (husband, Philip Walter McCrory), of Charlotte. Clark loved spending time at Holden Beach with his six grandchildren: Edward Clark (Chuck) Wilson III, Laura Sams Wansley, Kristin Sams Crowe, Philip Wilson McCrory, Christopher Scott McCrory, and Mary Nicholson (Molly)

McCrory. He took great joy in the close relationship that they share. The two great grandchildren are Elizabeth Hardin Wansley and John David Wansley III. Clark was a sales representative for Ampac Hardboard, which merged with Georgia Pacific Corporation. He was a lifetime member of High Point Friends Meeting and an active North Carolina Quaker. Clark served as clerk of High Point Friends Meeting as well as Deep River Quarterly Meeting, and held several North Carolina Yearly Meeting positions. Clark served on the boards of Earlham School of Religion, Friends Committee on National Legislation, Guilford College Friends of the Library and the High Point Mental Health Association, as well as Quaker Lake Camp and Conference Center, Friends World Committee for Consultation, Friends Homes, and the American Friends Service Committee. He volunteered with Cities in Schools and the Furniture Discovery Center. Civic club memberships included Kiwanis, Jaycees, and Toastmasters. Clark sang tenor in the choir at High Point Friends Meeting. There was nothing more important to Clark than the welfare of his family. One of the most beautiful gifts of his lifetime was the love, devotion, and care he gave to his wife, Jeanette. There will be a memorial service for Clark in the multi-purpose room at River Landing on Saturday, March 13th, at 4:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to High Point Friends Meeting at 800 Quaker Lane, High Point, NC 27262 or to Quaker Lake Camp and Conference Center, 1503 E NC 62 Highway, Climax, NC 27233.

RNC chief visits NC to unveil ad GREENSBORO (AP) – Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele on Monday unveiled fundraising ads that he said would help the GOP speak directly to sympathetic voters in targeted local markets and attract disaffected Democrats and independents. Steele, who stopped in Greensboro to roll out the commercial, said Democratic leaders are running roughshod over what Americans want in their government. He said Democrats have made things worse for Americans with their efforts at a health care overhaul and improving the economy, but they won’t work in a bipartisan method as President Barack Obama said he would when he took office.

“This is an effort for us to communicate directly to the people of this community ... to take out the filter of the national media and the noise that comes with that,� Steele told about 100 Republicans at a news conference. “I hear the same thing from people over and over again, ’They’re not listening to me. They don’t care.�’ The ad will run for three weeks on Fox News Channel stations in High Point, Cincinnati, Tulsa, Okla., Oklahoma City and West Palm Beach, Fla., where Steele visited earlier Monday. It directs viewers to a new Web site or to call a number to make donations to the RNC’s voter education and get-out-the-vote efforts in the midterm elections.

Dear Keeping It Real: I told “Yoo-Hoo� that from her description, her husband’s behavior seemed obsessive, that it showed a lack of sensitivity to her feelings and I recommended marriage counseling. Responses from my readers were varied. Read on: Dear Abby: In marriage we promise to love and cherish our wives. That is not what “YooHoo’s� husband is doing. It is disrespectful to her, his supposed one and only, and to the women he is ogling. When a man stares at another woman, it is not just looking. He is fantasizing about her. And sometimes it doesn’t stop there. – Tom in Half

Moon Bay, Calif. Dear Abby: I have been happily married for ADVICE 18 years, we have four Dear children, Abby and I can ■■■attest that all men do NOT do that. My husband isn’t blind to a beautiful woman, but he is respectful of my feelings and has enough self-respect to not openly drool over any women in my presence. Unfortunately, we do know “Yoo-Hoo’s� husband’s type. We have seen “men� like him gawking open-mouthed at the teenage girls wearing tight jeans at school. We have also made careful note of who they are and who their children are. If an invitation comes for one of our girls to visit their kids at their house, the answer is always NO. “Yoo-Hoo’s� husband has a problem. The sooner she realizes it, the better. – Watchful Mom in Butler, Pa. Dear Abby: You said that if “Yoo-Hoo’s� husband were 20 years younger, his behavior would be chalked up to “boys will be boys.� Boys of all ages can be respectful of women – the ones they’re dating or are married to, and the ones who do not want to be ogled by strangers. Appreciating attractive people without being creepy is something people of all ages and both genders are capable of. Please don’t perpetuate this stereo-

ear Abby: Regarding your answer to “Yoo-Hoo, I’m Over Here!� (Jan. 10), who was bothered by her husband’s constant leering at women, you’ve got to be kidding. Men have been looking at young women since the beginning of time. My husband and his friends hold “office hours� every morning at our neighborhood coffeehouse. I’ve told him as long as he “touches� only with his eyes, there won’t be a problem. My husband and his pals are not “creepy old men.� They are leaders in our community – doing what they can to make the world a better place, while enjoying the scenery. There must be something terribly wrong with “Yoo-Hoo’s� marriage if she’s contemplating divorce because of this. – Keeping It Real in Tampa

type. – Brooke in Hilliard, Ohio Dear Abby: The way she describes her husband’s behavior with women sounds like he may have a sexual addiction. If so, he is powerless over his behavior and will do anything to justify his addiction. It’s a waste of time asking him to change unless he goes into recovery for it. Other signs of this addiction are affairs, frequenting bars, using Internet chat rooms and looking at porn. – Knows From Experience Dear Abby: I wonder how that man would feel if he caught someone his age leering at HIS daughter? Maybe then he would think twice about what he is doing. – Divorced in Kansas City Dear Abby: Women look, too. I look! I think it’s healthy to be aware of the people around you. But that doesn’t mean we have to be obvious about it – certainly not so obvious that we are inconsiderate of the people we are with. That said, the other side of the coin is: Did he act like this when they were dating? Did she know what she was getting when she married him? As they say, a leopard doesn’t change its spots. – Irene in San Antonio DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Planning can prevent injuries

CLUB CALENDAR

W

hether you are a first-time runner or a seasoned veteran, planning to run a mile or a marathon, a weekend warrior or dedicated to daily exercise, these tips may help prevent injuries while accomplishing goals. Preventing running injuries is easier if you warm up, cool down, stretch and follow an appropriate training program. Find the appropriate shoes. Selection should be based on the surface on which you will run, your feet and running style. A physical therapist can analyze your feet, lower extremity mechanics and gait pattern to help you know what to buy. Next, it is important to structure training to prevent overuse injuries. We all want to improve and increase mileage, but it is essential to do so safely to avoid being sidelined with an injury. A good guideline is to increase mileage by no more than five to 10 percent each week. Every two to three weeks take a recovery week during which you decrease mileage between 25 to 30 percent, thus avoiding stress that causes injury. Do not be afraid to cut back training or rest completely if you are feeling tired or feel an injury. A short decrease in training is much better than an injury. Now get out the door or on the treadmill. Here is where the warm-up, cool-down and stretching program come in. A physical therapist can help develop a stretching program matched to your needs to assist with injury prevention. Walk or jog slowly until you start to break a sweat, then stop to complete stretches. The warmup increases circulation to the muscles and prepares them for stretching. At the end of your run, slow down and walk for five minutes, then stretch again. Stretching after a run will prevent stiffness and soreness the next day. Using ice packs or an ice bath also will decrease post-workout soreness and speed recovery. These guidelines will help you prepare for a happy and healthy running season.

Can heartburn lead to cancer?

GARFIELD

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I was diagnosed a year ago with Barrett’s esophagus with no dysplasia. I tried taking a generic version of Nexium, but it did not help at all. A second doctor advised me not to take drugs, since they didn’t help. I tried more than one. I do plan to get regular endoscopies. I have been living in fear for the past year. Is Barrett’s a death sentence for me? Am I at great risk for cancer of the esophagus? – L.R.

BLONDIE

In some people, the eruption of stomach acid into the esophagus – heartburn or, more formally, GERD, gastroesophageal reflux disease – transforms lining cells in the lower part of the esophagus into cells that resemble cells that line the colon. That is Barrett’s esophagus. About 10 million Americans suffer from GERD. Around 1 million of these people eventually will develop the changes of Barrett’s. People with Barrett’s are at greater risk of developing esophageal cancer, but the risk is small. However small the chance, all stops are pulled out to detect cancer changes. That is accomplished by following your doctor’s schedule for scope exams of the esophagus. “Dysplasia” indicates changes that are progressing to cancer. You have no dysplasia, and that’s a great plus for you. Standard treatment of Barrett’s is taking medicine that greatly

decreases production of stomach acid. Drugs called proton pump inhibitors are the HEALTH most powerful supDr. Paul pressors Donohue of stom■■■ ach acid. Nexium is one of those drugs. Even with treatment, cancer is not always prevented. Surveillance with scope exams is necessary for all with these changes. Barrett’s isn’t a death sentence for you, even if you cannot tolerate medicine treatment. Other medicines can ease the symptoms of heartburn, medicines unrelated to proton pump inhibitors. Zantac is an example. Whether they influence the development of cancer hasn’t been proven. Dear Dr. Donohue: Several years ago, I read that dark beer prevents colon cancer. Since then, I’ve been drinking Guinness, one of the darkest I know of. I drink two bottles a week. Recently I read an article that said any type of beer could cause many types of cancer. Is there any truth to either? – J.M. Sources I trust don’t endorse beer as a preventive against colon cancer. They say that having more than two beers a day for men and one for women heightens the risk of colon cancer somewhat. Two beers a week isn’t a threat.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I am a 65-year-old male who has experienced anxiety and panic attacks most of my life. I take Paxil daily for it. Most of the time, I do not have attacks. In times of crisis, traveling, etc., they rear their ugly head. My wife and I are retired and would love to travel, but even the thought of traveling brings them on. Are there any new medicines or treatments? – Anon. Panic attacks are periods when a person is overwhelmed with dread of something that poses no real threat. Breathing and heartbeat speed up. Sweat breaks out. The person trembles and feels death is on the doorstep. Partly, the attacks are biologically caused. Some deficiency in the production of brain messenger chemicals makes a person vulnerable to them. You could try a medicine different from Paxil, or you could add a medicine that calms anxiety. Xanax and Klonopin are examples. You use them in anticipation of an attack. You’d be wise to seek counseling with a therapist. Cognitive behavior therapy aims to teach you how to recognize the lack of threat in situations that you perceive as provoking panic. Such treatment isn’t long term. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Obama pitches health plan in spirited appearance GLENSIDE, Pa.

It’s AP Mike Fitzpatrick (right,) Pennsylvania’s 8th congressional district candidate, speaks within our grasp,� the to Tea Party protesters outside Arcadia University before President Obama’s arrival. president implored his

audience at Arcadia University, the first outsidethe-Beltway appearance since he vowed last week to do everything in his power to push his health care plan into law. The president’s pitch was part denunciation of insurance companies – “they continue to ration care on the basis of who’s sick and who’s healthy,� he said – and part criticism of his Republican critics. “You had 10 years.

happened? What were you doing?� he taunted members of a party that held the White House for eight years and control of Congress for a dozen. The outcome could affect almost every American, changing the ways they receive and pay for health care.

Garden was created in a bombed-out crater in front of Westminster Cathedral during World War II.

Where have all the flowers gone? Soldiers at war turn to gardens for peace of mind BY DEAN FOSDICK FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

G

ardening can be comforting – even therapeutic – for troops trying to shake the stresses of war. There’s a long history of soldiers growing plants in the extreme conditions of a war zone. “Trench Gardens” produced needed food as well as healing diversion for soldiers mired in the muck on both sides of the Western Front in World War I. American prisoners of war cultivated “barbed-wire gardens” to augment starvation rations and provide some mental escape during World War II. Most recently, such “defiant gardens” have cropped up at isolated combat outposts in Iraq and Afghanistan, much as they did around GI Quonset huts in the Vietnam of four decades ago. “Such gardens stand not in harmony with but in opposition to their locations, asserting their presence,” writes Kenneth Helphand, a professor of landscape architecture at the University of Oregon, in his “Defiant Gardens: Making Gardens in Wartime” (Trinity University Press, 2006). “In extreme conditions, where the most extreme is war, death is all around,” Helphand

http://defiantgardens.com adds in an interview. “A garden then takes on meaning that goes well beyond our daily lives.” Defiant gardening often isn’t about food at all, Helphand says. Motivations vary, he said, but fall into five general areas: • Hope: “Planting is an optimistic act,” Helphand says. “You put a seed into the ground in anticipation it will grow. It takes time, attention and maintenance. There’s a miraculous aspect. Hope is embodied in all that.” • Life: “Gardens are alive. They provide a connection with nature and life’s forces.” • Home: “Gardens either are part of or an extension of home, or places where we’ve lived or would like to be.” • Work: “It’s something to do. The garden often is part of a person’s identity and culture.” • Beauty: “Gardens are beautiful, and in a time of crisis that beauty is accentuated,” Helphand says. “They’re often strikingly dramatic when done in devastated areas.” Gardening meant “coming back down to Earth” for Bill Beardall, who was a Marine Corps helicopter pilot in Vietnam in 1970. Beardall flew H-53s, big cargo machines capable of carrying large payloads. That made them large targets, too. “The longer we stayed in-country, the more hyper we got,” says Beardall, now director of Grounds Management and Fleet Services at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. “Our big helicopters drew a lot of fire,

took a lot of hits. It was always time to shut down after a tough day and there were lots of tough days. The garden did a lot for me. I’d go back to my hooch and just sit and stare at it.” Justin Wanzek was with a North Dakota National Guard unit deployed near Tikrit, northwest of Baghdad, in 2004. He started gardening with a buddy in Iraq because it reminded him of his farming roots near Valley City, N.D. “Coming from North Dakota, everybody likes to stay busy, even when off-duty,” Wanzek says. “We were always planting or digging irrigation ditches by hand. Our garden was nothing big, but it reminded me of what once was and what someday would be again.” And then there was the late John Creech, a World War II infantry officer who survived

several German prisoner of war camps to become director of the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington in the 1970s. He jokingly introduced himself to Helphand as “the only soldier ever awarded a medal for gardening.” There was more to it than that, of course: After being moved to a camp in Poland that had an unused greenhouse, Creech talked his captors into letting him operate it for raising edibles. His “barbed-wire garden” supplemented a moldy bread and watered-down-soup diet for 1,500 fellow prisoners. It also earned him a Bronze Star for merit, which he was said to have valued more than the Silver Star won earlier for gallantry in action. “All such gardens were an assertive action, not a retreat,” Helphand says. “Some gardens were attacks. There was a certain defiance about them.”

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Not getting enough sleep does more damage than just leaving you with puffy eyes. It can cause fat to accumulate around your organs. A new study by researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine reveals how extremes of sleep – too much and too little – can be hazardous to your health, especially for young minority women, a group most affected by obesity and chronic metabolic disease. The findings also indicate that there’s more to “fat” than what we choose to eat – social factors such as the need to work three jobs in a bad economy – could be causing dangerous fat deposition around organs. In individuals under 40, the study showed a clear association between averaging five hours or less of sleep each night and large increases in fat around organs. Of the study participants under 40, Hispanic men and black women were the largest groups to report getting such little sleep. Short sleep has become more common in the United States, and minorities are disproportionately affected, said Dr. Kristen Hairston, lead author on the study. They are also more prone to metabolic conditions, including increased rates of obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The researchers also found that averaging more than eight hours of sleep has a similar – though less pronounced – affect and is a problem most commonly seen in Hispanic women of all ages. The connection between extremes of sleep and accumulation of visceral fat was seen only in patients under 40, Hairston said.

Tuesday, March 9, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Bow Wow, 23; Emmanuel Lewis, 39; Juliette Binoche, 46; Mickey Gilley, 74 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: This is a great year to look at your options and find the best course of action. Professional gains are possible if you take the necessary actions. Added discipline and a broader outlook will contribute to your success and lead you to a challenge that can turn into something spectacular. Your numbers are 9, 13, 18, 20, 25, 31, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Shake off anyone’s attempt to make you feel bad. An emotional response will only give the person you are at odds with the upper hand. If you are professional and do your job to the best of your ability, you will get ahead. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Think big, follow your heart and don’t be afraid of what others may think or say. In the end, you will win the support you need and enhance your reputation. Don’t be distracted by someone’s jealousy. ★★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t be too sure of yourself. A problem with love, money and a job you are working on will make it difficult to meet your deadline. You’ll be moving fast but, in doing so, you will make unnecessary mistakes. Empty promises are apparent. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t let emotional troubles hinder your personal judgment or your professional goals. You are likely to take things the wrong way or give the wrong impression. Once you make a transition, everything will get back to normal. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You will be enthusiastic about your plans and will talk boldly about the things you want to do. A trip will not be without problems but it will bring you in contact with someone or something that inspires you. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You need to interact with people who will spark your enthusiasm and your creative drive. Someone you meet along the way will interest you in a partnership that can complete your life personally or professionally. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Put any troubles you face behind you and get out with friends. You can’t change what’s going on at home, so avoid getting into deep discussions that will only make matters worse. Solutions can be found if you distance yourself. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Make alterations to your personal life and your living arrangements. A residential move will give you a new lease on life and help you to revive some of your old ideas. A long-time partnership will benefit from changes you make. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Nothing will be easy to resolve, especially if you are having difficulty getting along with others. Promises you may not have fulfilled will come back to haunt you. Changing your vocation will not rid you of the problem you are facing. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Give more time to the people and things you enjoy most. You deserve a break and the opportunity to fulfill your dreams. A creative idea you have will be shared with someone who can turn it into a masterpiece. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You have to face any problems directly. As soon as you try to skirt issues or ignore the facts, someone who is watching will confront you with questions. A change at home may be daunting but will turn out OK. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t waste time when it comes to financial or personal matters. Be ready to take advantage of anything that leads to a good partnership or financial gain. Love is in the stars and the chance to bring greater stability and security to your life is evident. ★★★★

Unlucky Louie had visited the track, where his luck is no better than his luck at bridge. “I bet on a horse at 20 to 1,” Louie growled. “How’d he do?” “He finished at 2:15.” Louie tried to recoup at today’s slam. He took the ace of hearts and, seeking ruffs in dummy, cashed the top clubs, ruffed a club, returned a heart to his king and led his last club. When West followed, Louie discarded dummy’s last heart instead of ruffing. But West led a third heart, and when dummy ruffed with the nine, East overruffed.

BETTER ODDS Louie’s play required friendly breaks. Could he get better odds? If West had the A-K of diamonds, he would have led a high diamond. Louie can win the first heart in his hand, draw trumps ending in dummy and lead the queen of diamonds, pitching a heart. West wins and leads another heart, and Louie takes the ace and leads another diamond, ruffing East’s king. Louie then takes the top clubs, ruffs a club and discards two losers on the good diamonds.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 8 H Q J 10 8 D A 7 5 2 C J 9 6 5. Your partner opens one spade, you respond 1NT and he bids two diamonds. What do you say? ANSWER: If partner had bid two hearts, you would raise to three hearts, trying for the 10trick game. But though he may have extra strength, game at diamonds or notrump is too far away to make an aggressive move. At a diamond contract, your heart honors and jack of clubs may be useless. Pass North dealer

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.

Bishop enjoys unexpected rewards BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

KERNERSVILLE – The four state championships won by his teams the last four years have been special for various reasons. Different players, different scenarios, different emotions along the way. That being said, Brian Robinson still managed to call Saturday’s victory over Mitchell – in a mere regional title game, of all things – the most rewarding during his tenure with the Bishop McGuinness girls basketball team. “Next Saturday,” Robinson then added with a smile, “then we’ll see. But I think a lot was not expected of this year’s group.” And yet, here they are again,

shooting for a fifth straight N.C. High School Athletic Association 1A championship. The Villains (22-7) will meet the Williamston Tigers (29-0) at noon Saturday at the Smith Center in Chapel Hill. A season of uncertainty, thanks to the graduation of three top performers and the transfer of a fourth, opened in atypical fashion. Bishop suddenly was struggling to beat some of the 1A teams it had dominated in the past, and then – the unthinkable. A loss to Mount Airy to snap the Villains’ four-year unbeaten streak in the Northwest Conference. Three more league losses would follow, leaving Bishop at 74 just past the midway point of the conference campaign. “From that point on we played

our best basketball of the season,” Robinson said. “I can’t say how many times this team has surprised me this year. Every time I thought we were down for the count, they’ve bounced back. It says a lot for their character and the leadership on the team, especially Megan and Erin.” That would be Erin Fitzgerald, as in one of two seniors on the roster and the only senior who saw regular playing time in the past. And Megan Buckland, the lone junior for a Villains team filled out with seven sophomores and a freshman. Both played well in the regionals to help Bishop complete a five-game run through the playoffs without facing an overly stern test. Fitzgerald powered for three key inside baskets in the 68-48 win

over Mitchell and stepped outside for a 3 as well. Buckland drained 5 of 7 long-range shots – the team went 10-for-17 – and finished with 28 points and 11 rebounds to garner MVP honors. Together, with plenty of help from those youngsters, they have Bishop back where it’s used to being. “I tried to always be confident in my team, even when we lost our first conference game,” Buckland said. “I think that took a lot of pressure off some people. We’ve been able to relax a little more after that point, begin to play the way we play. We have believed in ourselves from the beginning and been confident in ourselves.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Panthers release fullback Hoover BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

CHARLOTTE – Brad Hoover wanted to end his career as a Carolina Panther on his own terms. The former Ledford High star won’t get that chance. Hoover, 33, was cut Monday by the only team for which he has played after 11 seasons and with one-year remaining on his contract. Hoover, the team’s starting fullback since 2002 and a fan favorite, was due a base salary of $860,000 and soon would Hoover have received a $100,000 roster bonus. Only kicker John Kasay, the lone player to remain with the team since its start, had a longer tenure. Hoover’s departure leaves just Kasay, punter John Baker and wide receiver Steve Smith as the only over30 members. “Carolina’s all I’ve ever known. Being my hometown team – it’s tough. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little upset,” Hoover was quoted on the team’s website. “It’s tough, but in this business, you realize that most of the time you don’t get to go out on your own terms. That’s probably the toughest pill to swallow. Naturally, if I were to write the story, I would have loved to have played the last year of this contract and retire as a Panther. As of right now, the future is up in the air.” Hoover signed with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent running back out of Western Carolina in 2000. He switched from tailback to fullback in 2001 and became the starter the next season. Primarily a blocking back, Hoover’s stats were not eye-popping. He rushed for 961 yards on 284 carries and scored three touchdowns over the 11 seasons. He also caught 145 passes for 1,046 yards and six TDs. He was plagued by injuries last season, missing five games because a combination of back and ankle troubles. He rushed 20 times for 52 yards and scored 1 TD and caught 4 passes for 23 yards. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Flames engulf HPU women SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

LYNCHBURG, Va. – The High Point University women’s basketball team dropped its final game of the regular season, falling 73-48 to Liberty on Monday night. Junior Frances Fields and sophomore Shamia Brown each scored nine points to lead HPU. Devon Brown finished with a game-high 23 points for the Flames, who improve to 24-5 overall and 14-

2 in the Big South, clinching the No. 2 seed in the conference tournament. High Point finishes the regular season with a 1613 overall record and a 9-7 record in the Big South. The Panthers will be the No. 3 seed in the Big South tournament which begins Friday. HPU will play No. 6 Winthrop at 7:30 p.m. on Friday in the Millis Center. It will be the last of four first-round games played at the Millis Center that day.

Former T.W. Andrews star Kellen Brand picked an opportune time to establish a career milestine. Brand scored a career-high 37 points as Appalachian State routed College of Charleston 77-54 late Sunday night in the semifinals of the Southern Conference tournament. The victory moved the Mountaineers (22-11) into Monday’s late title game against Wofford in a showdown of the league’s two regular-season divisional champs. Appalachian State has won six straight and 10 of its past 11. Brand, a 6-foot1 senior who came into the game averaging 10.9 points, was 14-for-19 from the field and 5-for-6 from 3-point range. He scored 15 in the first half as the Mountaineers pulled out to a 40-24 halftime lead. Andrew Goudelock scored 19 points for the Cougars (21-11).

Duke senior guard Jon Scheyer (30) was one of three players to earn unanimous firstteam All-ACC honors on Monday. Maryland’s Greivis Vasquez and Virginia Tech’s Malcolm Delaney also garnered that honor.

Vasquez, Scheyer, Delaney lead All-ACC first team RALEIGH (AP) – Maryland’s Greivis Vasquez, Duke’s Jon Scheyer and Virginia Tech’s Malcolm Delaney – the top three scorers in the Atlantic Coast Conference – are unanimous All-ACC picks. Vasquez, Scheyer and Delaney were first-team selections on all 53 votes in ballots cast by members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association. Clemson’s Trevor Booker and Duke’s Kyle Singler rounded out the first team in results released Monday. The Blue Devils, who earned the top seed in this week’s tournament, also had

a second-team pick in high-scoring guard Nolan Smith, making them the only program with three players selected to the 15-player squad. Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and Florida State each had two players selected to the three teams, while North Carolina failed to have a player earn all-conference honors for the first time in league history. Wake’s Al-Farouq Aminu led the second team, while senior teammate Ishmael Smith also earned second-team honors. Rounding out the second team were Smith and Virginia’s Sylven Landesberg.

HIT AND RUN he 1990 ACC Tournament in Charlotte featured at least two firsts, and I grant you that one of the firsts was a whole lot more significant than the other. That ‘90 tournament marked the first ACC Tournament I had the privilege of covering as a staff member of The High Point Enterprise. Much, much, much more importantly, it turned out to be the first – and to date the only – time the championship game did not include at least one team from the Big Four. It was the first time Charlotte had hosted the ACC Tournament in 20 years, and that

WHO’S NEWS

quarterfinal Friday atmosphere was electric – Clemson knocked off Wake Forest 79-70, Virginia stunned North Carolina 92-85 in overtime, Duke clubbed Maryland 104-84 and Georgia Tech bounced N.C. State 76-67. Semifinal Saturday saw Virginia slip past Clemson 69-66 and Georgia Tech oust Duke 83-72. The joint was rocking that day, too. But like the Big Four, I wasn’t there for the final. My good friend and colleague Tom Berry, rest his soul, anchored our coverage of the Yellow Jackets’ 70-61 victory over the Cavs that Sunday. Tom often told me that ACC Tournament

final was unlike any of the nearly 30 he saw as a fan or sports writer. While the crowd was large, Tom reported the Charlotte Coliseum lacked the usual buzz surrounding an ACC final. I’m not trying to be a Big Four homer, but it did seem strange to see an ACC Tournament championship game without UNC, Duke, N.C. State or Wake. The ACC went its first 36 years without such a final. I wonder if we’ll go another 36 years before it happens again.

Guilford men set to host sectionals GREENSBORO – Guilford College has been selected as a one of four hosts of the sectional round of the 2010 NCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Tournament. For the first time in school history, the Quakers will host three games Friday (3/12) and Saturday (3/13) in the Ragan-Brown Sectional play opens Friday at 6 p.m. when Eastern Mennonite University (244) plays Whitworth University (26-2). Guilford (28-2) meets the College of Wooster (25-5) at 8 p.m. Friday‘s winners play in Saturday’s sectional final at 7:00 p.m. Tickets cost $7, $4 for children, seniors and students and will be on sale on Guilford’s campus in 101 Alumni Gym starting today at 9 a.m. Pre-game sales end Thursday at noon. Any remaining tickets will sold Friday at the door. The Quakers (28-2), champions of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference, reached the sectional round of the national playoffs for the third time in four years after weekend home victories over Christopher Newport University (83-59) and John Carroll University (85-82). Guilford is ranked third in the current D3hoops. com Top 25 Poll and has won nine games since losing to Eastern Mennonite at home Feb. 10. The Quakers placed third in the 2009 NCAA Division III Tournament. Williams College, the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and St. Mary’s College of Maryland are the other three sectional hosts. Each section champion advances to the national semifinals and finals, which will be held March 19-20 in Salem, Va.

Old Dominion wins CAA tourney RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Darius James scored 12 points and Kent Basemore had 10 as top-seeded Old Dominion beat William & Mary 60-53 in the Colonial Athletic Association tournament championship Monday night to earn the league’s automatic berth in the NCAA tournament. Old Dominion (26-8) won the league’s guaranteed bid for the first time since 2005, and may have ended William & Mary’s hopes of qualifying for the tournament for the first time. William & Mary (22-10) is one of five original Division I schools, along with Army, The Citadel, Northwestern and St. Francis, N.Y., never to have been included in an NCAA field. William & Mary is coached by High Point’s Tony Shaver. Danny Sumner led William & Mary with 19 points, but the Monarchs extended their defense to hamper the Tribe’s 3-point shooting. The Tribe, making its second championship appearance — both in the past three years — was just 9 for 31 on 3-pointers.

GTCC baseball splits four The GTCC Titans baseball team bounced back from a difficult and disappointing Saturday doubleheader sweep by USC-Sumter to win both ends of the doubleheader on Sunday. The Titans improve to 8-5 on the season and 3-5 in Region X play. Game 1 saw the Fire Ants take advantage of 6 Titan errors and bury GTCC by the score of 11-1. Tim Dezearn pitched well for the Titans, striking out 7 over 4 2/3 innings, but poor Titan defense led to 7 unearned runs and eventually the loss. Game 2 was a back and forth ordeal that saw the Titans rally for 4 runs in the 5th inning to knot the score at 4. USC-Sumter answered with a grand slam home run in the bottom of the 6th to take the lead 8-4. The Titans rallied to load the bases in the top of the 7th with no outs, but could only manage 1 run. The Fire Ants completed the first day sweep by beating the Titans in Game 2 by the score of 8-5. Titan pitcher Dalton Shuford was dominating in Game 3 on Sunday, as he went the distance to pick up the complete game win for GTCC by the score of 4-1. Shuford struck out 7 in 7 innings of work and allowed only 3 hits. Jordan Covington had 2 hits and an RBI for the Titans and Abe Fernandez drove in 2 runs as well. Game 4 was another dominating pitching performance by a Titan pitcher. This time, Titan starter Alex Britt went the distance to pick up the complete game win for GTCC by a score of 5-2. Britt scattered 8 hits over 7 innings and struck out 4. Patrick Koontz had 2 hits to lead the Titan offense. The Titans host Wilkes Community College today at War Memorial Stadium at 1 p.m.. They will travel to Wake Tech Community College on Wednesday, before hosting Region X foe USC-Salkehatchie in a 4-game Region X series to be played at Finch Field in Thomasville on Saturday and Sunday.

The Panthers will attempt to win their first team title of the season today in the second and final day of the event.

Wake finds beauty in key win W

ake Forest’s victory over Clemson on Sunday night wasn’t beauty-queen perfect nor was it Witch Hazel ugly. However it looked, the triumph that ended a four-game skid was good enough to send the Deacons into this week’s ACC Tournament thinking better about themselves. “This gives us some confidence going into the tournament, here’s not question,” head coach Dino Gaudio said. “We did some things well. It’s always better to go into the next game off a win. It’s good to go in with a bit of momentum.” The momentum includes finishing 9-7 in the conference instead of 8-8 after an 8-3 start. It includes outscrapping a good team for the fifth seed in Thursday’s first round. The Deacons will play No. 12 Miami around 2:30 that day. Clemson wound up with the sixth seed and will play N.C. State around 9:30. “This gets us out of the tunnel,” senior guard Ish Smith said. What the Deacons did best is resemble the team that beat Gonzaga in December and Xavier and Maryland in January, not the one that folded against Virginia Tech, then struggled against N.C, State, North Carolina and Florida State. They were able to get back into their offense that centers around Smith driving into the lane. They benefitted from C.J. Harris and Al-Farouq Aminu coming out of scoring slumps, with sophomore Aminu scoring 18 points and freshman Harris connecting for 17, three of them coming on a Hail Mary shot to avoid a shot-clock violation in the second half. “Some of the younger guys came in and knocked down shots,” senior center Chas McFarland said. “We weren’t making shots in the four games we lost. Any win in this conference is a big win.” Aminu said he came out more determined. Harris, who came off the bench for the second straight game, credited his resurgence to more practice.

57TH ANNUAL ACC TOURNAMENT

---

AT GREENSBORO COLISEUM

Gaudio said he maintained confidence in Harris. “He’s bounced back,” Gaudio said. “He bounced back in the second half at Florida State and SPORTS here. That bodes well going into GreensGreer boro.” Smith But the flaws were ■■■ obvious. Wake shot just over 42 percent, better than its struggles against Sate and Carolina, but suffered from Aminu and Smith missing shots in transition. They committed 18 turnovers, two short of the 20 at Florida State. “We were scratching our heads and wracking our brains trying to see what we could do to get a win,” senior L. D. Williams said. “We gutted it out. It wasn’t a pretty game. But we did what we needed to do to get the win. And when you get wins like that, it helps your confidence.” The sloppiness included 10 firsthalf turnovers that included five by Smith while the play of both teams at times looked as if it were on the rec-league level. Some of Smith’s miscues were ugly as he tried to drive through the defense or tried to force passes into traffic. And on a couple of fast breaks, while not turning the ball over, he kicked out to the wing instead of taking the ball to the basket. “They were bad turnovers,” Smith said. “There were turnovers where I should have passed ahead instead of trying to dribble through everybody trying to show off my ball-handling. They were senseless turnovers.” In the second half, he had just one but it the worst of the night as he dribbled the ball off his leg as a kid on a playground wound do. “That was just so elementary,” Smith said. Even with the rocky ending to the regular season, Gaudio declared satisfaction with the 9-7

league record in the wake of the defection of Jeff Teague and James Johnson to the NBA after last season while thinking back to the last-place 3-13 record in the 2005-06 season after Chris Paul left for the pros. “You know, when Chris Paul left, we had four seniors the next year,” Gaudio said. “They were all really good players and we struggled that year. We couldn’t replace CP. This time, we lose two guys who were first-round draft picks. And we lost a senior who was a great locker room guy in Harvey Hale. We come into this season wondering if the seniors are going to step up. Finishing 9-7 in this league, I’m proud of those guys.” The victory also helped shore up the Deacons’ prospects of making the NCAA Tournament. Before the losing streak, Wake was in great shape. The win moved the Deacons from 39th to 31st in the RPI index the NCAA uses to choose teams. Teams with RPIS of around 30 or better are rarely passed over by the tournament selection committee. Gaudio declined to speculate if improving to 19-9 had increased the Deacons’ chances of being selected on Sunday. “I don’t know,” Gaudio said. “Right now, we have to try to win the next game which is Miami.. I know this, our nonconference schedule was very very difficult. We had some good wins against good teams and there is a lot of basketball to be played yet.” Smith wasn’t as evasive, knowing Wake was running out of second and third and fourth chances. “This helps our resume,” Smith said. “People keep saying we’re in but we couldn’t keep losing and get in. We needed to win this game against a really good team against Clemson.” That was part of the relief the Deacons felt on Sunday. Now comes the pressure starting Thursday. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Seniors pinched by new home care charges WATERBURY, Conn. (AP) – Rising property taxes, failing eyesight and even a tumble that cracked her tailbone haven’t forced 89-yearold Angeline DiBeneditto from the home she’s had for more than six decades. Now, though, changes in a Connecticut program that helps her and others live independently could push her toward a nursing home after all if she can’t scrounge at least $180 more from her monthly budget. DiBeneditto, who’s lived on the same block for 87 of her 89 years, said that if it appears she’ll need to move to a nursing home rather than continue living independently, “I would ask the dear Lord to go ahead and take me.”

Fed launches reverse repurchase program NEW YORK – The Federal Reserve said Monday it will make more financial institutions eligible for a program to drain some of the unprecedented liquidity it added to markets during the credit crisis. The move is intended to make the program, under which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York temporarily sells some of its securities, more effective. The New York Fed said that domestic money market mutual funds with net assets of $20 billion are eligible for the transactions, known as “reverse repurchase agreements.”

Clinton: Greece hasn’t asked US for aid WASHINGTON – The United States says Greece is not looking for any specific help from Washington in solving its financial crisis. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke Monday after she discussed the crisis with Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou. Papandreou says Greece is exploring ways within the European Union of improving Greece’s borrowing prospects. Clinton said: “Neither the prime minister nor Greece has asked the United States for anything.”

UK agency probes Kraft-Cadbury deal LONDON – Campaigners to save British jobs at Cadbury have made a complaint to regulators that Kraft Inc. misled employees during its takeover of the chocolate maker after it backtracked on plans to keep a factory open. Amoree Radford, who led a campaign to preserve the Keynsham factory in Somerdale, western England, said she had lodged an official protest with the Takeover Panel. “We know we can’t get the jobs back, but we want the authorities to learn their lessons so it doesn’t happen to another company later,” Radford told the BBC. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

As states struggle with red ink, more seniors like DiBeneditto face new fees or lengthy waiting lists for in-home services like meal

State officials say the fees and waiting lists keep the programs from being eliminated. deliveries, personal care assistants and visiting nurses. Officials in many states say the fees and waiting lists, while difficult, are necessary to preserve the

home care programs from elimination altogether. In Connecticut, more than 5,100 clients of its Home Care for Elders Program now pay 15 percent of their services’ costs. Advocates for the elderly say many can’t afford it, and state figures show 275 people have dropped out of the program since the charges went into effect Jan. 1. In Florida, Gov. Charlie Crist wants the current $7.9 million preserved for its state-funded program serving 3,700 clients – but that depends on the Florida Legislature, which sets the budget in its new session. Nationally, the average yearly cost of nursing home care is $75,190, according to the AARP.

AirTran loses more than $5 million ATLANTA (AP) – Discount carrier AirTran Airways saw $5 million to $6 million of revenue evaporate because of the winter storms that pounded parts of the country since the beginning of the year. Chief Financial Officer Arne Haak provided the figures to investors at a conference Monday in Orlando, Fla., where the airline is based. He said AirTran, which has a hub in Atlanta, canceled over 1,400 flights over an eight-to10-week period. That is more than it canceled over an 11-month period last year. Haak said AirTran’s first-quarter capacity will be up only 6 percent, a lower projection than the 7 percent to 8 per-

cent increase the airline had been expecting. The quarter ends March 31. For the year, however, he reiterated AirTran’s plans to grow capacity 3 percent to 4 percent. Other major airlines also were hit hard by the storms, which largely affected the Northeast, mid-Atlantic and parts of the South. US Airways and Continental Airlines have said the storms cost them a combined $55 million in lost revenue. Other airlines, including the U.S.’ two biggest, Delta Air Lines and American Airlines, haven’t released figures yet, though executives from both carriers are scheduled to speak at a Tuesday investor conference. Haak said at the Ray-

Toyota disputes critic who blames auto electronics WASHINGTON (AP) – Toyota gave detailed evidence Monday that it says disproves claims that electronics may cause the unwanted acceleration that led to the recall of more than 8 million cars and trucks. Toyota was attempting to counter tests by an Illinois engineering professor who said Toyota engines could rev without a driver pressing on the gas. The automaker says mechanical problems, not electronics, are to blame. Chris Gerdes, director of Stanford University’s Center for Automotive Research, and a consulting firm, Exponent Inc., said the professor had tampered with wiring to create electronic glitches that could never occur on the road. The professor’s work “could result in misguided policy and unwarranted fear,” Gerdes said. The work of David W. Gilbert, an automotive technology professor at Southern

Illinois University-Carbondale, has been the basis of many doubts that Toyota’s mechanical fixes for unwanted acceleration will truly solve the problem. Gilbert told a congressional hearing Feb. 23 that he recreated sudden acceleration in a Toyota Tundra by short-circuiting the electronics behind the gas pedal – without triggering any trouble codes in the truck’s computer. “We do not believe that electronics are at the root of this issue,” Mike Michels, a Toyota spokesman, said during a demonstration at the automaker’s North American headquarters in Torrance, Calif. Toyota says faulty gas pedals and floor mats, not electronics, are the cause. It is fixing millions of vehicles to correct those problems. But some drivers have reported continued problems in vehicles that have already been supposedly fixed.

Stock market rebound loses luster NEW YORK (AP) – A year after the stock market hit bottom and began a spectacular comeback, it’s getting harder to dazzle investors. Monday was a perfect example of what the market is all about. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 14 and the other major indexes were narrowly mixed as stocks stalled after a big rally on Friday. There was upbeat news, the kind that often sends stock higher: Insurer American International Group Inc. reached a deal to sell one of its major foreign divisions to MetLife Inc. for $15.5 billion, and Royal Dutch Shell and PetroChina offered to buy Australia’s Arrow Energy Ltd. for $3 billion in cash and stock. But investors who rocketed the Dow up 61.2 percent from the 12-year low of 6,547.05 it hit last March 9 weren’t impressed enough to extend the previous day’s big advance. That kind of caution is the reason why the Dow is up just 1.2 percent in 2010. It has stumbled through the first two months of the year because the news just hasn’t been good enough to keep the momentum going.

Tropicana sale to Icahn done deal ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) – It took more than two years, nearly $12 million in fees to lawyers and others and a billionaire’s bargain-basement bid, but the Tropicana Casino and Resort has been salvaged by its sale to Carl Icahn. The $200 million deal completed Monday marks the activist investor’s re-

turn to Atlantic City, the nation’s second-largest gambling market, and ends one of the most tortured casino sales in U.S. history. Icahn bought the casino out of bankruptcy for 80 percent less than what it was expected to fetch before the recession hit. The relief inside the

casino’s executive offices was palpable when a lawyer confirmed that the final papers had been signed and money wired to complete the purchase. “I’m thrilled,” said Mark Giannantonio, who will stay president under Icahn’s ownership. “I don’t think anyone expected it to take 27 months.”

WASHINGTON (AP) – White House aides are increasingly convinced that accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will never face trial in a civilian court and are trying to cut a deal that would still transfer Guantanamo Bay terrorism suspects to the U.S., where many would faces charges, a senior administration official said Mohammed Monday. President Barack Obama is trying to keep a campaign pledge to close the U.S. military prison in Cuba, a promise that has attracted criticism from Republicans who say it would jeopardize national security. He also has lately been under fire from people within his party who say Obama should not accept any deal that would prosecute Mohammed outside the normal judicial system. But a senior official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive negotiations, said the most important goals are closing Guantanamo

To do so, the only option may be abandoning administration’s original plan to prosecute the alleged 9/11 conspirators in civilian courts and allow them to go before military tribunals.

AIG sells Alico unit to MetLife for $15.5B CHARLOTTE (AP) – American International Group Inc. said Monday that it will sell its American Life Insurance Co. division for $15.5 billion to MetLife Inc. The governmentapproved deal, AIG’s second big asset sale in two weeks, will give the insurer more cash to repay the billions of bailout dollars it still owes the government. The purchase expands MetLife’s presence in Japan and high-growth markets in Europe, the Middle

East and Latin America. American Life Insurance, known as Alico, operates in more than 50 countries. MetLife currently offers services in 17 countries. It also moves AIG closer to repaying taxpayers. As of Dec. 31, the company owed the Treasury and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York nearly $130 billion. AIG’s bailout package was originally worth up to $182.5 billion. MetLife will pay $6.8 billion in cash for Alico.

Capital One CEO received $6.1 million in ’09 NEW YORK (AP) – Capital One Financial Corp. awarded its CEO, Richard Fairbank, a compensation package worth $6.1 million in 2009. Nearly all of Fairbank’s compensation was from restricted stock and options awards given to him in January 2009. He received no salary or bonus last year. Fairbank’s 2009 compensation package was sharply higher than the $68,344 he received in 2008. Fairbank’s 2008 compensation was so low because Capital One paid out most of his pay package for that year in December 2007.

Ratings smile on Oscars as viewership rises NEW YORK (AP) – An estimated 41.3 million people saw “The Hurt Locker” top the popular “Avatar” for best picture in the most-watched Academy Awards telecast since 2005. Oscar viewership was up 14 percent over last year, the Nielsen Co. said Monday, keeping with a trend of bigger audiences for major events on broadcast television a month after the Super Bowl set the mark for most-watched telecast ever. In true film fashion, the Oscars built to a big cli-

max when the Iraqi war thriller “The Hurt Locker” and its director, Bigelow Kathryn Bigelow, topped “Avatar,” directed by her ex-husband James Cameron. Bigelow was the first woman to win the Oscar for best director. The audience was up from the 36.3 million who saw “Slumdog Millionaire” win best picture last year.
