Price rethinks school board bid BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – High Point businessman and community activist Ed Price says he is having second thoughts about his bid for the District 2 seat on the Guilford County Board of Education. Price said Thursday he is reconsidering how much campaign time it will take and whether board service would Price be a good fit for him. “I may not be the best person for the county,” Price said. “I think I have about two weeks to decide.” Primaries for school board races with three or more candidates will be on the May 4 ballot.

Skybus’ lingering impact sinks PTIA passenger numbers in study BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GREENSBORO – Thanks for the memories, Skybus Airlines Inc. – yet again. The defunct discount carrier, which made Piedmont Triad International Airport its home up until two years ago, continues to have a negative, lingering impact. This time the setting is in an annual ranking that shows PTIA had one of the largest declines in passenger traffic among the top 100 airports in the country from 2008 to 2009. PTIA’s passenger traffic declined the third most in the nation among the largest 100 airports, according to figures released by the U.S. Department of Transportation Thursday. Scheduled boardings of passengers at PTIA fell 18.1 percent from 1,041,000 in 2008 to 853,000 last year. The only two airports with larger percentage declines were in Cincinnati, with a drop of 21.5 percent, and Ontario/San Bernardino, Calif., with a slump of 19.9 percent, according to the U.S. DOT’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics. PTIA dropped from the 86thlargest airport for passenger boardings in 2008 to the 90th-largest airport in 2009. Nationally, the number of scheduled domestic and international passengers on U.S. airlines declined by 5.3 percent from 2008 to 2009, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Skybus expanded with fanfare at PTIA at the start of 2008. The airline was offered up to $57 million in

AIRLINE BANKRUPTCY

–

Skybus Airlines Inc., which had a hub-type operation at Piedmont Triad International Airport, suddenly went out of business April 5, 2008, and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. When the airline folded on short notice, Skybus had 18 flights from PTIA and employed 100 local workers.

PTIA dropped from 86th-largest airport for boardings in 2008 to the 90th-largest airport in 2009. incentives from the airport, state and local entities to make PTIA its second hub-type operation. The carrier at one point had 18 daily flights, including direct service to the West Coast. But the Columbus, Ohio-based company shut down with little notice in early April 2008, stranding passengers at PTIA and across the country. PTIA’s statistics for 2008 include 86,559 Skybus passengers, compared to none for 2009. The chairman of the Piedmont Triad Airport Authority said the loss of Skybus intensified a

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

The Columbus, Ohio-based discount carrier announced with fanfare in October 2007 it would expand its service at PTIA. The airline received pledges of $57 million in incentives from the airport, state and local entities, though the vast majority of the incentives weren’t provided because of the carrier’s demise. Airport officials estimate $1 million was spent on improvements to the terminal and other commitments for Skybus before its bankruptcy. decline in passengers last year brought on by the recession. “We’ve suffered along with other airports. Airlines have cut seats, cut back on flights,” said Chairman Henry Isaacson, a Greensboro attorney and civic leader. The ranking of PTIA, in percentage terms, among U.S. airports with the highest decline in passengers “is as much due to the Skybus failure as it is anything else,” Isaacson said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Jets hit birds, return safely to airports ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) – Two jetliners crossed paths with flocks of Canada geese shortly after taking off from airports on consecutive days in New York and New Jersey, and the collisions with the large birds forced the pilots to make emergency landings. No one was hurt. A US Airways jet headed to Charlotte, N.C., with 124 passengers and a crew of five struck several geese Thursday morning about two minutes after leaving Rochester’s airport in upstate New York. The pilot reported a problem with one of the two engines, and the plane turned back, officials

Once-revered SC lawmaker freezes to death alone COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – When Juanita Goggins became the first black woman elected to the South Carolina Legislature in 1974, she was hailed as a trailblazer and twice visited the president at the White House. Three decades later, she froze to death at age 75, a solitary figure living in a rented house four miles from the gleaming Statehouse dome. Goggins, whose achievements included key legislation on school funding, kindergarten and class size, had become increasingly reclusive. She spent her final years turning down help from neighbors who knew little of her history-making past. Her body was not discovered for more than a week. Those neighbors, as well as former colleagues and relatives, are now left wondering whether they could have done more to help. “I’m very saddened. People like her you want to see live forever. She had quite a gift for helping others,” said state Sen. John Land, a fellow Democrat who was first elected to the House the same year as Gog-

Goggins, the youngest of 10 children, grew up the daughter of a sharecropper in rural Anderson County, about 130 miles northwest of the capital. She was the only sibling to earn a four-year college degree. Her bachelor’s in home economics from then-all-black South Carolina State College was followed by a master’s degree. She taught in the state’s segregated schools, married a dentist and got into politics. In 1972, she became the first black woman to represent

South Carolina as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. Two years later, she became the first black woman appointed to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission. “I am going to Columbia to be a legislator, not just a black spot in the House chambers,” she told The Associated Press in 1974 following her victory over an incumbent white man from a district just south of Charlotte, N.C. Voters “were weary of poor representation. They were ready to accept a person who was sincere and concerned about things. Those feelings go beyond color,” Goggins said. She sat on the powerful House budget-writing committee and was responsible for funding sickle-cell anemia testing in county health departments. Why she withdrew remains a mystery even to her son. He attributes it to her illness, which was never fully diagnosed. “That’s something I’ve been trying to get my head around for the last 15 years,” said Horace Goggins Jr., 42, of Powder Springs, Ga.

Students cited for weapon, assault BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

pass verifications when he observed a knife in plain view inside the vehicle that student Brandon Alexander Stuck drove to school, according to the sheriff’s office. The officer and a school administrator met with Stuck at the vehicle, which was searched. Another knife and some alcohol was found inside, deputies said. Stuck, 17, of Frankie

Commissioners sounded more supportive about services like the library, although Alston stressed that “we’re in the midst of our budget season, so we can’t give you a yea or nay on that.” The county provided $385,000 for the library in the current budget year, and commissioners toured the newly expanded and renovated facility Thursday. City leaders asked that there be no reduction in its funding. “You saw how well used it is,” Councilwoman Mary Lou Blakeney told commissioners. “Its usage has increased each year and we’re very proud of it. Our children, our seniors, people looking for jobs – the computers are on from the beginning of the day until closing.” City leaders pointed out that all Guilford County residents can make use of the library’s services at no charge, while noncity residents from other counties pay an annual $40 fee.

The council responded with several requests, including proposals to take over building and fire inspection services from the county in the city’s 17.58square-mile planning area on its northern and eastern boundaries. The city also wants the opportunity to review and comment on all development within its planning area and wants the county to adopt High Point’s land use plan and development standards for the area, which encompasses territory into which the

Three charged with robbing Emerywood Fine Foods BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Three people have been charged in connection with the armed robbery of a High Point restaurant. High Point police officers responded to Emerywood Fine Foods, 130 W. Lexington Ave., at 10:19 p.m. Tuesday in reference to the business being robbed at gunpoint by two men – one of whom was armed with a shotgun – who entered the restaurant

and demanded that everyone get on the floor. The suspects took the cash register drawer and ran outside to a waiting getaway car, described as a silver-colored Cadillac last seen heading west on W. Lexington Avenue. No one was injured in the robbery. Shortly after the robbery, an officer spotted the suspect vehicle on W. Market Center Drive near S. Main Street. Back-up officers quickly arrived and assisted in conducting a vehicle

stop. Three men were taken into custody without incident. The cash drawer from the restaurant and the shotgun allegedly used in the robbery were recovered from the vehicle. Arrested were Marcus Russell Boyce, 24, of Warwick Drive, Jamestown, Jevonn Anthony Collier, 25, of Ernest Street, High Point and Michael Gregory Thomas, 23, of Columbia, S.C., according to police and Guilford County Jail records.

Collier and Thomas were each charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon and remained jailed Thursday under $250,000 bonds. Boyce was charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm by a felon and failure to appear for a previous court appearance, jail records showed. He remained jailed Thursday under bonds totalling $550,500. pkimbrough@hpe.com 888-3531

HIGH POINT – An e-mail indicating that all cell phone numbers will be released to telemarketing companies isn’t true, according to the N.C. Attorney General’s office. An e-mail that says, “Reminder: All cell phone numbers are be-

ing released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls,� has prompted inquiries to the attorney general’s office for some time now, said Noelle Talley, public information officer for Attorney General Roy Cooper. “This rumor of cell phone numbers being

made public has popped up from time to time through the years, but there has never been any truth to it,� she said. The e-mail tells recipients to call 888-382-1222 to add their number to the Federal Trade Commission’s Do Not Call list. The number is valid,

said Talley, and it won’t do cell phone users any harm to add their number to the list. However, it isn’t necessary to add a number to the list since cell phone numbers are not being made public. Phone numbers also can be added to the Do Not Call list online at www.donotcall.gov.

Reform will lower costs and help those in need We’re the only industrialized nation in the Western world that doesn’t have universal health insurance. There are 45 million Americans who don’t have health insurance coverage. How would each of us feel if we had to face going to the doctor’s office, much less in for hospital care, without health insurance? We’ve reached an unbearable cost to families, businesses, governments and the nation’s economy. We’re sinking under the health care cost burden. We, who have coverage, can turn our backs on those without coverage, and also on our country’s future, and today wrongly believe we’re saving money and budgeting wisely by not approving this health care reform. Or we can truly analyze the cost to our nation, and to ourselves, of not reforming our current health care system. We, in fact, cannot afford not to do reform. In the process of helping ourselves by lowering costs, we also help fellow Americans who need our help. When we adopted Social Security and decades later Medicare, some thought it was socialism. Now those programs are looked at as sacrosanct and are important benefits for all Americans. We can do this. As we did at that time, when we looked toward the heavens, and with outstretched fingers, we touched the face of God. GARY PARKER Archdale

Law officers take sacred oath that Hege broke As the father of three law enforcement officers, I would like to comment on my feelings about Gerald Hege running for sheriff. I watched all three of my sons go through their law enforcement training. I know the hard physical and mental training they endured. You have to be very dedicated to perform your job as a public servant. At the end of their training, all officers have to take a sacred oath of their profession where they swear to uphold the law. Hege has already broken this oath once. I have talked to 30 to 40 law enforcement officers. They all agree with me that they would not trust Hege to uphold this sworn oath again. There has to be trust between fellow officers for them to perform their job as they should. I feel Hege should not have the right to run for sheriff again, or try to uphold this sacred oath. I also feel like it would be a slap in the face of every law enforcement agent in this country for Hege to become sheriff again since he’s a convicted felon.

God is clear in condemning homosexual behavior In response to Cris Elkins (Your View, Feb. 26, “Writers misuse Bible to condemn gay people”). “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them” (Genesis 1:27).

Learn from Thomasville sewage spill

A

n engineering study of last summer’s sewage spill in Thomasville commissioned by the city raises the possibility that the spill may have been less than 15.93 million gallons and that long-term environmental damage likely will be small. Brown and Caldwell Environmental Engineers and Consultants of Charlotte said the exact amount of the spill couldn’t be determined from records but probably ranged between 4.6 million and 13.7 million gallons. However, the study’s report did say that long-term damage from the spill wasn’t likely because of the nearly 5 billion gallon daily flow of water in Abbotts Creek, the basin into which the sewage would have flowed. Those findings, though, don’t change the fact that parts of Thomasville’s sewer system were in unacceptable shape at the time of the spill and still are as the city awaits state approval of plans to replace old sewer lines in that area. The city has approved a plan totaling more than a half million dollars to make repairs in the area of the spill. Let’s hope the state moves ahead with necessary approvals. Another aspect of the study dealt with areas where corroded lines that could lead to similar problems in the future were uncovered. The engineering firm recommended replacing lines in such shape. This incident is a lesson for smaller cities such as Thomasville and larger ones such as High Point as well. Sewage disposal systems help make cities the hubs of business and industry that they are. But being lax in regular maintenance and inspection of the sewer lines – whether through negligence or budgeting constraints in tight fiscal times – can come back to haunt the cities. Thomasville has paid a steep price in the wake of last summer’s spill in cash and in bad press. Every official of every city should remember that preventive maintenance is not cheap, but it is cheaper.

There is need, support for DAV office in High Point

I

appreciate the positive response about the possibility of a Disabled American Veterans office in High Point sometime in the near future. The Greensboro Chapter No. 20 DAV office is very busy most all the time. Another office in the area would certainly be helpful to the many veterans filing claims. Veterans can receive help with claims here in High Point at the Guilford County Veterans Service Office located in the Courthouse building on E. Green Drive. Visitors must enter from the parking garage side. The telephone number 845-7929. I am glad to see several veterans have announced candidacies for public office. County Commissioner Bruce Davis, a High Pointer, is petitioning to become an unaffiliated candidate for N.C. Senate District 28. I would look forward to having a person from High Point take this seat. I appreciate the work Sen. Katie Dorsett of Greensboro has done, but I think it is time for a High Pointer to win this seat. I hope we can count on veterans who live in District 28 to support Davis, a retired U.S. Marine. I intend to support veterans who are willing to step out and run for elected office. We have managed to get bills passed to benefit veterans in the past 14 months, and we still have a long way to go just to catch up. Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki recently made this statement: “I am personally committed to ending homelessness among veterans within the next five years.” He added, “No one who has served this nation as veterans should ever be living on the streets.” Shinseki, along with 600 other volunteers, attended the Winterhaven Homeless Veterans Stand Down, an event that brings VA services and 80 community agencies together to

provide a full day of support for homeless veterans. More than 400 veterans attended the Stand Down, seeking health care, employment, education and housing services in a welcome and safe environment. Recently, “60 Minutes” filmed VETERAN’S a program here in North Carolina about the homeless female VIEWS veterans. Our state has one of the largest numbers of female Stan veterans who are homeless in Spangle Sr. the United States. Most of these ■■■ homeless females are single parents; and most of them are suffering from PTSD. This is a sad situation and we all need to get involved in finding solutions to this problem. North Carolina has a large number of veterans who call our state home. That, no doubt, is because we have Fort Bragg, Camp Lejeune, Cherry Point and Seymore Johnson Air Base located here. Maybe many do not want to return to their home state because of PTSD. I suppose this is one price we pay for war; however, our price is not nearly the enormous price that the returning veterans pay. Our next veterans luncheon will be 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 10 at the Highland United Methodist Church, located at 1015 Mill Ave. Our Church is located in the southern part of High Point, and we look forward to having you and your guest join us. May God bless American and all the other nations. Semper Fi! STAN SPANGLE SR. is a 21-year veteran of the Marine Corps, serving in Korea and Vietnam. He’s a member of numerous veterans organizations.

Police: US troops kill Iraqi couple BAGHDAD – U.S. troops opened fire on a car in western Baghdad, killing an Iraqi journalist and her husband, a police official said Thursday. Morgue officials confirmed the deaths and said the bodies of Aseel al-Obeidi and her husband were riddled with bullets in Wednesday’s shooting in the Tobchi neighborhood. Al-Obeidi worked for Dijla television, an independent Baghdad station that recently closed because of financial problems. The U.S. military said it was investigating.

Italy murder convict blames Knox, her ex ROME – A man convicted in the 2007 slaying of a British student has written a letter implicating his co-defendants and denying he had ever said they had nothing to do with the murder. Rudy Hermann Guede sent the letter to Italian TV station Mediaset on Thursday. In it, Guede spoke of the “horrible assassination� of Meredith Kercher by his two codefendants, Raffaele Sollecito and Amanda Knox, according to Mediaset.

2 Israeli soldiers indicted for Gaza war conduct JERUSALEM – The Israeli military said Thursday it indicted two soldiers who forced a Palestinian boy to open bags suspected of being boobytrapped with explosives during last year’s military offensive in Gaza. It was only the second time the military has filed criminal charges against its own for conduct in the highly scrutinized three-week operation against the territory’s Hamas rulers.

43 Somalis die after 2 days of warfare MOGADISHU, Somalia – Heavy fighting between Somali insurgents and pro-government troops has killed at least 43 people over two days, as African Union peacekeepers used tanks to help the beleaguered government beat back an insurgent attack, officials said Thursday. Militants attacking from the north on Wednesday reached to within a mile of the presidential place in the heart of the capital, Mogadishu, before African Union peacekeepers in tanks reinforced government troops, residents said.

Early Iraq results: Prime minister in close race BAGHDAD – Partial vote results in Iraq’s historic election released Thursday showed a tight contest between the nation’s prime minister and a secular challenger during a chaotic count that was marred by accusations of fraud. The preliminary tallies from five of Iraq’s 18 provinces were a setback to hard-line religious Shiite political leaders who saw Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki win early victories in two southern provinces deep on their turf.

Fed may seek more authority on vehicle safety

Democrats look to health vote without abortion foes WASHINGTON (AP) – House Democratic leaders Thursday abandoned a long struggle to strike a compromise on abortion in their ranks, gambling that they can secure the support for President Barack Obama’s sweeping health care legislation with showdown votes looming as early as next week. In doing so, they are all but counting out a small but potentially decisive group whose views on abortion coverage have become the principal hang-up for Democrats fighting to achieve the biggest change in American health care in generations. Congressional leaders are hoping they can find enough support from

The concession came as House Democrats attended a lengthy meeting with White House health

adviser Nancy Ann DeParle, who tried to answer questions, resolve differences and calm nerves, especially for lawmakers expecting tough challenges in November. Participants said they generally embraced White House-

brokered compromises on prescription drug benefits for the elderly and new taxes on generous insurance plans. At stake is the president’s call to expand health care to some 30 million people who lack insurance.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Government vehicle safety regulators may seek greater authority to investigate defects in cars and trucks and are weighing a range of new safety requirements in response to Toyota’s recall of more than 8 million vehicles over brake and acceleration problems. David Strickland, head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said Thursday his agency will take a “hard look� at the power it has to set safety standards for automakers. Current authority, acquired in the 1960s and 1970s, may not be enough to oversee the technology used in

modern vehicles, he said. But one lawmaker at a House hearing said the agency’s problems seem to have more to do with “ineptitude� and lack of money than with insufficient powers. Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., said the agency’s response to the Toyota recalls had been sluggish after “years of stagnation in funding.� Meanwhile, Canadian politicians on Thursday accused the nation’s transportation agency of failing to take swift action after receiving acceleration-related complaints in Toyota vehicles three years before the company began a series of safety recalls.

Highway deaths at lowest level since 1950s WASHINGTON (AP) – The roads today are full of hazards. Nonetheless, the number of people dying on the highway is the lowest since the 1950s.

The Transportation Department said Thursday that its projections show total traffic deaths declined nearly 9 percent in 2009 – to 33,963. That’s the lowest toll since 1954.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A team of Brown Middle students Thursday nearly dethroned the defending champion of the annual Davidson County Battle of the Books, finishing second in the annual competition. Held at Davidson County Extended Day School, all six middle schools competed in Battle of Books, with Central Davidson Middle taking home the trophy for the fourth consecutive year. Brown Middle finished a close second and South Davidson Middle placed third. “I was very pleased with them,” Sarah Murphy, Brown Middle’s media coordinator, said of her school’s Battle of the Books team. “I know that Central is tough from four years of winning, so I was very pleased with what they did. They have been excellent workers.” Central Davidson Middle students sealed the victory when it correctly answered eight more questions than Brown

Furniture sales continue slow climb BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Flat or slowclimbing sales may not have been something to rejoice about in pre-recession times, but Ken Smith, publisher of the monthly Furniture Insights report, is still happy to reveal that new furniture sales saw a slight uptick at the end of 2009. The latest report with December statistics reveals or-

‘We aren’t that much above the bottom that we hit in 2008. There hasn’t been a strong recovery.’ Andrew Brod Center for Business and Economic Research ders were 12 percent higher in December compared to December 2008. December 2008 orders were 21 percent lower than December 2007 orders. “At least we have stopped the bleeding for three months in a row,” Smith, part owner of Smith Leonard Accountants and Consultants, said in the report. Flat orders occurred for the first time in October since October 2007. Sales for November were flat as well. About 62 percent of partici-

pants surveyed said they saw increased orders for December, up from 51 percent from November. Orders declined 19 percent overall in 2009, however. The welcomed trend of flat sales in the furniture industry could be interrupted by more declines in January and February, Smith added. The harsh winter weather that hit the state, Northeast and midAtlantic kept some shoppers indoors. Consumer confidence also fell in February – another factor working against a steady increase in sales. “We hope that this was affected by the lousy weather,” he said about consumer confidence. “...With that said, springtime is coming. For those have been hit hard with weather, attitudes will get better if for no other reason than the weather.” Andrew Brod, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, issued caution when considering increases of any kind in the next year or so, including retail sectors. Sales in most sectors have declined so dramatically that small increases won’t mean much for a while, he said. “We aren’t that much above the bottom that we hit in 2008,” Brod said. “There hasn’t been a strong recovery. That’s why, now, some of the increases we’re starting to see might be misleading.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

during the 15 rounds of competition. “They get better every year,” Christine Hunt, director of media services and instructional technology, said of this year’s teams. “I’ve seen a lot of improvement on the middle school level since we started in the elementary. I’ve seen a lot of those kids starting to filter through, and they

are just really excited about reading.” Earlier in the school year, students participating in the event were given a list of 27 books that ranged in readability levels from fifth grade to high school. Team members were told to read each of the 27 books for the competition. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Census count starts April 1 BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – April 1 will have a little more importance this year than the usual tribute to spring fun. It’s also Census Day. Many people already have received mailed notices informing them that the Census forms are coming. The 2010 questionnaire will arrive at households throughout North Carolina from March 15 -17. The 10-question form should be mailed back immediately in the provided, postage-paid envelope. Don’t wait until April 1, census officials say. A quick response saves money. For every 1 percentage point increase in mail returns of the census form, taxpayers save about $85 million in cost of sending census takers doorto-door to collect census information. “If the people of North Carolina complete the census form and return it quickly, then we won’t have to go out, knock on doors, and collect the information,” said William W. Hatcher, regional director for the U.S. Census Bureau. Census results are important to help determine each state’s number of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and to redraw state and local voting districts. More than $400 billion in federal funds is distributed annually based on population data for community projects ranging from schools to job training programs.

Ex-Edwards aide skirts jail time MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

PITTSBORO – Superior Court Judge Abraham Penn Jones threatened repeatedly to send Andrew Young to jail Tuesday for being untruthful about copies made of a sex tape featuring former Sen. John Edwards and his onetime mistress, as well as photos of the then-presidential candidate and his love child. “I don’t like to be played,” the judge said sternly. “Young has submitted affidavits that are full of, to use a nice word, inaccuracies.

I find it difficult to accept what has been said to me at face value.” But before the judge could order bailiffs to take Young away, lawyers for the former Edwards aide managed each time to talk Jones out of locking him up. At issue was an order the judge issued in January requiring Young and his wife, Cheri, to turn over all videos, photos and documents related to the mistress’s relationship with Edwards pending the result of a lawsuit over who owns the materials. The court hearing

Tuesday was the fourth in little more than a month held to determine whether the Youngs had complied. A bevy of lawyers for Edwards’ former mistress Rielle Hunter presented evidence that Young had been repeatedly untruthful or failed to disclose key information in past courtroom testimony and six sworn affidavits. Called to the witness stand to explain himself, Young said the discrepancies were the result of a faulty memory and his chaotic life as a busy author of a best-selling tell-all book on

Recreation workers file suits against Greensboro MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

GREENSBORO – Four employees of the Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department filed a civil lawsuit against the city Tuesday, alleging they were not promoted based on their gender and race. The complainants – Doreen Bryant, A. Jean Jackson, Allison Staton and Richard Wagner – are three black women and a white man who each claim in individual lawsuits that they were not considered for upperlevel positions despite being qualified. Wagner, a white man who has been with the parks and recreation department since 2004, said white women were hired for jobs in 2006 and 2007 through a process in which jobs were not advertised and management did not conduct a “fair and open competition for the job.” His lawsuit claimed that no men were promoted to supervisory or management-level positions since about 1998 . “We’re asking that this ugly behavior be put to an end and those responsible are held accountable,” Wagner said, “and we’re hoping to recoup our losses.” The four employees were part of a group of eight who originally filed U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaints against the city.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is common

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I recently was tentatively diagnosed with CMT disease. Having never heard of it, I did some research myself but can you give me advice as to what I can expect? I am 53 years old and am awaiting more bloodwork results to make sure it is CMT. – C.S.

BLONDIE

CMT – Charcot (sharCOE)-Marie-Tooth disease – is a common, inherited nerve disorder that has a multiplicity of signs and symptoms, because a multiplicity of different genes are involved. CMT type 1, the most common variety, shows itself with numbness, tingling and/or burning sensations of the lower legs. This is evidence that “sensory” nerves are involved, the ones that bring sensations to the brain. Lower leg muscles are also involved, indicating motor nerves also are affected. Motor nerves are the ones that tell muscles to move. Signs of motor nerve involvement are trouble walking, frequent stumbling and tripping and shrinkage of the lower leg muscles. The legs look like upsidedown champagne bottles. In some people, the hands and arms are part of the process. The blood tests you are waiting for must be gene studies. The progression and involvement of CMT is highly variable. Some are

so slightly affected that they scarcely know they have an illness. Others HEALTH are more severely Dr. Paul incapaciDonohue tated. Life ■■■ span is not shortened. Your symptoms have appeared late in life, so you’re not likely to face serious disabilities. You’ll find the CharcotMarie-Tooth Association a source of valuable information. You can reach it on the Internet at www. charcot-marie-tooth.org. Dear Dr. Donohue: Will you write about memantine (brand name Namenda)? Who manufactures it? What are its uses? Are there any don’ttake issues? I’d also like to know if there are any other medicines that can be used instead of it. – L.W. Namenda is manufactured by Forest Pharmaceuticals of St. Louis. It’s a drug for Alzheimer’s disease. It blocks the action of glutamate, a brain chemical that activates brain cells that contribute to the symptoms of Alzheimer’s. It has to be used with care in those with poor kidney function. It might bring on heart failure, transient ischemic attacks and anemia, but those effects are

few and far between. Often, Namenda is used in combination with one of three other Alzheimer’s drugs: Aricept, Exelon or Razadyne. They have a different mode of action. Dear Dr. Donohue: Please list the dangers of cigar smoking. – S.M. Cigars can encourage the development of lung cancer, but, if a smoker doesn’t inhale, the danger doesn’t approach the danger that comes from cigarette smoking. Cigars also promote cancer of the mouth, larynx (voice box) and esophagus. Even if cigar smokers don’t inhale, they have a higher incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease than do nonsmokers. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Cigar tobacco contains more nicotine that does cigarette tobacco. Nicotine has a multitude of unhealthy consequences, and it is absorbed into the blood through the lining of the mouth. Cigar smokers have a high level of carbon monoxide in their blood. DR.

AMESTOWN – They say the only way to leave the Mafia is in a coffin. So when former mafioso Michael Franzese first considered leaving the mob more than two decades ago, he knew the odds of walking away and living to tell about it were not good. Those who try it tend to wind up six feet under, buried with their secrets of the underworld. “It was never even on my radar screen to walk away from that life,” Franzese says. “I was at a

’God is working through me. ... On my own I’d either be dead or in prison for the rest of my life.’ Mike Franzese Former mobster high level, and they were grooming me for bigger things – maybe even to become the boss one day – so walking away was the furthest thing from my mind. In that life, there’s no retirement age. I tell people the mob is not a business, it’s a way of life, and you don’t ever think of leaving.” But in 1985, Franzese – who will share his compelling story Sunday morning at Life Community Church in Jamestown

Former mob boss Michael Franzese will speak during the 9 and 10:30 a.m. worship services Sunday at Life Community Church, 4900 W. Wendover Ave., Jamestown. For more information about Franzese, visit his Web page at www.michaelfranzese.com. – had what he calls “a Damascus Road experience,” when he fell in love with a young woman who became his wife and led him to Christ. Franzese ultimately left the mob – “My lifestyle was in total contrast to (Christianity),” he says – and managed to survive, despite the mob family members who wanted him killed. According to Franzese, he’s still alive for a practical reason and a spiritual reason. The practical reason is that he moved from New York, where his crime family was based, to the West Coast. Knowing how the Mafia operates, he knew how to lay low and make it difficult for him to be found. The FBI also tipped him off when wiretaps indicated someone was trying to hunt him down. “For me, though, the spiritual reason far outweighs the practical reason,” Franzese says. “And the spiritual reason is, I really believe God had a different plan and purpose for me and my life.” That plan, he says, is for him to be a mobster with a mission.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Specifically, Franzese travels the country, speaking at churches – as well as colleges, high schools and detention centers – sharing his story and a message of hope. “I was a sinner of the worst kind,” he says. “I did 17 years in that (mob) life. I did whatever I wanted to do knowingly and willingly, and if God can find it in His heart to forgive me, everybody needs to be encouraged that He can forgive them, too. I think my story has been a major source of hope and encouragement, and without hope in this life, we don’t have anything.” Franzese says he draws large crowds wherever he speaks because of his former ties to the Mafia. “We have a brilliant God,” he says. “When I was in that life, I never realized the fascination people have for the mob life. So when I speak, they come, but not because I’m a celebrity. They come to see the Mafia.” They may come for the Mafia, but what they get is the ministry. “I think with the experiences I’ve had in life, God has been able to use that to encourage others,” Franzese says. “God is working through me, but the credit belongs to Him. On my own, I’d either be dead or in prison for the rest of my life. That’s what I deserved and what I earned, and if God didn’t have a different plan for me, I wouldn’t be here.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

The announcement by the Food and Drug Administration that it has approved Botox to treat upper limb spasticity (excessive muscle tightness) following a stroke is great news for the millions of stroke survivors in the United States, said Dr. Allison Brashear, professor and chair of the Department of Neurology at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. “Stroke survivors often have trouble getting dressed and cleaning their hands,” Brashear said. “Injections of Botox can relieve the tightness that interferes with these activities of daily living.” Brashear and colleagues conducted clinical trials showing Botox to be an effective treatment for the condition. Her research findings were published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2002. A follow-up study published in the journal Neurology in 2004 demonstrated repeated benefits of the injections in patients with post-stroke spasticity. “Final results from our multi-center study show that repeated treatments of Botox over one year is well tolerated and results in a significant decrease in spasticity following stroke,” Brashear said. Spasticity is a disabling condition following a stroke or brain injury, resulting in tightness that interferes with movement of the limb. Often patients are unable to dress themselves, wash their hands or eat without assistance.

I was in the club lounge as my friend the English professor was reading a magazine piece. The prof didn’t care for the writer’s effort. “Amateurish,” he sniffed. “You know, not one writer in a million can use hyperbole well.” A zillion declarers could make today’s game, but the actual declarer ruffed the third heart, took the A-K of trumps, and tried the A-Q and a diamond to his king. West ruffed, and South also lost a club. “I make it if diamonds break 3-3 or if the defender with the last trump has four or more diamonds,” South said. “You should be shot,” North growled. (I think he was using hyperbole, but with bridge players you never know.)

HIGH TRUMP South can reverse the dummy. He ruffs the third heart high and ducks a club. If East returns a trump, South wins in hand, takes the ace of clubs, ruffs a club high, leads a trump to dummy and ruffs a club. South can then go to the queen of diamonds to draw trumps. His A-K

HOROSCOPE

CROSSWORD

Friday, March 12, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Darryl Strawberry, 48; Courtney B. Vance, 50; James Taylor, 62; Liza Minnelli, 64 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Deal with any problems from the last couple of years. Learn from your mistakes. This is a time of intellectual and spiritual growth. Being open to suggestions and working in unison with people who are trying to achieve similar results will enable you to take shortcuts. Your numbers are 2, 12, 15, 21, 27, 38, 46 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Working with a group to come up with community reforms will enhance your reputation and position you for bigger and better opportunities. Set aside time for entertainment or for the one you love. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Question your motives and any plans you intend to implement. You may be setting yourself up for disappointment. Good judgment will be necessary if you want things to work out. Strive for harmony and balance. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You will make a far better impression if you are responsible and cost effective in your pursuits. Offering to help others may get you into a difficult position. Don’t let anyone take you for granted. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take an unusual approach to any changes you want to implement at home or at work and you will attract positive attention. Alterations to your current status will lead to an entertaining evening. Plan to celebrate with the people you enjoy. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Honesty will be your best course of action when dealing with others. A short trip to an unusual destination will bring about some interesting thoughts and opportunities regarding work and where you reside. A passionate approach will bring the best results. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do things a little differently and you will surprise the people you are dealing with. A contract or deal will bring about a change of plans. Don’t be afraid to let whoever you are dealing with know what you want and need. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Plan to do something unusual with friends or people who can help you get ahead professionally. An interesting new look will result in compliments and will attract the attention of someone who can change your life and the way you do things. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your emotions will lead you astray. An unusual but rational approach to whatever you do will be required. You need to make some personal changes that will enable you to broaden your appeal creatively and personally. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will have difficulty following through with your plans. Expect disruptions, delays and last-minute changes. A change in the way you feel about someone can lead to a breakup. You will gravitate to someone more compatible and less restrictive. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Fair play will be your concern. You will want to connect with people who have something to offer in return. You will realize that someone from your past may have had the qualities that best suit your lifestyle now. Don’t be afraid to take a different approach. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Using emotional tactics to get your way will not turn out the way you planned. Positive, honest communication will be a must if you want to win the respect of others and the assistance you need to move forward. Let a romantic relationship unfold naturally. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t try to hide your feelings; it’s better to get things out in the open. You will have a tendency to think things are worse than they really are. Flush out the truth before you make a decision. Someone you work with may interest you personally. ★★★

Storm suffers heartbreak in opener ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

DELHI, N.Y. – Davidson County Community College fell just short in Thursday’s opener of the National Junior College Athletic Association Division III championship tournament. The Storm lost 81-78 to Roxbury (Mass.) and fell into the consolation bracket of the eightteam tournament. DCCC (29-5) trailed by as many as 13 points with 4:13 remaining in the first half before em-

barking on a furious run. Trinity’s Zack Williams opened the 16-4 spurt with three points, Phillip Williams hit two shots and Roderick Geter nailed a pair of 3s as the lead stood just 38-37 for Roxbury at the half. The second half saw both teams battle for control, with Roxbury ending up with 14 leads and Davidson County 13. There were nine ties. The Storm led by as many as five points on a Zack Williams bucket with 8:24 remaining,

and owned its final lead at 75-73 with 3:12 remaining. But Roxbury made four straight foul shots to make it 77-75 with 1:15 to go and the DCCC offense went cold, missing its next five shots. Phillip Williams’ three-point play with 10 seconds to go made it 80-78, and after a Roxbury free throw, Roderick Geter’s 3 at the buzzer to force overtime missed the mark. Geter led the Storm with 21 points, while Phillip Williams had 19 and Justin Glover 17. Roxbury got 28 points from Ravon Dunbar.

Wake Forest players Ishmael Smith (10), Chas McFarland (13) and Tony Woods react in the closing moments of Thursday’s game against Miami in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament at the Greensboro Coliseum. The Demon Deacons suffered an 83-62 loss to the 12th-seeded Hurricanes.

Deacs blown away BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

GREENSBORO – Al-Farouq Amini launched a free-throw attempt that came a good six inches from getting to the rim in the first half. Ari Stewart fired two shots from the corner that glanced off the side of the backboard. Miami plundered the Demon Deacon defense for open shots and dunks. That summed up the effort as fifth-seeded Wake Forest never got going and fell to 12th-seeded Miami 83-62 in the third straight ACC Tournament opening-game loss in three seasons under coach Dino Gaudio. Wake fell to 19-10 and now waits until Sunday to see if it will get a bid to the NCAA Tournament. Miami improved to 19-12 and plays fourth-seed Virginia Tech today. Freshman center Reggie Johnson, a Winston-Salem native, led the Hurricanes’ breeze, going 8for-8 from the field and scoring a career-high 22 points to help offset the absence of leading scorer

Dwayne Collins, who was sidelined by a stress condition in his tibia. The Hurricanes set the groundwork for the rout by scoring on eight of their first nine possessions. They shot 51 percent from the field, 47 percent from 3-point range and 15 of 18 at the foul line. The Deacons’ late-season shooting woes continued as they made just 20 of 57 (35 percent) field goals. Ish Smith went 7 of 14 for 14 points. Tony Woods had 11, as did Aminu, who was pulled by Gaudio for his poor play early in the second half after the Hurricanes went up by 20. C.J. Harris added 10 thanks to two late 3s. “I was very disappointed in our defense,” Gaudio said. “It’s been a staple for us all year. ... They just beat us in every aspect of the game.” Miami scored 40 points in the paint, easily getting to the offensive board after missed shots. “We didn’t keep the ball in front of us enough,” Gaudio said. “We were getting beat with dribble penetration and when our big

guys came over to help, if the shot misses, his guy comes over to rebound.” As bad as the Deacons were, they trailed just 32-25 with 5:22 left in the first half. Miami went on a 102 run for the remainder of the period and then scored the first eight points of the second half to go up 22 with 17:19 left in the game. “We never got any stops,” Gaudio said. “We never gave ourselves a chance to win the game.” Gaudio also had no explanation for Aminu’s lackluster performance, which included poor shooting and poor passing and poor defense. Senior center Chas McFarland was also benched, playing just a minute in the second half. Woods got extended minutes while they sat. “I wish I had an answer for (Aminu’s) poor play,” Gaudio said. “He just wasn’t playing well, so I was just trying to put guys out there who would give us the best opportunity to win.”

hen it comes to getting his team ready for postseason play, Wake Forest coach Dino Gaudio still doesn’t have the answers. The Demon Deacons crashed and burned in their opening ACC Tournament game for the third straight year, this time with an 83-62 thud against Miami that was so huge, a Greensboro Coliseum that was two-thirds full at the game’s start was about three-quarters empty when the blowout ended. Wake was flat from the start, evoking memories of last year’s first-round debacle against Cleveland State in the NCAA Tournament. “I wish we would have come out with more

emotion,” Gaudio said. “Sometimes, we don’t come out with enough. In a tournament, the team that comes out with the most emotion gets off to the best start, and that was Miami. I won’t say that I was shocked by how we came out, because nothing shocks me anymore. But I was surprised.” Senior Ish Smith could not come up with a reason why the Deacons weren’t pumped in a tournament that has so much prestige. “That’s a mystery,” Smith said. “We don’t have any idea why we came out so flat, but we’ll get back to school and see what we did wrong. But, you can’t teach emotion. That’s something you’ve got to come out

with. That’s what Miami did. When you get down 15-20, we wanted to play with energy and fight, but Miami was in too much of a rhythm at that time.” Now they wait until Sunday to see if they get an NCAA Tournament bid. “I have no idea what the people in Indianapolis are thinking, but if you judge us on the whole body of work, we are pretty strong,” Gaudio said, referring to early-season wins and not losing five out of the last six. “But we’ll have to see.” If they get in, it will be interesting to see how the Deacons respond.

State’s No. 2 all-time scorer a test for Bishop BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

KERNERSVILLE – Saturday’s 1A girls state championship game features the teams of Bishop McGuinness and Williamston. There’s also one heck of a battle setting up, though, between Megan Buckland and Katie Paschal, the undisputed leaders of their respective teams. “I think it’s going to be made out to be that way,” Villains coach Brian Robinson said of a Buckland vs. Paschal matchup overshadowing Bishop vs.

Williamston. “We are trying to not make it that way, because it takes away from the rest of our team. We have not been just one player – ever – in this program.” Buckland, a 6-foot junior guard, owns some 30 college offers already and enters the noon tip at the Smith Center in Chapel Hill averaging 19.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. Then there’s Paschal, owner of eye-popping numbers. The senior guard, bound for East Carolina next year, averages 33.2 points per game to go along

with 7.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists. In leading the Tigers (29-0) to a 62-55 win over South Robeson in the Eastern Regional finals, she passed current UNC star Cetera DeGraffenreid for second place on the state’s alltime scoring list. Her 3,142 career points trails just Danyel Parker of Clinton, who scored 3,225 points from 1986-89. “She’s special,” Williamston coach Hughes Barber admitted of the 5-foot-8 guard. “I might coach for 30 more years and not have another one like her.” Paschal leads a high-powered

offense averaging 73 points per game. The Tigers thrive off defensive pressure that leads to easy fastbreak buckets. Bishop has struggled with teams like that this season, said Robinson, whose young squad shoots for a fifth straight NCHSAA 1A crown with an uncharacteristic seven losses this winter. The job of containing Paschal falls squarely on the capable shoulders of Buckland. At 6-feet tall and with a wingspan to go with the height, Buckland has more than bothered opponents’ top scorers in the past. The most recent example came in

Saturday’s regional title game against Mitchell. The Mountaineers’ 2,400-point scorer, Lakin Norris, finished with 10 points on 3-for-14 shooting while also being harassed into seven turnovers. “I know for me, at least, defense has always been my strong point,” Buckland said. “I enjoy playing defense, so I think that’s one of the reasons I was able to stop the girl from Mitchell. This weekend I think it will be very much the same. I’m looking forward to it.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Nance leaves HPCA girls bench Wildcat soccer slams Salem BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Pattie Nance finally decided it was time to take it easy. She plans to coach only two sports during the school year instead of three. Nance told High Point Christian Academy athletic director Corey Gesell on Wednesday that she would be resigning as varsity girls basketball head coach. Nance led the Cougars the past four seasons, but also is required to coach two sports at Archdale-Trinity Middle School, where she teaches physical education and health. “It wasn’t an easy decision. It’s something I prayed about for about a month,” Nance said. “Basically, I was coaching the entire school year and I felt like I was being pulled away from this job (at ATMS) and I wasn’t able to devote the proper time

to the girls (at HPCA). Coaching varsity sports is a year-round job now. I feel like what I’m doing is right for me and right for the kids.” Nance coached alongside her brother, Scooter, at High Point Christian and said the draw of continuing to work with him almost was enough to make her stay. But coaching the ATMS softball team in the fall and girls soccer team in the spring proved to be too much in conjunction with spring and summer workout schedules for the Cougar girls. Pattie Nance said her favorite moment with HPCA didn’t involve a particular moment on the court. Instead, she fondly recalled her days with a class of five seniors that graduated last year. “I was with them three years and it was just a joy,” Nance said. “The relationships with all the girls, seeing them grow and develop as people. I

love the school and I loved being there.” Gesell was appreciative of the work Nance did: “She’s done a great job. Our program has grown a lot and our girls have always loved playing for her.” The AD will begin accepting applications for the position immediately, but has no timetable in mind to fill the vacancy. Gesell will be hiring his second basketball coach in as many years after filling the boys varsity position last summer. The HPCA job also becomes the second opening on a girls bench this week after Weaver Walden resigned from T. Wingate Andrews. “God always sends us coaches, good people who fit our program,” Gesell said. “We’re just going to be patient, see what kind of applicants we get and look for the right fit.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Carolina’s Chad LaRose (59) battles Pittsburgh’s Pascal Dupuis during the first period of Thursday’s game in Raleigh. The Hurricanes pulled out a 4-3 overtime win.

Pothier powers Hurricanes RALEIGH (AP) – Brian Pothier scored 23 seconds into overtime to give the Carolina Hurricanes a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night. Eric Staal and Ray Whitney had a goal and an assist each, and Zach Boychuk also scored for the Hurricanes, 13-3-1 in their last 17 games. Justin Peters made 37 saves – including a late gem on Pascal Dupuis – to help Carolina survive a 40-21 shot disadvantage. Pothier took a pass from Whitney from behind the net and snapped it past Brent Johnson. Matt Cooke, Jordan Staal and Bill Guerin scored for the Penguins, who had their post-Olympic

winning streak snapped at four. Johnson made 17 saves. Pittsburgh had been 101-1 this season in games when it was tied after two periods before it stumbled against the team it swept in last season’s Eastern Conference final. The teams combined for four goals in the first 9:11. Pittsburgh got the first two, with Staal and Guerin sneaking pucks past Peters in quick succession. It was Guerin’s first game back after missing three with back spasms. The Hurricanes, who rallied from a 2-0 deficit the night before in Washington, scored the next three. Whitney scored the first with a one-timer on the power play; Boychuk

added the second when he grabbed the puck off a faceoff, accelerated into the Penguins’ zone and backhanded the puck past Johnson’s blocker. Staal then gave Carolina a 3-2 lead early in the second period when he banked the puck in off Johnson’s legs from a sharp angle.

Panther women riding roller coaster BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Based on the ups and downs for the season, coach Tooey Loy believes his High Point Panthers could go really far or make a hasty exit from the Big South Conference Tournament that begins today at the Millis Center. “The year has been a roller coaster,� Loy said. “We’ve been the best team in the conference at times. We did something that no other women’s team has done in Division I when we went down and beat an SEC team (Florida) on its home floor. At other times, we haven’t been so good.

“This team is capable of making a run and going all the way in the tournament. But, if it plays like we have at other times, we could get knocked out in the first round. We know what we have to do to be successful. It’s a matter of going out and doing it.� HPU (16-13) got the third seed in a coin flip after losing its final two games to drop into a tie with Charleston Southern at 9-7. In the final game of the day at 7:30 p.m., HPU faces Winthrop (13-17), which wound up the sixth seed as a result of losing a tiebreaker to Coastal Carolina. A 59-50 loss to the Eagles was part of HPU’s late dip, which also included a 73-48 loss at Liberty

to close the regular season. HPU won the first meeting with Winthrop 69-60 at home. “The last two games, we haven’t played badly,� Loy said. “We just haven’t shot the ball well. And when we don’t shoot well and aren’t making baskets, we can’t get our press going and get the tempo up. Winthrop kept the game the other week in the 50s and we want it in the 70s or 80s. We’ve got to shoot the ball and then get some stops on defense and get out in transition. “We’re going to be on our home floor. So, hopefully we can have some shots go in early and get on a roll.� Shooting isn’t the only area

where the Panthers need to improve, Loy said. “We’ve got to be better in the half court,� the Panthers’ coach explained. “The last game, we broke down on our weak-side help and they got several baskets off the dribble.� The winner advances to a 3 p.m. Saturday semifinal to play the winner of the contest involving No. 2 Liberty and No. 7 Radford. That game is to tip at 5:30 p.m. today. Tournament passes are available for $20, while single-session tickets cost $8 for lower-level and $6 for upperlevel seats.

Austin Freeman added 18 points and Jason Clark 17 for the No. 8 seed Hoyas (22-9), who will play Marquette in the first semifinal tonight.

Blue Devils relaxed, but prepared for quarterfinal test BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

GREENSBORO – The Virginia team that lost its last nine games of the regular season had no reason to be confident heading into its ACC Tournament opener Thursday. But the Virginia team that saw itself as starting over came out as a confident group and took care of Boston College to set up a matchup today with top seed Duke. “The beauty is that it’s the ACC Tournament, so all the records start over at 0-0,” said Virginia junior Jeff Jones, who scored 14 points for the ninthseeded Cavaliers. “Everybody came out positive. We weren’t thinking about previous games. We weren’t thinking about the nine-game losing streak.” The Blue Devils (26-5), at the other end of the seeding spectrum, say they’re taking much the same approach. They’re in much better position than Virginia to rest on their laurels, having claimed their first regular-season title since 2006, but the only resting they’ve done is allowing themselves to catch their breath with their bye. “This is a clean slate, a new season, and we’ve got to take care of business,” Duke senior Brian Zoubek said. “We’re all positive right now, all working towards the next goal. That shows a lot of maturity because you could kind of relax after the regular season, but we started right over.” It’s rare for an opponent to want it more than Duke does, and that’s the Blue Devils’ first task today. They have to guard against being too relaxed against a 15-15 Virginia team they smoked by 18 points on the road less than two weeks ago and against a Virginia program that last won two ACC Tournament games in 1990. The Blue Devils spent their time in practice since Saturday’s 32-point demolition of North Carolina blissfully unaware of who’d they open ACC Tournament play against. The lack of a known opponent and the lack of classes – Duke students are on spring break – gave the Devils a chance to prepare on their own terms. The one thing Duke won’t have much chance to do is get familiar with the Greensboro Coliseum. Playing the first game of the day should give Duke a little more time to get comfortable, but Virginia already has adjusted to the atmosphere. bstrickland@heraldsun.com | 919-419-6671

North Carolina’s Deon Thompson heads to the goal as Georgia Tech’s Derrick Favors (14) and D’Andre Bell defend during the second half of Thursday night’s ACC Tournament first-round game at the Greensboro Coliseum. The seventh-seeded Yellow Jackets downed the 10th-seeded Tar Heels 62-58 to advance to tonight’s quarterfinals.

Yellow Jackets sting Tar Heels BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

GREENSBORO – Turnovers and the inability to hit clutch shots bit North Carolina again Thursday night as they did for most of the season. Squandering some of its best basketball in weeks, the Tar Heels managed just two free throws in the final 5:13 and fell to Georgia Tech 62-58 in the opening round of the ACC Tournament. Carolina, playing in the opening round for the first time ever, mishandled the ball twice and missed eight shots during the drought as it fell to 16-16 and awaits word of a bid to the NIT. Two of the misses were wideopen 3s that rimmed out as the Heels were trying to rally in the final minute. “We weren’t getting the ball where we wanted,” UNC senior forward Deon Thompson said. “We weren’t executing how we run the plays in practice every day and weren’t taking care of the ball.” It is the first time coach Roy Williams has failed to go to the NCAA Tournament in 21 years as a head coach. Georgia Tech improves to 20-11 and plays Maryland tonight at 7.

The Tar Heels’ collapse at the end finished a rocky second half in which the Jackets quickly erased a 10point halftime deficit with a 10-2 run. “You come out of the half and commit silly plays and let a team back into the game, it makes it tough to close a team out at the end of the game,” Thompson said. Carolina managed to lead as late as 50-49 with just over 11 minutes to go and forced its last tie on Will Graves’ layup that was the Tar Heels’ last bucket. UNC looked liked an entirely different team in the first half as it stopped Georgia Tech cold in going on a 17-0 run to go up 24-13 with 6:52 left before the break. “We played a stretch in the first half where I was pleased with our effort, pleased with our concentration,” Williams said. “We were up 10, but missed five, six shots from two feet, I said at halftime to the kids that we could play much better. And then (Georgia Tech) comes out and scores the first seven points of the half. We didn’t pick up on defense and we didn’t box out.” Tyler Zeller led the Tar Heels with a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds. Derrick Favors scored 18 and Gani Lawal had 12 for the Jackets. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

New-look Cavs slip past Eagles BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

GREENSBORO – For one day at least, Virginia adjusted to the loss of chief offensive threat Sylven Landesberg. Sophomore guard Sammy Zeglinski provided much of the answer Thursday as the Cavaliers sent Boston College home after the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament’s opening round for the first time ever. Zeglinski, who came into the game averaging 8.8 points per game, converted 8 of 15 shots from the floor, including 5 of 10 from 3-point range, on the way to scoring a season-high 21 points as Virginia grounded the Eagles 68-62 to snap a nine-game losing streak. Virginia (15-15) will face top-seeded Duke in today’s opening quarterfinal game at noon. BC finished 15-16. Two of the 3s helped spark a 17-3 run over the last 10 minutes of the first half as the Cavaliers went from six down to leading 34-27 at the break. “It’s nothing really new,” Zeglinski said of

his breakout. “I just try to stay aggressive and don’t get discouraged. It really starts with our defense, because when we get stops, we’re able to get and run and get some easy looks.” Zeglinski wasn’t the only one getting good looks as four other Cavaliers scored in double figures. Jeff Jones added 14 points, Jerome Meyinsse 12, Mike Scott 11 and Mustapha Farrakhan 10 in their third game since Landesberg was placed on academic probation. “The kids are getting more comfortable,” Virginia coach Tony Bennett said. Boston College got within 49-46 with 8:44 to play. Scott hit two buckets to push the lead to seven and the Eagles never got closer than five. Rakim Sanders led BC with 22 points, and Reggie Jackson had 18. “We just did not maintain our defensive concentration,” BC coach Al Skinner said. “We let guys get away from us.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Cavaliers move on without star Bennett also defended the decision to suspend Landesberg. “We have standards for everyone,” Bennett said. “If THE ACC NOTEBOOK: the standards aren’t met, then the person is going to GREENSBORO – As a reward for upsetting Boston Col- pay the consequences, whether it’s Sylven or anyone lege and ending a nine-game losing streak on Thurs- else.

LOCAL CONNECTIONS Miami center Reggie Johnson, a Winston-Salem native who spearheaded the Hurricanes’ upset of Wake Forest, knew Prosser but wasn’t heavily recruited by Wake after Prosser’s death. Johnson made 8 of 8 field goals and scored 22 points. “I believe Skip was watching me, but he was also watching over the Deacons,” Johnson said. “It was kind of weird doing that knowing that he was the coach of the Deacons, but we got the win.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

American Air union moves toward strike DALLAS (AP) — The union representing mechanics and other ground workers at American Airlines is asking federal officials to let them take a big step closer toward a possible strike against the nation’s second-largest carrier. The Transport Workers said Thursday they asked federal mediators to declare a deadlock in their negotiations over a new contract. If mediators agree to the union’s request, it could start a 30-day “cooling-off” period after which the workers would be able to strike. The flight attendants’ union at American has made a similar request.

Texas company, Kroger in legal fight CINCINNATI (AP) — A Dallas area company charges that Kroger Co. is ripping off its technology and methods in the grocery chain’s popular gasoline discount rewards program. Irving, Texas-based Excentus Corp. has filed federal suit in Texas against Cincinnatibased Kroger, saying its patents are being violated and seeking an order stopping Kroger and for unspecified damages. Kroger filed its own lawsuit this week, asking a federal court in Cincinnati to declare it has done nothing wrong and to make Excentus pay its legal fees.

BP to pay $7 billion for exploration rights LONDON (AP) — Oil company BP PLC said Thursday it will pay $7 billion to acquire exploration rights from US-based Devon Energy Corp. that will strengthen BP’s dominant position in the Gulf of Mexico and give it access to a promising region off Brazil. BP will buy the rights for 10 offshore exploration blocks in Brazil and a portfolio of rights in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and in the Caspian Sea.

Exxon Mobil forecasts spending NEW YORK (AP) — Exxon said Thursday that it will boost spending this year on new and existing projects even though global energy demand is still restrained. The world’s largest publicly traded oil company intends to boost capital spending by 3 percent to about $28 billion. Spending should range between $25 billion and $30 billion a year on average through 2014.

Jobless claims drop slightly WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of newly laid-off workers requesting unemployment benefits slipped last week, but remains above the level many economists say would signal new hiring. The four-week average of claims, which smooths volatility, rose to its highest level since November, reflecting a large jump in claims last month. “The economy is struggling to finally transition back to sustained job growth,” Abiel Reinhart, an economist at JPMorgan Chase, wrote in a note to clients. The data “continues to indicate that a shift towards robust hiring has not yet arrived.” The Labor Department said initial jobless claims fell by 6,000 to a seasonally adjusted 462,000. That nearly matches Wall Street analysts’ estimates and is the second straight drop. But initial claims need to fall consistently below 425,000 to signal sustained job creation, economists say. More hiring is critical to provide the income needed to sustain consumer spending and the broader economic recovery. The latest figures come after other mildly positive news on employment. Job

And the unemployment rate was unchanged at 9.7 percent in February, the department said last week, better than analysts expected. The job-

less rate hasn’t risen since October. But the economy has a long way to go to repair the damage done by the Great Recession. The nation has lost 8.4 million jobs since the recession began in December 2007.

Siemens expands, adding 825 jobs RALEIGH, North Carolina (AP) — German industrial conglomerate Siemens AG plans to add hundreds of jobs as it expands a North Carolina unit into a global production hub for a type of gas-powered turbine for electric utility plants. The company plans to invest $135 million and create 825 engineering and manufacturing jobs in five years, according to a project description approved by a state incentives committee Thursday. Siemens will build a new manufacturing plant for 60-Hertz gas turbines in Charlotte and phase out

production of the units at its plant in Hamilton, Ontario, the company said in a statement to employees. Production in Charlotte is scheduled to start in the fall of 2011, the company said. “Over the next five years, we expect employment at the Charlotte site to grow to nearly 1,800 people, with more than 1,000 of those positions new to Charlotte. With this move we’re pushing ahead with our growth strategy in the U.S., which is our most important single-country market,” Siemens AG chief executive officer Peter Loescher said in the statement.

Americans’ net worth rises again WASHINGTON (AP) — American households saw their wealth increase at the end of last year, mainly because the healing economy boosted stock portfolios. The Federal Reserve says household net worth rose 1.3 percent in the fourth quarter to $54.2 trillion. It marked the

third straight quarter of gains. Net worth had risen 4.5 percent in the second quarter of 2009 and an even stronger 5.5 percent in the third quarter. Net worth is the value of assets such as homes, checking accounts and investments minus debts like mortgages and credit cards.

DILBERT

Many economists expect the unemployment rate to remain above 9.5 percent through the end of this year. The four-week average of claims rose to 475,500 last week, up from 470,500 a week earlier.

The four-week average has risen by about 25,000 since the beginning of the year, after falling for most of last year. The increase has raised concerns among economists that layoffs haven’t slowed as much as hoped.

China’s February inflation accelerates BEIJING (AP) — China’s inflation rose in February amid galloping growth and demand for scarce labor, increasing pressure on Beijing to ease off its stimulus while keeping a recovery going in the world’s thirdlargest economy. Consumer prices rose 2.7 percent in February over a year earlier, up from January’s 1.5 percent rate, the government reported Thursday. That exceeded most forecasts and came near the government’s official ceiling of 3 percent inflation for the year. The price rise is too small to trigger an immediate interest rate rise or change in government policy, analysts said. But Beijing has been winding down its stimulus by re-

ducing bank lending, and analysts said it faces growing pressure to prevent overheating with its first rate hike since the global crisis hit. “We could have overheating” if the economy is allowed to grow too fast, said UBS economist Tao Wang. “So all these measures about lending controls and rate hikes are to engineer a soft landing.” Any steps that slow China’s growth could have repercussions for its trading partners if that erodes demand for imports. But Wang and others said that even if Beijing tightens credit, it should have little effect on trade because its target of 8 percent growth this year is strong enough to drive demand for im-

ports. China’s imports jumped 44.7 percent in February from a year earlier and other governments are looking to it to help drive global demand. The country is a major buyer of iron ore from Australia and Brazil and industrial components from Taiwan and other Asian economies. Beijing declared China recovered from the global crisis after growth rebounded to 10.7 percent in the final quarter of 2009 on the strength of a huge stimulus. But communist leaders say stimulus spending and easy credit will continue because the export outlook is uncertain and a revival in domestic demand is not firmly established.

NEW YORK (AP) — A rally in financial stocks Thursday helped the market extend its grind higher to a third day. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index cleared an important hurdle watched by traders when it closed just above its January peak to set a new 17-month high. That could bring some hesitant buyers into the market. Financial shares rose after Citigroup Inc. CEO Vikram Pandit said the bank was on a path toward “sustained profitability” as it sells off risky assets. The bank has been the hardest hit by the financial crisis so the upbeat assessment helped boost expectations about the economy. The stock rose 5.6 percent. Financials’ climb helped offset concern about a spike in inflation in China. The country said its inflation rate rose to 2.7 percent in February from 1.5 percent in January. A steep rise in prices could force China to raise interest rates. That, in turn, could slow one of the world’s fastestgrowing economies and put a damper on a global recovery. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 44.51, or 0.4 percent, to 10,611.84. It is down 1.1 percent from its recent high in Jan. 19. The S&P 500 index advanced 4.63, or 0.4 percent, to 1,150.24, above its Jan. 19 close of 1,150.23. The index now stands at its highest level since Oct. 1, 2008.

Republic hits speed bump with mechanics MILWAUKEE (AP) — The union for mechanics at Frontier Airlines is going to court over plans to shift their work to Milwaukee. Republic Airways Holdings Inc. bought Frontier last year, and wants to move Frontier’s maintenance operation from Denver to Milwaukee, where work on the company’s other jets is

already done. But the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which represents Frontier mechanics, said in a court filing that their contract guarantees that they do that maintenance work. They said Republic is offering to transfer mechanics to Milwaukee, but they would no longer be in the union. Republic has not yet

responded to the request for a court order enforcing their contract. The request was filed late Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Milwaukee. According to documents filed by the Teamsters, Frontier mechanics who move to Milwaukee have been told they’ll no longer be covered by the union.

Reid’s wife, daughter injured in accident

JACKSON, Miss. – An 18-year-old Mississippi lesbian student says she got some unfriendly looks from classmates when she returned to school after officials canceled the senior prom because of her request to escort her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo. Constance McMillen says she didn’t want to go back, but her father told her she needed to face her classmates and school officials in Fulton. McMillen says one student told her, “Thanks for ruining my senior year.� The Itawamba County school district says it won’t host the April 2 prom at McMillen’s high school.

Their adult daughter, Lana, also was injured. Neither woman’s life appeared to be in danger, and both women can feel their extremities, Manley said. Other details of the accident were not immediately available.

Federal regulators recalled charm bracelets on Thursday with the “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer� theme sold at dollar-type stores, due to high levels of the toxic metal cadmium.

Feds recall more children’s jewelry LOS ANGELES (AP) – Federal regulators expanded their efforts Thursday to go after children’s jewelry that contains high levels of the toxic metal cadmium by telling parents to throw away “Rudolph the RedNosed Reindeer�-themed charm bracelets. The warning from the U.S. Consumer Product

Safety Commission came after agency scientists found that the jewelry released alarmingly high levels of cadmium in lab tests, potentially exposing children to a carcinogen that also can damage kidneys and bones. The action represents the second cadmium-related recall the government has carried out

since an Associated Press investigation earlier this year found that some children’s jewelry was made almost entirely with the heavy metal. About 55,000 “The Princess and The Frog� pendants sold at Walmart stores were recalled in the weeks after the AP published its initial findings.

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama plans to donate the $1.4 million from his Nobel Peace Prize to helping students, veterans’ families and survivors of Haiti’s earthquake, among others, drawing attention to organizations he said “do extraordinary work.� Obama is giving a total of $750,000 to six groups that help kids go to college. Fisher’s House, which provides housing for families with loved ones at Veterans Administration hospitals, will receive $250,000. And the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund will receive $200,000. The Nobel committee honored Obama for changing the tenor of international politics and for pursuing goals that will require worldwide efforts, such as nuclear disarmament and reversing global warming.
