Computers are replacing chalkboards and textbooks.

Assistant principals now have sworn police officers, some armed with Tasers, to help them with disciplinary issues. And standardized testing is more common than ever before. Today marks the beginning of a six-part series, “Education 2010: The classroom of the 21st century.” The subtitle actually goes beyond the desks and chalkboard. It encompasses the current school environment, the evolution of modern teaching and the increased role of standardized testing in U.S. schools. It also includes the current social issues impacting 21st century education, from the need to have police on public school campuses to other programs that deal with problems and challenges faced by today’s youth – problems that either didn’t exist in previous generations or have taken on a new, bolder face.

HIGH POINT – Ohio’s Chuck Engle said he had never won a marathon in the way he did Saturday in High Point.

Nearly two hours after Old Dominion University graduate Ryan Carroll was announced as the winner of the 2010 United Healthcare North Carolina Marathon, race officials disqualified the 27-year-old from Hampton Roads, Va. Engle, who finished with a time of 2 hours, 46 minutes, 5 seconds, was named the eventual winner of the marathon, which benefited Foster Friends

of North Carolina and took place in High Point for the second consecutive year.

Melissa Fourrier, Foster Friends of North Carolina executive director and race director, said Carroll was disqualified because he had registered for the half marathon and not the marathon. She said race officials followed USA Track & Field competition rules in making the decision “He came here to run the half marathon,” Fourrier said.

“Minutes after realizing he was on the marathon course, he was given the option of turning around. He chose to continue on the marathon course. He really disqualified himself there. ... We made the best decision to maintain the integrity of the event.”

Carroll, who has never won a marathon, was competing in his seventh marathon. He

said the decision to disqualify him was “unfortunate.”

Carroll’s misfortune allowed Engle to capture his 88th marathon title in 204 attempts. Engle, 39, said he stuck with David Duggan, a High Point University graduate who won the marathon last year, for much of the race. Duggan finished fourth behind Greensboro’s Samantha Kilsdonk, who had the fastest women’s time.

“I was fortunate to have (Duggan) run most of the race with me,” Engle said. “The fact that he finished (fourth) today ... allowed me to know the course.”

Winning the N.C. Marathon qualified Engle to enter the Boston Marathon, but he said he had already qualified for that race and plans to compete in it for the fifth time. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

HIGH POINT – Excitement filled the air from start to finish of the United Healthcare N.C. Marathon in High Point Saturday.

Competing in the half marathon, Chris Collins of Advance prepared minutes before the start of the event by getting “pumped up” with his four children and wife, Shawn. “Are we ready guys?” he asked his children before the start.

“I’m excited that he could do it,” Shawn Collins said. “This is amazing. That’s a long way.”

Just a few feet away, Durham’s Chris Lazenby kissed his wife, Jadie Lazenby, before she competed in the full marathon.

“We are pretty excited,” Chris Lazenby said.

“We have been training for the past few months to get her ready to run for the day. She just had a pregnancy a few months ago, so she’s had to work pretty hard to get there.”

As the marathon began on Hamilton Street, onlookers waved “thunder sticks,” and many parents held their children up in the air as more than 1,500 runners took to the streets of High Point. It didn’t take long before fans started to navigate around the course to watch their loved ones.

Margaret Riddle and six other members of Archdale Friends Meeting cheered for their pastor and his wife, David and Emily Mercadante, as the couple competed in one of the events in the N.C. Marathon. The couple competed in the marathon to raise money for the Community Outreach of Archdale-Trinity.

“We are just so proud that they did this,” Riddle said.

Kim Scott, a Greensboro resident and Virginia Tech student, cheered on a couple of her friends as well. She competed in the marathon for the first

time last year.

“It was awesome,” Scott said. “I highly recommend it. This is the first time I’ve ever been on the other side, like not running, so it’s really fun getting to cheer on everyone that’s running by. It’s great.”

Tim Fahning of Thomasville cheered for his wife Melinda in the half marathon.

“I’m proud of her,” he said. “She runs all the time to take care of her health. This is a onceor twice-a-year kind of thing for her to do, so it’s good.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Hometown: High Point

GUILFORD COUNTY – As a principal, Lori M. Bolds wants to motivate students and to find the right people for the important job of teaching them.

Bolds handles the dayto-day operations of her school. She also is responsible for hiring staff and providing resources for teachers, students, and parents.

“I am like the head of a company, but it’s really a whole school effort,” Bolds said.

Motivational slogans are posed on many of the walls in the school. The leading one is BEST: Behave responsibly; Expect to learn; Strive for excellence and Treat others with respect. There is a wall dedicated to other motivational slogans.

“Getting the kids to believe in themselves is important,” she said. “I tell them, they have so many things they can do.”

Everyone should be dedicated to helping children learn.

“I try to get a good staff and then let them support them,” Bolds said.

The school also embraces the Positive Behavior Support Program using school-based data to develop ways to promote positive behavior with a focus on prevention of inappropriate behavior. PBS emphasizes a positive school climate, open communication and rewarding positive outcomes.

The photos of outstanding students often get featured on hallways. Staff members also are highlighted monthly for their outstanding contributions.

Although, the school’s magnet theme stresses technology to encourage learning, Bolds still embraces the world of paper notes and correspondence.

“I mold my day based on my observations. I have the net (laptop computer) book, but I am still a paper person,” Bolds said. “I carry around an organizer. I still write note cards.”

Bolds keeps instruction sheets and directions on how to best use new technologies to assist teachers in feeling comfortable with the newest technology and science advances.

“I love having the magnet theme,” Bolds said.

“A lot of the kids thought they did not deserve it.

All students need to be exposed to technology, no matter where they come from. So many of them know more about it than the teachers.”

Education: University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, bachelor of arts degree; UNC-Greensboro, master’s degree in English.

Hobbies: Traveling, reading, attending sports events, and plays/singing.

“There is a range of attitudes and adjustments,” Bolds said. “Some sixthgraders are like children and don’t get the abstracts. By eighth grade, the hormones start to kick in.”

By 9:15, students have settled into their classrooms and Bolds tends to daily paperwork in the office.

Then it’s off to visit classrooms, counselors and the media center.

“We also have planning periods for teachers so that they can work together more closely,” said Principal Lori M. Bolds.

“There also is some competition between the groups.

Students and teachers get involved in that.”

As public education moved into the 21st century, it became apparent that parental involvement is a key to a student’s success. Parent representatives are an important part of the school Planning and Leadership team at Welborn, which meets once a month.

“Parent involvement is not at the level we want,” Bolds said. “We are working to find out why. We

The school sponsors family dinners to reach out to parents, Bolds said.

Teachers also must command modern technologies to get their messages across to students and to entice them to explore.

“The technology allows us to reach more students,” Bolds said. “I want our teachers to try new things. Things don’t stay the same.”

Patience often comes into play when teachers are faced with budget cutbacks and changes in goals and compensation.

Guilford County district leaders are considering a replacement for Mission Possible which, along with two other programs, offers hiring and performance incentives at 30 either low-performing schools or those with high teacher turnover.

Many teachers want all employees at schools participating in any new plan rewarded.

“If not, it becomes divisive,” Guilford County Association of Educators President Tijuana Hayes has said several times.

Teachers also are speaking out on proposed changes in the district’s layoff policy that some believe threatens tenured teachers and career employees. Many teachers fear that principals and the superintendent will be given too much discretion so that teachers

TEACHER SAYS

U.S. teachers are more interested in school reform and student achievement than their paychecks, according to a massive new survey of 40,000 K-12 teachers financed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. According to the survey: • Performance: Teachers don’t want to see their students judged on the results of one test, and they also want their own performances graded on multiple measures.

• Rewards: Most teachers value time to collaborate with other teachers and a supportive school leadership over higher salaries.

Only 28 percent felt performance pay would have a strong impact and 30 percent felt performance pay would have no impact at all.

• Dedication: Most teachers said they spend time visiting students at home or participating in afterschool and weekend events. They see themselves as a bridge between school and home and an important part of the effort to raise student achievement.

New tip leads Aruba to search for missing US teen ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) – Authorities will search once again for a missing U.S. teen after an American couple took an underwater picture of what they believe might be Natalee Holloway’s remains, a spokeswoman for the prosecutors’ office told The Associated Press on Saturday.

A police diving team will soon do preliminary work at the spot where of-

ficials believe the picture was taken, spokeswoman Ann Angela said.

It is too early to say whether the tip is more viable than the other numerous ones authorities have received, Angela said. “It could be a skull, it could be a stone, it could be anything,� she said. “That’s what we’re trying to figure out.�

The couple cannot pinpoint the exact loca-

tion, but a local resident believes he can find the spot, Angela said. “We are a very small island with lots of people diving or snorkeling, so it’s not unusual for one of us to see an underwater picture and recognize the location.�

Angela said she could not reveal where or when the dive would take place so as not to attract onlookers.

Taliban adjust, wage bomb attacks in Afghan town MARJAH, Afghanistan (AP) – Explosions rumble through this former Taliban stronghold three or four times a day – an ominous sign that the insurgents have not given up despite losing control of this town to U.S. and Afghan forces about two weeks ago.

This week, Lt. Gen. Michael L. Oates, the U.S. general in charge of a Pentagon program to combat roadside bombs, told a congressional committee that the number of homemade explosives in Afghanistan had nearly

doubled in the last year and “the number of casualties has reflected that.�

The disturbing trend is starkly clear here in Marjah, which had been the biggest community under Taliban control in the south until a major military operation was launched last month to push out the insurgents.

Taliban fighters scattered but have not abandoned the fight – and are using homemade bombs as their weapon of choice.

New bombs are planted every night, even though

Marines say they find and render safe more of them than explode. The bombs are often placed in spots where the Marines stopped on patrol the day before, or into holes from previous explosions so the upturned earth doesn’t look suspicious.

Since U.S. and Afghan forces seized control of Marjah about two weeks ago, they have been working to build up trust in the community. They hope the strategy will pay off with more and more tips about where the Taliban have planted bombs.

The death of 16-year-old Mohammed Qadus, who was shot in the chest by Israeli security forces, comes amid heightened tensions between Israelis and Palestinians after Israel announced plans last week for 1,600 new homes for Jews in disputed east Jerusalem.

Foe edges ahead of Iraq premier in vote count BAGHDAD (AP) – A secular challenger to Iraq’s prime minister edged ahead Saturday in the overall vote count in parliamentary elections, while the prime minister held onto his province-by-province lead as the counting neared completion.

The March 7 elections will determine who will lead Iraq as American troops depart and the country is left to grapple with the sectarian divisions laid bare by the U.S.-led invasion seven years ago.

Former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi’s political alliance was leading by 7,970 votes nationwide, according to a tally of 92 percent of the almost 12 million ballots cast.

Allawi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s coalition was leading in seven provinces compared with five for Allawi’s bloc.

With cheap imports, Haiti can’t feed itself PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – The earthquake not only smashed markets, collapsed warehouses and left more than 2.5 million people without enough to eat. It may also have shaken up the way the developing world gets food.

Decades of inexpensive imports – especially rice from the U.S. – punctuated with abundant aid in various crises have destroyed local agriculture and left impoverished countries such as Haiti unable to feed themselves.

Mexico’s drug war takes toll on Americans MEXICO CITY – More Americans in Mexico are falling victim to a wave of drug violence sweeping the country, a change driven home by the recent killing of a U.S. Consulate employee and her husband who were gunned down after leaving a children’s birthday party.

The number of U.S. citizens killed in Mexico has more than doubled to 78 in 2009 from 37 in 2007, according to the U.S. State Department’s annual count. No figures were available for the first two months of 2010.

Snowmobiler dead in Canadian avalanche REVELSTOKE, British Columbia – Rescue crews ended their search Saturday in British Columbia’s mountainous backcountry after accounting for everyone in an area where an avalanche cascaded down a mountain, killing one snowmobiler.

The slide struck around 3:30 p.m. Friday while snowmobilers were riding in the deep backcountry snow on Eagle Pass Mountain near Revelstoke, British Columbia.

Earthquake, aftershock shake eastern Cuba HAVANA – A moderate earthquake and smaller aftershock rattled houses and nerves in eastern Cuba on Saturday near the U.S. holding facility at Guantanamo Bay. No damages or injuries were reported.

The quake, with a preliminary magnitude of 5.6, struck just after 1 p.m. EDT, 30 miles south of Guantanamo, the Cuban city adjacent to the U.S base, said the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colorado.

BEIJING – Tons of sand turned Beijing’s sky orange as the strongest sandstorm this year hit northern China, a gritty reminder that the country’s expanding deserts have led to a sharp increase in the storms.

The sky glowed Saturday and a thin dusting of sand covered Beijing, causing workers and tourists to muffle their faces in vast Tiananmen Square.

Saturday’s results mark the second time Allawi’s Iraqiya coalition, made up of Sunni and Shiite candidates, has edged ahead of al-Maliki’s State of Law coalition in the lengthy tallying of votes.

The results also included a fourth of the ballots cast by Iraqis living abroad, who are believed to back Allawi.

Allawi’s slim lead would hold or whether it would mean more parliament seats for his Iraqiya bloc.

Under Iraq’s election system, parliamentary seats are apportioned by how well coalitions do in each province, not by the overall vote count.

Toby Sumner, of Ritzman Lawn Service, clears snow in front of a Weaver’s Department Store window Saturday in Lawrence, Kan.

Snowstorm strikes Plains on first day of spring storm. The weather could also affect attendance at men’s and women’s NCAA tournament games this weekend in Oklahoma City and Norman. “I’m not going to risk getting myself killed going down I-35,� said Kansas State fan John Blankenship of Udall, Kan., who attended the Wildcats’ game Thursday and intended to come back on Saturday.

Fargo calm, confident as Red River completes rise FARGO, N.D. (AP) – They passed out cigars in Fargo on Saturday, but no matches just yet, as a flood-weary city that’s spent the last week getting ready to hold back the Red River cautiously prepared to celebrate what appeared to be a successful defense against the swollen waterway.

The river continued to inch upward toward an expected crest Sunday a few feet below last year’s record, to be followed by a

quick and steady drop. As they waited, Fargo’s residents turned their attention to cleaning up debris in low-lying neighborhoods where more than a million sandbags held back the waters, with some taking a break for basketball. “Last year I was not sleeping well. This year I am sleeping like a baby,� said Fargo resident Kevin Pladson, who last year counted on mounds of sandbags to keep the river away from his back deck.

7 arrested as DC anti-war rally concludes WASHINGTON – Seven protesters, including activist Cindy Sheehan, have been arrested at an anti-war rally and march in Washington.

Sheehan began shouting “arrest that war criminal� through a bullhorn and pointing to the White House from an area of sidewalk park police had closed off Saturday afternoon. The other six protesters were among a group of more than a dozen who had lain down on the sidewalk next to a row of flag-draped cardboard coffins outside the White House fence.

The rally and march drew thousands to the park near the White House on the seventh anniversary of the invasion of Iraq.

3 killed after small planes collide over Florida WILLISTON, Fla. – A single-engine plane and a kitbuilt aircraft collided in clear, sunny skies Saturday over central Florida, killing three people, authorities said.

A Williston woman who thought she heard a gunshot discovered the kit-built plane upside down in a field near her house and called authorities, Levy Sheriff’s Office Capt. Evan Sullivan. When emergency responders arrived, they found a second plane engulfed in flames in a dense wooded area several hundred yards away.

Black support high for Obama’s race-neutral stance CHARLOTTE – In this banking center walloped by the Great Recession, where unemployment just hit a 20-year high and as many as one in three black people are out of work, blacks could easily be frustrated with President Barack Obama’s insistence that a rising economic tide for all will lift African-American boats.

Yet despite surging discontent among some black advocates over Obama’s refusal to specifically target rising black unemployment, it’s hard to find average black folks here who disagree with the president’s approach. “He has been addressing the black agenda as far as health care, education, all that,� said Tamera Gomillion, a bill collector who has been struggling to pay her own bills.

Police: Boy made racial comment at NJ Walmart WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. – A 16-year-old boy who police said made an announcement at Walmart ordering all black people in the southern New Jersey store to leave was charged with harassment and bias intimidation, authorities said Saturday.

The boy, whose name is not being released because he is a juvenile, grabbed one of the courtesy phones at Walmart’s Washington Township store Sunday evening and calmly announced: “Attention, Walmart customers: All black people, leave the store now,� police said. The teen was arrested Friday and released to the custody of his parents.

Man wanted for Detroit slayings nabbed near LA DETROIT – U.S. Marshals using information from Detroit police have arrested in California a man wanted in a double slaying reported by the 8-year-old daughter of one of the victims.

Detroit Police Chief Warren Evans says 42-yearold Derrick Smith was arrested Friday afternoon in Gardena, Calif. Smith was wanted on two counts of murder in the March 1 shooting deaths of 26-year-old Monica Botello and her 26-year-old boyfriend, Purcell Carson, in the basement of Carson’s Detroit home.

Botello’s daughter pleaded for help in a call to a 911 dispatcher, but the girl didn’t know the address.

Obama: Democrats need to unite on health bill WASHINGTON (AP) – Victory within reach, President Barack Obama exhorted House Democrats on Saturday to stay true to their party’s legacy and make history by bringing health insurance to millions of struggling families now left out. Leaders exuded confidence as they defused thorny problems in the countdown to a landmark vote.

Obama evoked Abraham Lincoln’s moral compass and extolled Democratic achievements such as Social Security and Medicare – once controversial, now an essential part of the social fabric – on a day marked by a frenetic hunt

AP

President Barack Obama (center) lends his support during a visit to Capitol Hill to meet with House Democrats in Washington, Saturday. With Obama are Rep. John B. Larson (left), D-Conn., and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. for votes inside the Capitol, angry tea party demonstrations at the door. Some protesters hurled racial insults at black members of Congress. “Is this the single most important step that we have taken on health

care since Medicare?�

Obama asked rank-andfile Democrats far from the chanting crowds. “Absolutely. Is this the most important piece of domestic legislation, in terms of giving a break to hard working, middle-

class families out there?

Absolutely. “It is in your hands,�

Obama said, bringing lawmakers to their feet. “It is time to pass health care reform for America and I am confident that you are going to do it tomorrow.�

Demi Moore arrives during the 82nd Academy Awards in Los Angeles earlier this month.

Demi Moore’s Twitter account part of suicide help CASSELBERRY, Fla. (AP) – Actresses Demi Moore and Nia Vardalos were linked to an online chain of Twitter posts that ultimately led to Florida authorities intervening Friday when an 18-year-old man threatened to commit suicide.

Moore’s Twitter account, mrskutcher, was among those responding to a message from a young man threatening to hang himself in his front yard in Casselberry, north of Orlando. Moore – with more than 2.5 million fol-

lowers – and husband Ashton Kutcher are both active on the social network.

Vardalos’ eponymous account included a message that she had called a suicide hotline and been connected to Florida police.

GUILFORD COUNTY – Sheriff BJ Barnes may have a job for you.

If you don’t want to help build the new $85 million state-of-the-art county jail annex in downtown Greensboro, Barnes could have a place for you inside the building. He will be hiring 166 jailers and staff within a year.

As framework for the 1,000bed detention center rises from the ground, county officials are making plans to staff the building despite a tough economy and a downsized county budget.

“This will be difficult, but we will do it,” County Manager Brenda Jones-Fox said Friday during a jail construction advisory committee.

Barnes said he will probably recruit jailers and deputies from other agencies.

“We’d like to start hiring as soon as possible, but we know that may not happen,” Barnes said. “We hope things will be better in a year. It will be very labor intensive to do this. We can’t lower our standards.”

Democratic Commissioner Paul Gibson, committee chairman, said he expected some “tough decisions” to come on staffing.

The annex, rising five stories above the street and commanding most of a city block at 401 Sycamore St., will have as many as 90 beds for mental health and substance abuse patients.

Meanwhile, representatives of Balfour Beatty, the county’s construction management firm, told the committee that the project is on schedule and under budget despite 34 days of rain or snow from November to February.

There are 120 workers on the site and more will be added as the building starts to take shape, said Jimmy Anderson of Charlotte-based Balfour Beatty. There are seven Guilford County firms among “first tier” contractors. Job seekers report to the site regularly to contact contractors, said John Duke of Balfour Beatty.

“Eighteen showed up just yesterday,” Duke said.

Voters passed a $115 million bond referendum in 2008 to build a 1,000-bed jail annex to ease overcrowding. Plans also call for Balfour Beatty and partner D.H. Griffin of Greensboro to renovate the existing downtown Greensboro jail.

“But we need to address housing and jobs too to keep people from going to jail and coming back,” Gibson said. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

AT A GLANCE

–

The project will bring at least $23 million to Guilford County. More than 50 subcontractors could eventually employ 1,200 workers.

Old Dominion Freight Line Inc. has bought the former Oakwood Furniture Galleries, located at 100 Don Truell Lane in Thomasville, and plans to turn the 160,000-square-foot space into a headquarters for its warehousing and distribution services division.

Old Dominion expands services

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Old Dominion Freight Line Inc. has opened a new warehouse in Thomasville that will headquarter its warehousing and distribution services division.

The Thomasville-based company bought a 160,000-squarefoot space, formerly occupied

by Oakwood Furniture Galleries, at 100 Don Truell Lane in the Thomasville Business Park.

The purpose of the warehouse is to “expand the company’s value added services, which include warehousing,” said Rick Keeler, senior vice president at Old Dominion.

“This is our third warehouse opening,” Keeler said. “It’s our intent to be a third-party logistics warehouse and a foreign trade zone operation.”

The company also has warehouses in Commerce, Calif., and Worcester, Mass.

Keeler said a foreign trade zone status would be important for the company’s customers who have offshore production facilities because it allows imports to be easily shipped to and from the warehouse. It also could cut some costs for customers, he said.

“If Old Dominion provides services to the product, such as some sort of assembly, the customer does not pay import duties,” he said. “If they can finish the product 90 percent in foreign territory and bring the freight to a foreign trade zone for 10 percent completion, they can save on those import duties.”

The warehouse’s foreign trade zone application is awaiting approval from U.S. Cus-

toms and Border Protection, and Keeler expects to receive the approval this summer.

About 100,000 square feet of the space is being used as a general warehouse while other parts will be used for office space.

Ten employees will be moved to the new warehouse by the summer, he said.

The warehouse and its distribution functions fall in line with efforts from the Piedmont Triad Partnership to make the Triad a logistics center for the East Coast. David Congdon, CEO of Old Dominion, is involved in PTP’s efforts to create the Piedmont Triad Center for Global Logistics, slated for completion in 2011.

“We’re very much in support of this area being a logistics center,” Keeler said. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

HPU libraries use social Web site to boost services ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – The libraries at High Point University are using modern technologies to help provide roundthe-clock service.

Smith Library and the University Center Library are open round the clock. The library joined Facebook this semester so that students can be in touch with the library all day, every day. The Facebook account allows the library to highlight new resources and to send messages to students that have “friended” the library.

“Many libraries have positioned themselves in the social networking world – called Web 2.0,” said David Bryden, director of Library Services at HPU. “The library’s Facebook page has grown to be quite popular.”

PROJECTS

–

Digital: HPU librarians are digitizing old archive films, including an oral history of the school by the late Roy Epperson. The digital versions of college yearbooks from 1927 to 2008 also are available for viewing.

Viewing: Go to the library Web site at library.highpoint.edu.

The library provides librarians or graduate library school students during late night hours. Using Facebook “chat,” students can talk with a librarian anytime they have a question.

“We have found that the evening

and late night hours are some of the most popular,” Bryden said. “At Smith Library, we will see as many as 250 students during these late night hours.”

Using reference resource cards, librarians can help track needed resources. Once research is completed, the staff gives the student the filled out form and then keeps a copy.

“We get in touch with the student after the research session to see if what we did and the research materials they received were helpful,” Bryden said.

The library also offers a “Books on Demand” program, in which students suggest titles for the library. If Bryden’s staff determines the library needs a book for students, it buys copies. Through BOD, the library purchases about 300 new titles a year.

Black support for Obama high in Charlotte

OBITUARIES (MORE ON 2B)

Shirley Goodman LEXINGTON – Shirley Lyalls Goodman, 70, of Lexington, died March 19, 2010.

Funeral will be held at 2 p.m. Monday at Southside Baptist Church. Davidson Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

is 30 percent black and had a 12.8 percent overall unemployment rate in January. Charlotte’s huge black turnout was crucial to Obama barely winning North Carolina in 2008, the first Democrat to do so since 1976.

Interviews with two dozen African-Americans last week revealed common themes: Obama is correct to focus on the needs of all Americans. It’s too soon to condemn him for inaction.

His emphasis on health care and education will greatly help blacks. Black people should take responsibility for solving their own problems.

And when 2012 comes, they plan to vote for Obama again. “He’s got bigger fish to fry� than a black agenda, said Beth James Davis, a marketing executive, as she ate dinner in a restaurant near downtown with her husband and two young children. “I’m not saying our fish isn’t big, but he’s got more important battles.�

Shenika Simpson was watching her granddaughter at a playground in her Grier Heights neighborhood, which she described as “drug infested.� An unemployed single mother, Simpson said that Obama “can’t just jump in the chair and fix everything within a year.�

Should Obama do more to specifically help black people? “I feel he is doing it,� Simpson said. “It’s always going to be hard to find jobs. You got to go to school, graduate, do stuff to make it today. You can’t depend on them to do it for you.�

Gianna Butterfield, a graphic designer, said that while groups such as the Black Caucus used to speak for African-Americans, “Now we have Obama, and he seems to be speaking a little better.�

South of downtown, outside of a convenience store where cigarette butts littered the ground near a “No Loitering� sign, military retiree James Norris said Obama “can’t do nothing for one nationality over another.�

James Norris is shown in Charlotte, a banking center walloped by the Great Recession, where unemployment just hit a 20-year high and as many as one in three blacks are out of work. Norris maintains Obama “can’t do nothing for one nationality over another.�

The mayor of Charlotte, Anthony Foxx, was in tune with the mood of his constituents. “Do I feel pressure to bring unemployment numbers down? Absolutely,� he said. “But I feel that pressure for everyone I represent. In terms of a black agenda, it’s hard to peel out the black community from the overall things that we’re doing.�

CHARLOTTE (AP) – In this banking center walloped by the Great Recession, where unemployment just hit a 20-year high and as many as one in three black people are out of work, blacks could easily be frustrated with President Barack Obama’s insistence that a rising economic tide for all will lift African-American boats.

Yet despite surging discontent among some black advocates over Obama’s refusal to specifically target rising black unemployment, it’s hard to find average black folks here who disagree with the president’s approach. “He has been addressing the black agenda as far as health care, education, all that,� said Tamera Gomillion, a bill collector who has been struggling to pay her own bills. “It took eight years to get into this mess, so it’s going to take time to get us out,� she said. “I voted for him, and I’ll do it again.�

The drumbeat for Obama to embrace a black agenda grew loudest Saturday, when PBS host Tavis Smiley convened a public meeting of prominent black activists and intellectuals in Chicago to demand policies tailored to the needs of blacks who have been hit disproportionately hard by the recession.

Obama has refused from the beginning of his candidacy to separate the solutions to black America’s economic problems from the country’s at large. After he settled into his presidency, this stance placed him at odds with activists and the Congressional Black Caucus who once were the voice of black America.

But now, “nobody can go to Obama and say, ’This is what African-Americans want,�’ said David Bositis, an expert on black politics at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies.

He called the debate an “awkward moment� for the CBC: “All of a sudden, there’s someone else who represents African-Americans more, if you go by what African-Americans say, than they do.�

That certainly seemed to be the case in the Charlotte metropolitan area, which

Sheriff wins approval for various projects

Ex-district attorney blames innocence project adviser MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WINSTON-SALEM – Tom Keith, the former district attorney of Forsyth County, is now putting the blame for the failure to test some evidence in the 1995 beating of a woman at the Silk Plant Forest store squarely on Jim Coleman, the adviser to the Duke Innocence Project.

And in a separate twist this week, Kalvin Smith, the man imprisoned for beating Jill Marker, agreed Thursday to give a DNA sample to police, presumably to compare against evidence that police now plan to test. Smith has maintained his innocence.

Both developments are rooted in the announcement made two weeks ago

by Winston-Salem Police Chief Scott Cunningham, who revealed that cigarette butts and other evidence had never been sent for testing. The other evidence was a cardboard box with blood and hair on it, and clothing belonging to Marker, the Silk Plant Forest manager who was severely beaten in the head.

Marker is now blind and lives under 24-hour care in

Probation officer faces multiple charges LUMBERTON (AP) — North Carolina officials say a probation officer has been fired after she was charged with several crimes, including unlawfully having sex with someone on probation.

The Fayetteville Observer reported Saturday that court documents and police reports show 45-year-old Katrina Milstein of Fairmont faces drug, weapons and conspiracy charges as well as a charge of filing a false police report.

Lumberton police say Milstein admitted having a relationship with a probationer after he was seen driving her car. Milstein was not his probation officer.

Milstein was released on bail Thursday. A phone listing for her could not be found.

The investigation led police to arrest 17 other people including three on probation. None were assigned to Milstein.

2 found dead in Chapel Hill duplex fire CHAPEL HILL (AP) – Two people have been found dead after a fire at a North Carolina duplex.

Chapel Hill fire and police officers are investigating the cause of Friday night’s blaze. Investigators did not immediately release the names of the victims and a cause of death has not been determined.

Property owner John McPhaul told WRAL-TV in Raleigh that he had rented both units of the duplex to a retired married couple in their 60s.

McPhaul said the wife told him they slept in separate units because of the husband’s snoring.

McPhaul said the couple moved to the area about 18 months ago.

Ohio. Smith was convicted in December 1997 and is serving a sentence of 23 to 29 years in prison.

The case has come under intense public scrutiny.

Coleman and the Duke Innocence Project became involved in 2003; a five-part Winston-Salem Journal series in 2004 raised numerous questions about the police investigation and prosecution, as well as the work done by Smith’s original attorney.

Keith said in August 2007 that he was directing Assistant District Attorney David Hall to put in a request for testing. After Cunningham’s recent announcement, Keith and city officials were initially at a loss to explain why the evidence was not sent for testing. The State Bureau of Investigation said it didn’t receive any evidence in the case from the city in 2007.

This week, Keith said that he reviewed e-mail exchanges from the summer of 2007 and realized that, at Coleman’s request, he decided not to send the items.

The e-mails, Keith said, make it clear that Coleman asked that the evidence not be tested.

Free, open political discussion is truly American Recently, there have been letters to the editor complaining about the Tea Party and President Obama.

A few letters are from senior citizens attempting to indict anyone disagreeing with the president’s policies and programs, and they also demean the Tea Party activists. Why? President Obama is our president. He was elected president in our national elections in 2008 and will continue in that office through January 2013 inauguration day.

If re-elected, Obama will serve another four years as president.

Meanwhile, as always, there are those who disagree with the administrations’ decisions, ideas, statements and policies. What is wrong with that?

The differences of opinions must be expressed, discussed and debated for the good of the country. What is wrong with that?

Major deficits, national security, the economy and health care concern each person (and our future generations). Those concerns must be reviewed and

fought against or supported.

What is wrong in that?

In total, the United States of America is a republic, based on our Constitution and Bill of Rights. There are three branches of our government : executive, judicial and legislative. Eligible voters decide who is elected to the executive and legislative. The judicial is mainly appointed (i.e. the Supreme Court, etc. ).

As citizens, we can voice our thoughts and opinions freely, without fear of reprisal or con-

demnation. We enjoy freedom , thanks to those who have sacrificed in many wars. What’s not to like about all that?

Parents, safety remain keys in schools

lassrooms in the 21st century, particularly in Guilford County Schools, are dramatically different than the those in which the grandparents, or even the parents, of today’s students were educated. Some examples: • State and federal programs enacted as a method of making educators accountable for students’ success have made testing a fact of life in public education today, and testing is being used more than ever before as a way to measure that accountability. Tests also are used to evaluate existing academic programs and develop new ones, identify students with special educational needs and compare a school system’s performance against other systems.

• Across the district, advances in technology have banished primitive chalkboards and bulky projectors of the past. Teachers now use equipment such as “smartboards” or “whiteboards” for instruction.

Many teachers use a wireless-equipped tablet to move exercises and Web pages to a large screen, and students can take courses online and in some classrooms.

• Magnet schools are one of the alternative schools settings the district uses to motivate students and to help troubled students succeed.

Offerings range from several specialized academies to a special education center in Greensboro to a Newcomer School. The Guilford County district has 50 magnet programs in 44 schools – 18 elementary schools, 10 middle schools, one high school and one alternative school.

A six-day series this week in The High Point Enterprise by David Nivens shines a spotlight on education in the 21st century.

School leadership, while more demanding than it may have been in the 20th century, remains a key factor. In addition to being a school’s lead administrator and manager, the modern principal serves as a school instructional leader and is responsible for leading school reforms. “I am like the head of a company,” Lori M. Bolds, principal at Welborn Academy of Science and Technology, told Nivens, “but it’s really a whole-school effort. ... It’s about the team. You have to have a good team for a good school.” And good teams are exactly what Guilford County Schools is trying to build, especially for those schools that have been labeled as low-performers through testing and other grading systems.

As you might imagine, some things haven’t changed that much. Experts continue to insist that educators need to increase academic rigor in the public schools and community colleges, with more emphasis on reading and writing, and less on test preparation.

The achievement gap between white students and African-American, Hispanic and Native American students in North Carolina public schools has not changed in 10 years, according to the N.C. Justice Center, a nonprofit advocacy group for the poor.

Many public school math and science teachers do not have degrees in the subjects they teach.

Parent involvement, which is sadly lacking in many schools, still is a necessity. That’s why GCS Superintendent Mo Green has a proposal in his strategic plan to open a parent university program in 2011 aimed at helping parents become full partners in the education of their children so they can seek higher achievement with them.

That team effort – students, teachers, administrators, parents, community all working together – will be difficult to achieve, however, until all are satisfied that schools provide a safe and appropriate environment for learning. Discipline remains the 500-pound gorilla in the corner of the room.

Ensuring everybody’s team makes Big Dance is easy

J

im Haney, executive director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, says members would “love to see the tournament double to 128.”

Haney told NCAA officials last June that “first, there are a lot of good teams worthy of making the NCAA field, and second, the size of 64 or 65 has been in place for a number of years.” Then, he revealed what probably is the primary reason – more postseason bids may help coaches keep their jobs.

The current 65-team format – 18.7 percent of the 347 NCAA Division I basketball schools – has been in place since 2001, when the current play-in concept was instituted to determine whether the 64th or 65th team would play in the tournament’s first round.

From 1939-1950, the NCAA tournament field had only eight teams. In 1951 and ’52, the field doubled to 16. From 1953 to 1974, the field varied between 22 and 25 teams before expanding to 32 teams for 1975 through ’78. In 1979, the field had 40 teams, then in 1980, ’81 and ’82, the field grew to 48 teams. In 1983, there were 52 teams in the field with four play-in games and, the following year, there were 53 teams with five play-in games. In 1985, the field expanded again – to 64 teams.

Prior to 1975, only one team from each conference could qualify for the NCAA tournament.

Here’s a different approach to changing the NCAA team selection process: U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan doesn’t have the power to pull it off, unless, of course, he can talk President Obama into a government takeover of the NCAA (ala General Motors), but I believe he’s on to something with his idea that teams with graduation rates of less than 40 percent be banned from postseason play.

“Frankly, that’s a low bar and not many teams would be ineligible,” Duncan said Wednesday. “Over time, we should set a higher bar.” The Associated Press story said that, if the proposal were put into practice this year, a dozen teams – Arkansas Pine-Bluff, Baylor, California, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Louisville, Maryland, Missouri, New Mexico State, Tennessee and Washington – in the NCAA tournament would have been ineligible. The figures come from NCAA rates compiled by the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at Central

Florida, and USA Today reported they do not include transfers or players who leave early for the NBA. All this talk – on most of the TV and radio sports shows these days – about expanding the tournament OPINION sparked my memories of my sports writing days Tom in Ohio. At that time, a Blount half-century ago (and ■■■ perhaps they still do it), every team – regardless of its conference standing or its overall record – played in the opening round of the tournament. I recall vividly the leadership style of Vern Hoffman, coach at Mansfield Senior High, who employed a wide variety of lineups for games in December and early January to find out which group played best together. Hoffman didn’t worry, at that point in the season, about the won-lost record. As the team jelled in mid-January, the record would improve dramatically and, as tournament time neared, Mansfield Senior High usually would sport a 16-7 or 15-8 or even a 14-9 record, gaining a fourth, fifth or even sixth seed. Then, once the tournament began, the Tygers would march through the bracket, more often than not winding up (and many years winning) the sectional title game. Much of the time, Hoffman’s teams advanced well into the division or regional tournaments. Hoffman often would get Coach of the Year recognition because his teams, with less impressive records than most of those ranked in the polls, advanced so far in the tournaments.

Perhaps that’s what the NCAA should do: Let all teams start over after the regular season schedule and conference tournament games and hold a 347-team Big Dance. Wow! Try to imagine that bracket. Think about how much money you could make in the office pool.

Coaches still would complain, however, because seeding 347 teams would be an even bigger mess than the current method of determining which teams on the bubble make it to the tournament and which get shuffled off to the NIT or the College Basketball Invitational or the College Insider.com tournaments.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Who will report the news if media trend continues?

T

he news business is in free fall. Ad revenues for newspapers are dropping precipitously and papers are responding by cutting staff, eliminating circulation coverage and reducing news content. It is no wonder subscriptions, especially among those under 40, are dwindling.

The future for newspapers is so threatened we are told some papers are considering becoming nonprofits to receive charitable grants and there is even a move for legislation to provide subsidies to the industry, a horrible idea for many reasons.

TV broadcasters, while not experiencing quite so severe a drop in ad revenues, are facing threats just as serious. The Federal Communications Commission, the regulatory body for broadcasters, is proposing that TV stations give up their

broadcasting channels so airwaves can be used for Wi-Fi, Wi-Max and other broadband Internet services.

Advocates say MY SPIN the demand is growing so rapTom idly that the TV Campbell frequencies are ■■■ needed to serve the public. These are public airwaves, after all, and broadcasters are only licensed to use them.

Only 12.6 percent of the populous actually receives over-theair signals from TV stations. In North Carolina this number is as low as 10 percent. Viewers now watch from cable or satellite providers so proponents say there is no longer the need for broadcasters to occupy these frequencies.

Such a move would serve to guarantee profits for cable and satellite operators, making them the ultimate gatekeepers for the entertainment and news that comes into your home. It will hasten the demise of network offerings on local TV outlets. CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox will tell their local affiliates they no longer need them to deliver their programming, creating huge holes in weekly schedules.

The compensation these networks pay stations will automatically cease, programming costs will escalate and TV stations will find themselves at the mercy of a cable industry that can control what tier they are on and how much they charge to transmit the signals of local stations.

In addition to another government-created monopoly, this is just bad policy for

dissemination of news to the public. If both TV and newspapers have their legs cut out from under them and are no longer profitable, we must ask who will pay for and who will control news reporting.

We count on the media to be the check and balance to government, big business and other powerful entities.

Would we have changed direction on Vietnam, Watergate, the financial crisis and other cover-ups if the national media had not reported them? In North Carolina would we have known about public corruption, weather threats, health care and other crises if our newspapers and TV stations failed to tell us?

The news media are far from perfect, but they serve as the public conscience, our watchdogs. Some say the public will turn to Facebook, Twitter,

blogs and other Internet providers for news, but none have the same credibility, standards or independence as those in our news media. Besides, no reputable news organization exclusively using these media is profitable.

We don’t know how all this will shake out, but we do know it is essential to have a strong, vibrant, self supported fourth estate, without government subsidies or undue regulations. The First Amendment of our Constitution speaks to the importance of free speech, but current situations beg the question who will report the news?

The Founders Just how Christian did the Founding Fathers want the US to be?

BY GARY SCOTT SMITH

O

ne of today’s most contentious culture wars is over the religious commitments of our nation’s founders. Were most of them orthodox Christians, deists, or agnostics?

Scholarly books, college classes, radio talk shows, and blogs all debate this issue, and the Texas Board of Education recently joined the fray.

Because of Texas’ large number of students, its huge educational fund, and its statewide curriculum guidelines, this board strongly influences what textbooks are published in the United States. Earlier this year the board reviewed the state’s social studies curriculum, and its conservative Christian members injected more analysis of religion into the guidelines, including assessment of whether the United States was founded as a Christian nation and how Christian were the founders.

This issue is so heated that it was the subject of an extensive article in a recent New York Times Magazine, titled, “How Christian Were the Founders?”

Conservative Christian authors such as David Barton, Peter Marshall Jr., and Tim LaHaye contend that most of the founders were devout Christians who sought to establish a Christian nation. Isaac Kramnick and R. Laurence Moore in “The Godless Constitution” and Brooke Allen in “Moral Minority: Our Skeptical Founding Fathers” counter that very few founders were orthodox Christians. They and others often generalize from famous founders, such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Thomas Paine, to argue that most founders were deists who wanted strict separation of church and state.

The truth lies between these two positions. Almost every major founder belonged to a Christian congregation, although a sizable number of them were not committed Christians whose faith strongly influenced their political philosophy and actions.

Two recent books edited by Daniel Dreisbach, Jeffry Morrison, and Mark David Hall – “The Founders on God and Government” and “The Forgotten Founders on Religion and Public Life” – carefully explained the religious backgrounds, convictions, and contri-

butions of numerous founders. They show that many who played leading roles in the nation’s Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress, and the devising and ratification of the Constitution were devout Christians, as evident in their church attendance, commitment to prayer and Bible reading, belief in God’s direction of earthly affairs, and conduct.

Among others, these books discuss John Witherspoon, James Wilson, Samuel Adams, George Mason, Oliver Ellsworth, Patrick Henry, John Jay, Benjamin Rush, and Roger Sherman.

A third book, which is currently being written, will explain how the faith of Congregationalist John Hancock, Quaker John Dickinson, Presbyterian Elias Boudinot, and Episcopalian Charles Pinckney, and others helped shape their political views, policies, and practice. Abigail Adams and Catholics Charles Carroll, Daniel Carroll,

and John Carroll also were dedicated Christians. Moreover, Jay, Boudinot, Pinckney, and numerous other founders served as officers of the American Bible Society.

Even many of those often labeled as deists – Washington, Franklin, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and Alexander Hamilton – do not fit the standard definition of deism, which asserts that after creating the world, God has had no more involvement with it. Deism views God as a transcendent first cause who is not immanent, triune, fully personal, or sovereign over human affairs.

All of these founders, however, repeatedly discussed God’s providence and frequently affirmed the value of prayer. Their conviction that God intervened in human affairs and directed history has led some scholars to call these founders “warm” or “enlightened” deists, but these terms seem like oxymorons. A better label for their

position is theistic rationalism.

As professor Gregg Frazer explains, this hybrid belief system combines elements of “natural religion, Protestant Christianity, and rationalism – with rationalism as the controlling element.” Those espousing this perspective believed in a powerful, benevolent Creator who established the laws by which the universe operates. They also believed that God answered prayer, that people best served Him by living a moral life, and that individuals would be rewarded or punished in the afterlife based on their earthly deeds. Only a few founders, most notably Thomas Paine and Ethan Allan, can properly be called deists.

Despite their theological differences, virtually all the founders maintained that morality depended on religion (which for them meant Christianity).

They were convinced that their new republic could succeed only if its citizens were virtuous. For both ideological and pragmatic reasons, the founders opposed establishing one denomination as a national church. However, they provided public support of Christianity through various means, including establishing Christian denominations at the state level, passing state laws restricting public office holding to Christians and punishing blasphemy, issuing proclamations of thanksgiving to God and calls for fasting, using federal money to finance missions to Indians and permitting Christian congregations to use governmental facilities, both at the state and federal level, for their worship services.

While we must be careful not to overstate the role of religion in the founding of our nation and the Christian convictions of the founders in textbooks or public discourse, the tendency in many scholarly circles has been to ignore or discount these matters. The battle over how Christian the founders were is likely to continue in Texas and across the country. Fortunately, meticulous scholarship is providing a much more accurate picture of the founders’ religious commitments.

Tea Party fears aren’t based on race of president

BY CLAIRE BATES

L

eonard Pitts recently wrote an article on a commentary by Keith Olbermann about Tea Party participants and the part the race of President Obama plays in their protest.

Olbermann’s contention was that it was all about race. Pitts pointed out that race was part of the equation but that it was deeper than that and people were scared because we are witnessing a change in the power structure of the country.

This may be true, but I do not think it is why most people are scared.

No doubt, there are some “tea partiers” who are motivated by race, some partially and sadly, some completely. However, these are on the fringe of the movement. Pitts is right, people are scared because they see their country changing.

However, he is wrong about the reason. It is not about power between the races, those tides have been turning since the Civil Rights Movement began; the work is not done.

We have a long way to go but it is underway.

What worries most people is the realization that our two social contracts – one that says if you work hard and are smart

GUEST COLUMN

---

with your money, you can keep the rewards of your labor and the second that says we will take care of those who can’t take care of themselves – are on a collision course.

Our situation is unsustainable. It is a problem with democracy. In time, people (and corporations) realize they can vote themselves large amounts of money from the treasury.

Eventually, taxes will become unbearable or services will have to be cut.

When we reach this point,

there will be economic and civil uncertainty. People will be scared. What happens at this point? Our current economic crisis taught us that we quickly give up freedoms for security. People know that once those freedoms are gone, they will most likely be gone forever. As Pitts points out, “no one ever volunteers to return to the rear of the bus.” This is especially true of governments.

This is the power shift that is troubling to many.

Of course, this is something that should have been realized before now. Many administrations, both Democratic and Republican, have contributed

to our debt and deficits, the former Bush administration being a major offender and the current administration following suit.

However, I am not sure it matters who is in charge. This problem is inherent in a democracy. The founders of our country knew this and worked hard to put checks and balances in place to keep a democracy on track. They understood from the beginning the tight rope on which a democracy teeters. I hope that future generations do not have to learn this lesson the hard way.

Greensboro plans two renewable energy projects MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

GREENSBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Two new city projects will put unused energy to work.

In an effort partially funded with federal stimulus dollars, the city will install an underwater turbine at its Mitchell Water Treatment Facility that will generate electricity.

In a separate project, solar hot water panels will be built atop the planned Greensboro Aquatics Center.

The two projects are just the latest in a variety energy-efficiency ideas rolled out by the city in recent years.

This month the city finished the construction phase of a $6 million contract that will save the city an estimated $550,000 a year in energy costs. The city has also earned more than $100,000 in rebates from Duke Energy for those upgrades.

The project funded things like power-saving fixtures, new air-handling equipment and solar hot water panels at fire stations and city hall.

Now the city is on to other energy projects â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and this time they involve water. As part of a U.S. Department of Energy stimulus grant soon to be received by the

city, the Water Resources department will install a $722,000 hydroelectric turbine. Greensboroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water department will pick up half the costs of the project.

The city uses a series of valves to slow down the water that flows, under the power of gravity and pumps, into the Mitchell plant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is energy there that could be useful for something, but you have to get rid of it before it goes into the plant,â&#x20AC;? said Danny Briggs, a water resources project engineer.

That energy can be used to rotate a turbine, that will in turn create electricity.

College credit New law leaves parents facing credit card decisions for students NEW YORK (AP) – Choosing what kind of plastic a college-bound student should carry may seem like an easy decision to make after all the work it takes to pick a school.

But a new law making it harder for students to get their own credit cards means most parents now have to choose whether to help their kids get one, or send them off with less flexible choices like debit or prepaid cards.

The right choice could help a graduate enter the working world with a strong understanding of how credit works and a solid credit rating. The wrong choice could be costly, not only in terms of how much

debt gets charged up, but also in the potential damage to the credit histories of both parents and student.

One part of the new credit card law says applicants under 21 must prove they can pay the bill, or have a co-signer to open an account. But most parents want their kids to have some card available, at least for emergencies.

That leaves parents to debate whether they should co-sign, or get their child a card linked to their own account? They might also ask if a debit card or prepaid card would suffice?

The answers depend upon several factors, including the student’s

spending habits, whether they have any income, and the strength of the parent’s own credit history.

“This whole situation with college students and credit is starting to turn into a thorny issue,” said Bruce McClary of Clearpoint Credit Counseling Solutions. “A parent really has to gauge their comfort level, in how they observe their child as someone who manages money responsibly.”

College campuses were targeted as a prime market by credit card companies in recent decades.

They dangled freebies like T-shirts and pizza in exchange for filling out applications, and consequently undergraduates developed a serious credit habit.

In the 2008 spring semester, 84 percent of undergraduates carried at least one credit card, up from 76 percent in 2004, accord-

ing to the most recent data from student loan provider Sallie Mae. What’s more, the study found half of college students had four or more cards, and seniors graduated with average card debt of $4,100, up from $2,900 in 2004.

Even as parents want to help their kids avoid graduating with a boatload of debt, they also know the importance of a credit history for their future.

Atlanta residents Kimberly and Mark DeMeza had an eye toward helping their oldest son, Kevin, establish a credit history when they made him an authorized user on her Visa account three years ago. That also made it easier to track his spending at the University of Florida.

“I also thought that it would help him get used to having a credit card,” Kimberly said.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

----

The DeMezas have benefited from the fact that Kevin isn’t often tempted to spend. “I don’t really have that much to buy,” he said.

But for students more inclined to shop, access to the credit limit on a parent’s card could result in some unpleasant surprises when statements arrive.

Kevin, now 21, had opportunities to open his own accounts, but he didn’t submit the applications stuffed into his bag at the bookstore or displayed at the student union. “I don’t have any income, so I’d better not,” said the biology major. Having a card no one else kept tabs on would also provide temptation to overspend, he added.

The experience has been positive enough that when Kevin’s brother, Brian, heads to college this fall, it will likely be with a similar arrangement.

Artists capture smiles in and out of studio

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – It only took a quick flash for Rick Gibbons to fall in love with photography.

It may not have been the career he imagined for himself after earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology from UNC-Chapel Hill, or after he landed a job at a furniture store in High Point.

But meeting a photographer from the former Archdale studio Photographs and Memories and watching that photographer work magic at Gibbons’ own wedding changed that.

“I became buddies (with the photographer), and he let me kind of play around in the darkroom,” he said.

“I soon bought into the business with him. I eventually bought him out in 1985.”

He didn’t have any professional training at the time, but it was the experience of capturing peoples’ happiest moments that gave him a love for the profession. The practice and technical skills followed, he said.

“It was almost a magical experience to be able to turn a negative into a picture,” said Gibbons, a High Point native. “That whole experience of being in the darkroom and seeing the faces come to life in that photo, that’s what did it for me.”

Meanwhile, Doug Peninger, who has a bachelor’s degree in sacred music, was navigating his way through careers in churches and church musical groups.

After a while, he decided he needed a change of pace as well.

“After I worked for a church full time, I just decided it wasn’t what I wanted to do,” said Peninger, a Charlotte native. “I didn’t have any experience, but I got into photography kind of

as a trial by fire.”

Photography seemed like an unusual fit for Peninger – just as it had for Gibbons long ago. Because of that, Gibbons decided to let Peninger join the company in 1993, and the two combined their own talents to form Studio 104, which moved to 3710 N. Main St. in High Point in 2005.

Learning the art and skills of photography on their own must have worked as the lobby of the studio is decorated with awards that both Gibbons and Peninger, now the only two photographers in High Point that are part of the Professional

Photographers of America organization, have won over the years. Peninger recently won the Kodak Gallery Award for his print titled, “Filling Station.”

But the two men say all of their awards may be secondary to another accomplishment they made through the Professional Photographers of North Carolina Charities in 2002. When the PPNC was looking for a charity to sponsor, Peninger suggested and introduced Operation Smile to the association.

Funds raised through the charity provide surgery for needy children in other countries who have cleft

palettes, Peninger said.

“This was just a natural link to be able to get something that our clients, who so readily have the ability to smile, don’t even think about,” he said. “Since we ask kids to smile every day, it just made sense.”

Now, the PPNC pours thousands of dollars into Operation Smile each year.

Gibbons and Peninger continue to support the charity on their own by holding special costume days in October each year. Parents can bring their children in for a free Halloween photo in exchange for a $20 donation to the charity, Peninger

said. With those funds, the studio usually is able to fund two surgeries per year through the organization, Peninger said.

And like the two photographers, who once thought their career interests lied in other, vastly different areas, changed their careers with the flash of a camera, Operation Smile changes a child’s life, they said.

“In about 10 minutes, a surgeon can do the procedure and change that child’s world,” he said. “Suddenly, everything is different for them.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

NEW YORK (AP) – PepsiCo plans to remove sugary drinks from schools worldwide, following the success of programs in the U.S. aimed at cutting down on childhood obesity.

The company said Tuesday it will remove fullcalorie, sweetened drinks from schools in more than 200 countries by 2012, marking the first such move by a major soft drink producer.

Both PepsiCo Inc., the world’s second-biggest soft drink maker, and No. 1 player Coca-Cola Co. adopted guidelines to stop selling sugary drinks in U.S. schools in 2006.

The World Heart Federation has been negotiating with soft drink makers to have them remove sugary beverages from schools for the past year as it looks to fight a rise in childhood obesity, which can lead to diabetes, heart problems and other ailments.

PepsiCo’s move is what the group had been seeking because it affects students through age 18, said Pekka Puska, president of the group, a federation of heart associations from around the world. He said he hopes other companies feel pressured to make similar moves.

Used stuff

CINCINNATI (AP) – Spring for many homeowners means confronting all the things that have filled up the closets, basement and garage over the past year. As the late comedian George Carlin used to say: “Your house is a pile of stuff with a cover on it.”

Getting rid of that stuff has always been tricky – especially if you hope to come away with some cash.

Today, because of the Internet and the recession, there are more options than ever for trying to sell used items.

To newspaper classified ads, garage sales and flea markets, add Facebook, Craig’s List, eBay and other online trading sites. To pawn shops and consignment shops, add an expanding array of resale stores that pay cash on the spot.

Laura Deaton Morarity, who was preparing to move recently to a new public relations job in Seattle, was a little stunned at how much she had acquired in her Cincinnatiarea home after living there just four years.

“It was just a ton of stuff. My husband and I just decided, ‘We’re selling everything’ except our clothing, books and some keepsakes,” she recalled.

But in the middle of a bad winter, how do you do that quickly?

Her solution: a virtual yard sale on Facebook. She posted a photo album on the social networking site and alerted her friends and family, who also got their Facebook friends involved in the buying.

In 24 hours, Morarity sold everything she listed: couch, chair, dining room set, loveseats, TV stand and more.

“It was really kind of shockAP ing how fast it went,” she said, adding that she priced to sell Lena Elam (left) sells clothes to employee Lise Hopkins at a Plato’s Closet in Cincinnati. but came away with enough cash and savings on moving Corp. has been opening dozens stuff to sell, so employees try ter, a 16-store chain based in expenses for a head start on of new resale stores, including to make sure every buyer unDanville, Calif., also said that stocking a new home. sales are up while fewer people Plato’s Closet, and outlets that derstands they can also bring Tighter household budgets their own used clothes – the are offering their sofas, dining buy and sell used children’s mean that not only are more chain looks for still-trendy, clothing, sporting goods and room sets and other furniture people buying used, but they new-looking items – for cash musical items.

European Web piracy PayPal to double costs €10 billion staff in Asia

BRUSSELS (AP) – Europeans downloaded €10 billion worth of pirated music, film, television shows and software from the Web in 2008, an entertainment industry study said Wednesday.

The International Chamber of Commerce said its report showed that digital piracy could escalate and cost media and entertainment industries €240 billion in retail revenue and 1.2 million jobs by 2015.

The 2015 estimate is a worst-case scenario, the study said, based on consumer Web traffic growing 24 percent annually.

“For us, file sharing is another word for theft,” Agnete Haaland, the head of the International Actors Federation told reporters.

Teens frequently pass music and movies to their friends without realizing that they are illegally sharing copyrighted material, said William Maunier, who leads the UNI trade union representing media company workers.

“You have to educate young people,” he said.

Industry representatives did not say how they thought growing Internet piracy should be tackled, saying they just want people to see the extent of the problem.

They said they also wanted to show the costs to the European Parliament which last year tried unsuccessfully to challenge France’s tough measures against illegal downloaders.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy had advocated a “three strikes and you’re out” rule, under which Internet use would be tracked and users caught downloading would be warned twice before their Internet access would be cut off for a year.

Britain is also considering similar rules.

The report written by Tera Consultants said that 8.5 million people in the European Union work in creative industries such as television, publishing and radio.

It claims that over 185,000 jobs were lost because of digital piracy in 2008.

SINGAPORE (AP) – PayPal, the online payments unit of Internet auction site operator eBay Inc., plans to double its staff in Asia to 2,000 by the end of the year.

“Asia is our fastest growing market, and we absolutely expect that trend to continue,” company President Scott Thompson said Wednesday. “This is going to be a massive market, and we look forward to having a really big business here.”

PayPal’s fourth-quarter revenue outside the U.S. was $364 million, or 46 percent of overall revenue.

Thompson declined to comment on recent Chinese media reports that PayPal is in negotiations for a partnership with e-commerce retailer Alibaba Group, which is 39 percent owned by Yahoo Inc. PayPal said Wednesday it has partnered with China

UnionPay – which operates interbank transaction settlement for bankcards in China and the region – and Singapore’s DBS bank to provide online payment services to the burgeoning Internet shopping market in Asia.

China UnionPay has issued 2.1 billion bank cards in 10 countries, and its members will be able to use PayPal by the third quarter to make Internet purchases around the world, PayPal said.

Some 4 million DBS customers will be able to debit their bank accounts to fund PayPal accounts by the middle of the year.

PayPal’s Asian operations recently hit a snag in another country, India, where the company has been blocking personal payments as it works out questions posed

by Indian regulators.

Listening to ‘the job whisperer’

BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

Job seekers can learn who is hiring, who might be and when that might happen by studying multiple information sources.

The most accurate of these sources is “the job whisperer,” a term coined for the economy by staffing firm Randstad NA, headquartered in Atlanta.

You don’t have to be an economist to ferret out information from the job whisperer, which appears in several guises. These include intricacies of company upheaval (“disruption”) and growth in company investments.

Gaining familiarity with industries, industry niches and occupations that became casualties of the recession will help you avoid fields that are almost extinct.

‘RESTRUCTURING ECONOMICS’ Strategy consultant Rosemarie Truman, managing partner at RHT Consulting L.L.C., in Leesburg, Va., has conducted extensive research for large staffing firms by looking for “disruption” in market dynamics for increased opportunities. Her “restructuring economics” helps job seekers and staffing firms find: • companies growing by more than 10 percent to 30 percent and aren’t overvalued; • companies that have restructured during the recession without creating ill will by slashing salaries and benefits; • companies whose innovations created significant

SPECIAL | WORKWISE FEATURES

Randstad NA’s senior vice president for the New England Market, Shirley Jones, and staffing consultant Mark Cote are hearing good news from “the job whisperer.” They’re based in Bedford, N.H. growth breakthroughs, such as Google’s directly connecting a cell phone with money in its Android Platform; • industry segments which have experienced “enormous disruption given their market dynamics, such as pharmaceuticals, with $70 billion in patents coming up for ‘re-patenting’ and erosion by generics.”

Economist Mary Harris, who chairs the Business Department at Cabrini College in Radnor, Pa., would add that you should ferret out information about

which companies are investing, because the amount will increase as employers become more confident about the economy. When they see sustained growth, hiring is likely to occur.

The method Truman uses requires scouring both formal and informal sources for pertinent information. “Informal sources are actually better,” she comments. “You get to hear it from employees/ex-employees. These include my3cents.com, glassdoor.com, jobvent.com and sister sites tailored to different indus-

try segments, like vault.com.”

Formal information uncovers a company’s relevant changes, such as huge layoffs and decreases in compensation and benefits (seekingalpha.com).

ECONOMIC PREDICTORS Although career counselors frequently tell people to follow their passion, recent economic trends would make having more than one essential. Watch out for passions that might give you trouble. Max Bublitz, chief strategist at SCM Advisors L.L.C., in

San Francisco, Calif., points to the severe impact of the housing-bubble burst on the market.

Bublitz expects most jobs related to the housing industry to be lost.

Based in Bedford, N.H., Shirley Jones, senior vice president for the New England Market of Randstad NA, says decreased unemployment and consistent reports of job growth are important. She’s also been observing trends among clients – “many major and smaller companies across industries that have experienced ups and downs and are now experiencing a need to bring workers in, temporary and permanent, because things are picking up.” Specific areas she cites are IT, manufacturing, financial services, professional and business services, healthcare and transportation.

Where should you not look?

Truman advises staying away from “stagnant sectors or those that shrank, such as credit card companies; those that didn’t innovate, including high-tech companies; those that haven’t had disruption; and those that restructured unstrategically by slashing and burning employees.”

Some of these methods will be more attractive to you than others. Find at least one you can use.

March sadness

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – In an NCAA Tournament full of upsets, Northern Iowa pulled off the biggest one: The Panthers took down mighty Kansas.

Playing with poise down the stretch and getting another big 3-pointer from Ali Farokhmanesh, Northern Iowa pulled off one of the biggest NCAA upsets in years by knocking No. 1 overall seed Kansas from the bracket with a program-defining 69-67 win on Saturday.

Northern Iowa (30-4) won the tempo tug-ofwar, grounding the highflying Jayhawks with in-their-jersey defense, then withstood a furious rally to become the first team to beat a No. 1 seed in the second round

since UAB and Alabama did it to Kentucky and Stanford in 2004.

There have been 10 double-digits seeds to pull upsets this year; eight in the first round.

No. 10 Saint Mary’s beat Villanova on Saturday, and No. 11 Washington beat New Mexico.

But the ninth-seeded Panthers pulled the shocker of them all.

Farokhmanesh, Northern Iowa’s first-round hero, had the biggest play of all, burying a 3-pointer in transition with the shot clock still in the 30s to end a dominating start-to-finish win that sends the Panthers to the round of 16 for the first time. UNI will face the Michigan State-Maryland winner in St. Louis.

Blazers burn Wolfpack, 72-52 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) – Elijah Millsap had 27 points and 15 rebounds, and UAB never trailed for the second consecutive NIT game in beating N.C. State 72-52 on Saturday.

UAB (25-8), which tied the school record for wins in a season, will host North Carolina on Tuesday in the tournament quarterfinals.

The Blazers made eight of their first 11 shots while jumping out to a 19-5 lead. They extended their advantage to 26-7, as the Wolfpack committed nine turnovers in the first 12 minutes.

UAB led 37-17 at halftime. It was the fewest firsthalf points scored by N.C. State (20-16) this season.

Against Coastal Carolina in the opening round, the Blazers went up 8-0 and led the whole way.

Millsap scored 16 points in the first 11 minutes of the second half, helping UAB build a 60-33 cushion.

Dennis Horner had 23 points and eight rebounds for N.C. State.

AP

North Carolina guard Larry Drew II (11) forces a layup past Mississippi State forward Jarvis Varnado with two seconds to play to help the Tar Heels post a 76-74 victory in their second-round NIT game in Starkville, Miss., on Saturday. UNC advances to Tuesday’s third-round game at Alabama-Birmingham.

Drew’s layup lifts UNC in NIT thriller STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) – Larry Drew II kept North Carolina alive in the postseason.

He hit a shot over center Jarvis Varnado with two seconds to play to give the Tar Heels a 76-74 victory over Mississippi State on Saturday in the second round of the NIT. The 6-foot-2 point guard drove to the basket and was able to get the shot over the 69 Varnado, who was second in the nation this season with 4.8 blocks per game.

“I saw Jarvis on my right, and I just wanted to give it a chance to go in,” Drew said. “It was all instinct. I just wanted to get a shot off.”

Will Graves made a contested 3-pointer – his fourth of the game – with 31 seconds left to give the Tar Heels a 74-72 lead, Barry Stewart tied it for the Bulldogs (24-12) with two free throws, setting the stage for Drew’s game-winner.

“After they hit their free throws, I told Larry just to push it,” UNC coach Roy Williams said.

He did just that, sending a high-arcing, left-hander over Varnado, the NCAA’s career blocks leader.

“He was coming at me, and I knew he was going to take the shot,” Varnado said.” He made one heck of a layup, give him credit.”

North Carolina (18-16) will face Alabama-Birmingham on Tuesday, with a trip to New York and the semifinals on the line.

Mississippi State was only able to get off a halfcourt heave at the final buzzer.

Graves was 6 of 10 from the field, including 4 of 6 from beyond the arc. John Henson had 12 points and eight rebounds for the Tar Heels.

Stewart led the Bulldogs with 18 points while Dee Bost and Varnado added 14 points each and Ravern Johnson had 13.

The Bulldogs opened the game on a 16-4 run, but UNC adjusted quickly on defense and roared back to take a 20-19 lead on a layup by Leslie McDonald. The Tar Heels led 36-33 at the half.

HIT AND RUN

C

leveland’s LeBron James and Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant are locked in a pitched battle for the NBA scoring lead.

James entered the weekend averaging 29.9 points per game, while Durant tallied 29.8 points per contest.

This race figures to go down to the final game of the season.

But no matter how close it stays, I doubt James and Durant will be able to steal the thunder of the 1978 NBA scoring race.

San Antonio’s George Gervin and Denver’s David Thompson staged a nip-and-tuck battle

83 77

from start to finish. Entering the final day of the regular season, Gervin led at 26.8 points per game with Thompson just behind at 26.6 ppg.

Thompson mounted one final, spectacular push on April 9, 1978.

The former N.C. State star scored an NBArecord 32 first-quarter points in an afternoon game against the Pistons, had 53 by halftime and finished with 73.

Gervin needed at least 58 points against the New Orleans Jazz that night to secure the scoring crown.

The sharp-shooting Spur would not be denied. He struck for 20 first-quarter points in the first quarter, broke Thompson’s hoursold mark with 33 in the second quarter and wound up with 63 points.

The Iceman closed the season with a 27.22 average. Thompson wound up at 27.15.

That remains the closest scoring race in league history.

It won’t be easy for James and Durant to match that drama this season.

NASCAR orders Edwards, Keselowski to play nice C

arl Edwards believes he and Brad Keselowski will no longer have problems on the track.

Such things come out of meetings called by NASCAR officials. This one was at Bristol Motor Speedway on Saturday and involved Keselowski and Edwards and their car owners Roger Penske and Jack Roush getting instructions from the guys from Daytona and Concord. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the biggest thing coming out of that meeting is that now, I think, Brad and I understand one another a little better,â&#x20AC;? Edwards said in quotes provided by his car manufacturer, Ford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna be able to just go forward and go racing, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what this is all about. It was really cool to be able to talk with Jack and Roger and Brad all at once. We laughed.

We cried. In the end, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna be good.â&#x20AC;?

What remains to be seen is if the effect the non-penalty Edwards received for flipping Keselowski over at 195 miles an hour in an act of vigilante justice will be good for the sport.

The first test of the approval of Old West law-and-order comes today in the tourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closest thing to a Wild West Show, the high-banked concrete bowl in east Tennessee where wrecks breed anger and retaliation.

For causing the intentional wreck that came close to having dire consequences when Keselowskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car turned over and hit the wall roof first at Atlanta Motor Speedway, NASCAR, playing the role of Judge Roy Bean, gave Edwards a three-race probation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which means little since drivers have rarely been penalized for violating probation.

The penalty is part of NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to revert to its past and let drivers handle disagreements among themselves when possible, a move in part in reaction to fans dissatisfied with recent years of overreaction to fenders touching.

Drivers approved the lifting of constraints and the effort to permit the settlement of issues among themselves just as their predecessors did, even though Edwardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; intentional assault got play on network news shows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More times than not, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m able to race people the way I want to be raced and it works out for me,â&#x20AC;? Kasey Kahne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you do have those incidents, you take care of them on the track â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never taken care of anything off the track. I think you just take care of it on the track and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basically the way to do it. What does it matter if you take care of something off the track? It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything. If you got crashed and lost 100 points, and you go take care of the other guy after the race, if Carl

goes and takes care of Brad after the race, what does that do? It does nothing. All we care about it points.â&#x20AC;?

And that brings the question of whether the self-policing policy will SPORTS bring back the rough-andtumble action to Bristol, Greer where races have been Smith tamer since reconfiguâ&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; ration and widening of the trackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turns have allowed drivers to race side-by-side.

Drivers do not think NASCAR will be any stricter on retaliation today than it was before the Keselowski-Edwards incident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it is any different, honestly,â&#x20AC;? Jeff Burton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think what happened at Atlanta, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretty.

It was a situation that I think surprised a lot of us. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not how it should have been handled (by Edwards). At the same time, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it really changes a lot for this weekend.â&#x20AC;?

By not giving Edwards at least a one-race suspension, there is a train of thought that drivers will not see anything to deter them from putting someone into the wall to settle a score.

By selecting the song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Back Downâ&#x20AC;? by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers as his music for driver introductions, Keselowski has pretty much telegraphed he is not going to change from the guy who has rubbed many veterans the wrong way by not being afraid to rub fenders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think some of (the dislike of Keselowski) has to do with when you come into the sport, especially at the top level as a rookie, if you like it or not, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to take a few lumps before youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re given that opportunity to pass some out,â&#x20AC;? four-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I believe heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come in and has passed out more bumps than heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken. And a lot of people view that as great and some people view it the opposite. There is no right or wrong in all that.â&#x20AC;?

A number of now veteran drivers said Friday that all it took was one admonishment for getting put into the wall by a veteran to curtail some of their brashness when they came into the sport.

Keselowskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning moment could have come at Atlanta. He certainly knows he is on NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watch list.

But with the relaxed rules on contact, he could also feel free to take the law into his own hands (if the other driver is someone other than Cal Edwards).

Just like in the Old West.

Pearson, the son of three-time NASCAR champion David Pearson, spun into the outside wall with five laps remaining. As his car slid down the banking, Glotzbach rounded Turn 2 and ran directly into Pearsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driver-side door.

Glotzbach gingerly walked from his car, but the roof had to be cut off Pearsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car. He was placed onto a stretcher, but was moving his arms as he was loaded into an ambulance.

Pearson, the winner of consecutive titles in

whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now called the Nationwide Series in 1986 and 1987, was immediately transported to Wellmont Regional Medical Center for further evaluation. Glotzbach, who won a caution-free Cup race at Bristol in 1971, was seen first in the infield care center before leaving for the same hospital.

David Pearson did not continue the race after heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accident. He drove his car off the track and stopped racing after the ambulance left so that he could travel to the hospital.

Speed, Menard enjoy view from the top BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A quick scan of the top drivers in NASCAR shows the usual suspects â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the likes of Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson, Mark Martin â&#x20AC;&#x201C; holding down the top eight spots.

Then it gets interesting.

Paul Menard and Scott Speed made their first appearances this week inside NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coveted top-12 rankings, and both drivers clearly liked the view from the top tier of the standings. Menard goes into todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race ranked ninth, while Speed is 11th. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels good for everyone, mostly because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come a long way and we can see how much progress weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made since we started,â&#x20AC;? said Speed, a former Formula One driver.

Neither driver is accustomed to being so high in the standings.

Allgaier holds off Keselowski for first win

BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Roger Penske casually leaned against the railing along the spotter stand at Bristol Motor Speedway, showing no emotion as he watched his two young drivers race each other for a win.

If he was nervous, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show it. He asked Brad Keselowski to take care of his equipment, then settled in to watch Justin Allgaier hold off his Penske Racing teammate for the first NASCAR victory of his career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out of my hands,â&#x20AC;? Penske said.

Allgaier passed Keselowski on a restart with 27 laps remaining in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race, then held him off over the closing laps to give Penske Racing its first 1-2 finish in the Nationwide Series. It was Dodgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first win at Bristol since August 2007.

Allgaier, last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nationwide Series rookie of the year, had to hold his line over the final 27 laps to keep Keselowski from passing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That battle with Brad at the end was awesome, and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been happier at the end to see two Penske cars up there running for the win,â&#x20AC;? Allgaier said in his first visit to Victory Lane.

Crew chief Chad Walter believed the win is the first of many for the 23-yearold Allgaier.

Menard, in his fourth full season, had a best finish of 26th in 2008 when he drove for Dale Earnhardt Inc. He finished 31st in the final season standings last year with Yates Racing, where he failed to notch a single top-10 finish.

But Menard is coming off a fifth-place finish two weeks ago at Atlanta â&#x20AC;&#x201C; only his second career top-five and his first since 2008 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and has a strong outlook this season. Yates Racing merged with Richard Petty Motorsports during the offseason, and Menard is pleased with his progression. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come out of the box pretty strong and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on a lot of things to make the cars even better so we can hopefully improve throughout the year,â&#x20AC;? Menard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could definitely get used to this. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only four races in, so a lot can happen.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the sky is the limit for this kid, and we just unleashed a monster,â&#x20AC;?

Walter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a little confidence in him, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great thing.

Look out. This kid can win.â&#x20AC;?

Keselowski, who led 73 laps after starting from the pole, said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind Allgaier passing him on the restart with 27 laps to go because of an incident at Bristol last year, before they were teammates, when Keselowski wrecked Allgaier in a similar situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had one coming,â&#x20AC;? Keselowski smiled.

Keselowski started his day with a 40-minute meeting with Carl Edwards and NASCAR to discuss the driversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ongoing feud. Edwards intentionally wrecked Keselowski two weeks ago in Atlanta, and Keselowski has vowed not to change the aggressive driving style that has angered so many veterans.

The 26-year-old tried to pass Allgaier on the inside several times, and turned up the pressure over the final 10 laps.

But he backed away from his usual aggressive driving â&#x20AC;&#x201C; particularly with a potential win on the line â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and raced clean to the checkered flag. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had the opportunity and just erred on the side of caution,â&#x20AC;? Keselowski said.

Wilson beats Parsons to win legends race BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rick Wilson passed Phil Parsons with two laps to go to outlast 11 other retired NASCAR drivers Saturday in an exhibition race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Wilson, best known as the driver who took over the No. 43 following Richard Pettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1992 retirement, dominated the race but lost the lead late to Parsons.

Wilson passed Parsons shortly after a restart following a lengthy red-flag for a frightening accident between Charlie Glotzbach and Larry Pearson.

Saint Mary’s Omar Samhan celebrates his team’s 75-68 win over Villanova in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday in Providence, R.I. Samhan scored 32 points to power the 10th-seeded Gaels.

Gael warning: St. Mary’s shocks Villanova, 75-68 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Omar Samhan was an unstoppable Gael force.

The only time the Saint Mary’s star slowed down was to enjoy the moment.

“Did it really happen?” he shouted outside the locker room. “We won? For real?”

For real, Omar.

Samhan’s ascension into national prominence is blasting off – and so is Saint Mary’s run in the NCAA tournament as the Gaels are improbably headed to the round of 16.

Samhan played the game of his career on basketball’s biggest stage, finishing with 32 points and seven rebounds to lead 10th-seeded Saint Mary’s past Villanova 75-68 on Saturday and on to Houston for the South Regional’s Sweet 16.

“Number One. Best win ever.

Quote it,” Samhan said. “Omar Samhan said, ’Best win ever.’ It was.”

Fitting for a team stocked with Australians, Saint Mary’s (28-5) went way, way long for its winning shot.

Mickey McConnell stopped and fired a 25-footer that followed the path of the Gateway Arch and banked high off the glass and in to give Saint Mary’s a 68-65 lead with 1:15 left.

“I got a little separation so I had an open look,” a smiling McConnell said. “So I just let it go and luckily the backboard was there.”

Samhan used a two-handed stuff to turn back Reggie Redding and McConnell made both ends of a 1and-1 to make it 70-65 and turn most of a packed crowd into the country’s biggest collection of Saint Mary’s fans.

The Gaels, from Moraga, Calif., east of Oakland, will play thirdseeded Baylor on Thursday.

“Nobody expected us to be in this situation when we started the year,” coach Randy Bennett said.

“Maybe the guys did, but I think even they would admit we were a little unsure.”

The Wildcats (25-8) made an early exit a year after they played in the Final Four. They started 20-1 and collapsed at the end.

Scottie Reynolds, who put Villanova in the Final Four last season with a last-second basket against

Pittsburgh, was a big reason why the Wildcats are heading home early. He missed 9 of 11 shots and scored eight points after a dud game in the tournament opener. He missed 13 of 15 against Robert Morris for a forgettable end to an otherwise stellar career.

Tears streamed from Reynolds’ eyes, his lips trembled as he tried to put the loss and his career in perspective.

“There’s no shame in losing,” Reynolds said. “We came up against a great opponent in a Saint Mary’s team who just had our number.

We’re going to hold our heads up high.”

Samhan, a 6-foot-11, 260-pound center, played perhaps the best allaround game of anyone in the tournament so far.

His 32 points where one shy of his career high and he made 13 of 16 shots.

McConnell, the West Coast Conference tournament MVP when the Gaels upset Gonzaga in the title game, finished with 15 points and Dellavedova had 14.

Corey Stokes led the Wildcats with 15 points.

WEST REGIONAL (5) BUTLER 54, (13) MURRAY ST. 52 SAN JOSE, Calif. – Murray State got awfully close to a second straight bracket-busting upset before Butler reminded the Racers which small school almost always plays big in March.

Ronald Nored’s three-point play snapped a tie with 25.4 seconds left, and Butler narrowly evaded a second stunner by the 13th-seeded Racers in three days.

Nored scored 15 points and Gordon Hayward had 12 before making the decisive defensive play for the fifth-seeded Bulldogs (30-4), who extended the nation’s longest winning streak to 22 games and advanced to the regional semifinals.

Butler reached to the round of 16 for the second time in four years – but only after surviving a thriller against the undersized but bighearted Racers (31-5).

In next week’s West Regional semifinals in Salt Lake City, Butler will face the winner of top-seeded Syracuse’s meeting with Gonzaga today.

MIDWEST REGIONAL (6) TENNESSEE 83, (14) OHIO 68 PROVIDENCE, R.I. – J.P. Prince scored 18 points, and Brian Williams and Wayne Chism had 12 rebounds apiece to lead sixth-seeded Tennessee over No. 14 Ohio in the second round.

It’s the third time in four years Bruce Pearl’s Volunteers have reached the NCAA’s second weekend. Tennessee (27-8) will play the winner of Sunday’s Ohio StateGeorgia Tech game in the Midwest Regional semifinals in St. Louis.

Tommy Freeman scored 23 points for Ohio (22-15)

SOUTH REGIONAL (3) BAYLOR 76, (11) OLD DOMINION 68 NEW ORLEANS – With its first NCAA Tournament victory in 60 years out of the way, Baylor has now earned an extended stay.

LaceDarius Dunn scored 26 points and the third-seeded Bears outlasted No. 11 Old Dominion 76-68 on Saturday in the second round of the South Regional. Baylor squandered a 14-point first-half lead but went on a late 8-1 run to pull away.

Now, the Bears (27-7) head back to their home state to play 10thseeded Saint Mary’s in Houston in the round of 16. After the Monarchs (27-9) rallied to take the lead in the second half, Baylor received a big lift from 7-footer Josh Lomers, who tied a career high with 14 points, 12 in the second half.

EAST REGIONAL (11) WASHINGTON 82, (3) NEW MEXICO 64 SAN JOSE, Calif. – After a rocky regular season, Quincy Pondexter and his Washington Huskies are rolling at exactly the right time.

Pondexter scored 18 points, Isaiah Thomas added 15 and 11th-seeded Washington extended its incredible late-season surge all the way to the NCAA tournament’s regional semifinals with an 82-64 second-round victory over New Mexico on Saturday.

Matthew Bryan-Amaning had 15 points and nine rebounds for the Huskies (26-9), who have won nine straight. Dairese Gary matched his career high with 25 points for New Mexico (30-5).

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The 3-point shot often has served as the great equalizer for NCAA Tournament underdogs, and it just happens to be the weapon of choice for Duke’s second-round opponent.

The Blue Devils’ defense, however, is as good as any when it comes to drawing a line in the sand.

Ninth-seeded California enters today’s game against the top-seeded Blue Devils (5:15 p.m., WFMY, Ch. 2) as one of the most diverse and dangerous long-range shooting teams Duke has faced in recent memory, but the Blue Devils pride themselves on being among the best at preventing teams from finding the mark.

“They shoot the ball so well – very well – so we’re going to have to go back to our bread and butter, which is defense,” Duke senior Lance Thomas said. “If we play defense, I think we can beat anybody.”

Cal (24-10) showed off its 3-point potency Friday night at Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena, hitting 4 of 6 from behind the arc over the first six minutes to open up a 22-4 lead on Louisville in a 77-62 victory.

Point guard Jerome Randle and running mates Theo Robertson and Patrick Christopher finished a combined 8 of 14 on 3-point attempts.

Randle is the school’s alltime leader in 3-pointers made, while Robertson is the career leader in percentage.

“I can’t remember playing against a team like that,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “You know, most of the time there’s two (who shoot outside) and a guy is inside or there’s a driver.

But all three of these guys stretch you, and they shoot NBA (3-pointers).

“The more I’m talking about it, now I’m getting even more concerned.

They’re really good.”

Duke (30-5), however, is really good on defense against 3-point shooters, ranking fourth in the nation entering the NCAA Tournament by holding opponents to 28.2-percent accuracy.

The Blue Devils don’t just force difficult 3point attempts, they often don’t even allow opponents to take shots outside the arc.

Zack Rosen of Penn, the ninth-most accurate 3-point shooter, got off just four attempts

against Duke. Adrian Thomas of Miami and Deividas Dulkys of Florida State, two of the top three in the ACC in 3point percentage (sandwiched around Duke junior Kyle Singler), combined to attempt six 3-pointers in three games against Duke.

“We don’t deny as much as we have in the past, and we have a little bit more length, so sometimes that can affect a shooter,” Krzyzewski said. “But we’ll have to come out a little bit further to defend these guys.”

What makes Cal’s attack unique is its depth of talented shooters and the distance that those shooters try to traverse.

Jorge Gutierrez, who has joined the starting lineup in place of suspended forward Omondi Amoke, can pop an occasional 3-pointer, as well.

And none of the Bears believe they have to toe the line in order to launch.

“You don’t expect guys to shoot shots from the distance that Cal’s guys shoot them from,” Krzyzewski said. “It can knock you back. We’ve tried to show our kids not just that they’re shooters but where they shoot from, so it doesn’t surprise them.”

The reliance on 3-pointers constitutes a change in philosophy for Cal coach Mike Montgomery, one necessitated by personnel. At 6-8, Duke transfer Jamal Boykin is the Bears’ tallest starter, and though they have a player taller than Duke senior Brian Zoubek in 7-3 Max Zhang, he’s a 10minute-per-game player.

“I’ve never shot so many jump shots, but it seems to me that what you’re supposed to do as a coach is give your kids the best opportunity, the best chance that you can to win, and for us that’s what this is,” said Montgomery, who is 2-0 against Krzyzewski, both wins while at Stanford. “There are times when you’d like to have an inside presence that you could go down to squeeze the defense in a little bit.”

Duke can relate. The Blue Devils have a quartet of big bodies but rely on a trio of perimeter players for most of their scoring. And Duke’s big three of Singler, Jon Scheyer and Nolan Smith actually have made more 3-pointers (220) than Cal’s trio (205).

“They can definitely put up points, but we can do the same thing,” Thomas said.

After the Storm: DCCC men reflect on remarkable run County’s few returning players – along with Roderick Geter and Phillip Williams – but thought he’d be playing this season without a former Trinity teammate by SPORTS his side. Last year, fellow Bulldog Josh Steve Jones played for the Hanf Storm, but elected ■■■ not to return.

In stepped Williams: “Dang, Trinity reunites again!” Potts said with a laugh about his reaction to the news.

The 2008 Trinity grads headed in opposite directions after helping the Bulldogs to a berth in the 3A state championship game. Potts immediately looked at DCCC for the same reason many students consider community colleges.

Basketball, resurrected at the school just three years ago, was a bonus.

“I knew about their success the first year and money-wise, I couldn’t afford anywhere else, plus it was close to home,” Potts said.

“I just decided to go with ol’ Matt Ridge and see what kind of coach he was.”

Williams made Liberty’s football team in the spring of his freshman year and worked out with the Flames, but headed home the summer of his sophomore year, with money concerns also weighing on his mind.

He was grateful for his return to basketball – eventually.

“The first practice I was eyes rolling into the back of my head, sprawled out – it reminded me of my freshman year with Coach (Tim) Kelly,” Williams said of making the transition from football conditioning to hoops. “But I pushed through it.”

Williams finished the year averaging 9.4 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, with Potts at 8.9 points and 7.7 boards. Each player added plenty of key assists, blocks and steals for a balanced squad that was led by Justin Glover’s 19.6 points per game. But seven of the Storm players averaged at least nine points per game, and as the roster thinned, some had to make sacrifices.

Sophomore Phillip Williams made perhaps the biggest adjustment. After four point guards were lost this year, he stepped in at the

Duke’s women crush Hampton THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DURHAM – Keturah Jackson scored a careerhigh 13 points to lead Duke past Hampton 72-37 in the first round of the NCAA Women’s Tourmament on Saturday.

Jasmine Thomas and Karima Christmas added 13 points apiece for the No. 2 seeded Blue Devils (28-5).

They dominated nearly every stat category, outscored Hampton 35-6 during the final 15:45 of the first half and cruised into a second-round matchup with No. 7 seed LSU on Monday night. Choicetta McMillian had nine points to lead the 15th-seeded Pirates (20-12).

TENNESSEE 75, AUSTIN PEAY 42 KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Kelley Cain had 18 points and 12 rebounds as top seed Tennessee beat No. 16 seeded Austin Peay 75-42 on Saturday in the opening round of the NCAA women’s tournament.

The Lady Vols (31-2), playing in their NCAArecord 29th first-round game, have advanced out of the opening weekend every season except last, when they lost 71-55 to Ball State in the first round.

The Lady Govs finished 15-18.

LSU 60, HARTFORD 39 DURHAM – LaSondra Barrett scored 20 points to help LSU beat Hartford in the first round.

Courtney Jones and Allison Hightower each added 10 for the Tigers (21-9), the No. 7 seed in the Memphis Regional. LSU advanced to the second round to play Duke.

midpoint of the season and went on to finish with 198 assists to just 142 turnovers while averaging 13.4 points per game.

“Phillip was thrown into that role,” Ridge said. “A big reason we won 29 games is because Phillip really bought in to sharing the ball, getting his teammates involved, making everybody else better.”

Williams, still mulling several offers from four-year schools, will become the first Storm player to continue his hoops career. Of the many freshmen on this year’s roster, Ridge said Glover and Kimani Hunt have told him they’re definitely coming back.

Potts said he’ll graduate with his associate’s degree this year and enroll at Guilford Tech’s fire academy to pursue his goal of becoming a firefighter. Zack Williams plans to attend UNC Wilmington in the fall to work toward a degree in either physical therapy or education.

Ridge enjoyed no rest following his team’s whirlwind run. The teacher and golf coach at Southwest Guilford High School also must rebuild his Storm squad.

“I teach, I go to golf, I talk to recruits. It’s just my way of life – I don’t know anything different,” Ridge said. “I love what I do, I love being around kids. I’m very blessed to have an opportunity to teach at Southwest and coach at Davidson County, and I’ve got an amazing wife that supports me unconditionally. I’m very fortunate to have the support I have.”

For the 36-year-old Ridge, that includes wife Candice and daughters Mattison (4) and Parker (10 months), assistant coaches Brandon Mullis, Jeff Walton and Chase Ellis, the fans who packed into Brinkley Gymnasium to help the Storm tally a 44-2 home record the last three years, and the great players with whom he shared the trip to New York this year.

“Coaching kids like Eric and Zack, they’ve just been a joy.

Those kids were winners at Trinity, they were winners here and more importantly, they’ll be winners in life no matter what they do,” Ridge said. “They’re just really good people. We’re going to continue to try to recruit Tim Kelly kids from Trinity and kids that come from winning programs, good people.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

ric Potts sought out an affordable option for college and a shot to continue his basketball career.

Zack Williams needed a second chance at the hardwood after giving Division I college football a chance.

Matt Ridge envisioned a day when Davidson County Community College’s men’s basketball team would explode onto the national scene.

All three got what they wanted this winter.

“I’ve enjoyed my two years here,” Potts said. “It’s been a blast – I couldn’t ask for anything better.”

Offered Williams, who spent a year at Liberty working toward a spot on the football team: “I really didn’t know where I would go or what I would do. I called Coach Ridge and he gave me a shot. I missed (basketball). I guess a lot of people miss it when they leave.”

They’re done with the game now, but what they and a handful of others helped the Storm do this year figures to make a lasting impact at DCCC. The team finished 29-7 overall, with the final three losses coming by a combined 14 points in the National Junior College Athletic Association Division III championship tournament. DCCC won the Tar Heel Conference regular season with a 10-0 mark, took the Region X Tournament crown and then the District 7 championship for a spot in the finals in Delhi, N.Y. For the year, DCCC averaged 90.2 points per game – fifth-best in the nation – and was ranked as high as fifth in the country.

“I’ll never forget these guys and the journey they took me on, what they accomplished as a result of playing hard and smart together,” Ridge said. “We finished with eight kids that were dependable, that were going to listen to me and play hard. If you have eight or nine of those that are talented, you’re going to win a lot of games.”

Potts and Williams were among 16 players on the DCCC roster at the start of the year before attrition took its toll. Grades, family issues, injuries, differences of opinion with the coaches – it all added up to eight players being left at the end.

Potts was one of Davidson

Geter and the Storm prevailed in that game to punch their ticket to Delhi, New York, for the National Junior College Athletic Association Division III national championship tournament. The Storm played three hard-fought contests in the national tourney, losing 81-78 to Roxbury (Mass.) Community College in the Elite 8, falling 91-87 to Herkimer County (N.Y.) Community College and 85-80 to Mountain View (Texas) Community College in the seventh-place game. DCCC finished its most successful season in school history with a stellar 29-7 overall record.

Vision becomes bigger issue as we get older T

his week, I was at the FN Herstal Browning plant in Columbia, South Carolina. I was talking to the guys at the plant and described recently shooting with a “kid,” who was 38 years old. They were in their early 40s and they thought 38 was a little old to call someone a “kid.” I asked if they were wearing reading glasses or bifocals yet and both were.

I told them in my opinion, anyone whose eyes haven’t changed yet is a SPORTS “kid.”

As we get older, there Dick are a lot of annoyances Jones due to our age but vision ■■■ is probably the most irritating. We need a flashlight to find anything on the floor, small parts become invisible parts, the little letters on the cell phone, TV remote, and other devices become microscopic, and our arms aren’t long enough to read the newspaper.

For fishing, it’s bad enough. A couple of years back, I wrote a feature on outdoor vision and interviewed Harry Allen at Optics in High Point because of his ability to supply polarized bifocal glasses in colors that allowed seeing fish in the water, negotiating the boat when headed into the sun, and reading your chart plotter and depth finders without constantly changing glasses.

I hear many more complaints about shooting vision issues from the collection of codgers I call friends than I do for fishing. Shooting well requires even more attention to vision since it involves not only seeing close and distant in all kinds of light but it also often requires depth of field.

Depth of field is described in the dictionary as: “depth of field is the portion of a scene that appears acceptably sharp in the image. Although a lens can precisely focus at only one distance,

ROANOKE RIVER PROSPECTS

–--

Some of the best fishing on the East Coast is in our Roanoke River for shad and then stripers in spring. The shad should turn up by the end of March.

They’ll be in the river until about mid April when the stripers take over. The stripers normally are heading back down after the spawn in mid May. This week, a few shad showed up in the river. These are early fish so don’t expect to catch many for a week or two. The river level is murky but the high river levels have come down to a normal flow. Won’t be long now. To see a report on activity every week, go to www. ncwildlife.org and scroll down to the Roanoke River Report in the Features section.

– DICK JONES

the decrease in sharpness is gradual on each side of the focused distance.”

Vision at older ages suffers a triple whammy: the lens in our eyes becomes cloudy and darker, the muscle that dilates and contracts our pupils atrophies, and the muscle that focuses our lens gets less flexible. The darkness in the lens allows less light in. This is compounded by floaters, discolored areas in the clear material in our eyes that look like little dark moving dots and shapes when we look at a white wall.

As we get older, the decrease in sharpness becomes less gradual. When we focus sharply on one object, other objects closer and more distant are likely to be out of focus. In higher light conditions, they don’t constrict as much and our best depth of field occurs at the tightest constriction.

Our depth of field is better when our pupils are constricted. This only happens in higher levels of light. This is why we can’t see as well up close in low light conditions. As we get older, our

pupils don’t open as wide in low light and less light is available. This is why we have trouble seeing without really good light.

Finally, the muscle that reshapes our eyes to allow us to focus closer and farther slows down and becomes less flexible. All this is enough to deal with when you’re watching TV or reading the paper. When you pick up a gun and try to hit a target it really becomes complicated.

With a shotgun, the problems are the slowdown in focusing and moving the eye to stay on a moving target. For the best results in shotgun, you should use a distance prescription and chose a yellow-colored lens for general shooting to give more contrast. An orange lens will pick up the orange color of a clay target and make it stand out better. Make sure the lens is large enough to allow you to comfortably mount the gun and still have plenty of lens to see through.

Small stylish glasses don’t work well for shooting.

For shooting with iron sights on a rifle or pistol, you need something else entirely. Accurate shooting with iron sights requires a sharp focus on the front sight. Without a sharp front sight, you’ll never shoot with iron sights well.

As we get older, it’s harder to get that sharp focus due to the triple whammy mentioned above. Far-sighted shooters will have trouble without a little help.

Something else that helps is to avoid sunglasses. They darken what you see and cause your pupil to open further which shortens your depth of field. Use high-light transmission, non-reflective lenses and use a hat to block the sun.

Last week, I had an eye exam with Dr. Jicha at Optics. He reminded me how important regular eye exams are as we get older. There are so many eye diseases that can be treated to prevent loss of vision if caught early. The technology has improved exponentially and it’s much easier to detect eye disease now

ters, anglers can harvest a maximum of seven trout per day, with no minimum size limits or bait restrictions. Hatchery-supported trout waters, marked by green-and-white signs, are stocked repeatedly from March until August every year. Many of these waters are stocked monthly, although some heavily fished waters are stocked more frequently.

than just a few years ago. If you have special needs like shooting, you should discuss them with the optician when you get your examination. There are slight changes that can really help.

I found that I’m slightly near sighted in my right eye with just a little astigmatism. Glasses will help my right eye vision by correcting the astigmatism which means distortion from my eyeball not being concentric. My distance vision has improved as I’ve grown olde,r bringing my right eye from about 20/80 as a young man to about 20/20.

I’m still slightly nearsighted in my left eye allowing me to read without glasses. My new lenses will correct the astigmatism which results in a big improvement.

I plan to have optics make me a set of glasses with a half or quarter Diopter sphere more magnification to bring the front sight in a little sharper focus. This will allow me to be able to still see at a distance well enough to see the target out to 600 or 1,000 yards while giving me a sharp front sight. For pistol shooting at relatively close ranges, I’ll get a lens that has three-quarters or a full diopter over my distance prescription.

The great thing about this is a little TLC will get your vision tuned up enough to shoot quite well, provided you don’t have eye disease. Since everyone doesn’t know you’ve spent the time to get your vision right, you can still use the old age excuse when you aren’t shooting all that well.

Canes beat Pens 3-2 in OT

PITTSBURGH (AP) – Jamie McBain scored his first NHL goal on a slap shot from above the circles with less than a second remaining in overtime, and the Carolina Hurricanes rallied from a late deficit to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-2 on Saturday.

Seconds after Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury made what looked to be a potential game-saving stop on Chad LaRose’s wrist shot, McBain – getting two points in his third

career game – beat Fleury cleanly with ninetenths of a second remaining. After the game, Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said the shot deflected off his hand.

The Penguins, 2-2-2 in their last six games, led 2-1 on Evgeni Malkin’s goal off a hard wrist shot from the left circle with 6:55 remaining. Joni Pitkanen tied it at the 16-minute mark with a drive from the left circle off Eric Staal’s long pass from behind the goal line.

Furyk takes control in Tampa PALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) – Two straight birdies allowed Jim Furyk to pull away from the pack.

Eighteen holes is what stands in the way of ending his longest stretch without a victory since he was a rookie.

Furyk played bogeyfree Saturday with a round almost as flawless as Florida weather, finishing off a 4-under 67 to build a three-shot lead at the Transitions Championship as he tries to win for the first time since the 2007 Canadian Open.

“I’m in a great position in the tournament,” Furyk said. “I’ve got a threeshot lead. You kind of dictate what the other guys have to do.”

Furyk was at 11-under 202, with a strong group of contenders behind him.

Defending champion Retief Goosen birdied the last hole of a roller-coaster round that gave him a 1-under 70, part of fourway tie for second. The others at 8-under 205 were two past champions at Innisbrook – K.J. Choi (67) and Carl Pettersson (70) – and Bubba Watson, who has never won on tour. He scrambled for a 70.

Padraig Harrington, a three-time major champion who hasn’t won since the 2008 PGA Championship, went 14 holes without a birdie to fall out of the lead, then dropped another shot on the 18th hole for a 72 that left him four shots behind.

Furyk is 0 for 58 on the PGA Tour since his last victory. This is his first 54-hole lead since the Colonial nearly three years

ago, when he lost in a playoff to Rory Sabbatini.

There have been times when he let tournaments get away down the stretch, and times when he was beaten, such as the Memorial last year when he was three shots better than everyone in the field except one guy – Tiger Woods – who won by a shot.

Today might be his best chance. The few times when Furyk made a mistake, such as missing the green on the par-3 fourth, he made up for it with his putting. Later in the warm afternoon, when he was giving himself so many birdie chances, he had to settle for par.

Pettersson closed out the front nine with consecutive bogeys. Steve Stricker shot 71 and wound up five shots behind.

Oosthuizen grabs lead at Trophee Hassan II RABAT, Morocco (AP) – Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa shot a 9-under 64 Saturday to take a two-stroke lead over Rhys Davies of Wales after the third round of the Trophee Hassan II. Oosthuizen had five birdies on the front nine and five more on the back to go with a single bogey on No. 17. Overnight leader Davies had seven birdies in his round of 68.

“I felt like I hit the ball well. I hit it farther with most of my clubs and my putting was good again,” said Oosthuizen, who is chasing his first European Tour win. “Nice to have 10 birdies on my card, that doesn’t happen every day.”

Frenchman Thomas Levet and South Africa’s Thomas Aiken were four strokes behind Oosthuizen, who headed into Sunday’s final round on the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam course at 20-under 198.

Davies, who tied for third in the Malaysian Open this month, feels he is in good enough form to upset Oosthuizen’s plans.

Ignacio Garrido of Spain had a 69 to finish the day one stroke behind Aiken and Levet, while Danny Willett of England matched Oosthuizen’s 64 to climb up the leaderboard to one shot behind Garrido.

Nationwide exemptions granted to the eGolf Tour in 2010.

High Point’s Weaver finished at 5-under for the event with rounds of 67, 73, 74 and 69. The eight golfers who finished at 283 each earned $2,225.

Thomasville’s Wilfong fired four straight rounds of 71 and tied with four others at 4-under 284. Those golfers each took home $1,886.40.

Spencer Wilson gets a kiss from his father, Billy, at Brenner Children’s Hospital in Winston-Salem.

Nothing to fear Though still quite young, 14-year-old Spencer Wilson has found a measure of maturity in his fight against cancer

BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

N

o need to fear.

That loud, extended howling you heard from west of here this past Monday was no wild animal. It was just Spencer Wilson, a wild 14-year-old kid from High Point who had just completed his 14th – and final – round of chemotherapy at Brenner Children’s Hospital in Winston-Salem.

After seven months of cancer, chemo, nausea, fatigue, mouth sores, shortness of breath, finger pricks, injections, blood transfusions and extended hospital stays, Spencer was ready to put a period – no, an exclamation point – at the end of the

’A lot of people have said, “Man, Spence, you’re so courageous and strong,” but it’s not Spencer – it’s God working through Spencer and giving him strength, and he realizes that.’

Jodie Wilson Spencer’s mom most challenging chapter of his young life. He did so with a celebratory wolf howl – numerous howls, actually – much to the amusement of his family and hospital personnel.

“I think we need to call animal control,” a nurse joked, but there was no controlling Spencer on this day.

SPECIAL | HPE

Nurse flushes IV for Spencer, whose colorful wig reflects his outlook on his seven-month course of chemotherapy.

“He was like a little kid on Christmas morning,” says Spencer’s mom, Jodie.

“He just couldn’t contain his excitement.

He said, ‘I’m never coming back – this is it!’ He just has this glow about him. He said, ‘Mom, I feel like it’s the first day of summer break.’ It’s like he’s got this new freedom.”

The truth is, Spencer will undergo a battery of scans in a few weeks to make sure his body is clean of the cancer that was diagnosed last August. Previous scans, however, showed the Ewing’s sarcoma in Spencer’s left leg had shrunk, suggesting the chemo treatments have been, well, a howling success.

“They’ve been really pleased with his courage and determination through all

of this,” says Spencer’s dad, Billy. “His doctor said it’s the first time he could remember of a patient being on schedule for the whole process. In other words, Spencer never got sick enough to where he had to delay a treatment.”

The Wilsons were impressed with something else – the rapid, cancer-induced maturation of their son from an ordinary 13-year-old kid seven months ago to a young man who learned to put his faith in his God more than his doctors.

“I think he’s really seen how God has worked through him,” Billy says. “A lot of people have said, ‘Man, Spence, you’re so courageous and strong,’ but it’s not Spencer – it’s God working through Spencer and giving him strength, and he realizes that.”

Jodie says her son has developed a sense of compassion for others – borne of his many days at Brenner, where he saw children with pain much worse than his own – and an appreciation for people that he might’ve taken for granted before his cancer journey.

“It’s hard to put in words all the different things God has taught Spence,” she says, “but he definitely appreciates relationships now in a way that a 14-yearold normally doesn’t appreciate relationships.”

Jodie goes a step further in her assessment of the journey Spencer and the family have been on – she says she wouldn’t trade it for anything.

“These last seven months, God has taken our world apart, reorganized it and is putting it back together again,” she wrote in an online journal. “Our lives will never be the same. I would never trade these last seven months; we have experienced the sweetness of God in ways

Man travels incommunicado, frustrates wife D

ear Abby: I have been married for 12 years to a man who is an excellent provider, but not a loving husband. He works out of town every week and comes home on weekends.

When he’s away he ignores my phone calls and won’t answer any texts. If I do get him on the phone, he picks a fight with me for whatever reason – maybe I breathed too hard on the phone – and that’s enough for him not to answer anymore that week. We have three children and he doesn’t even communicate with them.

This has been going on for a few years. I love him, but I feel his attitude is belittling. It has reached the point that I’m afraid to say anything.

I’m a loving wife and mother, and I feel I should be respected and treated like a wife and not a weekend fling.

Please give me some advice as to what I should do. I’m at a loss for words.

– Distraught in Texas Dear Distraught: Your husband

appears to suffer from selective amnesia. When he’s out of town, he “forgets” that he’s married.

It is in the best interests of you and your children to figure out what happened “a few years ADVICE ago” that caused such a radical change in his Dear behavior. You are right Abby that you are not being ■■■ treated the way a wife should be. That’s why you should consider hiring a private detective to find out what’s been going on. I am sure that once you understand, you will no longer be at a loss for words.

Dear Abby: My uncle “Paul” died two weeks ago after a long illness.

He and his daughter, “Nina,” had a difficult relationship, and after an argument eight years ago she cut off all communication with him.

Uncle Paul developed the disease that led to his death after the estrangement.

Sunday, March 21, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Matthew Broderick, 48; Rosie O’Donnell, 48; Gary Oldman, 52; Timothy Dalton, 64 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Too much, too fast will lead to mistakes and setbacks. There is so much to gain if you go about things the right way. This is not the year to cut corners or to do things on too grand a scale. Inconsistency will make you look unprofessional to those with whom you are trying to do business. Stick to what you know. Your numbers are 3, 6, 17, 20, 26, 37, 45 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Use your charm when dealing with friends and lovers and you will get some help dealing with responsibilities. A chance meeting with someone from your past or contacting someone you’ve worked with before will lead to a professional opportunity and extra cash. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Secrets must be kept.

Emotional deception is apparent when dealing with past problems that were never resolved. Someone you meet while traveling or attending an event or interest course will send you mixed messages. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Use the past as your reference so you don’t make the same mistake twice. You will be emotional and mixed-up when it comes to relationships, both personally and professionally. Take time to mull over what’s going on. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You will be pressed for time and pressured into making a decision you are in no position to make. Uncertainty must be dealt with.

A personal issue will cloud your vision, causing you to react harshly toward someone who is trying to help you. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Travel, attending events, communicating with people with common interests and having fun should be on your agenda. Love and romance are highlighted and a commitment can be made. ★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Practice practicality. Someone from your past may try to talk you into something that isn’t right for you. Don’t entertain the thought of getting involved in a joint venture. You’ll be the one who ends up losing out. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take responsibility for what you do and the way you do it and you will impress the people who matter the most. Don’t let someone opposing your plans push you in a different direction.

Choose the lifestyle that suits you best. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Avoid opposition, arguments and people you do not trust. Concentrate on being the best you can be. Someone from your past will have a major influence on you if you make arrangements to resurrect one of your old goals. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Exaggeration will put you in a vulnerable position when the real facts are announced. Do your best to get along with everyone if you don’t want to be challenged and put in your place. Focus on home and family. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Hold on to what you’ve got. This isn’t the time to be frivolous or to take unnecessary risks. Evaluate a relationship with someone who has disappointed you. It may be time to move on. A new look or image will lift your spirits. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do some backtracking and you’ll discover that you still have feelings for someone you used to hang out with. Don’t lend or borrow. It will lead to problems and an inability to collect or pay back. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take a closer look at your personal situation and consider what needs to be changed. A poor decision will take a long time to reverse. If you feel uncertain, ask someone you trust for help. Acting in haste will result in personal or emotional loss. ★★

Q

What is the earliest age that I can receive Social Security disability benefits?

A. There is no minimum age as long as you meet the strict Social Security definition of disability. To qualify for disability benefits, you must have worked long enough under Social Security to earn the required number of work credits and some of the work must be recent. You can earn up to a maximum of four work credits each year. The amount of earnings required for a credit increases each year as general wage levels go up and is currently $1,120. The number of work credits you need for disability benefits depends on your age when you become disabled. For example, if you are under age 24, you may qualify with as little as six credits of coverage.

But people disabled at age 31 or older generally need between 20 and 40 credits, and some of the work must have been recent. For example, you may need to have worked five out of the past 10 years. Learn more at: www.socialsecurity. gov/disability.

Q. How does Social Security decide if I am disabled?

A. For an adult to be considered disabled, Social Security must determine that you are unable to do the work you did before and unable to

adjust to any other work which exists in significant numbers in the national economy. Also, your disability must last or be expected to last for at least one year or to result in death. Social Security pays only for total disability. No benefits are payable for partial disability or short-term disability (less than a year). For more information, we recommend

you read Disability Benefits (SSA Publication No. 05-10029), available online at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10029. html.

I was on a bus trip with our church group when I saw a penny on the floor.

I picked it up and offered it to an older woman with the comment, “A penny for your thoughts.” Her retort was, “You would be wanting change?”

Nina’s brothers and other family members begged her to relent many times – to no avail. It was extremely painful for everyone.

When Nina saw her father’s obituary in the newspaper, she decided to attend the funeral. Her brothers and Aunt “Joan” sent a message telling her that her attendance would be hurtful and asking her to stay away. She came anyway – along with her husband, children, their spouses and babies my uncle – and Aunt Joan – had never seen. The rest of the family managed to shield Aunt Joan from them during the service, but Nina’s presence was very upsetting.

Denim: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always in style

BY SAMANTHA CRITCHELL AP FASHION WRITER

N

EW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Denim never goes out of style, but there are seasons when your old, reliable five-pocket jeans simply arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough.

This is one of those seasons.

The jeans legging â&#x20AC;&#x201C; aka jegging â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is still going strong, and denim designers are also talking up the chambray shirt, asymmetrical motocross jackets, cutoff shorts and, still, the boyfriend pant. There are trouser styles and waistcoats for work, and, â&#x20AC;&#x153;rip-and-repairâ&#x20AC;? jeans are a must for weekends.

Ralph Lauren had overalls on the runway and showed jeans under an evening gown. Even babies are getting premium denim.

And a denim-on-denim outfit, sometimes considered a fashion faux-pas in the past, is a bona fide trend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The American denim look is everywhere â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the air, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all over the world,â&#x20AC;? says Patrick Robinson, creative director at Gap. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The workwear feel is hot, especially for guys, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sexy look for women. ... Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about cool Americans and how they live and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to export that around the world.â&#x20AC;?

Denim is proving a strong springtime seller in stores, says Stephanie Solomon, vice president of fashion direction at Bloomingdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. She is particularly fond of the shorts and leggings paired with striped Tshirts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It probably has never had a larger impact on what we wear every day,â&#x20AC;? agrees Durand Guion, menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fashion director for Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had gotten just about as casual as we can get without getting in our pajamas, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to incorporate denim into our lives at least five days a week, but not just Saturdays. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to step it up. You can wear a button-down denim shirt with a tie.â&#x20AC;?

Helmut Lang co-creative director Nicole Colovos thinks people like that they can put their own spin on denim.

And no pair of jeans looks the same on two different people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so individual, from how you wear it in, how you style it. The fit is molded to your shape,â&#x20AC;?

Colovos says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want someone else wearing your jeans.â&#x20AC;?

Finding the best fit is trial and error, she adds, but once consumers find a denim label they like, they tend to be loyal.

Denim leggings arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t saggy and baggy, and that flattering, lasting shape is part of their appeal, says You Nguyen, Leviâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior vice president of womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s merchandising and design.

He says he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overemphasize the importance of the legging right now. It further evolves the skinny jean, which has moved from trendy to staple status, and it complements the tunic top and the slouchy blazer that are being touted for spring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our leggings business is on fire, at all price points and at all retailers,â&#x20AC;? Nguyen says.

On the flip side, the boyfriend skinny jean â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with a looser waist and hip but a narrower leg â&#x20AC;&#x201C; remains popular.

Forget â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cute,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; baby denim is tiny but trendy

BY SAMANTHA CRITCHELL AP FASHION WRITER

N

EW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Denim is easy, denim is durable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and that makes denim a potentially sensible and stylish choice for some of the toughest customers around: babies and toddlers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Denim makes so much sense for everyone,â&#x20AC;? says Jennifer Giangualano, senior vice

president of design for BabyGap. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got your jeans, jean jacket, overalls. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you build everything else around and then you layer it up.â&#x20AC;?

Yet, young children â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or at least their parents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do as much denim as everyone else seems to. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a misconception that denim has to be hard or rough, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the case, says Giangualano, who is helping to launch 1969 BabyGap

Premium Denim this season.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look for cutesy embroidered flowers or trucks, though. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are on trend but tiny,â&#x20AC;?

Giangualano says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the cutest thing in the world.â&#x20AC;?

True Religion, Rock & Republic, Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jeans and 7 for All Mankind are among the other premium denim brands with pint-size products.

Giangualano says the core of Gapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection is a straight-leg,

dark-wash jeans. Certain modifications have been made to the garment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as toughter-thanusual knees for crawling and a stretchier fabric so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to pull bottoms down to change a diaper â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the look is modeled after adult looks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want you to pull them out again when the kid is 15 and you say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, how cute.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We want people to keep them as a keepsake.â&#x20AC;?

And yet, ask Spencer how heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changed the past seven months, and the kid doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t answer. The young man does. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten a lot more mature through this, because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve suffered and had to

In Chinatown Funeral brass band keeps tradition alive

BY JULIANA BARBASSA ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

S

AN FRANCISCO – Traffic along the teeming streets of Chinatown came to a standstill: death was parading by, heralded by the clear, sharp notes of a brass band. Women looked up from their grocery shopping; tourists pulled out their cameras.

In San Francisco, the traditions of Chinese-American funeral processions, with their blend of Eastern and Western customs, are thriving. Almost 300 parades wind their way from the Green Street Mortuary every year, shutting down busy streets.

And one band plays them all: the Green St. Mortuary Band.

“There’s a real sense of community,” said band leader Lisa Pollard.

Motorcycle escorts clear the way, and a convertible bearing a picture of the deceased framed in flowers lets bystanders know who is being honored with the pageantry. Dozens of cars – up to 100 for highly regarded decedents – follow the procession past garment shops, dim sum restaurants, herb sellers.

“This is so people in Chinatown can see who passed away – they will step out and see who it is passing by,” said mortuary general manager Bill Steiner, who has picked up some Cantonese since he joined Green Street in 1976.

This tradition of honoring

the dead with a band and public procession comes from a long commingling of Chinese and European customs in the particular melting pot that is San Francisco’s Chinatown.

The buildings, redone after the 1906 earthquake in a pseudo-Oriental style with curved eaves and colorful lanterns, make the neighborhood one of the city’s

‘San Francisco has been good about keeping these traditions – it’s really amazing to see.’

Amy Chan Visitor from Ohio biggest tourist attractions.

But it remains a place where first-generation immigrants get their first toehold in America, counting on the support of traditional family associations and the comfort of a familiar language.

“San Francisco has been good about keeping these traditions – it’s really amazing to see,” said Amy Chan, camera in hand. She was visiting from Cleveland, Ohio, and had never seen a band playing along with a funeral.

The Green Street mortuary’s funerals and the band

embody this blend of influences. The parade and the elaborate service respect the Chinese regard for funerals as significant life-passage rituals that can often be more expensive that weddings, with the “deluxe package” running just under $10,000 without the casket.

But the music, played by 10 all-white band members, mixes Christian hymns, Chinese tunes, and anything else that strikes the family’s fancy.

One family whose relative died of lung cancer had “Smoke gets in your eyes” played – it was the deceased’s last request. Chinese-American author Amy Tan wanted “Daisy Bell,” also known as “A bicycle built for two,” played on her mother Daisy’s funeral, said band leader Pollard. “When we played it on a corner in Chinatown, it was a real tear jerker.”

The funeral service offered

by Green Street also includes ceremonial paper products – paper replicas of mansions, fancy cars, servants, outfits, mah jong tables – that can be burned within the chapels, which are equipped with an exhaust system, or at the cemetery, said Steiner.

Demand for the full service, band and all, has remained steady in spite of the recession, Steiner said.

“It’s a sign of respect for the family member,” Steiner said. “People come to us for this. It’s special.”

13,000-mile drive: NYC to Argentina

BY NICOLAS RAPP FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

C

HACABUCO, Argentina –It was just like driving to work, except that I kept on going: From New York to Argentina, through 12 countries, for four months and more than 13,000 miles.

It’s the first leg of my overland trip around the world, an expedition that I consider the last true adventure on Earth.

From Buenos Aires, I will ship my car to Africa, fly across to meet it, and continue the drive, heading north to Europe, east to Asia, and finally, later this year, returning to North America.

My adventure began Nov. 15 when I gave up my apartment, quit my job as art director for The Associated Press, and set off in a ’96 Toyota Land Cruiser outfitted with a rooftop tent, fridge, stove and portable toilet.

Since then, I’ve driven through jungles, mountains and fog, across dirt roads, desert sand and salt fields. Crooked cops tried to shake me down and bad maps led me to places where the road disappeared.

I saw monkeys in the Costa Rican rainforest, pink flamingos in Bolivia, and herds of llamas in Peru, along with pigs the size of ponies. I camped on beaches in Nicaragua so beautiful and remote that you forget you have

Nicolas Rapp camps on one of the campsite of the Trans World Expedition, close to Park Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica.

to go back to civilization one day. I visited the Mayan ruins of Copan in Honduras, ancient tombs and painted caves in Tierradentro, Colombia, and the Spanish colonial city of Quito, Ecuador.

A story about the trip that appeared in newspapers and Web sites before I left resulted in thousands of comments on chat boards, hundreds of e-mails to me, and scores of invitations. I am grateful for the kindness, generosity and hospitality of so many strangers who provided meals and a place to sleep. Notes I posted on a Land Cruiser message board also brought people out to help. It was nice to see that there is a real community behind all these

electronic messages on the Internet.

But a few offers I turned down – one from a cable TV crew that wanted to accompany me and another from a company that wanted to pay me to wear a certain jacket throughout the trip.

Many well-wishers keep track of my trip through my blog, TransWorldExpedition.com, where I post updates and photos from the road. One e-mail I received included a marriage proposal for my traveling companion, Nadia Hubschwerlin. Nadia is a childhood friend; we are not romantically tied. In my blog, I told her suitor: “I will be glad to be the witness at her wedding as long as you are a decent guy.”

It was chilly in New York when we started out, but we drove away from the cold weather, heading south on highways that roughly followed the Appalachian Trail to Georgia. We stopped in New Orleans (I am French and I wish that France had never sold Louisiana), then crossed the border from Texas to Mexico and drove southeast through Central America. We drove through Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica to Panama, where the PanAmerican Highway ends at the Darien Gap. The Darien Gap, a roadless region of swamps and rainforests that stretches 90 miles to the tip of Colombia, makes

it impossible to drive the entire distance to South America. So we shipped the car from Panama to Colombia and flew there to pick it up, then drove south, through Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia to Argentina.

We camped on beaches and in parks, and often got permission to sleep on farms, where there was plenty of space and where people are accustomed to seeing seasonal helpers.

In Costa Rica, there were so many Americans it was like the 51st state.

Parent-child separation can devastate family Q

uestion: Everyone knows that divorce is tough on children.

What about parent-child separation that occurs for reasons other than divorce? Is the pain any less intense for kids when a parent has a good reason to be away?

Dr. Dobson: Research confirms that the consequences of any parent-child separation can be severe. In one study of fathers whose jobs required them to be away from their families for long periods of time, the children tended to experience numerous negative reactions, including anger, rejection, depression, low self-esteem, and commonly, a decline in school performance. Those findings have been confirmed in other contexts, as well.

Some of those conclusions were presented at a White House conference at which I spoke a few years ago. The other speaker was Dr. Armand Nicholi, professor of psychiatry at Harvard University. That day, Dr. Nicholi explained how family circumstances that make parents inaccessible to their children produce some of the same effects as divorce itself.

Cross-cultural studies make it clear that parents in the United States spend

less time with their children than parents in almost any other nation in the world. For decades, millions of fathers have devoted themselves exclusively to their occupations and activities FOCUS away from home. More recently, mothers have ON THE joined the workforce in FAMILY huge numbers, rendering themselves exhaustDr. James ed at night and burdened Dobson with domestic duties on â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; weekends.

The result: No one is at home to meet the needs of millions of lonely preschoolers and latchkey children. Dr. Nicholi expressed regret that his comments would make many parents feel uncomfortable and guilty.

However, he felt obligated to report the facts as he saw them.

Most important (and the point of his address), Dr. Nicholi stressed the undeniable link between the interruption of parent-child relationships and the escalation of psychiatric problems that we were then seeing and that are even more pronounced today. If the numbers of dysfunc-

tional families and absentee parents continued to escalate, he said, serious national health problems were inevitable.

One-half of all hospital beds in the United States at that time were taken up by psychiatric patients. That figure could hit 95 percent if the incidence of divorce, child abuse, child molestation and child neglect continue to soar. In that event, Dr. Nicholi said, we would also see vast increases in teen suicide, already up more than 300 percent in 25 years, drug abuse, crimes of violence and problems related to sexual disorientation.

I have reason to understand a measure of the pain spoken of by Dr. Nicholi. I experienced it when I was six years old. My mother and father left me with my aunt for six months while they traveled. That last night together, I sat on my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lap while she told me how much she loved me and that she and my father would come back for me as soon as they could. Then they drove away as the sun dropped below the horizon.

I sat on the floor in the dark for an unknown period of time, fighting back the tears as depression engulfed me.

That sorrowful evening was so intense

ANNIVERSARIES

that its pain can be recalled instantly today, almost seven decades later.

In short, even when parent-child separation occurs for valid reasons in a loving home, a boy or girl frequently interprets parental departure as evidence of rejection. If we have any choice in the matter, we should not put them through that painful experience.

Question: What would your recommendation be to a young wife and mother whose husband is extremely violent and frequently abuses her and their children?

Dr. Dobson: She should get herself and her kids out of the home immediately. Abuse of spouses and children simply must not be tolerated. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s against the law, and the law must be enforced. No one has to live in an abusive environment today.

Migraines have different shapes, sizes

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I suspect that many people call their headaches migraine headaches without any justification. I have what my doctor calls optical migraines. I have the classic semicircle of jagged, strobing lines that begin as a small bit near the center of my vision, and it grows and widens until it surrounds one side of my vision. I wonder whether severe headaches with the jagged lines are truly migraines. Can you spell it out for me? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; B.T. About 15 percent of migraine sufferers have an aura â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a sensation, most often visual, that precedes the headache. Your aura is one example.

Flashing lights, zigzag lines or an enlarging blind spot are other auras. The aura lasts from five to 60 minutes.

The other 85 percent of migraineurs have a headache that fulfills the criteria for a migraine without having an aura.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually a one-sided (60 percent to 70 percent), pounding headache that drives the affected person to seek a dark, quiet place to lie down. Bright light and loud sound add to the agony. Nausea and vomiting are common.

Menstruation, red wine, luncheon meats, too little sleep, too much sleep and stress are often triggers for a migraine headache.

Even without an aura, these kinds of things identify a headache as a migraine.

You are one of those people who have a migraine variant. Optical migraine goes by many

other names and has varying definitions. One definition is having a migraine HEALTH aura without coming Dr. Paul down with Donohue a headache â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your condition.

Another optical migraine is a loss of vision in one eye before or slightly after the onset of migraine headache. Ophthalmoplegic migraine disturbs the eye muscles.

Those muscles keep the eyes aligned. When these muscles are out of step, vision is distorted and blurred.

People who have these visual symptoms should consult their doctors to be absolutely sure that they are migraine-re-

lated and to determine if they need attention.

Dear Dr. Donohue: On a regular basis, my systolic blood pressure is relatively low but my diastolic is somewhat higher. I have had slight dizziness for the past week. My head feels foggy, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to think. I am middle-age, overweight, postmenopausal and a full-time student. Last week in class, I asked the same question three times. I can hear people speaking, but often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comprehend what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying. Besides regular studying, I have to cram and hope the professor gives us the test immediately. My blood pressure this morning was 108/84.

Could it be related to my cognitive issues? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; C.W. A normal blood

pressure is a reading lower than 120/80. Your systolic pressure of 108 is normal. Your diastolic pressure is a reading that most people your age would envy. Symptoms from low blood pressure usually donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear until the systolic pressure is below 90.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the cause of your cognitive problems. Could it be stress?

Fat cat wants to eat all the time

Dear E.L.: Many of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;weight controlâ&#x20AC;? diets for cats are simply high-fiber/low-calorie formulations of various ingredients that may not provide adequate nutrition, which results in animals being constantly hungry â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a distressing condition indeed.

The main culprits in setting off the metabolic disorder of obesity are over-feeding high-cereal content cat foods and highly palatable, highcaloric canned foods.

The consequences can be serious, including diabetes, fatty liver disease, heart problems and painful joints.

Dr. Elizabeth Hodgkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your Catâ&#x20AC;? will help you and many other cat owners with unhealthy fat cats.

For a start, transition onto a no-cereal cat food like Naturaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s EVO for cats (also canned EVO or PetGuardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s canned beef for cats) and feed one teaspoon six to eight times daily, along with a good quality multivitamin/ multimineral supple-

ment for cats that your veterinarian can prescribe.

Encourage your cat ANIMAL to play, especially DOCTOR in the early evening.

Dr. Michael Perk her Fox up with â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; some catnip, and give her a drop of good quality fish oil and a pinch (5 mg) of L-carnitine (crush the pill into a powder) in her food once a day, slowly working up to a teaspoon of fish oil daily and 50 mg of L-carnitine. These supplements will help reduce inflammation and help with weight loss, respectively.

Dear Dr. Fox: I am writing about some insights I have gained about cats soiling outside of their litter boxes.

My cat, Stormie, was the perfect cat. I had placed his litter box in the kitchen. The space was small and right in front of the oven. He used it a few times and then would go and do his thing behind the piano in the living room. That space was more open, next to a window that let in sunlight.

I would get angry with him and spend a lot of time cleaning the carpet he soiled. Then I thought he was trying to tell me something, so I moved the piano, covered the area with lots of newspapers and placed his litter box on top. From then on, there were no more incidents.

We humans tend to place the litter box out of the line of traffic and out of sight. Yes, it should be out of the line of traffic, but not necessarily out of sight; it must be placed where the cat feels comfortable. A way to work around that problem can

Monied interests States scramble after high court election ruling

BY TOM BREEN AND LAWRENCE MESSINA ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The U.S. Supreme Court’s rejection of decades-old campaign spending limits gives states scant time to face an election-year dilemma: brace for a flood of new money in politics, or find new ways to rein it in.

Within days of the ruling, state legislatures started reacting.

At least eight states are pushing for greater disclosure of political spending by corporations and unions.

At least three states, led

by West Virginia, would go further by requiring corporations or unions to get permission from their shareholders or members before they can spend money on elections.

In Citizens United vs.

FEC, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the government could not bar the conservative group Citizens United from distributing a movie critical of Hillary Rodham Clinton on local cable systems during the 2008 presidential campaign, when Clinton was a candidate.

That overturned parts of a 63-year-old law prohibiting companies and unions from using their general treasuries to produce and run campaign ads urging the election or defeat of particular candidates.

That means that November’s elections for federal and state office — including crucial races for legislative seats that will determine who redraws congressional districts

after the 2010 Census — could see a huge influx of special-interest money.

“The Citizens United case blew a hole in things, but it didn’t tell us how to patch it up,” said Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, the state’s chief elections officer.

Brunner has asked Ohio lawmakers to require greater disclosure from corporations, unions and other groups that buy the kinds of ads the court ruled are protected by the First Amendment.

She wants Ohio lawmakers to act before this year’s election spending

The Supreme Court ruling means that November’s elections for federal and state office could see a huge influx of special-interest money. begins in earnest.

“If the Legislature doesn’t act, what’s likely to happen is for someone to test the waters, push the envelope and then there’s likely to be litigation,” she said.

But groups that welcomed the Citizens United decision warn that states will invite successful legal challenges if they press beyond disclosure and pursue the sort of requirements being debated in West Virginia.

Instead, lawmakers should “set aside the white-hot passions about these issues” and simply spell out the new rules, said Jeff Patch, a spokes-

man for the nonpartisan Center for Competitive Politics, which opposes campaign finance limits.

Corporations and unions “want to know what the rules are so they can follow them,” Patch said.

“If the legislature does not give them a clear picture, it could result in a free-for-all.”

The most common state response so far is to require disclosure of donors behind the advocacy groups that often pop up in election years. Among states pursuing that approach are West Virginia, Alaska, Minnesota, Kentucky, Arizona, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Maryland.

“All states and the federal government ought to be strengthening their disclosure laws,” said Michael Malbin, executive director of the Campaign Finance Institute, a nonpartisan group affiliated with George Washington University.

“I think the court opened the door for more detailed disclosure requirements.”

Such requirements appeal to lawmakers in states like Wisconsin, which had passed a bill to limit campaign spending just two days before the Supreme Court’s ruling.

The effort effectively died after the court’s decision, but now lawmakers there are considering a measure requiring that corporate donors be named when running campaign ads.

Malbin noted that about half the states already allowed corporate spending before the ruling, and therefore were unaffected by it.

But the response since then isn’t limited to states whose laws were found unconstitutional, said Jennie Bowser, an elections analyst for the National Conference of State Legis-

When the U.S. Supreme Court struck down old limits on campaign spending in January, it left states facing an election year burden: brace for a flood of new money in elections, or find new ways to rein it in. latures. “This has drawn attention to corporate activity in campaigns in general, and Maryland’s a good example of that,” she said.

Maryland had no ban on independent expenditures, so it wasn’t directly affected by the ruling.

But its lawmakers are now looking at bills that would require corporate campaign advertisements to publicly disclose the corporation paying for the ad.

Maryland is also considering taking a more drastic step by requiring corporations’ shareholders to sign off on campaign spending, an approach also being contemplated in West Virginia.

The Maryland House of Delegates voted to require that a majority of shareholders approve of campaign spending over $10,000 by corporations based in the state.

Supporters cast the bill

as protecting shareholders. But the largely party-line vote in the Democrat-controlled chamber followed arguments that the bill threatens political speech in the name of increased transparency.

“Those attacks on the First Amendment that sound good are the most dangerous,” House Minority Leader Tim Armstead said during debate.

Iowa lawmakers considered but rejected shareholder requirements.

The Senate there passed a bill requiring corporations and unions to report their campaign spending and identify themselves in advertisements.

Such debates also have occurred in New York, where a similar measure is pending, and in South Dakota, where a shareholder approval bill died.

Associated Press Writer Molly Hottle in Des Moines contributed to this report.

Rep. Roy Blunt has been in Congress for 13 years, most of them in the Republican leadership. Democratic Secretary of State Robin Carnahan comes from a family with three generations of Washington politicians.

Yet both Blunt and Carnahan are campaigning against the powers that be as they attempt to win Missouri’s U.S. Senate seat left open by the retirement of longtime GOP Sen. Kit Bond.

It’s a sign of just how unpopular Washington is these days. Senate aspirants across the country are parroting the outsider theme that President Barack Obama himself campaigned on just two years ago.

That’s particularly true in the 11 states with open Senate seats.

Just 22 percent of Americans — less than at any previous point in Obama’s presidency — approve of Congress, according to an AP-GfK poll this month. Half say they want to fire their own congressmen. And the frustration is directed at both Republicans and Democrats.

“This is a year when people are very unhappy about the direction of the country. They’re very unhappy in particular about the performance of government and of Congress,” said Dave Robertson, a political scientist at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.

By JOHN LAMPKIN

AP | FILE

In this Jan. 15, 2009, file photo, airline passengers wait to be rescued on the wings of a US Airways Airbus 320 jetliner that safely ditched in the frigid waters of the Hudson River in New York, after a flock of birds knocked out both its engines. A reader-submitted question about, after a plane crash, what happens to passengers’ luggage is being answered as part of an Associated Press Q&A column called “Ask AP.”

Questions concern travelers’ luggage, skier’s death THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Saving people’s lives, of course, is an airline’s top priority whenever a plane crashes. But later on, what’s the procedure for trying to save their luggage?

Curiosity about who’s ultimately responsible for air travelers’ belongings inspired one of the questions in this edition of “Ask AP,” a weekly Q&A column where AP journalists respond to readers’ questions about the news.

If you have your own news-related question that you’d like to see answered by an AP reporter or editor, send it to newsquestions@ap.org, with “Ask AP” in the subject line. And please include your full name and hometown so they can be published with your question.

Q. During the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics, there was much coverage of a Scandinavian skier whose brother skied off into the woods and disappeared. Was the brother ever found?

Jan Conavay Jerome, Ill. A. In October 1993, Ketil Ulvang, the older brother of Olympic cross-country champion Vegard Ulvang, vanished in a snowstorm while jogging through the mountains near their hometown of Kirkenes, an Arctic village of about 5,000 people.

The younger Ulvang left training in Italy to search for Ketil, a physical therapist for Norway’s national ski team.

Hundreds of volunteers joined one of the biggest searches in Norwegian history, but found not

trace of Ketil.

In June 1994, days after the snow had melted and the search resumed, Ketil’s body was found floating in a shallow mountain lake. Kirkenes police spokeswoman Trude Danielsen said he most likely got lost in the snowstorm and fell through the ice.

Ian MacDougall AP Writer, Oslo, Norway Q. After a plane crash, what happens to passengers’ luggage? I’m thinking of the Hudson River splashdown, for example. Does the airline attempt to recover and deliver these belongings? Is returning bags or belongings considered a responsibility of the airline?

Alfonso Corona Miami A. There is a voluntary process developed by the National Transportation Safety Board in conjunction with air carriers for returning baggage and other personal belongings to passengers or their families after airline accidents.

How much baggage can be retrieved depends on the extent of damage in the accident.

After accident investigators go through everything, airlines usually hire a third party to clean baggage and other belongings.

Airline wreckage is considered a biohazard site.

If belongings are in-

tact, they can be delivered to passengers or family members. If the ownership of recovered belongings isn’t known, airlines often make photos available to passengers and family members so that they have an opportunity to claim their items. The airline is responsible for returning belongings, not the NTSB. Joan Lowy AP Writer, Washington Q. Under what circumstances was The Associated Press founded?

Jonathan Plotz Frankfurt (Oder), Germany A. The Associated Press sprang from Americans’ thirst for news from the Mexican War. War dispatches originated in Veracruz, crossed the Gulf of Mexico by boat, and landed at Mobile, Ala., where they encountered delays in waiting for the Great Southern Mail, the postal route through the South.

During the spring of 1846, the publisher of the New York Sun, Moses Yale Beach, hit on a scheme to speed the process. Beach hired Pony Express riders to carry the dispatches from Mobile to Montgomery, where they could rejoin the mail for the journey to Richmond, the nearest telegraph head.

From there, the dispatches could be wired to Washington and on to New York.

Scout builds trail for disabled MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

SANFORD – Boy Scout Robert Farrar, 18, gave 100 hours of his time during the past year to help those with disabilities.

Farrar created a nature trail on the property of the Stevens Center for his project in becoming an Eagle Scout. A dedication ceremony was held recently at the center to honor Farrar, part of Boy Scout Troop 61 in Lillington, for his volunteer work.

“Just like the general

community, the disabilities community is greatly in need of exercise,” said Mark Neuman, president of the center’s board of directors.

The nature trail offers an prime opportunity for those looking to exercise, said U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge, D-2nd.

“All of us need exercise, every child but more importantly adults as well,” Etheridge said. “This really promises it here in Lee County.”

The work of those who volunteer their time through Boy Scouts is val-

ued, Etheridge said. And for the Farrars, it’s a family tradition.

“Becoming an Eagle Scout as his dad (Wayne) did, it’s a very special thing,” Etheridge said.

“Scouting really is an extension of our churches, all of our civic groups ...”

Across the country every year, adults contribute 20 billion hours of volunteer work worth an estimated $225 billion, Etheridge said.

“You can’t put a dollar value on the work and the heart that goes into,” Etheridge told Farrar.

County approves incentives for mill

BY CAITLIN MULLEN MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

SANFORD – The Lee County Board of Commissioners approved $15.5 million incentive package for Frontier Spinning Mills at its Monday meeting.

In November, both the county and City of Sanford approved a $10 mil-

lion incentive proposal for Frontier Spinning that would add 30 jobs.

Then two weeks ago, at the request of Frontier Spinning officials, Lee County Economic Development Corporation Director Bob Heuts asked both the commissioners and the Sanford City Council members to tack on another $5.5 million proposal that would add

another 15 jobs.

In total, the new plan is expected to bring in 45 new jobs.

The city council will vote on the proposal at tonight’s meeting.

“This of course does add tax revenue. They’ll do some more construction work out there,” Heuts said. “Overall, the economic development corporation thought that would

be a benefit to the community. ... You’re looking at the same project, just an expanded project.”

The county will pay $69,647 over a five-year period based on Frontier’s performance. Heuts said he wanted to act on the opportunity to benefit Lee County.

If the city passes its portion, it will pay $50,146 over five years.

Centuries later, lost Shakespeare work ‘found’?

LONDON (AP) – Is this love’s labor no longer lost? A scholar says a play written in the 18th-century is very likely based on a missing work by William Shakespeare.

After years of literary investigation, a professor at the University of Nottingham said recently he’s certain “Double Falsehood, or the Distressed Lovers” was born out of “Cardenio,” a play Shakespeare scholars believe existed.

Some scholars believe Lewis Theobald’s “Double Falsehood,” first performed in London’s West End in December 1727, was based substantially on the Bard’s “Cardenio.”

“There is definitely Shakespearean DNA,” said English literature professor Brean Hammond, who has worked since 2002 to determine if “Double Falsehood” has Shakespearean

roots. Arden Shakespeare, an authoritative publisher of the Bard’s works, has released an edition of the play edited by Hammond – a decision the publisher acknowledges is controversial.

Arden’s general editor, Shakespeare scholar Richard Proudfoot, agrees with Hammond and says there is no absolute way of knowing if “Double Falsehood” is based on Shakespeare’s work, but he argues it is a “sufficiently sustainable position” that it represents the play in some form.

“My position is one of fairly confident – but cautious – acceptance,” he said.

“Double Falsehood” is inspired by Don Quixote, and features two female protagonists, dashing leading men, and an aristocratic villain.

Author releases ‘The Firm,’ 22 others as e-books NEW YORK (AP) – Bestselling author John Grisham is finally ready to go digital.

More than a year after reports emerged he would make his books available in electronic format, Random House, Inc. made it official last week, announcing that all 23 of his works can be purchased as e-texts.

“John Grisham is one of the greatest storytellers of all time,” Sonny Mehta, chairman and editor-inchief of the Random House division Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, said in a statement.

Grisham, the author of such favorites as “The Firm” and “The Pelican Brief,” has expressed

mixed feelings about e-books and the quickly growing market, currently Grisham estimated at around 3 percent to 5 percent of total sales.

In an interview with the “Today” show last fall, he worried that if e-books really caught on “then you’re going to wipe out tons of bookstores and publishers and we’re going to buy it all online.”

“I’m probably going to be all right,” he said, “but the aspiring writers are going to have a very hard time getting published.”

A museum worker walks around the galleries of the newly reopened Jewish Museum after a two-year closure in London. The museum, which has expanded from a Victorian house in London’s Camden Town to a former piano factory next door, tells the 1,000-year history of Jews in Britain.

London Jewish Museum reopens after major face-lift LONDON (AP) – They are icons of Britain: a Victorian-era statesman, a World War I soldier-poet, fish and chips.

They’re also Jewish – evidence of the 1,000-year history of Jews in Britain, whose story is told in a museum that reopened last week after a 10 million pound ($15 million) expansion.

“Fish and chips, which everyone thinks of as very English, is in fact Sephardic Jewish,” said celebrity chef Nigella Lawson, who helped relaunch the London Jewish Museum on Tuesday after a two-year closure. Many believe that Britain’s national dish has its origins in fried fish introduced to the country by Spanish and Portuguese Jews.

Food and the nature of Britishness both play a significant part in the museum, which has expanded from a Victorian house in London’s Camden Town to a former piano factory next door,

There also is a cavalcade of historical figures, both famous and obscure, including 19th-century Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli; war poet Isaac Rosenberg, killed on the Western Front; and Daniel Mendoza, an 18th-century boxing champion of England.

Their stories sit alongside those of humbler figures – laborers, seamstresses, trade unionists, entertainers.

“We’re telling the story of the Jewish community in London, but we’re also telling the story of London,” said Sarah Jillings, the museum’s exhibition project director.

Britain’s 300,000-strong Jewish community stretches back to 1066, when the first Jews arrived with William the Conqueror’s invading Norman army.

then you fall into a big black hole,” Meijer told The Associated Press at her Amsterdam home.

Annemarie Bekker, a spokeswoman for the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam said Berthe Meijer has previously been interviewed by museum historians and she had no reason to doubt Meijer’s testimony.

“It could very well be true,” Bekker said. “We can’t confirm it or deny it.”

But Hannah Pick-Goslar, a childhood friend of Anne Frank who also met her in Bergen Belsen, said she doubted Meijer’s recollection was accurate. “In that condition, you almost died,” she said in a telephone call from her home in Jerusalem. “You had no strength to tell stories.”

Brief this: Captain Underpants is back NEW YORK (AP) – Break out the briefs and red cape, if you dare. More tales of “Captain Underpants” are coming.

Author Dav Pilkey has agreed to write four more of the multimillionselling series that helped establish the giggly genre known as “poop fiction.”

The first book, “The Adventures of Ook and Gluk, Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future,” comes out in August with a

worldwide printing of 1 million copies, Scholastic announced.

“I think fans of Captain Underpants will be very happy with this new book,” Pilkey said. “It has all of the action, laughs and ridiculousness that kids love, plus all the unapologetic irreverence and questionable potty humor that grumpy curmudgeons love to complain about.

It’s got something for everybody!”

In this Oct. 7, 2009 file photo, Gerald Posner poses in the South Beach section of Miami Beach, Fla.

Posner says he failed to source book’s material NEW YORK (AP) – An author and journalist who resigned last month from the Internet news site The Daily Beast over allegations of lifting material acknowledged that passages in his latest book are similar to those of another writer.

Gerald Posner, whose many books include “Case Closed” and “Secrets of the Kingdom,” said in an interview with The Associated Press that a flawed research methodology for “Miami Babylon,” a nonfiction work released last fall by Simon & Schuster, led him

to use text from Frank Owen’s “Clubland” without giving proper credit.

“If you use something from another book, a statement from another book, it needs to be in quotations, or if you take something and put it in your own syntax and grammar, you still need to cite it,” Posner said Wednesday, adding that he would revise the material in question and would check the rest of the book for possible problems.

The Miami New Times reported the similarities last week.

Hairdresser retires in style T

he envelope please!

The credit for most of this column goes to Mike Difoggio followed closely by (a tie) the Rotary Club of High Point and the Kiwanis Club of High Point.

What a lineup! I will waste no more words and get right to the “heart of the matter.”

Often, I rely on the “kindness of strangers” for my column. I just don’t know about speABOUT cial people unless TOWN someone tells me.

Mary That is Bogest what ■■■ happened when Difoggio called to tell me about a very special person. His question, “Would you be interested?” was answered with a definitive “yes!”

And that “yes” was well deserved.

There were balloons everywhere when I arrived at the Mane Street & Co. Styling Salon located on – where else – ”Main” Street. Hairdressers were working busily with clients as I tried to discern my “prey.” I first spotted Gwen McSwain as she was over the sink bowl with her client. This was a very bittersweet week for McSwain.

After 41 years of hair styles, gels, dyes, perms and curlers, McSwain was “hanging up” her scissors and saying good-bye to the many clients who had become much more than that – her friends.

A table of edible goodies was set up at the back of the salon for the all-day reception for McSwain. It was a reception not to say “good-bye” to their friend but to wish her well. We talked as she cut (with the consent of her client, of course) and styled. I asked her what styles were popular when she started?

Blow drying had just become popular probably thanks to Farrah Fawcett and her “locks” that everyone wanted.

It wasn’t long before the talk went to her clients, “I have cried all week because of the relationships. I’ve seen children grow up, go to college. I have gone with them through the loss of husbands.” One of those clients is my friend Mary Jane Lindsay, “Gwen is a wonderful person. When my husband Bob was dying she would often come over to sit with him so I could run errands,” Lindsay said.

There were more stories as twins Mary Ridge and Kay More came in the salon bearing gifts. Laughter erupted as Ridge told of the Christmas Eve when McSwain was working late. She had no Christmas tree, so Ridge went to a tree lot. No one was there, so she loaded a tree into the trunk of her car for McSwain.

Kitty Montgomery came in carrying a bouquet of roses, McSwain’s favorite. Jane Bunch came in to give and receive a hug. Bunch says she has been a client – I mean “friend” of McSwain for more than 25 years.

McSwain recalled the time that, after hours, a lady was brought in on a stretcher so McSwain could style her wig for her funeral! You know

Retiring hairdresser Gwen McSwain (second from left) is surrounded by clients, aka her friends (from left) Jane Bunch, Kay More and Mary Ridge. the saying, “only her hairdresser knows?”

Well, that is most probably true of McSwain as through the years she has also become a trusted confidant – so trusted that clients often give her a blank check and just say, “You fill it in.”

“Oh, the stories she could tell,” exclaimed another friend.

In retirement, McSwain plans to travel, tend to her many rose bushes and to write a book – .it is a “tell-all” but not the kind that you are thinking. It will be about the “dos and don’ts” of being a hairdresser. In addition, she will continue her popular Sunday School Class at Green Street Baptist Church and then there is the Christian Woman’s Club. There is much for McSwain to do. While her “clients” will miss her she will still have her “friends!”

The civic clubs in our community do so much.

This year, I feel very proud to be an honorary member of the Rotary Club of High Point. I have attended many of their weekly meetings and still remain in awe of everything they do for our community and our world. They are truly committed to making a difference.

While all of the weekly programs are interesting and informative, none could ever equal what happened at a recently. I don’t think that anyone there will ever forget it.

After the weekly recitation of the “Pledge of Allegiance,” World War II veteran Fred Surret (father of Rick who was the husband of the late Rotarian Mindy, the sister of Kem Ellis) gingerly yet proudly stepped up to the podium to make a presentation to the Rotary Club of High Point on behalf of Veterans of Foreign War Post 1619. Surret, who resides at the Stratford Retirement Home, spoke of the four WWII veterans, also Stratford residents, who returned from Washington, D.C., after visiting the WWII Memorial on the Rotary Club-sponsored Flight of Honor. “They were four

of the happiest guys you have ever seen,” he said and added, “Through the years, Post 1619 accumulated extra savings. We want to donate $24,000 to the High Point Rotary!” In addition to a standing ovation, there were many tears around the room both because of the generosity of the gift but also because of the emotion and sacrifice that these members of VFW Post 1619 had given to our country.

These funds will be used for future Flights of Honor to Washington.

Tears turned to laughter as past District Gov. Dave McCoy said, “Fred Surret, you will be the first WWII veteran on the next flight!”

Now: equal time to the Kiwanis Club of High Point. Mark your calendar. They are holding their 30th Annual Pancake (all you can eat) Day fundraiser from 7 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, March 27, at Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church The pancakes are yummy and it is easily affordable at $5 and children under 6 eat free. You can get these tickets from a Kiwanis member or at the door.

This is a great way to spend a Saturday morning while letting someone else make breakfast and do the clean up. You may see Judy Mendenhall flipping the flapjacks or maybe David S. Miller wearing an apron or even maybe High Point Police Chief Jim Fealy pulling KP duty.

Bo Davis, this year’s chairperson along with Mark Harris told me that in addition to a delicious breakfast there will be entertainment, used book sale and silent auction.

The most important thing about this event is that you will be helping the children of High Point. The proceeds ($30,000 goal) go to twelve partner agencies which include the YMCA, YWCA, Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club and Communities in Schools among others. Isn’t High Point wonderful?
