Hege says ‘no’ to forum BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
DAVIDSON COUNTY – Gerald Hege has no plans to participate in a sheriff’s forum Tuesday night that is being organized by a group who opposes his candidacy. No Deals!, a nonpartisan association of more than 1,900 citizens, will hold the forum 6-9 p.m. Tuesday at the Edward C. Smith Civic Center in Lexington. There still will be tickets available at the door, said Oliver Lark, a No Deals! spokesman. Lark said his group had sent
invitations to each of the sheriff candidates, but had not heard from Hege as of Sunday evening. He said candidates David Grice, Thomas Evans, Edgar Shuler and Terry Price have confirmed that they would attend the forum. Hege told The High Point Enterprise Sunday he would not be in attendance because he says candidate forums don’t work. “I think that is one of those antiHege meetings,” Hege said. “I just never had attended (forums). It really serves no purpose as far as gaining any voters or anything. I’ll be out in the neighborhoods knock-
ing at doors and at Wal-Mart and get a whole lot more votes. Plus, I’m out of town, but I’ve never attended them in 40 years.” Hege said he recently had met with members of the No Deals! group at his campaign office in Arcadia. He said members were “running their mouth” that they couldn’t locate him. “They wanted to ask me 25 questions, but they only asked me three,” Hege said. “They were so nervous when they left that I thought they were going to throw up.” Lark said the forum was orga-

nized because his association created a Facebook group called, “No Deals! for Convicted Felon Gerald Hege.” He said thousands of people had joined the group. “When I saw that 1,900 people had joined with their opinion that they don’t believe that a felon should be the highest elected law enforcement officer in Davidson County, I thought it was probably pretty important that we got all the candidates together, so they could express their views to the public,” Lark said.
Cameron Aydlett-Cochran with Triad Financial Advisors earned the Chartered Financial Consultant professional designation from the American College of Bryn Mawr, Pa. Candidates for the designation must complete a minimum of eight courses and 16 hours of supervised examinations. They must also fulfill work experience and ethics requirements.

Bus seat belts not likely BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
Inside...
GUILFORD COUNTY – Parents are unlikely to see seat belts on local school buses any time soon, school district officials told a budget committee Tuesday. It would cost too much to fit the district’s fleet with belts, and there still is no consensus on whether the belts are needed, according to discussions. “It costs $10,000 to retrofit a bus, and the legislature does not want to fund it,” Jeff Harris, district transportation director, told the special committee of commissioners and board of education members. The district operates 548 tradi-

North Carolina and most other states follow federal guidelines which require bus compartmentalization structure with close seats with high backs and padding. Seat belts are required on school buses weighing 10,000 pounds or less with small capacities of 15 or 20 students. Adding belts on larger buses can reduce seating capacity. Every time there is a school bus collision, safety concerns arise
again. A Davidson County school bus ran off a roadway last Monday morning, hitting two vehicles. Ten people went to the hospital. Several of the students had minor injuries, according to initial reports. “The responsibility for safety comes back to us,” said Commissioner Bruce Davis of High Point. “We have to look at the possibility of facing a parent and saying we could not do all we could.” Statistics show that bus travel can be safer for students than for those who ride in cars to school. The N.C. Child Fatality Task Force reported in 2008 that on average six school bus passengers die each year compared with approximately 800 school-aged children killed

Students and teachers at Penn-Griffin School for the Arts show the check that helped meet fundraising goal.
Community Foundation boosts students ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
HIGH POINT – The students who have served as the pioneers for the Penn-Griffin School for the Arts will start a new school tradition after graduating this year – a senior trip. Since the curriculum is specifically focused on the visual and performing arts, the students chose New York City as the destination for the first trip. The students raised money for the trip by holding a yard sale, performing at corporate parties, holding a pie-in-the-face fundraiser, selling cookie dough, painting a mural and conducting several donation drives. As they started closing in on their final goal, they began to run out of ways to find those last dollars, and the High Point Community Foundation stepped in by using money from its Principals’ Fund, which is solely used to provide for unexpected needs that arise in the local High Point schools.
“The Principals in our local schools really have their hands full and often in the past have pulled money out of their own pockets to pay for student needs that had to be met,” said Vicki Miller, a retired principal and chairwoman of the fund. “While we admire their dedication, we at the foundation believe that our community needs to wrap our arms around the schools and support their efforts. The Principals’ Fund is overseen by a committee filled with community leaders, many who are not on the Community Foundation Board of Trustees, but who have experienced and displayed a commitment to our local schools.” The committee was impressed with the time and energy that the students had put into the fundraising and unanimously voted to support the trip. The Principals’ Fund was established in 2008 with the intent to grow it into a permanent endow-
ment. The Foundation hopes to accomplish this with help from individual donors and businesses so that over the years it will enable the schools to always have access to the things they need to be successful and to provide avenues to enrich the students’ lives. “I’m very proud of the work that Vicki and the Committee has done this past year,” states Paul Lessard, President, HPCF. “They pour an incredible amount of time and energy into making these decisions and I hope that our community will see the good work that is being done and give to this fund so it will continue to grow and impact more students. Every single gift counts whether it’s $1 or $10,000. Every penny will go to provide for these young people who do indeed represent the future of our community.” For more information on the Principals’ Fund and how to contribute, please call the Community Foundation office at 336-882-3298.
New petition seeks three-point restraints on buses ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
TRIAD – A Triad mother has joined leading highway safety, public health and child protection groups in a petition to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to “promptly mandate” seat belts for all school buses. The safety organizations claim that the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration has failed to require lap-shoulder belts in large school buses despite decades of evidence they are needed. Instead, the agency has relied solely on “compartmentalization” – high seat backs, padding and seat anchorages – to protect children in crashes. If NHTSA agrees with the petition, it could extend the lap-shoulder belt requirement to new large school buses. It could also
provide an incentive for states and school districts to retrofit existing large school buses with the restraints. Safety advocate Ruth Spaulding also joined the petition. She moved to the Triad from New Jersey where some school buses have lap-shoulder restraints. “I have been advocating for three-point seat belts on all-sized school buses since 2001 after my daughter’s school bus was involved in an accident in Greensboro,” she said. Since 1999, the transportation safety board has urged NHTSA to mandate restraints that retain children “within the seating compartment throughout the accident sequence for all accident scenarios.” Meanwhile, manufacturers continue to build

to customer orders. “A school bus is a custom built vehicle. While it is true all buses must meet minimum national standards, most people don’t realize that each state, county, city and school district has its own set of additional requirements that may or may not include seat belts,” said Maria McCullough, a spokesperson for Daimler Trucks North America, the parent company of Thomas Built Buses. “We do expect to see more states gradually heading in the direction of seat belts as some of the operator objections to the additional equipment have been eliminated by lap-shoulder belts. Thomas Built Buses understands this is a complex issue, and we will continue to offer our customers a choice.”

richment region, Welborn qualifies for additional help as well as through the Mission Possible program that pays teachers and administrators partly based on student test performance. “We know we have to be accountable,” Bolds said, “and for that you need measurement.” Low-performing schools are classified by failing to meet their expected growth standards and having less than 50 percent of their students’ scores at or above Achievement Level III. School districts must develop improvement plans for the schools. All of the low-performing schools had performance composites below the district average of 66.5 percent on the Adequate Yearly Progress, or AYP, grade-level score. Title I schools that don’t make AYP goals for five years must be turned over to a project team for restructuring. While testing puts stress on schools, it can be a mystery for parents, Bolds said. “We have to explain to some parents what AYP is and why it is important for the report card,” Bolds said. “We try not to talk about testing all the time, but it is there.”

ones, identify students with special educational needs and to compare a school system’s performance against other systems. “We try to stress growth with students,” said Lori M. Bolds, principal of Welborn Academy of Science and Technology. “We may not achieve the expected growth, but that is our emphasis. It is about what you do to make the best progress.” Teachers are aware of the tests every day. Critics claim that preparing for tests is distracting and does not emphasize other important parts of a wellrounded education, like critical thinking, for example. But whether or not you agree with the critics, testing is a fact of life in public education today, and schools like Welborn must adapt and make sure students are ready for the barrage of testing that lies ahead. Welborn and other middle schools offer weekend sessions to help prepare students for tests. “The school day and our Saturday sessions are practice for the game,” said Bolds, a former basketball coach. During the school day and after, tutors, some of them volunteers, help students prepare for tests. As part of the district’s en-

Woman dies in crash with driver fleeing checkpoint
‘Fatal Vision’ killer appeals verdict RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – Forty years after Jeffrey MacDonald’s pregnant wife and two daughters were slain, the former Army surgeon is getting another chance to convince a court he did not commit the crime that spawned the book and TV miniseries “Fatal Vision.� His hopes of winning a new trial hinge largely on new DNA evidence and statements from two people that cast doubt on the testimony of Helena Stoeckley, the woman MacDonald claims was part of a band of drug-crazed hippies that killed his family in 1970. A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will give MacDonald’s lawyers about an hour Tuesday to show he deserves a new trial. A potential problem for MacDonald, 66, is that he has outlived the people whose sworn statements are crucial to his appeal – Stoeckley’s mother, who said her daughter told her she was in the MacDonald home the night of the killings, and a former federal marshal who said he heard a prosecutor intimidate Stoeckley before the trial. Stoeckley also is dead. Prosecutors say in court papers that allowing those statements with no opportunity to hear live testimony would be improper. MacDonald, however, claims the statements are covered by a law that says evidence must “be viewed as a whole.� MacDonald argues the law also allows the DNA evidence, but the government wants the test results excluded because they were not among the items
the court explicitly authorized for the appeal. MacDonald was an Army captain assigned to the Green Berets at Fort Bragg, N.C., when his wife Colette and daughters Kimberley, 5, and Kristen, 2, were slain on Feb. 17, 1970. MacDonald told military police he slept on the sofa because Kristen, sleeping with her mother, had wet his side of the bed. He said he was awakened by their screams and was attacked by intruders – three men and a woman with long blond hair, a floppy hat and boots who carried a lighted candle and chanted “acid is groovy; kill the pigs.� The Army began the equivalent of a grand jury proceeding, and after nearly three months the presiding officer declared the allegations against MacDonald “not true.� But federal prosecutors continued an investigation that led to his 1979 trial. They theorized that a club-wielding MacDonald fought with his wife over the wet bed, accidentally killed Kimberley when she tried to intervene and then killed his wife and Kristen. Character witnesses, however, described MacDonald as a loving father and husband who had never shown violent tendencies. MacDonald was convicted and sentenced to three consecutive life terms. The 4th Circuit tossed the convictions on speedy trial grounds, and he returned to work at the California hospital. But within two years, the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the convictions, and MacDonald returned to prison.

Prospects for Middle East peace aren’t good I’m writing concerning the situation in the Middle East, and especially as it concerns Israel. I see in the recent news where our vice president was over there trying to get the “road map to peace,” restarted and dealing with Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel and who also has a mind of his own. Just don’t get your hopes up too high, as we see the West Bank has cut through the “waist of Israel,” and they don’t have much land to trade for peace. Back in 1990, a Jew prophesied that about the turn of the century 2000, that there would be a worldwide financial collapse; resulting in the Jews being persecuted and blamed for it. And as a result, many of the Jews would want to return back to their homeland, Israel. So this man, being rich, was building houses in Israel to accommodate the returnees. Consequently, work is still going on, both in the West Bank and in East Jerusalem. I don’t see much prospect for any immediate peace. But in the long term, I can see on the authority of the words of God, “The Bible” where there will be real peace when “the Prince of Peace,” the “Lord Jesus Christ” Himself shall rule and reign from the throne of David – at Jerusalem.

The West Bank has cut through the ‘waist of Israel.’
Focus efforts on helping people who need it It never ceases to amaze me that people waste time condemning others about their sinful ways. Why wouldn’t they spend time helping people? A High Point Enterprise article of March 13 is about the number of returning veterans needing jobs. As of last year, 1.9 million had deployed for the wars since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Many of these veterans are struggling with mental health problems, addictions and homelessness. It seems we have a habit of sending people to fight wars and have little or no concern for them upon returning to civilian

life. Of course veterans are entitled to VA health care, but what about the family they might have? That is one reason why I believe we need a health care plan to help those who do not have insurance. Dick Cheney continues to receive excellent health care paid for by taxpayers, but he received five or more deferments for the Vietnam War because he was busy making money. His “connection” with Haliburton Corp., a private contractor has made billions from Iraqi and Afghanistan wars. I have friends who can no longer pay the high premiums for health care. All of the Bible scholars who write should pay attention to God when He says, “When you refuse to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you are refusing to help me.” KAY P. SPANGLE High Point
America ignores God, worships money, government President Barack Obama was questioned about his religious beliefs. He claimed to be a Christian, although he was born to a Muslim father but is regarded by all Muslims as a Muslim. He spent years in a church in Chicago in which the pastor preached a kind of black racism, heard cries for God to damn America, and the president honored men like Louis Farrakan, a black Muslim minister. Something is wrong with this picture. Obama’s administration had the cross and symbols of Christianity removed from the stage as he spoke at Georgetown University, plus he attends a private chapel
rather than a church in Washington. Read Hebrews 10:25. The president demonstrates little evidence of an interest in living a Christian life. Many politicians today proclaim that they themselves are Christians, yet appoint judges that will throw Christian traditions out of our public schools and courthouses. These same politicians like to be seen going to church carrying their Bibles. We need to elect people to government positions that have faith that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the only way to salvation (John 14:6) whose daily lives are a life of holiness and purity. None are perfect. The Christian will not lie to hide his sin, nor will he put fame and fortune above his faith in Christ. We are seeing real Christians are not common today. Sorry to say, I believe we elect people who are reflections of the people who vote for them. America has learned to ignore God, to worship money, and to be dependent on the government for everything. Which politicians are Christians? Ones who will put Jesus Christ at the center of their lives, and are not ashamed to say, Jesus Christ is the only hope, not government. REID JOYCE High Point
E. Ramsey (“Bible clearly says homosexual behavior is a sin,” March 8), Toby Brady (“Writer misuses science to try to make God a liar,” March 10), and Ray Alcon (“God is clear in condemning homosexual behavior,” March 12). The misuse of Scripture to condemn as sin the love between same-gender couples says more about the letter writers than it does about God or gays. Jesus regularly upbraided the fundamentalists of his day. They placed the letter of the law above the spirit of the law written on the heart. All law can be summed up in this: love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself. The word sinner is a social label, a means of excluding some people by marking them as deviant or morally inferior. All one has to do to earn the label “sinner” is be different in some particular way. Why would a loving god create millions of gay people and then deny them permission to express their love? That would be cruel and sadistic. It’s unbelievable that gay Americans are persecuted for something as beautiful as the act of love. The injustice, abuse, and spiritual violence must end. William Sloane Coffin, another great theologian, said, “The opposite of love is not hatred but fear ... for while love seeks the truth, fear seeks safety, the safety so frequently found in dogmatic certainty, in pitiless intolerance. So I believe the captives most in need of release ... are really less the victims than their oppressors – the captives of conformity, the racists, the sexists, the homophobes, all who live in dark ignorance because their fears have blown out the lamp of reason.” CRIS R.

Do we run to or from Glenn Beck’s Gospel? “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness ...” – Matthew 5:6
U
ltimately, I suppose, what we’re talking about is a clash between the sweet by and by and the fierce urgency of now. The former is the refrain from a venerable gospel song that meditates on the bliss of life after life. The latter is a phrase from Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream,” a passionate demand for justice, equality and freedom, “now.” Into the tension between these two disparate views of Christian mission stumbles one Glenn Beck. The Fox News showman recently ignited an uproar in the world of Christian ministry by attacking churches that preach a gospel of social and economic justice, i.e., a gospel that doesn’t just promise relief in the sweet by and by, but seeks to effect change in the hard here and now. If your church preaches that, Beck told his radio audience, “run as fast as you can.” Social and economic justice, he said, are “code words” for communism and Nazism. In response, the Rev. Jim Wal-
lis, a preacher of the social gospel and president and CEO of the liberal religious activist group Sojourners, suggested on his blog that what OPINION Christians should run from is Beck Leonard himself. Beck, he Pitts wrote, attacks the ■■■ very heart of their faith. “When I was in seminary,” he says, “we made a study of the Bible and we found 2,000 verses in the Bible about the poor, about God’s concern for the left out, left behind, the vulnerable and God’s call for justice. If I were ever to talk to Glenn Beck, I would hand him that old Bible from seminary where we cut out of the Bible every single reference to the poor, to social justice, to economic justice, and when we were done, the Bible was just in shreds. And I would hand it to him and put a sticker on front and say, ‘This is the Glenn Beck Bible.’ “ I ran Beck’s comments by two other preachers of my acquaintance, and they seconded Wallis. But Beck, says the Rev. R. Joa-
quin Willis of Miami’s Church of the Open Door, is not alone. Many others, he said, “Would like to see many of us as pastors just come to church and deal with the spiritual needs of the people and not address those difficult day-to-day issues that make life so hard.” Beck, adds Willis, “speaks from the perspective of the entitled and the relatively well off and they don’t see a need for social improvement. Anybody that’s trying to improve the society is a communist to him.” “It’s hard,” says the Rev. Tony Lee of Community of Hope in Temple Hills, Md., “for a church to sit and talk to somebody about how to change their lives and how to turn things around when the institutions around that person are broken. It’s hard for me to talk to young people about how God can make a way and how they can move forward and be all they can be “through” God – but their educational system is in pieces. What Glenn Beck is saying is, ‘Don’t have a role in the shaping of the educational system.’ “ For the record, Martin Luther King preached a social gospel. Even the preachers in the anti-
YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.
abortion movement preach a social gospel. And the idea that such people are enemies of the state is as visceral a reminder as you’re likely to get of the paranoia and intellectual discontinuity that afflicts extremist conservatism. Fifty years ago, they saw communists behind every movie marquee and schoolhouse door. Now, Beck sees them in pulpits, too. And I suppose the way not to be a communist in his eyes is to embrace a gospel that promises uplift in the sweet by and by – and only then. But that’s a lazy, complacent gospel, a gospel of self-satisfaction and I got mine, of egocentricity and look out for number one – and it doesn’t square with the gospel of feed my sheep and love your neighbor as yourself. He thinks we should flee the church that preaches social and economic justice? I think you should flee the one that does not.

NATIONAL OUTCRY: Thousands rally for immigration reform. 6A

Iran’s supreme leader cold to Obama overture TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – Iran’s supreme leader sharply denounced the United States on Sunday, accusing it of plotting to overthrow its clerical leadership, in a chilly response to an overture by President Barack Obama for better cultural ties with Iran. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei did not outright reject Obama’s offer, saying Iran would keep an eye on Washington’s intentions. But the supreme leader said that so far, Washington’s offers of engagement with Tehran have been a deception.
The exchange was a sign of how Obama’s hopes for dialogue with Iran have broken down amid Tehran’s rejection of Western Khamenei demands over its nuclear program and its heavy crackdown on the opposition following disputed presidential elections last June. In his message, released Friday night to coincide with the Iranian new year, Nowruz, Obama told the Iranian people
that the Americans want better cultural exchanges with Iran – but he also criticized the Iranian leadership for “turning its back� on U.S. overtures. Khamenei, who has the final say on all political matters in Iran, lashed back in a nationally televised address in an annual provincial visit to his hometown, Mashhad, telling the Americans, “You cannot speak about peace and friendship while plotting to hit Iran.� In particular, he denounced U.S. criticism of the postelection crackdown. Iran has ar-
rested thousands in the wake of widespread protests that erupted against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s victory in the June vote, which the opposition says was fraudulent. Referring to Obama’s message, Khamenei said, “We will examine the issue with sharp vision to determine if it really is a friendship hand and a friendly intention or hostile one in a deceptive framework.� He said that in response to past overtures, “we said that if they are extending a metal
hand inside a velvet glove, we won’t accept. Unfortunately, what we had guessed took place.� U.S. support for the opposition proved that Obama’s claims to seek dialogue were a deception, he said. “The new U.S. administration ... said they are willing to normalize relations. But unfortunately in practice they did the opposite,� Khamenei told a large crowd in the northeastern city of Mashhad, who several times broke into chants of “death to America� and “death to Obama.�

The ex-presidents are spearheading U.S. fundraising in response to the Jan. 12 earthquake. Tapped by President Barack Obama for the role, they are making the one-day visit to assess recovery needs.

Israel: No building restrictions in east Jerusalem JERUSALEM – Israel will not restrict construction in east Jerusalem, Israel’s prime minister said Sunday hours before leaving for Washington, despite a clear U.S. demand that building there must stop and a crisis in relations between the two longtime allies. Benjamin Netanyahu’s hard-line statement came just hours before he was scheduled to leave for Washington. His meeting with President Barack Obama Tuesday will be the first high-level meeting since the crisis erupted 10 days ago.
Militant group in Kabul with draft peace deal KABUL – Thirteen Afghan civilians died in violence Sunday as the nation’s hard-line vice president expressed hopes for reconciliation and representatives of a militant group with ties to the Taliban brought their own draft of a peace deal to the capital. Talk of reconciling with insurgents has done little to slow the fighting across Afghanistan, yet the issue is gaining steam, partly fueled by a “peace jirga� that Afghan President Hamid Karzai will host in late April or early May.
Pope does not mention rebuke to Irish bishops VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI on Sunday urged Catholics to refrain from judging sinners a day after he rebuked Irish bishops for their handling of a half-century of sexual abuse of minors by clergy. While the pope made no mention of the Vatican’s widely criticized policy of cloaking abuse allegations in secrecy, a Swiss churchman called for the Holy See to start a registry of molester clergy to avoid more shuttling by bishops of pedophile priests from parish to parish.
Iceland fears 2nd, even larger volcanic eruption REYKJAVIK, Iceland – A volcano in southern Iceland has erupted for the first time in almost 200 years, raising concerns that it could trigger a larger and potentially more dangerous eruption at a volatile volcano nearby. The eruption at the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, located near a glacier of the same name, shot ash and molten lava into the air but scientists called it mostly peaceful. It occurred just before midnight Saturday (2000 EDT, 8 p.m. EDT) at a fissure on a slope – rather than at the volcano’s summit – so scientists said there was no imminent danger that the glacier would melt and flood the area.

Recount demanded in Iraq With final tally not yet completed, al-Maliki’s coalition trails by narrow margin to Allawi BAGHDAD (AP) – Iraq’s president on Sunday demanded a recount in this month’s historic parliamentary elections, intensifying the political conflict over the notyet-completed tally and increasing the chances that the vote will be a long, chaotic test of the nascent democracy. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s coalition is narrowly trailing in the overall vote tally to one led by former prime minister Ayad Allawi, with 95 percent of the vote counted. President Jalal Talabani, whose own coalition is losing to Allawi’s secular alliance in a key
province, invoked the power of his office in calling for a recount. On his official Web site, Talabani demanded that the Independent High Electoral Commission manually recount the ballots to “preclude any doubt and misunderstanding� about the results. He said he was making the demand “as the president of the state, authorized to preserve the constitution and to ensure justice and absolute transparency.� Al-Maliki on Saturday called on the election commission to quickly respond to requests from political blocs for a recount.
Officials: US missiles kill 4 in Pakistan MIR ALI, Pakistan (AP) – Suspected U.S. drones fired missiles Sunday at a house and car in a militant-dominated tribal region near the Afghan border, killing at least four people, officials said. The attack occurred in the Datta Khel area of North Waziristan, two intelligence officials said.
The drones fired three missiles, they added, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media. The identities of those killed were not known, though the region is dominated by the Taliban’s Haqqani network, which is blamed for launching attacks across the border.

The commission has rejected such calls, and Iraqi law empowers neither Talabani nor al-Maliki to force the issue. The panel is an independent body appointed by parliament, and submits its results only to the country’s supreme court for ratification. A recount or a protracted election dispute could complicate the seating of a new government. In Iraq’s fledgling democracy, such periods of political instability have often been accompanied by violence, as debates not settled at the negotiating table are taken to the streets.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Summoned to success by President Barack Obama, the Democraticcontrolled Congress approved historic legislation Sunday night extending health care to tens of millions of uninsured Americans and cracking down on insurance company abuses, a climactic chapter in the century-long quest for near universal coverage. Widely viewed as dead two months ago, the Senate-passed bill cleared the House on a 219-212 vote, with Republicans unanimous in opposition. Congressional officials said they expected Obama to sign the bill as early as Tuesday. A second measure – making
changes in the first – was lined up for passage later in the evening. That measure would go to the Senate, where Democratic leaders said they had the votes to pass it. Across hours of debate, House Democrats predicted the central bill, costing $940 billion over a decade, would rank with other great social legislation of recent decades. “We will be joining those who established Social Security, Medicare and now, tonight, health care for all Americans, said Speaker Nancy Pelosi, partner to Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in the grueling campaign to pass the legislation.

President Barack Obama, who promised to make overhauling the immigration system a top priority in his first year, sought to reassure those at the rally with a video message presented on giant screens at the National Mall. The president said he was committed to working with Congress this year on a comprehensive bill to fix a “broken immigration system.� He said problems include families being torn apart, employers gaming the system and police officers struggling to keep communities safe.

Council orders more homes vacated
WHO’S NEWS

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – Blighted properties were once again on the City Council’s agenda this week. The council unanimously adopted ordinances to vacate and close four dwellings that have been deemed substandard based on minimum housing code violations. Once the properties are vacant, officials will determine whether repairs are feasible or if the dwellings should be demolished. The issue has gotten recent attention from council members, who voted last month to demolish additional houses. They are expected to revisit the topic after city officials provide an updated list of potentially substandard properties on which the city has been keeping tabs. The ordinances adopted Thursday were for the following properties: • 509 Chesnut Drive, owned by Carolina Bank, which took possession of the property through a foreclosure. The bank sought an order to vacate the property from the city and has a court proceeding scheduled seeking to have a tenant removed from the property, where inspectors found violations including no functioning heating unit. • 1221 S. Elm St., owned by Phy-Linda Investments. The house has had no utilities since Nov. 2007 and has been vandalized. Building and repair permits have been obtained, but no work has been started. The ordinance allows inspectors to close and placard the dwelling, as required by state law. • 1208 Kimery Drive, owned by Eugene Monk. Inspectors found 14 housing code violations at the site after conducting an inspection in response to complaints from the neighborhood. None of the violations involved anything structural and were deemed minor. The ordinance allows inspectors to close and placard the dwelling, as required by state law. • 2302 Dallas Ave., owned by Star Lee. Inspectors found 11 minor and one major violation and issued an order to repair in November 2009 that carried a Feb. 18 compliance date. No permits have been issued, repairs have not started and the dwelling is vacant and secure. The ordinance allows inspectors to close and placard the dwelling, as required by state law. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Recipe for disaster Rash of kitchen fires has authorities promoting cooking safety BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – High Point fire officials are stressing safety messages after a recent rash of kitchen fires that resulted in injuries and property damage. Through the first half of March, five kitchen fires in the city injured three people, two of whom required hospitalization. While the injuries weren’t life-threatening, officials said they’re seeing instances where people have put themselves in danger in ill-advised attempts to put a fire out on their stove or in their oven instead of promptly calling 911. “The main thing is is that we’ve got to get these folks to concentrate on making sure they get out and making sure they call 911, even more so than trying to put the fire out,” said Capt. Denita Lynch of the High Point Fire Department. “If it’s something small, that’s different, but some of these fires when they’re being found, they’re way too big, and people just need to evacuate.” Historically, cooking fires
has topped the list of calls to which the fire department responds. From March 1, 2009 through March 1, 2010, there were 98 reported kitchen fires that caused an average of
‘The really bad part is, a lot of these have been in apartments here recently, so it’s not just that one occupant that’s at risk.’ Capt. Denita Lynch High Point Fire Department $22,765 in property damage per incident. The majority involve food that is left unattended on a stove or in an oven. Some of the injuries are due to smoke inhalation. Other times, touching a hot pan or splattering grease results in burn injuries. Smoke from a pot left on a
stove drew firefighters to a house at 509 Gatewood Ave. near downtown Friday night. No one was home or injured, though firefighters had to air out the house.. “The really bad part is, a lot of these have been in apartments here recently, so it’s not just that one occupant that’s at risk. It’s everybody in an apartment complex or apartment building,” Lynch said. While officials said the top priorities in a kitchen fire should be getting to safety and calling 911, simple measures are recommended to contain small fires. For a grease fire in a pan, for instance, it’s advisable to smother the flames by sliding the lid over the pan and turning the stove off. If a blaze breaks out in an oven, simply turning the oven off and leaving the door closed is the best course of action, officials said. “If people are going to try and fight a fire, we need to make sure they’re getting other people out of the house and trying to do it properly,” Lynch said.

GUILFORD COUNTY – Although the county school district has a standing committee that follows test performance and suggests program improvements, low scores and low performance still worry county officials. “I am concerned that the scores are still low, especially in programs like the SCALE academies,” Guilford County Board of Education member Sandra Alexander, a former English teacher and administrator at three colleges, said during a recent budget committee meeting. The SCALE Academy
program, mostly for suspended students, offers an opportunity to develop job-training programs, Alexander said. “This offers the young men a skill they use later,” she said. Also guided by test scores, county officials are evaluating magnet schools and successful academies, such as the Middle College at North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University. “If we offered other single-sex programs, we could see the scores go up as they have at this middle college,” Alexander said. Meanwhile, the achievement gap between white students and AfricanAmerican, 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. In 2008-09, 43.6 percent of African-American students in grades three through eight passed endof-the grade math and reading tests, compared to 76.7 percent of white students, a 33.1 percentagepoint gap – not far from the 30 percentage-point gap in 2000-01. In the Guilford County Schools, the latest results showed the testing gap between African-American and white students has narrowed in both reading and math. In 2007-08, there was a 37.1 percentage gap for reading and a 29.3 percentage gap for math. The 200809 results showed a 33.1 percentage gap for reading and a 22.6 percentage gap for math. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Udall, former Interior Secretary, dies at 90 SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) – Stewart Udall, an elder in a famed political family who led the Interior Department as it promoted an expansion of public lands and helped win passage of major environmental laws, has died at the age of 90. During his 1961-68 tenure as interior secretary, Udall sowed the seeds of the modern environmental movement. He later became a crusader for victims of radiation exposure from the government’s Cold War nuclear programs. Udall died of natural causes Saturday at his home in Santa Fe, surrounded by his children and their families, according to statement released through the of-
fice of his son, Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M. Udall, brother of the late 15-term congressman Morris Udall, served six years in Congress as a Democrat from Arizona, and then headed the Interior Department from 1961 through 1968 under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. Udall helped write several of the most far-reaching pieces of legislation, including the Wilderness Act of 1964, which protects millions of acres from logging, mining and other development. More than 60 additions were made to the National Park system during the Udall years, including Canyonlands National Park in Utah, North Cascades National Park in Washington,

The nuclear-powered aircraft carriers Harry S. Truman (left) and the George H.W. Bush are docked at Naval Station Norfolk in Norfolk, Va. Norfolk could lose its exclusive claim as the East Coast homeport for the Navy’s nuclearpowered aircraft carrier fleet.
Proposed carrier move making East Coast waves NORFOLK, Va. (AP) – When an aircraft carrier returns to the world’s largest naval base, it doesn’t take long for businessman Jake Cobb to know thousands of sailors are back from a deployment. Many head to Cobb’s spa and hair salon for a “high and tight” military cut, a massage or even a pedicure. Cobb offers a 10 percent discount to military customers and it pays off: they represent at least 30 percent of his business, located 6 miles from the base. The community is tightly tied to the Navy by history, culture and economics. So a proposal to move one of the five nuclear-powered carriers from Naval Station Norfolk to Florida is making waves.
Business owners in particular are jittery about the prospect of Norfolk losing its exclusive claim as the East Coast’s homeport for the Navy’s nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleet – and the business impact of losing a carrier crew of more than 3,000 sailors. But the threat cuts deeper than dollars and cents in this town where a century ago Richard Ely became the first person to fly a plane from a ship. The $4.5 billion warships are the world’s largest, dubbed “cities on the sea” because of their mammoth dimensions. They are built nearby at Newport News and the crew and military spouses are part of this city of approximately 230,000. “The fuel of our economy is the
Navy. It’s our industry,” said Ed Snyder, who operates a dozen auto dealerships in the region. Snyder and his son, Steve, said Checkered Flag Auto Group has annual sales of 12,000 to 13,000 vehicles, with 20 percent of the sales to military buyers. “ ‘N’ is for Navy and ‘N’ is for Norfolk,” the elder Snyder said. With billions of dollars and thousands of jobs at stake, the tug-of-war over one the planet’s most fearsome war ships is setting the stage for a political battle from governors’ offices in Richmond and Tallahassee, Fla., to Capitol Hill and ultimately the White House. The prospect of Norfolk losing a carrier has been kicking around for years.
Husband’s young crush leaves wife feeling flat
D
ear Abby: My husband, “Roger” – 64 and retired – has a crush on a 25-year-old woman who lives in our small community and who runs a dress shop I frequent. Roger is usually quiet and reserved, but when he sees “Patti,” he utters loud cries and runs to her side. He examines every detail of her clothing, makeup, etc., and takes her hand and compliments her on her soft skin, her ring or the color of her nail polish. From the expression on her face and the looks she exchanges with the other women in the shop, it’s clear she considers him a pest. I have spoken up and said, “Patti must have a grandfather your age,” or, “There’s no fool like an old fool,” but Roger ignores it. My concern is that he’s making a fool of himself in public and, by extension, me. I’m so embarrassed, I can no longer walk into my favorite dress shop. Patti is popular. She has many dates and is not interested in Roger. I hate to be pitied by others. What can I do to stop this? – Old Fool’s Wife in Alabama Dear Wife: Roger’s “crush” is a reflection on him, not you, so keep your cool and please stop calling him an old fool. It’s insulting and belittling, so of course he’ll tune you out. Try this instead, “Roger, when you act the way you do when you’re around Patti, it’s embarrassing to me. That’s why I prefer you no longer accompany me when I go there.” Then, when you shop
for clothing, go without him. And instruct Patti and the saleswomen that ADVICE if Roger drops by Dear without Abby you to tell ■■■ him he’s welcome – IF he’s buying something for you. That way, instead of a problem, you’ll have a windfall, and so will they. You can even leave a “wish list” with Patti in advance. Dear Abby: I was recently married, but we had to postpone our honeymoon for a couple of weeks due to weather and the loss of a sitter for my wife’s daughter. The day after our wedding, my bride, “Brenda,” informed me that we had a dinner date the following Monday with another married couple who are friends of hers. I gladly accepted, thinking it would be fun to go out and celebrate since our plans had fallen through. The day before the dinner I was told that the husband (in the couple) had to work – so Brenda and his wife would go out to dinner and, if it was OK with me, I would stay home and baby-sit my new stepdaughter. I felt I had no say in the matter, and to keep things positive in this brand-new marriage, I agreed. I have no problem with Brenda going out alone with her friend, but I did feel slighted. Shouldn’t the dinner have been postponed until a time
when we were all available? Or should I have accepted this “girls’ night out” with more grace? – Honeymoon-deprived in Knoxville Dear Honeymoon-deprived: It depends upon how “graceless” your reaction was. While I don’t blame you for feeling slighted, the dinner could have been rescheduled for when the husband was available, or you could have been included. I hope you told your wife how it made you feel because it may make her more sensitive to your feelings in the future. Dear Abby: My wife and I were out to dinner with two other couples who are also good friends. We all enjoyed a couple of bottles of wine during our meal. When the check came, we split it three ways. However, one of the other couples insisted that we should tip only on the food portion of the bill. I said we should tip on the entire bill, including the cost of the wine. Who was correct? – Properly Served in New Hampshire Dear Properly Served: You were. The tip should have been computed on the entire tab – and that includes the wine that you “all” enjoyed with your meals. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Rebels outnumber Yankees at re-enactment FOUR OAKS (AP) – If the Confederates had had these numbers, the war may have ended differently. More than 3,500 Civil War re-enactors filled a field Saturday to re-create the largest and last major Civil War battle in North Carolina. The event happens every five years on the anniversary of the 3-day battle that saw a small Confederate force led by Gen. Joseph Johnston overwhelmed by more than 60,000 of U.S. Gen. William Sherman’s troops as the war came to a close in 1865. This weekend, however, Southern soldiers outnumbered the Northern contingent 2to-1 at the battle of Bentonville.

Ex-owner of Bobcats slams Charlotte CHARLOTTE (AP) – Former Charlotte Bobcats owner and billionaire Bob Johnson told a group of mostly black business people Saturday that the Carolinas’ largest city has an arrogant business community that doesn’t do enough for black-owned businesses. Johnson’s comments were reported by The Charlotte Observer. “Charlotte is a very, how would I call it, closeknit, arrogant, sometimes incestuous town,” Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television, told the Urban Leadership Institute after receiving an award from the organization. “It’s close-knit, and if you come to this town, and you look like you’re one of those people that might break some glass ... it’s going to be tough for them to relate to. “The thing that concerns me is that I’m just surprised that the city doesn’t do more for African-American small
businesses. And I don’t really understand that.” Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx, who also spoke at the Saturday event, later told the Observer that the city’s attitude toward minority-owned businesses is improving. “It’s becoming increasingly clear that our city’s leadership base is broadening,” said Foxx, who is black. “What used to be a small group of people leading a large population is now becoming a larger group of people leading even a larger population. Just by nature of the fact that there are more voices at the table.” Johnson, who did not speak to reporters after making his remarks, said he was surprised there weren’t more substantial alliances between larger white-owned businesses and minority-owned businesses. But he also said black business owners have to be aggressive in working to improve the climate.

Proactive department saves lives
W
e all know taxes are a necessary part of city government. Taxes fund essential services such as garbage collection and police and fire protection. Everyone wishes they paid fewer taxes, but unfortunately none of these services are inexpensive, and costs continue to rise. As a government agency, the fire department has a responsibility to spend tax dollars wisely FIREHOUSE and as efCHAT ficient as possible. Lee We must Knight strive ■■■daily to try to utilize the tax dollars that have been entrusted to us by the people of High Point. Daily we see fire trucks throughout the city responding to fires and medical calls. Obviously, this is an important part of our job, but it’s just one of many responsibilities. In the past, fire departments were mainly reactive agencies. When emergencies happened we responded and controlled the problem. Little emphasis was put on preventing tragedies. Fire departments today are much more proactive, putting more effort into fire prevention. Here are some of the many ways we serve the residents of High Point. An increased emphasis on fire inspections helps eliminate hazardous conditions, which reduces the number of fires. More time and effort are being directed toward public education, including efforts to teach children about fire safety. We have a program to help youth fire setters that is designed to intervene at an early age, attempting to intercede before a serious problem develops. Measuring success as a reactive department was much easier. A building is burning; firefighters extinguish the fire, making it easy to see results. When you are proactive, it is harder to measure results. How many fires were prevented and how many lives were saved by enforcement and education? We’ll never have an exact answer, but I believe we are making a huge difference. 24/7/365. You call; we respond. KENNETH LEE KNIGHT is a battalion chief in the High Point Fire Department. He can be contacted at kenneth.knight@highpointnc.gov.

Broken hearts are real disorders caused by stress
D
ear Dr. Donohue: Last August, I was admitted to the hospital with what the doctors thought was the beginning of a heart attack. The next day I had a heart catheterization and found out I did not have a heart attack. I had something known as takotsubo cardiomyopathy. I am recovering, but I often hear from medical professionals that they’ve never heard of this diagnosis. I feel your readers would be interested in learning about it. In my case, it was probably brought on by my husband’s major heart attack. – R.T.
BLONDIE
B.C.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, or broken heart syndrome, is a true heart condition brought on by emotional or physical stress. The stress can be the unexpected death of a close loved one, or it can be physical stress like major surgery. The triggering event causes the body to release “stress” chemicals that have a deleterious effect on heart muscle. Cardiomyopathy, by definition, is damaged heart muscle without heart artery obstruction or heart valve problems. The stress chemicals weaken the muscle of the heart’s main pumping chamber, the left ventricle. The heart becomes a feeble pump of blood. People with this condi-

tion have signs and symptoms of a heart attack. Their chest pain is like the HEALTH chest pain of a heart Dr. Paul attack. Donohue Shortness ■■■ of breath results from the lack of oxygen and circulating blood. The EKG reveals changes that raise suspicions of a heart attack Heart catheterization, however, discloses normal heart arteries without any blockages as found in a heart attack. The catheterization involves injecting dye into heart arteries to visualize them on X-rays. Treatment involves using the drugs often used for a heart attack – ACE inhibitors, beta blockers and diuretics. The heart recovers and pumps as strongly as it did before the event took place. Broken heart syndrome is an appropriate name for this condition. Dear Dr. Donohue: My doctor tells me I have an anal fissure. What is it? Does it involve an operation? I was told to use stool softeners and apply Nupercainal ointment. Will they help the itch and pain? – G.G. An anal fissure is a
straight-line tear in the lining of the anus. It’s like a paper cut on a finger, but it is longer, deeper and wider. That area is supplied with a vast network of nerves, and is, therefore, very sensitive. An anal fissure is quite painful and may itch. The cause? Most often, having to strain to eliminate rock-hard stools. You’re doing the right things. Stool softeners will keep your movements moist and soft. If the fissure doesn’t heal with your current treatments, you can hurry the process along by taking sitz baths. A tub is filled with warm water to a level that bathes the affected area. You simply sit in the water with your knees bent and the heels of your feet drawn toward your buttocks. Fifteen minutes of sitting, twice a day, speeds healing. Nitroglycerin ointment, the same kind of nitroglycerin used for angina chest pain, increases blood flow to the fissure and hastens healing, too. Only when these measures fail is surgery needed. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Visitors to the Southern Ideal Home Show this weekend can expect to see designer samples for sale.
One person’s junk ... could be your treasure, if you listen to Sue Whitney BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
G
REENSBORO – If your home’s decor has you in a funk, perhaps some junk will give your home spunk. This coming weekend could be your opportunity to find out, when nationally recognized junk expert Sue Whitney – co-author of “Decorating Junkmarket Style” and “Junk Beautiful” – brings her trash-is-a-treasure philosophy to the annual Southern Ideal Home Show as its guest designer. The show, featuring more than 300 building, home improvement, landscaping and interior design companies and experts, will be held Friday through Sunday at the Greensboro Coliseum. “‘Junkmarket Style’ provides the tools for people to build, remodel and decorate stylishly green with ‘junk’ in a tight economy,” Whitney says. “Flea market finds, roadside acquisitions and garage sale goodies help to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind homes at an affordable price.”
SPECIAL | HPE
Sue Whitney, co-author of two books on turning trash into treasure, will be in Greensboro this weekend. During stage presentations throughout the weekend, Whitney – a frequent contributor to NBC’s “Today Show” – will share ideas and demonstrate how she turns other people’s trash into her own treasures. Her unique creations range from lamps, vases and chandeliers to outdoor furniture.
Another highlight at the show will be the “Ideal Dream House,” a fully functioning high-tech house that will be a showplace for the products and services of more than 20 vendors participating in the home show. Following the show, the house will be donated to Victory Junction Gang Camp, the Randleman camp for children with chronic medical conditions or serious illness. Among the house’s highlights are a kitchen with state-of-theart stainless-steel appliances and porcelain flooring; a shower constructed of marble that requires no grout cleaning; a custom-designed vanity with a flat-screen television hidden behind the mirror; high-tech security and fire prevention systems; a sound system designed to be compatible with mp3/iPod players and indoor/outdoor speakers; and a home theater. Victory Junction will host an exhibit next to the “Ideal Dream House” and show a video about the camp. Other show highlights will include:
• Top chefs from local restaurants, giving cooking demonstrations on the cooking stage. • Designer rooms, created to inspire, by the Association of Interior Design Professionals. • Local artists showcasing their original works. • Kitchen and bath displays of the latest energy-saving appliances, as well as cabinetry, fixtures, countertops and tile. • The Interiors Showplace, featuring home decor, furniture, accessories, and window and floor treatments. This area will also include a popular designer sample sale. • The Outdoor Living Marketplace, featuring the latest in outdoor design, including pools, spas, lighting, and lawn and garden equipment. • Building and home improvement displays.

Cy the Cynic favors the idea of teamwork: He says it means you never have to take the entire blame. Somebody was to blame for the result in today’s deal. Read on and decide who it was. Against four spades, West led the king of clubs. East played the deuce, but West continued with the ace: jack, five, eight. West then led a diamond, and South won with the ace and cashed the ace of trumps. He took the K-Q of diamonds to pitch his heart loser and led the king and jack of trumps. West won, but South ruffed the diamond return, drew West’s last trump and claimed. Whom do you blame?
SIDE SUIT East’s deuce of clubs expressed no great liking for clubs but was noncommittal: West could defend as he wished. But on the ace of clubs, East must help West by playing the ten as a suit-preference signal: his highest club to show strength in hearts, the high-ranking side suit. If West leads a heart at Trick Three, the defenders get all their tricks. This week: more defensive signals.
DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 4 3 H K Q 10 6 2 D K Q 9 C Q J 6. You open one heart, your partner responds one spade, you bid 1NT and he jumps to three spades. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: Partner’s jump in his own suit is invitational to game, not forcing. If he had the values for game and a stout spade suit, he’d have bid four spades himself. Since your hand was barely worth opening, and you lack good spade support and prime values, pass. South dealer Both sides vulnerable
‘Alice’ still reigns at box office LOS ANGELES (AP) – Alice remains the queen of the box office. Johnny Depp and Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” took in $34.5 million to remain the No. 1 movie for a third-straight weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. The Disney release raised its domestic haul to $265.8 million and its worldwide total to $565.8 million after just three
weekends in theaters, a huge result for a film playing in the typically slow month of March. “Alice in Wonderland” easily beat a rush of new movies led by 20th Century Fox’s family film “Diary of a Wimpy Kid,” which opened at No. 2 with $21.8 million. Debuting at No. 3 was Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler’s action comedy “The Bounty Hunter.”

Your numbers are 5, 9, 18, 23, 27, 34, 44 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Interact as much as you can with friends, peers and neighbors and you will accomplish some of your goals for change, reform and implementing new activities. Love is on the rise and will take you on an emotional but worthwhile detour. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take care of business and do something nice to ensure that an old relationship you may have taken for granted is solid, secure and growing. Consider how you can cut back at home and make an effort to bank more. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Focus on friendships, sharing information and traveling about looking for items you need to further a project. Networking with people who have something to offer in return will make your job that much easier. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you are too sensitive, you will end up in an argument that can make you look bad. It’s what you accomplish that will count. Don’t let a personal matter cause you to overlook something that needs your attention. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A sudden turn of events will give you the boost you’ve been waiting for. Good connections and informative discussions will provide you with an edge. Love is in the stars. ★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Taking something you do well and giving it a unique appeal will lead to profits. Uncertainty will be the enemy. Your help will be well received and will, in turn, bring you the support you need to follow your own goals. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A change regarding your position or job may cause some uncertainty at first but, showing what you have to offer will help verify your talents. A problem at home won’t go away without discussion and action. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take any opportunity you get to make changes to your home and routine.

Love is on the rise and can lead to an entertaining evening if you aren’t too pushy. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Slow down and you will avoid making a costly mistake. A problem with someone you are close to will leave you wondering what to do or say next. You’ll get caught in the crossfire if you take sides or meddle. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s time to shake things up. If you look at your past, it will be easy to see what needs to be done. A new chance at love is apparent if you let your charm lead the way. You can achieve greater security and stability in your life with a little effort. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Avoid getting involved in a heated and very emotional discussion that will lead to personal indecisiveness. Consider the cost involved. You can gain some clout by using reverse psychology and your Pisces charm. ★★ ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

Duke enjoys low-Cal sweet
AP
Duke’s Brian Zoubek (below) and Nolan Smith (2) battle California’s Jerome Randle for a loose ball during the first half of their second-round NCAA Tournament game in Jacksonville, Fla., on Sunday. Smith led the Blue Devils with 20 points, while Zoubek finished with 14 points and 13 rebounds as Duke grabbed a 68-53 victory to advance to the Sweet 16.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) – Duke relied on an old, trusted ally to reach the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament. Again. Defense has always been the foundation of Mike Krzyzewski’s team, and the top-seeded Blue Devils sent their coach of three decades into a regional semifinal for the 19th time with a stellar performance in a 68-53 victory over California on Sunday. After winning both the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season and tournament titles, they are playing the type of suffocating defense that could put Krzyzewski back in the Final Four for an 11th time. The Blue Devils last reached the national semifinals in 2004, not that their coach feels as though they’ve let him down lately. “You know, I hate when somebody compares those teams of the last couple years with our national championship teams, and they say they underachieved,” Krzyzewski said. “Are you kidding me? They won 30, 29 games. But they were limited teams, and they couldn’t play the defense that this team can play because we have big guys.” Exploiting a huge advantage in size and depth in the frontcourt, the Blue Devils opened a doubledigit lead in the first half and Cal never seriously threatened to get back into the game. Brian Zoubek, Duke’s 7-foot-1 center, had 14 points and 13 rebounds while teaming with Lance Thomas and reserves Miles and Mason Plumlee to dominate a short-handed Cal frontline featuring 6-foot-8 Duke transfer Jamal Boykin – and little else. Nolan Smith led the Blue Devils (31-5) with 20 points and spearheaded Duke’s trademark man-toman defense that made it difficult for Cal’s highscoring trio of Jerome Randle, Patrick Christopher and Theo Robertson to get uncontested shots. Hounded by relentless “D,” Randle – the Pac-10 player of the year – was limited to 12 points on 5for-12 shooting.

Jimmie Johnson (right) is congratulated by crew chief Chad Knaus after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tenn., on Sunday. Knaus said. “I felt even with a number of guys changing two tires we’d come out with a good stop. We were confident we’d go toward the front and at least get a solid top five.” Johnson said the victory was special because he had struggled at BMS for most of his career. “It’s a downer to come through the gate and know a track is going to kick your butt,” Johnson said.
“We finally started getting the hang of this place last year.” Stewart finished second with Kurt Busch a disappointing third. Busch said his team’s call was to change four tires all the way, denying a report on Fox’s telecast of the race that crew chief Steve Addington wanted to change two tires and Busch overruled him. “We were solid all day,” Busch said. “We just got beat on the luck of how we lined up on the restarts, which is what these double-file restarts are all about. I’d rather lose to any other car except the 48.” Busch wanted to create an opening by muscling Edwards out of the way. “I was hoping (Edwards) would have gotten a better restart,” Busch said. “I was planning to go underneath him in turn two, but I wound up on the outside of him going into turn one. I planned to go to the inside and push him up the track and that would have bottled up the outside lane. But that didn’t work out.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

othing surprises anymore when it comes to Jimmie Johnson being able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat when the opportunity arises. Being arguably the best driver of his generation has something to do with it. Having Chad Knaus, the crew chief Junior Johnson calls the best mechanic currently in the business, doesn’t hurt. It’s hard to argue against the younger Johnson’s status as one of the sport’s all-time greats. He bagged win No. 50 on Sunday, tying the older Johnson and Ned Jarrett, getting to that plateau in 296 starts, fourth quickest in the history of the sport. The others who needed fewer races to do that – his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff

front for good a lap later on the way to his 50th victory that tied Junior Johnson and Ned Jarrett for 10th on the all-time list. “We worked so hard for this,” Johnson said. “Those four tires were everything and being on the outside helped.” Crew chief Chad Knaus confirmed there was no indecision on how many tires to change. “It was a pretty easy decision,”

Johnson celebrates Bristol breakthrough BRISTOL, Tenn. – Overjoyed at filling in one of the blanks on his resume by conquering Bristol Motor Speedway, Jimmie Johnson did a burnout at points all around the track and then up the ramp into victory lane. Kurt Busch was left to swallow the dejection of dominating the Food City 500 for 278 laps before a late turn of events slipped his shot at winning into Johnson’s hands. Busch was in front and about a second ahead of Johnson when the transformation began with NASCAR waving the caution flag with 17 laps to go for removal of debris in turn four. Busch and Johnson opted for four-tire changes and lined up fifth and sixth for the restart with 10 laps to go after Greg Biffle, Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart moved into spots 1-4 by opting for quicker two-tire stops. When the green flag waved, Edwards was slow to get going in the inside lane and stymied Busch. Johnson took advantage of an open outside lane to shoot into third in less than a lap. Stewart managed to get around Biffle for the lead with eight laps to go before Johnson powered in

Gordon (232), Darrell Waltrip (278) and David Pearson (293). He also fittingly won the last race in which wings instead of spoilers will provide downforce on the rear decks of cars. It’s fitting because Johnson was first in victories in the wing era with 22 in 93 races. With the triumph on Sunday, he’s won at all but five tracks on the circuit – Watkins Glen, Sonoma, Chicago, Michigan and Homestead. Eyeing a fifth straight Cup championship, Johnson has won three of the first five races. Critics could say luck was involved in two. He trailed at California before the timing of his pit stop put him in the lead late. On Sunday, Kurt Busch appeared to have the fastest car, but Johnson benefitted with the way a
restart shook out with 10 laps to go. It’s hard to say if another driver could have done the same, but Johnson was able to take advantage by pushing his car when it counted the most. Johnson is winning so much that the other drivers and their fans are becoming tired of his success. He doesn’t mind. “When I watched the sport from afar before I was in it, people would say anyone other than the 3 or anyone other than the 24,” Johnson said. “I’m awfully proud to be in the category where they say, ‘anybody but the 48.’ I think it’s awesome.” Nothing indicates that we won’t get to enjoy that feeling anytime soon.

Wladimir Klitschko knocked out Eddie Chambers in the 12th and final round to retain his WBO and IBF heavyweight belts late Saturday night. The taller, heavier Klitschko dominated the fight and ended it with a left hook 5 seconds before the final bell. The American went down heavily and needed a couple of minutes to recover. The referee never bothered to count. The 33-yearold Ukrainian improved to 53-3 and scored his 48th KO. Chambers lost for the second time in 37 fights. Klitschko caught Chambers with a big right that nearly floored him late in the second round. Chambers staggered but survived the round by clinging onto Klitschko. Chambers, known as “Fast Eddie,” gave away 5 inches in height and 35 pounds in weight to the champion and his game plan was to get in close and try to connect inside.

The Wake Forest teams sits dejectedly on the bench near the end of the Demon Deacons’ game against Kentucky in the second round of the NCAA Tournament late Saturday night in New Orleans. The top-seeded Wildcats crushed the ninth-seeded Deacons 90-60.
Wildcats whip Wake, wow Judd NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Ashley Judd grabbed a copy of the Kentucky-Wake Forest boxscore and stared at the final numbers, shaking her head in wonder. “It was flashbacks to ’96 – a team that was so good we actually got mad if the other team touched the ball,” said Judd, one of Kentucky’s most famous fans. “That was a really spectacular win.” It’s starting to look like the good old days for Kentucky’s proud basketball program. John Calipari’s top-seeded Wildcats are young and inexperienced, but no longer unproven in the NCAA tournament, during which their average margin of victory now stands at 29.5 points. Darius Miller scored a careerhigh 20 points and Kentucky made easy work of No. 9 Wake Forest during a 90-60 rout in their second-round meeting late Saturday night.
Judd
“They’re having fun out there, which is what we want,” Calipari said. “As long as they keep having fun, playing harder than that other team – just enjoy playing – we’ll
be fine.” Miller scored 16 points in the first half to help the Wildcats (34-2) build an early double-digit lead that ballooned to 31 in the second half. Kentucky advanced to the East Regional semifinals in Syracuse, N.Y., where it will play 12th-seeded Cornell. Sitting two rows behind the Kentucky bench, Judd was jubilant, happily posing for a photo with four students who had painted their chests white and blue, spelling out “CATS” when they stood side-by-side. And the actress’ reference to the 1996
national championship team seemed appropriate. That was the season Tony Delk set a school record for 3-pointers in an NCAA tournament game with seven – a record broken Thursday when Eric Bledsoe hit eight. The last time Kentucky had played Wake Forest also was in 1996, during the NCAAs. The Wildcats won that game by 20. Meanwhile, Kentucky fans seemed to delight in the announcement that Kansas, the top seed in the Midwest Regional, had been upset by Northern Iowa, taking one of the top contenders out of the picture. “I thought we had a great chance before Kansas lost,” Judd said. Kentucky’s performance against Wake was balanced. No player had a stunning statistical line but several had good ones. DeMarcus Cousins, turning in a dunk-filled performance in the
paint, had 19 points on 9-of-10 shooting, while John Wall scored 14 and Bledsoe 13. Al-Farouq Aminu had 16 points for Wake Forest (20-11), which was down by 16 at halftime and never mounted a credible comeback attempt during the final 20 minutes. C.J. Harris added 11 points for the Demon Deacons. “I’ve been in the ACC 10 years,” Wake Forest coach Dino Gaudio said. “That’s as good a basketball team as we played against in the 10 years I’ve been here.” In a suite across from the Wake Forest bench, former Deacon standout and current New Orleans Hornets All-Star Chris Paul sat, subdued, with family and friends. Longtime Wake Forest fans had seen this all before. These teams had met four previous times, and Kentucky had won each time by 20 or more, the last two in the NCAA tournament.
Big Red marches into Sweet 16 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Spartans blew a 16-point lead in the second half. Greivis Vasquez put fourth-seeded Maryland (24-9) ahead 83-82 with 6 seconds left, but Michigan State pushed the ball up the floor and Lucious, filling in for Lucas, drained a 3 from the top of the key, setting off a wild celebration by the Spartans. No. 5 seed Michigan State (26-8) advanced to play ninth-seeded Northern Iowa on Friday in the Midwest Regional semifinals in St. Louis. Lucas, a two-time all-Big Ten selection, got hurt with 2:28 remaining in the first half and did not return. Spartans coach Tom Izzo said the junior likely has a torn Achilles’ tendon, which would make it almost impossible for him to play in the round of 16 – and probably would sideline him for the rest of the tournament.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Louis Dale scored 26 points and Ryan Wittman had 24, helping 12th-seeded Cornell dominate No. 4 seed Wisconsin 87-69 on Sunday to reach the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament for the first time. The Big Red entered the tourney with no victories in four previous appearances and upset fifth-seeded Temple in the opening round. They are the first Ivy League team to advance to the round of 16 since Penn in 1979. Next up, top-seeded Kentucky in the East Regional semifinals. Cornell (29-4) shot 59 percent from the field to build a 43-31 halftime lead. Wisconsin (24-9) never made a serious run, falling behind by 20 points midway through the second half.

Ashton Gibbs scored 19 points and Brad Wanamaker had 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Panthers (25-9), who nearly rallied with two 3-pointers by Gilbert Brown in the final 28 seconds. Gibbs missed a potential game-tying 3pointer with less than a second left. Pittsburgh had one last chance to inbound the ball with 0.4 seconds left, but Wanamaker left the shot short.
SOUTH REGIONAL (4) PURDUE 63, (5) TEXAS A&M 61 (OT) SPOKANE, Wash. – Chris Kramer’s drive past one defender and layup over another 6 inches taller than him with 4.2 seconds remaining in overtime sent fourth-seeded Purdue into the regional semifinals with a bruising victory over No. 5 Texas A&M. B.J. Holmes got a final, frantic chance to win the game for Texas A&M with a rushed 3-point try from in front of his bench at the buzzer, but it hit short on the rim to ensure a sixth regional appearance in 12 NCAA tournaments dating to 1994 for Purdue (29-5). Kramer, Purdue’s leader with Robbie Hummel out with a knee injury, led the Boilermakers with 17 points and seven rebounds. Bryan Davis led the Aggies (24-10) with 17 points and 15 rebounds. The 6-foot-9 senior was the man who leaped but could not block Kramer’s winning shot.
Wolfpack looks to build for 2011 season RALEIGH (AP) – N.C. State went from midseason struggles to finishing strong and returning to the postseason for the first time in three years. That should give coach Sidney Lowe some needed momentum heading into his fifth season. The Wolfpack (20-16) won three of four to close the regular season, then
made a surprise run to the ACC tournament semifinals. That sent State on to the NIT – where it reached the second round before falling at UAB – for the first time since Lowe’s first season with the program he led to a national title as a player in 1983. Lowe was already feeling optimistic about next season before
Saturday’s UAB loss. Second-team all-ACC performer Tracy Smith will lead an experienced group of returnees that includes starters Javi Gonzalez and Scott Wood, and key reserves Richard Howell and C.J. Williams. Meanwhile, Lowe has a pair of touted recruits in Lorenzo Brown and Ryan Harrow.
NORFOLK, Va. – Tina Charles scored 22 points and Maya Moore added 21 to help No. 1 Connecticut beat Southern University 95-39 in the first round of the women’s NCAA tournament Sunday. Charles made her first nine shots for the Huskies (34-0), who extended their record winning streak to 73 games. UConn has won all of them by double digits.
(2) OHIO STATE 93, (15) ST. FRANCIS, PA. 59 PITTSBURGH – Jantel Lavender dominated inside for Ohio State with 23 points and 16 rebounds against smaller Saint Francis, Pa. and the Buckeyes opened up a 27-point lead before halftime during a rout. The Buckeyes (31-4) reeled off runs of 110, 19-2 and 13-3 before halftime, taking control from the start.
Gonzaga outlasts UNC women SEATTLE (AP) – Tiffanie Shives’ baseline jumper finally snapped Gonzaga’s scoring drought. Her four 3-pointers that followed broke North Carolina. “We have so many different weapons and you don’t know when you’re going to get called on,” Shives said. “Everybody was kind of playing their role. It finally got time for me to knock down some shots.” Scoreless for 31 minutes, Shives scored 14 of her 16 points in a crucial 5-minute stretch of the second half and the seventh-seeded Bulldogs held off No. 10 seed North Carolina for a wild 82-76 win on Saturday night in the first-round of the NCAA women’s tournament. The Bulldogs’ reward for winning this track meet and earning their second tournament win in school history is No. 2 seed Texas A&M tonight in the second round of the Sacramento region. Trailing 58-56, Shives hit from the baseline in front of the Gonzaga bench with 8:59 left. But that was just the start for the senior. She followed with four consecutive 3-pointers as Gonzaga (28-4) surged into the lead for good and extended its win streak to 19 games. Shives came in averaging just 8.1 points, but was a 40 percent 3pointer shooter during the season. Katelan Redmon led Gonzaga with 18 points off the bench. Chay Shegog led North Carolina (19-12) with 19 points and Laura Broomfield added 16 points and 14 rebounds.

Marcos Ambrose (47) and Juan Pablo Montoya (42) crash during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tenn., on Sunday.
Addington shows his stuff at Bristol J udging by Sunday’s race, Steve Addington was a big factor in Kyle Busch being able to sweep both Bristol Motor Speedway events last year. Addington is now with Kyle’s older brother Busch, who led a race-best 278 laps before the developments surrounding a late caution cost him a second straight victory as he finished third. Kyle Busch struggled all day and needed a late surge to finish ninth. Kurt Busch said past experiences are the reason he and Addington have done well so far. “We’ve had a solid program at Penske Racing and he had a solid program over at the 18,� Kurt Busch said. “We’ve found two different ways to skin the same cat, the COT. It’s a matter of finding the right balance week in and week out, and we’ve had two good weeks.�
BIG CRASH Of the incidents that caused the 10 caution periods, only one was a huge wreck. That came on lap 342 in a sequence that started with Greg Biffle shoving Mark Martin into the wall coming off Turn Two. Once they got to turn three, Martin couldn’t turn and slid into Jeff Gordon, setting off a tangle of about a dozen cars. Among them was Thomasville native Brian Vickers, who stayed on the lead lap and finished 15th. Martin had one of the better cars

before the wreck. “I owe Mark Martin an apology,� Biffle said. “It sounds stupid because everyone makes excuses, but I was having trouble with my radio. I couldn’t hear my spotter so I didn’t know (Martin) was on the outside of me, and I ran him into the fence.�
of the top 35 and now must qualify on speed Friday at Martinsville, the first race of the year where this year’s points are used to determine those guaranteed starting positions. Leading the list of those who must qualify is Robby Gordon, who left Bristol nine points shy of 35th. Also falling from the guaranteed starters into limbo land is the No. 26 team that Bill Jenkins acquired from Jack Roush.
INJURY UPDATE TOUCH TO STOMACH Jamie McMurray felt nauseous for most of the race before he became one the biggest losers because of the caution at the end. McMurray was running third before the yellow waved, but came out of the pits in 11th. He finished eighth. “I don’t know if it was fumes or something in my drink bottle but 60 laps into the race, I felt like I was going to throw up,� McMurray said. “And it seemed to get worse every time there was a caution.�
TO THE POINT Kevin Harvick kept the lead in driver standings despite struggling to an 11th-place finish on a track where he usually excels. Harvick is a point ahead of Matt Kenseth with race winner Jimmie Johnson now in third and 14 out of first. On the other end of spectrum are the new set drivers who fell short
Ricky Pearson and Charlie Glotzbach, both injured when Glotzbach rammed Pearson in the driver’s side during Saturday’s charity late model race for retired drivers, remained in Bristol Medical Center on Sunday. Pearson was briefly knocked unconscious and suffered a compound fracture of the left ankle, a broken pelvis and fractured right hand.

Sabres slash Hurricanes, 5-3 RALEIGH (AP) – Jochen Hecht scored two goals, and Ryan Miller made 27 saves in the Buffalo Sabres’ 5-3 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday night. Tim Connolly, Toni Lydman and Tim Kennedy also scored for Buffalo. The Sabres won their third
straight to finish 3-1-1 on a fivegame trip. Derek Roy and Thomas Vanek each had two assists. Sergei Samsonov, Brandon Sutter and Eric Staal scored for the Hurricanes, eight points behind Boston in the chase for the final playoff
spot in the Eastern Conference. The Hurricanes beat division leaders Pittsburgh and Washington in their previous two games but struggled against the Northeastleading Sabres, who extinguished most of the drama with a four-goal second period.
Furyk holds on for one-stroke victory THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PALM HARBOR, Fla. – Jim Furyk showed the nerves of a player trying to win for the first time on the PGA Tour. Considering how long it had been since his last victory, it felt that way. Furyk closed with a 2-under 69 on Sunday for a one-shot victory over K.J. Choi in the Transitions Championship, his first victory since the
2007 Canadian Open. He did just enough right on the back nine. With a two-shot lead on the 18th hole of the Copperhead course, Furyk drove into the trees, nearly took out NBC reporter Roger Maltbie with his next shot and needed a good lag from 30 feet to secure a bogey. Furyk finished at 13-under 271 and won for the 14th time in his career, moving to No. 6 in the world. Choi closed with a 4-under 67,
but his runner-up finish should be enough to move him to No. 47 in the world and give him a good chance to get into the Masters.
DAVIES TAKES HASSAN II TROPHY RABAT, Morocco – Wales’ Rhys Davies won the Hassan II Trophy for his first PGA European Tour title, shooting a 7-under 66 for a twostroke victory over South Africa’s Louis Oosthuizen.
Twins, Mauer agree on 8-year, $184M extension MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – AL MVP Joe Mauer has agreed to an eightyear, $184 million contract extension to stay with the Minnesota Twins. The deal announced Sunday covers the 2011-2018 seasons and includes a full no-trade clause. It’s the culmination of a months-long negotiation between the Twins and their hometown star. Mauer has won three AL batting titles and an MVP award. He is con-
sidered one of the best defensive catchers in the game. Last year he hit .365 with 28 home runs and 96 RBIs to help the Twins win the AL Central division. Also, Minnesota closer Joe Nathan will miss the 2010 season because of a right elbow injury that will require surgery. Nathan, who leads the major leagues with 246 saves since 2004, made the decision after playing catch with Twins pitching coach
Rick Anderson for 10 minutes on Sunday. Nathan hopes to have Tommy John surgery within two weeks to repair the torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. He was injured on March 6 during a 20-pitch outing in a spring training game against the Boston Red Sox. Nathan has set his sights on returning at the start of the 2011 season. Nathan went 2-2 with a 2.10 ERA and a career-best 47 saves last season.
WINSTON-SALEM – The High Point University men’s golf team shot 307 in the second and final round of the WSSU Invitational to finish atop the team standings with a 610 on Sunday. Panther sophomore and former Ledford star Curtis Brotherton carded a second-round 73 to win medalist honors with a 36-hole score of 143. “I thought we played well,� head coach JB White said. “Curtis hung in there and picked up the win and Chase improved a lot from yesterday so I am pretty happy about that. I was also very happy that the four guys who went out knowing their scores were going to count got after it and played hard. We were handicapped by not having a fifth scoring player but the team rose to the challenge.� Brotherton’s 73 was the best score by any golfer in the second round. He finished three strokes ahead of Josh Davis of Brevard and seven strokes ahead of fellow Panther and Ledford product Nick Goins,
Gilles’ single lifts Panthers past VMI SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE
HIGH POINT – Robbie Gilles came off the bench with a pinch-hit single in the ninth inning to score Nate Roberts and Kyle Mahoney and lift the High Point University baseball team to a 15-14 win over VMI Sunday at Williard Stadium. The Panthers came back to win in the bottom of the ninth after the Keydets had taken the lead with a five-run rally in the top of the inning. “This was a very tough weekend,� said HPU head coach Craig Cozart. “VMI plays the game the right way, they play hard and they fight in every game. This was a huge win for us and showed our character. It would have been easy to fold after giving up five runs in the top of the ninth but we didn’t and hopefully this win will get us going again.� With High Point up 139 heading to the ninth, closer Mikel Rodenberg took the mound. He gave up a walk and double before hitting Alex Haitsuka to load the bases. Jacob Morley reached on a fielder’s choice but brought home a run to make it a 13-10 game. A single by Sam Roberts plated a run and Cory Spangenberg hit a single through the right side to score two more and tie the game. VMI took the lead on an RBI double by Tanner Biagini.

British Airways crews strike for 2nd day LONDON (AP) – British Airways cabin crews walked off the job for a second day Sunday but the airline insisted the strike was having less impact than expected and said it was able to restore flights that had previously been canceled. The airline – locked in a bitter dispute with workers over a pay freeze and changing working conditions – was forced to cancel or delay hundreds of flights over the weekend as cabin crew launched a three-day strike after negotiations collapsed on Friday. Many travelers en route to the United States who were supposed to have brief stopovers at Heathrow, the airline’s London hub, ended up stranded at the airport and faced long waits to connect with flights home. But BA said it was coping well with the strike due to its extensive contingency plans and the fact that many crew members ignored the strike call. “Our contingency plans are continuing to work well on Sunday morning around the world,” it said in a statement. BA said almost all the cabin crews at Gatwick airport and about half of
Merkel: Greek aid isn’t on summit agenda
AP
Members of the Unite union, supporters of the British Airways strike, wave to passing cars at a picket line at London’s Heathrow airport Sunday. British Airways cabin crews walked off the job for a second day Sunday, upsetting travel plans for scores of customers, but the airline said its contingency plans were working well and more planes were taking off than expected. those at Heathrow reported to duty Saturday, allowing the airline to reinstate more than a dozen previously canceled flights – including those to Miami and Los Angeles, as well
as other short-haul European destinations. The airline said all longhaul aircraft from overseas airports arrived in London as planned Sunday morning and said
there was no evidence of strikes at any overseas airports. In preparation for the strike, BA had retrained some staffers to serve as cabin crew and leased planes and crew
from rival carriers to take up some of the shortfall. Still, about 1,100 out of the airline’s 1,950 flights scheduled to operate during the three-day walkout were expected to be canceled.
Investors learn to accept housing numbers NEW YORK (AP) – The housing market is still in bad shape, but investors don’t seem to mind. While this week brings reports on sales of new and existing homes in February, there are no signs of heightened anxiety in the stock market. That’s a big change from one and two years ago, when these numbers were often horrific enough to send investors running. In recent months, traders have shrugged off some ugly figures. The reason: Steadying home prices are good enough for now. Even tentative stability is welcome news after price drops of more than 50 percent in some markets. The slide in prices pounded consumers
whose home is often their single biggest investment. The number of foreclosures is still going up, but they are happening at a slower pace. That’s allowing the real estate market to absorb the added supply without sending prices spiraling again. Many investors think that housing won’t cause more huge problems for the economy if prices hold. The drop in prices is still hard on people who owe more than their home is worth, of course. But those problems are well-known to investors. “That’s not a new story,” said Ashish Shah, head of credit strategy at Barclays Capital in New York. That’s helping inves-
tors to get past some bad numbers. Last fall, it was easier for investors to be rattled by a housing number. On Oct. 28, the government’s report that new home sales dropped for the first time in five months sent the Dow down 119 points. Housing could still bring new worries. It’s unclear how prices will hold up when the homebuyer tax credit expires on April 30. And the Fed has said it will stop buying mortgage debt this month. Shah predicts that about 2 million homes per year will go on the market in the coming years. “We’re going to go sideways for a while as we digest this overhang of supply,” he said.
BERLIN (AP) – Rebuffing EU officials in Brussels, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Sunday that Greece does not need any financial help and that EU leaders should not make aid an issue at their summit in Brussels this week. The European Commission had urged Germany and other eurozone governments to put up a package of governmentto-government loans to ease Greece’s financial plight and end weeks of financial turmoil and speculation. The chancellor warned against discussions of possible EU bailout plans at the Thursday summit, saying it would only cause turbulence in the markets by raising false expectations. “Aid is not on the agenda on Thursday,” Merkel told Deutschlandfunk radio, adding that Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou had assured her his country would not ask for EU support. “I advise all of us to not cause turbulence on the markets by raising the wrong expectations for the summit on Thursday,” Merkel said. She did not refer specifically to European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso’s comments on Friday saying European aid was necessary because “we cannot prolong any further the current situation.” He spoke of “coordinated bilateral loans” that would not have to be paid out immediately. Even as a standby gesture, Barroso said, the availability of aid from Greece’s partners would show financial markets that EU nations are united to defend their single currency and the stability of the eurozone.
Toyota shareholders sue over fallen stock price MIAMI (AP) – Toyota shareholders incensed over a sudden drop in the Japanese automaker’s stock price are heading to court with lawsuits claiming company executives deliberately misled investors and the public about the depth of accelerator problems in millions of its vehicles. At least three proposed classaction lawsuits filed by Toyota investors say the company gave false initial assurances that the sudden acceleration problem was a simple matter of floor mats trapping gas pedals, helping prop up the stock price.
DILBERT
The shareholder cases are part of an avalanche of potentially costly lawsuits against Toyota over the acceleration issue, including those filed by crash victims and their families and those brought by Toyota owners contending their vehicles are worth far less because of the recalls. The investor lawsuits say Toyota spread misleading information through press releases, conference calls with stock analysts and TV interviews to assure stockholders and the public that the accelerator problem was easily fixed or might be the driver’s fault.
Instead, the lawsuits contend, top Toyota executives have known for nearly a decade that faulty electronic throttle controls caused vehicles to sometimes careen wildly out of control but covered it up to protect the company’s reputation for safety – and its stock price. The company has not issued any recalls involving flaws in the electronic throttles and has repeatedly denied they are the problem. Shares rose from just over $75 on Oct. 5, the day of the floor mat recall, to above $90 on Jan. 21, when Toyota announced an-
other recall – over gas pedals it says can stick in certain conditions. After that, the stock price fell, dropping 16 percent as of early March. Shares have since rebounded somewhat, closing Thursday at $79.34, but some investors say the recovery did not prevent them from losing potentially millions of dollars as the stock was dropping. Since the sticky pedal recall in late January, Toyota’s total market capitalization has fallen 13 percent to $135.87 billion. Toyota declined comment because the cases are pending
in court. The company has repeatedly denied its electronic throttle controls are to blame for sudden acceleration. In the lawsuits, the shareholders are asking a judge to certify a “class” of plaintiffs that would represent all Toyota shareholders in the U.S. who held company stock on specific dates. If Toyota is found liable, damages could easily run into the hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. The shareholder lawsuits are pending in federal court in California, the location of Toyota’s North American headquarters.
Gas prices continue to climb CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) – The average price of regular gasoline in the United States is up 8.6 cents over a two-week period to $2.81. The price shows an increase of 86 cents from a
year ago. That’s according to the national Lundberg Survey of fuel prices released Sunday. Analyst Trilby Lundberg says the average price for a gallon of mid-grade was $2.94. Premium was at $3.05.
Newark, N.J., had the lowest average price among cities surveyed at $2.60 a gallon for regular. Honolulu was highest at $3.38. Diesel was at $2.96, up more than 4 cents from two weeks ago.

Evan Nichols, 2, hangs on to his mom, Melanie, while they observe the Red River on Veterans Memorial Bridge in Moorhead, Minn., Sunday. The Red River crested at just under 37 feet.
Red River hits crest, begins to recede in Fargo FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The crest of the Red River was met Sunday with more shrugs than white knuckles, as flood fears receded and Fargo residents walked their dogs and went to church instead of sandbagging and fleeing to higher ground. City officials said they were relieved the bloated river running along the border of North Dakota and Minnesota didn’t cause major damage leading up to its crest.
Fargo Mayor Dennis Walaker noted while most floods have at least “one day of chaos” that didn’t happen this year. But he cautioned against celebrating too soon. “We need at least another week here before we get it to the level we wanted it to be. There’s still a lot of water down south,” Walaker said. The National Weather Service said the river crested Sunday just under 37 feet, or 19 feet over flood
stage, and was on its way down. The region has been hoping for mostly dry weather to speed the river’s fall by week’s end. The forecast was cooperating, with only a small chance of rain over the next few days. “We’re bobbling downward,” weather service spokesman Greg Gust said. He said the river appeared to be starting a “very slow decline through the remainder of the day.”
2 Baltimore officers shot during traffic stop BALTIMORE (AP) – Two police officers who had pulled over a suspicious vehicle were shot and wounded by the driver, and the suspect was killed when the officers returned fire, Baltimore police said Sunday. Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III said the officers will survive and are expected to undergo surgery at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center.
The names of the officers and the suspect were not immediately released because some family members had not yet been notified. The officers had noticed an older model Chevrolet Caprice moving in tandem with another vehicle and became suspicious, Bealefeld said. One officer was shot in the right They found marijuana in the car cheek, while the other was shot in and were arresting one of two pasthe hand. A third officer also shot sengers, but the driver hesitated to get out. at the suspect.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – More snow was falling Sunday as part of a powerful storm blowing through Oklahoma and the southern Plains on the first weekend of spring. The National Weather Service said there was moderate to heavy snow across northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas, with some places reporting 8 to 12 inches of snow. The snow and rain was expected to end later Sunday. Authorities have attributed at least four deaths in four states to the weather. Police in Arlington, Texas, said ice on an interstate caused an accident Sunday involving five vehicles and two 18-wheelers. One of the 18-wheelers fell on another vehicle, killing one person. The storm came a day after temperatures had reached into the 70s, and forecasters say temperatures should rebound into the 60s as soon as today. The storm is the third major winter storm to hit Oklahoma in the last three months.
