NO DELAYS: Guilford officials say revaluations on track for 2012. 1B

HIGH POINT – For motorist Brian Baker, the recent rise in gas prices is more than noticeable. “It’s crazy,” said Baker, of High Point, who was buying gas at the Wilco Hess station on N. Main Street on Monday. “If you add up all the gas you buy, it’s probably more than your rent.” According to AAA, the price of gas has jumped 18 cents in the last month on a national level and 15 cents in the Triad, causing motorists to pay the highest prices for gas since 2008. The average price per gallon in the Triad on Monday was $2.73, up 1 cent from last week. Last year, prices sat at $1.88 per gallon in the Triad.

especially in the current state of the economy. “It’s like the price of gas is going up, but people aren’t making any more money,” he said. “It’s hard to spend $100 on a trip when you have a family to

feed and rent to pay. (The prices) are already affecting me now.” Willie Walters of Winston-Salem said his family had gone out of its way to create a vacation fund to battle rising gas prices. “You really have to plan to take a trip these days,” said Walters, who also pumped gas Monday at the Wilco Hess station. “It’s getting so expensive. My family has set aside extra money for our beach trip this year.” As a motorist, he said he didn’t understand why the prices fluctuated so much. “I guess it’s because spring is here,” he said. “It’s just sad because these days, you have people saying, ‘Do I want to buy gas or buy clothes?’ ”

Some Democrats want Davis to reconsider bid BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Some Democrats say they would like Guilford County Commissioner Bruce Davis of High Point to reconsider his petition campaign for the 28th State Senate District, saying Davis could tip the district to a Republican by splitting the Democratic vote. Davis, a Democratic commissioner from District 1, announced earlier this month he would seek to get his name on the Nov. 2 general election ballot as an unaffiliated candidate. A frustrated Davis held a press conference in High Point March 5 to accuse

RACE

–

The 28th State Senate District includes parts of High Point and Greensboro and stretches through southern Guilford County. The district has 57 percent registered Democratic voters, 28 percent registered Republicans and 15 percent unaffiliated. Retiring Sen. Katie Dorsett, D-Guilford, of Greensboro, has won the seat comfortably since the district was acknowledged he had the opportunity during the three-week filing period to file for Senate, but instead sought re-election as a commissioner. Dorsett, who trounced Davis in the 2008 Democratic 28th State Senate District primary, has denied any collusion to hide her intentions from Davis or anyone else. The chairman of the Guilford County Democratic Party, Tom Coley, said he worries Davis’ can-

created for the 2002 election season. Two Democrats and four Republicans have filed this year. The Democrats are Evelyn Miller of Greensboro and Gladys Robinson of Pleasant Garden. The Republicans are Greensboro City Councilwoman Trudy Wade, John Welch of Greensboro and Robert Brafford Jr. and Jeff Brommer of Jamestown.

didacy could threaten a legislative seat that’s been a safe one for Democrats this past decade and allow a Republican nominee to capture it in the general election. Other Democrats have expressed similar concerns, he said. “It’s going to be Bruce’s decision. But we’re very concerned it could split our vote. If he did not do the independent (campaign), then it’s a safe Democratic seat,” Coley said.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

At his press conference, Davis was asked a question by The High Point Enterprise about becoming a spoiler in the 28th State Senate District. Davis responded that the blame shouldn’t be placed on him if a Republican wins the seat, but on the Greensboro power brokers who colluded with Dorsett on her late withdrawal from the race. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Former attorney pleads guilty to embezzling money BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A former attorney has pleaded guilty to embezzling money that should have gone to a south High Point public housing community. Angela Davina Seabrooks, 40, of Greensboro, was sentenced last week to three years’ probation on one count of embezzlement in connection with the misappropriation of $58,354.40 related to the sale of two homes at Spring Brook Meadows, a low-income housing community that was started with a federal grant the High Point Housing Authority won in 1999. Seabrooks handled closing procedures for two homebuyers at Spring Brook Meadows in 2005. A 2007 housing authority audit found that money from the sales should have been returned to an account

to help in the continued development of the community, but was instead missing. Details about the source of the money Seabrooks and what Seabrooks allegedly did with it remain unclear. Prosecutors and detectives who handled the case couldn’t be reached Monday. After they learned what was in the audit, authority officials filed a complaint against Seabrooks with the N.C. State Bar but didn’t report the matter to police. It wasn’t until High Point City Manager Strib Boynton intervened that a criminal investigation was launched – more than two years after the embezzlement occurred. Pursuant to Seabrooks’ plea agreement with prosecutors, two charges of embezzlement – a Class

H felony – were consolidated for judgment. She was given an eight-to-10-month active sentence, which Superior Court Judge Edwin G. Wilson Jr. of Rockingham County suspended, provided she meets several conditions of a 36-month supervised probation term. Seabrooks had no connection to the authority, and the authority was not implicated in the case. She was disbarred in connection with an unrelated matter in 2005 for misappropriating $125,000 in client funds. She also was convicted of embezzlement in that case. The N.C. State Bar reimbursed the authority for $56,587.95 of the $58,354.40 in 2008, and officials have said the money went to help finance construction of homes at Spring Brook Meadows. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Patty Stringer, school media specialist, said she expected electronic graphic novels to be very popular. “You could even download these to a cell phone,” she said. “You can go to any computer anywhere and with the code get a book.” Across the district, advances in technology have banished primitive chalkboards and bulky projectors of the past. Teachers now use equipment such as smartboards or whiteboards for instruction. Many teachers use a wireless-equipped tablet to move exercises and Web pages to a large screen. Students can take courses online and in some classrooms, video streaming is being used instead of textbooks for daily lessons. Gizmo is an online lesson service offering exercises in several subject areas. Many teachers use it for homework and classroom exercises. Welborn has an Internet cafe, consisting of several Web-ready laptops mounted on a bar, in the cafeteria. School Web sites have become the main information exchange for many students and parents. Bolds carries a personal data assistant and has access to a small “net book” computer familiar to many of her students.

Witnesses: Soldier charged with murders was in their neighborhood MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Witnesses testified at the court-martial of Army Master Sgt. Timothy Hennis that they saw Hennis and his car in a Fayetteville neighborhood where three murders occurred on a day in 1985. Hennis is charged in the murders of Kathryn Eastburn and two of her daughters. If convicted, he could be sentenced to death. A transcript was read

from a since-deceased resident of the neighborhood who said she saw Hennis sitting in a white Chevette across the street from the Eastburn home at about noon. A sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy who lived in the neighborhood testified that he saw an empty white Chevette parked near the entrance of the neighborhood when he was driving home at 11:40 p.m. Hennis had adopted the Eastburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog earlier that week. Prosecutors

say he returned to the home that Thursday and raped Kathryn Eastburn before killing her and two of her three daughters. Hennis has maintained his innocence throughout a civilian trial that saw him convicted and sentenced to death in 1986, then freed after an acquittal at a second trial in 1989 granted on appeal. The military brought Hennis out of retirement in 2006 after DNA evidence unavailable in 1985 linked him to the crimes.

Census has fewer questions; I still get confused May I say a few words, my words! I got my Census 2010 material March 15. In big black letters it says, “Complete and Send Back Today.” So, the first question is, How may people living here on April 1? Please tell me what to do. Send it back now, or wait until April 1 to see who all is living here? I don’t really care. I am thrilled to be filling out a census at my age of 85. I should do as Solomon said to in Proverbs 31:6-7, give beer and wine to poor people and they forget their troubles. I see sister Nancy Pelosi is having trouble draining the swamp. Rep. Charles Rangel is hung in the drainage plug. Are you thrilled with the changes we see as the Chicago mob moves to dismantle the good old USA as we know it?

a manufactured crisis? May 2, 1966, Richard Cloward and Frances Piven, two radical socialists at Columbia University had an article in Nation magazine headlined the “Cloward-Piven Strategy,” which seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government with a deluge of outrageous and impossible demands, thus pushing our country into an economic collapse. Cloward and Piven were inspired by Saul Alinsky. Where did Obama receive his training in community organizing? You got it! Obama spent years working with ACORN, whose purpose was housing, registering as many Democrats as possible and putting as many people on welfare as possible. In the 1990s, lawyer Obama worked with ACORN in its successful efforts to expand the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), which forced banks into making risky subprime loans and for Fannie and Freddie to underwrite them.

DAVIDSON COUNTY

OUR VIEW

upporters of a move to ban felons from holding the office of sheriff in North Carolina might tell you it’s not directed at former Davidson County Sheriff Gerald Hege. Some folks might try to convince you the sun doesn’t rise in the east, too. Don’t believe either of them. As surely as the sun rose this morning in the eastern sky, the effort calling for a state constitutional amendment banning felons from holding a county sheriff’s office is all about Gerald Hege. Elected sheriff three times, Hege resigned in 2004 after pleading guilty to two felony obstruction of justice charges. He’s seeking the Republican nomination for sheriff in a May 4 primary along with Sheriff David Grice, Terry Price and Edgar Shuler. Thomas Evans runs unopposed in the Democratic primary. The bill calling for a constitutional amendment vote – introduced last March by State Sen. Stan Bingham of Denton – wouldn’t prevent Hege from serving if elected this November. However, he wouldn’t be able to run in 2014 if the constitutional amendment were approved by the state’s voters. But Hege aside, this proposed constitutional ban on convicted felons as sheriffs is just a waste of voters’ time. We expect it’s rarely been and rarely would be a significant election issue. And were it ever to be one, the local voters certainly could take care of it as they see fit. Additionally, convicted felons who have served their penalties can hold other kinds of elected posts. Candidate forums are great ways for the public to make up their minds about any candidate, felon or not. But Hege is planning not to attend a forum in Lexington tonight for sheriff’s candidates. We understand Hege’s concern that such a forum could be an “anti-Hege meeting.” But if he wants to be sheriff again, he’s got to face the questions head-on. Hege is wrong not to attend tonight’s forum.

Counties learn how to pitch a tax-cutting tax hike

n several North Carolina counties where there will be a sales-tax hike on the ballot in 2010, advocates have adopted the strategy with the best record of success: sell a tax hike by promising a tax cut. If that sounds like a contradiction, then I chose the right words. It is a contradiction. Back in 2007, the General Assembly responded to years of lobbying for “revenue options” by authorizing counties to raise their sales tax by a quarter-cent or their real estate transfer taxes by four-tenths of a percent – but only if voters said yes in a referendum. Overwhelmingly, North Carolina voters have said no to these tax hikes. On 23 occasions, local politicians and activists have tried to impose the transfer tax. All failed. In 44 of 56 tries at the sales-tax hike, voters have rejected higher taxes, as well. Still, in 12 cases voters said yes. Given the economic situation and a public turn towards fiscal conservatism, how can these pro-tax votes be explained? There is a common denominator in the advocates’ strategy: they have learned to sound fiscally conservative while making government bigger. The key to understanding the strategy is to recognize why the most unpopular taxes are those levied on income and property. These taxes make the most-reliable voters in the electorate furious for two reasons: 1) they get an annual bill showing how much income and property tax they pay, and 2) they know that some of their fellow residents do not. Politicians are well aware of these sentiments. That’s why they spent so many years lobbying the General Assembly so strenuously for the authority to raise sales taxes. Still, after lawmakers felt compelled to include a

referendum requirement, county after county voted down not just the real-estate transfer tax – which really was just a dumb idea, politically and otherwise – but the sales tax hike, too. Pro-tax county commissioners needed to find a more explicit OPINION message that would convince voters. Here’s what they came John up with: Hood • Promise voters that if they ■■■ support a sales-tax hike, the county will cut property taxes by a significant amount. • Tell voters that the projects to be funded by the tax – schools, jails, or infrastructure – must be built, regardless of the fate of the referendum, either because of unstoppable growth or state mandates. That way, voters will see their choice as one between sales taxes and property taxes, not a choice between higher taxes and lower taxes. As North Carolina counties began to adopt this messaging strategy, they increased their odds of passing sales-tax referenda. So far this year, two out of three county votes have resulted in sales-tax hikes. I still think most future referenda will fail. Tax-hike opponents correctly point out that whatever propertytax relief counties offer as a partial offset to a sales-tax hike will be temporary. Politicians almost always spend as much as they can, not as much as they promise. It doesn’t take much to convince voters to be skeptical of the promises of politicians.

Bush and Bill Clinton toured Haitiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rubble-filled capital Monday to raise aid and investment for a country still reeling from a devastating Jan. 12 earthquake. It is the first joint visit to the impoverished Caribbean nation for the two former leaders, who were tasked by President Barack Obama with leading the U.S. fundraising effort. After meeting with President

Rene Preval on the grounds of the collapsed national palace, they walked through the tarps-and-tent city on the adjacent Champ de Mars, the national mall filled with 60,000 homeless quake survivors living in squalor. Both men, surrounded by Secret Service agents, Haitian police and U.N. peacekeepers, waded into the giant encampment to shake hands with earthquake survivors. Clinton said they hoped to get all the aid agencies working together

to make the most of the huge global outpouring of support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to get the whole universe of people who want to help Haiti operating on the same page,â&#x20AC;? he said. Bush told reporters their purpose was to see the devastation first hand and â&#x20AC;&#x153;remind the American people there is still suffering and work to be done here.â&#x20AC;? He said they also wanted to encourage entrepreneurship in Haiti to create jobs and grow the economy.

KABUL (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Afghan President Hamid Karzai held an unprecedented meeting Monday with representatives of a major Taliban-linked militant group, boosting his outreach to insurgency leaders to end the eightyear war. Less certain is whether the talks with the weakened Hizb-i-Islami faction represent a gamechanger in the conflict, given its demand to rewrite the Afghan constitution and force a quick exit of foreign forces. It is the first time that high-ranking representatives of the group, led by warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, have traveled to

Kabul to discuss peace. The reconciliation offer from Hekmatyar contrasts Karzai with his reputation as a ruthless extremist.

These two wear masks as they visit Tiananmen gate.

Karzai studies peace offer from militants Hekmatyarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s power has waned over the years and he commands far fewer fighters than the Taliban. Nevertheless, Hizb-i-Islami is very active in at least four provinces of eastern Afghanistan and parts of the north.

ACORN disbands amid money woes, scandal CHICAGO – The once mighty community activist group ACORN announced Monday it is folding amid falling revenues – six months after video footage emerged showing some of its workers giving tax tips to conservative activists posing as a pimp and prostitute.

Health care gains start soon, bigger ones later WASHINGTON (AP) – The first changes under the new health care law will be easy to see and not long in coming: There’ll be $250 rebate checks for seniors in the Medicare drug coverage gap, and young adults moving from college to work will be able to stay on their parents’ plans until they turn 26. But the peace of mind the president promised – the antidote for health care insecurity, whether

you favored or opposed his overhaul – is still a ways beyond the horizon, starting only in 2014. Insurers then will be barred from turning down people with medical problems, and the government will provide tax credits to help millions of working families buy coverage they can’t afford now. Health care overhaul will bring real change, but it’s going to happen slowly. President Barack Obama plans

to sign the main legislation today in the White House East Room after a bitterly divided House approved it Sunday night. That will cap a turbulent, yearlong quest by the president and congressional Democrats to remake the nation’s health care system, fully one-sixth of the U.S. economy. Obama’s signature will start the Senate considering a package of changes the House also has approved.

HARRISON, N.Y. – Police who investigated the crash of a Toyota Prius in the New York suburbs said Monday they agreed with federal regulators that driver error caused it. The investigation found that the driver, housekeeper Gloria Rosel, never braked before she crashed into a wall, Harrison police Capt. Anthony Marraccini said. She was not seriously injured. “The vehicle accelerator in this case was depressed 100 percent at the time of collision, and there was absolutely no indication of any brake application,” Marraccini said. “She believes she depressed the brake, but that just simply isn’t the case here,” he said. There was no intent to deceive, Marraccini said, and Rosel won’t be charged. The finding concurs with that of U.S. safety regulators, who said last week that the car’s computers showed the throttle was open and the brakes not applied.

County: Revaluation set for ‘12 BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Guilford County officials have abandoned any ideas of postponing the 2012 county property revaluation. After Tax Director Ben Chavis told the Guilford County Board of Commissioners that it is probably too late in the county’s eight-year revaluation cycle to make any changes, commissioners requested another study on the advantages of shortening the cycle. Across the state, 59 counties, including Wake and Mecklenburg, use the eight-year cycle. During 2012, 15 counties across the state will revalue the property tax base. The General Assembly would have to approve a schedule change. “We are locked into this cycle

VALUES

–

Taxes: Annual property taxes are calculated by multiplying assessed value in 2004 by the current tax rate per $100 value. At 73.74 cents per $100 of assessed valuation, Guilford County has the highest property tax rate in the Triad. Cycle: Under state law, county governments are required to reassess properties at least once every eight years to ensure taxes are collected based on up-to-date market values. But shorter cycles are allowed.

for now,” Chavis said. “You could go to a shorter cycle.” Since 2004, some property values skyrocketed, then plunged in the last two years, Chavis said, but overall, property appreciation since 2004 has been greater that the latest declines. “I don’t think the 2012 values will be less than those in 2004,” said Board Chairman Skip Alston, a Greensboro real estate broker

and developer. “The values will be higher for 99.5 percent of the properties.” County Commissioner Steve Arnold of High Point, a real estate developer, wanted the review because of the upheaval in real estate and credit markets the last two years. “If there is a question that the tax base won’t go up, we should go to the General Assembly to get

legislators to consider, based on market conditions, whether we should postpone to perhaps 2014 and then start a shorter cycle after that,” Arnold said. In the last few years, only Robeson County won permission from the General Assembly to postpone a revaluation by one year, Chavis said. The county had computer software problems. Because of increased values following revaluation, county officials often settle on a reduced tax rate, but falling values create a gap. “If there is a significant drop in values from 2011 to 2012, we’ll have to notify people,” Arnold said. “That is not happy news. If the tax base is reduced for a new market rate, the new tax rate will be larger, even at revenue neutral, and we’d get blasted for a tax rate we never levied.” dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

HIGH POINT – High Point Police Chief Jim Fealy said Monday he was surprised by prosecutors’ dismissal of charges against a former college student who had been accused of making fraudulent allegations about being robbed and shot two years ago. Prosecutors on Friday dismissed felony obstruction of justice and misdemeanor making a false police report charges against Adam Tabor Utley, who claimed a juvenile shot him in the upper left leg during a robbery attempt in the 700 block of Fifth Street on March 25, 2008, when he was a senior at High Point University. Fealy said he was unaware of the dismissal until contacted by The High Point Enterprise Monday. “I’m a little bit surprised I haven’t been contacted by the (district attorney),” he said. “If there is going to be a case of some significance dismissed, we are usually told why.” The reason for the dismissal is unclear. Court documents stated prosecutors entered the dismissal at the direction of Guilford County District Attorney Doug Henderson, who could not be reached for comment Monday. Utley, 26, claimed a juvenile approached him from behind and demanded his money while he was walking to a friend’s home near the HPU campus. He claimed he was shot as he was attempting to hand over his wallet. He was not seriously injured. No suspected were ever arrested, but Utley was charged in April 2008 after police said forensics and other evidence showed his wound could not have been inflicted the way he claimed. Utley couldn’t be reached for comment. “This man made an outcry that was a lie – that he had been robbed and shot by a black man, which we believe to be bogus,” Fealy said. “The repercussions from that are multi-faceted. You have the potential for racial issues, which we don’t need. We certainly don’t need lies being told and urban legends created.” The chief stood by the evidence his department gathered against Utley in the case. “We invested a great deal of police time in that case,” he said. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

State offers Energy Star incentives BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – If you think your refrigerator from the 1980s is out of date and out of style, the federal government agrees with you. North Carolina received $8.8 million for its Energy Star Appliance Replacement and Rebate Program, scheduled for April 22-25 on Earth Day weekend. The program will offer an instant 15 percent rebate to consumers who buy new Energy Star refrigerators, dishwashers, freezers and clothes washing machines at participating stores. Funding set aside from the Federal Recovery Act was allocated to each state to organize its own Energy Star program, said Seth Effron, communications director for the N.C. Energy Office. “In North Carolina, we thought particularly doing this on Earth Day weekend would heighten people’s awareness in the program,” Effron said. “Replacing an older appliance can be very significant in energy savings.” The program has been referred to as a Cash for Clunkers for your

said. “Usually when people buy a new appliance, they have it delivered to their home and have the old one taken away by the same people. In that way, we will adhere to the replacement aspect and make it simple for the consumer.” The state also holds an annual Energy Star tax-free weekend where sales tax is suspended on Energy Star appliances. Daniel Kennedy, appliance department manager at Lowes on N. Main Street, said the store is expecting heavy traffic that weekend. “It will be a very big weekend,” he said. “It is probably going to be bigger than the tax-free weekend last fall.” The Home Depot and Lowes in High Point will be participating in the rebate program next month. Effron said Energy Star refrigerators use about 50 percent less energy than older models. “A lot of us have those appliances that we’ve been waiting to replace,” he said. “This is an opportunity to do that.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

OBITUARIES, CAROLINAS, ABBY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE TUESDAY, MARCH 23, 2010 www.hpe.com

RALEIGH (AP) – Federal prosecutors say the arguments of a former aide to ex-North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley who wants 51 felony counts against him dismissed are mostly premature or overreaching. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Ra-

Ruffin Poole, a former aide to ex-Gov. Mike Easley, wants nearly all of the corruptionrelated charges against him dismissed. leigh filed on Monday responses to motions filed by Ruffin Poole’s lawyer seeking to throw out nearly all of the corruption-related charges against him. The government rejects arguments by Poole’s lawyer that 12 racketeering-related counts should be voided because he wasn’t a person holding public office. A federal judge will decide on the motions. Poole also faces six additional counts.

RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s Supreme Court was again considering Monday how much the state’s constitution protects a student’s right to education, hearing arguments on whether school officials should have suspended two students for five months after a fight. An attorney for students Viktoria King and Jessica Hardy argued that their actions did not give the school district the right to deny them access to education. King and Hardy were suspended in January 2008 during their sophomore year and were not allowed to attend an alternative school in the area. “Their adolescent missteps do not give us the right to banish them and to strip from them their constitutional rights,” said attorney Jane R. Wettach. An attorney for the Beaufort County Schools superintendent said the students temporarily forfeited their education rights through misconduct. He said the state

already puts limits on school suspensions and that school officials have a rational reason to use that option. “Suspension is rationally related to the board’s legitimate interest in deterring violence at school,” said lawyer Trey Allen. “It’s that simple.” North Carolina’s top court ruled in 1997 that the state Constitution gives each child a right to a “sound basic education.” But that case focused on school funding and didn’t directly address issues such as misbehavior. Wettach cited that past case in her arguments, contending the ruling requires officials to provide a compelling reason for why the student faced such a suspension. “In this case, we had a five-second fistfight outside of school after the bell ran,” she said. “The possible penalty for that was anything from an in-school suspension to suspension for the rest of the year.”

Insurer praises health care bill CHAPEL HILL (AP) – The head of North Carolina’s largest health insurance company sees Washington’s overhaul of the health insurance landscape as a positive step. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina CEO Brad Wilson said Monday he hopes Congress will go fur-

ther by acting to hold down rising health care costs. Wilson says those costs are driving insurance premiums higher. Legislation approved late Sunday bans insurance company from denying coverage to people with pre-existing medical conditions.

Health insurers also would get a big increase in customers since most Americans would be required to buy insurance or face penalties if they refused. Blue Cross ended 2009 with its growth in policyholders flat and profits down 42 percent from the previous year.

GOP: Elections Inquisitive school secretary officials should track is playing by the rules S., Spring City, Pa. Dear Diane S.: Thank you for straightenADVICE ing me out. It appears Dear from the Abby mail I have ■■■ received from educators and school administrative staff that my answer left something to be desired. Mea culpa. For the benefit of parents and students who may not be aware, I’ll share a few more. Read on: Dear Abby: For your information, many times school secretaries are charged with the unpleasant task of having to contact the truant officer, children’s services and others in law enforcement if a child doesn’t come to school and can’t provide a valid doctor’s excuse. The principal and superintendent do these jobs, but it is up to US to track these kids and make sure they attend school as they are supposed to do. – Bothered in Muncie, Ind. Dear Abby: I’m a school secretary. We are required by law to ask for a doctor’s note when a student has accumulated more than five absences due to illness. When a student arrives at school more than 30 minutes late, or leaves more than 30 minutes early (three or more times), that student is considered truant.

With today’s economic mess we need to know why a student is not in school. In California, schools lose more than $30 a day when a student is not in his or her seat, and that money adds up. So, yes, Abby, it IS “our business” to know a student’s medical history. – Victoria in California Dear Abby: “Sick of It” and her mother should speak to the school social worker. She may qualify for services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, including an individualized education plan that could cover services such as in-home schooling, extended time on assignments and the ability to leave school with little or no warning. This is called a 504 Plan. – Kathryn in Newark, Del. Dear Abby: The girl with frequent illness said she plays the clarinet. Has anyone suggested to her that her clarinet could be the culprit? As a band director for more than 30 years, one of the first lessons I go over with beginning or continuing students is to throw away reeds that were used prior to any illness and clean the mouthpiece thoroughly. – Sarah Jane in Severna Park, Md.

Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

RALEIGH (AP) – The state Republican Party wants North Carolina’s elections board to pursue harder an investigation of all the campaign finances of Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue. GOP Chairman Tom Fetzer told reporters on Monday he’s unhappy with the pace and breadth of the review by the State Board of Elections into Perdue’s political committee. The Bev Perdue Committee last Friday forfeited $48,000 in contributions from nine donors after the campaign became worried the nine were unlaw-

ear Abby: I am a high school secretary, and I’m writing about your reply to “Sick of It in Iowa” (Jan. 28), who is upset at the school secretaries for questioning or commenting on her frequent absences. You were right that her medical history is of no concern to the secretary, but her attendance record is very much the business of the secretary. The principal makes the decision regarding when a student is required to bring a doctor’s note with every absence. This procedure is called Persistent Absence, and it means someone has been out of school at least 25 days that school year, or has developed a pattern with his or her absences. School rules are governed by the state. You would be surprised how many parents receive citations and must go to court because of their student’s poor attendance. When a student has a chronic illness, backed by a physician’s statement, the school will bend over backward to work with them, ensuring they receive the best possible education available. It’s not that I don’t empathize with that young lady, but part of an education is teaching students that in the real world, they have a responsibility to maintain a good attendance record that will precede them into college, the work force and life itself. – Diane

son, Robert Snider and wife Alison and two great grandsons, Michael and Robert Snider. Funeral services will be held Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. in the Sechrest Funeral Chapel, 1301 East Lexington Ave. conducted by the Reverend Dr. Charles Waller. Entombment will be in the Floral Garden Park Chapel Mausoleum. Mrs. Allred will remain at Sechrest Funeral Service. The family will receive friends at the mausoleum following services there. In lieu of flowers the family request that memorials be made to Hospice of the Piedmont, 1801 Westchester Dr., High Point, NC 27262 or to Lexington Ave. Baptist Church, 620 East Lexington Ave., High Point, NC 27262.

Patients should be proactive BY NINA HAMMOND

eing proactive with your doctor can lead to a better outcome; however, you are the only one who knows how you feel, so be descriptive and concise when reporting symptoms. Ask questions and be sure you understand what your doctor thinks your problem is and what the treatment will be. Keep a list of your health history including problems and surgeries and a detailed list of medicines including names, dosages and prescribing doctor. Carry these lists with you and give a copy to the person closest to you, who would respond if you were in an accident. This will save time and allow your health-care team to care for you better in an emergency. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to know your past in order to care for you better in the present. Being informed about your health conditions can allow you to set goals on how you would like your treatment to progress. There are many ways to gather information on different medical conditions. You can ask your doctor or nurse. Your pharmacist can talk with you and may have some printed material available. In addition, the Internet is full of information. Just be careful to use a reputable site such as the American Heart Association, WebMD, the American Lung Association or the American Diabetes Association. Take responsibility for your own health. Medicines can only do so much; therefore, lifestyle changes are an important part of disease treatment. If you have been diagnosed with an illness and prescribed a medicine, research the condition and look for ways that you can help. Often medicine is only part of the treatment. For example, if you are diagnosed with high blood pressure and prescribed a diuretic, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;water pill,â&#x20AC;? to reduce your blood pressure, it does not make sense to continue to eat a high-sodium diet. Salt causes fluid retention and goes against what the medicine is doing. Another example would be taking cholesterol medication without altering your dietary intake of cholesterol. If you understand your condition, you can reduce the symptoms and improve your future outcomes. You are the most important member of your health-care team.

Schizophrenia strikes young

ear Dr. Donohue: What causes a normal youth to develop schizophrenia when he reaches the early 20s? How can this condition be corrected? – S.B. Schizophrenia happens at any age, but the late teens and early 20s are years when it frequently develops. The makings of it have been there from birth, with faulty brain wiring and faulty connections between brain cells. This young man had nothing to do with its onset. It’s usually a chronic illness, like diabetes and arthritis. Control with medicine and counseling is quite possible. This illness is a great burden for the patient and the patient’s family. The schizophrenic gradually loses touch with the real world. Patients see things not present and hear things not spoken. They develop a set of delusions, false beliefs that become rooted in their minds – things like the belief that people are plotting against them. These things are real to patients and are a source of pain and anxiety. Their thinking loses organization, and they jump from one thought to the next. They withdraw from social interactions and live entirely in world known only to them. Holding a job is impossible. Medicines can clear hallucinations and delusions, and talk therapy can expose to patients the falsity of their unreal world. The outlook for a patient these days is so much brighter than it

The odds are in your acquaintance’s favor that he will be able HEALTH to get the better of his Dr. Paul illness and Donohue have a pro■■■ ductive life in which he can contribute to society. Don’t anticipate a smooth road of success after success. Often, setbacks occur, but the general direction should be one of progress and hope. This illness is as hard on patients as any illness known to humankind. Your friend or relative needs your love and encouragement. Dear Dr. Donohue: Cellulitis is my problem. I am 78. First I got cellulitis in my right arm and was in the hospital for two weeks. Three years later, I got it in my left arm, and the doctor put me on antibiotics. This past year, I had to go on antibiotics again. What causes it? What is your advice? – A.K. Cellulitis is a rapidly spreading infection of skin cells (hence, “cellulitis”) and the tissues beneath the skin. The Staph or Strep germs are the ones that are usually responsible for it. They enter skin cells through a cut, abrasion, boil or nick so minor that you never realized you had it. Once the infection starts, it expands quickly. The skin turns red,

becomes hot, is tender and people develop a fever and shaking chills. Antibiotics, along with elevation of the affected limb, usually can eradicate the infection. Repeated bouts of cellulitis often happen to those with a swollen arm or leg. If this applies to you, the swelling has to be treated, and treatment hinges on its cause. If swelling isn’t part of your picture, you might need treatment for a longer time than in the past. Or, sometimes prophylactic treatment is the correct route to take. That involves taking a monthly shot of penicillin or a daily antibiotic in a low dose for a prolonged period of time. Dear Dr. Donohue: I had my annual exam, and my lab tests showed a low total iron-binding capacity, TIBC. The doctor tells me everything else is normal. What causes a low TIBC? – V.B. A low value for a lab test indicates a deficiency. That isn’t the case with TIBC, which measures all the blood proteins that can hold on to iron. A low value here means that you have a higher amount of iron in the blood than normal. Sometimes it results from a liver problem, a low level of proteins or an illness called hemochromatosis. If you had one of those problems, other lab tests would be out of range, and you wouldn’t feel well. You can believe your doctor. Since everything else is OK, you’re OK.

Answer: Crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica) is a valuable addition to our landscapes. Originally brought to the United States from China and Korea in 1747, crape myrtles have become very popular over the last 20 or more years. Crape myrtles provide exciting color, texture and form in the landscape. The large clusters of white, pink, red or lavender flowers are intense bursts of color atop the green summer foliage. The exfoliating (peeling) bark and sinuous stems create added interest in both the summer and winter. The trees are deciduous, losing their leaves in the fall, and the fall color is often brilliant orange and red. The key is making sure you choose the appropriate cultivar for the location you have. That is often where the problem with pruning starts. It is difficult to maintain a tree at 7 feet when you have planted one that reaches 35 feet. Crape myrtles range in size from 3 feet in height to those trees that can reach 35 feet. Crape murder, otherwise known as tree topping, is

not an acceptable pruning method. Unfortunately, sawing off the top of the tree with a chain saw has become common place, but this often does more harm than good and can be very damaging and disfiguring to the tree. Topping causes profuse growth at the site of the pruning, basal sprouting, and increases susceptibility to disease and insects. It encourages new growth that is too dense to allow air movement and light to reach the inner branches. Large “knobs” appear where trees have been trimmed repeatedly, and the topped tree has an unsightly appearance until new growth appears. Although topping may result in larger blooms, those flowers will grow on thinner, weaker branches that will droop, especially after rain, and may even break. Late winter is the optimal time to prune crape myrtles if you are going to. Mature, established crape myrtles do not necessarily require annual pruning. The purpose of pruning is to create a canopy in which air can circulate and all branches receive sunlight. To achieve this you may want to thin the internal branching. Crape myrtles can become very dense, with several branches vying for the same space and sunlight. Thinning opens the plant’s canopy up, but it does not change the plant’s overall profile when viewed from the side.

It allows you to remove rubbing branches before they are both ruined. Suckers from the bottom of the plant should also be removed. MASTER GARDENERS will answer questions on horticultural topics.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

It’s a partnership game, but many partnerships consist of two people who merely coexist, like the farmer and the turkey until Thanksgiving. A good player cherishes his partner: He helps him avoid errors. When West led the jack of spades against 3NT, South took the queen (winning with the ace would have given away his holding). He next finessed in diamonds, and West threw the deuce of clubs. East took the king and returned ... a spade. South claimed 11 tricks. Clearly, East-West turkeyed up the defense. What went wrong?

HEART SHIFT If I’d been East, I’d have given West a dressing down. West knows that South has strong spades. If East gets in, West wants a heart shift. West can’t spare a high heart on the first diamond, but he can discard a spade to tell East that a spade return is wrong. Moreover, West can discard a suit-preference ten: a high spade to show strength in the high-ranking remaining suit. If East shifts to the queen of hearts, South

will be down one.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S J 10 9 6 5 2 H A 9 8 6 D None C 10 7 2. Neither side vulnerable. Your partner opens one heart, and the next player bids one spade. What do you say? ANSWER: Jump to four hearts. To double one spade for penalty would be a mistake when you have slender high-card values and heart support. The opponents have a big fit in a minor suit; the player at your left can’t have many hearts or spades. Seek your own contract and try to shut out the opponents. South dealer Both sides vulnerable

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.

ECU hires Lebo GREENVILLE (AP) – East Carolina has turned to former Auburn coach Jeff Lebo to lead its long-struggling men’s basketball program. The school announced Monday it had hired Lebo to replace Mack McCarthy, who spent three seasons on the sideline for the Pirates before stepping down to take a fundraising job in the school’s athletics department. Lebo had spent the past six seasons at Auburn, going 96-93 overall and leading the Tigers to the NIT last season before he was fired earlier this month. The 43-year-old coach played at North Carolina under Dean Smith in the late 1980s and had coached at Tennessee Tech and Chattanooga previously. The school has scheduled a news conference for Lebo today.

Tar Heels’ Zeller iffy to play in NIT tonight CHAPEL HILL (AP) – North Carolina coach Roy Williams says sophomore Tyler Zeller is uncertain to play against UAB in the third round of the NIT tonight. Zeller was hit above his left eye midway through the second half of the weekend win for UNC (18-16) at Mississippi State. The blow opened a cut that needed five stitches and left him with a mild concussion. Williams said Monday that Zeller is “5050” to play and that he wouldn’t practice. The 7-footer had seven points and seven rebounds off the bench against the Bulldogs. The Blazers (25-8) are led by guard Elijah Millsap, who averages 16 points and 9.6 rebounds and had 27 points and 15 rebounds in UAB’s 72-52 win over N.C. State on Saturday. Forward Howard Crawford and guard Jamarr Sanders also average double figures for UAB, which lost its only other meeting with an ACC school this season when it fell at Virginia at the end of December. UAB is coached by Mike Davis.

Jimmie Johnson tosses a loaf of bread in victory lane after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tenn., on Sunday. Johnson looks to bring home the bacon again this week when the series visits Martinsville Speedway, where the four-time Cup champion has dominated in recent seasons.

Johnson express rolls into Martinsville BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

BRISTOL, Tenn. – Those people wishing for the Jimmie Johnson express to derail might just have to wait at least another week. The Cup tour goes to Martinsville Speedway, where Johnson under normal circumstances is the favorite, given his five victories in the past seven races. He looks more formidable now on the strength of a hot start this season. He has three wins, including Sunday’s triumph at Bristol Motor Speedway, which had been one of his poorer tracks until last year.

Denny Hamlin, who cut some of his race teeth by running late models at Martinsville, has beaten him twice in the past four races at the Virginia short track, including last fall. And seven-time winner Jeff Gordon can’t be overlooked, although he has no Martinsville victories since Johnson’s domination began. “I feel we’re one of the ones to consider,” Johnson said after winning before much less than a full crowd on Sunday. “But this is racing, and anything can and will happen. We’re off to a great start. But we’ve all seen enough teams rise and fall. You never just hand it to anybody.”

Sunday’s victory was the 50th of Johnson’s career. Johnson said he doesn’t have a set number of wins that he would like to have. All he wants to do now is to keep taking checkered flags so he can demoralize the competition. “I told (crew chief Chad Knaus) before the year was over, I don’t have a number of wins, but I wanted to win a lot to frustrate the competitors,” Johnson said. “I think over the last few years, we’ve been able to get in some guys’ heads and I think it’s been helpful. I don’t want to lose that advantage if we can prevent it.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Duke’s Smith makes his mark BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – If there is a such a thing as an odd man out in Duke’s so-called big three, it has to be Nolan Smith. Jon Scheyer is the senior, an established name entering the season whose hot start made him a candidate for national player of the year. Kyle Singler was a step ahead of even Scheyer to start the season, a versatile junior named preseason player of the year in the ACC. Then there’s Smith, quickly cast as the third member of the big three after an up-and-down sophomore season, a step behind the others in terms of national recognition.

Sunday night, Smith caught the attention of fans from coast-tocoast, especially the West coast, playing a leading role in ending Cal’s season while Smith leading Duke into the Sweet 16. “He has been probably the unsung hero, he and (Brian Zoubek), because you knew that Kyle and Jon coming in were going to be, and they have been, really good,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “And he can still get a lot better. “He can get a lot better, but he’s been playing great basketball for us all year.” Smith scored a game-high 20 points

in the Blue Devils’ 68-53 victory over Cal and, just as important, didn’t allow his primary defensive assignment to come close to 20. Lightning-quick point guard Jerome Randle, a threat to drive all the way to the basket or pull up from 25 feet, managed just 12 points against Smith, a premier on-the-ball defender even if he’s not universally regarded as such. “Playing against a player like him, it’s kind of a statement game,” Smith said. “People don’t really have my name out there as one of the top defenders in the country, but I think of myself as one of the top defenders in the country.” Smith scored 11 of Duke’s first 26 points to set the tone against Cal.

HIT AND RUN

he first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament offered more drama than an “NYPD Blue” marathon. Fifteen games – you read right – 15 games were decided by five points or less. A stunning 18 contests remained in doubt until the final two minutes. We witnessed a double-overtime game, two more overtime battles and no fewer than four buzzer-beaters. But for all that excitement, an even more colorful factor stood out. The Big Red of Cornell left a pair of favored opponents feeling blue. Until a few days ago, I thought of chewing

gum and Secretariat when I heard “Big Red.” Now, I’m thinking basketball. The 12th-seeded Big Red opened with a 7865 dismantling of fifth-seeded Temple, then crushed fourth-seeded Wisconsin 87-69 to advance to a Sweet 16 matchup with top-seeded Kentucky in the East Regional semifinals on Thursday night. Cornell may be a 12 seed, but the Big Red looks like a solid Final Four contender to me. The Big Red’s offense features constant screens and non-stop motion. Point guard Louis Dale is a fearless floor leader and shooting guard Ryan Whitman stirs memo-

ries of his father Randy, who starred at Indiana and in the pros. Seven-foot center Jeff Foote powers the inside game, and Cornell’s defense makes it tough for foes to get into their rhythm. Cornell won the Ivy League by two games and is the first team from that league to go this far in the NCAAs since Penn reached the 1979 Final Four. Kentucky’s road to the Final Four may just run into a Big Red stop sign in Syracuse on Thursday night.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell likes the proposal to modify overtime in the playoffs. Can his support sway enough owners to approve it for next season? The competition committee recommended Monday to the 32 owners that a team losing the coin toss and then surrendering a field goal on the first possession should have a series of its own in OT. Such a rules change would need 24 votes for ratification. “This stays true to the integrity of the game,” Goodell said. “The competition committee has come up with something very much worth considering. It keeps the tradition of sudden death, and I think it is responsive to some of the issues that have been brought up. “It’s getting a lot of thought. It’s got potential to be a better system.” Statistics examined by the committee showed that since 1994, teams winning the coin toss win the game 59.8 percent of the time. The team that loses the toss wins the game 38.5 percent in that 15-year span.

Braves’ McLouth looks to overcome struggles KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — Wearing a new set of contact lenses, Nate McLouth has been able to see the ball better than ever this spring. That doesn’t mean, however, that the Atlanta center fielder has been able to hit it. Mired in a 0 for 28 slump with 12 strikeouts, McLouth batted in every inning of a rainshorted minor league game Sunday in hopes of getting on track with the start of the season two weeks away. McLouth got three hits — two more than he’s had in real spring games. Maybe the move worked. Finally, he had something positive to build on. “I just needed to step away,” said McLouth, batting .029. “Hitting is a funny thing. It can wear on you, even in spring training when numbers don’t matter — because they do. “Not necessarily numbers, but feeling well and making good contact matters. And when that’s not happening, regardless of whether it’s spring training or not, that’s frustrating.” Frustrating for McLouth and worrisome for the Braves. They are counting on him to be their leadoff hitter. How bad has McLouth been this spring? His one hit in 35 at-bats came on March 6 and he has 14 strikeouts and three walks, striking out twice in five of his past eight games. McLouth needed to take a step back before he could move forward. When manager Bobby Cox and hitting coach Terry Pendleton brought up batting every inning in a minor league game, McLouth agreed. The 28-year-old McLouth didn’t hit as well as expected after being acquired from Pittsburgh in early June, but that was blamed on hamstring problems that forced him to miss time and a bout with blurred vision. Now his legs are 100 percent and his vision is improved with contacts. The only thing wrong with the former National League All-Star is his spring batting average.

NEW YORK (AP) — The 32 compensatory draft choices in the 2010 NFL Draft (April 2224) awarded to teams that suffered a net loss of certain quality unrestricted free agents last year.

Post players come up big for Duke DURHAM (AP) – Duke’s “Big Three” handle most of the scoring. It’s the big men doing the dirty work underneath who have helped the Blue Devils advance to the round of 16. What was considered a serious liability for Duke – a lack of reliable size in the paint – has become an unsung strength. The Blue Devils are better equipped to deal with the off nights that sometimes plague teams that thrive on 3-point shooting. Kyle Singler, Jon Scheyer and Nolan Smith combine to average 67 percent

Hokies slip past Huskies THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BLACKSBURG, Va. – Dorenzo Hudson scored 17 of his game-high 27 points in the second half to lift Virginia Tech past Connecticut 65-63 in a secondround NIT game Monday night. The Hokies (25-8), who tied a school record for victories, advanced to the quarterfinals of the NIT. UConn finished 18-16.

of the team’s points. But in years past, a cold shooting night by any of them might have led to an early exit from the NCAA tournament. That hasn’t been a problem this time. Not with center Brian Zoubek dominating the lane, gritty senior Lance Thomas playing with unmatched emotion and 6-foot-10 brothers Miles and Mason Plumlee filling valuable roles off the bench. “This team has so much talent and so much potential. Every game, somebody steps up, and that’s the exciting thing about

this team,” Smith said after a second-round win against California. “Any game, somebody is going to surprise you.” Lately, that’s been Zoubek – well, at least to outsiders, anyway. The 7-foot-1 senior had 14 points and 13 rebounds in the win against Cal, and he’s reached double figures in rebounds in six of the last 12 games of his late-season surge. But his value to the No. 1 seeded Blue Devils (31-5) can’t be measured solely by his stat line. His presence in the paint is a key plus.

Banking bill set to pass WASHINGTON (AP) – Republicans abandoned hope of altering Wall Street legislation in a key Senate committee on Monday, clouding prospects for a bipartisan bill and leaving the fight for the full Senate. Republicans had offered more than 300 amendments to legislation proposed by Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd, but they withdrew them over the weekend. That cleared the way for a quick party-line committee vote on Dodd’s proposal late Monday or early Tuesday. The surprise development did nothing to mend the partisan fissures over the legislation and adds even more uncertainty to Congress’ ability to pass a sweeping rewrite of fi-

JetBlue to keep NY headquarters NEW YORK – JetBlue will keep its corporate headquarters in New York City after considering a move to Orlando, Fla. The company said Monday it will move about 1,000 staffers from two area offices to a new location in Long Island City, in the New York City borough of Queens. The carrier’s main office is currently in neighboring Forest Hills. It also has a small finance department in Darien, Conn.

Ex-Citi exec named new E-Trade CEO NEW YORK – E-Trade Financial Corp. said Monday that it has tapped former Citigroup Inc. executive Steven Freiberg to be its new CEO, starting next month. The brokerage firm also plans to ask shareholders to support a reverse stock split, which will lower its total share amount to 400 million.

nancial regulations this year. The Senate would not take up the bill until April at the earliest. “You’ll have Easter recess, and that’s when, I guess, over the course of the next several weeks when the real negotiations will be taking place,” said Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., a member of the committee who had held negotiations with Dodd. Corker spoke on CNBC. The measure aims to avoid a recurrence of the 2008 financial crisis that helped plunge the country into the deepest recession since the Great Depression. Industry lobbyists said the decision made it much more difficult to predict what the Senate would ultimately do with the legislation. Various potential outcomes were likely:

• The legislation would go to the floor but without the support of at least one Republican, it would be blocked by procedural delays that would require 60 votes to overcome. There are 41 Republicans in the Senate, enough to sustain a filibuster. • The bill would pass out of committee on a partyline vote, but Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, the ranking Republican on the committee, would strike a bargain and pass a bill with bipartisan support. That is what happened last year with legislation that changed credit card rules. • The bill would move out of committee and Democrats would seek to pick off one or two Republicans to support the bill and break a filibuster.

Ford CEO makes $17.9 million DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) – Ford Motor Co. President and CEO Alan Mulally made $17.9 million last year, about 1 percent more than the year before, as the company struggled through the worst U.S. auto sales market in decades, according to a calculation by The Associated Press based on government filings. Mulally took a 30 percent pay cut last February, dropping his salary to $1.4 million, and he got no bonus for the second year in a row. But the value of his stock options and stock awards rose by 9 percent to more than $16

million as the market improved and Ford’s shares climbed later in the year. Ford shares rose to a five-year high last week after Moody’s Investors Service upgraded the automaker’s debt and said Ford has the potential to improve its finances even further. Ford shares rose 35 cents, or nearly 3 percent to $13.65 in morning trading Monday. Mulally’s compensation included $127,699 for use of a private jet. Ford spent $752,203 for Mulally’s air travel on corporate jets the year before, but it began the process of selling its corporate jets in 2009.

PepsiCo reaffirms earnings forecast NEW YORK (AP) – PepsiCo Inc. maintained its forecast for long-term earnings growth as it looks to increase overseas revenue. The world’s second-biggest food and beverage company said Monday that it still anticipates 2010 earnings growth of 11 percent to 13 percent and low-double-digit profit growth for 2011 and 2012. The forecast is on a core constant currency basis, which exclude certain items. PepsiCo said it wants to boost its international revenue at two times the real global GDP growth rate. The Purchase, N.Y. company also wants to gain market share in its

snacks and liquid refreshment beverage segments in the top 20 markets. Food from PepsiCo’s snack business, FritoLay, will be more closely marketed with its beverages now that the company owns its bottlers, Pepsi Bottling Group and PepsiAmericas. To that end, the company disclosed in a regulatory filing that it had a total of $61 million in costs last year related to the acquisition of the two bottlers. PepsiCo, which closed on its $7.8 billion purchase of Pepsi Bottling Group and PepsiAmericas last month, said it had $50 million of costs related to the acquisitions for the year ended Dec. 26.

Health care companies boost Wall Street NEW YORK (AP) – Drug and hospital companies led stocks higher Monday after House lawmakers ended months of uncertainty and approved the health care overhaul bill. The Dow Jones industrial average rose about 44 points. Broader indexes also climbed. Investors had expected the health care bill would pass the House, but the approval late Sunday removed some of the anxiety that has dogged stocks of hospitals and drug makers. Hospital stocks rose on expectations they would see more business and increased revenue. Some insurers fell because of greater restrictions imposed by the changes. Hospital operator Tenet Healthcare Corp. rose 9 percent, while insurer UnitedHealth Group Inc. fell 3.2 percent. “You’ve got some uncertainty here lifted,” said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank in Chicago. Ablin noted, however, that other industries will face higher costs to pay for wider coverage. “What it really comes down to is that as a result of this bill health care is a beneficiary at the expense of every other sector.” Meanwhile, retailers signaled that affluent consumers are stepping up spending.

Geithner: Overhaul must protect consumers WASHINGTON (AP) – Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says the administration will not accept a financial overhaul bill that does not provide strong consumer protection and restraints on risk taking by large banks. Geithner urged lawmakers to listen to the families and businesses that were harmed by the financial crisis and not the financial institutions that brought on the crisis, the most severe to hit the country since the 1930s. “The test we face is whether we can enact real reforms that provide strong protection for consumers, strong constraints on risk taking by large institutions and strong tools to protect the economy and taxpayers from future

crises,” Geithner said in remarks prepared for delivery to the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank. “We will not accept a bill that does not meet that test,” Geithner said. His comments came as the Senate Banking Committee was preparing to take up legislation sponsored by Sen. Christopher Dodd, the chairman of the committee. In his remarks, Geithner said the country was facing a “defining moment” in the battle to enact financial reform. The administration put forward a set of recommendation nine months ago and the House passed a bill in December. But progress has been slower in the Seante with Dodd so far unable to

win Republican support for an overhaul bill. Geithner said that America’s leadership on global financial matters was at stake in the congressonal debate. “If we fail to act, America will lose this opportunity to set the global agenda, to define new high standards for all financial companies and to lead the debate in shaping a level playing field on terms that play to our strengths,” Geithner said. “If we fail to act, American firms that operate globally will face a more balkanized system, with higher costs of doing business and riddled with pockets of lower standards designed to attract the kinds of risky behavior we are seeking to end,” he said.

Germany balks at Greek aid; IMF may intercede BRUSSELS (AP) – German reluctance over bailing out Greece has raised the chances that the debt-laden country will be forced to turn to the International Monetary Fund for assistance, possibly by the end of this week, in an embarrassing setback for European political union. Greece has around €20 billion ($27.1 billion) of debt maturing over the next couple of months and the last thing it wants is to pay sky-high premiums to get support in the international bond markets. But an unusually public spat between EU officials and German Chancellor Angela Merkel over how to help Greece has kept investors on edge ahead of an EU leaders’ meeting Thursday.

“A crisis that began over Greece’s borrowing costs is now metamorphosing into a more serious threat to the political and economic order in Europe as a whole,” said Stephen Lewis, chief economist at Monument Securities in London. EU governments said last week they would provide Greece with some form of support, possibly bilateral loans, should it be needed. Greece says it does not need a direct cash infusion, but concrete measures that will convince markets it will not be allowed to default. That would lower its costs to raise money. In the past few days, however, Germany has been dashing those hopes – and raising the possibility that the IMF be involved.

Affleck launches aid group for Congo NAIROBI, Kenya – Actor and director Ben Affleck launched a new initiative Monday to raise money and awareness over atrocities committed against women and children during years of conflict. The foundation – the Eastern Congo Initiative – will support community-based, Congolese groups, said Affleck on the heels of his fifth trip to the country.

Protesters against Akon throw stones COLOMBO, Sri Lanka – Protesters outraged at an upcoming concert by R&B singer Akon hurled stones at a Sri Lankan private broadcaster’s headquarters Monday, injuring four workers. A police spokesman said several protesters were taken into custody after throwing rocks at the headquarters of the Majaraja Organization.

Suspect may have hidden stars’ goods LOS ANGELES – Police suspect the alleged mastermind behind a rash of celebrity burglaries may have hidden a large amount of the stolen property with her father’s help, court records show.

Judge hears lesbian teen’s suit to force prom ABERDEEN, Miss. (AP) – Officials who canceled a prom after a lesbian student asked to bring her girlfriend told a federal judge Monday there were issues with the event even before that. The American Civil Liberties Union is suing in U.S. District Court to force the Itawamba County school district to

sponsor the prom and allow Constance McMillen to escort her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo. Schools Superintendent Teresa McNeece and school board Chairman Eddie Hood testified that they had discussed not sponsoring the prom even before McMillen challenged a rule that prohibits same-sex dates.
