HIGH POINT – High Point leaders on Tuesday unveiled a plan to help steer former violent offenders away from criminal lifestyles. Under the city’s partnership with America Works – a New York-based company that helps find work for people with criminal records and other hard-to-serve job-seekers – a handpicked group of chronic ex-offenders will get job readiness training, job placement and monitoring services to make sure they stay in meaningful, full-time employment. “This is not just about crime deterrence. It’s about building lives,” said Mayor Becky Smothers. “I think we in the community see this as a wonderful opportunity to turn around a life that has gone way afar.” High Point police officials and High Point Community Against Violence representatives hope America Works will help them address a shortcoming in their otherwise successful strategy for reducing violent crime. In targeting chronic offenders who drive the majority of violence and other crime locally, the police and HPCAV have had difficulties finding them work. “It is very difficult to find work for an offender in this economy. It is very difficult for anyone to find work,” said HPCAV Executive Director Jim Summey. According to the company, which has operated welfare-to-work programming since 1984, it has placed about 175,000 clients in jobs in its operations in New York, Albany, N.Y., Baltimore, Newark, Oakland and Philadelphia. A growing body of evidence suggests that putting released prisoners to work reduces recidivism and is more cost-effective than repeat incarceration, according to the company. “This is not about jobs. This is not about helping ex-offenders get jobs,” said police Chief Jim Fealy. “This is about violent crime reduction.” City Council last month approved a $100,000 contract with America Works – $55,000 of which was raised by business leaders in the community who comprise HPCAV’s advisory board. The city is funding the remaining amount. Officials are seeking other funding sources to sustain it beyond its first year. “The fact that you have the business community, political leadership, police and others all on board – we don’t usually see that kind of broad community support,” said Lee Bowes, America Works’ CEO. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Sheriff David Grice speaks as Tommy Evans, (from left) Terry Price and Edgar Shuler wait their turn at the candidates’ forum for Davidson County sheriff at the Edward C. Smith Civic Center in Lexington.

Davidson County sheriff, candidates square off BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

LEXINGTON – Davidson County Sheriff David Grice told an audience gathered for a sheriff’s forum Tuesday night that the negative publicity surrounding the sheriff’s office may return under a Gerald Hege administration. “I believe we somewhat carried a reputation of being a wild and lawless place with a cowboy and storm trooper sheriff, which we are trying to live down at this time,” Grice said. “ ... That’s not what we need. That’s not the kind of publicity we need. We need positive publicity.” Grice made those comments during a candidates forum hosted by No Deals!, a nonpartisan association aimed at stopping Hege from being re-elected. The forum was attended by about 400 people at the Edward C. Smith Civic Center in Lexington. Hege was not in attendance. Referring to Hege, Grice said he would not be involved in making money-making schemes and reality TV shows. He said the sheriff should not be a “talking head.” Keeping with the theme of the No Deals! Association, members invited state Sen. Stan Bingham, R-Davidson, to speak before Grice, Tommy Evans, Terry Price and Edgar Shuler squared off at the forum. Bingham told the crowd he was trying to stop convicted felons, such as Hege, from ever being elected as sheriff. If a bill, introduced by Bingham, passes in the General Assembly, it would not impact Hege from being elected this year, but he would not be able to

Although Hege did not attend the forum, the debate did have some moments, with Grice and Shuler at odds about a tactic recently introduced by Grice, the incumbent sheriff. Shuler previously told The High Point Enterprise that he had been fired by Grice after the sheriff got wind of his plans to run against him. Shuler criticized the sheriff’s decision to recently publicize drug arrests made in the schools. Grice said he started issuing press releases on a constant basis to stop youngsters from committing crimes once they read their names in the newspaper. Shuler said a sheriff should publicize the information during his whole term instead of waiting until “election time.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY — These days, it takes more than high-quality teachers to keep schools running smoothly and keep students engaged — and out of trouble. Public schools of the 21st century employ an array of counselors and social workers, while enacting programs that reward good behavior and scholarship. The Positive Behavior Support program is used

in many of Guilford County’s schools. “An engaged student does EDUCATION not make trouble,” 2010 Enrichment ReThe gion Superclassroom intendent of the 21st Lewis Fecentury rebee said ■■■ during a recent Guilford County Board of Education session. “It’s about 3 to 5 percent of the students who make most of the trouble.” And while many schools have social workers, modern teachers frequently find themselves in a similar role. “Some teachers adopt troubled students to talk about their problems

before a student loses control,” Western Region Superintendent Angelo Kidd said during the school board session. And modern educators know that a student’s success depends on support on the home front. To that end, schools of the 21st century place an increased emphasis on parental involvement. “And when you get parents involved, for the most part it works,” Kidd said. Some troubled students are assigned to detention sessions after school and on the weekends, and many go to a School Community Alternative Learning Environment site in Greensboro or High Point where classes in basic subjects are available. Of 301 students recommended for SCALE long-term suspensions in the 2008-09 school year,

228 took classes at the school for the rest of the school year, according to a district report. The average student assignment was 54 days. Guilford County Board of Education members are split on how principals should handle suspensions because of the racial disparities. Shortterm suspensions for black students totaled 8,604 for the 2008-09 year compared to 1,946 for white students. Longterm suspensions totaled two for white students and 32 for African-American students, according to a recent report. “A lot of what we do does not work,” said school board member Sandra Alexander. “We need to look at the data to see what works.”

to High Point Chief of Police Jim Fealy, said in a response to the e-mail survey about SROs in the schools. “Because SROs are on campus every day, they develop positive relationships with students and faculty which enable them to gain information that may allow the officer to intervene before a problem arises,” Myers wrote, “as an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Law enforcement chiefs meeting with district leaders earlier this year backed the need for sworn officers in the schools. “SROs are sworn law enforcement officers with hundreds of hours of training,” Myers said. “This is something security guards may not possess. Sworn officers are taught to state standards on how to use force and how much can be used. This should be a comforting thought for parents knowing that state standards have to be met before force can be used.”

HIGH POINT – The High Point Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved a rezoning at its meeting Tuesday night that may give way to further development in the North High Point area. A request from Deep River Center LLC and CHK LLC to rezone 9.9 acres at the northeastern and northwestern corners of Samet Drive and Admiral Drive to a general office intensity district was favorably recommended by the commission. The request allows the area to be used for office space as well as high density residential uses with 26 units per acre or less. The development goal for the property is a mixed use development consisting of multifamily and office uses, according to the proposal. Anthony Lester, a representative for CHK LLC and Deep River Center LLC, said Windfall Properties had plans to build approximately 48 elderly living units on a portion of the property. “That’s why we requested the GO-H (general office with high intensity) zoning,” Lester said. “That would con-

I worry day to day what is going to happen next.” Bolds’ staff works hard to reach out to troubled students, she said. “By the time a student is suspended, we have tried to reach out four to five times with our various programs, our counselors and social worker,” Bolds said. SROs not only protect students and faculty, they also serve as good role models, Lt. Steve Myers, administrative assistant

Senate likes the sound of earmarks

Town Council Mayor Allen L. Todd, 408 Oaklawn Road, Winston-Salem 27107; 769-3065 h; 769-0880 w

ou may have seen the 31⁄4-inch story headlined “Senate rejects freeze on earmarks” in a midweek edition of The High Point Enterprise and wondered if at least 68 senators once again are speaking with forked tongues. Most of them, you’ll recall, when asked by constituents what they think about earmarks pretend to be against them, especially during election or re-election campaigns. Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., offered an amendment to impose a one-year moratorium on earmarks with 24 fellow Republicans and four Democrats (Russ Feingold, Wisconsin; Evan Bayh, Indiana; Claire McCaskill, Missouri; Ted Kaufman, Delaware) voting for it while 68 senators – including 15 from the GOP – overwhelmingly defeated the measure. Sen. Richard Burr voted yes, Sen. Kay Hagan voted no. Wikipedia describes an earmark as “a legislative (especially congressional) provision that directs approved funds to be spent on specific projects or that directs specific exemptions from taxes or mandated fees. Earmarks can be added on to appropriations bills (causing more money to be spent) or they can be “carved out” of bills (the same amount of money is spent, but restrictions are placed on how the money is spent).” The Associated Press reported that earmark opponents claim they often are wasteful, invite corruption and are a way to win votes for big-lending legislation. Good point. Logic indicates those who voted against DeMint’s amendment don’t fret a bit about spending taxpayers’ money through earmarks, especially if it will (1) help them get re-elected and (2) benefit them when business leaders and hired lobbyists return the favor with campaign contributions. Earmark defenders claim the giveaways represent “but a small of the overall budget” and allow “lawmakers to exercise Congress’ power of the purse, and that they know the needs of their states better than agency bureaucrats.” Good point. By either method, earmarks are a bribe or a kickback. They aren’t fair. They shouldn’t be used to sweeten the taste of legislation for lawmakers who otherwise balk at voting for it and shouldn’t be used by administrations to reward selected constituents. Does the mess into which those we send to represent us in Washington have dropped us really matter? You bet it does. Let us remind you of the words of former Illinois senator Everett Dirksen, “A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you’re talking about real money.” That’s heavy stuff!

Some teenagers are making puzzling decisions about sex

FOUR VIEWS

---

couple of looks of sympathy, a word of encouragement here and there, and maybe a handful of empathetic peers willing to engage in babybump-related chatter. These passive-aggressive actions tend to be received by soon-to-be teen moms. Teen pregnancy is virtually accepted as just another way of life. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk down the hallways at school without seeing at least one pregnant girl; most of them having trouble convincing the babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father to stay involved. Abstinence is practiced by fewer and fewer teenagers every day. Lack of ability to speak their minds and unwillingness to be rude keeps onlookers from asking the true questions that tend to nag at their brains whilst watching a pregnant teenager walking down the halls. Everyone wants to be kind and inquire about things that have no true meaning: When is your baby due? What are you going to name him/her? We always fail to ask what the plans are for the baby after birth. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask if she plans on going to college now that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a child on the way. In our own way,

we appear to offer special treatment for these girls we tend to pity. For me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to find true sympathy for these girls when they made the choice to TEEN VIEW have sex at such a young age. Hailey The careless acHendrix tions the girl and â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; boy exhibit by having sex at this age are ignorant. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the only person tired of beating around the bush, and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but think about the true reason this coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life potentially could be ruined. It was their naivetĂŠ that put them in this situation, so why must the rest of us feel sympathy? Thanks to their actions, a pregnancy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which should be looked at as a blessing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is (in most cases) seen as a burden. If they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the responsibility and risk that comes from sexual intercourse, then maybe they shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have taken part in it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly hard to see raising a child as a life-enriching experience when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re staying up all night with your baby when you

want to be out with your friends. Most teenagers havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had the time to develop the patience and skills needed to be good parents, and because of this not only will the teens suffer but their baby. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wrap my mind around the possible causes for choosing this as a way of life. Could it be shows such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;16 and Pregnantâ&#x20AC;? that manage to glamorize teen pregnancy? All I know is that if I got pregnant at an age even remotely close to 16, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get punished, not my own TV show. Those who manage to find happiness, and become good parents in their teen years have my respect. I do not pretend to agree with their choices, but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resent them for making a decision I would find life-altering and difficult. I just truly believe that if you think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re old enough to have sex, you also should know that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re old enough to accept the possible consequences, which include nine months of discomfort and a life completely different than what it otherwise would be.

Dear friend, Grover Cleveland was President when the main procedure used in my profession was discovered. You may think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit antiquated, but why change something that has such a dramatic success rate and has been getting sick and hurting people well since 1895? People are often impressed with highly sophisticated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;cutting edgeâ&#x20AC;? therapies and drugs; that kind of thing certainly gets attention. But, in my ofďŹ ce, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to try to impress you with fancy technology. However, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to be even more impressed with the results you may get. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s results that count. Health, or the lack of it, very often has simple causes, and very reasonable corrections. The people that often come to see me have been everywhere else ďŹ rst, and wound up with huge medical bills, and are still no better off. Often, they may have been subjected to medications that may have only served to temporarily mask symptoms. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what most people are looking for. Before I go on and tell you more, let me tell you something about me. Years ago something happened to me that changed my life forever. Twenty years ago I started college, but I was overwhelmed by intense migraine headaches that were getting worse. They made it nearly impossible to study. The medical doctors just gave me pills and said it would go away, but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. In my case they came on slowly, over years, but they worsened to the point where I could barely function. Most of my time was spent lying down in a dark room, taking handfuls of painkillers. I felt like giving up. A friend of mine convinced me to give a chiropractor a try. The chiropractor did an exam, took some ďŹ lms, and then adjusted my spine. The adjustment didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt, it actually felt good. I got relief, and I ďŹ nally felt like myself again. It felt great to throw away that bottle of pills. In fact, it worked so well that not only did I ďŹ nish college but I went on to chiropractic school myself. For the last ten years, people from Thomasville and the surrounding area have come to see me with their headache problems. They also come to me with their: s #ARPAL 4UNNEL s -IGRAINES s .ECK 0AIN s 3HOULDER !RM 0AIN

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what some of my patients had to say: I thought that there was no way anyone could help my problem and that I would have to live with it. I am now able to swim and run without pain which I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to do for 2 years.

Of course, all people respond differently to care, but we get terriďŹ c results. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as simple as that! Chiropractic is probably the most misunderstood health care profession there is. It is about working with, and enhancing the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural healing abilities. Chiropractors ďŹ nd and remove interference in the nerve system, which allows the body to respond better. As misunderstood as it is, the studies speak for themselves, like the Virginia study that showed THAT OVER OF PATIENTS WHO SAW A CHIROPRACtor were satisďŹ ed with their results. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just incredible! Tens of millions of Americans no longer have health insurance, and those who do have found that their beneďŹ ts are greatly reduced. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where chiropractic comes in. A seven-

Congress welcomes Netanyahu WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received a warmer public reception from Congress than from the Obama administration, with a top Democrat and Republican joining Tuesday to praise a leader who has refused to back down in a disagreement the White House says threatens new peace talks. President Barack

Obama met with Netanyahu late in the day, but in a break with custom, reporters were not permitted to see the leaders shake hands and begin their discussions. Their talks came after two weeks of sharp criticism from the White House about its closest ally in the Middle East. Obama has remained out of the fray until now.

Obama signs landmark health legislation into law and the Republicans said Tuesday that those Democratic lawmakers would pay dearly in this Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elections. Opinion polls show the public remains skeptical, too, and Obama will fly to Iowa on Thursday for the first of a number of appearances that will be more like a continuing sales job than a victory lap. The White House hopes the victory will revitalize an Obama presidency. Meanwhile, attorneys general from 13 states acted on their opposition immediately, filing suit to stop the overhaul just minutes after the bill signing. Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum took the lead in the lawsuit that contends the legislation is unconstitutional, joined by colleagues from South Carolina, Nebraska, Texas, Michigan, Utah, Pennsylvania, Alabama, South Dakota, Louisiana, Idaho, Washington and Colorado. Other GOP attorneys general may join the suit later or sue separately.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Claiming a historic triumph that could define his presidency, a jubilant Barack Obama signed a massive, nearly $1 trillion health care overhaul on Tuesday that will for the first time cement insurance coverage as the right of every U.S. citizen and begin to reshape the way virtually all Americans receive and pay for treatment.

Clinic contract near approval BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Health officials are close to signing a contract with a health care company to operate a new clinic for a needy southeast Greensboro neighborhood. County Attorney Mark Payne told the Guilford County Board of Health on Monday that just a few issues remain to be settled before the contract with Prison Health Services Inc., based in Brentwood, Tenn., is ready for approval. The company provides health care services for the Guilford County jails and the county Juvenile Detention Center. The health board voted 8-0 to allow Health Director Merle Green to continue with contract negotiations. PHS physicians and nurses would work in a building the county has leased in the 2000 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Greensboro. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners approved the lease last year. County officials have worked on the project for several years. Health officials call the area north of Business Interstate 40-85 the 27406 community based on its postal ZIP code. “The community wants a standard of care that meets community needs,” said Health Director Merle Green. “They say that if medical care is there, it will be used.” Residents have complained for years they lack basic health care. The clinic would be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday. “People have been going to the hospital emergency room for treatment because that’s all that is open after 5 p.m.,” Green said. Payne and Rodney Holliman, PHS community corrections president, did not discuss a fee structure. Initial plans called for uninsured patients to pay per visit. The clinic also would accept Medicaid and Medicare payments.

Judge denies bond request BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A judge on Tuesday denied a motion to reduce the bond of a High Point man jailed on charges of carrying out a violent domestic assault last year. Ricky Charles Burns, 24, was arrested Nov. 7, 2009, and charged with first-degree sexual offense, first-degree burglary, first-degree kidnapping and assault on a female. A former girlfriend called police during the early-morning hours on that date and told officers Burns had kicked in the door of her Northpoint Avenue apartment and sexually assaulted and beaten her. Assistant District Attorney Christon Halkiotis said after Burns broke into the woman’s apartment, he blocked

the door with a couch to prevent her from leaving. The alleged victim tried to call 911 on her cell phone, but the defendant ripped it out of her hand. Dispatchers who answered the call could hear only a woman screaming on the line but knew where to send police because they knew calls from that number could involve domestic violence, prosecutors said. Burns told the alleged victim, “Since you’re calling the police and trying to put me in jail, I might as well kill you,” Halkiotis said. Officers responded just before 5 a.m. and arrested Burns at the scene. Burns’ attorney, Ron Butler, asked Superior Court Judge Ronald E. Spivey of Forsyth County to lower his client’s bond from $250,000

WHO’S NEWS

----

to about $5,000. Butler said Burns has lifelong ties to the community that would increase the likelihood he would show up for future court dates. Butler said the alleged victim, who came to court Tuesday, wanted the charges against Burns reduced or dropped. “Many times in domestic violence cases, my victims’ witness coordinator will get a call from a victim trying to recant,” Halkiotis said. “That has not happened here, to my knowledge. These are very serious charges.” Spivey kept the $250,000 bond in place after hearing from the alleged victim, who didn’t deny anything she had previously told police about the case.

ment of Public Instruction. School officials did not expel any students during the year. EDUCATION Short-term suspensions 2010 lasting up to 10 days The decreased classroom slightly by of the 21st less than 1 century percent,while ■■■ long-term suspensions of more than 10 days for more serious offenses showed a larger decline, down 59 percent from 2007-08. The district’s rate of short-term suspensions is lower than the state’s with 29.7 suspensions per 100 students compared to the

state average of 34.8 per 100 students. The district reported 11,928 short-term suspensions and 41 long-term suspensions. Ninth-grade students make up the largest number of suspensions and expulsions statewide. “We are doing a better job in our low-performing elementary and middle schools with suspensions, but not as well in the high schools,” Enrichment Region Superintendent Lewis Ferebee told the Guilford County Board of Education recently. Ferebee supervises and guides the performance of nine schools, including three in High Point: Montlieu Math and Science Academy, Welborn Academy of Science and

Busing vote creates unrest RALEIGH (AP) – Police arrested one person and removed a dozen others from a meeting as a school board in North Carolina’s capital city prepares to roll back a policy to bus students for diversity. A large group of youths sat outside the door of the overflow meeting and chanted loud enough to briefly disrupt Tuesday’s meeting. Police officers eventually removed one person and placed him in handcuffs. The board is hearing public comments before a final vote on whether to approve a new policy that focuses on placing students in schools near their homes.

Armed man storms into license, patrol office MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

SHELBY – Todd Allen, 45, of Clover, S.C., is charged with assault with a deadly weapon, resisting a public officer, assault by pointing a gun, possession with a weapon on state property, armed to the terror of the public and reckless and careless driving, according to the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office Web site. His bond is set at $10,000 secured. Officials said an armed man stormed into the Shelby driver’s license and Highway Patrol office on Dixon Boulevard after chasing another man inside. Troopers said both men had been involved in an earlier wreck sometime after 8:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Moss Lake exit off U.S. 74. Both men’s pickups collided, and both got out of their vehicles. One man said the gunman pulled a pistol on him, and he jumped back into his truck and headed to the Highway Patrol office in Shelby. The second man pursued him into the office, which also houses the driver’s license office. Both men went into the lobby, the one man still armed with the handgun, and a commotion ensued. Troopers tased the armed man and took him into custody.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – New Orleans blues and gospel singer Marva Wright died Tuesday at age 62, her former manager said. Adam Shipley confirmed that Wright died of complications from a stroke she suffered last year. She sang traditional jazz and gospel standards but was better known for sultry, sometimes bawdy blues songs. Among her best known songs were “Heartbreakin’ Woman” and “Mama, He Treats Your Daughter Mean.” She released a series of albums on local and international record labels, and frequently performed in Europe and at blues festivals around the country. With her band, the BMWs, she drew large crowds for performances at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. As a child, Wright listened to her mother sing and play piano at church.

Court hears â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fatal Visionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; appeal after 40 years RICHMOND, Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lawyers for a former Army doctor convicted of murdering his pregnant wife and two daughters argued Tuesday that new DNA evidence and a witness statement show heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innocent of the grisly crime 40 years ago that spawned the book and television miniseries â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fatal Vision.â&#x20AC;? Jeffrey MacDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorneys told the federal appeals court that the evidence, including a federal marshalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim that a prosecutor in North Carolina threatened a key witness, support his assertion that four drugcrazed hippies killed his family. Federal prosecutors argued the DNA test results cannot be considered by the appeals court at this time, that the threat claim lacks merit and

that MacDonald is rehashing a lot of old evidence from previous unsucMacDonald cessful appeals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At some point the litigation in this case must come to an end,â&#x20AC;? Justice Department lawyer John De Pue told a three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The panel is expected to decide within a few weeks whether MacDonald should get a new trial. MacDonald is serving three life terms at the federal penitentiary in Cumberland, Md., for the 1970 slayings of his wife Colette and daughters Kimberley, 5, and Kristen, 2, at their Fort Bragg home. The killings

shocked a nation still reeling from the Charles Manson murders six months earlier. In 2006, the appeals court ruled that MacDonald could seek a new trial based on retired Deputy U.S. Marshal Jim Brittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement that he heard prosecutor James Blackburn threaten witness Helena Stoeckley. MacDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, Joe Zeszotarski, said Stoeckley was prepared to testify she was in the MacDonald home the night of the murders until Blackburn threatened to charge her with the slayings. She later testified she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember where she was that night. Britt died in 2008, however, and Senior U.S. District Judge James C. Fox rejected MacDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid for a new trial two weeks later.

Study: Roads cost some NC motorists $1,300 a year RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big-city motorists are losing nearly on average the cost of a tank of gas every week to pay for their troubles from pot holes, longer waits in traffic and perilous roads. A national transportation research group released a report Tuesday estimating a driver in North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two largest urban areas loses $1,350 a year because of lost time and gasoline costs sitting in traffic, car repairs and accidents where roadway design likely contributed to a wreck.

The study by the Washington-based nonprofit group TRIP, based largely on federal highway and traffic safety data, may reinvigorate the discussion state transportation boosters want to persuade the Legislature to approve new ways to raise road construction funds. The state estimated years ago that it had a $65 billion funding gap through 2030 between projected transportation needs and the current funding sources to pay for them. But the General Assembly has lacked the

political will to dramatically narrow the shortfall. Significant road-funding changes donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear to be a high priority in May when lawmakers reconvene for a budgetadjusting session. â&#x20AC;&#x153;North Carolina is falling behind in maintaining its major roads, bridges and highways and the state lacks adequate funding with numerous projects that would greatly enhance economic development in the state,â&#x20AC;? TRIP executive director Will Wilkins said.

Judge wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t force district to hold prom JACKSON, Miss. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Mississippi school district violated a lesbian studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights by banning her from bringing her girlfriend to the prom, a federal judge ruled Tuesday, but he stopped short of forcing the district to hold the event. U.S. District Judge Glen H. Davidson denied an American Civil Liberties Union request for a preliminary injunction that would have forced the Itawamba County school district to sponsor the April 2 prom and allow Constance McMillen to escort her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo. Davidson did say he will hold a trial on the issue later.

Winfrey settles defamation suit PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lawyers for Oprah Winfrey say the talk show host has settled a Philadelphia defamation lawsuit filed by the ex-headmistress of her girls school in South Africa. The lawsuit by former headmistress Nomvuyo Mzamane claimed Winfrey defamed her in remarks made in the wake of a 2007 sexabuse scandal at the school. The headmistress said she had trouble finding a job after. A trial had been set to start next week.

Older women need 1-hour workouts to fend off flab CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rev up the treadmill: Sobering new research spells out just how much exercise women need to keep the flab off as they age â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot. At least an hour of moderate activity a day is needed for older women at a healthy weight who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dieting. For those who are already overweight â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most American women â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even more exercise is called for to avoid gaining weight without eating less, the

study results suggest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all have to work at it. If it were easy to be skinny, we would all be skinny,â&#x20AC;? said John Foreyt, a behavioral medicine expert who reviewed the study but wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t involved in the research. Brisk walking, leisurely bicycling and golfing are all examples of moderate exercise. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t throw in the towel if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do those things for at least an hour a day. Even a little exercise is good for your health.

Friends think womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bruises are from abuse

ear Abby: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a 27-year-old woman who is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;klutz,â&#x20AC;? which explains why I often have bruises on my legs and elbows. The other day, while lunching with friends I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen in a while, one of them brought up the subject of my bruises. (I had rolled up the sleeves of my blouse and was wearing a skirt.) I laughed and explained how I got them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; running off an elevator before the door had opened all the way, tripping while climbing some stairs, and crashing into the coffee table and nearly breaking my leg. My friends exchanged knowing looks and told me if I ever needed anything â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ANYthing at all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they were there for me and offered protection! It became obvious that they think my fiance caused the bruises. I explained that I am often in a hurry and accidentprone. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe me. They just nodded and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Uh-huh ...â&#x20AC;? I feel so humiliated. My fiance has never laid a finger on me. I have never had a healthier, more loving relationship, and it hurt that my friends think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a victim of domestic abuse. A birthday get-together is coming soon and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel comfortable going now. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m worried they may tell others what they â&#x20AC;&#x153;thinkâ&#x20AC;? may be going on behind closed doors. How do I set the record straight? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Just Clumsy in Amarillo

Dear Just Clumsy: You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t set the record straight by hiding out and ADVICE refusing to face them. Dear Doing so Abby will only â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; fuel their unfounded suspicions, so attend the party. And at the next girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lunch tell them, warmly, that you appreciate knowing theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll always be there for you, and if they ever need you for anything â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ANYthing at all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be there for them, too. Say it sweetly, with a smile, and above all, do not appear defensive. P.S. In the future, how about slowing down, trying to be more careful and watching where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going? One of these days you could seriously hurt yourself. Dear Abby: I have a horrible secret. I have cheated on my husband with multiple strangers. I have tried to tell him I have an addiction, but he blows me off. When I first met him, I had been with two people. Since our wedding, I have lost count. I think about sex constantly and often arrange to meet men anonymously many times during the week. I have tried to stop, but I just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to. Believe me, I have tried. I have attempted to talk to my husband about this

so he will listen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid to estimate how many times I have cheated because I fear he will leave me. Please help me. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Stop Down South Dear Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Stop: At this point the only thing worse than telling your husband whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been going on would be not to. People who engage in anonymous sex can carry all kinds of STDs, and you have exposed not only yourself but him to them. You both should see a doctor and be tested immediately â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and if you love him, you will give him that important message. There is an organization that may be able to help you regain control of your life. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sexaholics Anonymous. It originated in 1979 and is based on the same principles as Alcoholics Anonymous. Its Web site is www. sa.org and the e-mail address of the Sexaholics Anonymous International Central Office is saico(at)sa.org. Please contact them ASAP because they will take you seriously, nothing will shock them, and they may be able to help you break the news to your husband in a way that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end your marriage.

She finally finds home in N.C.

hen Marta Morales Berrios was 17, she wanted to attend college. Due to the political unrest in her homeland of El Salvador, however, all universities were closed. Undeterred, Berrios obtained admission to a university in San Francisco. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mother would not let me go. She was in San Francisco in 1970, and she said that young people were smoking marijuana and walking in the streets ABOVE naked. She said that the AND U.S. is an BEYOND evil place for kids,â&#x20AC;? Patty Jo Berrios said. Sawvel That â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; certainly was very different from the life Berrios lived as she was growing up. Berrios was raised in the capital city, San Salvador, by a retired father who played in the philharmonic and a mother who owned a very successful sewing company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to run the streets. After school, I stayed home and learned how to work. When I was 12, I had my own sewing company and bought my own clothes and school books,â&#x20AC;? Berrios said. In addition to training the bodies, Berriosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mother trained the hearts of her two children. When the pre-teen children stole money, their mom held their hands to the hot stove. They never stole again. To teach them to count their blessing, she sent them to a coffee farm for two weeks every year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the farm, we had no lights or running water, and I slept in a room with four other females. When I got home, I really appreciated everything my parents provided,â&#x20AC;? Berrios said. By 1980, El Salvador had changed. Political unrest turned to civil war. Berrios, now married to Oscar Berrios, had three small children: Christina, Oscar and Saul. By 1984, the war had reached the capital. The most compelling evidence that El Salvador was no longer safe happened after Oscar Berrios spoke out against these atrocities. The army ransacked his auto body shop, shot up his house and warned him to leave. Using â&#x20AC;&#x153;coyotesâ&#x20AC;? (people paid to smuggle illegal immigrants), the family escaped to San Francisco. The Berrios family discovered that they liked the United States. They raised their children in California and New York, before moving to Kernersville. Though the war in El Salvador ended in 1992, the aftermath of killing thousands of parents and putting guns in the hands of thousands of child-soldiers caused a dangerous spread of maras (gangs). Berrios has no desire to return. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made my life here,â&#x20AC;? Berrios said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met wonderful people in California, New York and North Carolina. This is my home now.â&#x20AC;? PATTY JO SAWVEL is a freelance writer from Kernersville.

GARFIELD

Medicine can shrink prostate

ear Dr. Donohue: I am 83 years old and have an enlarged prostate gland. My urologist suggested I take a medicine called Proscar to shrink the gland. Have you heard of any good results from it? – N.C.

BLONDIE

I know many men who sing the praises of Proscar. The prostate is a small gland, about the size of peach pit, that causes quite a few men big troubles. It wraps around the urethra (you-REE-thruh), the tube that drains urine from the bladder to the outside world. Around age 55, the prostate begins to enlarge. By age 60, 50 percent of men have a large gland. By 80, 90 percent do. Not all large glands demand treatment, only those causing symptoms. The primary symptom is frequent urination, including nighttime trips to the bathroom. The enlarged gland makes it impossible for all urine in the bladder to be emptied on one voiding. The bladder refills quickly, and another signal reaches a man’s brain demanding he relieve himself again. The male hormone testosterone is primarily responsible for prostate growth. Even though older ages diminish testosterone production, production remains sufficient to cause gland enlargement. Proscar and Avodart are two medicines that decrease the amount of circulating testosterone and so shrink the gland. The effect takes months before results are seen.

Many experts believe these medicines bring a second benefit: They might discourage HEALTH the growth of prostate Dr. Paul cancer. Donohue A second ■■■ group of drugs has a different action that also relieves the symptoms of frequent urination. These medicines don’t shrink the gland; they relax the prostate’s chokehold on the urethra so the bladder can empty completely. Their names are Flomax, Hytrin, Uroxatral and Rapaflo. They work within days to weeks after starting. Sometimes the two classes of drugs are used in combination, but if one medicine works, so much the better. Dear Dr. Donohue: I had a bottle of quinine tablets issued to me six years ago for painful leg cramps. When I asked my physician for a new prescription, I was told the medicine has been taken off the market. Can you explain the reason? The best my doctor has for me now is a suggestion to take tonic water. Anyone knows that isn’t a sufficient remedy. – C.B. Quinine has been removed from drugstore shelves because the Food and Drug Administration judged that its possible side effects didn’t justify its use for leg cramps. Those side effects include things like nausea, dizzi-

ness, vision disturbances, diarrhea, deafness, heartbeat abnormalities, a drop in blood platelets (the blood-clotting cells) and even death. Quinine is available by prescription for the treatment of malaria. Malaria is a life-threatening infection, and the use of quinine for it is an acceptable risk. Dear Dr. Donohue: I was told that drinking a glass or two of tonic water with quinine in it is good for leg cramps. Is it OK to drink this, especially at night, when my leg cramps start? I don’t drink it every day. – Anon. Tonic water has some quinine in it, but not enough to cause the side effects that prompted removal of quinine from over-the-counter distribution. You are not overdosing. Stretching the calves is another way of preventing cramps. Stand on the bottom step of a stairway, with your heels projecting over the step. Lower your heels as far as you can, and then rise up on your toes. Repeat at least five times, and do the exercise three times a day, once before retiring. Work up to 10 consecutive rises. Have something to hang on to in order to prevent a fall. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Pretzel bread bakes in the oven to be made into sandwiches at Hannah’s Bretzel in Chicago. Baking experts say pretzel bread, a cousin of the ubiquitously popular crispy, salted snack, is growing in popularity, popping up on menus and in sandwich orders from California bakeries to New York restaurants.

And do the twist Pretzel bread popping up at restaurants, bakeries BY CARYN ROUSSEAU ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

HICAGO – The smell of freshly baked bread wafts through Hannah’s Bretzel, a downtown restaurant where the ovens are lined with rows of pretzel bread loaves that are sold on their own and used to make sandwiches filled with hams, cheeses and other gourmet ingredients. “It’s just soft and salty,” says customer Stephanie Klein, who ordered an Italian Parma ham sandwich on the bread during a recent lunch hour and visits about three times a month. “I’m big on a soft, good tasting bread.” Twist this: Baking experts say pretzel bread – a cousin of the ubiquitously popular crispy, salted snack – is growing in popularity, popping up on menus and in sandwich orders from California bakeries to New York restaurants. The centuries-old chewy German bread with its doughy consistency and salted crust is “almost in that trend phase where you’re seeing it almost everywhere,” said Tom Vaccaro, senior director of baking and pastries at the Culinary Institute of America, where pretzels are taught in classes. “It offers a lot of flavor components when you eat it,” Vaccaro said. “For a lot of people it’s in that comfort food zone, meaning a lot of people as children, as kids went to fairs, went to baseball games, football games, where you had pretzels for sale.” So it wouldn’t be that much of a jump for customers to order a pretzel bread sandwich, said Peter Reinhart, baking instructor at Johnson and Wales University in Charlotte, N.C. “It’s not something that’s so out of the box that no one’s heard of it,” Reinhart said. “We know that pretzel goes well with mustard, so it makes a good base for a sandwich.” Florian Pfahler started Hannah’s Bretzel (he says in his native Germany pretzel is spelled with a “b”) in 2004 and has two Chicago locations, with plans for more. His goal is to bring pretzel bread from Germany to the United States and says he has earned a loyal following. “What I hear time and again is, ‘This is a tasty sandwich,’” Pfahler said. “The pretzel bread tastes so good.” The restaurant also offers bragels (pretzel bagels) for morning sandwiches, pretzel-shaped pretzel bread and mini baguette-shaped pretzel bread for sandwiches. Pretzel bread baking has been taken to the artisanal level at Prime Meats and Cafe Pedlar, both in Brooklyn, N.Y., where co-owner and co-chef Frank

Hannah’s Bretzel: www.hannahsbretzel. com Rockenwagner Bakery: www.rocken wagner.com/ Prime Meats: www.frankspm.com/ Cafe Pedlar: www.cafepedlar.com/ Castronovo says they use a family recipe from his wife’s father. Cafe Pedlar offers pretzel braids, twists and knots. Diners can order a German white sausage served with a pretzel roll at Prime Meats. “The recipe has gotten mass-produced, manufactured and it came very far away from its true beginnings,” Castronovo said. “We’re doing them the way they were meant to be made.” Across the country in California, Hans Rockenwagner sells pretzel baguettes and rolls along with burgers and sandwiches made on pretzel breads at his bakeries and cafes in Los Angeles, Santa Monica and Venice. “If it’s something you can do with pretzel bread, we do it,” Rockenwagner says. Customers are familiar with pretzels, but pretzel bread can be exotic, Rockenwagner said. His bakeries sell pretzel bread sandwiches with ingredients such as cranberry sauce and turkey breast, ham with provolone and salami with parmesan, tomato, arugula and mustard.

“It’s the earthiness, the softness and the chewiness of the pretzel,” Rockenwagner said. “It can hold up to all those flavors without getting lost or too soggy or overpowering.” National restaurant chains have taken notice, too. Pretzel bread is featured on the menu at more than 1,000 Blimpie restaurants in the United States as part of a turkey, bacon and cheddar sandwich, but customers can request any sandwich on the pretzel bread. “It has been a raving success,” said Kate Unger, vice president of marketing for Blimpie. “We know once we get that product into our customers’ hands we can win them over.” Corner Bakery Cafe, a restaurant chain based in Dallas, has had pretzel bread on the menu since the early 1990s and currently serves it as ham and turkey sandwiches, said Ric Scicchitano, the restaurant’s senior vice president of food and beverage. He calls it a signature item. “Anytime you want to grab a bun to make a sandwich, or a hoagie roll, pretzel bread nine times out of 10 is a great option,” Scicchitano said. Pretzel bread also has an appeal for diners looking for something different, said Vaccaro, with the Culinary Institute of America. “This is one of those breads that has a great crumb and texture and a great flavor,” he said. “It has all the great parts you’re looking for when you’re looking for a great bread.”

“My wife and I have mastered the art of compromise,” a club player told me sourly. “Our system is simple: I admit I’m wrong, and she agrees.” My friend was East, and his wife led the king of spades against South’s slam. “I played the deuce to show an odd number of spades,” he told me. “She shifted to a club – and South claimed. If my wife leads her second high spade, South must ruff, and I have more trumps than he does. “I asked my wife why she hadn’t continued spades. She asked me why I hadn’t signaled high. We compromised by agreeing that the whole thing was my fault.”

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 8 H A Q J 10 3 D A K Q 3 C K 7 4. You open one heart, and your partner bids one spade. The opponents pass. What do you say?

FIRST TRICK I’m afraid it was. East’s play at Trick One should show “attitude” (whether he wants more spades led), not “count.” East knew the slam would fail if he could get West to lead the second high spade. From West’s point of view, South might have had 8, A Q J 10 5 4, A K Q 3, J 4, and to lead the ace would give up the 12th trick. Principle: The purpose of a signal is to direct the defense.

This is a learning year that must be handled with willpower, integrity and the desire to bring about much- needed changes. Take opportunities seriously. Money, property and doing what’s required of you will all play a role. Your numbers are 3, 6, 13, 22, 27, 36, 43 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Money and home are highlighted. You can buy or sell property or enhance your assets. You may have to cut your losses but you will still come out ahead of the game and be well-positioned for future opportunities. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Travel, seminars or conferences will all pay off in the end. Utilize what you have to offer by presenting, promoting and networking with the people who can incorporate your expertise into their daily routine and budget. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Nothing will be secure or stable. You are in a good position but must protect what you want and what you have. Don’t be unnerved by anyone who talks big or is trying to push you. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You will have to size things up before you make a move or create any friction with anyone at home or at work. A critical, negative attitude will be your downfall. Focus on work and how much you can accomplish on your own. An added responsibility can be expected. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Focus on what you have to offer and what you can get in return. A little creative accounting will help you save money later. An investment, settlement, rebate, gift or win is apparent and must be taken advantage of. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You know what you have to do to keep things running smoothly. Don’t let anyone who intrigues you cause a financial setback for you. A change in a partnership now will lead to greater leverage in the future. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Nothing will go according to plan but it will be an exciting time to make creative, personal alterations to your life. Don’t let emotions lead you off-target. Know what you want and what you can offer. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t be afraid to present what you have to offer. You will be well-received, no matter what you do, so take advantage of every opportunity. A trip to see someone who can offer you suggestions or introductions will change the way you think and do things. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Love is in the stars and will leave you with mixed feelings about your past, present and future. Don’t let uncertainties cause you to make a mistake. Finish one thing before you move on to another. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Consider your personal and professional options regarding partnerships. Some of the people in your life may be leaning on you too much and need a reminder to back off. Problems with friends, relatives and neighbors must be dealt with promptly. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put in extra hours or look for a new position with more to offer you. A high-energy approach to projects will lead to an enticing partnership. An emotional issue with someone from your past should be cleared up. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The more you interact with others, the more you will learn and the easier it will be to get the help you want. Don’t limit what you can do because someone is putting restrictions on you. Fight for your rights. ★★★★★

ECU’s Roller sinks HPU baseball ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GREENVILLE – Former Thomasville HiToms star Kyle Roller hit a two-run double in the bottom of the eighth inning Tuesday night to spark East Carolina to a 7-5 win over High Point University. Jaime Schultz suffered the loss for the Panthers after entering in the sixth inning and allowing just five hits to go with two walks and five strikeouts. Mike Caldwell started for HPU and allowed five runs on six hits with four walks and no strikeouts before exiting the contest. The Panthers trailed

3-1 entering the fifth inning before scoring three times. Andrew Bartlett walked off Joseph Hughes, who then saw the bases loaded after singles to Pablo Rosario and Murray White IV. Nate Roberts followed with an RBI single, Rosario scored on a wild pitch and Matt Gantner plated White with a sacrifice fly. HPU got one run home in the ninth on Robbie Gilles’ RBI pinch-hit double after a Gantner walk. ECU improved to 11-8 for the year. The Panthers dropped to 13-7 entering today’s 6 p.m. home game against ACC opponent Wake Forest.

sively and reboundingwise, to do that.” The seniors – Jon Scheyer, Brian Zoubek and Lance Thomas – have been systematic through their careers, taking incremental steps deeper into the bracket since going oneand-done as freshmen in 2007. They won one tournament game in ’08 and two last year to bring them to the spot where three Duke seasons have ended since that most recent Final Four run in 2004, their 10th march to the national semifinals under Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski. “We want to have a chance at a Final Four (and) play for a national championship. No matter what, if it was that easy, then everybody would do it all the time,” Krzyzewski said. “You’ve just got to keep knocking at the door. You have to keep striving to get there, and once you’re there, you hope to open the door and you’re allowed to come in.”

Jim Ledwell really knows how to bowl ‘em over in spectacular fashion. The 81-yearold Ledwell came within one pin of a perfect game while bowling in the Classic Senior League at High Point Bowling Center on Tuesday, March 16. Ledwell bowled nine consecutive strikes to reach the 10th frame flirting with perfection. He struck cleanly on his 10th and 11th tosses, then left a single pin standing on his final attempt to finish at 299. Ledwell followed up his near-300 masterpiece with stellar games of 280 and 246 for an 825 series.

obby Vinton scored a big hit with his 1964 classic “Mr. Lonely.” I share that musical memory because it’s getting pretty lonely for the Atlantic Coast Conference in this year’s NCAA Tournament. ACC commissioner John Swofford may feel more like “Mr. Blue” as he surveys the Sweet 16 lineup this season. Only Duke remains from the ACC’s six NCAA invitees. The conference has the same number of teams remaining as the Atlantic 10 (Xavier), Horizon League (Butler), Ivy League (Cor-

and by a spate of statistics indicating the coin toss had become too prominent in determining OT winners. Minnesota lost last season’s NFC championship game in overtime to New Orleans. The Saints won the toss, drove downfield and kicked a field goal to win. “Modified sudden death is an opportunity to make a pretty good

rule ... even better,” said Atlanta Falcons president Rich McKay, co-chairman of the competition committee. “Statistically, it needed to change. It wasn’t producing the ’fairest result.”’ Those statistics showed that since 1994, the team that won the overtime coin toss won the game on the first possession 34 percent of the time.

Duke looks to get through round of 16 DURHAM (AP) – Duke can forget the Final Four – at least, for now. The No. 1 seeded Blue Devils (31-5) haven’t even reached the round of eight since 2004, so if they do advance, it would mark the latest measure of progress for a one-step-at-a-time senior class. That’s why they insist their focus is solely on fourth-seeded Purdue – and not their seemingly inevitable trip to Indianapolis for the Final Four – as they prepare for their South Regional semifinal Friday night in Houston. The winner faces the Saint Mary’sBaylor winner on Sunday in the regional final. “This year, we’re only thinking about this year,” guard Nolan Smith said Tuesday. “We’re not focused at all on the past. The fact that we have guys that went to the (round of) 16 last year and knowing that’s where we lost last year, we’re ready to go past that. We’re doing what we’ve got to do, defen-

nell), Missouri Valley (Northern Iowa), Pac10 (Washington) and West Coast Conference (Saint Mary’s). Granted, four of the six ACC teams posted first-round victories (Duke, Wake Forest, Maryland, Georgia Tech). Two of the secondround losers – Maryland and Georgia Tech – battled their foes to the wire. And the ACC has some company when it comes to power conferences suffering firstand second-round power outages. The Big East began with eight teams. Only Syracuse and West Virginia remain. The Big

East’s biggest losers included third-seeded Georgetown in round one, plus second-seeded Villanova and third-seeded Pittsburgh in round two. The Big Ten leads all conferences with three Sweet 16 teams. Duke will face one of those teams – Purdue – in Friday’s South Regional semifinal in Houston. We’ll see if the Blue Devils can give the ACC at least one Elite Eight participant for the 28th time in the last 30 seasons.

Bobcats set win record with No. 36

Drivers give favorable reviews to spoiler

WASHINGTON (AP) – Gerald Wallace had 17 points, 19 rebounds and got two opponents to foul out in overtime and the Charlotte Bobcats set a franchise record for victories Tuesday night with a 95-86 win over the Washington Wizards. The win was No. 36 on the season for Charlotte, one more than the previous high set last season, and advanced the team a step closer to the first playoff berth in franchise history.

CONCORD (AP) – NASCAR received favorable driver reviews about the switch from a wing to the traditional spoiler. NASCAR opened a rare two-day test session Tuesday at Charlotte Motor Speedway for teams to get their first extended track time with the spoiler, which will return to competition for the first time since 2007 at this weekend’s race at Martinsville Speedway. “It was a very important day for us, and I felt like it went really well,” said four-time series champion Jeff Gordon. “I liked the way the cars looked with the spoiler, and the cars drove really well. All in all, it was a great day for us and we certainly gathered a lot of data.” The rear wing was a component of NASCAR’s current model of race car that was phased into competition in 2007. Fans disliked the look of it, and drivers listed it among their dislikes of the car. “We had reasons to go to the wing.

Lightning strikes Canes in OT TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – Martin St. Louis scored his second goal of the game 29 seconds into overtime and the Tampa Bay Lightning stopped a five-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over Carolina.

Tusculum women fall to Gannon ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Gannon edged Tusculum 7066 in the NCAA Division II national quarterfinals on Tuesday night. Tusculum, coached by High Point’s Adell Harris, finished the season with a 23-10 record. Gannon improved to 37-0. In other quarterfinals, it was Fort Lewis 68, Seattle Pacific 59; and Franklin Pierce 77, Arkansas Tech 62.

Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt has been given permission to interview for the vacant job at St. John’s.

St. John’s receives permission to interview Jackets’ Hewitt ATLANTA (AP) – Georgia Tech has granted permission for St. John’s to interview Yellow Jackets coach Paul Hewitt. Georgia Tech associate athletic director Wayne Hogan said St. John’s was given the OK on Tuesday to speak with Hewitt. Hogan said he did not know when the interview will take place. Hewitt, who is from

New York, coached Georgia Tech to the second round of the NCAA tournament. Hewitt has guided Georgia Tech to five NCAA tournaments, including the 2004 Final Four, in his 10 seasons. His New York background and NCAA experience match St. John’s athletic director Chris Monasch’s stated criteria for a new coach.

Ex-Tar Heel Lebo takes reins at ECU GREENVILLE (AP) – New East Carolina coach Jeff Lebo is promising the long-struggling men’s basketball program can be successful with time. The school held a news

conference Tuesday afternoon for Lebo, the former Auburn coach who is taking over a program that hasn’t had a winning season in 13 years. He’ll work for A.D. Terry Holland.

Virginia’s Landesberg leaves school CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) – Virginia’s suspended leading scorer Sylven Landesberg is leaving school to pursue a professional career. Coach Tony Bennett said Tuesday that Landesberg won’t complete the current semester. Earlier this month the sophomore guard was suspended for the rest of the season for failing to meet his aca-

demic obligations. “I have discussed Sylven’s future with the Landesberg family and been informed that he will be leaving the University of Virginia to pursue his professional aspirations,” Bennett said. Landesberg was the ACC’s top rookie last season. He led Virginia this season with averages of 17.3 points and 2.9 assists.

Some of those might not have panned out, “ said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR’s vice president for competition. “Quite frankly, no one really warmed up to it. They didn’t like it, they didn’t like the appearance of it. They didn’t embrace it.” NASCAR decided during the offseason to go back to the spoiler, partly in a hope that it improves competition. Martinsville, the sixth race of the season, was the earliest the change could be made because of all the planning involved in such a technical change to a race car. Dale Earnhardt Jr. believes switching back to the spoiler, which was last used in the 2007 finale at Homestead, will be beneficial to most drivers because they have vast experience with it. “The racing really should look about the same, and I think the races have been pretty good this year. If anything, it definitely will not hurt it,” Earnhardt said.

NASCAR moves closer to fuel injection CONCORD (AP) – NASCAR is still on target to move to fuel injection engines in 2011. NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton says teams have been given param-

eters to use when testing fuel injection. Pemberton says he’s expecting NASCAR to receive more data in the next month. Fuel injection is being explored in an ef-

fort to make stock cars more fuel efficient. The current cars have used carburetors since the 1980s, and the carburetor has little application to what is currently sold on showroom floors.

Earnhardt downplays Bristol radio rant CONCORD (AP) – Dale Earnhardt Jr. blamed his profanity-laced rant at Bristol Motor Speedway on frustration from a a speeding penalty. And being mad in the car, he figured, is a good thing. “You’re going to have days where you get a little hot on the radio and I haven’t really been hot on the radio in a long, long time,” Earnhardt said Tuesday during a test session at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Earnhardt, in the midst of a 62-race

winless streak, had just cracked the top five in Sunday’s race when NASCAR flagged him for speeding on pit road. He vented over his radio for several minutes, and snapped at crew chief Lance McGrew’s attempt to calm him down. Some die-hard listeners to Earnhardt’s in-race radio speculated that Earnhardt was angry over McGrew, who at one point urged Earnhardt not to “lay down” the rest of the race – instructions that infuriated NASCAR’s most popular driver.

Toyota will replace pedals WASHINGTON (AP) – Toyota has told dealers it will provide replacement accelerator pedals to owners who are unsatisfied with their repairs under the massive recall following dozens of complaints about the fix. The Japanese automaker said in a memo obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press that if a customer is unhappy with the feel of the accelerator after the car is repaired, dealers can provide a replacement pedal at no charge. Dealers have been inserting a piece of metal into the gas pedal mechanism to eliminate friction that was causing the pedal problem on more than 4 million vehicles involved in a January recall.

Companies to supply pneumonia vaccines NEW YORK – GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer Inc. made a 10-year commitment to supply developing nations with new pneumonia vaccines, the Geneva-based publicprivate partnership GAVI Alliance said Tuesday. GAVI’s program to treat pneumococcal disease received initial funding of $1.5 billion from the governments of Italy, the U.K., Canada, Russia, Norway and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Walgreen profit rises on prescriptions NEW YORK – Walgreen Co., the largest U.S. drugstore chain, said Tuesday that even while the flu season has tapered off dramatically, its profit rose 4.5 percent during its fiscal second quarter as its prescription drug sales rose. The steep and unanticipated drop-off in sales of flu shots and cough and cold products – as well as costs connected to store remodeling and inventory changes – dragged the results below Wall Street’s expectations.

FAA proposes fine against Northwest MINNEAPOLIS – The government wants to fine Northwest Airlines almost $1.5 million after it failed to inspect wires near the cockpit windows in some of its planes for 17 years.

“A replacement pedal should only be offered to a customer after the reinforcement bar has been installed and the customer has expressed dissatisfaction with the operation and/or feel of the pedal,” Toyota said in a memo to dealers, service manager and parts managers. The memo, dated February 2010, said the pedal replacement “is based upon specific customer request only. Dealers are not to solicit pedal replacement.” The memo was first reported by The New York Times. An AP analysis of government data found that more than 100 owners have complained to the government about problems with sudden acceleration after

Toyota dealers fixed their vehicles. Toyota has said it is confident in its repairs and has found no evidence of other problems, such as faulty electronics. Toyota has recalled more than 8 million vehicles globally over sticky pedals and accelerators that can become entrapped in floor mats, tarnishing the company’s safety reputation and leading to government investigations and congressional hearings. The memo addresses Toyota vehicles that were listed in the January recall. The vehicles include: the 2005-10 Avalon; 2007-10 Camry and Tundra; 200910 Corolla, Matrix and RAV4; 2008-10 Sequoia and 2010 Highlander.

Gift cards have grown in popularity – with more than 95 percent of Americans having received or purchased them, the Fed said. And as usage has gone up, so too have complaints from people taken by surprise by fees that eat into the value of the cards as well restrictions on how long they’ll be good for. Under the rules, consumers must have at least five years to use the gift cards before they expire. The Fed also says service or inactivity fees can be imposed only under certain conditions. Such fees can be charged if the consumer hasn’t used

the card for at least a year, if the consumer is given clear disclosures about them and no more than one fee is charged a month. The rules take effect Aug. 22. Congress ordered the Fed to issue the new protections under a law enacted last year. Sen. Charles Schumer, DN.Y., who championed the gift card crackdown in Congress, wants faster implementation of the rules. “Now that the new rules are finalized, we will work with the Fed to speed up the effective date rather than keep consumers at risk of being ripped off until next summer,” Schumer said. “These new rules will curb the abusive fees and early expiration dates that can drain gift cards of their value before they are ever even used.”

Existing home sales drop in February WASHINGTON (AP) – Sales of existing homes fell for a third straight month in February, pushing sales down to the lowest level since last July. There is concern the fragile housing rebound is faltering, making it harder for the overall economy to recover. The National Association of Realtors said Tuesday that sales of previously occupied homes dropped 0.6 percent in February to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.02 million. The weakness in sales depressed prices with the median home price drop-

ping almost 2 percent from a year ago to $165,100. Sales activity varied across the country. In the Midwest, sales jumped almost 3 percent, and were up more than 2 percent in the Northeast. In the South, sales fell about 1 percent, and were down almost 5 percent in the West. In fact, sales nationally have been declining since November, eroding gains made over the summer. The downward direction troubled economists because the government has taken unprecedented steps to support the housing sector.

Hope of rally boosts stocks NEW YORK (AP) – Investors are starting to believe that the stock market is on the verge of another big rally. The Dow Jones industrials rose almost 103 points Tuesday, their biggest gain in more than two weeks. The day’s economic news was tepid as the National Association of Realtors reported a drop in homes sales last month that wasn’t as steep as forecast. But analysts said many investors, after seeing the Dow at new highs for 2010, were afraid of missing out on further gains. The market’s continuing advance has been welcome but analysts are divided over whether stocks have run too far or if they have more to gain because of improvements in the economy. Even many traders who have doubts about how solid the advance is, expect it to continue until something pops the optimistic mood. “You can’t deny the trend. Definitely the trend is higher,” said Doreen Mogavero, president of brokerage Mogavero, Lee & Co. in New York. She said investors are optimistic about the health of corporate earnings for the January-March quarter. “Things seem to be moving along in the right direction. So to that end I think people are feeling better.”

Greece downplays IMF option ATHENS, Greece (AP) – Greece said Tuesday that the option of seeking help from the International Monetary Fund had been “put to one side” in the hope that fellow European countries will this week overcome a political stalemate and agree on support measures. Greece has in recent weeks warned it may ask the IMF for financial aid, which would be an embarassing setback for European political union, if it does not get any concrete support from EU leaders at a summit Thursday. IMF involvement has become a divisive issue, supported by a German government adamantly against giving money to Greece and opposed by EU officials who would like an internal solution. But on Tuesday, a Greek official played down the threat. “The IMF is one of many options which we have put to one side. We are in Europe, we want to stay there, and we will stay there,” government spokesman George Petalotis said. In Berlin, a German government official said several EU countries – supporting a tough line by Germany – now appeared to be unopposed to IMF involvement in providing financial support. The official asked not to be identified, citing no direct involvement in the issue.

Debate surrounds future of Fannie, Freddie WASHINGTON (AP) – Lawmakers are starting to wrestle with how to replace Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage giants that nearly collapsed at the start of the financial meltdown. In September 2008, the government seized control of Fannie and Freddie – massive companies that purchase home loans, package them into investments and guarantee them against default. Since then, the government has pumped a combined $126 billion into the companies to keep them afloat. House lawmakers on Tuesday took tentative steps toward figuring out what to do next, holding their first hearing about how to restructure the mortgage system in the wake of the financial crisis. For the time being, the market is still resting on three government pillars: Fannie, Freddie and the Federal Housing Administration. Last year, the two companies backed about 70 percent of all home loans, according to Inside Mortgage Finance, a trade publication. The duo also manage the Obama administration’s $75 billion loan modification program. Rep. Barney Frank, DMass., chairman of the House Financial Services

Committee, said there is consensus about replacing Fannie and Freddie, but little agreement on what should take their place. “You can’t really tear down the old jail until you’ve built a new one,” said Frank, who traded barbs with Republicans about who deserved more blame for the collapse of Fannie and Freddie. Since the government took over Fannie and Freddie, Obama officials have given few details on their long-term thinking. In the meantime, officials plan to seek public comment on a list of questions to be published next month. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said it should take several months to develop the administration’s plan. “We can start that process in earnest,” he told lawmakers. “I don’t see why this should take years.” Republicans, however, are impatient. They argued that the government’s push to expand homeownership through Fannie and Freddie was the main cause of the financial crisis and they want the government to unwind their investment as soon as possible. Rep. Spencer Bachus of Alabama, the committee’s senior Republican, called the Obama administra-

tion’s lack of action “unacceptable.” Nevertheless, powerful lobbying groups don’t want to rock the boat too hard. The National Association of Realtors is pushing to preserve Fannie and Freddie, but as nonprofit gov-

ernment authorities without private shareholders. “The disruption in the marketplace by doing something too radical would be harmful” to the housing market and the economy, Vince Malta, a San Francisco Realtor who
