HOLISTIC APPROACH: Senior Games boost body, mind and spirit. 1C

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A tornado reportedly touched down Sunday night in north High Point damaging more than a dozen homes as a wave of thunderstorms moved through the Triad for several hours. The American Red Cross reported that 16 homes in the Skeet Club Road area had been destroyed or damaged by 8 p.m. and 30 people had been driven out of their homes in two mobile home parks in David-

son County. There were no immediate injury reports. The National Weather Service confirmed three likely tornados Sunday in central North Carolina. As many as 2,300 customers in north High Point lost electric service, said Warren Larson, city customer service director. Power poles were down in the Johnson Street and Old Mill Road area and at Old Plank Road near the U.S. 311 Bypass. The storm also took down power lines at Kendall Road and Skeet Club Road.

Russell Schwarz of Innova Disc Golf designed Archdale’s disc golf course. “I don’t know if I’ve ever met anybody who is more passionate about their job,” Albertson said. “He just loves it. He can’t wait for the course to open. Archdale officials hope the disc golf course will become a new

Advocates for homeless boost ‘visibility’ BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A nonprofit organization that oversees efforts on behalf of homelessness across the county is stepping up its presence in High Point. Partners Ending Homelessness will relocate from its Jamestown office to the United Way of Greater High Point on Thursday. It also will establish an office at the United Way of Greater Greensboro. Representatives of the group said the move is aimed at raising greater public awareness of its mission

and highlighting the need for more coordination of homelessness services. “We wanted to increase our visibility,” said Jehan Benton-Clark, director of Partners Ending Homelessness. “We really thought it would behoove us to be in both locations and really capitalize on that partnership with United Way and all that they’ve done for us to this point.” The United of Greater High Point is donating office space and will handle the organization’s administrative operations, said President Bobby Smith. “That’s one way we can

help the organization and the cause,” Smith said. “We’re excited about it. It’s an issue that impacts a lot of our agencies.” One of the Partners Ending Homelessness’ tasks involves working to implement Guilford County’s Ten Year Plan to end chronic homelessness. A key component of the plan is enhancing partnerships with the business community, faith community, service providers and community members at large – something the relocation should address. “We really want to leverage those partnerships to get people who have not

tradtionally taken hold of this issue to really become involved,” Benton-Clark said. “We’re seeing new people who are willing to help because now they have a friend or family member who’s experienced this issue. It’s more close to home for a lot of people.” Smith said one way the United Way’s work will align with Partners Ending Homelessness is with the Housing First program, a component of the Ten Year Plan that moves chronically homeless into permanent housing that he called a major success. “What we’ve seen here is

that it’s a whole lot less expensive to house somebody in an apartment and bring the wrap-around services to them, as opposed to trying to put them in a shelter, where, because of their severe physical disabilities or substance abuse or mental health issues, they just don’t do well,” he said. “You think of taking somebody who’s lived under the bridge for most of their life and putting them in an apartment and having 90 percent of them get stabilized, that’s a pretty good success rate.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Violent storms do damage north of Charlotte

Temporary housing, such as this camp, has helped Haitian citizens survive following the Jan. 12 earthquake.

Local nonprofit extends reach to help Haiti ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – Though known for its works throughout the local community, the High Point Community Foundation has extended its reach to help those in desperate need abroad. Local Community Foundation donors, who wish to remain anonymous, contacted foundation President Paul Lessard last Saturday with what he describes as “an interesting challenge.” They told him that they would be willing to donate $75,000 to provide emergency relief to Hatian earthquake victims if he could find matching

money from other donors. “Opportunities like this do not come along very often, so I immediately started reviewing possible candidates for the match,” Lessard said. “By Monday morning I realized that we had a possible partner right here in North Carolina in the Samaritan’s Purse ministry, who I was sure would be one of the first to arrive in Haiti. I called that morning, and they agreed to drive down to meet with us to discuss the partnership.” Samaritan’s Purse, a ministry headquartered in Boone, is known for going to some of the most dangerous areas of the

NC investigators try to identify remains found ROCKY MOUNT (AP) – North Carolina investigators are trying to identify skeletal remains found in an area where the bodies of other Rocky Mount women were discovered. The Edgecombe County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release that the remains were found Saturday by people riding 4-wheelers. Police have charged 31-year-old Antwan Maurice Pittman with first-degree murder in the strangulation death of Taraha Shenice Nicholson. Nicholson’s body was found in the same area in March 2009.

world to bring desperately needed water, food and shelter to those in need. Lessard said they are particularly known for their logistical expertise and their ability to operate in what is usually very chaotic and dangerous environments, including work in hotspots like Indonesia following the deadly tsunami, in various African countries like Sudan that have been decimated by civil wars, and in some remote regions of the world like Mongolia and China. “We love to work with folks who are interested in partnering, sharing resources and acting with

a sense of urgency,” Lessard said. “Samaritan’s Purse is a very professional organization who has provided us with the latest information on the crisis including satellite photos and very detailed maps on which they showed us the extent of the damage as well as an overview on how they were moving their equipment and people into the country. “Both our staff and our donors have been absolutely impressed with their expertise and compassion – we are confident that this combined $150,000 gift will make a big difference in Haiti.”

Kenan gift to hire 18 professors MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

CHAPEL HILL – UNC has found a way around state budget limits that have made it hard to hire new professors: A $5 million private gift for just that purpose. The university has received that funding from the William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust which, along with another, $500,000 gift from an anonymous donor, will pay for 18 new junior faculty members. This is an area of emphasis for Chancellor Holden Thorp, who believes a university with a few bucks to spend right now can do quite

well in the job market. Hiring is so limited in academia that talented recent graduates toting doctorates are struggling to find work. “The downturn in the economy has created an extraordinary opportunity to hire the very best junior faculty in the country,” Thorp told campus trustees Thursday. “These are 18 positions we would not be able to offer if not for this generosity.” The money will be used immediately and will pay for 14 new faculty members in the College of Arts and Sciences, two in the Kenan-Flagler Business School, and one each in the schools of nursing and education.

In arts and sciences, the hiring will be spread across the sprectrum, from humanities and arts to social and hard sciences, said Karen Gil, that school’s dean. Some of the new hires will have expertise in global studies and environmental issues, two current areas of academic focus, Gil said. “There are a lot of really excellent Ph.D students finishing and looking for jobs,” Gil said. “I think we’ll be able to really strengthen some things we’re doing.” The $5.5 million will pay salary and benefits for the new hires for three years.

CHARLOTTE (AP) – A handful of people were reported injured by violent storms that ripped the metal roof off at least one building, damaged dozens of homes and knocked down countless trees between Charlotte and Greensboro Sunday night, officials said. National Weather Service meteorologist Gail Hartfield from the Raleigh office said there are initial reports of several injuries from the storms that blew through the Linwood area in southwestern Davidson County. She said 20 to 30 homes have been damaged in High Point and a dispatcher in Thomasville said she had gotten a report of at least one home on fire in that town. Hundreds of lightning strikes have been reported, as well as high winds, hail and heavy rain. Tornado watches and warnings were issued for several counties between Charlotte and Greensboro. WCNC-TV reported that a resident of a mobile home park in the Belmont-

Reported tornado causes damage in north High Point. 1A Mount Holly area was taken to a hospital after suffering a heart attack. Hartfield said eyewitnesses have spotted several tornadoes, though none has been confirmed. She said the weather service would send out a team today to investigate. The Charlotte Observer reported that much of the roof of the Parkdale Fiber Distribution Center in Belmont was blown off and ended up in trees, along with ribbons of yellow foam insulation. Trees were knocked down throughout the BelmontMount Holly area and elsewhere. Mitch Carmichael told the newspaper he was in his mobile home when he felt the structure shake and says he saw rotating clouds. He says it “sounded like a mini-Hugo,” referring to Hurricane Hugo that struck in 1989.

Man stabbed to death in Durham MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

DURHAM – Police on Saturday night were investigating a death after responding to a call at 7:15 p.m. on Rochelle Street off N.C. 98 – also known as Holloway Street, East of U.S. 70.

Duke police officers Larry Carter and Jeffrey Liberto were allegedly attacked by Dorsey, who allegedly tried to gain control of one of the officers’ firearms. Dorsey was shot and killed by the other officer.

Keesecker said Duchess has quite a sweet tooth and worked pretty hard to get to the fruit in the ice cake. Zoo officials say Duchess is the nation’s oldest captive Bornean orangutan, and is now 10 years older than the 40-year life expectancy of orangutans in the wild.

couldn’t talk about his case until it was resolved, but he did make reference to being a fugitive in his comments. “Just as soon as everything is settled up, maybe I’ll write a book on how it is to be a fugitive for 30 years and other things prior to that, and how it is to die in prison,� he said. Sparks is being held at the New Hanover County Jail and is charged with financial identity fraud, false pretense and being a fugitive. He said he had been living on a boat somewhere in South Carolina before he was arrested last week at a Wilmington Social Security office. He had applied for benefits to pay medical bills after suffering a heart attack about five months ago.

WILMINGTON (AP) – An accused fugitive who police say escaped while serving a 20-year prison sentence for drug trafficking claims he’s a man who died in Virginia nearly three decades ago. The man who North Carolina authorities say is Charles Sparks, 69, drove off from a Florida prison in a car he had been cleaning as part of an inmate work crew, the StarNews of Wilmington reported Sunday. However, the man told the newspaper during a jailhouse interview that he is William Bolyn Garrett of Danville, Va. Police and Garrett’s family say the man died in 1983 at age 43.

JOHN HOOD: Who is going to pay for Obamacare? TOMORROW

Opinion Page Editor: Vince Wheeler vwheeler@hpe.com (336) 888-3517

4A

Shoddy legal work likely added to housing crisis For the past seven weeks, I’ve been attempting to buy a home in the Golfcrest neighborhood of High Point, but so far the “closing” has been postponed four times (and counting). The latest cause: My attorney has caught the seller’s counterpart sleeping at the wheel. (And may have to wake him yet again!) Had my attorney not been alert, the sellers might have been in for a nasty surprise, and I might have wound up buying a home with a foggy title. It occurs to me that these sorts of shoddy, shenanigans passed-off by lazy, sloppy lenders, bankers, Realtors, regulators and attorneys were probably occurring all-the-time during the last two decades while no one was paying any attention to nor caring in the least what the outcomes would be. While it’s very annoying to have my real estate transaction consigned to indefinite limbo, it’s also reassuring to know that some of those professionals are now wide awake and taking realty seriously again. On the other hand it’s cautionary to find that in the shadows some of the same goofballs that got us in this mess continue to ply their trade wherever they can get away with it! DOUGLAS MICHAEL Greensboro

How about some revisions to the marathon? I know I didn’t read every detail published about the March 20 marathon, but I still have a couple of concerns I would like to be addressed about the planning and the route. As with the bicycle race before, mall entry is limited and it hurts the mall’s business. OK, so everyone likes to complain about the mall, and the event planners obviously followed the track of the previous race organizers and gave no consideration for our city’s main retail center. Again. How much money does the city of High Point earn for hosting this North Carolina Marathon, and who pays for all of the traffic control (or lack of) and checkpoints? I also wonder why more of our town’s historical districts are not on the route, such as historic Washington Drive. I’m sure with a little more planning

a race of this length could also be run south of the train tracks that divide our city. Why not consider running the race during the High Point Market and have the winners declared on the steps of City Hall downtown? I suppose it’s more important for the city to put on a good face for these racers than to schedule events in a way that they don’t interfere with commerce and traffic on the north end of town. Nothing I enjoy more than having a five-minute trip to Biscuitville becoming a 25-minute trek with 20 minutes sitting at perfectly operating traffic signals while our city’s finest coddle these “athletes” who are “competing” in the race. I suggest it’s time that the city go ahead and finance a huge grandstand for these highly profitable events that seem to keep finding their way into my neighborhood, and maybe one day I’ll become a fan of bicycle and foot-races, too.

Why the health care fuss about being ‘deemed’? I believe this nation needs good, affordable health care for all its citizens, regardless of economic status. With that being said, something caught my attention concerning the discussions of the issue. It seems our righteous Republican leaders were just beside themselves that the Democrats might use a procedure that would have made this bill law without voting on it. OMG, this was terrible, the

world would end as we know it. But I plainly remember Sir Richard Burr informing me in his third or fourth letter to the editor last year, in response to my original question – when did members of Congress become entitled to insurance benefits reserved for federal employees? Burr’s answer, “In 1959, we were deemed federal employees for insurance purposes.” In other words, it sounds like they didn’t vote for that either, but they sure took advantage of the benefit. Seems to me if it worked for them in 1959, it could have worked for the rest of the citizens of this country, today. CYNDI CARMICHAEL Trinity

doms. Does any other American out there care? Knowing we all are going to be under a socialist regime in the very near future. So far, we can’t worship as we please, no real freedom of speech, terrorists on our own soil, freedom to do as we wish in our own homes. Americans are losing our dream, and like robots we are going into complete government control with a smile on our faces. Please we must all unite as a nation, be careful who you vote for and know the real issues. Socialism is not pretty ... to be told where to live, what you can and cannot buy, having to carry papers of permission wherever you go; these are just a very few freedoms we will be giving up. God bless America and God bless you. GAIL HIGLEY Archdale

GOP would say don’t blame us for what we caused

H

i, boys and girls! As a public service, I’ve prepared the following statement for Republican leaders to use when some disgruntled opponent of health care reform injures somebody – or worse. Given recent reports of threats against Democratic lawmakers in the wake of the historic health care vote, that moment has come to feel inevitable. When it happens, don’t you want your favorite GOP lawmaker to be ready? You can ensure that he or she is simply by clipping this statement and mailing it to them. That way, when the time comes, all your lawmaker will have to do is circle the appropriate choices and fill in the blank! “We condemn, in the strongest terms, the recent bombing/stabbing/beating/shooting that wounded/killed Senator/Representative/President. There is no place in our democracy for that kind of thing and our party stands foursquare against those who would bring violence into political debate. We extend our best wishes/heartfelt condolences and join with other Americans in hoping the perpetrators of this heinous act will be swiftly caught and punished. “At the same time, we must also

reject the suggestion, made by some, that our behavior over the course of this long debate on health care somehow set the scene for this tragic inciOPINION dent which, as we have already said, Leonard we condemn. Pitts “Some have ■■■ contended that – through incidents like Rep. Joe Wilson’s outburst where he called the president a liar during a joint session of Congress, and the one where members of our party cheered hecklers in the public gallery during recent debate and that thing where Rep. Randy Neugebauer yelled ‘baby killer!’ and that comment by Rep. John Boehner that Rep. Steve Driehaus ‘may be a dead man’ because of his vote – we have contributed to a coarsening of political discourse that made this tragedy entirely predictable. This tragedy that we, of course, strongly, strongly condemn. “Some have gone so far as to suggest that the Tea Party patriots who have led the charge against the socialistic/communistic/tyrannical/satanic health

care bill are themselves a graver threat to the nation than the legislation they oppose. The Tea Partiers have been characterized as dangerous and intolerant extremists by people who have read their signs and listened to their rhetoric. “We object to this slander of these concerned Americans. Just because at least 10 representatives have reported death threats since the bill was passed and Rep. Dennis Cardoza says he’s been physically threatened, and vandals broke the door of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ office, and bricks have been thrown through the windows of other representatives’ offices and just because a tea party leader posted what he thought was Rep. Thomas Perriello’s home phone number and address with an invitation for Tea Party members to ‘drop by,’ and just because the information was actually for Perriello’s brother, Bo, who has four children at home, none older than 8, and just because somebody cut a gas line at that house, and just because police and the FBI are taking all these threats seriously and now there’s this latest bombing/stabbing/beating/shooting (that we strongly condemn), is no reason to cast aspersions upon the entire

Tea Party movement. “By attempting to focus the nation’s attention on all these isolated incidents, left-wing Democrats and their allies in the media seek to divert us from what should be the real story here. Namely, the fact that we in the Republican Party are working nonstop to repeal this monstrous/ disgusting/demonic/diabolical bill. To that end, we are pursuing all available legal challenges and procedural options. We are also inventing a time machine. “As this important work goes on, we are proud to have the able assistance of the patriotic Americans in the Tea Party movement. Some have suggested that the Republican Party, the party of Reagan and Lincoln, should be ashamed of its close affiliation with these patriots. “We reject that idea. Indeed, if our critics know nothing else about us after this long and rancorous debate, they should know this: “We have no shame.” LEONARD PITTS JR., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

Bombs kill 5 at house tied to Iraq candidate BAGHDAD (AP) – Several bombs exploded Sunday near a house linked to a prominent Sunni figure who ran in this month’s parliamentary elections in Iraq, killing five people and wounding 26 others, a police official said. The attack adds to fears of postelection violence as the bitter election rivals enter what are expected to be drawn out talks

on forming the next government that will rule Iraq as U.S. troops leave by the end of 2011. Sunday’s blasts took place in the town of Qaim, about 200 miles (320 kilometers) west of Baghdad and on the border with Syria, the police official said. The first bomb, planted at a house under construction, went off at 7 a.m. in a busy area of

Qaim. As onlookers gathered, four more bombs hidden in trash littered around the site detonated, causing the casualties. The official said the house belongs to a brother of Sheik Murdhi Muhammad al-Mahalawi, a Sunni candidate who ran on the Iraqiya list led by former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, the top vote-getter in the March 7 balloting.

the candidate’s brother, Turki. The family member, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of fears for personal safety, said two of al-Mahalawi’s cousins, who live next door, died in the blasts. The cousins were identified as brothers Yousif Radhi al-Mahalawi and Mohammed Radhi al-Mahalawi, both members of a minor Sunni party in Allawi’s coalition.

Neither al-Mahalawi’s brother nor any construction workers were at the site when the bombs went off, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to talk to the media. Initially, the official had said the house belonged to al-Mahalawi but later both he and a family member said it belonged to

Pakistani army kills 22 Taliban near border PARACHINAR, Pakistan – Pakistani troops repulsed a Taliban attack Sunday on an army base and bombed two militant hide-outs close to the Afghan border, killing 22 insurgents in a region where the army is pressing an offensive, a government official said. The fighting occurred in Orakzai tribal region where many militants are believed to have fled from a major operation in their former stronghold of South Waziristan.

He walked out of a loaned Brazilian helicopter emblazoned with the Red Cross logo and into the long embrace of his father and sister after being picked up in the jungle and flown to this provincial capital at the eastern foot of the Andes.

More than 7,000 protest crime wave in Mexico MONTERREY, Mexico – More than 7,000 people have gathered in the northern Mexico city of Monterrey to protest a wave of violence that has affected the country’s third largest city in recent weeks.

Russia eliminates 2 time zones MOSCOW – Russia’s president thought the country had too much time on its hands, so on Sunday he eliminated two of its 11 time zones.

Formerly, there was 10 hours’ difference.

President Barack Obama meets with Afghan President Hamid Karzai at the presidential palace in Kabul.

On surprise visit, Obama prods Afghans KABUL (AP) – On an Afghanistan trip shrouded in secrecy, President Barack Obama demanded accountability from the country’s leaders, greater vigilance against corruption and better governing as he widens America’s commitment to the 8-year-old war he inherited and then dramatically escalated. Obama said the U.S. would not quit in Afghanistan, but he made

clear that he’s looking for an end to direct involvement in the fight against Taliban and al-Qaida extremists. He drove that point home in meetings with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and his Cabinet in the capital, and in a speech before a cheering crowd of about 2,500 troops and civilians at Bagram Air Field north of Kabul. At least 945 members of the U.S. military have died in Afghani-

stan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan as a result of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001, according to an Associated Press count. The number of U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan has roughly doubled in the first three months of 2010 compared with the same period last year as Washington has added tens of thousands of additional soldiers to reverse the Taliban’s momentum.

Pope opens solemn Holy Week amid sex abuse crisis VATICAN CITY (AP) – Pope Benedict XVI opened Holy Week on Sunday amid one of the most serious crises facing the church in decades, with protesters in London demanding he resign and calls in Switzerland for a central registry for pedophile priests.

Benedict made no direct mention of the scandal in his Palm Sunday homily. But one of the prayers, recited in Portuguese during Mass, was “for the young and for those charged with educating them and protecting them.� Jesus Christ, Benedict said in his homily,

guides the faithful “toward the courage that doesn’t let us be intimidated by the chatting of dominant opinions, towards patience that supports others.� Palm Sunday commemorates Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem, and is the start of the church’s Holy Week.

Health care overhaul likely to strain doctor shortage WASHINGTON (AP) – Primary care physicians are in short supply in parts of the country, and the health overhaul that will bring millions more newly insured patients in the next few years promises extra strain. The new law goes beyond offering coverage to the uninsured, with steps to improve the quality of care for the average person and help keep us well instead of today’s seek-care-afteryou’re-sick culture. To

benefit, you’ll need a regular health provider. Yet recently published reports predict a shortfall of roughly 40,000 primary care doctors over the next decade. Provisions in the new law aim to start reversing that tide, from bonus payments for certain physicians to expanded community health centers that will pick up some of the slack. A growing movement to change how primary care is practiced may do more to help with the influx.

extra attention to those who need it most. “A lot of things can be done in the team fashion where you don’t need the patient to see the physician every three months,� says Dr. Sam Jones of Fairfax Family Practice Centers.

WASHINGTON (AP) – More than seven years ago, a suspected Afghan militant was brought to a compound near Kabul. The CIA called it the Salt Pit. He was found dead inside his chilly cell, Rahman exposed to the cold, on Nov. 20, 2002. The Salt Pit death was the only fatality known to have occurred inside the secret prison network the CIA operated abroad after the Sept. 11 attacks. Little has emerged about the Afghan’s death, which the Justice Department is investigating. The Associated Press has learned the dead man’s name, as well as new details about his capture in Pakistan and his imprisonment. The man was Gul Rahman, a suspected militant captured on Oct. 29, 2002, a U.S. official familiar with the case confirmed.

Planners focus on Core City BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The city’s planning and development department will continue to focus on several Core City projects in the coming fiscal year, according to its 2010-11 work program. Lee Burnette, director of the planning department, presented the work program to the Planning and Zoning Commission at its meeting Tuesday night. The program lists the Core City Tree Inventory and a Core City Neighborhood

Assessment as two of its current projects that will be continued into the next fiscal year. The planning department is submitting an application for a $12,000 grant to conduct the tree inventory, which could begin in September if the grant is awarded to the department, Burnette said at the meeting. The department will match the grant with $13,000 in time and services. “We believe we’ll have volunteer support from different community organizations in helping pro-

duce the tree inventory,” he said. “We’ll also use the (grant) money to appoint someone to oversee the project.” The project would focus on trees in the Core City area “to obtain locations, size, condition and types of trees to better manage and enhance the existing urban forest and to identify appropriate planting opportunities,” according to the work program documents. Burnette said the neighborhood assessment project will continue to evaluate neighborhoods in the

Core City, the city’s 11square mile urban core, in three categories: redevelopment, conservation or enhancement. “Redevelopment means there needs to be significant efforts made to bring in new uses or new property in that area,” he said. “Conservation means it’s mostly a stable neighborhood, but there may be some aspects that are unstable. It means we might want to catch it before it gets down to redevelopment.” He said the enhancement category consisted

of neighborhoods deemed as stable that needed some visual improvements, such as new trees or sidewalks. The projects beginning next fiscal year are the Annexation Report and Service Plan, which will determine any qualified areas considered for annexation, and the E. Kivett Drive Corridor Plan, which will assess the impact of the road-widening project and determine the desired land use for the area. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

New rehab, care facility opens in Jamestown BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

JAMESTOWN – Owners of the GrayBrier Nursing and Rehabilitation Facility in Archdale have opened another facility in Jamestown with a focus on recovery. A grand opening was held last week for the Shannon Gray Rehabilitation and Recovery Center, located at 2005 Shannon Gray Court. The 75,000-square-foot facility includes 150 beds and 1,700 square feet of therapy and rehabilitation space, the largest space of its kind in the state. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners gave the 150 beds to the facility last year after it was

decided that the non-profit Evergreens Senior Health Care system would close. The Shannon Gray center was given 57 beds from the Greensboro Evergreens facility and 93 from its High Point location. The new center is a licensed skill nursing center that will offer long-term care to seniors, but it also will serve as a rehabilitation center for in-patient and outpatient recovery for the baby boomer generation, said Dick Bennett, owner of the Shannon Court and GrayBrier facilities along with his wife, Sarah. “Middle-aged baby boomers like myself want to hear how we can get out of here and back to nor-

mal,” he said. “They don’t want to be in a nursing home. If you have the ability to go home, our staff here will focus on that.” Physical, occupational and speech therapy will be offered. The center will begin accepting new patients this week, he said. One of the center’s unique pieces of rehabilitation equipment is a hydrotherapy pool, or a pool with a treadmill on its floor. The buoyancy of the water is used for patients who are recovering from procedures like knee replacements, Bennett said, and wheelchairs can also be used in the pool. The center is one of two care facilities in the state to have the pool. Bennett said the idea of focusing

on recovery came to him when a friend, then in her mid-50s, was sent to a traditional nursing home after receiving a knee replacement. “The people there were all 20 to 40 years older than her,” he said. “It was the only place where she could get the therapy she needed, but I can’t tell you how terrible that stay was for her.” For that reason, Bennett said the facility will aim to serve the aging baby boomer generation with the rehab center in a way that will get them back to their normal lives. “This is what I would want if I had to go somewhere,” he said phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

GTCC program continues record growth ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

JAMESTOWN – Bill Eversole can remember when just nine students enrolled in Guilford Technical Community College’s Tech Prep program. He knew he needed to spread the message about how the program can help prepare students for modern technical jobs and four-year college programs, so Eversole became a familiar face on a circuit of 17 Guilford County schools where he passed out literature and made speeches about the program.

After nine years, the work has paid off. This year a record 287 students enrolled in the GTCC program, including 78 returning students for the twoyear program. Tech Prep offers training for jobs currently in demand, ranging from auto technology to dental technology and child care. “There are jobs available in Guilford County if a person has the right training,” said Eversole, GTCC’s director of workforce preparedness. “There is no other pro-

gram like this in the state done to the extent that we do it.” Some students will want to continue their education and get four-year degrees, said Eversole, who recently was inducted as an honorary member of the National Technical Honor Society at High Point Central High School. “We encourage students to come into the program and follow a natural transition into college level programs,” he said. “Most students take about three years to complete the two-

year program. Many of them have jobs and aren’t able to take a full load of classes.” Through a partnership with North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University and UNCGreensboro, Tech Prep students with associate degrees in applied science can transfer to four-year programs at those universities. Scholarships also can be a part of the deal. Among the 209 new students, 51 percent received financial aid and the remainder got scholarships, Eversole

Perdue in hot seat over campaign RALEIGH (AP) – Gov. Beverly Perdue has learned from a string of other Democrats that getting out in front of a campaign finance issue often avoids something more uncomfortable – getting out in front of television cameras to testify under oath. So her campaign has been trying what it calls a proactive effort to fix problems with committee reports it filed with the State Board of Elections. But that credibility is in danger of strain because Perdue has now announced campaign report adjustments four times since August. Three times she filed amended campaign reports to add a combined 31 previously unreported private flights valued at more than $25,000. And earlier this month, The Bev Perdue Committee gave up $48,000 in contributions after allegations surfaced nine donors may have been reimbursed by their employer for the donations, which would be illegal for a contributor. The adjustments allow Republicans to draw comparisons between Perdue and fellow Democrat former Gov. Mike Easley. State Republican Party Chairman Tom Fetzer said the board should take a similar hard-line approach with Perdue. Fetzer also raised questions last month about the donations Perdue ultimately forfeited.

Uncredited use of photos Man dies has woman ready to snap after tree

D

ear Abby: For the past several years, my husband’s sister-in-law, “Janine,� has used my photographs (with my permission) in calendars she has made as gifts to different family members. One year, I asked her if she would have one made for me since most of the photos in it were mine. Her answer: “No, make your own.� Last year, at a cousin’s wedding, Janine came up to me and told me to be sure to take some “good pictures� for HER calendar. I just about lost it! And for the current year’s calendar, she had her husband ask for 12 more photos. I feel Janine has been using me to give gifts with her name on them to other family members. I get none of the credit for having taken the pictures. It seems to me that she is stealing. What do you think? – “Developing� A Grudge In Kansas Dear “Developing�: I disagree that what your sister-in- law is doing is stealing, because by giving her the pictures with no conditional stipulation – in this case, being given the credit for having taken them – you are enabling her. And I “think� the time has come for you to insist that your name be on the pictures, or that she take her own photos for “her� calendar. Don’t you? Dear Abby: My boyfriend is 43 and I am 48. I admit he moved in very

3B

fast – a few weeks after he lost his job. After three months his mood began ADVICE to change. He tells me Dear he loves Abby me and I’m ■■■the greatest thing that ever happened to him, but I noticed he was becoming quiet and withdrawn. I texted him at work to ask if something was wrong, and he said “things� were on his mind. I asked was it me? He said no. When he came home I asked what was wrong, and he said things were happening too fast, that he wanted his own place and to move around as he wants to. I asked him if he sees me in his future, and he said, “Yes. Just bear with me and give me some time.� I need advice, Abby. I am so confused. I love him dearly. – Torn Apart In Tomball, Texas Dear Torn Apart: When a man tells you things have moved too quickly and he needs time and space, that is what you have to give him. He may care for you, but unless you give him the chance to miss the comforts you provide him, what you want won’t happen. And the harder you try to cling, the more it will drive him away. Dear Abby: My stepdaughter is being married for the first time to

the father of her two children. She is planning a large traditional wedding in which her father will give her away. She wants to include their children in the ceremony, too. Under the circumstances, wouldn’t a small wedding (without the long white dress and associated traditions) be more appropriate? My opinion has not been requested, nor would I ever provide it, but I am curious because I believe some of the older relatives in the family may be shocked. – Somewhat Shocked Myself In South Carolina Dear Somewhat: Unless the older relatives in the family have been living in seclusion, with no magazines, tabloids, television and the Internet, I’m sure they realize that in the last 40 years some of the old rules have been retired. Among them: restrictions against large church weddings for longtime cohabitating couples and white dresses for non-virgin brides. Should any of the old folks show signs of shock, offer a shoulder for them to lean on. But don’t be surprised if none of them is surprised at all.

The town was booming even though it was experiencing a cholera epidemic that would eventually kill about 10 percent of the population. On May 17 at 9 a.m., a fire alarm sounded because the paddlewheeled steamboat White Cloud was on fire. Volunteer firefighters responded quickly with nine hand engines and hose wagons, but the moorings holding the boat to the dock had burned through, allowing the boat to drift slowly down the Mississippi River. Drifting, the White Cloud ignited 22 other steamboats and several flatboats and barges. The flames jumped from the boats to the shore, turning four blocks of the waterfront into an inferno. The raging fire seemed on the verge of destroying all of the downtown area, as firefighters had labored to the point of exhaustion after battling the fire for more than eight hours. Firefighters realized they needed to take drastic measures to stop the raging blaze and save the waterfront. They decided to load six businesses in front of the rapidly advancing fire with black powder and detonate them in succession. While spreading gunpowder through the Phillips Music store, the last building chosen to be destroyed, a firefighter lost his life. Capt. Thomas B. Targee of Missouri Company No. 5 paid the ultimate price. This is the first known line-of-duty death in U.S. history. This was by far the most destructive fire St. Louis had ever experienced. The battle lasted more than 11 hours and caused the loss of three lives, 430 buildings, 23 steamboats and several other boats. It often seems to take great loss to create significant change. New building codes were instituted in St. Louis that required all new structures to be built of brick or stone, and a new water and sewage system was started to help reduce future occurrences of cholera. 24/7/365: You call; we respond.

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I would like information on diverticulosis. – Anon.

BLONDIE

Anon, you are a paragon of brevity. “Osis” means “full of.” A diverticulum is a peasize bulge. Diverticulosis, therefore, is a bunch of diverticula protruding from the outer wall of the colon. The diverticulum is actually the lining of the colon that has been forced through the colon’s muscular wall. Diverticulosis is common in the Western world because we eat so many refined grains. As a result, stools are dry and hard. The colon has to exert great pressure to push such undigested food through its length. That pressure is responsible for forcing bits of the colon lining through the colon wall and onto its outer surface as diverticula. Two-thirds of those over 65 have diverticulosis. Even though diverticulosis is so very common, it isn’t particularly troublesome. Most people with diverticulosis – 85 percent – are without any symptoms. “Itis” indicates inflammation. Diverticulitis consists of inflamed diverticula. It causes pain mostly on the lower-left side of the abdomen. Most diverticulitis patients have a fever, lose their appetite and are quite

ill. If symptoms are mild, diverticulitis can be treated at home. If they’re HEALTH severe, treatment Dr. Paul has to take Donohue place in the ■■■ hospital, where the colon can be rested with intravenous fluids and the inflammation treated with antibiotics. Prevention of both diverticulosis and diverticulitis is achieved by increasing fiber in the diet. Fiber is indigestible food, the stuff that holds on to water and keeps stools soft. Unrefined grains are sources of fiber, as are most fruits and vegetables. Psyllium is another fiber source, sold as Metamucil. In the past, warning diverticulosis patients not to eat seeds, corn, nuts and popcorn was the thing to do. They’re not the danger that they were thought to be, and these foods are no longer banned. Dear Dr. Donohue: My neurologist has advised me to have deep brain stimulation. I’m not familiar with it and would like some information. What does it entail? How successful is it? How bad should your

Parkinson’s symptoms be before having it done? I have had Parkinson’s for 21 years and am in good health otherwise. – J.S. The basic working of deep brain stimulation is similar to the working of a heart pacemaker. Through a small opening in the skull, a thin, insulated wire (the electrode) is passed to the target area of the brain, the area causing Parkinson’s symptoms. The electrode is then connected to a battery-operated stimulator, positioned under the skin of the chest below the collarbone. The stimulator is the size of a stopwatch. Electrical impulses pass from the stimulator via a wire to the electrode and then to the area of the brain causing signs and symptoms. Those electrical impulses suppress the errant nerve impulses generated by the brain. The procedure has a high success rate, and convalescence is rapid. It’s done when medicines are no longer effectively controlling the illness or when medicines are leading to disruptive side effects. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Senior Games promote mind, body, spirit BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – Even in a simple, friendly game of chair volleyball, played by a group of senior citizens, the competitive juices flow. But then, so do the smiles, and therein lies the beauty of the Senior Games, an athletic competition that promotes fun and friendship as much as it does final scores and fitness. “It’s kind of a holistic approach – body, mind and spirit – to staying fit,” says Calvin Vaughn, director of the Roy B. Culler Jr. Senior Center, which oversees the annual Greater High Point Senior Games. According to Vaughn, nearly 200 local seniors, ages 55 and up, are expected to participate in this year’s games, which will be held April 28 through May 21 at venues throughout High Point. Competition will range from team sports – such as basketball, softball and the aforementioned chair volleyball – to individual

sports, such as tennis, cycling, swimming, golf and archery. There’s also a Silver Arts division, in which seniors compete in such artistic categories as poetry, dance, singing, sculpture and woodcarving. There will even be a senior spelling bee. “There’s really something for everyone,” says Lois Vondergoltz, co-coordinator of the 2010 Greater High Point Senior Games. Participants must be 55 or older as of Dec. 31, 2010. “We have folks as young as 55 participating, and we’ve also had some as old as 90,” Vaughn says. To level the playing field, though, participants compete against others who are in their same age group. “People play within their age group in five-year increments (5559, 60-64, 65-69, etc.),” Vondergoltz explains. “So if you’re 60, you’re not playing with an 80-year-old. You’re playing with folks who are within five years of your age.” Registration is currently under

way for this year’s High Point games. The registration deadline for visual arts and heritage arts is April 13, while the deadline for sports, literary arts and performing arts is April 19. The games will officially begin on April 28 with opening ceremonies and a kick-off breakfast that will be held at the senior center. In addition, participants who register will receive a Senior Games T-shirt and will be eligible to attend free lunches at the senior center this Wednesday, April 7 and April 14, all at 11 a.m. The games will conclude May 21, and an awards banquet will be held May 25 at Centennial Station. According to Vaughn, first-, second- and third-place winners in athletics events will advance to compete in the North Carolina Senior Games this fall, and firstplace winners in the Silver Arts division will advance to the state games. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Health department helps keep records M

any of you may know that the Guilford County Department of Public Health provides prenatal care to ensure healthy births. And you may know our department keeps statistics related to the leading causes of death in our county. But you may not know anything about some of our record-keeping responsibilities – particularly what is termed vital records. State law requires that each county have a local registrar, which is the local health director. That person is responsible for the complete, accurate and timely registration of all births and deaths, including fetal deaths. Registrars also issue burial transit permits and disinterment/reinterment permits. The local registrar works with area funeral homes, the register of deeds office and the chief medical examiner’s office. Our department has two deputy registrars, one in High Point and one in Greensboro, who perform these duties. When there is a birth or

death, an original certificate is filed with the health department by the hospitals, physicians or funeral directors. Our department ensures FOR THE each certificate is completed corHEALTH rectly, according OF IT to vital records statutes and rules. Sue Once the record Wood is deemed correct ■■■ and complete, a copy is sent to the register of deeds office for official filing. Birth certificates are accepted for children over 5 days old and under 1 year old. Birth and death certificates should be filed at the health department within five days of the birth or death. These are then filed with the local register of deeds office. When a birth or death certificate is in the hands of the local health department, it is not public record. At this point, the information about the birth

or death is still protected by federal health information laws. That means individuals are not able to receive a copy from our office. You must wait until the document is filed in the register of deeds office. There is an exception for parents who have experienced a fetal death. Those certificates are filed only with the health department and state vital records office, in accordance with state law. Attention to detail is important in working with vital records. Birth certificates are used as proof of identity; for example, you need to provide a certified copy when applying for a passport. As you can imagine, an incorrect birth certificate could create a variety of serious problems for the individual. Death certificates are needed to help close an individual’s estate. An incorrect certificate could cause heartache and difficulty for the family of the deceased. To obtain a certified copy of your birth certificate, you should contact the register of deeds of-

fice in the county of your birth. Death certificates are filed in the register of deeds offices in the county where the death occurred. In Guilford County, there is an office in the courthouse at 505 E. Green Drive in High Point (845-7931) and in the county courthouse, 201 S. Eugene St. on the LG level in Greensboro (6417556). The register of deeds office is open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. A certified copy of a certificate costs $10, and you must present photo identification to obtain a copy. If you have questions about vital records, the state statutes or our work in this area, call the Department of Public Health at (336) 641-7777.

Avoid any sort of pressure situation. Activities that will help get you into shape will be your best recourse. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can expect to encounter unanticipated alterations due to responsibilities concerning children or elders. Treat your hobbies or sideline ventures as serious pastimes with the potential for profit.

Focus on love, romance and keeping the peace with the people who have the potential to change your status or financial situation. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Be careful how you spend your time. If you neglect someone or something important, you will end up with an emotional dilemma. Aggressive action is likely to lead to obstacles and limitations. Take one step at a time. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Job projects should be at the top of your list. Ask friends and family to keep an eye out for a position that might interest you. You will reach your goals if you send out resumes or talk to people you have worked with in the past. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll be faced with uncertainty when dealing with a partnership.

BRIDGE Attendance soared at last year’s American Contract Bridge League Fall Championships, held in San Diego. In the Life Master Women’s Pairs, winners Sue Picus and Shawn Quinn were today’s NorthSouth. West apparently wanted more to open two spades. East did open, but then Quinn-Picus raced into four hearts. East-West had judged correctly in the bidding; West would have been down at four spades, and best defense would have beaten Quinn’s game. After West led the king of spades to dummy’s ace, Quinn could have succeeded by drawing trumps, but that wasn’t clear. Instead she tried a club.

HOROSCOPE

ANSWER: A jump to three clubs is acceptable if you’re sure your partner will treat it as forcing. If he may think it’s only invitational (as many pairs agree) or if you’re not sure how he will treat it, force with a meaningless “fourth suit” bid of one spade or, if you want to play the notrump hog, bid 3NT. South dealer E-W 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.

‘Dragon’ breathes fire with $43.3M debut AT THE BOX OFFICE LOS ANGELES (AP) – “How to Train Your Dragon” breathed a bit of box-office fire with a $43.3 million opening weekend and a No. 1 debut, according to studio estimates Sunday. Distributed by Paramount, the DreamWorks Animation adventure came in well behind the studio’s last cartoon comedy, “Monsters vs. Aliens,” which opened with $59.3 million over the same weekend last year.

With strong reviews and enthusiastic responses from viewers in exit polls, DreamWorks expects “How to Train Your Dragon” to have more staying power than “Monsters vs. Aliens” in subsequent weekends, though. Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland,” which had been No. 1 the previous three weekends, slipped to second place with $17.3 million. It raised its domestic total to $293.1 million.

If the trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason, the sole remedy of the purchaser is the return of the deposit. Reasons of such inability to convey include, but are not limited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition prior to the confirmation of the sale and reinstatement of the loan without knowledge of the trustee. If the validity of the sale is challenged by any party, the trustee, in their sole discretion, if they believe the challenge to have merit, may request the court to declare the sale to be void and return the deposit. The purchaser will have no further remedy.

Duke advances – ‘Bear’ly Smith sparks Blue Devils past Baylor, into Final Four

AP

Duke’s Nolan Smith (2) and teammates celebrate after the Blue Devils defeated Baylor 78-71 in the NCAA South Regional final in Houston on Sunday. Smith finished with 29 points to power the Blue Devils into the Final Four.

HOUSTON (AP) – Look who’s back in the Final Four. Duke restored some order to a topsy-turvy NCAA tournament on Sunday, getting 29 points from Nolan Smith in a 78-71 victory over Baylor that put Coach K and the Blue Devils in college basketball’s biggest event for the first time in six years. Jon Scheyer added 20 points for Duke, ending Baylor’s charming run to redemption in the South Regional final. The Blue Devils became the only No. 1 seed to advance to Indianapolis and earned their 11th Final Four berth under coach Mike Krzyzewski. “I can’t put it into words,” said Lance Thomas, one of three Duke seniors. “It took us four years to get here and we’re not done yet.” The Blue Devils will play East Regional champion West Virginia in the national semifinals Saturday night. They have won 11 of their last 12 regional finals under Krzyzewski, but haven’t won a national title since 2001. Coach K made his first Final Four with Duke in 1986 and hadn’t had a gap this long between trips. To end the drought, Duke had to win at Reliant Stadium – only 31⁄2 hours from Baylor’s campus. Most of the crowd of 47,492 was dressed in the green and gold of the Bears. “We played against a great team,” Krzyzewski said. “It was such a well-played game, and we were fortunate to win.” Smith and Scheyer helped the Blue Devils (33-5) offset a poor game from junior forward Kyle Singler, who was 0 for 10 from the field and made only five free throws. It was the first time in his college career he failed to hit a field goal. LaceDarius Dunn had 22 points and Ekpe Udoh scored 18 for the third-seeded Bears (28-8), whose program was in shambles when coach Scott Drew took over in the wake of murder and scandal less than seven years ago. Drew took the Bears from tatters to the cusp of their first Final Four appearance in 60 years. After three consecutive 20-win seasons and an inspiring postseason run, maybe Baylor can be recognized more for its success now than the tragic summer of 2003 that is finally starting to feel like a long time ago. After tying the game for the 12th time on a free throw with 3:36 left, Smith missed his second attempt. But Thomas grabbed one of his nine rebounds and quickly passed the ball right back to Smith, who hit a 3-pointer from the right wing to put Duke up 64-61.

Mountaineers capture WBI title BOONE (AP) – Darcie Vincent met a number of skeptics two years ago when she left the powerhouse she built at California (Pa.) for Appalachian State. “They asked, ‘Why would you leave such a great program? Why would you do that when you’re winning 30 games a season?’” said Vincent, who won the Division II national title in 2004. “Well, that got kind of complacent.” Fast forward to Sunday afternoon, when a smiling Vincent celebrated the Mountaineers comeback from a 19-point deficit to beat Memphis 79-71 to win the first Women’s Basketball Invitational. “Now the fun is back in me,” Vincent said. “You get excited when you wake up. You get excited when you go to bed at night.” Tournament MVP Ashlen Dewart had 21 points and nine rebounds on her 19th birthday, Chakeitha Weldon added 15 points, and former East Davidson star Anna Freeman had 13 points, nine rebounds and eight assists as Appalachian State (23-12) completed a dramatic turnaround after going 9-22 a year ago in Vincent’s debut season.

Appalachian State’s players pose with the trophy after the Mountaineers rallied from a 19-point deficit to defeat Memphis 79-71 on Sunday in the WBI championship game in Boone. Capturing a new tournament that many didn’t know existed a month ago didn’t bother a team of mostly freshmen and sophomores, who cut down the nets and drenched their energetic coach with water. “It’s been a heck of a run,” Vincent said. It required finding a way to fi-

nally slow Brittany Carter. The Georgia transfer scored 31 points in 27 minutes, but was in foul trouble for much of the second half. Ramses Lonlack added 16 points for Memphis (23-12) in a matchup of the top seeds in the 16team tournament. Halfway through the first half,

Carter had outscored Appalachian State 14-13 and Memphis built a 36-17 lead. “We were playing very scared,” Vincent said. She switched to a matchup zone and focused multiple defenders on Carter, who scored 49 points in a game earlier this season. The trapping defense fueled the comeback. “There was just a little more pressure than usual,” said Carter, who hit 9 of 16 shots and 10 of 13 free throws despite a cut above her eye that will require stitches. “Their zone was pretty wide and for a while they had a box-andone, a little double team.” The Mountaineers used a 140 run bridging halftime to take their first lead. Dewart then hit a 3-pointer, had a three-point play and a layup in the decisive 16-1 spurt that put the Mountaineers ahead 68-57 with 5:26 left. Appalachian State forced 23 turnovers in its eighth straight home win. “They turned the tide with their pressure because they stayed with it and they were stubborn about doing what they do,” Memphis coach Melissa McFerrin said.

HIT AND RUN

A

pparently, Duke defeated Baylor in a classic Elite Eight battle on Sunday. I say apparently because I did not actually see very much of this NCAA Tournament game. Severe weather in parts of North Carolina prompted the local CBS affiliate to break away from nearly all of the second half of the Blue Devils’ 78-71 victory in lieu of non-stop live radar shots of admittedly colorful blobs of green, yellow, red and purple. I have no idea how Duke overcame a threepoint halftime deficit or how the Blue Devils

pulled away in the closing minutes to beat a determined bunch of Bears. C’mon TV gang. I understand you’re proud of your doobey doo, skiparoo state-of-theart technology and I share your concern for keeping area folks safe. But you could have accomplished that goal and showed off your radar without forcing us to miss so much of the Duke game. Why not show a few minutes of weather, then go back to the game, then provide another weather update for a few minutes and so on?

This debacle brought back unpleasant memories of the “Heidi Game” fiasco. On that Nov. 17, 1968 Sunday, NBC broke away from the end of the Jets-Raiders game in Oakland to show “Heidi” in its entirety. The Jets led 32-29 when NBC switched to “Heidi.” The Raiders rallied for an amazing 43-32 win that no TV viewers saw. I expect they were as ticked off then as Triad viewers were yesterday.

Iowa has convinced Fran McCaffery to leave Siena to become the Hawkeyes’ new coach. Athletic director Gary Barta announced the hiring in a release Sunday and said McCaffery would be introduced in a press conference today in Iowa City. McCaffery went 112-51 in five seasons at Siena, leading the Saints to three straight NCAA tourney appearances. Siena lost to Purdue in the first round this year and finished with a 27-7 record. McCaffery, who also served as head coach ay UNCG, replaces Todd Lickliter, who was fired after Iowa went 10-22 this year. The Hawkeyes last made the NCAA tournament in 2006 – losing to Northwestern State on a 3 at the buzzer – and coach Steve Alford left for New Mexico following the 2007 season.

U.S. women top Mexico

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Amy Rodriguez and Shannon Boxx scored first-half goals as the United States increased its unbeaten streak against Mexico to 24 matches with a 3-0 win on Sunday. Christine Lilly became the first U.S. player to appear in a match in four different decades when she entered in the 30th minute. The 38-year-old Lilly appeared in her 333rd career match, the most of any female American player. The Americans improved their record to 230-1 against Mexico. Rodriguez scored in the 12th minute when she took a long pass from Heather O’Reilly and beat goaltender Pamela Tajonar to the ball with a left-footed kick. Boxx extended the lead when she scored after getting a ball in deep against Tajonar in the 43rd minute. Lauren Cheney also scored.

Rain postpones NHRA to today

AP

Kyle Busch’s crew pushes his car back to the garage after the postponement of the Goody’s 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Martinsville Speedway on Sunday. The race is set for noon today (WGHP, Ch. 8).

CONCORD (AP) – Rain and a forecast for more severe weather Sunday forced NHRA officials to postpone the completion of the inaugural NHRA FourWide Nationals to today at zMAX Dragway. Top Fuel and Funny Car competitors completed two rounds before the rain started to fall just past 2 p.m. at the first NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series event to feature racing in four lanes instead of the traditional two. One round was completed in Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle. Top qualifier Cory McClenathan, Doug Kalitta, Antron Brown and local favorite Doug Herbert, from nearby Lincolnton, will decide the Top Fuel final. In Funny Car, 14-time world champ John Force, daughter Ashley Force Hood, Matt Hagan and Ron Capps will race for the Wally at the historic event. Series leader Mike Edwards, Gainesville winner Jason Line and Phoenix runner-up Bob Yonke are still in contention in Pro Stock eliminations. Top qualifier Jeg Coughlin was upset in the first round, along with Greg Anderson, who set a national speed record during qualifying. Four of the top-five points leaders in Pro Stock Motorcycle were upset in the first round. Defending series champ Hector Arana, top qualifier Matt Smith and past Charlotte winner Steve Johnson advanced to the second round.

Menard enjoys unexpected fast start A Couples triples

n early season hot streak can propel an unexpected intruder to a spot among the usual suspects at the top of the Cup points standings. Last season, David Reutimann became a darling while cracking the top 10. This year, the name not usually found amongst the leaders is Paul Menard. Unexpected because in 111 starts SPORTS before this season, the son sponsored by Greer his wealthy father’s Smith Midwestern hard■■■ ware store chain had managed just one top-five finish (a second at Talladega in the fall of 2008) and had mustered points finishes of 34th and 26th for Dale Earnhardt Inc. and 31st last season for Doug Yates. Menard drives for Richard Petty Motorsports, after it swallowed Yates Racing in the offseason. He was expected to be the forgotten man in a four-driver lineup that includes Kasey Kahne, Elliott Sadler and A.J. Allmendinger. Instead, he’s helped lead the way for RPM. In the season’s first five races, he matched his top-five total with a fifth at Atlanta and came home 13th, 18th, 17th and 18th in the others. That’s not exactly Jimmie Johnson territory, but more than a Talladega frontstretch better than usually coming in 20th or worse. Consistently finishing in the top 20 is good enough to have Menard sitting ninth in points. That got him ninth starting position when rain washed out qualifying Friday

at Martinsville Speedway, where more rain on Sunday delayed the Goody’s 500 until noon today (WGHP, Ch. 8). “Our cars are drivMenard ing better this year than what we had last year and it’s shown for all eight Fords in our camp,” said Menard, referring to RPM’s four cars and the four from Roush-Fenway Racing. “I’m just really pleased with the effort of everybody at Richard Petty Motorsports and under the Ford Racing banner. We’ve made big gains, but the hard work is still in front of us and we just have to keep on digging.” Menard is 12 spots in points better than the next RPM driver, Allmendinger. Kahne dogged by bad luck is 23rd. Sadler is 25th. Being part of RPM, the team founded by Ray Evernham, is playing a big part in the improvement, according to Menard. “I’m driving the same way and we just have resources and tools and teammates and a lot of smart people I can lean on, and everybody our team leans on, to make good decisions and go forward,” Menard said. “We’re all competitors and nobody wants to lie down and give a half-hearted effort. Everyone wants to give 100 percent and do the best job they feel they can personally.” RPM general manager Robbie Loomis credited the addition of crew chief Slugger Labbe as a big factor in the team’s improvement. “The biggest thing is Slugger has come in there,” Loomis said. “He’s real aggressive guy. He’s come in there and rallied the troops. Paul is giving good feedback and they’re

getting better and better each week.” Also playing a role in the development is a rethinking about chassis setups after both Yates Racing and Roush-Fenway struggled at a number of tracks last season. At this time last year we were struggling bad, we were trying to find that next hot thing and it might not be there,” Menard said. “This year, we’re just kind of going back to basics and getting solid cars built at the shop and trusting the (computer) simulation programs while taking the common knowledge that we know has worked in the past and just apply it and try to improve on it.”

OF NOTE Sunday’s rainout was the first time a Cup race was postponed to Monday at Martinsville since the fall of 2001. The last postponement for the Cup Series was at Watkins Glen last August. “Yeah, it’s difficult,” Allmendinger said. “It stinks for the fans and all the teams, but the fortunate thing is we’ve got an off week coming up, so it’s not like it is going to put us way behind. I’m just happy whenever I get in the car whether it is Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.”

VICTORY FOR DILLON After finishing 16th in the NASCAR truck race on Saturday, High Point University freshman Austin Dillon went to 311 Fastrack near Madison and won the Carolina Clash late model dirt race that ended late Saturday night. Ken Schrader was sixth with Justin Labonte 12th. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Rain pushes IRL race back to today ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) – Typically, it takes more than some strong bands of rain to keep Indy Racing League cars from getting on the track. And Sunday was not typical, not by any measure. With 6 inches of water pooling on some sections of the low-lying track, the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg was postponed after a band of thunderstorms pounded the course for much of the afternoon. It was the first time an Indy Racing League event was pushed back by weather since April 2008, when Danica Patrick won in Japan.

“We’re one of the few series in the world that go racing in the rain,” driver Ryan Hunter-Reay said. “And even this was a bit much.” Rain began falling at the 1.8-mile street circuit just before 1 p.m. Sunday, and a band of strong storms arrived quickly from there. Parts of the infield flooded, the line between grass and asphalt was impossible to find in some other areas, and as Dario Franchitti and Graham Rahal took a ride around the track in a pace car, waves generated by the tires sloshed high against the track wall. “Some of the areas in the grass

and the areas in the infield around (turns) 13 and 14 are literally ponds right now,” said Brian Barnhart, the president of IRL’s competition and racing operations division. Fans were told to evacuate shortly before 2 p.m., near the end of the IndyLights race, because storms and lightning were expected, and drivers were told that even tornadoes were possible in the region. “So much water you cannot see where the road stops,” Rahal posted on Twitter about 30 minutes before the postponement was announced. Today’s event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m.

Button’s gamble pays off with win in Australian GP MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) – McLaren’s Jenson Button survived a first-corner collision and successfully gambled on a bold tire strategy to win a thrilling Formula One Australian Grand Prix on Sunday. Button was the first driver prepared to change from intermediate tires to slicks on a drying track, and drove the final 52 laps on a wearing set of soft tires to claim back-toback race wins in Melbourne. The 2009 world champion tangled with Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso at the first corner, and inherited the lead just before half distance when pole sitter and race leader Sebastian Vettel ended up in a gravel trap after the brakes on his Red Bull failed.

Renault’s Robert Kubica was 12 seconds behind in second place, driving doggedly to hold off faster rivals and finish ahead of Ferrari pair Felipe Massa and Alonso. The top four drove most of the race uninterrupted on one set of tires, while their rivals behind them elected to stop for fresh rubber. Boldest of all was Button, who changed to slicks when the track was still damp, carefully navigated while he got heat into his tires, and was rewarded with a victory in just his second race with McLaren, having won the world title with Brawn GP last year. “I thought it was a terrible call initially. I thought it was a catastrophic mistake. Once I got it going

and up to speed, the pace was pretty good,” Button said. “It was the right call, and I am very happy.” If fortune favored the brave Button, it entirely deserted Vettel, who for the second race running was let down by a mechanical failure while comfortably leading a grand prix. He has just six championship points – and Red Bull has 18 – meager reward for the car that had proven itself to be the quickest in the early part of the season. Among those who were called in for a new set of tires was Button’s McLaren teammate Lewis Hamilton, who fumed at the decision postrace, saying his team’s strategy call cost him at least a second-place finish, if not victory.

CAP CANA, Dominican Republic – Fred Couples won his third straight Champions Tour start, closing with a course-record 10-under 62 on Sunday for a two-stroke victory over Corey Pavin in the Cap Cana Championship. The 50-year-old Couples, the first player in Champions Tour history to win three of his first four tournaments, had a 21-under 195 total on the Jack Nicklaus-designed Punta Espada course. Couples is the eighth Champions Tour player to win three straight starts, leaving him one behind the tour record set by Chi Chi Rodriguez in 1987. The ACE Group Classic and Toshiba Classic winner after finishing second in the season-opening event in Hawaii, Couples hasn’t had a score higher than 68 and is 77 under in 12 senior rounds. He earned $240,000 for a four-event total of $931,000. Pavin finished with a 66. His second shot at the par-4 14th hit a greenside sprinkler head and bounced 60 yards over the green into a waste area. He made a bogey, losing the lead for the first time since the seventh hole.

RAIN DELAYS PALMER INVITATIONAL ORLANDO, Fla. – Ernie Els had a two-shot lead over Kevin Na when the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational was suspended by thunderstorms that soaked Bay Hill for three hours. The round is to resume this morning. Els had a five-shot lead with six holes to play and was cruising toward his second straight victory until hitting into the water for a double bogey on the 13th and into the sand for a bogey on the next hole. Els was at 11 under and on the 15th hole. Na was at 9 under and on the front of the 15th green in two, 80 feet from the hole. The group another shot back included Ben Curtis and Chris Couch, playing with Els; and Retief Goosen, who was on the 18th tee. Els went two years without winning, and was poised to only wait two weeks this time. He ended the longest drought of his career at Doral with a four-shot victory.

OOSTHUIZEN TAKES ANDALUCIA OPEN MALAGA, Spain – South Africa’s Louis Oosthuizen earned his second straight trip to the Masters, winning the Andalucia Open for his first European tour title. Oosthuizen closed with a 3-under 67 to finish at 17under 263, three strokes ahead of Scotland’s Peter Whiteford (66) and England’s Richard Finch (67). With the victory, the 27-year-old Oosthuizen moved into the top 50 in the world ranking, giving him a spot at Augusta National.

Oothuizen, Choi earn spots in large Masters field ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Louis Oosthuizen and K.J. Choi can add Augusta National to their travel itinerary. They were among five players who have moved into the top 50 in the world ranking and earned a spot in the Masters, which could have its largest field in 44 years. Oosthuizen, the 27-

year-old South African who lost a 54-hole lead a week ago in Morocco, won his first European Tour event Sunday at the Andalucia Open in Spain. He earned enough points to move into the top 50. Choi closed with a 1-over 73 and was tied for 17th in the Arnold Palmer Invitational when the final round was suspended by weather.

2010 Final Four features familiar, unusual BY EDDIE PELLS AP NATIONAL WRITER

There’s a coach they call “Huggy Bear� and a team better known for its fieldhouse than its players. There’s a Final Four regular that hardly anyone figured would get this far and, bringing a wee bit of normalcy back to the party, there is Duke. One of the most unpredictable NCAA tournaments in recent history served up a bit of the familiar

for the Final Four – and a good dose of something completely different. Coached by Bob “Huggy Bear� Huggins, West Virginia will make its first appearance since 1959, back when Jerry West played guard. Its opponent Saturday will be Duke, the only No. 1 seed to make it to Indianapolis. The other game features Butler against Michigan State in a meeting of two No. 5 seeds – the first time that’s happened. Butler, enrollment 4,500, plays in

the gym where they filmed the basketball classic “Hoosiers� and is making its first Final Four appearance. Michigan State is making its sixth and perhaps most unexpected trip in the past 12 years. The Spartans (28-8) defeated Tennessee 70-69 on Sunday to win the Midwest Regional. Speaking of destiny ... Butler (32-4) will bring a 24-game winning streak to Lucas Oil Stadium – which happens to be only about a 10-minute drive from campus.

Michigan State returns to Final Four – again ST. LOUIS (AP) – Don’t bet against Tom Izzo and Michigan State this time of year. Raymar Morgan’s free throw with less than two seconds left gave the Spartans a 70-69 victory over Tennessee in the Midwest Regional final Sunday, sending Michigan State to its sixth Final Four in 12 years and second in a row. No team in the country – not North Carolina, not Kentucky, not UCLA – has done it better during

that span. And all six trips have come under Izzo, the hard-nosed coach who preaches defense, rebounding and physical play. Oh, and how’s this for some symmetry? This happens to be the 10th anniversary of the “Flintstones,� the team that gave Michigan State its second national title. Highlights from that run were included in the video montage of past championships that played on the Edward Jones Dome’s massive Jumbotron

during halftime. The fifth-seeded Spartans, last year’s national runner-up, will be looking for championship No. 3 next weekend in Indianapolis. They play Butler, also a No. 5 seed and sure to be the hometown favorite, in the semifinals Saturday night. The Spartans (28-8) led by as many as eight in the second half, but Brian Williams pulled sixthseeded Tennessee (28-9) within 6968 on a putback with 2:10 left.

Defense on display as Duke, Baylor women meet MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – Baylor’s freshmen have learned the same important lesson all young players are taught in the NCAA women’s tournament: defense is key. “In high school if you’re the best player on the team, you don’t have to play defense, just offense,� freshman guard Shanay Washington said. “Coming here, with Melissa (Jones) and Lindsay (Palmer) driving past you in practice every day, you feel kind of bad. You have to focus on defense.� Two of the best defenses in the country will be on display when

the fourth-seeded Lady Bears meet No. 2 seed Duke in the Memphis regional final today with a trip to San Antonio for the Final Four in on the line. Duke (30-5) hopes to use its stifling defense to expose Baylor’s youth. The Blue Devils, playing in the program’s eighth regional semifinals, have limited their opponents in the NCAA tournament to an average 49 points, 35 percent shooting while forcing 21.3 turnovers. “At this time a lot of unexpected things happen. Freshmen become seniors, seniors can’t become fresh-

men,� Duke senior forward Joy Cheek said. “Hopefully to our advantage we as upperclassmen will play like upperclassmen.� Baylor’s own defensive force, 6foot-8 freshman Brittany Griner played more like a senior in the Lady Bears’ 77-62 regional semifinal win over top-seeded Tennessee. Griner was dominant on both ends of the floor when she led the Lady Bears (26-9) with 27 points and 10 blocks, and when she wasn’t blocking shots or scoring, she was drawing double- and triple-team defense that opened up her teammates.

James powers Cavaliers past Kings THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

23 points and career highs of eight assists and seven rebounds in place of an injured Vince Carter, helping the Orlando Magic beat the Denver Nuggets 103-97 on Sunday night. Redick was 8-for-15 shooting and played a career-high 46 minutes after Carter sprained his right big toe. The Magic also got a big boost with 19 points from reserve Ryan Anderson for their 13th win in the last 15 games.

CLEVELAND – LeBron James scored 23 of his 34 points in the second half, Antawn Jamison added 26 and the Cleveland Cavaliers welcomed back adored center Zydrunas Ilgauskas with a 97-90 victory over the ailing and aching Sacramento Kings on Sunday. Beno Udrih had his first career triple-double (18 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds) for the Kings, who because of injuries dressed only eight players and then lost forward BUCKS 108, GRIZZLIES 103 (OT) Dominic McGuire in the first quarMILWAUKEE – John Salmons ter with a foot injury. scored 10 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, and MAGIC 103, NUGGETS 97 Milwaukee rallied to avoid a third ORLANDO, Fla. – J.J.

HEAT 97, RAPTORS 94 MIAMI – Dwyane Wade scored 32 points, and the Miami Heat rallied from a 17-point deficit to beat the Toronto Raptors 97-94 on Sunday.

Seo wins LPGA Kia Classic CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) – Hee Kyung Seo ran away with the inaugural Kia Classic for her first LPGA Tour title Sunday, shooting a 2-under 70 for a six-stroke victory in a final round marked by Michelle Wie’s latest rules gaffe. Seo, who is not a member of the LPGA Tour, received one of the three sponsor’s exemptions to get into the tournament. The 23-year-

old Seo, an 11-time on the Korean LPGA Tour, can chose to become an LPGA Tour member. After opening with a 70 at La Costa, Seo took the lead with a second-round 67 and had a 69 on Saturday en route to a 12-under 276 total.South Koreans swept the top four spots, with Inbee Park (65) finishing second, and Jiyai Shin (70) and Jee Young Lee (70) tying for third at 5 under.

Wie was penalized two strokes for grounding her club in a hazard after hitting out of the water near the 11th green, giving her a doublebogey 7. She was notified of the penalty by LPGA Tour rules official Doug Brecht a few holes later. At the time, she was five strokes behind Seo. Wie ended up with a 72 to tie for fifth at 4 under.

CHAPEL HILL – After the NIT field was announced almost two weeks ago, North Carolina senior Marcus Ginyard said he was surprised to hear the Tar Heels were selected. That sentiment was shared by many who thought UNC’s 16-16 record would not be good enough to get into the second-tier tournament, let alone as a No. 4 seed to host a first-round game. But the Tar Heels have surprised critics and fans alike since then, recording three straight wins for the first time since December to earn a trip to the NIT semifinals at Madison Square Garden, where they will face No. 2 seed Rhode Island on Tuesday (9 p.m., ESPN2). “We were expected to do so much at the beginning of the season, and we haven’t lived up to it,â€? point guard Larry Drew II said. “As the season went on, people started expecting less and less of us and, in fact, I think a lot of people don’t think we should be in the NIT right now. ‌ A lot of people probably didn’t expect us to get through the first two rounds, but now that we are here, we just have to keep playing hard.â€? The Tar Heels head back to New York City looking like the team that beat Ohio State in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic at the Garden in November and defeated

Michigan State in December – and not like the team that went 5-11 in the ACC. Senior Deon Thompson said people who thought UNC would fall in the first round of the NIT do not understand how good the Tar Heels can be. “At the beginning of the season, it was there, but then we slumped and then they just thought we were going to roll over and die and not come out to play, but that is not what’s happened,� Thompson said. And while a run through the NIT might not seem like that big of an achievement for a program that won the NCAA championship a year ago, the wins over William & Mary, Mississippi State and Alabama-Birmingham have brought a positive feeling back to a program that had its worst season since 2002-03. “We all know it’s the NIT, but it is still better than nothing, you know?� Thompson said. And even though the Tar Heels are not in the NCAA Tournament, they are grateful they will get a chance to play at least one more game. Drew said the reaction from fans and on campus has been mostly positive, and the players are just trying to enjoy themselves. “I think people are embracing the whole NIT thing,� Drew said. “We are not in the NCAA Tournament, people know that, but this NIT thing has been fun also.�

UConn women roll into Elite Eight THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DAYTON, Ohio – Maya Moore scored 16 of her 25 points in the opening 9 minutes and seemingly invincible Connecticut took it from there to roll over Iowa State 74-36 in an NCAA regional semifinal Sunday. Kelly Faris came off the bench for 16 points and Tina Charles also had 16 for the Huskies (36-0), who extended their unprecedented winning streak to 75 in a row. The Huskies have won their first three games in the tournament by a combined 148 points – the most ever. UConn easily surpassed the previous mark of 131 it set in 2000 and 2001. Anna Prins scored 10 points for Iowa State (25-8), which fell far short of duplicating the biggest win in program history. The Cyclones had stunned topseeded UConn 64-58 in the regional semis in 1999. Not this time. The Huskies limited them to just 28 shooting from the field and the outcome was never in doubt after Moore hit her first four 3-pointers.

(3) FLORIDA STATE 74, (7) MISSISSIPPI STATE 71 DAYTON, Ohio – Courtney Ward scored Florida State’s last six points in the final 38 seconds, leading the way to a victory over Mississippi State. The Seminoles (29-5) advance to meet No. 1-seeded Connecticut (36-0), which beat Iowa State in the earlier semi, in Tuesday night’s regional final. Alysha Harvin had 21 points and Ward 14 as the Seminoles earned their first spot ever in a regional title game. Chanel Mokango scored 20 points and Mary Kathryn Govero had 19 for the Lady Bulldogs (21-13).

(3) OKLAHOMA 77, (2) NOTRE DAME 72 (OT) KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Nyeshia Stevenson made a 3-pointer with 4.4 seconds left in overtime and Oklahoma knocked off Notre Dame 77-72 to reach the regional finals for the second year in a row. Stevenson had 21 points and Abi Olajuwon added 20 points and 14 rebounds for the Sooners (26-10), who lost to Notre Dame in overtime in the second round in 2008. Oklahoma muffed a chance to win at the end of regulation, as Danielle Robinson slipped 30 feet from the basket.

Ford sells Volvo for $1.8 billion STOCKHOLM (AP) — Zhejiang Geely Holding Group signed a binding deal Sunday to buy Ford Motor Co.’s Volvo Cars unit for $1.8 billion, representing a coup for the independent Chinese automaker which is aiming to expand in Europe. The purchase gives Geely a European luxury car brand with a reputation for safety and quality at a time when China, which last year surpassed the U.S. as the world’s largest car market, is eager to improve its competitiveness by acquiring foreign automotive brands that might help it improve its technology and expand into overseas markets. The price, which includes a $200 million note with the remainder to be paid out in cash, is far less than the $6.45 billion Ford paid for the Swedish automaker in 1999. The U.S. automaker has been trying to sell Volvo since late 2008 to focus its resources on managing its core Ford, Lincoln and Mercury brands. “We think it’s a fair price for a good business, and yes, we’re happy with the deal we’ve achieved with Geely,” said Ford Chief Financial Officer Lewis Booth on Sunday at a news conference at Volvo Cars headquarters in Goteborg, on Sweden’s west coast. Booth added that his com-

Chairman of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Li Shufu (left) and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Ford Lewis Booth shakes hands in front of a Volvo S60 car in the Volvo Hall at the Volvo plant and headquarters in Torslanda, Gothenburg, Sweden, Sunday. Zhejiang Geely Holding Group signed an agreement on Sunday to buy Ford’s Swedish carmaker Volvo. pany believes that, under Geely, “Volvo can continue to build its business and return to profitability.” The agreement was signed by Booth and Geely’s chairman, Li Shufu, and witnessed by Li Yizhong, the Chinese minister of industry and

information technology, as well as Swedish Minister for Enterprise and Energy Maud Olofsson. In a statement, Geely said it has secured all the financing necessary to complete the deal, as well as “significant working capital facilities to fund

Volvo Cars’ ongoing business.” The sale is expected to be completed in the third quarter, subject to regulatory approvals. The deal also covers further agreements on intellectual property rights, supply, and research and development arrange-

ments between Volvo Cars, Geely and Ford. The U.S. automaker has committed to provide engineering support, information technology, access to tooling for common parts and certain other services for a transition period to smooth the separation.

Investors bet on small-cap funds for 1Q growth NEW YORK (AP) – Investors are betting that small-caps will be the stock market’s standouts as the economy improves. Some of the strongest mutual fund returns in the January-March quarter have come from funds that focus on smaller companies. Small-capitalization value funds returned an average 9.3 percent and small-cap growth funds returned 7.2 percent during the quarter. The numbers topped the 3.7 percent return for large-cap growth funds and the 5.3 percent return for large-cap value funds. The figures reflect

trading through Thursday so they don’t include the final four trading days of the quarter. Value funds invest in companies that are considered undervalued and that are expected to pay dividends. Growth funds concentrate on stocks that are expected to post strong gains in price but aren’t likely to hand out dividends. Many small companies are considered growth stocks because they shovel their cash into expanding and aren’t as likely to have a long history. The change in smallcaps’ fortune comes from investors’ growing appetite for risk. Small-caps

were in the dog house during the recession because many investors believed they had fewer resources than bigger companies to withstand hard times. But small-caps are considered more agile when business starts looking up. That vaulted smallcap funds ahead of most large-cap funds in the first quarter, according to fund tracker Lipper Inc. A popular measure of small-caps, the Russell 2000 index, is up 8.9 percent so far this year, including dividends. By comparison, the total return of the large-cap Standard & Poor’s 500 index is 5 percent.

LONDON (AP) – British Airways workers took to the picket lines Saturday for a second round of strikes against the struggling airline, causing widespread disruption and frustration among passengers. Union officials say 12,000 members are taking part in the four-day strike, which comes only a week after another walkout touched off travel chaos. BA has been taking a hard line against strikers, and has promised to fly more than three quarters of booked passengers. But its Heathrow services will be severely depleted – down to 55 percent for short haul and 70 percent for long haul – as the dispute over pay and changes to working conditions trudges on. “This is the second part of the biggest contingency plan we have ever launched and our aim will continue to be to fly as many customers as we can,” the airline said in a statement. Both the airline and the union say they are willing to return to negotiations, but there is little sign of reconciliation from either side. A first round of strikes last week cost the airline about 21 million pounds ($31 million). Chief Executive Willie Walsh outraged union members by withdrawing valuable travel perks from workers who walked off the job, arguing they were not part of their contracts. The union, Unite, says any deal must restore those privileges. News of a report commissioned by BA that advised airline bosses to hit the union’s leadership “where it hurts,” will add further pressure to the tense situation.

CEO: Fiat to boost Chrysler stake to 2 years TURIN, Italy (AP) – Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne said Friday the Italian automaker would increase its stake in Chrysler to 35 percent within two years. The first 5 percent increment could come as early as this year after the Fiat 500 electric car is launched, Marchionne told shareholders at their annual meeting. The subsequent two purchases will depend on Chrysler’s distribution outside the United States, with the first linked to sales in Europe and the second depending on Latin America, he said. “In the next 24 months maximum we must arrive at 35 per-

DILBERT

cent of Chrysler,” Marchionne said. “The most important thing is that Chrysler is proceeding on a turnaround plan, the results are good.” Marchionne also strongly defended Italy’s largest employer against criticism that it was abandoning its Italian roots through its alliances with Chrysler and other foreign partners. “Fiat did not go abroad on a whim, and certainly did not go to forget Italy. We are there to make the company stronger,” Marchionne told shareholders. He said he found such criticism “unjust.” Marchionne’s vision has been

to make Fiat an international player strong enough to survive a shrinking market. Last year Fiat took a controlling 20-percent share in Chrysler LCC in exchange for small car technology and management. Fiat also has signed strategic partnerships with automakers in China and Russia to give it access to growing markets. Fiat’s ambitions have created concerns in Italy that the automaker’s real plan is to shift production away from Italy – something Marchionne strongly denied. A newspaper reported this week that Fiat planned to cut

5,000 jobs in Italy, slash the number of car models produced – plans that Marchionne has said do not exist. The automaker will present its five-year business plan April 21, and Marchionne said executives are still working on it. Marchionne told shareholders that the company has not laid off workers despite the crisis that forced it to severely reduce production, instead putting workers on temporary layoffs for a total of 30 million hours, paid from a government-industry fund to which Fiat contributes. Fiat intends to increase auto production in Italy from 650,000

produced last year to 900,000 in three years, he said. Marchionne said the decision to abandon auto production at its Sicilian plant is more than necessary due to its poor logistics, which add ¤1,000 to the cost of every car. He also noted that Fiat plans to move production of the Panda, Europe’s top-selling auto, from Poland to its Naples plant, despite the hundreds of millions it will cost. “We are doing it because, within the limits of possibility, and without endangering the solidity of our company, we maintain it is our duty to give priority to the country where Fiat has its roots,” he said.

Washington Mutual files Chapter 11 plan DOVER, Del. (AP) – Washington Mutual Inc. filed a Chapter 11 reorganization plan, two weeks after resolving a $4 billion dispute with JPMorgan Chase & Co. and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. The FDIC seized Washington Mutual’s flagship

bank in 2008 and sold its assets to JPMorgan. The bank holding company filed its 521-page plan late Friday in Delaware. The plan, which still has to be approved by a judge, would set up a $7 billion trust fund for paying creditors, including

the $4 billion in deposit accounts that JPMorgan had claimed for itself. JPMorgan has agreed to turn over the $4 billion in return for 70 percent of the tax refunds expected from WaMu’s operating losses, valued at about $3 billion.

The Pentagon said Saturday Salomi was back under U.S. military control but gave no details on his disappearance or return. The family says he is expected to arrive at Lack-

of the Righteous, said the four were freed “in response to our demands following the capture of the American officer� – a reference to Salomi, who was not identified by name.
