An extra 25 police officers worked Monday night to maintain security in neighborhoods that were hit the hardest, restricting access to only residents of those neighborhoods. Police Chief Jim Fealy said there had been no reports of looting and the extra officers were working to protect the property of the storm victims.

Electrical crews work to clear and repair power lines along N. Main Street at the Plank Road intersection. “We’ve had a few suspicious people, but most of that has just been people wanting to get a look at the damage,” Fealy said. “We want to support the victims in this, and the best way we can do that is for people who don’t live in those neighborhoods to stay out of them.” The city will relax its yard waste regulations in the storm-damaged areas only. Limbs and branches do not have to be cut in 4foot lengths and bundled. Storm-damaged furniture and appliances will be collected as bulky trash on regular collection days,

according to the city. Residents are urged not to mix storm debris with yard waste. Shingles, gutters, and other building materials are banned from the city’s landfill. They must be disposed of by homeowners or contractors at the construction debris landfill on Riverdale Road, officials said. Public Services Director Chris Thompson said that lawn care contractors who pile limbs in the street will be fined. The yard waste must be placed behind the curb, clear of overhead lines, in order for city crews to pick it up. If they

do not want to wait for the city to collect it, homeowners can take yard waste to the Ingleside Composting Facility and dispose of it for free. Lawn care contractors pay a fee. City crews had cleared streets of debris by Monday and were expecting all power customers still in the dark to have regained service. “It’s well within our wherewithal as a city to handle,” City Manager Strib Boynton said of the cleanup. “I think it’s been phenomenal progress made so far.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Road closings due to Sunday night’s storms and a major electrical malfunction with the printing press delayed delivery for many subscribers of The High Point Enterprise on Monday. Sunday night’s storms delayed printing by 31⁄2 hours. Some of the newspaper’s carriers also were affected by the weather, as were their delivery routes. According to Publisher Mike Starn, some of the carriers lived in areas affected by the storm damage and were unable to leave home. Those who were able to make deliveries were delayed or completely blocked from entering many neighborhoods, he said. “We’d like to thank our customers for their patience,” Starn said. “We appreciate the extra effort by carriers and circulation staff. The electronic malfunction has been fixed and delivery will be back in order except for problems from road closings.” Monday’s edition will be delivered today to subscribers who didn’t receive one.

Lone Democrat says he has shot to become Davidson sheriff BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – While four Republicans are attempting to represent their party later this year, one Democrat is assured to be on the ballot in November for the Davidson County sheriff race. Thomasville’s Tommy Evans, the lone Democrat, will not face anyone in a primary this year. Sheriff David Grice, former Sheriff Gerald Hege, former Davidson County Lt. Edgar Shuler and retired state trooper Terry Price face off in the Republican primary on May 4. Evans, 50, is a retired law enforcement office, with 30 years of experience in various forms of criminal justice. He started his career with the Thomasville Police Department in 1978 before working at the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office and North Carolina Probation Parole. He retired in 2008 from the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles License and Theft Bureau. “I think after finishing the 30 years and watching the race, I have a whole lot to give back,” Evans said. “I have a lot of things – special training, years of experience, and the cases I was able to work on in the upper levels – to be able to

bring this back in Davidson County. It seemed like the right thing to do to give it back.” No matter who he faces in November, Evans thinks his chances of becoming Davidson County’s sheriff are good. “I think people are really looking for a person this time, more than a political party line,” he said. “They want to sit back and say, ‘Who is the most qualified person? Who has the most wide range of experience? Who can bring a new school of thought to this area?’ If they take the time to look at this, I should be a good option.” Evans said he has several ideas he would like to implement as sheriff of Davidson County. He said establishing a Safe Neighborhoods Program would enable community action councils, law enforcement, court officials and others to address offenders in an intervention setting to promote positive lifestyles and deter further criminal behavior. He also would like the sheriff’s office to have a victim relief coordinator who would promote a secure environment for victims following a home invasion or loss. Evans said a pretrial release program would reduce the detention facility population and allow more space for violent offenders.

Thomasville’s Tommy Evans, a Democrat, won’t face anyone in the primary for the Davidson County Sheriff race. Evans said he would also like to establish a county work farm, where goods are produced by inmates. He said the work farm allows a location for weekend inmates to report and hopefully complete their court sanctions in a timely manner. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Wide-spread damage FROM PAGE 1

primarily in north High Point – but apparently no serious injuries. Officials estimated that more than 100 homes sustained some form of damage. The damage included numerous houses that were ripped apart and completely destroyed. As of Monday evening, High Point firefighters had discovered 14 single-family homes and 12 apartment units that were uninhabitable as a result of the storm. Authorities said there were no reports of any serious storm-related injuries in the city. Officials said reports indicated at least five people were treated for minor injuries apparently related to the tornado. “The breadth of this is just staggering. It is incredible, the energy and power of that tornado,” said Mayor Becky Smothers. “How do you react when you see a two-story house whose top story has been totally removed? Not only were there people in their houses when this occurred, but there were trees flying all over roadways. Then after the fact, we had crews out with live wires on the ground. The fact that this was resolved (with no fatalities or serious injuries), I think is a blessing from God.”

Areas hardest hit include the Old North Main Street/U.S. 311 area, Old Plank Road, Johnson Street, Old Mill Road, Skeet Club Road and Kendale Road. About 2,300 city customers lost electric service Sunday night, and crews continued working to restore power Monday, with service to the final 100 affected customers expected to be restored Monday night. According to Piedmont Natural Gas, no gas leaks were caused by the storm. The High Point-Thomasville chapter of the American Red Cross set up an emergency shelter Sunday night at Seventh-Day Adventist Church, 279 Eastchester Drive, that drew about a dozen people, said Executive Director Bob Ziegler. The chapter on Monday was gearing up to accommodate more people if necessary. “It’s a big storm for High Point,” said City Manager Strib Boynton. “We have 24 families who won’t be able to go to their homes tonight. That, for High Point, is a significant number of people who are displaced, but the damage could have been much worse.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Man faces attempted murder charges following assault BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

RANDOLPH COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Randolph County man faces numerous felony charges, including attempted murder, after sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputies responded to a Sophia residence last week. Randolph County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office patrol units responded to a 911 hang-up call at 4066 Pearl Ave. on Friday in reference to an alleged assault. Prior to the officersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; arrival, the suspect in the assault fled the scene in his vehicle. About one mile from the residence, the suspect was involved in a singlevehicle accident and required medical attention as a result of the wreck. Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputies and state troopers who responded to the accident scene found controlled substances in the suspectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle. After the items were located, sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s detectives from the

Vice & Narcotics Unit responded and several items were seized, including a double-barrel shotgun, approximately 109 grams of marijuana, 19 Hydrocodone pills, eight Alprazolam pills and a small amount of cash, according to the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. As a result of both incidents, deputies drew arrest warrants on the suspect, who was released from a hospital after undergoing treatment. Authorities identified the suspect as Timothy Mark Bumgarner II, 23, and said he faces charges of attempted first-degree murder, assault by strangulation, felony possession of marijuana, possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, trafficking in opium, simple possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

N.C. should join challenge of health care law The North Carolina flag commemorates two special dates from our history: • April 12, 1776, is the date of the Halifax Resolves, the first action by an American colony urging independence from a tyrannical English government. • May 20, 1776, is when North Carolina became the first colony to declare its independence when representatives from across the state signed the Mecklenberg Declaration of Independence. Today, 234 years later, America faces a tyrannical, power-hungry government once again. This time it is our own. Our out of control federal government has taken money intended to restore the financial stability of major banks and used it to take over the world’s largest insurance company, two of the country’s three largest automobile manufacturers and the nation’s two largest mortgage underwriters. On the same day the federal government told five major banks how much they are allowed to pay their executives, President Obama signed into law a federal takeover of the nation’s health care system. By nightfall day, 14 states joined a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutional authority of the federal government to seize control of one-sixth of America’s

private economy. But where is North Carolina? Have we become too comfortable to concern ourselves with liberty anymore, or would we rather just let someone else fight our battles? The state that led the new nation in independence from England should now join the leaders in reasserting the principles on which that nation was founded. This is not a dispute about political parties. This is about the future of the nation that has been for more than two centuries a beacon of freedom to the world. Call the N.C. attorney general’s office at (919) 716-6400 and demand that our state join the new fight for freedom. DON DAVIS Archdale

Republicans are forgetting GOP presidents’ associations Elaine Davis’ letter of March 23 referred to some of the dangerous liberals she says are associated with Democratic President Obama. Lets take a look at some of past Republican associates. Republican President Richard Nixon met with Chinese Dictator Mao Tse Tung when Mao’s Marxist regime was murdering 8 million people per year in the great re-education of China. I wonder if any of Obama’s so-called as-

sociates carry around Chairman Mao’s “little red book.” I wish Republican Nixon had never made that trip to China. How about Republican President Ronald Reagan sending Donald Rumsfeld to meet with the “Butcher of Bagdad” Saddam Hussein in 1983? He was successful in getting dictator Saddam’s Iraq off the list of state sponsors of terrorism. This opened the way for American companies to overtly sell poisonous chemicals and biological agents to Saddam. Well into Republican President Bush No. 1’s administration, American companies were selling Saddam sample strains of anthrax, bubonic plague and the materials used to make nerve poisons like sarin gas and ricin. What year were the Kurds in the north of Iraq gassed by Saddam, killing thousands of men women and children? When Republican Vice President Dick Cheney was CEO of Halliburton, he met personally with Saddam in Bagdad, wheeling and dealing with the murderous dictator. Yes, I guess we do need to worry about Obama’s so-called associations. He may one day look into the Devil’s eyes and make a deal such as these past Republicans have done. Republicans are trying to rewrite history. I hope they don’t succeed. DAVID DEHART Thomasville

I want to thank my congressman, Rep. Howard Coble for standing up against the Obama health care plan. At a time when Americans are outraged at their government because it seems the majority of our legislators do not listen to the people they are supposed to represent, I am proud that Coble listens to his constituents and votes accordingly. Coble comes home every weekend to be with the people he represents so well. He can be found at parades, barbecues, town meetings, grand openings, meeting with constituents, eating breakfast at the local restaurant, and he is never too busy to say hello and ask how you are doing. He cares, at a time when it feels like no one else does. I wish we had 434 representatives just like him. I am pleased and honored to call Howard Coble my congressman, and that is why I will vote for him on May 4. KATHY HUFFINE Greensboro

It’s a crime reduction effort

teps being taken by High Point police and High Point Community Against Violence definitely are headed in the right direction as they address a shortcoming in their otherwise successful strategy for reducing violent crime. Unfortunately, those steps are being taken in dismal economic times. Police and HPCAV are partnering with America Works – a New York-based company that helps find work for people with criminal records and other hardto-serve job-seekers – to provide job readiness training, job placement and monitoring services to make certain they remain in meaningful, full-time employment. As HPCAV Executive Director Jim Summey pointed out when the plan was unveiled March 24, “It is very difficult to find work for an offender in this economy. It is very difficult for anyone to find work.” Why should you support such an endeavor? Many may believe it’s foolhardy, even unfair, for HPCAV to be seeking full-time employment for those who have been chronic offenders at a time when law-abiding citizens also are out of work. But a growing body of evidence suggests that putting released prisoners to work reduces recidivism and is more cost effective than repeat incarceration. Keep HPCAV’s No. 1 goal in mind. Chief of Police Jim Fealy said it best: This is not about jobs. This is not about helping ex-offenders get jobs. This is about violent crime reduction. One transformed life will be well worth the effort. The more the merrier.

Who will pay for passage of Obamacare?

ith budget deficits, recession and both chambers of the General Assembly up for grabs this fall, North Carolina voters have a lot to think about. But right now, it looks like the single-biggest factor shaping state politics will be the U.S. House vote to nationalize health care. Most North Carolinians didn’t want it. Most North Carolinians would have preferred that Congress and the Obama administration focus on measures to enhance economic growth, rather than socking the economy in the jaw. Most North Carolinians motivated to come to the polls in November will want to hear how their elected officials will repeal Obamacare and replace it with real health care reform that respects America’s traditions of federalism, individual liberty and competitive markets. Never before has Washington been so out of step with the country on a domestic policy matter of such import. Never before has Congress driven itself to such depths of public disapproval for the sake of indulging left-wing fanaticism. But once before, a Democratic president did seek to nationalize health care through a complex array of new federal taxes and regulations. Bill Clinton failed. His effort led to a Republican takeover of Congress, and of the North Carolina House. But at least he failed, which meant that he had room to change the subject and pivot to the center to save his presidency in 1996. Barack Obama “succeeded,” and won’t be able to shed the issue in time for his re-election campaign. It’s become trite to say that the passage of Obamacare is only the beginning of the health-care debate, not the end. But observations often are trite because they are so obviously true. Since major portions of the

president’s bill don’t come into effect for several years, there’s plenty of time for repeal legislation – and any future Republican Congress and president should feel entirely justified ignoring filibusters and other procedural roadblocks to reOPINION peal, given the way Democrats have handled the legislation. John Congressional repeal won’t Hood be the only way for lovers of ■■■ liberty to challenge Obamacare. More than a dozen state attorneys general have filed a lawsuit to challenge the constitutionality of the new federal mandate that all Americans do business with politically favored health insurers. State legislatures can also take a stand by authorizing a constitutional amendment to clarify that Congress has no power to intrude on the private health care arrangements of American citizens. Until Obamacare is repealed, every time a health insurer raises premiums or denies a claim, Democrats will be blamed. As with the stimulus issue, Democrats will claim that things would have been worse without their bill, but few will believe them. Ceteris paribus claims are hard enough to argue when they’re true. Theirs won’t be. Tired of hearing about health care? Sorry, but it will be a dominant political issue for years to come, much to the Democrats’ regret – especially those running for competitive legislative seats in North Carolina. They didn’t pass Obamacare. But now they’re in the way of an angry electorate. JOHN HOOD is president of the John Locke Foundation and publisher of CarolinaJournal.com.

Haiti seeking $3.8B to rebuild country UNITED NATIONS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Haitian government will be seeking about $3.8 billion at a donors conference this week to start rebuilding the country after Januaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s devastating earthquake. Edmond Mulet, the top U.N. official in Haiti, on Monday urged donor nations to respond generously so that the Western hemisphereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poorest nation can reconstruct hospitals, schools, government buildings, roads and ports.

Hamas seizes nearly $300K from Gaza bank GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Employees of a Gaza bank say Hamas police officers seized nearly $300,000 from a Gaza City branch, claiming they had a court order allowing them to take funds that had been frozen by their Palestinian rivals in Fatah. The Islamic militant group has been in a bitter dispute with the Westernbacked leaders of Fatah since seizing control of the Gaza Strip in 2007 in battles that left the Palestinians with rival governments.

Benedict honors John Paul 5 years after death VATICAN CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Pope Benedict XVI is commemorating the fifth anniversary of the death of John Paul II with a Mass in St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Basilica. Many pilgrims from Poland, the late pontiffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homeland, joined Benedict in prayer Monday evening. The 84-year-old John Paul died on April 2, 2005, after battling Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease. The commemoration was held a few days earlier because April 2 this year falls on Good Friday, when Benedict will preside over Lenten services at the Vatican and at the Colosseum in Rome.

Tornado damages cars, downs trees in Bahamas FREEPORT, Bahamas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Police in the Bahamas say a tornado has apparently touched down in at least two places on the island of Grand Bahama. Police spokeswoman Loretta Mackey says there are no immediate reports of fatalities. Mackey says authorities are still checking reports of damage at the islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s container port and elsewhere.

The carnage blamed on rebels from the Caucasus region follows the killings of several high-profile Islamic militant leaders there. The blasts come six years after Islamic separatists from

the southern Russian region carried out a pair of deadly Moscow subway strikes and raise concerns that the war has once again come to the capital, amid militantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; warnings of a renewed determination to push their fight.

His sister was hospitalized with severe facial shrapnel wounds and burns, and doctors were trying to save her eyesight. Surgeons removed metal fragments embedded in both the 10-yearoldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes, and a hospital statement said further operations would be required, but the outlook was negative. The injured mother, identified as Zahra Najafi, said her son had found a bag with the bomb inside a garbage can.

There was no claim of responsibility for the blast, in the capitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s densely populated Patissia residential district.

BAGHDAD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A committee that vets candidates for ties to Saddam Husseinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regime is recommending four people elected to parliament from the winning list of former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi be disqualified, Allawi an official on the committee said Monday. The challenge risks deepening Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sectarian tensions. If the courts accept the recommendation, it could alter the outcome of the March 7 vote in which Allawiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secular Shiite-Sunni coalition beat a bloc led by Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki by just two seats. In particular, that could fuel feelings of disenfranchisement by Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minority Sunnis, many of whom backed Allawiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list and believe the vetting committee is trying to rob them of a victory and tilt the election outcome back to the Shiite-led majority.

GREENSBORO – Keisha Lucas knows first-hand about the importance of a nurse providing handson help to a first-time mother right after a baby is born. Twelve years ago, she was a young mother benefiting from such help. Today, Lucas is one of the nurses helping mothers across Guilford County through the Nurse-Family Partnership. “I can be a cheerleader, a teacher, a mentor in a young mom’s life,” Lucas said during a roundtable discussion on the Nurse-Family Partnership at the Guilford Child Development office in Greensboro Monday morning. Several area state legislators, including Reps. Laura Wiley, R-Guilford and Earl Jones, D-Guilford, who represent High Point, attended the roundtable during the 10th anniversary year of the Guilford County Nurse-Family Partnership. Nurses have served 451 mothers since 2000, making nearly 9,500 home visits. Registered nurses make a more than two-year commitment, meeting with mothers early in pregnancy and continuing home consultations through the baby’s second birthday. Lucas had a baby when she was 21 years old, and she said the guidance of a nurse provided a foundation for her to nurture her child. Lucas later earned a nursing degree at Winston-Salem State University, and for the past eight years has worked for the innovative Guilford County program to match nurses with first-time mothers. The partnership allows mothers to return to school or work, enroll in classes or find a job more effectively, said C. Robin Britt, executive director of Guilford Child Development and a former Democratic congressman from Greensboro. The health care reform bill passed last week by Congress and signed by President Barack Obama includes about $1.5 billion over five years for home visitation programs nationwide, “and a good portion of that should go to nurse-family partnerships,” Britt said. The Guilford County program has an annual budget of $500,000 that comes from federal appropriations and private and foundation support, such as the Duke Endowment, the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust and the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina Foundation. The Guilford County program is one of 10 county programs in the state and the lone one in the Piedmont. Guilford County has the longest-running program in North Carolina. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

AT A GLANCE

–

The Guilford County Nurse-Family Partnership is a program that links registered nurses to first-time mothers through home visitations. The three primary goals of the program are: • Improve pregnancy outcomes by helping women engage in preventative health practices and reducing the use of cigarettes, alcohol and illegal substances. • Bolster child health and development by helping parents provide responsible care. • Improve the economic situation of a newborn’s family by helping parents develop a plan for their future through education and work.

Family members examine the damage to the Craven family home on W. Lexington Avenue Extension in Davidson County. Although the garage was pulled away from the house and flattened by Sunday night’s storm, the rest of the house was only missing a few shingles, said Rodney Craven.

Neighborhood cleans up after tornadoes strike BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A day after two tornadoes ripped through Davidson County, Rodney Craven spent Monday cleaning up outside of his mother’s home on W. Lexington Avenue. “I grew up here,” Craven said as he viewed a garage that a tornado detached from his mother’s home and left flattened. “It just breaks your heart to see it, but you just have to do what you can, straighten up and do what you can to fix it up.” As Craven, his uncle and a neighbor were busy hauling off pieces of timber at his mother’s home, vehicles drove by slowly to see the damage to the residence, and Time Warner Cable employees were busy restoring services. Cra-

ven said fortunately nobody was at home, which was covered by insurance, when the tornado hit. “I hadn’t been home long,” said Craven, a Kinston resident. “My cousin called me and told me what had happened, so I turned around and came back. I got here at about 1:30 a.m. (Monday).” “The house really is intact,” Craven added. “There are a few shingles missing. There might be a little bit of leaking because of the singles. I have a guy who is going to cover those. The end of the house is open. He is going to cover it, too. The garage is going to be a longer process. It’s really just the garage. The house itself is OK.” Across the street from Craven, Kay Hunt said she was a few miles down the road in Wallburg when the tornado hit

W. Lexington Avenue around 7:30 p.m. She and her husband returned home about an hour after the tornado touched down to find three trees had been uprooted in her yard. “About a quarter-mile down that way, there were trees down everywhere,” Hunt said. “We had to go around them to even get here. We could not believe it.” In her 30 years living on W. Lexington Avenue, Hunt said she has never experienced anything like what happened Sunday night. After returning home, the Hunts used candles until power was restored at about 6:30 a.m. Monday. “As long as I’m not hurt and nobody else is hurt, I don’t care,” she said. “You know, stuff is replaceable. We just couldn’t believe it.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Study: Medicare bidding will hurt local businesses BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – The anxiety that struck some medical equipment suppliers after the federal government began soliciting bids for services provided to Medicare patients may be worsened with the release of a new report. The Van G. Miller group, a medical supply member service organization based in Waterloo, Iowa, conducted a study, titled “Durable Medical Equipment Competitive Bidding,” revealing that 24 medical supply equipment companies in the Greensboro/High Point metropolitan area could be forced to close after the bidding process comes to the area next year. Federal bidding rules under Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) were passed on Oct. 21 and will require all medical supply companies to submit bids for their Medicare-related

services to the federal government. The top 10 metropolitan areas in the nation, including Charlotte, were required to submit bids by Dec. 21. The second phase of bidding will begin late next year, encompassing smaller metropolitan areas like High Point and Greensboro. According to the study, 93 percent of local providers won’t be awarded contracts. The study also says the average durable medical equipment company relies on Medicare for 42 percent of their revenue. Joe Hooks, owner of Liberty Medical Specialties, which has offices across the state including locations in Thomasville and Charlotte, said the bidding process puts companies like his at risk. “I suspect the bidding will be awarded to 10 or 15 percent of the companies in the area,” he said. “The other companies will have to get their business elsewhere.”

The state began the bidding process in 2008 but halted it for a year due to complications in the process. Hooks’ Charlotte office participated in that process and was one of 15 offices that received a bid for oxygen supply to Medicare patients. There are more than 100 providers of oxygen in the Charlotte area, and several companies that received bids for the area did not have offices in Charlotte, he said. Brian Keith, owner of the Medical Warehouse and Service Center LLC in Kernersville, said he also believes the bidding process will result in the closing of several local medical supply companies. “I can tell you I believe we will lose vendors because most have put their eggs in the Medicare basket,” Keith said. “I believe the percentage (loss) will be in the double digits.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Teen fights off carjacker at church MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

DURHAM – Will Buckley, 14, slipped out of Palm Sunday afternoon services with the intention of listening to some music in his grandmother’s car. That’s when a masked man with a handgun jumped in the driver’s seat and ordered Will to be quiet and still. “He told me, ‘Don’t move, do not make any sudden movements,’” Buckley said in an interview Sunday evening. The masked gunman sped away with Will in the passenger seat. “I already knew that I was going to have to get away somehow,” he said.

The gun was in the masked man’s lap when he slowed the car to make a turn on Cornwallis Road. Will clocked the guy in the face. “I don’t know how hard I hit him. I hit him hard,” he said. Will jumped out of the car and landed in a patch of grass. He started running toward a gas station where he called for help. On Monday, Durham police investigators said they were looking for a blue 2000 Toyota Camry. They said Will Buckley was injured when he punched the driver and jumped out of the car near Hope Valley and Cornwallis roads. The teen refused medical treatment.

Wesley Clark endorses Cunningham for NC Senator RALEIGH (AP) – Retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark is endorsing former North Carolina state Sen. Cal Cunningham in his bid for a seat in Washington. Clark said in a letter to supporters Monday that Cunningham is “beyond a doubt the best candidate” to challenge North Carolina

Sen. Richard Burr. Cunningham is locked in a primary campaign with other Democrats including Secretary of State Elaine Marshall and Chapel Hill attorney Ken Lewis. Cunningham is an Army veteran who served in Iraq. Clark says the former state lawmak-

Car names suggest that you are what you drive

ear Abby: My husband and I had fun coming up with cars that fit with certain professions (Jan. 23). It made a long car ride seem short. Here’s what we came up with: The Greek epic poet Homer would have a Honda Odyssey, and a firefighter a Chevy Blazer. An entomologist would crawl through traffic in his Mitsubishi Spyder. A meteorologist would drive a Honda Element, an astronomer would have a Mitsubishi Eclipse and an optician a Ford Focus. Picasso would paint the town in his Nissan Cube, an ornithologist would use a Ford Falcon and his lawyer would drive a Honda Civic. – Megan T., Riding The Highways in Belvidere, N.J.

Golf fitness programs make impact on game BY BOB FORMAN

he word is getting out, and the word is good. Golf fitness programs are making an impact on the game and the way golfers play it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not bad for a game-enhancing technology thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really still in its infancy. According to its 2009 and 2010 Reader Survey, Golf Fitness Magazine found that 97 percent of its readers consider health and wellness a high priority in their lives and their golf game. Currently 81 percent participate in some type of fitness program, but 90 percent are interested in getting golf-specific physical assessments, and a whopping 96 percent would like to learn more golf-specific exercises. As word gets out about this new spoke of the player development wheel, golfers are becoming aware that there is a difference between a generic fitness program and a golf-specific one. The key piece is the identification of the golferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specific muscular deficiencies, which we now know are strongly correlated to inefficient and ineffective golf swings. The fact that a majority of golfers are now seeking a golf-specific physical assessment is evidence enough that this technology is on the rise. Further proof is the fact that the Titleist Performance Institute has accredited more than 20,000 golf fitness instructors around the globe. Once the golferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anatomical inadequacies have been identified, a personalized corrective program can begin. As these weaker links improve, progressions into more golf-specific strength, balance, power and function can and should take place. Golfers want to play better golf; that is certain. Until now, the only resources have been the improvement in equipment technology, new teaching aids and golf lessons. Though essential, these external factors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really focus on the mechanism that is swinging the club: the golfer. Golf fitness offers that internal look into the game. By bettering the body, golfers will better their swing and improve swing efficiency, increase distance, enhance playing performance and satisfaction and prevent, reduce and/or eliminate injury potential. To ensure effectiveness, however, make sure your golf fitness professional is certified and utilizes physical assessment before setting up your program.

Babies’ broken bones not always a sign of abuse

ear Dr. Donohue: I was born with a mild case of osteogenesis imperfecta and have had at least 32 broken bones in my 68 years of life. One time, when I went to the emergency room, a 2-month-old baby was there who had had 20 broken bones already. When I was young, this was called brittle bone disease. If a child had so many broken bones, it was taken from the parents, who were accused of child abuse. Please explain this disease and how common it is. – L.C.

BLONDIE

B.C.

Osteogenesis imperfecta, OI, is still called brittle bone disease. It’s an inherited condition where the problem lies in collagen formation. Collagen is the stuff the body uses for support. It is the reinforcing material for all body structures, including bone. The defective collagen leads to weak bones that break easily. There are eight different varieties of OI. Some are so mild that people pass into adulthood without ever having been diagnosed. At the other extreme, one kind of OI is lethal in early childhood. Some forms of the illness impart a blue tinge to the whites of the eyes, and some lead to early deafness. OI affects all races. It’s inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. That means only one gene from either parent can transfer it to children.

Half the children of an affected parent will have the disorder. It occurs in one in HEALTH every 20,000 births. Dr. Paul You’re Donohue right about ■■■ infants coming to the ER with multiple fractures being treated as though they were battered babies. Mistakes like this can disrupt a family until the correct diagnosis is made. OI, thankfully, is recognized more often today than it was in the past. Physical rehabilitation and sometimes the administration of growth hormone or bisphosphonates (medicines used for osteoporosis) can build stronger bones and help OI children attain greater height. Are you aware of the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation? The foundation provides information in depth and teaches patients what is available for them. Contact it at 800-981-2663 or on the Internet at www.oif.org. Dear Dr. Donohue: My son, 57 years old, all of a sudden developed loss of pigment from areas of skin on his face. What caused this? Nobody in our family ever had it. What is the best treatment? – A.V.

My guess is that it’s vitiligo. Melanocytes – cells containing the pigment melanin – impart skin color to people of all races. Vitiligo is a loss of those pigment cells. The result is patches of white skin. It’s something that happens to 1 percent of the population of all countries throughout the world, and half of them experience it before they turn 20. The immune system is at fault. It attacks melanocytes. Why it does so is an unanswered question. Sometimes vitiligo is seen with other autoimmune diseases, like thyroid problems, diabetes, adrenal gland failure (Addison’s disease) and pernicious anemia. Treatments exist. One is to camouflage the depigmented patches with cosmetics. Or doctors can try to coax melanocytes to return to the vitiligo patches by applying cortisone creams or ointments to the involved skin. Another drug, methoxypsoralen, can be spread on the vitiligo skin and then the patient is exposed to ultraviolet A light to restore pigmentation. Oral psoralen drugs can be taken, with subsequent exposure to ultraviolet A light or narrow-band ultraviolet B light. Your son will find helpful information at the National Vitiligo Foundation’s Web site, www. nvfi.org.

Ex-pet store manager heeds sheltering call BY SUE MANNING ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

Jamie Katz, 28, owner of Woof Worx pet store, spends time with the dogs she has rescued from a shelter, at her shop in Los Angeles, Calif. Katz was a manager at a pet store that sold expensive pure bred puppies trucked in from Midwest mills. In just one year, Katz has sold 200 shelter dogs, from puppies to 3-year-olds.

OS ANGELES – For five years, the manager of a pet store in posh Bel Air met delivery trucks loaded with hundreds of ailing purebreds from Midwest puppy mills. “They often got sick in transit,” Jamie Katz said. “They would put hundreds of puppies on a semi and if one got sick, they all got sick. I tried to fix the problems but it’s hard when you are the only one trying.” Two years ago, she found herself with allies – protesters who showed up in front of the store in a high-end mall. They were working on a campaign of the Best Friends Animal Society to persuade people just like her to sell shelter animals instead, which is exactly what happened thanks to Katz. Amid the protests, Katz

poster child for going humane and is endorsed on Web sites, press releases and ongoing demonstrations at other stores. In just one year, Katz has sold 200 shelter dogs, from puppies to 3-yearolds. “That’s a great number. I’m thrilled. It’s AP something to be proud Olive is one of the rescued of,” she said.

Tuesday, March 30, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Norah Jones, 31; Celine Dion 42, Eric Clapton, 65, Warren Beatty 73 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You will have to deal with emotional issues head on. There is so much you can accomplish once you clear the air and set the stage for your personal accomplishments. Your quick mind and physical reaction to whatever is going on in your life will keep you ahead of any competition you face. Strive for the best of everything. Your numbers are 5, 9, 16, 24, 32, 38, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t limit the people you deal with and don’t let them stand in your way either. It’s important to recognize what you have to contribute. Someone you need a favor from will reciprocate if you make a gracious gesture. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Listen carefully, so you don’t miss important information about a deal that will influence your future. Getting all worked up is not the answer. Instead, take notes, ask questions and stick to the rules. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t say no to an invitation that involves children or seniors. You will discover something new that will make a difference to the outcome of a project or goal you are working toward. Keep things simple and work at your own pace. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll face restrictions and added responsibilities at home. Prepare to deal with problems that concern both older and younger family members. You may find yourself in a no-win situation. Don’t let your personal problems stand in the way of your professional success. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Make whatever changes are required to help you feel more comfortable in your surroundings. A work-friendly area will improve your outlook, attitude and ability to get things done. The more creative you are, the better. ★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make choices based on what you want to do, not what everyone thinks you should do. A different approach to something you’ve tried before but failed at will give you a new perspective for the future. Your diversity will attract attention and help. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t limit what you can accomplish because you are afraid to tell it like it is. Your input will make the difference between a workable, good relationship and a partnership that fails. An aggressive move on your part will show your ability to take charge. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The more interest you gather, the more options you will have. A sensitive matter should be kept a secret for the time being in order to avoid an emotional scene. Stick close to home and avoid any sort of power struggle. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A chance to make a good investment is within reach. A change in plans due to an unexpected development or responsibility will leave you scrambling. Get together with people who share your interests. Don’t exaggerate. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t take on too much or travel too far. You can expect to face frustrations and limitations. A love problem will arise that will make you question your current situation. Know the facts before you disagree with someone. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let old debts drag you down. You need to create a situation that will allow you financial maneuverability. Love is in the stars if you frequent places where you used to enjoy spending time. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You don’t have to rush into a personal situation. Moving too fast will lead to uncertainty about your position and your personal status. Don’t feel threatened by what others do when you have just as much to offer. ★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Nikolay Demirev produced the best defensive play of the ACBL Fall Championships, and perhaps of 2009. Demirev was West, trying to beat a slam South reached with carefree bidding. Demirev led the king of clubs and may have been sorry when dummy hit with the singleton ace and two trumps. South took the top hearts to pitch a diamond, came to his ace of diamonds, ruffed a club and ruffed a diamond. South then ruffed his last club and was left with the problem of returning to his hand to draw trumps. He could have ruffed a diamond safely, but it didn’t look that way: On the second diamond, Demirev had played the king!

OVERRUFF So South tried to get back by ruffing a heart, and Demirev overruffed. Down one. Good defenders often choose a trump opening lead against a grand slam. Here, that lead surely would have worked by stopping a club ruff in dummy. Credit Demirev for not only finding a fine falsecard but for maintaining his focus after he

didn’t find the best lead.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 9 3 H A K 8 5 2 D Q J 9 8 4 C A. Your partner opens one spade, you respond two hearts and he raises to three hearts. What do you say? ANSWER: A suitable minimum for partner such as A K 8 6 2, Q J 4, A 5, 6 5 4 will offer a good play for six hearts, so you should make one effort to get there. Cue-bid four clubs. If partner signs off at four hearts, you’ll pass, but if he cue-bids four diamonds in return, you can try again with a cue bid of five clubs. North dealer N-S 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.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Having a couple of freshmen on The Associated Press’ All-America team is nothing new. This year, however, they are from the same school. Kentucky’s John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins were on the All-America team announced Monday. Joining them were Ohio State junior Evan Turner, who received all but one first-team vote, Syracuse junior Wes Johnson and Villanova senior Scottie Reynolds. Wall received 62 votes, while Johnson had 45, Reynolds 32 and Cousins 26 in voting conducted before the NCAA tournament. James Anderson of Oklahoma State was sixth in the balloting with 27 votes and was joined on the second team by Sherron Collins of Kansas, Greivis Vasquez of Maryland, Jon Scheyer of Duke and Da’Sean Butler of West Virginia. The third team was Greg Monroe of Georgetown, Cole Aldrich of Kansas, Damion James of Texas, Luke Harangody of Notre Dame and Darington Hobson of New Mexico.

Baylor women bounce Duke MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – Brittney Griner caught a pass, spun around and hit a short jumper with 45 seconds left to propel fourthseeded Baylor to a 5148 win over No. 2 seed Duke on Monday night for its second trip ever to the Final Four. Duke (30-6) led the entire second half and held a 46-38 advantage with 4:59 left before a 13-2 run for the Lady Bears (27-9). Griner had 15 points, 11 rebounds and nine blocks.

Denny Hamlin (right) shakes the hand of teammate Joey Logano in victory lane after Hamlin won the Goody’s 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup event at Martinsville Speedway on Monday. Logano finished second.

Hamlin charges to win BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

Inside...

MARTINSVILLE, Va. – A late decision to change tires that seemed so wrong when others didn’t turned out to be so right for Denny Hamlin on Monday. Taking fresh rubber enabled Hamlin to charge from fourth to victory in an overtime shootout ending to the rain-delayed Goody’s 500, giving him something to make impending knee surgery a little easier to take this week. “We did it the old-fashioned way,” Hamlin said. “We passed cars back. It was a good day for us.” While the Virginia native left overjoyed with his third Martinsville Speedway, Jeff Gordon complained about NASCAR’s decision to throw a caution flag that brought the eight extra laps while he handily led Matt Kenseth and was about 100 yards from taking the white flag – which would have assured a finish at the prescribed 500-lap distance. Hamlin appeared to give the race away when he and second-running Kyle Busch, one of his Joe Gibbs Racing teammates, pitted on lap 492 under a caution brought out by Jeff

----

Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth tangle again. 3D Burton hitting the wall – a few laps after he dropped from second. The pit stops put Gordon into the lead while Busch restarted ninth with Hamlin 11th. Gordon pulled away after the restart and appeared on the way to victory when Busch backed into the third turn wall while Gordon was coming off turn four on lap 499. Hamlin had moved into fourth when the yellow waved. “It was pretty obvious NASCAR wanted a green-white-checkered finish,” Gordon said. “Cars had been blowing tires left and right and then a car hits the wall and then they throw a caution in a blink of an eye.” On the restart on lap 507, Gordon and Ryan Newman lined up on the front row, followed by Kenseth and Hamlin. Kenseth went to the inside in turn two by rooting Gordon out the way, shoving Newman to the outside and out of the picture. Gordon leaned on Kenseth going down the backstretch. When they

got to turn three, Kenseth kept going straight as Hamlin took the lead for good. Gordon said he made sure Kenseth didn’t win. “When guys give you a cheap shot, they don’t deserve to win the race,” Gordon said. Hamlin took the lead followed by teammate Logano and they continued that way to the finish as Gordon settled for third. Newman was fourth and Martin Truex Jr. fifth. “I got my braking point and I saw Matt was still going, so I knew he couldn’t make it,” Hamlin said. “When we got to the end of the backstretch, I knew were going to win the race.” The postponement meant Hamlin was forced to delay his knee surgery, which was scheduled for Monday and was to repair damage suffered in a January basketball game. “It bothered me for the last 100 laps,” Hamlin said. “Yeah, it bothered me that it was postponed because I need every hour to recuperate to be good for Phoenix. We’re going to have to deal the cards we’re dealt. Just like the end of this race, things don’t always go the way you planned.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Trinity’s Bulla gets East-West nod BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

TRINITY – The East-West All-Star football game will boast a Trinity representative for the second straight year. T.J. Bulla recently was selected to appear in the July 21 showcase at Grimsley High School’s Jamison Stadium. The senior standout’s appearance comes one year after Bulldogs coach Alex Mebane served as an assistant on the sidelines. “T.J. was selected as a long snapper, but would not have been picked if not for the fact that he

also played defensive line and tight end/fullback,” Mebane explained. “After meeting with the head coach and two of the assistants at a clinic in Greensboro, I sold them on his versatility and his ability to play positions besides linebacker.” Bulla was a two-year varsity starter for Trinity at defensive line and linebacker, and while he earned all-conference honors on the line as a junior and at linebacker as a senior, was deemed a touch slow to play linebacker for East-West, Mebane said. Still, there was plenty more Bulla could do even after starring on de-

fense for the Bulldogs – he finished third on the team in tackles as a junior and ranked No. 1 last fall with 78 solo stops and 49 assists. In addition to performing at long snapper – a vital special teams role in which many teams struggle – Bulla served as a key blocking back at fullback and tight end his senior year. “The last time I spoke with the coaches, they planned to use him as a blocker on offense and as a defensive lineman,” Mebane said. “Obviously, they also want him to be the long snapper. I am very proud of T.J. and I’m sure that he

will represent me, our staff, Trinity High School and Randolph County very well. He has been a big part of our success the past four years.” Bulla will become only the third player in school history to play for the East-West football team, Mebane said. John McEachin in 2004 and Josh Stevens in 2006 were the others. Bulla’s college plans remain undecided for the fall, but Mebane said the player “definitely” plans to compete somewhere as a walkon. Those plans could get a boost with a strong performance during the week of East-West drills. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

NBA TORONTO CHARLOTTE

o expect Martinsville Speedway to have been full would have been a stretch. Tickets were available for the scheduled running on Sunday and it would have been a bit much to expect all of the crowd to return on a Monday, considering people who do have jobs are a bit touchy about keeping them when unemployment is raging about 15 percent. Those who showed up saw a dandy finish, the product of a couple of late caution flag; Denny Hamlin deciding to give up the lead on a pit stop with less than 10 laps left in regulation; the not-ending under caution rule that denied Jeff Gordon his 83rd win

and set up a finish that included more pushing and shoving between Gordon and Matt Kenseth. Up until then, the day was beautiful, but the action wasn’t overly exciting. For those who are getting tired of Jimmie Johnson winning almost everything at the “paper clip” and everywhere else, it was lovely. Recent trends also continued. Cars from Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing were contenders, and the Fords with the exception of Kenseth weren’t. Richard Childress Racing also displayed some of its continued strength as Jeff Burton was the equal of eventual winner Denny Hamlin. On

the other side, Jimmie Johnson surprised by not being a contender at a place where he has won six times. Hamlin proved he could be on the verge of replacing Johnson as the Martinsville master with his third win. Another win by the Old Dominion native certainly was welcome by the home folks and those who sell tickets at the historic track. That and a day when Johnson proved he isn’t invincible certainly don’t hurt the prospects of the stands being nearly full the next time.

High Point University senior outfielder Matt Gantner was named the Big South Conference baseball player of the week, the league announced Monday. Gantner hit .611 to help lead the Panthers to a 3-2 record for the week, with a series win over Winthrop and a win over Wake Forest. “Matt Gantner is a great story this year,” said head coach Craig Cozart. “To come back after missing last season with an injury and play the way he has in every aspect of the game is a tremendous lift for the team and a credit to his work ethic.” Gantner hit .611 in five games last week, improving his season average to .422.

Kansas’ Aldrich leaving early for NBA KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Cole Aldrich, fighting back tears, said Monday he’ll skip his senior year at Kansas and head for the NBA. The 6-11 center, who averaged almost a double-double for the Big 12 champions, is projected by most experts as a high first-round pick. Blessed with a wingspan greater than most men his height, Aldrich averaged 11.3 points and 9.8 rebounds for the Jayhawks, who were the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament before they were upset by Northern Iowa. He also set a team record with 125 blocks. The Jayhawks are still waiting for a decision by freshman swing man Xavier Henry, their second-leading scorer. It would have been a surprise if Aldrich had elected to remain in school. His father, Walter Aldrich, is a construction worker who’s been put out of a job by the recession.

Davidson’s women’s coach resigns DAVIDSON (AP) — Davidson coach Annette Watts has stepped down after nine seasons. Watts says in a release put out by the school that she resigned because it was the right move for her and the program. Watts is the winningest coach in school history with a career record of 144-121. She went 102-68 in Southern Conference play and led Davidson to the WNIT in 2007. The Wildcats (14-15, 12-8) finished in sixth place in the league this season. The school said Monday that a national search for her replacement will begin immediately.

Gordon, Kenseth rekindle feud J

eff Gordon showed his feud with Matt Kenseth isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t entirely in the past. Their disagreements have included Kenseth spinning Gordon in a battle for second at Bristol and Gordon later spinning Kenseth from the lead at Chicagoland. Gordonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fuse was ignited in Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rain-delayed Goodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 when Kenseth muscled past during an overtime restart. Gordon responded by sending Kenseth shooting toward the wall with a little over a lap to go, giving Denny Hamlin the opening he needed to win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way he raced me today wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the way I raced him,â&#x20AC;? Gordon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had our ups and downs. But I feel like we were past that. I certainly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like we had any issues.â&#x20AC;? Kenseth, who wound up 18th, regretted his decision to put the bumper to Gordon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did go in there and I did get into Jeff a little bit, really not that hard, and I got under him and everything was fine and he just took a left as hard as he could take and ran me down all the way into the marbles,â&#x20AC;? Kenseth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hang onto it when I got to three. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing Jeff wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have done or hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done to me, except heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrecked me all the way out, so it was just an aggressive race for the end. ... It was a dumb move on my part. I should have just finished third and collected some points and got one of our best finishes at Martinsville, but I figured Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go for the win, which, I guess in hindsight, was probably a mistake.â&#x20AC;?

OFF THE MARK Jimmie Johnson went through a very un-Jimmie Johnson-like day. Johnson, who has won five of the past seven Martinsville races, was rarely a factor. He climbed to third

near the midway point, but ran around 10th for the last 150 laps and finished ninth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were trying some stuff through the company, particularly (my) car,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We SPORTS thought we would get it sorted out in practice Greer and came up just short. Smith We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; time with our new ideas.â&#x20AC;? As a consolation prize, Johnson took the points lead from Kevin Harvick â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who finished 100 laps down after lengthy stops for mechanical repair. Johnson is 14 points ahead of Greg Biffle and 16 in front of Kenseth. Harvick dropped to fourth and 61 behind the lead. Harvickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad day was followed by more woes for Richard Childress Racing when Jeff Burton blew a tire after leading 140 laps and dueling with eventual winner Denny Hamlin. Clint Bowyer was the bright spot for RCR, finishing seventh.

LATE SURGE Denny Hamlin wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only one who benefitted from a late tire change. Brian Vickers, who ran around 15th for most of the day, used one to charge to sixth in the eight-lap overtime, his second top-10 finish of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was what we needed as a team to get our momentum back,â&#x20AC;? Vickers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made a great call to get tires. It was a gamble that paid off. We struggled all day with getting a good drive off the corner. The guys made a bunch of adjustments to correct the condition. And we battled back to get our track positions back after a few incidents early in the race.â&#x20AC;? gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Force powers to NHRA win CONCORD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; John Force raced to victory in Funny Car on Monday at the rain-delayed finals of the inaugural NHRA Four-Wide Nationals at zMAX Dragway Forceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second victory of the season came in the first four-lane â&#x20AC;&#x201C; instead of the traditional two â&#x20AC;&#x201C; event in NHRA history. He powered his Ford Mustang to a 4.036 second run at a top speed of 316.23 mph to finish ahead of his daughter, Ashley Force Hood, Ron Capps and Matt Hagan. It was Forceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 128th career victory.

Cory McClenathan (Top Fuel), Mike Edwards (Pro Stock) and Matt Smith (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also were winners in an event that was postponed Sunday because of rain. The 60-year-old Force, who had one of the worst seasons of his career in 2009, leads the points race by 89. McClenathan finished in front of runner-up Doug Kalitta and semifinalists Antron Brown and Doug Herbert. McClenathan, who regained the series points lead with the effort, finished

in 3.820 at 319.60 to earn his 33rd career victory and second of the season. Edwards raced to his third victory of the season and 23rd overall in Pro Stock, holding off Jason Line, Greg Stanfield and Bob Yonke. Local-favorite Smith of nearby King raced to his first Pro Stock Motorcycle victory of the season and 11th of his career. He rode his Buell to a 6.973 at 189.84 to finish in front of defending champ Hector Arana, past Charlotte winner Steve Johnson and Michael Phillips.

North Carolina guard Larry Drew II looks to lead the Tar Heels past Rhode Island in tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NIT semifinals in New York.

Drew, Tar Heels eye NIT semifinal win over Rams BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

CHAPEL HILL â&#x20AC;&#x201C; North Carolina point guard Larry Drew II has heard the criticism all season long. He turns the ball over too much. He is not quick enough. He makes poor decisions. He is not good enough to be a starting point guard at UNC, the reigning national champion. But no matter what the sophomore has heard, he has not let it shake his confidence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think you are always going to have some kind of critics, and I just embrace it,â&#x20AC;? Drew said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I welcome any critics, all critics, whatever. I just use that as motivation. Like I said, I try to prove people wrong. I get a lot of satisfaction out of doing that.â&#x20AC;? And for the past three games, Drew has been playing some of his best basketball of the season and is a big reason why the fourth-seeded Tar Heels will face second-seeded Rhode Island today in the NIT Final Four in Madison Square Garden (approximately 9:20 p.m., ESPN2). The winner of tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game will play the winner of Mississippi-Dayton (7 p.m., ESPN2) on Thursday in the championship game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I admire him because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken a lot of criticism, people blaming things on him, and he just kept fighting,â&#x20AC;? UNC freshman John Henson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just glad heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing well right now and hopefully we can keep it going.â&#x20AC;?

18 assists with nine turnovers the past three games, compared to 8.8 points per game, 90 assists and 51 turnovers during 16 ACC games. But some of Drewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest contributions during the NIT have come down the stretch. After scoring nine points and recording six assists with two turnovers in the first-round victory over William & Mary, Drew scored the winning bucket against Mississippi State in the second round. He took the ball the length of the court and put a lefthanded layup off the glass, high above the NCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career blocked shots leader, Jarvis Varnardo, with two seconds remaining. For Drew, that game-winning shot didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just help the Tar Heels (19-16) advance but also was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;take-thatâ&#x20AC;? moment for his critics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know some people go out and be like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The shot was lucky. He just threw it up and hoped it went in,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Drew said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did hope it would go in, but I have a (left-handed shot), also.â&#x20AC;? Then in the Tar Heelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; third-round victory over Alabama-Birmingham, Drew scored eight of his 11 points in the second half, including two free throws with 21 seconds to play to give UNC a 5651 lead. The Rams are familiar with the ACC, having defeated the two other ACC schools they faced this season. URI rallied from a 12-point deficit in the second half to beat Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va., on Wednesday to earn a trip to New York and stunned Boston College in Chestnut Hill in December.

Clutch putts key for Els ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Ernie Els made two clutch par putts, escaped trouble from a buried lie in the bunker and wound up wearing a blue blazer Monday for winning the rain-delayed Arnold Palmer Invitational. Suddenly, it’s easy to picture him in a different color jacket two weeks from now. Els overcame a few nervous moments with four solid pars to wrap up a 1under 71 and win by two shots at Bay Hill, giving him back-to-back victories for the first time in seven years and setting himself up as a favorite at Augusta National. “I’d like to put this jacket in some dye,” Els said at the trophy presentation. “Some green dye.” Coming off a four-shot victory in the World Golf Championship at Doral two weeks ago, Els had to work harder than he should have for his 18th career victory on the PGA Tour. He had a five-shot lead Sunday afternoon with six holes remaining until hitting into the water on No. 13 for a double bogey and hitting into the sand on the next hole for a bogey. Then came the thunderstorms, halting the final

round until it resumed at noon Monday. Els immediately felt pressure as he stood over a 6-foot par putt, but he made it. With his lead down to one shot over Kevin Na, his 4-iron came up short of the 17th green and plugged into the face of the bunker. Els blasted out to 6 feet and made that one for par. “The whole thing changed from being very comfortable to being just as tense as I’ve been for a long time,” Els said. “So it was a hard struggle today. If I can say it, I really earned this one.” He finished at 11-under 277 and moved to No. 7 in the world rankings. Els earned $1.08 million, giving him more than $3 million for the year and putting him atop the PGA Tour money list. Na missed an 18-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole for a share of the lead, then drove into the right rough and had to lay up short of the water. He hit a wedge within 8 feet and missed the putt, giving Els some breathing room. Na closed with a 69 and shared second with EdoAP ardo Molinari of Italy, Ernie Els throws his ball to the gallery on the 18th green after winning the Arnold who also had a 69. Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill in Orlando, Fla., on Monday.

Power goes 2-for-2 in IRL ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) – Will Power’s right hand was wrapped in a bandage after the race, something that probably should be striking fear across the Indy Racing League. When Power gets hurt, he seems to come back stronger. Barely seven months after breaking his back in a scary crash, Power continued crafting a stirring comeback tale on Monday by winning the rain-delayed Honda Grand Prix for his second victory in as many IndyCar events this year. Power went to the front after a restart on the 78th of 100 laps, then stayed there the rest of the way and held off Justin Wilson by nearly a full second. Power is the first driver to start an IndyCar season 2-for-2 since Sam Hornish did it on his way to the series title in 2001, and he’s already got a 44-point lead in the standings over defending series champion Dario Franchitti, Ryan Hunter-Reay and Wilson. Plus, Power led a huge day for Penske Racing. Dan Wheldon was third, Helio Castroneves fourth – and after that, no one in the field finished within 22 seconds of the lead.

Ca-ching! Shoppers keep registers humming WASHINGTON (AP) – Confidence is growing that the economic recovery won’t fizzle out. Consumers kept cash registers humming last month at a decent pace, pointing to modest and steady economic gains ahead. The Commerce Department reported Monday that consumers boosted their spending by 0.3 percent in February, marking the fifth straight monthly gain. Nigel Gault, chief U.S. economist at IHS Global Insight, called it “an encouraging sign of consumer revival.”

Oil prices rise after report, bombing NEW YORK – Oil prices got a boost Monday from positive economic indicators and worries about terrorist bombings in Moscow. Benchmark crude for May delivery jumped $2.17 to settle at $82.39 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gasoline pump prices edged down slightly for motorists gearing up for Passover, Easter and spring break road trips. Nationwide average retail prices shed less than a penny overnight to $2.80 a gallon.

Treasury will begin selling Citi shares NEW YORK – The Treasury Department said Monday it will begin selling the stake it owns in Citigroup Inc., which could result in a profit to the government of about $7.5 billion. The government received 7.7 billion shares of Citigroup in exchange for $25 billion it gave the bank during the 2008 credit crisis. It said it will sell the shares over the course of this year, depending on market conditions. Citi, one of the hardest hit banks during the credit crisis and recession, received a total of $45 billion in bailout money.

Greece raises $6.74 billion in bonds ATHENS, Greece – Greece raised ¤5 billion ($6.74 billion) Monday with a seven-year bond issue, in a crucial first borrowing test after the euro zone unveiled a rescue last week to help Athens cope with its acute debt crisis. But the government’s borrowing costs remain higher than it wants. The bonds were sold at a coupon yield of 5.9 percent, according to a statement from the government’s Public Debt Management Agency.

The pickup in spending was a tad slower than the 0.4 percent increase registered in January and marked the smallest increase since September. Nonetheless, the spending gain was considered decent, especially given the snowstorms that slammed the East Coast and kept some people away from the malls. “Households are starting to ease up on their tight grip on their wallets, though it would be nice if they had more money to spend,” observed Joel

Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors. Americans’ incomes didn’t budge. Incomes were stagnant in February, as the bad weather forced employers to trim workers’ hours. That followed a solid 0.3 percent gain in January and marked the weakest showing since July, when incomes actually shrank. Income growth is the fuel for future spending. February’s flat-line reading suggests shoppers will be cautious in coming months.

Feds dole out $600 million in housing aid NC to receive $159 million THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Obama administration on Monday announced $600 million in financial support for five more states with high unemployment that have been slammed by the housing bust. Ohio got the largest share of funding, at $172 million, followed by North Carolina at $159 million and South Carolina at $138 million. Oregon and Rhode Island are due to receive $88 million and $43 million respectively. The money will be given to state housing finance agencies. They will design mortgage assistance programs that meet broad criteria provided by the Treasury Department. “The purpose of this is

to foster innovation in dealing with what is a highly localized problem around the country,” said Herbert Allison, an assistant Treasury secretary, adding, “we want to learn from the innovations.” Last month, the Obama administration said it would give $1.5 billion to state housing agencies in Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan and Nevada, which have some of the highest foreclosure rates in the nation. Monday’s action is the latest tactical change for the Obama administration, which has been under pressure to do more to tackle the foreclosure crisis. The Obama administration targeted North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, and Rhode Island because they have the largest share of residents living in counties with unemployment rates above 12 percent.

UAW trust to auction Ford stock to cover health care costs DETROIT (AP) – A trust fund set up by the United Auto Workers union is hoping to raise at least $1.3 billion to help pay retiree health care costs by selling rights to an 11 percent ownership stake in Ford Motor Co. The trust will auction warrants to buy 362 million shares, which were issued in December 2009, starting at 8 a.m. Tuesday. The automaker and union agreed to set up the trust to help Ford remove retiree health care costs from its books while it was in financial trouble in 2007. In January, the trust

began paying health care costs for about 200,000 Ford blue-collar retirees and their spouses nationwide, and Ford said it is saving the company roughly $500 million per year. The trust set a minimum price for each warrant at $3.50. Each warrant gives the holder the right to buy a Ford share at $9.20. At the minimum price, the trust would get $1.3 billion. Shelly Lombard, credit analyst at the New York bond research firm GimmeCredit, said the trust is wise to sell the warrants now, since Ford’s stock has been on the rise.

Spending report boosts markets NEW YORK (AP) – Consumers are more willing to spend, and that’s making investors more optimistic about the economy. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 46 points Monday and broader indexes also climbed after the Commerce Department said consumer spending rose for the fifth straight month in February. The 0.3 percent gain was in line with economists’ expectations and raised hopes that the biggest driver of the economy is continuing to rebound. Job creation and solid consumer spending are considered crucial to a sustained recovery. Meanwhile, easing concern about debt problems in Greece reduced demand for the safety of the dollar. The dollar’s drop in turn lifted demand for commodities. Financial shares were mixed after the Treasury Department said it would start to sell the shares it owns in Citigroup Inc. The government took 7.7 billion Citigroup shares in exchange for $25 billion it gave the bank during the 2008 credit crisis. The planned sale during the next year could result in a profit of about $7.5 billion. The advance Monday extended a run of incremental gains since early February on expectations that the economy is improving.
