George Bartlett throws a limb onto a pile of debris as he helps Bud Witcher clear his back yard at 3509 Langdale Drive.

HIGH POINT – Three days after he and his family got the scare of a lifetime, the front yard of Jason Huffman’s Old Mill Road home was swarming with volunteers. Huffman, his wife and three children took shelter in a closet inside a recent addition to their house when Sunday’s tornado dislodged the 500-square-foot room and scattered it about 100 yards away. “As soon as we got in the closet, it hit us,” said Huffman. “I remember it took me and slammed me hard against a wall and the next thing I knew I was in the yard.” His 4-year-old daughter, Lilly, suffered a broken leg, and the family has since learned that their home has been declared uninhabitable and will be demolished, Huffman said. Volunteers from their church, Shady Grove Wes-

leyan in Colfax, on Wednesday were helping the Huffmans clean up. Among other volunteers lending a hand was Jeff Leonard, chief of the police department in the town of Wake Forest, who came with three of his fellow officers to help remove some of the dozens of downed trees Old Mill Road property owners are dealing with. “My neighbor is the grandmother of (Lilly Huffman), so when I heard what had happened, we decided to

HIGH POINT – Two additional trains will chug through the Piedmont this summer, making stops in High Point and Greensboro along the way. The North Carolina Department of Transportation announced two new midday routes for the Amtrak system, which runs from Raleigh to Charlotte, would begin June 5. A Southbound Amtrak will come from Raleigh, arriving at the High Point Train Depot at 1:40 p.m. daily, and a northbound train from Charlotte will arrive in High Point at 1:45 p.m. daily. The trains will arrive in Greensboro at 1:23 p.m.

Housing tax credit nears end BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The homebuyer’s tax credit that has driven an abundance of home sales since last year soon will become a thing of the past. Thirty days remain for potential buyers to get a home under contract to qualify for the federal government tax credit, which can offer up to $8,000 to first-time buyers and $6,500 to repeat buyers. But the one-month time frame is still enough for buyers who want to take advantage of the credit, according to real estate officials. “I’m telling buyers, ‘Don’t delay any longer if you’re going to do this,’ ” said Ken Wall, president of the High Point Regional Association of Realtors, about the credit. The first thing that a potential buyer should do is get pre-

The federal government program originally applied to first-time homebuyers, offering up to an $8,000 credit for single taxpayers who make no more than $125,000 and married couples who make no more than $225,000 a year. The credit has been expanded to repeat buyers, offering them up to $6,500 toward the purchase of a new home. To qualify, the home must be under contract by April 30 and close by June 30. approved for a loan as soon as possible, Wall said. “That could take anywhere from a couple of hours to a few days, depending on their financial situation,” he said. “There are also some things that may show up on their credit that keep them from getting the loan, but they can take some action to get those things wiped off and re-apply. The sooner they start, the better.”

Once a buyer is pre-approved for a loan and has selected a house, they shouldn’t hesitate to make an offer, Wall added. “Sometimes, it can take sellers days to respond to an offer,” he said. “The less time buyer’s have to get a house under contract, that’s when they begin to lose their bargaining ability.” An option to prevent de-

Flu shots still available

Tax Freedom Day approaches BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – Amid an upsurge of H1N1 cases in the Southeast, health officials still want people to get their flu shots. The North Carolina Division of Public Health reported five deaths from influenza in the state in the week ending March 20. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported H1N1 activity in several southeastern states. In the past two weeks, 70 to 80 people in Georgia have been hospitalized with swine flu, the most since September. “It is absolutely not too late to get your flu shot,” said Dr. Ward Robinson, Guilford County Department of Public Health medical director. “We have both seasonal and H1N1 influenza vaccines ready to give, besides getting the H1N1 vaccine now will make any immune response to next year’s seasonal flu vaccine that much more protective.” Several risk factors can make having the flu even worse, including asthma, chronic lung disease and other conditions which result in a weakened immune system. Swine flu has sickened about 60 million Americans, hospitalized 265,000 and killed about 12,000. The U.S. death toll from the new H1N1 virus, declared a global epidemic, is about one-third of the estimated deaths from a regular flu season. Children and teens are much more vulnerable to swine flu than seasonal flu.

So far, officials have found 614 homes and businesses citywide that sustained damage in the storms.

TRIAD – As tax filing day approaches, some workers may take comfort in knowing that they have earned enough to pay their taxes. Tax Freedom Day arrives April 7, according to the Tax Foundation’s annual calculation, two days earlier in North Carolina than the national date due to state and local taxes lower than the national average. Overall, North Carolinians worked 97 days to pay local, state and federal taxes to rank 26th nationwide, down from 25th last year. The calculation is based on a 365-day calendar, not actual work-weeks. This year’s national tax freedom day is one day later than in 2009, but more than two weeks earlier than in 2007 because of lower tax burdens driven by the recession, income tax cuts for 2009 and 2010 and repeal of portions of the estate tax, according to the foundation. The nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, estimates that 2010 taxes will amount to 26.89 percent of personal incomes. The highest ever was 2000 when government took 33.6 percent. In fiscal year 2008, North Carolinians paid

TRINITY – Randolph County Sheriff’s Office deputies seized more than 100 marijuana plants after searching a Trinity residence last week. Authorities said the sheriff’s Vice & Narcotics Unit searched 5689 Gallimore Town Road on March 24 and executed a search warrant there pursuant to an investigation. Detectives located and seized 111 marijuana plants, numerous prescription medications, including Oxycodone, Alprazolam and hydrocodone, drug paraphernalia and grow materials, according to the sheriff’s office.

MAKHACHKALA, Russia (AP) – A Chechen militant claimed responsibility for the deadly attacks on the Moscow subway in an Internet message posted Wednesday, hours after two more suicide bombers struck southern Russia in brazen defiance of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. Doku Umarov, who leads Islamic militants in Chechnya and other regions in Russia’s North Caucasus, said in a video posted on a prorebel Web site that Monday’s twin

suicide attacks were revenge for the killing of civilians by Russian security forces. Umarov’s statement appeared after Putin vowed to “drag out of the sewer� the terrorists who plotted the subway bombings, which killed 39 people and wounded scores of commuters during the morning rush hour. Wednesday’s suicide bombings killed 12 people in Dagestan, a volatile southern province east of Chechnya. Putin said they could have been

Pakistan lawmakers target presidential powers ISLAMABAD – A parliamentary committee agreed on a constitutional amendment Wednesday that strips the Pakistani president of powers inherited from the country’s former military ruler, fulfilling a long-standing opposition demand and reducing pressure on the U.S.-allied leader.

Obama expands offshore drilling, ignites debate WASHINGTON (AP) – Shaking up years of energy policy and his own environmental backers, President Barack Obama threw open a huge swath of East Coast waters and other protected areas in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico to drilling

The move allows drilling from Delaware to central Florida, plus the northern waters of Alaska. Wednesday, widening the politically explosive hunt for more homegrown oil and gas. Obama’s move allows drilling from Delaware to central Florida, plus the northern waters of Alaska, and exploration could begin 50 miles off the coast of Virginia by 2012. He also wants Congress to lift a drilling ban in the oil-rich eastern Gulf of Mexico, 125 miles

from Florida beaches. Still off limits: the entire Pacific seaboard. And in a nod to conservation, Obama canceled oil exploration in Alaska’s Bristol Bay, deeming the area a national treasure. For this oil-dependent nation, the decision could start to reshape far-reaching economic and national security policies, affecting where the U.S. gets the fuel for its cars, heating and energy-gulping industry. For a president on a roll following a big health care win, Wednesday’s drilling declaration was both aggressive and pragmatic. Even with a push for cleaner energy sources and efficient cars – and with promises of protection for ecosystems and coastal tourism – the nation still needs more oil, Obama said. “The answer is not drilling everywhere all the time,” Obama said in an event at Andrews Air Force Base. “But the answer is not, also, for us to ignore the fact that we are going to need vital energy sources to maintain our economic growth and our security.”

Bush wiretapping program takes hit in ruling SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – In a repudiation of the Bush administration’s now-defunct terrorist surveillance effort, a federal judge ruled Wednesday that government investigators illegally wiretapped the phone conversations of an Islamic charity and two American lawyers without a search warrant. U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker said the plaintiffs provided enough evidence to show “they were subjected to warrantless electronic surveillance” by the National Security Agency. The judge’s 45-page ruling focused

narrowly on the case involving the AlHaramain Islamic Foundation, touching vaguely on the larger question of the program’s legality. Nonetheless, Al-Haramain lawyer Jon Eisenberg said the ruling had larger implications. “By virtue of finding what the Bush administration did to our clients was illegal, he found that the Terrorist Surveillance Program was unlawful,” Eisenberg said. President Bush authorized the surveillance program shortly after 9/11, allow-

ing NSA officials to bypass the courts and intercept electronic communications believed connected to al-Qaida. Generally, government investigators are required to obtain search warrants signed by judges to eavesdrop on domestic phone calls, e-mail traffic and other electronic communications. At issue Wednesday was a 2006 lawsuit filed by the Ashland, Ore., branch of the Saudi-based foundation and two American lawyers Wendell Belew and Asim Ghafoor. Belew and Ghafoor claimed their 2004

Rotting ships to be removed from Suisun Bay BENICIA, Calif. (AP) – The federal government on Wednesday said it would remove a decaying armada of military vessels dating back to World War II from a San Francisco Bay waterway that has been polluted by the boats for decades. Most of the vessels, including some that chased submarines during World War II and others that delivered troops and supplies to battlefields in subsequent wars, are destined for the recycling yard, the

U.S. Maritime Administration, or MARAD, said Wednesday. The agency said it settled a lawsuit and agreed to remove most of the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet, known as the “ghost fleet,” a collection of mostly obsolete military boats. The gray and rust-red hulks, some stretching between two-and-three football fields long, are anchored in rows in Suisun Bay, a shallow estuary between San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento-

phone conversations with foundation official Soliman al-Buthi were wiretapped without warrants soon after the Treasury Department had declared the Oregon branch a supporter of terrorism. They argued that wiretaps installed without a judge’s authorization are illegal. It was the last active case pending before a trial judge challenging the wiretapping program that ended in 2007. “The ruling ends the case, but without the fireworks everyone expected,” George Washington University law professor Orin Kerr said.

Full results of a big study testing a drug for preventing prostate cancer show a higher risk of heart failure, a surprise finding that could dampen enthusiasm for expanding its use. On Monday, GlaxoSmithKline PLC asked the federal Food and Drug Administration to approve its drug Avodart as a cancer preventive for men at higher-than-normal risk of the disease. The drug is already sold for urinary problems, and no heart failure risks

Results of a study testing it as a cancer preventive were given at a medical conference last year, but the heart risk information had not been analyzed at that time so only the main results of the study were presented, a Glaxo spokeswoman said. Full results are being published in today’s New England Journal of Medicine. The study involved 6,700 men with high scores from PSA blood tests but no sign of cancer on biopsy.

City employees, neighbors respond in time of need The citizens of High Point owe a deep expression of gratitude to the staff of our fine city. Police officers, fire department staff, utility crews and many untold others worked tirelessly in response to Sunday night’s tornado. The city’s finance director was even seen dragging away debris! Thank you city staff! Also, the response of neighbors everywhere was overwhelming. As we have seen over and over throughout the years, the best of High Point just has to shine through when it counts. My family was blessed not to experience any damage to our home. However, we have dear neighbors who are now out of their homes. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. STEVE HANCOCK High Point

The normal services of trash and water have been without equal in any of the communities in which we have lived. They take practically everything we place on the curb. The personal and friendly service provided by those in the city office also promotes the high quality of “Southern hospitality” not found in many other cities. But we have never seen such attendance to duty than during the tornado which passed over our town. God spared my home from major damage (a Bradford Pear tree and portion of a fence).

YOUR VIEW POLL

OUR VIEW

any of us like to slam the N.C. Department of Transportation folks sometimes for their seemingly strange way of doing things. But with work to replace the Interstate 85 Yadkin River bridge set to begin this summer, let’s give DOT planners a high-five this time. While the state was appealing to the good senses of the Obama administration to put up major funding to replace the structurally deficient, 1950s-era bridge that is a major national transportation system link, DOT officials and financial planners were hard at work developing a “Plan B” for making the project happen in the event that Obama’s crowd didn’t come through with the cash. As we know, politics ruled in the White House’s decision to award many small slices of funds from a $1.5 billion pot instead of four or five large project grants as was originally intended. The Yadkin bridge project received only $10 million of the requested $300 million. But now, DOT is moving ahead with a three-year, $180 million plan to replace the bridge and widen the interstate toward Salisbury to connect with the section of recently improved highway there. This is a much needed move, and it will be a welcome improvement to travelers locally and nationally who cross the bridge – about 70,000 a day. However, this three-year project contains no plans or funds for widening the interstate north of the river in southern Davidson County to the area south of Lexington where I-85 and U.S. 52 split and I-85 expands to six lanes. This additional work – about 3.5 miles and estimated to cost about $150 million – should be placed on a construction timetable for as soon as possible. This four-lane interstate section in southern Davidson will connect six-lane and eight-lane sections, creating bottlenecks and traffic hazards. To its credit, the DOT is ready to begin fixing part of the problems at and near the Yadkin River bridge. But they must keep pushing to finish the job that needs to be done.

Let’s have no more anonymous back-stabbing

t must have seemed like a great idea at the time. There was this new medium, the Internet, and newspapers were posting stories on it, and someone decided to create a forum where readers could discuss and debate what they just read. It must have seemed an inspiration kissed by the spirit of Jefferson: a free public space where each of us could have his or her say. Unfortunately, the reality of the thing has proved to be something else entirely. For proof, see the message boards of pretty much any paper. Or just wade in the nearest cesspool. The experiences are equivalent. Far from validating some high-minded ideal of public debate, message boards – particularly those inadequately policed by their newspapers and/or dealing with highly emotional matters – have become havens for a level of crudity, bigotry, meanness and plain nastiness that shocks the tattered remnants of our propriety. For every person who offers some trenchant observation on the point at hand, there are a dozen who are so far off point they couldn’t find their way back with a compass and road map. For every person who brings up some telling fact, there are a dozen whose “facts” are fantasies freshly made up to suit the exigencies of arguments they otherwise cannot win. Why have message boards failed to live up to the noble expectations? The answer in a word is, anonymity. The fact that on a message board – unlike in an old-fashioned letter to the editor – no one is required to identify themselves, no one is required to say who they are and “own” what they’ve said, has inspired many to vent their most reptilian thoughts. So, some of us are intrigued by what recently happened in Cleveland. It seems someone using the alias “lawmiss” had posted provocative comments and scathing personal attacks on the Web site of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Some of those comments and attacks evinced an unlikely familiarity with cases being heard by a local judge, Shirley Strickland Saffold. When lawmiss made a comment about the mental state of a reporter’s relative, the paper decided to trace the nickname. It found that the postings came from Judge Saffold’s personal e-mail account.

Saffold claims her 23-year-old daughter authored the comments. Sydney Saffold, who lives in another city, supports her mom’s story. Believe them if you choose. Meanwhile, the paper has been criticized by some observers for unmasking lawmiss, and there OPINION is some merit to that. It’s wrong to offer anonymity, then yank Leonard it away. But it would’ve been Pitts “more” wrong to have evidence ■■■ that a judge viewed an attorney appearing in her court on a capital case as “Amos and Andy” – to use one example – and do nothing about it. The larger point is that the paper should not have offered its message posters anonymity in the first place. “No” paper should. A confidential source necessary to break the big story is one thing. But the only imperative here is to deliver more eyes to the Web site. As any student of Sociology 101 can tell you, when people don’t have to account for what they say or do, they will often say and do things that would shock their better selves. That’s the story of the mousy, mosque-going schoolteacher swept up in the window-breaking mob during the big blackout. It’s the story of the milquetoast accountant who insults the quarterback’s mother from the safety of the crowd. And it is the story of newspaper message boards, which have inadvertently licensed and tacitly approved the worst of human nature under the guise of free speech. “Enough.” Make them leave their names. Stop giving people a way to throw rocks and hide their hands. Any dropoff in the quantity of message board postings will surely be made up in the quality thereof. That’s my opinion. If you don’t like it, well, at least you know who to blame. LEONARD PITTS JR., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

Here’s theocratic hypocrisy, American style BY ROBERT R. (DUSTY) SCHOCH

ypocrites all. That’s what we Americans are. We’ve got prisons full of men (and women) convicted of sexually molesting children. We (through California law) are still seeking extradition of Roman Polanski 33 years after he is accused of sexually assaulting an under-aged girl. We claim to have a constitutional separation of church and state, but our behavior there is most hypocritical of all. One of the reasons we “justify� invading Afghanistan and Iraq – and threaten to invade Iran – is that their governments are intolerably “theocratic� – i.e. dominated by religious (clerical) rather than lay (secular) rulers. Like us. Yeah, right. We also have laws that provide that persons who aid and abet criminals before the fact are legally as guilty as the ones who commit the crimes; this is in fact the core of the now historically infamous “Bush Doctrine� where our cowboy president proclaimed to the world that all countries harboring terrorist criminals were terrorist criminals. We are such hypocrites. How do I support and make sense of the preceding declarations?

although a few offending priests are defrocked (talk about sending B’re Rabbit to the brier patch!), and a few sent to “sex rehab,â€? few are imprisoned. Had these boy molesters been school teachers or other (no pun) laymen, they’d be in our prisons and afterward posted on our neighborhood sex-watch lists. But because we have for the most part colluded in allowing the Catholic Church to treat these crimes as “intramural theocratic matters,â€? we’re not only hypocrites, we are culpable as accessories after the fact. Next to our military, we allow our Catholic church to be the biggest “don’t ask don’t tellâ€? outfit in the world. Largest recent case in point: Infinitely more than Roman Polanski, Rome’s own Pope Benedict VI is clearly a sex criminal subject to German criminal indictment and extradition, and similar criminal prosecution in America and every civilized country in the world. The case is clear that the Pope – a.k.a. Archbishop (of Munich) Joseph Ratzinger – knew about the sexual crimes of Rev. Peter Hullermann (along with – as Pope – the other 10,667 crimes in America alone) and thereafter transferred him (from Essen) to another Catholic parish (in Munich) “for treatment,â€? whereafter he was permitted to – and did (surprise, surprise!) – molest more Catholic boys. This is sufficient to indict the Pope – in any jurisdiction – for either sexual crime as accessory before the fact, or for conspiracy to commit sexual crime. In permitting the Pope and other clerical criminals in effect “legal sanctuaryâ€? in our churches, are we being hypocrites, or simply ‌ fools? I vote for – and deplore – both. ROBERT R.

1963 letter indicates ex-pope knew of abuse LOS ANGELES (AP) – The head of a Roman Catholic order that specialized in the treatment of pedophile priests visited with then-Pope Paul VI nearly 50 years ago and followed up with a letter recommending the removal of pedophile priests from ministry, according to a copy of the letter released Wednesday. In the Aug. 27, 1963 let-

Tod Tamberg, spokesman for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, defended the church and said it was unlikely Paul VI ever saw the letter. “The fact of the matter is, the prevailing ideas at the time about how to deal with abusive behavior were not adequate,� Tamberg said.

ter, the head of the New Mexico-based Servants of the Holy Paraclete tells the pope he recommends removing pedophile priests from active ministry and strongly urges defrocking repeat offenders. The letter, written by the Rev. Gerald M.C. Fitzgerald, appears to have been drafted at the request of the pope and summarizes Fitzgerald’s thoughts on

Photo shows Rowan Towers at 620 W. State Street, in Trenton, N.J., on Wednesday. The building was the site of a party where police say a 15-year-old sold her 7-year-old stepsister to have sex with as many as seven men and boys.

Police: NJ teenager sold stepsister, 7, for party sex TRENTON, N.J. (AP) – It started with a party invitation to a 15-year-old girl from some young men she knew. She took her 7year-old stepsister to an apartment down the street from their home near the New Jersey Statehouse, where the girls had been hanging around outside on a Sunday afternoon. For the younger girl, police say it quickly descended into a horrifying ordeal in which she was gang-raped by as many as seven men as her sister not only watched, but got paid by those who did it. Their parents, none the wiser, thought may-

be they had run away. “We’re talking about a kid who told her sister to go into an apartment and let people rape her,� said Trenton police Capt. Joseph Juniak. “It’s unfathomable.� The teen has been charged with aggravated sexual assault, promoting prostitution and other crimes. Her name was not released because of her age, but the county prosecutor plans to ask the court to try her as an adult. In the meantime, she is being held at the Mercer County Youth Detention Center.

turn home by 4:30 Sunday afternoon, their parents called police, believing the older one had run away from home and taken her younger sister with her. In fact, they were down the street inside a 13th floor apartment at Rowan Towers, a nearby highrise complex so dangerous that Trenton police are hired as security guards at night. “They keep it clean on the outside, but it’s what’s on the inside that you have to worry about,� said neighbor William Johnson, who says police are coming out of the building all the time.

.ATIONAL (WY 4HOMASVILLE s 4

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – Give people their money. It’s the rallying cry of lawmakers around the country pushing back against states that are delaying tax refunds to shore up their budgets. Holding on to the refunds allows states to use the money for other purposes, earn interest on it or simply wait until there’s enough cash to cover the checks. But the cost can be an unhappy public. “It’s not the state’s money, it’s the people’s money,� said Missouri Rep. Jason Smith, R-Salem. “It’s money they’ve overpaid to the state, and they deserve to get their money back in a prompt time.�

Heart of Triad public hearing set for April 22 BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

AT A GLANCE

GREENSBORO – For six years, advocates and skeptics of plans for the area known as the Heart of the Triad along the Guilford-Forsyth County line have invested hundreds of volunteer hours in the effort. Later this month, the public will have a chance to see a status report on the campaign. A public meeting on the draft plan for the 18,000-acare Heart of the Triad area will be held from 4-7 p.m. April 22 at Bunker Hill United Methodist Church at 1510 Bunker Hill Road in Kernersville. The 30-page draft plan features detailed suggestions on long-range topics such as land use, economic development opportunities, preservation of open space and roadways. Members of the Heart of the Triad Strategic Planning Committee discussed the plan during their meeting Wednesday in Greensboro, assisted by planners from area counties and cities. The Heart of the Triad is a cooperative effort of the two counties and municipalities of High Point, Greensboro, Kernersville,

The Heart of the Triad Strategic Planning Committee has developed a draft plan for an approximately 18,000-acre area along the Guilford-Forsyth County line. To view the plan, check the Web site http://www.partnc.org/HOT. html and go to the Heart Document Archive. The Heart of the Triad could become a mix of residential, retail and commercial development, along with preserving some land for open space. Most of the land in the area is now used for farming or is open space.

Winston-Salem and Oak Ridge. More than half of the acreage in the Heart of the Triad is proposed for residential use or open space, respecting the heritage of the area, said Dick Hails, Greensboro planning director. Most of the business development is proposed along Interstate 40 west of Piedmont Triad International Airport, along N.C. 66 in Kernersville

and around the Dell Inc. plant in southeastern Forsyth County. The area, which now has employers with 13,000 jobs, could grow to create opportunities for 82,000 jobs, said Jeff Hatling, Kernersville planning director. More than 4,000 acres would be freed up for business development. The Strategic Planning Committee doesn’t have any authority over zoning or land use. Instead, it will make recommendations to the seven county and municipal governments that do have authority to set policies. The goal is to coordinate land-use, development and preservation in the Heart of the Triad. Several years ago, the Heart of the Triad effort was gridlocked in controversy because residents of the area didn’t believe their concerns were being taken into account. That situation has changed for the better, said Pat Schreiber, a Forsyth County resident. “We’ve spent two years producing a document no one thought would come to pass. This should serve as a model for other development,” Schreiber said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

We’re hoping kids will be excited and it will just add to the excitement when they come to the library.” The children’s room, which is on the first floor of the library, houses books, videos, books on tape, puzzles and serves as a space where children can do homework and have quiet time as well, Zola said. It is separate from the library’s story room, which hosts various programs for children. Speaking in support of funding for the project, long-time educator and civic leader Dot Kearns said “let’s work together to make our central library an engaging and exciting place for our children and youth to develop their reading and critical thinking skills. This special entrance to the children’s library will set the stage for exciting discovery, reading, and learning, all of which can be found within the children’s library.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

NC city charged up for electric car development GASTONIA (AP) – Forty miles ... 100 miles ... 200 miles ... A new generation of fully electric vehicles claims the ability to cover that much ground on a single charge, which would easily get most Americans to work and back without having to plug in. But so far, the batteries powering EVs haven’t gone the distance at a cost that most U.S. drivers can handle. That’s why research taking place at FMC Lithium’s Center for Lithium Energy and Advanced Research (CLEAR) has put Bessemer City on the road map to EV development. Manufacturers of rechargeable lithium ion batteries from all over the world have visited the CLEAR facility. And growth in the market for lithium ion batteries will soon be driven by demand for large-format batteries that are safe, compact, light-weight, long-lasting and priced reasonably enough to attract car buyers, FMC officials say. “It’s exciting when you have people coming from all over the world to Bessemer City to visit this facility,� said Brian Fitch, a Cherryville native and Appalachian State-trained chemist working in the CLEAR facility. FMC Lithium opened that facility in September 2008. FMC Lithium ‘s Bessemer City plant on N.C. 161 employs about 240 people making lithium products with numerous applications, including grease and lubricants, polymers and pharmaceuticals. Kings Mountain has large deposits of lithium, but FMC hasn’t mined in this

with much of that growth generated by consumer demand for electric cars, Norris said. “That market hasn’t developed yet,� Norris said, “but the consumer interest is there.� The near collapse of domestic automakers last year along with a renewed focus on curbing climate-changing greenhouse gases has fueled a growing interest in electric vehicles stateside. The federal government is offering tax breaks to consumers that buy alternative fuel vehicles and pouring billions of

How do men on death row get their toenails cut? Are they actually given sharp objects to do it for themselves? I can’t figure it out. – Perplexed in Southwest Florida Dear Perplexed: Your question is one I have pondered for some time, as well. Because men on death row are not supposed to have sharp objects, they take turns chewing each other’s toenails off. I have this on good authority – and I’m not conning you. Dear Abby: I have fallen deeply in love with a homeless man, and I have been trying unsuccessfully to convince him to move in with me for some time, but he just won’t

leave his cardboard box. He says it has sentimental value that I just don’t understand. Please help me, Abby. What should I do? – Carla in Washington State Dear Carla: Try this. Have him move his cardboard box into your home, then he won’t have to give it up and can spend as much time as he needs in it. Then slowly coax him out of his box for longer and longer periods of time, and you’ll both have what you want. Good luck. Dear Abby: I want to marry a nice, sweet girl who just completed her prison sentence for abandoning her illegitimate kid. My problem is, my dad sells drugs, my mother died in an asylum of syphilitic insanity, my two sisters are hookers and my older brother is awaiting trial for killing his girlfriend’s husband. My younger brother is a U.S. congressman. Should I tell my future bride the awful truth about my younger brother? – Pete W., Gilchrist, Texas Dear Pete: Absolutely!

dollars into research to develop new energy platforms. This November, Chevrolet is planning to launch the Volt, which drives up to 40 miles on an electric battery before a backup combustion engine takes over. And Nissan is touring the U.S. with prototypes of the Leaf, an EV advertising 100 miles on a single charge. Both of those vehicles run on lithium ion batteries, but neither manufacturer has suggested a price.

SMITHFIELD (AP) – A North Carolina man convicted in the murders of a couple who owned a mobile home park where he lived apologized Wednesday to the victims’ family as they struggled to tell a judge about the pain the deaths brought. George Goode, convicted in the beating and stabbing deaths of Leon and Margaret Batten, said he was there when they were killed, but didn’t participate. “The only thing I know that I did do is that I did not act,� Goode said in Johnston County court. Goode, 40, was one of three men, including his brother, convicted. He originally was sentenced to death, but a federal judge vacated that sentence last year, citing ineffective attorneys. Wednesday’s hearing was about whether Goode should now serve backto-back life sentences or simultaneous ones after prosecutors decided not

to seek the death penalty again. District Attorney Susan Doyle declined to say why she wasn’t seeking the death sentence now. Doyle listed by name almost 15 members of the Batten family who were in court, and Goode apologized to them, saying hearing their stories caused him grief. He also apologized to his own family. “But there are two families here today,� he said. “I brought shame to our door. ... But I did not kill anyone.� Nephew Charlie S. Batten talked about how the entire community was affected. “I had never run into a locked door until the night of Feb. 29, 1992,� he said, explaining that his wife locked the door to their home while he was gone. “And it wasn’t just my door that needed a key to get into after that night. ... It changed that part of the world. And we all lost from that standpoint.�

Torticollis twists neck, head

D

ear Dr. Donohue: My 26-year-old grandson has been diagnosed with torticollis. Please share information about his condition and its treatment. – E.S. Torticollis is a twisting of the neck. The head is bent to the side, the front or the back. It’s one of the dystonia illnesses. Dystonias are a group of illnesses where involuntary and forceful muscle contractions contort body parts into sometimes painful and always abnormal postures. Your grandson’s dystonia is limited to his neck muscles. The cause of most dystonias is unknown. However, treatments are available. Injections of Botox into the contracting muscles can relax them for months at a time. Baclofen and clonazepam are examples of oral medicines that might stop the contractions. There are others. Deep brain stimulation, sometimes used for Parkinson’s disease, is another treatment. Selective surgery is another way to free a person from the grasp of dystonia. Dystonias are more common than readers realize. Eyelid dystonia – blepharospasm – causes constant blinking to the point that, at times, a person is virtually blind. Musicians have had to contend with dystonias of the hands and fingers that have put their careers in jeopardy. Your grandson will do himself a huge favor by contacting Spasmodic Torticollis/Dystonia.

spreading information on this malady and helping its victims obtain the best HEALTH and latest treatment. Dr. Paul He can find Donohue the founda■■■ tion on the Internet at www.spasmodictorticollis.org. Its toll-free number is 888-445-4588. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am 77, and I have just been in the intensive-care unit for six days because of pericarditis. I was put on ibuprofen. Can you provide some explanation of this illness? – J.C. The heart sits in a two-layered baggie, the pericardium. It holds the heart in place. Between the two sheets of pericardium is a space containing a small amount of fluid, which allows frictionless gliding of the two sheets when the heart contracts and expands. Pericarditis is an inflammation of the adjacent surfaces of the pericardium. The inflammation produces chest pain, usually described as sharp and stabbing. Coughing, turning the chest or lying down worsens the pain. Sitting up and leaning forward relieves it. An EKG shows changes that are typical for pericarditis. Eighty percent of the time, the cause of pericarditis is a virus. Bacterial infections, tuberculosis, cancer and illnesses like rheumatoid arthritis

and lupus account for the other 20 percent of causes. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as your ibuprofen are often the only medicines needed to quiet pericarditis. For a few patients, however, the illness relapses over and over, and stronger medicines have to be used. In an even smaller number of patients, the inflammation leads to a discharge of fluid in the pericardial space. That, in turn, can press on the heart and interfere with blood pumping. In those instances, the fluid has to be removed. It appears that neither complication of pericarditis has happened to you. Dear Dr. Donohue: In my 39 years of practicing dentistry, I have seen many patients – including my wife – who are able to avoid aphthous mouth ulcers (canker sores) by not using toothpaste that contains sodium lauryl sulfate. Most major brands contain it. With a little searching, people can find brands that do not. – J.F.B, DDS Thank you so much, doctor. Readers and I greatly appreciate you taking the time to write. Those suffering from canker sores will appreciate your words even more. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

(AP) – The winners of the 2009 Peabody Awards, announced Wednesday, include the ABC sitcom “Modern Family,” Fox network’s “Glee,” CBS’ “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” and HBO’s “The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency.” The awards recognize achievement and public service by TV and radio stations, networks, producing organizations, individuals and the Internet. Other winners include the BBC’s dramatic reconstruction “The Day that

Lehman Died” and National Public Radio’s Web site. “To those who say all media content is the same, or presented from a single perspective, we offer this great range of material as a response,” said Horace Newcomb, director of the Peabody Awards, in a statement. “Our selections demonstrate that great work available in 2009 varied widely and appealed to viewers and listeners with very different tastes, interests and concerns,” he said.

New network promises to be all wild all the time SUE MANNING ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

OS ANGELES (AP) — Flip on the National Geographic Channel and you’ll find animals in the wild sharing time with shows on science, exploration, history and world culture. When you flip on Nat Geo WILD, soon to be available in the United States for the first time, it’ll be all wild, all the time – and available in HD. The 24-hour WILD was introduced in Hong Kong three years ago and is available in more than 50 countries, said Geoff Daniels, the executive in charge of programming for the new network. The United States will be added March 29, nine years after Nat Geo went on the air.

WILD has been one of fast growing National Geographic projects internationally, Daniels said. High definition makes the timing right and the viewing awesome, he said. High definition, Daniels said, gives filmmakers new power to peel back the mysteries of the wild world, including the daily struggles of life in the wild. “We’re not going to shy away from getting viewers closer to that experience,” he said. Daniels warned viewers that the new network isn’t about animals gone wild but animals IN the wild. “We are not aiming at kids, but night in and night out, there will be a lot of programming that parents and children alike can be really

comfortable coming to,” he said. “We’re not doing this for cheap thrills.” What will people see? Two new series on WILD are “Rebel Monkeys” and “Expedition Wild with Casey Anderson.” “Rebel Monkeys” looks at a sacred gang of monkeys who live at the Galta Temple in the Indian city of Jaipur. A drought has threatened their food supply and camera crews follow them as they search for food – and often find trouble – on the streets of the city. Anderson is a naturalist whose best friend and best man at his wedding is a 900pound grizzly bear named Brutus. His show looks at some of North America’s mightiest animals, including his pal.

Ghostwritten by Stephan Talty, it breaks little new ground but offers a compelling blow-by-blow narrative of the aborted hijacking, beginning with a radioed warning “Somali pirate, Somali pirate, coming to get you” from the gunmen’s skiff as they chased down the Maersk Alabama. The cargo ship’s crew hid below decks once the pirates boarded “in a giant life-anddeath game of hide-andseek,” tricked the pirates into believing the ship’s satellite radio was broken and faked a VHF radio transmission to make them believe the Navy was on the way before it was, according to Phillips. Once the plan was hatched to send the pirates off in a lifeboat, he gave them $30,000 in cash from a ship safe.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

OS ANGELES – The ‘80s were good to John Cusack. He was a teenager then, racking up acting credits in films such as “Sixteen Candles,” ‘’The Sure Thing,” ‘’Better Off Dead” and “Say Anything.” Now 43, Cusack returns to that storied decade on screen and off as the star and producer of “Hot Tub Time Machine,” a comic romp that brings four friends back to their youthful glory days via a mysterious Jacuzzi powered by Russian Red Bull and repaired by a cryptic Chevy Chase. In the film, opening Friday, Cusack and Chase, along with Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, Clark Duke and Crispin Glover, find themselves at a ski resort for Winterfest ’86, where Poison is the headlining band and Day-Glo is the fashion of choice. Cusack talked with The Associated Press about what he loved and hated about the ’80s and what he would do with a real time machine. AP: What made you want to go back to the 1980s? Cusack: I remember it being – obviously it was the formative years of my life because I was between 10 and 20 – but I don’t remember it being all that cheery a time, so I thought that having some actors who had been in movies back then, going back in time and actually being a movie within a movie, I thought that all that was part of the comic nightmare of it. AP: What were the most awesome things about the ’80s? Cusack: There was great music, great art, great literature, great films. Those are usually some of the things that I like. AP: Were you more Motley Crue or The Cure? Cusack: I was more of the Clash, Fishbone, The Jam. AP: You did not mention fashion as one of the awesome things about the ’80s. Cusack: I think that would have to fall under the terrifying things of the ’80s. The legwarmers, the scrunchies, the mullets, the primary colors. The list goes on and on. And I have a wide variety of fashion horror shows myself that’s available on cable, seemingly all the time. AP: If you had a real hot tub time machine that worked, where would you go and why? Cusack: It would be pretty fun if you could go back to when your favorite bands were first playing. Like if you were a drummer, you could go back to Liverpool right when the Beatles fired Pete Best and they’re looking for a drummer and replace Ringo Starr. There could be a couple historic opportunities there. Or you could go see the Rolling Stones’ first American tour or something, or see David Bowie or see the Sex Pistols when they first came to America at CBGBs. You could do an awesome rock ’n’ roll tour and see bands’ first explosions. You could also travel back in time and not meet people that you ended up meeting and going out with. You could avoid a few bad relationships by just actually not bumping into them, so that would be good.

FILM REVIEW

----

If you had a hot tub that could transport you to any era in time, would you really make a beeline for the ’80s? That’s where the filmmakers headed with “Hot Tub Time Machine,” a not-so-excellent, dude-where’s-myyouth adventure that’s occasionally amusing but mostly is as lazy, self-involved and garish as that chintzy decade itself. The ‘80s make an easy target, and casting John Cusack, one of the most enduring stars to rise from that decade, adds to the flashback and lends some assurance that you’re not forking money over for a hot tub and getting a rusty, leaky old claw foot tub instead. If this guy signed on, it can’t be as dumb as it sounds, right? Well, “Hot Tub Time Machine” pretty much is as dumb as it sounds, its goofy but potentially clever concept landing closer to the moronic monotony of “Dude, Where’s My Car?” than the inspired idiocy of “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.” Some of the trouble arises from Cusack’s castmates in this tale of four losers who travel back to 1986 to settle old scores and do a little messing with the timeline for personal profit. Cusack is fine, wandering the action like a manic Scrooge who has come back to see how he squandered his early promise with bad choices. As one of his buddies, Craig Robinson captures the same droll charm he brings as the warehouse foreman on “The Office.” But much of the story hinges on character actors Rob Corddry and Clark Duke, who overdo everything with a shrillness that makes the movie’s crass jokes and gags all the more obnoxious.

West was Mike Passell, who isn’t known for making errors. He did well to lead the ace of clubs and better to shift to the JACK of hearts. Dummy played low, and East, another top expert, followed with the seven. Passell next led the nine, but when East had to win with the ten, 3NT was unbeatable.

DAILY QUESTION

FIVE TRICKS

You hold: S A J 6 5 2 H K 5 4 3 2 D 2 C 6 5. Your partner opens one diamond, you respond one spade and he bids two clubs. What do you say?

East slipped; he must play the ten on the first heart. West can continue with the nine and six, giving the defense five tricks. In the replay, South opened one diamond, West bid one spade, North and East passed, South jumped to three diamonds and North converted to 3NT. East led the ten of clubs: king, ace. But West returned the jack of clubs, and North took a club, six diamonds and two spades. It’s a tough game!

ANSWER: This situation is potentially explosive. You have no trump fit, your high-card values are minimum and partner’s may be also. Though he might conceivably hold a hand with 0-4-5-4 distribution, you should pass. Don’t fight a misfit. Stop bidding before the opponents sense that you’re in distress and start to double. South 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.

Capsule reviews of films now at theaters “Chloe” – This sex thriller from director Atom Egoyan is a pure guilty pleasure, if you take away that part about pleasure. The devoted cast led by Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson and Amanda Seyfried really burrows into the roles, but the intense performances cannot conceal the fact that these characters are shallow narcissists at their best and outright crazy people at their worst. This marital story of infidelity, deceit and obsession is not much more absurd than “Fatal Attraction,” one of the great guilty pleasures in screen history. Yet the movie rings false from the moment suspicious wife Moore, convinced husband Neeson is cheating on her, hires call girl Seyfried to push the man’s buttons and see if it’s true. The characters are so abnormal and their situation so contrived that it’s impossible to sit back and enjoy the train wreck the way you can revel in Glenn Close murderously popping out of that bathtub one last time in “Fatal Attraction.” R for

istic visions. What’s curious about the supernatural elements is that their appearances feel more like ugly cameos of reality: In McPherson’s world, life is the dream from which the ghosts wake you. Rated R for language and some disturbing images. 88 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four. – Jake Coyle, AP Entertainment Writer

strong sexual content including graphic dialogue, nudity and language. 96 minutes. Two stars out of four. – David Germain, AP Movie Writer “The Eclipse” – The acclaimed Irish playwright Conor McPherson (“The Weir,” ‘’The Seafarer”) has crafted a film every bit as affecting and haunting as his plays. It’s a small, humble gem of a movie that in less than 1 1/2 hours proves McPherson’s talents for character and atmosphere fit the screen as much as they do the stage. Ciaran Hinds (“There Will Be Blood”) stars as Michael Farr, a father and widower living a quiet life in the Irish coastal city of Cobh. While volunteering for the city’s annual literary festival, he befriends a writer of ghost stories (Iben Hjejle), who, herself, is badgered by a former fling (Aidan Quinn). Michael, clinging to grief over his wife, is haunted by horrifying, real-

“How to Train Your Dragon” – DreamWorks Animation has been at the head of the pack for adorable, fast-talking critters with movies such as “Over the Hedge,” ‘’Kung Fu Panda” and the “Madagascar” series. With DreamWorks’ latest, writer-directors Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois tone down the glib factor and tell a pretty good action yarn, a boy-and-his-dragon story filled with fiery Viking battles, swordplay and dazzling aerial imagery. For small children, the movie may not rate as high on the laugh and sight-gag

meter as some of those earlier, more slapstick-y DreamWorks tales. After a slow, rather droning start, though, the film takes off on an exhilarating ride through the ancient Norse world, the hardscrabble landscape also a pleasant change from the softer realms of other cartoons. Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera and Gerard Butler lead the voice cast in the story of a misfit Viking teen who befriends a wounded dragon and discovers the beasts make better allies than enemies. PG for sequences of intense action and some scary images, and brief mild language. 98 minutes. Three stars out of four. – David Germain, AP Movie Writer “Vincere” – In Marco Bellocchio’s operatic historical melodrama, a beautiful woman, intoxicated by sexual desire and political sloganeering, abandons all judgment and reason, losing her money, her freedom and her son, in

that order. The woman, Ida Dalser, happened to fall for Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, and Bellocchio uses her delusion as a metaphor for the madness that befell his own country during Mussolini’s rise to power in the aftermath of World War I. Dalser’s story, suppressed during Mussolini’s rule, has come to light only fairly recently and, in Bellocchio’s riveting, cinematic film, makes for a harrowing tragedy on both a personal and global level. Giovanna Mezzogiorno plays Dalser with trembling emotion, but without the express interest in making the character a sympathetic heroine. Dasler’s continued belief that Mussolini will embrace her remains preposterous – as it should be. Unrated. Contains nudity, sexual situations and adult themes. In Italian with English subtitles. 128 minutes. Three stars out of four. – Glenn Whipp, for The Associated Press

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

High Point’s Olympic speedskating star Heather Richardson autographs Logan McCormick’s shirt during a Wednesday appearance at her old haunt, the Rol-A-Rink on N. Main Street. pair of top-10 finishes and a 16th in her Olympic debut. After completing her final World Cup events of the year in Europe just weeks after the Vancouver Games, Richardson headed home for a month of hard-earned rest and relaxation. She enjoyed a Cheerwine “as soon as possible,” Richardson said with a smile, and then began making numerous stops around town: talks with students at three elementary schools, the Rol-A-Rink event and a speedskating practice. Still to come are a chat with the High Point Swim Club and the Rotary Club next week. Pat Richardson has enjoyed having her daughter home – and being able to do a bit of mothering.

BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

NEW YORK – Three and a half weeks ago, when North Carolina was crushed at Duke by 32 points to cap one of the worst regular seasons in Tar Heels history, the players were at a loss about what would happen next. They knew they would get at least one more game in the ACC Tournament, which they lost to Georgia Tech, but after that nothing was guaranteed. But since slipping into the NIT as a fourth seed, UNC (20-

It’s been perfectly fine for Heather to pass the hours watching TV, eating without a care for her training schedule and meeting up with friends. But at the first mention of hitting the gym: “No, nothing! Enjoy your time off,” Pat said she ordered. “It’s good to have her home,” Pat added. “I’ve missed her so much. I don’t want her to go back – there’s going to be a lot of tears when that day comes.” Heather Richardson returns to Salt Lake City on April 18 to resume her training with US Speedskating. The World Cup and Sprint seasons loom, and the 20-year-old rising star hopes to get her times down in the 1,500 while continuing to improve in the 500 and 1,000 meters.

It’s all with an eye toward the 2014 Sochi Games, where Richardson hopes once again to captivate a city and perhaps this time an entire country. “Some of our younger skaters didn’t really know her, but they knew she had skated here,” said Hiatt, who has upwards of 70 youngsters in two speedskating clubs at RolA-Rink. “She was like this mythic person. That just gave everybody a sense of pride, not only skatingwise but in the city. We were excited to see her competing, and that she did so well.” Richardson took on a less-mythical persona Wednesday, chatting with all those in attendance while wearing jeans, an Olympic sweatshirt and

... no skates, just a pair of casual purple sneakers. Pat Richardson took in the scene with friends. “I feel like I’ve got to share her with everyone,” she said with a smile that seemed mostly happy. “It’s a weird feeling.” Hiatt watched the exuberant youngsters getting a moment with their new idol, wondering if another Heather Richardson might be in the crowd. “Sometimes it’s a shame to see that they have to leave home to pursue their dreams, but she was one of the ones who really took a chance and it worked out really well,” the Rol-ARink owner said. And when they do leave, it makes the homecomings all the more special. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

16) has gotten its second wind and has reeled off four straight victories for the first time since starting the season 4-0 to earn an unlikely spot in the championship game. The Tar Heels face third-seeded Dayton today at Madison Square Garden (7 p.m., ESPN) for a chance to capture the program’s second NIT championship. UNC won the title in 1971, when only one team per conference was allowed into the NCAA Tournament. “We didn’t know whether we would be playing still or not,” UNC point guard Larry Drew II said. “We

didn’t even know if we would make the NIT. But we did know that we did want to make the NIT and if we had a chance to play in this tournament, we wanted to make an impact on the tournament.” For Dayton (24-12), playing in the NIT is familiar territory. The Flyers have made 22 appearances in the NIT, second only to the 27 of St. John’s, and won titles in 1962 and 1968. This year’s Dayton squad got off to a solid start that included a victory over Georgia Tech in November before stumbling in the final month and a half of the regular season.

Tyler Zeller and his North Carolina teammates look to show their stuff against Dayton in the NIT title game tonight in Madison Square Garden.

hirteen days ago, Heather Richardson returned to High Point following her Olympic odyssey. Her homecoming didn’t truly come full circle, though, until she arrived at the RolA-Rink oval Wednesday evening. “This is the first time I’ve been back here,” SPORTS Richardson said. “It Steve feels like Hanf home. I ■■■ was in here every weekend when I was little. It’s where I grew up.” Red, white and blue balloons decorated the iconic skating center and a large sheet cake displayed the Olympic rings. A throng of kids zoomed up and down the rink on their inline skates, flocking to Richardson for autographs of skates, helmets and photographs. Eleven years ago, Richardson was starting out on her inline skates at Rol-A-Rink with coach Scott Hiatt. Four years ago she was part of the enthusiastic group of kids clamoring for a moment with Greensboro’s Joey Cheek following his race to Olympic glory. Two months ago, there was Richardson performing in the 500-, 1,000- and 1,500-meter long-track speedskating races for Team USA in Vancouver. “It’s awesome,” Richardson said of Wednesday’s atmosphere. “I know when Joey Cheek came back they were doing the exact same thing, and I didn’t win a gold medal like Joey. I was one of the girls chasing after Joey. Hopefully it helps some of the girls get motivated.” Richardson’s visits home have been few and far between since she graduated from High Point Central in 2007 and embarked on a journey that would end with a

TOP SCORES

6-foot-8 freshman has led Baylor to great NCAA Tournament heights this season. Normally, when we talk about a 6-8 player, we’re discussing men’s basketball. In this case, the 6-8 freshman phenom drawing defensive comparisons to a young Bill Russell stars for the Bears’ women’s team. Brittney Griner sank the go-ahead turnaround jumper with 45 seconds left to spark the fourth-seeded Bears past second-seeded

Duke 51-48 in the Memphis Regional final on Monday. Griner finished with 15 points, 11 rebounds and nine blocked shots to just miss her third triple-double of the season. It’s the blocked shots that draw the most attention for Griner. She’s set an NCAA Tournament record 35 through four games. On the season, she’s swatted 218. Griner’s unique defensive talents could be the only thing standing between the UConn women and a perfect season.

I don’t see anybody denying the Huskies that undefeated season and national title, unless Griner blocks double-digit shots, alters another 15 or 20 more and keeps Baylor close enough to pull a stunning upset in Sunday night’s national semifinal in San Antonio. It’s highly unlikely, but the fact we’re even suggesting the possibility shows how big an impact Griner already has made on the women’s game.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Senior Jesse Cherry of the High Point University men’s track & field team has been named Big South Conference Athlete of the Week, the league announced on Wednesday. Cherry set the HPU record of 28:44.03 in the 10,000 meters while finishing sixth at the Stanford Invitational last Friday. Cherry’s time ranks sixth in the nation. He broke his own HPU record of 28:59.16, which he set at the Stanford Invitational last year. The school record was 30:29.26 set by Tamas Kovacs at Wake Forest in 2007. Cherry is the defending Big South champ in the 10,000. Cherry broke his own HPU indoor record in the 5,000 when he ran 14:02.86 at the Washington Husky Classic.

OF NOTE: Schwartz’ tee shot left him in the first cut of rough 210 yards to the green. The second shot was into the wind. “It kicked left and kept rolling and went in,” Schwartz said. “But, I was unsure of it at first. It went into the shadows and kept rolling and disappeared. I wasn’t total sure where it went. But, I got to the hole and there it was. I’ll never do anything like that again in my life.”

Hornaday Jr. braces for Truck Series payback by Sauter

P

aybacks in racing can be heck, as the saying goes. Ron Hornaday Jr. expects one from Johnny Sauter somewhere along the line. He just hopes Sauter waits until they get back to a short track and it isn’t bad enough to derail his efforts to win a second straight championship and third in four years for Kernersvillebased Kevin Harvick Inc. Hornaday turned Sauter around in the closing stages of Saturday’s Truck race at Martinsville. Sauter was able to continue and bluntly expressed his displeasure when he confronted Hornaday on pit road after the 250-lap event ended. When the payback comes, Hornaday hopes Sauter exacts his revenge on a short track instead of a large speedway a la Carl Edwards sending Brad Keselowski for a wild ride at Atlanta. “Johnny and I had a little conversation at the end of the race,� Hornaday said. “I got into him and spun him out and he was pretty upset. He’s one of those drivers that will pay you back some day, and hopefully it’s the same way that I got him at Martinsville or something like that where nobody gets hurt. I know he’ll pay me back; when, I don’t know, but all we can do is go out and race hard and do what we’ve got to do.� Getting into Sauter was a product of Sauter having a slower truck, Hornaday claimed. Hornaday

was trying to work his way to the front after starting 31st when the starting lineup was SPORTS set by the rule book Greer following Smith a rainout. ■■■He got his starting position as a past series champion because Harvick shifted the points Hornaday earned last year to Harvick’s entry. “You don’t go out there to wreck a guy,� Hornaday said. �You go out there to race him hard. Johnny is a racer and he knows how to race, he races as hard as I do, if not harder. He knows what happens in the car and I do, too. “So whatever repercussions happen happens. I didn’t go out there so say I needed a second spot. I needed points and a good top-5 and I got it done, that’s all I can tell you. It’s not that I was in a corner and knocked him out of the way and he hit the fence. It’s just I got on the gas earlier than he did two or three times. The line was still turning and he got on the gas at the same time I touched him and he spun.� Hornaday finished second behind team owner Kevin Harvick jumped to 12th in points, 178 behind leader Timothy Peters heading into Friday’s 200-mile race at Nashville Superspeedway.

Ron Hornaday Jr. holds the trophy after winning the AAA Insurance 200 Camping World Series truck race in this July 24, 2009 photo in Indianapolis. Hornaday may want to check his insurance as he bumped Johnny Sauter at Saturday’s race in Martinsville. Hornaday knows paybacks can be rough in this sport. races left in the season, he’s far from worried bad luck in the first two races will keep him from winning another title. “The way the season started, we can’t go by that,� Hornaday said. “This is just two of 25 races we run. We had three or four bad races last year, and I think we’ll be fine as long as Johnny Sauter doesn’t pay me back too bad.� Friday’s race will be the first Truck event in the spring at Nashville, which previously hosted its lone Truck race in

the summer each year. Hornaday won at the 1.33-mile concrete track year’s running of an August race, which will return this year. Harvick is also entered. “It’s kind of cool to pass Kevin as an owner,� Hornaday said. �What’s so good about with Kevin, he knows what it takes to win. He gives us equipment and puts the people in the right places. I feel like a broken record, but I wouldn’t be sitting here if it wasn’t for Kevin. He definitely gives me the equipment to run up

front and it makes the sponsor and myself shine, that’s what’s so good about it.�

Glenn’s Reavis steps down to take NW Guilford post BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – Homecoming celebrations usually occur in the fall, which means Lee Reavis will be celebrating a homecoming of his own a little early – or late, depending on how one looks at it. Reavis announced his resignation Wednesday as varsity boys basketball head coach of Glenn High School to take over the same position at Northwest Guilford. Reavis spent the last 10 years at Glenn and served as head coach of the Bobcats the past seven, but he graduated from Northwest in 1988. “Going back to my alma mater, I still live in the area and that was a factor in it, too,” Reavis said. “I talked to my wife,

my mom and dad, prayed about it a lot. It was a tough, tough decision. It felt right. I’m excited about the opportunity to come back and be involved in the community at Northwest and get involved in building the basketball program here.” Reavis replaces Manny Bloom, who resigned the day after the Vikings capped a 12-16 season with a second-round playoff loss. The 2009-10 school year marks the first of four seasons the Vikings and Bobcats will compete against each other in the Piedmont Triad 4A Conference. “They wished me well in all the games next year except in the two or three we’ll see each other,” Reavis said of the reaction from Glenn players and coaches. In his seven seasons with the Bobcats, Reavis compiled a record of 117-70, in-

cluding last winter’s 11-12 mark. He also served as an assistant football coach and assistant athletic director during the spring season. Reavis will finish out the school year at Glenn, where he teaches in the physical education department, before moving to a combination PE/In-School Suspension position at Northwest in the fall. The 39-year-old coach thanked the Glenn administration for giving him the chance to lead the program. Long-time Bobcats’ athletic director Marty Stanley praised Reavis’ strong leadership during his tenure. “Our players were visibly upset when he addressed the team, and part of that is the fact he was such a positive role model for our players,” said Stanley,

who hopes to have a new coach in place by the first or second week of May. “He provided a tremendous amount of leadership to his players. He was always there when they needed someone and he always tried to instill in his players the importance of being a good person and having great character. “He did all the little things that go unnoticed,” Stanley continued in a statement released Wednesday. “You could always count on him to get the job done. In speaking with several of our coaches, they were heart-broken to know that Lee was leaving. He was just a great person to be around and he treated everyone with respect. You always hate to lose a good person.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

DVD piracy infests Spanish market BY BEN FRITZ LOS ANGELES TIMES

Picasso and bullfighting are cultural touchstones in Spain. Now add Internet piracy. The downloading and streaming of movies and television shows from the Web is a growing problem for the entertainment industry around the world. In a few key countries such as Spain, however, it has become what

Hollywood executives are calling an epidemic that is forcing movie studios to consider no longer selling DVDs in the country. A cavalier attitude toward piracy has made it mainstream behavior in Spain. “Almost everybody I know downloads movies,” said 45-year-old Mercedes Carrasco, a student from Caceres who downloads about two movies each week.

Auction assists UAW health fund DETROIT (AP) – A union trust fund that pays the health care bills for retired Ford factory workers raised $1.78 billion by selling warrants to buy the automaker’s stock.

They can be exercised any time between now and the end of 2012. More than 200,000 retirees and their spouses are covered by the trust, which started paying their health care costs in January after Ford began transferring to the fund cash and other assets, including the warrants.

Stocks post 1Q gain NEW YORK (AP) – The stock market is taking some ages-old advice to heart: everything in moderation. Stocks on Wednesday ended a first quarter that many investors and analysts would describe as healthy. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index is up 4.9 percent by amassing a string of steady gains that were far from the supersized jumps seen in 2009. The Dow Jones industrials are up 4.1 percent, but with unremarkable gains of 50 points here and 15 there. They’ve had few of the triple-digit swings that used to be commonplace. The market’s relative tranquility has made many analysts upbeat about the chances that its gains will hold. They say investors now have realistic not overoptimistic expectations. And the market has gotten used to the idea of a bumpy economic recovery, including the continuing struggles of the housing market. But analysts warn, for stocks to extend their JanuaryMarch gains, investors will need to see employers hiring again. Even then, the market is expected to take its time. The Dow fell 51 points, or 0.5 percent, to 10,856.63 Wednesday but still posted its best first quarter since 1999. It is approaching 11,000 for the first time in a year and a half.

Fed official: Record low rates still needed WASHINGTON (AP) – Rock-bottom interest rates are still needed to aid the economic recovery, but there’s a chance that the Federal Reserve may have to start raising rates before the nation’s unem-

The unemployment rate now stands at 9.7 percent. ployment rate drops significantly, a Federal Reserve official said Wednesday. Dennis Lockhart, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, said the Fed is right to pledge to keep rates at record lows for an “extended period.” But he – as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke did last week – said that doesn’t mean a specific time period or number of meetings. Some analysts have

taken it to mean around six months. After suffering from the worst and longest recession since the 1930s, the economy seems to be on a path for moderate growth, a little below a 3 percent pace for the January-to-March quarter, Lockhart said in a speech to business people meeting in Hartford, Conn. “It’s quite possible the recovery could be well advanced before any significant reduction of unemployment materializes,” Lockhart said. “It’s also quite possible circumstances justifying the start of a cycle of policy tightening will develop well before the unemployment rate has found a satisfactory level,” he added. The unemployment rate now stands at 9.7 percent. The Fed, along with many private economists, predict the jobless rate will stay high over the next two years because economic growth won’t be robust enough to drive it down quickly.

Factory orders increase for 10th time in 11 months WASHINGTON (AP) – Factory orders rose in February, bolstered by strong demand for industrial machinery and commercial aircraft. It was the 10th increase in 11 months as manufacturing continues to provide crucial support for the nation’s economic recovery. “We’re not a red-hot economy,” said Tim Quinlan, an economist at Wells Fargo. “But the recovery is still plodding along.” Manufacturers, which were hit hard by the recession, are benefiting from overseas orders and increased business spending on capital equipment. Quinlan estimates factory

The Commerce Department said Wednesday new orders rose 0.6 percent last month, just ahead of ana-

lysts’ estimates for a 0.5 percent increase, according to Thomson Reuters. Still, that was the lowest uptick since August 2009. January’s orders also were revised higher to show an increase of 2.5 percent, the department said.

RI governor calls flooding worst in 200 years CRANSTON, R.I. (AP) – Flooding on a scale rarely seen in New England forced hundreds of people from their homes and businesses Wednesday, overwhelmed sewage systems and isolated communities as it washed out bridges and rippled across thoroughfares from Maine to Connecticut. Three days of recordbreaking rains tapered to

a drizzle, then stopped before the waters in hard-hit Rhode Island finally crested. But authorities across New England warned the flooding – far worse than an indundation two weeks ago in the same areas – could linger for days. Rhode Island experienced what the governor called its worst flooding in more than 200 years. The swollen Pawtuxet River threatened to col-

lapse a bridge in the town of Coventry. A stretch of the main East Coast highway, Interstate 95, shut down, and Amtrak suspended some trains on its busy Northeast lines. Every resident of Rhode Island, a state of about 1 million, was asked to conserve water and electricity because of flooded sewage systems and electrical substations.

Autopsy shows SeaWorld trainer died of trauma, drowning ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – A SeaWorld Orlando trainer attacked by a killer whale died of drowning and blunt-force trauma to her head, neck and torso, an autopsy released Wednesday showed. The report by the Medical Examiner’s Office ruled Dawn Brancheau’s official cause of death as drowning and traumatic injuries. Her death was ruled an accident, and toxicology tests found no drugs in her system.

The killer whale snatched the 40year-old trainer from a poolside platform in its jaws and thrashed her around underwater, killing her in front of a horrified audience Feb. 24. It marked the third time the animal, named Tilikum, had been involved in a human death. SeaWorld Orlando spokeswoman Becca Bides said the park did not have any comment on the autopsy.
