Analysts say price of oil will determine how much motorists, fliers pay BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – The price of that most critical global commodity – oil – will help determine how much travelers in the region pay this summer when they journey by car or plane. Travel industry analysts already are trying to gauge the expected level of activity and vacation costs for the all-important summer travel season. The wild card in the equation is what level oil prices – and, in turn, gas and jet fuel prices – will reach, said Tom Crosby, a vice president with AAA Carolinas out of Charlotte. “The predictions that the economy is going to improve mean that investors are investing in barrels of oil. That results in higher fuel prices,” Crosby said. “The more we predict the economy will recover, the more it will cost to fly and drive.” On Friday, benchmark crude ended trading at $84.92 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Though the price of oil is up this year, it’s still trading far below levels of two years ago when prices per barrel reached nearly $150, pushing retail gas prices above $4 per gallon. Two competing forces are tugging at the direction of the summer travel season, said Ted Johnson, executive director of Pied-

Torrence is an administrative support specialist/ VA certifying official in the North Carolina A&T State University’s Veteran and Disability Support Services Office.

AT A GLANCE

–

North Carolina motorists are paying an average of 75 cents more per gallon for gas than this time last year. The owner of an average sedan driving 15,000 miles in a year can expect to pay 61 cents per mile to drive in 2010 compared to 56 cents last year. The average sedan in 2010, driven 15,000 miles, will cost $9,098 to drive based on current prices, compared to $8,399 last year.

INSIDE

–

The increase can be largely attributed to a rise in the price of regular unleaded gasoline from $2.02 per gallon in April 2009 to $2.78 per gallon this April. However, the average remains less than April 2008, when gas was $3.59 for a gallon of self-serve regular unleaded.

City tells agencies to expect less funding BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – For local agencies that rely on the city for a portion of their budgets, prospects aren’t bright for the coming fiscal year. That was the message that emerged from the City Council’s recent session on outside agency funding requests. Several organizations, primarily nonprofits that have missions involving the arts, made pitches to the council, which received a total of $255,563 in requests from 10 agen-

cies, a decrease from the $261,724 that was approved a year ago. The city asked the agencies to cut back on their requests and put them on notice that they can expect cuts once the budget is finalized in June. “All of you know, of course, that funds are dreadfully scarce,” said Mayor Becky Smothers. The High Point Area Arts Council trimmed its grant request by 5 percent per the city’s request, to $117,063, according to Executive Director Debbie Lumpkins. City funding of the Arts

Council supports five community-based arts organizations, and the agency has been able to add new programs each year, she said. With more funding, it could add features such as an arts center at its N. Main Street property, where it leases 10,000 of the available 38,000 square feet. “Imagine what we could do with a Community Arts Center? Every week, I have to say ‘no’ to a request for the Arts Council to host a poetry reading or a bluegrass concert or a jam session for high school students because High Point

does not have an arts center,” Lumpkins told the council. “We are truly sensitive to the city’s budget constraints, however the Arts Council is constantly being asked to do more with less, and I don’t know how we can keep up this pace.” The council heard firsttime requests from the Rosetta C. Baldwin Foundation and Museum ($35,000) and the Piedmont Triad Film Commission ($15,000), which works to bring film shoots to the area – something that has a substantial impact on the local economy, it was argued.

“As one of the key major cities that we promote, we feel like with what you spend, you’ll definitely get a return on that investment,” said Rebecca Clark, director of the film commission. But with the city facing a multi-million dollar budget deficit, agencies like the film commission could face an uphill battle. “Personally, I can’t support funds for an organization this time around that didn’t get funding last year,” said Councilman Chris Whitley. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – These days, cities the size of High Point must have a presence in Washington or risk losing out on big money, city officials say. Municipal lobbyists like The Ferguson Group help cities navigate access to funds by working with Congress and federal agencies. They track bills through the legislative process and keep

tabs on regulators. “If we’re not there, we can’t participate. We won’t know what the rules are, and we won’t have access,” said City Manager Strib Boynton. The city hired The LOBBYING Ferguson Group in ON THE HILL 2004 to help bring in untapped fedA new eral dollars. Since approach that time, the city to city has paid the firm government $673,000. In return, ■■■ it has seen projects like the U.S. 311 Bypass, the downtown transportation terminal and the Airport Area Roadway come to fruition.

In addition to reaping financial rewards, there’s another reason for having a lobbyist in Washington, said High Point City Councilman Chris Whitley. The firm can alert city officials to developments they might oppose, such as possible legislation that would require local governments to recognize or collectively bargain with public sector employee unions. “That will be a multi-million dollar cost to our city as well as other cities across the state of North Carolina,” said City Councilman Chris Whitley. “They let us know what’s detrimental to the city of High Point. There’s just no way we can keep up with all the bills going through and the effects of what will happen to the city.”

postal workers had already sustained “nasty injuries” at the address in the town of Farsley, near Leeds in northern England. The woman was identified as a 43-year-old pharmacy worker. Media reports say she

found it hard to believe that her cat, named “Tiger,” could be behind the attacks. She told two newspapers the animal spent most of its day sleeping and didn’t have the energy to chase postal workers.

USPS [243-580]

$1 billion last year shows they see a dwindling number of options to fix the state’s fiscal problems. “The aversion to increasing taxes right now is at full-bore odds with cutting a program that’s already been cut too much,” said Rep. Pryor Gibson, D-Anson, cochairman of the House Finance Committee. “This is way beyond the lesser of two evils.” The concept isn’t entirely new in North Carolina, one of 44 states that have at least one kind of Medicaid-related provider tax, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. A state usually levies the tax on a broad class of medical providers. All Florida hospitals, for example, are charged 1.5 percent of their annual net operating revenues.

BOTTOM LINE

ACCURACY

RALEIGH (AP) – The Legislature socked it to retail customers, smokers, drinkers and big earners with higher taxes last year to help close a budget gap calculated by Democrats at more than $4 billion. Could hospitals or doctors’ offices be next? Legislative leaders are returning to Raleigh early to begin adjusting the second year of the state’s twoyear budget and they’re intrigued by a hospital or provider tax or fee because it could draw down three times as much extra money in federal matching funds for Medicaid. It’s one of several options they’ll examine to help close another budget gap starting July 1 that ranging from $700 million to $1.2 billion. Medicaid, the state-federal health care program for the poor, is on track to be $475 million over budget in North Carolina next fiscal year as more – and apparently sicker – patients enroll, legislative staff members told budget-writers last week. “It’s worth considering,” said Senate Majority Leader Martin Nesbitt, DBuncombe. “Medicaid is there to serve the people and we’ve gone past the point, in my opinion, of being able to serve people appropriately. We’ve cut to that point.” Hospital and doctors’ lobbying groups in North Carolina oppose the idea, although they would receive higher Medicaid

Health care law will result in deficit reduction Since the health care law passed, I’m hearing people wailing about Armageddon, dictatorships, totalitarianism and the end of our freedom. Of course, these are the same Obama haters who told us the lies about death panels and pulling the plug on grandma. Richard Angel (Your View, March 31) fumes about Congress “blindly accepting” the Congressional Budget Office estimates on the new health care law. Many people, especially Fox News viewers, don’t know this because Fox News owner, radical conservative Rupert Murdock won’t let his network tell them, but the CBO calculated that the health care law will actually decrease the national debt by about $130 billion dollars in it’s first 10 years. That eliminates one of Angel’s excuses to hate Obama, so Angel condemns the CBO! When President Bush was pushing through his tax cuts for the rich, that same Congressional Budget Office calculated that it would increase the national debt by $1.2 trillion dollars. The CBO was right! It did. That didn’t stop Republicans from supporting it to this day. How people could support a law that increased our debt by $1.2 trillion dollars, yet unanimously oppose a law that decreases our debt by even one dollar while helping millions of Americans live longer and have a better quality of life defines belief! It also defies most definitions of human compassion that some people are so full of raw hatred that they are willing to let fellow Americans suffer needlessly and die too young because they can’t see or think beyond their own blind hatred. As more people realize the sky is not falling and their families have better access to health care thanks to this law, those who spread hate and anger will look more and more foolish!

ited mixed-race marriages. Today, most people marry spouses who are of the same race, but we no longer outlaw marriages that cross racial lines. Many Christians believe that the New Testament requires them to oppose the recognition of civil marriage of same-sex couples under state and federal law. Many other Christians believe in the separation of church and state. They believe that churches and temples should remain free to decline to perform same-sex weddings, but state and federal government should not have laws that prohibit civil marriage between two consenting adults. They believe that in a democracy where the majority rules, the majority has a responsibility to protect rights of minorities. Same-sex couples will always be a minority, but we in the majority should protect minority rights, too. Having known a number of gay couples who are in long-term, loving, committed, monogamous relationships, I have become convinced that such relationships are no danger to my marriage or to other straight marriages. We should recognize their right to civil marriage. LINDA STROUPE Greensboro

Jesus frees the sin

Jesus-resurrected blood is the cure for all manner of disease, habits, personalities and reasons for human livelihood (health cares). The blood of Jesus frees the sin from every race (Jew, Gentile), color (one-sixteenth of an inch of outer skin), nationality (religions), gender (male, female), sexuality (homosexual, heterosexual) and all anti-Christian lifestyles. The anti-Christ system is designed for the people, by the people and of the people, to be destroyed through the people with a government that agrees to disagree with “God’s Holy Word” (the Bible) and the lifestyle of Jesus Christ. Many military (lawful professional soldiers) and all militias (unlawful professional soldiers) are subject with the same military might to take matters into their own account with warlike evil, partisan, subjective, hypocritical and deliberate hatred of others by race, color or national origin, betraying anti-servants. Many of our government and the American people, while condemning other world governments and their people, are preaching what they are not practicing, instead of practicing what they have been preaching! Christians have been living the lifestyle of hypocrisy with “soap opera” mentality rules by design (verses), Jew-Gentile, black-white, rich-poor, educated-noneducated, northside-southside, class-no class, sexual preference and unjust bias deceptions.

OUR MISSION

I’m going this 60 miles in memory of Mom “I’m walkin’, yes indeed.” – Fats Domino”

O

n April 15, it will be 22 years since she died. I remember getting home from photocopying some paper I needed to complete my taxes, only to find my wife facing me with eyes so stricken and bereft that I didn’t need to hear the words. I knew. We rushed out to my sister’s house, went into the room and there it was: the shriveled husk that until that day had contained my mom. I left the room at a trot, hand to mouth, the world blurred by tears. My sisters, my brother and I spent the next hours crying, talking, reminiscing. Then, because it was still April 15 and the federal government has little sense of humor about such things, I went and mailed my taxes. It felt surreal, doing this mundane civic chore on the day breast cancer took my mother. I remember being vaguely surprised that taxes were still due, that the world had not stopped, that here was life, going on regardless. Now here we are, 22 years later and your humble correspondent

has just signed up to walk 60 miles over the course of three days this October as part of the Susan G. Komen 3-Day For The Cure. Komen, founded in 1982, OPINION describes itself as “the world’s largest Leonard grass-roots network Pitts of breast cancer ■■■ survivors and activists” and also the planet’s largest nonprofit donor to the fight against breast cancer, having raised $1.5 billion for that cause. Komen says it’s had a hand in every major advance in breast cancer treatment since the early 1980s. All that notwithstanding, your humble correspondent had to sneak up on himself to make himself participate, had to commit before he could talk himself out of it. I am not an athletic fellow. Where physical labor is concerned, some might even say I was a lazy fellow. And 60 miles is, well ... “60 miles.” But after years of making excuses, I decided I could no longer spurn the opportunity to help raise money against this killer. So here I am, hitting up co-workers,

siblings, friends and, yes, readers. (If you donate, please, please, “please” don’t send your money to me. Go to www.the3day.org, click “Donate To A Participant” and input my name.) The Komen people advise participants to write a letter to explain to potential donors why they are walking. I guess this is mine. I am walking because I have a wife, two daughters, two sisters and dozens of women friends and, while breast cancer is not unknown among men (Peter Criss of Kiss and Richard Roundtree of “Shaft” fame are survivors), it absolutely “ravages” women, for whom it is the second most common cancer behind skin cancer. Two hundred thousand women will be diagnosed this year. Forty thousand will die. So I am walking because I hate breast cancer. I am walking because when kismet hits you hard, it is life-affirming to hit back. And I am walking because April 15, 1988, has never gone away. She was a neat lady, my mother.

she smart, read everything she could get her hands on, taught us that education was the holy grail, carried herself with a regality, a native dignity, circumstance could not besmirch. She loved Jesus Christ, Nat Cole, fine clothing, seafood and her bookish, bespectacled firstborn son who was forever getting his glasses broken or his money stolen by bigger, tougher boys.

Al-Maliki bloc says 750,000 Iraqi votes in doubt BAGHDAD – Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s political party claimed Sunday its investigation into the March 7 parliamentary election has thrown into question some 750,000 votes, enough to change the results of the nationwide poll. The State of Law alliance trailed by just two seats behind former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi’s party in the vote, which produced no clear winner because neither side got enough seats to govern alone. Al-Maliki has demanded an official recount as both sides struggle to cobble together a ruling coalition.

Mexican journalist found with throat slit MEXICO CITY – The body of a kidnapped Mexican journalist has been found with his throat slit, federal prosecutors said Sunday. The family of Enrique Villicana Palomares, a columnist for the daily newspaper The Voice of Michoacan in central Mexico, reported him missing last week after he didn’t make it to a university where he taught writing. Federal prosecutors said in a written statement that his body was found Saturday in the state capital, Morelia, after someone demanded a ransom.

Skirmishes begin at UN climate conference BONN, Germany – Climate talks nearly ground to a halt before they began in earnest Sunday, with delegates squabbling over how to conduct negotiations for the rest of the year on a new agreement to control global warming. Talks about talks appeared at times on the verge of breakdown over seemingly minor procedural issues, but that reflected a deep divide on how to treat the hastily crafted political deal struck at the Copenhagen summit last December by President Barack Obama with a small group of other world leaders.

7 shot, wounded near French Quarter NEW ORLEANS – Police say a weeks-old dispute boiled over in a shooting on the outskirts of New Orleans’ French Quarter, leaving seven with non-lifethreatening wounds. New Orleans police say in a release the shooting happened outside a fastfood restaurant around 9:15 Saturday on Canal Street, which runs along the edge of the neighborhood at the heart of the city’s tourism industry. Investigators believe one of the victims, a 17-year-old boy, was the gunman’s target because of a dispute on Mardi Gras, Feb. 16.

Station wagon crashes, killing 3 kids HARRISBURG, Pa. – Pennsylvania state police say a station wagon has crashed into a highway guardrail and rolled down an embankment, killing three children. Police say a 57-year-old woman was driving the car Saturday night in tiny Middle Paxton Township, in Dauphin County. They say the car veered out of its lane, crashed through the guardrail and hit a guide wire before going airborne and slamming into a tree. They say it went down a 50-foot embankment and landed upside down. Deputy Coroner Lynn Choborda says the accident killed a 5-year-old boy and a 3-year-old boy and a 3-year-old girl believed to be twins. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

President Barack Obama (right) meets with Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev at the Blair House in Washington on Sunday.

Obama takes non-nuclear pledge to world leaders WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama’s pledge to one day rid the world of nuclear weapons runs up against global realities this week when representatives from 47 countries try to craft an agreement on keeping nuclear weapons out of terrorist hands. Sweeping or even bold new strategies were unlikely to emerge from the two-day gathering that begins today. But Obama invited the swarm of world leaders as an important step to intensify global focus on one of the most serious nuclear proliferation threats: a world in which non-state actors – like the al-Qaida terror-

ist organization – obtain nuclear materials. “The single biggest threat to U.S. security, both short-term, medium-term and long-term, would be the possibility of a terrorist organization obtaining a nuclear weapon. This is something that could change the security landscape in this country and around the world for years to come,� Obama said as he conducted a series of bilateral meetings with world leaders Sunday. “We know that organizations like al-Qaida are in the process of trying to secure nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction, and would

have no compunction at using them,� Obama said. The president has set a goal of ensuring all nuclear materials worldwide are secured from theft or diversion within four years. On the table, too, will be Iran’s perceived attempts to build a nuclear weapon in violation of the global Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, and North Korea’s nuclear weapons stockpile and exports of nuclear materials and technology. “We want to get the world’s attention focused where we think it needs to be with these continuing efforts by al-Qaida and others to get just

Astronauts take 2nd spacewalk, overcome frustrating stiff bolt CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) – Spacewalking astronauts had to pull out a hammer and pry bar while attaching a big, new tank full of ammonia coolant to the International Space Station on Sunday, successfully driving in a stiff bolt after two frustrating hours. The action unfolded on the 40th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 13. Making their second spacewalk in three days, Rick Mastracchio and Clayton Anderson banged and pulled and shoved, with no success, on the stuck bolt. They undid the good bolts and jos-

tled the 1,700-pound, refrigerator-size tank in case it was misaligned. Finally, after they maneuvered the tank from a different angle, the troublesome bolt slid into place. “You got to be kidding me!� shouted Anderson. “Did it go in?� astronaut Dorothy Metcalf-Lindenburger asked from inside. “Yes, yes. You got to be kidding me,� Anderson replied. “It is in there.� Then he paused for effect. “Now what do we do?� As he turned the 6-inch bolt a dozen times, Anderson urged, “Come on, baby. Get on there. Yeah, get ’er done.�

As the meetings ended, White House officials briefed reporters, paying special attention to Obama’s session with

Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev. Obama’s senior adviser on Russia and the former Soviet Union, Michael McFaul, said the president praised Nazarbayev as “really one of the model leaders in the world. We could not have this summit without his presence.�

MUSKOGEE, Okla. – Gunfire broke out inside a crowded Oklahoma shopping mall Saturday, leaving a teenager dead and several injured in what witnesses described as a gunfight, police said. Five people were taken to a hospital as authorities cordoned off the Arrowhead Mall in downtown Muskogee, an area crowded with visitors attending the city’s annual Azalea Festival, police spokesman Pedro Zardeneta said. It was unclear whether the person killed, 17-yearold Jarrod Reed of Muskogee, was among several people involved in the shooting or a bystander, he said.

City considers bonds for park, road projects

War on weight

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The City Council has elected to seek a type of bond financing for parks and recreation and transportation improvements. The council authorized city staff to apply for $5.615 in two-thirds bond capability. If the city’s plan is approved by the state, the bonds would be issued in Juneandthefundingwould have to go toward parks and recreation improvements and streetscape improvements. Two-thirds bonds don’t require voter approval to be issued. State law enables local governments to borrow money equal to two-thirds of the amount of the previous year’s retired bond debt. The bonds would not require a tax increase. One project on the list is the completion of the city’s greenway from University Park on Deep River Road to the Piedmont Environmental Center on Penny Road. This $2 million segment would provide a continuous greenway through the city and connect with the Bicentennial Greenway in Greensboro. CouncilmemberBernita Sims, who said she reluc-

Sandra Satterfield, board chair for the enrichment center and grant writer for the program. “It’s about all of those things that can contribute to weight gain.” Issues such as nutrition, clutter, finances, depression and others related to weight gain will be addressed. Informational sessions, physical activities and a community garden where members can grow their own fruits and vegetables will be offered. Some guest speakers and nutritionists will be provided by the Guilford County Cooperative Extension, Satterfield said. The program itself is free with a $20 charge to participate in the community garden, located on S. Cen-

tennial Street. Participants also can share space in the community garden. OOPS was kicked off Thursday night with an informational session about nutrition. Satterfield said there are still some spots available for others to join, and members can participate in the program at their own pace. “They can pick and choose and come in and out as needed,” she said. “We are hoping they will want to be consistent and come to all segments.” Lois Powell, founder of the enrichment center, said the program is meant to be “informational” and “provide strategies for persons who feel they have gained too much weight or are involved in too little activity.” The next informational session will be held at the enrichment center on April 17 at 10 a.m. Advance care directions, or planning for end-of-life care, will be discussed. “That’s what the program revolves around – to leave a legacy of wellness for families, and to help them begin looking at how these facets contribute to a healthy life and a healthy family.” For more information, contact the center at 8867707. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

tantly supported the projects, questioned whether the money would be better spent in core areas. “I’m not sure putting $2 million into the completion of the greenway project is in the best interest of the city. We’ve got some issues in the core,” said Sims. “At the time we started that project, things were different. We’ve done all this work in the core city. I don’t understand why we couldn’t put that off and invest in the infrastructure there.” Councilman Latimer Alexander, a proponent of the greenway project, pointed out that it has been noted as a priority in citizen surveys, as well as recreation master plans. The other parks and recreation project on the list involves improvements to the High Point Athletic Complex, such as reconfiguration, resurfacing and marking of the parking lot on the north side of School Park Road, depending on whether Guilford County Schools moves forward with improvements to Simeon Stadium. The bond money would also go toward roadway and/or streetscapeimprovements, such sidewalk additions.

West End Ministries to expand services BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The drugs and violence that used to plague the West End may be gone, but representatives of one organization that serves the neighborhood say much work remains to be done. West End Ministries on Tuesday will mark a milestone in stepping up its mission. A capital campaign the ministry launched last fall has met its goal and work is under way on the first phase of an expansion of its services and programs. A groundbreaking ceremony is planned for the 5,400-square-foot thrift store that will be built on its English Road campus. The ministry set out last October to raise $250,000 in 18 months in order to match an anonymous challenge gift of $275,000. “We have raised the money we need for our match,” said Judy Mendenhall, WEM’s executive director. “We’re very grateful and we feel very blessed, and of course the campaign hasn’t stopped. I’m still trying to raise more money because we have lots of things we want to do.” The relocation of the thrift store from the ministry’s community center building will allow the

Having it will free up additional space for the ministry’s programs, which include a Boys and Girls Club, food ministry, life skills and computer classes, and Leslie’s House, a shelter for women in crisis. The next phase of upgrades will involve a new heating and air system for its aging main building. A third phase entails upgrades to the building’s kitchen to allow the ministry to expand the free meal programs it provides for children and the community as a whole. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Member of Filthy 13 unit dies at 88 PHILADELPHIA (AP) – John “Jack� Agnew, one of the original members of a U.S. Army unit that operated behind enemy lines in World War II and is often credited with having loosely inspired the movie “The Dirty Dozen,� has died at age 88. Agnew belonged to the Filthy Thirteen, an unofficial unit within the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. He was pronounced dead Thursday at Abington Memorial Hospital after becoming ill at his

home in the Maple Village retirement community in Hatboro, where he and his wife moved about a year ago, his daughter Barbara Agnew Maloney said. On D-Day, the Filthy Thirteen parachuted into France to take a bridge over the Douve River. It was “a mission that would cost most of the men their lives,� according to an article in the winter 2008-09 edition of American Valour Quarterly, a publication of the nonprofit American Veterans Center. Before the Battle of the

Bulge, Agnew and other members of the unit were requested for pathfinder duty and parachuted into Bastogne, which was besieged by German forces. Agnew operated a beacon to help guide in planes carrying badly needed supplies. Tales of the unit’s exploits and a Stars and Stripes military newspaper photograph are said to have inspired “The Dirty Dozen,� not because the unit’s members has a reputation for brawling, drinking and spending time in the stockade.

Pruette SCALE Academy to lose Title I status

Welcome back Spc. Dustin McGuire of Rockingham holds onto his son Dante, 11 weeks old, during the benediction at a welcome home ceremony for the 30th Heavy Brigade Combat Team, North Carolina Army National Guard, on Sunday at the RBC Center in Raleigh. The soldiers were deployed in April 2009 to Iraq and returned in early 2010. McGuire’s son was born two days after he returned home.

Deadline nears for NC retailers to sign up for Energy Star program ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

TRIAD – North Carolina appliance retailers must register by April 13 to participate in the state’s Energy Star Appliance Replacement and Rebate Program. Representatives of chain and independent appliance stores and the N.C. Retail Merchants Association gathered at the N.C. Energy Office Thursday to urge other stores to get involved in this program. A link to the retailer Web site is

available on the N.C. Energy Office’s Web site, www.energync.net. Retailers should look for the blue Energy Star logo beside the words “Retailer Information Here� for the forms and procedures to participate. The program will offer North Carolina residents a 15 percent rebate when they buy certain Energy Star-rated appliances over a four-day period beginning April 22. The N.C. Energy Office is also encouraging retailers to offer addi-

tional sales and discounts during the program. As of Wednesday, 340 stores across the state have signed up to participate in the program. The program is offered by the N.C. Energy Office through the U.S. Department of Energy and funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and allows consumers to replace older refrigerators, freezers, washing machines and dishwashers with similar new Energy Star-rated items purchased April 22-April 25.

Man’s refusal to file returns taxes relationship D

ear Abby: It has been eight years since my boyfriend, “Grant,� filed taxes. His refusal to file a tax return has caused many arguments between us. Grant’s parents got wind of it one year and gave him money to pay them off, but he spent the money to pay other bills. Grant is an only child. His parents often bail him out financially. This has begun to gnaw at me because I’m at the point where I’m thinking about marriage and children. I know we can’t be married until he takes care of his tax problem. How serious is it not paying your taxes? Is this something I should just ignore? I couldn’t pay the bills if he was put in jail. Will this 30-something only child ever grow up? – April 15-PHOBIC Dear PHOBIC: According to the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA), a professional society of federally licensed tax practitioners, failing to file your taxes is worse than failing to pay. By not filing, your boyfriend runs the risk of paying not only the taxes he owes, but penalties and interest as well. You need to tell Grant he can get help from an enrolled agent to guide him through the process of filing back returns and, if necessary, setting up

a payment schedule with the IRS. He can locate one in his area by accessing the ADVICE NAEA Web site, www. Dear naea.org. If Abby he doesn’t ■■■have access to a computer, his local library can help him. More than 10,000 enrolled agents are listed. Because they are the only tax specialists licensed to practice before the IRS, Grant can be assured the matter will be handled confidentially in the most competent way. You should not ignore Grant’s behavior. Protect yourself tax-wise by filing your return separately from his until the matter is settled. Should you decide to marry him, file as “married, filing separately� so your incomes (at least in the eyes of the IRS) won’t be viewed as one entity. Use the same enrolled agent or find one for yourself. Do check out this reputable organization. Don’t wait for your boyfriend to grow up to do it because at the rate he’s maturing, that may never happen. Dear Abby: My son “Matt� is a junior in high school. He says he’s not attending the junior/ senior prom this year

because he doesn’t have anyone special to go with. I tried to explain that his date doesn’t have to be a “girlfriend,� that she can just be a friend. I told him he could also go with a bunch of guys who don’t have dates. I know later on in life Matt will regret not having gone to the prom, and I’m sad about his decision. Should I make him go even though he doesn’t want to, hoping he has a good time when he gets there? Or should I drop the issue and respect his wishes even if he’s making a mistake? Matt is 17 and not particularly social, and I think that’s why he doesn’t want to go. – Encouraging Mom Dear Mom: There is a fine line that separates an encouraging mom from a mom who is overbearing. Your son is only a junior, and will have a chance next year to change his mind and attend the prom as a senior. Frankly, I have never had a man write me or tell me that looking back on his high school years he regretted missing a dance. A game, perhaps – but never a dance. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Sentencing phase to conclude in slaying case

GUILFORD COUNTY – A High Point alternative school will lose its Title I status next year as school district officials prepare to spend the federal funds that come along with the program. Dean B. Pruette SCALE Academy will lose its designation while five Greensboro schools, Irving Park Elementary, Joyner Elementary, Southern Middle, Dudley High and Smith High, become Title I schools. During the 2010-11 school year, 50 of the district’s schools will be identified as Title I, up from 46 this year. Title I status is based on the percentage of students who qualify for free and reduced priced meals. For an elementary school to be considered Title I, 60 percent of students must qualify. For middle schools, 67 percent of students must qualify and for high schools, 75 percent of students must qualify. Because of the economic downturn, district officials are not surprised that the number of students participating continues to grow. “As we’ve continued to see more and more people lose jobs in this area, it’s no surprise that we are seeing more families who are struggling,� said Kelly Hales, director of Title I. Title I is a federally funded program that provides school districts with financial assistance to help needy children meet current

TITLE I

–

Participation: The number of students who qualify for free and reduced price meals in Guilford County Schools is on the rise. Based on February 2010 data, 53 percent of students district-wide qualify. In 2007, only 48.5 percent of students qualified. The number crept above 50 percent in June of 2009 for the first time. Schools: GCS will have 36 elementary schools, seven middle schools, two traditional high schools and five alternative schools designated as Title I.

educational needs. District officials decide how the federal money will be used at each school. Funds can be used to hire additional teachers and tutors or to train and support parents and staff in topics that will help their students continue to achieve. Library books, computers and equipment can also be purchased with Title I funds. Title I money must be used to expand the education children are already receiving in the regular classroom. Under federal law, Title I schools that do not make annual testing goals in the same subject for three years must offer the option for students to transfer to another school.

U

nfortunately for many people, High Point was pounded by powerful thunderstorms and a tornado on March 28. In a matter of minutes, a typical Sunday around the firehouse turned into a major incident that challenged the resources of our fire department. Final totals are still being calculated, but it seems that approximately 100 calls to 911 were FIREHOUSE received in a three- to CHAT four-hour period after Lee the tornado Knight touched ■■■down. Every call received was responded to as timely as possible. One problem crews encountered was the amount of damage found at each call. Trucks would respond to a single address but arrive to find complete neighborhoods damaged by the storm. They were finding homes damaged, multiple gas lines ruptured, trees and power lines down and roads blocked, making some areas inaccessible. Crews would access each area, stabilize the area as best they could, check and treat any injuries and then move to the next call. The fire department established a command post near the damaged areas to coordinate rescue operations. A second command post was established at Station 5 to help coordinate the different agencies that needed to work together for a smooth operation. Fire department command staff was also located in the 911 center to assist with any issues that might arise. Initial emergency operations started slowing around 11 p.m. so High Point’s technical rescue team assisted by the Greensboro technical rescue team organized and began revisiting all areas to perform an in-depth search to stabilize any remaining dangers and look for trapped and injured people not discovered earlier. Another issue that arises during these large-scale incidents is lack of coverage for the entire city because of the commitment of resources to specific areas. Because of excellent planning by fire department administrators, this never was an issue. Mutual aid agreements with neighboring departments brought in much needed help to assure the city was still covered. I do not have the space to name everyone who assisted. I do want to thank all city agencies involved, 911 communicators, mutual aid companies that protected the city, Guilford County Emergency Medical Services and the utility companies. Everyone’s exceptional work made this operation a success. which served the people well. 24/7/365: You call; we respond.

Melanoma is curable when caught early

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I have been diagnosed with melanoma on my face. I have heard this can be fatal. How is that possible? How does it spread? I have so many questions, but no one is giving me any information. – S.K.

BLONDIE

Of the three common skin cancers, melanoma is the most deadly. However, caught early and treated, the chances for a complete cure are good. The ultraviolet rays of the sun are partly responsible for melanoma. Many melanomas appear on skin exposed to sunlight, but some do arise on skin that rarely sees the sun. Genes are another factor in their genesis. More than 60,000 cases of melanoma occur yearly in the United States, and it leads to 8,000 deaths a year. Everyone needs to be aware of this skin cancer and be on the lookout for it. The ABCDEs of melanoma detection should be learned by all. “A” is for asymmetry. If you were to fold a melanoma in half in your mind, the two halves would not be the same. “B” is for border. The edges of a melanoma are irregular, jagged. Harmless moles have a smooth border. “C” is for color. The majority of melanomas are black, but not uniformly so. Browns, tans, whites, reds and blues often are scattered through the dark patch. “D” is diameter. Melanomas tend to be larger than 6 millimeters, about the size of an average pencil’s eraser. And “E” is for evolution.

HEALTH Dr. Paul Donohue ■■■

Melanomas change; they enlarge. Their shape might alter. Don’t wait for changes to occur if you suspect you have one. Get to a doctor

immediately. Melanomas spread through the lymph system. Lymph is a fluid derived from the blood. It bathes and nourishes all body cells and tissues. Vessels called lymphatics suction it up and return it to the circulation. En route, lymphatic vessels first bring it to lymph nodes, where the fluid is filtered for foreign matter, germs and cancer cells. This is how melanoma spreads. Lymph nodes are its first places of spread. From there, it can reach other organs, like the liver and lungs. It kills like all cancers do: The rapidly growing cells rob the rest of the body of its nutrition and weaken the body’s immune defenses. Dear Dr. Donohue: Your article on excessive sweating prompted me to send the following information to you. I sweated from my head, face, chest and arms so badly that you could see it come out on the skin. Sometimes it happened three or four times a day, or maybe only once. My doctor told me not to worry about it. Last September I had a sweating spell, and my stomach turned bad. I told my wife to call 911.

That’s the last thing I remembered for three days. I had a massive heart attack. My doctor told me that sweating is an indicator of heart problems. – J.D. The kind of sweating I was talking about was constant sweating, not sweating that comes in spells. It’s daily, protracted sweating. Episodic sweating can be a sign of heart disease and heart attack. It’s not usual for it to be the only sign. Thank you for telling us your story. It puts everyone on guard for one of the rarer manifestation of a heart attack. Readers will appreciate hearing this. Dear Dr. Donohue: I had a complete hysterectomy at age 44. I have not had a Pap smear since the operation. My doctor says it is not necessary. I have a friend who had a hysterectomy but still has yearly Pap smears. What is your opinion? – E.T. This isn’t my opinion; it’s the recommendation of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. When the cervix is removed with the uterus, as it usually is, there is no need for continued Pap smears unless the surgery was done for cancer. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Local group collects, ships books to the Philippines BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – Thousands of books are headed to the Philippines this week, courtesy of a High Point book campaign. Seven Degrees of Change, a nonprofit organization launched by Phoenix Academy founders Paul and Kim Norcross, last week concluded a monthlong push to collect books of all kinds – but especially children’s books and educational books – to send to schools in the Philippines, where educational materials are in short supply. “When people in our country say they have nothing, it’s usually hyperbole, but when you go to the Philippines and they say they have nothing, they really have nothing,” Paul Norcross says. “The average classroom budget for supplies is $4 a year.” Last year, Seven Degrees of Change shipped approximately 50,000 books to the Philippines and to Macau, China, and even

more are being sent to the Philippines this year, according to Norcross. “Last year, we shipped them in a 20-foot (ocean storage) container, and this year we’ll be using a 40-footer,” he says. Supporters of the campaign have been collecting new and

’The average classroom budget for supplies (in the Philippines) is $4 a year.’ Paul Norcross Phoenix Academy gently used books to donate, and last Thursday the books were loaded onto trucks provided by Old Dominion Freight Lines and City Transfer and Storage. Old Dominion will ship the books overseas sometime this week,

according to Norcross. The High Point Rotary Club and the Jamestown Rotary Club, as well as the High Point Public Library, have also been major supporters of the book campaign, Norcross says. “The community response has been very, very positive,” Norcross says. “Companies have really stepped up, and the community in general has been very supportive in donating books. There’s just something about a book – there’s a sanctity to it so that you can’t throw it out. People are cleaning out their bookshelves and closets, and they’re literally opening up a brand new world for somebody else.” Norcross knows the books are being put to good use in the Philippines. “We’ve got six or seven binders full of thank-you notes from those kids over there,” he says. “I remember one little girl, in particular, who said that she’d never seen a dinosaur and she’d never seen a train (before receiv-

ing the donated books). It was like opening up a brand new world for her.” The plan is for the book campaign to be an annual project, according to Norcross. Seven Degrees of Change gets its name from the seven area high-school students who spearheaded last year’s book campaign. They developed a list of seven goals – the Seven Degrees of Change – for fostering positive change in the world. They are: • Helping others. • Learning about other cultures, schools and traditions. • Building relationships with students around the world. • Bringing our culture to others. • Learning lifelong skills. • Leadership training. • Exposing others to the world of books.

Cy the Cynic refuses to believe that experience counts for much at bridge. “Experience,” the Cynic says, “is the comb life gives you after you go bald.” Cy still has all his hair, but he didn’t come out on top in today’s deal. When he played four spades, West led a heart. Cy captured East’s jack, ruffed a heart in dummy and drew trumps. He next took the A-K of clubs, and East won the third club and took the king of hearts. Cy ruffed the next heart but lost two diamonds. Down one. “Only a player with lots of experience would have made it,” I told Cy.

TRICK ONE Cy should have played the hand like the baldheaded man who was given a comb and said he’d never part with it. Cy must not part with his ace of hearts at Trick One: He must let East’s jack win. If East leads a second heart, Cy plays low again, ruffs in dummy and draws trumps. He next leads a club to dummy’s jack, and when East takes the queen, he can only cash the ace of diamonds, holding Cyih to his contract.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 10 6 H K J 8 5 D A J 9 3 C Q 9 8. Your partner opens one club, you respond one heart and he bids one spade. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: You hold the values to invite game and have balanced pattern with strength in the unbid suit. Jump to 2NT. You have no reason to mention your diamonds since you aren’t interested in hearing partner show support for hearts. If your ten of spades were the queen, you’d bid 3NT. North dealer N-S vulnerable

‘Titans’ clashes with ‘Date Night’ LOS ANGELES (AP) – Steve Carell and Tina Fey are in a box-office clash with the gods of Mount Olympus.

HOROSCOPE

CROSSWORD

Monday, April 12, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Claire Danes, 31; Shannen Doherty, 39; David Letterman, 63; Ed O’Neill, 64 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Uncertainty will be the enemy. Challenges may be daunting but, once you get started, you won’t look back or feel the least bit like the underdog. You have more to offer than you realize and it won’t take long for others to recognize exactly what you bring to the table. Your numbers are 2, 5, 16, 23, 28, 36, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Calm down and think matters through. Trouble with a youngster or someone who doesn’t see things the same way you do will cause stress and worry. Before giving ultimatums, try using a little reverse psychology. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Help the people around you. With your kind gestures, you can establish your position and secure your future. Romantic plans will help you enhance a relationship that means a lot to you. Don’t get angry at incompetence; see it as your chance to take over. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Feeling unsure of your position or the way someone feels about you will leave you guessing what to do next. Don’t think that you have to make a move because you have been given an ultimatum, especially if it involved money. If something doesn’t feel right, wait for something better to come along. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t feel pressured by anyone who has the jitters and wants to move quickly on something you aren’t sure about. An opportunity is available that can lead to a better position and a chance to explore and experiment with new acquaintances, lifestyles and activities. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t waste time on someone who is unable to relate to your vision. Move on and you will meet people who get what you are doing and want to take part. Your strengths will be undeniable. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The more people you talk to, the better positioned you will be when the time comes to make your move. A money deal or settlement may have a surprise ending. Keep your emotions out of the equation. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t get hung up on what everyone else is doing. You cannot give in to someone who isn’t willing to meet you halfway. Avoid confrontations with people you live with or near. Don’t be surprised by a broken commitment. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The more distance you put between yourself and the pressure being put on you, the better the outcome. Don’t fear making last-minute changes. Take part in an activity that gets you motivated and moving. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t waste time on nonsense when you should be striving to make your personal and professional life stable. Neglecting to do what’s right or being indulgent will not bode well with someone you have to report to. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can make some good moves regarding investments, property, renovations, settlements and vocational changes. You will surprise someone with your ability to take on burdens and find solutions. Love and romance are in a high cycle. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let money matters upset you. A lover or good friend will take advantage of you and your connections. Volunteer your services, skills or knowledge to someone that needs to hear the truth and take action. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may feel caught in the middle of someone else’s affairs. Meddling will lead to an irreversible situation. Your tendency to overreact will result in personal uncertainty. An unexpected move will lead to a feud. ★★★

Titans” at $26.9 million. Rankings will be sorted out today when studios release final numbers, which can vary by $1 million or more for some films compared with Sunday estimates. Warner executives said they tracked “Clash of the Titans” as No. 1 for a second straight weekend, with “Date Night” trailing by about $1 million.

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.

Phil Mickelson acknowledges the patrons walking to the sixth green during the final round of the Masters in Augusta, Ga. on Sunday. Lefty took his third career Masters crown, firing a final-round 67 for a 16-under-par 272 total and a three-stroke victory.

One for the family Mickelson dedicates emotional third Masters title to his wife, mom AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) – Even sweeter than Phil Mickelson slipping into another green jacket was seeing his wife waiting for him behind the 18th green at Augusta National with tears streaming down her face. Amy Mickelson, with her long blonde hair and easy smile, had not been at a tournament since she was diagnosed with breast cancer 11 months ago. Her husband had not looked the same ever since. A shattered world seemed at peace in the fading sunlight Sunday at the Masters, where Mickelson made one last birdie for a 5-under 67 to capture his third green jacket with a three-shot victory over Lee Westwood. The outcome was never in doubt when he arrived on the 18th green. The conclusion was more emotional than anyone expected. “I wasn’t sure if she was going to be there,” Mickelson said. He shared a long embrace with his wife behind the 18th green, and as he walked to the scoring trailer to sign for the lowest score at Augusta in nine years, a single tear trickled down his cheek to his lip. “We’ve been through a lot this year. It means a lot to share some joy together,” Mickelson said at the green jacket ceremony, his voice cracking has he struggled to keep control. “It’s been such

MASTERS AT A GLANCE

Phil Mickelson talks to his wife Amy after winning the Masters on Sunday. Amy Mickelson has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Mickelson’s mom, Mary, who is also battling breast cancer, was on hand for Lefty’s victory at Augusta National. an incredible week, an emotional week. And to cap it off with a victory is something I can’t put into words. “It’s something we’ll share for the rest of our lives.” Determined to win one for his family, Mickelson made two remarkable par saves from the trees, seized control with a 15-foot birdie putt in the heart of Amen Corner and then made a gutsy play with a 6-iron off the pine straw and over Rae’s Creek on the par-5 13th to set up a birdie. It was

a daring shot, the kind that has brought Lefty so much criticism for taking on too much. There was simply no denying him in this Masters. His final birdie only mattered on the scorecard, 16-under 272, the lowest by a Masters champion since Tiger Woods in 2001. Mickelson had this won as he walked up the 18th fairway to a massive ovation. He raised both arms when the putt fell, had a long embrace with caddie Jim “Bones” Mackay, then walked toward the scoring

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — A glance at Sunday’s final round of the Masters: Winner: Phil Mickelson, who shot his second straight 67 to win by three shots. Runnerup: Lee Westwood, who went into the final round a shot ahead but shot 71. Where’s Tiger? Tiger Woods finished five shots back, tied for fourth with K.J. Choi after a final round 69. How many? This was Mickelson’s third green jacket, all in the last seven years. Moment of the day: Mickelson’s wife, Amy, who has breast cancer, joining her husband in a long embrace on the 18th green. Key stat: Mickelson was the only player without a bogey in the final round. Noteworthy: There were two holes-in-one, both on the 16th hole. Nathan Green made the first and Ryan Moore the second.

hut and into his wife’s arms. Standing behind them was Mary Mickelson, his mother, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in July. So ended a Masters unlike any other.

utler nearly did it to Duke in the national championship game, falling two points short in a classic final. But the Bulldogs moved quickly to keep their coach under contract through the 202122 season. Brad Stevens signed a 12-year deal to stay on the Butler bench for a long time to come. Good move, Butler. Stevens led the Bulldogs to a school-record 33 victories this season, including a 25-game winning streak that ended in the NCAA final.

The 33-year-old has produced the school’s only two 30-win seasons and is 89-15 in three seasons with the Bulldogs. The 89 victories are a national record for coaches over their first three seasons. Stevens has earned the last two Horizon League coach of the year awards. Stevens was the hottest coaching commodity on the block. Oregon, Wake Forest and Clemson were three of many teams that reportedly expressed interest in Stevens. I salute Stevens and Butler for working

together to keep a good thing going. The Bulldogs are well on their way to becoming a consistent major player on the national scene. And Stevens is the biggest reason why. Look for Butler, which has reached the Sweet 16 three times since 2003, to pad that resume with more success on the road to the Final Four for many years to come.

Evander Holyfield stopped Frans Botha in the eighth round to win the WBF heavyweight title late Saturday night in Las Vegas. The 47-year-old Holyfield (43-102) knocked the 41-year old Botha (47-5-3) down with 2:36 left in the round with a right to the left chin. Botha beat referee Russell Mora’s count, but with 2:05 left Mora stopped the fight with Botha backed into a corner. It was Holyfield’s 28th career knockout. Two judges had Botha ahead 6766 when the fight was stopped. The other judge had it 69-64 for Holyfield, the former heavyweight champion. There were only about 2,200 people in the stands at the Thomas & Mack Center, most rooting for Holyfield. Holyfield briefly lost his balance, stumbling into a corner after a right from Botha with 2:04 left in the second round. After that, Holyfield started taking control. Botha, a native South African, was warned by the referee twice in the first three rounds for hitting behind the head.

Woods ties for fourth

AP

Ryan Newman and his wife Krissie celebrate after winning the NASCAR Subway Fresh Fit 600 at Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale, Ariz. late Saturday night. Newman snapped a 77-race winless streak on the Cup circuit by holding off Jeff Gordon on a green-white-checkered finish.

Victory more satisfying for Newman after drought celebration, where Stewart was one of the first people to congratulate him. With three laps left, Busch had a two-second lead over Sprint Cup points leader Jimmie Johnson, who had won four of the previous five races at the oddly shaped mile track. But Scott Riggs, in his first Cup race this season, blew a front right tire and brought out a caution to send everybody scrambling to the pits before another green-whitecheckered finish. Johnson and Busch both took four tires and exited behind six cars that changed only right-side tires. Gordon won the race off pit road ahead of Newman and defending race champion Mark Martin. But when Gordon spun his tires on the restart, Newman shot ahead on the inside lane and stayed in front. Gordon was among those who congratulated Newman after the race. After beginning his Cup career with Roger Penske, a 71⠄2-season span front-loaded with success, Newman got into the No. 39 car for the new Stewart-Haas team last year. He had 15 top-10 finishes and made the Chase for the upstart team, but didn’t win a race.

AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) – The victories used to come often and seemingly so easy for Ryan Newman. A long time ago. So when Newman finally made back it to Victory Lane, a surprising triumph in the desert to end a 77-race Sprint Cup winless drought and get his first win driving for Tony Stewart, it was that much more satisfying. “It was tough last year, I’m not going to kid you, when I come to a new organization and it’s the same organization for Tony Stewart and he won all those races,� Newman said. “We knew what we needed to do to make our team better. And I feel that we’ve done that. We proved that.� A late caution flag Saturday night was the only thing that kept Kyle Busch from a weekend sweep at Phoenix International Raceway. That also provided the opening for Newman, who beat Jeff Gordon in a two-lap shootout to win for the first time since the 2008 Daytona 500, and only the second time in five seasons. “This is the most emotional victory I’ve ever had in my entire career just because it’s been so long,� Newman said during the postrace

That finally changed Saturday night. Newman moved up six spots to 16th in points after his second consecutive top-five finish that continued an upward trend. After starting the season with an accident at Daytona and engine problems at California to finish 34th and 36th, he has improved each race since – 18th, 17th, 16th, fourth and now first. Newman led only two laps before the final two. That was during a caution only 21 laps into what became a 378-lap race – instead of the scheduled 375, already 63 more than last spring. Johnson finished third and increased his series points lead – from 14 to 36 over Matt Kenseth. Greg Biffle dropped from second to third in points after finishing 22nd Saturday night, the first time this season he wasn’t in the top 10. Denny Hamlin, racing only 10 days after surgery to repair the torn ACL in his left knee, finished 30th, two laps off the pace. He had moved up from his starting spot of 26th to 13th before an extended stop 135 laps into the race to repair damage from being hit and to address an electrical problem.

Castroneves takes Indy Grand Prix of Alabama ing a chain link fence in front of the grandstands and pumping his fists to the fans. Castroneves won by just over half a second over Dixon and nobody else was closer than 7 seconds to the lead, making it a two-man chase at the end. He didn’t offer any opening for Dixon to get by him on a narrow track that offers few easy spots to pass and makes pit strategy as important as any daring on-

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) – Helio Castroneves held off Scott Dixon to win the inaugural Indy Grand Prix of Alabama on Sunday, coasting to the finish line after coming off caution with two laps to go. The three-time Indianapolis 500 winner took over in the stretch run when Marco Andretti headed to pit road with seven laps to go. Castroneves treated the new IndyCar venue to his “Spiderman� move, climb-

track maneuvers. Dario Franchitti was third. Will Power had won the first two races and was dominant in qualifying and practice but had to settle for fourth, still comfortably hanging onto his points lead. It was another big day for Penske Racing even with Power failing to become the first driver to win the opening three IndyCar races. Castroneves, Power and Ryan Briscoe made up half the top six.

Dixon races to 50th NHRA victory BAYTOWN, Texas (AP) – Larry Dixon raced to his second victory of the season and 50th overall Sunday, beating Antron Brown in the Top Fuel final in the O’Reilly NHRA

Spring Nationals at Houston Raceway Park. Matt Hagan (Funny Car), Jeg Coughlin (Pro Stock) and Andrew Hines (Pro Stock Motorcycle) also won in the NHRA

Full Throttle Drag Racing Series event. Dixon had a 4.541-second pass at 222.36 mph to Brown’s 4.638 at 173.32 to move into eighth place on the career victory list.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) – By most standards, Tiger Woods’ comeback would be deemed a success. He contended for a fifth Masters title when some wondered if he’d even make the cut. He took a step toward winning back fans who were appalled by the serial cheating on his wife. Woods didn’t look at it that way. He came back to the Masters to win, not just contend. To him, there was no joy and no relief in tying for fourth in his first tournament in five months, only disappointment and frustration. “That’s not what I wanted,� Woods said Sunday after finishing five strokes behind Phil Mickelson. “I wanted to win this tournament. As the week wore on, I kept hitting the ball worse.� He had vowed to tone down his emotions, try to smile a little more, acknowledge the fans every now and then. But that even temperament quickly faded as the poor shots piled up. He yelled at himself several times, loud enough for the gallery to hear and the television microphones to pick up. He flipped clubs away in anger. Afterward, Woods got a bit testy when asked if the new Tiger was still a work in progress. “I think people are

making way too much of a big deal about this thing,� he said. “I’m not going to be walking there with a lot of pep in my step because I hadn’t hit a good shot yet.� Woods did hit some good shots, of course. The best Sunday was an 8-iron that he holed out from the fairway at No. 7 for an eagle. He followed with back-to-back birdies and made the turn just three strokes out of the lead, looking as though he was ready to make a charge. But Woods has never come from behind on the final day to win a major, and this one wasn’t any different. Another errant tee shot at the 11th led to a bogey. Then, an inexplicable three-putt from 6 feet ended his hopes at the 14th. He did bounce back to make an eagle on the par-5 15th, but Mickelson was pulling away at that point. A short birdie putt at the final hole only assured that Woods tied K.J. Choi for fourth place. “I still was pretty far out of it,� he said. “The guys were making birdies on the easier holes and for most of the day I was four, five, six back. It’s a long way to climb and I was still making mistakes out there. I made too many mistakes.�

Kim charges to third place AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) – It used to be hard to see anything but Anthony Kim’s brashness in the glare of that rhinestonestudded belt buckle. On Sunday, all anyone noticed was his prodigious talent. Kim made a late charge at the Masters on Sunday, playing a four-hole stretch in only 11 shots to get within two of the

lead. But, playing four groups in front of Phil Mickelson, he ran out of holes. Stashed away in the locker room by Masters officials and hoping for a playoff, Kim could only watch as Mickelson birdied 15 to secure his third green jacket. Still, Kim’s 65 was the best score of the tournament and earned him third place at 276.

MORRISON WINS MADEIRA ISLANDS OPEN

PORTO SANTO, Madeira Islands (AP) – England’s James Morrison won the Madeira Islands Open on Sunday for his first PGA European Tour title, birdieing the final hole for a 2-under 70 and a one-stroke victory over countryman Oliver Fisher. Morrison, the 25-year-old former Challenge Tour player, had a 20-under 268 total on the Seve Ballesteros-designed Porto Santo course that features 500-foot seaside cliffs. Fisher closed with a 65. Scotland’s George Murray (73) was third at 14 under.

EU members offer lifeline to Greece BRUSSELS (AP) – Trying again to halt a debt crisis that has hammered the euro, fellow eurozone governments tossed struggling Greece a financial lifeline Sunday, saying they would make €30 billion in loans available this year alone – if Athens asks for the money. The International Monetary Fund stands ready to chip in another €10 billion, said Olli Rehn, the EU monetary affairs chief. The promise – filling in details of a March 25 pledge of joint eurozone-IMF help – was another attempt to calm markets that have been selling off Greek bonds in recent days. Markets viewed the March pledge as too vague and carrying such tough restrictions that Greece could not easily get the money. As a result, investors demanded high rates to loan to the government as it struggles to avoid default – rates the government says it can’t go on paying. Greece has some €54 billion in debt coming due this year and a huge budget deficit. In an emergency video conference, the finance ministers of the 16-eurozone nations agreed on a complex three-year financing formula that generates an interest rate of “around 5 percent.” This is less than commercial market rates – which have soared above 7 percent on Greek 10-year borrowing in recent weeks as the

European Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs Olli Rehn addresses the media at the European Commission headquarters in Brussels on Sunday. Finance ministers of the 16 euro nations met in a video conference to discuss the technical details of a financial aid package for Greece. debt crisis dragged on – but more than beneficiaries of IMF usually pay. European Central Bank president Jean-Claude Trichet and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have insisted that Greece not get below-market interest rates amounting to an EU subsidy for its past bad behavior. “This is certainly no subsidy” to Greece, Rehn

told a news conference. The test of Sunday’s announcement will be whether it restores confidence that Greece will not default and gives it a chance to borrow normally at lower rates. Under last week’s rates, Greece would have had to pay more than twice what Germany pays. The danger is that interest payments themselves

begin to sink the budget despite severe cutbacks imposed in recent days. A Greek default would be a serious blow to the euro, rattle markets and inflict losses on European banks that have bought Greek government bonds. Greek Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou said Greece had not asked for the plan to be activated,

and still hoped to borrow on markets rather than seeking a rescue. “The Greek government has not asked for the activation of the mechanism, even though this is already immediately available,” Papaconstantinou said in Athens. “The aim is, and we believe we will continue to borrow unhindered on the markets.”

ATLANTA (AP) – Energy providers Mirant Corp. and RRI Energy Inc. said Sunday they are combining in a $1.61 billion stockswap deal, renaming the company and creating a utility powerhouse that will become one of the nation’s largest independent power producers. The combined company will be called GenOn Energy and will be led by Mirant Chairman and CEO Edward R. Muller until 2013, when he will retire and the top post will be taken by Mark M. Jacobs, RRI Energy’s current president and CEO. Jacobs will serve as GenOn’s president, chief operating officer and a director until that time. Mirant stockholders will receive 2.835 RRI common shares for each Mirant share they own. Based on RRI’s Friday closing price of $3.95, that values Mirant at $11.20 per share – a 4 percent premium. Based on Mirant’s 143.9 million shares outstanding at March 8, the deal values Atlanta-based Mirant at $1.61 billion. There was no word on any planned job cuts, but the two companies said they expect $150 million in annual cost savings starting in January 2012 from reductions in corporate overhead.

President’s jobs agenda Investors hone in on profits to drive stock market stalls in Congress WASHINGTON (AP) — The election-year jobs agenda promised by President Barack Obama and Democrats has stalled seven months before voters determine control of Congress. Democrats have no money to pay for the program. That’s because both Republicans and the Democratic chairman of the Senate Budget Committee objected to taking money left over from the fund that bailed out banks, automakers and insurers and using it for the jobs bill. Such a move, they insisted, would add tens of billions of dollars to the $12.8 trillion national debt. An $80 billion-plus Senate plan promised an infusion of cash to build roads and schools, help local governments keep teachers on the payroll, and provide rebates for homeowners who make energy-saving investments. Two months after the plan was introduced, most of those main elements remain on the Senate’s shelf. Obama’s proposed $250 bonus payment to Social Security recipients is dead for the year, hav-

What’s going ahead instead are more modest initiatives. That includes some help for small business or simple extensions

of parts from last year’s economic stimulus measure. None is expected to make an appreciable dent in an unemployment rate, stuck at 9.7 percent.

NEW YORK (AP) – For stock market investors, everything outside of what companies earn is pretty much noise. Profit reports for the January-March quarter will start to trickle in this week and they are sure to look good. That’s because business is improving, but also because the economy was so bad last year that it won’t take much for companies to post better numbers. What investors want to know now is whether companies can keep the good news coming. The early recovery in earnings came from heavy cost-cutting. By shearing away expenses, companies could generate profits on far less business than before the recession began at the end of 2007. Then, the newly slimmed down companies got a boost from heavy government stimulus spending and record-low interest rates. Investors will be looking for signs that companies can continue to do better even after the government removes emergency supports and businesses do more than just replace depleted inventories. “A major question on a lot of people’s minds

is, ’Well, what’s the next act?”’ said Stu Schweitzer, global markets strategist at J.P. Morgan’s Private Bank in New York. The forecasts that companies provide often are far more important than the earnings they report because investors are paying for stocks to get a slice of a company’s future profits. Last week, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose to an 18-month high on expectations that companies are getting stronger. The estimated firstquarter earnings growth

rate for companies that make up the S&P 500 index is 37 percent, according to analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. Investors will get their first taste of first-quarter profits when bellwether companies like Alcoa Inc., Intel Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. report their results this week. Even if the news is encouraging, investors could still see a drop in stocks, at least at first. The stock market has tended to fall as earnings arrived in the past two quarters.

Dubai mulls financial reforms DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) – Dubai’s government said Sunday it is creating a finance team tasked with drafting a fouryear financial plan. The new body will operate under Dubai’s finance department and report to

the existing Supreme Fiscal Committee, which is chaired by Sheik Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, a top aide and uncle of Dubai’s ruler. Dubai is scrambling to work itself out from more than $80 billion in debt

amassed by the sheikdom and its many state-linked companies. The new finance team will be charged with developing a financial plan through 2014 and making recommendations on a new revenue structure, according to officials.

Mourners honor 29 dead miners PETTUS, W.Va. (AP) – A pair of tall black boots and a lunch pail sat near the altar Sunday at the New Life Assembly church – a memorial to the 29 men killed in the worst U.S. mining disaster since 1970 and a thank-you to those who make their living inside the mountains. This day, the first Sunday since last Monday’s explosion killed 28 workers and a contractor at Massey Energy Co.’s Upper Big Branch mine in Montcoal, was for many a time to honor the profession. Tears of mourning fell, and arms swayed in worship among the 50 people gathered at the church. Pastor Gary Williams, who has worked at Massey Energy mines for 18 years, knew many of the victims. On his way to church Sunday morning, he heard Ricky Workman’s name among them for the first time. “I know his child. I know his wife. He’s a part of my family. He’s a part of my life,” Williams said, tears falling. “Over time, our hearts and the emptiness that we have inside will fade away, but I don’t never want to forget what happened April 5, 2010.” Some of those who died have already been laid to rest. Crews worked Sunday to remove the bodies of several others who didn’t make it out, but the recovery had to be halted because of high gas readings in the mine. Crews

GOP senators push for ‘mainstream’ court nominee WASHINGTON (AP) – GOP senators who will help shape the review of President Barack Obama’s next nominee to the Supreme Court said Sunday he must pick someone with “mainstream” judicial views to avoid a potential filibuster. Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, wouldn’t rule out using that tactic to “protect the Constitution” from a high court nominee who, he said, would make law rather than interpret it. Whether there’s a drawn-out fight over a successor to retiring Justice John Paul Stevens, the leader of the court’s liberal wing, “is in the president’s hands,” Sessions said. Stevens plans to step down when the court finishes its work

for the summer. Added Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl, the Senate’s Stevens secondranking Republican and a committee member: “I’m not going to take it off the table. But I think it can easily be avoided.” Committee Democrat, Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, claimed “it’s just about a certainty that the president will nominate someone in the mainstream, so the likelihood of a filibuster is tiny.” Kyl said it would take “extraordinary circumstances” to compel a GOP filibuster. Republicans are likely to echo those terms – judicial mainstream and extraordinary circumstances – during the confirmation process.

Mississippi governor refers to himself as ‘fat redneck’ AP

Friends and family stand in line at the funeral of William Roosevelt Lynch on Sunday in Beckley W.Va. Lynch, a 59 year-old miner, died in a mine explosion at Massey Energy Co.’s Upper Big Branch mine in Montcoal, W.Va. need to drill another hole to vent the mine before they can continue. Four funerals were held Friday, with more held over the weekend. Nearly two dozen will follow in the weeks ahead. Despite hope that four missing miners might survive long enough for rescuers

to reach them, officials announced early Saturday morning that the four had apparently died instantly. A complete list of victims has yet to be released. Two other miners were injured in the blast, and one remains hospitalized. A team of federal investigators will arrive today

as officials try to figure out what caused the blast. Virginia-based Massey has been under scrutiny for a string of safety violations at the mine, though CEO Don Blankenship has defended the company’s record and disputed accusations that he puts profits ahead of safety.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Race and “fat rednecks” and Republicans. First there’s national Republican Party chairman Michael Steele, who has come under criticism for his leadership. Steele says he thinks he’s being held to a higher standard because he’s black. Then there’s a former GOP chairman, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour. He disagrees with Steele’s assessment. Barbour says that’s like saying, “I think

I’m held to the higher standard because I’m a fat redneck with an accent like Barbour this.” Barbour, a potential presidential candidate in 2012, says party chairmen have been and continue to be judged by results. He appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
