Davidson officials buy land for schools BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The Davidson County Board of Commissioners Tuesday night agreed to purchase 133 acres for the Davidson County Board of Education to build a new middle and high school in the northern part of the county. The land, which commissioners purchased for $2.35 million, is located on Midway School Road near the Hoy Long Road intersection. Davidson County school officials hope to build a new middle and high school to alleviate overcrowding in the North Davidson

and Ledford school districts. A committee, comprised of board Chairman Max Walser, Commissioner Billy Joe Kepley and school board members Kenny Meredith and Allan Thompson, identified the property because the land is “halfway between the two high school areas,” Thompson said last month. “We think, through this process, it has come out to be the best property available,” Davidson County Schools Superintendent Fred Mock said Tuesday night. Mock was one of several to speak in favor of the purchase of land during a public hearing before commissioners unanimously agreed to acquire the property.

Robert Bates, chairman of the North Davidson High School advisory council and a parent, told commissioners the overcrowding at the high school has gotten so bad that kids have a “difficult time moving between classes in a prudent manner.” “It certainly cuts into the time that they have to be able to get to classes,” he said. “In terms of the overcrowding when it comes to the cafeteria and lunch time, they really have such a small window to be able to exercise that opportunity for eating. But the main concern I have is the safety. Traffic in that area is absolutely awful.” Thomasville resident Barney

W. Hill spoke against the acquisition of the land. “I oppose the acquisition because it will be paid for with the proceeds of a bond referendum deliberately held in an odd-numbered year so that most of the voters will be unaware that there was a bond referendum being held,” Hill said. Commissioners agreed to use money from the 2005 bond referendum to purchase the property. The school system will need another bond referendum or another source of funding from commissioners to build the schools, according to Mock. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

DISASTER RELIEF LOANS

State Emergency Management officials are available through Thursday to meet with tornado victims from Davidson County and north High Point and help them complete state disaster relief loan applications. Disaster recovery centers are open 9:30

a.m. to 6:30 p.m. today and Thursday at the West Jefferson Government Complex at 555 W. Center St. in Lexington and at Fire Station 12 at 4538 Barrow Road in High Point. Gov. Beverly Perdue issued the declaration last week.

TRIAD – The crush of visitors this week for the High Point Market shouldn’t interfere with the ongoing effort to secure temporary shelter for people whose homes were destroyed or damaged in the March 28 tornadoes, an American Red Cross official said. After two tornadoes struck in Davidson County and one in north High Point, emergency officials turned to area hotel operators to provide an immediate place to stay for residents whose houses were uninhabitable. The evening the tornadoes struck, local Red Cross leader Bob Ziegler said he pondered the implications of moving people to hotels so close to market, which draws an average of 85,000 visitors to High Point each spring and fall. The spring High Point Market officially kicks off Saturday, but trade show activity will begin this week. “I was concerned about that from the beginning,”

Trinity OKs public hearing for truck policy BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRINITY – The Trinity City Council has agreed to revisit an ordinance concerning the parking of tractor-trailers in the city limits. At its preagenda meeting Tuesday afternoon, the council decided to set a public hearing on a new ordinance for its regular monthly meeting next Tuesday night. The council didn’t discuss the ordinance during the preagenda meeting. According to Adam

Stumb, the city’s planning and zoning administrator, the council would have to repeal the old trucking ordinance, which was approved by the board in August before it was placed under a moratorium a month later. At a special-called meeting last month, the council tentatively decided to only allow the owner and operator of trucks to park on their property. Following the board’s decision in February to allow truck drivers to park only one rig on their own property, truckers were given

from Feb. 16 to March 18 to request a permit from the city. City officials said last month they have had 46 truckers request permits from the city, but haven’t been able to issue them because the council has yet to finalize a trucking ordinance. Under the proposed ordinance, tractor-trailers may be permitted to park on property zoned residential if they belong to the owner of the property, spouse of the property owner or child of the property owner and reside at the property. The owner of the

tractor-trailer also must certify the tractor and/or trailer were parked on the property between Feb. 16 and March 18. The owner of the tractor also must have a valid North Carolina commercial driver’s license. Those receiving permits cannot have any outstanding city or Randolph County code violations existing at the property. Permits, which have to be renewed annually, are not transferable to future owners of the property or to other properties, according to the proposed ordinance.

“The purpose of this ordinance is to promote the health, safety and general welfare of Trinity residents and citizens residing in the city’s extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction while protecting the livelihood of owner-operator independent truck drivers by prohibiting tractor and trailer parking in residential zoning districts and terminating through attrition owner-operator tractor and trailer parking existing as of March 18,” the proposed ordinance reads.

Recyclers help uncover stolen containers ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

Funeral for NC soldier A bugler plays during burial services for Army Staff Sgt. Scott W. Brunkhorst Tuesday at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va. According to the Defense Department, Brunkhorst, 25, of Fayetteville, died March 30 in the Arghandab river valley, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when enemy forces attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device.

Authorities: 4 believed dead in Navy plane crash MORGANTON, Ga. (AP) – All four crew members aboard a Navy plane that barely missed a house and crashed in north Georgia woods are believed dead and searchers scoured the site Tuesday afternoon for the final victim, authorities said. Naval Air Station Pensacola spokesman Harry White told The Associated Press that all aboard were presumed killed in Monday afternoon’s crash of the Floridabased T-39N Sabreliner. Three bodies were found. He said authorities concluded the fourth person was dead as an investigative team of at least seven military personnel arrived at in the dense forest. A six-person civilian crew contracted by the military also was

on hand and law enforcement officers left the wreckage undisturbed overnight for the arriving investigators, Fannin County Sheriff’s Office Maj. Keith Bosen said. The plane just missed a house when it crash Monday afternoon, and authorities said no one on the ground was injured. “The way the aircraft impacted, it was not believed that there were any survivors,” Bosen said Tuesday. The plane was part of Training Air Wing 6, which conducts routine cross-country missions through Fannin County, where it crashed, White said. The area is north of Atlanta not far from Georgia’s boundaries with North Carolina and Tennessee.

Searchers found three bodies earlier and Bosen said there was no evidence that a parachute had deployed. The twin-jet plane can carry two pilots and seven passengers, according to a Navy Web site. Authorities don’t know what caused the plane to go down, White said. He did not release the victims’ names and said he didn’t know where the plane had originated. Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the agency is not investigating the military crash. Authorities say the plane went down in an area where residents say houses are scattered among dense trees.

Displaced victims not impacted by visitors

RANDOLPH COUNTY – The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office has recovered more than $500,000 in stolen property from a plant in Randleman. According to a sheriff’s office press release, deputies responded Wednesday to Verity Polymers in Randleman at the request of company personnel in reference to possible stolen property. Upon arrival, officers found 1,680 heavy-duty metal-reinforced plastic shipping containers, or approximately 10 truck loads, which had been shipped to the company for recycling by a used materials broker. The containers were being housed in the company’s two warehouses in Randleman and Asheboro. The sheriff’s office said company officials in Randolph County became suspicious when they inspected the containers and found them to be relatively new and unused, not at all like the used items the company was accustomed to recycling. They contacted container

manufacturer Buckhorn Inc. of Milford, Ohio, who verified that his company was missing approximately 10 truck loads of these plastic containers from their manufacturing facility in Shelbyville, Ky. The sheriff’s office said because of the local recycling company’s diligence, Randolph County Sheriff’s detectives were able to recover stolen property valued by the manufacturer at $512,400. If the containers had been destroyed, the ground-up plastic value would have been approximately $75,000, according to the sheriff’s office. Investigators say it appears the stolen containers may have passed through several brokers before being shipped to Randolph County for recycling. Randolph County detectives will be working with the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office in Kentucky and with officials from Buckhorn Inc. and their parent company, Myers Industries of Akron, Ohio, to further investigate the theft and subsequent recovery in Randolph County.

Thomasville reports 6,900 gallon spill ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

THOMASVILLE – The city of Thomasville has reported a wastewater spill of more than 6,000 gallons. According to a Thomasville press release, the city had a wastewater spill of an estimated 6,900 gallons of untreated wastewater. The wastewater came from a manhole along Burke Trail and spilled into Hanks Branch Creek in the Yadkin/Pee Dee River Ba-

sin. House Bill 1160, which the General Assembly enacted in July 1999, requires municipalities, animal operations, industries and others who operate waste handling systems issue a notice when a waste spill of 1,000 gallons of more reaches surface waters. The city of Thomasville notified the Department of Emergency Management on April 10. For further information, contact the city of Thomasville at 475-4220.

But Ziegler said Tuesday no one who had to find temporary accommodations because of the tornadoes has approached the Red Cross and reported having to leave a hotel because of market bookings. “I was asking our

team before to make plans, or possibly open a shelter again, in case market pushed a lot of people out of hotels. But apparently it’s not going to be the case,” Ziegler said.

could receive parole, he also agreed with the defense that the chances of that were “slim and none,� given the 52-year-old Hennis’ age and the nature of the crimes. He agreed that the defense had opened the door to the question with its closing argument that jurors knew Hennis would at least spend life behind bars. He declined to answer the question with any specifics, however, saying the various answers had too many permutations. He did say that he would consider any further arguments when deliberations are scheduled to resume Wednesday morning. “Finally, justice. A chance for justice,� said Maj. Robert Stelle when he opened his argument Tuesday for jurors to sentence Hennis to death. “Justice finally for Katie Eastburn. Justice finally for Erin and justice finally for Kara.� The only possible sentence for a crime “so heinous, so repugnant, so supremely evil� is death, Stelle said. It’s never too late for justice, he said. “There is only one sentence that serves the case of justice,� Stelle said. Hennis was convicted last week of the murders of 31-year-old Kathryn Eastburn and two of her three daughters – 5-yearold Kara and 3-year-old Erin In 1985. Jana Eastburn, then 22 months old, was found unharmed in her crib.

GREENSBORO – The city’s case to shut down a south Greensboro strip club where dancers are accused of engaging in prostitution is set to be heard starting Monday in Guilford County Superior Court. The city is seeking to close down Bare Villa and Nakitas Playhouse at 510 Farragut St. and filed a civil nuisance abatement lawsuit against the club in January. State law allows municipalities to take civil action to close problematic businesses if they can prove a business is a public nuisance. The club has long drawn the attention of Greensboro police with 60 criminal complaints there since 2001, including two homicides, multiple robberies, assaults, gunshots and disturbances. The club has changed names multiple times and most recently was known as Sugar Bare Lost Dimensions.

Kyrgyz interim leader says US base will stay BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan – Kyrgyzstan’s interim leader told The Associated Press Tuesday her government will extend for a year the lease of a U.S. air base key to the war in Afghanistan, and guarantee the deposed president’s safety if he steps down and leaves the country. The ousted ruler said he was willing to step down but he also wants security for his family and close circle as a condition of his resignation – a demand that could block a deal to transfer power and exacerbate the turmoil gripping the Central Asian nation.

Poland mourns as president, wife lie in state WARSAW, Poland – Thousands of grieving mourners tossed flowers on a slow-moving hearse and joined an enormous viewing line at the presidential palace to pay their respects Tuesday to Polish President Lech Kaczynski and his wife as their bodies lay in state. Kaczynski and his wife, Maria, were among 96 people killed Saturday in a plane crash in western Russia. Investigators are pointing to human error as the cause.

Demjanjuk casts himself as a victim of Hitler MUNICH – Retired Ohio autoworker John Demjanjuk told a German court Tuesday he was a victim of the Nazis, using his first major statement since his trial began to sharply criticize the country that started World War II for prosecuting him. Demjanjuk, 90, is standing trial on 27,900 counts of being an accessory to murder on allegations he was a guard at the Sobibor camp in occupied Poland. He denies ever being at any camp, claiming he is the victim of mistaken identity.

Brazilian rancher guilty in nun’s murder SAO PAULO – A Brazilian rancher’s conviction for the murder of a U.S. nun in the Amazon could help discourage attacks on rain forest activists that for decades have largely gone unpunished, environmentalists and legal officials said Tuesday. Vitalmiro Moura was sentenced to 30 years for ordering the killing of 73-year-old Dorothy Stang in 2005.

Michelle Obama visits earthquake-ravaged Haiti PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – First lady Michelle Obama made a surprise visit Tuesday to the ruins of the Haitian capital, a high-profile reminder that hundreds of thousands remain in desperate straits three months after the earthquake. The first lady and Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, took a helicopter tour of Port-au-Prince, where many people are still homeless, before landing at the de-

stroyed national palace to meet President Rene Preval. They later talked with students whose lives have been upended by the disaster and walked along a vast, squalid encampment of families living under bed sheets and tents. “It’s powerful,” Obama told reporters. “The devastation is definitely powerful.” A number of past and present world leaders have visited since

the earthquake, including former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. But few have the star power here of the American first lady, whose husband is widely popular in Haiti and throughout the Caribbean. “It was important for Jill and I to come now because we’re at the point where the relief efforts are under way, but the attention of the world starts to wane a bit,” she said.

Summit endorses Obama’s goal on fighting nuclear terrorism WASHINGTON (AP) – In full accord on a global threat, world leaders Tuesday endorsed President Barack Obama’s call for securing all nuclear materials around the globe within four years to keep them out of the grasp of terrorists. They offered few specifics for achieving that goal, but Obama declared “the American people will be safer and the world will be more secure” as a result. Obama had called the 47-nation summit to focus world attention on the threat of nuclear terrorism, a peril he termed the greatest threat facing all nations and a “cruel irony of history” after mankind had survived the Cold War and decades of fear stoked by a U.S.-Soviet arms race. A terrorist group in possession of plutonium no bigger than an apple could detonate a device capable of inflicting hundreds of thousands of casualties, he said. “Terrorist networks such as

they would cooperate more deeply with the United Nations and its watchdog arm, the International Atomic Energy Agency. They also said they would share information on nuclear detection and ways to prevent nuclear trafficking. Several countries, including Ukraine, Mexico and Canada, declared their intention to give up highly enriched uranium as a step toward making it harder for terrorist groups or criminal gangs to steal or acquire a key ingredient in the making of atomic weapons. Russia and the U.S. signed a deal to dispose of tons of weapons-grade plutonium, although that won’t start for eight years. While the summit focused on the threat from terrorists, attention was given to Iran, North Korea and other nations who are seeking or have succeeded in obtaining or developing nuclear weapons.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) – Gov. Joe Manchin on Tuesday asked a former top federal mine safety official to independently investigate an explosion that killed 29 West Virginia miners, and also called for more scrutiny of mines with a history of safety violations. Manchin told The Associated Press that J. Davitt McAteer, who headed the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration during the Clinton administration, will probe the blast at Massey Energy’s Upper Big Branch mine and be his special adviser on the matter. McAteer’s probe will be independent of separate

Nadia Bloom, 11, missing since Friday afternoon, is carried by rescuers after being found on Tuesday in the woods surrounding her Winter Springs, Fla., home. Nadia was covered in bug bites, her feet were waterlogged and she was dehydrated, officials said, but she is doing well.

Missing 11-year-old girl found in Florida WINTER SPRINGS, Fla. (AP) – A missing 11year-old central Florida girl with Asperger syndrome was found alive on Tuesday, four days after she disappeared into an alligator-infested swamp a half-mile from her suburban home. Nadia Bloom was taken to a hospital in nearby Longwood, Fla., where she will be evaluated and treated for dehydration and insect bites, said Winter Springs Police

Chief Kevin Brunelle. “If I never believed in miracles, I sure do now,” Brunelle said during an afternoon news conference. Brunelle said Nadia told rescuers two things: “I’m glad you guys found me” and “I can’t believe you guys rescued me.” Her sister has said Bloom, who has an autismrelated disorder called Asperger syndrome, may have gone into the dense woods hoping to make a nature video. It took near-

ly two hours for rescuers to carry Nadia out of the thick brush and swamp. It wasn’t police who located her. James King, who goes to church with Nadia’s family, found her Tuesday morning in a dry patch in the middle of the swamp and called authorities. King climbed a tree and unfurled toilet paper in an attempt to draw attention to where they were. Brunelle said he dispatched a helicopter to

state and federal investigations, and he’ll focus on what actions should be taken to prevent such explosions in the future. “I want a transparent third party, that’s not attached in any way, shape or form,” Manchin said. McAteer conducted similar probes of the Sago mine disaster that killed 12 and the Aracoma Alma No. 1 mine fire that killed two miners. He told AP he expects to focus on the apparent failure of systems meant to prevent such a disaster. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama was to meet Thursday with federal labor and mine safety officials to discuss preliminarily what may have caused the blast.

Under socialism, leaders dictate national policy A letter writer recently suggested that those referring to the current administration being socialist look it up in the dictionary. I doubt that he did, or if he did, he either did not understand it, or simply chose to interpret it to suit his point of view. This is in itself is the essence of socialism – situational ethics which allow the rulers the twisting of the law of the land to fit their agenda and then refer to the constitution as a living document. Socialism in its ultimate form has the government control all means of production and distribution and eventually own it. To pretend that since that has not been accomplished yet, the administration is not socialistic, is burying one’s head in the sand. Socialism as practiced by various countries is not a dictionary definition, but a process where the rulers reserve for themselves to dictate national policy, where the enforcers see to it that it gets done, and where those to be ruled are kept dumb and uniformed so that the rulers have someone to rule. See excerpts from Wikipedia, by Thomas E. Brewton and quotes: “For socialists, there is no higher power than the minds of intellectuals, who can create conditions of benevolent equality for all of us, if we just grant them the

A proper memorial for Wilkins

F

ormer High Point minister and City Councilman Ron Wilkins will be remembered for his husky, booming voice and a hearty laugh that originated deep within a soul that truly reflected inner peace despite the circumstance. And he will be missed by all fortunate enough to have known him. Wilkins, a former pastor of East Grimes Avenue Baptist Church, a former taxi driver, a former homeless shelter worker, a former city recreation department employee and a former Enterprise carrier died last Friday in Winston-Salem. He would have been 54 on Saturday. He battled diabetes for many years. During his 11 years on City Council, Wilkins was a representative of and a voice for people just like himself – those of lesser economic means, those city residents who many times do not have much of a voice in City Council chambers. Also during his time on Council, Wilkins led an unsuccessful campaign for naming a city street after the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. And while he was at the center of that controversy, Wilkins exhibited a sincerity in his cause and a graciousness in its defeat by City Council that should be an example for others taking their causes before City Council. Additionally, Wilkins lobbied City Council for expanding Hi tran, the city’s municipal bus system. Longer hours and more service routes would better serve the city’s residents, Wilkins said, particularly those with lower incomes and no personal vehicles who depend on public transportation. That’s why, as a lasting tribute to Wilkins, City Council and the city’s transportation officials should name the municipal transit terminal on W. Broad Avenue in memory of Wilkins. But even more so, the city should totally commit to transit system upgrades and improvements such as those sought by Wilkins. Such enhancements will benefit citizens who depended on Wilkins to be their voice, and an improved city transit system will provide benefits to us all.

‘Under-representation’ is not a synonym for discrimination

N

o dogma has caused more mischief – and, in some countries, tragedies – than the notion that there is something strange and wrong when some groups are “over-represented” or “under-represented” in some occupations or institutions. This dogma is so widely accepted, and so deeply entrenched, that no one asks for evidence and no speck of evidence is offered. Moreover, tons of evidence to the contrary are ignored. Over the centuries, and in countries around the world, all sorts of groups have been disproportionately concentrated in particular occupations and at different income levels, and have had radical differences in their behavior, from rates of alcoholism to rates of crime and infant mortality. Often some minority, with no political power, has outperformed the dominant majority in lucrative or prestigious professions. Yet, through sheer assumption and repetition, the opposite view – that any “under-representation” of any group in desirable situations or their “over-representation” in undesirable situations must be due to the way they are treated by others – has become the prevailing dogma of a secular religion. Not only the media and politicians, but intellectuals and even the highest courts in the land, presume discrimination when some groups are “under-represented” in an employer’s workforce or are “over-represented” among children disciplined in school. Tests that show some groups more proficient than others are declared to be “culturally biased.” Higher infant mortality among some groups are assumed to be society’s fault for not providing “access” to prenatal care for all. A major factor in the housing boom and bust that created the present economic predicament was massive government intervention in the housing market, supposedly to correct discrimination in mortgage lending. How did they know that there was discrimi-

nation? Because blacks were turned down for mortgage loans at a higher rate than whites. It so happens that whites were turned down for mortgage loans at a higher rate than Asian Americans, but that fact seldom made it into the newspaper headOPINION lines or the political rhetoric. Nor did either the mainstream Thomas media or political leaders menSowell tion the fact that black-owned ■■■ banks turned down black mortgage loan applicants at least as often as white-owned banks did. There was never the slightest reason to expect the different racial or ethnic groups in the United States to have the same credit ratings or the same behavior or performance in any other way, when both racial and non-racial groups of various sorts have for centuries had radically different patterns of behavior and performance in countries around the world. The difference between per capita income in Eastern Europe and Western Europe has long been greater than the difference in per capita income between blacks and whites in America. Yet, despite the fact that group differences have been the rule – not the exception – in all sorts of times and places, many people in these places and times have pointed to such disparities in their own country as evidence of something strange, if not sinister. Not all of this was simply a matter of intellectual confusion. Political power was the pot of gold at the end of this rainbow. Race hustling can also be a lucrative occupation, as Jesse Jackson – among others – has demonstrated in the United States. As long as we keep buying it, the hustlers will keep selling it.

Woman pleads no contest to killing 4 teens MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. (AP) – A woman accused of driving drunk when she caused a crash that killed four Michigan teenagers has pleaded no contest to four counts of second-degree murder. Frances Dingle of Mount Clemens entered the plea Tuesday in Macomb County Circuit Court. A no-contest plea is not an admission of guilt, but is treated as such for sentencing purposes. Authorities say the 48-year-old Dingle was drunk when she caused the March 2009 crash in the Detroit suburb of Roseville. Defense attorney Michael Dennis had said it would be hard for Dingle to get a fair trial because of the extensive news coverage of the crash.

Petition drive urges Russia not to halt adoptions NEW YORK (AP) – Worried over a threatened freeze of adoptions from Russia, thousands of American adoption advocates are petitioning leaders of the two nations to prevent such a step even as they decry a Tennessee woman returning her adopted son to Russia. Poignant pleas from would-be adoptive parents were included in the petition to President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart, Dmitri Medvedev,

that was being coordinated Tuesday by the Joint Council on International Children’s Services. The council, which represents many U.S. agencies engaged in international adoption, estimates there are about 3,000 pending U.S. applications for adoptions from Russia. “My husband and I have been working toward a Russian adoption for two years now,� wrote Susan Busek, a teacher from Loveland, Colo. “Please know

that there are many would-be parents like us, who want only the opportunity to be parents and give our love.� The petition, which quickly gathered more than 11,000 electronic signatures, is a response to the outcry in Russia over the incident last week in which a nurse from Tennessee arranged to send her 7-year-old adoptive son back to Moscow alone on a plane, asserting that the boy had severe psychological problems.

Russia’s foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, and its children’s rights ombudsman, Pavel Astakhov, have suggested that Russia suspend all U.S. adoptions until Moscow and Washington sign a bilateral adoption agreement.

Arnold: County jobs may be cut BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

AT A GLANCE

–

GUILFORD COUNTY – Commissioner Steve Arnold expects County Manager Brenda Jones-Fox to offer a 2011 county budget Thursday with no property tax increase and possible staff cuts. Last June, the Guilford County Board of Commissioners passed a $586 million budget with no tax increase. “And that is what I expect to see from the manager,” Arnold, who has been close to budget negotiations, said Tuesday. “That has been a directive from the board. She has made a number of reductions and found efficiencies.” Commissioners will get a look at the manager’s suggestions during a 5:30 p.m. meeting in the Old Courthouse. Arnold, a High Point Republican and board vice chairman, said he expects to see staff layoffs and furloughs. “Some of this could happen before the start of the year,” he said. “There could be some elimination of positions and transfers to other jobs. There will be reductions, no doubt.” County officials are dealing with no-grow hard times. “The property tax base is flat, and for the first time that I can remember, the base in High Point is reducing,” Arnold said. “That is part of the dire straits were are in.”

Total proposed budget is $585 million. Tax rate: Unchanged at 73.74 cents per $100 valuation, or $1,475 for the owner of a $200,000 home. Savings: $4.3 million from job cuts, $12 million from expected retirements and $5.4 million from reducing a bond package. Jobs: 81 fewer county jobs projected. Vote: 9-2 with Democratic Commissioner Paul Gibson and Republican Commissioner Billy Yow voting against the plan. Last June, commissioners kept the funding level for the school district operations at $175 million. This year, the district wants $6.4 million more. “I think the manager will do what she said she would do and offer a flat budget,” Arnold said. “The schools will have to do with the same amount. But that could be better for them. Other departments are getting reductions.” Superintendent Mo Green wants an additional $3.4 million, partly to cover expansion costs, and an additional $3 million for repairs and maintenance to restore the $7 million contribution commissioners had provided for years. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Shrinking coffers may affect many groups BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – A shrinking 2011 budget means that county funding for libraries and community groups will probably stay the same, Republican Commissioner Steve Arnold said Tuesday. Library funding became a hot point this year before county leaders started budget talks. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners cut support for the High Point Neal F. Austin Public Library in the current budget by 19 percent, to $385,000. City officials absorbed the cut in the city budget. The county appropriation is about 7 percent of the library’s $5 million budget. Commissioners have donated as much as $475,000. “Library funding should stay about the same based on population,” Arnold said. Almost every year, commissioners battle over which community groups – from the N. C. Shakespeare Festival to various YMCAs and art groups – will get county support. Here are some other budget concerns:

• Debt: The county will need to pay an additional $20 million to service voter-approved bond debts for school construction projects, a new $85 million downtown Greensboro jail annex and expansions at Guilford Technical Community College. Debt payments for authorized projects are expected to peak at close to $100 million over the next two years. Debt is expected to grow to as much as 18 percent of the operating budget. • Jail: Sheriff BJ Barnes has estimated he will need to hire 166 additional jailers within a year to staff the new 1,000-bed jail annex. That could cost as much as $8 million, according to some estimates. With the jail scheduled to open in 2012, county officials must decide if they want to include some jail positions in the 2011 budget. • Agencies: County leaders want to hold the county’s contribution to the Department of Social Services at $19 million. Last month, agency leaders began work on eliminating 13 jobs. But DSS also carried 25 vacancies.

Shanda Burrell, 32, of Charlotte, holds a census sign in Charlotte during a rally by census advocates at the Mas Jid Ash-Shaheed mosque. The rally was held to convince people to fill out the 2010 census form.

Census Bureau encourages Muslims to complete surveys RALEIGH (AP) – Nine years of scrutiny have made some American Muslims wary of the federal government, and that has the U.S. Census Bureau working to make sure its crucial survey doesn’t become a casualty of fear. Muslims are not the only group the agency has identified as needing special attention, but they may be among the likeliest to shun the mailin questionnaires. America’s Muslim population includes large numbers of recent immigrants, and community leaders say nearly a decade of bearing the brunt of the country’s post Sept. 11 terrorism fears have taken their toll. “You still have people in a kind of paranoid state of mind,” said Khalilah Sabra, director of the Muslim American Society’s Freedom Foundation in North Carolina. That might be particularly true in the RaleighDurham area, she said, where seven local Muslim men were arrested

in July and charged with plotting to travel overseas to carry out acts of terrorism. Sabra, who is working to convince Muslims in the area to participate, says she’s heard many times this year from people who plan to ignore the census forms out of fear. Jihad Shawwa, of Raleigh, has heard the same concerns, but says those fears risk putting American Muslims in a position where they don’t take full advantage of their citizenship. “I’m not going to stretch my mind to the point where I’m living in fear because I’m a Muslim,” he said. Even absent the fresh trauma of the 2009 arrests, some of the area’s 30,000 to 40,000 Muslims would likely be wary of the census, said Mohamed El-Gamal, who leads the local Muslim American Public Affairs Council. “If what happened in July had not happened, skeptical people would still be skeptical,” he said.

Thomas W. Harris ASHEBORO – Thomas Wade “Tommy” Harris, 61, died April 7, 2010, at Randolph Hospital. Funeral will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday at Pugh Funeral Home Chapel, Randleman.

Authorities raid suspected dog-fighting site MOUNT OLIVE (AP) – Private investigators from Georgia joined authorities in eastern North Carolina in raiding a suspected dog-fighting operation. A statement from Atlanta-based Norred & Associates said the firm assisted the Duplin County Sheriff’s Department in Tuesday’s raid. The firm said 35 dogs were rescued. Officials with the sheriff’s department were unavailable for additional comment on Tuesday.

The census is prohibited from sharing information that could identify individuals, including with other federal agencies or law enforcement. Census workers also take an oath, swearing for life to protect the confidentiality of data, with a possible five years in prison for breaching that trust. Technically, no Muslims will be counted at all. Also absent from the count will be Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians and religious believers and unbelievers of all kinds because religion is not a category tracked by the census. Still, for Americans who have been the subject of suspicion since the September 11 attacks – many from countries where governments put little stock in oaths or restraint – the survey is a tough sell. “It’s very hard to convince people that this is going to be a vital tool to help them,” said Sabra. “They’re afraid that information will be used not for them, but against them some time in the future.”

Trial of ex-governor’s aide delayed by a week

AP

New voices The Rev. Jim Barefoot of Anderson, S.C., enjoys the many birdhouses at his home. Barefoot lost the natural ability to use his voice from working in the sub-zero weather in Alaska as a pastor shortly before returning in 1993. He he now uses a voice modulator to help him speak.

Judge suspended from bench indefinitely CHARLOTTE (AP) – A North Carolina judge has been suspended from the bench without the state’s chief justice giving a reason. Mecklenburg County District Court Judge John Totten was sidelined indefinitely by Supreme Court Chief Justice Sarah Parker, who did not cite a reason in her order signed March 26 and made public Monday. A spokeswoman for the state’s Administrative Office of the Courts said the reason for Totten’s suspension is a personnel matter that she couldn’t discuss, The Charlotte Observer reported Tuesday. A message left by The Associated Press at a

telephone number listed in Totten’s name was not returned Monday. Paul Ross, executive director of the North Carolina Judicial Standards Commission, which investigates allegations of ethical violations, would neither confirm nor deny if a complaint had been filed against Totten. The commission can issue private letters of caution or publicly reprimand judges. It can also recommend that the state Supreme Court censure, suspend or remove a judge. Totten had been on medical leave from late October until he was allowed to return for half days in early January, a court of-

ficial told the newspaper. Two other district judges in North Carolina’s most populous county have been disciplined in the past year. Last April, the standards commission accused Judge Bill Belk of “willful misconduct” for continuing to serve on corporate boards and for behavior during a confrontation with Chief District Judge Lisa Bell. Belk resigned in November. A week later, the standards commission recommended that the state Supreme Court remove him from the bench. If that happens, he would be banned from again holding a judicial position.

Boyfriend uses daughter to skirt commitment

D

ear Abby: My boyfriend and I have been together for a number of years, and were close friends before dating. We have lived together for 10 months now and pretty much act like a married couple. I feel I am ready to become engaged. He, on the other hand, feels we should wait until his 16-year-old daughter, “Lacy,” moves out – either back with her mother or on her own. He doesn’t feel it’s “right” for us to marry before then. We are both adults, and while I don’t want to disregard Lacy’s feelings, I think this is something WE should decide. We have told her many times that our relationship doesn’t mean Daddy loves her any less. Something in me is beginning to think he’s just making excuses and he won’t “buy the cow” as long as he’s getting the milk for free. I feel like I am ... Floating In Limbo in Delaware Dear In Limbo: You and your boyfriend need to have a frank talk because it appears you thought moving in with him would bring you a firm commitment, and he appears to be happy with the status quo. If you haven’t already done so, tell him exactly what you have told me, because what you have written makes perfect sense. And if he’s unwilling to budge, then it’s time for you to “moo-ve” out.

Dear Abby: I recently attended a funeral of someone close. It was a sad ADVICE time for me, but it Dear sparked an Abby idea that ■■■ may bring comfort to my family and friends when it’s my time to go. Abby, would it be out of line to make a goodbye video of myself? It would include fond memories that would put a smile on someone’s face and allow my family and friends to remember me as I was alive, not as I lay in a coffin. Instead of a plastic bookmark, I could leave a DVD of my final goodbyes. I have a health problem and don’t know how long I have, so I’d like to know what you and your readers think about my idea. I trust your advice, Abby, so please let me know. – Final Farewell, Upstate New York Dear Farewell: As long as your video is done tastefully, I see no reason why you shouldn’t do it. We live in an age when video and YouTube are a part of our everyday lives. I’m sure your memento will be treasured by the loved ones you leave behind.

Dear Abby: For Valentine’s Day I bought a dozen red roses and had them delivered to my

girlfriend’s workplace. On her way home that evening, she made a stop at the grocery store and encountered a distraught young man near tears because he couldn’t afford to buy flowers for his girlfriend. She offered him money but he refused, so she gave him the roses I bought for her. (Abby, they had cost me more than $82!) The whole episode still has me upset. I know the roses were a gift and she had every right to do with them as she wished. But I think what she did was thoughtless and insensitive and didn’t take my feelings into consideration. She says I am narrow-minded because I don’t see it from her perspective. What do you think? – Grinched in Iowa Dear Grinched: I can see how, having spent as much as you did for the roses, you could be upset. I can also see how your kindhearted girlfriend might have had pity on the guy and acted on impulse. While the roses were hers, she could have accomplished the same thing by giving him one or two of the roses to give to his girlfriend. However, if you care about this relationship, you’ll stop brooding and drop the matter.

Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

RALEIGH (AP) – The start of the trial of a former aide to ex-North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley on corruption-related charges will be delayed by a week, a federal judge ruled Tuesday. U.S. District Judge Terrence Boyle signed an onepage order to begin Ruffin Poole’s trial May 3, instead of an earlier choice of April 26. Poole’s attorney asked for an August trial because

he needed more time to review tens of thousands of pages of documents provided by U.S. attorneys prosecuting Poole on 57 counts. The prosecutors told Boyle last week they were ready to go on the April date. A phone call for Joe Zeszotarski, Poole’s lawyer, left after business hours Tuesday wasn’t immediately returned. Poole, 38, of Raleigh, is accused of helping move along state permits for coastal

housing projects while receiving gifts and making a sizable investment return on two of those subdivisions. Poole has pleaded not guilty to all the counts, which include bribery, money laundering and tax evasion. Zeszotarski said last week in court he had to review more than 50,000 pages of documents, and was aware of more than 30 state witnesses and more than 20 people he wants to call as witnesses for Poole.

Treatment of heartburn can interfere with vitamin and mineral absorption

D

ear Dr. Donohue: Doctors don’t give me a definite answer to this question, so I hope you can. Since Aciphex reduces stomach acid, is it true that such a reduction could interfere with the absorption of vitamins and other nutrients in my diet? The insert that comes with Aciphex says it may interfere with the absorption of B vitamins. Two years ago, after a scope exam of my esophagus showed I had esophageal erosions, the doctor prescribed Aciphex. She commented that this would be for an indefinite time. What does this mean for my nutrition? – T.S.

Aciphex is one of the five proton pump inhibitors. In this instance, “proton” is a synonym for “acid.” These medicines have been true breakthroughs in the treatment of GERD, gastroesophageal reflux disease (heartburn) and ulcers. No other medicines equal them in decreasing acid production. The other members of this family are: Prilosec (omeprazole), Prevacid, Protonix and Nexium. Stomach acid facilitates the absorption of iron, vitamin B-12 and calcium carbonate, the kind of calcium often chosen as a supplement. Interference with iron absorption is a theoretical possibility that hasn’t been proven. The

suppression of vitamin B12 absorption is an issue if the only supply of this HEALTH vitamin comes from Dr. Paul what’s Donohue obtained ■■■ in foods. Vitamin B-12 in pill form can still be absorbed. If your body level of B-12 is low, take a B-12 supplement. Calcium carbonate has to have some stomach acid in order for adequate amounts of calcium to enter the blood. This problem can be avoided by taking another kind of calcium, calcium citrate. It is not dependent on stomach acid for absorption. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am 57. I have developed a swollen testicle. I have no pain. It’s about three times the size it used to be. I was seen by a urologist and had an ultrasound. I was told there is fluid around the testicle but not to worry about it. What causes this? – L.L. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am 47. My testicle has grown to the size of a medium apple. I am not in any pain, and have sex without any problem. I am scared to have this looked at and don’t know what kind of doctor takes care of this kind of thing. Any help is appreciated. – Anon.

Making a diagnosis without seeing the patient is fraught with danger. What I am about to say is a guess. For Anon, who hasn’t seen a doctor, you should. The family doctor or a urologist is the one to consult. What you both describe fits the description of a hydrocele (HI-drow-seal). In a darkened room, light from a flashlight applied to the back of the scrotum can be seen coming through the front. The liquid in the scrotum is clear fluid. It comes either from the abdominal cavity or from the double-ply lining tissue that covers the testicles. The fluid accumulates between the two plies of tissue. Most hydroceles are idiopathic. That word means the cause isn’t known. If they are not too large and if they aren’t painful, they can be left alone. Draining the fluid almost always is followed by a repeat accumulation of it. Surgical removal is the only way to get rid of a hydrocele completely. In younger men, a hydrocele can result from a testicular tumor. Such tumors are found between the ages of 15 and 40. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Charles the Chef’s mission is to get children to eat a healthier diet.

Healthy Kids Day Author brings tales of Charles the Chef to Chavis YMCA BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – When Roosevelt Pitt Jr. saw his young nephew struggling with childhood obesity, he did more than merely shake his head. He cooked up a good idea – a kidfriendly character named Charles the Chef, who teaches youths about the importance of a healthy diet and an active lifestyle. “When I saw how my nephew’s weight was getting out of control, I wondered why there were no characters out there focused only on healthy eating,” says Pitt, of Pilot Mountain. “So Charles the Chef was born out of that need to help kids overcome and avoid what my nephew was experiencing – childhood obesity.” Pitt and his longtime friend, Mshindo Kuumba, co-created Charles the Chef and several other

characters back in 2004, and since then they’ve been on a mission to spread their message of healthy eating. Saturday morning, they’ll be featured at the YMCA Healthy Kids Day celebration at the Carl Chavis Memorial Branch YMCA. “As childhood obesity rates continue to climb rapidly, it is important that we educate not only children, but the entire family about eating and living healthy,” says Carlvena Foster, executive director of the Carl Chavis YMCA. Pitt and Kuumba – the author and illustrator, respectively – use their characters to make that learning process fun for children. “We try to combine the educational components of eating healthy and warning kids about the harmful effects of childhood obesity,” Pitt says. They begin by reading from their storybook series, “Food Adven-

tures With Charles the Chef,” and then engage the children in a discussion about their eating habits. That’s followed by a demonstration of physical activity – Kuumba is an accomplished professional dancer and martial artist – and then they prepare a healthy smoothie for the children to sample. “We use that as an educational component, too,” Pitt explains. “We teach what’s in it and why ingredients are important to your health, because knowing what you are eating increases your ability to make good decisions. The smoothie has bananas, blueberries and strawberries, so we teach them what bananas give your body, what blueberries give your body and what strawberries give your body.” The Charles the Chef presentations seem to resonate with children, according to Pitt.

“We’ve connected with something that is important to children,” he says. “Most kids want to be smart, most boys want to be strong, and most of the children we come in contact with want to be healthy. They don’t want to be sick – who wants to be sick? So we tell them there are things they can eat to strengthen their muscles. Blueberries bring nutrients to the brain. Bananas give us potassium and vitamin C.” Knowledge is the key, Pitt says. “The whole idea is to instill and teach them in a short amount of time that food has a purpose – to comfort us and to keep us healthy – but you have to know where to find the right foods and how they can help,” he says. “And that’s something even adults can embrace.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

“I’ve written before about my husband the hypochondriac,” a fan says. “He’s worse. He’s eating an apple every six hours, trying to keep four doctors away. And yes, he still postmortems every deal.” As today’s declarer, my fan’s husband played low from dummy on the first trump. “East took the king,” my fan writes, “and shifted to the jack of spades. My hubby won, drew trumps, took his diamond tricks and second high spade, and exited with a spade. West won and led a club, and East got two club tricks. “My husband has asked me ever since if he misplayed. Did he?”

DAILY QUESTION

DISCARD

You hold: S A 7 2 H A 9 7 2 D K 10 6 C K 6 3. Your partner opens one heart, and the next player passes. What do you say?

South’s play wasn’t terrible. After all, West might have had the king of trumps. Perhaps South should win the first trump, not giving East a chance for a spade shift, and lead a club from dummy. East wins and shifts to spades, but South leads another club, setting up dummy’s king for a spade discard in time. If West had the queen of clubs, South would still make his game if West also had the ace.

ANSWER: The outdated response is three hearts, forcing. Now, players use an artificial forcing raise, such as 2NT, combined with “limit” double-raises. Over 2NT, the opening bidder jumps to four hearts with no slam interest, bids three hearts to leave room for slam investigation, or bids three of a new suit to show a singleton there. West dealer Both sides 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.

Children surround a mountain biker in remote Moroccan village.

What a wonderful world - really L

ast year, after my honeymoon to Africa, I struggled a bit to find the right material from that extraordinary experience to write about in my column. Happily, I came through with two of my personal favorite columns. This year, as I’m finishing up our trip to the Canary Islands, Morocco and Portugal, I realized that I have more than enough material for a column. Consequently, I will share some highlights and also encourage you to visit my “A Dad’s Point-of-View” Facebook page where I’ve posted many photos from the trip (www.facebook.com/aDadsPointOfView). Many things struck me on this trip, but the children affected me the most. The more I travel (and to the more exotic the places), the more I realize how similar we all are. And the children strikingly make that point as their faces so often reflect the joys of life – in spite of whatever hardships their countries may be suffering. To me, that is the hope for the future when I otherwise occasionally get discouraged by world events. For instance, we went on a camel caravan in a very remote area, an hour’s drive from Marrekech, Morocco. The four-wheel drive vehicles took us to what literally felt like the middle of nowhere. We arrived at a small village that looked as if it was built from adobe and seemed in ruins.

It was actually home to several families, and we saw some children exuberantly playing in the dust and dirt, alongside the various animals running around (chickens, donkeys, turkeys, etc). A DAD’S My camel guide was a young boy from this POINT remote village. His name OF VIEW was Aziz, and he spoke little English and even Bruce less French, which is the Sallan more common second ■■■ language of Morocco. But, we had the common language of smiles and signing of sorts with our hands. I learned that he was 14. And, I saw that he was happy. He was happy living in the middle of nowhere, with camels as friends and no X-box, cell phone or mall in sight. His joy and upbeat nature was palpable, and I loved it. We laughed at the baby camels and their mothers bleating along with other funny noises of protest. In the souks and the medinas (narrow groups of buildings with labyrinths of winding streets and shops) we also saw groups of children going or coming from school. They were always laughing, playing and otherwise joyful. Yes, we saw the poverty in some places, and there were kids and others begging, but for the most part, we saw

joy on the faces of the children we encountered. I found all these encounters with the local people and children to be an ironic contrast to some of the discussions we had with our adult travel companions. First, it was evident that each person had his or her own story and as is so often the case, you don’t really know someone until you know him or her well. It was also very clear that each member of our group had overcome hurdles and challenges in his or her life, regardless of background or economic advantage or success. I was particularly struck by the many variations of family units, marriages, children and such that we learned about. It was as if the old-fashioned nuclear family of one marriage, kids, and a home with a picket fence was totally a thing of the past, given the different configurations of family units we learned about. I’m fond of quoting Joseph Telushkin’s mother, as quoted regularly by Dennis Prager, who said, “The only happy people I know are people I don’t know well.” Human nature is such that we compare ourselves to what we think we know about other people, and I assert that the adage that you would rather hang onto your own problems than trade with another is sage wisdom. And, when I travel around the world, I become even more grateful for the

privileges of my life, though the older I get the more I recognize the foolishness of judging other cultures and people by my standards. Yes, there is absolute good and evil, but I’ll leave that for the political pundits and writers and leave my assertions to the micro of family life. So, here I was in a country with rampant poverty, joyful children and beauty everywhere, and I was getting e-mail from my boys complaining about the minutiae of their lives. My older teen was just plain moody, while my younger one was worried over the details of a school project. That is their world and their reality, so my longdistance job was to relate to their daily concerns while at the same time marveling at the things I was experiencing on my trip. Parenting never stops. Parents everywhere strive to provide for their children and I have to leave you with the sweet words of Louis Armstrong: “What a wonderful world.” BRUCE SALLAN gave up his showbiz career a decade ago to raise his two boys, full-time, now 13 and 16. His internationally syndicated column, A Dad’s Point-of-View, is his take on the challenges of parenthood and male/female issues, both as a single dad and now, newly remarried, in a blended family.

director Ron Wellman described as a pattern of late-season fades. Wake Forest focused its search on Bzdelik for most of the week that the job was open. Over the weekend, he emerged as the only publicly known candidate, and he issued a statement Sunday acknowledging that he would speak to school officials about the opening. His old boss, Colorado AD Mike Hohn, said he was monitoring the Demon Deacons’ pursuit

of his coach “on a daily basis, on an hourly basis, actually.” The 57-year-old Bzdelik is no stranger to either his new boss or his new employer; his daughter is enrolled at Wake Forest. Bzdelik and Wellman have known each other for roughly three decades, since they were at Northwestern in the early 1980s – Wellman as the baseball coach and Bzdelik as a men’s basketball assistant.

HPU hopes Solomon proves wise recruit BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

Cameron Solomon is a 6-foot-4 shooting guard described by his coach at Lovejoy High School in Georgia as a late bloomer who went under the radar of some colleges. But not under the scope of High Point University coach Scott Cherry. Solomon, whose scoring average jumped 10 points last season to 22.6 as he earned allregion honors and led Lovejoy to the Georgia AAAAA playoffs for the first time in five years, will ink a national letter of intent with the Panthers in a ceremony at his school located near Atlanta Motor Speedway when the spring signing period opens today. “I kept telling coaches last summer that he had really gotten better,” Lovejoy coach Rick Francis said. Francis said Solomon chose HPU over Troy, Florida A&M, Southern, Buffalo and a late offer from Cincinnati. Seattle and Georgia were also among schools that showed interest. “It was the academics and the coaches presentation,” Francis said. “For Cameron and his parents, the academics was the most important piece.” Solomon was a finalist for AAAAA player of the year and was nominated for the McDonald’s All-America team. Becom-

ing more versatile played a significant role in his improvement, according to Francis. Lovejoy played in a conference that included schools south and west of Atlanta. “He finally started doing some things that we had been telling him to do for three years,” Francis said. “He became more versatile and more aggressive. He quit relying on being just a jump shooter and started taking the ball to the rack. And, he also began to appreciate the advantages of working in the weight room and getting stronger.” Solomon isn’t the only player expected to ink with the Panthers during the signing period that will run through May 19. John Brown, a 6-8 post player who averaged 14 points and 12 rebounds for Arlington Country Day School in Jacksonvile, Fla., has committed to the Panthers. Arlington won five straight 2A championships before losing in the 1A title game this season. Also, scout.com reported forward Du’Vaughn Maxwell, a 6-6, 195-pound forward who averaged 18.4 points and eight rebounds for Petersburg High in Virginia, will choose HPU over Hawaii. Maxwell helped Petersburg go 30-1, the only loss coming in the Class AAA championship game.

Friendly rivalry goes to Wheatmore BY JASON QUEEN SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

TRINITY – Driving to Wheatmore for a softball game might have felt like the next best thing to a home game for Trinity on Tuesday. The Bulldogs made the 10-minute trek down Finch Farm Road, passing by rolling pastures and neatly manicured lawns in Steeplegate and Finch Village. And when the Bulldogs walked up to the field, they saw familiar faces they had shared a diamond with all their lives: Cat Tupper was in the circle, Taylor Walker was behind the plate and Martika Yousef was holding down the fort at first base. But for one day, anyway, those old friends were trying to beat the

Bulldogs and put themselves in position to win a conference championship. That’s what all the athletes in this quiet community are faced with since Wheatmore was built this year: half of the powder blue, from uniforms to bumper stickers to sweatshirts, has been traded in for Warrior red. Tupper, a sophomore, was in complete control Tuesday. She scattered five hits and struck out six to lead the Warriors to a convincing 9-2 victory, setting up a PAC-6 showdown with Randleman on Friday. The Warriors are spotless in the conference so far and two losses to East Davidson are the only blemishes on their record. Wheatmore’s offense provided plenty of support, banging out 15 hits and taking advantage

of four Trinity errors. Walker was 3-for-3 with a two-run homer and four runs scored, Yousef had three hits and drove in two, Ambershay Stacy had three hits, and Betty Denny and Taylor Pridgen had two hits apiece. Wheatmore athletic director Eugene Everhart is always glad to see Trinity pull in the parking lot. He said the crowds for all events, regardless of the sport, are much larger when the newfound rivals come calling. He also applauded the community’s behavior, saying there have been no ugly incidents that he’s aware of between the two schools. While the large crowd was more than cordial to the opposition, even gently prodding at old

friends with occasional jokes, Tupper was thrilled to get the win. “Definitely,” she said. “I’ve been nervous all day, but after the first inning I relaxed and knew my teammates had my back. “I played with those girls last year, and I definitely wanted to show them what Wheatmore had.” What Wheatmore had, according to Trinity standout Scout Albertson, was the bulk of the Bulldogs’ roster. “Considering that’s pretty much our whole team from last year, it was a game that was important to us and we wanted to win,” she said. “Our only returners are our four seniors, and they don’t have any seniors, so they pretty much took our whole team.

HIT AND RUN

O

nce upon a time, everyone knew the name of the world heavyweight boxing champion. Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, George Foreman, Larry Holmes. These men were champions, larger-thanlife heroes to many. If you’re like me, the names of the current heavyweight champions (I say champions because boxing is littered with too many

organizations with too many letters) are lost on you. For the record, Wladimir Klitschko holds two of the “major” titles, while Vitali Klitschko owns one. The other heavyweight champion is none other than 47-year-old Evander Holyfield, who knocked out 41-year-old Frans Botha to take the WBF crown on Saturday night in Las Vegas. A crowd of 3,127 that could not get tickets

to see Wayne Newton settled for HolyfieldBotha instead. It marked Holyfield’s first fight since December of 2008. I’m not going to kick boxing while it’s down. The fact a 47-year-old beat a 41-yearold for a share of the world heavyweight title says it all about the current state of the sweet science.

WHO’S NEWS

---

Former Duke star Bobby Hurley will join his brother’s staff at Wagner. Dan Hurley was hired last week to coach the Seahawks, and the school announced Tuesday his older brother would serve as an assistant coach. Bobby Hurley worked as a scout for the Philadelphia 76ers for a year but has no college or pro coaching experience. The 38year-old former point guard is still the NCAA career assist leader. He led the Blue Devils to consecutive national championships in 1991 and 1992 and was an AP All-American in 1993. Hurley became a thoroughbred racehorse owner and breeder after playing five seasons in the NBA. Dan Hurley turned St. Benedict’s Prep in Newark, N.J., into one of the nation’s top prep basketball programs. Their father, Bob Sr., recently became just the third high school coach elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

Some of the bottom feeders in NASCAR’s premier division made changes on Tuesday. Aric Almirola, tired of being a startand-park driver, left James Finch’s No. 09 to concentrate on driving for Billy Ballew in the NASCAR Truck Series. Finch had sponsorship from Miccosuckee Resorts and Gaming when Almirola committed for the year but the Indian Tribe pulled its funding after a change in leadership in early February. Finch’s team, which won at Talladega last April with Brad Keselowski, didn’t stay without a driver for long. Mike Bliss, who has driven for Finch in the past, parted ways with car owner Tommy Baldwin to rejoin Finch. Baldwin announced that Johnny Sauter, who has driven a second car for Baldwin in two races, will take over the primary No. 36 this week at Texas and next week at Talladega before going back to his Truck Series ride. “I’m excited about having Johnny in the No. 36 for the next couple of races and look forward to seeing what he can do,� Baldwin said. “He has been strong at Texas, especially in the Truck series, and I’m confident he can give us a solid performance in the Sprint Cup car. We will have him for a couple of races here before he will need to focus on his Truck Series team, and we hope to have a full-time driver for the No. 36

named here in the near future.� The moves weren’t limited to drivers. Unsponsored start-up team KeyedUp Motorsports said it will stop trying to make all the races after going to the first seven. “A reduced schedule will allow us to continue operations and focus our time on specific aspects of racing to make us stronger when we return to the track,� team owner Raymond Key said. The moves are not confined to the Cup Series. Kelly Bires was released as driver of JR Motorsports’ No. 88 in the Nationwide Series after just six races including five of six this year. He managed just one top-10 finish for a team that finished third in points each of the last two seasons with Keselowski as driver. The team, owned by Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Rick Hendrick, said Jamie McMurray will drive the car in nine races including the next six from Saturday’s race at Texas through the May event at Charlotte Motor Speedway. “Internally, it was evident the chemistry that is imperative for us to succeed in this highly competitive industry was simply not there,� Earnhardt’s sister and manger Kelley said in a statement. “That is the fault of no one person. We owe it to our fans and sponsors to make necessary adjustments in an effort to put our best product on the track, and we’ll continue evaluating our progress until we are confident that our full potential is being reached.� gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Consumer Reports calls Lexus SUV unsafe NEW YORK (AP) – Consumer Reports has given the Lexus GX 460 SUV a rare “Don’t Buy” warning, saying a problem that occurred during routine handling tests could lead to a rollover accident in real-world driving. In the latest blow to Toyota’s reputation, the magazine said that during a test of the vehicle’s performance during unusual turns, the rear of the vehicle slid until it was nearly sideways before the electronic stability control system kicked in. Consumer Reports said in real-world driving, such a scenario could cause a rollover accident. As a result, the magazine has given the seven-seat SUV a “Don’t Buy: Safety

Avon suspends 4 executives in probe NEW YORK – Beauty products seller Avon Products Inc. said Tuesday it put four executives on administrative leave, as part of an investigation of bribery allegations that started in China. Shares fell $2.23, or 6.4 percent, to $32.53 in midday trading. The stock has traded between $20.63 and $36.39 during the past 52 weeks.

Influential labor leader to step down WASHINGTON – One of the most politically powerful – and polarizing – union leaders in the U.S. is preparing to step down from his post. Andy Stern, president of the 2.2 million-member Service Employees International Union, plans to resign, a senior union official told employees in an e-mail on Monday.

Oil falls for fifth day in a row NEW YORK – Oil prices fell for a fifth day to below $84 a barrel Tuesday as traders mulled whether a slowly improving U.S. economy justified the recent two-month, 25 percent crude rally and experts warned that high oil prices could threaten the budding economic recovery. By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark crude for May delivery was down 76 cents to $83.58 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Risk” label until the problem is fixed. “In a real world situation, by that time, the car can hit the curb or the side of the road, and that’s the situation where, in a vehicle like that, it could cause it to roll over,” said Gabriel Shenhar, senior auto test engineer at Consumer Reports, who was one of four testers to experience the problem. Consumer Reports said the last vehicle to receive such a warning was the 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Limited. It said among the 95 SUVs in its current ratings, no other slid as far as the GX 460. In a statement Toyota said it is concerned with Consumer Reports’ findings, adding that its engi-

neers will try to duplicate the magazine’s tests to determine its next steps. “Please keep in mind that the 2010 GX 460 meets or exceeds all federal government testing requirements,” the automaker said. “We take the Consumer Reports’ test results seriously.” Starting at about $52,000, the GX 460 is a small-volume vehicle for Lexus, Toyota Motor Corp.’s luxury brand. It went on sale in November and only about 5,000 have been sold since then. But the warning represents yet another blow for Toyota’s tarnished reputation for safety following recalls of millions of vehicles for faulty gas pedals. The GX 460 is not covered by the pedal recalls.

Hard-hit areas see some recovery WASHINGTON (AP) – Economic stress declined in the nation’s most troubled areas in February as unemployment stabilized and the pace of foreclosures eased, according to The Associated Press’ monthly analysis of conditions in more than 3,100 U.S. counties. After peaking in January, economic stress dipped in February in half the states and half the 3,141 counties. “We are not out of the woods yet, and there are still a lot of things that could go wrong, but things are improving,” said David Wyss, chief economist at Standard & Poor’s in New York. The AP’s Economic Stress Index found the average county’s score in February was 11.8. That was down slightly from January’s reading of 11.9, the highest average county score since the AP started publishing the index nearly a year ago. The reading in December was

10.8, the previous high. The index calculates a score from 1 to 100 based on a county’s unemployment, foreclosure and bankruptcy rates. A higher score indicates more stress. Under a rough rule of thumb, a county is considered stressed when its score exceeds 11. Fewer than 55 percent of counties were deemed stressed in February, slightly less than in January. The nation’s most economically distressed states were, in order: Nevada (21.4), Michigan (17.84), California (16.94), Florida (16.26) and Illinois (15.37). All saw their Stress scores decline from January to February. Once again, North Dakota was the least stressed state in February with a score of 5.48. Next best were South Dakota (5.97), Nebraska (6.45), Vermont (7.64) and Louisiana. All those states, too, had lower Stress scores in February than in January.

February trade deficit increases WASHINGTON (AP) – The U.S. trade deficit widened more than expected in February as a small gain in exports to the highest level in 16 months was offset by a bigger jump in imports, reflecting increased demand for consumer goods from televisions to clothing. The wider deficit was a sign of a rebounding U.S. economy. Economists expect the trade deficit to rise this year but hope that expanding exports will continue to lift the fortunes of American

manufacturing companies. The Commerce Department reported Tuesday that the deficit for February increased 7.4 percent to $39.7 billion. That was larger than the $38.5 billion deficit economists had expected. Exports edged up 0.2 percent while imports jumped 1.7 percent. The politically sensitive deficit with China fell to $16.5 billion in February, the lowest level in 11 months, but was still the biggest trade imbalance the U.S. has with any country.

Dow stays above 11.000 NEW YORK (AP) – The Dow Jones industrial average extended its push past 11,000 Tuesday after expectations grew that stronger corporate earnings would signal that a recovery is on track. Stocks fell in early trading after quarterly results from aluminum producer Alcoa Inc. missed expectations. Major indexes later poked higher as traders jockeyed for position ahead of earnings from leading chipmaker Intel Corp., which reported strong results after the closing bell. By the close, the Dow had tacked on about 13 points. The Dow on Monday finished above the psychological benchmark of 11,000 for the first time in a year and a half. The results from Alcoa brought a disappointing start to the flow of earnings reports from the JanuaryMarch quarter. But analysts said the company’s performance didn’t provide a good indication of how other companies would do. Alcoa’s loss narrowed from a year earlier but its adjusted earnings and revenue came in below analysts’ estimates. Alcoa was the first of the 30 Dow stocks to report results. The mood could brighten today following Intel’s report. The company said its first-quarter profit nearly quadrupled from a year earlier when it booked a big loss on an investment. Nasdaq 100 index futures rose 0.4 percent following Intel’s report.

CEO defends bank’s actions before failure WASHINGTON (AP) – The former CEO of Washington Mutual, the biggest U.S. bank ever to fail, on Tuesday defended the bank’s actions to reduce risks from the looming housing bust. Kerry Killinger, who led the Seattle-based thrift, also argued that WaMu had adequate capital and shouldn’t have been seized by the government in September 2008. The bank “should have been given a chance to work its way through the crisis,” Killinger said in testimony prepared for a hearing by a Senate panel. But two former chief risk officers of Washington Mutual said they tried to curb risky lending practices by the bank and ran into resistance from top management when they brought their concerns to them. As the housing bust

deepened in late 2007 and early 2008, “I was increasingly excluded from senior executive meetings and meetings with financial advisers when the bank’s response to the growing crisis was being discussed,” Ronald Cathcart, who helped oversee risk until April 2008, testified at the hearing. By January 2008 he was “fully isolated” and was fired by Killinger a few months later, Cathcart said. The other risk officer, James Vanasek, testified that he tried repeatedly to limit the percentage of high-risk loans for borrowers who were unlikely to be able to repay and the number of loans made without verifying borrowers’ income. But his efforts fell flat “without solid executive management support,” Vanasek said.

China’s Hu rebuffs Obama on yuan BEIJING (AP) – Chinese President Hu Jintao rebuffed U.S. calls to re-value China’s currency, telling President Barack Obama that any tinkering with the yuan will be done by Beijing in accord with domestic interests. Hu defended China’s policy of pegging the yuan to the dollar at a Monday meeting with Obama in Washington and said changes to the ex-

change rate would not come from U.S. pressure. “Detailed measures for reform should be considered in the context of the world’s economic situation, its development and changes as well as China’s economic conditions. It won’t be advanced by any foreign pressure,” Hu said in remarks released by China’s Foreign Ministry on Tuesday.

Mortgage reductions draw skepticism

Ford chief says revenues, demand up DETROIT (AP) – Ford Motor Co.’s revenues rose in the first quarter thanks to strong U.S. demand for cars and trucks, Ford’s Americas President Mark Fields said Tuesday. Fields didn’t provide revenue numbers, which are expected to be released later this month. But it was more good news for the automaker, which is expected to report its fourth consecutive quarterly profit in the first quarter. Ford has benefited from Toyota’s recall woes as well as consumer goodwill because it didn’t take federal bailout money,

as General Motors and Chrysler did. Ford’s U.S. sales jumped 37 percent in the first three months of this year. Only Subaru and Volkswagen had higher gains. Ford’s year-overyear U.S. market share gain for the quarter, at 2.7 percentage points, was the largest gain since 1977, when results were skewed by a strike. “I did some research. ‘Saturday Night Fever’ was just being launched in theaters, along with ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind.’ So it’s been a long time,” Fields told reporters at an industry breakfast in Detroit.

The automaker saw market share increases across its Ford brand, according to George Pipas, Ford’s top U.S. sales analyst. The F-Series truck now holds 38.5 percent of the U.S. market, up from 33.2 percent in the first quarter last year. Sales of the Ford Fusion midsize sedan jumped 81 percent in the quarter. Ford’s Mercury and Lincoln brands held on to their market share, but didn’t see big increases. Pipas said that was partly the result of Ford’s decision to put most of its marketing resources behind the Ford brand during the economic downturn.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Top banking industry executives are skeptical about helping troubled borrowers by forgiving a portion of their debt. The executives told lawmakers on Tuesday they are reducing the amount that troubled borrowers owe on their home loans only in limited cases. That’s because consumers who are paying their mortgages on time are likely to see such reductions as unfair, the executive said. David Lowman, chief executive of JPMorgan Chase’s mortgage business, told the House Financial Services Committee that large-scale mortgage principal reduction “could be harmful to consumers, investors and future mortgage market conditions.” Chase estimates that reducing home loan balances so that no homeowners would owe more than the value of their homes would cost up to $900 billion, with $150 billion of that borne by the government. Such programs “could raise issues of fairness,” agreed Sanjiv Das, Citigroup’s top mortgage executive. The pair appeared in front of the Senate committee with top executives from Bank of America and Wells Fargo & Co. The four mortgage companies are the largest in the country and have come under fire for not doing enough to help borrowers as part of the Obama administration’s $75 billion mortgage relief program.
