“I’d hate for that to happen,” McClure responded. “I wanted to come down here myself to see what kind of traffic there was.” Wendy Corder, a Lexington resident, arrived around the same time as McClure to campaign for Davidson County sheriff candidate Terry Price, who also made an appearance Thursday morning to greet voters. “I wanted to get here, get a good parking place and get a good jump on the crowd and let people make a good choice for Davidson County,” Corder said.

YOU DECIDE

TRIAD – The Davidson County Board of Elections on Thursday remained busy for much of the morning as a steady line of residents streamed into the elections office and campaign volunteers solicited votes outside. That wasn’t quite the case at some locations in Randolph and Guilford counties on the first day for early voting in the primary. A hotly contested race for sheriff that includes former sheriff Gerald Hege among the candidates has generated huge interest in the upcoming May primaries in Davidson County. Fred McClure, who is running in the 81st State House District Republican primary, arrived at the Davidson County Board of Elections office in Lexington about 30 minutes before it opened at 8 a.m. to greet voters. McClure, who set up several campaign signs beside his car, was one of the first to cast his ballot before spending several minutes mingling with the public. “I’m going to go ahead and vote – do my duty,” he said. “I’ll have the lead for at least a minute.” Register of deeds candidate David Rickard, an incumbent, also joined McClure in the voting line. “Something might happen to us,” Rickard joked as he explained to McClure his reason for early voting. “You can never tell.”

son County. She said she decided to vote to “beat the rush,” but noted there are several races that made her come out. At the Randolph County early voting location at the Archdale Public Library, only one campaign volunteer and no candidates were out greeting voters when the polls opened at 10 a.m. Thursday. The Guilford County early voting location in High Point at the courthouse opened at 8 a.m., and an hour later there were no campaign volunteers or candidates greeting voters. Staff Writer Paul Johnson contributed to this report.

TRIAD – The presence of contested primary races in Davidson, Guilford and Randolph counties produced a steady, but not overwhelming, turnout of voters on the first day of primary early voting Thursday. Guilford County had accepted the ballots of 131 early voters just before the close of the two polls – one in High Point, one in Greensboro – at 5 p.m. Guilford County had 85 early voters on first day of what’s formally called one-stop absentee voting during the primary in 2006, the last nonpresidential election year. “It’s been steady. We haven’t had long lines, but we haven’t had long periods of time where it’s been dead quiet,” said Tim Tsujii, Guilford County early voting director. Two years ago, during the important Democratic presidential primary, early voting first-day ballots totaled 592 in Guilford County. First-day early voting primary totals in 2006 and 2008 for Randolph and Davidson counties weren’t available. The Davidson County Board of Elections, which had one early voting poll open in Lexington on Thursday, recorded 122 early votes. “It wasn’t as heavy as I expected. I really thought we’d have more,” said Board of Elections Director Ruth Huneycutt. In addition to a volatile Republican sheriff’s primary, which involves former sheriff Gerald Hege, incumbent David Grice and challenge Terry Price, Davidson County has 11 Republicans running in the Board of Commissioners primary. Randolph County had 268 ballots cast by early voters at three locations that opened Thursday, said Board of Elections Deputy Director Matt Trogdon. Primary elections play an even more critical role in Randolph County because it leans so heavily Republican that most races are decided in the GOP primary, with few Democrats running for office. Early voting continues through May 1 leading up to the May 4 primary itself. Locations and times for early voting vary with the counties. This year marks the 10th anniversary in North Carolina of the current system for early voting. What’s known as no-excuse, onestop absentee voting started with the general election of 2000. About two-thirds of the states, or 32, provide some version of early voting, reports the National Conference of State Legislatures. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Proposed Guilford County budget cuts jobs and programs BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Following her guideline to “do more with less,” County Manager Brenda Jones-Fox offered the Board of Commissioners a yet smaller 2011 budget Thursday with no property tax increase, staff cuts and a reorganization in the public health department. Even with declining revenues, Jones-Fox balanced the 2011 county budget at $568.9 million, a reduction of $17.2 million from the current budget. “This has been a tough budget in these difficult times,” she said. “No tax increase was the

goal.” Overall, revenues are expected to decline by $8.1 million, including a $891,000 drop in property tax revenues. The budget cuts 65 positions, many of which will transfer to vacancies, and offers no merit raises. It also maintains the contribution to the county school district at $175 million for the operating budget and $4 million for maintenance and repairs. As part of cuts in human services, the budget eliminates the annual $1.58 million payment to Guilford Adult Health as part of a reorganization of the public health department. The plan uses $34 million from

the fund balance to help balance the budget. Meanwhile, $19 million will go to pay county debt and $57 million to school district construction debt. “The county will continue to experience the negative effects of the economic decline in future budget years,” Jones-Fox said. “Many local revenues, such as the sales tax and property-tax related fees, will remain below levels from just a few years ago. The county’s revenue recovery will be a slow process.” The proposed budget includes cuts for arts and community groups to $435,000, or 46.5 per-

Candidates clash over who can unseat Burr MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

RALEIGH – Politely sparring in their only televised debate, Democratic Senate candidates sought Wednesday night to convince voters that they would be the strongest challenger to Republican Sen. Richard Burr in the fall. The debate was held at a crucial point in the campaign, one day before early voting begins ahead of the primary May 4. Polls suggest that the race is in flux with most Democratic voters still undecided. Sec-

retary of State Elaine Marshall holds a small lead over former state Sen. Cal Cunningham, a Lexington lawyer, and Ken Lewis, a Chapel Hill lawyer. Also participating in the debate were Marcus Williams, a Lumberton lawyer, and Ann Worthy, a Gaston County teacher. The 90-minute debate was broadcast live by NBC-17 in Raleigh and broadcast or webcast in several other markets. It was also sponsored by the League of Women Voters of North Carolina. Lewis delivered the sharpest criticism, ac-

cusing Cunningham of inconsistency on offshore oil drilling and regulatory reform of the financial industry. “Mr. Cunningham was for offshore drilling before he was against it,” Lewis said, echoing a line that that Republicans used against Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry in 2004. “That was not leadership.” Cunningham denied the assertion. “I have consistently said that offshore drilling is not the answer,” Cunningham said, warning that such drilling would put

both habitat and tourism “at risk.” The Lewis campaign later cited an Associated Press story last week in which Cunningham said he might consider drilling as part of a broader energy plan. The tone of the debate reflected the tenor of the primary – civil with relatively few ideological differences among the candidates. They were quick to jab at Burr, however. Cunningham charged that Burr voted repeatedly to send American jobs overseas.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The owner of a popular barbecue restaurant died Thursday from injuries sustained in a motorcyle accident. According to WXII 12 News, Mark Edward Thompson, 53, owner of Whitley’s BBQ Restaurant in Lexington, died Thursday when he crashed his motorcycle just before 9:30 a.m. According to the N.C. State Highway Patrol, Thompson was traveling along Parks Road when he drifted off the side of the road, struck a mailbox

and a fence, then came to a stop in a driveway culvert. He was taken to Lexington Memorial Hospital, where he later died. Troopers didn’t say what caused the crash. No other vehicles were involved. According to the Lexington Dispatch, Thompson is survived by his wife, Bonnie, and two daughters. He bought the restaurant in 1997. Whitley’s, which opened in 1972, is a participant in the annual Lexington BBQ Festival each October.

Osprey’s fumble cuts power to thousands BRUNSWICK, Maine (AP) – A Maine utility official says an osprey dropped a branch destined for its nest onto a power line, cutting power to about 6,000 customers. Central Maine Power spokesman Gail Rice says it took workers

about 90 minutes to restore power Wednesday in the Brunswick area. The slippery-taloned osprey was one of a pair that has caused problems for years. Utility workers have been doing battle with the birds of prey near a shipyard in Bath. After

the birds migrate south, workers clear their nest from the transmission pole, but the ospreys keep coming back. Rice says the utility sometimes tries to keep birds away from sensitive equipment by building nesting platforms nearby.

Defense makes case for Cooper to get life MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

AP

Master Sgt. Timothy Hennis and his wife, Angela Hennis, walk to the new Fort Bragg courthouse last week for his murder trial.

Soldier gets death sentence in 1985 family murders FORT BRAGG (AP) – A military jury on Thursday sentenced a soldier to die for the murders of a North Carolina mother and her two children in 1985. Master Sgt. Timothy Hennis did not visibly react when the verdict was read. One of his lawyers, Lt. Col. Andrew Glass, put his hand on Hennis’ back. Hennis’ wife, Angela, sitting behind the defense table, began crying and put a tissue to her eyes. The sentence for the 52year-old Hennis will be reviewed by a command-

ing officer and automatically appealed. “Timothy Hennis, I want to be perfectly clear, maintains his innocence, will continue to maintain his innocence, and we will fight for reversal of his conviction on appeal,” said Frank Spinner, a civilian defense attorney for Hennis. The 14-person military jury took less than three hours last week to convict Hennis of the premeditated murders of Kathryn Eastburn and her young daughters in their Fayetteville home. The same jury deliber-

ated for 13 hours over three days during the sentencing phase. “I think he deserves to die for what he did,” said Eastburn’s husband, Air Force Capt. Gary Eastburn, shortly after the jury announced its decision. Eastburn said it didn’t matter to him whether Hennis is executed or dies in prison, but he supports the death sentence because it leaves virtually no chance for Hennis to ever be free. Eastburn said the sentence brought a sense of vindication, but that he

had decided to try and move on with his life after an earlier trial ended with an acquittal. “I don’t want you to think I’m gloating over this,” he said. “I’m not.” Hennis was first convicted in state court but appealed and was acquitted in a second trial. He couldn’t be tried in state court again, so prosecutors brought the case to the Army after testing linked Hennis’ DNA to the crimes. Hennis had retired but was forced back into service to face the charges.

NC GOP says it will pay expenses for fundraiser RALEIGH (AP) – The North Carolina Republican Party says it will pay expenses for a fundraiser after Democrats said they couldn’t find GOP campaign records associated with the event. State Democratic Party Executive Director Andrew Whalen complained Thursday to the State Board of Elections about a golf outing last October at a Johnston County club and reception at the home of 2008 gubernatorial candidate Fred Smith. Whalen said he could find neither in-kind contributions from Smith nor payments to the club run by Smith’s family for the Senate Republican caucus event.

Ware said the services of certified master dog

trainers would be enlisted to modify the behavior of the pit bulls so they would be good candidates for adoption. “The trainers we use specialize in bully breeds,” she said. “They do a wonderful job and are very successful.” Ware and other representatives from Atlanta were in North Carolina to assist with another operation, the rescue of 35 pit bulls from a large dog fighting ring in Duplin County on Tuesday. Deputies from Wilson, Duplin and Greene counties joined in the monthlong investigation of 76-year-old Harry Hargrove’s 14-acre property at 306 Buck Hill Road, Mount Olive.

RALEIGH – Samuel J. Cooper, the man convicted this month of five first-degree murders, will die in prison, his defense attorney told jurors this morning in his final pitch before sentencing. “He’s going to die in prison, no matter what you do,” Stephen Freedman, a member of Cooper’s defense team told jurors. “You decide when he’s going to die.” The jury is set to begin deliberations today on whether the convicted killer gets the death penalty or life in prison for his crimes. Assistant District Attorney Jeff Cruden urged jurors to return a death sentence for Cooper for his “cold-blooded emotionless crimes.” He reminded jurors of other robberies that

Cooper had committed and other victims who recalled terrifying moments during those incidents. For the past month, prosecutors and the defense have tried to portray two very different portraits of the killer. Prosecutors described Cooper as “cold-blooded” and calculating, a man who intended to kill when the pulled the trigger of the handgun that ended the lives of Osama “Sam” HajHussein, 43, LeRoy Jernigan, 41, Timothy Barnwell, 34, Ricky High, 48, and Tariq Hussain, 52. The defense team has portrayed Cooper as “Sammy,” a man who suffered such several physical and emotional abuse by his father, that he was in an altered state of mind, void of emotion and the ability to make rational choice, when he was in stressful situations.

Lax enforcement led to coal-mine disaster In October 2000, a coal slurry pit in Inez, Ky., owned by Massey Energy, burst into subsurface mines, flooding downstream communities with 300 million gallons of slurry. It was the largest spill in American history and, according to the EPA, the greatest environmental catastrophe in the eastern United States. The U.S. Department of Labor was charged with investigating it. Elaine Chao, wife of Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, was the head of DOL under the new Bush administration. McConnell is the Senate’s largest recipient of coal-industry contributions, and during the investigation, he received a $100,000 campaign contribution from Massey Energy. This investigation took place during the transition from the Clinton administration to the Bush administration, and the head of the Mine Safety and Health Administration was fired on Inauguration Day. His Bushappointed replacement, Tim Thompson, said, “We are going to terminate this investigation.” The original investigation team was going to charge Massey Coal with knowing and willful violation of the law. The company had ignored safety recommendations arising from two previous slurry spills, and Massey’s own engineer stated that if the recommendations were ignored, a new spill was inevitable. But Thompson reduced eight citations from criminal negligence to two, choosing the weakest, and Massey was fined $5,600 for doing billions of dollars of damage. Sounding alarms for you? It should.

Give the Miracle momentum

M

iracle League of High Point got under way with considerable fanfair last fall. The league’s second season began April 10. The Miracle League field, off School Park Road in the High Point Athletic Complex, was designed with a custom synthetic turf and handicapped accessible dugouts, restrooms and drinking fountains. In Miracle League, physically and mentally challenged children are paired with able-bodied volunteer “buddies” who assist them in batting catching, throwing and running. Every child gets a turn at bat and in the outfield, and every child gets across home plate. The Miracle League Web site claims the point of the game is less about baseball and more about fun! With more than 60 young people playing on six teams, each player needs at least one buddy, so several dozen volunteers will be needed for each of the three Saturday morning games through May 22. For information on being a player or a buddy, call High Point Parks & Recreation Department at 883-3469 or download a form from the www.hpmiracleleague.org Web site. Raising funds for High Point’s Miracle League field took plenty of time and lots of effort from Ed Price, Parks & Rec and a large number of individuals and organizations. But the responsibility doesn’t stop now that the Miracle League is in its second season. It’s going to take lots of volunteers and a steady stream of funds to keep the momentum going, to keep the dream alive at this most fundamental level of America’s pastime. Do your part!

What is the true reason she did not show up to give morale support to those who were affected by this major tragedy? The governor represents the people of North Carolina and the reason she should have shown up is to let victims know that the people of North Carolina feel their pain and are with them. When congressional representatives visited, it did not cause a major disruption. This governor’s behavior is just another indication of how out of touch she is with the people of North Carolina. I sent an e-mail to her when the state trooper who lost his hat was fired while state police who were having sex in their vehicles while on duty were allowed to stay on the force with only minor penalties.

licans’ appointments to the Supreme Court. The biggest argument in favor of nominating him was that he could be confirmed by the Senate without a fight. Democratic presidents appoint judges who will push their political agenda from the federal OPINION bench, even if that requires stretching and twisting the ConThomas stitution to reach their goals. Sowell Republicans too often appoint ■■■ judges whose confirmation will not require a big fight with the Democrats. You can always avoid a fight by surrendering, and a whole wing of the Republican Party has long ago mastered the art of pre-emptive surrender. The net result has been a whole string of Republican justices of the Supreme Court carrying out the Democrats’ agenda, in disregard of the Constitution. John Paul Stevens has been just one. There may have been some excuse for President Ford’s picking such a man, in order to avoid a fight, at a time when he was an unelected president who came into office in the wake of Richard Nixon’s resignation in disgrace after Watergate, creating lasting damage to the public’s support of the Republicans. But there was no such excuse for the elder President Bush to appoint David Souter, much less for President Eisenhower, with back-toback landslide victories at the polls, to inflict William J. Brennan on the country. In light of these justices’ records, and in view of how long justices remain on the court, nominating such people was close to criminal negligence. If and when the Republicans return to power in Washington, we can only hope that they remember what got them suddenly and unceremoniously dumped out of power the last time. Basically, it was running as Republicans and then governing as if they were Democrats, running up big deficits, with lots of earmarks and interfering with the market. But their most lasting damage to the country has been putting people like John Paul Stevens on the Supreme Court.

GOP does disservice with appointees such as Stevens hen Supreme Court justices retire, there is usually some pious talk about their “service,” especially when it has been a long “service.” But the careers of all too many of these retiring jurists, including currently retiring Justice John Paul Stevens, have been an enormous disservice to this country. Justice Stevens was on the High Court for 35 years – more’s the pity, or the disgrace. Justice Stevens voted to sustain racial quotas, created “rights” out of thin air for terrorists, and took away American citizens’ rights to their own homes in the infamous “Kelo” decision of 2005. The Constitution of the United States says that the government must pay “just compensation” for seizing a citizen’s private property for “public use.” In other words, if the government has to build a reservoir or bridge, and your property is in the way, they can take that property, provided that they pay you its value. What has happened over the years, however, is that judges have eroded this protection and expanded the government’s power – as they have in other issues. This trend reached its logical extreme in the Supreme Court case of Kelo v. City of New London. This case involved local government officials seizing homes and businesses – not for “public use” as the Constitution specified, but to turn this private property over to other private parties, to build more upscale facilities that would bring in more tax revenues. Justice John Paul Stevens wrote the Supreme Court opinion that expanded the Constitution’s authorization of seizing private property for “public use” to seizing private property for a “public purpose.” And who would define what a “public purpose” is? Basically, those who were doing the seizing. As Justice Stevens put it, the government authorities’ assessment of a proper “public purpose” was entitled to “great respect” by the courts. Let’s go back to square one. Just who was this provision of the Constitution supposed to restrict? Answer: government officials. And to whom would Justice Stevens defer: government officials. Why would those who wrote the Constitution waste good ink putting that protection in there, if not to protect citizens from the very government officials to whom Justice Stevens deferred? John Paul Stevens is a classic example of what has been wrong with too many Repub-

Bomb blasts kill 9 at Myanmar festival YANGON, Myanmar – Three bomb blasts at a holiday festival killed nine people in Myanmar’s biggest city on Thursday, the deadliest attack in five years in the country ruled by an iron-fisted regime. No indication was given as to who was behind the blasts, which occurred at about 3 p.m. near 20 pavilions erected for celebrations at the sprawling Kandawgyi Lake. Myanmar is celebrating its annual four-day water festival when people drench each other with water to usher in the Myanmar New Year on Saturday. Television images from the site showed pools of blood and scattered sandals left behind by fleeing revelers.

Powerful bombings rock Afghan city of Kandahar KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) – Two powerful bombings rocked the southern Afghan city of Kandahar on Thursday, killing three foreigners and three Afghan soldiers, according to President Hamid Karzai’s half brother. Meanwhile, four German soldiers were killed in fighting in the north. NATO forces are gearing up for a major op-

eration this summer in Kandahar – the largest city in the Taliban-ridden south and the birthplace of the hardline Islamist movement. But the burst of violence in widely separated areas of the country underscores the reach of the Taliban beyond their southern homeland, even as the U.S. sends more forces to ramp up the war.

The more powerful of the two explosions in Kandahar occurred after sundown when a suicide bomber detonated his explosives-laden vehicle at the inner security barrier of a compound shared by several Western companies, according to Ahmad Wali Karzai, the president’s half brother and the main power broker in southern Afghanistan.

A military plane traveled from Russia with the body of Ryszard Kaczorowski, whose casket was draped in the white-and-red Polish flag, and laid out on the tarmac flanked by a saber-bearing honor guard. His widow and daughters, dressed in black, wept at his coffin and kissed it.

Kaczorowski, who headed the exile government from London shortly before communism’s demise in Poland, was among the 96 people killed in a plane crash last Saturday in western Russia en route to ceremonies to honor Polish victims of the World War II Katyn massacres of Polish officers by the forerunner of the Soviet secret police. He was 90. His body was driven in a black hearse to lie in state in Warsaw’s Belvedere palace until a funeral is held for him on Monday. The exiled leadership was established during the Nazi occupation of Poland and continued to declare itself the rightful government during the decades of communism, until Lech Walesa became Poland’s first popularly elected president in 1990. Later in the day, the remains of 34 more bodies returned home in flagdraped coffins for a separate ceremony defined by funeral marches.

MOSCOW (AP) – A Foreign Ministry spokesman said Thursday that adoptions of Russian children by U.S. families had been suspended, although other Russian and U.S. officials disputed this. Spokesman Andrei Nesterenko said during a briefing that new adoptions by Americans are on hold pending a visit in the next few days by a U.S. delegation to reach an accord on future placement of Russian children. The U.S. hopes to resolve a bitter dispute that broke out last week, when an American woman sent her 7-year-old adopted son back to Russia on a plane by himself. “Further adoptions of Russian children by American citizens which are currently suspended will be possible only if such a deal is reached,” Nesterenko said in a televised briefing. “Russia believes that only an agreement that contains effective tools for Russian and U.S. officials to monitor the living conditions of adopted Russian children will ensure that recent tragedies in the United States will not be repeated,” he said.

Breyer: Health overhaul could come before court

Obamas net $1.8M tax bill

WASHINGTON (AP) – Justice Stephen Breyer predicted Thursday that the Supreme Court will one day pass judgment on this year’s health care overhaul. Breyer told a congressional panel that the massive health care law, like most major federal legislation, is a good candidate for high court review. Breyer More than a dozen Republican attorneys general in several states are determined to challenge the law in federal court, arguing that its requirement that Americans get health insurance is unconstitutional. Breyer said the court’s relatively light caseload in recent years will soon be a thing of the past. “I’d predict that three, four years from today, no one’s going to ask us again why we have so few cases,� Breyer said at a hearing on the court’s budget before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government. Justice Clarence Thomas said at the same hearing that the court’s caseload depends in large part on what is happening in Congress.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Thanks to revived book sales after he became president, Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, made $5.5 million last year. They paid about one-third of it in federal income taxes. The Obamas gave $329,100 to charities in 2009. The president, who released his tax returns Thursday, also donated his entire $1.4 million Nobel Peace Prize award to 10 charitable groups. He never received the $1.4 million, and it was not included in his 2009 income. Obama, a former law school instructor and U.S. senator, became a millionaire a few years ago through sales of his 1995 memoir “Dreams From My Father� and his 2006 political book, “The Audacity of Hope.� He earned about $4 million in royalties in 2007, the year he launched his presidential campaign. Sales included his audio versions of the books, for which Obama won two Grammy awards in the spoken-word category. Sales dropped somewhat in 2008, the year he was elected president. Obama’s January inauguration as the nation’s first black president seemed to revive interest in his books. Royalties in 2009 more than doubled.

Man sentenced in ‘04 slaying BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A man was sentenced to a prison term after pleading guilty in connection with a southeast High Point homicide that occurred more than five years ago. Robert Demetrius Williams, 21, is serving a minimum of 51 months and a maximum of 71 months behind bars after his case was resolved in court earlier this month. Williams pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the death of Anthony Briggman Jr., who was shot during an apparent

drug-related robbery at 707 Hines St. on Oct. 22, 2004. Williams initially was charged with first-degree murder but, pursuant to an agreement with prosecutors, pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter – defined by law as an intentional killing without malice, generally in the heat of passion after provocation. Briggman, 22, of Central Islip, N.Y., was one of two people shot at the house. The other victim, Terrence Tyson, survived his wounds. As part of his plea agreement, prosecutors dismissed attempted murder and aggravated

assault charges against Williams. He was sentenced by Forsyth County Superior Court Judge Ronald E. Spivey, who gave him credit for 209 days spent in jail since his arrest. No arrests were made in the case until 2006, when Williams and five others from Bennettsville, S.C., were charged. Williams was the first of the six defendants to go to court. Another suspect in the case, Devontray Antwan Bunton, is scheduled to go on trial the week of April 26 on first-degree murder, attempted murder and aggravated assault charges. Williams’ case was delayed sev-

eral times at the request of his defense counsel, most recently last month, when a hearing was held to determine whether he was competent to stand trial. His attorney argued that Williams suffered from schizophrenia or some other psychosis and was incapable of understanding the charges he faced and assisting in his defense. Spivey ruled Williams was competent after a state forensic psychiatrist who evaluated him testified he was feigning the symptoms of a psychotic illness. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Shuler denies hearing racial slurs BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Rep. Heath Shuler is denying a report that he heard racial slurs yelled from a crowd of angry health care protesters outside the U.S. Capitol. On March 20, black Democratic congressmen John Lewis, Andre Carson and Emanuel Cleaver said they heard the N-word as they walked to the Capitol to vote on health care. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., who is gay, said he was called an anti-homosexual slur. On March 23, the Hendersonville (N.C.) NewsTimes published an interview with Shuler, D-N.C. The story said Shuler was walking with Cleaver and heard racial epithets. The Associated Press, after Shuler’s office did not return phone calls or e-mails, quoted the News-Times report Wednesday in a story on the controversy over whether racial slurs had been shouted. On Wednesday, Shuler told the AP that he heard slurs against Frank, but not Cleaver. The issue of whether the N-word was used has turned into a political battle, with many conservatives skeptical that it happened.

Hooks, executive director of the NAACP, are shown on the steps of the South Carolina State House during ceremonies observing the 25th anniversay of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Columbus, S.C.

Benjamin Hooks, who boosted NAACP, dies at 85 NASHVILLE (AP) – Civil rights leader Benjamin L. Hooks, who shrugged off courtroom slurs as a young lawyer before earning a pioneering judgeship and reviving a flagging NAACP, died Thursday in Memphis. He was 85. Across the country, political leaders and Hooks’ peers in the civil rights movement remembered his remarkably wide-ranging accomplishments and said he’d want the fight for social justice to continue. State Rep. Ulysses Jones, a member of the church where Hooks was pastor, said Hooks died at his home following a long illness. “Right up to the last, he conveyed ... the need for us to fight,” said NAACP President Benjamin Jealous, recalling a speech Hooks gave last year. Hooks “gave a

speech as fiery as any he’s given 50 years earlier.” Hooks took over as the NAACP’s executive director at a time when the organization’s stature had diminished in 1977. Years removed from the civil rights battles of the 1960s, the group was $1 million in debt and its membership had shrunk to 200,000 members from nearly a half-million a decade earlier. “Black Americans are not defeated,” he told Ebony magazine soon after his induction. “The civil rights movement is not dead. If anyone thinks that we are going to stop agitating, they had better think again. If anyone thinks that we are going to stop litigating, they had better close the courts. If anyone thinks that we are not going to demonstrate and protest, they had better roll up the sidewalks.”

Sierra Club endorses Cunningham for US Senate ing in a release that Cunningham has been inconsistent on offshore drilling and nuclear energy. Cunningham said in an interview with The Associated Press last week he’s opposed to drilling off the coast but might have to consider the idea if it’s part of a broader plan pushed by President Obama or lawmakers that includes alternate and nuclear energy. As he did during Wednesday night’s televised Democratic debate, Cunningham said Thursday during a conference call he’s been

I’m afraid his verbal abuse is destroying our children’s selfesteem, and I have asked him repeatedly to stop it. I even threatened to leave if he doesn’t clean up his act. When he swears, it sends shivers up my spine and I get angry. We used to have heated arguments, but I have learned to watch my mouth. I thought he would get the idea if I set an example, but he didn’t even notice. He was in the Navy, and for a long time he blamed his cursing on his time in the military. Well, he has been out for 12 years now and that excuse is a little tired. I have made plans to leave him and will stick with my decision unless he’s willing to make a serious effort to control his mouth. In the meantime, what do you suggest I do?

Ken Brame, chairman of the club’s national political committee, also said Cunningham has been consistent on the issue.

RALEIGH (AP) – The Sierra Club endorsed Cal Cunningham for the U.S. Senate on Thursday, saying it likes his environmental and alternate energy platform and is comfortable with his views on drilling for oil or gas off the North Carolina coast.

RALEIGH (AP) – All the work of the Tea Party movement will be for nothing if its members don’t convert their anger into action, a crowd of several hundred was told at the state Capitol on Thursday. Speaker after speaker implored the people assembled to organize themselves politically, call their representatives in Congress and most importantly, vote – preferably for Republican candidates. “If we don’t take action, the other side wins,� said Ron Woodard, director of NC Listen, a group that opposes illegal immigration. The movement that sprang up last year among citizens frustrated with what they see as out-ofcontrol government spending and infringement on personal freedoms is nonpartisan, said Laura Long of Triangle Conservatives Unite, the principle organizer of the rally. But Thursday’s gathering at times resembled a get-out-the-vote drive for Republican candidates, many of whom addressed the crowd, which booed lustily at mentions of state and national Democrats. Despite that, the Tea Party movement, which includes numerous groups working together in a mostly nonhierarchical fashion, remains independent of party politics, Long said. The event was one of about 20 planned throughout the state April 15, the deadline for filing income tax returns. A crowd estimate from the Capitol Police was not immediately available Thursday night. There were at least several hundred people gathered, many waving homemade signs and American flags and occasionally bursting into spontaneous chants of “USA!�

Open Door Ministries has much to celebrate T

he headlines are fading and the camera lights have dimmed. But for those whose homes have been destroyed or badly damaged by the Palm Sunday tornadoes that ravaged our area, it is the beginning. It is the beginning of the aftermath. Where will these afABOUT fected families live TOWN while their homes are Mary rebuilt? Bogest What ■■■living costs will insurance cover if any at all? It is hard to imagine everything that these families are now facing. The Thomasville-High Point (and Lexington) Chapter of the American Red Cross has contacted every family affected by the tornadoes and offered assistance. That is one of the reasons that when Carolyn Smith Kerr (newly married to Richard) called me about their plight, I agreed to be part of the Red Cross Disaster Relief Committee to help with the aftermath and funding. My heart continues to go out to these people. Mayor Becky Smothers told me after her tour of the area, “It is just a miracle that no one died.� Truly it is. It was also a wonderful testament to the compassion of our community as so many

people volunteered to help their neighbor. We are truly a community of good Samaritans. What an appropriate segue into the Gala Celebration Dinner, “Reflecting a Light of Change� benefiting Open Door Ministries. Even more befitting is that the “Good Samaritan of the Year Award� was presented at this dinner that also included a silent auction. If you need a quick refresher course, the programs of Open Door Ministries include the homeless shelter, Father’s Table that at last count provided meals to over 400 per day not including the food pantry, provides for emergency services (utility bills, etc.), Cassell House, transitional living facility for former homeless men who are working their way back into society, and Housing First, part of the 10 Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness. As you read that and went “wow,� please keep in mind that is only a partial list of how Open Door Ministries tries to affect those in our community that others may turn away. Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church graciously opened their doors for this celebratory dinner that was catered by The Triad Community Kitchen, a 10-week culinary curriculum at no charge to unemployed, underemployed and to formerly homeless individuals. The “Celebratory�

was the emphasis of this gala. It was a celebration for those who have come out of homelessness, those who have left their addictions behind, those who now have a new beginning in their lives. Reunise Garner is part of the Ministries’ Housing Stabilization Program which strives to keep people in their homes. As you can imagine in this time of economic need, this new budgeted program is overwrought with requests. Garner stepped in front of more than 200 attendees to tell her story. An immediate hush came over the room as the mother of five spoke so very eloquently. “We are survivors of domestic violence. It took me a long time to say those words because I was embarrassed. Now I want to become a voice for others, to others. I’ll never forget the day I met Steve Key (executive director of Open Door Ministries). He was like Charlie of ‘Charlie’s Angels.’ In the background he guided my ‘dream team’ to help me finish getting my degree. I am ready to start my new and safe life.� The crowd remained MARY BOGEST | HPE Benjamin McCain, 5, helped with the desserts at the Car- silenced as Barbara rabba’s Dinner to benefit Relay for Life of the American Ervin, who is in the Housing First Program Cancer Society.

stepped up. Although she didn’t relate her personal story but she did say that this was her personal day of thanksgiving while on any given night in the state of North Carolina there may be 20,000 to 30,000 without a home ‌ homeless. She is no longer one of those statistics. Again their was a silenced awe of this very articulate woman. After the applause, Martha Yarborough emotionally stepped to the podium. Her husband Yogi, who died a few years ago of Lou Gehrigs disease, was a former president of the Board of Directors of Open Door Ministries. Tears began to stream down her face as she presented the Good Samaritan of the Year Award to my friend Raymond Payne for his devotion to working with the homeless. Martha’s tears were tears celebrating a wonderful friendship. For the last year of Yogi’s life, it was Payne who tended to his friend every day as Yogi progressed from crutches to a wheelchair. I remember when I attended Yogi’s funeral at Providence Place, Raymond and his wife Patricia were part of the Yarborough family. That has not changed.

Martha told me that, from the first time that Yogi and Raymond met for breakfast to discuss the needs in our community, they became, “soul brothers.� Martha also said, “Since Yogi’s death I have remained very close to Raymond and Pat. Raymond is a big part of our family in good times and bad. He has been a wonderful support to me in many ways. I have told many people, ‘Raymond is the person who lives Christ for me.’ � Well said and congratulations my dear friend. This week’s column finale is a grand finale. Bill and Linda Davidson have been the dynamic duo in raising funds for Relay for Life to benefit the American Cancer Society. They have been ever grateful as this year Bill celebrates 33 as a cancer survivor. After seven years, this was the grand finale (over $8,000 raised) for their always sold-out (almost 500) Carrabbas Dinner held at First United Methodist Church. Carrabbas Italian Grill makes the delicious dinner. The Davidson’s church family and friends make the

incredible array of desserts. Last year they even added a silent auction. As I enjoyed the dinner and spotted many friends such as Carolyn and Don Kearns, Judy and Jerry Smith, Joe and Diane Lorber and 5-year-old Benjamin McCain, who came with his mother Molly Beth. Benjamin told me that he had gotten one of the ice cream cones that I “scooped� the week before at Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day. I guess I passed my “scooper� scoop test. I felt a sense of sadness permeate the room as word spread that this was the grand finale. Linda told me, “This was indeed our grand finale and it was the ‘grandest’ dinner of them all. We wanted to do it in honor of all of the cancer survivors and in memory of those who lost the battle. Since Jodi (Davidson’s daughter) is now a survivor (melanoma), we did it this year mainly for her. We loved doing those dinners.� Kudos to you, my friends.

Supergerm difficult but not impossible to treat

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I have a dear friend of 20 years who recently had surgery to repair a twisted colon. She socializes with our group. In asking her how she was recovering, she informed us that she was taking antibiotics for MRSA. Not knowing about MRSA, I went to my computer for information. Needless to say, it frightened me. I no longer want to be in her company, as I have a family to consider. I don’t think her doctor has made her aware of this very contagious infection. Will you please write about it? I do not want to hurt this dear friend. – Anon.

MRSA, pronounced “mur-suh,” stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, the common staph bacterium, found all over the place. Its story goes like this. When penicillin was first discovered, it was an effective drug against the staph germ. In time, the germ learned how to dodge penicillin. Resourceful scientists devised a new penicillin, methicillin, which is effective against the resistant staph. All went well for a time, but the staph germ devised new ways to evade methicillin. It became methicillin-resistant. MRSA used to be confined to hospitals. Now it’s found in the community. It’s hard to avoid. You’ve probably encountered it many times, but never came down with an infection. It needs a

cut, scrape or some other breach in the skin to establish an infection. Your HEALTH friend’s surgical Dr. Paul incision is Donohue where her ■■■ infection is. You are not exposed to the infection site. Her doctor would not have let her appear in public if she were a threat of spreading MRSA. You don’t have to avoid her. Treatment of MRSA infection is a challenge. A few older antibiotics kill it, and new ones are available if they’re needed. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am an 86-year-old widow. My doctor wants me to have a colonoscopy. I have severe arthritis in my spine and am hesitant to have this done. The gastroenterologist said that in older people, the procedure sometimes nicks the bowel and causes bigger problems. What do you think? – D.R. The recommendation is that everyone at age 50 have a colonoscopy. If nothing is found, a repeat isn’t necessary for 10 years. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a panel of experts, says it’s OK to stop colonoscopies at age 75 if the person has no symptoms suggestive of colon cancer and if that person’s

previous colonoscopies have been normal. What the gastroenterologist told you is true. The procedure is a greater risk for older people. You have never had a colonoscopy. That puts you in a different light. However, if you are reluctant and if your arthritis is so bad that the procedure would be quite difficult, then accommodations have to be made. The doctor can perform other tests for colon cancer detection – checking your stool for blood or performing a less-demanding test, like a sigmoidoscopy. Talk to the gastroenterologist about substitute tests. Dear Dr. Donohue: I read your article on hyperemesis gravidarum, which I had. I’d like to give you a Web site that was very helpful to me. I was able to speak with other moms who were dealing with it. It is www.hyperemesis.org. – J.Z. Many pregnant women have morning sickness. A few women develop hyperemesis gravidarum, severe vomiting with weight loss and dehydration. It’s a threat to the health of the woman and the fetus. Intravenous feedings supply hydration and nutrition. I wasn’t aware of the Hyperemesis Education and Research Foundation. You’re right. The Web site offers useful information. Readers will appreciate that you alerted us to it.

Most West Virginia coal operators will stand down today

The dress that U.S film actress Grace Kelly wore in the film ‘High Society’ (left) is photographed on display, as one of a number of dresses from the wardrobe of Grace Kelly, which goes on display at the V&A Museum this spring, London.

London museum showcases Grace Kelly’s gowns LONDON (AP) – Dresses that Grace Kelly wore in screen classics such as “High Society” and “Rear Window” are going on show at a London museum. “Grace Kelly: Style Icon” at the Victoria and Albert Museum will display the glamorous wardrobe of the Oscar winning

actress-turned-princess. Exhibits include the gown Kelly wore to accept her Oscar in 1955, as well as the outfit she wore to her first meeting with her husband Prince Rainier III of Monaco later that year. The museum says the exhibition, which opens Saturday, explores the

blond screen siren’s enduring appeal. The show will trace the evolution of her style as Princess Grace of Monaco, with haute couture gowns by her favorite couturiers Dior, Balenciaga, Givenchy and Yves St Laurent. Kelly died in 1982 at age 52.

NEW YORK (AP) – Rocker Melissa Etheridge and her partner, actress Tammy Lynn Michaels Etheridge, have announced their separation. In a statement Thursday, they asked for “consideration and respect for our family as we go through this difficult period.” The two held a commitment ceremony in Malibu, Calif., in 2003. Tammy Etheridge, 35, gave birth to twins – a son, Miller,

and a daughter, Johnnie Rose – in 2006. The couple used an anonymous donor from a sperm bank.

US pressures Israel, Palestinians to resume talks WASHINGTON (AP) – Frustrated by more than a year of intense but failed diplomatic efforts to get Israel and the Palestinians to restart stalled peace negotiations, the Obama administration is turning up pressure on both sides to get them talking again. In a speech Thursday marking the opening a new Middle East think tank, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called on both parties to prove they are committed to reaching a resolution to the conflict. She also urged Israeli and Palestinian leaders to take risks for peace. Her comments came just two

Local surgeon uses enhanced robotic technology BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – Dr. Craig Hall seated himself at a console Thursday, several feet away from his patient, and began the surgery. A veteran surgeon, Hall has performed this particular procedure – a radical prostatectomy, utilizing a robot-assisted laparoscope – hundreds of times, but Thursday’s surgery at High Point Regional Health System was decidedly unique. For one thing, Hall performed the surgery with several media representatives looking on – wearing surgical masks and scrubs – as part of a media event organized to show off its new robotic surgical system, the da Vinci Si. Also in the operating room, though, was High Point Regional’s interactive media specialist, Kelley O’Brien, who updated the surgery every few minutes via the health system’s Twitter account. Anyone following the procedure saw posts such as “Continuing to separate the nerve tissue” and “Now the prostate is completely removed.” O’Brien even posted photos from the operating room. The number of followers of High Point Regional’s Twitter account grew from 129 to 143 during the procedure – a significant single-day boost for a health system, O’Brien said. In the future, health system officials hope to “tweet” more surgeries and even post them on YouTube as a means of educating the public, O’Brien said. The new technology unveiled Thursday came to High Point Regional courtesy of local benefactor David Hayworth, who donated $1 million toward its purchase. “I am very impressed with the robotics program that Dr. Hall is leading here and feel truly gratified in knowing that many of our patients with cancer and other health issues will

The sixth annual Jenni’s Walk of Hope will be held May 8 at Bermuda Run Country Club in Clemmons to raise funds for melanoma cancer education and research at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center’s Comprehensive Cancer Center. The event will include threeand one-mile walks, as well as a captain’s choice golf tournament at Bermuda Run’s Gold/Silver Course. The walk will begin at 9 a.m., with sign-in at 7:30 a.m. The golf tournament will begin with a shotgun start at 2 p.m. Participants in the walk or tournament must register by April 23. Information is available at www.jenniswalkofhope. org. The walk is named in honor of Jenni Hewitt, who died after battling melanoma for five years.

There’s a remarkable difference in visibility.” The new model’s instrumentation is also easier to maneuver and more ergonomically

comfortable, Hall added. It’s also designed to be fully upgradable as advances occur. Hall’s patient Thursday, Phil Vincent of Boone, agreed to let media observe the surgery because he wants to educate men about the importance of being screened for prostate cancer, the reason he required the surgery. “Mine was caught early, so the prognosis is good,” Vincent said earlier this week. “But there are so many men out there who simply will not be tested for this, and it’s insane. This is a cancer that has a very high cure rate if it’s caught reasonably early. You have lots of choices for treatment, but you have to be tested – you don’t want to wait till it’s too late.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

“My husband and I have been wed for 30 years,” a club player told me, “and we’ve played bridge for 25. Having him as a partner has convinced me that marriage is an arrangement for two people, one of whom is always right and the other is the wife.” My friend said she was today’s East, and her husband cashed three clubs against four hearts, dropping South’s jack. “I discarded a spade and a diamond, and my husband next led the ten of clubs. I discarded another spade, and declarer ruffed, picked up my husband’s king of trumps with finesses and claimed his game.

DAILY QUESTION

TRUMP TRICK

You hold: S 8 3 H K 9 3 D 10 8 6 C A K Q 10 3. You open one club, and your partner bids one spade. The opponents pass. What do you say?

“My husband was irate. He said if I ruff the fourth club with the eight of trumps, South must overruff and lose a trump trick to the K-9-3. Was he right, as usual?” West wasn’t quite right. He should have forced East to ruff by leading the three of clubs at Trick Four. East might have ruffed anyway, but when West led a high club, East was entitled to believe that West didn’t want her to spend a trump.

ANSWER: Some players would consider this a close choice between a bid of 1NT and a rebid of two clubs. I think the correct bid is clear: Bid 1NT to show minimum values and balanced pattern. A rebid of two clubs would show a six-card or longer suit, and though the actual suit is strong, I’d be unwilling to treat it as a six-carder. North dealer N-S vulnerable

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

Climbs await Connolly at UNCA BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WALLBURG – Brian Connolly has endured a bit of an uphill climb this spring for the Ledford Panthers. After signing a National Letter of Intent on Thursday to play baseball for UNC Asheville, it’s clear that Connolly’s climbs – both literally on the hilly campus and figuratively for a rising program – have just begun. “They’re wanting to win,” Connolly said. “I know it’s going to take a lot of work, but I can’t wait. To play college baseball has been my lifelong dream.” The 6-foot-5, 225-pound right-hander looks imposing on the mound, and indeed he owns an impressive ratio of seven walks to 36 strikeouts to go with an earned run average of 2.02. Yet his record is just 3-4 as the defense has at times struggled behind him and the batting numbers – including Connolly’s

own stats – have dropped a bit this year. None of that bothers him on the mound, though. “He has had some tough losses where he’s only given up one or two earned runs,” Panthers coach Kemp Smith said. “We’ve talked about, when you’re a pitcher, when you let go of the ball, it’s out of your control. He doesn’t let it affect him, and that shows you what kind of mature, developed player he really is.” The development into a power pitcher came late. Connolly threw some innings for the varsity as a sophomore and junior, but considered himself more of a hitter. Last summer, Connolly pitched well for Alan Ashkinazy’s Greensboro Batting Center PrepStars team. He then attended a prospects camp at Asheville, where coaches recommended a few changes to his delivery. “I worked really hard in August and September and it kind of clicked,” Connolly

said. “I went from 84-85 (mph) to 88-89, my control improved, I had more command. This summer I really learned how to pitch and figured that’s where my thing’s at.” Not long after, Connolly realized Asheville was the place to be. New coach Tom Smith, one of the top high school coaches in the nation for nearby T.C. Roberson, impressed Connolly. He chose the Bulldogs over UNC Greensboro. “Changing staff, program on the rise – I really fell in love with it,” said Connolly, the son of Kevin and Robin Connolly. “And academics are a big deal in our family. Asheville really has a prestigious academic record and that was also a big factor in picking it.” Connolly said he’ll likely major in biology in the hopes of becoming a doctor: “Get an education first and the baseball is second,” he said. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Ragsdale football sends four more to college BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

JAMESTOWN – Four more members of the Ragsdale football team signed their names to college programs Thursday, making it an elite eight for coach Tommy Norwood slated to play at the next level. Or nine, the Tigers’ 12th-year coach offered, if you count DeSean Anderson, who turned down football offers to pursue diamond dreams. “We’ve never had that many,” said Norwood, who saw four players ink deals during Febru-

ary’s signing day. Billy Stone and Luke Sonricker will remain teammates at Campbell, joining a program about to start its third season in the non-scholarship Pioneer Football League. Stone enjoyed an impressive career for the Tigers, starting at middle linebacker three years and earning all-conference honors all three years. He’s one of just five players ever to accomplish that feat for Norwood. Despite the accolades, most college coaches

failed to look past Stone’s 5-foot-8 frame. “You can’t measure the way he played in size,” Norwood said. Sonricker started two seasons at wide receiver and was enjoying a solid senior year with 22 catches – five of them touchdowns – for 469 yards before suffering an injury. “With Luke’s situation, if he hadn’t got hurt, who knows what would have happened with him,” Norwood offered. “He’s one of those kids who could put on 30 pounds and people are going to

wonder how he ended up at Campbell. “I think they’re both looking forward to it,” Norwood added. Two Tiger offensive linemen also will see each other at the next level, but as opponents in the NCAA Division III Old Dominion Athletic Conference. Elliot Cobb, who spent four years in the Ragsdale program and started the last two, will play at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Va. Tyler Ritter, a starter during his two years with the team, is headed

to Hampton-Sydney in Virginia. Both were all-conference performers last fall. Cobb played center and Ritter at guard before Cobb suffered a broken hand and the duo flipped positions. “It says a lot about those kinds of kids academically getting a chance,” Norwood praised of the quartet. “You can’t go to Washington and Lee, Hampton-Sydney and Campbell if you don’t have good grades. That’s the key to all of that right there.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

HIT AND RUN

I

n most elections, candidates can count on their family for support at the ballot box. The NBA wisely moved to remove that option for the Curry family. Golden State’s Stephen Curry is a leading contender for rookie of the year honors. The former Davidson star averaged 17.2 points and 5.9 assists per game for the Warriors.

Curry and Sacramento’s Tyreke Evans (20.3 ppg, 5.8 apg) are locked in a heated race for the award. This one could come down to a single vote. Charlotte Bobcats’ broadcaster Dell Curry is one of the voters for the league’s awards. The NBA did not want to put the former star guard in the uncomfortable position of having to vote for or against his son.

Curry will be allowed to vote for all of the other postseason awards. A replacement will be named for Curry in the rookie of the year voting pool. Good call, NBA. The league deserves a pat on the back for its thoughtful foresight.

CHARLESTON, S.C. – The High Point University men’s track and field team went first, second and fourth in the 10,000-meter and got a runner-up finish from freshman Josh Pelletier in the javelin on the first day of the Big South Championship on Thursday. Senior Jesse Cherry set the championship meet record while winning the 10,000-meter and was followed by senior Cole Atkins in second and sophomore Neal Darmody in fourth. “I was extremely pleased with getting a national-caliber throw in the javelin and dominating the 10K,” said HPU coach Mike Esposito. “Jesse got the conference record in the 10K while racing in a team-oriented way. It was the same with Cole and Neal. I was very pleased with Mike Ali’s race, too.” In the 10,000-meter, the top group ran together for several miles before Cherry began to pull away. He pushed the pace over the last two miles for a convincing win. His time of 30:13.20 bested the meet record of 30:26.89 by Terah Kipchiris of Coastal Carolina in 2004. Behind Cherry, Atkins dueled with Liberty’s Josh Edmonds over the last several laps before outkicking Edmonds for the runner-up finish in 30:20.70. Edmonds finished in 30:25.29. Darmody overtook runners from Winthrop and Liberty for his fourth-place finish in 31:14.60. Ali, a sophomore, placed ninth in 33:08.34. Pelletier uncorked his career-best throw of 2165 on his third attempt in the javelin to reset his HPU record. His previous best was 196-2 at the Wake Forest Open. Coastal Carolina’s Jason Flanagan won the event with a throw of 219-11 on his fourth attempt. Junior Emily Webb finished third in the 10,000-meter to pace the High Point in wonmen’s portion of the meet.It was Webb’s first 10,000meter race on the track.

Sportsman champ eyes switch to Modifieds CARAWAY WRAPUP

“The car is ready to go; we just need tire money,� Clifton said. Even if Clifton moves up, stadium officials are expecting in the neighborhood of 30 Sportsman cars – a big jump in a division that rarely attracts enough entries to fill up a maximum field of 24. If more cars show than starting positions, officials announced there will be qualifying. For the opener, those time trials will be next Friday along with Modified qualifying. Officials said for the Sportsman race, the field will include the fastest 14 cars from qualifying and 10 drivers from the top 20 in 2009 standings who did not get spots on their qualifying speed. If the provisional starters do not fill out the field, the remainder of the cars will be selected on qualifying speed. After the 24 cars are determined, drivers will draw for position. Track promoter Gray Garrison attributed the jump in car count to allowance of low-cost “crate� engines and tires that can be used for more than one race.

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

SHORT TRACK NOTEBOOK: Ronnie Clifton looks to conquer new worlds at Bowman Gray Stadium. Having won eight Sportsman championships in a row and competed in either the Sportsman or Street Stock divisions for 20 years, the Walkertown driver wants to make the move to the Modified division when the quartermile track opens a week from Saturday. “I’ve done all I could do – and if I stay in the Sportsman division, there’s nowhere to really go but down,� Clifton said. His goal is to score a victory so his name can go down in the list of the featured division’s race winners. “I love running Sportsman, but I’ve been over here 20 years running Street Stock and Sportsman,� Clifton said. “If I left this place now, my name won’t be in the (record) book. If I win one Modified race, my name’s in there forever.� The only thing Clifton needs is a little sponsorship money.

After a week off, Caraway Speedway’s featured Late Model Stock division will return for a pair of 75lap events Saturday night – the last appearance for the class until May 15. Caraway will be idle next week to avoid conflict with the Bowman Gray opener. The track will then feature the Sportsman division the next two weeks while operating on Fridays only the next two weeks. Winners last Saturday included Mack Little (Sportsman), Buddy Allred in two Late Model Truck features, A.J. Sanders (Mini-Stock), Bobby Grimes (Street Stock) and Chad Finchum (Legends Car).

AROUND THE REGION Justin Labonte won his heat and took sixth in the Carolina Clash on Saturday at Fayetteville. ... The UARA-STARS resumes Saturday at Tri-County Speedway near Hudson.

Up to 10 percent face AEP layoffs COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — American Electric Power Co. Inc., one of the nation’s largest power generators, will trim its work force by as much as 10 percent and take other cost-saving steps to cope with sluggish demand. The utility is hoping between 1,000 and 2,000 of its nearly 22,000 employees will accept buyout offers, spokeswoman Melissa McHenry said Thursday. It also will look at cutting operations and maintenance costs.

UBS customers hid Swiss-based assets

Health care resistance strong WASHINGTON (AP) — Opposition to President Barack Obama’s health care law jumped after he signed it — a warning to Democrats running for re-election this fall that his victory could become their liability. A new Associated PressGfK poll finds Americans oppose the health care remake 50 percent to 39 percent. Before a divided Congress finally passed the bill and Obama signed it at a jubilant White House ceremony last month, public opinion was about evenly split. Another 10 percent of Americans say they are neutral. Disapproval for Obama’s handling of health care

also increased from 46 percent before the bill passed to 52 percent currently — a level not seen since last summer’s angry town hall meetings. Nonetheless, the bleak numbers may not represent a final judgment for the president and his Democratic allies in Congress. That’s because only 28 percent of those polled said they understand the overhaul extremely or very well, and a big chunk of those remain neutral. Democrats hope to change public opinion by calling attention to benefits available this year for seniors, families with children transitioning to work and people shut out

of coverage because of medical problems. “There are some things I like, because I think that there are some people who need health care,” said Jim Fall, 73, a retired computer consultant from Wrightwood, Calif. But “I don’t like the idea of the government dictating what health care should be like,” added Fall. “Nor do I like them taking money out of Medicare. They are going to create more waste and they are going to take away benefits.” Seniors — reliable voters in midterm congressional races — were far more likely to oppose the

law. Forty-nine percent were strongly opposed, compared with 37 percent of those 64 and younger. Seniors’ worries that Medicare cuts to insurers, hospitals and other providers will undermine their care are a formidable challenge for Democratic congressional candidates this fall. Analysts said such wariness on a major piece of social legislation is unusual. “The surprise of this poll is that you would expect people to be more supportive of the bill now that it’s the law of the land — and that’s not the case,” said Robert Blendon, a Harvard public health

NEW YORK (AP) — Seven customers of banking giant UBS have been charged with conspiracy and criminal tax offenses in a scheme to conceal millions of dollars in Swiss-based assets and the income earned on those assets from the Internal Revenue Service, prosecutors announced Thursday. The charges were contained in five indictments in U.S. District Court in Manhattan. Two of the defendants pleaded guilty Thursday to filing false federal income tax returns and agreed to pay millions of dollars in penalties.

A coalition of more than 100 shareholders backed a resolution at the company’s annual general meeting calling for a review of its plans to extract oil from the vast tar sands in northeastern Alberta.

Ag futures mixed, livestock prices rise CHICAGO (AP) — Agriculture futures traded mixed early Thursday on the Chicago Board of Trade. Wheat for July delivery added 1.5 cents to $4.8875 a bushel; July corn gained 0.75 cent to $3.6925 a bushel; July soybeans dropped 2 cents to $9.75 a bushel; and July oats were flat at $2.2025 a bushel. Meanwhile, livestock futures climbed on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

professor who follows opinion trends on health care. “The election for the House is going to be competitive, and health care is clearly going to be an issue.” The nearly $1 trillion, 10year health care remake would provide coverage to nearly all Americans while also attempting to improve quality and slow the ruinous pace of rising medical costs. Nonpartisan congressional budget analysts say the law is fully paid for. Its mix of Medicare cuts and tax increases, falling mainly on upperincome earners, would actually reduce the federal deficit.

Foreclosure rates surge LOS ANGELES (AP) — A record number of U.S. homes were lost to foreclosure in the first three months of this year, a sign banks are starting to wade through the backlog of troubled home loans at a faster pace, according to a new report. RealtyTrac Inc. said Thursday that the number of U.S. homes taken over by banks jumped 35 percent in the first quarter from a year ago. In ad-

dition, households facing foreclosure grew 16 percent in the same period and 7 percent from the last three months of 2009. More homes were taken over by banks and scheduled for a foreclosure sale than in any quarter going back to at least January 2005, when RealtyTrac began reporting the data, the firm said. “We’re right now on pace to see more than 1 million bank reposses-

sions this year,” said Rick Sharga, a RealtyTrac senior vice president. Foreclosures began to ease last year as banks came under pressure from the Obama administration to modify home loans for troubled borrowers. In addition, some states enacted foreclosure moratoriums in hopes of giving homeowners behind in payments time to catch up. And in many cases, banks have had

trouble coping with how to handle the glut of problem loans. These factors have helped slow the pace of foreclosures, but now that trend appears to be reversing. “We’re finally seeing the banks start to process the inventory that has been in foreclosure, but delayed in processing,” Sharga said. “We expect the pace to accelerate as the year goes on.”

Manufacturing output increases in March WASHINGTON (AP) — Output at America’s factories, mines and utilities edged up just 0.1 percent in March. But the overall figure was held back by a temporary decline in utility output related to warmer weather. By contrast, increases in factory production and mining offered the latest signs that the economy is recovering.

Manufacturing rose 0.9 percent and mining 2.3 percent, the Federal Reserve reported Thursday. The jump in factory production was an improvement from the 0.2 percent increase in February, when snowstorms hit the East Coast and restrained production. Those gains were nearly offset in March by a 6.4 percent drop in utility output.

Winter storms in February had boosted output at utilities while dampening it at factories. But March’s above-average temperatures reduced demand for heat. The modest overall gain is lower than February’s 0.3 percent increase, revised up from the 0.1 percent reported earlier. All the figures from the prior four months

were revised upward, making March’s increase the smallest since October. The gains show a slow but steady upswing in the activity at factories, utilities and mines. It was the ninth straight monthly increase. The index’s consistent gains, however muted, suggest the economic recovery is durable.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of newly laid off people signing up for unemployment benefits rose sharply for the second straight week, suggesting that jobs are still hard to come by even as the economic recovery gains traction. The Labor Department reported Thursday that first-time requests for jobless benefits rose by 24,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 484,000, the highest level since late February. Economists had predicted claims would fall. It marked the second week that claims took an unexpected leap. In the prior week, claims rose by 18,000 to 460,000. A government analyst, however, cautioned against reading too much into both weeks’ figures, saying they were clouded by seasonal adjustment difficulties related to the Easter holiday, which falls on different weeks each year.

Homebuilder sentiment jumps LOS ANGELES (AP) — The National Association of Home Builders says its housing market index climbed in April, buoyed by improved sales as homebuyers raced to qualify for tax incentives due to expire this month. The Washingtonbased trade association said Thursday its index rose four points to 19, the highest reading since September.

FedEx hub may employ more than 1,000 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TRIAD — FedEx Ground officials expect a distribution hub opening next year in North Carolina to expand to more than 1,200 employees and part-time workers in the next decade. The News & Record

of Greensboro reported Thursday the company expects the Kernersville sorting hub to expand steadily from the 750 workers who will open it in September 2011. Company officials say the building is almost finished and sorting equipment will

be installed beginning in June. FedEx began operating an air cargo hub at Piedmont Triad International Airport last summer. The separate FedEx Ground distribution center expands and consolidates two Winston-Salem facilities.

Toyota conducts tests on all SUVs TOKYO (AP) — Toyota is testing all its sport utility vehicles to reassure buyers of their safety after Consumer Reports warned a large Lexus SUV is susceptible to rolling over. The expanded testing covers the entire lineup of Toyota and Lexus SUVs, including popular models such as the RAV4, the 4Runner and the Highlander, said Toyota spokesman Brian Lyons. The automaker will be testing the vehicles’ stability control. Toyota aims to replicate the Consumer Reports’ test that first uncovered the problem, he said. Toyota is also suspend-

China’s growth surges, but inflation stays low SHANGHAI (AP) — China’s economic growth surged to 11.9 percent in the first quarter, possibly giving Beijing room to allow its currency to rise, but analysts warned it faces growing pressure to cut back stimulus and keep the world’s third-largest economy from overheating. The strong performance reported Thursday might allow a loosening of politically volatile currency controls by offsetting possible losses in export industries. Analysts expect Beijing to let the yuan rise sometime this year, though President Hu Jintao and others have rejected U.S. and other foreign pressure for a change.

Negative reports bring down oil prices NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices fell Thursday as signs of stronger demand were tempered by a bigger-than-expected build in natural gas supplies and a surprise jump in initial claims for unemployment benefits. Benchmark crude for May delivery fell 34 cents to $85.50 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Greek woes boost dollar over euro NEW YORK (AP) — The dollar rose against the euro Thursday for the first time this week as Greece’s request for more discussion of its financial rescue plan reawakened jitters about European debt loads. But China’s accelerating economic growth helped weigh the dollar down versus most Asian currencies and currencies of countries that are big commodity exporters.

ing production of the Lexus SUV — the GX 460 — which is built in Tahara, Japan, for 12 days starting Friday. Toyota has yet to decide whether it will recall the vehicle, a hefty seven-seat SUV sold mainly in North America but also in the Middle East, Russia and some other nations. The move reflects a new urgency at Toyota Motor Corp. to deal with safety problems. The automaker in recent months has been plagued by recalls and accusations that it responded too slowly to safety lapses. “I do think Toyota is responding very quickly,” said Rebecca Lindland,

automotive analyst at consulting firm IHS-Global Insight. “I think the difference is that this situation has been made very public.” Earlier this week, Consumer Reports said the rear of the GX 460 slides out too far during sharp turns designed to test the vehicle’s handling. That puts the back end at risk of hitting a curb and rolling over. Toyota says it does not know what’s causing the problem, but was working to address it so the influential magazine, which many shoppers rely on to choose new cars, would retest the vehicle and give it a satisfactory rating.

S.C. Senate OKs cigarette tax hike COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina senators have approved raising the nation’s lowest cigarette tax by 50 cents a pack. South Carolina’s current cigarette tax of 7 cents a pack hasn’t increased since 1977, when a pack cost 49 cents. By a 32-12 vote, the Senate on Wednesday gave final approval to raising the tax to generate about $130 million for Medicaid programs. They’ll set aside $5 million each for cancer research at the Medical University of South Carolina and programs to reduce smoking. The Senate legislation would put the Medicaid share of the money into a trust fund and will be used in the 2012 budget year to head off deep spending

cuts in health care programs for the state’s elderly, disabled and poor after temporary federal help for those programs disappears. When the cigarette tax cash is matched by federal money, it will generate about $500 million, said Senate Finance Committee Chairman Hugh Leatherman, RFlorence. That “will plug holes — not to start new programs; not to expand programs — simply try to provide what we’re doing now,” Leatherman said. State Sen. Kevin Bryant, a Republican pharmacist from Anderson, argued the money should be used on a tax decrease elsewhere and not on moneylosing government health care programs.

Eurozone ministers hope to stem debt crisis MADRID (AP) — Eurozone finance ministers will seek ways Friday to halt a government debt crisis as Greece asks the European Union and the International Monetary Fund to step up work on a potential multibillion bailout. The Greek government said Thursday that it would hold “systematic negotiations” on the standby loan package with other members of Europe’s currency union at the two-day meeting in Madrid starting Friday. It was unclear Thursday how many ministers would make the trip after volcanic ash held up flights in northern Europe. At least one official, the EU’s economy com-

missioner Olli Rehn, was taking the overnight train trip from Brussels to Madrid. The Greek government said its request for more details on bailout loans was not a signal that the country would seek aid. Officials from the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the IMF will visit Athens on Monday to fix details of a standby loan offer that aims to reassure markets that Greece won’t default on its mounting debt. Investors are demanding high interest rates for Greek bonds because they believe Greece could be unable to repay debt despite recent efforts to cut a massive budget gap.

Stocks edge higher on mixed reports NEW YORK (AP) – An encouraging earnings forecast from UPS and stronger manufacturing figures gave the stock market its sixth straight advance. The gains Thursday were modest following a surprise increase in the number of newly laid off people seeking unemployment benefits. Analysts said a slowdown in the market’s upward push was overdue. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 21 points after racing up nearly 104 on Wednesday. The Dow closed above 11,000 Monday for the first time in a year and a half. Other major stock indexes also stand at their highest levels since 2008. The technology-dominated Nasdaq composite index posted the biggest rise of major indexes ahead of earnings from Google Inc. The Internet search company reported after the closing bell that its firstquarter profit rose 37 percent but the stock fell 4 percent in electronic trading on concerns the company wasn’t holding down costs. The Dow rose 21.46, or 0.2 percent, to 11,144.57, its highest close since Sept. 19, 2008. The Dow has risen three out of every four days in the past two months but it hasn’t gone up six straight days since mid-March. The S&P 500 rose 1.02, or 0.1 percent, to 1,211.67, while the Nasdaq rose 10.83, or 0.4 percent, to 2,515.69.

Icahn increases offer for Lions Gate LOS ANGELES (AP) – Billionaire investor Carl Icahn has raised his bid for all of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. from $6 to $7 a share, the company said Thursday. The boutique movie and TV studio had complained that Icahn’s previous offer was too low. It said it would promptly make a recommendation

for shareholders. Lions Gate spokesman Peter Wilkes declined to characterize the new offer. But the company has previously contrasted Icahn’s offer to analysts’ average price target of $8.67. Lions Gate shares jumped in after-hours trading after the company announced Icahn’s new bid by 56 cents, or 8.8 per-

cent, to $6.93. Icahn has been trying for a year to take control of the company, which is based in Vancouver, Canada, but operates out of Santa Monica, Calif. In February, Icahn tried to boost his stake in Lions Gate from about 19 percent to 30 percent by offering shareholders $6 a share.

Kennedy kin eligible for parole in 3 years

NEW CARLISLE, Ohio – Ohio authorities say a man who told them he was facing foreclosure rammed his house with his SUV. Clark County Sheriff Gene Kelly says 30-year-old Steve Doak told deputies he was recently served with foreclosure papers and wanted to destroy the house rather than turn it over to the bank. The sheriff’s office says Doak drove the vehicle into fencing and then into the rear of the house in New Carlisle, about 50 miles west of Columbus. They say he did extensive structural damage.

BRIEFS

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Officials say Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel, who lost an appeal Monday of his conviction for a 1975 killing, could be released from prison in three years because of more lenient laws in place at the time of the crime. Skakel, a nephew of Ethel Kennedy, is serving 20 years to life for fatally beating Martha Moxley with a golf club in wealthy Greenwich when they were 15year-old neighbors. The Connecticut Supreme Court on Monday rejected his latest appeal. Skakel is eligible for parole consideration on April 3, 2013, based on credits for good behavior and other activities.

Crowd turns out for tea party protest in Washington on Thursday.

Tea party rallies greet tax day WASHINGTON (AP) – Tea party protesters marked tax day Thursday with exhortations against “gangster government” and appeals from Republicans seeking their grass-roots clout in November elections, a prospect both tempting and troubling to those in the loose movement. Several thousand rallied in Washington’s Freedom Plaza in the shadow of the Ronald Reagan office building, capping a national protest tour launched in the dust of Nevada and finishing in the capital that inspires tea party discontent like no other place. Allied activists demonstrated from Maine to Hawaii in hundreds of lively protests, all joined in disdain for government spending

A woman has tea bags hanging from her hat as she attends a tea party rally at the New Jersey Statehouse in Trenton, N.J., on Thursday. and – on the April 15 federal tax filing deadline – what they see as the Washington tax grab. The Washington rally in brilliant sunshine was spirited but modest in size, lacking the star power of tea party

favorite Sarah Palin, who roused the masses at earlier stops of the Tea Party Express in its cross-country bus tour. Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota won roars of affirmation as she ac-

cused President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats of trying to take over health care, energy, financial services and other broad swaths of the economy. “We’re on to this gangster government,” she declared. “I say it’s time for these little piggies to go home.” She appealed directly for tea partiers to swing behind “constitutional conservatives” in congressional campaigns, just as they contributed to Scott Brown’s upset in the Massachusetts Senate race in an early test of their potency. “I am the No. 1 target for one more extremist group to defeat this November,” she said. “We need to have your help for candidates like me. We need you to take out some of these bad guys.”

MILWAUKEE (AP) – A large meteor streaked across the Midwestern sky momentarily turning night into day, rattling houses and causing trees and the ground to shake, authorities said Thursday. There were no immediate reports of injuries. Witnesses say the meteor lit up the sky Wednesday about 10:10 p.m. National Weather Service offices across the Midwest said it was visible from southwestern Wisconsin and northern Iowa to central Missouri. Radar information suggests the meteor landed in the southwest corner of Wisconsin, either Grant or Lafayette counties, said Ashley Sears, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Milwaukee office. Officials in both counties said no one reported seeing a meteorite or crater. Lafayette County Sheriff Scott Pedley said his office received multiple reports of a very bright light in the sky followed by houses and the ground shaking. “There were reports of four to five minutes of explosions or rumbling,” he said. He couldn’t say what the sound was but speculated it may have been a sonic boom if the meteor broke the sound barrier. A dashboard camera in the squad car of a Howard County sheriff’s deputy in Iowa caught a glimpse of the fireball. In the video, the object streaks toward the ground, then swells and brightens in an apparent explosion before disappearing behind trees.
