Market opens with optimism Hagan says ‘excitement’ shows economy is recovering BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The High Point Market officially opened Saturday with high hopes from attendees and an appearance from one of its greatest political supporters. North Carolina Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan attended a ribbon-cutting event at 10 a.m. for the grand opening of the Salon at Market Square. The Salon is a renovated space in the complex designed to bring “hip and innovative entrepreneurs” to one area, company officials said. Hagan, a professed advocate of the furniture market, said at the

event that the traffic and the atmosphere she was seeing were positive signs for both the city and the state. “The excitement Hagan that I’m seeing just driving here today on the streets, the number of people and the management of the furniture market is telling me this is one of the best markets they’ve seen in a long time,” she said. “I think it’s important because it shows we are coming out of this recession, which means, I think, these buyers feel that their customer base is ready to start buying and spending again. Obviously, that means a lot to us here in North Carolina.” Brian Casey, president of the Market Authority, said at the

Experts say consumers are ready to spend for quality. 2A press breakfast Saturday that this market could be the best market in two years. “We’re already trending ahead of the last four markets,” he said about pre-registration numbers. Casey also said there was an “increase in leasing activity.” Some exhibitors reported swift business while others said it was too soon to tell how the rest of the week would play out. Representatives at Kalalou, an accessories company showing in Market Square, said business had boomed on Friday before the market officially opened.

“We did half of what we did in Las Vegas here in High Point on Friday,” Austin Bunch, vice president of sales and marketing for the company, told the High Point Enterprise on Saturday. “It’s looking promising so far.” Bryan Edwards, vice president of sales for Aspen Homes, which has a showroom in the International Home Furnishings Center, said the company expected business from buyers to slowly return this spring. “On Friday, we saw significantly more customers than we saw one year ago,” said Edwards. “The mood is positive, optimistic and forward thinking, but also very grounded. I think the buyer doesn’t want to take a lot of risks.”

‘BUSINESS’ BOOMS! for local colleges

Three institutions see growth during recession BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

university also saw 2,234 applications in 2006-2007 and received 5,100 this year, he said. Bob Burchette, spokesperson for Guilford Technical Community College, said the Board of Community Colleges hasn’t placed a tuition increase on its agenda so far this year. Officials in Raleigh did, however, issue a community college tuition increase last summer from $42 per credit hour to $50 per credit for in-state students. Tuition for out-of-state students increased from $233.30 per credit hour to $241.30 per credit hour. Alison Wiers, associate vice-president for GTCC, said an increase in some financial aid may have helped some students enroll at the college. But mostly, students are enrolling to train for new jobs, she said. “According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 65 percent of future jobs will require a two-year degree,” she said. “Plus, the increase in Pell grants is another factor.” John Wesley College has no tuition increase planned in the coming year and hasn’t issued a tuition increase in the past two years, college officials said.

HIGH POINT – When the economy tanked, it took a lot of things down with it. Higher education apparently wasn’t one of those things. Small businesses have closed since the recession hit in 2008, and employers have laid off hundreds of workers in High Point. But the higher education sector in the city has continued to see increases rather than decreases. Between the city’s two wellknown institutions, High Point University and Guilford Technical Community College, as well as its smaller, lesser-known institution, John Wesley College, all three have reported growth in the past two years. “JWC has seen record numbers of enrollment despite a recession and increasing college costs,” said Dr. Larry McCullough, the college’s recently appointed president. “Between the fall of 2008 and the fall of 2009, the college experienced a 22 percent growth.” McCullough added that the college, an accredited, interdenominational Christian institution, saw a 47 percent increase since fall 2009. McCullough said the majority of the school’s students were traditional undergraduate day students in their 20s, but some adult learners had come to the school “because they know that re-tooling in a down economy is beneficial to them.” That’s been the case at Guilford Technical Community College, which saw a 30 percent increase in enrollment this academic year compared to 20082009. “The dramatic growth is attributed to the recessive economy and a rather steady unemployment rate of 10-11 percent,” said Alison Wiers, associate

Rising costs don’t slow flow BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The success of some of High Point’s higher education institutions during a recession might seem even greater when compared to rising tuition prices. But despite rising costs over the years, the schools continue to see an increase in enrollment. High Point University’s academic year tuition will be raised by $2,000 from $33,400 to $35,400 this fall. The increase in the university’s flat, comprehensive fee, which includes housing, is due to almost two dozen new faculty members and new programs, university officials said. The price increase takes place not only amid a recession, but also during a time when the amount of students and the amount of tours given to prospective students has increased dramatically, according to Don Scarborough, vice president of community relations. Scarborough said 1,574 tours were given in the 2006-2007 academic year, and 3,371 tours have been given to prospective students so far in 2009-2010. The

Experts say consumers are tired of low-end furniture BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Consumers’ budgets are still tight, but most of them don’t want to buy lowend furniture that will have to be replaced within a few years, according to furniture experts Lee and Leslie Keno. The twin brothers, appraisers on PBS’s “Antiques Roadshow,” served as guest speakers at the High Point Market’s annual press breakfast Saturday morning. Even in tough economic conditions, Lee Keno said consumers were tired of cheap products. “It’s about style, but it’s about quality,” he said at the breakfast. “You can get the style, but then (low-end furniture) will fall apart in a week.”

The brothers are launching their first furniture line through Theodore Alexander at the High Point Market. Leslie Keno said since he and his brother were young, they had been fascinated by unique, high-quality and handcrafted furniture. They even tried to imitate some of those pieces as boys by carving wooden bowls, he said. Now, after long careers as “treasure hunters,” their first line contains many wooden pieces that reflect the American classics they’ve hunted for so many years. The brothers say quality doesn’t refer to the four-piece matching bedroom set that older generations were once accustomed to. Instead, it’s about a “creative

blending” process that still focuses on quality. They said they judge furniture by four standards: quality – which includes materials and craftsmanship – rarity, condition, provenance, or where it was made. Shoppers will certainly have to pay more money for quality pieces, Lee Keno said, but those pieces will one day become the “American classics” the brothers have sought. “You pay that little extra bit to keep (a piece) in your family and pass it along,” he said. “Do you really want to buy something and two years later have to buy it over again? I think we’re getting away from that.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Market earns IBP designation for fourth consecutive year ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – As market officials ready to receive their international guests for the High Point Market, the U.S. Department of Commerce has sent word that the 2011 High Point Market has been designated a U.S. Commercial Service International Buyer Program, or IBP, event. This will be the fourth time the High Point Market has been honored with the IBP designation. According to Brian Casey, president and chief executive officer of the High Point Market Authority, the IBP program is designed to connect U.S. companies with foreign customers and to raise global awareness of an event. “The High Point Market

is among more than 40 U.S. trade events representing major industry business sectors that have been selected for the IBP by the U.S. department of Commerce for calendar year 2011,” Casey said. “It is the only home furnishings trade event to receive the designation and recognizes the importance of our Market to the home furnishings industry here in the U.S. and the role that we play in the expansion of exports. The IBP designation also underscores the global nature of our Market and its influence on the world economy.” “We are pleased to be partnering again with High Point Market in 2011 to increase exports in this industry that support economic growth and jobs for

Police make arrest in homicide ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

LEXINGTON – The Lexington Police Department on Saturday was investigating an early-morning homicide that occurred in the city. Officers responded at 2:10 a.m. to a reported stabbing at 201 W. 8th Ave., police said. The victim, David Michael Johnson Jr., 28, of 18 Goodluck Drive, was taken to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, where he died from his injuries, police said. A suspect, Robert Lyndel Murphy, 28, of 201 W. 8th Ave., was taken into custody Saturday and charged with murder, police said. Police said Saturday the investigation was ongoing and asked anyone with information to call the police department at 243-3303.

vice president of the school. “The recession has significantly increased the popularity of community colleges, but students also have realized how affordable community colleges are.” GTCC also saw a record enrollment in spring 2010 with 13,954 students. The site of the school’s first classes held in 1955 was in a building at 716 English Road in High Point. Its main campus was later established in Jamestown. Traditional day students fill High Point University, which has seen enormous growth and success in the past five years with the addition of eight new buildings, the renovation of 16 more and the acquisition of 40 acres of land. Don Scarborough, vice president for community relations, said the growth in enrollment and other areas doesn’t appear to be stopping any time soon. “In a recession, community colleges normally thrive,” Scarborough said.

“People have lost their jobs and are retraining to find other opportunities. However, HPU is different in that four colleges and universities typically suffer (in a recession), as does the rest of the economy.” Scarborough points to examples such as Greensboro College, which cut its employee salaries by 20 percent last summer, when it was also behind in bills by almost $1 million. In the fall of 2005, HPU saw a freshman enrollment of 412. Last fall, it had 1,030 incoming freshman and projects 1,100 for this fall. “HPU has experienced significant and continual growth through the recession,” Scarborough said. It’s a pleasant scene that has played out across High Point’s three higher education institutions. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Megan Elliot, 26, uses her camera to document the decomissioning of the P-Reactor at the Savannah River Site near New Ellenton, S.C. About $1.6 billion in stimulus cash was used to create 3,100 temporary jobs in a rural corner of the state cleaning up the Savannah River Site, which already employed about 9,000 and churned out radioactive metals for the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nuclear arsenal during the Cold War.

Stimulus has become a boon in SC despite initial criticism AIKEN, S.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A majority of people in South Carolina didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vote for Barack Obama and many didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want any part of his stimulus cash, and folks in a particularly poor, hard-hit swath near the Georgia line were no exception. Until the money showed up. About $1.6 billion was used to create 3,100 temporary jobs in a rural corner of the state cleaning up the Savannah River Site, which already employed about 9,000 and churned out radioactive metals for the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nuclear arsenal during the Cold War. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am convinced itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what kept Aikenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy stronger than most communities during these poor economic times,â&#x20AC;? said David Jamison, president of the chamber of commerce in that solidly Republican city just north of the nuclear facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it has worked exactly like the way Washington had in mind. ...

That image is sharp in South Carolina, where unemployment in March was 12.2 percent, the sixth-highest in the country, according to Labor Department figures released Friday.

GOP Gov. Mark Sanford led angry residents in the charge to keep stimulus money for education out of the state, saying it would ultimately leave the economy in worse shape when the money dries up next year. So far, though, that chunk of the $787 billion appears to be doing what the president

promised: keep unemployment rates already among the highest in the nation from skyrocketing and give residents some hope that they could fight through the worst economic decline since the Great Depression. The recession has wiped out 8.2 million U.S. jobs, making competition for openings fierce. On average, there are five or six unemployed people competing for

Poland holds public memorial for crash victims WARSAW, Poland â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Some 100,000 Poles filled Warsawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest public square Saturday, joining together for a memorial and funeral Mass for the 96 people killed in a plane crash a week earlier. The thickening cloud of volcanic ash over Europe caused some world leaders â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including President Barack Obama, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to cancel plans to attend todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state funeral. Still, some European leaders said they would drive to Krakow. The crowd in Warsawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pilsudski Square waved white-and-red Polish flags with black ribbons.

US soldier dismissed for threats in Iraq protest BAGHDAD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The U.S. Army has dismissed a soldier who threatened fellow troops and sent the Pentagon a violent rap song he wrote to protest his Iraq redeployment orders, officials said Saturday. The dismissal for misconduct means Spc. Marc A. Hall will avoid criminal charges but lose all military benefits earned over at least four years of service, including an earlier tour in Iraq. Army spokesman Lt. Col. Eric Bloom said Saturday that top brass decided to discharge Hall instead of taking him to trial.

The Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore is hosting a game between the home team, Bangalore Royal Challengers, and the Mumbai Indians, as part of the popular Indian Premier League tournament. The city police commissioner told reporters that four officers and a security guard were among the wounded.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said America deceptively calls for non-proliferation while holding on to its own weapons and failing to confront Israel, which is widely believed to have nuclear bombs. The two-day conference appeared timed as a counterweight to President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 47-nation summit in Washington last week. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Afghan president appoints electoral board officials

Bombers kill refugees waiting for food in Pakistan KACHA PUKA, Pakistan (AP) – Two burqaclad suicide bombers attacked people who had fled a Pakistani offensive against the Taliban close to the Afghan border, killing 41 as they lined up Saturday to register for food and other relief supplies. The victims were among around 200,000 people to have left Orakzai since the end of last year, when the Pakistan army began offensive ground and air operations against militants based in the remote, tribally administered region. The registration point in Kohat region was man-

aged by the local administration, but sometimes used by foreign humanitarian groups, including the World Food Program, to deliver aid. There was no claim of responsibility, which is not unusual when bomb attacks kill ordinary Pakistani citizens. The United Nations said it was temporarily suspending work helping displaced people in Kohat and neighboring Hangu as a result of the attack. Al-Qaida and Taliban militants based in the northwest have carried out near-daily attacks over the last 18 months.

Pakistani police officers inspect the site of a suicide bombing in Kacha Pukka area near Kohat, Pakistan on Saturday. Two suicide bombers attacked refugees as they lined up for food at a camp for people fleeing military offensives in northwestern Pakistan.

KABUL (AP) – President Hamid Karzai took key steps toward reforming the country’s electoral system Saturday, naming a respected former judge to head Afghanistan’s election-organizing body and backing down from a bid to keep international representatives off a separate team that monitors fraud. The moves come after months of demands by the U.S. and its allies to clean up the electoral process following massive fraud in last year’s presidential balloting. Without meeting those demands, the Afghan government risked losing both funds for an upcoming parliamentary

vote and broader international support. Disagreem e n t s about how Karzai to handle last year’s fraud-marred presidential vote nearly derailed the U.S.-Afghan partnership, even as President Barack Obama was ordering thousands more U.S. troops to try to turn back the Taliban. Many international diplomats and officials have been worried that parliamentary elections scheduled for September could prove similarly disastrous.

President Johnson’s youngest daughter hospitalized AUSTIN, Texas – A family spokesman says Luci Baines Johnson, the youngest daughter of former President Lyndon Johnson, is being treated at the Mayo Johnson Clinic for what doctors suspect is a rare autoimmune disorder that affects the nervous system. Spokesman Tom Johnson says an emergency medical charter flew Johnson, 62, to the clinic in Rochester, Minn., on Friday. She was admitted to a hospital in Austin, Texas, on Wednesday after experiencing weakness in her limbs. The spokesman’s statement says doctors suspect Guillain-Barre syndrome, which affects the nerves that control movement and can cause paralysis.

Cousin: Vet who killed self changed by war DAYTON, Ohio – The cousin of an Iraq War veteran who killed himself outside a Veterans Affairs medical center in Ohio says serving in the war “affected him mentally.” Jason Osborne of North Carolina says 27-year-old Jesse Huff “went through a lot after he got out” and “wasn’t the same when he came back.” Huff shot himself twice with an assault rifle on Friday outside the center in Dayton, where authorities say he had been a patient.

The government buys homes in these areas and tears them down, replacing them with green space, parks or wildlife refuges. When the next flood comes, taxpayers don’t have to pay for sandbagging, emergency shelters, rescues or cleanup.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Former congressman Eric Massa said Saturday that someone forged a $40,000 salary increase for his chief of staff, who has accused the ex-lawmaker of sexual harassment. The New York Democrat also denied authorizing a check from a campaign account in the same amount to the same official, Joe Racalto, according to a statement released by Massa’s attorney. Racalto’s attorney denied the allegations and said both transactions were done at Massa’s direction. The exchange came one day after Racalto rea-

vealed he had filed a sexual harassment complaint against the former Massa congressman, who announced March 5 that he would resign. “The amount of $40,000 was determined solely by Mr. Racalto,” said the statement to The Associated Press. “Mr. Racalto never communicated the $40,000 amount of the payment to Mr. Massa.” Massa’s attorney Milo Silberstein declined to answer any questions Saturday after issuing the campaign’s statement.

Mexican-born actress charged with marriage fraud LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mexican-born actress Fernanda Romero has had bit parts in such movies as the horror film â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drag Me to Hell,â&#x20AC;? but federal prosecutors say her biggest act was pretending to be a bride. The 28-year-old actress and husband were arrested Friday at their

separate Los Angeles homes and charged with marriage fraud, the U.S. attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office said. They contend Romero paid Kent Ross, 28, to marry her in 2005 so that she could become a U.S. resident. Authorities said the two never lived together and Romero, whose full

name is Maria Fernanda Romero Martinez, submitted phony documents with her residency application. An investigation began after Romeroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ex-boyfriend, fashion photographer Markus Klinko, told immigration authorities her marriage was a sham.

In a filing to the California Second District Court of Appeal, Los Angeles County prosecutors argue a recent constitutional revision spelling out crime victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rights does not grant them the power to determine the outcome of criminal cases. They are also asking the appeals court to reject requests by Polanskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victim, Samantha Geimer, to have the case heard in another county and unseal recent testimony by a former prosecutor. Prosecutors argue that granting her request for

dismissal wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x153;fundamentally alter the way in which crimes are prosecutPolanski ed.â&#x20AC;? The filing argues that if victims were parties to criminal cases, cases could be dropped either through intimidation, coercion or public pressure.

‘Unmet need’ City considers low-income housing proposal BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The City Council on Monday will consider a proposal for the city to help finance a lowincome housing development. The city has received a proposal from Wynnefield Properties of Jamestown to construct a 56-unit af-

fordable housing development for the elderly on a two-acre site at the corner of Admiral Drive and Samet Drive in north High Point. The developer has requested a $500,000 loan with a 2 percent interest rate amortized over 20 years. The source of the loan would be the city’s Neighborhood Stabilization funds, which were received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as part of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. “High Point has a great

unmet need for safe, sanitary and decent affordable housing for its low- to moderate-income residents,” wrote Mike McNair, the city’s director of Community Development & Housing, in a memo about the proposal. “This development will be an initial step by the city to help address this need.” The project is tied to a requested rezoning and land-use plan amendment the council will consider. Last month, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the amendment and a request

to rezone 9.9 acres at the northeastern and northwestern corners of Samet Drive and Admiral Drive to allow for the area to be used for office space as well as high-density residential uses. The site is within the 46-acre Wendover Crossing development. The requests will be the subject of public hearings scheduled for 5:30 p.m. The council also is scheduled to consider giving final approval to a plan to convert the current weekly collection of recyclables to every other week beginning May 31.

have finished distributing 95-gallon recycling carts to all single-family home residents and have begun collection of recyclables with automated trucks. The carts replaced the 18gallon bins that were previously used. The change is part of a shift to an automated collection system for the city’s solid waste and recycling program and is estimated to save $500,000 each year.

HIGH POINT – Graduation season will be a time of celebration for many Guilford County Schools students, and a community forum has been organized in an effort to impress upon teenagers and their parents the importance of keeping alcohol out of the mix. A local substance abuse education, prevention and treatment agency has teamed up with other organizations and businesses to sponsor a town hall meeting to raise awareness about the problem of underage drinking. The event will include a speaker and panel of experts, and organizers say they hope to facilitate discussion of the topic among students and parents. “As far as what we’re seeing with teens, it seems that some people believe (underage drinking is) a rite of passage especially around prom and graduation season,” said Tracy Roche, prevention service consultant for Alcohol & Drug Services in High Point, one of the sponsors. “This is the crucial time when alcohol use by teens is at its highest, and parents need to be vigilant.” The meeting is scheduled to begin with professional motivational speaker Bob Anastas, the founder of Students Against Destructive Decisions. Anastas is a former pro quarterback, two-sport All-American athlete, teacher and coach who has addressed more than 2 million students in high schools and colleges across the country, according to Roche. One of the aims of the meeting is to educate parents about the importance of talking about drugs and alcohol with their children. Roche said the forum will offer tips about how to handle what is sometimes uncomfortable task, especially for parents who may have used drugs or alcohol when they were teenagers. “Some parents believe that they did it and turned out OK, therefore their kids will too,” she said. “There’s also the myth that the only danger with alcohol is drinking and driving, so if the teens are at home when they’re drinking they’re ‘safe’.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Cuban writer, activist Carlos Franqui dies SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) – Cuban writer and political activist Carlos Franqui, an important figure in the Cuban revolution who later became one of the most outspoken critics of Fidel Castro, has died. He was 89. Franqui died Friday in Puerto Rico after a brief hospitalization for bronchial and heart problems, according to family friend Andres Calendario. The son of a poor farmer, Franqui entered leftist political movements as a youth, joined and left the Communist Party and became a journalist who eventually joined Castro’s rebellion against dictator Fulgencio Batista. He edited the movement newspaper Revolucion before and after

Castro’s insurgents defeated Batista, but increasingly clashed with hard-liners who were restricting cultural and political dissent. Franqui moved abroad in 1963 and openly broke with the communist government in 1968 when he denounced the Soviet invasion of Czechsolvakia. “For him, the experience of having helped build a revolution that destroyed his country was extraordinarily bitter,” Calendario said. “He was immensely affected by having forced a system that in the end he had to confront and fight against.” In a 2006 interview with the Mexican magazine “Letras Libres,” Franqui said he had rejected Fidel Castro’s offer to be a military commander and later a minister.

Renal failure kills pioneering black businessman Llewellyn NEW YORK (AP) – J. Bruce Llewellyn, who was once called an empire-building dealmaker and a savvy entrepreneur and forged a legacy to become one of the country’s most renowned and wealthy black businessmen, has died. He was 82. His widow, Shahara Ahmad-Llewellyn, said Friday her husband was not a “monolithic businessman.” “He was 6-foot-6, a big guy who at the drop of a hat would tell you a story and at the end of it you would be laughing so hard your sides would hurt,” she said in a phone interview. Llewellyn died April 7 in Manhattan at an apartment near the NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center where he was undergoing treatment, she said. The cause of death was renal failure. Llewellyn was a legend in black business but had also marked decades in public

service, including having taken on jobs offered by Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, and as an advocate for higher education for minorities. His streak of success in business began in 1969, when he bought a 10-store chain of supermarkets and expanded it to 29 stores throughout Harlem and the South Bronx, making it one of the largest minority-owned businesses in the country. He went on to own a television station, WKBWTV, in Buffalo, N.Y., an ABC affiliate, which he later sold, and to become a shareholder in a New York cable business. But he was most successful in the bottling business. In 1985, after selling the supermarket chain, he became the majority owner of Philadelphia Coca-Cola Bottling Co., which became the nation’s fourth-largest Coke bottler in the country.

Scholarship helps students fulfill their dreams T

he young woman stood alone just inside the massive doorway. I knew I had met her before as she approached me with a beautiful smile on her face. That beautiful smile belonged to High Pointer Zaineb Ata, a junior at High Point University. Both of us had just arrived at the University Center at HPU for the Annual Qubein Scholarship Foundation Luncheon. This is a unique luncheon that I attend each year. It couples the influential members of the Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of trustees with renewing and ABOUT graduating TOWN student Mary recipients Bogest of one of the Qubein Scholarships. Amazingly, there is no lack of conversation as the students share stories of the past year and the trustees become enthralled with the student life of these remarkable young men and women. Ata and I, along with other students, waited in the lobby of the University Center until we were beckoned to the Presidents Club. The significance of this interim was of extreme importance to newly selected recipients. The trustees are sequestered throughout the morning interviewing and assessing of new scholarship candidates. As the doors to the Presidents Club open, the scholarly decisions have been made that can change a young studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. As we waited, I learned more about my young friend whose determinaâ&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

MARY BOGEST | HPE

Qubein Foundation Trustee Earl Congdon (from left) stands with scholarship recipient HPU junior Zaineb Ata and newly designated Trustee Ramsey Qubein. over 700 students! After we enjoyed a delicious lunch, each student representing Meredith College, UNC Chapel Hill, UNC Wilmington, UNC Charlotte, Duke, Wake Forest and Mount Olive, stood and told a little about themselves in what has become a time-honored tradition. One of my â&#x20AC;&#x153;lunch buddiesâ&#x20AC;? was another HPU student, High Pointer Seth Caldwell, who as a sophomore also holds down a full-time job in security at Penneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. He hopes to go into law enforcement with the High Point Police Department when he graduates. How quickly time goes by. It seems like only yesterday when High Pointer Sarah Sheffield was an incoming freshman and the first recipient of the Robert Brown Scholarship. Now she is graduating from HPU, has a job lined up and hopes to open her own 24-hour coffee shop. After the luncheon, each student and trustee (and me) were presented with Qubeinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How to be a Great Communicator ... In Person, On Paper, and On the Podium.â&#x20AC;? Oh, how does he have the time? I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better do something about my time management skills, or lack there of. Now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting to the fun part. Past Chairman Buck Kester and I werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to attend the grand

opening of the University Center, so Dr. Qubein Gave a personalized and behind-the scenes-tour to me and the contingency from Mount Olive College. You recall that it was when Qubein was a student at Mount Olive that an unidentified benefactor paid for his college, thus leading to establishing the Qubein Scholarship Foundation when he was just 23 years old. Traversing from the Presidents Club, which is named for all of the HPU presidents (Qubein is the seventh), we first went next door to the upscale 1924 Prime Steakhouse, which sort of reminds me of the Oak Room at the Plaza Hotel in NYC. As soon as we walked in, I spotted Tim Applegate, formerly of J Basul Noble Restaurant. I was so happy to see him, and he looked very contented. He showed me a menu, and believe me, even with a full tummy, I started to salivate as I perused the entrees. This is the restaurant (no extra student charges ... counts the same as if they ate in the cafeteria) where students are expected to dress appropriately and use appropriate table manners. In addition, if they do not honor their reservations, they are banned from the restaurant for a month. This is teaching manners and etiquette all in one. I applaud and commend

Police say Taft slaying was random act MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Raleigh police think the slaying of State Board of Education member Kathy Taft was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a random act of violence,â&#x20AC;? Police Chief Harry Dolan said Saturday afternoon. Jason Keith Williford, 30, of 2812 Wayland Drive, Apt. D, was charged Friday with rape and murder in connection with Taftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death. In a news conference Saturday, Dolan said police think Williford acted alone. He also said detectives can find no link between Williford and Taft. Williford lived just a few blocks away from where Taft was found blooded and beaten in the home of a friend at 2710 Cartier Drive. Many men in the neighborhood had given DNA samples to Raleigh police in the weeks since Taftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death on March 9. Williford, though, did not.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have not received any cooperation from Williford in this case,â&#x20AC;? Dolan said. The chief noted that officers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot to go on at the start of investigation. They interviewed Williford for the first time in recent days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is the first and only suspect,â&#x20AC;? Dolan said. Dolan said the City-County Bureau of Identification and the State Bureau of Investigation worked closely with Raleigh police on the case. He also praised the work of lab technicians. Williford apparently lives with others in the Wayland residence, but Dolan couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say how many. He also declined to discuss any murder weapon or anything else at the crime scene. Taft, 62, of Greenville, is survived by four adult children. Her sister, Dina Arnold Holton, called emergency dispatchers to

the Cartier Drive residence at 9:31 a.m. March 6 to report that Taft was in bed, unresponsive and bleeding. The day before, Taft had seen a plastic surgeon and had minor surgery on her neck, Holton told the 911 dispatcher. The two women had been staying at the Cartier Drive home of Raleigh lawyer John Geil, who had dated Taft, while he was in Florida. Williford has been in trouble with the law before, amassing an arrest record that includes several burglary and drug-related charges. According to court records, he was convicted in 2001 of breaking and entering, a misdemeanor charge that brought him a suspended sentence and three years of probation. He is a bassist and vocalist in the Raleigh band The Authority. According to the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Web site, Williford also has played in

the bands Mourning Wood and Traces of Morrow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (The Authority) were a jam band, played the Berkeley a lot with another band called Mackey. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a while, maybe three years,â&#x20AC;? said Jim Shires, who books bands for the Berkeley Cafe in downtown Raleigh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never liked (Williford). He was a Berkeley Wednesday night regular whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d come in on jam nights, always be telling me how I needed to run the place, bringing in his own beer,â&#x20AC;? Shires said Friday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He dated a girl who worked there for a while. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care for him, but I never wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve guessed he was capable of that. I never saw him be mean or violent.â&#x20AC;? On the arrest warrant, Williford is listed as unemployed. He is being held without bail in the Wake County jail.

this approach. It is wonderful preparation for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;realâ&#x20AC;? world. As we walked through the residence area, there were several groups of visitors escorted by a student ambassador. As interesting as seeing the rooms (things have changed since I went to college), it was pure entertainment watching Qubein with both HPU students and the families who on that day represented New York, North Carolina, Maryland and Pennsylvania. Over 70 families a day visit HPU. As I watched in enjoyment, I verified what I had always known. Qubein loves these students. He loves talking with them. He loves giving them the opportunities for their future. As we visit The Point Sports Restaurant, he waves at every student. The same is true in the Great Day Bakery or in the Library, where it is so quiet, only a friendly wave will suffice. He smiles at each student, maybe teasing him, maybe encouraging her or maybe just letting him know that he is there for them. It is fun to watch. We ended our tour at the Ice Cream Truck. It was a special day for me but just a normal day at HPU! MARY BOGEST is an artist and writer who resides in High Point | MSBogest@aol.com

As we talked, I realized Ata is just one shining example of the students that receive these scholarships each year, that if I would take the time to talk to every student, I would find similar stories of hope for the future and similar aspirations. My conclusion? I think our future is in good hands.

HIGH POINT MARKET, CAROLINAS 4B www.hpe.com SUNDAY, APRIL 18, 2010 THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a spring in marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s step this year E

verywhere you looked around the city this past week, it was clear that final preparations for the spring 2010 High Point Market were under way. Tents were being raised, trucks unloaded, banners hung, lists checked and checked again. The downtown was a hive of activity and the sense of excitement and expectation grew with each passing hour. High Point was readying for its guests with a spring in its step. The enthusiasm and upbeat attitudes in evidence were a far cry from what I encountered during my first spring market here four years ago. Back then, the bitterness and resentment associated with our market was almost overwhelming, and the negative feedback was coming at me from all sides â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the market guests, the exhibitors, the media and the community as a whole. Back then, we were operating from a position of fear. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until we began acting from a position of strength that things started to turn around. Four years later, taking stock of the situation as we experienced the excitement of another opening day, I am pleased and excited to report that all of the initiatives and the efforts that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve undertaken here at the High Point Market Authority to turn this market around are really starting to pay off. Of particular note this market is how far weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come in our attempt to solve one of the thorniest problems that faced us: Affordable accommodations. As many homeowners who have opened their doors to market guests are well aware, for years there simply werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough hotel rooms in the area to go around. Yet growth in the Triad has attracted many more hoteliers

and new properties to the region, which means that fewer marketgoers MARKET are renting AUTHORITY homes for market week these Brian Casey days. When â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; I came to High Point four years lem was not the number of available hotel rooms, but the rates being charged for those rooms. For the past two years, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked closely with Triad hoteliers to advocate on behalf of the market guests. Our goal throughout this process has been simple: To ease the pressure on individuals and businesses traveling to market, particularly during some of the most difficult economic times many will experience in their professional lives. Most recently, more than 50 Triad hotels committed to the Marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hotel Partner Program â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ensuring that travelers here that book their accommodations through the Market Authority website receive the best rates possible. Just one year ago, the average rate was $170 per night. This market, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing a dramatic improvement. Guests are enjoying rates that average $130 per night, without any minimumnight stay requirements, and the hotels this weekend are booked solid. The latter is an important point, because the behavior patterns of marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guests have changed over the years. The fact is, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a different place now. Retailers are sending fewer individuals to market, and those individuals stay for shorter periods of time. And incidentally, this behavioral shift is not unique to our market. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening at trade shows

of all types, all over the world. The good news is that this spring, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing retailers return to market that we have not seen in the past few years largely due to the economy, as well as the return of many retailers who had essentially given up on High Point. Other factors impacting this important turnaround have included the revitalized Pre-Market movement, largely driven by Kevin Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor, president and chief executive officer of Samson Marketing, parent company of Universal Furniture and Legacy Classic, and nearly two dozen leading case goods manufacturers who put their competitive issues aside to come together for the greater good of all. The Pre-Market events have helped to solidify and support the High Point Marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brand position as the premiere Market for world premieres. Indeed, there are more new products introduced here than at any other home furnishings market in the world. Our marketing, communications and branding efforts have also been significant throughout the past four years, and have contributed greatly to the tipping point that we are experiencing now. At the same time, on the operations side, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked hard to strengthen the well-oiled transportation system that was already in place when I arrived, and to improve overall on the customer experience by stepping up entertainment and networking options for market guests. The positive attitudinal shift weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing is also the result of a number of grassroots efforts and new programs that have focused on building bridges. Frankly, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re simply doing a much better job now of serving the needs of the many constituencies

that make up market, from interior designers, to first-time visitors, international guests, and manufacturers representatives, in addition to the many independent furniture retailers that comprised the vast majority of marketgoers in years past. At the same time, building owners and exhibitors here have been making significant investments in improving the face of market. Salon, a new juried exhibition space inside the Suites at Market Square that is the culmination of a multimillion investment by Merchandise Mart Properties opened here Saturday, and a number of leading manufacturers have expanded and improved showrooms at the International Home Furnishings Center and other buildings across the market. In everything we do, our goal is to deliver a compelling experience for all, and to make a market that is 101 years old this spring continually new and exciting. And while Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve accomplished to this juncture, I also know we have to work harder than ever to maintain the level of innovation that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve established. None of us in High Point can affordever to take what we have here for granted, nor can we afford to get complacent, because complacency will lead us right back to those dark days when the fear of losing something unique to the industry, our city, the Triad and the state of North Carolina was all too real. The High Point Market is something we all share in here in the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home for home furnishings. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vital to all of us that we ensure we continue to maintain this spring in our step for many, many seasons to come.

CHAPEL HILL â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A public forum will be held Monday in Chapel Hill to discuss the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exploding deer population. Town officials have assembled a lineup of experts from the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, Orange County Health Department and other agencies to share their expertise about the effects of the deer population on the environment, potential health risks related to deer overpopulation and the feasibility of an urban bow hunt to cull

deer herds. One resident says she already knows the damage a hungry herd of deer can do to residential landscaping. A couple of summers ago, a herd leveled her accubas, azaleas, hostas and other plants by midsummer. She says assembling facts to make good decisions about the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deer population is a good step in the right direction, but she worries that emotions will still rule the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little like talking about God or something,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are pretty wedded to their position.â&#x20AC;?

Churchstate issue clouds schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; conversion INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A plan to create what could be the first U.S. public charter schools run by a Roman Catholic archdiocese is meeting resistance from those who worry about whether religious messages and icons will really stay out of the classrooms and hallways. Mayor Greg Ballard says the plan is an innovative way to keep schools open so they can fill the needs of families in the struggling areas surrounding the schools. Archdiocese officials saw an opportunity to keep the schools open despite a growing budget deficit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A good neighborhood school is always a good thing to have,â&#x20AC;?

Health care overhaul exempts Amish from insurance mandates GOSHEN, Ind.

LEONARD PITTS: To John McCain’s integrity, rest in peace. TOMORROW

Opinion Page Editor: Vince Wheeler vwheeler@hpe.com (336) 888-3517

Constructive dialogue, respect help us learn, grow Once again, thanks to Leonard Pitts for offering compassionate confrontation. As he points out, somehow and rightly so, Christian extremists, fanatics, terrorists – violent individuals who spew hate, violence in the name of Christianity – are not acceptable as representative members of the Christian faith. Why then are extremist, fanatic, terrorist individuals spewing hate and violence in the name of other faiths deemed representative of those, minority-present, faiths? Ignorance breeds fear; fear breeds contempt. I am in verbal confrontation with a wonderful woman in my church; we violently disagree on matters related to Pitts’ column (April 8, 2010). I get mad at her, no doubt she gets mad at me; I sometimes want to give up on our “discussions” and I expect she does also. Complication is that I have grown to respect her. I won’t suppose what she thinks of me right now; however if this continues, we’ll probably become fairly committed friends. So what if we were all, you know all of us, crowded together in this incubator, petri dish, biosphere kind of reality TV show; what would happen, would we ever learn to learn from each other?

I was working very hard just to keep a roof over my family’s heads, clothes on their backs, food in their bellies, and transportation for us all. Then I had a stroke. The doctor refused to do tests on me because I had no insurance, and sent me home from the emergency room walking funny and with my blood pressure extremely high. I went home and took a nap, woke up eight hours later completely paralyzed down my left side. Had I been able to get treatment earlier, I wouldn’t have had such extensive brain damage. My sister-in-law worked for a company that provided health insurance, right up until she got cancer. Then they canceled her insurance. She submitted herself to experimental treatments in order to get some kind of care. One treatment required that she be put into a coma for the procedure. It went very well until afterward, they couldn’t bring her out of the

Market optimism returns

xpectations for the spring 2010 version of the High Point Market are noticeably more optimistic than they’ve been during the past couple of years. There’s pretty good reason for that. The stock markets have rebounded nicely, and job losses seem to have leveled out somewhat. The overall mood of many of those in the industry just seemed to be better last week as the market prepared for Saturday’s kick off for another six-day run. And Friday’s announcement that United Furniture Industries NC will open a new plant in Davidson County creating 150 jobs didn’t hurt one bit. Based in Mississippi, where it has three plants, United Furniture also has a facility in High Point and another in Archdale. The two local plants together employ about 400 people. It’s encouraging enough that United Furniture is coming to Davidson County where the unemployment rate has been high, but it’s even better that the company plans to purchase the vacant Stanley Furniture distribution site in Lexington for its new plant. It’s great that United Furniture wants to make a vacant structure come alive again with manufacturing activities using the skilled work force that Davidson County offers. The company produces affordable living room furniture, including sofas, chairs, recliners, sleepers and other items. We won’t know until later just how successful this market will be or what factors might arise overnight to impact it. But as of Friday, things certainly look better than they have in a couple of years.

The same things happen to thousands more folks in our area. So I thank Hagan for being brave enough to stand up for me and others like me. CATHY BRIGGS Archdale

In America, all should have affordable health care It is the time for health care reform. I work in the health care field and have witnessed the needs of the uninsured and the underinsured. I have seen people have to make the decision whether to feed their family or pay for health care. Without the caring of churches and private citizens many a person would have done without basic health care.

I say a hearty thank you to all North Carolina members of Congress for the passage of the health care reform legislation, if they stood up an voted for it. Give a big old “raspberry” to those who did not (Sen. Richard Burr). To all of the people who are so concerned that this will bankrupt the country, I have a suggestion; don’t use it. This will save all that money, and only those truly in need will be helped. If we need some more money to pay for that, we can tax the two-thirds of the corporations who paid nothing in taxes over the years. RON LOFTIS Jamestown

Market Press celebrates its 30th anniversary this weekend

t was conceived right after the Southern Furniture Market in the fall of 1979. Over the years, several people at The High Point Enterprise – none of them still working here – took or were given credit for creating Market Press, a daily newspaper with a simple yet direct mission: “To meet the morning news needs of the thousands of people who attend (what now is called the High Point) Market, the home furnishing industry’s premier marketing event.” But, I found out, shortly after Market Press’ 20th anniversary in 2000, that Bob Lindsay, who as Enterprise advertising director in 1979 was a little more than halfway through his 51-year employment with the newspaper, was “the father of Market Press.” Heralded then as the “only newspaper providing world news, sports, stock market closings and more specifically for marketgoers,” Market Press was born on a cool (mid-60s), sunny morning 30 years ago, on April 17, 1980. The seed was sown at the Enterprise coffee pot stand when then Enterprise president and co-publisher Randall B. Terry Jr. wondered aloud if there was some way the Enterprise could tap into the furniture market. [Lindsay died in 2003, and Terry died in 2004.] Lindsay accepted the challenge, two years before USA Today made its debut so there was no model to mimic. Lindsay hired Jim Casey, who had been employed by what is now the International Home Furnishings Center, in November 1979 to build the Market Press revenue stream. Casey did much of the preparation work for the first edition before returning to the “Big Building,” and Lane Oldham, then in the Enterprise advertising department, was given the task of selling many of the ads for the publication. Oldham traveled for eight weeks through Tennessee, Virginia and South Carolina, leaving on Monday each week and returning on Friday, knocking on furniture company doors to drum up support. In those early days, Market Press was published the first seven days of each market (starting on Thursday and ending on Friday nine days later). At that time, the Enterprise still was printed and distributed in the afternoon Mondays through Fridays with morning editions on Saturdays and Sunday. Several members of the Enterprise staff would “double back” in the evenings to put together Market Press that had an 11 p.m. or later to-press deadline. Since the Enterprise became a morning paper in 1994, Market Press has had earlier

to-press deadlines. Because of the earlier deadlines, financial tables and results of nighttime sporting events no longer are part of the mix, but Market Press continues to provide news and business reports from across America and around the world, along with OPINION plenty of photos and information of special interest – such as social Tom and seminar calendars – to those Blount attending and working at market. ■■■ Special features such as Ken Carpenter’s “Market rap-up” column, Dear Abby, horoscope, bridge, crossword features and dining guide were added to the mix in the late 1990s and the publication shifted from broadsheet to tabloid in October 2008 primarily so it would be easier to read on buses, vans and trolleys heading for market from the airport, outlying hotels and motels and from the park-and-ride lots at Oak Hollow Mall and off Market Center Drive. The publication also is distributed to all major showroom buildings and to various other locations in the downtown market area. Market Press has had four publishers, including current Enterprise Publisher Mike Starn, and nine advertising leaders over the years prior to Lynn Wagner, Enterprise advertising director. Both made their debuts with Market Press in the fall of 2008. During its first 24 years, Market Press had “rotating” editors, working mostly with sixperson staffs (including sports) on any given night, taking charge. Since 2004, Special Sections Editor Howard Hayes, who has served in a wide variety of editorial department positions during his 40 years with the Enterprise, has been Market Press’ editor, producing the publication with help from three to five editorial department colleagues, depending on the page load, for distribution the day before the official market opening and the first four days of each market’s seven-day run. Even though the High Point Market is generally open only to the trade, many residents of the greater High Point area participate in market in a wide variety of ways. If you are one of them, you’ll be able to see Market Press while you’re on duty. Happy Birthday! Y’all have a good market, y’hear?

Let’s drink up with this Tea Party idea I owe my life T to Ron BY BRIAN E. PAYNE

y mentor, Ronald B. Wilkins is dead. Died a day before his birthday. Over the years, as he got sick, Ron spent his final days extremely low key. The declining health really affected his spirit. It unmotivated him. He lost part of his faith. This after his faith was rocked by the people he so desperately tried to inspire and help never really grabbed a hold of his message. That was his biggest heartbreak. Ron was a dynamic man. He loved people – and wanted to see a better place, here on earth. I remember when I first met him. I was at my internship site on the first day. After unsuccessfully trying to convince the man who was supposed to show me the ropes of one particular recreation department that I was his responsibility for the day, Ron stepped in and took me under his wings. I never left. ... From that moment, that day, Ron became my mentor. My confidant. My friend. My shoulder. My strength. My reason to be Ron’s soul mate. It was he who encouraged me to join the Peace Corps. It was he who encouraged me to complete seminary. It was he who convinced me that all events/things happen for a reason after I had given up on life. I recall that day of suicidal contemplation. It was two days after I had just won my second national championship. Why I was so depressed is no longer a mystery: I got tired of winning for everyone else – and still feeling empty. The emptiness almost destroyed me. Here I was,

a double champion – and I hated life. Life is what Ron helped me enter with his constant sacrificial support and joyous laughter. I began to smile ... as a result of him. Ron convinced me to be me at all cost. No matter what people think, “Brian, just be you. No one else can. Love Brian E. Payne.” Loving me became special priority! I have often told people, “Ron saved my life. Therefore, he is my savior.” That he was! No Jesus saved me. It was Ron Wilkins and Brian E. Payne. Without Ron’s intervention on Sept. 9, 1992, I would still be “sitting and waiting” on someone to “take charge” of me for a day. Without his intervention on Jan. 18, 1991, I would be long gone from here ... not living. All praises are due to Ronald Bernard Wilkins. “Love you Brian. You are all you have. Seize it while seizing the day. Carpe Diem!” Ronald B. Wilkins ... I am me as a result of him. I remain here as a result of him. BRIAN E.

Party, but not the kind currently brewing. We the people would do well to sit calmly and civilly reason together over a pot of tea to review our social contract with government. If we are aware of what is happening and consciously make the decision that government’s role will be dominant, that is one decision. My concern is that our freedoms have eroded without such awareness. It would serve us to examine what the founders of this nation initially envisioned as respective roles between national and state government, to take stock of where we are today and determine whether we are comfortable with the role of government in our lives, finally deciding what, if any, changes we would make. This discussion would be one tea party worth attending.

Not even religion is sacred; government has gotten into the business of telling us what is or isn’t permissible regarding our respective faith practices.

hat would happen to our economy if the federal income and payroll taxes, including personal, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security/ Medicare, self-employment and corporate taxes were suddenly eliminated? Businesses would not have to pay the 7.5 percent matching payroll taxes for their employees, wouldn’t need extra accountants or tax attorneys for calculating and paying taxes, and would have the ability to make decisions that didn’t include complying with (or circumventing) governmental controls and interference. It also means they wouldn’t have to shelter their profits in offshore banks in order to make money. Think how much money they would have to reinvest in their businesses and to hire more employees. It is estimated that there is at least $3 trillion in offshore accounts that could, and would, return to the United States and be available to the economy to invest and spend. We would be the 500-pound gorilla of the economic world. The United States would have the lowest tax rate of any country in the world, instead of the second-highest. Foreign companies would beat a path to our shores to open branches and/or relocate their headquarters instead of our jobs going overseas. Employment would skyrocket!

paid no federal income and payroll taxes, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, self-employment taxes, including taxes on earnings from savings accounts and investment distributions, and instead took home the dollars that are now deducted from their checks (except where state income taxes apply) every payday? Under the FairTax, that is what would happen. The FairTax, HR25 and S296, would replace all the above taxes with a 23 percent inclusive sales tax on all new products and services sold at the retail level. Items sold wholesale, business to business (other than consumables), or

used items would not be taxed. Products are taxed only once, at the retail, consumer level. The manufacturers’ cost of products, which today includes a 22 percent (average) “cost of taxation” embedded in their cost, could and would be lowered by about the same amount. Remove 22 percent (average) and add the 23 percent inclusive tax. For example, a $100 product today would become a $101.30 product [ (100-22)/.77 = $101.30]. The price might increase by a percent or two. Remember, the FairTax is “inclusive” the same way you understand income taxes. You earn $1,000 and out of that pay $300 taxes or 30

percent inclusive. We calculate the FairTax the same way. Do not add 23 percent to the cost of a product, but include it by dividing the net cost by 0.77 which will give you the sale price inclusive of the tax. If you see a product for $100 you will pay $100 and the retailer will forward $23 to the government. You will also see on your receipt that you paid $77 for the product plus $23 sales tax for a total of $100. To ensure no American pays tax on necessities, the FairTax plan provides a prepaid, monthly rebate (prebate) for every registered household to cover the consumption tax spent on necessities up to the federal poverty level. This, along with several other features, is how the FairTax completely untaxes the poor, lowers the tax burden on most, while making the overall rate progressive. However, the FairTax is progressive based on lifestyle/spending choices, rather than simply punishing those taxpayers who are successful. Do you see how much freer life is with the FairTax instead of the income tax? Employment will increase year after year as companies expand or are moved here. Everyone has more money in their pocket to purchase these goods and services. Retail prices no longer hide corporate taxes or their compliance costs, which drive up costs for those who can least afford to pay. It is a win-win situation except for politicians who can no longer use the system to reward or punish. April 15 will be just another spring day! PHILLIP R. SCHILTZ is a retired businessman.

Patriot becomes terrorist when tossing brick BY JAMES BRIGHAM

here is a moment, very specific in time, when your thoughts become your actions, when you cut a gas line or throw a brick, when a patriot becomes a terrorist. That heinous act is momentarily justified, as patriotic terrorism. Socialists taking over, rights taken away, government running health care, gay soldiers well-entrenched, free enterprise run by big brother, the Federal Reserve printing money to bankrupt the republic, commies running the White House. All of this is too much. To imagine, it is happening in our time. We must act and act

now to save this country. The clock ticks, the time is now! … These are thoughts that run through the mind of a patriot, who, when he throws that brick becomes our terrorist. The terrorist will be caught. Speedy trial guaranteed. Conviction promised. Lone in his actions, the terrorist will live his life behind bars. Occasional appeals will be noted in back pages of the papers. His family always will love him, though they’ll wonder about that point in time, that moment, when their patriot died and our terrorist was born. They will

question what they could have done, or should have done, that would have changed their shared history, as all they have left is that history. They will spend their lifetime looking for that answer. Most will say he was mentally disturbed, listened to voices in his head. Most will forget he was told exactly what to do in subtle, subliminal ways and in very vocal speeches from the likes of Sarah Palin, radio talk shows and frustrated politicians. Protected by the First Amendment, these folks spew lies backed up by half-truths. They scream fire in a crowded theater. They incite a crowd to riot. They breach the peace.

They get away with it, never to be held accountable for their contributions to terrorism. On April 19, 15 years ago Monday, Timothy McVeigh drove a rental truck bomb to the federal building in Oklahoma City. He killed 168 innocent souls, injured 1,000 more. He was in tune to talk radio’s G. Gordon Liddy, who called for violence at the beginning of every show. Our next domestic terrorist will be tuned into the irresponsible talk radio and inept politicians, who will never sit beside him in court, but they are just as guilty. Pray for peace.

Holder: More work needed on civil rights RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder says the country still suffers from racial inequality in everything from unemployment to the length of prison terms. Holder spoke at a conference in Raleigh to mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of pioneering civil rights group the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Georgia Congressman John Lewis said civil rights veterans should act as a counterbalance to the conservative Tea Party movement.

adelphia. If Lyons has his way, thousands, perhaps millions of Americans will be starting their mornings with PyRuKo puzzles, just the way they warm up with Sudoku. The new Sudoku, if you will. So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PyRuKo? Well, like Sudoku itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a logic puzzle. It uses the numerals 1 through 9, although, like Sudoku, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a mathematical problem. Unlike the rectangular Sudoku, however, PyRuKo is based on triangles. A typical PyRuLKo puzzle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lyons rates them from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Easyâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moderateâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Challengingâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; takes the form of an upside-down triangle. This big triangle is divided

into four smaller triangles, each further subdivided into nine three-sided spaces. Each of the spaces in those four small triangles will contain the numerals 1 through 9, with no repeats. Also, the three axes of the triangle will contain the numerals 1 through 9 with no repeats. Some of the blanks on each puzzle are helpfully filled in. All you have to do is figure out what goes in the remaining blanks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just go through and eliminate,â&#x20AC;? Lyons said. If a 4 is here, for instance, it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t also be over there. Easy, right? â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Mom can do it,â&#x20AC;? Lyons said, grinning, â&#x20AC;&#x153;anyone can.â&#x20AC;?

Waiting game Small businesses still searching for the recovery WASHINGTON (AP) – Small businesses are still waiting for the economic rebound that’s enabled larger companies to obtain low-interest credit and to boost exports and production in recent months. Smaller companies aren’t much more optimistic than they were in the depths of the recession, according to a survey released by the National Federation of Independent Business.

That pessimism is slowing job creation and likely weakening the recovery, economists say. The NFIB’s small business optimism index fell 1.2 points to 86.8 in March, the lowest level since July 2009. That’s a sharp contrast with other surveys showing larger companies rebounding. “The March reading is very low and headed in the wrong direction,” said William Dunkelberg, chief

economist at the NFIB. “Something isn’t sitting well with small business owners.” Small businesses account for about half of gross domestic product. Firms with fewer than 50 employees historically have created about onethird of new jobs, according to Scott Brown, chief economist at Raymond James. The NFIB’s index has been below 90 for 18 straight months, the longest sub-90 period since the survey began in 1973. It fell below 90 for only one three-month period in the steep 1981-92 recession. Small businesses cite

weak sales and uncertainty about the economic recovery as their leading concerns. Obtaining loans also remains difficult for many NFIB members. Fifteen percent said credit was harder to get than the last time they sought loans, the NFIB said, up from 12 percent in February. On a more positive note, many small companies appear to have stopped laying off workers. The NFIB’s members reported no change in employment in March, after shedding workers every month since July 2008. But with sales and earnings weak, few are ready to hire. Over the next three

months, slightly more said they planned to cut workers than add jobs, on a seasonally adjusted basis. The Institute of Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing executives at large companies, said earlier this month that surveys showed both the manufacturing and service sectors are expanding at a healthy clip. “The recovery might not be quite as impressive as those ISM indices currently suggest,” said Paul Ashworth, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics. “The truth ... is probably somewhere between” the ISM and NFIB surveys.

Designers offer full, one-stop service BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Business owners Eric and Diane Lackey have experienced a little deja vu in the past few years. When they opened their business as a newlywed couple in 1979, an oil crisis and economic turmoil plagued the country. “The economy was as bad then as it is now,” said Eric Lackey. “New construction was way down, also just like it is now.” The couple, with degrees in business, art and English, observed that most people at that time were focusing on their existing properties and bettering their homes rather than building new ones. They opened a store at 509 Randolph St. in Thomasville to provide customers with custom window treatments and other home services that were still thriving “We saw a need for that in the area at that time,” he added. “The focus was on keeping homes up. There was a void in the area for this type of business.” As years went by, the store, The Decorator’s Edge, began expanding its services until it grew into a full-service interior design firm, showroom and retail store. Still offering custom window treatments, the couple began tackling other projects such as kitchen and bathroom renovations and interior design services. They began with smaller jobs and continued to larger ones. “Our business isn’t a one-element business anymore,” said Diane Lack-

ey, a High Point University graduate. “It’s really a total concept. The concept of what we do – sometimes people lose site of that. We do everything from blueprints and up.” The store also offers furniture, accessories, lighting and paint services. The couple attends the bi-annual High Point Market in search for new products for their clients, and the showroom is open to the public so shoppers can stop in to buy pieces on their own as well. “We are a retail store, so people can come in and buy

a picture frame or anything,” said Eric Lackey, who also shows Tennessee walking horses in his spare time. “But a lot of times, a person doesn’t want to buy a $5,000 piece of furniture on their own. They want an interior designer’s help with that.” Beyond the Triad, they’re taking on international projects known as destination homes in Italy and Caribbean countries. The destination homes are owned by a large group of people who pay a membership to use them, often for vacations. The couple has designed and renovated some of the homes, which have brought in significant new business for the past six years, they said. They’ll also travel out of state for a job. Eric Lackey recalls numerous clients he’s done work for in Tennessee that he met while showing horses. Now in a comfortable

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Twitter announced that it is introducing advertising, allowing companies to pay to have their messages show up first in searches on its site. The introduction of Promoted Tweets comes as Twitter increasingly faces questions about how to turn its wide usage into profits. Twitter has grown quickly in popularity since it started in 2006, with celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey and Ashton Kutcher “tweeting” messages of 140 characters or less alongside everyday users. But the site has been slow to capitalize on that success. Twitter has been making an undisclosed amount of money by providing Google Inc. and Microsoft Corp. with access to messages for their search engines. Many people expected Twitter would eventually introduce advertising. In a blog post Tuesday, company co-founder Biz Stone said the company took its time “because we wanted to optimize for value before profit.” He said the company understood that many people have been frustrated by its “stubborn insistence on a slow and thoughtful approach to monetization.”

Restaurant owner and chef Bill Telepan shops at New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fairway market.

How to eat well on a $68.88 budget NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; How well can a family of four eat on just $68.88 a week? For more than 38 million Americans, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than a matter of conjecture. With job growth and the economy still only sputtering along, a record number of Americans have turned to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the formal name for federal food stamp program. At the end of last year, roughly 1 in 8 Americans received food stamps, the highest rate ever, according to Lisa Pino, the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy administrator. During the past two years alone, another nearly 12 million people enrolled in the program. How much a family gets per month is determined by a number of factors, but typically ranges from less than $100 to more than $500. The national average for a family of four at the end of 2009 was $275.53 a month, or about $68.88 a week. Despite growing dependence on food stamps, the popular impression is that the meals you can make with them are bleak. To find out how well you can eat on food stamps, the AP asked two chefs and a magazine food editor to plan out seven days of meals for a family of four using that budget: $68.88. â&#x20AC;˘ Bill Telepan of Telepan restaurant in New York approached the food stamp challenge with the same sustainable eating philosophy he uses at his restaurant. He favors high-quality, unprocessed ingredients (organic when possible) and plenty of fromscratch cooking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem with the way some people spend food stamps is by buying processed foods,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to buy everything fresh and cook from scratch. You are not going to do it every day. But do it two or three times a week and then make enough so you heat it up.â&#x20AC;? Processed foods may

sometimes seem less expensive, but they are harder to stretch and generally not as healthy. Telepan also looked for more seasonal foods, which generally are cheaper. But even without buying the organic, grass-fed meats he favors, Telepan still came in nearly $20 over budget. Some aggressive use of coupons, sales and bulk shopping probably could bring his total closer to the goal. When constructing his menu, Telepan began by selecting the protein and building out from there. This ensured the meals were satisfying. He also assembled his meal plan backward, starting with each dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dinner, then sorting out how to use the leftovers in other meals. For example, the leftovers from Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roasted chicken dinner became a salad for lunch on Tuesday. And ziti that was served with broccoli, toasted garlic and shell beans on Wednesday got a makeover with meatballs two nights later. Of course, cooking from scratch is more work, which many busy families will find daunting. Telepan advocates involving the whole family in the cooking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People look at cooking as a chore,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the end, if people all help out it makes it fun.â&#x20AC;? Telepanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menu came to $87.76, nearly $20 over budget. The biggest chunk of that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; $31.01 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was spent on produce, with another $22.48 on dry goods such as bread, pasta, rice, beans and oatmeal. Meat â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two whole chickens and 2 pounds of ground beef â&#x20AC;&#x201D; accounted for another $18.62. A savvy shopper could use coupons, sales and bulk purchases to get his menu closer to budget. â&#x20AC;˘ Anna Last, editor of Everyday Food magazine, focused on stretching her ingredients as far as possible and budgeting her time as much as her cash. When planning out the week, she was care-

ful not to schedule too many time-consuming recipes in a row. When she planned chili garlic chicken legs one night, she followed it with an easier rice and beans the next. Like Telepan, she avoided processed foods. Not only are whole foods often more nutritious, they usually are easier to stretch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cooking on a budget and actually cooking means cooking without using packaged foods,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Packaged food can often be not as nutritious for you. You are also paying for the convenience sometimes. Pasta sauce is a convenience. Cooking it yourself, you know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in it. There is less sodium. There is less fat. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s those sorts of things that you have to think of as well.â&#x20AC;? How she shopped also was part of her plan for staying on budget. If possible, she says donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shop when hungry or with your children, both of which can prompt unplanned purchases. And always use a list; it makes shopping faster because you only look for what you need. When selecting foods, Last started with foods she liked, as well as basic staples. She also made sure to buy foods with multiple uses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as flour, oil and spices. But she splurged where she could, as with buttermilk and andoiuille sausage. She simply bought those items in smaller amounts or made sure she had uses for leftovers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Throw out nothing,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want a special ingredient, figure out what else to do with it.â&#x20AC;? Last spent a total of $68.49, giving her 39 cents to spare. Nearly $22 of that was spent on about 14 pounds of meat, mostly chicken, ground beef and a bit of bacon. About another $22 was spent on produce, with the remaining money split between dry goods and dairy, including milk, eggs and cheese.

Bouncing back isn’t just about you BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

The times demand resilience. You continually confront unexpected obstacles. The recession foils your plans to negotiate a raise, promotion or new job. Your boss keeps reordering priorities, which changes the rules. You don’t have to bounce back just once, but over and over. “Knowing how to be resilient is the bottom line,” says psychologist, executive coach and leadership educator Sylvia Lafair, president of Creative Energy Options Inc., in White Haven, Pa. The book “How To Hit a Curveball: Confront and Overcome the Unexpected in Business,” by Scott Singer with Mark Levine, uses baseball’s nine innings to explain how to develop resilience. Singer maintains that “curve balls are typically the defining moments in the most successful lives ... (Your goal is) to hit those curve balls out of the park...”

RELATEDNESS Resilience isn’t nurtured in isolation, but relatedness. The career of Tammy Brackett, owner of Moonstruck Promotions & Media in Richmond, Va.,

SPECIAL | WORKWISE FEATURES

Tammy Brackett, with sidekick Mr. Kronk, takes a break from Moonstruck Promotions & Media to gaze at nature, a technique she uses to gain perspective. She’s based in Richmond, Va. is a case in point. Brackett spent the early part performing as a singer/ songwriter, guitarist and keyboardist. Knowing full well this facet of her career would end, she prepared to recover and rebuild once it was over. She learned everything she could about her industry, publishing, copy writing and, finally, social media, “the way people were connecting,” she says. “It was a constant learning process.” In other words, she prepared for the inevitable break with what she’d been doing. Brackett established

continuity through her desire “to be of help to people in any capacity. That is always my main mission. Through that, I’ve established an incredible network of people. A lot of times they ask for advice. If I make helping them my main mission, it’s odd how many of them will come back with a project to collaborate on.” This enabled her to reposition herself in her career in her highly competitive industry. Subsequently, she broadened her work to other industries, including education and green.

Andrew Appel, creative director of Beyond Success Consulting L.L.C., in Woodbridge, N.J., is also other-focused. He promotes a blend of spirituality and materiality to people discouraged by current events. He encourages people to “find a way to give to others rather than look for what you can get in all of your dealings and interactions. Try to give in an unconditional way over a period of time and then see what financial results your unconditional attention creates.” He predicts “a shift.”

Lafair would agree with the call to get outside of yourself and do something for others. She observed Katrina survivors and other people combat their very different obstacles by reinventing themselves. Lafair advocates “having people in your life so they can help you make adjustments as you act. Being resilient isn’t being a superhero.”

emerges,” Appel says. “If you can’t gain control of it, you can’t be as effective.” Brackett concurs. “You really have to define what success is to you,” she explains. “If you can, your focus will always be on track. For me, it’s not having the most. It’s needing the least. I don’t need a fancy car or fancy office. I encourage people to write a success document, which begins with identifying what success means to them.” Lawrence Polsky, managing partner of PeopleNRG Inc., in Princeton, N.J., faced death, battled homelessness and encountered challenges in the workplace.

he jockeying to replace Riley Skinner as Wake Forest’s starting quarterback is far from over. Partially by default because Ted Stachitas and Brendan Cross were injured, Skylar Jones moved into the No. 1 position on the depth chart for most of spring practice, which ended Saturday with a 75-minute scrimmage before a crowd of about 5,000 at BB&T Field. Stachitas, sidelined for most of the spring by a bad hamstring, and Cross – knocked out of early practices by a concussion – got plenty of playing time along with Jones as the offense scored 23 points. Running frequently out of an option attack and passing in moderation, all three quarterbacks showed that the Demon SPORTS Deacon offense will be much different than the all-out air game Greer attack coach Jim Grobe opted Smith for while taking advantage of ■■■ Skinner’s ability. Skinner has exhausted his eligibility. Stachitas and Jones each ran seven times, while Cross ran nine. Cross, who was rated as the top prospect going into the spring, had the best passing day, going 9-for-12 for 73 yards. Jones was 4-of-5 for 38, most of them on a 33-yarder that was the longest by the three. Stachitas was just 4-of-7 for 8 yards, but did catch a 33-yard pass from receiver Marshall Williams. Patrick Thompson and Turner Faulk also saw action at QB. “Sky has a leg up, just from durability. He went every day (this spring) and didn’t miss anything,” Grobe said. “But you could see that Brendan and Ted both have ability, they did some things pretty well. We’ve got talent at quarterback and the guy who takes the first snap against Presbyterian (in the season opener) will be the most durable guy and also the guy who develops the most consistency.” Even though Jones was the leader at this point, the battle will resume in preseason practice. “We’ll go two weeks into August and compete really hard to make sure Sky is still the guy,” Grobe said. “But I was impressed today with things that Brendan and Ted did. We’ve got three guys really battling right now.” He did not eliminate the possibility of incoming freshman Tanner Price having a shot. “We don’t want to create ideas that we want a freshman to start at quarterback, but we haven’t ruled it out,” Grobe said. “Our quarterbacks understand we don’t care who plays quarterback, we want the best guys to be in there, and you’ve got to earn it every day. That’s the way we’ll treat it when Tanner gets here. If he is good enough to step in and take the job, that’s fine.” Wide receiver Devon Brown provided the biggest play of the day when he lined up at running back, took a pitch from Jones and went 65 yards for a touchdown. “I’ve wanted to play running back ever since I got there, since that’s what I did in high school,” redshirt junior Brown said. “We had a couple of backs hurt, so the coaches said they were going to give me a chance.” Willie Dixon V got the other touchdown on a 3-yard run that capped a drive directed by Thompson, who was switched from defense when Stachitas and Cross could not practice. Jimmy Newman kicked field goals of 45, 19 and 26 yards and missed an attempt from 38 yards. The quarterbacks were sacked three times and had to scramble to avoid others as the offense gave up 13 tackles for loss behind a line being rebuilt because three starters exhausted their eligibility. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

East Carolina walk-on quarterback Brad Wornick completed 18 of 33 passes for 226 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in Saturday’s spring game in Greenville.

New offense looks disjointed in Pirates’ spring game GREENVILLE (AP) – East Carolina’s players huddled with their position groups on the field to briefly review what went well and what didn’t in Saturday’s annual spring game before dispersing to mingle with fans, friends and family. Yet the quarterbacks and offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley remained huddled for another 10 minutes or so after all the other meetings had ended. And perhaps that best sums up how things went for the Pirates’ new spread offense, which had a shaky debut for the 7,100 fans who came to DowdyFicklen Stadium. Walk-on quarterback Brad Wornick and Rio Johnson each directed a pair of touchdown drives, but the unit often looked out of sync and struggled with making the routine play much of the afternoon. Making it more frustrating, Riley said, the performance wasn’t indicative of the progress made through the rest of spring practice, during which the first-year staff has worked to install the scheme that wore out

scoreboards at Texas Tech in recent years. Wornick, who had put himself in competition for the starting job heading into training camp, completed 18 of 33 passes for 226 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Johnson, who will be a redshirt freshman, completed 18 of 27 passes for 105 yards and a score. So far, the two lead the depth chart coming out of the spring. Josh Jordan, who currently stands at No. 3 on the depth chart, completed just 4 of 11 passes for 23 yards. He also threw an interception that was nearly returned for a touchdown by a defense running a new and more aggressive scheme. The Pirates are expected to add former Boston College quarterback Dominique Davis in the summer, giving them another option in the race for the starting job come August – though Riley admitted anyone who comes into training camp would be “behind the 8-ball a little bit.” Andrew Bodenheimer had two touchdown catches to lead the receivers.

Spring spotlight shines on Wolfpack’s Glennon RALEIGH (AP) – Mike Glennon wasn’t part of the winning team at Saturday’s North Carolina State spring game, but he still had a positive feeling. Based on what the quarterback saw in the passing game, no one could blame him. Big plays were plentiful through the air, and Jay Smith made four catches for 96 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Red team past the White Squad 31-21. “We have receivers who can go up and get the ball and we have receivers who can run right by you,” Glennon said. “I think today we saw both of those things. We just have playmakers out there on the perimeter.” T.J. Graham threw a 49-yard touchdown pass on a trick play and made the game-sealing touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter for the Red team, which featured State’s first-team defense and second-team offense. Glennon threw for 423 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions to lead the White team. Starting quarterback Russell Wilson skipped spring practice to focus on

Glennon

baseball, giving Glennon the opportunity to work with N.C. State’s first-team offense. “It was about getting comfortable with the first-string guys and them getting comfortable with me and just proving that I can be the guy,” said Glennon, who completed 21 of

38 passes. Wilson will be N.C. State’s starter entering the fall, but Glennon showed a strong arm in front of a crowd of more than 25,000. He was sharpest at the outset with nine completions in his first 10 passes, including a 27-yard strike down the seam to tight end George Bryan. Glennon later helped the White team rally from a 21-7 deficit, connecting with Owen Spencer on a 93-yard touchdown pass to tie the game in the third quarter. The big plays weren’t all good news, of course, because N.C. State’s defenders were the ones allowing them.

is the season for sneezin’ and the time to cough ‘til you drop. I share these words because, if you’re like me, allergies have knocked you for several loops recently. This past week was especially rough for me and I want to take this opportunity to apologize to any coach or scorekeeper who called in a game result and was subjected to the attack of the coughing, sneezing monster.

I didn’t mean to be rude. The pollen had full control. The toughest part for me was the stuffy head and clogged ears. I can’t tell you how many times the words people said did not match the words I heard. Most of the time, everything sounded like the teacher on the classic “Charlie Brown” TV specials. “Waaaaa, waaaaa, waaaaaa, waaaaaaaa, waaaaaa, waaaaaaaaa.”

I don’t think I’ve ever been more anxious for winter to put all of the pollen on ice. Since that’s several months away, I’ll settle for a good rain and a refreshing blast of cool air to alleviate the conditions. Thanks for bearing with me and hopefully we’ll all leave the allergy season in the dust real soon.

Will Rams go for Bradford or take Suh? BY BARRY WILNER AP FOOTBALL WRITER

NEW YORK – As the NFL draft enters prime time, it gives football writers a big, new stage for showing we’re almost as good as weather forecasters when it comes to making predictions. With that in mind, here’s one way the proceedings might go on Thursday night at Radio City Music Hall. Remember that trades – and there almost certainly will be several because of the high quality of this draft – figure to impact who picks when and who goes where. 1. ST. LOUIS. The St. Louis Rams aren’t likely to move out of the top overall spot. The Rams’ dilemma is whether to choose quarterback Sam Bradford to be the face of a franchise that soon will change ownership, or go for the player considered the best available defensive tackle in more than a decade, Ndamukong Suh. Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo is a defense-first guy; he coordinated the New York Giants unit that shocked New England to win the 2007 championship. He also recognizes St. Louis has a black hole at quarterback and scored 175 points last season, his first in charge. Having cut incumbent Marc Bulger, the Rams would appear set to grab Bradford, the 2008 Heisman Trophy winner who missed most of last season with a right shoulder injury that required surgery. Bradford’s recent workouts have pleased NFL personnel people – he displayed a strong, accurate arm on all sorts of throws. Then again, Suh could be a one-man wrecking crew on the defensive line, and his performance in the biggest college game of his life was phenomenal: 12 tackles, 41⁄2 sacks and two quarterback hurries in the Big 12 championship game against Texas. “It’s like a beauty contest, you can’t go wrong,” Rams general manager Billy Devaney said. “One is more beautiful than the other.” Owners, particularly new owners, fall in love with quarterbacks more quickly. SAM BRADFORD, QB, Oklahoma. 2. DETROIT. The Lions usually mess up their high picks, but NDAMUKONG SUH, DT, Nebraska, is much more of a sure thing. His diligence and leadership will be something fresh in Detroit. 3. TAMPA BAY. Few teams need as much help on the defensive line as the Buccaneers. They won’t feel so bad about going 3-13 last season after they take GERALD MCCOY, DT, Oklahoma, who could anchor the line for years. 4. WASHINGTON. In the past, the Redskins would have been offering this pick all over the NFL after signing big-name veterans in free agency. The

new regime led by Mike Shanahan and Bruce Allen is taking a different approach, and Shanahan knows from his Denver days the importance of a solid blocking unit. New QB Donovan McNabb will be smiling even wider than usual after the Skins grab TRENT WILLIAMS, OT, Oklahoma. 5. KANSAS CITY. The Chiefs have done well recently drafting an offensive linemen (Branden Albert), but need another to make QB Matt Cassell and RBs Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles more effective. They skip safety, another need, to select RUSSELL OKUNG, OT, Oklahoma State.

6. SEATTLE. It won’t take long for the Seahawks to choose ERIC BERRY, S, Tennessee, probably the best all-around athlete in the draft. New coach Pete Carroll recruited playmakers at Southern Cal, and he gets a big-time one here. 7. CLEVELAND. The Browns were hoping Berry would fall to them because he would fit a major need. Then again, new president Mike Holmgren has so many holes to fill he can virtually close his eyes and point to a position and get help. Keeping his eyes wide open, Holmgren goes for some excitement with C.J. SPILLER, RB, Clemson.

8. OAKLAND. Is Al Davis ready to give up on JaMarcus Russell and take a quarterback here? Or will he stick with the top overall pick of 2007 and look elsewhere? The Raiders have lots of places to look, and while Davis prefers skill-position guys, he won’t pass up workout wonder BRUCE CAMPBELL, OT, Maryland. 9. BUFFALO. The previous coaching regime soured on Trent Edwards, but is there a QB worth the ninth overall spot? Possibly, but a wiser choice would be someone who can have an early impact, which is why DERRICK MORGAN, DE, Georgia Tech winds up in western New York.

Colorado’s Ubaldo Jimenez tossed the first no-hitter in Rockies history, stopping Atlanta 4-0 on Saturday.

Rockies’ Jimenez no-hits Braves ATLANTA (AP) – Ubaldo Jimenez pitched the first no-hitter in the Colorado Rockies’ 18-year history, dominating the Atlanta Braves in a 4-0 victory Saturday night. Jimenez (3-0) walked six – all in the first five innings. He was helped by Dexter Fowler’s diving catch on Troy Glaus’ drive to left-center field in the seventh. Jimenez was at his best in the final innings, reaching the high 90s with his fastball through the final batter. In the ninth, Martin Prado popped out to second baseman Clint Barmes,

Chipper Jones hit a fly ball to left field and Brian McCann grounded out to Barmes on Jimenez’s 128th pitch to end the game. Jimenez thrust his arms in the air and was swarmed by teammates as he celebrated. The 26-year-old righthander struck out seven and had an RBI single in the fourth inning. It’s baseball’s first nohitter since Mark Buehrle’s perfect game last season. Buehrle faced the minimum 27 batters for the White Sox in a 5-0 no-hit victory over Tampa Bay on July 10, 2009.

Panthers hang on for 13-12 win ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – A wild night at Williard Stadium saw High Point University hang on for a 13-12 win over Big South Conference rival Radford. Saturday’s game saw the Panthers score six runs in the first before Radford crossed the plate an amazing nine times in the second. A five-run third inning put HPU back up 11-9, and it was 13-12 after the sixth before both bullpens settled in. High Point starter Al Yevoli allowed eight runs – all earned – in getting just the first four outs. Kyle Starnes got the Panthers out of troubles in the seventh inning and also pitched

through the eighth, and former Wesleyan Christian Academy standout Mikel Rodenberg pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for the save. The Panthers battered Radford starter Eddie Butler for 11 runs – eight earned – on 10 hits in two-plus innings. Leadoff man Pablo Rosario went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs scored and Max Fulginiti was 3for-4 with an RBI. Mike Mercurio, Matt Gantner and Steve Antolik each drove in two runs, while Drew Geissinger, Murray White IV, Nate Roberts and Antolik all scored twice. HPU improved to 18-19 overall and 5-9 in the Big South entering today’s series finale against the Highlanders at 1 p.m.

es at Texas in 2008 and again in 2009. The race was rescheduled for tonight after the Sprint Cup race earlier in the day. Weather still could be an issue today, when there is a good chance of more rain.

Changes make NASCAR finishes less predictable FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – Double-file restarts and the chance for multiple attempts at green-whitecheckered finishes are certainly changing the end of NASCAR races and late-race strategy. Or is it even strategy anymore? “It’s a crapshoot,” Kyle Busch said. Going into today’s race at Texas Motor Speedway, four of the seven Cup races this season have already gone to NASCAR’s version of overtime with extra laps. Two of those included multiple restarts after the scheduled final lap. “It has really made finishes less predictable,” four-time defending Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson said. “I don’t know if there really even is a strategy now. It’s more what the masses do.” The problem this weekend could be getting the race started with rain in the forecast for today. Cup practice was canceled because of rain Saturday, a day after Tony Stewart earned his first pole in five

years for what will be his 400th career start. When Busch pulled onto pit road last weekend at Phoenix International Raceway during another late caution, the only thing that could thwart his dominating run, he got four tires. So did Johnson, with crew chief Chad Knaus figuring the odds were good that there would be more than one try for a greenwhite-checkered finish. “It’s definitely a gamble, for sure. We knew who we were racing. We were racing the 48 car,” said Busch, whose two-second lead over Johnson with three laps left was wiped out by the caution. Except six cars that took only two tires beat Johnson and Busch out of the pits, then only one restart was needed. Johnson moved up to third in that final two-lap shootout while Busch remained eighth. “Luckily, it was only a greenwhite-checkered and not four to go,” said Ryan Newman, who snapped a 77-race winning streak by leading

the last two laps. “I’m pretty sure that we wouldn’t have made it to the checkered if it was (more than one restart).” Had there been another caution, there could have been up to two more green-white-checkered attempts since NASCAR before this season increased the number of possible retries to three. That would have put Johnson and Busch back into contention for a victory. If Busch and Johnson had come out of the pits still in front, the No. 18 Toyota and No. 48 Chevrolet would have restarted side-by-side with the double-file system implemented midway through last season. Jeff Gordon has gone 36 races – the equivalent of a full season – since his last victory at Texas a year ago that ended a 47-race winless streak. It was his only win in 18 starts at Texas, where he has the only two last-place finishes of his 588 career starts. Homestead is the only active track where he hasn’t won.

The Panthers got the bulk of their scoring in the middle- and long-distance events, going 1-2-4 in the 10,000, 2-3-4 in the 5,000 and 2-3-6 in the 1,500. Cherry won the 10,000 in 30:13.20 on Thursday evening and cruised to a runnerup finish in the 5,000 on Saturday.

Southwest softball thinks pink for fundraiser J

on Chambers grimaced as he shook his head. “I hate pink,” the Southwest Guilford softball coach said. “I don’t like it at all. But I’m gonna wear it that night.” Big news indeed for the Cowgirls. “That makes it even more fun!” senior pitcher Jessica Becher exclaimed. Southwest and Rockingham County will trade in their traditional game gear for pink and black jerseys twice this season in special benefits. This Thursday, Southwest plays host to the first “Swing for a Cure” game to benefit breast cancer research, while Rockingham is slated to host the return visit Wednesday, May 5. The Cowgirls will wear pink jerseys with black lettering, while the Cougars of the Mid-State 3A Conference will wear black jerseys with pink lettering. “It’ll be a black and pink day,” said Chambers, sounding resigned to his fate. Granted, the coaches are more than happy to support the cause. Rockingham coach Scott Isley just watched a close family member endure a breast cancer fight, while Chambers lost an aunt to the disease and has a grandmother who is a breast cancer survivor. The two coaches got together to think about how their softball teams could help, inspired by a similar event two years ago. Southwest volleyball player

LeAnne Hoyle organized a “Dig for a Cure” event at a match for her senior project and enjoyed a successful night with some $2,000 raised. Special events have become commonplace for high school and college volleyball and basketball teams – think High Point University women’s coach Tooey Loy leading his team in pink Crocs last SPORTS year, or all the PinkZone games that sprang up throughout North Carolina Steve especially following the death of N.C. Hanf State’s Kay Yow. ■■■ But most of the events during warmweather months are walks for the various fund-raising organizations. A few other “Swing for a Cure” events scattered across the country are golf tournaments. “As far as I know this will be the first for softball in this area,” Chambers said. “It just seems like the right thing to do.” Chambers said the event was fairly easy to organize. He checked with athletic director Brindon Christman about taking a portion of the gate revenue for the fundraiser, while a portion of concession sales also may be pulled from the booster club to benefit either the Susan G. Komen Foundation or American Cancer Society. Tickets for this JV/varsity doubleheader, which be-

gins at 5 p.m., will cost $6 so at least $1 and maybe $2 can be donated, Chambers said. While Hoyle searched for a number of sponsors to provide extra items such as T-shirts, the coaches were unable to land sponsorships this time around with anyone but Cornerstone Health Care’s High Point OB/GYN Associates. Still, this “Swing for a Cure” is just the start of something special that can grow in the future. After all, both teams will have those special pink jerseys to reuse again and again. “We can keep this going,” Chambers offered. “The girls loved it. To take an interest in it and do something about it, most definitely. They’re all for it.” Becher, the Cowgirls’ senior pitcher, said she had considered doing a senior project similar to Hoyle’s after watching her friend pull off such a successful event. Becher’s Leadership class takes part in a number of fundraising walks, and Southwest’s softball team likely will join forces in an upcoming breast cancer walk at the school. For Becher, the affects of the disease hit close to home recently when her mom lost a close friend to breast cancer. “Any little bit we can do to help is always good,” Becher said. “The whole idea of it is really good. It’s exciting that we can do something.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Catching fish is about being ready F

ishing is about handling the situation you have. If you can’t adapt, you’ll occasionally catch fish when the conditions match your methods, but most of the time, you’ll be short a seafood dinner. One of the reasons successful fishermen spend so much money is to have what they need to match the conditions. Cherie makes fun of me because I carry at least four rods on the boat every time I go somewhere and that’s just for me. I just stepped outside my office and looked at the rod rack. I have 37 fishing rods. OK, so I’m not hurting anyone but myself and I can stop anytime I want. Having the right fishing rod on the rack is not enough; you have to have it with you. You also need the appropriate tackle to match unexpected conditions. This week, being prepared paid off. My son in law, Jeremy Yoemans, and I decided to head to the Roanoke this week for some shad. I love catching Hickory Shad and the water level had just been lowered and I thought conditions would be right. I put four rods on his boat. Two ultra light spinning rods and a fly rod for shad and a light casting rod for “just in case.” The night before, I’d advised Jeremy to carry a rod capable of fishing for stripers, too. When we got to the river, we worked the places I thought the shad should be ... not a strike. We fished for shad for about an hour and a half with nothing hitting and only seeing the locals fishing for stripers. As we worked one of my favorite spots, I saw a guy catch a striper and then another while he drifted past. We switched over to jigs, grubs, and Berkley Gulp, I’d put in the boat, “just in case.” We jigged for about an hour with only one hit. We decided to re-equip again and took the boat out at the ramp for a

short run to get live bait. The bait shop had no shad but they did have large bass minnows. We retied the heavier rods with bullet weights and hooks and within 100 yards of beginning a drift, bingo. SPORTS Jeremy had a striper. It‘s times like these when I Dick wish Cherie was on the Jones boat so I could launch ■■■ into a long diatribe about the merits of having lots of rods and tackle on the boat. Boys and girls, the striper season has arrived on the Roanoke and the fish are there. With two more weeks of keeper season, the fishing will be hot and heavy and even better once the catch and release part of the season starts. We had 25 stripers in about four hours and I’m hoping the bite will pick up even more. Speaking of preparation, Here are some hints to make your trip more successful: Launch early The Roanoke River boat ramp at Weldon has been revamped this year. There are now three launch lanes and the parking lot is now paved. Three ramps will help reduce waiting times for launch but getting there early will still pay off in spades. Not just that but the fishing early is better than the fishing late. Normally, there’s a lull in the bite about two or three in the afternoon and the late afternoon bite rarely is as good as early morning. Bring the right stuff Being prepared is everything. Remember this is single barbless hook fishing only so if you want to use top-waters or other plugs, they must be converted to a single barbless hook. Grubs and jigs normally work better than diving plugs so have

FRIED STRIPER FILETS

a selection of colors. The water level at Weldon is subject to huge changes during the course of the season so different weights of jig heads from ¼ ounce to ½ ounce. For live bait fishing, try ¼ to 3⁄8 ounce bullet weights and a #2 or larger hook. Bigger hooks are better as they’re less likely to deep hook fish. If you use bait, get the right stuff We used bass minnows this week and we caught fish. If you can catch shad and keep them alive, it’s worth the extra work. If not, buy them, they’re worth the extra money. At Roanoke River Outfitters right next to the river, bass minnows are $7 per dozen. As of Saturday, you can buy threadfin shad from Adam Brooks right on the river. Adam sets up his bait boat on the left side just down river from the boat ramp. He’ll be selling live shad for $9 per dozen. I’ll bet you a can of Beenie Weenies you’ll catch more fish per dollar on shad. Just don’t buy too many at a time, though, they’re much harder to keep alive than minnows. Shad are much better bait for stripers because they’re flashy and a natural food source. While Jeremy and I were fishing this week, an angler near us was out-fishing us four to one using shad

for bait. If you don’t understand the difference, look at a threadfin shad and a bass minnow of the same size next to each other. The shad is sparkly and attractive and the minnow is dull. The difference is like the difference between Susan Boyle and Sandra Bullock. A dead shad will out-fish a live bass minnow every time on striper. If you can get really big shad, bring them. I’ll fish a nine-inch shad if I have one. That’s where the big fish come from. It’s rare to catch an eight-pound striper on a small bait and hard to catch a small one on a big bait. Be prepared You never know when you’ll get a bruiser. Fishing tackle larger than bass tackle on the Roanoke is overkill. The average fish is a schoolie striper that weighs about two or three pounds. Fishing heavier gear will just sap the fun and wear you out. On the other hand, make sure your spool is full of good line. Last year, Dan Yates was fishing with me and hooked a 16 pound fish on an ultra-light spooled with ten pound Fireline Fused braid. He boated the fish, but if he’d been fishing with tired line, he would have never known what the fish looked like, much less got a picture.

Magic-Bobcats offer friendly, fiery playoff twist ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Matt Barnes sent the playful, trash-talking text messages and voice mails for a week until finally getting a call back from Stephen Jackson. The two shared a laugh, caught up and made plans to hang out in Orlando until this evening. Then their friendship will be put on hold. “We know once that game starts,” Jackson said, “we’re going to play like we don’t know each other.” The two best friends and former teammates give the first-round playoff matchup between Orlando and Charlotte a friendly-fiery subplot. Barnes, the Magic’s feisty forward, makes a living using his pushy play to irritate opponents. Jackson, the Bobcats’ leading scorer and often emotional swing-

man, also loves to be the bully. So with the best-of-seven series pitting them against each other, there’s sure to be a clash with two of the NBA’s most physical forwards and stingiest defensive teams. “I’m sure it’s going to get heated out there between us,” Barnes said. “We’re both competitors, pretty much the same mentality, same kind of people. We both go out there and play as hard as we possibly can, and we have our team’s back. If that’s a bad thing, I don’t want to be good.” There’s also a parallel between their friendship and this series. The two were playing for Golden State in 2007 when the eighth-seeded Warriors upset the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks. With the seventh-seeded Bobcats in the playoffs for the first time in

franchise history against the defending Eastern Conference champions, Jackson is looking to help Charlotte channel those memories. Barnes wants to avoid them. “The confidence level and the feeling that we’re being overlooked is there,” Jackson said. “So there are lot of things similar to that.” That might be where the similarities end. Orlando has won 11 of its last 13 games against Charlotte, using Dwight Howard in the paint to punish the undersized Bobcats. The All-Star center has been a matchup nightmare for Charlotte, the main reason the Magic kept opposing shooters to an NBA-low 43.8 percent and freed up their offense to set a single-season record with 841 3-pointers made.

LeBron, Shaq lead Cavs over Bulls THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND – LeBron James and Shaquille O’Neal have only one goal, and they moved one step closer to their objective on Saturday. Cleveland’s superstars, separated for a large chunk of the regular season, combined for 36 points and seven blocks as the Cavaliers opened the Eastern Conference playoffs with a 96-83 win over the Chicago Bulls. James had 24 points and four blocks and a slimmed-down O’Neal, playing for the first time since Feb.

25, scored 12 in 24 minutes as the top-seeded Cavs won a testy opener between two teams that obviously don’t care for each other. Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is Monday in Cleveland. Derrick Rose had 28 points and 10 assists for Chicago, which trimmed a 22-point deficit in the third quarter down to seven in the fourth. But James converted a threepoint play with 2:29 left and Mo Williams followed with a 3-pointer to put Cleveland up 94-81. After they were eliminated in the Eastern Conference finals last May

by Orlando, the Cavaliers went out and traded for O’Neal, a four-time NBA champion and icon. O’Neal was brought in not only to combat Magic center Dwight Howard but to help James win his first title and deliver Cleveland its first championship in any major pro sport since 1964. The Cavs need 15 more wins to get it. Williams added 19 points and 10 assists, and Antawn Jamison, acquired at the trading deadline, finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Cleveland blocked 12 shots – 10 in the second half.

Bruins slash Sabres, even series BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) – Michael Ryder and Zdeno Chara scored 2 minutes apart in the third period and the Boston Bruins rallied for a 5-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday that tied the first-round playoff series at 1. The Sabres not only squandered a lead entering the third period for the first time this season but also lost leading scorer Thomas Vanek, who didn’t return after he hurt his left foot in the first period.

Chara and Ryder both scored twice for the Bruins, who erased deficits of 2-0 and 3-2. Chara broke a 3-3 tie by snapping in a shot from the left point that floated over the right shoulder of Ryan Miller, who was screened by David Krejci with 12:37 left. Jason Pominville, Matt Ellis and rookie defenseman Tyler Myers scored for Buffalo. Game 3 is Monday night in Boston.

Mark Recchi sealed the victory by scoring into an open net as the Bruins ended a seven-game playoff losing streak at Buffalo. The drought spanned four series, dating to a 5-4 overtime win in the first round in 1992. The Sabres regained momentum with 3:19 left in the second period when Tyler Ennis set up Pominville in front to put Buffalo ahead 3-2. But Buffalo couldn’t hold on in the decisive final 20 minutes.

GEORGETOWN’S MONROE DECLARES FOR NBA DRAFT

---

WASHINGTON (AP) – Georgetown center Greg Monroe is heading to the NBA, planning to hire an agent and skip his last two seasons of college eligibility. “It was mentally what I wanted to do,” Monroe said in a statement released by the school Saturday. “I feel like I’m ready to make this step after working with our coaches for two years.” The 6-foot-11 Monroe was a third-team AP AllAmerican as a sophomore after averaging 16.1 points, 9.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.5 blocks this season. He was the Big East Conference rookie of the year in 2008-09 after averaging 12.7 points and 6.5 rebounds as a freshman. During his two seasons with the Hoyas, Monroe averaged 14.5 points and 8.2 rebounds.

Furyk emerges from shootout THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – Jim Furyk withstood a crazy Saturday shootout that could lead to an even wilder final round at the Verizon Heritage. Furyk shot a 67 for an 11-under 202, good for a one-stroke lead over Brian Davis (66). Another stroke back were two-time Verizon champ Boo Weekley (68), Stephen Ames (65), Briny Baird (66), Ricky Barnes (66), Luke Donald (67), Woody Austin (67) and Heath Slocum (67). Right behind them at Harbour Golf Links was a group that included Camilo Villegas (67) and 2006 winner Aaron Baddeley. In all, 23 players were within five strokes of the top. “Tomorrow, it’s go out and shoot as low as you can and not take your foot off the gas pedal,” said Davis, who’s never

finished higher than second on the PGA Tour. Furyk, at No. 6 in the world, is the highestranked player here following Masters’ week. Not that Furyk was all that worn out since he missed the cut at Augusta National. At 2:45 p.m., 10 players were tied for first, all on a course where Brian Gay set tournament records in 2009 with a 10shot victory and 20-under-par score.

LANGER SHOWS WAY LUTZ, Fla. – Bernhard Langer shot a 5-under 66 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead over Mark O’Meara and Mike Reid in the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am. Langer, the German star who won the Allianz Championship in February in Boca Raton for his ninth Champions Tour title, had a 9-under 133 total at TPC Tampa Bay. O’Meara shot a 69, and Reid had a 68.

The chameleon, Oggetti’s top-selling member of the Garden Collection, is some 4 feet long, stands 55 inches tall and retails for about $4,000.

A glass act Oggetti brings its artistic garden critters to market BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – Got any quirky chameleons in your garden? Any affable armadillos? How about crusty crabs or cranky crocodiles? If Robert Frehling, the president of Oggetti Inc., has his way, gardens across America will soon be crawling with his company’s collection of glass garden sculptures, which range from the aforementioned chameleons, armadillos, crabs and crocs to turtles, roosters, frogs and peacocks. Talk about a glass menagerie. Consider, for example, the most popular piece in Oggetti’s Garden Collection, the

Standing 55 inches tall and about 4 feet long, this colorful critter is an eye-catcher from a distance, but even at close range – where the craftsmanship of the piece is evident – it’s even more intriguing. “The chameleon’s head is made almost entirely of glass, but it has an iron tongue,” Frehling says. “The body is also iron, but with glass knobs all over it to give the skin some texture.” Oggetti debuted its Garden Collection at the High Point Market last fall, and the Miami-based company has returned with the collection to the current market. According to Frehling, the collection features about 50 unique pieces, most of which come in a choice of three to six colors. (The chameleon, however, comes only in neon green.) Many of the pieces feature lighting elements, as well (though, again, not the chameleon). “The crocodile lights up, the armadillo does, a big bird we call Gonzo lights up, and there’s a big frog 24 inches in diameter that lights up,” he says. “We have a lot of fun

The iron-and-glass crocodile is one of several animals that lights up. pieces you can put in your garden that light up.” While the pieces in Oggetti’s Garden Collection are high-end – the chameleon retails for about $4,000, according to Frehling – there’s no denying their artistic value. The pieces are designed and crafted by brothers Pawel and Stanislow Jan Borowski at their family business, Glasstudio Borowski, in Poland. They learned the craft from their father, Stanislav, a master glassblower whose work is internationally

acclaimed. According to Oggetti’s Web site, the brothers’ work – which incorporates glassblowing, sandblasting and engraving – can also be found in select galleries and major private collections. In addition to the Garden Collection, Oggetti distributes two other divisions of the Borowskis’ work – the Artist Editions, which are available only to galleries, and the Studio Line, which features production pieces for home decor. The Garden Collection, though, is the newest Borowski line, and Frehling says the line has been very popular. “It’s just been off the charts,” he says. “The bigger pieces are selling like crazy.” He cites a sort of magic bond that draws customers to the pieces in the Garden Collection. “Most of the pieces have faces, and the people think they’re looking at them or talking to them,” Frehling says. “There’s a lot of personal contact and interaction between the buyer and the piece.” While the pieces have been sold almost exclusively for residential use, Frehling sees greater potential. “I think it is so right for restaurants or a hotel courtyard or something like that,” he says. “There are lots of commercial spaces where this could be fantastic.”

ADVICE Dear Abby â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

Dear Jo: You and your husband are fortunate to have found each other, and you have obviously worked out a formula for a lasting and meaningful marriage. You should bottle it!

Sunday, April 18, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Melissa Joan Hart, 34; Maria Bello, 43; Conan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, 47; James Woods, 63 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You are a visionary who must take advantage of the opportunities present this year. Your experience, wisdom and ability to push the rules to the limit will allow you to make headway that others cannot pull off. Your savvy, understated way of approaching others will ensure you reach your goal. Your numbers are 5, 12, 21, 23, 38, 44, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Think before you act. Impulsive actions can be costly emotionally and financially. Give more thought to what you really want and you will avoid being taken in by a fasttalker selling something you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need. Challenges will be inviting and can help lower your stress. â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026; TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Situations can easily get blown out of proportion if you are too intent on adding your thoughts and suggestions. Be honest but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meddle. You will get blamed if you get too involved in other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems. â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026; GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can offer your opinion but getting involved in a cause that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t legitimate to please someone is not the route to take. Focus on your own emotional problems and you will avoid being taken advantage of and will feel better at the end of the day. â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026; CANCER (June 21-July 22): Not everyone is on your side or in agreement with your choices or the way you think. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be too eager to share your thoughts or you will have to accept the changes that result from the decisions you make. â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026; LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You will face controversy and power plays if you try to force your ideas, plans and thoughts on others. Focus on home, family and self- improvements. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let an unexpected change alter your plans. â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026; VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Organize your day and focus on ways to improve your life and your friendships. A short trip will lead to an exciting experience. An emotional issue surrounding money will give you a view of someone you are close to. â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026; LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Communication will be your key to advancement, favors and taking on a new direction. Once you share your creative thoughts, you are sure to receive interest in your plans. The questions asked will help you hone your presentation and will bring about a partnership. â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026; SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A property, investment or money venture will stimulate your creative output. Personal relationships will contribute to your outlook and help you update your physical and mental appeal. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let an emotional matter involving paperwork stifle your plans. â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026; SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Weigh the situation you face and back away if there is no way you can benefit from whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening. You will have to live up to commitments you have already made. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fight an unexpected personal change. â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026; CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give in to anyone trying to make you pay for something you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want. A stern but gentle no, along with an alternative plan, will suffice. Love is on the rise and a chance to enhance your personal life and partnership is looking very good. â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026; AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The more you do with family and close friends, the better you will feel about the personal decisions you are making. A good budget and financial strategy will help you acquire the things you want in your life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; emotionally, physically and personally. â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026;â&#x2DC;&#x2026; PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Avoid overreacting or indulging in situations that are melodramatic.

I have another agent in mind who specializes in homes in my area, who can recommend neighborhoods and show me as many houses as needed. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to disappoint my stepmother if I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hire her daughter. What should I do? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In A Bind in Tennessee Dear In A Bind: Hire the real estate agent you have in mind. And if your stepmother brings up the subject, tell her that you did so because the person is more familiar with the area in which you want to live. However, do not tell her that you consider her daughter to be lazy and uncommitted because I guarantee she will take it personally. Dear Abby: My grandfather died recently, and I missed some school because I went to his funeral out of state. When people ask me where I went and I tell them, they ask if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be OK and say how sorry they are. They all act like they expect me to break down and start crying any second.

The problem is, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know my grandfather that well. He lived across the country, and the few times I got to visit him I can honestly say I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really like him â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re even allowed to say that about a grandparent. How am I supposed to tell these people that I am not broken up about him dying, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to burst into tears any time soon? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Not Crying in Iowa Dear Not Crying: It is not necessary to say that to anyone to whom you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t close. All you need to say is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for offering your sympathy. It was nice of you to do that.â&#x20AC;? Then change the subject by asking the person what he or she has been doing.

Coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s miniature beagle has problems with seizures D

ear Dr. Fox: We have a problem with our mini beagle and wonder if you can give us some advice. About two years ago, she developed epilepsy. Our vet said we would see how she did, and she went another year without an attack. Then they began to happen quite frequently, and she was put on one 32 mg phenobarbital tablet twice daily. This seemed to do the job, because she hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had an attack since. But when we took her back to the vet for other reasons, the minute we step inside she has an attack! The attendants take her in the back and, in a short time, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK again. What do you think? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; P.F.M., Virginia Beach, Va. Dear P.F.M.: Epilepsy in dogs is more prevalent than most people realize. Some older veterinarians believe it has increased in recent years, in spite of vaccinations that have reduced distemper-related epilepsy. Phenobarbital, as prescribed for your dog, is one of the most widely used drugs to help prevent seizures. In some dogs, potassium bromide or primidone works well. From your experience, you have learned that anxiety and stress can bring on a seizure. So the next time you have a veterinary appointment, double the dose of medication and give two hours before the visit. Some dogs have seizures when they are afraid or become anxious when family members are having a spat. There can be a hereditary basis to epilepsy, adverse vaccination or drug reaction, or hypersensitivity to certain foods such as wheat. In older dogs, seizures may indicate a brain tumor. You may wish to explore other ways to control you dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seizures such as a hypoallergenic diet or acupuncture; under veterinary supervision, evaluate various Chinese herbal formulas or Western herbs such as skullcap and passionflower. Giving melatonin in the evening may also help. Dear Dr. Fox: I have an 11-yearold female cat, Molly. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s active, bats her toys, likes to chase a feath-

er on a string tied to a stick, â&#x20AC;&#x153;stalksâ&#x20AC;? birds outside the window, and plays with the other, younger cat. She has a hearty appetite, maintains her coat, ANIMAL has regular bowel movements, and has DOCTOR constant access to fresh water. Dr. Michael The problem is Fox that in the past six â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; months, she has vomited her meal in its entirety, with very little of it seemingly digested. She has been given dry Iams cat food since I first adopted her more than six years ago. She does not go outside at all and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get table scraps. When this first occurred last July, I took her to the vet. She gave her a complete checkup and found nothing wrong. She also said that since the vomiting could be a response to the unusually warm summer, I should provide extra bowls of water. The vomiting stopped for a while, and I thought it was over. But the problem has returned, and I cannot think of what is causing it. The contents of the upheavals are only dry cat food and quasiclear fluid. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see hairballs or any foreign objects. Please advise. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A.C., Washington, D.C. Dear A.C.: If Mollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood tests for kidney and liver function and other profiles check out within normal range, you should first do the elimination-diet test to rule out a food allergy or hypersensitivity. It is quite likely that she has developed a bad reaction to one or more ingredients of her extremely mixed diet (â&#x20AC;&#x153;mixedâ&#x20AC;? in terms of an unnatural diversity of ingredients). Molly should not be on a dry-foodonly diet. In my opinion, such a diet is abnormal for any carnivore and may play a leading role in the feline urologic syndrome that includes painful cystitis and often urinating all over the house; it also contributes to obesity and diabetes. Discuss the elimination- and hypoallergenic-diet approach with your veterinarian, who should

be well versed on this subject, because food allergies cause a lot of serious, chronic health problems in cats and dogs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and humans, too. Dear Dr. Fox: I have a 2-year-old Shih Tzu who has developed the habit of licking everything: walls, furniture, floors and carpet. He also walks around with his tongue halfway out of his mouth. His tongue is like this even when he is sleeping. Someone suggested he might have a vitamin deficiency. I only feed him Science Diet dog food. He once licked a wall so much it developed a hole. Any suggestions? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; C.A., Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Dear C.A.: I would never recommend feeding a dog (or cat) just one brand of commercial pet food. Most pet foods contain highly processed ingredients and human food-industry byproducts together with various chemical additives and preservatives. Humans and animals both need whole, natural foods, including some raw food such as grated sweet potato and alfalfa sprouts. Dogs do well on a diet of lightly cooked vegetables, meat or poultry, plus a bit of well-cooked grains or pasta with a little vegetable oil and a multimineral/multivitamin (one a day) supplement. Discuss this sensible alternative with your veterinarian. And give your dog a raw beef marrow or soup bone to chew on. He needs a full-blown checkup to determine if his obsessive licking has a physical or psychological basis. Dietary deficiency or discomfort from an underlying chronic gum or other infection/inflammation may be responsible. Sheer boredom, lack of exercise or anxiety may be the cause, and treatment with Prozac may be the final solution. Either way, please see about improving his diet. SEND YOUR QUESTIONS to Dr. Michael Fox, c/o The High Point Enterprise, P.O. Box 1009, High Point, NC 27261. You can visit Dr. Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Web site at www.twobitdog.com/ DrFox.The volume of mail received prohibits personal replies, but questions and comments of general interest will be discussed in future columns.

ear Abby: It saddens me when I hear women complain that men donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do their fair share around the home. When a woman says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put the toilet seat down,â&#x20AC;? I want to ask, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you put it back up for him?â&#x20AC;?

Reduced benefits may be payable at 62

What is the earliest age I can begin receiving retirement benefits? A. The earliest age you can begin receiving Social Security retirement benefits is 62. If you decide to receive benefits before your full retirement age, you will receive a reduced benefit. Keep in mind you will not be able to receive Medicare coverage until age 65, even if you decide to retire at an earlier age. For more information, go to www.socialsecurity.gov.

SOCIAL SECURITY

Q. I understand that to get Social Security disability benefits, my disability must be expected to last at least a year. So do I have to wait a year before I can apply for benefits? A. No. If you believe that your disability will last a year or longer, you should apply for disability benefits as soon as you become disabled. It can take about three to five months to process an application for disability benefits. If your application is approved, your first Social Security disability benefits will be paid for the sixth full month after the date your disability began. For example, if it is determined that your disability began on Jan. 15, your first disability benefit will be paid for the month of July. However, Social Security benefits are paid in the month following the month for which they are due, so you will receive your July benefit in August. For more information about Social Security disability benefits, refer to Disability Benefits (Publication No. 05-10029) at www.socialsecurity. gov/pubs/10029.html.

Bell’s palsy often mimics stroke D

ear Dr. Donohue: Two weeks ago, I was drinking my morning coffee and I noticed it dribbling out of the right side of my mouth. I went into the bathroom to look in the mirror and got a shock. The whole right side of my face looked funny. It didn’t have a single line, and I couldn’t close my right eye. My husband rushed me to the nearest emergency room. We thought I’d had a stroke. I didn’t. They told me I had Bell’s palsy and that not much could be done for it. Everything is the same as it was. Should I be on some kind of medicine? – R.S. Bell’s palsy makes everyone believe they have suffered a stroke. It’s a paralysis of all the facial muscles on one side of the face. In the majority of cases, the cause is a virus, and the predominant virus is the same virus that causes cold sores. No cold sores breakout with Bell’s. It is as you described. The eyelids on the affected side cannot close. The face on that side flattens out. The mouth cannot be drawn back in a smile. Food and drink leak out of the side of

the mouth. Some experience great sensitivity to sound. You should be seeing a doctor. You have to protect your eye HEALTH with drops during the day and Dr. Paul with a lubricatDonohue ing ointment at ■■■ night. Paper tape can keep the lids closed when you go to bed. In the early stages of Bell’s, many doctors prescribe a combination of an antiviral drug (acyclovir, valacyclovir) and prednisone, one of the cortisone drugs. See the family doctor or a neurologist as soon as you can. Most make a good recovery, although it can take months. Start eye protection right away. Your druggist can direct you to artificial tears and a protective eye ointment while you’re waiting to see a doctor. Other causes of Bell’s have to be considered. Lyme disease is one of them. And a somewhatrare illness – sarcoidosis – is another. Dear Dr. Donohue: My doc-

tor told me I am anemic. I’m not taking any medicine. The doctor wants more tests. Maybe I am old school, but why can’t I just take iron? I remember TV ads that promoted iron for tired blood, which was their word for anemia. – B.W. People instinctively associated anemia with iron deficiency. Anemia is a low supply of red blood cells, the blood cells that cart oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. The causes of anemia are many. The fact that they all have similar signs and symptoms is partly responsible for the assumption that there is only one cause. Breathlessness when active, tiredness, weakness and even heart failure are some of the consequences of anemia regardless of its cause. Iron deficiency is a major cause, and the deficiency often results from blood loss. Blood is the source of body iron. The blood loss is frequently hidden and frequently is from the digestive tract. That makes even iron-deficiency anemia require an investigation. The doctor can’t just write a prescription for iron tablets.

Too little vitamin B-12 induces pernicious anemia. Too little folic acid, another B vitamin, is another anemia cause. The bone marrow can suddenly stop its production of red blood cells – another reason for anemia. Or the red blood cells can have a shortened life span. Normally they live 120 days. Many conditions cause them to die prematurely, and the marrow’s production cannot keep up with a rapid decline in their numbers. Be patient. Your doctor is doing the right thing by pursuing the causes of anemia before prescribing medicines. Dear Dr. Donohue: Friends of ours had a son die at 19. The cause was a heart attack. This young man ran with a wild crowd and was into drugs. He was charged for cocaine possession. Could cocaine have been the cause of his death? – P.M. Cocaine causes artery constriction and clot formation within blood vessels. The two can bring on a heart attack. Cocaine is responsible for the death of many users.

Las Vegas picked for 2011 global travel summit LAS VEGAS (AP) – Las Vegas has been picked as next year’s site for an international tourism summit expected to attract government and industry leaders from around the world.

Q. I’ve worked very little under Social Security. What is the minimum Social Security amount payable? A. There is no minimum monthly Social Security benefit, although for administrative reasons, we will not pay a benefit of less than $1. However, to receive any amount of Social Security benefits, you must have the minimum amount of work credits. Everyone born in 1929 or later needs 40 credits to be eligible for retirement benefits. Therefore since you can earn four credits per year, you will need at least 10 years of work to become eligible for retirement benefits.

Lindsay Mican Morgan, curator of the Thorne Miniature exhibit, cleans off some of the dust in the case of a miniature room at the Art Institute of Chicago.

At Chicago museum, miniature rooms are magical BY CARYN ROUSSEAU ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

HICAGO – Thirdgrader Jillian Beckman and her grandmother Sally Beckman peered through the glass, looking at the miniature rooms at The Art Institute of Chicago before deciding that their favorite tiny pieces in the intricately crafted historic spaces were the beds. “When you look at them, they’re really realistic,” 8-year-old Jillian said, after seeing the Thorne Miniature Rooms with her family while on spring break. “Even though they’re small, it seems they’re big. Like you can walk into the rooms.” The 68 rooms showcase European, American and Asian interiors and furnishings from the 17th century through the 1930s. They were largely created and commissioned between 1933 and 1937 by Chicago socialite Narcissa Ward Thorne (although she largely went by Mrs. James Ward Thorne). The rooms, designed on a 1-inch to 1-foot scale, have titles like “English Great Room of the Late Tudor Period” and “Tennessee Entrance Hall.” The family-friendly museum exhibit attracts many visitors with children. More recently, the rooms have served as inspiration for author Marianne Malone, who used the collection as the setting for “The SixtyEight Rooms,” a young readers’ novel published in February by Random House. Malone’s story follows sixth-graders

The Sixty-Eight Rooms: Author Marianne Malone: www.mariannemalone.com/. Ruthie and Jack as they shrink so small they can explore the rooms themselves. The book draws on Malone’s childhood visits to the miniature rooms as well as visits she made with her daughters. As she researched the novel, Malone found herself visiting the rooms another dozen times, checking on details. “There’s sort of a gripping in your stomach sometimes when you see something that really moves you and I felt that way about the rooms as a kid,” Malone said. “They’re so much better than any dollhouse I’ve ever seen.” The floor in the exhibit space has a raised step, so children can climb for a glimpse into displays filled with dinner plates as big as thumbnails and sofas just inches long.

“It’s something about being dominant over something that is so charming and diminutive,” said Lindsay Mican Morgan, the exhibit’s curator. “They can imagine and enjoy the style. I feel like kids, adults too, are able to take authorship and appreciate the style more this way.” It’s not unusual to see three generations of a family visiting the rooms, said Malone, who divides her time between Urbana, Ill., and Washington. Visiting the rooms with her granddaughter made the exhibit more exciting, said Sally Beckman. “Just with their little eyes, what they see and what I see,” said Beckman, of Toledo, Ohio. Her granddaughter’s family was visiting from suburban Dallas. Although she did some of the artwork, Thorne functioned as more of a funder and director of the project, Morgan said. Thorne would seek out top-of-the-line artists to execute each part of the rooms, such as rugs, wall paintings and ceiling carvings. Thorne donated the rooms to the museum before her death in 1966. “Every little element of her life was devoted to the history of beautiful objects,” Morgan said. “It was completely her passion, her whole life.” Thorne’s vision teaches others to follow their own passions, Malone said. “She could have just kept her little passion in a more accepted or conventional scale, but she didn’t,” Malone said. “She just really went for it.”

While the rooms are filled with painstakingly chosen details, they are devoid of people. It was a deliberate choice on Thorne’s part, Morgan said, because she didn’t want to ruin the illusion and have the rooms look fake.

Anxiety about children’s future can spoil present Q

uestion: My children are still young, and they are doing fine now, but I worry a lot about the adolescent years that lie ahead. I’ve seen other parents go through some pretty terrible things when their teenagers began to rebel. How can I help my sons avoid that turmoil ten years from now?

Dr. Dobson: The apprehension that you describe is well-founded, and many parents feel something similar today. The most important suggestion I can make is for you to redouble your efforts to build good relationships with your kids while they are young. That is the key to surviving the adolescent years. If they emerge from childhood with doubts about whether you really love and care for them, anything is possible during the turbulent teens. Boundaries, restrictions and threats will be no match for adolescent anger, frustration and resentment. As author Josh McDowell said, “Rules without relationship lead to rebellion.” He is right. That’s why parents can’t afford to get preoccupied with business and other pursuits that interfere with the task of raising children. Kids are young for such a brief period. During that window of opportunity, they must be given priority. Once you’ve done what you can to lay the proper foundation, I urge you to approach your parenting duties with confidence. Anxiety about the future is risky in itself. It can make parents tentative and insecure in dealing with their youngsters. They don’t dare cross them or deny their wishes for fear of being hated in the teen years. Teenagers pick up those vibes intuitively, which often generates disrespect in return. Don’t make that mistake. You have been placed in a position of authority over your young children. Lead them with confidence and care. Question: If it is natural for a toddler to break all the rules, should he be disciplined for routine misbehavior? Dr. Dobson: Toddlers get into trouble most

frequently because of their natural desire to touch, bite, taste, smell and break FOCUS everything within ON THE their FAMILY grasp. These are Dr. James normal Dobson and ■■■ healthy reactions that should not be inhibited. When, then, should they be subjected to mild discipline? When they openly defy their parents’ very clear commands! When he runs the other way when called, purposely slams his milk glass on the floor, dashes into the street when being told to stop, screams and throws a tantrum at bedtime, or hits his friends. These behavior patterns should be discouraged. Even in these situations, however, severe punishment is unwarranted. A firm rap on the fingers or a few minutes sitting on a chair will usually convey the same message as convincingly. Spankings should be reserved for a child’s moments of greatest antagonism, usually occurring after the second, third or fourth birthdays. Without watering down anything I have written about discipline, it should also be understood that I am a firm believer in the judicious use of grace (and humor) in parent-child relationships. In a world in which children are often pushed to grow up too fast, their spirits can dry out like prunes beneath the constant gaze of critical eyes. It is refreshing to see parents temper their harshness with a measure of “unmerited favor.” Likewise, there’s nothing that buoys every member of a family quite like laughter and a lighthearted spirit in the home. DR. DOBSON is founder and Chairman Emeritus of the nonprofit organization Focus on the Family, Colorado Springs, Colo. 80995 (www.focusonthefamily. org). Questions and answers are excerpted from “Complete Marriage and Family Home Reference Guide” and “Bringing Up Boys,” both published by Tyndale House.

Disney adding interactivity to latest ship GLENDALE, Calif. (AP) — The walls and floors will come alive on Disney’s latest cruise ship. Over 20 pieces of moving artwork will line the decks of the Dream, which launches early next year, while two interactive floors will keep kids on their feet in the ship’s youth areas. The new interactive experiences were unveiled during a recent press demonstration at the headquarters of Walt Disney Imagineering, the company’s creative design team. The 22 pieces of “enchanted

art” will be showcased on LCD screens encased in glass and surrounded by a frame housing speakers and a camera that can detect when a cruiser is in front of it. For example, if a passenger is looking at a photo of Walt Disney on the beach in Rio de Janeiro, the characters from “The Three Caballeros” may zip through the landscape. “This is a great opportunity to do something special,” said principle concept designer Greg Butkus. “We’re really empowering our guests of all ages to interact

with the art on every deck of the ship in way that hasn’t quite been done before on this scale. ... We can truly say no two pieces of art will be the same.” The art, which also features images from classic Disney films, can also be transformed into Nintendo Wii-like motion-detecting minigames as part of a shipboard scavenger hunt. Barcode technology is used in the game that will employ cruisers to search the decks for a Disney villain who nabbed either pieces of artwork or puppies from “101 Dalmatians.”

Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., is seen on a large screen while speaking at a town hall meeting at the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala., on March 8. Few politicians have played to this attitude better than Shelby and his neighboring-state colleague, Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss. As the top two Republicans on the Senate Appropriations Committee, the two Southerners have built their careers sending federal money back home.

Bacon or pork? Congress faces fine line between advocacy, hypocrisy BY BEN EVANS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — It’s early on a Monday in north Alabama’s “space city,” and Sen. Richard Shelby is bashing Washington at a packed town hall meeting in the cavernous U.S. Space and Rocket Center. “We’re spending a lot of money that we don’t have,” the veteran Republican tells hundreds

‘Everybody wants to see their tax dollars come back home but they don’t want to see it going other places.’ Bubba Roby Banker of business leaders, many nodding in agreement over bacon and eggs. Lost in the moment is this irony: Shelby’s antispending message is being delivered in a government-built museum to which he frequently steers public money. The admiring crowd is made up of people whose livelihood depends on federal aerospace programs that drive the local economy.

And the main point of Shelby’s speech is to assure them he’s fighting to stop NASA budget cuts and keep the spigot in Washington flowing. The scene helps explain why Washington can’t control its spending. Lawmakers and their voters usually love the federal money that flows into their communities, even though they’re wary of spending in the abstract and balk at tax increases. “I guess it’s human nature,” said Bubba Roby, a Huntsville banker who specializes in getting loans to local businesses, most of them doing work with the government. “Everybody wants to see their tax dollars come back home but they don’t want to see it going other places.” Few politicians have played to this attitude better than Shelby and his neighboring-state colleague, Thad Cochran of Mississippi. As leading Republicans on the Senate Appropriations Committee, the two Southerners have built their careers sending federal money back home. They stand out as big-spending dinosaurs compared with a new breed of conservatives who disdain Washington money on principle. Plenty of Democrats bring home the bacon with similar vigor, but none has been simultaneously so critical of government spending. Cochran, while calling Democratic budgets “dangerous,” has grabbed more than $2.5 billion in earmarks over the past three years, according to the nonpartisan Taxpayers for Common Sense. That’s more than any other member of Congress, Republican or

The Shelby Hall building on the campus of University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Democrat, and it’s almost as much as the $2.8 billion that Mississippi is receiving from President Barack Obama’s much-criticized economic stimulus package. Shelby, who is coasting to re-election in November, isn’t far behind with about $1 billion over the past three years. It’s not just their earmarks. The lawmakers routinely wield influence to secure federal aid for struggling local farmers or to stop local program cuts such as those proposed at NASA. Shelby temporarily blocked all of Obama’s nominations recently over disputes about new federal facilities in his state and a Pentagon contract that could create 1,000 jobs in Mobile. Maya MacGuineas, president of the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, said parochial spending is a major obstacle to controlling the deficit. To make significant cuts, she said, nearly everyone will have to sacrifice something. But few will be willing to do so when some

states are getting extra goodies because of insider politics. “Before you can convince someone that their taxes are going to go up or their Medicare payments are going to go down, you have to convince them that the government is budgeting wisely,” she said. In Huntsville last month, the mood couldn’t have been more different from last summer’s hostile town hall meetings, where voters berated lawmakers over spending. Instead, hundreds of engineers and contractors were on hand to hear what Shelby is doing to keep NASA’s lunar space initiative off the chopping block after the Obama administration proposed privatizing it to save money. Concern about the issue, and Shelby’s influence atop the spending committee overseeing NASA, was so high that his appearance created a nearly mile-long traffic jam outside the museum. Shelby — introduced as the city’s “champion” by the mayor

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

— got a standing ovation before he said a word. “I’m bullish on Huntsville,” he told the crowd, blasting the Obama administration over its NASA cuts. Then, without skipping a beat, he described a “ticking time bomb” of federal debt. The conflicting messages barely registered. Like most interest groups seeking something from Washington, the Huntsville crowd argued that while Congress spends too much overall, the local projects are vital. “There’s things like the bridges to nowhere, but we here in north Alabama definitely think defense and space exploration is important,” said Al Reisz, a propulsion engineer who has worked on federal aerospace programs for decades. Shelby’s spending habit extends far beyond missiles and rockets; about a hundred miles south, the senator is almost singlehandedly transforming his hometown of Tuscaloosa. Huge swaths of downtown are roped off behind orange construction barriers as the government builds a new federal building and remakes the city’s streetscape. Just down the road, the University of Alabama is building a state-of-the-art, 900,000square-foot engineering and science complex. Its domed brick centerpiece is one of many public facilities in the state named after Shelby and his wife, Annette. Among Cochran’s pet projects this year were $6 million to expand the Thad Cochran Research, Technology and Economic Development Park, a campus where workers are busy erecting a new office building.

Members of Congress obtained about 2,000 fewer pet projects for their home states last year, according to a White House analysis released last week. Lawmakers stuffed 9,192 socalled earmarks into spending bills last year, at a cost to taxpayers of more than $11 billion, the analysis found. By White House calculations, that’s a 17 percent drop in the number of earmarks and a 27 percent reduction in cost. “All too often, earmarks are an easy vehicle for special interest dealmaking — inserted into congressional spending bills without filter for merit, need, priority, or any scrutiny,” White House budget chief Peter Orszag said in a statement. “Although more needs to be done, the news is encouraging: Earmarks are down by doubledigit percentages,” Orszag said. Earmarks like road and water projects are a cherished tradition and skyrocketed during GOP control of Congress. Democrats have succeeded in cutting them back a little and have instituted reforms to make the process more open and less subject to corruption. House Republicans have sworn them off this year as they seek an edge in the November elections.

“T FOR TWO” By KATHLEEN FAY O’BRIEN

Demonstrators April 8 hold placards in front of Paris city hall during a rally to call for the release of two French journalists and their guides held hostage in Afghanistan since Dec. 29. The Taliban demanded Monday that the French government exchange some of their detainees for two French journalists kidnapped in December in Afghanistan. A question about news coverage of war zones is being answered this week as part of the Ask AP feature.

Questions concern prescription drugs, AP bureaus THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

So much of what Americans buy and use are made outside the nation’s borders. Is that true for the prescriptions you pick up from the drugstore? One person’s curiosity about how to determine the origins of prescription drugs inspired one of the questions in this edition of “Ask AP,” a weekly Q&A column where AP journalists respond to readers’ questions about the news. If you have your own news-related question that you’d like to see answered by an AP reporter or editor, send it to newsquestions@ap.org, with “Ask AP” in the subject line. And please include your full name and hometown so they can be published with your question. You can also tweet your questions to AP, using the AskAP hashtag. Ask AP can also be found on AP Mobile, a multimedia news service available on Internetenabled cell phones. Go to http://www.apnews. com/ to learn more. Q. Does the AP have news bureaus in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan? If so, how many reporters? Tracy Burris Bellevue, Wash. A. The AP maintains significant bureaus in all three places. They cover some of the most important and dangerous news in the world, in print, photos and video, and the AP has committed large sums to provide the most immediate and comprehensive news possible from these hotspots while striving always to keep our staffs

there safe. We avoid giving exact numbers of our personnel in different locations for strategic and security reasons, but in each of these three countries we have a core of permanent international staffers working alongside trained, knowledgeable and well-connected local journalists. The AP is the only major news organization to maintain a large contingent of multi-format journalists in Afghanistan without interruption since the Afghan war started in 2001. We covered the conflict at a time when many organizations were focused only on Iraq. AP was present in Iraq before the start of the war in 2003 but has expanded dramatically since then. Our bureau was inside the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad until 2006. We moved to a different location after a deadly car bomb attack there at the end of 2005. We since have moved again. Often people ask, “Are you in the Green Zone?” The answer is no, we are in a normal part of Baghdad on a secure street. In Islamabad, the AP news hub also oversees AP correspondents in Karachi, Lahore and Peshawar. In addition to the news about war and conflict, AP routinely covers government actions, social issues, culture, education and even sports. We pride ourselves on being first with

accurate dispatches on breaking news, and on painting a well-rounded and objective portrait of life and humanity in each of these countries. John Daniszewski AP Senior Managing Editor New York Q. How can I find out if prescribed medications are made in the USA? I understand that most generics are made in China or India. That piqued my curiosity about where non-generic drugs are manufactured. We know who distributes them but not where they are made. Has “outsourcing” put the health of our citizens at risk? M.S. Isenogle Kenner, La. A. Consumers would be hard pressed to find a “Made In” label on any finished pharmaceutical product. A prescription drug, whether generic or branded, is made of multiple ingredients, each of which may come from a facility in a separate nation. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration keeps information on the origin of prescription drugs and products often have lot numbers that can be used by the agency and the company for tracking purposes. This is especially important in cases of product recalls. Both generic and brand-name drugs often are manufactured abroad. Regardless of where they are made, facilities that make drugs for the U.S. market must meet the FDA’s manufacturing requirements. Damian Troise AP Health Care Writer New York

Timber harvests could boost incomes BY NATHAN KEY MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS SERVICE

LENOIR – Land owners with large tracts of forest may be able to generate some income off their acreage through an intermediate timber harvest. The North Carolina Forest Service can provide information on timber harvesting for land owners who may want to turn their trees into cash. “Land owners can put their land to use to make money,” Forester Richard

Cockerham said. “People are sitting on investments of land. With the economy the way it is, they can become land managers and do something with it rather than sitting on it. They can take steps to keep timber healthy and productive until they need it.” Timber can be considered an investment and produce money for its owner. “Think of it like the stock market,” Caldwell County Ranger Rusty Dellinger said. “It’s an investment, only in the land and timber instead of

stocks and bonds. People can get income on a harvest of timber.” The Forest Service helped with one such situation in the Oak Hill community. In 1986 the timber was harvested from a tract of land. Following a site prep burn in 1987, the tract was reforested and converted into a loblolly pine plantation. Now, 23 years later, the land owner had an intermediate harvest done, thinning out culled species and having good trees cut for a profit.

School volunteer charged with embezzlement BY SARAH NEWELL WILLIAMSON MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS SERVICE

NEWTON – The woman accused of embezzling money from an elementary school’s Parent Teacher Organization submitted to authorities last week. Holly Lafone Specht, 30, is charged with one count of embezzlement by public officers and trustees,

one count of obtaining property by false pretenses and four counts of forging endorsement. She was released on a $4,000 unsecured bond and has a court date of April 16. Specht served as Webb A. Murray Elementary’s PTO treasurer during the 2008-09 school year. That was the only year she held office in the PTO. New PTO officers were installed at the start of the

2009-10 school year. The Catawba County Sheriff’s Office was called in to investigate in February, after the new treasurer examined the books and realized they didn’t add up, said Chief Deputy Coy Reid. “When (Specht) was questioned by the treasurer, she gave the treasurer $500 and said that this should make it even,” Reid said.

Specht is accused of embezzling $3,000 from the PTO in January 2009. Reid said that charge stems from Specht receiving cash from PTO fundraisers and depositing some of it in the account, but not all of it. She is also charged with obtaining property by false pretenses. The indictment states on Aug. 2, 2009, Specht spent $431.77 at Sam’s Club.

Elizabeth Berkley to release self-help book

A collection of Helen Keller’s artifacts, writings, photographs and personal items, including Keller’s U.S. passport from the 1950s, are displayed as part of the “Helen Keller: A Daring Adventure” exhibit at the American Foundation for the Blind in New York. The exhibit is scheduled to open on May 7.

Exhibit in NYC tells the fuller story of Helen Keller BY ULA ILNYTZKY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

EW YORK – “Cat, cat, cold, cold, doll, doll” were Helen Keller’s first handwritten words, and they represent an important moment in the remarkable life of a woman who helped bring about meaningful change for the disabled by writing incessantly to state Legislatures, Congress and presidents. Written on a single page in a neat handwriting, the words are the first document to greet visitors at a new exhibition, “Helen Keller: A Daring Adventure,” opening May 7 at the Manhattan headquarters of the American Foundation for the Blind.

Elsewhere in the exhibit, a photograph shows a blind salesman operating a newsstand with an accompanying

the public see some of its vast Helen Keller holdings as part of a fundraising effort to digitize the archival collection totaling 80,000 letters, photographs, books and artifacts bequeathed by Keller, who worked for the foundation for 44 years. The Associated Press was given an exclusive, early tour of the exhibit. Keller, whose childhood is depicted in the play and film “The Miracle Worker,” lost her hearing and vision at 19 months. She wrote her first words when she was 7 years old, just 15 weeks after her beloved teacher, Anne Sullivan, arrived at the Keller household in 1887. Her enormous progress is

1964 Jackie Kennedy interviews to be published in 2011 NEW YORK (AP) – During the first half of 1964, just months after her husband was assassinated, Jacqueline Kennedy sat for seven interviews with historian and family friend Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. They met at her home in Washington, D.C., where the former first lady discussed her marriage, her White House years, election-year campaigning and her husband’s thoughts about a second term. The interview is part of what became the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library’s Oral History and, at Jacqueline Kennedy’s request, was kept sealed for an indefinite time. She died in 1994. Now, with the 50th anniversary of her father’s inauguration coming next year, daughter Caroline Kennedy is allowing the conversations to be widely released. In September 2011, Hyperion will publish the transcripts and release 61⁄2 half hours of audiotape, providing a new and

Caroline Kennedy will serve as editor and write an introduction for the book, currently untitled, and a historian will provide annotation. (Schlesinger, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, died in 2007.) “My mother’s passion for history guided and in-

formed her work in the White House,” Kennedy, president of the Kennedy Library Foundation, said in a statement last week issued by Hyperion. “She believed in my father, his vision for America, and in the art of politics, and felt it was important to share her knowledge and excitement with future generations. It is a privilege for me to honor the memory of my parents by making this unique history available.”

demonstrated in another letter just two years later in which she writes, “I study about the earth and the animals, and I like arithmetic exceedingly. I learn many new words too. Exceedingly is one that I learned yesterday.” The two documents are among 61 of Keller’s personal items on display, 31 of which have never before been in a public exhibition. She joined the American Foundation for the Blind in 1924, three years after it was founded. “This is an extraordinary event by our organization to provide this kind of public access,” said Carl R. Augusto, the foundation’s president.

NEW YORK (AP) – Elizabeth Berkley is ready to take your question. The actress will be writing “Ask Elizabeth,” a “a self-esteem handbook for teen girls” based on questions she has been asked over the years. G.P.

The 37-year-old Berkley is best known for the sitcom “Saved by the Bell” and for playing an exotic dancer in the movie “Showgirls.” She also appeared in the films “The First Wives Club” and “Any Given Sunday.”

ARTS WINNERS

–

Fiction: “Tinkers,” by Paul Harding (Bellevue Literary Press), a celebration of life in which a New England father and son, through suffering and joy, transcend their imprisoning lives and offer new ways of perceiving the world and mortality. Drama: “Next to Normal,” music by Tom Kitt, book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey, a rock musical that grapples with mental illness in a suburban family and expands the scope of subject matter for musicals. (Moved into contention by the board within the drama category.) History: Awarded to “Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World,” by Liaquat Ahamed (The Penguin Press), a compelling account of how four powerful bankers played crucial roles in triggering the Great Depression and ultimately transforming the United States into the world’s financial leader. Biography: “The First Tycoon: The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt,” by T.J Stiles (Alfred A. Knopf), a penetrating portrait of a complex, self-made titan who revolutionized transportation, amassed vast wealth and shaped the economic world in ways still felt today. Poetry: “Versed,” by Rae Armantrout (Wesleyan University Press), a book striking for its wit and linguistic inventiveness, offering poems that are often little thought-bombs detonating in the mind long after the first reading. General nonfiction: “The Dead Hand: The Untold Story of the Cold War Arms Race and Its Dangerous Legacy,” by David E. Hoffman (Doubleday), a well-documented narrative that examines the terrifying doomsday competition between two superpowers and how weapons of mass destruction still imperil humankind.

‘Next to Normal’ wins Pulitzer Prize for drama NEW YORK (AP) – “Next to Normal,” a musical about the complexity and heartbreak of a woman’s mental illness and its effect on her family, has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for drama. “Everybody can relate to what we wrote about,” Tom Kitt, the composer of “Next to Normal,” said Monday. “Even though the score is based mostly in rock, I try to write emotional music for the appropriate moment.” Brian Yorkey, who wrote the show’s book and lyrics, agreed. “While I am really flattered when people say we have changed the form of musicals, I don’t know if that is true. Certainly, the show is adventurous,” Yorkey said. “But, ironically, the other side is that this is a show about real people and what they are going through, exploring their pains and also their joys on a level that musicals don’t often do.”

1913 Lincoln film found in NH barn cleanup BY KATHY MCCORMACK ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

ONCORD, N.H. – In a tale celebrating the romance of movies, a contractor cleaning out an old New Hampshire barn destined for demolition found seven reels of nitrate film inside, including the only known copy of a 1913 silent film about Abraham Lincoln. “When Lincoln Paid,” a 30-minute film about the mother of a dead Union solider asking Lincoln to pardon a Confederate soldier whom she had initially turned in, stars the brother of John Ford, director of “The Grapes of Wrath,” “The Quiet Man,” and other classics. “I was up in the attic space, and shoved away over in a corner was the film and a silent movie projector, as well,” Peter Massie, a movie buff, said of his discovery in the western New Hampshire town of Nelson. “I thought it was really cool.” It was the summer of 2006, and the film canisters sat in his basement

Director and star Francis Ford is seen in the roll of Abraham Lincoln in a film that had been lost for 97 years. for a while before Massie thought of contacting nearby Keene State College, where film professor Larry Benaquist thought it was a rare find. After working with the George Eastman House film preservation museum in Rochester,

N.Y., the college determined that the film, directed by and starring Francis Ford, did not exist in film archives. In fact, it was one of eight silent films starring Ford as Lincoln; there are no known surviving copies of the others.

So long, sardines Last cans of silvery fish being packed in Maine

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

ROSPECT HARBOR, Maine (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The intensely fishy smell of sardines has been the smell of money for generations of workers in Maine who have snipped, sliced and packed small, silvery fish into billions of cans on their way to Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lunch buckets and kitchen cabinets. For the past 135 years, sardine canneries have been as much a part of Maineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small coastal villages as the thick Down East fog. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been estimated that more than 400 canneries have come and gone along the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long, jagged coast. The lone survivor, the Stinson Seafood plant here in this eastern Maine shoreside town, shut down this past week after a century in operation. It is the last sardine cannery not just in Maine, but in the United States. Lela Anderson, 78, has worked in sardine canneries since the 1940s and was among the fastest in sardine-packing contests that were held back in the day. Her packing days are over; now sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a quality-control inspector looking over the bite-sized morsels in can after can that passes by her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem possible this is the end,â&#x20AC;? Anderson lamented last week while taking a break at the plant where sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked for 54 years. She and nearly 130 co-workers will lose their jobs. Once considered an imported delicacy, sardines now have a humble reputation. They arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one species of fish. Instead, sardines are any of dozens of small, oily, cold-water fish that are part of the herring family that are sold in tightly packed cans.

Lela Anderson fills cans with sardine steaks at the Stinson sardine cannery in Gouldsboro, Maine. Anderson has worked at the cannery for 54 years. The cannery, the last of its kind in the U.S., planned to shut down this past week. The first U.S. sardine cannery opened in Maine in 1875, when a New York businessman set up the Eagle Preserved Fish Co. in Eastport. Dozens of plants soon popped up, sounding loud horns and

By 1900 there were 75 canneries, where knife-wielding men, women and young children expertly sliced off heads and tails and removed innards before packing them tight into sardine tins. These days most of the canning is automated and the fish

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; That Twitter message you just posted about your ham sandwich might now become part of history. Twitter is donating its archives of tweets to the Library of Congress, going back to the first one posted by co-founder Jack Dorsey on March 21, 2006. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a profound moment, and Dorsey didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come close to Twitterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 140-character limit for messages.

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Despite the now well-known and farreaching effects of smoking, more than one-fifth of Americans still smoke. Why? For many, it may be hard to quit because they also have depression. According to government statistics released Tuesday, 43 percent of adult smokers age 20 and older have depression. Among men ages 40 to 54, a whopping 55 percent of those who smoke have depression. Among women ages 20 to 39 who smoke, 50 percent have depression. The report, drawn from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys of 2005 through 2008, also found depressed smokers are heavier smokers. Depressed people were more likely to smoke within five minutes of awakening and to smoke more than one pack of cigarettes a day. Twenty-eight percent of adult smokers with depression smoked more than a pack a day, which is almost twice the rate for adult smokers without depression. Smokers with depression were also much less likely to have tried quitting. However, other studies have demonstrated that smokers with depression can succeed with intensive treatment. These treatments usually include therapies for help with depression and smoking cessation. The report was published by the National Center for Health Statistics.
